WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.020
 Is to basically go from Genesis to Revelation in an overview.

00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:09.200
! And my hope is that we can really see the magnificence of God's creation.

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:14.060
 and what His plan of redemption is, and really how we fit into that.

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:20.420
 So, to begin with, I'd like to read out of Colossians 1, starting in verse 15.

00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:22.500
 And read that.

00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:29.260
 It says, He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.820
 For everything was created by Him in heaven on earth, the visible and the invisible,

00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:37.420
 whether thrones or dominions, or rulers or authorities.

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.700
 All things have been created through Him and for Him.

00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:45.140
 He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together.

00:00:46.379 --> 00:00:49.260
 Lord, I pray that today, as we study Your Word,

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:55.560
 Lord, that we would gain a better understanding of who You are,

00:00:55.620 --> 00:00:59.079
 that we may glimpse at how big and how holy You are.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.399
 Thank You for Your Word, and I pray that today, You would speak through Your Word,

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:04.939
 and speak through me.

00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:10.299
 Lord, may You open ears and hearts, and open my mouth to speak.

00:01:10.420 --> 00:01:12.200
 I pray this in Your name. Amen.

00:01:13.019 --> 00:01:16.140
 As we begin in Genesis chapter 1,

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:20.340
 it doesn't take long to get to the first verse.

00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:20.659
 It says,

00:01:20.740 --> 00:01:22.180
 In the beginning, God.

00:01:22.180 --> 00:01:27.000
 And that is the foundation from which we have to start,

00:01:27.100 --> 00:01:29.060
 is that before time, before creation,

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:31.560
 that God existed,

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:33.040
 He is infinite,

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:34.660
 He is holy,

00:01:35.580 --> 00:01:39.520
 and that He has created us,

00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.860
 therefore we've started as His creation.

00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:42.960
 We have to start from that point,

00:01:43.020 --> 00:01:43.840
 that He is the Creator,

00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:46.860
 and that we are creation.

00:01:46.859 --> 00:01:49.640
 Let's see.

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:52.620
 God created time,

00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:53.439
 and space,

00:01:53.539 --> 00:01:53.939
 and matter,

00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:55.599
 and He created the earth,

00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:57.180
 and humans.

00:01:57.539 --> 00:02:00.200
 And so when we see God creating man,

00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:02.239
 it says that He created man in His own image.

00:02:03.259 --> 00:02:04.760
 And there's a lot packed into that,

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.439
 because what that means is that man is spiritual.

00:02:08.579 --> 00:02:09.500
 Man has a spirit,

00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.000
 and is able to interact,

00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:13.500
 and to have a relationship with God.

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:15.639
 As we look in the beginning in Genesis,

00:02:15.860 --> 00:02:18.560
 that Adam was placed into the Garden of Eden,

00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:20.819
 that God was physically with Adam,

00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:22.680
 walking in the garden with him,

00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:24.659
 that God gave him a mandate.

00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:29.719
 He gave him the mandate to care for the garden,

00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.740
 and to take care of it,

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:33.659
 and to work in it.

00:02:34.139 --> 00:02:37.800
 He also told Adam to name the animals.

00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.139
 And so we see that there's this relationship

00:02:41.139 --> 00:02:43.399
 between God and Adam.

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:44.719
 It's unhindered.

00:02:45.839 --> 00:02:47.479
 There's joy there.

00:02:47.659 --> 00:02:49.799
 There's peace on the earth.

00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:51.979
 And that's where we started.

00:02:52.079 --> 00:02:54.179
 That's what the creation was created as.

00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.279
 It is holy,

00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:58.359
 and full of joy.

00:02:58.459 --> 00:02:59.299
 There's no sadness,

00:02:59.500 --> 00:03:00.139
 no death.

00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:05.839
 And so that was God's vision of creation,

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:06.719
 that it was good.

00:03:06.779 --> 00:03:07.699
 It was very good.

00:03:07.699 --> 00:03:12.919
 And so then we move into Genesis chapter 3,

00:03:13.579 --> 00:03:16.560
 and we see that sin enters the world.

00:03:17.379 --> 00:03:19.199
 And sin,

00:03:20.119 --> 00:03:21.280
 when Adam sins,

00:03:21.399 --> 00:03:24.339
 it is his taking God's authority

00:03:24.339 --> 00:03:25.379
 that God gave to him,

00:03:25.859 --> 00:03:27.739
 and he rejects that authority,

00:03:27.979 --> 00:03:31.599
 and makes himself his own master.

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.259
 When we look in Genesis chapter 3,

00:03:37.379 --> 00:03:41.299
 it says that the serpent came

00:03:41.299 --> 00:03:42.519
 and tempted Eve,

00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.659
 and then Eve gave to Adam,

00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.120
 and Adam disobeyed the direct command of God,

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:50.639
 and it separated them.

00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:52.400
 When God came,

00:03:53.060 --> 00:03:54.620
 Adam fled from God's sight.

00:03:54.699 --> 00:03:56.139
 There was a separation there.

00:03:56.939 --> 00:03:59.639
 And so then as we move in from there,

00:03:59.699 --> 00:04:01.459
 God removes Adam and Eve

00:04:01.459 --> 00:04:03.519
 from the Garden of Eden.

00:04:04.279 --> 00:04:05.919
 They are now separated from him,

00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:13.159
 and we see that God does not leave Adam without hope.

00:04:13.239 --> 00:04:14.719
 It says in Genesis 3.15,

00:04:15.379 --> 00:04:18.000
 that I will put hostility between you and the woman,

00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.099
 and between your seed and her seed.

00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:21.519
 He's talking to Satan here.

00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:23.699
 And he will strike your head,

00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:25.240
 and you will strike his heel.

00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:26.360
 So from the very beginning,

00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:27.480
 there was this promise.

00:04:28.060 --> 00:04:30.780
 Man was now separated from God and lost.

00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:32.319
 There was death.

00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.240
 There was this spiritual separation.

00:04:34.460 --> 00:04:34.980
 God said,

00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:35.900
 one day,

00:04:36.460 --> 00:04:39.699
 I'm going to crush Satan's head.

00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.060
 I'm going to kill this evil,

00:04:42.259 --> 00:04:45.379
 and there will be this bringing back

00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:48.759
 of the way things were before sin.

00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:53.420
 And so then we see that that goes into Noah,

00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:57.759
 and we see how vile and how wicked the earth became

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:01.319
 when sin entered the world,

00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:02.800
 and this separation that was there,

00:05:03.379 --> 00:05:05.439
 that it took a very limited amount of time

00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.700
 for God to literally wipe out most of creation.

00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:11.120
 And yet,

00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:12.000
 even in that,

00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:13.959
 we find that

00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.139
 with God starting with Noah and his family,

00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:18.899
 it wasn't long before the Tower of Babel,

00:05:19.539 --> 00:05:21.680
 and just proof that man was fallen

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.319
 and in need of a Savior.

00:05:25.459 --> 00:05:28.639
 As we come into the Abrahamic covenant,

00:05:28.779 --> 00:05:29.319
 to the law,

00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:35.560
 we find that Israel came into being

00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.219
 or into God's plan,

00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:43.839
 and that God had a plan for Israel,

00:05:43.939 --> 00:05:44.839
 that they were the beginning

00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.920
 of restoring man to himself.

00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:50.539
 He promised through Abraham

00:05:50.539 --> 00:05:52.100
 that the nations would be blessed,

00:05:52.100 --> 00:05:54.540
 and yet he pulled Israel out

00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:57.040
 to be a light to the nations,

00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.180
 to be a light to those,

00:05:59.860 --> 00:06:00.960
 the rest of the nations,

00:06:01.020 --> 00:06:01.920
 to see God.

00:06:02.320 --> 00:06:04.860
 And we see that beginning with Egypt,

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.000
 that God said,

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:06.800
 I raised up Pharaoh.

00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:07.420
 He says this,

00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:08.300
 I believe it's in Hebrews,

00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:09.840
 that God raised up Pharaoh

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:11.740
 that he might show,

00:06:12.540 --> 00:06:13.600
 show his glory,

00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:14.420
 his majesty.

00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:21.340
 I guess just realizing

00:06:21.340 --> 00:06:24.360
 the depth of the need

00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.900
 that man had for a Savior,

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.460
 and then looking as the law was given,

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:35.520
 it says that the law

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:38.840
 was a tutor to bring us to Christ,

00:06:40.840 --> 00:06:42.920
 that basically the law,

00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.020
 it's in Hebrews.

00:06:46.100 --> 00:06:46.780
 Let me go to Hebrews.

00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:54.680
 Hebrews chapter 10.

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:06.400
 It says,

00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:09.580
 Since the law has only a shadow

00:07:09.580 --> 00:07:10.720
 of the good things to come,

00:07:10.780 --> 00:07:12.120
 and not the actual form

00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:12.980
 of these realities,

00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.019
 it can never perfect the worshipers

00:07:16.019 --> 00:07:17.360
 by the same sacrifices.

00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:18.780
 They continually offer

00:07:18.780 --> 00:07:19.740
 year after year.

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:21.000
 Otherwise,

00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:22.699
 wouldn't they have stopped

00:07:22.699 --> 00:07:23.240
 being offered,

00:07:23.340 --> 00:07:24.220
 since the worshipers,

00:07:24.280 --> 00:07:25.000
 once purified,

00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:25.899
 would no longer have

00:07:25.899 --> 00:07:27.100
 any confession of sins.

00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:28.879
 But in the sacrifices,

00:07:29.060 --> 00:07:29.959
 there was a reminder

00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:31.860
 of sins every year,

00:07:32.180 --> 00:07:33.199
 for it is impossible

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:34.939
 for the blood of bulls and ghosts

00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:35.899
 to take away sin.

00:07:36.379 --> 00:07:38.139
 And so you see the nation of Israel

00:07:38.139 --> 00:07:40.220
 longing for the Savior.

00:07:40.340 --> 00:07:41.420
 They knew that they were sinful.

00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:43.040
 The law brought about

00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:44.259
 a consciousness of sin.

00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:45.300
 Paul talks about how

00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:48.780
 the sin-taking opportunity

00:07:48.780 --> 00:07:49.400
 of the law

00:07:49.400 --> 00:07:50.980
 works in him,

00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:52.819
 that it just shows

00:07:52.819 --> 00:07:54.319
 the corruption that he has.

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:56.560
 And then the sacrificial system

00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:57.240
 was a picture

00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.639
 of things to come.

00:07:58.700 --> 00:07:59.480
 It was incomplete,

00:08:00.200 --> 00:08:02.000
 but they knew it was coming.

00:08:02.139 --> 00:08:03.680
 And so you see God's plan

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:04.939
 being worked out

00:08:04.939 --> 00:08:06.120
 as he shows man

00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:07.280
 his need for him,

00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:08.740
 his holy law,

00:08:08.740 --> 00:08:11.319
 and what his standards are.

00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:13.460
 He commanded Israel

00:08:13.460 --> 00:08:14.819
 over and over and over again

00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:15.660
 throughout Leviticus

00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:17.319
 to be holy as he is holy.

00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:19.160
 The standard was set

00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:19.900
 at perfection,

00:08:20.660 --> 00:08:21.699
 but only one sin,

00:08:21.780 --> 00:08:22.579
 James 2.10,

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:24.379
 he who keeps the whole law

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:25.060
 and yet stumbles

00:08:25.060 --> 00:08:25.980
 at one point

00:08:25.980 --> 00:08:27.460
 is guilty of all.

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:28.579
 And so man was in this

00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:30.660
 great need of a Savior.

00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:31.340
 And all throughout

00:08:31.340 --> 00:08:32.019
 the Old Testament,

00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:33.940
 we see as man failed

00:08:33.940 --> 00:08:35.299
 to live up to God's standards.

00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:38.299
 We have in the book of Psalms

00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:41.259
 a great example

00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:42.419
 of God's,

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:45.240
 of a heart of a godly man

00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:46.679
 that knew his sin

00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:48.399
 and yet had a relationship

00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:49.059
 with Christ

00:08:49.059 --> 00:08:49.779
 and knew,

00:08:50.539 --> 00:08:51.819
 or a relationship with God

00:08:51.819 --> 00:08:53.000
 and knew what was coming.

00:08:54.259 --> 00:08:55.120
 You see there's just

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.259
 the praise that he had

00:08:56.259 --> 00:08:58.000
 for God working

00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:59.799
 through his law

00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:00.659
 and through his spirit.

00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:02.919
 And so that brings us

00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:03.679
 into the prophets

00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.039
 who were shouting out,

00:09:07.179 --> 00:09:07.599
 basically,

00:09:07.819 --> 00:09:09.259
 the need for repentance

00:09:09.259 --> 00:09:11.599
 and the Isaiah,

00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:12.939
 the prophecy

00:09:12.939 --> 00:09:14.000
 of a coming Savior.

00:09:14.319 --> 00:09:14.979
 And so Israel

00:09:14.979 --> 00:09:15.919
 was looking forward

00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.019
 to this coming Savior

00:09:19.019 --> 00:09:19.799
 that would save them

00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:20.459
 from their sins

00:09:20.459 --> 00:09:21.419
 and that would bring

00:09:21.419 --> 00:09:21.939
 redemption

00:09:21.939 --> 00:09:23.359
 and reconciliation

00:09:23.359 --> 00:09:24.339
 back to them.

00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.459
 The temple was set up

00:09:26.459 --> 00:09:27.399
 in such a way

00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:28.620
 that God dwelt,

00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:29.859
 his Shekinah glory

00:09:29.859 --> 00:09:31.000
 dwelt in the temple

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:31.939
 in the Holy of Holies,

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:32.899
 but man was separated

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:33.339
 from that.

00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:34.120
 There was a veil

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.680
 that separated man

00:09:35.680 --> 00:09:36.180
 from that.

00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:38.600
 And so these people

00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:39.259
 had to go through

00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:39.820
 a priest

00:09:39.820 --> 00:09:42.379
 who entered once

00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:42.960
 a year

00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:43.960
 into the holy place

00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:47.060
 and his offering

00:09:47.060 --> 00:09:48.399
 was the atonement

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:48.800
 or the,

00:09:49.800 --> 00:09:51.320
 it was the,

00:09:52.300 --> 00:09:52.560
 yeah,

00:09:52.660 --> 00:09:53.379
 it was basically

00:09:53.379 --> 00:09:53.899
 the atonement

00:09:53.899 --> 00:09:56.280
 was what was the shadow

00:09:56.280 --> 00:09:57.180
 of things to come

00:09:57.180 --> 00:09:59.180
 until Christ came.

00:09:59.179 --> 00:10:00.739
 and so,

00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:02.819
 I just,

00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:04.059
 I wanted to make clear

00:10:04.059 --> 00:10:04.839
 through this

00:10:04.839 --> 00:10:08.459
 that we have examples

00:10:08.459 --> 00:10:09.120
 of Daniel,

00:10:09.839 --> 00:10:10.739
 of Jonah,

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.099
 the Psalms continually

00:10:13.099 --> 00:10:13.839
 talks about

00:10:13.839 --> 00:10:14.799
 shouting out

00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:15.599
 to the nations

00:10:15.599 --> 00:10:18.599
 that God raised up Israel

00:10:18.599 --> 00:10:20.459
 to be a light

00:10:20.459 --> 00:10:21.299
 to the nations.

00:10:21.439 --> 00:10:22.219
 They weren't designed

00:10:22.219 --> 00:10:24.759
 to be this little

00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:26.000
 separate group of people

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.100
 that never had any

00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:28.519
 interaction with the

00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:29.460
 outside world,

00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:31.059
 that they were to be a light

00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:32.360
 to which other nations

00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:33.519
 were drawn to God,

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:34.299
 not to them.

00:10:36.059 --> 00:10:36.480
 And yet,

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.200
 so often,

00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:38.399
 Israel failed

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.439
 to live up to that standard.

00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:41.779
 They rebelled,

00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.480
 they worshipped foreign gods,

00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:44.799
 they allowed the nations

00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:45.860
 to affect them,

00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:47.439
 and yet,

00:10:47.579 --> 00:10:48.720
 God was faithful to them,

00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.039
 He was merciful to them

00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:51.179
 over and over again.

00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.259
 He judged them,

00:10:54.620 --> 00:10:57.000
 but He always brought them back

00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.620
 in mercy and love,

00:10:58.699 --> 00:10:59.000
 and so,

00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.600
 it's often stated

00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:01.539
 that God is different

00:11:01.539 --> 00:11:02.360
 in the Old Testament

00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:03.620
 than He is in the New Testament,

00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:04.860
 but just looking at

00:11:04.860 --> 00:11:06.199
 how God dealt

00:11:06.199 --> 00:11:07.340
 with the nation of Israel

00:11:07.340 --> 00:11:08.560
 and His love

00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:09.259
 and His mercy

00:11:09.259 --> 00:11:10.519
 towards them

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.379
 is incredible.

00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:13.899
 And so,

00:11:14.280 --> 00:11:15.560
 getting forward,

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:16.740
 let's just go straight

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:20.100
 into Christ.

00:11:20.780 --> 00:11:21.660
 That's really what

00:11:21.660 --> 00:11:22.540
 we're here for today

00:11:22.540 --> 00:11:23.180
 is Christ.

00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.000
 He is the answer

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.080
 to the Old Testament.

00:11:28.920 --> 00:11:29.600
 He's just,

00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:30.440
 it's amazing.

00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:31.580
 As I was studying for this,

00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:31.940
 it's just,

00:11:32.540 --> 00:11:33.960
 it really is amazing.

00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:35.240
 So,

00:11:35.300 --> 00:11:36.720
 let's,

00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.379
 let's see here.

00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:40.519
 Let's look at

00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:41.519
 John chapter 1.

00:11:56.400 --> 00:11:57.360
 We find that

00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:58.040
 in the beginning

00:11:58.040 --> 00:11:59.100
 was the Word,

00:11:59.180 --> 00:11:59.980
 and the Word was

00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:01.060
 with God,

00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:02.220
 and the Word was God.

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:04.300
 He was with God

00:12:04.300 --> 00:12:04.840
 in the beginning,

00:12:04.940 --> 00:12:05.420
 and all things

00:12:05.420 --> 00:12:06.340
 were created through Him.

00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:06.820
 Once again,

00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:08.519
 we have that Christ

00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:09.580
 was the Creator

00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:10.460
 of all things,

00:12:10.700 --> 00:12:11.500
 and through Him

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:12.720
 all things hold together.

00:12:14.680 --> 00:12:15.720
 All things were created

00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:16.139
 through Him,

00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:16.940
 and apart from Him

00:12:16.940 --> 00:12:17.639
 nothing was made

00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:18.940
 that was made.

00:12:22.980 --> 00:12:23.420
 He,

00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:25.500
 when Christ came,

00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:27.460
 we've got to remember

00:12:27.460 --> 00:12:28.759
 that He was fully God.

00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.279
 He was fully man,

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.039
 but He was also

00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:32.819
 fully God,

00:12:32.899 --> 00:12:34.500
 and so as God

00:12:34.500 --> 00:12:35.460
 came to earth,

00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:37.960
 man who for 4,000 years

00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:38.779
 had been separated

00:12:38.779 --> 00:12:39.419
 from God,

00:12:40.059 --> 00:12:41.139
 finally was able

00:12:41.139 --> 00:12:41.980
 to see God

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:43.120
 in human flesh.

00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:44.379
 That should blow

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:45.279
 our minds right there,

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:46.200
 that God who was

00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:47.120
 unable to be seen

00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.200
 has come

00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:49.759
 in human flesh,

00:12:49.899 --> 00:12:50.659
 veiled His glory

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:51.799
 so that we could see Him

00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:53.559
 in human flesh.

00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:55.100
 And it says

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:56.120
 He came into His own,

00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:57.419
 and His own

00:12:57.419 --> 00:12:58.460
 did not receive Him.

00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.639
 we have a tendency,

00:13:02.899 --> 00:13:03.259
 I think,

00:13:03.319 --> 00:13:03.879
 or at least I have

00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:04.279
 a tendency

00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:05.539
 to say

00:13:05.539 --> 00:13:06.980
 shame on people.

00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:08.299
 Shame on those people

00:13:08.299 --> 00:13:08.879
 because

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:10.819
 if I would have been there

00:13:10.819 --> 00:13:11.899
 and that was God,

00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:12.799
 I mean,

00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:13.539
 how amazing

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:14.259
 would that have been?

00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:14.740
 But yet,

00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:15.700
 we,

00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:17.399
 Ephesians 2, 1

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:18.179
 says we were dead

00:13:18.179 --> 00:13:19.000
 in our trespasses

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:19.559
 and sins.

00:13:19.740 --> 00:13:21.080
 We love darkness

00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:22.000
 rather than light.

00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:25.059
 He came into His own,

00:13:25.139 --> 00:13:25.539
 and His own

00:13:25.539 --> 00:13:26.399
 did not receive Him.

00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:27.000
 And so we see

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:27.700
 Christ's life

00:13:27.700 --> 00:13:30.399
 lived out in perfection.

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:31.679
 He was tempted

00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:32.460
 as we are

00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:33.019
 in all ways.

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:33.960
 He was fully human

00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.019
 yet without sin.

00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:37.620
 And so what He did

00:13:37.620 --> 00:13:38.320
 for us

00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.080
 is amazing.

00:13:40.980 --> 00:13:42.220
 What we could never do,

00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:42.960
 James 2, 10,

00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:44.080
 if we keep the whole

00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:44.700
 long yet stumble

00:13:44.700 --> 00:13:45.460
 at one point,

00:13:45.899 --> 00:13:46.980
 we're guilty of all.

00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:49.120
 We all have sinned

00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:49.879
 and fallen short

00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:50.799
 of the glory of God,

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:51.740
 and yet He came

00:13:51.740 --> 00:13:52.740
 and He lived

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:53.720
 a life without sin

00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:54.240
 in the midst

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:54.779
 of a world

00:13:54.779 --> 00:13:55.639
 that hated Him.

00:13:58.200 --> 00:13:59.539
 He was persecuted.

00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:01.860
 He was tempted.

00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:06.799
 Just,

00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:07.840
 yeah.

00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:10.620
 Isaiah 53, 11

00:14:10.620 --> 00:14:12.580
 talks of,

00:14:12.659 --> 00:14:14.080
 let's go there

00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:14.820
 for a second.

00:14:14.940 --> 00:14:15.759
 Isaiah 53.

00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:28.600
 Alright,

00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:29.159
 this is,

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:30.659
 Isaiah.

00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:32.460
 He will see it out

00:14:32.460 --> 00:14:33.580
 of His anguish,

00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:34.980
 and He will be satisfied

00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:35.980
 with His knowledge.

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:37.580
 My righteous servant

00:14:37.580 --> 00:14:38.700
 will justify many,

00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:40.179
 and He will carry

00:14:40.179 --> 00:14:40.960
 their iniquities.

00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:42.159
 Therefore,

00:14:42.340 --> 00:14:43.039
 I will give Him

00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:43.439
 the many

00:14:43.439 --> 00:14:44.259
 as a portion.

00:14:44.259 --> 00:14:45.019
 He will receive

00:14:45.019 --> 00:14:46.139
 the mighty as spoiled

00:14:46.139 --> 00:14:47.200
 because He has submitted

00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:48.279
 Himself to death

00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:49.939
 and was counted

00:14:49.939 --> 00:14:50.759
 among the rebels.

00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:52.500
 Christ came

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:54.200
 out of love for us,

00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:55.039
 but He came out

00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:56.080
 of a love for the Father,

00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:57.120
 to do the Father's will.

00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:57.340
 He said,

00:14:57.419 --> 00:14:58.240
 I didn't come to do

00:14:58.240 --> 00:14:59.139
 my will,

00:14:59.220 --> 00:15:00.259
 but the will of the Father.

00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:02.279
 It is God's,

00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:03.840
 been God's plan

00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:04.779
 since the beginning

00:15:04.779 --> 00:15:06.500
 that He would redeem

00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:07.480
 a people to Himself.

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:08.819
 We have been

00:15:08.819 --> 00:15:09.939
 separated from God,

00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:11.840
 and yet God

00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.679
 sent Himself.

00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:15.019
 He sent God Himself,

00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:15.599
 Christ,

00:15:16.539 --> 00:15:18.639
 to reconcile us.

00:15:19.179 --> 00:15:19.799
 The cross

00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.679
 is the focal point

00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:25.239
 at which God

00:15:25.239 --> 00:15:26.739
 absorbed the wrath

00:15:26.739 --> 00:15:28.819
 that God had for us

00:15:28.819 --> 00:15:29.979
 upon Himself.

00:15:30.079 --> 00:15:30.859
 The crucifixion

00:15:30.859 --> 00:15:31.339
 was horrible.

00:15:31.479 --> 00:15:32.439
 It was the worst death

00:15:32.439 --> 00:15:33.620
 imaginable,

00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:34.739
 that it was nothing

00:15:34.739 --> 00:15:35.500
 in comparison

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:36.279
 to the wrath

00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:37.459
 of God being

00:15:37.459 --> 00:15:38.639
 poured out upon His Son.

00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:38.720
 God,

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:44.019
 that's amazing.

00:15:46.019 --> 00:15:47.279
 I heard it said once

00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:49.740
 that only an infinite God

00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:52.000
 could pay an infinite price

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.360
 for our sins

00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.620
 in a finite amount of time.

00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:56.939
 But for us,

00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:58.480
 as finite individuals,

00:15:58.699 --> 00:15:59.899
 it would take an infinite amount

00:15:59.899 --> 00:16:00.539
 of time to pay

00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:01.620
 for an infinite debt,

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.659
 amount of wrath.

00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:05.459
 God absorbed an infinite amount

00:16:05.459 --> 00:16:06.079
 of wrath

00:16:06.079 --> 00:16:07.659
 upon that cross.

00:16:08.579 --> 00:16:09.500
 Praise the Lord.

00:16:13.179 --> 00:16:16.279
 That should drive us

00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:17.600
 to a love

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:18.719
 for Christ

00:16:18.719 --> 00:16:20.899
 that should totally

00:16:20.899 --> 00:16:21.639
 transform our lives.

00:16:21.699 --> 00:16:23.000
 That's what we've been called to

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.199
 as believers,

00:16:26.740 --> 00:16:28.539
 is to love the Lord our God.

00:16:28.539 --> 00:16:29.439
 And I think when we get

00:16:29.439 --> 00:16:30.480
 an image of the cross,

00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:31.980
 of what Christ did for us,

00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:35.099
 it will transform our lives.

00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:39.519
 When Christ died,

00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:42.240
 we know from the New Testament

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:43.360
 that the veil was torn.

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:48.599
 And just to view the...

00:16:48.599 --> 00:16:50.259
 For 6,000 years,

00:16:50.379 --> 00:16:51.939
 men had been separated from God

00:16:51.939 --> 00:16:53.339
 from what they were created to do.

00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:54.779
 Remember that when we were created,

00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.159
 we were created

00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:58.159
 with the relationship with Christ.

00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:59.559
 Man was designed

00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:01.639
 to know and to glorify God

00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:03.199
 through a relationship with Him

00:17:03.199 --> 00:17:04.359
 and through obeying His law.

00:17:04.879 --> 00:17:07.000
 For this 4,000 year period,

00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:10.180
 man had been separated from God

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:11.200
 and had been proving

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:12.839
 over and over and over again

00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:14.579
 how corrupt and how vile

00:17:14.579 --> 00:17:15.659
 he was apart from Christ.

00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:16.240
 And now,

00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:17.720
 the veil had been torn.

00:17:18.659 --> 00:17:19.720
 And no longer did man

00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.220
 need to go through a high priest,

00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:22.539
 but he could go

00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:23.680
 through Christ

00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:24.619
 directly in

00:17:24.619 --> 00:17:25.819
 to God.

00:17:25.819 --> 00:17:28.539
 And so often,

00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:29.500
 we,

00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:30.799
 I,

00:17:31.059 --> 00:17:31.639
 become

00:17:31.639 --> 00:17:34.299
 so focused on

00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:36.079
 what I'm doing.

00:17:36.339 --> 00:17:37.159
 How am I

00:17:37.159 --> 00:17:38.980
 living my Christian life?

00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:40.079
 The ins and outs,

00:17:40.179 --> 00:17:41.539
 the details and all of that.

00:17:42.259 --> 00:17:44.439
 And Jesus rebuked the Pharisees.

00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:44.740
 He said,

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:46.099
 you look in the Scriptures

00:17:46.099 --> 00:17:47.359
 because you think that in them

00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:48.359
 you have eternal life.

00:17:48.819 --> 00:17:49.819
 And He rebuked them

00:17:49.819 --> 00:17:50.879
 because they forgot Him.

00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:53.380
 And I think so often,

00:17:54.120 --> 00:17:55.280
 we get caught up,

00:17:55.580 --> 00:17:56.840
 and it's really legalism,

00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:57.840
 but we get caught up

00:17:57.840 --> 00:17:59.640
 in pleasing God

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:00.560
 by our actions

00:18:00.560 --> 00:18:02.340
 when in reality,

00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:02.980
 Christ is saying,

00:18:03.100 --> 00:18:03.400
 I didn't,

00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:05.320
 I came and I fulfilled the law.

00:18:05.840 --> 00:18:06.160
 He said,

00:18:06.220 --> 00:18:07.380
 I didn't come to abolish the law,

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:09.080
 I came to fulfill the law.

00:18:09.760 --> 00:18:10.540
 And in that,

00:18:11.040 --> 00:18:12.680
 we can know Him,

00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:13.620
 we can have a relationship

00:18:13.620 --> 00:18:14.280
 with Him.

00:18:14.360 --> 00:18:15.940
 He said in John,

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:16.200
 He said,

00:18:16.260 --> 00:18:17.320
 this is eternal life

00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.559
 that you may know Him

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.279
 and Jesus Christ

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:22.779
 to His Son,

00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:23.799
 that you may know God

00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.460
 and Jesus Christ.

00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:27.759
 We've been created

00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:28.839
 to have a relationship

00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:29.579
 with Christ.

00:18:30.419 --> 00:18:31.220
 To know Him

00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:32.259
 and to know His voice,

00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:32.879
 He said that,

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.679
 my sheep hear my voice

00:18:34.679 --> 00:18:35.939
 and they know me.

00:18:37.819 --> 00:18:38.579
 I would,

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:40.679
 I would just encourage you

00:18:40.679 --> 00:18:41.859
 and encourage myself,

00:18:43.099 --> 00:18:44.119
 learn to know

00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:45.119
 the voice of the Lord.

00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.619
 to hear from His Word,

00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:50.399
 to hear the Spirit within you.

00:18:52.299 --> 00:18:53.619
 As you live life,

00:18:54.159 --> 00:18:54.579
 Paul said,

00:18:54.639 --> 00:18:55.219
 whatever you do,

00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:56.079
 whether you're eating

00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:57.179
 or whether you're drinking,

00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:59.339
 do all of the glory of God.

00:18:59.439 --> 00:19:00.439
 Realize that everything

00:19:00.439 --> 00:19:01.219
 that we do

00:19:01.219 --> 00:19:03.559
 is some form of worship.

00:19:03.699 --> 00:19:05.119
 We're either worshiping ourselves

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.419
 or we're worshiping someone else

00:19:07.419 --> 00:19:08.979
 or we're worshiping God.

00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:09.399
 That we,

00:19:09.859 --> 00:19:10.979
 everything we do

00:19:10.979 --> 00:19:12.639
 is an act of worship

00:19:12.639 --> 00:19:13.599
 of some kind

00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:14.379
 to someone.

00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:15.839
 And so,

00:19:16.099 --> 00:19:16.539
 call us,

00:19:16.859 --> 00:19:18.559
 the exhortation is

00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:20.299
 to do all to the glory of God.

00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:22.019
 Your daily living,

00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:24.339
 it's not religion and life,

00:19:24.579 --> 00:19:26.259
 it's life,

00:19:26.539 --> 00:19:29.559
 is spiritual.

00:19:29.979 --> 00:19:30.679
 We are spiritual.

00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:31.279
 We are created

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:32.439
 in the image of God.

00:19:33.199 --> 00:19:33.599
 And so,

00:19:33.719 --> 00:19:35.139
 as we live life,

00:19:35.619 --> 00:19:36.519
 let us live

00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:37.419
 in a relationship

00:19:37.419 --> 00:19:38.299
 with Christ.

00:19:38.299 --> 00:19:43.700
 with the death of Christ

00:19:43.700 --> 00:19:44.619
 and came the,

00:19:45.159 --> 00:19:46.119
 or with the beginning

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:46.779
 of the church

00:19:46.779 --> 00:19:47.440
 came the,

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.440
 the coming of the Holy Spirit.

00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:50.379
 We now have God

00:19:50.379 --> 00:19:51.740
 dwelling within us.

00:19:52.879 --> 00:19:53.599
 Once again,

00:19:53.659 --> 00:19:54.299
 it's that picture

00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:55.079
 of reconciliation

00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:56.359
 where no longer

00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:57.500
 is man separated from God,

00:19:57.539 --> 00:19:59.200
 but now God dwells within us.

00:19:59.879 --> 00:20:00.339
 And so,

00:20:00.399 --> 00:20:01.259
 as we live life,

00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:01.899
 we're not left

00:20:01.899 --> 00:20:02.619
 without a helper.

00:20:02.619 --> 00:20:04.739
 That if you are a believer,

00:20:04.879 --> 00:20:06.099
 you have God

00:20:06.099 --> 00:20:07.779
 living within you.

00:20:09.059 --> 00:20:10.299
 That we're no longer

00:20:10.299 --> 00:20:12.039
 alive to ourselves,

00:20:12.159 --> 00:20:13.559
 but we're dead to ourselves

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:14.679
 and alive to Christ

00:20:14.679 --> 00:20:16.379
 as His Spirit comes in

00:20:16.379 --> 00:20:17.339
 and changes us.

00:20:18.219 --> 00:20:19.399
 Sanctification is this

00:20:19.399 --> 00:20:20.679
 process of

00:20:20.679 --> 00:20:22.679
 leaving behind,

00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:23.439
 of putting to death

00:20:23.439 --> 00:20:24.639
 the deeds of our flesh

00:20:24.639 --> 00:20:26.019
 and living according

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:26.679
 to the Spirit.

00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:27.619
 That's a process.

00:20:28.399 --> 00:20:29.119
 We've been saved,

00:20:29.199 --> 00:20:29.919
 we're being saved,

00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:31.120
 and we will be saved,

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:32.039
 we'll be glorified.

00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:33.700
 But that the Holy Spirit

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:35.100
 is working within us.

00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:36.920
 And as believers,

00:20:38.180 --> 00:20:39.019
 it says that we're

00:20:39.019 --> 00:20:40.160
 not to be drunk with wine,

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:41.380
 but be filled with the Spirit.

00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:42.720
 The idea there

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.940
 as of a ship

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:47.039
 in Paul's day

00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:48.240
 would have a sail.

00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:49.380
 And basically,

00:20:50.140 --> 00:20:51.539
 that the sail,

00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:52.920
 as it was turned

00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:54.440
 to the right way,

00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:56.100
 would be filled with the wind

00:20:56.100 --> 00:20:57.220
 and driven along.

00:20:57.860 --> 00:20:58.920
 And so this idea of

00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:00.580
 as we live the Christian life,

00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:02.460
 to metaphorically,

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:03.539
 to turn ourselves

00:21:03.539 --> 00:21:04.320
 into God

00:21:04.320 --> 00:21:06.019
 and to be driven

00:21:06.019 --> 00:21:07.200
 by the Holy Spirit.

00:21:07.800 --> 00:21:08.360
 And so it's,

00:21:08.740 --> 00:21:09.380
 it's our,

00:21:10.580 --> 00:21:11.620
 it should be our joy

00:21:11.620 --> 00:21:12.500
 and our,

00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:14.440
 our privilege as Christians

00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:15.759
 to,

00:21:15.900 --> 00:21:17.360
 to die daily to ourselves,

00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:18.660
 to take up our cross daily

00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:19.600
 and follow Christ

00:21:19.600 --> 00:21:20.860
 and to turn

00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:22.019
 into the Spirit

00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:23.259
 and the Word of God.

00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:24.800
 Let Him fill us

00:21:24.800 --> 00:21:26.420
 with His Word

00:21:26.420 --> 00:21:27.340
 and with His Spirit

00:21:27.339 --> 00:21:28.980
 as we're moved along.

00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:33.439
 Moving from that point,

00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:35.119
 this is our Christian life now

00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:35.879
 that we should be,

00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:37.619
 our place now

00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:39.059
 is to bring glory

00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:39.980
 and honor to God

00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:41.619
 that He's left us here

00:21:41.619 --> 00:21:43.399
 for a purpose

00:21:43.399 --> 00:21:44.419
 and that's to

00:21:44.419 --> 00:21:46.179
 make His name known.

00:21:47.299 --> 00:21:48.240
 Matthew 28,

00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:49.839
 18 through 20

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:50.799
 is the Great Commission.

00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:52.919
 Go into all the world

00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:53.980
 and preach the Gospel

00:21:53.980 --> 00:21:55.840
 to every living creature,

00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:57.620
 baptizing in the name

00:21:57.620 --> 00:21:58.060
 of the Father

00:21:58.060 --> 00:21:58.500
 and the Son

00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:59.200
 and the Holy Spirit,

00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:00.000
 teaching them

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:01.800
 all that I've commanded you.

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:02.240
 For lo,

00:22:02.300 --> 00:22:03.240
 I'm with you always,

00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:05.000
 even to the end of the age.

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:05.539
 And He's saying,

00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:06.960
 My Spirit will be with you.

00:22:07.019 --> 00:22:07.420
 I've given,

00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:09.340
 given you what you need

00:22:09.340 --> 00:22:10.380
 to do this.

00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:11.500
 I will be with you.

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:14.140
 And He's saying,

00:22:14.220 --> 00:22:14.940
 as you're going,

00:22:15.259 --> 00:22:17.180
 is literally how that's stated.

00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:18.460
 It's not that we,

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:19.940
 once again,

00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:20.640
 segmented,

00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:21.339
 that we segment,

00:22:21.460 --> 00:22:21.900
 we go,

00:22:22.380 --> 00:22:23.500
 I'm going to be headed overseas

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:24.900
 in a week and a half,

00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.460
 that,

00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:25.700
 oh,

00:22:25.779 --> 00:22:27.200
 I go and then I come back

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:28.000
 and life is normal.

00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:29.440
 It's as you're going,

00:22:29.779 --> 00:22:30.660
 living a life

00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:31.880
 that is

00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:34.200
 filled with the Spirit

00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:35.579
 and as you're going,

00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:36.740
 telling others about

00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:37.880
 what Christ has done

00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.279
 in your life.

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.440
 And then,

00:22:44.639 --> 00:22:46.299
 moving forward

00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:47.759
 to the end of the age,

00:22:48.379 --> 00:22:49.359
 to Revelation,

00:22:50.180 --> 00:22:52.139
 there's some amazing things

00:22:52.139 --> 00:22:53.139
 in Revelation.

00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:55.099
 Let's turn to Revelation 21.

00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:02.920
 Let's go to Revelation 22.

00:23:04.420 --> 00:23:05.599
 Then we'll go back to 21.

00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:18.119
 It says,

00:23:18.299 --> 00:23:19.680
 in verse 3,

00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:21.940
 and there will no longer

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:22.779
 be any curse.

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:24.240
 The throne of God

00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:25.660
 and of the Lamb

00:23:25.660 --> 00:23:26.559
 will be in the city

00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:27.960
 and His slaves

00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:28.680
 will serve Him.

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:30.680
 They will see His face

00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:31.899
 and His name

00:23:31.899 --> 00:23:32.680
 will be on their foreheads.

00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:40.039
 When we look at heaven,

00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.620
 the overwhelming thought

00:23:44.620 --> 00:23:46.060
 that should consume us

00:23:46.060 --> 00:23:47.600
 is that we will dwell

00:23:47.600 --> 00:23:48.960
 with God physically.

00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.779
 that's,

00:23:54.059 --> 00:23:55.779
 if you know Christ

00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:57.120
 and you love Him,

00:23:58.660 --> 00:24:00.180
 what an amazing thought

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:01.180
 that this,

00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:03.120
 that the God

00:24:03.120 --> 00:24:04.559
 who dwells in you now

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.900
 will one day dwell

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:06.779
 with us physically

00:24:06.779 --> 00:24:07.539
 in a new heaven,

00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:08.079
 a new earth

00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:08.720
 for eternity.

00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:13.120
 that should drive

00:24:13.120 --> 00:24:13.839
 our lives

00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:14.740
 as we have

00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:16.000
 this eternal focus

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:17.700
 of where we're going.

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:19.100
 But what a glorious thought

00:24:19.100 --> 00:24:19.779
 that one day

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:20.640
 we will dwell

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:21.880
 with God

00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:23.180
 in perfection

00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:23.940
 without a curse.

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:25.360
 It says the curse is gone.

00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:28.380
 And so we will return

00:24:28.380 --> 00:24:29.700
 in a way

00:24:29.700 --> 00:24:30.880
 to the Garden of Eden.

00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:32.100
 Life will be perfect.

00:24:32.220 --> 00:24:33.140
 The curse will be gone.

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.940
 The fellowship

00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:35.819
 will be there.

00:24:35.819 --> 00:24:38.899
 We will live life.

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:39.519
 It's not,

00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:40.639
 it's eternal life.

00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:41.220
 It's not

00:24:41.220 --> 00:24:42.939
 that time stops

00:24:42.939 --> 00:24:43.480
 and we don't,

00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:45.039
 it's kind of this

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.859
 floating out

00:24:45.859 --> 00:24:47.059
 in the clouds mentality.

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:48.799
 But that we'll live

00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:50.599
 with God

00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:53.079
 in human,

00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:54.379
 in our human form.

00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:56.000
 We'll have a resurrected body

00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:56.539
 but it will be

00:24:56.539 --> 00:24:57.539
 without the curse.

00:24:58.319 --> 00:24:59.419
 And sin will be gone.

00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:00.559
 What a glorious thought.

00:25:02.019 --> 00:25:03.299
 The greatest enemy

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:04.419
 that we have within it,

00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:05.740
 or is the greatest enemy

00:25:05.740 --> 00:25:06.259
 that we have

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:06.880
 is within us

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:07.680
 and it's our flesh.

00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:08.700
 Paul said,

00:25:08.779 --> 00:25:09.480
 I know that in me

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:10.599
 dwells no good thing.

00:25:12.380 --> 00:25:13.660
 He knew that his flesh

00:25:13.660 --> 00:25:14.420
 had been corrupted,

00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:15.440
 completely corrupted

00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:16.160
 by sin,

00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:17.279
 but that God

00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:18.200
 was redeeming him.

00:25:18.220 --> 00:25:18.559
 And he said,

00:25:18.620 --> 00:25:19.559
 I've died to myself

00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:20.660
 and I'm living to Christ.

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:21.980
 And he looked forward

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:22.539
 to that day.

00:25:22.620 --> 00:25:23.180
 He said at the end

00:25:23.180 --> 00:25:23.920
 of Romans 7,

00:25:24.019 --> 00:25:24.799
 O wretched man

00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:25.460
 that I am,

00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:26.920
 who will deliver me

00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:28.140
 from this body of death?

00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:29.799
 Thank God

00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:30.799
 for Christ Jesus.

00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:33.059
 When we

00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:34.460
 come into heaven,

00:25:34.460 --> 00:25:34.960
 we will have

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:35.980
 that resurrected body

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:37.019
 that will be freed

00:25:37.019 --> 00:25:38.700
 from this body of death,

00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:39.740
 this body of sin.

00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:41.340
 And so we will

00:25:41.340 --> 00:25:43.299
 be able to

00:25:43.299 --> 00:25:43.940
 once again

00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:45.200
 fully worship God

00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:46.900
 to our maximum capability

00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:48.120
 without the hindrance

00:25:48.120 --> 00:25:48.700
 of sin

00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:49.980
 and our flesh

00:25:49.980 --> 00:25:51.259
 in this world.

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:53.400
 What a glorious thought.

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:56.140
 Going back to

00:25:56.140 --> 00:25:57.620
 Revelation 21.

00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:00.039
 Did I read the,

00:26:00.100 --> 00:26:01.279
 I read the wrong passage,

00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:01.700
 didn't I?

00:26:01.700 --> 00:26:03.140
 Revelation 22.3.

00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:05.420
 No, okay.

00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:06.180
 Let's go back

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:07.299
 to Revelation 21.

00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:08.460
 It will be

00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:09.340
 1-7.

00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:10.920
 This is a,

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:12.200
 this is an image

00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:13.640
 of what the new heaven

00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:14.299
 and the new earth

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:14.779
 will be like.

00:26:14.840 --> 00:26:16.319
 Just let this,

00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:17.600
 let this come into your heart

00:26:17.600 --> 00:26:18.120
 and realize

00:26:18.120 --> 00:26:19.059
 this is where we're headed.

00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:22.039
 Then I saw

00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:22.680
 the new heaven

00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:23.440
 and the new earth

00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:24.340
 for the first heaven

00:26:24.340 --> 00:26:25.100
 and the first earth

00:26:25.100 --> 00:26:25.900
 had passed away

00:26:25.900 --> 00:26:26.900
 and the sea

00:26:26.900 --> 00:26:27.819
 no longer existed.

00:26:28.360 --> 00:26:29.059
 I also saw

00:26:29.059 --> 00:26:29.860
 the holy city,

00:26:29.980 --> 00:26:30.620
 the new Jerusalem

00:26:30.619 --> 00:26:31.319
 coming down

00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:31.939
 out of heaven

00:26:31.939 --> 00:26:34.719
 from God

00:26:34.719 --> 00:26:35.879
 prepared like a bride

00:26:35.879 --> 00:26:37.199
 adorned for a husband.

00:26:37.879 --> 00:26:38.699
 Then I heard

00:26:38.699 --> 00:26:39.619
 a loud voice

00:26:39.619 --> 00:26:40.279
 from the throne

00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:41.219
 saying,

00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:41.679
 Look!

00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:43.239
 God's dwelling

00:26:43.239 --> 00:26:44.539
 is with humanity

00:26:44.539 --> 00:26:46.039
 and He will live

00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:46.519
 with them.

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:47.619
 They will be

00:26:47.619 --> 00:26:48.279
 His people

00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:49.759
 and God Himself

00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:51.099
 will be with them

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:52.119
 and be their God.

00:26:52.699 --> 00:26:53.539
 He will wipe away

00:26:53.539 --> 00:26:54.179
 every tear

00:26:54.179 --> 00:26:55.000
 from their eyes.

00:26:55.199 --> 00:26:56.919
 Death will no longer exist.

00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:58.960
 grief,

00:26:59.360 --> 00:26:59.880
 crying,

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.740
 and pain

00:27:00.740 --> 00:27:01.940
 will exist

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:02.560
 no longer

00:27:02.560 --> 00:27:03.880
 because the previous

00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:05.120
 things have passed away.

00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:06.880
 Brothers and sisters,

00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:07.860
 that's where we're headed.

00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:09.100
 That,

00:27:09.340 --> 00:27:11.400
 that is

00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:12.759
 what God

00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:15.240
 has redeemed us to.

00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:16.620
 That is eternal life.

00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:17.460
 It says that,

00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:17.880
 well,

00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:18.560
 before,

00:27:18.820 --> 00:27:19.980
 that eternal life

00:27:19.980 --> 00:27:20.420
 is this,

00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:21.539
 that you may know Him

00:27:21.539 --> 00:27:22.900
 and Jesus Christ.

00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:23.220
 This,

00:27:23.560 --> 00:27:25.120
 this is where we're going.

00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:29.119
 that this time now

00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:30.199
 is limited.

00:27:30.419 --> 00:27:31.019
 Maybe 60,

00:27:31.139 --> 00:27:31.379
 70,

00:27:31.479 --> 00:27:32.059
 80 years

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:32.819
 for most of us.

00:27:32.879 --> 00:27:33.859
 Maybe less for some.

00:27:34.479 --> 00:27:35.239
 But that we're,

00:27:35.239 --> 00:27:36.979
 we're headed towards this.

00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:37.279
 And so,

00:27:37.439 --> 00:27:38.779
 what are we to do now

00:27:38.779 --> 00:27:40.859
 as we're moving

00:27:40.859 --> 00:27:41.899
 towards this time

00:27:41.899 --> 00:27:43.079
 of dwelling with God

00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:43.859
 for eternity?

00:27:46.179 --> 00:27:46.939
 I just,

00:27:47.139 --> 00:27:47.959
 I want to

00:27:47.959 --> 00:27:48.799
 exhort you

00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:50.539
 to live with

00:27:50.539 --> 00:27:51.559
 a heavenly focus.

00:27:53.239 --> 00:27:54.479
 Live with a mindset

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:55.779
 of knowing

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:57.000
 that we,

00:27:57.299 --> 00:27:58.220
 apart from Christ,

00:27:58.319 --> 00:27:58.880
 are dead

00:27:58.880 --> 00:27:59.960
 in our trespasses

00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:00.539
 and sins.

00:28:01.140 --> 00:28:01.940
 That our wrath,

00:28:02.019 --> 00:28:03.279
 the wrath against us

00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:03.920
 is infinite

00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:04.920
 because we have sinned

00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:06.140
 against an infinite God.

00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:08.039
 But that Christ

00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:08.779
 has come

00:28:08.779 --> 00:28:10.980
 and that He has paid

00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:12.360
 an infinite price

00:28:12.360 --> 00:28:13.720
 for our sins

00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:14.960
 so that we can now

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:16.120
 be reconciled

00:28:16.120 --> 00:28:17.059
 to Him.

00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:18.120
 That's the story

00:28:18.120 --> 00:28:18.880
 of creation.

00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:20.019
 That's the story

00:28:20.019 --> 00:28:20.599
 of redemption.

00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:22.079
 Beginning in Genesis,

00:28:22.579 --> 00:28:23.420
 just in summation,

00:28:23.420 --> 00:28:24.840
 that we began

00:28:24.840 --> 00:28:26.820
 with God

00:28:26.820 --> 00:28:27.660
 in a relationship

00:28:27.660 --> 00:28:28.120
 with Him.

00:28:28.360 --> 00:28:29.420
 That man felt

00:28:29.420 --> 00:28:30.140
 that there was now

00:28:30.140 --> 00:28:30.920
 this barrier

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:32.539
 between God and man.

00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:34.240
 That man has sinned

00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:34.960
 awfully

00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.180
 through the Old Testament

00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:38.340
 and was in need

00:28:38.340 --> 00:28:38.960
 of a Savior.

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:39.700
 But that there was

00:28:39.700 --> 00:28:40.259
 this promise

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:41.420
 that a Savior would come.

00:28:41.860 --> 00:28:43.019
 That Christ has come

00:28:43.019 --> 00:28:45.920
 and He has absorbed,

00:28:46.080 --> 00:28:46.880
 taken the wrath

00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:48.039
 of God upon Himself.

00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:49.620
 And by His wounds,

00:28:49.619 --> 00:28:51.739
 by His wounds

00:28:51.739 --> 00:28:52.439
 we are healed.

00:28:53.299 --> 00:28:53.979
 And that now

00:28:53.979 --> 00:28:54.899
 we've been given

00:28:54.899 --> 00:28:55.819
 the ministry

00:28:55.819 --> 00:28:56.759
 of reconciliation.

00:28:57.139 --> 00:28:58.219
 That we now

00:28:58.219 --> 00:28:58.599
 are to go

00:28:58.599 --> 00:28:59.459
 and tell others.

00:29:00.859 --> 00:29:01.839
 If God has changed

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.319
 your life

00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:03.699
 and His Spirit

00:29:03.699 --> 00:29:04.339
 dwells in you

00:29:04.339 --> 00:29:05.199
 and it says

00:29:05.199 --> 00:29:06.539
 that my sheep

00:29:06.539 --> 00:29:06.939
 know me

00:29:06.939 --> 00:29:08.059
 and they hear my voice

00:29:08.059 --> 00:29:09.819
 and by this

00:29:09.819 --> 00:29:11.619
 you'll know

00:29:11.619 --> 00:29:12.319
 that you love me

00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:12.859
 if you keep

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:13.479
 my commandments.

00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:16.759
 are we striving

00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:18.039
 to keep God's commandments

00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:19.660
 out of a love for Him

00:29:19.660 --> 00:29:20.299
 or are we striving

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:21.920
 to keep God's commandments

00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:23.559
 to get a love from Him?

00:29:23.860 --> 00:29:24.700
 God's love

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:25.980
 is unconditional

00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:27.000
 upon us.

00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:28.279
 He came

00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:29.680
 while we were yet sinners

00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:30.920
 Christ died for us.

00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:33.680
 It's a love

00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.279
 that we're called to

00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:37.860
 but it's not a human love.

00:29:37.940 --> 00:29:38.500
 If your goal

00:29:38.500 --> 00:29:39.299
 is to love people

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:40.259
 with a human love

00:29:40.259 --> 00:29:42.559
 people aren't very easy

00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:43.200
 to deal with.

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:44.779
 But that if you love

00:29:44.779 --> 00:29:46.299
 people with God's love

00:29:46.299 --> 00:29:47.279
 you begin to see them

00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:49.740
 not as a physical

00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:50.339
 human being

00:29:50.339 --> 00:29:51.559
 but each person

00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:52.819
 is a soul

00:29:52.819 --> 00:29:54.839
 that has worth

00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:57.220
 and that each person

00:29:57.220 --> 00:30:00.940
 is lost

00:30:00.940 --> 00:30:01.960
 in the need of a Savior

00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:03.319
 and that should

00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:04.799
 that should drive us

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:05.720
 to tell the nations

00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:07.380
 to declare

00:30:07.380 --> 00:30:09.460
 to declare His glory

00:30:09.460 --> 00:30:10.319
 among the nations

00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:11.400
 that He is worthy

00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:13.000
 of praise

00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:14.259
 and of adoration

00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:14.259


00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:15.339
 for what He's done.

00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:16.799
 And so as we see

00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:17.599
 a lost humanity

00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:18.339
 we see a world

00:30:18.339 --> 00:30:18.799
 that is

00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:22.339
 basically

00:30:22.339 --> 00:30:23.819
 insulting Christ.

00:30:24.700 --> 00:30:25.660
 What we do

00:30:25.660 --> 00:30:26.519
 is a direct

00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:28.140
 insult

00:30:28.140 --> 00:30:29.079
 against Him

00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:30.400
 and yet

00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:32.140
 Christ has forgiven us

00:30:32.140 --> 00:30:32.660
 in that.

00:30:33.259 --> 00:30:33.920
 And so my

00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:36.180
 plea

00:30:36.180 --> 00:30:37.360
 is for us

00:30:37.360 --> 00:30:37.920
 to have a

00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:38.880
 greater love

00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:39.580
 for Christ

00:30:39.580 --> 00:30:41.539
 realizing what

00:30:41.539 --> 00:30:42.300
 He's done for us

00:30:42.300 --> 00:30:43.660
 with the greatness

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:44.560
 of our sin

00:30:44.560 --> 00:30:46.460
 sinning against

00:30:46.460 --> 00:30:47.300
 the infinite God

00:30:47.300 --> 00:30:48.000
 and yet the greatness

00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:48.759
 of His love

00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:50.140
 towards us

00:30:50.140 --> 00:30:51.180
 and that should

00:30:51.180 --> 00:30:52.220
 drive us to worship

00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:52.860
 and praise

00:30:52.860 --> 00:30:53.340
 and love.

00:30:53.339 --> 00:30:56.980
 I want to

00:30:56.980 --> 00:30:58.079
 close with

00:30:58.079 --> 00:30:58.419
 kind of

00:30:58.419 --> 00:31:00.740
 an illustration.

00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:01.599
 I was in

00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:02.240
 Mexico

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:02.899
 about a year

00:31:02.899 --> 00:31:03.299
 ago

00:31:03.299 --> 00:31:05.199
 talking to a

00:31:05.199 --> 00:31:05.500
 missionary

00:31:05.500 --> 00:31:06.159
 and he said

00:31:06.159 --> 00:31:06.459
 Daniel

00:31:06.459 --> 00:31:08.439
 it was really funny

00:31:08.439 --> 00:31:08.919
 I'd asked him

00:31:08.919 --> 00:31:09.159
 I said

00:31:09.159 --> 00:31:10.259
 are we on schedule

00:31:10.259 --> 00:31:11.899
 and we were

00:31:11.899 --> 00:31:12.500
 doing some things

00:31:12.500 --> 00:31:12.879
 and some

00:31:12.879 --> 00:31:13.879
 distractions

00:31:13.879 --> 00:31:14.579
 had come up

00:31:14.579 --> 00:31:15.819
 and he said

00:31:15.819 --> 00:31:16.039
 Daniel

00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:16.559
 we're always

00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:17.199
 on schedule

00:31:17.199 --> 00:31:17.879
 and I said

00:31:17.879 --> 00:31:18.899
 what does that mean

00:31:18.899 --> 00:31:20.759
 and he said

00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:21.519
 let me explain it

00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:21.799
 to you

00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:22.159
 he said

00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:22.540
 Daniel

00:31:22.540 --> 00:31:23.840
 when you get up

00:31:23.840 --> 00:31:24.480
 every day

00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:27.160
 you have a choice

00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:27.980
 he said

00:31:27.980 --> 00:31:28.580
 let me liken it

00:31:28.580 --> 00:31:28.880
 to this

00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:29.920
 there were

00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:30.620
 three servants

00:31:30.620 --> 00:31:31.200
 in a king

00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:34.040
 and the one servant

00:31:34.040 --> 00:31:35.120
 would get up

00:31:35.120 --> 00:31:35.680
 every day

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:36.820
 and he would

00:31:36.820 --> 00:31:37.200
 go out

00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:38.600
 into the kingdom

00:31:38.600 --> 00:31:39.720
 and do whatever

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:40.180
 he wanted

00:31:40.180 --> 00:31:41.940
 he just

00:31:41.940 --> 00:31:42.380
 you know

00:31:42.380 --> 00:31:43.160
 if he wanted

00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:44.480
 to do whatever

00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:45.279
 he would do that

00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:46.560
 and do something else

00:31:46.560 --> 00:31:47.140
 he would do that

00:31:47.140 --> 00:31:47.980
 and if he did nothing

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.880
 that was fine too

00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:50.519
 he said

00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:51.340
 and that was one servant

00:31:51.340 --> 00:31:51.820
 and then there was

00:31:51.819 --> 00:31:52.519
 another servant

00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:53.980
 there was a servant

00:31:53.980 --> 00:31:55.179
 that went out

00:31:55.179 --> 00:31:55.679
 every day

00:31:55.679 --> 00:31:56.859
 and he ran around

00:31:56.859 --> 00:31:58.200
 as fast as he could

00:31:58.200 --> 00:31:59.139
 as hard as he could

00:31:59.139 --> 00:31:59.639
 and he did

00:31:59.639 --> 00:32:00.700
 everything he could

00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:01.559
 that he thought

00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:02.319
 the king wanted him

00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:02.659
 to do

00:32:02.659 --> 00:32:04.220
 and he worked

00:32:04.220 --> 00:32:04.799
 and he worked

00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:05.359
 and he worked

00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:05.980
 and he worked

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:07.379
 and the king

00:32:07.379 --> 00:32:09.339
 sat in his kingdom

00:32:09.339 --> 00:32:10.259
 and shook his head

00:32:10.259 --> 00:32:10.819
 and went

00:32:10.819 --> 00:32:11.419
 why

00:32:11.419 --> 00:32:12.439
 why

00:32:12.439 --> 00:32:12.720
 why

00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:12.980
 why

00:32:12.980 --> 00:32:13.439
 but there was

00:32:13.439 --> 00:32:14.179
 a third servant

00:32:14.179 --> 00:32:15.740
 and the third servant

00:32:15.740 --> 00:32:16.539
 would go before

00:32:16.539 --> 00:32:17.740
 his king daily

00:32:17.740 --> 00:32:18.759
 and he would

00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:19.279
 come and kneel

00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:20.000
 before his king

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:20.339
 and say

00:32:20.339 --> 00:32:20.660
 sir

00:32:20.660 --> 00:32:22.000
 say king

00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:23.359
 here I am

00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:24.259
 I love you

00:32:24.259 --> 00:32:24.799
 and I know

00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:25.779
 that you love me

00:32:25.779 --> 00:32:27.279
 what would you have

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:28.240
 for me to do today

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:29.599
 and

00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.099
 he said

00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:31.319
 Daniel

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:32.199
 that's the servant

00:32:32.199 --> 00:32:33.259
 that truly loves

00:32:33.259 --> 00:32:34.299
 his king

00:32:34.299 --> 00:32:35.500
 the other two servants

00:32:35.500 --> 00:32:36.259
 the one servant

00:32:36.259 --> 00:32:37.459
 didn't have a relationship

00:32:37.459 --> 00:32:38.099
 with the king

00:32:38.099 --> 00:32:38.480
 he was

00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:39.559
 he was all caught up

00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:40.179
 in what he thought

00:32:40.179 --> 00:32:41.000
 he needed to do

00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:41.959
 he said

00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:42.519
 and the third one

00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:43.140
 didn't care about

00:32:43.140 --> 00:32:43.519
 the king

00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:43.940
 at all

00:32:43.940 --> 00:32:45.880
 he said

00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:47.019
 Daniel be that servant

00:32:47.019 --> 00:32:47.500
 and he said

00:32:47.500 --> 00:32:48.279
 as long as you're

00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:48.900
 that servant

00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:50.299
 and you're daily

00:32:50.299 --> 00:32:51.340
 coming before the Lord

00:32:51.340 --> 00:32:52.160
 realizing that you

00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:53.140
 are not your own

00:32:53.140 --> 00:32:54.299
 that you've been

00:32:54.299 --> 00:32:55.299
 bought with a price

00:32:55.299 --> 00:32:56.460
 therefore glorify

00:32:56.460 --> 00:32:57.460
 God in your body

00:32:57.460 --> 00:32:59.059
 that each day

00:32:59.059 --> 00:32:59.900
 Romans 12

00:32:59.900 --> 00:33:00.120
 1

00:33:00.120 --> 00:33:00.880
 off your body

00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:02.299
 is a living sacrifice

00:33:02.299 --> 00:33:03.319
 holy and acceptable

00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:03.860
 to God

00:33:03.860 --> 00:33:05.039
 that's your reasonable

00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:06.000
 act of worship

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.900
 that

00:33:06.900 --> 00:33:08.460
 as

00:33:08.460 --> 00:33:10.480
 you are God's servant

00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:12.259
 his bond slave

00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:13.579
 as Paul would say

00:33:13.579 --> 00:33:14.660
 that your

00:33:14.660 --> 00:33:16.220
 that your duty

00:33:16.220 --> 00:33:16.980
 as a

00:33:16.980 --> 00:33:17.720
 Christian

00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:19.440
 is to

00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:20.819
 to come before

00:33:20.819 --> 00:33:21.599
 the Lord daily

00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:22.519
 and say

00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:23.460
 I'm not my own

00:33:23.460 --> 00:33:24.539
 I am yours

00:33:24.539 --> 00:33:25.860
 what do you have for me

00:33:25.860 --> 00:33:26.640
 and he said

00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:27.480
 Daniel as long as

00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:28.220
 we're doing that

00:33:28.220 --> 00:33:29.940
 then we're right on schedule

00:33:29.940 --> 00:33:30.700
 because we're doing

00:33:30.700 --> 00:33:32.140
 what God has called us to do

00:33:32.140 --> 00:33:33.640
 and realizing that

00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:34.000
 our

00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:35.200
 schedules

00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:36.120
 and our

00:33:36.120 --> 00:33:38.720
 routines

00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:39.799
 or what we think

00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:40.460
 God wants us to do

00:33:40.460 --> 00:33:42.640
 is often not at all

00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:43.600
 what God wants us to do

00:33:43.600 --> 00:33:44.299
 he wants us to have

00:33:44.299 --> 00:33:45.240
 ears to hear

00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:46.860
 and hearts that are

00:33:46.860 --> 00:33:47.840
 humble and listening

00:33:47.840 --> 00:33:48.319
 to the Lord

00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:49.519
 saying here I am

00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:50.900
 I've been created

00:33:50.900 --> 00:33:52.360
 to do

00:33:52.360 --> 00:33:53.880
 whatever it is

00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:55.319
 that you want me to do

00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:57.519
 and just

00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:58.700
 as a believer

00:33:58.700 --> 00:34:00.480
 when your heart

00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:01.120
 is that way

00:34:01.120 --> 00:34:02.559
 your joy

00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:03.059
 will be

00:34:03.059 --> 00:34:03.960
 immense

00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:06.059
 peace will be

00:34:06.059 --> 00:34:06.480
 immense

00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:06.860
 because

00:34:06.860 --> 00:34:08.159
 you will know

00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:09.500
 that it

00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:10.119
 it is not

00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:10.360
 you

00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:10.719
 but that

00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:10.900
 it is

00:34:10.900 --> 00:34:11.119
 God

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:11.539
 that lives

00:34:11.539 --> 00:34:11.840
 in you

00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:12.079
 that's

00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:12.440
 working

00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:12.880
 and willing

00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:13.219
 to do

00:34:13.219 --> 00:34:13.679
 his good

00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:14.059
 pleasure

00:34:14.059 --> 00:34:15.420
 there's

00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:16.320
 great joy

00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:16.760
 in that

00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:17.219
 if you

00:34:17.219 --> 00:34:18.380
 struggle

00:34:18.380 --> 00:34:19.219
 with

00:34:19.219 --> 00:34:19.599
 always

00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:20.079
 wondering

00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:20.880
 am I doing

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:21.400
 what the Lord

00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:22.219
 wants me to do

00:34:22.219 --> 00:34:23.539
 or am I in

00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:24.059
 the Lord's

00:34:24.059 --> 00:34:24.340
 will

00:34:24.340 --> 00:34:24.719
 and that

00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:27.039
 if your heart

00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:27.440
 is humble

00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:28.260
 before the Lord

00:34:28.260 --> 00:34:28.679
 and you are

00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:29.639
 broken before him

00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:30.159
 saying Lord

00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:30.960
 here I am

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.099
 use me

00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:33.440
 that's what

00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:34.440
 God's asked of us

00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:35.320
 and he will

00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:35.780
 use you

00:34:35.780 --> 00:34:36.340
 he says

00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:36.760
 that those

00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:37.860
 who call on him

00:34:37.860 --> 00:34:38.640
 he will no wise

00:34:38.640 --> 00:34:39.340
 cast out

00:34:39.340 --> 00:34:40.740
 his spirit

00:34:40.740 --> 00:34:41.599
 dwells within us

00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:42.800
 live life

00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:44.240
 in a way

00:34:44.240 --> 00:34:45.820
 of listening

00:34:45.820 --> 00:34:46.579
 to the spirit

00:34:46.579 --> 00:34:47.220
 within you

00:34:47.220 --> 00:34:48.079
 and of

00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:49.099
 listening to the

00:34:49.099 --> 00:34:49.800
 word of God

00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:50.940
 and then realize

00:34:50.940 --> 00:34:51.539
 that we have

00:34:51.539 --> 00:34:52.420
 the immense

00:34:52.420 --> 00:34:53.980
 blessing

00:34:53.980 --> 00:34:54.780
 of being able

00:34:54.780 --> 00:34:55.460
 to come boldly

00:34:55.460 --> 00:34:56.160
 before the throne

00:34:56.160 --> 00:34:56.500
 of grace

00:34:56.500 --> 00:34:57.039
 and to speak

00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:57.340
 to him

00:34:57.340 --> 00:34:58.059
 at any time

00:34:58.059 --> 00:34:59.340
 that he is

00:34:59.340 --> 00:35:00.519
 he is

00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:01.280
 there

00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:03.380
 that when we

00:35:03.380 --> 00:35:04.940
 are humble

00:35:04.940 --> 00:35:05.640
 and pure

00:35:05.640 --> 00:35:06.220
 before him

00:35:06.220 --> 00:35:07.019
 repenting of our

00:35:07.019 --> 00:35:07.280
 sin

00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:07.719
 when we

00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:09.199
 turn back

00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:10.019
 to ourselves

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:11.159
 that God

00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:11.460
 is

00:35:11.460 --> 00:35:13.440
 the path

00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:13.900
 is clear

00:35:13.900 --> 00:35:14.599
 there is no

00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:15.239
 separation

00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:15.860
 there anymore

00:35:15.860 --> 00:35:16.940
 that God

00:35:16.940 --> 00:35:17.860
 has taken

00:35:17.860 --> 00:35:18.440
 that away

00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:19.119
 and we

00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:19.820
 truly

00:35:19.820 --> 00:35:20.440
 can be

00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:21.219
 in a relationship

00:35:21.219 --> 00:35:21.719
 with him

00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:22.139
 so I would

00:35:22.139 --> 00:35:22.820
 encourage you

00:35:22.820 --> 00:35:23.800
 to

00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:24.860
 first of all

00:35:24.860 --> 00:35:25.679
 to

00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:27.099
 come before him

00:35:27.099 --> 00:35:27.440
 daily

00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:28.400
 and say

00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:29.199
 Lord here I am

00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:29.619
 what would you

00:35:29.619 --> 00:35:30.219
 have me to do

00:35:30.219 --> 00:35:30.639
 today

00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:33.820
 that that's the

00:35:33.820 --> 00:35:34.400
 heart that God

00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:35.059
 calls us to

00:35:35.059 --> 00:35:35.699
 and then second

00:35:35.699 --> 00:35:36.179
 of all

00:35:36.179 --> 00:35:37.839
 to put the

00:35:37.839 --> 00:35:39.119
 gospel on your

00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:39.519
 lips

00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:40.339
 and in your

00:35:40.339 --> 00:35:40.699
 life

00:35:40.699 --> 00:35:41.619
 to be

00:35:41.619 --> 00:35:42.619
 a

00:35:42.619 --> 00:35:44.679
 living testimony

00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:45.940
 of who God

00:35:45.940 --> 00:35:46.599
 is to those

00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:47.139
 who have never

00:35:47.139 --> 00:35:47.559
 heard

00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:50.179
 about a

00:35:50.179 --> 00:35:51.019
 I guess about a

00:35:51.019 --> 00:35:51.419
 month ago

00:35:51.419 --> 00:35:51.859
 three or four

00:35:51.859 --> 00:35:52.359
 weeks ago

00:35:52.359 --> 00:35:53.259
 I had the

00:35:53.259 --> 00:35:54.079
 opportunity to

00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:55.139
 go down to

00:35:55.139 --> 00:35:55.919
 Buford

00:35:55.919 --> 00:35:57.879
 and do some

00:35:57.879 --> 00:35:58.739
 door to door

00:35:58.739 --> 00:35:59.219
 witnessing

00:35:59.219 --> 00:36:01.299
 so I began

00:36:01.299 --> 00:36:02.119
 to tell this

00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:02.500
 lady

00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:04.819
 about how

00:36:04.819 --> 00:36:05.259
 she was

00:36:05.259 --> 00:36:07.000
 really caught

00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:07.480
 up in this

00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:08.500
 idea that

00:36:08.500 --> 00:36:09.039
 she wasn't

00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:09.599
 worthy of

00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:09.899
 God

00:36:09.899 --> 00:36:11.159
 and I said

00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:11.619
 well ma'am

00:36:11.619 --> 00:36:12.819
 here's the

00:36:12.819 --> 00:36:13.419
 gospel that

00:36:13.419 --> 00:36:13.859
 you aren't

00:36:13.859 --> 00:36:14.379
 worthy of

00:36:14.379 --> 00:36:14.639
 God

00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:15.619
 but that

00:36:15.619 --> 00:36:16.119
 God has

00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:16.599
 come

00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:17.799
 and that

00:36:17.799 --> 00:36:18.480
 he has

00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:19.000
 paid your

00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:19.419
 sin and

00:36:19.419 --> 00:36:19.719
 that you

00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:20.119
 can now

00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:20.459
 have a

00:36:20.459 --> 00:36:21.079
 relationship

00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:21.679
 with him

00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:23.199
 and know

00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:23.559
 him

00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:24.339
 and she

00:36:24.339 --> 00:36:24.739
 said I've

00:36:24.739 --> 00:36:25.879
 never heard

00:36:25.879 --> 00:36:26.439
 it that way

00:36:26.439 --> 00:36:26.759
 before

00:36:26.759 --> 00:36:27.139
 I've never

00:36:27.139 --> 00:36:27.619
 heard that

00:36:27.619 --> 00:36:28.019
 before

00:36:28.019 --> 00:36:28.400
 so I

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:28.719
 just want

00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:29.119
 to encourage

00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:29.299
 you

00:36:29.299 --> 00:36:29.940
 there are

00:36:29.940 --> 00:36:30.679
 people here

00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:31.579
 we tend

00:36:31.579 --> 00:36:31.920
 to think

00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:32.259
 that oh

00:36:32.259 --> 00:36:32.619
 they've

00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:33.039
 heard the

00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:33.500
 gospel

00:36:33.500 --> 00:36:35.139
 many people

00:36:35.139 --> 00:36:35.659
 have heard a

00:36:35.659 --> 00:36:36.159
 version of

00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:36.719
 the gospel

00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:37.539
 but it's

00:36:37.539 --> 00:36:37.920
 not the

00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:38.359
 gospel

00:36:38.359 --> 00:36:39.699
 the gospel

00:36:39.699 --> 00:36:40.179
 is not

00:36:40.179 --> 00:36:40.639
 that Jesus

00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:41.319
 is just a

00:36:41.319 --> 00:36:41.679
 savior

00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:42.940
 and that he

00:36:42.940 --> 00:36:43.539
 came and

00:36:43.539 --> 00:36:45.019
 died for our

00:36:45.019 --> 00:36:45.380
 sins so we

00:36:45.380 --> 00:36:45.799
 have a free

00:36:45.799 --> 00:36:46.319
 ticket into

00:36:46.319 --> 00:36:46.639
 heaven

00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:47.359
 he came for

00:36:47.359 --> 00:36:48.239
 so much more

00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:48.659
 than that

00:36:48.659 --> 00:36:49.400
 so that we

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:49.920
 can know

00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:50.259
 him

00:36:50.259 --> 00:36:51.139
 and in

00:36:51.139 --> 00:36:51.900
 that there's

00:36:51.900 --> 00:36:52.920
 joy and

00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:53.659
 fulfillment in

00:36:53.659 --> 00:36:53.960
 life

00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:56.719
 so just

00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:57.239
 those two

00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:57.539
 things

00:36:57.539 --> 00:36:58.820
 to live

00:36:58.820 --> 00:36:59.340
 a humble

00:36:59.340 --> 00:36:59.800
 life

00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:00.420
 before

00:37:00.420 --> 00:37:00.900
 Christ

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:01.719
 and to

00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:02.079
 live a

00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:02.420
 life

00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:03.440
 of

00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:04.340
 worship

00:37:04.340 --> 00:37:05.639
 and of

00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:06.360
 proclamation

00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:07.300
 of who

00:37:07.300 --> 00:37:07.719
 he is

00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:08.059
 and what

00:37:08.059 --> 00:37:08.579
 he's done

00:37:08.579 --> 00:37:11.579
 I had a

00:37:11.579 --> 00:37:11.860
 whole lot

00:37:11.860 --> 00:37:12.300
 more notes

00:37:12.300 --> 00:37:12.659
 than that

00:37:12.659 --> 00:37:13.159
 but that's

00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:14.279
 what came

00:37:14.279 --> 00:37:14.759
 out so

00:37:14.759 --> 00:37:15.320
 let's pray

00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:15.760
 a

00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760


00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:15.760
