00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:44.759
 Philippians chapter 1 is where we are as we continue through our series in the book of Philippians.

00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:53.200
 And we're going to read verses 27 to 30, but we're going to divide this passage into two parts.

00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:58.680
 We'll cover the first half of it today, and we will cover the second half of it next Sunday.

00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.080
 But let's begin reading, please, at Philippians chapter 1, verse 27.

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:05.840
 The Bible says,

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:17.520
 It says,

00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:47.519


00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:58.280
 Up to this point in Paul's letter to the Philippian church, he's been focusing on updating the people about his physical well-being.

00:01:58.759 --> 00:02:03.919
 He has been updating them on the ministry of the gospel, the status of it.

00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:05.799
 Is it continuing? Has it been prevented?

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:11.500
 And of course, all of this is set within the context of his imprisonment in Rome.

00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:22.740
 So in verse 27, Paul transitions away from his own circumstances, and he begins his pastoral instruction in this letter to the Philippian church.

00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.900
 Making this transition, you'll notice in verse 27, he uses the word only to open the sentence.

00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.120
 It's the first word in the English.

00:02:30.219 --> 00:02:33.080
 It's also the first word in the Greek that Paul wrote it in.

00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:44.520
 He used it at the beginning of the sentence to signify that his singular concern was that they live a life that was worthy of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:02:45.460 --> 00:02:46.820
 That's what he cared about.

00:02:47.720 --> 00:02:48.380
 So he says,

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:49.820
 I'm not sure what my future holds.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.020
 I may die.

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.020
 I think God's going to let me live.

00:02:53.260 --> 00:02:55.300
 And if he lets me live, this is why.

00:02:55.420 --> 00:02:58.500
 For your progress in the faith and for your joy in the faith.

00:02:58.700 --> 00:03:01.040
 But whether I come to you or I don't come to you.

00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:02.460
 That's what he means in verse 27.

00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:07.719
 Whether I survive and I come and get to visit you again in God's grace and God's provision.

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.100
 Or whether or not I'm executed and I never see you again.

00:03:10.320 --> 00:03:15.219
 My concern for you Philippians is that you live a life that's worthy of the gospel.

00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:27.360
 That your conversation, your manner of life, your behavior, your conduct as a believer would be fitting for the gospel that has actually come to you and saved you through the power of God.

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:32.620
 It doesn't mean that we gain the gospel, that we gain salvation by being worthy.

00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:41.780
 But that we should live a life that the gospel we have already been given, that the gospel we have already been accepted is fitting of and is deserving of.

00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:48.080
 In other words, now that you're a believer, act like one, Paul says.

00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:57.980
 Whether he was present or absent, he cared deeply that these believers would live out a practical profession of their faith.

00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.080
 He cared that they be unwavering in their faith.

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:07.120
 And that they would passionately pursue a life that stood firm on the gospel.

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:14.539
 Paul didn't believe that verse 21, the conviction of that, for to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.

00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.340
 He didn't believe that that should be exclusive to a small group of believers.

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:24.840
 But that it should be at the heart of every person that has experienced salvation.

00:04:26.420 --> 00:04:36.240
 His transition from testimony to instruction communicates that a life that is consumed with Christ is not something to be admired in spiritual leaders.

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.480
 But it's something to be experienced by every believer.

00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.300
 His example was to become their reality.

00:04:46.100 --> 00:04:52.139
 And it was time for the Philippian church to personalize this particular commitment to Christ.

00:04:53.019 --> 00:04:56.900
 There are times where we view commitment in the Christian life.

00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:00.100
 Where we view faithfulness in the Christian life.

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.460
 To the extent that Paul talks about it here.

00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:03.460
 Well, it makes sense.

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.540
 Paul was an apostle.

00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:05.360
 That's what he did.

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.960
 He was a church planner.

00:05:07.420 --> 00:05:08.040
 He was a preacher.

00:05:08.379 --> 00:05:11.000
 Of course his whole life is supposed to be consumed with Christ.

00:05:11.139 --> 00:05:12.360
 I'm just a normal guy.

00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:14.360
 I'm just a normal person.

00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:15.460
 That's not what I do for a living.

00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:17.860
 What do you mean my life has to be consumed with Christ?

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.040
 When Paul addresses this instruction, he's saying this life is not about what you do.

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.980
 This life is about who you are.

00:05:26.500 --> 00:05:28.560
 And this is not to be admired.

00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:31.960
 To live as Christ is not just to be admired in spiritual leadership.

00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:34.860
 It's supposed to be experienced by any believer.

00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:36.740
 This is to be your life as well.

00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:40.680
 And of course this instruction is echoed throughout the New Testament.

00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.340
 Paul on different occasions and in different churches wrote the same thing.

00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:46.300
 In Ephesians he wrote,

00:05:46.300 --> 00:06:02.040
 To the Thessalonians he wrote,

00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:02.960
 To the Thessalonians he wrote,

00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.379
 That you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,

00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:08.740
 being fruitful in every good work,

00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:10.660
 and increasing in the knowledge of God.

00:06:10.760 --> 00:06:12.140
 To the Thessalonians he wrote,

00:06:12.140 --> 00:06:15.960
 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you,

00:06:16.180 --> 00:06:17.700
 as a father does his children,

00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.720
 that you would walk worthy of God,

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.720
 who has called you into his kingdom and to his glory.

00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:29.060
 Paul was stressing the point that this attitude that I have is not just exclusive to leadership.

00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.560
 This is for every single believer.

00:06:31.780 --> 00:06:32.880
 And it's for you and me too.

00:06:33.940 --> 00:06:38.960
 That our lives are to be worthy of the gospel so that we could in truth stand and say,

00:06:39.340 --> 00:06:41.460
 For to me to live is Christ,

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.800
 and to die is all the gain in the world.

00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:48.460
 The word conversation here in verse 27,

00:06:48.459 --> 00:06:51.620
 This word is from the Greek word polis,

00:06:51.699 --> 00:06:54.779
 which is used to refer to a city or a city state.

00:06:55.599 --> 00:06:59.639
 Essentially Paul's referring to a particular citizenship

00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.979
 as he introduces this instruction to the Philippians.

00:07:03.719 --> 00:07:07.740
 Philippi was a very proud Roman province.

00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.120
 They had absorbed the Roman life in every way possible.

00:07:12.179 --> 00:07:14.179
 And if you study their history, you'll understand why.

00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.919
 There was a patriotism in Philippi that was unique.

00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.000
 So when Paul wrote using this word,

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.540
 they would have understood exactly what he meant.

00:07:23.020 --> 00:07:25.780
 In fact, they had gone so far in their love for Rome

00:07:25.780 --> 00:07:27.920
 and in their citizenship in Rome

00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.720
 that they had literally changed everything about their culture.

00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:32.420
 They changed the way they dressed.

00:07:32.700 --> 00:07:35.379
 They changed their names to Roman names in Philippi.

00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.720
 They adopted Latin as their primary language as opposed to Greek,

00:07:38.819 --> 00:07:40.319
 which is what it had been before.

00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.080
 They loved being Roman.

00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:47.220
 And they cared deeply about living their lives as worthy citizens of Rome.

00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:54.080
 It wasn't from a sense of submission to a tyrannical rule of government.

00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:55.000
 That's not what it was.

00:07:55.100 --> 00:08:00.720
 They actually viewed their life and their abilities and their purpose

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.100
 in light of their contribution to society.

00:08:03.780 --> 00:08:05.660
 It's quite different than how we view life today.

00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:08.420
 Today we think about ourselves.

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:10.120
 We always look out for ourselves first.

00:08:10.200 --> 00:08:12.379
 We look out for those that we love first.

00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:17.600
 In their life, everything about them was pushed toward contributing to their culture,

00:08:17.779 --> 00:08:20.379
 contributing to their city, contributing to Rome.

00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.779
 They were obsessed with being Roman.

00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:25.939
 There was an incredible patriotism there.

00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.719
 So when Paul writes this and he appeals to this mindset in the Philippian church

00:08:30.719 --> 00:08:32.399
 and in the city of Philippi,

00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:36.259
 he's appealing to them to not focus on being citizens of Rome,

00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.700
 but focus now on being worthy citizens of heaven.

00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:43.740
 In fact, in writing about this, John MacArthur said,

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:48.100
 if the citizens of Philippi were so devoted to the honor of their human kingdom,

00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:52.920
 how much more should believers be devoted to the kingdom of Christ?

00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:57.640
 And we could fill in the blank with whatever it is that we obsess our lives about.

00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:59.320
 It could be our citizenship.

00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:00.780
 It could be our hobbies.

00:09:01.040 --> 00:09:02.000
 It could be our careers.

00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:04.620
 It could be whatever it is that you have obsessed your life,

00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:07.840
 that you have assumed in your identity as a person.

00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.820
 But if that thing is not the gospel of Jesus Christ,

00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:12.980
 if it's not what Christ has done for you,

00:09:13.060 --> 00:09:16.060
 then you won't live a life that is worthy of the gospel.

00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.340
 You may live one that's worthy of an American,

00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:25.120
 but then we're reminded of what Marty read just a moment ago,

00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:26.120
 or that he's saying,

00:09:26.660 --> 00:09:30.040
 kings and kingdoms will all pass away, the word tells us.

00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:32.060
 But there's something about that name.

00:09:32.300 --> 00:09:35.540
 There will come a day where the existence that we know it as America

00:09:35.539 --> 00:09:36.719
 will not be like it is now.

00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.439
 And so obsess your life about America,

00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:41.759
 and it's not going to mean much.

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:44.219
 Obsess your life about your hobbies.

00:09:44.319 --> 00:09:46.480
 There may come a day where you can't achieve your hobbies

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.279
 the way that you want to achieve them.

00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.159
 There may come a day when you can't experience the family

00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.199
 and the friendships that you have now.

00:09:54.199 --> 00:09:59.120
 So obsess your life then about the gospel and about heaven.

00:10:00.299 --> 00:10:02.839
 His point was that their conversion to Christ

00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.220
 had translated them into the kingdom of God,

00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.500
 and it was necessary for them

00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:10.440
 to live as worthy citizens of that kingdom.

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:14.800
 He wasn't condemning their desire to be good citizens of Rome,

00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:18.639
 but he was stating that their first concern

00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.240
 should be living as good citizens of heaven.

00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:24.379
 Paul was concerned

00:10:24.379 --> 00:10:27.220
 that when their commitment to the gospel

00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:29.259
 was opposed by the Roman culture,

00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:32.580
 that they would stand firm on their faith

00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:36.600
 and live worthy of the gospel that had saved them.

00:10:37.899 --> 00:10:40.620
 The temptation for the Philippians

00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:43.019
 and the temptation that we will face as well

00:10:43.019 --> 00:10:46.799
 would be to soften our stand on the gospel

00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.819
 in order to accommodate or capitulate to

00:10:50.819 --> 00:10:53.720
 the philosophies of the culture around us.

00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:58.680
 It was okay for them to want to be Roman,

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:02.180
 but there was going to come a point in their life

00:11:02.180 --> 00:11:03.399
 where their Roman-ness

00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.420
 was not going to match up very well with the gospel.

00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.180
 And when they were confronted by that culture,

00:11:10.980 --> 00:11:12.840
 the culture that opposed the gospel,

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.580
 the culture that opposed what Christ was,

00:11:15.800 --> 00:11:17.720
 the culture that opposed what they stood for,

00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:19.620
 the culture that opposed the righteousness

00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:20.820
 that they were trying to live out,

00:11:20.980 --> 00:11:22.139
 what would they do?

00:11:22.139 --> 00:11:26.840
 Would they find a way to accommodate the culture

00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.860
 or would they stand firm on the gospel?

00:11:30.379 --> 00:11:32.379
 Would they find a way to capitulate

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:36.159
 to the ever-changing whims of society

00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.740
 or would they stand firm on the gospel?

00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:41.899
 And it's the same struggle that we're going to have too.

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:44.960
 When you stand for the gospel,

00:11:45.100 --> 00:11:46.519
 eventually you're going to face opposition

00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:47.399
 and that was the point.

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.759
 He's encouraging them to move forward,

00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:50.600
 to strive together,

00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.320
 to focus in on the gospel,

00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:53.580
 but it's underneath the reality

00:11:53.580 --> 00:11:55.019
 that when you do that,

00:11:55.659 --> 00:11:59.460
 your un-Roman-ness is going to face opposition.

00:11:59.800 --> 00:12:01.120
 People are going to hate you for it.

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:04.259
 They're going to hate what you stand for.

00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:06.980
 They're going to try to intimidate you.

00:12:07.980 --> 00:12:09.360
 And when that happens,

00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:11.240
 are you going to stand firm?

00:12:12.040 --> 00:12:14.040
 Is your life truly in that moment

00:12:14.040 --> 00:12:15.680
 going to be about Christ

00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:17.159
 and wrapped up in the gospel?

00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.359
 Or will you soften and cower?

00:12:21.319 --> 00:12:23.839
 And so that becomes the point of his instruction.

00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:26.599
 Of course, the nature of the gospel

00:12:26.599 --> 00:12:29.659
 should tell us what this,

00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:32.359
 how this life should be lived out.

00:12:33.739 --> 00:12:34.799
 The truth is,

00:12:34.859 --> 00:12:36.059
 the gospel-worthy life

00:12:36.059 --> 00:12:37.859
 that Paul expresses in these verses

00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:40.600
 seems to be largely absent

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.340
 in the church today.

00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:47.159
 People whose perspective of life

00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:48.480
 is completely wrapped up

00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.720
 in being a citizen of the kingdom of God

00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:51.899
 are rare.

00:12:53.419 --> 00:12:55.200
 And the very nature of what the gospel

00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.340
 has done for us

00:12:56.340 --> 00:12:58.600
 communicates what we should be,

00:12:58.700 --> 00:13:00.460
 but it also shows us and reveals

00:13:00.460 --> 00:13:02.800
 how we fall short so often.

00:13:03.800 --> 00:13:05.460
 Think about what the gospel is.

00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:07.740
 The gospel we believe

00:13:07.740 --> 00:13:09.420
 is a gospel of forgiveness.

00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:14.340
 The only thing that we bring to salvation

00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:15.220
 is brokenness.

00:13:15.300 --> 00:13:17.320
 The only thing we bring to salvation is sin.

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.040
 The only thing we bring to salvation

00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:19.900
 is rebellion.

00:13:20.180 --> 00:13:21.720
 Yet when we trust Christ,

00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.120
 he provides forgiveness

00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.200
 that supersedes any sin you've ever committed.

00:13:25.900 --> 00:13:27.180
 It doesn't matter how bad it is.

00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:29.139
 It doesn't matter how much you've done it.

00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:30.600
 It doesn't matter even how much

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:32.139
 you've rejected him in the past.

00:13:32.139 --> 00:13:33.440
 When you come to Christ

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.360
 and you cast yourself on him alone,

00:13:35.460 --> 00:13:36.860
 and you make him your Lord,

00:13:37.060 --> 00:13:39.500
 he forgives every sin you've committed.

00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:41.940
 He forgives every rejection

00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:44.780
 that you have perpetuated in your life.

00:13:44.920 --> 00:13:47.560
 He conquers all unbelief in your heart.

00:13:47.740 --> 00:13:48.960
 It's a gospel of forgiveness.

00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:51.000
 But if the gospel is a gospel of forgiveness,

00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:53.540
 why do so many Christians refuse to forgive?

00:13:55.740 --> 00:13:58.700
 Why don't our lives match up

00:13:58.700 --> 00:14:01.040
 with what the gospel has actually done for us?

00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:04.539
 The gospel we believe is a gospel of repentance.

00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.879
 Naturally, if sin is what separates us from God

00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:10.799
 and it's Christ that had to come

00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:12.360
 and pay the penalty for that sin

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.459
 in order for us to be reconciled back to God,

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.059
 obviously that means in order to trust Christ in faith,

00:14:18.179 --> 00:14:19.879
 we gotta turn away from everything else.

00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.120
 That if sin is what separates us,

00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.419
 sin must be repented of in our lives.

00:14:24.419 --> 00:14:26.139
 If gospel is a gospel of repentance,

00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:31.159
 yet so many Christians continue to live in willful sin,

00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.599
 or at least to affirm

00:14:33.599 --> 00:14:37.519
 that it's okay for others to live in sin.

00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:46.259
 When we take a stand on righteous living

00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:49.100
 and the culture opposes that,

00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.019
 what will you do?

00:14:55.019 --> 00:14:58.519
 Will you find a loophole somewhere in your understanding

00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.259
 that would allow you to live the way that you wanna live?

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:06.299
 Or maybe you don't jump that far into it yourself,

00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.860
 but are you willing to accommodate

00:15:08.860 --> 00:15:13.259
 and affirm sinful behavior in somebody else's life?

00:15:13.299 --> 00:15:15.460
 Because just some of those things in the Bible,

00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:16.659
 I'm not necessarily comfortable with them,

00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:17.500
 but some of those things in the Bible,

00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:20.419
 maybe they're a little irrelevant to us today.

00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:21.659
 It was a different time now.

00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.059
 It was 2,000 years ago.

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.439
 But God's word is unchanging.

00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.639
 The gospel is a gospel of repentance,

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:29.939
 and we must stand firm on that.

00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:33.019
 It's a gospel of love.

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.620
 So many Christians involve themselves

00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:40.179
 in needless division, hatefulness.

00:15:42.779 --> 00:15:44.539
 It's a gospel of life.

00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.860
 So many churches feel like death.

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:51.659
 We're supposed to be preaching

00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:54.100
 that what Christ does for us is provide joy

00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:56.939
 in the midst of heartache and suffering and difficulty.

00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.580
 Yet we may ask a friend to come to our service

00:15:59.580 --> 00:16:01.200
 and we can't sing.

00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:02.919
 We don't want a fellowship.

00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:04.439
 We're quiet.

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.480
 We preach a gospel of life,

00:16:07.539 --> 00:16:10.240
 yet what we portray is deathly.

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:13.179
 It's a gospel of faith,

00:16:13.259 --> 00:16:15.980
 yet we often live in a state of doubt.

00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.039
 It's a gospel of freedom,

00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:23.580
 yet we often try to bind others afterwards by law,

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:25.240
 sort of a bait and switch.

00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:27.340
 Come to Christ.

00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:28.980
 You don't have to do anything for it.

00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:30.840
 He'll provide salvation for free.

00:16:31.300 --> 00:16:33.759
 They believe that God will provide salvation for free,

00:16:33.820 --> 00:16:35.180
 and then you insinuate on the back end,

00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:36.460
 now you got to do all of these things.

00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:37.300
 If you don't do all these things,

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:38.899
 maybe you didn't really get it to begin with.

00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:40.860
 So this gospel of freedom

00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:42.600
 no longer is a gospel of freedom

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.860
 once you're inside the church.

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:45.220
 Then it's a gospel of law.

00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:47.700
 It's a gospel of community,

00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:50.899
 yet so many Christians neglect the fellowship of the church.

00:16:50.899 --> 00:16:51.799
 The point is this.

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.199
 The call of salvation

00:16:53.199 --> 00:16:56.220
 is a call to a radically different life

00:16:56.220 --> 00:16:59.539
 that's focused on Christ and his truth.

00:17:00.699 --> 00:17:03.399
 We're to live a life that's worthy of that gospel,

00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:07.299
 even when it inevitably leads to suffering,

00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:08.759
 as was Paul's point here.

00:17:10.259 --> 00:17:11.960
 In fact, the whole theme of these verses

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:14.700
 is on how we should willingly and joyfully

00:17:14.700 --> 00:17:17.059
 endure suffering for our faith.

00:17:17.059 --> 00:17:19.159
 And what we'll study this morning

00:17:19.159 --> 00:17:20.119
 is three quick points

00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:21.859
 that will be much shorter than that introduction.

00:17:23.159 --> 00:17:25.980
 Three demonstrations that Paul gives

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:28.119
 for the gospel-worthy life.

00:17:28.919 --> 00:17:31.940
 He says, whether I come to you or else I am absent,

00:17:32.139 --> 00:17:33.319
 I may hear of you,

00:17:33.460 --> 00:17:34.980
 and this is what I wanna hear.

00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:37.000
 If you're gonna live the gospel-worthy life,

00:17:37.179 --> 00:17:39.579
 this is what will be evident for you,

00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:41.399
 especially as you face persecution.

00:17:41.399 --> 00:17:42.440
 The first thing he says

00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:45.299
 is that there would be a commitment to sound doctrine,

00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:48.879
 a commitment to sound doctrine.

00:17:49.399 --> 00:17:50.779
 Look with me again at verse 27.

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:52.720
 Only let your manner of life

00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:54.419
 be worthy of the gospel of Christ,

00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.240
 that whether I come and see you or else be absent,

00:17:57.419 --> 00:17:58.519
 I may hear of your affairs,

00:17:58.619 --> 00:18:02.000
 that you stand fast in one's spirit.

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:04.919
 You stand fast in one's spirit.

00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:06.839
 Standing fast or standing firm

00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:08.740
 was a term used to picture a soldier

00:18:08.740 --> 00:18:10.980
 holding his position at all costs,

00:18:11.019 --> 00:18:12.240
 even to the point of death.

00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:16.339
 Obviously, that context and that illustration,

00:18:16.539 --> 00:18:17.680
 that word picture would be

00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:21.140
 that the soldier would be under assault for some reason.

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.779
 And in that assault, he wouldn't retreat,

00:18:23.900 --> 00:18:25.940
 he wouldn't cower, he would stand firm.

00:18:26.019 --> 00:18:27.039
 He would be on the defensive,

00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:29.140
 but he would stand firm on that defensive.

00:18:29.299 --> 00:18:30.299
 And Paul writes and he says,

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:31.599
 the gospel-worthy life,

00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:33.059
 when faced with opposition,

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:35.160
 when faced with an assault from the enemy,

00:18:35.259 --> 00:18:37.140
 when faced with an assault from the culture,

00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:39.339
 the gospel-worthy life stands firm.

00:18:39.339 --> 00:18:41.259
 It stands firm on the defensive.

00:18:42.059 --> 00:18:45.339
 And what it's standing firm on is sound doctrine.

00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:49.539
 And this statement is the reality

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:52.379
 that what we believe will be opposed,

00:18:52.779 --> 00:18:54.339
 and it must be defended.

00:18:55.399 --> 00:18:56.459
 It must stand firm.

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:59.119
 The culture in which we live

00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.220
 claims that there is no such thing as truth.

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:04.119
 At the very least,

00:19:04.159 --> 00:19:07.119
 it claims that truth is a personal relative matter,

00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:10.519
 and that any insinuation of absolute truth

00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.819
 is foolish and outdated

00:19:11.819 --> 00:19:13.759
 and even hateful, we're told now.

00:19:15.679 --> 00:19:17.219
 Believers recognize, though,

00:19:17.979 --> 00:19:21.119
 that the scriptures are the ultimate source of truth,

00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.439
 and that the gospel of Jesus Christ

00:19:23.439 --> 00:19:25.379
 is the only means by which a person

00:19:25.379 --> 00:19:28.479
 can know God and be given eternal life.

00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:30.259
 At some point,

00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:32.599
 no matter how much you love the culture around you,

00:19:32.739 --> 00:19:33.699
 at some point,

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:34.839
 there's gonna be a conflict

00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:37.559
 between the way that the culture says life is supposed to be

00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.139
 and the way that the scripture says life is supposed to be.

00:19:41.199 --> 00:19:42.299
 When a believer in the gospel

00:19:42.299 --> 00:19:43.619
 is confronted by a culture

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:45.419
 that vehemently denies the gospel,

00:19:46.179 --> 00:19:47.779
 it's absolutely necessary

00:19:47.779 --> 00:19:51.000
 that Christians stand firm on sound doctrine.

00:19:51.879 --> 00:19:53.579
 That's what Paul's getting across.

00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.679
 This gospel-worthy life stands firm

00:19:56.679 --> 00:19:58.179
 on the scriptures.

00:19:58.180 --> 00:20:01.200
 Not only do we stand firm

00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:03.160
 in light of the culture that's around us,

00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:05.460
 but there is a danger today

00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:08.220
 of Christians that aren't even standing firm

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:10.519
 on sound doctrine within the church.

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.460
 We must remain constant on the fact

00:20:14.460 --> 00:20:18.460
 that there is only one interpretation of scripture,

00:20:19.299 --> 00:20:20.380
 and that scripture,

00:20:20.560 --> 00:20:21.380
 that interpretation,

00:20:21.600 --> 00:20:22.920
 must not be manipulated

00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.940
 to suit the ever-changing whims of our culture.

00:20:27.300 --> 00:20:29.160
 It's one thing to stand firm

00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.820
 against the vehement deniers of the gospel.

00:20:32.500 --> 00:20:34.440
 It's another thing that within the church

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:35.400
 and within Christianity

00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:36.560
 that you stand firm

00:20:36.560 --> 00:20:38.380
 on the truth of the Bible in general.

00:20:39.320 --> 00:20:40.700
 That we don't look at the culture

00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:42.360
 and look at all the secondary doctrines

00:20:42.360 --> 00:20:43.140
 maybe in the Bible

00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:44.920
 and change our mindset

00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:46.960
 of what the Bible means

00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.120
 and how God intended it

00:20:48.120 --> 00:20:50.019
 based on how our preferences

00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:51.620
 and our culture has changed.

00:20:51.619 --> 00:20:53.319
 But even within the church,

00:20:53.399 --> 00:20:55.039
 we stand firm on the truth of the Bible.

00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:57.619
 St. Augustine said,

00:20:57.739 --> 00:20:59.379
 if you believe what you like in the gospel

00:20:59.379 --> 00:21:01.419
 and reject what you don't like,

00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:03.559
 it's not the gospel that you believe,

00:21:03.719 --> 00:21:04.779
 but yourself.

00:21:05.639 --> 00:21:06.619
 And that's very true.

00:21:07.439 --> 00:21:08.199
 Not only does he say

00:21:08.199 --> 00:21:09.919
 we're to be committed to sound doctrine,

00:21:10.219 --> 00:21:13.639
 he also says we are to experience unity

00:21:13.639 --> 00:21:15.359
 in proclaiming the gospel.

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:18.459
 Unity in proclaiming the gospel.

00:21:18.959 --> 00:21:20.039
 Look again at verse 27.

00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:21.759
 Only let your conversation be

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.359
 as it becometh the gospel of Christ,

00:21:23.879 --> 00:21:25.220
 that whether I come and see you

00:21:25.220 --> 00:21:26.099
 or else be absent,

00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:27.839
 I may hear of your affairs

00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:29.519
 that you stand fast in one spirit

00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.319
 with one mind striving together

00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.500
 for the faith of the gospel.

00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:38.799
 Standing firm pictures a defensive posture.

00:21:39.700 --> 00:21:41.519
 It's we're facing assault from the enemy,

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:43.379
 we're facing assault from sin,

00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.420
 we're facing assault from unsound doctrine,

00:21:46.420 --> 00:21:47.900
 and we stand firm on that.

00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:49.420
 Striving together,

00:21:49.600 --> 00:21:51.060
 this unity in proclaiming the gospel

00:21:51.060 --> 00:21:52.580
 is the posture of offensive,

00:21:53.140 --> 00:21:54.200
 of an offensive nature.

00:21:54.840 --> 00:21:57.039
 So as we confront this culture around us,

00:21:57.080 --> 00:21:59.200
 it's not just that we defend our doctrine,

00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:01.340
 but we go on the offensive

00:22:01.340 --> 00:22:02.960
 in proclaiming the gospel,

00:22:03.140 --> 00:22:05.400
 the only thing that can actually benefit

00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:07.440
 the world around us.

00:22:07.800 --> 00:22:09.539
 We live a gospel-worthy life

00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:10.680
 when in solidarity,

00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:12.560
 we contend side by side

00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:13.940
 with other believers

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:15.139
 for the faith of the gospel.

00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:17.099
 Unity then becomes

00:22:17.099 --> 00:22:18.419
 one of the dominant themes

00:22:18.419 --> 00:22:19.599
 of this particular book.

00:22:20.259 --> 00:22:21.440
 He's already mentioned unity,

00:22:21.579 --> 00:22:22.379
 he's mentioned partnership

00:22:22.379 --> 00:22:23.899
 in the gospel in the first chapter.

00:22:24.139 --> 00:22:25.740
 He's gonna go on in the next passage

00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:27.279
 and in chapter two

00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:29.240
 to talk about the necessity

00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.500
 for unity and for humility

00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:33.079
 as they look to one another

00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:34.460
 to engage in gospel work.

00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:35.339
 He's gonna call out

00:22:35.339 --> 00:22:36.779
 a specific group of ladies

00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:37.659
 in chapter four

00:22:37.659 --> 00:22:38.879
 that for some reason

00:22:38.879 --> 00:22:39.819
 had some contention.

00:22:39.899 --> 00:22:40.659
 He's gonna call them out

00:22:40.660 --> 00:22:41.800
 specifically in verse two

00:22:41.800 --> 00:22:42.840
 of chapter four

00:22:42.840 --> 00:22:44.240
 that they'd be of the same mind

00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:44.680
 in the Lord.

00:22:45.060 --> 00:22:46.060
 Unity in the gospel

00:22:46.060 --> 00:22:47.340
 is absolutely necessary

00:22:47.340 --> 00:22:48.860
 for us to go on the offensive

00:22:48.860 --> 00:22:52.180
 in this gospel-forsaken world.

00:22:53.060 --> 00:22:54.440
 And that's where we get our mission.

00:22:55.560 --> 00:22:57.140
 It's not just to defend,

00:22:57.779 --> 00:22:59.100
 it's to push forward.

00:22:59.740 --> 00:23:01.519
 The term comes from an athletic term

00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:03.240
 that pictures a team of people

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:04.420
 standing shoulder to shoulder,

00:23:04.820 --> 00:23:06.160
 leaning into the opposition,

00:23:06.360 --> 00:23:07.040
 leaning in.

00:23:07.100 --> 00:23:08.259
 It's not just defending against,

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:09.540
 it's leaning in.

00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:12.420
 I think most of us would say,

00:23:12.580 --> 00:23:14.380
 and I'm gonna put myself in this boat,

00:23:14.620 --> 00:23:15.940
 most of us would stand firm.

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:17.080
 If somebody were to confront us

00:23:17.080 --> 00:23:18.680
 with some type of unsound doctrine,

00:23:18.860 --> 00:23:19.700
 we would stand firm

00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:20.600
 on what our belief is.

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:21.640
 But how many of us

00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:22.980
 without even being confronted

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:24.660
 are actually pushing forward

00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:26.420
 in an offensive with the gospel

00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:28.000
 to actually tell people

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.180
 that their sin will damn them to hell

00:23:30.180 --> 00:23:31.640
 and that their only hope

00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:32.460
 that they have

00:23:32.460 --> 00:23:33.820
 is that if they trust

00:23:33.820 --> 00:23:35.180
 the gospel of Jesus Christ,

00:23:35.340 --> 00:23:37.080
 that if they make Christ their Lord

00:23:37.080 --> 00:23:38.800
 and turn away from their sinfulness,

00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:40.200
 that's the only means

00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:41.799
 by which they can truly know God

00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:43.159
 and have eternal life.

00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:45.319
 It's one thing to defend.

00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:46.200
 It's another thing

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.159
 to go on the offensive.

00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:53.039
 The church is weakened

00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.619
 when believers lose focus

00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:57.099
 of their singular purpose

00:23:57.099 --> 00:23:58.059
 as the church,

00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:00.480
 which is the faithful proclamation

00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:01.259
 of the gospel.

00:24:01.919 --> 00:24:02.919
 That's our mission.

00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:03.839
 That's what we do.

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:05.980
 That's what we're supposed to do,

00:24:05.980 --> 00:24:07.500
 not just by the preacher

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:08.360
 on a Sunday morning,

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.180
 but every day.

00:24:10.099 --> 00:24:11.059
 Proclaim the gospel.

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:12.519
 The good news

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.000
 is what the word means.

00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:15.640
 We do that with joy,

00:24:16.140 --> 00:24:19.299
 but we do it together as well.

00:24:20.339 --> 00:24:21.759
 We splinter often.

00:24:22.339 --> 00:24:23.099
 Not us,

00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:24.140
 but the church in general.

00:24:24.620 --> 00:24:25.500
 Splinters often

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:26.980
 because we lose focus

00:24:26.980 --> 00:24:27.880
 of that purpose.

00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:29.200
 The truth is

00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:30.220
 we have no other strings

00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:30.799
 to our bow.

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.419
 We're often tempted

00:24:34.419 --> 00:24:35.240
 to take a stand

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:36.339
 on anything and everything

00:24:36.339 --> 00:24:37.579
 except the gospel.

00:24:40.940 --> 00:24:43.079
 We litter our social media feeds

00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:44.940
 with every possible opinion

00:24:44.940 --> 00:24:46.659
 about politics

00:24:46.659 --> 00:24:48.180
 and sports

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:49.559
 and entertainment.

00:24:51.059 --> 00:24:52.379
 Yet how often

00:24:52.379 --> 00:24:53.779
 do we go on the offensive

00:24:53.779 --> 00:24:56.180
 and proclaim the gospel?

00:24:56.180 --> 00:24:59.500
 We sit at work

00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:00.340
 day by day

00:25:00.340 --> 00:25:01.240
 and we'll have

00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:02.420
 a hundred conversations

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:03.620
 with the person

00:25:03.620 --> 00:25:04.680
 that sits in the cubicle

00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:05.500
 next to us.

00:25:06.340 --> 00:25:07.720
 We'll have a hundred conversations

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:08.500
 about anything

00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:09.060
 and everything

00:25:09.060 --> 00:25:09.940
 we can think of.

00:25:10.560 --> 00:25:11.880
 But how many of us

00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:12.860
 have locked arms

00:25:12.860 --> 00:25:13.460
 with the church

00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:15.000
 and gone on the offensive

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:17.420
 to proclaim the gospel

00:25:17.420 --> 00:25:18.160
 to those people?

00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:21.200
 The gospel is the only thing

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:22.140
 that can help them.

00:25:22.140 --> 00:25:25.340
 And we've been commanded

00:25:25.340 --> 00:25:26.960
 to share it.

00:25:28.060 --> 00:25:28.820
 So not only does

00:25:28.820 --> 00:25:30.040
 the gospel-worthy life

00:25:30.040 --> 00:25:31.000
 stand firm

00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:31.960
 on truth,

00:25:32.320 --> 00:25:33.759
 but it unites

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:34.380
 with the mission

00:25:34.380 --> 00:25:35.080
 of the church

00:25:35.080 --> 00:25:36.980
 and goes on the offensive

00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:38.600
 to share the gospel.

00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:40.440
 Then finally,

00:25:40.580 --> 00:25:42.200
 we see faithfulness

00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:43.360
 in the face of opposition.

00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:44.800
 Faithfulness

00:25:44.800 --> 00:25:45.560
 in the face

00:25:45.560 --> 00:25:46.800
 of opposition.

00:25:47.540 --> 00:25:48.220
 Look at the beginning

00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:48.960
 of verse 28

00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:50.040
 and this is where we'll stop.

00:25:50.039 --> 00:25:53.559
 And in nothing terrified

00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:55.440
 by your adversaries.

00:25:56.639 --> 00:25:58.240
 This really is the end

00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.259
 of this particular series

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:01.180
 that Paul's writing.

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:01.980
 The punctuation

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:02.839
 that's given to us

00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:03.920
 in the church Bibles

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:05.000
 is a little bit confusing.

00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:06.460
 If you've got a scripture journal,

00:26:06.500 --> 00:26:07.319
 it actually ends there

00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:08.599
 with a period.

00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.519
 It's the end of the sentence

00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:10.680
 and then the next part

00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:11.220
 of that phrase

00:26:11.220 --> 00:26:12.379
 picks up as a new sentence

00:26:12.379 --> 00:26:13.639
 which begins,

00:26:14.159 --> 00:26:14.980
 this is to them

00:26:14.980 --> 00:26:16.000
 an evident sign

00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:17.460
 of destruction

00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:19.420
 and of salvation

00:26:19.420 --> 00:26:19.900
 for you

00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:20.680
 and that from God.

00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:22.400
 So when we look

00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:23.120
 at the construction

00:26:23.120 --> 00:26:24.100
 of this the way

00:26:24.100 --> 00:26:24.660
 that I believe

00:26:24.660 --> 00:26:25.539
 Paul intended it

00:26:25.539 --> 00:26:26.120
 to be written,

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:28.100
 we see that this third thing

00:26:28.100 --> 00:26:28.960
 in verse 28

00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:30.100
 is actually the end

00:26:30.100 --> 00:26:30.700
 of a series.

00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:32.920
 That in this demonstration

00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:33.779
 of the gospel,

00:26:33.940 --> 00:26:34.640
 this demonstration

00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:35.720
 of the gospel-worthy life,

00:26:35.779 --> 00:26:36.500
 we stand firm,

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:37.779
 we unite in proclaiming

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:38.140
 the gospel,

00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:39.059
 striving together

00:26:39.059 --> 00:26:39.559
 for the faith

00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:40.100
 of the gospel.

00:26:40.360 --> 00:26:41.740
 And then he tacks on here,

00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:43.519
 not being fearful

00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:45.539
 of any of your opponents

00:26:45.539 --> 00:26:46.759
 in anything.

00:26:47.899 --> 00:26:48.960
 What's translated here

00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:49.859
 as terrified

00:26:49.859 --> 00:26:51.399
 is an equestrian term.

00:26:52.059 --> 00:26:53.700
 Speaks of a startled horse

00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:55.440
 suddenly bolts

00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:56.399
 and bucks his rider.

00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:57.399
 It gives the idea

00:26:57.399 --> 00:26:58.359
 of being skittish

00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:00.259
 or constantly on edge.

00:27:01.700 --> 00:27:02.879
 And Paul wasn't downplaying

00:27:02.879 --> 00:27:04.159
 the reality of fear

00:27:04.159 --> 00:27:04.899
 when coming up

00:27:04.899 --> 00:27:06.180
 against physical harm.

00:27:07.180 --> 00:27:08.399
 He wasn't denying that

00:27:08.399 --> 00:27:09.420
 or downplaying that.

00:27:10.019 --> 00:27:11.279
 This was an instruction

00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:12.440
 not to panic

00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:14.759
 or live in paranoia

00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:15.460
 to the point

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:16.339
 that it would actually

00:27:16.339 --> 00:27:17.279
 prevent you

00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:19.279
 from standing firm

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:21.200
 in proclaiming the gospel.

00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:25.980
 It was meant

00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:26.920
 to be a reminder

00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:27.519
 to them

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:29.019
 that as citizens

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:30.200
 of the kingdom of God,

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:31.339
 their king

00:27:31.339 --> 00:27:32.640
 was in control.

00:27:34.660 --> 00:27:35.839
 That as they have

00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:36.900
 believed the gospel,

00:27:37.339 --> 00:27:38.539
 as they have been

00:27:38.539 --> 00:27:40.039
 translated into this

00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:40.879
 kingdom of God,

00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:42.379
 their primary citizenship

00:27:42.379 --> 00:27:43.180
 is now heaven

00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:44.060
 and their king

00:27:44.060 --> 00:27:44.960
 rules it all.

00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:47.320
 And they can trust

00:27:47.320 --> 00:27:48.000
 his purpose

00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:49.460
 and they can trust

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:50.000
 his plan.

00:27:50.940 --> 00:27:52.039
 Now that plan

00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:53.019
 is probably going

00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:53.420
 to include

00:27:53.420 --> 00:27:54.160
 some persecution

00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:54.900
 in some form

00:27:54.900 --> 00:27:55.220
 or another.

00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:55.860
 For them,

00:27:55.900 --> 00:27:56.320
 it was going to

00:27:56.320 --> 00:27:57.000
 actually include

00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:57.600
 martyrdom.

00:27:58.779 --> 00:27:59.539
 That may not be

00:27:59.539 --> 00:28:00.299
 the case for us,

00:28:00.340 --> 00:28:01.380
 especially to that extent,

00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:02.240
 but there's going

00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:03.019
 to be opposition.

00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:04.000
 There's going

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:04.620
 to be difficulty

00:28:04.620 --> 00:28:05.960
 and we all know that.

00:28:06.500 --> 00:28:07.799
 We're not foolish to it.

00:28:08.860 --> 00:28:09.500
 Can I be honest

00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:10.000
 and tell you

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.779
 that this is where

00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:11.639
 I am the weakest

00:28:11.639 --> 00:28:12.299
 personally.

00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:15.299
 It's one thing

00:28:15.299 --> 00:28:16.039
 for me to stand

00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:16.960
 firm on the gospel.

00:28:17.579 --> 00:28:18.240
 I can do that.

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:19.259
 I enjoy theology.

00:28:19.399 --> 00:28:19.879
 I enjoy studying

00:28:19.879 --> 00:28:20.220
 the Bible.

00:28:20.339 --> 00:28:20.680
 I enjoy having

00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:21.839
 conversations about that.

00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:23.759
 I'm full of opinions.

00:28:24.379 --> 00:28:25.139
 Just ask Julie.

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:27.839
 It's one thing

00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:28.819
 for me to proclaim

00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:29.299
 the gospel.

00:28:29.420 --> 00:28:30.119
 It's kind of my job.

00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:30.740
 I get to do that

00:28:30.740 --> 00:28:31.259
 every Sunday.

00:28:31.379 --> 00:28:32.119
 I get to stand up here

00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:33.000
 and preach the word.

00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:35.799
 Where I personally

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:36.319
 struggle

00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.000
 is living in a

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:38.759
 constant state

00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:39.500
 of fear

00:28:39.500 --> 00:28:41.099
 for actually

00:28:41.099 --> 00:28:42.099
 doing those things.

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:44.759
 I can build up

00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:45.200
 a confidence

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.799
 to come into

00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:46.859
 a church worship

00:28:46.859 --> 00:28:47.440
 service because

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:48.279
 everybody expects

00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:48.579
 if they're going

00:28:48.579 --> 00:28:49.140
 to come to church,

00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:49.900
 they expect to be

00:28:49.900 --> 00:28:50.400
 preached to.

00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:51.920
 There's nothing

00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:52.539
 really to be scared

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:53.019
 of with that.

00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:55.640
 It's another thing

00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:56.460
 for me to walk over

00:28:56.460 --> 00:28:57.119
 to my next door

00:28:57.119 --> 00:28:57.400
 neighbor,

00:28:57.539 --> 00:28:57.920
 Karina,

00:28:58.519 --> 00:28:59.619
 and actually tell her,

00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:00.059
 you know what?

00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:01.119
 I'm actually a pastor

00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:02.339
 and I'd love to

00:29:02.339 --> 00:29:03.400
 tell you about the Bible.

00:29:03.500 --> 00:29:04.079
 I'd love to tell you

00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:04.720
 about the gospel.

00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:06.660
 I live in this state.

00:29:06.660 --> 00:29:09.779
 This skittishness

00:29:09.779 --> 00:29:11.480
 that just

00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:12.620
 we're creeping along

00:29:12.620 --> 00:29:13.560
 in this Christian life

00:29:13.560 --> 00:29:14.400
 as far as the culture

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:14.820
 around us.

00:29:14.900 --> 00:29:16.060
 We're so afraid

00:29:16.060 --> 00:29:17.460
 of the persecution

00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:18.640
 that inevitably will come.

00:29:18.800 --> 00:29:19.820
 We're so nervous

00:29:19.820 --> 00:29:21.519
 about what people

00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:22.060
 are going to think

00:29:22.060 --> 00:29:22.519
 and what people

00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:23.080
 are going to say

00:29:23.080 --> 00:29:23.880
 because our pride

00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:24.500
 rules everything

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:24.980
 in our hearts.

00:29:25.060 --> 00:29:26.180
 We're so nervous

00:29:26.180 --> 00:29:26.880
 about that

00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:28.019
 that we never actually

00:29:28.019 --> 00:29:28.800
 end up proclaiming

00:29:28.800 --> 00:29:29.220
 the gospel

00:29:29.220 --> 00:29:30.560
 because we're jumpy

00:29:30.560 --> 00:29:31.400
 at every little thing.

00:29:32.380 --> 00:29:32.740
 I don't know

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:33.200
 what that person

00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:33.700
 is going to think

00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:34.200
 and maybe they'll

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:35.100
 think I'm coming

00:29:35.100 --> 00:29:35.720
 on too strong

00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:37.400
 or maybe it'll

00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:39.480
 affect my ability

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:40.079
 to move up

00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:40.759
 in my job.

00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:45.079
 Maybe my wife

00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:45.880
 who's not a believer

00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:46.920
 maybe my wife

00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:47.440
 not Julie

00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:48.700
 but maybe your wife

00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:49.120
 that's not a believer

00:29:49.120 --> 00:29:49.880
 maybe your wife

00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:50.559
 that's not a believer

00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:51.100
 maybe this is going

00:29:51.100 --> 00:29:51.559
 to affect my

00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:52.720
 if I really get serious

00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:53.600
 about serving the Lord

00:29:53.600 --> 00:29:54.140
 and if I really

00:29:54.140 --> 00:29:55.220
 try to share the gospel

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:55.420
 with her

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:56.279
 she might think

00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:56.799
 that I'm just

00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:57.559
 some kind of fanatic

00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:58.180
 she may leave me

00:29:58.180 --> 00:29:58.880
 and I love my wife

00:29:58.880 --> 00:29:59.460
 and I want my wife

00:29:59.460 --> 00:30:00.079
 to leave me.

00:30:01.539 --> 00:30:02.360
 If I really try

00:30:02.360 --> 00:30:03.079
 to push my kids

00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:03.640
 if I really try

00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:04.380
 to teach them the gospel

00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:05.019
 I really try to

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:05.839
 get them to come

00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:06.259
 to church

00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:06.799
 maybe they're going

00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:07.759
 to resent me

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:08.440
 in some way

00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:08.920
 maybe it's going

00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:10.160
 to affect my boldness

00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:10.759
 or my ability

00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:11.819
 to get a promotion

00:30:11.819 --> 00:30:12.279
 maybe it's going

00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:13.180
 to affect my friendships

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:14.299
 yes yes

00:30:14.299 --> 00:30:14.980
 it will affect

00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:15.759
 all of those things

00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:16.660
 in one way or another

00:30:16.660 --> 00:30:19.379
 but the gospel

00:30:19.379 --> 00:30:20.259
 worthy life

00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:22.019
 lives in the reality

00:30:22.019 --> 00:30:24.039
 that their king

00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:25.639
 controls it all

00:30:25.639 --> 00:30:27.940
 and if Christ

00:30:27.940 --> 00:30:28.759
 is our Lord

00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:29.900
 he's the one

00:30:29.900 --> 00:30:30.579
 we serve

00:30:30.579 --> 00:30:32.319
 not our boss

00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:34.819
 not our spouse

00:30:34.819 --> 00:30:37.279
 not our friendships

00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:39.200
 all of those things

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:39.799
 are important

00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:41.319
 so long as

00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:42.279
 our life

00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:42.899
 is first

00:30:42.899 --> 00:30:44.139
 primarily consumed

00:30:44.139 --> 00:30:45.419
 with Christ

00:30:45.419 --> 00:30:47.359
 a believer

00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:48.119
 that's consumed

00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:48.720
 by fear

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:49.500
 will never stand

00:30:49.500 --> 00:30:49.960
 firm

00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:52.200
 nor will it

00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:53.240
 strive for the gospel

00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:57.659
 this isn't the type

00:30:57.659 --> 00:30:58.259
 of boldness

00:30:58.259 --> 00:30:58.759
 that comes

00:30:58.759 --> 00:30:59.179
 when we

00:30:59.179 --> 00:31:00.559
 take a deep breath

00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:00.839
 either

00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:01.919
 and just kind

00:31:01.919 --> 00:31:02.659
 of look inside

00:31:02.659 --> 00:31:03.940
 and muster up

00:31:03.940 --> 00:31:04.679
 any kind of courage

00:31:04.679 --> 00:31:05.859
 it's not the type

00:31:05.859 --> 00:31:06.279
 of boldness

00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:06.720
 that Paul's

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:07.440
 referencing here

00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:09.159
 this is a boldness

00:31:09.159 --> 00:31:10.119
 I think that comes

00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:11.579
 through the power

00:31:11.579 --> 00:31:11.919
 of God

00:31:11.919 --> 00:31:12.539
 through the spirit

00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:12.940
 of God

00:31:12.940 --> 00:31:13.579
 as we draw

00:31:13.579 --> 00:31:14.279
 close to him

00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:16.659
 as we daily

00:31:16.659 --> 00:31:17.519
 preach the gospel

00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:18.559
 even to ourselves

00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:20.579
 remind ourselves

00:31:20.579 --> 00:31:21.099
 of what God

00:31:21.099 --> 00:31:21.639
 has actually

00:31:21.639 --> 00:31:22.440
 done for us

00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:23.899
 God through his

00:31:23.899 --> 00:31:24.579
 power builds

00:31:24.579 --> 00:31:25.299
 this confidence

00:31:25.299 --> 00:31:27.919
 it's given

00:31:27.919 --> 00:31:28.599
 as we

00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:29.220
 truly

00:31:29.220 --> 00:31:30.619
 trust God

00:31:30.619 --> 00:31:31.899
 that's the point

00:31:31.899 --> 00:31:34.559
 everything we do

00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:35.000
 is built

00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:35.759
 on faith

00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:37.419
 which is why

00:31:37.419 --> 00:31:37.960
 this is such

00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:38.419
 a struggle

00:31:38.419 --> 00:31:40.619
 it's a struggle

00:31:40.619 --> 00:31:41.000
 for me

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:41.419
 because

00:31:41.419 --> 00:31:42.279
 in reality

00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:42.899
 my faith

00:31:42.899 --> 00:31:43.339
 is often

00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:44.119
 very weak

00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:46.639
 those of you

00:31:46.639 --> 00:31:47.139
 from Laurel

00:31:47.139 --> 00:31:47.759
 know exactly

00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:48.379
 how weak

00:31:48.379 --> 00:31:48.879
 it is

00:31:48.879 --> 00:31:50.039
 took me

00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:50.299
 a year

00:31:50.299 --> 00:31:50.700
 and a half

00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:51.159
 to actually

00:31:51.159 --> 00:31:51.759
 move forward

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:52.099
 with this

00:31:52.099 --> 00:31:52.579
 church plant

00:31:52.579 --> 00:31:54.279
 I was scared

00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:54.619
 of it

00:31:54.619 --> 00:31:56.219
 it's tough

00:31:56.219 --> 00:31:56.979
 to trust

00:31:56.979 --> 00:31:57.359
 the Lord

00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:57.799
 in that

00:31:57.799 --> 00:31:59.979
 but how foolish

00:31:59.979 --> 00:32:00.359
 is that

00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:00.799
 as we look

00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:01.379
 at the gospel

00:32:01.379 --> 00:32:03.539
 we trust

00:32:03.539 --> 00:32:03.859
 God

00:32:03.859 --> 00:32:04.219
 with our

00:32:04.219 --> 00:32:04.699
 eternity

00:32:04.699 --> 00:32:06.099
 but we don't

00:32:06.099 --> 00:32:06.459
 trust him

00:32:06.459 --> 00:32:06.899
 for anything

00:32:06.899 --> 00:32:07.219
 else

00:32:07.219 --> 00:32:07.659
 sometimes

00:32:07.659 --> 00:32:10.399
 so much

00:32:10.399 --> 00:32:10.679
 of our

00:32:10.679 --> 00:32:11.199
 perspective

00:32:11.199 --> 00:32:11.879
 as believers

00:32:11.879 --> 00:32:13.039
 is directly

00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:13.579
 related

00:32:13.579 --> 00:32:14.419
 to the extent

00:32:14.419 --> 00:32:15.459
 to which

00:32:15.459 --> 00:32:15.939
 we trust

00:32:15.939 --> 00:32:16.339
 God

00:32:16.339 --> 00:32:18.739
 trusting

00:32:18.739 --> 00:32:19.399
 the truth

00:32:19.399 --> 00:32:19.939
 of God

00:32:19.939 --> 00:32:21.059
 will move

00:32:21.059 --> 00:32:21.679
 us to stand

00:32:21.679 --> 00:32:22.119
 firm

00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:22.639
 on sound

00:32:22.639 --> 00:32:23.059
 doctrine

00:32:23.059 --> 00:32:24.399
 we'll stand

00:32:24.399 --> 00:32:24.779
 firm

00:32:24.779 --> 00:32:25.179
 on it

00:32:25.179 --> 00:32:25.720
 when we

00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:26.000
 truly

00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:26.379
 trust

00:32:26.379 --> 00:32:26.599
 God

00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:27.019
 that he's

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:27.399
 right

00:32:27.399 --> 00:32:28.740
 and we'll

00:32:28.740 --> 00:32:29.079
 defend

00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:29.559
 it

00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:30.879
 trusting

00:32:30.879 --> 00:32:31.539
 the work

00:32:31.539 --> 00:32:32.159
 of God

00:32:32.159 --> 00:32:33.379
 will move

00:32:33.379 --> 00:32:34.139
 us to partner

00:32:34.139 --> 00:32:34.899
 with the church

00:32:34.899 --> 00:32:35.700
 in proclaiming

00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:36.179
 the gospel

00:32:36.179 --> 00:32:37.500
 trusting

00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:38.119
 his word

00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:38.759
 will cause

00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:39.299
 us to stand

00:32:39.299 --> 00:32:39.659
 firm

00:32:39.659 --> 00:32:40.359
 trusting

00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:40.799
 the fact

00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:41.200
 that he

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:41.599
 actually

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:42.319
 does work

00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:43.099
 through us

00:32:43.099 --> 00:32:44.440
 will cause

00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:45.000
 us to press

00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:45.379
 forward

00:32:45.379 --> 00:32:45.940
 in striving

00:32:45.940 --> 00:32:46.279
 together

00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:46.940
 for the gospel

00:32:46.940 --> 00:32:49.859
 trusting

00:32:49.859 --> 00:32:50.519
 the goodness

00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:51.259
 of God

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:53.220
 the rightness

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:53.980
 of God

00:32:53.980 --> 00:32:55.500
 will move

00:32:55.500 --> 00:32:55.960
 us to be

00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:56.400
 faithful

00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:57.879
 in the face

00:32:57.879 --> 00:32:58.460
 of opposition

00:32:58.460 --> 00:33:00.660
 you see

00:33:00.660 --> 00:33:01.480
 all of this

00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:01.879
 eventually

00:33:01.879 --> 00:33:02.420
 just comes

00:33:02.420 --> 00:33:02.779
 down to

00:33:02.779 --> 00:33:03.200
 faith

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:05.680
 without faith

00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:06.240
 it's impossible

00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:06.879
 to please him

00:33:06.879 --> 00:33:07.200
 the writer

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:07.579
 of Hebrews

00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:08.539
 tells us

00:33:08.539 --> 00:33:11.139
 some of you

00:33:11.139 --> 00:33:11.559
 may say

00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:12.599
 you know

00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:12.879
 when I

00:33:12.879 --> 00:33:13.779
 when I

00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:14.639
 trusted Christ

00:33:14.639 --> 00:33:15.839
 when I

00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:16.259
 when I

00:33:16.259 --> 00:33:17.099
 when I

00:33:17.099 --> 00:33:17.920
 ventured

00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:18.400
 into this

00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:19.139
 Christian life

00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:20.020
 I came

00:33:20.020 --> 00:33:20.320
 for the

00:33:20.320 --> 00:33:20.700
 forgiveness

00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:21.620
 and for

00:33:21.620 --> 00:33:22.080
 the love

00:33:22.080 --> 00:33:23.000
 and for

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:23.280
 heaven

00:33:23.280 --> 00:33:24.500
 and for

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:25.160
 God

00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:26.980
 I didn't

00:33:26.980 --> 00:33:27.420
 come for

00:33:27.420 --> 00:33:27.920
 suffering

00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:29.680
 and difficulty

00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:31.520
 I didn't

00:33:31.520 --> 00:33:32.000
 come

00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:33.180
 to have

00:33:33.180 --> 00:33:34.440
 to live

00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:34.880
 in light

00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:35.160
 of the

00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:35.500
 threat

00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:35.880
 that

00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:36.940
 people are

00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:37.160
 going to

00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:37.560
 oppose

00:33:37.560 --> 00:33:38.080
 everything

00:33:38.080 --> 00:33:38.380
 that I

00:33:38.380 --> 00:33:38.740
 believe

00:33:38.740 --> 00:33:39.640
 and oppose

00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:40.000
 everything

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:40.320
 that I

00:33:40.320 --> 00:33:40.580
 am

00:33:40.580 --> 00:33:41.020
 and if

00:33:41.020 --> 00:33:41.540
 my life

00:33:41.540 --> 00:33:41.860
 actually

00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:42.080
 gets

00:33:42.080 --> 00:33:42.380
 wrapped

00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:42.759
 up in

00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:42.980
 this

00:33:42.980 --> 00:33:43.140
 that

00:33:43.140 --> 00:33:43.320
 means

00:33:43.320 --> 00:33:43.460
 I'm

00:33:43.460 --> 00:33:43.540
 going

00:33:43.540 --> 00:33:43.840
 to face

00:33:43.840 --> 00:33:44.020
 even

00:33:44.020 --> 00:33:44.300
 more

00:33:44.300 --> 00:33:45.180
 opposition

00:33:45.180 --> 00:33:48.460
 but all

00:33:48.460 --> 00:33:48.820
 of those

00:33:48.820 --> 00:33:49.220
 things

00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:49.700
 end up

00:33:49.700 --> 00:33:49.980
 coming

00:33:49.980 --> 00:33:50.340
 down

00:33:50.340 --> 00:33:50.700
 to the

00:33:50.700 --> 00:33:51.019
 extent

00:33:51.019 --> 00:33:51.400
 with which

00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:51.539
 we

00:33:51.539 --> 00:33:51.880
 actually

00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:52.200
 trust

00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:52.360
 the

00:33:52.360 --> 00:33:52.620
 Lord

00:33:52.620 --> 00:33:54.440
 this

00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:54.660
 week

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:54.860
 Julie

00:33:54.860 --> 00:33:55.080
 and I

00:33:55.080 --> 00:33:55.320
 had a

00:33:55.320 --> 00:33:55.840
 conversation

00:33:55.840 --> 00:33:56.259
 preparing

00:33:56.259 --> 00:33:56.820
 for this

00:33:56.820 --> 00:33:57.700
 particular

00:33:57.700 --> 00:33:58.180
 message

00:33:58.180 --> 00:33:59.820
 a truth

00:33:59.820 --> 00:34:00.200
 that Julie

00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:00.539
 had to

00:34:00.539 --> 00:34:00.980
 remind me

00:34:00.980 --> 00:34:01.279
 of this

00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:01.560
 week

00:34:01.560 --> 00:34:03.140
 that even

00:34:03.140 --> 00:34:03.700
 in preaching

00:34:03.700 --> 00:34:04.160
 a sermon

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.640
 or studying

00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:05.180
 a passage

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:05.640
 or leading

00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:06.039
 a church

00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:06.840
 or whatever

00:34:06.840 --> 00:34:07.560
 this is

00:34:07.560 --> 00:34:08.320
 when I

00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:08.720
 can let

00:34:08.720 --> 00:34:09.079
 go of

00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:09.460
 the fact

00:34:09.460 --> 00:34:09.940
 that I

00:34:09.940 --> 00:34:10.240
 can't

00:34:10.240 --> 00:34:10.460
 do it

00:34:10.460 --> 00:34:10.820
 and actually

00:34:10.820 --> 00:34:11.280
 trust the

00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:11.420
 Lord

00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:11.840
 to do it

00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:12.220
 even if

00:34:12.220 --> 00:34:12.340
 I

00:34:12.340 --> 00:34:12.659
 look like

00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:13.079
 a fool

00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:14.200
 even if

00:34:14.200 --> 00:34:14.420
 I don't

00:34:14.420 --> 00:34:14.720
 do it

00:34:14.720 --> 00:34:15.039
 the right

00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:15.340
 way

00:34:15.340 --> 00:34:15.579
 or if

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:16.220
 I'm

00:34:16.220 --> 00:34:16.579
 weak

00:34:16.579 --> 00:34:17.099
 in some

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:17.860
 form

00:34:17.860 --> 00:34:18.260
 or fashion

00:34:18.260 --> 00:34:18.820
 I have

00:34:18.820 --> 00:34:19.200
 to trust

00:34:19.200 --> 00:34:19.500
 the Lord

00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:19.920
 and as soon

00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:20.300
 as I can

00:34:20.300 --> 00:34:20.720
 trust the

00:34:20.720 --> 00:34:20.880
 Lord

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:21.380
 his work

00:34:21.380 --> 00:34:21.840
 can begin

00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:22.380
 through me

00:34:22.380 --> 00:34:22.680
 in whatever

00:34:22.680 --> 00:34:23.059
 way he

00:34:23.059 --> 00:34:23.539
 desires that

00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:23.940
 work to be

00:34:23.940 --> 00:34:24.159
 done

00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:27.039
 if you're

00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:27.260
 going to be

00:34:27.260 --> 00:34:27.720
 bold at

00:34:27.720 --> 00:34:28.240
 work

00:34:28.240 --> 00:34:30.460
 or in your

00:34:30.460 --> 00:34:30.980
 family or

00:34:30.980 --> 00:34:31.720
 wherever else

00:34:31.720 --> 00:34:32.820
 you're going to

00:34:32.820 --> 00:34:33.280
 avoid the

00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:34.099
 skittishness in

00:34:34.099 --> 00:34:34.480
 the Christian

00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:35.139
 life

00:34:35.139 --> 00:34:35.720
 you're going

00:34:35.720 --> 00:34:36.019
 to have to

00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:36.780
 trust God

00:34:36.780 --> 00:34:37.440
 that even

00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:38.260
 in persecution

00:34:38.260 --> 00:34:39.200
 he loves

00:34:39.200 --> 00:34:39.500
 you

00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:40.519
 and he has

00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:40.960
 a purpose

00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:41.619
 for that

00:34:41.619 --> 00:34:43.860
 Marty's

00:34:43.860 --> 00:34:44.260
 testimony

00:34:44.260 --> 00:34:44.660
 he didn't

00:34:44.660 --> 00:34:45.100
 mention as

00:34:45.100 --> 00:34:45.540
 much about

00:34:45.540 --> 00:34:45.840
 today

00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:46.920
 earlier this

00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:47.480
 year about

00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:48.120
 going through

00:34:48.120 --> 00:34:48.780
 that difficulty

00:34:48.780 --> 00:34:50.620
 he was

00:34:50.620 --> 00:34:51.260
 airlifted to

00:34:51.260 --> 00:34:51.680
 the hospital

00:34:51.680 --> 00:34:52.020
 and almost

00:34:52.020 --> 00:34:52.320
 died

00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:52.740
 had brain

00:34:52.740 --> 00:34:52.960
 surgery

00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:53.200
 a couple

00:34:53.200 --> 00:34:53.460
 brain

00:34:53.460 --> 00:34:53.780
 surgeries

00:34:53.780 --> 00:34:54.120
 actually

00:34:54.120 --> 00:34:54.780
 earlier this

00:34:54.780 --> 00:34:55.020
 year

00:34:55.020 --> 00:34:57.060
 a man

00:34:57.060 --> 00:34:57.360
 with a

00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:57.900
 weak faith

00:34:57.900 --> 00:34:58.280
 would look

00:34:58.280 --> 00:34:58.640
 at that

00:34:58.640 --> 00:34:59.220
 and wonder

00:34:59.220 --> 00:34:59.960
 maybe

00:34:59.960 --> 00:35:01.300
 is God

00:35:01.300 --> 00:35:01.900
 truly got

00:35:01.900 --> 00:35:02.400
 my back

00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:02.680
 in this

00:35:02.680 --> 00:35:03.020
 is this

00:35:03.020 --> 00:35:03.560
 really what

00:35:03.560 --> 00:35:04.000
 this life

00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:04.400
 is supposed

00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:04.720
 to be

00:35:04.720 --> 00:35:05.020
 like

00:35:05.020 --> 00:35:06.340
 and you

00:35:06.340 --> 00:35:06.740
 get through

00:35:06.740 --> 00:35:07.300
 those moments

00:35:07.300 --> 00:35:07.840
 with joy

00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:08.420
 when you

00:35:08.420 --> 00:35:09.060
 truly trust

00:35:09.060 --> 00:35:09.440
 God

00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:10.340
 you cast

00:35:10.340 --> 00:35:10.700
 yourself

00:35:10.700 --> 00:35:11.180
 on him

00:35:11.179 --> 00:35:13.480
 you stand

00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:13.879
 firm

00:35:13.879 --> 00:35:14.179
 when you

00:35:14.179 --> 00:35:14.500
 really

00:35:14.500 --> 00:35:14.879
 truly

00:35:14.879 --> 00:35:15.460
 believe

00:35:15.460 --> 00:35:16.359
 that what

00:35:16.359 --> 00:35:16.659
 he has

00:35:16.659 --> 00:35:17.039
 given us

00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:17.279
 in his

00:35:17.279 --> 00:35:17.639
 word

00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:18.659
 is actually

00:35:18.659 --> 00:35:19.000
 his

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:19.500
 word

00:35:19.500 --> 00:35:22.539
 and so

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:23.000
 just like

00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:23.359
 we mentioned

00:35:23.359 --> 00:35:23.940
 earlier in the

00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:24.379

00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:25.799
 new

00:35:25.799 --> 00:35:26.139
 testament

00:35:26.139 --> 00:35:26.759
 when we
