00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.980
 Deuteronomy 4, verse 15 to 24, and that's on page 183.

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:20.800
 You saw no form of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire.

00:00:21.699 --> 00:00:26.179
 Therefore watch yourselves very carefully, so that you do not become corrupt

00:00:26.179 --> 00:00:33.679
 and make for yourself an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman,

00:00:34.179 --> 00:00:38.019
 or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air,

00:00:38.859 --> 00:00:43.939
 or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below.

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:51.719
 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars, all the heavenly array,

00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:57.659
 do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshipping things the Lord your God

00:00:57.659 --> 00:01:03.079
 has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:09.259
 But as for you, the Lord took you and brought you out of the iron smelting furnace,

00:01:09.939 --> 00:01:16.579
 out of Egypt, to be the people of his inheritance, as you now are.

00:01:16.579 --> 00:01:24.140
 The Lord was angry with me because of you, and he solemnly swore that I would not cross the Jordan

00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:30.000
 and enter the good land the Lord your God is giving to you as your inheritance.

00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.959
 I will die in this land. I will not cross the Jordan.

00:01:35.859 --> 00:01:39.560
 But you are about to cross over and take possession of that good land.

00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:46.039
 Be careful not to forget the covenant of the Lord your God has made with you.

00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:54.019
 Do not make for yourselves an idol in any form of anything the Lord your God has forbidden.

00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.400
 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.319
 Continuing at verse 32.

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:11.560
 Now ask about the former days, long before your time,

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.759
 from the day God created man on the earth.

00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:20.799
 Ask from one end of the heavens to the other.

00:02:21.399 --> 00:02:24.079
 Has anything so great as this ever happened?

00:02:24.620 --> 00:02:27.239
 Or has anything like it ever been heard of?

00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:34.879
 Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire as you have and lived?

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:44.680
 Has any God ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation?

00:02:45.060 --> 00:02:52.859
 By testings, by miraculous signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm,

00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.500
 or by great and awesome deeds,

00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:02.079
 like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:08.700
 You were shown these things so that you may know that the Lord is God.

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.100
 Beside him there is no other.

00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.320
 From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you.

00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:19.340
 On earth he showed you his great fire,

00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:22.080
 and you heard his words out of the fire.

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:26.760
 Because he loved your forefathers and chose their descendants after them,

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:31.520
 he brought you out of Egypt by his presence and his great strength,

00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:36.600
 to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you,

00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.840
 and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance,

00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:42.720
 as it is today.

00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:50.379
 Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above,

00:03:50.979 --> 00:03:52.300
 and on the earth below.

00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:54.620
 There is no other.

00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.180
 Keep his decrees and commands which I am giving you today,

00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:05.500
 so that it may go well with you and your children after you,

00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:11.099
 and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.

00:04:11.099 --> 00:04:12.159
 Thank you.

00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:43.720
 Let's pray.

00:04:55.100 --> 00:04:59.720
 Assemble the people before me to hear my words,

00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.600
 so that they may learn to revere me.

00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:10.379
 And that they may teach them to their children.

00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:18.980
 Our Father, we gather around you through your word right now.

00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:23.399
 And we want you to speak to us afresh,

00:05:23.939 --> 00:05:27.779
 so that we too might revere you,

00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:31.319
 to know what it is to honour you,

00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.680
 to live lives of worship before you,

00:05:36.219 --> 00:05:42.819
 and that we might also teach these same things to our children,

00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:45.439
 and to our families,

00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:51.480
 so that they too might know the living God.

00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:55.939
 So please, by your Spirit,

00:05:55.939 --> 00:05:57.400
 speak into our lives,

00:05:57.900 --> 00:06:00.939
 and change us, we pray.

00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:02.560
 Amen.

00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:09.800
 Well, he has been their leader now for over 40 years.

00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.780
 As God's prophet to God's people,

00:06:14.780 --> 00:06:17.319
 Moses was God's chosen instrument

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:23.040
 to speak God's commanding words into the lives of his people.

00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:24.819
 Without Moses,

00:06:25.400 --> 00:06:29.040
 they would never know what God had planned or promised.

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:30.939
 Without Moses,

00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.939
 they would never hear from God.

00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:36.600
 He was God's mediator.

00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.520
 God would speak to the people through Moses.

00:06:41.640 --> 00:06:43.560
 He was that vital voice

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.080
 that kept God and the people

00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:49.420
 in communication with one another.

00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:55.340
 Now they stand on the verge of entering the promised land.

00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.400
 But something very sad was about to happen.

00:07:00.200 --> 00:07:03.080
 Look at chapter 3, verse 27.

00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:07.120
 God is speaking

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.959
 to Moses.

00:07:10.459 --> 00:07:12.240
 Chapter 3, verse 27.

00:07:12.359 --> 00:07:13.379
 And God said to Moses,

00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.099
 Go up to the top of Pisgah

00:07:16.099 --> 00:07:19.399
 and look west and north and south and east.

00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:21.060
 Look at the land

00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:22.680
 with your own eyes

00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.379
 since you are not

00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:26.759
 going to cross this Jordan.

00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:31.439
 In fact, later in chapter 4, verse 22,

00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.399
 Moses himself would say to the people,

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.459
 I will die in this land.

00:07:37.459 --> 00:07:39.819
 I will not cross the Jordan,

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:42.759
 but you are about to cross over

00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.860
 and take possession of that good land.

00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:48.159
 So the great leader

00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:50.199
 who spoke to the people

00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:51.740
 on God's behalf

00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:52.879
 was about to die.

00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.220
 He was not going with them

00:07:55.220 --> 00:07:56.899
 into the promised land.

00:07:57.180 --> 00:07:58.819
 So the big question is,

00:07:58.819 --> 00:08:02.300
 who is now going to speak

00:08:02.300 --> 00:08:03.319
 to God's people

00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:04.819
 because Moses is going to die

00:08:04.819 --> 00:08:05.980
 and he's not going to be there?

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.800
 They're going to enter the promised land,

00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:10.699
 so who is going to be the one

00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:13.100
 who's going to speak for God?

00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:16.139
 Because without God's voice,

00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.920
 they will never know what to do.

00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:22.199
 Well, God's people

00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.379
 never need a new voice.

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:26.819
 We need to hear

00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:28.879
 the same voice.

00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:31.360
 First,

00:08:31.659 --> 00:08:33.500
 God powerfully speaks

00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:35.080
 to his people.

00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:37.480
 Chapter 4, verse 1.

00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.299
 Moses speaking to the people.

00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:44.320
 Hear now, O Israel,

00:08:44.439 --> 00:08:45.779
 the decrees and laws

00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:47.200
 I am about to teach you.

00:08:47.700 --> 00:08:48.600
 Follow them

00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.080
 so that you may live

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:51.340
 and may go in

00:08:51.340 --> 00:08:53.000
 and take possession of the land

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:53.840
 that the Lord,

00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:55.419
 the God of your fathers,

00:08:55.539 --> 00:08:56.340
 is giving you.

00:08:56.820 --> 00:08:57.919
 Do not add

00:08:57.919 --> 00:08:59.600
 to what I command you

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.100
 and do not subtract from it,

00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.720
 but keep the commands

00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:06.879
 of the Lord your God

00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.480
 that I give you.

00:09:09.179 --> 00:09:09.559
 You see,

00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:10.899
 with his death in mind

00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:12.039
 and knowing that

00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:13.620
 he's not going into

00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:14.580
 the promised land,

00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:16.740
 Moses reminds

00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:19.879
 God's word to them.

00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.720
 Hear what I teach you.

00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.259
 Follow what I give you.

00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:27.740
 Keep what I command you.

00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:29.240
 You see,

00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:30.279
 the people don't need

00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:31.279
 a new voice.

00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.019
 They need to keep hearing

00:09:33.019 --> 00:09:34.320
 the same voice

00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:35.399
 as they move

00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:36.840
 into the promised land.

00:09:37.220 --> 00:09:37.879
 Verse 5.

00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:38.700
 See,

00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:39.840
 I have taught you

00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.580
 decrees and laws

00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:43.440
 as the Lord my God

00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:44.379
 commanded me

00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:45.919
 so that you may

00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:46.899
 follow them

00:09:46.899 --> 00:09:47.679
 in the land

00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:48.460
 you are entering

00:09:48.460 --> 00:09:49.940
 to take possession of it.

00:09:49.940 --> 00:09:51.920
 God is always

00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:53.420
 a speaking God

00:09:53.420 --> 00:09:55.220
 and his voice

00:09:55.220 --> 00:09:57.280
 is continually heard

00:09:57.280 --> 00:09:59.000
 when his same word

00:09:59.000 --> 00:09:59.880
 is taught.

00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:01.320
 Look at the end

00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:02.300
 of verse 9.

00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:05.060
 He tells them

00:10:05.060 --> 00:10:06.220
 to teach them

00:10:06.220 --> 00:10:07.420
 these words

00:10:07.420 --> 00:10:08.680
 to your children

00:10:08.680 --> 00:10:10.720
 and to their children

00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:11.900
 after them.

00:10:11.899 --> 00:10:14.279
 So it's not a case

00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:15.819
 of hearing something new

00:10:15.819 --> 00:10:17.720
 but listening carefully

00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:18.679
 to what God

00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.259
 has said.

00:10:21.059 --> 00:10:22.500
 And this is always

00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:23.139
 primary

00:10:23.139 --> 00:10:24.360
 and it's foundational

00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:25.919
 for God's people.

00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:26.679
 There's two things

00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:27.480
 we want to look at

00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:27.939
 under this.

00:10:28.059 --> 00:10:28.299
 First,

00:10:28.699 --> 00:10:29.399
 that God

00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.139
 has spoken.

00:10:32.439 --> 00:10:33.980
 Look down at verse 10

00:10:33.980 --> 00:10:36.240
 still in chapter 4.

00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:38.039
 He's reminding them

00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:39.299
 of an event

00:10:39.299 --> 00:10:40.059
 that happened

00:10:40.059 --> 00:10:41.399
 40 years ago.

00:10:42.459 --> 00:10:42.860
 He says,

00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:43.839
 Remember the day

00:10:43.839 --> 00:10:44.879
 you stood before

00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:45.740
 the Lord your God

00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:46.360
 at Horeb.

00:10:46.439 --> 00:10:47.839
 This was Mount Sinai.

00:10:49.099 --> 00:10:50.159
 Remember what happened

00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:51.199
 when he said to me,

00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:53.000
 Assemble the people

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:53.839
 before me

00:10:53.839 --> 00:10:55.339
 to hear my words

00:10:55.339 --> 00:10:56.759
 so that they may

00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.539
 learn to revere me

00:10:58.539 --> 00:10:59.620
 as long as they

00:10:59.620 --> 00:11:00.360
 live in the land

00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:01.299
 and may teach them

00:11:01.299 --> 00:11:02.699
 to their children.

00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:04.500
 You came near

00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:05.099
 and you stood

00:11:05.099 --> 00:11:06.139
 at the foot of the mountain

00:11:06.139 --> 00:11:07.219
 while it blazed

00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:08.000
 with fire

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:09.379
 to the very heavens

00:11:09.379 --> 00:11:10.980
 with black clouds

00:11:10.980 --> 00:11:12.480
 and deep darkness.

00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:14.480
 Then the Lord

00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:15.580
 spoke to you

00:11:15.580 --> 00:11:16.639
 out of the fire.

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:18.399
 You heard the sound

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.100
 of words

00:11:19.100 --> 00:11:20.899
 but saw no form.

00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:22.360
 There was only

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:23.300
 a voice.

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:26.019
 Now you try

00:11:26.019 --> 00:11:27.160
 and picture yourself

00:11:27.160 --> 00:11:27.540
 there.

00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:29.580
 It must have been

00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:30.480
 an incredible

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:31.480
 and memorable

00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:32.120
 sight.

00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:33.200
 Thousands

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.840
 of God's people

00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:35.920
 gathered round

00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:37.139
 this mountain

00:11:37.139 --> 00:11:38.699
 which looked like

00:11:38.699 --> 00:11:39.139
 to them

00:11:39.139 --> 00:11:39.740
 that it was

00:11:39.740 --> 00:11:40.939
 on fire

00:11:40.939 --> 00:11:43.219
 but at the same time

00:11:43.219 --> 00:11:43.899
 it was covered

00:11:43.899 --> 00:11:44.839
 in this deep

00:11:44.839 --> 00:11:45.779
 dark

00:11:45.779 --> 00:11:47.219
 black cloud.

00:11:49.319 --> 00:11:49.979
 And as they're

00:11:49.979 --> 00:11:51.299
 watching all of this

00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:52.799
 suddenly

00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.399
 from this mountain

00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.279
 comes an audible

00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:56.959
 voice.

00:11:58.699 --> 00:12:00.120
 And who was speaking?

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:00.919
 Well look at the

00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.019
 beginning of verse 12.

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:05.179
 Then the Lord

00:12:05.179 --> 00:12:06.960
 spoke to you

00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:08.039
 out of the fire.

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:10.579
 And what did God

00:12:10.579 --> 00:12:11.279
 look like

00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.199
 when he spoke?

00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:13.799
 Look at the rest

00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:14.399
 of verse 12.

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:15.740
 You heard the sound

00:12:15.740 --> 00:12:16.419
 of words

00:12:16.419 --> 00:12:19.460
 but saw no form.

00:12:20.299 --> 00:12:21.340
 There was only

00:12:21.340 --> 00:12:22.519
 a voice.

00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:25.000
 You see

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.039
 it's not what they

00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:26.620
 saw

00:12:26.620 --> 00:12:28.100
 that was important

00:12:28.100 --> 00:12:29.580
 but what they

00:12:29.580 --> 00:12:30.259
 heard.

00:12:31.019 --> 00:12:31.500
 They don't know

00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:31.980
 what God

00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:32.700
 looks like

00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:34.379
 but God

00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:35.279
 was speaking

00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:36.420
 to his

00:12:36.420 --> 00:12:36.879
 people.

00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:39.980
 Now

00:12:39.980 --> 00:12:41.040
 we need to ask

00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:41.920
 ourselves at this

00:12:41.920 --> 00:12:42.220
 point

00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:43.320
 is this the way

00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:44.040
 we should be

00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:44.899
 expecting God

00:12:44.899 --> 00:12:45.980
 to speak to us?

00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:47.519
 Do we all have

00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:48.220
 to take a

00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:49.200
 bus trip down

00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:49.519
 to

00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:50.759
 Cairn-Tool

00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:51.639
 and gather

00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:52.500
 round the base

00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:53.680
 and wait for

00:12:53.680 --> 00:12:54.800
 fire and dark

00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:55.480
 clouds and

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:56.620
 for a voice

00:12:56.620 --> 00:12:57.120
 to come?

00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.039
 How is God

00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:00.139
 going to speak

00:13:00.139 --> 00:13:00.799
 to us?

00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:03.620
 Well

00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:04.659
 keep your finger

00:13:04.659 --> 00:13:06.600
 in Deuteronomy 4

00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.060
 and flick forward

00:13:08.060 --> 00:13:09.560
 to

00:13:09.560 --> 00:13:11.659
 Deuteronomy

00:13:11.659 --> 00:13:12.720
 chapter 18.

00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:14.980
 Deuteronomy

00:13:14.980 --> 00:13:15.639
 18.

00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:16.960
 Remember

00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:17.659
 the whole

00:13:17.659 --> 00:13:18.580
 of Deuteronomy

00:13:18.580 --> 00:13:20.100
 is a series

00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:21.560
 of sermons

00:13:21.560 --> 00:13:22.139
 if you like

00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:22.840
 or talks

00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:23.560
 that Moses

00:13:23.560 --> 00:13:24.259
 gives to the

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:24.620
 people

00:13:24.620 --> 00:13:25.759
 just before

00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:26.440
 they cross

00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:27.200
 over into

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:27.840
 the promised

00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:28.840
 land.

00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:30.640
 He's reminding

00:13:30.640 --> 00:13:31.200
 them of all

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:31.580
 that God

00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:31.960
 has said

00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:32.600
 and here

00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:33.120
 he speaks

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:33.440
 to them

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:33.740
 again.

00:13:33.880 --> 00:13:34.140
 Chapter

00:13:34.140 --> 00:13:34.660
 18

00:13:34.660 --> 00:13:35.600
 verse 15

00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.100
 The Lord

00:13:39.100 --> 00:13:39.600
 your God

00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:40.140
 will raise

00:13:40.140 --> 00:13:40.660
 up for you

00:13:40.660 --> 00:13:41.240
 a prophet

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:42.360
 like me

00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:43.320
 from among

00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:43.860
 your own

00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:44.240
 brothers.

00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:45.020
 You must

00:13:45.020 --> 00:13:45.600
 listen

00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:46.580
 to him.

00:13:46.580 --> 00:13:49.040
 down to

00:13:49.040 --> 00:13:49.920
 verse 17

00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:51.959
 The Lord

00:13:51.959 --> 00:13:52.479
 said to me

00:13:52.479 --> 00:13:52.860
 what they

00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:53.279
 say is

00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:53.579
 good.

00:13:53.839 --> 00:13:54.319
 I will

00:13:54.319 --> 00:13:54.839
 raise up

00:13:54.839 --> 00:13:55.339
 for them

00:13:55.339 --> 00:13:56.099
 a prophet

00:13:56.099 --> 00:13:57.519
 like you

00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:58.179
 from among

00:13:58.179 --> 00:13:58.860
 their brothers.

00:13:59.339 --> 00:14:00.059
 I will

00:14:00.059 --> 00:14:00.759
 put my

00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:01.399
 words

00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:02.059
 in his

00:14:02.059 --> 00:14:02.479
 mouth

00:14:02.479 --> 00:14:03.759
 and he

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:04.259
 will tell

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:04.479
 them

00:14:04.479 --> 00:14:05.159
 everything

00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:06.379
 I command

00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:06.719
 him.

00:14:07.439 --> 00:14:08.120
 If anyone

00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:08.699
 does not

00:14:08.699 --> 00:14:09.360
 listen

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:10.079
 to my

00:14:10.079 --> 00:14:10.559
 words

00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:11.019
 that the

00:14:11.019 --> 00:14:11.319
 prophet

00:14:11.319 --> 00:14:12.039
 speaks

00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:12.419
 in

00:14:12.419 --> 00:14:13.159
 my

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:13.699
 name

00:14:13.699 --> 00:14:14.579
 I

00:14:14.579 --> 00:14:15.199
 myself

00:14:15.199 --> 00:14:15.500
 will

00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:15.819
 call

00:14:15.819 --> 00:14:16.039
 him

00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:16.259
 to

00:14:16.259 --> 00:14:16.839
 account.

00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.560
 So God

00:14:20.560 --> 00:14:20.960
 is going

00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:21.639
 to raise

00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:22.259
 up other

00:14:22.259 --> 00:14:22.759
 prophets

00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:23.259
 other

00:14:23.259 --> 00:14:23.899
 speakers

00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:24.820
 like

00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:25.320
 Moses

00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:26.100
 who will

00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:26.620
 continue

00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:27.240
 to speak

00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:27.740
 God's

00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:27.960
 word

00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:28.340
 to the

00:14:28.340 --> 00:14:28.720
 people.

00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:29.560
 Not a

00:14:29.560 --> 00:14:29.899
 different

00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:30.420
 word

00:14:30.420 --> 00:14:31.480
 but the

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:31.759
 same

00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:32.019
 word.

00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:32.399
 Not a

00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:32.720
 different

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:33.259
 voice

00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:34.639
 but the

00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:35.060
 same

00:14:35.060 --> 00:14:35.580
 voice.

00:14:37.540 --> 00:14:37.899
 And so

00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:38.420
 again we

00:14:38.420 --> 00:14:38.899
 might ask

00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:39.340
 the question

00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:39.940
 well where

00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:40.420
 is this

00:14:40.420 --> 00:14:40.820
 prophet

00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:41.420
 today?

00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:43.120
 Who is

00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:43.600
 going to

00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:44.120
 speak to

00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:44.400
 God

00:14:44.400 --> 00:14:45.160
 for us?

00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:46.759
 Because

00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:47.580
 many people

00:14:47.580 --> 00:14:48.659
 claim to

00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:49.580
 speak to

00:14:49.580 --> 00:14:50.240
 us on

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:50.960
 behalf of

00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:51.259
 God.

00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:52.319
 They might

00:14:52.319 --> 00:14:52.899
 say something

00:14:52.899 --> 00:14:53.399
 like well

00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:54.080
 God has

00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:54.980
 told me

00:14:54.980 --> 00:14:55.759
 or God

00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:56.279
 has said

00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:56.639
 to me

00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:57.360
 I've

00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:57.860
 heard God

00:14:57.860 --> 00:14:58.340
 speak to

00:14:58.340 --> 00:14:58.580
 me and

00:14:58.580 --> 00:14:58.860
 now I

00:14:58.860 --> 00:14:59.360
 must tell

00:14:59.360 --> 00:14:59.580
 you.

00:15:00.939 --> 00:15:01.840
 Well how

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.360
 should God

00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:02.919
 speak to

00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:03.259
 us?

00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:05.539
 Well flick

00:15:05.539 --> 00:15:06.500
 further on

00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:07.980
 to Hebrews

00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:10.059
 chapter 1.

00:15:10.299 --> 00:15:10.659
 I haven't

00:15:10.659 --> 00:15:11.279
 got a page

00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:11.659
 number.

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:12.139
 Hebrews

00:15:12.139 --> 00:15:13.019
 chapter 1.

00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:15.980
 You see

00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:16.399
 this is

00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:17.039
 the pattern

00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:17.620
 that God

00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:18.360
 takes his

00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:19.019
 people that

00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:20.039
 he speaks

00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.379
 through and

00:15:22.379 --> 00:15:22.960
 in Hebrews

00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:23.920
 chapter 1

00:15:23.920 --> 00:15:25.759
 and verse

00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:30.779
 1 we

00:15:30.779 --> 00:15:31.360
 read this

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:31.779
 in the

00:15:31.779 --> 00:15:33.539
 past God

00:15:33.539 --> 00:15:34.300
 spoke to

00:15:34.300 --> 00:15:35.460
 our forefathers

00:15:35.460 --> 00:15:36.180
 through the

00:15:36.180 --> 00:15:36.659
 prophets.

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:37.680
 So in the

00:15:37.680 --> 00:15:39.159
 past as in

00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:39.759
 the time of

00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.519
 Deuteronomy he

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:42.500
 spoke through the

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:43.220
 prophets at

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:44.399
 many times and

00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:45.039
 in various

00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:46.459
 ways but in

00:15:46.459 --> 00:15:47.159
 these last

00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:48.919
 days and

00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:49.379
 we're in the

00:15:49.379 --> 00:15:50.299
 last days he

00:15:50.299 --> 00:15:51.459
 has spoken to

00:15:51.459 --> 00:15:52.600
 us by his

00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.059
 son whom he

00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:56.120
 appointed heir

00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.340
 of all things.

00:15:58.519 --> 00:15:59.100
 You see

00:15:59.100 --> 00:16:00.980
 the last and

00:16:00.980 --> 00:16:02.639
 ultimate and

00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:03.139
 if you like

00:16:03.139 --> 00:16:04.220
 final prophet

00:16:04.220 --> 00:16:05.679
 is Jesus.

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:06.980
 He is God's

00:16:06.980 --> 00:16:08.699
 final and

00:16:08.699 --> 00:16:09.860
 complete word

00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:10.939
 to us today.

00:16:10.940 --> 00:16:12.120
 So like the

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:12.600
 people of

00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:13.120
 Israel we

00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:13.700
 don't need

00:16:13.700 --> 00:16:14.620
 a new

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:15.100
 word.

00:16:15.780 --> 00:16:16.580
 We need to

00:16:16.580 --> 00:16:17.220
 keep hearing

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:18.000
 the same

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.060
 word, the

00:16:19.060 --> 00:16:19.680
 voice of

00:16:19.680 --> 00:16:21.160
 God through

00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:21.880
 his son

00:16:21.880 --> 00:16:23.580
 Jesus Christ.

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:26.420
 So God

00:16:26.420 --> 00:16:28.260
 has spoken

00:16:28.260 --> 00:16:29.000
 to us.

00:16:29.460 --> 00:16:30.300
 His word is

00:16:30.300 --> 00:16:31.260
 fulfilled

00:16:31.260 --> 00:16:32.820
 completely in

00:16:32.820 --> 00:16:33.220
 Jesus.

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:35.420
 But let's go

00:16:35.420 --> 00:16:35.980
 back to

00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:36.620
 Deuteronomy

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:37.480
 chapter 4.

00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.080
 And the

00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:39.639
 second part

00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:39.920
 of this,

00:16:40.019 --> 00:16:40.360
 not only

00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:40.820
 has God

00:16:40.820 --> 00:16:41.360
 spoken,

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:43.120
 but God

00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:43.860
 speaks

00:16:43.860 --> 00:16:45.399
 powerfully.

00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:47.180
 In chapter

00:16:47.180 --> 00:16:47.759
 4 verse

00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:48.420
 11 we have

00:16:48.420 --> 00:16:49.120
 this amazing

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.060
 scene of

00:16:50.060 --> 00:16:51.200
 the mountain

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:52.259
 and we read

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:53.019
 in verse 11

00:16:53.019 --> 00:16:53.980
 you came

00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:54.600
 near and

00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:55.080
 you stood

00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:55.659
 at the foot

00:16:55.659 --> 00:16:55.940
 of the

00:16:55.940 --> 00:16:56.259
 mountain

00:16:56.259 --> 00:16:57.080
 while it

00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:57.539
 blazed

00:16:57.539 --> 00:16:58.379
 with fire.

00:17:00.060 --> 00:17:00.300
 And in

00:17:00.300 --> 00:17:01.019
 verse 12

00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:01.500
 then the

00:17:01.500 --> 00:17:02.240
 Lord spoke

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:02.659
 to you

00:17:02.659 --> 00:17:03.259
 out of

00:17:03.259 --> 00:17:03.940
 the fire.

00:17:05.579 --> 00:17:06.180
 Or look

00:17:06.180 --> 00:17:06.519
 at verse

00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:07.340
 36.

00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:09.000
 From

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:09.580
 heaven he

00:17:09.580 --> 00:17:10.100
 made you

00:17:10.100 --> 00:17:10.680
 hear his

00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:11.279
 voice to

00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:11.740
 discipline

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:12.039
 you.

00:17:12.340 --> 00:17:12.759
 On earth

00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:13.539
 he showed

00:17:13.539 --> 00:17:13.960
 you his

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.940
 great fire

00:17:14.940 --> 00:17:15.700
 and you

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:16.180
 heard his

00:17:16.180 --> 00:17:17.180
 words from

00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:17.720
 out of

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:18.340
 the fire.

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:20.660
 Now I

00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:21.000
 hope we've

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:21.299
 made the

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:21.799
 connection.

00:17:22.120 --> 00:17:23.019
 Fire and

00:17:23.019 --> 00:17:23.560
 words.

00:17:24.019 --> 00:17:24.600
 Why did

00:17:24.600 --> 00:17:25.380
 God's word

00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:26.019
 come out

00:17:26.019 --> 00:17:26.279
 of the

00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:26.660
 fire?

00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:29.700
 Well one

00:17:29.700 --> 00:17:30.500
 commentator

00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:31.220
 helpfully

00:17:31.220 --> 00:17:31.840
 puts it

00:17:31.840 --> 00:17:32.480
 like this

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:33.500
 that fire

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:35.220
 can be

00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:35.539
 both

00:17:35.539 --> 00:17:36.339
 beautiful

00:17:36.339 --> 00:17:38.079
 and

00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:38.720
 dangerous.

00:17:39.860 --> 00:17:40.500
 There is

00:17:40.500 --> 00:17:40.880
 something

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:41.600
 attractive

00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:42.759
 about a

00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:43.059
 fire.

00:17:43.180 --> 00:17:43.620
 A fire

00:17:43.620 --> 00:17:44.360
 can draw

00:17:44.360 --> 00:17:44.759
 you

00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:45.400
 and

00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:45.880
 warm

00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:46.319
 you.

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:49.120
 But there

00:17:49.120 --> 00:17:49.579
 is something

00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:50.400
 destructive

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:51.120
 about a

00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:51.440
 fire.

00:17:52.339 --> 00:17:53.240
 As we've

00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:53.559
 seen in

00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:54.019
 the fires

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:54.759
 in Australia

00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:55.420
 it can

00:17:55.420 --> 00:17:56.140
 consume

00:17:56.140 --> 00:17:56.600
 you

00:17:56.600 --> 00:17:57.360
 and

00:17:57.360 --> 00:17:57.960
 destroy

00:17:57.960 --> 00:17:58.500
 you.

00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:00.079
 You see

00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:00.600
 God's

00:18:00.600 --> 00:18:01.180
 words are

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:01.500
 both

00:18:01.500 --> 00:18:02.259
 beautiful

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:03.559
 and

00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:04.559
 dangerous.

00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:06.799
 His words

00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:07.740
 bring life

00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:09.839
 and they

00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:10.839
 bring death.

00:18:12.339 --> 00:18:13.000
 Listen to

00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:13.799
 the words

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:14.879
 of the

00:18:14.879 --> 00:18:15.680
 final and

00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:16.519
 ultimate and

00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:17.379
 great prophet

00:18:17.379 --> 00:18:18.440
 Jesus.

00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:19.619
 We opened

00:18:19.619 --> 00:18:20.240
 up with these

00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:20.879
 words at the

00:18:20.879 --> 00:18:21.359
 very beginning

00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:21.980
 this morning.

00:18:22.099 --> 00:18:22.359
 They come

00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:22.859
 from John

00:18:22.859 --> 00:18:23.539
 5 verse

00:18:23.539 --> 00:18:24.140
 24.

00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:25.579
 I tell

00:18:25.579 --> 00:18:25.920
 you the

00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:26.359
 truth

00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:27.079
 whoever

00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:28.220
 hears my

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:29.200
 words

00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:30.680
 and believes

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:31.059
 him who

00:18:31.059 --> 00:18:31.559
 sent me

00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:32.420
 has eternal

00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:33.000
 life

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:34.660
 and will

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:35.039
 not be

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.440
 condemned.

00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:36.039
 He is

00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:36.720
 crossed over

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:37.640
 from death

00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:39.220
 to life.

00:18:40.940 --> 00:18:41.380
 You see

00:18:41.380 --> 00:18:41.940
 to hear

00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:42.500
 God's

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:42.900
 words

00:18:42.900 --> 00:18:43.980
 to obey

00:18:43.980 --> 00:18:44.600
 God's

00:18:44.600 --> 00:18:44.960
 words

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.120
 is life

00:18:46.120 --> 00:18:46.860
 in all

00:18:46.860 --> 00:18:47.420
 its fullness.

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:48.580
 To ignore

00:18:48.580 --> 00:18:49.140
 God's

00:18:49.140 --> 00:18:49.420
 words

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:49.819
 and to

00:18:49.819 --> 00:18:50.400
 disobey

00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:50.900
 God's

00:18:50.900 --> 00:18:51.180
 word

00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:52.140
 is death

00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:53.279
 and chaos.

00:18:54.779 --> 00:18:55.660
 You see

00:18:55.660 --> 00:18:56.279
 we can't

00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:57.100
 treat God's

00:18:57.100 --> 00:18:57.559
 word with

00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:58.400
 indifference.

00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:00.059
 We can't

00:19:00.059 --> 00:19:00.539
 approach

00:19:00.539 --> 00:19:00.960
 God's

00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:01.380
 word and

00:19:01.380 --> 00:19:01.759
 read it

00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:02.200
 and say

00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:03.480
 it doesn't

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:04.000
 matter.

00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:06.860
 We can't

00:19:06.860 --> 00:19:07.180
 kind of

00:19:07.180 --> 00:19:07.640
 pick and

00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:08.259
 choose the

00:19:08.259 --> 00:19:08.660
 bits that

00:19:08.660 --> 00:19:09.039
 we like

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:09.360
 and say

00:19:09.360 --> 00:19:09.900
 well I

00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:10.360
 don't want

00:19:10.360 --> 00:19:10.759
 them saying

00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:11.180
 this but

00:19:11.180 --> 00:19:11.620
 I'm quite

00:19:11.620 --> 00:19:12.180
 happy with

00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:12.519
 this.

00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:14.440
 It does

00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:15.299
 matter.

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:16.700
 It's the

00:19:16.700 --> 00:19:17.140
 difference

00:19:17.140 --> 00:19:17.580
 between

00:19:17.580 --> 00:19:18.720
 life and

00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:19.279
 death.

00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:23.019
 So we

00:19:23.019 --> 00:19:23.500
 don't need

00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:23.940
 a new

00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:24.460
 voice.

00:19:25.460 --> 00:19:26.279
 We need

00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:26.720
 to keep

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:27.340
 hearing the

00:19:27.340 --> 00:19:28.279
 same voice

00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:29.460
 God

00:19:29.460 --> 00:19:30.099
 speaking

00:19:30.099 --> 00:19:30.920
 powerfully

00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:31.779
 to us

00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:33.079
 through

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:33.359
 his

00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:33.799
 word.

00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.019
 So what

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:37.720
 does God

00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:38.359
 actually

00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:39.319
 say to

00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:39.579
 us?

00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:40.059
 What is

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:40.700
 his word

00:19:40.700 --> 00:19:41.420
 to us?

00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:44.039
 Well second

00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:44.639
 God's

00:19:44.639 --> 00:19:45.059
 binding

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:45.759
 words

00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:46.599
 for his

00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:47.039
 people.

00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:48.139
 Look at

00:19:48.139 --> 00:19:48.819
 verse 15

00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:49.680
 chapter 4.

00:19:50.879 --> 00:19:51.259
 This is

00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:51.740
 what God

00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:52.240
 says to

00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:52.420
 them.

00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:53.759
 He said

00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:54.759
 God

00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:55.759
 says to

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:56.759
 you

00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:57.400
 God

00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:13.599
 warns us

00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:13.960
 about

00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:14.859
 idolatry.

00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:17.200
 Idolatry

00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:17.740
 or an

00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:18.759
 idol as

00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:19.200
 we've often

00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:19.839
 said before

00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:20.259
 is a

00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:20.700
 God

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:21.740
 substitute.

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:22.779
 It can

00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:23.400
 be someone

00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:24.140
 or something

00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:24.980
 that we

00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:25.539
 put in

00:20:25.539 --> 00:20:26.220
 place of

00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:26.579
 God.

00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:28.059
 So your

00:20:28.059 --> 00:20:28.620
 family,

00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:29.700
 your spouse,

00:20:29.859 --> 00:20:30.299
 your husband

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:30.759
 or wife

00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:31.039
 or your

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:31.599
 children

00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:32.940
 can become

00:20:32.940 --> 00:20:33.620
 an idol.

00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:35.019
 Health

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:36.200
 and beauty

00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:37.180
 can become

00:20:37.180 --> 00:20:37.819
 an idol.

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:38.940
 Work,

00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:39.720
 education,

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:40.079
 money,

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:40.480
 leisure,

00:20:40.660 --> 00:20:41.120
 any of

00:20:41.120 --> 00:20:41.660
 these things,

00:20:42.059 --> 00:20:42.599
 anything

00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:43.200
 that is

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:44.059
 more important

00:20:44.059 --> 00:20:44.839
 to you

00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:46.019
 than God

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:47.599
 is an

00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:47.960
 idol.

00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:50.319
 So verse

00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:50.919
 19.

00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:52.679
 And when

00:20:52.679 --> 00:20:53.039
 you look

00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:53.379
 up to

00:20:53.379 --> 00:20:53.939
 the sky

00:20:53.939 --> 00:20:54.279
 and you

00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:54.740
 see the

00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:55.039
 sun,

00:20:55.159 --> 00:20:55.519
 the moon

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:55.819
 and the

00:20:55.819 --> 00:20:56.159
 stars,

00:20:56.539 --> 00:20:57.000
 all the

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:57.299
 heavenly

00:20:57.299 --> 00:20:57.720
 array,

00:20:58.480 --> 00:20:59.000
 do not

00:20:59.000 --> 00:20:59.799
 be enticed

00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:00.619
 into bowing

00:21:00.619 --> 00:21:01.240
 down to

00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:02.079
 them and

00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:02.639
 worshipping

00:21:02.639 --> 00:21:03.319
 things the

00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:03.740
 Lord your

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:04.339
 God has

00:21:04.339 --> 00:21:05.299
 apportioned

00:21:05.299 --> 00:21:06.339
 to all

00:21:06.339 --> 00:21:06.919
 the nations

00:21:06.919 --> 00:21:07.480
 under

00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:07.819
 heaven.

00:21:08.159 --> 00:21:08.639
 In other

00:21:08.639 --> 00:21:08.859
 words,

00:21:08.939 --> 00:21:09.220
 we're not

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:09.619
 to give

00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:10.259
 ourselves to

00:21:10.259 --> 00:21:11.019
 anyone or

00:21:11.019 --> 00:21:11.519
 anything

00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:12.720
 that God

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.460
 has created.

00:21:14.379 --> 00:21:14.939
 We are

00:21:14.939 --> 00:21:15.500
 to worship

00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:16.299
 God,

00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:17.759
 not his

00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:18.359
 creation.

00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:19.759
 we are

00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:20.119
 to give

00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:20.559
 ourselves

00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:21.219
 completely

00:21:21.219 --> 00:21:22.319
 to God.

00:21:23.139 --> 00:21:24.279
 He owns

00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:24.519
 us,

00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:25.259
 he wants

00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:25.719
 us.

00:21:27.879 --> 00:21:29.099
 But why?

00:21:29.439 --> 00:21:30.159
 Why should

00:21:30.159 --> 00:21:30.519
 we give

00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:31.240
 ourselves to

00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:31.839
 this God?

00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:33.759
 Well,

00:21:33.779 --> 00:21:34.179
 the answer

00:21:34.179 --> 00:21:34.679
 is this,

00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:35.699
 because God

00:21:35.699 --> 00:21:36.740
 has given

00:21:36.740 --> 00:21:37.399
 himself

00:21:37.399 --> 00:21:38.339
 completely

00:21:38.339 --> 00:21:40.119
 to us.

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:42.219
 Two

00:21:42.219 --> 00:21:42.659
 things.

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:43.099
 First,

00:21:43.679 --> 00:21:44.639
 God is

00:21:44.639 --> 00:21:45.179
 jealous

00:21:45.179 --> 00:21:46.299
 for us.

00:21:46.299 --> 00:21:47.700
 look at

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:48.539
 verse 23.

00:21:50.159 --> 00:21:51.319
 Be careful

00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:51.940
 not to

00:21:51.940 --> 00:21:52.519
 forget the

00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:52.980
 covenant

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:54.359
 of the

00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:54.839
 Lord your

00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:55.559
 God that

00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:56.099
 he made

00:21:56.099 --> 00:21:56.680
 with you.

00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:57.639
 Do not

00:21:57.639 --> 00:21:58.099
 make for

00:21:58.099 --> 00:21:58.839
 yourselves an

00:21:58.839 --> 00:21:59.519
 idol in

00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:00.159
 the form of

00:22:00.159 --> 00:22:00.859
 anything the

00:22:00.859 --> 00:22:01.259
 Lord your

00:22:01.259 --> 00:22:01.779
 God has

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:02.180
 forbidden,

00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:03.299
 for the

00:22:03.299 --> 00:22:03.700
 Lord your

00:22:03.700 --> 00:22:04.259
 God is a

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:04.839
 consuming

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:05.460
 fire,

00:22:05.899 --> 00:22:06.619
 a jealous

00:22:06.619 --> 00:22:07.139
 God.

00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:09.119
 Now,

00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:09.659
 all of

00:22:09.659 --> 00:22:10.000
 this is

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:10.519
 said within

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:11.240
 the context

00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:11.919
 of the

00:22:11.919 --> 00:22:12.319
 covenant.

00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:13.059
 A

00:22:13.059 --> 00:22:13.659
 covenant is

00:22:13.659 --> 00:22:14.119
 God's

00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:14.539
 binding

00:22:14.539 --> 00:22:15.200
 commitment

00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:16.240
 to his

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:16.640
 people.

00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:17.100
 It's what

00:22:17.100 --> 00:22:17.779
 brings them

00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:18.440
 together and

00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:19.180
 unites them

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:19.620
 together.

00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:20.460
 So God

00:22:20.460 --> 00:22:20.880
 is saying

00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:21.220
 to them,

00:22:21.420 --> 00:22:22.019
 I have

00:22:22.019 --> 00:22:22.299
 given

00:22:22.299 --> 00:22:22.860
 myself

00:22:22.860 --> 00:22:23.720
 to you.

00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:25.160
 I am

00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:26.319
 bound to

00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:26.420
 you.

00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:26.819
 That's what

00:22:26.819 --> 00:22:27.360
 the covenant

00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:27.880
 is.

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:28.680
 I'm bound

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.279
 to you.

00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:30.460
 I am

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:31.180
 jealous

00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:32.360
 for you.

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:34.740
 Now,

00:22:34.819 --> 00:22:35.140
 we often

00:22:35.140 --> 00:22:35.980
 see jealousy

00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:37.900
 as something

00:22:37.900 --> 00:22:38.440
 that's quite

00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:39.019
 negative.

00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:41.080
 And we

00:22:41.080 --> 00:22:41.519
 tell our

00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:41.819
 children,

00:22:41.980 --> 00:22:42.200
 you're not

00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:42.500
 to be

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:42.960
 jealous.

00:22:43.299 --> 00:22:43.900
 I want

00:22:43.900 --> 00:22:44.600
 what you

00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:45.079
 have.

00:22:45.219 --> 00:22:45.819
 That's a

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:46.199
 negative

00:22:46.199 --> 00:22:46.759
 jealousy.

00:22:46.879 --> 00:22:47.199
 It's not

00:22:47.199 --> 00:22:47.659
 healthy.

00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:48.899
 But there's

00:22:48.899 --> 00:22:49.399
 also a

00:22:49.399 --> 00:22:49.799
 positive

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:50.379
 jealousy.

00:22:51.779 --> 00:22:52.519
 So let

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:52.819
 me give

00:22:52.819 --> 00:22:53.379
 an example

00:22:53.379 --> 00:22:53.759
 of a

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:54.079
 husband

00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:54.839
 and wife

00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:56.019
 who are

00:22:56.019 --> 00:22:56.419
 in that

00:22:56.419 --> 00:22:57.019
 loving,

00:22:57.740 --> 00:22:58.240
 passionate,

00:22:58.539 --> 00:22:58.939
 committed

00:22:58.939 --> 00:22:59.659
 relationship,

00:22:59.819 --> 00:23:00.399
 that covenant

00:23:00.399 --> 00:23:00.939
 where they

00:23:00.939 --> 00:23:01.699
 are bound

00:23:01.699 --> 00:23:02.459
 together.

00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:05.000
 Now,

00:23:05.059 --> 00:23:05.559
 that husband

00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:06.139
 and wife

00:23:06.139 --> 00:23:07.000
 don't share

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:07.759
 that intimate

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:09.079
 love with

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:09.899
 other people.

00:23:10.419 --> 00:23:11.139
 It's for

00:23:11.139 --> 00:23:11.699
 themselves.

00:23:11.700 --> 00:23:11.980
 themselves.

00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:14.779
 So if I

00:23:14.779 --> 00:23:15.480
 discovered

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:17.160
 Kirsty,

00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:18.299
 this isn't

00:23:18.299 --> 00:23:18.600
 true,

00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:20.279
 if I

00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:20.740
 discovered

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:21.380
 Kirsty was

00:23:21.380 --> 00:23:21.900
 giving her

00:23:21.900 --> 00:23:23.279
 attention to

00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:23.860
 some other

00:23:23.860 --> 00:23:24.140
 man,

00:23:24.180 --> 00:23:24.580
 if she was

00:23:24.580 --> 00:23:25.160
 walking into

00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:25.620
 another room

00:23:25.620 --> 00:23:26.500
 and spending

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:27.080
 all her time

00:23:27.080 --> 00:23:27.740
 talking to

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.160
 them,

00:23:29.580 --> 00:23:29.840
 well,

00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:30.140
 I would

00:23:30.140 --> 00:23:30.840
 become very

00:23:30.840 --> 00:23:31.319
 jealous.

00:23:32.080 --> 00:23:32.480
 I would

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:34.100
 become angry,

00:23:34.860 --> 00:23:35.440
 a right

00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.140
 kind of

00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:36.660
 anger,

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:37.600
 because in

00:23:37.600 --> 00:23:38.180
 marriage you

00:23:38.180 --> 00:23:38.820
 don't share

00:23:38.820 --> 00:23:39.500
 that same

00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:40.220
 intimate

00:23:40.220 --> 00:23:40.860
 love with

00:23:40.860 --> 00:23:41.299
 somebody

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:41.940
 else.

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:43.820
 My love

00:23:43.820 --> 00:23:44.240
 is for

00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:44.759
 Kirsty,

00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:46.360
 and her

00:23:46.360 --> 00:23:46.720
 love is

00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:47.200
 for me.

00:23:48.779 --> 00:23:49.519
 And that

00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:50.640
 love is a

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:51.380
 jealous love,

00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:51.840
 and we're

00:23:51.840 --> 00:23:52.480
 to protect

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:53.120
 that love.

00:23:54.360 --> 00:23:55.140
 So God's

00:23:55.140 --> 00:23:55.720
 word to us

00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:56.279
 is this,

00:23:57.420 --> 00:23:58.019
 I have

00:23:58.019 --> 00:23:58.640
 bound

00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:00.019
 myself to

00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:00.279
 you,

00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:01.080
 I am

00:24:01.080 --> 00:24:01.880
 passionately

00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:02.539
 committed

00:24:02.539 --> 00:24:03.180
 to you,

00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:03.880
 I am

00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:04.600
 jealous for

00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:04.720
 you,

00:24:04.840 --> 00:24:05.320
 I've given

00:24:05.320 --> 00:24:06.060
 my life

00:24:06.060 --> 00:24:06.580
 for you,

00:24:06.579 --> 00:24:07.500
 I don't

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:08.179
 share my

00:24:08.179 --> 00:24:08.879
 love easily

00:24:08.879 --> 00:24:09.480
 with other

00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:10.000
 people,

00:24:10.199 --> 00:24:10.720
 it's for

00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:11.139
 you.

00:24:12.659 --> 00:24:13.639
 So why,

00:24:14.500 --> 00:24:15.079
 going back

00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:15.480
 to verse

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:16.039
 23,

00:24:16.179 --> 00:24:16.759
 24,

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:17.879
 why would

00:24:17.879 --> 00:24:18.259
 you want

00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:18.659
 to give

00:24:18.659 --> 00:24:19.799
 yourself to

00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:20.879
 someone else

00:24:20.879 --> 00:24:21.939
 or something

00:24:21.939 --> 00:24:22.379
 else?

00:24:22.659 --> 00:24:23.699
 Why would

00:24:23.699 --> 00:24:24.399
 you replace

00:24:24.399 --> 00:24:24.779
 God?

00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:25.599
 Why would

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.059
 you have a

00:24:26.059 --> 00:24:26.899
 God substitute?

00:24:28.019 --> 00:24:28.720
 Idols will

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:29.439
 only corrupt

00:24:29.439 --> 00:24:29.859
 you and

00:24:29.859 --> 00:24:30.759
 destroy you,

00:24:31.159 --> 00:24:31.679
 but I'll

00:24:31.679 --> 00:24:32.359
 die for

00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:32.500
 you,

00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:32.879
 I'm

00:24:32.879 --> 00:24:33.519
 jealous for

00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:33.679
 you,

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.039
 I'm

00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:34.599
 bound

00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:35.679
 to you.

00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:39.220
 But not

00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:39.619
 only is

00:24:39.619 --> 00:24:39.919
 he a

00:24:39.919 --> 00:24:40.220
 jealous

00:24:40.220 --> 00:24:40.740
 God,

00:24:41.819 --> 00:24:42.740
 he is

00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:43.439
 merciful

00:24:43.439 --> 00:24:45.099
 to us.

00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:48.659
 God's

00:24:48.659 --> 00:24:49.099
 word is

00:24:49.099 --> 00:24:50.159
 so honest

00:24:50.159 --> 00:24:51.159
 about what

00:24:51.159 --> 00:24:51.460
 we are

00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:51.879
 like.

00:24:52.879 --> 00:24:53.220
 Look at

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:54.179
 verse 28.

00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:55.799
 Here Moses

00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:56.259
 actually

00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:56.859
 predicts,

00:24:56.859 --> 00:24:57.419
 having said

00:24:57.419 --> 00:24:57.720
 all of

00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:57.839
 that,

00:24:57.919 --> 00:24:58.679
 he predicts

00:24:58.679 --> 00:24:59.319
 the way

00:24:59.319 --> 00:24:59.859
 the people

00:24:59.859 --> 00:25:00.299
 are going

00:25:00.299 --> 00:25:00.899
 to go.

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:03.619
 There you

00:25:03.619 --> 00:25:04.879
 will worship

00:25:04.879 --> 00:25:05.759
 man-made

00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:06.439
 gods of

00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:06.799
 wood and

00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:07.220
 stone

00:25:07.220 --> 00:25:07.519
 which

00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:07.860
 cannot

00:25:07.860 --> 00:25:08.640
 see or

00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:09.680
 hear or

00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:10.320
 eat or

00:25:10.320 --> 00:25:10.920
 smell.

00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:12.220
 In other

00:25:12.220 --> 00:25:12.440
 words,

00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:12.700
 they're

00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:13.220
 powerless.

00:25:15.220 --> 00:25:15.820
 But if

00:25:15.820 --> 00:25:16.440
 from there

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:17.120
 you seek

00:25:17.120 --> 00:25:17.519
 the Lord

00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:18.120
 your God,

00:25:18.820 --> 00:25:19.480
 you will

00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:20.420
 find him

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:21.220
 if you

00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:21.779
 look for

00:25:21.779 --> 00:25:22.320
 him with

00:25:22.320 --> 00:25:22.880
 all your

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:23.539
 heart and

00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:24.200
 with all

00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:25.340
 your soul.

00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:26.940
 Verse 31,

00:25:27.340 --> 00:25:27.799
 for the

00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:28.340
 Lord your

00:25:28.340 --> 00:25:29.080
 God is

00:25:29.080 --> 00:25:29.900
 a merciful

00:25:29.900 --> 00:25:30.580
 God.

00:25:31.460 --> 00:25:31.900
 He will

00:25:31.900 --> 00:25:32.759
 not abandon

00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:33.700
 or destroy

00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:34.700
 you or

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:35.480
 forget the

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:35.900
 covenant

00:25:35.900 --> 00:25:36.460
 with your

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:37.180
 forefathers

00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:37.620
 which he

00:25:37.620 --> 00:25:38.339
 confirmed to

00:25:38.339 --> 00:25:39.160
 them by

00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:39.700
 oath.

00:25:41.539 --> 00:25:41.900
 God

00:25:41.900 --> 00:25:42.279
 doesn't

00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:42.740
 quickly

00:25:42.740 --> 00:25:43.620
 forget

00:25:43.620 --> 00:25:44.799
 his

00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:45.339
 commitment,

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:45.880
 his

00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:46.319
 covenant

00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:47.099
 to us.

00:25:48.059 --> 00:25:48.700
 In fact,

00:25:48.779 --> 00:25:49.039
 he will

00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:49.599
 do whatever

00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.099
 it takes

00:25:50.099 --> 00:25:50.779
 to keep

00:25:50.779 --> 00:25:51.039
 that

00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:51.539
 together.

00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:53.900
 Now

00:25:53.900 --> 00:25:54.160
 again,

00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:54.559
 to use

00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:55.259
 the illustration

00:25:55.259 --> 00:25:56.059
 of marriage,

00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:56.740
 the marriage

00:25:56.740 --> 00:25:57.339
 relationship,

00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:57.940
 the vows

00:25:57.940 --> 00:25:58.400
 for those

00:25:58.400 --> 00:25:58.720
 of you

00:25:58.720 --> 00:25:59.420
 who have

00:25:59.420 --> 00:25:59.980
 been married

00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:00.579
 or married

00:26:00.579 --> 00:26:01.539
 taken the

00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:02.779
 vow that

00:26:02.779 --> 00:26:03.680
 is eternal

00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:04.960
 till death

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:05.940
 us do

00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:06.579
 part.

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:08.460
 It's that

00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:08.940
 passionate

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:09.539
 commitment

00:26:09.539 --> 00:26:10.599
 to be bound

00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:11.700
 together forever

00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:12.500
 and never

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:13.120
 to break.

00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:16.480
 Now,

00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:17.279
 should I

00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:17.900
 fail in

00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:18.740
 my marriage

00:26:18.740 --> 00:26:21.079
 and should

00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:21.779
 I give

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:22.420
 my love

00:26:22.420 --> 00:26:23.140
 to another,

00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:26.519
 well,

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:26.819
 I would

00:26:26.819 --> 00:26:27.359
 deserve

00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:28.660
 to be

00:26:28.660 --> 00:26:29.359
 put out.

00:26:30.420 --> 00:26:31.160
 I would

00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:31.759
 deserve

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.379
 to be

00:26:32.379 --> 00:26:33.039
 rejected,

00:26:33.299 --> 00:26:34.759
 to leave

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:35.740
 one and

00:26:35.740 --> 00:26:36.299
 go to

00:26:36.299 --> 00:26:36.759
 another

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:38.279
 would be

00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:39.139
 breaking it.

00:26:39.259 --> 00:26:39.579
 I would

00:26:39.579 --> 00:26:40.039
 deserve

00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:40.579
 to be

00:26:40.579 --> 00:26:41.119
 rejected.

00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:43.940
 But if

00:26:43.940 --> 00:26:44.440
 Kirsty,

00:26:45.139 --> 00:26:45.720
 in keeping

00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:46.180
 with her

00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:47.279
 promise to

00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:47.940
 that covenant,

00:26:48.500 --> 00:26:49.119
 would take

00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:49.680
 me back

00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:50.119
 again,

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.059
 well,

00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:52.379
 that would

00:26:52.379 --> 00:26:53.200
 be sheer

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:54.119
 mercy.

00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:57.859
 So God

00:26:57.859 --> 00:26:58.359
 is saying

00:26:58.359 --> 00:26:58.779
 to us

00:26:58.779 --> 00:26:59.319
 in this,

00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:01.539
 when you

00:27:01.539 --> 00:27:02.799
 fail me,

00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:04.980
 because we

00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:05.299
 will,

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:06.700
 when you

00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:07.859
 replace me

00:27:07.859 --> 00:27:08.599
 with an

00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:09.039
 idol,

00:27:09.539 --> 00:27:10.079
 when you

00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:10.879
 set up a

00:27:10.879 --> 00:27:11.779
 God substitute

00:27:11.779 --> 00:27:12.259
 in your

00:27:12.259 --> 00:27:12.539
 life,

00:27:12.819 --> 00:27:13.299
 when you

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:13.859
 make your

00:27:13.859 --> 00:27:14.599
 children

00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:15.819
 more important

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:16.599
 to yourself

00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:17.480
 than me,

00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:18.180
 when you

00:27:18.180 --> 00:27:19.259
 make education

00:27:19.259 --> 00:27:19.859
 and your

00:27:19.859 --> 00:27:20.980
 career more

00:27:20.980 --> 00:27:22.160
 important than

00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:22.440
 me,

00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:23.119
 when your

00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:23.680
 happiness

00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:24.559
 becomes more

00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:25.059
 important,

00:27:25.339 --> 00:27:25.779
 when you

00:27:25.779 --> 00:27:26.759
 replace me

00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:27.480
 with something

00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:27.839
 else,

00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:28.660
 remember

00:27:28.660 --> 00:27:29.220
 this,

00:27:31.579 --> 00:27:32.119
 when you

00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:32.660
 turn back

00:27:32.660 --> 00:27:33.119
 to him

00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:35.299
 and look

00:27:35.299 --> 00:27:35.859
 for him,

00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:37.399
 verse 31,

00:27:38.259 --> 00:27:38.839
 remember

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:39.220
 this,

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:39.859
 the Lord

00:27:39.859 --> 00:27:40.619
 your God

00:27:40.619 --> 00:27:42.019
 is a

00:27:42.019 --> 00:27:42.940
 merciful God.

00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:44.279
 He will

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:45.200
 not abandon

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.160
 or destroy

00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:48.899
 you or

00:27:48.899 --> 00:27:49.680
 forget the

00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:50.579
 covenant with

00:27:50.579 --> 00:27:51.519
 your forefathers,

00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:52.599
 which he

00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:53.579
 confirmed to

00:27:53.579 --> 00:27:54.480
 them by

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:55.000
 oath.

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:58.500
 God has

00:27:58.500 --> 00:27:58.960
 made a

00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.319
 binding

00:27:59.319 --> 00:27:59.819
 commitment

00:27:59.819 --> 00:28:00.539
 to us.

00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:01.599
 He is

00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:02.460
 jealous for

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:02.839
 us.

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:04.019
 He is

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:04.660
 merciful

00:28:04.660 --> 00:28:05.879
 towards us.

00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:07.319
 And that

00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:07.899
 binding

00:28:07.899 --> 00:28:08.700
 commitment

00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:09.720
 has been

00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:11.000
 sealed now

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.720
 and for

00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:12.660
 all eternity

00:28:12.660 --> 00:28:14.079
 through the

00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:14.799
 death of

00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:15.460
 his son,

00:28:15.940 --> 00:28:16.220
 Jesus

00:28:16.220 --> 00:28:16.779
 Christ.

00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:16.859
 Christ.

00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:20.680
 So what

00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:21.059
 is our

00:28:21.059 --> 00:28:21.879
 response

00:28:21.879 --> 00:28:24.240
 to this

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:25.119
 amazing

00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:25.599
 God?

00:28:27.379 --> 00:28:27.799
 Well,

00:28:27.859 --> 00:28:28.099
 third,

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:28.639
 God's

00:28:28.639 --> 00:28:29.319
 gracious

00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:31.019
 demands

00:28:31.019 --> 00:28:31.940
 on his

00:28:31.940 --> 00:28:32.399
 people.

00:28:33.859 --> 00:28:34.339
 Look at

00:28:34.339 --> 00:28:35.160
 verse 33.

00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:41.980
 he's

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:42.500
 reminding

00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:42.980
 them of

00:28:42.980 --> 00:28:43.460
 all that

00:28:43.460 --> 00:28:43.860
 God has

00:28:43.860 --> 00:28:44.120
 done.

00:28:44.220 --> 00:28:44.420
 Has

00:28:44.420 --> 00:28:44.880
 any

00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:45.300
 other

00:28:45.300 --> 00:28:45.800
 people

00:28:45.800 --> 00:28:46.480
 heard

00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:47.080
 the

00:28:47.080 --> 00:28:47.380
 voice

00:28:47.380 --> 00:28:47.900
 of God

00:28:47.900 --> 00:28:48.440
 speaking

00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:49.080
 out of

00:28:49.080 --> 00:28:49.500
 fire

00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:50.019
 as you

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:50.279
 have

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:50.440
 and

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:50.800
 lived?

00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:52.120
 Has

00:28:52.120 --> 00:28:52.420
 any

00:28:52.420 --> 00:28:52.940
 God

00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:53.279
 ever

00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:53.620
 tried

00:28:53.620 --> 00:28:53.820
 to

00:28:53.820 --> 00:28:54.120
 take

00:28:54.120 --> 00:28:54.279
 you

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:54.519
 for

00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:55.080
 himself

00:28:55.080 --> 00:28:55.540
 one

00:28:55.540 --> 00:28:56.000
 nation

00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:56.660
 out of

00:28:56.660 --> 00:28:57.019
 another

00:28:57.019 --> 00:28:57.460
 nation

00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:57.759
 by

00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:58.700
 testings,

00:28:58.820 --> 00:28:59.019
 by

00:28:59.019 --> 00:28:59.860

00:28:59.860 --> 00:29:00.560
 signs and

00:29:00.560 --> 00:29:00.960
 wonders,

00:29:01.420 --> 00:29:02.220

00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:03.299
 by a

00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:05.460

00:29:09.420 --> 00:29:10.200
 like all

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:10.680
 the things

00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:11.039
 the Lord

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.480
 your God

00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:11.880
 did for

00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:12.140
 you in

00:29:12.140 --> 00:29:12.400
 Egypt

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:12.920

00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:15.900
 Has

 Jesus

00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:03.240

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:19.160
 God.

00:30:20.740 --> 00:30:21.220
 And

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:21.799
 by a

00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:22.160

00:30:27.120 --> 00:30:27.600

00:30:27.600 --> 00:30:28.079
 on the

00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:28.500
 cross

00:30:28.500 --> 00:30:29.059

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:30.420
 me.

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:31.819
 And

00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:31.980
 he

00:30:31.980 --> 00:30:32.220
 took

00:30:32.220 --> 00:30:32.440
 the

00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:32.920

00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:34.299
 took

00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:34.759
 the

00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:35.380
 fire

00:30:35.380 --> 00:30:35.720
 of

00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:36.140
 God

00:30:36.140 --> 00:30:36.660
 which

00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:37.200
 fell

00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:37.619
 on

00:30:37.619 --> 00:30:38.099
 Jesus

00:30:38.099 --> 00:30:39.519

00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:39.859

00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.460

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:44.279
 He

00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:44.700
 was the

00:30:44.700 --> 00:30:44.920
 one

00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:45.599
 cast out

00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:46.000

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:52.319
 We

00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:52.519
 don't

00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:53.000
 find

 Well,
