00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.679
 90 in the church bibles

00:00:01.679 --> 00:00:10.859
 so deuteronomy chapter 10 and starting in verse 12

00:00:10.859 --> 00:00:19.000
 and now israel what does the lord your god ask of you but to fear the lord your god

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:25.920
 to walk in all his ways to love him to serve the lord your god with all your heart and with all

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.980
 your soul and to observe the lord's commands and decrees that i am giving you today for your own

00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:38.820
 good to the lord your god belong the heavens even the highest heavens the earth and everything in it

00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:45.439
 yet the lord set his affection on your forefathers and loved them and he chose you their descendants

00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:52.140
 above all the nations as it is today circumcise your hearts therefore and do not be stiff-necked

00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:58.939
 any longer for the lord your god is god of gods and lord of lords the great god mighty and awesome

00:00:58.939 --> 00:01:05.760
 who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes he defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:12.200
 and loves the alien giving him food and clothing and you are to love those who are aliens for you

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:19.240
 yourselves were aliens in egypt fear the lord your god and serve him hold fast to him and take your

00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:26.039
 oaths in his name he is your praise he is your god who performed for you those great and awesome

00:01:26.039 --> 00:01:33.099
 wonders you saw with your own eyes your forefathers who went down into egypt were 70 in all and now the

00:01:33.099 --> 00:01:42.419
 lord your god has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky and following on in chapter 11 verse 1

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:50.900
 love the lord your god and keep his requirements his decrees his laws and his commands always

00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:58.420
 remember today that your children were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the lord

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:05.799
 your god his majesty his mighty hand his outstretched armed the signs he performed and the things he did in

00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:11.919
 the heart of egypt both to pharaoh king of egypt and to his whole country what he did to the egyptian

00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:17.859
 army to its horses and chariots how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the red sea as they were

00:02:17.859 --> 00:02:26.139
 pursuing pursuing you and how the lord brought lasting ruin on them it was not your children who saw what he

00:02:26.139 --> 00:02:34.079
 did for you in the desert until you arrived in this place and what he did to dathan and arabum sons of

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:40.740
 elia the reubenite when the earth opened its mouth right in the middle of all israel and swallowed them

00:02:40.740 --> 00:02:48.060
 up with their households their tents and every living thing that belonged to them but it was your own eyes

00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:54.120
 that saw all these great things the lord has done now over to verse 16

00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:02.680
 be careful or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them

00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:09.580
 then the lord's anger will burn against you and he will shut the heavens so that it will not rain

00:03:09.580 --> 00:03:16.439
 and the ground will yield no produce and you will soon perish from the good land the lord is giving you

00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:24.260
 fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds tie them as symbols on your hands

00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:31.560
 bind them on your foreheads teach them to your children talking about them when you sit at home

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:36.379
 and when you walk along the road when you lie down and when you get up

00:03:36.379 --> 00:03:40.680
 write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:48.300
 so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the lord swore to give to your

00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:53.360
 forefathers as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth

00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:01.580
 well keep it open that those two readings chapter 10 and chapter 11

00:04:01.580 --> 00:04:11.500
 and let's pray

00:04:11.500 --> 00:04:23.980
 father thank you for your words thank you for the book of deuteronomy

00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:31.459
 thank you for all that we've been able to to learn and to hear about you

00:04:31.459 --> 00:04:35.839
 and we pray that you will continue to teach us

00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.039
 through this great book

00:04:38.039 --> 00:04:40.459
 teach us about god

00:04:40.459 --> 00:04:44.079
 teach us about ourselves

00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:48.599
 and teach us about the lord jesus

00:04:48.599 --> 00:04:51.319
 and his spirit

00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.439
 so please work amongst us

00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.620
 and we pray this in jesus name

00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:00.180
 amen

00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:05.860
 well deuteronomy as we have been

00:05:05.860 --> 00:05:09.680
 seeing in our studies is a collection of sermons

00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:14.620
 or a series of talks that's been given by moses to god's people

00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:17.180
 just before moses dies

00:05:17.180 --> 00:05:20.199
 and the people cross over into the promised land

00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.139
 it's his final his farewell speech

00:05:23.139 --> 00:05:27.079
 and in his sermons he's been telling the people

00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.300
 practically right up to chapter 10

00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:32.060
 of all the things that god has been doing for them

00:05:32.060 --> 00:05:35.259
 and all the things that god will do for them

00:05:35.259 --> 00:05:39.459
 but now as we get to chapter 10 and chapter 11

00:05:39.459 --> 00:05:42.060
 the emphasis has begun to shift

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:45.419
 the focus is no longer on

00:05:45.419 --> 00:05:47.919
 what god has done for us

00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.100
 but what is our response

00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:53.699
 to all that god has done for us

00:05:53.699 --> 00:05:55.060
 in other words

00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:57.100
 how are they going to live in the land

00:05:57.100 --> 00:05:58.860
 what's their behavior going to be

00:05:58.860 --> 00:06:00.660
 what does god expect of them

00:06:00.660 --> 00:06:02.740
 as they go into the land

00:06:02.740 --> 00:06:05.980
 well we're going to unpack this

00:06:05.980 --> 00:06:07.759
 by looking at three things

00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:11.200
 what god demands from us

00:06:11.200 --> 00:06:15.139
 why god demands of us

00:06:15.139 --> 00:06:18.919
 and how we respond to god's demands

00:06:18.919 --> 00:06:21.240
 so what god demands from his people

00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.939
 why god can demand it

00:06:23.939 --> 00:06:29.419
 and how we are to respond to his demands

00:06:29.419 --> 00:06:31.959
 so first

00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.339
 what god demands from us

00:06:35.339 --> 00:06:38.139
 that's the question that is being asked

00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:39.719
 right at the very beginning

00:06:39.719 --> 00:06:41.319
 in chapter 12

00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.779
 in fact if you looked at the catechism

00:06:43.779 --> 00:06:44.759
 we asked the question

00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.300
 what does the law of god require of us

00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:50.259
 it's the question that we read here in verse 12

00:06:50.259 --> 00:06:52.040
 and now oh israel

00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.699
 what does the lord your god ask of you

00:06:54.699 --> 00:06:58.319
 what is it that god requires

00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.620
 what does he expect of his people

00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:03.219
 well look at the rest of verse 12

00:07:03.219 --> 00:07:06.159
 what does the lord your god ask of you

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.320
 but to fear the lord your god

00:07:08.320 --> 00:07:10.980
 to walk in all his ways

00:07:10.980 --> 00:07:12.820
 to love him

00:07:12.820 --> 00:07:15.320
 to serve the lord your god

00:07:15.320 --> 00:07:16.420
 with all your heart

00:07:16.420 --> 00:07:17.580
 and with all your soul

00:07:17.580 --> 00:07:20.740
 and to observe the lord's commands

00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:23.020
 and decrees that i am giving you today

00:07:23.020 --> 00:07:24.680
 for your own good

00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.000
 and this theme is repeated

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:29.440
 throughout these two chapters

00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:31.580
 so chapter 11 verse 1

00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:34.439
 love the lord your god

00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.079
 and keep his requirements

00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:38.300
 his decrees

00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:39.079
 his laws

00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.379
 and his commands always

00:07:41.379 --> 00:07:43.500
 or verse 31

00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:47.740
 you are about to cross the jordan

00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:49.139
 to enter and take possession

00:07:49.139 --> 00:07:49.839
 of the land

00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:51.419
 the lord your god is giving you

00:07:51.419 --> 00:07:53.419
 when you have taken it over

00:07:53.419 --> 00:07:54.459
 and are living there

00:07:54.459 --> 00:07:56.539
 be sure that you obey

00:07:56.539 --> 00:07:57.740
 all the decrees

00:07:57.740 --> 00:07:58.399
 and laws

00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.379
 that i am setting before you today

00:08:00.379 --> 00:08:04.240
 now this is nothing less

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:05.339
 than a demand

00:08:05.339 --> 00:08:07.540
 for wholehearted loyalty

00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:09.759
 total commitment

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.379
 and devoted allegiance

00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:13.459
 to god

00:08:13.459 --> 00:08:15.199
 and to nobody else

00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:19.360
 it's as if god is making a claim

00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:20.680
 on our lives

00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.219
 he's making it crystal clear

00:08:22.219 --> 00:08:26.040
 that our life is no longer our own

00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.139
 it now belongs exclusively

00:08:29.139 --> 00:08:30.659
 to god

00:08:30.659 --> 00:08:34.179
 and we mustn't think

00:08:34.179 --> 00:08:35.879
 that this is an optional extra

00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:36.860
 for the very king

00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:38.939
 this is what god demands

00:08:38.939 --> 00:08:40.439
 of all his people

00:08:40.439 --> 00:08:41.399
 it was spoken to

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:42.879
 the whole gathering

00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.059
 it's not unlike

00:08:46.059 --> 00:08:47.360
 the relationship

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:48.720
 between a commander

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.679
 and a soldier

00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.340
 or a husband

00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:53.259
 and a wife

00:08:53.259 --> 00:08:54.720
 let me use these

00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:55.840
 as illustrations

00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:56.620
 to show

00:08:56.620 --> 00:08:58.120
 a commander

00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:59.680
 because of his very position

00:08:59.680 --> 00:09:01.180
 in the army

00:09:01.180 --> 00:09:02.440
 has the right

00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:03.360
 to demand

00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.379
 of his soldiers

00:09:04.379 --> 00:09:06.700
 that they obey him

00:09:06.700 --> 00:09:07.899
 if he gives a command

00:09:07.899 --> 00:09:09.160
 the expectation

00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:11.000
 is whenever he gives an order

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:12.960
 that they will be carried out

00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:13.780
 without delay

00:09:13.780 --> 00:09:16.860
 a wife

00:09:16.860 --> 00:09:19.000
 because of her relationship

00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:20.019
 to her husband

00:09:20.019 --> 00:09:22.100
 has a right

00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:23.379
 to receive

00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:25.000
 from her husband

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.600
 to receive love

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.340
 there is an expectation

00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:30.519
 that she will

00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:32.540
 experience in her life

00:09:32.540 --> 00:09:33.680
 his devotion

00:09:33.680 --> 00:09:35.259
 and his loyalty

00:09:35.259 --> 00:09:38.879
 now because of the relationship

00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:39.720
 that exists

00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:40.659
 between god

00:09:40.659 --> 00:09:41.540
 and his people

00:09:41.540 --> 00:09:43.800
 god demands

00:09:43.800 --> 00:09:44.440
 our

00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:45.840
 loving obedience

00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.600
 and our

00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:48.680
 obedient love

00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:49.979
 it is nothing less

00:09:49.979 --> 00:09:50.779
 than a demand

00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:51.739
 for wholehearted

00:09:51.739 --> 00:09:52.459
 loyalty

00:09:52.459 --> 00:09:54.599
 total commitment

00:09:54.599 --> 00:09:56.659
 and devoted

00:09:56.659 --> 00:09:57.239
 allegiance

00:09:57.239 --> 00:09:58.179
 to god

00:09:58.179 --> 00:10:00.179
 and to no one else

00:10:00.179 --> 00:10:04.399
 so that is what god

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:05.879
 demands of us

00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:06.859
 he is demanding

00:10:06.859 --> 00:10:08.120
 our whole life

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.039
 everything that we are

00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:11.019
 our heart

00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:11.559
 soul

00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:12.339
 and mind

00:10:12.339 --> 00:10:14.399
 to love him

00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.139
 above all else

00:10:16.139 --> 00:10:19.559
 now second question

00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:20.100
 why

00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:22.000
 does god demand

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:22.379
 of us

00:10:22.379 --> 00:10:23.080
 like this

00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.779
 who does he think

00:10:24.779 --> 00:10:25.620
 he is

00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:26.399
 to demand

00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:26.819
 of us

00:10:26.819 --> 00:10:27.840
 his total

00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:28.340
 allegiance

00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:29.840
 and all our love

00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:31.500
 well the reason

00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:32.259
 god can make

00:10:32.259 --> 00:10:33.100
 such demands

00:10:33.100 --> 00:10:33.840
 is because

00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.460
 of who he is

00:10:35.460 --> 00:10:36.919
 look at verse 14

00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.559
 to the lord

00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:40.220
 your god

00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:41.319
 belong the heavens

00:10:41.319 --> 00:10:43.279
 even the highest

00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:43.779
 heavens

00:10:43.779 --> 00:10:44.600
 the earth

00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.200
 and everything

00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:46.820
 in it

00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:48.200
 who is saying

00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:48.860
 that god

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:50.700
 owns the entire

00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:51.600
 universe

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:53.519
 every square

00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:54.100
 inch

00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:55.100
 of the universe

00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:55.720
 belongs

00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:56.639
 to god

00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:57.100
 there is not

00:10:57.100 --> 00:10:57.860
 one blade

00:10:57.860 --> 00:10:58.680
 of grass

00:10:58.680 --> 00:11:00.060
 there isn't

00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:01.000
 one galaxy

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:01.759
 in space

00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.360
 that god

00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:03.240
 cannot say

00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:04.420
 this is mine

00:11:04.420 --> 00:11:06.440
 it all

00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:07.000
 belongs

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:07.560
 to him

00:11:07.560 --> 00:11:09.500
 and we

00:11:09.500 --> 00:11:09.960
 belong

00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:10.519
 to him

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:14.699
 but we

00:11:14.699 --> 00:11:15.159
 should never

00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:16.100
 think of god

00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:16.620
 as some

00:11:16.620 --> 00:11:17.299
 distant

00:11:17.299 --> 00:11:18.019
 dictator

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:19.059
 who's sitting

00:11:19.059 --> 00:11:19.980
 on his throne

00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:21.199
 away out there

00:11:21.199 --> 00:11:21.740
 somewhere

00:11:21.740 --> 00:11:22.980
 abusing his

00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:23.480
 power

00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:24.559
 issuing these

00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:25.000
 orders

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:25.740
 that we love

00:11:25.740 --> 00:11:26.019
 him

00:11:26.019 --> 00:11:26.740
 just to

00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:27.220
 satisfy

00:11:27.220 --> 00:11:27.819
 his own

00:11:27.819 --> 00:11:28.299
 ego

00:11:28.299 --> 00:11:30.139
 no god

00:11:30.139 --> 00:11:30.919
 can demand

00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:31.500
 of us

00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:32.779
 because

00:11:32.779 --> 00:11:34.860
 of what he

00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:35.519
 has done

00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:36.960
 for us

00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.800
 he owns

00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:39.259
 everything

00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:39.940
 we belong

00:11:39.940 --> 00:11:40.540
 to him

00:11:40.540 --> 00:11:41.600
 but he

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:42.019
 has also

00:11:42.019 --> 00:11:42.320
 done

00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:42.780
 something

00:11:42.780 --> 00:11:43.480
 amazing

00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:44.420
 for us

00:11:44.420 --> 00:11:45.780
 two things

00:11:45.780 --> 00:11:46.500
 first we have

00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:47.060
 come to know

00:11:47.060 --> 00:11:47.879
 his grace

00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.320
 everything belongs

00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:50.900
 to god

00:11:50.900 --> 00:11:51.280
 yet

00:11:51.280 --> 00:11:51.860
 look at

00:11:51.860 --> 00:11:52.600
 verse 15

00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.639
 yet the lord

00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:56.900
 set his affection

00:11:56.900 --> 00:11:57.639
 on your

00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:58.560
 forefathers

00:11:58.559 --> 00:11:59.639
 and he

00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:00.479
 loved them

00:12:00.479 --> 00:12:01.579
 and he

00:12:01.579 --> 00:12:02.199
 chose

00:12:02.199 --> 00:12:02.739
 you

00:12:02.739 --> 00:12:03.539
 their

00:12:03.539 --> 00:12:04.139
 descendants

00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:05.079
 above all

00:12:05.079 --> 00:12:05.719
 the nations

00:12:05.719 --> 00:12:06.859
 as it is

00:12:06.859 --> 00:12:07.379
 today

00:12:07.379 --> 00:12:10.500
 you see

00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:11.199
 god isn't

00:12:11.199 --> 00:12:11.779
 cold

00:12:11.779 --> 00:12:12.639
 and distant

00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:14.299
 he has

00:12:14.299 --> 00:12:15.099
 actively

00:12:15.099 --> 00:12:16.559
 intervened

00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:17.059
 into this

00:12:17.059 --> 00:12:17.459
 world

00:12:17.459 --> 00:12:18.099
 and into

00:12:18.099 --> 00:12:18.759
 our lives

00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:19.339
 and he

00:12:19.339 --> 00:12:20.059
 has actively

00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:21.079
 loved

00:12:21.079 --> 00:12:21.419
 you

00:12:21.419 --> 00:12:22.719
 he has

00:12:22.719 --> 00:12:23.519
 reached down

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:24.259
 as it says

00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:25.500
 in verse 15

00:12:25.500 --> 00:12:26.819
 and he has

00:12:26.819 --> 00:12:27.879
 chosen you

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:28.519
 he has set

00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:29.259
 his affection

00:12:29.259 --> 00:12:29.919
 on you

00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:30.759
 he is

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.399
 delighted

00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:32.460
 in calling

00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:32.860
 you

00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:33.740
 and giving

00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:34.259

00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:34.659
 love

00:12:34.659 --> 00:12:35.559

00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:36.179
 personal

00:12:36.179 --> 00:12:37.379
 and intimate

00:12:37.379 --> 00:12:39.279
 and we

00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:39.899
 must never

00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:40.700
 think that

00:12:40.700 --> 00:12:41.259
 this is in

00:12:41.259 --> 00:12:42.000
 response

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.080
 to what we

00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:43.500
 have done

00:12:43.500 --> 00:12:44.100
 or who we

00:12:44.100 --> 00:12:44.480
 are

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:45.539
 no look

00:12:45.539 --> 00:12:45.879
 at verse

00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:46.559
 17

00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.340
 for the lord

00:12:48.340 --> 00:12:48.960
 your god

00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:49.620
 is god

00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:50.200
 of gods

00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:50.899
 and lord

00:12:50.899 --> 00:12:51.439
 of lords

00:12:51.439 --> 00:12:52.179
 the great

00:12:52.179 --> 00:12:52.580
 god

00:12:52.580 --> 00:12:53.460
 mighty

00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:54.480
 and awesome

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:55.559

00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:56.879
 no partiality

00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:57.899
 and accepts

00:12:57.899 --> 00:12:59.139
 no brides

00:12:59.139 --> 00:13:00.939
 so god

00:13:00.939 --> 00:13:01.639
 is not

00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:02.340
 responding

00:13:02.340 --> 00:13:03.059
 to our

00:13:03.059 --> 00:13:03.500
 love

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:05.159
 he's not

00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:05.720
 reacting

00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:06.519
 to our

00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:07.139
 obedience

00:13:07.139 --> 00:13:09.059
 he shows

00:13:09.059 --> 00:13:10.480
 no partiality

00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:11.240
 god

00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:12.059
 loves us

00:13:12.059 --> 00:13:12.980
 he sets

00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:13.700
 his affection

00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:14.500
 upon us

00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:15.460
 simply

00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:16.820
 because

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:17.580
 he loves

00:13:17.580 --> 00:13:18.080
 us

00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:19.500
 it is

00:13:19.500 --> 00:13:20.240
 because of

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:20.720
 god's

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:21.200
 grace

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.399
 that we

00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:22.879
 are his

00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:23.759
 treasured

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:24.299
 possession

00:13:24.299 --> 00:13:26.679
 now this

00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:27.219
 grace

00:13:27.219 --> 00:13:28.679
 is not

00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:29.259
 just a

00:13:29.259 --> 00:13:29.659
 thought

00:13:29.659 --> 00:13:30.740
 or an

00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:31.179
 idea

00:13:31.179 --> 00:13:31.599
 that we

00:13:31.599 --> 00:13:31.899
 have

00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:32.319
 kind of

00:13:32.319 --> 00:13:32.659
 a way

00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:33.099
 out there

00:13:33.099 --> 00:13:33.579
 separate

00:13:33.579 --> 00:13:34.259
 from us

00:13:34.259 --> 00:13:35.139
 it has

00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:35.359
 been

00:13:35.359 --> 00:13:36.240
 experienced

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:37.479
 in our

00:13:37.479 --> 00:13:38.059
 lives

00:13:38.059 --> 00:13:38.979
 it is

00:13:38.979 --> 00:13:39.500
 grace

00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:41.159
 experienced

00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:42.459
 look at

00:13:42.459 --> 00:13:43.139
 chapter 11

00:13:43.139 --> 00:13:43.819
 verse 2

00:13:43.819 --> 00:13:47.799
 remember

00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:48.379
 today

00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:50.019
 that your

00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:50.599
 children

00:13:50.599 --> 00:13:51.939
 were not

00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:52.600
 the ones

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:53.360
 who saw

00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:54.980
 and experienced

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:55.740
 the discipline

00:13:55.740 --> 00:13:56.440
 of the lord

00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:57.080
 your god

00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:58.280
 his majesty

00:13:58.280 --> 00:13:59.600
 his mighty

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:00.040
 hand

00:14:00.040 --> 00:14:01.040
 his outstretched

00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:01.400
 arm

00:14:01.400 --> 00:14:02.380
 the signs

00:14:02.380 --> 00:14:03.100
 he performed

00:14:03.100 --> 00:14:03.820
 and the things

00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:04.260
 he did

00:14:04.260 --> 00:14:05.320
 in the heart

00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:05.920
 of egypt

00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:07.140
 both to pharaoh

00:14:07.140 --> 00:14:07.940
 king of egypt

00:14:07.940 --> 00:14:08.560
 and to his

00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:09.380
 whole country

00:14:09.380 --> 00:14:11.840
 verse 5

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:13.180
 it was not

00:14:13.180 --> 00:14:13.900
 to your

00:14:13.900 --> 00:14:14.480
 children

00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.840
 who saw

00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.820
 what he did

00:14:16.820 --> 00:14:17.300
 for you

00:14:17.300 --> 00:14:18.080
 in the desert

00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:18.780
 until you

00:14:18.780 --> 00:14:19.320
 arrived

00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:20.060
 at this

00:14:20.060 --> 00:14:20.600
 place

00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.899
 verse 7

00:14:22.899 --> 00:14:23.840
 but it

00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:24.800
 was your

00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:26.180
 own eyes

00:14:26.180 --> 00:14:27.220
 that saw

00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:28.200
 all these

00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:29.100
 great things

00:14:29.100 --> 00:14:30.259
 that the lord

00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:31.259
 has done

00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:31.800
 for you

00:14:31.800 --> 00:14:32.820
 you see

00:14:32.820 --> 00:14:33.620
 god's grace

00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:34.120
 is not

00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:34.620
 some

00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:35.659
 hand me

00:14:35.659 --> 00:14:35.980
 down

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:36.440
 memory

00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:36.980
 it's not

00:14:36.980 --> 00:14:37.519
 a second

00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:37.920
 hand

00:14:37.920 --> 00:14:38.580
 experience

00:14:38.580 --> 00:14:39.600
 that gets

00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:40.060
 passed

00:14:40.060 --> 00:14:40.659
 along the

00:14:40.659 --> 00:14:41.100
 family

00:14:41.100 --> 00:14:43.000
 this isn't

00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.159
 somebody else's

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:44.740
 story

00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:45.720
 that we have

00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:46.320
 to try

00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:46.960
 and relate

00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:47.279
 to

00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:48.720
 it is

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:49.080
 something

00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:49.580
 that we

00:14:49.580 --> 00:14:49.759
 can

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.740
 experience

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:51.620
 personally

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:52.439
 in our

00:14:52.439 --> 00:14:53.039
 own lives

00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:53.639
 verse 7

00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:54.279
 he says

00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:54.559
 to the

00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:54.840
 people

00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:55.220
 it was

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:55.620
 with your

00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:56.720
 own eyes

00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:57.980
 that you

00:14:57.980 --> 00:14:58.679
 saw all

00:14:58.679 --> 00:14:59.240
 these great

00:14:59.240 --> 00:14:59.779
 things

00:14:59.779 --> 00:15:00.439
 that the

00:15:00.439 --> 00:15:01.019
 lord has

00:15:01.019 --> 00:15:01.379
 done

00:15:01.379 --> 00:15:03.100
 he had

00:15:03.100 --> 00:15:03.600
 rescued

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:04.179
 them from

00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:04.740
 egypt

00:15:04.740 --> 00:15:05.480
 he had

00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:06.080
 provided

00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:06.700
 for them

00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:07.159
 in the

00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:07.580
 desert

00:15:07.580 --> 00:15:08.659
 he spared

00:15:08.659 --> 00:15:09.399
 their lives

00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:09.779
 when they

00:15:09.779 --> 00:15:10.279
 grumbled

00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:11.059
 and complained

00:15:11.059 --> 00:15:11.519
 and they

00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:12.580
 disobeyed

00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:14.360
 this is

00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:14.819
 not the

00:15:14.819 --> 00:15:15.500
 experience

00:15:15.500 --> 00:15:16.200
 of someone

00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:16.639
 else

00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:17.480
 somewhere

00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:18.080
 else

00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:19.180
 this was

00:15:19.180 --> 00:15:19.639
 their

00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:20.240
 experience

00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:20.840
 this was

00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:21.220
 their

00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:21.759
 story

00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:22.460
 this was

00:15:22.460 --> 00:15:22.860
 their

00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:23.259
 life

00:15:23.259 --> 00:15:24.060
 and they

00:15:24.060 --> 00:15:24.560
 knew

00:15:24.560 --> 00:15:25.139
 god's

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:25.720
 act of

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:26.080
 love

00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:26.779
 in their

00:15:26.779 --> 00:15:27.300
 lives

00:15:27.300 --> 00:15:28.500
 first hand

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:31.120
 and it is

00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:31.639
 no different

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:32.440
 for us

00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:34.560
 god's grace

00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:35.320
 is experienced

00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:36.399
 in our lives

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:37.139
 every single

00:15:37.139 --> 00:15:37.580
 day

00:15:37.580 --> 00:15:39.759
 even this

00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:40.320
 very day

00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:40.960
 we've known

00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:41.920
 his grace

00:15:41.920 --> 00:15:42.300
 to us

00:15:42.300 --> 00:15:42.899
 in providing

00:15:42.899 --> 00:15:43.320
 us with

00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:43.759
 the food

00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.100
 that we

00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:44.320
 eat

00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:44.900
 the homes

00:15:44.900 --> 00:15:45.280
 that we

00:15:45.280 --> 00:15:45.700
 live in

00:15:45.700 --> 00:15:46.660
 the families

00:15:46.660 --> 00:15:47.040
 that we

00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:47.260
 have

00:15:47.260 --> 00:15:47.879
 the friends

00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:48.280
 that we

00:15:48.280 --> 00:15:48.740
 have

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:50.720
 the tap

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:51.500
 the water

00:15:51.500 --> 00:15:51.900
 that we

00:15:51.900 --> 00:15:52.620
 have from

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:52.960
 the tap

00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:53.680
 all of

00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:54.300
 these things

00:15:54.300 --> 00:15:55.280
 are signs

00:15:55.280 --> 00:15:55.900
 of god's

00:15:55.900 --> 00:15:56.340
 abundant

00:15:56.340 --> 00:15:57.000
 grace to

00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:57.180
 us

00:15:57.180 --> 00:15:57.740
 and we

00:15:57.740 --> 00:15:58.200
 have them

00:15:58.200 --> 00:15:59.220
 every single

00:15:59.220 --> 00:15:59.560
 day

00:15:59.560 --> 00:16:00.120
 and they

00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:00.820
 just bypass

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:01.440
 us without

00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:02.480
 any thought

00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.560
 but yet

00:16:04.560 --> 00:16:05.280
 they are all

00:16:05.280 --> 00:16:05.920
 god's good

00:16:05.920 --> 00:16:06.560
 gifts to

00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:07.000
 us

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.780
 and we

00:16:08.780 --> 00:16:10.100
 experience it

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:12.120
 but above

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:12.540
 all of

00:16:12.540 --> 00:16:12.840
 this

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:14.540
 we experience

00:16:14.540 --> 00:16:15.420
 the rescue

00:16:15.420 --> 00:16:16.000
 of god

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.560
 through his

00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:17.320
 son jesus

00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:17.960
 christ who

00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:18.600
 has forgiven

00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:19.519
 us and

00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:20.300
 who accepts

00:16:20.300 --> 00:16:21.100
 us and

00:16:21.100 --> 00:16:21.960
 welcomes us

00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:22.519
 into his

00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:23.159
 family to

00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:24.100
 be his

00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:24.920
 very children

00:16:24.920 --> 00:16:26.700
 he has

00:16:26.700 --> 00:16:27.600
 provided us

00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:28.159
 with all

00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:28.480
 that we

00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:29.460
 have through

00:16:29.460 --> 00:16:30.480
 jesus he

00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:31.379
 cares for us

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:32.019
 he treasures

00:16:32.019 --> 00:16:32.720
 for us

00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:33.540
 the bible

00:16:33.540 --> 00:16:34.180
 tells us

00:16:34.180 --> 00:16:34.779
 that he

00:16:34.779 --> 00:16:35.360
 has provided

00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:36.000
 us with

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.160
 everything that

00:16:37.160 --> 00:16:37.759
 we need

00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:38.600
 for life

00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:39.660
 and godliness

00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:41.740
 god through

00:16:41.740 --> 00:16:42.279
 his grace

00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:42.819
 gives us

00:16:42.819 --> 00:16:43.659
 everything

00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:45.139
 he doesn't

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:45.879
 treat us

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.539
 as our

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:47.299
 sins deserve

00:16:47.299 --> 00:16:48.120
 when we

00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:49.159
 rebel against

00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:49.559
 him

00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:52.019
 and yes we

00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:52.539
 might say

00:16:52.539 --> 00:16:53.100
 okay the

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:53.620
 death and

00:16:53.620 --> 00:16:54.240
 the resurrection

00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:54.959
 and the life

00:16:54.959 --> 00:16:56.039
 of jesus may

00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:56.559
 have been an

00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:57.059
 event in

00:16:57.059 --> 00:16:57.819
 history a way

00:16:57.819 --> 00:16:58.419
 back there

00:16:58.419 --> 00:16:58.919
 somewhere

00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:00.759
 but it's

00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:01.159
 not a

00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:01.879
 hand-me-down

00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:02.980
 experience of

00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:03.879
 somebody else

00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:05.539
 no through

00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:06.619
 faith in

00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:07.180
 jesus

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:08.759
 the effects

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:09.519
 of all

00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:10.180
 that jesus

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:10.779
 has done

00:17:10.779 --> 00:17:11.559
 for us

00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:12.619
 can be

00:17:12.619 --> 00:17:13.539
 experienced

00:17:13.539 --> 00:17:14.019
 in our

00:17:14.019 --> 00:17:14.460
 lives

00:17:14.460 --> 00:17:15.759
 every single

00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:16.160
 day

00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:17.720
 we can

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:18.180
 own

00:17:18.180 --> 00:17:18.839
 as it

00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:19.039
 were

00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:19.720
 verse 7

00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:20.400
 it's with

00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:21.200
 our own

00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:21.879
 eyes

00:17:21.879 --> 00:17:23.259
 that we

00:17:23.259 --> 00:17:23.839
 have seen

00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:24.680
 these great

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:25.319
 things

00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:26.180
 that the

00:17:26.180 --> 00:17:26.519
 lord

00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:27.619
 has done

00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:29.579
 this isn't

00:17:29.579 --> 00:17:30.700
 somebody else's

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:31.259
 story

00:17:31.259 --> 00:17:32.440
 this is

00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:33.500
 our story

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:34.639
 god's grace

00:17:34.639 --> 00:17:35.319
 is known

00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:35.819
 today

00:17:35.819 --> 00:17:36.899
 and it

00:17:36.899 --> 00:17:37.359
 is something

00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:38.379
 to enjoy

00:17:38.379 --> 00:17:39.179
 today

00:17:39.179 --> 00:17:40.619
 and this

00:17:40.619 --> 00:17:41.019
 is the

00:17:41.019 --> 00:17:41.779
 reason why

00:17:41.779 --> 00:17:42.379
 god can

00:17:42.379 --> 00:17:43.019
 demand

00:17:43.019 --> 00:17:44.000
 our loving

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:44.579
 obedience

00:17:44.579 --> 00:17:45.619
 and our

00:17:45.619 --> 00:17:46.039
 obedient

00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:46.619
 love

00:17:46.619 --> 00:17:48.480
 and we've

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:48.919
 got to be

00:17:48.919 --> 00:17:49.399
 clear on

00:17:49.399 --> 00:17:49.759
 this

00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:51.159
 god doesn't

00:17:51.159 --> 00:17:51.899
 rescue his

00:17:51.899 --> 00:17:52.519
 people as

00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:53.399
 he as we've

00:17:53.399 --> 00:17:54.019
 seen in

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:54.759
 deuteronomy and

00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:55.240
 he doesn't

00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:55.879
 rescue and

00:17:55.879 --> 00:17:56.720
 provide for us

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:57.319
 and then say

00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:58.299
 you know what

00:17:58.299 --> 00:17:59.439
 do what you

00:17:59.439 --> 00:18:00.339
 like when you

00:18:00.339 --> 00:18:00.899
 get into the

00:18:00.899 --> 00:18:01.619
 promised land

00:18:01.619 --> 00:18:03.299
 it doesn't

00:18:03.299 --> 00:18:04.000
 matter how

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:04.459
 you live

00:18:04.459 --> 00:18:05.479
 you choose

00:18:05.479 --> 00:18:05.939
 how you

00:18:05.939 --> 00:18:06.399
 want to

00:18:06.399 --> 00:18:06.739
 live

00:18:06.739 --> 00:18:09.179
 no god

00:18:09.179 --> 00:18:09.799
 says because

00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:10.559
 of what i

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:11.039
 have done

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:11.619
 for you

00:18:11.619 --> 00:18:13.219
 my grace

00:18:13.219 --> 00:18:13.599
 and my

00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:14.199
 love that

00:18:14.199 --> 00:18:14.539
 has been

00:18:14.539 --> 00:18:15.439
 lavished upon

00:18:15.439 --> 00:18:16.219
 you you

00:18:16.219 --> 00:18:17.199
 now belong

00:18:17.199 --> 00:18:17.659
 to me

00:18:17.659 --> 00:18:18.899
 you're mine

00:18:18.899 --> 00:18:21.919
 so god's

00:18:21.919 --> 00:18:22.559
 grace isn't

00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:23.119
 something that

00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:23.599
 we can just

00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:24.139
 take it or

00:18:24.139 --> 00:18:24.719
 leave it and

00:18:24.719 --> 00:18:25.519
 and kind of

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:26.379
 abuse it

00:18:26.379 --> 00:18:27.039
 whenever we

00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:27.559
 wish

00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.199
 no grace

00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:31.500
 is deeply

00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:32.200
 personal

00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:34.340
 and intimate

00:18:34.340 --> 00:18:36.140
 it's relational

00:18:36.140 --> 00:18:36.779
 it's about

00:18:36.779 --> 00:18:37.580
 god who

00:18:37.580 --> 00:18:38.259
 owns the

00:18:38.259 --> 00:18:38.819
 universe

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:40.160
 being in

00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:40.740
 relationship

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:41.580
 with people

00:18:41.580 --> 00:18:42.420
 like us

00:18:42.420 --> 00:18:44.240
 and it's

00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:44.740
 binding

00:18:44.740 --> 00:18:47.160
 we can't

00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:47.759
 break out

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:48.160
 of it

00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:48.900
 it's

00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:49.640
 demanding

00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:51.019
 upon us

00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:54.460
 and because

00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:55.019
 of all that

00:18:55.019 --> 00:18:55.700
 god has done

00:18:55.700 --> 00:18:56.480
 for us in

00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:57.080
 our lives

00:18:57.080 --> 00:18:57.880
 there's not

00:18:57.880 --> 00:18:58.759
 one inch

00:18:58.759 --> 00:18:59.519
 of our lives

00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:00.299
 not one

00:19:00.299 --> 00:19:01.139
 part of our

00:19:01.139 --> 00:19:01.639
 life that

00:19:01.639 --> 00:19:02.559
 god doesn't

00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:02.960
 say

00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.539
 mine

00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:06.920
 that means

00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:07.379
 there is

00:19:07.379 --> 00:19:07.940
 nothing

00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:09.299
 that god

00:19:09.299 --> 00:19:10.119
 can't ask

00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:10.519
 of you

00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.639
 there is

00:19:11.639 --> 00:19:12.180
 nothing

00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:13.099
 that god

00:19:13.099 --> 00:19:14.119
 can't require

00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:14.700
 of you

00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:15.900
 there is

00:19:15.900 --> 00:19:16.480
 nothing

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:17.500
 that he

00:19:17.500 --> 00:19:18.220
 can't

00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:18.940
 demand

00:19:18.940 --> 00:19:19.779
 of you

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:22.220
 we belong

00:19:22.220 --> 00:19:22.759
 to him

00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:23.559
 we are

00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:24.160
 his

00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.099
 and so

00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:26.539
 there is

00:19:26.539 --> 00:19:27.299
 this demand

00:19:27.299 --> 00:19:27.759
 that we

00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:28.440
 would love

00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:29.539
 god with

00:19:29.539 --> 00:19:30.059
 all our

00:19:30.059 --> 00:19:30.539
 heart

00:19:30.539 --> 00:19:31.240
 and with

00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:31.600
 all our

00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:32.080
 soul

00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:32.920
 and with

00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:33.259
 all our

00:19:33.259 --> 00:19:33.660
 mind

00:19:33.660 --> 00:19:38.180
 now i'm

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:38.860
 sure as we

00:19:38.860 --> 00:19:39.460
 just even

00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:40.039
 think about

00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:40.580
 those two

00:19:40.580 --> 00:19:41.279
 things that

00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:41.860
 what god

00:19:41.860 --> 00:19:42.539
 demands of

00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:42.820
 us

00:19:42.820 --> 00:19:43.940
 our total

00:19:43.940 --> 00:19:44.700
 allegiance

00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:45.620
 our complete

00:19:45.620 --> 00:19:46.180
 love

00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:47.799
 and that

00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:48.440
 why god

00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:49.080
 demands of

00:19:49.080 --> 00:19:49.320
 us

00:19:49.320 --> 00:19:49.660
 this

00:19:49.660 --> 00:19:50.759
 this demand

00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:52.119
 can

00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:52.980
 overwhelm

00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:53.460
 us

00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:54.859
 look at

00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:55.519
 chapter 10

00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:56.140
 verse 12

00:19:56.140 --> 00:19:56.519
 again

00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:57.839
 just try and

00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.480
 think how

00:19:58.480 --> 00:19:58.839
 we could

00:19:58.839 --> 00:19:59.579
 possibly do

00:19:59.579 --> 00:20:00.039
 this

00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.099
 he says

00:20:02.099 --> 00:20:03.700
 fear the

00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:04.140
 lord your

00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:04.579
 god

00:20:04.579 --> 00:20:05.859
 walk in

00:20:05.859 --> 00:20:06.819
 all his

00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:07.400
 ways

00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:08.819
 love him

00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:12.220
 heart

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:13.359
 and with

00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:14.099
 all your

00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:14.539
 soul

00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:16.440
 or chapter

00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:17.140
 11 verse

00:20:17.140 --> 00:20:17.440
 1

00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:18.360
 love the

00:20:18.360 --> 00:20:18.799
 lord your

 keep his

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:20.240
 requirements

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:21.120
 his decrees

00:20:21.120 --> 00:20:21.799
 his laws

00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:22.539
 and his

00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:23.140
 commands

00:20:23.140 --> 00:20:24.700
 always

00:20:24.700 --> 00:20:27.380
 or verse

00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:28.039
 32

00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:30.519
 be sure

00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:31.000
 that you

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.120
 obey all

00:20:32.120 --> 00:20:33.039
 the decrees

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.559
 and laws

00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:35.080
 that i am

00:20:35.080 --> 00:20:35.840
 setting before

00:20:35.840 --> 00:20:36.460
 you today

00:20:36.460 --> 00:20:38.279
 now that

00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:38.779
 to me

00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:39.740
 is is a

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:40.539
 huge big

00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:41.100
 weight

00:20:41.100 --> 00:20:42.519
 that's heavy

00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:43.180
 upon our

00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:43.680
 shoulders

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:45.000
 and the

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:45.420
 weight of

00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:45.860
 it is

00:20:45.860 --> 00:20:46.279
 this

00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:47.759
 we know

00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.240
 what is

00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:48.779
 required

00:20:48.779 --> 00:20:49.539
 of us

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:50.799
 we know

00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.240
 that we

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:51.579
 are to

00:20:51.579 --> 00:20:52.099
 love god

00:20:52.099 --> 00:20:52.460
 with all

00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:52.579
 our

00:20:52.579 --> 00:20:52.779
 heart

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:53.379
 we know

00:20:53.379 --> 00:20:53.839
 that we're

00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:54.299
 meant to

00:20:54.299 --> 00:20:54.879
 obey all

00:20:54.879 --> 00:20:55.160
 of his

00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:55.639
 commands

00:20:55.639 --> 00:20:58.200
 but here's

00:20:58.200 --> 00:20:59.079
 the crunch

00:20:59.079 --> 00:20:59.500
 of it

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:01.079
 we know

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:01.500
 that we'll

00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:02.039
 never do

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:02.399
 it

00:21:02.399 --> 00:21:03.660
 deep down

00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:04.220
 we know

00:21:04.220 --> 00:21:04.660
 that this

00:21:04.660 --> 00:21:05.039
 is just

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:05.720
 an impossible

00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:06.639
 task

00:21:06.639 --> 00:21:10.059
 so how

00:21:10.059 --> 00:21:10.420
 are we

00:21:10.420 --> 00:21:11.279
 to respond

00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:13.139
 to such

00:21:13.139 --> 00:21:13.819
 demands

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:16.700
 well i

00:21:16.700 --> 00:21:17.119
 think there's

00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:18.019
 two very

00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:19.179
 helpful steps

00:21:19.179 --> 00:21:19.700
 that we

00:21:19.700 --> 00:21:20.319
 can take

00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:21.639
 that will

00:21:21.639 --> 00:21:22.159
 help us

00:21:22.159 --> 00:21:22.639
 to love

00:21:22.639 --> 00:21:23.079
 god

00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:24.519
 and to

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:24.980
 obey

00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:25.619
 his

00:21:25.619 --> 00:21:26.259
 commands

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:27.759
 the first

00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:28.359
 is this

00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:30.559
 circumcise

00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:31.839
 your hearts

00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:33.299
 can you flick

00:21:33.299 --> 00:21:33.819
 it up there

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:34.960
 graham i think

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:35.419
 it's there

00:21:35.419 --> 00:21:37.079
 there we go

00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:38.099
 circumcise your

00:21:38.099 --> 00:21:38.519
 hearts

00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:39.359
 look at verse

00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:39.919
 16

00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:42.740
 circumcise your

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:43.200
 hearts

00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:43.880
 therefore

00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:45.279
 and do

00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:46.039
 not be

00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:46.880
 stiff-necked

00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:48.200
 any longer

00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:49.940
 now circumcision

00:21:49.940 --> 00:21:50.560
 we know

00:21:50.560 --> 00:21:51.120
 with this

00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:52.279
 outward sign

00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:53.560
 that you

00:21:53.560 --> 00:21:54.080
 belonged

00:21:54.080 --> 00:21:54.759
 to god

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.060
 you were

00:21:55.060 --> 00:21:55.500
 part of

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:56.039
 the covenant

00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:56.720
 family

00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:58.740
 but we also

00:21:58.740 --> 00:21:59.460
 know that

00:21:59.460 --> 00:22:00.779
 this external

00:22:00.779 --> 00:22:01.539
 procedure

00:22:01.539 --> 00:22:03.259
 doesn't

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:04.060
 actually change

00:22:04.060 --> 00:22:04.700
 your heart

00:22:04.700 --> 00:22:06.200
 having your

00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:06.860
 foreskin

00:22:06.860 --> 00:22:07.600
 removed

00:22:07.600 --> 00:22:08.340
 doesn't

00:22:08.340 --> 00:22:09.340
 suddenly

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:10.019
 enable you

00:22:10.019 --> 00:22:10.599
 to love

00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:11.019
 god

00:22:11.019 --> 00:22:11.659
 and to

00:22:11.659 --> 00:22:12.099
 obey

00:22:12.099 --> 00:22:12.579
 god

00:22:12.579 --> 00:22:12.879
 it

00:22:12.879 --> 00:22:13.399
 it

00:22:13.399 --> 00:22:13.859
 doesn't

00:22:13.859 --> 00:22:14.179
 work

00:22:14.179 --> 00:22:14.459
 like

00:22:14.459 --> 00:22:14.899
 that

00:22:14.899 --> 00:22:16.019
 so he's

00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:16.480
 saying here

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:17.259
 verse 16

00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:17.599
 look

00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:19.199
 circumcise your

00:22:19.199 --> 00:22:19.619
 hearts

00:22:19.619 --> 00:22:20.079
 therefore

00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:21.159
 and do not

00:22:21.159 --> 00:22:22.099
 be stiff-necked

00:22:22.099 --> 00:22:22.980
 any longer

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:24.699
 what we need

00:22:24.699 --> 00:22:25.359
 is not an

00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:26.019
 external

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:26.699
 procedure

00:22:26.699 --> 00:22:28.099
 but an

00:22:28.099 --> 00:22:28.839
 internal

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:29.480
 procedure

00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:30.579
 we need a

00:22:30.579 --> 00:22:31.139
 surgeon

00:22:31.139 --> 00:22:31.839
 who's going

00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:32.299
 to come

00:22:32.299 --> 00:22:32.679
 along

00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:33.859
 and cut

00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:34.480
 away the

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:35.259
 impure

00:22:35.259 --> 00:22:36.379
 the wrong

00:22:36.379 --> 00:22:36.959
 motives

00:22:36.959 --> 00:22:37.639
 the false

00:22:37.639 --> 00:22:38.279
 desires

00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:40.279
 and deal

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:40.720
 with our

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:41.279
 hearts

00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:42.779
 so that

00:22:42.779 --> 00:22:43.139
 we will

00:22:43.139 --> 00:22:43.539
 be able

00:22:43.539 --> 00:22:43.980
 to love

 off side a

00:23:37.220 --> 00:23:37.520
 little bit

00:23:40.600 --> 00:23:41.060
 himself

00:23:41.060 --> 00:23:42.420

00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:42.900
 makes this

00:23:42.900 --> 00:23:43.860

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:13.920
 he's the

00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:14.420
 one who's

 to deal

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:17.700
 with our

00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:18.259
 hearts

00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:19.379
 so that

00:24:19.379 --> 00:24:20.119
 we can

 good news

00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:24.920

 don't know

00:24:25.660 --> 00:24:26.039
 about you

00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:26.940

00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:27.400
 with my

00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:27.859
 heart

00:24:27.859 --> 00:24:29.219
 i can't

00:24:29.219 --> 00:24:29.740
 love god

00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:30.039
 as i

 somebody else

00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:32.979
 to do

00:24:32.979 --> 00:24:33.299
 it

00:24:33.299 --> 00:24:35.599
 so god

00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:36.259
 says i'm

00:24:36.259 --> 00:24:36.639
 going to

00:24:36.639 --> 00:24:36.919
 do it

00:24:36.919 --> 00:24:37.279
 for you

00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:38.179
 but but

00:24:38.179 --> 00:24:39.219
 again how

00:24:39.219 --> 00:24:39.719
 is he

00:24:39.719 --> 00:24:40.139
 going to

00:24:40.139 --> 00:24:40.619
 do it

00:24:40.619 --> 00:24:42.419
 well jump

00:24:42.419 --> 00:24:43.239
 forward to

00:24:43.239 --> 00:24:44.099
 romans

00:24:44.099 --> 00:24:45.079
 chapter 2

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.859
 romans

00:24:48.859 --> 00:24:49.679
 chapter 2

00:24:49.679 --> 00:24:54.000
 this is

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:54.799
 where god's

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:55.359
 promise

00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:56.899
 to

00:24:56.899 --> 00:24:58.039
 circumcise

00:24:58.039 --> 00:24:58.719
 our hearts

00:24:58.719 --> 00:24:59.719
 becomes a

00:24:59.719 --> 00:25:00.199
 reality

00:25:00.199 --> 00:25:01.659
 and he

00:25:01.659 --> 00:25:02.199
 tells us

00:25:02.199 --> 00:25:02.759
 how he's

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:03.179
 going to

00:25:03.179 --> 00:25:03.739
 do it

00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:09.059
 romans

00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:09.700
 chapter 2

00:25:09.700 --> 00:25:10.640
 verse 28

00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.259
 so he's

00:25:12.259 --> 00:25:12.859
 been talking

00:25:12.859 --> 00:25:13.500
 all about

00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:14.400
 the tradition

00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:15.400
 of circumcision

00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:16.299
 the outward

00:25:16.299 --> 00:25:17.740
 and how it

00:25:17.740 --> 00:25:18.640
 doesn't change

00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:19.160
 anybody

00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:20.799
 so we get

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:21.380
 to his little

00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:22.140
 summary in

00:25:22.140 --> 00:25:23.000
 verse 28

00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:23.880
 of chapter 2

00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:26.299
 it says

00:25:26.299 --> 00:25:27.059
 there a man

00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:28.420
 is not a

00:25:28.420 --> 00:25:28.680
 Jew

00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:30.460
 if he is

00:25:30.460 --> 00:25:31.240
 only one

00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:32.039
 outwardly

00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:34.100
 so let me

00:25:34.100 --> 00:25:34.720
 just try and

00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:35.779
 paraphrase this

00:25:35.779 --> 00:25:36.240
 a little bit

00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:36.799
 so we can

00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:38.060
 get to

00:25:38.060 --> 00:25:39.080
 to grips

00:25:39.080 --> 00:25:39.640
 with what's

00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:40.299
 being said

00:25:40.299 --> 00:25:41.779
 verse 28

00:25:41.779 --> 00:25:42.560
 a person

00:25:42.560 --> 00:25:44.580
 is not a

00:25:44.580 --> 00:25:45.600
 true believer

00:25:45.600 --> 00:25:48.160
 if he is

00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:48.940
 only one

00:25:48.940 --> 00:25:49.799
 outwardly

00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:51.820
 nor is

00:25:51.820 --> 00:25:52.519
 circumcision

00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:53.480
 merely outward

00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:54.160
 and physical

00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:56.519
 no a

00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:57.380
 person is

00:25:57.380 --> 00:25:58.140
 a true

00:25:58.140 --> 00:25:58.740
 believer

00:25:58.740 --> 00:26:00.600
 if he is

00:26:00.600 --> 00:26:00.960
 one

00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:01.980
 inwardly

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:03.460
 and

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:04.500
 circumcision

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:05.940
 is circumcision

00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:07.320
 of the

00:26:07.320 --> 00:26:07.840
 heart

00:26:07.840 --> 00:26:10.880
 and that

00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:11.720
 circumcision

00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:12.500
 of the

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:12.780
 heart

00:26:12.780 --> 00:26:13.460
 is done

00:26:13.460 --> 00:26:14.000
 by

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:14.680
 the

00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:15.400
 spirit

00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:17.160
 you see

00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:17.740
 the only

00:26:17.740 --> 00:26:18.280
 way our

00:26:18.280 --> 00:26:18.880
 hearts can

00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:19.680
 be changed

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:20.900
 the only

00:26:20.900 --> 00:26:21.320
 way that

00:26:21.320 --> 00:26:21.720
 we can

00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:22.640
 love God

00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:23.440
 and obey

00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:24.040
 God

00:26:24.040 --> 00:26:25.420
 is when

00:26:25.420 --> 00:26:26.040
 the Holy

00:26:26.040 --> 00:26:26.560
 Spirit

00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:27.500
 goes at

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:28.080
 work in

00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:28.699
 our hearts

00:26:28.699 --> 00:26:29.599
 and begin

00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:30.240
 to change

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:30.679
 us

00:26:30.679 --> 00:26:32.139
 because we

00:26:32.139 --> 00:26:32.879
 are completely

00:26:32.879 --> 00:26:33.519
 and utterly

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:34.619
 powerless to

00:26:34.619 --> 00:26:35.399
 meet God's

00:26:35.399 --> 00:26:35.919
 demands

00:26:35.919 --> 00:26:37.019
 without him

00:26:37.019 --> 00:26:37.579
 we cannot

00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:38.119
 love him

00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:38.460
 with our

00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:38.720
 heart

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.279
 soul and

00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:39.879
 strength

00:26:39.879 --> 00:26:42.099
 but how

00:26:42.099 --> 00:26:42.799
 often

00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:43.819
 do we

00:26:43.819 --> 00:26:44.579
 come before

00:26:44.579 --> 00:26:44.980
 God

00:26:44.980 --> 00:26:45.779
 and ask

00:26:45.779 --> 00:26:46.199
 him

00:26:46.199 --> 00:26:47.759
 to perform

00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:48.460
 this kind

00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:49.259
 of surgery

00:26:49.259 --> 00:26:50.079
 in our

00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:50.619
 lives

00:26:50.619 --> 00:26:52.239
 when

00:26:52.239 --> 00:26:52.399
 when was

00:26:52.399 --> 00:26:52.819
 the last

00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:53.299
 time we

00:26:53.299 --> 00:26:54.019
 sat down

00:26:54.019 --> 00:26:54.479
 and said

00:26:54.479 --> 00:26:55.099
 spirit

00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:55.759
 of God

00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:57.219
 change

00:26:57.219 --> 00:26:58.039
 my heart

00:26:58.039 --> 00:26:59.079
 to love

00:26:59.079 --> 00:26:59.639
 you more

00:26:59.639 --> 00:27:01.359
 spirit

00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:01.979
 of God

00:27:01.979 --> 00:27:02.879
 change

00:27:02.879 --> 00:27:03.719
 my heart

00:27:03.719 --> 00:27:05.259
 so that

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:05.579
 I will

00:27:05.579 --> 00:27:06.279
 obey you

00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:07.919
 because we

00:27:07.919 --> 00:27:08.659
 cannot do

00:27:08.659 --> 00:27:09.859
 it on

00:27:09.859 --> 00:27:10.299
 our own

00:27:10.299 --> 00:27:10.759
 and he

00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:11.179
 has given

00:27:11.179 --> 00:27:11.579
 us the

00:27:11.579 --> 00:27:12.479
 very resources

00:27:12.479 --> 00:27:13.459
 to do

00:27:13.459 --> 00:27:13.779
 it so

00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:14.179
 that's the

00:27:14.179 --> 00:27:14.779
 first step

00:27:14.779 --> 00:27:15.559
 we need

00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:16.879
 to circumcise

00:27:16.879 --> 00:27:17.599
 our hearts

00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:18.759
 by the

00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:19.440
 spirit of

00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:19.700
 God

00:27:19.700 --> 00:27:20.539
 calling on

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:20.899
 him

00:27:20.899 --> 00:27:21.819
 to do

00:27:21.819 --> 00:27:22.059
 that

00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:22.740
 change

00:27:22.740 --> 00:27:24.480
 the second

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.059
 thing we

00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:25.480
 need

00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:26.119
 and they're

00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:26.420
 both

00:27:26.420 --> 00:27:26.920
 connected

00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:27.839
 so I

00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:28.180
 don't want

00:27:28.180 --> 00:27:28.500
 to see

00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:28.879
 these as

00:27:28.879 --> 00:27:29.440
 two different

00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:29.799
 things

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:30.920
 but as

00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:31.460
 one big

00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:31.799
 step

00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:32.160
 together

00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:32.539
 we need

00:27:32.539 --> 00:27:32.779
 to go

00:27:32.779 --> 00:27:33.180
 back to

00:27:33.180 --> 00:27:33.879
 Deuteronomy

00:27:33.879 --> 00:27:35.000
 chapter

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:35.680
 11

00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:36.339
 for this

00:27:36.339 --> 00:27:38.279
 the second

00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:38.899
 step is

00:27:38.899 --> 00:27:39.279
 this

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:41.980
 to fix

00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:42.700
 God's

00:27:42.700 --> 00:27:43.160
 words

00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:44.180
 in your

00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:44.700
 hearts

00:27:44.700 --> 00:27:45.819
 fix

00:27:45.819 --> 00:27:46.360
 God's

00:27:46.360 --> 00:27:46.759
 words

00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:47.740
 in your

00:27:47.740 --> 00:27:48.100
 hearts

00:27:48.100 --> 00:27:48.500
 chapter

00:27:48.500 --> 00:27:49.000
 11

00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:49.740
 and

00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:50.100
 verse

00:27:50.100 --> 00:27:50.819
 18

00:27:50.819 --> 00:27:52.299
 he

00:27:52.299 --> 00:27:52.600
 says

00:27:52.600 --> 00:27:52.960
 fix

00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:53.259
 these

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:53.680
 words

00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:53.860
 of

00:27:53.860 --> 00:27:54.200
 mine

00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:54.519
 in

00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:54.700
 your

00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:55.200
 hearts

00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:55.600
 and

00:27:55.600 --> 00:27:56.120
 minds

00:27:56.120 --> 00:27:56.779
 tie

00:27:56.779 --> 00:27:57.019
 them

00:27:57.019 --> 00:27:57.220
 as

00:27:57.220 --> 00:27:57.600
 symbols

00:27:57.600 --> 00:27:57.880
 on

00:27:57.880 --> 00:27:58.039
 your

00:27:58.039 --> 00:27:58.600
 hands

00:27:58.600 --> 00:27:59.500
 and

00:27:59.500 --> 00:28:00.019
 bind

00:28:00.019 --> 00:28:00.340
 them

00:28:00.340 --> 00:28:00.620
 on

00:28:00.620 --> 00:28:00.799
 your

00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:01.480
 forehead

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:02.700

00:31:51.860 --> 00:31:53.680
 and why

00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:54.380
 he demands

00:31:54.380 --> 00:31:54.920
 because of

00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:55.560
 his amazing

00:31:55.560 --> 00:31:56.080
 grace

00:31:56.080 --> 00:31:57.500
 but we

00:31:57.500 --> 00:31:58.000
 can't do

00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:58.420
 that on

00:31:58.420 --> 00:31:58.800
 our own

00:31:58.800 --> 00:32:00.019
 we need

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:00.539
 to go to

00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:01.019
 God's

00:32:01.019 --> 00:32:01.580
 operating

00:32:01.580 --> 00:32:02.100
 theatre

00:32:02.100 --> 00:32:03.100
 so let's

00:32:03.100 --> 00:32:03.980
 now in

00:32:03.980 --> 00:32:04.400
 prayer

00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:05.500
 privately

00:32:05.500 --> 00:32:06.660
 and quietly

00:32:06.660 --> 00:32:08.160
 ask the

00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:08.840
 Holy Spirit

00:32:08.840 --> 00:32:09.960
 to take

00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:10.700
 God's word

00:32:10.700 --> 00:32:11.620
 to do

00:32:11.620 --> 00:32:12.259
 his work

00:32:12.259 --> 00:32:13.039
 in our

00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:13.420
 lives

00:32:13.420 --> 00:32:14.019
 right now

00:32:14.019 --> 00:32:14.519
 so that we

00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:15.000
 will love

00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:15.340
 him

00:32:15.340 --> 00:32:16.580
 and obey

00:32:16.580 --> 00:32:17.000
 him

00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:18.039
 as we

00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:18.300
 should

00:32:18.300 --> 00:32:18.759
 let's do

00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:19.259
 that now

00:32:19.259 --> 00:32:44.240
 and

00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:45.240

 Thank you.

00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:55.240
 Thank you.

00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:57.240

00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:01.240
 Thank you.

00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:03.240
 Thank you.

00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:05.240

00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:07.240

00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:15.239
 Thank you.

00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.239
 Thank you.

00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:19.239

00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:21.239

00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:27.239
 Thank you.

00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:30.000
 asking that your spirit, through your word,

00:34:30.899 --> 00:34:34.000
 would do his work, changing us,

00:34:34.659 --> 00:34:39.419
 so that you have our loving obedience

00:34:39.419 --> 00:34:42.379
 and our obedient love.

00:34:44.419 --> 00:34:46.619
 Thank you for the great God that you are.

00:34:47.799 --> 00:34:50.699
 Please go on changing us, we ask in Jesus' name.

00:34:51.819 --> 00:34:52.279
 Amen.

00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:52.380
 Amen.

00:34:56.100 --> 00:34:57.880
 Well, the song that we're going to finish

00:34:57.880 --> 00:34:59.840
 picks up on that final song.
