00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.920
 I was in Corinth.

00:00:01.219 --> 00:00:06.000
 It's on page, if you're reading the Red Church Bible, it's on page 1114.

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:06.000


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.359
 And we'll start on verse 1 of chapter 18.

00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.079
 After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

00:00:52.079 --> 00:01:03.000
 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome.

00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:05.140
 Paul went to see them.

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.019
 And because he was a tent maker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.299
 Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.

00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:26.280
 When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:33.060
 But when the Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them,

00:01:33.500 --> 00:01:35.519
 Your blood be on your own heads.

00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:37.620
 I am clear of my responsibility.

00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:40.599
 From now on, I will go to the Gentiles.

00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:48.879
 Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus, a worshipper of God.

00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.039
 Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire household believe in the Lord.

00:01:53.500 --> 00:01:57.659
 And many of the Corinthians who heard him believed and were baptized.

00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.659
 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision.

00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:03.119
 Do not be afraid.

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:05.159
 Keep on speaking.

00:02:05.539 --> 00:02:06.379
 Do not be silent.

00:02:06.379 --> 00:02:08.259
 For I am with you.

00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:11.680
 And no one is going to attack and harm you.

00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:14.240
 Because I have many people in this city.

00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:20.180
 So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.

00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:26.579
 And I'm just going to turn over to 2 Corinthians chapter 1 and just read the first two verses.

00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:31.520
 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, and Timothy, our brother.

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:36.480
 To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia.

00:02:37.300 --> 00:02:41.780
 Grace and peace to you from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:44.100
 Thank you, Johnny.

00:02:44.099 --> 00:02:55.819
 Thank you, Jonathan.

00:02:56.379 --> 00:02:58.539
 It's good to be with you again this morning.

00:02:59.019 --> 00:03:02.319
 And it's good to be able to share God's word with you.

00:03:02.459 --> 00:03:08.379
 Please have your Bibles open on those last couple of verses in 2 Corinthians.

00:03:08.379 --> 00:03:11.919
 I know I said to Jonathan it would be Acts.

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.120
 It's actually 2 Corinthians verses 1 and 2.

00:03:17.939 --> 00:03:19.780
 Don't get too excited, you think.

00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:20.400
 Two verses.

00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:21.699
 He hasn't much to say.

00:03:22.539 --> 00:03:24.939
 Well, there's lots here for us.

00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:32.819
 To draw your attention to another book, if you haven't got a Bible, please help yourself just around the corner there.

00:03:33.300 --> 00:03:35.259
 There's plenty of Bibles.

00:03:35.259 --> 00:03:39.579
 It will help you as we go along and study God's word together.

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:47.179
 Another little booklet, not on the same authority as Scripture, but nonetheless, it will help you.

00:03:47.799 --> 00:03:53.340
 2 Corinthians is just an introduction to some of the big themes that we will be coming across.

00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.579
 And it will help you in your understanding of the letter.

00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.639
 So pick up your copy of that as well.

00:04:02.399 --> 00:04:03.399
 Thank you, Jonathan.

00:04:03.399 --> 00:04:03.519
 Oh.

00:04:05.259 --> 00:04:07.280
 Place has fallen down.

00:04:07.399 --> 00:04:08.319
 Thank you very much.

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:13.879
 Let me get a drink.

00:04:23.259 --> 00:04:25.000
 Let's pray together.

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:34.279
 Father, we are privileged to have your word.

00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:43.619
 written down for us so that we can learn about you and your son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:04:44.979 --> 00:04:52.439
 We pray that these words written on the page would be transformative in our lives.

00:04:52.439 --> 00:05:00.779
 changing us, changing us, humbling us, and helping us to see Christ.

00:05:00.779 --> 00:05:14.459
 Please pour out your blessing upon us as we gather today and as we study this letter of 2 Corinthians over the coming weeks.

00:05:14.459 --> 00:05:15.459
 May it be truly good for us.

00:05:15.459 --> 00:05:21.259
 May it be truly good for us to hear your word.

00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.379
 In Jesus' name.

00:05:24.159 --> 00:05:24.699
 Amen.

00:05:24.699 --> 00:05:24.779
 Amen.

00:05:24.779 --> 00:05:25.599
 Amen.

00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:25.599


00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:33.879
 Well, we need someone who is more successful and influential.

00:05:34.820 --> 00:05:36.020
 A crowd puller.

00:05:36.939 --> 00:05:39.120
 A big named speaker.

00:05:40.020 --> 00:05:43.379
 We need someone who is more dynamic.

00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:49.660
 Well, that seems to be the word on the street in Corinth.

00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.660
 The Apostle Paul, as we've just read from Acts,

00:05:53.660 --> 00:05:57.420
 had brought the good news of Jesus Christ to the city.

00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:09.660
 And it records for us there that many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.

00:06:11.020 --> 00:06:18.320
 However, despite the early growth, not all is well in the local church.

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:28.000
 So-called super apostles have arrived and they're questioning Paul's ministry and his credentials.

00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:34.379
 Have a look with me in 2 Corinthians chapter 3, verse 1.

00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:39.379
 Paul writes to the church and he says,

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.740
 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again?

00:06:43.699 --> 00:06:51.779
 Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

00:06:52.740 --> 00:06:58.579
 It seems there were complaints that Paul's ministry CV was not up to scratch.

00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.600
 He hadn't been to the right college.

00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.300
 He wasn't mixing with the right people.

00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:07.840
 Or have a look at chapter 10 and verse 10.

00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.860
 Paul writes about what people are saying about him.

00:07:17.500 --> 00:07:18.980
 Chapter 10, verse 10.

00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:22.540
 For some say his letters are weighty and forceful.

00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:31.580
 But in person, he's unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.

00:07:32.520 --> 00:07:36.819
 That Paul, I wouldn't cross the road to hear him.

00:07:36.819 --> 00:07:45.759
 But despite all the criticism, Paul pushes back chapter 11, verse 5.

00:07:47.339 --> 00:07:54.519
 I do not think I am in the least inferior to those super apostles.

00:07:54.519 --> 00:08:03.639
 In fact, the one thing Paul has that they don't have is weakness.

00:08:05.039 --> 00:08:07.680
 Look at chapter 11, verse 24.

00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:15.719
 If you want a CV, if you want credentials, well then here it is, verse 24.

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:21.060
 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.

00:08:21.520 --> 00:08:24.060
 Three times I was beaten with rods.

00:08:24.580 --> 00:08:26.560
 Once I was pelted with stones.

00:08:27.100 --> 00:08:28.960
 Three times I was shipwrecked.

00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.660
 I spent a night and a day in the open sea.

00:08:33.800 --> 00:08:39.120
 I've been constantly on the move and have faced many dangers.

00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:40.519
 Verse 27.

00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.059
 I have laboured and toiled.

00:08:43.579 --> 00:08:45.419
 I have often gone without sleep.

00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:47.879
 I've known hunger and thirst.

00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.079
 And often gone without food.

00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.439
 I've been cold and naked.

00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.819
 And besides everything else,

00:08:56.539 --> 00:09:00.519
 I face the daily pressures of my concern for all the churches.

00:09:01.460 --> 00:09:02.500
 Who is weak?

00:09:03.179 --> 00:09:05.100
 And I do not feel weak.

00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.379
 Who is led into sin?

00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:10.259
 And I do not inwardly burn.

00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:12.799
 If I must boast,

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:19.399
 I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

00:09:21.620 --> 00:09:25.179
 It's not greatness that Paul has,

00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.360
 but weakness.

00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.759
 And in a culture that prized success

00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.019
 and encouraged the influential,

00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:38.179
 Paul, it appeared, was a complete failure.

00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:41.599
 He was neither an attractive personality

00:09:41.599 --> 00:09:44.079
 or an impressive speaker.

00:09:45.079 --> 00:09:49.519
 The church wanted someone who was powerful and dynamic,

00:09:50.059 --> 00:09:53.319
 not weak and fragile.

00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:58.879
 Well, isn't that how often we can think?

00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:03.420
 If only we had a better preacher.

00:10:04.700 --> 00:10:06.600
 Someone just like...

00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:12.019
 Someone who's influential.

00:10:13.019 --> 00:10:13.580
 Funny.

00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:15.540
 Draws a crowd.

00:10:15.540 --> 00:10:18.460
 If only we had better programs.

00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:21.360
 Something more creative and successful.

00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:23.960
 If only we had a better building.

00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:27.900
 An impressive place that we would be proud of.

00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:30.280
 A place to invite.

00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.379
 Who wants to be in a small church

00:10:35.379 --> 00:10:38.360
 with weak people?

00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:42.440
 But as Paul begins his letter,

00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:44.919
 he reminds us

00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:48.340
 that it's not about individual greatness.

00:10:49.340 --> 00:10:52.899
 It's all about God.

00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:55.200
 God is the one

00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.620
 who rules his church.

00:10:58.620 --> 00:11:02.560
 So, let's go to the beginning

00:11:02.560 --> 00:11:03.820
 of the letter,

00:11:03.980 --> 00:11:05.899
 2 Corinthians chapter 1.

00:11:06.899 --> 00:11:07.940
 And we're going to see

00:11:07.940 --> 00:11:10.460
 that the church begins

00:11:10.460 --> 00:11:12.279
 with God.

00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.799
 The church belongs to God.

00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:17.820
 And the church

00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:19.460
 is blessed

00:11:19.460 --> 00:11:21.080
 by God.

00:11:21.899 --> 00:11:23.480
 So, first of all,

00:11:24.019 --> 00:11:26.379
 the church begins

00:11:26.379 --> 00:11:29.100
 with God.

00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:31.460
 Despite what other people

00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:32.919
 have been saying about Paul,

00:11:33.460 --> 00:11:35.120
 he wants to make it clear

00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:36.259
 from the very beginning.

00:11:36.860 --> 00:11:37.480
 Verse 1.

00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:38.820
 Paul,

00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:40.740
 I'm an apostle

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:42.500
 of Christ Jesus

00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:44.820
 by the will

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:46.480
 of God.

00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:48.240
 And Timothy,

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:49.500
 our brother.

00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:52.059
 He's wanting to show them

00:11:52.059 --> 00:11:53.720
 that the church exists

00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.360
 not because of anyone's greatness,

00:11:56.379 --> 00:12:00.860
 but because of God's will.

00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.399
 Now, to help us see this,

00:12:03.939 --> 00:12:05.120
 I want us to turn back

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:06.960
 to Acts chapter 22.

00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:10.879
 Go to Acts chapter 22.

00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:16.620
 Here we have a record,

00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:17.320
 an account,

00:12:18.019 --> 00:12:19.779
 of when Paul became

00:12:19.779 --> 00:12:20.539
 a Christian.

00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:21.820
 He was formerly known

00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:22.539
 as Saul,

00:12:22.539 --> 00:12:24.439
 and his job

00:12:24.439 --> 00:12:27.139
 was to gather

00:12:27.139 --> 00:12:28.219
 all the Christians,

00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:29.439
 put them in prison,

00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:31.519
 and even kill them.

00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:33.559
 And as he was on his way

00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:34.699
 to Damascus,

00:12:35.439 --> 00:12:36.599
 you know the story,

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:38.919
 the risen Lord Jesus

00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:40.019
 appeared to him

00:12:40.019 --> 00:12:42.799
 with a shining bright light.

00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:45.259
 He fell off his horse.

00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:46.399
 He was confronted

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:47.779
 by Jesus

00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:49.659
 and he went blind.

00:12:49.659 --> 00:12:52.159
 And here in Acts 22,

00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:53.860
 he retells

00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:55.419
 his story.

00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.299
 So I want us to read this

00:12:58.299 --> 00:12:59.839
 thinking about

00:12:59.839 --> 00:13:01.399
 how the church

00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:02.759
 started.

00:13:04.079 --> 00:13:05.199
 Let's pick it up

00:13:05.199 --> 00:13:06.019
 in verse 11.

00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:09.019
 My companions

00:13:09.019 --> 00:13:11.019
 led me by the hand

00:13:11.019 --> 00:13:12.120
 into Damascus

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:13.539
 because the brilliance

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:14.299
 of the light

00:13:14.299 --> 00:13:15.620
 had blinded me.

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:17.919
 A man named Ananias

00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:18.939
 came to see me.

00:13:19.500 --> 00:13:21.079
 He was a devout

00:13:21.079 --> 00:13:22.419
 observer of the law

00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:24.379
 and highly respected

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:25.879
 by all the Jews

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.579
 living there.

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:28.980
 He stood beside me

00:13:28.980 --> 00:13:29.559
 and said,

00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:31.419
 Brother Saul,

00:13:32.319 --> 00:13:33.600
 receive your sight.

00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.180
 And at that very moment,

00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:37.980
 I was able to see.

00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:40.139
 Then he said,

00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.940
 The God of our ancestors

00:13:42.940 --> 00:13:45.040
 has chosen you

00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:47.139
 to know his will

00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:49.759
 and to see the righteous one,

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.300
 that's Jesus,

00:13:51.920 --> 00:13:53.379
 and to hear words

00:13:53.379 --> 00:13:55.159
 from his mouth.

00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.600
 You will be his witness

00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.000
 to all people

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:00.680
 of what you have seen

00:14:00.680 --> 00:14:01.240
 and heard.

00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.220
 And now what are you

00:14:03.220 --> 00:14:04.100
 waiting for?

00:14:04.860 --> 00:14:05.600
 Get up,

00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:07.259
 be baptized,

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:10.080
 wash your sins away,

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:12.299
 calling on his name.

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:14.240
 Verse 21.

00:14:15.779 --> 00:14:17.440
 Then the Lord said to me,

00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:18.960
 Go,

00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:20.960
 I will send you

00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.000
 far away

00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.060
 to the Gentiles.

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:26.259
 So from these

00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:27.340
 few verses,

00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:28.279
 I want us to see

00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:28.879
 three things.

00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:29.279
 First,

00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.299
 that Paul was saved

00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:33.659
 and sent

00:14:33.659 --> 00:14:34.799
 by God.

00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:36.740
 He was converted

00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:38.759
 as he was confronted

00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.019
 by the risen Lord Jesus.

00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:42.419
 And he was commissioned,

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:43.220
 Go,

00:14:43.439 --> 00:14:43.659
 Paul,

00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:44.960
 I want you to go

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:46.820
 to where people

00:14:46.820 --> 00:14:48.240
 have not heard

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.559
 about Jesus.

00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:51.299
 So he was,

00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:51.659


00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:52.799
 sent

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.080
 by God

00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.000
 and saved

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.200
 by God.

00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:57.840
 second,

00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.700
 he was sent

00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:00.780
 with the authority

00:15:00.780 --> 00:15:01.360
 of God.

00:15:01.460 --> 00:15:02.460
 Look at verse 14.

00:15:02.940 --> 00:15:04.440
 The God of our ancestors

00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:05.960
 has chosen

00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:06.900
 you

00:15:06.900 --> 00:15:08.300
 to know

00:15:08.300 --> 00:15:08.900
 his

00:15:08.900 --> 00:15:09.840
 will.

00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:11.520
 So if you were

00:15:11.520 --> 00:15:12.379
 to ask Paul,

00:15:12.780 --> 00:15:13.040
 Paul,

00:15:13.180 --> 00:15:14.400
 by what authority

00:15:14.400 --> 00:15:15.740
 do you have

00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:16.340
 to do

00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:17.820
 what you do?

00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:19.220
 His answer

00:15:19.220 --> 00:15:20.320
 was very simple.

00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:22.340
 I'm sent

00:15:22.340 --> 00:15:24.240
 with the authority

00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:24.899
 of God.

00:15:24.899 --> 00:15:27.000
 He chose

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:27.740
 me

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:29.980
 and I have

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:30.740
 obeyed

00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:32.180
 and gone.

00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:33.899
 So he was

00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:35.120
 saved and sent

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:36.580
 with the authority

00:15:36.580 --> 00:15:37.279
 of God

00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:38.680
 to preach,

00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:39.419
 thirdly,

00:15:40.460 --> 00:15:41.740
 the good news

00:15:41.740 --> 00:15:43.200
 about Jesus.

00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:45.120
 His sending

00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:45.840
 and choosing

00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:46.759
 was for a purpose.

00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.080
 Let's read verse 14

00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:49.060
 and 15 again.

00:15:49.059 --> 00:15:50.219
 The God

00:15:50.219 --> 00:15:51.259
 of our ancestors

00:15:51.259 --> 00:15:52.219
 has chosen

00:15:52.219 --> 00:15:52.679
 you

00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:53.699
 to know

00:15:53.699 --> 00:15:54.479
 his will,

00:15:54.979 --> 00:15:55.699
 to see

00:15:55.699 --> 00:15:56.299
 the righteous

00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:56.799
 one

00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:57.899
 and to

00:15:57.899 --> 00:15:59.500
 hear words

00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:00.279
 from his

00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:00.959
 mouth

00:16:00.959 --> 00:16:02.479
 and you

00:16:02.479 --> 00:16:02.939
 will be

00:16:02.939 --> 00:16:03.659
 his witness

00:16:03.659 --> 00:16:04.559
 to all

00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:05.159
 people

00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:06.099
 of what

00:16:06.099 --> 00:16:06.479
 you have

00:16:06.479 --> 00:16:06.779
 seen

00:16:06.779 --> 00:16:07.359
 and heard.

00:16:07.899 --> 00:16:08.819
 So as Paul

00:16:08.819 --> 00:16:09.259
 went,

00:16:09.659 --> 00:16:10.379
 he only

00:16:10.379 --> 00:16:10.939
 spoke

00:16:10.939 --> 00:16:11.779
 the words

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:13.279
 about Jesus

00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:14.899
 that God

00:16:14.899 --> 00:16:15.839
 had spoken

00:16:15.839 --> 00:16:16.479
 to him.

00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:17.759
 So when

00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:18.180
 Paul

00:16:18.180 --> 00:16:18.759
 arrived

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:19.480
 in Corinth,

00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:20.539
 he came

00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:21.000
 with the

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.620
 authority

00:16:21.620 --> 00:16:22.259
 of God

00:16:22.259 --> 00:16:22.899
 and he

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:23.200
 came

00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:23.720
 with a

00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:24.100
 message

00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:24.860
 from God

00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:25.680
 about

00:16:25.680 --> 00:16:26.180
 Jesus

00:16:26.180 --> 00:16:26.820
 Christ

00:16:26.820 --> 00:16:27.620
 that he

00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:28.519
 is God's

00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:28.899
 saving

00:16:28.899 --> 00:16:29.320
 king

00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:30.120
 and we

00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:30.940
 must

00:16:30.940 --> 00:16:31.879
 believe

00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:32.519
 in him

00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:33.399
 for the

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:33.879
 forgiveness

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:35.240
 of our

00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:35.820
 sins.

00:16:36.820 --> 00:16:37.560
 Let's

00:16:37.560 --> 00:16:38.200
 go back

00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:39.759
 to 2nd

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:40.360
 Corinthians.

00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:42.519
 Now in

00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:43.139
 reading that

00:16:43.139 --> 00:16:43.680
 we might

00:16:43.680 --> 00:16:44.180
 think,

00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:45.519
 isn't

00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:46.019
 Paul

00:16:46.019 --> 00:16:47.199
 amazing?

00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:48.740
 Isn't

00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:49.439
 he great?

00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:50.960
 He went

00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:51.299
 and he

00:16:51.299 --> 00:16:52.039
 planted a

00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:52.620
 church in

00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:52.960
 Corinth.

00:16:54.259 --> 00:16:54.799
 Well at

00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:55.379
 one level

00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:56.179
 he did

00:16:56.179 --> 00:16:57.240
 and he

00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:58.039
 is great

00:16:58.039 --> 00:16:59.199
 but in

00:16:59.199 --> 00:16:59.539
 another

00:16:59.539 --> 00:17:00.179
 reality

00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:01.419
 it was

00:17:01.419 --> 00:17:02.159
 all

00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:03.199
 of God.

00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:04.119
 Do you

00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:04.539
 see that

00:17:04.539 --> 00:17:05.200
 verse 1

00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:05.579
 and this

00:17:05.579 --> 00:17:05.940
 is what

00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:07.180
 he recounts?

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:07.740
 Paul,

00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:08.720
 an apostle

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:09.359
 of Christ

00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:09.980
 Jesus

00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:12.039
 by the

00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:12.759
 will

00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:13.940
 of

00:17:13.940 --> 00:17:14.440
 God.

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:15.859
 Paul

00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:16.279
 didn't

00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:16.639
 save

00:17:16.639 --> 00:17:17.180
 himself,

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:18.119
 he

00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:18.500
 didn't

00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:19.000
 send

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:19.639
 himself

00:17:19.639 --> 00:17:20.599
 and he

00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:20.940
 didn't

00:17:20.940 --> 00:17:21.420
 speak

00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:21.700
 his

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:21.940
 own

00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:22.400
 words.

00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:23.079
 It was

00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:23.879
 all by

00:17:23.879 --> 00:17:24.279
 the

00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:25.200

00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:25.940
 of

00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:26.839
 God.

00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:27.980
 God

00:17:27.980 --> 00:17:28.200
 had

00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:28.759
 planned

00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:29.160
 and

00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:29.680
 purposed

00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:30.299
 all the

00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:30.879
 events.

00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:31.859
 God

00:17:31.859 --> 00:17:32.079
 had

00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:32.639
 saved

00:17:32.639 --> 00:17:32.940
 him

00:17:32.940 --> 00:17:33.379
 and

00:17:33.379 --> 00:17:33.700
 God

00:17:33.700 --> 00:17:34.220
 sent

00:17:34.220 --> 00:17:34.480
 him

00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:34.960
 and

00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:35.339
 God

00:17:35.339 --> 00:17:35.680
 gave

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:35.819
 him

00:17:35.819 --> 00:17:36.019
 the

00:17:36.019 --> 00:17:36.480
 words

00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:36.720
 that

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:36.920
 he

00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:37.160
 was

00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:37.379
 to

00:17:37.379 --> 00:17:37.779
 speak.

00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:38.299
 You

00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:38.579
 see

00:17:38.579 --> 00:17:38.900
 it's

00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:39.599
 God

00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:40.660
 who

00:17:40.660 --> 00:17:41.240
 started

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:42.259
 his

00:17:42.259 --> 00:17:42.879

00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:44.380
 and

00:17:44.380 --> 00:17:44.700
 it's

00:17:44.700 --> 00:17:45.260
 God

00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:47.280
 this

00:17:47.280 --> 00:17:47.960
 church.

00:17:49.140 --> 00:17:49.440
 God

00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:50.260
 had

00:17:50.260 --> 00:17:50.860
 planned

00:17:50.860 --> 00:17:51.140
 and

00:17:51.140 --> 00:17:51.660
 purposed

00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:52.300
 before

 time

00:17:52.940 --> 00:17:53.440

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:54.280
 all

00:17:54.280 --> 00:17:54.520
 the

00:17:54.520 --> 00:17:55.060
 events

00:17:55.060 --> 00:17:55.600
 to

00:17:55.600 --> 00:17:56.100
 bring

00:17:56.100 --> 00:17:57.420

 Church

00:17:58.520 --> 00:17:59.300
 into

00:17:59.300 --> 00:18:00.200
 existence.

00:18:00.900 --> 00:18:01.700
 People

00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:02.320
 who brought

00:18:02.320 --> 00:18:03.140
 the same

00:18:03.140 --> 00:18:03.840
 message

00:18:03.840 --> 00:18:05.360
 that Paul

00:18:05.360 --> 00:18:05.920
 had heard

00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:06.380
 and he

00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:06.840
 passed

00:18:06.840 --> 00:18:07.360
 down to

00:18:07.360 --> 00:18:07.740
 others

00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:08.260
 through the

00:18:08.260 --> 00:18:08.780
 centuries

00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:09.720
 that we

00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:10.359
 now have

00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:10.700
 written

00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:11.059
 down

00:18:11.059 --> 00:18:11.799
 for us

00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:12.920
 people

00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:13.160
 have

00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:13.740
 heard

00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:14.519
 and

00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:15.299
 believed

00:18:15.299 --> 00:18:16.079
 and have

00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:18.980
 part

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:19.940
 of this

00:18:19.940 --> 00:18:20.519
 local

00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:21.460
 church.

00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:23.680
 As

00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:24.039
 Paul

00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:24.599
 said

00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:25.639
 in his

00:18:25.639 --> 00:18:26.039
 first

00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:26.500
 letter

00:18:26.500 --> 00:18:28.180
 I

00:18:28.180 --> 00:18:28.819
 planted

00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:29.139
 the

00:18:29.139 --> 00:18:29.500
 seed

00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:29.980
 I

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:30.339
 brought

00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:30.539
 the

00:18:30.539 --> 00:18:30.759
 good

00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:31.019
 news

00:18:31.019 --> 00:18:31.200
 of

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:31.639
 Jesus

00:18:31.639 --> 00:18:32.519
 Apollos

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:33.160
 watered

00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:33.559
 he

00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:33.980
 began

00:18:33.980 --> 00:18:34.220
 to

00:18:34.220 --> 00:18:34.519
 teach

00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:34.960
 others

00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:36.240
 but

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:36.940
 God

00:18:36.940 --> 00:18:37.559
 made

00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:37.899
 it

00:18:37.899 --> 00:18:38.539
 grow

00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:39.759
 so

00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:40.059
 neither

00:18:40.059 --> 00:18:40.339
 the

00:18:40.339 --> 00:18:40.700
 one

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:40.920
 who

00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:41.639
 plants

00:18:41.639 --> 00:18:42.740
 nor

00:18:42.740 --> 00:18:42.920
 the

00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:43.399
 one

00:18:43.399 --> 00:18:43.680
 who

00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:44.259
 waters

00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:45.440
 is

00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:46.200
 anything

00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.240
 but

00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:48.859
 only

00:18:48.859 --> 00:18:50.259
 God

00:18:50.259 --> 00:18:51.559
 who

00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:51.940
 makes

00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:52.500
 things

00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:53.659
 grow.

00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:55.299
 So

00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:55.839
 God

00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:56.240
 is the

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:56.579
 one

00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:57.500
 who

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:58.240
 begins

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:59.220
 the

00:18:59.220 --> 00:18:59.799
 church.

00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:01.819
 Second

00:19:01.819 --> 00:19:04.460
 the

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:04.960
 church

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:05.879
 belongs

00:19:05.879 --> 00:19:06.460
 to

00:19:06.460 --> 00:19:06.879
 God.

00:19:07.619 --> 00:19:08.000
 Again

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:08.240
 we're

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:08.359
 going

00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:08.440
 to

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:08.619
 look

00:19:08.619 --> 00:19:08.759
 at

00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:09.039
 three

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:09.599
 things

00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:10.319
 all

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:10.579

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:11.400

00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:11.579
 of

00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:11.940
 verse

00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:12.839
 one.

00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:13.380
 Let's

00:19:13.380 --> 00:19:13.859
 read

00:19:13.859 --> 00:19:14.839
 the

00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:15.079
 second

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:15.380
 part

00:19:15.380 --> 00:19:15.480
 of

00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:15.640
 verse

00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:15.839
 one.

00:19:15.940 --> 00:19:16.019
 To

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:16.160
 the

00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:16.819
 church

00:19:16.819 --> 00:19:17.539
 of

00:19:17.539 --> 00:19:18.140
 God

00:19:18.140 --> 00:19:18.539
 in

00:19:18.539 --> 00:19:19.099
 Corinth

00:19:19.099 --> 00:19:20.240
 together

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:20.519
 with

00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:21.059

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:24.500
 Achaia.

00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:26.019
 Three

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:26.619
 things to

00:19:26.619 --> 00:19:26.980
 note.

00:19:28.059 --> 00:19:28.619
 First

00:19:28.619 --> 00:19:30.180
 we belong

00:19:30.180 --> 00:19:30.460
 to

00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:30.859
 God.

00:19:30.940 --> 00:19:31.079
 Do you

00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:31.380
 see it

00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:31.680
 there in

00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:31.880
 verse

00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:32.200
 one?

00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:32.900
 To

00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:33.220
 the

00:19:36.419 --> 00:19:36.659
 You

00:19:36.659 --> 00:19:37.019
 see if

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:37.319

 heard

00:19:37.979 --> 00:19:38.259

00:19:39.139 --> 00:19:39.579

00:19:39.579 --> 00:19:40.279

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:40.579
 we've

00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:41.159
 trusted

00:19:41.159 --> 00:19:41.479
 in

00:19:41.479 --> 00:19:41.759
 him

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.379
 we

00:19:42.379 --> 00:19:42.839
 become

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:43.619
 part

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:44.079
 of

 God's

00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:45.679
 church.

00:19:46.339 --> 00:19:47.119
 We

00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:47.500
 become

00:19:49.419 --> 00:19:49.519
 We

00:19:51.959 --> 00:19:52.319
 And

00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:52.679
 that's

00:19:52.679 --> 00:19:53.079
 really

00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:53.659
 important

00:19:53.659 --> 00:19:54.099
 for us

00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:54.319
 to

00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:54.699
 note

00:19:54.699 --> 00:19:55.419
 because

00:19:55.419 --> 00:19:55.679
 it

00:19:55.679 --> 00:19:56.039
 means

00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:56.259
 that

00:19:56.259 --> 00:19:56.500
 when

00:19:56.500 --> 00:19:56.719
 we

00:19:56.719 --> 00:19:57.119
 belong

00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:57.359
 to

00:19:57.359 --> 00:19:57.779
 God

00:19:57.779 --> 00:19:58.419
 we

00:19:58.419 --> 00:19:58.899
 belong

00:19:58.899 --> 00:19:59.179
 to

00:19:59.179 --> 00:19:59.559
 him

00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:00.719
 forever.

00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.720
 eternally.

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:03.600
 Just

00:20:03.600 --> 00:20:03.880
 have a

00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:04.319
 look over

00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:04.519
 at

00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:04.799
 chapter

00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:05.160
 one

00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:05.460
 verse

00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:05.839
 twenty

00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:06.319
 one.

00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:09.339
 We're

00:20:09.339 --> 00:20:09.839
 reminded

00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:10.559
 of how

00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:11.240
 we belong

00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:11.740
 to God

00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:12.220
 forever.

00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:13.200
 Now

00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:13.900
 it is

00:20:13.900 --> 00:20:15.160
 God

00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:15.900
 who

00:20:15.900 --> 00:20:16.339
 makes

00:20:16.339 --> 00:20:16.880
 both

00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:17.559
 of us

00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:18.480
 and

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:18.940
 you

00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:20.339
 stand

00:20:20.339 --> 00:20:20.960
 firm

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.039
 in

00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:22.620
 Christ.

00:20:23.620 --> 00:20:23.980
 He

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:24.460
 anointed

00:20:24.460 --> 00:20:24.980
 us

00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:25.900
 and set

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:26.460
 his seal

00:20:26.460 --> 00:20:26.640
 of

00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:27.500
 ownership

00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:28.120
 on

00:20:28.120 --> 00:20:28.539
 us

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:29.759
 and

00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:29.980
 put

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:30.180
 his

00:20:30.180 --> 00:20:30.620
 spirit

00:20:30.619 --> 00:20:30.819
 in

00:20:30.819 --> 00:20:31.019
 our

00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:31.379
 hearts

00:20:31.379 --> 00:20:31.599
 as

00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:31.739
 a

00:20:31.739 --> 00:20:32.239
 deposit

00:20:32.239 --> 00:20:33.179
 guaranteeing

00:20:33.179 --> 00:20:33.399
 what

00:20:33.399 --> 00:20:33.599
 is

00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:33.759
 to

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:34.099
 come.

00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:35.179
 It's

00:20:35.179 --> 00:20:35.619
 God

00:20:35.619 --> 00:20:35.859
 who

00:20:35.859 --> 00:20:36.179
 makes

00:20:36.179 --> 00:20:36.359
 you

00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:36.699
 stand

00:20:36.699 --> 00:20:37.059
 firm.

00:20:37.539 --> 00:20:37.779
 It's

00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:38.259
 God

00:20:38.259 --> 00:20:38.459
 who

00:20:38.459 --> 00:20:38.779
 puts

00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:39.039
 his

00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:39.579
 seal

00:20:39.579 --> 00:20:39.959
 of

00:20:39.959 --> 00:20:40.799
 ownership

00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:41.279
 of

00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:42.279
 belonging

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:43.399
 upon

00:20:43.399 --> 00:20:44.099
 us.

00:20:45.139 --> 00:20:45.439
 So

00:20:45.439 --> 00:20:45.619
 we're

00:20:45.619 --> 00:20:45.899
 his

00:20:45.899 --> 00:20:46.359
 forever.

00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:46.939
 We

00:20:46.939 --> 00:20:47.579
 belong

00:20:47.579 --> 00:20:47.859
 to

00:20:47.859 --> 00:20:48.179
 him

00:20:48.179 --> 00:20:49.079
 for

00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:50.059
 eternity.

00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:51.939
 But

00:20:51.939 --> 00:20:52.079
 it

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:52.439
 also

00:20:52.439 --> 00:20:53.099
 means

00:20:53.099 --> 00:20:54.399
 that

00:20:54.399 --> 00:20:54.579
 we

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:55.099
 belong

00:20:55.099 --> 00:20:55.559
 to

00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:56.179
 each

00:20:56.179 --> 00:20:56.799
 other.

00:20:57.459 --> 00:20:57.559
 Do

00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:57.659
 you

00:20:57.659 --> 00:20:57.819
 see

00:20:57.819 --> 00:20:58.039
 there

00:20:58.039 --> 00:20:58.139
 a

00:20:58.139 --> 00:20:58.339
 very

00:20:58.339 --> 00:20:58.739
 simple

00:20:58.739 --> 00:20:59.259
 phrase

00:20:59.259 --> 00:20:59.859
 to

00:20:59.859 --> 00:21:00.119
 the

00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:00.599
 church

00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:00.939
 of

00:21:00.939 --> 00:21:01.479
 God

00:21:01.479 --> 00:21:03.740
 in

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:04.379
 Corinth.

00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:06.199
 So

00:21:06.199 --> 00:21:06.359
 it

00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:06.539
 is

00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:06.740
 for

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:07.099
 us

00:21:07.099 --> 00:21:07.659
 we

00:21:07.659 --> 00:21:07.839
 are

00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:08.039

00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:08.519
 church

00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:08.759
 of

00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:09.119

00:21:09.679 --> 00:21:10.879
 Carigoline.

00:21:11.539 --> 00:21:11.740
 You

00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:11.979
 see

00:21:11.979 --> 00:21:12.279
 our

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:12.939
 belonging

00:21:12.939 --> 00:21:13.279

00:21:13.659 --> 00:21:13.859
 and

00:21:13.859 --> 00:21:14.039
 our

00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:14.599
 relationship

00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:14.879
 with

00:21:14.879 --> 00:21:15.159
 God

00:21:15.159 --> 00:21:15.639
 is

00:21:15.639 --> 00:21:16.059
 always

00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:16.779
 expressed

00:21:16.779 --> 00:21:17.039
 in

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.219
 our

00:21:17.219 --> 00:21:17.719
 belonging

00:21:17.719 --> 00:21:18.119
 to

00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:18.439
 a

00:21:18.439 --> 00:21:19.279
 local

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:19.959
 church.

00:21:20.919 --> 00:21:21.219
 None

00:21:21.219 --> 00:21:21.500
 of us

00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:21.659
 can

00:21:21.659 --> 00:21:21.859
 ever

00:21:21.859 --> 00:21:22.199
 say

00:21:22.199 --> 00:21:22.819
 I

00:21:22.819 --> 00:21:23.240
 belong

00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:23.500
 to

00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:24.059
 God

00:21:24.059 --> 00:21:25.359
 but

00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:25.519
 I

00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:25.859
 don't

00:21:25.859 --> 00:21:26.219
 belong

00:21:26.219 --> 00:21:26.459
 to

00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:27.379
 church.

00:21:28.379 --> 00:21:29.039
 The

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:29.299
 Bible

00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:29.700
 doesn't

00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:30.019
 think

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:30.160
 of

00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:30.259

00:21:32.299 --> 00:21:32.539
 The

00:21:32.539 --> 00:21:32.980

 Carigoline.

00:21:42.779 --> 00:21:43.119
 And

00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:43.240
 the

00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:43.440
 way

00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:43.720
 we

00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:44.180
 show

00:21:44.180 --> 00:21:44.420
 our

 belonging

00:21:45.059 --> 00:21:45.400
 to

00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:50.000
 membership.

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:51.299
 It's

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:51.559
 saying

00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:52.319
 I'm

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:52.700
 committed

00:21:52.700 --> 00:21:52.940
 to

00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:53.180
 God.

00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:53.480
 Yes

00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:53.660
 I

 but

00:21:55.460 --> 00:21:55.599
 I

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:55.920
 also

00:21:56.539 --> 00:21:56.940
 you.

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:58.380
 I'm

00:21:58.380 --> 00:21:58.740
 committed

 I'm

00:22:02.580 --> 00:22:03.019
 We

00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:03.640

00:24:40.300 --> 00:24:40.620
 that

00:24:40.620 --> 00:24:40.980
 God

00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:41.560
 uses

00:24:41.560 --> 00:24:42.680
 to

00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:42.880
 do

00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:43.140
 his

00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:43.480
 work

00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:43.700
 the

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:44.039
 people

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.259
 who

00:24:44.259 --> 00:24:44.660
 belong

00:24:44.660 --> 00:24:44.880
 to

00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:45.099
 him.

00:24:45.180 --> 00:24:45.400
 Let's

00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:45.599
 pick

00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:45.720
 it

00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:45.880
 up

00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:46.200
 chapter

00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:46.700
 1

00:24:46.700 --> 00:24:47.940
 verse

00:24:47.940 --> 00:24:48.920
 26

00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.839
 Brothers

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:53.160
 and

00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:53.500
 sisters

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:54.059
 think

00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:54.460
 of what

00:24:54.460 --> 00:24:54.680
 you

00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:55.019
 were

00:24:55.019 --> 00:24:55.319
 when

00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:55.519
 you

00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:55.660
 were

00:24:55.660 --> 00:24:56.120
 called

00:24:56.120 --> 00:24:56.640
 when

00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:56.779
 you

00:24:56.779 --> 00:24:57.279
 became

00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:58.240
 a

00:24:58.240 --> 00:24:58.740
 Christian.

00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:00.299
 Not

00:25:00.299 --> 00:25:00.579
 many

00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:00.920
 of you

00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:01.120
 were

00:25:01.120 --> 00:25:01.900
 wise

00:25:01.900 --> 00:25:02.180
 by

00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:02.539
 human

00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:03.299
 standards.

00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:04.620
 Not

00:25:04.620 --> 00:25:04.880
 many

00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:05.099
 were

00:25:05.099 --> 00:25:05.680
 influential.

00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:06.019
 Not

00:25:06.019 --> 00:25:06.259
 many

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:06.460
 were

00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:06.620
 of

00:25:06.620 --> 00:25:06.880
 noble

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:07.279
 birth.

00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:08.720
 But

00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:09.099
 God

00:25:09.099 --> 00:25:09.640
 chose

00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:10.019
 the

00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:10.980
 foolish

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:11.599
 things

00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:12.000
 of the

00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:12.500
 world

00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:13.700
 to shame

00:25:13.700 --> 00:25:13.920
 the

00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:14.480
 wise.

00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:16.019
 God

00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:16.440
 chose

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:16.700
 the

00:25:16.700 --> 00:25:17.259
 weak

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:17.960
 things

00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:18.579
 of the

00:25:18.579 --> 00:25:19.079
 world

00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:20.460
 to shame

00:25:20.460 --> 00:25:20.680
 the

00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:21.220
 strong.

00:25:22.579 --> 00:25:23.059
 Now go

00:25:23.059 --> 00:25:23.480
 down to

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:24.240
 chapter 2

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:25.400
 verse 1

00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:27.559
 and Paul

00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:27.980
 says,

00:25:28.099 --> 00:25:28.460
 so it

00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:28.920
 was

00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:30.119
 with me

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:31.160
 brothers and

00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:31.599
 sisters.

00:25:32.380 --> 00:25:33.000
 When I

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:33.420
 came to

00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:33.680
 you I

00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:33.980
 didn't

00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:34.599
 come with

00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:35.700
 eloquence

00:25:35.700 --> 00:25:36.839
 or human

00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:37.319
 wisdom.

00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:38.599
 It

00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:38.920
 wasn't

00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:39.579
 about my

00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:40.140
 impressive

00:25:40.140 --> 00:25:40.740
 speaking

00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:41.600
 or my

00:25:41.600 --> 00:25:42.100
 wonderful

00:25:42.100 --> 00:25:42.740
 training.

00:25:43.080 --> 00:25:43.660
 Verse 3

00:25:43.660 --> 00:25:45.280
 I

00:25:45.280 --> 00:25:45.780
 came to

00:25:45.780 --> 00:25:46.280
 you in

00:25:46.280 --> 00:25:47.340
 weakness

00:25:47.340 --> 00:25:48.759
 with

00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:49.160
 great

00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:49.740
 fear

00:25:49.740 --> 00:25:50.020
 and

00:25:50.020 --> 00:25:50.580
 trembling.

00:25:51.660 --> 00:25:51.800
 My

00:25:51.800 --> 00:25:52.380
 message

00:25:52.380 --> 00:25:52.780
 and my

00:25:52.780 --> 00:25:53.240
 preaching

00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:54.020
 were not

00:25:54.020 --> 00:25:54.860
 with wise

00:25:54.860 --> 00:25:55.620
 and persuasive

00:25:55.620 --> 00:25:56.640
 words but

00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:57.100
 with a

00:25:57.100 --> 00:25:57.960
 demonstration

00:25:57.960 --> 00:25:58.700
 of the

00:25:58.700 --> 00:25:59.340
 Spirit's

00:25:59.340 --> 00:26:00.420
 power so

00:26:00.420 --> 00:26:01.040
 that your

00:26:01.040 --> 00:26:02.400
 faith might

00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:03.120
 not rest

00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:03.900
 on human

00:26:03.900 --> 00:26:04.320
 wisdom,

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:04.860
 on my

00:26:04.860 --> 00:26:05.580
 cleverness

00:26:05.580 --> 00:26:05.900
 and all

00:26:05.900 --> 00:26:06.540
 my wonderful

00:26:06.540 --> 00:26:07.840
 ideas but

00:26:07.840 --> 00:26:08.880
 on God's

00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:10.120
 power.

00:26:12.340 --> 00:26:13.160
 Let's go

00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:13.680
 back to

00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:13.960
 2

00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:14.560
 Corinthians.

00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:16.520
 You see

00:26:16.520 --> 00:26:17.260
 we belong

00:26:17.260 --> 00:26:18.060
 to God

00:26:18.060 --> 00:26:19.780
 and we

00:26:19.780 --> 00:26:20.700
 belong to

00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:22.040
 God as

00:26:22.040 --> 00:26:22.580
 he does

00:26:22.580 --> 00:26:23.420
 his work

00:26:23.420 --> 00:26:24.880
 through weak

00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:26.520
 people like

00:26:26.520 --> 00:26:27.020
 us.

00:26:27.860 --> 00:26:28.740
 So he

00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:30.020
 begins the

00:26:30.020 --> 00:26:30.640
 church, we

00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:31.320
 belong to

00:26:31.320 --> 00:26:31.960
 the church

00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:33.960
 and third

00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:34.640
 the church

00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:35.640
 is blessed

00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:37.200
 by God

00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:38.340
 because

00:26:38.340 --> 00:26:39.039
 this is

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.940
 God's

00:26:39.940 --> 00:26:40.519
 church

00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:41.640
 he will

00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:42.340
 ensure that

00:26:42.340 --> 00:26:43.380
 everything we

00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:44.519
 need is

00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:45.420
 provided for

00:26:45.420 --> 00:26:46.200
 so that we're

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:46.779
 not lacking

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.360
 anything.

00:26:48.580 --> 00:26:49.600
 Have a look

00:26:49.600 --> 00:26:50.340
 at verse 2

00:26:50.340 --> 00:26:53.480
 Grace

00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:54.279
 and peace

00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:54.840
 to you

00:26:54.840 --> 00:26:56.400
 from God

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:57.100
 our Father

00:26:57.100 --> 00:26:58.360
 and the

00:26:58.360 --> 00:26:59.039
 Lord Jesus

00:26:59.039 --> 00:26:59.819
 Christ.

00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:02.360
 Two things

00:27:02.360 --> 00:27:03.819
 that God

00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:04.880
 gives to

00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:05.680
 his church

00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:06.220
 today

00:27:06.220 --> 00:27:07.880
 two blessings

00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:09.080
 that we

00:27:09.080 --> 00:27:09.700
 can count

00:27:09.700 --> 00:27:10.019
 on.

00:27:10.860 --> 00:27:11.420
 First

00:27:11.420 --> 00:27:13.420
 the gift

00:27:13.420 --> 00:27:14.840
 of grace.

00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:16.779
 Grace in

00:27:16.779 --> 00:27:17.279
 the Bible

00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:18.660
 always refers

00:27:18.660 --> 00:27:19.840
 to God's

00:27:19.840 --> 00:27:20.600
 undeserved

00:27:20.600 --> 00:27:21.240
 favour

00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:22.620
 towards people

00:27:22.620 --> 00:27:23.420
 like us.

00:27:23.420 --> 00:27:24.759
 It's God's

00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:25.299
 goodness

00:27:25.299 --> 00:27:26.759
 and his

00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:27.440
 kindness

00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:28.720
 that we

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.519
 don't

00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:30.360
 deserve.

00:27:31.940 --> 00:27:32.519
 Let me

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:32.839
 give you

00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:33.900
 two examples

00:27:33.900 --> 00:27:35.680
 of God's

00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:36.259
 wonderful

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:36.799
 grace

00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:37.420
 to people

00:27:37.420 --> 00:27:38.240
 like us.

00:27:39.139 --> 00:27:39.799
 Go to

00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:40.599
 chapter 8

00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:42.059
 verse 9

00:27:42.059 --> 00:27:44.920
 You'll

00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:45.639
 know this

00:27:45.639 --> 00:27:51.879
 chapter 8

00:27:51.879 --> 00:27:52.700
 verse 9

00:27:52.700 --> 00:27:55.059
 an example

00:27:55.059 --> 00:27:55.859
 of God's

00:27:55.859 --> 00:27:56.980
 undeserved

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:57.720
 favour

00:27:57.720 --> 00:27:58.980
 goodness

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.879
 and kindness

00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:01.460
 here it

00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:01.840
 is

00:28:01.840 --> 00:28:03.520
 for you

00:28:03.520 --> 00:28:03.980
 know

00:28:03.980 --> 00:28:04.860
 verse 9

00:28:04.860 --> 00:28:06.360
 the grace

00:28:06.360 --> 00:28:07.160
 of our

00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:07.840
 Lord Jesus

00:28:07.840 --> 00:28:08.480
 Christ

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:10.160
 that though

00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:10.940
 he was

00:28:10.940 --> 00:28:11.600
 rich

00:28:11.600 --> 00:28:13.220
 yet for

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:14.000
 your sake

00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:14.720
 he became

00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:15.340
 poor

00:28:15.340 --> 00:28:17.140

00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:17.600
 you

00:28:17.600 --> 00:28:18.000

00:28:18.360 --> 00:28:18.920
 poverty

00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:20.380
 might

00:28:20.380 --> 00:28:20.820
 become

00:28:20.820 --> 00:28:21.440
 rich.

00:28:22.800 --> 00:28:23.660
 Christ

00:28:23.660 --> 00:28:25.440
 who had

00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.020
 everything

00:28:26.020 --> 00:28:28.540
 the eternal

00:28:28.540 --> 00:28:29.140
 God

00:28:29.140 --> 00:28:30.820
 stepping

00:28:30.820 --> 00:28:31.580
 into this

00:28:31.580 --> 00:28:32.160
 broken

00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:32.860
 world

00:28:32.860 --> 00:28:33.660
 taking

00:28:33.660 --> 00:28:34.540
 on flesh

00:28:34.540 --> 00:28:35.580
 just like

00:28:35.580 --> 00:28:36.000
 you and

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:36.259
 I

00:28:36.259 --> 00:28:37.460
 but taking

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:38.420
 on our

00:28:38.420 --> 00:28:38.980
 sin

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:41.220
 becoming

00:28:41.220 --> 00:28:41.940
 poor

00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:43.600
 taking

00:28:43.600 --> 00:28:44.320
 the blame

00:28:44.320 --> 00:28:44.920
 for all

00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:45.400
 the wrong

00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:46.020
 things that

00:28:46.020 --> 00:28:46.440
 we have

00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:46.800
 done

00:28:46.800 --> 00:28:47.720
 so that

00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:48.560
 we might

00:28:48.560 --> 00:28:49.259
 become

00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:50.640
 rich

00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:53.420
 in all

00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:55.960
 and kindness

00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:57.520
 that God

00:28:57.520 --> 00:28:58.100
 would pour

00:28:58.099 --> 00:28:58.579
 out on

00:28:58.579 --> 00:28:58.859
 his

00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:16.679
 is talking

00:29:16.679 --> 00:29:17.359
 about a

00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:18.259
 particular

00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:19.000
 suffering

00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:19.559
 in his

00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:20.099
 life

00:29:20.099 --> 00:29:24.279
 chapter 12

00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:24.859
 verse 8

00:29:24.859 --> 00:29:26.099
 three times

00:29:26.099 --> 00:29:26.819
 I pleaded

00:29:26.819 --> 00:29:27.219
 with the

00:29:27.219 --> 00:29:27.419
 Lord

00:29:27.419 --> 00:29:27.979
 take it

00:29:27.979 --> 00:29:28.279
 away

00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:28.939
 take this

00:29:28.939 --> 00:29:30.039
 suffering

00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:30.619
 out of

00:29:30.619 --> 00:29:31.339
 my life

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:34.559
 but God

00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:35.059
 said to

00:29:35.059 --> 00:29:35.339
 me

00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:36.839
 my

00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:37.759
 grace

00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:39.599
 is

00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:40.099
 sufficient

00:29:40.099 --> 00:29:40.839
 for you

00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:42.399
 for my

00:29:42.399 --> 00:29:43.099
 power

00:29:43.099 --> 00:29:44.379
 is made

00:29:44.379 --> 00:29:45.099
 perfect

00:29:45.099 --> 00:29:46.699
 in weakness

00:29:46.700 --> 00:29:50.319
 we

00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:50.819
 sang

00:29:50.819 --> 00:29:51.200
 didn't

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:51.519
 we

00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:53.140
 Christ

00:29:53.140 --> 00:29:54.319
 is

00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:54.940
 enough

00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:56.220
 for me

00:29:56.220 --> 00:29:57.539
 the

00:29:57.539 --> 00:29:58.220
 grace

00:29:58.220 --> 00:29:58.900
 of

00:29:58.900 --> 00:29:59.500
 Christ

00:29:59.500 --> 00:30:00.360
 is

00:30:00.360 --> 00:30:00.779
 sufficient

00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:01.120
 to

00:30:01.120 --> 00:30:01.620
 save

00:30:01.620 --> 00:30:01.980
 us

00:30:01.980 --> 00:30:02.500
 from

00:30:02.500 --> 00:30:02.799
 our

00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:03.140
 sin

00:30:03.140 --> 00:30:04.340
 and

00:30:04.340 --> 00:30:04.580
 to

00:30:04.580 --> 00:30:05.500
 strengthen

00:30:05.500 --> 00:30:06.059
 us

00:30:06.059 --> 00:30:06.980
 in

00:30:06.980 --> 00:30:07.200
 our

00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:07.759
 suffering

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:09.799
 what a

00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:10.259
 wonderful

00:30:10.259 --> 00:30:10.900
 gift

00:30:10.900 --> 00:30:11.559
 that

00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:11.960
 God

00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:12.600
 gives

00:30:12.600 --> 00:30:13.220
 to

00:30:13.220 --> 00:30:13.580
 his

00:30:13.580 --> 00:30:14.160
 people

00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:14.799
 his

00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:15.420
 church

00:30:15.420 --> 00:30:17.320
 not only

00:30:17.320 --> 00:30:17.660
 is the

00:30:17.660 --> 00:30:18.039
 blessing

00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:18.320
 of

00:30:18.320 --> 00:30:18.860
 grace

00:30:18.860 --> 00:30:20.360
 but

00:30:20.360 --> 00:30:20.600
 there's

00:30:20.600 --> 00:30:20.800
 the

00:30:20.800 --> 00:30:21.180
 blessing

00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:22.039
 of

00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:22.640
 peace

00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:23.920
 and

00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:24.300
 peace

00:30:24.300 --> 00:30:24.620
 in the

00:30:24.620 --> 00:30:24.960
 Bible

00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:25.460
 is not

00:30:25.460 --> 00:30:25.740
 just

00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:26.000
 the

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:26.600
 absence

00:30:26.600 --> 00:30:27.080
 of

00:30:27.080 --> 00:30:28.080
 conflict

00:30:28.080 --> 00:30:28.440
 and

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:28.980
 trouble

00:30:28.980 --> 00:30:29.640
 it's

00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:29.960
 about

00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:30.700
 primarily

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:31.019
 a

00:30:31.019 --> 00:30:31.740
 restored

00:30:31.740 --> 00:30:32.060

00:30:32.820 --> 00:30:33.580

00:30:33.580 --> 00:30:33.900

00:30:34.300 --> 00:30:34.480

00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:35.080
 others

00:30:35.080 --> 00:30:35.860
 so

00:30:35.860 --> 00:30:36.100
 just

00:30:36.100 --> 00:30:36.320
 look

00:30:36.320 --> 00:30:36.620
 over
