00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.339
 You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.519
! Our passion is to experience and express grace. Join us.

00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:12.359
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.560
 They are commendations for their good works.

00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.679
 That we would learn from the encouragement they get in their suffering.

00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:46.079
 That we'd learn from some of the stinging rebukes and warnings that he gives to his church.

00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:52.500
 You're going to start to recognize some of the themes in this fourth letter this morning from previous ones.

00:00:52.620 --> 00:00:54.359
 But then we're going to hear some new challenges.

00:00:55.340 --> 00:00:59.200
 As we move this morning to the end of Revelation 2,

00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:04.740
 in the church at Thyatira at verse 18.

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:15.579
 This is God's holy word for his holy people made so by Jesus' holy blood.

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.200
 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write,

00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:25.219
 The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire,

00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:28.540
 and whose feet are like burnished bronze.

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.219
 I know your works.

00:01:31.219 --> 00:01:36.120
 Your love and faith and service and patient endurance.

00:01:36.540 --> 00:01:38.640
 And that your latter works exceed the first.

00:01:40.379 --> 00:01:42.439
 But I have this against you.

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.819
 That you tolerate that woman Jezebel,

00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:45.819


00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:53.579
 who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality

00:01:53.579 --> 00:01:56.759
 and to eat food sacrificed to idols.

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.959
 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.

00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.879
 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed.

00:02:05.979 --> 00:02:13.259
 And those who commit adultery with her, I will throw into great tribulation unless they repent of her works.

00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:15.579
 And I will strike her children dead.

00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:20.319
 And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart.

00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.479
 And I will give to each of you as your works deserve.

00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:29.239
 But to the rest of you in Thyatira who do not hold this teaching,

00:02:29.399 --> 00:02:33.039
 who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan,

00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:36.780
 to you I say I do not lay on you any other burden.

00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:41.219
 Only hold fast what you have until I come.

00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.339
 The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end,

00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:47.639
 to him I will give authority over the nations.

00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:52.819
 And he will rule them with a rod of iron as when earthen pots are broken in pieces,

00:02:53.179 --> 00:02:57.139
 even as I myself have received authority from my Father.

00:02:58.279 --> 00:03:00.579
 And I will give him the morning star.

00:03:02.259 --> 00:03:06.779
 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

00:03:11.339 --> 00:03:14.899
 Imagine this morning that you're a man named Doc,

00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:19.340
 a dentist who just moved to Thyatira, okay?

00:03:19.740 --> 00:03:20.960
 Imagine, imagine.

00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:26.219
 Immediately you join the local dentist guild

00:03:26.219 --> 00:03:28.860
 because it is the only way that you can be approved

00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:31.120
 to do your job and have connections.

00:03:31.540 --> 00:03:33.759
 And shortly after you come to the city

00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.960
 is the annual Thyatira Dentist Guild feast.

00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.620
 It's a big deal and you're loving it.

00:03:40.700 --> 00:03:43.439
 You're mixing and mingling over appetizers.

00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.219
 As you talk to people, you're thinking,

00:03:45.379 --> 00:03:48.300
 oh, this is the place I need to be.

00:03:48.460 --> 00:03:50.419
 Everybody I need to know is here.

00:03:52.379 --> 00:03:53.620
 But then you're seated

00:03:53.620 --> 00:03:57.719
 and they begin offering each of the dishes

00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.740
 that you're about to be served to Apollo,

00:04:01.379 --> 00:04:04.280
 the patron god of Thyatira.

00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:06.719
 And everyone there is taking a turn,

00:04:07.079 --> 00:04:09.439
 doing the sacrifices, praying to Apollo.

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.479
 Apollo and it's coming around the table to you.

00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:14.879
 You're confused.

00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:16.759
 And so you rack your brain.

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:18.899
 You excuse yourself to use the restroom

00:04:18.899 --> 00:04:23.639
 and you get, of course, your cell phone out.

00:04:23.740 --> 00:04:24.879
 Of course, that's what they would have done.

00:04:25.339 --> 00:04:29.939
 And you realize you have only one Thyatira number

00:04:29.939 --> 00:04:31.120
 in your phone.

00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.959
 It's the man you met at church yesterday.

00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.799
 He invited you to come to Bible study

00:04:36.799 --> 00:04:38.659
 that he leads at his house tomorrow.

00:04:39.859 --> 00:04:41.279
 And so you call him up

00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:42.500
 and you tell him about the food

00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:44.659
 being sacrificed to Apollo

00:04:44.659 --> 00:04:47.180
 and you whisper, what do I do?

00:04:49.620 --> 00:04:52.399
 Don't worry about it, he says.

00:04:53.139 --> 00:04:54.719
 Just say it.

00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:55.779
 Just go along with it.

00:04:55.939 --> 00:04:57.759
 You don't really mean it anyway.

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:03.060
 And man, God has you there in this city

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:04.639
 to make money, right?

00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.420
 Your family needs it.

00:05:06.659 --> 00:05:08.680
 Hey man, the church needs it.

00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:13.079
 All right, you say.

00:05:14.019 --> 00:05:15.839
 And you're about to hang up and he says,

00:05:15.899 --> 00:05:19.759
 hey doc, you sound pretty uptight.

00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:21.939
 Let me just tell you,

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.000
 when the women come out,

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.240
 just relax and enjoy yourself, okay?

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.839
 Remember that you're not actually doing anything

00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.779
 and your wife never needs to know.

00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:36.519
 Just have fun.

00:05:39.860 --> 00:05:40.459
 Okay.

00:05:41.779 --> 00:05:44.160
 You sit back down at the table.

00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.779
 You missed the sacrifices.

00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:48.560
 You skipped out on that one.

00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.740
 But sure enough, as dinner starts,

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:52.579
 women come out.

00:05:52.579 --> 00:05:54.879
 Things start to get more debaucherous.

00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:56.920
 And you're unsure.

00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.500
 I mean, you would have said no before,

00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.040
 but the guy from church,

00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:04.740
 he said it was okay.

00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:05.740
 He seemed to know.

00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:07.279
 He leads a Bible study.

00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.420
 Now imagine you're Sally, okay?

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:14.839
 Switching stories.

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:18.620
 You're a freshman at Thyatira University,

00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:20.379
 the fighting Jezebels.

00:06:21.339 --> 00:06:21.600
 Mm-hmm.

00:06:23.219 --> 00:06:24.899
 You don't want to play them next weekend.

00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:27.800
 You're a little nervous.

00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:32.120
 It's your first week on campus, right?

00:06:32.259 --> 00:06:37.319
 And you're dying to get in with this one sorority,

00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.620
 this group of girls that you've always heard about.

00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:41.980
 They're really cool.

00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:42.540
 They're in.

00:06:42.699 --> 00:06:43.779
 But they're good girls.

00:06:43.779 --> 00:06:48.399
 I mean, even the senior girl leading the college class at church this morning

00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:49.559
 said they were good.

00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:53.279
 And you get to the first party,

00:06:53.479 --> 00:06:58.439
 and you're a little bit uncomfortable as you pass statues of Zeus on your way in.

00:06:58.500 --> 00:06:59.719
 You kind of look over,

00:06:59.919 --> 00:07:03.919
 and the senior assures you they're just to make sure everyone feels welcome.

00:07:04.239 --> 00:07:06.099
 That's really important, right?

00:07:07.179 --> 00:07:08.119
 Yeah, I guess so.

00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.939
 Well, as the night goes on, though, your discomfort returns.

00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.280
 Guys start bidding on girls like it's an auction,

00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.060
 and then they are disappearing with them.

00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:23.280
 And your blood pressure's going up.

00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:24.120
 You're desperate.

00:07:24.259 --> 00:07:26.920
 You turn to the senior girl from church,

00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:28.180
 and you say, what do I do?

00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.420
 And she says, oh, oh, no.

00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.319
 It's just the initiation.

00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.660
 It's really no big deal.

00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.399
 Just go with it.

00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.620
 Once you get in, you'll be glad you did.

00:07:39.699 --> 00:07:41.159
 It's what we all did.

00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.219
 And, you know, it's not what you really mean in your heart.

00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.079
 So it really, it means nothing.

00:07:47.679 --> 00:07:50.579
 Plus, once you're in, you can tell them about Jesus.

00:07:53.419 --> 00:07:55.459
 Something doesn't sound quite right to you,

00:07:55.579 --> 00:07:58.259
 but you're up next.

00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:02.539
 And the senior from the church surely knows better than you do.

00:08:02.779 --> 00:08:04.079
 She says it's okay.

00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.379
 Walk out now.

00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:08.180
 Miss out forever.

00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:13.039
 Feel that tension here?

00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.139
 If I do what I think is right,

00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.519
 it is definitely going to cost me.

00:08:21.159 --> 00:08:23.180
 Plus, I don't want to be thought of as judgy.

00:08:23.979 --> 00:08:26.779
 I mean, aren't we supposed to be loving to people?

00:08:26.779 --> 00:08:29.439
 Well, Jesus understands, right?

00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.720
 Well, Jesus writes to the church in Thyatira.

00:08:38.079 --> 00:08:39.759
 He's going to give you some direction.

00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:46.299
 And he says, look, what you need to know is that I am the true ruler,

00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:48.439
 the son of God.

00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:50.539
 Not the son of an emperor.

00:08:50.539 --> 00:08:54.399
 I am the one who is really in charge here.

00:08:54.719 --> 00:08:58.319
 In fact, I have eyes like a flame of fire.

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.199
 They see everything.

00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:05.599
 What you do with your bodies and what's going on in your hearts.

00:09:07.059 --> 00:09:09.519
 In my bronze feet, they're secure.

00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.360
 In that pure judgment, unmoved, firm.

00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:14.879
 I am never wrong.

00:09:15.980 --> 00:09:19.460
 And I'm telling you, Jesus says,

00:09:19.800 --> 00:09:24.180
 you've got some things confused there in your church.

00:09:25.019 --> 00:09:29.500
 You've allowed compromise to slip in unaddressed.

00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.460
 The bottom line that Jesus is about to point out

00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:40.259
 is that compromising our commitment to the truth of Christ

00:09:40.259 --> 00:09:45.320
 is as deadly as losing our love.

00:09:47.280 --> 00:09:48.720
 And we've heard about that.

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.740
 See, Jesus, here's how he does it.

00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.360
 He starts by commending the church.

00:09:53.800 --> 00:09:57.860
 This church is doing great things.

00:09:58.139 --> 00:09:59.040
 There's no question.

00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:03.340
 They have the love, the right heart.

00:10:03.340 --> 00:10:05.580
 They're serving others.

00:10:05.820 --> 00:10:07.420
 Even when it costs them,

00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:10.180
 they are bearing up under suffering.

00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:12.940
 And y'all, they're growing.

00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.899
 They're getting better as it goes.

00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:20.480
 Not getting complacent with what's been done in the past.

00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:23.180
 They're not resting on their laurels.

00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:27.360
 This is a great church.

00:10:27.900 --> 00:10:30.879
 Remember, the church in Ephesus had done many good things,

00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.639
 but they had left their first love.

00:10:33.980 --> 00:10:36.019
 That was Jesus' serious indictment.

00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:40.720
 In Thyatira, they have the love and the good works.

00:10:41.139 --> 00:10:42.600
 They've kept them both.

00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.659
 If you moved to Thyatira for college

00:10:45.659 --> 00:10:47.500
 or to open a dental practice,

00:10:47.500 --> 00:10:50.980
 you would have shown up here on Sunday morning for sure,

00:10:51.139 --> 00:10:53.100
 and you probably would have loved it.

00:10:53.539 --> 00:10:56.200
 In fact, they probably would have invited you back

00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.400
 to their Wednesday night church family dinner.

00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.600
 They really loved one another.

00:11:03.379 --> 00:11:04.680
 And they loved Jesus.

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:06.640
 Praise the Lord, right?

00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:09.180
 We don't get many churches like this.

00:11:12.140 --> 00:11:15.680
 But you see, many churches are known

00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:21.100
 either for their passion for love

00:11:21.100 --> 00:11:26.240
 or for their passion for truth.

00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:29.279
 And Jesus is reminding us

00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:34.000
 that this is not an either-or situation for His church.

00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:36.360
 It must be a both-and.

00:11:37.379 --> 00:11:39.360
 Jesus is not pleased

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.100
 when we go serve everyone in our community

00:11:42.659 --> 00:11:45.540
 but have no commitment to the good news of Jesus

00:11:45.540 --> 00:11:46.759
 in His Word.

00:11:47.160 --> 00:11:49.379
 And you know churches like this.

00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:52.399
 At the same time,

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.019
 Jesus is not pleased

00:11:54.019 --> 00:11:56.360
 when we defend the truth vigorously

00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:57.860
 and teach it consistently

00:11:57.860 --> 00:12:00.659
 but never live it for those around us.

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.100
 And you know churches like that.

00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.519
 We need to have both a deep care,

00:12:07.939 --> 00:12:09.700
 love for people

00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:14.259
 and a devoted clarity on truth.

00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:17.340
 In fact, we don't even need to balance.

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:19.059
 I hate that idea.

00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:22.600
 Balance those two into this more mushy middle.

00:12:22.779 --> 00:12:23.159
 No.

00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.419
 No, we must have a passion for both,

00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:27.779
 not a balance of either.

00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:29.840
 Otherwise,

00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.000
 your lack of truth

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.659
 will actually mean you love people very poorly.

00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:38.820
 Or your lack of love

00:12:38.820 --> 00:12:42.639
 will mean no one will listen to your true message.

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:46.860
 When you tolerate lack of love

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:49.639
 or lack of truth in your church,

00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:51.679
 you undermine both of them.

00:12:52.179 --> 00:12:52.819
 That's tough.

00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.019
 Late Pastor Tim Keller says it this way,

00:12:56.860 --> 00:12:59.960
 love without truth is sentimentality.

00:12:59.960 --> 00:13:01.919
 It supports and affirms us

00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.639
 but keeps us in denial about our flaws.

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.080
 On the other hand,

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.960
 truth without love is harshness.

00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:11.539
 It gives us information

00:13:11.539 --> 00:13:12.740
 but in such a way

00:13:12.740 --> 00:13:14.460
 that we cannot really hear it.

00:13:15.740 --> 00:13:17.679
 In contrast to those two,

00:13:18.199 --> 00:13:20.639
 God's saving love in Christ, however,

00:13:20.740 --> 00:13:23.580
 is marked by both radical truthfulness

00:13:23.580 --> 00:13:24.679
 about who we are,

00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.120
 even calls our sin,

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:26.740
 sin,

00:13:26.740 --> 00:13:30.220
 and yet also radical,

00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:32.740
 unconditional commitment to us.

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.440
 He loves and rescues sinners, right?

00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:36.980
 Right, both of those.

00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:39.680
 The merciful commitment strengthens us

00:13:39.680 --> 00:13:41.740
 to see the truth about ourselves and repent.

00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:43.799
 The conviction and repentance

00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.039
 moves us to cling to and rest

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.039
 in God's mercy and grace.

00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:51.600
 That's how it's supposed to work

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:53.139
 in Christ's church

00:13:53.139 --> 00:13:54.659
 that's reflecting Him, right?

00:13:54.659 --> 00:13:57.579
 Full of grace and truth.

00:13:58.019 --> 00:13:59.759
 As Paul says to the Ephesians,

00:13:59.899 --> 00:14:02.620
 it's speaking the truth in love

00:14:02.620 --> 00:14:04.659
 that we grow up into Jesus.

00:14:05.500 --> 00:14:07.240
 That's how it happens.

00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:09.259
 But in Thyatira,

00:14:10.259 --> 00:14:14.539
 they've compromised on the truth.

00:14:17.719 --> 00:14:19.100
 How have they done that?

00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:20.839
 What's going on?

00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.600
 Well, there's a woman,

00:14:24.860 --> 00:14:25.320
 Jezebel,

00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.040
 almost certainly not her name,

00:14:28.660 --> 00:14:30.780
 who is being tolerated,

00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:32.280
 who's being left alone,

00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:33.740
 who's being allowed a platform

00:14:33.740 --> 00:14:35.700
 in the church.

00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:37.759
 Jezebel,

00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.580
 it's important to know

00:14:39.580 --> 00:14:41.480
 that she's not just everyone

00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.480
 who disagrees with you

00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:45.180
 on the color of the carpet, okay?

00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:47.100
 It's not like that.

00:14:47.100 --> 00:14:49.840
 Jezebel comes from the name

00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:50.940
 of a wicked queen

00:14:50.940 --> 00:14:52.820
 in the Old Testament.

00:14:53.540 --> 00:14:55.320
 She married King Ahab,

00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:56.720
 the king of Israel,

00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:58.700
 and she brought with her

00:14:58.700 --> 00:15:00.300
 into God's people

00:15:00.300 --> 00:15:02.180
 the god Baal

00:15:02.180 --> 00:15:05.100
 and the fertility goddess Asherah.

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:07.080
 They did,

00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:08.340
 the Bible says,

00:15:08.460 --> 00:15:09.399
 more evil

00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.139
 than any other royal couple,

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.340
 and they suffered

00:15:13.340 --> 00:15:14.100
 the consequences.

00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:16.320
 You may recall

00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:17.100
 in their battle

00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.159
 with the prophet Elijah,

00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:20.860
 they did not like Elijah,

00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:23.480
 they had God's people

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:25.340
 famously limping

00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:27.100
 between two opinions,

00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.279
 wavering back and forth,

00:15:31.560 --> 00:15:32.720
 worshiping Yahweh,

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:35.379
 but also bowing down

00:15:35.379 --> 00:15:36.960
 to Baal for their crops

00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.560
 and Asherah for their families.

00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:42.279
 See, Jezebel preached

00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:44.279
 divided loyalties,

00:15:45.500 --> 00:15:46.419
 compromise,

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:50.199
 selfish idolatry,

00:15:50.939 --> 00:15:54.039
 and she was torn apart

00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:55.839
 by wild beasts

00:15:55.839 --> 00:15:58.319
 as she tore apart

00:15:58.319 --> 00:15:59.600
 God's people.

00:16:00.819 --> 00:16:03.639
 You do not want to be referred to

00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:04.899
 as Jezebel.

00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:08.839
 Nonetheless,

00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.300
 here in Thyatira,

00:16:11.379 --> 00:16:12.759
 they're just allowing

00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:14.000
 such a woman

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.480
 to tear God's people

00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:16.740
 apart again.

00:16:17.460 --> 00:16:18.560
 Just listen to

00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:20.139
 the description of her.

00:16:21.680 --> 00:16:23.480
 Jezebel calls herself

00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.300
 a prophetess.

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:26.960
 She does that.

00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:28.540
 And she's teaching

00:16:28.540 --> 00:16:30.580
 and seducing my servants

00:16:30.580 --> 00:16:32.740
 to practice sexual immorality,

00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:33.840
 to eat food sacrificed

00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:34.980
 to idols.

00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:36.879
 I gave her time

00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:37.720
 to repent,

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:39.399
 but she refuses

00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:40.440
 to repent

00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.120
 of her sexual immorality.

00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:46.200
 Jezebel is self-appointed,

00:16:46.740 --> 00:16:47.039
 right?

00:16:47.800 --> 00:16:49.620
 She's unrepentant

00:16:49.620 --> 00:16:52.840
 in her false teaching,

00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.460
 in her idolatrous living.

00:16:57.580 --> 00:16:58.220
 Wow.

00:16:58.480 --> 00:16:58.700
 I mean,

00:16:58.860 --> 00:16:59.720
 awful.

00:16:59.720 --> 00:16:59.920
 awful.

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.000
 You might wonder,

00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:04.420
 how did she ever

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:06.180
 slip by the elders?

00:17:08.100 --> 00:17:08.519
 Well,

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:08.980
 that's

00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:10.500
 the subtlety

00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:11.380
 of compromise

00:17:11.380 --> 00:17:12.440
 within the church

00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:13.039
 sometimes,

00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:13.500
 isn't it?

00:17:14.740 --> 00:17:15.460
 Jezebel is

00:17:15.460 --> 00:17:16.480
 all of those

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:17.500
 awful things

00:17:17.500 --> 00:17:18.500
 that are easy to see,

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:19.700
 but she's also

00:17:19.700 --> 00:17:20.559
 church-going.

00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:21.579
 She's there.

00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:24.779
 She's Jesus-affirming.

00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:25.059
 I mean,

00:17:25.059 --> 00:17:26.259
 she affirms everyone.

00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:30.079
 She's culture-engaging.

00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:31.220
 All those

00:17:31.220 --> 00:17:32.640
 good things

00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.059
 until in an effort

00:17:34.059 --> 00:17:35.220
 to engage

00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:35.879
 and affirm

00:17:35.879 --> 00:17:36.879
 and love,

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:37.879
 you throw out

00:17:37.879 --> 00:17:38.480
 the window

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:39.319
 truth

00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:41.920
 and you compromise

00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:43.660
 the primacy

00:17:43.660 --> 00:17:44.240
 of Jesus.

00:17:46.140 --> 00:17:46.420
 See,

00:17:46.579 --> 00:17:47.740
 one compromise

00:17:47.740 --> 00:17:49.299
 on the truth

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:50.440
 of God's Word,

00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:51.740
 one step

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:52.319
 to do

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:53.059
 what seems

00:17:53.059 --> 00:17:54.920
 right in your own eyes

00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:55.539
 to decide

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:56.339
 that should be

00:17:56.339 --> 00:17:57.180
 the standard

00:17:57.180 --> 00:17:58.359
 and pretty soon

00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:00.899
 sin drags us away

00:18:00.899 --> 00:18:02.259
 and we didn't start there

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:03.180
 but here we are now

00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:04.240
 at an idolatrous

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.000
 orgy

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:06.759
 and we didn't even

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.339
 mean to.

00:18:09.399 --> 00:18:10.379
 We can miss

00:18:10.379 --> 00:18:11.460
 things like that too.

00:18:13.399 --> 00:18:13.960
 Worldliness

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:15.680
 sneaks into the church

00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:16.960
 because it's the air

00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:17.980
 we breathe

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:19.039
 in our culture

00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:19.639
 because it

00:18:19.639 --> 00:18:20.920
 makes sense.

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.000
 It seems right.

00:18:22.779 --> 00:18:23.639
 Christian author

00:18:23.639 --> 00:18:24.759
 David Wells

00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:25.680
 writes in

00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:27.180
 losing our virtue,

00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:28.940
 worldliness

00:18:28.940 --> 00:18:30.599
 is that system

00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:31.539
 of values

00:18:31.539 --> 00:18:33.079
 which displaces

00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:34.839
 God and His truth

00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:35.740
 from the world

00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:37.160
 and which makes

00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.299
 sin look normal

00:18:39.299 --> 00:18:41.400
 and righteousness

00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:43.440
 seem strange.

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:45.279
 It starts to make

00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:46.259
 sin look normal

00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:47.440
 and righteousness

00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.079
 seem strange.

00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:49.339
 I mean,

00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:51.619
 everybody's doing it

00:18:51.619 --> 00:18:54.539
 even on Sunday

00:18:54.539 --> 00:18:57.799
 even on tests

00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:59.279
 even church people

00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.619
 it seems normal

00:19:02.619 --> 00:19:07.579
 but that's not Jesus

00:19:07.579 --> 00:19:09.599
 you're worshipping

00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.719
 and bowing down to.

00:19:12.139 --> 00:19:13.019
 It's Apollo.

00:19:13.579 --> 00:19:14.979
 It's success.

00:19:15.179 --> 00:19:16.419
 It's pleasure.

00:19:16.420 --> 00:19:18.860
 That's not

00:19:18.860 --> 00:19:20.140
 God's design

00:19:20.140 --> 00:19:21.560
 for your sexuality.

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.039
 It's perversion.

00:19:24.019 --> 00:19:25.480
 It's pornography.

00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.259
 It's self-love

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:29.300
 rather than

00:19:29.300 --> 00:19:31.340
 other love.

00:19:32.779 --> 00:19:33.300
 Jezebel

00:19:33.300 --> 00:19:34.400
 would have you believe

00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:35.460
 that you can have it

00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:36.300
 both ways.

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:37.779
 You can have

00:19:37.779 --> 00:19:38.720
 both of those things.

00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:40.580
 You can worship

00:19:40.580 --> 00:19:42.200
 Jesus on Sunday

00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:43.620
 but chase money

00:19:43.620 --> 00:19:44.420
 your own way

00:19:44.420 --> 00:19:45.039
 on Monday

00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:45.539
 she says

00:19:45.539 --> 00:19:46.580
 totally fine.

00:19:47.860 --> 00:19:48.740
 You can take

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:49.480
 your phone

00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:50.420
 to look at

00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:51.140
 your Bible

00:19:51.140 --> 00:19:52.000
 one minute

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.180
 and the next minute

00:19:53.180 --> 00:19:54.519
 on the same phone

00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:56.100
 objectify women

00:19:56.100 --> 00:20:00.060
 or go to youth group

00:20:00.060 --> 00:20:02.060
 but do with your boyfriend

00:20:02.060 --> 00:20:03.039
 what the Bible says

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:04.200
 do only with your husband.

00:20:05.580 --> 00:20:07.060
 It seems normal.

00:20:09.800 --> 00:20:11.000
 It's deadly.

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:13.940
 It's deadly

00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:14.980
 and Jesus wants

00:20:14.980 --> 00:20:16.339
 to warn us

00:20:16.339 --> 00:20:17.140
 against it.

00:20:17.500 --> 00:20:18.099
 Jesus says

00:20:18.099 --> 00:20:19.500
 that line of thinking

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:21.119
 that pattern

00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:22.200
 of compromise

00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:23.680
 has deadly

00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:25.059
 consequences.

00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:26.220
 Verse 22

00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:27.900
 Behold I'll throw her

00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:28.900
 onto a sickbed

00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:29.740
 and those who commit

00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:30.740
 adultery with her

00:20:30.740 --> 00:20:31.880
 I will throw into

00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:33.059
 great tribulation

00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:34.539
 unless they repent

00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:35.819
 of her works.

00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:37.259
 And I'll strike

00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:38.200
 her children dead

00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:39.220
 and all the churches

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:40.019
 will know that I am

00:20:40.019 --> 00:20:41.240
 he who searches mind

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:41.799
 and heart

00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:43.099
 and I'll give to each

00:20:43.099 --> 00:20:43.519
 of you

00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:44.660
 as your works

00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:45.700
 deserve.

00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:48.639
 See Jezebel

00:20:48.639 --> 00:20:49.579
 has rejected

00:20:49.579 --> 00:20:50.279
 her chance

00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:50.879
 to repent

00:20:50.879 --> 00:20:51.400
 right?

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:52.779
 She was no part

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:53.059
 of it.

00:20:53.460 --> 00:20:54.319
 The teacher

00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:55.480
 at the church

00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:56.519
 has settled

00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:57.859
 on going this way

00:20:57.859 --> 00:20:59.339
 despite calls

00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:00.259
 to repent.

00:21:00.259 --> 00:21:03.819
 but notice

00:21:03.819 --> 00:21:04.980
 those cooperating

00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:05.460
 with her

00:21:05.460 --> 00:21:06.480
 are in big trouble

00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:07.200
 too.

00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:09.359
 Elders

00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.440
 elders

00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:12.379
 everyone

00:21:12.379 --> 00:21:14.279
 in the family

00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:15.539
 should be

00:21:15.539 --> 00:21:16.400
 watching out

00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:16.960
 to guard

00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:18.019
 the church family

00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:19.079
 from false

00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:19.599
 teaching

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:20.279
 that leads

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:21.579
 to false living

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:22.700
 but it is

00:21:22.700 --> 00:21:23.339
 especially

00:21:23.339 --> 00:21:24.599
 our job

00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:25.879
 to watch over

00:21:25.879 --> 00:21:26.500
 the church

00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:27.240
 of Jesus

00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:28.000
 in this way.

00:21:28.099 --> 00:21:29.039
 We must take it

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:29.759
 seriously

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:31.639
 and I'm so glad

00:21:31.639 --> 00:21:33.259
 that we lead

00:21:33.259 --> 00:21:34.220
 with grace

00:21:34.220 --> 00:21:34.639
 here

00:21:34.639 --> 00:21:36.099
 as we engage

00:21:36.099 --> 00:21:36.779
 people

00:21:36.779 --> 00:21:37.680
 we ought

00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:38.379
 to

00:21:38.379 --> 00:21:39.399
 but inside

00:21:39.399 --> 00:21:39.980
 the church

00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:40.940
 while we do that

00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:42.119
 we must also

00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:43.359
 protect the truth

00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:44.200
 and protect

00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:44.740
 the flock

00:21:44.740 --> 00:21:45.839
 from those

00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:47.059
 who would attack.

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:48.859
 how does

00:21:48.859 --> 00:21:49.659
 this Jezebel

00:21:49.659 --> 00:21:50.940
 get tolerated?

00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:53.319
 How will we

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:54.399
 guard Southwood

00:21:54.399 --> 00:21:55.119
 against being

00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:56.339
 a vibrantly

00:21:56.339 --> 00:21:57.440
 alive church

00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:57.759
 that is

00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:58.940
 dragged away

00:21:58.940 --> 00:21:59.679
 to her death

00:21:59.679 --> 00:22:01.159
 by compromising

00:22:01.159 --> 00:22:02.019
 the truth

00:22:02.019 --> 00:22:02.819
 of the gospel

00:22:02.819 --> 00:22:04.179
 as is happening

00:22:04.179 --> 00:22:04.919
 in churches

00:22:04.919 --> 00:22:05.960
 in this city

00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:07.240
 and this country

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:08.460
 every day?

00:22:08.460 --> 00:22:12.620
 see that's

00:22:12.620 --> 00:22:13.100
 the second

00:22:13.100 --> 00:22:13.600
 level

00:22:13.600 --> 00:22:14.340
 of warning

00:22:14.340 --> 00:22:15.440
 those complicit

00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:17.279
 with Jezebel

00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:19.079
 but then

00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:19.519
 there's one

00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:20.299
 more group

00:22:20.299 --> 00:22:20.880
 and it's

00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:22.000
 one all of us

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:22.860
 need to listen

00:22:22.860 --> 00:22:24.000
 carefully to

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:24.620
 he says

00:22:24.620 --> 00:22:25.940
 all of us

00:22:25.940 --> 00:22:26.720
 need to be careful

00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:27.720
 not to become

00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:28.620
 her children

00:22:28.620 --> 00:22:30.000
 not to become

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:30.640
 the next

00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:31.640
 generation

00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:32.680
 following

00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:34.059
 her ways

00:22:34.059 --> 00:22:34.900
 because it

00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:35.340
 will be

00:22:35.340 --> 00:22:35.980
 deadly

00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:37.180
 for you

00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:37.640
 too

00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:38.720
 this is

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:39.620
 dentist

00:22:39.620 --> 00:22:40.680
 doc

00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:41.839
 with his

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:42.539
 career

00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:43.039
 in the

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:43.460
 balance

00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:45.079
 this is

00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:46.079
 sorority

00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:46.740
 Sally

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:47.500
 with her

00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:48.779
 social life

00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:49.480
 in the

00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:50.019
 balance

00:22:50.019 --> 00:22:52.220
 this is

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:52.740
 each of

00:22:52.740 --> 00:22:53.480
 us

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:55.019
 considering

00:22:55.019 --> 00:22:55.839
 a compromise

00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:58.960
 and Jesus

00:22:58.960 --> 00:22:59.480
 searches

00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:01.019
 and he

00:23:01.019 --> 00:23:01.539
 sees

00:23:01.539 --> 00:23:02.660
 everything

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:03.720
 and he

00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:03.980
 says

00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:05.299
 every church

00:23:05.299 --> 00:23:06.159
 should know

00:23:06.159 --> 00:23:06.759
 this

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.279
 that's a

00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:10.639
 strong

00:23:10.639 --> 00:23:11.099
 warning

00:23:11.099 --> 00:23:12.519
 so what

00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:12.899
 do we

00:23:12.899 --> 00:23:13.379
 do

00:23:13.379 --> 00:23:14.119
 am I just

00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:14.359
 supposed to

00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:14.940
 be scared

00:23:14.940 --> 00:23:16.799
 what do I

00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:17.319
 do if I've

00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:18.460
 been compromising

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:19.259
 if right now

00:23:19.259 --> 00:23:20.099
 I look at my

00:23:20.099 --> 00:23:20.559
 own heart

00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:20.879
 and life

00:23:20.879 --> 00:23:21.099
 and I'm

00:23:21.099 --> 00:23:21.639
 like oh

00:23:21.639 --> 00:23:23.599
 I see

00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:24.019
 it

00:23:24.019 --> 00:23:26.680
 the word

00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:27.059
 here is

00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:27.720
 repent

00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:30.279
 three times

00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:30.859
 that's the

00:23:30.859 --> 00:23:31.319
 solution

00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:31.839
 whether it's

00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:32.440
 received or

00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:32.680
 not

00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:33.460
 in other

00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:33.960
 words

00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:35.480
 maybe

00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:36.140
 repent

00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:36.840
 sounds like

00:23:36.840 --> 00:23:37.279
 a church

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:37.700
 word to

00:23:37.700 --> 00:23:37.980
 you and

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:38.299
 you feel

00:23:38.299 --> 00:23:38.620
 like it's

00:23:38.620 --> 00:23:39.019
 a dart

00:23:39.019 --> 00:23:39.600
 being thrown

00:23:39.600 --> 00:23:39.920
 at you

00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:40.120
 no

00:23:40.120 --> 00:23:40.700
 no it's

00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:41.140
 exactly

00:23:41.140 --> 00:23:41.920
 the opposite

00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:42.700
 repent

00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:43.420
 is saying

00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:43.799
 to you

00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:44.580
 don't

00:23:44.580 --> 00:23:45.299
 turn and

00:23:45.299 --> 00:23:45.560
 run

00:23:45.560 --> 00:23:46.279
 from

00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:46.900
 Jesus

00:23:46.900 --> 00:23:47.460
 he

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:48.100
 sees

00:23:48.100 --> 00:23:50.500
 turn

00:23:50.500 --> 00:23:50.920
 run

00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:51.700
 to

00:23:51.700 --> 00:23:52.259
 Jesus

00:23:52.259 --> 00:23:53.500
 he

00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:54.860
 forgives

00:23:54.860 --> 00:23:56.019
 that's

00:23:56.019 --> 00:23:56.740
 why you

00:23:56.740 --> 00:23:57.039
 can be

00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:57.299
 called

00:23:57.299 --> 00:23:57.940
 to repent

00:23:57.940 --> 00:23:58.259
 see

00:23:58.259 --> 00:23:58.879
 see

00:23:58.879 --> 00:23:59.319
 Jesus

00:23:59.319 --> 00:23:59.839
 wants

00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:00.400
 your

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:01.220
 heart

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:02.220
 I want

00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:02.660

 that I

00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:04.279
 don't

00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:05.299
 miscommunicate

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:06.000

00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:06.500
 stories

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:06.839
 that I

00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:07.119
 told

00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:07.619
 earlier

00:24:10.299 --> 00:24:10.700
 heart

00:24:10.700 --> 00:24:10.980
 of the

00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:11.539
 economy

00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:12.220
 in

00:24:12.220 --> 00:24:13.220
 Thyatira

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:14.039

00:24:17.579 --> 00:24:18.819
 groups

00:24:18.819 --> 00:24:19.500
 where

00:24:19.500 --> 00:24:20.859
 compromise

00:24:20.859 --> 00:24:21.400
 could

00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:21.859
 creep

00:24:21.859 --> 00:24:22.259
 in

 espouse

00:25:51.979 --> 00:25:52.659
 it's

00:25:52.659 --> 00:25:52.839
 the

00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:53.740
 compromise

 that

 what

00:26:00.120 --> 00:26:00.559
 you

00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:01.160
 finally

00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:01.579
 realize

00:26:01.579 --> 00:26:01.740
 you

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:02.180
 really

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:02.620
 long

00:26:02.620 --> 00:26:03.059
 for

 that

00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:03.920
 that's

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:04.339
 the

00:26:04.339 --> 00:26:04.680
 thing

00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:04.900
 it's

00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:05.319
 the

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:05.900
 compromise

00:26:05.900 --> 00:26:06.279
 they

00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:06.880
 sometimes

00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:07.319
 ask

00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:07.460
 you

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:07.620
 to

00:26:07.620 --> 00:26:07.980
 make

00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:08.420
 that

00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:08.859
 actually

00:26:08.859 --> 00:26:09.380
 reveals

00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:09.819
 something

00:26:09.819 --> 00:26:10.019
 it

00:26:10.019 --> 00:26:10.819
 indicates

 that

00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:11.200
 in

00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:11.420
 your

00:26:11.420 --> 00:26:11.700
 heart

00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:12.099
 you

00:26:12.099 --> 00:26:12.259
 don't

00:26:12.259 --> 00:26:12.640
 actually

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:13.259
 trust

00:26:13.259 --> 00:26:13.640
 God

00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:13.839
 to

00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:14.079
 care

00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:14.339
 for

00:26:14.339 --> 00:26:14.640
 you

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:15.620
 you

00:26:15.620 --> 00:26:15.779
 don't

00:26:15.779 --> 00:26:16.140
 actually

00:26:16.140 --> 00:26:16.720
 believe

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.120
 that

00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:17.480
 God

00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:17.640
 is

00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:17.799
 the

00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:18.039
 one

00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:18.240
 that

00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:18.359
 you

00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:18.700
 most

00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:19.319
 need

00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:19.640
 do

00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:19.720
 you

00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:19.859
 see

00:26:19.859 --> 00:26:20.160
 that

00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:20.819
 that's

00:26:20.819 --> 00:26:20.819


00:26:20.819 --> 00:26:21.120
 that's

00:26:21.120 --> 00:26:21.240
 why

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:21.519
 Jesus

00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:21.799
 is

00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:22.079
 so

00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:23.000
 concerned

00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:24.200
 that's

00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:24.419
 what

00:26:24.419 --> 00:26:25.180
 Jezebel

00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:25.899
 does

00:26:25.899 --> 00:26:26.359
 he

00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:26.659
 doesn't

00:26:26.659 --> 00:26:27.000
 want

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.139
 it

00:26:27.139 --> 00:26:27.500
 happening

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:27.700
 to

00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:27.839
 his

00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:28.139
 people

00:26:28.139 --> 00:26:28.399
 it's

00:26:28.399 --> 00:26:28.579
 so

00:26:28.579 --> 00:26:29.399
 seductive

00:26:29.399 --> 00:26:30.379
 Jezebel

00:26:30.379 --> 00:26:31.180
 convinces

00:26:31.180 --> 00:26:31.539
 you

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:31.919
 to

00:26:31.919 --> 00:26:32.279
 follow

00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:32.919
 Jesus

00:26:32.919 --> 00:26:33.599
 keep

00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:33.879
 going

00:26:33.879 --> 00:26:34.059
 to

00:26:34.059 --> 00:26:34.519
 church

00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:36.240
 and

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:37.259
 something

00:26:37.259 --> 00:26:37.779
 else

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:38.559
 have

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:38.680
 it

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:38.819
 your

00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:38.960
 own

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:39.279
 way

00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:42.079
 remember

00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:42.480
 food

00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:43.339
 sacrifice

00:26:43.339 --> 00:26:43.539

00:26:43.539 --> 00:26:43.759
 idols

00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:44.359
 sometimes

00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:44.680
 is

00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:45.399
 it's

00:26:45.399 --> 00:26:45.759
 nothing

00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:46.180
 they're

00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:46.319
 not

00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:46.559
 real

00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:47.000
 gods

00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:50.019

 more

00:26:50.819 --> 00:26:51.259
 loyal

00:26:51.259 --> 00:26:51.559
 to

 your

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.379
 career

00:26:52.379 --> 00:26:53.180

00:27:00.159 --> 00:27:00.539

 nicer

00:29:26.540 --> 00:29:27.900
 even

00:29:35.259 --> 00:29:35.420
 going

00:29:35.420 --> 00:29:35.640
 to be

 hard

00:29:39.099 --> 00:29:39.599
 but

00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:39.839
 Jesus

00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:40.219
 says

00:29:40.219 --> 00:29:40.859
 hold

00:30:38.419 --> 00:30:39.039
 shame

00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:39.500
 you

00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:40.419
 to

00:30:40.419 --> 00:30:41.039
 chase

00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:41.299
 you

00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:41.700
 away

00:30:41.700 --> 00:30:42.279
 that's

00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:42.559
 not

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:42.919
 the

00:30:42.919 --> 00:30:43.559
 intention

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:44.299
 they're

00:30:44.299 --> 00:30:44.639
 meant

00:30:44.639 --> 00:30:45.019
 to

00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:45.480
 call

00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:45.819
 you

00:30:45.819 --> 00:30:46.659
 home

00:30:46.659 --> 00:30:47.339
 it's

00:30:47.339 --> 00:30:47.500
 a

00:30:47.500 --> 00:30:48.139
 gift

00:30:48.139 --> 00:30:48.440
 to

00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:48.679
 us

00:30:48.679 --> 00:30:49.000
 that

00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:49.279
 Jesus

00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:49.779
 tells

00:30:49.779 --> 00:30:50.000
 us

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:50.299
 the

00:30:50.299 --> 00:30:50.720
 danger

00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:50.940
 of

00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:51.159
 our

00:30:51.159 --> 00:30:51.500
 sin

00:30:51.500 --> 00:30:51.940
 so

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:52.099
 that

00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:52.299
 we

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:52.480
 can

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:52.659
 not

00:30:52.659 --> 00:30:53.179
 despair

00:30:53.179 --> 00:30:53.619
 but

00:30:53.619 --> 00:30:53.839
 see

00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:54.019
 how

00:30:54.019 --> 00:30:54.220
 much

00:30:54.220 --> 00:30:54.399
 we

00:30:54.399 --> 00:30:54.639
 need

00:30:54.639 --> 00:30:54.819
 our

00:30:54.819 --> 00:30:55.419
 savior

00:30:55.419 --> 00:30:56.700
 he

00:30:56.700 --> 00:30:57.139
 says

00:30:57.139 --> 00:30:57.919
 everyone

00:30:57.919 --> 00:30:58.440
 who

00:30:58.899 --> 00:30:59.179
 these

00:30:59.179 --> 00:30:59.519
 words

00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:00.720
 be

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:01.039

00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:02.079
 conquers

00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:03.000
 it

00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:03.220
 doesn't

00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:03.480
 matter

00:32:35.900 --> 00:32:36.680
 you

 and

00:32:42.340 --> 00:32:42.779
 love

00:32:42.779 --> 00:32:43.120
 no

00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:43.320
 matter

00:32:43.320 --> 00:32:43.560

00:32:44.100 --> 00:32:44.360
 you

00:32:44.360 --> 00:32:44.700
 or

00:32:44.700 --> 00:32:44.940
 what

00:32:44.940 --> 00:32:45.080

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:46.120
 you

00:32:46.120 --> 00:32:46.120


00:32:46.120 --> 00:32:46.759

00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:48.839
 and

00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:49.159
 he

00:32:49.159 --> 00:32:49.480
 will

00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:49.700
 be

00:32:49.700 --> 00:32:50.000
 worth

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:50.359
 it

00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:51.819
 in

00:32:51.819 --> 00:32:52.279
 fact

00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:53.740
 you

 today

00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:55.659
 even

00:32:55.659 --> 00:32:56.019
 for the

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:56.359
 first

00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:57.000
 time

00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:57.539

00:32:58.439 --> 00:32:59.439
 you

00:32:59.439 --> 00:33:00.179

 get

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:01.399
 Jesus

00:33:01.399 --> 00:33:02.299
 and

00:33:02.299 --> 00:33:02.480
 he

00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:02.659
 will

00:33:02.659 --> 00:33:02.819
 be

00:33:02.819 --> 00:33:03.099
 worth

00:33:03.099 --> 00:33:03.379
 it

00:33:03.379 --> 00:33:04.939
 you

00:33:04.939 --> 00:33:05.079
 may

00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:05.299
 lose

 career

00:33:05.779 --> 00:33:07.159
 you

00:33:07.159 --> 00:33:07.279
 may

00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:07.500

00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:08.599
 you

00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:08.740
 may

00:33:08.740 --> 00:33:09.019
 lose

00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:09.579
 money

00:33:09.579 --> 00:33:10.059
 but

00:33:10.059 --> 00:33:10.379
 you

00:33:10.379 --> 00:33:10.779
 will

00:33:10.779 --> 00:33:11.159
 never

00:33:11.159 --> 00:33:11.960
 lose

00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:12.659
 Jesus

00:33:12.659 --> 00:33:13.200
 the

00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:13.599
 morning

00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:14.299
 star

00:33:14.299 --> 00:33:14.720
 the

00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:15.139
 first

00:33:15.139 --> 00:33:15.679
 fruits

00:33:15.679 --> 00:33:16.079
 of

 your

 resurrection

00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:18.240
 victory

00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:18.819
 the

00:33:18.819 --> 00:33:19.299
 light

00:33:19.299 --> 00:33:20.039
 shining

00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:20.220
 in

00:33:20.220 --> 00:33:20.319
 the

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:20.759
 darkness

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:21.460
 that

00:33:21.460 --> 00:33:21.640
 will

00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:22.240
 never

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:22.500
 be

00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:23.039
 overcome

00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:27.680
 you

00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:27.839
 having

00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:28.140
 trouble

00:33:28.140 --> 00:33:28.620
 remembering

00:33:28.620 --> 00:33:28.980
 that

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:30.839
 are you

00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:31.140
 in one

00:33:31.140 --> 00:33:31.559
 of those

00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:33.079
 situations

00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:34.059
 or circumstances

00:33:34.059 --> 00:33:34.500
 in your

00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:34.880
 life

00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:36.220
 where you

00:33:36.220 --> 00:33:36.440
 think

00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:36.940
 that

00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:37.559
 sounds

00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:37.779
 good

00:33:37.779 --> 00:33:38.079
 today

00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:38.299
 but

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:39.079
 I'm

00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:39.200
 not

00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:39.279
 going

00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:39.339
 to

00:33:39.339 --> 00:33:39.480
 be

00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:39.620
 in

00:33:39.620 --> 00:33:39.860
 church

00:33:39.860 --> 00:33:40.240
 tomorrow

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:40.640
 pastor

00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:40.779
 and

00:33:40.779 --> 00:33:40.940
 it's

00:33:40.940 --> 00:33:41.120
 not

00:33:41.120 --> 00:33:41.240
 going

00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:41.360
 to

00:33:41.360 --> 00:33:42.160
 be

00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:42.380
 quite

00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:42.620
 so

00:33:42.620 --> 00:33:42.880
 clear

00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:43.039
 to

00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:43.140
 me

00:33:43.140 --> 00:33:43.279
 what

00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:43.400
 it

00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:43.620
 looks

00:33:43.620 --> 00:33:44.100
 like

00:33:44.099 --> 00:33:47.359
 Jesus

00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:47.859
 gives

00:33:47.859 --> 00:33:48.079
 you

00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:48.819
 himself

00:33:48.819 --> 00:33:49.439
 today

00:33:49.439 --> 00:33:50.599
 in

00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:50.779
 the

00:33:50.779 --> 00:33:51.279
 present

00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:52.399
 so

00:33:52.399 --> 00:33:52.599
 that

00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:52.779
 you

00:33:52.779 --> 00:33:52.980
 will

00:33:52.980 --> 00:33:53.559
 remember

00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:54.219
 that

00:33:54.219 --> 00:33:54.359
 he

00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:54.559
 has

00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:55.000
 given

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:55.539
 himself

00:33:55.539 --> 00:33:56.379
 for

00:33:56.379 --> 00:33:56.740
 you

00:33:56.740 --> 00:33:57.199
 in

00:33:57.199 --> 00:33:57.339
 the

00:33:57.339 --> 00:33:57.980
 past

00:33:57.980 --> 00:33:58.480
 on

00:33:58.480 --> 00:33:58.639
 the

00:33:58.639 --> 00:33:59.240
 cross

00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:00.199
 so

00:34:00.199 --> 00:34:00.379
 that

00:34:00.379 --> 00:34:00.519
 you

00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:00.699
 will

00:34:00.699 --> 00:34:01.259
 know

00:34:01.259 --> 00:34:01.759
 that

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:01.899
 he

00:34:01.899 --> 00:34:02.099
 will

00:34:02.099 --> 00:34:02.439
 give

00:34:02.439 --> 00:34:02.899
 himself

00:34:02.899 --> 00:34:03.299
 to

00:34:03.299 --> 00:34:03.459
 you

00:34:03.459 --> 00:34:03.599
 in

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:03.779
 the

00:34:03.779 --> 00:34:04.339
 future

00:34:04.339 --> 00:34:05.439
 forever

00:34:05.439 --> 00:34:06.579
 never

00:34:06.579 --> 00:34:07.519
 to be

00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:07.879
 taken

00:34:07.879 --> 00:34:08.199
 away

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:08.559
 from

00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:08.759
 you

00:34:08.759 --> 00:34:09.159
 that's

00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:09.460
 what

00:34:09.460 --> 00:34:10.420
 he's

00:34:10.420 --> 00:34:10.659
 doing

00:34:10.659 --> 00:34:11.019
 at this

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:11.400
 table

00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:12.000
 he said

00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:12.139
 it

00:34:12.139 --> 00:34:12.440
 to his

00:34:13.500 --> 00:34:13.820
 way

 the

00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:15.659
 night

00:34:15.659 --> 00:34:15.820
 that

00:34:15.820 --> 00:34:15.960
 he

00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:16.159
 was

00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:16.780
 betrayed

00:34:16.780 --> 00:34:17.079
 and

00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:17.220
 he

00:34:17.220 --> 00:34:17.460
 was

00:34:17.460 --> 00:34:18.159
 taken

00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:22.980
 broke

00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:23.220

00:34:23.220 --> 00:34:23.760
 and

 it

 to
