WEBVTT

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.919
 Father, we ask that you would lead us and guide us into all truth, that you would lead

00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:13.099
 us and guide us into all truth about who we really are, about how we really see the world,

00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:17.660
 about how we relate to you and your word and your gospel.

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.940
 And at the same time, Father, more than that, we ask that you lead us into all truth about

00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:25.219
 what your word says and who you are.

00:00:25.219 --> 00:00:31.299
 Father, we ask all of these things in the name of Jesus, your Son and the one and only

00:00:31.299 --> 00:00:31.739
 Savior.

00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:32.700
 Amen.

00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:34.439
 Please be seated.

00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:48.439
 When I was doing my equivalent to training to be ordained, I had to do a lot of very, very

00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:49.399
 weird stuff.

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.780
 And, you know, I think if I was probably to tell this to some of the people that I

00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:59.239
 talked to in coffee shops, they would just sort of listen and think it's curious because

00:00:59.239 --> 00:01:03.820
 I think for a lot of people who aren't Christians, they expect Christians to do really odd stuff.

00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.859
 They might not always be aware of the odd things that they do, but they would just expect that

00:01:08.859 --> 00:01:09.840
 we do weird stuff.

00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:15.819
 One of the things that we were supposed to do, I'm not making this up, was aura massaging.

00:01:15.819 --> 00:01:21.359
 Now, you've already gathered that I did not go to an evangelical training place, if you

00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:26.379
 know anything about Christian sort of streams of spirituality, but I'm not making this up.

00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:31.879
 We were supposed to eight to ten inches out of far apart from a person's body to move our

00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:38.479
 hands in certain ways to rearrange their aura so that they would be, I don't know what they

00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:40.639
 were supposed to be, more balanced or whatever.

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:48.519
 I also was supposed to be taught that I was to go into deep states of relaxation and seek

00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:56.420
 out animal guides from my unconscious who would help me to sort out, help me to get in touch

00:01:56.420 --> 00:01:59.079
 with God.

00:02:00.140 --> 00:02:02.840
 I, of course, always knew that that was wrong.

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:11.219
 And so being a male and being in a darkened room at three o'clock in the afternoon when

00:02:11.219 --> 00:02:14.020
 I was told to go into a deep state of relaxation, I did.

00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:16.539
 I fell asleep.

00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:22.020
 And I always worried that I snored or something, but nobody ever said, George, you fell asleep

00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:23.539
 during the exercise.

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.500
 But the point is that it's often that, at least from the eyes of the world, that Christians

00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:31.420
 are told to do really weird things.

00:02:31.419 --> 00:02:38.099
 One of the things that, one of the reasons why Hollywood loves Roman Catholicism is because,

00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.359
 I don't know, you know, when there's a big trouble or something like that, there's a terrible

00:02:42.359 --> 00:02:45.539
 disaster, the monster's about to eat, eat the people.

00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:50.279
 Well, you know, you can see people doing all these crosses like this or saying, Hail Mary,

00:02:50.419 --> 00:02:51.899
 full of grace, something like that.

00:02:52.179 --> 00:02:53.560
 I mean, what would they do about Protestants?

00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:54.339
 We're so boring.

00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:56.000
 I don't know.

00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:56.479
 What would we do?

00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.679
 We'd read the Bible and have an offering or something.

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:00.280
 I don't know.

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:03.000
 There wouldn't be much that we would do that is very dramatic.

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:10.900
 The text that Emily read is a very, very interesting text because it touches on a lot of the fears

00:03:10.900 --> 00:03:15.920
 that people have in our culture about what it means to be a Christian.

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:22.420
 Because the Bible text seems to say that we're sort of willingly, to willingly embrace and

00:03:22.420 --> 00:03:23.780
 pursue weakness.

00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:28.840
 And, you know, in our culture, weakness is often just being odd.

00:03:28.979 --> 00:03:30.039
 It's just being different.

00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:37.120
 It's just, well, you know, it's generally speaking, unless it's sort of a culturally accepted type

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:41.580
 of kookiness, kookiness makes you weird, makes you weak.

00:03:41.580 --> 00:03:50.200
 And so this text, you know, if people were just to hear it, and it's odd fascination with embrace

00:03:50.200 --> 00:03:53.360
 and weakness and pursuing weakness.

00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:59.120
 For many people, it sounds like those, you know, legendary Christian practices of wearing

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:04.820
 really uncomfortable clothing or whipping yourself or just doing something to make you

00:04:04.820 --> 00:04:06.400
 weak and uncomfortable.

00:04:06.980 --> 00:04:09.080
 Fasting, all those things to make you weak.

00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:10.420
 So is that what's going on in the Bible?

00:04:10.540 --> 00:04:14.760
 It'd be a great help if you were to take your Bibles and open them up to 2 Corinthians

00:04:14.760 --> 00:04:16.840
 chapter 13.

00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.620
 We're going to go 2 Corinthians chapter 13.

00:04:21.080 --> 00:04:23.740
 Actually, so now go first to 2 Corinthians chapter 12.

00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:28.439
 We'll read the sort of the key bit that's just before the text that Emily read earlier

00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:29.040
 on today.

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:33.520
 And next week, by the way, we finish, God willing, the book of 2 Corinthians.

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.920
 So this is our second last go at it.

00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:42.879
 And as I shared with you last week, most Bible scholars, it doesn't matter whether you're

00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.759
 a very conservative or a very liberal scholar.

00:04:47.020 --> 00:04:53.400
 Most scholars would agree that this verse I'm about to read in verse 9 is like the basic

00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:55.980
 message of the whole book of 2 Corinthians.

00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:56.100
 Corinthians.

00:04:57.100 --> 00:05:01.620
 And it's this verse 9 of 2 Corinthians 12.

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:09.120
 But he said to me, Jesus said to me, my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:10.360
 perfect in weakness.

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:17.160
 Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses so that the power of Christ

00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:18.379
 may rest upon me.

00:05:18.379 --> 00:05:25.879
 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions,

00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:26.959
 and calamities.

00:05:27.259 --> 00:05:29.920
 For when I am weak, then I am strong.

00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:36.459
 And the text that Emily read that's very similar to this, that sort of puts this idea of the

00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:43.600
 weakness and strength and all together, that's in verses 3 and 4 of 2 Corinthians 13.

00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:51.460
 And, you know, just before we read it, is this text telling us as well that, I don't know,

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:58.500
 like, I mean, is that why these weird, legendary Christians would wear a shirt that's really,

00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.960
 really, really, really purposefully uncomfortable?

00:06:01.900 --> 00:06:05.600
 That by being made weaker, then God's going to do something for them?

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:11.920
 Is this like a type of spell that Christians are being encouraged to use?

00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:15.480
 That, I don't know, you whip yourself and you beat yourself?

00:06:16.260 --> 00:06:19.820
 You get pain and therefore God's going to somehow give you power?

00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:20.379
 Is that what it's?

00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:24.700
 Well, listen again to 2 Corinthians 13 verses 3 through 4.

00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.300
 Just to catch you up, he's sort of finishing a sentence.

00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:33.520
 Since you seek proof that Christ is speaking in me, but here's the bit, the second part of

00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:40.859
 the third verse, he, that's Christ, is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.

00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.620
 For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God.

00:06:47.259 --> 00:06:56.079
 For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you, we will live with him by the power of God.

00:06:57.339 --> 00:07:01.060
 He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:05.480
 For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God.

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:11.879
 For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you, we will live with him by the power of God.

00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:24.199
 It does sort of seem a little bit, doesn't it, as if it's saying that in all of these texts that somehow our weakness makes us strong.

00:07:24.899 --> 00:07:32.779
 And you could easily see how people would then think that doing sort of kooky things would somehow give us some type of power.

00:07:32.779 --> 00:07:44.139
 But the real puzzling thing about all of this is this central little bit that was there in those, you know, that three beat of four that I just read.

00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:44.879
 Did you notice it?

00:07:45.659 --> 00:07:50.059
 For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God.

00:07:50.859 --> 00:07:57.079
 For he, that's referring to Jesus, was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God.

00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:04.919
 And that changes everything and everything to do with the text.

00:08:06.659 --> 00:08:15.740
 I mean, it's describing very, very simply that when Jesus died upon the cross, I mean, he obviously appeared to be very, very weak.

00:08:15.740 --> 00:08:19.960
 He was whipped.

00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:20.939
 He was beaten.

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:23.300
 He's hanging on the cross.

00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:24.699
 He's between two thieves.

00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:27.240
 He's being abused by those in power and authority.

00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:29.740
 There's nothing he can do.

00:08:30.340 --> 00:08:36.860
 In the entire history of the Roman Empire, of the hundreds of thousands of crucifixions that they did,

00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:43.139
 there's only one recorded case of any person surviving, even being on a cross for a day.

00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:49.919
 All of recorded history, hundreds of thousands of crucifixions, only one recorded instance.

00:08:50.059 --> 00:08:52.840
 And even then, it was only for a day.

00:08:53.580 --> 00:09:01.199
 And there were doctors present and everything like that that came in and swept in and were able to nurse the man back to health.

00:09:01.899 --> 00:09:03.299
 So you see him.

00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:04.600
 He's obviously weak.

00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:10.100
 And obviously, Christians as well believe that after Jesus had died, on the third day, he rose from the dead.

00:09:10.100 --> 00:09:19.080
 But the text is trying to remind us of more than that because there's been, those of you who've been here throughout many of the services,

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:25.259
 you might remember that there's these two powerful verses in 2 Corinthians that come up before this

00:09:25.259 --> 00:09:30.240
 that try to really bring home this idea of what Jesus was doing for us on the cross.

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:37.899
 If you just turn back to the one that's the closest to it, if you turn back, it's in 2 Corinthians 8, verse 9.

00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.460
 2 Corinthians 8, verse 9.

00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:50.080
 And what Paul does there is Paul uses the image of money to try to help us to understand what Jesus was doing for us on the cross.

00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:53.299
 And look what it says in 2 Corinthians 8, 9.

00:09:53.299 --> 00:10:09.879
 And so what is this text telling us?

00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:15.379
 This text is telling us that when we see Jesus, what we're seeing is we're seeing grace.

00:10:15.379 --> 00:10:26.960
 We're seeing undeserved favor, undeserved love, undeserved kindness, which is also perfectly good and perfectly just.

00:10:27.059 --> 00:10:29.340
 It doesn't violate justice.

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:30.759
 It doesn't violate goodness.

00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:38.580
 But it's perfect love, perfect kindness, perfect affection that comes with real power to change lives.

00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:40.580
 That's what you're seeing when you see Jesus.

00:10:40.580 --> 00:10:48.600
 But then after giving that sort of very big description and very couple of words, right?

00:10:48.700 --> 00:10:50.940
 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.180
 Then it says, goes a little bit, but how was that grace shown?

00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.300
 Well, that grace was shown because if you think about it,

00:10:59.960 --> 00:11:07.420
 before God, the Son of God, was created in the womb of Mary, who was a virgin,

00:11:07.419 --> 00:11:13.779
 that that same God, the Son of God, well, he was rich.

00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.360
 That's a simple way of describing that he was in heaven,

00:11:18.299 --> 00:11:22.439
 that he was in perfect union with the Father and the Holy Spirit,

00:11:22.439 --> 00:11:27.379
 that he was surrounded by angels, that he had all of the glory and all of the splendor

00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:30.679
 and all of the power and all of the majesty and all of the praise of God.

00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:31.519
 He was rich.

00:11:32.599 --> 00:11:33.799
 Yet what does the text say?

00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.759
 That though he was rich, yet for your sake.

00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.479
 And here he's speaking to you and me,

00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:47.759
 that if Paul was here beside us right now,

00:11:48.019 --> 00:11:50.500
 if Jesus was here right beside us now,

00:11:51.199 --> 00:11:54.099
 he would say, yes, I was thinking of you.

00:11:54.439 --> 00:11:57.019
 I knew of you because I'm God.

00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.219
 I knew of you and you and you and you and you.

00:12:00.220 --> 00:12:06.600
 And I saw how you were,

00:12:06.860 --> 00:12:09.300
 and the Bible again uses the word, the imagery of money,

00:12:09.420 --> 00:12:10.920
 that you were poorer than poor,

00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:15.360
 that you were mortal, that you would die,

00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:18.759
 that you were separate from me,

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.399
 that you were at enmity from me,

00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.100
 that you would be separate and at enmity from me from all eternity.

00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:26.879
 And I saw that you were poor.

00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.820
 And so for your sake,

00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.879
 Jesus became poor.

00:12:35.779 --> 00:12:39.960
 Him being on the cross and him dying.

00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.240
 And here the image is just like,

00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.340
 you know, there was a time in Louise in my life

00:12:49.340 --> 00:12:51.060
 where we had a real miracle that happened.

00:12:51.059 --> 00:12:53.939
 And we were really burdened with a lot of debt.

00:12:54.959 --> 00:12:57.819
 And it was very, very, very hard.

00:12:57.899 --> 00:13:00.199
 We had bill collectors calling us and everything like that.

00:13:00.219 --> 00:13:01.359
 It was very, very hard.

00:13:02.359 --> 00:13:05.179
 And through a series of things,

00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:07.179
 you know, but ultimately just in prayer,

00:13:07.719 --> 00:13:09.139
 one day we got a check in the mail.

00:13:09.199 --> 00:13:10.459
 It's one of those stories, you know.

00:13:10.839 --> 00:13:12.500
 And I remember opening up the check,

00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.239
 and I thought at first it was,

00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:16.739
 you know, a lot of money.

00:13:16.740 --> 00:13:20.080
 And it was going to go a big step towards helping us.

00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.580
 But then,

00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.200
 because we were living in Eganville,

00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:26.659
 and I was walking back from the post office,

00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.560
 then after I'd gone about 200 steps,

00:13:29.899 --> 00:13:31.159
 I paused and I thought,

00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:33.060
 there was one more zero.

00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:35.840
 And I opened up,

00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:36.759
 and there was.

00:13:37.379 --> 00:13:38.759
 And it covered all my debts.

00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:43.759
 Like the overwhelming debts,

00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:44.500
 it covered it.

00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.580
 It was one of those real miracles in our lives.

00:13:49.179 --> 00:13:51.059
 And the text is saying here

00:13:51.059 --> 00:13:53.659
 that this is what Jesus does for us on the cross.

00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.759
 That if you think about somehow his riches

00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:59.819
 and him becoming poor,

00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:01.740
 it's all in a sense,

00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.000
 I spend, I spend,

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:04.080
 I cover your debt,

00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:05.039
 I cover your debt,

00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:05.960
 I cover your debt,

00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:06.779
 I cover your debt,

00:14:06.819 --> 00:14:07.580
 I cover your debt,

00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:08.539
 I cover your debt.

00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:10.159
 And more than that,

00:14:10.439 --> 00:14:12.939
 so that you by his poverty might become rich.

00:14:15.019 --> 00:14:15.460
 Because,

00:14:15.939 --> 00:14:17.519
 you know,

00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:18.759
 he rises from the dead.

00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.840
 He sits at the right hand of the Father.

00:14:21.539 --> 00:14:24.000
 And when we put our faith and trust in him

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:25.379
 and he takes us as his child,

00:14:26.139 --> 00:14:27.539
 he will fit us

00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:29.299
 to spend all eternity

00:14:29.299 --> 00:14:31.379
 in the new heaven and the new earth

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:32.720
 with his people and with him.

00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:35.980
 And those riches are ours.

00:14:39.299 --> 00:14:41.679
 And that's what Paul means

00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.460
 when he said he was crucified in weakness

00:14:43.460 --> 00:14:44.840
 but lives by the power of God.

00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:46.000
 But Paul uses earlier,

00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:46.299
 remember,

00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:48.399
 I said two of the most wonderful verses

00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:49.080
 in the Bible

00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:50.419
 about what Jesus does for us

00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:50.960
 in the cross

00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:51.860
 are in 2 Corinthians.

00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:53.600
 The other one is just a little bit earlier.

00:14:53.779 --> 00:14:55.419
 2 Corinthians chapter 5,

00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:56.559
 verse 21.

00:14:56.700 --> 00:14:57.600
 Why don't you turn to it?

00:14:58.100 --> 00:14:59.659
 2 Corinthians 5, 21.

00:14:59.659 --> 00:15:02.219
 For our sake,

00:15:03.139 --> 00:15:05.019
 God made him

00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:06.579
 to be sin

00:15:06.579 --> 00:15:08.639
 who knew no sin

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:10.899
 so that in him

00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:12.799
 we might become

00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:14.459
 the righteousness of God.

00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:15.139
 Now,

00:15:15.199 --> 00:15:16.559
 this is far more complicated

00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:17.939
 theological language.

00:15:18.939 --> 00:15:19.759
 Once again,

00:15:19.899 --> 00:15:21.679
 notice it was for our sake.

00:15:22.659 --> 00:15:23.139
 God,

00:15:23.219 --> 00:15:24.000
 the Son of God,

00:15:25.339 --> 00:15:26.419
 God the Father,

00:15:26.839 --> 00:15:27.699
 and in other texts,

00:15:27.700 --> 00:15:28.720
 we know that the Holy Spirit,

00:15:28.860 --> 00:15:29.600
 all of the Trinity,

00:15:29.780 --> 00:15:30.400
 is involved

00:15:30.400 --> 00:15:31.640
 in this mighty act

00:15:31.640 --> 00:15:32.460
 to save us.

00:15:33.259 --> 00:15:34.560
 But God made him

00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:35.480
 to be sin

00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:36.480
 who knew no sin

00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:37.240
 so that in him

00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:37.900
 we might become

00:15:37.900 --> 00:15:38.860
 the righteousness of God.

00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:40.240
 Some of you have heard

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:41.560
 this story before,

00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:42.500
 but the very, very,

00:15:43.259 --> 00:15:44.060
 when I got ordained

00:15:44.060 --> 00:15:45.020
 on a Wednesday night

00:15:45.020 --> 00:15:47.580
 and the fellow

00:15:47.580 --> 00:15:48.780
 who was going to be my boss,

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:49.780
 the rector,

00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:50.300
 he said,

00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:50.420
 oh,

00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:51.140
 you can take Thursday,

00:15:51.280 --> 00:15:51.480
 Friday,

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:52.240
 Saturday off.

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:52.680
 And I did.

00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:54.100
 Just show up at church

00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:54.980
 on a Sunday morning

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:55.740
 and I did.

00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:57.399
 I helped at the two services.

00:15:57.940 --> 00:15:59.180
 And in between the two services,

00:15:59.180 --> 00:15:59.639
 he said,

00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.120
 I have two funerals tomorrow.

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:01.860
 One of them is going to be

00:16:01.860 --> 00:16:02.680
 a really big funeral.

00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:04.120
 It's a great way

00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.560
 for you to begin your ministry

00:16:05.560 --> 00:16:07.060
 to come and help me

00:16:07.060 --> 00:16:08.180
 with the funeral services.

00:16:08.420 --> 00:16:09.300
 And so the first funeral

00:16:09.300 --> 00:16:10.560
 that I helped at,

00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:11.420
 and obviously,

00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:12.240
 I had just shown up

00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:13.000
 on Sunday morning,

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:13.600
 so I didn't know

00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:14.639
 either of the deceased.

00:16:15.560 --> 00:16:17.759
 And I might have

00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:18.220
 the details

00:16:18.220 --> 00:16:19.200
 just slightly wrong,

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.560
 but they're fundamentally right.

00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:24.059
 The woman who had died

00:16:24.059 --> 00:16:24.639
 taught,

00:16:24.739 --> 00:16:26.179
 I think it was grade five

00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:27.839
 in the public school

00:16:27.839 --> 00:16:29.179
 was right across the street.

00:16:29.319 --> 00:16:30.179
 She died of cancer

00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:31.199
 relatively suddenly.

00:16:32.079 --> 00:16:33.079
 So she taught

00:16:33.079 --> 00:16:34.319
 grade five students

00:16:34.319 --> 00:16:35.279
 at the public school

00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:35.879
 in the neighborhood.

00:16:36.699 --> 00:16:38.159
 She left behind

00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:39.859
 three children,

00:16:40.579 --> 00:16:41.000
 12,

00:16:41.179 --> 00:16:41.639
 17,

00:16:41.739 --> 00:16:42.339
 and 19,

00:16:43.239 --> 00:16:43.859
 and they now

00:16:43.859 --> 00:16:44.959
 had no parents

00:16:44.959 --> 00:16:46.599
 because the father

00:16:46.599 --> 00:16:47.839
 had died tragically

00:16:47.839 --> 00:16:48.459
 in an accident

00:16:48.459 --> 00:16:49.659
 about a year or two later.

00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:52.159
 As you can well imagine,

00:16:52.299 --> 00:16:53.719
 the church was packed.

00:16:56.179 --> 00:16:59.000
 All the grade five students

00:16:59.000 --> 00:16:59.859
 and their parents,

00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:00.519
 you know,

00:17:00.619 --> 00:17:01.539
 and everybody else,

00:17:01.739 --> 00:17:02.739
 it was one of the,

00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:04.460
 probably the teariest funerals

00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:05.440
 I have ever been at

00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:06.619
 in my entire life.

00:17:06.679 --> 00:17:07.339
 It was the first one

00:17:07.339 --> 00:17:07.859
 I helped at.

00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:09.299
 I didn't know the woman.

00:17:09.379 --> 00:17:10.119
 I could hardly read

00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:10.940
 the Bible passage.

00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:12.319
 That's all I was asked to do

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.259
 because it was just,

00:17:14.399 --> 00:17:16.419
 the emotion was immense.

00:17:16.419 --> 00:17:19.200
 The sorrow was immense

00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:20.620
 in the room

00:17:20.620 --> 00:17:21.940
 and I,

00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:22.180
 I,

00:17:22.259 --> 00:17:22.720
 I,

00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:23.840
 I was just,

00:17:24.460 --> 00:17:24.819
 you know,

00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:25.980
 I was just overwhelmed

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:26.680
 by it

00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.779
 and just like trying to,

00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:31.299
 it was just like on me,

00:17:31.340 --> 00:17:31.620
 you know,

00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:33.380
 probably would be for you too

00:17:33.380 --> 00:17:34.620
 unless you're really hard-hearted.

00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:36.980
 You know who you are

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:40.960
 and maybe actually

00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:42.240
 your friends know who you are.

00:17:42.339 --> 00:17:43.380
 That's a separate sermon.

00:17:44.299 --> 00:17:46.000
 That's a separate sermon topic.

00:17:46.860 --> 00:17:47.180
 Anyway,

00:17:47.420 --> 00:17:48.079
 so I get into the,

00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:48.440
 the,

00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:49.420
 I didn't know this.

00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:50.380
 I'm learning how to do it,

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:50.539
 right?

00:17:50.579 --> 00:17:51.440
 So I get into the,

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:53.400
 the rector and I,

00:17:53.539 --> 00:17:53.779
 Peter,

00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:55.120
 Peter and I go out.

00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.019
 The funeral director

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:57.720
 ushers us to a special car

00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.120
 and we go in and sit there

00:17:59.120 --> 00:18:01.140
 and the funeral director

00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:01.799
 looking very,

00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:02.539
 very solemn,

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:02.880
 very,

00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:03.759
 very serious.

00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:05.920
 He,

00:18:06.099 --> 00:18:07.500
 he goes out

00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:08.539
 and is helping the family

00:18:08.539 --> 00:18:09.339
 and all that

00:18:09.339 --> 00:18:10.619
 and then he sits down

00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:10.980
 in the car,

00:18:11.059 --> 00:18:11.940
 starts to pull off.

00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:12.379
 He asks,

00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:12.579
 you know,

00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:13.720
 is the air conditioning all right?

00:18:13.779 --> 00:18:14.099
 We said,

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:14.279
 yeah,

00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:14.660
 it's good

00:18:14.660 --> 00:18:15.680
 and then he said,

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:16.879
 what about the Blue Jays?

00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:19.379
 He meant the baseball team,

00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:19.779
 by the way

00:18:19.779 --> 00:18:20.640
 and,

00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:23.059
 and it sort of really struck me

00:18:23.059 --> 00:18:25.859
 that he has to go to funerals

00:18:25.859 --> 00:18:27.299
 like that all the time

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:28.680
 and if he let

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:30.200
 the sadness

00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:31.220
 and the sorrow

00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:32.220
 and the death

00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:33.000
 and all of that,

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:34.839
 if he let it affect him,

00:18:34.859 --> 00:18:36.079
 it would probably break him

00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:38.579
 and so for most of us,

00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:39.319
 in some ways,

00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:40.259
 that's what we want

00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:41.599
 but what this text

00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:42.299
 is saying here

00:18:42.299 --> 00:18:42.799
 when it says,

00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:43.700
 for our sake,

00:18:43.819 --> 00:18:45.079
 he made him to be sin

00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:46.079
 who knew no sin

00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:46.980
 so that in him

00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:47.740
 we might become

00:18:47.740 --> 00:18:48.960
 the righteousness of God

00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.940
 that what the Bible

00:18:50.940 --> 00:18:51.720
 is saying here

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.599
 is that God,

00:18:53.299 --> 00:18:53.920
 the Father

00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:54.500
 and God,

00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:55.000
 the Son

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:55.779
 looks down

00:18:55.779 --> 00:18:57.660
 and sees our great need.

00:18:58.319 --> 00:18:59.039
 He sees

00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:01.000
 that we are burdened

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:01.680
 with things

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.700
 that we've done wrong.

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:03.640
 He sees

00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:04.740
 that we are burdened

00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:05.779
 with a fear of death.

00:19:06.059 --> 00:19:06.660
 He sees

00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:07.600
 that we are burdened

00:19:07.600 --> 00:19:08.220
 with shame.

00:19:08.779 --> 00:19:09.380
 He sees

00:19:09.380 --> 00:19:10.319
 that we are burdened

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.000
 with weakness.

00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:12.080
 He sees

00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:13.100
 that we are burdened

00:19:13.100 --> 00:19:14.059
 with emotions

00:19:14.059 --> 00:19:14.799
 and memories

00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:16.160
 that we just cannot handle.

00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:17.380
 He sees

00:19:17.380 --> 00:19:18.360
 that we are burdened

00:19:18.360 --> 00:19:19.700
 with so many things

00:19:19.700 --> 00:19:20.980
 and he himself

00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:21.920
 is not burdened

00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:23.220
 with any of those things

00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:24.980
 because he is in heaven

00:19:24.980 --> 00:19:26.220
 but for our sake,

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:27.980
 he comes down to earth

00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:29.180
 and he is not

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:30.580
 like the funeral director

00:19:30.579 --> 00:19:32.259
 who just has learned

00:19:32.259 --> 00:19:33.139
 how to have

00:19:33.139 --> 00:19:34.279
 all of the emotion

00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.279
 and all of the things

00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:37.159
 that are going around

00:19:37.159 --> 00:19:37.779
 in the face

00:19:37.779 --> 00:19:39.000
 of tragic death

00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:40.259
 and he has learned

00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:41.119
 how to have it be

00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:42.159
 just like water

00:19:42.159 --> 00:19:43.240
 off a duck's back

00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:44.159
 and Jesus

00:19:44.159 --> 00:19:45.639
 is not like that

00:19:45.639 --> 00:19:46.599
 funeral director.

00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:52.019
 God made him

00:19:52.019 --> 00:19:53.039
 to be sin.

00:19:55.259 --> 00:19:56.740
 Not just grief

00:19:56.740 --> 00:19:57.259
 and shame

00:19:57.259 --> 00:19:58.139
 but everything

00:19:58.139 --> 00:20:00.159
 that weighs us down,

00:20:00.379 --> 00:20:01.599
 everything that keeps us

00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:02.199
 from God,

00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.079
 everything that accuses us,

00:20:04.339 --> 00:20:05.079
 everything,

00:20:06.159 --> 00:20:07.219
 everything

00:20:07.219 --> 00:20:11.319
 that what we see

00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:12.259
 when we see Jesus

00:20:12.259 --> 00:20:13.399
 dying on the cross

00:20:13.399 --> 00:20:14.579
 is we see

00:20:14.579 --> 00:20:15.339
 in a sense

00:20:15.339 --> 00:20:16.679
 him saying,

00:20:16.919 --> 00:20:17.319
 George,

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:18.779
 for all of that

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:20.039
 that is on you,

00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:23.000
 it comes on me.

00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:25.159
 I am not

00:20:25.159 --> 00:20:26.319
 the funeral director.

00:20:27.199 --> 00:20:29.099
 I am the savior.

00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.059
 I will take

00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:33.779
 all of that

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:34.619
 upon myself.

00:20:34.859 --> 00:20:36.179
 I, in my weakness

00:20:36.179 --> 00:20:36.939
 of death,

00:20:37.579 --> 00:20:38.319
 is taking

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:39.299
 all that that

00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:40.279
 makes you weak

00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:42.480
 and it is on me.

00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.440
 And so

00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:46.000
 when the text

00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:46.599
 is saying

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:49.420
 for our sake,

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:50.339
 not for his own

00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:51.440
 but for you and me,

00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:53.400
 God made him

00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:54.220
 to be sin

00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:55.380
 who knew no sin.

00:20:55.980 --> 00:20:57.019
 It's describing

00:20:57.019 --> 00:20:57.779
 in the terms

00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:58.720
 of relationship

00:20:58.720 --> 00:20:59.940
 and of evil

00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:02.860
 and of shame

00:21:02.860 --> 00:21:04.460
 and of fear

00:21:04.460 --> 00:21:05.140
 of death,

00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:06.579
 it all being

00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:08.000
 laid upon him

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:08.680
 and absorbed

00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:09.620
 by him

00:21:09.620 --> 00:21:10.220
 and dealt

00:21:10.220 --> 00:21:10.839
 with him

00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:11.480
 and all

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.200
 of it's done

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:13.519
 when it says

00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:13.980
 that we might

00:21:13.980 --> 00:21:14.480
 become the

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:15.480
 righteousness of God,

00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:16.660
 all of it's done

00:21:16.660 --> 00:21:17.720
 is so that we

00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:18.319
 can be made

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:19.220
 right with God.

00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:19.940
 That's what the

00:21:19.940 --> 00:21:20.680
 word righteousness

00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:21.299
 here in this

00:21:21.299 --> 00:21:22.380
 particular context,

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:24.039
 that it's made

00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:24.539
 right.

00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:25.279
 You know,

00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:26.079
 how many of us

00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:26.799
 have, you know,

00:21:26.860 --> 00:21:27.500
 relationships

00:21:27.500 --> 00:21:28.200
 and we wish

00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:28.559
 that we could

00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:29.440
 be reconciled

00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:29.660
 to them,

00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:30.019
 that we could

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:30.700
 make it right

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.160
 and we just

00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:31.900
 can't make it

00:21:31.900 --> 00:21:32.180
 right?

00:21:32.420 --> 00:21:33.400
 It's a constant

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.079
 thing that comes

00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:34.759
 up in counseling

00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:35.400
 and conversation.

00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:36.640
 We just can't

00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:37.440
 be reconciled.

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.120
 It just can't

00:21:38.120 --> 00:21:38.380
 happen.

00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:38.880
 We can't

00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:39.600
 make it

00:21:39.600 --> 00:21:39.920
 right.

00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:41.160
 And this,

00:21:41.320 --> 00:21:41.960
 what's described

00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:42.660
 here is that

00:21:42.660 --> 00:21:43.520
 by all of

00:21:43.520 --> 00:21:44.020
 these things

00:21:44.020 --> 00:21:44.500
 being laid

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:45.580
 on Jesus,

00:21:45.580 --> 00:21:46.380
 there is a

00:21:46.380 --> 00:21:47.700
 way by which

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:48.940
 his weakness,

00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:50.440
 his death,

00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:54.520
 when we

00:21:54.520 --> 00:21:55.160
 accept what

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:55.560
 he's done

00:21:55.560 --> 00:21:55.980
 for us

00:21:55.980 --> 00:21:56.700
 by faith,

00:21:56.860 --> 00:21:57.920
 it makes

00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:58.500
 us right

00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:59.300
 with God

00:21:59.300 --> 00:22:01.320
 and doesn't

00:22:01.320 --> 00:22:02.100
 just make

00:22:02.100 --> 00:22:02.640
 us right

00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:03.300
 with God

00:22:03.300 --> 00:22:04.540
 for a tiny

00:22:04.540 --> 00:22:05.200
 moment while

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:05.700
 we have a

00:22:05.700 --> 00:22:06.160
 type of

00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:07.280
 emotional release,

00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:09.039
 but objectively,

00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:09.920
 truly,

00:22:11.019 --> 00:22:11.740
 in the eyes

00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:12.180
 of God

00:22:12.180 --> 00:22:12.460
 and for

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:13.240
 all eternity

00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:14.619
 that he's

00:22:14.619 --> 00:22:14.960
 made us

00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:15.359
 right with

00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:15.579
 him.

00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:19.480
 You see,

00:22:19.779 --> 00:22:20.960
 that's what

00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:21.339
 the Bible

00:22:21.339 --> 00:22:21.680
 means.

00:22:21.779 --> 00:22:22.039
 If you go

00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:22.480
 back to

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:23.299
 2 Corinthians

00:22:23.299 --> 00:22:24.879
 chapter 13

00:22:24.879 --> 00:22:26.279
 verse 4,

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:27.399
 for he

00:22:27.399 --> 00:22:27.680
 was,

00:22:28.460 --> 00:22:29.119
 listen to it

00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:29.579
 again now,

00:22:29.639 --> 00:22:30.079
 in light of

00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:30.420
 what I've

00:22:30.420 --> 00:22:30.759
 just said,

00:22:30.819 --> 00:22:31.480
 what Paul

00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:31.920
 has already

00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:32.339
 said,

00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:32.980
 listen to it

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:33.319
 again,

00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:34.259
 beginning at

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:35.079
 verse 3b,

00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:37.119
 he is not

00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:37.740
 weak in

00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:38.339
 dealing with

00:22:38.339 --> 00:22:38.619
 you,

00:22:39.179 --> 00:22:40.099
 but is

00:22:40.099 --> 00:22:40.599
 powerful

00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:41.399
 among you.

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:44.319
 For he

00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:45.039
 was crucified

00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:45.960
 in weakness,

00:22:46.379 --> 00:22:47.500
 but lives

00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:47.839
 by the

00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:48.319
 power of

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:48.619
 God.

00:22:50.379 --> 00:22:51.240
 For we

00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:52.579
 also are

00:22:52.579 --> 00:22:53.639
 weak in

00:22:53.639 --> 00:22:53.980
 him,

00:22:54.539 --> 00:22:55.339
 but in

00:22:55.339 --> 00:22:55.859
 dealing with

00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:56.159
 you,

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.039
 we will

00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:57.460
 live with

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:57.819
 him by

00:22:57.819 --> 00:22:58.339
 the power

00:22:58.339 --> 00:22:58.879
 of God.

00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:04.240
 you see,

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:04.980
 as the

00:23:04.980 --> 00:23:05.560
 gospel

00:23:05.560 --> 00:23:07.400
 grounds us,

00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:07.880
 as this

00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:08.240
 thing that

00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:08.520
 he was

00:23:08.520 --> 00:23:09.160
 crucified in

00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:09.460
 weakness,

00:23:09.560 --> 00:23:09.920
 but lives

00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:10.260
 by the

00:23:10.260 --> 00:23:10.720
 power of

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:10.940
 God,

00:23:11.020 --> 00:23:12.960
 as this

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:14.160
 grips us,

00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:14.780
 as it

00:23:14.780 --> 00:23:15.180
 starts to

00:23:15.180 --> 00:23:15.660
 become the

00:23:15.660 --> 00:23:16.280
 ground on

00:23:16.280 --> 00:23:16.720
 which we

00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:17.380
 stand and

00:23:17.380 --> 00:23:17.720
 we can

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:18.440
 see ourselves

00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:18.820
 and we

00:23:18.820 --> 00:23:19.200
 can see

00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:19.800
 our world,

00:23:20.260 --> 00:23:20.740
 it starts

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:21.320
 to shape

00:23:21.320 --> 00:23:21.720
 us,

00:23:22.520 --> 00:23:23.420
 as it

00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:24.100
 grips us,

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:24.620
 it starts

00:23:24.620 --> 00:23:25.180
 to pull

00:23:25.180 --> 00:23:25.840
 us into

00:23:25.840 --> 00:23:26.840
 doing certain

00:23:26.840 --> 00:23:27.400
 things that

00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:27.660
 we would

00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:28.140
 never have

00:23:28.140 --> 00:23:28.840
 done before,

00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:30.220
 it starts

00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:31.240
 to push

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:31.680
 us,

00:23:32.540 --> 00:23:33.280
 nudge us

00:23:33.280 --> 00:23:34.160
 into doing

00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:34.640
 things that

00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:34.880
 we have

00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:35.360
 never done

00:23:35.360 --> 00:23:35.860
 before,

00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:36.980
 and as

00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:37.460
 it's

00:23:37.460 --> 00:23:38.160
 grounding us

00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:38.600
 and helping

00:23:38.600 --> 00:23:39.100
 us to see

00:23:39.100 --> 00:23:39.560
 the world

00:23:39.560 --> 00:23:40.040
 in maybe

00:23:40.040 --> 00:23:40.640
 a way that

00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:41.240
 we hadn't

00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:41.780
 realized that

00:23:41.780 --> 00:23:42.100
 you could

00:23:42.100 --> 00:23:42.540
 see the

00:23:42.540 --> 00:23:42.920
 world,

00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:43.620
 and that's

00:23:43.620 --> 00:23:44.720
 how you're

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:45.060
 starting to

00:23:45.060 --> 00:23:45.420
 grow in

00:23:45.420 --> 00:23:45.820
 Christ,

00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:46.140
 is you

00:23:46.140 --> 00:23:46.560
 start to

00:23:46.560 --> 00:23:47.060
 realize that

00:23:47.060 --> 00:23:47.240
 when you

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:47.600
 look at

00:23:47.600 --> 00:23:48.180
 others,

00:23:48.340 --> 00:23:48.540
 and you

00:23:48.540 --> 00:23:48.800
 look at

00:23:48.800 --> 00:23:49.280
 the church,

00:23:49.360 --> 00:23:49.500
 and you

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:49.760
 look at

00:23:49.760 --> 00:23:50.080
 God,

00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:50.340
 and you

00:23:50.340 --> 00:23:50.560
 look at

00:23:50.560 --> 00:23:51.000
 yourself,

00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:51.320
 and you

00:23:51.320 --> 00:23:51.540
 look at

00:23:51.540 --> 00:23:52.100
 your family,

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:52.380
 and you

00:23:52.380 --> 00:23:52.660
 look at

00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:53.280
 sexuality,

00:23:53.940 --> 00:23:54.380
 you look at

00:23:54.380 --> 00:23:54.720
 money,

00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:55.900
 you look at

00:23:55.900 --> 00:23:56.560
 time,

00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:58.159
 meaning,

00:23:58.399 --> 00:23:58.759
 you look at

00:23:58.759 --> 00:23:59.200
 purpose,

00:23:59.359 --> 00:23:59.740
 you look at

00:23:59.740 --> 00:24:00.039
 art,

00:24:00.159 --> 00:24:00.519
 you look at

00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:01.019
 culture,

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:01.579
 you look at

00:24:01.579 --> 00:24:02.119
 dance,

00:24:03.399 --> 00:24:03.700
 and as

00:24:03.700 --> 00:24:04.559
 you're

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.099
 grounded on

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:05.419
 that and

00:24:05.419 --> 00:24:05.899
 gripped by

00:24:05.899 --> 00:24:06.119
 that,

00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:06.619
 it starts

00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:06.839
 to,

00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:09.859
 by standing

00:24:09.859 --> 00:24:10.480
 in such a

00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:10.919
 place and

00:24:10.919 --> 00:24:11.379
 being gripped

00:24:11.379 --> 00:24:12.079
 by such a

00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:12.539
 truth and

00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:13.220
 believing that

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:13.720
 that really

00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:14.740
 actually happened,

00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:15.940
 and being

00:24:15.940 --> 00:24:16.559
 pushed and

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:17.079
 pulled and

00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:17.440
 shaped,

00:24:17.639 --> 00:24:18.559
 it changes

00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:18.899
 you.

00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:21.740
 You see,

00:24:22.120 --> 00:24:22.660
 this is

00:24:22.660 --> 00:24:23.019
 Paul's

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:23.500
 second letter

00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:24.019
 to Corinth,

00:24:24.540 --> 00:24:25.500
 and if you

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:26.000
 go back to

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:26.440
 his first

00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:26.920
 letter in

00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:27.200
 Corinth,

00:24:28.540 --> 00:24:29.200
 and you

00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:29.280
 know,

00:24:29.340 --> 00:24:29.660
 this is

00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:30.160
 really hard

00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:30.660
 for us to

00:24:30.660 --> 00:24:31.100
 look at

00:24:31.100 --> 00:24:31.780
 chapter one,

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:32.519
 this is

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:32.920
 really hard

00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:33.340
 for us to

00:24:33.340 --> 00:24:33.759
 understand

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.140
 that there

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:34.460
 was a

00:24:34.460 --> 00:24:35.180
 time in

00:24:35.180 --> 00:24:35.840
 the world

00:24:35.840 --> 00:24:37.080
 where there

00:24:37.080 --> 00:24:37.519
 was no

00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:38.340
 television,

00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:40.320
 no radio,

00:24:41.840 --> 00:24:42.740
 no

00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:43.480
 newspapers,

00:24:44.820 --> 00:24:47.320
 no Twitter,

00:24:47.580 --> 00:24:48.259
 no Facebook,

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:49.200
 no Instagram,

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:51.240
 and so it's

00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:51.940
 hard to

00:24:51.940 --> 00:24:52.819
 remember that

00:24:52.819 --> 00:24:53.920
 there was a

00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:54.599
 time when

00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:55.379
 words were

00:24:55.379 --> 00:24:55.920
 few,

00:24:56.740 --> 00:24:57.119
 and so

00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:57.980
 because words

00:24:57.980 --> 00:24:58.519
 were few,

00:24:58.640 --> 00:24:59.180
 they often

00:24:59.180 --> 00:25:00.259
 stuck longer.

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:01.400
 So the

00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:01.879
 people in

00:25:01.879 --> 00:25:02.460
 Corinth would

00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:02.819
 have very

00:25:02.819 --> 00:25:03.279
 clearly

00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:03.799
 remembered

00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:04.420
 this part

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:04.859
 here in

00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:06.160
 1 Corinthians

00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:06.420
 1.

00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:06.859
 I'll begin

00:25:06.859 --> 00:25:07.299
 reading verse

00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:07.579
 18.

00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:07.879
 Once I

00:25:07.879 --> 00:25:08.279
 start going

00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:08.579
 into it,

00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:08.740
 you'll

00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:09.299
 recognize it

00:25:09.299 --> 00:25:09.539
 as a

00:25:09.539 --> 00:25:09.799
 famous

00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:10.500
 passage if

00:25:10.500 --> 00:25:10.740
 you've

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:11.440
 been a

00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:11.720
 Christian

00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:12.099
 for a

00:25:12.099 --> 00:25:12.319
 while.

00:25:13.339 --> 00:25:13.720
 For the

00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:14.019
 word of

00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:14.640
 the cross

00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:15.779
 is folly,

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:17.140
 it's

00:25:17.140 --> 00:25:17.859
 foolish to

00:25:17.859 --> 00:25:18.220
 those who

00:25:18.220 --> 00:25:18.759
 are perishing,

00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:19.220
 but to

00:25:19.220 --> 00:25:19.559
 us who

00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:19.839
 are being

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:20.539
 saved,

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:21.759
 it is

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:22.299
 the power

00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:22.980
 of God.

00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:24.579
 For it

00:25:24.579 --> 00:25:24.860
 is written,

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:25.200
 I will

00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:25.900
 destroy the

00:25:25.900 --> 00:25:26.319
 wisdom of

00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:26.700
 the wise

00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:27.000
 and the

00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:27.539
 discernment

00:25:27.539 --> 00:25:27.779
 of the

00:25:27.779 --> 00:25:28.120
 discerning

00:25:28.120 --> 00:25:28.480
 I will

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:28.799
 thwart.

00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:29.579
 Where is

00:25:29.579 --> 00:25:29.860
 the one

00:25:29.860 --> 00:25:30.140
 who is

00:25:30.140 --> 00:25:30.440
 wise?

00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:30.900
 Where is

00:25:30.900 --> 00:25:31.100
 the

00:25:31.100 --> 00:25:31.460
 scribe?

00:25:31.539 --> 00:25:31.839
 Where is

00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:32.019
 the

00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:32.539
 debater

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:33.000
 of this

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:33.279
 age?

00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:33.819
 Has

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:34.480
 not God

00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:34.740
 made

00:25:34.740 --> 00:25:35.220
 foolish

00:25:35.220 --> 00:25:35.440
 the

00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:35.740
 wisdom

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:36.019
 of the

00:25:36.019 --> 00:25:36.360
 world?

00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:37.120
 For

00:25:37.120 --> 00:25:37.500
 since

00:25:37.500 --> 00:25:37.920
 in the

00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:38.240
 wisdom

00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:38.559
 of the

00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:38.779
 world,

00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:38.980
 the

00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:39.220
 world

00:25:39.220 --> 00:25:39.460
 did

00:25:39.460 --> 00:25:39.680
 not

00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:39.960
 know

00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:40.279
 God

00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:40.559
 through

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:41.279
 wisdom,

00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:42.839
 how

00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:43.039
 do we

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:43.160
 know

00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:43.380
 God

00:25:43.380 --> 00:25:43.559
 through

00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:48.819
 He

00:25:48.819 --> 00:25:49.380
 became

00:25:49.380 --> 00:25:49.860
 poor

00:25:49.860 --> 00:25:50.440
 so that

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:51.100
 we

00:25:51.100 --> 00:25:51.960
 might

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:52.360
 become

00:25:52.360 --> 00:25:52.819
 rich.

00:25:53.339 --> 00:25:53.660
 He

00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:54.019
 took

00:25:54.019 --> 00:25:54.400
 upon

00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:54.900
 Himself,

00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:55.519
 He

00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:55.860
 wasn't

00:25:55.860 --> 00:25:56.039
 like

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:56.259
 that

00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:56.640
 funeral

00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:57.140
 director,

00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:57.440
 He

00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:57.759
 took

00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.059
 upon

00:25:58.059 --> 00:25:58.420
 Himself

00:25:58.420 --> 00:25:59.100
 everything

00:25:59.100 --> 00:26:00.140
 that

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:00.259
 we

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:00.480
 might

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:00.660
 be

00:26:00.660 --> 00:26:00.900
 made

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:01.140
 right

00:26:01.140 --> 00:26:01.360
 with

00:26:01.360 --> 00:26:01.759
 God.

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:03.700
 See

00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:03.839
 that

00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:04.059

00:26:04.059 --> 00:26:04.200

00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:04.400
 verse

00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:04.980
 21,

00:26:05.140 --> 00:26:05.240
 for

00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:05.480
 since

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:05.620
 in

00:26:05.620 --> 00:26:05.740
 the

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:06.039
 wisdom

00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:06.240
 of

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:06.519
 God

00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:06.680
 the

00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:06.980
 world

00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:07.200
 did

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:07.380
 not

00:26:07.380 --> 00:26:07.600
 know

00:26:07.600 --> 00:26:07.860
 God

00:26:07.860 --> 00:26:08.079
 through

00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:08.440
 wisdom,

00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:08.640
 it

00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:08.940
 pleased

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:09.240
 God

00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:09.420
 through

00:26:09.420 --> 00:26:09.620
 the

00:26:09.620 --> 00:26:09.960
 folly

00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:10.100
 of

00:26:10.100 --> 00:26:10.200
 what

00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:10.380
 we

00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:10.860
 preach,

00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:11.079
 what

00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:11.180
 I

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:11.400
 just

00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:11.779
 told

00:26:11.779 --> 00:26:12.079
 you,

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:12.759
 what

00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:13.039
 Paul

00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:13.319
 just

00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:13.679
 writes

00:26:13.679 --> 00:26:13.899
 in

00:26:13.899 --> 00:26:14.359
 Corinthians

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:14.960
 to

00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:15.439
 save

00:26:15.439 --> 00:26:15.919
 those

00:26:15.919 --> 00:26:16.099
 who

00:26:16.099 --> 00:26:16.399
 believe,

00:26:16.539 --> 00:26:16.679
 for

00:26:16.679 --> 00:26:17.259
 Jews

00:26:17.259 --> 00:26:17.980
 demand

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:18.619
 signs,

00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:18.879
 that's

00:26:18.879 --> 00:26:19.159
 a type

00:26:19.159 --> 00:26:19.319
 of

00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:19.759
 miracle,

00:26:20.299 --> 00:26:20.779
 powerful

00:26:20.779 --> 00:26:21.279
 miracle

00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:21.700
 with a

00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:21.980
 sign,

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:22.179
 and

00:26:22.179 --> 00:26:22.460
 Greeks

00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:22.799
 seek

00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:23.240
 wisdom,

00:26:23.659 --> 00:26:23.779
 but

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:24.019
 we

00:26:24.019 --> 00:26:24.379
 preach

00:26:24.379 --> 00:26:24.819
 Christ

00:26:24.819 --> 00:26:25.439
 crucified,

00:26:25.579 --> 00:26:25.700
 a

00:26:25.700 --> 00:26:26.139
 stumbling

00:26:26.139 --> 00:26:26.539
 block

00:26:26.539 --> 00:26:26.779
 to

00:26:26.779 --> 00:26:27.359
 Jews,

00:26:27.980 --> 00:26:28.139
 a

00:26:28.139 --> 00:26:28.419
 stumbling

00:26:28.419 --> 00:26:28.700
 block

00:26:28.700 --> 00:26:28.879
 to

00:26:28.879 --> 00:26:29.139
 those

00:26:29.139 --> 00:26:29.279
 who

00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:29.359
 are

00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:29.480
 in

00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:29.639
 love

00:26:29.639 --> 00:26:29.799
 with

00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:30.319
 power,

00:26:30.419 --> 00:26:30.679
 that's

00:26:30.679 --> 00:26:30.799
 what

00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:30.960
 it's

00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:31.119
 really

00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:31.579
 saying,

00:26:32.419 --> 00:26:33.019
 and

00:26:33.019 --> 00:26:33.679
 folly

00:26:33.679 --> 00:26:34.319
 to

00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:34.599
 those

00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:34.720
 who

00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:34.759
 are

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:34.879
 in

00:26:34.879 --> 00:26:35.019
 love

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:35.200
 with

00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:35.619
 wisdom,

00:26:36.899 --> 00:26:37.599
 but

00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:37.720
 to

00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:38.000
 those

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:38.139
 who

00:26:38.139 --> 00:26:38.259
 are

00:26:38.259 --> 00:26:38.899
 called,

00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:40.079
 because

00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:40.500
 you see,

00:26:40.699 --> 00:26:41.299
 even now,

00:26:41.379 --> 00:26:41.779
 right now,

00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:42.159
 if you're

00:26:42.159 --> 00:26:42.500
 in this

00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:42.740
 room,

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:44.319
 and I

00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:44.539
 don't know

00:26:44.539 --> 00:26:44.740
 if you

00:26:44.740 --> 00:26:45.079
 consider

00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:45.480
 yourself

00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:45.659
 a

00:26:45.659 --> 00:26:45.939
 Christian

00:26:45.939 --> 00:26:46.279
 or not,

00:26:46.339 --> 00:26:46.699
 if you're

00:26:46.699 --> 00:26:47.019
 in this

00:26:47.019 --> 00:26:47.299
 room,

00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:48.759
 hopefully

00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:49.439
 right now,

00:26:49.579 --> 00:26:49.980
 at least

00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:50.460
 in some

00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:50.819
 sense,

00:26:50.919 --> 00:26:51.419
 emotionally,

00:26:51.699 --> 00:26:52.079
 if not

00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:52.559
 intellectually,

00:26:52.679 --> 00:26:53.240
 you understand

00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:53.699
 that Jesus

00:26:53.699 --> 00:26:54.279
 is calling

00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:54.659
 you right

00:26:54.659 --> 00:26:55.000
 now.

00:26:58.500 --> 00:26:58.899
 That

00:26:58.899 --> 00:26:59.379
 pressure

00:26:59.379 --> 00:26:59.819
 you might

00:26:59.819 --> 00:27:00.399
 feel is

00:27:00.399 --> 00:27:00.939
 him knocking

00:27:00.939 --> 00:27:01.259
 on the

00:27:01.259 --> 00:27:01.579
 door of

00:27:01.579 --> 00:27:02.119
 your heart,

00:27:02.879 --> 00:27:03.759
 and he's

00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.379
 calling to

00:27:04.379 --> 00:27:04.559
 you,

00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:04.879
 and he's

00:27:04.879 --> 00:27:05.059
 saying,

00:27:05.159 --> 00:27:05.359
 whatever

00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:05.819
 your name

00:27:05.819 --> 00:27:05.980
 is,

00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:06.119
 I'll

00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:06.460
 just say

00:27:06.460 --> 00:27:06.799
 George,

00:27:06.879 --> 00:27:07.059
 he's

00:27:07.059 --> 00:27:07.199
 saying,

00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:07.500
 George,

00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:07.939
 open the

00:27:07.939 --> 00:27:08.119
 door,

00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:08.379
 and let

00:27:08.379 --> 00:27:08.519
 me

00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:08.719
 come

00:27:08.719 --> 00:27:08.979
 and be

00:27:08.979 --> 00:27:09.199
 your

00:27:09.199 --> 00:27:09.500
 savior.

00:27:12.459 --> 00:27:13.000
 But to

00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:13.359
 those who

00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:13.899
 are called,

00:27:14.139 --> 00:27:14.759
 both those

00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:15.239
 who love

00:27:15.239 --> 00:27:16.199
 power and

00:27:16.199 --> 00:27:16.759
 those who

00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:16.959
 love

00:27:16.959 --> 00:27:17.379
 wisdom,

00:27:18.179 --> 00:27:18.699
 Christ,

00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:19.279
 the power

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:19.619
 of God

00:27:19.619 --> 00:27:19.839
 and the

00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:20.059
 wisdom

00:27:20.059 --> 00:27:20.379
 of God,

00:27:20.479 --> 00:27:20.719
 here's

00:27:20.719 --> 00:27:21.099
 the key

00:27:21.099 --> 00:27:21.459
 verse,

00:27:22.239 --> 00:27:22.559
 for the

00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:23.199
 foolishness

00:27:23.199 --> 00:27:23.759
 of God

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:24.419
 is wiser

00:27:24.419 --> 00:27:25.000
 than men,

00:27:25.099 --> 00:27:25.399
 and the

00:27:25.399 --> 00:27:25.719
 weakness

00:27:25.719 --> 00:27:26.319
 of God

00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:26.979
 is stronger

00:27:26.979 --> 00:27:27.519
 than men.

00:27:28.259 --> 00:27:28.919
 For the

00:27:28.919 --> 00:27:29.519
 foolishness

00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:30.059
 of God

00:27:30.059 --> 00:27:30.699
 is wiser

00:27:30.699 --> 00:27:31.259
 than men.

00:27:32.639 --> 00:27:33.039
 By that

00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:33.579
 he means

00:27:33.579 --> 00:27:34.299
 all human

00:27:34.299 --> 00:27:34.719
 power,

00:27:34.919 --> 00:27:35.239
 and the

00:27:35.239 --> 00:27:35.519
 weakness

00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:36.000
 of God

00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:36.599
 is stronger

00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:37.019
 than all

00:27:37.019 --> 00:27:37.319
 human

00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:37.739
 power.

00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:41.399
 So let's

00:27:41.399 --> 00:27:42.019
 go back

00:27:42.019 --> 00:27:42.839
 to 2 Corinthians

00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:43.379
 13.

00:27:43.539 --> 00:27:43.679
 You know,

00:27:43.739 --> 00:27:44.159
 those of you

00:27:44.159 --> 00:27:44.439
 who come

00:27:44.439 --> 00:27:44.919
 here often,

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:45.159
 you know,

00:27:45.199 --> 00:27:45.399
 I don't

00:27:45.399 --> 00:27:46.059
 often flip

00:27:46.059 --> 00:27:46.539
 around a

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:46.639
 bit,

00:27:46.699 --> 00:27:46.939
 but we're

00:27:46.939 --> 00:27:47.279
 coming to

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:47.519
 the end

00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:47.699
 of the

00:27:47.699 --> 00:27:47.899
 book,

00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:48.979
 and weakness

00:27:48.979 --> 00:27:49.379
 has been

00:27:49.379 --> 00:27:49.779
 a theme

00:27:49.779 --> 00:27:50.239
 all the way

00:27:50.239 --> 00:27:50.579
 through the

00:27:50.579 --> 00:27:51.399
 time of

00:27:51.399 --> 00:27:52.279
 2 Corinthians,

00:27:52.439 --> 00:27:52.699
 and it's

00:27:52.699 --> 00:27:53.079
 time to

00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:53.299
 sort of

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:53.559
 try to

00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:53.879
 gather

00:27:53.879 --> 00:27:54.319
 that up

00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:54.779
 a little

00:27:54.779 --> 00:27:55.199
 bit as

00:27:55.199 --> 00:27:55.479
 to what

00:27:55.479 --> 00:27:55.919
 the Bible

00:27:55.919 --> 00:27:56.479
 means.

00:27:56.959 --> 00:27:57.359
 Look at

00:27:57.359 --> 00:27:57.959
 here again

00:27:57.959 --> 00:28:00.579
 at 2 Corinthians

00:28:00.579 --> 00:28:01.099
 3,

00:28:01.259 --> 00:28:02.139
 verses 3

00:28:02.139 --> 00:28:02.519
 and 4,

00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:02.939
 the second

00:28:02.939 --> 00:28:03.259
 part of

00:28:03.259 --> 00:28:03.659
 verse 3,

00:28:03.660 --> 00:28:04.040
 he is

00:28:04.040 --> 00:28:04.580
 not weak

00:28:04.580 --> 00:28:04.980
 in dealing

00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:05.380
 with you

00:28:05.380 --> 00:28:05.660
 but is

00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:06.080
 powerful

00:28:06.080 --> 00:28:06.680
 among you

00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:07.320
 for he

00:28:07.320 --> 00:28:07.980
 was crucified

00:28:07.980 --> 00:28:08.600
 in weakness

00:28:08.600 --> 00:28:09.140
 but lives

00:28:09.140 --> 00:28:09.740
 by the power

00:28:09.740 --> 00:28:10.240
 of God

00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:10.940
 for we

00:28:10.940 --> 00:28:11.540
 also are

00:28:11.540 --> 00:28:12.120
 weak in him

00:28:12.120 --> 00:28:12.480
 but in

00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:12.960
 dealing with

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:13.259
 you we

00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:13.700
 will live

00:28:13.700 --> 00:28:14.160
 with him

00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:14.800
 by the

00:28:14.800 --> 00:28:15.360
 power of

00:28:15.360 --> 00:28:15.640
 God.

00:28:16.080 --> 00:28:17.200
 And last

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:17.600
 week we

00:28:17.600 --> 00:28:18.019
 talked a

00:28:18.019 --> 00:28:18.300
 little bit

00:28:18.300 --> 00:28:18.920
 about Paul

00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:19.620
 having a

00:28:19.620 --> 00:28:20.820
 thorn in

00:28:20.820 --> 00:28:21.340
 the flesh.

00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:22.679
 and so

00:28:22.679 --> 00:28:23.179
 part of

00:28:23.179 --> 00:28:23.379
 this

00:28:23.379 --> 00:28:23.799
 teaching

00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:24.019
 of

00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:24.399
 weakness

00:28:24.399 --> 00:28:25.500
 is

00:28:25.500 --> 00:28:26.379
 some

00:28:26.379 --> 00:28:26.500
 of

00:28:26.500 --> 00:28:26.579
 you

00:28:26.579 --> 00:28:26.699
 know

00:28:26.699 --> 00:28:26.839
 the

00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:27.079
 story

00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:27.279
 of

00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:27.679
 Gideon

00:28:27.679 --> 00:28:28.339
 where

00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:28.879
 God

00:28:28.879 --> 00:28:29.519
 is going

00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:29.879
 to deliver

00:28:29.879 --> 00:28:30.359
 the people

00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:30.659
 and he

00:28:30.659 --> 00:28:30.839
 gets

00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:31.199
 Gideon

00:28:31.199 --> 00:28:31.419
 to be

00:28:31.419 --> 00:28:31.819
 the leader

00:28:31.819 --> 00:28:32.699
 and I

00:28:32.699 --> 00:28:32.899
 can't

00:28:32.899 --> 00:28:33.019
 remember

00:28:33.019 --> 00:28:33.259
 what it

00:28:33.259 --> 00:28:33.439
 was

00:28:33.439 --> 00:28:33.639
 but he

00:28:33.639 --> 00:28:33.799
 has

00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:34.759
 tens

00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:35.000
 of

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:35.359
 thousands

00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:35.659
 of

00:28:35.659 --> 00:28:36.059
 soldiers

00:28:36.059 --> 00:28:36.699
 and God

00:28:36.699 --> 00:28:36.959
 says

00:28:36.959 --> 00:28:37.139
 to

00:28:37.139 --> 00:28:37.500
 Gideon

00:28:37.500 --> 00:28:38.079
 too

00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:38.279
 many

00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:38.980
 soldiers

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:40.339
 why

00:28:40.339 --> 00:28:40.480
 are

00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:40.559
 there

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:40.699
 too

00:28:40.699 --> 00:28:40.859
 many

00:28:40.859 --> 00:28:41.259
 soldiers

00:28:41.259 --> 00:28:41.599
 because

00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:42.099
 you're

00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:42.179
 going

00:28:42.179 --> 00:28:42.220
 to

00:28:42.220 --> 00:28:42.319
 end

00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:42.480
 up

00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:42.740
 thinking

00:28:42.740 --> 00:28:43.059
 it

00:28:43.059 --> 00:28:43.259
 was

00:28:43.259 --> 00:28:43.519
 your

00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:44.199
 might

00:28:44.199 --> 00:28:45.119
 that

00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:45.459
 delivered

00:28:45.459 --> 00:28:45.779
 you

00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:46.220
 and I

00:28:46.220 --> 00:28:46.459
 need

00:28:46.459 --> 00:28:46.559
 you

00:28:51.339 --> 00:28:51.779
 to

00:28:51.779 --> 00:28:52.339
 have

00:28:52.339 --> 00:28:54.079
 an

00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:54.759
 army

00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:54.919
 of

00:28:54.919 --> 00:28:55.199
 tens

00:28:55.199 --> 00:28:55.379
 of

00:28:55.379 --> 00:28:55.699
 thousands

00:28:55.699 --> 00:28:55.899
 of

00:28:55.899 --> 00:28:56.139
 people

00:28:56.139 --> 00:28:56.619
 he's

00:28:56.619 --> 00:28:56.779
 left

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:56.919
 with

00:28:56.919 --> 00:28:57.319
 300

00:28:57.319 --> 00:28:57.879
 guys

00:28:57.879 --> 00:29:00.679
 and

00:29:00.679 --> 00:29:00.939
 the

00:29:00.939 --> 00:29:01.199
 thorn

00:29:01.199 --> 00:29:01.299
 of

00:29:01.299 --> 00:29:01.419
 the

00:29:01.419 --> 00:29:01.839
 flesh

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.220
 is

00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:02.379
 that

00:29:02.379 --> 00:29:02.579
 there's

00:29:02.579 --> 00:29:02.699
 going

00:29:02.699 --> 00:29:02.779
 to

00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:02.899
 be

00:29:02.899 --> 00:29:03.299
 times

00:29:03.299 --> 00:29:03.439
 in

00:29:03.439 --> 00:29:03.579
 our

00:29:03.579 --> 00:29:03.919
 Christian

00:29:03.919 --> 00:29:04.359
 life

00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:04.980
 where

00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:05.299
 what

00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:05.559
 God

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:05.859
 really

00:29:05.859 --> 00:29:06.220
 wants

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:06.379
 us

00:29:06.379 --> 00:29:06.519
 to

00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:06.679
 do

00:29:06.679 --> 00:29:06.819
 is

00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:06.959
 to

00:29:06.959 --> 00:29:07.179
 step

00:29:07.179 --> 00:29:07.339
 out

00:29:07.339 --> 00:29:07.480
 in

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:07.799
 faith

00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:08.639
 and

00:29:08.639 --> 00:29:08.779
 then

00:29:08.779 --> 00:29:09.319
 afterwards

00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:09.699
 whether

00:29:09.699 --> 00:29:10.019
 we're

00:29:10.019 --> 00:29:10.299
 aware

00:29:10.299 --> 00:29:10.439
 of

00:29:10.439 --> 00:29:10.539
 it

00:29:10.539 --> 00:29:10.639
 or

00:29:10.639 --> 00:29:10.939
 not

00:29:10.939 --> 00:29:11.199
 but

00:29:11.199 --> 00:29:11.439
 we

00:29:11.439 --> 00:29:11.699
 should

00:29:11.699 --> 00:29:12.059
 be

00:29:12.059 --> 00:29:13.019
 people

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:13.220
 will

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:13.459
 have

00:29:13.459 --> 00:29:13.619
 to

00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:13.799
 say

00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:14.099
 only

00:29:14.099 --> 00:29:14.459
 God

00:29:14.459 --> 00:29:14.679
 could

00:29:14.679 --> 00:29:14.839
 do

00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:15.179
 that

00:29:15.179 --> 00:29:15.959
 because

00:29:15.959 --> 00:29:17.079
 George

00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:18.579
 if

00:29:18.579 --> 00:29:18.679
 you

00:29:18.679 --> 00:29:18.939
 looked

00:29:18.939 --> 00:29:19.099
 at

00:29:19.099 --> 00:29:19.419
 you

00:29:19.419 --> 00:29:19.939
 and

00:29:19.939 --> 00:29:20.079
 your

00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:20.419
 church

00:29:20.419 --> 00:29:20.659
 there's

00:29:20.659 --> 00:29:20.839
 no

00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:21.019
 way

00:29:21.019 --> 00:29:21.179
 you

00:29:21.179 --> 00:29:21.379
 guys

00:29:21.379 --> 00:29:21.559
 could

00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:21.720
 do

00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:21.960
 that

00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:23.759
 and

00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:23.899
 that

00:29:23.899 --> 00:29:24.079
 should

00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:24.319
 warm

00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:24.500
 our

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:24.819
 heart

00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:27.220
 and

00:29:27.220 --> 00:29:27.480
 the

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:27.679
 other

00:29:27.679 --> 00:29:28.059
 sense

00:29:28.059 --> 00:29:28.240

 we've

00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:29.339
 talked

00:29:29.339 --> 00:29:29.539
 about

 a little

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:30.019
 bit

00:29:30.019 --> 00:29:30.359
 up

00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:30.619
 until

00:29:30.619 --> 00:29:30.980
 now

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:31.339
 was

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:31.699
 just

00:29:31.699 --> 00:29:31.939
 the

00:29:31.939 --> 00:29:32.799
 constant

00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:33.379
 reminder

00:29:34.139 --> 00:29:34.220
 the

00:29:34.220 --> 00:29:34.539
 day

00:29:34.539 --> 00:29:35.500
 our

00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:36.460
 God

00:29:36.460 --> 00:29:37.000
 project

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.379
 is

00:29:37.379 --> 00:29:37.539
 a

00:29:37.539 --> 00:29:37.919
 complete

00:29:37.919 --> 00:29:38.079

 utter

00:29:38.259 --> 00:29:38.859
 vain

00:29:38.859 --> 00:29:39.059
 and

00:29:39.059 --> 00:29:39.720
 futile

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:40.199
 thing

00:29:40.199 --> 00:29:40.500
 and

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:40.639
 that

00:29:40.639 --> 00:29:40.779
 we

00:29:40.779 --> 00:29:40.939
 are

00:29:40.939 --> 00:29:41.179
 called

00:29:41.179 --> 00:29:41.399
 just

00:29:41.399 --> 00:29:41.559
 to

00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:41.839
 remember

00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:42.059
 that

00:29:42.059 --> 00:29:42.259
 we're

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:42.599
 jars

00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:42.819
 of

00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:43.039
 clay

00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:43.219
 that

00:29:43.219 --> 00:29:43.379
 we're

00:29:43.379 --> 00:29:43.740

00:29:44.859 --> 00:29:44.959
 we're

00:29:44.959 --> 00:29:45.159
 not

00:29:45.159 --> 00:29:45.539
 God

00:29:45.539 --> 00:29:47.399
 and

00:29:47.399 --> 00:29:47.599
 that's

00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:47.719
 the

00:29:47.719 --> 00:29:47.980
 second

00:29:47.980 --> 00:29:48.240

00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:48.559
 weakness

00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:48.759
 but

00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:48.959
 the

00:29:48.959 --> 00:29:49.240
 third

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:49.559
 type

00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:49.719
 of

00:29:49.719 --> 00:29:50.059
 weakness

00:29:50.059 --> 00:29:50.459
 is

00:29:50.459 --> 00:29:50.740
 what

00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:51.219
 we

00:29:51.219 --> 00:29:51.399
 need

00:29:51.399 --> 00:29:51.559
 to

00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:51.740
 look

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:51.919
 at

00:29:51.919 --> 00:29:52.139
 right

00:29:52.139 --> 00:29:52.500
 now

00:29:52.500 --> 00:29:53.339
 it's

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:53.480
 the

00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:53.699
 type

00:29:53.699 --> 00:29:53.859
 of

00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:54.179
 weakness

00:29:54.179 --> 00:29:54.959
 that's

00:29:54.959 --> 00:29:55.219
 been

00:29:55.219 --> 00:29:56.559
 hinted

00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:56.879
 around

00:29:56.879 --> 00:29:57.079
 but

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.339
 maybe

00:29:57.339 --> 00:29:57.659
 never

00:29:57.659 --> 00:29:58.079
 always

00:29:58.079 --> 00:29:58.379
 been

00:29:58.379 --> 00:29:58.980
 especially

00:29:58.980 --> 00:29:59.500
 clear

00:29:59.500 --> 00:30:00.379
 and

00:30:00.379 --> 00:30:00.480
 I'm

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:00.539

00:30:01.059 --> 00:30:01.339

00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:46.420
 not

00:34:46.420 --> 00:34:46.900
 benefiting

00:34:46.900 --> 00:34:47.300
 us

00:34:47.300 --> 00:34:47.880
 it's

00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:48.119
 making

00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:48.360
 us

00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:48.699
 weak

00:34:52.019 --> 00:34:52.400
 which is

00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:52.559
 so

00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:52.820
 very

00:34:52.820 --> 00:34:53.199
 hard

00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:53.500
 for us

00:34:53.500 --> 00:34:53.679
 to

00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:54.360
 understand

00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:55.539
 is

00:34:55.539 --> 00:34:55.920
 that

00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:56.900
 as

00:34:56.900 --> 00:34:57.440
 we're

00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:57.800
 gripped

00:34:57.800 --> 00:34:58.000
 by

 the

 gospel

00:34:58.620 --> 00:34:58.860
 we

00:35:00.260 --> 00:35:00.640
 realize

00:35:00.640 --> 00:35:00.860
 that

00:35:00.860 --> 00:35:00.980
 if

00:35:00.980 --> 00:35:01.120
 we're

00:35:01.120 --> 00:35:01.220
 going

 we're

 deal

00:35:04.700 --> 00:35:04.980
 with

 our

 we're

 different

00:35:08.620 --> 00:35:08.980
 ways

00:35:09.180 --> 00:35:09.420
 money

00:35:09.420 --> 00:35:09.800
 bends

00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:09.980
 us

00:35:09.980 --> 00:35:10.120
 out

00:35:10.120 --> 00:35:10.260
 of

00:35:10.260 --> 00:35:10.660
 shape

00:35:10.660 --> 00:35:11.500
 that

00:35:11.500 --> 00:35:11.720
 as

00:35:11.720 --> 00:35:11.900
 the

00:35:11.900 --> 00:35:12.340
 gospel

00:35:12.340 --> 00:35:12.840
 grabs

00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:13.640
 us

00:35:13.640 --> 00:35:13.780
 as

00:35:13.780 --> 00:35:13.920
 we

00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:14.579
 understand

00:35:14.579 --> 00:35:14.900
 that

00:35:14.900 --> 00:35:15.400
 the

00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:16.000
 foolishness

00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:16.180
 of

00:35:16.180 --> 00:35:16.460
 God

00:35:16.460 --> 00:35:16.620
 is

00:35:16.619 --> 00:35:17.079
 wiser

00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:17.359
 than

00:35:17.359 --> 00:35:17.739
 human

00:35:17.739 --> 00:35:18.099
 wisdom

00:35:18.099 --> 00:35:18.319
 and

00:35:18.319 --> 00:35:18.480
 that

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:18.699
 the

00:35:18.699 --> 00:35:19.039
 weakness

00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:19.279
 of

00:35:19.279 --> 00:35:19.519
 God

00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:19.699
 is

00:35:19.699 --> 00:35:20.079
 stronger

00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:20.319
 than

00:35:20.319 --> 00:35:20.639
 human

00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:21.159
 strength

00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:21.779
 and

00:35:21.779 --> 00:35:21.920
 as

00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:22.099
 that

00:35:22.099 --> 00:35:22.480
 grips

00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:22.719
 us

00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:23.079
 as it

00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:23.480
 shapes

00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:23.819
 the way

00:35:23.819 --> 00:35:24.219
 we see

00:35:24.219 --> 00:35:24.719
 the world

00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:25.079
 as it

00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:25.380
 grips

00:35:25.380 --> 00:35:25.679
 the way

00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:25.940
 that we

00:35:25.940 --> 00:35:26.159
 see

00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:26.779
 ourselves

00:35:26.779 --> 00:35:27.440
 then

00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:27.759
 the

00:35:27.759 --> 00:35:28.079
 biblical

00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:28.619
 teaching

00:35:28.619 --> 00:35:28.920
 that

00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:29.179
 we are

00:35:29.179 --> 00:35:29.319
 to

00:35:29.319 --> 00:35:29.719
 give away

00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:30.319
 10%

00:35:30.319 --> 00:35:30.639
 of our

00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:30.900
 money

00:35:30.900 --> 00:35:31.279
 for the

00:35:31.279 --> 00:35:31.739
 furtherance

00:35:31.739 --> 00:35:32.000
 of the

00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:33.619
 gospel

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:34.519
 that always

00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:35.019
 makes us

00:35:35.019 --> 00:35:35.319
 weaker

00:35:35.319 --> 00:35:35.839
 doesn't it

00:35:35.839 --> 00:35:38.039
 now I

00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:39.019
 can add

00:35:39.019 --> 00:35:39.359
 that in the

00:35:39.359 --> 00:35:39.799
 eyes of the

00:35:39.799 --> 00:35:40.139
 world it

00:35:40.139 --> 00:35:40.559
 makes us

00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:40.880
 weaker

00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:41.599
 and I

00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:42.299
 earlier

00:35:42.299 --> 00:35:42.819
 told you

00:35:42.819 --> 00:35:43.079
 of a

00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:43.319
 story

00:35:43.319 --> 00:35:43.920
 where God

00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:45.220
 miraculously

00:35:45.220 --> 00:35:45.680
 helped

00:35:45.680 --> 00:35:46.059
 Louise

00:35:46.059 --> 00:35:46.480
 and me

00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:48.220
 and I

00:35:48.220 --> 00:35:48.559
 could tell

00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:48.860
 you other

00:35:48.860 --> 00:35:49.380
 stories

00:35:49.380 --> 00:35:49.860
 but the

00:35:49.860 --> 00:35:50.220
 biblical

00:35:50.220 --> 00:35:50.760
 teaching

00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:51.200
 doesn't

00:35:51.200 --> 00:35:51.400
 say

00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:51.659
 give

00:35:51.659 --> 00:35:52.019
 money

00:35:52.019 --> 00:35:53.920
 so I'll

00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:54.360
 give you

00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:55.320
 10 times

00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:55.880
 more money

00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:56.400
 that's not

00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:56.659
 what the

00:35:56.659 --> 00:35:56.980
 Bible

00:35:56.980 --> 00:35:57.500
 says

00:35:57.500 --> 00:35:59.940
 it says

00:35:59.940 --> 00:36:00.320
 you know

00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:00.760
 the grace

00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:01.039
 of our

00:36:01.940 --> 00:36:02.340
 that though

00:36:02.340 --> 00:36:02.680
 he was

00:36:02.680 --> 00:36:02.940
 rich

00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:03.300
 yet for

00:36:03.300 --> 00:36:03.579
 your

00:36:03.579 --> 00:36:03.820
 sake

00:36:04.340 --> 00:36:04.760
 poor

00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:05.200
 so that

 you

00:36:05.500 --> 00:36:06.380
 through

 his

00:36:06.659 --> 00:36:07.200
 poverty

00:36:07.200 --> 00:36:07.519
 might

00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:07.940
 become

00:36:07.940 --> 00:36:08.440
 rich

00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:10.440
 and as

 us

00:36:12.680 --> 00:36:13.139
 and pulls

00:36:13.139 --> 00:36:13.340
 us

00:36:13.340 --> 00:36:13.840
 and draws

00:36:15.780 --> 00:36:16.380
 where

00:36:16.380 --> 00:36:16.519
 we

00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:16.880
 realize

00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:17.180
 you know

 you

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:21.740
 give

 10%

00:36:23.160 --> 00:36:23.340
 you

00:36:23.340 --> 00:36:23.460
 will

00:36:23.460 --> 00:36:23.680
 not

 weakness

00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:26.960
 anyway

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:31.760
 what about

 power

00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:34.920
 Andrew the

00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:35.460
 next point

00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:36.660
 it is

00:36:36.660 --> 00:36:37.079
 weak to

00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:37.400
 trust

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:37.559
 and

 obey

00:36:37.900 --> 00:36:38.740
 what

 about

00:36:39.660 --> 00:36:40.140
 power

00:36:40.140 --> 00:36:41.940
 look at

 I'm

00:36:58.539 --> 00:36:58.760

 it's

00:37:01.579 --> 00:37:01.720
 not

00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:35.160
 that

00:37:35.160 --> 00:37:35.400
 God

00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:35.780
 sends

00:37:35.780 --> 00:37:36.160
 us

00:37:36.160 --> 00:37:37.560
 any

00:37:37.560 --> 00:37:38.000
 person

00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:38.140
 that

00:37:38.140 --> 00:37:38.260
 we

00:37:38.260 --> 00:37:38.460
 can

00:37:38.460 --> 00:37:38.840
 mentor

00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:39.120
 that

00:37:39.120 --> 00:37:39.620
 they

00:37:39.620 --> 00:37:39.820
 will

00:37:39.820 --> 00:37:40.019
 be

00:37:40.019 --> 00:37:40.620
 vastly

00:37:40.620 --> 00:37:41.019
 better

00:37:41.019 --> 00:37:41.560
 Christians

00:37:41.560 --> 00:37:41.960
 and

00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:42.400
 vastly

00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:42.720
 better

00:37:42.720 --> 00:37:43.220
 pastors

00:37:43.220 --> 00:37:43.620
 and

00:37:43.620 --> 00:37:44.380
 vastly

00:37:44.380 --> 00:37:44.660
 better

00:37:44.660 --> 00:37:45.100
 speakers

00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:50.039
 that's

00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:50.180
 not

00:37:50.180 --> 00:37:50.360
 how

00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:50.940
 power

00:37:50.940 --> 00:37:51.460
 works

00:37:51.460 --> 00:37:51.660
 is

00:37:51.660 --> 00:37:51.920
 it

00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:53.039
 but

00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:53.480
 look

00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:53.600
 how

00:37:53.600 --> 00:37:53.700
 it

00:37:53.700 --> 00:37:53.860
 even

00:37:53.860 --> 00:37:54.060
 gets

00:37:54.060 --> 00:37:54.440
 better

00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:54.740
 or

00:37:54.740 --> 00:37:55.080
 worse

00:37:55.080 --> 00:37:55.360
 depending

00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:55.480
 on

00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:55.600
 your

00:37:55.600 --> 00:37:55.860
 point

00:37:55.860 --> 00:37:56.000
 of

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.140
 view

00:37:56.140 --> 00:37:56.320
 for

00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:56.460
 I

00:37:56.460 --> 00:37:56.720
 fear

00:37:56.720 --> 00:37:56.900
 that

00:37:56.900 --> 00:37:57.039
 I

00:37:57.039 --> 00:37:57.420
 perhaps

00:37:57.420 --> 00:37:58.320
 when I

00:37:58.320 --> 00:37:58.600
 come

00:37:58.600 --> 00:37:58.780
 may

00:37:58.780 --> 00:37:59.080
 find

00:37:59.080 --> 00:37:59.240
 you

00:37:59.240 --> 00:37:59.400
 not

00:37:59.400 --> 00:37:59.539
 as

00:37:59.539 --> 00:37:59.660
 I

00:37:59.660 --> 00:37:59.900
 wish

00:37:59.900 --> 00:38:00.400
 that

00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:00.519
 you

00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:00.740
 might

00:38:00.740 --> 00:38:01.300
 find

00:38:01.300 --> 00:38:01.480
 me

00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:01.700
 not

00:38:01.700 --> 00:38:01.880
 as

00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:02.039
 you

00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:02.240
 wish

00:38:02.240 --> 00:38:02.380
 that

00:38:02.380 --> 00:38:02.680
 perhaps

00:38:02.680 --> 00:38:02.840
 there

00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:02.960
 may

00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:03.120
 be

00:38:03.120 --> 00:38:03.620
 quarreling

00:38:03.620 --> 00:38:04.060
 jealousy

00:38:04.060 --> 00:38:04.539
 anger

00:38:04.539 --> 00:38:05.100
 hostility

00:38:05.100 --> 00:38:05.539
 slander

00:38:05.539 --> 00:38:05.980
 gossip

00:38:05.980 --> 00:38:06.420
 conceit

00:38:06.420 --> 00:38:06.539
 and

00:38:06.539 --> 00:38:06.940
 disorder

00:38:06.940 --> 00:38:07.600
 I

00:38:07.600 --> 00:38:07.840
 fear

00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:07.980
 that

00:38:07.980 --> 00:38:08.120
 when

00:38:08.120 --> 00:38:08.260
 I

00:38:08.260 --> 00:38:08.539
 come

00:38:08.539 --> 00:38:08.920
 again

00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:09.160
 my

00:38:09.160 --> 00:38:09.660
 God

00:38:09.660 --> 00:38:09.880
 may

00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:10.220
 humble

00:38:10.219 --> 00:38:10.419
 me

00:38:10.419 --> 00:38:10.799
 before

00:38:10.799 --> 00:38:11.039
 you

00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:11.159
 and

00:38:11.159 --> 00:38:11.299
 I

00:38:11.299 --> 00:38:11.459
 may

00:38:11.459 --> 00:38:11.659
 have

00:38:11.659 --> 00:38:11.859
 to

00:38:11.859 --> 00:38:12.259
 mourn

00:38:12.259 --> 00:38:12.539
 over

00:38:12.539 --> 00:38:12.879
 many

00:38:12.879 --> 00:38:13.079
 of

00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:13.419
 those

00:38:13.419 --> 00:38:14.119
 who

00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:14.259
 have

00:38:14.259 --> 00:38:14.519
 sinned

00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:14.919
 earlier

00:38:14.919 --> 00:38:15.179
 and

00:38:15.179 --> 00:38:15.299
 have

00:38:15.299 --> 00:38:15.500
 not

00:38:15.500 --> 00:38:15.980
 repented

00:38:15.980 --> 00:38:16.279
 of the

00:38:16.279 --> 00:38:16.779
 impurity

00:38:16.779 --> 00:38:17.279
 sexual

00:38:17.279 --> 00:38:17.799
 immorality

00:38:17.799 --> 00:38:18.000
 and

00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:18.619
 sensuality

00:38:18.619 --> 00:38:18.859
 that they

00:38:18.859 --> 00:38:18.980
 have

00:38:18.980 --> 00:38:19.379
 practiced

00:38:19.379 --> 00:38:20.179
 so here's

00:38:20.179 --> 00:38:20.500
 the thing

00:38:20.500 --> 00:38:21.819
 there's

00:38:21.819 --> 00:38:22.239
 all this

00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:22.719
 disorder

00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:23.179
 going on

00:38:23.179 --> 00:38:23.439
 in the

00:38:23.439 --> 00:38:23.779
 church

00:38:23.779 --> 00:38:24.839
 there's

00:38:24.839 --> 00:38:25.199
 a type

00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:25.379
 of

00:38:25.379 --> 00:38:25.779
 evil

00:38:25.779 --> 00:38:26.219
 order

00:38:26.219 --> 00:38:26.539
 that's

00:38:26.539 --> 00:38:26.719
 starting

00:38:26.719 --> 00:38:26.879
 to

00:38:26.879 --> 00:38:27.139
 take

00:38:27.139 --> 00:38:27.399
 over

00:38:27.399 --> 00:38:27.619
 the

00:38:27.619 --> 00:38:28.059
 church

00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:29.000
 and

00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:29.480
 Paul

00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:30.039
 is

00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:30.279

00:38:30.579 --> 00:38:31.059
 partially

00:38:31.059 --> 00:38:31.480
 because

00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:31.699
 the

00:38:31.699 --> 00:38:31.939
 type

00:38:31.939 --> 00:38:32.119
 of

00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:32.579
 evil

00:38:32.579 --> 00:38:33.059
 order

00:38:33.059 --> 00:38:33.519
 that

00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:33.719
 is

00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:34.139
 bending

00:38:34.139 --> 00:38:34.359
 the

00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:34.660

00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:35.320
 shape

00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:35.480

00:38:35.620 --> 00:38:35.940
 hurting

 people

 be

00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:01.880
 translated

00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:02.340
 as

 that

 what's

00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:37.899
 very

00:40:37.899 --> 00:40:38.299
 briefly

00:40:38.299 --> 00:40:40.000
 next

 Andrew

00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:40.579
 it

00:40:40.579 --> 00:40:40.679
 is

00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:40.940
 weak

00:40:40.940 --> 00:40:41.339
 to

 trust

00:40:41.699 --> 00:40:41.839
 and

00:40:41.839 --> 00:40:42.059
 obey

00:40:42.059 --> 00:40:42.239
 what

00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:42.379
 the

00:40:42.379 --> 00:40:42.599
 Bible

00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:42.899
 says

00:40:42.899 --> 00:40:43.199
 about

00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:44.119
 sexuality

00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:44.559
 and

00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:45.019
 sex

00:40:45.019 --> 00:40:46.460
 this

00:40:46.460 --> 00:40:46.599
 is

00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:46.739
 a

00:40:46.739 --> 00:40:46.940
 real

00:40:46.940 --> 00:40:47.219

00:40:47.219 --> 00:40:47.379
 this

00:40:47.379 --> 00:40:47.559
 might

00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:47.719
 be

00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:49.319
 this

00:40:49.319 --> 00:40:49.480
 is

00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:49.719
 probably

00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:49.899
 the

00:40:49.899 --> 00:40:50.099
 bigger

00:40:55.139 --> 00:40:55.359
 he's

00:40:55.359 --> 00:40:55.500
 having

00:40:55.500 --> 00:40:55.619
 to

00:40:55.619 --> 00:40:55.759

00:40:55.759 --> 00:40:55.960
 with

00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:56.199
 is

00:40:56.199 --> 00:40:56.960
 I

00:40:56.960 --> 00:40:57.119
 may

00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:57.299
 have

00:40:57.299 --> 00:40:57.480
 to

00:40:57.480 --> 00:40:57.839
 mourn

00:40:57.839 --> 00:40:58.079
 over

00:40:58.079 --> 00:40:58.359
 many

00:40:58.359 --> 00:40:58.539
 of

00:40:58.539 --> 00:40:58.799
 those

00:40:58.799 --> 00:40:59.000
 who

00:40:59.000 --> 00:40:59.139
 have

00:40:59.139 --> 00:40:59.699
 sinned

00:40:59.699 --> 00:40:59.940
 who

00:40:59.940 --> 00:41:00.379
 sinned

00:41:00.379 --> 00:41:00.679
 earlier

00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:00.980
 and

00:41:00.980 --> 00:41:01.099
 have

00:41:01.099 --> 00:41:01.280
 not

00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:01.719
 repented

00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:01.900
 of

00:41:01.900 --> 00:41:02.039
 the

00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:02.539
 impurity

00:41:02.539 --> 00:41:03.079
 sexual

00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:03.679
 immorality

00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:03.940
 and

00:41:03.940 --> 00:41:04.579
 sensuality

00:41:04.579 --> 00:41:04.719
 that

00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:04.840
 they

00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:04.980
 have

00:41:04.980 --> 00:41:05.559
 practiced

00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:10.440
 impurity

00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:10.820
 here

00:41:10.820 --> 00:41:11.420
 means

00:41:11.420 --> 00:41:14.460
 basically

00:41:14.460 --> 00:41:15.579
 sexualizing

00:41:15.579 --> 00:41:16.679
 relationships

00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:18.579
 I know

00:41:18.579 --> 00:41:18.860
 it's hard

00:41:18.860 --> 00:41:19.099
 for us

00:41:19.099 --> 00:41:19.559
 to imagine

00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:19.940
 because

00:41:19.940 --> 00:41:20.159
 you know

00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:20.659
 advertising

00:41:20.659 --> 00:41:21.079
 isn't

00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:22.019
 sexualized

00:41:22.019 --> 00:41:22.360
 and

00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:22.639
 we

00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:22.780
 don't

00:41:22.780 --> 00:41:22.940
 want

00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:23.059
 to

00:41:23.059 --> 00:41:23.659
 sexualize

00:41:23.659 --> 00:41:24.079
 children

00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:24.340
 in

00:41:24.340 --> 00:41:24.820
 schools

00:41:24.820 --> 00:41:25.340
 but

00:41:25.340 --> 00:41:26.619
 it's

00:41:26.619 --> 00:41:27.300
 sexualizing

00:41:27.300 --> 00:41:27.820
 everything

00:41:27.820 --> 00:41:28.240
 that's

00:41:28.240 --> 00:41:28.440
 in a

00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:28.619
 sense

00:41:28.619 --> 00:41:28.780
 what

00:41:28.780 --> 00:41:29.199
 impurity

00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:29.719
 means

00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:30.740
 and

00:41:30.739 --> 00:41:31.899
 sensuality

00:41:31.899 --> 00:41:32.099
 could

00:41:32.099 --> 00:41:32.399
 also

00:41:32.399 --> 00:41:32.759
 just

 themselves

00:42:43.500 --> 00:42:43.759
 as

00:45:13.260 --> 00:45:13.639
 guilty

00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:14.180
 because

 you know

00:45:14.780 --> 00:45:15.059
 maybe

 you've

00:45:17.200 --> 00:45:17.320
 done

00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:17.480
 it

00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:17.700

 you've

00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:19.820
 lived

00:45:19.820 --> 00:45:20.000

00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:21.220
 text

00:45:21.220 --> 00:45:21.500
 isn't

00:45:21.500 --> 00:45:21.700
 just

 saying

00:45:22.380 --> 00:45:22.700
 these

00:45:22.700 --> 00:45:23.019
 things

00:45:23.019 --> 00:45:23.340
 because

00:45:23.340 --> 00:45:23.539
 it

00:45:23.539 --> 00:45:23.800
 wants

00:45:32.319 --> 00:45:33.539
 and

00:45:33.539 --> 00:45:33.819
 how

00:45:33.819 --> 00:45:34.039
 that

00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:34.239
 when

00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:34.379
 you

00:45:34.379 --> 00:45:34.819
 come

00:45:34.819 --> 00:45:34.980
 and

 you've

00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:35.619
 received

 has

00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:36.379
 done

00:45:36.379 --> 00:45:36.480
 on

00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:36.599
 the

00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:36.980
 cross

00:45:36.980 --> 00:45:37.399
 because

00:45:37.399 --> 00:45:37.899
 though

00:45:37.899 --> 00:45:38.099
 he

00:45:38.099 --> 00:45:38.299
 was

00:45:38.299 --> 00:45:38.579
 rich

00:45:38.579 --> 00:45:38.759
 yet

00:45:38.759 --> 00:45:38.939
 for

00:45:38.939 --> 00:45:39.199
 your

00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:39.480

00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:39.619
 he

00:45:39.619 --> 00:45:40.000
 became

00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:40.399
 poor

00:45:40.399 --> 00:45:40.619
 so

00:45:40.619 --> 00:45:40.799
 that

 you

00:45:40.980 --> 00:45:41.219
 by

00:45:41.219 --> 00:45:41.459
 his

00:45:41.459 --> 00:45:41.899
 poverty

00:45:41.899 --> 00:45:42.179
 might

00:45:42.179 --> 00:45:42.559
 become

00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:43.039
 rich

00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:45.299
 and

00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:49.379
 and

00:45:49.379 --> 00:45:49.500
 that

00:45:49.500 --> 00:45:49.619
 is

00:45:49.619 --> 00:45:49.779
 what

00:45:49.779 --> 00:45:49.919
 he

00:45:49.919 --> 00:45:50.059
 has

00:45:50.059 --> 00:45:50.299

 for

00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:50.719
 you

00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:51.779
 and

00:45:51.779 --> 00:45:51.919
 that

00:45:51.919 --> 00:45:52.059
 he

00:45:52.059 --> 00:45:52.319
 really

00:45:52.319 --> 00:45:52.839
 exists

00:45:52.839 --> 00:45:53.019
 and

00:45:53.019 --> 00:45:53.139
 then

00:45:53.139 --> 00:45:53.259
 you

00:45:53.259 --> 00:45:53.519
 start

00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:01.959
 stronger

00:46:01.959 --> 00:46:02.179
 than

 the

00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:22.980
 last

00:46:22.980 --> 00:46:23.259
 ones

00:46:23.259 --> 00:46:23.539
 I've

00:46:23.539 --> 00:46:23.939
 gone

00:46:23.939 --> 00:46:24.079
 a

00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:24.179
 little

00:46:24.179 --> 00:46:24.399
 bit

00:46:24.399 --> 00:46:24.699
 long

00:46:24.699 --> 00:46:26.000
 Andrew

00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:26.239
 if you

00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:26.379
 could

00:46:26.379 --> 00:46:26.579
 put it

00:46:26.579 --> 00:46:26.799
 up

00:46:26.799 --> 00:46:27.759
 it

00:46:27.759 --> 00:46:27.899
 is

00:46:27.899 --> 00:46:28.139
 weak

00:46:28.139 --> 00:46:28.339
 to

00:46:28.339 --> 00:46:28.679
 trust

00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:28.859
 and

00:46:28.859 --> 00:46:29.139
 obey

00:46:29.139 --> 00:46:29.579
 what

00:46:29.579 --> 00:46:29.699
 the

00:46:29.699 --> 00:46:29.939
 Bible

00:46:29.939 --> 00:46:30.219
 says

00:46:30.219 --> 00:46:30.439
 about

00:46:30.439 --> 00:46:30.619
 the

00:46:30.619 --> 00:46:31.039
 gospel

00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:32.820
 just

00:46:32.820 --> 00:46:33.380
 bear

00:46:33.380 --> 00:46:33.659
 with

00:46:33.659 --> 00:46:33.940
 me

00:46:33.940 --> 00:46:35.119
 I've

00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:35.279
 used

00:46:35.279 --> 00:46:35.500
 this

00:46:35.500 --> 00:46:35.920
 analogy

00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:36.480
 before

00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:37.579
 I mean

00:46:37.579 --> 00:46:37.860
 what is

00:46:37.860 --> 00:46:38.019
 the

00:46:38.019 --> 00:46:38.460
 gospel

00:46:38.460 --> 00:46:39.039
 how do

00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:39.159
 we

00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:39.480
 receive

00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:39.659
 the

00:46:39.659 --> 00:46:40.019
 gospel

00:46:40.019 --> 00:46:40.320
 by

00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:40.679
 faith

00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:40.820
 it

00:46:40.820 --> 00:46:40.940
 is

00:46:40.940 --> 00:46:41.059
 an

00:46:41.059 --> 00:46:41.320
 act

00:46:41.320 --> 00:46:41.480
 of

00:46:41.480 --> 00:46:41.960
 surrender

00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:43.000
 if

00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:43.139
 you

00:46:43.139 --> 00:46:43.360
 view
