00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.280
 Do you have anyone in your life right now who you would say is spiritually floundering?

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:12.640
 Maybe someone who, if you were to be asked, you know, is that person a born-again Christian,

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:22.039
 a true disciple of Jesus, you might have some hesitancy. Maybe not sure. Somebody who maybe

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:29.320
 at one time professed faith in Christ, but now, today, spiritually, they just don't seem to be

00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:36.579
 doing very well. Maybe at times you've wondered what you might do or say to that person to help

00:00:36.579 --> 00:00:42.200
 them or to encourage them. Or maybe you've had some long talks with them already about some of

00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:46.859
 the struggles that they're going through, and maybe it even seemed to help for a time, but now

00:00:46.859 --> 00:00:53.700
 they're back to struggling. Well, this morning we're going to hear from Jesus what he said to people who

00:00:53.700 --> 00:01:01.540
 are in a similar kind of situation. We're going to hear from Jesus what marks a true disciple of his,

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:09.719
 and we're going to talk about how we might think about people in that spot and how we can help those

00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:15.740
 who are spiritually floundering. So if you have your Bible with you, please open it up to John 8,

00:01:15.739 --> 00:01:24.439
 verse 31. John chapter 8, verse 31. And it's been a couple weeks since we were here in John,

00:01:24.539 --> 00:01:30.399
 so let's just take a moment to remember what's happening here in the story. Jesus is in Jerusalem.

00:01:31.099 --> 00:01:38.079
 He's been there for the week-long festival. Many people have been there. He's teaching in the temple

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.840
 courts, and there's been some large crowds gathered listening to him. At one point, you may recall,

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:51.640
 if you were here, that some of the Jewish leaders sent the temple guards and officers to go arrest Jesus.

00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:58.640
 And after hearing Jesus speak, the guards decided, well, I don't think we should.

00:01:59.800 --> 00:02:05.159
 And then the Pharisees finally came and challenged Jesus openly and directly.

00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:12.780
 Jesus has been speaking now to the Pharisees, as well as to the people, the crowd that's gathered there

00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:18.599
 in the temple courts. And last we heard was in verse 21 of the same chapter.

00:02:19.939 --> 00:02:26.280
 Jesus said to them, I'm going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin.

00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:34.520
 The people were wondering, where are you going? What place is he talking about? Will he kill himself?

00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:46.740
 Jesus said, you are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

00:02:48.140 --> 00:02:54.800
 If you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.

00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.620
 Who are you? They asked.

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:01.900
 Just what I've been telling you from the beginning, said Jesus.

00:03:02.780 --> 00:03:07.620
 So Jesus is passionately pleading with the people to believe in him.

00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.060
 This is their opportunity.

00:03:09.980 --> 00:03:13.480
 He is the one sent from God so that they might be saved,

00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:19.180
 so that the problem of their sins might be dealt with and their guilt taken away.

00:03:19.180 --> 00:03:21.520
 This is their chance.

00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:23.180
 And he's pleading with them.

00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:27.780
 And we read down in verse 30.

00:03:30.020 --> 00:03:34.819
 Even as he spoke, many believed in him.

00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:43.879
 Sounds good for those of us who love Jesus and believe in him.

00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:50.419
 We're thinking, yes, finally, some are believing in him.

00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:52.039
 We're ready to celebrate.

00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:54.620
 But hold on.

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.180
 Jesus has something more to say to those who believed in him that day,

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.400
 which might give us reason to postpone the celebration,

00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:09.800
 or perhaps even to call it off altogether, at least for now.

00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.280
 Let's read verses 31 to 32.

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:18.800
 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said,

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:24.860
 If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.

00:04:26.019 --> 00:04:31.339
 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.980
 So John makes it crystal clear that right now Jesus is speaking

00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:40.519
 not to the Pharisees who are trying to take him out.

00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.899
 He's speaking to those who had believed in him,

00:04:43.979 --> 00:04:46.079
 to the Jews who had believed in him.

00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:47.659
 Jesus said,

00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:53.279
 and we might expect Jesus to say something like,

00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.859
 Those of you who believe in me,

00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.060
 yes, good,

00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.839
 you have now become my disciples.

00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:05.439
 You will now receive all that I've promised,

00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:06.719
 eternal life.

00:05:06.719 --> 00:05:09.099
 I will raise you up at the last day.

00:05:10.299 --> 00:05:13.199
 But Jesus seems to go in the opposite direction.

00:05:14.159 --> 00:05:19.179
 Rather than congratulating them or celebrating them for believing,

00:05:19.180 --> 00:05:20.819
 he says this,

00:05:20.900 --> 00:05:21.360
 he says,

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.519
 if you hold to my teaching,

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.199
 you are really my disciples.

00:05:28.860 --> 00:05:31.939
 And then you will know the truth,

00:05:32.259 --> 00:05:35.120
 and the truth will set you free.

00:05:36.460 --> 00:05:38.920
 Jesus seems to speak to these people,

00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:40.960
 who have believed,

00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.839
 as though they're not in yet,

00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.639
 as though there's something missing,

00:05:47.339 --> 00:05:50.379
 which should cause them to wonder,

00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:51.359
 and us to wonder,

00:05:51.459 --> 00:05:55.319
 if they have really believed in Jesus,

00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.479
 or perhaps only believed in a shallow or superficial way.

00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:05.100
 So as we listen closely in these verses,

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:06.319
 and the verses that follow,

00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:08.120
 there are plenty of clues given to us,

00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:14.400
 which suggest that these believers believe in some sense,

00:06:15.020 --> 00:06:18.319
 yet they are not true disciples,

00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:19.980
 not true believers.

00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.480
 We get a couple clues in these verses,

00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:25.060
 at least three,

00:06:25.180 --> 00:06:26.220
 just in these two verses.

00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:27.939
 First of all,

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.460
 Jesus tells them that if they are truly his disciples,

00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.939
 they will hold to his teaching.

00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:33.300
 Literally,

00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.580
 you will remain in my word.

00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:38.840
 Why does he say that to them?

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:40.040
 Well,

00:06:40.060 --> 00:06:41.600
 it seems perhaps implied,

00:06:41.819 --> 00:06:45.200
 that some of them only believe in him for the moment,

00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:49.939
 but may later change their mind about Jesus.

00:06:50.939 --> 00:06:52.700
 The second thing that we see,

00:06:53.060 --> 00:06:53.879
 clue we see here,

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:54.439
 he says,

00:06:55.200 --> 00:06:57.340
 then you will know the truth.

00:06:58.400 --> 00:06:59.700
 He speaks to them as if,

00:06:59.699 --> 00:07:01.259
 they don't yet know it.

00:07:02.060 --> 00:07:04.219
 You need to continue in my word.

00:07:04.300 --> 00:07:06.800
 You need to continue listening to the things I'm saying.

00:07:07.099 --> 00:07:08.759
 You need to take it seriously,

00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:10.439
 and then you will know the truth.

00:07:13.719 --> 00:07:18.959
 So they don't yet seem to know the truth about Jesus.

00:07:19.219 --> 00:07:21.680
 Maybe they're excited about the possibility that,

00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:22.060
 oh,

00:07:22.099 --> 00:07:22.980
 is this the Messiah?

00:07:22.980 --> 00:07:24.420
 I think so.

00:07:24.540 --> 00:07:25.500
 I think he is.

00:07:25.540 --> 00:07:26.319
 It sounds good.

00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.300
 But maybe they don't know for sure yet.

00:07:30.300 --> 00:07:33.759
 And the third clue that they're maybe not true believers,

00:07:34.220 --> 00:07:37.140
 is in the last thing Jesus says here.

00:07:37.200 --> 00:07:37.560
 He says,

00:07:37.660 --> 00:07:39.280
 and the truth will set you free.

00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.000
 That sounds a little weird to our ears,

00:07:43.159 --> 00:07:43.659
 but let's,

00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:45.399
 to maybe hear what they're hearing,

00:07:46.019 --> 00:07:47.159
 maybe a paraphrase.

00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:48.739
 The truth will liberate you.

00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:52.099
 And as the people hear this,

00:07:52.579 --> 00:07:53.659
 they take offense.

00:07:54.979 --> 00:07:56.359
 What do you mean set us free?

00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:57.639
 What do you mean liberate us?

00:07:58.319 --> 00:07:59.439
 We're not slaves.

00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.839
 And Jesus,

00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:03.120
 without getting into it,

00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:03.879
 we'll look at it more,

00:08:04.060 --> 00:08:05.180
 a little bit next week.

00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.180
 Jesus basically says to them,

00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:08.019
 oh yes,

00:08:08.139 --> 00:08:08.620
 you are.

00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:10.519
 He says,

00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.720
 everyone who sins

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.800
 is a slave to sin.

00:08:21.420 --> 00:08:23.740
 So when we bring all these things together,

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:25.800
 Jesus is telling these believers

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.860
 that they are still slaves to sin,

00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.120
 who need to know the truth

00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:30.040
 that he speaks

00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.080
 and be set free.

00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.539
 So those are at least three evidences

00:08:35.539 --> 00:08:36.639
 in this conversation

00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.100
 of why these believers

00:08:38.100 --> 00:08:39.360
 believed in some sense,

00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.919
 but probably are not yet true believers.

00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:45.659
 And in any case,

00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:48.080
 if there's any more,

00:08:48.379 --> 00:08:50.019
 if there's any doubt or concern,

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.539
 all we have to do is keep reading

00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:54.000
 in this passage

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.700
 and see where the conversation goes.

00:08:56.700 --> 00:08:59.340
 And it becomes pretty obvious

00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:01.560
 that they're not true believers.

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:04.700
 We'll get into these verses

00:09:04.700 --> 00:09:05.500
 in the weeks ahead,

00:09:05.580 --> 00:09:06.800
 but Jesus is going to tell them

00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:08.580
 that they are unresponsive

00:09:08.580 --> 00:09:09.379
 to his word,

00:09:10.660 --> 00:09:11.940
 children of the devil,

00:09:13.060 --> 00:09:13.520
 liars,

00:09:13.780 --> 00:09:15.140
 and at least some of them

00:09:15.140 --> 00:09:16.820
 have the desire to murder him

00:09:16.820 --> 00:09:18.740
 in their hearts.

00:09:18.740 --> 00:09:22.120
 So these many

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.080
 who have believed in him

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:25.480
 seem to have a shallow

00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.159
 or a superficial,

00:09:27.340 --> 00:09:28.320
 on-the-surface

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.639
 kind of faith

00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:31.519
 instead of the kind

00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.100
 that Jesus has been calling them

00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:33.600
 to have,

00:09:34.259 --> 00:09:35.480
 a deep faith

00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.240
 from the heart,

00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:39.539
 the kind that leads

00:09:39.539 --> 00:09:40.259
 to salvation

00:09:40.259 --> 00:09:41.639
 and eternal life

00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.159
 and all that Christ

00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.139
 has promised

00:09:44.139 --> 00:09:45.159
 to those who believe.

00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:49.079
 And it shouldn't surprise us

00:09:49.079 --> 00:09:49.699
 that some

00:09:49.699 --> 00:09:52.079
 seem to believe at first

00:09:52.079 --> 00:09:53.860
 and then turn away

00:09:53.860 --> 00:09:55.839
 or fall away.

00:09:56.860 --> 00:09:57.980
 John has already told us

00:09:57.980 --> 00:09:58.980
 about something like this

00:09:58.980 --> 00:09:59.659
 in his gospel

00:09:59.659 --> 00:10:01.339
 earlier back in chapter 2.

00:10:02.019 --> 00:10:02.500
 Do you remember?

00:10:03.100 --> 00:10:05.100
 Jesus was in Jerusalem

00:10:05.100 --> 00:10:06.559
 for the Passover festival

00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.079
 and

00:10:08.079 --> 00:10:11.539
 it says there,

00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.079
 many people saw

00:10:13.079 --> 00:10:14.659
 the signs he was performing.

00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.279
 and believed in his name.

00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:19.919
 But Jesus would not

00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.319
 entrust himself to them

00:10:21.319 --> 00:10:22.860
 for he knew

00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:23.899
 all people.

00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:25.860
 He did not need

00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:26.639
 any testimony

00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:27.639
 about men

00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:28.600
 for he knew

00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:29.519
 what was in a man.

00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:31.600
 So there was

00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.539
 something not right

00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:34.939
 about their faith

00:10:34.939 --> 00:10:36.219
 back on that occasion.

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.159
 They believed

00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:37.980
 in some sense

00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:38.740
 and yet not

00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:40.480
 in the sense

00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:41.100
 that Jesus

00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:43.240
 is aiming at.

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.740
 and Nicodemus

00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:46.480
 was the example

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:47.460
 that John gave.

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:49.539
 He seemed to have

00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:50.539
 some faith

00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:51.120
 in Jesus.

00:10:51.820 --> 00:10:52.799
 We know

00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:53.259
 he said

00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:53.840
 that you are

00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:54.460
 a teacher

00:10:54.460 --> 00:10:55.000
 who has come

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:55.600
 from God.

00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:57.180
 How else

00:10:57.180 --> 00:10:57.860
 could you be doing

00:10:57.860 --> 00:10:58.759
 all these miracles

00:10:58.759 --> 00:10:59.639
 that you're doing?

00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:01.840
 And yet

00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:02.779
 that came that point

00:11:02.779 --> 00:11:03.680
 in the conversation

00:11:03.680 --> 00:11:04.379
 where Jesus

00:11:04.379 --> 00:11:05.379
 looked him in the face

00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:05.860
 and said

00:11:05.860 --> 00:11:07.299
 Nicodemus

00:11:07.299 --> 00:11:08.939
 you don't believe

00:11:08.939 --> 00:11:10.000
 the earthly things

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.120
 I'm telling you about.

00:11:12.479 --> 00:11:13.659
 So what's the point

00:11:13.659 --> 00:11:14.679
 in answering your questions

00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.019
 about the heavenly things?

00:11:18.319 --> 00:11:19.379
 Nicodemus' problem

00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:21.019
 at that moment

00:11:21.019 --> 00:11:21.659
 was the same

00:11:21.659 --> 00:11:22.199
 as the people

00:11:22.199 --> 00:11:22.939
 in this moment.

00:11:24.059 --> 00:11:25.039
 He had a

00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:26.039
 shallow

00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:26.799
 superficial

00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.519
 faith in Jesus

00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:29.579
 just on the surface.

00:11:29.819 --> 00:11:30.219
 He believed

00:11:30.219 --> 00:11:31.099
 in some sense

00:11:31.099 --> 00:11:32.779
 and yet not

00:11:32.779 --> 00:11:33.359
 deeply

00:11:33.359 --> 00:11:34.699
 in his heart

00:11:34.700 --> 00:11:35.740
 all

00:11:35.740 --> 00:11:36.620
 that Jesus

00:11:36.620 --> 00:11:37.620
 has been saying

00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:38.080
 the things

00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:38.960
 he's been claiming.

00:11:40.580 --> 00:11:41.140
 Perhaps

00:11:41.140 --> 00:11:41.960
 the best place

00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:42.740
 to find insight

00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:43.980
 about what's

00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:44.780
 going on here

00:11:44.780 --> 00:11:46.120
 with these people

00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:47.240
 who believed

00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:47.660
 and yet

00:11:47.660 --> 00:11:48.820
 seems have not

00:11:48.820 --> 00:11:49.759
 truly believed

00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:50.980
 is Jesus'

00:11:51.140 --> 00:11:51.720
 own teaching

00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:53.080
 from the parable

00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:53.700
 of the sower.

00:11:54.700 --> 00:11:55.400
 I think

00:11:55.400 --> 00:11:56.580
 probably all of you

00:11:56.580 --> 00:11:57.480
 know that parable

00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:58.780
 or have heard it.

00:11:59.780 --> 00:12:00.560
 A farmer went out

00:12:00.560 --> 00:12:01.480
 to sow his seed

00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.620
 and as he's doing

00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:04.140
 so

00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:05.379
 some seed

00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:05.980
 falls on

00:12:05.980 --> 00:12:07.299
 different places

00:12:07.299 --> 00:12:08.379
 four different places

00:12:08.379 --> 00:12:10.199
 some falls on the path

00:12:10.199 --> 00:12:11.799
 some falls on the rocky soil

00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:13.720
 some falls on the weed

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.819
 or the thorny soil

00:12:14.819 --> 00:12:16.159
 and some falls

00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.120
 on the good soil

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.039
 and depending on

00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:20.100
 where the seed fell

00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:20.960
 there was

00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:22.039
 a different outcome

00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.899
 and the only good outcome

00:12:24.899 --> 00:12:25.879
 in which the plant

00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:26.419
 survived

00:12:26.419 --> 00:12:28.019
 and a harvest resulted

00:12:28.019 --> 00:12:29.000
 was the seed

00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:29.419
 that fell

00:12:29.419 --> 00:12:30.439
 on the good soil

00:12:30.439 --> 00:12:32.960
 and Jesus later

00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:34.080
 explained the meaning

00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.160
 of that parable

00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:36.639
 to his disciples

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.540
 he told them

00:12:39.540 --> 00:12:40.120
 that the seed

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:41.120
 represents the word

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.660
 of God

00:12:41.660 --> 00:12:43.920
 and he explained

00:12:43.920 --> 00:12:44.840
 how each of those

00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:45.800
 different outcomes

00:12:45.800 --> 00:12:46.920
 is a picture

00:12:46.920 --> 00:12:47.740
 of how people

00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:48.340
 respond

00:12:48.340 --> 00:12:49.700
 when they hear

00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:50.720
 the word

00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:51.440
 of God

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:51.980
 which Christ

00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:52.600
 is speaking

00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.399
 and we learn

00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:55.960
 from Jesus

00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.000
 that it's possible

00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.100
 not just possible

00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:00.920
 but that it's even

00:13:00.920 --> 00:13:01.680
 to be expected

00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:02.980
 that some will receive

00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:04.040
 the word of God

00:13:04.040 --> 00:13:06.340
 which Jesus is speaking

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:07.899
 but then later

00:13:07.899 --> 00:13:08.639
 abandon it

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:10.040
 later

00:13:10.040 --> 00:13:11.180
 change their minds

00:13:11.180 --> 00:13:13.240
 listen to what Jesus

00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:13.659
 says

00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:15.040
 in Matthew 13

00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:16.180
 verse 20

00:13:16.179 --> 00:13:18.259
 the seed

00:13:18.259 --> 00:13:19.199
 falling on rocky

00:13:19.199 --> 00:13:19.579
 ground

00:13:19.579 --> 00:13:20.620
 refers to someone

00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:22.139
 who hears the word

00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:23.219
 and at once

00:13:23.219 --> 00:13:24.679
 receives it with joy

00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.479
 but since they have

00:13:27.479 --> 00:13:28.239
 no root

00:13:28.239 --> 00:13:29.819
 they last only

00:13:29.819 --> 00:13:30.719
 a short time

00:13:30.719 --> 00:13:32.859
 when trouble

00:13:32.859 --> 00:13:33.879
 or persecution

00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:35.219
 comes because

00:13:35.219 --> 00:13:35.979
 of the word

00:13:35.979 --> 00:13:38.000
 they quickly

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:38.659
 fall away

00:13:38.659 --> 00:13:41.379
 I think this is

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:41.959
 an example

00:13:41.959 --> 00:13:42.919
 of what's happening

00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:43.879
 here with the crowds

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:45.439
 in the temple courts

00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.540
 there's this initial

00:13:47.540 --> 00:13:48.240
 excitement

00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:48.940
 yes

00:13:48.940 --> 00:13:49.760
 could this be

00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:50.380
 the Messiah

00:13:50.380 --> 00:13:51.860
 could this be

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:52.220
 the one

00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:52.600
 who's going to

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:53.720
 put an end

00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:54.480
 to all of our

00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:55.280
 big problems

00:13:55.280 --> 00:13:57.120
 I think he is

00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:58.720
 I mean listen to him

00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:00.780
 he sounds good

00:14:00.780 --> 00:14:03.460
 but the word

00:14:03.460 --> 00:14:04.620
 that Jesus is speaking

00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:06.040
 is only being received

00:14:06.040 --> 00:14:07.940
 in a shallow sense

00:14:07.940 --> 00:14:08.820
 it's not

00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:10.180
 putting down roots

00:14:10.180 --> 00:14:11.700
 deep into the heart

00:14:11.700 --> 00:14:14.640
 and so suddenly

00:14:14.640 --> 00:14:15.300
 when there's this

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:16.000
 big shift

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:16.539
 and Jesus

00:14:16.539 --> 00:14:17.620
 becomes publicly

00:14:17.620 --> 00:14:18.479
 blacklisted

00:14:18.479 --> 00:14:19.259
 by the religious

00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:19.719
 leaders

00:14:19.719 --> 00:14:21.139
 and it's no longer

00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:22.479
 popular to believe

00:14:22.479 --> 00:14:23.000
 in Jesus

00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:23.679
 and there's even

00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:24.240
 some negative

00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:25.139
 consequences

00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:26.299
 for those who do

00:14:26.299 --> 00:14:27.519
 such as being

00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:28.219
 kicked out of the

00:14:28.219 --> 00:14:28.539
 synagogue

00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:29.579
 or other things

00:14:29.579 --> 00:14:30.519
 suddenly

00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:31.539
 many of these

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:32.019
 people

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:33.079
 these same people

00:14:33.079 --> 00:14:33.879
 will be the ones

00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:34.359
 shouting

00:14:34.359 --> 00:14:35.859
 crucify him

00:14:35.859 --> 00:14:37.479
 as the religious

00:14:37.479 --> 00:14:38.179
 leaders are

00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:39.000
 whispering in their

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:39.479
 ears

00:14:39.479 --> 00:14:41.479
 why

00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:44.680
 because the word

00:14:44.680 --> 00:14:45.700
 that Christ

00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:46.320
 spoke

00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:47.539
 the word of God

00:14:47.539 --> 00:14:48.519
 did not penetrate

00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:49.600
 deep

00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:50.800
 down into their

00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:51.440
 hearts

00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:53.480
 their belief in him

00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:54.039
 is shallow

00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:55.899
 it's superficial

00:14:55.899 --> 00:14:56.920
 surface level

00:14:56.920 --> 00:14:58.940
 they don't know

00:14:58.940 --> 00:14:59.500
 the truth

00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:00.320
 about Jesus

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.080
 and as Jesus

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:02.759
 says to these

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:03.100
 people

00:15:03.100 --> 00:15:03.680
 they are still

00:15:03.680 --> 00:15:04.840
 slaves to sin

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.759
 they're still in need

00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:07.860
 of being set free

00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:10.580
 this is the whole

00:15:10.580 --> 00:15:12.000
 thrust of what

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:12.940
 Jesus is driving

00:15:12.940 --> 00:15:13.480
 at here

00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.440
 and I couldn't

00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:17.039
 help but think

00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:17.399
 you know

00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:18.379
 Jesus is so

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:19.259
 unlike us

00:15:19.259 --> 00:15:21.000
 if it was you

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:21.419
 or me

00:15:21.419 --> 00:15:22.340
 and all these

00:15:22.340 --> 00:15:22.800
 people were

00:15:22.800 --> 00:15:23.460
 gathering around

00:15:23.460 --> 00:15:24.019
 to listen

00:15:24.019 --> 00:15:25.139
 and more and

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:25.779
 more are coming

00:15:25.779 --> 00:15:26.680
 it's like yes

00:15:26.680 --> 00:15:27.360
 this is good

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:28.019
 let's keep this

00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:28.399
 going

00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:29.480
 let's not say

00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:30.220
 anything that will

00:15:30.220 --> 00:15:30.800
 thin out the

00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:31.180
 crowd

00:15:31.180 --> 00:15:34.779
 but Jesus is not

00:15:34.779 --> 00:15:35.740
 interested in just

00:15:35.740 --> 00:15:36.700
 having superficial

00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:37.320
 followers

00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.020
 or surface

00:15:39.020 --> 00:15:39.460
 level

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:40.640
 faith

00:15:40.640 --> 00:15:42.200
 do you hear

00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:42.879
 what he's saying

00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.260
 if you hold

00:15:45.260 --> 00:15:46.440
 to my teaching

00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:47.879
 if you remain

00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:48.700
 in my word

00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:49.940
 you are really

00:15:49.940 --> 00:15:51.140
 you are truly

00:15:51.140 --> 00:15:52.340
 my disciples

00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:54.960
 literally if you

00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:55.980
 continue or you

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:57.500
 remain or stay

00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:58.900
 in my word

00:15:58.900 --> 00:16:00.620
 truly

00:16:00.620 --> 00:16:02.820
 you are my

00:16:02.820 --> 00:16:03.380
 disciples

00:16:03.380 --> 00:16:06.740
 you see there are

00:16:06.740 --> 00:16:07.560
 disciples of

00:16:07.560 --> 00:16:07.919
 Jesus

00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.120
 and then there

00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:10.820
 are true

00:16:10.820 --> 00:16:11.919
 disciples of

00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:12.379
 Jesus

00:16:12.379 --> 00:16:14.560
 according to

00:16:14.560 --> 00:16:15.279
 Jesus one of

00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:16.039
 the indicators

00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:17.639
 or marks of a

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.440
 true disciple

00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:19.019
 of his

00:16:19.019 --> 00:16:21.320
 is that you

00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:22.539
 remain in

00:16:22.539 --> 00:16:23.180
 his word

00:16:23.180 --> 00:16:25.799
 you hold fast

00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:26.139
 to it

00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:27.220
 you continue to

00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:27.580
 believe

00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:28.580
 you continue to

00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:28.980
 trust

00:16:28.980 --> 00:16:29.960
 you continue to

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:30.379
 obey

00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:31.480
 to listen to

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:31.980
 to take

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:32.620
 seriously

00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:33.379
 his word

00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:36.259
 there are

00:16:36.259 --> 00:16:37.060
 disciples of

00:16:37.060 --> 00:16:37.420
 Jesus

00:16:37.420 --> 00:16:39.200
 and then there

00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:40.180
 are true

00:16:40.180 --> 00:16:41.259
 disciples of

00:16:41.259 --> 00:16:41.620
 Jesus

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:43.899
 and we've seen

00:16:43.899 --> 00:16:44.639
 an example of

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.159
 this happen

00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:45.779
 already in

00:16:45.779 --> 00:16:46.580
 John's gospel

00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:47.080
 do you remember

00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:47.600
 back in

00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:48.200
 John chapter

00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:48.740
 six

00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:51.240
 Jesus was

00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:52.159
 teaching in

00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:52.700
 the synagogue

00:16:52.700 --> 00:16:53.680
 at Capernaum

00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.699
 he said

00:16:55.699 --> 00:16:56.179
 I am the

00:16:56.179 --> 00:16:56.579
 bread of

00:16:56.579 --> 00:16:57.019
 life

00:16:57.019 --> 00:16:58.779
 that's come

00:16:58.779 --> 00:16:59.259
 down from

00:16:59.259 --> 00:16:59.599
 heaven

00:16:59.599 --> 00:17:00.739
 to give

00:17:00.739 --> 00:17:01.319
 life to

00:17:01.319 --> 00:17:01.819
 the world

00:17:01.819 --> 00:17:03.000
 and he said

00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:03.539
 some things

00:17:03.539 --> 00:17:04.019
 that day

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:04.419
 that were a

00:17:04.419 --> 00:17:04.980
 little shocking

00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:06.299
 talking about

00:17:06.299 --> 00:17:06.819
 eating his

00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:07.399
 flesh and

00:17:07.399 --> 00:17:07.980
 drinking his

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.379
 blood

00:17:08.379 --> 00:17:09.480
 and of course

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:09.960
 we talked

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.500
 about that

00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:11.179
 and how he

00:17:11.179 --> 00:17:12.079
 was speaking

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.119
 metaphorically

00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.659
 and what

00:17:16.659 --> 00:17:17.759
 followed that

00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:18.859
 his disciples

00:17:18.859 --> 00:17:19.500
 it says

00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:20.679
 grumbled

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.940
 they didn't

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:23.640
 like what

00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:23.940
 he was

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.240
 saying

00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:24.740
 this is in

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:25.320
 John 6

00:17:25.320 --> 00:17:26.080
 verse 60

00:17:26.080 --> 00:17:27.779
 on hearing

00:17:27.779 --> 00:17:28.320
 it many of

00:17:28.320 --> 00:17:28.840
 his disciples

00:17:28.840 --> 00:17:29.440
 said this is

00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:29.740
 a hard

00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:30.240
 teaching

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:30.700
 who can

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:31.060
 accept

00:17:31.060 --> 00:17:31.440
 that

00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.500
 and Jesus

00:17:34.500 --> 00:17:34.980
 looked at

00:17:34.980 --> 00:17:35.380
 them and he

00:17:35.380 --> 00:17:35.740
 said to

00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:35.980
 them

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:37.580
 verse 63

00:17:37.580 --> 00:17:40.640
 the spirit

00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:41.380
 gives life

00:17:41.380 --> 00:17:42.860
 the flesh

00:17:42.860 --> 00:17:43.340
 counts for

00:17:43.340 --> 00:17:43.640
 nothing

00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:44.160
 the words

00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:44.440
 I have

00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:45.120
 spoken to

00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:45.400
 you

00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:47.019
 they are

00:17:47.019 --> 00:17:47.400
 full of

00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:47.980
 the spirit

00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:49.360
 and life

00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:51.059
 and then

00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:51.359
 he looked

00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:51.599
 them in

00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:51.939
 the eyes

00:17:51.939 --> 00:17:52.119
 and he

00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:52.559
 said yet

00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:53.019
 there are

00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:53.539

00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.059

00:17:55.059 --> 00:17:55.699
 his disciples

00:17:55.699 --> 00:17:56.319

00:17:56.879 --> 00:17:57.259
 some of

00:17:57.259 --> 00:17:58.579
 you who

00:17:58.579 --> 00:17:59.000
 do not

00:17:59.000 --> 00:17:59.500
 believe

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:02.240
 Judas was

00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:02.559
 one of

00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:02.759
 them

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.559
 the summary

00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:06.259
 statement at

00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:06.679
 the end of

00:18:06.679 --> 00:18:07.299
 that section

00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:07.839
 was this

00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:08.839
 from this

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:09.599
 time many

00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:10.119
 of his

00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:10.679
 disciples

00:18:10.679 --> 00:18:11.799
 turned back

00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:13.339
 and no

00:18:13.339 --> 00:18:13.699
 longer

00:18:13.699 --> 00:18:14.099
 followed

00:18:14.099 --> 00:18:14.439
 him

00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:19.019
 the reason

00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:19.620
 they left

00:18:19.620 --> 00:18:21.240
 is they

00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:21.779
 did not

00:18:21.779 --> 00:18:22.140
 truly

00:18:22.140 --> 00:18:22.580
 believe

00:18:22.580 --> 00:18:22.820
 in

00:18:22.820 --> 00:18:23.180
 Jesus

00:18:23.180 --> 00:18:26.420
 Jesus

00:18:26.420 --> 00:18:26.799
 started

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.180
 saying

00:18:27.180 --> 00:18:27.440
 some

00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:27.700
 things

00:18:27.700 --> 00:18:27.880
 that

00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:28.160
 people

00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:28.480
 didn't

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:28.900
 like

00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:31.180
 things

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:31.360
 that

00:18:31.360 --> 00:18:31.620
 people

00:18:31.620 --> 00:18:31.860
 took

00:18:31.860 --> 00:18:32.259
 offense

00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:32.580
 at

00:18:32.580 --> 00:18:32.960
 things

00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:33.120
 that

00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:33.240
 were

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:33.519
 starting

00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:33.740
 to

00:18:33.740 --> 00:18:33.940
 make

00:18:33.940 --> 00:18:34.080
 him

00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:34.320
 less

00:18:34.320 --> 00:18:34.860
 popular

00:18:34.860 --> 00:18:35.140
 and

 people

00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:35.600
 are

00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:35.960
 grumbling

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:36.160
 and

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:36.559
 complaining

00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:36.900
 about

00:18:36.900 --> 00:18:37.259
 this

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:38.080
 they

00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:38.259
 didn't

00:18:38.259 --> 00:18:38.400
 want

00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:38.559
 to be

00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:39.100
 associated

00:18:39.100 --> 00:18:39.420
 with

00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:39.720
 that

00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:40.759
 as

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:40.860
 soon

00:18:40.860 --> 00:18:41.019
 as

00:18:41.019 --> 00:18:41.220
 some

00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:41.539
 trouble

00:18:41.539 --> 00:18:42.140

00:18:42.140 --> 00:18:44.700
 they're

00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:44.880
 quick

00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:45.060
 to

00:18:45.060 --> 00:18:45.259
 fall

00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:06.940
 he

00:23:06.940 --> 00:23:07.340
 was

00:23:07.340 --> 00:23:07.700
 truly

 was

00:23:27.020 --> 00:23:27.340
 Peter

00:23:27.340 --> 00:23:27.600
 who

 made

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:28.240
 that

00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:28.740
 confession

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:31.200
 Christ

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:32.720
 the

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:33.100
 son

00:23:33.100 --> 00:23:33.240
 of

00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:36.680
 but

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:36.860
 then

00:23:36.860 --> 00:23:37.120
 three

00:23:37.120 --> 00:23:37.560
 times

00:23:37.560 --> 00:23:37.760
 he

00:23:37.760 --> 00:23:38.100
 said

00:23:38.100 --> 00:23:39.100
 I'm

00:23:39.100 --> 00:23:39.260
 not

 his

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:40.240
 disciples

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.640
 I

00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:42.880
 don't

00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:43.120
 know

00:23:43.120 --> 00:23:43.880
 I

00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:45.279
 don't

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.680
 know

00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:46.740
 I

00:23:46.740 --> 00:23:46.880
 don't

00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:47.079
 know

00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:47.359
 him

00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:48.680
 he

00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:49.059
 denied

00:23:49.059 --> 00:23:49.240
 the

00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:49.380
 Lord

00:23:49.380 --> 00:23:49.680
 three

00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:50.339
 times

00:23:50.339 --> 00:23:54.400
 a

00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:54.599
 true

00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:55.039
 disciple

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:55.279
 of

00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:55.620
 Jesus

00:23:55.620 --> 00:23:57.339
 but

00:23:57.339 --> 00:23:57.539
 even

00:23:57.539 --> 00:23:57.740
 as

00:23:57.740 --> 00:23:57.880
 he

00:23:57.880 --> 00:23:58.140
 did

00:23:58.140 --> 00:23:58.539
 it

00:23:58.539 --> 00:23:58.819
 broke

00:23:58.819 --> 00:23:59.019
 his

00:23:59.019 --> 00:23:59.339
 heart

00:23:59.339 --> 00:24:01.220
 he

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:01.640
 wept

00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:03.299
 it

00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:03.500
 brought

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:03.620
 him

00:24:03.620 --> 00:24:03.799
 to

00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:04.259
 tears

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:05.700
 because

00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:05.940
 he

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:06.200
 did

00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:06.640
 truly

00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:07.160
 love

00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:08.000
 and

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:08.380
 believe

00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:08.579
 in

00:24:08.579 --> 00:24:08.700
 the

00:24:08.700 --> 00:24:08.900
 Lord

00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:09.320
 Jesus

00:24:09.320 --> 00:24:12.320
 and

00:24:12.320 --> 00:24:12.440
 he

00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:12.660
 turned

00:24:12.660 --> 00:24:12.940
 back

00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:13.100
 to

00:24:13.100 --> 00:24:13.240
 the

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:13.480
 Lord

00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:15.700
 and

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:15.840
 that

00:24:15.840 --> 00:24:16.120
 wasn't

00:24:16.120 --> 00:24:16.259
 the

00:24:16.259 --> 00:24:16.460
 only

00:24:16.460 --> 00:24:16.740
 time

00:24:16.740 --> 00:24:16.960
 that

00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:17.180
 Peter

00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:17.640
 sinned

00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:18.320
 even

00:24:18.320 --> 00:24:18.700
 after

00:24:18.700 --> 00:24:19.220
 he

00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:19.400
 had

00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:19.759
 received

00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:19.920
 the

00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.160
 Holy

00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:20.640
 Spirit

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:21.400
 there

00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:21.620
 came

00:24:21.620 --> 00:24:21.820
 that

00:24:21.820 --> 00:24:22.100
 time

00:24:22.100 --> 00:24:22.300
 when

00:24:22.300 --> 00:24:22.860
 Paul

00:24:22.860 --> 00:24:23.120
 had

00:24:23.120 --> 00:24:23.300
 to

00:24:23.300 --> 00:24:23.640
 rebuke

00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:24.080
 Peter

00:24:24.080 --> 00:24:25.300
 mentioned

00:24:25.300 --> 00:24:25.540
 in

00:24:25.540 --> 00:24:26.200
 Galatians

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:26.960
 because

00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:27.220
 Peter

00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:27.380
 had

00:24:27.380 --> 00:24:27.620
 begun

00:24:27.620 --> 00:24:27.840
 to

00:24:27.840 --> 00:24:28.120
 treat

00:24:28.120 --> 00:24:28.380
 some

00:24:28.380 --> 00:24:28.500
 of

00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:28.640
 the

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:29.100
 Gentile

00:24:29.100 --> 00:24:29.540
 believers

00:24:29.540 --> 00:24:29.820
 in

00:24:29.820 --> 00:24:29.920
 a

00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:30.040
 way

00:24:30.040 --> 00:24:30.220
 that

00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:30.519
 wasn't

00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:30.920
 right

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:31.800
 but

00:24:31.800 --> 00:24:32.140
 again

00:24:32.140 --> 00:24:32.880
 even

00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:33.040
 though

00:24:33.040 --> 00:24:33.220
 he

00:24:33.220 --> 00:24:33.440
 blew

00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:33.680
 it

00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:34.420
 and

00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:34.640
 led

00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:34.880
 some

00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:35.140
 others

00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:35.560
 astray

00:24:35.560 --> 00:24:36.040
 even

00:24:36.040 --> 00:24:37.440
 Peter

00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:37.980
 responded

00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:38.180
 to

00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:39.860
 he

00:24:39.860 --> 00:24:40.360
 repented

00:24:40.360 --> 00:24:41.340
 so

00:24:41.340 --> 00:24:41.620
 yes

00:24:41.620 --> 00:24:41.840
 as

00:24:41.840 --> 00:24:42.080
 true

00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:42.640
 disciples

00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:43.840
 we

00:24:43.840 --> 00:24:44.360
 won't

00:24:44.360 --> 00:24:44.860
 hold

00:24:44.860 --> 00:24:45.040
 to

00:24:45.040 --> 00:24:45.360
 Jesus

00:24:45.360 --> 00:24:45.700
 word

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:46.340
 perfectly

00:24:46.340 --> 00:24:48.240
 we

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:48.420
 will

00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:48.640
 make

00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:49.080
 mistakes

00:24:49.080 --> 00:24:49.259
 at

00:24:49.259 --> 00:24:49.580
 times

00:24:49.580 --> 00:24:49.759
 we

00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:49.940
 will

00:24:49.940 --> 00:24:50.200
 blow

00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:50.460
 it

00:24:50.460 --> 00:24:53.200
 being

00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:53.400
 a

00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:53.620
 true

00:24:53.620 --> 00:24:54.080
 disciple

00:24:54.080 --> 00:24:54.300
 of

00:24:54.300 --> 00:24:54.560
 Jesus

00:24:54.560 --> 00:24:54.980
 doesn't

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:55.140
 mean

00:24:55.140 --> 00:24:55.259
 we

00:24:55.259 --> 00:24:55.400
 will

00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:55.620
 never

00:24:55.620 --> 00:24:56.019
 fail

00:24:56.019 --> 00:24:56.420
 again

00:24:56.420 --> 00:24:58.200
 it

00:24:58.200 --> 00:24:58.660
 means

00:24:58.660 --> 00:24:59.440
 that

00:24:59.440 --> 00:24:59.540
 we

00:24:59.540 --> 00:24:59.700
 will

00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:00.060
 always

00:25:00.060 --> 00:25:00.320
 come

00:25:00.320 --> 00:25:00.700
 back

00:25:00.700 --> 00:25:01.540
 to

00:25:01.540 --> 00:25:01.800
 him

00:25:01.800 --> 00:25:02.620
 when

00:25:02.620 --> 00:25:02.759
 we

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:03.000
 do

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:05.140
 it

00:25:05.140 --> 00:25:05.420
 means

00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:05.680
 that

00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:06.700
 you

00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:06.800
 know

00:25:06.800 --> 00:25:06.960
 we

00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:07.140
 may

00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:07.320
 go

00:25:07.320 --> 00:25:07.540
 through

00:25:07.540 --> 00:25:07.740
 a

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:08.040
 season

00:25:08.040 --> 00:25:08.259
 of

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:08.540
 doubt

00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:09.440
 perhaps

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:11.039
 questioning

00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:11.519
 wrestling

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:11.819
 why

00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:12.159
 do

00:25:12.159 --> 00:25:12.279
 I

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:12.579
 feel

00:25:12.579 --> 00:25:12.799
 like

00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:13.079
 this

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:13.220
 it

00:25:13.220 --> 00:25:13.519
 doesn't

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:14.139
 I

00:25:14.139 --> 00:25:14.339
 don't

00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:14.619
 see

00:25:14.619 --> 00:25:14.819
 the

00:25:14.819 --> 00:25:15.180
 promises

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:15.480
 of

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:15.779
 God

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:16.200
 coming

00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:16.480
 true

00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:16.700
 for

00:25:16.700 --> 00:25:17.019
 me

00:25:17.019 --> 00:25:17.960
 perhaps

00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:19.700
 but

00:25:19.700 --> 00:25:19.819
 at

00:25:19.819 --> 00:25:19.940
 the

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:20.039
 end

00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:20.159
 of

00:25:20.159 --> 00:25:20.259
 the

00:25:20.259 --> 00:25:20.440
 day

00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:20.659
 we'll

00:25:20.659 --> 00:25:20.960
 always

00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:21.200
 come

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:21.519
 back

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:21.680
 if

00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:21.819
 we're

00:25:21.819 --> 00:25:21.980
 a

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:22.139
 true

00:25:22.139 --> 00:25:22.619
 disciple

00:25:22.619 --> 00:25:22.839
 of

00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:23.099
 Jesus

00:25:23.099 --> 00:25:23.399
 to

00:25:23.399 --> 00:25:23.559
 what

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:23.819
 Peter

00:25:23.819 --> 00:25:24.240
 said

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:25.500
 to

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:25.740
 whom

00:25:25.740 --> 00:25:25.980
 shall

00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:26.159
 we

00:25:26.159 --> 00:25:26.480
 go

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:28.559
 you

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:28.940
 have

00:25:28.940 --> 00:25:29.119
 the

00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:29.339
 words

00:25:29.339 --> 00:25:29.480
 of

00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:29.759
 eternal

00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:30.139
 life

00:25:30.139 --> 00:25:30.279
 and

00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:30.480
 I

00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:30.879
 believe

00:25:30.879 --> 00:25:31.200
 I

00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:31.619
 know

00:25:31.619 --> 00:25:31.899
 that

00:25:31.899 --> 00:25:32.079
 you

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:32.200
 are

00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:32.379
 the

00:25:32.379 --> 00:25:32.599
 holy

00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:32.839
 one

00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:33.000
 of

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:33.299
 God

00:25:33.299 --> 00:25:37.319
 if

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:37.460
 you

00:25:37.460 --> 00:25:38.000
 remain

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.819
 in

00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:39.299
 my

00:25:39.299 --> 00:25:39.740
 word

00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:40.000
 said

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.379
 Jesus

00:25:40.379 --> 00:25:42.079
 you

00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:42.599
 continue

00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:43.759
 truly

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:44.559
 you

00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:44.700
 are

00:25:44.700 --> 00:25:44.919
 my

00:25:44.919 --> 00:25:45.440
 disciples

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:47.419
 so

00:25:47.419 --> 00:25:47.619
 what do

00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:47.899
 we do

00:25:47.899 --> 00:25:48.059
 with

00:25:48.059 --> 00:25:48.220
 all

00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:48.619
 this

00:25:48.619 --> 00:25:52.519
 well

00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:52.659
 I

00:25:52.659 --> 00:25:52.859
 hope

00:25:52.859 --> 00:25:53.219
 before

00:25:53.219 --> 00:25:53.439
 we

00:25:53.439 --> 00:25:53.659
 start

00:25:53.659 --> 00:25:54.139
 applying

00:25:54.139 --> 00:25:55.319
 all

00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:55.479
 of

00:25:55.479 --> 00:25:55.779
 this

00:25:55.779 --> 00:25:56.179
 to

00:25:56.179 --> 00:25:56.559
 other

00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:57.039
 people

00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:58.099
 that

00:25:58.099 --> 00:25:58.239
 we

00:25:58.239 --> 00:25:58.500
 first

00:25:58.500 --> 00:25:58.799
 stop

00:25:58.799 --> 00:25:58.939
 and

00:25:58.939 --> 00:25:59.199
 apply

00:25:59.199 --> 00:25:59.339
 it

00:25:59.339 --> 00:25:59.479
 to

00:25:59.479 --> 00:25:59.979
 ourselves

00:25:59.979 --> 00:26:02.019
 what

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:02.179
 does

00:26:02.179 --> 00:26:02.479
 Jesus

00:26:02.479 --> 00:26:02.839
 want

00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:03.059
 from

00:26:03.059 --> 00:26:03.459
 you

00:26:03.459 --> 00:26:05.419
 you

00:26:05.419 --> 00:26:05.819
 here

00:26:05.819 --> 00:26:06.299
 sitting

00:26:06.299 --> 00:26:06.559
 in

00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:06.879
 the

00:26:06.879 --> 00:26:07.339
 sanctuary

00:26:07.339 --> 00:26:07.919
 this

00:26:07.919 --> 00:26:08.259
 morning

00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:10.439
 put

00:26:10.439 --> 00:26:10.839
 yourself

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:11.159
 there

00:26:11.159 --> 00:26:11.419
 in the

00:26:11.419 --> 00:26:11.699
 crowd

00:26:11.699 --> 00:26:12.000
 that

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:12.299
 day

00:26:12.299 --> 00:26:12.500
 as

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:12.779
 Jesus

00:26:12.779 --> 00:26:13.059
 is

00:26:13.059 --> 00:26:13.479
 saying

00:26:13.479 --> 00:26:13.979
 this

00:26:13.979 --> 00:26:16.879
 Jesus

00:26:16.879 --> 00:26:18.399
 is

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:18.620
 not

00:26:18.620 --> 00:26:18.820
 only

00:26:18.820 --> 00:26:19.160
 calling

00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:19.620
 you

00:26:19.620 --> 00:26:20.180
 to

00:26:20.180 --> 00:26:20.519
 believe

00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:20.759
 in

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:21.019
 him

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:22.440
 he's

00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:22.720
 also

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:23.060
 calling

00:26:23.060 --> 00:26:23.240
 you

00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:23.460
 to

00:26:23.460 --> 00:26:24.040
 stay

00:26:24.040 --> 00:26:24.780
 in

00:26:24.780 --> 00:26:25.060
 his

00:26:25.060 --> 00:26:25.360
 word

00:26:25.360 --> 00:26:25.640
 to

00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:26.240
 remain

00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:27.220
 in

00:26:27.220 --> 00:26:27.460
 his

00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:27.820
 word

00:26:27.820 --> 00:26:30.220
 my

00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:30.740
 translation

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:31.120
 says

00:26:31.120 --> 00:26:31.400
 hold

00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:31.800
 fast

00:26:31.800 --> 00:26:31.980
 to

00:26:31.980 --> 00:26:32.160
 my

00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:32.600
 teaching

00:26:32.600 --> 00:26:33.759
 but

00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:33.900
 I

00:26:33.900 --> 00:26:34.160
 think

00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:35.360
 the

00:26:35.360 --> 00:26:35.560
 more

00:26:35.560 --> 00:26:35.920
 literal

00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:36.740
 word

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:36.960
 that

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:37.240
 Jesus

00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:37.780
 chose

00:26:37.780 --> 00:26:38.740
 remain

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:39.060
 in

00:26:39.060 --> 00:26:39.259
 my

00:26:39.259 --> 00:26:39.840
 word

00:26:39.840 --> 00:26:41.080
 is

00:26:41.080 --> 00:26:41.600
 on

00:26:41.600 --> 00:26:42.100
 purpose

00:26:42.100 --> 00:26:43.000
 what

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:43.460
 word

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:45.940
 Jesus

00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:46.880
 spoken

00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:47.560
 word

00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:49.220
 that

00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:49.299
 is

00:26:49.299 --> 00:26:49.480
 pretty

00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:49.940
 general

00:26:49.940 --> 00:26:50.200
 but

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:50.619
 probably

00:26:50.619 --> 00:26:50.859
 on

00:26:50.859 --> 00:26:51.359
 purpose

00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:51.740
 it

00:26:51.740 --> 00:26:52.279
 includes

00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:53.039
 all

00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:53.200
 of

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:53.399
 it

00:26:53.399 --> 00:26:55.279
 Jesus

00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:55.539
 had

00:26:55.539 --> 00:26:55.759
 many

00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:56.059
 different

00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:56.460
 kinds

00:26:56.460 --> 00:26:56.599
 of

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.299
 and

00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:05.619
 all

00:29:05.619 --> 00:29:05.879
 those

00:29:05.879 --> 00:29:06.319
 things

00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:08.099
 that

00:29:08.099 --> 00:29:08.220
 we

00:29:08.220 --> 00:29:08.500
 talk

00:29:08.500 --> 00:29:08.819
 about

00:29:08.819 --> 00:29:09.220
 Sunday

00:29:09.220 --> 00:29:09.519
 after

00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:09.980
 Sunday

00:29:09.980 --> 00:29:11.839
 are

00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:12.179
 you

00:29:12.179 --> 00:29:12.799
 remaining

00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:13.200
 in

00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:13.559
 Jesus

00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:14.519
 word

00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:16.700
 that's

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:16.960
 what a

00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:17.299
 true

00:29:17.299 --> 00:29:18.159
 disciple

00:29:18.159 --> 00:29:18.399
 of

00:29:18.399 --> 00:29:18.679
 Jesus

00:29:18.679 --> 00:29:19.220
 does

00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:20.599
 and

00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:20.740
 so

00:29:20.740 --> 00:29:20.899
 I

00:29:20.899 --> 00:29:21.200
 urge

00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:21.319
 you

00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:21.480
 to

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:21.859
 prayerfully

00:29:21.859 --> 00:29:22.299
 consider

00:29:22.299 --> 00:29:22.700
 this

00:29:22.700 --> 00:29:23.379
 word

00:29:23.379 --> 00:29:23.599
 from

00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:23.899
 Jesus

00:29:23.899 --> 00:29:24.159
 as

00:29:24.159 --> 00:29:24.259
 it

00:29:24.259 --> 00:29:24.599
 applies

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:24.799
 to

00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:25.079
 you

00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:26.939
 these

00:29:26.939 --> 00:29:27.179
 words

00:29:27.179 --> 00:29:27.299
 are

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:27.460
 for

00:29:27.460 --> 00:29:27.779
 you

00:29:27.779 --> 00:29:31.799
 and

00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:32.220
 finally

00:29:32.220 --> 00:29:32.899
 after

00:29:32.899 --> 00:29:33.859
 and

00:29:33.859 --> 00:29:34.279
 only

00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:34.700
 after

00:29:34.700 --> 00:29:34.980
 we've

00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:35.259
 applied

00:29:35.259 --> 00:29:35.519
 these

00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:35.819
 words

00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:36.019
 to

00:29:36.019 --> 00:29:36.519
 ourselves

00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:37.200
 I

00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:37.379
 think

00:29:37.379 --> 00:29:37.500
 we

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:37.660
 can

00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:37.920
 find

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:38.059
 in

00:29:38.059 --> 00:29:38.200
 them

00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:38.420
 some

00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:38.720
 true

00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:39.139
 wisdom

00:29:39.139 --> 00:29:40.119
 that

00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:40.279
 will

00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:40.559
 help

00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:40.720
 us

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.379
 understand

00:29:41.379 --> 00:29:41.619
 what

00:29:41.619 --> 00:29:42.000
 may

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:42.180
 be

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:42.460
 going

00:29:42.460 --> 00:29:42.740
 on

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:42.859
 in

00:29:42.859 --> 00:29:43.059
 other

00:29:43.059 --> 00:29:43.539
 people's

00:29:43.539 --> 00:29:43.879
 lives

00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:44.000
 things

00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:46.200
 but

00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:46.320
 we

00:29:46.320 --> 00:29:46.500
 need

00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:46.620
 to

00:29:46.620 --> 00:29:46.720
 be

00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:46.960
 very

00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:47.320
 careful

00:29:47.320 --> 00:29:47.700
 here

00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:48.180
 and

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:48.320
 I

00:29:48.320 --> 00:29:48.460
 think

00:29:48.460 --> 00:29:48.600
 we

00:29:48.600 --> 00:29:48.740
 need

00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:48.860
 to

00:29:48.860 --> 00:29:49.180
 approach

00:29:49.180 --> 00:29:49.380
 this

00:29:49.380 --> 00:29:49.560
 with

00:29:49.560 --> 00:29:49.980
 humility

00:29:49.980 --> 00:29:52.140
 we

00:29:52.140 --> 00:29:52.320
 need

00:29:52.320 --> 00:29:52.420
 to

00:29:52.420 --> 00:29:52.660
 admit

00:29:52.660 --> 00:29:53.020
 before

00:29:53.020 --> 00:29:53.260
 we

00:29:53.260 --> 00:29:53.720
 try

00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:53.880
 and

00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:54.000
 do

00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:54.300
 any

00:29:54.300 --> 00:29:54.880
 discerning

00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:55.120
 that

00:29:55.120 --> 00:29:55.500
 only

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:55.960
 God

00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:56.360
 knows

00:29:56.360 --> 00:29:56.560
 with

00:29:56.560 --> 00:29:57.020
 certainty

00:29:57.020 --> 00:29:57.360
 what's

00:29:57.360 --> 00:29:57.580
 going

00:29:57.580 --> 00:29:57.780
 on

00:29:57.780 --> 00:29:57.900
 in

00:29:57.900 --> 00:29:58.020
 a

00:29:58.020 --> 00:29:58.440
 person's

00:29:58.440 --> 00:29:58.740
 heart

00:29:58.740 --> 00:30:01.460
 we

00:30:01.460 --> 00:30:01.640
 need

00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:01.780
 to

00:30:01.780 --> 00:30:02.000
 admit

00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:02.340
 that

00:30:02.340 --> 00:30:03.620
 God

00:30:03.620 --> 00:30:04.000
 alone

00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:04.660
 is

00:30:04.660 --> 00:30:04.840
 the

00:30:04.840 --> 00:30:05.220
 judge

00:30:05.220 --> 00:30:06.740
 when

00:30:06.740 --> 00:30:07.020
 Christ

00:30:07.020 --> 00:30:07.480
 returns

00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:07.700
 we'll

00:30:07.700 --> 00:30:07.940
 stand

00:30:07.940 --> 00:30:08.240
 before

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:08.660
 him

00:30:08.660 --> 00:30:10.260
 he

00:30:10.260 --> 00:30:10.440
 will

00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:10.760
 judge

00:30:10.760 --> 00:30:11.000
 it's

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:11.240
 his

00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:11.720
 job

00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:12.940
 not

00:30:12.940 --> 00:30:13.340
 ours

00:30:13.339 --> 00:30:15.439
 and

00:30:15.439 --> 00:30:15.599
 with

00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:15.799
 these

00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:16.019
 things

00:30:16.019 --> 00:30:16.339
 firmly

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:16.500
 in

00:30:16.500 --> 00:30:16.639
 our

00:30:16.639 --> 00:30:17.059
 minds

00:30:17.059 --> 00:30:18.039
 I

00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:18.299
 believe

00:30:18.299 --> 00:30:18.619
 these

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:18.959
 words

00:30:18.959 --> 00:30:19.159
 of

00:30:19.159 --> 00:30:19.519
 Jesus

00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:20.159
 can

00:30:20.159 --> 00:30:20.439
 help

00:30:20.439 --> 00:30:20.619
 us

00:30:20.619 --> 00:30:21.159
 understand

00:30:21.159 --> 00:30:21.399
 what

00:30:21.399 --> 00:30:21.819
 may

00:30:21.819 --> 00:30:22.019
 be

00:30:22.019 --> 00:30:22.319
 going

00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:22.720
 on

00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:23.740
 when

00:30:23.740 --> 00:30:24.159
 people

00:30:24.159 --> 00:30:25.119
 seemed

00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:25.419
 to

00:30:25.419 --> 00:30:25.779
 believe

00:30:25.779 --> 00:30:25.980
 in

00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:26.119
 the

00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:26.619
 past

00:30:26.619 --> 00:30:28.000
 but

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:28.199
 now

00:30:28.199 --> 00:30:28.379
 they

00:30:28.379 --> 00:30:28.779
 don't

00:30:28.779 --> 00:30:31.119
 or

00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:31.299
 when

00:30:31.299 --> 00:30:31.599
 people

00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:31.980
 seem

00:30:31.980 --> 00:30:32.359
 to be

00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:32.579
 his

00:30:32.579 --> 00:30:33.000
 disciples

00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:33.259
 in

00:30:33.259 --> 00:30:33.379
 the

00:30:33.379 --> 00:30:33.779
 past

00:30:33.779 --> 00:30:34.059
 but

00:30:34.059 --> 00:30:34.279
 now

00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:34.480
 they're

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:34.859
 not

00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:37.500
 one

00:30:37.500 --> 00:30:37.619
 of

00:30:37.619 --> 00:30:37.740
 the

00:30:37.740 --> 00:30:38.079
 marks

00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:38.339
 says

00:30:38.339 --> 00:30:38.679
 Jesus

00:30:38.679 --> 00:30:39.079
 of a

00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:39.259
 true

00:30:39.259 --> 00:30:39.799
 disciple

00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:41.159
 is

00:30:41.159 --> 00:30:41.299
 that

00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:41.459
 they

00:30:41.459 --> 00:30:42.019
 continue

00:30:42.019 --> 00:30:42.720
 in

00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:43.079
 his

00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:43.500
 word

00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:44.599
 they

00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:45.159
 continue

00:30:45.159 --> 00:30:45.439
 to

00:30:45.439 --> 00:30:45.699
 hold

00:30:45.699 --> 00:30:46.079
 fast

00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:46.240
 to

00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:46.419
 his

00:30:46.419 --> 00:30:46.879
 teaching

00:30:46.879 --> 00:30:48.519
 which

00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:48.939
 means

00:30:48.939 --> 00:30:49.619
 that

00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:49.740
 if

00:30:49.740 --> 00:30:50.119
 someone

00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:50.419
 as

00:30:50.419 --> 00:30:50.699
 John

00:30:50.699 --> 00:30:51.119
 said

 moves

 moves

00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:53.500
 away

00:30:53.500 --> 00:30:53.919
 from

00:30:53.919 --> 00:30:54.220
 Jesus

00:30:54.220 --> 00:30:54.720
 teaching

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:55.379
 it

00:30:55.379 --> 00:30:55.819
 may

00:30:55.819 --> 00:30:56.240
 be

00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:57.119
 that

00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:57.279
 the

00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:57.579
 faith

00:30:57.579 --> 00:30:57.759
 that

00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:57.899
 they

00:30:57.899 --> 00:30:58.379
 expressed

00:30:58.379 --> 00:30:58.579
 in

00:30:58.579 --> 00:30:58.720
 the

00:30:58.720 --> 00:30:59.159
 past

00:30:59.159 --> 00:31:00.539
 was

00:31:00.539 --> 00:31:00.819
 only

00:31:00.819 --> 00:31:01.460
 superficial

00:31:01.460 --> 00:31:03.419
 was

00:31:03.419 --> 00:31:03.659
 only

00:31:03.659 --> 00:31:04.079
 shallow

00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:05.759

00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:06.039
 notice

 said

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:06.699
 it

00:31:06.699 --> 00:31:07.000
 may

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:07.319
 be

00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:09.000

 know

00:31:09.619 --> 00:31:09.879
 for

00:31:09.879 --> 00:31:10.220
 sure

00:31:10.220 --> 00:31:11.319
 what's

00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:11.519
 going

00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:11.779
 on in

00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:15.500
 pretty

00:31:15.500 --> 00:31:15.779
 clear

00:31:15.779 --> 00:31:15.980
 if

00:32:08.100 --> 00:32:08.220
 they

 are

00:32:08.380 --> 00:32:09.080
 floundering

00:32:09.080 --> 00:32:09.720
 spiritually

00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:10.100
 right

00:32:10.100 --> 00:32:10.460
 now

00:32:10.460 --> 00:32:12.279
 what

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:12.460
 should

 we

00:32:12.600 --> 00:32:12.900
 do

00:32:12.900 --> 00:32:14.240
 I

00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:14.360
 want

00:32:14.360 --> 00:32:14.440
 to

00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:14.580
 give

00:32:14.580 --> 00:32:14.720
 us

00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:15.100
 five

00:32:15.100 --> 00:32:15.540
 ways

00:32:15.540 --> 00:32:16.660
 that

00:32:16.660 --> 00:32:16.800
 we

00:32:16.800 --> 00:32:16.980
 can

00:32:16.980 --> 00:32:17.360
 help

00:32:17.360 --> 00:32:18.840
 people

00:32:18.840 --> 00:32:19.240
 in

 that

00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:20.100
 situation

00:32:20.100 --> 00:32:22.360
 five

00:32:22.360 --> 00:32:22.860
 things

 number

00:32:23.800 --> 00:32:24.200
 one

00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:26.200
 don't

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:26.580
 assume

00:32:26.580 --> 00:32:27.279
 automatically

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:27.720
 that it's

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:28.040
 because

00:32:28.040 --> 00:32:28.380
 they were

00:32:28.380 --> 00:32:28.620
 never

00:32:28.620 --> 00:32:29.040
 a true

00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:29.759
 of

00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:30.100
 Jesus

00:32:30.100 --> 00:32:32.279
 it

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:32.540
 could

00:32:32.540 --> 00:32:32.880
 be

00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:33.220
 that

00:32:33.220 --> 00:32:33.440
 like

00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:33.860
 countless

00:32:33.860 --> 00:32:34.300
 people

00:32:34.300 --> 00:32:34.500
 of

00:32:34.500 --> 00:32:34.740
 faith

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:34.860
 in

00:32:34.860 --> 00:32:34.980
 the

00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:35.300
 past

00:32:35.300 --> 00:32:35.640
 they've

00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:35.980
 chosen

00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:36.240
 to

00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:36.460
 turn

00:32:36.460 --> 00:32:36.740
 away

00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:36.940
 or

00:32:36.940 --> 00:32:37.900
 disobey

00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:38.359
 for a

00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:38.700
 time

00:32:38.700 --> 00:32:39.319
 for a

00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:39.620
 season

00:32:39.620 --> 00:32:40.120
 but

00:32:40.120 --> 00:32:40.279

 of

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:41.880
 God

00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:42.099
 will

00:32:42.099 --> 00:32:42.380
 bring

00:32:42.380 --> 00:32:42.599
 them

00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:43.000
 back

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:43.700
 in

 due

00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:44.299
 time

00:32:44.299 --> 00:32:45.400
 as

00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:49.120
 it

 happened

00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:49.579
 to

 King

00:32:49.819 --> 00:32:50.220

 he

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:51.799
 sinned

00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:52.380
 it

00:32:52.380 --> 00:32:52.640
 happened

00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:52.859
 to

00:32:52.859 --> 00:32:53.099
 Peter

 my

00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:41.619
 prayer

00:34:41.619 --> 00:34:41.800
 he

00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:42.019
 said

00:34:42.019 --> 00:34:42.159
 to

00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:42.320

00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:45.500

00:34:45.500 --> 00:34:45.900
 they might

00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:46.139
 be

00:34:46.139 --> 00:34:46.579
 saved

00:34:46.579 --> 00:34:46.900
 God

00:34:46.900 --> 00:34:47.139
 would

00:34:47.139 --> 00:34:47.300
 you

00:34:47.300 --> 00:34:47.679
 save

00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:48.000
 them

00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:51.500
 wherever

00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:51.800
 they're

00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:51.980
 at

00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:52.579
 spiritually

00:34:52.579 --> 00:34:53.320
 God

00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:53.500
 is

00:34:53.500 --> 00:34:53.800
 mighty

 he

00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:54.699
 can

00:34:54.699 --> 00:34:55.119
 harden

00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:55.860
 the

00:34:55.860 --> 00:34:56.139
 human

00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:56.420
 heart

00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:56.599

00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:56.940

00:34:56.940 --> 00:34:57.780
 and

00:34:57.780 --> 00:34:57.920
 he

00:34:57.920 --> 00:34:58.099
 can

00:34:58.099 --> 00:34:58.539
 soften

00:35:00.099 --> 00:35:02.940
 pray

00:35:02.940 --> 00:35:03.119
 that

00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:03.219
 he

00:35:03.219 --> 00:35:03.340
 would

00:35:03.340 --> 00:35:03.500
 be

00:35:03.500 --> 00:35:03.940
 merciful

00:35:03.940 --> 00:35:04.860
 to

00:35:04.860 --> 00:35:05.059
 those

00:35:05.059 --> 00:35:05.360
 people

00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:05.519
 in

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:05.639
 your

00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:05.900
 life

00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:06.119
 that

00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:06.340
 you

00:35:06.340 --> 00:35:06.659
 know

00:35:06.659 --> 00:35:06.880
 are

00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:07.440
 spiritually

00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:08.079
 floundering

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:09.860
 number

00:35:09.860 --> 00:35:10.259
 four

00:35:10.259 --> 00:35:12.420
 go

00:35:12.420 --> 00:35:12.779
 talk

00:35:12.779 --> 00:35:12.920
 to

00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:13.139
 those

00:35:13.139 --> 00:35:13.460
 people

00:35:13.460 --> 00:35:13.659
 in

00:35:13.659 --> 00:35:13.779
 your

00:35:13.779 --> 00:35:14.179
 life

00:35:14.179 --> 00:35:15.239
 who

00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:15.380
 are

00:35:15.380 --> 00:35:15.900
 floundering

00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:18.380
 sometimes

00:35:18.380 --> 00:35:18.739
 we don't

00:35:18.739 --> 00:35:19.039
 want to

00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:19.179
 do

00:35:19.179 --> 00:35:19.480
 that

00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:20.619
 you know

00:35:20.619 --> 00:35:20.779
 that

00:35:20.779 --> 00:35:21.340
 conversation

00:35:21.340 --> 00:35:21.739
 might be

00:35:21.739 --> 00:35:22.219
 uncomfortable

00:35:22.219 --> 00:35:22.679
 and maybe

00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:23.039
 some of

00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:23.380
 us have

00:35:23.380 --> 00:35:23.599
 done

00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:23.719
 it

00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:23.980
 and we've

00:35:23.980 --> 00:35:24.139
 had

00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:24.279
 the

00:35:24.279 --> 00:35:24.860
 conversation

00:35:24.860 --> 00:35:25.159
 but I

00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:25.360
 want to

00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:25.679
 encourage

00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:25.900
 you

00:35:25.900 --> 00:35:26.380
 go

00:35:26.380 --> 00:35:26.699
 talk

00:35:26.699 --> 00:35:26.840
 to

00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:27.059
 those

00:35:27.059 --> 00:35:27.500
 people

00:35:27.500 --> 00:35:28.799
 again

00:35:28.799 --> 00:35:29.880
 and

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:30.159
 again

00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:30.679
 initiate

00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:31.440
 conversations

00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:31.799
 with

00:35:31.799 --> 00:35:31.960
 them

00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:32.299
 ask

00:35:32.299 --> 00:35:32.480
 them

00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:32.679
 how

00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:32.900
 they're

00:35:32.900 --> 00:35:33.259
 doing

00:35:33.259 --> 00:35:34.679
 listen

00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:34.900
 to

00:35:34.900 --> 00:35:35.079
 what

00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:35.279
 they

00:35:35.279 --> 00:35:35.659
 say

00:35:35.659 --> 00:35:37.159
 and

00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:37.380
 try

00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:37.519
 to

00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:37.699
 meet

00:35:37.699 --> 00:35:37.840
 them

00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:38.039
 where

00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:38.539
 they're

00:35:38.539 --> 00:35:38.760
 at

00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:39.039
 with

00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:40.100
 words

00:35:40.100 --> 00:35:40.260
 of

00:35:40.260 --> 00:35:40.820
 encouragement

00:35:40.820 --> 00:35:43.920
 my

00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:44.120
 mind

00:35:44.120 --> 00:35:44.300
 goes

00:35:44.300 --> 00:35:44.539
 back

00:35:44.539 --> 00:35:44.680
 to

00:35:44.680 --> 00:35:44.880
 those

00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:45.200
 words

00:35:45.200 --> 00:35:45.460
 from

00:35:45.460 --> 00:35:45.840
 Hebrews

 chapter

00:35:46.820 --> 00:35:47.340

00:35:47.340 --> 00:35:50.160
 see

00:35:50.160 --> 00:35:50.620
 to it

00:35:50.620 --> 00:35:50.880
 brothers

00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:51.160

00:35:51.160 --> 00:35:51.519
 sisters

00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:51.800
 that

00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:52.120
 none

00:35:52.120 --> 00:35:52.280
 of

00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:52.380
 you

00:35:52.380 --> 00:35:52.600
 has

00:35:52.600 --> 00:35:52.780
 a

00:35:52.780 --> 00:35:53.140
 sinful

00:35:53.140 --> 00:35:53.940
 unbelieving

00:35:53.940 --> 00:35:54.400
 heart

00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:55.019
 that

00:35:55.019 --> 00:35:55.340
 turns

00:35:55.340 --> 00:35:55.620
 away

00:35:55.620 --> 00:35:55.800
 from

00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:55.940
 the

00:35:55.940 --> 00:35:56.140
 living

00:35:56.140 --> 00:35:56.400
 God

00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:56.600
 but

00:35:56.600 --> 00:35:57.440
 encourage

00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:57.700
 one

00:35:57.700 --> 00:35:58.100
 another

00:35:58.100 --> 00:35:59.460
 daily

00:35:59.460 --> 00:36:00.360
 as

00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:00.600
 long

00:36:00.600 --> 00:36:00.740
 as

00:36:00.740 --> 00:36:00.840
 it

00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:00.980
 is

00:36:00.980 --> 00:36:01.200
 called

00:36:01.200 --> 00:36:01.600
 today

00:36:01.600 --> 00:36:02.559
 so

00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:02.740
 that

00:36:02.740 --> 00:36:03.019
 none

00:36:03.019 --> 00:36:03.180
 of

00:36:03.180 --> 00:36:03.280
 you

00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:03.480
 may

00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:03.680
 be

00:36:03.680 --> 00:36:04.100
 hardened

00:36:04.100 --> 00:36:04.400
 by

00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:04.880
 sin's

00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:05.460
 deceitfulness

00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:07.140
 we

00:36:07.139 --> 00:36:07.339
 have

00:36:07.339 --> 00:36:07.619
 come

00:36:07.619 --> 00:36:07.799
 to

00:36:07.799 --> 00:36:08.059
 share

00:36:08.059 --> 00:36:08.239
 in

00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:08.599
 Christ

00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:09.299
 if

00:36:09.299 --> 00:36:09.859
 indeed

00:36:09.859 --> 00:36:10.699
 we

00:36:10.699 --> 00:36:10.980
 hold

00:36:10.980 --> 00:36:11.139
 our

00:36:11.139 --> 00:36:11.539
 original

00:36:11.539 --> 00:36:12.139
 conviction

00:36:12.139 --> 00:36:12.719
 firmly

00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:13.579
 to the

00:36:13.579 --> 00:36:13.920
 end

00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:16.759
 and so

00:36:16.759 --> 00:36:17.219
 initiate

00:36:17.219 --> 00:36:17.500
 those

00:36:17.500 --> 00:36:18.239
 conversations

00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:20.799
 seek to

00:36:20.799 --> 00:36:21.259
 encourage

00:36:21.259 --> 00:36:21.539
 those

00:36:21.539 --> 00:36:22.000
 people

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.119
 it might

00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:24.539
 mean that

00:36:24.539 --> 00:36:24.699
 you

00:36:24.699 --> 00:36:25.379
 try to

00:36:25.379 --> 00:36:25.599
 help

00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:25.759
 them

00:36:25.759 --> 00:36:25.960
 see

00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:26.259
 maybe

00:36:26.259 --> 00:36:26.579
 God

00:36:26.579 --> 00:36:26.839
 is

00:36:26.839 --> 00:36:27.119
 at

00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:27.400
 work

00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:28.000
 in

00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:28.119
 your

00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:28.359
 life

00:36:28.359 --> 00:36:28.539
 for

00:36:28.539 --> 00:36:28.719
 good

00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:28.920
 even

00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:29.099
 though

00:36:29.099 --> 00:36:29.299
 you

00:36:29.299 --> 00:36:29.960
 don't

00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:30.239
 think

00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:30.400
 he

00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:30.779
 is

00:36:30.780 --> 00:36:32.300
 or

00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:32.540
 maybe

00:36:32.540 --> 00:36:32.760
 it

00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:33.080
 means

00:36:33.080 --> 00:36:33.220
 that

00:36:33.220 --> 00:36:33.380
 you

00:36:33.380 --> 00:36:33.820
 humbly

00:36:33.820 --> 00:36:34.019
 and

00:36:34.019 --> 00:36:34.519
 graciously

00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:35.480
 give

00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:35.600
 him

00:36:35.600 --> 00:36:35.760
 a

00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:35.980
 warning

00:36:35.980 --> 00:36:36.260
 like

00:36:36.260 --> 00:36:36.480
 this

00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:36.780
 one

00:36:36.780 --> 00:36:38.200
 say

00:36:38.200 --> 00:36:38.340
 I

00:36:38.340 --> 00:36:38.540
 see

00:36:38.540 --> 00:36:38.680
 you

00:36:38.680 --> 00:36:38.920
 going

00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:39.140
 down

00:36:39.140 --> 00:36:39.300
 a

00:36:39.300 --> 00:36:39.760
 path

00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:40.720
 away

00:36:40.720 --> 00:36:40.980
 from

00:36:40.980 --> 00:36:41.440
 God

00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:42.240
 and

00:36:42.240 --> 00:36:42.420
 it's

00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:42.760
 breaking

00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:43.040
 my

00:36:43.040 --> 00:36:43.460
 heart

00:36:43.460 --> 00:36:44.900
 what's

00:36:44.900 --> 00:36:45.120
 going

00:36:45.120 --> 00:36:45.620
 on

00:36:45.620 --> 00:36:49.380
 number

00:36:49.380 --> 00:36:49.900
 five

00:36:49.900 --> 00:36:52.540
 don't

00:36:52.540 --> 00:36:52.740
 give

00:36:52.740 --> 00:36:53.160
 people

00:36:53.160 --> 00:36:53.380
 who

00:36:53.380 --> 00:36:53.540
 are

00:36:53.540 --> 00:36:54.140
 floundering

00:36:54.140 --> 00:36:55.160
 like

00:36:55.160 --> 00:36:55.580
 this

00:36:55.580 --> 00:36:56.640
 the

00:36:56.640 --> 00:36:57.100
 impression

00:36:57.100 --> 00:36:57.660
 that

00:36:57.660 --> 00:36:57.860
 they're

00:36:57.860 --> 00:36:58.300
 okay

00:36:58.300 --> 00:36:59.940
 and

00:36:59.940 --> 00:37:00.060
 that

00:37:00.060 --> 00:37:00.260
 you're

00:37:00.260 --> 00:37:00.519
 okay

00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:00.760
 with

00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:01.019
 it

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:02.880
 living

00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:03.100
 in

00:37:03.100 --> 00:37:03.620
 persistent

00:37:03.620 --> 00:37:04.120
 sin

00:37:04.120 --> 00:37:04.400
 is

00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:04.560
 one

00:37:04.560 --> 00:37:04.660
 of

00:37:04.660 --> 00:37:04.760
 the

00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:04.960
 most

00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:05.519
 dangerous

00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:06.200
 places

00:37:06.200 --> 00:37:07.700
 to

00:37:07.700 --> 00:37:07.980
 be

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:10.340
 unbelief

00:37:10.340 --> 00:37:10.660
 is

00:37:10.660 --> 00:37:11.180
 spiritually

00:37:11.180 --> 00:37:11.880
 dangerous

00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:12.360
 and

00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:13.500
 I'm

00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:13.600
 going

00:37:13.600 --> 00:37:13.700
 to

00:37:13.700 --> 00:37:13.900
 point

00:37:13.900 --> 00:37:14.000
 you

00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:14.120
 to

00:37:14.120 --> 00:37:14.320
 one

00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:14.880
 passage

00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:15.920
 Hebrews

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:16.300
 10

00:37:16.300 --> 00:37:17.000
 26

00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:19.519
 if

00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:19.720
 we

00:37:19.720 --> 00:37:20.340
 deliberately

00:37:20.340 --> 00:37:20.920
 keep

00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:21.160
 on

00:37:21.160 --> 00:37:21.640
 sinning

00:37:21.640 --> 00:37:22.820
 after

00:37:22.820 --> 00:37:23.060
 we

00:37:23.060 --> 00:37:23.240
 have

00:37:23.240 --> 00:37:23.640
 received

00:37:23.640 --> 00:37:23.860
 the

00:37:23.860 --> 00:37:24.140
 knowledge

00:37:24.140 --> 00:37:24.340
 of

00:37:24.340 --> 00:37:24.480
 the

00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:24.860
 truth

00:37:24.860 --> 00:37:26.400
 no

00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:27.019
 sacrifice

00:37:27.019 --> 00:37:27.420
 for

00:37:27.420 --> 00:37:27.880
 sins

00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:28.400
 is

00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:28.860
 left

00:37:28.860 --> 00:37:30.220
 but

00:37:30.220 --> 00:37:30.440
 only

00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:30.660
 a

00:37:30.660 --> 00:37:30.980
 fearful

00:37:30.980 --> 00:37:31.900
 expectation

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:32.300
 of

00:37:32.300 --> 00:37:32.920
 judgment

00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:33.619
 and

00:37:33.619 --> 00:37:33.820
 of

00:37:33.820 --> 00:37:34.200
 raging

00:37:34.200 --> 00:37:34.740
 fire

00:37:34.740 --> 00:37:35.760
 that

00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:35.920
 will

00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:36.400
 consume

00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:36.599
 the

00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:36.940
 enemies

00:37:36.940 --> 00:37:37.160
 of

00:37:37.160 --> 00:37:37.539
 God

00:37:37.539 --> 00:37:39.400
 anyone

00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:39.640
 who

00:37:39.640 --> 00:37:40.039
 rejected

00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:40.260
 the

00:37:40.260 --> 00:37:40.420
 law

00:37:40.420 --> 00:37:40.579
 of

00:37:40.579 --> 00:37:40.920
 Moses

00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:42.000
 died

00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:42.280
 without

00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:42.760
 mercy

00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:43.820
 on

00:37:43.820 --> 00:37:43.960
 the

00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:44.360
 testimony

00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:44.640
 of

00:37:44.640 --> 00:37:44.840
 two

00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:44.980
 or

00:37:44.980 --> 00:37:45.140
 three

00:37:45.140 --> 00:37:45.619
 witnesses

00:37:45.619 --> 00:38:15.619


00:38:15.619 --> 00:38:45.619


00:38:45.619 --> 00:39:15.619


00:39:15.619 --> 00:39:16.880
 so

00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:17.179
 five

00:39:17.179 --> 00:39:17.619
 things

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:19.099
 don't

00:39:19.099 --> 00:39:19.440
 assume

00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:20.219
 automatically

00:39:20.219 --> 00:39:20.559
 that

00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:20.719
 it's

00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:21.019
 because

00:39:21.019 --> 00:39:21.279
 they

00:39:21.279 --> 00:39:21.679
 were

00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:21.920
 never

00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:22.119
 a

00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:22.279
 true

00:39:22.279 --> 00:39:22.759
 disciple

00:39:22.759 --> 00:39:22.980
 of

00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:23.420
 Jesus

00:39:23.420 --> 00:39:25.019
 don't

00:39:25.019 --> 00:39:25.279
 assume

00:39:25.279 --> 00:39:25.759
 automatically

00:39:25.759 --> 00:39:26.039
 that

00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:26.179
 they

00:39:26.179 --> 00:39:26.460
 always

00:39:26.460 --> 00:39:26.699
 have

00:39:26.699 --> 00:39:26.859
 been

00:39:26.859 --> 00:39:27.000
 a

00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:27.159
 true

00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:27.579
 disciple

00:39:27.579 --> 00:39:27.819
 of

00:39:27.819 --> 00:39:28.199
 Jesus

00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:29.759
 pray

00:39:29.759 --> 00:39:30.019
 for

00:39:30.019 --> 00:39:30.259
 these

00:39:30.259 --> 00:39:30.739
 people

00:39:30.739 --> 00:39:32.219
 talk

00:39:32.219 --> 00:39:32.420
 to

00:39:32.420 --> 00:39:32.639
 these

00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:33.099
 people

00:39:33.099 --> 00:39:34.619
 to

00:39:34.619 --> 00:39:35.099
 encourage

00:39:35.099 --> 00:39:35.440
 them

00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.259
 and

00:39:37.259 --> 00:39:37.480
 don't

00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:37.619
 give

00:39:37.619 --> 00:39:37.739
 them

00:39:37.739 --> 00:39:37.900
 the

00:39:37.900 --> 00:39:38.279
 impression

00:39:38.279 --> 00:39:38.559
 that

00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:38.759
 they're

00:39:38.759 --> 00:39:39.179
 okay

00:39:39.179 --> 00:39:40.500
 in

00:39:40.500 --> 00:39:40.719
 that

00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:41.039
 place

00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:41.519
 forever

00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:44.500
 so in closing

00:39:44.500 --> 00:39:47.880
 may the Lord Jesus

00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:49.139
 have the deepest faith

00:39:49.139 --> 00:39:49.940
 of your heart

00:39:49.940 --> 00:39:52.259
 the deepest faith

00:39:52.259 --> 00:39:52.980
 of your heart

00:39:52.980 --> 00:39:53.820
 and mine

00:39:53.820 --> 00:39:56.059
 and

00:39:56.059 --> 00:39:57.900
 may he give us wisdom

00:39:57.900 --> 00:39:59.579
 and courage

00:39:59.579 --> 00:40:01.280
 to know how to help

00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:03.360
 those of our friends

00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:04.599
 co-workers

00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:05.139
 neighbors

00:40:05.139 --> 00:40:06.460
 family

00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:08.639
 who are spiritually floundering

00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:10.380
 let's pray

00:40:10.380 --> 00:40:18.559
 Lord Jesus

00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:19.700
 these are tough words

00:40:19.700 --> 00:40:22.240
 they get us thinking

00:40:22.240 --> 00:40:23.340
 about heaven and hell

00:40:23.340 --> 00:40:26.559
 they get us thinking

00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:27.700
 about people we love

00:40:27.700 --> 00:40:31.360
 help us Lord

00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:34.619
 help us to hold fast

00:40:34.619 --> 00:40:35.079
 to you

00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:37.640
 each one of us

00:40:37.640 --> 00:40:38.559
 here in this room

00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:42.099
 and make us people

00:40:42.099 --> 00:40:43.239
 who help others

00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:46.139
 you know each person

00:40:46.139 --> 00:40:46.840
 that we know

00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:48.699
 that we wish

00:40:48.699 --> 00:40:49.779
 was walking closely

00:40:49.779 --> 00:40:50.219
 with you

00:40:50.219 --> 00:40:50.900
 and they're not

00:40:50.900 --> 00:40:53.179
 I pray that you would

00:40:53.179 --> 00:40:54.239
 give us words for them

00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:55.340
 even this week

00:40:55.340 --> 00:40:56.340
 that you would

00:40:56.340 --> 00:40:57.679
 show us how we can

00:40:57.679 --> 00:40:58.840
 reach out to them

00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:01.960
 we ask this in Jesus name

00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:03.440
 amen

00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:16.720
 and

00:41:17.099 --> 00:41:19.300
 you

00:41:19.300 --> 00:41:20.099
 you
