00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.459
 Please turn with me to Exodus chapter 9,

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:04.719
 starting in verse 13,

00:00:04.820 --> 00:00:06.740
 going all the way to chapter 10, verse 29.

00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:11.560
 Let me pray for the reading and preaching of God's word.

00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:18.679
 Heavenly Father, we humble ourselves before your word

00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:25.660
 because your word makes us wise unto salvation

00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:27.400
 in Jesus Christ

00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.379
 because your word is truth,

00:00:31.259 --> 00:00:34.679
 because your word is living and active.

00:00:36.839 --> 00:00:39.700
 We wait on you.

00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:46.679
 We expect to hear you speak through in your word.

00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:54.280
 And we pray that as we incline our hearts, our ears to you,

00:00:54.280 --> 00:01:03.380
 that you would teach us to surrender our lives to you,

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.540
 that we might enjoy the freedom, the abundant life,

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.480
 and the grace that is found in Christ alone.

00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.439
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:01:16.820 --> 00:01:17.159
 Amen.

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.920
 Let me read out loud Exodus 9, 13 to 10, 29.

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.820
 Then the Lord said to Moses,

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:28.379
 Rise up early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh

00:01:28.379 --> 00:01:29.219
 and say to him,

00:01:29.820 --> 00:01:32.140
 Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews,

00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.500
 Let my people go that they may serve me.

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.540
 For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself

00:01:40.540 --> 00:01:43.340
 and on your servants and your people

00:01:43.340 --> 00:01:47.140
 so that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.

00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:52.159
 For by now I could have put out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.620
 and you would have been cut off from the earth.

00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:00.400
 But for this purpose I have raised you up to show you my power

00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.200
 so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.360
 You are still exalting yourself against my people

00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:09.500
 and will not let them go.

00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.740
 Behold, about this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall,

00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:19.360
 such as never has been in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.

00:02:20.060 --> 00:02:24.260
 Now therefore send, get your livestock and all that you have in the field

00:02:24.260 --> 00:02:28.060
 into safe shelter for every man and beast that is in the field

00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:31.439
 and is not brought home will die when the hail falls on them.

00:02:32.660 --> 00:02:36.700
 Then whoever feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh

00:02:36.700 --> 00:02:39.300
 hurried his slaves and his livestock into the houses.

00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.660
 But whoever did not pay attention to the word of the Lord

00:02:42.659 --> 00:02:45.039
 left his slaves and his livestock in the field.

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.419
 Then the Lord said to Moses,

00:02:47.979 --> 00:02:49.719
 stretch out your hand toward heaven

00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.539
 so that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt

00:02:52.539 --> 00:02:56.599
 on man and beast and every plant of the field in the land of Egypt.

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.060
 Then Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven

00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:03.639
 and the Lord sent thunder and hail and fire ran down to the earth.

00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.620
 And the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

00:03:06.620 --> 00:03:11.400
 There was hail and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail,

00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:16.259
 very heavy hail, such as had never been in all the land of Egypt

00:03:16.259 --> 00:03:17.539
 since it became a nation.

00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.240
 The hail struck down everything that was in the field

00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.560
 in all the land of Egypt, both man and beast.

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.560
 And the hail struck down every plant of the field

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.500
 and broke every tree of the field.

00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:32.759
 Only in the land of Goshen, where the people of Israel were,

00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:34.040
 was there no hail.

00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.939
 Then Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron and said to them,

00:03:39.419 --> 00:03:41.120
 this time I have sinned.

00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.780
 The Lord is in the right and I and my people are in the wrong.

00:03:45.399 --> 00:03:48.799
 Plead with the Lord, for there has been enough of God's thunder and hail.

00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.299
 I will let you go and you shall stay no longer.

00:03:53.459 --> 00:03:54.479
 Moses said to him,

00:03:54.819 --> 00:03:56.500
 as soon as I have gone out of the city,

00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.739
 I will stretch out my hands to the Lord.

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.599
 The thunder will cease and there will be no more hail

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.919
 so that you may know that the earth is the Lord's.

00:04:05.819 --> 00:04:07.340
 But as for you and your servants,

00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.840
 I know that you do not yet fear the Lord God.

00:04:11.699 --> 00:04:14.000
 The flax and the barley were struck down,

00:04:14.079 --> 00:04:16.899
 for the barley was in the year and the flax was in bud.

00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.740
 But the wheat and the emmer were not struck down,

00:04:19.860 --> 00:04:21.540
 for they are late in coming up.

00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:24.420
 So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh

00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:25.960
 and stretched out his hands to the Lord

00:04:25.960 --> 00:04:27.780
 and the thunder and the hail ceased

00:04:27.780 --> 00:04:30.000
 and the rain no longer poured upon the earth.

00:04:30.780 --> 00:04:33.560
 But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail

00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:34.939
 and the thunder had ceased,

00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:38.400
 he sinned yet again and hardened his heart,

00:04:38.860 --> 00:04:39.740
 he and his servants.

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:41.820
 So the heart of Pharaoh was hardened

00:04:41.820 --> 00:04:44.540
 and he did not let the people of Israel go,

00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.280
 just as the Lord had spoken through Moses.

00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.039
 Then the Lord said to Moses,

00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:53.039
 Go into Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart

00:04:53.039 --> 00:04:54.379
 and the heart of his servants,

00:04:54.619 --> 00:04:57.099
 that I may show these signs of mine among them,

00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.559
 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son

00:04:59.559 --> 00:05:00.339
 and of your grandson

00:05:00.339 --> 00:05:02.659
 how I have dealt harshly with the Egyptians

00:05:02.659 --> 00:05:04.799
 and what signs I have done among them,

00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:07.500
 that you may know that I am the Lord.

00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.879
 So Moses and Aaron went into Pharaoh and said to him,

00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:13.879
 Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews,

00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.560
 How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me?

00:05:17.939 --> 00:05:21.000
 Let my people go that they may serve me.

00:05:21.579 --> 00:05:23.920
 For if you refuse to let my people go,

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.519
 behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country

00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.659
 and they shall cover the face of the land

00:05:29.659 --> 00:05:31.600
 so that no one can see the land.

00:05:32.379 --> 00:05:34.860
 And they shall eat what is left to you after the hail

00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:36.480
 and they shall eat every tree of yours

00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:37.540
 that grows in the field.

00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:39.459
 And they shall fill your houses

00:05:39.459 --> 00:05:41.060
 and the houses of all your servants

00:05:41.060 --> 00:05:42.100
 and of all the Egyptians,

00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:45.360
 as neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen

00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.840
 from the day they came on earth to this day.

00:05:48.640 --> 00:05:50.460
 Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh.

00:05:51.320 --> 00:05:53.420
 Then Pharaoh's servants said to him,

00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:56.939
 How long shall this man be a snare to us?

00:05:57.420 --> 00:05:58.480
 Let the men go,

00:05:59.020 --> 00:06:00.680
 that they may serve the Lord their God.

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.580
 Do you not yet understand that Egypt is ruined?

00:06:05.640 --> 00:06:08.160
 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:09.300
 and he said to them,

00:06:09.300 --> 00:06:11.280
 Go serve the Lord your God.

00:06:11.819 --> 00:06:13.759
 But which ones are to go?

00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:15.040
 Moses said,

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.680
 We will go with our young and our old.

00:06:18.139 --> 00:06:19.860
 We will go with our sons and daughters

00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:22.139
 and with our flocks and herds.

00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.360
 For we must hold a feast to the Lord.

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:26.259
 But he said to them,

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.680
 The Lord be with you if ever I let you

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:30.920
 and your little ones go.

00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.800
 Look, you have some evil purpose in mind.

00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.120
 No, go, the man among you,

00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.360
 and serve the Lord for that is what you are asking.

00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.660
 And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

00:06:42.579 --> 00:06:43.800
 Then the Lord said to Moses,

00:06:44.100 --> 00:06:46.160
 Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.720
 for the locusts

00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.519
 so that they may come upon the land of Egypt

00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.040
 and eat every plant in the land.

00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:54.319
 All that hail has left.

00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.220
 So Moses stretched out his staff

00:06:57.220 --> 00:06:58.620
 over the land of Egypt

00:06:58.620 --> 00:07:01.740
 and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:03.460
 all that day and all that night.

00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:05.680
 When it was morning,

00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:07.900
 the east wind had brought the locusts.

00:07:08.180 --> 00:07:10.500
 The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt

00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:12.420
 and settled on the whole country of Egypt.

00:07:12.840 --> 00:07:14.540
 Such a dense swarm of locusts

00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:16.240
 as had never been before

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.019
 nor ever will be again.

00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.560
 They covered the face of the whole land

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.060
 so that the land was darkened.

00:07:22.460 --> 00:07:24.579
 And they ate all the plants in the land

00:07:24.579 --> 00:07:26.139
 and all the fruit of the trees

00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:27.400
 that the hail had left.

00:07:27.860 --> 00:07:29.800
 Not a green thing remained.

00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:31.800
 Neither tree nor plant of the field

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:33.300
 through all the land of Egypt.

00:07:33.980 --> 00:07:36.680
 Then Pharaoh hastily called Moses and Aaron

00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:37.160
 and said,

00:07:37.740 --> 00:07:39.600
 I have sinned against the Lord your God

00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:40.579
 and against you.

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.199
 Now therefore forgive my sin.

00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:44.840
 Please only this once

00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:46.860
 and plead with the Lord your God

00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:49.319
 only to remove this death from me.

00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:51.920
 So he went out from Pharaoh

00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:53.139
 and pleaded with the Lord

00:07:53.139 --> 00:07:55.019
 and the Lord turned the wind

00:07:55.019 --> 00:07:57.060
 into a very strong west wind

00:07:57.060 --> 00:07:58.780
 which lifted the locusts

00:07:58.779 --> 00:08:00.399
 and drove them into the Red Sea.

00:08:01.019 --> 00:08:02.759
 Not a single locust was left

00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:03.959
 in all the country of Egypt.

00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:06.919
 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart

00:08:06.919 --> 00:08:09.279
 and he did not let the people of Israel go.

00:08:10.459 --> 00:08:11.659
 Then the Lord said to Moses,

00:08:12.099 --> 00:08:13.559
 Stretch out your hand toward heaven

00:08:13.559 --> 00:08:14.919
 that there may be darkness

00:08:14.919 --> 00:08:16.139
 over the land of Egypt,

00:08:16.500 --> 00:08:18.000
 a darkness to be felt.

00:08:18.659 --> 00:08:21.179
 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven

00:08:21.179 --> 00:08:23.039
 and there was pitch darkness

00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.280
 in all the land of Egypt three days.

00:08:25.900 --> 00:08:27.340
 They did not see one another

00:08:27.340 --> 00:08:29.480
 nor did anyone rise from his place

00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.319
 for three days.

00:08:30.640 --> 00:08:31.879
 But all the people of Israel

00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:33.659
 had light where they lived.

00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.560
 Then Pharaoh called Moses and said,

00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:37.940
 Go serve the Lord.

00:08:38.220 --> 00:08:40.500
 Your little ones also may go with you.

00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:42.139
 Only let your flocks

00:08:42.139 --> 00:08:43.879
 and your herds remain behind.

00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:45.500
 But Moses said,

00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:48.019
 You must also let us have sacrifices

00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:48.940
 and burnt offerings

00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:49.920
 that we may sacrifice

00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:51.079
 to the Lord our God.

00:08:51.479 --> 00:08:54.179
 Our livestock also must go with us.

00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:56.099
 Not a hoof shall be left behind

00:08:56.099 --> 00:08:57.719
 for we must take of them

00:08:57.719 --> 00:08:59.439
 to serve the Lord our God.

00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:01.079
 And we do not know with what

00:09:01.079 --> 00:09:01.939
 we must serve the Lord

00:09:01.939 --> 00:09:02.979
 until we arrive there.

00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.000
 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.799
 and he would not let them go.

00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:09.579
 Then Pharaoh said to him,

00:09:10.139 --> 00:09:11.199
 Get away from me.

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:13.639
 Take care never to see my face again.

00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.779
 For on the day you see my face,

00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:16.759
 you shall die.

00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:18.099
 Moses said,

00:09:18.439 --> 00:09:19.139
 As you say,

00:09:19.139 --> 00:09:22.100
 I will not see your face again.

00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:24.580
 This is God's holy

00:09:24.580 --> 00:09:26.019
 and authoritative word.

00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:29.039
 Once in a while,

00:09:29.299 --> 00:09:32.480
 when I'm typing up a sermon at home,

00:09:32.740 --> 00:09:35.220
 my mouse cursor will just

00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:36.860
 get a mind of its own

00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:38.360
 and start moving everywhere

00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:39.199
 on my laptop.

00:09:40.179 --> 00:09:41.620
 And my laptop will sometimes

00:09:41.620 --> 00:09:43.799
 start typing gibberish on its own.

00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.539
 And when this happens,

00:09:46.539 --> 00:09:49.199
 I go to another room in the house

00:09:49.199 --> 00:09:51.919
 and discover that my baby girl

00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.679
 has taken control of my wireless mouse

00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:56.939
 and keyboard while I'm on my laptop.

00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:57.620
 And of course,

00:09:57.740 --> 00:10:01.059
 I immediately reclaim my wireless mouse

00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:02.339
 and keyboard and turn them off

00:10:02.339 --> 00:10:04.000
 because it's my computer.

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.139
 And I don't want someone else,

00:10:06.259 --> 00:10:07.699
 and especially not a one-year-old

00:10:07.699 --> 00:10:09.240
 that has no idea how to use a laptop

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.139
 to control my computer.

00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:14.179
 Because to the extent that the laptop

00:10:14.179 --> 00:10:15.879
 is under her control,

00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.840
 it's not under my control.

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.699
 I can't write what I want to write.

00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:25.659
 I can't read what I want to read.

00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:28.080
 And I can't do what I want to do

00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:28.819
 with the computer.

00:10:29.819 --> 00:10:31.860
 Only one person can truly have

00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:33.379
 control over the laptop.

00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:36.659
 Likewise, only one person

00:10:36.659 --> 00:10:40.000
 can truly have control over our lives.

00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.159
 As Jesus said in Matthew 6, 24,

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.120
 no one can serve two masters,

00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:46.620
 for either he will hate the one

00:10:46.620 --> 00:10:47.480
 and love the other,

00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.240
 or he will be devoted to the one

00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:50.379
 and despise the other.

00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.019
 As Christians, we acknowledge

00:10:53.019 --> 00:10:55.639
 the reality that we are not our own,

00:10:55.700 --> 00:10:57.139
 that we were bought with the price.

00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.460
 So we have to glorify God with our body

00:10:59.460 --> 00:11:00.440
 and with all that we have.

00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.480
 And yet, when it comes to our daily lives,

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:06.060
 often we act like we are our own.

00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:08.120
 We live for ourselves.

00:11:09.160 --> 00:11:10.880
 We make compromises with the world

00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:12.940
 and we seek concessions from God

00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:15.420
 rather than completely surrendering our lives

00:11:15.420 --> 00:11:17.480
 to the will of our master Jesus Christ.

00:11:18.760 --> 00:11:19.960
 But that will not do

00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:21.600
 because this passage teaches us

00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.540
 that God's absolute sovereignty

00:11:23.540 --> 00:11:26.640
 demands our absolute surrender.

00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.440
 So we're going to look at plague seven,

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.600
 the hail, where Pharaoh says,

00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:32.680
 I will not let you go.

00:11:33.260 --> 00:11:35.040
 Plague eight, locusts, where he says,

00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.240
 I will let you go, but not your children.

00:11:37.880 --> 00:11:39.640
 And then plague nine, the darkness,

00:11:39.900 --> 00:11:42.040
 where he says, I will let your children go too,

00:11:42.420 --> 00:11:44.040
 but not your livestock.

00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:45.520
 You see how Pharaoh continues

00:11:45.520 --> 00:11:47.340
 to seek concessions from God.

00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:50.360
 And we're going to see how God responds to that.

00:11:50.680 --> 00:11:52.900
 Ed mentioned in last week's sermon

00:11:52.900 --> 00:11:54.700
 that the first nine plagues of Egypt

00:11:54.700 --> 00:11:56.440
 are a series of triads,

00:11:56.700 --> 00:11:57.800
 three sets of three.

00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:01.579
 And this is now the third and final triad of plagues.

00:12:02.439 --> 00:12:04.079
 And there's a sense of progression

00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:06.659
 and escalation throughout these plagues.

00:12:06.859 --> 00:12:09.319
 And they're arranged in roughly ascending order

00:12:09.319 --> 00:12:10.579
 of severity and scale.

00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:13.819
 And so like the other two triads here,

00:12:14.079 --> 00:12:16.279
 Moses and Aaron go to Pharaoh in the morning.

00:12:17.059 --> 00:12:19.519
 And this refrain comes up again.

00:12:19.659 --> 00:12:23.539
 Let my people go that they may serve me.

00:12:23.539 --> 00:12:26.419
 That happens again in chapter 10, verse three.

00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:30.099
 Let my people go that they may serve me.

00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:32.039
 And that phrase, serve the Lord,

00:12:32.099 --> 00:12:33.819
 is repeated at least six more times

00:12:33.819 --> 00:12:35.459
 in this passage alone.

00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.000
 That's the heart of the passage.

00:12:38.139 --> 00:12:39.659
 That's the heart of the contest here

00:12:39.659 --> 00:12:43.379
 between the Lord, Yahweh, and Pharaoh.

00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.939
 Will you serve Pharaoh, the king of Egypt,

00:12:46.099 --> 00:12:47.719
 or will you serve the Lord,

00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:49.219
 the king of the universe?

00:12:49.220 --> 00:12:53.940
 And notice the demand isn't simply let my people go.

00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:57.320
 It's not let my people go that they may be free.

00:12:58.100 --> 00:13:02.580
 Rather, it's let my people go that they may serve me.

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.080
 As the Old Testament scholar J.D. Levinson writes,

00:13:07.300 --> 00:13:11.220
 Exodus is more about repatriation than emancipation.

00:13:11.220 --> 00:13:16.660
 It is a movement from one form of servitude to another.

00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.940
 Freedom, independence, autonomy is not the goal.

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.160
 Servitude to God, dependence on God,

00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:28.840
 submission to God,

00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.800
 a covenant relationship with God

00:13:31.800 --> 00:13:33.120
 is the goal of the Exodus.

00:13:34.019 --> 00:13:35.920
 And that indeed is the only place

00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:37.740
 where we can truly be free.

00:13:38.660 --> 00:13:41.000
 The same is true for us as Christians.

00:13:41.340 --> 00:13:43.539
 As they were for the Jews in the Old Testament.

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:45.179
 We are those who have turned

00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:48.379
 and from idols to serve the living God.

00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:49.460
 The living and true God.

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.980
 It says in 1 Thessalonians 1, 9.

00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:52.639
 Galatians 5, 13 says,

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:54.279
 You are called to freedom, brothers.

00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:56.460
 Only do not use your freedom

00:13:56.460 --> 00:13:57.879
 as an opportunity for the flesh,

00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.399
 but through love serve one another.

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.139
 Likewise, 1 Peter 2, 16 says,

00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:04.659
 Live as people who are free.

00:14:05.659 --> 00:14:08.379
 Not using your freedom as a cover up for evil,

00:14:08.379 --> 00:14:11.419
 but living as servants of God.

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.559
 That's what our freedom consists in,

00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:15.980
 in servitude to God,

00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:17.679
 in serving God's people.

00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:19.820
 We have been freed to serve.

00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:24.379
 Do we understand that that is our core identity

00:14:24.379 --> 00:14:24.899
 as a Christian,

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:26.759
 that we are a servant of Christ?

00:14:27.139 --> 00:14:28.120
 We have a master.

00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.060
 Every day we are to ask,

00:14:31.179 --> 00:14:33.460
 Lord, what do you have for me to do today?

00:14:34.460 --> 00:14:35.840
 All of our experiences,

00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:37.340
 all of our competencies,

00:14:37.659 --> 00:14:39.179
 all of our relationships,

00:14:39.539 --> 00:14:40.980
 and all of our resources

00:14:40.980 --> 00:14:43.639
 are to be leveraged in the service

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.220
 of the Lord God who purchased us

00:14:46.220 --> 00:14:48.879
 with the precious blood of his son.

00:14:49.940 --> 00:14:51.519
 That's what it means to be a Christian.

00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:55.299
 We can't think whatever we want.

00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:56.759
 We can't say whatever we want.

00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:58.319
 We aren't to buy whatever we want.

00:14:58.399 --> 00:14:59.819
 We don't go wherever we want

00:14:59.819 --> 00:15:03.720
 because Israel, the servant of God,

00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:06.919
 is God's son, God's servant.

00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.000
 And we cannot, therefore, be Pharaoh's servant.

00:15:10.259 --> 00:15:11.539
 And so Moses demands,

00:15:11.699 --> 00:15:14.360
 Let my people go that they may serve me.

00:15:14.439 --> 00:15:15.299
 The Lord demands that.

00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.240
 However, Pharaoh's stubborn refusal to let them go

00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:21.440
 leads to a steady escalation

00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:23.519
 of the God's striking of Egypt.

00:15:24.019 --> 00:15:25.060
 He says in verse 14,

00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:27.960
 For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself

00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.240
 and on your servants and your people

00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:31.060
 so that you may know

00:15:31.060 --> 00:15:33.279
 that there is none like me in all the earth.

00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:35.820
 For by now I could have put out my hand

00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:37.919
 and struck you and your people with pestilence

00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.299
 and you would have been cut off from the earth.

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:42.440
 So up to this point,

00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.580
 the disasters that have come upon Egypt

00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:47.399
 have only affected the surrounding environment,

00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:49.399
 turning the Nile into blood,

00:15:49.539 --> 00:15:51.360
 frogs, gnats, swarm of flies,

00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.399
 and disease on Egyptian livestock.

00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:55.439
 Even the sixth plague,

00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:57.299
 where the boils appeared on Egyptians,

00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:59.840
 it only was skin deep.

00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.699
 But now the plague will become more severe.

00:16:03.059 --> 00:16:03.579
 The Lord says,

00:16:03.699 --> 00:16:06.039
 I will send all my plagues on you yourself.

00:16:07.299 --> 00:16:10.459
 And literally the phrase is on your heart.

00:16:10.699 --> 00:16:11.699
 Now God's saying,

00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.439
 I'm going to strike you where it really hurts.

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.480
 What's on your very heart.

00:16:17.300 --> 00:16:18.600
 This is the first time,

00:16:18.700 --> 00:16:19.040
 the hail,

00:16:19.300 --> 00:16:19.640
 the plague,

00:16:19.740 --> 00:16:21.360
 where people will start to die.

00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:26.860
 And this shows God's forbearance up to this point,

00:16:26.900 --> 00:16:28.800
 how patient he is to preserve the people

00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:29.760
 made in the image of God.

00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:33.740
 The plague is directly tied to Pharaoh's refusal

00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:35.340
 to let the Israel go

00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:38.160
 because he refuses to send the Israelites out.

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:38.900
 And so God says,

00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:40.320
 I will put out my hand

00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.460
 and send this plague upon you.

00:16:44.520 --> 00:16:47.420
 And what is the ultimate reason for these plagues?

00:16:47.820 --> 00:16:49.980
 If God simply wanted to punish the Egyptians

00:16:49.980 --> 00:16:51.020
 for their wickedness,

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:54.200
 he could have simply wiped them off the face of the earth.

00:16:55.160 --> 00:16:57.500
 He didn't need to bring plague after plague,

00:16:57.680 --> 00:16:59.080
 gradually escalating the signs.

00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:02.180
 But God has his reasons for doing it this way.

00:17:02.260 --> 00:17:04.100
 He says in verses 14 to 16,

00:17:04.099 --> 00:17:06.740
 so that you may know

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:09.519
 that there is none like me in all the earth.

00:17:12.179 --> 00:17:13.459
 He could have done that,

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:14.019
 but he didn't.

00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:15.939
 He's using these plagues

00:17:15.939 --> 00:17:17.539
 to reveal his power

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:19.779
 and his name to the end of the earth.

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.980
 So that the Egyptians too may know

00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:25.039
 that there is none like him in all the earth.

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.919
 They are miracles that signify,

00:17:29.019 --> 00:17:30.599
 they point to God

00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:32.240
 and reveal who he is.

00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:35.400
 Remember what Pharaoh defiantly said to God

00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:36.640
 in chapter five, verse two,

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:38.039
 who is the Lord

00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:40.019
 that I should obey his voice

00:17:40.019 --> 00:17:41.500
 and let Israel go?

00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.319
 I do not know the Lord

00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:44.120
 and moreover,

00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:46.019
 I will not let Israel go.

00:17:47.019 --> 00:17:48.000
 Ever since then,

00:17:48.059 --> 00:17:49.620
 God has been repeatedly saying

00:17:49.620 --> 00:17:50.859
 sign after sign

00:17:50.859 --> 00:17:52.319
 that he is doing this

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:54.400
 so that you shall know

00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.039
 that I am the Lord.

00:17:57.380 --> 00:17:59.079
 But this declaration

00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:00.700
 also becomes progressively

00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:01.980
 more expansive.

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:03.680
 Formerly he wanted

00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.120
 simply an acknowledgement

00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:06.480
 of him as the Lord.

00:18:06.600 --> 00:18:08.519
 Now he's seeking acknowledgement

00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:09.920
 of his exclusivity

00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:11.140
 and that he is the Lord

00:18:11.140 --> 00:18:12.160
 not only over Israel

00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.600
 but over all the land of Egypt.

00:18:16.580 --> 00:18:17.799
 God's sovereign control

00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:18.480
 is such that

00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.620
 even this royally stubborn Pharaoh

00:18:21.620 --> 00:18:24.180
 has been raised up by God,

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:26.360
 sustained by God

00:18:26.360 --> 00:18:27.460
 and brought to this point.

00:18:27.740 --> 00:18:28.100
 He says,

00:18:28.099 --> 00:18:29.399
 for this purpose

00:18:29.399 --> 00:18:31.319
 to show you my power

00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:32.740
 so that my name

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:33.359
 be proclaimed

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.240
 in all the earth

00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.539
 that God raised up Pharaoh.

00:18:37.899 --> 00:18:39.659
 Even those who resist

00:18:39.659 --> 00:18:41.000
 and oppose God's will

00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:41.500
 in the end

00:18:41.500 --> 00:18:43.439
 only serve to display

00:18:43.439 --> 00:18:44.480
 more of God's glory.

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:46.319
 We can take comfort

00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:47.019
 in this reality

00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:47.980
 as we serve the Lord

00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:50.000
 because when we face opposition

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:51.779
 from those with authority

00:18:51.779 --> 00:18:53.459
 and power far greater

00:18:53.459 --> 00:18:54.240
 than ourselves,

00:18:54.500 --> 00:18:55.519
 we can rest assured

00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:56.199
 that the Lord

00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:57.299
 is sovereign over all

00:18:57.299 --> 00:18:59.259
 and we'll use even them

00:18:59.259 --> 00:19:00.500
 to show his power.

00:19:01.840 --> 00:19:02.920
 And for believers

00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:04.019
 whose life mission

00:19:04.019 --> 00:19:05.440
 is to glorify God,

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:07.100
 this is comforting truth indeed

00:19:07.100 --> 00:19:08.519
 because our plans

00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:09.259
 might be thwarted.

00:19:10.840 --> 00:19:13.000
 Our plans might not go

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:14.440
 as we would like them to

00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:15.500
 but we can take heart

00:19:15.500 --> 00:19:16.580
 knowing that still

00:19:16.580 --> 00:19:17.940
 God's going to be glorified.

00:19:18.819 --> 00:19:20.660
 God's plans cannot be thwarted

00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:22.840
 and his name will be proclaimed

00:19:22.840 --> 00:19:24.319
 in all the earth

00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:25.740
 and we can rest assured

00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:26.859
 of that even when things

00:19:26.859 --> 00:19:27.740
 are going awry

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:29.059
 according to our estimation.

00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:31.279
 So the seventh plague

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:32.339
 of hail ensues

00:19:32.339 --> 00:19:33.519
 and we see in verse 19

00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:34.919
 that God's merciful

00:19:34.919 --> 00:19:37.639
 even to the Egyptians

00:19:37.639 --> 00:19:38.599
 in his judgment.

00:19:38.859 --> 00:19:39.220
 He says,

00:19:39.899 --> 00:19:40.839
 now therefore send,

00:19:40.980 --> 00:19:41.659
 get your livestock

00:19:41.659 --> 00:19:42.679
 and all that you have

00:19:42.679 --> 00:19:43.159
 in the field

00:19:43.159 --> 00:19:44.059
 into safe shelter.

00:19:44.539 --> 00:19:46.059
 For every man and beast

00:19:46.059 --> 00:19:46.899
 that is in the field

00:19:46.899 --> 00:19:47.939
 and is not brought home

00:19:47.939 --> 00:19:48.639
 will die

00:19:48.639 --> 00:19:50.299
 when the hail falls on them.

00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:52.960
 So God's giving the Egyptians

00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:53.880
 a way to be spared

00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:54.400
 from the hail.

00:19:54.740 --> 00:19:55.779
 He's being merciful

00:19:55.779 --> 00:19:56.519
 even to them

00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:57.400
 in his warning.

00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:58.980
 And it says

00:19:58.980 --> 00:20:00.259
 in verses 20 to 21

00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:01.059
 that whoever feared

00:20:01.059 --> 00:20:01.759
 the word of the Lord

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:02.960
 among the servants of Pharaoh

00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:03.860
 hurried his slaves

00:20:03.860 --> 00:20:04.620
 and his livestock

00:20:04.620 --> 00:20:05.720
 into the houses.

00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:07.700
 So this is where

00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:08.680
 we begin to see

00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:09.519
 the cracks

00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:11.000
 in the Egyptian ranks.

00:20:11.860 --> 00:20:12.680
 So far

00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:14.200
 they had all been united.

00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:15.259
 They had a united front.

00:20:15.380 --> 00:20:16.519
 They'd been following Pharaoh

00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:17.140
 and his

00:20:17.140 --> 00:20:18.519
 and whatever he said.

00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:19.740
 But here

00:20:19.740 --> 00:20:20.340
 they are instead

00:20:20.340 --> 00:20:21.279
 of heeding Pharaoh,

00:20:21.500 --> 00:20:22.019
 they're heeding

00:20:22.019 --> 00:20:23.019
 the word of the Lord

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:24.139
 and actually listening

00:20:24.139 --> 00:20:24.700
 to the warning

00:20:24.700 --> 00:20:25.379
 and hiding

00:20:25.379 --> 00:20:26.799
 their belongings,

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:27.779
 their livestock

00:20:27.779 --> 00:20:29.839
 into the field.

00:20:30.180 --> 00:20:30.799
 And before

00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:32.079
 the Egyptian magicians

00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:33.240
 tried to replicate

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.700
 what Moses has done

00:20:34.700 --> 00:20:36.220
 had succeeded

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:37.859
 in the first two instances

00:20:37.859 --> 00:20:39.359
 but they had failed

00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:41.099
 and by the third plague

00:20:41.099 --> 00:20:41.619
 of the gnats

00:20:41.619 --> 00:20:42.240
 they claimed

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:43.799
 this is the finger of God

00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:44.859
 and now

00:20:44.859 --> 00:20:45.779
 even the servants

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:46.420
 of Pharaoh

00:20:46.420 --> 00:20:47.160
 are listening

00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:48.119
 to the word of the Lord

00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:49.539
 and in fear

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:51.019
 responding to the warning.

00:20:52.019 --> 00:20:55.039
 And verses 25 to 26

00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:55.900
 tell us what happened

00:20:55.900 --> 00:20:57.400
 in the aftermath.

00:20:57.740 --> 00:20:58.799
 The hail struck down

00:20:58.799 --> 00:20:59.539
 everything that was

00:20:59.539 --> 00:21:00.019
 in the field

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:01.099
 in all the land of Egypt

00:21:01.099 --> 00:21:02.480
 both man and beast

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:03.879
 and the hail struck down

00:21:03.879 --> 00:21:05.019
 every plant of the field

00:21:05.019 --> 00:21:06.039
 and broke every tree

00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:06.559
 of the field.

00:21:07.180 --> 00:21:08.259
 Only in the land

00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:08.879
 of Goshen

00:21:08.879 --> 00:21:09.559
 where the people

00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:10.379
 of Israel were

00:21:10.379 --> 00:21:12.139
 was there no hail.

00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:14.099
 It uses

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:16.180
 the word fire

00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:16.779
 and thunder

00:21:16.779 --> 00:21:17.579
 interchangeably

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:18.339
 so it seems like

00:21:18.339 --> 00:21:19.400
 it's thunder and lightning.

00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:20.280
 there's a

00:21:20.280 --> 00:21:21.140
 it's a

00:21:21.140 --> 00:21:21.420
 it's a

00:21:21.420 --> 00:21:22.340
 it's a thunderstorm

00:21:22.340 --> 00:21:23.940
 that comes with

00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:25.680
 huge hail

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:26.380
 that's

00:21:26.380 --> 00:21:27.220
 big enough

00:21:27.220 --> 00:21:27.620
 to

00:21:27.620 --> 00:21:28.300
 to kill

00:21:28.300 --> 00:21:28.960
 livestock

00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:29.660
 and to kill

00:21:29.660 --> 00:21:30.300
 a man

00:21:30.300 --> 00:21:31.660
 and

00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:32.600
 and it's a

00:21:32.600 --> 00:21:33.340
 it's a

00:21:33.340 --> 00:21:33.360
 it's a

00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:33.840
 it's a

00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:33.860
 it's a

00:21:33.860 --> 00:21:33.880
 it's a

00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:35.080
 it's a

00:21:35.080 --> 00:21:35.259
 it's a

00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:35.280
 it's a

00:21:35.280 --> 00:21:35.300
 it's a

00:21:35.300 --> 00:21:35.340
 it's a

00:21:35.340 --> 00:21:35.440
 it's a

00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:35.560
 it's a

00:21:35.560 --> 00:21:35.580
 it's a

00:21:35.580 --> 00:21:36.160
 it's a

00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:36.800
 a lot of

00:21:36.800 --> 00:21:36.980
 a lot of people

00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:37.560
 will be asking

00:21:37.560 --> 00:21:37.960
 themselves

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:38.320
 well

00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:38.960
 is this

00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:39.200
 the end

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:39.680
 of the world

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:40.940
 so that

00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:41.220
 kind of

00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:41.440
 hail

00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:42.200
 comes down

00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:42.580
 and

00:21:42.580 --> 00:21:42.860
 and

00:21:42.860 --> 00:21:43.120
 and

00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:43.500
 pharaoh

00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:44.080
 can't

00:21:44.080 --> 00:21:44.680
 stand it

00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:45.320
 and so he

00:21:45.320 --> 00:21:46.180
 he

00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:47.259
 seems to

00:21:47.259 --> 00:21:47.560
 repent

00:21:47.560 --> 00:21:48.279
 he says

00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:48.660
 I have

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:49.799
 sinned

00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:50.420
 he says

00:21:50.420 --> 00:21:50.920
 the lord

00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:51.360
 is in the

00:21:51.360 --> 00:21:51.560
 right

00:21:51.560 --> 00:21:52.019
 I am in

00:21:52.019 --> 00:21:52.420
 the wrong

00:21:52.420 --> 00:21:54.620
 so far

00:21:54.620 --> 00:21:55.019
 so good

00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:55.299
 because

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:55.860
 recognizing

00:21:55.860 --> 00:21:56.220
 that is

00:21:56.220 --> 00:21:56.600
 the initial

00:21:56.600 --> 00:21:56.940
 step

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:57.180
 toward

00:21:57.180 --> 00:21:57.620
 repentance

00:21:57.620 --> 00:21:58.680
 and faith

00:21:58.680 --> 00:21:59.140
 in God

00:21:59.140 --> 00:22:00.539
 there are

00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:01.060
 people in

00:22:01.060 --> 00:22:01.460
 this world

00:22:01.460 --> 00:22:01.880
 who live

00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:02.400
 their entire

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:03.019
 lives

00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:03.759
 pointing

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.340
 fingers

00:22:04.340 --> 00:22:05.000
 at God

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:05.660
 and blaming

00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:06.120
 God

00:22:06.120 --> 00:22:07.120
 thinking

00:22:07.120 --> 00:22:07.440
 that

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.220
 they're

00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:08.440
 in the

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:08.700
 right

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:09.039
 and that

00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:09.340
 God

00:22:09.340 --> 00:22:09.660
 is in

00:22:09.660 --> 00:22:10.019
 the wrong

00:22:10.019 --> 00:22:10.759
 thinking

00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:10.980
 that

00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:11.240
 God

00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:11.620
 is not

00:22:11.620 --> 00:22:11.920
 done

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:12.220
 right

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:12.460
 by

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:12.779
 them

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:13.840
 but

00:22:13.840 --> 00:22:14.019
 this

00:22:14.019 --> 00:22:14.180
 is

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:14.600
 backwards

00:22:14.600 --> 00:22:15.600
 the lord

00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:15.920
 is the

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:16.480
 benevolent

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:16.860
 creator

00:22:16.860 --> 00:22:17.200
 of all

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:17.600
 the earth

00:22:17.600 --> 00:22:18.299
 he is a

00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:18.680
 source

00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:18.960
 and the

00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:19.180
 giver

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:19.920
 of all

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:20.420
 good

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:20.980
 gifts

00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:21.799
 and he

00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:22.240
 has given

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:22.799
 common

00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:23.200
 grace

00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:23.759
 to all

00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:24.240
 of humanity

00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:24.680
 despite

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:25.340
 the fact

00:22:25.340 --> 00:22:25.900
 that we

00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:26.380
 are

00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:27.039
 hell

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.460
 deserving

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:27.900
 sinners

00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:28.200
 who are

00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:28.680
 guilty

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.220
 of treason

00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:29.559
 against

00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:29.819
 our

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:30.019
 king

00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:31.480
 it is

00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:31.740
 we

00:22:31.740 --> 00:22:31.980
 who

00:22:31.980 --> 00:22:32.240
 have

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:32.480
 not

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:32.759
 done

00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:33.039
 right

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:33.259
 by

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:33.600
 him

00:22:33.600 --> 00:22:34.640
 and

00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:34.980
 yet

00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:37.819
 pharaoh

00:22:37.819 --> 00:22:38.019
 here

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:38.379
 says

00:22:38.379 --> 00:22:39.539
 people

00:22:39.539 --> 00:22:39.939
 sometimes

00:22:39.939 --> 00:22:40.319
 refuse

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:40.500
 to

00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:40.839
 acknowledge

00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:41.159
 that

00:22:41.159 --> 00:22:41.740
 and so

00:22:41.740 --> 00:22:41.980
 this

00:22:41.980 --> 00:22:42.379
 is the

00:22:42.379 --> 00:22:43.000
 beginning

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:43.240
 of

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:43.559
 repentance

00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:43.939
 this is

00:22:43.939 --> 00:22:44.359
 the first

00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:44.599
 step

00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:44.899
 toward

00:22:44.899 --> 00:22:45.200
 God

00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:45.759
 I

00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:46.000
 have

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:46.500
 sinned

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:47.399
 the lord

00:22:47.399 --> 00:22:47.740
 is in

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:48.139
 the right

00:22:48.139 --> 00:22:48.839
 and I

00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:49.099
 and my

00:22:49.099 --> 00:22:49.359
 people

00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:49.799
 are in

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:50.779
 the wrong

00:22:50.779 --> 00:22:52.619
 pharaoh's

00:22:52.619 --> 00:22:53.079
 plea to

00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:53.419
 stop

00:22:53.419 --> 00:22:54.119
 the hail

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:54.779
 is

00:22:54.779 --> 00:22:55.539
 heated

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:56.200
 Moses

00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:57.339
 pleads

00:22:57.339 --> 00:22:57.619
 with the

00:22:57.619 --> 00:22:57.879
 lord

00:22:57.879 --> 00:22:58.460
 and

00:22:58.460 --> 00:22:59.779
 he says

00:22:59.779 --> 00:23:00.019
 he will

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:00.240
 plead

00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:00.460
 with

00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:00.819
 the god

00:23:00.819 --> 00:23:01.039
 that

00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:01.259
 the

00:23:01.259 --> 00:23:01.579
 thunderstorm

00:23:01.579 --> 00:23:02.279
 and

00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:02.460
 hail

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:02.679
 might

00:23:02.679 --> 00:23:03.059
 cease

00:23:03.059 --> 00:23:05.839
 but

00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:06.039
 there

00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:06.119
 are

00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:06.359
 a couple

00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:06.700
 clues

00:23:06.700 --> 00:23:06.899
 here

00:23:06.899 --> 00:23:07.039
 in

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.339
 narrative

00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:07.559
 that

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:07.839
 tells

00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:08.000
 us

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:08.159
 that

00:23:08.159 --> 00:23:08.440
 Pharaoh

00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:08.659
 is

00:23:08.659 --> 00:23:08.879
 not

00:23:08.879 --> 00:23:09.179
 going

00:23:09.179 --> 00:23:09.339
 to

00:23:09.339 --> 00:23:09.579
 keep

00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:09.819
 his

00:23:09.819 --> 00:23:10.279
 promise

00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:10.700
 again

00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:11.960
 because

00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:12.259
 Moses

00:23:12.259 --> 00:23:12.500
 says

00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:12.659
 I

00:23:12.659 --> 00:23:12.879
 know

00:23:12.879 --> 00:23:13.059
 that

00:23:13.059 --> 00:23:13.220
 you

00:23:13.220 --> 00:23:13.399
 do

00:23:13.399 --> 00:23:13.599
 not

00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:14.099
 fear

00:23:14.099 --> 00:23:14.679
 the

00:23:14.679 --> 00:23:14.960
 lord

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:15.419
 god

00:23:15.419 --> 00:23:16.279
 and

00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:16.419
 we

00:23:16.419 --> 00:23:16.679
 also

00:23:16.679 --> 00:23:16.859
 get

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:16.980
 a

00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:17.480
 parenthetical

00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:17.740
 note

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:17.859
 in

00:23:17.859 --> 00:23:18.059
 verses

00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:18.519
 31

00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:18.679
 to

00:23:18.679 --> 00:23:19.039
 32

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:20.019
 that

00:23:20.019 --> 00:23:20.659
 the

00:23:20.659 --> 00:23:21.159
 flax

00:23:21.159 --> 00:23:21.339
 and

00:23:21.339 --> 00:23:21.480
 the

00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:21.779
 barley

00:23:21.779 --> 00:23:22.099
 because

00:23:22.099 --> 00:23:22.259
 they

00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:22.379
 were

00:23:22.379 --> 00:23:22.679
 already

00:23:22.679 --> 00:23:22.980
 nearly

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:23.279
 fully

00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:23.720
 grown

00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:24.079
 were

00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:24.440
 totally

00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:24.960
 destroyed

00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:25.579
 but

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:25.740
 the

00:23:25.740 --> 00:23:25.960
 wheat

00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:26.139
 and

00:23:26.139 --> 00:23:26.259
 the

00:23:26.259 --> 00:23:26.960
 other

00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:27.740
 crops

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.259
 were

00:23:28.259 --> 00:23:28.579
 not

00:23:28.579 --> 00:23:28.960
 yet

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.679
 grown

00:23:33.059 --> 00:23:33.940
 still

00:23:33.940 --> 00:23:34.159
 have

00:23:34.159 --> 00:23:34.460
 some

00:23:34.460 --> 00:23:34.839
 food

00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:35.059
 that

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:35.179
 they

00:23:35.179 --> 00:23:35.359
 can

00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:35.799
 survive

00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:36.119
 on

00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:37.019
 and

00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:37.220
 so

00:23:37.220 --> 00:23:37.500
 not

00:23:37.500 --> 00:23:38.039
 surprisingly

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:38.419
 when

00:23:38.419 --> 00:23:38.859
 Moses

00:23:38.859 --> 00:23:39.579
 prays

00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:39.679
 to

00:23:39.679 --> 00:23:40.000
 God

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:40.200
 and

00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:40.639
 God

00:23:40.639 --> 00:23:41.200
 stops

00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:41.579
 the

00:23:41.579 --> 00:23:41.879
 hail

00:23:41.879 --> 00:23:42.440
 he

00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:42.700
 says

00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:43.139
 Pharaoh

00:23:43.139 --> 00:23:43.700
 sinned

00:23:43.700 --> 00:23:43.879
 yet

00:23:43.879 --> 00:23:44.259
 again

00:23:44.259 --> 00:23:44.440
 and

00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:44.759
 hardened

00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:45.000
 his

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:45.279
 heart

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.579
 he

00:23:45.579 --> 00:23:45.720
 and

00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:45.859
 his

00:23:45.859 --> 00:23:46.259
 servants

00:23:46.259 --> 00:23:47.720
 and

00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:47.799
 he

00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:47.919
 did

00:23:47.919 --> 00:23:48.099

00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:51.159
 I

00:23:51.159 --> 00:23:51.559
 think

00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:51.779
 we've

00:23:51.779 --> 00:23:51.980

00:23:53.980 --> 00:23:54.299
 means

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:54.480
 to

00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:55.039
 strengthen

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:55.879
 it

00:23:55.879 --> 00:23:56.099
 means

00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:56.279
 to

00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:56.839
 strengthen

00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:57.500
 someone's

00:23:57.500 --> 00:23:58.059
 resolve

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:58.819
 so

00:23:58.819 --> 00:23:59.639
 Pharaoh's

00:23:59.639 --> 00:24:00.579
 doubling

00:24:00.579 --> 00:24:01.079
 down

00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:01.700
 on his

00:24:03.779 --> 00:24:04.460
 and

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:04.659
 going

00:24:04.659 --> 00:24:04.940
 back

00:24:04.940 --> 00:24:05.099
 on

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:05.240
 his

00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:05.759
 promise

00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:06.319
 to

00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:08.299
 yet

00:24:08.299 --> 00:24:08.819
 God's

00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:10.339
 also

00:24:10.339 --> 00:24:10.639
 because

00:24:10.639 --> 00:24:10.859
 he

00:24:10.859 --> 00:24:11.179
 says

 God

00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:19.440
 is

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:19.599
 the

 that's

00:24:22.619 --> 00:24:22.759
 made

 to

00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:43.380
 him

00:27:43.380 --> 00:27:43.620
 how

00:27:43.620 --> 00:27:44.000
 long

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:44.259
 shall

00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:44.720
 man

00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:44.860
 be

00:27:44.860 --> 00:27:45.019
 a

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:45.299
 snare

00:27:45.299 --> 00:27:45.519
 to

00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:45.840
 us

00:27:45.840 --> 00:27:46.480
 let

00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:46.700
 the

00:27:46.700 --> 00:27:47.019
 men

00:27:47.019 --> 00:27:47.420
 go

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:47.900
 that

00:27:47.900 --> 00:27:48.019
 they

00:27:48.019 --> 00:27:48.180
 may

00:27:48.180 --> 00:27:48.519
 serve

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:48.700
 the

00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:48.920
 Lord

00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:49.100
 their

00:27:49.100 --> 00:27:49.519
 God

00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:49.819
 do

00:27:49.819 --> 00:27:50.100
 not

00:27:50.100 --> 00:27:50.340
 yet

00:27:50.340 --> 00:27:50.940
 understand

00:27:50.940 --> 00:27:51.180
 that

00:27:51.180 --> 00:27:51.559
 Egypt

00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:52.100
 is

00:27:52.100 --> 00:27:52.539
 ruined

00:27:52.539 --> 00:27:53.799
 so

00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:54.000
 this

00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:54.180
 is

00:27:54.180 --> 00:27:54.420
 a

00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:54.759
 vote

00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:54.880
 of

00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:55.059
 no

00:27:55.059 --> 00:27:55.519
 confidence

00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:56.160
 for

00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:56.500
 Pharaoh

00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:57.600
 they're

00:27:57.600 --> 00:27:57.779
 going

00:27:57.779 --> 00:27:57.940
 to

00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:58.120
 him

00:27:58.120 --> 00:27:58.279
 and

00:27:58.279 --> 00:27:58.460
 saying

00:27:58.460 --> 00:27:58.960
 under

00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.299
 your

00:27:59.299 --> 00:27:59.779
 leadership

00:27:59.779 --> 00:28:00.200
 Pharaoh

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:00.539
 due

00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:00.700
 to

00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:01.019
 your

00:28:01.019 --> 00:28:01.880
 stubbornness

00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:02.539
 Egypt

00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:03.000
 has

00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:03.240
 been

00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:03.700
 ruined

00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:04.539
 so

00:28:04.539 --> 00:28:04.759
 now

00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:05.080
 do

00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:05.559
 something

00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:05.879
 about

00:28:05.879 --> 00:28:06.139
 it

00:28:06.139 --> 00:28:07.159
 and

00:28:07.159 --> 00:28:07.339
 their

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:07.779
 solution

00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:08.339
 is

00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:09.079
 cunning

00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:10.220
 as

00:28:10.220 --> 00:28:10.899
 much

00:28:10.899 --> 00:28:11.019
 as

00:28:11.019 --> 00:28:11.099
 it

00:28:11.099 --> 00:28:11.220
 is

00:28:11.220 --> 00:28:11.579
 diplomatic

00:28:11.579 --> 00:28:11.960
 they

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:12.179
 say

00:28:12.179 --> 00:28:12.819
 let

00:28:12.819 --> 00:28:13.039
 the

00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:13.339
 men

00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:13.679
 go

00:28:13.679 --> 00:28:14.279
 that

00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:14.519
 they

00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:14.740
 may

00:28:14.740 --> 00:28:15.039
 serve

00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:15.199
 the

00:28:15.199 --> 00:28:15.359
 Lord

00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:15.579
 their

00:28:15.579 --> 00:28:15.919
 God

00:28:15.919 --> 00:28:16.919
 the

00:28:16.919 --> 00:28:17.179
 Hebrew

00:28:17.179 --> 00:28:17.599
 word

00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:17.939
 here

00:28:17.939 --> 00:28:18.199
 for

00:28:18.199 --> 00:28:18.599
 men

00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:18.899
 here

00:28:18.899 --> 00:28:19.799
 doesn't

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.679
 necessarily

00:28:20.679 --> 00:28:21.159
 refer

00:28:21.159 --> 00:28:21.480
 to

00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:21.879
 adult

00:28:21.879 --> 00:28:22.460
 males

00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:23.319
 only

00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:23.659
 but

00:28:23.659 --> 00:28:23.960
 it's

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:24.299
 often

00:28:24.299 --> 00:28:24.759
 used

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:25.539
 inclusively

00:28:25.539 --> 00:28:25.740
 to

00:28:25.740 --> 00:28:25.960
 refer

00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:26.159
 to

00:28:26.159 --> 00:28:26.500
 men

00:28:26.500 --> 00:28:27.019
 and

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:27.559
 women

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:28.439
 so

00:28:28.439 --> 00:28:28.559
 it

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:28.659
 can

00:28:28.659 --> 00:28:28.799
 be

00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:29.359
 translated

00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:30.199
 people

00:28:30.199 --> 00:28:31.259
 that's

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:31.799
 exactly

00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:32.019
 how

00:28:32.019 --> 00:28:32.199
 it's

00:28:32.199 --> 00:28:32.439
 used

00:28:32.439 --> 00:28:32.579
 in

00:28:32.579 --> 00:28:32.759
 Exodus

00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:33.220
 35

00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:33.679
 12

00:28:33.679 --> 00:28:33.919
 it

00:28:33.919 --> 00:28:34.299
 refers

00:28:34.299 --> 00:28:34.480
 to

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:34.720
 both

00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:35.000
 men

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:35.140
 and

00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:35.339
 women

00:28:35.339 --> 00:28:35.460
 in

00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:35.620
 that

00:28:35.620 --> 00:28:36.120
 context

00:28:36.120 --> 00:28:36.900
 so

00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:37.200
 the

00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:37.720
 contrast

00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:37.980
 here

00:28:37.980 --> 00:28:38.099
 is

00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:38.279
 not

00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:38.680
 between

00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:39.019
 men

00:32:23.159 --> 00:32:23.299
 be

00:32:23.299 --> 00:32:23.519

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:23.679
 you

00:32:23.679 --> 00:32:23.839
 but

00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:24.059
 since

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:24.219
 I

00:32:24.219 --> 00:32:24.339
 will

00:32:24.339 --> 00:32:24.500
 never

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:24.699
 let

00:32:24.699 --> 00:32:24.799
 you

00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:25.000
 go

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:25.139
 that

00:32:25.139 --> 00:32:25.259
 means

00:32:25.259 --> 00:32:25.399
 the

00:32:25.399 --> 00:32:25.559
 Lord

00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:25.699
 is

 going

00:32:26.159 --> 00:32:26.279
 to

00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:26.480
 be

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:26.819
 with

00:32:26.819 --> 00:32:27.119
 you

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:27.919
 but

00:32:27.919 --> 00:32:28.139
 little

00:32:28.139 --> 00:32:28.459
 does

00:32:28.459 --> 00:32:28.799
 Pharaoh

00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:29.259
 realize

00:32:29.259 --> 00:32:29.539
 that

00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:29.799
 soon

00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:29.959
 he

00:32:29.959 --> 00:32:30.319
 will

00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:30.859
 fact

00:32:30.859 --> 00:32:31.139
 let

00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:41.199
 Yahweh

00:32:41.199 --> 00:32:41.799
 means

00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:42.579
 the

00:32:42.579 --> 00:32:42.919
 Lord

00:32:42.919 --> 00:32:44.019
 will

00:32:44.019 --> 00:32:44.359
 be

00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:44.779
 with

00:32:44.779 --> 00:32:45.379
 you

00:32:45.379 --> 00:32:46.719
 so

00:32:46.719 --> 00:32:46.919
 due

00:32:46.919 --> 00:32:47.039
 to

00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:47.599
 Pharaoh's

00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:48.119
 continued

00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:48.639
 sinful

00:32:48.639 --> 00:32:49.139
 resistance

00:32:49.139 --> 00:32:49.399
 the

00:32:49.399 --> 00:32:49.679
 eighth

00:32:49.679 --> 00:32:50.399
 plague

00:32:50.399 --> 00:32:50.559
 of

00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:51.119
 locusts

00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:51.339
 come

00:32:51.339 --> 00:32:51.599
 over

00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:52.039
 Egypt

00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:53.659
 and

00:32:53.659 --> 00:32:54.119
 it's

00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:54.319
 so

00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:54.719
 severe

00:32:54.719 --> 00:32:54.959
 that

00:32:54.959 --> 00:32:55.079
 it

00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:55.219
 says

00:32:55.219 --> 00:32:55.539
 Pharaoh

00:32:55.539 --> 00:32:56.199
 hastily

00:32:56.199 --> 00:32:56.559
 called

00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:56.939
 Moses

00:32:56.939 --> 00:32:57.099
 and

00:32:57.099 --> 00:32:57.339
 Aaron

00:32:57.339 --> 00:32:58.019

 once

00:32:58.439 --> 00:32:58.759
 again

00:32:58.759 --> 00:32:59.519
 confesses

00:32:59.519 --> 00:32:59.839
 that

00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:00.240
 he

00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:00.819
 has

00:33:00.819 --> 00:33:01.359
 sinned

00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:03.719
 and

00:33:03.719 --> 00:33:04.279
 God

00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:04.659
 once

00:33:04.659 --> 00:33:04.959
 again

00:33:04.959 --> 00:33:05.599
 is

00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.019
 merciful

00:33:06.019 --> 00:33:06.439
 he

00:33:06.439 --> 00:33:06.740
 takes

00:33:06.740 --> 00:33:07.000
 away

00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:07.199
 the

00:33:07.199 --> 00:33:07.519
 locust

00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:07.879
 drives

00:33:07.879 --> 00:33:08.139
 away

00:33:08.139 --> 00:33:08.339
 the

00:33:08.339 --> 00:33:08.579
 locust

00:33:08.579 --> 00:33:08.759
 with

00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:08.879
 a

00:33:08.879 --> 00:33:09.359
 strong

00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:09.799
 wind

00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:11.099
 I

00:33:11.099 --> 00:33:11.299
 think

00:33:11.299 --> 00:33:11.460
 in

00:33:11.460 --> 00:33:11.720
 some

00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:12.099
 ways

00:33:12.099 --> 00:33:12.539
 God

00:33:12.539 --> 00:33:12.899
 making

00:33:12.899 --> 00:33:13.059
 the

 plague

00:33:13.379 --> 00:33:13.940
 seize

00:33:13.940 --> 00:33:14.539
 is

00:33:14.539 --> 00:33:14.779
 even

00:33:14.779 --> 00:33:15.000
 more

00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:15.419
 impressive

00:33:15.419 --> 00:33:15.759
 than

00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:16.019
 God

00:33:16.019 --> 00:33:16.460
 bringing

00:33:16.460 --> 00:33:16.659
 the

00:33:16.659 --> 00:33:17.519
 plagues

00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:17.759
 upon

00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:18.079
 Egypt

00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:18.740
 in

00:33:18.740 --> 00:33:18.859
 the

00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:19.440
 place

00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:19.899
 if

00:33:19.899 --> 00:33:20.079
 you

00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:20.659
 could

00:33:20.659 --> 00:33:20.859
 think

00:33:20.859 --> 00:33:21.039
 about

00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:21.139
 it

00:33:21.139 --> 00:33:21.299
 this

00:33:21.299 --> 00:33:21.480
 way

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:21.619
 if

00:33:21.619 --> 00:33:21.839
 you're

00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:22.079

00:33:24.419 --> 00:33:24.720
 weights

00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:25.119
 let's

00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:25.240
 say

00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:25.419
 you're

00:33:25.419 --> 00:33:25.960
 on

 that's

00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:43.879
 what

00:33:43.879 --> 00:33:44.240
 God's

 he's

00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:45.339
 not

 you

00:34:46.799 --> 00:34:46.859
 know

00:34:46.859 --> 00:34:47.139
 it's

00:34:47.139 --> 00:34:47.319
 kind

 us

00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:48.039
 to

00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:48.299
 imagine

00:34:48.299 --> 00:34:48.539
 this

00:34:48.539 --> 00:34:48.980
 because

00:34:48.980 --> 00:34:49.639
 even

00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:49.879
 when

00:34:49.879 --> 00:34:50.079
 it's

00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:50.480
 dark

00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:50.839
 outside

00:34:50.839 --> 00:34:51.099

00:34:51.099 --> 00:34:51.319
 us

00:34:51.319 --> 00:34:51.480
 we

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:51.699
 live

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:51.779
 in

00:34:51.779 --> 00:34:51.940
 a

00:34:51.940 --> 00:34:52.199
 city

00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:52.519
 where

00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:52.679
 there's

00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:53.000
 a lot

00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:53.119
 of

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:53.460
 artificial

00:34:53.460 --> 00:34:53.900
 light

00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:54.539
 I

00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:54.659
 guess

00:34:54.659 --> 00:34:54.920
 people

00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:55.199
 call

00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:55.299
 it

00:34:55.299 --> 00:34:55.900
 light

00:34:55.900 --> 00:34:56.339
 pollution

00:34:56.339 --> 00:34:56.739
 right

00:34:56.739 --> 00:34:56.940
 and

00:34:56.940 --> 00:34:57.179
 so

00:34:57.179 --> 00:34:57.579
 you're

00:34:57.579 --> 00:34:58.039
 never

00:34:58.039 --> 00:34:58.239

00:34:58.959 --> 00:35:00.039
 and

00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:00.299
 so

00:35:00.299 --> 00:35:00.719
 your

00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:01.000
 eyes

00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:01.119
 can

00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:01.239
 get

00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:01.519
 adjusted

00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:02.259
 you

00:35:02.259 --> 00:35:02.379
 can

00:35:02.379 --> 00:35:02.659
 see

00:35:02.659 --> 00:35:03.139
 plenty

00:35:03.139 --> 00:35:03.679
 but

00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:04.219
 imagine

00:35:06.539 --> 00:35:06.899
 literally

00:35:06.899 --> 00:35:07.459
 can't

00:35:07.459 --> 00:35:07.859
 see

00:35:07.859 --> 00:35:08.500
 anything

00:35:08.500 --> 00:35:09.059
 your

00:35:09.059 --> 00:35:09.359
 eyes

00:35:09.359 --> 00:35:09.699
 never

00:35:09.699 --> 00:35:10.219
 adjust

00:35:10.219 --> 00:35:10.839
 to

00:35:10.839 --> 00:35:11.099

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:11.559
 dark

00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:12.659

 he's

00:36:11.540 --> 00:36:11.700
 you

00:36:14.220 --> 00:36:15.320
 just

00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:15.940
 leave

00:36:20.180 --> 00:36:20.480
 Pharaoh

00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:20.720
 is

00:36:20.720 --> 00:36:21.260
 still

00:36:21.260 --> 00:36:22.080
 seeking

 God

00:36:23.820 --> 00:36:24.880
 he's

00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:25.200
 not

00:36:25.200 --> 00:36:25.480
 ready

 this

00:36:29.580 --> 00:36:29.720

00:36:29.720 --> 00:36:29.980
 really

00:36:29.980 --> 00:36:30.420
 costly

 be

00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:42.920
 in

00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:43.280
 rebellion

00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:43.620
 against

00:39:43.620 --> 00:39:43.960
 God

00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:46.600
 like

00:39:46.600 --> 00:39:47.080
 Pharaoh

00:39:47.080 --> 00:39:47.720
 we

00:39:47.720 --> 00:39:48.200
 all

00:39:48.200 --> 00:39:48.640
 once

00:39:48.640 --> 00:39:49.080
 refused

00:39:49.080 --> 00:39:49.260
 to

00:39:49.260 --> 00:39:49.620
 acknowledge

00:39:49.620 --> 00:39:49.780
 the

00:39:49.780 --> 00:39:49.920
 name

00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:50.059
 of

 the

00:39:50.240 --> 00:39:50.480
 Lord

00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:51.140
 we

00:39:51.140 --> 00:39:51.380
 lived

00:39:51.380 --> 00:39:51.539
 in

00:39:51.539 --> 00:39:52.000
 ignorance

00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:52.559
 refusing

00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:52.820
 to

00:39:52.820 --> 00:39:53.180
 worship

00:39:53.180 --> 00:39:53.500
 our

00:39:53.500 --> 00:39:53.940
 creator

00:39:53.940 --> 00:39:54.800
 living

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:55.059
 in

00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:55.220
 the

00:39:55.220 --> 00:39:55.700
 passions

00:39:55.700 --> 00:39:55.940
 of

00:39:55.940 --> 00:39:56.080
 our

00:39:56.080 --> 00:39:56.559
 sinful

00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:57.019
 flesh

00:39:57.019 --> 00:39:57.539
 following

00:39:57.539 --> 00:39:58.100
 the

00:39:58.100 --> 00:39:58.680
 course

00:39:58.680 --> 00:39:58.860
 the

00:39:58.860 --> 00:39:59.200
 patterns

00:39:59.200 --> 00:39:59.320
 of

00:39:59.320 --> 00:39:59.480
 this

00:39:59.480 --> 00:39:59.940
 sinful

00:39:59.940 --> 00:40:00.400
 world

00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:01.000
 following

00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:01.200
 the

00:40:01.200 --> 00:40:01.460
 evil

00:40:01.460 --> 00:40:01.940
 spirit

00:40:01.940 --> 00:40:02.160
 that

00:40:02.160 --> 00:40:02.280
 is

00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:03.559
 at

00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:03.900
 work

00:40:03.900 --> 00:40:04.019
 in

00:40:04.019 --> 00:40:04.340
 all

00:40:04.340 --> 00:40:04.820
 those

00:40:04.820 --> 00:40:04.920
 who

00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:05.300
 disobey

00:40:05.300 --> 00:40:05.700
 God

00:40:05.700 --> 00:40:07.480
 so

00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:07.640
 then

00:40:07.640 --> 00:40:07.840
 aren't

00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:08.059
 we

00:40:08.059 --> 00:40:08.460
 no

00:40:08.460 --> 00:40:08.740
 different

00:40:08.740 --> 00:40:08.980

00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:12.320
 us

00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:14.560

 we

00:40:22.300 --> 00:40:22.420
 had

 the

00:40:46.319 --> 00:40:46.639
 son

00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:47.420
 nothing

00:40:47.420 --> 00:40:47.619

00:40:48.739 --> 00:40:49.199
 only

00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:49.420

 father

00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:51.000
 doing

00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:51.759
 for

00:40:51.759 --> 00:40:52.279
 whatever

00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:54.460
 does

00:40:54.460 --> 00:40:55.099
 likewise

00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:31.360
 laying

00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:31.599
 down

00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:31.820
 his

00:41:31.820 --> 00:41:32.240
 life

00:41:32.240 --> 00:41:32.700
 on

00:41:32.700 --> 00:41:32.860
 the

00:41:32.860 --> 00:41:33.160
 cross

00:41:33.160 --> 00:41:33.320
 to

00:41:33.320 --> 00:41:33.519
 take

00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:33.840
 our

00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:34.360
 place

00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:35.460
 to

00:41:35.460 --> 00:41:35.740
 pay

00:41:35.740 --> 00:41:35.940
 the

00:41:35.940 --> 00:41:36.500
 penalty

00:41:36.500 --> 00:41:37.120
 for

00:41:37.120 --> 00:41:37.519
 our

00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:38.079
 sins

00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:38.680
 to

00:41:38.680 --> 00:41:39.140
 fulfill

00:41:39.140 --> 00:41:39.599
 all

00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:40.180
 righteousness

00:41:40.180 --> 00:41:41.920
 and

00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:42.039
 then

00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:42.420
 having

00:41:42.420 --> 00:41:42.880
 been

00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:43.220
 raised

00:41:43.220 --> 00:41:43.720
 victoriously

00:41:43.720 --> 00:41:43.980
 from

00:41:43.980 --> 00:41:44.120
 the

00:41:44.120 --> 00:41:44.400
 dead

00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:45.120
 Jesus

00:41:45.120 --> 00:41:45.680
 offers

00:41:45.680 --> 00:41:45.920
 us

00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:46.140
 his

00:41:46.140 --> 00:41:46.700
 righteousness

00:41:46.700 --> 00:41:49.120
 eternal

00:41:49.120 --> 00:41:49.640
 life

00:41:49.640 --> 00:41:51.880
 so that

00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:52.599
 as far

00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:52.900
 as the

00:41:52.900 --> 00:41:53.140
 east

00:41:53.140 --> 00:41:53.480
 is from

00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:53.640
 the

00:41:53.640 --> 00:41:53.900
 west

00:41:53.900 --> 00:41:54.380
 our

00:41:54.380 --> 00:41:54.740
 sins

00:41:54.740 --> 00:41:54.900
 are

00:41:54.900 --> 00:41:55.220
 removed

00:41:55.220 --> 00:41:55.480
 from

00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:55.920
 us

00:41:55.920 --> 00:42:00.360
 do

00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:00.460
 you

00:42:00.460 --> 00:42:00.599
 feel

00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:00.719
 that

00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:00.839
 you

00:42:00.839 --> 00:42:01.179
 can't

00:42:01.179 --> 00:42:01.519
 stand

00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:01.799
 before

00:42:01.799 --> 00:42:02.159
 God

00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:02.319
 the

00:42:02.319 --> 00:42:02.599
 righteous

00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:03.099
 judge

00:42:03.099 --> 00:42:05.119
 no one

00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:05.539
 can

00:42:05.539 --> 00:42:06.000
 in his

00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:06.440
 or her

00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:06.880
 own

00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:07.380
 righteousness

00:42:07.380 --> 00:42:08.759
 but we

00:42:08.759 --> 00:42:09.279
 who believe

00:42:09.279 --> 00:42:09.779
 in Jesus

00:42:09.779 --> 00:42:10.460
 can receive

00:42:10.460 --> 00:42:11.079
 his

00:42:11.079 --> 00:42:11.699
 righteousness

00:42:11.699 --> 00:42:12.319
 Jesus'

00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:12.920
 righteousness

00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:13.400
 as a

00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:13.799
 free

00:42:13.799 --> 00:42:14.719
 gift

00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:17.119
 and this

00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:17.360
 is how

00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:17.860
 you receive

00:42:17.860 --> 00:42:18.360
 that free

00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:18.639
 gift

00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:19.259
 by letting

00:42:19.259 --> 00:42:19.699
 go

00:42:19.699 --> 00:42:20.819
 of what

00:42:20.819 --> 00:42:21.159
 you're

00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:21.519
 holding

00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:21.980
 on to

00:42:21.980 --> 00:42:22.219
 in your

00:42:22.219 --> 00:42:22.420
 own

00:42:22.420 --> 00:42:22.839
 hands

00:42:22.839 --> 00:42:23.480
 and

00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:23.920
 clinging

00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:24.119
 to

00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:24.559
 Christ

00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:25.880
 by

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:26.599
 despairing

00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:27.219
 of all

00:42:27.219 --> 00:42:27.839
 your own

00:42:27.839 --> 00:42:28.199
 efforts

00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:28.619
 to save

00:42:28.619 --> 00:42:29.099
 yourself

00:42:29.099 --> 00:42:30.719
 by denying

00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:31.279
 yourself

00:42:31.279 --> 00:42:32.319
 by yielding

00:42:32.319 --> 00:42:32.599
 to the

00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:33.099
 lordship

00:42:33.099 --> 00:42:33.559
 of Christ

00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:33.779
 and to

00:42:33.779 --> 00:42:33.900
 the

00:42:33.900 --> 00:42:34.179
 power

00:42:34.179 --> 00:42:34.460
 of his

00:42:34.460 --> 00:42:34.839
 spirit

00:42:34.839 --> 00:42:36.799
 and Jesus

00:42:36.799 --> 00:42:37.339
 extends

00:42:37.339 --> 00:42:37.599
 this

00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:38.019
 invitation

00:42:38.019 --> 00:42:38.500
 to all

00:42:38.500 --> 00:42:38.759
 of us

00:42:38.759 --> 00:42:39.099
 in Matthew

00:42:39.099 --> 00:42:39.659
 16

00:42:39.659 --> 00:42:40.059
 24

00:42:40.059 --> 00:42:40.699
 to 26

00:42:40.699 --> 00:42:41.699
 if anyone

00:42:41.699 --> 00:42:42.219
 would come

00:42:42.219 --> 00:42:42.860
 after me

00:42:42.860 --> 00:42:43.599
 let him

00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:44.380
 deny himself

00:42:44.380 --> 00:42:44.980
 and take up

00:42:44.980 --> 00:42:45.539
 his cross

00:42:45.539 --> 00:42:45.980
 and follow

00:42:45.980 --> 00:42:46.360
 me

00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:47.199
 for whoever

00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:47.779
 would save

00:42:47.779 --> 00:42:48.339
 his life

00:42:48.339 --> 00:42:48.920
 will lose

00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:49.179
 it

00:42:49.179 --> 00:42:49.880
 but whoever

00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:50.360
 loses

00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:50.819
 his life

00:42:50.819 --> 00:42:51.159
 for my

00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:51.420
 sake

00:42:51.420 --> 00:42:52.159
 will find

00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:52.400
 it

00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:53.199
 for what

00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:53.599
 will it

00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:54.119
 profit a

00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:54.400
 man if

00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:54.880
 he gains

00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:55.279
 the whole

00:42:55.279 --> 00:42:55.579
 world

00:42:55.579 --> 00:42:56.279
 and forfeits

00:42:56.279 --> 00:42:56.839
 his soul

00:42:56.840 --> 00:43:02.500
 losing

00:43:02.500 --> 00:43:03.079
 our life

00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:03.900
 in this

00:43:03.900 --> 00:43:04.160
 way

00:43:04.160 --> 00:43:04.460
 is no

00:43:04.460 --> 00:43:04.880
 loss

00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:05.500
 for us

00:43:05.500 --> 00:43:06.019
 because

00:43:06.019 --> 00:43:06.680
 by doing

00:43:06.680 --> 00:43:07.079
 so we

00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:07.480
 gain

00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:08.380
 Christ

00:43:08.380 --> 00:43:09.400
 the

00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:09.780
 priceless

00:43:09.780 --> 00:43:10.240
 treasure

00:43:10.240 --> 00:43:14.200
 Andrew

00:43:14.200 --> 00:43:14.519
 Murray

00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:15.180
 uses this

00:43:15.180 --> 00:43:15.579
 analogy

00:43:15.579 --> 00:43:15.880
 in his

00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:16.220
 classic

00:43:16.220 --> 00:43:16.519
 book

00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:17.000
 absolute

00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:17.460
 surrender

00:43:17.460 --> 00:43:18.440
 he says

00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:19.100
 I have

00:43:19.100 --> 00:43:19.500
 a pen

00:43:19.500 --> 00:43:19.820
 in my

00:43:19.820 --> 00:43:20.220
 pocket

00:43:20.220 --> 00:43:21.300
 and that

00:43:21.300 --> 00:43:21.660
 pen

00:43:21.660 --> 00:43:22.300
 is absolutely

00:43:22.300 --> 00:43:22.860
 surrender

00:43:22.860 --> 00:43:23.240
 to the

00:43:23.240 --> 00:43:23.519
 one

00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:23.940
 work

00:43:23.940 --> 00:43:24.100
 of

00:43:24.100 --> 00:43:24.400
 writing

00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:25.440
 and that

00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:25.780
 pen

00:43:25.780 --> 00:43:26.240
 must be

00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:26.719
 absolutely

00:43:26.719 --> 00:43:27.159
 surrender

00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:27.799
 to my

00:43:27.799 --> 00:43:28.279
 hand

00:43:28.279 --> 00:43:29.219
 if I

00:43:29.219 --> 00:43:29.459
 am to

00:43:29.459 --> 00:43:29.639
 write

00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:30.059
 properly

00:43:30.059 --> 00:43:30.500
 with it

00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:31.699
 if another

00:43:31.699 --> 00:43:32.319
 holds it

00:43:32.319 --> 00:43:32.699
 partly

00:43:32.699 --> 00:43:33.759
 I cannot

00:43:33.759 --> 00:43:34.299
 write

00:43:34.299 --> 00:43:35.099
 properly

00:43:35.099 --> 00:43:37.959
 will you

00:43:37.959 --> 00:43:38.599
 be a pen

00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:39.399
 that is

00:43:39.399 --> 00:43:39.979
 absolutely

00:43:39.979 --> 00:43:40.559
 surrender

00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:41.119
 to God's

00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:41.379
 hand

00:43:41.379 --> 00:43:43.339
 let us

00:43:43.339 --> 00:43:43.659
 surrender

00:43:43.659 --> 00:43:44.159
 ourselves

00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:44.819
 to the

00:43:44.819 --> 00:43:45.119
 grace

00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:45.559
 and power

00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:45.859
 of God

00:43:45.859 --> 00:43:46.359
 in Christ

00:43:46.359 --> 00:43:47.500
 and there

00:43:47.500 --> 00:43:48.019
 find our

00:43:48.019 --> 00:43:48.299
 freedom

00:43:48.299 --> 00:43:49.279
 and eternal

00:43:49.279 --> 00:43:49.639
 life

00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:50.219
 let's pray

00:43:50.219 --> 00:43:53.219
 Lord

00:43:53.219 --> 00:43:55.879
 we confess

00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:56.400
 that we

00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:56.559
 are

00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:56.960
 stubborn

00:43:56.960 --> 00:44:00.700
 we

00:44:00.700 --> 00:44:01.400
 relinquish

00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:01.880
 our

00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:02.480
 control

00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:04.360
 and so

00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:04.780
 often

00:44:04.780 --> 00:44:05.440
 sinfully

00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:06.660
 seek to

00:44:06.660 --> 00:44:07.800
 grasp

00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:08.320
 again for

00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:09.000
 it

00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:13.059
 but Lord
