00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.680
 A little bit far away, some of you are nice and close, but that's okay.

00:00:04.099 --> 00:00:07.360
 You're here, and I'm here, and it is so good to see you.

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.919
 Some of you I haven't seen physically for a long time,

00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.280
 so it is good to see you in person.

00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:19.359
 Just to remind you this morning that as we gather, there are toilets.

00:00:19.539 --> 00:00:23.339
 If you can, if at all possible, just wait until the very end.

00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.199
 Ladies at the far door and men's through the double door.

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:32.379
 When we leave this morning, we can leave either through the fire exit down there,

00:00:32.879 --> 00:00:34.460
 or the fire exit down here.

00:00:34.939 --> 00:00:39.960
 And our encouragement is to just congregate outside the door, just behind that wall.

00:00:40.060 --> 00:00:42.179
 There's a nice green area outdoors.

00:00:42.340 --> 00:00:48.019
 We can catch up, we can chat, find out how each other is doing, and encourage one another.

00:00:48.460 --> 00:00:51.120
 I'm not sure if the coffee guy is there this morning.

00:00:51.260 --> 00:00:54.460
 There was a coffee seller there last week.

00:00:54.460 --> 00:01:01.259
 So you can even do him a good turn and buy yourself a cup of coffee and chat with people.

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.540
 So my encouragement as we begin is to turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 1.

00:01:08.099 --> 00:01:10.620
 1 Corinthians chapter 1.

00:01:10.620 --> 00:01:24.540
 So this is just going to be helpful for us as we set our theme and our focus this morning.

00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:32.219
 So 1 Corinthians chapter 1.

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.939
 What we're going to do is I'm going to read some verses,

00:01:34.939 --> 00:01:41.200
 and then we're going to play a song which the words you will see on the screen,

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.420
 and the encouragement is just to listen to the song, reflect on the words and meditate.

00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:51.000
 We're not going to be singing this morning,

00:01:51.099 --> 00:01:56.959
 but just to use those words to help us focus our hearts and our minds upon the Lord Jesus.

00:01:57.620 --> 00:02:02.180
 So 1 Corinthians chapter 1 and verse 26.

00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:05.840
 So our question this morning as we gather is,

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:07.540
 what are you boasting in?

00:02:08.379 --> 00:02:11.719
 Where's your confidence and where's your assurance?

00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:13.840
 Verse 26.

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.120
 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called.

00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:23.920
 So it's saying think about what you were before Christ enabled you

00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:27.780
 to turn to him in faith and repentance.

00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:32.740
 Well, not many of you were wise by human standards.

00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.479
 Not many were influential.

00:02:35.460 --> 00:02:37.520
 Not many were of noble birth.

00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:43.539
 We were just ordinary, everyday kind of people.

00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:46.420
 Verse 28.

00:02:47.539 --> 00:02:51.060
 But God chose the lowly things of this world

00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:54.300
 and the despised things and the things that are not

00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:57.420
 to nullify the things that are

00:02:57.420 --> 00:03:02.580
 so that no one may boast before him.

00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:04.260
 Verse 31.

00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.500
 Therefore, as it is written,

00:03:07.420 --> 00:03:09.380
 let the one who boasts,

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:12.360
 boast in the Lord.

00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:15.100
 It's not about us today.

00:03:15.820 --> 00:03:17.140
 It never is.

00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:20.179
 It's all about the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:03:20.299 --> 00:03:21.259
 his death for us,

00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:23.419
 his resurrection from the grave,

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:24.339
 defeating death,

00:03:24.739 --> 00:03:26.159
 giving us a new life,

00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:27.299
 a new creation,

00:03:28.179 --> 00:03:31.799
 and a new eternal destiny in his kingdom.

00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.699
 We gather together today

00:03:34.699 --> 00:03:39.079
 because the Lord Jesus has enabled us to do so.

00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.340
 And we boast in him

00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:43.760
 that joyful confidence

00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:46.560
 in all that Christ is.

00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:49.380
 So, we're going to play a song now.

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.380
 Turn your eyes upon Jesus.

00:03:51.939 --> 00:03:53.020
 Let's use this song.

00:03:53.220 --> 00:03:54.420
 Meditate on the words.

00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:55.340
 Think about it.

00:03:55.460 --> 00:03:56.000
 Reflect.

00:03:56.860 --> 00:04:00.480
 As we focus our minds and our hearts to him.

00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:00.540
 Amen.

00:04:00.540 --> 00:04:00.620
 Amen.

00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:39.060
 Turn your eyes upon Jesus.

00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:50.139
 Look full in his wonderful face.

00:04:50.139 --> 00:04:57.659
 And the things of earth will grow strangely dim

00:04:57.659 --> 00:05:04.899
 In the light of his glory and grace.

00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:15.079
 Turn your eyes to the hillside

00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:22.459
 Where justice and mercy embrace

00:05:22.459 --> 00:05:30.139
 There the Son of God gave his life for us

00:05:30.139 --> 00:05:36.079
 And our measureless death was erased

00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:44.079
 Jesus, to you we lift our eyes

00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:51.079
 Jesus, our glory and our prize

00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:55.079
 We adore you, behold you

00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.079
 Our Savior ever true

00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:04.079
 Oh, Jesus, we turn our eyes to you

00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:10.079
 Turn your eyes to the morning

00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:23.079
 Turn your eyes to the morning

00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:29.079
 And see Christ the lion away

00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:30.079
 What a glorious dawn

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.079
 What a glorious dawn

00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.079
 Fear our death is gone

00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:44.079
 For we carry his life in our veins

00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:57.099
 Jesus, to you we lift our

00:06:57.099 --> 00:06:59.079
 Jesus, to you we lift our eyes

00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:07.219
 We adore you, behold you, our Savior ever true.

00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:12.919
 Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to you.

00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:42.900
 Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to you.

00:07:42.920 --> 00:08:12.900
 Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to you.

00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:22.920
 Oh Jesus, to you we lift our eyes.

00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:30.140
 Jesus, our glory and our prize.

00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:37.200
 We adore you, behold you, our Savior ever true.

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:43.200
 Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to you.

00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:55.200
 Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to you.

00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.200
 Amen.

00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.200
 Amen.

00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:00.200
 Amen.

00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:12.540
 Let's pray together.

00:09:14.920 --> 00:09:18.700
 Father, as we gather together as your people today,

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:24.300
 we want to turn away from all pride,

00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:30.020
 from all notions of self.

00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:39.379
 And we look afresh as we have just been reflecting and meditating upon the Lord Jesus.

00:09:40.680 --> 00:09:47.800
 We thank you that because of him, we can come to you as our Father.

00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:55.340
 We can gather together as your people, united together through the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:09:56.300 --> 00:10:03.500
 Thank you that in him, because of his death for us, our sin is dealt with.

00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:11.560
 All our past, all our guilt and shame, all our concerns for the future,

00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:19.059
 everything has been paid for and dealt with once and for all.

00:10:19.739 --> 00:10:28.039
 There is nothing left for us to do except to boast in the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.799
 to say thank you for his work on our behalf,

00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:37.599
 living the perfect life for us,

00:10:38.139 --> 00:10:40.079
 dying our death for us,

00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:42.279
 rising again from the grave,

00:10:42.899 --> 00:10:47.019
 ensuring our eternal destiny is secure.

00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:51.240
 that eternal kingdom, the new heavens and the new earth,

00:10:51.899 --> 00:10:54.379
 where everything will be put right.

00:10:55.659 --> 00:11:02.399
 Father, we thank you so much for all that you have done for us in Christ today.

00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:09.659
 And we ask that as we humbly turn from ourselves and turn to you,

00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:14.340
 that you would pour out your Holy Spirit upon each one of us today.

00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:22.040
 that you would speak to us afresh through the words we hear as we read,

00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:22.840
 as we listen,

00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:30.019
 and as later we reflect and think upon the Lord's death for us as we celebrate the Lord's Supper.

00:11:30.860 --> 00:11:34.100
 That you would use all of these things,

00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:37.000
 engage all of our senses,

00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.919
 so that we may understand better

00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.639
 who you are,

00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:44.720
 what you have done,

00:11:45.460 --> 00:11:47.779
 and what it means to follow you.

00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.139
 Father, we are grateful,

00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:51.000
 we are thankful

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.860
 for you today.

00:11:54.740 --> 00:11:55.940
 Thankful for one another,

00:11:56.299 --> 00:11:59.019
 for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:02.039
 So help us today.

00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:05.960
 We pray for those of our church family who can't be with us.

00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:12.680
 Father, encourage them as they later listen to the recording of this gathering,

00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:14.900
 that they would be blessed,

00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:17.420
 and they would be built up,

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:19.940
 and in no sense, Father,

00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:22.500
 will they feel distant,

00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:26.240
 but be part of your church family today.

00:12:28.180 --> 00:12:31.600
 Father, we pray that you would help us as a church

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.759
 to love one another well in these days.

00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:40.019
 to find good ways to encourage and to support.

00:12:40.820 --> 00:12:41.740
 We thank you, Father,

00:12:41.900 --> 00:12:43.840
 for the love that is shown.

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.620
 We thank you for the way in which people

00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:47.920
 are encouraging

00:12:47.920 --> 00:12:50.259
 and looking out for each other.

00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:52.980
 And we pray that this will continue

00:12:52.980 --> 00:12:54.460
 in greater measure

00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:57.200
 as we spur one another on

00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:58.300
 to love

00:12:58.300 --> 00:12:59.759
 and good deeds.

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.720
 So we thank you

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.779
 for today.

00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:04.500
 Thank you for your blessings.

00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:06.120
 In Jesus' name.

00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:07.259
 Amen.

00:13:10.319 --> 00:13:12.399
 Well, the children are going to leave

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.139
 in just a minute

00:13:13.139 --> 00:13:14.759
 for those who are going to Sunday school.

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:15.740
 Before you do,

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:17.480
 what you're going to do is

00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:18.720
 you're going to just move

00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.139
 to the nearest blue area

00:13:20.139 --> 00:13:22.419
 and then you're just going to walk

00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:23.500
 nice and slowly

00:13:23.500 --> 00:13:25.019
 round to the back

00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:26.679
 and to the door

00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.059
 where you will go

00:13:28.059 --> 00:13:29.559
 to Sunday school.

00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:30.899
 But before you go,

00:13:31.340 --> 00:13:33.159
 just a reminder at the end

00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.319
 so that the children can come out

00:13:35.319 --> 00:13:36.759
 if the ladies are needing the loo.

00:13:36.819 --> 00:13:38.179
 If you could just hold on

00:13:38.179 --> 00:13:39.340
 for a minute more

00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:41.539
 and let the children out

00:13:41.539 --> 00:13:42.860
 and then you can use the loos

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:43.580
 if you need to.

00:13:44.259 --> 00:13:45.480
 And we're going to pray for you now

00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:46.379
 for the little ones.

00:13:46.379 --> 00:13:49.100
 So let's pray for them

00:13:49.100 --> 00:13:50.919
 as they go to their class.

00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:52.039
 Let's do that now.

00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:54.480
 Our Father God,

00:13:54.539 --> 00:13:55.600
 we thank you again

00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.500
 for the family of your church,

00:13:58.659 --> 00:14:00.799
 for your people gathered here today.

00:14:01.299 --> 00:14:03.960
 We pray for the little ones amongst us.

00:14:05.139 --> 00:14:07.139
 We know it's been a hard time

00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:09.500
 and a difficult number of weeks

00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:11.639
 and months missing friends,

00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:14.259
 missing being able to go out

00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:15.860
 and see people and play.

00:14:16.379 --> 00:14:18.080
 That's been hard.

00:14:18.899 --> 00:14:20.059
 And so we pray today

00:14:20.059 --> 00:14:21.740
 that you would encourage them

00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:24.700
 to see that in you, Father,

00:14:24.860 --> 00:14:26.360
 you are unchanging.

00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:29.460
 You are always with us.

00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:31.860
 No matter what we may go through,

00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:34.679
 no matter what we feel in our hearts,

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.399
 even the things we can't explain

00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:38.639
 or understand,

00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:42.179
 you know and you understand.

00:14:42.179 --> 00:14:45.579
 and you give us the help

00:14:45.579 --> 00:14:46.959
 that we need

00:14:46.959 --> 00:14:49.500
 because you are a big,

00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:51.879
 great and mighty God.

00:14:52.659 --> 00:14:55.079
 I pray that you would help the children

00:14:55.079 --> 00:14:56.279
 as they go to their class,

00:14:56.379 --> 00:14:57.419
 that they'll listen well

00:14:57.419 --> 00:15:00.859
 and that they will hear great truths

00:15:00.859 --> 00:15:02.599
 about the Lord Jesus

00:15:02.599 --> 00:15:04.959
 and that it will encourage them

00:15:04.959 --> 00:15:06.339
 to fix their eyes,

00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:08.039
 their minds and their hearts

00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.500
 upon him today.

00:15:11.419 --> 00:15:12.759
 So bless them as they go

00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:14.179
 and bless us

00:15:14.179 --> 00:15:16.199
 as we remain here.

00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:17.519
 In Jesus' name.

00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:18.419
 Amen.

00:15:19.459 --> 00:15:20.159
 Okay, children,

00:15:20.339 --> 00:15:21.459
 so just to one side

00:15:21.459 --> 00:15:24.039
 and then Cherry will be

00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:25.360
 helping you out.

00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:29.680
 So as they do that,

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:31.180
 let me encourage you please

00:15:31.180 --> 00:15:33.399
 to turn to Galatians chapter 6

00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.000
 in our Bibles.

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:38.620
 Galatians chapter 6.

00:15:42.180 --> 00:15:44.800
 We're going to read God's word

00:15:44.800 --> 00:15:48.039
 before Ralph comes and speaks.

00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.720
 So Galatians chapter 6.

00:15:52.820 --> 00:15:54.740
 Verse 6 to the end of the chapter.

00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:57.180
 So you've been following online.

00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:59.279
 We've been working our way

00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:00.580
 through this great letter

00:16:00.580 --> 00:16:02.519
 to the Galatians

00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:03.500
 and we come to the end,

00:16:03.560 --> 00:16:04.200
 to a conclusion

00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:05.419
 and Ralph is going to wrap

00:16:05.419 --> 00:16:06.600
 everything up for us.

00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.620
 Going to teach us this morning.

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:10.100
 So we're going to read

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:12.360
 and then hand over to Ralph.

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.659
 So let's hear God's word to us

00:16:14.659 --> 00:16:15.759
 this morning.

00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.659
 Galatians 6 starting at verse 6.

00:16:19.659 --> 00:16:21.659
 Nevertheless,

00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:25.360
 the one who receives instruction

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.179
 in the word

00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:29.039
 should share all good things

00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:30.639
 with their instructor.

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:33.679
 Do not be deceived.

00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:36.759
 God cannot be mocked.

00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.699
 A man reaps what he sows.

00:16:40.579 --> 00:16:42.679
 Whoever sows to please their flesh

00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:44.339
 from the flesh

00:16:44.339 --> 00:16:45.519
 will reap destruction.

00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.740
 Whoever sows to please the spirit

00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:50.579
 from the spirit

00:16:50.579 --> 00:16:52.519
 will reap eternal life.

00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:55.340
 Let us not become weary

00:16:55.340 --> 00:16:56.299
 in doing good

00:16:56.299 --> 00:16:58.039
 for at the proper time

00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:00.179
 we will reap a harvest

00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:01.960
 if we do not give up.

00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:02.799
 Therefore,

00:17:03.179 --> 00:17:04.759
 as we have opportunity,

00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:06.200
 let us do good

00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:07.599
 to all people,

00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:09.000
 especially

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:10.799
 to those who belong

00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:11.559
 to the family

00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:12.660
 of believers.

00:17:12.660 --> 00:17:15.640
 see what large letters

00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:16.220
 I use

00:17:16.220 --> 00:17:17.300
 as I write with you

00:17:17.300 --> 00:17:18.440
 with my own hand.

00:17:19.779 --> 00:17:20.680
 Those who want

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.720
 to impress people

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.019
 by means of the flesh

00:17:23.019 --> 00:17:25.000
 are trying to compel you

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.200
 to be circumcised.

00:17:27.019 --> 00:17:27.740
 The only reason

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:28.680
 they do this

00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:29.900
 is to avoid

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:30.900
 being persecuted

00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:32.259
 for the cross of Christ.

00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:34.360
 Not even those

00:17:34.360 --> 00:17:35.519
 who are circumcised

00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:36.300
 keep the law.

00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:38.180
 Yet they want you

00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:39.400
 to be circumcised

00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:40.580
 that they may boast

00:17:40.580 --> 00:17:42.000
 about your circumcision

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:42.700
 in the flesh.

00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.400
 May I never boast

00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:46.720
 except in the cross

00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:48.279
 of our Lord Jesus Christ

00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:49.259
 through which

00:17:49.259 --> 00:17:49.880
 the world

00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:50.799
 has been crucified

00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:51.519
 to me

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.579
 and I to the world.

00:17:55.339 --> 00:17:56.920
 Neither circumcision

00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:58.359
 nor uncircumcision

00:17:58.359 --> 00:17:59.579
 means anything.

00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:01.660
 What counts

00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:03.940
 is the new creation.

00:18:05.380 --> 00:18:05.859
 Peace

00:18:05.859 --> 00:18:06.980
 and mercy

00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:07.940
 to all

00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:09.380
 who follow this rule

00:18:09.380 --> 00:18:10.900
 to the Israel

00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:11.480
 of God.

00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:13.880
 From now on

00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:15.580
 let no one

00:18:15.580 --> 00:18:16.660
 cause me trouble

00:18:16.660 --> 00:18:18.240
 for I bear

00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:18.860
 on my body

00:18:18.860 --> 00:18:19.420
 the marks

00:18:19.420 --> 00:18:20.060
 of Jesus.

00:18:21.280 --> 00:18:22.340
 The grace

00:18:22.340 --> 00:18:23.040
 of our Lord

00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:23.980
 Jesus Christ

00:18:23.980 --> 00:18:25.740
 be with your spirit

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:26.840
 brothers and sisters.

00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:28.360
 Amen.

00:18:28.360 --> 00:18:28.460
 Amen.

00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:28.519
 Amen.

00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:28.540
 Amen.

00:18:28.540 --> 00:18:28.560
 Amen.

00:18:28.560 --> 00:18:30.560
 Amen.

00:18:30.560 --> 00:18:30.580
 Amen.

00:18:30.580 --> 00:18:32.560
 Amen.

00:18:32.560 --> 00:18:32.580
 Amen.

00:18:32.580 --> 00:18:34.560
 Amen.

00:18:34.560 --> 00:18:36.560
 Amen.

00:18:36.560 --> 00:18:37.560
 Amen.

00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:38.560
 Amen.

00:18:38.560 --> 00:18:38.620
 Amen.

00:18:38.620 --> 00:18:39.620
 Amen.

00:18:39.620 --> 00:18:40.620
 Amen.

00:18:41.099 --> 00:18:44.699
 Amen.

00:18:44.899 --> 00:18:45.579
 Amen.

00:18:45.579 --> 00:18:46.000
 Thank you Johnny.

00:18:46.159 --> 00:18:47.159
 It is good to

00:18:47.159 --> 00:18:48.739
 be back with you

00:18:48.739 --> 00:18:49.539
 all this morning.

00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:52.939
 We had a good run

00:18:52.939 --> 00:18:54.479
 in the book room

00:18:54.479 --> 00:18:55.000
 at our house

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:55.859
 for a few months

00:18:55.859 --> 00:18:56.979
 joining my

00:18:56.979 --> 00:18:57.159
 to the church.

00:18:57.159 --> 00:18:57.899
 But it's much better

00:18:57.899 --> 00:18:58.459
 with all of you.

00:18:58.879 --> 00:18:59.619
 I can tell you that.

00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:00.959
 No offense Johnny.

00:19:02.939 --> 00:19:03.839
 I'm just going to turn

00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:04.979
 to the book of Galatians

00:19:04.979 --> 00:19:05.679
 myself here.

00:19:06.199 --> 00:19:07.479
 Galatians chapter 6

00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.339
 and just make sure the...

00:19:10.339 --> 00:19:10.660
 Nope.

00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.660
 Sorry, I can't see what's...

00:19:16.660 --> 00:19:17.740
 I'm going the wrong way, aren't I?

00:19:19.500 --> 00:19:20.420
 That's right, isn't it?

00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:21.640
 Yeah, okay, thank you.

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:27.940
 So just as we begin, I'm just going to ask for the Lord's help

00:19:27.940 --> 00:19:30.240
 and the enabling of the Spirit this morning.

00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:37.019
 Our Heavenly Father, we thank you that we are gathered here this morning

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:40.079
 as your people, the Israel of God,

00:19:40.740 --> 00:19:42.539
 those who come to worship you,

00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:44.379
 those who love you,

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.779
 because we have been loved by you.

00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:49.099
 We are the new creation.

00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:51.680
 And so, Lord, we ask for your help now

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:53.240
 that we would hear from your word,

00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:55.900
 that your Spirit would be at work in our hearts.

00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.460
 And, Father, give me strength for the task at hand.

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:00.619
 Amen.

00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:00.759
 Amen.

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:06.720
 Oops.

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.039
 I'm still going the wrong way, aren't I?

00:20:08.900 --> 00:20:09.200
 Okay.

00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.740
 A large-scale public health crisis

00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:17.980
 reveals much about a culture and a society.

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:23.440
 We like to imagine all things about Ireland and being Irish,

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.779
 but when pressure is applied to everyone

00:20:27.779 --> 00:20:30.240
 and to everything at once,

00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:32.839
 cracks can begin to appear.

00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:35.019
 Our now former teacher,

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:35.799
 Leo Varadkar,

00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:37.619
 in one of his many speeches,

00:20:37.939 --> 00:20:39.339
 he said these words,

00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:40.259
 good words,

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:44.539
 I believe we need to maintain social solidarity,

00:20:45.539 --> 00:20:46.099
 unity,

00:20:46.659 --> 00:20:49.659
 and a sense of community in this time of trial.

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:52.000
 And on the other hand,

00:20:52.379 --> 00:20:54.439
 he was ready to enact draconian laws

00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:56.320
 to lock us all down,

00:20:56.320 --> 00:20:58.140
 stop us in our cars,

00:20:58.660 --> 00:21:01.279
 curtail our freedom to meet people.

00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:04.080
 The call to solidarity

00:21:04.080 --> 00:21:06.759
 and community on one hand,

00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:09.600
 the power of the state

00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:11.400
 and of the law in the other.

00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:12.960
 And I wonder,

00:21:13.040 --> 00:21:15.000
 which one does Leo really think

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.320
 if either of them gets a country through a pandemic?

00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:21.440
 Why the need for both solidarity

00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:23.880
 and the force of the law?

00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:24.820
 Why both?

00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:28.900
 Well, there's no guarantees over the long term

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:30.580
 about countries.

00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:34.079
 We know that kingdoms and countries rise and fall,

00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:36.240
 pandemics, wars, upheavals,

00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:38.639
 natural disasters have wiped out

00:21:38.639 --> 00:21:41.659
 and dismantled countless empires,

00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:44.659
 let alone think about little, little Ireland,

00:21:45.259 --> 00:21:46.480
 just a hundred years old.

00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:51.279
 Communities and societies that seem to us invincible,

00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:54.159
 think of the Soviet Union,

00:21:54.779 --> 00:21:57.599
 can fall away very rapidly.

00:21:58.019 --> 00:21:59.639
 Communities can just collapse.

00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:03.059
 We find the church community

00:22:03.059 --> 00:22:06.099
 under the same external pressures

00:22:06.099 --> 00:22:08.299
 that our country is under.

00:22:08.919 --> 00:22:11.220
 Our society, our way of life

00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:12.659
 as the Christian community

00:22:12.659 --> 00:22:16.179
 goes back 2,000 years to Jesus Christ.

00:22:16.339 --> 00:22:17.460
 And even further,

00:22:17.619 --> 00:22:19.980
 when we consider the beginning of humanity,

00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:23.039
 there has always been the people of God,

00:22:23.299 --> 00:22:24.759
 those who worship God,

00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:25.819
 those who love God,

00:22:25.919 --> 00:22:27.599
 those who are called by God.

00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:29.599
 So the church,

00:22:29.959 --> 00:22:30.539
 God's people,

00:22:30.639 --> 00:22:32.659
 is an enduring community,

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:34.980
 surviving and growing

00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:37.199
 over thousands of years.

00:22:38.879 --> 00:22:41.139
 So what is it that will keep

00:22:41.139 --> 00:22:43.740
 this church going?

00:22:44.379 --> 00:22:46.240
 Or what is it that will keep the church going?

00:22:46.699 --> 00:22:48.099
 Do we need Leo's playbook?

00:22:48.699 --> 00:22:50.719
 The call for community in one hand

00:22:50.719 --> 00:22:52.279
 with the law book in the other,

00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:53.200
 and we just, you know,

00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:53.639
 a little,

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:55.240
 Christian life is really need

00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:57.099
 a little bit from like column A

00:22:57.099 --> 00:22:58.519
 and a little bit from column B

00:22:58.519 --> 00:22:59.440
 and you mix them together

00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:01.740
 and that's how you keep

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:03.259
 the community going.

00:23:03.399 --> 00:23:04.879
 That's how you keep the lights on.

00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:08.399
 I'm going to have to remember,

00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:09.920
 I'm going to do really bad on the slides.

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:11.079
 Two paths.

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:13.039
 Well, there are indeed two paths

00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:15.319
 for church communities to walk.

00:23:15.539 --> 00:23:19.339
 Two ways to try and keep it all together.

00:23:19.339 --> 00:23:21.339
 And we see that in this passage.

00:23:21.539 --> 00:23:24.959
 Paul has pleaded at each step

00:23:24.959 --> 00:23:26.839
 through this letter to the Galatians

00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.339
 that we follow the means of grace.

00:23:30.439 --> 00:23:32.359
 Follow the means of grace

00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.279
 to keep the church community,

00:23:34.959 --> 00:23:36.899
 to keep us on the path,

00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.419
 to keep us on the journey.

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:40.879
 Follow the means of grace,

00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:43.139
 which he calls in some places

00:23:43.139 --> 00:23:44.279
 the means of the Spirit

00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:45.500
 or the way of the Spirit

00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:46.559
 or living by the Spirit.

00:23:46.639 --> 00:23:47.519
 The same thing.

00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:49.599
 Grace and Spirit go together

00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:51.079
 from start to finish.

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.259
 The other path

00:23:53.259 --> 00:23:55.460
 is the means of law-keeping

00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:57.160
 to impress others,

00:23:57.420 --> 00:23:59.279
 which is the same as the means

00:23:59.279 --> 00:23:59.920
 of the flesh.

00:24:00.259 --> 00:24:01.960
 So law-keeping to impress others

00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:03.000
 and the flesh

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:05.759
 or we have the means of grace,

00:24:06.639 --> 00:24:08.660
 which is the means of the Spirit

00:24:08.660 --> 00:24:09.900
 and life by the Spirit.

00:24:10.779 --> 00:24:12.799
 And Paul talks in this section

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:14.160
 about sowing and reaping

00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:15.119
 to make the differences

00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:16.559
 really clear for us.

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:17.480
 So let's look again

00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:20.139
 at the passage in verse 7.

00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:22.839
 Do not be deceived.

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:25.220
 God cannot be mocked.

00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:27.659
 A man reaps what he sows.

00:24:28.339 --> 00:24:31.279
 Whoever sows to please their flesh,

00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:33.519
 from the flesh will reap destruction.

00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:36.359
 Whoever sows to please the Spirit,

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:40.619
 from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

00:24:40.619 --> 00:24:42.539
 We all have two ways to live,

00:24:42.539 --> 00:24:44.199
 two ways to sow,

00:24:44.579 --> 00:24:46.059
 and two ways to reap.

00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:50.419
 We all have fundamental commitments

00:24:50.419 --> 00:24:51.500
 in our lives.

00:24:52.979 --> 00:24:54.119
 And those fundamental commitments

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:55.979
 are either, Paul says,

00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:57.699
 ultimately to the flesh

00:24:57.699 --> 00:25:01.019
 or ultimately to the Spirit.

00:25:01.779 --> 00:25:03.459
 What we sow to

00:25:03.459 --> 00:25:06.239
 is what we will reap from.

00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:08.819
 And as the church community,

00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:10.259
 as the church,

00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.480
 our commitment must be

00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:14.920
 to grace

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:16.799
 and to the Spirit

00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:18.460
 on our journey together.

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:20.559
 Look back, as I said,

00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:22.120
 this is all through the book

00:25:22.120 --> 00:25:23.559
 and as we finish Galatians,

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:25.839
 it's good to see that thread

00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:26.799
 that runs all through.

00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:28.359
 If you turn back with me

00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:30.880
 to chapter 3 and verse 3.

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:32.840
 Galatians chapter 3 and verse 3.

00:25:34.560 --> 00:25:36.340
 Paul, speaking to the church

00:25:36.340 --> 00:25:39.400
 and maybe rightly frustrated,

00:25:39.520 --> 00:25:39.720
 he says,

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.700
 are you so foolish?

00:25:42.340 --> 00:25:45.000
 After beginning by means of the Spirit,

00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:47.480
 are you now trying to finish

00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:48.780
 by means of the flesh?

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:50.480
 You've started with the Spirit

00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:51.500
 and now you're trying to finish

00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:52.280
 with the flesh.

00:25:53.040 --> 00:25:54.900
 Or turn over the page

00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:57.600
 to chapter 5 and verse 7.

00:25:58.520 --> 00:25:59.700
 This is how he describes

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:00.460
 what was happening.

00:26:00.460 --> 00:26:02.600
 You were running a good race.

00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:05.180
 You were running a good race.

00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:06.519
 Who cut in

00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:09.600
 to keep you from obeying the truth?

00:26:11.980 --> 00:26:14.319
 Verse 16 in the same chapter,

00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:15.460
 chapter 5.

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:18.220
 So I say,

00:26:18.819 --> 00:26:21.220
 live by the Spirit.

00:26:22.700 --> 00:26:24.259
 Live by the Spirit

00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:25.600
 and you will not gratify

00:26:25.600 --> 00:26:27.059
 the desires of the flesh.

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:30.299
 And again we come to chapter 6.

00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:32.120
 verses 7 and 8.

00:26:32.120 --> 00:26:33.400
 Do not be deceived.

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:35.340
 God cannot be mocked.

00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.539
 A man reaps what he sows.

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:42.059
 Whoever sows to please their flesh,

00:26:42.600 --> 00:26:44.759
 from the flesh will reap destruction.

00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:47.720
 Whoever sows to please the Spirit,

00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.500
 from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:54.640
 Do not be deceived.

00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:56.319
 God cannot be mocked.

00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:58.460
 We are all investing

00:26:58.460 --> 00:27:00.519
 all the time.

00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:02.019
 We are all sowing

00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:03.500
 all the time.

00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:06.119
 And we sow with our time

00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:06.859
 somewhere.

00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:08.140
 What we do with our time,

00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:09.039
 what we're sowing that

00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:09.740
 somewhere.

00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:13.380
 We plant our hours

00:27:13.380 --> 00:27:14.279
 and our days

00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:15.519
 as we walk

00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:17.200
 through this life

00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:18.160
 into what we value.

00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:19.400
 From cradle to the grave,

00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:20.800
 we're making those decisions

00:27:20.800 --> 00:27:22.180
 all the time

00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:23.660
 with our time.

00:27:23.660 --> 00:27:25.160
 We're sowing it somewhere.

00:27:26.140 --> 00:27:27.960
 And we're sowing our money

00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:29.180
 and our finances

00:27:29.180 --> 00:27:30.120
 and our gifts

00:27:30.120 --> 00:27:31.460
 to something.

00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:34.060
 We're buying the things

00:27:34.060 --> 00:27:35.960
 that please us.

00:27:36.500 --> 00:27:37.200
 We are sowing

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:38.580
 and we are reaping.

00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:39.400
 We are sowing

00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:40.380
 and we are reaping.

00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:41.160
 We are sowing

00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:42.380
 and we are reaping.

00:27:43.060 --> 00:27:44.100
 To something

00:27:44.100 --> 00:27:45.740
 or somewhere.

00:27:45.740 --> 00:27:47.880
 to either the flesh

00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:49.920
 or to the spirit.

00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:51.759
 To either self

00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:53.539
 or Christ.

00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:55.180
 Listen again

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:56.019
 to the two paths.

00:27:56.380 --> 00:27:57.680
 Whoever sows

00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:58.559
 to please

00:27:58.559 --> 00:27:59.640
 their flesh

00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:01.380
 from the flesh

00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:02.440
 will reap destruction.

00:28:03.339 --> 00:28:04.120
 Whoever sows

00:28:04.120 --> 00:28:05.480
 to please the spirit

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:06.759
 from the spirit

00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:08.799
 will reap eternal life.

00:28:10.420 --> 00:28:11.420
 And so

00:28:11.420 --> 00:28:12.420
 when the pressure

00:28:12.420 --> 00:28:13.240
 comes on

00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:15.779
 as it has done

00:28:15.779 --> 00:28:16.859
 in these past months

00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:18.359
 we are

00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:19.460
 revealing

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:20.240
 our heart

00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:20.900
 commitments

00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:22.519
 to God.

00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:24.539
 And we're revealing

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:25.500
 them to one another

00:28:25.500 --> 00:28:26.279
 in this community.

00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:28.059
 And we're revealing

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:29.220
 them to a watching

00:28:29.220 --> 00:28:30.339
 world.

00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:31.960
 And God

00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:33.920
 cannot be mocked.

00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:35.120
 There's a

00:28:35.120 --> 00:28:36.519
 givenness.

00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:37.440
 That's what that means.

00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:38.440
 There's a givenness

00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:39.099
 to the way

00:28:39.099 --> 00:28:40.700
 God's world

00:28:40.700 --> 00:28:41.120
 works.

00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:41.659
 Even with all

00:28:41.659 --> 00:28:42.359
 of the sin

00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:44.000
 and anti-God

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.279
 things

00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:44.619
 there's still

00:28:44.619 --> 00:28:45.500
 a givenness

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:46.339
 to how the world

00:28:46.339 --> 00:28:46.919
 works.

00:28:47.899 --> 00:28:48.179
 Because

00:28:48.179 --> 00:28:49.599
 as you sow

00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:50.779
 you will reap.

00:28:51.159 --> 00:28:51.839
 There is a

00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:52.819
 cause

00:28:52.819 --> 00:28:53.979
 and an effect

00:28:53.979 --> 00:28:54.699
 element.

00:28:55.099 --> 00:28:55.659
 Our sowing

00:28:55.659 --> 00:28:56.659
 and our reaping

00:28:56.659 --> 00:28:58.299
 will show us

00:28:58.299 --> 00:28:59.299
 where our hearts

00:28:59.299 --> 00:28:59.819
 lie

00:28:59.819 --> 00:29:01.459
 and the path

00:29:01.459 --> 00:29:02.500
 that we are on.

00:29:05.219 --> 00:29:05.739
 Firstly

00:29:05.739 --> 00:29:06.259
 the path

00:29:06.259 --> 00:29:06.839
 of the flesh

00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:07.500
 says

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:08.239
 whoever sows

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.720
 to please

00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:09.400
 their flesh

00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:10.539
 from the flesh

00:29:10.539 --> 00:29:11.160
 will reap

00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:11.920
 destruction.

00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:13.859
 Now the word

00:29:13.859 --> 00:29:14.359
 flesh

00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:14.819
 is a very

00:29:14.819 --> 00:29:16.000
 flexible word

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.720
 in the Bible.

00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:17.579
 I don't know

00:29:17.579 --> 00:29:18.099
 how many times

00:29:18.099 --> 00:29:18.700
 you come across

00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:19.180
 and you're like

00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:20.400
 ah what does it

00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:20.920
 mean here?

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:22.460
 Well just to explain

00:29:22.460 --> 00:29:23.799
 flesh can literally

00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:24.700
 mean skin

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:25.500
 and bones

00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:26.079
 you know

00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:27.500
 just literally

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:28.359
 as we think

00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:29.480
 of the flesh

00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:30.120
 or the meat

00:29:30.120 --> 00:29:30.559
 almost

00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:31.039
 the body.

00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:32.779
 It's also

00:29:32.779 --> 00:29:33.339
 sometimes used

00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:33.620
 as a way

00:29:33.620 --> 00:29:33.920
 of saying

00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:34.339
 that someone

00:29:34.339 --> 00:29:34.940
 is a human

00:29:34.940 --> 00:29:35.380
 being

00:29:35.380 --> 00:29:35.839
 they're of

00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:36.420
 the flesh

00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:36.859
 the flesh

00:29:36.859 --> 00:29:37.359
 of Adam

00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:38.000
 they're a human.

00:29:39.179 --> 00:29:39.939
 It can also

00:29:39.939 --> 00:29:40.799
 be used

00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:42.179
 to refer

00:29:42.179 --> 00:29:43.019
 to the part

00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:43.639
 of us

00:29:43.639 --> 00:29:44.899
 as Christians

00:29:44.899 --> 00:29:45.779
 that is prone

00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:46.719
 to still sin

00:29:46.719 --> 00:29:47.419
 so we can talk

00:29:47.419 --> 00:29:48.000
 about battling

00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:48.579
 the flesh

00:29:48.579 --> 00:29:49.579
 as a believer.

00:29:51.659 --> 00:29:52.099
 And so we need

00:29:52.099 --> 00:29:52.699
 to look

00:29:52.699 --> 00:29:53.839
 very carefully

00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:54.259
 when we see

00:29:54.259 --> 00:29:54.879
 the word flesh

00:29:54.879 --> 00:29:55.259
 to try and

00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:55.740
 understand

00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:56.979
 from how

00:29:56.979 --> 00:29:57.619
 it's used

00:29:57.619 --> 00:29:58.319
 in context

00:29:58.319 --> 00:29:58.799
 to what it

00:29:58.799 --> 00:29:59.159
 means.

00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:00.279
 And here

00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:00.599
 I think

00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:01.539
 it's primarily

00:30:01.539 --> 00:30:02.859
 it's being used

00:30:02.859 --> 00:30:04.079
 in another way.

00:30:04.819 --> 00:30:05.219
 I think the

00:30:05.219 --> 00:30:05.779
 best way

00:30:05.779 --> 00:30:06.399
 to understand

00:30:06.399 --> 00:30:07.460
 flesh here

00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:08.259
 is an

00:30:08.259 --> 00:30:09.460
 individual's

00:30:09.460 --> 00:30:10.660
 settled

00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:11.799
 opposition

00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:12.779
 to the

00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:13.240
 way of

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:13.720
 Christ

00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:15.200
 as they

00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:15.660
 live for

00:30:15.660 --> 00:30:16.139
 themselves.

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:16.339
 An

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:17.420
 individual's

00:30:17.420 --> 00:30:18.059
 settled

00:30:18.059 --> 00:30:18.619
 opposition

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:19.160
 to the

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:19.539
 way of

00:30:19.539 --> 00:30:19.960
 Christ

00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:20.339
 as they

00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:20.759
 live

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:21.500
 for

00:30:21.500 --> 00:30:22.059
 themselves.

00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:22.279
 Because

00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:22.740
 Paul is

00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:23.039
 drawing a

00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:24.099
 very strong

00:30:24.099 --> 00:30:25.259
 distinction

00:30:25.259 --> 00:30:25.759
 isn't he

00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:26.099
 between

00:30:26.099 --> 00:30:26.799
 sowing to

00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:27.259
 the flesh

00:30:27.259 --> 00:30:27.740
 and reaping

00:30:27.740 --> 00:30:28.200
 destruction

00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:29.200
 or sowing

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:29.579
 to the

00:30:29.579 --> 00:30:29.920
 spirit

00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:31.039
 and reaping

00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:31.480
 eternal

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:32.059
 life.

00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:32.639
 It's

00:30:32.639 --> 00:30:33.200
 flesh

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:33.579
 versus

00:30:33.579 --> 00:30:34.139
 spirit

00:30:34.140 --> 00:30:34.520
 is

00:30:34.520 --> 00:30:35.140
 really

00:30:35.140 --> 00:30:35.660
 self

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:36.000
 versus

00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.460
 God.

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:37.700
 And

00:30:37.700 --> 00:30:37.920
 Paul

00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:38.320
 spells

00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:38.500
 out

00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:38.680
 what

00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:39.200
 flesh

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:39.600
 living

00:30:39.600 --> 00:30:39.920
 looks

00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:40.180
 like

00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:40.300
 in

00:30:40.300 --> 00:30:40.420
 the

00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:40.800
 church

00:30:40.800 --> 00:30:41.400
 in

00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:41.620
 verse

00:30:41.620 --> 00:30:42.120
 12

00:30:42.120 --> 00:30:42.320
 and

00:30:42.320 --> 00:30:42.780
 13.

00:30:44.080 --> 00:30:44.680
 Those

00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:44.960
 who

00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:45.259
 want

00:30:45.259 --> 00:30:45.540
 to

00:30:45.540 --> 00:30:46.520
 impress

00:30:46.520 --> 00:30:47.000
 people

00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:47.720
 by means

00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:48.040
 of the

00:30:48.040 --> 00:30:48.560
 flesh

00:30:48.560 --> 00:30:49.380
 are

00:30:49.380 --> 00:30:49.640
 trying

00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:49.840
 to

00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:50.420
 compel

00:30:50.420 --> 00:30:50.740
 you

00:30:50.740 --> 00:30:51.000
 to

00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:51.259
 be

00:30:51.259 --> 00:30:52.300
 circumcised.

00:30:53.080 --> 00:30:53.280
 The

00:30:53.280 --> 00:30:53.440
 only

00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:53.820
 reason

00:30:53.820 --> 00:30:53.940
 they

00:30:53.940 --> 00:30:54.100
 do

00:30:54.100 --> 00:30:54.320
 this

00:30:54.320 --> 00:30:54.440
 is

00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:54.560
 to

00:30:54.560 --> 00:30:54.960
 avoid

00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:55.259
 being

00:30:55.259 --> 00:30:55.960
 persecuted

00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:56.840
 for

00:30:56.840 --> 00:30:57.080
 the

00:30:57.080 --> 00:30:57.680
 cross

00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:58.060
 of

00:30:58.060 --> 00:30:58.640
 Christ.

00:30:59.580 --> 00:31:00.160
 Not

00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:00.460
 even

00:31:00.460 --> 00:31:00.860
 those

00:31:00.860 --> 00:31:01.040
 who

00:31:01.040 --> 00:31:01.220
 are

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:01.920
 circumcised

00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:02.280
 keep

00:31:02.280 --> 00:31:02.500
 the

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:02.800
 law.

00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:03.680
 Yet

00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:03.840
 they

00:31:03.840 --> 00:31:04.039
 want

00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:04.299
 you

00:31:04.299 --> 00:31:04.460
 to

00:31:04.460 --> 00:31:04.660
 be

00:31:04.660 --> 00:31:05.380
 circumcised

00:31:05.380 --> 00:31:05.900
 that

00:31:05.900 --> 00:31:06.220
 they

00:31:06.220 --> 00:31:06.480
 may

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:07.100
 boast

00:31:07.100 --> 00:31:08.279
 about

00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:08.580
 your

00:31:08.580 --> 00:31:09.420
 circumcision

00:31:09.420 --> 00:31:10.600
 in

00:31:10.600 --> 00:31:11.140
 the

00:31:11.140 --> 00:31:11.600
 flesh.

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:15.039
 The

00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:15.560
 path

00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:15.799
 of

00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:16.299
 flesh

00:31:16.299 --> 00:31:17.299
 is

00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:17.480
 the

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:18.000
 path

00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:18.220
 of

00:31:18.220 --> 00:31:19.100
 impressing

00:31:19.100 --> 00:31:19.640
 others.

00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:21.539
 People

00:31:21.539 --> 00:31:22.080
 are

00:31:22.080 --> 00:31:22.860
 big

00:31:22.860 --> 00:31:23.960
 and

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:24.420
 God

00:31:24.420 --> 00:31:24.680
 is

00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:25.279
 quite

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:26.000
 small.

00:31:27.060 --> 00:31:27.440
 On

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:27.600
 the

00:31:27.600 --> 00:31:28.180
 path

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:28.340
 of

00:31:28.340 --> 00:31:28.539
 the

00:31:28.539 --> 00:31:29.060
 flesh

00:31:29.059 --> 00:31:30.619
 what

00:31:30.619 --> 00:31:31.139
 others

00:31:31.139 --> 00:31:31.779
 think

00:31:31.779 --> 00:31:32.899
 is

00:31:32.899 --> 00:31:33.059
 our

00:31:33.059 --> 00:31:33.419
 first

00:31:33.419 --> 00:31:33.859
 thought

00:31:33.859 --> 00:31:34.000
 of

00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:34.240
 any

00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:34.599
 sign

00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:34.759
 of

00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:35.419
 controversy

00:31:35.419 --> 00:31:35.839
 or

00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:36.240
 pressure.

00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:37.799
 Verse

00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:38.159
 12

00:31:38.159 --> 00:31:38.579
 we see

00:31:38.579 --> 00:31:38.879
 that in

00:31:38.879 --> 00:31:39.039
 the

00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:39.299
 church

00:31:39.299 --> 00:31:39.480
 in

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:39.960
 Galatia

00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:40.159
 what

00:31:40.159 --> 00:31:40.359
 this

00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:40.759
 looked

00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:41.119
 like

00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:41.980
 because

00:31:41.980 --> 00:31:42.200
 you

00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:42.379
 could

00:31:42.379 --> 00:31:43.139
 impress

00:31:43.139 --> 00:31:43.700
 others

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:44.519
 by

00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:45.399
 compelling

00:31:45.399 --> 00:31:46.000
 people

00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:46.740
 to be

00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:48.419
 circumcised.

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:49.960
 Joe

00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:51.079
 over

00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:51.519
 there

00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:52.980
 never

00:31:52.980 --> 00:31:53.259
 been

00:31:53.259 --> 00:31:54.139
 circumcised

00:31:54.140 --> 00:31:55.200
 calls

00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:55.640
 himself

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:55.840
 a

00:31:55.840 --> 00:31:56.200
 Christian

00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:57.480
 comes

00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:57.940
 every

00:31:57.940 --> 00:31:58.480
 Sunday

00:31:58.480 --> 00:31:59.380
 but

00:31:59.380 --> 00:31:59.560
 he's

00:31:59.560 --> 00:31:59.900
 never

00:31:59.900 --> 00:32:00.300
 had

00:32:00.300 --> 00:32:00.460
 the

00:32:00.460 --> 00:32:00.800
 snip.

00:32:01.700 --> 00:32:02.020
 I'm

00:32:02.020 --> 00:32:02.180
 not

00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:02.520
 impressed

00:32:02.520 --> 00:32:02.680
 with

00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:02.860
 Joe

00:32:02.860 --> 00:32:04.160
 really

00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:04.480
 doesn't

00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:04.660
 seem

00:32:04.660 --> 00:32:04.800
 to

00:32:04.800 --> 00:32:04.960
 live

00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:05.140
 for

00:32:05.140 --> 00:32:05.540
 Jesus

00:32:05.540 --> 00:32:06.960
 completely

00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:07.660
 avoids

00:32:07.660 --> 00:32:07.800
 the

00:32:07.800 --> 00:32:08.080
 topic

00:32:08.080 --> 00:32:08.259
 of

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:08.720
 circumcision

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:08.960
 when

00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:09.060
 he

00:32:09.060 --> 00:32:09.259
 comes

00:32:09.259 --> 00:32:09.540
 up

00:32:09.540 --> 00:32:10.700
 not

00:32:10.700 --> 00:32:10.900
 even

00:32:10.900 --> 00:32:11.140
 sure

00:32:11.140 --> 00:32:11.320
 he's

00:32:11.320 --> 00:32:11.460
 a

00:32:11.460 --> 00:32:11.800
 Christian

00:32:11.800 --> 00:32:12.000
 or

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:12.120
 a

00:32:12.120 --> 00:32:12.400
 believer

00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:12.680
 really

00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:12.840
 he

00:32:12.840 --> 00:32:13.020
 really

00:32:13.020 --> 00:32:13.280
 doesn't

00:32:13.280 --> 00:32:13.480
 get

00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:13.580
 it

00:32:13.580 --> 00:32:13.780
 does

00:32:13.780 --> 00:32:13.940
 he

00:32:13.940 --> 00:32:14.820
 do

00:32:14.820 --> 00:32:14.860
 you

00:32:14.860 --> 00:32:14.980
 know

00:32:14.980 --> 00:32:15.220
 what

00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:15.440
 we

00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:15.860
 really

00:32:15.860 --> 00:32:16.180
 should

00:32:16.180 --> 00:32:16.500
 set

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:16.640
 up

00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:16.820
 a

00:32:16.820 --> 00:32:17.080
 Bible

00:32:17.080 --> 00:32:17.400
 study

00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:17.759
 series

00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:18.160
 again

00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:18.500
 on

00:32:18.500 --> 00:32:19.140
 circumcision

00:32:19.140 --> 00:32:19.900
 and

00:32:19.900 --> 00:32:20.180
 make

00:32:20.180 --> 00:32:20.400
 sure

00:32:24.140 --> 00:32:24.500
 somewhat

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:24.960
 ridiculous

00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:25.259
 doesn't

00:32:25.259 --> 00:32:25.720
 it

00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:26.320
 to

00:32:26.320 --> 00:32:26.520
 our

00:32:26.520 --> 00:32:26.900
 ears

00:32:26.900 --> 00:32:27.060
 in

00:32:27.060 --> 00:32:27.280
 these

00:32:27.280 --> 00:32:27.600
 days

00:32:27.600 --> 00:32:27.920
 thinking

00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:28.180
 about

00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:28.800
 circumcision

00:32:28.800 --> 00:32:29.060
 like

00:32:29.060 --> 00:32:29.240
 this

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:29.780
 because

00:32:29.780 --> 00:32:30.560
 as far

00:32:30.560 --> 00:32:30.759
 as I

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:31.060
 know

00:32:31.060 --> 00:32:31.640
 no one

00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:31.860
 here

00:32:31.860 --> 00:32:32.000
 is

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:32.660
 insisting

00:32:32.660 --> 00:32:32.860
 that

00:32:32.860 --> 00:32:33.160
 all the

00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:33.400
 men

00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:33.600
 need

00:32:33.600 --> 00:32:33.900
 to be

00:32:33.900 --> 00:32:34.840
 circumcised

00:32:34.840 --> 00:32:35.700
 in order

00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:36.080
 to say

00:32:36.080 --> 00:32:36.259
 that

00:32:36.259 --> 00:32:36.580
 we're

00:32:36.580 --> 00:32:36.759
 a

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:37.500
 faithful

00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:38.220
 church

00:32:38.220 --> 00:32:40.440
 but

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:40.600
 we

00:32:40.600 --> 00:32:41.000
 each

00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:41.540
 have

00:32:41.540 --> 00:32:42.380
 things

00:32:42.380 --> 00:32:43.180
 that

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:43.340
 we

00:32:43.340 --> 00:32:43.740
 insist

00:32:43.740 --> 00:32:44.080
 on

00:32:44.080 --> 00:32:44.759
 we

00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:45.000
 each

00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:45.140
 have

00:32:45.140 --> 00:32:45.420
 things

00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:45.580
 that

00:32:45.580 --> 00:32:45.680
 we

00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:46.060
 insist

00:32:46.060 --> 00:32:46.860
 on

00:32:46.860 --> 00:32:48.660
 Sheila

00:32:48.660 --> 00:32:50.100
 Sheila

00:32:50.100 --> 00:32:50.440
 doesn't

00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:50.660
 give

00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:51.180
 10%

00:32:51.180 --> 00:32:51.500
 of her

00:32:51.500 --> 00:32:51.680
 income

00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:52.020
 to the

00:32:52.020 --> 00:32:52.340
 church

00:32:52.340 --> 00:32:53.020
 a

00:32:53.020 --> 00:32:53.240
 little

00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:53.540
 bird

00:32:53.540 --> 00:32:53.660
 he

00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:53.920
 told

00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:54.120
 me

00:32:54.140 --> 00:32:55.240
 it's

00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:55.360
 in

00:32:55.360 --> 00:32:55.500
 the

00:32:55.500 --> 00:32:55.840
 Bible

00:32:55.840 --> 00:32:56.040
 you

00:32:56.040 --> 00:32:56.280
 know

00:32:56.280 --> 00:32:56.820
 it's

00:32:56.820 --> 00:32:56.980
 in

00:32:56.980 --> 00:32:57.120
 the

00:32:57.120 --> 00:32:57.460
 Bible

00:32:57.460 --> 00:32:58.440
 can't

00:32:58.440 --> 00:32:58.759
 believe

00:32:58.759 --> 00:32:59.080
 she's

00:32:59.080 --> 00:32:59.320
 not

00:32:59.320 --> 00:32:59.640
 doing

00:32:59.640 --> 00:32:59.880
 it

00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:00.440
 I

00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:00.620
 mean

00:33:00.620 --> 00:33:01.440
 what's

00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:01.540
 she

00:33:01.540 --> 00:33:01.860
 playing

00:33:01.860 --> 00:33:02.120
 at

00:33:02.120 --> 00:33:02.759
 the

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:03.020
 rest

00:33:03.020 --> 00:33:03.140
 of

00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:03.280
 us

00:33:03.280 --> 00:33:03.420
 have

00:33:03.420 --> 00:33:03.540
 to

00:33:03.540 --> 00:33:03.780
 carry

00:33:03.780 --> 00:33:03.940
 the

00:33:03.940 --> 00:33:04.259
 burden

00:33:04.259 --> 00:33:05.120
 it's

00:33:05.120 --> 00:33:05.280
 a

00:33:05.280 --> 00:33:06.140
 disgrace

00:33:06.140 --> 00:33:06.540
 if I'm

00:33:06.540 --> 00:33:06.840
 honest

00:33:06.840 --> 00:33:07.620
 quite

00:33:07.620 --> 00:33:08.100
 selfish

00:33:08.100 --> 00:33:08.480
 really

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:09.400
 brings

00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:09.540
 her

00:33:09.540 --> 00:33:09.840
 whole

00:33:09.840 --> 00:33:10.160
 church

00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:10.600
 down

00:33:10.600 --> 00:33:11.600
 and I

00:33:11.600 --> 00:33:12.080
 can't

00:33:12.080 --> 00:33:12.400
 even

00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:12.640
 be

00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:13.100
 convinced

00:33:13.100 --> 00:33:13.320
 or

00:33:13.320 --> 00:33:13.560
 sure

00:33:13.560 --> 00:33:13.720
 that

00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:13.940
 she's

00:33:13.940 --> 00:33:14.060
 a

00:33:14.060 --> 00:33:14.400
 Christian

00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:14.680
 when

00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:14.780
 she

00:33:14.780 --> 00:33:15.020
 doesn't

00:33:15.020 --> 00:33:15.160
 do

00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:15.500
 that

00:33:15.500 --> 00:33:16.720
 I'm

00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:16.900
 going

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:17.020
 to

00:33:17.020 --> 00:33:17.140
 have

00:33:17.140 --> 00:33:17.259
 to

00:33:17.259 --> 00:33:17.400
 bring

00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:17.520
 it

00:33:17.520 --> 00:33:17.740
 up

00:33:17.740 --> 00:33:18.220
 so

00:33:18.220 --> 00:33:18.319
 that

00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:18.400
 we

00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:18.519
 can

00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:18.720
 bring

00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:18.819
 her

00:33:18.819 --> 00:33:18.920
 in

00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:19.140
 line

00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:19.319
 with

00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:19.579
 church

00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:20.160
 practice

00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:22.660
 outside

00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:23.220
 pressure

00:33:23.220 --> 00:33:23.440
 can

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:23.640
 come

00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:23.799
 on

00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:24.140

 our

00:33:32.180 --> 00:33:32.640
 outside

 we

00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:33.319
 shift

 whole

00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:36.140
 denominations

00:33:36.140 --> 00:33:36.339
 can

00:33:36.339 --> 00:33:36.880
 compromise

00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:37.400
 on the

 Bible's

00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:39.920
 Julie

00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:41.460
 still

00:33:41.460 --> 00:33:41.720
 thinks

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:41.980
 women

00:33:41.980 --> 00:33:42.340
 shouldn't

00:33:42.340 --> 00:33:42.500
 have

00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:42.620
 the

00:33:42.620 --> 00:33:42.820
 right

00:33:42.820 --> 00:33:43.000
 to

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.440
 choose

00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:44.340
 well

00:33:44.340 --> 00:33:45.100
 I'm

00:33:45.100 --> 00:33:45.360
 glad

00:33:45.360 --> 00:33:45.600
 our

00:33:45.600 --> 00:33:45.860
 church

00:33:45.860 --> 00:33:46.160
 came

00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:46.360
 out

00:33:46.360 --> 00:33:46.539
 in

00:33:46.539 --> 00:33:47.039
 support

00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:47.340
 of

 it

00:33:52.100 --> 00:33:53.080
 he'd

 campaign

00:33:53.360 --> 00:33:53.539
 for

00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:55.340
 very

00:33:55.340 --> 00:33:56.080
 sad

00:33:56.080 --> 00:33:56.300
 that

00:33:56.300 --> 00:33:56.920
 Julie

00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:57.279
 is

00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:57.960
 arguing

00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:58.180
 on

 this

00:33:58.320 --> 00:33:58.600
 doesn't

 churches

00:33:59.600 --> 00:34:00.259
 change

00:34:00.259 --> 00:34:00.560
 over

00:34:00.560 --> 00:34:01.060
 time

00:34:01.060 --> 00:34:01.779
 we

00:34:01.779 --> 00:34:02.039
 gave

00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:02.200
 up

00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:02.660
 slavery

00:34:02.660 --> 00:34:03.500
 nobody

00:34:03.500 --> 00:34:03.860

 that

00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:04.500
 anymore

00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:05.380
 we've

00:34:05.380 --> 00:34:05.580
 caught

00:34:05.580 --> 00:34:05.720

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:07.759
 finally

00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:08.699
 but not

00:34:08.699 --> 00:34:08.980
 Julie

00:34:08.980 --> 00:34:09.860
 still

00:34:09.860 --> 00:34:10.240
 insists

00:34:10.240 --> 00:34:10.400
 that

00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:10.760
 abortion

00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:11.840
 is

00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:12.559
 wrong

00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:13.860
 and

00:34:13.860 --> 00:34:14.079
 both

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:14.300
 these

00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:14.720
 examples

00:34:14.720 --> 00:34:14.860
 of

00:34:14.860 --> 00:34:15.480
 insisting

00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:15.760
 on

00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:16.480
 say

 an

00:34:16.720 --> 00:34:17.220
 internal

00:34:17.220 --> 00:34:17.659
 matter

00:34:17.659 --> 00:34:18.059
 like

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:19.400
 tithing

00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:19.639
 within

00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:19.860
 the

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:20.260
 church

00:34:20.260 --> 00:34:21.380
 or

00:34:21.380 --> 00:34:21.940
 insisting

00:34:21.940 --> 00:34:22.099
 that

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:22.380
 we

00:34:22.380 --> 00:34:23.340
 move

00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:23.559
 our

00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:23.980

00:34:23.980 --> 00:34:24.240
 and

00:34:24.240 --> 00:34:24.619
 say

00:34:24.619 --> 00:34:24.880
 that

00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:25.380
 killing

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.199
 is

00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:26.579
 right

00:34:26.579 --> 00:34:28.260
 they're

00:34:28.260 --> 00:34:28.480
 both

00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:28.800
 ultimately

00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:29.300
 a form

00:34:29.300 --> 00:34:29.519
 of

00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:30.119
 people

00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:30.960
 pleasing

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.039
 whether

00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:32.280
 it's

00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:32.760
 inside

00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:32.940
 or

00:34:32.940 --> 00:34:33.179
 outside

00:34:33.179 --> 00:34:34.460
 the

00:34:36.860 --> 00:34:37.460
 big

00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:37.900
 in

00:34:37.900 --> 00:34:38.079
 our

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:38.380
 view

00:34:38.380 --> 00:34:39.579
 what

00:34:39.579 --> 00:34:39.820
 they

00:34:39.820 --> 00:34:40.260
 think

00:34:40.260 --> 00:34:40.800
 ultimately

00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:41.380
 matters

00:34:41.380 --> 00:34:42.480
 but as

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:43.019
 it says

00:34:43.019 --> 00:34:43.460
 here

00:34:43.460 --> 00:34:44.000
 verse

00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:44.539
 13

00:34:44.539 --> 00:34:45.400
 it's

00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:45.640
 a

00:34:45.640 --> 00:34:46.340
 fool's

00:34:46.340 --> 00:34:46.640
 errand

00:34:46.640 --> 00:34:47.059
 to

00:34:47.059 --> 00:34:47.640
 chase

00:34:47.640 --> 00:34:48.700
 popular

00:34:48.700 --> 00:34:49.340
 opinion

00:34:49.340 --> 00:34:49.980

00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:50.519
 this

00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:51.599
 not

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:51.840
 even

00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:52.280
 those

00:34:54.099 --> 00:34:54.820
 yet

00:34:54.820 --> 00:34:54.940
 they

00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:55.120
 want

00:34:55.120 --> 00:34:55.420
 you

00:34:55.420 --> 00:34:55.579
 to

00:34:55.579 --> 00:34:55.760
 be

00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:56.400
 circumcised

 they

00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:57.079
 may

00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:57.440
 boast

00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:57.660
 about

00:34:57.660 --> 00:34:58.180
 your

00:35:02.059 --> 00:35:02.539
 pleasing

00:35:02.539 --> 00:35:03.920
 becomes

00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:05.760
 hypocrisy

00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:07.540
 whether

00:35:07.540 --> 00:35:07.860
 that's

00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:38.720
 finally

00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:39.659
 fail

00:35:39.659 --> 00:35:43.139
 what do

00:35:43.139 --> 00:35:43.519
 you seek

00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:44.440
 to enforce

00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:45.539
 and this

00:35:45.539 --> 00:35:45.880
 is

00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:47.579
 this is

00:35:47.579 --> 00:35:47.860
 speaking

00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:48.320
 to me

00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:49.940
 what is

00:35:49.940 --> 00:35:50.220
 it that

00:35:50.220 --> 00:35:50.820
 you seek

00:35:50.820 --> 00:35:51.619
 to enforce

00:35:51.619 --> 00:35:53.019
 on others

00:35:53.019 --> 00:35:54.199
 in the

00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:54.619
 church

00:35:54.619 --> 00:35:56.720
 this past

00:35:56.720 --> 00:35:57.059
 week

00:35:57.059 --> 00:35:58.940
 talking about

00:35:58.940 --> 00:35:59.440
 your brother

00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:00.019
 or your

00:36:00.019 --> 00:36:00.480
 sister

00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:02.539
 your

00:36:02.539 --> 00:36:02.980
 Christian

00:36:02.980 --> 00:36:03.300
 brother

00:36:03.300 --> 00:36:03.740
 or sister

00:36:03.740 --> 00:36:04.039
 in the

00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:04.380
 privacy

00:36:04.380 --> 00:36:04.699
 of your

00:36:04.699 --> 00:36:04.880
 own

00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:05.179
 home

00:36:05.179 --> 00:36:06.059
 what do

00:36:06.059 --> 00:36:06.519
 you say

00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:07.500
 if only

00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:08.079
 they

00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:09.460
 and fill

00:36:09.460 --> 00:36:09.719
 in your

00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:10.059
 blank

00:36:10.059 --> 00:36:11.679
 what did

00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:12.000
 you

00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:12.900
 criticize

00:36:12.900 --> 00:36:13.940
 them for

00:36:13.940 --> 00:36:14.840
 this week

00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:15.699
 thinking

00:36:15.699 --> 00:36:17.039
 not very

00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:17.500
 Christian

00:36:17.500 --> 00:36:18.699
 not a

00:36:18.699 --> 00:36:19.380
 good example

00:36:19.380 --> 00:36:20.280
 not a

00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:20.900
 good witness

00:36:20.900 --> 00:36:22.980
 and we

00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:23.400
 may even

00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:23.880
 rightly

00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:24.519
 perceive

00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:24.920
 some

00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:25.480
 sin

00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:26.940
 tendency

00:36:26.940 --> 00:36:28.079
 in what

00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:28.240
 we're

00:36:28.240 --> 00:36:28.639
 saying

00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:29.759
 as Sam

00:36:29.759 --> 00:36:30.400
 reminded us

00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:30.779
 so well

00:36:30.779 --> 00:36:31.440
 last week

00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:33.039
 but we

00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:33.539
 fail

00:36:33.539 --> 00:36:33.940
 don't we

00:36:33.940 --> 00:36:34.319
 into that

00:36:34.319 --> 00:36:34.980
 temptation

00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:36.359
 from those

00:36:36.359 --> 00:36:36.759
 verses

00:36:36.759 --> 00:36:37.920
 that temptation

00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:39.980
 to impress

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:40.699
 others

00:36:40.699 --> 00:36:41.639
 with our

00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:42.179
 own

00:36:42.179 --> 00:36:43.599
 self-appointed

00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:44.480
 idea of

00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:44.920
 how

00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:45.719
 everyone

00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:46.139
 should be

00:36:46.139 --> 00:36:46.659
 more like

00:36:46.659 --> 00:36:47.019
 me

00:36:47.019 --> 00:36:48.960
 watch out

00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:50.940
 watch out

00:36:50.940 --> 00:36:51.639
 don't

00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:52.659
 don't boast

00:36:52.659 --> 00:36:54.039
 as it says

00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:54.420
 here

00:36:54.420 --> 00:36:55.179
 don't

00:36:55.179 --> 00:36:55.400
 don't

00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:56.199
 don't boast

00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:57.439
 in your

00:36:57.439 --> 00:36:57.899
 victory

00:36:57.899 --> 00:36:58.279
 to make

00:36:58.279 --> 00:36:58.619
 a fellow

00:36:58.619 --> 00:36:59.079
 sister

00:36:59.079 --> 00:36:59.519
 a fellow

00:36:59.519 --> 00:36:59.819
 brother

00:36:59.819 --> 00:37:00.219
 in a church

00:37:00.219 --> 00:37:00.460
 family

00:37:00.460 --> 00:37:01.039
 be like

00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:01.259
 you

00:37:01.259 --> 00:37:01.879
 you're not

00:37:01.879 --> 00:37:02.460
 impressing

00:37:02.460 --> 00:37:02.879
 God

00:37:02.879 --> 00:37:03.519
 you're

00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:04.059
 impressing

00:37:04.059 --> 00:37:04.599
 yourself

00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:05.219
 and others

00:37:05.219 --> 00:37:06.179
 we

00:37:06.179 --> 00:37:06.919
 fail to

00:37:06.919 --> 00:37:07.119
 even

00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:07.519
 keep

00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:08.139
 all of

00:37:08.139 --> 00:37:08.259
 our

00:37:08.259 --> 00:37:08.579
 own

00:37:08.579 --> 00:37:09.000
 appointed

00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:09.379
 laws

00:37:09.379 --> 00:37:09.919
 don't

00:37:09.919 --> 00:37:10.439
 rejoice

00:37:10.439 --> 00:37:10.980
 when you

00:37:10.980 --> 00:37:11.559
 compel

00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:11.919
 others

00:37:11.919 --> 00:37:12.819
 to be

00:37:12.819 --> 00:37:13.539
 like

00:37:13.539 --> 00:37:14.299
 you

00:37:14.299 --> 00:37:16.099
 Paul

00:37:16.099 --> 00:37:16.699
 tells us

00:37:16.699 --> 00:37:17.079
 where this

00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:17.599
 leads

00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:18.559
 back in

00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:19.219
 verse 8

00:37:19.219 --> 00:37:20.239
 whoever

00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:21.019
 sows to

00:37:21.019 --> 00:37:21.319
 please

00:37:21.319 --> 00:37:22.159
 their flesh

00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:23.439
 from the

00:37:23.439 --> 00:37:23.819
 flesh

00:37:23.819 --> 00:37:24.319
 will reap

00:37:24.319 --> 00:37:24.960
 destruction

00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:26.360
 sow

00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:26.579
 your

00:37:26.579 --> 00:37:27.000
 energy

00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:27.639
 time

00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:28.220
 and money

00:37:28.220 --> 00:37:28.980
 to this

00:37:28.980 --> 00:37:29.420
 Paul

00:37:29.420 --> 00:37:29.900
 says

00:37:29.900 --> 00:37:30.579
 and you

00:37:30.579 --> 00:37:31.019
 will reap

00:37:31.019 --> 00:37:31.619
 destruction

00:37:31.619 --> 00:37:32.380
 in the

00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:32.659
 church

00:37:32.659 --> 00:37:33.159
 family

00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:34.420
 and are

00:37:34.420 --> 00:37:34.880
 in danger

00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:35.400
 yourself

00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:35.800
 of being

00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:36.039
 on the

00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:36.420
 path

00:37:36.420 --> 00:37:36.840
 to your

00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:37.139
 own

00:37:37.139 --> 00:37:37.659
 destruction

00:37:37.659 --> 00:37:40.139
 please

00:37:40.139 --> 00:37:40.659
 pray

00:37:40.659 --> 00:37:41.300
 for

00:37:41.300 --> 00:37:42.300
 your

00:37:42.300 --> 00:37:42.659
 leaders

00:37:42.659 --> 00:37:43.599
 in this

00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:44.340
 please

00:37:44.340 --> 00:37:45.519
 we seek

00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:46.099
 to walk

00:37:46.099 --> 00:37:46.820
 and sow

00:37:46.820 --> 00:37:47.179
 in the

00:37:47.179 --> 00:37:47.659
 spirit

00:37:47.659 --> 00:37:48.420
 yet we

00:37:48.420 --> 00:37:49.440
 fail

00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:51.039
 at times

00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:52.420
 as elders

00:37:52.420 --> 00:37:53.360
 as deacons

00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:54.579
 as fellow

00:37:54.579 --> 00:37:55.099
 sisters

00:37:55.099 --> 00:37:55.799
 and brothers

00:37:55.799 --> 00:37:56.460
 among

00:37:56.460 --> 00:37:57.000
 you

00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:58.219
 our

00:37:58.219 --> 00:37:58.639
 position

00:37:58.639 --> 00:37:59.219
 is

00:37:59.219 --> 00:38:00.699
 perilous

00:38:00.699 --> 00:38:01.840
 apart

00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:02.519
 from coming

00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:03.259
 each day

00:38:03.259 --> 00:38:04.279
 and each

00:38:04.279 --> 00:38:04.799
 moment

00:38:04.799 --> 00:38:05.539
 to Christ

00:38:05.539 --> 00:38:06.440
 because we

00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:06.559
 are

00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:08.659
 definitely

00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:09.239
 tempted

00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:09.759
 to confuse

00:38:09.759 --> 00:38:10.340
 our own

00:38:10.340 --> 00:38:10.940
 standards

00:38:10.940 --> 00:38:11.779
 for those

00:38:11.779 --> 00:38:12.319
 of Christ

00:38:12.319 --> 00:38:12.860
 himself

00:38:12.860 --> 00:38:13.980
 as we

00:38:13.980 --> 00:38:14.400
 meet

00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:14.779
 and as we

00:38:14.779 --> 00:38:15.340
 discuss

00:38:15.340 --> 00:38:15.759
 and as we

00:38:15.759 --> 00:38:16.219
 disagree

00:38:16.219 --> 00:38:16.819
 and as we

00:38:16.819 --> 00:38:17.619
 come to

00:38:17.619 --> 00:38:17.980
 agreement

00:38:17.980 --> 00:38:18.299
 and we

00:38:18.299 --> 00:38:18.719
 seek to

00:38:18.719 --> 00:38:19.000
 lead

00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:20.420
 I know

00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:20.960
 that I

00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:21.440
 am tempted

00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:22.159
 to use

00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:22.940
 the tools

00:38:22.940 --> 00:38:23.440
 of this

00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:23.960
 world

00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:25.219
 the means

00:38:25.219 --> 00:38:25.719
 of the

00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:26.259
 flesh

00:38:26.259 --> 00:38:26.659
 to bring

00:38:26.659 --> 00:38:27.339
 about my

00:38:27.339 --> 00:38:27.839
 desired

00:38:27.839 --> 00:38:28.339
 outcome

00:38:28.339 --> 00:38:29.920
 I

00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:30.319
 super

00:38:30.319 --> 00:38:31.379
 spiritualize

00:38:31.379 --> 00:38:31.639
 my

00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:32.179
 preferences

00:38:32.179 --> 00:38:33.940
 and say

00:38:33.940 --> 00:38:35.519
 you know

00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:36.139
 if only

00:38:36.139 --> 00:38:36.579
 if only

00:38:36.579 --> 00:38:37.000
 it was like

00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:37.440
 this I

00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:37.659
 think it

00:38:37.659 --> 00:38:37.920
 would be a

00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:38.119
 better

00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:38.519
 witness

00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:38.940
 if only

00:38:38.940 --> 00:38:39.099
 it was

00:38:39.099 --> 00:38:39.279
 like

00:38:39.279 --> 00:38:39.679
 this I

00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:39.899
 think

00:38:39.899 --> 00:38:40.519
 it would

00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:40.899
 be better

00:38:40.899 --> 00:38:41.299
 for the

00:38:41.299 --> 00:38:41.679
 church

00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:42.039
 and be

00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:42.279
 more

00:38:42.279 --> 00:38:42.799
 Christian

00:38:42.799 --> 00:38:44.699
 pray

00:38:44.699 --> 00:38:45.339
 that as

00:38:45.339 --> 00:38:45.619
 leaders

00:38:45.619 --> 00:38:46.019
 we would

00:38:46.019 --> 00:38:46.460
 seek to

00:38:46.460 --> 00:38:47.079
 conform

00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:47.779
 people

00:38:47.780 --> 00:38:48.700
 to the

00:38:48.700 --> 00:38:49.100
 image

00:38:49.100 --> 00:38:49.519
 of

00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:50.140
 Christ

00:38:50.140 --> 00:38:51.340
 and stay

00:38:51.340 --> 00:38:52.100
 far away

00:38:52.100 --> 00:38:52.900
 from compelling

00:38:52.900 --> 00:38:53.640
 others

00:38:53.640 --> 00:38:55.640
 to fit

00:38:55.640 --> 00:38:56.440
 into our

00:38:56.440 --> 00:38:56.900
 own

00:38:56.900 --> 00:38:57.680
 mold

00:38:57.680 --> 00:38:59.800
 what

00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:00.340
 hope

00:39:00.340 --> 00:39:02.380
 what

00:39:02.380 --> 00:39:03.680
 what

00:39:03.680 --> 00:39:04.140
 hope

00:39:04.140 --> 00:39:05.760
 well

00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:06.580
 Galatians

00:39:06.580 --> 00:39:08.180
 chapter 1

00:39:08.180 --> 00:39:08.900
 verse 13

00:39:08.900 --> 00:39:09.720
 I think is a

00:39:09.720 --> 00:39:10.340
 reminder to

00:39:10.340 --> 00:39:10.800
 the hope

00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:11.080
 that we

00:39:11.080 --> 00:39:11.519
 have

00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:12.900
 Galatians

00:39:12.900 --> 00:39:13.580
 chapter 1

00:39:13.580 --> 00:39:14.400
 and verse 13

00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:15.120
 Paul very

00:39:15.120 --> 00:39:15.720
 early on in

00:39:15.720 --> 00:39:16.040
 the book

00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:17.619
 speaks of

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:18.059
 his own

00:39:18.059 --> 00:39:18.559
 hope

00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:20.539
 for you have

00:39:20.539 --> 00:39:21.079
 heard of my

00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:21.739
 previous way of

00:39:21.739 --> 00:39:22.119
 life in

00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:22.460
 Judaism

00:39:22.460 --> 00:39:23.360
 how intensely

00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:24.599
 I persecuted

00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:25.320
 the church of

00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:26.099
 God and tried

00:39:26.099 --> 00:39:26.880
 to destroy it

00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:28.000
 I was advancing

00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:28.579
 in Judaism

00:39:28.579 --> 00:39:29.380
 beyond many of

00:39:29.380 --> 00:39:30.119
 my own age

00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:30.599
 among my

00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:31.159
 people and

00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:32.019
 was extremely

00:39:32.019 --> 00:39:32.779
 zealous for

00:39:32.779 --> 00:39:33.559
 traditions of

00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:34.179
 my father

00:39:34.179 --> 00:39:37.719
 possibly the

00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:38.259
 best three

00:39:38.259 --> 00:39:39.000
 verses in

00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:39.340
 the whole

00:39:39.340 --> 00:39:39.739
 book

00:39:39.739 --> 00:39:41.159
 but

00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:42.279
 when

00:39:42.279 --> 00:39:43.320
 God

00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:44.719
 but

00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:46.000
 when

00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:47.000
 God

00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:48.159
 it's

00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:48.679
 Paul's

00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:49.179
 testimony

00:39:49.179 --> 00:39:50.059
 but

00:39:50.059 --> 00:39:50.940
 when

00:39:50.940 --> 00:39:51.900
 God

00:39:51.900 --> 00:39:52.920
 God

00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:54.260
 intervened

00:39:54.260 --> 00:39:55.260
 he showed

00:39:55.260 --> 00:39:55.840
 Paul that

00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:56.579
 the cross

00:39:56.579 --> 00:39:57.219
 of Jesus

00:39:57.219 --> 00:39:57.920
 Christ

00:39:57.920 --> 00:39:59.719
 he showed

00:39:59.719 --> 00:39:59.940
 him that

00:39:59.940 --> 00:40:00.380
 the cross

00:40:00.380 --> 00:40:00.699
 of Jesus

00:40:00.699 --> 00:40:00.980
 Christ

00:40:00.980 --> 00:40:02.099
 crucifixion

00:40:02.099 --> 00:40:02.860
 of self

00:40:02.860 --> 00:40:04.440
 crucifixion

00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:04.880
 of self

00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:05.099
 not

00:40:05.099 --> 00:40:06.099
 circumcision

00:40:06.099 --> 00:40:06.380
 of the

00:40:06.380 --> 00:40:06.639
 outward

00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:07.019
 flesh

00:40:07.019 --> 00:40:07.539
 but

00:40:07.539 --> 00:40:08.599
 crucifixion

00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:09.420
 of self

00:40:09.420 --> 00:40:10.440
 was what

00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:10.960
 really

00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:11.539
 mattered

00:40:11.539 --> 00:40:12.239
 what really

00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:13.139
 counted

00:40:13.139 --> 00:40:14.039
 and so

00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:14.259
 we can

00:40:14.259 --> 00:40:14.719
 go back

00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:15.039
 to

00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:15.940
 Galatians

00:40:15.940 --> 00:40:16.539
 6

00:40:16.539 --> 00:40:17.759
 and verse

00:40:17.759 --> 00:40:18.420
 14

00:40:18.420 --> 00:40:19.279
 and Paul

00:40:19.279 --> 00:40:19.619
 says

00:40:19.619 --> 00:40:20.699
 may I

00:40:20.699 --> 00:40:21.199
 never

00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:21.920
 boast

00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:22.739
 except

00:40:22.739 --> 00:40:23.980
 in the

00:40:23.980 --> 00:40:24.480
 cross

00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:24.980
 of our

00:40:24.980 --> 00:40:25.379
 Lord

00:40:25.379 --> 00:40:25.940
 Jesus

00:40:25.940 --> 00:40:26.739
 Christ

00:40:26.739 --> 00:40:27.739
 through

00:40:27.739 --> 00:40:28.179
 which

00:40:28.179 --> 00:40:28.960
 the world

00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:29.400
 has been

00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:30.039
 crucified

00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:30.859
 to me

00:40:30.859 --> 00:40:32.500
 and I

00:40:32.500 --> 00:40:33.460
 to the

00:40:33.460 --> 00:40:33.980
 world

00:40:33.980 --> 00:40:35.219
 that's

00:40:35.219 --> 00:40:35.719
 the key

00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:37.119
 that's

00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:37.559
 the key

00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:38.659
 but when

00:40:38.659 --> 00:40:39.339
 God

00:40:39.339 --> 00:40:40.920
 showed

00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:41.199
 us

00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:41.819
 the cross

00:40:41.819 --> 00:40:42.440
 of Jesus

00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:44.500
 the gospel

00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:45.099
 begins

00:40:45.099 --> 00:40:45.639
 and it

00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:46.199
 centers

00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:46.799
 and it

00:40:46.799 --> 00:40:47.480
 ends

00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:47.980
 on our

00:40:47.980 --> 00:40:48.420
 Lord

00:40:48.420 --> 00:40:48.940
 Jesus

00:40:48.940 --> 00:40:49.659
 Christ

00:40:49.659 --> 00:40:50.799
 and at

00:40:50.799 --> 00:40:51.440
 the cross

00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:52.299
 we find

00:40:52.299 --> 00:40:52.639
 him to

00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:52.960
 be

00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:53.279
 our

00:40:53.279 --> 00:40:53.879
 Lord

00:40:53.879 --> 00:40:54.639
 and

00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:55.239
 Savior

00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:57.519
 the world

00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:58.179
 Paul told

00:40:58.179 --> 00:40:58.579
 us earlier

00:40:58.579 --> 00:40:58.920
 is made

00:40:58.920 --> 00:40:59.359
 up of the

00:40:59.359 --> 00:40:59.940
 weak and

00:40:59.940 --> 00:41:00.379
 miserable

00:41:00.379 --> 00:41:01.219
 forces and

00:41:01.219 --> 00:41:01.679
 principles

00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:02.659
 the idea

00:41:02.659 --> 00:41:03.079
 of living

00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:03.779
 to self

00:41:03.779 --> 00:41:04.399
 insisting

00:41:04.399 --> 00:41:04.679
 we are

00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:05.019
 right

00:41:05.019 --> 00:41:05.659
 impressing

00:41:05.659 --> 00:41:05.980
 others

00:41:05.980 --> 00:41:06.819
 boasting

00:41:06.819 --> 00:41:07.159
 in our

00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:07.519
 victories

00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:07.859
 over

00:41:07.859 --> 00:41:08.279
 others

00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:08.960
 that's

00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:09.519
 the world

00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:10.100
 and it's

00:41:10.100 --> 00:41:10.700
 miserable

00:41:10.700 --> 00:41:11.340
 and weak

00:41:11.340 --> 00:41:11.920
 principles

00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:14.160
 there's only

00:41:14.160 --> 00:41:14.920
 one solution

00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:16.940
 and it's

00:41:16.940 --> 00:41:17.240
 at the

00:41:17.240 --> 00:41:17.720
 cross

00:41:17.720 --> 00:41:19.200
 put

00:41:19.200 --> 00:41:20.500
 to death

00:41:20.500 --> 00:41:21.400
 the world

00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:21.740
 and the

00:41:21.740 --> 00:41:22.140
 flesh

00:41:22.140 --> 00:41:23.019
 we must

00:41:23.019 --> 00:41:23.680
 die to

00:41:23.680 --> 00:41:23.920
 those

00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:24.320
 principles

00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:24.700
 of the

00:41:24.700 --> 00:41:25.100
 world

00:41:25.100 --> 00:41:26.900
 and the

00:41:26.900 --> 00:41:27.200
 world

00:41:27.200 --> 00:41:27.720
 must die

00:41:27.720 --> 00:41:28.340
 to us

00:41:28.340 --> 00:41:29.220
 not

00:41:29.220 --> 00:41:30.100
 death

00:41:30.100 --> 00:41:30.600
 for the

00:41:30.600 --> 00:41:31.040
 sake

00:41:31.040 --> 00:41:31.260
 of

00:41:31.260 --> 00:41:31.680
 death

00:41:31.680 --> 00:41:32.700
 but

00:41:32.700 --> 00:41:33.340
 death

00:41:33.340 --> 00:41:34.180
 so that

00:41:34.180 --> 00:41:34.600
 we may

00:41:34.600 --> 00:41:34.940
 be

00:41:34.940 --> 00:41:36.100
 reborn

00:41:36.100 --> 00:41:36.920
 verse

00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:37.540
 15

00:41:37.539 --> 00:41:38.679
 you see

00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:39.059
 neither

00:41:39.059 --> 00:41:40.300
 circumcision

00:41:40.300 --> 00:41:41.179
 nor

00:41:41.179 --> 00:41:42.259
 uncircumcision

00:41:42.259 --> 00:41:42.860
 means

00:41:42.860 --> 00:41:43.679
 anything

00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:46.059
 what counts

00:41:46.059 --> 00:41:46.480
 is the

00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:46.900
 new

00:41:46.900 --> 00:41:47.779
 creation

00:41:47.779 --> 00:41:49.719
 oh

00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:50.179
 what

00:41:50.179 --> 00:41:50.440
 what

00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:50.960
 glory

00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:52.400
 it is

00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:52.940
 only of

00:41:52.940 --> 00:41:53.119
 the

00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:53.619
 Lord's

00:41:53.619 --> 00:41:54.159
 design

00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:54.559
 and good

00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:55.000
 purposes

00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:55.380
 that

00:41:55.380 --> 00:41:56.500
 we come

00:41:56.500 --> 00:41:56.920
 to the

00:41:56.920 --> 00:41:57.460
 cross

00:41:57.460 --> 00:41:58.300
 and we

00:41:58.300 --> 00:41:58.880
 think of

00:41:58.880 --> 00:41:59.559
 the cross

00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:00.300
 we

00:42:00.300 --> 00:42:01.279
 die

00:42:01.279 --> 00:42:02.719
 at the

00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:03.099
 cross

00:42:03.099 --> 00:42:03.860
 in sin

00:42:03.860 --> 00:42:04.860
 and self

00:42:04.860 --> 00:42:05.860
 and we

00:42:05.860 --> 00:42:06.019
 are

00:42:06.019 --> 00:42:06.559
 raised

00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:06.800
 to

00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:07.300
 righteousness

00:42:07.300 --> 00:42:08.200
 we're

00:42:08.200 --> 00:42:08.599
 born

00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:09.039
 again

00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:09.480
 by the

00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:09.820
 spirit

00:42:09.820 --> 00:42:10.019
 of

00:42:10.019 --> 00:42:10.360
 God

00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:10.840
 we

00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:11.300
 give up

00:42:11.300 --> 00:42:11.680
 one

00:42:11.680 --> 00:42:12.120
 path

00:42:12.120 --> 00:42:12.420
 sowing

00:42:12.420 --> 00:42:12.740
 to the

00:42:12.740 --> 00:42:13.039
 flesh

00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:13.320
 and we

00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:13.780
 embrace

00:42:13.780 --> 00:42:14.120
 another

00:42:14.120 --> 00:42:14.519
 path

00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:15.240
 sowing

00:42:15.240 --> 00:42:15.660
 to the

00:42:15.660 --> 00:42:16.160
 spirit

00:42:16.160 --> 00:42:17.460
 and it's

00:42:17.460 --> 00:42:18.240
 crucifixion

00:42:18.240 --> 00:42:18.700
 it's not

00:42:18.700 --> 00:42:19.039
 it's not

00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:19.840
 circumcision

00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:20.620
 and rule

00:42:20.620 --> 00:42:21.000
 keeping

00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:21.559
 or

00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:22.760
 uncircumcision

00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:23.340
 and looking

00:42:23.340 --> 00:42:23.680
 to the

00:42:23.680 --> 00:42:24.079
 world

00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:25.260
 but

00:42:25.260 --> 00:42:26.420
 crucifixion

00:42:26.420 --> 00:42:27.740
 that brings

00:42:27.740 --> 00:42:28.360
 about a

00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:28.519
 new

00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:29.140
 creation

00:42:29.140 --> 00:42:30.599
 why the

00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:31.019
 cross

00:42:31.019 --> 00:42:33.039
 there

00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:33.699
 we see

00:42:33.699 --> 00:42:34.440
 the death

00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:35.119
 of

00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:35.539
 Jesus

00:42:35.539 --> 00:42:37.280
 so that

00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:37.920
 we might

00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:38.420
 have

00:42:38.420 --> 00:42:39.159
 life

00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:40.500
 his death

00:42:40.500 --> 00:42:41.139
 becomes

00:42:41.139 --> 00:42:42.059
 our death

00:42:42.059 --> 00:42:42.980
 and therefore

00:42:42.980 --> 00:42:43.960
 his resurrection

00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:45.280
 becomes

00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:46.179
 our resurrection

00:42:46.179 --> 00:42:47.179
 our sin

00:42:47.179 --> 00:42:48.599
 is exchanged

00:42:48.599 --> 00:42:49.239
 for all of

00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:49.980
 his goodness

00:42:49.980 --> 00:42:51.219
 his

00:42:51.219 --> 00:42:52.539
 perfect

00:42:52.539 --> 00:42:53.239
 flesh

00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:54.960
 ruined

00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:56.639
 so that

00:42:56.639 --> 00:42:57.519
 my ruined

00:42:57.519 --> 00:42:58.119
 flesh

00:42:58.119 --> 00:42:59.380
 may be

00:42:59.380 --> 00:42:59.940
 made

00:42:59.940 --> 00:43:00.759
 perfect

00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:02.260
 as he

00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:02.780
 rises

00:43:02.780 --> 00:43:03.940
 and as he

00:43:03.940 --> 00:43:04.460
 ascends

00:43:04.460 --> 00:43:04.880
 to the

00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:05.240
 father

00:43:05.240 --> 00:43:05.680
 his

00:43:05.680 --> 00:43:06.300
 spirit

00:43:06.300 --> 00:43:06.940
 the

00:43:06.940 --> 00:43:07.220
 holy

00:43:07.220 --> 00:43:07.640
 spirit

00:43:07.640 --> 00:43:07.860
 is

00:43:07.860 --> 00:43:08.340
 poured

00:43:08.340 --> 00:43:08.560
 out

00:43:08.560 --> 00:43:08.760
 on

00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:09.120
 us

00:43:09.120 --> 00:43:10.380
 and we

00:43:10.380 --> 00:43:10.540
 are

00:43:10.540 --> 00:43:11.280
 reborn

00:43:11.280 --> 00:43:13.040
 reborn

00:43:13.040 --> 00:43:15.240
 sinner

00:43:15.240 --> 00:43:17.320
 if you

00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:17.600
 are on

00:43:17.600 --> 00:43:18.160
 the path

00:43:18.160 --> 00:43:18.360
 to

00:43:18.360 --> 00:43:18.920
 destruction

00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:20.680
 come

00:43:20.680 --> 00:43:21.320
 to

00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:21.700
 the

00:43:21.700 --> 00:43:22.200
 cross

00:43:22.200 --> 00:43:22.600
 of

00:43:22.600 --> 00:43:23.060
 Jesus

00:43:23.060 --> 00:43:23.860
 and be

00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:25.260
 reborn

00:43:25.260 --> 00:43:26.160
 exchange

00:43:26.160 --> 00:43:27.040
 all that

00:43:27.040 --> 00:43:27.700
 you have

00:43:27.700 --> 00:43:28.920
 for

00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:29.500
 eternal

00:43:29.500 --> 00:43:30.480
 life

00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:33.320
 in that

00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:33.639
 moment

00:43:33.639 --> 00:43:34.099
 when we

00:43:34.099 --> 00:43:35.579
 came to

00:43:35.579 --> 00:43:36.019
 the cross

00:43:36.019 --> 00:43:36.219
 we

00:43:36.219 --> 00:43:37.360
 stopped

00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:38.900
 we stopped

00:43:38.900 --> 00:43:39.219
 when we

00:43:39.219 --> 00:43:39.639
 came to

00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:40.099
 the cross

00:43:40.099 --> 00:43:41.099
 our

00:43:41.099 --> 00:43:41.619
 but

00:43:41.619 --> 00:43:42.340
 when

00:43:42.340 --> 00:43:42.880
 God

00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:43.420
 moment

00:43:43.420 --> 00:43:44.000
 we

00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:44.340
 stopped

00:43:44.340 --> 00:43:45.099
 looking

00:43:45.099 --> 00:43:45.740
 to our

00:43:45.740 --> 00:43:46.119
 left

00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:46.519
 and our

00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:46.940
 right

00:43:46.940 --> 00:43:47.300
 for

00:43:47.300 --> 00:43:47.820
 justification

00:43:47.820 --> 00:43:48.380
 from

00:43:48.380 --> 00:43:48.780
 others

00:43:48.780 --> 00:43:50.559
 and those

00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:51.139
 scales

00:43:51.139 --> 00:43:51.460
 they

00:43:51.460 --> 00:43:52.699
 fell

00:43:52.699 --> 00:43:53.059
 away

00:43:53.059 --> 00:43:53.480
 from our

00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:53.880
 eyes

00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:55.360
 and we

00:43:55.360 --> 00:43:55.740
 saw

00:43:55.740 --> 00:43:56.380
 Jesus

00:43:56.380 --> 00:43:58.000
 God

00:43:58.000 --> 00:43:59.240
 became

00:43:59.240 --> 00:44:00.440
 big

00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:02.800
 God

00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:03.360
 became

00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:03.860
 big

00:44:03.860 --> 00:44:04.940
 and people's

00:44:04.940 --> 00:44:05.519
 opinions

00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:06.660
 of us

00:44:06.660 --> 00:44:07.220
 became

00:44:07.220 --> 00:44:08.200
 small

00:44:08.200 --> 00:44:09.140
 it was

00:44:09.140 --> 00:44:09.760
 glorious

00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:10.780
 it was

00:44:10.780 --> 00:44:11.180
 glorious

00:44:11.180 --> 00:44:11.519
 we

00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:12.220
 escaped

00:44:12.220 --> 00:44:12.880
 the wide

00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:13.480
 path of

00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:13.960
 destruction

00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:15.059
 and we

00:44:15.059 --> 00:44:15.500
 skipped

00:44:15.500 --> 00:44:15.940
 over

00:44:15.940 --> 00:44:17.079
 to the

00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:17.440
 narrow

00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:17.960
 path

00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:18.640
 of life

00:44:18.640 --> 00:44:20.920
 that's

00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:21.260
 why it

00:44:21.260 --> 00:44:21.519
 says

00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:22.140
 in verse

00:44:22.139 --> 00:44:23.400
 8

00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:24.500
 whoever

00:44:24.500 --> 00:44:25.440
 sows

00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:25.779
 to

00:44:25.779 --> 00:44:26.519
 please

00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:27.219
 the

00:44:27.219 --> 00:44:27.960
 spirit

00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:29.099
 from

00:44:29.099 --> 00:44:29.420
 the

00:44:29.420 --> 00:44:29.980
 spirit

00:44:29.980 --> 00:44:30.279
 will

00:44:30.279 --> 00:44:30.719
 reap

00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:31.659
 eternal

00:44:31.659 --> 00:44:32.460
 life

00:44:32.460 --> 00:44:33.679
 we

00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:33.839
 are

00:44:33.839 --> 00:44:34.259
 those

00:44:34.259 --> 00:44:34.519
 that

00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:35.059
 sow

00:44:35.059 --> 00:44:35.759
 to

00:44:35.759 --> 00:44:36.000
 the

 hallelujah

00:44:37.900 --> 00:44:38.159
 we

 have

00:44:38.319 --> 00:44:38.500
 been

00:44:38.500 --> 00:44:38.920
 born

00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:39.400
 again

00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:39.799
 at

00:45:12.219 --> 00:45:13.880
 now

00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:14.039
 the

00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:14.719
 path

00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:15.539
 for

00:45:15.539 --> 00:45:15.980
 believers

00:45:15.980 --> 00:45:16.320
 sowing

 spirit

00:45:16.739 --> 00:45:16.920
 is

00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:17.219
 not

00:45:17.219 --> 00:45:17.380
 an

00:45:17.380 --> 00:45:17.619
 easy

00:45:17.619 --> 00:45:18.119
 path

00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:18.820
 and

00:45:18.820 --> 00:45:19.000
 just

00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:19.360
 briefly

00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:19.679
 two

00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:21.480
 hints

00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:21.740
 to

00:45:21.740 --> 00:45:22.019
 that

00:45:22.019 --> 00:45:22.920
 in

00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:23.139
 this

00:45:23.139 --> 00:45:23.800
 passage

00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:24.039
 two

00:45:24.039 --> 00:45:24.539
 personal

00:45:24.539 --> 00:45:25.000
 reminders

00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:25.199
 from

00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:25.500
 Paul

00:45:25.500 --> 00:45:25.800
 verse

00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:26.199
 11

00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:26.719
 he

00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:26.880
 says

00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:27.320
 see

00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:27.599
 with

00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:27.820
 what

00:45:27.820 --> 00:45:28.199
 large

00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:28.840
 letters

00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:29.159
 I

00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:29.599
 use

00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:29.900
 as I

00:45:29.900 --> 00:45:30.300
 write

00:45:30.300 --> 00:45:30.480
 to

00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:30.619
 you

00:45:30.619 --> 00:45:30.820
 with

00:45:30.820 --> 00:45:31.039
 my

00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:31.280
 own

00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:31.780
 hand

00:45:31.780 --> 00:45:32.360
 it's

00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:32.659
 a

00:45:32.659 --> 00:45:33.159
 strange

00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:33.400
 kind

00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:33.519
 of

00:45:33.519 --> 00:45:33.940
 phrase

00:45:33.940 --> 00:45:34.800
 I

00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:34.960
 think

00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:35.320
 Paul

00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:36.219
 normally

00:45:36.219 --> 00:45:36.840
 and maybe

00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:37.179
 throughout

00:45:37.179 --> 00:45:37.420
 this

00:45:37.420 --> 00:45:37.679
 letter

00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:37.980
 up to

00:45:37.980 --> 00:45:38.159
 this

00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:38.460
 point

00:45:38.460 --> 00:45:39.039
 was

00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:39.920
 dictating

00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:40.460
 the

00:45:40.460 --> 00:45:40.699
 letter

00:45:40.699 --> 00:45:40.880
 to

00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:41.039
 a

00:45:41.039 --> 00:45:41.380
 scribe

00:45:41.380 --> 00:45:41.559
 who

00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:41.800
 wrote

00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:42.099
 down

00:45:42.099 --> 00:45:42.559
 exactly

00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:42.780
 what

00:45:42.780 --> 00:45:43.000
 Paul

00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:43.380
 said

00:45:43.380 --> 00:45:44.679
 and

00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:44.820
 it

00:45:44.820 --> 00:45:45.099
 seems

00:45:45.099 --> 00:45:45.219
 at

00:45:45.219 --> 00:45:45.360
 this

00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:45.539
 point

00:45:45.539 --> 00:45:45.800
 Paul

00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:46.099
 takes

00:45:46.099 --> 00:45:46.280
 the

00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:46.500
 pen

00:45:46.500 --> 00:45:46.900
 himself

00:45:46.900 --> 00:45:47.139
 into

00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:52.099
 Paul's

00:45:52.099 --> 00:45:52.900
 eyesight

00:45:52.900 --> 00:45:53.199
 may

00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:53.300
 have

00:45:53.300 --> 00:45:53.420
 been

00:45:53.420 --> 00:45:53.900
 afflicted

00:45:53.900 --> 00:45:54.019
 and

00:45:54.019 --> 00:45:54.240
 so

00:45:54.240 --> 00:45:54.519
 it's

00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:54.900
 quite

00:45:54.900 --> 00:45:55.340
 likely

00:45:55.340 --> 00:45:55.519
 when

00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:55.619
 he

00:45:55.619 --> 00:45:55.840
 says

00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:56.639
 see

00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:56.800
 what

00:45:56.800 --> 00:45:57.139
 large

00:45:57.139 --> 00:45:57.579
 letters

00:45:57.579 --> 00:45:57.820
 I'm

00:45:57.820 --> 00:45:58.059
 using

00:45:58.059 --> 00:45:58.460
 he's

00:45:58.460 --> 00:45:58.639
 kind

00:45:58.639 --> 00:45:58.699
 of

00:45:58.699 --> 00:45:58.820
 saying

00:45:58.820 --> 00:45:59.000
 look

00:45:59.000 --> 00:45:59.219
 my

00:45:59.219 --> 00:45:59.940
 eyesight

00:45:59.940 --> 00:46:00.179
 is

00:46:00.179 --> 00:46:00.400
 so

00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:00.740
 bad

00:46:00.740 --> 00:46:01.079
 I'm

00:46:01.079 --> 00:46:01.500
 writing

00:46:01.500 --> 00:46:02.300
 here

00:46:02.300 --> 00:46:02.559
 with

00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:04.039
 large

00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:04.559
 letters

00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:05.880
 his

00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:06.280
 eyesight

00:46:06.280 --> 00:46:06.539
 is

00:46:06.539 --> 00:46:06.880
 probably

00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:07.360
 failing

00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:07.679
 him

00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:08.760
 and

00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:08.920
 in

00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:09.139
 verse

00:46:09.139 --> 00:46:09.679
 17

00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:10.199
 from

00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:10.500
 now

00:46:10.500 --> 00:46:10.740
 on

00:46:10.740 --> 00:46:10.880
 let

00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:11.059
 no

00:46:11.059 --> 00:46:11.199
 one

00:46:11.199 --> 00:46:11.699
 cause

00:46:11.699 --> 00:46:11.880
 me

00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:12.360
 trouble

00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:12.920
 because

00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:13.219
 many

00:46:13.219 --> 00:46:13.400
 had

00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:13.719
 caused

00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:14.019
 Paul

00:46:14.019 --> 00:46:14.360
 trouble

00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:14.599
 in

00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:14.740
 his

00:46:14.740 --> 00:46:15.019
 defense

00:46:15.019 --> 00:46:15.179
 of

00:46:15.179 --> 00:46:15.280
 the

00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:15.599
 gospel

00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:16.300
 for

00:46:16.300 --> 00:46:16.440
 I

00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:16.699
 bear

00:46:16.699 --> 00:46:16.820
 on

00:46:16.820 --> 00:46:16.960
 my

00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:21.880
 his

00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:22.139
 body

00:46:22.139 --> 00:46:22.300
 the

00:46:22.300 --> 00:46:22.539
 marks

00:46:22.539 --> 00:46:22.679
 of

00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:23.000
 Jesus

00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:23.300
 Paul

00:46:23.300 --> 00:46:23.480
 was

00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:23.880
 beaten

00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:24.260
 he

00:46:24.260 --> 00:46:24.440
 was

00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:24.840
 whipped

00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:25.460
 he

00:46:25.460 --> 00:46:25.599
 was

00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:25.920
 left

 for

00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:26.500
 dead

00:46:26.500 --> 00:46:26.719
 he

00:46:26.719 --> 00:46:26.900
 was

00:46:26.900 --> 00:46:27.500
 shipwrecked

00:46:27.500 --> 00:46:27.619
 he

00:46:27.619 --> 00:46:28.000
 faced

00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:28.420
 wild

00:46:28.420 --> 00:46:28.980
 animals

00:46:28.980 --> 00:46:30.159
 all

00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:30.400
 for

00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:30.539
 the

00:46:30.539 --> 00:46:31.000
 gospel

00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:32.199
 you see

00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:32.619
 Christian

00:46:32.619 --> 00:46:32.880
 living

00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:33.159
 isn't

00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:33.320
 an

 academic

00:46:33.780 --> 00:46:34.460
 exercise

00:46:34.460 --> 00:46:35.800
 it's

00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:36.659
 daily

00:46:36.659 --> 00:46:37.619
 cross

00:46:37.619 --> 00:46:38.500
 carrying

00:46:38.500 --> 00:46:39.019
 sowing

00:46:39.019 --> 00:46:39.420
 to the

00:46:39.420 --> 00:46:39.699
 spirit

00:46:39.699 --> 00:46:40.199
 is not

00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:40.460
 the

00:46:40.460 --> 00:46:41.240
 easy

00:46:41.240 --> 00:46:41.760
 path

00:46:41.760 --> 00:46:42.760
 it's

00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:42.920
 no

00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:43.300
 walk

00:46:43.300 --> 00:46:43.440
 in

00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:43.559
 the

00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:43.960
 park

00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:45.699
 so

00:46:45.699 --> 00:46:45.820
 it's

00:46:45.820 --> 00:46:45.940
 the

00:46:45.940 --> 00:46:46.280
 question

00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:46.659
 how do

00:46:46.659 --> 00:46:46.840
 we

00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:47.699
 keep

00:46:47.699 --> 00:46:48.159
 going

00:46:48.159 --> 00:46:48.800
 how do

00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:49.480
 we

00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:50.000
 individually

00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:50.420
 and we

00:46:50.420 --> 00:46:50.679
 as a

00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:50.960
 church

00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:51.460
 keep

00:46:51.460 --> 00:46:51.880
 going

00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:53.139
 because

00:46:53.139 --> 00:46:53.519
 it is

00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:54.619
 hard

00:46:54.619 --> 00:46:55.840
 it's

00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:56.820
 wearying

00:46:56.820 --> 00:46:57.280
 at

00:46:57.280 --> 00:46:58.059
 times

00:46:58.059 --> 00:46:58.639
 and

00:46:58.639 --> 00:46:58.960
 for

00:46:58.960 --> 00:46:59.500
 seasons

00:46:59.500 --> 00:47:00.599
 this

00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:00.980
 time

00:47:00.980 --> 00:47:01.159
 of

00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:01.559
 covid

00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:02.000
 lockdown

00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:02.179
 in

00:47:02.179 --> 00:47:02.519
 particular

00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:02.760
 has

00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:03.240
 brought

00:47:03.240 --> 00:47:04.039
 an

00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:04.659
 unusual

00:47:04.659 --> 00:47:06.119
 strain

00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:06.800
 on

00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:07.059
 the

00:47:07.059 --> 00:47:07.500
 church

00:47:07.500 --> 00:47:09.280
 opportunities

00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:09.720
 to do

00:47:09.720 --> 00:47:10.000
 good

00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:10.199
 to

00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:10.380
 one

00:47:10.380 --> 00:47:10.740
 another

00:47:10.740 --> 00:47:11.699
 have

00:47:11.699 --> 00:47:12.420
 diminished

00:47:12.420 --> 00:47:13.880
 we've

00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:14.199
 not been

00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:14.559
 able to

00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:14.880
 meet

00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:16.559
 we've

00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:16.880
 grown

00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:17.360
 apart

00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:17.820
 in some

00:47:17.820 --> 00:47:18.079
 ways

00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:18.480
 and we've

00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:18.860
 formed

00:47:18.860 --> 00:47:19.659
 habits

00:47:19.659 --> 00:47:19.960
 of

00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:20.940
 isolation

00:47:20.940 --> 00:47:21.360
 from

00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:21.519
 one

00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:21.800
 another

00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:22.240
 as we've

00:47:22.240 --> 00:47:22.380
 been

00:47:22.380 --> 00:47:22.800
 cut

00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:23.360
 off

00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:24.360
 from

00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:24.579
 the

00:47:24.579 --> 00:47:24.940
 body

00:47:24.940 --> 00:47:25.460
 as it

00:47:25.460 --> 00:47:25.599
 is

00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:25.820
 meant

00:47:25.820 --> 00:47:26.019
 to

00:47:26.019 --> 00:47:26.320
 be

00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:27.679
 and

00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:27.980
 many

00:47:27.980 --> 00:47:28.179
 of

00:47:28.179 --> 00:47:28.360
 us

00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:28.619
 I know

00:47:28.619 --> 00:47:28.820
 have

00:47:28.820 --> 00:47:29.079
 felt

00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:29.340
 the

00:47:29.340 --> 00:47:30.099
 strain

00:47:30.099 --> 00:47:31.079
 of

00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:31.380
 coming

00:47:31.380 --> 00:47:31.920
 back

00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:32.139
 to

00:47:32.139 --> 00:47:32.639
 church

00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:33.539
 with

00:47:33.539 --> 00:47:34.039
 questions

00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:34.740
 we never

00:47:34.740 --> 00:47:35.200
 had

00:47:35.200 --> 00:47:35.599
 before

00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:35.960
 when we

00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:36.500
 came

00:47:36.500 --> 00:47:36.720
 here

00:47:36.720 --> 00:47:36.960
 on a

00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:37.159
 Sunday

00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:37.559
 morning

00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:38.440
 will

00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:38.599
 I

00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:38.780
 be

00:47:38.780 --> 00:47:39.440
 safe

00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:41.119
 what

00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:41.800
 can

00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:42.000
 I

00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:42.380
 do

00:47:42.380 --> 00:47:42.920
 what

00:47:42.920 --> 00:47:43.920
 can't

00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:44.099
 I

00:47:44.099 --> 00:47:44.440
 do

00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:45.420
 where

00:47:45.420 --> 00:47:45.700
 can

00:47:45.700 --> 00:47:45.880
 I

00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:46.519
 walk

00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:46.720
 or

00:47:46.720 --> 00:47:47.440
 stand

00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:47.639
 or

00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:48.179
 sit

00:47:48.179 --> 00:47:49.460
 will

00:47:49.460 --> 00:47:49.579
 I

00:47:49.579 --> 00:47:50.019
 upset

00:47:50.019 --> 00:47:50.539
 people

00:47:50.539 --> 00:47:52.079
 if

00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:52.219
 I

00:47:52.219 --> 00:47:53.759
 unintentionally

00:47:53.759 --> 00:47:54.179
 do the

00:47:54.179 --> 00:47:54.440
 wrong

00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:54.739
 thing

00:47:54.739 --> 00:47:55.119
 in their

00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:55.539
 eyes

00:47:55.539 --> 00:47:56.759
 am I

00:47:56.759 --> 00:47:56.960
 being

00:47:56.960 --> 00:47:57.399
 judged

00:47:57.399 --> 00:47:57.659
 for

00:47:57.659 --> 00:47:58.119
 wearing

00:47:58.119 --> 00:47:58.379
 or

00:47:58.379 --> 00:47:59.019
 not

00:47:59.019 --> 00:47:59.419
 wearing

00:47:59.419 --> 00:47:59.899
 a

00:47:59.899 --> 00:48:00.319
 face

00:48:00.319 --> 00:48:00.779
 covering

00:48:00.779 --> 00:48:02.460
 I

00:48:02.460 --> 00:48:02.919
 don't

00:48:02.919 --> 00:48:03.119
 want

00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:03.219
 to

00:48:03.219 --> 00:48:03.779
 upset

00:48:03.779 --> 00:48:04.619
 others

00:48:04.619 --> 00:48:06.139
 that's

00:48:06.139 --> 00:48:06.279
 not

00:48:06.279 --> 00:48:06.980
 why I

00:48:06.980 --> 00:48:07.119
 come

00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:07.279
 to

00:48:07.279 --> 00:48:07.599
 church

00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:07.879
 but

00:48:07.879 --> 00:48:08.500
 I

00:48:08.500 --> 00:48:08.819
 have

00:48:08.819 --> 00:48:10.199
 concerns

00:48:10.199 --> 00:48:18.659
 well

00:48:18.659 --> 00:48:21.119
 some

00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:21.219
 of

00:48:21.219 --> 00:48:21.419
 those

00:48:21.419 --> 00:48:22.000
 concerns

00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:22.359
 maybe

00:48:22.359 --> 00:48:22.819
 resonate

00:48:22.819 --> 00:48:23.519
 and I

00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:23.719
 think

00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:23.879
 we

00:48:23.879 --> 00:48:24.179
 all

00:48:24.179 --> 00:48:24.379
 need

00:48:24.379 --> 00:48:24.539
 to

00:48:24.539 --> 00:48:24.779
 look

00:48:24.779 --> 00:48:25.079
 then

00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:26.179
 from

00:48:26.179 --> 00:48:26.519
 verse

00:48:26.519 --> 00:48:26.980
 8

00:48:26.980 --> 00:48:27.779
 again

00:48:27.779 --> 00:48:28.579
 the

00:48:28.579 --> 00:48:28.960
 latter

00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:29.259
 half

00:48:29.259 --> 00:48:29.419
 of

00:48:29.419 --> 00:48:29.639
 verse

00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:29.859
 8

00:48:29.859 --> 00:48:30.079
 down

00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:30.239
 to

00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:30.539
 10

00:48:30.539 --> 00:48:31.659
 whoever

00:48:31.659 --> 00:48:32.339
 sows

00:48:32.339 --> 00:48:32.599
 to

00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:32.879
 please

00:48:32.879 --> 00:48:33.079
 the

00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:33.399
 spirit

00:48:33.399 --> 00:48:33.699
 from

00:48:33.699 --> 00:48:33.919
 the

00:48:33.919 --> 00:48:34.239
 spirit

00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:34.480
 will

00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:34.799
 reap

00:48:34.799 --> 00:48:35.199
 eternal

00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:35.619
 life

00:48:35.619 --> 00:48:36.599
 let

00:48:36.599 --> 00:48:36.919
 us

00:48:36.919 --> 00:48:37.439
 not

00:48:37.439 --> 00:48:38.000
 become

00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:38.379
 weary

00:48:38.379 --> 00:48:38.779
 in

00:48:38.779 --> 00:48:39.159
 doing

00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:39.579
 good

00:48:39.579 --> 00:48:40.779
 for

00:48:40.779 --> 00:48:40.920
 at

00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:41.039
 the

00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:41.340
 proper

00:48:41.340 --> 00:48:41.779
 time

00:48:41.779 --> 00:48:42.139
 we

00:48:42.139 --> 00:48:42.559
 will

00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:42.920
 reap

00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:43.099
 a

00:48:43.099 --> 00:48:43.460
 harvest

00:48:43.460 --> 00:48:43.739
 if

00:48:43.739 --> 00:48:43.860
 we

00:48:43.860 --> 00:48:44.079
 do

00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:44.380
 not

00:48:44.380 --> 00:48:44.639
 give

00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:44.960
 up

00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:45.860
 therefore

00:48:45.860 --> 00:48:46.599
 as

00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:46.719
 we

00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:46.940
 have

00:48:46.940 --> 00:48:47.480
 opportunity

00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:47.860
 let

00:48:47.860 --> 00:48:48.019
 us

00:48:48.019 --> 00:48:48.219
 do

00:48:48.219 --> 00:48:48.460
 good

00:48:48.460 --> 00:48:48.639
 to

00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:25.639
 this morning

00:54:25.639 --> 00:54:26.299
 just by reading

00:54:26.299 --> 00:54:27.359

00:54:31.480 --> 00:54:32.679
 our hearts

00:54:32.679 --> 00:54:33.920
 in this work

00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:36.039
 verse 14

00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:37.639
 may I never

00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:38.359
 boast

00:54:38.359 --> 00:54:39.079
 except

00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:40.199
 in the cross

00:54:40.199 --> 00:54:40.940
 of our Lord

00:54:40.940 --> 00:54:41.900
 Jesus Christ

00:54:41.900 --> 00:54:43.320
 through which

00:54:43.320 --> 00:54:44.180
 the world

00:54:44.180 --> 00:54:44.660
 has been

00:54:44.660 --> 00:54:45.079
 crucified

00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:45.660
 to me

00:54:45.660 --> 00:54:46.260
 and I

00:54:46.260 --> 00:54:47.019
 to the world

00:54:47.019 --> 00:54:48.440
 neither

00:54:48.440 --> 00:54:49.220
 circumcision

00:54:49.220 --> 00:54:50.519
 nor uncircumcision

00:54:50.519 --> 00:54:52.139
 means anything

00:54:52.139 --> 00:54:52.980
 what counts

00:54:52.980 --> 00:54:53.579
 is the new

00:54:53.579 --> 00:54:54.200
 creation

00:54:54.200 --> 00:54:55.639

00:55:01.680 --> 00:55:02.200
 let no one

00:55:02.200 --> 00:55:03.019
 cause me trouble

00:55:03.019 --> 00:55:03.720
 for I bear

00:55:03.720 --> 00:55:04.500
 on my body

00:55:04.500 --> 00:55:05.559

00:55:49.099 --> 00:55:49.759
 just for a

00:55:49.759 --> 00:55:50.139
 moment

 at the

00:55:51.139 --> 00:55:51.500
 passage

00:55:51.500 --> 00:55:52.019
 we've just

00:55:52.019 --> 00:55:52.539
 looked at

00:55:52.539 --> 00:55:53.360
 Galatians

00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:55.420
 chapter 6

00:55:55.420 --> 00:55:58.340
 together we

00:55:58.340 --> 00:55:58.699
 are going

00:55:58.699 --> 00:55:59.319
 to share

00:55:59.319 --> 00:56:00.759
 in the

00:56:00.759 --> 00:56:01.159
 Lord's

00:56:01.159 --> 00:56:01.420
 supper

00:56:01.420 --> 00:56:03.420
 as we

00:56:03.420 --> 00:56:03.739
 gather

00:56:03.739 --> 00:56:04.319
 together

00:56:04.319 --> 00:56:05.880
 as God's

00:56:05.880 --> 00:56:06.259
 people

00:56:06.259 --> 00:56:07.880
 it is

00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:08.559
 for those

00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:09.460
 who are

00:56:09.460 --> 00:56:10.019
 trusting

00:56:10.019 --> 00:56:11.440
 in Christ

00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:13.159
 for those

00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:13.760
 who have

00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:14.599
 that story

00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:15.200
 that we

00:56:15.200 --> 00:56:15.880
 were reminded

00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:16.440
 of that

00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:16.820
 they can

00:56:16.820 --> 00:56:17.440
 say but

00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:17.880
 when

00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:19.440
 when God

00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:20.280
 intervened

00:56:20.280 --> 00:56:21.220
 and caused

00:56:21.220 --> 00:56:22.059
 me and enabled

00:56:22.059 --> 00:56:23.599
 me to turn

00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:24.220
 to him

00:56:24.220 --> 00:56:28.760
 verse 14

00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:29.860
 says may I

00:56:29.860 --> 00:56:30.720
 never boast

00:56:30.720 --> 00:56:31.800
 except in the

00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:33.280
 cross of our

00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:33.940
 Lord Jesus

00:56:33.940 --> 00:56:34.500
 Christ

00:56:34.500 --> 00:56:36.420
 it's never

00:56:36.420 --> 00:56:37.760
 about our

00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:38.519
 performance

00:56:38.519 --> 00:56:40.320
 but about

00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:41.219
 Christ's

00:56:41.219 --> 00:56:41.840
 perfect

00:56:41.840 --> 00:56:42.639
 performance

00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:43.599
 on our

00:56:43.599 --> 00:56:44.099
 behalf

00:56:44.099 --> 00:56:46.900
 his life

00:56:46.900 --> 00:56:48.059
 from my

00:56:48.059 --> 00:56:48.559
 life

00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:50.420
 again to

00:56:50.420 --> 00:56:51.519
 use and to

00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:51.980
 think of the

00:56:51.980 --> 00:56:52.679
 language that

00:56:52.679 --> 00:56:53.219
 Ralph has

00:56:53.219 --> 00:56:54.000
 directed our

00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:54.780
 thoughts to

00:56:54.780 --> 00:56:56.280
 that Christ

00:56:56.280 --> 00:56:56.920
 came and

00:56:56.920 --> 00:56:57.460
 took on

00:56:57.460 --> 00:56:58.860
 our flesh

00:56:58.860 --> 00:57:00.240
 that

00:57:00.240 --> 00:57:01.300
 opposition

00:57:01.300 --> 00:57:02.280
 to God

00:57:02.280 --> 00:57:03.720
 and paid

00:57:03.720 --> 00:57:04.420
 the penalty

00:57:04.420 --> 00:57:05.760
 for us

00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:07.360
 dying

00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:08.599
 our death

00:57:08.599 --> 00:57:09.940
 living

00:57:09.940 --> 00:57:11.099
 the perfect

00:57:11.099 --> 00:57:11.620
 life

00:57:11.620 --> 00:57:12.440
 on our

00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:12.980
 behalf so

00:57:12.980 --> 00:57:13.500
 that we

00:57:13.500 --> 00:57:14.340
 could receive

00:57:14.340 --> 00:57:15.800
 the goodness

00:57:15.800 --> 00:57:17.460
 of his

00:57:17.460 --> 00:57:17.920
 life

00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:19.840
 so

00:57:19.840 --> 00:57:20.920
 there should

00:57:20.920 --> 00:57:21.720
 be a joyful

00:57:21.720 --> 00:57:22.420
 confidence

00:57:22.420 --> 00:57:23.099
 from us

00:57:23.099 --> 00:57:23.780
 today not

00:57:23.780 --> 00:57:24.579
 in self

00:57:24.579 --> 00:57:26.860
 but only

00:57:26.860 --> 00:57:28.099
 in Christ

00:57:28.099 --> 00:57:30.980
 and that is

00:57:30.980 --> 00:57:31.440
 what we are

00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:31.880
 going to

00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:32.279
 celebrate

00:57:32.279 --> 00:57:33.980
 together

00:57:33.980 --> 00:57:34.880
 as we

00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:35.519
 share in

00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:36.079
 the Lord's

00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:36.299
 Supper

00:57:36.299 --> 00:57:37.659
 we remember

00:57:37.659 --> 00:57:38.400
 we look

00:57:38.400 --> 00:57:38.900
 back to

00:57:38.900 --> 00:57:39.460
 that point

00:57:39.460 --> 00:57:40.059
 in time

00:57:40.059 --> 00:57:40.960
 where we

00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:42.119
 moved from

00:57:42.119 --> 00:57:43.440
 a life

00:57:43.440 --> 00:57:44.619
 of flesh

00:57:44.619 --> 00:57:46.500
 to living

00:57:46.500 --> 00:57:47.679
 by the

00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:48.199
 spirit

00:57:48.199 --> 00:57:49.699
 no longer

00:57:49.699 --> 00:57:50.420
 trusting

00:57:50.420 --> 00:57:51.159
 in self

00:57:51.159 --> 00:57:52.900
 but trusting

00:57:52.900 --> 00:57:53.500
 only

00:57:53.500 --> 00:57:54.960
 in him

00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:56.360
 we need

00:57:56.360 --> 00:57:56.739
 to come

00:57:56.739 --> 00:57:57.460
 back time

00:57:57.460 --> 00:57:57.880
 and time

00:57:57.880 --> 00:57:58.260
 again

00:57:58.260 --> 00:57:59.840
 and renounce

00:57:59.840 --> 00:58:01.780
 all means

00:58:01.780 --> 00:58:02.300
 and all

00:58:02.300 --> 00:58:02.800
 ways

00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:03.139
 of the

00:58:03.139 --> 00:58:03.460
 flesh

00:58:03.460 --> 00:58:04.360
 to confess

00:58:04.360 --> 00:58:05.559
 before him

00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:06.240
 to humbly

00:58:06.240 --> 00:58:07.260
 come before

00:58:07.260 --> 00:58:07.639
 him

00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:09.159
 and say

00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:09.800
 not I

00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:11.840
 but Christ

00:58:11.840 --> 00:58:14.059
 before

00:58:14.059 --> 00:58:15.179
 communion

00:58:15.179 --> 00:58:16.320
 is served

00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:17.280
 to you

00:58:17.280 --> 00:58:19.139
 Nick and

00:58:19.139 --> 00:58:19.659
 Ralph

00:58:19.659 --> 00:58:20.780
 or Alex

00:58:20.780 --> 00:58:21.119
 I think

00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:21.440
 are going

00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:22.000
 to do that

00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:22.679
 but you can

00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:23.260
 stay where you

00:58:23.260 --> 00:58:23.840
 are to be

00:58:23.840 --> 00:58:24.240
 served

00:58:24.240 --> 00:58:25.019
 to you

00:58:25.019 --> 00:58:25.519
 the bread

00:58:25.519 --> 00:58:26.019
 and juice

00:58:26.019 --> 00:58:26.320
 will be

00:58:26.320 --> 00:58:26.780
 brought to

00:58:26.780 --> 00:58:26.940
 you

00:58:26.940 --> 00:58:27.159
 in a

00:58:27.159 --> 00:58:27.420
 little

00:58:27.420 --> 00:58:28.800
 container

00:58:28.800 --> 00:58:30.079
 just take

00:58:30.079 --> 00:58:30.360
 it

00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:31.079
 eat

00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:32.440
 and drink

00:58:32.440 --> 00:58:33.159
 as you

00:58:33.159 --> 00:58:33.860
 receive it

00:58:33.860 --> 00:58:34.559
 and we're

00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:34.960
 going to play

00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:35.539
 a song

00:58:35.539 --> 00:58:36.400
 which you

00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:37.320
 can meditate

00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:38.019
 and follow

00:58:38.019 --> 00:58:38.500
 the words

00:58:38.500 --> 00:58:38.900
 on the

00:58:38.900 --> 00:58:39.320
 screen

00:58:39.320 --> 00:58:40.340
 as we

00:58:40.340 --> 00:58:40.940
 do that

00:58:40.940 --> 00:58:44.960
 the Lord

00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:45.320
 Jesus

00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:46.460
 reminds us

00:58:46.460 --> 00:58:48.780
 that he

00:58:48.780 --> 00:58:49.420
 took bread

00:58:49.420 --> 00:58:49.940
 and gave

00:58:49.940 --> 00:58:50.420
 thanks

00:58:50.420 --> 00:58:50.740
 and he

00:58:50.740 --> 00:58:51.340
 broke it

00:58:51.340 --> 00:58:52.099
 and he

00:58:52.099 --> 00:58:52.519
 gave it

00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:52.920
 to his

00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:53.440
 disciples

00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:53.860
 saying

00:58:53.860 --> 00:58:54.300
 this is

00:58:54.300 --> 00:58:55.000
 my body

00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:56.720
 given

00:58:56.720 --> 00:58:57.700
 for you

00:58:57.700 --> 00:58:59.440
 do this

00:58:59.440 --> 00:59:00.840
 in remembrance

00:59:00.840 --> 00:59:01.480
 of me

00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:02.920
 in the same

00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:03.420
 way after

00:59:03.420 --> 00:59:03.840
 supper

00:59:03.840 --> 00:59:04.820
 he took

00:59:04.820 --> 00:59:05.260
 the cup

00:59:05.260 --> 00:59:05.599
 saying

00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:06.360
 this cup

00:59:06.360 --> 00:59:06.700
 is the

00:59:06.700 --> 00:59:06.960
 new

00:59:06.960 --> 00:59:07.340
 covenant

00:59:07.340 --> 00:59:07.840
 in my

00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:08.200
 blood

00:59:08.200 --> 00:59:09.039
 which is

00:59:09.039 --> 00:59:09.559
 poured

00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:09.960
 out

00:59:09.960 --> 00:59:11.320
 for you

00:59:11.320 --> 00:59:13.360
 so as

00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:14.019
 we eat

00:59:14.019 --> 00:59:15.000
 of the

00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:15.240
 bread

00:59:15.240 --> 00:59:15.640
 as we

00:59:15.640 --> 00:59:16.220
 drink

00:59:16.220 --> 00:59:17.079
 of the

00:59:17.079 --> 00:59:17.539
 juice

00:59:17.539 --> 00:59:18.420
 we

00:59:18.420 --> 00:59:19.099
 remember

00:59:19.099 --> 00:59:19.400
 that

00:59:19.400 --> 00:59:19.860
 point

00:59:19.860 --> 00:59:20.519
 in time

00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:21.700
 where we

00:59:21.700 --> 00:59:22.260
 turn to

00:59:22.260 --> 00:59:22.660
 Christ

00:59:22.660 --> 00:59:23.240
 Christ

00:59:23.240 --> 00:59:23.640
 worked

00:59:23.640 --> 00:59:23.940
 in our

00:59:23.940 --> 00:59:24.340
 life

00:59:24.340 --> 00:59:25.400
 we

00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:26.079
 confess

00:59:26.079 --> 00:59:26.760
 our

00:59:26.760 --> 00:59:27.079
 sin

00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:27.660
 afresh

00:59:27.660 --> 00:59:28.800
 we

00:59:28.800 --> 00:59:29.240
 trust

00:59:29.240 --> 00:59:29.780
 in him

00:59:29.780 --> 00:59:31.039
 so

00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:31.400
 before

00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:31.680
 it is

00:59:31.680 --> 00:59:31.920
 served
