00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.960
 Have you ever had, I'm sure you have, just one of those mornings?

00:00:05.060 --> 00:00:10.359
 I'm having, or have had, been having one of those mornings this morning.

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:16.660
 I kind of foolishly, last night, in order to stay up a bit later and study a bit more for this morning,

00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:21.179
 drank Mountain Dew, thinking that'll help get my brain going.

00:00:21.339 --> 00:00:24.280
 But I'm fairly worthless mentally after dinner.

00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:27.000
 So all it really did is kept me up late.

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.240
 And I have a wife who's 20 weeks pregnant and needs her sleep.

00:00:31.339 --> 00:00:37.840
 And so I sent her off to bed and I took my place on the couch last night and went to bed about midnight.

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:47.079
 Woke up at about 5.30 this morning and discovered that our puppy had made quite a mess of herself and our laundry room.

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:53.179
 So this morning I had to put a puppy in a bathtub and scrub lovely things off of her.

00:00:53.179 --> 00:00:56.899
 My son is quite sick this morning.

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:03.780
 I have a 16-month-old at home, kind of wheezing and coughing and just has a nasty, nasty thing going on.

00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:07.939
 I sort of threw on clothes this morning, in case you didn't notice.

00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:12.340
 And I'll point out that I'm wearing Argyle socks with my plaid shirt.

00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:18.480
 Because they were the socks in these shoes from the last time I wore them.

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:21.760
 It's been quite a morning for me.

00:01:22.260 --> 00:01:25.960
 But I can say it is a privilege to be here with you this morning.

00:01:26.740 --> 00:01:28.760
 I love being with God's people.

00:01:28.939 --> 00:01:31.840
 And with all that going on and the chaos of this morning,

00:01:32.300 --> 00:01:35.580
 it is so good to get to be here with you guys this morning.

00:01:35.579 --> 00:01:41.840
 God has done a great work amongst us, calling together His church.

00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.099
 And there is evidence of that in this room.

00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.039
 So it's really, really good to be here.

00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:49.700
 And I hope you feel the same.

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.879
 We're preaching a bit of time here,

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.019
 kind of on both the vision of Christ Family Church and how that plays itself out.

00:01:58.019 --> 00:02:01.619
 And I mentioned last week the vision statement of our church,

00:02:01.780 --> 00:02:08.939
 that Christ Family Church exists to experience, proclaim, and display the supremacy of Jesus Christ in all things.

00:02:09.259 --> 00:02:10.500
 But how?

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.719
 How is it that we put wheels on that car?

00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.599
 How is it that that engine drives us down the road?

00:02:16.659 --> 00:02:20.699
 And we like to use a little analogy to kind of talk about the ministry of our church.

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:25.800
 And we use a tree both to talk about the life of our church and our Christian lives as individuals.

00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.960
 When we talk about roots, branches, and fruit.

00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.219
 The roots being that depth that we have, our knowledge of the Word of God,

00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:39.880
 our theological database, so to speak.

00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:46.000
 And we want to be both individuals and a group of people that put our roots down very deep.

00:02:46.100 --> 00:02:51.900
 We want to suck out of the Word of God everything that there is for us in it

00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:54.420
 because we believe the Word of God is inspired.

00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.000
 That it is sufficient for our Christian living.

00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:02.080
 And that all we need is found within it.

00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:08.540
 I joked around with the guys last week that I think that God is probably thrifty enough

00:03:08.540 --> 00:03:10.900
 that if all the words in this book were not inspired,

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:16.180
 He would have left some of them out so we could cut down on our printing costs as we produced it.

00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:22.900
 I think every word in it is valuable for us, whether you always feel that or not.

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.099
 The branches are our exaltation of Christ, our proclamation of Him,

00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:30.900
 the prayers that we lift up to Him, the songs that we sing together,

00:03:31.140 --> 00:03:32.760
 and then the fruit is the fruit of love.

00:03:32.860 --> 00:03:36.540
 Both to the church, the things that we do together to love on each other,

00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:41.760
 and then our fruit to the world, our service and our evangelism to the world.

00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.039
 So that's kind of our neat little analogy we like to use.

00:03:45.139 --> 00:03:50.419
 And as I told you last week in my preparation, I was led to Hebrews chapter 10,

00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:56.879
 and I found contained within it this analogy, but not in quite as neat a form.

00:03:57.060 --> 00:04:02.759
 So we're just going to preach through Hebrews chapter 10, verse 19 through 25.

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.579
 So let's read that together, and then we'll pray.

00:04:06.579 --> 00:04:10.759
 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,

00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:15.879
 by the new and living way that He opened for us through the curtain, that is, through His flesh.

00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.079
 And since we have a great priest over the house of God,

00:04:19.659 --> 00:04:23.079
 let us draw near with a true heart and full assurance of faith,

00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:25.980
 with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience,

00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.319
 and our bodies washed with pure water.

00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.920
 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,

00:04:32.159 --> 00:04:34.259
 for He who promised is faithful.

00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:38.420
 Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

00:04:38.579 --> 00:04:41.439
 not neglecting to meet together as is the habit of some,

00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:46.199
 but encouraging one another, and all the more, as you see today, drawing near.

00:04:46.579 --> 00:04:47.319
 Let's pray together.

00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:52.680
 Father, you are a good, loving God,

00:04:52.860 --> 00:04:58.379
 and you have displayed this in the most magnificent way in the work of Christ

00:04:58.379 --> 00:05:00.199
 and in the redemption of your church.

00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:01.699
 We thank you for that this morning.

00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:03.779
 We thank you for your word,

00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:09.279
 and I pray, Father, this morning that my preparation or lack of,

00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.180
 and your word and your spirit will collide this morning,

00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:17.060
 that you will give us ears to hear and understand

00:05:17.060 --> 00:05:19.400
 not only what the text means,

00:05:19.459 --> 00:05:21.680
 but what the text means for us,

00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.360
 for our lives.

00:05:23.420 --> 00:05:26.379
 You'll bring conviction on us as a church and as individuals.

00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:30.480
 Pray, Father, that you will have your way with us this morning.

00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:31.899
 We pray this in Christ's name.

00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:33.139
 Amen.

00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:35.780
 Alright, so last week,

00:05:35.780 --> 00:05:37.560
 we kind of narrowed in.

00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.600
 We focused in on the beginning of verse 22,

00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:42.439
 but to lead up to that,

00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.459
 we've been granted access now to God.

00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:48.259
 19 through 21,

00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:49.959
 because of the work of Christ,

00:05:50.019 --> 00:05:52.660
 we've been given access to God.

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.259
 And then we're given three exhortations in the text,

00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.040
 and they're all preceded by a little phrase,

00:05:57.620 --> 00:05:58.139
 let us.

00:05:58.500 --> 00:06:00.480
 So you see that, let us, let us, let us,

00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:01.800
 which is where we're at.

00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:02.879
 And last week, we began,

00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.480
 the very beginning of verse 22,

00:06:04.939 --> 00:06:06.399
 with a little phrase,

00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:08.180
 let us draw near.

00:06:09.139 --> 00:06:11.420
 To talk about Christian worship,

00:06:11.420 --> 00:06:13.460
 when I say that carefully,

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:14.340
 hear me very carefully,

00:06:14.740 --> 00:06:16.780
 we all worship all the time.

00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:18.900
 Everything you do is an act of worship.

00:06:19.080 --> 00:06:20.100
 What it is you worship

00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:22.199
 is to be determined,

00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:25.360
 but I'm talking about specifically Christian worship.

00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:27.080
 I'm not talking about when you

00:06:27.080 --> 00:06:29.639
 worship your car wrongly,

00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.000
 or a relationship you may have,

00:06:32.039 --> 00:06:34.399
 or how much money you have in the bank account.

00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:35.360
 That's not what I'm discussing.

00:06:35.419 --> 00:06:36.479
 I'm talking about Christian worship,

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:39.759
 and particularly corporate Christian worship,

00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.219
 which is not just the singing of songs,

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.419
 certainly includes the singing of songs,

00:06:44.459 --> 00:06:47.259
 but it's everything that we do together as believers.

00:06:47.259 --> 00:06:50.099
 That's why we call this a worship service,

00:06:50.219 --> 00:06:53.139
 which also includes the preaching of God's word.

00:06:53.259 --> 00:06:54.360
 This is an act of worship.

00:06:54.620 --> 00:06:56.959
 The listening to the preaching of God's word,

00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.800
 the prayers we pray together,

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.539
 taking of the Lord's supper together,

00:07:01.659 --> 00:07:02.920
 are all acts of worship.

00:07:03.099 --> 00:07:06.379
 And so that's what verse 22 really addresses.

00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:08.120
 And as I told you last week,

00:07:08.259 --> 00:07:09.519
 that beginning phrase,

00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:10.500
 let us draw near,

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.439
 is actually one word in the original,

00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.100
 which I told you was proser kamai,

00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:16.279
 and I was actually corrected.

00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:18.319
 That's the root of the word,

00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:21.240
 and I'm not even going to try to pronounce the actual word,

00:07:21.500 --> 00:07:24.079
 but the root of the word is proser kamai,

00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.740
 and we pulled out of that phrase

00:07:26.740 --> 00:07:28.459
 three things we should learn,

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.339
 three things we should know as Christians

00:07:30.339 --> 00:07:33.180
 about proper Christian worship.

00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.659
 There's a lot of heat without light out there

00:07:37.659 --> 00:07:41.079
 in the world around the idea of worship.

00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:42.819
 Worship battles in churches,

00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:45.240
 and many churches have split over this,

00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.659
 primarily music.

00:07:48.659 --> 00:07:51.279
 Some have accommodated all the crowds

00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:52.599
 in order not to lose anybody.

00:07:52.859 --> 00:07:56.779
 A large local church on their website

00:07:56.779 --> 00:07:58.639
 advertises their services this way.

00:07:59.019 --> 00:07:59.579
 They have three.

00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:02.299
 A traditional blend of praise and worship.

00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:06.699
 An inspiring and vibrant contemporary worship experience.

00:08:07.979 --> 00:08:09.560
 Contemporary acoustic worship.

00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.379
 Take your pick.

00:08:11.379 --> 00:08:14.560
 Which one of these best suits you

00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.379
 and your personality and your preference?

00:08:18.500 --> 00:08:19.980
 Unfortunately, these preferences

00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:23.600
 are primarily, almost always,

00:08:24.340 --> 00:08:26.160
 predicated on opinion.

00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:29.600
 It's very rare that you have these conversations with people,

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.860
 and they ever go to the scriptures at all.

00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:34.179
 So I asked the question last week,

00:08:34.179 --> 00:08:36.139
 who gets the final say?

00:08:36.259 --> 00:08:38.199
 Who gets to determine how it is

00:08:38.199 --> 00:08:39.579
 that we worship together?

00:08:39.699 --> 00:08:40.219
 Is it us?

00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:42.139
 Certainly not.

00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:43.839
 It's God.

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.039
 The scriptures give us a lot of latitude about style.

00:08:47.259 --> 00:08:49.879
 It's not that there is a particular style,

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.099
 a particular inspired liturgy that we must follow.

00:08:53.100 --> 00:08:55.480
 But there are some particular,

00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:57.139
 there are some things to do

00:08:57.139 --> 00:08:58.940
 that are proper.

00:09:00.920 --> 00:09:03.580
 It scares me that it's possible

00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:07.139
 for us to worship the right God wrongly.

00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.340
 That it's possible for us to even believe

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:14.460
 by what we're talking about this morning

00:09:14.460 --> 00:09:15.980
 that we're doing it properly

00:09:15.980 --> 00:09:17.580
 and be doing it wrongly.

00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:19.600
 Matthew 15, 8 and 9,

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:20.600
 Jesus said,

00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:22.360
 This people honors me with their lips,

00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:24.440
 but their heart is far from me.

00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:26.820
 In vain do they worship me.

00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:30.879
 This is valuable for us.

00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:33.980
 We pulled three points out last week.

00:09:34.060 --> 00:09:35.340
 I'm going to repeat them for you,

00:09:35.420 --> 00:09:36.300
 and we're going to move on

00:09:36.300 --> 00:09:37.960
 and finish verse 22 this morning

00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.879
 with the following three.

00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:41.379
 So six points total

00:09:41.379 --> 00:09:42.600
 if you're taking notes this morning.

00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:44.759
 Point number one,

00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:45.759
 Christian worship is

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.960
 corporate in emphasis.

00:09:48.580 --> 00:09:50.960
 Let us draw near.

00:09:51.539 --> 00:09:53.519
 Our hearts, our bodies.

00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:55.679
 You can see this plural form

00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.259
 running through the entire text.

00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.460
 It's corporate in emphasis

00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:00.980
 because God's character

00:10:00.980 --> 00:10:04.519
 culminates in the work of Christ.

00:10:04.819 --> 00:10:05.679
 I said this morning,

00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:08.799
 You are the greatest thing

00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:09.819
 that God has done.

00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:12.519
 It's crazy, isn't it?

00:10:13.059 --> 00:10:14.519
 We are a mess, aren't we?

00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.139
 The action that's going on

00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:18.639
 in your Christian life,

00:10:19.340 --> 00:10:21.259
 the culmination of God's work,

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:22.579
 what is being accomplished in you

00:10:22.579 --> 00:10:23.639
 because of Christ,

00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:25.579
 it's incredible.

00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:26.860
 The church,

00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:28.679
 in all its disaster,

00:10:29.340 --> 00:10:32.919
 is a great view of God's glory.

00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:34.179
 So Christian worship

00:10:34.179 --> 00:10:35.980
 is corporate in emphasis.

00:10:37.100 --> 00:10:38.679
 Any expression of Christianity

00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:40.199
 devoid of the church

00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:41.840
 is totally foreign

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.940
 to the pages of Scripture.

00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:45.040
 You remember last week

00:10:45.040 --> 00:10:47.020
 the analogies were given,

00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:49.180
 the metaphors

00:10:49.180 --> 00:10:50.700
 that were a body made of parts,

00:10:50.780 --> 00:10:51.460
 a household

00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:53.100
 of family members,

00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:54.080
 a temple

00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.420
 built of living stones.

00:10:58.020 --> 00:10:58.920
 We're not meant

00:10:58.920 --> 00:11:01.520
 to exist apart from each other,

00:11:01.580 --> 00:11:02.240
 but to coexist

00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.660
 as a community

00:11:03.660 --> 00:11:04.560
 of Christians.

00:11:06.060 --> 00:11:06.900
 Psalm 22,

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:07.500
 the psalmist writes,

00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:08.820
 I will tell of your name

00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:09.620
 to my brothers

00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:10.820
 in the midst

00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:11.919
 of the congregation.

00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:13.679
 I will praise you.

00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:15.240
 The second point

00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:16.299
 was Christian worship is

00:11:16.299 --> 00:11:18.159
 frequent in occurrence.

00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:19.779
 That term,

00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:20.940
 that original Greek term

00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:22.460
 was present and active,

00:11:22.580 --> 00:11:23.379
 both that we should

00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:24.700
 be drawing near to God

00:11:24.700 --> 00:11:25.620
 both now

00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:26.600
 and continually.

00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:27.960
 Forever.

00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:30.100
 Enjoy Him forever.

00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:31.879
 The New Testament

00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:32.879
 does not command

00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:34.180
 a particular frequency.

00:11:35.740 --> 00:11:36.580
 I think asking

00:11:36.580 --> 00:11:37.300
 how often

00:11:37.300 --> 00:11:38.240
 should we meet together

00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:39.420
 is really the wrong question.

00:11:40.779 --> 00:11:41.639
 I think we ought to

00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:42.440
 want to meet together

00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:43.840
 all the time.

00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.100
 Christian worship is,

00:11:46.259 --> 00:11:46.820
 number three,

00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:49.180
 thoroughly preoccupied

00:11:49.180 --> 00:11:49.159
!

00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:50.560
 with God.

00:11:52.019 --> 00:11:53.360
 Thoroughly preoccupied

00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:53.340
!

00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:54.639
 with God.

00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:56.240
 It's His approval

00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:57.000
 that we seek.

00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:58.660
 His applause.

00:11:58.659 --> 00:12:00.179
 Our worship services

00:12:00.179 --> 00:12:01.959
 are for Him.

00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:05.219
 Brothers,

00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:06.339
 we need to be careful

00:12:06.339 --> 00:12:07.679
 that we don't become

00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:09.059
 worshipers of ourselves

00:12:09.059 --> 00:12:11.059
 when we come into this place

00:12:11.059 --> 00:12:12.740
 looking to meet

00:12:12.740 --> 00:12:14.039
 our needs.

00:12:14.899 --> 00:12:16.579
 We're here to worship God.

00:12:17.199 --> 00:12:18.059
 We're the beneficiaries

00:12:18.059 --> 00:12:19.459
 of what happens

00:12:19.459 --> 00:12:20.120
 as a result.

00:12:21.059 --> 00:12:22.439
 So when you leave here

00:12:22.439 --> 00:12:23.120
 this morning,

00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:24.659
 you ought not to ask,

00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:25.659
 what did I get out

00:12:25.659 --> 00:12:26.139
 of this morning?

00:12:26.139 --> 00:12:28.379
 But was God pleased

00:12:28.379 --> 00:12:29.299
 with my participation?

00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:32.639
 So number one,

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:33.279
 corporate an emphasis.

00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:33.779
 Two,

00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:34.539
 frequent an occurrence.

00:12:34.819 --> 00:12:35.019
 Three,

00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:36.439
 thoroughly preoccupied

00:12:36.439 --> 00:12:36.980
 with God.

00:12:37.539 --> 00:12:38.179
 This brings us

00:12:38.179 --> 00:12:39.259
 to our new point.

00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:40.659
 Number four,

00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:41.399
 Christian worship

00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:43.500
 includes all

00:12:43.500 --> 00:12:44.480
 of our being.

00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:46.379
 Includes all

00:12:46.379 --> 00:12:47.439
 of our being.

00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:49.740
 We get this from

00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:50.399
 this little phrase

00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.460
 with a true heart.

00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:54.879
 Let us draw near

00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:57.000
 with a true heart.

00:12:57.940 --> 00:12:58.379
 Christianity

00:12:58.379 --> 00:13:00.280
 is a religion

00:13:00.280 --> 00:13:00.840
 of the heart.

00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:02.259
 And you ask,

00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:02.940
 well,

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:04.100
 then what is the heart?

00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:04.879
 Are we talking about

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:06.100
 the muscle that pumps

00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:07.519
 blood throughout my body?

00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:08.560
 Absolutely not.

00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:09.820
 That's not what Scripture

00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:10.780
 means when it refers

00:13:10.780 --> 00:13:11.759
 to the heart.

00:13:11.940 --> 00:13:12.660
 The heart is the

00:13:12.660 --> 00:13:14.100
 center of who we are,

00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:15.340
 the place where

00:13:15.340 --> 00:13:16.360
 our personality

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:17.580
 and emotions lie.

00:13:18.940 --> 00:13:19.420
 Essentially,

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:20.700
 the whole

00:13:20.700 --> 00:13:22.379
 of our interior life.

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:25.340
 God is not

00:13:25.340 --> 00:13:26.820
 primarily concerned

00:13:26.820 --> 00:13:28.160
 with our outward actions.

00:13:28.280 --> 00:13:28.940
 Do they matter?

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.120
 Are some of them

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:30.580
 prescribed?

00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:31.520
 Yes.

00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:32.400
 But He's not

00:13:32.400 --> 00:13:33.640
 primarily concerned

00:13:33.640 --> 00:13:35.640
 with our outward actions.

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:36.840
 As we've said,

00:13:36.900 --> 00:13:37.820
 you can do all

00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:39.160
 the right things

00:13:39.160 --> 00:13:40.400
 wrongly.

00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:43.000
 He's primarily

00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:43.600
 concerned

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:44.379
 with

00:13:44.379 --> 00:13:45.960
 our hearts.

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:48.520
 We all tend to know,

00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:49.560
 we're all kind of

00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:51.259
 Christianized

00:13:51.259 --> 00:13:52.099
 in this culture.

00:13:52.619 --> 00:13:52.819
 Don't we?

00:13:53.659 --> 00:13:54.759
 A lot of Christianity

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.119
 around us.

00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:57.079
 And you kind of

00:13:57.079 --> 00:13:58.059
 know the scene.

00:13:58.379 --> 00:13:59.159
 How many friends

00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:00.119
 do you even have

00:14:00.119 --> 00:14:01.379
 that went through

00:14:01.379 --> 00:14:02.479
 all the motions

00:14:02.479 --> 00:14:04.799
 before they actually

00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:05.799
 were Christians?

00:14:06.619 --> 00:14:07.519
 Before they actually

00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.139
 had regenerate hearts?

00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:10.159
 They went through

00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:11.519
 all the actions.

00:14:11.939 --> 00:14:12.899
 We know exactly

00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:13.500
 what we're supposed

00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:13.779
 to do.

00:14:13.839 --> 00:14:15.119
 We follow every cue

00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.060
 to a T.

00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:18.980
 When the crescendo

00:14:18.980 --> 00:14:19.919
 comes in the song,

00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:20.560
 right,

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:21.759
 what happens?

00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:25.419
 Close your eyes.

00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:26.139
 Raise your hands.

00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:26.899
 It's the right moment

00:14:26.899 --> 00:14:28.259
 to do that type of thing.

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:29.279
 If it's not,

00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:30.600
 you always sing

00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:31.240
 standing up.

00:14:32.340 --> 00:14:33.159
 We always sit

00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:34.139
 for preaching.

00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:35.480
 We know when.

00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:35.799
 We know.

00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:36.720
 And it feels awkward

00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:37.659
 if nobody tells you

00:14:37.659 --> 00:14:38.139
 what to do.

00:14:38.299 --> 00:14:38.620
 You're like,

00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:39.560
 I'm not sure.

00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:40.180
 I think we're supposed

00:14:40.180 --> 00:14:40.919
 to stand right now,

00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:41.799
 but I'm not really sure.

00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:42.740
 I can't even listen

00:14:42.740 --> 00:14:43.519
 to the first verse

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:44.500
 of this song

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.779
 because I'm just not sure

00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:46.399
 if I should stand up

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:46.879
 or sit down.

00:14:47.459 --> 00:14:48.699
 It's very frustrating to me.

00:14:50.059 --> 00:14:51.879
 We can do the right things

00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:53.779
 with the wrong heart.

00:14:56.079 --> 00:14:57.419
 It frightens me a lot.

00:14:58.240 --> 00:14:58.639
 A lot.

00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:00.359
 Turn to Isaiah chapter 1.

00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:04.879
 See what God has to say

00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:05.399
 about this.

00:15:07.899 --> 00:15:08.919
 Isaiah chapter 1.

00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:11.199
 We'll read 11 through 16

00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:11.920
 to you.

00:15:18.280 --> 00:15:19.520
 It's God speaking.

00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:20.520
 What to me

00:15:20.520 --> 00:15:21.540
 is the multitude

00:15:21.540 --> 00:15:22.900
 of your sacrifices,

00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:24.060
 says the Lord.

00:15:24.520 --> 00:15:25.680
 I have had enough

00:15:25.680 --> 00:15:26.520
 of burnt offerings,

00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:27.400
 of rams,

00:15:27.560 --> 00:15:27.980
 and the fat

00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:28.840
 of well-fed beef.

00:15:29.160 --> 00:15:30.280
 I do not delight

00:15:30.280 --> 00:15:31.420
 in the blood of bulls

00:15:31.420 --> 00:15:32.200
 or of lambs

00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:32.900
 or of goats.

00:15:33.780 --> 00:15:34.379
 Let's pause here.

00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:36.300
 These were prescribed things.

00:15:36.400 --> 00:15:37.100
 These were things

00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:38.259
 that God had asked

00:15:38.259 --> 00:15:39.480
 Israel to do.

00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:42.460
 But he's saying,

00:15:42.540 --> 00:15:43.080
 I'm sick of them.

00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.800
 I have grown weary

00:15:44.800 --> 00:15:46.100
 of these things.

00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:47.080
 Verse 12.

00:15:47.520 --> 00:15:48.320
 When you come to appear

00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:48.860
 before me,

00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:50.260
 who has required of you

00:15:50.260 --> 00:15:52.400
 this trampling of my courts?

00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:55.020
 Bring no more vain offerings.

00:15:55.560 --> 00:15:57.440
 Incense is an abomination to me.

00:15:57.780 --> 00:15:58.980
 New moon and Sabbath

00:15:58.980 --> 00:16:00.440
 and the calling of convocations.

00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.320
 I cannot endure iniquity

00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:03.520
 and solemn assembly.

00:16:04.760 --> 00:16:05.500
 Your new moons

00:16:05.500 --> 00:16:06.540
 and your appointed feasts

00:16:06.540 --> 00:16:08.360
 my soul hates.

00:16:08.880 --> 00:16:09.440
 They have become

00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:10.400
 a burden to me.

00:16:10.680 --> 00:16:11.440
 I am weary

00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:12.220
 of bearing them.

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.560
 When you spread out

00:16:13.560 --> 00:16:14.040
 your hands,

00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:15.100
 I will hide my eyes

00:16:15.100 --> 00:16:15.460
 from you.

00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:16.680
 Even though you make

00:16:16.680 --> 00:16:17.420
 many prayers,

00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:18.900
 I will not listen.

00:16:19.540 --> 00:16:20.240
 Your hands

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:21.660
 are full of blood.

00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:23.320
 Wash yourselves.

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:25.200
 Make yourselves clean.

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:26.700
 Let's stop there.

00:16:26.700 --> 00:16:29.600
 Christianity is a religion

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:30.400
 of the heart.

00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:32.120
 These are all things

00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:33.879
 that have an ass

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:35.040
 of Israel to do.

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:37.100
 And God says,

00:16:37.160 --> 00:16:37.680
 they have become

00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:39.560
 a burden to me.

00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:42.720
 Is our worship together

00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.000
 a burden to God?

00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:46.800
 I hope not.

00:16:47.180 --> 00:16:47.860
 I hope not.

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.460
 Recall Simon the magician

00:16:50.460 --> 00:16:51.540
 in Acts chapter 8

00:16:51.540 --> 00:16:52.800
 went to Peter

00:16:52.800 --> 00:16:53.620
 and tried to purchase

00:16:53.620 --> 00:16:54.379
 the Holy Spirit

00:16:54.379 --> 00:16:55.440
 from him.

00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:56.740
 He already was a bit

00:16:56.740 --> 00:16:57.500
 of a miracle worker

00:16:57.500 --> 00:16:58.020
 himself.

00:16:58.900 --> 00:16:59.900
 And he saw this

00:16:59.900 --> 00:17:01.300
 spirit and dwelling

00:17:01.300 --> 00:17:01.820
 of Christians

00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:02.680
 and they were

00:17:02.680 --> 00:17:03.460
 healing people

00:17:03.460 --> 00:17:03.960
 and he said,

00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:04.960
 ah, it's a better power

00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:05.640
 than I have now.

00:17:05.700 --> 00:17:06.299
 I'd like it.

00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:07.900
 And he tried to purchase it

00:17:07.900 --> 00:17:08.640
 and Peter's response

00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:09.240
 to him was,

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:10.720
 you have neither part

00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.100
 nor lot in this matter

00:17:12.100 --> 00:17:13.340
 for your heart

00:17:13.340 --> 00:17:14.059
 is not right

00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:15.180
 before God.

00:17:16.460 --> 00:17:17.400
 So I'll say to you again,

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:17.980
 Christianity

00:17:17.980 --> 00:17:19.299
 is a religion

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:19.980
 of the heart.

00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:22.559
 John Chrysostom said,

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:23.940
 find the door

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.640
 to your heart

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.940
 and you will discover

00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:26.759
 it is the door

00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.520
 to the kingdom of God.

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:31.420
 In Deuteronomy 4.29

00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:32.780
 God says,

00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:34.020
 from there you will

00:17:34.020 --> 00:17:35.020
 seek the Lord your God

00:17:35.020 --> 00:17:36.120
 and you will find him

00:17:36.120 --> 00:17:38.160
 if you search after him

00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:39.640
 with all your heart.

00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:44.140
 It's not all about

00:17:44.140 --> 00:17:45.780
 the outward appearance.

00:17:46.420 --> 00:17:47.780
 Those things matter.

00:17:47.779 --> 00:17:49.799
 But I'm just afraid

00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.039
 that we lose sight

00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:53.819
 of what really matters.

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.019
 It comes about

00:17:55.019 --> 00:17:56.899
 the outward appearance

00:17:56.899 --> 00:17:58.039
 and not about

00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:59.839
 our hearts.

00:18:01.019 --> 00:18:02.019
 Many Christians

00:18:02.019 --> 00:18:03.819
 put on airs

00:18:03.819 --> 00:18:05.079
 on Sunday morning.

00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:06.879
 I'm thankful

00:18:06.879 --> 00:18:07.680
 that we're not a church

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:08.859
 where I feel

00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:10.480
 pressured to wear a suit

00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:11.079
 to preach in.

00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:12.980
 I know I look pitiful

00:18:12.980 --> 00:18:14.160
 this morning.

00:18:16.099 --> 00:18:17.440
 That outward appearance

00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:18.900
 is so important

00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:20.759
 to so many of us.

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:23.039
 What did Jesus call

00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:24.200
 the Pharisees

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:25.279
 as they acted like that?

00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.839
 Whitewashed tombs.

00:18:28.380 --> 00:18:29.079
 Isn't that language?

00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:30.180
 That strong language?

00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:31.200
 You were like

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:33.160
 whitewashed tombs

00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:34.039
 is what he said to them.

00:18:34.360 --> 00:18:35.140
 Somebody has

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:36.339
 on the outside

00:18:36.339 --> 00:18:37.200
 made you look

00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:37.860
 very nice.

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:38.519
 They have come along

00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:39.319
 and painted you up

00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:40.259
 clean and white.

00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:42.240
 Tomb carved into the rock.

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.620
 But inside

00:18:43.620 --> 00:18:44.759
 you were full

00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:46.279
 of dead people's bones.

00:18:48.019 --> 00:18:48.880
 What's on the outside

00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:49.579
 is nothing

00:18:49.579 --> 00:18:51.200
 like what's on the inside.

00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:53.180
 Christianity

00:18:53.180 --> 00:18:54.099
 is a religion

00:18:54.099 --> 00:18:55.920
 of the heart.

00:18:57.059 --> 00:18:57.980
 The Psalms are

00:18:57.980 --> 00:18:59.099
 filled

00:18:59.099 --> 00:18:59.960
 with language

00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:00.480
 of the heart.

00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:02.640
 Where the outworking

00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:03.339
 of a heart

00:19:03.339 --> 00:19:04.200
 worshipping God

00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:05.019
 rightly

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:06.579
 is joy.

00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:08.400
 I don't have time

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:08.819
 this morning

00:19:08.819 --> 00:19:09.480
 to take you on

00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:09.880
 a survey

00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:10.720
 through the Psalms.

00:19:11.140 --> 00:19:12.019
 But I would invite you

00:19:12.019 --> 00:19:12.700
 to read them

00:19:12.700 --> 00:19:14.259
 looking for those

00:19:14.259 --> 00:19:14.980
 types of things.

00:19:15.779 --> 00:19:17.379
 The outward working

00:19:17.379 --> 00:19:18.599
 of a heart

00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:19.579
 worshipping God

00:19:19.579 --> 00:19:20.240
 properly

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.299
 is joy.

00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:23.879
 Joy that expresses

00:19:23.879 --> 00:19:24.579
 itself

00:19:24.579 --> 00:19:26.460
 visibly.

00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.200
 We're Baptists.

00:19:31.879 --> 00:19:32.819
 We tend to express

00:19:32.819 --> 00:19:33.299
 ourselves

00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:34.139
 visibly

00:19:34.139 --> 00:19:34.980
 too often

00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:35.480
 in our

00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:37.160
 meetings together.

00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:38.139
 Do we?

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:39.520
 There's

00:19:39.520 --> 00:19:40.480
 dancing

00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.000
 in the Psalms.

00:19:43.600 --> 00:19:44.240
 There's

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:45.140
 standing

00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:45.600
 and lifting

00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:46.160
 of hands.

00:19:46.360 --> 00:19:46.880
 There's

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:47.560
 kneeling.

00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:48.759
 There's lying

00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:49.720
 prostrate

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:50.980
 on the ground.

00:19:51.100 --> 00:19:51.680
 There's actual

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:52.720
 physical

00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.880
 action

00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:54.680
 that comes

00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:55.420
 out of

00:19:55.420 --> 00:19:57.040
 proper hearts.

00:19:58.600 --> 00:19:58.940
 C.S. Lewis

00:19:58.940 --> 00:19:59.920
 said that in the Psalms

00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:00.800
 God is set

00:20:00.800 --> 00:20:01.680
 on display

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:02.740
 as the

00:20:02.740 --> 00:20:04.380
 all-satisfying

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:05.259
 object.

00:20:05.259 --> 00:20:07.220
 Psalm 1611

00:20:07.220 --> 00:20:07.980
 David wrote

00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:09.039
 In your presence

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:10.079
 there is fullness

00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:10.720
 of joy.

00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:12.220
 At your right hand

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:13.000
 are pleasures

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.579
 forevermore.

00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:16.039
 In Psalm 33

00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:16.500
 1

00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:17.059
 the psalmist

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:17.379
 says

00:20:17.379 --> 00:20:18.460
 Shout for joy

00:20:18.460 --> 00:20:19.619
 in the Lord

00:20:19.619 --> 00:20:20.859
 O you righteous.

00:20:21.539 --> 00:20:22.079
 Praise

00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:23.000
 befits

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:24.220
 the upright.

00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:26.140
 The upright

00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:27.000
 ought to praise

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:27.400
 God

00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:28.059
 is what he's saying.

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:29.660
 Those who are

00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:30.119
 righteous

00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:31.019
 because of

00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:31.439
 Christ

00:20:31.439 --> 00:20:33.319
 will praise

00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:34.159
 God's name

00:20:34.159 --> 00:20:36.759
 joyfully.

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:37.359
 Joy is an

00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:38.519
 expressive

00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:39.179
 thing.

00:20:39.939 --> 00:20:40.359
 Is it not?

00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:41.239
 Some of you people

00:20:41.239 --> 00:20:41.939
 look dead

00:20:41.939 --> 00:20:42.519
 when you sing

00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:42.879
 songs.

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:46.219
 It's expressive.

00:20:46.439 --> 00:20:47.099
 It's easy to look

00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:47.819
 at somebody and say

00:20:47.819 --> 00:20:49.039
 they have no joy

00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:49.799
 in their heart.

00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:50.739
 Isn't it?

00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:52.579
 People would say

00:20:52.579 --> 00:20:53.279
 that of us

00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:54.259
 when we're

00:20:54.259 --> 00:20:55.139
 praising our God.

00:20:55.139 --> 00:20:55.139


00:20:55.140 --> 00:21:00.860
 2 Samuel

00:21:00.860 --> 00:21:01.740
 chapter 6

00:21:01.740 --> 00:21:02.080
 I think

00:21:02.080 --> 00:21:02.820
 displays this

00:21:02.820 --> 00:21:03.820
 rather well.

00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:05.540
 If you recall

00:21:05.540 --> 00:21:05.960
 the story

00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:06.360
 David

00:21:06.360 --> 00:21:07.380
 is now

00:21:07.380 --> 00:21:07.980
 king

00:21:07.980 --> 00:21:08.860
 his issues

00:21:08.860 --> 00:21:09.460
 with Saul

00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:09.900
 have been

00:21:09.900 --> 00:21:10.780
 laid to rest

00:21:10.780 --> 00:21:11.300
 at this point

00:21:11.300 --> 00:21:12.120
 and he

00:21:12.120 --> 00:21:12.720
 decides to

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.080
 bring the

00:21:13.080 --> 00:21:13.460
 Ark of the

00:21:13.460 --> 00:21:13.740
 Covenant

00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:14.259
 back

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:15.259
 to Jerusalem.

00:21:16.360 --> 00:21:17.040
 It's been

00:21:17.040 --> 00:21:18.020
 living

00:21:18.020 --> 00:21:18.620
 the Ark

00:21:18.620 --> 00:21:18.940
 has

00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:19.180
 at the

00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:19.420
 house

00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:20.180
 of Abinadab

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:20.540
 and then

00:21:20.540 --> 00:21:21.180
 there's

00:21:21.180 --> 00:21:21.440
 this little

00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:22.020
 transport

00:21:22.020 --> 00:21:22.540
 that goes

00:21:22.540 --> 00:21:22.860
 on

00:21:22.860 --> 00:21:23.060
 if you

00:21:23.060 --> 00:21:23.460
 recall

00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:23.720
 and

00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:24.680
 there's

00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:24.880
 a little

00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:25.320
 stumble

00:21:25.320 --> 00:21:25.660
 as they're

00:21:25.660 --> 00:21:25.920
 carrying

00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:26.360
 the Ark

00:21:26.360 --> 00:21:27.080
 and one

00:21:27.080 --> 00:21:27.600
 of the

00:21:27.600 --> 00:21:28.039
 bears

00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:28.560
 of the Ark

00:21:28.560 --> 00:21:29.060
 reaches out

00:21:29.060 --> 00:21:29.400
 and touches

00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:30.000
 it to catch

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:30.340
 it and

00:21:30.340 --> 00:21:31.080
 God gets

00:21:31.080 --> 00:21:31.640
 upset at him

00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:32.620
 and kills

00:21:32.620 --> 00:21:33.500
 him and so

00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:33.960
 David says

00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:34.660
 maybe we

00:21:34.660 --> 00:21:35.000
 shouldn't bring

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:35.580
 that thing

00:21:35.580 --> 00:21:36.080
 home just

00:21:36.080 --> 00:21:36.460
 yet.

00:21:37.620 --> 00:21:37.840
 And so

00:21:37.840 --> 00:21:38.740
 it then

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:39.180
 lives at the

00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:39.640
 house of

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:40.500
 Obed-Adam

00:21:40.500 --> 00:21:41.539
 for three

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:42.100
 months and

00:21:42.100 --> 00:21:43.180
 God blesses

00:21:43.180 --> 00:21:44.120
 him richly

00:21:44.120 --> 00:21:44.580
 for housing

00:21:44.580 --> 00:21:44.960
 it there

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.759
 and so

00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:46.539
 David decides

00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:47.920
 okay let's

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:48.340
 bring it on

00:21:48.340 --> 00:21:48.799
 to Jerusalem

00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:49.180
 now.

00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:51.080
 In

00:21:51.080 --> 00:21:52.400
 verse 14

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:53.120
 says

00:21:53.120 --> 00:21:53.920
 and David

00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:54.620
 danced

00:21:54.619 --> 00:21:55.239
 before the

00:21:55.239 --> 00:21:55.519
 Lord

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:56.139
 with all

00:21:56.139 --> 00:21:56.719
 his might

00:21:56.719 --> 00:21:58.159
 danced

00:21:58.159 --> 00:21:58.559
 before the

00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:58.819
 Lord

00:21:58.819 --> 00:21:59.819
 with all

00:21:59.819 --> 00:22:00.399
 his might

00:22:00.399 --> 00:22:01.579
 and you

00:22:01.579 --> 00:22:02.139
 recall that

00:22:02.139 --> 00:22:02.679
 David was

00:22:02.679 --> 00:22:03.459
 married to

00:22:03.459 --> 00:22:04.299
 Michal

00:22:04.299 --> 00:22:04.859
 which was

00:22:04.859 --> 00:22:05.339
 Saul's

00:22:05.339 --> 00:22:05.839
 daughter

00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:06.939
 and she

00:22:06.939 --> 00:22:07.739
 saw him

00:22:07.739 --> 00:22:08.359
 from the

00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:08.659
 window

00:22:08.659 --> 00:22:09.500
 and the text

00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:10.000
 says that she

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.199
 despised him

00:22:11.199 --> 00:22:12.319
 with all her

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:12.719
 heart

00:22:12.719 --> 00:22:14.299
 because she

00:22:14.299 --> 00:22:14.799
 felt that he

00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:15.599
 was disgracing

00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:16.079
 himself

00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:17.879
 I didn't

00:22:17.879 --> 00:22:18.299
 mention that he

00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:19.459
 was pretty much

00:22:19.459 --> 00:22:19.979
 dancing in his

00:22:19.979 --> 00:22:20.239
 underwear

00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:22.960
 but danced

00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:23.339
 with all

00:22:23.339 --> 00:22:23.940
 his might

00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:25.220
 and she

00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:26.079
 confronts

00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:26.279
 him

00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:27.279
 and if

00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:27.440
 you'll

00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:27.759
 allow me

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:28.539
 a paraphrase

00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:30.259
 his response

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:30.620
 to her

00:22:30.620 --> 00:22:31.000
 is she

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:31.460
 says to

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:31.660
 him

00:22:31.660 --> 00:22:32.059
 you have

00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:33.079
 disgraced

00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:34.339
 your position

00:22:34.339 --> 00:22:35.440
 you were

00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:36.079
 the king

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:36.740
 of Israel

00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:37.319
 and you're

00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:38.019
 dancing in

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:38.579
 your underwear

00:22:38.579 --> 00:22:38.980
 in front of

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:39.359
 the ark

00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:40.440
 it's disgraceful

00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:41.640
 and his

00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:42.339
 response to

00:22:42.339 --> 00:22:42.640
 her

00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:43.720
 in my

00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:43.980
 own

00:22:43.980 --> 00:22:44.519
 paraphrase

00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:44.880
 form

00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:45.660
 is

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:46.740
 I was

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:46.960
 holding

00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:47.460
 back

00:22:47.460 --> 00:22:49.440
 you thought

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:49.780
 that was

00:22:49.780 --> 00:22:50.280
 disgraceful

00:22:50.280 --> 00:22:50.740
 I was

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:50.920
 holding

00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:51.300
 back

00:22:51.300 --> 00:22:52.720
 I will

00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:53.180
 become

00:22:53.180 --> 00:22:54.080
 even more

00:22:54.080 --> 00:22:54.540
 foolish

00:22:54.540 --> 00:22:55.440
 if it means

00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:55.780
 that my

00:22:55.780 --> 00:22:56.300
 God will

00:22:56.300 --> 00:22:57.000
 receive more

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.680
 glory

00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:00.280
 you ought to

00:23:00.280 --> 00:23:01.160
 be joyful

00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:02.500
 in this

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:02.820
 place

00:23:02.820 --> 00:23:04.040
 expressive

00:23:04.040 --> 00:23:05.060
 as a result

00:23:05.060 --> 00:23:05.780
 why

00:23:05.780 --> 00:23:07.840
 because our

00:23:07.840 --> 00:23:08.400
 God deserves

00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:08.620
 it

00:23:08.620 --> 00:23:11.040
 I don't

00:23:11.040 --> 00:23:11.540
 really care

00:23:11.540 --> 00:23:11.880
 how you

00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:12.500
 feel

00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:14.560
 you want to

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:15.079
 dance a little

00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:15.299
 bit

00:23:15.299 --> 00:23:15.579
 or raise

00:23:15.579 --> 00:23:15.960
 your hands

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:16.139
 and you

00:23:16.139 --> 00:23:16.480
 think that's

00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:17.000
 embarrassing

00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:17.879
 to you

00:23:17.879 --> 00:23:20.019
 what have you

00:23:20.019 --> 00:23:20.460
 become

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:21.619
 a worshipper

00:23:21.619 --> 00:23:21.960
 of you

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:23.299
 not a worshipper

00:23:23.299 --> 00:23:23.980
 of our

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:24.259
 God

00:23:24.259 --> 00:23:26.399
 do you

00:23:26.399 --> 00:23:27.279
 realize

00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:28.460
 what God

00:23:28.460 --> 00:23:28.799
 has done

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:29.419
 for us

00:23:29.419 --> 00:23:31.619
 we take

00:23:31.619 --> 00:23:32.200
 our sins

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:32.759
 so

00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:33.839
 lightly

00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:35.359
 most of

00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:35.579
 us

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:36.319
 probably

00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:37.200
 grew up

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:37.720
 as fairly

00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:38.539
 moral

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:39.039
 people

00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:39.740
 probably

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:40.419
 in Christian

00:23:40.419 --> 00:23:40.819
 homes

00:23:40.819 --> 00:23:41.740
 and haven't

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:42.419
 done anything

00:23:42.419 --> 00:23:43.319
 really

00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:44.639
 big

00:23:44.639 --> 00:23:45.559
 in our

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:45.779
 own

00:23:45.779 --> 00:23:46.200
 eyes

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.139
 big

00:23:47.139 --> 00:23:47.559
 sin

00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:47.899
 kind

00:23:47.899 --> 00:23:48.039
 of

00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:48.559
 things

00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:50.339
 any

00:23:50.339 --> 00:23:50.759
 sin

00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:51.819
 is a

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:52.139
 great

00:23:52.139 --> 00:23:52.500
 affront

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:53.039
 to God

00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:54.839
 anything

00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:55.480
 you have

00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:55.799
 done

00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:57.419
 you are

00:23:57.419 --> 00:23:57.619
 an

00:23:57.619 --> 00:23:58.279
 enemy

00:23:58.279 --> 00:23:59.099
 of God

00:23:59.099 --> 00:23:59.539
 before

00:23:59.539 --> 00:24:00.039
 Christ

00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:01.159
 set

00:24:01.159 --> 00:24:01.700
 entirely

00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:02.179
 against

00:24:02.179 --> 00:24:02.419
 him

00:24:02.419 --> 00:24:02.659
 your

00:24:02.659 --> 00:24:02.899
 sin

00:24:02.899 --> 00:24:03.059
 is

00:24:03.059 --> 00:24:03.339
 great

00:24:03.339 --> 00:24:03.539
 it

00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:03.720
 does

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:03.919
 not

00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:04.259
 matter

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:04.480
 what

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:04.659
 you

00:24:04.659 --> 00:24:04.939
 think

00:24:04.939 --> 00:24:05.099
 of

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:05.299
 it

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:06.619
 God

00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:06.839
 says

00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:07.000
 your

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:07.339
 sin

00:24:07.339 --> 00:24:07.919
 is

00:24:07.919 --> 00:24:08.279
 great

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:08.659
 and

00:24:08.659 --> 00:24:08.859
 as

00:24:08.859 --> 00:24:09.039
 such

00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:09.240
 we

00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:09.439
 have

00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:09.600
 a

00:24:09.600 --> 00:24:10.259
 great

00:24:10.259 --> 00:24:11.539
 savior

00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:13.160
 there's

00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:13.680
 joy

00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:14.559
 joy

00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:14.779
 in

00:24:14.779 --> 00:24:15.100
 that

00:24:15.100 --> 00:24:16.680
 David

00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:17.019
 danced

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:17.360
 for a

00:24:17.360 --> 00:24:17.620
 reason

00:24:17.620 --> 00:24:18.320
 he was

00:24:18.320 --> 00:24:18.799
 celebrating

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.360
 all

00:24:19.360 --> 00:24:20.320
 that God

00:24:20.320 --> 00:24:20.600
 had done

00:24:20.600 --> 00:24:21.039
 for him

00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:21.519
 and for

00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:21.820
 the people

00:24:21.820 --> 00:24:22.320
 of Israel

00:24:22.320 --> 00:24:26.360
 so

00:24:26.360 --> 00:24:26.700
 Christianity

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.279
 is a

00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:27.640
 religion

00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:27.940
 of the

00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:29.740
 the way

00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:30.059
 to the

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:30.440
 heart

00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:32.160
 is

00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:32.299
 through

00:24:32.299 --> 00:24:32.660
 the head

00:24:32.660 --> 00:24:34.480
 the way

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:34.740
 to the

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:35.120
 heart

00:24:35.120 --> 00:24:36.420
 is to

00:24:37.420 --> 00:24:38.960
 David

00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:39.180
 wrote

00:24:39.180 --> 00:24:39.680
 behold

00:24:52.860 --> 00:24:52.980
 it

00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:53.220
 simple

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:54.519
 said

00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:54.840
 God

 does

 neither

 intellectualism

00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:03.660
 there's

00:25:03.660 --> 00:25:03.779
 a

00:25:03.779 --> 00:25:04.380
 balance

 there

 proper

00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:05.660
 Christian

00:25:05.660 --> 00:25:06.000
 worship

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:06.779
 is a

00:25:06.779 --> 00:25:07.300
 marriage

00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:08.700
 of the

00:25:08.700 --> 00:25:08.940
 two

00:25:08.940 --> 00:25:11.039
 so as

00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:11.319
 I say

00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:11.659
 to you

00:25:11.659 --> 00:25:12.019
 our

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:13.059
 time

00:25:13.059 --> 00:25:13.480
 together

00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:13.879
 our

00:25:13.879 --> 00:25:14.899
 worship

00:25:14.899 --> 00:25:15.559
 together

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:15.960
 ought to

00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:16.099
 be

00:25:16.099 --> 00:25:16.720
 expressive

00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:17.039
 in

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:17.359
 joy

00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:18.759
 it ought

00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:18.919
 to be

00:25:18.919 --> 00:25:19.259
 expressive

00:25:19.259 --> 00:25:20.519
 for a

00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:20.779
 reason

00:25:20.779 --> 00:25:22.240
 not just

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:22.659
 because

00:25:22.659 --> 00:25:23.059
 we're

00:25:23.059 --> 00:25:23.879
 crazy

00:25:23.879 --> 00:25:24.159
 and we

00:25:24.159 --> 00:25:24.339
 have

00:25:24.339 --> 00:25:24.500
 an

00:25:24.500 --> 00:25:25.480
 experience

00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:27.259
 but as

00:25:27.259 --> 00:25:27.419
 it's

00:25:27.419 --> 00:25:27.779
 rooted

00:25:27.779 --> 00:25:28.879
 in

00:25:28.879 --> 00:25:29.319
 truth

00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:31.379
 the

00:25:31.379 --> 00:25:31.899
 value

00:25:31.899 --> 00:25:32.220
 of our

00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:32.740
 worship

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:33.579
 can be

00:25:33.579 --> 00:25:34.019
 filtered

00:25:34.019 --> 00:25:35.039
 by the

00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:35.279
 truth

00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:35.480
 that

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:35.839
 supports

00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:36.059
 it

00:25:36.059 --> 00:25:37.179
 we're

00:25:37.179 --> 00:25:37.279
 going to

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:37.639
 talk about

00:25:37.639 --> 00:25:37.819
 this

00:25:37.819 --> 00:25:38.119
 more

00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:38.940
 next

00:25:38.940 --> 00:25:39.319
 week

00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:40.119
 the

00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:40.559
 value

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:40.859
 of our

00:25:40.859 --> 00:25:41.119
 Christian

00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:41.440
 worship

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:42.419
 the

00:25:42.419 --> 00:25:42.899
 legitimacy

00:25:42.899 --> 00:25:43.480
 of it

00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:45.339
 can be

00:25:45.339 --> 00:25:45.700
 measured

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:46.059
 by the

00:25:46.059 --> 00:25:46.519
 truth

00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:47.299
 that

00:25:47.299 --> 00:25:48.639
 spawns

00:25:48.639 --> 00:25:48.759
 it

00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:49.079
 that

00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:50.059
 creates

00:25:50.059 --> 00:25:50.379
 it

00:25:50.379 --> 00:25:52.299
 that's

00:25:52.299 --> 00:25:52.559
 why we

00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:52.899
 preached

00:25:52.899 --> 00:25:53.079
 you

00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:53.799
 expositionally

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.099
 that is

00:25:54.099 --> 00:25:54.720
 why it's

00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:55.379
 my great

00:25:55.379 --> 00:25:55.859
 burden

00:25:55.859 --> 00:25:56.940
 to just

00:25:56.940 --> 00:25:57.359
 teach you

00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:57.639
 what the

00:25:57.639 --> 00:25:57.899
 text

00:25:57.899 --> 00:25:58.319
 says

00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:59.740
 I believe

00:25:59.740 --> 00:26:00.019
 that's

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:00.379
 enough

00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:01.960
 I'm

00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:02.520
 fairly

00:26:02.520 --> 00:26:02.900
 young

00:26:02.900 --> 00:26:03.160
 I don't

00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:03.680
 have

00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:04.260
 lots

00:26:04.260 --> 00:26:04.400
 of

00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:04.600
 life

00:26:04.600 --> 00:26:05.020
 experience

00:26:05.020 --> 00:26:05.400
 to share

00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:05.680
 with you

00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:06.140
 anyway

00:26:06.140 --> 00:26:07.280
 but even

00:26:07.280 --> 00:26:07.620
 if I

00:26:07.620 --> 00:26:07.880
 did

00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:08.440
 I don't

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:08.660
 really

00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:09.040
 think

00:26:09.040 --> 00:26:09.740
 you need

00:26:09.740 --> 00:26:10.560
 to know

00:26:10.560 --> 00:26:10.860
 about

00:26:10.860 --> 00:26:12.000
 my

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:12.560
 steps

00:26:12.560 --> 00:26:12.820
 to

00:26:12.820 --> 00:26:13.420
 success

00:26:13.420 --> 00:26:16.380
 I don't

00:26:16.380 --> 00:26:16.620
 think

00:26:16.620 --> 00:26:17.520
 how I

00:26:17.520 --> 00:26:18.000
 arrange

00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:18.200
 my

00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:18.720
 finances

00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:19.180
 are all

00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:19.360
 that

00:26:19.360 --> 00:26:19.700
 important

00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:20.140
 to you

00:26:20.140 --> 00:26:21.000
 as a

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.280
 people

00:26:21.280 --> 00:26:22.740
 the

00:26:22.740 --> 00:26:22.960
 three

00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:23.380
 steps

00:26:23.380 --> 00:26:23.580
 to

00:26:23.580 --> 00:26:24.060
 having

00:26:24.060 --> 00:26:24.220
 a

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:24.540
 healthier

00:26:24.540 --> 00:26:25.140
 marriage

00:26:25.140 --> 00:26:26.000
 of my

00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:26.400
 life

00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:28.980
 but what

00:26:28.980 --> 00:26:29.580
 the Bible

00:26:29.580 --> 00:26:30.080
 says on

00:26:30.080 --> 00:26:30.240
 those

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:30.560
 topics

00:26:30.560 --> 00:26:30.780
 is

00:26:30.780 --> 00:26:31.180
 incredibly

00:26:31.180 --> 00:26:31.620
 important

00:26:31.620 --> 00:26:32.200
 to you

00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:33.280
 what

00:26:33.280 --> 00:26:33.700
 God

00:26:33.700 --> 00:26:33.900
 has

00:26:33.900 --> 00:26:34.700
 already

00:26:34.700 --> 00:26:35.200
 pinned

00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:35.920
 for us

00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:37.360
 is what

00:26:37.360 --> 00:26:37.700
 matters

00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:38.160
 most

00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:39.000
 and anything

00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:39.660
 I say

00:26:39.660 --> 00:26:40.340
 that's not

00:26:40.340 --> 00:26:40.800
 just an

00:26:40.800 --> 00:26:41.300
 explanation

00:26:41.300 --> 00:26:41.940
 just a

00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:42.740
 clearer

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:43.120
 view

00:26:43.120 --> 00:26:43.500
 of what

00:26:43.500 --> 00:26:44.320
 these

00:26:44.320 --> 00:26:45.160
 words

00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:45.360
 are

00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:45.620
 teaching

00:26:45.620 --> 00:26:45.940
 us

00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:46.500
 is

00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:46.780
 totally

00:26:46.780 --> 00:26:47.300
 erroneous

00:26:47.300 --> 00:26:47.600
 you gotta

00:26:47.600 --> 00:26:48.120
 just dismiss

00:26:48.120 --> 00:26:48.320
 it

00:26:48.320 --> 00:26:48.780
 and forget

00:26:48.780 --> 00:26:49.120
 about it

00:26:49.120 --> 00:26:49.540
 altogether

00:26:49.540 --> 00:26:52.780
 John

00:26:52.780 --> 00:26:53.400
 chapter 4

00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:53.740
 Jesus

00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:54.160
 says that

00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:54.380
 God

00:26:54.380 --> 00:26:54.820
 is seeking

00:26:54.819 --> 00:26:55.279
 those

00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:55.519
 who

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:55.700
 will

00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:55.980
 worship

00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:56.379
 him

00:26:56.379 --> 00:26:57.019
 in

00:26:57.019 --> 00:26:57.500
 spirit

00:26:57.500 --> 00:26:58.460
 and

00:26:58.460 --> 00:26:59.099
 in

00:26:59.099 --> 00:26:59.379
 truth

00:26:59.379 --> 00:26:59.759
 spirit

00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:00.139
 being

00:27:00.139 --> 00:27:00.879
 our

00:27:00.879 --> 00:27:01.379
 spirits

00:27:01.379 --> 00:27:01.879
 brought

00:27:01.879 --> 00:27:03.019
 into a

00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:03.159
 right

00:27:03.159 --> 00:27:03.700
 relationship

00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:04.740
 into life

00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:05.500
 by the

00:27:05.500 --> 00:27:06.079
 Holy Spirit

00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:07.000
 and in

00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:07.500
 truth

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:07.960
 which is

00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:08.519
 who

00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:09.539
 Jesus

00:27:09.539 --> 00:27:10.000
 Christ

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.439
 God's

00:27:10.439 --> 00:27:10.859
 expression

00:27:10.859 --> 00:27:11.419
 of himself

00:27:11.419 --> 00:27:12.099
 through the

00:27:12.099 --> 00:27:12.359
 work

00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:13.099
 of Jesus

00:27:13.099 --> 00:27:13.460
 Christ

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:13.759
 so we

00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:17.140
 times

00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:17.539
 when a

00:28:17.539 --> 00:28:17.799
 pot

00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:17.960
 was

 there's

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.160
 a chance

00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:24.599
 that it'll

00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:25.200
 crack

 in high

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:28.379
 school

00:28:28.379 --> 00:28:29.299
 and was

00:28:29.299 --> 00:28:30.039
 very

00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:30.480
 distraught

00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:30.660
 that i

00:28:30.660 --> 00:28:30.859
 had to

00:28:30.859 --> 00:28:31.099
 redo

00:28:31.099 --> 00:28:31.279
 some

00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:31.480
 of my

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:31.819
 projects

00:28:31.819 --> 00:28:32.279
 because

00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:33.180
 pots

00:28:33.180 --> 00:28:33.619
 cracked

00:28:33.619 --> 00:28:33.920
 well

00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:34.460
 in this

00:28:34.460 --> 00:28:34.940
 time

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:35.539
 in order

00:28:35.539 --> 00:28:36.140
 to continue

00:28:36.140 --> 00:28:36.500
 to use

00:28:36.500 --> 00:28:36.940
 these pots

00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:37.519
 they would

00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:37.920
 fill

00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:38.400
 those

00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:38.759
 cracks

00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:39.339
 with

00:28:39.339 --> 00:28:39.680
 wax

00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:41.119
 so

00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:41.339
 this

00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:41.879
 vessel

00:28:41.879 --> 00:28:42.099
 that was

00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:42.359
 created

00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:42.779
 for use

00:28:42.779 --> 00:28:42.980
 would

00:28:42.980 --> 00:28:43.160
 have

00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:43.559
 a flaw

00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:43.799
 in it

00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:44.000
 and they

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.139
 would

00:28:44.139 --> 00:28:44.720
 just

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:44.879
 fill

00:28:44.879 --> 00:28:45.059
 it up

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:45.200
 with

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.519
 wax

00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:45.680
 because

00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:45.759
 it

00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:45.879
 would

00:28:45.879 --> 00:28:46.079
 still

00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:46.480
 hold

00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:47.079
 liquid

00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:48.000
 that way

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.059
 if a

00:28:50.059 --> 00:28:50.240
 pot

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:50.559
 was a

00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:51.059
 perfect

00:28:51.059 --> 00:28:51.359
 pot

00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:51.639
 a pot

00:28:51.639 --> 00:28:51.779
 that

00:28:51.779 --> 00:28:52.039
 didn't

00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:52.259
 have

00:28:52.259 --> 00:28:52.400
 any

00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:52.680
 cracks

00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:52.920
 in it

00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:53.180
 it

00:28:53.180 --> 00:28:53.339
 was

00:28:53.339 --> 00:28:53.720
 stamped

00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:53.879
 on

00:28:53.879 --> 00:28:54.000
 the

00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:54.299
 bottom

00:28:54.299 --> 00:28:55.500
 sine

00:28:55.500 --> 00:28:55.859
 sera

00:28:55.859 --> 00:28:56.599
 which

00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:56.920
 meant

00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:57.440
 literally

00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:57.759
 the

00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:58.039
 terms

00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:58.279
 mean

00:28:58.279 --> 00:28:58.859
 without

00:28:58.859 --> 00:28:59.960
 wax

00:28:59.960 --> 00:29:01.960
 a

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:03.119
 perfect

00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:04.579
 object

00:29:04.579 --> 00:29:05.299
 a perfect

00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:06.139
 vessel

00:29:06.139 --> 00:29:06.379
 a

00:29:06.379 --> 00:29:07.099
 complete

00:29:07.099 --> 00:29:08.399
 heart

00:29:08.399 --> 00:29:09.439
 is what's

00:29:09.439 --> 00:29:09.819
 being said

00:29:09.819 --> 00:29:10.079
 here

00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:11.099
 all

00:29:11.099 --> 00:29:12.059
 of who

00:29:12.059 --> 00:29:12.539
 we are

00:29:12.539 --> 00:29:13.299
 sine

00:29:13.299 --> 00:29:13.659
 sera

00:29:13.659 --> 00:29:15.240
 to add

00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:15.559
 to that

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:15.799
 I

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:16.980
 got on a

00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:17.319
 site that

00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:17.859
 was debating

00:29:17.859 --> 00:29:18.419
 the origin

00:29:18.419 --> 00:29:18.740
 of the

00:29:18.740 --> 00:29:19.000
 term

00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:21.199
 I think

00:29:21.199 --> 00:29:21.399
 they were

00:29:21.399 --> 00:29:21.740
 wrong on

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:21.899
 both

00:29:21.899 --> 00:29:22.240
 accounts

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:22.500
 I think

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:22.719
 that the

00:29:22.719 --> 00:29:22.919
 pot

00:29:22.919 --> 00:29:23.099
 thing

00:29:23.099 --> 00:29:23.240
 is

00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:23.559
 perfectly

00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:23.859
 fine

00:29:23.859 --> 00:29:24.799
 but

00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:24.980
 they

00:29:24.980 --> 00:29:25.219
 also

00:29:25.219 --> 00:29:25.519
 said

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:25.779
 that

00:29:25.779 --> 00:29:27.079
 those

00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:27.279
 who

00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:27.719
 sculpted

00:29:27.719 --> 00:29:27.859
 in

00:29:27.859 --> 00:29:28.199
 marble

00:29:28.199 --> 00:29:28.899
 would

00:29:28.899 --> 00:29:29.139
 often

00:29:29.139 --> 00:29:29.519
 fill

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:29.859
 the

00:29:29.859 --> 00:29:30.299
 cracks

00:29:30.299 --> 00:29:30.719
 the

00:29:30.719 --> 00:29:31.119
 mistakes

00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:31.339
 they

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:31.459
 had

00:29:31.459 --> 00:29:31.759
 made

00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.439
 with

00:29:32.439 --> 00:29:32.819
 wax

00:29:32.819 --> 00:29:33.259
 and so

00:29:33.259 --> 00:29:33.799
 then

00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:34.000
 the

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:34.419
 marble

00:29:34.419 --> 00:29:34.799
 statue

00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:35.099
 as it

00:29:35.099 --> 00:29:35.159
 was

00:29:35.159 --> 00:29:35.359
 put

00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:35.919
 outside

00:29:35.919 --> 00:29:36.759
 would

00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:37.259
 have

00:29:37.259 --> 00:29:37.619
 flaws

00:29:37.619 --> 00:29:37.920
 as the

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:38.119
 hot

00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:38.420
 sun

00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:38.700
 began

00:29:38.700 --> 00:29:39.359
 to melt

00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:39.920
 the wax

00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:40.839
 out of

00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:41.079
 that

00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:41.680
 statue

00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:43.619
 and also

00:29:43.619 --> 00:29:43.819
 they

00:29:43.819 --> 00:29:44.460
 postulated

00:29:44.460 --> 00:29:45.099
 that

00:29:45.099 --> 00:29:45.680
 some

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:46.119
 brick

00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:47.460
 added to

00:29:47.460 --> 00:29:47.799
 the brick

00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:48.440
 was wax

00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:49.720
 what happens

00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:50.279
 to a brick

00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:50.960
 as the wax

00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:51.480
 melts on a

00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:51.759
 building

00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:52.559
 the building

00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:53.359
 loses some

00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:53.720
 of its

00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:54.759
 structure

00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:56.099
 so pick

00:29:56.099 --> 00:29:56.539
 whichever one

00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:56.839
 you like

00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:57.259
 I like the

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:57.519
 pot one

00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:57.859
 the best

00:29:57.859 --> 00:29:59.180
 that's the

00:29:59.180 --> 00:29:59.879
 origin of

00:29:59.879 --> 00:30:00.740
 that term

00:30:00.740 --> 00:30:02.140
 so a

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:02.920
 perfect

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:03.420
 heart

00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:03.819
 a

00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:04.500
 complete

00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:05.480
 heart

00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:07.240
 Psalm

00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:07.500
 9

00:30:07.500 --> 00:30:07.799
 1

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:08.240
 kind of

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:09.240
 marries

00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:09.480
 these

00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:09.839
 together

00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:10.299
 as we

00:30:10.299 --> 00:30:11.180
 conclude

00:30:11.180 --> 00:30:11.759
 point 4

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:13.620
 Psalmist

00:30:13.620 --> 00:30:13.779
 writes

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.039
 I will

00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:14.200
 give

00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:14.640
 thanks to

00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:14.740

00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:17.420

00:30:17.420 --> 00:30:17.920
 recount

00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:18.819
 all

00:30:18.819 --> 00:30:19.299

 combined

00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:24.640
 in one

00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:25.380

00:33:05.139 --> 00:33:05.299
 on

00:33:05.299 --> 00:33:05.500
 that

00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:05.599
 and

00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:05.679
 he

00:33:05.679 --> 00:33:05.839
 says

00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:06.000
 but

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.119
 in

00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:06.299
 these

00:33:06.299 --> 00:33:06.879
 sacrifices

00:33:06.879 --> 00:33:07.659
 there

00:33:07.659 --> 00:33:07.839
 is

00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:08.039
 a

00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:08.639
 reminder

00:33:08.639 --> 00:33:08.920
 of

00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:09.359
 sins

00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:09.799
 every

00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:10.200
 year

00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:11.059
 for

00:33:11.059 --> 00:33:11.159
 it

00:33:11.159 --> 00:33:11.240
 is

00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:11.740
 impossible

00:33:11.740 --> 00:33:11.980
 for

00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:12.099
 the

00:33:12.099 --> 00:33:12.259
 blood

00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:12.379
 of

00:33:12.379 --> 00:33:12.740
 bulls

00:33:12.740 --> 00:33:12.899
 and

00:33:12.899 --> 00:33:13.240
 goats

00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:13.819
 to

00:33:13.819 --> 00:33:14.059
 take

00:33:14.059 --> 00:33:14.339
 away

00:33:14.339 --> 00:33:14.839
 sins

00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:16.720
 so

00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:17.099
 the

00:33:17.099 --> 00:33:17.639
 sacrifice

00:33:17.639 --> 00:33:18.659
 actually

00:33:18.659 --> 00:33:18.980
 only

00:33:18.980 --> 00:33:19.420
 kept

00:33:19.420 --> 00:33:19.740
 them

00:33:19.740 --> 00:33:20.299
 mindful

00:33:20.299 --> 00:33:21.319
 of

00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:21.480
 their

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:21.779
 sin

00:33:21.779 --> 00:33:25.339
 now

00:33:25.339 --> 00:33:25.639
 we

00:33:25.639 --> 00:33:25.899
 get to

00:33:25.899 --> 00:33:26.079
 enter

00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:26.240
 with

00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:26.839
 boldness

00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:26.980
 and

00:33:26.980 --> 00:33:27.399
 why

00:33:27.399 --> 00:33:28.759
 because

00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:28.859
 of

00:33:28.859 --> 00:33:28.960
 the

00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:29.319
 blood

00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:30.180
 of

00:33:30.180 --> 00:33:30.619
 Christ

00:33:30.619 --> 00:33:31.559
 Hebrews

00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:31.859
 4

00:33:31.859 --> 00:33:32.299
 16

00:33:32.299 --> 00:33:32.879
 says

00:33:32.879 --> 00:33:33.200
 let us

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:33.359
 then

00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:33.559
 with

00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:34.319
 confidence

00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:35.119
 draw

00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:35.460
 near

00:33:35.460 --> 00:33:35.639
 to

00:33:35.639 --> 00:33:35.779
 the

00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:35.960
 throne

00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:36.119
 of

00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:36.379
 grace

00:33:36.379 --> 00:33:36.559
 that

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:36.659
 we

00:33:36.659 --> 00:33:36.819
 may

00:33:36.819 --> 00:33:37.180
 receive

00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:37.740
 mercy

00:33:37.740 --> 00:33:38.339
 and

00:33:38.339 --> 00:33:38.680
 find

00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:39.180
 grace

00:33:39.180 --> 00:33:39.539
 to

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:39.880
 help

00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:40.120
 in

00:33:40.120 --> 00:33:40.380
 time

00:33:40.380 --> 00:33:40.519
 of

00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:40.819
 need

00:33:40.819 --> 00:33:41.380
 what

00:33:41.380 --> 00:33:41.460
 do

00:33:41.460 --> 00:33:41.559
 we

00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:41.859
 get

00:33:41.859 --> 00:33:42.120
 when

00:33:42.120 --> 00:33:42.299
 we

00:33:42.299 --> 00:33:42.599
 draw

00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:43.000
 near

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.900
 what

00:33:43.900 --> 00:33:44.039
 is

00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:44.140
 it

00:33:44.140 --> 00:33:44.259
 that

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:44.380
 we're

00:33:44.380 --> 00:33:44.660
 going

00:33:44.660 --> 00:33:44.920
 in

00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:45.220
 for

00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:46.500
 mercy

00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:47.259
 and

00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:48.120
 grace

00:33:48.120 --> 00:33:48.599
 not

00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:49.980
 justice

00:33:49.980 --> 00:33:51.599
 but

00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:51.740
 they

00:33:51.740 --> 00:33:51.920
 think

00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:52.099
 God

00:33:52.099 --> 00:33:52.299
 is a

00:33:52.299 --> 00:33:52.480
 just

00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:52.740
 God

00:33:52.740 --> 00:33:52.880
 he

00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:53.279
 absolutely

00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:53.519
 is

00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:53.680
 what

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:53.819
 has

00:33:53.819 --> 00:33:54.120
 happened

00:33:54.120 --> 00:33:54.279
 to

00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:55.000
 God's

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:55.559
 justice

00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:56.700
 on

00:33:56.700 --> 00:33:56.880
 our

00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:57.319
 behalf

00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:58.680
 given

00:33:58.680 --> 00:33:58.839
 to

00:33:58.839 --> 00:33:59.279
 Christ

00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:02.019
 Jesus

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:02.460
 Christ

00:34:02.460 --> 00:34:02.859
 bore

00:34:02.859 --> 00:34:03.019
 the

00:34:03.019 --> 00:34:03.259
 wrath

00:34:03.259 --> 00:34:03.420
 of

00:34:03.420 --> 00:34:03.759
 God

00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:04.160
 for

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.599
 us

00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:05.799
 the

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:06.019
 due

00:34:06.019 --> 00:34:06.359
 penalty

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:06.579
 of

00:34:06.579 --> 00:34:06.879
 our

00:34:06.879 --> 00:34:07.299
 sin

00:34:07.299 --> 00:34:10.099
 in

00:34:10.099 --> 00:34:10.279
 verse

00:34:10.279 --> 00:34:10.719
 20

00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:11.719
 you'll

00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:12.079
 see that

00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:12.519
 we now

00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:13.019
 have a

00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:14.019
 new and

00:34:14.019 --> 00:34:14.699
 living way

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:15.380
 a confidence

00:34:15.380 --> 00:34:17.599
 to enter into the holy places

00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:19.039
 by the blood of Jesus

00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:19.900
 by the new

00:34:19.900 --> 00:34:21.259
 and living way

00:34:21.259 --> 00:34:22.679
 and this term new

00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:23.440
 is really

00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:24.279
 rich

00:34:24.279 --> 00:34:26.039
 not the typical

00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:27.099
 Greek term used

00:34:27.099 --> 00:34:27.659
 for new

00:34:27.659 --> 00:34:29.199
 throughout the New Testament

00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:31.079
 it's kind of an abnormal

00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:31.339
 one

00:34:31.339 --> 00:34:32.299
 kind of a rare

00:34:32.299 --> 00:34:33.579
 term

00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:34.119
 used

00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:36.759
 I'm not going to try to pronounce it

00:34:36.759 --> 00:34:37.079
 this morning

00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:38.739
 it's one of those mornings

00:34:38.739 --> 00:34:39.019
 right

00:34:39.019 --> 00:34:42.219
 the word means

00:34:42.219 --> 00:34:43.679
 freshly

00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:46.119
 as in

00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:47.119
 freshly

00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:48.419
 slaughtered

00:34:48.419 --> 00:34:49.960
 not the typical

00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:50.619
 simple

00:34:50.619 --> 00:34:51.480
 new

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:52.480
 but through a

00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:53.639
 freshly

00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:55.279
 slaughtered

00:34:55.279 --> 00:34:56.419
 and living

00:34:56.419 --> 00:34:57.339
 way

00:34:57.340 --> 00:35:00.140
 that sacrifice

00:35:00.140 --> 00:35:01.340
 has been made

00:35:01.340 --> 00:35:02.960
 once and for all

00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:04.420
 and it's still

00:35:04.420 --> 00:35:05.800
 that new

00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:06.780
 and living way

00:35:06.780 --> 00:35:08.800
 it's as if

00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:10.640
 that perfect sacrifice

00:35:10.640 --> 00:35:11.440
 has been made

00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:12.440
 right now

00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:13.220
 in this moment

00:35:13.220 --> 00:35:14.380
 and now I can confidently

00:35:14.380 --> 00:35:15.019
 enter in

00:35:15.019 --> 00:35:16.059
 to the presence of God

00:35:16.059 --> 00:35:16.980
 and approach him

00:35:16.980 --> 00:35:17.640
 for mercy

00:35:17.640 --> 00:35:18.360
 and grace

00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:18.900
 because

00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:20.820
 of this new

00:35:20.820 --> 00:35:21.519
 and living

00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:22.300
 way

00:35:22.300 --> 00:35:23.320
 this sacrifice

00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:24.019
 that has been made

00:35:24.019 --> 00:35:25.340
 on my behalf

00:35:25.340 --> 00:35:26.960
 that was a perfect sacrifice

00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:29.179
 isn't that rich

00:35:29.179 --> 00:35:32.039
 Saturday morning

00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:34.079
 I woke up to another mess

00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:35.000
 with the dog

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:35.579
 yes

00:35:35.579 --> 00:35:36.519
 you heard me right

00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:37.400
 another mess

00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:37.860
 with the dog

00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:39.880
 it was a bit more tragic

00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:41.579
 I'll spare you the details of it

00:35:41.579 --> 00:35:43.119
 but my very brave wife

00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:44.360
 ventured in

00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:45.619
 in her socks

00:35:45.619 --> 00:35:46.800
 and

00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:48.659
 and did quite a bit of cleaning

00:35:48.659 --> 00:35:50.820
 and after the fact

00:35:50.820 --> 00:35:51.900
 as her last

00:35:51.900 --> 00:35:53.220
 mode of escape

00:35:53.220 --> 00:35:53.539
 she

00:35:53.539 --> 00:35:54.880
 took off her socks

00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:55.679
 inside out

00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:56.659
 and tossed them

00:35:56.659 --> 00:35:57.259
 on the outside

00:35:57.259 --> 00:35:58.259
 of the laundry room door

00:35:58.259 --> 00:35:59.179
 where

00:35:59.179 --> 00:36:00.039
 my son

00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:00.759
 came and proceeded

00:36:00.759 --> 00:36:01.739
 to go and pick one up

00:36:01.739 --> 00:36:04.079
 and as a

00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:05.359
 father noticing this

00:36:05.359 --> 00:36:06.279
 I freaked

00:36:06.279 --> 00:36:08.659
 probably overreacted a bit

00:36:08.659 --> 00:36:09.460
 and yelled at him

00:36:09.460 --> 00:36:10.500
 did like

00:36:10.500 --> 00:36:10.759
 the game

00:36:10.759 --> 00:36:11.099
 no

00:36:11.099 --> 00:36:12.599
 and

00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:14.759
 he dropped the sock

00:36:14.759 --> 00:36:15.500
 and

00:36:15.500 --> 00:36:16.599
 stuck his little lip out

00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:17.759
 and began to tear up

00:36:17.759 --> 00:36:18.879
 and

00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:21.140
 all at once

00:36:21.140 --> 00:36:22.000
 in this

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:22.780
 little moment

00:36:22.780 --> 00:36:23.460
 I

00:36:23.460 --> 00:36:24.500
 as I'm

00:36:24.500 --> 00:36:25.760
 mulling over this text

00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:26.320
 in my head

00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:27.280
 I thought about

00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:28.059
 the wrath of God

00:36:28.059 --> 00:36:30.119
 he didn't really know

00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:30.599
 what he was doing

00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:31.079
 obviously

00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:31.460
 but

00:36:31.460 --> 00:36:32.559
 but if that were me

00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:34.079
 the sins

00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:34.780
 the things I've

00:36:34.780 --> 00:36:35.700
 committed against God

00:36:35.700 --> 00:36:36.480
 his wrath

00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:36.920
 I mean

00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:38.160
 it was an overreaction

00:36:38.160 --> 00:36:39.180
 and

00:36:39.180 --> 00:36:40.000
 poor little guy

00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:40.860
 ran away from me

00:36:40.860 --> 00:36:41.960
 but I squatted down

00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:42.940
 and I opened up my arms

00:36:42.940 --> 00:36:43.260
 and I said

00:36:43.260 --> 00:36:43.539
 Cain

00:36:43.539 --> 00:36:44.000
 come here

00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:45.380
 and it was so cute

00:36:45.380 --> 00:36:46.500
 he turned around

00:36:46.500 --> 00:36:47.559
 a little pouty

00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:48.300
 and held out his arms

00:36:48.300 --> 00:36:48.660
 like this

00:36:48.660 --> 00:36:49.220
 and ran

00:36:49.220 --> 00:36:51.000
 back to me

00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:52.200
 and

00:36:52.200 --> 00:36:52.920
 and just

00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:54.240
 in a culmination

00:36:54.240 --> 00:36:55.039
 of all those ideas

00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:55.720
 I thought

00:36:55.720 --> 00:36:56.380
 that's the kind of

00:36:56.380 --> 00:36:57.260
 confidence we have

00:36:57.260 --> 00:36:58.740
 isn't it

00:36:58.740 --> 00:36:59.760
 to cry to God

00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:00.440
 Abba Father

00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:00.900
 Daddy

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:02.680
 we can run

00:37:02.680 --> 00:37:04.200
 into his arms

00:37:04.200 --> 00:37:04.800
 in that way

00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:06.440
 kind of

00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:07.579
 a neat little thing

00:37:07.579 --> 00:37:08.440
 and it reminded me of

00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:10.360
 the story of the prodigal son

00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:11.440
 in Luke chapter 15

00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:13.840
 much in the same way

00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:14.720
 you see

00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:15.879
 this son

00:37:15.879 --> 00:37:16.299
 who has

00:37:16.299 --> 00:37:16.879
 who has

00:37:16.879 --> 00:37:18.079
 really said

00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:20.039
 for all intents and purposes

00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:20.759
 to his father

00:37:20.759 --> 00:37:22.319
 I want my inheritance now

00:37:22.319 --> 00:37:23.000
 which means

00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:24.159
 I wish you were dead

00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:26.919
 I would prefer

00:37:26.919 --> 00:37:27.639
 to go

00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:28.480
 squander

00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:29.959
 that inheritance

00:37:29.959 --> 00:37:31.000
 than you be alive

00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:32.259
 and he left

00:37:32.259 --> 00:37:33.139
 with his money

00:37:33.139 --> 00:37:35.839
 you don't see the father

00:37:35.839 --> 00:37:38.259
 closed off

00:37:38.259 --> 00:37:39.879
 inside

00:37:39.879 --> 00:37:41.799
 you see him

00:37:41.799 --> 00:37:42.459
 standing out

00:37:42.459 --> 00:37:42.980
 and looking

00:37:42.980 --> 00:37:43.759
 because we know

00:37:43.759 --> 00:37:44.619
 that he sees the son

00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:46.659
 coming from a long way off

00:37:46.659 --> 00:37:49.179
 he was attentive

00:37:49.179 --> 00:37:50.159
 he was waiting

00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:51.539
 for his return

00:37:51.539 --> 00:37:53.659
 and the son

00:37:53.659 --> 00:37:54.400
 didn't think

00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:55.319
 he had the right

00:37:55.319 --> 00:37:57.039
 to approach the father

00:37:57.039 --> 00:37:57.639
 but what do we see

00:37:57.639 --> 00:37:58.279
 the father do

00:37:58.279 --> 00:37:59.559
 he girds up

00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:00.219
 his loins

00:38:00.219 --> 00:38:01.319
 and he runs

00:38:01.319 --> 00:38:03.179
 to meet the son

00:38:03.179 --> 00:38:06.000
 that would have been

00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:07.519
 an atrociously

00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:08.460
 humiliating thing

00:38:08.460 --> 00:38:09.679
 for a man

00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:10.319
 of his stature

00:38:10.319 --> 00:38:10.779
 to do

00:38:10.780 --> 00:38:12.560
 men with money

00:38:12.560 --> 00:38:13.780
 did not run

00:38:13.780 --> 00:38:15.200
 men who could afford

00:38:15.200 --> 00:38:16.080
 golden rings

00:38:16.080 --> 00:38:17.040
 and fine robes

00:38:17.040 --> 00:38:17.860
 and fattened calves

00:38:17.860 --> 00:38:18.880
 did not run

00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:20.360
 people ran for them

00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:23.200
 but not this father

00:38:23.200 --> 00:38:24.580
 he pulls up

00:38:24.580 --> 00:38:25.440
 his robes

00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:26.900
 and he runs

00:38:26.900 --> 00:38:28.340
 to meet the son

00:38:28.340 --> 00:38:29.620
 and he invites him

00:38:29.620 --> 00:38:30.140
 back

00:38:30.140 --> 00:38:31.180
 into the home

00:38:31.180 --> 00:38:32.280
 that is such

00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:33.320
 a beautiful picture

00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:34.740
 of the confidence

00:38:34.740 --> 00:38:35.980
 with which we can

00:38:35.980 --> 00:38:36.640
 approach God

00:38:36.640 --> 00:38:38.200
 because of Christ

00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:39.699
 so beloved

00:38:39.699 --> 00:38:40.279
 we do not

00:38:40.279 --> 00:38:42.159
 come to our king

00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:43.519
 sheepishly

00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:45.119
 but we come to

00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:46.019
 worship him together

00:38:46.019 --> 00:38:47.299
 confidently

00:38:47.299 --> 00:38:48.239
 it doesn't matter

00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:49.819
 what you did this week

00:38:49.819 --> 00:38:52.199
 you are God's son

00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:53.739
 you come together

00:38:53.739 --> 00:38:54.460
 with this church

00:38:54.460 --> 00:38:55.059
 and confidently

00:38:55.059 --> 00:38:55.679
 worship him

00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:58.719
 number six

00:38:58.719 --> 00:38:59.679
 and closely tied

00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:01.480
 Christian worship

00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:01.960
 is

00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:04.319
 preceded by purification

00:39:04.319 --> 00:39:07.319
 the writer of Hebrews

00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:08.820
 means for us

00:39:08.820 --> 00:39:09.580
 to understand

00:39:09.580 --> 00:39:12.019
 that because of this

00:39:12.019 --> 00:39:13.120
 all the others

00:39:13.120 --> 00:39:13.660
 can be proper

00:39:13.660 --> 00:39:15.160
 it's preceded

00:39:15.160 --> 00:39:16.660
 by purification

00:39:16.660 --> 00:39:18.600
 look at the last part

00:39:18.600 --> 00:39:19.200
 of verse 22

00:39:19.200 --> 00:39:21.480
 let us draw near

00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:25.860
 with true heart

00:39:25.860 --> 00:39:26.580
 and full assurance

00:39:26.580 --> 00:39:26.940
 of faith

00:39:26.940 --> 00:39:27.960
 with our hearts

00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:28.800
 sprinkled clean

00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:30.220
 from the evil conscience

00:39:30.220 --> 00:39:31.700
 and our bodies

00:39:31.700 --> 00:39:32.160
 washed

00:39:32.160 --> 00:39:33.519
 with pure water

00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:35.600
 now both of these phrases

00:39:35.600 --> 00:39:36.740
 are hearts sprinkled clean

00:39:36.739 --> 00:39:38.159
 from an evil conscience

00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:38.819
 and our bodies

00:39:38.819 --> 00:39:39.619
 washed with pure water

00:39:39.619 --> 00:39:40.679
 are references

00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:42.039
 to some of that

00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:43.619
 ceremonial purification

00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:44.099
 that I

00:39:44.099 --> 00:39:46.079
 mentioned earlier

00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:48.199
 our hearts

00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:49.539
 speak well clean

00:39:49.539 --> 00:39:50.859
 from an evil conscience

00:39:50.859 --> 00:39:52.199
 look at Hebrews chapter 9

00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:54.519
 11 through 14

00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:56.419
 the writer says

00:39:56.419 --> 00:39:57.039
 but when Christ

00:39:57.039 --> 00:39:58.219
 appeared as a high priest

00:39:58.219 --> 00:39:59.000
 of the good things

00:39:59.000 --> 00:39:59.559
 that have come

00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:01.259
 then through the greater

00:40:01.259 --> 00:40:02.519
 and more perfect tent

00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:03.639
 not made with hands

00:40:03.639 --> 00:40:05.299
 that is not of this creation

00:40:05.300 --> 00:40:07.200
 he entered once for all

00:40:07.200 --> 00:40:08.360
 into the holy places

00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:09.840
 not by means of the blood

00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:10.680
 of goats and calves

00:40:10.680 --> 00:40:12.400
 but by means of his own blood

00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:13.800
 thus securing

00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:14.940
 an eternal redemption

00:40:14.940 --> 00:40:16.400
 for if the blood

00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:17.280
 of goats and bulls

00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:18.140
 and the sprinkling

00:40:18.140 --> 00:40:19.300
 of defiled persons

00:40:19.300 --> 00:40:20.039
 with the ashes

00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:20.600
 of a heifer

00:40:20.600 --> 00:40:21.300
 sanctify

00:40:21.300 --> 00:40:22.400
 for the purification

00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:23.120
 of the flesh

00:40:23.120 --> 00:40:24.380
 how much more

00:40:24.380 --> 00:40:24.860
 would the blood

00:40:24.860 --> 00:40:25.440
 of Christ

00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:26.560
 who through the eternal

00:40:26.560 --> 00:40:27.000
 spirit

00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:27.740
 offered himself

00:40:27.740 --> 00:40:28.360
 without blemish

00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:28.820
 to God

00:40:28.820 --> 00:40:30.500
 purify our conscience

00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:31.480
 from dead works

00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:33.019
 to serve the living God

00:40:33.019 --> 00:40:34.820
 what is he talking about

00:40:34.820 --> 00:40:36.300
 all this sprinkling

00:40:36.300 --> 00:40:37.280
 and heifer

00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:38.539
 purify the flesh

00:40:38.539 --> 00:40:39.940
 in those last two verses

00:40:39.940 --> 00:40:41.659
 he's referencing

00:40:41.659 --> 00:40:43.000
 Numbers chapter 19

00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:45.219
 where there's instructions

00:40:45.219 --> 00:40:47.259
 given to a person

00:40:47.259 --> 00:40:49.460
 who touched a dead body

00:40:49.460 --> 00:40:50.920
 so in some way

00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:51.699
 was involved

00:40:51.699 --> 00:40:52.559
 in embalming

00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:53.880
 or had a relative

00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:54.420
 who had died

00:40:54.420 --> 00:40:55.219
 somebody who had touched

00:40:55.219 --> 00:40:55.860
 a dead body

00:40:55.860 --> 00:40:57.360
 was considered unclean

00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:58.320
 and couldn't

00:40:58.320 --> 00:40:59.800
 go to the temple

00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:00.500
 as a result

00:41:00.500 --> 00:41:01.659
 and there was a process

00:41:01.659 --> 00:41:02.320
 by which

00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:03.840
 they were purified

00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:05.099
 there was ashes

00:41:05.099 --> 00:41:06.000
 mixed with blood

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:06.739
 and they were sprinkled

00:41:06.739 --> 00:41:07.159
 with that

00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:08.059
 and then

00:41:08.059 --> 00:41:09.900
 a number of days later

00:41:09.900 --> 00:41:11.539
 they would be purified

00:41:11.539 --> 00:41:12.980
 that's what he's referencing

00:41:12.980 --> 00:41:13.320
 there

00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:15.099
 so if that

00:41:15.099 --> 00:41:17.539
 was for the purification

00:41:17.539 --> 00:41:18.139
 of the flesh

00:41:18.139 --> 00:41:19.380
 how much more

00:41:19.380 --> 00:41:20.179
 would the blood

00:41:20.179 --> 00:41:20.860
 of Christ

00:41:20.860 --> 00:41:22.980
 our great high priest

00:41:22.980 --> 00:41:24.840
 who through eternal spirit

00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:25.559
 offered himself

00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:26.039
 without blemish

00:41:26.039 --> 00:41:26.420
 to God

00:41:26.420 --> 00:41:27.980
 purify our conscience

00:41:27.980 --> 00:41:29.019
 from dead works

00:41:29.019 --> 00:41:31.440
 the second phrase

00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:33.340
 our bodies washed

00:41:33.340 --> 00:41:34.219
 with pure water

00:41:34.219 --> 00:41:36.619
 Ezekiel 36

00:41:36.619 --> 00:41:38.099
 25-26

00:41:38.099 --> 00:41:39.019
 God writes

00:41:39.019 --> 00:41:40.000
 I will sprinkle

00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:40.880
 clean water

00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:41.679
 on you

00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:43.400
 and you shall be

00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:44.320
 clean from all

00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:45.460
 your uncleanliness

00:41:45.460 --> 00:41:46.420
 and from all

00:41:46.420 --> 00:41:46.980
 your idols

00:41:46.980 --> 00:41:47.960
 I will cleanse you

00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:48.960
 and I will give you

00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:49.679
 a new heart

00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:50.880
 and a new spirit

00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:51.940
 I will put within you

00:41:51.940 --> 00:41:52.739
 and I will remove

00:41:52.739 --> 00:41:53.400
 the heart of stone

00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:54.079
 from your flesh

00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:54.759
 and give you

00:41:54.759 --> 00:41:56.259
 a heart of flesh

00:41:56.260 --> 00:41:58.100
 if you are not

00:41:58.100 --> 00:41:59.360
 a regenerate Christian

00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:01.220
 you cannot worship

00:42:01.220 --> 00:42:01.740
 God rightly

00:42:01.740 --> 00:42:04.280
 it is impossible

00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:05.420
 if Christianity

00:42:05.420 --> 00:42:06.540
 is a religion

00:42:06.540 --> 00:42:07.080
 of the heart

00:42:07.080 --> 00:42:08.840
 and you're not a Christian

00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:09.860
 you have a heart of stone

00:42:09.860 --> 00:42:11.200
 it does not matter

00:42:11.200 --> 00:42:12.400
 if you go through

00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:13.060
 all the motions

00:42:13.060 --> 00:42:13.700
 properly

00:42:13.700 --> 00:42:15.100
 it doesn't matter

00:42:15.100 --> 00:42:16.140
 if you look

00:42:16.140 --> 00:42:17.380
 like a Christian

00:42:17.380 --> 00:42:20.260
 it's a matter of the heart

00:42:20.260 --> 00:42:22.380
 so Christian worship

00:42:22.380 --> 00:42:24.200
 is corporate emphasis

00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:26.099
 frequent occurrence

00:42:26.099 --> 00:42:28.639
 thoroughly preoccupied

00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:29.259
 with God

00:42:29.259 --> 00:42:30.839
 includes all

00:42:30.839 --> 00:42:31.639
 of our being

00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:34.199
 characterized by confidence

00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:36.699
 and preceded by purification

00:42:36.699 --> 00:42:38.859
 and it's my prayer

00:42:38.859 --> 00:42:39.939
 and we'll pray in a moment

00:42:39.939 --> 00:42:40.500
 to descend

00:42:40.500 --> 00:42:42.219
 that Christ's Family Church

00:42:42.219 --> 00:42:43.099
 is a church

00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:44.579
 that worships God

00:42:44.579 --> 00:42:45.219
 together

00:42:45.219 --> 00:42:46.500
 rightly
