00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.080
 The first letter of John and chapter 1 and we can read at verse number 5.

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:10.919
! 1 John 1 at verse number 5.

00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:23.240
! This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you that God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:27.000
 And so on down to the end of this chapter.

00:00:28.619 --> 00:00:39.899
 When we read our Bibles and we learn our Bibles, we understand that the Bible is about God's mission for his world.

00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:46.579
 And all of the books of the Bible give expression to that mission in different ways.

00:00:46.579 --> 00:01:03.000
 And when we read different books of the Bible, they give expression to the mission of God based upon the needs of those who are going to hear these letters read as they were or who are to read these letters in later generations.

00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:16.180
 Letters are designed for particular people in particular situations so that they will understand the mission of God and so that they will come to understand the grace of salvation.

00:01:16.579 --> 00:01:19.420
 This letter is exactly like that.

00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:22.400
 It is of course in line with the mission of God.

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:31.280
 And it is in line with the mission of God because John wants people to know that they are the children of God.

00:01:32.099 --> 00:01:42.420
 And when we read through the letter, we understand that the reasons that he is writing the way that he is, is because there was a lot of misunderstanding.

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:42.739
 There was a lot of misunderstanding.

00:01:43.739 --> 00:01:48.000
 There was a lot of misunderstanding with regard to who Jesus was.

00:01:48.859 --> 00:01:53.859
 There was a lot of misunderstanding with regard to how they should live their lives as the children of God.

00:01:54.460 --> 00:02:00.540
 There was the misunderstanding as to how they should live their lives in relation to each other.

00:02:00.540 --> 00:02:08.620
 And all of these three elements, they are not exclusive to those who are going to hear the letter from John.

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:16.740
 They are elements that we face and are challenged with in the whole life and the experience of Christ's church in the world.

00:02:17.740 --> 00:02:26.080
 And John, in addressing the needs of the people, we could say that he has a double focus in this letter.

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:31.360
 And the first of these is, in the verse that we read, God is light.

00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:37.660
 And then we have, in chapter 4, the whole idea that God is love.

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:49.120
 And these two great proclamations of these, God will hang everything that he is going to say that should affect their thinking,

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:54.860
 should affect their living, and should affect their relationship with the Lord Jesus.

00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:05.160
 And when we look even further behind the issues that the hearers are facing in their lives,

00:03:05.939 --> 00:03:13.120
 we understand the way in which John, in particular, in these verses and these strands are through,

00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:19.240
 that in particular, he wants to remind them what faith means,

00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:23.000
 and what it means for those who have a faith,

00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.500
 that there is a particular lifestyle and living that is essential,

00:03:29.260 --> 00:03:36.560
 and is also confirmation of the very life of the children of God in their hearts.

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.660
 And we read through the letter, and it's full of John's love for the people,

00:03:41.660 --> 00:03:45.400
 his pastoral care, he's speaking to his family,

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.680
 because he cares for them.

00:03:48.620 --> 00:03:55.280
 And today, from these words, we want to think of the character of God and the life of discipleship.

00:03:56.540 --> 00:03:59.939
 And the first thing we want to notice is the perspective,

00:04:01.140 --> 00:04:05.140
 how we view objects in relation to one another.

00:04:05.139 --> 00:04:09.699
 And the perspective is the character of God,

00:04:10.359 --> 00:04:14.019
 that in verse 5, God is light.

00:04:15.059 --> 00:04:17.579
 He is absolute illumination.

00:04:19.099 --> 00:04:24.979
 The psalmist tells us in Psalm 104 that he is clothed about with light as with a robe.

00:04:25.779 --> 00:04:27.939
 Wherever we are going to find God,

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.219
 he is the God who is light.

00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:36.480
 Paul speaks in writing to Timothy in 1 Timothy chapter 6,

00:04:36.940 --> 00:04:39.740
 that God dwells in an approachable light.

00:04:40.820 --> 00:04:45.820
 It's the brightness and the glaring of light that the human eye cannot behold.

00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:49.440
 And as we read our Bibles,

00:04:49.660 --> 00:04:53.280
 we see that the light that is God,

00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.260
 that it shines and makes itself known in two particular ways.

00:04:58.259 --> 00:05:03.039
 It makes itself known, first of all, in the work of creation.

00:05:04.219 --> 00:05:07.759
 There was darkness, there was chaos, there was confusion.

00:05:08.599 --> 00:05:12.079
 And God said, let there be light, and there was light.

00:05:13.159 --> 00:05:17.680
 The Spirit of God hovering over the water brought about order,

00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:19.860
 brought about light,

00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:24.039
 and continued to bring about the beauty of God's creation.

00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.740
 When I hear that God is light,

00:05:27.760 --> 00:05:32.900
 I think of the name of God made known to me in the work of creation.

00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.360
 He separated light from the darkness.

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:38.840
 He is the God who is light.

00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.140
 But when I read my Bible also,

00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:45.660
 I'm reminded that I see the light of God

00:05:45.660 --> 00:05:48.480
 in his salvation.

00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:52.080
 And we saw that in the Psalms that we sang.

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.060
 Psalm 27,

00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.400
 The Lord is my light and my salvation.

00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.200
 The same psalmist in Psalm 43 prays,

00:06:00.860 --> 00:06:03.259
 Send your light forth and your truth.

00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:06.000
 God is light.

00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:08.740
 God is light in his salvation.

00:06:10.200 --> 00:06:12.340
 He shines into the world

00:06:12.340 --> 00:06:15.160
 because of his desire to save.

00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.560
 And the third way in which we recognize

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.200
 the Bible speaking about God as light,

00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:28.300
 it is with regard to his relationships

00:06:28.300 --> 00:06:31.320
 with the people that he has created.

00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.860
 The light speaks of his holiness,

00:06:35.660 --> 00:06:38.600
 of the brightness of the shining of his character.

00:06:39.540 --> 00:06:41.520
 And I read about Isaiah in chapter 6,

00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:44.600
 and he saw the brightness of the shining of God

00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.000
 and as soon as he was aware of the brightness

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:49.480
 and the holiness of God,

00:06:49.640 --> 00:06:50.700
 he cried out,

00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:54.040
 I am lost because of a man of unclean lips.

00:06:54.320 --> 00:06:55.340
 He was a sinner.

00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.939
 He was confronted with the light of the glory of God.

00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.640
 Whatever God shines in his light,

00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:05.240
 as he did also on Mount Sinai

00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:07.240
 with regard to the children of Israel,

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:09.560
 he was going to come down

00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.400
 and he was going to shine brightly.

00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.879
 And he told Moses,

00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.919
 tell the people not to come near this mountain

00:07:16.919 --> 00:07:18.899
 because I am coming down

00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:20.919
 in case they perish.

00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:23.799
 The God who is light,

00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.599
 who shines brightly in creation,

00:07:28.539 --> 00:07:30.979
 who shines brightly in salvation,

00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:34.099
 and who shines brightly in his relationship

00:07:34.099 --> 00:07:37.539
 with all of his created creatures.

00:07:37.540 --> 00:07:39.980
 That's the perspective.

00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:44.920
 And God wants us today to recognize that

00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.420
 so that wherever I go in life,

00:07:48.900 --> 00:07:51.340
 I'm going to view every object before me.

00:07:51.820 --> 00:07:53.640
 I'm going to view everything that I do.

00:07:54.320 --> 00:07:56.120
 I'm going to view the places that I go to

00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:00.540
 all under the perspective that God is light.

00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:04.000
 Under the perspective of the shining of his beauty

00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:04.759
 in creation,

00:08:05.339 --> 00:08:08.459
 under the perspective of his promised salvation,

00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:10.639
 and under the perspective that

00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.459
 everything that I do

00:08:12.459 --> 00:08:16.180
 has to do with my relationship with God.

00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:24.759
 And the great display of the light,

00:08:24.899 --> 00:08:26.939
 of the character of God,

00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:28.319
 we have, of course,

00:08:28.379 --> 00:08:30.139
 in the passion of the Lord Jesus.

00:08:30.139 --> 00:08:35.100
 We may think of the distribution of light.

00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:37.419
 We may think of connectivity.

00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.179
 But there is distribution and connectivity

00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:43.939
 when God sends his Son into the world,

00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:45.860
 into the darkness of the world.

00:08:47.139 --> 00:08:49.139
 The light shone in the darkness,

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:51.620
 and the darkness did not comprehend it.

00:08:52.779 --> 00:08:53.419
 Jesus says,

00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:55.539
 I am the light of the world.

00:08:56.620 --> 00:08:58.220
 He knew who he was.

00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:02.100
 And John tells us in John chapter 1,

00:09:02.660 --> 00:09:04.759
 that no one has ever seen God,

00:09:05.420 --> 00:09:08.680
 that the only Son has made him known.

00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:10.879
 In him was life,

00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.240
 and his life was the light of men.

00:09:15.060 --> 00:09:17.980
 The perspective of the God who is light,

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:22.480
 now brought into close proximity with us

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.240
 in the oppression of his Son.

00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.180
 And that's why Jesus says,

00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.500
 in that chapter that we read,

00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:32.620
 in John chapter 12,

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.039
 and also in John chapter 3,

00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:35.299
 he speaks of the way in which,

00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:38.860
 if they will follow me,

00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.399
 they will not walk in darkness,

00:09:41.820 --> 00:09:44.200
 but will have the light of life.

00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.039
 Light illuminates.

00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:51.899
 The other thing that light does,

00:09:52.659 --> 00:09:55.579
 it unveils our true identity.

00:09:57.819 --> 00:10:01.639
 Because under the perspective that God is light today,

00:10:02.139 --> 00:10:02.939
 God wants us,

00:10:03.079 --> 00:10:05.199
 and Jesus wants us to understand,

00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:10.240
 that our response to God being light,

00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.559
 is to become disciples of the Lord Jesus,

00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:15.500
 and as soon as we do so,

00:10:16.219 --> 00:10:18.879
 that we walk in his light.

00:10:19.859 --> 00:10:21.319
 And if we are not doing so,

00:10:21.379 --> 00:10:23.079
 and if we don't do so,

00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:27.059
 then we continue to walk in darkness.

00:10:28.939 --> 00:10:33.259
 The light of God revealed to us

00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:35.559
 in the passion of the Lord Jesus,

00:10:36.339 --> 00:10:38.839
 embodied in his passion and in his work,

00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:44.820
 that reveals and unveils your identity.

00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:47.759
 And as we move on,

00:10:48.420 --> 00:10:50.300
 that today is critical.

00:10:51.300 --> 00:10:53.759
 If we are to understand the mission of God

00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.620
 in building his church,

00:10:57.460 --> 00:10:59.420
 in forming his own family,

00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:01.280
 in having children in the world

00:11:01.280 --> 00:11:03.580
 that are going to be in his eternal family home,

00:11:03.900 --> 00:11:04.860
 it is critical

00:11:04.860 --> 00:11:07.680
 that as surely as John's hearers

00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:09.519
 we're going to understand

00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.759
 that this light shows them

00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.059
 the kind of people that they are,

00:11:14.699 --> 00:11:16.679
 we need to understand

00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.899
 that as we worship God,

00:11:19.419 --> 00:11:20.939
 we need to ensure

00:11:20.939 --> 00:11:24.059
 that we are not confused in our thinking,

00:11:25.079 --> 00:11:27.299
 but that we let the light of God

00:11:27.299 --> 00:11:29.079
 through Jesus and through his word

00:11:29.079 --> 00:11:31.339
 penetrate our lives

00:11:31.339 --> 00:11:33.719
 and show to us

00:11:33.719 --> 00:11:36.339
 whether a relationship with God today

00:11:36.340 --> 00:11:38.259
 is the right one

00:11:38.259 --> 00:11:40.519
 in the sense of being at peace with God

00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:44.080
 or whether it is the wrong one,

00:11:44.940 --> 00:11:46.200
 alienated from God

00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:49.360
 and described by Paul

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.639
 in Romans chapter 5,

00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.060
 enemies of God.

00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:56.620
 The perspective.

00:11:57.660 --> 00:11:58.500
 Let's not think

00:11:58.500 --> 00:12:01.259
 it's for 60 minutes

00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:03.139
 on the morning of the Lord's Day

00:12:03.139 --> 00:12:04.319
 that we think of

00:12:04.319 --> 00:12:06.379
 God as light

00:12:06.379 --> 00:12:07.559
 as our perspective.

00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:08.960
 It's a perspective

00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.460
 for the whole of life

00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:12.899
 and it shines into our lives

00:12:12.899 --> 00:12:15.779
 to prove who we are

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:17.199
 and to enable us

00:12:17.199 --> 00:12:18.500
 to see the things

00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:21.159
 that are around us.

00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:23.939
 The perspective.

00:12:24.199 --> 00:12:25.120
 That leads me secondly

00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.399
 to participation.

00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:32.500
 If light is in Jesus

00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:35.079
 and God's kingdom is in light

00:12:35.079 --> 00:12:38.579
 and disciples are to understand

00:12:38.579 --> 00:12:39.480
 who Jesus is,

00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:41.539
 then how do we participate?

00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:44.279
 How do we become part of God's family?

00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:50.220
 John uses a word

00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:51.159
 which speaks to us

00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:53.000
 of coming together.

00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:54.699
 In verse number 7,

00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:55.980
 he speaks about

00:12:55.980 --> 00:12:57.860
 having fellowship.

00:12:58.920 --> 00:12:59.540
 It's having

00:12:59.540 --> 00:13:01.480
 something in common.

00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:02.900
 Something that we have

00:13:02.900 --> 00:13:04.580
 a shared interest in.

00:13:05.660 --> 00:13:06.540
 Something that is

00:13:06.540 --> 00:13:08.640
 really precious to ourselves

00:13:08.640 --> 00:13:10.720
 and precious to other people.

00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:13.660
 And in a wider world

00:13:13.660 --> 00:13:14.240
 in which we live,

00:13:14.640 --> 00:13:15.320
 people will use

00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:16.259
 the idea of fellowship

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:17.620
 for so many different things

00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:18.960
 beyond the Bible.

00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:20.800
 There's a fellowship

00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:22.140
 because we gather

00:13:22.140 --> 00:13:24.040
 around a particular constitution

00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:25.839
 or a particular organization

00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:27.419
 and we share

00:13:27.419 --> 00:13:28.299
 the same interest

00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:29.699
 and we gather together

00:13:29.699 --> 00:13:31.199
 to discuss these interests.

00:13:31.599 --> 00:13:33.299
 That is a fellowship

00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:35.740
 that speaks of relationships

00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:36.879
 out in the world.

00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:38.620
 But here,

00:13:38.939 --> 00:13:40.240
 there is a fellowship

00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.079
 which is

00:13:42.079 --> 00:13:44.819
 with the Father

00:13:44.819 --> 00:13:45.959
 and with the Son,

00:13:46.219 --> 00:13:47.099
 Jesus Christ.

00:13:49.579 --> 00:13:51.019
 This is the true use

00:13:51.019 --> 00:13:52.019
 of the word fellowship.

00:13:52.019 --> 00:13:53.019
 fellowship

00:13:53.019 --> 00:13:53.980
 that we have

00:13:53.980 --> 00:13:55.139
 a shared interest

00:13:55.139 --> 00:13:57.679
 in God

00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:58.419
 as the Father

00:13:58.419 --> 00:13:59.279
 who sent His Son

00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:00.840
 and God

00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:01.639
 as the Son

00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.199
 who came into the world

00:14:03.199 --> 00:14:05.439
 and in God

00:14:05.439 --> 00:14:06.460
 as the Holy Spirit

00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:07.360
 who shows

00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:07.899
 Jesus

00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:08.939
 to us.

00:14:10.439 --> 00:14:11.860
 It's a fellowship

00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:12.559
 of sharing

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:14.100
 that unites

00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:15.340
 the people of God

00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:17.519
 in order to

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:18.360
 give expression

00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:19.639
 to the faith

00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:20.220
 that they have

00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:21.120
 and the love

00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:21.720
 that they have

00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:22.660
 for God.

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:25.779
 And perhaps

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:27.100
 at a general way

00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:28.279
 of gathering

00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:29.519
 to worship God

00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:30.279
 on the Lord's Day

00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:31.399
 is that sense

00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:32.160
 of fellowship.

00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:34.560
 We have a shared interest,

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:36.300
 we have a common interest,

00:14:36.420 --> 00:14:37.300
 a common desire

00:14:37.300 --> 00:14:38.560
 to gather together

00:14:38.560 --> 00:14:39.580
 before God.

00:14:40.019 --> 00:14:40.620
 We are here

00:14:40.620 --> 00:14:41.860
 because of that

00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:42.980
 shared sense

00:14:42.980 --> 00:14:43.660
 of our need

00:14:43.660 --> 00:14:44.540
 to come

00:14:44.540 --> 00:14:45.879
 to worship God.

00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.799
 and that in itself

00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:49.259
 of course

00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:50.779
 is to be encouraged

00:14:50.779 --> 00:14:52.080
 and is commendable.

00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:54.860
 But we understand here

00:14:54.860 --> 00:14:56.179
 that those to whom

00:14:56.179 --> 00:14:57.100
 John was writing

00:14:57.100 --> 00:14:58.279
 that they were

00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:59.240
 confused.

00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:01.919
 They were confused

00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.620
 about what it meant

00:15:03.620 --> 00:15:05.740
 to live as the children

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:06.279
 of God.

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:08.860
 In verse number 6,

00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:10.580
 if we say,

00:15:10.940 --> 00:15:11.860
 this was their claim,

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:13.200
 if we say

00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:14.480
 we have fellowship

00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:15.019
 with him

00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:16.220
 while we walk

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:16.779
 in darkness,

00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.379
 we lie

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:19.080
 and do not

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:20.019
 practice the truth.

00:15:22.379 --> 00:15:23.320
 They were making

00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:23.759
 a claim.

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:25.960
 They were basically

00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:26.480
 making a claim

00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:26.960
 that they were

00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:27.899
 the children of God.

00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:30.800
 And in making

00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:31.419
 that claim,

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:32.779
 their lives

00:15:32.779 --> 00:15:33.340
 were lived

00:15:33.340 --> 00:15:34.620
 in a particular way.

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:36.460
 They were walking

00:15:36.460 --> 00:15:37.580
 in darkness.

00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:39.620
 The whole idea

00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:40.080
 of walking

00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.139
 in the Bible

00:15:41.139 --> 00:15:42.200
 in very simple terms

00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:43.600
 is to walk

00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:44.740
 about on my patio.

00:15:46.560 --> 00:15:47.200
 In other words,

00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:48.840
 it's walking

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:50.360
 about in my space

00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:51.020
 in the world.

00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:52.780
 And wherever I go,

00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:53.600
 I have my space

00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.639
 and I do certain

00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:56.080
 things in my space.

00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:57.960
 My patio

00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:58.700
 is the way

00:15:58.700 --> 00:15:59.800
 that I live my life.

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:01.500
 The way that I walk

00:16:01.500 --> 00:16:02.580
 around in the world.

00:16:04.160 --> 00:16:05.500
 And my patio

00:16:05.500 --> 00:16:07.020
 should be

00:16:07.020 --> 00:16:08.259
 the kind of

00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:09.500
 area to live

00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:10.159
 in my life

00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:11.120
 and that is

00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.460
 there as sanctioned

00:16:12.460 --> 00:16:13.220
 by God

00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:14.440
 and by the Word

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:14.980
 of God

00:16:14.980 --> 00:16:16.059
 so that I walk

00:16:16.059 --> 00:16:17.240
 around in that space

00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:18.600
 where God's light

00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:19.779
 shines on my life

00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:20.659
 and where I'm

00:16:20.659 --> 00:16:21.899
 walking in that light.

00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:24.399
 But they are

00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:25.080
 claiming that they

00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:26.360
 have fellowship

00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:27.940
 and yet

00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:29.159
 they are walking

00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:30.100
 in darkness.

00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:32.179
 The space

00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:32.980
 that they occupy

00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:33.759
 in this world

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.820
 is a life

00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:35.440
 lived

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:36.799
 in the service

00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:37.500
 of darkness

00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:38.859
 with no light

00:16:38.859 --> 00:16:39.579
 of salvation

00:16:39.579 --> 00:16:40.799
 with no light

00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:41.359
 of God

00:16:41.359 --> 00:16:42.399
 with no light

00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:43.000
 of Jesus

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:44.259
 walking about

00:16:44.259 --> 00:16:45.419
 doing the things

00:16:45.419 --> 00:16:46.699
 of this world.

00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.419
 And John speaks

00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:50.899
 throughout this

00:16:50.899 --> 00:16:51.240
 lecture

00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:51.899
 of the way

00:16:51.899 --> 00:16:52.259
 in which

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:53.599
 the love

00:16:53.599 --> 00:16:54.500
 of the world

00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:55.039
 and the things

00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:55.799
 of this world

00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:56.679
 they are not

00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:57.099
 the things

00:16:57.099 --> 00:16:58.179
 that are of God.

00:16:58.899 --> 00:16:59.979
 They are the things

00:16:59.979 --> 00:17:00.859
 that belong

00:17:00.859 --> 00:17:02.779
 to the devil

00:17:02.779 --> 00:17:03.240
 himself

00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:03.839
 the God

00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:04.660
 of this world.

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:06.860
 And immediately

00:17:06.860 --> 00:17:07.539
 we have

00:17:07.539 --> 00:17:09.059
 not only confusion

00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:10.000
 but a complete

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:10.740
 contradiction

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:13.120
 that they are

00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:14.120
 claiming one thing

00:17:14.120 --> 00:17:15.519
 and living their lives

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.140
 in another way.

00:17:18.620 --> 00:17:19.600
 And John tells them

00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:20.220
 that

00:17:20.220 --> 00:17:21.720
 they are lying

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.059
 and they do not

00:17:23.059 --> 00:17:24.220
 practice

00:17:24.220 --> 00:17:24.880
 the truth.

00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.279
 Not simply

00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:27.579
 that

00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:28.860
 they are not

00:17:28.860 --> 00:17:30.160
 agreeing

00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:31.500
 with what

00:17:31.500 --> 00:17:32.600
 the Bible says

00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:34.259
 but living

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:34.879
 their lives

00:17:34.879 --> 00:17:36.199
 in complete

00:17:36.199 --> 00:17:36.980
 opposition

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:38.059
 to what

00:17:38.059 --> 00:17:38.819
 the Bible

00:17:38.819 --> 00:17:39.539
 says.

00:17:41.779 --> 00:17:42.639
 And God

00:17:42.639 --> 00:17:43.159
 wants

00:17:43.159 --> 00:17:44.379
 you and I

00:17:44.379 --> 00:17:44.799
 today

00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:46.139
 to be

00:17:46.139 --> 00:17:46.980
 on our guard

00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:49.339
 with regard

00:17:49.339 --> 00:17:49.819
 to this

00:17:49.819 --> 00:17:50.539
 very thing

00:17:50.539 --> 00:17:53.299
 that we may

00:17:53.299 --> 00:17:54.459
 make a claim

00:17:54.459 --> 00:17:54.919
 that we are

00:17:54.919 --> 00:17:55.299
 the children

00:17:55.299 --> 00:17:55.819
 of God.

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:56.879
 We may make

00:17:56.879 --> 00:17:57.480
 a profession

00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:57.899
 that we are

00:17:57.899 --> 00:17:58.259
 the children

00:17:58.259 --> 00:17:58.799
 of God.

00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:02.059
 but we need

00:18:02.059 --> 00:18:02.399
 to be

00:18:02.399 --> 00:18:03.079
 on our guard

00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:04.220
 that our lives

00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:05.119
 are not lived

00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:06.200
 in a way

00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.460
 that contradicts

00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:07.779
 that.

00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:09.159
 That the space

00:18:09.159 --> 00:18:09.879
 that I occupy

00:18:09.879 --> 00:18:10.619
 in life

00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:11.839
 is no different

00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:12.440
 to the space

00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:13.460
 occupied by those

00:18:13.460 --> 00:18:14.720
 who have no faith

00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:15.759
 and who have no God

00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:17.000
 and have no desire

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:17.599
 for God.

00:18:18.619 --> 00:18:19.359
 And if I

00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:20.200
 say today

00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:21.139
 that I am a child

00:18:21.139 --> 00:18:21.599
 of God

00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:22.639
 and I am so

00:18:22.639 --> 00:18:23.919
 immersed

00:18:23.919 --> 00:18:25.200
 and blended in

00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:26.619
 with a lost world

00:18:26.619 --> 00:18:27.299
 in its darkness

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:28.899
 that there is

00:18:28.899 --> 00:18:29.679
 no distinction

00:18:29.679 --> 00:18:31.459
 then I am

00:18:31.459 --> 00:18:33.259
 getting confused

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:35.299
 and I am

00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:36.500
 risking

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:38.159
 the whole

00:18:38.159 --> 00:18:39.219
 of my salvation

00:18:39.219 --> 00:18:40.119
 because of my

00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:40.899
 confusion.

00:18:41.959 --> 00:18:42.319
 It is not

00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:42.879
 something that

00:18:42.879 --> 00:18:43.399
 was alien

00:18:43.399 --> 00:18:44.559
 or specific

00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:45.579
 to those

00:18:45.579 --> 00:18:46.139
 who were

00:18:46.139 --> 00:18:48.579
 hearing this

00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:49.419
 letter from John.

00:18:50.639 --> 00:18:51.579
 It is something

00:18:51.579 --> 00:18:52.799
 that appears

00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:53.979
 time after time

00:18:53.979 --> 00:18:54.979
 in the history

00:18:54.979 --> 00:18:55.759
 of the church

00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.140
 that you

00:18:57.140 --> 00:18:57.680
 and I

00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:58.859
 can be

00:18:58.859 --> 00:19:00.200
 so confused

00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:00.879
 in our thinking

00:19:00.879 --> 00:19:02.599
 that we think

00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:03.500
 we can become

00:19:03.500 --> 00:19:04.079
 Christians

00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:05.059
 and be Christians

00:19:05.059 --> 00:19:06.299
 and our lives

00:19:06.299 --> 00:19:07.299
 don't change

00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:08.039
 at all.

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:10.299
 The confusion.

00:19:13.299 --> 00:19:14.700
 There must be

00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:15.879
 conformity

00:19:15.879 --> 00:19:17.259
 in order

00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:18.599
 to prove

00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:19.519
 participation

00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:20.299
 in salvation

00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:21.980
 and to confirm

00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:23.440
 that we are

00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.019
 the children

00:19:24.019 --> 00:19:24.660
 of God

00:19:24.660 --> 00:19:25.920
 in verse

00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:26.460
 number 7.

00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:27.799
 But

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:29.639
 if we walk

00:19:29.639 --> 00:19:30.160
 in the light

00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.379
 as he is

00:19:31.379 --> 00:19:31.839
 in the light

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:33.039
 we have fellowship

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:33.680
 with one another

00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:34.700
 and the blood

00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:35.220
 of Jesus

00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:36.660
 son cleanses

00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:38.079
 from all sin.

00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:41.839
 If the space

00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.859
 that I occupy

00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:44.500
 is light

00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:46.460
 and when I

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:47.000
 think of that

00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:47.680
 space that I

00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:48.039
 occupy

00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:49.420
 which is

00:19:49.420 --> 00:19:50.099
 light

00:19:50.099 --> 00:19:52.719
 I think

00:19:52.719 --> 00:19:53.359
 of three

00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:53.899
 particular

00:19:53.899 --> 00:19:54.359
 sources

00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:55.259
 that give

00:19:55.259 --> 00:19:55.639
 light

00:19:55.639 --> 00:19:56.119
 into my

00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:56.559
 space

00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:57.939
 that govern

00:19:57.939 --> 00:19:58.539
 my thinking

00:19:58.539 --> 00:19:59.019
 and govern

00:19:59.019 --> 00:19:59.579
 the way

00:19:59.579 --> 00:19:59.879
 that I

00:19:59.879 --> 00:20:00.199
 live

00:20:00.199 --> 00:20:01.079
 and I

00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:01.379
 think of

00:20:01.379 --> 00:20:01.859
 the God

00:20:01.859 --> 00:20:02.199
 who is

00:20:02.199 --> 00:20:02.559
 light

00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:03.740
 who speaks

00:20:03.740 --> 00:20:04.559
 through creation

00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:05.399
 who speaks

00:20:05.399 --> 00:20:05.779
 through his

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:06.359
 relationships

00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:07.000
 with me

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.059
 I think

00:20:08.059 --> 00:20:08.639
 of the God

00:20:08.639 --> 00:20:08.919
 who is

00:20:08.919 --> 00:20:09.279
 light

00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:10.639
 I also

00:20:10.639 --> 00:20:11.159
 think of

00:20:11.159 --> 00:20:12.000
 the sun

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:12.419
 who is

00:20:12.419 --> 00:20:12.819
 the light

00:20:12.819 --> 00:20:13.339
 of the world

00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:15.079
 and all

00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:15.599
 that he is

00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:15.839
 in his

00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:16.240
 passion

00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:16.980
 and all

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:17.299
 that he has

00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:17.559
 done

00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:17.839
 in his

00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:18.139
 work

00:20:18.140 --> 00:20:19.060
 that is

00:20:19.060 --> 00:20:19.660
 the light

00:20:19.660 --> 00:20:20.320
 that shines

00:20:20.320 --> 00:20:21.240
 into my

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:21.740
 space

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:23.400
 and thirdly

00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:23.680
 I have

00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:24.040
 the light

00:20:24.040 --> 00:20:24.380
 of the

00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:25.320
 word of

00:20:25.320 --> 00:20:25.640
 God

00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:26.880
 so that

00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:27.240
 there are

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:27.900
 three

00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:29.400
 closely

00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:29.980
 linked

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:31.220
 sources of

00:20:31.220 --> 00:20:31.580
 light

00:20:31.580 --> 00:20:32.900
 radiation

00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:33.600
 of light

00:20:33.600 --> 00:20:34.280
 into my

00:20:34.280 --> 00:20:34.600
 life

00:20:34.600 --> 00:20:35.080
 that

00:20:35.080 --> 00:20:37.140
 enable me

00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:38.300
 to walk

00:20:38.300 --> 00:20:39.080
 in a way

00:20:39.080 --> 00:20:39.520
 that is

00:20:39.520 --> 00:20:40.620
 in harmony

00:20:40.620 --> 00:20:41.320
 with God

00:20:41.320 --> 00:20:42.840
 consistent

00:20:42.840 --> 00:20:43.320
 with the

00:20:43.320 --> 00:20:43.880
 word of

00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:44.240
 God

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:45.660
 and the

00:20:45.660 --> 00:20:46.340
 means of

00:20:46.340 --> 00:20:47.060
 establishing

00:20:47.059 --> 00:20:47.839
 that

00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:48.500
 fellowship

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:48.799
 that

00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:49.359
 communion

00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:49.960
 that

00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:50.379
 walking

00:20:50.379 --> 00:20:50.619
 with

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:50.940
 God

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:51.559
 that

00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:51.960
 not only

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:52.519
 confirms

00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:52.940
 that I'm

00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:53.579
 the child

00:20:53.579 --> 00:20:54.099
 of God

00:20:54.099 --> 00:20:55.839
 but where

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.480
 I find

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:57.539
 the blessing

00:20:57.539 --> 00:21:00.220
 Abraham

00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:00.700
 was a

00:21:00.700 --> 00:21:01.019
 friend

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:01.579
 of God

00:21:01.579 --> 00:21:03.460
 God

00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:04.119
 told Abraham

00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:04.859
 in Genesis

00:21:04.859 --> 00:21:05.279
 17

00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:06.720
 walk before

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:07.279
 me and

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:07.940
 be perfect

00:21:07.940 --> 00:21:10.159
 occupy

00:21:10.159 --> 00:21:11.379
 the

00:21:11.379 --> 00:21:11.819
 sun

00:21:11.819 --> 00:21:13.000
 in this

00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:13.460
 world

00:21:13.460 --> 00:21:14.460
 defined

00:21:14.460 --> 00:21:15.119
 by me

00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:16.019
 walk in

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:16.240
 that

00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:16.679
 place

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:17.779
 be

00:21:17.779 --> 00:21:18.400
 perfect

00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:19.060
 go on

00:21:19.060 --> 00:21:20.000
 in your

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:20.400
 relationship

00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:20.940
 with me

00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:22.799
 the Bible

00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:23.360
 also tells

00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:23.580
 us

00:21:23.580 --> 00:21:24.400
 with regard

00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:24.940
 to Enoch

00:21:24.940 --> 00:21:25.480
 in Genesis

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.220
 chapter 5

00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:27.200
 that Enoch

00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:28.180
 walked with

00:21:28.180 --> 00:21:28.620
 God

00:21:28.620 --> 00:21:30.700
 and he

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.140
 was not

00:21:31.140 --> 00:21:31.539
 because

00:21:31.539 --> 00:21:32.039
 ultimately

00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:32.860
 God

00:21:32.860 --> 00:21:33.640
 took him

00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:33.920
 to be

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.519
 with himself

00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:36.660
 it is

00:21:36.660 --> 00:21:37.420
 that sense

00:21:37.420 --> 00:21:39.000
 of friendship

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:39.680
 with God

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:41.380
 that sense

00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:42.519
 of communion

00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:43.160
 with God

00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:45.480
 it is

00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:46.360
 that sense

00:21:46.360 --> 00:21:47.740
 of having

00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:48.600
 our lives

00:21:48.600 --> 00:21:50.220
 permeated

00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:51.140
 by the

00:21:51.140 --> 00:21:51.720
 word of

00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:52.100
 God

00:21:52.100 --> 00:21:54.640
 walking

00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:55.060
 in the

00:21:55.060 --> 00:21:55.360
 light

00:21:55.360 --> 00:21:56.320
 we have

00:21:56.320 --> 00:21:56.880
 fellowship

00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:57.880
 with one

00:21:57.880 --> 00:21:58.259
 another

00:21:58.259 --> 00:21:59.400
 and notice

00:21:59.400 --> 00:21:59.820
 he does

00:21:59.820 --> 00:22:00.340
 not say

00:22:00.340 --> 00:22:01.240
 that we

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:01.400
 have

00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:01.740
 fellowship

00:22:01.740 --> 00:22:02.160
 with the

00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:02.380
 father

00:22:02.380 --> 00:22:02.620
 and with

00:22:02.620 --> 00:22:02.900
 the son

00:22:02.900 --> 00:22:03.600
 we have

00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:04.000
 fellowship

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:04.880
 with each

00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:05.340
 other

00:22:05.339 --> 00:22:07.539
 and here

00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:08.240
 is the

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:09.119
 formation

00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:09.740
 of God's

00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:10.279
 family

00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:12.099
 who are

00:22:12.099 --> 00:22:12.659
 the others

00:22:12.659 --> 00:22:13.879
 who is

00:22:13.879 --> 00:22:14.179
 going to

00:22:14.179 --> 00:22:14.279
 have

00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:14.819
 fellowship

00:22:14.819 --> 00:22:15.679
 it is

00:22:15.679 --> 00:22:16.079
 John

00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:16.619
 and the

00:22:16.619 --> 00:22:16.839
 other

00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:17.299
 apostles

00:22:17.299 --> 00:22:18.339
 with all

00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:18.639
 of the

00:22:18.639 --> 00:22:19.000
 people

00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:19.259
 in the

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:19.579
 churches

00:22:19.579 --> 00:22:19.939
 that they

00:22:19.939 --> 00:22:20.079
 are

00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:20.500
 speaking

00:22:20.500 --> 00:22:20.779
 to

00:22:20.779 --> 00:22:21.980
 it's

00:22:21.980 --> 00:22:22.179
 the

00:22:22.179 --> 00:22:22.899
 gathering

00:22:22.899 --> 00:22:23.559
 of people

00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:24.039
 around

00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:24.759
 the Lord

00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:25.099
 Jesus

00:22:25.099 --> 00:22:25.579
 and around

00:22:25.579 --> 00:22:26.039
 the word

00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:26.559
 of God

00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:28.319
 we have

00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:28.740
 fellowship

00:22:28.740 --> 00:22:29.779
 with

00:22:29.779 --> 00:22:31.099
 each

00:22:31.099 --> 00:22:31.439
 other

00:22:31.439 --> 00:22:33.019
 and that's

00:22:33.019 --> 00:22:33.240
 what

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:34.119
 defines

00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:34.559
 ourselves

00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:34.899
 today

00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:35.380
 as the

00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:35.680
 people

00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:36.120
 of God

00:22:36.120 --> 00:22:37.380
 that because

00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:38.420
 of the

00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:38.700
 way in

00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:39.040
 which the

00:22:39.040 --> 00:22:39.740
 light shines

00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:40.180
 into our

00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:40.620
 lives

00:22:40.620 --> 00:22:42.080
 because we

00:22:42.080 --> 00:22:42.880
 are persuaded

00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:43.800
 to be

00:22:43.800 --> 00:22:44.600
 disciples of

00:22:44.600 --> 00:22:44.900
 the Lord

00:22:44.900 --> 00:22:45.300
 Jesus

00:22:45.300 --> 00:22:46.680
 that because

00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:47.160
 of that

00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:48.800
 we have

00:22:48.800 --> 00:22:49.480
 fellowship

00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:50.440
 with each

00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:50.759
 other

00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:52.540
 we worship

00:22:52.540 --> 00:22:53.259
 God together

00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:54.660
 we talk to

00:22:54.660 --> 00:22:55.100
 each other

00:22:55.100 --> 00:22:55.980
 about God

00:22:55.980 --> 00:22:57.500
 we talk to

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:57.860
 each other

00:22:57.860 --> 00:22:58.480
 about our

00:22:58.480 --> 00:22:59.040
 experiences

00:22:59.040 --> 00:22:59.480
 as the

00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:00.080
 children of

00:23:00.080 --> 00:23:00.400
 God

00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:01.920
 we have

00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:02.360
 fellowship

00:23:02.360 --> 00:23:03.240
 with

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:04.360
 each other

00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:07.299
 and there

00:23:07.299 --> 00:23:07.939
 is a

00:23:07.939 --> 00:23:08.379
 vital

00:23:08.379 --> 00:23:09.339
 ingredient

00:23:09.339 --> 00:23:10.959
 at the

00:23:10.959 --> 00:23:11.159
 very

00:23:11.159 --> 00:23:11.679
 center

00:23:11.679 --> 00:23:12.079
 of that

00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:12.919
 participation

00:23:12.919 --> 00:23:14.579
 which

00:23:14.579 --> 00:23:15.259
 ensures

00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:16.379
 that our

00:23:16.379 --> 00:23:17.079
 participation

00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:17.959
 in the

00:23:17.959 --> 00:23:18.339
 fellowship

00:23:18.339 --> 00:23:18.899
 and in the

00:23:18.899 --> 00:23:19.240
 communion

00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:20.659
 goes on

00:23:20.659 --> 00:23:21.859
 forever

00:23:21.859 --> 00:23:22.399
 dare I

00:23:22.399 --> 00:23:22.639
 say

00:23:22.639 --> 00:23:25.199
 wherever

00:23:25.199 --> 00:23:25.839
 there is

00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:26.759
 fellowship

00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:28.099
 wherever

00:23:28.099 --> 00:23:28.799
 there is

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:29.959
 commonality

00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:31.180
 or community

00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:32.819
 there will

00:23:32.819 --> 00:23:33.200
 be

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.319
 issues

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:35.259
 and problems

00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:37.259
 and John

00:23:37.259 --> 00:23:37.620
 wants them

00:23:37.620 --> 00:23:38.200
 to understand

00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:38.600
 here that

00:23:38.600 --> 00:23:39.440
 that will

00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:40.160
 surely be

00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:40.680
 the case

00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:42.000
 in the

00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:42.539
 relationship

00:23:42.539 --> 00:23:43.019
 with God

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:44.059
 because of

00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:44.559
 the kind

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:44.980
 of people

00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:45.559
 they are

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:47.500
 but he

00:23:47.500 --> 00:23:47.840
 says

00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:51.319
 the blood

00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:51.819
 of Jesus

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:52.279
 son

00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:53.179
 cleanses

00:23:53.179 --> 00:23:53.480
 us

00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:55.119
 from all

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:55.539
 sin

00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:58.139
 my walk

00:23:58.139 --> 00:23:59.099
 with my

00:23:59.099 --> 00:23:59.439
 God

00:23:59.439 --> 00:23:59.839
 and with

00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:00.079
 my

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:00.579
 savior

00:24:00.579 --> 00:24:02.139
 in the

00:24:02.139 --> 00:24:02.500
 zone

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:03.099
 defined

00:24:03.099 --> 00:24:03.759
 by him

00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:05.679
 and my

00:24:05.679 --> 00:24:06.259
 relationship

00:24:06.259 --> 00:24:06.879
 with my

00:24:06.879 --> 00:24:07.179
 God

00:24:07.179 --> 00:24:07.819
 is

00:24:07.819 --> 00:24:08.379
 maintained

00:24:08.379 --> 00:24:09.299
 by God

00:24:09.299 --> 00:24:10.899
 through the

00:24:10.899 --> 00:24:11.419
 passion of

00:24:11.419 --> 00:24:11.699
 Jesus

00:24:11.699 --> 00:24:12.480
 and through

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:13.059
 the cross

00:24:13.059 --> 00:24:13.720
 of Jesus

00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:15.440
 that my

00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:16.079
 heart is

00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:16.500
 washed

00:24:16.500 --> 00:24:17.200
 continually

00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:18.000
 by the

00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:18.460
 blood of

00:24:18.460 --> 00:24:18.759
 Jesus

00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.740
 so that

00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:20.180
 the sin

00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:20.720
 that would

00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:21.500
 separate me

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:22.279
 from God

00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:23.019
 and does

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:23.500
 separate me

00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:23.960
 from God

00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:25.039
 is removed

00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:25.700
 and wiped

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:26.100
 away

00:24:26.100 --> 00:24:28.180
 so that

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:29.519
 there is

00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:30.680
 continuity

00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:32.960
 not only in

00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:33.720
 my relationship

00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:35.079
 but in my

00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:35.559
 friendship

00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:36.200
 with God

00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:36.860
 and in my

00:24:36.860 --> 00:24:37.579
 walk with

00:24:37.579 --> 00:24:37.900
 God

00:24:37.900 --> 00:24:40.319
 participation

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:43.660
 how much

00:24:43.660 --> 00:24:44.040
 does

00:24:44.040 --> 00:24:45.660
 the space

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:46.800
 that you

00:24:46.800 --> 00:24:47.340
 occupy

00:24:47.340 --> 00:24:49.420
 how much

00:24:49.420 --> 00:24:49.720
 is it

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:50.500
 filled with

00:24:50.500 --> 00:24:51.340
 God

00:24:51.340 --> 00:24:51.740
 and with

00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:52.120
 Jesus

00:24:52.120 --> 00:24:52.600
 and with

00:24:52.600 --> 00:24:53.220
 his word

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:55.440
 and how

00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:55.900
 much is

00:24:55.900 --> 00:24:56.380
 the space

00:24:56.380 --> 00:24:57.200
 that you

00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:57.720
 occupy

00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:58.860
 filled with

00:24:58.860 --> 00:24:59.440
 a sense

00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:00.759
 of growing

00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:01.620
 appreciation

00:25:01.620 --> 00:25:02.259
 of the

00:25:02.259 --> 00:25:03.019
 preciousness

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:03.800
 of the

00:25:03.800 --> 00:25:04.259
 cross of

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:04.540
 Jesus

00:25:04.540 --> 00:25:05.580
 that wipes

00:25:05.580 --> 00:25:06.180
 away your

00:25:06.180 --> 00:25:06.759
 sin every

00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:07.180
 day

00:25:07.180 --> 00:25:08.980
 and how

00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:09.440
 much is

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:09.900
 your space

00:25:09.900 --> 00:25:10.240
 filled

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:11.000
 with a

00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:11.720
 sense of

00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:12.500
 marvelling

00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:13.859
 that

00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:15.019
 the God

00:25:15.019 --> 00:25:15.319
 who is

00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:15.660
 light

00:25:15.660 --> 00:25:16.359
 that he

00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:16.839
 is also

00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:17.339
 the God

00:25:17.339 --> 00:25:17.680
 who is

00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:18.039
 love

00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:19.220
 and that

00:25:19.220 --> 00:25:19.400
 he

00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:20.319
 pours that

00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:20.839
 out into

00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:21.880
 your life

00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:23.019
 every day

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:24.960
 there is no

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.980
 participation

00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:26.920
 if we're

00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:27.440
 walking in

00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:28.019
 darkness

00:25:28.019 --> 00:25:29.420
 walking in

00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:29.819
 the light

00:25:29.819 --> 00:25:30.819
 confirms

00:25:30.819 --> 00:25:32.279
 our part

00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:32.539
 in the

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:33.220
 family of

00:25:33.220 --> 00:25:33.539
 God

00:25:33.539 --> 00:25:35.140
 and gives

00:25:35.140 --> 00:25:35.700
 to us

00:25:35.700 --> 00:25:36.380
 every day

00:25:36.380 --> 00:25:36.880
 a sense

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:37.720
 of belonging

00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:38.579
 a sense

00:25:38.579 --> 00:25:39.200
 of care

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:39.920
 and a

00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:40.220
 sense

00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:40.980
 of God's

00:25:40.980 --> 00:25:41.440
 love

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:42.500
 for us

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:45.819
 perspective

00:25:45.819 --> 00:25:46.700
 participation

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:49.259
 and finally

00:25:49.259 --> 00:25:51.640
 prescription

00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:54.400
 they were

00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:55.120
 confused

00:25:55.120 --> 00:25:56.140
 about the

00:25:56.140 --> 00:25:56.600
 kind of

00:25:56.600 --> 00:25:57.019
 life that

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:57.299
 they should

00:25:57.299 --> 00:25:57.600
 live

00:25:57.600 --> 00:25:58.920
 they were

00:25:58.920 --> 00:25:59.259
 also

00:25:59.259 --> 00:26:00.019
 confused

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:01.299
 about

00:26:01.299 --> 00:26:02.100
 their

00:26:02.100 --> 00:26:02.920
 sinnership

00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:04.440
 and in

00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:04.980
 verse 8

00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:05.380
 and in

00:26:05.380 --> 00:26:05.880
 verse 10

00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:06.720
 we see

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:07.400
 two aspects

00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:07.880
 of that

00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:08.440
 confusion

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:10.920
 and in

00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:11.400
 verse 8

00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:11.759
 we read

00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:12.519
 if we

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:13.019
 say we

00:26:13.019 --> 00:26:13.540
 have no

00:26:13.540 --> 00:26:13.800
 sin

00:26:13.800 --> 00:26:15.900
 they

00:26:15.900 --> 00:26:16.620
 didn't

00:26:16.620 --> 00:26:17.180
 understand

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:17.640
 that they

00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:18.320
 were sinners

00:26:18.320 --> 00:26:19.019
 by nature

00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:19.560
 as David

00:26:19.560 --> 00:26:20.000
 learned

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:21.200
 they didn't

00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:21.700
 understand

00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:22.380
 that they

00:26:22.380 --> 00:26:22.680
 had a

00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:23.000
 sinful

00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:23.600
 condition

00:26:23.600 --> 00:26:24.180
 at all

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:25.759
 living

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:26.160
 life

00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:27.340
 oblivious

00:26:27.340 --> 00:26:27.820
 to the

00:26:27.820 --> 00:26:28.120
 fact

00:26:28.120 --> 00:26:30.000
 that by

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:30.580
 nature

00:26:30.580 --> 00:26:31.300
 they were

00:26:31.300 --> 00:26:31.840
 sinners

00:26:31.840 --> 00:26:32.259
 in the

00:26:32.259 --> 00:26:32.759
 sight of

00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:33.100
 God

00:26:33.100 --> 00:26:34.200
 and in

00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:34.660
 verse 10

00:26:34.660 --> 00:26:35.600
 they are

00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:35.860
 saying

00:26:35.859 --> 00:26:38.240
 if we

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:38.740
 say we

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:39.139
 have not

00:26:39.139 --> 00:26:39.659
 sinned

00:26:39.659 --> 00:26:41.219
 the two

00:26:41.219 --> 00:26:41.559
 things

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:42.179
 they

00:26:42.179 --> 00:26:43.519
 didn't

00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:43.779
 have a

00:26:43.779 --> 00:26:44.000
 sinful

00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:44.539
 condition

00:26:44.539 --> 00:26:45.439
 and they

00:26:45.439 --> 00:26:45.679
 didn't

00:26:45.679 --> 00:26:45.979
 practice

00:26:45.979 --> 00:26:46.219
 sin

00:26:46.219 --> 00:26:46.740
 every day

00:26:46.740 --> 00:26:48.539
 total

00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:49.299
 confusion

00:26:49.299 --> 00:26:50.819
 about the

00:26:50.819 --> 00:26:51.259
 thing that's

00:26:51.259 --> 00:26:51.539
 at the

00:26:51.539 --> 00:26:52.139
 center of

00:26:52.139 --> 00:26:52.679
 the

00:26:52.679 --> 00:26:53.500
 breakdown

00:26:53.500 --> 00:26:53.959
 of their

00:26:53.959 --> 00:26:54.459
 relationship

00:26:54.459 --> 00:26:55.019
 with God

00:26:55.019 --> 00:26:57.199
 and that's

00:26:57.199 --> 00:26:57.479
 where we

00:26:57.479 --> 00:26:57.839
 can be

00:26:57.839 --> 00:26:58.059
 today

00:26:58.059 --> 00:26:58.779
 they were

00:26:58.779 --> 00:26:59.159
 here

00:26:59.159 --> 00:27:00.099
 as part

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:00.659
 of the

00:27:00.659 --> 00:27:01.039
 Christian

00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:01.639
 community

00:27:01.639 --> 00:27:02.319
 that John

00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:02.839
 was writing

00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:03.099
 to

00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:04.819
 and despite

00:27:04.819 --> 00:27:05.599
 being part

00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:05.819
 of the

00:27:05.819 --> 00:27:06.059
 Christian

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:06.659
 community

00:27:06.659 --> 00:27:07.959
 have an

00:27:07.959 --> 00:27:08.959
 understanding

00:27:08.959 --> 00:27:09.299
 of the

00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:09.759
 word of

00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:09.980
 God

00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:11.079
 despite all

00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:11.399
 of that

00:27:11.399 --> 00:27:12.079
 they were

00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:12.699
 confused

00:27:12.699 --> 00:27:13.379
 about their

00:27:13.379 --> 00:27:13.839
 status

00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:14.599
 and they

00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:15.199
 were confused

00:27:15.199 --> 00:27:15.699
 about their

00:27:15.699 --> 00:27:16.159
 practice

00:27:16.159 --> 00:27:16.719
 as sinners

00:27:16.719 --> 00:27:19.480
 and it

00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:20.919
 is a

00:27:20.919 --> 00:27:21.240
 fearful

00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:21.759
 thing

00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:23.079
 that you

00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:23.519
 can be

00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:24.099
 here today

00:27:24.099 --> 00:27:25.399
 and be

00:27:25.399 --> 00:27:25.799
 equally

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.480
 confused

00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:28.480
 unmoved

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:28.959
 by the

00:27:28.959 --> 00:27:29.500
 very mention

00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:29.879
 that you

00:27:29.879 --> 00:27:30.199
 are a

00:27:30.199 --> 00:27:30.459
 sinner

00:27:30.460 --> 00:27:31.759
 unmoved

00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:32.019
 by the

00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:32.519
 very mention

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:32.960
 that you

00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:33.360
 sin

00:27:33.360 --> 00:27:34.120
 in thought

00:27:34.120 --> 00:27:34.420
 word

00:27:34.420 --> 00:27:34.720
 and in

00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:34.960
 deed

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:37.779
 confused

00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:38.400
 into

00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:39.360
 the sense

00:27:39.360 --> 00:27:39.779
 of

00:27:39.779 --> 00:27:40.940
 dismissing

00:27:40.940 --> 00:27:42.299
 and going

00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:42.579
 to

00:27:42.579 --> 00:27:44.019
 as far

00:27:44.019 --> 00:27:44.299
 as

00:27:44.299 --> 00:27:45.140
 making

00:27:45.140 --> 00:27:45.660
 God

00:27:45.660 --> 00:27:47.059
 a liar

00:27:47.059 --> 00:27:49.539
 it's not

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:50.460
 a means

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:50.720
 of

00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:51.880
 sitting

00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:52.140
 on the

00:27:52.140 --> 00:27:52.400
 fence

00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:52.779
 or being

00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:53.259
 neutral

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:54.799
 when I

00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:55.039
 don't

00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:55.440
 recognize

00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:55.680
 my

00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:56.400
 sinnership

00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:57.319
 when I

00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:57.480
 don't

00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:57.920
 recognize

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.340
 that I

00:27:58.340 --> 00:27:59.220
 sin

00:27:59.220 --> 00:28:01.160
 I

00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:01.279
 am

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:01.759
 saying

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:02.880
 that

00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:03.180
 God

00:28:03.180 --> 00:28:03.400
 is

00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:03.680
 a

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:03.980
 liar

00:28:03.980 --> 00:28:05.460
 and

00:28:05.460 --> 00:28:05.660
 that's

00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:05.860
 a

00:28:05.860 --> 00:28:06.220
 serious

00:28:06.220 --> 00:28:06.680
 matter

00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:07.920
 that I

00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:08.140
 can

00:28:08.140 --> 00:28:08.380
 live

00:28:08.380 --> 00:28:08.600
 my

00:28:08.600 --> 00:28:08.960
 life

00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:09.759
 that

00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:10.880
 everything

00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:11.279
 that I

00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:11.600
 do

00:28:11.600 --> 00:28:12.120
 and

00:28:12.120 --> 00:28:12.640
 practice

00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:12.940
 every

00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:13.220
 day

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:13.519
 of my

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:13.759
 life

00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:14.460
 that it

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:15.059
 speaks

00:28:15.059 --> 00:28:15.500
 out

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:16.200
 against

00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:16.640
 God

00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:17.240
 that it

00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:17.519
 says

00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:17.960
 that God

00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:18.259
 is a

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:18.460
 liar

00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:18.940
 because

00:28:18.940 --> 00:28:20.059
 I

00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:20.500
 fail

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:20.779
 to

00:28:20.779 --> 00:28:21.559
 conform

00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:23.680
 what

00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:24.079
 is the

00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:24.559
 prescription

00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:27.059
 in

00:28:27.059 --> 00:28:27.259
 verse

00:28:27.259 --> 00:28:27.500
 number

00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:27.879
 nine

00:28:27.879 --> 00:28:29.799
 if we

00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:31.099
 confess

00:28:31.099 --> 00:28:32.960
 our

00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:33.339
 sins

00:28:33.339 --> 00:28:34.740
 he is

00:28:34.740 --> 00:28:35.440
 faithful

00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:36.539
 and just

00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:37.119
 to forgive

00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:37.519
 us our

00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:37.839
 sins

00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:38.679
 and to

00:28:38.679 --> 00:28:38.980
 cleanse

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:39.259
 us

00:28:39.259 --> 00:28:39.940
 from all

00:28:39.940 --> 00:28:40.919
 unrighteousness

00:28:40.919 --> 00:28:43.039
 if we

00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:43.940
 confess

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:44.940
 our

00:28:44.940 --> 00:28:45.299
 sins

00:28:45.299 --> 00:28:48.200
 to put

00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:48.819
 it simply

00:28:48.819 --> 00:28:50.279
 it is

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:50.779
 saying

00:28:50.779 --> 00:28:51.379
 the same

00:28:51.379 --> 00:28:51.819
 thing

00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:52.500
 about

00:28:52.500 --> 00:28:53.099
 something

00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:54.240
 as someone

00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:54.619
 else

00:28:54.619 --> 00:28:56.799
 it comes

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.379
 with that

00:28:57.379 --> 00:28:57.759
 sense

00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:58.539
 of agreement

00:28:58.539 --> 00:29:00.619
 and so

00:29:00.619 --> 00:29:01.199
 in the

00:29:01.199 --> 00:29:01.659
 context

00:29:01.659 --> 00:29:02.179
 here

00:29:02.179 --> 00:29:03.699
 it is

00:29:03.699 --> 00:29:04.019
 saying

00:29:04.019 --> 00:29:04.639
 something

00:29:04.639 --> 00:29:05.000
 about

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.240
 my

00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:05.699
 sin

00:29:05.699 --> 00:29:07.359
 that

00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:07.740
 someone

00:29:07.740 --> 00:29:08.079
 else

00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:08.419
 God

00:29:08.419 --> 00:29:08.699
 says

00:29:08.699 --> 00:29:08.980
 about

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.240
 my

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:09.519
 sin

00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:10.699
 and it

00:29:10.699 --> 00:29:11.039
 is

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.480
 with

00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:11.799
 regard

00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:12.079
 to

00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:12.719
 my

00:29:12.719 --> 00:29:12.899
 sin

00:29:12.899 --> 00:29:13.099
 there

00:29:13.099 --> 00:29:13.319
 is

00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:13.839
 an

00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:14.279
 agreement

00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:14.859
 between

00:29:14.859 --> 00:29:15.519
 what

00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:15.879
 God

00:29:15.879 --> 00:29:16.219
 says

00:29:16.219 --> 00:29:16.439
 and

00:29:16.439 --> 00:29:16.639
 what

00:29:16.639 --> 00:29:16.919
 I

00:29:16.919 --> 00:29:17.139
 say

00:29:17.139 --> 00:29:17.359
 with

00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:17.699
 regard

00:29:17.699 --> 00:29:17.879
 to

00:29:17.879 --> 00:29:18.099
 my

00:29:18.099 --> 00:29:18.319
 sin

00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:19.759
 and

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:20.439
 using

00:29:20.439 --> 00:29:20.779
 that

00:29:20.779 --> 00:29:21.379
 triangle

00:29:21.379 --> 00:29:21.579
 and

00:29:21.579 --> 00:29:21.740
 these

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:22.139
 points

00:29:22.139 --> 00:29:22.500
 on that

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:22.899
 triangle

00:29:22.900 --> 00:29:23.660
 that's

00:29:23.660 --> 00:29:23.840
 where

00:29:23.840 --> 00:29:24.080
 my

00:29:24.080 --> 00:29:24.600
 confession

00:29:24.600 --> 00:29:25.140
 comes

00:29:25.140 --> 00:29:26.480
 I

00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:26.800
 see

00:29:26.800 --> 00:29:27.120
 my

00:29:27.120 --> 00:29:27.460
 sin

00:29:27.460 --> 00:29:29.420
 and

00:29:29.420 --> 00:29:29.519
 I

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:29.759
 begin

00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:29.940
 to

00:29:29.940 --> 00:29:30.120
 see

00:29:30.120 --> 00:29:30.220
 it

00:29:30.220 --> 00:29:30.280
 the

00:29:30.280 --> 00:29:30.420
 way

00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:30.700
 God

00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:31.000
 sees

00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:31.120
 it

00:29:31.120 --> 00:29:31.280
 I'm

00:29:31.280 --> 00:29:31.500
 seeing

00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:31.680
 it

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.100
 through

00:29:32.100 --> 00:29:32.280
 the

00:29:32.280 --> 00:29:32.600
 eyes

00:29:32.600 --> 00:29:32.759
 of

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:33.000
 God

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:33.440
 because

00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:33.800
 of

00:29:33.800 --> 00:29:33.920
 the

00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:34.200
 word

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:34.360
 of

00:29:34.360 --> 00:29:34.600
 God

00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:34.740
 and

00:29:34.740 --> 00:29:35.040
 because

00:29:35.040 --> 00:29:35.200
 of

00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:35.340
 the

00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:35.600
 spirit

00:29:35.600 --> 00:29:35.800
 of

00:29:35.800 --> 00:29:36.100
 God

00:29:36.100 --> 00:29:36.980
 and

00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:37.200
 what

00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:37.600
 God

00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:38.040
 says

00:29:38.040 --> 00:29:38.220
 with

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:38.519
 regard

00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:38.680
 to

00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:38.860
 my

00:29:38.860 --> 00:29:39.060
 sin

00:29:39.060 --> 00:29:39.519
 that

00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:39.640
 it

00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:39.860
 is

00:29:39.860 --> 00:29:40.240
 worthy

00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:40.620
 of

00:29:40.620 --> 00:29:41.480
 eternal

00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:42.000
 punishment

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:42.560
 then

00:29:42.560 --> 00:29:42.780
 I

00:29:42.780 --> 00:29:43.200
 agree

00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:43.480
 with

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:43.680
 that

00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:43.840
 I

00:29:43.840 --> 00:29:44.200
 say

00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:44.420
 the

00:29:44.420 --> 00:29:44.680
 same

00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:44.980
 thing

00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:45.200
 as

00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:45.620
 God

00:29:45.620 --> 00:29:48.019
 and

00:29:48.019 --> 00:29:48.160
 in

00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:48.259
 the

00:29:48.259 --> 00:29:48.519
 whole

00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:49.180
 idea

00:29:49.180 --> 00:29:49.400
 of

00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:49.819
 confession

00:29:49.819 --> 00:29:50.819
 it

00:29:50.819 --> 00:29:51.079
 is

00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:51.660
 not

00:29:51.660 --> 00:29:52.059
 enough

00:29:52.059 --> 00:29:52.299
 to

00:29:52.299 --> 00:29:52.859
 think

00:29:52.859 --> 00:29:53.099
 the

00:29:53.099 --> 00:29:53.339
 same

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:53.579
 thing

00:29:53.579 --> 00:29:53.759
 as

00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:54.079
 God

00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:56.099
 because

00:29:56.099 --> 00:29:56.299
 the

00:29:56.299 --> 00:29:56.559
 very

00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:57.700
 heart

00:29:57.700 --> 00:29:57.879
 of

00:29:57.879 --> 00:29:58.500
 confession

00:29:58.500 --> 00:29:58.759
 and

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:58.900
 of

00:29:58.900 --> 00:29:59.099
 turning

00:29:59.099 --> 00:29:59.319
 away

00:29:59.319 --> 00:29:59.460
 from

00:29:59.460 --> 00:29:59.639
 my

00:29:59.639 --> 00:29:59.819
 sin

00:29:59.819 --> 00:30:00.400
 is

00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:00.599
 to

00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:01.559
 verbalize

00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:02.519
 what

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:02.680
 I

00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:02.920
 think

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:03.079
 of

00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:03.299
 my

00:30:03.299 --> 00:30:03.579
 sin

00:30:03.579 --> 00:30:04.980
 and

00:30:04.980 --> 00:30:05.119
 to

00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:05.440
 take

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:05.579
 what

00:30:05.579 --> 00:30:05.720
 I

00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:06.000
 think

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:06.160
 of

00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:06.299
 it

00:30:06.299 --> 00:30:06.660
 in

00:30:06.660 --> 00:30:06.759
 the

00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:06.940
 light

00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:07.059
 of

00:30:07.059 --> 00:30:07.180
 what

00:30:07.180 --> 00:30:07.440
 God

00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:07.579
 has

00:30:07.579 --> 00:30:07.759
 said

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:08.200
 and

00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:08.379
 to

00:30:08.379 --> 00:30:08.980
 say

00:30:08.980 --> 00:30:09.200
 the

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:09.740
 words

00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:10.639
 over

00:30:10.639 --> 00:30:10.859
 to

00:30:10.859 --> 00:30:11.039
 my

00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:11.480
 God

00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:12.920
 because

00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:13.339
 God

00:30:13.339 --> 00:30:13.559
 wants

00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:13.759
 to

00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:14.220
 hear

00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:14.500
 me

00:30:14.500 --> 00:30:15.799
 verbalizing

00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:16.139
 my

00:30:16.139 --> 00:30:17.359
 changed

00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:17.900
 attitude

00:30:17.900 --> 00:30:18.160
 to

00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:18.380
 my

00:30:18.380 --> 00:30:18.660
 sin

00:30:18.660 --> 00:30:21.200
 and

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:21.420
 when

00:30:21.420 --> 00:30:21.779
 I

00:30:21.779 --> 00:30:22.040
 do

00:30:22.040 --> 00:30:22.400
 that

00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:25.420
 God

00:30:25.420 --> 00:30:25.740
 is

00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:26.779
 pleased

00:30:26.779 --> 00:30:29.259
 God

00:30:29.259 --> 00:30:30.540
 promises

00:30:30.540 --> 00:30:31.000
 to

00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:32.820
 forgive

00:30:32.820 --> 00:30:33.220
 my

00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:33.519
 sin

00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:35.540
 to

00:30:35.540 --> 00:30:35.940
 carry

00:30:35.940 --> 00:30:36.240
 away

00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:36.440
 the

00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:36.820
 guilt

00:30:36.820 --> 00:30:37.620
 to

00:30:37.620 --> 00:30:37.980
 remove

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:38.200
 the

00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:38.680
 burden

00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:40.240
 that

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:41.200
 David

00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:41.460
 had

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:41.660
 in

00:30:41.660 --> 00:30:41.920
 Psalm

00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:42.360
 32

00:30:42.360 --> 00:30:42.600
 which

00:30:42.600 --> 00:30:42.720
 we're

00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:42.920
 going to

00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:43.120
 sing

00:30:43.120 --> 00:30:43.540
 shortly

00:30:43.540 --> 00:30:44.300
 the

00:30:44.300 --> 00:30:44.640
 burden

00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:44.980
 that he

00:30:44.980 --> 00:30:45.160
 had

00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:45.540
 because

00:30:45.540 --> 00:30:45.779
 the

00:30:45.779 --> 00:30:46.100
 hand

00:30:46.100 --> 00:30:46.240
 of

00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:46.460
 God

00:30:46.460 --> 00:30:46.700
 was

00:30:46.700 --> 00:30:47.480
 heavy

00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:48.019
 upon

00:30:48.019 --> 00:30:48.480
 him

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:50.180
 and

00:30:50.180 --> 00:30:50.380
 he

00:30:50.380 --> 00:30:50.620
 went

00:30:50.620 --> 00:30:50.880
 on

00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:51.819
 to

00:30:51.819 --> 00:30:52.140
 lay

00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:52.559
 bare

00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:52.839
 his

00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:53.160
 sins

00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:53.579
 before

00:30:53.579 --> 00:30:54.039
 God

00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:55.539
 he

00:30:55.539 --> 00:30:55.759
 went

00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:55.940
 on

00:30:55.940 --> 00:30:56.099
 to

00:30:56.099 --> 00:30:56.400
 speak

00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:56.640
 of

00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:57.519
 the

00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:57.900
 guilt

00:30:57.900 --> 00:30:58.160
 that

00:30:58.160 --> 00:30:58.380
 lay

00:30:58.380 --> 00:30:58.779
 within

00:30:58.779 --> 00:30:59.240
 him

00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:00.519
 being

00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:00.940
 carried

00:31:00.940 --> 00:31:01.380
 away

00:31:01.380 --> 00:31:04.360
 and

00:31:04.360 --> 00:31:04.900
 that's

00:31:04.900 --> 00:31:06.599
 the

00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:07.019
 center

00:31:07.019 --> 00:31:07.400
 the

00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:09.019
 heartbeat

00:31:09.019 --> 00:31:10.500
 of my

00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:11.059
 relationship

00:31:11.059 --> 00:31:11.339
 with

00:31:11.339 --> 00:31:11.759
 God

00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:13.640
 that it's

00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:14.380
 concerning

00:31:14.380 --> 00:31:14.680
 my

00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:15.040

00:31:15.040 --> 00:31:16.720
 that I

00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:17.600
 confess

00:31:17.600 --> 00:31:17.900
 my

00:31:17.900 --> 00:31:18.120
 sin

00:31:18.120 --> 00:31:18.260
 to

00:31:18.260 --> 00:31:18.440
 God

00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:18.780
 say

00:31:18.780 --> 00:31:19.000
 the

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:19.200
 same

00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:19.520
 thing

00:31:19.520 --> 00:31:20.460
 about

00:31:20.460 --> 00:31:20.700
 my

00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:20.960

00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:21.300
 as

00:31:21.300 --> 00:31:21.800
 God

00:31:21.800 --> 00:31:22.500
 does

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:24.600
 see

00:31:24.600 --> 00:31:24.840
 what

00:31:24.840 --> 00:31:25.080

00:31:25.080 --> 00:31:25.420
 says

00:31:25.420 --> 00:31:25.680
 about

00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:25.900
 my

00:31:25.900 --> 00:31:26.220
 sin

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:27.100
 with

00:31:27.100 --> 00:31:27.420
 regard

00:31:27.420 --> 00:31:27.620
 to

00:31:27.620 --> 00:31:27.800
 its

00:31:27.800 --> 00:31:28.500
 condemnation

00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:29.160
 and

00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:29.540
 see

00:31:29.540 --> 00:31:29.840
 what

00:31:29.840 --> 00:31:30.160
 God

00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:30.580

00:31:30.580 --> 00:31:30.860
 about

 my

00:31:31.120 --> 00:31:31.380
 sin

00:31:31.380 --> 00:31:32.120
 with

00:31:32.540 --> 00:31:32.800
 to

00:31:32.800 --> 00:31:33.040
 the

00:31:33.040 --> 00:31:33.440
 cross

00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:33.680
 of

00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:34.000
 Jesus

00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:36.120
 and

00:31:36.120 --> 00:31:36.340
 when

00:31:36.340 --> 00:31:36.580
 I

00:31:36.580 --> 00:31:37.000
 see

00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:38.380
 both

00:31:38.380 --> 00:31:38.600
 these

00:31:38.600 --> 00:31:38.860
 things

00:31:38.859 --> 00:31:39.459
 and

 these

00:31:40.219 --> 00:31:40.619
 things

00:31:40.619 --> 00:31:42.199
 then

00:31:42.199 --> 00:31:42.719
 God

00:31:42.719 --> 00:31:43.799
 in

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:44.099
 his

00:31:44.099 --> 00:31:44.579
 grace

00:31:44.579 --> 00:31:45.740
 and

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:47.359
 consistent

00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:47.879
 with

00:31:47.879 --> 00:31:48.079
 his

00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:48.699
 character

00:31:48.699 --> 00:31:50.079
 he

00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:50.439
 takes

00:31:50.439 --> 00:31:51.059
 my

00:31:51.059 --> 00:31:51.399
 sin

00:31:51.399 --> 00:31:52.679
 away

00:31:52.679 --> 00:31:54.579
 and

00:31:54.579 --> 00:31:54.839
 today

00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:55.179
 as

00:31:55.179 --> 00:31:55.459
 we

00:31:55.459 --> 00:31:55.859
 close

00:31:55.859 --> 00:31:57.000
 and

00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:57.199
 we

00:31:57.199 --> 00:31:57.759
 leave

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:58.079
 this

00:31:58.079 --> 00:31:58.679
 building

00:31:58.679 --> 00:32:00.759
 let's

00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:00.979
 think

00:32:00.979 --> 00:32:01.139
 of

00:32:01.139 --> 00:32:01.359
 this

00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:02.159
 prescription

00:32:02.159 --> 00:32:03.899
 and

00:32:03.899 --> 00:32:04.219
 let's

00:32:04.219 --> 00:32:04.500
 think

00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:04.759
 of

00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:05.419
 not

00:32:05.419 --> 00:32:05.899
 just

00:32:05.899 --> 00:32:06.299
 leaving

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:06.479
 a

00:32:06.479 --> 00:32:06.919
 building

00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:08.740
 but

00:32:08.740 --> 00:32:09.060
 let's

00:32:09.060 --> 00:32:09.300
 think

00:32:09.300 --> 00:32:09.539
 of

00:32:09.539 --> 00:32:10.220
 leaving

00:32:10.220 --> 00:32:10.580
 our

00:32:10.580 --> 00:32:11.019
 sin

00:32:11.019 --> 00:32:11.580
 behind

00:32:11.580 --> 00:32:13.039
 because

00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:13.640
 God

00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:13.880
 has

00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:14.160
 taken

00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:14.340
 it

00:32:14.340 --> 00:32:14.700
 away

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:16.240
 and

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:16.560
 let's

00:32:16.560 --> 00:32:17.259
 verbalize

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:17.519
 our

00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:18.960
 sense

00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:19.180
 of

00:32:19.180 --> 00:32:20.060
 sinnership

00:32:20.060 --> 00:32:20.560
 in a

00:32:20.560 --> 00:32:20.980
 heartfelt

00:32:20.980 --> 00:32:21.500
 way

00:32:21.500 --> 00:32:23.220
 so

00:32:23.220 --> 00:32:23.460
 that we

00:32:23.460 --> 00:32:23.600
 may

00:32:23.600 --> 00:32:23.880
 come

00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:24.140
 to

00:32:24.140 --> 00:32:24.740
 wonder

00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:26.000
 and

00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:26.160
 to

00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:26.420
 find

00:32:26.420 --> 00:32:26.940
 peace

00:32:26.940 --> 00:32:27.300
 and

00:32:27.300 --> 00:32:27.759
 joy

00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:28.759
 in

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:29.000
 having

00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:29.220
 our

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:30.220
 forgiven

00:32:30.220 --> 00:32:31.220
 there

00:32:31.220 --> 00:32:31.400
 is

00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:31.600
 no

00:32:31.600 --> 00:32:32.120
 greater

00:32:32.120 --> 00:32:32.660
 joy

00:32:32.660 --> 00:32:33.400
 than

00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:33.560
 to

 burden

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:34.880
 of

 guilt

00:32:35.080 --> 00:32:35.580
 taken

00:32:35.580 --> 00:32:36.019
 away

00:32:36.019 --> 00:32:37.480
 and

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:37.639
 to

00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:39.220
 with

00:32:39.220 --> 00:32:39.680
 God

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:41.059
 and

00:32:41.059 --> 00:32:41.220
 may

00:32:41.220 --> 00:32:41.440
 God

00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:41.759
 help

00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:41.960
 us

00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:42.279
 today

00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:42.539
 to

00:32:42.539 --> 00:32:43.279
 go

00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:43.740
 forward

00:32:43.740 --> 00:32:44.059
 with

00:32:44.059 --> 00:32:44.680
 the

00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:45.259
 perspective

00:32:45.259 --> 00:32:45.539
 of

00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:45.700
 the

00:32:45.700 --> 00:32:45.920
 fact

00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:46.099
 that

00:32:46.099 --> 00:32:46.200
 he

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:46.339
 is

00:32:46.339 --> 00:32:46.700
 light

00:32:46.700 --> 00:32:47.980
 on

00:32:47.980 --> 00:32:48.420
 regard

00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:48.920
 against

00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:49.599
 being

00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:50.139
 confused

00:32:50.139 --> 00:32:50.460
 about

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:50.740
 what

00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:51.019
 living

00:32:51.019 --> 00:32:51.200
 as

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:51.339
 a

00:32:51.339 --> 00:32:51.619
 Christian

00:32:51.619 --> 00:32:51.940
 might

00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:52.339
 mean

00:32:52.339 --> 00:32:54.019
 and

00:32:54.019 --> 00:32:54.220
 being

00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:54.359

00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:56.000
 confusion

00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:57.160
 about

 our

00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:00.500

 we

00:33:00.619 --> 00:33:00.720
 are

00:33:08.539 --> 00:33:09.559

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:11.259
 peace

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:11.660

 we

00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:11.980

 children

00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:13.180

00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:17.380
 going

00:33:17.380 --> 00:33:17.920
 may

00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:18.200
 God bless

00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:18.880
 let us

 pray

00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:20.920
 most

00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:21.360
 grace

00:33:21.360 --> 00:33:21.500
 God

00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:21.500


00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:21.500


00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:21.500


00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:21.500


00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:21.500


00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:21.940
 we

00:33:21.940 --> 00:33:22.420
 rejoice

00:33:22.420 --> 00:33:22.600
 in

00:33:22.600 --> 00:33:23.880
 every

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:24.100
 way

00:33:24.100 --> 00:33:24.160
 in

00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:24.340
 which

00:33:24.340 --> 00:33:24.519
 you

00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:25.039
 speak

00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:25.320
 into

00:33:25.320 --> 00:33:25.620
 our

00:33:25.620 --> 00:33:26.000
 lives

00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:26.900
 we

00:33:26.900 --> 00:33:27.000
 give

00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:27.259
 thanks

00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.400
 to

00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:27.539
 you

00:33:27.539 --> 00:33:27.660
 for

00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:27.820
 your

00:33:27.820 --> 00:33:28.200
 light

00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:28.940
 we

00:33:28.940 --> 00:33:29.060
 give

00:33:29.060 --> 00:33:29.340
 thanks

00:33:29.340 --> 00:33:29.500
 to

00:33:29.500 --> 00:33:29.600
 you

00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:29.800
 for

00:33:29.800 --> 00:33:29.960
 your

00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:30.240
 light

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:30.360
 and

00:33:30.360 --> 00:33:30.480
 the

00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:30.740
 person

00:33:30.740 --> 00:33:30.960
 of

00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:31.140
 your

00:33:31.140 --> 00:33:31.500
 son

00:33:31.500 --> 00:33:32.380
 give

00:33:32.380 --> 00:33:32.700
 thanks

00:33:32.700 --> 00:33:32.880
 to

00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:33.019
 you

00:33:33.019 --> 00:33:33.320
 for

00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:37.039
 the light that shines from the darkness of Calvary's cross

00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:41.539
 and help us today, O Lord God, to have the light of your truth

00:33:41.539 --> 00:33:45.419
 upon our hearts, the light of your spirit upon

00:33:45.419 --> 00:33:49.299
 the person of your Son as Savior and bring us to that place

00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:53.119
 where we embrace him and receive him and accept him

00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:57.379
 as our own personal Savior for today and for life and for

00:33:57.379 --> 00:34:01.500
 eternity. So hear our prayer and accept us for Jesus' sake. Amen.

00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:06.939
 So our closing psalm is

00:34:06.939 --> 00:34:10.059
 Psalm 32 and we're singing it in Sing Psalms.

00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:13.920
 It's on page 38

00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:19.380
 and the tune is Arlington. Psalm 32

00:34:19.380 --> 00:34:20.279
 at verse 1.

00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:24.779
 How blessed the one who has received

00:34:24.779 --> 00:34:29.099
 forgiveness for his sin, whose sins are covered from God's

00:34:29.099 --> 00:34:33.079
 face, whose debt is cancelled in God's grace, there's no

00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:36.699
 deceit in him. We stand to sing from verse 1 to verse

00:34:36.699 --> 00:34:37.980
 Mark 6 to God's praise.

00:34:37.980 --> 00:35:06.679
 How blessed the one who has received forgiveness for his sin, whose sins are covered from God's

00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:11.679
 from God's grace, whose death is cancelled in God's grace, there's no deceit in him.

00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:28.679
 When I kept silent all my bones, whose death is cancelled in God's grace, there's no deceit in him.

00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:30.679
 When I kept silent all my bones, with gold in God's grace, there's no doubt beneath your heart.

00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:32.679
 When I kept silent all my bones, with gold in God's grace, there's no doubt beneath your heart.

00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:37.679
 When I kept silent all my bones, with gold in God's grace, there's no doubt beneath your heart.

00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:44.679
 When I kept silent all my bones, with gold in God's grace, there's no doubt beneath your heart.

00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:51.679
 When I kept silent all my bones, with gold in God's grace, there's no doubt beneath your heart.

00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:52.679
 When I kept silent all my bones, with gold in God's grace, there's no doubt beneath your heart.

00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:52.679


00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:52.679


00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:52.679


00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:52.679


00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:52.679


00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:52.679


00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:52.679


00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:52.679


00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:52.679


00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:52.679


00:35:52.679 --> 00:36:08.679
 I felt in trouble, O day and night my strength was up,

00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:27.679
 As in the summertime, Then I lit bare my sin to you,

00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:35.679
 The guilt that lived within.

00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:45.679
 I said, O Lord, I have transgressed,

00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:55.679
 And you forgive when I confess,

00:36:55.679 --> 00:37:04.679
 You pardon all my sin.

00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:15.679
 So let the calling bring to you,

00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:23.679
 While you are to be found.

00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:34.679
 Surely when waves are sweeping past,

00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:44.679
 On mighty waters rising past,

00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:52.679
 You'll keep them safe as come.

00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:57.679
 So please allow me to go to the main door after the benediction.

00:37:57.679 --> 00:37:59.679
 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:03.679
 The love of God, the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,

00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:05.679
 Be with you all now and forevermore.

00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:06.679
 Amen.
