WEBVTT

00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:06.419
 Great. We're just going to take a time to just pray as a church a little more about,

00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:12.460
 we call this the pastoral prayer, just to really pray for the city, pray for the things that are

00:00:12.460 --> 00:00:19.179
 also on God's heart. And so even though I'll be leading us, you know, out loud, just feel free to

00:00:19.179 --> 00:00:24.300
 be praying in your own hearts, to amen to what I'm saying, to be praying under your own breath for

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:31.240
 what God is burdening you with. All right? So let's just take a time to really say, God,

00:00:31.339 --> 00:00:41.140
 we can't do any of this without you. All right? Let's pray. Father, we just confess our need for

00:00:41.140 --> 00:00:47.799
 you. And even this week, this morning, just the ease in which we are distracted, God, by

00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:53.640
 honestly trivial things at the end of the day, things that do it with our own comfort,

00:00:54.299 --> 00:01:02.339
 and our own pleasure, God. But this morning, we just want to come and look at you again, God.

00:01:02.379 --> 00:01:08.819
 What is on your heart? Who do you care about, God? And we know you love this world. You love the world

00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:15.979
 so much that you sent your son to die for it, God. And you love this city. And God, Lord, we just,

00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:25.579
 we just humble ourselves before you this morning and ask you to just change our city, God. We cry,

00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:31.680
 how long, oh Lord, until you come back in glory, God. But in the meantime, we know, Lord, that you are

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:38.980
 in the process of making something new in this city, God. So this morning, we pray over the divisions.

00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:46.800
 We pray over the hurts. We pray over the fear. We pray over the anger, God, that is gripping our city

00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:53.400
 right now. Lord, we pray over the elections that are happening as we speak right now. We pray for

00:01:53.400 --> 00:02:00.140
 every polling station. We pray for all the people who are serving and volunteering. We pray for every

00:02:00.140 --> 00:02:06.159
 candidate, God. No matter whether we agree with them or not, whether we're voting for them or not,

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:13.079
 we pray for them, God, because they were made in your image, Lord Jesus. We pray for everyone who

00:02:13.079 --> 00:02:20.000
 will be voting, God. Would you just keep them safe? We pray for the police, Lord, who will be watching

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:27.659
 over the polling stations. Would you guide them, Lord? Would you watch over them, God? Lord, we need you

00:02:27.659 --> 00:02:33.560
 in this time. We need you in all times, God. But right now, Lord, we just cry out to you on behalf

00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:43.460
 of our city, Lord. Lord, would this day just be a day where your people shine? Even as they vote,

00:02:43.539 --> 00:02:49.219
 as they talk to their friends, would they point them to the greatest hope that we have?

00:02:51.219 --> 00:03:00.740
 Eternity with you. Hope, joy, eternal joy. Adoption by the King of Kings. God, we give our city to you.

00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:09.379
 And Father, we also just continue to pray for all the marginalized. In this time of political and

00:03:09.379 --> 00:03:15.400
 social unrest, God, we also just, Lord, help us not to lose sight of those who are really just hidden,

00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:22.520
 the minorities, the ethnic minorities. We talked about some today, but there's also the Nepali community,

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.840
 the South Asian community in Hong Kong, the refugees and asylum seekers, Lord,

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:33.060
 those who are trapped in red light districts all over Hong Kong,

00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:41.199
 young single moms, teen moms who are just struggling to make ends meet and to take care of their

00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:47.920
 infants, God. We need you, Lord. We need you to open our eyes to them. And Lord, would you just watch

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:52.640
 over them? Would you continue to minister to them supernaturally? Would your Holy Spirit

00:03:52.639 --> 00:04:01.099
 just speak to them to know, to let them know that they are loved? They are known by their creator,

00:04:01.239 --> 00:04:09.959
 God. And Lord, use us as your people, as your hands and your feet to speak and to touch, Lord,

00:04:10.019 --> 00:04:19.839
 to hold onto those who are hurting and who are broken, God. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen.

00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.519
 We're going to invite the scripture readers to come up to do our scripture reading and lead us in that.

00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:38.179
 The scripture reading comes from Revelation and Deuteronomy. Please follow along in your bulletins

00:04:38.179 --> 00:04:42.759
 or on the screen. From Revelation 7, we read,

00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:55.360
 After this, I look and behold a great multitude that one could number from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages,

00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:04.120
 standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm bronzes in their hands,

00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:11.959
 and crying out with a loud voice, Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.

00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:19.379
 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures,

00:05:19.860 --> 00:05:29.399
 and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom

00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:37.219
 and thanksgiving and honor and power and might to be our God forever and ever. Amen.

00:05:38.139 --> 00:05:41.279
 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying,

00:05:42.159 --> 00:05:47.539
 Who are these clothes and white robes, and from where have they come?

00:05:48.099 --> 00:05:51.459
 I said to him, Sir, you know.

00:05:51.459 --> 00:05:58.799
 And he said to me, These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation.

00:05:59.299 --> 00:06:04.419
 They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

00:06:06.039 --> 00:06:09.039
 And from Deuteronomy 10, we read,

00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:18.099
 And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you but to fear the Lord your God,

00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:27.220
 to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:34.660
 and to keep the commandments and statues of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good.

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:41.720
 Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the heavens of heavens,

00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:45.400
 the earth with all that it is in it.

00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:52.399
 Yet the Lord set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them,

00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:56.759
 you above all peoples, as you are this day.

00:06:58.099 --> 00:07:03.219
 Circumcise, therefore, the four skins of your heart and be no longer stubborn.

00:07:03.899 --> 00:07:08.899
 For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords,

00:07:08.899 --> 00:07:16.179
 the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe.

00:07:16.899 --> 00:07:20.259
 He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow,

00:07:20.699 --> 00:07:24.399
 and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.

00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:30.039
 Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

00:07:30.699 --> 00:07:32.719
 You shall fear the Lord your God.

00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.739
 You shall serve him and hold fast to him,

00:07:35.740 --> 00:07:38.400
 and by his name you shall swear.

00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:40.500
 He is your praise.

00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:42.500
 He is your God,

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:48.759
 who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen.

00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:50.500
 This is the word of God.

00:07:51.960 --> 00:07:52.560
 Amen.

00:07:52.840 --> 00:07:53.780
 Thank you, Janet.

00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:55.360
 Thank you, Gary.

00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.960
 If you're new with us,

00:08:00.280 --> 00:08:03.400
 we've been going through as a church the book of Revelation,

00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:06.980
 and the closing book of the Bible,

00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:08.160
 and it's been quite a journey.

00:08:09.060 --> 00:08:10.040
 And I don't know if you've noticed,

00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:12.400
 I think one thing that you've,

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:14.040
 if you've been following the series with us,

00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:15.879
 the one thing that I think has kind of struck us,

00:08:15.980 --> 00:08:17.480
 and has surprised us,

00:08:17.900 --> 00:08:21.680
 is just how much of the book is actually about mission,

00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.900
 and evangelism,

00:08:24.420 --> 00:08:27.360
 and being a witness for the Lord Jesus.

00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:29.340
 We talked about martyrs,

00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:31.759
 and people just speaking for the Lord,

00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.560
 and prophesying on behalf of the Lord.

00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:37.039
 And another interesting aspect,

00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:37.620
 I think,

00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:38.680
 that we've been hitting,

00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.960
 is this vision of people from every nation,

00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:43.659
 and tribe,

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:44.299
 and tongue,

00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:45.740
 and language coming together.

00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:48.799
 And that's the passage from Revelation 7,

00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:49.539
 that we just read.

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:51.019
 That's one really good example,

00:08:51.019 --> 00:08:52.639
 of this idea,

00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:53.980
 over and over in Revelation,

00:08:53.980 --> 00:08:56.720
 we see this idea of people,

00:08:56.940 --> 00:08:59.200
 uniting around,

00:08:59.680 --> 00:09:00.539
 worshiping God.

00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:01.919
 And it's a beautiful image,

00:09:02.019 --> 00:09:02.440
 isn't it?

00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.580
 Because we all know the racism,

00:09:06.180 --> 00:09:08.180
 and the division that's just racking,

00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:09.480
 not even just Hong Kong,

00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:10.919
 but across the world.

00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.120
 And here God is saying in Revelation,

00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:15.060
 that actually,

00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:17.179
 that's not the last word.

00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.639
 History is actually moving in the direction,

00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.379
 and that one day,

00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:25.179
 everybody,

00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:25.960
 every tribe,

00:09:26.060 --> 00:09:26.519
 every tongue,

00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:27.480
 all of God's people,

00:09:27.560 --> 00:09:30.419
 no matter what your socioeconomic background is,

00:09:30.460 --> 00:09:31.600
 no matter what your language is,

00:09:31.659 --> 00:09:33.080
 no matter what your history is,

00:09:33.659 --> 00:09:36.299
 that for those who call on Jesus' name,

00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:37.120
 who worship Him,

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:38.460
 everyone will be united

00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:40.899
 around the throne of God.

00:09:40.899 --> 00:09:45.079
 So this is kind of just to show you that

00:09:45.079 --> 00:09:47.279
 Revelation is kind of our framework.

00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:48.279
 And even though today,

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.039
 we're not going to be focusing specifically

00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.220
 on Revelation as our base text,

00:09:55.079 --> 00:09:56.720
 that we're going to see throughout

00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.360
 entire history of the Bible,

00:09:58.860 --> 00:10:00.439
 that this doesn't just kind of happen

00:10:00.439 --> 00:10:01.299
 out of the blue.

00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:02.840
 It's not just like one day,

00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:03.959
 God wakes up and thinks,

00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:04.100
 oh,

00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:06.620
 it's a good idea for me to unite all peoples,

00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:08.740
 and for me to eliminate racism.

00:10:08.740 --> 00:10:10.080
 But actually,

00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:11.620
 when we look at the Bible,

00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.000
 all throughout history,

00:10:13.659 --> 00:10:16.240
 God is a God who has loved all nations

00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.200
 and all tongues and all tribes and languages.

00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:21.379
 And He's always wanted His people

00:10:21.379 --> 00:10:23.419
 to reflect that as well.

00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:27.060
 And so when we get to today's main passage

00:10:27.060 --> 00:10:27.919
 in Deuteronomy,

00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:31.220
 it's one of the foundational books of the Bible.

00:10:31.299 --> 00:10:33.879
 It's one of the earliest books of the Bible, right?

00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.519
 And we go back to the very establishment

00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.939
 of the people of Israel.

00:10:40.939 --> 00:10:42.879
 And so you have the leader, Moses.

00:10:43.179 --> 00:10:44.779
 I think a lot of us know the story.

00:10:44.939 --> 00:10:47.939
 So he's been raised up to lead the people

00:10:47.939 --> 00:10:50.399
 out of captivity into Egypt.

00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.720
 And now Moses is at the end of his journey,

00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:55.240
 at the end of his ministry.

00:10:55.659 --> 00:10:59.899
 And he's basically giving a final sort of exhortation,

00:10:59.980 --> 00:11:01.580
 a final call to the people.

00:11:01.580 --> 00:11:04.360
 And this is what Deuteronomy is really all about.

00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:07.379
 And so he's kind of just recapping,

00:11:07.680 --> 00:11:10.540
 giving a summary of all that God has done.

00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:12.840
 He's chosen you.

00:11:13.160 --> 00:11:15.980
 He's taken you out of captivity in Egypt.

00:11:16.379 --> 00:11:19.780
 He's performed these terrifying signs and wonders,

00:11:20.020 --> 00:11:21.420
 you know, parting the Red Sea,

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.100
 defeating the Egyptians.

00:11:23.800 --> 00:11:26.820
 He's brought you faithfully through the wilderness.

00:11:26.820 --> 00:11:30.720
 And now you are at the cusp of the promised land.

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:31.379
 And so he's been raised up to you.

00:11:31.820 --> 00:11:34.200
 Now you're ready to step in.

00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.200
 And so when we get to this chapter,

00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:39.620
 chapter 10 that we just read,

00:11:39.680 --> 00:11:41.080
 this is all kind of wrapped up

00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.860
 and summarized so beautifully.

00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.060
 Just read with me again verse 14.

00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:48.940
 It says,

00:11:49.220 --> 00:11:51.620
 Behold, to the Lord your God

00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:54.259
 belong heaven and the heaven of heavens,

00:11:54.940 --> 00:11:56.980
 the earth with all that is in it.

00:11:57.379 --> 00:11:58.640
 This description of God,

00:11:58.800 --> 00:12:00.080
 he is the creator.

00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:04.280
 Everything, the cosmos, the universe belongs to him.

00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:10.860
 Yet, the Lord set his heart in love on your fathers

00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:13.500
 and chose their offspring after them,

00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:14.860
 you above all peoples,

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.519
 as you are this day.

00:12:18.659 --> 00:12:21.059
 And let's just fast forward to verse 17.

00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:25.439
 We get this magnificent description of God.

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:26.620
 It says,

00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:29.360
 For the Lord your God is God of gods

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:31.280
 and Lord of lords,

00:12:32.020 --> 00:12:35.000
 the great, the mighty, the awesome God

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.340
 who is not partial and takes no bribe.

00:12:38.340 --> 00:12:40.600
 And so you see,

00:12:40.680 --> 00:12:42.320
 this is kind of God's calling card.

00:12:42.420 --> 00:12:43.620
 This is him describing,

00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:46.000
 he is the ultimate creator of the universe.

00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:49.120
 He is just and fair and mighty and awesome.

00:12:49.860 --> 00:12:51.680
 And yet he has chosen

00:12:51.680 --> 00:12:57.540
 this little insignificant people group

00:12:57.540 --> 00:12:59.000
 in the ancient Near East

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.519
 to be his treasured possession.

00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.500
 And Israel hasn't done anything

00:13:05.500 --> 00:13:07.659
 to deserve this favor.

00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:11.960
 It was simply grace of God.

00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:13.740
 And you see,

00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.139
 that grace isn't just a New Testament idea.

00:13:16.659 --> 00:13:18.699
 It's something that just runs through

00:13:18.699 --> 00:13:20.579
 from the beginning to the end.

00:13:21.579 --> 00:13:22.000
 You know,

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:24.519
 it's like a couple that adopts a child,

00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:25.600
 an infant,

00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.700
 and what has the infant done

00:13:27.700 --> 00:13:29.100
 to deserve being adopted?

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:30.100
 What did they do

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:32.159
 to be so qualified?

00:13:32.920 --> 00:13:33.519
 Nothing, right?

00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:35.639
 They chose,

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.159
 the parents chose

00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:38.480
 to adopt them.

00:13:39.100 --> 00:13:40.320
 The kid didn't earn anything.

00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:43.620
 And so maybe it makes sense

00:13:43.620 --> 00:13:45.680
 why God would remind the people

00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:47.159
 of his greatness

00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:48.820
 and all he's done for him

00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:50.740
 because God isn't just a loving,

00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:52.000
 you know,

00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:53.779
 parent that adopts an orphan,

00:13:53.779 --> 00:13:55.200
 but God is the creator

00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:56.360
 of the cosmos.

00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.320
 And he knows what is best

00:13:58.320 --> 00:13:58.920
 for the people

00:13:58.920 --> 00:14:00.540
 is for them to recognize that

00:14:00.540 --> 00:14:02.000
 and to worship him.

00:14:03.460 --> 00:14:04.820
 But here's where it gets a little,

00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:06.879
 well, it's been interesting so far,

00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:07.780
 but this is where it gets

00:14:07.780 --> 00:14:08.840
 more interesting, I think.

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.900
 Because immediately after verse 17,

00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:13.220
 we get to verse 18,

00:14:13.640 --> 00:14:14.900
 and it says this,

00:14:15.640 --> 00:14:17.800
 God executes justice

00:14:17.800 --> 00:14:19.780
 for the fatherless

00:14:19.780 --> 00:14:21.280
 and the widow,

00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:24.120
 and he loves the sojourner,

00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:25.259
 giving him food

00:14:25.259 --> 00:14:26.200
 and clothing.

00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:28.659
 And after all this

00:14:28.659 --> 00:14:30.060
 majestic language

00:14:30.060 --> 00:14:31.600
 about God's awesomeness

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.159
 and him being the creator

00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:34.919
 and how he's chose you,

00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:35.600
 Israel,

00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:37.279
 to be his treasured possession,

00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:39.679
 he kind of just talks

00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:42.220
 about his sort of particular care

00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:43.980
 for a few types of people.

00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:46.539
 And I think that's cause for us

00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:48.460
 to take us to maybe pause here

00:14:48.460 --> 00:14:49.399
 because maybe

00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.500
 this is important to God.

00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:54.019
 And when you read through

00:14:54.019 --> 00:14:55.080
 the entire Bible,

00:14:55.980 --> 00:14:57.220
 you'll actually realize

00:14:57.220 --> 00:14:58.299
 that this isn't

00:14:58.299 --> 00:15:00.019
 sort of a one-off anomaly.

00:15:00.899 --> 00:15:02.080
 Deuteronomy 10.18

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.019
 is not an isolated incident,

00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:06.200
 and these three groups of people

00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:07.019
 are mentioned

00:15:07.019 --> 00:15:09.399
 over and over and over again.

00:15:10.460 --> 00:15:12.379
 It talks about the widow,

00:15:13.019 --> 00:15:13.899
 the fatherless,

00:15:14.059 --> 00:15:14.759
 the sojourner,

00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:15.539
 and also those

00:15:15.539 --> 00:15:16.720
 who are generally poor.

00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.379
 And I think most of us

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:19.019
 can imagine,

00:15:19.259 --> 00:15:20.399
 I think instinctively,

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.720
 okay, I can understand

00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:24.299
 maybe why widows and orphans,

00:15:24.299 --> 00:15:26.019
 they deserve special attention.

00:15:26.259 --> 00:15:28.199
 But what about sojourners?

00:15:28.899 --> 00:15:29.740
 What's that all about?

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.659
 I don't even use that word ever.

00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:34.120
 When's the last time

00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.240
 you said sojourner

00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.019
 before today, right?

00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:38.519
 I didn't even really know

00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:39.120
 what it meant

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.000
 until I looked it up

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:40.620
 in the dictionary.

00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:43.659
 And so what is it?

00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:44.319
 So we're going to spend

00:15:44.319 --> 00:15:45.199
 the rest of this time

00:15:45.199 --> 00:15:46.279
 really zeroing in

00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:47.279
 on this word

00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:50.740
 because if Deuteronomy 10.18

00:15:50.740 --> 00:15:52.620
 is really what it says,

00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:53.939
 then we need to know

00:15:53.939 --> 00:15:55.539
 what a sojourner is.

00:15:55.959 --> 00:15:56.879
 We need to know

00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:58.199
 why this is close

00:15:58.199 --> 00:15:59.019
 to God's heart

00:15:59.019 --> 00:16:00.379
 and what it has to do

00:16:00.379 --> 00:16:02.019
 with you and me today.

00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:05.259
 So let's dig in

00:16:05.259 --> 00:16:05.939
 a little deeper

00:16:05.939 --> 00:16:06.939
 on this idea.

00:16:07.579 --> 00:16:09.059
 So in ancient times,

00:16:09.319 --> 00:16:10.279
 a sojourner was basically

00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:12.399
 someone who lived

00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:13.339
 in a different nation.

00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:14.940
 And you can think

00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:15.700
 of a sojourner

00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:16.500
 as someone

00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:18.120
 who's a non-citizen.

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:19.620
 So someone without

00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:20.899
 the full rights,

00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:22.180
 the full standing

00:16:22.180 --> 00:16:23.680
 that a citizen

00:16:23.680 --> 00:16:25.200
 of a nation would have.

00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:27.860
 But in the ancient Near East,

00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:29.060
 more or less,

00:16:29.180 --> 00:16:30.920
 nations were pretty much

00:16:30.920 --> 00:16:33.200
 consolidated on ethnic groups.

00:16:33.860 --> 00:16:36.080
 So if you were a sojourner,

00:16:36.180 --> 00:16:38.180
 you were very much a foreigner.

00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:38.480
 You know,

00:16:38.500 --> 00:16:39.259
 it's not like

00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:40.560
 an immigrant country

00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:41.259
 like Canada

00:16:41.259 --> 00:16:41.759
 where it's like

00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:42.900
 a melting pot of nations

00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:44.860
 and ethnicities already.

00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:47.319
 And so if that's the case,

00:16:47.439 --> 00:16:49.120
 if you're so foreign,

00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:50.419
 why would a sojourner

00:16:50.419 --> 00:16:51.179
 be a sojourner?

00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:52.100
 Why would you go there?

00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.419
 And I think you can imagine

00:16:53.419 --> 00:16:54.620
 there are a bunch of reasons.

00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.120
 They could be escaping

00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:58.100
 war and famine.

00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:00.120
 Maybe some of them

00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:01.059
 were just drawn

00:17:01.059 --> 00:17:02.179
 to the people of Israel.

00:17:02.299 --> 00:17:02.959
 They were drawn

00:17:02.959 --> 00:17:04.879
 to the God of Israel.

00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:07.879
 But you can perhaps imagine

00:17:07.879 --> 00:17:09.339
 if you're just a sojourner

00:17:09.339 --> 00:17:10.460
 in this foreign land

00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:11.240
 with people who are

00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:12.400
 so different from you,

00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.120
 how sort of ostracized

00:17:14.120 --> 00:17:14.800
 you might feel,

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:15.680
 how different

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:16.820
 you might feel.

00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:17.700
 Some of you guys

00:17:17.700 --> 00:17:19.480
 perhaps have experienced

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:20.380
 a bit of that already.

00:17:22.660 --> 00:17:24.700
 But it's not only that.

00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:25.980
 Because more importantly,

00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.140
 as a sojourner

00:17:27.140 --> 00:17:28.120
 in biblical times,

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:29.820
 you would be very vulnerable

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:31.820
 from an economic standpoint.

00:17:32.500 --> 00:17:33.000
 So it's not just

00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:34.060
 the social things.

00:17:34.360 --> 00:17:35.340
 It's not just

00:17:35.340 --> 00:17:36.180
 your cultural

00:17:36.180 --> 00:17:37.320
 sort of comfort.

00:17:37.540 --> 00:17:38.480
 But as in,

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:39.759
 from a financial

00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:40.820
 and economic standpoint,

00:17:40.819 --> 00:17:41.779
 you would be vulnerable.

00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:43.539
 Because as a sojourner

00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:45.559
 in these ancient times,

00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:46.339
 you would have

00:17:46.339 --> 00:17:47.720
 no land rights.

00:17:48.679 --> 00:17:49.700
 And that's important

00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:52.639
 because in an agrarian society,

00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:54.579
 land is food.

00:17:55.299 --> 00:17:56.759
 And food is your livelihood.

00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:57.419
 Right?

00:17:57.539 --> 00:17:58.539
 Food is your life.

00:17:59.639 --> 00:18:00.879
 And so maybe you can see

00:18:00.879 --> 00:18:02.319
 why also the same thing

00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.079
 applied to widows

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:05.559
 and the fatherless.

00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:07.339
 Because the land rights

00:18:07.339 --> 00:18:08.019
 were attached

00:18:08.019 --> 00:18:09.339
 to the father,

00:18:09.539 --> 00:18:10.339
 to the husband.

00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:11.679
 If the father died

00:18:11.679 --> 00:18:12.940
 and you had a widower

00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:14.099
 and you had the fatherless,

00:18:14.259 --> 00:18:15.460
 they would lose

00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:16.639
 their livelihood.

00:18:16.899 --> 00:18:17.639
 They would lose

00:18:17.639 --> 00:18:18.779
 their right to the land

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:19.720
 in that culture.

00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:21.399
 So the point

00:18:21.399 --> 00:18:22.359
 I'm trying to make here

00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:23.480
 is that God

00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:24.200
 didn't just kind of

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:25.259
 pick three random

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:26.460
 categories of people.

00:18:27.059 --> 00:18:28.480
 It's that in this society,

00:18:28.940 --> 00:18:30.279
 there was very specific

00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:31.139
 reasons

00:18:31.139 --> 00:18:32.759
 why he wants

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.859
 to execute justice

00:18:33.859 --> 00:18:34.919
 for the fatherless

00:18:34.919 --> 00:18:37.319
 and why he loves

00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:37.779
 the widow

00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:38.619
 and the sojourner.

00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:40.099
 What he's essentially

00:18:40.099 --> 00:18:41.099
 saying is that

00:18:41.099 --> 00:18:43.459
 I have a special concern

00:18:43.459 --> 00:18:45.539
 for the most vulnerable

00:18:45.539 --> 00:18:46.799
 in society.

00:18:48.019 --> 00:18:50.039
 I have a special concern

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:51.559
 for the most vulnerable

00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:52.339
 in society.

00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:55.259
 And so Deuteronomy 10

00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:56.919
 basically sums up

00:18:56.919 --> 00:18:57.939
 who God is.

00:18:58.019 --> 00:18:58.740
 It's fantastic.

00:18:58.859 --> 00:18:59.799
 This one passage,

00:19:00.419 --> 00:19:01.939
 God is the one true God,

00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:03.839
 the creator of the universe.

00:19:03.859 --> 00:19:06.019
 The God who loves

00:19:06.019 --> 00:19:06.599
 his people,

00:19:06.719 --> 00:19:08.159
 who loves his treasured

00:19:08.159 --> 00:19:08.599
 possession

00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:09.779
 and wants them

00:19:09.779 --> 00:19:10.719
 to worship him.

00:19:11.459 --> 00:19:12.599
 But he's also

00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:13.719
 specifically

00:19:13.719 --> 00:19:15.359
 the God

00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:16.439
 who loves

00:19:16.439 --> 00:19:17.479
 and cares for

00:19:17.479 --> 00:19:18.819
 the most vulnerable

00:19:18.819 --> 00:19:20.099
 in society.

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:22.719
 And so in light

00:19:22.719 --> 00:19:23.359
 of this,

00:19:23.939 --> 00:19:24.619
 in light of this,

00:19:24.699 --> 00:19:25.699
 Moses explains

00:19:25.699 --> 00:19:26.319
 to the people,

00:19:26.419 --> 00:19:27.500
 he challenges them

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:29.139
 and this is what

00:19:29.139 --> 00:19:30.500
 the adequate response

00:19:30.500 --> 00:19:31.559
 to this God is.

00:19:31.939 --> 00:19:32.419
 You've seen

00:19:32.419 --> 00:19:33.139
 who God is.

00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:34.140
 He's shown you

00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:34.540
 who he is.

00:19:34.780 --> 00:19:35.720
 This is how we should

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:36.240
 respond.

00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:38.020
 Let's read verse 12

00:19:38.020 --> 00:19:38.440
 together.

00:19:39.380 --> 00:19:40.220
 You should fear

00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:41.560
 the Lord your God.

00:19:42.100 --> 00:19:42.840
 Seeing all these

00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:44.080
 wonders and miracles,

00:19:44.320 --> 00:19:45.060
 fear him.

00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:46.600
 He's not just your dad.

00:19:47.300 --> 00:19:48.040
 He's not just your

00:19:48.040 --> 00:19:48.660
 heavenly father.

00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:49.780
 He's the king of kings.

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:51.759
 Walk in all his ways.

00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:53.040
 Love him.

00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:54.820
 Serve the Lord

00:19:54.820 --> 00:19:55.640
 your God

00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:56.620
 with all your heart

00:19:56.620 --> 00:19:57.840
 and with all your soul

00:19:57.840 --> 00:19:59.520
 and keep the commandments.

00:20:00.020 --> 00:20:00.940
 Keep the statutes

00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:01.500
 of the Lord

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:03.160
 which I am commanding

00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:03.799
 you today

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:05.299
 for your good.

00:20:06.740 --> 00:20:08.279
 And then verse 19,

00:20:09.380 --> 00:20:10.019
 he commands,

00:20:10.420 --> 00:20:11.820
 love the sojourner.

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:12.519
 Therefore,

00:20:13.100 --> 00:20:14.940
 for you were sojourners

00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:16.180
 in the land of Egypt.

00:20:17.779 --> 00:20:19.500
 So if the people

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:20.360
 of Israel

00:20:20.360 --> 00:20:22.680
 truly received

00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:23.420
 God's love,

00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:24.759
 they truly saw him

00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:26.580
 and for who he really was,

00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:28.559
 they would love him

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:29.500
 in response.

00:20:30.179 --> 00:20:30.839
 And that would

00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:32.720
 necessarily include

00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:33.940
 caring about

00:20:33.940 --> 00:20:35.599
 what God cares about.

00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:38.359
 So the blunt truth

00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:39.659
 that is presented

00:20:39.659 --> 00:20:41.059
 before Israel right now

00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:43.019
 is that they could not say,

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:44.700
 if I was an Israelite,

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.779
 I could not say

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:46.980
 that I know God

00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:48.940
 yet at the same time

00:20:48.940 --> 00:20:50.200
 ignore the needs

00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:51.200
 of the orphan,

00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:51.819
 the widow,

00:20:52.179 --> 00:20:52.819
 the sojourner.

00:20:53.399 --> 00:20:53.559
 You know,

00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:54.079
 this wasn't

00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:55.159
 like a charitable

00:20:55.159 --> 00:20:56.480
 bonus

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:57.679
 at the end of the year,

00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:58.660
 where you get

00:20:58.660 --> 00:20:59.880
 your charity in.

00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:00.160
 You know,

00:21:00.180 --> 00:21:01.420
 there were no tax receipts

00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:02.740
 in ancient Israel.

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:04.900
 This was simply about

00:21:04.900 --> 00:21:06.340
 hearing God,

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:07.140
 seeing him,

00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:08.700
 and emulating him,

00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:09.680
 following him,

00:21:10.120 --> 00:21:10.820
 obeying him.

00:21:12.140 --> 00:21:12.620
 And that's why

00:21:12.620 --> 00:21:14.039
 you have over and over again,

00:21:14.100 --> 00:21:14.500
 as you know,

00:21:14.560 --> 00:21:15.560
 the story of the Bible

00:21:15.560 --> 00:21:16.900
 when Israel falls,

00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:18.840
 when Israel is disobedient,

00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:20.600
 you know,

00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:21.799
 God challenges them.

00:21:23.100 --> 00:21:23.440
 He's like,

00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:24.100
 I hate your,

00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:25.019
 if you read Isaiah,

00:21:25.220 --> 00:21:25.960
 I've just been reminded

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:26.700
 of this this week.

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:28.100
 You read Isaiah 1,

00:21:28.620 --> 00:21:29.100
 God is saying,

00:21:29.220 --> 00:21:30.059
 I hate your worship.

00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:31.840
 I despise it.

00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:33.440
 You can sing all the songs

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:34.100
 to me you want.

00:21:34.340 --> 00:21:35.000
 You can give me

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.759
 all the money you want.

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:38.880
 You can pray all you want.

00:21:38.940 --> 00:21:39.620
 You can write the most

00:21:39.620 --> 00:21:40.740
 beautiful sermon

00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:41.819
 that you want.

00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:43.720
 But if you don't love

00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:44.660
 the downtrodden,

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:45.539
 if you don't love

00:21:45.539 --> 00:21:46.140
 the poor,

00:21:46.700 --> 00:21:47.620
 I hate your worship.

00:21:47.779 --> 00:21:48.860
 It's meaningless to me.

00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:50.240
 I despise it.

00:21:51.140 --> 00:21:53.539
 Some serious language there.

00:21:53.539 --> 00:21:56.940
 Now,

00:21:57.259 --> 00:21:58.819
 as a Hong Konger,

00:21:59.339 --> 00:22:00.399
 21st century,

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:01.720
 I think it's easy

00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:02.559
 for us to kind of

00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:03.420
 distance ourselves

00:22:03.420 --> 00:22:04.139
 from Israel,

00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:04.960
 ancient Israel,

00:22:05.139 --> 00:22:06.420
 and all the Old Testament

00:22:06.420 --> 00:22:06.859
 laws,

00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:08.379
 they seem irrelevant

00:22:08.379 --> 00:22:09.500
 or distant.

00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:11.639
 And it is true,

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:13.079
 we got to be careful

00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:13.980
 that we don't just

00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:15.200
 take Old Testament

00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.039
 things that were written

00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:18.339
 thousands of years ago

00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:19.339
 for a different culture

00:22:19.339 --> 00:22:20.099
 and just kind of like

00:22:20.099 --> 00:22:20.899
 plop them

00:22:20.899 --> 00:22:22.379
 into our context

00:22:22.380 --> 00:22:23.480
 because it is different.

00:22:24.380 --> 00:22:25.920
 So we always have to look

00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:26.720
 when we read the Bible,

00:22:26.900 --> 00:22:28.180
 look for what is

00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:29.020
 actually timeless.

00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:30.660
 What is it that really

00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:32.300
 is about God's character

00:22:32.300 --> 00:22:33.440
 and who He is?

00:22:33.520 --> 00:22:34.700
 What is He commanding us

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:35.360
 that is timeless?

00:22:35.780 --> 00:22:36.740
 And I think when we look

00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:37.860
 at Deuteronomy 10,

00:22:38.140 --> 00:22:39.580
 we see this description

00:22:39.580 --> 00:22:40.700
 of who God is,

00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:41.880
 what He's done,

00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:43.040
 His love for people,

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:44.160
 His love for the vulnerable,

00:22:44.300 --> 00:22:45.000
 and those things,

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:45.580
 I believe,

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:48.320
 are entirely unchanging.

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:50.960
 And so when I think

00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:51.480
 about that

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:52.500
 and when I look about,

00:22:52.679 --> 00:22:53.859
 look at our city today,

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:55.379
 I think we can see,

00:22:55.819 --> 00:22:56.919
 even in our church,

00:22:57.419 --> 00:22:58.679
 modern-day sojourners.

00:22:59.659 --> 00:23:01.159
 The context is different,

00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:01.419
 right?

00:23:01.879 --> 00:23:04.059
 But I think the vulnerabilities

00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:05.879
 are very much

00:23:05.879 --> 00:23:07.819
 the same in essence.

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:10.720
 And obviously,

00:23:10.879 --> 00:23:12.259
 Hong Kong is a place

00:23:12.259 --> 00:23:12.819
 of foreigners

00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:14.539
 and, you know,

00:23:14.659 --> 00:23:15.899
 expats, right?

00:23:15.939 --> 00:23:17.059
 I think a lot of you guys

00:23:17.059 --> 00:23:18.200
 fit in that category.

00:23:19.139 --> 00:23:19.859
 And a lot of people

00:23:19.859 --> 00:23:21.059
 don't have PR,

00:23:21.299 --> 00:23:22.960
 permanent residency status here.

00:23:23.879 --> 00:23:24.579
 But I don't think

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:25.399
 the sort of,

00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:26.559
 there's a lot of nuance here.

00:23:26.639 --> 00:23:27.200
 I don't think

00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:28.659
 if you're an expat

00:23:28.659 --> 00:23:29.720
 in a typical sense,

00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:30.700
 like you've come here

00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:32.500
 as a iBanker from UK,

00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:34.379
 I don't think you technically

00:23:34.379 --> 00:23:36.639
 fit in the sojourner category

00:23:36.639 --> 00:23:38.000
 that the Bibles talk about.

00:23:38.399 --> 00:23:38.599
 You know,

00:23:38.639 --> 00:23:39.619
 we really do come

00:23:39.619 --> 00:23:40.799
 from a place of privilege

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:42.659
 if you're a typical expat.

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:43.639
 Not all of you,

00:23:43.639 --> 00:23:44.399
 but just generally.

00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:45.700
 And you've come

00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:47.019
 from a place of wealth

00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:48.019
 you come here

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:49.619
 with a fantastic job.

00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:50.379
 You know,

00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:51.139
 you're esteemed

00:23:51.139 --> 00:23:52.680
 as a wonderful white person.

00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:53.660
 You know,

00:23:53.900 --> 00:23:54.639
 I can say that

00:23:54.639 --> 00:23:55.660
 because my wife is white

00:23:55.660 --> 00:23:56.879
 and I esteem her greatly.

00:23:57.779 --> 00:23:59.940
 And let's be honest, right?

00:24:00.059 --> 00:24:00.339
 You know,

00:24:00.460 --> 00:24:01.160
 there's a little bit

00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:01.680
 of that here.

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:03.220
 And more importantly,

00:24:03.339 --> 00:24:04.660
 you have a clear path

00:24:04.660 --> 00:24:06.099
 to permanent residency, right?

00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:07.359
 Seven years

00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:08.960
 and you're good to go.

00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:10.400
 And so,

00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:11.500
 I don't think

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:12.019
 we're necessarily

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:12.879
 talking about you

00:24:12.879 --> 00:24:13.819
 even though I love you

00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:14.660
 as an expat.

00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:17.640
 And then on the opposite

00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:18.420
 end of the spectrum,

00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:19.759
 we do have refugees

00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:20.740
 and asylum seekers

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:21.759
 and that's a whole

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.460
 other issue

00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:23.800
 and we definitely

00:24:23.800 --> 00:24:24.680
 as a church

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:25.800
 need to be thinking

00:24:25.800 --> 00:24:26.420
 about them

00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:27.519
 and thinking about

00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:28.279
 what our city

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:28.779
 is doing

00:24:28.779 --> 00:24:29.820
 for these people.

00:24:30.820 --> 00:24:31.440
 But today

00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:33.779
 is Helper's Appreciation Day

00:24:33.779 --> 00:24:35.580
 and I believe

00:24:35.580 --> 00:24:36.519
 God wants us

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:38.060
 to really consider

00:24:38.060 --> 00:24:40.180
 the foreign domestic helpers

00:24:40.180 --> 00:24:41.019
 in our midst

00:24:41.019 --> 00:24:43.180
 as sojourners

00:24:43.180 --> 00:24:44.539
 in a biblical sense.

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:46.820
 And so,

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:47.860
 did you know,

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.820
 I was just looking this up

00:24:49.820 --> 00:24:50.600
 and kind of doing

00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:51.120
 some research

00:24:51.120 --> 00:24:52.360
 that 10%

00:24:52.360 --> 00:24:54.200
 of the working population

00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:55.019
 in Hong Kong

00:24:55.019 --> 00:24:55.980
 are actually

00:24:55.980 --> 00:24:57.160
 foreign domestic helpers.

00:24:58.120 --> 00:24:58.920
 That comes up

00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:02.000
 to about 400,000 helpers

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:03.440
 and some have been

00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:04.060
 working here

00:25:04.060 --> 00:25:04.960
 for decades.

00:25:05.779 --> 00:25:05.880
 You know,

00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:06.759
 some have been helpers

00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:07.200
 here longer

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:07.900
 than some of you

00:25:07.900 --> 00:25:08.400
 have been born.

00:25:08.900 --> 00:25:09.900
 It's pretty amazing, right?

00:25:09.900 --> 00:25:12.280
 But let's be honest,

00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:13.340
 right?

00:25:14.280 --> 00:25:15.600
 In many ways

00:25:15.600 --> 00:25:16.640
 they are treated

00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:17.960
 as sojourners.

00:25:18.360 --> 00:25:20.340
 In this hierarchical society

00:25:20.340 --> 00:25:21.620
 they are seen

00:25:21.620 --> 00:25:22.220
 as different.

00:25:22.420 --> 00:25:23.100
 They are treated

00:25:23.100 --> 00:25:23.740
 as different.

00:25:23.900 --> 00:25:25.080
 Whether it's said

00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:25.920
 or unsaid,

00:25:26.380 --> 00:25:27.320
 that's the reality.

00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:28.700
 And I'm not just talking

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:29.680
 about the racism

00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:30.720
 or the prejudice

00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.360
 or just the,

00:25:33.820 --> 00:25:34.140
 you know,

00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:34.980
 just the abuse

00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:35.880
 even that happens

00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:36.880
 verbally and physically.

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:37.900
 I'm not just talking

00:25:37.900 --> 00:25:38.420
 about that.

00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:39.500
 We know that happens.

00:25:39.660 --> 00:25:40.620
 Just read the news.

00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:41.500
 Just Google it.

00:25:42.580 --> 00:25:43.560
 But I'm talking

00:25:43.560 --> 00:25:44.519
 about legally

00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:47.360
 as a domestic helper

00:25:47.360 --> 00:25:49.680
 you are literally

00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:51.220
 treated as a different

00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:52.340
 class of people

00:25:52.340 --> 00:25:53.000
 in Hong Kong.

00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:55.100
 Some of you know this

00:25:55.100 --> 00:25:55.700
 but if you don't

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:56.580
 let me just kind of

00:25:56.580 --> 00:25:57.140
 refresh you.

00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:58.120
 Six years ago

00:25:58.120 --> 00:25:59.620
 the Court of Final Appeal

00:25:59.620 --> 00:26:01.460
 ruled definitively

00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:02.900
 that if you are

00:26:02.900 --> 00:26:04.220
 a foreign domestic helper

00:26:04.220 --> 00:26:05.000
 you have,

00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:05.980
 you will never have

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:07.120
 the right of abode

00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:08.060
 in Hong Kong.

00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:09.340
 You could stay here

00:26:09.340 --> 00:26:10.480
 for 70 years

00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.039
 if you want

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:12.400
 but you can never

00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:13.900
 become a PR.

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:16.600
 And that was the

00:26:16.600 --> 00:26:17.900
 policy of the government

00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:18.840
 all along.

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:19.960
 That was the structure

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:20.660
 that was set up

00:26:20.660 --> 00:26:21.640
 but it's a little different

00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:22.680
 when you have it written

00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:24.380
 pretty much set in stone

00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:25.460
 by the highest court

00:26:25.460 --> 00:26:26.060
 of the land

00:26:26.060 --> 00:26:27.500
 that you will never

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:29.660
 become one of us.

00:26:31.580 --> 00:26:33.259
 You're a different class

00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:34.160
 literally.

00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:36.600
 And there's a lot

00:26:36.600 --> 00:26:37.700
 of other little things

00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:39.480
 and we can go into that

00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:40.460
 but I think another one

00:26:40.460 --> 00:26:41.340
 that obviously speaks

00:26:41.340 --> 00:26:42.120
 to us is money

00:26:42.120 --> 00:26:44.440
 and foreign domestic

00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:44.880
 helpers

00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:45.960
 they have literally

00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:47.600
 a different minimum wage

00:26:47.600 --> 00:26:50.000
 as everybody else

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.900
 in Hong Kong

00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:52.120
 and unfortunately

00:26:52.120 --> 00:26:52.880
 it's not higher

00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:53.480
 it's lower.

00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:55.240
 And so that just also

00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:56.160
 I think speaks

00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:58.680
 that there's a difference here

00:26:58.680 --> 00:26:59.640
 and there's an obvious

00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:00.980
 socioeconomic

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:02.580
 vulnerability there.

00:27:02.579 --> 00:27:04.579
 but there's a one

00:27:04.579 --> 00:27:05.639
 big one I think

00:27:05.639 --> 00:27:06.759
 that really also

00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:07.619
 underscores

00:27:07.619 --> 00:27:08.639
 is the fact that

00:27:08.639 --> 00:27:10.079
 foreign domestic helpers

00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:11.359
 their legal status

00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:13.199
 is completely based

00:27:13.199 --> 00:27:14.799
 on the employer

00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:15.879
 that recruits them

00:27:15.879 --> 00:27:16.939
 that brings them over.

00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:18.599
 So you know

00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:19.759
 if anything happens

00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:21.339
 if the contract

00:27:21.339 --> 00:27:22.079
 is terminated

00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:22.980
 they need to leave

00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:23.839
 in two weeks

00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:24.839
 I think a lot of you guys

00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:25.639
 know that already.

00:27:26.379 --> 00:27:26.960
 And so you have

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:28.139
 an entire system

00:27:28.139 --> 00:27:29.859
 where these helpers

00:27:29.859 --> 00:27:30.480
 these sojourners

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:30.919
 come in

00:27:30.919 --> 00:27:31.839
 and they're completely

00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:32.759
 at the mercy

00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:34.699
 of their employer.

00:27:35.399 --> 00:27:36.939
 And in this entire system

00:27:36.939 --> 00:27:38.119
 from recruiting

00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:39.679
 to agencies

00:27:39.679 --> 00:27:40.279
 and you know

00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:41.539
 all the lending

00:27:41.539 --> 00:27:43.099
 and the sort of

00:27:43.099 --> 00:27:43.859
 the loan sharks

00:27:43.859 --> 00:27:44.679
 that happen there

00:27:44.679 --> 00:27:45.619
 and just even

00:27:45.619 --> 00:27:46.339
 their dependence

00:27:46.339 --> 00:27:47.899
 on their employer

00:27:47.899 --> 00:27:49.480
 I think this entire system

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:50.899
 just breeds

00:27:50.899 --> 00:27:52.179
 a sense of vulnerability

00:27:52.179 --> 00:27:52.939
 for them.

00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:54.059
 That they are

00:27:54.059 --> 00:27:54.799
 very

00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:55.899
 very

00:27:55.899 --> 00:27:57.679
 I guess

00:27:57.679 --> 00:27:58.359
 in a place

00:27:58.359 --> 00:27:59.599
 of vulnerability

00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:00.879
 they're at the mercy

00:28:00.879 --> 00:28:01.879
 and they're so vulnerable

00:28:01.879 --> 00:28:02.719
 to being taken

00:28:02.719 --> 00:28:04.059
 advantage of

00:28:04.059 --> 00:28:04.439
 right?

00:28:06.639 --> 00:28:07.240
 Now I don't

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:08.339
 I've said a fair bit

00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:08.740
 about that

00:28:08.740 --> 00:28:09.480
 and I don't

00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:10.159
 I don't think

00:28:10.159 --> 00:28:10.859
 we need to hear

00:28:10.859 --> 00:28:11.439
 any more

00:28:11.439 --> 00:28:12.079
 from like

00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:13.079
 a middle class

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:13.759
 Chinese

00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:14.659
 Canadian man

00:28:14.659 --> 00:28:15.759
 so I want to

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:16.459
 invite Jonah

00:28:16.459 --> 00:28:17.659
 to come up

00:28:17.659 --> 00:28:18.879
 Jonah come on up

00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:20.180
 and Jonah

00:28:20.180 --> 00:28:20.820
 is

00:28:20.820 --> 00:28:22.060
 a

00:28:22.060 --> 00:28:23.260
 she works

00:28:23.260 --> 00:28:23.780
 as a foreign

00:28:23.780 --> 00:28:24.500
 domestic helper

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:25.600
 in Hong Kong

00:28:25.600 --> 00:28:27.260
 but more importantly

00:28:27.260 --> 00:28:28.760
 Jonah is

 this isn't gonna be

00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:54.240
 like the worst case

00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:54.700
 scenario

00:28:54.700 --> 00:28:56.059
 of everything

00:28:56.059 --> 00:28:56.700
 that could happen

00:28:56.700 --> 00:28:57.379
 bad to

00:28:57.379 --> 00:28:58.299
 you know

00:28:58.299 --> 00:28:59.019

00:28:59.019 --> 00:28:59.799
 this is just

00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:00.160
 Jonah

00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:01.240
 a sister in Christ

00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:02.700
 she has a story

00:29:02.700 --> 00:29:03.180
 to tell

00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:04.640
 she has experience

00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:05.319
 you know

00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:06.480
 as a sister in Christ

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.619
 and also as a helper

00:29:07.619 --> 00:29:08.660
 in Hong Kong

00:29:08.660 --> 00:29:09.920
 and so we just

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:10.740
 want to hear her story

00:29:10.740 --> 00:29:11.940
 and she's

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:12.839
 gonna tell us

00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:13.500
 about Jesus

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:14.039

00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:17.560
 let me just pray

00:29:17.560 --> 00:29:18.300
 for you really quick

00:29:18.300 --> 00:29:19.160
 and let's dive in

00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:20.320
 God just thank you

00:29:20.320 --> 00:29:21.300
 so much for Jonah

00:29:21.300 --> 00:29:22.780
 and all the ladies

00:29:22.780 --> 00:29:23.300
 who are in the

00:29:23.300 --> 00:29:24.100
 FOF group

00:29:24.100 --> 00:29:25.360
 thank you for her

00:29:25.360 --> 00:29:26.259
 I just pray that you

00:29:26.259 --> 00:29:27.320
 would use her right now

00:29:27.320 --> 00:29:28.519
 speak through her

00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:30.860
 humble her heart

00:29:30.860 --> 00:29:32.320
 show her how

00:29:32.320 --> 00:29:33.300
 beloved

00:29:33.300 --> 00:29:34.460
 she is

00:29:34.460 --> 00:29:35.580
 and how much

00:29:35.580 --> 00:29:36.220
 of a powerful

00:29:36.220 --> 00:29:36.820
 story

00:29:36.820 --> 00:29:38.060
 that she has

00:29:38.060 --> 00:29:39.480
 simply because

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:40.400
 the king of kings

00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:41.140
 loves her

00:29:41.140 --> 00:29:42.759
 and has anointed her

00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:43.980
 to do good works

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:45.059
 so we pray these

00:29:45.059 --> 00:29:45.680
 things in Jesus

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:46.099
 name

00:29:46.099 --> 00:29:46.779
 amen

00:29:46.779 --> 00:29:48.059
 Jonah

00:29:48.059 --> 00:29:49.519
 tell us a bit

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:50.120
 about yourself

00:29:50.120 --> 00:29:51.240
 tell us about

00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:53.420
 how you ended up

00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:54.079
 in Hong Kong

00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:55.079
 and just your

00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:55.640
 background

00:29:55.640 --> 00:30:05.740
 oh

00:30:05.740 --> 00:30:06.900
 it's working

00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:08.579
 hi I'm Jonah

00:30:08.579 --> 00:30:09.579
 I'm

00:30:09.579 --> 00:30:10.579
 I'm

00:30:10.579 --> 00:30:11.419
 I'm

00:30:11.419 --> 00:30:12.460
 I came from

00:30:12.460 --> 00:30:14.159
 Bagu City

00:30:14.159 --> 00:30:15.299
 the college place

00:30:15.299 --> 00:30:16.220
 in Philippines

00:30:16.220 --> 00:30:16.919
 and

00:30:16.919 --> 00:30:18.819
 I

00:30:18.819 --> 00:30:20.279
 became a Christian

00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:23.220
 I became a Christian

00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:23.899
 in Philippines

00:30:23.899 --> 00:30:24.699
 and

00:30:24.699 --> 00:30:26.740
 after that

00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:27.939
 I moved to

00:30:27.939 --> 00:30:28.359
 Kuwait

00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:29.159
 I work

00:30:29.159 --> 00:30:30.079
 I go to Kuwait

00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:30.759
 for a work

00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:31.779
 just like this

00:30:31.779 --> 00:30:32.199
 a nanny

00:30:32.199 --> 00:30:33.279
 and

00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:34.960
 my work there

00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:35.339
 is

00:30:35.339 --> 00:30:36.099
 I enjoy

00:30:36.099 --> 00:30:36.419
 a lot

00:30:36.419 --> 00:30:37.559
 I enjoy my work

00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:39.599
 I enjoy

00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:40.259
 my work

00:30:40.259 --> 00:30:41.119
 because I travel

00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:41.559
 a lot

00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:42.179
 with my

00:30:42.179 --> 00:30:42.700
 employer

00:30:42.700 --> 00:30:44.859
 they treat me

00:30:44.859 --> 00:30:45.419
 like

00:30:45.419 --> 00:30:46.980
 like as a part

00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:47.980
 of their family

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:48.659
 because

00:30:48.659 --> 00:30:49.700
 yeah

00:30:49.700 --> 00:30:50.319
 they treat me

00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:50.720
 like that

00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:51.019
 but

00:30:51.019 --> 00:30:53.019
 unfortunately

00:30:53.019 --> 00:30:55.059
 I was involved

00:30:55.059 --> 00:30:55.519
 with

00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:56.579
 immorality

00:30:56.579 --> 00:30:57.859
 in a godly

00:30:57.859 --> 00:30:58.500
 relationship

00:30:58.500 --> 00:30:59.419
 so

00:30:59.419 --> 00:31:00.899
 I decided

00:31:00.899 --> 00:31:02.039
 to go home

00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:02.700
 and ask

00:31:02.700 --> 00:31:03.559
 God forgiveness

00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:04.480
 ask God

00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:04.980
 for a second

00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:05.559
 chance

00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:06.559
 and that's

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:06.819
 why

00:31:06.819 --> 00:31:07.799
 that's how

00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:08.480
 I ended up

00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:09.200
 here in

00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:10.819
 How did you

00:31:10.819 --> 00:31:11.740
 come to know

00:31:11.740 --> 00:31:13.220
 the Lord Jesus

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:13.919
 how did you

00:31:13.919 --> 00:31:15.379
 become a Christian

00:31:15.379 --> 00:31:16.899
 I became a Christian

00:31:16.899 --> 00:31:19.519
 I came from

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:20.359
 poor family

00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:21.240
 and

00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:22.440
 my parents

00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:23.179
 cannot afford

00:31:23.179 --> 00:31:24.319
 my

00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:25.779
 tuition fee

00:31:25.779 --> 00:31:26.579
 to go to school

00:31:26.579 --> 00:31:27.679
 and I was so

00:31:27.679 --> 00:31:29.759
 I was so angry

00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:30.399
 with my

00:31:30.399 --> 00:31:31.679
 my parents

00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:33.180
 and I

00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:34.640
 I even said

00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:35.259
 that there is

00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:35.820
 no God

00:31:35.820 --> 00:31:36.480
 if there is

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:36.880
 God

00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:37.400
 why

00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:38.180
 why we are

00:31:38.180 --> 00:31:38.560
 poor

00:31:38.560 --> 00:31:39.000
 why

00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:40.560
 my family

00:31:40.560 --> 00:31:41.380
 cannot afford

00:31:41.380 --> 00:31:43.060
 me to go to

00:31:43.060 --> 00:31:43.519
 school

00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:44.380
 and

00:31:44.380 --> 00:31:45.720
 and that

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:46.340
 with that

00:31:46.340 --> 00:31:48.720
 I was so

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:50.220
 I invade

00:31:50.220 --> 00:31:50.720
 my

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:51.519
 my family

00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:52.320
 because some

00:31:52.320 --> 00:31:53.160
 of my family

00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:54.100
 usually they are

00:31:54.100 --> 00:31:55.759
 they are rich

00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:56.519
 they are

00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:57.420
 they are

00:31:57.420 --> 00:31:58.120
 in the political

00:31:58.120 --> 00:31:59.299
 situation like that

00:31:59.299 --> 00:32:00.159
 and they are

00:32:00.159 --> 00:32:00.460
 a leader

00:32:00.460 --> 00:32:01.240
 of a Catholic

00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:02.079
 so something

00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:02.480
 like that

00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:03.099
 so I really

00:32:03.099 --> 00:32:04.919
 I feel really

00:32:04.919 --> 00:32:05.359
 bad

00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:05.740
 and I

00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:06.259
 I really

00:32:06.259 --> 00:32:08.720
 you know

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:08.940
 I

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:10.579
 I feel useless

00:32:10.579 --> 00:32:11.680
 useless about

00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:11.940
 my

00:32:11.940 --> 00:32:12.799
 who I am

00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:13.720
 and

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:14.740
 yeah

00:32:14.740 --> 00:32:15.119
 that's

00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:15.740
 but

00:32:15.740 --> 00:32:16.720
 one day

00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:18.159
 some missionaries

00:32:18.159 --> 00:32:19.000
 went into our

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:19.539
 village

00:32:19.539 --> 00:32:20.039
 and

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:20.879
 shared the

00:32:20.879 --> 00:32:21.500
 word of God

00:32:21.500 --> 00:32:22.419
 but many times

00:32:22.419 --> 00:32:23.359
 I ignored them

00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:24.259
 I even

00:32:24.259 --> 00:32:25.180
 tore the

00:32:25.180 --> 00:32:25.940
 the

00:32:25.940 --> 00:32:26.379
 what they're

00:32:26.379 --> 00:32:26.759
 giving

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:28.319
 and I

00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:28.960
 ignored them

00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:29.539
 but one

00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:30.019
 day my

00:32:30.019 --> 00:32:30.799
 sister said

00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:31.680
 why don't

00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:32.340
 we try

00:32:32.340 --> 00:32:33.180
 let's try

00:32:33.180 --> 00:32:33.700
 let's go

00:32:33.700 --> 00:32:34.600
 entertain them

00:32:34.600 --> 00:32:34.980
 so

00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:36.360
 in short

00:32:36.360 --> 00:32:37.519
 we

00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:37.860
 my

00:32:37.860 --> 00:32:38.960
 my sister

00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:39.420
 go

00:32:39.420 --> 00:32:40.360
 and we

00:32:40.360 --> 00:32:41.180
 entertain them

00:32:41.180 --> 00:32:41.440
 but

00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:43.860
 the time

00:32:43.860 --> 00:32:44.600
 that's the time

00:32:44.600 --> 00:32:45.120
 I accept

00:32:45.120 --> 00:32:45.779
 Jesus my

00:32:45.779 --> 00:32:46.200
 Lord and

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:46.420
 Savior

00:32:46.420 --> 00:32:47.100
 but the

00:32:47.100 --> 00:32:47.559
 time that

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:48.039
 I said

00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:48.660
 my Lord

00:32:48.660 --> 00:32:49.160
 and Savior

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:50.539
 my family

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:51.700
 rejected me

00:32:51.700 --> 00:32:53.279
 they haven't

00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:53.519
 said

00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:54.220
 oh

00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:55.880
 because

00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:56.740
 they believe

00:32:56.740 --> 00:32:57.380
 that Catholic

00:32:57.380 --> 00:32:57.759
 is

00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:59.220
 it's the

00:32:59.220 --> 00:33:00.980
 best religion

00:33:00.980 --> 00:33:01.879
 something like that

00:33:01.879 --> 00:33:02.640
 they are the one

00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:03.200
 who is saved

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:03.900
 they are the one

00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:04.519
 who is true

00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:05.839
 and so

00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:06.779
 my family

00:33:06.779 --> 00:33:08.420
 rejected me

00:33:08.420 --> 00:33:09.039
 and

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:09.519
 they even

00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:09.879
 said

00:33:09.879 --> 00:33:10.839
 you better

00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:12.160
 you better

00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:13.140
 go and

00:33:13.140 --> 00:33:13.779
 change your

00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:14.519
 family name

00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:15.379
 and

00:33:15.379 --> 00:33:16.299
 I remember

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:17.259
 the last word

00:33:17.259 --> 00:33:17.740
 of my

00:33:17.740 --> 00:33:18.319
 grandmother

00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:19.519
 she told me

00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:20.680
 if you'll not

00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:21.160
 go back

00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:21.859
 as a Catholic

 faith

00:34:03.840 --> 00:34:04.820
 but

00:34:04.820 --> 00:34:06.100
 due to

00:34:06.100 --> 00:34:06.840
 some

00:37:29.980 --> 00:37:30.140
 yet

00:37:30.140 --> 00:37:30.660
 when

00:37:30.660 --> 00:37:30.860
 I

00:37:30.860 --> 00:37:31.380
 came

00:37:31.380 --> 00:37:31.559
 here

 I'm

00:37:38.860 --> 00:37:39.420
 like that

00:37:39.420 --> 00:37:40.500
 so I

00:37:40.500 --> 00:37:41.220
 compare

00:37:41.220 --> 00:37:41.800
 the

00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:42.900
 place

00:37:42.900 --> 00:37:43.260
 that I

00:37:44.660 --> 00:37:45.240
 I

00:37:45.240 --> 00:37:46.220
 came

00:37:46.220 --> 00:37:46.460
 from

00:37:46.460 --> 00:37:46.860
 a rich

00:37:46.860 --> 00:37:47.300
 family

00:37:47.300 --> 00:37:47.640
 I

00:37:47.640 --> 00:37:47.840
 have

00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:48.039
 my

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:48.320
 own

00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:48.820
 room

00:37:48.820 --> 00:37:49.539
 I

00:37:49.539 --> 00:37:49.780
 have

00:37:49.780 --> 00:37:50.640
 everything

00:37:50.640 --> 00:37:51.940
 food

00:37:51.940 --> 00:37:52.500
 and

00:37:52.500 --> 00:37:52.720
 they

00:37:52.720 --> 00:37:52.960
 treat

00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:53.120
 you

00:37:53.120 --> 00:37:53.700
 a lot

00:37:53.700 --> 00:37:54.420
 they

00:37:54.420 --> 00:37:55.559
 treat

00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:55.820
 me

00:37:55.820 --> 00:37:56.200
 like

00:37:56.200 --> 00:37:56.660
 a part

00:37:56.660 --> 00:37:56.820
 of

00:37:56.820 --> 00:37:56.940
 the

00:37:56.940 --> 00:37:57.420
 family

00:37:57.420 --> 00:37:57.700
 and

00:37:57.700 --> 00:37:57.880
 yet

00:37:57.880 --> 00:37:58.059
 they

00:37:58.059 --> 00:37:58.260
 are

00:37:58.260 --> 00:38:00.000
 rich

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:00.480
 family

00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:01.380
 and

00:38:01.380 --> 00:38:01.660
 so

00:38:01.660 --> 00:38:02.160
 I

00:38:02.160 --> 00:38:02.519
 become

00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:03.200
 boastful

00:38:03.200 --> 00:38:03.420
 and

00:38:03.420 --> 00:38:03.580
 I

00:38:03.580 --> 00:38:06.320
 compare

00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:09.460
 my

00:38:09.460 --> 00:38:10.019
 past

00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:10.480

00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:11.019
 to

00:38:11.019 --> 00:38:11.600
 them

00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:12.019
 so

00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:13.339
 I

00:38:13.339 --> 00:38:15.500
 started

00:38:15.500 --> 00:38:16.099
 answering

00:38:16.099 --> 00:38:16.380
 her

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:16.819
 back

00:38:16.819 --> 00:38:18.799
 if

00:38:18.799 --> 00:38:19.539
 she's

00:38:19.539 --> 00:38:19.880
 harsh

00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:20.059
 I

00:38:20.059 --> 00:38:20.339
 become

00:38:20.339 --> 00:38:20.799
 harsh

00:38:20.799 --> 00:38:21.159
 also

00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:21.759
 sometimes

00:38:21.759 --> 00:38:22.619
 but I

00:38:22.619 --> 00:38:22.880
 found

00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:23.119
 that

00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:23.759
 it's

00:38:23.759 --> 00:38:24.039
 not

00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:24.960
 good

00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:25.299
 and

00:38:25.299 --> 00:38:28.699
 how did

00:38:28.699 --> 00:38:29.019
 you find

00:38:29.019 --> 00:38:29.299
 that

00:38:29.299 --> 00:38:29.779
 how did

00:38:29.779 --> 00:38:30.480
 God

00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:31.319
 sustain

00:38:31.319 --> 00:38:31.679
 you

00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:32.679
 to

00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:33.219
 respond

00:38:33.219 --> 00:38:33.440
 to

00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:33.619
 your

00:38:33.619 --> 00:38:34.000
 harsh

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:34.579
 employer

00:38:34.579 --> 00:38:36.460
 so

00:38:36.460 --> 00:38:36.639
 I

00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:36.900
 just

00:38:36.900 --> 00:38:40.240
 prayed

00:38:40.240 --> 00:38:40.639
 and

00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:40.940
 cried

00:38:40.940 --> 00:38:41.180
 out

00:38:41.180 --> 00:38:41.340
 to

00:38:41.340 --> 00:38:41.639
 God

00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:41.840
 I

00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:42.079
 said

00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:42.880
 Lord

 doing

00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:45.820
 this

00:38:45.820 --> 00:38:46.099
 because

00:38:46.099 --> 00:38:46.700
 I

00:38:46.700 --> 00:38:47.180
 know

00:38:47.180 --> 00:38:48.280
 it's

00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:48.519
 really

00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:48.980
 hard

00:38:48.980 --> 00:38:49.240

00:39:42.300 --> 00:39:42.519
 did

00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:43.420

00:39:47.500 --> 00:39:47.740
 time

00:39:49.780 --> 00:39:50.300

00:39:50.300 --> 00:39:50.780
 so

00:39:50.780 --> 00:39:50.940
 I

00:39:50.940 --> 00:39:51.140
 just

00:39:53.160 --> 00:39:54.480
 while

00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:54.900
 reading

00:39:54.900 --> 00:39:55.240
 so

00:39:55.240 --> 00:39:55.660
 that's

00:39:55.660 --> 00:39:56.400
 how

00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:57.720
 God

00:39:57.720 --> 00:39:58.059
 spoke

00:39:58.059 --> 00:39:58.240
 to

00:39:58.240 --> 00:39:58.420
 you

00:39:58.420 --> 00:39:58.619

00:39:58.840 --> 00:39:59.340

00:39:59.340 --> 00:39:59.860
 learn

00:39:59.860 --> 00:40:00.099
 how

00:40:00.099 --> 00:40:00.260

00:40:00.260 --> 00:40:00.599
 love

00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:01.000
 even

00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:01.539
 a

00:40:01.539 --> 00:40:01.800
 harsh

00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:02.380
 employer

00:40:02.380 --> 00:40:03.559
 and

00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:04.079
 God

00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:04.519
 reminded

00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:04.820
 me

00:40:04.820 --> 00:40:05.180
 also

00:40:05.180 --> 00:40:05.700
 of

00:40:05.700 --> 00:40:06.160
 my

00:40:06.160 --> 00:40:06.619

00:40:07.860 --> 00:40:08.460
 we

00:40:08.460 --> 00:40:08.639

00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:08.920
 all

00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:09.220
 sinners

00:40:09.220 --> 00:40:09.539
 we

00:40:09.539 --> 00:40:09.700

00:40:10.780 --> 00:40:11.920
 and

00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:12.380

00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:13.660

00:41:22.340 --> 00:41:22.780
 because

00:41:27.940 --> 00:41:28.179
 they

00:41:34.059 --> 00:41:34.320
 feel

00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:34.639
 really

00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:35.400
 insecure

00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:36.159
 for

00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:36.320
 good

00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:36.639
 reason

00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:36.840
 though

00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:37.019
 right

00:41:37.019 --> 00:41:37.219
 because

00:41:37.219 --> 00:41:37.440
 that's

00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:37.579
 what

00:41:37.579 --> 00:41:37.719
 you

00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:38.480
 experienced

00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:39.559
 outside

00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:40.099
 right

00:41:40.099 --> 00:41:40.659
 yeah

00:41:40.659 --> 00:41:42.300
 maybe

00:41:42.300 --> 00:41:42.599
 it's

00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:42.900
 because

00:41:42.900 --> 00:41:43.139
 of

00:41:43.139 --> 00:41:43.460
 my

00:41:43.460 --> 00:41:44.639
 past

00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:44.920
 something

00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:45.159
 like

00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:45.320
 that

00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:45.559
 so

00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:46.219
 I

00:41:46.219 --> 00:41:48.539
 that's

00:41:48.539 --> 00:41:49.219
 and

00:41:49.219 --> 00:41:50.719
 I'm

00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:51.139
 a little

00:41:51.139 --> 00:41:51.440
 bit

00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:51.860
 shy

00:41:51.860 --> 00:41:52.380
 type

00:41:52.380 --> 00:41:52.820
 and

00:41:52.820 --> 00:41:53.200
 so

00:41:53.200 --> 00:41:54.380
 I

00:41:54.380 --> 00:41:54.880
 but I

00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:55.099
 think

00:41:55.099 --> 00:41:55.440
 God

00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:56.980
 I have

00:41:56.980 --> 00:41:57.760

00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:06.800
 me

00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:08.640

 good job

 delivered

00:43:34.439 --> 00:43:35.399
 to

00:43:35.399 --> 00:43:35.619
 my

00:43:35.619 --> 00:43:36.139
 struggle

00:43:36.139 --> 00:43:36.759

 my

00:43:38.059 --> 00:43:38.519
 personal

00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:39.079
 study

00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:39.500
 my

 my

00:43:41.879 --> 00:43:42.399
 devotion

00:43:42.399 --> 00:43:43.079
 so

00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:43.419
 that's

00:43:43.419 --> 00:43:43.619
 how

00:43:43.619 --> 00:43:43.839
 I

00:43:43.839 --> 00:43:44.139
 grow

00:43:44.139 --> 00:43:44.419
 and

00:43:44.419 --> 00:43:44.979
 overcome

00:43:44.979 --> 00:43:45.319
 the

00:43:45.319 --> 00:43:46.319
 shyness

00:43:46.319 --> 00:43:46.739
 and

00:43:46.739 --> 00:43:47.459
 I'm

00:43:47.459 --> 00:43:47.679
 a little

00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:47.979
 bit

00:43:47.979 --> 00:43:48.279
 shy

00:43:48.279 --> 00:43:48.559
 but

00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:49.399
 until

00:43:49.399 --> 00:43:49.699
 now

00:43:49.699 --> 00:43:49.879
 I

00:43:49.879 --> 00:43:50.039
 need

00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:50.179
 to

00:43:50.179 --> 00:43:50.559
 overcome

00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:51.039
 because

00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:51.279
 I

00:43:51.279 --> 00:43:51.500
 used

00:43:51.500 --> 00:43:51.659
 to

00:43:51.659 --> 00:43:51.899
 when

00:43:51.899 --> 00:43:52.219
 greeting

00:43:52.219 --> 00:43:52.799
 times

00:43:52.799 --> 00:43:53.059
 I

00:43:53.059 --> 00:43:53.419
 just

00:43:53.419 --> 00:43:53.839
 sitting

00:43:53.839 --> 00:43:54.139
 down

00:43:54.139 --> 00:43:54.439
 there

00:43:54.439 --> 00:43:54.739
 and

00:43:54.739 --> 00:43:55.839
 whoever

00:43:55.839 --> 00:43:56.259
 wants

00:43:56.259 --> 00:43:56.439
 to

00:43:56.439 --> 00:43:56.639
 greet

00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:56.819
 me

00:43:56.819 --> 00:43:57.059
 then

00:43:57.059 --> 00:43:57.899
 if

00:43:57.899 --> 00:43:58.379
 nobody

00:43:58.379 --> 00:43:58.639
 will

00:43:58.639 --> 00:43:58.859
 greet

00:43:58.859 --> 00:43:59.059
 me

00:43:59.059 --> 00:43:59.219
 then

00:43:59.219 --> 00:43:59.399
 it's

00:43:59.399 --> 00:43:59.719
 fine

00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:01.119
 yeah

00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:01.779
 and I

00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:45.720
 hold

00:47:45.720 --> 00:47:45.860
 you

00:47:45.860 --> 00:47:46.000
 in

00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:46.260
 less

00:47:46.260 --> 00:47:46.820
 esteem

00:47:46.820 --> 00:47:47.100
 even

00:47:47.100 --> 00:47:47.240
 if

00:47:47.240 --> 00:47:47.400
 it's

00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:48.340
 subconsciously

00:47:48.340 --> 00:47:48.820
 or

00:47:48.820 --> 00:47:48.960
 I

00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:49.080
 may

00:47:49.080 --> 00:47:49.240
 just

00:47:49.240 --> 00:47:49.660
 naturally

00:47:49.660 --> 00:47:50.240
 gravitate

00:47:50.240 --> 00:47:50.500
 to

00:47:50.500 --> 00:47:50.820
 someone

00:47:50.820 --> 00:47:51.180
 who's

00:47:51.180 --> 00:47:51.720
 more

00:47:51.720 --> 00:47:52.140
 similar

00:47:52.140 --> 00:47:52.400

00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:52.680
 me

00:47:52.680 --> 00:47:53.660
 or

00:47:53.660 --> 00:47:54.680
 speaks

00:47:54.680 --> 00:47:55.039
 like

00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:55.220
 me

00:47:55.220 --> 00:47:55.900
 or

 is

00:47:56.420 --> 00:47:56.940
 educated

00:47:56.940 --> 00:47:57.120
 in

00:47:57.120 --> 00:47:57.260
 a

00:47:57.260 --> 00:47:57.539
 similar

00:47:57.539 --> 00:47:58.240
 way

00:47:58.240 --> 00:47:58.400
 as

00:47:58.400 --> 00:47:58.560
 me

00:47:58.560 --> 00:47:58.980
 and

00:47:58.980 --> 00:47:59.099
 I'll

00:47:59.099 --> 00:47:59.280
 just

00:47:59.280 --> 00:47:59.860
 gravitate

00:47:59.860 --> 00:48:00.280
 towards

00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:00.519
 them

00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:00.820
 more

00:48:00.820 --> 00:48:01.340
 and

00:48:01.340 --> 00:48:01.500
 I'll

00:48:01.500 --> 00:48:01.780
 hold

00:48:01.780 --> 00:48:01.960
 them

00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:02.099
 in

00:48:02.099 --> 00:48:02.400
 higher

00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:02.920
 esteem

00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:03.119
 and

00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:04.579
 we

00:48:04.579 --> 00:48:04.840
 know

00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:05.059
 that

00:48:05.059 --> 00:48:05.380
 that's

00:48:05.380 --> 00:48:05.659
 not

00:48:05.659 --> 00:48:06.260
 right

00:48:06.260 --> 00:48:07.500
 that's

00:48:07.500 --> 00:48:07.679
 not

00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:07.860
 who

00:48:07.860 --> 00:48:08.119
 God

00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:08.420
 is

00:48:08.420 --> 00:48:09.119
 and

00:48:09.119 --> 00:48:09.260
 I

00:48:09.260 --> 00:48:09.539
 know

00:48:09.539 --> 00:48:09.800
 that

00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:10.000
 we

00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:10.159
 can

00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:10.300
 do

00:48:10.300 --> 00:48:10.599
 better

00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:10.820
 and

00:48:10.820 --> 00:48:10.980
 we

00:48:10.980 --> 00:48:11.199
 can

00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:11.940
 change

00:48:11.940 --> 00:48:12.119
 by

00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:12.300
 the

00:48:12.300 --> 00:48:12.519
 grace

00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:12.699
 of

00:48:12.699 --> 00:48:12.940
 God

00:48:12.940 --> 00:48:13.240
 so

00:48:13.240 --> 00:48:14.079
 I

00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:14.260
 just

00:48:14.260 --> 00:48:14.460
 really

00:48:14.460 --> 00:48:14.679
 feel

00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:14.800
 like

00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:14.920
 we

00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:15.240
 also

00:48:15.240 --> 00:48:15.579
 need

00:48:15.579 --> 00:48:15.860
 to

00:48:15.860 --> 00:48:16.420
 apologize

00:48:16.420 --> 00:48:16.820
 to

00:48:16.820 --> 00:48:17.159
 you

00:48:17.159 --> 00:48:17.840
 as

00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:18.280
 a

00:48:18.280 --> 00:48:18.699
 church

00:48:18.699 --> 00:48:19.360
 as

00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:19.500
 a

00:48:19.500 --> 00:48:19.860
 people

00:48:19.860 --> 00:48:20.900
 and

00:48:20.900 --> 00:48:21.139
 we

00:48:21.139 --> 00:48:21.440
 really

00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:21.639
 need

00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:21.780
 to

00:48:21.780 --> 00:48:22.000
 work

00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:22.199
 on

00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:22.460
 this

00:48:22.460 --> 00:48:22.699
 by

00:48:22.699 --> 00:48:23.059
 God's

00:48:23.059 --> 00:48:23.440
 grace

00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:25.299
 and

00:48:25.299 --> 00:48:25.420
 the

00:48:25.420 --> 00:48:25.860
 interesting

00:48:25.860 --> 00:48:26.179
 thing

00:48:26.179 --> 00:48:26.480
 about

00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:26.679
 our

00:48:26.679 --> 00:48:27.259
 failure

00:48:27.259 --> 00:48:27.599
 though

00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:28.059
 what

00:48:28.059 --> 00:48:28.299
 gave

00:48:28.299 --> 00:48:28.440
 me

00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:28.860
 comfort

00:48:28.860 --> 00:48:29.119
 as

00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:29.460
 I

00:48:29.460 --> 00:48:29.599
 was

00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:29.820
 thinking

00:48:29.820 --> 00:48:30.079
 about

00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:30.320
 this

00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:30.960
 is

00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:31.179
 that

00:48:31.179 --> 00:48:31.519
 God

00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:31.960
 isn't

00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:32.699
 surprised

00:48:32.699 --> 00:48:33.059
 by

00:48:33.059 --> 00:48:33.579
 anything

00:48:33.579 --> 00:48:35.019
 you

00:48:35.019 --> 00:48:35.079
 know

00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:35.219
 if

00:48:35.219 --> 00:48:35.320
 you

00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:35.500
 look

00:48:35.500 --> 00:48:35.779
 back

00:48:35.779 --> 00:48:35.960
 at

00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:36.099
 the

00:48:36.099 --> 00:48:36.679
 passage

00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:37.119
 let's

00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:37.279
 take

00:48:37.279 --> 00:48:37.379
 a

00:48:37.379 --> 00:48:37.480
 look

00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:37.619
 at

00:48:37.619 --> 00:48:37.819
 verse

00:48:37.819 --> 00:48:38.359
 16

00:48:38.359 --> 00:48:38.659
 God

00:48:38.659 --> 00:48:38.899
 says

00:48:38.899 --> 00:48:39.919
 circumcise

00:48:39.919 --> 00:48:40.359
 therefore

00:48:40.359 --> 00:48:40.659
 the

00:48:40.659 --> 00:48:41.519
 foreskin

00:48:41.519 --> 00:48:42.299
 of your

00:48:42.299 --> 00:48:42.679
 heart

00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:43.579
 and be

00:48:43.579 --> 00:48:44.159
 no longer

00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:44.619
 stubborn

00:48:44.619 --> 00:48:44.819
 it's

00:48:44.819 --> 00:48:45.019
 very

00:48:45.019 --> 00:48:45.779
 graphic

00:48:45.779 --> 00:48:46.299
 isn't

00:48:46.299 --> 00:48:46.519
 it

00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:46.879
 and

00:48:46.879 --> 00:48:47.019
 this

00:48:47.019 --> 00:48:47.339
 idea

00:48:47.339 --> 00:48:47.539
 of

00:48:47.539 --> 00:48:48.419
 circumcising

00:48:48.419 --> 00:48:48.619
 your

00:48:48.619 --> 00:48:48.799
 own

00:48:48.799 --> 00:48:49.099
 heart

00:48:49.099 --> 00:48:49.279
 is

00:48:49.279 --> 00:48:49.500
 really

00:48:49.500 --> 00:48:49.779
 just

00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:50.339
 picture

00:48:50.339 --> 00:48:51.139
 that

00:48:51.139 --> 00:48:51.619
 you

00:48:51.619 --> 00:48:51.799
 need

00:48:51.799 --> 00:48:51.960
 a

00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:52.659
 radical

00:48:52.659 --> 00:48:53.440
 heart

00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:53.919
 change

00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:56.159
 in

00:48:56.159 --> 00:48:56.379
 and

00:48:56.379 --> 00:48:56.539
 just

 rewire

00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:27.960
 see

00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:28.339
 something

00:49:28.339 --> 00:49:28.719
 very

00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:29.399
 interesting

00:49:29.399 --> 00:49:29.619
 is

00:49:29.619 --> 00:49:29.739
 that

00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:31.559
 using

00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:31.799
 the

00:49:32.019 --> 00:49:32.799
 sojourner

00:49:32.799 --> 00:49:33.059
 not

00:49:33.059 --> 00:49:33.299
 just

00:49:33.300 --> 00:49:33.960
 literally

00:49:33.960 --> 00:49:35.260
 but

00:49:35.260 --> 00:49:36.039
 spiritually

00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:36.380
 to

00:49:36.380 --> 00:49:37.160
 describe

00:49:37.160 --> 00:49:37.700
 the

00:49:37.700 --> 00:49:38.660
 spiritual

00:49:38.660 --> 00:49:39.580
 condition

00:49:39.580 --> 00:49:39.940
 of

00:49:39.940 --> 00:49:40.180
 all

00:49:40.180 --> 00:49:40.620
 people

00:49:40.620 --> 00:49:42.100
 sometimes

00:49:42.100 --> 00:49:42.519
 you'll

00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:42.780
 see it

00:49:42.780 --> 00:49:43.300
 translated

00:49:43.300 --> 00:49:43.560
 as

00:49:43.560 --> 00:49:43.900
 a

00:49:43.900 --> 00:49:44.460
 stranger

00:49:44.460 --> 00:49:45.280
 or

00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:46.019
 foreigner

00:49:46.019 --> 00:49:46.620
 or

00:49:46.620 --> 00:49:47.260
 alien

00:49:47.260 --> 00:49:48.000
 but

00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:48.240
 the

00:49:48.240 --> 00:49:48.560
 meaning

00:49:48.560 --> 00:49:48.760
 is

00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:49.140
 essentially

00:49:49.140 --> 00:49:49.400
 the

00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:49.800
 same

00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:50.120
 it's

00:49:50.120 --> 00:49:50.260
 that

00:49:50.260 --> 00:49:50.480
 we

00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:50.640
 are

00:49:50.640 --> 00:49:51.080
 all

00:49:51.080 --> 00:49:52.100
 sojourners

00:49:52.100 --> 00:49:53.140
 separated

00:49:53.140 --> 00:49:54.019
 from

00:49:54.019 --> 00:49:54.380
 God's

00:49:54.380 --> 00:49:54.720
 kingdom

00:49:54.720 --> 00:49:56.180
 and

00:49:56.180 --> 00:49:56.380
 this

00:49:56.380 --> 00:49:57.060
 morning

00:49:57.060 --> 00:49:57.580
 whether

00:49:57.580 --> 00:49:57.820
 you're

00:49:57.820 --> 00:49:58.019
 a

00:49:58.019 --> 00:49:58.340

00:49:59.380 --> 00:49:59.580
 I

00:49:59.580 --> 00:49:59.820
 think

00:49:59.820 --> 00:50:00.060
 we

00:50:00.060 --> 00:50:00.640
 do

 of

00:50:44.860 --> 00:50:45.380
 something

00:50:45.380 --> 00:50:47.480
 some of

00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:47.740
 us are

00:50:47.740 --> 00:50:48.280
 just so

00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:48.720
 gripped

00:50:48.720 --> 00:50:49.139
 we feel

00:50:49.139 --> 00:50:49.340
 like

00:50:49.340 --> 00:50:49.940
 sojourners

00:50:49.940 --> 00:50:50.260
 in the

00:50:50.260 --> 00:50:51.679
 life of

00:50:52.740 --> 00:50:53.340
 relationships

00:50:53.340 --> 00:50:54.260
 and we

00:50:54.260 --> 00:50:54.720
 just need

00:50:54.720 --> 00:50:55.039
 to get

00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:55.380
 to that

00:50:55.380 --> 00:50:55.840
 promised

00:50:55.840 --> 00:50:56.260
 land

00:50:56.260 --> 00:50:57.240
 and then

00:50:57.240 --> 00:50:57.539
 I'll be

00:50:57.539 --> 00:50:57.960
 happy

00:50:57.960 --> 00:50:58.860
 then

00:50:58.860 --> 00:50:58.980
 I'll

00:50:58.980 --> 00:50:59.139
 be

00:50:59.139 --> 00:50:59.579
 home

00:50:59.579 --> 00:51:00.619
 and there's

00:51:00.619 --> 00:51:01.059
 always

00:51:01.059 --> 00:51:01.460
 another

00:51:01.460 --> 00:51:01.860
 place

00:51:01.860 --> 00:51:02.079
 to

00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:02.539
 sojourn

00:51:02.539 --> 00:51:02.820
 to

00:51:02.820 --> 00:51:03.780
 and what

00:51:03.780 --> 00:51:04.119
 we don't

00:51:04.119 --> 00:51:04.400
 see

00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:04.820
 is that

00:51:04.820 --> 00:51:05.679
 heaven

00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:06.840
 is our

00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:07.099
 true

00:51:07.099 --> 00:51:07.460
 home

00:51:07.460 --> 00:51:08.500
 that

00:51:08.500 --> 00:51:09.039
 adoption

00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:09.380
 into

00:51:09.380 --> 00:51:09.780
 God's

00:51:09.780 --> 00:51:10.240
 family

00:51:10.240 --> 00:51:11.119
 is what

00:51:11.119 --> 00:51:11.579
 we truly

00:51:11.579 --> 00:51:12.000
 need

00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:13.420
 and so

00:51:13.420 --> 00:51:13.740
 we end

00:51:13.740 --> 00:51:14.039
 up being

00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:14.860
 sojourners

00:51:14.860 --> 00:51:15.559
 in the

00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:15.900
 world

00:51:15.900 --> 00:51:16.559
 in our

00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:17.119
 sin

00:51:17.119 --> 00:51:19.260
 and we

00:51:19.260 --> 00:51:19.440
 are

00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:20.139
 separated

00:51:20.139 --> 00:51:20.420
 from

00:51:20.420 --> 00:51:20.740
 God

00:51:20.740 --> 00:51:21.079
 and there's

00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:21.740
 no path

00:51:21.740 --> 00:51:22.460
 to

00:51:22.460 --> 00:51:23.000
 citizenship

00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:24.639
 it's not

00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:24.820
 just

00:51:24.820 --> 00:51:25.139
 seven

00:51:25.139 --> 00:51:25.480
 years

00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:25.760
 the

00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:25.980
 door

00:51:25.980 --> 00:51:26.159
 is

00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:26.820
 closed

00:51:26.820 --> 00:51:28.559
 but

00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:28.719
 this

00:51:28.719 --> 00:51:28.840
 is

00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:28.960
 the

00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:29.980
 passage

00:51:29.980 --> 00:51:30.320

 our

00:51:36.900 --> 00:51:38.400

00:53:19.039 --> 00:53:19.380
 that

00:53:19.380 --> 00:53:19.579
 you've

00:53:19.579 --> 00:53:19.740
 ever

00:53:19.740 --> 00:53:20.300
 received

00:53:20.300 --> 00:53:21.440
 it's

00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:21.559
 the

00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:21.780
 only

00:53:21.780 --> 00:53:22.220
 place

00:53:22.220 --> 00:53:22.360
 you

00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:22.500
 can

00:53:22.500 --> 00:53:22.660
 be

00:53:22.660 --> 00:53:23.100
 certain

00:53:23.100 --> 00:53:24.200
 for

00:53:24.200 --> 00:53:24.579
 life

00:53:24.579 --> 00:53:25.000
 after

00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:25.420
 death

00:53:25.420 --> 00:53:26.420
 and

00:53:26.420 --> 00:53:26.519
 so

00:53:26.519 --> 00:53:26.660
 when

00:53:26.660 --> 00:53:26.800
 you're

00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:27.000
 so

00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:27.460
 full

00:53:27.460 --> 00:53:27.700
 of

00:53:27.700 --> 00:53:28.220
 God's

00:53:28.220 --> 00:53:28.800
 love

00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:29.039
 that

00:53:29.039 --> 00:53:29.220
 will

00:53:29.220 --> 00:53:29.900
 naturally

00:53:29.900 --> 00:53:30.780
 change

00:53:30.780 --> 00:53:31.780
 how

00:53:31.780 --> 00:53:31.940
 you

00:53:31.940 --> 00:53:32.300
 live

00:53:32.300 --> 00:53:33.700
 and

00:53:33.700 --> 00:53:33.860
 so

00:53:33.860 --> 00:53:34.240
 for

00:53:34.240 --> 00:53:34.480
 some

00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:34.640
 of

00:53:34.640 --> 00:53:34.800
 us

00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:35.059
 today

00:53:35.059 --> 00:53:35.260
 I

00:53:35.260 --> 00:53:35.460
 think

00:53:35.460 --> 00:53:35.700
 we

00:53:35.700 --> 00:53:36.100
 need

00:53:36.100 --> 00:53:36.260
 to

00:53:36.260 --> 00:53:36.480
 just

00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:37.000
 recognize

00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:37.460
 that

00:53:37.460 --> 00:53:37.840
 for

00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:38.120
 maybe

00:53:38.120 --> 00:53:38.340
 the

00:53:38.340 --> 00:53:38.620
 first

00:53:38.620 --> 00:53:38.960
 time

00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:39.180
 that

00:53:39.180 --> 00:53:39.680
 I

00:53:39.680 --> 00:53:39.820
 am

00:53:39.820 --> 00:53:39.980
 a

00:53:39.980 --> 00:53:40.500
 sojourner

00:53:40.500 --> 00:53:41.599
 and

00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:41.800
 I've

00:53:41.800 --> 00:53:41.960
 been

00:53:41.960 --> 00:53:42.539
 searching

00:53:42.539 --> 00:53:42.780

00:53:42.780 --> 00:53:42.980

00:53:42.980 --> 00:53:43.340
 life

00:53:43.340 --> 00:53:43.539
