00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.339
 So, Colossians chapter 3, reading from verse 1 to verse 14.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:43.859
 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature, sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.

00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.560
 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.

00:00:49.219 --> 00:00:53.000
 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:01:05.319
 But now, you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these, anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:19.400
 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices, and have put on the new self, which has been renewed in knowledge in the image of its creator.

00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:28.660
 Here, there is neither Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free.

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.740
 But Christ is all, and is in all.

00:01:32.739 --> 00:01:50.699
 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:54.919
 Bear with each other, and forgive one another.

00:01:55.519 --> 00:02:01.799
 If any of you has a grievance against someone, forgive as the Lord forgave you.

00:02:02.739 --> 00:02:10.519
 And over all these virtues, put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:14.659
 Let's pray before Alex comes to speak from the word.

00:02:14.659 --> 00:02:23.219
 Lord, we are blessed by the reading of your word, Lord Jesus.

00:02:23.699 --> 00:02:27.900
 We thank you for the evident truth that it has.

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:35.419
 Whether we are a believer or not, Father, its truthfulness and its honesty and its helpfulness shines through.

00:02:35.419 --> 00:02:41.339
 And Lord, we thank you now for Alex, who you have blessed with many gifts.

00:02:41.679 --> 00:02:49.779
 And we thank you that he is able to come and teach us now from your word, to preach your word, to speak into our hearts the word of God.

00:02:50.279 --> 00:02:51.379
 Be gracious to him.

00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:55.419
 Lord, help us to listen well through the power of the Spirit.

00:02:55.419 --> 00:02:56.459
 Amen.

00:03:14.459 --> 00:03:15.759
 Well, good morning, everyone.

00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:22.039
 As Ralph said, our summer series is based on the Christian life.

00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:28.959
 And so today, we will mainly, but not totally, be dealing with the issue of dealing with sin.

00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.879
 I want to make this as simple as possible for us all.

00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.659
 So that we can go out and put it into practice straight away.

00:03:38.399 --> 00:03:40.500
 We will look at three main points.

00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.139
 Some in more depth than others.

00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.379
 So if you're taking notes, these are the three main points.

00:03:47.659 --> 00:03:48.359
 Spoiler alert.

00:03:48.360 --> 00:04:02.080
 The main points are, when dealing with sin, we need to look up, we need to put off, and we need to put on.

00:04:04.780 --> 00:04:09.160
 Just before I continue, everybody at the back and the front, can you hear me okay?

00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:10.200
 I haven't got a microphone.

00:04:11.420 --> 00:04:11.700
 Good.

00:04:11.699 --> 00:04:16.039
 So first, look up.

00:04:17.099 --> 00:04:20.779
 Let's read chapter 3 again, verse 1 to 3.

00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:25.539
 Since then, you have been raised with Christ.

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.180
 Set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.680
 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.900
 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ and God.

00:04:42.900 --> 00:04:46.259
 Set your minds on things above, it says.

00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:58.319
 By looking up, or setting our minds on things above, we will think, meditate, and wrestle with the things of God.

00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:07.000
 As we think about sin, we will meditate on Christ's saving work on the cross on our behalf.

00:05:10.219 --> 00:05:14.920
 Let's try and understand first what sin is and what its consequences are.

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.000
 Kevin DeYoung, the author and theologian, describes sin like this.

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:33.000
 He says that the Bible makes it clear that sin is both a condition, inherited from Adam, and an action, manifesting itself in thought, word, and deed.

00:05:33.660 --> 00:05:36.259
 That when fully grown, gives birth to death.

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.720
 Very simply, sin is lawlessness.

00:05:42.540 --> 00:05:48.540
 It means that we've broken God's commands and have fallen short of his glory.

00:05:48.540 --> 00:05:53.280
 But it actually goes much deeper than just missing the mark.

00:05:53.960 --> 00:05:55.819
 Sin is idolatry.

00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:58.620
 Look again at verse 5.

00:05:59.020 --> 00:06:02.480
 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature.

00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:09.460
 Sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.

00:06:09.459 --> 00:06:19.060
 Sin is worshipping false gods or idols.

00:06:19.939 --> 00:06:23.979
 Whether these gods are overt and physical, like actions,

00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:29.939
 or whether they're more subtle and internal, like thoughts or attitudes.

00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:34.899
 Idols aren't necessarily bad things as such.

00:06:34.899 --> 00:06:42.859
 Idols can very often be good things, which we have made to be ultimate things.

00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:58.479
 Sin can also be considered adultery, which is seeking for other sources of satisfaction and meaning other than God.

00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:08.819
 As we trace sin through the Bible, from Adam to Abraham, from Lot to Laban, from Joseph to Judah,

00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:10.400
 I didn't get as far as dead.

00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:13.140
 We see that sin is a big problem.

00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:17.360
 And human beings are clearly not the solution.

00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.240
 Kevin de Jong again puts it like this.

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:49.079
 Every sin, no matter how private or quiet,

00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:55.099
 is an affront to the holiness, goodness, and kindness of God.

00:07:56.419 --> 00:08:00.379
 This is what David meant in Psalm 51, verse 4,

00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.639
 when, after he committed adultery and murder,

00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:05.539
 and tried to cover both of them up,

00:08:05.579 --> 00:08:07.699
 he confessed to God.

00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:09.000
 He says,

00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.819
 Against you, you only have I sinned.

00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:18.419
 God is ultimately the one we have offended.

00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:19.719
 When we sin.

00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:26.120
 As a result, sin cannot be without consequences.

00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:28.599
 God is a God of justice.

00:08:29.339 --> 00:08:32.659
 And in the end, every sin and sinner must face consequences.

00:08:34.220 --> 00:08:35.919
 God would be less than God,

00:08:36.059 --> 00:08:38.100
 and sin would be something less than sin,

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:43.039
 if the Lord allowed our treacherous disobedience to go unnoticed and unchecked.

00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.199
 It is clear that sin must be paid for.

00:08:48.959 --> 00:08:55.120
 The good news is that Jesus deals with our sin by becoming sin for us.

00:08:56.079 --> 00:09:03.879
 He conquers the God-defiant wretchedness of sin by divine satisfaction through divine self-substitution.

00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:08.299
 The truth is that we are sinful.

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.379
 And no matter how hard we try not to be,

00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:14.100
 we are still sinners.

00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:19.000
 And as a result, the punishment for sin is death.

00:09:19.940 --> 00:09:23.080
 God has seen our desperate state and the state of our heart,

00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.920
 and has decided to do something about it.

00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.560
 Sin is so serious,

00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:32.420
 that only death can satisfy or pay the cost.

00:09:32.419 --> 00:09:35.699
 That's why verse 6,

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:42.179
 or that's what verse 6 means when it says that the wrath of God is coming.

00:09:43.479 --> 00:09:49.579
 The wrath of God is defined as the divine attribute by which God intensely hates sin,

00:09:50.079 --> 00:09:53.279
 and is poised and ready to punish it fully.

00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:55.419
 For forgiveness,

00:09:56.719 --> 00:09:59.319
 leading to salvation from God's wrath to occur,

00:09:59.959 --> 00:10:01.620
 his anger must be satisfied.

00:10:02.419 --> 00:10:07.279
 So Jesus took the wrath of God on himself,

00:10:07.659 --> 00:10:08.740
 on the cross,

00:10:09.059 --> 00:10:10.500
 and as a result,

00:10:10.839 --> 00:10:13.039
 Christians will never face the wrath of God.

00:10:13.779 --> 00:10:16.759
 But if you don't believe,

00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:22.699
 you will experience God's fury in eternal judgment and punishment.

00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.919
 So our sin is our thoughts,

00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:29.519
 our words,

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:30.299
 or our deeds,

00:10:30.299 --> 00:10:33.419
 that separate us from full union with God.

00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:36.679
 And Christ's death on the cross

00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:38.399
 is what brings us back

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:39.699
 to God.

00:10:43.699 --> 00:10:46.740
 Once we have realised what we have been saved from,

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:48.099
 God's wrath,

00:10:48.579 --> 00:10:51.500
 it is easier then to see what we have been saved for.

00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:56.960
 Look with me at verse 3 and 4.

00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.960
 For you died,

00:10:58.960 --> 00:10:59.500
 for you died,

00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:03.519
 and your life is now hidden with Christ and God.

00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:04.780
 When Christ,

00:11:04.900 --> 00:11:05.519
 who is your life,

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:05.900
 appears,

00:11:06.060 --> 00:11:09.340
 then you also will appear with him in glory.

00:11:09.340 --> 00:11:15.720
 It is easier to see what we have been saved for.

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.480
 To be hidden with Christ in God,

00:11:18.620 --> 00:11:20.879
 to appear with him in glory.

00:11:21.460 --> 00:11:23.440
 This is what we are to set our minds on.

00:11:24.019 --> 00:11:26.080
 To set our minds on things above

00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.540
 is to think about what we have been saved from

00:11:28.539 --> 00:11:30.879
 and what we have been saved for.

00:11:34.299 --> 00:11:36.919
 How can we think about these things

00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:38.179
 or meditate on them

00:11:38.179 --> 00:11:41.219
 if we neglect to go to the source of them?

00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:43.839
 We know these things

00:11:43.839 --> 00:11:45.819
 because the Bible tells us about them.

00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:48.819
 To meditate on things above

00:11:48.819 --> 00:11:50.919
 is the original mindfulness.

00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:54.240
 Filling our minds with good things

00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:55.299
 and good truth.

00:11:55.299 --> 00:11:58.000
 It is filling our minds with God's truth

00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.139
 and the good news of saving faith

00:12:00.139 --> 00:12:01.779
 through Jesus Christ.

00:12:07.219 --> 00:12:07.779
 Similarly,

00:12:08.439 --> 00:12:10.479
 as we set our hearts

00:12:10.479 --> 00:12:12.519
 on things above,

00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.000
 our hearts will yearn

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.740
 for the things of God

00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:19.939
 and not for ourselves.

00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:24.019
 If we love our jobs,

00:12:24.019 --> 00:12:28.679
 or see our identity

00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:30.000
 in what we do,

00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:33.419
 or if we love our spouse,

00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.220
 or we love our children,

00:12:35.439 --> 00:12:37.679
 or we yearn for a relationship more

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.500
 than we love God,

00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:41.539
 then our hearts

00:12:41.539 --> 00:12:43.179
 are not set on things above.

00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:46.699
 If we pride ourselves

00:12:46.699 --> 00:12:48.000
 in self-sufficiency

00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.819
 and never need to ask for help,

00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:52.420
 then we are not

00:12:52.420 --> 00:12:53.340
 setting our minds

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:54.200
 on things above,

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.460
 because it robs people

00:12:56.460 --> 00:12:57.740
 of the opportunity

00:12:57.740 --> 00:12:58.660
 to serve us.

00:12:59.820 --> 00:13:00.900
 If our hearts

00:13:00.900 --> 00:13:01.720
 are more inclined

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.240
 towards personal comfort

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:04.060
 and rest

00:13:04.060 --> 00:13:05.760
 than fellowship

00:13:05.760 --> 00:13:06.760
 with other believers,

00:13:07.020 --> 00:13:08.340
 then our hearts

00:13:08.340 --> 00:13:09.300
 are not set

00:13:09.300 --> 00:13:10.260
 on things above.

00:13:10.259 --> 00:13:13.319
 to have our hearts

00:13:13.319 --> 00:13:14.460
 set on things above

00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:16.059
 where Christ is seated

00:13:16.059 --> 00:13:17.879
 is to be doing

00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:19.080
 our everyday life

00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:20.000
 in our jobs,

00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:21.439
 in our relationships,

00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:22.759
 in our trials,

00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:23.679
 in our struggles,

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:25.539
 with our eyes fixed

00:13:25.539 --> 00:13:26.360
 on Christ,

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.600
 sitting at the right hand

00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:29.200
 of God.

00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:32.460
 The image comes

00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:33.779
 from Psalm 110,

00:13:34.300 --> 00:13:35.139
 a famous psalm

00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:36.039
 where David says,

00:13:36.419 --> 00:13:38.080
 The Lord says to my Lord,

00:13:38.779 --> 00:13:40.100
 Sit at my right hand

00:13:40.100 --> 00:13:41.480
 until I make your enemies

00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:42.320
 a footstool

00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:43.180
 under your feet.

00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.519
 The image is of Jesus

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:48.419
 sitting next to the Father

00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:49.519
 and speaks of

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.399
 the promise of glory,

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:52.920
 a glory which we,

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:53.600
 as believers,

00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:54.899
 will also enjoy.

00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.980
 And that's picked up

00:13:58.980 --> 00:13:59.639
 in verse 4

00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.100
 of Colossians 3 again.

00:14:01.220 --> 00:14:01.879
 When Christ,

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:03.200
 who is your life,

00:14:03.300 --> 00:14:03.639
 appears,

00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:05.440
 then you also

00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:06.519
 will appear

00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:07.360
 with him in glory.

00:14:10.139 --> 00:14:11.279
 People often say

00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:11.860
 about someone

00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:13.139
 that they are

00:14:13.139 --> 00:14:14.320
 too heavenly minded

00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:15.120
 to be of any

00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:15.860
 earthly good.

00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:17.539
 Well, in actual fact,

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:18.940
 what Paul is saying here

00:14:18.940 --> 00:14:19.460
 is that to be

00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:20.460
 of any earthly good,

00:14:20.779 --> 00:14:21.440
 we should be

00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.539
 more heavenly minded.

00:14:23.539 --> 00:14:24.460
 For example,

00:14:24.980 --> 00:14:26.159
 when we are

00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:27.259
 tired or weary,

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:29.360
 instead of

00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:29.919
 vegging out

00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:30.480
 on Facebook

00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:31.120
 or YouTube

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:32.199
 or in front

00:14:32.199 --> 00:14:32.779
 of the telly,

00:14:32.899 --> 00:14:33.819
 we could turn

00:14:33.819 --> 00:14:34.339
 our minds

00:14:34.339 --> 00:14:35.299
 to things above.

00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:37.539
 And God's word

00:14:37.539 --> 00:14:38.219
 tells us in

00:14:38.219 --> 00:14:38.919
 Matthew 11,

00:14:39.779 --> 00:14:40.860
 Come to me,

00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:42.480
 all you who are

00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:43.939
 weary and burdened,

00:14:44.299 --> 00:14:45.919
 and I will give you rest.

00:14:47.199 --> 00:14:48.519
 Or suppose we are

00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:49.939
 anxious about the future

00:14:49.939 --> 00:14:51.120
 or about our finances.

00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:52.879
 Well, we could worry

00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:54.500
 about them

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:56.360
 or we could set

00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:57.980
 our minds

00:14:57.980 --> 00:14:59.019
 on things above

00:14:59.019 --> 00:15:00.220
 and read

00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:01.500
 Matthew chapter 6,

00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:02.139
 which tells us

00:15:02.139 --> 00:15:03.120
 of the uselessness

00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:04.320
 of storing up

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:05.120
 treasures on earth

00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.320
 where moth and rust

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:06.799
 destroy,

00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:08.700
 but to seek first

00:15:08.700 --> 00:15:09.399
 his kingdom

00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.100
 and his righteousness.

00:15:12.860 --> 00:15:14.240
 Or suppose we are

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:14.879
 discouraged

00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.019
 by taking a stand

00:15:17.019 --> 00:15:18.100
 for Christ publicly

00:15:18.100 --> 00:15:19.539
 or continually doing

00:15:19.539 --> 00:15:20.299
 the right thing,

00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:22.360
 we are still discouraged

00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.480
 because we don't

00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:24.980
 think it makes

00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:25.659
 any difference.

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.059
 Well, we could just

00:15:29.059 --> 00:15:29.839
 give up doing

00:15:29.839 --> 00:15:30.500
 the right thing.

00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:32.980
 Or, as Matthew

00:15:32.980 --> 00:15:34.620
 chapter 5 says

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:36.159
 in verse 11,

00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:37.159
 Blessed are you

00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:38.539
 when people insult you,

00:15:39.219 --> 00:15:40.019
 persecute you,

00:15:40.079 --> 00:15:40.939
 and falsely say

00:15:40.939 --> 00:15:41.860
 all kinds of evil

00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:42.500
 against you

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:43.759
 because of me.

00:15:44.719 --> 00:15:46.139
 Rejoice and be glad

00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:47.360
 because great is

00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:48.299
 your reward in heaven.

00:15:48.299 --> 00:15:50.299
 For in the same way

00:15:50.299 --> 00:15:51.919
 they persecuted

00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:52.639
 the prophets

00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.079
 who were before you.

00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:56.979
 Even when we are

00:15:56.979 --> 00:15:58.039
 tempted to sin,

00:15:58.859 --> 00:15:59.699
 having a heavenly

00:15:59.699 --> 00:16:01.039
 outlook will help us.

00:16:02.059 --> 00:16:02.799
 For example,

00:16:02.979 --> 00:16:05.099
 in Psalm 139,

00:16:05.939 --> 00:16:06.819
 David says,

00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:08.459
 Search me, O God,

00:16:08.939 --> 00:16:10.259
 and know my heart.

00:16:11.059 --> 00:16:12.059
 Test me and know

00:16:12.059 --> 00:16:13.339
 my anxious thoughts.

00:16:14.199 --> 00:16:15.000
 See if there is

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:15.979
 any offensive way

00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:18.379
 in me and lead me

00:16:18.379 --> 00:16:19.899
 in the way everlasting.

00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:24.080
 Our help in times

00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:25.420
 of trouble comes

00:16:25.420 --> 00:16:25.980
 when we have

00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:27.019
 a heavenly mindset.

00:16:29.019 --> 00:16:29.899
 It's like when

00:16:29.899 --> 00:16:31.060
 training for a marathon.

00:16:31.860 --> 00:16:32.639
 The average runner

00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:33.700
 will run close to

00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:36.000
 500 miles over 16 weeks

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.080
 leading up to the big day.

00:16:37.980 --> 00:16:38.539
 There will be

00:16:38.539 --> 00:16:39.480
 early mornings,

00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:40.279
 there will be

00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:41.000
 long runs,

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:41.620
 there will be

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:42.399
 rainy runs,

00:16:42.779 --> 00:16:43.039
 there will be

00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:43.759
 hilly runs,

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.559
 there will be

00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:45.319
 really hot

00:16:45.319 --> 00:16:46.279
 and sticky runs,

00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:47.299
 there will be

00:16:47.299 --> 00:16:48.419
 blisters on your feet

00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:49.840
 and even nastier things

00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:50.939
 which I won't go into now.

00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.200
 But once you set

00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:53.819
 your mind

00:16:53.819 --> 00:16:54.720
 on running

00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:55.460
 and finishing

00:16:55.460 --> 00:16:56.139
 that run

00:16:56.139 --> 00:16:57.539
 on that one day,

00:16:58.439 --> 00:16:59.279
 that is what gets

00:16:59.279 --> 00:16:59.939
 you up early

00:16:59.939 --> 00:17:00.500
 in the morning

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:02.860
 for the runs

00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:04.480
 and drives you

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:05.240
 through the pain

00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:05.879
 of blisters,

00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:07.460
 setting your mind

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:08.079
 on the goal,

00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:09.379
 the glory

00:17:09.379 --> 00:17:10.059
 that awaits

00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:10.500
 for you

00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:11.460
 on this finish line.

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:13.960
 set your hearts

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.640
 and minds

00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:15.779
 on things above.

00:17:16.579 --> 00:17:17.059
 Look up.

00:17:21.860 --> 00:17:22.420
 Secondly,

00:17:22.840 --> 00:17:23.660
 put off.

00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:26.140
 With the benefit

00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:26.900
 of looking up,

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:28.180
 we are now equipped

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:29.559
 to put off.

00:17:36.059 --> 00:17:37.019
 Verse 5.

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:39.740
 Put to death,

00:17:40.019 --> 00:17:40.359
 therefore,

00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:41.480
 whatever belongs

00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:42.660
 to your earthly nature.

00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:44.619
 Sexual immorality,

00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:46.019
 impurity,

00:17:46.779 --> 00:17:47.099
 lust,

00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:48.740
 evil desires

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:49.460
 and greed,

00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:50.660
 which is idolatry.

00:17:52.819 --> 00:17:53.660
 When it comes

00:17:53.660 --> 00:17:54.519
 to our response

00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:55.039
 to sin,

00:17:55.420 --> 00:17:56.480
 the Bible is stark

00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:56.980
 and clear.

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.559
 We are to put it

00:17:58.559 --> 00:17:58.960
 to death.

00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:01.180
 Put to death

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:02.119
 whatever belongs

00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:03.220
 to your earthly nature.

00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:05.259
 What's our earthly nature?

00:18:05.259 --> 00:18:06.019
 Well,

00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:07.759
 things that feel good

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.859
 and natural

00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:09.839
 and normal

00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.859
 and things that we are told

00:18:12.859 --> 00:18:13.740
 are normal

00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:14.519
 and natural

00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:15.240
 and good.

00:18:15.879 --> 00:18:16.960
 That's our sinful nature.

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.940
 That's our earthly nature.

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:19.759
 Well,

00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:20.660
 as we know,

00:18:21.140 --> 00:18:22.200
 not all things

00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:23.640
 that feel natural

00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.099
 are good.

00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:27.660
 Paul says

00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:28.359
 that as Christians

00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:29.339
 we no longer

00:18:29.339 --> 00:18:30.400
 need to take

00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:31.519
 the bait of sin.

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:35.920
 of what feels natural

00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:37.359
 or our sinful nature.

00:18:39.859 --> 00:18:40.960
 We are freed

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:42.500
 from that compulsion

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:43.039
 to sin.

00:18:43.879 --> 00:18:45.039
 Believers can reject

00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:46.700
 all those behaviours

00:18:46.700 --> 00:18:48.119
 that alienate them

00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:48.839
 from each other

00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:50.220
 and from God.

00:18:52.420 --> 00:18:53.019
 Because

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:54.160
 when we died

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:54.819
 in Christ

00:18:54.819 --> 00:18:55.779
 we died

00:18:55.779 --> 00:18:56.500
 to the power

00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:56.980
 of sin

00:18:56.980 --> 00:18:57.680
 over us

00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:58.740
 and that power

00:18:58.740 --> 00:18:59.559
 was replaced

00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:00.579
 with the power

00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:01.960
 of the Holy Spirit

00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:04.379
 which enables us

00:19:04.379 --> 00:19:05.119
 to reject

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.279
 sinful behaviour.

00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:10.619
 Verse 5 says

00:19:10.619 --> 00:19:11.480
 to put to death

00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:11.899
 therefore

00:19:11.899 --> 00:19:12.679
 whatever belongs

00:19:12.679 --> 00:19:13.679
 to your earthly nature

00:19:13.679 --> 00:19:15.079
 sexual immorality

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:16.039
 impurity

00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:16.639
 lust

00:19:16.639 --> 00:19:17.539
 evil desires

00:19:17.539 --> 00:19:17.960
 and greed

00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:18.859
 which is idolatry.

00:19:19.419 --> 00:19:20.240
 Because of these

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.019
 the wrath of God

00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:21.460
 is coming.

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:23.159
 You used to walk

00:19:23.159 --> 00:19:23.899
 in those ways

00:19:23.899 --> 00:19:24.679
 in these ways

00:19:24.679 --> 00:19:25.399
 in the life

00:19:25.399 --> 00:19:26.159
 you once lived

00:19:26.159 --> 00:19:26.940
 but now

00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:28.380
 you must read yourself

00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:29.620
 of all such things

00:19:29.620 --> 00:19:30.160
 as these

00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:30.940
 anger

00:19:30.940 --> 00:19:31.820
 rage

00:19:31.820 --> 00:19:32.460
 malice

00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:33.200
 slander

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:34.420
 filthy language

00:19:34.420 --> 00:19:35.080
 from your lips.

00:19:38.820 --> 00:19:39.720
 When we look

00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:40.519
 at a list like this

00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:41.660
 we can be tempted

00:19:41.660 --> 00:19:43.160
 to start counting up

00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:43.460
 well

00:19:43.460 --> 00:19:45.480
 one and a half

00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:46.460
 out of five

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:47.460
 in the first list

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:47.860
 and

00:19:47.860 --> 00:19:49.100
 two out of five

00:19:49.100 --> 00:19:50.019
 in the second list

00:19:50.019 --> 00:19:51.299
 well that's not too bad

00:19:51.299 --> 00:19:51.840
 really is it?

00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:53.100
 That's nearly a pass.

00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:55.480
 Well that's not the point

00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:55.720
 though.

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:57.839
 Let's look at

00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.640
 the first list.

00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:01.099
 Verse five again

00:20:01.099 --> 00:20:03.339
 sexual immorality

00:20:03.339 --> 00:20:04.860
 impurity

00:20:04.860 --> 00:20:05.920
 lust

00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:07.360
 evil desires

00:20:07.360 --> 00:20:08.039
 and greed

00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:10.220
 it's no accident

00:20:10.220 --> 00:20:11.380
 that these are listed

00:20:11.380 --> 00:20:12.400
 in order of

00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:13.759
 most visible

00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:15.559
 to the least visible.

00:20:16.900 --> 00:20:18.079
 So Paul begins

00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:18.380
 with

00:20:18.380 --> 00:20:19.799
 public

00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:21.220
 sexual immorality.

00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:26.920
 which was rampant

00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:27.539
 in the ancient

00:20:27.539 --> 00:20:28.420
 pagan world.

00:20:30.059 --> 00:20:30.779
 He moves

00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:31.100
 from

00:20:31.100 --> 00:20:32.200
 behaviours

00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:32.660
 to

00:20:32.660 --> 00:20:33.259
 attitudes

00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:35.460
 including

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:35.900
 greed

00:20:35.900 --> 00:20:37.900
 which focuses

00:20:37.900 --> 00:20:38.940
 on satisfying

00:20:38.940 --> 00:20:40.200
 physical desires.

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.460
 He concludes

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:43.079
 by saying

00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:43.559
 that if we

00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:44.180
 trace back

00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:45.140
 from the behaviour

00:20:45.140 --> 00:20:46.600
 to the motivation

00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:47.380
 behind it

00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:48.299
 we find

00:20:48.299 --> 00:20:49.319
 idolatry

00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:49.939
 at the core.

00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:52.539
 By focusing

00:20:52.539 --> 00:20:53.419
 inwardly

00:20:53.419 --> 00:20:54.339
 on satisfying

00:20:54.339 --> 00:20:55.099
 our physical

00:20:55.099 --> 00:20:55.740
 passions

00:20:55.740 --> 00:20:57.079
 well that

00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:57.679
 amounts to

00:20:57.679 --> 00:20:58.700
 placing ourselves

00:20:58.700 --> 00:20:59.599
 at the centre

00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:01.359
 instead of God.

00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:04.139
 Therefore

00:21:04.139 --> 00:21:04.839
 if we want

00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:05.659
 to bring about

00:21:05.659 --> 00:21:06.419
 change in the

00:21:06.419 --> 00:21:07.740
 public behavioural

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:08.279
 level

00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:09.859
 of our lives

00:21:09.859 --> 00:21:10.559
 we have to

00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:11.659
 ultimately kill

00:21:11.659 --> 00:21:13.259
 that which led

00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:14.119
 to it all

00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:14.980
 in the first place

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:15.960
 which is

00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:16.579
 idolatry.

00:21:16.579 --> 00:21:20.159
 as with

00:21:20.159 --> 00:21:20.480
 weeds

00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:20.759
 in the

00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:21.079
 garden

00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:22.079
 simply

00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:22.699
 snapping

00:21:22.699 --> 00:21:23.159
 off the

00:21:23.159 --> 00:21:23.460
 shoots

00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:24.439
 will not

00:21:24.439 --> 00:21:24.720
 make

00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:25.119
 permanent

00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:25.679
 changes.

00:21:26.659 --> 00:21:27.240
 The gardener

00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:27.759
 must dig

00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:28.220
 out the

00:21:28.220 --> 00:21:28.480
 roots

00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:29.000
 for any

00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:29.519
 lasting

00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:30.079
 results.

00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:33.139
 So I

00:21:33.139 --> 00:21:33.460
 ask you

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:33.960
 this morning

00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:35.879
 what's

00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:36.039
 your

00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:36.299
 idol?

00:21:40.199 --> 00:21:40.839
 The

00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:41.539
 second list

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:43.259
 starts

00:21:43.259 --> 00:21:43.460
 with

00:21:43.460 --> 00:21:43.779
 anger.

00:21:43.779 --> 00:21:43.819
 anger.

00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:45.460
 The

00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:45.759
 public

00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:46.440
 demonstration

00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:46.879
 of which

00:21:46.879 --> 00:21:47.099
 is

00:21:47.099 --> 00:21:47.660
 rage.

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:49.019
 And he

00:21:49.019 --> 00:21:49.480
 goes on

00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:49.680
 to the

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:49.879
 more

00:21:49.879 --> 00:21:50.180
 subtle

00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:50.559
 forms

00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:50.720
 of

00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:50.960
 anger

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:51.299
 such

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:51.639
 as

00:21:51.639 --> 00:21:52.680
 slander.

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:54.399
 Well in

00:21:54.399 --> 00:21:54.920
 each case

00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:55.379
 what comes

00:21:55.379 --> 00:21:55.819
 from a

00:21:55.819 --> 00:21:56.680
 person's

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:57.019
 mouth

00:21:57.019 --> 00:21:58.000
 dishonours

00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:58.619
 or pollutes

00:21:58.619 --> 00:21:58.859
 them.

00:22:08.139 --> 00:22:08.940
 As new

00:22:08.940 --> 00:22:09.500
 creations

00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:09.879
 the

00:22:09.879 --> 00:22:11.180
 Colossians

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:11.559
 are to

00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:11.759
 rid

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.220
 themselves

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:12.620
 or to

00:22:12.620 --> 00:22:13.299
 put off

00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:13.779
 their

00:22:13.779 --> 00:22:14.140
 old

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:14.640
 repulsive

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:15.120
 habits

00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:16.220
 including

00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:16.980
 evil

00:22:16.980 --> 00:22:17.500
 speech.

00:22:18.819 --> 00:22:19.180
 Anger

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:19.779
 and rage

00:22:19.779 --> 00:22:20.339
 destroy

00:22:20.339 --> 00:22:20.900
 harmony

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:21.539
 in human

00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:22.220
 relationships.

00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:23.160
 Malice

00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:23.860
 is a

00:22:23.860 --> 00:22:24.120
 general

00:22:24.120 --> 00:22:24.500
 term

00:22:24.500 --> 00:22:25.059
 describing

00:22:25.059 --> 00:22:25.640
 an evil

00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:26.100
 force

00:22:26.100 --> 00:22:26.339
 that

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:26.660
 wrecks

00:22:26.660 --> 00:22:27.140
 fellowship.

00:22:30.120 --> 00:22:30.839
 Slander

00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:31.360
 in this

00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:31.720
 passage

00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:32.279
 means the

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:32.799
 insulting

00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:33.900
 of human

00:22:33.900 --> 00:22:34.460
 character.

00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:36.019
 Filthy

00:22:36.019 --> 00:22:36.500
 language

00:22:36.500 --> 00:22:36.900
 ought to

00:22:36.900 --> 00:22:37.059
 be

00:22:37.059 --> 00:22:37.440
 stopped

00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:37.779
 before

00:22:37.779 --> 00:22:37.960
 it

00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:38.140
 even

00:22:38.140 --> 00:22:38.440
 comes

00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:38.620
 out

00:22:38.620 --> 00:22:38.740
 of

00:22:38.740 --> 00:22:38.880
 their

00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:39.279
 mouths.

00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.480
 In

00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:41.899
 light of

00:22:41.899 --> 00:22:42.099
 this

00:22:42.099 --> 00:22:42.279
 what

00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:42.559
 comes

00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:42.759
 out

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:42.879
 of

00:22:42.879 --> 00:22:43.019
 our

00:22:43.019 --> 00:22:43.319
 mouths

00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:43.539
 is

00:22:43.539 --> 00:22:43.960
 important

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:44.460
 and so

00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:45.319
 there

00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:45.480
 is

00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:45.660
 no

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:46.019
 place

00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:46.220
 for

00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:46.559
 lying.

00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:57.500
 If we

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:57.879
 are

00:22:57.879 --> 00:22:59.240
 Christ's

00:22:59.240 --> 00:22:59.460
 image

00:22:59.460 --> 00:23:00.000
 bearers

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:01.859
 well then

00:23:01.859 --> 00:23:02.279
 we must

00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:02.839
 be truthful.

00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:12.039
 so this

00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:12.419
 morning

00:23:12.419 --> 00:23:14.220
 if you

00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:14.419
 are

00:23:14.419 --> 00:23:14.879
 a

00:23:14.879 --> 00:23:15.179
 Christian

00:23:15.179 --> 00:23:16.740
 you

00:23:16.740 --> 00:23:17.039
 probably

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.379
 at one

00:23:17.379 --> 00:23:17.599
 time

00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:18.000
 praised

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:18.179
 the

00:23:18.179 --> 00:23:18.459
 prayer

00:23:18.459 --> 00:23:18.659
 of

00:23:18.659 --> 00:23:19.039
 repentance

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:19.319
 and

00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:19.599
 asked

00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:19.879
 Jesus

00:23:19.879 --> 00:23:20.139
 to

00:23:20.139 --> 00:23:20.379
 forgive

00:23:20.379 --> 00:23:20.579
 you

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:20.740
 of

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:20.899
 your

00:23:20.899 --> 00:23:21.259
 sins.

00:23:21.939 --> 00:23:22.139
 Well

00:23:22.139 --> 00:23:22.299
 this

00:23:22.299 --> 00:23:22.459
 is

00:23:22.459 --> 00:23:22.699
 good.

00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:23.439
 I

00:23:23.439 --> 00:23:23.639
 give

00:23:23.639 --> 00:23:24.039
 thanks

00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:24.220
 that

00:23:24.220 --> 00:23:24.500
 many

00:23:24.500 --> 00:23:24.699
 of

00:23:24.699 --> 00:23:24.819
 you

00:23:24.819 --> 00:23:25.000
 have

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:25.259
 reached

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:25.480
 that

00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:25.759
 point.

00:23:26.439 --> 00:23:26.679
 But

00:23:26.679 --> 00:23:26.819
 the

00:23:26.819 --> 00:23:27.139
 Christian

00:23:27.139 --> 00:23:27.439
 life

00:23:27.439 --> 00:23:27.659
 is

00:23:27.659 --> 00:23:28.639
 not

00:23:28.639 --> 00:23:28.859
 a

00:23:28.859 --> 00:23:29.139
 one

00:23:29.139 --> 00:23:29.359
 off

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:29.759
 decision

00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:30.059
 to

00:23:30.059 --> 00:23:30.399
 repent

00:23:30.399 --> 00:23:30.759
 of

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:30.939
 your

00:23:30.939 --> 00:23:31.240
 sins

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:31.459
 and

00:23:31.459 --> 00:23:31.779
 carry

00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:32.000
 on

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:32.240
 life

00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:32.419
 as

00:23:32.419 --> 00:23:32.699
 normal.

00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:34.019
 Our

00:23:34.019 --> 00:23:34.500
 daily

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:34.959
 lives

00:23:35.159 --> 00:23:35.859
 changed

00:23:37.339 --> 00:23:37.899

00:23:37.899 --> 00:23:38.339

00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:39.659
 We

00:23:39.659 --> 00:23:39.859
 cannot

00:23:39.859 --> 00:23:40.259

00:23:40.259 --> 00:23:40.459
 like

00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:40.759

00:24:14.860 --> 00:24:15.660
 once you

00:24:22.040 --> 00:24:36.340

00:25:56.899 --> 00:25:57.240
 problem

00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:57.559
 was

00:25:57.559 --> 00:25:57.759
 that

00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.279
 they

00:25:58.279 --> 00:25:58.619
 didn't

00:25:58.619 --> 00:25:59.099
 believe

00:25:59.099 --> 00:25:59.460

00:25:59.460 --> 00:25:59.899
 had

00:26:00.419 --> 00:26:02.480
 they

00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:02.659
 just

00:26:02.659 --> 00:26:02.799
 had

00:26:06.139 --> 00:26:07.619
 a

00:26:07.619 --> 00:26:07.819
 little

00:26:08.099 --> 00:26:08.339
 cap

00:26:08.339 --> 00:26:08.700
 to help

00:26:08.700 --> 00:26:08.919
 them

00:26:08.919 --> 00:26:09.759
 unwind

00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:10.039
 and

00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:10.240
 to

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:10.599
 sleep

00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:12.579
 by

00:26:12.579 --> 00:26:12.740
 the

00:26:12.740 --> 00:26:13.000
 time

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:13.159
 they

00:26:13.159 --> 00:26:13.439
 left

00:26:13.439 --> 00:26:13.639
 the

 centre

00:26:13.899 --> 00:26:14.199
 they

00:26:14.199 --> 00:26:14.859
 hadn't

00:26:14.859 --> 00:26:15.839
 had a

00:26:16.459 --> 00:26:16.879
 and so

00:26:16.879 --> 00:26:17.399
 they

00:26:17.399 --> 00:26:17.619
 didn't

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:18.000
 feel like

00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:18.119
 they

00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:18.339
 needed

00:26:20.199 --> 00:26:20.299
 was

00:26:20.299 --> 00:26:20.599
 great

00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:22.259
 for a

00:26:26.339 --> 00:26:26.539
 could

00:26:26.539 --> 00:26:26.919
 easily

00:26:26.919 --> 00:26:27.159
 say

 no

 whatever

00:26:32.919 --> 00:26:33.319
 reason

 put

 which

00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:08.980

 unity

00:30:11.340 --> 00:30:15.680
 now

00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:17.440
 if

00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:17.660
 all

00:30:17.660 --> 00:30:17.840
 we

00:30:17.840 --> 00:30:18.140
 did

00:30:18.140 --> 00:30:18.580
 was

00:30:18.580 --> 00:30:18.800
 to

00:30:18.800 --> 00:30:19.240
 take

00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:19.720
 everything

00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:20.220
 off

00:30:20.220 --> 00:30:20.420
 in

00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:20.580
 our

00:30:20.580 --> 00:30:20.940
 lives

00:30:20.940 --> 00:30:21.240
 and

00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:21.820
 chastise

00:30:21.820 --> 00:30:22.259
 ourselves

00:30:22.259 --> 00:30:22.500
 all

00:30:22.500 --> 00:30:22.640
 the

00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:22.920
 time

00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:23.120
 and

00:30:23.120 --> 00:30:23.740
 criticise

00:30:23.740 --> 00:30:24.200
 ourselves

00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:24.480
 well

00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:24.759
 then

00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:24.960
 we

00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:25.160
 would

00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:25.299
 be

00:30:25.299 --> 00:30:25.600
 left

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:26.019
 naked

00:30:26.019 --> 00:30:27.620
 so to

00:30:27.620 --> 00:30:27.940
 speak

00:30:27.940 --> 00:30:29.519
 we've

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:29.759
 taken

00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:30.100
 everything

00:30:30.100 --> 00:30:30.420
 off

00:30:30.420 --> 00:30:30.740
 and are

00:30:30.740 --> 00:30:31.019
 left

00:30:31.019 --> 00:30:31.360
 bare

00:30:31.360 --> 00:30:32.000
 and

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:32.340
 naked

00:30:32.340 --> 00:30:33.440
 but

00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:33.900
 thankfully

00:30:33.900 --> 00:30:34.320
 Paul

00:30:34.320 --> 00:30:34.640
 doesn't

00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:34.960
 leave it

00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:35.180
 there

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:35.960
 I was

00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:36.279
 planning

00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:36.680
 on just

00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:37.039
 speaking

00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:37.360
 about

00:30:37.360 --> 00:30:37.680
 dealing

00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:37.920
 with

00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:38.240
 sin

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:38.480
 this

00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:38.759
 morning

00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:38.980
 and

00:30:38.980 --> 00:30:39.140
 the

00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:39.559
 importance

00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:39.820
 of

00:30:39.820 --> 00:30:40.180
 taking

00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:40.580
 off

00:30:40.580 --> 00:30:41.059
 or

00:30:41.059 --> 00:30:41.400
 putting

00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:41.600
 to

00:30:41.600 --> 00:30:41.820
 death

00:30:41.820 --> 00:30:42.140
 sin

00:30:42.140 --> 00:30:43.140
 but

00:30:43.140 --> 00:30:43.299
 of

00:30:43.299 --> 00:30:43.500
 course

00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:43.680
 I

00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:44.059
 couldn't

00:30:44.059 --> 00:30:44.259
 just

00:30:44.259 --> 00:30:44.480
 leave

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:44.600
 it

00:30:44.600 --> 00:30:44.840
 there

00:30:44.840 --> 00:30:46.180
 because

00:30:46.180 --> 00:30:46.400
 we'd

00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:46.519
 all

00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:46.799
 go home

00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:47.100
 naked

00:30:47.100 --> 00:30:47.440
 and

00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:47.580
 that

00:30:47.580 --> 00:30:47.720
 would

00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:47.860
 be

00:30:47.860 --> 00:30:48.240
 awkward

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.640
 you can

00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:52.860
 laugh

00:30:52.860 --> 00:30:53.100
 if you

00:30:53.100 --> 00:30:53.340
 like

00:30:53.340 --> 00:30:54.080
 thanks

00:30:54.080 --> 00:30:55.799
 it

00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:55.920
 would

00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:56.059
 be

00:30:56.059 --> 00:30:56.400
 awkward

00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:57.539
 well

00:30:57.539 --> 00:30:58.259
 thankfully

00:30:58.259 --> 00:30:58.740
 Paul

00:30:58.740 --> 00:30:59.519
 doesn't

00:30:59.519 --> 00:30:59.920
 leave us

00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:00.240
 naked

00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:01.100
 and cold

00:31:01.100 --> 00:31:01.779
 and feeling

00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:02.200
 vulnerable

00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:03.500
 he tells

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:03.940
 us to

00:31:03.940 --> 00:31:04.740
 clothe

00:31:04.740 --> 00:31:05.259
 ourselves

00:31:05.259 --> 00:31:06.539
 to put

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:06.860
 on

00:31:06.860 --> 00:31:11.080
 look at

00:31:11.080 --> 00:31:11.460
 the passage

00:31:11.460 --> 00:31:11.840
 again

00:31:11.840 --> 00:31:14.120
 therefore

00:31:14.120 --> 00:31:14.740
 as God's

00:31:14.740 --> 00:31:15.059

00:31:17.019 --> 00:31:17.940
 clothe

00:31:17.940 --> 00:31:18.319
 yourselves

00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:18.580
 with

00:31:18.580 --> 00:31:19.180
 compassion

00:31:19.180 --> 00:31:20.019
 kindness

 humility

00:31:20.580 --> 00:31:21.120
 gentleness

00:31:21.360 --> 00:31:21.720
 patience

00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:25.460
 do you

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:25.840
 see that

 titles

00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:39.859
 which

00:31:39.859 --> 00:31:40.899
 were used

00:31:40.899 --> 00:31:41.559
 of Israel

00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:42.480

00:31:44.619 --> 00:31:46.680
 and they

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:47.200
 are titles

00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:47.659
 that are

00:31:47.659 --> 00:31:48.000
 used

00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.279
 for Jesus

00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:49.859
 in the

00:31:49.859 --> 00:31:50.419
 New Testament

00:31:50.419 --> 00:31:53.579
 they are

00:31:53.579 --> 00:31:54.000
 used to

00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:54.399
 show how

00:31:54.399 --> 00:31:54.859
 similar

00:31:54.859 --> 00:31:55.700
 we as

00:31:55.700 --> 00:31:56.099
 Christians

00:31:56.099 --> 00:31:56.680
 are to

00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:57.099
 Christ

00:31:57.099 --> 00:31:58.839
 it is

00:31:58.839 --> 00:31:59.240
 Jesus

00:31:59.240 --> 00:31:59.759
 who is

00:32:01.500 --> 00:32:01.779
 it is

00:32:01.779 --> 00:32:01.919
 an

 more

00:32:06.539 --> 00:32:07.119
 motivation

00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:07.500
 do we

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:07.839
 need

00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:08.919
 to behave

 in a

00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:13.859
 these

00:32:13.859 --> 00:32:14.439
 virtues

 or these

00:32:15.299 --> 00:32:15.779
 graces

00:32:15.779 --> 00:32:17.539
 which we

00:32:17.539 --> 00:32:18.000
 are to be

00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:18.779
 closed with

00:32:18.779 --> 00:32:19.899
 are seen

00:32:19.899 --> 00:32:20.439
 elsewhere

00:32:20.439 --> 00:32:20.759
 as

00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:21.459
 characteristics

00:32:21.459 --> 00:32:22.279
 of God

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:23.459
 or Christ

00:32:23.460 --> 00:32:24.500
 and they

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:25.079
 show us

00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:25.779
 how we

00:32:25.779 --> 00:32:26.360
 should behave

00:32:26.360 --> 00:32:26.680
 in our

00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:27.039
 dealings

00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:27.500
 with others

00:32:27.500 --> 00:32:27.960
 particularly

00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:28.700
 other

00:32:28.700 --> 00:32:29.240
 believers

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:31.940
 three of

00:32:31.940 --> 00:32:32.240
 these

00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:33.319
 kindness

00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:34.519
 gentleness

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:35.400
 and patience

00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:38.700
 are listed

00:32:38.700 --> 00:32:39.360
 in Galatians

00:32:39.360 --> 00:32:40.160
 chapter 5

00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:40.960
 as

00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:42.180
 fruits of

00:32:42.180 --> 00:32:42.779
 the spirit

00:32:42.779 --> 00:32:44.519
 in fact

00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:45.019
 all of

00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:45.420
 them are

00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:46.140
 characteristics

00:32:46.140 --> 00:32:47.279
 that we

00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:48.340
 show towards

00:32:48.340 --> 00:32:48.980
 other people

00:32:48.980 --> 00:32:51.000
 they're all

00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:51.420
 things that

00:32:51.420 --> 00:32:52.700
 we do

00:32:52.700 --> 00:32:53.620
 towards

00:32:53.620 --> 00:32:54.339
 other people

00:32:54.339 --> 00:32:55.980
 Paul is

00:32:55.980 --> 00:32:56.500
 showing us

00:32:56.500 --> 00:32:57.279
 how we

00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:57.680
 should be

00:32:57.680 --> 00:32:58.380
 relating to

00:32:58.380 --> 00:32:58.799
 each other

00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:00.700
 he has

00:33:00.700 --> 00:33:01.019
 just been

00:33:01.019 --> 00:33:01.620
 writing

00:33:01.620 --> 00:33:08.819
 so he's

00:33:08.819 --> 00:33:09.279
 been talking

00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:09.700
 about in

00:33:09.700 --> 00:33:10.220
 verse 11

00:33:10.220 --> 00:33:10.720
 here there

00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:11.079
 is no

00:33:11.079 --> 00:33:11.700
 gentile

00:33:11.700 --> 00:33:12.579
 or jew

00:33:12.579 --> 00:33:13.960
 circumcised

00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:15.220
 or uncircumcised

00:33:15.220 --> 00:33:16.240
 barbarian

00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:16.700
 slave

00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:18.480
 or free

00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:19.079
 but Christ

00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:19.720
 is all

00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:20.259
 and is

00:33:20.259 --> 00:33:20.720
 in all

00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:27.200
 so Paul

00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:27.539
 is showing

00:33:27.539 --> 00:33:27.819
 us how

00:33:27.819 --> 00:33:28.079
 we should

00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:28.200
 be

00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:28.559
 relating

00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:28.980
 to each

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:29.200
 other

00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:30.880
 he's

00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:31.180
 just been

00:33:31.180 --> 00:33:31.460
 writing

00:33:31.460 --> 00:33:31.920
 about the

00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:32.360
 social

00:33:32.360 --> 00:33:33.019
 racial

00:33:33.019 --> 00:33:33.960
 and ethnic

00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:34.519
 differences

00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:36.579
 that should

00:33:36.579 --> 00:33:37.339
 not divide

00:33:37.339 --> 00:33:38.180
 the people

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:38.680
 of God

00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:41.860
 he's been

00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:42.220
 saying that

00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:42.900
 lying can

00:33:42.900 --> 00:33:43.500
 affect the

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:44.220
 whole community

00:33:44.220 --> 00:33:45.000
 of believers

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:46.860
 and here we

00:33:46.860 --> 00:33:47.240
 are with

00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:47.920
 these five

00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:48.400
 graces

00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:49.460
 which also

00:33:49.460 --> 00:33:50.019
 tell us

00:33:50.019 --> 00:33:50.640
 that we

00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:50.960
 are to

00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:51.460
 clothe

00:33:51.460 --> 00:33:51.940
 ourselves

00:33:51.940 --> 00:33:52.860
 with those

00:33:52.860 --> 00:33:53.280
 things

00:33:53.280 --> 00:33:54.019
 which are

00:33:54.019 --> 00:33:54.740
 Christ-like

00:33:54.740 --> 00:33:57.220
 and important

00:33:57.220 --> 00:33:58.060
 for the unity

00:33:58.060 --> 00:33:58.820
 of Christian

00:33:58.820 --> 00:33:59.380
 community

00:33:59.380 --> 00:34:01.400
 Paul was

00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:01.820
 thinking of

00:34:01.820 --> 00:34:02.259
 the whole

00:34:02.259 --> 00:34:02.759
 body of

00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:03.140
 Christ

00:34:03.140 --> 00:34:03.759
 and the

00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:04.240
 importance

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:04.759
 of its

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:05.120
 unity

00:34:05.120 --> 00:34:08.840
 bear with

00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:09.820
 each other

00:34:09.820 --> 00:34:11.519
 and forgive

00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:12.059
 whatever

00:34:12.059 --> 00:34:12.800
 grievances

00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:13.680
 you have

00:34:13.680 --> 00:34:14.000
 with

00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:14.940
 each other

00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:17.179
 and then

00:34:17.179 --> 00:34:17.659
 comes the

00:34:17.659 --> 00:34:17.860
 sucker

00:34:17.860 --> 00:34:18.300
 punch

00:34:18.300 --> 00:34:19.480
 the ground

00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:19.800
 and the

00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:20.079
 motive

00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:20.500
 for

00:34:20.500 --> 00:34:21.039
 forgiving

00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:22.360
 is

00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:23.800
 just as

00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:24.159
 Christ

00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:24.619
 forgave

00:34:24.619 --> 00:34:24.900
 you

00:34:24.900 --> 00:34:28.139
 our sin

00:34:28.139 --> 00:34:29.059
 put Christ

00:34:29.059 --> 00:34:29.900
 on a cross

00:34:29.900 --> 00:34:30.400
 where he

00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:30.720
 died

00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:32.359
 and when

00:34:32.359 --> 00:34:32.799
 he was

00:34:32.799 --> 00:34:33.000
 there

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:33.539
 he said

00:34:33.539 --> 00:34:34.619
 father

00:34:34.619 --> 00:34:35.099
 forgive

00:34:35.099 --> 00:34:35.399
 them

00:34:35.399 --> 00:34:36.239
 they don't

00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:36.619
 know what

00:34:36.619 --> 00:34:36.799
 they're

00:34:36.799 --> 00:34:37.099
 doing

00:34:37.099 --> 00:34:39.679
 if we have

00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:40.279
 a disagreement

00:34:40.279 --> 00:34:40.959
 with someone

00:34:40.959 --> 00:34:41.519
 in the church

00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:42.219
 we need to

00:34:42.219 --> 00:34:42.899
 forgive them

00:34:42.899 --> 00:34:44.439
 because Jesus

00:34:44.439 --> 00:34:45.219
 forgave us

00:34:45.219 --> 00:34:47.039
 but also

00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:47.599
 because we

00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:48.259
 need each

00:34:48.259 --> 00:34:48.659
 other to

00:34:48.659 --> 00:34:49.179
 hold us

00:34:49.179 --> 00:34:49.579
 up when

00:34:49.579 --> 00:34:50.199
 we fall

00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:50.519
 and when

00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:51.059
 we stumble

00:34:51.059 --> 00:34:55.399
 one major

00:34:55.399 --> 00:34:56.059
 step in

00:34:56.059 --> 00:34:56.559
 overcoming

00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:57.000
 addiction

00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:58.259
 is meeting

00:34:58.259 --> 00:34:58.739
 regularly

00:34:58.739 --> 00:34:59.419
 with other

00:34:59.419 --> 00:35:00.679
 addicts

00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:01.899
 through

00:35:01.899 --> 00:35:02.519
 anonymous

00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:03.039
 meetings

00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:04.079
 or through

00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:04.739
 sponsoring

00:35:04.739 --> 00:35:05.500
 programs

00:35:05.500 --> 00:35:06.659
 the sponsoring

00:35:06.659 --> 00:35:07.419
 program is

00:35:07.419 --> 00:35:08.239
 like having

00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:08.779
 an accountability

00:35:08.779 --> 00:35:09.559
 partner

00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:10.619
 someone you

00:35:10.619 --> 00:35:11.019
 can ring

00:35:11.019 --> 00:35:11.500
 in times

00:35:11.500 --> 00:35:12.000
 of weakness

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:12.759
 or craving

00:35:12.759 --> 00:35:13.839
 someone who

00:35:13.839 --> 00:35:14.379
 knows what

00:35:14.379 --> 00:35:14.739
 you're going

00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:15.339
 through because

00:35:15.339 --> 00:35:16.039
 they have

00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:16.399
 been there

00:35:16.399 --> 00:35:16.639
 too

00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:18.459
 someone who

00:35:18.459 --> 00:35:19.059
 has benefited

00:35:19.059 --> 00:35:19.559
 from the

00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:20.119
 encouragement

00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:20.759
 of another

00:35:20.759 --> 00:35:23.059
 both of

00:35:23.059 --> 00:35:23.659
 these methods

00:35:23.659 --> 00:35:24.639
 of ongoing

00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:25.179
 accountability

00:35:25.179 --> 00:35:26.059
 are vital

00:35:26.059 --> 00:35:26.799
 for the

00:35:26.799 --> 00:35:27.319
 continuing

00:35:27.319 --> 00:35:27.859
 health

00:35:27.859 --> 00:35:28.679
 of the

00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:29.000
 addict

00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.419
 I hope

00:35:31.419 --> 00:35:31.779
 by now

00:35:31.779 --> 00:35:32.219
 you've seen

00:35:32.219 --> 00:35:32.879
 the correlation

00:35:32.879 --> 00:35:35.019
 to deal

00:35:35.019 --> 00:35:35.659
 with sin

00:35:35.659 --> 00:35:36.479
 effectively

00:35:36.479 --> 00:35:37.639
 we must

00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:37.979
 put it

00:35:37.979 --> 00:35:38.419
 to death

00:35:38.419 --> 00:35:40.099
 there can

00:35:40.099 --> 00:35:40.439
 be no

00:35:40.439 --> 00:35:41.279
 half measures

00:35:41.279 --> 00:35:44.079
 but we

00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:44.699
 must also

00:35:44.699 --> 00:35:45.559
 put on

00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:46.679
 the clothing

00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:47.079
 that has

00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:47.659
 been offered

00:35:47.659 --> 00:35:48.400
 to us

00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:49.840
 surround

00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:50.440
 ourselves

00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:50.940
 with the

00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:51.299
 fellowship

00:35:51.299 --> 00:35:51.840
 of other

00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:52.239
 believers

00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:52.759
 as we

00:35:52.759 --> 00:35:53.159
 navigate

00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:53.739
 life

00:35:53.739 --> 00:35:54.699
 after

00:35:54.699 --> 00:35:55.400
 repentance

00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:56.519
 turning

00:35:56.519 --> 00:35:56.779
 away

00:35:56.779 --> 00:35:57.259
 from sin

00:35:57.260 --> 00:36:02.380
 we

00:36:02.380 --> 00:36:02.820
 say it

00:36:02.820 --> 00:36:03.360
 time and

00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:03.900
 time again

00:36:03.900 --> 00:36:04.580
 that God
