00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:17.320
 Good morning.

00:00:18.539 --> 00:00:19.300
 Am I on?

00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:20.120
 Good morning.

00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:21.820
 Happy New Year's.

00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:23.740
 It's good to see you all.

00:00:26.379 --> 00:00:28.060
 It's not that cold out, is it?

00:00:28.059 --> 00:00:30.379
 Maybe it is.

00:00:31.059 --> 00:00:33.280
 I think today it qualifies as really cold.

00:00:37.179 --> 00:00:42.840
 Some of my best favorite stories have it in it.

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.619
 Bilbo Baggins runs out the door without his handkerchief.

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.719
 Harry Potter shows up at the nine and three quarters platform at the train station.

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:00.579
 Lucy pushes her way through the back of the wardrobe.

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:11.079
 All of them on the brink of something that they have not yet seen, encountered, or experienced.

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.259
 They're going into an adventure.

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:20.759
 They're facing something that is unknown and they don't know what lies ahead.

00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.500
 If they knew what would lie ahead, they would probably be afraid.

00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.800
 If they knew what would lie ahead, they might be tempted to turn back.

00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.880
 They might say, no, I don't know what I'm going to find on the other side of this.

00:01:38.620 --> 00:01:43.219
 I think I'd rather go back home and sit in my hobbit hole, smoke my pipe weed,

00:01:43.219 --> 00:01:48.780
 or go back and play with my brothers and sisters in the professor's mansion.

00:01:52.219 --> 00:01:55.760
 These kinds of things happen in our lives as well, don't they?

00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.960
 You go to the first day of a new school year at a new school where you don't know anybody.

00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:04.859
 What is it going to look like?

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:05.759
 What is it going to happen?

00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:12.300
 When you move to a new town, when you stand at the altar and say, I do.

00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.780
 When you step up and take a new job in your business or in your company,

00:02:21.140 --> 00:02:24.719
 these transitions are new adventures.

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:31.819
 And though we often try to plan and try to examine and try to know ahead what's going to happen,

00:02:31.819 --> 00:02:35.400
 in fact, they are adventures into an unknown.

00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.139
 Now, some of you love this.

00:02:40.099 --> 00:02:43.560
 Some of you are made for this kind of adventure.

00:02:43.780 --> 00:02:44.919
 Give me something unknown.

00:02:45.099 --> 00:02:46.840
 Give me something that's new and different.

00:02:47.579 --> 00:02:51.139
 You get bored easily and you think, there's got to be something new around the corner.

00:02:51.259 --> 00:02:52.560
 It's worth exploring.

00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:59.340
 Some of us, maybe many of us though, shrink back.

00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:04.640
 And sometimes for those of you who have that love of new adventures,

00:03:05.379 --> 00:03:10.319
 the hardest challenges are the new adventures that occur in the place that you already are.

00:03:11.300 --> 00:03:16.800
 Where you have to rebuild or build a new relationship with your teenager as they grow up.

00:03:18.140 --> 00:03:23.480
 Where you have to develop new patterns of life in the same place

00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:30.379
 to stop continuing falling into that habitual sin that has characterized your life for so long.

00:03:31.459 --> 00:03:35.899
 You have to rebuild intimacy with your wife or husband

00:03:35.899 --> 00:03:40.879
 when you've lived together for years and years in patterns of slow decay.

00:03:43.079 --> 00:03:46.959
 Or where you walk into your work environment and you're asked to do the same job,

00:03:47.019 --> 00:03:47.979
 but to do it differently.

00:03:47.979 --> 00:03:52.679
 And you have to change in those things.

00:03:53.959 --> 00:03:59.439
 These kinds of changes, these kinds of things force us into an unknown

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:04.679
 where we often in our human nature tend to shrink back.

00:04:05.539 --> 00:04:09.500
 We tend to be afraid of what we don't know.

00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:13.259
 We feel the insecurity rising up in us.

00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:15.919
 And we wonder, how can we go on?

00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.139
 How do we do this?

00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.159
 You know, I've thought about this a lot because I've been,

00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.839
 as I've been praying for our church recently.

00:04:27.019 --> 00:04:29.560
 I wonder if there's a corporate application for us.

00:04:30.139 --> 00:04:34.740
 Many of you know, next door, probably in the next month,

00:04:35.539 --> 00:04:36.819
 permits pending,

00:04:37.539 --> 00:04:40.379
 there will be a big construction site next door.

00:04:40.379 --> 00:04:44.240
 At a congregational meeting later this spring,

00:04:44.339 --> 00:04:49.839
 we will discuss together whether we want to do our own construction project.

00:04:52.019 --> 00:04:55.439
 At Easter, we are expecting, at this point,

00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.420
 to move to two services for the rest of the spring.

00:05:00.379 --> 00:05:01.740
 We're still exploring that,

00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.100
 but we think we're probably going to do it.

00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:09.960
 There are unknowns that are facing our church.

00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:12.020
 Unknown things about our context,

00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:13.900
 unknown things about our patterns.

00:05:15.340 --> 00:05:18.080
 And it would be very easy for us to face them with fear,

00:05:18.540 --> 00:05:20.280
 to feel the insecurity,

00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:21.820
 and to want to pull back

00:05:21.820 --> 00:05:26.280
 rather than moving ahead.

00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:31.399
 I think I can say for sure that whatever this year holds,

00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:33.059
 it will not be more of the same

00:05:33.059 --> 00:05:35.939
 from what you've experienced in the last couple of years.

00:05:39.679 --> 00:05:41.459
 There'll be new territory to explore,

00:05:41.799 --> 00:05:43.219
 new encounters to engage in,

00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:44.579
 new challenges to face.

00:05:45.139 --> 00:05:46.979
 And the question is, how will we face it?

00:05:47.679 --> 00:05:49.759
 How will we face these things in our own lives?

00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.079
 How will we face them together as a church?

00:05:52.939 --> 00:05:55.519
 This brings me to my text this morning,

00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.799
 which is in the book of Joshua, chapter one.

00:05:58.180 --> 00:05:59.740
 If you want to turn in your pew Bibles,

00:06:00.039 --> 00:06:02.939
 it's page 178.

00:06:03.979 --> 00:06:06.319
 Joshua, chapter one,

00:06:06.359 --> 00:06:08.039
 we'll be looking at verses one through nine.

00:06:10.899 --> 00:06:12.099
 And as you're turning there,

00:06:12.180 --> 00:06:14.000
 because this isn't a part of a series

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.579
 and we haven't talked about the context,

00:06:16.060 --> 00:06:17.879
 remember that this is at the end

00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.579
 of the great story in the Pentateuch,

00:06:21.599 --> 00:06:23.699
 the first five books of the Bible,

00:06:23.699 --> 00:06:26.159
 of God calling a people to himself

00:06:26.159 --> 00:06:29.039
 and then doing this great act

00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:30.819
 in Exodus through Deuteronomy,

00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.800
 this great act of deliverance.

00:06:33.539 --> 00:06:35.620
 His people who lived in slavery in Egypt,

00:06:35.819 --> 00:06:38.759
 God has shown immense power

00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.740
 and sovereignty and grace

00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:42.060
 and love to his people

00:06:42.060 --> 00:06:43.959
 by delivering them out of slavery,

00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:45.240
 out of the hands of Egypt,

00:06:45.599 --> 00:06:47.159
 bringing them through the wilderness

00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.980
 and to the brink of the promised land.

00:06:51.520 --> 00:06:53.640
 They've been led through all of this

00:06:53.640 --> 00:06:55.800
 by the servant Moses

00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:57.120
 that God has raised up

00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.160
 to be a leader of his people.

00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:05.980
 And now as the people stand on from your,

00:07:06.580 --> 00:07:07.180
 as you stand,

00:07:07.320 --> 00:07:10.500
 they're now up along the eastern edge

00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:11.480
 of the Jordan River

00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.120
 and they're gonna move west

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:14.900
 across the Jordan River

00:07:14.900 --> 00:07:16.960
 into the promised land,

00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.140
 into the land that God told Abraham

00:07:19.140 --> 00:07:21.360
 hundreds of years before,

00:07:21.500 --> 00:07:22.820
 this will be the place

00:07:22.820 --> 00:07:26.240
 where you and your people will live.

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.160
 this is the land that I have,

00:07:29.420 --> 00:07:30.720
 that I will give to you.

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.060
 But if you remember the story,

00:07:34.139 --> 00:07:35.379
 it was the land that earlier

00:07:35.379 --> 00:07:36.560
 in Numbers 13,

00:07:36.660 --> 00:07:37.379
 they explored,

00:07:37.579 --> 00:07:38.579
 they came to the edge of it

00:07:38.579 --> 00:07:39.280
 once before,

00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:40.019
 they looked,

00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:41.439
 they sent in 12,

00:07:41.900 --> 00:07:42.900
 12 spies,

00:07:43.060 --> 00:07:43.540
 they call them,

00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:44.800
 to examine the land

00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:45.860
 and what did they find?

00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.220
 The land was as good as promised,

00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:49.879
 flowing with milk and honey,

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.160
 abundant in every natural resource.

00:07:52.300 --> 00:07:54.300
 It was in many ways paradise,

00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:55.500
 particularly compared

00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:56.259
 to their wandering

00:07:56.259 --> 00:07:57.519
 on the Sinai Peninsula

00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.040
 in the desert

00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.300
 and yet it was full of people.

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:05.500
 People who,

00:08:06.139 --> 00:08:06.560
 it seems,

00:08:06.660 --> 00:08:07.600
 were taller than them.

00:08:08.899 --> 00:08:09.680
 People who,

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:11.959
 they were afraid of.

00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:15.120
 People's nations

00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:16.180
 and they said,

00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:17.699
 we cannot defeat these people,

00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:19.040
 they are too great for us

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:20.600
 and they shrunk back

00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.000
 at that time earlier.

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:28.360
 They've known their own weakness

00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.040
 of grumbling and complaining

00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:31.680
 and not trusting God.

00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:34.019
 They didn't trust God for water

00:08:34.019 --> 00:08:35.799
 and God made it flow from a rock.

00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:37.840
 They didn't trust God for food

00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.419
 and God rained it down

00:08:39.419 --> 00:08:40.620
 from heaven.

00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:42.860
 A food that they

00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:43.639
 nor anyone else

00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.059
 had ever seen before.

00:08:45.059 --> 00:08:47.859
 and now they come again

00:08:47.859 --> 00:08:49.479
 to the edge of the promised land.

00:08:49.739 --> 00:08:50.579
 Now they come again

00:08:50.579 --> 00:08:51.719
 to the very brink

00:08:51.719 --> 00:08:54.879
 and yet Moses has died

00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:56.739
 and they're going in

00:08:56.739 --> 00:08:58.000
 with more uncertainty,

00:08:58.739 --> 00:09:00.279
 more fears,

00:09:00.779 --> 00:09:01.699
 more insecurity.

00:09:01.700 --> 00:09:04.560
 how will they respond

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:05.920
 to what comes next?

00:09:07.300 --> 00:09:08.400
 It's in this context

00:09:08.400 --> 00:09:09.440
 that we will read

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:10.680
 our passage this morning.

00:09:11.540 --> 00:09:12.680
 For God then comes

00:09:12.680 --> 00:09:14.040
 to speak to Joshua

00:09:14.040 --> 00:09:15.420
 who is the one

00:09:15.420 --> 00:09:16.500
 that God has determined

00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:17.720
 raised up

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.560
 to be Moses' successor

00:09:19.560 --> 00:09:20.379
 as the leader

00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:21.700
 of God's people.

00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:23.300
 God speaks to Joshua

00:09:23.300 --> 00:09:24.480
 about what is to come

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:25.879
 and how it is

00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:27.160
 that they can move forward.

00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:29.340
 So let's read this together.

00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:30.620
 Joshua chapter one

00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:32.679
 verses one through nine.

00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:37.340
 Now after the death of Moses,

00:09:37.560 --> 00:09:38.740
 the servant of the Lord,

00:09:39.220 --> 00:09:40.879
 the Lord said to Joshua,

00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:42.539
 the son of Nun,

00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:43.820
 Moses' assistant,

00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.480
 Moses, my servant is dead.

00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:48.720
 Now therefore arise,

00:09:48.899 --> 00:09:50.200
 go over this Jordan,

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:51.840
 you and all this people,

00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:52.919
 into the land

00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:54.299
 that I am giving to them,

00:09:54.620 --> 00:09:55.919
 to the people of Israel.

00:09:56.700 --> 00:09:58.399
 Every place that the sole

00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.980
 of your foot will tread upon,

00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:01.440
 I have given to you

00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.940
 just as I promised to Moses.

00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:05.539
 From the wilderness

00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:06.399
 in this Lebanon

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:07.980
 as far as the great river,

00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:09.000
 the river Euphrates,

00:10:09.560 --> 00:10:11.279
 all the land of the Hittites

00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:12.460
 to the great sea

00:10:12.460 --> 00:10:14.300
 going toward the going down

00:10:14.300 --> 00:10:14.899
 of the sun

00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:16.519
 shall be your territory.

00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:19.100
 No man shall be able

00:10:19.100 --> 00:10:20.740
 to stand before you

00:10:20.740 --> 00:10:22.899
 all the days of your life.

00:10:23.560 --> 00:10:25.460
 Just as I was with Moses,

00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:27.960
 so I will be with you.

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.879
 I will not leave you

00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:30.940
 or forsake you.

00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:32.980
 Be strong and courageous,

00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.500
 for you shall cause this people

00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:36.860
 to inherit the land

00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:39.139
 that I swore to their fathers

00:10:39.139 --> 00:10:40.060
 to give them.

00:10:41.160 --> 00:10:43.960
 Only be strong and very courageous,

00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:46.440
 being careful to do according

00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:47.820
 to all the law

00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:49.340
 that Moses, my servant,

00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:50.120
 commanded you.

00:10:50.620 --> 00:10:52.160
 Do not turn from it

00:10:52.160 --> 00:10:53.400
 to the right hand

00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:54.200
 or to the left,

00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.460
 that you may have good success

00:10:56.460 --> 00:10:57.500
 wherever you go.

00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.120
 This book of law

00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.820
 shall not depart from your mouth,

00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:02.379
 but you shall meditate on it

00:11:02.379 --> 00:11:03.620
 day and night

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:05.740
 so that you may be careful

00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:07.460
 to do according to all

00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:08.700
 that is written in it.

00:11:09.540 --> 00:11:11.820
 For then you will make

00:11:11.820 --> 00:11:12.740
 your way prosperous,

00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:14.140
 and then you will have

00:11:14.140 --> 00:11:15.020
 great success.

00:11:16.020 --> 00:11:17.940
 Have I not commanded you?

00:11:18.379 --> 00:11:20.080
 Be strong and courageous.

00:11:20.660 --> 00:11:21.660
 Do not be frightened

00:11:21.659 --> 00:11:23.279
 and do not be dismayed,

00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:24.759
 for the Lord your God

00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:25.500
 is with you

00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:27.159
 wherever you go.

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:29.439
 Will you pray with me?

00:11:33.319 --> 00:11:34.439
 Lord, we thank you

00:11:34.439 --> 00:11:36.159
 this morning for this word.

00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:38.199
 Lord, thank you that

00:11:38.199 --> 00:11:40.559
 in every part of your word,

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:43.379
 Lord, you have given us words

00:11:43.379 --> 00:11:45.799
 that are useful for us.

00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:48.620
 Words that teach,

00:11:48.819 --> 00:11:49.839
 words that convict,

00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:51.139
 words that instruct,

00:11:51.860 --> 00:11:52.820
 words that command,

00:11:53.160 --> 00:11:54.320
 words that encourage,

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:56.500
 words that rebuke.

00:11:58.019 --> 00:11:59.460
 Lord, thank you for your word

00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:01.420
 and how it does speak to us.

00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:03.700
 And Lord, we pray this morning

00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:04.940
 that you would speak to us

00:12:04.940 --> 00:12:05.660
 through your word.

00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:08.120
 Lord, I pray for all of us

00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:08.960
 that we would have

00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.120
 receptive hearts

00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.420
 and listening ears

00:12:12.420 --> 00:12:14.240
 to hear what you would have

00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.040
 to say this morning to us.

00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.019
 We pray this in Jesus' name.

00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:20.060
 Amen.

00:12:29.660 --> 00:12:30.980
 This is a rich passage.

00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:32.700
 It would be fun to spend

00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:33.620
 lots of time on it.

00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:35.340
 We're going to try

00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:36.040
 to move through it.

00:12:36.420 --> 00:12:37.120
 We're going to focus

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:38.080
 on three things.

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:39.940
 Three things that God says

00:12:39.940 --> 00:12:40.720
 to his people

00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:41.980
 as they're facing

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:43.000
 this uncertainty

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:44.480
 and this new transition.

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.259
 They're facing this new situation.

00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:50.700
 And we're going to look

00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:51.680
 at these three things

00:12:51.680 --> 00:12:54.519
 and apply them to our lives

00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:55.519
 as we go along.

00:12:55.620 --> 00:12:56.700
 And the first thing

00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:59.120
 that God says

00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:00.360
 is go forward.

00:13:01.940 --> 00:13:02.259
 Right?

00:13:03.019 --> 00:13:04.220
 This is pretty obvious,

00:13:04.340 --> 00:13:04.680
 isn't it?

00:13:04.820 --> 00:13:05.840
 They're standing on the brink

00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:06.740
 of the promised land.

00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:08.360
 There's really one way

00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:09.300
 for them to go.

00:13:09.299 --> 00:13:09.339
 So,

00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:11.439
 and yet it's interesting

00:13:11.439 --> 00:13:11.919
 as you look

00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.439
 at the first couple of verses,

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.399
 especially verses 3 and 4,

00:13:16.599 --> 00:13:17.039
 particularly,

00:13:17.719 --> 00:13:19.779
 some of the emphases.

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:21.259
 One of the things

00:13:21.259 --> 00:13:21.740
 that he says

00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:22.519
 is all of you

00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:23.500
 must go forward.

00:13:25.479 --> 00:13:27.019
 He says go forward together.

00:13:27.839 --> 00:13:29.000
 Don't leave any behind.

00:13:29.419 --> 00:13:29.919
 None of you

00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:31.279
 should shrink back from this.

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:32.620
 But all of you should go.

00:13:32.979 --> 00:13:34.359
 And all of you should go

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.220
 and take all of this land.

00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:37.740
 And the promise here

00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:39.080
 is an immense amount of land.

00:13:39.139 --> 00:13:39.659
 In fact,

00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:40.659
 the people of Israel

00:13:40.659 --> 00:13:42.740
 didn't get all of this land.

00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:44.240
 They didn't go as far

00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:45.159
 as the extent

00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:46.440
 is described here

00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.139
 out of their lack of faith

00:13:48.139 --> 00:13:48.940
 and disobedience

00:13:48.940 --> 00:13:49.940
 as they went forward.

00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.039
 But the promise

00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:53.060
 that God gave them

00:13:53.060 --> 00:13:53.720
 was that there is

00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.700
 a great big land

00:13:55.700 --> 00:13:57.019
 that is going to have

00:13:57.019 --> 00:13:58.560
 everything that you need

00:13:58.560 --> 00:14:00.580
 to live and to thrive

00:14:00.580 --> 00:14:01.620
 and to prosper

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:03.200
 in this world.

00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:05.320
 God had given them

00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:06.720
 a big promise.

00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:08.320
 And he had said

00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.519
 go into it.

00:14:11.300 --> 00:14:12.779
 Yes, it looks unknown.

00:14:13.100 --> 00:14:14.320
 Yes, it looks uncertain.

00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:15.120
 And in fact,

00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:16.180
 it looks scary.

00:14:16.680 --> 00:14:18.539
 And it probably looks hard.

00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:20.460
 It's not going to be easy

00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:21.519
 to take this land.

00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:22.419
 There are people

00:14:22.419 --> 00:14:23.180
 who live there.

00:14:23.460 --> 00:14:24.399
 There are armies

00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:25.180
 that live there.

00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:26.159
 They have weapons.

00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:27.440
 They are taller than you.

00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:28.580
 All of those things

00:14:28.580 --> 00:14:29.580
 haven't changed.

00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:33.860
 God says,

00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:35.820
 I want you to go forward.

00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:38.320
 Do not be afraid

00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.960
 but be strong

00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.180
 and courageous

00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:44.460
 and go forward

00:14:44.460 --> 00:14:45.460
 into the things

00:14:45.460 --> 00:14:46.580
 that I have for you.

00:14:50.259 --> 00:14:51.500
 He does it based

00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:52.259
 on his promise.

00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:53.080
 Go forward

00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:54.419
 because I have promised

00:14:54.419 --> 00:14:56.879
 you

00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.019
 that these things

00:14:58.019 --> 00:14:59.000
 will be yours.

00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:03.460
 Now,

00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:05.259
 how do we think

00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:06.039
 about this today?

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:07.940
 How do we read

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:09.019
 the promises of God

00:15:09.019 --> 00:15:10.259
 particularly with regard

00:15:10.259 --> 00:15:11.320
 to taking land?

00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:14.840
 It's a little tricky.

00:15:15.179 --> 00:15:16.440
 People have disagreed

00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:17.580
 with it over the years.

00:15:18.779 --> 00:15:20.279
 But let me say this.

00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:23.059
 God is not calling us

00:15:23.059 --> 00:15:24.339
 to build

00:15:24.339 --> 00:15:26.679
 a Christian nation

00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.179
 where he will establish

00:15:28.179 --> 00:15:28.839
 his kingdom

00:15:28.839 --> 00:15:30.559
 through a particular

00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:31.919
 political entity.

00:15:32.860 --> 00:15:33.399
 In fact,

00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:34.480
 it doesn't even seem

00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:35.159
 that God will,

00:15:36.259 --> 00:15:37.079
 God is promising

00:15:37.079 --> 00:15:38.240
 that he will do that

00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.639
 even through any particular

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:43.120
 local church expression.

00:15:44.319 --> 00:15:46.360
 None of us have a claim

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.459
 to the promises of the land

00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:49.820
 to that extent.

00:15:50.660 --> 00:15:52.100
 But what we do know

00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:52.900
 for sure

00:15:52.900 --> 00:15:53.820
 is that

00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:55.280
 as God's people

00:15:55.280 --> 00:15:56.400
 in the Old Testament

00:15:56.400 --> 00:15:58.019
 had a physical place

00:15:58.019 --> 00:15:59.000
 where they were going

00:15:59.000 --> 00:15:59.720
 to live

00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.720
 and display God's glory,

00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:03.100
 in the New Testament,

00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.580
 God takes his people

00:16:05.580 --> 00:16:06.379
 and instead of

00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:07.860
 bringing them together

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:08.540
 in a place,

00:16:08.660 --> 00:16:09.759
 he scatters them

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:11.660
 into every tribe

00:16:11.660 --> 00:16:12.340
 and tongue

00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:13.040
 and nation.

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:14.060
 And he says,

00:16:14.340 --> 00:16:15.139
 I will send you

00:16:15.139 --> 00:16:16.040
 to be my people

00:16:16.040 --> 00:16:17.440
 throughout the earth

00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:18.340
 to the ends

00:16:18.340 --> 00:16:19.160
 of the earth.

00:16:21.260 --> 00:16:22.960
 And as I do this,

00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:24.960
 I will build my church.

00:16:26.640 --> 00:16:28.020
 This is the promise,

00:16:28.380 --> 00:16:29.420
 it seems,

00:16:29.820 --> 00:16:31.960
 that we are able

00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:33.000
 to hold onto

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:33.880
 and to know

00:16:33.880 --> 00:16:36.020
 that what God promised

00:16:36.020 --> 00:16:37.500
 to the Old Testament people,

00:16:37.640 --> 00:16:38.780
 the descendants of Abraham,

00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:40.020
 was there is a land

00:16:40.020 --> 00:16:40.840
 that I am going

00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:41.720
 to give to you.

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.860
 But as we see

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:44.140
 the greater fulfillment

00:16:44.140 --> 00:16:45.560
 of what this is pointed to,

00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:46.819
 it is God saying,

00:16:47.119 --> 00:16:48.399
 I will build my church

00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:49.319
 that will thrive

00:16:49.319 --> 00:16:50.559
 in every part

00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:51.799
 of this world.

00:16:55.859 --> 00:16:57.439
 And in every part

00:16:57.439 --> 00:16:58.359
 of this world then,

00:16:58.479 --> 00:16:59.199
 God's church

00:16:59.199 --> 00:16:59.919
 will await

00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:01.459
 for the return

00:17:01.459 --> 00:17:02.099
 of Christ

00:17:02.099 --> 00:17:03.439
 and the establishment

00:17:03.439 --> 00:17:04.220
 of the kingdom

00:17:04.220 --> 00:17:05.599
 when once again

00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:06.599
 there will be a day

00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:08.339
 where the whole land

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:09.299
 will be

00:17:09.299 --> 00:17:11.139
 for the people of God.

00:17:11.140 --> 00:17:12.620
 and we will,

00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:13.800
 with Christ,

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.960
 rule over it

00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:15.880
 on the day

00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:16.860
 that he comes

00:17:16.860 --> 00:17:17.580
 and returns

00:17:17.580 --> 00:17:18.620
 and establishes

00:17:18.620 --> 00:17:19.080
 his kingdom

00:17:19.080 --> 00:17:20.940
 and makes all things new

00:17:20.940 --> 00:17:22.460
 and makes all things right.

00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:24.960
 And so there will be a day

00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:26.240
 when we will get land,

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.680
 but it's not now.

00:17:31.080 --> 00:17:31.960
 For now,

00:17:32.500 --> 00:17:33.100
 what we get

00:17:33.100 --> 00:17:33.860
 is the church.

00:17:33.859 --> 00:17:37.779
 This is the promise

00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:39.759
 that God has given us.

00:17:41.379 --> 00:17:42.899
 This is what we read earlier.

00:17:43.139 --> 00:17:44.539
 I will build my church

00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:46.199
 and the gates of hell

00:17:46.199 --> 00:17:47.319
 will not stand

00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:48.539
 against it.

00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:53.219
 So how do we apply this

00:17:53.219 --> 00:17:54.199
 then to our lives?

00:17:55.099 --> 00:17:55.379
 Well,

00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:58.159
 I want to be

00:17:58.159 --> 00:17:59.519
 really practical here.

00:17:59.699 --> 00:18:01.179
 I want to call you

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:02.400
 to reaffirm

00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:03.560
 the importance

00:18:03.560 --> 00:18:04.440
 of the church

00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:05.640
 in your life.

00:18:06.740 --> 00:18:08.360
 I want to ask you

00:18:08.360 --> 00:18:10.380
 to be a partner

00:18:10.380 --> 00:18:11.220
 with God,

00:18:11.660 --> 00:18:12.900
 to be a participant

00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:13.799
 with God

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:14.380
 in the thing

00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:15.320
 that he is doing

00:18:15.320 --> 00:18:16.000
 in building

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.140
 his church

00:18:17.140 --> 00:18:17.900
 in the world.

00:18:19.120 --> 00:18:19.980
 I want you

00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:20.900
 to go forward

00:18:20.900 --> 00:18:21.420
 and say,

00:18:21.600 --> 00:18:21.920
 yes,

00:18:22.320 --> 00:18:23.539
 I will do it.

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:25.500
 I will find

00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:26.220
 a way

00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:27.420
 to be a part

00:18:27.420 --> 00:18:27.940
 of building

00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:28.580
 the church.

00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:31.039
 And because you're

00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:31.339
 here,

00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:32.200
 why don't you

00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:32.720
 do it here

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:33.480
 in this church?

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:34.579
 What a great idea.

00:18:34.819 --> 00:18:35.460
 We'd love for you

00:18:35.460 --> 00:18:36.079
 to do that.

00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:40.460
 How do I build

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:40.920
 the church?

00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:41.379
 Well,

00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:42.259
 one thing it is,

00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:43.099
 it means

00:18:43.099 --> 00:18:45.700
 don't spend

00:18:45.700 --> 00:18:46.220
 all your time

00:18:46.220 --> 00:18:46.559
 grumbling

00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:47.220
 and complaining

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:48.299
 about what we aren't,

00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:50.460
 but seek to invest

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:52.099
 in improving

00:18:52.099 --> 00:18:52.659
 our church

00:18:52.659 --> 00:18:53.519
 so that we can be

00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:54.099
 all that God

00:18:54.099 --> 00:18:55.059
 would want us to be.

00:18:56.379 --> 00:18:57.339
 I don't say this

00:18:57.339 --> 00:18:58.220
 because we struggle

00:18:58.220 --> 00:18:58.680
 with this.

00:18:58.839 --> 00:18:59.759
 We actually have

00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:00.700
 a wonderful church.

00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:01.799
 I do not feel

00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:02.460
 like this is a

00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:03.340
 besetting problem

00:19:03.340 --> 00:19:04.059
 in our church,

00:19:04.660 --> 00:19:05.400
 but I say it

00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:06.059
 because it was

00:19:06.059 --> 00:19:06.480
 the problem

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:06.960
 that Israel

00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:07.580
 struggled with

00:19:07.580 --> 00:19:08.100
 the most.

00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:08.840
 God,

00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:09.559
 I don't trust you.

00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:09.819
 God,

00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:10.400
 this is never

00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:10.880
 good enough.

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:11.160
 God,

00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:11.500
 you're not

00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:12.259
 providing the way

00:19:12.259 --> 00:19:12.860
 I think you

00:19:12.860 --> 00:19:13.220
 ought to.

00:19:13.539 --> 00:19:13.840
 God,

00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:14.519
 this isn't the way

00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:15.360
 I expected you

00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:15.720
 to work.

00:19:15.819 --> 00:19:15.980
 God,

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:16.440
 I want you

00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:16.920
 to do this

00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:17.319
 differently.

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:18.480
 This is all

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:18.920
 the ways

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:19.460
 that the people

00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:20.000
 of Israel

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.580
 disbelieved

00:19:21.580 --> 00:19:22.580
 and doubted God.

00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:24.600
 And I don't want

00:19:24.600 --> 00:19:25.039
 us to be

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:25.980
 that kind of people.

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.000
 I want us

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:28.180
 to be people

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:28.759
 who believe

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:29.560
 that God

00:19:29.560 --> 00:19:30.279
 will build

00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:31.880
 the church

00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:32.660
 and that God

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:34.320
 graciously will

00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:35.440
 build this church

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:36.539
 and that maybe

00:19:36.539 --> 00:19:37.480
 he's called you

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:38.340
 to come here

00:19:38.340 --> 00:19:39.180
 and to be a part

00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:39.539
 of it.

00:19:43.740 --> 00:19:44.920
 Look for God

00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:46.320
 to use you

00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:47.560
 to build our church.

00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:49.420
 And not because

00:19:49.420 --> 00:19:50.160
 we want to be

00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:50.940
 great in the

00:19:50.940 --> 00:19:51.519
 biggest church

00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:52.340
 or the best church

00:19:52.340 --> 00:19:53.279
 or the hippest church

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.100
 or the hottest church

00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:54.579
 in town.

00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:55.919
 We don't really

00:19:55.919 --> 00:19:56.539
 care about any

00:19:56.539 --> 00:19:57.299
 of those things.

00:19:58.039 --> 00:19:58.859
 What we do want

00:19:58.859 --> 00:19:59.799
 to be is a church

00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:00.759
 where Jesus Christ

00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:01.639
 is lifted up

00:20:01.639 --> 00:20:03.039
 and where people's

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:03.939
 lives are changed

00:20:03.939 --> 00:20:04.619
 by it.

00:20:06.859 --> 00:20:07.539
 And we want

00:20:07.539 --> 00:20:08.019
 to call you

00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:08.539
 to be a part

00:20:08.539 --> 00:20:08.939
 of that.

00:20:10.740 --> 00:20:11.480
 Find ways

00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:12.199
 to invest.

00:20:12.719 --> 00:20:13.339
 Find ways

00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:14.119
 to serve.

00:20:14.699 --> 00:20:15.219
 Find ways

00:20:15.219 --> 00:20:16.079
 to plug in.

00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:18.179
 Invest your

00:20:18.179 --> 00:20:18.899
 prayer life.

00:20:19.199 --> 00:20:19.859
 Do you pray

00:20:19.859 --> 00:20:20.379
 daily

00:20:20.379 --> 00:20:21.339
 for our church?

00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:24.139
 Do it.

00:20:25.699 --> 00:20:26.720
 Do you give

00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:27.279
 regularly

00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:28.299
 to our church?

00:20:30.019 --> 00:20:30.679
 Do it.

00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:32.240
 Do you give

00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:33.039
 of your time?

00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:33.879
 Do you give

00:20:33.879 --> 00:20:34.699
 of your talents?

00:20:35.339 --> 00:20:35.740
 Do you give

00:20:35.740 --> 00:20:36.519
 of your finances?

00:20:38.459 --> 00:20:39.240
 Do you give

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:40.059
 of your heart?

00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:43.579
 Do you love

00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:44.419
 the church?

00:20:46.819 --> 00:20:47.459
 Are you willing

00:20:47.459 --> 00:20:48.339
 to go forward

00:20:48.339 --> 00:20:49.359
 into this next year

00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:49.859
 believing

00:20:49.859 --> 00:20:51.159
 that God

00:20:51.159 --> 00:20:52.939
 wants to

00:20:52.939 --> 00:20:53.439
 continue

00:20:53.439 --> 00:20:54.159
 to use

00:20:54.159 --> 00:20:55.019
 this church

00:20:55.019 --> 00:20:56.639
 to display

00:20:56.639 --> 00:20:57.319
 the glory

00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:58.079
 of Christ

00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:59.439
 and the good

00:20:59.439 --> 00:20:59.939
 news of the

00:20:59.939 --> 00:21:00.339
 gospel?

00:21:05.139 --> 00:21:06.099
 So the first

00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:07.979
 thing we see

00:21:07.979 --> 00:21:08.639
 here is God

00:21:08.639 --> 00:21:09.419
 wants us

00:21:09.419 --> 00:21:10.339
 to go forward.

00:21:11.439 --> 00:21:12.119
 The second

00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:12.559
 thing

00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:13.899
 is that God

00:21:13.899 --> 00:21:14.619
 wants us

00:21:14.619 --> 00:21:15.259
 as we go

00:21:15.259 --> 00:21:15.699
 forward

00:21:15.699 --> 00:21:16.959
 he wants us

00:21:16.959 --> 00:21:17.679
 to go back.

00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:18.759
 that is

00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:19.279
 he wants us

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:19.799
 to hold

00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:20.299
 on

00:21:20.299 --> 00:21:20.960
 to the

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:21.259
 things

00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:21.660
 that he

00:21:21.660 --> 00:21:22.360
 has already

00:21:22.360 --> 00:21:22.720
 said.

00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:23.140
 Look with

00:21:23.140 --> 00:21:23.460
 me in

00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:23.740
 verses

00:21:23.740 --> 00:21:26.799
 7 and 8

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:32.259
 God

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:32.920
 gives Joshua

00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:33.480
 this command

00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:33.920
 take the

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.180
 people

00:21:34.180 --> 00:21:34.779
 go in

00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:35.480
 take the

00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:35.940
 land

00:21:35.940 --> 00:21:37.019
 do this

00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:38.100
 but then

00:21:38.100 --> 00:21:38.660
 we see

00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:39.539
 secondly

00:21:39.539 --> 00:21:40.940
 this

00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:43.140
 significant

00:21:43.140 --> 00:21:44.320
 exhortation

00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:45.019
 in 7 and

00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:45.359
 8

00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:46.639
 be careful

00:21:46.639 --> 00:21:47.159
 to do

00:21:47.159 --> 00:21:47.740
 all the

00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:48.079
 law

00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:48.579
 do not

00:21:48.579 --> 00:21:49.179
 turn from

00:21:49.179 --> 00:21:49.319
 it

00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:49.639
 to the

00:21:49.639 --> 00:21:49.859
 right

00:21:49.859 --> 00:21:50.220
 to the

00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:50.559
 left

00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:51.639
 this

00:21:51.639 --> 00:21:51.839
 book

00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:52.139
 of law

00:21:52.139 --> 00:21:52.539
 shall not

00:21:52.539 --> 00:21:52.980
 depart

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:53.379
 from you

00:21:53.379 --> 00:21:54.039
 but you

00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:54.240
 shall

00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:54.779
 meditate

00:21:54.779 --> 00:21:55.359
 on it

00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:55.859
 day

00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:56.720
 and night

00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.559
 now

00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:00.360
 think about

00:22:00.360 --> 00:22:01.079
 what these

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:01.680
 people have

00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:02.059
 seen

00:22:02.059 --> 00:22:03.559
 or at

00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:03.940
 least what

00:22:03.940 --> 00:22:04.220
 they are

00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:04.920
 just one

00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:05.559
 generation

00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:06.160
 removed

00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:06.559
 from

00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:08.180
 the law

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:09.079
 that they

00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:09.680
 have

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:11.180
 came to

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:11.579
 them

00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:12.539
 as Moses

00:22:12.539 --> 00:22:13.440
 met with

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:13.940
 God

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:14.799
 as a man

00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:15.620
 meets with

00:22:15.620 --> 00:22:15.980
 a man

00:22:15.980 --> 00:22:16.559
 face to

00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:16.860
 face

00:22:16.860 --> 00:22:17.220
 on the

00:22:17.220 --> 00:22:17.640
 top of

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:18.100
 a mountain

00:22:18.100 --> 00:22:19.059
 with smoke

00:22:19.059 --> 00:22:19.860
 and fire

00:22:19.860 --> 00:22:20.940
 right

00:22:20.940 --> 00:22:21.620
 God

00:22:21.620 --> 00:22:22.120
 appeared

00:22:22.120 --> 00:22:22.460
 in a

00:22:22.460 --> 00:22:23.059
 dramatic

00:22:23.059 --> 00:22:25.759
 life

00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:26.559
 changing

00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:27.240
 way

00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:28.819
 to reveal

00:22:28.819 --> 00:22:29.279
 himself

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:29.700
 and to

00:22:29.700 --> 00:22:30.399
 give the

00:22:30.399 --> 00:22:30.740
 law

00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:31.159
 as an

00:22:31.159 --> 00:22:31.759
 instruction

00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:32.899
 to people

00:22:32.899 --> 00:22:33.299
 who

00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:35.099
 just a few

00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:35.539
 months

00:22:35.539 --> 00:22:36.059
 earlier

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:36.859
 maybe a few

00:22:36.859 --> 00:22:37.659
 years earlier

00:22:37.659 --> 00:22:38.299
 wondered if

00:22:38.299 --> 00:22:38.659
 God had

00:22:38.659 --> 00:22:39.139
 completely

00:22:39.139 --> 00:22:39.619
 forgotten

00:22:39.619 --> 00:22:39.899
 them

00:22:39.899 --> 00:22:40.539
 God

00:22:40.539 --> 00:22:40.980
 shows up

00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:41.159
 and he

00:22:41.159 --> 00:22:41.460
 says I

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:41.960
 have not

00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:42.359
 forgotten

00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:42.559
 you

00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:42.919
 in fact

00:22:42.919 --> 00:22:43.259
 I have

00:22:43.259 --> 00:22:43.720
 delivered

00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:44.019
 you

00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:44.639
 and now

00:22:44.639 --> 00:22:44.839
 I'm

00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:45.139
 giving

00:22:45.139 --> 00:22:45.379
 you

00:22:45.379 --> 00:22:45.639
 this

00:22:45.639 --> 00:22:46.099
 law

00:22:46.099 --> 00:22:46.799
 so that

00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:47.019
 you

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:47.220
 will

00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:47.740
 understand

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:48.079
 what

00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:48.240
 does

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:48.399
 it

00:22:48.399 --> 00:22:48.819
 mean

00:22:48.819 --> 00:22:49.339
 to

00:22:49.339 --> 00:22:49.639
 enter

00:22:49.639 --> 00:22:49.899
 into

00:22:49.899 --> 00:22:50.159

00:22:50.159 --> 00:22:50.539
 covenant

00:22:50.539 --> 00:22:50.879
 with

00:22:50.879 --> 00:22:51.139
 me

00:22:51.139 --> 00:22:51.460
 and to

00:22:51.460 --> 00:22:51.859
 take

00:22:51.859 --> 00:22:52.159
 up

00:22:52.159 --> 00:22:52.419
 this

00:22:52.419 --> 00:22:52.779
 covenant

00:22:52.779 --> 00:22:53.079

00:22:53.379 --> 00:22:53.839
 where

00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:54.119
 I

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:54.279
 will

00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:41.299
 recognize

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:41.680
 that

00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:42.099
 Moses

00:23:42.099 --> 00:23:42.759
 himself

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:43.240
 isn't

00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:43.639
 entering

00:23:43.639 --> 00:23:44.180
 in

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:45.099
 because

00:23:45.099 --> 00:23:45.519
 he

00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:45.859
 did

00:23:45.859 --> 00:23:46.180
 not

00:23:46.180 --> 00:23:46.859
 trust

00:23:46.859 --> 00:23:47.980
 and

00:23:47.980 --> 00:23:48.519
 follow

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.119
 God's

00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:49.519
 word

00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:52.900
 they

00:23:52.900 --> 00:23:53.160
 know

00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:53.359
 that

00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:53.599
 there

00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:53.740
 are

00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:54.079
 people

00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:54.579
 prone

00:23:54.579 --> 00:23:54.819
 to

00:23:54.819 --> 00:23:55.139
 turn

00:23:55.139 --> 00:23:55.599
 back

00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:56.200
 from

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:56.619
 God's

00:23:56.619 --> 00:23:56.940
 word

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:59.259
 to

00:23:59.259 --> 00:23:59.720
 grumble

00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:00.039
 and

00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:00.579
 complain

00:24:00.579 --> 00:24:00.859
 and

00:24:00.859 --> 00:24:01.240
 doubt

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:02.139
 to

00:24:02.139 --> 00:24:02.379
 be

00:24:02.379 --> 00:24:03.019
 independent

00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:04.619
 thanks

00:24:04.619 --> 00:24:04.920
 God

00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:05.099
 for

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:05.240
 your

00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:05.680
 instruction

00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:05.900
 but

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:06.039
 I

00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:06.180
 think

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:06.339
 we're

00:24:06.339 --> 00:24:06.440
 going

00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:06.519
 to

00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:06.660
 do

00:24:06.660 --> 00:24:06.759
 it

00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:06.980
 our

00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:07.240
 way

00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:07.519
 because

00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:07.720
 it'll

00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:08.359
 probably

00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:08.619
 work

00:24:08.619 --> 00:24:08.879
 better

00:24:08.879 --> 00:24:09.059
 than

00:24:09.059 --> 00:24:09.220
 your

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:09.500
 way

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:10.319
 at

00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:10.420
 least

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:10.539
 it

00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:10.720
 seems

00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:10.940
 so

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:11.059
 to

00:24:11.059 --> 00:24:11.359
 me

00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.599
 God

00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:15.879
 says

00:24:15.879 --> 00:24:16.179
 no

00:24:16.179 --> 00:24:16.759
 remember

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:17.839
 the

00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:18.139
 covenant

00:24:18.139 --> 00:24:18.500
 that I

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:18.699
 made

00:24:18.699 --> 00:24:18.919
 with

00:24:18.919 --> 00:24:19.059
 you

00:24:19.059 --> 00:24:19.199
 and

00:24:19.199 --> 00:24:19.740
 remember

00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:20.019
 that

00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:20.240
 my

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:20.639
 words

00:24:20.639 --> 00:24:20.899
 to

00:24:20.899 --> 00:24:21.199
 you

00:24:21.199 --> 00:24:21.439
 are

00:24:21.439 --> 00:24:21.859
 words

00:24:21.859 --> 00:24:22.079
 that

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:22.219
 are

00:24:22.219 --> 00:24:22.439
 meant

00:24:22.439 --> 00:24:22.659
 to

00:24:22.659 --> 00:24:22.899
 give

00:24:22.899 --> 00:24:23.359
 life

00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:24.759
 that

00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:25.240
 obedience

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:25.939
 is

00:24:25.939 --> 00:24:26.159
 the

00:24:26.159 --> 00:24:26.379
 way

00:24:26.379 --> 00:24:26.559
 of

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:26.979
 life

00:24:26.979 --> 00:24:27.759
 for

00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:28.240
 God's

00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:28.679
 people

00:24:28.679 --> 00:24:30.299
 that

00:24:30.299 --> 00:24:30.539
 it's

00:24:30.539 --> 00:24:30.799
 not

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:31.179
 just

00:24:31.179 --> 00:24:31.519
 about

00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:32.099
 outward

00:24:32.099 --> 00:24:32.939
 formalism

00:24:32.939 --> 00:24:33.179
 and

00:24:33.179 --> 00:24:33.979
 conformity

00:24:33.979 --> 00:24:34.699
 to

00:24:34.699 --> 00:24:35.059
 certain

00:24:35.059 --> 00:24:35.439
 rules

00:24:35.439 --> 00:24:35.639
 and

00:24:35.639 --> 00:24:36.219
 regulations

00:24:36.219 --> 00:24:37.099
 but

00:24:37.099 --> 00:24:37.259
 it

00:24:37.259 --> 00:24:37.399
 is

00:24:37.399 --> 00:24:37.539
 an

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:38.399
 internal

00:24:38.399 --> 00:24:39.240
 transformation

00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:39.719
 and

00:24:39.719 --> 00:24:39.879
 a

00:24:39.879 --> 00:24:40.500
 delight

00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:41.079
 and

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:41.679
 life

00:24:41.679 --> 00:24:43.500
 oriented

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:44.859
 to

00:24:44.859 --> 00:24:45.559
 please

00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:46.119
 God

00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:46.339
 in

00:24:46.339 --> 00:24:47.000
 everything

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:47.319
 that

00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:47.500
 we

00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:47.939
 do

00:24:47.939 --> 00:24:51.339
 and

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:51.460
 they

00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:51.579
 are

00:24:51.579 --> 00:24:51.879
 told

00:24:51.879 --> 00:24:52.419
 to

00:24:52.419 --> 00:24:52.659
 not

00:24:52.659 --> 00:24:53.220
 simply

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:54.220
 remember

00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:54.439
 it

00:24:54.439 --> 00:24:54.619
 but

00:24:54.619 --> 00:24:54.879
 to

00:24:54.879 --> 00:24:55.240
 meditate

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:55.639
 on

00:24:55.639 --> 00:24:55.819
 it

00:24:55.819 --> 00:24:56.819
 let

00:24:56.819 --> 00:24:56.939
 it

00:24:56.939 --> 00:24:57.079
 be

00:24:57.079 --> 00:24:57.220
 a

00:24:57.220 --> 00:24:57.419
 part

00:24:57.419 --> 00:24:57.539
 of

00:24:57.539 --> 00:24:57.699
 their

00:24:57.699 --> 00:24:58.240
 lives

00:24:58.240 --> 00:24:59.519
 day

00:24:59.519 --> 00:24:59.899
 and

00:24:59.899 --> 00:25:00.259
 night

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:04.899
 so

00:25:04.899 --> 00:25:05.019
 what

00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:05.220
 about

00:25:05.220 --> 00:25:05.579
 us

00:25:05.579 --> 00:25:06.519
 well

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:09.619
 I

00:25:09.619 --> 00:25:09.839
 hope

00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:10.019
 you'll

00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:10.159
 be

00:25:10.159 --> 00:25:10.759
 encouraged

00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:11.720
 but

00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:11.839
 as

00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:12.019
 we

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:12.240
 go

00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:12.799
 forward

00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:15.039
 as

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:15.299
 Trinity

00:25:15.299 --> 00:25:15.660
 Baptist

00:25:15.660 --> 00:25:16.079
 Church

00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:16.379
 we

00:25:16.379 --> 00:25:16.680
 know

00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:16.879
 that

00:25:16.879 --> 00:25:17.079
 there

00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:17.220
 is

00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:17.460
 only

00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:17.779
 one

00:25:17.779 --> 00:25:18.180
 thing

00:25:18.180 --> 00:25:19.740
 it's

00:25:19.740 --> 00:25:19.920
 a

00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:20.279
 really

00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:21.279
 slick

00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:22.059
 logo

00:25:22.059 --> 00:25:23.279
 that's

00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:23.400
 going

00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:23.480
 to

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:23.660
 get

00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:23.819
 us

00:25:23.819 --> 00:25:24.180
 going

00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:24.819
 that's

00:25:24.819 --> 00:25:24.940
 going

00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:25.019
 to

00:25:25.019 --> 00:25:25.200
 move

00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:25.400
 us

00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:25.819
 forward

00:25:25.819 --> 00:25:26.819
 to

00:25:26.819 --> 00:25:27.359
 it's

00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:27.460
 a

00:25:27.460 --> 00:25:27.720
 joke

00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:28.460
 it's

00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:29.279
 a

00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:29.779
 joke

00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:33.000
 it's

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:33.240
 not

00:25:33.679 --> 00:25:34.119
 it's

00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:34.379
 not

00:25:34.379 --> 00:25:34.539
 a

00:25:34.539 --> 00:25:34.819
 gimmick

00:25:34.819 --> 00:25:35.119
 it's

00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:35.379
 not

00:25:35.379 --> 00:25:35.759
 even

 we

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:50.299
 is

00:25:50.299 --> 00:25:50.419
 that

00:25:50.419 --> 00:25:50.579
 the

00:25:50.579 --> 00:25:50.839
 word

00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:51.019
 of

00:25:51.019 --> 00:25:51.319
 God

00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:51.519
 is

00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:51.919
 central

00:25:51.919 --> 00:25:52.319
 in

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:52.479
 the

00:25:52.479 --> 00:25:52.719
 life

00:25:52.719 --> 00:25:52.879
 of

00:25:52.879 --> 00:25:53.059
 our

00:25:53.059 --> 00:25:53.419
 church

00:25:53.419 --> 00:25:57.139
 we

00:25:57.139 --> 00:25:57.359
 need

00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:57.479
 to

00:25:57.479 --> 00:25:57.679
 be

00:25:57.679 --> 00:25:58.159
 careful

00:25:58.159 --> 00:25:59.659
 in

00:25:59.659 --> 00:25:59.859
 our

00:25:59.859 --> 00:26:00.219
 world

00:26:00.219 --> 00:26:00.439
 and

00:26:00.439 --> 00:26:00.559
 in

00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:00.719
 our

00:26:00.719 --> 00:26:01.159
 culture

00:26:01.159 --> 00:26:02.639
 and

00:26:02.639 --> 00:26:02.779
 the

00:26:02.779 --> 00:26:03.479
 pragmatism

00:26:03.479 --> 00:26:03.679
 of

00:26:03.679 --> 00:26:03.819
 our

00:26:03.819 --> 00:26:04.179
 culture

00:26:04.179 --> 00:26:04.359
 and

00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:04.519
 the

00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:05.159
 pragmatism

00:26:05.159 --> 00:26:05.339
 of

00:26:05.339 --> 00:26:05.479
 our

00:26:05.479 --> 00:26:05.879
 hearts

00:26:05.879 --> 00:26:06.659
 where

00:26:06.659 --> 00:26:06.839
 we

00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:07.219
 think

00:26:07.219 --> 00:26:08.199
 yeah

00:26:08.199 --> 00:26:08.459
 does

00:26:08.459 --> 00:26:08.839
 God's

00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:09.000
 word

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:09.339
 really

00:26:09.339 --> 00:26:09.719
 work

00:26:09.719 --> 00:26:10.199
 I

00:26:10.199 --> 00:26:10.379
 think

00:26:10.379 --> 00:26:10.519
 we

00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:10.879
 probably

00:26:10.879 --> 00:26:11.179
 need

00:26:11.179 --> 00:26:11.479
 something

00:26:11.479 --> 00:26:11.899
 more

00:26:11.899 --> 00:26:13.740
 and

00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:13.859
 in

00:26:13.859 --> 00:26:14.000
 the

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:14.500
 busyness

00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:14.680
 of

00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:14.859
 our

00:26:14.859 --> 00:26:15.400
 lives

00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:16.200
 when

00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:16.460
 we

00:26:16.460 --> 00:26:17.200
 don't

00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:17.380
 see

00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:17.559
 the

00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:17.880
 immediate

00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:18.480
 results

00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:18.779
 of

00:26:18.779 --> 00:26:19.700
 slogging

00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:19.859
 our

00:26:19.859 --> 00:26:20.059
 way

00:26:20.059 --> 00:26:20.220
 through

00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:20.380
 a

00:26:20.380 --> 00:26:20.599
 Bible

00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:20.940
 reading

00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:21.420
 course

00:26:21.420 --> 00:26:21.740
 where

00:26:21.740 --> 00:26:22.599
 we're

00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:22.720
 in

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:22.839
 the

00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:23.039
 middle

00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:23.339
 of

00:26:23.339 --> 00:26:24.660
 the

00:26:24.660 --> 00:26:24.900
 second

00:26:24.900 --> 00:26:25.180
 half

00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:25.339
 of

00:26:25.339 --> 00:26:25.880
 Leviticus

00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:26.119
 in

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:26.519
 February

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:26.779
 and

00:26:26.779 --> 00:26:26.940
 we

00:26:26.940 --> 00:26:27.220
 wonder

00:26:27.220 --> 00:26:27.700
 really

00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:28.019
 is

00:26:28.019 --> 00:26:28.180
 this

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:28.519
 changing

00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:28.740
 my

00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:29.000
 life

00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:29.359
 today

00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:31.720
 and

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:31.859
 we

00:26:31.859 --> 00:26:32.019
 give

00:26:32.019 --> 00:26:32.299
 up

00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:32.519
 and

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:32.640
 we

00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:32.839
 think

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:33.339
 I

00:26:33.339 --> 00:26:34.019
 give

00:26:34.019 --> 00:26:34.240
 up

00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:34.519
 it's

00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:34.680
 too

00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:34.980
 hard

00:26:34.980 --> 00:26:37.599
 the

00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:37.900
 word

00:26:37.900 --> 00:26:38.099
 of

00:26:38.099 --> 00:26:38.440
 God

00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:38.759
 is

00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:39.019
 the

00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:39.779
 center

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:41.539
 of

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:41.720
 our

00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:42.180
 life

00:26:42.180 --> 00:26:42.460
 as

00:26:42.460 --> 00:26:42.619
 a

00:26:42.619 --> 00:26:43.059
 church

00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:45.079
 it

00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:45.220
 is

00:26:45.220 --> 00:26:45.659
 why

00:26:45.659 --> 00:26:46.779
 we

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.119
 spend

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:47.399
 so

00:26:47.399 --> 00:26:47.639
 much

00:26:47.639 --> 00:26:48.059
 time

00:26:48.059 --> 00:26:48.440
 listening

00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:48.659
 to

00:26:48.659 --> 00:26:48.980
 God's

00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:49.159
 word

00:26:49.159 --> 00:26:49.319
 on

00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:49.599
 Sunday

00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:49.960
 morning

00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:50.319
 and

00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:50.500
 we

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:50.839
 don't

00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:51.399
 shrink

00:26:51.399 --> 00:26:51.759
 back

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:51.980
 from

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.299
 saying

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:52.519
 we

00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:52.759
 think

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:53.000
 this

00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:53.159
 is

00:26:53.159 --> 00:26:53.460
 worth

00:26:53.460 --> 00:26:53.679
 it

00:26:53.679 --> 00:26:54.159
 the

00:26:54.159 --> 00:26:54.700
 proclamation

00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:55.079
 of

00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:55.480
 God's

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:55.740
 word

00:26:55.740 --> 00:26:55.919
 is

00:26:55.919 --> 00:26:56.319
 worth

00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:56.519
 it

00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:57.220
 every

00:26:57.220 --> 00:26:57.700
 Sunday

00:26:57.700 --> 00:26:59.340
 it

00:26:59.340 --> 00:26:59.460
 it's

00:26:59.460 --> 00:26:59.799
 why

00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:00.019
 the

00:27:00.019 --> 00:27:00.259
 word

00:27:00.259 --> 00:27:00.400
 of

00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:00.600
 God

00:27:00.600 --> 00:27:00.779
 is

00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:01.299
 central

00:27:01.299 --> 00:27:01.539
 in

00:27:01.539 --> 00:27:01.680
 our

00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:01.980
 small

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:02.460
 groups

00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:03.240
 why

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:03.460
 when

00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:03.640
 we

00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:03.940
 gather

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:04.319
 together

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:05.880
 we

00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:06.039
 are

00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:06.240
 meant

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:06.360
 to

00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:15.319
 this

00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:15.480
 is

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:15.759
 what

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:16.679
 God

00:28:16.679 --> 00:28:16.919
 was

00:28:16.919 --> 00:28:18.259
 challenging

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:18.619
 and

00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:25.559
 is

00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:25.720

00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:29.299

00:28:29.299 --> 00:28:29.559
 so

00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:30.059
 even

00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:30.259
 as

 nothing

00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:19.240
 else

00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:19.759
 consider

00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:20.080
 reading

00:31:20.080 --> 00:31:20.220
 the

00:31:20.220 --> 00:31:20.360
 book

00:31:20.360 --> 00:31:20.480
 of

00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:20.779
 Exodus

00:31:20.779 --> 00:31:21.680
 over

00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:21.799
 in

00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:22.019
 Oregon

00:31:22.019 --> 00:31:22.799
 we're

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:22.900
 going

00:31:22.900 --> 00:31:22.980
 to

00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:23.180
 start

00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:23.320
 a

00:31:23.320 --> 00:31:23.600
 series

00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:23.759
 in

00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:23.840
 the

00:31:23.840 --> 00:31:23.960
 book

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:24.080
 of

00:31:24.080 --> 00:31:24.340
 Exodus

00:31:24.340 --> 00:31:24.700
 next

00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:25.039
 week

00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:26.240
 and

00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:26.620
 I

00:31:26.620 --> 00:31:26.759
 think

00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:26.900
 we're

00:31:26.900 --> 00:31:27.019
 going

00:31:27.019 --> 00:31:27.100
 to

00:31:27.100 --> 00:31:27.220
 do

00:31:27.220 --> 00:31:27.360
 the

00:31:27.360 --> 00:31:27.500
 whole

00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:28.700
 book

00:31:28.700 --> 00:31:31.940
 through

00:31:31.940 --> 00:31:32.440
 the

00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:32.740
 summer

00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:33.240
 so

00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:34.160
 but

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:34.559
 consider

00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:35.139
 reading

00:31:35.139 --> 00:31:35.419
 with

00:31:35.419 --> 00:31:35.759
 us

00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:36.339
 so

00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:36.500
 that

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:36.720
 you're

00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:37.200
 prepared

00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:37.399
 so

00:31:37.399 --> 00:31:37.519
 that

00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:37.659
 when

00:31:37.659 --> 00:31:37.779
 you

00:31:37.779 --> 00:31:38.059
 walk

00:31:38.059 --> 00:31:38.220
 in

00:31:38.220 --> 00:31:38.460
 here

00:31:38.460 --> 00:31:38.599
 on

00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:38.839
 Sunday

00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:39.240
 morning

00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:39.879
 as

00:31:39.879 --> 00:31:40.059
 you're

00:31:40.059 --> 00:31:40.559
 preparing

00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:40.759
 to

00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:40.899
 hear

00:31:40.899 --> 00:31:41.279
 God's

00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:41.579
 word

00:31:41.579 --> 00:31:42.440
 it's

00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:42.700
 not

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:43.759
 totally

00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:44.259
 new

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:44.460
 to

00:31:44.460 --> 00:31:44.740
 you

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:45.179
 like

00:31:45.179 --> 00:31:45.440
 oh

00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:45.599
 what

00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:45.700
 are

00:31:45.700 --> 00:31:45.799
 we

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:46.039
 reading

00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:46.259
 I

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:46.460
 don't

00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:46.779
 remember

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:47.179
 I

00:31:47.179 --> 00:31:47.460
 you know

00:31:47.460 --> 00:31:47.659
 I've

00:31:47.659 --> 00:31:47.759
 been

00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:48.179
 distracted

00:31:48.179 --> 00:31:48.419
 all

00:31:48.419 --> 00:31:48.700
 week

00:31:48.700 --> 00:31:49.179
 but

00:31:49.179 --> 00:31:49.379
 think

00:31:49.379 --> 00:31:49.579
 about

00:31:49.579 --> 00:31:49.720
 how

00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:49.879
 you

00:31:49.879 --> 00:31:50.039
 can

00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:50.500
 invest

00:31:50.500 --> 00:31:50.720
 in

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:51.179
 reading

00:31:51.179 --> 00:31:52.059
 ahead

00:31:52.059 --> 00:31:52.619
 so

00:31:52.619 --> 00:31:52.759
 that

00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:52.940
 you're

00:31:52.940 --> 00:31:53.419
 prepared

00:31:53.419 --> 00:31:53.679
 as

00:31:53.679 --> 00:31:53.779
 you

00:31:53.779 --> 00:31:54.019
 come

00:31:54.019 --> 00:31:54.240
 into

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:55.720
 service

00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:56.000
 on

00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:56.319
 Sunday

00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:56.579
 to

00:31:56.579 --> 00:31:56.919
 hear

00:31:56.919 --> 00:31:57.319
 God's

00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:57.539
 word

00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:05.000
 there

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:05.139
 can

00:32:05.139 --> 00:32:05.240
 be

00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:05.359
 a

00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:05.519
 great

00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:05.879
 danger

00:32:05.879 --> 00:32:06.079
 in

00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:06.299
 our

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:07.480
 loving

00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:07.919
 God's

00:32:07.919 --> 00:32:08.299
 word

00:32:08.299 --> 00:32:08.859
 rather

00:32:08.859 --> 00:32:09.079
 than

00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:09.339
 loving

00:32:09.339 --> 00:32:09.839
 God

00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:11.799
 Jesus

00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:12.859
 rebuked

00:32:12.859 --> 00:32:13.259
 the

00:32:13.259 --> 00:32:13.720
 Pharisees

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:14.139
 for that

00:32:14.139 --> 00:32:14.399
 very

00:32:14.399 --> 00:32:14.679
 thing

00:32:14.679 --> 00:32:14.960
 when he

00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:15.240
 said

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:15.700
 you

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:16.000
 search

00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:16.240
 the

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:16.619
 scriptures

00:32:16.619 --> 00:32:18.659
 but

00:32:18.659 --> 00:32:18.819
 you

00:32:18.819 --> 00:32:19.059
 fail

00:32:19.059 --> 00:32:19.240
 to

00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:19.419
 see

00:32:19.419 --> 00:32:19.619
 that

00:32:19.619 --> 00:32:19.779
 they

00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:20.220
 testify

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:20.659
 about

00:32:20.659 --> 00:32:21.000
 me

00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:21.819
 and

00:32:21.819 --> 00:32:21.940
 they

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:22.220
 point

00:32:22.220 --> 00:32:22.440
 to

00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:22.799
 me

00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:24.599
 so

00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:25.000
 we

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:25.220
 have

00:32:25.220 --> 00:32:25.399
 to

00:32:25.399 --> 00:32:26.419
 know

00:32:26.419 --> 00:32:26.599
 that

00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:26.799
 as

00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:26.980
 we

00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:27.299
 search

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:27.539
 the

00:32:27.539 --> 00:32:27.919
 scriptures

00:32:27.919 --> 00:32:29.279
 it

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:29.599
 is

00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:29.720
 in

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:29.879
 the

00:32:29.879 --> 00:32:30.339
 context

00:32:30.339 --> 00:32:30.579
 of

00:32:30.579 --> 00:32:30.700
 a

00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:31.339
 relationship

00:32:31.339 --> 00:32:31.720
 with

00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:32.099
 God

00:32:32.099 --> 00:32:32.579
 it

00:32:32.579 --> 00:32:32.720
 is

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:32.879
 so

00:32:32.879 --> 00:32:33.019
 that

00:32:33.019 --> 00:32:33.200
 we

00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:33.679
 know

00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:34.299
 God

00:32:34.299 --> 00:32:34.820
 more

00:32:34.820 --> 00:32:35.380
 it

00:32:35.380 --> 00:32:35.539
 is

00:32:35.539 --> 00:32:35.880
 so

00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:36.440
 our

00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:37.060
 minds

00:32:37.060 --> 00:32:37.580
 know

00:32:37.580 --> 00:32:38.180
 God's

00:32:38.180 --> 00:32:38.519
 mind

00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:39.120
 more

00:32:39.120 --> 00:32:39.360
 it

00:32:39.360 --> 00:32:39.420
 is

00:32:39.420 --> 00:32:39.539
 so

00:32:39.539 --> 00:32:39.700
 that

00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:39.880
 our

00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:40.380
 hearts

00:32:40.380 --> 00:32:41.060
 know

00:32:41.060 --> 00:32:41.240
 and

00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:41.720
 respond

00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:41.980
 to

00:32:41.980 --> 00:32:42.460
 God's

00:32:42.460 --> 00:32:42.759
 heart

00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:42.940
 and

00:32:42.940 --> 00:32:43.340
 God's

00:32:43.340 --> 00:32:43.840
 actions

00:32:43.840 --> 00:32:44.460
 more

00:32:44.460 --> 00:32:45.060
 it

00:32:45.060 --> 00:32:45.100
 is

00:32:45.100 --> 00:32:45.240
 so

00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:45.420
 we

00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:45.640
 have

00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:45.799
 a

00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:46.060
 real

00:32:46.060 --> 00:32:46.820
 relationship

00:32:46.820 --> 00:32:47.640
 where

00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:47.779
 we

00:32:47.779 --> 00:32:48.039
 don't

00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:48.420
 simply

00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:48.720
 know

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:48.940
 him

00:32:48.940 --> 00:32:49.080
 in

00:32:49.080 --> 00:32:49.240
 our

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:49.539
 head

00:32:49.539 --> 00:32:49.720
 but

00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:49.880
 we

00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:50.259
 love

00:32:50.259 --> 00:32:50.460
 him

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:50.600
 in

00:32:50.600 --> 00:32:50.759
 our

00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:51.160
 hearts

00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:57.480
 so

00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:57.759
 God

00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:57.920
 has

00:32:57.920 --> 00:32:58.100
 said

00:32:58.100 --> 00:32:58.400
 move

00:32:58.400 --> 00:32:58.799
 ahead

00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:00.220
 God

00:33:00.220 --> 00:33:00.360
 has

00:33:00.360 --> 00:33:00.500
 said

00:33:00.500 --> 00:33:00.779
 move

00:33:00.779 --> 00:33:01.340
 ahead

00:33:01.339 --> 00:33:03.659
 under

00:33:03.659 --> 00:33:03.899
 his

00:33:03.899 --> 00:33:04.299
 word

00:33:04.299 --> 00:33:05.220
 and

00:33:05.220 --> 00:33:05.339
 the

00:33:05.339 --> 00:33:05.599
 final

00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.220
 encouragement

00:33:06.220 --> 00:33:06.579
 the

00:33:06.579 --> 00:33:06.919
 final

00:33:06.919 --> 00:33:07.299
 word

 never

00:35:11.919 --> 00:35:12.379
 failed

00:35:12.379 --> 00:35:12.960
 Moses

00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.960
 so

00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:16.099
 he

00:35:16.099 --> 00:35:16.279
 says

00:35:25.140 --> 00:35:26.140
 God

00:35:26.140 --> 00:35:26.280
 who

00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:26.680
 reveals

00:35:26.680 --> 00:35:27.180
 himself

00:35:27.180 --> 00:35:27.559
 with

00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:27.820
 you

00:35:27.820 --> 00:35:28.280
 I

00:35:31.860 --> 00:35:32.140
 you

00:35:32.140 --> 00:35:32.579

00:35:32.579 --> 00:35:32.760
 to

00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:33.000
 go

00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:33.320
 with

00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:33.599
 you

00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:36.960
 this

00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:37.120
 is

00:35:37.120 --> 00:35:37.280
 what

00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:37.420
 it

00:35:37.420 --> 00:35:37.680
 meant

00:35:37.680 --> 00:35:38.720
 for

00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:38.920
 God

00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:39.039
 to

00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:39.160
 be

00:35:39.160 --> 00:35:39.380
 with

00:35:39.380 --> 00:35:39.740
 Moses

00:35:39.740 --> 00:35:40.579
 and

00:35:40.579 --> 00:35:40.820
 God

00:35:40.820 --> 00:35:41.019
 was

00:35:41.019 --> 00:35:41.240
 saying

00:35:41.240 --> 00:35:41.559
 I'm

00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:41.660
 going

00:35:41.660 --> 00:35:41.740
 to

00:35:41.740 --> 00:35:41.860
 do

00:35:41.860 --> 00:35:42.059
 the

00:35:42.059 --> 00:35:42.280
 same

00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:42.579
 thing

00:35:42.579 --> 00:35:43.140
 you're

00:35:43.140 --> 00:35:43.519
 facing

00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:43.960
 an

00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:44.400
 uncertain

00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:44.900
 future

00:35:44.900 --> 00:35:45.260
 you're

00:35:45.260 --> 00:35:45.500
 going

00:35:45.500 --> 00:35:45.820
 into

00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:46.019
 an

00:35:46.019 --> 00:35:46.380
 unknown

00:35:46.380 --> 00:35:46.760
 land

00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:46.980
 you

00:35:46.980 --> 00:35:47.200
 don't

00:35:47.200 --> 00:35:47.400
 know

00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:47.599
 what

00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:47.900
 lies

00:35:47.900 --> 00:35:48.340
 ahead

00:35:48.340 --> 00:35:50.059
 everything

00:35:50.059 --> 00:35:51.880
 could

00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:52.400
 feel

00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.079
 really

00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:55.600
 scary

00:35:55.600 --> 00:35:58.079
 but the

00:35:58.079 --> 00:35:58.500
 reason that

00:35:58.500 --> 00:35:58.860
 it won't

00:35:58.860 --> 00:35:59.200
 be is

00:35:59.200 --> 00:35:59.700
 because of

00:35:59.700 --> 00:36:00.200
 this simple

00:36:00.200 --> 00:36:00.660
 fact

00:36:00.660 --> 00:36:01.760
 I

 you

00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:04.240
 I

00:36:04.240 --> 00:36:04.480
 will

00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:04.680
 go

00:36:04.680 --> 00:36:04.940
 with

00:36:04.940 --> 00:36:05.140
 you

00:36:05.140 --> 00:36:05.420
 I

00:36:05.420 --> 00:36:05.579

00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:33.980
 face

00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:35.200
 unknowns

 the

00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:37.079
 insecurity

00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:37.340
 and

00:36:37.340 --> 00:36:37.539
 the

00:36:37.539 --> 00:36:37.900
 fears

00:36:37.900 --> 00:36:38.180
 that

00:36:38.180 --> 00:36:38.519
 rise

00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:38.700
 up

00:36:38.700 --> 00:36:38.820
 in

 our

 own

00:36:39.200 --> 00:36:39.700

00:36:39.700 --> 00:36:40.960
 it's

00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:41.200
 so

00:36:41.200 --> 00:36:41.500
 easy

00:36:41.500 --> 00:36:41.740
 for

00:36:41.740 --> 00:36:41.900
 us

00:36:41.900 --> 00:36:42.039
 to

00:36:42.160 --> 00:36:42.300
 I

00:36:42.300 --> 00:36:42.559
 can't

00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:42.720
 do

00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:43.059
 this

00:36:43.059 --> 00:36:44.139
 I

00:36:44.139 --> 00:36:44.500
 can't

00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:44.699
 do

00:36:44.699 --> 00:36:45.159
 this

00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:47.399
 and

00:36:47.399 --> 00:36:47.639
 God

00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:47.879
 looks

00:36:47.879 --> 00:36:48.039
 at

00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:48.219
 us

00:36:48.219 --> 00:36:48.319
 and

00:36:48.319 --> 00:36:48.439
 he

00:36:48.439 --> 00:36:48.619
 says

00:36:48.619 --> 00:36:48.759
 I

00:36:48.759 --> 00:36:48.879
 know

00:36:48.879 --> 00:36:49.079
 you

00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:49.459
 can't

00:36:49.459 --> 00:36:50.279
 that's

00:36:50.279 --> 00:36:50.599
 right

00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:51.579
 you

00:36:51.579 --> 00:36:51.859
 got

00:36:51.859 --> 00:36:52.139
 it

00:36:52.139 --> 00:36:54.019
 but

00:36:54.019 --> 00:36:54.139
 I

00:36:54.139 --> 00:36:54.259
 will

00:36:54.259 --> 00:36:54.399
 be

00:36:54.399 --> 00:36:54.659
 with

00:36:54.659 --> 00:36:54.899
 you

00:36:54.899 --> 00:36:56.179
 and

00:36:56.179 --> 00:36:56.439
 I

00:36:56.439 --> 00:36:56.679
 can

00:36:56.679 --> 00:36:56.899
 do

00:36:56.899 --> 00:36:57.179
 it

00:36:57.179 --> 00:36:59.419
 I

00:36:59.419 --> 00:36:59.599
 am

00:36:59.599 --> 00:36:59.739
 the

00:36:59.739 --> 00:37:00.059
 God

00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:00.299
 who

00:37:00.299 --> 00:37:00.519
 does

00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:01.099
 immeasurably

00:37:01.099 --> 00:37:01.500
 more

00:37:01.500 --> 00:37:02.599
 than

00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:02.759
 you

00:37:02.759 --> 00:37:03.099
 ask

00:37:03.099 --> 00:37:03.359
 or

00:37:03.359 --> 00:37:03.799
 imagine

00:37:03.799 --> 00:37:06.579
 and

00:37:06.579 --> 00:37:06.919
 Moses

00:37:06.919 --> 00:37:07.319
 didn't

00:37:07.319 --> 00:37:07.539
 know

00:37:07.539 --> 00:37:07.719
 it

00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:07.980
 and

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:08.419
 Joshua

00:37:08.419 --> 00:37:08.879
 didn't

00:37:08.879 --> 00:37:09.119
 know

00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:09.359
 it

00:37:09.359 --> 00:37:10.459
 and

00:37:10.459 --> 00:37:10.599
 it

00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:10.779
 took

00:37:10.779 --> 00:37:11.179
 another

00:37:11.179 --> 00:37:13.019
 thousand

00:37:13.019 --> 00:37:13.659
 years

00:37:13.659 --> 00:37:14.359
 more than

00:37:14.359 --> 00:37:14.679
 another

00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:15.139
 thousand

00:37:15.139 --> 00:37:15.699
 years

00:37:15.699 --> 00:37:17.099
 for them

00:37:17.099 --> 00:37:17.440
 to see

00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:18.219
 the degree

00:37:18.219 --> 00:37:18.659
 and the

00:37:18.659 --> 00:37:18.980
 length

00:37:18.980 --> 00:37:19.379
 to which

00:37:19.379 --> 00:37:19.679
 God

00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:20.219
 would go

00:37:20.219 --> 00:37:21.739
 to show

00:37:21.739 --> 00:37:22.399
 how faithful

00:37:22.399 --> 00:37:22.839
 he is

00:37:22.839 --> 00:37:23.179
 to his

00:37:23.179 --> 00:37:23.619
 purposes

00:37:23.619 --> 00:37:24.039
 and his

00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:24.480
 promises

00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:26.500
 to show

00:37:26.500 --> 00:37:27.460
 what extent

00:37:27.460 --> 00:37:28.219
 God would

00:37:28.219 --> 00:37:28.879
 go to

00:37:28.879 --> 00:37:29.699
 to be

00:37:29.699 --> 00:37:30.339
 with us

00:37:30.340 --> 00:37:32.980
 I

00:37:32.980 --> 00:37:33.160
 I don't

00:37:33.160 --> 00:37:33.380
 think

00:37:33.380 --> 00:37:33.700
 anyone

00:37:33.700 --> 00:37:34.200
 imagined

00:37:34.200 --> 00:37:34.539
 the

00:37:34.539 --> 00:37:34.940
 incarnation

00:37:34.940 --> 00:37:35.579
 before

00:37:35.579 --> 00:37:35.760
 it

00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:36.120
 happened

00:37:36.120 --> 00:37:36.960
 I

00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:37.140
 don't

00:37:37.140 --> 00:37:37.340
 think

00:37:37.340 --> 00:37:37.640
 anyone

00:37:37.640 --> 00:37:38.180
 imagined

00:37:38.180 --> 00:37:38.420
 that

00:37:38.420 --> 00:37:38.820
 God

00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:39.059
 would

00:37:39.059 --> 00:37:39.400
 come

00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:39.600
 and

00:37:39.600 --> 00:37:39.920
 be

00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:40.320
 with

00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:40.820
 us

00:37:40.820 --> 00:37:41.800
 that

00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:41.980
 he

00:37:41.980 --> 00:37:42.160
 would

00:37:42.160 --> 00:37:42.400
 be

00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:43.160
 Emmanuel

00:37:43.160 --> 00:37:43.900
 God

00:37:43.900 --> 00:37:44.140
 with

00:37:44.140 --> 00:37:44.440
 us

00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:45.180
 taking

00:37:45.180 --> 00:37:45.559
 on

00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:46.039
 human

00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:46.640
 flesh

00:37:46.640 --> 00:37:48.220
 so

00:37:48.220 --> 00:37:48.380
 that

00:37:48.380 --> 00:37:48.559
 we

00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:48.820
 might

00:37:48.820 --> 00:37:49.240
 know

00:37:49.240 --> 00:37:49.680
 him

00:37:49.680 --> 00:37:50.600
 but

00:37:50.600 --> 00:37:50.900
 more

00:37:50.900 --> 00:37:51.100
 than

00:37:51.100 --> 00:37:51.360
 just

00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:51.539
 so

00:37:51.539 --> 00:37:51.760
 that

00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:51.940
 we

00:37:51.940 --> 00:37:52.180
 might

00:37:52.180 --> 00:37:52.600
 know

00:37:52.600 --> 00:37:52.880
 him

00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:53.039
 as

00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:53.160
 a

00:37:53.160 --> 00:37:53.660
 revelation

00:37:53.660 --> 00:37:53.980
 but

00:37:53.980 --> 00:37:54.240
 so

00:37:54.240 --> 00:37:54.420
 that

00:37:54.420 --> 00:37:54.600
 he

00:37:54.600 --> 00:37:54.840
 might

00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:55.140
 come

00:37:55.140 --> 00:37:55.320
 and

00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:55.519
 be

00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:55.700
 our

00:37:55.700 --> 00:37:56.100
 perfect

00:37:56.100 --> 00:37:56.980
 deliverer

00:37:56.980 --> 00:37:58.760
 who

00:37:58.760 --> 00:37:59.119
 by

00:37:59.119 --> 00:37:59.460
 being

00:37:59.460 --> 00:37:59.840
 with

00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:00.119
 us

00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:00.340
 could

00:38:00.340 --> 00:38:00.599
 then

00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:01.099
 stand

00:38:01.099 --> 00:38:01.659
 for

00:38:01.659 --> 00:38:02.199
 us

00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:03.340
 and

00:38:03.340 --> 00:38:03.840
 rescue

00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:04.539
 us

00:38:04.539 --> 00:38:05.780
 from

00:38:05.780 --> 00:38:06.400
 sin

00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:07.280
 Jesus

00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:07.840
 Christ

00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:08.159
 by

00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:08.420
 his

00:38:08.420 --> 00:38:08.880
 perfect

00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:09.539

00:38:09.539 --> 00:38:10.159
 by

 his

00:38:10.420 --> 00:38:11.000
 sufficient

00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:11.679
 death

00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:12.280

 our

00:40:15.879 --> 00:40:16.359

 not

00:40:23.820 --> 00:40:24.000
 be

00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:24.380
 easy

00:40:24.380 --> 00:40:25.680
 it's

00:40:25.680 --> 00:40:25.820
 going

00:40:25.820 --> 00:40:25.880
 to

00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:26.000
 be

00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:26.300
 really

00:40:26.300 --> 00:40:26.940
 inconvenient

00:40:26.940 --> 00:40:27.240
 I

00:40:27.240 --> 00:40:27.700
 promise

00:40:27.700 --> 00:40:27.960
 you

00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:28.559
 it's

00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:28.700
 going

00:40:28.700 --> 00:40:28.780
 to

00:40:28.780 --> 00:40:28.940
 be

00:40:28.940 --> 00:40:29.500
 inconvenient

00:40:29.500 --> 00:40:30.400
 we

00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:30.599
 need

00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:30.680
 to

00:40:30.680 --> 00:40:30.840
 be

00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:31.079
 ready

00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:31.320
 for

00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:31.620
 that

00:40:31.620 --> 00:40:35.700
 but

00:40:35.700 --> 00:40:35.800
 I

00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:36.000
 hope

00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:36.160
 that

00:40:36.160 --> 00:40:36.440
 you'll

00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:36.740
 go

00:40:36.740 --> 00:40:37.019
 back

00:40:37.019 --> 00:40:37.200
 to

00:40:37.200 --> 00:40:37.579
 Joshua

00:40:37.579 --> 00:40:37.900

00:40:37.900 --> 00:40:38.220
 again

00:40:38.220 --> 00:40:38.420
 and

00:40:38.420 --> 00:40:38.920
 remember

00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:39.800
 that

00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:40.000
 the

00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:41.079
 inconvenience

00:40:41.079 --> 00:40:42.400
 and

00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:42.599
 the

00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:43.099
 scariness

00:40:43.099 --> 00:40:43.380
 of

00:40:43.380 --> 00:40:43.940
 unknowns

00:40:43.940 --> 00:40:45.380
 and the

00:40:45.380 --> 00:40:46.019
 insecurity

00:40:46.019 --> 00:40:46.599
 that we

00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:47.099
 feel

00:40:47.099 --> 00:40:48.679
 and our

00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:49.420
 discomfort

00:40:49.420 --> 00:40:50.380
 with change

00:40:50.380 --> 00:40:50.780
 and new

00:40:50.780 --> 00:40:51.340
 things

00:40:51.340 --> 00:40:53.440
 that they

00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:53.980
 will be

00:40:53.980 --> 00:40:55.260
 met

00:40:55.260 --> 00:40:57.599
 with a

00:40:57.599 --> 00:40:58.039
 confidence

00:40:58.039 --> 00:40:58.659
 in God's

00:40:58.659 --> 00:40:59.019
 word

00:40:59.019 --> 00:41:01.099
 a courage

00:41:01.099 --> 00:41:01.579
 to go

00:41:01.579 --> 00:41:02.099
 forward

00:41:02.099 --> 00:41:05.380
 and a

00:41:05.380 --> 00:41:05.840
 foundation

00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:06.440
 of knowing

00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:07.280
 that God

00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:08.099
 is with

00:41:08.099 --> 00:41:08.480
 us

00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:10.599
 and that

00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:11.019
 he can

00:41:11.019 --> 00:41:11.380
 do

00:41:11.380 --> 00:41:12.900
 immeasurably

00:41:12.900 --> 00:41:13.360
 more than

00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:13.860
 we ask

00:41:13.860 --> 00:41:14.260
 or even

00:41:14.260 --> 00:41:14.680
 imagine

00:41:14.680 --> 00:41:16.820
 let's
