00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.759
 Please take out your copy of God's Word and turn to the book of Acts chapter 16.

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:16.320
 While you're getting there, as we open up the only infallible book that exists,

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:27.100
! Let me speak a bit of a caution to you, which is probably not a caution so much for you as it may be for those that you know.

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:35.800
 The Scriptures are the only infallible text we have in any book or any language.

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.740
 It's only true in that it's consistent with the Scriptures.

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:53.760
 There are many books produced these days, Christian literature, that is not true and is not consistent with the book, the good book.

00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.939
 One such book is a book called The Shack.

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:04.239
 It sold 20 million copies, written by a man named William Paul Young.

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.900
 And you all may know that a movie was just produced based on the book.

00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:18.640
 And whether you think that The Shack is just a bit of allegory that tells a good story, speaks of some of the good quality about God,

00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:23.640
 or whether you find it to be an altogether heretical departure from orthodoxy,

00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:35.319
 some of the unintended consequence of people who claim to follow Jesus buying and going to see such material,

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:41.099
 is that it gives a guy like William Paul Young a voice in our culture.

00:01:42.260 --> 00:01:45.939
 He recently released a book called Lies We Believe About God,

00:01:45.939 --> 00:01:49.340
 where he says this of Christ's death.

00:01:50.299 --> 00:01:52.719
 Who originated the cross?

00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.319
 If God did, then we worship a cosmic abuser,

00:01:57.739 --> 00:02:04.000
 who in divine wisdom created a means to torture human beings in the most painful and abhorrent manner.

00:02:04.759 --> 00:02:09.819
 Frankly, it is often this very cruel and monstrous God that the atheist refuses to acknowledge

00:02:09.819 --> 00:02:12.680
 or grant credibility in any sense.

00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:14.719
 And rightly so.

00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.159
 Better know God at all than this one.

00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.180
 And so, we must be careful,

00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:30.379
 both about what we consume and about what others around us consume.

00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:37.500
 Because a Christianity without the cross is a Christianity without Christ.

00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:40.639
 And there's no Christianity at all.

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:43.979
 Atheists reject the God of the Bible

00:02:43.979 --> 00:02:48.180
 because the Spirit of God has not illuminated Him to them.

00:02:48.699 --> 00:02:51.379
 Not because it's untrue.

00:02:52.860 --> 00:02:55.580
 And so with that in mind, we come to our text today,

00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.340
 which has nothing to do with the shack at all.

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:01.560
 But it's the truth.

00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:09.900
 And our text, as I said, is Acts chapter 16, verses 11 through 15.

00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:16.199
 We're blessed, beloved, this morning to continue our study of Luke's second account of Jesus' ministry.

00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:20.379
 The book of Acts is a record of Jesus' ascended ministry

00:03:20.379 --> 00:03:26.080
 through the agency of the Holy Spirit in the lives of His church.

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:31.520
 This morning, we find ourselves observing a portion of Paul's second missionary journey.

00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:37.260
 Last week, we saw that Paul and Silas and Timothy and now Luke

00:03:37.260 --> 00:03:40.960
 were guided by the Spirit of Jesus.

00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.500
 That's verse 7 of chapter 16.

00:03:44.160 --> 00:03:49.500
 Guided by the Spirit of Jesus in no uncertain terms to depart from Macedonia.

00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:56.360
 Luke states in verse 10 of chapter 16 that immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia,

00:03:56.979 --> 00:04:01.340
 concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:07.719
 And it is with this intention of theirs that we come to our text for today.

00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:11.979
 Beloved, this is God's Word to us.

00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.780
 It was written for His glory and our good.

00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:21.959
 We would all do well to listen to it in order to believe its promises and obey its commands.

00:04:22.579 --> 00:04:24.439
 I begin reading in verse 11.

00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:31.660
 So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace,

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.560
 and the following day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi,

00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:40.620
 which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony.

00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:43.300
 We remained in this city some days.

00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:46.579
 And on the Sabbath day, we went outside the gate to the riverside,

00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.939
 where we supposed there was a place of prayer.

00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:53.500
 And we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.

00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.040
 One who heard us was a woman named Lydia,

00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.100
 from the city of Thyatira,

00:04:59.540 --> 00:05:01.180
 a seller of purple goods,

00:05:01.340 --> 00:05:03.040
 who was a worshiper of God.

00:05:03.780 --> 00:05:07.080
 The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.

00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:10.220
 And after she was baptized, and her household as well,

00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:11.620
 she urged us, saying,

00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.400
 If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord,

00:05:14.820 --> 00:05:16.260
 come to my house and stay.

00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.840
 And she prevailed upon us.

00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:24.960
 After Jesus' resurrection, before His ascension,

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.580
 He stated the following to the disciples in Matthew 28, verses 18-20.

00:05:30.579 --> 00:05:31.979
 He said,

00:05:31.979 --> 00:05:35.419
 All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:38.519
 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:43.379
 baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

00:05:44.180 --> 00:05:46.680
 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

00:05:47.139 --> 00:05:50.879
 And behold, I am with you always to the end of the age.

00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.839
 In similar form, Jesus stated in Acts 1, verse 8,

00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.759
 You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.

00:06:00.299 --> 00:06:02.000
 You will be My witnesses in Jerusalem,

00:06:02.539 --> 00:06:04.099
 and in all Judea and Samaria,

00:06:04.459 --> 00:06:07.000
 and to the end of the earth.

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.039
 From these two texts,

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:14.439
 we can see that Jesus' promise of presence from Matthew 28-20,

00:06:15.019 --> 00:06:16.239
 I am with you always,

00:06:16.919 --> 00:06:18.379
 is fulfilled by the Holy Spirit,

00:06:18.939 --> 00:06:21.219
 and is accompanied by power,

00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:24.900
 which is the all authority in heaven and on earth

00:06:24.900 --> 00:06:28.240
 that Jesus speaks of in Matthew 28-18.

00:06:29.320 --> 00:06:32.040
 And the aim of Jesus' presence and power

00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:33.300
 in the lives of His disciples

00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:36.000
 is the making of disciples

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.120
 by being His witnesses

00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:39.860
 to all nations,

00:06:40.340 --> 00:06:41.680
 to the end of the earth,

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.320
 and everywhere in between.

00:06:45.260 --> 00:06:47.000
 So the scene in today's text

00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:48.920
 is a picture of this work,

00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:52.560
 the presence and the power of the Spirit of Jesus

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.360
 aimed at gospel mission.

00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.400
 That's why I will arrange our study

00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:00.580
 of Acts 16, verses 11-15

00:07:00.580 --> 00:07:02.960
 on the following three points.

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.100
 And of course, I'll come back to these,

00:07:05.180 --> 00:07:07.200
 but this will be the outline today.

00:07:07.780 --> 00:07:08.259
 Number one,

00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:12.580
 the Spirit of Jesus' mission strategy.

00:07:12.740 --> 00:07:15.700
 The Spirit of Jesus' mission strategy.

00:07:15.699 --> 00:07:17.219
 Number two,

00:07:17.300 --> 00:07:20.259
 the Spirit of Jesus' mission power.

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:22.300
 And number three,

00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:26.519
 the Spirit of Jesus' mission result.

00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:29.599
 Well, before we consider the text

00:07:29.599 --> 00:07:31.339
 arranged on those three points,

00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.039
 let's understand the geography

00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:36.139
 and the anthropology of the text.

00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:36.719
 That is to say,

00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.879
 the where and the who of the text.

00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:44.000
 And this is in verse 11 and verse 12.

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.180
 They set sail from Troas.

00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:47.899
 They make a voyage to Samothrace,

00:07:48.139 --> 00:07:49.620
 the following day to Neopolis,

00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:51.100
 then to Philippi,

00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:53.220
 which is a district of Macedonia

00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:54.819
 and a Roman colony.

00:07:55.579 --> 00:07:56.920
 I don't know if it helps you.

00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.199
 I like knowing where in the world

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:00.019
 we are talking about.

00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:01.139
 So I don't know if that map is still,

00:08:01.220 --> 00:08:02.199
 hey, it's up there already.

00:08:02.339 --> 00:08:03.160
 That's fantastic.

00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.000
 I was told last week

00:08:05.620 --> 00:08:06.819
 that this got a little bit confusing,

00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:09.180
 and so I apologize if it is.

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.339
 I don't have a laser pointer.

00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:11.199
 I need to get one.

00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:15.319
 If you'll note the region labeled here Asia,

00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:17.560
 recall that the Spirit of God

00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.099
 has moved this missionary company across Asia

00:08:21.099 --> 00:08:22.920
 to not preach the gospel there.

00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:26.279
 They're pressing on in this Macedonian call.

00:08:26.719 --> 00:08:28.579
 And so from the port city of Troas

00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:31.939
 up in the northwest corner there of Asia,

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.700
 from the port city of Troas,

00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:35.319
 they sail to a little island

00:08:35.319 --> 00:08:38.039
 right up in the now northeast corner

00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.240
 of the Aegean Sea called Samothrace.

00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.679
 It's in weird gray all-cap letters there.

00:08:45.259 --> 00:08:46.719
 Little island of Samothrace.

00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:47.759
 They stay there overnight,

00:08:48.259 --> 00:08:51.819
 likely to avoid the danger of sailing at nighttime.

00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:53.439
 We're not really sure.

00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.019
 And the next day they sail on.

00:08:56.099 --> 00:08:56.959
 Again, we're moving up

00:08:56.959 --> 00:08:59.039
 in this northwestern fashion to Neopolis,

00:08:59.039 --> 00:08:59.599
 Neopolis,

00:08:59.779 --> 00:09:01.759
 and then just ten miles inland

00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.860
 to Philippi.

00:09:05.500 --> 00:09:08.199
 Now, Philippi was a leading city

00:09:08.199 --> 00:09:09.740
 of the district of Macedonia,

00:09:10.599 --> 00:09:12.899
 and it was a Roman colony.

00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:15.860
 It was named after Philip II of Macedon,

00:09:15.939 --> 00:09:17.240
 which was Alexander the Great's father.

00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.779
 It was the far eastern terminus,

00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:23.719
 the end of the great Roman highway

00:09:23.719 --> 00:09:26.099
 known as the Via Ignatia,

00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:28.659
 or the Ignatian Highway.

00:09:29.659 --> 00:09:31.539
 So Philippi was an important hub

00:09:31.539 --> 00:09:34.360
 for the spread of the gospel westward.

00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:36.579
 And this is where they've been taken to, right?

00:09:36.599 --> 00:09:38.759
 We see them speeding their way along

00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.759
 to the city of Philippi.

00:09:42.199 --> 00:09:44.599
 And it's here in Philippi

00:09:44.599 --> 00:09:47.559
 that they remained for some days

00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:49.899
 and where we can learn something

00:09:49.899 --> 00:09:54.199
 of the spirit of Jesus' mission strategy,

00:09:54.339 --> 00:09:55.079
 which is our first point.

00:09:55.339 --> 00:09:56.120
 You can take that map down

00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:56.919
 if you'd like, Natalie.

00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.279
 Verse 13,

00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:01.939
 we read that on the Sabbath day,

00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:04.479
 they go outside the gate

00:10:04.479 --> 00:10:05.559
 to the riverside

00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:07.779
 where they supposed

00:10:07.779 --> 00:10:09.559
 there was a place of prayer.

00:10:10.199 --> 00:10:11.059
 And they sit down

00:10:11.059 --> 00:10:12.339
 and they speak to the women

00:10:12.339 --> 00:10:14.319
 who had come together.

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:16.439
 We have observed

00:10:16.439 --> 00:10:17.919
 that it was Paul's habit

00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:19.439
 to visit the local synagogue

00:10:19.439 --> 00:10:20.860
 on the Sabbath

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:22.360
 in order to persuade the Jews

00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.000
 that the promise of a Messiah

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.340
 had been fulfilled in Jesus.

00:10:26.740 --> 00:10:27.259
 Now recall,

00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:28.879
 there are still Jews

00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:30.639
 scattered all over the place

00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.879
 back from Babylonian captivity.

00:10:33.060 --> 00:10:34.659
 Not every Jew had returned.

00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:35.200
 Right now,

00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.500
 we have descendants of those Jews

00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:39.940
 living all over the place.

00:10:40.139 --> 00:10:41.360
 And in many cities,

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:42.659
 there was a synagogue.

00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.419
 And it was a strategic place to go

00:10:44.419 --> 00:10:45.379
 because these are people

00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:46.420
 who worshipped

00:10:46.420 --> 00:10:47.920
 the God of the Old Testament.

00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:48.279
 Right?

00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:49.480
 They knew about the promise

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:50.699
 of a coming Messiah.

00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.459
 So it was a wonderful starting place

00:10:52.459 --> 00:10:55.000
 for Paul to preach the gospel.

00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.159
 But we see here,

00:10:57.339 --> 00:10:57.980
 in Philippi,

00:10:58.379 --> 00:10:59.799
 there's a very small

00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:00.740
 Jewish population

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:03.500
 and no synagogue.

00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:05.459
 We can know this

00:11:05.459 --> 00:11:07.339
 because in order to establish

00:11:07.339 --> 00:11:08.100
 a synagogue,

00:11:08.899 --> 00:11:09.879
 a city had to have

00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:11.299
 ten Jewish men

00:11:11.299 --> 00:11:12.439
 who were the heads

00:11:12.439 --> 00:11:13.459
 of households.

00:11:13.959 --> 00:11:15.360
 That doesn't seem to exist here.

00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:17.139
 In the city of Philippi,

00:11:17.139 --> 00:11:19.259
 there is no synagogue.

00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:20.519
 When a synagogue

00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:21.860
 could not be established,

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:23.279
 a place of prayer

00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.179
 would be formed

00:11:24.179 --> 00:11:25.299
 outside,

00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:26.840
 near a sea,

00:11:27.319 --> 00:11:27.960
 or a river.

00:11:29.019 --> 00:11:29.779
 So when able to find

00:11:29.779 --> 00:11:30.740
 a synagogue within the city,

00:11:30.819 --> 00:11:31.620
 this is why we see

00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:32.539
 Paul and his companions

00:11:32.539 --> 00:11:34.259
 heading outside the gate

00:11:34.259 --> 00:11:34.939
 to the riverside

00:11:34.939 --> 00:11:36.879
 where we supposed

00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.039
 there was a place of prayer.

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:39.539
 This is why.

00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:40.539
 They couldn't find a synagogue,

00:11:40.539 --> 00:11:41.679
 so it made sense

00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.240
 that they would go

00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:43.059
 outside the gate

00:11:43.059 --> 00:11:44.319
 along the river

00:11:44.319 --> 00:11:46.319
 to find this place.

00:11:47.139 --> 00:11:47.759
 of prayer.

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:49.759
 Now when speaking

00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:50.460
 of the spirit

00:11:50.460 --> 00:11:52.319
 of Jesus' mission strategy,

00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:53.799
 let me be clear here,

00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:55.460
 I do not mean to speak

00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:56.740
 to his strategy

00:11:56.740 --> 00:11:57.879
 in its entirety.

00:11:58.580 --> 00:11:59.559
 You can get very lost

00:11:59.559 --> 00:11:59.919
 if you think

00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:01.139
 this is the entirety

00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:03.720
 of Jesus' mission strategy

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:04.439
 on earth.

00:12:04.659 --> 00:12:06.179
 But simply to show you this,

00:12:06.899 --> 00:12:08.699
 the spirit of Jesus

00:12:08.699 --> 00:12:10.879
 exalts the person

00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.399
 and work of Jesus Christ

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.600
 in unexpected places

00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.860
 to unexpected people.

00:12:16.980 --> 00:12:17.639
 So this is part

00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.300
 of his mission strategy.

00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:20.580
 Unexpected places

00:12:20.580 --> 00:12:23.560
 to unexpected people.

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:26.420
 Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1,

00:12:26.620 --> 00:12:27.659
 verse 27,

00:12:28.060 --> 00:12:30.220
 God chose what is foolish

00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:30.960
 in the world

00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:32.420
 to shame the wise.

00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:34.139
 God chose what is weak

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:35.379
 in the world

00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:37.899
 to shame the strong.

00:12:39.300 --> 00:12:40.360
 Paul and his companions

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:41.500
 shared the gospel

00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:42.539
 of Jesus Christ

00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:43.960
 with women.

00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:46.799
 Not only was the Jewish community

00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:47.879
 too small

00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:48.620
 for a synagogue

00:12:48.620 --> 00:12:49.539
 to exist,

00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:51.480
 but the only people

00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:52.279
 in attendance

00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:53.919
 at the place of prayer

00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:54.659
 were women

00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:56.579
 who in this day

00:12:56.579 --> 00:12:57.639
 were considered

00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:59.519
 second class citizens.

00:13:00.740 --> 00:13:02.719
 Let this text serve you

00:13:02.719 --> 00:13:05.559
 if anybody ever makes a claim

00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:06.360
 that Christianity

00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:08.959
 is oppressive to women.

00:13:09.299 --> 00:13:10.620
 Let this text serve you.

00:13:10.939 --> 00:13:12.219
 Here we see Paul

00:13:12.219 --> 00:13:14.379
 having seen a vision

00:13:14.379 --> 00:13:16.199
 of a Macedonian man

00:13:16.199 --> 00:13:17.480
 asking for help,

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:19.139
 sharing instead

00:13:19.139 --> 00:13:20.459
 with anyone

00:13:20.459 --> 00:13:21.699
 who would listen.

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.500
 The Pharisees of Paul's day

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:25.600
 would have found this

00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.399
 atrocious.

00:13:28.259 --> 00:13:29.379
 The Pharisees of Paul's day

00:13:29.379 --> 00:13:30.659
 would not teach women

00:13:30.659 --> 00:13:32.500
 and in their prayers

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:33.379
 they would regularly

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:34.000
 thank God

00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:34.759
 that they were neither

00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:35.720
 Gentiles,

00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:37.279
 slaves,

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:38.600
 or women.

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:40.320
 Very oppressive.

00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.580
 Now Paul never denied

00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:44.419
 the uniqueness

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:46.720
 of God's good creation

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.240
 of the genders.

00:13:48.659 --> 00:13:48.980
 In fact,

00:13:49.019 --> 00:13:50.179
 he makes much defense

00:13:50.179 --> 00:13:51.179
 of that

00:13:51.179 --> 00:13:52.559
 in other texts.

00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.079
 But stated in Galatians 3,

00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:55.879
 verse 28,

00:13:56.599 --> 00:13:57.459
 Paul says this,

00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:58.479
 there is neither Jew

00:13:58.479 --> 00:13:58.959
 nor Greek,

00:13:59.500 --> 00:14:00.519
 there is neither slave

00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:01.059
 nor free,

00:14:01.219 --> 00:14:02.399
 there is no male

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:03.539
 and female.

00:14:04.099 --> 00:14:05.399
 For you are all one

00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:08.159
 in Christ Jesus.

00:14:09.439 --> 00:14:10.579
 Paul affirms

00:14:10.579 --> 00:14:11.319
 that while male

00:14:11.319 --> 00:14:11.979
 and female

00:14:11.979 --> 00:14:12.859
 are different

00:14:12.859 --> 00:14:14.000
 in design,

00:14:14.719 --> 00:14:15.879
 before God

00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:17.299
 we are positionally

00:14:17.299 --> 00:14:18.739
 the same.

00:14:18.740 --> 00:14:20.060
 in Christ

00:14:20.060 --> 00:14:21.799
 we are Christians.

00:14:23.060 --> 00:14:23.720
 Christianity,

00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:25.220
 properly applied,

00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:27.779
 lifts women up

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:29.740
 and maximizes

00:14:29.740 --> 00:14:31.759
 their God-ordered

00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.120
 femininity.

00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:36.779
 Beloved females,

00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:36.779
!

00:14:37.340 --> 00:14:37.419
 I think

00:14:37.419 --> 00:14:38.940
 feminism

00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:40.360
 is never

00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:41.360
 your servant.

00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:44.039
 A God-ordered

00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:46.060
 gender equality,

00:14:46.059 --> 00:14:47.699
 God-ordered,

00:14:48.179 --> 00:14:49.199
 found positionally

00:14:49.199 --> 00:14:49.899
 in Christ

00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:50.559
 before God

00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:51.179
 the same

00:14:51.179 --> 00:14:52.299
 but meant

00:14:52.299 --> 00:14:53.000
 to serve

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:54.259
 different roles

00:14:54.259 --> 00:14:55.019
 and be fulfilled

00:14:55.019 --> 00:14:55.819
 in those roles

00:14:55.819 --> 00:14:56.659
 is

00:14:56.659 --> 00:14:58.419
 to your benefit.

00:15:00.099 --> 00:15:00.959
 So we see

00:15:00.959 --> 00:15:01.959
 Paul and his companions

00:15:01.959 --> 00:15:03.319
 sit down

00:15:03.319 --> 00:15:04.279
 and speak to the women

00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:06.199
 who had come together.

00:15:06.299 --> 00:15:06.639
 But what

00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:07.859
 do they say?

00:15:08.239 --> 00:15:09.159
 What do they say?

00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:10.439
 Luke's very brief account

00:15:10.439 --> 00:15:10.959
 just says

00:15:10.959 --> 00:15:11.819
 that they spoke

00:15:11.819 --> 00:15:12.839
 to the women.

00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:14.619
 As evidenced later

00:15:14.620 --> 00:15:15.159
 in the text

00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:16.220
 by Lydia's

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:17.060
 belief,

00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:18.060
 they shared

00:15:18.060 --> 00:15:18.779
 the good news

00:15:18.779 --> 00:15:19.279
 of Jesus

00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:20.100
 with them.

00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:21.320
 This is the content

00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:22.879
 of their

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:24.060
 conversation.

00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:25.659
 They spoke

00:15:25.659 --> 00:15:27.360
 to the women

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.460
 of the Creator God

00:15:29.460 --> 00:15:30.759
 and His good

00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:31.500
 law,

00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:31.919
 which they were

00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:33.080
 likely aware of

00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:33.460
 as they were

00:15:33.460 --> 00:15:34.379
 gathering in a place

00:15:34.379 --> 00:15:35.419
 of prayer.

00:15:36.299 --> 00:15:37.120
 They spoke to them

00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:37.960
 of their failure

00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:38.940
 to keep the law

00:15:38.940 --> 00:15:40.039
 and the punishment

00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:41.019
 due them

00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:42.139
 accordingly.

00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:44.560
 They spoke to them

00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:45.399
 of Jesus'

00:15:45.619 --> 00:15:46.899
 perfect keeping

00:15:46.899 --> 00:15:48.239
 of that law

00:15:48.239 --> 00:15:48.639
 and of His

00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:50.679
 atoning sacrifice

00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.259
 on the cross.

00:15:53.379 --> 00:15:54.339
 They spoke to them

00:15:54.339 --> 00:15:54.659
 of Jesus'

00:15:54.839 --> 00:15:55.359
 resurrection

00:15:55.359 --> 00:15:56.119
 and His

00:15:56.119 --> 00:15:57.959
 subsequent ascension

00:15:57.959 --> 00:15:59.519
 and of their

00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:00.959
 need for repentance

00:16:00.959 --> 00:16:02.519
 and belief.

00:16:02.599 --> 00:16:03.079
 They shared

00:16:03.079 --> 00:16:04.479
 the good news

00:16:04.479 --> 00:16:05.639
 of Jesus

00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:07.059
 Christ

00:16:07.059 --> 00:16:09.199
 in an unexpected

00:16:09.199 --> 00:16:09.819
 place

00:16:09.819 --> 00:16:11.159
 to unexpected

00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:12.419
 people.

00:16:12.419 --> 00:16:12.500
 people.

00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:14.419
 So we see,

00:16:14.579 --> 00:16:15.000
 number one,

00:16:15.079 --> 00:16:15.659
 the Spirit

00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:16.159
 of Jesus'

00:16:16.339 --> 00:16:16.879
 mission

00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:18.059
 strategy,

00:16:18.199 --> 00:16:18.799
 the gospel

00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:19.419
 spoken

00:16:19.419 --> 00:16:21.000
 in unexpected

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.439
 places

00:16:21.439 --> 00:16:22.319
 to unexpected

00:16:22.319 --> 00:16:23.159
 people.

00:16:24.099 --> 00:16:24.939
 Now let's look

00:16:24.939 --> 00:16:25.519
 at the second

00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:25.899
 point,

00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:26.479
 the Spirit

00:16:26.479 --> 00:16:26.919
 of Jesus'

00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:27.860
 mission

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:29.339
 power.

00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:31.259
 The Spirit

00:16:31.259 --> 00:16:31.579
 of Jesus'

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:32.159
 mission

00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.039
 power.

00:16:34.299 --> 00:16:35.079
 Verse 14,

00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:35.759
 we see that

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:36.280
 one who

00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:37.020
 heard us

00:16:37.020 --> 00:16:38.639
 was a woman

00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:39.820
 named Lydia

00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:41.180
 from the city

00:16:41.180 --> 00:16:42.100
 of Thyatira,

00:16:42.280 --> 00:16:42.860
 a seller of

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:43.520
 purple goods

00:16:43.520 --> 00:16:44.940
 who was a

00:16:44.940 --> 00:16:45.600
 worshiper of

00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:45.960
 God.

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.040
 The Lord

00:16:47.040 --> 00:16:47.759
 opened her

00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:48.500
 heart to pay

00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:49.180
 attention to

00:16:49.180 --> 00:16:49.820
 what was said

00:16:49.820 --> 00:16:51.080
 by Paul.

00:16:52.420 --> 00:16:53.400
 Luke records

00:16:53.400 --> 00:16:54.080
 for us the

00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:55.080
 conversion

00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:58.960
 of the first

00:16:58.960 --> 00:16:59.860
 European

00:16:59.860 --> 00:17:00.759
 Christian,

00:17:01.140 --> 00:17:01.720
 a woman

00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:02.740
 called

00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:03.500
 Lydia

00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:04.500
 who was

00:17:04.500 --> 00:17:04.759
 from the

00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:05.079
 city of

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:05.600
 Thyatira

00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:05.900
 which was

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:06.120
 in the

00:17:06.120 --> 00:17:06.740
 province

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:07.400
 of

00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:08.420
 Lydia.

00:17:09.019 --> 00:17:09.600
 It's likely

00:17:09.600 --> 00:17:09.900
 that she

00:17:09.900 --> 00:17:10.360
 is called

00:17:10.360 --> 00:17:10.620
 Lydia

00:17:10.620 --> 00:17:11.039
 for that

00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:11.420
 reason.

00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:11.819
 She was

00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:12.259
 probably

00:17:12.259 --> 00:17:13.140
 the woman

00:17:13.140 --> 00:17:13.640
 from Lydia

00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:14.700
 is the way

00:17:14.700 --> 00:17:14.940
 she would

00:17:14.940 --> 00:17:15.160
 have been

00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:15.519
 known

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:16.860
 in Philippi

00:17:16.860 --> 00:17:17.100
 and so

00:17:17.100 --> 00:17:17.360
 she was

00:17:17.360 --> 00:17:17.559
 called

00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:17.880
 Lydia

00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:18.940
 probably

00:17:18.940 --> 00:17:19.299
 for that

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:19.559
 reason

00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:19.799
 unless

00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:19.940
 her

00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:20.200
 parents

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:20.460
 were

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:21.420
 clever.

00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:21.640
 I'm

00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:21.779
 glad

00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:21.960
 my

00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:22.480
 parents

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:22.680
 didn't

00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:22.900
 name

00:17:22.900 --> 00:17:23.140
 me

00:17:23.140 --> 00:17:23.700
 Gwinnett.

00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:26.079
 She

00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:26.480
 was a

00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:26.799
 seller

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.220
 of

00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:27.880
 purple

00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:27.880


00:17:28.059 --> 00:17:28.460
 goods

00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:28.799
 and this

00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:28.940
 is

00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:29.559
 significant.

00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:30.160
 Purple

00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:30.480
 dye

00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.100
 was made

00:17:31.099 --> 00:17:31.519
 from

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:33.599
 the

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:34.559
 glands

00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:34.699
 of

00:17:34.699 --> 00:17:34.799
 a

00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:34.959
 very

00:17:34.959 --> 00:17:35.359
 particular

00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:35.959
 shellfish

00:17:35.959 --> 00:17:36.879
 or

00:17:36.879 --> 00:17:37.099
 from

00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:37.279
 the

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:37.619
 roots

00:17:37.619 --> 00:17:37.819
 of

00:17:37.819 --> 00:17:37.959
 a

00:17:37.959 --> 00:17:38.279
 plant

00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:38.659
 called

00:17:38.659 --> 00:17:38.859
 the

00:17:38.859 --> 00:17:39.399
 matter

00:17:39.399 --> 00:17:39.799
 plant

00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:40.119
 both

00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:40.319
 which

00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:40.459
 were

00:17:40.459 --> 00:17:40.759
 very

00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:41.240
 rare

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:42.079
 and

00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:42.579
 therefore

00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:43.419
 cloth

00:17:43.419 --> 00:17:43.819
 that was

00:17:43.819 --> 00:17:44.179
 purple

00:17:44.179 --> 00:17:44.480
 was

00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:45.279
 very

00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:46.439
 expensive

00:17:46.439 --> 00:17:47.199
 and

00:17:47.199 --> 00:17:47.539
 as

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:47.759
 such

00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:48.079
 purple

00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:48.439
 garments

00:17:48.439 --> 00:17:48.619
 were

00:17:48.619 --> 00:17:49.039
 only

00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:49.459
 worn

00:17:49.459 --> 00:17:50.319
 by

00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:50.519
 the

00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:51.179
 extremely

00:17:51.179 --> 00:17:52.019
 wealthy

00:17:52.019 --> 00:17:52.579
 and

00:17:52.579 --> 00:17:52.719
 this

00:17:52.719 --> 00:17:52.859
 was

00:17:52.859 --> 00:17:53.240
 likely

00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:53.439
 a

00:17:53.439 --> 00:17:53.619
 very

00:17:53.619 --> 00:17:54.240
 lucrative

00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:54.779
 business

00:17:54.779 --> 00:17:55.119
 that

00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:55.399
 Lydia

00:17:55.399 --> 00:17:55.779
 was

00:17:55.779 --> 00:17:56.659
 engaged

00:17:56.659 --> 00:17:56.839
 in.

00:17:56.899 --> 00:17:56.959
 She

00:17:56.959 --> 00:17:57.159
 was

00:17:57.159 --> 00:17:57.759
 doing

00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:58.740
 well

00:17:58.740 --> 00:17:58.980
 for

00:17:58.980 --> 00:17:59.539
 herself.

00:17:59.539 --> 00:18:01.099
 Verse 15

00:18:01.099 --> 00:18:01.519
 tells us

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:01.759
 that she

00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:02.059
 had a

00:18:02.059 --> 00:18:02.319
 house

00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:02.680
 large

00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:03.019
 enough

00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:03.240
 to

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:03.720
 host

00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:04.539
 the

00:18:04.539 --> 00:18:04.879
 missionary

00:18:04.879 --> 00:18:05.399
 team.

00:18:05.579 --> 00:18:05.759
 She

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:06.059
 invited

00:18:06.059 --> 00:18:06.220
 them

00:18:06.220 --> 00:18:06.379
 to

00:18:06.379 --> 00:18:07.200
 host

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:07.420
 them

00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:07.539
 and

00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:07.720
 she

00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:08.379
 prevailed

00:18:08.379 --> 00:18:08.659
 upon

00:18:08.659 --> 00:18:08.799
 them

00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:09.119
 convinced

00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:09.420
 them

00:18:09.420 --> 00:18:09.980
 to

00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:10.279
 come

00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:11.099
 and

00:18:11.099 --> 00:18:11.859
 likely

00:18:11.859 --> 00:18:12.299
 the

00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:12.579
 church

00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:12.799
 that

00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:13.379
 develops

00:18:13.379 --> 00:18:13.619
 in

00:18:13.619 --> 00:18:14.220
 Philippi

00:18:14.220 --> 00:18:14.799
 met

00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:15.099
 at

00:18:15.099 --> 00:18:15.460
 her

00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:16.039
 home

00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:16.240
 which

00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:16.379
 we

00:18:16.379 --> 00:18:16.579
 get

00:18:16.579 --> 00:18:16.980
 some

00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:17.339
 hint

00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:17.579
 of

00:18:17.579 --> 00:18:17.759
 in

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.059
 verse

00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:18.759
 40

00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:19.059
 of

00:18:19.059 --> 00:18:19.539
 the

00:18:19.539 --> 00:18:19.759
 same

00:18:20.159 --> 00:18:20.619
 chapter

00:18:20.619 --> 00:18:21.659
 16

00:18:21.659 --> 00:18:22.319
 so

00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:23.079
 Lydia

00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:23.440
 was

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:23.759
 doing

00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:24.299
 well

00:18:24.299 --> 00:18:24.519
 for

00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:25.019
 herself

00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:25.259
 and

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:25.420
 was

00:18:25.420 --> 00:18:25.599
 able

00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:25.740
 to

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:25.960
 turn

 into

00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:26.839
 service

00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:27.839

00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:28.459

00:18:28.459 --> 00:18:29.740
 so

00:18:29.740 --> 00:18:29.919
 the

00:18:29.919 --> 00:18:30.179
 spirit

00:18:30.179 --> 00:18:30.359
 of

00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:30.699
 Jesus

00:18:30.699 --> 00:18:31.079
 mission

00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:31.639
 power

00:18:31.639 --> 00:18:32.500
 is

00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:32.699
 the

00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:28.580
 is

00:20:28.580 --> 00:20:28.779
 due

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:35.259

00:20:39.560 --> 00:20:39.900
 God

00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:40.320
 just

00:20:40.320 --> 00:20:40.580
 an

00:20:40.580 --> 00:20:40.840
 author

00:20:40.840 --> 00:20:41.440
 but

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:41.540
 it

00:20:41.540 --> 00:20:41.700
 makes

00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:41.880
 this

00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:42.279
 point

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:43.279
 if

00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:43.400
 you've

00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:43.500
 been

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:43.660
 here

00:20:43.660 --> 00:20:43.779
 a

00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:43.960
 while

00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:44.180
 you've

00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:44.279
 heard

00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:44.400
 me

00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:44.580
 read

00:20:44.580 --> 00:20:44.840
 this

00:20:44.840 --> 00:20:45.460
 before

00:20:45.460 --> 00:20:47.140
 oh

00:20:47.140 --> 00:20:47.620
 long

00:20:47.620 --> 00:20:48.140
 and

00:20:48.140 --> 00:20:48.580
 dark

00:20:48.580 --> 00:20:48.920
 the

00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:49.279
 stairs

00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:49.480
 I

00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:49.920
 trod

00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:50.820
 with

00:20:50.820 --> 00:20:51.200
 trembling

00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:51.740
 feet

00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:52.200
 to

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:52.660
 find

00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:53.279
 my

00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:53.680
 God

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:54.880
 gaining

00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:55.080
 a

00:20:55.080 --> 00:20:55.500
 foothold

00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:55.759
 bit

00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:55.940
 by

00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:56.300
 bit

00:20:56.300 --> 00:20:56.680
 then

00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:57.160
 slipping

00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:57.580
 back

00:20:57.580 --> 00:20:58.240
 and

00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:58.500
 losing

00:20:58.500 --> 00:20:58.860
 it

00:20:58.860 --> 00:21:00.019
 never

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:00.680
 progressing

00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:01.880
 striving

00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:02.500
 still

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:03.040
 with

00:21:03.040 --> 00:21:03.519
 weakening

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:04.100
 grasp

00:21:04.100 --> 00:21:04.440
 and

00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:05.080
 faltering

00:21:05.080 --> 00:21:06.000
 will

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:07.340
 bleeding

00:21:07.340 --> 00:21:07.680
 to

00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:08.000
 climb

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:08.160
 to

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:08.500
 God

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:08.740
 while

00:21:08.740 --> 00:21:09.240
 he

00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:10.279
 serenely

00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:10.800
 smiled

00:21:10.800 --> 00:21:11.640
 not

00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:11.940
 noting

00:21:11.940 --> 00:21:12.259
 me

00:21:12.259 --> 00:21:13.580
 then

00:21:13.580 --> 00:21:13.820
 came

00:21:13.820 --> 00:21:13.960
 a

00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:14.120
 certain

00:21:14.120 --> 00:21:14.500
 time

00:21:14.500 --> 00:21:14.680
 when

00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:15.080
 I

00:21:15.080 --> 00:21:16.000
 loosened

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:16.279
 my

00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:16.820
 hold

00:21:16.820 --> 00:21:17.180
 and

00:21:17.180 --> 00:21:17.680
 fell

00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:18.220
 thereby

00:21:18.220 --> 00:21:19.500
 down

00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:19.680
 to

00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:19.819
 the

00:21:19.819 --> 00:21:20.180
 lowest

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:20.660
 step

00:21:20.660 --> 00:21:20.880
 my

00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:21.220
 fall

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:21.420
 as

00:21:21.420 --> 00:21:21.619
 if

00:21:21.619 --> 00:21:21.759
 I

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:21.980
 had

00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:22.259
 not

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:22.880
 climbed

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:23.400
 at

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:23.759
 all

00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:25.079
 now

00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:25.299
 when

00:21:25.299 --> 00:21:25.460
 I

00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:25.880
 lay

00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:26.880
 despairing

00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:27.420
 there

00:21:27.420 --> 00:21:28.640
 listen

00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:29.740
 a

00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:30.259
 footfall

00:21:30.259 --> 00:21:30.740
 on

00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:31.140
 the

00:21:31.140 --> 00:21:31.619
 stair

00:21:31.619 --> 00:21:32.740
 on

00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:33.039
 that

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:33.420
 same

00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:33.900
 stair

00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:34.140
 where

00:21:34.140 --> 00:21:34.480
 I

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:35.079
 afraid

00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:35.980
 faltered

00:21:35.980 --> 00:21:36.680
 and fell

00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:37.619
 and lay

00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:38.880
 dismayed

00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:40.339
 and low

00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:41.099
 when hope

00:21:41.099 --> 00:21:41.880
 had ceased

00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:41.900
!

00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:42.359
 to be

00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:43.299
 my

00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:43.819
 God

00:21:43.819 --> 00:21:44.559
 came down

00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:44.799
 the

00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:45.339
 stairs

00:21:45.339 --> 00:21:46.459
 to

00:21:46.459 --> 00:21:46.779
 me

00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:48.059
 and

00:21:48.059 --> 00:21:48.139
 there

00:21:48.139 --> 00:21:48.240
 is

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:48.379
 a

00:21:48.379 --> 00:21:48.759
 picture

00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:49.579
 of

00:21:49.579 --> 00:21:49.980
 the

00:21:49.980 --> 00:21:50.539
 gospel

00:21:50.539 --> 00:21:51.799
 us

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:53.039
 helpless

00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:54.579
 not

00:21:54.579 --> 00:21:55.279
 drowning

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:55.720
 and being

00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:56.000
 thrown

00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:56.139
 a

00:21:56.139 --> 00:21:56.359
 life

00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:56.720
 preserver

00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:56.980
 but

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:57.439
 dead

00:21:57.439 --> 00:21:57.599
 at

00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:57.759
 the

00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:58.079
 bottom

00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:58.639
 of

00:21:58.639 --> 00:21:58.759
 the

00:21:58.759 --> 00:21:59.059
 sea

00:21:59.059 --> 00:22:00.339
 and

00:22:00.339 --> 00:22:00.699
 Jesus

00:22:00.699 --> 00:22:01.179
 dives

00:22:01.179 --> 00:22:01.480
 in

00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:02.159
 and

00:22:02.159 --> 00:22:02.279
 he

00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:02.579
 pulls

00:22:02.579 --> 00:22:02.759
 our

00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:02.959
 dead

00:22:02.959 --> 00:22:03.259
 bodies

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:03.399

00:22:03.539 --> 00:22:03.839

00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:04.099
 and

00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:04.240
 he

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:04.839
 breathes

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:05.480
 life

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.299
 into

00:22:06.299 --> 00:22:06.759
 us

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.639
 and

00:22:07.639 --> 00:22:07.759
 we

00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:08.159
 believe

00:22:08.159 --> 00:22:10.079
 in

00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:10.220
 our

 text

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:10.740
 Luke

00:22:10.740 --> 00:22:11.099
 states

00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:11.259
 that

 the

 said

 credo

00:27:13.180 --> 00:27:13.539
 baptism

00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:13.960
 is

00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:14.440
 biblical

00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:15.480
 and

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:15.639
 that

00:27:15.639 --> 00:27:15.839
 it's

00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:16.379
 clear

00:27:16.379 --> 00:27:17.920
 and

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:18.220
 nowhere

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:19.000
 expressly

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:19.460
 commands

00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:19.740
 in the

 Bible

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:20.379
 that

00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:21.099
 baptism

00:27:21.099 --> 00:27:22.180
 should

00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:22.299
 be

00:27:22.299 --> 00:27:22.639
 practiced

00:27:22.639 --> 00:27:22.839
 nor

00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:22.980
 does

 it

 anywhere

00:27:24.879 --> 00:27:25.200
 it

00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:27.079
 so

00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:28.000
 the

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:28.220
 point

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:28.480
 is

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:28.619
 we

00:27:28.619 --> 00:27:28.799
 should

00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:28.960
 be

00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:29.379
 charitable

00:27:29.379 --> 00:27:31.259
 we

00:27:31.259 --> 00:27:31.379
 should

00:27:31.379 --> 00:27:31.639
 be

00:27:31.639 --> 00:27:32.440
 charitable

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.059
 I

00:27:33.059 --> 00:27:33.180
 don't

00:27:33.180 --> 00:27:33.440
 find

00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:33.539
 it

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:33.619
 to

00:27:33.619 --> 00:27:33.700
 be

00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:33.799
 a

00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:34.059
 particularly

00:27:34.059 --> 00:27:34.379
 great

00:27:34.379 --> 00:27:34.700
 thing

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:35.019
 but

00:27:35.019 --> 00:27:35.180
 some

00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:35.379
 people

00:27:35.379 --> 00:27:35.599
 do

00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:35.839
 is

00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:35.940
 what

00:27:35.940 --> 00:27:36.400
 I'm

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:37.019
 suggesting

00:27:37.019 --> 00:27:38.339
 so

00:27:38.339 --> 00:27:40.240
 let's

00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:40.419

00:27:40.419 --> 00:27:40.559
 our

00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:40.919

00:27:40.919 --> 00:27:42.399
 and

00:27:42.399 --> 00:27:42.740
 let's

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:43.299
 contend

00:27:43.299 --> 00:27:44.259

00:27:44.679 --> 00:27:46.279

00:27:48.059 --> 00:27:48.259

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:48.399
 we

00:27:48.399 --> 00:27:49.019
 hold

 I

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:43.879
