00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080
 If you haven't got a Bible in front of you, I'd encourage you to do that right now.

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:07.480
 Stick your hand up. Our hosts will come around and give you one to you.

00:00:07.860 --> 00:00:11.560
 You need it in front of you. Galatians chapter 2 is where we're up to.

00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:17.000
 Last week we were in Galatians chapter 2. We're moving on a bit further.

00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:23.640
 We saw in chapter 2 verses 4 and 5 last week that there were certain

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:32.620
 professing Jewish Christians from Jerusalem who tried to compel Titus,

00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:36.939
 a Greek Christian, to be circumcised.

00:00:38.539 --> 00:00:42.500
 And the Apostle Paul refused to submit to this pressure.

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:51.299
 And the reason he gives in verse 5 is that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.

00:00:51.299 --> 00:01:01.359
 That is, if Paul had given in for the demand for Titus to be circumcised under those circumstances,

00:01:02.099 --> 00:01:04.819
 he would have torpedoed the truth of the gospel.

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:12.200
 And if he torpedoed the truth of the gospel, the Gentile mission was over.

00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:14.479
 Christ would have died in vain.

00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:19.260
 And you and I, I'm assuming the majority of us here are Gentiles,

00:01:20.020 --> 00:01:23.540
 would be still under the wrath of God for our sin.

00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:27.120
 That's how crucial this little interaction was for Paul.

00:01:28.740 --> 00:01:31.740
 Two centuries later, for us, and the impact for us two centuries later.

00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:40.120
 What's this gospel that Paul saw was so necessary to fight for?

00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:48.060
 The gospel is the good news that the privilege of getting right with God

00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:55.439
 was purchased fully when Jesus Christ died on a cross for our sins and rose again.

00:01:58.020 --> 00:02:01.159
 The gospel is the good news that the privilege of getting right with God,

00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:03.240
 being justified before God,

00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:10.900
 was purchased fully for us when Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sin and rose again.

00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:13.379
 And there is no other gospel.

00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:15.639
 There's no other gospel.

00:02:17.939 --> 00:02:23.240
 And the only way to enjoy this privilege is to put our trust in Jesus,

00:02:23.359 --> 00:02:25.979
 the Son of God who loves us and gave himself for us.

00:02:25.979 --> 00:02:31.280
 Justification by faith in Christ and what he has done.

00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:34.219
 And if you add any other requirements

00:02:34.219 --> 00:02:40.000
 which encourage people to rely upon their own working or their own willing,

00:02:40.780 --> 00:02:42.259
 you torpedo the gospel.

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:44.419
 It becomes nothing.

00:02:45.399 --> 00:02:48.459
 If justification being right with God is not by faith,

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:50.159
 it's not by anything.

00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:55.459
 And Paul took his stand on that point.

00:02:55.979 --> 00:03:01.259
 Titus will not be compelled to be circumcised.

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.799
 The truth of the gospel will be preserved.

00:03:08.139 --> 00:03:11.859
 Now we launch into verses 11 to 14.

00:03:12.859 --> 00:03:15.659
 And the truth of the gospel is again at stake.

00:03:15.739 --> 00:03:19.439
 And the venue shifted now from Jerusalem to Antioch,

00:03:20.139 --> 00:03:23.579
 the place where the Gentile mission began.

00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:31.580
 And again, Gentiles are here being compelled to live like Jews.

00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:33.939
 In Jerusalem, the issue was circumcision.

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.580
 In Antioch, the issue is Jewish dietary laws.

00:03:38.260 --> 00:03:42.500
 And in both cases, the gospel is at stake and Paul takes his stand.

00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:48.780
 In Jerusalem, the truth of the gospel was at stake through the possibility of false teaching.

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:58.900
 In Antioch, the truth of the gospel is at stake because of false behavior, false living.

00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:04.280
 It's Peter's behavior here that denies the truth of the gospel.

00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:08.860
 And so today, I don't want to focus so much on what the gospel is

00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:12.819
 as much on how the gospel functions in our lives.

00:04:12.819 --> 00:04:16.079
 So there's three things I want us to see.

00:04:16.219 --> 00:04:18.839
 Those of you taking notes, three things, put it down in your piece of paper.

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:25.079
 The heart of the gospel, the centrality of the gospel, and the power of the gospel.

00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:27.060
 I see people running, grabbing for notes.

00:04:27.159 --> 00:04:28.339
 There's no photo you can take.

00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:29.219
 Get a pen in front.

00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.240
 The heart of the gospel, the centrality of the gospel, the power of the gospel.

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:37.079
 And the heart of the gospel we see in verses 15 and 16.

00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:46.899
 We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles know that a person is not justified by the works of the law,

00:04:47.379 --> 00:04:49.800
 but by faith in Jesus Christ.

00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:56.339
 So we too have put our faith in Jesus Christ that we may be justified by faith in Christ,

00:04:56.599 --> 00:05:02.279
 not by the works of the law, because the works of the law, no one will be justified.

00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:17.379
 That, those couple of verses there, is the reversal of the order you find in every other religion apart from Christianity.

00:05:20.379 --> 00:05:23.000
 To be justified there means to be right with God.

00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:29.039
 And every other religion is it is through some effort on our behalf.

00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:35.080
 There's always something that we must, some kind of divine law that must be obeyed,

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:45.500
 some sort of ceremonial observance in order for us to become pleasing in the eyes of some deity.

00:05:47.620 --> 00:05:49.360
 And Paul comes along and says,

00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.480
 we're not put right with God through our effort.

00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:57.120
 We're not put right with God through any form of obedience.

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:03.579
 We are justified by faith in Lord Jesus and only by faith in the Lord Jesus.

00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.259
 Now, this doesn't mean that Christians can live however they want.

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:14.780
 I mean, because Paul says in verse 17 that Christianity is not about promoting a life of sin.

00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:20.220
 The issue here is getting the order right.

00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:28.960
 Last couple of weeks, we've been reading and hearing about this circumcision group that came down from Jerusalem.

00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.660
 They are Jews who believe that Jesus was the Messiah.

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.120
 They had become Christians,

00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:48.980
 but they still wanted to keep circumcision and Jewish dietary laws as a way to ensure that you were truly saved.

00:06:50.139 --> 00:06:51.259
 Completely saved.

00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:54.100
 That was the problem.

00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:57.600
 And here we have,

00:06:59.939 --> 00:07:03.100
 in Galatians, and we see it clearly in these verses,

00:07:03.100 --> 00:07:06.600
 a battle between two orders.

00:07:08.760 --> 00:07:13.420
 And the central issue is three steps in these two orders.

00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.060
 The false teachers were saying,

00:07:16.460 --> 00:07:18.620
 step one, believe in Jesus Christ.

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.600
 Step two, keep the law of God.

00:07:21.780 --> 00:07:22.879
 And step three,

00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.300
 then you can be sure you're fully saved.

00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:30.060
 Paul's gospel vindicated in Jerusalem,

00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:31.980
 as we saw last week.

00:07:34.220 --> 00:07:36.160
 Step one, believe in the Lord Jesus.

00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:39.560
 Step two, you are saved in that moment.

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.139
 And step three, you are now set free in order to obey God.

00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:49.139
 You do,

00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:52.860
 so it's a question I would pose to you now.

00:07:52.860 --> 00:07:54.240
 Do you say,

00:07:55.020 --> 00:07:57.540
 I will obey in order to be loved by God?

00:07:58.180 --> 00:07:59.480
 Or do you say,

00:07:59.740 --> 00:08:01.740
 I'm already loved by God in Jesus Christ,

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:03.900
 and therefore I'm set free to a life of obedience?

00:08:06.259 --> 00:08:08.199
 One is a religious order.

00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.740
 The other is a gospel order.

00:08:13.939 --> 00:08:19.280
 These are not two different arms of the same faith.

00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.139
 This is not two different denominations

00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:23.659
 with slightly different emphasis.

00:08:25.159 --> 00:08:26.419
 These are two orders.

00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:29.659
 This is two different worlds.

00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:31.659
 This is two different religions

00:08:31.659 --> 00:08:35.480
 that result into very different kinds of obediences.

00:08:37.199 --> 00:08:39.720
 One is an anxious obedience

00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.500
 because you never know whether you've actually done enough.

00:08:44.980 --> 00:08:46.459
 It's also selfish.

00:08:46.460 --> 00:08:47.840
 It's a selfish obedience

00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.080
 because the motive for doing every good thing

00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:52.940
 is to get something from God.

00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:58.160
 It's an obedience which is anxious,

00:08:58.440 --> 00:08:58.940
 it's selfish,

00:08:59.160 --> 00:08:59.940
 it's joyless,

00:09:00.379 --> 00:09:01.040
 it's a burden.

00:09:04.340 --> 00:09:05.860
 But what if you obey

00:09:05.860 --> 00:09:09.740
 because you've already got everything as a gift?

00:09:09.740 --> 00:09:13.039
 What if you've already gotten love

00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:13.940
 and intimacy

00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:16.600
 and a secure future

00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.019
 and you've got acceptance?

00:09:19.580 --> 00:09:20.680
 What if you've already got that?

00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:21.440
 And that's what the,

00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:23.700
 that's a fundamental issue,

00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:25.120
 the core issue of Christianity.

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:27.139
 It's in Jesus,

00:09:27.340 --> 00:09:28.779
 the God of this universe

00:09:28.779 --> 00:09:31.159
 who we get to call Father.

00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:34.720
 We're encouraged to call our Father.

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.220
 Father affirms us

00:09:37.220 --> 00:09:40.779
 in a way that no earthly father

00:09:40.779 --> 00:09:43.940
 can possibly affirm their children.

00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:45.240
 Always.

00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:48.259
 In Jesus,

00:09:48.460 --> 00:09:51.800
 we receive the praise of the praiseworthy.

00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:57.680
 You are my much loved child.

00:09:58.960 --> 00:09:59.399
 Always.

00:09:59.399 --> 00:09:59.679
 Always.

00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:03.399
 And this is the God who says that,

00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:06.779
 the God to whom all hearts are open,

00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:08.299
 all desires known,

00:10:08.439 --> 00:10:10.240
 and from whom no secrets are hidden.

00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:13.620
 This is the God who says,

00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:17.139
 you are my much loved child

00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:18.439
 in Jesus Christ.

00:10:18.899 --> 00:10:20.899
 Obedience that flows from that

00:10:20.899 --> 00:10:22.299
 is totally different.

00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.799
 The motivation would be joy,

00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:26.840
 not anxiety.

00:10:26.980 --> 00:10:28.579
 The motivation wouldn't come

00:10:28.580 --> 00:10:29.600
 from an empty heart.

00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.160
 It comes from a full heart,

00:10:31.400 --> 00:10:32.400
 an affirmed heart,

00:10:32.500 --> 00:10:33.560
 a loved heart.

00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:36.840
 Obedience is not selfish

00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:38.300
 because I can love and give

00:10:38.300 --> 00:10:39.840
 and serve for God's sake

00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.160
 and my neighbour's sake

00:10:41.160 --> 00:10:42.840
 and not for my sake.

00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:45.940
 It's radically different.

00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.259
 See the difference in these two orders?

00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:54.560
 Two different ways of living.

00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:56.680
 And notice verse 20 where it says,

00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.259
 I have been crucified with Christ.

00:10:59.439 --> 00:11:00.559
 I no longer live,

00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:01.919
 but Christ lives in me.

00:11:02.239 --> 00:11:04.839
 The life I now live in the body,

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.679
 I live by faith in the Son of God

00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.979
 who loved me and gave himself for me.

00:11:12.259 --> 00:11:13.239
 See when you become a Christian,

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:15.039
 you put your faith in Jesus Christ

00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:16.259
 and it says in verse 20

00:11:16.259 --> 00:11:18.779
 that you are crucified with Christ.

00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:22.659
 The Bible also says

00:11:22.659 --> 00:11:25.360
 that we are raised with Christ.

00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:26.220
 What does that mean?

00:11:27.459 --> 00:11:30.220
 It means that when you put your faith

00:11:30.220 --> 00:11:31.240
 in Jesus Christ,

00:11:31.459 --> 00:11:34.159
 you are united with Christ.

00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.519
 You have a new life with Christ.

00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:37.319
 You see,

00:11:37.819 --> 00:11:39.939
 God sees you free

00:11:39.939 --> 00:11:41.779
 from all condemnation

00:11:41.779 --> 00:11:42.459
 condemnation

00:11:42.459 --> 00:11:44.699
 as if

00:11:44.699 --> 00:11:46.740
 you were the one

00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:49.399
 who died on the cross

00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:51.039
 for your sins.

00:11:54.939 --> 00:11:56.659
 Your sins are paid for.

00:11:58.259 --> 00:12:00.759
 But not only does Jesus take my sin,

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:01.539
 he also

00:12:01.539 --> 00:12:04.579
 gives me his righteousness.

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:06.360
 On the cross,

00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:07.879
 God treated Jesus

00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.759
 as if

00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:10.740
 he had done

00:12:10.740 --> 00:12:12.160
 everything that I've done

00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:13.740
 and you've done.

00:12:15.400 --> 00:12:16.500
 And when you put

00:12:16.500 --> 00:12:17.620
 your faith in Jesus,

00:12:17.780 --> 00:12:18.759
 God treats me

00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:20.100
 as if I've done

00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:21.240
 everything that Jesus

00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:22.259
 has done.

00:12:25.139 --> 00:12:26.300
 And now,

00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:27.480
 the Christian lives

00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:29.400
 knowing that God

00:12:29.400 --> 00:12:31.200
 honors them like that.

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.120
 two very different

00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:36.040
 orders

00:12:36.040 --> 00:12:36.980
 that create

00:12:36.980 --> 00:12:37.960
 two very

00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:39.580
 different lives.

00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:42.220
 That's the heart

00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:42.660
 of the gospel.

00:12:45.540 --> 00:12:46.600
 That's how it impacts

00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:47.220
 our life.

00:12:47.660 --> 00:12:48.379
 Now let's see

00:12:48.379 --> 00:12:49.400
 how it functions

00:12:49.400 --> 00:12:51.720
 in our lives.

00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:53.379
 Verses 11 to 13,

00:12:53.540 --> 00:12:54.460
 let's go back to there.

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:55.580
 This is the centrality

00:12:55.580 --> 00:12:56.120
 of the gospel.

00:12:57.340 --> 00:12:58.500
 When Cephas

00:12:58.500 --> 00:13:00.759
 came to Antioch,

00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:01.600
 I opposed him

00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:02.460
 to his face

00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:03.279
 because he stood

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:03.759
 condemned.

00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:06.600
 For before certain

00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:07.819
 men came from James,

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:08.899
 he used to eat

00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:09.679
 with the Gentiles,

00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:10.819
 but when they arrived,

00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.460
 he began to draw back

00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:13.539
 and separate himself

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:14.340
 from the Gentiles

00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:15.480
 because he was afraid

00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.759
 of those who belonged

00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:18.480
 to the circumcision group.

00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:20.340
 The other Jews

00:13:20.340 --> 00:13:21.000
 joined him

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.259
 in his hypocrisy

00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:24.299
 so that by their hypocrisy,

00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:25.879
 even Barnabas

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.759
 was led astray.

00:13:29.019 --> 00:13:29.960
 This would have to be

00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:30.600
 one of the most

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:31.900
 tense moments

00:13:31.900 --> 00:13:33.500
 in the New Testament.

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:36.139
 Here are two

00:13:36.139 --> 00:13:37.800
 leading apostles,

00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:38.980
 one head

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:40.560
 of reaching the Jews,

00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:41.200
 one head

00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:42.560
 of reaching the Gentiles,

00:13:44.300 --> 00:13:45.860
 and face-to-face

00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:47.379
 open conflict

00:13:47.379 --> 00:13:48.280
 with each other.

00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:51.740
 So let me remind you

00:13:51.740 --> 00:13:52.540
 of some of the back story

00:13:52.540 --> 00:13:53.400
 that's going on here.

00:13:54.300 --> 00:13:54.660
 Cephas,

00:13:54.800 --> 00:13:55.300
 who we know

00:13:55.300 --> 00:13:56.139
 as the Apostle Peter,

00:13:56.139 --> 00:13:57.159
 was Jewish

00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:58.600
 and the Jews

00:13:58.600 --> 00:13:59.379
 had practiced

00:13:59.379 --> 00:14:00.500
 for centuries

00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:01.740
 a ceremonial law.

00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:02.819
 You see it everywhere

00:14:02.819 --> 00:14:03.679
 in the Old Testament.

00:14:04.299 --> 00:14:05.519
 There were two aspects

00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:06.720
 of Old Testament worship

00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:08.139
 of God.

00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:10.100
 One was the ceremonial laws

00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:12.080
 about things

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:14.679
 that they could not eat,

00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:16.639
 things that they couldn't wear,

00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:17.759
 clothing that they weren't

00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:18.639
 allowed to wear,

00:14:18.779 --> 00:14:19.899
 things that they couldn't touch.

00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:22.179
 They had to stay

00:14:22.179 --> 00:14:24.519
 ceremonially clean

00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.019
 or they couldn't go

00:14:28.019 --> 00:14:28.840
 and worship God

00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:29.379
 on the Sabbath.

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:32.740
 And the Gentiles

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:34.299
 living around them

00:14:34.299 --> 00:14:36.319
 didn't have those laws

00:14:36.319 --> 00:14:37.679
 and didn't obey

00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:38.419
 those laws

00:14:38.419 --> 00:14:39.600
 and so they were

00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.120
 regarded as unclean.

00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.340
 And it wasn't hard

00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:45.820
 for Jews

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:47.100
 to consider themselves

00:14:47.100 --> 00:14:50.519
 morally superior

00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.379
 to all those

00:14:52.379 --> 00:14:53.679
 unclean Gentiles.

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:56.940
 And apart from those laws,

00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:57.340
 there were also

00:14:57.340 --> 00:14:58.279
 sacrificial laws.

00:14:58.460 --> 00:14:59.560
 Animals were sacrificed

00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:00.220
 to atone

00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:01.820
 for the sin of the Jews.

00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:02.860
 It was God's way

00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:03.299
 of saying that

00:15:03.299 --> 00:15:04.019
 no matter how hard

00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:05.860
 you try with the ceremonial laws,

00:15:06.180 --> 00:15:06.840
 no matter how hard

00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:08.100
 you try to keep yourself clean,

00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:09.240
 you're going to fail.

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.740
 you'll never be good enough,

00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:14.060
 you're never going to be clean enough

00:15:14.060 --> 00:15:15.539
 and so there's going to need

00:15:15.539 --> 00:15:16.340
 to be atonement

00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:17.200
 for your sin.

00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:20.000
 And Jesus comes along

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:21.720
 as Lord and Saviour.

00:15:22.700 --> 00:15:23.259
 Number one,

00:15:23.820 --> 00:15:25.259
 no need for sacrifices anymore

00:15:25.259 --> 00:15:26.779
 because Jesus

00:15:26.779 --> 00:15:28.500
 fulfilled them all

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:29.220
 with the sacrifice

00:15:29.220 --> 00:15:30.200
 of himself on the cross

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:31.860
 at number two ceremonial laws.

00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:32.919
 They all pointed to Jesus

00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:33.820
 and his sacrifice

00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:34.560
 and him

00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:36.019
 through his sacrifice

00:15:36.019 --> 00:15:37.659
 wiping away sin

00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:38.840
 and making all people

00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:40.060
 clean in him.

00:15:41.660 --> 00:15:42.840
 So only in Jesus

00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:44.320
 can we be truly clean

00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:45.899
 and acceptable

00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:47.720
 in God's presence.

00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:49.540
 Now the twelve apostles

00:15:49.540 --> 00:15:51.460
 were Jews

00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:53.019
 and so it was pretty hard

00:15:53.019 --> 00:15:54.519
 for them in this.

00:15:55.660 --> 00:15:56.620
 Jesus was however

00:15:56.620 --> 00:15:57.480
 pretty explicit.

00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:58.759
 Mark chapter 7

00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.340
 where he told them

00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:01.620
 that in him

00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:02.420
 they were clean,

00:16:02.540 --> 00:16:03.259
 they didn't need

00:16:03.259 --> 00:16:04.320
 the dietary laws

00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:05.720
 but it was still hard.

00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:06.940
 All of their lives

00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:08.160
 they had regarded

00:16:08.160 --> 00:16:09.300
 themselves as the clean

00:16:09.300 --> 00:16:10.380
 ones and the Gentiles

00:16:10.380 --> 00:16:11.760
 as the unclean ones.

00:16:11.760 --> 00:16:13.060
 It was hard for them

00:16:13.060 --> 00:16:14.400
 to eat with Gentiles

00:16:14.400 --> 00:16:16.480
 and yet Peter himself

00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:18.040
 had heard this teaching

00:16:18.040 --> 00:16:19.400
 from Jesus' lips

00:16:19.400 --> 00:16:21.740
 and also in Acts chapter 10

00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:22.560
 and 11

00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:23.800
 Peter gave this

00:16:23.800 --> 00:16:26.520
 massively vivid vision

00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:28.740
 to show him

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:28.759
 to show him

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:30.620
 that there was no longer

00:16:30.620 --> 00:16:32.179
 any racial divisions

00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:33.740
 and all food

00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:34.539
 was clean

00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:35.779
 and that he should

00:16:35.779 --> 00:16:36.879
 eat with Gentiles

00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:38.019
 in which case

00:16:38.019 --> 00:16:38.939
 he immediately

00:16:38.939 --> 00:16:40.159
 does with Cornelius.

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:41.240
 He goes into the house

00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:42.019
 of Cornelius

00:16:42.019 --> 00:16:44.000
 who's a

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.100
 filthy Gentile.

00:16:46.100 --> 00:16:50.480
 And in fact

00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.180
 in verse 12

00:16:51.180 --> 00:16:51.980
 here we notice

00:16:51.980 --> 00:16:52.759
 that Peter

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:53.600
 did eat

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.779
 with the Gentiles

00:16:54.779 --> 00:16:56.360
 and then

00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:57.240
 something happened.

00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:00.680
 Peter withdrew

00:17:00.680 --> 00:17:03.100
 from the Gentile

00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:03.779
 Christians

00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:06.440
 not because

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:07.259
 of theological

00:17:07.259 --> 00:17:08.120
 conviction.

00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:11.579
 He hadn't

00:17:11.579 --> 00:17:12.799
 changed his views.

00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.899
 the issue here

00:17:15.899 --> 00:17:17.299
 according to verse 13

00:17:17.299 --> 00:17:18.779
 is hypocrisy.

00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:21.319
 He hadn't

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:22.419
 changed his mind

00:17:22.419 --> 00:17:23.759
 hadn't changed

00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:24.519
 his convictions

00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:26.259
 he changed

00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:26.980
 his behaviour.

00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:30.000
 It didn't align

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.599
 with his

00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:32.039
 theological convictions.

00:17:33.299 --> 00:17:34.180
 See Paul here

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:34.899
 is not saying

00:17:34.899 --> 00:17:35.440
 Peter

00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.159
 that's a little bit

00:17:37.159 --> 00:17:38.359
 rude.

00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:42.819
 he's actually

00:17:42.819 --> 00:17:43.219
 saying

00:17:43.219 --> 00:17:43.759
 your behaviour

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:44.599
 is hypocritical.

00:17:45.199 --> 00:17:46.000
 What caused it?

00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:47.779
 He feared

00:17:47.779 --> 00:17:48.539
 criticism

00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:50.500
 from a

00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:51.219
 small

00:17:51.219 --> 00:17:52.159
 but powerful

00:17:52.159 --> 00:17:53.699
 pressure group

00:17:53.699 --> 00:17:54.179
 that had

00:17:54.179 --> 00:17:54.719
 come from

00:17:54.719 --> 00:17:55.259
 Jerusalem

00:17:55.259 --> 00:17:56.179
 to Antioch.

00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:57.579
 And Paul

00:17:57.579 --> 00:17:58.259
 sees

00:17:58.259 --> 00:17:58.879
 something

00:17:58.879 --> 00:18:00.059
 deeper here

00:18:00.059 --> 00:18:01.199
 than simple

00:18:01.199 --> 00:18:02.559
 table manners

00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:03.679
 or rudeness.

00:18:04.219 --> 00:18:05.099
 He calls

00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:05.479
 it

00:18:05.479 --> 00:18:07.059
 not acting

00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:07.759
 in line

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.119
 with the

00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:08.579
 truth

00:18:08.579 --> 00:18:08.960
 of the

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:09.400
 gospel.

00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:11.599
 Your behaviour

00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:12.339
 is undermining

00:18:12.339 --> 00:18:12.879
 the gospel.

00:18:14.140 --> 00:18:15.140
 See verse 14

00:18:15.140 --> 00:18:17.900
 when I

00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:18.440
 saw

00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:18.920
 that they

00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:19.259
 were not

00:18:19.259 --> 00:18:19.599
 acting

00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:20.000
 in line

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:20.279
 with the

00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:20.519
 truth

00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:20.700
 of the

00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:21.000
 gospel

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:21.400
 I said

00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:21.599
 to

00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:21.900
 Cephas

00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:22.299
 in front

00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:22.480
 of them

00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:22.759
 all

00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:23.319
 you

00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:23.559
 are

00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:24.099
 a Jew

00:18:24.099 --> 00:18:24.799
 and yet

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:24.940
 you

00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:25.160
 live

00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:25.480
 like a

00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:25.799
 Gentile

00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:26.180
 and not

00:18:26.180 --> 00:18:26.599
 like a

00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:26.859
 Jew

00:18:26.859 --> 00:18:27.539
 how is

00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:27.640
 it

00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:27.799
 then

00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:27.920
 that

00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:28.059
 you

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:28.319
 force

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:28.900
 Gentiles

00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:29.079
 to

00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:29.279
 follow

00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:29.619
 Jewish

00:18:29.619 --> 00:18:30.160
 customs

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:30.940
 we

00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:31.160
 who

00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:31.320
 are

00:18:31.320 --> 00:18:31.640
 Jews

00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:31.860
 by

00:18:31.860 --> 00:18:32.340
 birth

00:18:32.340 --> 00:18:32.600
 and

00:18:32.600 --> 00:18:32.880
 not

00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:33.160
 sinful

00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:33.620
 Gentiles

00:18:33.620 --> 00:18:33.820
 know

00:18:33.820 --> 00:18:33.960
 that

00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:34.080
 a

00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:34.279
 person

00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:34.500
 is

00:18:34.500 --> 00:18:34.840
 not

00:18:34.840 --> 00:18:35.320
 justified

00:18:35.320 --> 00:18:35.940
 by

00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:36.140
 the

00:18:36.140 --> 00:18:36.480
 works

00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:36.620
 of

00:18:36.620 --> 00:18:36.740
 the

00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:37.040
 law

00:18:37.040 --> 00:18:37.640
 but

00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:37.840
 by

00:18:37.840 --> 00:18:38.240
 faith

00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:38.500
 in

00:18:38.500 --> 00:18:38.779
 Jesus

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:39.340
 Christ.

00:18:41.340 --> 00:18:41.540
 You see

00:18:41.540 --> 00:18:42.220
 Peter and

00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:42.700
 Barnabas

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:43.060
 here

00:18:43.060 --> 00:18:44.200
 and others

00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:44.980
 with them

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:46.519
 went back

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:46.720
 into

00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:47.560
 attitudes

00:18:47.560 --> 00:18:48.640
 of racial

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:49.340
 superiority

00:18:49.340 --> 00:18:50.500
 and exclusivity

00:18:50.500 --> 00:18:51.320
 that the

00:18:51.320 --> 00:18:51.640
 Jews

00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:52.600
 historically

00:18:52.600 --> 00:18:53.060
 held

00:18:53.060 --> 00:18:53.480
 over

00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:54.100
 Gentiles

00:18:54.099 --> 00:18:56.419
 and Paul

00:18:56.419 --> 00:18:56.759
 says

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:57.159
 Peter

00:18:57.159 --> 00:18:58.159
 you're

00:18:58.159 --> 00:18:58.459
 not

00:18:58.459 --> 00:18:59.059
 living

00:18:59.059 --> 00:19:00.879
 in line

00:19:10.159 --> 00:19:12.439
 it's where

00:19:12.439 --> 00:19:12.699
 we get

00:19:12.699 --> 00:19:13.059
 the English

00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.599
 Peter

00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:18.619
 you are

00:19:18.619 --> 00:19:18.879
 not

00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.000
 you're

 you're

00:19:32.700 --> 00:19:33.000
 not

00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:33.599

 this

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:35.000
 particular

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:35.500
 area

00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:35.679

 Peter's

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:36.480

00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.799
 he was

00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:40.059
 too

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:40.439
 concerned

00:19:40.439 --> 00:19:40.679
 about

00:19:40.679 --> 00:19:40.839
 the

00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:41.299
 approval

00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:42.220
 of a

00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:42.639
 powerful

00:19:42.639 --> 00:19:43.159
 minority

00:19:43.159 --> 00:19:43.579
 group

00:19:43.579 --> 00:19:45.759
 he had

00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:45.960
 it in

00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:46.099
 his

00:19:46.099 --> 00:19:46.439
 head

00:19:46.439 --> 00:19:47.480
 it

00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:48.359
 wasn't

00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:48.500

00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:48.659
 his

00:19:48.980 --> 00:19:51.659
 now

00:19:51.659 --> 00:19:51.859
 it's

00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:53.079
 essential

00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:53.319
 for us

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:53.579

00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:55.099
 of what

00:19:55.099 --> 00:19:55.500
 Paul

00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:55.699
 is

00:19:55.699 --> 00:19:56.099
 saying

00:19:56.099 --> 00:19:59.019
 he's

00:19:59.019 --> 00:19:59.339
 saying

00:19:59.339 --> 00:20:00.099
 that the

00:20:00.099 --> 00:20:00.339
 gospel

00:20:00.339 --> 00:20:00.579
 is

00:20:00.579 --> 00:20:01.259

00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.059
 it

00:20:09.059 --> 00:20:09.439
 includes

00:20:09.439 --> 00:20:10.099
 facts

00:20:10.099 --> 00:20:10.599
 that need

00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:10.919

00:20:10.919 --> 00:20:11.579
 embraced

00:20:11.579 --> 00:20:11.799
 and

00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:12.439
 believed

00:20:12.439 --> 00:20:14.559
 but

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.039
 secondly

00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:15.779
 and just

00:20:15.779 --> 00:20:16.059
 as

00:20:16.059 --> 00:20:16.639
 crucial

00:20:16.639 --> 00:20:18.299
 the

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:20.700

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:21.360

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:21.800
 for

00:20:21.800 --> 00:20:22.060
 our

 everything

00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:25.100
 life

00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:33.220
 gospel

00:22:33.220 --> 00:22:33.740
 the way

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:34.240
 we treat

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:34.560
 people

00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:34.880
 who think

00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:35.380
 differently

00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:36.220
 even about

00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:36.680
 same-sex

00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:37.220
 marriage

00:22:37.220 --> 00:22:37.640
 is shaped

00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:37.940
 by the

00:22:37.940 --> 00:22:38.220
 gospel

00:22:38.220 --> 00:22:38.720
 the truth

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:38.940
 of the

00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:39.259
 gospel

00:22:39.259 --> 00:22:39.660
 goes

00:22:39.660 --> 00:22:40.400
 everywhere

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:41.400
 in life

00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:41.680
 there's not

00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:42.380
 a corner

00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:43.140
 it does

00:22:43.140 --> 00:22:43.319
 not

00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:43.759
 touch

00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:50.519
 and it

00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:50.880
 does not

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:51.420
 reform

00:22:51.420 --> 00:22:53.160
 does not

00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:53.600
 inform

00:22:53.600 --> 00:22:53.920
 and does

00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:54.100
 not

00:22:54.100 --> 00:22:54.480
 shape

00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:56.620
 it is

00:22:56.620 --> 00:22:56.759
 the

00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:57.120
 framework

00:22:57.120 --> 00:22:57.539
 by which

00:22:57.539 --> 00:22:57.700
 the

00:22:57.700 --> 00:22:58.000
 Christian

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.620
 sees

00:22:58.620 --> 00:22:58.860
 and

00:22:58.860 --> 00:22:59.539
 evaluates

00:22:59.539 --> 00:23:00.180
 everything

00:23:00.180 --> 00:23:00.779
 and notice

00:23:00.779 --> 00:23:01.059
 what

00:23:01.059 --> 00:23:02.019
 happens

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:02.360
 here

00:23:02.360 --> 00:23:02.700
 Paul

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:03.120
 doesn't

00:23:03.120 --> 00:23:03.400
 say

00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:03.600
 to

00:23:03.600 --> 00:23:03.940
 Peter

00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:04.720
 Peter

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:05.640
 you've

00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:05.900
 broken

00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:06.100
 the

00:23:06.100 --> 00:23:06.500
 racism

00:23:06.500 --> 00:23:06.900
 rule

00:23:06.900 --> 00:23:08.700
 he could

00:23:08.700 --> 00:23:08.800
 have

00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:09.140
 legitimately

00:23:09.140 --> 00:23:09.420
 said

00:23:09.420 --> 00:23:09.560
 that

00:23:09.560 --> 00:23:09.780
 he could

00:23:09.780 --> 00:23:09.920
 have

00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:10.140
 jumped

00:23:10.140 --> 00:23:10.360
 out

00:23:10.360 --> 00:23:11.019
 a bunch

00:23:11.019 --> 00:23:11.120
 of

00:23:11.120 --> 00:23:11.360
 Bible

00:23:11.360 --> 00:23:11.720
 verses

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:12.040
 and

00:23:12.040 --> 00:23:13.380
 racism

00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:14.000
 is wrong

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:14.400
 stop it

00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:14.580
 Peter

00:23:14.580 --> 00:23:14.740
 you've

00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:14.840
 been

00:23:14.840 --> 00:23:15.300
 racist

00:23:15.300 --> 00:23:17.019
 that may

00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:17.300
 in that

00:23:17.300 --> 00:23:17.740
 moment

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:18.259
 it may

00:23:18.259 --> 00:23:18.519
 have

00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:19.380
 restrained

00:23:19.380 --> 00:23:19.900
 Peter's

00:23:19.900 --> 00:23:20.360
 will

00:23:20.360 --> 00:23:20.880
 and his

00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:21.360
 behaviour

00:23:21.360 --> 00:23:23.120
 but it

00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:23.320
 wouldn't

00:23:23.320 --> 00:23:23.440
 have

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:23.920
 transformed

00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:24.160
 his

00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:24.440
 heart

00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:27.140
 he

00:23:27.140 --> 00:23:27.440
 doesn't

00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:27.860
 do it

00:23:27.860 --> 00:23:29.300
 he

00:23:29.300 --> 00:23:29.560
 certainly

00:23:29.560 --> 00:23:29.820
 wants

00:23:29.820 --> 00:23:30.040
 Peter

00:23:30.040 --> 00:23:30.560
 to stop

00:23:30.560 --> 00:23:30.780
 it

00:23:30.780 --> 00:23:31.880
 but

00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:32.240
 instead

00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:32.600
 what he

00:23:32.600 --> 00:23:32.840
 does

00:23:32.840 --> 00:23:33.100
 is

00:23:33.100 --> 00:23:33.500
 in order

00:23:33.500 --> 00:23:33.759
 to get

00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:33.980
 Peter

00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:34.860
 to stop

00:23:34.860 --> 00:23:35.060
 it

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:36.440
 he

00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:36.899
 chases

00:23:36.899 --> 00:23:37.179
 his

00:23:37.179 --> 00:23:37.700
 heart

00:23:37.700 --> 00:23:38.519
 he

00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:38.899
 chases

00:23:38.899 --> 00:23:39.359
 Peter's

00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:39.899
 heart

00:23:39.899 --> 00:23:43.039
 you

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:43.319
 say

00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:43.480
 you

00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:43.799
 believe

00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:43.960
 the

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.319
 gospel

00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:46.960
 it's

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:47.200
 in your

00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:47.460
 mind

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:47.799
 Peter

00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:49.819
 but

00:23:49.819 --> 00:23:50.099
 has

00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:50.279
 it

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:50.940
 changed

00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:51.440
 your

00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:51.940
 heart

00:23:51.940 --> 00:23:54.259
 you

00:23:54.259 --> 00:23:54.379
 see

00:23:54.379 --> 00:23:54.539
 the

00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:54.819
 shared

00:23:54.819 --> 00:23:55.059
 core

00:23:55.059 --> 00:23:55.359
 value

00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:55.519
 of

00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:55.700
 all

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:56.240
 humanity

00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:56.799
 is

00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:56.919
 that

00:23:56.919 --> 00:23:57.119
 we

00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:57.299
 want

00:23:57.299 --> 00:23:57.399
 to

00:23:57.399 --> 00:23:57.559
 be

00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:58.139
 valued

00:23:58.139 --> 00:23:58.899
 we

00:23:58.899 --> 00:23:59.079
 want

00:23:59.079 --> 00:23:59.179
 to

00:23:59.179 --> 00:23:59.519
 know

00:23:59.519 --> 00:23:59.740
 that

00:23:59.740 --> 00:23:59.919
 our

00:23:59.919 --> 00:24:00.159
 lives

00:24:00.159 --> 00:24:00.440
 matter

00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:00.619
 we

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:00.759
 have

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.179
 a

00:24:01.179 --> 00:24:01.799
 desperate

00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:02.319
 hunger

00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:03.019
 to

00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:03.500
 feel

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:03.779
 a

00:24:03.779 --> 00:24:04.279
 sense

00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:04.700
 of

00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:05.460
 worthiness

00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:05.619
 and

00:24:05.619 --> 00:24:05.759
 for

00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:05.939
 some

00:24:05.939 --> 00:24:06.079
 of us

00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:06.220
 on

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:06.659
 father's

00:24:06.659 --> 00:24:06.799
 day

00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:06.980
 we

00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:07.179
 might

00:24:07.179 --> 00:24:07.359
 be

00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:07.619
 feeling

00:24:07.619 --> 00:24:07.819
 that

00:24:07.819 --> 00:24:08.159
 our

00:24:08.159 --> 00:24:08.500
 fathers

00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:08.819
 didn't

00:24:08.819 --> 00:24:09.039
 give

00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:09.159
 us

00:24:09.159 --> 00:24:09.419
 that

00:24:09.419 --> 00:24:13.399
 and

00:24:13.399 --> 00:24:13.500
 the

00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:13.720
 main

00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:14.000
 reason

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:14.200
 is

00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:14.539
 because

00:24:14.539 --> 00:24:14.859
 we

00:24:14.859 --> 00:24:15.220
 fear

00:24:15.220 --> 00:24:15.359
 that

00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:15.539
 we

00:24:15.539 --> 00:24:15.919
 don't

00:24:15.919 --> 00:24:16.240
 matter

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:18.460
 that

00:24:18.460 --> 00:24:18.599
 we

00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:18.859
 have

00:24:18.859 --> 00:24:19.099
 a

00:24:19.099 --> 00:24:20.339
 worthlessness

00:24:20.339 --> 00:24:22.579
 and

00:24:22.579 --> 00:24:22.740
 it's

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:23.119
 why

00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:23.639
 we

00:24:23.639 --> 00:24:24.299
 consistently

00:24:24.299 --> 00:24:24.720
 turn

00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:24.859
 to

00:24:24.859 --> 00:24:25.240
 places

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:25.460
 and

00:24:25.460 --> 00:24:25.700
 things

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:25.859
 that

00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:26.099
 give

00:24:26.099 --> 00:24:26.240
 us

00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:26.419
 that

00:24:26.419 --> 00:24:26.720
 sense

00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:26.899
 of

00:24:26.899 --> 00:24:27.279
 value

00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:27.859
 we

00:24:27.859 --> 00:24:28.000
 can

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:28.139
 do

00:24:28.139 --> 00:24:28.240
 it

00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:28.319
 in

00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:28.480
 a

00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:28.799
 multitude

00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:29.000
 of

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:29.519
 ways

00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:29.679
 for

00:24:29.679 --> 00:24:29.839
 some

00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:29.980
 of us

00:24:29.980 --> 00:24:30.079
 it's

00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:33.059
 education

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:34.000
 romance

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:34.200
 the

00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:34.480
 need

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:34.579
 to

00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:34.759
 have

00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:35.119
 a

00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:35.619
 romantic

00:24:35.619 --> 00:24:36.419
 relationship

00:24:36.419 --> 00:24:37.399
 family

00:24:37.399 --> 00:24:39.039
 in

00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:39.480
 every

00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:40.019
 case

00:24:40.019 --> 00:24:40.279
 we

00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:40.439
 are

00:29:39.500 --> 00:29:39.800
 food

00:29:39.800 --> 00:29:40.039
 you know

00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:40.380
 like a

 vending

00:29:40.660 --> 00:29:40.980
 machine

 you put

00:29:46.600 --> 00:29:47.140
 a coin

00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:47.580
 I've

00:29:47.580 --> 00:29:47.820
 had this

00:29:47.820 --> 00:29:48.100
 happen

00:29:48.100 --> 00:29:48.320
 it's

00:29:48.320 --> 00:29:48.660
 very

00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:49.040
 annoying

00:29:49.040 --> 00:29:49.779
 put a

 coin

00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:50.340
 in

00:29:50.340 --> 00:29:50.880

00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:51.060
 it

00:29:51.060 --> 00:29:51.640
 disappears

00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:52.380
 but

00:29:52.380 --> 00:29:52.519
 you

00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:52.860
 don't

00:29:52.860 --> 00:29:53.060
 hear

00:29:53.060 --> 00:29:53.259
 the

00:29:53.259 --> 00:29:53.960
 clunk

00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:55.880
 where

00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:56.019
 it's

00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:56.320
 actually

00:29:56.320 --> 00:29:56.800
 useful

00:29:56.800 --> 00:29:57.120
 for

00:29:57.120 --> 00:29:57.360
 you

00:29:57.360 --> 00:29:57.880
 and

00:29:57.880 --> 00:29:57.980
 I

00:29:57.980 --> 00:29:58.100
 don't

00:29:58.100 --> 00:29:58.320
 know

00:29:58.320 --> 00:29:58.500
 you

00:29:58.500 --> 00:29:59.220
 kick

00:29:59.220 --> 00:29:59.420
 the

00:29:59.420 --> 00:29:59.660
 thing

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:00.480
 whack

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:00.660
 it

00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:00.800
 you

00:30:00.800 --> 00:30:01.080
 try

00:30:01.080 --> 00:30:01.240
 to

00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:01.360
 get

00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:01.840
 coin

00:30:01.840 --> 00:30:02.040
 so

00:30:02.040 --> 00:30:02.240
 you

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:02.360
 can

00:30:02.360 --> 00:30:02.519
 get

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:02.700
 the

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:02.980
 drink

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:03.080
 you

00:30:14.180 --> 00:30:14.440
 needs

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:14.580

 needs

00:30:19.159 --> 00:30:19.299

00:30:20.299 --> 00:30:22.039
 the

 come

00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:23.379
 in

00:30:23.379 --> 00:30:23.699
 here

00:30:23.699 --> 00:30:23.899
 the

00:30:23.899 --> 00:30:24.099
 gospel

00:30:24.099 --> 00:30:24.279
 needs

00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:24.359

00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:24.480
 go

00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:25.220
 clunk

00:30:25.220 --> 00:30:29.000
 that's

00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:29.120
 when

00:30:29.120 --> 00:30:29.220
 you

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:29.360
 get

 my

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:40.539
 this

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:40.680
 is

00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:41.100
 unfortunate

00:30:41.100 --> 00:30:41.920
 I

00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:42.299
 think

00:30:42.299 --> 00:30:43.279
 but I

00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:43.579
 think

00:30:43.579 --> 00:30:43.860
 the

00:30:43.860 --> 00:30:44.299
 coin

00:30:44.299 --> 00:30:44.960
 hasn't

00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:45.240
 dropped

00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:45.779
 for so

00:30:45.779 --> 00:30:46.019
 many

00:30:46.019 --> 00:30:46.400
 people

00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:46.680
 sitting

00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:46.900
 in

00:30:46.900 --> 00:30:47.120
 so

00:30:47.120 --> 00:30:47.380
 many

00:30:47.380 --> 00:30:47.759
 churches

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:50.920
 the

00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:51.259
 gospel

00:30:51.259 --> 00:30:51.700
 sits

00:30:51.700 --> 00:30:51.940
 in

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:52.140
 our

00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:52.559
 heads

00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:52.839
 as

00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:53.039
 a

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:53.279
 set

00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:53.500
 of

00:30:53.500 --> 00:30:54.339
 propositions

00:30:54.339 --> 00:30:54.680
 that

00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:54.920
 must

00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:55.099
 be

00:30:55.099 --> 00:30:55.700
 defended

00:30:55.700 --> 00:30:58.960
 but

00:30:58.960 --> 00:30:59.119
 it

00:30:59.119 --> 00:30:59.420
 needs

00:30:59.420 --> 00:30:59.619
 to

00:30:59.619 --> 00:31:00.019
 drop

00:31:00.019 --> 00:31:01.920
 into

00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:02.220
 our

00:31:02.900 --> 00:31:04.039
 and

 transform

00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:05.180
 our

00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:05.980
 lives

00:31:05.980 --> 00:31:09.220
 if

00:31:09.220 --> 00:31:09.400

00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:09.740
 gospel

00:31:36.620 --> 00:31:36.900
 gospel

00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:37.240
 now

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:37.460
 the

00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:37.799
 power

00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:38.039
 of the

00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:38.440
 gospel

00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:39.320
 verse

00:31:39.320 --> 00:31:39.759
 20

00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:41.200
 I

00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:41.360
 have

00:31:41.360 --> 00:31:41.519
 been

00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:41.980
 crucified

00:31:41.980 --> 00:31:42.400
 with

00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:42.880
 Christ

00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:43.180
 and I

00:31:43.180 --> 00:31:43.360
 no

00:31:43.360 --> 00:31:43.620
 longer

00:31:43.620 --> 00:31:44.160
 live

00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:44.420
 but

00:31:44.420 --> 00:31:44.799
 Christ

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:45.120
 lives

00:31:45.120 --> 00:31:45.299
 in

00:31:45.299 --> 00:31:45.640
 me

00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:46.020
 the

00:31:46.020 --> 00:31:46.340
 life

00:31:46.340 --> 00:31:46.500
 I

00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:46.800
 now

00:31:46.800 --> 00:31:47.200
 live

00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:47.400
 in

00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:47.500
 the

00:31:47.500 --> 00:31:47.840
 body

00:31:47.840 --> 00:31:48.440
 I

00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:48.600
 live

00:31:48.600 --> 00:31:48.780
 by

00:31:48.780 --> 00:31:49.280
 faith

00:31:49.280 --> 00:31:49.440
 in

00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:49.580
 the

00:31:49.580 --> 00:31:49.759
 son

00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:49.900
 of

00:31:49.900 --> 00:31:50.200
 God

00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:50.360
 who

00:31:50.360 --> 00:31:50.720
 loved

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:51.000
 me

00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:51.500
 and

00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:51.800
 gave

00:31:51.800 --> 00:31:52.300
 himself

00:31:52.300 --> 00:31:53.320
 for

00:31:53.320 --> 00:31:53.680
 me

00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:54.040
 see

00:31:54.040 --> 00:31:54.680
 there's

00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:54.940
 a weird

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:56.460
 paradox

00:31:56.460 --> 00:31:57.080
 in

00:31:57.080 --> 00:31:57.280
 these

00:31:57.280 --> 00:31:57.740
 verses

00:31:57.740 --> 00:31:58.360
 I

00:31:58.360 --> 00:31:58.620
 no

00:31:58.620 --> 00:31:58.920
 longer

00:31:58.920 --> 00:31:59.320
 live

00:31:59.320 --> 00:31:59.500
 but

00:31:59.500 --> 00:31:59.820
 Christ

00:31:59.820 --> 00:32:00.080
 lives

00:32:00.080 --> 00:32:00.240
 in

00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:00.600
 me

00:32:00.600 --> 00:32:01.280
 he

00:32:01.280 --> 00:32:01.520
 says

00:32:01.520 --> 00:32:01.640
 I

00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:01.860
 don't

00:32:01.860 --> 00:32:02.100
 live

00:32:02.100 --> 00:32:02.480
 because

00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:03.040
 Christ

00:32:03.040 --> 00:32:03.620
 does

00:32:03.620 --> 00:32:04.080
 and

00:32:04.080 --> 00:32:04.280
 then

00:32:04.280 --> 00:32:04.440
 he

00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:04.900
 says

00:32:04.900 --> 00:32:05.360
 the

00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:05.600
 life

00:32:05.600 --> 00:32:05.740
 I

00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:05.940
 now

00:32:05.940 --> 00:32:06.360
 live

00:32:06.360 --> 00:32:08.100
 seems

00:32:08.100 --> 00:32:08.340
 like

00:32:08.340 --> 00:32:08.500
 a

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:08.940
 contradiction

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:10.320
 I

00:32:10.320 --> 00:32:10.460
 no

00:32:10.460 --> 00:32:10.680
 longer

00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:10.980
 live

00:32:10.980 --> 00:32:11.160
 and

00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:11.540
 the

00:32:11.540 --> 00:32:11.720
 life

00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:11.820
 I

00:32:11.820 --> 00:32:12.000
 now

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:12.340
 live

00:32:12.340 --> 00:32:13.960
 and

00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:16.140
 Christian

00:32:16.140 --> 00:32:16.460
 the

00:32:16.460 --> 00:32:16.660
 old

00:32:16.660 --> 00:32:16.900
 life

00:32:16.900 --> 00:32:17.100
 is

00:32:17.100 --> 00:32:17.500
 gone

00:32:17.500 --> 00:32:17.720
 it

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:17.920
 is

00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:18.240
 hidden

00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:18.700
 in

00:32:18.700 --> 00:32:19.240
 Christ

00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:20.020
 it

00:32:20.020 --> 00:32:20.200
 has

00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:20.880
 disappeared

00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:22.380
 Jesus

00:32:22.380 --> 00:32:23.140
 becomes

00:32:23.140 --> 00:32:23.660
 our

00:32:23.660 --> 00:32:24.480
 worth

00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:24.740
 our

00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:25.340
 value

00:32:25.340 --> 00:32:26.360
 but

00:32:26.360 --> 00:32:26.440
 at

00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:26.580
 the

00:32:26.580 --> 00:32:26.820
 same

00:32:26.820 --> 00:32:27.200
 time

00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:27.460
 we

00:32:27.460 --> 00:32:27.860
 live

00:32:27.860 --> 00:32:28.060
 the

00:32:28.060 --> 00:32:28.480
 same

00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:29.040
 life

00:32:29.040 --> 00:32:31.060
 but

00:32:31.060 --> 00:32:31.400
 now

00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:31.740
 out of

00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:32.060
 gratitude

00:32:32.060 --> 00:32:32.360
 to

00:32:32.360 --> 00:32:32.680
 him

00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:34.259
 and

00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:34.400
 the

00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:34.759
 gospel

00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:35.600
 has

00:32:35.600 --> 00:32:35.800
 the

00:32:35.800 --> 00:32:36.160
 power

00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:36.440
 to

00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:36.759
 change

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:36.940
 the

00:32:36.940 --> 00:32:37.480
 motivations

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:37.860
 of

00:32:37.860 --> 00:32:38.040
 your

00:32:38.040 --> 00:32:38.560
 heart

00:32:38.560 --> 00:32:40.360
 it

00:32:40.360 --> 00:32:40.740
 changes

00:32:40.740 --> 00:32:41.000
 your

00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:41.540
 personal

00:32:41.540 --> 00:32:42.420
 identity

00:32:42.420 --> 00:32:43.440
 it

00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:43.780
 changes

00:32:43.780 --> 00:32:44.040
 your

00:32:44.040 --> 00:32:44.540
 social

00:32:44.540 --> 00:32:45.220
 identity

00:32:45.220 --> 00:32:46.000
 it

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:46.420
 changes

00:32:46.420 --> 00:32:47.339
 every

00:32:47.339 --> 00:32:48.079
 identity

00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:48.700
 about

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:49.000
 you

00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.200
 as a

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:51.620
 church

00:32:51.620 --> 00:32:52.140
 our

00:32:52.140 --> 00:32:52.559
 vision

00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:54.799
 is not

00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:55.519
 to conform

00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:56.200
 people to

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:56.559
 certain

00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:56.900
 moral

00:32:56.900 --> 00:32:57.640
 standards

00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.519
 even

00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:00.880
 biblical

00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:01.220
 moral

00:33:01.220 --> 00:33:01.740
 standards

00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:03.460
 our

00:33:03.460 --> 00:33:03.799
 vision

00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:04.360
 is not

00:33:04.360 --> 00:33:04.579
 to

00:33:04.579 --> 00:33:05.400
 constrain

00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:06.519
 people's

00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:07.299
 actions

00:33:07.299 --> 00:33:07.960
 in this

00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:08.259
 church

00:33:08.259 --> 00:33:08.759
 or outside

00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:09.039
 this

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:09.279
 church

00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:09.960
 in society

00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:11.880
 our

00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:12.339
 vision

00:33:12.339 --> 00:33:13.160
 is for

00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:13.779
 hearts

00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:14.539
 to be

00:33:14.539 --> 00:33:15.359
 changed

00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:15.759
 by the

00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:16.039
 power

00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:16.299
 of the

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:16.680
 gospel

00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:18.180
 as

00:33:18.180 --> 00:33:18.599
 Paul

00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:18.779
 went

00:33:18.779 --> 00:33:19.000
 after

00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:19.480
 Peter's

00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:19.879
 heart

00:33:19.879 --> 00:33:20.920
 our

00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:21.559
 vision

00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:22.059
 is to

00:33:22.059 --> 00:33:22.379
 go

00:33:22.379 --> 00:33:22.799
 after

00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:23.440
 hearts

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:27.420
 if

00:33:27.420 --> 00:33:27.700
 people

00:33:27.700 --> 00:33:28.059
 can see

00:33:28.059 --> 00:33:28.319
 the

00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:28.720
 worth

00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:29.039
 and the

00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:29.359
 value

00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:29.619
 of the

00:33:29.619 --> 00:33:29.799
 Lord

00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:30.180
 Jesus

00:33:30.180 --> 00:33:30.720
 and the

00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:31.059
 worth

00:33:31.059 --> 00:33:31.379
 and the

00:33:31.379 --> 00:33:31.659
 value

00:33:31.659 --> 00:33:32.139
 he gives

00:33:32.139 --> 00:33:32.379
 us

00:33:32.379 --> 00:33:32.799
 in the

00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:33.200
 gospel

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:33.779
 it

00:33:33.779 --> 00:33:34.220
 changes

00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:35.099
 everything

00:33:35.099 --> 00:33:36.019
 in

00:33:36.019 --> 00:33:36.500
 life

00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:38.119
 this

00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:38.500
 is our

00:33:38.500 --> 00:33:39.000
 passion

00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:39.220
 at

00:33:39.220 --> 00:33:39.379
 St.

00:33:39.420 --> 00:33:39.920
 Paul's

00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:40.319
 this

00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:40.639
 is our

00:33:40.639 --> 00:33:41.319
 motivation

00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:42.359
 to

00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:44.700
 God's

00:33:44.700 --> 00:34:08.819
 God's

00:34:08.819 --> 00:34:09.299
 word

00:34:09.299 --> 00:34:11.159
 it

00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:12.799
 our attitude to leadership.

00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:15.480
 It changes our attitude to even ourselves

00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:16.480
 and our own hearts.

00:34:19.899 --> 00:34:21.980
 And in that sense, when that happens,

00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:27.199
 we become truly transcultural when that happens.

00:34:28.659 --> 00:34:32.339
 A church that exists, that reflects,

00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:39.259
 that embraces, that enjoys a rich cultural diversity

00:34:39.260 --> 00:34:42.220
 and yet because of the power of the gospel,

00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:44.900
 we rise above all of those things,

00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:46.580
 our Jewishness, our gentleness

00:34:46.580 --> 00:34:49.780
 and whatever else you want to attach to that

00:34:49.780 --> 00:34:53.420
 and we form a new community in Christ

00:34:53.420 --> 00:34:55.720
 with a new set of gospel-shaped values

00:34:55.720 --> 00:34:58.500
 that we're pursuing because we are his much-loved children.

00:34:59.720 --> 00:35:00.820
 That's what it means to be transcultural.

00:35:02.220 --> 00:35:03.020
 That's our vision.

00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.420
 It is worth us remembering as we close up

00:35:08.420 --> 00:35:13.039
 that Paul is speaking still in this moment to Peter,

00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:18.220
 the great apostle Peter.

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:24.420
 We are not above receiving this rebuke from Paul ourselves.

00:35:26.500 --> 00:35:30.000
 Paul finishes by reminding Peter here

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:32.500
 that the whole of the Christian life

00:35:32.500 --> 00:35:36.059
 is about living in line with the gospel

00:35:36.059 --> 00:35:38.539
 in all areas of your life

00:35:38.539 --> 00:35:40.940
 for the whole of your lives.

00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:44.000
 We must continue on as Christians

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:45.719
 as we started as Christians,

00:35:46.460 --> 00:35:48.539
 as we begin by the gospel of grace,

00:35:48.659 --> 00:35:50.480
 so we continue with the gospel of grace

00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:52.519
 and so we finish with the gospel of grace.

00:35:52.659 --> 00:35:54.480
 As Paul affirms here in verse 21,

00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:58.119
 Do not set aside the grace of God

00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:01.039
 for if righteousness could be attained through the law,

00:36:01.420 --> 00:36:03.820
 Christ died for nothing.

00:36:05.219 --> 00:36:06.719
 There is no other gospel.

00:36:06.860 --> 00:36:07.860
 You can't add to it.

00:36:08.699 --> 00:36:10.300
 You add, you nullify it.

00:36:10.340 --> 00:36:11.199
 It becomes nothing.

00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:17.779
 Jesus Christ either does everything for you

00:36:17.779 --> 00:36:19.739
 or he does nothing for you.

00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.079
 We cannot combine our merit and his grace

00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:26.179
 and end up with a better product,

00:36:26.299 --> 00:36:27.259
 a better righteousness.

00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:30.759
 If our right standing before God

00:36:30.759 --> 00:36:33.619
 is in any way contributed to by our merit,

00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:38.559
 then Jesus' death is meaningless in history

00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:43.860
 and it's meaningless for you personally right now.

00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:51.340
 And yet when we look down on other people,

00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:53.539
 we're adding to it.

00:36:55.179 --> 00:36:56.079
 We're adding to it.

00:36:57.099 --> 00:36:58.719
 It's coming from a heart that says,

00:36:58.980 --> 00:37:00.079
 I'm superior.

00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:02.099
 It's not coming from the gospel.

00:37:02.980 --> 00:37:03.779
 It's coming from a heart that says,

00:37:03.860 --> 00:37:04.320
 I'm superior.

00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:11.119
 Let me just drive this home for you.

00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:14.779
 We can't contribute anything.

00:37:15.619 --> 00:37:18.360
 Imagine for a moment that your house was on fire

00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:22.039
 but your whole family managed to escape

00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:23.440
 and you're on the front yard

00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:25.639
 and I come over.

00:37:25.779 --> 00:37:29.079
 I come running over to see what I could do

00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:30.940
 and you're all on the front yard.

00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:31.699
 Your dog, your cat,

00:37:31.799 --> 00:37:33.059
 you've got goldfish out and everything.

00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:33.960
 You're all on the front yard.

00:37:34.059 --> 00:37:34.840
 You're all safe.

00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:36.880
 And I say to you,

00:37:37.300 --> 00:37:39.519
 let me show you how much I love you.

00:37:40.980 --> 00:37:43.079
 And I run into the house and I die.

00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:48.340
 And you would go,

00:37:49.100 --> 00:37:49.860
 well, that was weird.

00:37:51.539 --> 00:37:52.539
 That's tragic.

00:37:53.460 --> 00:37:54.320
 That's stupid.

00:37:55.460 --> 00:37:57.740
 What a pointless waste of life.

00:38:02.059 --> 00:38:03.880
 Imagine your house was on fire

00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:05.940
 and you're trapped inside

00:38:05.940 --> 00:38:08.280
 and I call,

00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:09.059
 I come running over

00:38:09.059 --> 00:38:09.780
 and I call out,

00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:12.220
 let me show you how much I love you.

00:38:12.660 --> 00:38:13.660
 And I run in

00:38:13.660 --> 00:38:14.740
 and I rescue you.

00:38:16.019 --> 00:38:17.579
 I managed to save the whole family,

00:38:17.660 --> 00:38:18.660
 the cat, the goldfish, everything,

00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:20.860
 but I perished myself.

00:38:22.240 --> 00:38:24.340
 You would think that was true life.

00:38:26.940 --> 00:38:28.240
 That was true love

00:38:28.240 --> 00:38:31.200
 to give his life for us.

00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:36.519
 If we could get ourselves

00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:37.639
 on the front lawn,

00:38:37.879 --> 00:38:39.699
 if we could save ourselves

00:38:39.699 --> 00:38:42.500
 in any measure whatsoever,

00:38:43.539 --> 00:38:46.159
 Christ died for nothing.

00:38:46.819 --> 00:38:48.019
 It was pointless.

00:38:48.579 --> 00:38:49.599
 It means nothing.

00:38:51.819 --> 00:38:53.179
 If on the other hand,

00:38:53.579 --> 00:38:56.599
 we realize that we cannot save ourselves,

00:38:57.399 --> 00:38:59.819
 his death means everything.

00:38:59.820 --> 00:39:04.640
 It means so much

00:39:04.640 --> 00:39:06.320
 that we will spend

00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:07.920
 the rest of our lives

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.680
 for the one

00:39:10.680 --> 00:39:13.260
 who has given himself for us

00:39:13.260 --> 00:39:15.320
 in joyful service of him,

00:39:16.140 --> 00:39:17.900
 bringing our whole lives

00:39:17.900 --> 00:39:20.480
 into line with his precious gospel,

00:39:22.120 --> 00:39:22.780
 or for patio,

00:39:23.680 --> 00:39:25.000
 straight walking with him.

00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:25.059
 Amen.

00:39:25.059 --> 00:39:25.120
 Amen.

00:39:25.120 --> 00:39:25.180
 Amen.

00:39:25.180 --> 00:39:25.280
 Amen.
