00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480
 You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:10.620
 Our passion is to experience and express grace. Join us.

00:00:12.700 --> 00:00:15.759
 We're going to be back in Ephesians chapter 4 this morning.

00:00:17.859 --> 00:00:22.679
 As Paul applies the truths of the gospel to the lives of the Ephesians,

00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:27.620
 we come to what can be a fairly complex passage this morning.

00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:33.039
 So listen closely as I read beginning at verse 17 and then we'll talk about it together.

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.079
 Ephesians 4 starting at verse 17.

00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:45.439
 Now this I say and testify in the Lord that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do in the futility of their minds.

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:53.120
 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of heart.

00:00:53.119 --> 00:01:01.219
 They've become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.

00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.039
 But that is not the way you learned Christ.

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:10.120
 Assuming that you have heard about Him and were taught in Him as the truth is in Jesus,

00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:16.640
 to put off your old self which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,

00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:19.200
 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

00:01:19.300 --> 00:01:25.700
 and to put on the new self created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

00:01:26.860 --> 00:01:30.680
 Thus far God's holy, inerrant, and infallible Word.

00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:31.940
 Let's pray.

00:01:31.940 --> 00:01:31.960
 Let's pray.

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:42.660
 Father, we come to your Word and ask that as we look to it,

00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:50.620
 the words of my mouth and the meditations of all of our hearts would be acceptable in your sight.

00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:54.219
 Oh God, our Rock and our Redeemer.

00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:55.520
 Our trust is in you.

00:01:55.620 --> 00:01:56.700
 Our hope is in you.

00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:58.880
 Help us now by your Spirit.

00:01:59.680 --> 00:01:59.960
 Amen.

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:00.120
 Amen.

00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:08.740
 We've talked already a little bit this morning about the reality of sin in the life of a follower of Christ.

00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:11.340
 It's a perplexing issue, isn't it?

00:02:11.420 --> 00:02:17.140
 And one that's raised again in these verses when we see things like the old man and the new man,

00:02:17.219 --> 00:02:21.300
 and the putting off and the putting on, and what is it that's going on?

00:02:21.340 --> 00:02:22.300
 When does that happen?

00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:24.439
 How does that happen?

00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.120
 What are the results in my life?

00:02:27.359 --> 00:02:29.139
 How does it actually play out?

00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:34.659
 Why is it, in other words, that I can have a new heart given me by God,

00:02:34.699 --> 00:02:38.139
 my heart of stone replaced with a heart of flesh,

00:02:38.139 --> 00:02:43.800
 so that I actually desire to, for instance, love people sacrificially?

00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:50.259
 And of all the people in the world actually would want to love my wife, right?

00:02:50.259 --> 00:02:57.299
 Why is it that that can be true and then that just this week I sin against her?

00:02:57.819 --> 00:03:00.000
 I love myself instead of her.

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.840
 I was insensitive, unthoughtful.

00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:09.319
 Instead of listening to her, I wanted to propose my own solutions

00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:14.019
 and have her understand my wonderful plans and great ideas.

00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:17.600
 And in my own desire to have things my way,

00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:22.660
 I sinned against someone I really wanted to love sacrificially.

00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:24.140
 Why?

00:03:24.580 --> 00:03:26.680
 Why haven't I quit doing that?

00:03:27.740 --> 00:03:30.160
 Why haven't you quit doing that?

00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:33.640
 Hang with me for just a minute.

00:03:33.780 --> 00:03:37.000
 We're going to dive into a little bit of theological investigation.

00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.400
 We're doing this at the beginning while you're still awake.

00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:41.900
 So I intended to be helpful.

00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:46.260
 Look a little bit at what the Bible says about ongoing sin

00:03:46.260 --> 00:03:48.319
 in the life of a follower of Jesus.

00:03:48.740 --> 00:03:51.140
 Because this can be difficult to wade through.

00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:56.800
 It says first that victory has been secured and a new life begun.

00:03:56.939 --> 00:03:58.860
 This is the clear teaching of Scripture.

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:02.020
 2 Corinthians 5.17, you probably have heard this one.

00:04:02.659 --> 00:04:04.000
 If anyone's in Christ, he's what?

00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:05.180
 A new creation.

00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.200
 Old gone, new has come.

00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.400
 Galatians tells us, or Romans,

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.659
 we know our old self was crucified with him.

00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.759
 It's been killed, that old self,

00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:18.579
 so that we're not slaves to sin.

00:04:18.660 --> 00:04:20.980
 We've been set free from sin, right?

00:04:22.340 --> 00:04:22.939
 Keep going.

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:25.780
 Galatians 5.

00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.939
 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh.

00:04:29.019 --> 00:04:29.980
 It's dead.

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:32.819
 And then Colossians 3,

00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.319
 which is a parallel to the passage we're looking at this morning,

00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:35.639
 says,

00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:37.639
 you have already,

00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:38.519
 it's saying,

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.120
 put off the old self

00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.479
 and put on the new self.

00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:44.039
 That's already happened.

00:04:44.180 --> 00:04:47.159
 There's been victory won for you by whom?

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:48.379
 By Jesus.

00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:50.300
 He has crucified

00:04:50.300 --> 00:04:52.060
 the old self

00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:53.819
 and brought to life

00:04:53.819 --> 00:04:56.439
 something where in the past there was death.

00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.199
 The song we sang a minute ago,

00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:00.579
 my sin,

00:05:00.699 --> 00:05:02.800
 oh the bliss of this glorious thought,

00:05:02.899 --> 00:05:03.560
 my sin,

00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:04.819
 not in part,

00:05:05.259 --> 00:05:06.199
 but the whole,

00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:07.420
 all of it was what?

00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:09.639
 Nailed to the cross.

00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.420
 And I bear it no more.

00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:12.959
 I don't carry that burden.

00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.000
 Jesus has nailed it to the cross.

00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:16.659
 And so we might say,

00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:20.399
 perhaps the Bible's teaching Christians won't sin anymore.

00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.099
 Is that what that means?

00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:25.439
 Well, no.

00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.319
 The Bible also says,

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.899
 the same human author Paul, by the way,

00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:31.879
 all the verses we'll look at this morning,

00:05:32.899 --> 00:05:34.219
 the Bible also says

00:05:34.219 --> 00:05:35.919
 that there's an ongoing war

00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:37.859
 against that new life.

00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:40.199
 Romans chapter 7,

00:05:40.359 --> 00:05:42.659
 I do what I don't want to do.

00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.199
 I keep doing the evil that I don't want

00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.979
 and there's a law of sin

00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:51.819
 that's waging war against the law of God in me.

00:05:52.280 --> 00:05:54.620
 There's a war going on within me.

00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:56.780
 Look at the next one.

00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.160
 Next chapter of Romans

00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.240
 says there's maybe an old self

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:03.200
 that's been put to death,

00:06:03.340 --> 00:06:04.879
 but by the Spirit,

00:06:04.980 --> 00:06:06.480
 you still need to put to death

00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:07.819
 the deeds of the body.

00:06:07.900 --> 00:06:09.080
 There's something that still needs

00:06:09.080 --> 00:06:10.060
 to be put to death,

00:06:10.340 --> 00:06:12.240
 a battle that still needs to take place.

00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:14.160
 Galatians 5,

00:06:15.460 --> 00:06:17.600
 desires of the flesh against the Spirit,

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.020
 they're opposed to each other,

00:06:19.400 --> 00:06:20.460
 fighting with each other,

00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.280
 warring inside you.

00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:25.180
 Colossians 3,

00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:27.500
 even though your old self is gone

00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:28.780
 and your new self has come,

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.620
 there's a putting to death

00:06:30.620 --> 00:06:31.720
 that still needs to happen.

00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:36.020
 Always, always a war ongoing.

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:37.900
 Even though victory's been secured,

00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:39.300
 the Bible says,

00:06:39.540 --> 00:06:41.120
 there's also still a war.

00:06:41.320 --> 00:06:42.260
 It's what we talked about

00:06:42.260 --> 00:06:44.160
 with that catechism question earlier.

00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.220
 That even though sin is defeated,

00:06:46.340 --> 00:06:47.800
 that it's been nailed to the cross

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:48.960
 and we bear it no more,

00:06:49.020 --> 00:06:51.100
 there are remnants of sin

00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:52.820
 in every part of us, right?

00:06:53.220 --> 00:06:54.620
 That's what's going on.

00:06:55.080 --> 00:06:57.140
 That's at least part of what's happening

00:06:57.140 --> 00:07:00.440
 and why I would not love my wife

00:07:00.440 --> 00:07:02.020
 as I should.

00:07:02.140 --> 00:07:04.280
 Why we don't love God

00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:05.580
 as we ought to.

00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.660
 See, Jesus delivered us once for all

00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:10.040
 from the penalty of sin

00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.240
 on the cross.

00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.780
 One day He will deliver us forever

00:07:13.780 --> 00:07:15.319
 from the presence of sin

00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:16.639
 at all in our lives.

00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:16.920
 Amen?

00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:19.740
 But now,

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.079
 sin still plagues us

00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:23.319
 even though it doesn't have

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:24.480
 authority over us.

00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.120
 We're not slaves to it anymore.

00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:27.400
 We have new hearts,

00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:28.199
 new lives.

00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.300
 G.K. Chesterton says,

00:07:31.819 --> 00:07:33.019
 sin in the life of the believer

00:07:33.019 --> 00:07:35.300
 is like a rhinoceros in a restaurant.

00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:37.340
 It's a vivid image, isn't it?

00:07:37.900 --> 00:07:38.400
 He says,

00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.400
 if there's a rhinoceros in a restaurant,

00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:41.219
 Chesterton says,

00:07:41.379 --> 00:07:42.959
 I'd be the first one to rise up

00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:43.679
 and assure him

00:07:43.679 --> 00:07:46.019
 he had no authority whatsoever

00:07:46.019 --> 00:07:47.699
 in the restaurant.

00:07:48.979 --> 00:07:50.679
 But he would exert a lot of power.

00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:53.359
 He would make a big difference.

00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:54.679
 It would certainly disrupt,

00:07:54.799 --> 00:07:55.139
 wouldn't it?

00:07:55.679 --> 00:07:57.359
 That's what sin is like.

00:07:57.459 --> 00:07:58.939
 Even though it has no authority

00:07:59.459 --> 00:08:01.159
 in the life of a believer,

00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.739
 it still exerts a lot of power.

00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:06.539
 Isn't that more than just

00:08:06.539 --> 00:08:07.799
 theological speculation?

00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.139
 Isn't that your personal,

00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:12.780
 practical experience?

00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:14.100
 Haven't you lived that?

00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:16.900
 Can't you relate to what I shared about

00:08:16.900 --> 00:08:18.819
 with wanting to love my wife

00:08:18.819 --> 00:08:20.319
 and then this ongoing battle

00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:21.780
 and disappointment of,

00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:23.420
 I've failed again?

00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:25.540
 Where in this battle,

00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.680
 it does feel like I keep doing things

00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:28.660
 I don't want to do.

00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:32.159
 Where I think I've got this sin under control

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.299
 and I've declared victory over it

00:08:34.299 --> 00:08:35.099
 and then it comes back

00:08:35.099 --> 00:08:37.359
 or I've got this area of weakness

00:08:37.359 --> 00:08:38.179
 under control

00:08:38.179 --> 00:08:39.819
 and two more pop up over here

00:08:39.819 --> 00:08:41.479
 and I've got to fight against them.

00:08:42.419 --> 00:08:43.359
 Can't you relate to that?

00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:46.919
 Haven't you felt that in your own life?

00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:49.419
 Has it ever made you ask why?

00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.419
 Why, God, didn't you just get rid of sin

00:08:52.419 --> 00:08:54.139
 once and for all on the cross

00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:55.500
 and make us perfect immediately?

00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:56.599
 Have you ever asked that question?

00:08:57.219 --> 00:08:58.179
 I've asked that question.

00:08:58.319 --> 00:08:59.219
 Man, that would have been

00:08:59.219 --> 00:09:01.099
 such a good idea, it feels like.

00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:02.820
 Just be done with it.

00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:05.220
 Why do I have to struggle with this

00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:07.820
 if Jesus came to defeat sin?

00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:10.220
 Why am I still battling against it?

00:09:11.700 --> 00:09:14.279
 We won't take that theological rabbit trail.

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:15.720
 We've taken enough this morning.

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:19.399
 The Bible doesn't always thoroughly explain why

00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:21.960
 and answer every question we might have,

00:09:22.060 --> 00:09:23.759
 but at least part of the answer

00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.740
 is that our ongoing struggle with sin

00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:28.960
 is a constant reminder of our need for Jesus.

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.759
 that He wants to be in relationship with us,

00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:34.480
 not just give us a gift.

00:09:35.580 --> 00:09:36.540
 More on that later.

00:09:38.420 --> 00:09:40.900
 We turn to our passage in Ephesians 4.

00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:43.500
 Finally, I know you're glad to get to Ephesians.

00:09:44.540 --> 00:09:45.320
 We're back.

00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:49.160
 And look at it and see how it says at the beginning,

00:09:49.340 --> 00:09:52.060
 you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do.

00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:53.480
 Verse 17.

00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:56.200
 You must no longer walk that way.

00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.460
 Don't live like the old man

00:09:58.460 --> 00:10:00.280
 because that's not who you are anymore.

00:10:01.020 --> 00:10:02.340
 You learned, Paul says,

00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:05.000
 when I came to you and told you about Jesus,

00:10:05.140 --> 00:10:07.120
 you learned that the new life,

00:10:07.259 --> 00:10:11.280
 that following Jesus was not just a mere tweak,

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.420
 that it was life-altering.

00:10:14.900 --> 00:10:16.220
 That old man was gone

00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:17.720
 and new man was coming to life.

00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.940
 That happens when you first trust Jesus, he says.

00:10:21.760 --> 00:10:23.720
 That's what it meant to be baptized into Jesus.

00:10:23.940 --> 00:10:26.360
 That it wasn't just buying eternal life insurance.

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.420
 Jesus was a wholesale change of identity and life.

00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:33.000
 So our passage this week

00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:36.660
 talks about that reality theologically and generally.

00:10:37.900 --> 00:10:39.240
 While the next several verses,

00:10:39.400 --> 00:10:40.140
 the rest of the chapter,

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.320
 we're going to look at next week

00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.240
 and they talk about this specifically and practically.

00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.139
 Don't live like the old man

00:10:47.139 --> 00:10:49.100
 because that's not who you are anymore.

00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:50.560
 That's what it's saying.

00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:53.259
 I want to give us an imperfect,

00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:55.399
 but I think helpful analogy

00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.680
 for the next couple of weeks.

00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.600
 We'll use this for both of these conversations.

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:03.340
 And it's about witness protection.

00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.039
 Imagine, if you will,

00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.220
 that you are Philip Ptolemeo.

00:11:09.060 --> 00:11:11.360
 Philip Ptolemeo was involved with the mob,

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.100
 a very sinister group known as the Calabresi Crew

00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:17.259
 in Chicago in the 1980s.

00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:20.320
 But Philip had a falling out with the boss.

00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.960
 And so Philip ran off from the mob

00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:25.060
 and took a lot of money.

00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.680
 And he also took tons of evidence.

00:11:28.379 --> 00:11:31.480
 All of the illegal stuff that they were up to,

00:11:31.820 --> 00:11:34.500
 Ptolemeo walked away with enough stuff

00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:36.100
 to put them all behind bars.

00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.940
 Well, they didn't, as you might imagine,

00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.120
 take real kindly to him going to the FBI.

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.700
 And so he would have been in grave danger,

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:46.419
 facing almost certain death

00:11:46.419 --> 00:11:49.039
 at the hands of the violent mob

00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:49.899
 if they found him.

00:11:50.340 --> 00:11:51.600
 And so what happened?

00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.720
 He became a part of the witness protection program.

00:11:55.659 --> 00:11:57.379
 His former identity was erased.

00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:00.820
 An entirely new identity created for him

00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:03.340
 in a different city with a different occupation

00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:06.879
 so he could live life free from harm.

00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:10.299
 The most important part of the program,

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:11.019
 they say,

00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:13.559
 is that you must embrace your new identity,

00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.259
 not reach back into the old life that you had.

00:12:17.700 --> 00:12:19.600
 And according to the U.S. Marshals Service,

00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:22.620
 no witness who has embraced his new identity

00:12:22.620 --> 00:12:23.720
 has ever been killed.

00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:25.000
 That's what they say.

00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.100
 They do a good job protecting witnesses.

00:12:28.100 --> 00:12:31.000
 It wouldn't be safe, would it,

00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:33.620
 to go back to the old life?

00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:34.980
 Imagine you're Ptolemeo.

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.820
 It would be absolutely essential, wouldn't it,

00:12:38.899 --> 00:12:41.220
 to embrace the new life that you've been given,

00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:41.860
 to say,

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:43.200
 this is who I am now.

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:45.180
 I'm somebody different.

00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.340
 It wouldn't be safe any longer

00:12:47.340 --> 00:12:49.060
 to go to dinner with friends

00:12:49.060 --> 00:12:51.300
 and decide to tell a few interesting stories

00:12:51.300 --> 00:12:52.759
 from your mob days, you know.

00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:55.559
 My new friends will like what I used to be.

00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:56.439
 That wouldn't be safe.

00:12:56.980 --> 00:12:58.120
 It wouldn't be a good move

00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:59.319
 to go back to Chicago

00:12:59.319 --> 00:13:01.039
 just because you're a big Cubs fan

00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:02.220
 and wanted to catch a game.

00:13:03.860 --> 00:13:05.200
 It wouldn't be wise

00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.200
 to throw around your old name anymore.

00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.159
 You have to be completely your new identity,

00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.100
 not living like the old Ptolemeo any longer.

00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.379
 That's what Paul's saying here in Ephesians 4.

00:13:17.899 --> 00:13:20.019
 Walk in a way that is consistent

00:13:20.019 --> 00:13:21.200
 with your new identity.

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.960
 Live in a way that's fitting

00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:25.140
 with your new life in Christ.

00:13:25.580 --> 00:13:27.520
 Because there's been a drastic change, right?

00:13:27.580 --> 00:13:28.940
 We've been talking about this

00:13:28.940 --> 00:13:30.140
 for weeks and weeks now.

00:13:30.580 --> 00:13:33.220
 What God has done for us in Christ

00:13:33.220 --> 00:13:35.759
 is that He's taken us

00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.879
 from being enemies to Him

00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:39.020
 and made us sons.

00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:42.480
 In the very first chapter of Ephesians,

00:13:42.580 --> 00:13:43.759
 it's our union with Christ,

00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:45.600
 our being connected to Him

00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:47.280
 that's made that change in us.

00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:48.580
 We're no longer dead,

00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:51.440
 no longer far off,

00:13:52.259 --> 00:13:54.860
 no longer by nature objects of wrath,

00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:57.080
 facing certain judgment and death.

00:13:57.580 --> 00:13:59.540
 No, rather we've been made alive.

00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:02.980
 We've become objects not of God's wrath,

00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:03.900
 but His mercy,

00:14:04.660 --> 00:14:05.879
 been drawn near to Him

00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:06.879
 and made into a temple

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:10.700
 where God would desire to dwell in us.

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.700
 An amazing identity change, right?

00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:16.759
 Incredible what God has done for us

00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.100
 all because we were wonderful.

00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:19.600
 No.

00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.120
 All because of being in Christ.

00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:26.259
 There's the Cliffs notes

00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:28.040
 on the first three chapters of Ephesians

00:14:28.040 --> 00:14:29.040
 in case you missed it.

00:14:29.800 --> 00:14:31.259
 You've entered witness protection.

00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:34.960
 You've been given an entirely new life to live.

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:37.400
 And now Paul says embrace that.

00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:39.940
 Live consistently with this new identity.

00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:42.240
 That's what He's telling us today.

00:14:42.520 --> 00:14:43.980
 And He warns us of some things

00:14:43.980 --> 00:14:44.840
 we have to remember

00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:46.700
 if we're going to live this new life.

00:14:46.800 --> 00:14:49.400
 Two things in this particular passage.

00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:51.480
 The first is that He warns us

00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:52.700
 not to underestimate

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:55.680
 the danger of sin.

00:14:56.940 --> 00:14:58.340
 He's going to be pretty direct

00:14:58.340 --> 00:15:00.260
 in His words about sin.

00:15:00.980 --> 00:15:01.780
 But be assured,

00:15:01.880 --> 00:15:03.060
 this is not Paul

00:15:03.060 --> 00:15:05.560
 forgetting what he's taught us about grace

00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.839
 and all of a sudden lapsing back

00:15:07.839 --> 00:15:09.199
 into something else

00:15:09.199 --> 00:15:10.159
 and legalism.

00:15:11.019 --> 00:15:11.279
 No.

00:15:11.579 --> 00:15:14.079
 This is Paul preaching grace strongly.

00:15:14.659 --> 00:15:15.899
 Grace allows us to be.

00:15:15.979 --> 00:15:17.199
 In fact, it demands

00:15:17.199 --> 00:15:19.659
 that we be serious about sin

00:15:19.659 --> 00:15:22.599
 and honest about its destructive nature.

00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:25.679
 That's why we need grace, right?

00:15:27.019 --> 00:15:28.559
 Grace should never lead us

00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:29.659
 to treat sin lightly

00:15:29.659 --> 00:15:30.959
 but rather seriously.

00:15:31.819 --> 00:15:32.759
 Paul's telling us here

00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:34.619
 we must not walk in the ways of sin

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:36.560
 that characterized our old man.

00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:38.759
 He's saying don't declare a truce

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.039
 with an enemy Jesus died to defeat.

00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:44.019
 Don't make friends.

00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:46.000
 Don't declare a truce

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.879
 with an enemy Jesus died to defeat.

00:15:51.419 --> 00:15:52.960
 We saw a few weeks ago

00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:54.639
 God's 4D love for us.

00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:56.399
 It's width and breadth

00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.240
 and height and depth.

00:15:59.019 --> 00:16:00.340
 Today Paul gives us

00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:02.240
 a 3D look at sin.

00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:03.399
 It's dangerous

00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:04.980
 and destructive nature.

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.419
 The first D of how sin works

00:16:08.419 --> 00:16:10.560
 is that sin is deceitful.

00:16:12.019 --> 00:16:13.399
 That word itself is used

00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:14.379
 in verse 22

00:16:14.379 --> 00:16:17.340
 to describe our desires.

00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:18.899
 The sinful desires

00:16:18.899 --> 00:16:20.779
 of the old man are deceitful.

00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:22.039
 And in fact,

00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:23.240
 this whole section begins

00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:25.279
 with talking about

00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:26.820
 our faulty thinking

00:16:26.820 --> 00:16:28.180
 and our old way of life.

00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:29.519
 Notice how he starts

00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:31.120
 in verses 17 and 18.

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:33.559
 He talks here

00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:34.620
 about the futility

00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:35.960
 of their minds.

00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.259
 Darkened in their understanding.

00:16:39.319 --> 00:16:39.919
 Ignorance.

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:42.220
 He's talking about

00:16:42.220 --> 00:16:43.639
 the brokenness

00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:44.500
 in our thinking.

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.759
 The ways that

00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:48.000
 we've been deceived.

00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:49.759
 Sin by its very nature

00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.179
 has always been full

00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:52.000
 of falsehood

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:52.559
 and deception,

00:16:52.819 --> 00:16:53.120
 hasn't it?

00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:54.899
 We're led away

00:16:54.899 --> 00:16:56.279
 by believing the lies

00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:57.620
 of Satan and sin.

00:16:59.100 --> 00:17:00.139
 What are some of the ways

00:17:00.139 --> 00:17:01.740
 that sin deceives believers?

00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.299
 What are some of the lies

00:17:04.299 --> 00:17:05.619
 that we believe

00:17:05.619 --> 00:17:06.460
 where we think,

00:17:06.579 --> 00:17:06.960
 oh yes,

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:08.299
 that's true.

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:09.259
 How does sin

00:17:09.259 --> 00:17:10.059
 take us in

00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:11.660
 and drag us away?

00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:13.819
 It tells us

00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:14.460
 to go ahead

00:17:14.460 --> 00:17:15.859
 and indulge in sin

00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:17.119
 because what?

00:17:18.099 --> 00:17:19.059
 Maybe you've

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:20.660
 thought this.

00:17:21.740 --> 00:17:22.619
 Indulge in sin.

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:24.119
 No one will get hurt.

00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:26.159
 It's just harmless.

00:17:26.419 --> 00:17:27.379
 No one will get hurt.

00:17:28.139 --> 00:17:29.299
 You can do that.

00:17:31.139 --> 00:17:32.839
 Maybe sin has told you,

00:17:33.479 --> 00:17:33.699
 you know,

00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:34.339
 you can stop

00:17:34.339 --> 00:17:34.859
 when you want.

00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:37.419
 It won't really be

00:17:37.419 --> 00:17:38.559
 something that lasts

00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:39.159
 very long.

00:17:39.259 --> 00:17:40.199
 It'll just be a little sin.

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:41.239
 You know,

00:17:41.479 --> 00:17:42.699
 do it and then stop

00:17:42.699 --> 00:17:43.699
 whenever you feel like it.

00:17:46.439 --> 00:17:47.319
 A lot of us

00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:47.739
 have believed

00:17:47.739 --> 00:17:48.439
 this next one.

00:17:49.459 --> 00:17:50.439
 You deserve better.

00:17:52.419 --> 00:17:53.279
 Sin tells you that.

00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:54.460
 whispers it in your ear.

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:55.440
 You deserve better

00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.740
 than that spouse.

00:17:59.099 --> 00:18:01.240
 Than that kind of salary.

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:03.799
 Than that kind of life.

00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:05.799
 You deserve better

00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:06.319
 than that.

00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:08.500
 Then there's the

00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:09.639
 twisted truth

00:18:09.639 --> 00:18:10.539
 into a lie

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:12.759
 that we hear a lot.

00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:15.019
 God will forgive you.

00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:16.500
 Grace is there

00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:17.420
 for all your sins

00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:18.579
 so it's okay.

00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:19.940
 Sin will even make

00:18:19.940 --> 00:18:20.819
 grace seem bigger

00:18:20.819 --> 00:18:21.460
 to you

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:22.779
 if you just indulge

00:18:22.779 --> 00:18:23.339
 a little bit.

00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:23.700
 Right?

00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:25.720
 And that's true.

00:18:25.859 --> 00:18:26.619
 Grace is there.

00:18:27.659 --> 00:18:29.039
 God does forgive.

00:18:30.159 --> 00:18:31.000
 But the lie

00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:31.839
 we're buying into

00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:32.299
 is that

00:18:32.299 --> 00:18:33.319
 we're seeing

00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:34.279
 grace is more beautiful.

00:18:34.419 --> 00:18:35.000
 What's going on

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:35.700
 in my heart

00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:36.119
 is that

00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:36.859
 it's actually

00:18:36.859 --> 00:18:37.700
 losing sight

00:18:37.700 --> 00:18:38.319
 of the beauty

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:38.980
 and the wonder

00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:39.679
 of the grace

00:18:39.679 --> 00:18:40.240
 of Jesus

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:41.899
 even as I allow

00:18:41.899 --> 00:18:42.619
 sin to become

00:18:42.619 --> 00:18:43.279
 more attractive

00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:43.799
 to me.

00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:46.899
 So we believe

00:18:46.899 --> 00:18:47.879
 one of these lies

00:18:47.879 --> 00:18:49.180
 or one of many others.

00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:50.319
 We're deceived.

00:18:50.700 --> 00:18:51.919
 We indulge

00:18:51.919 --> 00:18:53.399
 in just a few clicks

00:18:53.399 --> 00:18:54.159
 on the computer.

00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:55.700
 You know

00:18:55.700 --> 00:18:56.579
 just a few minutes

00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:57.500
 lingering there.

00:18:59.220 --> 00:19:00.339
 We allow our lips

00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:01.480
 to gossip

00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:02.779
 and it feels good

00:19:02.779 --> 00:19:03.220
 in the moment

00:19:03.220 --> 00:19:03.919
 because I just needed

00:19:03.919 --> 00:19:04.980
 to get that off my chest.

00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:06.180
 I just needed to say that

00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:07.259
 about him or her

00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:09.099
 and it just felt so good

00:19:09.099 --> 00:19:10.539
 just to say it.

00:19:10.539 --> 00:19:13.059
 We indulge

00:19:13.059 --> 00:19:14.359
 in a few minutes

00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:15.319
 of daydreams

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:16.940
 about what life

00:19:16.940 --> 00:19:17.700
 could be like

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:19.619
 or would be like

00:19:19.619 --> 00:19:20.039
 or yes

00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:22.240
 if only I had

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:23.099
 yes

00:19:23.099 --> 00:19:24.119
 that would really

00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:24.940
 fulfill me

00:19:24.940 --> 00:19:26.220
 then yes

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:27.079
 that would be

00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:28.379
 so wonderful

00:19:28.379 --> 00:19:29.519
 then I'd be happy.

00:19:31.619 --> 00:19:32.619
 And we indulge

00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:33.079
 in sin

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:34.259
 except we

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:35.819
 we often don't

00:19:35.819 --> 00:19:36.559
 take into account

00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:37.359
 verse 19

00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:39.579
 the second D

00:19:39.579 --> 00:19:40.259
 about sin

00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:41.019
 is that it is

00:19:41.019 --> 00:19:42.059
 deadening.

00:19:44.299 --> 00:19:45.500
 Here's what happens

00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:46.119
 when we

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:47.359
 believe the lies

00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:47.799
 of sin

00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:48.839
 they become

00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:49.779
 callous

00:19:49.779 --> 00:19:51.660
 and given

00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:52.460
 themselves up.

00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:53.440
 That word

00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:54.379
 callous

00:19:54.379 --> 00:19:55.859
 a deadening

00:19:55.859 --> 00:19:56.680
 of the senses

00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:57.079
 right?

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:58.099
 Sin makes us

00:19:58.099 --> 00:19:59.119
 calloused.

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:01.779
 It deadens

00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:02.980
 or desensitizes

00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:04.200
 us to the damage

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:04.740
 we're causing

00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:05.319
 ourselves.

00:20:06.140 --> 00:20:06.920
 And so what do we do

00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:07.740
 when our senses

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:08.240
 are deadened?

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:08.920
 We indulge

00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:09.920
 more and more.

00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:11.160
 You know

00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:12.240
 that wasn't so bad

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:12.680
 was it?

00:20:13.019 --> 00:20:13.900
 No one really

00:20:13.900 --> 00:20:14.700
 found out it was

00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:15.480
 true there weren't

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:16.140
 any negative

00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:17.200
 consequences.

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:18.960
 That felt good.

00:20:19.539 --> 00:20:20.420
 And so our senses

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:21.539
 get deadened.

00:20:22.860 --> 00:20:23.420
 Calloused.

00:20:23.840 --> 00:20:24.660
 And looking for

00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:25.400
 pleasure and

00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:26.279
 fulfillment which

00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:27.420
 we're longing for

00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:28.580
 we begin to

00:20:28.580 --> 00:20:29.680
 want more.

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.580
 It says we're

00:20:30.580 --> 00:20:31.100
 greedy.

00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:32.220
 The word there

00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:33.140
 is covetous.

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:34.759
 We're greedy

00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:36.059
 to indulge

00:20:36.059 --> 00:20:37.079
 and practice

00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:38.400
 every kind

00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:38.920
 of impurity.

00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:39.400
 Why?

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:40.720
 Because our senses

00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:41.279
 are deadened

00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:41.720
 and it takes

00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:42.480
 more to get

00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:43.440
 the same feeling

00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:44.420
 and I don't

00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:45.200
 feel fulfilled

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:46.240
 and all of a sudden

00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:47.160
 this doesn't feel

00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:47.980
 as wonderful

00:20:47.980 --> 00:20:48.640
 as I was hoping

00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:49.259
 I need more

00:20:49.259 --> 00:20:49.700
 and more.

00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:51.720
 And we covet

00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.319
 what we think

00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:54.000
 will satisfy

00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:54.900
 our longings.

00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:57.299
 The Bible tells us

00:20:57.299 --> 00:20:57.839
 we covet our

00:20:57.839 --> 00:20:58.640
 neighbor's wife,

00:21:00.180 --> 00:21:00.879
 his house,

00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:02.420
 his life,

00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:03.460
 his assets,

00:21:03.580 --> 00:21:04.259
 his status

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:05.840
 and we want

00:21:05.840 --> 00:21:06.800
 more of it.

00:21:08.320 --> 00:21:09.259
 Just a little sin

00:21:09.259 --> 00:21:10.240
 doesn't satisfy

00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:10.700
 does it?

00:21:11.860 --> 00:21:12.759
 We become deadened

00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:13.900
 and we long

00:21:13.900 --> 00:21:15.420
 greedy, greedy

00:21:15.420 --> 00:21:16.240
 to indulge

00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:17.019
 every kind

00:21:17.019 --> 00:21:17.700
 of impurity.

00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:19.920
 One of the

00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:20.519
 respectable

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:22.640
 acceptable sins

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:23.340
 of the American

00:21:23.340 --> 00:21:24.000
 middle class

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:24.800
 is gluttony.

00:21:25.580 --> 00:21:26.259
 I struggle

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:26.880
 with this.

00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:28.740
 And when we

00:21:28.740 --> 00:21:29.400
 describe it

00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:30.300
 it's so acceptable

00:21:30.300 --> 00:21:31.039
 to us that we

00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:31.940
 can actually think

00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:32.779
 it's light-hearted

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:33.440
 or funny

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:34.039
 sometimes

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:35.700
 but it can

00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:36.620
 really be serious.

00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:37.480
 It's a serious

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.059
 heart issue.

00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:39.360
 On Wednesday

00:21:39.360 --> 00:21:39.980
 mornings here

00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:40.400
 at the church

00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:41.080
 a group of men

00:21:41.080 --> 00:21:42.120
 have Bible study.

00:21:42.620 --> 00:21:43.240
 They come early

00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:44.279
 and they very

00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:45.380
 kindly leave

00:21:45.380 --> 00:21:46.340
 almost every week

00:21:46.340 --> 00:21:48.779
 a dozen or so

00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:49.519
 Krispy Kreme

00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:50.880
 donuts behind.

00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:52.539
 And so I get

00:21:52.539 --> 00:21:53.039
 to the office

00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:53.660
 on Wednesday

00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:54.120
 mornings

00:21:54.120 --> 00:21:55.799
 and typically

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:56.460
 one of the first

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:57.039
 things I do

00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:57.880
 is locate that

00:21:57.880 --> 00:21:58.340
 box

00:21:58.340 --> 00:21:59.940
 and have one

00:21:59.940 --> 00:22:00.620
 when I get it.

00:22:00.620 --> 00:22:01.400
 It's so good.

00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:02.440
 I love Krispy Kreme

00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.480
 and then James

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.400
 Parker walks up

00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:05.940
 and says something

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:06.340
 like a moment

00:22:06.340 --> 00:22:06.759
 on the lips

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.500
 forever on the hips

00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:09.300
 and so I

00:22:09.300 --> 00:22:10.660
 slink back

00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:11.380
 into my office

00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:11.960
 and wish I

00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:12.320
 hadn't even

00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:13.000
 had the one

00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.780
 but they're

00:22:15.780 --> 00:22:16.380
 really good

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:18.259
 and then I get

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:18.620
 to working

00:22:18.620 --> 00:22:19.280
 on my sermon

00:22:19.280 --> 00:22:19.900
 or something

00:22:19.900 --> 00:22:20.380
 like that

00:22:20.380 --> 00:22:20.700
 and things

00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:21.080
 are coming

00:22:21.080 --> 00:22:21.620
 slowly.

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:22.280
 It's just

00:22:22.280 --> 00:22:23.600
 really struggling

00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:25.320
 and really

00:22:25.320 --> 00:22:26.340
 frustrated with

00:22:26.340 --> 00:22:26.800
 myself

00:22:26.800 --> 00:22:27.460
 and so I'll

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:28.000
 wander back

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:28.599
 out for

00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:29.920
 another donut

00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:31.640
 and through

00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:32.119
 the day

00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:33.039
 each subsequent

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:33.619
 donut

00:22:33.619 --> 00:22:34.740
 is actually

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:35.700
 what we call

00:22:35.700 --> 00:22:36.039
 in order

00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:37.000
 again mostly

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:37.400
 to make

00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:38.000
 ourselves feel

00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:38.720
 okay about it

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:39.339
 we call it

00:22:39.339 --> 00:22:39.579
 what?

00:22:40.460 --> 00:22:41.019
 Eating my

00:22:41.019 --> 00:22:41.440
 feelings.

00:22:42.180 --> 00:22:43.460
 Am I the only

00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:43.880
 one in here

00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:44.460
 who eats my

00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:44.740
 feelings?

00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:45.859
 I eat my

00:22:45.859 --> 00:22:46.339
 feelings

00:22:46.339 --> 00:22:47.559
 and so that's

00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:48.299
 actually usually

00:22:48.299 --> 00:22:49.000
 what's going on

00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:50.039
 and that's funny

00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:50.559
 and when we say

00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:50.920
 it that way

00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:51.480
 we laugh

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:52.400
 but what's

00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:53.220
 actually happening?

00:22:53.660 --> 00:22:54.460
 In my need

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:55.079
 I'm turning

00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:56.480
 to a donut

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.519
 instead of

00:22:58.519 --> 00:22:59.039
 allowing my

00:22:59.039 --> 00:22:59.680
 need to drive

00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:00.380
 me to God

00:23:00.380 --> 00:23:01.319
 and I should

00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:01.660
 be seeing

00:23:01.660 --> 00:23:02.299
 danger

00:23:02.299 --> 00:23:03.640
 danger

00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:04.220
 this is

00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:05.759
 spiritually

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.740
 treacherous

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:08.620
 I'm finding

00:23:08.620 --> 00:23:09.559
 my need

00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:10.400
 the longing

00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:11.059
 that I feel

00:23:11.059 --> 00:23:11.559
 fulfilled

00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:12.279
 somewhere that's

00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:13.100
 not God

00:23:13.100 --> 00:23:15.340
 doesn't seem

00:23:15.340 --> 00:23:15.799
 so bad

00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:16.920
 it feels

00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:17.420
 good

00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:18.160
 to turn

00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:18.620
 back to

00:23:18.620 --> 00:23:19.299
 that box

00:23:19.299 --> 00:23:20.420
 one more

00:23:20.420 --> 00:23:20.799
 time

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:22.519
 feels especially

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:22.940
 good if you

00:23:22.940 --> 00:23:23.500
 cut it in half

00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:24.079
 first and come

00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:24.500
 back and eat

00:23:24.500 --> 00:23:25.000
 the other half

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:25.439
 later because

00:23:25.439 --> 00:23:25.740
 you save

00:23:25.740 --> 00:23:26.220
 calories

00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:27.939
 that's an

00:23:27.939 --> 00:23:29.039
 extra tip

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:29.559
 for free

00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:31.619
 but as you

00:23:31.619 --> 00:23:31.899
 go back

00:23:31.899 --> 00:23:32.379
 it leaves you

00:23:32.379 --> 00:23:32.899
 wanting more

00:23:32.899 --> 00:23:33.359
 doesn't it?

00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:34.220
 You begin to

00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:34.960
 realize I'm not

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:35.759
 fulfilled by

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:36.839
 just having a

00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:38.059
 donut in the

00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:38.299
 morning

00:23:38.299 --> 00:23:39.199
 there's something

00:23:39.199 --> 00:23:39.740
 else I'm not

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:40.759
 quite satisfied

00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:43.019
 now you fill in

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:43.480
 the blanks

00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:44.039
 maybe it is

00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:44.579
 gluttony

00:23:44.579 --> 00:23:46.039
 food

00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:47.500
 for you

00:23:47.500 --> 00:23:48.500
 maybe it's

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:48.899
 drink

00:23:48.899 --> 00:23:50.699
 maybe it's

00:23:50.699 --> 00:23:51.439
 body image

00:23:51.439 --> 00:23:53.399
 maybe it's

00:23:53.399 --> 00:23:54.019
 bank account

00:23:54.019 --> 00:23:55.680
 and we

00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:56.160
 just need a

00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:56.740
 little more

00:23:56.740 --> 00:23:57.079
 than we

00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:57.720
 used to

00:23:57.720 --> 00:23:58.619
 in order to

00:23:58.619 --> 00:23:59.240
 feel good

00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:00.160
 because sin

00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:01.019
 having deceived

00:24:01.019 --> 00:24:01.839
 us has

00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:02.680
 deadened our

00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:03.180
 senses

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:04.660
 and it's like

00:24:04.660 --> 00:24:05.299
 the proverbial

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:05.940
 frog in

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:06.859
 boiling water

00:24:06.859 --> 00:24:07.500
 where eventually

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:08.379
 you will realize

00:24:08.379 --> 00:24:09.059
 the third

00:24:09.059 --> 00:24:10.000
 D of sin

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:11.139
 that it's not

00:24:11.139 --> 00:24:12.119
 just deceitful

00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:13.359
 and deadening

00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:15.220
 but it's actually

00:24:15.220 --> 00:24:15.680
 deadly

00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:17.740
 enough donuts

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:18.579
 would do that

00:24:18.579 --> 00:24:19.339
 that's not

00:24:19.339 --> 00:24:20.539
 usually the way

00:24:20.539 --> 00:24:21.539
 we experience it

00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:22.559
 verse 19

00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:23.200
 they've given

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:24.460
 themselves up

00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:25.579
 like in Romans

00:24:25.579 --> 00:24:26.159
 1 God

00:24:26.159 --> 00:24:27.180
 giving us over

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:28.220
 the same concept

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:29.059
 to our sinful

00:24:29.059 --> 00:24:29.639
 desires

00:24:29.639 --> 00:24:30.420
 in other words

00:24:30.420 --> 00:24:31.200
 taking it to

00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:31.920
 its fullest

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:32.519
 extent

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:33.259
 it's the nature

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:33.940
 of sin

00:24:33.940 --> 00:24:35.119
 it brings

00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:36.039
 death

00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:37.839
 James chapter

00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:38.240
 1

00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.019
 desire when it

00:24:40.019 --> 00:24:40.599
 is conceived

00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:41.480
 gives birth to

00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:42.480
 sin and sin

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:43.519
 when it's fully

00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:44.639
 grown brings

00:24:44.639 --> 00:24:46.079
 forth death

00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:47.420
 by its very

00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:47.720
 nature

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:48.619
 Proverbs 14

00:24:48.619 --> 00:24:49.039
 12

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:49.879
 there's a way

00:24:49.879 --> 00:24:50.439
 that seems

00:24:50.439 --> 00:24:51.159
 right to a

00:24:51.159 --> 00:24:51.319
 man

00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:52.000
 it makes

00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:52.419
 sense

00:24:52.419 --> 00:24:53.059
 it feels

00:24:53.059 --> 00:24:53.459
 good

00:24:53.459 --> 00:24:54.879
 and in the

00:24:54.879 --> 00:24:55.279
 end

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:56.639
 it's the way

00:24:56.639 --> 00:24:57.219
 to death

00:24:57.219 --> 00:24:59.259
 it seemed

00:24:59.259 --> 00:24:59.739
 so good

00:24:59.739 --> 00:25:00.259
 but it began

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:00.739
 to choke

00:25:00.739 --> 00:25:01.199
 the life

00:25:01.199 --> 00:25:01.759
 out of me

00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:03.359
 that's why

00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:04.039
 Paul warns

00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:04.519
 us against

00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:05.419
 underestimating

00:25:05.419 --> 00:25:06.139
 the destructive

00:25:06.139 --> 00:25:07.199
 nature of sin

00:25:07.199 --> 00:25:08.259
 of the old

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:08.519
 life

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:08.859
 he doesn't

00:25:08.859 --> 00:25:09.119
 want us

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:09.839
 dragged away

00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:10.839
 to death

00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:13.579
 just like

00:25:13.579 --> 00:25:13.979
 Philip

00:25:13.979 --> 00:25:14.659
 Tolomeo

00:25:14.659 --> 00:25:15.079
 Brenda

00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:15.699
 Potts

00:25:15.699 --> 00:25:16.579
 entered witness

00:25:16.579 --> 00:25:17.079
 protection

00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:17.500
 with the

00:25:17.500 --> 00:25:17.759
 U.S.

00:25:17.879 --> 00:25:18.259
 Marshals

00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:19.140
 she was

00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:19.640
 17

00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:20.799
 in 2002

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:21.379
 when she

00:25:21.379 --> 00:25:22.200
 began to

00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:22.680
 turn in

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.259
 members of

00:25:23.259 --> 00:25:23.720
 the violent

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.440
 street gang

00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:24.960
 she'd been

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.559
 a part of

00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:26.319
 she was

00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:26.960
 relocated

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:27.460
 with a new

00:25:27.460 --> 00:25:27.859
 name

00:25:27.859 --> 00:25:28.259
 and a new

00:25:28.259 --> 00:25:29.180
 social security

00:25:29.180 --> 00:25:29.579
 number

00:25:29.579 --> 00:25:30.980
 from Virginia

00:25:30.980 --> 00:25:32.079
 to Kansas

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:32.400
 City

00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:32.799
 Missouri

00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:33.799
 right where

00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:34.299
 she'd be

00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:34.920
 safe

00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:36.960
 but Brenda

00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:37.680
 never embraced

00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:38.079
 her new

00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:38.480
 life

00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:39.779
 she repeatedly

00:25:39.779 --> 00:25:40.539
 called old

00:25:40.539 --> 00:25:41.099
 friends and

00:25:41.099 --> 00:25:41.660
 even invited

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:42.019
 them out

00:25:42.019 --> 00:25:42.460
 to visit

00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:42.819
 her

00:25:42.819 --> 00:25:44.279
 she was

00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:45.079
 relocated

00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:45.579
 time and

00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:46.039
 again to

00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:46.379
 try to

00:25:46.379 --> 00:25:47.019
 keep her

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:47.440
 safe

00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:48.220
 but only

00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:48.759
 one year

00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:49.420
 after entering

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:50.279
 witness protection

00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:51.059
 she returned

00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:51.720
 to Virginia

00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:53.320
 and was

00:25:53.320 --> 00:25:53.860
 found dead

00:25:53.860 --> 00:25:54.400
 within a few

00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:54.840
 days

00:25:54.840 --> 00:25:57.059
 there's death

00:25:57.059 --> 00:25:58.680
 at the end

00:25:58.680 --> 00:25:59.039
 of your

00:25:59.039 --> 00:25:59.779
 old way of

00:25:59.779 --> 00:26:00.140
 life

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:00.900
 Paul says

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:02.200
 sin is not

00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:02.820
 as pleasant

00:26:02.820 --> 00:26:03.820
 as it promises

00:26:03.820 --> 00:26:04.400
 to be

00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:05.480
 don't make

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:06.200
 friends or

00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:06.840
 declare a

00:26:06.840 --> 00:26:07.299
 truce on

00:26:07.299 --> 00:26:07.820
 an enemy

00:26:07.820 --> 00:26:08.900
 that Christ

00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:09.900
 had to die

00:26:09.900 --> 00:26:10.500
 in order to

00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:10.900
 defeat

00:26:10.900 --> 00:26:12.140
 sin is

00:26:12.140 --> 00:26:13.220
 treacherous

00:26:13.220 --> 00:26:14.440
 it deceives you

00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:15.059
 it deadens

00:26:15.059 --> 00:26:15.600
 your senses

00:26:15.600 --> 00:26:16.220
 and it's

00:26:16.220 --> 00:26:16.920
 deadly

00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:18.500
 and Christ

00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:19.480
 had to die

00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:20.059
 to defeat

00:26:20.059 --> 00:26:20.220
 it

00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:20.960
 his death

00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:21.440
 shows you

00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:22.160
 the seriousness

00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:22.820
 of sin

00:26:22.820 --> 00:26:23.680
 you've been

00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:24.860
 rescued from

00:26:24.860 --> 00:26:25.880
 sin by his

00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:26.380
 grace

00:26:26.380 --> 00:26:27.559
 not rescued

00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:28.820
 to indulge

00:26:28.820 --> 00:26:29.640
 in sin

00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:30.539
 in self

00:26:30.539 --> 00:26:31.220
 destroying

00:26:31.220 --> 00:26:32.720
 lusts

00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:35.539
 he's rescued

00:26:35.539 --> 00:26:35.980
 you for

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:36.480
 something

00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:37.340
 quite different

00:26:37.340 --> 00:26:39.660
 so finally

00:26:39.660 --> 00:26:40.539
 and much

00:26:40.539 --> 00:26:41.100
 more briefly

00:26:41.100 --> 00:26:42.620
 there's something

00:26:42.620 --> 00:26:43.000
 else we

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:43.279
 shouldn't

00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:43.740
 underestimate

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:44.319
 besides

00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:44.839
 the danger

00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:45.380
 of sin

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:45.680
 if we're

00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:46.160
 going to

00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:46.599
 live our

00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:47.119
 new life

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:48.720
 this passage

00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:49.279
 warns us

00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:49.700
 not to

00:26:49.700 --> 00:26:50.259
 underestimate

00:26:50.259 --> 00:26:51.160
 the scope

00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:52.400
 of God's

00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:52.859
 work

00:26:52.859 --> 00:26:54.299
 let me show

00:26:54.299 --> 00:26:54.619
 you what

00:26:54.619 --> 00:26:55.480
 Paul says

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:56.599
 verse 20

00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:57.940
 this running

00:26:57.940 --> 00:26:58.619
 headlong

00:26:58.619 --> 00:26:59.619
 after sin

00:26:59.619 --> 00:27:00.859
 that he's

00:27:00.859 --> 00:27:01.420
 talked about

00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:01.700
 in these

00:27:01.700 --> 00:27:02.160
 first few

00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:02.400
 verses

00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:02.720
 he says

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:03.339
 that's not

00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:03.779
 the way

00:27:03.779 --> 00:27:04.339
 you learned

00:27:04.339 --> 00:27:04.880
 Christ

00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:06.559
 that's not

00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:06.920
 what you

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:07.359
 were told

00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:07.759
 when you

00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:08.400
 met Jesus

00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:09.160
 rather

00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:09.740
 as we've

00:27:09.740 --> 00:27:10.019
 seen

00:27:10.019 --> 00:27:10.400
 you were

00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:10.700
 taught

00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:11.299
 that following

00:27:11.299 --> 00:27:11.640
 Jesus

00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:12.519
 was life

00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:12.980
 altering

00:27:12.980 --> 00:27:13.440
 trading

00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:13.819
 old

00:27:13.819 --> 00:27:14.360
 desires

00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:14.680
 for

00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:14.920
 new

00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:15.259
 old

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:15.920
 thinking

00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:16.279
 for

00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:16.500
 new

00:27:16.500 --> 00:27:16.799
 old

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:17.319
 living

00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:18.059
 for

00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:18.440
 new

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:19.900
 Jesus

00:27:19.900 --> 00:27:20.539
 changes

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:21.420
 everything

00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:21.759
 right

00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:24.079
 and remember

00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:24.480
 that old

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:24.980
 self put

00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:25.279
 off

00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:25.599
 and the

00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:25.799
 new

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.360
 self put

00:27:26.360 --> 00:27:26.599
 on

00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:26.940
 is what

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:27.440
 happened

00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:28.160
 when the

00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:28.579
 Ephesians

00:27:28.579 --> 00:27:29.319
 first met

00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:30.059
 Jesus

00:27:30.059 --> 00:27:31.660
 that's what

00:27:31.660 --> 00:27:32.259
 they're new

00:27:32.259 --> 00:27:33.980
 but there's

00:27:33.980 --> 00:27:34.380
 even more

00:27:34.380 --> 00:27:35.000
 God's up to

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:35.279
 in our

00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:35.720
 lives

00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:36.240
 and it's

00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:36.759
 good news

00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:37.339
 because

00:27:37.339 --> 00:27:38.259
 the danger

00:27:38.259 --> 00:27:38.940
 of what

00:27:38.940 --> 00:27:39.360
 happens

00:27:39.360 --> 00:27:39.700
 if we

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:40.339
 underestimate

00:27:40.339 --> 00:27:41.120
 the scope

00:27:41.120 --> 00:27:41.660
 of God's

00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:41.900
 work

00:27:41.900 --> 00:27:42.560
 there's a

00:27:42.560 --> 00:27:42.860
 danger

00:27:42.860 --> 00:27:43.180
 when we

00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:43.500
 hear a

00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:43.740
 sermon

00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:44.460
 like this

00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:45.460
 or read

00:27:45.460 --> 00:27:46.000
 a passage

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:46.540
 like this

00:27:46.540 --> 00:27:47.060
 that talks

00:27:47.060 --> 00:27:47.540
 about the

00:27:47.540 --> 00:27:48.300
 dangers

00:27:48.300 --> 00:27:48.860
 of sin

00:27:48.860 --> 00:27:49.080
 and the

00:27:49.080 --> 00:27:49.480
 importance

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:49.860
 of a

00:27:49.860 --> 00:27:50.240
 new life

00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:50.400
 you know

00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:50.600
 what the

00:27:50.600 --> 00:27:50.900
 danger

00:27:50.900 --> 00:27:51.280
 is

00:27:51.280 --> 00:27:52.160
 what do

00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:52.420
 you begin

00:27:52.420 --> 00:27:52.880
 to feel

00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:54.600
 it's all

00:27:54.600 --> 00:27:55.060
 up to me

00:27:55.060 --> 00:27:56.540
 it's all

00:27:56.540 --> 00:27:56.940
 on me

00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:57.240
 now

00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:58.780
 I gotta

00:27:58.780 --> 00:27:59.019
 get it

00:27:59.019 --> 00:27:59.420
 together

00:27:59.420 --> 00:28:00.400
 sin is

00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:00.940
 dangerous

00:28:00.940 --> 00:28:01.680
 I've got

00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:02.800
 to live

00:28:02.800 --> 00:28:03.360
 differently

00:28:03.360 --> 00:28:04.200
 then at the

00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:04.540
 end of the

00:28:04.540 --> 00:28:04.980
 day it's

00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:05.480
 all up

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:06.000
 to us

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:06.440
 now

00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.019
 yes

00:28:08.019 --> 00:28:08.360
 Jesus

00:28:08.360 --> 00:28:08.940
 thank you

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:09.560
 for forgiving

00:28:09.560 --> 00:28:10.160
 my sins

00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:10.480
 that was

00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:11.000
 wonderful

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.779
 but now

00:28:11.779 --> 00:28:12.120
 it's up

00:28:12.120 --> 00:28:12.519
 to me

00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:13.200
 to try

00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:13.660
 harder

00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:14.579
 to just

00:28:14.579 --> 00:28:15.120
 do it

00:28:15.120 --> 00:28:16.259
 be new

00:28:16.259 --> 00:28:16.880
 lifey

00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:17.220
 enough

00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:17.480
 I don't

00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:17.759
 even know

00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:17.980
 what that

00:28:17.980 --> 00:28:18.400
 would look

00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:18.720
 like

00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:18.980
 but I

00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:19.240
 need to

00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:19.640
 drum up

00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:19.980
 enough

00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:20.680
 willpower

00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:21.420
 the next

00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:21.799
 time

00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:22.319
 to close

00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:22.960
 my mouth

00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:24.200
 or the

00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:25.019
 computer screen

00:28:25.019 --> 00:28:25.880
 or whatever

00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:26.240
 it is

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:26.480
 I'm gonna

00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:27.039
 do it

00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:29.380
 but you

00:28:29.380 --> 00:28:29.640
 know it

00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:29.920
 doesn't

00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:30.279
 work

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:31.880
 I know

00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:32.400
 that doesn't

00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:32.759
 work

00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:34.380
 and God's

00:28:34.380 --> 00:28:34.880
 word tells

00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:35.480
 us it's not

00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:35.860
 even what he

00:28:35.860 --> 00:28:36.380
 designed

00:28:36.380 --> 00:28:37.839
 you see

00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:38.519
 sometimes we

00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:39.119
 underestimate

00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:39.759
 the scope

00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.319
 of God's

00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:40.559
 work

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:41.059
 even while

00:28:41.059 --> 00:28:41.440
 we think

00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:41.839
 we're making

00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:42.480
 much of the

00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:43.079
 cross of

00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:43.500
 Christ

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:44.379
 while we

00:28:44.379 --> 00:28:45.019
 think we're

00:28:45.019 --> 00:28:45.799
 celebrating it

00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:46.579
 and the grace

00:28:46.579 --> 00:28:47.180
 and forgiveness

00:28:47.180 --> 00:28:48.240
 of Jesus

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:48.680
 there

00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:49.879
 we think of

00:28:49.879 --> 00:28:50.319
 what God

00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:50.720
 did in

00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:51.359
 sending Jesus

00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:51.859
 for us

00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:52.720
 was for the

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.099
 goal of

00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:53.700
 forgiving our

00:28:53.700 --> 00:28:54.220
 sins and

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:54.660
 getting us

00:28:54.660 --> 00:28:55.139
 to heaven

00:28:55.139 --> 00:28:57.240
 that in

00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:57.759
 between he

00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:58.220
 was just

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:58.559
 gonna leave

00:28:58.559 --> 00:28:59.000
 us on our

00:28:59.000 --> 00:28:59.319
 own

00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:00.539
 between now

00:29:00.539 --> 00:29:00.900
 and heaven

00:29:00.900 --> 00:29:01.259
 it's up

00:29:01.259 --> 00:29:01.839
 to us

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.839
 and we

00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:03.299
 think that's

00:29:03.299 --> 00:29:04.019
 saying a lot

00:29:04.019 --> 00:29:04.980
 about the

00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:05.559
 cross

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:07.400
 it's actually

00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:07.940
 selling it

00:29:07.940 --> 00:29:08.200
 short

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:08.819
 this passage

00:29:08.819 --> 00:29:09.299
 paints a

00:29:09.299 --> 00:29:09.640
 broader

00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:10.039
 and a

00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:10.340
 higher

00:29:10.340 --> 00:29:10.700
 goal

00:29:10.700 --> 00:29:11.559
 not just

00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:12.340
 a gift

00:29:12.340 --> 00:29:13.519
 of eternal

00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:14.940
 life insurance

00:29:14.940 --> 00:29:16.000
 but look at

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.720
 verse 24

00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:18.360
 created

00:29:18.360 --> 00:29:19.360
 after the

00:29:19.360 --> 00:29:19.940
 likeness

00:29:19.940 --> 00:29:20.620
 of God

00:29:20.620 --> 00:29:21.680
 in true

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:22.500
 righteousness

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:23.360
 and holiness

00:29:23.360 --> 00:29:24.000
 where does that

00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:24.400
 take you

00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:25.100
 back to

00:29:25.100 --> 00:29:25.779
 Genesis 1

00:29:25.779 --> 00:29:26.039
 right

00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:27.380
 created

00:29:27.380 --> 00:29:28.380
 after the

00:29:28.380 --> 00:29:28.920
 likeness

00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:29.539
 of God

00:29:29.539 --> 00:29:30.799
 he designed

00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:31.279
 you in

00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:32.160
 his image

00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:33.980
 to be in

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:34.660
 relationship

00:29:34.660 --> 00:29:35.200
 with him

00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:36.039
 to be in

00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:36.840
 a relationship

00:29:36.840 --> 00:29:37.200
 where you

00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:37.920
 trusted him

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:38.740
 and followed

00:29:38.740 --> 00:29:39.200
 him

00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:40.380
 true

00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:41.000
 righteousness

00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:41.680
 and holiness

00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:42.160
 that's what

00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:42.740
 God made

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:43.080
 you for

00:29:43.080 --> 00:29:43.380
 and it's

00:29:43.380 --> 00:29:43.800
 what he's

00:29:43.800 --> 00:29:44.480
 remaking

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:44.920
 you

00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:45.600
 for

00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:47.100
 even though

00:29:47.100 --> 00:29:47.700
 that perfect

00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:48.160
 image

00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:48.660
 and true

00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:49.279
 relationship

00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:49.779
 has been

00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:50.160
 broken

00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:51.320
 he hasn't

00:29:51.320 --> 00:29:51.779
 given up

00:29:51.779 --> 00:29:52.220
 on that

00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:53.600
 and he

00:29:53.600 --> 00:29:53.880
 hasn't

00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:54.360
 decided to

00:29:54.360 --> 00:29:54.580
 leave it

00:29:54.580 --> 00:29:54.840
 up to

00:29:54.840 --> 00:29:55.140
 you

00:29:55.140 --> 00:29:55.560
 either

00:29:55.560 --> 00:29:57.320
 he who

00:29:57.320 --> 00:29:57.680
 began

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.019
 a good

00:29:58.019 --> 00:29:58.320
 work

00:29:58.320 --> 00:29:58.759
 in you

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:59.660
 will carry

00:29:59.660 --> 00:30:00.000
 it on

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:00.660
 to completion

00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:01.240
 until the

00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:01.580
 day of

00:30:01.580 --> 00:30:01.880
 Jesus

00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:02.380
 Christ

00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:02.700
 right

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:03.980
 he will

00:30:03.980 --> 00:30:05.340
 he will

00:30:05.340 --> 00:30:05.740
 see it

00:30:05.740 --> 00:30:06.000
 through

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:06.819
 he is

00:30:06.819 --> 00:30:07.559
 recreating

00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:08.259
 remaking

00:30:08.259 --> 00:30:08.559
 you

00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:08.920
 in his

00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:09.240
 image

00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:10.039
 yes

00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:10.819
 he forgives

00:30:10.819 --> 00:30:11.880
 your sins

00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:12.720
 yes

00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:13.539
 he guarantees

00:30:13.539 --> 00:30:14.539
 your eternity

00:30:14.539 --> 00:30:16.200
 and he's also

00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:17.099
 working on us

00:30:17.099 --> 00:30:17.559
 today

00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:18.480
 and he won't

00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:19.039
 stop

00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:20.000
 he's not

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:20.259
 going to

00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:20.680
 quit

00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:21.900
 on us

00:30:21.900 --> 00:30:22.839
 he actually

00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:23.099
 wants

00:30:23.099 --> 00:30:23.480
 not just

00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:23.839
 to give

00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:24.140
 you the

00:30:24.140 --> 00:30:24.440
 gift

00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:24.720
 of a

00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:24.980
 get out

00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:25.319
 of jail

00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:25.660
 free

00:30:25.660 --> 00:30:26.079
 card

00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:26.619
 one day

00:30:26.619 --> 00:30:27.059
 someday

00:30:27.059 --> 00:30:27.539
 when you

00:30:27.539 --> 00:30:27.900
 die

00:30:27.900 --> 00:30:28.680
 he wants

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:29.119
 to live

00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:29.920
 in relationship

00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:30.619
 with you

00:30:30.619 --> 00:30:31.579
 now

00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:33.359
 that's what

00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:33.660
 he wants

00:30:33.660 --> 00:30:33.960
 he wants

00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:34.180
 you to

00:30:34.180 --> 00:30:34.640
 have a

00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:35.160
 relationship

00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:35.580
 where you

00:30:35.580 --> 00:30:36.060
 walk

00:30:36.060 --> 00:30:36.960
 with him

00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:37.980
 talk

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:38.700
 with him

00:30:38.700 --> 00:30:40.240
 where you

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:41.100
 abide

00:30:41.100 --> 00:30:42.360
 in him

00:30:42.360 --> 00:30:43.120
 depend

00:30:43.120 --> 00:30:43.720
 on him

00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:44.780
 for everything

00:30:44.780 --> 00:30:45.440
 that you

00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:45.820
 need

00:30:45.820 --> 00:30:46.780
 maybe that's

00:30:46.780 --> 00:30:47.380
 part of why

00:30:47.380 --> 00:30:47.900
 you sin

00:30:47.900 --> 00:30:48.500
 so that you'll

00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:49.420
 remember how

00:30:49.420 --> 00:30:49.860
 much you

00:30:49.860 --> 00:30:50.500
 need him

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:52.160
 that's his

00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:52.580
 heart

00:30:52.580 --> 00:30:53.860
 that he would

00:30:53.860 --> 00:30:54.400
 desire not

00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:55.200
 just to save

00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:55.600
 you but that

00:30:55.600 --> 00:30:55.880
 he would

00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:56.400
 desire to

00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:57.040
 know you

00:30:57.040 --> 00:30:57.280
 now

00:30:57.280 --> 00:30:57.600
 can you

00:30:57.600 --> 00:30:58.000
 believe

00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:58.440
 that

00:30:58.440 --> 00:30:59.540
 do you

00:30:59.540 --> 00:31:00.020
 really

00:31:00.020 --> 00:31:00.400
 really

00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:00.720
 think

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:01.040
 that's

00:31:01.040 --> 00:31:01.220
 true

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:01.540
 does he

00:31:01.540 --> 00:31:01.860
 feel

00:31:01.860 --> 00:31:02.300
 that way

00:31:02.300 --> 00:31:02.600
 about

00:31:02.600 --> 00:31:02.900
 you

00:31:02.900 --> 00:31:04.240
 the new

00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:04.540
 life

00:31:04.539 --> 00:31:04.759
 he's

00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:05.159
 designed

00:31:05.159 --> 00:31:05.639
 for us

00:31:05.639 --> 00:31:06.079
 is not

00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:06.559
 one of

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:06.899
 minor

00:31:06.899 --> 00:31:07.539
 improvement

00:31:07.539 --> 00:31:08.059
 on our

00:31:08.059 --> 00:31:08.379
 own

00:31:08.379 --> 00:31:09.779
 but of

00:31:09.779 --> 00:31:10.180
 true

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:10.759
 righteousness

00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:11.659
 and holiness

00:31:11.659 --> 00:31:13.059
 in Christ

00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:14.500
 his grace

00:31:14.500 --> 00:31:15.240
 may be even

00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:15.819
 bigger than

00:31:15.819 --> 00:31:16.659
 you imagined

00:31:16.659 --> 00:31:17.680
 Christian

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:19.720
 God intends

00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:20.399
 to give us

00:31:20.399 --> 00:31:21.299
 new life

00:31:21.299 --> 00:31:22.139
 not just

00:31:22.139 --> 00:31:22.799
 one that's

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:23.680
 slightly improved

00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:24.159
 but that is

00:31:24.159 --> 00:31:25.079
 rich and

00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:25.779
 free and

00:31:25.779 --> 00:31:26.339
 abundant

00:31:26.339 --> 00:31:28.159
 exactly as

00:31:28.159 --> 00:31:28.659
 he always

00:31:28.659 --> 00:31:29.059
 intended

00:31:29.059 --> 00:31:29.539
 it's why

00:31:29.539 --> 00:31:30.000
 he made

00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:30.240
 you

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:30.839
 it's what

00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:31.480
 he longs

00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:32.039
 for for

00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:32.319
 you

00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:33.139
 so be

00:31:33.139 --> 00:31:33.659
 clear that

00:31:33.659 --> 00:31:34.279
 this passage

00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:34.599
 isn't

00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:35.319
 hoisting

00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:35.779
 the burden

00:31:35.779 --> 00:31:36.279
 of true

00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:36.779
 righteousness

00:31:36.779 --> 00:31:37.500
 and holiness

00:31:37.500 --> 00:31:38.399
 on your

00:31:38.399 --> 00:31:38.879
 shoulders

00:31:38.879 --> 00:31:39.480
 it's

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:40.279
 God's

00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:40.940
 desire

00:31:40.940 --> 00:31:41.759
 promise

00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:42.220
 and

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:42.700
 commitment

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:44.440
 it's why

00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:44.720
 when we're

00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:45.259
 told to put

00:31:45.259 --> 00:31:45.639
 to death

00:31:45.639 --> 00:31:46.299
 the misdeeds

00:31:46.299 --> 00:31:46.619
 of the

00:31:46.619 --> 00:31:47.000
 flesh

00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:47.879
 it's only

00:31:47.879 --> 00:31:48.779
 by the

00:31:48.779 --> 00:31:49.160
 spirit

00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:50.839
 that we

00:31:50.839 --> 00:31:51.339
 put to

00:31:51.339 --> 00:31:51.619
 death

00:31:51.619 --> 00:31:52.279
 the misdeeds

00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:52.680
 because

00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:53.059
 you're not

00:31:53.059 --> 00:31:53.339
 on your

00:31:53.339 --> 00:31:53.680
 own

00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:54.019
 right

00:31:54.019 --> 00:31:55.960
 he dwells

00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:56.359
 in you

00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:57.200
 by the

00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:57.759
 spirit

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:58.379
 by the

00:31:58.379 --> 00:31:58.920
 one who's

00:31:58.920 --> 00:31:59.160
 there

00:31:59.160 --> 00:31:59.660
 with you

00:31:59.660 --> 00:32:00.299
 who hasn't

00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:01.079
 left you

00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:02.139
 put them

00:32:02.139 --> 00:32:02.639
 to death

00:32:02.639 --> 00:32:03.240
 he lives

00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:03.720
 in you

00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:06.059
 sometimes

00:32:06.059 --> 00:32:06.600
 we think

00:32:06.600 --> 00:32:07.100
 of avoiding

00:32:07.100 --> 00:32:07.680
 sin in

00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:08.279
 terms of

00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:08.860
 witness

00:32:08.860 --> 00:32:09.420
 protection

00:32:09.420 --> 00:32:10.860
 and we

00:32:10.860 --> 00:32:11.220
 mean

00:32:11.220 --> 00:32:11.779
 protecting

00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:12.019
 our

00:32:12.019 --> 00:32:12.460
 witness

00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:13.740
 our

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:14.360
 testimony

00:32:14.360 --> 00:32:14.700
 our

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:15.160
 good

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:15.559
 name

00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:17.380
 that's

00:32:17.380 --> 00:32:17.640
 not what

00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:18.000
 I mean

00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:20.120
 witness

00:32:20.120 --> 00:32:20.680
 protection

00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:21.140
 is about

00:32:21.140 --> 00:32:21.640
 protecting

00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:22.019
 whom

00:32:22.019 --> 00:32:23.259
 the

00:32:23.259 --> 00:32:23.720
 witness

00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:24.839
 himself

00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:26.880
 and no

00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:27.200
 matter what

00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:27.720
 struggles

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:28.220
 a witness

00:32:28.220 --> 00:32:29.100
 may have

00:32:29.100 --> 00:32:29.640
 embracing

00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:30.120
 his new

00:32:30.120 --> 00:32:30.579
 identity

00:32:30.579 --> 00:32:30.939
 no matter

00:32:30.939 --> 00:32:31.879
 how hard

00:32:31.879 --> 00:32:32.419
 it is

00:32:32.419 --> 00:32:32.720
 for him

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:33.159
 to live

00:32:33.159 --> 00:32:33.539
 out the

00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:33.859
 way that

00:32:33.859 --> 00:32:34.439
 he should

00:32:34.439 --> 00:32:35.460
 there's

00:32:35.460 --> 00:32:35.799
 always

00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:36.419
 in witness

00:32:36.419 --> 00:32:36.980
 protection

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:38.019
 a safe

00:32:38.019 --> 00:32:38.419
 house

00:32:38.419 --> 00:32:39.859
 it's often

00:32:39.859 --> 00:32:40.619
 protected by

00:32:40.619 --> 00:32:40.939
 U.S.

00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:41.460
 marshals

00:32:41.460 --> 00:32:43.119
 where the

00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:43.659
 witness can

00:32:43.659 --> 00:32:44.139
 go

00:32:44.139 --> 00:32:45.460
 and be

00:32:45.460 --> 00:32:45.819
 safe

00:32:45.819 --> 00:32:48.559
 the only

00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:49.500
 safe

00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:49.859
 house

00:32:49.859 --> 00:32:50.539
 for us

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:51.980
 is in

00:32:51.980 --> 00:32:52.939
 Christ

00:32:52.939 --> 00:32:53.899
 connected

00:32:53.899 --> 00:32:55.119
 to him

00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:56.099
 he's the

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:56.759
 place of

00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:57.240
 refuge

00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:57.539
 where

00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:58.319
 struggling

00:32:58.319 --> 00:32:58.899
 witnesses

00:32:58.899 --> 00:32:59.460
 find

00:32:59.460 --> 00:33:00.220
 abundant

00:33:00.220 --> 00:33:01.119
 life

00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:01.659
 by

00:33:01.659 --> 00:33:02.200
 pushing

00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:02.559
 back

00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:02.819
 into

00:33:02.819 --> 00:33:03.039
 him

00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:03.240
 it's

00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:03.399
 why

00:33:03.399 --> 00:33:03.559
 the

00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:03.819
 Bible

00:33:03.819 --> 00:33:04.200
 tells

00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:04.399
 us

00:33:04.399 --> 00:33:04.720
 to do

00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:04.960
 what

00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:05.319
 to

00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:05.879
 abide

00:33:05.879 --> 00:33:06.159
 in

00:33:06.159 --> 00:33:06.539
 him

00:33:06.539 --> 00:33:07.119
 to

00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:08.019
 dwell

00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:08.619
 connected

00:33:08.619 --> 00:33:08.859
 to

00:33:08.859 --> 00:33:09.019
 the

00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:09.420
 vine

00:33:09.420 --> 00:33:10.220
 close

00:33:10.220 --> 00:33:10.480
 to

00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:10.980
 Christ

00:33:10.980 --> 00:33:11.680
 gazing

00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:12.039
 on

00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:12.599
 his

00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:13.079
 beauty

00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:14.639
 because

00:33:14.639 --> 00:33:14.920
 in

00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:15.480
 Christ

00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:16.599
 here's

00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:16.740
 why

00:33:16.740 --> 00:33:16.960
 you're

00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:17.379
 safe

00:33:17.379 --> 00:33:18.039
 in

00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:18.440
 Christ

00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:18.720
 the

00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:19.180
 deadly

00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:19.720
 effects

00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:19.960
 of
