00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.300
 of the Red Church Bibles.

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.799
 Titus chapter 2, beginning at verse 1.

00:00:09.700 --> 00:00:12.880
 You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.240
 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect,

00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.059
 self-controlled and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.620
 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live,

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:28.640
 not to be slanderers or addicted to too much wine,

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.240
 but to teach what is good.

00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:34.460
 Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children,

00:00:35.020 --> 00:00:37.980
 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home,

00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:40.620
 to be kind and to be subject to their husbands

00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:43.520
 so that no one will malign the word of God.

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.920
 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.

00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.939
 In everything, set them an example by doing what is good.

00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:56.760
 In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech

00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:57.920
 that cannot be condemned.

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.160
 So that those who oppose you may be ashamed

00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:03.799
 because they have nothing bad to say about us.

00:01:05.019 --> 00:01:07.760
 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything,

00:01:08.099 --> 00:01:10.359
 to try to please them, not to talk back to them,

00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.159
 and not to steal from them,

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.239
 but to show that they can be fully trusted

00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.340
 so that in every way they will make the teaching

00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:18.900
 about God our Saviour attractive.

00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:23.420
 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.

00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:27.760
 It teaches us to say no to ungodliness and worldly passions,

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.740
 and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,

00:01:32.860 --> 00:01:34.420
 while we wait for the blessed hope,

00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:38.219
 the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ,

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.719
 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness,

00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.819
 and to purify for himself a people that are his very own,

00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:47.640
 eager to do what is good.

00:01:48.679 --> 00:01:50.760
 These, then, are the things you should teach.

00:01:51.579 --> 00:01:53.739
 Encourage and rebuke with all authority.

00:01:54.579 --> 00:01:56.299
 Do not let anyone despise you.

00:01:56.299 --> 00:02:06.420
 Thanks, Chris.

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.740
 There's some notes and pens there.

00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.840
 Maybe, Elena, you could do the notes.

00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:16.139
 Thank you.

00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:18.960
 Just as they're being passed out,

00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:22.259
 not them, they're not going to pass out.

00:02:22.259 --> 00:02:25.479
 They're going to pass pens and paper out.

00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:27.300
 Thank you.

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.540
 This morning's talk is really part two.

00:02:34.380 --> 00:02:37.120
 Last week we were looking at pure relationships,

00:02:37.880 --> 00:02:40.020
 from verses 1 to 10,

00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:42.120
 and this is really part two,

00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:47.660
 our motive to live out those pure relationships.

00:02:56.300 --> 00:03:04.439
 So, if you haven't been able to listen to last week's,

00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:05.939
 or indeed any of the other weeks,

00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.960
 they're all online at the church website.

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:11.480
 You can listen in to them there.

00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:17.380
 And again, if there are any questions that people want to follow up with afterwards,

00:03:17.380 --> 00:03:20.180
 then very happy to talk with you.

00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:24.860
 Indeed, that's part of what we do on Wednesday evenings as we gather together,

00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:31.020
 is to follow up on what we've been looking at and discuss it and apply it to our lives.

00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:37.340
 Well, we're going to be focusing in on chapter 2, verses 11 to 15 this morning,

00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:42.120
 and we're going to ask for God's help now as we do that together.

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:42.200
 Amen.

00:03:55.140 --> 00:04:05.480
 Father, we want to live lives that will make the teaching about God our Saviour attractive.

00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:17.539
 We want our individual lives and our relationships one to another to be so different

00:04:17.539 --> 00:04:25.800
 that people see in us the life of Christ and the purity of Christ,

00:04:26.599 --> 00:04:32.060
 and that people would be drawn to you, our great God and Saviour.

00:04:32.060 --> 00:04:37.259
 Father, we need your help to do that.

00:04:38.939 --> 00:04:41.459
 We need your Holy Spirit to be at work.

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:47.519
 And we pray that right now as we listen and as we read and study together,

00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:56.840
 that the power of your Spirit would be at work in forming our minds so that we understand,

00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.179
 but also that it would travel the distance to the heart,

00:05:02.500 --> 00:05:10.060
 inspiring us and motivating us to live as the people you call us to be.

00:05:10.060 --> 00:05:15.120
 We ask for your help in that, in Jesus' name.

00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:16.399
 Amen.

00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:22.959
 Well, school reports.

00:05:25.180 --> 00:05:28.000
 Some of you will be getting school reports very soon.

00:05:29.660 --> 00:05:31.639
 And from what I can remember of mine,

00:05:32.100 --> 00:05:35.519
 they were littered with comments like this.

00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.719
 Jonathan, that's my real name by the way,

00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.000
 has had a good term but must try harder.

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:50.599
 Jonathan must do better if he is going to make progress next term.

00:05:52.299 --> 00:05:54.139
 Jonathan has great potential,

00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:56.959
 but greater effort is required.

00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:02.539
 Your reports anything like that?

00:06:03.219 --> 00:06:08.500
 It was a sincere attempt to motivate me to work harder to get better results.

00:06:09.299 --> 00:06:12.039
 Needless to say, it never did work.

00:06:12.599 --> 00:06:14.159
 I never did get better.

00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.240
 In fact, it often felt that the more I tried,

00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.000
 the more I failed.

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:26.759
 Now, Titus, as we have been looking at over the last number of weeks,

00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:31.319
 is all about being and becoming a pure church.

00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:34.040
 Chapter 2, verses 1 to 10,

00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.160
 shows us in detail

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.220
 the standard of what it is,

00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:41.620
 what is expected to have

00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:45.519
 pure relationships within the church family.

00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.920
 This is the standard that's expected.

00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.259
 So, in verse 2,

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:50.460
 older men,

00:06:51.400 --> 00:06:52.920
 well, we are to be temperate,

00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.540
 worthy of respect and self-controlled.

00:06:56.660 --> 00:06:57.620
 Older women,

00:06:58.259 --> 00:06:59.080
 verse 3,

00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:01.200
 well, are to be reverent

00:07:01.200 --> 00:07:02.620
 in the way that they live

00:07:02.620 --> 00:07:04.560
 and not addicted to much wine.

00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:06.420
 Younger women,

00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:07.360
 verse 5,

00:07:08.020 --> 00:07:10.139
 are to love their children and husbands,

00:07:10.780 --> 00:07:11.860
 to be pure,

00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:12.840
 to be kind.

00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:14.740
 And younger men,

00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:15.420
 verse 6,

00:07:16.139 --> 00:07:17.860
 are to be self-controlled.

00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:22.860
 Now, the motivation we often receive

00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:24.300
 for this kind of living

00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:28.180
 is often like our old school report.

00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:30.740
 You must try harder.

00:07:31.780 --> 00:07:33.379
 You must do better.

00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:36.000
 Greater effort is required.

00:07:36.740 --> 00:07:39.220
 You must stop behaving like this

00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:43.020
 and you must start behaving like this.

00:07:43.019 --> 00:07:48.120
 The only problem with that kind of motive is,

00:07:48.719 --> 00:07:50.719
 as we all know from experience,

00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.240
 the harder we try,

00:07:53.419 --> 00:07:55.419
 the more it is we seem to fail.

00:07:56.459 --> 00:07:57.839
 And the more we fail,

00:07:58.699 --> 00:08:00.099
 the harder we try.

00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.279
 And it just becomes

00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.120
 this destructive cycle

00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:05.859
 of guilt and shame

00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:08.000
 and our lives

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.160
 and our relationships

00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:10.800
 lie in ruins

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:11.840
 before us.

00:08:13.660 --> 00:08:14.240
 Sadly,

00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:15.660
 that's how many people

00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:17.580
 try to live their lives.

00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:19.020
 Their motto

00:08:19.020 --> 00:08:20.319
 is simply this,

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:21.520
 I must

00:08:21.520 --> 00:08:21.800
 try

00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:22.800
 harder.

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:23.800
 I must try

00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:24.800
 harder.

00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.160
 Well,

00:08:26.220 --> 00:08:27.180
 that kind of motive

00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:30.000
 is an impure motive.

00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.060
 It will never get us anywhere.

00:08:33.060 --> 00:08:34.639
 What we need instead

00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:36.659
 is a pure motive.

00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:38.700
 A motive that will

00:08:38.700 --> 00:08:40.259
 and can

00:08:40.259 --> 00:08:41.960
 make us

00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:42.919
 into

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.480
 the kind of people

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.340
 that God calls us to be.

00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:48.800
 we need to be a people

00:08:48.800 --> 00:08:50.080
 who are motivated

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.220
 by grace.

00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:55.320
 So,

00:08:55.420 --> 00:08:56.420
 look at chapter 2,

00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:57.720
 verse 11.

00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:59.019
 This is the connecting

00:08:59.019 --> 00:09:00.540
 verse

00:09:00.540 --> 00:09:02.160
 between 1 to 10

00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:03.519
 and 11 to 15.

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:05.080
 For

00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.120
 the grace of God

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.620
 that brings salvation

00:09:08.620 --> 00:09:09.620
 has appeared

00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:11.180
 to all men.

00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:13.500
 Do you see

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:14.580
 how we're not given

00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:15.940
 a school report?

00:09:16.340 --> 00:09:17.580
 to make us

00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:18.300
 more pure?

00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:21.180
 He doesn't go on

00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:22.000
 from verse 10

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:22.480
 to say,

00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:23.139
 now,

00:09:23.259 --> 00:09:23.920
 older men,

00:09:24.379 --> 00:09:26.040
 I'm very disappointed

00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:26.639
 in you.

00:09:26.980 --> 00:09:27.920
 You really must

00:09:27.920 --> 00:09:28.660
 do better.

00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:30.440
 Older women,

00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:32.040
 you still haven't

00:09:32.040 --> 00:09:32.639
 sorted out

00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:33.259
 your drinking

00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:34.259
 and your gossiping.

00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:35.160
 You have to

00:09:35.160 --> 00:09:35.920
 try harder.

00:09:37.019 --> 00:09:37.840
 Young women,

00:09:38.220 --> 00:09:39.639
 you're still the same.

00:09:39.780 --> 00:09:40.519
 Your home life

00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:41.160
 is a mess.

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:42.400
 A lot more effort

00:09:42.400 --> 00:09:43.040
 is required

00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:43.860
 from all of you.

00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:45.720
 Younger men,

00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:47.060
 you've let the side

00:09:47.060 --> 00:09:47.680
 down again.

00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:48.820
 You really have

00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:49.680
 to do better.

00:09:52.019 --> 00:09:52.600
 But just even

00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:53.480
 the very thought

00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:54.040
 of that

00:09:54.040 --> 00:09:55.740
 kind of motive

00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:56.960
 is just

00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:57.840
 crushing.

00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:00.060
 It breaks us

00:10:00.060 --> 00:10:00.800
 and it

00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:02.300
 destroys us.

00:10:03.580 --> 00:10:04.019
 So,

00:10:04.100 --> 00:10:04.779
 instead of

00:10:04.779 --> 00:10:05.740
 throwing us

00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:07.460
 at a school report

00:10:07.460 --> 00:10:08.220
 and this school

00:10:08.220 --> 00:10:08.680
 master

00:10:08.680 --> 00:10:10.019
 standing over us

00:10:10.019 --> 00:10:10.820
 with a big stick

00:10:10.820 --> 00:10:11.399
 to tell us

00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:12.139
 do better,

00:10:12.139 --> 00:10:14.439
 he directs us

00:10:14.439 --> 00:10:15.360
 away from that

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:16.840
 to a new master.

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:18.259
 A master

00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:19.419
 called

00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:20.500
 grace.

00:10:22.319 --> 00:10:23.019
 And he's

00:10:23.019 --> 00:10:23.759
 telling us

00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:24.919
 that we can

00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.299
 live in

00:10:26.299 --> 00:10:27.379
 pure relationship

00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:28.500
 with one another

00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:29.379
 because,

00:10:30.199 --> 00:10:30.919
 verse 11,

00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:32.519
 because

00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:33.939
 the grace

00:10:33.939 --> 00:10:34.659
 of God

00:10:34.659 --> 00:10:35.600
 that brings

00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:36.220
 salvation

00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:37.120
 has appeared

00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:38.519
 to all

00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:39.200
 men.

00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.480
 This grace

00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:41.360
 of God

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:42.120
 is available

00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:43.560
 to all

00:10:43.560 --> 00:10:44.280
 people.

00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:45.180
 That's what the meaning

00:10:45.180 --> 00:10:46.220
 there is to all men,

00:10:46.340 --> 00:10:46.980
 not just

00:10:46.980 --> 00:10:47.800
 men,

00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:49.300
 all kinds

00:10:49.300 --> 00:10:49.900
 of people.

00:10:50.400 --> 00:10:51.080
 It's available

00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:52.440
 to the older men

00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:53.520
 and to the older

00:10:53.520 --> 00:10:53.800
 women.

00:10:53.940 --> 00:10:54.460
 It's available

00:10:54.460 --> 00:10:55.240
 to the younger

00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:56.440
 men and the younger

00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:56.820
 women.

00:10:57.220 --> 00:10:57.840
 There's no

00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:58.780
 discrimination.

00:10:59.400 --> 00:11:00.420
 God's grace

00:11:00.420 --> 00:11:01.280
 flows

00:11:01.280 --> 00:11:01.980
 freely

00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:03.860
 to the desperate

00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:04.820
 and broken

00:11:04.820 --> 00:11:05.460
 people

00:11:05.460 --> 00:11:06.500
 like us.

00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:07.200
 and that's

00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:07.980
 why we set

00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:08.399
 out this

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:08.759
 morning

00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:09.419
 that we

00:11:09.419 --> 00:11:09.899
 come with

00:11:09.899 --> 00:11:10.840
 open hands

00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:11.559
 in our

00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:12.000
 weakness

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.740
 to say,

00:11:14.220 --> 00:11:14.500
 God,

00:11:14.659 --> 00:11:15.200
 fill us

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:15.820
 with your

00:11:15.820 --> 00:11:16.299
 grace.

00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:19.259
 You see,

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:19.720
 what is

00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:20.320
 impossible

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:21.200
 to do

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:22.000
 by trying

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:22.620
 harder

00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:24.360
 now becomes

00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:24.919
 possible

00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:25.679
 by God's

00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:26.120
 grace

00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:27.259
 because

00:11:27.259 --> 00:11:28.100
 God's

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:28.480
 grace

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:29.240
 motivates

00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:29.980
 us to

00:11:29.980 --> 00:11:30.279
 live

00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:31.039
 pure

00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:31.740
 lives

00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:33.620
 so that,

00:11:33.940 --> 00:11:34.679
 look at the

00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:35.000
 end of

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:35.620
 verse 10,

00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:36.879
 so that

00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:37.639
 in every

00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:38.100
 way,

00:11:38.820 --> 00:11:39.179
 we will

00:11:39.179 --> 00:11:39.580
 make the

00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:40.000
 teaching

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:40.679
 about God

00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:40.879
 our

00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:41.399
 Saviour

00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:42.320
 attractive.

00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:43.879
 The only

00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:44.519
 way that

00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:45.080
 Christ

00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:45.899
 will be

00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:46.399
 seen

00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:46.980
 through

00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:47.240
 our

00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:47.799
 lives

00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:49.419
 is

00:11:49.419 --> 00:11:49.659
 when

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:49.860
 the

00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:50.139
 grace

00:11:50.139 --> 00:11:50.360
 of

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:50.740
 God

00:11:50.740 --> 00:11:51.419
 is

00:11:51.419 --> 00:11:51.879
 deeply

00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:52.139
 at

00:11:52.139 --> 00:11:52.480
 work

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:53.299
 in

00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:53.519
 our

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:54.019
 lives.

00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:55.779
 So,

00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:56.019
 we're

00:11:56.019 --> 00:11:56.240
 going to

00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:56.519
 look at

00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:56.779
 three

00:11:56.779 --> 00:11:57.340
 things,

00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:58.100
 three

00:11:58.100 --> 00:11:58.600
 ways

00:11:58.600 --> 00:11:58.799
 in

00:11:58.799 --> 00:11:59.019
 which

00:11:59.019 --> 00:11:59.560
 grace

00:11:59.560 --> 00:12:00.700
 motivates

00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:01.320
 us

00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:02.060
 in

00:12:02.060 --> 00:12:02.220
 our

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:02.680
 lives.

00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:03.360
 This

00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:03.700
 is our

00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:04.259
 motivation.

00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:04.860
 First,

00:12:05.620 --> 00:12:06.440
 we will

00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:06.639
 be

00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:07.220
 motivated

00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:07.560
 by

00:12:07.560 --> 00:12:08.240
 past

00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:09.080
 grace.

00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:10.519
 Verse

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:11.159
 11.

00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:13.600
 For the

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:14.060
 grace of

00:12:14.060 --> 00:12:14.580
 God that

00:12:14.580 --> 00:12:14.940
 brings

00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:15.560
 salvation

00:12:15.560 --> 00:12:16.379
 has

00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:16.879
 appeared

00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:17.740
 to

00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:18.360
 all

00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.019
 people.

00:12:20.259 --> 00:12:20.620
 This

00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:21.100
 grace

00:12:21.100 --> 00:12:21.679
 of God

00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:22.440
 has,

00:12:22.539 --> 00:12:22.960
 he says,

00:12:23.060 --> 00:12:23.740
 already

00:12:23.740 --> 00:12:24.340
 appeared.

00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:24.560
 We're

00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:24.799
 not

00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:25.320
 waiting

00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:26.039
 for it.

00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:27.080
 If we

00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:27.320
 are

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:27.960
 Christians,

00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:28.980
 we have

00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:29.600
 already

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:30.759
 experienced

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.620
 God's

00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:32.120
 grace in

00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:32.580
 our lives.

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:32.840
 So,

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:33.680
 what is

00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:34.200
 that grace?

00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:34.720
 What have

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:34.900
 we

00:12:34.900 --> 00:12:35.700
 experienced?

00:12:36.060 --> 00:12:36.240
 Well,

00:12:36.280 --> 00:12:36.640
 look down

00:12:36.640 --> 00:12:36.980
 at verse

00:12:36.980 --> 00:12:37.580
 14.

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:39.320
 Jesus

00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:39.980
 Christ,

00:12:40.280 --> 00:12:41.120
 who gave

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.460
 himself

00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:42.540
 for us

00:12:42.540 --> 00:12:43.940
 to redeem

00:12:43.940 --> 00:12:44.500
 us from

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:45.620
 all wickedness

00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:46.420
 and to

00:12:46.420 --> 00:12:47.340
 purify for

00:12:47.340 --> 00:12:47.960
 himself a

00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:49.000
 people that

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:49.420
 are his

00:12:49.420 --> 00:12:50.220
 very own,

00:12:50.340 --> 00:12:50.800
 eager to

00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:51.240
 do what

00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:51.780
 is good.

00:12:53.020 --> 00:12:53.500
 Jesus

00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:54.960
 Christ gave

00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:55.640
 his life

00:12:55.640 --> 00:12:56.680
 for us.

00:12:56.920 --> 00:12:57.460
 He died

00:12:57.460 --> 00:12:57.860
 on the

00:12:57.860 --> 00:12:58.640
 cross in

00:12:58.640 --> 00:12:59.460
 our place

00:12:59.460 --> 00:13:00.840
 for us.

00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.120
 but not

00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:03.620
 only just

00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:04.259
 for us,

00:13:04.379 --> 00:13:04.920
 for this

00:13:04.920 --> 00:13:05.500
 double

00:13:05.500 --> 00:13:06.180
 purpose.

00:13:06.379 --> 00:13:06.600
 There's

00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:06.980
 two

00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:07.800
 reasons

00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:08.800
 and we

00:13:08.800 --> 00:13:09.160
 see it

00:13:09.160 --> 00:13:09.540
 in verse

00:13:09.540 --> 00:13:10.300
 14.

00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:10.879
 He died

00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:11.420
 for us

00:13:11.420 --> 00:13:12.480
 first to

00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:13.420
 redeem us

00:13:13.420 --> 00:13:14.259
 from all

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:14.960
 wickedness

00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:16.680
 and second

00:13:16.680 --> 00:13:18.160
 to purify

00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:18.960
 for himself

00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:19.540
 a people

00:13:19.540 --> 00:13:20.240
 that are

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:20.680
 his very

00:13:20.680 --> 00:13:21.160
 own.

00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:22.660
 God's

00:13:22.660 --> 00:13:23.180
 grace

00:13:23.180 --> 00:13:24.320
 has taken

00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.200
 us out

00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.800
 and has

00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:27.680
 rescued us

00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:28.979
 from an

00:13:28.979 --> 00:13:29.779
 impure

00:13:29.779 --> 00:13:31.019
 wicked life

00:13:31.019 --> 00:13:32.059
 and he

00:13:32.059 --> 00:13:32.559
 has brought

00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:33.359
 us in

00:13:33.359 --> 00:13:33.979
 and he

00:13:33.979 --> 00:13:34.399
 has given

00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:35.239
 us to

00:13:35.239 --> 00:13:36.719
 a pure

00:13:36.719 --> 00:13:37.199
 life.

00:13:38.059 --> 00:13:38.459
 We are

00:13:38.459 --> 00:13:39.459
 set free

00:13:39.459 --> 00:13:40.239
 from a

00:13:40.239 --> 00:13:40.839
 life of

00:13:40.839 --> 00:13:41.579
 sinful

00:13:41.579 --> 00:13:42.739
 and broken

00:13:42.739 --> 00:13:43.739
 and damaging

00:13:43.739 --> 00:13:44.620
 relationships

00:13:44.620 --> 00:13:46.199
 to be able

00:13:46.199 --> 00:13:46.899
 to live a

00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:47.919
 life of

00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:49.039
 new and

00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:49.679
 pure

00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:50.899
 relationships

00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:52.339
 because

00:13:52.339 --> 00:13:53.039
 God's

00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:53.479
 grace

00:13:53.479 --> 00:13:54.639
 never comes

00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:55.339
 in half

00:13:55.339 --> 00:13:56.199
 measures.

00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:57.159
 It comes

00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:57.579
 to us

00:13:57.579 --> 00:13:58.139
 in all

00:13:58.139 --> 00:13:58.379
 its

00:13:58.379 --> 00:13:58.819
 fullness

00:13:58.819 --> 00:14:00.019
 redeeming

00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:00.399
 us

00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:01.620
 and

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:02.839
 purifying

00:14:02.839 --> 00:14:03.500
 us.

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:04.719
 God's

00:14:04.719 --> 00:14:05.059
 grace

00:14:05.059 --> 00:14:05.579
 has this

00:14:05.579 --> 00:14:05.980
 double

00:14:05.980 --> 00:14:06.459
 effect

00:14:06.459 --> 00:14:07.179
 on our

00:14:07.179 --> 00:14:07.600
 lives.

00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:08.059
 It

00:14:08.059 --> 00:14:08.879
 liberates

00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:09.100
 us

00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:09.659
 from one

00:14:09.659 --> 00:14:10.039
 kind

00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:10.600
 of life

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:11.299
 a life

00:14:11.299 --> 00:14:12.059
 of slavery

00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:12.799
 to sin

00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:13.679
 under a

00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:14.659
 cruel oppressor

00:14:14.659 --> 00:14:15.059
 Satan

00:14:15.059 --> 00:14:15.679
 himself

00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:17.179
 but more

00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:17.779
 than that

00:14:17.779 --> 00:14:18.259
 he doesn't

00:14:18.259 --> 00:14:19.059
 just liberate

00:14:19.059 --> 00:14:19.399
 us and

00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:19.919
 free us

00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:20.740
 he now

00:14:20.740 --> 00:14:21.519
 cleans

00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:21.779
 us

00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:22.720
 he purifies

00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:23.079
 us

00:14:23.079 --> 00:14:23.759
 for a

00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:24.399
 new kind

00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:24.919
 of life

00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:25.659
 a life

00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:26.399
 of purity

00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:27.360
 where we

00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:28.120
 now belong

00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:28.519
 to a

00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:29.199
 kind

00:14:29.199 --> 00:14:30.039
 and gracious

00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:30.759
 master

00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:31.500
 Jesus

00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:32.079
 Christ.

00:14:33.699 --> 00:14:34.519
 That

00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:35.039
 means

00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:36.600
 because of

00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:37.079
 past

00:14:37.079 --> 00:14:37.620
 grace

00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:38.819
 we now

00:14:38.819 --> 00:14:39.240
 have a

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:39.759
 brand new

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:40.419
 identity.

00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:42.000
 Once we

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:42.740
 were not

00:14:42.740 --> 00:14:43.519
 God's

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:43.959
 people

00:14:43.959 --> 00:14:45.539
 once we

00:14:45.539 --> 00:14:46.079
 could not

00:14:46.079 --> 00:14:47.059
 live as

00:14:47.059 --> 00:14:47.699
 he called

00:14:47.699 --> 00:14:48.159
 us to

00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:48.559
 live

00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:49.860
 but now

00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:50.460
 because we

00:14:50.460 --> 00:14:51.279
 are God's

00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:51.860
 people we

00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:52.259
 are his

00:14:52.259 --> 00:14:53.379
 very own

00:14:53.379 --> 00:14:54.960
 his treasured

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.460
 possession

00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:56.379
 who look at

00:14:56.379 --> 00:14:56.779
 the end of

00:14:56.779 --> 00:14:57.539
 verse 14

00:14:57.539 --> 00:14:59.639
 who are

00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:00.259
 his very

00:15:00.259 --> 00:15:00.820
 own

00:15:00.820 --> 00:15:01.480
 who are

00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:02.399
 eager to

00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:03.519
 do what

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.200
 is good.

00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:05.720
 Our new

00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:06.480
 identity

00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:07.120
 our new

00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:07.500
 life

00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:07.980
 our new

00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:08.539
 position

00:15:08.539 --> 00:15:09.500
 because of

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:10.340
 past grace

00:15:10.340 --> 00:15:11.700
 means we

00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:12.159
 can now

00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:12.820
 begin to

00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:13.600
 live the

00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:14.240
 new life

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:14.740
 that God

00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:15.279
 intends.

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:15.919
 We are

00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:16.559
 eager to

00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:16.980
 do what

00:15:16.980 --> 00:15:17.500
 is good.

00:15:17.500 --> 00:15:21.879
 So let

00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:22.799
 God's

00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:23.480
 past

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.259
 grace

00:15:24.259 --> 00:15:26.039
 inform

00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:27.120
 our

00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:27.860
 minds

00:15:27.860 --> 00:15:28.580
 let it

00:15:28.580 --> 00:15:29.220
 shape

00:15:29.220 --> 00:15:29.759
 our

00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:30.399
 hearts

00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.019
 so that

00:15:32.019 --> 00:15:32.340
 we are

00:15:32.340 --> 00:15:33.120
 motivated

00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:33.860
 to live

00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:35.019
 a life

00:15:35.019 --> 00:15:35.820
 of

00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:36.419
 purity.

00:15:38.179 --> 00:15:39.059
 So that's

00:15:39.059 --> 00:15:39.460
 the first

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:39.840
 step.

00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:40.419
 Be

00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:41.000
 motivated

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:41.799
 by past

00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:42.100
 grace.

00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:42.580
 Second

00:15:42.580 --> 00:15:44.679
 be

00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:45.279
 motivated

00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:46.299
 by present

00:15:46.299 --> 00:15:46.820
 grace.

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:47.240
 Let's

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:47.779
 read verse

00:15:47.779 --> 00:15:48.560
 11 and

00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:48.940
 12.

00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:49.340
 For the

00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:49.779
 grace of

00:15:49.779 --> 00:15:50.220
 God that

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:50.539
 brings

00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:51.159
 salvation

00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:51.820
 has

00:15:51.820 --> 00:15:52.200
 appeared

00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:52.820
 to all

00:15:52.820 --> 00:15:53.340
 kinds

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:53.539
 of

00:15:53.539 --> 00:15:53.919
 people.

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:54.860
 It

00:15:54.860 --> 00:15:55.299
 teaches

00:15:55.299 --> 00:15:55.779
 us to

00:15:55.779 --> 00:15:56.120
 say

00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:56.940
 no

00:15:56.940 --> 00:15:57.879
 to

00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:58.659
 ungodliness

00:15:58.659 --> 00:15:59.080
 and

00:15:59.080 --> 00:15:59.720
 worldly

00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:00.320
 passions

00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:01.539
 and to

00:16:01.539 --> 00:16:01.840
 say

00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:02.460
 yes

00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:03.299
 to

00:16:03.299 --> 00:16:03.759
 live

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:04.960
 self-controlled

00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:05.639
 upright

00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:06.519
 and godly

00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:07.039
 lives

00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:07.779
 in this

00:16:07.779 --> 00:16:08.180
 present

00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:08.700
 age.

00:16:09.419 --> 00:16:10.360
 So grace

00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:10.820
 is not

00:16:10.820 --> 00:16:11.279
 just a

00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:11.620
 past

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:12.340
 experience

00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:13.340
 it is

00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:13.960
 also a

00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:14.500
 present

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:15.500
 reality.

00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:16.639
 His

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:17.419
 grace goes

00:16:17.419 --> 00:16:17.679
 on

00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:18.100
 working

00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:18.620
 in our

00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:19.019
 lives

00:16:19.019 --> 00:16:19.439
 every

00:16:19.439 --> 00:16:19.819
 day

00:16:19.819 --> 00:16:20.699
 teaching

00:16:20.699 --> 00:16:21.199
 us

00:16:21.199 --> 00:16:21.720
 how

00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:21.980
 to

00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:22.419
 live.

00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:23.399
 And

00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:23.639
 there's

00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:23.840
 two

00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:24.259
 things

00:16:24.259 --> 00:16:24.480
 from

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:24.740
 verse

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:25.159
 12.

00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:25.899
 First

00:16:25.899 --> 00:16:26.259
 grace

00:16:26.259 --> 00:16:26.679
 teaches

00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:26.960
 us

00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:27.139
 to

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:27.500
 say

00:16:27.500 --> 00:16:28.460
 no.

00:16:29.199 --> 00:16:29.699
 Let's

00:16:29.699 --> 00:16:29.980
 read

00:16:29.980 --> 00:16:30.419
 verse

00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:30.799
 12

00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:31.039
 the

00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:31.319
 beginning

00:16:31.319 --> 00:16:31.659
 again.

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:31.819
 It

00:16:31.819 --> 00:16:32.139
 teaches

00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:32.399
 us

00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:32.580
 to

00:16:32.580 --> 00:16:32.879
 say

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:33.679
 no

00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:34.360
 to

00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:35.120
 ungodliness

00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:35.960
 and

00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:36.460
 worldly

00:16:36.460 --> 00:16:37.059
 passions.

00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:38.500
 Well

00:16:38.500 --> 00:16:39.039
 how does

00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:39.480
 it teach

00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:39.819
 us to

00:16:39.819 --> 00:16:40.019
 say

00:16:40.019 --> 00:16:40.319
 no?

00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:42.440
 Well

00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:43.300
 as we

00:16:43.300 --> 00:16:44.040
 look to

00:16:44.040 --> 00:16:44.660
 grace

00:16:44.660 --> 00:16:47.540
 God's

00:16:47.540 --> 00:16:48.000
 grace

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:48.820
 reminds

00:16:48.820 --> 00:16:49.240
 us

00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:49.860
 of what

00:16:49.860 --> 00:16:50.080
 we

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:50.620
 once

00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:51.220
 were.

00:16:52.379 --> 00:16:52.800
 The

00:16:52.800 --> 00:16:53.220
 cruel

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:54.120
 oppressor

00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:54.820
 that we

00:16:54.820 --> 00:16:55.260
 once

00:16:55.260 --> 00:16:56.020
 had.

00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:58.379
 By

00:16:58.379 --> 00:16:58.900
 God's

00:16:58.900 --> 00:16:59.260
 grace

00:16:59.260 --> 00:16:59.700
 we have

00:16:59.700 --> 00:17:00.000
 been

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:00.740
 taken

00:17:00.740 --> 00:17:01.440
 out

00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:02.580
 and we

00:17:02.580 --> 00:17:02.940
 have been

00:17:02.940 --> 00:17:03.360
 rescued

00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:04.299
 from this

00:17:04.299 --> 00:17:04.820
 old

00:17:04.820 --> 00:17:05.279
 life

00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:06.660
 a life

00:17:06.660 --> 00:17:07.519
 where we

00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:08.019
 could actually

00:17:08.019 --> 00:17:08.740
 never say

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:09.480
 no.

00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:10.960
 We

00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:11.319
 could only

00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:11.599
 say

00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:12.220
 yes

00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:13.339
 to

00:17:13.339 --> 00:17:14.059
 ungodliness

00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:14.980
 but now

00:17:14.980 --> 00:17:15.380
 we've been

00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:15.779
 given a

00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:16.240
 new life

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:16.620
 where we

00:17:16.620 --> 00:17:16.960
 can now

00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:17.599
 say no

00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:18.160
 to it.

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:19.620
 So

00:17:19.620 --> 00:17:20.460
 why

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:21.160
 would we

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:21.640
 ever want

00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:22.120
 to step

00:17:22.120 --> 00:17:22.700
 back

00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:23.660
 into that

00:17:23.660 --> 00:17:24.359
 old life

00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:24.700
 again?

00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.059
 It's like

00:17:27.059 --> 00:17:27.759
 those three

00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:28.099
 women,

00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:28.579
 I'm sure

00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:29.039
 you've seen

00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:29.480
 it on the

00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:29.859
 news,

00:17:30.339 --> 00:17:30.640
 who were

00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:31.000
 just

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:31.599
 rescued

00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:32.420
 from

00:17:32.420 --> 00:17:33.460
 ten years

00:17:33.460 --> 00:17:34.720
 of brutal

00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:35.480
 captivity.

00:17:37.539 --> 00:17:38.480
 Locked up

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:39.319
 chained.

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:41.480
 It would

00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:42.660
 be unthinkable

00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:43.319
 for any

00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:43.860
 one of

00:17:43.860 --> 00:17:44.620
 them to

00:17:44.620 --> 00:17:45.500
 want to

00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:46.259
 go back

00:17:46.259 --> 00:17:46.940
 to a

00:17:46.940 --> 00:17:47.440
 life of

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:48.039
 absolute

00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:48.539
 misery,

00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:49.259
 to go

00:17:49.259 --> 00:17:49.819
 back to

00:17:49.819 --> 00:17:50.079
 their

00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:51.039
 old

00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:51.940
 master.

00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:53.579
 In the

00:17:53.579 --> 00:17:54.019
 words of

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:54.319
 one of

00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:54.819
 the ladies

00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:55.279
 Amanda

00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:55.720
 Berry

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:56.360
 as she

00:17:56.360 --> 00:17:57.019
 came out

00:17:57.019 --> 00:17:57.880
 her words

00:17:57.880 --> 00:17:58.140
 were

00:17:58.140 --> 00:17:58.960
 I'm

00:17:58.960 --> 00:17:59.620
 free

00:17:59.620 --> 00:18:00.140
 now.

00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:02.460
 Why

00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:02.839
 would you

00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:03.339
 ever want

00:18:03.339 --> 00:18:03.860
 to step

00:18:03.860 --> 00:18:04.460
 back

00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:05.579
 into the

00:18:05.579 --> 00:18:06.000
 old

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:06.519
 life?

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:07.240
 Why

00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:08.079
 would we

00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:08.980
 ever want

00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:09.339
 to go

00:18:09.339 --> 00:18:09.839
 back

00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:10.379
 having

00:18:10.379 --> 00:18:10.700
 been

00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:11.379
 set

00:18:11.379 --> 00:18:12.000
 free

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:12.519
 from

00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:12.700
 an

00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:13.039
 old

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:13.440
 life?

00:18:13.579 --> 00:18:13.920
 It's

00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:14.779
 unthinkable.

00:18:16.660 --> 00:18:17.000
 You see,

00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:17.500
 the more

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:18.759
 we understand

00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:19.639
 and appreciate

00:18:19.639 --> 00:18:20.680
 this grace,

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:21.579
 the more

00:18:21.579 --> 00:18:22.019
 that we

00:18:22.019 --> 00:18:22.900
 drink

00:18:22.900 --> 00:18:23.599
 God's

00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:23.900
 grace

00:18:23.900 --> 00:18:24.460
 into our

00:18:24.460 --> 00:18:24.940
 lives,

00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:25.920
 the more

00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:26.660
 it teaches

00:18:26.660 --> 00:18:27.099
 us to

00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:27.400
 say

00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:28.299
 no

00:18:28.299 --> 00:18:29.660
 to all

00:18:29.660 --> 00:18:30.039
 kinds

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.720
 of ungodly

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:31.220
 behaviour.

00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:31.940
 Why

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:32.319
 would we

00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:32.599
 want to

00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:32.740
 go

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:33.000
 back

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:33.319
 there?

00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:37.659
 So first

00:18:37.659 --> 00:18:38.179
 it teaches

00:18:38.179 --> 00:18:38.579
 us to

00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:39.119
 say no.

00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:39.679
 Second,

00:18:39.879 --> 00:18:40.179
 grace

00:18:40.179 --> 00:18:41.039
 also

00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:41.559
 teaches

00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:42.119
 us to

00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:43.179
 say yes.

00:18:43.459 --> 00:18:43.759
 Look at

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:44.079
 the rest

00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:44.399
 of verse

00:18:44.399 --> 00:18:44.899
 12.

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:46.519
 No

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:46.740
 to

00:18:46.740 --> 00:18:47.379
 ungodliness

00:18:47.379 --> 00:18:48.240
 and yes

00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:49.899
 to live

00:18:49.899 --> 00:18:51.199
 self-controlled

00:18:51.199 --> 00:18:51.879
 upright

00:18:51.879 --> 00:18:52.859
 and godly

00:18:52.859 --> 00:18:53.379
 lives

00:18:53.379 --> 00:18:53.799
 in this

00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:54.179
 present

00:18:54.179 --> 00:18:54.699
 age.

00:18:56.419 --> 00:18:57.019
 Again,

00:18:57.219 --> 00:18:57.740
 grace is

00:18:57.740 --> 00:18:58.219
 there to

00:18:58.219 --> 00:18:59.259
 remind us

00:18:59.259 --> 00:19:00.139
 of who

00:19:00.140 --> 00:19:00.660
 we are

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:01.480
 now.

00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:03.320
 That we

00:19:03.320 --> 00:19:04.380
 now belong

00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:05.120
 to God.

00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:05.980
 That we

00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:06.580
 have now

00:19:06.580 --> 00:19:07.120
 been given

00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:07.640
 a new

00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:08.240
 life of

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:08.860
 purity.

00:19:09.460 --> 00:19:09.880
 We are

00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:10.800
 now treated

00:19:10.800 --> 00:19:12.040
 as God's

00:19:12.040 --> 00:19:12.300
 son,

00:19:12.580 --> 00:19:13.380
 as if we

00:19:13.380 --> 00:19:14.400
 are pure.

00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:16.360
 By God's

00:19:16.360 --> 00:19:16.860
 grace he

00:19:16.860 --> 00:19:17.300
 has brought

00:19:17.300 --> 00:19:18.200
 us into

00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:18.620
 a new

00:19:18.620 --> 00:19:18.900
 life.

00:19:19.180 --> 00:19:19.480
 He has

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:20.060
 given us

00:19:20.060 --> 00:19:21.200
 into a

00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:21.820
 new life

00:19:21.820 --> 00:19:22.660
 so now

00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:23.280
 we can

00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:24.200
 say yes.

00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:26.940
 So why

00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:27.320
 would we

00:19:27.320 --> 00:19:28.040
 not want

00:19:28.040 --> 00:19:28.580
 to live

00:19:28.580 --> 00:19:29.340
 in this

00:19:29.340 --> 00:19:29.940
 new

00:19:29.940 --> 00:19:30.840
 wonderful

00:19:30.840 --> 00:19:31.480
 life that

00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:31.759
 we have

00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.259
 been given?

00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:34.259
 Again,

00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:35.019
 to illustrate

00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:36.740
 as we have

00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:37.299
 watched all

00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:37.880
 those news

00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:38.640
 reports and

00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:39.279
 listened to

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:40.059
 those ladies

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:40.600
 as they have

00:19:40.600 --> 00:19:41.059
 given their

00:19:41.059 --> 00:19:41.640
 story,

00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:42.980
 the scenes

00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:43.340
 that we

00:19:43.340 --> 00:19:43.779
 saw on

00:19:43.779 --> 00:19:44.460
 the television

00:19:44.460 --> 00:19:45.240
 as they

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:45.840
 came to

00:19:45.840 --> 00:19:46.500
 their family

00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:47.440
 embracing

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:48.080
 their loved

00:19:48.080 --> 00:19:48.480
 ones that

00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:48.940
 they hadn't

00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:49.480
 seen for

00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:50.320
 years.

00:19:51.779 --> 00:19:52.820
 The sense

00:19:52.820 --> 00:19:53.640
 of going

00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:54.340
 home,

00:19:54.700 --> 00:19:55.500
 the security

00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:56.279
 and the

00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:56.700
 peace,

00:19:57.080 --> 00:19:57.620
 knowing that

00:19:57.620 --> 00:19:57.940
 they will

00:19:57.940 --> 00:19:58.620
 never have

00:19:58.620 --> 00:19:59.440
 to go back

00:19:59.440 --> 00:19:59.860
 to that

00:19:59.860 --> 00:20:00.799
 old house

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:01.480
 again,

00:20:01.700 --> 00:20:02.299
 no longer

00:20:02.299 --> 00:20:02.900
 living in

00:20:02.900 --> 00:20:03.580
 those filthy,

00:20:03.940 --> 00:20:04.240
 dirty,

00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:04.740
 rotten

00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:05.440
 conditions.

00:20:07.120 --> 00:20:07.900
 It would

00:20:07.900 --> 00:20:09.019
 be unthinkable

00:20:09.019 --> 00:20:09.559
 for any

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:10.000
 one of

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:10.640
 those ladies

00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.580
 to leave

00:20:11.580 --> 00:20:12.279
 their home

00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:12.920
 and family

00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:13.799
 to go in

00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:14.380
 search of

00:20:14.380 --> 00:20:14.799
 something

00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:15.299
 better.

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:18.480
 So why

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:19.279
 would we

00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:20.220
 ever want

00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:20.880
 to live,

00:20:21.180 --> 00:20:21.840
 leave this

00:20:21.840 --> 00:20:22.840
 new life,

00:20:23.140 --> 00:20:23.680
 this new

00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:24.980
 purity that

00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:25.640
 Christ has

00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:26.059
 given us?

00:20:26.180 --> 00:20:27.059
 It's unthinkable.

00:20:27.059 --> 00:20:27.700
 Why would

00:20:27.700 --> 00:20:28.119
 we want

00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:28.440
 to do

00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:28.720
 it?

00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:31.599
 You see,

00:20:31.679 --> 00:20:32.139
 the more

00:20:32.139 --> 00:20:33.299
 we understand

00:20:33.299 --> 00:20:34.099
 and appreciate

00:20:34.099 --> 00:20:35.059
 this grace

00:20:35.059 --> 00:20:35.839
 of being

00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:36.779
 set free

00:20:36.779 --> 00:20:37.579
 and given

00:20:37.579 --> 00:20:38.259
 a new

00:20:38.259 --> 00:20:38.859
 purity,

00:20:39.059 --> 00:20:39.399
 a new

00:20:39.399 --> 00:20:39.919
 kind of

00:20:39.919 --> 00:20:40.240
 life,

00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:41.099
 the more

00:20:41.099 --> 00:20:41.519
 that we

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.220
 grasp it,

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:42.559
 the more

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.220
 we read

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:43.460
 of it,

00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:43.819
 the more

00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:44.399
 we think

00:20:44.399 --> 00:20:44.879
 about it

00:20:44.879 --> 00:20:45.579
 and discuss

00:20:45.579 --> 00:20:45.799
 it,

00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:46.379
 the more

00:20:46.379 --> 00:20:46.859
 we take

00:20:46.859 --> 00:20:47.200
 it into

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.059
 our lives,

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:50.299
 the more

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:50.599
 it will

00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:51.220
 teach us

00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:51.659
 to say

00:20:51.659 --> 00:20:52.359
 yes

00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:53.879
 to all

00:20:53.879 --> 00:20:54.879
 kinds of

00:20:54.879 --> 00:20:55.359
 godly

00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:55.960
 behaviour.

00:20:57.059 --> 00:20:57.839
 And living

00:20:57.839 --> 00:20:58.319
 rightly

00:20:58.319 --> 00:20:58.819
 with one

00:20:58.819 --> 00:20:59.159
 another.

00:21:01.619 --> 00:21:02.619
 This means

00:21:02.619 --> 00:21:04.059
 that

00:21:04.059 --> 00:21:05.179
 transformation,

00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:06.659
 this ongoing

00:21:06.659 --> 00:21:07.559
 change in

00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:08.079
 our lives

00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:08.740
 is a daily

00:21:08.740 --> 00:21:09.619
 reality by

00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:10.480
 God's grace.

00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:11.619
 Grace is

00:21:11.619 --> 00:21:12.500
 there as

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:13.359
 a kind

00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:14.299
 master

00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:15.720
 teaching us

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:17.119
 because we're

00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:18.000
 still learning

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:18.519
 to say

00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:19.720
 no and

00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:19.980
 yes.

00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:20.740
 Sometimes we

00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:22.639
 say yes

00:21:22.639 --> 00:21:23.059
 when we

00:21:23.059 --> 00:21:23.599
 oughtn't to

00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:24.099
 and sometimes

00:21:24.099 --> 00:21:24.859
 we say no

00:21:24.859 --> 00:21:25.240
 when we

00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:25.839
 oughtn't to

00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:26.839
 change.

00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:27.279
 Because we're

00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:27.740
 not there

00:21:27.740 --> 00:21:28.279
 yet.

00:21:29.159 --> 00:21:29.740
 There is a

00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:30.339
 progression

00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:31.279
 in our

00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:31.759
 life.

00:21:32.679 --> 00:21:33.399
 But we

00:21:33.399 --> 00:21:34.039
 still see

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.779
 evidence of

00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:35.419
 change.

00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:36.779
 And God

00:21:36.779 --> 00:21:37.099
 in his

00:21:37.099 --> 00:21:37.759
 goodness is

00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:38.480
 working that

00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:39.099
 out in us

00:21:39.099 --> 00:21:39.619
 day by

00:21:39.619 --> 00:21:40.779
 day by

00:21:40.779 --> 00:21:41.579
 his grace.

00:21:44.419 --> 00:21:45.019
 We

00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:45.740
 started with

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.480
 a song this

00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:46.859
 morning,

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.359
 Amazing

00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:47.839
 Grace,

00:21:47.959 --> 00:21:48.459
 How Sweet

00:21:48.459 --> 00:21:49.000
 the Sound.

00:21:50.199 --> 00:21:50.519
 John

00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:50.859
 Newton,

00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:51.500
 the author

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:52.039
 of that,

00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:53.819
 grasped

00:21:53.819 --> 00:21:54.779
 what it

00:21:54.779 --> 00:21:55.279
 was to

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:55.940
 have grace

00:21:55.940 --> 00:21:56.400
 at work

00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:56.680
 in his

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:56.940
 life.

00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:57.359
 Here's a

00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:57.700
 quote.

00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:58.619
 Maybe

00:21:58.619 --> 00:21:59.000
 somebody

00:21:59.000 --> 00:21:59.599
 could write

00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:00.440
 another

00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:00.980
 verse to

00:22:00.980 --> 00:22:01.440
 the song

00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:02.039
 from this

00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:02.299
 quote.

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:02.660
 This is

00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:02.940
 what he

00:22:02.940 --> 00:22:03.319
 says,

00:22:03.500 --> 00:22:04.339
 I am

00:22:04.339 --> 00:22:05.460
 not what

00:22:05.460 --> 00:22:05.880
 I ought

00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:06.480
 to be.

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.160
 I am

00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:09.440
 not what

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:10.079
 I want

00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:10.740
 to be.

00:22:11.700 --> 00:22:12.279
 I am

00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:12.880
 not what

00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:13.380
 I hope

00:22:13.380 --> 00:22:13.880
 to be

00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:14.720
 in another

00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:15.259
 world.

00:22:16.259 --> 00:22:17.339
 But still,

00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:18.339
 I am

00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:19.359
 not what

00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:19.939
 I once

00:22:19.939 --> 00:22:20.779
 used to

00:22:20.779 --> 00:22:21.079
 be.

00:22:22.199 --> 00:22:22.659
 And by

00:22:22.659 --> 00:22:23.159
 the grace

00:22:23.159 --> 00:22:23.719
 of God,

00:22:24.199 --> 00:22:24.939
 I am

00:22:24.939 --> 00:22:25.799
 what I

00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:26.119
 am.

00:22:28.659 --> 00:22:29.259
 Okay,

00:22:29.419 --> 00:22:29.859
 we're not

00:22:29.859 --> 00:22:30.559
 there yet,

00:22:31.339 --> 00:22:31.979
 but we're

00:22:31.979 --> 00:22:32.539
 not what

00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:33.059
 we used

00:22:33.059 --> 00:22:33.539
 to be.

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:34.979
 God,

00:22:35.139 --> 00:22:35.539
 by his

00:22:35.539 --> 00:22:36.079
 grace,

00:22:36.459 --> 00:22:36.899
 is at

00:22:36.899 --> 00:22:37.699
 work in

00:22:37.699 --> 00:22:38.359
 our lives,

00:22:38.699 --> 00:22:39.339
 teaching us

00:22:39.339 --> 00:22:39.779
 to say

00:22:39.779 --> 00:22:41.099
 no and

00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:41.779
 teaching us

00:22:41.779 --> 00:22:42.199
 to say

00:22:42.199 --> 00:22:42.719
 yes.

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:44.179
 So let

00:22:44.179 --> 00:22:44.979
 God's

00:22:44.979 --> 00:22:45.819
 present

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:46.599
 grace,

00:22:46.899 --> 00:22:47.359
 may it

00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:47.659
 be a

00:22:47.659 --> 00:22:48.399
 reality in

00:22:48.399 --> 00:22:48.799
 your life,

00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:49.319
 just as

00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:49.740
 much as

00:22:49.740 --> 00:22:50.240
 you eat

00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:51.279
 food and

00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:52.259
 drink every

00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:52.960
 single day

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:53.460
 to keep

00:22:53.460 --> 00:22:53.879
 alive.

00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:55.119
 Drink in

00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:56.000
 and eat

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.819
 in the

00:22:56.819 --> 00:22:57.339
 wonderful

00:22:57.339 --> 00:22:58.000
 grace of

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.379
 God.

00:22:58.659 --> 00:22:59.000
 Let it

00:22:59.000 --> 00:22:59.940
 inform your

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:00.500
 mind,

00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:01.119
 let it

00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:01.839
 shape our

00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:02.399
 hearts,

00:23:02.899 --> 00:23:03.659
 so that

00:23:03.659 --> 00:23:03.980
 we are

00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:05.279
 motivated to

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:05.720
 live a

00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:07.039
 life of

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.619
 purity.

00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:10.220
 So past

00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:10.779
 grace,

00:23:11.399 --> 00:23:11.779
 present

00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:12.339
 grace,

00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:15.720
 guess,

00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:17.700
 future

00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:18.259
 grace,

00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:19.759
 grace.

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.319
 Verse 13.

00:23:22.619 --> 00:23:23.799
 We say

00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:24.680
 no and

00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:25.220
 yes,

00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:26.299
 verse 13,

00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:27.099
 while we

00:23:27.099 --> 00:23:28.500
 wait for

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:29.059
 the blessed

00:23:29.059 --> 00:23:29.619
 hope,

00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:31.359
 the glorious

00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:32.919
 appearing of

00:23:32.919 --> 00:23:33.559
 our great

00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:34.119
 God and

00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:34.659
 Saviour,

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.200
 Jesus Christ.

00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:38.559
 As we

00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:39.119
 look back

00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:39.779
 to past

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:40.240
 grace,

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.419
 as we

00:23:41.419 --> 00:23:42.500
 live in

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:43.059
 present

00:23:43.059 --> 00:23:43.579
 grace,

00:23:44.339 --> 00:23:44.960
 so we're

00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:45.919
 also waiting

00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:47.160
 for future

00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:47.700
 grace.

00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:49.400
 On that

00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:50.039
 day we are

00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:51.140
 told there's

00:23:51.140 --> 00:23:51.740
 going to be

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:52.660
 a glorious

00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:54.200
 appearing of

00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:54.840
 the risen

00:23:54.840 --> 00:23:55.500
 Christ.

00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:57.420
 Just as

00:23:57.420 --> 00:23:58.300
 Jesus came

00:23:58.300 --> 00:23:59.019
 once,

00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:01.400
 so Jesus

00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:02.420
 is going to

00:24:02.420 --> 00:24:03.380
 come again.

00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:05.340
 And look

00:24:05.340 --> 00:24:05.759
 how this

00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:06.560
 appearing is

00:24:06.560 --> 00:24:07.500
 described in

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:08.320
 verse 13.

00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:11.200
 we wait

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:12.179
 for the

00:24:12.179 --> 00:24:12.759
 blessed

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:13.339
 hope,

00:24:14.619 --> 00:24:14.859
 the

00:24:14.859 --> 00:24:15.720
 glorious

00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:17.000
 appearing.

00:24:17.899 --> 00:24:18.539
 What is

00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:18.879
 this

00:24:18.879 --> 00:24:19.480
 blessed

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:19.839
 hope?

00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:20.299
 What is

00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:20.559
 the

00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:21.319
 glorious

00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:21.720
 appearing?

00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:22.399
 Why is

00:24:22.399 --> 00:24:22.799
 it so

00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:23.399
 glorious

00:24:23.399 --> 00:24:24.480
 when Jesus

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:25.000
 Christ

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:25.439
 comes

00:24:25.439 --> 00:24:25.799
 again?

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:26.439
 Well,

00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:26.659
 we're

00:24:26.659 --> 00:24:27.179
 kind of

00:24:27.179 --> 00:24:27.539
 given a

00:24:27.539 --> 00:24:27.899
 hint of

00:24:27.899 --> 00:24:28.279
 that in

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:28.919
 chapter 3

00:24:28.919 --> 00:24:29.599
 verse 7.

00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.939
 so that

00:24:32.939 --> 00:24:33.559
 having been

00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:34.199
 justified

00:24:34.199 --> 00:24:35.039
 by his

00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:35.539
 grace,

00:24:36.339 --> 00:24:37.039
 we might

00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:37.599
 become

00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:38.419
 heirs

00:24:38.419 --> 00:24:39.500
 having the

00:24:39.500 --> 00:24:39.939
 hope

00:24:39.939 --> 00:24:41.519
 of eternal

00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:42.179
 life.

00:24:43.219 --> 00:24:44.000
 When

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:44.439
 Christ

00:24:44.439 --> 00:24:44.879
 comes

00:24:44.879 --> 00:24:45.299
 again,

00:24:45.619 --> 00:24:46.219
 we will

00:24:46.219 --> 00:24:47.279
 enter into

00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:48.699
 that eternal

00:24:48.699 --> 00:24:49.359
 life.

00:24:50.199 --> 00:24:50.599
 And that

00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:51.319
 is true.

00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:53.299
 But there

00:24:53.299 --> 00:24:54.119
 is something

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:55.359
 bigger and

00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:56.119
 something more

00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:57.539
 glorious than

00:24:57.539 --> 00:24:58.139
 just thinking

00:24:58.139 --> 00:24:58.659
 I'm going to

00:24:58.659 --> 00:24:59.319
 live forever.

00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:00.899
 It's much

00:25:00.899 --> 00:25:01.579
 more than

00:25:01.579 --> 00:25:02.039
 that.

00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:03.579
 When

00:25:03.579 --> 00:25:04.159
 Christ

00:25:04.159 --> 00:25:04.699
 comes

00:25:04.699 --> 00:25:05.119
 again,

00:25:05.399 --> 00:25:05.839
 he will

00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:06.419
 take his

00:25:06.419 --> 00:25:07.019
 people to

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:07.399
 be with

00:25:07.399 --> 00:25:08.099
 him forever.

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:09.019
 And what

00:25:09.019 --> 00:25:09.319
 it will

00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:09.759
 mean is

00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:10.000
 this,

00:25:10.059 --> 00:25:10.319
 it will

00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:10.899
 mean a

00:25:10.899 --> 00:25:11.659
 life of

00:25:11.659 --> 00:25:12.419
 absolute

00:25:12.419 --> 00:25:13.179
 purity.

00:25:14.199 --> 00:25:14.619
 A

00:25:14.619 --> 00:25:15.459
 life where

00:25:15.459 --> 00:25:16.079
 his people

00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:16.480
 will be

00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:17.199
 free from

00:25:17.199 --> 00:25:17.839
 the struggle

00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:18.559
 of sin

00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:19.319
 forever.

00:25:20.159 --> 00:25:20.539
 A

00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:21.059
 life where

00:25:21.059 --> 00:25:21.740
 we never

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:22.480
 ever have

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:23.000
 to confess

00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:23.939
 sin or

00:25:23.939 --> 00:25:24.459
 ever have

00:25:24.459 --> 00:25:25.039
 to ask

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:25.740
 for forgiveness

00:25:25.740 --> 00:25:26.299
 again.

00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:27.339
 A

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:27.799
 life where

00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:28.359
 we're never

00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:28.859
 going to

00:25:28.859 --> 00:25:29.740
 experience

00:25:29.740 --> 00:25:30.859
 guilt and

00:25:30.859 --> 00:25:31.459
 shame.

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:32.539
 A life

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:32.939
 where we

00:25:32.939 --> 00:25:33.559
 never give

00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:33.879
 in to

00:25:33.879 --> 00:25:34.619
 temptation.

00:25:35.479 --> 00:25:35.919
 A life

00:25:35.919 --> 00:25:36.439
 where our

00:25:36.439 --> 00:25:37.159
 relationships

00:25:37.159 --> 00:25:37.839
 with one

00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:38.779
 another are

00:25:38.779 --> 00:25:39.699
 absolutely

00:25:39.699 --> 00:25:40.439
 pure.

00:25:41.819 --> 00:25:42.500
 A life

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:43.240
 where older

00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:44.059
 men and

00:25:44.059 --> 00:25:44.919
 women and

00:25:44.919 --> 00:25:45.919
 younger men

00:25:45.919 --> 00:25:46.559
 and women

00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:47.659
 become pure

00:25:47.659 --> 00:25:48.839
 like Christ.

00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.439
 In fact,

00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:51.059
 what we can

00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:51.639
 say with

00:25:51.639 --> 00:25:52.240
 absolute

00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:53.599
 certainty is

00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:53.979
 that when

00:25:53.979 --> 00:25:54.859
 Christ comes

00:25:54.859 --> 00:25:55.339
 again when

00:25:55.339 --> 00:25:55.839
 we see

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:56.399
 Christ,

00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:58.379
 we are

00:25:58.379 --> 00:25:58.879
 going to

00:25:58.879 --> 00:25:59.599
 be like

00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:00.459
 him,

00:26:01.479 --> 00:26:02.079
 without

00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:02.599
 sin,

00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:03.939
 without

00:26:03.939 --> 00:26:04.679
 struggles,

00:26:05.439 --> 00:26:05.699
 without

00:26:05.699 --> 00:26:06.379
 difficulties.

00:26:07.579 --> 00:26:09.259
 That is

00:26:09.259 --> 00:26:09.819
 some

00:26:09.819 --> 00:26:10.839
 blessing.

00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:12.319
 That is

00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:12.879
 glorious.

00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:13.679
 That is

00:26:13.679 --> 00:26:14.240
 what we are

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:15.019
 waiting for.

00:26:15.259 --> 00:26:15.559
 This is

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:15.959
 what we

00:26:15.959 --> 00:26:16.679
 long for,

00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:17.339
 God's

00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:18.099
 future

00:26:18.099 --> 00:26:18.659
 grace.

00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:19.779
 This is

00:26:19.779 --> 00:26:20.099
 what it

00:26:20.099 --> 00:26:20.539
 will be.

00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:23.799
 so that

00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:24.379
 means that

00:26:24.379 --> 00:26:24.960
 one day

00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:26.379
 our

00:26:26.379 --> 00:26:27.079
 purity

00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:28.639
 is one

00:26:28.639 --> 00:26:29.099
 day going

00:26:29.099 --> 00:26:29.519
 to be

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:30.119
 completed.

00:26:31.399 --> 00:26:32.240
 What God

00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:32.879
 has started

00:26:32.879 --> 00:26:33.259
 in the

00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:33.740
 past,

00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:35.059
 what he

00:26:35.059 --> 00:26:35.619
 is doing

00:26:35.619 --> 00:26:36.019
 in our

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:36.440
 lives

00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:37.259
 right now

00:26:37.259 --> 00:26:38.539
 will be

00:26:38.539 --> 00:26:39.019
 finished,

00:26:39.379 --> 00:26:39.920
 will be

00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:40.440
 completed.

00:26:41.139 --> 00:26:41.599
 This is

00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:41.980
 what we

00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:42.440
 have to

00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:42.960
 look forward

00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:43.220
 to.

00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:44.420
 This is

00:26:44.420 --> 00:26:44.920
 what we

00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:45.480
 have been

00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:46.039
 promised.

00:26:47.700 --> 00:26:48.399
 We are

00:26:48.399 --> 00:26:48.859
 not there

00:26:48.859 --> 00:26:49.299
 yet.

00:26:49.879 --> 00:26:50.319
 We are

00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:50.720
 still

00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:51.099
 living,

00:26:51.179 --> 00:26:51.419
 look at

00:26:51.419 --> 00:26:51.700
 the end

00:26:51.700 --> 00:26:52.019
 of verse

00:26:52.019 --> 00:26:52.519
 12,

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:53.619
 in this

00:26:53.619 --> 00:26:54.159
 present

00:26:54.159 --> 00:26:54.700
 age,

00:26:54.859 --> 00:26:55.359
 in this

00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:55.839
 present

00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:56.439
 time.

00:26:57.879 --> 00:26:58.599
 But we

00:26:58.599 --> 00:26:59.059
 are waiting

00:26:59.059 --> 00:26:59.879
 for grace

00:26:59.879 --> 00:27:01.299
 to bring

00:27:01.299 --> 00:27:01.639
 it all

00:27:01.639 --> 00:27:02.379
 to completion.

00:27:03.939 --> 00:27:04.740
 So let

00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:05.179
 God's

00:27:05.179 --> 00:27:05.679
 future

00:27:05.679 --> 00:27:06.240
 grace

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:07.700
 inform

00:27:07.700 --> 00:27:08.599
 your mind

00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:09.200
 and shape

00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:09.839
 your heart.

00:27:10.919 --> 00:27:11.339
 Let him

00:27:11.339 --> 00:27:12.019
 tell you

00:27:12.019 --> 00:27:12.779
 and remind

00:27:12.779 --> 00:27:13.839
 you that

00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:14.399
 one day

00:27:14.399 --> 00:27:14.740
 you will

00:27:14.740 --> 00:27:15.240
 be like

00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:15.740
 Christ,

00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:16.679
 that it's

00:27:16.679 --> 00:27:17.419
 worth all

00:27:17.419 --> 00:27:18.039
 the struggles,

00:27:18.259 --> 00:27:18.799
 it's worth

00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:19.240
 all the

00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:19.679
 battles,

00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:20.539
 and he

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:21.080
 will equip

00:27:21.080 --> 00:27:21.400
 you and

00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:21.799
 enable

00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:22.120
 you.

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:22.840
 Let it

00:27:22.840 --> 00:27:23.560
 shape your

00:27:23.560 --> 00:27:25.220
 heart so

00:27:25.220 --> 00:27:25.539
 that we

00:27:25.539 --> 00:27:26.340
 are motivated

00:27:26.340 --> 00:27:26.960
 to live a

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:28.120
 life of

00:27:28.120 --> 00:27:28.620
 purity.

00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:32.240
 You see,

00:27:32.340 --> 00:27:32.620
 what we're

00:27:32.620 --> 00:27:33.200
 saying is

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:33.560
 this,

00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:35.000
 is that our

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:36.100
 only motive,

00:27:36.940 --> 00:27:37.940
 the only

00:27:37.940 --> 00:27:39.080
 motive for

00:27:39.080 --> 00:27:39.700
 the Christian

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:41.580
 is pure

00:27:41.580 --> 00:27:42.680
 grace.

00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:42.799
 grace.

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:44.560
 We don't

00:27:44.560 --> 00:27:45.060
 need the

00:27:45.060 --> 00:27:45.740
 old school

00:27:45.740 --> 00:27:46.660
 report that

00:27:46.660 --> 00:27:47.779
 says try

00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:48.320
 harder.

00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:49.160
 We don't

00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:49.620
 need the

00:27:49.620 --> 00:27:50.220
 old school

00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:51.240
 master standing

00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:51.860
 over us with

00:27:51.860 --> 00:27:52.340
 a stick,

00:27:52.460 --> 00:27:53.080
 tapping it on

00:27:53.080 --> 00:27:53.480
 the desk.

00:27:53.779 --> 00:27:54.720
 You must do

00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:55.180
 better.

00:27:55.580 --> 00:27:56.220
 You mustn't

00:27:56.220 --> 00:27:56.980
 behave like

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:57.360
 this.

00:27:57.640 --> 00:27:58.100
 You must

00:27:58.100 --> 00:27:58.900
 behave like

00:27:58.900 --> 00:27:59.299
 this.

00:28:00.320 --> 00:28:01.200
 We need a

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:01.920
 new kind of

00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:02.220
 motive.

00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:03.539
 We need

00:28:03.539 --> 00:28:04.480
 pure grace.

00:28:05.340 --> 00:28:05.720
 Look at

00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:06.440
 verse 15.

00:28:07.180 --> 00:28:08.160
 These then are

00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:09.060
 the things that

00:28:09.060 --> 00:28:09.759
 you should

00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:10.460
 teach.

00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:12.360
 encourage and

00:28:12.360 --> 00:28:12.980
 rebuke with

00:28:12.980 --> 00:28:13.740
 all authority.

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:14.920
 Do not let

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:16.900
 anyone despise

00:28:16.900 --> 00:28:17.220
 you.

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:18.880
 If we are

00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:19.460
 going to be

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:20.019
 the pure

00:28:20.019 --> 00:28:20.640
 church that

00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:21.279
 God calls

00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:21.720
 us to be,

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:22.319
 if we're

00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:22.779
 going to

00:28:22.779 --> 00:28:23.900
 grow as

00:28:23.900 --> 00:28:24.480
 we are,

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:25.279
 then let

00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:26.019
 the grace

00:28:26.019 --> 00:28:26.500
 of God,

00:28:26.579 --> 00:28:27.180
 the pure

00:28:27.180 --> 00:28:27.600
 grace,

00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:28.299
 teach us

00:28:28.299 --> 00:28:28.860
 day after

00:28:28.860 --> 00:28:29.259
 day.

00:28:29.980 --> 00:28:30.559
 Encourage

00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:31.259
 one another

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:32.620
 by teaching

00:28:32.620 --> 00:28:33.640
 God's past,

00:28:33.860 --> 00:28:34.360
 present and

00:28:34.360 --> 00:28:35.319
 future grace.

00:28:36.579 --> 00:28:36.940
 But of

00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:37.380
 course, as

00:28:37.380 --> 00:28:38.039
 verse 15

00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:38.480
 says,

00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:39.460
 there will be

00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:40.180
 times to

00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:40.900
 rebuke.

00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:43.120
 Because we

00:28:43.120 --> 00:28:43.660
 are those

00:28:43.660 --> 00:28:44.740
 who often

00:28:44.740 --> 00:28:45.360
 turn their

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:46.000
 back on

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:46.460
 grace.

00:28:47.340 --> 00:28:48.000
 As we

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:48.740
 sang earlier,

00:28:49.320 --> 00:28:50.000
 we are

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:50.940
 often prone

00:28:50.940 --> 00:28:51.779
 to wander,

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:52.680
 to turn

00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:53.279
 away.

00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:56.180
 But we

00:28:56.180 --> 00:28:57.140
 need to

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:57.700
 keep coming

00:28:57.700 --> 00:28:58.259
 back to

00:28:58.259 --> 00:28:58.720
 the grace

00:28:58.720 --> 00:28:59.259
 of God.

00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:01.440
 Together,

00:29:02.080 --> 00:29:02.779
 we need

00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:03.700
 pure motives.

00:29:04.420 --> 00:29:04.840
 We need

00:29:04.840 --> 00:29:05.160
 to be

00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:05.799
 motivated

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:07.340
 by pure

00:29:07.340 --> 00:29:08.200
 grace.

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:09.720
 let's

00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:10.039
 pray

00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:10.759
 together.

00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:11.200
 Let's

00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:11.259
 pray together.

00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:28.759
 Father, we

00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:29.160
 want to

00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:29.600
 thank you

00:29:29.600 --> 00:29:31.059
 again for

00:29:31.059 --> 00:29:31.700
 the many

00:29:31.700 --> 00:29:33.960
 varied and

00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:34.600
 diverse

00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:35.420
 relationships

00:29:35.420 --> 00:29:36.080
 that we

00:29:36.080 --> 00:29:36.820
 all have

00:29:36.820 --> 00:29:37.220
 and we

00:29:37.220 --> 00:29:38.060
 all enjoy,

00:29:38.860 --> 00:29:40.200
 whether we

00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:40.500
 are an

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:41.259
 older person

00:29:41.259 --> 00:29:41.640
 or a

00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:41.860
 younger

00:29:41.860 --> 00:29:42.400
 person.

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:45.000
 And

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:45.480
 sometimes

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:45.840
 that

00:29:45.840 --> 00:29:46.440
 standard,

00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:46.759
 that

00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:47.320
 calling,

00:29:48.800 --> 00:29:49.640
 is to

00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:50.039
 us,

00:29:50.600 --> 00:29:51.200
 we cannot

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:51.880
 do it.

00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:54.680
 Father, we

00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:55.500
 repent and

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:56.340
 we turn away

00:29:56.340 --> 00:29:57.259
 from trying

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:58.880
 harder and

00:29:58.880 --> 00:29:59.840
 doing better

00:29:59.840 --> 00:30:00.860
 in our own

00:30:00.860 --> 00:30:01.340
 efforts,

00:30:01.339 --> 00:30:03.119
 and we

00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:04.019
 turn afresh

00:30:04.019 --> 00:30:05.879
 to your

00:30:05.879 --> 00:30:06.419
 grace,

00:30:07.220 --> 00:30:08.980
 asking that

00:30:08.980 --> 00:30:09.599
 we would be

00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:10.859
 motivated daily

00:30:10.859 --> 00:30:13.199
 by what you

00:30:13.199 --> 00:30:13.859
 have done

00:30:13.859 --> 00:30:14.579
 for us,

00:30:15.179 --> 00:30:15.980
 what you

00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:16.659
 are doing

00:30:16.659 --> 00:30:17.259
 for us,

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:17.819
 and what you

00:30:17.819 --> 00:30:18.379
 will do

00:30:18.379 --> 00:30:19.039
 for us.

00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:21.699
 May this

00:30:21.699 --> 00:30:22.459
 grab a hold

00:30:22.459 --> 00:30:23.059
 of us all

00:30:23.059 --> 00:30:24.919
 and may we

00:30:24.919 --> 00:30:25.480
 live out the

00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:26.059
 lives that you

00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:26.799
 call us to

00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:27.720
 so that

00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:29.559
 we will

00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:30.079
 make the

00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:32.559
 teaching of

00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:33.179
 God our

00:30:33.179 --> 00:30:33.639
 Saviour,

00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:34.659
 Jesus Christ,

00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:35.639
 attractive.

00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:38.159
 May grace

00:30:38.159 --> 00:30:38.839
 flow into

00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:39.579
 our lives

00:30:39.579 --> 00:30:41.199
 so that

00:30:41.199 --> 00:30:41.819
 grace would

00:30:41.819 --> 00:30:42.699
 flow out

00:30:42.699 --> 00:30:44.899
 and bring

00:30:44.899 --> 00:30:45.679
 many people

00:30:45.679 --> 00:30:46.980
 to the

00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:47.899
 grace of

00:30:47.899 --> 00:30:48.299
 Christ

00:30:48.299 --> 00:30:48.839
 himself.

00:30:49.919 --> 00:30:50.839
 We ask

00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:51.199
 this in

00:30:51.199 --> 00:30:51.480
 Jesus'

00:30:51.699 --> 00:30:51.919
 name.

00:30:52.980 --> 00:30:53.419
 Amen.

00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.960
 our final

00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:04.519
 song that

00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:04.899
 we're going

00:31:04.899 --> 00:31:05.460
 to sing.

00:31:06.659 --> 00:31:07.159
 If you

00:31:07.159 --> 00:31:07.419
 could just

00:31:07.419 --> 00:31:07.899
 flick it up

00:31:07.899 --> 00:31:08.179
 for me

00:31:08.179 --> 00:31:08.399
 there,

00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:08.799
 Graeme.

00:31:09.199 --> 00:31:09.740
 Thank you.

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:13.480
 One more.

00:31:22.220 --> 00:31:24.640
