00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.240
 Compromise.

00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:06.580
 Sometimes compromise is a good thing.

00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:13.220
 Like in marriage, you and your spouse are in a little bit of a disagreement of how much to spend on your kids' clothes.

00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:16.800
 So you're going to have to come to a compromise.

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.900
 Neither of you will probably get what you want, but that's how compromises work.

00:00:20.899 --> 00:00:34.280
 But compromises like this don't happen just in marriage, but in business, you've got to compromise to make a deal to make everybody happy.

00:00:36.219 --> 00:00:43.239
 In politics, in order to pass legislation, you usually have to do some compromising in order to get some legislation through.

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.000
 We need a little bit more of that.

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:50.780
 But there's another more serious kind of compromise.

00:00:52.259 --> 00:00:54.219
 It's a compromise of heart.

00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:58.799
 A misplaced loyalty.

00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:08.079
 A loyalty instead of giving to the one who is worthy of your ultimate complete devotion, you give it to something else.

00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:12.939
 That's a more serious kind of compromise.

00:01:12.939 --> 00:01:22.239
 This heart loyalty compromise is what makes marital affairs so devastating.

00:01:24.379 --> 00:01:28.299
 It's what makes a patriot turned traitor worthy of death.

00:01:28.299 --> 00:01:39.939
 And it's what makes a church that is just kind of blended into its surrounding culture so grievous in God's sight.

00:01:42.939 --> 00:01:46.120
 We're not to blend in.

00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:48.739
 We're to stand out.

00:01:50.019 --> 00:01:51.700
 We're not to be silent.

00:01:52.819 --> 00:01:54.200
 But we're to speak up.

00:01:54.200 --> 00:02:04.560
 This morning, the risen, radiant, and reigning Christ, he speaks to a compromised church.

00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.740
 The church of Sardis.

00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.240
 And so if this is, you're here for the first time, we've been making our way to the book of Revelation.

00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:14.980
 And we're in chapters, been in chapters two and three.

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.960
 And we're just making, kind of going from one letter to the next.

00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:19.560
 Seven letters to seven churches.

00:02:19.700 --> 00:02:22.780
 And we're in the fifth letter, the church to Sardis.

00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:25.700
 And each of these letters share a very similar structure.

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.379
 So this morning, I'm just going to walk us through the structure of the letter.

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.040
 And by the end, we need to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:42.159
 So let's start with this church, this compromised church.

00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.459
 Just a tad of background on the city of Sardis.

00:02:45.699 --> 00:02:50.900
 It was about 30 miles south of Theatira, which we saw last week.

00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:52.879
 It was a commercial hub.

00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:59.399
 But it was also a military strategic point in this area.

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:08.540
 It had what's called a necropolis, literally a summit city, a fortress on sheer cliffs of 1,500 feet high.

00:03:08.659 --> 00:03:11.379
 It had a commanding view of the surrounding area.

00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:14.140
 It was militarily highly strategic.

00:03:15.980 --> 00:03:19.680
 And the Sardinians thought that they were impregnable.

00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:28.200
 495, 496, Cyrus II sends Persian army there.

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:34.180
 And because the Sardinians thought that these walls would take care of them,

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.920
 they were not watchful.

00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:47.080
 And the Persians were able to sneak up a back path into this elevated fortress,

00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:49.759
 and they sacked that city.

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.300
 The Sardinians thought that they were something that they were not.

00:03:55.300 --> 00:04:00.560
 And it's with some degree of irony that Jesus speaks to this church in Sardis,

00:04:00.600 --> 00:04:01.080
 and he says,

00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:04.180
 Hey, you're not alive.

00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:05.700
 You're dead.

00:04:07.260 --> 00:04:08.740
 They thought that they were something.

00:04:10.380 --> 00:04:11.360
 But they were not.

00:04:11.939 --> 00:04:14.160
 If you look at chapter 3 in verse 2,

00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:14.900
 we read,

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.480
 Wake up and strengthen what remains and is about to die.

00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:18.980
 This is Jesus speaking to this church.

00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:22.759
 For I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.

00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:25.540
 They got a big I on the top of their paper.

00:04:25.939 --> 00:04:26.420
 Incomplete.

00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:28.580
 In other words,

00:04:29.020 --> 00:04:31.879
 something major is missing in this church.

00:04:31.939 --> 00:04:33.020
 And it's more than one thing.

00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:34.180
 It's works.

00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:35.939
 There's a few things that are missing.

00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.220
 Something is missing in Sardis.

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:41.819
 And you know what it is.

00:04:42.060 --> 00:04:44.580
 We're given some clues from this text of what they are.

00:04:44.579 --> 00:04:47.359
 One is,

00:04:48.539 --> 00:04:50.180
 they've got to compromise walk.

00:04:51.039 --> 00:04:52.300
 And what I mean by walk is,

00:04:53.039 --> 00:04:54.560
 a way of living your life.

00:04:56.359 --> 00:04:57.419
 If you look down,

00:04:58.279 --> 00:04:59.039
 in verse 4,

00:04:59.439 --> 00:04:59.860
 we read,

00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.579
 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis.

00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.779
 People who have not soiled their garments.

00:05:05.899 --> 00:05:08.099
 That soiled their garments kind of language,

00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.039
 that's referring to

00:05:10.039 --> 00:05:12.439
 impurity, defilement.

00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:14.560
 A way of being

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.579
 that doesn't stand out

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:17.879
 from the surrounding culture,

00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:19.360
 but blends in.

00:05:20.719 --> 00:05:22.639
 So what Jesus is addressing here

00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.139
 is the majority of this church,

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:25.860
 not the few,

00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:26.839
 but the majority,

00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:28.899
 they were walking around

00:05:28.899 --> 00:05:29.980
 with soiled garments.

00:05:32.579 --> 00:05:33.939
 Chronic sin.

00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:36.399
 A lifestyle of sin.

00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:37.860
 Not occasional stuff.

00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:39.060
 Lifestyle.

00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:40.639
 So much is that they blend

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.800
 in to the non-Christians

00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.580
 in Sardis of the time.

00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:46.939
 This was a church

00:05:46.939 --> 00:05:49.160
 that was compromising its walk.

00:05:50.420 --> 00:05:51.480
 They didn't look any different

00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:52.480
 than anybody around them.

00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:54.120
 They blended in.

00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:56.520
 But the other area

00:05:56.520 --> 00:05:58.160
 in which they were compromising

00:05:58.160 --> 00:05:59.939
 was in their witness.

00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:01.879
 If you look at verse 5,

00:06:02.340 --> 00:06:02.980
 Jesus is,

00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:03.639
 in verse 5,

00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:05.019
 is he's promising,

00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:06.560
 making three promises

00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.079
 to those who overcome,

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.379
 those who conquer compromise.

00:06:12.139 --> 00:06:13.240
 And the last one,

00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:13.560
 he says,

00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:14.680
 I will confess his name

00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:15.560
 before my Father

00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.079
 and before his angels.

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.419
 The one who confesses me,

00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.019
 this is Matthew 10, 32,

00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:22.240
 I will confess

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.159
 before the Father.

00:06:24.620 --> 00:06:25.659
 You know what the implication,

00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:26.599
 the inference is?

00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:28.839
 This is a church

00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.300
 that is not witnessing

00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:30.979
 to Jesus.

00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:34.780
 He's not going to acknowledge

00:06:34.780 --> 00:06:36.420
 anyone who does not

00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:37.180
 acknowledge him.

00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.140
 And what I mean by witness

00:06:41.140 --> 00:06:42.580
 isn't pulling your pulpit out

00:06:42.580 --> 00:06:43.319
 and preaching

00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:44.580
 a 40-minute sermon

00:06:44.580 --> 00:06:45.620
 to your neighbors.

00:06:47.700 --> 00:06:48.120
 To witness

00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:49.500
 is not that complicated.

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.400
 Think of witnessing as this.

00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:53.520
 You're just giving credit

00:06:53.520 --> 00:06:54.400
 to where credit's due.

00:06:56.140 --> 00:06:57.580
 You're just acknowledging Jesus

00:06:57.580 --> 00:06:58.819
 for the good things

00:06:58.819 --> 00:06:59.860
 that he's doing in your life.

00:07:00.980 --> 00:07:02.240
 That's all that witnessing is.

00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:04.520
 You're testifying

00:07:04.520 --> 00:07:05.140
 to the goodness

00:07:05.140 --> 00:07:06.000
 of the Lord Jesus

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.200
 and his work in your life.

00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:08.580
 You might,

00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:09.180
 someone might say,

00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:10.460
 hey, you're a really nice guy.

00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:11.939
 You witness by saying,

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:12.439
 you know what,

00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:14.000
 I was a real jerk

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:14.680
 back in the day,

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.140
 but Jesus has made me nice.

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:16.879
 You're witnessing.

00:07:18.259 --> 00:07:18.620
 Or,

00:07:18.900 --> 00:07:20.080
 hey, you're a really nice guy.

00:07:20.460 --> 00:07:21.180
 Oh, you know what,

00:07:21.620 --> 00:07:23.040
 I used to be a nice guy

00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:23.660
 because I feared

00:07:23.660 --> 00:07:24.240
 what other people

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:24.900
 think about me,

00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:26.040
 but Jesus has set me free

00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:26.360
 from that,

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:26.900
 so I don't care

00:07:26.900 --> 00:07:27.680
 what you think anymore

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:28.660
 because Jesus is doing

00:07:28.660 --> 00:07:29.280
 a work in my life.

00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:29.900
 That's witnessing.

00:07:29.899 --> 00:07:34.939
 They had compromised

00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:35.759
 their witness.

00:07:37.219 --> 00:07:38.379
 They're ashamed

00:07:38.379 --> 00:07:40.079
 of Jesus.

00:07:41.859 --> 00:07:43.419
 They're not speaking up.

00:07:44.159 --> 00:07:45.539
 They're remaining silent.

00:07:45.679 --> 00:07:45.799
 Now,

00:07:46.159 --> 00:07:47.339
 who in this room

00:07:47.339 --> 00:07:48.459
 has not,

00:07:48.599 --> 00:07:49.359
 at some time,

00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:50.899
 willfully compromised

00:07:51.719 --> 00:07:53.359
 their exclusive devotion

00:07:53.359 --> 00:07:54.099
 to Jesus

00:07:54.099 --> 00:07:55.099
 in one of these areas,

00:07:55.159 --> 00:07:55.919
 whether your walk

00:07:55.919 --> 00:07:56.759
 or your witness?

00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.560
 And just to let you know,

00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:00.480
 these two are very much

00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:01.459
 related to one another.

00:08:02.819 --> 00:08:04.180
 Your walk

00:08:04.180 --> 00:08:05.920
 validates

00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:06.959
 your witness.

00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:08.500
 So,

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:09.099
 if you have

00:08:09.099 --> 00:08:10.819
 a compromised walk,

00:08:11.819 --> 00:08:12.659
 chances are

00:08:12.659 --> 00:08:13.620
 you're going to have

00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:14.959
 a compromised witness

00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:16.379
 and therefore,

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.319
 you're not going to say anything.

00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.000
 There is an epidemic

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:22.839
 in our culture.

00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:23.540
 It's pornography.

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:25.459
 And what happens

00:08:25.459 --> 00:08:26.379
 to a Christian

00:08:26.379 --> 00:08:27.219
 who is entangled

00:08:27.219 --> 00:08:27.899
 in pornography

00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:29.839
 is they become ashamed

00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:31.439
 of the sin

00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.059
 that they're mired in

00:08:33.059 --> 00:08:34.340
 because their walk

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:35.200
 is compromised.

00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:37.639
 And when they're given

00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:38.259
 opportunities

00:08:38.259 --> 00:08:39.399
 to witness to Jesus,

00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.220
 they are not going to

00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:42.919
 because they're ashamed

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:43.700
 of themselves.

00:08:46.299 --> 00:08:47.059
 They've nothing

00:08:47.059 --> 00:08:47.899
 to point to.

00:08:51.659 --> 00:08:52.679
 Compromised life

00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:53.599
 results in a

00:08:53.599 --> 00:08:55.119
 compromised witness.

00:08:58.119 --> 00:08:59.000
 And it's

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:00.359
 exactly the opposite

00:09:00.359 --> 00:09:01.899
 of what the Holy Spirit

00:09:01.899 --> 00:09:02.919
 is wanting to do

00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:04.000
 in a church.

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:06.639
 The Holy Spirit

00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:07.379
 is seeking to

00:09:07.379 --> 00:09:08.799
 make us holy

00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.000
 and to make us bold.

00:09:12.659 --> 00:09:13.139
 Now,

00:09:13.199 --> 00:09:14.219
 if our lives

00:09:14.219 --> 00:09:15.359
 blend into

00:09:15.359 --> 00:09:16.159
 the non-Christian

00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:17.480
 culture around us,

00:09:17.719 --> 00:09:18.459
 our witness

00:09:18.459 --> 00:09:19.219
 to Christ

00:09:19.219 --> 00:09:20.759
 will make no sense.

00:09:21.079 --> 00:09:21.519
 But,

00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:22.199
 if,

00:09:22.459 --> 00:09:23.279
 when our lives

00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:24.360
 stand out

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:25.600
 for Christ,

00:09:26.079 --> 00:09:27.299
 now that gives us

00:09:27.299 --> 00:09:28.279
 something to talk about

00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:29.240
 regarding Jesus.

00:09:29.539 --> 00:09:30.199
 It doesn't matter

00:09:30.199 --> 00:09:31.120
 what people think,

00:09:32.259 --> 00:09:33.459
 but we're able

00:09:33.459 --> 00:09:33.980
 to witness

00:09:33.980 --> 00:09:34.819
 to what He's doing

00:09:34.819 --> 00:09:35.459
 in our lives.

00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.319
 A compromised walk

00:09:41.319 --> 00:09:42.120
 results in a

00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:43.139
 compromised witness.

00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:46.379
 Jesus is going to

00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:47.460
 say to this church.

00:09:49.699 --> 00:09:50.620
 What is He going to

00:09:50.620 --> 00:09:51.699
 say to this church

00:09:51.699 --> 00:09:52.399
 that has just

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:53.500
 kind of blended in

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:55.580
 and kept its head

00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:56.439
 low and not

00:09:56.439 --> 00:09:57.659
 kind of ruffled

00:09:57.659 --> 00:09:58.799
 feathers and being

00:09:58.799 --> 00:09:59.980
 identified with Jesus?

00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:01.600
 What's He going to

00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:02.539
 say to them?

00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:04.600
 What's He going to

00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:05.199
 say to us?

00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:08.379
 We looked at the church,

00:10:08.460 --> 00:10:09.240
 now let's look at the

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:09.679
 Christ.

00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:09.779
 Christ.

00:10:12.179 --> 00:10:13.519
 Jesus says two things

00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:14.199
 about Himself.

00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:15.199
 They're very interesting.

00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:17.179
 He says,

00:10:17.959 --> 00:10:18.639
 the words of Him

00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:19.759
 who has the seven

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.620
 spirits of God

00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:21.399
 and the seven stars.

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:22.299
 This is the pattern

00:10:22.299 --> 00:10:22.959
 with these letters.

00:10:23.539 --> 00:10:24.699
 Jesus introduces

00:10:24.699 --> 00:10:25.519
 the church

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:26.439
 and then He says

00:10:26.439 --> 00:10:27.579
 something about Himself.

00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:29.719
 And He says two things.

00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.139
 Let's take the last first.

00:10:31.419 --> 00:10:32.839
 He has the seven stars.

00:10:33.199 --> 00:10:33.779
 We already know

00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:34.659
 what He's talking about

00:10:34.659 --> 00:10:36.000
 because in Revelation

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:36.620
 1.20,

00:10:36.699 --> 00:10:38.079
 He says that the seven stars

00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:39.600
 are the seven angels

00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:40.720
 of the seven churches.

00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:41.540
 And He has them.

00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:42.600
 He's holding them.

00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:45.320
 And the idea there is

00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.780
 He is reigning over them.

00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.139
 He is sovereignly ruling

00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:52.240
 over the spiritual world

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.379
 of angels and demons.

00:10:54.139 --> 00:10:55.160
 They do His bidding

00:10:55.160 --> 00:10:58.080
 as we make our way

00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.139
 through the book of Revelation.

00:10:59.340 --> 00:11:00.040
 And when we get into

00:11:00.040 --> 00:11:01.500
 chapter 6 and 8

00:11:01.500 --> 00:11:02.600
 and 9 and 11,

00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:03.580
 we're going to start

00:11:03.580 --> 00:11:05.060
 coming into contact

00:11:05.059 --> 00:11:06.719
 with the seven seals

00:11:06.719 --> 00:11:08.239
 and the seven trumpets.

00:11:08.699 --> 00:11:09.779
 In chapter 5,

00:11:10.099 --> 00:11:11.539
 there is the one

00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:12.500
 on the throne

00:11:12.500 --> 00:11:14.359
 holding a scroll,

00:11:14.659 --> 00:11:15.299
 God's plan

00:11:15.299 --> 00:11:16.519
 for the fullness of time.

00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:17.639
 And there's only one

00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:18.339
 who can take it.

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.000
 It's the Lamb

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:19.759
 who was slain

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:20.439
 and is alive.

00:11:21.239 --> 00:11:22.219
 And that scroll

00:11:22.219 --> 00:11:23.539
 has seven seals.

00:11:25.539 --> 00:11:26.359
 And the one

00:11:26.359 --> 00:11:26.799
 who is able

00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:27.839
 to open the scroll

00:11:27.839 --> 00:11:29.039
 and break those seals

00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:29.859
 is the one

00:11:29.859 --> 00:11:30.500
 who is able

00:11:30.500 --> 00:11:31.239
 to execute

00:11:31.239 --> 00:11:32.299
 God's plan

00:11:32.299 --> 00:11:33.500
 for the fullness of time.

00:11:33.500 --> 00:11:36.200
 And what we see

00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.200
 in chapter 6 and 8,

00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:39.019
 9 and 11

00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:40.120
 as Jesus,

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:41.600
 the risen Lamb,

00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:42.639
 breaks a scroll,

00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:43.539
 do you know what happens?

00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:46.980
 Angels scramble

00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:47.779
 to do His bidding.

00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:51.539
 He's in control.

00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:52.679
 It reminds us

00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.000
 that we're in a spiritual battle.

00:11:55.620 --> 00:11:56.820
 But it reminds us

00:11:56.820 --> 00:11:57.360
 that Jesus

00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.100
 is reigning on high,

00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:00.259
 carrying out His purposes.

00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:02.419
 It's that other

00:12:02.419 --> 00:12:04.240
 description of Himself

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:05.139
 that I wanted to draw

00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:06.219
 your attention to now.

00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.500
 He has the seven spirits

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:10.059
 of God.

00:12:11.459 --> 00:12:12.319
 That's an interesting

00:12:12.319 --> 00:12:13.039
 thing to say.

00:12:14.599 --> 00:12:15.579
 What are the seven

00:12:15.579 --> 00:12:16.419
 spirits of God?

00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:18.599
 Well, throughout

00:12:18.599 --> 00:12:19.599
 the book of Revelation,

00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:20.539
 the seven spirits

00:12:20.539 --> 00:12:21.519
 of God is a way

00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:22.159
 of talking about

00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:23.519
 the one Holy Spirit

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:23.939
 of God.

00:12:24.579 --> 00:12:24.839
 Remember,

00:12:25.059 --> 00:12:26.719
 seven in the Hebrew mind

00:12:26.719 --> 00:12:27.459
 means fullness

00:12:27.459 --> 00:12:28.459
 and completeness.

00:12:29.299 --> 00:12:29.959
 The fullness

00:12:29.959 --> 00:12:30.759
 of the Spirit.

00:12:31.259 --> 00:12:31.659
 The fullness

00:12:32.419 --> 00:12:33.259
 we see it

00:12:33.259 --> 00:12:33.899
 in chapter 1,

00:12:33.959 --> 00:12:35.319
 verses 4 and 5

00:12:35.319 --> 00:12:36.279
 where the Holy Spirit,

00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:37.120
 these seven spirits

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:37.599
 of God,

00:12:37.719 --> 00:12:38.599
 are connected

00:12:38.599 --> 00:12:40.379
 to God the Father

00:12:40.379 --> 00:12:41.699
 who is and was

00:12:41.699 --> 00:12:42.360
 and is to come

00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:43.419
 and God the Son

00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:44.740
 who is the true witness,

00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:45.699
 the King of the earth.

00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.079
 It's a triune greeting

00:12:48.079 --> 00:12:49.360
 in the book of Revelation.

00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:51.259
 In chapter 4,

00:12:51.319 --> 00:12:51.799
 verse 5,

00:12:51.860 --> 00:12:52.679
 the seven spirits

00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:53.299
 of God

00:12:53.299 --> 00:12:55.559
 are described

00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:56.579
 as being

00:12:56.579 --> 00:12:57.919
 the seven torches

00:12:57.919 --> 00:12:58.939
 of burning fire

00:12:58.939 --> 00:12:59.799
 before God.

00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:01.139
 remember,

00:13:02.019 --> 00:13:02.479
 the churches

00:13:02.479 --> 00:13:03.859
 are the lampstands

00:13:03.859 --> 00:13:04.979
 that Jesus

00:13:04.979 --> 00:13:05.779
 is in the midst of

00:13:05.779 --> 00:13:07.299
 and these torches

00:13:07.299 --> 00:13:08.000
 of fire

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:09.839
 are on top

00:13:09.839 --> 00:13:10.959
 of the lampstands.

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:13.439
 The Holy Spirit

00:13:13.439 --> 00:13:14.099
 is present

00:13:14.099 --> 00:13:14.859
 in His people

00:13:14.859 --> 00:13:16.559
 to light up

00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:17.500
 the church

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:19.639
 with a contrasting

00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:20.299
 walk

00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:21.579
 of blamelessness

00:13:21.579 --> 00:13:23.219
 and a boldness

00:13:23.219 --> 00:13:23.899
 of witness

00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:24.899
 that stands

00:13:24.899 --> 00:13:26.360
 us out.

00:13:28.579 --> 00:13:29.840
 In 5, 6,

00:13:29.959 --> 00:13:30.840
 the seven spirits

00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:31.480
 of God

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.500
 is described

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:34.360
 as the seven eyes

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:35.399
 of the Lamb

00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.559
 sent throughout

00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:39.279
 all the earth.

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:43.879
 If you're familiar

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:44.480
 with the gospel

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.220
 of John and all,

00:13:45.319 --> 00:13:45.639
 you'll know

00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.740
 that in John 14, 26,

00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:49.279
 Jesus talks about

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:49.919
 He and the Father

00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:51.539
 sending out

00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:52.740
 the Holy Spirit

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:53.340
 to remind

00:13:53.340 --> 00:13:54.139
 His disciples

00:13:54.139 --> 00:13:55.240
 of all that

00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:55.980
 He has said,

00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:57.560
 to speak

00:13:57.560 --> 00:13:58.320
 to the world.

00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:01.000
 And in John 15, 26,

00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:02.259
 Jesus again says,

00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:02.779
 He and the Father

00:14:02.779 --> 00:14:03.340
 have sent out

00:14:03.340 --> 00:14:03.960
 the Holy Spirit,

00:14:04.060 --> 00:14:04.460
 the helper,

00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:06.220
 to bear witness

00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:06.980
 to Jesus.

00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:08.980
 And then in 16, 7,

00:14:09.060 --> 00:14:09.580
 through 12,

00:14:09.899 --> 00:14:10.720
 Jesus again says,

00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:11.440
 the Holy Spirit,

00:14:11.539 --> 00:14:12.480
 He is sending Him

00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:13.740
 out into the world

00:14:13.740 --> 00:14:14.620
 to convict

00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:15.560
 the world of sin,

00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:16.120
 righteousness,

00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:16.940
 and judgment

00:14:16.940 --> 00:14:18.240
 in order to expose

00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:18.700
 the world

00:14:18.700 --> 00:14:19.460
 of their need

00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:20.220
 for Jesus.

00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:23.680
 the seven spirits

00:14:23.680 --> 00:14:24.259
 of God

00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:25.560
 is the one Holy Spirit

00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:26.600
 sent forth

00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.700
 to empower the church

00:14:28.700 --> 00:14:30.440
 for global witness.

00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:34.660
 He is the life-giving,

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.500
 the Holy Spirit

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:37.320
 is the life-giving power

00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:38.940
 of a local church

00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:40.980
 to walk blameless

00:14:40.980 --> 00:14:42.560
 and witness boldly.

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.019
 Breath is to your body

00:14:45.019 --> 00:14:46.420
 as to the Holy Spirit

00:14:46.420 --> 00:14:47.500
 is to a church

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:55.919
 and just to clarify,

00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.259
 at the moment

00:14:58.259 --> 00:14:59.100
 you believed,

00:14:59.259 --> 00:14:59.440
 brother,

00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:00.600
 sister in Christ,

00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.000
 God the Holy Spirit

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:03.960
 took up residency

00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:05.899
 in your life.

00:15:06.899 --> 00:15:09.600
 He came to dwell in you,

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.500
 sealing you for Himself,

00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:12.600
 Ephesians 1, 13,

00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:14.259
 the moment you believed,

00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:17.259
 enabling you to walk

00:15:17.259 --> 00:15:18.500
 in holiness

00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:21.100
 and to bear witness

00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:23.819
 to your Lord Jesus Christ.

00:15:27.100 --> 00:15:27.659
 So,

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:29.340
 why is Jesus saying

00:15:29.340 --> 00:15:30.340
 all this stuff

00:15:30.340 --> 00:15:31.559
 to a church

00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:32.500
 that is essentially

00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:33.580
 flat-lined?

00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:37.480
 He's got life.

00:15:39.319 --> 00:15:40.519
 I've got life

00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:41.480
 to give to you,

00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:42.000
 Sardis.

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:46.360
 I have the Holy Spirit

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.580
 who will enliven you

00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:49.740
 and empower you.

00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:54.740
 Jesus doesn't want

00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:56.059
 His church flat-lining.

00:15:56.659 --> 00:15:59.460
 He wants His church thriving.

00:16:01.460 --> 00:16:02.679
 The prayer that Brian

00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:03.600
 prayed this morning,

00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:04.519
 oh, may that be

00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:05.700
 the prayer of all of us.

00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:07.000
 Oh, God,

00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:08.000
 would You pour out

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.860
 Your Spirit upon us,

00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:10.580
 Your people,

00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.500
 reviving us

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:14.220
 to live holy lives

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:15.800
 and to proclaim Jesus

00:16:15.800 --> 00:16:16.759
 with boldness,

00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:18.000
 to give Him credit

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.539
 for everything good

00:16:19.539 --> 00:16:20.560
 He's doing in our lives.

00:16:23.419 --> 00:16:25.039
 So, here we have the Christ,

00:16:25.259 --> 00:16:25.539
 Jesus,

00:16:25.820 --> 00:16:26.940
 saying to this church,

00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:28.060
 remember me,

00:16:28.300 --> 00:16:29.000
 I'm the one

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:30.139
 with the seven spirits

00:16:30.139 --> 00:16:31.279
 and the seven angels.

00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:33.259
 I'm ruling over it all.

00:16:33.259 --> 00:16:36.120
 And He knows something.

00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:38.639
 Look at the claim.

00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:40.439
 We're still in verse one.

00:16:42.319 --> 00:16:43.620
 I know your works,

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.960
 He says to this church.

00:16:45.299 --> 00:16:47.480
 I know your works.

00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:50.179
 I can see your heart.

00:16:53.819 --> 00:16:55.159
 Now, we have seen Jesus

00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:55.960
 say this now.

00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.080
 This is the fifth time

00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:57.919
 in five weeks

00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:59.480
 Jesus has said this.

00:16:59.939 --> 00:17:00.539
 I know.

00:17:01.419 --> 00:17:02.459
 I know your works.

00:17:02.539 --> 00:17:02.980
 We're going to see it

00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:03.919
 in the next two weeks

00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:05.079
 to Philadelphia,

00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:05.819
 3.8.

00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:06.940
 I know your works

00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:08.000
 to Laodicea,

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:08.599
 3.15.

00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:09.839
 I know your works.

00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:11.480
 And we can start thinking,

00:17:11.879 --> 00:17:13.119
 yada, yada, yada, yada.

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:14.339
 I know, I know, I know.

00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:15.059
 Jesus knows,

00:17:15.180 --> 00:17:15.680
 Jesus knows,

00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:16.539
 Jesus knows.

00:17:19.339 --> 00:17:20.539
 Jesus knows.

00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:23.740
 Remember the fire eyes.

00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:25.659
 He has eyes

00:17:25.659 --> 00:17:27.259
 like flames of fire.

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:28.519
 They penetrate

00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:29.740
 into the hidden depths

00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:30.759
 of every person,

00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:31.579
 every church,

00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.259
 and His penetrating sight

00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:35.220
 is a purifying presence.

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.000
 He purposed

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:39.400
 before the foundation

00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:40.299
 of the world

00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:42.180
 to present His church,

00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:42.900
 His bride,

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:43.759
 to Himself

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.039
 in splendor,

00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:46.839
 without spot or wrinkle,

00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:48.779
 holy,

00:17:49.339 --> 00:17:50.380
 and without blemish,

00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:52.859
 blameless.

00:17:54.420 --> 00:17:55.480
 That's His purpose

00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:56.279
 in our midst.

00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:58.599
 1 Thessalonians 4.7,

00:17:58.599 --> 00:17:59.939
 for God has not called us

00:17:59.939 --> 00:18:00.839
 for impurity,

00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:02.359
 but in holiness.

00:18:05.619 --> 00:18:06.839
 No compromises.

00:18:07.619 --> 00:18:08.259
 He wants us

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:09.359
 to walk blameless,

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.059
 and He knows

00:18:11.059 --> 00:18:11.619
 when we don't.

00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:15.819
 Here we have a picture

00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:16.939
 of Jesus poised,

00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:17.779
 purposed,

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:19.299
 to purify His people.

00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:21.639
 It's the most loving thing

00:18:21.639 --> 00:18:22.619
 He can do for us.

00:18:23.699 --> 00:18:24.939
 He loves us so much,

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:26.019
 He wants us to share

00:18:26.019 --> 00:18:26.660
 in His holiness.

00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.900
 It's a holy happiness.

00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:33.879
 A holy joy.

00:18:34.099 --> 00:18:35.599
 And just to remind you,

00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:37.259
 the happiest person

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:38.240
 in all of existence

00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.180
 is God Himself,

00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:40.680
 and He's the holiest of all.

00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:43.839
 Now, I can imagine right now

00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:45.119
 that the Spirit of God

00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:46.359
 is at work in some of you.

00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:48.460
 And here's what's happening.

00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:49.420
 You may be hearing

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:50.319
 what I am saying,

00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:51.679
 and simultaneously

00:18:51.679 --> 00:18:53.019
 to you hearing

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:53.679
 what I'm saying,

00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:54.740
 you are trying

00:18:54.740 --> 00:18:55.559
 to keep something

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:56.559
 compartmentalized.

00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:58.799
 You're trying

00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:59.480
 to keep something

00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:00.960
 away from these words

00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:01.960
 falling on your ears.

00:19:04.099 --> 00:19:05.079
 There is something

00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:05.720
 in your life

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:06.399
 that you'd rather

00:19:06.399 --> 00:19:07.960
 ignore than to address

00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:09.039
 because you know

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:09.879
 that it's grievous

00:19:09.879 --> 00:19:11.279
 to the Spirit of God,

00:19:11.379 --> 00:19:12.359
 maybe even

00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.119
 quenching of the Spirit

00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:15.759
 in our midst.

00:19:17.500 --> 00:19:18.439
 And what you're trying

00:19:18.439 --> 00:19:19.919
 to do is compartmentalize it.

00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:22.379
 Don't look there.

00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:25.240
 There's an area

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:25.839
 of your life

00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:26.859
 that you don't want

00:19:26.859 --> 00:19:27.799
 to open the door to

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:29.000
 and let the light

00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:30.339
 of Christ shine in.

00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:32.259
 Brothers and sisters,

00:19:32.259 --> 00:19:33.079
 if you're there,

00:19:33.939 --> 00:19:35.220
 Jesus already sees it.

00:19:37.639 --> 00:19:39.119
 He already sees it.

00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:40.480
 I know your works.

00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:43.099
 He knows where

00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:43.899
 you're compromising

00:19:43.899 --> 00:19:44.559
 in your walk

00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:45.759
 or your witness.

00:19:46.659 --> 00:19:47.740
 And out of love

00:19:47.740 --> 00:19:48.240
 for you,

00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.119
 His uncompromising,

00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:51.399
 commitment to you,

00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.339
 He wants to grow you,

00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:56.359
 purify you,

00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:58.000
 make you holy

00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:59.019
 in both walk

00:19:59.019 --> 00:19:59.779
 and witness.

00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:04.559
 I know your works.

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:08.779
 Your Lord Jesus Christ

00:20:08.779 --> 00:20:10.319
 wants good for you.

00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:13.440
 So what is this

00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:14.240
 risen, radiant,

00:20:14.339 --> 00:20:15.119
 and reigning Christ?

00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:16.559
 What does He have to say

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:18.019
 to this compromising church?

00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:19.259
 I know your works.

00:20:19.819 --> 00:20:21.160
 And what He says next

00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:23.599
 is striking.

00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:27.000
 We're still in verse 1.

00:20:28.419 --> 00:20:29.240
 You have the reputation

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:30.359
 of being alive,

00:20:30.619 --> 00:20:32.679
 but you're dead.

00:20:33.619 --> 00:20:35.719
 You think you're alive,

00:20:35.939 --> 00:20:37.480
 but I know you're dead.

00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:39.759
 That's Jesus addressing

00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:40.559
 the church,

00:20:40.899 --> 00:20:41.599
 and He's the guy

00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:42.719
 with the flames of fire,

00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:43.259
 eyes.

00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:44.679
 He knows it all.

00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:47.659
 He says you have a reputation

00:20:47.659 --> 00:20:48.259
 of being alive.

00:20:48.379 --> 00:20:48.639
 Literally,

00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:50.099
 it's the word name.

00:20:50.099 --> 00:20:51.179
 You have a name

00:20:51.179 --> 00:20:51.939
 for yourself

00:20:51.939 --> 00:20:53.259
 of being alive,

00:20:53.379 --> 00:20:54.459
 but I know you're dead.

00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:59.119
 What kind of reputation?

00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:00.139
 Who knows

00:21:00.139 --> 00:21:01.240
 that they are alive?

00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:04.079
 Well, contextually,

00:21:04.179 --> 00:21:04.699
 it seems like

00:21:04.699 --> 00:21:05.439
 most likely

00:21:05.439 --> 00:21:06.279
 the other churches

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.480
 know that they are alive

00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:09.719
 or think that they are alive.

00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:11.079
 Maybe something like this happened.

00:21:11.179 --> 00:21:11.559
 Imagine,

00:21:12.139 --> 00:21:13.079
 the church of Sardis,

00:21:13.339 --> 00:21:14.500
 maybe years before,

00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:16.079
 was not compromising,

00:21:16.179 --> 00:21:17.799
 but walking in spirit power,

00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:20.379
 and they were experiencing growth.

00:21:20.659 --> 00:21:21.440
 They had a thriving

00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:22.539
 children's ministry,

00:21:22.980 --> 00:21:24.559
 vibrant corporate worship.

00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:26.319
 The six other churches

00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:27.799
 were like sending them emails

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:28.980
 and sending them texts

00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:29.639
 and sending them

00:21:29.639 --> 00:21:30.619
 kind of groups of people.

00:21:30.659 --> 00:21:31.559
 Hey, what are you guys doing?

00:21:31.659 --> 00:21:32.460
 This is amazing.

00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:33.559
 Help us understand

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:34.680
 how you're growing so much.

00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:35.599
 Show us, show us.

00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:37.200
 You guys are alive.

00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:40.359
 But somewhere along the way,

00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:43.940
 they let go of the rope.

00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:45.539
 Sardis,

00:21:45.539 --> 00:21:47.920
 they were just

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:49.740
 gliding.

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:55.480
 Have you ever seen somebody

00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:57.859
 water skiing before?

00:21:58.539 --> 00:21:59.180
 I read that.

00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:00.240
 I read this illustration

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:00.819
 this past week.

00:22:00.859 --> 00:22:01.460
 I got to use it.

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:06.399
 Maybe you're out at Silver Lake.

00:22:06.500 --> 00:22:07.240
 You see someone

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:09.899
 water skiing.

00:22:10.139 --> 00:22:11.299
 They're holding on

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:12.000
 to that rope

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:13.079
 of that power boat,

00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:14.099
 and they're just being

00:22:14.099 --> 00:22:15.319
 pulled along.

00:22:15.539 --> 00:22:19.259
 Eventually,

00:22:19.420 --> 00:22:20.159
 a water skier

00:22:20.159 --> 00:22:20.879
 is going to need to say,

00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:21.680
 hey, I'm worn out.

00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.619
 I'm just going to let go.

00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:23.420
 And usually,

00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:24.119
 the water skier

00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:25.220
 just kind of glides

00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:26.819
 for 10, 20, 30 feet,

00:22:26.879 --> 00:22:27.700
 depending on how fast

00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:29.399
 the power boat's going.

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:31.359
 Now,

00:22:31.420 --> 00:22:32.379
 it would be a mistake

00:22:32.379 --> 00:22:34.119
 for that water skier

00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:35.200
 at that moment

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:36.399
 he is gliding along

00:22:36.399 --> 00:22:37.319
 to think that he is

00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:39.420
 actually powering

00:22:39.420 --> 00:22:40.059
 his gliding.

00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:42.819
 because he's let go

00:22:42.819 --> 00:22:43.539
 of the rope.

00:22:44.500 --> 00:22:46.079
 As soon as he lets go

00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:46.899
 of the rope,

00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:49.700
 it's a precursor

00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:50.839
 to his sinking.

00:22:54.399 --> 00:22:55.579
 How long do you think

00:22:55.579 --> 00:22:57.339
 a church can glide

00:22:57.339 --> 00:23:00.379
 after compromising Jesus,

00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:02.639
 after letting go

00:23:02.639 --> 00:23:03.240
 of the rope,

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:05.319
 after letting go

00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:06.099
 of the power

00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:06.539
 of the rope?

00:23:10.059 --> 00:23:11.099
 How long can a church

00:23:11.099 --> 00:23:12.399
 go through the motions

00:23:12.399 --> 00:23:14.559
 after compromising

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:15.679
 their exclusive

00:23:15.679 --> 00:23:17.079
 devotion,

00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:18.480
 dependence,

00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:19.539
 think,

00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:21.779
 Jesus is the vine

00:23:21.779 --> 00:23:22.720
 where the branches

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:24.759
 broken off.

00:23:24.940 --> 00:23:26.159
 How long can you go

00:23:26.159 --> 00:23:26.859
 as a church?

00:23:29.940 --> 00:23:31.259
 You can go for a while.

00:23:32.059 --> 00:23:32.899
 You can go through

00:23:32.899 --> 00:23:33.960
 the motion for years.

00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:36.160
 But what I'm calling

00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:37.440
 gliding,

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:39.640
 Jesus calls

00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:41.079
 flatlining.

00:23:44.019 --> 00:23:45.259
 You have a reputation

00:23:45.259 --> 00:23:46.860
 of being alive.

00:23:47.059 --> 00:23:48.319
 You may look like

00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:49.039
 you're living,

00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:50.259
 but I know

00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:52.059
 you're flatlining.

00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:56.279
 You know what I mean

00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:56.900
 by flatlining?

00:23:59.180 --> 00:23:59.940
 Maybe you've seen

00:23:59.940 --> 00:24:00.620
 a TV show.

00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:03.180
 A patient is hooked up

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:04.299
 to an EKG machine

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:06.519
 and it's displaying

00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:07.299
 a patient's heartbeat.

00:24:07.740 --> 00:24:08.080
 It's like,

00:24:08.259 --> 00:24:10.420
 beep, beep, beep, beep,

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:12.240
 tracking their heartbeat.

00:24:12.320 --> 00:24:12.779
 As long as they've

00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:13.180
 got a heartbeat,

00:24:13.320 --> 00:24:13.860
 everything's good.

00:24:14.860 --> 00:24:16.259
 But when the heart

00:24:16.259 --> 00:24:16.900
 stops,

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:18.759
 the EKG flatlines

00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.500
 and goes,

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:20.279
 beep.

00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:24.420
 No heartbeat.

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:29.420
 The church in Sardis

00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:31.560
 was flatlined.

00:24:32.220 --> 00:24:32.740
 Beep.

00:24:33.180 --> 00:24:33.660
 Beep.

00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:35.759
 Their compromise

00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:36.940
 is a compromise

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:39.200
 induced death coma.

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:44.759
 Now, by God's grace,

00:24:44.840 --> 00:24:45.480
 I don't believe

00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:46.160
 Christ the King

00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:47.120
 church is flatlining.

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:48.320
 It's by His grace.

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:50.519
 But here's what I do know.

00:24:51.560 --> 00:24:53.060
 We're just one

00:24:53.060 --> 00:24:54.100
 letting go of the rope

00:24:54.100 --> 00:24:55.000
 away from gliding.

00:24:56.080 --> 00:24:58.259
 We're on the edge,

00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.380
 always on the edge,

00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:00.539
 of letting go

00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:01.000
 of the rope,

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:01.680
 letting go

00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:03.319
 of our power source,

00:25:03.460 --> 00:25:04.480
 Jesus and His Spirit.

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:06.119
 We can just let go

00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:06.920
 and we can glide

00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:07.539
 for a while.

00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:11.099
 But in the sight of God,

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:11.579
 we're beginning

00:25:11.579 --> 00:25:12.519
 to flatline.

00:25:15.660 --> 00:25:16.539
 Compromising Christ

00:25:16.539 --> 00:25:17.339
 in our walks,

00:25:17.700 --> 00:25:18.859
 compromising Christ

00:25:18.859 --> 00:25:20.119
 in our witness.

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:21.519
 It's letting go

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:22.079
 of the rope.

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:25.319
 We're starting

00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:26.000
 to flatline.

00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:27.059
 We're denying

00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:27.839
 His power.

00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:28.339
 We're denying

00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:35.000
 this is a sharp criticism.

00:25:36.180 --> 00:25:36.980
 You think

00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:38.599
 you are alive,

00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:39.759
 but I know

00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:40.400
 you're dead.

00:25:41.700 --> 00:25:42.720
 Could you imagine

00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:43.759
 receiving this letter

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:44.539
 if you're Sardis?

00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:46.740
 Here's what Jesus

00:25:46.740 --> 00:25:47.220
 is doing.

00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:48.819
 He's calling

00:25:48.819 --> 00:25:49.700
 this church out.

00:25:50.059 --> 00:25:50.460
 He's saying

00:25:50.460 --> 00:25:51.059
 to this church,

00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:52.619
 okay, church,

00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:54.380
 you've got to decide.

00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:56.119
 You've got to decide

00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:58.240
 what you think

00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:59.680
 others are saying

00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:00.779
 about you is true

00:26:00.779 --> 00:26:02.340
 or are you going

00:26:02.340 --> 00:26:02.880
 to believe

00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:03.880
 my word

00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:05.539
 and what I'm saying

00:26:05.539 --> 00:26:06.120
 about you

00:26:06.120 --> 00:26:06.720
 is true.

00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:08.120
 You pick.

00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:12.900
 Their compromise

00:26:12.900 --> 00:26:13.660
 had led to

00:26:13.660 --> 00:26:14.980
 a self-deception.

00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:16.720
 They think that

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.380
 they're spiritually

00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:18.299
 rocking it,

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:20.700
 but they're spiritually

00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:21.860
 flatlining it.

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:24.560
 This is his criticism.

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:26.100
 But you know

00:26:26.100 --> 00:26:27.019
 what I'm so grateful for?

00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:29.080
 He doesn't leave it

00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:29.480
 at that.

00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:31.299
 This church

00:26:31.299 --> 00:26:31.879
 whom Jesus

00:26:31.879 --> 00:26:32.960
 criticizes,

00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:35.279
 he provides

00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:36.799
 correction.

00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:38.659
 And it's

00:26:38.659 --> 00:26:40.259
 life-giving correction.

00:26:40.819 --> 00:26:42.079
 This is words

00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:43.559
 from the uncompromising

00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:44.039
 Christ

00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:45.279
 committed to his church.

00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:46.819
 But I've got to tell you

00:26:46.819 --> 00:26:47.159
 up front,

00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:48.879
 they're a bit shocking.

00:26:52.259 --> 00:26:53.439
 In verses 2 and 3,

00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:54.399
 we see the correction.

00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:59.300
 Jesus speaks

00:26:59.300 --> 00:27:02.560
 five shocking commands

00:27:02.560 --> 00:27:04.100
 to revive

00:27:04.100 --> 00:27:05.820
 a flatlining church.

00:27:06.040 --> 00:27:06.860
 We've talked about

00:27:06.860 --> 00:27:08.100
 the EKG machine.

00:27:08.420 --> 00:27:09.240
 Let's talk about

00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:11.980
 the AED machine,

00:27:12.360 --> 00:27:13.700
 automated external

00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:14.680
 defibrillator.

00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:16.600
 What these things do

00:27:16.600 --> 00:27:17.380
 is they basically,

00:27:17.780 --> 00:27:19.460
 you stick patches

00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:20.620
 on either side

00:27:20.620 --> 00:27:21.600
 of a person's heart

00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:22.379
 whose heart

00:27:22.379 --> 00:27:23.159
 has stopped beating

00:27:23.159 --> 00:27:24.279
 and they're hooked up

00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:24.879
 to a machine

00:27:24.879 --> 00:27:25.839
 that generates

00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:27.000
 an electric charge

00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:27.939
 and that machine

00:27:27.939 --> 00:27:28.799
 on its own

00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:30.000
 decides to when

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:31.079
 it releases

00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:31.899
 the charge

00:27:31.899 --> 00:27:33.079
 and then the charge

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:34.259
 goes through one part

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:34.959
 of one's chest

00:27:34.959 --> 00:27:35.959
 through the heart

00:27:35.959 --> 00:27:36.939
 to the other part

00:27:36.939 --> 00:27:37.740
 of that patch

00:27:37.740 --> 00:27:38.799
 and it's designed

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:40.099
 to jumpstart

00:27:40.099 --> 00:27:42.219
 a flatlined heart.

00:27:43.779 --> 00:27:45.119
 It's shocking.

00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.039
 And that's what

00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:48.919
 these five commands

00:27:48.919 --> 00:27:50.359
 are to this church.

00:27:51.059 --> 00:27:52.419
 Jesus loves this church

00:27:52.419 --> 00:27:54.779
 and so he is going

00:27:54.779 --> 00:27:55.859
 to shock them,

00:27:56.439 --> 00:27:57.619
 to revive them,

00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:59.159
 to bring them back

00:27:59.159 --> 00:28:00.379
 to life.

00:28:00.579 --> 00:28:01.259
 Here they are.

00:28:02.059 --> 00:28:02.599
 Verse 2,

00:28:02.959 --> 00:28:03.319
 he says,

00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:04.439
 wake up,

00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:06.500
 rouse yourself,

00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:08.579
 see what's going on.

00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:11.059
 You're comatose.

00:28:12.939 --> 00:28:13.979
 You've compromised.

00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:16.439
 Two,

00:28:16.919 --> 00:28:18.439
 strengthen what remains.

00:28:18.959 --> 00:28:20.579
 Don't just wake up.

00:28:21.159 --> 00:28:22.539
 Strengthen what remains.

00:28:22.959 --> 00:28:24.559
 Strengthen those

00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:25.599
 who are remaining

00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:27.359
 to live exclusively

00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:28.279
 for me

00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:29.619
 and strengthen those

00:28:29.619 --> 00:28:30.819
 who are willing

00:28:30.819 --> 00:28:31.979
 to live exclusively

00:28:31.979 --> 00:28:32.639
 for me.

00:28:33.299 --> 00:28:34.979
 Strengthen them.

00:28:36.099 --> 00:28:37.399
 How do you strengthen them?

00:28:38.259 --> 00:28:39.339
 How do we strengthen

00:28:39.339 --> 00:28:39.879
 one another?

00:28:40.859 --> 00:28:41.939
 How do we strengthen

00:28:41.939 --> 00:28:42.599
 one another

00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:44.759
 in our living

00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:45.339
 for Jesus?

00:28:46.439 --> 00:28:46.799
 Well,

00:28:46.859 --> 00:28:47.319
 at this church,

00:28:47.379 --> 00:28:47.939
 that's why we have

00:28:47.939 --> 00:28:48.500
 life groups,

00:28:48.879 --> 00:28:49.679
 to be honest with you.

00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:50.639
 Life groups

00:28:50.639 --> 00:28:52.240
 are groups of Christians

00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:54.240
 who kind of work

00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:55.500
 around this book

00:28:55.500 --> 00:28:56.319
 because this book

00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:57.379
 gives life.

00:29:00.379 --> 00:29:01.379
 And these are groups

00:29:01.379 --> 00:29:01.819
 of Christians

00:29:01.819 --> 00:29:02.299
 who are seeking

00:29:02.299 --> 00:29:03.159
 to live out

00:29:03.159 --> 00:29:03.839
 their lives,

00:29:03.919 --> 00:29:04.459
 their walks

00:29:04.459 --> 00:29:05.459
 for the glory

00:29:05.459 --> 00:29:05.959
 of Jesus.

00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:06.160
 Jesus.

00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:08.940
 And for our life groups,

00:29:08.940 --> 00:29:09.900
 it requires

00:29:09.900 --> 00:29:10.880
 a proximity

00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:11.840
 in which these

00:29:11.840 --> 00:29:12.700
 groups of people

00:29:12.700 --> 00:29:13.680
 are coming together

00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:14.620
 on a regular basis.

00:29:15.380 --> 00:29:16.259
 And it requires

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:16.860
 an honesty

00:29:16.860 --> 00:29:17.600
 with one another.

00:29:18.579 --> 00:29:19.700
 This is my life.

00:29:21.019 --> 00:29:22.059
 This is the hardships

00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:22.579
 I'm facing.

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:23.559
 This is the temptations

00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:24.299
 I'm dealing with.

00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:25.720
 And the reason why

00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:26.380
 we're honest

00:29:26.380 --> 00:29:27.140
 with each other

00:29:27.140 --> 00:29:28.500
 is so that we can

00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:29.840
 strengthen one another.

00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:31.220
 We can encourage

00:29:31.220 --> 00:29:31.940
 one another.

00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:33.500
 We can say to one another,

00:29:33.500 --> 00:29:34.220
 oh man,

00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:34.880
 that temptation

00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:36.440
 is real, brother.

00:29:36.819 --> 00:29:37.420
 But let me just

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:37.980
 remind you

00:29:37.980 --> 00:29:39.099
 that your Lord Jesus

00:29:39.099 --> 00:29:39.880
 who died for you,

00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:41.380
 he is worth it all.

00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:43.799
 Don't give up.

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:45.180
 Press on through.

00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:46.220
 How can I help?

00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:46.859
 Let's pray.

00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:49.359
 We strengthen

00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:50.000
 one another,

00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:51.500
 pointing to each other

00:29:51.500 --> 00:29:52.319
 to this book

00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:54.400
 so that it can have

00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:55.500
 its intended effect

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:56.700
 to give us strength

00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:57.500
 to persevere.

00:29:59.039 --> 00:29:59.819
 We strengthen

00:29:59.819 --> 00:30:00.279
 each other.

00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:01.420
 And then the third

00:30:01.420 --> 00:30:02.079
 shock

00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:03.759
 is that word

00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:04.899
 remember.

00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:06.079
 Verse 3.

00:30:06.679 --> 00:30:07.399
 Remember then

00:30:07.399 --> 00:30:08.480
 what you have received

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:09.240
 and heard.

00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:11.199
 Remember what you've

00:30:11.199 --> 00:30:12.059
 received and heard.

00:30:12.399 --> 00:30:13.179
 What you've heard

00:30:13.179 --> 00:30:15.439
 is from the apostles

00:30:15.439 --> 00:30:16.359
 the gospel

00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:17.279
 in its fullness.

00:30:17.899 --> 00:30:18.779
 Apostolic teaching

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:19.460
 of the gospel.

00:30:19.879 --> 00:30:21.279
 And part of that teaching

00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:22.399
 is teaching on

00:30:22.399 --> 00:30:23.220
 the Holy Spirit

00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:24.939
 whom they have received

00:30:24.939 --> 00:30:26.699
 when they were saved.

00:30:28.339 --> 00:30:29.179
 The Holy Spirit

00:30:29.179 --> 00:30:30.779
 is in them

00:30:30.779 --> 00:30:32.160
 to produce

00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:33.000
 holiness

00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:35.759
 and bold witness.

00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:39.960
 Remember.

00:30:40.899 --> 00:30:42.399
 The tense in the Greek

00:30:42.399 --> 00:30:44.539
 is keep on remembering.

00:30:46.379 --> 00:30:47.700
 Don't stop

00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:48.899
 remembering.

00:30:48.899 --> 00:30:49.099
 Remembering.

00:30:52.379 --> 00:30:53.799
 Remember the life-giving

00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:54.700
 doctrine of

00:30:54.700 --> 00:30:55.879
 biblical Christianity

00:30:55.879 --> 00:30:57.339
 says Jesus

00:30:57.339 --> 00:30:58.680
 to this church

00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:00.299
 seeking to revive them.

00:31:00.779 --> 00:31:03.000
 remember my words.

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:06.920
 And just don't remember.

00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:09.740
 Next shock.

00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:11.279
 Keep it.

00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:13.039
 And again

00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:14.019
 the tense in Greek

00:31:14.019 --> 00:31:15.319
 is keep on

00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:16.099
 keeping it.

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:18.899
 Hold fast

00:31:18.899 --> 00:31:20.559
 to what you have heard

00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:21.920
 until I come.

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:23.859
 Revelation 2.25

00:31:23.859 --> 00:31:25.639
 hold fast

00:31:25.639 --> 00:31:26.599
 to the gospel.

00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:27.659
 Hold fast

00:31:27.659 --> 00:31:28.639
 to me

00:31:28.639 --> 00:31:29.539
 Sardis.

00:31:30.219 --> 00:31:31.359
 Prioritize me.

00:31:31.779 --> 00:31:32.279
 Protect

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:33.519
 our relationship.

00:31:34.019 --> 00:31:35.240
 I'm your first love.

00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:36.240
 Hold on.

00:31:36.579 --> 00:31:37.500
 Don't let go

00:31:37.500 --> 00:31:38.059
 of me.

00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:39.199
 I am

00:31:39.199 --> 00:31:40.439
 what you need.

00:31:44.159 --> 00:31:45.359
 We can only live

00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:46.000
 for one thing

00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:46.839
 brothers and sisters.

00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:48.599
 There's only one thing

00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:49.639
 that warrants

00:31:49.639 --> 00:31:50.459
 our ultimate

00:31:50.459 --> 00:31:51.559
 all-encompassing

00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:51.979
 devotion.

00:31:51.980 --> 00:31:53.099
 and Jesus

00:31:53.099 --> 00:31:54.720
 makes no

00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:56.599
 has no reservations

00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:57.099
 in saying

00:31:57.099 --> 00:31:57.900
 it's me.

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:01.000
 I'm your treasure.

00:32:01.360 --> 00:32:02.200
 I'm your life.

00:32:02.620 --> 00:32:03.519
 I'm your everything.

00:32:05.120 --> 00:32:05.819
 Keep it.

00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:07.259
 Don't let go.

00:32:07.579 --> 00:32:08.180
 Hold on

00:32:08.180 --> 00:32:08.880
 to Jesus.

00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:12.279
 Keep on

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:13.380
 keeping on.

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:14.880
 And the last

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:15.420
 zap

00:32:15.420 --> 00:32:17.279
 is that word

00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:18.480
 repent.

00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:22.039
 keep it

00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:23.599
 and repent.

00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:25.559
 What Jesus

00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:26.400
 is talking about

00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:27.440
 is a decisive

00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:28.339
 turning away

00:32:28.339 --> 00:32:29.079
 from compromise.

00:32:29.579 --> 00:32:31.000
 If you're aware

00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:31.660
 of where you're

00:32:31.660 --> 00:32:32.200
 compromising

00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:33.140
 your life right now

00:32:33.140 --> 00:32:33.960
 what Jesus

00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:34.339
 is saying

00:32:34.339 --> 00:32:35.099
 hey don't linger

00:32:35.099 --> 00:32:35.460
 there.

00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:37.180
 Don't feed

00:32:37.180 --> 00:32:37.980
 that little pet.

00:32:38.860 --> 00:32:39.660
 Don't house

00:32:39.660 --> 00:32:40.440
 that little pet.

00:32:41.380 --> 00:32:42.059
 Kick it out.

00:32:43.740 --> 00:32:44.599
 Turn from it.

00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:46.599
 And when you

00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:47.759
 turn from your

00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:49.339
 compromise

00:32:49.339 --> 00:32:49.980
 you're going to

00:32:49.980 --> 00:32:50.699
 turn to the

00:32:50.699 --> 00:32:51.480
 living Christ.

00:32:53.719 --> 00:32:54.459
 One of my

00:32:54.459 --> 00:32:54.799
 favorite

00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:56.059
 Psalms

00:32:56.059 --> 00:32:56.539
 is Psalm

00:32:56.539 --> 00:32:57.779
 119

00:32:57.779 --> 00:32:58.639
 and in

00:32:58.639 --> 00:32:59.279
 verses 59

00:32:59.279 --> 00:32:59.819
 and 60

00:32:59.819 --> 00:33:00.679
 we read this

00:33:00.679 --> 00:33:02.240
 when I think

00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:03.019
 on my ways

00:33:03.019 --> 00:33:04.159
 when I think

00:33:04.159 --> 00:33:05.059
 on my compromise

00:33:05.059 --> 00:33:08.199
 I turn my feet

00:33:08.199 --> 00:33:09.439
 to your testimonies.

00:33:10.879 --> 00:33:11.399
 Turn.

00:33:12.179 --> 00:33:12.480
 And then in

00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:13.079
 verse 60

00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.120
 I hasten

00:33:15.120 --> 00:33:15.700
 and do not

00:33:15.700 --> 00:33:16.099
 delay

00:33:16.099 --> 00:33:16.599
 to keep

00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:17.160
 your commandments.

00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:18.759
 Not only

00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:19.039
 do I

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:19.860
 turn away

00:33:19.860 --> 00:33:20.420
 from my

00:33:20.420 --> 00:33:20.839
 compromise

00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:21.740
 and turn

00:33:21.740 --> 00:33:22.500
 to your

00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:23.220
 testimonies

00:33:23.220 --> 00:33:25.000
 I go.

00:33:26.420 --> 00:33:27.980
 I move.

00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:28.759
 I don't

00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:29.099
 linger.

00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:29.740
 I'm not

00:33:29.740 --> 00:33:30.539
 slow about it.

00:33:30.660 --> 00:33:31.299
 I hasten

00:33:31.299 --> 00:33:31.940
 and do not

00:33:31.940 --> 00:33:32.339
 delay

00:33:32.339 --> 00:33:32.839
 to keep

00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:33.460
 your commandments.

00:33:35.059 --> 00:33:35.700
 Repentance

00:33:35.700 --> 00:33:36.539
 is a turning

00:33:36.539 --> 00:33:37.180
 from your

00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:37.720
 compromise

00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:38.880
 and a

00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:40.000
 turning to

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:41.279
 with thrusters

00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:42.539
 on full blast

00:33:42.539 --> 00:33:43.600
 to Jesus.

00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:46.319
 Don't

00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:46.819
 linger

00:33:46.819 --> 00:33:47.579
 in your

00:33:47.579 --> 00:33:48.140
 compromise.

00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:50.640
 Repent.

00:33:51.339 --> 00:33:52.180
 These five

00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:52.640
 commands

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:53.259
 they are

00:33:53.259 --> 00:33:54.240
 the verbal

00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:55.079
 shock

00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:55.880
 to revive

00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:56.360
 this

00:33:56.360 --> 00:33:57.100
 flatline

00:33:57.100 --> 00:33:57.660
 church.

00:33:59.600 --> 00:34:00.319
 And we

00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:00.839
 also see

00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:01.980
 this warning

00:34:01.980 --> 00:34:02.500
 in verse

00:34:02.500 --> 00:34:03.059
 3.

00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:04.620
 If you

00:34:04.620 --> 00:34:05.079
 will not

00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:05.620
 wake up

00:34:05.619 --> 00:34:06.599
 if you

00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:07.359
 will not

00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:08.199
 respond to

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:08.460
 what I'm

00:34:08.460 --> 00:34:08.900
 saying

00:34:08.900 --> 00:34:09.859
 if you

00:34:09.859 --> 00:34:10.159
 will

00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:10.639
 just

00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:11.139
 kind of

00:34:11.139 --> 00:34:11.759
 arch your

00:34:11.759 --> 00:34:12.099
 back

00:34:12.099 --> 00:34:12.819
 at this

00:34:12.819 --> 00:34:14.940
 I will

00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:15.279
 come like

00:34:15.279 --> 00:34:15.699
 a thief

00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:17.219
 and you

00:34:17.219 --> 00:34:17.539
 will not

00:34:17.539 --> 00:34:18.059
 know the

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:18.779
 hour I

00:34:18.779 --> 00:34:19.400
 come

00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:20.420
 against

00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:20.819
 you.

00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:23.179
 The one

00:34:23.179 --> 00:34:23.819
 who is

00:34:23.819 --> 00:34:24.679
 holding out

00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:25.440
 life

00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:26.279
 to his

00:34:26.279 --> 00:34:26.799
 church

00:34:26.799 --> 00:34:28.880
 in mercy

00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.000
 in love

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:30.559
 and in

00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:31.039
 grace

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:32.440
 says

00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:33.099
 hey if

00:34:33.099 --> 00:34:33.500
 you're not

00:34:33.500 --> 00:34:33.719
 going to

00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:34.339
 respond to

00:34:34.339 --> 00:34:34.639
 this

00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:35.219
 I'm

00:34:35.219 --> 00:34:35.400
 going to

00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:35.719
 come

00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:36.019
 at a

00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:36.199
 time

00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:36.359
 where

00:34:36.359 --> 00:34:36.480
 you

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:36.739
 don't

00:34:36.739 --> 00:34:37.059
 know

00:34:37.059 --> 00:34:38.519
 I'm

00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:38.639
 going to

00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:38.799
 come

00:34:38.799 --> 00:34:39.179
 against

00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:39.460
 you.

00:34:39.779 --> 00:34:40.039
 It's

00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:40.400
 akin to

00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:40.639
 what he

00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:40.859
 says

00:34:40.859 --> 00:34:41.019
 in

00:34:41.019 --> 00:34:41.539
 Ephesus

00:34:41.539 --> 00:34:43.759
 in

00:34:43.759 --> 00:34:44.819
 verse

00:34:44.819 --> 00:34:49.619
 5

00:34:49.619 --> 00:34:53.879
 if

00:34:53.879 --> 00:34:54.179
 not

00:34:54.179 --> 00:34:54.420
 if

00:34:54.420 --> 00:34:54.519
 you

00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:54.719
 don't

00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:55.079
 repent

00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:55.440
 Ephesus

00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:55.779
 I'll

00:34:55.779 --> 00:34:56.099
 come

00:34:56.099 --> 00:34:56.339
 to

00:34:56.339 --> 00:34:56.539
 you

00:34:56.539 --> 00:34:56.759
 and

00:34:56.759 --> 00:34:57.059
 remove

00:34:57.059 --> 00:34:57.239
 your

00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:57.480
 lamb

00:34:57.480 --> 00:34:57.719
 stand

00:34:57.719 --> 00:34:57.940
 from

00:34:57.940 --> 00:34:58.119
 its

00:34:58.119 --> 00:34:58.559
 place.

00:35:02.420 --> 00:35:02.920
 Jesus

00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:03.159
 is

00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:03.359
 going to

00:35:03.359 --> 00:35:03.559
 come

00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:03.960
 against

00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:04.220
 this

00:35:04.220 --> 00:35:04.500
 church

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:04.760
 if

00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:04.920
 they

00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:05.139
 don't

00:35:05.139 --> 00:35:05.800
 respond

00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:06.340
 to

00:35:06.340 --> 00:35:06.579
 his

00:35:06.579 --> 00:35:06.900
 life

00:35:06.900 --> 00:35:07.179
 giving

00:35:07.179 --> 00:35:07.699
 words

00:35:07.699 --> 00:35:08.220
 and

00:35:08.220 --> 00:35:08.360
 it

00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:08.619
 seems

00:35:08.619 --> 00:35:08.780
 as

00:35:08.780 --> 00:35:08.940
 though

00:35:08.940 --> 00:35:09.199
 in

00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:09.440
 the

00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:10.039
 thinking

00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:10.260
 of

00:35:10.260 --> 00:35:10.519
 Jesus

00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:10.740
 it

00:35:10.740 --> 00:35:10.900
 goes

00:35:10.900 --> 00:35:11.179
 something

00:35:11.179 --> 00:35:11.420
 like

00:35:11.420 --> 00:35:11.740
 this

00:35:11.740 --> 00:35:13.199
 better

00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:13.559
 no

00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:14.099
 church

00:35:14.099 --> 00:35:15.139
 than

00:35:15.139 --> 00:35:15.320
 a

00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:15.780
 compromised

00:35:15.780 --> 00:35:16.539
 church

00:35:16.539 --> 00:35:17.440
 that

00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:17.559
 is

00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:17.860
 unwilling

00:35:17.860 --> 00:35:18.099
 to

00:35:18.099 --> 00:35:18.559
 repent

00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:19.220
 and

00:35:19.220 --> 00:35:19.360
 is

00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:19.820
 confusing

00:35:19.820 --> 00:35:20.480
 everybody

00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:21.099
 about

00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:21.300
 who

00:35:21.300 --> 00:35:21.500
 I

00:35:21.500 --> 00:35:21.780
 am.

00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:28.240
 What a

00:35:28.240 --> 00:35:28.539
 Jesus.

00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:30.460
 He's

00:35:30.460 --> 00:35:31.000
 simultaneously

00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:31.559
 giving

00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:31.860
 this

00:35:31.860 --> 00:35:32.119
 church

00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:32.300
 an

00:35:32.300 --> 00:35:32.699
 opportunity

00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:32.980
 to

00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:43.179
 some

00:44:43.179 --> 00:44:43.579
 kinds of

00:44:43.579 --> 00:44:44.099
 compromise

00:44:44.099 --> 00:44:45.019
 well they're

00:44:45.019 --> 00:44:45.400
 good and

00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:45.679
 normal

00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:47.860
 then there's

00:44:47.860 --> 00:44:48.539
 the compromise

00:44:48.539 --> 00:44:50.239
 of loyalty

00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:51.039
 to Jesus

00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:52.880
 Christ the

00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:53.039
 King

00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:53.500
 church

00:44:53.500 --> 00:44:55.679
 may by the

00:44:55.679 --> 00:44:56.579
 power of

00:44:56.579 --> 00:44:57.159
 God's

00:44:57.159 --> 00:44:57.699
 spirit

00:44:57.699 --> 00:44:59.019
 the seven

00:44:59.019 --> 00:44:59.819
 spirits of

00:44:59.819 --> 00:45:00.340
 God in

00:45:00.340 --> 00:45:00.759
 all his

00:45:00.759 --> 00:45:01.099
 fullness

00:45:01.099 --> 00:45:03.219
 we

00:45:03.219 --> 00:45:04.719
 must

00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:05.659
 be

00:45:05.659 --> 00:45:06.340
 the

00:45:06.340 --> 00:45:08.179
 uncompromised

00:45:08.179 --> 00:45:08.860
 few

00:45:08.860 --> 00:45:10.840
 who walk

00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:11.980
 blamelessly

00:45:11.980 --> 00:45:13.559
 and who

00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:14.119
 witness

00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:15.219
 boldly

00:45:15.219 --> 00:45:17.360
 because

00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:18.559
 Jesus

00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:20.039
 is

00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:21.360
 worth it

00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:23.179
 let's pray

00:45:23.179 --> 00:45:28.179
