00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.980
 There is this strip along I-65 between Indy and Chicago.

00:00:07.179 --> 00:00:08.060
 Maybe you've driven it.

00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:12.599
 When you're driving along, if you're in the right lane,

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:16.320
 there is the emergency lane and there is this rumble strip.

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:19.820
 Maybe you notice the title of the sermon,

00:00:20.339 --> 00:00:24.740
 an introductory apostolic rumble strip.

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.839
 That's what Galatians 1-9 is.

00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.619
 A rumble strip is to snap you out of it

00:00:33.619 --> 00:00:36.820
 when you're drifting on a road like I-65.

00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:39.799
 If your tires come and hit that rumble strip,

00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.460
 which is these slats built into the road,

00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:47.980
 it's going to get loud and it's going to get rumbly really quick.

00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:49.799
 Not only do you hear it, you feel it.

00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.679
 A rumble strip is a built-in warning system

00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.079
 that you're leaving the safety of a roadway

00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:00.619
 and that you're approaching danger.

00:01:03.019 --> 00:01:05.980
 These verses at the beginning of Galatians

00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:09.859
 is an apostolic rumble strip for Christians.

00:01:10.859 --> 00:01:13.260
 You can sum up these verses like this.

00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:17.319
 There is only one true gospel

00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:21.359
 through which God delivers sinners from beginning to end.

00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.739
 And we must not turn from it.

00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.459
 There's only one gospel

00:01:27.459 --> 00:01:30.500
 through which God delivers sinners from beginning to end

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:33.879
 and we must not turn from it.

00:01:34.180 --> 00:01:36.060
 There's a lot of other false gospels out there.

00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:42.560
 A lot of people proclaiming man-centered ways

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.439
 with false hopes of self-salvation,

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.200
 but not the one true gospel.

00:01:49.700 --> 00:01:53.399
 These false gospels distort the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.900
 A distorted gospel is no gospel at all.

00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.120
 It doesn't free, it only enslaves.

00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.299
 In Galatians 1, 1-9,

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:06.819
 we're going to see a progression.

00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.979
 The apostle Paul in verses 1-2,

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.180
 he introduces himself

00:02:11.180 --> 00:02:13.419
 with that word apostle.

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:15.240
 We're going to key on that.

00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:16.639
 And then from there,

00:02:16.939 --> 00:02:19.780
 he is going to move from introducing himself,

00:02:20.259 --> 00:02:21.939
 God's gospel man,

00:02:22.259 --> 00:02:24.180
 to God's gospel message.

00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:26.180
 In verses 3, 4, and 5,

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.500
 he lays out for us the gospel,

00:02:29.460 --> 00:02:30.439
 the details of it.

00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:34.300
 And then from gospel,

00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.759
 he moves to warning,

00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:38.259
 the rumble strip.

00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:40.939
 And that's in verses 6-9,

00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.439
 and that's where you see him say,

00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:44.840
 I am astonished.

00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:47.659
 And then he wraps up twice saying,

00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:48.939
 let him be accursed,

00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:50.000
 let him be accursed.

00:02:50.259 --> 00:02:51.400
 God damn him,

00:02:52.139 --> 00:02:52.900
 is what he's saying.

00:02:53.659 --> 00:02:54.599
 Strong language.

00:02:55.859 --> 00:02:57.719
 It's an apostolic rumble strip.

00:02:59.620 --> 00:03:00.900
 All this movement,

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.079
 these three moves,

00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:03.879
 are making a claim.

00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.280
 There is only one gospel

00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:07.359
 that delivers sinners

00:03:07.359 --> 00:03:08.560
 from beginning to end,

00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.479
 and we must not turn from us.

00:03:12.799 --> 00:03:14.439
 Here's what I'm going after this morning.

00:03:14.620 --> 00:03:16.319
 My aim is that

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:17.319
 by the end of this sermon,

00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:18.219
 you will be leaving

00:03:18.219 --> 00:03:19.460
 with this sense of,

00:03:19.659 --> 00:03:21.519
 this sense of weight,

00:03:21.979 --> 00:03:22.960
 because we have an apostle

00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:23.879
 writing to us.

00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:25.359
 Not only just that,

00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:27.479
 the sense of worthy.

00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:27.519
 worthy,

00:03:28.099 --> 00:03:28.560
 worthy,

00:03:28.819 --> 00:03:30.219
 is this God

00:03:30.219 --> 00:03:31.359
 who has called us

00:03:31.359 --> 00:03:32.419
 by his grace,

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:34.359
 and then warning.

00:03:35.679 --> 00:03:37.099
 The stakes are high.

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:38.819
 When the apostle says,

00:03:39.179 --> 00:03:40.139
 God damn him,

00:03:40.699 --> 00:03:42.000
 that's getting at something

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:43.239
 very serious.

00:03:47.419 --> 00:03:49.039
 So let's turn to

00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.359
 verses 1 and 2.

00:03:51.699 --> 00:03:54.560
 The apostle Paul

00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:55.719
 introduces himself.

00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:57.039
 Paul,

00:03:58.039 --> 00:03:58.620
 an apostle.

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:02.479
 Who is this gospel man?

00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:05.740
 Well, from the very get-go,

00:04:06.099 --> 00:04:07.680
 why Paul is

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.340
 raising this word apostle

00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:10.439
 is that he's wanting

00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:10.960
 to make sure

00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:11.919
 the Galatian Christians

00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.960
 understand what he means

00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:15.300
 by the word apostle.

00:04:16.899 --> 00:04:18.279
 In a general sense,

00:04:18.540 --> 00:04:19.300
 apostle means

00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:20.420
 a sent out one.

00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:21.060
 So for example,

00:04:21.259 --> 00:04:21.899
 Jenny says,

00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:22.300
 Mike,

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:23.120
 hey Mike,

00:04:23.300 --> 00:04:24.680
 I'm sending you to festival

00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:25.840
 to get some toilet paper.

00:04:26.259 --> 00:04:27.699
 I am the apostle

00:04:27.699 --> 00:04:28.620
 of my lady.

00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:30.459
 Sent forth

00:04:30.459 --> 00:04:32.300
 on a mission.

00:04:33.699 --> 00:04:34.420
 And what you see

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:35.160
 in the New Testament,

00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.280
 what matters

00:04:38.280 --> 00:04:39.639
 for an apostle

00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.340
 is who sends you.

00:04:43.819 --> 00:04:44.439
 And so,

00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:45.740
 we see that played out

00:04:45.740 --> 00:04:46.439
 at the very beginning.

00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:47.100
 Paul,

00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:47.759
 an apostle,

00:04:47.899 --> 00:04:48.660
 not from man,

00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:50.139
 nor through man.

00:04:50.139 --> 00:04:50.560
 It didn't,

00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:51.639
 my apostleship

00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:52.800
 didn't originate

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:53.459
 with men,

00:04:53.620 --> 00:04:54.439
 nor was there

00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:55.500
 some kind of

00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:56.899
 ordination council

00:04:56.899 --> 00:04:57.899
 where the group of men

00:04:57.899 --> 00:04:58.800
 laid hands on me

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.319
 saying that I'm apostle.

00:05:00.899 --> 00:05:02.259
 My apostleship

00:05:02.259 --> 00:05:03.680
 does not come from men.

00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:04.800
 I was not sent

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.459
 from just an ordinary man.

00:05:08.659 --> 00:05:09.919
 He goes on to say,

00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:12.060
 but through Jesus Christ,

00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:13.699
 I'm an apostle

00:05:13.699 --> 00:05:15.779
 through Jesus Christ

00:05:15.779 --> 00:05:16.639
 in God the Father

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:17.300
 who raised him

00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:17.779
 from the dead.

00:05:17.779 --> 00:05:18.239
 When you hear

00:05:18.239 --> 00:05:18.679
 raised him

00:05:18.679 --> 00:05:19.179
 from the dead,

00:05:19.379 --> 00:05:20.019
 that is like

00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:20.839
 game changer,

00:05:20.979 --> 00:05:21.579
 the resurrection

00:05:21.579 --> 00:05:23.099
 of Jesus Christ.

00:05:23.219 --> 00:05:24.559
 It changes everything.

00:05:27.239 --> 00:05:27.879
 And this God

00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:28.959
 who raised Jesus

00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.019
 from the dead

00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:31.219
 through Christ

00:05:31.219 --> 00:05:33.679
 commissioned Paul

00:05:33.679 --> 00:05:34.679
 as an apostle.

00:05:35.659 --> 00:05:36.699
 Sent him out.

00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:37.659
 And you can read that

00:05:37.659 --> 00:05:39.659
 in Acts chapter 9.

00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:40.839
 Paul's on his way

00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:41.479
 to Damascus.

00:05:41.739 --> 00:05:42.799
 He's going to Damascus

00:05:42.799 --> 00:05:44.419
 to persecute the church

00:05:44.419 --> 00:05:45.579
 and Jesus totally

00:05:45.579 --> 00:05:46.879
 flips him by his grace,

00:05:47.219 --> 00:05:47.619
 converted,

00:05:47.779 --> 00:05:48.919
 commissioned to be

00:05:48.919 --> 00:05:50.419
 a proclaimer of Jesus

00:05:50.419 --> 00:05:51.759
 to build the church.

00:05:54.019 --> 00:05:55.759
 Flipped by the risen Christ.

00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.239
 Sent out as an apostle.

00:06:00.619 --> 00:06:02.059
 You can talk about

00:06:02.059 --> 00:06:02.919
 the word apostle

00:06:02.919 --> 00:06:04.659
 in the New Testament

00:06:04.659 --> 00:06:05.579
 along these lines.

00:06:05.779 --> 00:06:07.000
 There's two ways

00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.919
 the word apostle gets used.

00:06:09.059 --> 00:06:10.500
 There's the small a apostle,

00:06:11.239 --> 00:06:13.119
 which is like Barnabas

00:06:13.119 --> 00:06:14.279
 in Acts 13

00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:15.699
 who was sent out

00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:17.279
 by the church of Antioch.

00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.079
 That's a small a apostle.

00:06:19.599 --> 00:06:20.039
 It's kind of like

00:06:20.039 --> 00:06:21.159
 missionaries today.

00:06:22.159 --> 00:06:24.139
 But the capital a apostle

00:06:24.139 --> 00:06:25.779
 are those men

00:06:25.779 --> 00:06:27.119
 who were sent out

00:06:27.119 --> 00:06:27.659
 commissioned

00:06:27.659 --> 00:06:29.919
 by Jesus himself.

00:06:32.919 --> 00:06:34.359
 And Paul is claiming

00:06:34.359 --> 00:06:37.759
 to be a capital a apostle

00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.719
 here in verse 1

00:06:39.719 --> 00:06:40.939
 of Galatians.

00:06:40.939 --> 00:06:44.319
 He's clearly establishing

00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.040
 his apostolic authority.

00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:50.500
 Let me try to illustrate this.

00:06:50.719 --> 00:06:52.240
 My wife and I enjoy watching

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:53.920
 a crime and police show

00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:55.040
 called Blue Bloods.

00:06:55.660 --> 00:06:56.459
 And one of the

00:06:56.459 --> 00:06:58.019
 main characters

00:06:58.019 --> 00:06:58.800
 is a detective,

00:06:59.199 --> 00:06:59.939
 this hothead

00:06:59.939 --> 00:07:01.379
 named Danny Reagan.

00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:03.399
 And when Danny Reagan

00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:04.519
 shows up to an apartment

00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:05.579
 in the Bronx

00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:07.219
 or in Queens

00:07:07.219 --> 00:07:08.060
 or in Manhattan,

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:09.300
 he knocks on the door

00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:10.519
 and when somebody

00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:11.199
 looks through the door

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:11.759
 to see who he is,

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:12.539
 you know what they're looking at?

00:07:12.899 --> 00:07:13.680
 They're looking at

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.859
 his gold detective badge.

00:07:17.539 --> 00:07:17.979
 Legit.

00:07:18.819 --> 00:07:20.139
 He's there on official

00:07:20.139 --> 00:07:23.639
 New York City police business.

00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:26.799
 With the word apostle,

00:07:27.899 --> 00:07:29.639
 Paul is telling

00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:30.740
 the Galatians,

00:07:30.740 --> 00:07:32.899
 these churches in Galatians,

00:07:32.899 --> 00:07:34.739
 he is writing

00:07:34.739 --> 00:07:35.959
 on official

00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:39.639
 Jesus church building business.

00:07:40.099 --> 00:07:41.620
 And they must heed

00:07:41.620 --> 00:07:43.279
 what he is about to say

00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:44.899
 about the gospel.

00:07:47.099 --> 00:07:49.199
 So when we read these,

00:07:49.339 --> 00:07:51.099
 this first verse,

00:07:51.219 --> 00:07:52.000
 Paul an apostle,

00:07:52.139 --> 00:07:52.879
 not from man,

00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:53.699
 but through Jesus,

00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:55.739
 we've got to realize

00:07:55.739 --> 00:07:56.359
 what he's saying.

00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:57.539
 This is being written

00:07:57.539 --> 00:07:59.120
 by a capital A apostle.

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.319
 It's as authoritative

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.160
 today in the 21st century

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:05.860
 as it was then

00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:07.180
 in the first century.

00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:08.360
 So not only were

00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:09.060
 the Galatians

00:08:09.060 --> 00:08:09.980
 and the Galatian churches

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:10.720
 to heed

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:11.800
 what the apostle

00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:12.379
 was saying,

00:08:12.840 --> 00:08:14.879
 we must heed

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:15.939
 what the apostle

00:08:15.939 --> 00:08:18.019
 is about to tell us.

00:08:19.939 --> 00:08:20.819
 In Acts 2.32,

00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:22.019
 the early Christians,

00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:23.899
 they devoted themselves

00:08:23.899 --> 00:08:26.019
 to the apostles' teaching.

00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:28.680
 So must we.

00:08:29.780 --> 00:08:31.280
 Paul is writing

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:33.360
 as Christ's

00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:34.960
 apostolic spokesman.

00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.820
 He is God's gospel man

00:08:37.820 --> 00:08:39.779
 and we are to heed

00:08:39.779 --> 00:08:40.759
 what he's about to say.

00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:42.159
 We're to feel the weight

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:43.960
 of what he's about to say.

00:08:45.539 --> 00:08:46.500
 And here's what he's

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:47.139
 going to tell us.

00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:50.980
 There's only one gospel

00:08:50.980 --> 00:08:54.419
 by which God delivers

00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:55.940
 sinners from beginning

00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:56.500
 to end

00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:58.820
 and we must not turn

00:08:58.820 --> 00:08:59.240
 from it.

00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:03.679
 Which brings us to

00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.120
 verses 3-5.

00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:08.379
 God's gospel message.

00:09:08.539 --> 00:09:09.480
 Paul has moved from

00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:10.840
 introducing himself

00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:11.600
 in verse 1

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.860
 to the gospel itself

00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:16.039
 in verses 3-5.

00:09:16.100 --> 00:09:16.820
 And there's a connection.

00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:20.340
 When Jesus sent Paul out

00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:21.220
 as an apostle,

00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:24.019
 he didn't send him out

00:09:24.019 --> 00:09:25.279
 to go to festival foods.

00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:28.540
 He sent him out

00:09:28.540 --> 00:09:30.420
 to proclaim a message.

00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:34.180
 The message of a crucified

00:09:34.180 --> 00:09:36.399
 Messiah raised from the dead

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.540
 who delivers sinners

00:09:38.540 --> 00:09:39.899
 from beginning to end.

00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:42.860
 And so now this apostle

00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:44.940
 is basically saying

00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:45.720
 to these churches,

00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:46.340
 Okay gang,

00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:46.620
 let's,

00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:48.460
 just hear me out.

00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:49.860
 Let's get on the same page.

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.139
 I want to be clear

00:09:51.139 --> 00:09:53.440
 on what the gospel is

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.220
 before we start talking

00:09:55.220 --> 00:09:56.779
 about what the gospel isn't.

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:00.840
 And in verse 3,

00:10:00.940 --> 00:10:02.060
 Paul speaks these words

00:10:02.060 --> 00:10:02.600
 of blessing

00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:03.460
 to the Galatians.

00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:04.120
 He says,

00:10:04.800 --> 00:10:05.540
 Grace to you

00:10:05.540 --> 00:10:06.340
 in peace

00:10:06.340 --> 00:10:07.600
 from God

00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.720
 our Father

00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.519
 and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:10:11.660 --> 00:10:13.399
 I don't miss the hour.

00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:16.940
 Paul believes

00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:17.840
 that these Christians

00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.019
 in these churches

00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:21.920
 are actually believers.

00:10:22.460 --> 00:10:23.860
 At least most of them.

00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:26.200
 That they have

00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:27.879
 experienced God's

00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:29.340
 grace,

00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:31.080
 responded in faith,

00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:32.740
 but they're being misled.

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:37.660
 The hour.

00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.379
 But I'm going to show you

00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:39.720
 in a second

00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:40.720
 how verse 3

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.320
 relates to verses 4 and 5

00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:43.360
 because it's very important.

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.419
 In verses 4 and 5,

00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:48.379
 Paul actually states

00:10:48.379 --> 00:10:50.200
 the one true gospel.

00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.139
 He says,

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:52.740
 Here it is.

00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:55.120
 And it consists

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:55.980
 of several things.

00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:56.680
 I'm going to walk you

00:10:56.680 --> 00:10:57.139
 through it

00:10:57.139 --> 00:10:58.820
 so that you understand

00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:00.320
 what the gospel is,

00:11:00.580 --> 00:11:01.539
 so that you understand

00:11:01.539 --> 00:11:02.860
 what the gospel isn't.

00:11:04.259 --> 00:11:05.259
 It begins

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:07.399
 with the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:08.220
 This gospel,

00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:09.259
 this announcement

00:11:09.259 --> 00:11:10.600
 of good news

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.120
 is good news

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.720
 about the Lord Jesus Christ

00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:15.940
 at the end of verse 3.

00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:17.200
 He is the who

00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:18.259
 of verse 4.

00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:19.920
 The Lord Jesus Christ,

00:11:20.180 --> 00:11:20.740
 the gospel,

00:11:21.100 --> 00:11:21.840
 is not a message

00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:22.800
 about us.

00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:23.600
 It's a message

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.420
 about Jesus.

00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:29.680
 The Lord Jesus Christ.

00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:30.620
 The next thing

00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:31.340
 I want you to notice,

00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:32.680
 the gospel is a message

00:11:32.680 --> 00:11:34.040
 about the Lord Jesus Christ

00:11:34.040 --> 00:11:35.600
 who gave himself,

00:11:36.820 --> 00:11:37.379
 verse 4.

00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:38.200
 Now,

00:11:38.259 --> 00:11:39.040
 if you're not familiar

00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:40.039
 with the Bible at all,

00:11:40.099 --> 00:11:40.799
 that little phrase,

00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:41.659
 who gave himself,

00:11:42.179 --> 00:11:43.179
 is a way of talking

00:11:43.179 --> 00:11:44.879
 about Jesus voluntarily

00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:46.279
 giving himself up

00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:47.519
 to die on the cross.

00:11:47.699 --> 00:11:48.599
 It's shorthand

00:11:48.599 --> 00:11:49.179
 for talking about

00:11:49.179 --> 00:11:49.759
 Jesus' death

00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:50.379
 on the cross.

00:11:52.219 --> 00:11:53.120
 The gospel,

00:11:53.319 --> 00:11:54.219
 the announcing

00:11:54.219 --> 00:11:54.939
 of good news

00:11:54.939 --> 00:11:55.939
 has to do with Jesus

00:11:55.939 --> 00:11:57.279
 who died

00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.099
 on a Roman cross,

00:11:59.480 --> 00:11:59.919
 crucified.

00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:01.939
 It is a crazy thought

00:12:01.939 --> 00:12:03.139
 back in the day

00:12:03.139 --> 00:12:04.039
 that the Messiah

00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:05.319
 would be crucified

00:12:05.319 --> 00:12:08.219
 who gave himself.

00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:09.939
 voluntary.

00:12:10.079 --> 00:12:10.779
 And let me point out,

00:12:11.459 --> 00:12:12.039
 it's done.

00:12:13.259 --> 00:12:14.139
 He gave himself.

00:12:15.139 --> 00:12:15.839
 He died.

00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:18.039
 This is an announcement

00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:18.679
 of something

00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:19.439
 that's happened

00:12:19.439 --> 00:12:22.000
 and it changes everything.

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:25.559
 So this is a message

00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:26.159
 about Jesus.

00:12:26.459 --> 00:12:27.399
 It's about his death

00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:28.079
 on the cross.

00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:28.939
 And the next thing

00:12:28.939 --> 00:12:29.919
 we see is that

00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:30.699
 who gave himself

00:12:30.699 --> 00:12:32.439
 for our sins.

00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:33.839
 Our sins

00:12:33.839 --> 00:12:35.039
 are a way

00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:36.099
 in which we rebel

00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:37.820
 against the triune God

00:12:37.820 --> 00:12:38.700
 of the universe

00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:39.560
 and it carries

00:12:39.560 --> 00:12:41.060
 a capital punishment.

00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:42.779
 And so what we hear here

00:12:42.779 --> 00:12:44.320
 is this good news

00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:45.000
 about Jesus

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:45.940
 who gave himself

00:12:45.940 --> 00:12:48.060
 is his death

00:12:48.060 --> 00:12:50.899
 is a for our sins death.

00:12:51.860 --> 00:12:52.920
 Which is another way

00:12:52.920 --> 00:12:53.659
 of talking about

00:12:53.659 --> 00:12:55.860
 substitutionary death.

00:12:58.019 --> 00:12:59.879
 Jesus died on the cross

00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:02.100
 for our sins.

00:13:02.100 --> 00:13:02.379
 sins.

00:13:02.920 --> 00:13:04.060
 The death

00:13:04.060 --> 00:13:05.580
 that we deserved,

00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:08.300
 Jesus died for us

00:13:08.300 --> 00:13:09.600
 so that we could live

00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.379
 a life pleasing to God

00:13:11.379 --> 00:13:12.659
 that we were incapable

00:13:12.659 --> 00:13:13.620
 in and of ourselves.

00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:19.379
 This substitutionary death

00:13:19.379 --> 00:13:20.040
 of Christ,

00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:21.759
 it forgives all

00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:22.980
 who receive it by faith.

00:13:23.300 --> 00:13:24.259
 It forgives all

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:24.960
 of our sin,

00:13:25.300 --> 00:13:25.680
 past,

00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:26.300
 present,

00:13:26.580 --> 00:13:26.879
 future.

00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:28.720
 It is an amazing,

00:13:29.139 --> 00:13:30.480
 an amazing announcement.

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.139
 what God has done

00:13:32.139 --> 00:13:32.800
 for sinners.

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:35.500
 Paul keeps on going.

00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:39.960
 This Jesus

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:40.960
 who died

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.279
 a substitutionary death

00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:43.340
 for our sins

00:13:43.340 --> 00:13:45.120
 forgives us

00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.159
 but it's to deliver us.

00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:50.620
 To deliver us.

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.340
 The substitutionary death

00:13:56.340 --> 00:13:57.420
 of Jesus Christ

00:13:57.420 --> 00:13:58.100
 on the cross

00:13:58.100 --> 00:13:59.340
 is not just

00:13:59.340 --> 00:14:00.120
 a model

00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:01.300
 for how we are to live

00:14:01.300 --> 00:14:02.259
 to be nice to people.

00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:04.600
 The substitutionary death

00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:04.960
 of Jesus

00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:05.680
 on the cross

00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:08.360
 is God's power

00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:10.720
 to rescue sinners.

00:14:15.420 --> 00:14:16.279
 That word

00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:17.000
 deliver

00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.100
 literally means

00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:20.820
 to pluck out.

00:14:21.540 --> 00:14:22.740
 To pull out

00:14:22.740 --> 00:14:23.660
 of a trash can.

00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:26.040
 His death

00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:27.279
 that forgives us

00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:29.919
 also delivers us.

00:14:30.959 --> 00:14:31.500
 Delivers us

00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:32.120
 from what?

00:14:33.079 --> 00:14:33.919
 Well the next phrase

00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:35.299
 from this present evil age.

00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:36.699
 The cross

00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:37.799
 of Jesus Christ

00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:39.860
 powerfully delivers us

00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:41.559
 from the world.

00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.079
 This present evil age

00:14:45.079 --> 00:14:45.899
 Paul uses

00:14:45.899 --> 00:14:46.620
 a different word

00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:47.559
 for at the end

00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:48.620
 of the book of Galatians

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:49.339
 in 6.14

00:14:49.339 --> 00:14:49.759
 he says

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.839
 far be it for me

00:14:50.839 --> 00:14:51.620
 to boast

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:52.179
 in anything

00:14:52.179 --> 00:14:52.860
 except

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:54.120
 in the cross

00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:55.519
 of Jesus Christ

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:57.720
 by which

00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:58.560
 the world

00:14:58.560 --> 00:14:59.200
 has been crucified

00:14:59.200 --> 00:14:59.679
 to me

00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:00.759
 and I to the world.

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:01.899
 I've been delivered

00:15:01.899 --> 00:15:03.480
 is what he's saying.

00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.419
 The world

00:15:07.419 --> 00:15:09.120
 is organized

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.120
 humanity

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:11.860
 against God.

00:15:13.139 --> 00:15:14.659
 This present evil age

00:15:14.659 --> 00:15:15.600
 is organized

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:16.419
 humanity

00:15:16.419 --> 00:15:17.840
 living against God

00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:18.700
 between Jesus

00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:19.500
 first coming

00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:20.659
 and his second coming.

00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:23.000
 The present evil age.

00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.139
 this present evil age

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:26.159
 proclaims

00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:26.980
 gospels

00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:28.259
 that are man centered

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:29.679
 that are trying

00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:30.740
 are man made

00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:31.340
 attempts

00:15:31.340 --> 00:15:32.720
 for self salvation.

00:15:34.379 --> 00:15:35.440
 We've been delivered

00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:35.980
 from that

00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:40.100
 from this present evil age.

00:15:41.659 --> 00:15:42.740
 Paul continues

00:15:42.740 --> 00:15:43.740
 in explaining the gospel.

00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:44.659
 He says

00:15:44.659 --> 00:15:46.759
 all this deliverance

00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:47.600
 is according

00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:48.960
 to the will

00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:50.539
 of our God

00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:51.120
 and Father.

00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:52.240
 There's the hour again.

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:53.899
 Our God

00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:54.960
 and our Father.

00:15:55.220 --> 00:15:55.700
 That phrase

00:15:55.700 --> 00:15:56.299
 God and Father

00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:57.379
 shows up multiple times

00:15:57.379 --> 00:15:57.759
 in these

00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:58.759
 just few verses.

00:15:58.980 --> 00:15:59.860
 Our God

00:15:59.860 --> 00:16:00.860
 and Father.

00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:02.320
 Paul is saying

00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.120
 I'm part of this too.

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:06.240
 I am a Jewish apostle

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.740
 sent to the Gentiles

00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:08.860
 but I've been delivered

00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:10.279
 by the cross too

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.480
 out of this present evil age

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.379
 and into the family

00:16:14.379 --> 00:16:15.000
 of God.

00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:17.700
 When you see

00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:18.419
 that word

00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:19.299
 will

00:16:19.299 --> 00:16:21.120
 according to the will

00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:22.019
 of our God

00:16:22.019 --> 00:16:22.440
 and Father.

00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:23.360
 There should be

00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:24.120
 two words

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:25.000
 in your head.

00:16:25.299 --> 00:16:26.480
 Sovereign grace.

00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:29.860
 God's sovereign plan

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:31.220
 that depended

00:16:31.220 --> 00:16:32.279
 on nothing

00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:33.840
 on any of us

00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:34.980
 would ever do

00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:36.440
 to deliver us

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:38.220
 from sin

00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:39.720
 and its consequences.

00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:40.820
 God

00:16:40.820 --> 00:16:41.679
 in an act

00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:42.620
 of his

00:16:42.620 --> 00:16:43.899
 sovereign grace

00:16:43.899 --> 00:16:44.879
 sent

00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:45.720
 his son

00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:46.200
 Jesus

00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:47.240
 to die

00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:48.580
 in your place

00:16:48.580 --> 00:16:49.900
 to pluck you

00:16:49.900 --> 00:16:51.080
 from this present

00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:52.340
 evil age

00:16:52.340 --> 00:16:53.200
 in order to

00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:54.379
 place you

00:16:54.379 --> 00:16:55.520
 by his grace

00:16:55.520 --> 00:16:57.840
 into God's family.

00:16:59.180 --> 00:17:00.259
 It's good news.

00:17:03.540 --> 00:17:04.240
 Notice

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:05.600
 it's not by your will

00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:07.920
 God sent Jesus

00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.240
 to die for you.

00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:11.259
 It's according

00:17:11.259 --> 00:17:12.220
 to the will

00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:12.880
 of God

00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:14.620
 our Father

00:17:14.620 --> 00:17:15.759
 in grace

00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:17.359
 God

00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:18.279
 has pursued

00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:18.519
 you

00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:19.000
 brother and

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:19.279
 sister.

00:17:20.900 --> 00:17:21.920
 It wasn't like

00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:22.740
 he figured out

00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:23.379
 like two

00:17:23.379 --> 00:17:24.279
 years ago

00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:24.799
 that you were

00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:25.259
 a sinner

00:17:25.259 --> 00:17:25.740
 and he's like

00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:26.119
 oh I should

00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:26.480
 do something

00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:26.980
 about that.

00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:28.379
 From before

00:17:28.379 --> 00:17:28.940
 the foundation

00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:29.700
 of the world

00:17:29.700 --> 00:17:30.140
 God

00:17:30.140 --> 00:17:30.819
 in his grace

00:17:30.819 --> 00:17:31.960
 set his love

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:32.299
 on you

00:17:32.299 --> 00:17:32.859
 and has been

00:17:32.859 --> 00:17:34.039
 pursuing you

00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:35.619
 to pluck you

00:17:35.619 --> 00:17:36.400
 out of the world

00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.460
 and place you

00:17:37.460 --> 00:17:38.180
 into his family

00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:39.259
 by his grace.

00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:41.920
 His sovereign grace.

00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.940
 This is a gospel

00:17:45.940 --> 00:17:47.640
 about God

00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:49.000
 about what

00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:49.840
 God has done

00:17:49.840 --> 00:17:50.420
 about what

00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:51.279
 God is doing

00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:51.900
 to rescue

00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:52.820
 to deliver sinners

00:17:52.820 --> 00:17:53.360
 from beginning

00:17:53.360 --> 00:17:53.880
 to end

00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:55.500
 but it doesn't

00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:55.860
 end there

00:17:55.860 --> 00:17:56.620
 in verse 5

00:17:56.620 --> 00:17:58.500
 the result

00:17:58.500 --> 00:17:59.560
 of this gospel

00:17:59.560 --> 00:18:01.860
 when we receive

00:18:01.860 --> 00:18:02.400
 it by faith

00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:02.800
 because there's

00:18:02.800 --> 00:18:03.580
 nothing that

00:18:03.580 --> 00:18:04.320
 you can do

00:18:04.320 --> 00:18:05.160
 to earn

00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:06.220
 such a gospel

00:18:06.220 --> 00:18:07.039
 are you picking

00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:07.480
 up on that?

00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:08.220
 This is all

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:08.960
 God's grace

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.180
 from beginning

00:18:10.180 --> 00:18:10.700
 to end

00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:11.880
 there's nothing

00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:12.620
 it's not like

00:18:12.620 --> 00:18:13.240
 God can I write

00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:13.660
 you a check

00:18:13.660 --> 00:18:14.200
 for what Jesus

00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:14.500
 has done

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:15.180
 there's none

00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:15.580
 of that

00:18:15.580 --> 00:18:17.740
 the only way

00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:18.420
 to respond

00:18:18.420 --> 00:18:19.080
 is to receive

00:18:19.080 --> 00:18:19.900
 it by faith

00:18:19.900 --> 00:18:21.660
 and the result

00:18:21.660 --> 00:18:22.440
 is this

00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:23.420
 in verse 5

00:18:23.420 --> 00:18:25.259
 to whom

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:25.819
 be the glory

00:18:25.819 --> 00:18:26.519
 forever and ever

00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:26.840
 amen

00:18:26.840 --> 00:18:30.100
 gospel

00:18:30.100 --> 00:18:31.180
 results

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:32.220
 in God's

00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:32.740
 glory

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:34.580
 the one

00:18:34.580 --> 00:18:35.420
 true gospel

00:18:35.420 --> 00:18:36.440
 culminates

00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:37.539
 in the praise

00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:38.220
 of God

00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:39.920
 not man

00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:41.060
 because God

00:18:41.060 --> 00:18:42.180
 is the

00:18:42.180 --> 00:18:43.200
 one

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:43.800
 who is

00:18:43.800 --> 00:18:44.279
 acting

00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:44.900
 through

00:18:44.900 --> 00:18:45.720
 the gospel

00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:46.519
 to save

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:49.380
 we contribute

00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:49.820
 absolutely

00:18:49.820 --> 00:18:50.240
 nothing

00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:51.420
 to God

00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:52.420
 saving us

00:18:52.420 --> 00:18:54.240
 and therefore

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:54.920
 there's nothing

00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:55.480
 to boast

00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:56.039
 in in and of

00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:56.620
 ourselves

00:18:56.620 --> 00:19:00.220
 our boasting

00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:03.039
 is in

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:04.240
 the glory

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:04.860
 of God

00:19:04.859 --> 00:19:04.919
 God

00:19:04.919 --> 00:19:09.159
 we are saying

00:19:09.159 --> 00:19:10.179
 worthy is he

00:19:10.179 --> 00:19:12.099
 who pursued

00:19:12.099 --> 00:19:13.279
 us this way

00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:14.079
 and rescued us

00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:14.799
 this way

00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:15.519
 and delivered us

00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:16.359
 this way

00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:17.599
 worthy

00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:18.839
 is this

00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:19.599
 God

00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:20.399

00:19:20.399 --> 00:19:20.819
 to show you

00:19:20.819 --> 00:19:21.279
 the connection

00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:22.019
 between this

00:19:23.479 --> 00:19:24.240
 and what

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:25.000
 Paul says

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:25.679
 in verse 3

00:19:25.679 --> 00:19:26.359
 verse 3

00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:26.659
 he says

00:19:26.659 --> 00:19:27.419
 grace and peace

00:19:27.419 --> 00:19:27.819

00:19:27.819 --> 00:19:29.579

00:19:29.579 --> 00:19:30.119
 the connection

00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:30.939
 he says

00:19:39.479 --> 00:19:40.799
 ongoing well

00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:41.119

00:19:42.419 --> 00:19:42.899
 on

00:19:42.899 --> 00:19:43.899
 sourced

00:19:43.899 --> 00:19:44.799
 in the

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:45.239
 gospel

00:19:45.239 --> 00:19:47.399
 we live

 as

00:19:49.819 --> 00:19:50.579
 Christians

00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:51.679
 it's

00:19:51.679 --> 00:19:52.179
 it's not

00:19:52.179 --> 00:19:52.519
 like we

00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:52.919
 graduate

00:19:52.919 --> 00:19:53.779
 from the

 like the

00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:55.839
 gospel

00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:56.179
 is some

00:19:56.179 --> 00:19:56.679
 kind of

00:19:56.679 --> 00:19:57.719
 kind of

00:19:57.719 --> 00:19:58.679
 little

00:19:58.680 --> 00:19:59.440
 snack

00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:00.080
 before a

00:20:00.080 --> 00:20:00.320
 meal

00:20:00.320 --> 00:20:00.620
 and then

00:20:00.620 --> 00:20:00.820
 you get

00:20:00.820 --> 00:20:01.080
 to the

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:02.840
 the gospel

00:20:02.840 --> 00:20:03.299
 is the

00:20:03.299 --> 00:20:03.600
 meal

00:20:03.600 --> 00:20:04.900
 from

 Galatians

00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:14.259
 and us

00:20:14.259 --> 00:20:15.480
 what the

 gospel

00:20:16.019 --> 00:20:17.039
 is

00:20:22.860 --> 00:20:23.640
 it's about

00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:24.039
 Jesus

00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:24.519
 it's about

00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:24.779
 his

00:20:24.779 --> 00:20:25.480
 death

00:20:26.060 --> 00:20:26.279
 that

00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:26.740
 was a

00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:27.100
 substitute

00:20:27.100 --> 00:20:27.600
 for our

00:20:27.600 --> 00:20:27.940
 sin

00:20:27.940 --> 00:20:28.420
 that

00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:29.080
 plucked

00:21:21.140 --> 00:21:22.880
 if our agents

00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:54.940
 us

00:21:54.940 --> 00:21:55.400
 see

00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:56.960
 know what

00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:57.380
 the gospel

00:21:57.380 --> 00:21:57.860
 is

00:21:57.860 --> 00:21:58.120
 and to

00:21:58.120 --> 00:21:58.480
 help us

00:21:58.480 --> 00:21:58.920
 to see

00:21:58.920 --> 00:21:59.299
 what

00:21:59.299 --> 00:22:00.640
 false

00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:01.120
 gospels

00:22:01.120 --> 00:22:01.580
 are not

00:22:01.580 --> 00:22:03.980
 there's

00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:04.480
 only one

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:04.820
 true

00:22:04.820 --> 00:22:05.500
 gospel

00:22:05.500 --> 00:22:06.759
 that delivers

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.180
 us

00:22:07.180 --> 00:22:08.100
 from beginning

00:22:08.100 --> 00:22:08.660
 to end

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:09.900
 and we

00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:10.420
 must not

00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:11.000
 turn from

00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:11.180
 it

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:12.620
 I want

00:22:12.620 --> 00:22:12.980
 to take a

00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:13.340
 moment here

00:22:13.340 --> 00:22:13.640
 and just

00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:14.680
 point up

00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:15.320
 a couple

00:22:15.320 --> 00:22:15.880
 things by way

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:16.400
 of application

00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:18.259
 this gospel

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:19.279
 that Paul

00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:19.880
 has laid out

00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:20.360
 for us

00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:21.919
 that's the

00:22:21.919 --> 00:22:22.679
 same gospel

00:22:22.679 --> 00:22:23.500
 we preach

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:24.000
 here at

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:24.419
 Christ the

00:22:24.419 --> 00:22:24.559
 King

00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:24.979
 Church

00:22:24.979 --> 00:22:26.519
 it's the

00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:27.119
 apostolic

00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:27.539
 gospel

00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:29.919
 it hasn't

00:22:29.919 --> 00:22:30.559
 changed

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.679
 it's the

00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:33.599
 only message

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:35.379
 that saves

00:22:35.379 --> 00:22:35.899
 sinners

00:22:35.899 --> 00:22:37.059
 from beginning

00:22:37.059 --> 00:22:37.799
 to end

00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.059
 and did you

00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:40.599
 notice that

00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:41.279
 he's actually

00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:42.079
 explaining the

00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:42.699
 gospel to

00:22:42.699 --> 00:22:43.139
 Christians

00:22:43.139 --> 00:22:46.199
 this is a

00:22:46.199 --> 00:22:46.519
 letter to

00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:46.979
 Christians

00:22:46.980 --> 00:22:49.900
 so he's

00:22:49.900 --> 00:22:50.500
 aware that

00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:50.980
 Christians

00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:51.539
 can

00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:53.539
 can get

00:22:53.539 --> 00:22:54.120
 confused on

00:22:54.120 --> 00:22:54.339
 what the

00:22:54.339 --> 00:22:54.940
 gospel is

00:22:54.940 --> 00:22:57.640
 this

00:22:57.640 --> 00:22:58.319
 gospel

00:22:58.319 --> 00:22:59.079
 message is

00:22:59.079 --> 00:22:59.620
 for us

00:22:59.620 --> 00:23:00.279
 brothers and

00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:00.519
 sisters

00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:01.000
 not only

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:01.339
 did we need

00:23:01.339 --> 00:23:01.720
 to hear it

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:02.019
 to be

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:02.299
 saved

00:23:02.299 --> 00:23:02.900
 we need

00:23:02.900 --> 00:23:03.519
 to understand

00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:03.940
 it and

00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:04.360
 cling to

00:23:04.360 --> 00:23:04.960
 it to

00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:06.440
 walk in

00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:07.099
 the power

00:23:07.099 --> 00:23:07.680
 of it

00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:12.680
 this true

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:13.160
 gospel

00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:15.440
 it exposes

00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:16.019
 counterfeit

00:23:16.019 --> 00:23:16.620
 gospels

00:23:16.619 --> 00:23:18.519
 and that's

00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:19.159
 where we go

00:23:19.159 --> 00:23:19.699
 to now

00:23:19.699 --> 00:23:22.339
 God's

00:23:22.339 --> 00:23:22.719
 gospel

00:23:22.719 --> 00:23:23.119
 warning

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:27.239
 it's the

00:23:27.239 --> 00:23:27.919
 apostolic

00:23:27.919 --> 00:23:29.079
 rumble

00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:29.500
 strip

00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:31.639
 if

00:23:31.639 --> 00:23:32.299
 verses

00:23:32.299 --> 00:23:32.599
 three

00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:32.759
 through

00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:33.339
 five

00:23:33.339 --> 00:23:34.559
 is the

00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:35.000
 gospel

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:35.379
 way

00:23:35.379 --> 00:23:37.599
 it's

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:38.599
 the path

00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:39.099
 of God's

00:23:39.099 --> 00:23:39.579
 blessing

00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:40.879
 in Christ

00:23:40.879 --> 00:23:41.699
 that not

00:23:41.699 --> 00:23:41.959
 only

00:23:41.959 --> 00:23:43.699
 gets us

00:23:43.699 --> 00:23:44.279
 on the

00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:44.539
 road

00:23:44.539 --> 00:23:45.099
 but keeps

00:23:45.099 --> 00:23:45.419
 us on

00:23:45.419 --> 00:23:45.799
 the road

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.559
 verses

00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:48.879
 six

00:23:48.879 --> 00:23:49.079
 through

00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:49.299
 nine

00:23:49.299 --> 00:23:49.559
 is a

00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:49.779
 kind

00:23:49.779 --> 00:23:49.919
 of

00:23:49.919 --> 00:23:50.599
 apostolic

00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:51.039
 rumble

00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:51.399
 strip

00:23:51.399 --> 00:23:54.419
 but before

00:23:54.419 --> 00:23:55.240
 we actually

00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:55.839
 get to

00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:56.299
 verses

00:23:56.299 --> 00:23:56.659
 six

00:23:56.659 --> 00:23:56.839
 through

00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:57.059
 nine

00:23:57.059 --> 00:23:57.659
 I got

00:23:57.659 --> 00:23:57.980
 to point

00:23:57.980 --> 00:23:58.220
 out

00:23:58.220 --> 00:23:58.519
 something

00:23:58.519 --> 00:23:58.960
 that's

00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:00.079
 MIA

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:01.259
 missing

00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:01.779
 in action

00:24:01.779 --> 00:24:03.680
 if

00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:03.779
 if you

00:24:03.779 --> 00:24:04.160
 looked at

00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:04.559
 Ephesians

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:04.779
 chapter

00:24:04.779 --> 00:24:05.019
 one

00:24:05.019 --> 00:24:05.200
 verse

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:05.599
 15

00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:05.879
 and

00:24:05.879 --> 00:24:06.139
 looked

00:24:06.139 --> 00:24:06.299
 at

00:24:06.299 --> 00:24:06.740
 Colossians

00:24:06.740 --> 00:24:07.019
 1

00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:07.359
 3

00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:07.759
 you would

00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:08.200
 notice

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:08.920
 that

00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:09.819
 in almost

00:24:09.819 --> 00:24:10.599
 all of

00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:11.019
 Paul's

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:11.559
 letters to

00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:12.019
 the churches

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:12.319
 in the

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.720
 New Testament

00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:13.500
 there's always

00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:14.019
 this section

00:24:14.019 --> 00:24:14.720
 on thanksgiving

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:15.079
 I give

00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:15.599
 thanks for

00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:15.859
 you

00:24:15.859 --> 00:24:18.299
 there's none

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:19.099
 in Galatians

00:24:19.099 --> 00:24:22.319
 there's none

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:23.220
 in Galatians

00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:24.759
 because there

00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:25.480
 is a clear

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:26.099
 and present

00:24:26.099 --> 00:24:26.759
 danger

00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:28.259
 facing the

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:28.720
 Galatians

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:29.919
 that Paul

00:24:29.919 --> 00:24:30.399
 must

00:24:30.399 --> 00:24:31.220
 immediately

00:24:31.220 --> 00:24:31.919
 address

00:24:31.919 --> 00:24:33.159
 there is a

00:24:33.159 --> 00:24:33.619
 threat

00:24:33.619 --> 00:24:34.480
 to the

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:34.940
 gospel

00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:36.180
 and therefore

00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:37.659
 to salvation

00:24:37.659 --> 00:24:39.659
 and so

00:24:39.659 --> 00:24:40.200
 Paul

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:41.180
 makes a

00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:41.919
 pretty dramatic

00:24:41.919 --> 00:24:42.559
 shift

00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:43.399
 from verse

00:24:43.399 --> 00:24:44.159
 five

00:24:44.159 --> 00:24:44.859
 in which he

00:24:44.859 --> 00:24:45.440
 is saying

00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:46.120
 to whom

00:24:46.120 --> 00:24:46.400
 be the

00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:46.720
 glory

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:47.160
 of God

00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:47.500
 forever

00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:47.740
 and ever

00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:48.259
 and amen

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:49.519
 he's like

00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:49.900
 yes

00:24:49.900 --> 00:24:50.580
 yes

00:24:50.580 --> 00:24:52.200
 and then

00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:52.559
 in verse

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:53.080
 six

00:24:53.080 --> 00:24:53.680
 he goes

00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:54.140
 I am

00:24:54.140 --> 00:24:54.980
 astonished

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:58.500
 that's a

00:24:58.500 --> 00:24:58.660
 pretty

00:24:58.660 --> 00:24:59.200
 significant

00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:00.039
 change

00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.420
 Paul moves

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:02.880
 from talking

00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:03.640
 about gospel

00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:04.559
 now to

00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:05.759
 warning

00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:06.460
 about a

00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:06.980
 distortion

00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:07.420
 of the

00:25:07.420 --> 00:25:07.799
 gospel

00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:09.360
 and he's

00:25:09.360 --> 00:25:09.680
 shocked

00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:10.299
 by that

00:25:10.299 --> 00:25:11.220
 so in

00:25:11.220 --> 00:25:11.680
 verse six

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:12.180
 he starts

00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:12.640
 by saying

00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:13.180
 I am

00:25:13.180 --> 00:25:13.799
 I am

00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:14.759
 astonished

00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:15.819
 that's a

00:25:15.819 --> 00:25:16.379
 strong word

00:25:16.379 --> 00:25:17.700
 I am

00:25:17.700 --> 00:25:18.299
 astonished

00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:18.640
 that you're

00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:19.039
 so quickly

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:19.519
 deserting

00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:20.180
 him

00:25:20.180 --> 00:25:20.980
 our God

00:25:20.980 --> 00:25:21.420
 and father

00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:22.359
 who called

00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:22.740
 you in the

00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:23.119
 grace of

00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:23.420
 Christ

00:25:23.420 --> 00:25:23.700
 and are

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:24.039
 turning to

00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:24.319
 a different

00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:24.680
 gospel

00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:25.140
 it would

00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:25.420
 be like

00:25:25.420 --> 00:25:25.640
 this

00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:25.819
 it would

00:25:25.819 --> 00:25:26.059
 be like

00:25:26.059 --> 00:25:26.220
 us

00:25:26.220 --> 00:25:26.379
 saying

00:25:26.379 --> 00:25:26.640
 this

00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:27.720
 I

00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:28.279
 can't

00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:28.720
 believe

00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:29.559
 that you

00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:29.960
 are

00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:30.619
 bailing

00:25:30.619 --> 00:25:31.079
 on our

00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:31.319
 God

00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:33.500
 I am

00:25:33.500 --> 00:25:34.240
 shocked

00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:35.359
 that it's

00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:36.099
 you've so

00:25:36.099 --> 00:25:36.539
 quickly

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:37.279
 turned away

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:37.660
 from the

00:25:37.660 --> 00:25:38.279
 one who

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:38.779
 has moved

00:25:38.779 --> 00:25:39.160
 towards you

00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:39.579
 in grace

00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:42.259
 it's really

00:25:42.259 --> 00:25:42.720
 strong

00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:43.619
 strong language

00:25:43.619 --> 00:25:45.259
 and the

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:45.819
 question is

00:25:45.819 --> 00:25:47.079
 why

00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:48.319
 what's the

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:48.719
 intensity

00:25:48.719 --> 00:25:49.319
 all about

00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:51.179
 well first

00:25:51.179 --> 00:25:51.599
 let me help

00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:52.019
 you understand

00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:52.299
 what that

00:25:52.299 --> 00:25:52.559
 word

00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:53.019
 quickly

00:25:53.019 --> 00:25:53.559
 is getting

00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:53.759
 at

00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:53.959
 I'm

00:25:53.959 --> 00:25:54.399
 astonished

00:25:54.399 --> 00:25:54.659
 that you

00:25:54.659 --> 00:25:54.959
 are so

00:25:54.959 --> 00:25:55.539
 quickly

00:25:55.539 --> 00:25:56.399
 deserting

00:25:56.399 --> 00:25:56.739
 him who

00:25:56.739 --> 00:25:57.099
 called you

00:25:57.099 --> 00:25:57.279
 in the

00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:57.659
 grace of

00:25:57.659 --> 00:25:57.979
 Christ

00:25:57.979 --> 00:25:59.679
 just a little

00:25:59.679 --> 00:26:00.079
 historical

00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:00.459
 background

00:26:00.459 --> 00:26:00.859
 remember

00:26:00.859 --> 00:26:02.739
 Paul first

00:26:02.739 --> 00:26:03.339
 showed up

00:26:03.339 --> 00:26:03.659
 in the

00:26:03.659 --> 00:26:04.079
 region of

00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:04.379
 southern

00:26:04.379 --> 00:26:04.979
 Galatia

00:26:04.979 --> 00:26:05.639
 in about

00:26:05.639 --> 00:26:06.699
 47-48

00:26:06.699 --> 00:26:07.059
 AD

00:26:07.059 --> 00:26:08.059
 he was

00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:08.500
 making his

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:09.079
 way through

00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:09.639
 preaching the

00:26:09.639 --> 00:26:10.199
 gospel in

00:26:10.199 --> 00:26:10.399
 like

00:26:10.399 --> 00:26:11.019
 Lystra

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:11.399
 Derbe

00:26:11.399 --> 00:26:12.000
 Iconium

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:12.700
 and he

00:26:12.700 --> 00:26:13.779
 was proclaiming

00:26:13.779 --> 00:26:13.920
 that

00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:14.799
 47-48

00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:15.079
 AD

00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:15.799
 in

00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:16.400
 AD

00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:16.940
 50

00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:17.299
 there was

00:26:17.299 --> 00:26:17.460
 the

00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:17.759
 council

00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:18.000
 of

00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:18.420
 Jerusalem

00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:19.119
 which is

00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:19.680
 this big

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:20.259
 deal

00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:21.819
 and most

00:26:21.819 --> 00:26:22.480
 scholars believe

00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:22.900
 that this

00:26:22.900 --> 00:26:23.400
 letter was

00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:23.980
 written somewhere

00:26:23.980 --> 00:26:24.460
 in between

00:26:24.460 --> 00:26:24.940
 that because

00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:25.440
 Paul makes

00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:26.140
 no reference

00:26:26.140 --> 00:26:26.519
 to the

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:26.980
 council of

00:26:26.980 --> 00:26:27.319
 Jerusalem

00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:27.700
 which would

00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:28.000
 have been

00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:28.619
 really helpful

00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:29.019
 in this

00:26:29.019 --> 00:26:29.279
 letter

00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:31.680
 and so

00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:32.180
 what this

00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:32.619
 means is

00:26:32.619 --> 00:26:33.140
 he probably

00:26:33.140 --> 00:26:33.680
 wrote

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:34.940
 Galatians

00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:35.319
 around

00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:36.440
 49-80

00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:38.640
 which means

00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:40.259
 if he was

00:26:40.259 --> 00:26:40.599
 just there

00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:41.980
 in 47-48

00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:44.219
 we're talking

00:26:44.219 --> 00:26:44.559
 about a

00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:44.899
 year

00:26:44.899 --> 00:26:46.159
 since he

00:26:46.159 --> 00:26:46.599
 was there

00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:48.899
 in one

00:26:48.899 --> 00:26:49.419
 year's time

00:26:49.419 --> 00:26:50.539
 these believers

00:26:50.539 --> 00:26:51.179
 who had

00:26:51.179 --> 00:26:51.659
 received

00:26:51.659 --> 00:26:52.480
 the true

00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:53.179
 one true

00:26:53.179 --> 00:26:53.719
 gospel

00:26:53.719 --> 00:26:54.039
 and had

00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:54.459
 been adopted

00:26:54.459 --> 00:26:55.000
 by God's

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:55.359
 grace

00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:55.859
 into God's

00:26:55.859 --> 00:26:56.159
 family

00:26:56.159 --> 00:26:56.839
 they're

00:26:56.839 --> 00:26:57.539
 now

00:26:57.539 --> 00:26:58.259
 deserting

00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:58.779
 or being

00:26:58.779 --> 00:26:59.199
 tempted

00:26:59.199 --> 00:26:59.639
 to desert

00:26:59.639 --> 00:27:01.259
 the one

00:27:01.259 --> 00:27:01.559
 who had

00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:02.079
 called him

00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.099
 that word

00:27:04.099 --> 00:27:05.119
 deserting

00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:05.659
 is a very

00:27:05.659 --> 00:27:06.500
 strong word

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:07.459
 it means

00:27:07.459 --> 00:27:08.359
 to turn

00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:09.199
 from one

00:27:09.199 --> 00:27:10.319
 for another

00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:12.859
 it's got

00:27:12.859 --> 00:27:13.919
 this soft

00:27:13.919 --> 00:27:15.259
 idolatry

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:15.740
 sense

00:27:15.740 --> 00:27:16.259
 to it

00:27:16.259 --> 00:27:19.919
 these

00:27:19.919 --> 00:27:20.379
 Galatian

00:27:20.379 --> 00:27:20.919
 Christians

00:27:20.919 --> 00:27:21.899
 Paul is

00:27:21.899 --> 00:27:22.659
 so concerned

00:27:22.659 --> 00:27:23.539
 he's

00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:24.159
 invested

00:27:24.159 --> 00:27:24.779
 his life

00:27:24.779 --> 00:27:25.039
 he's

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:25.279
 preached

00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:25.799
 the gospel

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.200
 he's

00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:26.740
 seen

00:27:26.740 --> 00:27:27.099
 many of

00:27:27.099 --> 00:27:27.179
 them

00:27:27.179 --> 00:27:27.759
 respond

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:28.319
 in

00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:29.319
 faith

00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:29.879
 to God's

00:27:29.879 --> 00:27:30.220
 grace

00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:30.859
 and now

00:27:30.859 --> 00:27:31.460
 it looks

00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:31.740
 like

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:32.000
 they're

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:32.579
 deserting

00:27:32.579 --> 00:27:33.359
 the God

00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:33.859
 who saved

00:27:33.859 --> 00:27:34.259
 them

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:38.299
 Paul's

00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:38.980
 shocked

00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:40.519
 astonished

00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:42.379
 and what

00:27:42.379 --> 00:27:42.799
 we learn

00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:43.259
 is that

00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:43.720
 their

00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:44.400
 deserting

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:45.619
 of their

00:27:45.619 --> 00:27:46.299
 God

00:27:46.299 --> 00:27:46.879
 our God

00:27:46.879 --> 00:27:47.480
 and Father

00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:48.140
 is

00:27:48.140 --> 00:27:49.359
 is also

00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:49.619
 a

00:27:49.619 --> 00:27:50.420
 turning

00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:51.259
 to a

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:52.240
 different

00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:53.279
 gospel

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:53.900
 and we

00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:54.740
 learn about

00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:55.960
 what this

00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:56.980
 different

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:57.619
 gospel

00:27:57.619 --> 00:27:58.240
 is

00:27:58.240 --> 00:27:58.720
 in verse

00:27:58.720 --> 00:27:59.079
 seven

00:27:59.079 --> 00:27:59.740
 not that

00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:00.099
 there is

00:28:00.099 --> 00:28:00.339
 another

00:28:00.339 --> 00:28:00.660
 one

00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:01.140
 but there

00:28:01.140 --> 00:28:01.279
 are

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:01.620
 some

00:28:01.620 --> 00:28:01.800
 who

00:28:01.800 --> 00:28:02.160
 trouble

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:02.380
 you

00:28:02.380 --> 00:28:02.860
 and want

00:28:02.860 --> 00:28:03.100
 to

00:28:03.100 --> 00:28:03.779
 distort

00:28:03.779 --> 00:28:04.420
 the

00:28:04.420 --> 00:28:04.980
 gospel

00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:05.880
 of

00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:06.800
 Christ

00:28:06.800 --> 00:28:09.060
 whatever

00:28:09.060 --> 00:28:09.519
 these

00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:09.840
 people

00:28:09.840 --> 00:28:10.140
 were

00:28:10.140 --> 00:28:10.380
 the

00:28:10.380 --> 00:28:11.000
 some

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.200
 who

00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:11.340
 were

00:28:11.340 --> 00:28:11.860
 troubling

00:28:11.860 --> 00:28:12.160
 these

00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:12.640
 Galatians

00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:12.960
 whoever

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:13.400
 they

00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:13.860
 were

00:28:13.860 --> 00:28:15.200
 they

00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:15.700
 were

00:28:15.700 --> 00:28:16.920
 distorting

00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:17.660
 what we

00:28:17.660 --> 00:28:18.040
 just

00:28:18.040 --> 00:28:18.420
 talked

00:28:18.420 --> 00:28:18.720
 about

00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:19.100
 in verses

00:28:19.100 --> 00:28:19.420
 three

00:28:19.420 --> 00:28:19.600
 through

00:28:19.600 --> 00:28:20.040
 five

00:28:20.040 --> 00:28:22.000
 they

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:22.140
 were

00:28:22.140 --> 00:28:22.440
 trying

00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:22.600
 to

00:28:22.600 --> 00:28:22.940
 tweak

00:28:22.940 --> 00:28:23.180
 it

00:28:23.180 --> 00:28:25.060
 they

00:28:25.060 --> 00:28:25.180
 were

00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:25.480
 trying

00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:25.700
 to

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:26.160
 revise

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:26.460
 it

00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:28.200
 they

00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:28.300
 were

00:28:28.300 --> 00:28:28.620
 trying

00:28:28.620 --> 00:28:28.820
 to

00:28:28.820 --> 00:28:29.040
 maybe

00:28:29.040 --> 00:28:29.860
 redefine

00:28:29.860 --> 00:28:29.980
 it

00:28:29.980 --> 00:28:30.080
 a

00:28:30.080 --> 00:28:30.220
 little

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:30.480
 bit

00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:32.920
 and what

00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:33.640
 Paul says

00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:34.420
 when you

00:28:34.420 --> 00:28:35.079
 do that

00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:36.339
 it's not

00:28:36.339 --> 00:28:36.819
 a gospel

00:28:36.819 --> 00:28:37.319
 anymore

00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:39.500
 not that

00:28:39.500 --> 00:28:40.000
 there is

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:40.259
 another

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:40.579
 one

00:28:40.579 --> 00:28:42.440
 a distorted

00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:42.920
 gospel

00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:43.500
 is no

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:43.940
 gospel

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:44.640
 at all

00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:45.380
 a distorted

00:28:45.380 --> 00:28:45.900
 gospel

00:28:45.900 --> 00:28:46.620
 is

00:28:46.620 --> 00:28:48.240
 powerless

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:49.279
 to save

00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:50.420
 a distorted

00:28:50.420 --> 00:28:50.880
 gospel

00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:51.980
 is powerless

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:52.700
 to change

00:28:52.700 --> 00:28:52.920
 you

00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:53.819
 a distorted

00:28:53.819 --> 00:28:54.400
 gospel

00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:55.700
 has no

00:28:55.700 --> 00:28:56.259
 provision

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:57.059
 for ongoing

00:28:57.059 --> 00:28:57.579
 grace

00:28:57.579 --> 00:28:58.500
 and peace

00:28:58.500 --> 00:29:01.099
 a distorted

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:01.579
 gospel

00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:01.980
 doesn't

00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:02.339
 free

00:29:02.339 --> 00:29:02.539
 it

00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:03.359
 enslaves

00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:04.539
 that's

00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:04.700
 why

00:29:04.700 --> 00:29:04.980
 Paul

00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:05.279
 is so

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:05.980
 astonished

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:07.140
 what are

00:29:07.140 --> 00:29:07.359
 you guys

00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:07.740
 thinking

00:29:07.740 --> 00:29:09.200
 why would

00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:09.559
 you turn

00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:10.180
 from this

00:29:10.180 --> 00:29:11.799
 why are you

00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:12.299
 settling

00:29:12.299 --> 00:29:12.740
 for this

00:29:12.740 --> 00:29:13.339
 trash

00:29:13.339 --> 00:29:14.079
 gospel

00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:17.740
 how can

00:29:17.740 --> 00:29:18.439
 you guys

00:29:18.439 --> 00:29:19.519
 so quickly

00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:20.779
 swap out

00:29:20.779 --> 00:29:21.740
 the one

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:22.299
 true

00:29:22.299 --> 00:29:22.959
 gospel

00:29:22.959 --> 00:29:23.519
 that will

00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:24.379
 alone

00:29:24.379 --> 00:29:25.639
 set you

00:29:25.639 --> 00:29:26.119
 free

00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:26.799
 from beginning

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:27.399
 to end

00:29:27.399 --> 00:29:27.799
 to live

00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:28.199
 for God

00:29:28.199 --> 00:29:29.019
 why would

00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:29.779
 you ever

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:30.579
 swap

00:29:30.579 --> 00:29:31.879
 that gospel

00:29:31.879 --> 00:29:32.259
 out

00:29:32.259 --> 00:29:33.079
 for this

00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:33.759
 different

00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:34.359
 gospel

00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:34.919
 that's only

00:29:34.919 --> 00:29:35.399
 going to

00:29:35.399 --> 00:29:36.119
 enslave

00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:36.579
 you

00:29:36.579 --> 00:29:39.099
 shocking

00:29:39.099 --> 00:29:40.639
 now if you're

00:29:40.639 --> 00:29:41.059
 wondering what

00:29:41.059 --> 00:29:41.399
 the different

00:29:41.399 --> 00:29:42.259
 gospel was

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:43.039
 it was a

00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:43.619
 form of

00:29:43.619 --> 00:29:44.240
 legalism

00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:47.279
 these

00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:48.079
 troublemakers

00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:48.599
 who were

00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:49.240
 teaching in

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:49.879
 these churches

00:29:49.879 --> 00:29:50.539
 in Galatia

00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:50.879
 they were

00:29:50.879 --> 00:29:52.059
 teaching these

00:29:52.059 --> 00:29:53.379
 new converts

00:29:53.379 --> 00:29:54.440
 these Gentile

00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:54.940
 Christians

00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:55.720
 they were

00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:56.379
 teaching that

00:29:56.379 --> 00:29:57.220
 in order to

00:29:57.220 --> 00:29:57.920
 be in

00:29:57.920 --> 00:29:58.640
 right standing

00:29:58.640 --> 00:29:59.119
 with God

00:29:59.119 --> 00:29:59.480
 which is

00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:00.099
 another word

00:30:00.099 --> 00:30:00.359
 for that

00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:00.700
 is to be

00:30:00.700 --> 00:30:01.319
 justified

00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:02.619
 in order for

00:30:02.619 --> 00:30:02.920
 them to be

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:03.319
 justified

00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:03.819
 not only do

00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:04.079
 they have to

00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:04.680
 believe in

00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:04.980
 Jesus

00:30:04.980 --> 00:30:06.220
 but in

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:06.799
 addition to

00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:07.400
 believing in

00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:07.680
 Jesus

00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:09.019
 they had to

00:30:09.019 --> 00:30:09.859
 be circumcised

00:30:09.859 --> 00:30:11.700
 and that they

00:30:11.700 --> 00:30:12.240
 had to abide

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:12.720
 by Jewish

00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:13.140
 dietary

00:30:13.140 --> 00:30:13.759
 restrictions

00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:14.559
 and that they

00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:14.859
 had to

00:30:14.859 --> 00:30:15.799
 observe Jewish

00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:16.539
 holy days

00:30:16.539 --> 00:30:17.259
 so what they

00:30:17.259 --> 00:30:17.720
 were teaching

00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:18.839
 was Jesus

00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:20.299
 plus your

00:30:20.299 --> 00:30:20.920
 obedience

00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:22.220
 justifies you

00:30:22.220 --> 00:30:22.859
 before God

00:30:22.859 --> 00:30:24.480
 and Paul's

00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:24.920
 like that's

00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:25.200
 not the

00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:25.559
 gospel

00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:29.460
 it's only

00:30:29.460 --> 00:30:29.680
 going to

00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:30.519
 enslave you

00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:34.480
 they were

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:35.120
 adding to

00:30:35.120 --> 00:30:36.079
 the gospel

00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:36.660
 of grace

00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:37.339
 and when you

00:30:37.339 --> 00:30:38.240
 add obedience

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:38.960
 to the gospel

00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:39.519
 of grace

00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:41.279
 you de-grace

00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:42.000
 the gospel

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.500
 it's no

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:44.940
 longer

00:30:44.940 --> 00:30:46.000
 the gospel

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:52.139
 distortions

00:30:52.139 --> 00:30:52.759
 of the gospel

00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:53.639
 take the

00:30:53.639 --> 00:30:54.139
 form of

00:30:54.139 --> 00:30:54.740
 adding

00:30:54.740 --> 00:30:55.980
 legalism

00:30:55.980 --> 00:30:56.279
 to the

00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:56.639
 gospel

00:30:56.639 --> 00:30:57.160
 but they

00:30:57.160 --> 00:30:57.779
 it also

00:30:57.779 --> 00:30:58.160
 takes the

00:30:58.160 --> 00:30:58.619
 form of

00:30:58.619 --> 00:30:59.599
 detracting

00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:00.079
 from the

00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:00.399
 gospel

00:31:00.399 --> 00:31:01.119
 maybe you

00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:01.500
 know of

00:31:01.500 --> 00:31:02.639
 Thomas Jefferson's

00:31:02.639 --> 00:31:03.000
 bible

00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.099
 Thomas Jefferson

00:31:05.099 --> 00:31:05.519
 one of my

00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:06.240
 founding fathers

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:08.460
 he got a

00:31:08.460 --> 00:31:08.940
 copy of the

00:31:08.940 --> 00:31:09.460
 new testament

00:31:09.460 --> 00:31:10.500
 and what he

00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:10.940
 did is he

00:31:10.940 --> 00:31:11.660
 took a sharp

00:31:11.660 --> 00:31:12.420
 scalpel like

00:31:12.420 --> 00:31:13.500
 instrument and

00:31:13.500 --> 00:31:14.980
 cut out all

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:16.000
 references to

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:17.000
 anything miraculous

00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:18.299
 because of his

00:31:18.299 --> 00:31:19.579
 enlightened mind

00:31:19.579 --> 00:31:21.120
 he cut out all

00:31:21.120 --> 00:31:22.180
 kind of references

00:31:22.180 --> 00:31:23.099
 to the miraculous

00:31:23.099 --> 00:31:24.140
 culminating and

00:31:24.140 --> 00:31:24.799
 cutting out the

00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:25.559
 resurrection of

00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:26.319
 Jesus Christ

00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:28.660
 it's a false

00:31:28.660 --> 00:31:29.140
 gospel

00:31:29.140 --> 00:31:31.599
 it's a man

00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:32.460
 centered gospel

00:31:32.460 --> 00:31:35.200
 so distortions

00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:35.759
 of the gospel

00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:36.920
 take the form

00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:37.700
 of adding to

00:31:37.700 --> 00:31:38.380
 it and

00:31:38.380 --> 00:31:38.980
 distracting

00:31:38.980 --> 00:31:39.940
 or detracting

00:31:39.940 --> 00:31:40.259
 from it

00:31:40.259 --> 00:31:41.200
 but it's all

00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:42.480
 man done

00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.779
 so in verses

00:31:45.779 --> 00:31:46.240
 six through

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:46.519
 seven

00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:47.079
 Paul is

00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:47.680
 voicing his

00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:48.440
 apostolic

00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:49.180
 astonishment

00:31:49.180 --> 00:31:50.380
 by way of

00:31:50.380 --> 00:31:51.140
 warning and

00:31:51.140 --> 00:31:51.660
 rebuke

00:31:51.660 --> 00:31:52.380
 he's saying

00:31:52.380 --> 00:31:52.640
 this

00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:53.440
 guys don't

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:54.079
 do this

00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:56.059
 I am your

00:31:56.059 --> 00:31:57.299
 rumble strip

00:31:57.299 --> 00:31:58.579
 turn back

00:31:58.579 --> 00:31:59.380
 to the gospel

00:31:59.380 --> 00:32:01.200
 don't cross

00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:02.100
 over this

00:32:02.100 --> 00:32:02.880
 rumble strip

00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:03.600
 I'm speaking

00:32:03.600 --> 00:32:04.360
 to you

00:32:04.360 --> 00:32:06.300
 you're only

00:32:06.300 --> 00:32:06.660
 going to be

00:32:06.660 --> 00:32:07.340
 enslaved

00:32:07.340 --> 00:32:08.600
 by this

00:32:08.600 --> 00:32:13.580
 Paul

00:32:13.580 --> 00:32:14.900
 above all

00:32:14.900 --> 00:32:15.960
 wants

00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:16.720
 God's

00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:17.240
 gospel

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:17.940
 protected

00:32:17.940 --> 00:32:19.040
 and these

00:32:19.040 --> 00:32:19.960
 young Christians

00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:20.860
 living in the

00:32:20.860 --> 00:32:21.940
 goodness of it

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:24.240
 that's why he's

00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:24.660
 saying what are

00:32:24.660 --> 00:32:25.140
 you thinking

00:32:25.140 --> 00:32:26.120
 I'm astonished

00:32:26.120 --> 00:32:27.700
 but it doesn't

00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:28.140
 end there

00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:30.420
 Paul gets

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:32.140
 a little bit

00:32:32.140 --> 00:32:32.780
 more worked

00:32:32.780 --> 00:32:33.020
 up

00:32:33.020 --> 00:32:35.320
 in verses

00:32:35.320 --> 00:32:35.860
 eight he

00:32:35.860 --> 00:32:36.259
 says

00:32:36.259 --> 00:32:37.080
 but even

00:32:37.080 --> 00:32:37.820
 if we

00:32:37.820 --> 00:32:38.720
 Paul's

00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:39.020
 including

00:32:39.020 --> 00:32:39.460
 himself

00:32:39.460 --> 00:32:41.220
 if I

00:32:41.220 --> 00:32:42.080
 or my

00:32:42.080 --> 00:32:42.300
 buddy

00:32:42.300 --> 00:32:43.060
 Barnabas

00:32:43.060 --> 00:32:44.960
 or

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:46.860
 an angel

00:32:46.860 --> 00:32:47.759
 Michael

00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:48.259
 Gabriel

00:32:48.259 --> 00:32:48.980
 from heaven

00:32:48.980 --> 00:32:50.120
 should preach

00:32:50.120 --> 00:32:50.660
 to you a

00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:51.600
 gospel contrary

00:32:51.600 --> 00:32:52.040
 to the one

00:32:52.040 --> 00:32:52.520
 we preached

00:32:52.520 --> 00:32:52.840
 to you

00:32:52.840 --> 00:32:53.580
 verses three

00:32:53.580 --> 00:32:54.140
 through five

00:32:54.140 --> 00:32:55.820
 let him be

00:32:55.820 --> 00:32:56.340
 accursed

00:32:56.339 --> 00:32:58.819
 that word

00:32:58.819 --> 00:32:59.419
 accursed

00:32:59.419 --> 00:33:02.159
 means destined

00:33:02.159 --> 00:33:03.659
 for destruction

00:33:03.659 --> 00:33:06.919
 God be damned

00:33:06.919 --> 00:33:09.059
 God damn you

00:33:09.059 --> 00:33:11.220
 he's saying

00:33:11.220 --> 00:33:12.159
 he's basically

00:33:12.159 --> 00:33:13.639
 well I'll be damned

00:33:13.639 --> 00:33:14.599
 if I preach a different

00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:15.039
 gospel

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:16.059
 and he would be

00:33:16.059 --> 00:33:19.899
 and he goes

00:33:19.899 --> 00:33:20.399
 from talking

00:33:20.399 --> 00:33:20.859
 about

00:33:20.859 --> 00:33:22.740
 himself

00:33:22.740 --> 00:33:23.639
 as a

00:33:23.639 --> 00:33:24.500
 possibility

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:25.579
 just imagine

00:33:25.579 --> 00:33:26.539
 me

00:33:26.539 --> 00:33:27.399
 Barnabas

00:33:27.399 --> 00:33:28.399
 Gabriel

00:33:28.399 --> 00:33:28.919
 Michael

00:33:28.919 --> 00:33:29.579
 preaching a

00:33:29.579 --> 00:33:30.240
 different gospel

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:31.220
 they would be

00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:31.879
 damned

00:33:31.879 --> 00:33:32.919
 if they did

00:33:32.919 --> 00:33:35.039
 and then in verse

00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:35.599
 nine he says

00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:36.279
 if anyone

00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:37.839
 as we've said

00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:38.599
 before so now

00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:39.179
 I say again

00:33:39.179 --> 00:33:40.440
 it's emphasizing

00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:41.399
 he's repeating

00:33:41.399 --> 00:33:42.179
 what's been said

00:33:42.179 --> 00:33:43.059
 if anyone

00:33:43.059 --> 00:33:43.779
 and what he's

00:33:43.779 --> 00:33:44.399
 getting at there

00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:45.040
 is anyone

00:33:45.040 --> 00:33:46.400
 anyone in your

00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:47.200
 midst right now

00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:48.480
 anyone who's

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:49.060
 troubling you

00:33:49.060 --> 00:33:49.540
 right now

00:33:49.540 --> 00:33:50.780
 by by preaching

00:33:50.780 --> 00:33:51.340
 a different

00:33:51.340 --> 00:33:52.360
 contrary gospel

00:33:52.360 --> 00:33:52.860
 to the one

00:33:52.860 --> 00:33:53.420
 we've preached

00:33:53.420 --> 00:33:54.600
 if anyone

00:33:54.600 --> 00:33:56.700
 if anyone

00:33:56.700 --> 00:33:57.320
 is preaching

00:33:57.320 --> 00:33:58.440
 to you a gospel

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:59.380
 contrary to the

00:33:59.380 --> 00:34:00.240
 one you received

00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:01.740
 let him be

00:34:01.740 --> 00:34:02.120
 damned

00:34:02.120 --> 00:34:06.420
 that's

00:34:06.420 --> 00:34:09.039
 Paul that's

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:09.519
 pretty strong

00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:09.900
 language

00:34:09.900 --> 00:34:12.760
 maybe maybe

00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:13.680
 Paul's overreacting

00:34:13.680 --> 00:34:14.200
 a little bit

00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:15.360
 just maybe

00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:16.380
 a little bit

00:34:16.380 --> 00:34:19.820
 Paul's saying

00:34:19.820 --> 00:34:20.920
 it doesn't matter

00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:21.480
 your status

00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:22.079
 or your position

00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:22.599
 whether you're

00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:23.119
 a capital A

00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:23.519
 apostle

00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:24.180
 a small A

00:34:24.180 --> 00:34:24.559
 apostle

00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:25.680
 whether you're

00:34:25.680 --> 00:34:26.220
 a pastor

00:34:26.220 --> 00:34:26.900
 whether you're

00:34:26.900 --> 00:34:27.400
 a mom

00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:28.180
 whether you're

00:34:28.180 --> 00:34:29.039
 an archangel

00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:30.599
 if you preach

00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:31.820
 a different gospel

00:34:31.820 --> 00:34:33.180
 than the only

00:34:33.180 --> 00:34:34.160
 gospel that

00:34:34.160 --> 00:34:34.960
 saves

00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.820
 you're damned

00:34:36.820 --> 00:34:39.720
 because you're

00:34:39.720 --> 00:34:40.280
 damning

00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:41.260
 those who

00:34:41.260 --> 00:34:41.980
 hear you

00:34:41.980 --> 00:34:46.300
 you're

00:34:46.300 --> 00:34:46.900
 actually

00:34:46.900 --> 00:34:47.760
 proclaiming

00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:48.820
 a gospel

00:34:48.820 --> 00:34:50.300
 that doesn't

00:34:50.300 --> 00:34:50.780
 save

00:34:50.780 --> 00:34:51.159
 it only

00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:51.840
 enslaves

00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:52.380
 you're

00:34:52.380 --> 00:34:52.880
 proclaiming

00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:53.360
 a gospel

00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:53.699
 that

00:34:53.699 --> 00:34:54.440
 damns

00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:54.940
 people

00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:55.880
 so damn

00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:56.400
 you

00:34:56.400 --> 00:35:02.760
 feel the

00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:03.119
 warning

00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:06.659
 the stakes

00:35:06.659 --> 00:35:07.259
 are high

00:35:07.259 --> 00:35:07.679
 when it

00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:08.019
 comes to

00:35:08.019 --> 00:35:08.519
 the gospel

00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:11.859
 eternity

00:35:11.859 --> 00:35:12.339
 is at

00:35:12.339 --> 00:35:12.719
 stake

00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:16.299
 and this

00:35:16.299 --> 00:35:16.839
 is a warning

00:35:16.839 --> 00:35:17.319
 for us

00:35:17.319 --> 00:35:17.719
 today

00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:21.239
 because there

00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:21.739
 are plenty

00:35:21.739 --> 00:35:22.500
 of false

00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:23.139
 gospels

00:35:23.139 --> 00:35:23.859
 out there

00:35:23.859 --> 00:35:25.019
 there is

00:35:25.019 --> 00:35:25.879
 only one

00:35:25.879 --> 00:35:26.899
 true gospel

00:35:26.899 --> 00:35:27.579
 by which

00:35:27.579 --> 00:35:28.419
 God

00:35:28.419 --> 00:35:29.419
 delivers

00:35:29.419 --> 00:35:30.039
 sinners

00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:30.719
 from beginning

00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:31.379
 to end

00:35:31.379 --> 00:35:32.299
 and we

00:35:32.299 --> 00:35:33.199
 must turn

00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:34.259
 from it

00:35:34.259 --> 00:35:34.739
 or be

00:35:34.739 --> 00:35:35.480
 damned

00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:39.880
 maybe you've

00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:40.300
 had a Mormon

00:35:40.300 --> 00:35:40.800
 elder come

00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:41.240
 up to your

 door

00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:42.760
 very nice

00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:43.599
 looking people

00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:44.380
 morally

00:35:45.019 --> 00:35:47.099
 preach to you

00:35:47.099 --> 00:35:47.460
 about the

00:35:47.460 --> 00:35:48.440
 grace of

00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:48.800
 Jesus

00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:49.940
 but oh yeah

00:35:49.940 --> 00:35:50.559
 you need to

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:50.960
 obey

00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:51.619
 to make you

00:35:51.619 --> 00:35:52.019
 right with

00:35:52.019 --> 00:35:52.360
 God

00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:52.719
 it's a

00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:52.920
 false

00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:53.320
 gospel

00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:56.380
 liberal

00:35:56.380 --> 00:35:56.840
 mainline

00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:57.460
 Christianity

00:35:57.460 --> 00:35:58.159
 invites you

00:35:58.159 --> 00:35:58.639
 to believe

00:35:58.639 --> 00:35:59.159
 in a new

00:35:59.159 --> 00:35:59.860
 improved

00:35:59.860 --> 00:36:00.740
 more palable

00:36:00.740 --> 00:36:01.719
 gospel of

00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:02.480
 Jesus Christ

00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:03.639
 that doesn't

00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:04.219
 talk about

00:36:04.219 --> 00:36:05.179
 sin and

00:36:05.179 --> 00:36:05.839
 makes the

00:36:05.839 --> 00:36:06.719
 substitutionary

00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:07.319
 death of

00:36:07.319 --> 00:36:08.419
 Jesus just

00:36:08.419 --> 00:36:09.139
 an example

00:36:09.139 --> 00:36:09.679
 of how to

00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:10.099
 be a good

00:36:10.099 --> 00:36:10.399
 neighbor

00:36:10.399 --> 00:36:12.039
 not the

00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:12.539
 power of

00:36:12.539 --> 00:36:12.899
 God to

00:36:12.899 --> 00:36:13.519
 save people

00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:14.639
 it's a

00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:15.399
 false gospel

00:36:15.399 --> 00:36:18.639
 the prosperity

00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:19.219
 gospel

00:36:19.219 --> 00:36:21.199
 in which

00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:22.359
 God is made

00:36:22.359 --> 00:36:22.799
 into this

00:36:22.799 --> 00:36:23.419
 divine

00:36:23.419 --> 00:36:24.379
 health and

00:36:24.379 --> 00:36:24.719
 wealth

00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:25.339
 snack

00:36:25.339 --> 00:36:26.139
 dispenser

00:36:26.139 --> 00:36:26.819
 is a

00:36:26.819 --> 00:36:27.259
 false

00:36:27.259 --> 00:36:27.859
 gospel

00:36:27.859 --> 00:36:30.799
 will not

00:36:30.799 --> 00:36:31.599
 save you

00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:32.480
 not free

00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:32.819
 you

00:36:32.819 --> 00:36:33.739
 it's only

00:36:33.739 --> 00:36:33.979
 going to

00:36:33.979 --> 00:36:34.579
 enslave

00:36:34.579 --> 00:36:35.199
 you

00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:39.859
 and if

00:36:39.859 --> 00:36:40.159
 you're in

00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:40.419
 the room

00:36:40.419 --> 00:36:40.839
 right now

00:36:40.839 --> 00:36:41.119
 and you're

00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:41.619
 thinking that

00:36:41.619 --> 00:36:42.239
 the way that

00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:42.919
 you keep

00:36:42.919 --> 00:36:43.599
 in right

00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:44.500
 standing with

00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:45.639
 God is if

00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:46.159
 you read your

00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:46.859
 Bible and you

00:36:46.859 --> 00:36:47.439
 pray and you

00:36:47.439 --> 00:36:47.899
 share your

00:36:47.899 --> 00:36:48.419
 faith and you

00:36:48.419 --> 00:36:49.019
 give and you

00:36:49.019 --> 00:36:49.539
 show up to

00:36:49.539 --> 00:36:49.879
 church

00:36:49.879 --> 00:36:51.439
 that's not

00:36:51.439 --> 00:36:52.099
 the gospel

00:36:52.099 --> 00:36:54.599
 through the

00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:55.000
 blood of

00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:55.259
 Jesus

00:36:55.259 --> 00:36:56.159
 God has

00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:56.959
 made you

00:36:56.959 --> 00:36:57.819
 right with

00:36:57.819 --> 00:36:58.119
 him

00:36:58.119 --> 00:36:58.759
 period

00:36:58.759 --> 00:37:01.119
 there's nothing

00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:01.739
 you can do

00:37:01.739 --> 00:37:02.399
 to add to

00:37:02.399 --> 00:37:02.719
 that

00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:07.159
 that's the

00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:07.939
 glory of the

00:37:07.939 --> 00:37:08.379
 gospel

00:37:08.379 --> 00:37:15.000
 this morning

00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:16.539
 we have

00:37:16.539 --> 00:37:17.219
 been warned

00:37:17.219 --> 00:37:19.739
 there are

00:37:19.739 --> 00:37:20.500
 false gospels

00:37:20.500 --> 00:37:21.119
 out there that

00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:21.859
 distort the one

00:37:21.859 --> 00:37:22.439
 true gospel

00:37:22.439 --> 00:37:23.339
 so we need to

00:37:23.339 --> 00:37:23.959
 be clear on

00:37:23.959 --> 00:37:24.559
 what the one

00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:25.239
 true gospel

00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:27.980
 is in order

00:37:27.980 --> 00:37:29.119
 to recognize

00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:29.819
 the false

00:37:29.819 --> 00:37:30.659
 gospels that

00:37:30.659 --> 00:37:31.259
 are making a

00:37:31.259 --> 00:37:32.099
 claim on us

00:37:32.099 --> 00:37:34.500
 and the way

00:37:34.500 --> 00:37:34.799
 that we

00:37:34.799 --> 00:37:35.599
 recognize

00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:37.259
 false gospels

00:37:37.259 --> 00:37:38.759
 is by studying

00:37:38.759 --> 00:37:39.880
 and treasuring

00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:41.380
 delighting in

00:37:41.380 --> 00:37:42.500
 the one

00:37:42.500 --> 00:37:43.400
 true gospel

00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:44.259
 which makes

00:37:44.259 --> 00:37:45.339
 our hearts

00:37:45.339 --> 00:37:46.119
 sing

00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:48.519
 it's about

00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:48.960
 Jesus

00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:49.440
 it's about

00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:49.839
 his death

00:37:49.839 --> 00:37:50.539
 on the cross

00:37:50.539 --> 00:37:51.159
 a substitute

00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:52.000
 for our sin

00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:53.420
 it delivers us

00:37:53.420 --> 00:37:54.299
 from the world

00:37:54.299 --> 00:37:55.299
 and by God's

00:37:55.299 --> 00:37:55.920
 sovereign grace

00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:56.679
 places us

00:37:56.679 --> 00:37:57.460
 into his family

00:37:57.460 --> 00:37:58.199
 it results

00:37:58.199 --> 00:37:59.380
 into God's

00:37:59.380 --> 00:38:00.019
 glory and

00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:01.380
 ongoing source

00:38:01.380 --> 00:38:02.000
 of grace

00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:02.780
 and peace

00:38:02.780 --> 00:38:07.539
 I hope you're

00:38:07.539 --> 00:38:07.980
 feeling the

00:38:07.980 --> 00:38:09.119
 weight of this

00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:10.420
 these words

00:38:10.420 --> 00:38:11.059
 of the apostle

00:38:11.059 --> 00:38:12.860
 but I also

00:38:12.860 --> 00:38:13.400
 hope you're

00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:14.139
 feeling the

00:38:14.139 --> 00:38:15.559
 glory of it

00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:17.380
 how worthy

00:38:17.380 --> 00:38:18.420
 our great God

00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:18.860
 is who

00:38:18.860 --> 00:38:19.780
 delivered us

00:38:19.780 --> 00:38:20.460
 by the blood

00:38:20.460 --> 00:38:21.099
 of his son

00:38:21.099 --> 00:38:21.780
 on the cross

00:38:21.780 --> 00:38:23.300
 he's worthy

00:38:23.300 --> 00:38:24.219
 and I hope

00:38:24.219 --> 00:38:24.960
 you feel a little

00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:25.840
 warning too

00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:27.559
 maybe

00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:28.740
 maybe your

00:38:28.740 --> 00:38:30.220
 tires are on

00:38:30.220 --> 00:38:31.320
 the apostolic

00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:32.000
 rumble strip

00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:32.800
 and you need

00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:33.160
 to say

00:38:33.160 --> 00:38:33.840
 I need to

00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:34.400
 steer back

00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:35.240
 into the

00:38:35.240 --> 00:38:35.640
 gospel

00:38:35.640 --> 00:38:38.960
 Christ the

00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:39.460
 King Church

00:38:39.460 --> 00:38:41.579
 there's only

00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:42.039
 one true

00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:42.440
 gospel

00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:43.160
 that delivers

00:38:43.160 --> 00:38:45.600
 from beginning

00:38:45.600 --> 00:38:46.059
 to end

00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:46.840
 it's the gospel

00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:48.100
 of our Lord

00:38:48.100 --> 00:38:48.920
 Jesus Christ

00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:50.740
 and we must

00:38:50.740 --> 00:38:51.300
 not

00:38:51.300 --> 00:38:51.980
 we must

00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:52.519
 never

00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:54.320
 turn from

00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:54.640
 it

00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:59.720
 because there's

00:38:59.720 --> 00:39:00.240
 so much at

00:39:00.240 --> 00:39:00.559
 stake

00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:02.539
 let's pray

00:39:02.539 --> 00:39:03.960
 God in heaven

00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:06.240
 thank you so

00:39:06.240 --> 00:39:06.700

00:39:06.700 --> 00:39:07.420
 gospel of Jesus

00:39:09.100 --> 00:39:09.660
 to hear

00:39:09.660 --> 00:39:11.620
 our head

00:39:11.620 --> 00:39:12.280
 was full

00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:13.000
 of rocks

00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:14.980
 our heart

00:39:14.980 --> 00:39:16.000
 was stone

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:17.800
 and you

00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:18.620
 through the

00:39:18.620 --> 00:39:19.180
 preaching of the

00:39:19.180 --> 00:39:19.940
 gospel by the

00:39:19.940 --> 00:39:20.420
 power of the

00:39:20.420 --> 00:39:21.079
 Holy Spirit

00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:22.180
 you

00:39:22.180 --> 00:39:23.280
 enlightened

00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:23.900
 us

00:39:23.900 --> 00:39:25.880
 you

00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:26.639
 awakened

00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:27.079
 us

00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:29.200
 and now

00:39:29.200 --> 00:39:29.900
 Lord Jesus

00:39:29.900 --> 00:39:31.360
 would you

00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:32.180
 in your

00:39:32.180 --> 00:39:32.660
 grace

00:39:32.660 --> 00:39:33.000
 and your

00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:33.440
 mercy

00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:33.760
 and the

00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:34.139
 power of

 the Holy

00:39:34.460 --> 00:39:34.920
 Spirit

00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:35.960
 would you

00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:36.840
 help us

00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:37.500
 to stand

00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:38.000
 firm

00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:38.680
 in the
