00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200
 Let's turn to Genesis chapter 2, Genesis chapter 2.

00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:12.339
 God created the earth in six days and he rested on the seventh.

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:21.420
 It took him six days because that's what he wanted, not because that's what he needed.

00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.940
 He spoke and the stars were in place.

00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:34.359
 He spoke and the sky separated earth from space.

00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:38.500
 He spoke and vegetation came.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.980
 He spoke and animals were created.

00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.460
 He could have done it quicker, but he chose not to.

00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:54.420
 And on the seventh day he rested not because he was tired, because he wasn't,

00:00:54.420 --> 00:01:04.900
 but because he is a God of order and because he wanted to set a pattern for us to know what order is like.

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.480
 I'm not going to chew you out this morning because you're here.

00:01:09.379 --> 00:01:11.760
 I don't need to tell you about Sabbath rest.

00:01:11.980 --> 00:01:14.359
 You're here and worshiping and I thank God for that.

00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:21.900
 Although Sabbath is a Hebrew word for seventh, the New Testament church, after the resurrection,

00:01:22.180 --> 00:01:27.680
 chose Sunday instead to make it the Lord's day and to celebrate in worship.

00:01:28.459 --> 00:01:33.599
 And we follow that pattern, acknowledging that it's a day of worship and rest.

00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.640
 And I just want to encourage you to let him have the whole day.

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:39.420
 Don't give an hour.

00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:40.459
 Don't give him two.

00:01:41.460 --> 00:01:42.620
 Let him have the whole day.

00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:43.439
 Give it to the Lord.

00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:47.859
 And on the sixth day, he created a man.

00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:49.980
 He got to us.

00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:55.420
 So if you were asking the question that people so often ask about other matters,

00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:56.439
 what about me?

00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:57.560
 What about me?

00:01:58.040 --> 00:01:59.939
 Well, what about us?

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.680
 Let's take a few minutes to talk about that, okay?

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.100
 It's in Genesis chapter 2.

00:02:05.780 --> 00:02:07.660
 I want to begin in verse 5.

00:02:08.980 --> 00:02:09.460
 And it says,

00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.599
 When no bush of the field was yet in the land,

00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.099
 and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up,

00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:21.860
 for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land,

00:02:21.900 --> 00:02:24.200
 and there was no man to work the ground,

00:02:24.980 --> 00:02:30.780
 and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground,

00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:35.539
 then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground

00:02:35.539 --> 00:02:38.719
 and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life,

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:41.159
 and the man became a living creature.

00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.000
 And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east,

00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.060
 and there he put the man whom he had formed.

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.240
 And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree

00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.420
 that is pleasant to the sight and good for food.

00:02:56.419 --> 00:02:59.479
 The tree of life was in the midst of the garden,

00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.459
 and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

00:03:03.539 --> 00:03:05.119
 Now let me pause there for just a moment.

00:03:06.399 --> 00:03:11.439
 When it says there there was no bush or small plant of the field,

00:03:12.259 --> 00:03:16.139
 I want to be clear that that is not a conflict in Scripture

00:03:16.139 --> 00:03:22.079
 with the seed-bearing plants that are mentioned on day 3.

00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:22.939
 It's different.

00:03:22.939 --> 00:03:28.879
 This is referring to the garden, not the whole world.

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.639
 It's not referring to the jungles.

00:03:32.740 --> 00:03:34.859
 It's not referring to the plains.

00:03:35.939 --> 00:03:38.139
 It's not referring to the forest.

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.759
 It's not referring to the fields that were created on day 3.

00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:49.939
 It's talking about plants that were to be cultivated by him in the garden.

00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:53.939
 It speaks of the rivers that rolls through there

00:03:53.939 --> 00:03:56.199
 and the location in which that garden was.

00:03:56.340 --> 00:03:58.159
 We can place it because of that.

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.840
 Then in verse 15 it says this,

00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.340
 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden

00:04:06.340 --> 00:04:08.800
 to work it and keep it.

00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.539
 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying,

00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.659
 You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,

00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:19.639
 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat,

00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:24.699
 for in that day that you eat of it you shall surely die.

00:04:25.899 --> 00:04:27.360
 Then the Lord God said,

00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:29.540
 It is not good that a man should be alone.

00:04:29.659 --> 00:04:32.159
 I will make him a helper fit for him.

00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.560
 Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:37.920
 and every bird of the heavens

00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.120
 and brought them to the man to see what he would call them.

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.399
 And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:49.860
 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens

00:04:49.860 --> 00:04:51.439
 and to every beast of the field.

00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:57.220
 But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.

00:04:58.259 --> 00:05:01.680
 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.500
 and while he slept took one of his ribs

00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:06.560
 and closed up its place with flesh.

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.920
 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man

00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.300
 he made into a woman and brought her to the man.

00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:14.620
 Then the man said,

00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:19.500
 This is at last bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.

00:05:19.780 --> 00:05:23.399
 She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man.

00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.180
 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother

00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:28.660
 and hold fast to his wife

00:05:28.660 --> 00:05:31.180
 and they shall become one flesh.

00:05:31.180 --> 00:05:36.420
 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:41.340
 In other words, life was sweet before sin entered in.

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:44.800
 Now let's get to the question.

00:05:46.220 --> 00:05:47.840
 What about us?

00:05:49.300 --> 00:05:52.759
 He created all this world, everything around us.

00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:55.280
 What about us?

00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.219
 The first thing I want you to see from this passage is

00:05:59.219 --> 00:06:01.199
 that he crafted us.

00:06:02.119 --> 00:06:03.739
 He formed us.

00:06:03.859 --> 00:06:05.379
 He made us.

00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.979
 The word for man there is not speaking of making all of mankind.

00:06:11.099 --> 00:06:14.419
 It's not a general word that speaks to all of humanity.

00:06:15.559 --> 00:06:16.839
 There's a word for that.

00:06:17.139 --> 00:06:20.500
 This one instead is Adam and that means a man.

00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:23.299
 He formed a man from the dust

00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:25.900
 and breathed into him with the breath of God.

00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:28.340
 It's interesting to me that with the cosmos

00:06:28.340 --> 00:06:31.340
 it speaks of God speaking and it was.

00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:35.699
 But here it speaks of Adam being handcrafted.

00:06:36.699 --> 00:06:40.199
 Now to me that speaks to our close connection with the world

00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:41.379
 that we live in.

00:06:41.939 --> 00:06:45.180
 That this old frame came from dust

00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:46.560
 and it will return to dust.

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.259
 And then he breathed the breath of life into us.

00:06:50.259 --> 00:06:53.740
 Other animals breathe like we do

00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:57.500
 but they did not come into life through the breath of God.

00:06:58.139 --> 00:06:59.939
 What sustains us?

00:07:00.039 --> 00:07:03.620
 It's the very breath of God.

00:07:04.300 --> 00:07:06.599
 How did he craft us?

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:09.259
 Well, quite amazingly.

00:07:09.259 --> 00:07:14.939
 Let's say we wanted to get an understanding of that

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:17.579
 so I took a knife out

00:07:17.579 --> 00:07:19.420
 and walked down here

00:07:19.420 --> 00:07:21.639
 and grabbed David's arm

00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.079
 and just cut out a little one by one inch chunk of his arm.

00:07:26.099 --> 00:07:27.099
 Took that home with me.

00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:30.339
 Went to my lab there at the house

00:07:30.339 --> 00:07:31.879
 in my high defined microscope.

00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:39.120
 Do you know that in just a one by one inch square of skin

00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:44.719
 that I would find 19 million cells?

00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.259
 And within each one of those 19 million cells

00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:55.459
 I would find libraries of information about him.

00:07:55.459 --> 00:07:59.979
 Not only that, but the average heart

00:07:59.979 --> 00:08:03.459
 is the size of a fist.

00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.019
 Yet that heart pumps blood

00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:08.919
 hopefully all the time.

00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:11.219
 That heart pumps blood

00:08:11.219 --> 00:08:13.659
 and that blood is made up

00:08:13.659 --> 00:08:18.699
 of 25 trillion red blood cells

00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:20.659
 to keep us going

00:08:20.660 --> 00:08:25.400
 and 25 billion white blood cells

00:08:25.400 --> 00:08:26.920
 to fight off sickness

00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.460
 and that it pumps through more than

00:08:29.460 --> 00:08:33.220
 a hundred thousand miles of arteries

00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:36.080
 and veins to keep us alive.

00:08:38.100 --> 00:08:39.480
 I could go beyond that

00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.139
 and talk about the marvels of the eye

00:08:41.139 --> 00:08:43.860
 and how it adjusts automatically

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:45.639
 and is consistently focused

00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.060
 to allow us to see

00:08:48.059 --> 00:08:51.519
 even with the finest smartphones now.

00:08:51.939 --> 00:08:53.739
 They're still trying to adapt a camera

00:08:53.739 --> 00:08:55.000
 that can adjust as quickly

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.619
 as the human eye.

00:08:57.579 --> 00:08:58.419
 It's amazing.

00:08:59.899 --> 00:09:00.799
 And how about an ear

00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.739
 that captures the sound waves

00:09:03.739 --> 00:09:06.000
 that roll through this room

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.739
 and that that eardrum

00:09:08.739 --> 00:09:14.739
 can vibrate 73,000 times a second.

00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:19.299
 won't even get into the brain

00:09:19.299 --> 00:09:21.700
 that central computer

00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:23.259
 of our body.

00:09:24.700 --> 00:09:26.379
 It's amazing what God's done.

00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.460
 He crafted us.

00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:32.840
 He made us.

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.259
 The psalmist put it this way

00:09:36.259 --> 00:09:37.419
 in Psalm 139.

00:09:38.539 --> 00:09:40.700
 For you formed my inward parts.

00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:41.680
 You knitted me together

00:09:41.680 --> 00:09:42.600
 in my mother's womb.

00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.259
 I praise you

00:09:44.259 --> 00:09:45.379
 for I am fearfully

00:09:45.379 --> 00:09:46.360
 and wonderfully made.

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:47.580
 Wonderful are your works.

00:09:47.680 --> 00:09:49.740
 My soul knows it very well.

00:09:50.540 --> 00:09:52.379
 My frame was not hidden from you

00:09:52.379 --> 00:09:54.720
 when I was being made in secret,

00:09:54.920 --> 00:09:55.980
 intricately woven

00:09:55.980 --> 00:09:57.139
 in the depths of the earth.

00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.840
 Your eyes saw my unformed substance.

00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:02.540
 In your book were written

00:10:02.540 --> 00:10:03.420
 every one of them

00:10:03.420 --> 00:10:05.139
 the days that were formed for me

00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:07.800
 when as yet there was none of them.

00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:09.779
 How precious to me

00:10:09.779 --> 00:10:10.800
 are your thoughts, O God.

00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.839
 How vast is the sum of them.

00:10:14.839 --> 00:10:16.219
 If I would count them

00:10:16.219 --> 00:10:18.019
 they are more than the sand.

00:10:18.740 --> 00:10:19.839
 I awake

00:10:19.839 --> 00:10:22.219
 and I am still with you.

00:10:23.439 --> 00:10:24.859
 Folks, I want you to know

00:10:24.859 --> 00:10:27.379
 He crafted us.

00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:30.139
 Not only that,

00:10:30.219 --> 00:10:31.620
 but He cares for us.

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.139
 He cared for us.

00:10:34.139 --> 00:10:36.480
 I want you to notice

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:37.379
 in verse 7

00:10:37.379 --> 00:10:38.460
 that it says

00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:41.120
 the Lord God

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:42.980
 formed the man.

00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.059
 When simply God

00:10:46.059 --> 00:10:47.019
 had been used

00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:48.500
 in Genesis 1

00:10:48.500 --> 00:10:51.100
 and even in the earlier parts

00:10:51.100 --> 00:10:52.740
 of Genesis 2

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:53.779
 when you look at verse 2

00:10:53.779 --> 00:10:54.939
 and you look at verse 3

00:10:54.939 --> 00:10:55.720
 twice,

00:10:56.059 --> 00:10:56.879
 three times

00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:57.720
 in the first three verses

00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.259
 it uses God.

00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:00.559
 But here

00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.139
 when He's dealing with us

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:02.899
 it says

00:11:02.899 --> 00:11:05.259
 Lord God.

00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.139
 Now the word for God

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:08.120
 that is used

00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:09.299
 in Genesis 1

00:11:09.299 --> 00:11:10.699
 and in the first part

00:11:10.699 --> 00:11:11.500
 of Genesis 2

00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:13.059
 is Elohim.

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:14.759
 It is a word

00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:15.379
 that speaks

00:11:15.379 --> 00:11:16.860
 to the power of God.

00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:18.399
 It is a word

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.240
 that is plural

00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:20.120
 that I believe

00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:21.399
 hints to the Trinity

00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:22.519
 of God.

00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.179
 In addition,

00:11:25.539 --> 00:11:26.059
 the word

00:11:26.059 --> 00:11:28.559
 is translated

00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:32.159
 when the Lord

00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:32.679
 is added

00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:33.279
 here

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.199
 in Genesis 2

00:11:35.199 --> 00:11:36.319
 when He's talking

00:11:36.319 --> 00:11:36.799
 about us,

00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:37.500
 the Lord God.

00:11:38.299 --> 00:11:39.240
 When they add that

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:40.639
 you'll notice

00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:41.600
 in your translation

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:42.179
 probably

00:11:42.179 --> 00:11:43.500
 that that word

00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:43.819
 Lord

00:11:43.819 --> 00:11:45.199
 is capitalized

00:11:45.199 --> 00:11:46.939
 with all caps.

00:11:47.539 --> 00:11:48.100
 That word

00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:48.600
 really

00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.740
 is unpronounceable.

00:11:50.740 --> 00:11:52.740
 It is

00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:53.639
 of course

00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:54.340
 written in Hebrew

00:11:54.340 --> 00:11:55.879
 and it is a Hebrew word

00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.379
 and when you

00:11:58.379 --> 00:11:59.379
 transliterate

00:11:59.379 --> 00:12:00.080
 those letters

00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:00.799
 of the Hebrew

00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:02.100
 it comes out

00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:02.759
 like this.

00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:04.860
 It's H-W-H-Y

00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:06.080
 but remember

00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:07.460
 Hebrew

00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:08.200
 reads

00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:09.500
 from the back

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:10.100
 of the book

00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:12.779
 and it reads

00:12:12.779 --> 00:12:13.759
 right to left.

00:12:14.460 --> 00:12:15.000
 So if you turn

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.039
 those letters around

00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:17.299
 you begin

00:12:17.299 --> 00:12:17.659
 to see

00:12:17.659 --> 00:12:18.180
 a formation

00:12:18.180 --> 00:12:18.580
 of a word

00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:19.580
 that you may be

00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:20.680
 familiar with.

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:21.919
 There are no vowels

00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:22.620
 there.

00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:23.399
 It is called

00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:26.259
 the tetragrammaton

00:12:26.259 --> 00:12:27.240
 which means

00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:28.200
 literally in Hebrew

00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:29.899
 four letters.

00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:31.740
 It was put that way

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:32.580
 because the Jews

00:12:32.580 --> 00:12:33.759
 stopped pronouncing

00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:34.560
 this word

00:12:34.560 --> 00:12:36.279
 as a proper

00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:37.039
 respect

00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:37.879
 and reverence

00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:38.580
 for God.

00:12:39.740 --> 00:12:40.519
 Some of it

00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:41.379
 came from a belief

00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:42.440
 that if you

00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:43.360
 call upon Him

00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.299
 if you call His name

00:12:44.299 --> 00:12:45.039
 He'll be there

00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:46.779
 and that's true.

00:12:46.779 --> 00:12:48.519
 However

00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:49.259
 they knew

00:12:49.259 --> 00:12:49.659
 they were

00:12:49.659 --> 00:12:50.199
 unclean

00:12:50.199 --> 00:12:50.839
 at times

00:12:50.839 --> 00:12:51.799
 and fearful

00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:52.939
 of His presence

00:12:52.939 --> 00:12:53.500
 and so

00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:54.480
 they did not

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:55.339
 want to provoke

00:12:55.339 --> 00:12:56.039
 Him to come

00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:56.480
 and see

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:57.179
 the state

00:12:57.179 --> 00:12:58.220
 of their circumstances

00:12:58.220 --> 00:12:58.939
 and respond

00:12:58.939 --> 00:13:00.299
 to their uncleanliness

00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:00.879
 and so therefore

00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:01.899
 they stopped

00:13:01.899 --> 00:13:02.659
 out of reverence

00:13:02.659 --> 00:13:04.079
 saying His name

00:13:04.079 --> 00:13:04.639
 and instead

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:05.259
 when they got

00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:06.000
 to that name

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:06.759
 they would say

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:07.299
 Aldenai.

00:13:07.839 --> 00:13:08.819
 Aldenai means

00:13:08.819 --> 00:13:09.399
 Lord

00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:09.899
 it means

00:13:09.899 --> 00:13:10.399
 Sir

00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:10.899
 it means

00:13:10.899 --> 00:13:11.759
 Master

00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:14.399
 and our best

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:15.100
 guess

00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:16.519
 of what to do

00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:17.379
 with that word

00:13:17.379 --> 00:13:18.019
 if you look

00:13:18.019 --> 00:13:18.799
 at a typical

00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:19.840
 Hebrew

00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.379
 constructed word

00:13:21.379 --> 00:13:22.319
 and how their

00:13:22.319 --> 00:13:23.200
 vowel structure

00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:23.700
 is

00:13:23.700 --> 00:13:24.740
 you would add

00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:25.299
 an A

00:13:25.299 --> 00:13:25.919
 and an E

00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:26.700
 and you would say

00:13:26.700 --> 00:13:27.319
 Yahweh

00:13:27.319 --> 00:13:29.860
 that's the personal

00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:31.460
 name for God.

00:13:32.179 --> 00:13:32.759
 The Germans

00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:33.200
 however

00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:34.399
 decided to take

00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:35.200
 the vowels

00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:36.360
 from Aldenai

00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:37.939
 the word

00:13:37.939 --> 00:13:38.379
 that they would

00:13:38.379 --> 00:13:39.039
 say when they

00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:39.580
 saw that

00:13:39.580 --> 00:13:40.600
 Tetragrammaton

00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:42.860
 and put

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:43.879
 them into

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:45.420
 the word

00:13:45.420 --> 00:13:47.500
 and Germans

00:13:47.500 --> 00:13:48.360
 pronounce things

00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:48.860
 differently

00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:50.759
 so when you

00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:51.480
 look at just

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:52.300
 the consonants

00:13:52.300 --> 00:13:52.960
 instead of it

00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.060
 being a Y

00:13:54.060 --> 00:13:55.360
 and an H

00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:56.080
 and a W

00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:56.960
 and an H

00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:57.759
 it's instead

00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:58.700
 a J

00:13:58.700 --> 00:14:00.279
 and an H

00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:01.320
 and a V

00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.240
 and an H

00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.300
 and when you

00:14:05.300 --> 00:14:05.779
 put

00:14:05.779 --> 00:14:07.680
 the vowels

00:14:07.680 --> 00:14:09.019
 for Aldenai

00:14:09.019 --> 00:14:09.920
 into that

00:14:09.920 --> 00:14:10.500
 word

00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:11.779
 it comes

00:14:11.779 --> 00:14:12.320
 out

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:13.519
 Jehovah

00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.799
 so in other

00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:16.759
 words Jehovah

00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.200
 is an English

00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:19.600
 German

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:20.820
 Hebrew

00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:22.259
 hybrid

00:14:22.259 --> 00:14:23.259
 made up

00:14:23.259 --> 00:14:23.899
 word

00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:26.659
 to identify

00:14:26.659 --> 00:14:29.139
 the personal

00:14:29.139 --> 00:14:30.080
 God

00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.299
 we do all

00:14:33.299 --> 00:14:33.980
 of that

00:14:33.980 --> 00:14:36.179
 because Yahweh

00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:36.940
 is the personal

00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:38.039
 name of God

00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:38.940
 scripture uses

00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:39.540
 it often

00:14:39.540 --> 00:14:41.460
 here it is

00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:42.160
 Yahweh

00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:43.080
 Elohim

00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:44.360
 the Lord

00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:44.920
 God

00:14:44.920 --> 00:14:46.040
 crafted us

00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:47.300
 that means

00:14:47.300 --> 00:14:48.040
 more than just

00:14:48.040 --> 00:14:48.680
 the power

00:14:48.680 --> 00:14:49.760
 of Elohim

00:14:49.760 --> 00:14:50.560
 it also

00:14:50.560 --> 00:14:51.140
 means

00:14:51.140 --> 00:14:52.380
 the love

00:14:52.380 --> 00:14:52.860
 and the

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:53.400
 intensity

00:14:53.400 --> 00:14:54.180
 of love

00:14:54.180 --> 00:14:55.140
 of Yahweh

00:14:55.140 --> 00:14:56.020
 the personal

00:14:56.020 --> 00:14:56.460
 God

00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:57.320
 that word

00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:57.820
 Yahweh

00:14:57.820 --> 00:14:58.680
 is used

00:14:58.680 --> 00:14:59.380
 for God

00:14:59.380 --> 00:15:00.140
 in a compound

00:15:00.140 --> 00:15:01.420
 many times

00:15:01.420 --> 00:15:02.320
 it's used

00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:03.080
 when Abraham

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:04.160
 finds that

00:15:04.160 --> 00:15:05.320
 sacrificial lamb

00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.220
 and he

00:15:07.220 --> 00:15:08.000
 proclaims

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:08.720
 the Lord

00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:09.840
 will provide

00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:10.560
 Yahweh

00:15:10.560 --> 00:15:11.000
 is there

00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:12.540
 when God

00:15:12.540 --> 00:15:13.320
 promises to

00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:13.840
 protect his

00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:14.379
 people from

00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:14.980
 the Egyptian

00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:16.080
 plagues

00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:16.500
 if they'll

00:15:16.500 --> 00:15:17.020
 follow his

00:15:17.020 --> 00:15:17.560
 instruction

00:15:17.560 --> 00:15:18.120
 and put the

00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:18.960
 blood upon

00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:19.680
 the doorpost

00:15:19.680 --> 00:15:22.060
 Yahweh is there

00:15:22.060 --> 00:15:23.480
 and it means

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.000
 the Lord

00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:24.860
 is victor

00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:26.379
 when Gideon

00:15:26.379 --> 00:15:27.200
 builds an altar

00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:28.260
 praising God

00:15:28.260 --> 00:15:29.020
 for leading them

00:15:29.020 --> 00:15:30.000
 out of bondage

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.640
 Yahweh is there

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.439
 and he speaks

00:15:33.439 --> 00:15:34.139
 of the Lord

00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:34.939
 of peace

00:15:34.939 --> 00:15:36.559
 he also

00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.159
 is called

00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:37.699
 the Lord

00:15:37.699 --> 00:15:38.539
 our righteousness

00:15:38.539 --> 00:15:39.559
 he's also

00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:40.480
 called the Lord

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:41.059
 that heals

00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:42.120
 all of them

00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:43.080
 are Yahweh

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:44.000
 compounds

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.220
 every time

00:15:45.220 --> 00:15:45.720
 Yahweh

00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:46.460
 is used

00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:47.419
 it is personal

00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:48.399
 because God

00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:49.220
 is caring

00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:50.679
 and protecting

00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.080
 and leading

00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:53.019
 his people

00:15:53.019 --> 00:15:54.740
 it's used

00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:55.340
 here too

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:56.120
 in verse 7

00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.299
 because God

00:15:58.299 --> 00:15:59.480
 cared for us

00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:00.360
 he didn't

00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:01.460
 just speak

00:16:01.460 --> 00:16:02.379
 to create us

00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:03.560
 he crafted

00:16:03.560 --> 00:16:03.960
 us

00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:04.540
 and then he

00:16:04.540 --> 00:16:04.920
 breathed

00:16:04.920 --> 00:16:06.220
 life into us

00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:06.960
 we are the

00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:07.720
 crown of his

00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:08.220
 creation

00:16:08.220 --> 00:16:09.440
 and he made

00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:10.519
 us to be

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:11.259
 in relationship

00:16:11.259 --> 00:16:11.800
 with him

00:16:11.800 --> 00:16:12.900
 and all the

00:16:12.900 --> 00:16:13.400
 creatures

00:16:13.400 --> 00:16:14.680
 that he created

00:16:14.680 --> 00:16:16.160
 he found

00:16:16.160 --> 00:16:16.920
 none suitable

00:16:16.920 --> 00:16:17.639
 as a helper

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.720
 for the man

00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:19.879
 so he made

00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:20.400
 a woman

00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:21.600
 out of the man

00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.680
 he made us

00:16:23.680 --> 00:16:24.200
 to help

00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:24.740
 one another

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:25.519
 carry out

00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:26.000
 what God

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:26.540
 would have us

00:16:26.540 --> 00:16:26.800
 to do

00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:27.580
 now there's

00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:28.220
 two ways

00:16:28.220 --> 00:16:28.860
 to look at

00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:29.280
 that

00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.379
 that God

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:32.620
 making woman

00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:33.480
 for man

00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:36.220
 women may

00:16:36.220 --> 00:16:36.819
 look at that

00:16:36.819 --> 00:16:37.220
 and say

00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:37.839
 God made

00:16:37.839 --> 00:16:38.439
 man and said

00:16:38.439 --> 00:16:38.759
 I can do

00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:39.120
 better than

00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:39.379
 that

00:16:39.379 --> 00:16:42.220
 so he made

00:16:42.220 --> 00:16:42.579
 woman

00:16:42.579 --> 00:16:44.220
 however one

00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:44.740
 of these guys

00:16:44.740 --> 00:16:45.259
 down here in the

00:16:45.259 --> 00:16:45.919
 front said

00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:47.399
 God made

00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:48.100
 the beast

00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:49.039
 of the earth

00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:50.059
 and the man

00:16:50.059 --> 00:16:51.379
 and then rested

00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:53.339
 then he created

00:16:53.339 --> 00:16:53.720
 woman

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:55.740
 and since then

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:56.939
 beast nor man

00:16:56.939 --> 00:16:57.559
 nor God

00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:58.219
 has rested

00:16:58.219 --> 00:17:01.759
 he did

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:02.299
 I didn't say

00:17:02.299 --> 00:17:02.719
 that

00:17:02.719 --> 00:17:04.419
 he did

00:17:04.419 --> 00:17:05.460
 all of that

00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:08.039
 because he

00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:08.759
 cared for us

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.740
 he created

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:12.119
 us

00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:13.919
 he crafted

00:17:13.919 --> 00:17:14.399
 us

00:17:14.399 --> 00:17:16.259
 he cared

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:16.879
 for us

00:17:16.879 --> 00:17:18.359
 and he

00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:19.119
 called us

00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.519
 he gave us

00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:22.159
 responsibilities

00:17:22.159 --> 00:17:23.019
 to work

00:17:23.019 --> 00:17:23.639
 and to keep

00:17:23.639 --> 00:17:24.500
 what he had

00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:24.960
 provided

00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:26.600
 he gave

00:17:26.600 --> 00:17:26.779
 us

00:17:26.779 --> 00:17:27.160
 liberties

00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:27.960
 to enjoy

00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:28.519
 and he gave

00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:28.700
 us

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:29.319
 regulations

00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:30.000
 to abide

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.600
 by that

00:17:30.600 --> 00:17:32.720
 in verse 15

00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:33.160
 it says

00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:33.840
 that he told

00:17:33.840 --> 00:17:34.319
 Adam

00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:34.900
 to work

00:17:34.900 --> 00:17:35.680
 the ground

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:37.380
 God did

00:17:37.380 --> 00:17:38.000
 not place

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:38.440
 him in a

00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:39.220
 garden of

00:17:39.220 --> 00:17:39.799
 splendor

00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:40.880
 to sit

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:41.220
 idle

00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:41.559
 and do

00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:42.019
 nothing

00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:43.579
 he had

00:17:43.579 --> 00:17:44.319
 responsibility

00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:45.980
 verse 9

00:17:45.980 --> 00:17:46.579
 tells us

00:17:46.579 --> 00:17:47.059
 the trees

00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:47.519
 of the garden

00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:48.019
 were pleasant

00:17:48.019 --> 00:17:48.660
 to look at

00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:49.340
 were good

00:17:49.340 --> 00:17:49.960
 for food

00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:50.779
 the land

00:17:50.779 --> 00:17:51.259
 was there

00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:52.079
 to enjoy

00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:52.500
 and they

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:53.000
 did not

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:53.400
 mean to

00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:54.320
 sit back

00:17:54.320 --> 00:17:54.980
 and enjoy

00:17:54.980 --> 00:17:55.580
 there's a

00:17:55.580 --> 00:17:56.120
 time to

00:17:56.120 --> 00:17:56.620
 rest

00:17:56.620 --> 00:17:57.220
 and there's

00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:57.660
 a time

00:17:57.660 --> 00:17:58.340
 to work

00:17:58.340 --> 00:17:59.160
 God does

00:17:59.160 --> 00:17:59.680
 not call

00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:00.120
 us to

00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:00.560
 sit

00:18:00.560 --> 00:18:01.040
 and do

00:18:01.040 --> 00:18:01.519
 nothing

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:02.060
 there's

00:18:02.060 --> 00:18:02.540
 work to

00:18:02.540 --> 00:18:02.820
 do

00:18:02.820 --> 00:18:03.720
 he's

00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:04.060
 given us

00:18:04.060 --> 00:18:04.860
 a responsibility

00:18:04.860 --> 00:18:06.300
 and we're

00:18:06.300 --> 00:18:06.759
 to till

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.280
 the ground

00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:07.800
 that God

00:18:07.800 --> 00:18:08.380
 gave us

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:08.960
 in life

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:09.300
 and he

00:18:09.300 --> 00:18:09.900
 he will

00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:10.300
 provide

00:18:10.300 --> 00:18:11.200
 our needs

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:12.740
 when we

00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:13.040
 do the

00:18:13.040 --> 00:18:13.360
 task

00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:13.660
 that he

00:18:13.660 --> 00:18:13.880
 sets

00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:14.720
 before us

00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:16.560
 and in

00:18:16.560 --> 00:18:16.880
 the midst

00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:17.220
 of that

00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:17.519
 God

00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:18.019
 has also

00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:18.380
 called

00:18:18.380 --> 00:18:19.480
 them

00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:19.740
 to be

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:20.340
 responsible

00:18:20.340 --> 00:18:21.000
 because there

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:21.460
 are limits

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:21.860
 on what

00:18:21.860 --> 00:18:22.200
 we can

00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:22.519
 do

00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:24.059
 in other

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:24.220
 words

00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:24.559
 with all

00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.160
 the splendor

00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:25.400
 of the

00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:25.639
 garden

00:18:25.639 --> 00:18:26.059
 of Eden

00:18:26.059 --> 00:18:26.779
 at the

00:18:26.779 --> 00:18:27.180
 fingertips

00:18:27.180 --> 00:18:27.599
 of them

00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:28.420
 to manage

00:18:28.420 --> 00:18:28.759
 and to

00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:29.139
 enjoy

00:18:29.139 --> 00:18:30.039
 Adam

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.660
 was not

00:18:30.660 --> 00:18:31.039
 God

00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:31.660
 over that

00:18:31.660 --> 00:18:33.440
 he was

00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:34.079
 to cultivate

00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:34.440
 it

00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:35.220
 he was

00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:35.799
 to manage

00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:35.940
 it

00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:36.240
 he even

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:36.559
 named

00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:37.319
 the animals

00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:38.220
 he had

00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:38.720
 a responsibility

00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:39.180
 but he was

00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:39.680
 not God

00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:40.279
 over that

00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:41.200
 with all

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:41.839
 the pleasure

00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:42.440
 that came

00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:42.799
 there

00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:43.359
 there were

00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:43.639
 still

00:18:43.639 --> 00:18:44.259
 limits

00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:45.879
 never

00:18:45.879 --> 00:18:46.359
 forget

00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:46.819
 folks

00:18:46.819 --> 00:18:47.299
 however

00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:47.900
 God

00:18:47.900 --> 00:18:48.579
 has blessed

00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:48.799
 you

00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:49.119
 no matter

00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:49.819
 how fruitful

00:18:49.819 --> 00:18:50.500
 your life

00:18:50.500 --> 00:18:50.619
 is

00:18:50.619 --> 00:18:51.160
 you are

00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:51.680
 not in

00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:52.359
 charge

00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:54.199
 he's

00:18:54.199 --> 00:18:54.359
 in

00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:54.799
 charge

00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:57.339
 when we

00:18:57.339 --> 00:18:57.500
 have

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:58.059
 entrusted

00:18:58.059 --> 00:18:58.839
 our lives

00:18:58.839 --> 00:18:59.379
 to him

00:18:59.379 --> 00:19:01.179
 we're

00:19:01.179 --> 00:19:01.479
 called

00:19:01.479 --> 00:19:02.000
 to follow

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:02.479
 God's

00:19:02.479 --> 00:19:02.879
 word

00:19:02.879 --> 00:19:05.119
 and let

 me just

00:19:05.379 --> 00:19:05.879
 warn you

00:19:05.879 --> 00:19:06.119
 about

00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:06.599
 something

00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.439
 God's

00:19:09.439 --> 00:19:09.719
 word

00:19:09.719 --> 00:19:10.000
 does

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:10.379
 not

00:19:10.379 --> 00:19:13.139
 dodge

00:19:13.139 --> 00:19:14.859
 and

00:19:14.859 --> 00:19:15.599
 adjust

00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:16.899
 as

00:19:16.899 --> 00:19:17.419
 society

00:19:17.419 --> 00:19:18.059
 changes

00:19:18.059 --> 00:19:23.359
 it

00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:23.379
 it

00:19:23.379 --> 00:19:23.659
 also

00:19:23.659 --> 00:19:23.960
 does

00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:24.179
 not

00:19:24.179 --> 00:19:24.599
 adjust

00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:24.819
 when

00:19:24.819 --> 00:19:25.099
 there's

00:19:25.099 --> 00:19:25.539
 hardship

00:19:25.539 --> 00:19:25.819
 that

00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:26.039
 comes

00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:26.379
 along

00:19:26.379 --> 00:19:30.119
 if

00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:30.299
 the

00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:30.839
 guidance

00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:31.179
 of

00:19:31.179 --> 00:19:31.519
 God

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:31.799
 by

00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:32.079
 his

00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.460
 word

00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:32.700
 is

00:19:32.700 --> 00:19:33.500
 adjustable

00:19:33.500 --> 00:19:34.379
 based

00:19:34.379 --> 00:19:34.700
 upon

00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:34.940
 our

00:19:34.940 --> 00:19:35.720
 circumstances

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:37.319
 if

00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:37.539
 that

00:19:37.539 --> 00:19:37.700
 be

00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:37.879
 the

00:19:37.879 --> 00:19:38.119
 case

00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:38.279
 if

00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:38.419
 we

00:19:38.419 --> 00:19:38.619
 want

00:19:38.619 --> 00:19:38.899
 something

00:19:38.899 --> 00:19:39.220
 bad

00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:39.440
 enough

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:39.639
 we'll

00:19:39.639 --> 00:19:39.859
 find

00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:39.980
 a

00:19:39.980 --> 00:19:40.099
 way

00:19:40.099 --> 00:19:40.200
 to

00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:40.539
 excuse

00:19:40.539 --> 00:19:40.879
 ourselves

00:19:40.879 --> 00:19:41.139
 away

00:19:41.139 --> 00:19:41.299
 from

00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:41.579
 following

00:19:41.579 --> 00:19:41.799
 what

00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:41.980
 God

00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:42.119
 would

00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:42.379
 call

00:19:42.379 --> 00:19:42.539
 us

00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:42.700
 to

00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:42.919
 do

00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:43.500
 but

00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:43.620
 he

00:19:43.620 --> 00:19:43.840
 don't

00:19:43.840 --> 00:19:44.460
 change

00:19:44.460 --> 00:19:45.920
 the

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:46.240
 tree

00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:46.460
 was

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:46.600
 a

00:19:46.600 --> 00:19:46.720
 good

00:19:47.300 --> 00:19:48.960
 it

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.180
 was

00:19:49.180 --> 00:19:49.779
 appealing

00:19:49.779 --> 00:19:52.140
 but

00:19:52.140 --> 00:19:52.279
 it

00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:52.460
 was

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:52.779
 not

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:52.940

00:19:52.940 --> 00:19:53.200
 God

00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:50.440
 that gave

00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:52.440
 God

00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:52.740
 gave

00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:53.359
 messages

00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:53.779
 and he

00:20:53.779 --> 00:20:54.019
 gave

00:20:56.099 --> 00:20:56.799
 illustrations

00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:58.099
 I

00:20:58.099 --> 00:20:58.519
 love

00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:59.899
 Jeremiah

00:20:59.899 --> 00:21:02.339
 Jeremiah

00:21:02.339 --> 00:21:03.119
 saw an

00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:03.539
 almond

00:21:03.539 --> 00:21:04.319
 branch

00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:06.240
 and the

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:06.759
 word for

00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:07.259
 almond

00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:07.899
 in Hebrew

00:21:07.899 --> 00:21:08.920
 also means

00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:09.200
 to

00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:10.800
 watch

00:21:10.800 --> 00:21:13.759
 and when

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:14.259
 he showed

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:14.680
 him that

 almond

00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:15.519

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:15.640
 it's

00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:15.860
 almost

00:21:15.860 --> 00:21:16.140
 like

00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:16.340
 God

00:21:16.340 --> 00:21:16.560
 just

00:21:16.560 --> 00:21:17.080
 highlighted

00:21:17.080 --> 00:21:17.300
 it

00:21:17.300 --> 00:21:17.620
 before

00:21:17.620 --> 00:21:17.980
 him

00:21:17.980 --> 00:21:19.279
 to

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:19.440
 get

00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:19.539
 a

00:21:19.539 --> 00:21:19.740
 word

00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:20.080
 out

00:21:20.080 --> 00:21:23.300
 he

00:21:23.300 --> 00:21:23.519
 told

00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:24.000
 Jeremiah

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:24.500
 in

00:21:24.500 --> 00:21:24.779
 Jeremiah

00:21:24.779 --> 00:21:25.240
 1

00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:26.300
 I'm

00:21:26.300 --> 00:21:26.460
 like

00:21:26.460 --> 00:21:26.620
 that

00:21:26.620 --> 00:21:26.840
 almond

00:21:26.840 --> 00:21:27.120
 branch

00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:27.320
 in other

00:21:27.320 --> 00:21:27.420
 words

00:21:27.420 --> 00:21:27.620
 I'm

00:21:27.620 --> 00:21:28.019
 watching

00:21:28.019 --> 00:21:28.480
 you

00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:30.300
 I

00:21:30.300 --> 00:21:30.460
 know

00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:30.759
 what's

00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:31.140
 happening

00:21:31.140 --> 00:21:33.740
 right

00:21:33.740 --> 00:21:34.200
 after that

00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:34.320
 it

00:21:34.320 --> 00:21:34.720
 records

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:34.960
 that

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:35.640
 he

00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:35.880
 saw

00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:36.080
 a

00:21:36.080 --> 00:21:36.460
 boiling

00:21:36.460 --> 00:21:36.900
 pot

00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:37.100
 that

00:21:37.100 --> 00:21:37.300
 was

00:21:37.300 --> 00:21:37.720
 tilted

00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:38.039
 in the

00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:38.440
 fire

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:40.100
 and

00:21:40.100 --> 00:21:40.320
 God

00:21:40.320 --> 00:21:40.900
 spoke

00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:41.299
 to him

00:21:41.299 --> 00:21:41.600
 as he

00:21:41.600 --> 00:21:42.100
 looked

00:21:42.100 --> 00:21:42.380
 at that

00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:42.660
 boiling

00:21:42.660 --> 00:21:43.100
 pot

00:21:43.100 --> 00:21:45.200
 God

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:45.799
 told him

00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:46.160
 through that

00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:46.440
 boiling

00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:46.759
 pot

00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:46.960
 that

00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:48.220
 by him

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:48.799
 looking at

00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:49.039
 that

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:49.519
 living

00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:50.140
 illustration

00:21:50.140 --> 00:21:51.160
 God

00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:51.380
 said

00:21:51.380 --> 00:21:51.620
 there's

00:21:51.620 --> 00:21:51.799
 going to

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:51.960
 be

00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:52.420
 judgment

00:21:52.420 --> 00:21:52.820
 coming

00:21:52.820 --> 00:21:53.080
 the

00:21:53.080 --> 00:21:53.380
 reason

00:21:53.380 --> 00:21:53.640
 that

00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:54.039
 pot

00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:54.220
 is

00:21:54.220 --> 00:21:54.980
 tilted

00:21:54.980 --> 00:21:55.220
 to

00:21:55.220 --> 00:21:55.380
 the

00:21:55.380 --> 00:21:55.580
 north

00:21:55.580 --> 00:21:55.740
 is

00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:56.059
 because

00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:56.759
 it's

00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:57.080
 coming

00:21:57.080 --> 00:21:57.320
 from

00:21:57.320 --> 00:21:57.460
 the

00:21:57.460 --> 00:21:57.759
 north

00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:01.019
 trouble

00:22:01.019 --> 00:22:01.180
 is

00:22:01.180 --> 00:22:01.480
 coming

00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:03.980
 he was

00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:04.279
 speaking

00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:04.500
 of the

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:04.900
 invasion

00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:05.039
 that

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:05.299
 would lead

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:05.519
 to the

00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:05.920
 exiles

00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:06.120
 what he

00:22:06.120 --> 00:22:06.220
 was

00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:06.460
 speaking

00:22:06.460 --> 00:22:06.640
 of

00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:06.700
 it

00:22:06.700 --> 00:22:06.880
 would

00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:07.180
 come

00:22:07.180 --> 00:22:09.539
 God

00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:10.140
 told

00:22:10.140 --> 00:22:10.980
 Jeremiah

00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:11.299
 to go

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:11.460
 out

00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:11.740
 and buy

00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:12.120
 a linen

00:22:12.120 --> 00:22:12.660
 cloth

00:22:12.660 --> 00:22:13.519
 a garment

00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:14.000
 a loin

00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:14.500
 cloth

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:15.060
 a garment

00:22:15.060 --> 00:22:16.000
 and basically

00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:16.680
 ruin it

00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:17.100
 gave him

00:22:17.100 --> 00:22:17.600
 specific

00:22:17.600 --> 00:22:18.299
 instructions

00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:19.720
 to get it

00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:20.080
 wet

00:22:20.080 --> 00:22:22.140
 and then

00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:22.840
 while it was

00:22:22.840 --> 00:22:23.039
 wet

00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:23.900
 to bury it

00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:25.100
 allow it to

00:22:25.100 --> 00:22:25.720
 mold and

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:26.299
 mild you

00:22:26.299 --> 00:22:26.920
 and ruin

00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:27.740
 and then

00:22:27.740 --> 00:22:28.360
 come back

00:22:28.360 --> 00:22:28.680
 to it

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.120
 at a certain

00:22:29.120 --> 00:22:29.440
 point

00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:30.080
 and pull

00:22:30.080 --> 00:22:30.400
 it back

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:30.820
 out

00:22:30.819 --> 00:22:34.339
 and God

00:22:34.339 --> 00:22:34.779
 told him

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:35.039
 to do

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:35.220
 that

00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:35.899
 to illustrate

00:22:35.899 --> 00:22:36.579
 to him

00:22:36.579 --> 00:22:37.960
 to put

00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:38.359
 a fire

00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:38.639
 in his

00:22:38.639 --> 00:22:38.879
 bones

00:22:38.879 --> 00:22:39.240
 about what

00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:39.419
 he was

00:22:39.419 --> 00:22:39.759
 about to

00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:40.159
 say

00:22:40.159 --> 00:22:41.720
 of how

00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:42.119
 God's

00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:42.379
 people

00:22:42.379 --> 00:22:42.599
 had

00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:44.079
 been

00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:44.559
 crafted

00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:45.079
 and made

00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:45.539
 by God

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:45.980
 but they

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:46.460
 had ruined

00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:47.179
 themselves

00:22:47.179 --> 00:22:48.679
 it would be

00:22:48.679 --> 00:22:49.240
 like buying

00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:49.599
 a new

00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:50.039
 garment

00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:50.460
 and

00:22:50.460 --> 00:22:51.839
 trashing

00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:52.039
 it

00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:52.639
 immediately

00:22:52.639 --> 00:22:54.559
 wasteful

00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:55.939
 God spoke

00:22:55.939 --> 00:22:56.259
 of their

00:22:56.259 --> 00:22:57.240
 wastefulness

00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:58.159
 but it was

00:22:58.159 --> 00:22:58.500
 wonderful

00:22:58.500 --> 00:22:59.119
 illustrations

00:22:59.119 --> 00:22:59.439
 he gives

00:22:59.439 --> 00:22:59.799
 to Jeremiah

00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:00.639
 but my

00:23:00.639 --> 00:23:01.139
 favorite

00:23:01.139 --> 00:23:01.479
 though

00:23:01.479 --> 00:23:01.879
 is when

00:23:01.879 --> 00:23:02.259
 he told

00:23:02.259 --> 00:23:02.500
 him to

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:02.719
 go to

00:23:02.719 --> 00:23:03.259
 the potter's

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:03.639
 house

00:23:03.639 --> 00:23:05.259
 and to

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:05.759
 watch the

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.479
 potter work

00:23:06.479 --> 00:23:06.839
 with the

00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:07.179
 clay on

00:23:07.179 --> 00:23:07.559
 the wheel

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:09.799
 Jeremiah

00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:10.419
 went down

00:23:10.419 --> 00:23:10.699
 there and

00:23:10.699 --> 00:23:11.439
 watched that

00:23:11.439 --> 00:23:12.659
 potter work

00:23:12.659 --> 00:23:14.359
 and he saw

00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:15.199
 him working

00:23:15.199 --> 00:23:15.879
 and making

00:23:15.879 --> 00:23:16.759
 something beautiful

00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:17.199
 with that

00:23:17.199 --> 00:23:17.979
 clay and the

00:23:17.979 --> 00:23:19.059
 clay marring

00:23:19.059 --> 00:23:19.759
 in the hand

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.519
 of the potter

00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:21.579
 but you know

00:23:21.579 --> 00:23:21.939
 what the

00:23:21.939 --> 00:23:22.519
 potter didn't

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:23.519
 just give up

00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:24.079
 on that lump

00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:24.500
 of clay

00:23:24.500 --> 00:23:25.959
 the potter

00:23:25.959 --> 00:23:26.399
 went right

00:23:26.399 --> 00:23:26.839
 back and

00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:27.339
 began to

00:23:27.339 --> 00:23:27.959
 continue to

00:23:27.959 --> 00:23:28.379
 form it

00:23:28.379 --> 00:23:28.719
 and make

00:23:28.719 --> 00:23:29.039
 it into

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:29.839
 what he

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:30.420
 could make

00:23:30.420 --> 00:23:31.000
 it into

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:32.839
 and while

00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:33.819
 Jeremiah was

00:23:33.819 --> 00:23:34.559
 watching after

00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:35.220
 God had given

00:23:35.220 --> 00:23:35.759
 him direction

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:36.220
 to go down

00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:36.619
 there and see

00:23:36.619 --> 00:23:37.139
 what was going

00:23:37.139 --> 00:23:38.279
 on God

00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:39.119
 spoke to him

00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:40.099
 and said

00:23:40.099 --> 00:23:40.759
 y'all are like

00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:41.460
 that piece

00:23:41.460 --> 00:23:42.079
 of pottery

00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:44.519
 y'all are like

00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:45.079
 that clay

00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:46.000
 that mars in

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:46.440
 my hand

00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:46.960
 but I haven't

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:47.559
 given up on

00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:47.839
 you

00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:49.740
 I'm still

00:23:49.740 --> 00:23:50.519
 working and

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:51.240
 molding and

00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:52.059
 making and

00:23:52.059 --> 00:23:53.159
 forming

00:23:53.159 --> 00:23:56.259
 and the word

00:23:56.259 --> 00:23:56.859
 form

00:23:56.859 --> 00:24:00.039
 that's in

00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:00.619
 Jeremiah

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:03.199
 is the same

00:24:03.199 --> 00:24:03.899
 word that's

00:24:03.899 --> 00:24:04.639
 in Genesis

00:24:04.639 --> 00:24:06.139
 2-7

00:24:06.139 --> 00:24:08.099
 God

00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:09.899
 formed us

00:24:09.899 --> 00:24:12.319
 he made

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.559
 us

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.919
 that's how we

00:24:13.919 --> 00:24:14.539
 came about

00:24:14.539 --> 00:24:16.319
 that's what he

00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:17.299
 continues to do

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:18.719
 and the message

00:24:18.719 --> 00:24:19.519
 is that God

00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:20.500
 crafted us

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:21.359
 and he's still

00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:22.439
 crafting us

00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:24.500
 y'all gonna be

00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:25.220
 even better

00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:26.180
 than you are

00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:26.600
 now

00:24:26.600 --> 00:24:27.720
 when God

00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:28.180
 gets done

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:28.539
 with you

00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:29.620
 he's still

00:24:29.620 --> 00:24:30.539
 making and

00:24:30.539 --> 00:24:31.220
 molding you

00:24:31.220 --> 00:24:32.580
 God's still

00:24:32.580 --> 00:24:33.480
 working on us

00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:35.360
 and he'll do

00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:36.120
 that until we

00:24:36.120 --> 00:24:36.860
 see him face

00:24:36.860 --> 00:24:37.500
 to face

00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:39.680
 he crafts

00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:40.160
 us

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:42.279
 not only that

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:42.759
 but he still

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:43.480
 cares for us

00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:43.680
 too

00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:45.660
 he still cares

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:45.920
 for us

00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:46.779
 not only is he

00:24:46.779 --> 00:24:47.480
 that Yahweh

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:48.400
 personal God

00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:49.440
 that interacts

00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:50.259
 for us

00:24:50.259 --> 00:24:51.700
 he's also

00:24:51.700 --> 00:24:52.200
 the God

00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:52.680
 that sent

00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:53.180
 his only

00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:53.839
 son to die

00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:54.519
 for us

00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:56.000
 to forgive us

00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:56.879
 of our wrongdoing

00:24:56.879 --> 00:24:57.759
 and to straighten

00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:58.680
 out our path

00:24:58.680 --> 00:24:59.220
 and to give us

00:24:59.220 --> 00:24:59.680
 hope

00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:01.599
 he's the same

00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:02.299
 God that sent

00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:03.140
 the Holy Spirit

00:25:03.140 --> 00:25:04.900
 to live within

00:25:04.900 --> 00:25:05.180
 us

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:06.000
 to guide us

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:06.839
 to comfort us

00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:07.319
 to give us

00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:07.900
 peace

00:25:07.900 --> 00:25:10.460
 unlike anything

00:25:10.460 --> 00:25:11.259
 that this world

00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:11.779
 can give

00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:12.460
 he still

00:25:12.460 --> 00:25:13.160
 cares

00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:14.900
 for us

00:25:14.900 --> 00:25:19.560
 I saw

00:25:19.560 --> 00:25:20.019
 somebody in

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:20.360
 the hallway

00:25:20.360 --> 00:25:20.820
 today

00:25:20.820 --> 00:25:23.140
 they shared

00:25:23.140 --> 00:25:23.519
 with me

00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:24.040
 something that

00:25:24.040 --> 00:25:24.460
 they're going

00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:24.840
 through

00:25:24.840 --> 00:25:26.740
 a difficulty

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:28.279
 they'd kept

00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:28.940
 rather private

00:25:28.940 --> 00:25:32.940
 in the midst

00:25:32.940 --> 00:25:33.480
 of a battle

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:38.420
 I pray

00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:38.680
 with that

00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:38.960
 person

00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:39.300
 as I

00:25:39.300 --> 00:25:39.660
 prayed

00:25:39.660 --> 00:25:43.240
 for that

00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:43.540
 person

00:25:43.540 --> 00:25:44.040
 I knew

00:25:44.040 --> 00:25:48.440
 what I

00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:48.900
 could do

00:25:48.900 --> 00:25:49.200
 is

00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.120
 not much

00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:53.960
 I love

00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:54.360
 what Jesus

00:25:54.360 --> 00:25:54.759
 says

00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:58.500
 John 14

00:25:58.500 --> 00:25:58.940
 he says

00:25:58.940 --> 00:25:59.480
 peace I leave

00:25:59.480 --> 00:25:59.700
 with you

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:00.140
 my peace

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:00.480
 I give

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:00.660
 to you

00:26:00.660 --> 00:26:01.259
 not as

00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:01.840
 the world

00:26:01.840 --> 00:26:02.279
 gives

00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:02.580
 do I

00:26:02.580 --> 00:26:02.980
 give unto

00:26:02.980 --> 00:26:03.300
 you

00:26:03.300 --> 00:26:04.259
 let not

00:26:04.259 --> 00:26:04.740
 your hearts

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:05.240
 be troubled

00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:05.519
 neither

00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:05.840
 let it

00:26:05.840 --> 00:26:06.440
 be afraid

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:10.240
 I know

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:11.660
 that what

00:26:11.660 --> 00:26:12.220
 I can do

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:12.940
 for somebody

00:26:12.940 --> 00:26:14.680
 is limited

00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:16.039
 in giving

00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:16.700
 peace

00:26:16.700 --> 00:26:17.640
 and in

00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:17.940
 giving

00:26:17.940 --> 00:26:18.600
 comfort

00:26:18.600 --> 00:26:19.880
 and giving

00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:20.620
 guidance

00:26:20.620 --> 00:26:21.900
 and giving

00:26:21.900 --> 00:26:22.420
 help

00:26:22.420 --> 00:26:24.740
 but man

00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:25.320
 I'm thankful

00:26:25.320 --> 00:26:25.759
 today

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:28.559
 that I serve

00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:28.860
 a God

00:26:28.860 --> 00:26:29.380
 that cares

00:26:29.380 --> 00:26:29.759
 for us

00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:30.340
 so much

00:26:30.340 --> 00:26:32.340
 that not

00:26:32.340 --> 00:26:32.779
 only did

00:26:32.779 --> 00:26:33.140
 he send

00:26:33.140 --> 00:26:33.519
 his only

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:33.940
 son to

00:26:33.940 --> 00:26:34.240
 die in

00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:34.779
 our place

00:26:34.779 --> 00:26:35.100
 to give

00:26:35.100 --> 00:26:35.480
 us hope

00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:35.799
 for all

00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:36.320
 of eternity

00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:37.579
 but he

00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:37.939
 sent the

00:26:37.939 --> 00:26:38.419
 Holy Spirit

00:26:38.419 --> 00:26:38.740
 of God

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:39.179
 that meets

00:26:39.179 --> 00:26:39.639
 us right

00:26:39.639 --> 00:26:40.039
 where we

00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:40.460
 are

00:26:40.460 --> 00:26:42.599
 and will

00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:44.099
 be a

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:44.480
 balm

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:44.919
 to our

00:26:44.919 --> 00:26:45.559
 wounds

00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:47.919
 will be

00:26:47.919 --> 00:26:48.619
 a guide

00:26:48.619 --> 00:26:50.000
 to our

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.919
 waywardness

00:26:50.919 --> 00:26:52.720
 will be

00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:53.339
 a strength

00:26:53.339 --> 00:26:53.740
 to our

00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:54.259
 weakness

00:26:54.259 --> 00:26:56.200
 and will

00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:56.559
 be a

00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:56.839
 pickup

00:26:56.839 --> 00:26:57.359
 to our

00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:58.079
 discouragement

00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:00.279
 I want

00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:00.519
 you to

00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:00.700
 know

00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:00.980
 God

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:01.559
 still cares

00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:02.119
 for us

00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:04.759
 he cares

00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:05.220
 for us

00:27:05.220 --> 00:27:05.960
 as much

00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:09.079
 as when

00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:09.480
 he took

00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:09.779
 that

00:27:09.779 --> 00:27:10.140
 dirt

00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:12.860
 and formed

00:27:12.860 --> 00:27:13.100
 us

00:27:13.100 --> 00:27:13.500
 and made

00:27:13.500 --> 00:27:13.799
 us

00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:15.819
 and breathed

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:16.160
 life

00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:16.799
 into us

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:19.279
 and gave

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:19.660
 us the

00:27:19.660 --> 00:27:20.039
 splendor

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:20.279
 of a

00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:20.519
 perfect

00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:20.880
 garden

00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:23.460
 he still

00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:23.900
 loves us

00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:24.420
 that much

00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:25.799
 he still

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.319
 cares for

00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:26.620
 us

00:27:26.620 --> 00:27:28.880
 and he

00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:29.519
 still calls

00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:29.980
 us

00:27:29.980 --> 00:27:30.599
 God

00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:32.160
 because I

00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:32.480
 got news

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:32.740
 for you

00:27:32.740 --> 00:27:33.099
 folks

00:27:33.099 --> 00:27:34.640
 there's

00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:34.940
 still a

00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:35.240
 ground

00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:35.660
 to till

00:27:35.660 --> 00:27:38.160
 there's

00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:38.640
 still fruit

00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:39.000
 to be

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:39.339
 bore

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:41.680
 there's

00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:42.000
 still a

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:42.360
 task

00:27:42.360 --> 00:27:42.819
 that God

00:27:42.819 --> 00:27:43.220
 has set

00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:44.099
 before us

00:27:44.099 --> 00:27:46.160
 Jesus

00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:46.720
 made it

00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:47.319
 clear that

00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:47.759
 hearts

00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:48.680
 and lives

00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:49.079
 are

00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:50.500
 people

00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:50.960
 and he

00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:51.440
 used the

00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:51.860
 ground

00:27:51.860 --> 00:27:52.279
 as an

00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:52.680
 illustration

00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:53.640
 for that

00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:55.960
 that it

00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:56.319
 is our

00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:56.940
 job to

00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:57.360
 scatter

00:27:57.360 --> 00:27:58.240
 the seed

00:27:58.240 --> 00:27:59.120
 of God's

00:27:59.120 --> 00:27:59.700
 message

00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:01.059
 to folks

00:28:01.059 --> 00:28:01.579
 and some

00:28:01.579 --> 00:28:01.900
 of them

00:28:01.900 --> 00:28:02.160
 are going

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:02.700
 to receive

00:28:02.700 --> 00:28:03.019
 it

00:28:03.019 --> 00:28:04.819
 and some

00:28:04.819 --> 00:28:05.000
 of them

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:05.200
 are going

00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:05.700
 to enjoy

00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:06.140
 it

00:28:06.140 --> 00:28:08.240
 and some

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:08.400
 of them

00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:08.559
 are going

00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:08.759
 to be

00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:09.440
 hard

00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:12.579
 crusty

00:28:12.579 --> 00:28:15.539
 rocky

00:28:15.539 --> 00:28:18.539
 and difficult

00:28:18.539 --> 00:28:21.400
 it's not

00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:22.000
 always going

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:22.640
 to be fun

00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:23.559
 living for

00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:24.099
 the Lord

00:28:24.099 --> 00:28:25.420
 celebrating

00:28:25.420 --> 00:28:26.160
 the Lord

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:27.200
 sharing

00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:27.740
 the Lord

00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:28.140
 it's not

00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:28.539
 always

00:28:28.539 --> 00:28:29.079
 easy

00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:30.180
 it's not

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:30.539
 always

00:28:30.539 --> 00:28:31.079
 receive

00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:31.400
 the way

00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:31.640
 it ought

00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:32.059
 to be

00:28:32.059 --> 00:28:35.000
 some

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:35.579
 seed

00:28:35.579 --> 00:28:36.779
 won't

00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:37.339
 take

00:28:37.339 --> 00:28:40.039
 but it's

00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:40.500
 not our

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:41.140
 job to

00:28:41.140 --> 00:28:41.700
 figure out

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:42.160
 the state

00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:42.380
 of the

00:28:42.380 --> 00:28:42.819
 ground

00:28:42.819 --> 00:28:45.259
 it's not

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:45.819
 our job

00:28:45.819 --> 00:28:46.240
 to figure

00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:46.599
 out the

00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:46.859
 dirt

00:28:46.859 --> 00:28:47.220
 in a

00:28:47.220 --> 00:28:47.599
 soul

00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:50.279
 we got

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:50.700
 to scatter

00:28:50.700 --> 00:28:51.240
 seed

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:53.980
 we got

00:28:53.980 --> 00:28:54.680
 to trust

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:57.140
 the one

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:57.880
 who sows

00:28:57.880 --> 00:28:59.519
 to do

00:28:59.519 --> 00:28:59.859
 what he

00:28:59.859 --> 00:29:00.319
 does

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:02.160
 while we

00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:02.539
 live our

00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:03.079
 lives

00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:03.859
 for him

00:29:03.859 --> 00:29:04.220
 God's

00:29:04.220 --> 00:29:04.559
 still

00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:04.940
 calling

00:29:04.940 --> 00:29:05.279
 us

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:07.359
 he's still

00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:07.880
 calling us

00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:08.279
 to make a

00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:08.680
 difference in

00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:09.000
 the world

00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:09.359
 that we're

00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:09.720
 in

00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:11.420
 so whether

00:29:11.420 --> 00:29:11.940
 it's hard

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:12.400
 or whether

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:12.920
 it's fertile

00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:14.920
 we just

00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:15.200
 need to

00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:15.539
 share the

00:29:15.539 --> 00:29:16.000
 message of

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.560
 Christ

00:29:16.560 --> 00:29:18.140
 with our

00:29:18.140 --> 00:29:18.779
 lives

00:29:18.779 --> 00:29:20.240
 with our

00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:20.840
 mouths

00:29:20.840 --> 00:29:24.759
 he still

00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:25.400
 calls us

00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.560
 so let me go

00:29:27.560 --> 00:29:28.019
 back to my

00:29:28.019 --> 00:29:28.660
 question that I

00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:29.100
 began with

00:29:29.100 --> 00:29:29.460
 what about

00:29:29.460 --> 00:29:30.039
 us

00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.320
 well what

00:29:33.320 --> 00:29:34.000
 about us

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:36.579
 we know

00:29:36.579 --> 00:29:37.279
 what he's

00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:37.900
 done for

00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:38.500
 us

00:29:38.500 --> 00:29:40.039
 the question

00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:40.500
 is

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:41.619
 what are we

00:29:41.619 --> 00:29:42.119
 doing for

00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:42.619
 him

00:29:42.619 --> 00:29:49.440
 he's still

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:50.240
 crafting us

00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.640
 he still

00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:53.539
 cares for us

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:55.220
 and he's

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:55.700
 still calling

00:29:55.700 --> 00:29:56.059
 us

00:29:56.059 --> 00:29:58.000
 let's just

00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.440
 answer his

00:29:58.440 --> 00:29:58.819
 call

00:29:58.819 --> 00:30:00.779
 just do what

00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:01.140
 he's telling

00:30:01.140 --> 00:30:01.759
 us to do

00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:04.519
 you may be

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:04.920
 here this

00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:05.420
 morning and

00:30:05.420 --> 00:30:06.000
 there's never

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:06.579
 been a time

00:30:06.579 --> 00:30:06.879
 in your

00:30:06.879 --> 00:30:07.420
 life

00:30:07.420 --> 00:30:09.359
 when you've

00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:09.779
 acknowledged

00:30:09.779 --> 00:30:10.420
 that you've

00:30:10.420 --> 00:30:11.059
 done wrong

00:30:11.059 --> 00:30:11.859
 and separated

00:30:11.859 --> 00:30:12.559
 you from God

00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:13.140
 that wrong

00:30:13.140 --> 00:30:15.200
 it's what the

00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:15.819
 Bible calls

00:30:15.819 --> 00:30:16.500
 sin and it

00:30:16.500 --> 00:30:17.160
 separates you

00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:17.740
 from God

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:18.879
 not only in

00:30:18.879 --> 00:30:19.539
 this life but

00:30:19.539 --> 00:30:20.019
 for all of

00:30:20.019 --> 00:30:20.480
 eternity

00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:23.019
 maybe there's

00:30:23.019 --> 00:30:23.720
 never been a

00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:24.119
 time in your

00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:24.680
 life when you've

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:25.400
 acknowledged that

00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:27.000
 you need to

00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:27.519
 ask God to

00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:28.039
 forgive you of

00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:28.759
 your sins and

00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:30.400
 to cleanse you

00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:31.220
 of your sins

00:30:31.220 --> 00:30:32.220
 and thank God

00:30:32.220 --> 00:30:32.819
 because he did

00:30:32.819 --> 00:30:33.440
 bring Christ

00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:34.200
 Christ will come

00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:35.360
 in and change

00:30:35.360 --> 00:30:36.100
 your life

00:30:36.100 --> 00:30:38.500
 he still cares

00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:39.019
 for us

00:30:39.019 --> 00:30:40.720
 he meets us

00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:41.319
 where we are

00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:42.059
 he crafts us

00:30:42.059 --> 00:30:42.620
 to be what he

00:30:42.620 --> 00:30:43.360
 has us to be

00:30:43.360 --> 00:30:44.059
 and it all

00:30:44.059 --> 00:30:45.140
 begins with a

00:30:45.140 --> 00:30:46.319
 personal relationship

00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:47.180
 with the Lord

00:30:47.180 --> 00:30:47.779
 Jesus Christ

00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:48.960
 it all begins

00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:50.180
 with surrendering

00:30:50.180 --> 00:30:50.900
 your life to

00:30:50.900 --> 00:30:51.539
 follow him

00:30:51.539 --> 00:30:55.480
 open the door

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:56.160
 of your life

00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.559
 let him change

00:30:59.559 --> 00:30:59.839
 you

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:03.220
 maybe you've

00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:03.559
 done that

00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:04.159
 privately

00:31:04.159 --> 00:31:05.579
 but you never

00:31:05.579 --> 00:31:06.399
 told anybody

00:31:06.399 --> 00:31:08.500
 you never

00:31:08.500 --> 00:31:09.159
 followed that

00:31:09.159 --> 00:31:09.980
 up with a

00:31:09.980 --> 00:31:10.839
 public confession

00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:11.519
 of faith

00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:13.240
 and Jesus

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:13.940
 says if you're

00:31:13.940 --> 00:31:14.500
 ashamed of me

00:31:14.500 --> 00:31:15.539
 before men

00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:16.200
 I'll be ashamed

00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:16.619
 of you before

00:31:16.619 --> 00:31:16.940
 my father

00:31:16.940 --> 00:31:17.440
 which means it

00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:18.259
 really ain't real

00:31:18.259 --> 00:31:18.859
 if it's just a

00:31:18.859 --> 00:31:19.799
 private thing

00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:22.819
 God wants us

00:31:22.819 --> 00:31:23.319
 to tell other

00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:23.799
 folks

00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:25.960
 and by his

00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:26.839
 commission and by

00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:27.720
 his example he

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:28.659
 shows us that

00:31:28.660 --> 00:31:29.240
 that's done by

00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:29.759
 baptism

00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:31.740
 if you're here

00:31:31.740 --> 00:31:32.279
 today and you

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:33.019
 know that you've

00:31:33.019 --> 00:31:33.540
 given your heart

00:31:33.540 --> 00:31:34.060
 and life to the

00:31:34.060 --> 00:31:34.640
 Lord but you've

00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:35.420
 never acknowledged

00:31:35.420 --> 00:31:35.820
 that through

00:31:35.820 --> 00:31:36.500
 baptism I

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:36.980
 encourage you to

00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:37.540
 come I'd love to

00:31:37.540 --> 00:31:38.160
 guide you in that

00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:39.900
 process we'll just

00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:40.700
 start a process

00:31:40.700 --> 00:31:43.880
 here maybe you're

00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:44.440
 here this morning

00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:45.220
 and God's drawing

00:31:45.220 --> 00:31:45.740
 you to be a part

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:46.400
 of this church

00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:49.060
 you've worshiped

00:31:49.060 --> 00:31:49.700
 with us and you

00:31:49.700 --> 00:31:50.400
 feel like God's

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:51.060
 leading you

00:31:51.060 --> 00:31:53.519
 we're not perfect

00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:54.259
 nor are you

00:31:54.259 --> 00:31:56.380
 we'll join each

00:31:56.380 --> 00:31:57.019
 other along the

00:31:57.019 --> 00:31:57.360
 journey

00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.339
 and allow God

00:31:59.339 --> 00:31:59.919
 to continue to

00:31:59.919 --> 00:32:00.679
 craft us

00:32:00.679 --> 00:32:02.019
 continue to care

00:32:02.019 --> 00:32:02.479
 for us

00:32:02.479 --> 00:32:03.279
 continue to call

00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:03.779
 us

00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:06.939
 and join each

00:32:06.939 --> 00:32:07.419
 other on that

00:32:07.419 --> 00:32:07.759
 journey

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.019
 of encouragement

00:32:10.019 --> 00:32:11.659
 and strength

00:32:11.659 --> 00:32:12.240
 and hopefully

00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:13.179
 life change

00:32:13.179 --> 00:32:14.879
 for us and all

00:32:14.879 --> 00:32:15.339
 we come in

00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:16.019
 contact with

00:32:16.019 --> 00:32:18.179
 I'd love to

00:32:18.179 --> 00:32:18.519
 talk to you

00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:19.019
 about that

00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:21.139
 or maybe you're

00:32:21.139 --> 00:32:22.579
 here and none

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:23.199
 of that applies

00:32:23.199 --> 00:32:24.059
 to you because I

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:24.579
 don't know what's

00:32:24.579 --> 00:32:25.099
 on your heart

00:32:25.099 --> 00:32:25.799
 I really don't

00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:28.119
 but you need to

00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:28.659
 surrender something

00:32:28.659 --> 00:32:29.159
 to the Lord

00:32:29.159 --> 00:32:32.159
 you've been

00:32:32.159 --> 00:32:32.919
 marring in his

00:32:32.919 --> 00:32:33.799
 hands too often

00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:34.399
 lately and you

00:32:34.399 --> 00:32:35.039
 need to lay that

00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:35.759
 down before the

00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:36.960
 Lord you can do

00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:37.559
 that where you

00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:38.279
 are you can do

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:39.019
 it at this altar

00:32:39.019 --> 00:32:42.039
 I just don't want

00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:42.960
 you to leave here

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:44.419
 until you've done

00:32:44.419 --> 00:32:45.279
 exactly what God

00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:45.799
 would tell you to

00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:46.819
 do I'll never ask

00:32:46.819 --> 00:32:47.319
 you to do more

00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:48.559
 than that I never

00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:49.119
 want you to be

00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:49.879
 satisfied with doing

00:32:49.879 --> 00:32:50.759
 less than that

00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:52.400
 just do what

00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:52.980
 God's leading you

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:53.579
 to do

00:32:53.579 --> 00:32:55.140
 Heavenly Father

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:55.859
 I love you

00:32:55.859 --> 00:32:56.879
 I thank you

00:32:56.879 --> 00:32:57.500
 dear God

00:32:57.500 --> 00:32:59.279
 that the gospel

00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:00.339
 of Jesus Christ

00:33:00.339 --> 00:33:01.220
 comes out

00:33:01.220 --> 00:33:02.160
 even in the

00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:03.519
 formation of man

00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:03.980
 in the very

00:33:03.980 --> 00:33:05.099
 beginning dear God

00:33:05.099 --> 00:33:07.759
 thank you Lord

00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:08.400
 for all you've

00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:09.299
 done for us

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:12.200
 help us to

00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:12.940
 respond to you

00:33:12.940 --> 00:33:13.420
 in obedience

00:33:13.420 --> 00:33:13.900
 God

00:33:13.900 --> 00:33:15.960
 help us to do

00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:16.359
 what you've

00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:17.220
 called us to do

00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:18.680
 help us never

00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:19.359
 to be satisfied

00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:19.960
 with less than

00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:20.500
 that Father

00:33:20.500 --> 00:33:21.839
 in Jesus

00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:22.700
 precious name

00:33:22.700 --> 00:33:23.819
 Amen
