00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.560
 Let's begin with some prayer.

00:00:04.459 --> 00:00:08.700
 And after you can turn in your Bibles to Colossians,

00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:10.339
 or if you're already there, that's great.

00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:12.240
 But let's pray first.

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.640
 So Father, we thank you.

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:23.839
 We thank you that you have given us a church in Cambridge, Lord.

00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:31.699
 And I do pray that you would help this church to re-engage with East Cambridge, Lord,

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.420
 as they had originally been targeting, Lord.

00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:38.439
 But thank you that they can meet here, Lord, in this community center, Lord.

00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.659
 And that your gospel can be shared here and through this community

00:00:43.659 --> 00:00:50.640
 and as well the communities all around Cambridge and other towns, Lord, in the city.

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:56.719
 Your gospel, Lord, is your message of love for your people.

00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:02.640
 And so I pray that that message will be clear, that they would be able to bring that.

00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:06.859
 And I pray that the word today will speak well to us

00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:11.640
 so that we will know more of your wonderful news, the gospel,

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.040
 and your wonderful love for us.

00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:17.260
 Lord, I thank you.

00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:19.060
 I thank you for this church.

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:23.859
 It's such a blessing to have this church here, Lord,

00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:28.300
 and that you're continuing to grow it both numerically and spiritually.

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:38.840
 We ask that you would make it a wonderful church that continues to just share your love

00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:43.740
 with those in the community and share your love with each other, Lord.

00:01:43.739 --> 00:01:48.379
 I pray that they would build each other up in this church.

00:01:48.899 --> 00:01:50.399
 I pray this in Jesus' name.

00:01:50.819 --> 00:01:51.119
 Amen.

00:01:52.259 --> 00:01:54.919
 So let's turn in our Bibles to Colossians.

00:02:00.019 --> 00:02:02.679
 And I just want to say thanks for having me here.

00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:07.679
 I mean, Jen's like, oh, this is such a privilege to have me.

00:02:07.780 --> 00:02:10.699
 I feel like, oh, I'm the one that's privileged to be here.

00:02:10.699 --> 00:02:16.019
 It's really, really good every time I get to see familiar faces and some new faces,

00:02:16.139 --> 00:02:17.119
 which is fantastic.

00:02:17.679 --> 00:02:20.899
 I love seeing how the church changes over time.

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:25.719
 In some ways, it stays the same, too, which is wonderful.

00:02:25.839 --> 00:02:30.459
 And I love seeing how many of you serve in such different ways.

00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.639
 So I feel very privileged to be here.

00:02:35.539 --> 00:02:39.359
 That has nothing to do with my sermon, but I just wanted to say thank you.

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:40.320
 Thanks for having me.

00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.180
 So let's stand in Colossians 1.

00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:45.360
 Let's stand as well as I read.

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:49.820
 And I'm actually going to read from starting Colossians 1, verse 1,

00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.460
 although I'm going to focus my sermon in verses 9 to 14,

00:02:54.580 --> 00:02:57.720
 so pay special attention when I get there.

00:02:57.780 --> 00:03:03.260
 But I'm going to start in verse 1 just so you get the context of what Paul is talking about here.

00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.140
 So Colossians 1, 1.

00:03:05.139 --> 00:03:11.619
 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God and Timothy, our brother,

00:03:11.819 --> 00:03:15.159
 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae.

00:03:15.979 --> 00:03:18.519
 Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

00:03:19.079 --> 00:03:23.560
 We always thank God, the Father, our Lord Jesus Christ,

00:03:24.079 --> 00:03:28.359
 when we pray for you since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus

00:03:28.359 --> 00:03:30.619
 and of the love that you have for all the saints

00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:33.659
 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven.

00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.280
 Of this you have heard before in the word of truth the gospel

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.620
 which has come to you as indeed in the whole world is bearing fruit and increasing

00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:47.400
 as it also does among you since the day you heard it

00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.120
 and understood the grace of God in truth.

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.680
 Just as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant,

00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.200
 he is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:02.580
 and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.

00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:07.080
 And so, from the day we heard,

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.439
 we have not ceased to pray for you,

00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:14.240
 asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will

00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.060
 and in all spiritual wisdom and understanding

00:04:17.060 --> 00:04:20.100
 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord,

00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.879
 fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work

00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.019
 and increasing in the knowledge of God,

00:04:26.300 --> 00:04:31.839
 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might

00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.800
 for all endurance and patience with joy,

00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.600
 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.480
 to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:44.600
 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.860
 and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son

00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:54.819
 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

00:04:56.020 --> 00:04:56.540
 Amen.

00:04:56.780 --> 00:04:57.400
 You may be seated.

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.680
 Now, I have a question or a scenario for you, really,

00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:09.780
 to imagine with me.

00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:12.560
 And maybe this isn't like your life

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.120
 and you'll never own a boat.

00:05:14.259 --> 00:05:14.800
 That's okay.

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.240
 And you won't immediately see how it's relevant to the scripture,

00:05:18.520 --> 00:05:20.340
 but bear with me a little bit.

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:22.180
 So, imagine this scenario.

00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.660
 You're getting ready for a boating trip, right?

00:05:25.020 --> 00:05:26.800
 You get together, you're fishing gear.

00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.420
 Maybe you don't own a boat, you know, really,

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:29.980
 but just bear with me.

00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:34.100
 So, you get all your together,

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.019
 together your fishing gear, your bait and tackle box.

00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.540
 You make up some sandwiches for lunch and snacks and drinks.

00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:43.480
 You know, you put them in the cooler.

00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:44.480
 Make sure you bring that.

00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.740
 Life vests, you get some swimming gear,

00:05:46.840 --> 00:05:50.140
 maybe some water skis, snorkels, inflatable tubes,

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.300
 all that good stuff.

00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:54.180
 You know, you're going to make a real great trip out of this.

00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:55.840
 And you really map out the trip

00:05:55.840 --> 00:05:57.500
 of where you're going to depart from the dock.

00:05:57.700 --> 00:06:00.420
 And then you're going to travel for some good fishing areas

00:06:00.420 --> 00:06:02.980
 and some maybe some good water skiing.

00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.580
 And then maybe a scenic area for lunch.

00:06:06.700 --> 00:06:08.920
 And, you know, you bring an extra change of clothes,

00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.100
 some towels, got to bring the sunblock,

00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:12.860
 bug spray in case there's bugs.

00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:15.520
 And you got to get, like, the GPS device

00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:17.180
 and the fish tracker, all that, like,

00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.300
 high-tech stuff that I have no clue about.

00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.020
 But you bring all that stuff, too,

00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:23.160
 because you know you got all this stuff.

00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:24.600
 And you head out of the house,

00:06:24.660 --> 00:06:26.000
 and you travel down to the dock,

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:27.960
 ready with all your stuff,

00:06:28.300 --> 00:06:32.560
 but you forgot to bring the boat.

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.100
 You forgot the main thing.

00:06:37.100 --> 00:06:39.780
 Imagine how ridiculous that would be, right?

00:06:42.020 --> 00:06:44.160
 All that other stuff is meaningless

00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.420
 without the point of your trip, the boat.

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:50.820
 And in a similar way,

00:06:50.900 --> 00:06:53.140
 all the stuff of Christianity

00:06:53.140 --> 00:06:58.460
 is meaningless without Christ and Him crucified.

00:06:58.459 --> 00:07:03.719
 Paul's concern for the church in Colossae,

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.959
 and really God's concern for all churches,

00:07:06.359 --> 00:07:09.639
 is that we would remember the main thing

00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.000
 and keep the main thing the main thing.

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.779
 That we would know and live out the core of Christianity,

00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.620
 Christ and Him crucified.

00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:26.079
 And so, how I would summarize this passage

00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.720
 is maybe not evident that I'm bringing it back

00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.939
 to the main thing, but bear with me again.

00:07:32.980 --> 00:07:36.079
 That's what he's talking about in verses 9 to 14,

00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.819
 is pray for God to give us knowledge of His will

00:07:39.819 --> 00:07:42.620
 and make us thankful for deliverance.

00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:46.180
 Pray for God to give us knowledge of His will

00:07:46.180 --> 00:07:48.259
 and make us thankful for deliverance.

00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.259
 It's a very simple message here.

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.379
 You've probably all heard it before,

00:07:52.699 --> 00:07:55.360
 but we need reminders again and again.

00:07:56.300 --> 00:07:58.480
 So, Paul's prayer for the church in Colossae

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.860
 is this prayer really for all churches.

00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:04.439
 And let me be clear here,

00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:09.060
 by church we mean the people which make up the church.

00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:11.079
 We're not the building, obviously.

00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.819
 And not just the leaders that make up a church.

00:08:14.899 --> 00:08:17.359
 We're talking about all who are part

00:08:17.359 --> 00:08:20.139
 of a local expression of God's people.

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:23.879
 That's Paul's prayer includes all churches

00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.259
 and includes your church.

00:08:27.339 --> 00:08:30.379
 And we can face similar dangers

00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:32.539
 that this church in Colossae faced.

00:08:33.179 --> 00:08:36.000
 And we can even face false teaching at times.

00:08:36.100 --> 00:08:37.620
 We can face similar struggles.

00:08:37.620 --> 00:08:41.179
 And so we should endeavor to have

00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:43.980
 and to be what He prays for.

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.539
 Paul prays for us.

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.220
 Paul prays for this church.

00:08:48.560 --> 00:08:50.879
 And so we should endeavor to have

00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.480
 and be what He prays for.

00:08:53.460 --> 00:08:57.539
 Paul's prayer should be our prayer for our church.

00:08:57.740 --> 00:09:00.379
 It should be your prayer for your church.

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.000
 It should be your prayer for other churches.

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:10.460
 and that's my continual prayer for you.

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.139
 You know, I have to admit that I don't pray as much as I'd like.

00:09:15.259 --> 00:09:20.200
 I don't know if I pray never ceasing like Paul does.

00:09:20.539 --> 00:09:21.580
 I would love to.

00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.320
 I want to increase my prayer

00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.320
 but I do commit to you

00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.419
 whether I'm officially a borrowed elder of yours

00:09:30.419 --> 00:09:33.200
 or just a guy on the street.

00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.200
 I will continue to pray for you.

00:09:36.780 --> 00:09:37.840
 You will be in my prayer.

00:09:38.300 --> 00:09:40.480
 Really, you will be.

00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:43.759
 And I pray that you will continue to grow

00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:47.540
 and that you will never lose sight of the gospel.

00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.860
 And I pray that you will never lose sight

00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:54.960
 of Christ's amazing and miraculous work

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:59.600
 that he continues to do through you at this church.

00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:03.340
 And I will continue to pray for you

00:10:03.340 --> 00:10:07.180
 as long as you are a church and I am alive.

00:10:07.580 --> 00:10:10.259
 Really, I'm going to commit to that.

00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:12.480
 I want to continue to pray for you.

00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.379
 You're near and dear to my heart

00:10:15.379 --> 00:10:18.840
 and your work in reaching the lost in Cambridge

00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:21.300
 is near to my heart as well.

00:10:21.299 --> 00:10:25.059
 I've worked in Cambridge for almost 13 years now.

00:10:26.299 --> 00:10:28.459
 Actually, before that I worked in Cambridge too.

00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:32.379
 So I worked in Cambridge for quite a while

00:10:32.379 --> 00:10:34.879
 and the people of Cambridge are on my heart.

00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:36.899
 People in New England are on my heart.

00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.279
 So I'll continue to pray for you.

00:10:39.779 --> 00:10:41.120
 That's my commitment to you.

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.500
 Now, I want you to also pray as a result too.

00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:51.759
 So it's worthwhile looking into how Paul prays

00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.820
 because I think that should model how we pray at times.

00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:57.440
 You don't necessarily have to always pray this way,

00:10:57.700 --> 00:10:59.659
 but these are good things to pray for

00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:01.980
 and to pray for your specific church

00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:03.440
 and to pray for other churches.

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:06.860
 And so there are really two parts here to Paul's prayer.

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:08.240
 And the first is this.

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:12.039
 It says, know God's will so that you may walk

00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:13.620
 in a manner worthy of him.

00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.159
 Know God's will so that you may walk

00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:17.860
 in a manner worthy of him.

00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:19.680
 This is verses nine to 12.

00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:24.259
 And in a commentary written by Grant Osborne,

00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.500
 he describes the establishment of this church in Colossae.

00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.759
 So just a little bit of background in this church.

00:11:33.379 --> 00:11:37.879
 It was founded during the third missionary journey

00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:40.519
 in which Paul spent over two years in Ephesus,

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:41.919
 a city nearby.

00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.039
 And he may have sent evangelists

00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.820
 into the whole province in that area

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:50.200
 with the result that all the Jews and Greeks

00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:51.720
 who lived in the province of Asia

00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:53.279
 heard the word of the Lord.

00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:54.879
 That was Acts 19.

00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:57.740
 Now, we don't know if Paul himself

00:11:57.740 --> 00:11:59.399
 ever actually visited Colossae,

00:11:59.439 --> 00:12:01.000
 and I think probably not,

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.080
 but we do know the founding pastor of the church

00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:07.279
 was Epaphras, which is mentioned as I read.

00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.639
 He came from Colossae.

00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:13.340
 He was converted under Paul in Ephesus

00:12:13.340 --> 00:12:16.580
 and returned to his home area with the gospel.

00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:19.860
 And nearly all the converts of Colossae

00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:22.820
 were Gentiles, not Jews.

00:12:24.740 --> 00:12:26.980
 And Epaphras, I think the really interesting part

00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:29.340
 about this, this isn't the main point of the message,

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.519
 but Epaphras was really just a guy

00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.740
 who heard the gospel and brought it back home with them.

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:38.940
 I think that's something for us to consider

00:12:38.940 --> 00:12:41.200
 for mission work sometimes done, you know,

00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.259
 by men who don't necessarily feel called

00:12:43.259 --> 00:12:45.860
 to be a pastor, and by women,

00:12:45.940 --> 00:12:48.159
 whether you have seminary training or not,

00:12:48.259 --> 00:12:49.399
 whether you've been trained,

00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:53.080
 you can bring the gospel with you.

00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:57.139
 And maybe America is not your home country.

00:12:57.460 --> 00:13:00.279
 Maybe you'll bring it back to where you came from.

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.019
 Maybe U.S. is home,

00:13:03.139 --> 00:13:07.299
 but you have a desire for China or elsewhere.

00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:10.360
 Maybe you can bring the gospel there.

00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.539
 You don't have to be a pastor.

00:13:13.439 --> 00:13:15.000
 You don't necessarily even have to be

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.939
 the stereotypical missionary,

00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:19.720
 but just somebody who works in China.

00:13:22.059 --> 00:13:24.220
 Anyway, that's a topic for another day.

00:13:24.220 --> 00:13:28.320
 The Christians in Colossae were dealing

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:29.899
 with some false teaching.

00:13:30.779 --> 00:13:34.620
 Teaching was this kind of a proto-Gnostic philosophy.

00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:36.340
 If you're familiar with Gnosticism,

00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:40.160
 it basically said that the physical is evil

00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:43.519
 and the spiritual is good,

00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:46.899
 or that the physical is unimportant,

00:13:47.660 --> 00:13:50.000
 and the only thing that matters is the spiritual.

00:13:51.300 --> 00:13:53.540
 And so they proposed, some of them proposed,

00:13:53.539 --> 00:13:56.259
 that Jesus was not really physically God.

00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:58.839
 And they promoted the way to salvation

00:13:58.839 --> 00:14:01.500
 was a direct knowledge of God,

00:14:01.579 --> 00:14:03.019
 or direct knowledge to God.

00:14:04.179 --> 00:14:05.899
 And we don't really know how developed

00:14:05.899 --> 00:14:08.779
 the ideas of Gnosticism were at the time of this writing,

00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.039
 but we do know that some of the struggles

00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:12.959
 that the church in Colossae had,

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.319
 they faced because of this particular heresy.

00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:18.319
 And it focused on knowledge

00:14:18.319 --> 00:14:21.199
 and delving deep into philosophies

00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:24.020
 that were really speculative at best.

00:14:24.920 --> 00:14:26.640
 And they also promoted, you know,

00:14:26.700 --> 00:14:28.540
 certain rules about eating and drinking

00:14:28.540 --> 00:14:31.860
 and various rules about religious festivals.

00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.820
 And all this meant that these teachers

00:14:34.820 --> 00:14:38.680
 were drawing focus away from the truth.

00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:43.259
 Salvation through Christ alone.

00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:47.080
 Paul writes this letter to reiterate

00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.600
 what he first taught them,

00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.259
 or really first taught Epaphras,

00:14:51.439 --> 00:14:52.519
 who then taught them.

00:14:53.059 --> 00:14:55.720
 Faith in Christ is the way to salvation.

00:14:56.299 --> 00:14:57.919
 It doesn't depend on our works.

00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.039
 It doesn't depend on our knowledge

00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.439
 or our wisdom or our intelligence.

00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:07.279
 It doesn't depend on what we eat or don't eat

00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:08.879
 or what we drink or don't drink,

00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.220
 or whether we observe certain rules

00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:12.480
 about religious festivals.

00:15:14.800 --> 00:15:15.879
 This is the truth,

00:15:15.940 --> 00:15:18.560
 that Jesus Christ lived a perfect life

00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:20.399
 physically and spiritually.

00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:23.940
 He died physically on the cross for our sins.

00:15:24.500 --> 00:15:26.980
 And he has risen from the grave physically.

00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:31.019
 He is seated on the right hand of the Father

00:15:31.019 --> 00:15:35.100
 in heaven where he intercedes for us.

00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.779
 So that if you have faith in him

00:15:37.779 --> 00:15:39.100
 and you repent,

00:15:39.899 --> 00:15:41.419
 he has saved you.

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.939
 He has forgiven you.

00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:45.659
 He's called you brother or sister.

00:15:45.939 --> 00:15:48.480
 And the Father has called you son or daughter.

00:15:50.939 --> 00:15:53.279
 What Paul is reminding them of

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.459
 is that Jesus Christ is your core.

00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:59.779
 He's reminding us of the same thing.

00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:01.600
 Jesus Christ is our center.

00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:03.240
 He's how we're saved,

00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:06.779
 but also how we continue in the faith.

00:16:06.779 --> 00:16:09.039
 He's how we're saved,

00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.720
 and how we continue in the faith.

00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:14.500
 There's not some higher truth

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:15.860
 that we'll eventually get to

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:18.059
 after you kind of get the basics of Christianity

00:16:18.059 --> 00:16:18.779
 out of the way.

00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:20.779
 Christ is the core,

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:22.100
 and he's our life.

00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.759
 And we should never move beyond this.

00:16:28.339 --> 00:16:29.720
 It's particularly interesting

00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:31.720
 that Paul is praying for the Colossians

00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:32.399
 to know,

00:16:33.319 --> 00:16:35.319
 to grow in knowledge.

00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:37.640
 The false teachers were saying

00:16:37.640 --> 00:16:39.180
 something kind of similar.

00:16:40.260 --> 00:16:41.860
 That we need to grow in knowledge

00:16:41.860 --> 00:16:43.040
 to be closer to God

00:16:43.640 --> 00:16:44.840
 or attain salvation,

00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:46.379
 or to grow in knowledge

00:16:46.379 --> 00:16:47.520
 for the sake of knowledge.

00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.600
 But Paul's very specific

00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.500
 in what kind of knowledge.

00:16:52.580 --> 00:16:53.660
 What kind of knowledge

00:16:53.660 --> 00:16:55.360
 does Paul want us to have?

00:16:57.760 --> 00:16:59.320
 It says in verse 9,

00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:00.280
 9,

00:17:00.920 --> 00:17:04.519
 knowledge of God's will.

00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:06.480
 That's interesting.

00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:08.320
 Verse 9 to 10,

00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:09.860
 And so from the day that we heard,

00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:11.519
 we had not ceased to pray for you,

00:17:11.580 --> 00:17:13.160
 asking that you may be filled

00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.220
 with the knowledge of his will

00:17:15.220 --> 00:17:16.580
 and all spiritual wisdom

00:17:16.580 --> 00:17:17.740
 and understanding,

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.860
 so as to walk in a manner

00:17:19.860 --> 00:17:21.460
 worthy of the Lord,

00:17:21.580 --> 00:17:22.779
 fully pleasing to him.

00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:27.440
 As I studied the passage,

00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:28.039
 that really,

00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:30.819
 it grabbed me.

00:17:31.859 --> 00:17:33.019
 The kind of knowledge

00:17:33.019 --> 00:17:34.039
 that we're to grow in

00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:35.359
 is not a knowledge

00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:36.460
 for the sake of knowledge.

00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:37.279
 It's not a knowledge

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:38.579
 that puffs us up.

00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:39.319
 Hey, I'm gonna,

00:17:39.740 --> 00:17:41.160
 I'm gonna get all the knowledge

00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:41.899
 of the world.

00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:44.639
 I'm gonna get my doctorate

00:17:44.639 --> 00:17:45.879
 and be really super smart.

00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:48.819
 Not that that's bad.

00:17:48.819 --> 00:17:51.779
 But it's a knowledge

00:17:51.779 --> 00:17:52.659
 of God's will

00:17:52.659 --> 00:17:54.679
 so as to walk

00:17:54.679 --> 00:17:55.819
 in a manner

00:17:55.819 --> 00:17:57.519
 worthy of the Lord.

00:17:58.679 --> 00:17:59.819
 This is not a knowledge

00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:01.700
 for its own sake,

00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:02.779
 a knowledge that will

00:18:02.779 --> 00:18:04.059
 make us really smart.

00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:05.539
 It's a knowledge

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:07.119
 so that we will walk

00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:08.240
 in a manner

00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:10.439
 worthy of the Lord.

00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:13.240
 Not a knowledge

00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:13.899
 of God's will

00:18:13.899 --> 00:18:14.579
 so that you'll know

00:18:14.579 --> 00:18:15.519
 like what college

00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.480
 you should go to

00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:18.299
 or who you should marry.

00:18:18.299 --> 00:18:18.960
 Not a knowledge

00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:20.039
 of what career

00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:21.119
 you should go into.

00:18:21.299 --> 00:18:21.859
 Not a knowledge

00:18:21.859 --> 00:18:22.599
 of when

00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:23.519
 or how many kids

00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:24.299
 you should have.

00:18:25.419 --> 00:18:26.059
 Not a knowledge

00:18:26.059 --> 00:18:26.700
 of, you know,

00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:27.480
 what stocks

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.159
 or investments

00:18:28.159 --> 00:18:29.799
 you should get into.

00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:30.659
 It's a knowledge

00:18:30.659 --> 00:18:31.419
 of God's will

00:18:31.419 --> 00:18:32.359
 so that you will grow

00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:33.359
 in holiness

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.740
 and sanctification.

00:18:35.059 --> 00:18:35.559
 A knowledge

00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:36.220
 that leads you

00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:37.539
 to act more

00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:39.039
 like Jesus Christ.

00:18:42.940 --> 00:18:44.000
 And this matters

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:44.659
 a lot

00:18:44.659 --> 00:18:46.079
 because if you try

00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:46.960
 to serve God

00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:48.100
 and worship Him

00:18:48.100 --> 00:18:49.200
 without knowledge

00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:50.220
 of His will,

00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:52.039
 you'll be worshipping

00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:52.559
 a God

00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:54.000
 of your own imagination.

00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:56.600
 And many people

00:18:56.600 --> 00:18:57.259
 try to do that.

00:18:57.660 --> 00:18:58.140
 It's really

00:18:58.140 --> 00:18:59.440
 not that much different

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.220
 than worshipping

00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:01.000
 a God made

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:01.779
 of wood

00:19:01.779 --> 00:19:02.700
 or stone

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:04.319
 or gold.

00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.380
 We must know

00:19:08.380 --> 00:19:09.100
 God's will

00:19:09.100 --> 00:19:09.640
 to know

00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:11.720
 who He is.

00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.640
 There are

00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:15.259
 really four aspects

00:19:15.259 --> 00:19:16.220
 of being filled

00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:16.839
 with the knowledge

00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:17.579
 of God's will

00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:18.440
 that Paul prays

00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:19.059
 for this church

00:19:19.059 --> 00:19:20.039
 and really is praying

00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:21.100
 for us too.

00:19:21.360 --> 00:19:22.779
 And I pray for you.

00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:25.100
 I have them

00:19:25.100 --> 00:19:26.380
 A, B, C, D here.

00:19:26.660 --> 00:19:27.779
 A is bearing fruit

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:29.100
 in every good work.

00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:29.920
 Verse 10.

00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:31.920
 B is increasing

00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:32.579
 in the knowledge

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:33.039
 of God.

00:19:33.120 --> 00:19:33.940
 Again, verse 10.

00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:36.120
 C is being strengthened

00:19:36.120 --> 00:19:37.100
 with all power.

00:19:37.220 --> 00:19:38.839
 And D, giving thanks

00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.119
 for our share

00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:40.859
 in the inheritance.

00:19:42.639 --> 00:19:43.159
 And so we'll go

00:19:43.159 --> 00:19:43.539
 through these

00:19:43.539 --> 00:19:44.319
 really briefly

00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:45.599
 but I just want

00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:46.159
 to lay out

00:19:46.159 --> 00:19:47.279
 His prayers

00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:49.399
 are really specific

00:19:49.399 --> 00:19:49.959
 in a number

00:19:49.959 --> 00:19:50.819
 of these areas.

00:19:51.339 --> 00:19:51.699
 So A,

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.259
 bearing fruit

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:53.039
 in every good work.

00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:53.579
 Verse 10.

00:19:53.859 --> 00:19:54.599
 There are many

00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:55.319
 false teachings

00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:56.359
 that this church

00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:56.799
 is facing

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:57.519
 as I mentioned.

00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:59.000
 And there are

00:19:59.000 --> 00:19:59.579
 many worldly

00:19:59.579 --> 00:20:00.679
 philosophies

00:20:00.679 --> 00:20:01.539
 that really

00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:03.559
 assault our eyes

00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:04.399
 and our ears.

00:20:05.679 --> 00:20:06.339
 But Paul

00:20:06.339 --> 00:20:07.059
 is not praying

00:20:07.059 --> 00:20:07.740
 that our knowledge

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:08.379
 of God's will

00:20:08.380 --> 00:20:09.640
 is to combat

00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:10.880
 these false teachings.

00:20:11.020 --> 00:20:12.280
 Not directly anyway.

00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:14.000
 He's not praying

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.280
 so that we can engage

00:20:15.280 --> 00:20:16.160
 and debate well

00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:16.840
 although certainly

00:20:16.840 --> 00:20:17.860
 that can happen.

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:19.780
 That's not His focus.

00:20:21.540 --> 00:20:22.420
 Our focus is not

00:20:22.420 --> 00:20:22.960
 to match

00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:24.100
 these philosophies

00:20:24.100 --> 00:20:26.140
 with our own philosophies.

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:27.340
 What God wants

00:20:27.340 --> 00:20:27.900
 for us

00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:28.760
 is that we would

00:20:28.760 --> 00:20:29.460
 know His will

00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:30.460
 so that we will

00:20:30.460 --> 00:20:31.960
 bear good fruit.

00:20:33.320 --> 00:20:34.680
 Our study of Scripture

00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:36.560
 even deep

00:20:36.560 --> 00:20:37.420
 theological

00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:39.380
 study should be

00:20:39.380 --> 00:20:40.480
 practical.

00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:42.800
 It should affect us.

00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:43.920
 It should lead us

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.480
 to change

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:45.220
 in our behavior

00:20:45.220 --> 00:20:45.779
 or our thoughts

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:47.039
 such that we

00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.060
 do good works.

00:20:50.660 --> 00:20:51.000
 You know,

00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:52.660
 I know too many people

00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:53.560
 and we all

00:20:53.560 --> 00:20:55.100
 can be tempted

00:20:55.100 --> 00:20:55.480
 to this

00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:56.420
 but too many people

00:20:56.420 --> 00:20:57.420
 have delved deep

00:20:57.420 --> 00:20:58.800
 into studying theology

00:20:58.800 --> 00:20:59.880
 and studying Scripture

00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:00.519
 and increasing

00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:01.580
 their knowledge of God.

00:21:01.900 --> 00:21:02.060
 You know,

00:21:02.100 --> 00:21:03.060
 studying the Hebrew

00:21:03.060 --> 00:21:03.740
 and the Greek

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:04.500
 and all that

00:21:04.500 --> 00:21:06.460
 only to throw

00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:07.380
 it all away

00:21:07.380 --> 00:21:09.720
 either by committing

00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:11.359
 some disqualifying sin

00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.980
 or just walking away

00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:13.539
 from the faith

00:21:13.539 --> 00:21:14.079
 entirely

00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:16.039
 and really none of us

00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:17.180
 are too holy

00:21:17.180 --> 00:21:18.000
 or sanctified

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.180
 to keep from this

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:20.539
 happening.

00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:22.460
 This is why

00:21:22.460 --> 00:21:23.339
 we must be

00:21:23.339 --> 00:21:23.940
 vigilant

00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:24.880
 in our study

00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:25.740
 and meditation

00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:26.519
 of Scripture

00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:27.759
 that should not

00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:28.720
 just increase

00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:29.599
 our knowledge.

00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:30.700
 When you hear a sermon

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.860
 it's not so that

00:21:31.860 --> 00:21:32.319
 we can just

00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:33.559
 increase your knowledge

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:35.600
 of the Word.

00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:38.019
 I hope my sermon

00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:38.940
 is not just serving

00:21:38.940 --> 00:21:39.779
 your head knowledge

00:21:39.779 --> 00:21:40.539
 but affecting

00:21:40.539 --> 00:21:41.460
 your heart

00:21:41.460 --> 00:21:42.740
 and affecting

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:44.340
 how you conduct

00:21:44.340 --> 00:21:45.019
 yourself.

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:49.860
 And so

00:21:49.860 --> 00:21:51.240
 when we study

00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:51.680
 Scripture

00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:53.299
 we want to make sure

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:54.160
 that it's producing

00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:55.640
 real fruit

00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:56.140
 in our lives

00:21:56.140 --> 00:21:56.720
 and increasing

00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:57.299
 our love

00:21:57.299 --> 00:21:58.180
 for God.

00:21:58.920 --> 00:21:59.059
 You know,

00:21:59.080 --> 00:21:59.580
 one of the things

00:21:59.579 --> 00:22:01.879
 I sometimes

00:22:01.879 --> 00:22:03.139
 get concerned

00:22:03.139 --> 00:22:03.899
 about

00:22:03.899 --> 00:22:04.099
 is

00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:05.259
 people will read

00:22:05.259 --> 00:22:06.000
 through the Bible

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:06.619
 in a year

00:22:06.619 --> 00:22:07.460
 or half a year

00:22:07.460 --> 00:22:08.740
 or however many

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:09.339
 like a really

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:10.339
 accelerated pace

00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:11.000
 which is fine.

00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:11.980
 I think it's great

00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:12.699
 for you to do.

00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:13.500
 I think you should

00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:15.279
 learn about the Scripture

00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:16.359
 and it's great to read it

00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.039
 in a short time span.

00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.000
 But if you're doing that

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.299
 just so that you can

00:22:23.299 --> 00:22:24.079
 know the Bible

00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:24.960
 better

00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:26.899
 rather than

00:22:26.899 --> 00:22:28.119
 knowing God

00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:28.559
 better

00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:30.359
 right

00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:31.460
 check

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:32.220
 check what your

00:22:32.220 --> 00:22:32.740
 heart is

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:33.119
 in that

00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:34.519
 in that endeavor.

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:35.500
 I do want you

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:36.240
 to know Scripture.

00:22:36.379 --> 00:22:36.759
 I want you

00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:37.740
 to memorize Scripture.

00:22:38.179 --> 00:22:38.500
 I want you

00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:39.119
 to be familiar

00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:39.659
 with it.

00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:41.779
 You should be

00:22:41.779 --> 00:22:42.639
 familiar with it.

00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:44.079
 God wants you

00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:44.579
 to be familiar

00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:45.059
 with it.

00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:47.579
 But more so

00:22:47.579 --> 00:22:49.039
 He wants you

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.539
 to be familiar

00:22:49.539 --> 00:22:49.879
 with it

00:22:49.879 --> 00:22:50.200
 because

00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:51.679
 it's how we

00:22:51.679 --> 00:22:52.200
 get familiar

00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:52.940
 with God.

00:22:53.619 --> 00:22:54.119
 It's how we

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:54.720
 become

00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:55.659
 more familiar

00:22:55.659 --> 00:22:56.079
 with God

00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:56.679
 as we know

00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:57.380
 what He said

00:22:57.380 --> 00:22:58.180
 in His Word.

00:22:59.320 --> 00:22:59.700
 If you want

00:22:59.700 --> 00:23:00.980
 to get to know

00:23:00.980 --> 00:23:01.440
 somebody

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:02.460
 you listen

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:03.460
 to their words.

00:23:03.860 --> 00:23:04.000
 Right?

00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:05.000
 You can't just

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:06.180
 kind of observe

00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:07.180
 them from afar

00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:08.160
 and kind of like

00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:08.480
 oh

00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:09.420
 looks like he

00:23:09.420 --> 00:23:10.140
 likes basketball

00:23:10.140 --> 00:23:11.140
 but he played

00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:11.820
 like one time

00:23:11.820 --> 00:23:12.060
 you know

00:23:12.060 --> 00:23:12.360
 but

00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:15.019
 we have to

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:15.580
 listen.

00:23:16.060 --> 00:23:16.259
 When we

00:23:16.259 --> 00:23:17.039
 want to get

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.660
 to know somebody

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:18.640
 listen to them

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:19.259
 talk.

00:23:20.340 --> 00:23:21.160
 You hear about

00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:21.840
 what they like

00:23:21.840 --> 00:23:22.220
 and what they

00:23:22.220 --> 00:23:22.600
 dislike.

00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:24.179
 what they do

00:23:24.179 --> 00:23:24.740
 for work

00:23:24.740 --> 00:23:25.319
 what they do

00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:25.919
 at home

00:23:25.919 --> 00:23:27.799
 what they

00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:28.559
 believe.

00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:30.439
 It's important

00:23:30.439 --> 00:23:30.899
 for us

00:23:30.899 --> 00:23:31.419
 to know

00:23:31.419 --> 00:23:32.659
 what God

00:23:32.659 --> 00:23:33.419
 believes.

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:35.480
 Alright

00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:35.799
 let's keep

00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:36.079
 moving.

00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:37.740
 B.

00:23:37.879 --> 00:23:38.399
 Increasing

00:23:38.399 --> 00:23:39.159
 the knowledge

00:23:39.159 --> 00:23:40.000
 of God.

00:23:40.939 --> 00:23:41.379
 It's just

00:23:41.379 --> 00:23:41.639
 what I'm

00:23:41.639 --> 00:23:42.159
 talking about.

00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:43.319
 The knowledge

00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:43.740
 of God's

00:23:43.740 --> 00:23:43.919
 will

00:23:43.919 --> 00:23:44.359
 increases

00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:44.719
 in our

00:23:44.719 --> 00:23:45.059
 knowledge

00:23:45.059 --> 00:23:45.500
 of God

00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:45.899
 Himself.

00:23:46.259 --> 00:23:46.579
 Knowing

00:23:46.579 --> 00:23:48.279
 what God

00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:48.859
 says is

00:23:48.859 --> 00:23:49.219
 good

00:23:49.219 --> 00:23:49.779
 is actually

00:23:49.779 --> 00:23:50.199
 good

00:23:50.199 --> 00:23:50.819
 and knowing

00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:51.299
 what is

00:23:51.299 --> 00:23:51.719
 evil

00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:55.640
 is actually

00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:56.079
 evil

00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:56.799
 knowing

00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:57.279
 that

00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:58.700
 studying

00:23:58.700 --> 00:23:59.180
 that

00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:00.180
 if we

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:00.519
 accept

00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:00.839
 that as

00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:01.140
 true

00:24:01.140 --> 00:24:01.640
 we grow

00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:01.920
 in our

00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:02.539
 understanding

00:24:02.539 --> 00:24:03.140
 of God

00:24:03.140 --> 00:24:03.500
 Himself

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:04.240
 we will

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:04.680
 grow to

00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:05.279
 be closer

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:06.000
 to God

00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:06.380
 Himself

00:24:06.380 --> 00:24:07.299
 we will

00:24:07.299 --> 00:24:07.860
 be more

00:24:07.860 --> 00:24:08.299
 and more

00:24:08.299 --> 00:24:09.100
 like Jesus

00:24:09.100 --> 00:24:10.420
 but if we

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:10.759
 see in

00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:11.000
 scripture

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:11.600
 that God

00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:11.980
 calls

00:24:11.980 --> 00:24:12.319
 something

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.799
 evil

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.860
 and we

00:24:13.860 --> 00:24:15.180
 resist

00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:16.120
 I'm not

00:24:16.120 --> 00:24:16.460
 sure if

00:24:16.460 --> 00:24:16.680
 that's

00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:16.900
 evil

00:24:16.900 --> 00:24:17.180
 or he

00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:17.440
 calls

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:17.700
 something

00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:18.039
 good

00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:19.039
 and you're

00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:19.220
 like

00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:20.779
 I don't

00:24:20.779 --> 00:24:21.639
 like

00:24:21.639 --> 00:24:22.019
 that

00:24:22.019 --> 00:24:23.399
 if we

00:24:23.399 --> 00:24:23.920
 shy away

00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:24.240
 from it

00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:24.500
 if we

00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:26.079
 don't see

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:26.359
 it as

00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:26.700
 evil

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.399
 ourselves

00:24:27.399 --> 00:24:27.819
 or

00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:28.519
 we don't

00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:28.779
 see it

00:24:28.779 --> 00:24:28.879
 as

00:24:28.879 --> 00:24:29.119
 good

00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:29.599
 ourselves

00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:29.899
 and we

00:24:29.899 --> 00:24:30.700
 kind of

00:24:30.700 --> 00:24:31.019
 put a

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:31.480
 barrier

00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:32.000
 to our

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:32.259
 own

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:32.819
 understanding

00:24:32.819 --> 00:24:33.460
 of God

00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:35.539
 and now

00:24:35.539 --> 00:24:35.899
 I'm not

00:24:35.899 --> 00:24:36.359
 saying that

00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:36.940
 you necessarily

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:37.339
 need to

00:24:37.339 --> 00:24:37.639
 always

00:24:37.639 --> 00:24:38.379
 understand

00:24:38.379 --> 00:24:39.039
 everything

00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:39.980
 you know

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:40.500
 why God

00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:40.759
 says

00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:41.039
 something

00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:41.200
 is

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:41.440
 evil

00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:41.680
 and why

00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:41.859
 God

00:24:41.859 --> 00:24:42.059
 says

00:24:42.059 --> 00:24:42.299
 something

00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:42.460
 is

00:24:42.460 --> 00:24:42.799
 good

00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:44.559
 you don't

00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:45.160
 have to

00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:45.819
 always

00:24:45.819 --> 00:24:46.539
 understand

00:24:46.539 --> 00:24:47.359
 everything

00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:48.519
 the why

00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:49.039
 behind

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:49.519
 everything

00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:51.079
 but we

00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:51.579
 do have

00:24:51.579 --> 00:24:51.759
 to

00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:52.139
 trust

00:24:52.139 --> 00:24:52.579
 God

00:24:52.579 --> 00:24:52.859
 that

00:24:52.859 --> 00:24:53.119
 what

00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:53.339
 he

00:24:53.339 --> 00:24:53.720
 says

00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:54.279
 is

00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:54.660
 good

00:24:54.660 --> 00:24:56.359
 is

00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:56.720
 good

00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:57.379
 and what

00:24:57.379 --> 00:24:57.519
 he

00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:57.799
 says

00:24:57.799 --> 00:24:57.960
 is

00:24:57.960 --> 00:24:58.279
 evil

00:24:58.279 --> 00:24:58.500
 is

00:24:58.500 --> 00:24:59.019
 actually

00:24:59.019 --> 00:25:00.059
 evil

00:25:00.059 --> 00:25:01.200
 I

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:01.400
 think

00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:01.779
 a lot

00:25:01.779 --> 00:25:01.920
 of

00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:02.279
 times

00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:02.559
 when

00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:02.740
 we

00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:02.900
 are

00:25:02.900 --> 00:25:03.299
 tempted

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:03.639
 to

00:25:03.639 --> 00:25:04.259
 sin

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:04.559
 and we

00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:04.799
 give

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:05.019
 in

00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:05.119
 to

00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:05.339
 that

00:25:05.339 --> 00:25:05.680
 sin

00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:07.299
 it's

00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:07.559
 because

00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:07.940
 we

00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:08.440
 don't

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:09.039
 really

00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:09.639
 recognize

00:25:09.639 --> 00:25:09.980
 it

00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:10.460
 as

00:25:10.460 --> 00:25:11.319
 evil

00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:11.940
 we

00:25:11.940 --> 00:25:12.160
 think

00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:12.500
 oh

00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:13.180
 there's

00:25:13.180 --> 00:25:13.379
 that

00:25:13.379 --> 00:25:14.319
 good

00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:14.779
 thing

00:25:14.779 --> 00:25:14.980
 over

00:25:14.980 --> 00:25:15.180
 there

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:15.339
 that

00:25:15.339 --> 00:25:16.119
 God

00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:16.420
 says

00:25:16.420 --> 00:25:16.539
 I'm

00:25:16.539 --> 00:25:16.680
 not

00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:16.859
 supposed

00:25:16.859 --> 00:25:17.019
 to

00:25:17.019 --> 00:25:17.299
 have

00:25:17.299 --> 00:25:17.519
 but

00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:17.680
 it

00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:18.119
 looks

00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:18.339
 really

00:25:18.339 --> 00:25:18.700
 good

00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:19.259
 I'm

00:25:19.259 --> 00:25:19.720
 going to

00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:19.840
 go

00:25:19.840 --> 00:25:20.019
 do

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:20.319
 that

00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:21.500
 and

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:21.620
 then

00:25:21.620 --> 00:25:21.759
 we

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:22.120
 repent

00:25:22.120 --> 00:25:22.319
 because

00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:22.440
 we

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:22.600
 feel

00:25:22.600 --> 00:25:22.900
 bad

00:25:22.900 --> 00:25:23.440
 afterwards

00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.279
 there

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:26.440
 is

00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:26.920
 forgiveness

00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:29.700
 there's

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:30.220
 grace

00:25:30.220 --> 00:25:32.600
 God

00:25:32.600 --> 00:25:32.620
 God

00:25:32.620 --> 00:25:32.920
 also

00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:33.240
 wants

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:33.339
 you

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:33.480
 to

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:33.860
 grow

00:25:33.860 --> 00:25:34.259
 in

00:25:34.259 --> 00:25:34.779
 holiness

00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:35.519
 so

00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:35.640
 that

00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:35.779
 when

00:25:35.779 --> 00:25:35.960
 you

00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:36.160
 are

00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:36.640
 tempted

00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:37.360
 you

00:25:37.360 --> 00:25:37.559
 will

00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:38.120
 resist

00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:39.839
 and

00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:40.019
 thus

00:25:40.019 --> 00:25:40.160
 you

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:40.299
 will

00:25:40.299 --> 00:25:40.620
 know

00:25:40.620 --> 00:25:40.900
 him

00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:41.319
 better

00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:43.000
 you

00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:43.140
 will

00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:43.460
 grow

00:25:43.460 --> 00:25:43.740
 in

00:25:43.740 --> 00:25:44.279
 holiness

00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:46.839
 C

00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:18.180
 share

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:18.980

00:30:18.980 --> 00:30:19.460
 just

00:30:19.460 --> 00:30:19.900
 think about

00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:20.119
 that

00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:20.660
 a moment

00:30:20.660 --> 00:30:21.400
 there's

 we've

00:31:44.819 --> 00:31:44.980
 we

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:45.700
 increase

00:31:45.700 --> 00:31:45.880
 in

00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:46.019
 the

00:31:46.019 --> 00:31:46.359
 knowledge

00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:46.599
 of

00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:46.880
 God

00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:47.120
 so

00:31:47.120 --> 00:31:47.299
 that

00:31:47.299 --> 00:31:47.460
 we

00:31:47.460 --> 00:31:47.640
 are

00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:48.120
 strengthened

00:31:48.120 --> 00:31:48.460
 with

00:31:48.460 --> 00:31:48.660
 all

00:31:48.660 --> 00:31:49.079

00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:49.579
 and

00:31:49.579 --> 00:31:49.740
 we

00:31:49.740 --> 00:31:49.940
 give

00:31:49.940 --> 00:31:50.299
 thanks

00:31:50.299 --> 00:31:50.480
 for

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:50.680
 our

00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:51.099
 share

00:31:51.099 --> 00:31:51.319
 in

00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:51.440
 the

00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:51.920
 inheritance

00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:54.140
 so

00:31:54.140 --> 00:31:54.580
 not

00:31:54.580 --> 00:31:54.920
 only

00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:55.240
 must

00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:55.440
 we

00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:55.820
 pray

00:31:55.820 --> 00:31:56.039
 to

00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:56.200
 be

00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:56.580
 thankful

00:31:56.580 --> 00:31:56.860
 for

00:31:56.860 --> 00:31:57.279
 inheritance

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:57.519
 but

00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:57.860
 also

00:31:57.860 --> 00:31:58.660
 remember

00:31:58.660 --> 00:31:59.480
 our

00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:00.120
 deliverance

00:32:00.120 --> 00:32:00.800
 they're

00:32:00.800 --> 00:32:01.480
 very closely

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:02.120
 related

00:32:02.120 --> 00:32:03.140
 but

00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:03.320
 they're

00:32:03.320 --> 00:32:03.660
 slightly

00:32:03.660 --> 00:32:04.140
 different

00:32:04.140 --> 00:32:04.519
 and

00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:04.640
 so

00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:04.880

 with

00:32:13.340 --> 00:32:13.480
 we

00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:13.820
 have

00:32:13.820 --> 00:32:14.080

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:18.419
 about

00:33:18.419 --> 00:33:18.639
 that

00:33:18.639 --> 00:33:18.839
 but

00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:19.480
 he

00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:20.019
 highlights

00:33:20.019 --> 00:33:20.259
 that

00:33:20.259 --> 00:33:20.440
 we

00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:20.599
 were

00:33:21.399 --> 00:33:21.599
 of

00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:22.240
 darkness

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:23.059
 we

00:33:23.059 --> 00:33:23.220
 were

00:33:23.220 --> 00:33:23.519
 part

00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:25.039
 that's

00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:25.379
 that's

00:33:25.379 --> 00:33:25.500
 where

00:33:25.500 --> 00:33:25.639
 we're

 slaves

00:33:28.879 --> 00:33:29.099
 to

00:33:29.099 --> 00:33:29.399
 sin

00:33:29.399 --> 00:33:29.599
 we're

00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:30.000
 slaves

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.299

00:33:31.099 --> 00:33:31.639
 really

00:33:31.639 --> 00:33:34.099

00:33:34.099 --> 00:33:34.379
 we

00:33:34.379 --> 00:33:34.720
 have

00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:35.059
 been

 Christ

00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:49.960
 has

00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:50.139
 won

00:33:50.139 --> 00:33:50.319
 for

00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:50.500
 us

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:50.799
 in

00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:51.740
 we

00:33:51.740 --> 00:33:52.379
 share

00:33:52.379 --> 00:33:52.619
 in

00:33:52.619 --> 00:33:53.019
 those

00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:54.200
 Paul

00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:54.599
 is

00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:55.180
 highlighting

00:33:55.180 --> 00:33:55.460
 this

00:33:55.460 --> 00:33:55.740
 truth

00:33:55.740 --> 00:33:56.139
 yet

00:33:56.139 --> 00:33:56.839
 again

00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:57.160
 because

00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:57.359
 it

00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:57.500
 is

00:33:57.500 --> 00:33:57.680
 the

00:33:57.680 --> 00:33:58.160
 core

00:33:58.160 --> 00:33:58.619
 of

00:33:58.619 --> 00:33:59.180
 Christianity

00:33:59.180 --> 00:33:59.680
 we

00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:00.200
 so

00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:00.920
 quickly

00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:01.480
 forget

00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:02.099
 we

00:34:02.099 --> 00:34:02.460
 so

00:34:02.460 --> 00:34:02.900
 quickly

00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:03.220
 get

00:34:03.220 --> 00:34:04.139
 sidetracked

00:34:04.139 --> 00:34:04.539
 we

00:34:04.539 --> 00:34:04.839
 place

00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:05.139
 other

00:34:05.139 --> 00:34:05.480
 things

00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:05.660
 as

00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:05.980
 higher

00:34:05.980 --> 00:34:06.599
 priority

00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:07.000
 than

00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:07.519
 remembering

00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:07.819
 and

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:08.219
 cherishing

00:34:08.219 --> 00:34:08.800
 this

00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:09.219
 truth

00:34:09.219 --> 00:34:09.920
 Jesus

00:34:12.019 --> 00:34:12.500
 came to

00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:12.759
 earth

00:34:12.759 --> 00:34:13.519
 as

00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:13.780
 a

00:34:13.780 --> 00:34:14.119
 baby

00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:14.659
 he

00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:15.179
 lived

00:34:15.179 --> 00:34:15.380
 a

00:34:15.380 --> 00:34:15.699
 perfect

00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:16.199
 life

00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:17.079
 he

00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:17.480
 died

00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:17.639
 on

00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:17.759
 the

00:34:17.759 --> 00:34:18.079
 cross

00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:18.280
 for

00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:18.480
 our

00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:18.780
 sin

00:34:18.780 --> 00:34:18.980
 and

00:34:18.980 --> 00:34:19.400
 rose

00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:19.659
 from

00:34:19.659 --> 00:34:19.800
 the

00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:20.099
 grave

00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:20.480
 on

00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:20.619
 the

00:34:20.619 --> 00:34:20.840
 third

00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:21.159
 day

00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:21.619
 and

00:34:21.619 --> 00:34:22.059
 if

00:34:22.059 --> 00:34:22.360
 we

00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:22.840
 repent

00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:23.000
 of

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.199
 our

00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:23.400
 sins

00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:23.719
 have

00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:24.159
 faith

00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:24.739
 in

00:34:24.739 --> 00:34:24.920
 him

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:25.119
 we

00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:25.400
 have

00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.940
 forgiveness

00:34:25.940 --> 00:34:26.519
 and

00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:27.019
 redemption

00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:27.519
 in

00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:27.759
 him

00:34:27.759 --> 00:34:29.000
 now

00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:29.259
 maybe

00:34:29.259 --> 00:34:29.519
 this

00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:29.699
 is

00:34:29.699 --> 00:34:30.159
 unfamiliar

00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:30.900
 to

00:34:30.900 --> 00:34:31.159
 you

00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:31.320
 and

00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:31.480
 this

00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:31.559
 is

00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:31.659
 the

00:34:31.659 --> 00:34:31.860
 first

00:34:31.860 --> 00:34:32.139
 time

00:34:32.139 --> 00:34:32.259
 you

00:34:32.259 --> 00:34:32.739
 hearing

00:34:32.739 --> 00:34:36.780
 there's

00:34:36.780 --> 00:34:36.900
 an

00:34:36.900 --> 00:34:37.380
 opportunity

00:34:37.380 --> 00:34:37.759
 for

00:34:37.759 --> 00:34:38.019
 you

00:34:38.019 --> 00:34:39.380
 even

00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:39.619
 here

00:34:39.619 --> 00:34:39.880
 right

00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:40.199
 now

00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:40.960
 you

00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:41.099
 can

00:34:41.099 --> 00:34:41.619
 recognize

00:34:41.619 --> 00:34:42.159
 oh yes

00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:42.380
 I

00:34:42.380 --> 00:34:42.779
 have

00:34:42.779 --> 00:34:43.159
 sinned

00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:43.299
 I

00:34:43.299 --> 00:34:44.039
 I've

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:44.179
 done

00:34:44.179 --> 00:34:44.519

 to

00:35:24.579 --> 00:35:24.700
 the

 rest

00:35:24.900 --> 00:35:25.079
 of

 you

00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:26.059
 you

 this

00:35:29.720 --> 00:35:30.039
 many

00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:30.340
 times

00:35:30.340 --> 00:35:30.480
 you

00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:30.800
 probably

 hear

00:35:31.019 --> 00:35:31.260
 this

00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:35.340
 you

00:35:35.340 --> 00:35:35.539
 probably

00:35:35.539 --> 00:35:35.720
 hear

00:35:35.720 --> 00:35:35.900
 this

00:35:35.900 --> 00:35:36.280
 multiple

00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:36.760
 times

00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:36.940
 a

00:35:36.940 --> 00:35:37.160
 week

00:35:37.160 --> 00:35:38.340
 you

00:35:38.340 --> 00:35:38.640
 probably

00:35:38.640 --> 00:35:38.940
 read

00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:39.220
 this

00:35:39.220 --> 00:35:39.440
 in

00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:39.740
 scripture

00:35:39.739 --> 00:35:40.359
 many

00:35:40.359 --> 00:35:41.019
 times

00:35:41.019 --> 00:35:42.759
 it's

00:35:42.759 --> 00:35:43.039
 so

00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:43.299
 many

00:35:43.299 --> 00:35:43.859
 times

00:35:43.859 --> 00:35:44.839
 you

00:35:44.839 --> 00:35:45.059
 stop

00:35:45.059 --> 00:35:45.259
 paying

00:35:45.259 --> 00:35:45.659
 attention

00:35:45.659 --> 00:35:48.879
 I've

00:35:48.879 --> 00:35:49.000
 done

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:49.279
 that

00:35:49.279 --> 00:35:50.019
 I've

00:35:50.019 --> 00:35:50.099
 heard

00:35:50.099 --> 00:35:50.419
 oh yeah

00:35:50.419 --> 00:35:50.679
 I know

00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:51.139
 the gospel

00:35:51.139 --> 00:35:51.939
 I get to

00:35:51.939 --> 00:35:52.299
 that point

00:35:52.299 --> 00:35:52.500
 of the

00:35:52.500 --> 00:35:52.679
 sermon

00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:52.919
 yeah

00:35:52.919 --> 00:35:53.619
 I know

00:35:53.619 --> 00:35:53.919
 I've

00:35:53.919 --> 00:35:54.619
 I mean

00:35:54.619 --> 00:35:54.819
 I've

00:35:54.819 --> 00:35:55.059
 studied

00:35:55.059 --> 00:35:55.379
 this

00:35:55.380 --> 00:35:57.320
 but

00:35:57.320 --> 00:35:57.640
 what's

00:35:57.640 --> 00:35:57.860
 more

00:35:57.860 --> 00:35:58.220
 important

00:35:58.220 --> 00:35:58.440
 than

00:35:58.440 --> 00:35:58.640
 this

00:35:58.640 --> 00:35:59.000
 truth

00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:00.079
 is

00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:00.220
 there

00:36:00.220 --> 00:36:00.559
 anything

00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:00.900
 more

00:36:00.900 --> 00:36:01.280
 important

00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:01.640
 all

00:36:01.640 --> 00:36:01.820
 the

00:36:01.820 --> 00:36:02.039
 things

00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:02.180
 that

00:36:02.180 --> 00:36:02.320
 I've

00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:02.519
 said

00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:02.640
 to

00:36:02.640 --> 00:36:02.740
 you

00:36:02.740 --> 00:36:02.860
 up

00:36:02.860 --> 00:36:03.079
 until

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:03.440
 now

00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:04.220
 pale

00:36:04.220 --> 00:36:04.400
 in

00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:04.900
 comparison

00:36:04.900 --> 00:36:06.220
 to

00:36:06.220 --> 00:36:06.360
 the

00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:06.740
 gospel

00:36:06.740 --> 00:36:08.039
 there

00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:08.260
 is

00:36:08.260 --> 00:36:08.700
 nothing

00:36:08.700 --> 00:36:09.360
 more

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:10.079
 important

00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:10.380
 than

00:36:10.380 --> 00:36:10.619
 this

00:36:10.619 --> 00:36:10.920
 truth

00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:11.340
 this

00:36:11.340 --> 00:36:11.500
 is

00:36:11.500 --> 00:36:11.740
 why

00:36:11.740 --> 00:36:12.000
 we

00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:12.720
 constantly

00:36:12.720 --> 00:36:13.519
 talk

00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:13.960
 about

00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:14.180
 the

00:36:14.180 --> 00:36:14.440
 gospel

00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:14.680
 this

00:36:14.680 --> 00:36:14.760
 is

00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:14.880
 why

00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:15.039
 we

00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:15.840
 constantly

00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:16.640
 sing

00:36:16.640 --> 00:36:17.119
 about

00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:17.280
 it

00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:17.800
 and pray

00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:18.119
 about

00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:18.240
 it

00:36:18.240 --> 00:36:18.820
 and preach

00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:19.220
 about

00:36:19.220 --> 00:36:19.460
 it

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:20.800
 we

00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:21.180
 preach

00:36:21.180 --> 00:36:21.440
 about

00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:21.619
 the

00:36:21.619 --> 00:36:22.140
 cross

00:36:22.140 --> 00:36:23.140
 of

00:36:23.140 --> 00:36:23.519
 Christ

00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:24.099
 and what

00:36:24.099 --> 00:36:24.440
 Christ

00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:24.659
 has

00:36:24.659 --> 00:36:24.880
 done

00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:25.099
 for

00:36:25.099 --> 00:36:25.440
 us

00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:25.880
 and

00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:26.139
 this

00:36:26.139 --> 00:36:26.719
 isn't

00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:26.960
 just

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:27.179
 where

00:36:27.179 --> 00:36:27.360
 we

00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:27.920
 start

00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:28.139
 on

00:36:28.139 --> 00:36:28.259
 the

00:36:28.259 --> 00:36:28.619
 Christian

00:36:28.619 --> 00:36:29.099
 journey

00:36:29.099 --> 00:36:30.619
 it's

00:36:30.619 --> 00:36:30.940
 the

00:36:30.940 --> 00:36:31.920
 entire

00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:33.059
 journey

00:36:33.059 --> 00:36:35.239
 we

00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:35.639
 never

00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:36.300
 move

00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:36.780
 beyond

00:36:36.780 --> 00:36:36.980
 the

00:36:36.980 --> 00:36:37.400
 gospel

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:37.800
 we

00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:38.019
 never

00:36:38.019 --> 00:36:38.340
 get

00:36:38.340 --> 00:36:38.759
 beyond

00:36:38.759 --> 00:36:38.940
 the

00:36:38.940 --> 00:36:39.239
 cross

00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:39.579
 we

00:36:39.579 --> 00:36:39.780
 never

00:36:39.780 --> 00:36:39.980
 get

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:40.239
 beyond

00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:40.559
 Christ

00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:40.780
 into

00:36:40.780 --> 00:36:41.079
 some

00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:41.699
 deeper

00:36:41.699 --> 00:36:42.199
 theology

00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:42.559
 it's

00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:42.940
 all

00:36:42.940 --> 00:36:43.420
 about

00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:43.800
 him

00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:44.400
 from

00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:44.860
 him

00:36:44.860 --> 00:36:45.539
 for

00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:45.940
 him

00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:46.380
 because

00:36:46.380 --> 00:36:46.739
 of

00:36:46.739 --> 00:36:46.940
 him

00:36:46.940 --> 00:36:47.179
 and

00:36:47.179 --> 00:36:47.579
 through

00:36:47.579 --> 00:36:48.039
 him

00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:49.900
 he's

00:36:49.900 --> 00:36:50.019
 the

00:36:50.019 --> 00:36:50.420
 entire

00:36:50.420 --> 00:36:50.860
 thing

00:36:50.860 --> 00:36:51.719
 Christianity

00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:52.480
 Christ

00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:54.360
 it's

00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:54.820
 part

00:36:54.820 --> 00:36:54.960
 of

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:55.079
 it

00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:55.320
 it's

00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:55.480
 the

00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:55.880
 core

00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:56.280
 it's

 God

00:37:19.219 --> 00:37:19.460

 Moses

00:37:19.820 --> 00:37:20.740

00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:09.159
 thirst

00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:10.039
 God

00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:10.480
 delivers

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:10.799
 you

00:39:10.799 --> 00:39:11.379
 you're

00:39:11.379 --> 00:39:11.719
 again

00:39:11.719 --> 00:39:12.119
 faced

00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:12.299
 with

00:39:12.299 --> 00:39:12.579
 thirst

00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:12.839
 what

00:39:12.839 --> 00:39:12.980
 do

00:39:12.980 --> 00:39:13.099
 you

00:39:13.099 --> 00:39:13.400
 do

00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:13.819
 you

00:39:13.819 --> 00:39:14.259
 complain

00:39:14.259 --> 00:39:14.539
 that

00:39:14.539 --> 00:39:14.699
 you're

00:39:14.699 --> 00:39:14.799
 gonna

00:39:14.799 --> 00:39:15.159
 die

00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:19.019
 and

00:39:19.019 --> 00:39:19.199
 they

00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:19.699
 rebelled

00:39:19.699 --> 00:39:20.639
 but

00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:20.960
 God

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:21.739
 provided

00:39:21.739 --> 00:39:22.319
 water

00:39:22.319 --> 00:39:22.759
 from

00:39:22.759 --> 00:39:23.019
 a

00:39:23.019 --> 00:39:23.519
 rock

00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:25.359
 a

00:39:25.359 --> 00:39:25.739
 miracle

00:39:25.739 --> 00:39:26.299
 after

00:39:26.299 --> 00:39:26.819
 miracle

00:39:26.819 --> 00:39:28.039
 and

00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:28.279
 you

00:39:28.279 --> 00:39:28.519
 haven't

00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:28.699
 gotten

00:39:28.699 --> 00:39:28.879
 there

00:39:28.879 --> 00:39:29.079
 yet

00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:29.179
 I

00:39:29.179 --> 00:39:29.319
 don't

00:39:29.319 --> 00:39:29.579
 think

00:39:29.579 --> 00:39:29.859
 but

00:39:29.859 --> 00:39:30.339
 coming

00:39:30.339 --> 00:39:30.779
 soon

00:39:30.780 --> 00:39:31.380
 they

00:39:31.380 --> 00:39:31.400
 they

00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:32.340
 went

00:39:32.340 --> 00:39:32.620
 to

00:39:32.620 --> 00:39:33.060
 Mount

00:39:33.060 --> 00:39:33.540
 Sinai

00:39:33.540 --> 00:39:33.680
 and

00:39:33.680 --> 00:39:33.780
 they

00:39:33.780 --> 00:39:33.880
 were

00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:34.160
 waiting

00:39:34.160 --> 00:39:34.380
 for

00:39:34.380 --> 00:39:34.620
 Moses

00:39:34.620 --> 00:39:34.840
 to

00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:35.200
 return

00:39:35.200 --> 00:39:35.640
 they

00:39:35.640 --> 00:39:35.980
 forgot

00:39:35.980 --> 00:39:36.280
 about

00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:36.540
 God

00:39:36.540 --> 00:39:36.640
 and

00:39:36.640 --> 00:39:36.780
 they

00:39:36.780 --> 00:39:37.100
 created

00:39:37.100 --> 00:39:37.480
 these

00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:38.420
 statues

00:39:38.420 --> 00:39:38.840
 golden

00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:39.480
 calves

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:40.000
 and

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:40.160
 they

00:39:40.160 --> 00:39:40.720
 worshipped

00:39:40.720 --> 00:39:41.100
 them

00:39:41.100 --> 00:39:44.380
 time

00:39:44.380 --> 00:39:44.580
 and

00:39:44.580 --> 00:39:44.860
 time

00:39:44.860 --> 00:39:45.240
 again

00:39:45.240 --> 00:39:45.580
 people

00:39:45.580 --> 00:39:46.180
 forgot

00:39:46.180 --> 00:39:47.460
 but

00:39:47.460 --> 00:39:47.920
 time

00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:48.100
 and

00:39:48.100 --> 00:39:48.340
 time

00:39:48.340 --> 00:39:48.700
 again

00:39:48.700 --> 00:39:49.300
 God

00:39:49.300 --> 00:39:49.820
 forgave

00:39:49.820 --> 00:39:50.080
 them

00:39:50.080 --> 00:39:50.220
 and

00:39:50.220 --> 00:39:50.420
 once

00:39:50.420 --> 00:39:50.660
 again

00:39:50.660 --> 00:39:51.120
 delivered

00:39:51.120 --> 00:39:51.519
 them

00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:53.440
 they

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:53.800
 needed

00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:54.200
 to be

00:39:54.200 --> 00:39:54.780
 reminded

00:39:54.780 --> 00:39:55.380
 over

00:39:55.380 --> 00:39:55.640
 and

00:39:55.640 --> 00:39:55.820
 over

00:39:55.820 --> 00:39:55.940
 and

00:39:55.940 --> 00:39:56.140
 that's

00:39:56.140 --> 00:39:56.300
 so

00:39:56.300 --> 00:39:56.700
 why

00:39:56.700 --> 00:39:56.940
 so

00:39:56.940 --> 00:39:57.400
 many

00:39:57.400 --> 00:39:57.660
 of

00:39:57.660 --> 00:39:57.840
 the

00:39:57.840 --> 00:39:58.220
 Psalms

00:39:58.220 --> 00:39:58.640
 cover

00:39:58.640 --> 00:39:59.040
 the

00:39:59.040 --> 00:39:59.480
 events

00:39:59.480 --> 00:39:59.820
 of

00:39:59.820 --> 00:40:00.100
 God

00:40:00.099 --> 00:40:00.779
 delivering

00:40:00.779 --> 00:40:01.679
 the Jews

00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:02.319
 out of

00:40:02.319 --> 00:40:02.779
 Egypt

00:40:02.779 --> 00:40:03.400
 so

00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:03.940
 many

00:40:03.940 --> 00:40:05.440
 parts

00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:05.639
 of

00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:05.960
 scripture

00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:06.599
 recall

00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:06.940
 those

00:40:06.940 --> 00:40:07.279
 events

00:40:07.279 --> 00:40:07.639
 because

00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:08.299
 they

00:40:08.299 --> 00:40:08.519
 would

00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:08.920
 so

00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:09.480
 often

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:09.920
 forget

00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:11.019
 they

00:40:11.019 --> 00:40:11.199
 would

00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:11.559
 sing

00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:11.779
 the

00:40:11.779 --> 00:40:12.159
 songs

00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:12.559
 so

00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:12.900
 that

00:40:12.900 --> 00:40:13.239
 they

00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:13.839
 remember

00:40:13.839 --> 00:40:14.519
 and tell

00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:14.920
 the next

00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:15.519
 generation

00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:16.339
 what God

00:40:16.339 --> 00:40:16.759
 has done

00:40:16.759 --> 00:40:17.239
 for them

00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:18.239
 and we

00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:19.259
 are just

00:40:19.259 --> 00:40:20.079
 like

00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:20.380
 them

00:40:20.380 --> 00:40:20.819
 when we're

00:40:20.819 --> 00:40:21.639
 tempted to see

00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:22.440
 in scripture

00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:23.000
 all these

00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:23.360
 Hebrews

00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:24.219
 they were just

00:40:24.219 --> 00:40:24.880
 so dumb

00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:25.760
 complaining

00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:27.039
 we do

00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:27.680
 the same

00:40:27.680 --> 00:40:28.280
 thing

00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:28.980
 I do

00:40:28.980 --> 00:40:29.539
 the same

00:40:29.539 --> 00:40:30.039
 thing

00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:30.680
 and we

00:40:30.680 --> 00:40:31.680
 so easily

00:40:31.680 --> 00:40:32.140
 forget

00:40:32.140 --> 00:40:33.059
 just like

00:40:33.059 --> 00:40:33.640
 they do

00:40:33.640 --> 00:40:36.700
 we so

00:40:36.700 --> 00:40:37.320
 easily

00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:37.980
 take it

00:40:37.980 --> 00:40:38.539
 for granted

00:40:38.539 --> 00:40:39.460
 what Christ

00:40:39.460 --> 00:40:39.900
 has done

00:40:39.900 --> 00:40:40.380
 for us

00:40:40.380 --> 00:40:41.240
 we forget

00:40:41.240 --> 00:40:42.059
 where we

00:40:42.059 --> 00:40:42.599
 would be

00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:43.119
 without

00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:43.500
 our

00:40:43.500 --> 00:40:44.039
 redemption

00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:44.660
 in

00:40:44.660 --> 00:40:45.519
 Christ

00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:50.280
 so the

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:50.780
 application

00:40:50.780 --> 00:40:51.619
 is fairly

00:40:51.619 --> 00:40:52.000
 simple

00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:52.300
 here

00:40:52.300 --> 00:40:54.580
 take hold

00:40:54.580 --> 00:40:55.380
 of your

00:40:55.380 --> 00:40:56.100
 deliverance

00:40:56.100 --> 00:40:56.820
 and redemption

00:40:56.820 --> 00:40:57.920
 in Christ

00:40:57.920 --> 00:40:58.560
 don't

00:40:58.560 --> 00:40:59.640
 skip over

00:40:59.640 --> 00:41:00.240
 that part

00:41:00.240 --> 00:41:00.640
 when you're

00:41:00.640 --> 00:41:00.980
 reading

00:41:00.980 --> 00:41:01.820
 or listening

00:41:01.820 --> 00:41:02.460
 to scripture

00:41:02.460 --> 00:41:03.380
 don't tune

00:41:03.380 --> 00:41:03.660
 out

00:41:03.660 --> 00:41:04.039
 when your

00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:04.600
 pastors

00:41:04.600 --> 00:41:05.600
 are preaching

00:41:05.600 --> 00:41:06.460
 the gospel

00:41:06.460 --> 00:41:06.960
 again

00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:07.460
 for the

00:41:07.460 --> 00:41:08.539
 40th time

00:41:08.539 --> 00:41:09.360
 that Sunday

00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:12.320
 don't skim

00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:13.000
 over the

00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:13.720
 parts of the

00:41:13.720 --> 00:41:14.080
 gospel

00:41:14.080 --> 00:41:14.480
 when you're

00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:14.880
 reading a

00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:15.080
 good

00:41:15.080 --> 00:41:15.700
 Christian

00:41:15.700 --> 00:41:16.120
 book

00:41:16.120 --> 00:41:17.440
 pay

00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:18.460
 attention

00:41:18.460 --> 00:41:18.860
 pay

00:41:18.860 --> 00:41:19.780
 special

00:41:19.780 --> 00:41:20.360
 attention

00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:21.100
 when you're

00:41:21.100 --> 00:41:21.460
 reading

00:41:21.460 --> 00:41:21.980
 and it

00:41:21.980 --> 00:41:22.360
 comes

00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:22.780
 to the

00:41:22.780 --> 00:41:23.260
 connection

00:41:23.260 --> 00:41:24.019
 to the

00:41:24.019 --> 00:41:24.420
 gospel

00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:24.760
 to the

00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:25.119
 connection

00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:25.820
 to Christ

00:41:25.820 --> 00:41:26.519
 when you're

00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:26.800
 singing

00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:28.000
 make that

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:28.480
 part

00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:29.039
 the most

00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:29.639
 meaningful

00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:30.280
 part

00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:30.659
 of your

00:41:30.659 --> 00:41:31.159
 singing

00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:31.679
 pay

00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:32.059
 attention

00:41:32.059 --> 00:41:32.500
 when you're

00:41:32.500 --> 00:41:33.000
 shown
