WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.760
 Father, we come to your word written.

00:00:02.540 --> 00:00:04.660
 We confess before you that

00:00:04.660 --> 00:00:08.720
 without the help of your Holy Spirit,

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.939
 we cannot really understand your word.

00:00:12.339 --> 00:00:15.339
 And Father, so we ask that your Holy Spirit

00:00:15.339 --> 00:00:16.559
 would move in our lives,

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:22.679
 that your Holy Spirit would make your word alive to us,

00:00:23.019 --> 00:00:26.219
 and that your word would touch our hearts

00:00:26.219 --> 00:00:29.239
 so that we may perfectly love you

00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:31.419
 and worthily magnify your Holy Name.

00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:33.200
 And we ask this in the name of Jesus,

00:00:33.379 --> 00:00:34.560
 your Son and our Savior.

00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:35.479
 Amen.

00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:37.019
 Please be seated.

00:00:38.780 --> 00:00:41.439
 So I don't know how many of you know this,

00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.539
 but there's always an 8 o'clock service

00:00:43.539 --> 00:00:45.799
 before the 10 o'clock service.

00:00:45.899 --> 00:00:47.780
 I guess we didn't have it for some of the summer

00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:48.820
 when we were here in the school,

00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:50.480
 but for most of the time there is.

00:00:50.739 --> 00:00:51.980
 In fact, for a while this morning,

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:53.960
 it looked like there was just going to be Barbara and me,

00:00:54.019 --> 00:00:55.840
 and then three other people came.

00:00:56.219 --> 00:00:57.460
 So we did a little service,

00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:58.780
 and one of the things I do at the service

00:00:58.780 --> 00:01:00.979
 is I give a shorter form of my sermon.

00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:03.839
 And one of the things you're going to notice in a moment

00:01:03.839 --> 00:01:05.980
 is that the sermon's about people-pleasing,

00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:07.000
 amongst other things,

00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:08.920
 but that's one of the issues, about people-pleasing.

00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.420
 I'm sure this is a very helpful service.

00:01:12.019 --> 00:01:14.019
 This will be a very helpful sermon for you

00:01:14.019 --> 00:01:15.579
 because you all have friends

00:01:15.579 --> 00:01:17.259
 who have problems with people-pleasing,

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.120
 and so you'll learn things to share with them,

00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:21.219
 but none of you have to deal with it.

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.579
 Anyway, so I do this sermon on people-pleasing,

00:01:24.459 --> 00:01:26.079
 and then in the service,

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.560
 after the sermon,

00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:29.079
 in that service,

00:01:29.179 --> 00:01:30.159
 you have the offertory,

00:01:30.219 --> 00:01:31.439
 and then you have the confession.

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:33.299
 And so I'm sitting down,

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:34.420
 I'm kneeling down,

00:01:34.539 --> 00:01:36.099
 and I have a little bit of a,

00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:36.879
 you know, like 10,

00:01:37.099 --> 00:01:38.980
 20 seconds of silence

00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:41.099
 before we say the words of the confession.

00:01:41.539 --> 00:01:42.060
 And I always say,

00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:42.879
 you know, what should I confess?

00:01:43.019 --> 00:01:43.539
 I ask, you know,

00:01:43.539 --> 00:01:45.519
 Father, show me what I should confess my sins about.

00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:46.579
 And then it really,

00:01:46.739 --> 00:01:49.519
 it hit me like a lightning bolt

00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.119
 that I was depressed,

00:01:52.539 --> 00:01:53.479
 mildly depressed,

00:01:53.500 --> 00:01:55.119
 because I didn't think my sermon

00:01:55.119 --> 00:01:56.379
 had been very successful.

00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:57.899
 In other words,

00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:00.060
 the reason it wasn't successful

00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:02.079
 because I wasn't sure if people liked it.

00:02:02.379 --> 00:02:04.640
 So I had done a sermon on people-pleasing,

00:02:05.019 --> 00:02:06.479
 and then I was depressed

00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:09.539
 because I didn't think I'd please them.

00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:10.479
 So you see,

00:02:10.539 --> 00:02:11.620
 I need a lot of prayer.

00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:11.680
 I'm sure.

00:02:15.099 --> 00:02:15.379
 And,

00:02:15.580 --> 00:02:17.140
 but the,

00:02:17.140 --> 00:02:17.400
 the,

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:17.640
 the,

00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:18.939
 we are going to look a little bit

00:02:18.939 --> 00:02:19.400
 about people,

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:20.340
 at people-pleasing.

00:02:22.340 --> 00:02:22.860
 You know,

00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:23.420
 people-pleasing,

00:02:23.539 --> 00:02:24.140
 it's a little bit of a,

00:02:24.740 --> 00:02:24.960
 not,

00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:26.219
 it's not a complicated thing.

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:26.560
 It's a,

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.280
 it's a very present problem.

00:02:28.460 --> 00:02:29.060
 Some people

00:02:29.060 --> 00:02:31.000
 don't have a problem

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.439
 with people-pleasing at all

00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:36.140
 because they are socially maladjusted.

00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:38.819
 At different times,

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.000
 there's nobody here in the church

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:40.900
 like this right now,

00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:41.599
 I don't think,

00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:43.159
 but at certain times,

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:44.039
 we have had somebody

00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:45.080
 who's been a part of our church

00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:45.560
 for a while,

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:46.439
 and they don't pick up

00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.520
 any social cues at all,

00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:49.340
 period.

00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:51.200
 I remember one fellow

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:52.000
 who's,

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.319
 who's now gone to be with Jesus,

00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:55.700
 but he was part of the congregation

00:02:55.700 --> 00:02:56.879
 for four or five years,

00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.000
 and part of the hard thing

00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.520
 for the congregation to realize

00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.259
 was that you had to be

00:03:01.259 --> 00:03:03.939
 basically rude with him

00:03:03.939 --> 00:03:06.319
 because he wouldn't pick up

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:07.599
 the normal cues,

00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:08.180
 right?

00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:09.500
 So one of the things

00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:10.340
 he had a problem with

00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:11.400
 would be putting his arm

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:12.120
 around women,

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:12.840
 for instance.

00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:14.640
 So the woman had to say,

00:03:15.140 --> 00:03:16.000
 I almost said his name,

00:03:16.259 --> 00:03:16.580
 you know,

00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:18.460
 don't do this.

00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:19.439
 It's wrong.

00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:19.780
 Like,

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:20.640
 you have to be really

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:21.640
 blunt and direct.

00:03:21.699 --> 00:03:22.400
 So those are people,

00:03:22.460 --> 00:03:23.140
 there are some people

00:03:23.140 --> 00:03:24.159
 who are just basically

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:24.879
 socially maladjusted.

00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:26.719
 They don't pick up people,

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:27.920
 they don't people-please

00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:28.819
 because it's sort of as if

00:03:28.819 --> 00:03:29.840
 they don't even understand

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.740
 entirely that there are people.

00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:33.480
 And there are some people

00:03:33.480 --> 00:03:34.580
 who are just healthy.

00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:35.319
 I don't know what it is.

00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:36.299
 They have the right genes,

00:03:36.500 --> 00:03:37.639
 they have the right parents,

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:39.359
 they had the right school,

00:03:39.539 --> 00:03:40.259
 the right coach,

00:03:40.379 --> 00:03:41.079
 the right teachers.

00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:42.239
 They're just pretty balanced

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:43.519
 and they rarely seem to struggle

00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:44.439
 with people-pleasing.

00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:46.919
 But for most of us,

00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:49.139
 it's a bit of a problem.

00:03:50.259 --> 00:03:51.139
 And in fact,

00:03:51.799 --> 00:03:52.859
 what I'm about to say

00:03:52.859 --> 00:03:54.539
 might actually depress you

00:03:54.539 --> 00:03:55.719
 a little bit

00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:56.240
 because,

00:03:56.620 --> 00:03:56.740
 well,

00:03:56.799 --> 00:03:58.159
 look what the Bible says.

00:03:58.500 --> 00:03:59.479
 It can be actually

00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:00.259
 sort of depressing.

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:01.819
 If you turn your Bibles

00:04:01.819 --> 00:04:02.959
 to Galatians 1,

00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:03.820
 verse 10,

00:04:03.980 --> 00:04:04.719
 Galatians 1,

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:05.120
 10,

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:06.020
 that's where we began

00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:07.980
 the text that Jeremiah

00:04:07.980 --> 00:04:10.040
 read this morning for us.

00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:10.600
 We're going through

00:04:10.600 --> 00:04:11.520
 the book of Galatians,

00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:11.939
 by the way.

00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:12.780
 That's why we're looking

00:04:12.780 --> 00:04:13.540
 at this next week.

00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:14.400
 We'll do chapter 2,

00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:15.319
 verse 1 to 10.

00:04:15.900 --> 00:04:16.740
 We're sort of going through.

00:04:16.900 --> 00:04:18.060
 It'll take us 13 weeks.

00:04:18.139 --> 00:04:18.819
 This is week 2.

00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:20.199
 And here's what Paul says.

00:04:20.540 --> 00:04:22.180
 He's just said

00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:23.920
 that those who change

00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:24.639
 the gospel,

00:04:24.860 --> 00:04:25.800
 let them be accursed.

00:04:25.900 --> 00:04:26.920
 And I talked about that

00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:27.819
 in last Sunday's sermon.

00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:28.500
 You can go online

00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:29.280
 and listen to it.

00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:30.379
 And then in verse 10,

00:04:30.379 --> 00:04:30.639
 he says,

00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.000
 For am I now seeking

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:32.600
 the approval

00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:34.519
 man or of God?

00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.359
 Or am I trying

00:04:36.359 --> 00:04:37.359
 to please man?

00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:39.519
 If I were still

00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.079
 trying to please man,

00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:42.339
 that's human beings,

00:04:42.699 --> 00:04:44.319
 I would not be

00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:45.740
 a servant of Christ.

00:04:47.019 --> 00:04:48.120
 Now that's a pretty

00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:49.339
 hard saying, isn't it?

00:04:49.379 --> 00:04:50.439
 If I were still

00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:51.859
 trying to please man,

00:04:51.899 --> 00:04:52.740
 I would not be

00:04:52.740 --> 00:04:53.859
 a servant of Christ.

00:04:54.159 --> 00:04:54.740
 If you could put

00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:55.679
 the first point up,

00:04:56.259 --> 00:04:57.779
 here's what Paul's saying.

00:04:58.759 --> 00:04:59.719
 It'll come up.

00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.100
 The more I am motivated

00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:05.440
 by people pleasing,

00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:07.360
 the less I serve

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:08.200
 Jesus Christ.

00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:11.800
 The more I am motivated

00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.060
 by people pleasing,

00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:14.880
 the less I serve

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:15.540
 Jesus Christ.

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:16.660
 That's what the Bible said.

00:05:16.760 --> 00:05:17.640
 If I were still

00:05:17.640 --> 00:05:18.900
 trying to please man,

00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:20.220
 I would not be

00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:22.240
 a servant of Christ.

00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:23.720
 Now for some of us,

00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:24.900
 this is really depressing.

00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:26.560
 As soon as I raise

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.080
 the topic of people pleasing,

00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.599
 you think, oh yeah,

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:30.699
 that's a big problem

00:05:30.699 --> 00:05:31.539
 that I have.

00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:33.519
 I wish I could be

00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:34.099
 free of it.

00:05:34.859 --> 00:05:35.879
 And now I go ahead

00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:36.659
 and share the really

00:05:36.659 --> 00:05:37.659
 good news with you

00:05:37.659 --> 00:05:38.439
 that to the extent

00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:39.399
 you have that problem,

00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:41.219
 you're not following Jesus.

00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:42.959
 So I've just added

00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.899
 an extra large burden

00:05:44.899 --> 00:05:46.000
 on your back.

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:47.180
 And now I'll say

00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:47.979
 the end of the sermon,

00:05:48.139 --> 00:05:49.000
 go in peace to love

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:49.819
 and serve the Lord.

00:05:50.219 --> 00:05:51.379
 And off we go,

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.919
 even more depressed

00:05:52.919 --> 00:05:54.319
 than we were before.

00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.659
 because now we're not only

00:05:56.659 --> 00:05:58.339
 have a people pleasing problem,

00:05:58.459 --> 00:06:00.599
 but Jesus has said

00:06:00.599 --> 00:06:03.899
 that we're not following him.

00:06:04.719 --> 00:06:07.399
 Now, just a couple of things.

00:06:07.719 --> 00:06:08.199
 The text,

00:06:08.259 --> 00:06:09.379
 if you look at the text again,

00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.199
 if I were still trying

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:11.980
 to please man,

00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:12.680
 I would not be

00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:13.819
 a servant of Christ.

00:06:15.039 --> 00:06:16.659
 Just to try to,

00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.240
 just chill out, right?

00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:19.719
 What is it the Bible

00:06:19.719 --> 00:06:20.420
 is saying here?

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:21.360
 First of all,

00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:21.899
 it's not saying

00:06:21.899 --> 00:06:22.800
 that you're not a Christian.

00:06:25.159 --> 00:06:25.599
 Okay?

00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.459
 This letter is written

00:06:27.459 --> 00:06:28.819
 to Christians in a church.

00:06:28.899 --> 00:06:29.680
 So the Bible text

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:30.300
 isn't saying

00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:31.819
 if you're a people pleaser,

00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:33.480
 you're not mine.

00:06:33.939 --> 00:06:35.060
 No, it's not saying that.

00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:35.920
 It's saying something

00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:37.519
 which if we think about it

00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:38.600
 is actually true

00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:39.939
 to the extent

00:06:39.939 --> 00:06:41.500
 that I am concerned

00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:42.920
 about people pleasing

00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.079
 when the pointy edge

00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:45.779
 of the gospel,

00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.319
 when different commands come

00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:48.000
 that might mean

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:48.980
 that I have to be different

00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:50.279
 than the way Canadians are

00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:50.879
 or think

00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.399
 or do things

00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:53.259
 that Canadians think

00:06:53.259 --> 00:06:53.779
 are weird,

00:06:53.779 --> 00:06:54.779
 like pray

00:06:54.779 --> 00:06:55.899
 or go to church

00:06:55.899 --> 00:06:56.779
 or stuff like that,

00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:57.879
 the more that we're consumed

00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:58.659
 with people pleasing,

00:06:58.739 --> 00:06:59.459
 the harder it's going to be

00:06:59.459 --> 00:07:00.139
 to do that.

00:07:00.719 --> 00:07:02.479
 But the text isn't saying

00:07:02.479 --> 00:07:03.279
 you're not a Christian.

00:07:04.039 --> 00:07:04.299
 Okay?

00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:04.939
 It's just saying

00:07:04.939 --> 00:07:05.619
 it's affecting

00:07:05.619 --> 00:07:06.719
 your discipleship,

00:07:06.819 --> 00:07:07.959
 not your salvation.

00:07:09.679 --> 00:07:11.139
 Now, here's another thing

00:07:11.139 --> 00:07:12.419
 because some of us

00:07:12.419 --> 00:07:12.859
 might say,

00:07:12.939 --> 00:07:13.439
 well, you know,

00:07:13.599 --> 00:07:13.879
 George,

00:07:13.979 --> 00:07:14.739
 this is sort of

00:07:14.739 --> 00:07:16.000
 vaguely interesting,

00:07:16.159 --> 00:07:17.159
 but I don't have a problem

00:07:17.159 --> 00:07:18.039
 with people pleasing.

00:07:18.419 --> 00:07:19.000
 If you could put up

00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:19.579
 the next point.

00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:21.060
 Here's the thing

00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:22.079
 which often goes

00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:24.019
 in many of our hearts.

00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:25.359
 We human beings

00:07:25.359 --> 00:07:26.979
 are so deeply controlled

00:07:26.979 --> 00:07:28.039
 by people pleasing

00:07:28.039 --> 00:07:29.939
 that we don't often recognize

00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:32.319
 that the way we move away

00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:33.399
 from people pleasing,

00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.319
 or at least we think

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:34.939
 we're moving away

00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:35.860
 from people pleasing,

00:07:35.860 --> 00:07:37.079
 is just moving into

00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:38.500
 two different forms

00:07:38.500 --> 00:07:39.779
 of people pleasing.

00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:41.639
 When I get sick

00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:42.699
 of people pleasing,

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.259
 I move to either

00:07:44.259 --> 00:07:45.079
 pride,

00:07:45.779 --> 00:07:46.699
 narcissism,

00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:48.300
 or cynicism

00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:49.339
 and despair.

00:07:50.659 --> 00:07:52.019
 Now, why are these

00:07:52.019 --> 00:07:53.339
 basically both forms

00:07:53.339 --> 00:07:54.379
 of people pleasing?

00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:56.659
 And it's interesting,

00:07:56.779 --> 00:07:56.920
 right?

00:07:57.019 --> 00:07:57.459
 Because,

00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:58.759
 like,

00:07:58.819 --> 00:07:59.539
 what is it that

00:07:59.539 --> 00:08:01.439
 our culture

00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:02.399
 basically says

00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:03.319
 around marriage?

00:08:03.699 --> 00:08:04.899
 Our culture says

00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:05.740
 around marriage

00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:06.699
 that we need

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:07.740
 to find somebody

00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:08.319
 who's going to be

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:09.439
 our soulmate,

00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:10.839
 who can

00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.779
 encourage us

00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:13.779
 and keep us going

00:08:13.779 --> 00:08:14.680
 in our projects

00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:15.879
 and can affirm us.

00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.019
 Well, that's what

00:08:17.019 --> 00:08:17.719
 our culture says.

00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:18.740
 Our culture says

00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:19.740
 around our own

00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:20.319
 personal thing

00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:21.259
 that nobody can tell you

00:08:21.259 --> 00:08:21.860
 how to be happy.

00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:22.600
 You have to choose

00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:23.659
 how to be happy yourself,

00:08:23.779 --> 00:08:24.779
 make yourself happy.

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:25.860
 You have to do

00:08:25.860 --> 00:08:26.639
 all of these things.

00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:27.600
 Basically,

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.180
 what it's actually saying

00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:31.560
 is it's exalting

00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:32.500
 people pleasing

00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:34.740
 where I now move

00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:35.299
 to the point

00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:35.799
 where I say,

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:36.600
 well, I'm not going

00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:37.220
 to try to please

00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:38.080
 you folks.

00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:40.259
 You should please me.

00:08:42.179 --> 00:08:42.960
 It's still a form

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:43.620
 of people pleasing,

00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:43.860
 right?

00:08:43.899 --> 00:08:44.500
 But I've given up

00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:45.000
 on the idea

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.240
 of trying to please

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:46.779
 you folks.

00:08:46.899 --> 00:08:47.600
 I now want to say,

00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:48.299
 why am I trying

00:08:48.299 --> 00:08:49.620
 to please you folks

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:50.059
 if you knew

00:08:50.059 --> 00:08:51.259
 how wonderful I was

00:08:51.259 --> 00:08:52.659
 and if you knew

00:08:52.659 --> 00:08:53.820
 how my needs

00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:54.799
 are just so important

00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:55.460
 and more important

00:08:55.460 --> 00:08:56.139
 than yours?

00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:57.720
 So you should please me.

00:08:59.220 --> 00:08:59.899
 And, you know,

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.000
 a lot of models,

00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:01.980
 a lot of TV,

00:09:02.259 --> 00:09:02.539
 you know,

00:09:02.659 --> 00:09:03.340
 we want to move

00:09:03.340 --> 00:09:04.220
 towards a place

00:09:04.220 --> 00:09:04.899
 where there's nothing

00:09:04.899 --> 00:09:05.940
 to forgive or forget,

00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:07.799
 where we're marching

00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.120
 only to our own drummer

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:10.139
 and people have

00:09:10.139 --> 00:09:10.960
 to affirm

00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:12.560
 and applaud us.

00:09:13.400 --> 00:09:14.480
 And so it looks

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:15.180
 as if we're moving

00:09:15.180 --> 00:09:16.379
 away from people pleasing,

00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:17.440
 but all we've done

00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:19.280
 is sort of just said,

00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.000
 everybody has to please me.

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:21.879
 You're still in a

00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:22.860
 people pleasing world.

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:25.540
 And another very

00:09:25.540 --> 00:09:26.460
 common thing,

00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:28.139
 and it's funny

00:09:28.139 --> 00:09:28.879
 because there's a lot

00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:29.500
 of Christians

00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:30.500
 who think that

00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:31.860
 cynicism and despair

00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:33.060
 is a form of holiness

00:09:33.060 --> 00:09:35.139
 and spiritual maturity,

00:09:35.580 --> 00:09:37.300
 but it's not.

00:09:37.299 --> 00:09:41.799
 And one of the ways

00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:42.439
 that we deal

00:09:42.439 --> 00:09:43.939
 with the people pleasing

00:09:43.939 --> 00:09:45.039
 problem is we've just

00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:45.759
 basically been

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:46.919
 not very good at it.

00:09:48.179 --> 00:09:49.299
 And because we're not

00:09:49.299 --> 00:09:50.539
 very good at people pleasing,

00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:51.899
 then we say about people,

00:09:52.479 --> 00:09:53.379
 everybody's stupid,

00:09:54.019 --> 00:09:55.199
 everybody lies,

00:09:56.059 --> 00:09:57.240
 everybody sins,

00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:59.179
 everybody's a hypocrite,

00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.279
 nobody's going to do

00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:03.259
 the right thing.

00:10:04.359 --> 00:10:05.479
 Then we'll say they're dumb,

00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:06.599
 they're stupid,

00:10:07.299 --> 00:10:08.740
 nothing works,

00:10:09.439 --> 00:10:11.179
 institutions break down,

00:10:12.139 --> 00:10:12.419
 okay?

00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:13.639
 But, you know,

00:10:13.719 --> 00:10:15.039
 when we get that way,

00:10:15.859 --> 00:10:16.579
 first of all,

00:10:17.699 --> 00:10:19.759
 that is not a form

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.359
 of holiness.

00:10:23.839 --> 00:10:27.240
 That is a sick form,

00:10:27.579 --> 00:10:29.639
 a sickness of a problem

00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:31.339
 or a form of a problem,

00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:32.259
 another form of that

00:10:32.259 --> 00:10:33.079
 basic problem

00:10:33.079 --> 00:10:34.019
 of people pleasing.

00:10:34.019 --> 00:10:37.299
 Our desire to please people

00:10:37.299 --> 00:10:38.039
 and to get a sense

00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:38.819
 of self-worth

00:10:38.819 --> 00:10:39.379
 and identity

00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:41.100
 from people's affirmation

00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:41.620
 of us

00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:42.840
 has failed.

00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:45.360
 So we don't sort of

00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.399
 look for a solution

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:47.279
 to people pleasing,

00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.579
 we just sort of gag on it.

00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:53.299
 But still deep down,

00:10:53.419 --> 00:10:54.620
 and you can often see it

00:10:54.620 --> 00:10:55.419
 because there'll still be

00:10:55.419 --> 00:10:56.759
 attempts to people please,

00:10:56.939 --> 00:10:58.199
 but it's just another form

00:10:58.199 --> 00:10:59.000
 of people pleasing.

00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:00.179
 It's one that's despaired

00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:01.539
 on being successful

00:11:01.539 --> 00:11:02.799
 at it,

00:11:03.359 --> 00:11:04.279
 but does not have

00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:05.219
 an alternative of it.

00:11:05.479 --> 00:11:06.019
 Why do we know

00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:06.599
 that this is not

00:11:06.599 --> 00:11:07.559
 a form of spiritual,

00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:08.719
 some of you might say,

00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:09.120
 no, George,

00:11:09.139 --> 00:11:10.139
 it is this form of holiness.

00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:11.919
 Look at Romans chapter 3,

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:12.679
 for all have sinned

00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:13.199
 and fall short

00:11:13.199 --> 00:11:14.079
 of the glory of God.

00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:14.599
 Look at the,

00:11:14.939 --> 00:11:15.879
 look at Psalms,

00:11:15.959 --> 00:11:16.959
 like Psalm 58

00:11:16.959 --> 00:11:18.399
 and Psalm 109

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.239
 about how people's mouths

00:11:20.239 --> 00:11:21.799
 are like snakes' holes

00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:22.179
 and vipers

00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:23.719
 and no,

00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:23.899
 no,

00:11:23.899 --> 00:11:24.039
 no,

00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:24.199
 no,

00:11:24.199 --> 00:11:24.439
 no,

00:11:24.439 --> 00:11:24.639
 no,

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:24.879
 no,

00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:25.179
 no,

00:11:25.179 --> 00:11:25.419
 no,

00:11:25.419 --> 00:11:25.620
 no,

00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:25.639
 no,

00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:25.719
 no,

00:11:25.719 --> 00:11:26.739
 no.

00:11:27.319 --> 00:11:28.339
 Everything in the gospel

00:11:28.339 --> 00:11:29.379
 is centered around the fact

00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:30.879
 that for God so loved the world

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:32.199
 that he gave his one

00:11:32.199 --> 00:11:32.939
 and only son

00:11:32.939 --> 00:11:33.939
 to the end

00:11:33.939 --> 00:11:35.399
 that all that believe in him

00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.399
 will have eternal life.

00:11:38.479 --> 00:11:39.539
 God loves people.

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.459
 He knows they're sinners,

00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.239
 but he loves them.

00:11:46.979 --> 00:11:48.579
 So this text here

00:11:48.579 --> 00:11:49.539
 in verse 10 again

00:11:49.539 --> 00:11:50.059
 where it says,

00:11:50.059 --> 00:11:51.359
 if I were still trying

00:11:51.359 --> 00:11:52.319
 to please man,

00:11:52.459 --> 00:11:53.779
 I would not be a servant

00:11:53.779 --> 00:11:54.519
 of Christ.

00:11:55.299 --> 00:11:56.259
 It's a challenge

00:11:56.259 --> 00:11:57.159
 for those of us

00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:58.359
 who choose pride

00:11:58.359 --> 00:11:59.439
 and narcissism.

00:11:59.599 --> 00:12:00.299
 It's a challenge

00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:01.119
 for us who choose

00:12:01.119 --> 00:12:02.319
 cynicism and despair.

00:12:02.939 --> 00:12:03.759
 It's a prize.

00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:04.899
 It is a,

00:12:05.839 --> 00:12:06.219
 it is,

00:12:06.339 --> 00:12:07.459
 it applies to us

00:12:07.459 --> 00:12:08.239
 who just have

00:12:08.239 --> 00:12:09.459
 a straight up form

00:12:09.459 --> 00:12:10.479
 of people pleasing

00:12:10.479 --> 00:12:12.179
 that keeps messing up

00:12:12.179 --> 00:12:12.819
 our lives.

00:12:14.259 --> 00:12:14.819
 And,

00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.399
 it has,

00:12:16.459 --> 00:12:16.919
 it has a,

00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:17.539
 it has a word

00:12:17.539 --> 00:12:18.339
 to all of us.

00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:20.039
 But it's really

00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:20.519
 weird

00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.279
 because it looks

00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:23.939
 as if

00:12:23.939 --> 00:12:25.279
 Paul just sort of

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:26.599
 throws that line in,

00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:27.500
 if I were still

00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:28.439
 trying to please man,

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:28.980
 I not would be

00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:29.980
 a servant of Christ.

00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:31.120
 And some of you

00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.059
 who remember the text

00:12:32.059 --> 00:12:32.419
 might say,

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:32.839
 but George,

00:12:32.899 --> 00:12:33.019
 you know,

00:12:33.079 --> 00:12:33.839
 he says that,

00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:35.159
 but then he ignores it.

00:12:35.579 --> 00:12:35.919
 It's a,

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:36.599
 it's as if he's

00:12:36.599 --> 00:12:37.439
 one of these guys,

00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:37.899
 George,

00:12:37.939 --> 00:12:38.579
 that just sort of

00:12:38.579 --> 00:12:39.379
 throws a bomb

00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:40.199
 into the room

00:12:40.199 --> 00:12:41.360
 to get everybody

00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:41.899
 stirred up

00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:42.759
 and then leaves

00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:44.319
 and go somewhere else.

00:12:44.319 --> 00:12:45.039
 And that's a little bit

00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:45.759
 what it seems like

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:46.399
 here in the text.

00:12:46.699 --> 00:12:47.299
 If I were still

00:12:47.299 --> 00:12:48.319
 trying to please man,

00:12:48.319 --> 00:12:48.819
 I would not be

00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:49.820
 a servant of Christ.

00:12:50.780 --> 00:12:50.980
 Oh,

00:12:51.020 --> 00:12:51.440
 then I took him

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:51.800
 to talk about

00:12:51.800 --> 00:12:52.720
 how I saw Jesus

00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.540
 and how I was violent

00:12:54.540 --> 00:12:55.580
 and how I became

00:12:55.580 --> 00:12:56.100
 a Christian.

00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:56.840
 And it just seems

00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:58.300
 as if on one level

00:12:58.300 --> 00:12:59.620
 as if he drops a bomb

00:12:59.620 --> 00:13:01.180
 and then moves on.

00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:02.520
 But actually,

00:13:02.520 --> 00:13:03.540
 it's really interesting

00:13:03.540 --> 00:13:04.420
 that what he does

00:13:04.420 --> 00:13:06.379
 is in an indirect manner,

00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.120
 he goes directly

00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:08.700
 to the heart

00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:10.120
 of the issue.

00:13:11.460 --> 00:13:12.220
 So look at

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:12.860
 what he does next.

00:13:13.180 --> 00:13:13.660
 And by the way,

00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:14.100
 to show you

00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:14.940
 that he hasn't just

00:13:14.940 --> 00:13:15.800
 sort of dropped the bomb

00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:16.439
 and moved on,

00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:17.419
 look at verse 11.

00:13:18.199 --> 00:13:19.719
 And in the ESV,

00:13:20.199 --> 00:13:21.599
 it has the word for.

00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:24.139
 In other words,

00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:25.000
 okay,

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.479
 I've just said

00:13:25.479 --> 00:13:26.299
 this big statement.

00:13:26.379 --> 00:13:26.919
 I've said a couple

00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:27.599
 of big statements.

00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:28.899
 If you change the gospel,

00:13:29.899 --> 00:13:31.699
 if you change the gospel,

00:13:31.839 --> 00:13:32.500
 you're accursed.

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.120
 And if you're trying

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.199
 to plead to the extent

00:13:35.199 --> 00:13:35.819
 that you're trying

00:13:35.819 --> 00:13:37.000
 to be a people pleaser,

00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:38.159
 to that extent,

00:13:38.259 --> 00:13:38.839
 you're not being

00:13:38.839 --> 00:13:39.879
 a servant of Christ.

00:13:40.620 --> 00:13:42.339
 And then he says for.

00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:43.720
 So he's connecting.

00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:44.980
 He's going to start

00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:45.920
 explaining this.

00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:46.480
 He's going to look

00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:47.519
 a little bit more deeply

00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:48.680
 into these two different

00:13:48.680 --> 00:13:49.580
 things that he said

00:13:49.580 --> 00:13:50.620
 and the other things

00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:51.000
 that he said

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:51.980
 in the first nine verses.

00:13:52.580 --> 00:13:53.759
 And so look what happens

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:55.120
 here in verse 11 and 12.

00:13:55.860 --> 00:13:56.940
 For I would have you know,

00:13:57.019 --> 00:13:57.980
 brothers and sisters,

00:13:58.460 --> 00:13:59.639
 that the gospel

00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.280
 that was preached by me

00:14:01.280 --> 00:14:03.420
 is not man's gospel.

00:14:03.540 --> 00:14:04.800
 It's not a human gospel.

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:06.379
 It's not a gospel

00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:07.580
 from flesh and blood.

00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:09.900
 For I did not receive it

00:14:09.900 --> 00:14:11.300
 from any human being,

00:14:11.299 --> 00:14:13.259
 nor was I taught it,

00:14:13.699 --> 00:14:15.079
 but I received it

00:14:15.079 --> 00:14:16.419
 through a revelation

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:18.439
 of Jesus Christ.

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.079
 Now, well, here's the first thing.

00:14:23.139 --> 00:14:23.599
 If you could put up

00:14:23.599 --> 00:14:24.539
 the point, Andrew.

00:14:25.179 --> 00:14:26.120
 So one of the things,

00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:26.899
 I talked about this

00:14:26.899 --> 00:14:28.099
 a little bit last week,

00:14:28.299 --> 00:14:29.379
 and it's very relevant

00:14:29.379 --> 00:14:30.120
 here again,

00:14:30.699 --> 00:14:31.599
 is the gospel.

00:14:31.819 --> 00:14:32.459
 Paul is saying

00:14:32.459 --> 00:14:33.740
 the gospel is not

00:14:33.740 --> 00:14:35.659
 the product of human genius.

00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:38.099
 And it doesn't matter

00:14:38.099 --> 00:14:39.339
 how that human genius

00:14:39.339 --> 00:14:40.620
 is formed.

00:14:40.620 --> 00:14:41.580
 And the way it talks about

00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:42.639
 in the original language,

00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:44.539
 it's not only that

00:14:44.539 --> 00:14:45.840
 it's not that he himself

00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:46.539
 was a genius,

00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.820
 it's also not the case

00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:50.259
 that he went and met somebody

00:14:50.259 --> 00:14:51.060
 who was a religious

00:14:51.060 --> 00:14:52.560
 or philosophical genius

00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:53.799
 and he learned from them.

00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:55.899
 And it's not that he was part of,

00:14:55.980 --> 00:14:56.340
 I don't know,

00:14:56.419 --> 00:14:57.700
 like the Christian equivalent

00:14:57.700 --> 00:14:58.860
 of Princeton, Yale,

00:14:58.960 --> 00:14:59.519
 and Harvard,

00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:00.560
 and Stanford,

00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:01.720
 and he just went

00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:02.500
 to the right place.

00:15:02.539 --> 00:15:03.340
 And it's not the case

00:15:03.340 --> 00:15:03.759
 that he was in

00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:04.620
 the most spectacular church

00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:06.879
 or the most spectacular

00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:07.840
 social group

00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:08.279
 or that he had

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:09.620
 spectacular parents.

00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:10.940
 What he's claiming,

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:12.419
 listen to it again,

00:15:12.620 --> 00:15:13.139
 verse 11,

00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:14.080
 for I would have you know,

00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:14.860
 brothers and sisters,

00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:15.659
 that the gospel

00:15:15.659 --> 00:15:16.659
 that was preached by me

00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:17.980
 is not man's gospel.

00:15:18.100 --> 00:15:18.659
 It didn't come

00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:19.580
 from human beings.

00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:20.779
 To make it clear,

00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:22.259
 it says he has

00:15:22.259 --> 00:15:23.639
 continued more denials.

00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:24.919
 He did not receive it

00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:25.940
 from any person.

00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:27.539
 He was not taught it,

00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:28.620
 but instead,

00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:30.360
 he received it

00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:31.379
 through a revelation

00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:32.279
 of Jesus Christ.

00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:33.339
 And the word revelation

00:15:33.339 --> 00:15:34.419
 in the original language

00:15:34.419 --> 00:15:36.480
 literally means

00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:39.220
 God making clear

00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:40.279
 what human beings

00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:41.059
 cannot know.

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.419
 It would be as if,

00:15:44.699 --> 00:15:45.659
 like to give a bit

00:15:45.659 --> 00:15:46.639
 of a human analogy,

00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.220
 there's a big black box here

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:51.620
 and it's lead lined

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:54.179
 and, you know,

00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:55.220
 has a Faraday,

00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:55.740
 you know,

00:15:55.819 --> 00:15:56.079
 it just,

00:15:56.199 --> 00:15:57.319
 it's no attempt

00:15:57.319 --> 00:15:58.079
 to get inside

00:15:58.079 --> 00:15:58.500
 and figure out

00:15:58.500 --> 00:15:59.019
 what's going on

00:15:59.019 --> 00:15:59.679
 is in it.

00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:01.279
 And unless somebody

00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.000
 somebody who has

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:03.480
 the, you know,

00:16:03.539 --> 00:16:04.500
 the key to open

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:05.000
 the locks

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:05.819
 because it's locked down,

00:16:05.839 --> 00:16:06.259
 unless somebody

00:16:06.259 --> 00:16:07.480
 picks up the box

00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:08.639
 so we can see

00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:09.519
 what's inside of it,

00:16:09.539 --> 00:16:10.039
 we could never

00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:11.199
 possibly know it.

00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:12.339
 And that's what

00:16:12.339 --> 00:16:13.100
 Paul is saying.

00:16:13.699 --> 00:16:14.240
 If you could put up

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.799
 the next thing.

00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:17.659
 What Paul is saying

00:16:17.659 --> 00:16:18.959
 is that Jesus Christ

00:16:18.959 --> 00:16:19.799
 himself

00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.519
 revealed to Paul

00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:23.759
 a capital,

00:16:23.819 --> 00:16:24.699
 this isn't the greatest

00:16:24.699 --> 00:16:25.579
 grammar in the world,

00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:26.720
 I apologize for it,

00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:27.860
 that's why the capital

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:28.839
 he is so handy.

00:16:28.939 --> 00:16:29.579
 It's not revealing

00:16:29.579 --> 00:16:30.839
 to Paul who Paul is,

00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:32.340
 but Jesus Christ

00:16:32.340 --> 00:16:33.759
 reveal himself,

00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:35.740
 revealed to Paul

00:16:35.740 --> 00:16:36.800
 who he is,

00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:37.440
 that's Jesus,

00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:39.440
 and what he accomplished

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:40.500
 in his life,

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:41.300
 death,

00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:42.460
 and resurrection.

00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:43.940
 That's what Paul

00:16:43.940 --> 00:16:44.660
 is claiming

00:16:44.660 --> 00:16:45.860
 happened to him.

00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:46.340
 It's a very,

00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:46.600
 very,

00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:47.560
 very big claim.

00:16:47.660 --> 00:16:48.060
 But remember,

00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:49.220
 he's beginning by saying

00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:49.780
 and all the way

00:16:49.780 --> 00:16:50.560
 through his writings,

00:16:50.740 --> 00:16:51.200
 he's never,

00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:51.600
 ever,

00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:52.259
 ever claims

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:52.879
 that there's something

00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:54.040
 special about him,

00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:55.379
 that there's something

00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:56.019
 that's because

00:16:56.019 --> 00:16:57.060
 Jesus chose him

00:16:57.060 --> 00:16:58.100
 because he was a genius,

00:16:58.220 --> 00:16:58.840
 as we're going to see

00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:00.240
 in a few more lines.

00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:01.080
 Paul is going to say,

00:17:01.500 --> 00:17:02.440
 I'm actually the least

00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:03.820
 likely person on the planet,

00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:04.859
 one of the least likely

00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:05.819
 people on the planet

00:17:05.819 --> 00:17:06.779
 for this to happen to

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:07.660
 happen to be me.

00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:09.420
 He's making absolutely

00:17:09.420 --> 00:17:10.680
 no claim about him

00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:11.859
 being special at all.

00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:13.480
 But what he's saying

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:15.240
 here is very,

00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:16.660
 very,

00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:17.660
 very important,

00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:18.339
 even for this

00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:19.480
 people-pleasing issue.

00:17:22.120 --> 00:17:22.839
 How do I get this?

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:23.620
 Yeah,

00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:24.259
 some of,

00:17:24.380 --> 00:17:25.579
 a few years ago,

00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:26.940
 some,

00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:27.880
 I don't know what it was,

00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:28.660
 some type of a

00:17:28.660 --> 00:17:29.660
 fundraising event

00:17:29.660 --> 00:17:30.880
 and it was going to be

00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.240
 a very fancy restaurant

00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:33.300
 and I don't think

00:17:33.300 --> 00:17:34.160
 my wife could come

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:35.240
 with me for some reason

00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:35.980
 but I think I had

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:38.020
 two or three extra tickets.

00:17:38.780 --> 00:17:39.440
 They gave us like

00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:39.980
 four tickets

00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:41.200
 so I took three of my kids

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.380
 to this fancy meal

00:17:42.380 --> 00:17:44.400
 in a fancy restaurant

00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.720
 and it was a table

00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:47.600
 of eight or ten.

00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:48.340
 I think it was a table

00:17:48.340 --> 00:17:48.900
 for eight.

00:17:49.060 --> 00:17:49.620
 Maybe it was either

00:17:49.620 --> 00:17:49.940
 eight or ten,

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:50.460
 it doesn't matter.

00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:51.180
 So,

00:17:51.260 --> 00:17:51.380
 you know,

00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.060
 I'm there with my kids

00:17:53.060 --> 00:17:53.800
 and,

00:17:53.860 --> 00:17:54.140
 you know,

00:17:54.180 --> 00:17:54.800
 we're all enjoying

00:17:54.800 --> 00:17:55.380
 the big meal

00:17:55.380 --> 00:17:55.860
 and of course,

00:17:55.859 --> 00:17:56.179
 what do you do

00:17:56.179 --> 00:17:56.740
 at a table?

00:17:56.859 --> 00:17:56.979
 Well,

00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:57.339
 I don't know,

00:17:57.379 --> 00:17:57.839
 you try to make

00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:58.519
 conversation,

00:17:59.000 --> 00:17:59.179
 right?

00:18:00.139 --> 00:18:00.459
 So,

00:18:00.879 --> 00:18:01.119
 I mean,

00:18:01.179 --> 00:18:02.000
 one thing we could

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:02.559
 have just done

00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:03.119
 is I could have

00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:03.979
 ignored the other

00:18:03.979 --> 00:18:04.719
 people on the table

00:18:04.719 --> 00:18:05.219
 and just talked

00:18:05.219 --> 00:18:05.979
 to my kids.

00:18:06.479 --> 00:18:07.459
 Always an option,

00:18:07.939 --> 00:18:08.199
 right?

00:18:08.959 --> 00:18:09.740
 But who wants

00:18:09.740 --> 00:18:10.599
 to be the person

00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:11.199
 who ignores

00:18:11.199 --> 00:18:11.839
 everybody else

00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:12.339
 on the table

00:18:12.339 --> 00:18:13.000
 and just talks

00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.339
 to their own group,

00:18:14.439 --> 00:18:14.619
 right?

00:18:14.919 --> 00:18:15.240
 So,

00:18:15.299 --> 00:18:15.799
 I try to make

00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:16.500
 conversation

00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:18.299
 and,

00:18:18.399 --> 00:18:20.599
 I don't know,

00:18:20.679 --> 00:18:21.219
 like I'm sort of

00:18:21.219 --> 00:18:21.819
 good at it,

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:22.240
 you know,

00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:22.699
 I talk,

00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:24.000
 ask them about sports,

00:18:24.199 --> 00:18:24.479
 weather,

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:25.599
 like just about

00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:26.500
 every music,

00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:27.420
 like the topics

00:18:27.420 --> 00:18:28.860
 there and every

00:18:28.860 --> 00:18:29.980
 time I ask the

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:30.779
 other people a

00:18:30.779 --> 00:18:31.220
 question,

00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:32.839
 I always got

00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:34.539
 a one word

00:18:34.539 --> 00:18:35.799
 answer with

00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:36.620
 one exception.

00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:40.240
 Towards the end

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:40.740
 of like my

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:41.599
 tenth attempt,

00:18:42.120 --> 00:18:42.779
 two of them

00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:43.740
 went like this,

00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:46.799
 rolled their

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:47.559
 eyes at me.

00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:48.500
 I felt like

00:18:48.500 --> 00:18:48.740
 saying,

00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:48.980
 listen,

00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:49.539
 I'm doing all

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:50.200
 the heavy lifting

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:50.680
 here.

00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:53.039
 you folks

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:53.380
 were only

00:18:53.380 --> 00:18:53.779
 giving me

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:54.220
 one word

00:18:54.220 --> 00:18:54.740
 answers,

00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:55.700
 like,

00:18:56.080 --> 00:18:56.539
 come on,

00:18:56.600 --> 00:18:57.120
 work with

00:18:57.120 --> 00:18:57.279
 me,

00:18:57.340 --> 00:18:57.779
 don't roll

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:58.480
 your eyes,

00:18:58.580 --> 00:18:58.900
 like I'm

00:18:58.900 --> 00:18:59.640
 getting desperate,

00:18:59.840 --> 00:19:00.140
 you know?

00:19:00.539 --> 00:19:00.820
 In fact,

00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:01.420
 I was never

00:19:01.420 --> 00:19:02.220
 able to succeed

00:19:02.220 --> 00:19:02.700
 to get them

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:03.460
 to a conversation,

00:19:03.620 --> 00:19:04.019
 we ended up

00:19:04.019 --> 00:19:04.480
 just chatting

00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:05.100
 with each other.

00:19:05.299 --> 00:19:05.700
 Like I just,

00:19:05.820 --> 00:19:06.320
 at some point

00:19:06.320 --> 00:19:06.680
 in time,

00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:08.420
 I exhausted

00:19:08.420 --> 00:19:09.900
 all conversation

00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:11.019
 starting gambits

00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:11.500
 with them.

00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:12.920
 And so,

00:19:13.019 --> 00:19:13.480
 I just talked

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:14.100
 to my kids,

00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:14.380
 you know,

00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:14.779
 it's just a

00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:15.420
 really awkward

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:15.860
 table.

00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:16.840
 But here's the

00:19:16.840 --> 00:19:17.039
 thing,

00:19:17.100 --> 00:19:17.560
 and this is the

00:19:17.560 --> 00:19:18.320
 way human beings

00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:18.560
 are.

00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:20.379
 You know,

00:19:20.399 --> 00:19:20.759
 I know that

00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:21.679
 we can stalk

00:19:21.679 --> 00:19:22.220
 people,

00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:22.940
 and I don't

00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:23.059
 know,

00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:24.299
 what's the word

00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:25.259
 in social media

00:19:25.259 --> 00:19:26.019
 where you go

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:26.899
 looking on

00:19:26.899 --> 00:19:27.659
 Facebook and

00:19:27.659 --> 00:19:27.879
 all,

00:19:28.659 --> 00:19:29.000
 what's it,

00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:29.440
 creeping?

00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:30.000
 What's it

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:30.240
 called?

00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:31.299
 Okay,

00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:31.980
 so I know you

00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:32.259
 can do

00:19:32.259 --> 00:19:32.740
 creeping,

00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:33.480
 okay?

00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:35.319
 But fundamentally,

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:35.940
 if you want to

00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:36.720
 know somebody,

00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:37.359
 you have to

00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:38.319
 talk with them,

00:19:38.419 --> 00:19:39.099
 and they need

00:19:39.099 --> 00:19:39.579
 to reveal

00:19:39.579 --> 00:19:40.139
 themselves.

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:41.679
 Like,

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.639
 nobody likes

00:19:42.639 --> 00:19:42.819
 it.

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:43.259
 If you were

00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:43.619
 to meet

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:44.159
 somebody,

00:19:44.339 --> 00:19:44.980
 and then after

00:19:44.980 --> 00:19:45.299
 a while,

00:19:45.379 --> 00:19:45.819
 you realize,

00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:46.119
 no,

00:19:46.139 --> 00:19:46.379
 I'm meeting

00:19:46.379 --> 00:19:46.799
 you for the

00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:47.359
 first time,

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:47.659
 but no,

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:48.079
 they know all

00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:48.539
 these things,

00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:49.059
 about you,

00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:49.519
 that would

00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:50.419
 creep you

00:19:50.419 --> 00:19:50.819
 out and

00:19:50.819 --> 00:19:51.319
 freak you

00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:51.500
 out,

00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:51.720
 right?

00:19:51.779 --> 00:19:52.119
 Because that's

00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.200
 not normal

00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:55.000
 human behavior

00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:55.720
 in case you

00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:56.220
 were wondering

00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:56.819
 about it,

00:19:56.899 --> 00:19:57.139
 okay?

00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:57.519
 Or it's not

00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:58.940
 admirable

00:19:58.940 --> 00:19:59.859
 human behavior.

00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:01.159
 But basically,

00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:01.819
 when human

00:20:01.819 --> 00:20:02.460
 beings,

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:03.379
 I mean,

00:20:03.419 --> 00:20:03.559
 you know,

00:20:03.619 --> 00:20:04.379
 I don't know,

00:20:04.419 --> 00:20:05.039
 like some of

00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:05.539
 the engineers

00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:06.220
 and scientists

00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:06.639
 in here,

00:20:06.679 --> 00:20:06.960
 they could

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:07.480
 figure this

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:07.639
 out.

00:20:07.679 --> 00:20:08.220
 It's completely

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:08.720
 passive.

00:20:08.980 --> 00:20:09.440
 All of the

00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:10.079
 effort to know

00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:10.639
 just comes

00:20:10.639 --> 00:20:11.059
 from us.

00:20:11.099 --> 00:20:11.399
 This is

00:20:11.399 --> 00:20:11.839
 completely

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:12.339
 passive.

00:20:13.179 --> 00:20:13.559
 And as you

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:13.980
 move up,

00:20:14.059 --> 00:20:14.220
 you know,

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:14.859
 dogs,

00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:15.899
 there's not

00:20:15.899 --> 00:20:16.339
 much to know

00:20:16.339 --> 00:20:16.919
 about dogs.

00:20:17.019 --> 00:20:17.559
 They just love

00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:18.200
 human beings,

00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:19.380
 and they're

00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:19.799
 always your

00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:20.160
 friend,

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:20.460
 and they're

00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:20.960
 always wondering

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:21.240
 when they're

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:21.460
 going to get

00:20:21.460 --> 00:20:22.240
 more food to

00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:22.480
 eat,

00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:23.539
 and they're,

00:20:23.539 --> 00:20:23.759
 you know,

00:20:23.819 --> 00:20:24.380
 optimistic.

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:25.160
 You know,

00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:25.740
 but fundamentally,

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:26.340
 most of the

00:20:26.340 --> 00:20:26.940
 knowing and the

00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:27.799
 caring comes from

00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:28.220
 human beings.

00:20:28.259 --> 00:20:28.600
 But when it

00:20:28.600 --> 00:20:29.100
 comes to knowing

00:20:29.100 --> 00:20:29.580
 another human

00:20:29.580 --> 00:20:29.779
 being,

00:20:29.840 --> 00:20:30.120
 the human

00:20:30.120 --> 00:20:30.680
 being has to

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:31.600
 reveal himself

00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:32.360
 or herself.

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:33.539
 Well,

00:20:33.580 --> 00:20:34.039
 if it's just

00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:34.819
 that way with

00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:35.200
 us,

00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:35.840
 with another

00:20:35.840 --> 00:20:36.620
 human being,

00:20:37.340 --> 00:20:38.539
 if you think

00:20:38.539 --> 00:20:38.960
 about it,

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:39.319
 then with

00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:39.900
 God,

00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:39.960
 God,

00:20:40.460 --> 00:20:42.140
 we can't

00:20:42.140 --> 00:20:42.900
 even creep

00:20:42.900 --> 00:20:43.480
 God.

00:20:46.360 --> 00:20:47.240
 Unless God

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.000
 chooses to

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:48.820
 reveal himself,

00:20:49.040 --> 00:20:49.580
 we can know

00:20:49.580 --> 00:20:50.240
 nothing about

00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:50.480
 him.

00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:51.259
 Like,

00:20:51.360 --> 00:20:52.160
 if I can't

00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:52.460
 know something

00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:52.920
 about these

00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:53.460
 four people

00:20:53.460 --> 00:20:54.140
 at the table

00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:55.080
 without them

00:20:55.080 --> 00:20:55.380
 revealing

00:20:55.380 --> 00:20:55.920
 themselves,

00:20:56.259 --> 00:20:56.860
 how on earth

00:20:56.860 --> 00:20:57.640
 can I possibly

00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:59.100
 think that I

00:20:59.100 --> 00:20:59.380
 will know

00:20:59.380 --> 00:20:59.940
 anything about

00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:00.620
 God unless he

00:21:00.620 --> 00:21:01.540
 reveals himself?

00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:02.620
 But you see,

00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.360
 so this is the

00:21:03.360 --> 00:21:04.000
 thing about this

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:04.300
 text.

00:21:04.420 --> 00:21:04.960
 On one hand,

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:05.460
 it's a very,

00:21:05.580 --> 00:21:06.259
 very big claim

00:21:06.259 --> 00:21:06.820
 that Paul is

00:21:06.820 --> 00:21:07.120
 making,

00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:07.719
 but on

00:21:07.719 --> 00:21:08.679
 another hand,

00:21:08.939 --> 00:21:09.559
 it's a very,

00:21:09.699 --> 00:21:10.679
 very reasonable

00:21:10.679 --> 00:21:12.019
 claim because

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:12.839
 when we think

00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:13.500
 about it for a

00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:13.699
 second,

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:14.259
 if there really

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:14.759
 is a God

00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:15.599
 that does exist,

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:16.739
 then it can't

00:21:16.739 --> 00:21:17.399
 just be that

00:21:17.399 --> 00:21:18.179
 we human beings

00:21:18.179 --> 00:21:19.079
 by our poetry,

00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:20.099
 by our philosophy,

00:21:20.339 --> 00:21:21.259
 by our science,

00:21:21.639 --> 00:21:22.759
 by our metaphysics,

00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:24.079
 by our rituals,

00:21:24.679 --> 00:21:25.459
 by our sheer

00:21:25.459 --> 00:21:26.919
 desire and anger

00:21:26.919 --> 00:21:27.579
 that we can ever

00:21:27.579 --> 00:21:28.899
 possibly know God,

00:21:29.199 --> 00:21:29.579
 we are going to

00:21:29.579 --> 00:21:30.419
 be completely and

00:21:30.419 --> 00:21:31.219
 utterly dependent

00:21:31.219 --> 00:21:32.059
 upon God to

00:21:32.059 --> 00:21:32.619
 reveal himself.

00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:33.479
 There's other

00:21:33.479 --> 00:21:34.399
 reasons given

00:21:34.399 --> 00:21:34.979
 and it's another

00:21:34.979 --> 00:21:35.979
 sermon as to why

00:21:35.979 --> 00:21:36.599
 it might be

00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:37.079
 reasonable,

00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:37.779
 to believe that

00:21:37.779 --> 00:21:38.699
 Paul actually

00:21:38.699 --> 00:21:39.359
 had a revelation

00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:39.959
 from God,

00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:40.559
 but his

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:41.679
 fundamental point

00:21:41.679 --> 00:21:42.599
 is a completely

00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:43.719
 valid one and

00:21:43.719 --> 00:21:44.419
 it's also a

00:21:44.419 --> 00:21:44.639
 really,

00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:45.399
 really important

00:21:45.399 --> 00:21:46.259
 one because

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:47.399
 what it's saying

00:21:47.399 --> 00:21:50.419
 is that God

00:21:50.419 --> 00:21:51.159
 is completely

00:21:51.159 --> 00:21:51.859
 the opposite

00:21:51.859 --> 00:21:52.459
 than the four

00:21:52.459 --> 00:21:53.059
 people at the

00:21:53.059 --> 00:21:53.359
 table.

00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:57.419
 That long

00:21:57.419 --> 00:21:58.339
 before I even

00:21:58.339 --> 00:21:59.279
 wanted to talk

00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:00.219
 to God or

00:22:00.219 --> 00:22:00.939
 even would think

00:22:00.939 --> 00:22:01.479
 that God would

00:22:01.479 --> 00:22:02.019
 want to talk

00:22:02.019 --> 00:22:02.559
 to me,

00:22:03.479 --> 00:22:04.339
 that he comes

00:22:04.339 --> 00:22:05.319
 to my table

00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:06.739
 and opens

00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:07.440
 himself up

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:07.779
 to me,

00:22:08.120 --> 00:22:09.120
 to have a

00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:09.640
 relationship

00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:10.259
 with me,

00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:12.220
 that he takes

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:12.680
 all the

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:13.160
 initiative

00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:14.620
 and he takes

00:22:14.620 --> 00:22:15.200
 the initiative,

00:22:15.579 --> 00:22:16.460
 he reveals

00:22:16.460 --> 00:22:17.500
 himself so he

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:18.200
 can be known

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:19.160
 and he reveals

00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:21.440
 himself because

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:22.160
 he wants to

00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:23.500
 know me and

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:23.839
 be in a

00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:24.759
 relationship with

00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:24.980
 me.

00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:25.880
 See, one of the

00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:26.680
 real problems we

00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:27.380
 have with people

00:22:27.380 --> 00:22:27.839
 pleasing, you see

00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:28.240
 how in an

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:29.099
 indirect way Paul

00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:29.579
 is starting to

00:22:29.579 --> 00:22:30.299
 actually deal at

00:22:30.299 --> 00:22:30.779
 the heart with

00:22:30.779 --> 00:22:31.400
 this problem of

00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:32.560
 people pleasing

00:22:32.560 --> 00:22:33.560
 because part of

00:22:33.560 --> 00:22:34.040
 the thing that

00:22:34.040 --> 00:22:34.880
 motivates those

00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:35.420
 of us who are

00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:36.100
 people pleasing

00:22:36.100 --> 00:22:37.440
 is that we get

00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:38.259
 our sense of

00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:39.460
 worth and some

00:22:39.460 --> 00:22:40.259
 of our identity

00:22:40.259 --> 00:22:41.380
 from having

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:42.660
 people like us

00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:43.640
 and communicate

00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:44.560
 that they like

00:22:44.560 --> 00:22:44.860
 us.

00:22:45.300 --> 00:22:45.920
 And it's as if

00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:46.800
 we don't have a

00:22:46.800 --> 00:22:47.420
 stable enough

00:22:47.420 --> 00:22:48.340
 identity or a

00:22:48.340 --> 00:22:48.860
 stable enough

00:22:48.860 --> 00:22:49.380
 sense of our

00:22:49.380 --> 00:22:50.759
 own value that

00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:51.700
 we're always

00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:52.540
 needing this type

00:22:52.540 --> 00:22:53.460
 of affirmation

00:22:53.460 --> 00:22:53.940
 from other

00:22:53.940 --> 00:22:54.320
 people.

00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:55.240
 Like how on

00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:55.759
 earth can I be

00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:56.560
 a good pastor

00:22:56.560 --> 00:22:57.700
 if the congregation

00:22:57.700 --> 00:22:58.780
 doesn't like my

00:22:58.780 --> 00:22:59.160
 sermon?

00:22:59.600 --> 00:23:00.240
 Woe is me,

00:23:00.320 --> 00:23:00.840
 there's something

00:23:00.840 --> 00:23:01.720
 wrong with me

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:02.680
 because I need

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:03.200
 to have that

00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:04.300
 type of affirmation.

00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:05.620
 And so right

00:23:05.620 --> 00:23:06.279
 from this very

00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:07.600
 start when Paul

00:23:07.600 --> 00:23:08.600
 seems to not be

00:23:08.600 --> 00:23:09.259
 talking about the

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:09.620
 problem with

00:23:09.620 --> 00:23:10.220
 people pleasing,

00:23:10.540 --> 00:23:11.120
 he's saying,

00:23:11.540 --> 00:23:14.240
 listen, God is

00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:15.279
 the one who came

00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:16.000
 to sit at your

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:16.800
 table to make

00:23:16.800 --> 00:23:18.200
 himself known so

00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:18.940
 you could know

00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:19.700
 him and he could

00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:20.040
 know you.

00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:21.340
 God did that to

00:23:21.340 --> 00:23:21.759
 you.

00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:23.620
 You didn't go to

00:23:23.620 --> 00:23:25.340
 God's table and

00:23:25.340 --> 00:23:26.240
 are now trying to

00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:27.580
 drag a response

00:23:27.580 --> 00:23:28.220
 out of him.

00:23:28.220 --> 00:23:30.460
 And you're

00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:30.819
 going to see in

00:23:30.819 --> 00:23:31.319
 a moment, he's

00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:31.740
 going to say,

00:23:32.539 --> 00:23:33.200
 while I was

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.120
 off following

00:23:35.120 --> 00:23:36.339
 human tradition,

00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:37.600
 while I was

00:23:37.600 --> 00:23:38.480
 off consumed

00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:39.259
 with prejudice,

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:40.420
 when I was

00:23:40.420 --> 00:23:41.480
 off consumed

00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:42.440
 with violence,

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:43.480
 when the last

00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:43.960
 thing that was

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:45.539
 on my mind was

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:46.500
 to actually sit

00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:47.480
 down with God

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:48.240
 and ask him

00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:49.480
 questions, when I

00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:50.140
 was consumed with

00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:50.880
 all of these other

00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:52.100
 things, he came

00:23:52.100 --> 00:23:52.940
 and sat down and

00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:53.799
 talked with me.

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:55.620
 And what he did

00:23:55.620 --> 00:23:56.299
 for me, he'll do

00:23:56.299 --> 00:23:56.819
 for you.

00:23:58.159 --> 00:23:58.399
 Could you

00:23:58.399 --> 00:23:58.700
 put up the

00:23:58.700 --> 00:23:59.200
 next thing,

00:23:59.619 --> 00:23:59.819
 Andrew?

00:24:01.059 --> 00:24:02.220
 This helps us

00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:03.019
 to understand

00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:04.680
 why Paul, in

00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:05.619
 chapter 1, verse

00:24:05.619 --> 00:24:06.359
 8 and 9, says

00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:07.039
 if you change

00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:07.940
 the gospel, you're

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:08.500
 doing something

00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:09.039
 accursed.

00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.019
 Human beings,

00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:14.139
 I can proclaim

00:24:14.139 --> 00:24:15.500
 what God has

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:16.299
 revealed about

00:24:16.299 --> 00:24:18.559
 himself, but I

00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:19.899
 cannot reveal

00:24:19.899 --> 00:24:20.619
 God.

00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.139
 Only God can

00:24:23.140 --> 00:24:24.840
 reveal himself.

00:24:27.060 --> 00:24:28.000
 See, and that's

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:28.840
 why sharing the

00:24:28.840 --> 00:24:29.860
 biblical gospel is

00:24:29.860 --> 00:24:30.540
 so important.

00:24:32.100 --> 00:24:33.500
 Because God has

00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:34.460
 revealed himself.

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:35.400
 Paul, in the

00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:36.300
 gospel, is saying

00:24:36.300 --> 00:24:38.460
 Jesus revealed

00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:40.060
 who he is and

00:24:40.060 --> 00:24:40.480
 what he's

00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:41.200
 accomplished on

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.060
 the cross, and

00:24:42.060 --> 00:24:43.620
 all I'm doing is

00:24:43.620 --> 00:24:45.320
 passing on what

00:24:45.320 --> 00:24:46.600
 he revealed to

00:24:46.600 --> 00:24:46.880
 me.

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:48.180
 And as I pass

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:49.180
 on what he

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:50.380
 revealed to me,

00:24:50.860 --> 00:24:52.300
 God continues his

00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:53.259
 work of revelation

00:24:53.259 --> 00:24:54.639
 to coming to

00:24:54.639 --> 00:24:55.519
 human beings,

00:24:55.700 --> 00:24:56.279
 ordinary,

00:24:56.919 --> 00:24:57.460
 fallible,

00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:58.419
 finite,

00:24:59.059 --> 00:25:00.099
 sometimes highly

00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:01.359
 disreputable human

00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:02.740
 beings like you

00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:03.079
 and me.

00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:07.319
 And to change

00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:08.480
 that is to

00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:09.099
 take the place

00:25:09.099 --> 00:25:09.559
 of God.

00:25:12.659 --> 00:25:13.619
 I can do a

00:25:13.619 --> 00:25:14.200
 better job of

00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:14.899
 revealing God

00:25:14.899 --> 00:25:15.579
 than God can

00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:16.480
 do of revealing

00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:17.000
 himself.

00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:18.740
 And once we

00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:19.259
 put it in those

00:25:19.259 --> 00:25:20.240
 terms, that's

00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:21.500
 unbelievably arrogant

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:22.039
 nonsense.

00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:23.480
 I'm going to be

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:24.019
 better at God

00:25:24.019 --> 00:25:24.839
 at revealing God.

00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:26.639
 Oh, yeah?

00:25:29.019 --> 00:25:29.899
 No, you're not.

00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:33.180
 No, you're not.

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:35.099
 And it's also

00:25:35.099 --> 00:25:35.819
 part of the thing

00:25:35.819 --> 00:25:36.240
 why, you know,

00:25:36.299 --> 00:25:37.299
 in evangelism and

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:37.839
 stuff, one of the

00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:38.599
 main things of

00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:39.480
 evangelism is not

00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:40.200
 just that we have

00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:41.319
 some opportunity

00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:42.039
 where we can bear

00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:42.839
 witness to Jesus,

00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:43.779
 but that we pray.

00:25:44.819 --> 00:25:45.879
 Because all we can

00:25:45.879 --> 00:25:46.460
 really do is

00:25:46.460 --> 00:25:48.740
 proclaim what God

00:25:48.740 --> 00:25:49.639
 has revealed about

00:25:49.639 --> 00:25:50.700
 himself to others,

00:25:50.700 --> 00:25:52.120
 but God still

00:25:52.120 --> 00:25:53.240
 has to do the

00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:53.559
 work.

00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:54.680
 He does all the

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:54.960
 work.

00:25:55.980 --> 00:25:56.920
 All we can do is

00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:57.640
 pray for our

00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:58.660
 family, pray for

00:25:58.660 --> 00:25:59.319
 our loved ones,

00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:00.039
 pray for our

00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:00.900
 neighbors, pray for

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:01.860
 our co-workers,

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:03.140
 that God would

00:26:03.140 --> 00:26:04.100
 touch their hearts

00:26:04.100 --> 00:26:04.900
 with the gospel.

00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:04.960
 people.

00:26:08.800 --> 00:26:08.940
 Now,

00:26:10.080 --> 00:26:16.960
 I lost my place.

00:26:17.140 --> 00:26:17.500
 There we go.

00:26:17.540 --> 00:26:18.080
 Not the end of the

00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:18.720
 world when you lose

00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:19.280
 your place.

00:26:21.380 --> 00:26:21.960
 Oh, yeah.

00:26:26.820 --> 00:26:27.560
 There's a thing

00:26:27.560 --> 00:26:28.320
 that is just coming

00:26:28.320 --> 00:26:29.120
 up in the text,

00:26:29.460 --> 00:26:30.820
 which has really,

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:31.460
 really troubled

00:26:31.460 --> 00:26:32.300
 lots of Christians

00:26:32.300 --> 00:26:33.160
 because it seems to

00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:33.620
 talk about

00:26:33.619 --> 00:26:34.539
 predestination.

00:26:35.819 --> 00:26:36.639
 In fact, not only

00:26:36.639 --> 00:26:37.500
 does it claim

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:38.779
 about predestination,

00:26:38.879 --> 00:26:39.679
 it actually talks

00:26:39.679 --> 00:26:40.659
 about predestination

00:26:40.659 --> 00:26:41.239
 and election.

00:26:42.219 --> 00:26:43.259
 And this is very,

00:26:43.379 --> 00:26:44.179
 very frightening

00:26:44.179 --> 00:26:45.139
 and hard for a lot

00:26:45.139 --> 00:26:45.799
 of us Christians.

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:46.759
 And it's funny,

00:26:47.859 --> 00:26:49.299
 it's easy when,

00:26:49.399 --> 00:26:49.859
 if you were doing

00:26:49.859 --> 00:26:50.819
 a Bible study around

00:26:50.819 --> 00:26:51.879
 this, that you get

00:26:51.879 --> 00:26:52.639
 off the rabbit

00:26:52.639 --> 00:26:53.559
 trail trying to

00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:54.500
 figure out how it

00:26:54.500 --> 00:26:56.339
 works without ever

00:26:56.339 --> 00:26:57.399
 realizing that what's

00:26:57.399 --> 00:26:58.219
 going on in the text

00:26:58.219 --> 00:26:59.039
 continues to

00:26:59.039 --> 00:26:59.739
 indirectly,

00:27:00.239 --> 00:27:01.659
 directly talk about

00:27:01.659 --> 00:27:02.639
 this human problem

00:27:02.639 --> 00:27:03.439
 we have of people,

00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:03.820
 pleasing.

00:27:04.460 --> 00:27:05.480
 But let's see

00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:06.120
 what the text says.

00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:07.279
 Look at verse 13.

00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:10.360
 Remember,

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:10.840
 it's just talked

00:27:10.840 --> 00:27:11.500
 about Revelation.

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:12.640
 And then there's

00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:13.360
 a four there,

00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:14.080
 verse 13.

00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:14.980
 For you have heard

00:27:14.980 --> 00:27:16.240
 of my former life

00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:17.039
 in Judaism,

00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:18.980
 how I persecuted

00:27:18.980 --> 00:27:19.900
 the church of God

00:27:19.900 --> 00:27:20.539
 violently

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:22.140
 and tried to

00:27:22.140 --> 00:27:22.779
 destroy it.

00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:24.820
 And I was advancing

00:27:24.820 --> 00:27:25.519
 in Judaism

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:26.620
 beyond many of my

00:27:26.620 --> 00:27:27.340
 own age

00:27:27.340 --> 00:27:29.779
 among my people.

00:27:29.779 --> 00:27:31.359
 so extremely

00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:32.359
 zealous was I

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:33.139
 for the traditions

00:27:33.139 --> 00:27:34.099
 of my fathers.

00:27:35.299 --> 00:27:36.079
 Now just pause

00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:36.759
 here for a second.

00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:38.720
 You know,

00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:39.139
 one of the things

00:27:39.139 --> 00:27:39.740
 you're supposed to do

00:27:39.740 --> 00:27:40.500
 when you do sermons

00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:41.119
 is you're supposed

00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:42.039
 to cut out all the

00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:42.899
 chaff and everything

00:27:42.899 --> 00:27:43.579
 like that and just

00:27:43.579 --> 00:27:44.220
 have your singular

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:44.720
 point.

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:46.039
 And so this next

00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:46.759
 point actually

00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:47.879
 doesn't really fit

00:27:47.879 --> 00:27:48.920
 with the sermon.

00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:50.480
 But I just sort of

00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:51.220
 felt compelled

00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:52.420
 to point it out

00:27:52.420 --> 00:27:52.759
 to you.

00:27:52.879 --> 00:27:53.339
 Could you put it

00:27:53.339 --> 00:27:53.799
 up, Andrew?

00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:57.240
 Paul repents

00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:58.059
 of his zeal

00:27:58.059 --> 00:27:58.859
 for violence,

00:27:59.419 --> 00:28:00.200
 his prejudice,

00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:01.460
 and his pursuit

00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:02.379
 of human-made

00:28:02.379 --> 00:28:02.899
 tradition.

00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:03.819
 But note,

00:28:04.299 --> 00:28:05.220
 he does not

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:06.220
 repent of being

00:28:06.220 --> 00:28:06.759
 Jewish.

00:28:09.019 --> 00:28:09.879
 This is going to

00:28:09.879 --> 00:28:10.720
 be really important

00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:11.299
 for the rest

00:28:11.299 --> 00:28:11.799
 of the letter.

00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:15.559
 When a Jewish

00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:16.519
 person becomes

00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:17.200
 a Christian,

00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:19.359
 they don't cease

00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:20.200
 being Jewish.

00:28:20.579 --> 00:28:21.299
 They become

00:28:21.299 --> 00:28:22.500
 a completed Jew.

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:28.839
 And when pagans,

00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:30.799
 like most of us,

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:32.519
 become Christians,

00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.180
 we become at one

00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:38.599
 with our Jewish

00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:39.660
 brothers and sisters

00:28:39.660 --> 00:28:40.259
 who become

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:41.319
 completed Jews.

00:28:41.819 --> 00:28:42.940
 But God has not

00:28:42.940 --> 00:28:43.839
 given up on the

00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:44.579
 Jewish people

00:28:44.579 --> 00:28:45.500
 and the promises

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:47.140
 have not ceased

00:28:47.140 --> 00:28:48.220
 for the Jewish

00:28:48.220 --> 00:28:48.660
 people.

00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:50.420
 They still are part

00:28:50.420 --> 00:28:51.299
 of God's plan.

00:28:52.500 --> 00:28:53.720
 being Jewish

00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:54.400
 doesn't make you

00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:54.900
 go to heaven.

00:28:58.279 --> 00:28:59.119
 But those

00:28:59.119 --> 00:28:59.640
 who are in the

00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:00.700
 lineage of Abraham

00:29:00.700 --> 00:29:01.420
 and Isaac

00:29:01.420 --> 00:29:02.059
 and Jacob

00:29:02.059 --> 00:29:02.740
 and Moses

00:29:02.740 --> 00:29:03.700
 and the inheritors

00:29:03.700 --> 00:29:04.519
 of the promise,

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:06.180
 Paul never

00:29:06.180 --> 00:29:06.940
 repents

00:29:06.940 --> 00:29:08.220
 of being Jewish.

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:10.000
 Salvation

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:11.740
 is from the Jews.

00:29:12.740 --> 00:29:13.680
 That's what Paul

00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:14.619
 says in the book

00:29:14.619 --> 00:29:15.180
 of Romans.

00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:16.700
 Salvation is

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:17.380
 from the Jews.

00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:19.140
 So just

00:29:19.140 --> 00:29:19.740
 want to

00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:20.700
 point that out

00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:21.280
 and it's going

00:29:21.280 --> 00:29:21.600
 to become

00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:22.680
 increasingly important

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:24.040
 because what's

00:29:24.040 --> 00:29:24.600
 going on

00:29:24.600 --> 00:29:25.600
 in the gospel

00:29:25.600 --> 00:29:27.120
 in the book

00:29:27.120 --> 00:29:27.880
 of Galatians

00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:29.480
 is that

00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:31.580
 people

00:29:31.580 --> 00:29:32.620
 have come

00:29:32.620 --> 00:29:33.280
 to the church

00:29:33.280 --> 00:29:34.000
 and are trying

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:34.780
 to improve

00:29:34.780 --> 00:29:35.540
 the gospel

00:29:35.540 --> 00:29:37.400
 by saying

00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:38.020
 that you have

00:29:38.020 --> 00:29:38.380
 to keep

00:29:38.380 --> 00:29:38.860
 all of the

00:29:38.860 --> 00:29:39.740
 Jewish rules

00:29:39.740 --> 00:29:40.880
 and all of the

00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:41.560
 Jewish traditions

00:29:41.560 --> 00:29:42.160
 and all of the

00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:42.760
 Jewish laws.

00:29:42.760 --> 00:29:43.820
 Not just the Torah

00:29:43.820 --> 00:29:45.600
 but the traditions.

00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:47.139
 and so it's

00:29:47.139 --> 00:29:47.379
 going to be

00:29:47.379 --> 00:29:48.079
 very important

00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:48.699
 because Paul

00:29:48.699 --> 00:29:49.139
 as the letter

00:29:49.139 --> 00:29:49.659
 goes on

00:29:49.659 --> 00:29:50.039
 is going to

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:51.019
 show how

00:29:51.019 --> 00:29:51.599
 the gospel

00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:52.419
 emerges out

00:29:52.419 --> 00:29:52.859
 of the Old

00:29:52.859 --> 00:29:53.299
 Testament

00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:54.059
 and how

00:29:54.059 --> 00:29:55.259
 Jesus fulfills

00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:55.759
 the Old

00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:56.159
 Testament

00:29:56.159 --> 00:29:56.679
 and this

00:29:56.679 --> 00:29:57.639
 complicated

00:29:57.639 --> 00:29:58.339
 relationship

00:29:58.339 --> 00:29:58.799
 between

00:29:58.799 --> 00:29:59.480
 Judaism

00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:01.119
 and the

00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:01.719
 Messiah

00:30:01.719 --> 00:30:03.339
 and pagans

00:30:03.339 --> 00:30:04.559
 and receiving

00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:05.259
 the Messiah

00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:06.219
 and so I just

00:30:06.219 --> 00:30:06.599
 thought I'd

00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:07.139
 throw it in.

00:30:08.579 --> 00:30:09.099
 But here's

00:30:09.099 --> 00:30:09.559
 the troubling

00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:10.500
 part for probably

00:30:10.500 --> 00:30:11.319
 most of us

00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:13.500
 about election

00:30:13.500 --> 00:30:14.819
 and predestination.

00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:16.659
 verse 15

00:30:16.659 --> 00:30:19.119
 But when he

00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:20.199
 who had set

00:30:20.199 --> 00:30:20.759
 me apart

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:21.459
 before I was

00:30:21.459 --> 00:30:21.859
 born

00:30:21.859 --> 00:30:23.059
 and who

00:30:23.059 --> 00:30:23.699
 called me

00:30:23.699 --> 00:30:24.199
 by his

00:30:24.199 --> 00:30:24.759
 grace

00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:26.359
 was pleased

00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:27.039
 to reveal

00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:27.759
 his son

00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:28.359
 to me

00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:29.480
 in order

00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:30.039
 that I

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:30.559
 might preach

00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:30.919
 him among

00:30:30.919 --> 00:30:31.719
 the Gentiles

00:30:31.719 --> 00:30:33.039
 I did not

00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:33.459
 immediately

00:30:33.459 --> 00:30:34.139
 consult with

00:30:34.139 --> 00:30:34.459
 anyone.

00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:35.219
 And just

00:30:35.219 --> 00:30:36.000
 pause here.

00:30:36.539 --> 00:30:37.000
 It's those

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:37.579
 first few

00:30:37.579 --> 00:30:38.339
 verses which

00:30:38.339 --> 00:30:39.139
 are the first

00:30:39.139 --> 00:30:39.659
 few words

00:30:39.659 --> 00:30:40.079
 which are a

00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:40.359
 little bit

00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:40.819
 problematic

00:30:40.819 --> 00:30:41.399
 to a lot

00:30:41.399 --> 00:30:41.959
 of Christians.

00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:43.980
 What Paul

00:30:43.980 --> 00:30:44.279
 is going to

00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:44.879
 do after this

00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:45.200
 he's just

00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:45.460
 sort of

00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:45.700
 setting

00:30:45.700 --> 00:30:46.020
 some of

00:30:46.020 --> 00:30:46.480
 the facts

00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:46.860
 straight

00:30:46.860 --> 00:30:48.100
 to help

00:30:48.100 --> 00:30:48.500
 make it

00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:48.840
 known

00:30:48.840 --> 00:30:49.500
 why

00:30:49.500 --> 00:30:50.500
 it's

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:50.780
 just

00:30:50.780 --> 00:30:51.280
 people

00:30:51.280 --> 00:30:51.420
 who

00:30:51.420 --> 00:30:51.500
 are

00:30:51.500 --> 00:30:51.600
 going

00:30:51.600 --> 00:30:51.720
 to

00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:51.980
 doubt

00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:52.200
 that

00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:52.300
 he

00:30:52.300 --> 00:30:52.560
 got

00:30:52.560 --> 00:30:52.960
 all

00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:53.080
 of

00:30:53.080 --> 00:30:53.280
 this

00:30:53.280 --> 00:30:53.680
 gospel

00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:53.960
 from

00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:54.300
 Jesus

00:30:54.300 --> 00:30:54.680
 alone

00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:54.880
 and

00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:55.260
 why

00:30:55.260 --> 00:30:55.480
 it's

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:55.760
 a

00:30:55.760 --> 00:30:56.240
 reasonable

00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:56.540
 thing

00:30:56.540 --> 00:30:56.880
 to say

00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:57.060
 he

00:30:57.060 --> 00:30:57.280
 gives

00:30:57.280 --> 00:30:57.460
 some

00:30:57.460 --> 00:30:57.920
 facts.

00:30:58.740 --> 00:30:58.960
 And

00:30:58.960 --> 00:30:59.680
 those of

00:30:59.680 --> 00:30:59.900
 you who

00:30:59.900 --> 00:31:00.080
 like

00:31:00.080 --> 00:31:00.320
 reading

00:31:00.320 --> 00:31:01.180
 commentaries

00:31:01.180 --> 00:31:02.080
 a lot

00:31:02.080 --> 00:31:02.240
 of

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:02.660
 commentary

00:31:02.660 --> 00:31:03.080
 writers

00:31:03.080 --> 00:31:03.400
 go to

00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:03.800
 town

00:31:03.800 --> 00:31:04.200
 on this

00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:04.420
 bit

00:31:04.420 --> 00:31:04.720
 because

00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:04.880
 they

00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:05.040
 try

00:31:05.040 --> 00:31:05.180
 to

00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:05.440
 fit

00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:05.680
 all

00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:05.920
 this

00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:06.100
 in

00:31:06.100 --> 00:31:06.280
 with

00:31:06.280 --> 00:31:06.420
 the

00:31:06.420 --> 00:31:07.080
 chronology

00:31:07.080 --> 00:31:07.280
 and

00:31:07.280 --> 00:31:07.440
 how

00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:07.700
 long

00:31:07.700 --> 00:31:07.820
 he

00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:15.000
 the main

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:15.260
 thing

00:31:15.260 --> 00:31:15.480
 is

00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:15.620
 and

00:31:15.620 --> 00:31:15.780
 this

00:31:15.780 --> 00:31:15.940
 is

00:31:15.940 --> 00:31:16.280
 actually

00:31:16.280 --> 00:31:16.640
 sometimes

00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:17.060
 things

00:31:17.060 --> 00:31:17.360
 are a bit

00:31:17.360 --> 00:31:17.700
 helped

00:31:17.700 --> 00:31:17.940
 by

00:31:17.940 --> 00:31:18.400
 knowing

00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:18.600
 the

00:31:18.600 --> 00:31:18.840
 original

00:31:18.840 --> 00:31:19.260
 language

00:31:19.260 --> 00:31:19.640
 in this

00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:19.880
 case

00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:20.060
 it's

00:31:20.060 --> 00:31:20.320
 actually

00:31:20.320 --> 00:31:20.520
 even

00:31:20.520 --> 00:31:21.080
 starker

00:31:21.080 --> 00:31:21.240
 in the

00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:21.500
 original

00:31:21.500 --> 00:31:22.000
 language

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:23.180
 Paul

00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:23.800
 says

00:31:23.800 --> 00:31:24.980
 in

00:31:24.980 --> 00:31:25.260
 verse

00:31:25.260 --> 00:31:26.100
 16

00:31:26.100 --> 00:31:26.360
 or

00:31:26.360 --> 00:31:26.580
 verse

00:31:26.580 --> 00:31:27.140
 15

00:31:27.140 --> 00:31:28.200
 that

00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:28.600
 God

00:31:28.600 --> 00:31:29.160
 set

00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:29.440
 him

00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:29.800
 apart

00:31:29.800 --> 00:31:30.140
 before

00:31:30.140 --> 00:31:30.340
 he

00:31:30.340 --> 00:31:30.520
 was

00:31:30.520 --> 00:31:30.860
 born

00:31:30.860 --> 00:31:34.740
 in

00:31:34.740 --> 00:31:34.880
 other

00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:35.020
 words

00:31:35.020 --> 00:31:35.180
 that

00:31:35.180 --> 00:31:35.420
 God

00:31:35.420 --> 00:31:35.660
 was

00:31:35.660 --> 00:31:36.100
 working

00:31:36.100 --> 00:31:36.560
 in

00:31:36.560 --> 00:31:36.840
 his

00:31:36.840 --> 00:31:37.360
 life

00:31:37.360 --> 00:31:38.840
 in

00:31:38.840 --> 00:31:39.160
 such

00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:39.320
 a

00:31:39.320 --> 00:31:39.600
 way

00:31:39.600 --> 00:31:40.760
 preparing

00:31:40.760 --> 00:31:41.100
 him

00:31:41.100 --> 00:31:41.340
 for

00:31:41.340 --> 00:31:41.900
 salvation

00:31:41.900 --> 00:31:42.660
 that

00:31:42.660 --> 00:31:43.000
 even

00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:43.260
 when

00:31:43.260 --> 00:31:43.420
 he

00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:43.620
 was

00:31:43.620 --> 00:31:43.740
 in

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:43.880
 the

00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:44.320
 mother's

00:31:44.320 --> 00:31:44.660
 womb

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:45.060
 his

00:31:45.060 --> 00:31:45.540
 mother's

00:31:45.540 --> 00:31:45.740
 womb

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:46.080
 God

00:31:46.080 --> 00:31:46.259
 was

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:46.400
 at

00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:46.680
 work

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:48.080
 and

00:31:48.080 --> 00:31:48.519
 then

00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:49.620
 just

00:31:49.620 --> 00:31:49.820
 to

00:31:49.820 --> 00:31:50.000
 make

00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:50.120
 it

00:31:50.120 --> 00:31:50.340
 even

00:31:50.340 --> 00:31:50.800
 harder

00:31:50.800 --> 00:31:51.120
 for

00:31:51.120 --> 00:31:51.519
 us

00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:53.460
 he

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:54.019
 says

00:31:54.019 --> 00:31:54.900
 that

00:31:54.900 --> 00:31:55.259
 God

00:31:55.259 --> 00:31:56.080
 called

00:31:56.080 --> 00:31:56.480
 him

00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:58.160
 that

00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:58.259
 it

00:31:58.259 --> 00:31:58.460
 wasn't

00:31:58.460 --> 00:31:58.800
 a matter

00:31:58.800 --> 00:31:59.019
 of

00:31:59.019 --> 00:31:59.259
 Paul

00:31:59.259 --> 00:31:59.759
 calling

00:31:59.759 --> 00:31:59.940
 out

00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:00.140
 to

00:32:00.140 --> 00:32:00.759
 God

00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:01.640
 but

00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:01.960
 whenever

00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:02.580
 Paul

00:32:02.580 --> 00:32:02.960
 did

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:03.259
 call

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:03.440
 out

00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:03.620
 to

00:32:03.620 --> 00:32:03.980
 God

00:32:03.980 --> 00:32:04.220
 it

00:32:04.220 --> 00:32:04.380
 was

00:32:04.380 --> 00:32:04.660
 only

00:32:04.660 --> 00:32:05.060
 because

00:32:05.060 --> 00:32:05.500
 God

00:32:05.500 --> 00:32:05.700
 had

00:32:05.700 --> 00:32:05.860
 been

00:32:05.860 --> 00:32:06.100
 calling

00:32:06.100 --> 00:32:06.300
 out

00:32:06.300 --> 00:32:06.440
 to

00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:06.600
 him

00:32:06.600 --> 00:32:07.080
 first

00:32:07.080 --> 00:32:08.340
 so

00:32:08.340 --> 00:32:08.540
 if

00:32:08.540 --> 00:32:08.880
 you

00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:09.080
 look

00:32:09.080 --> 00:32:09.180
 at

00:32:09.180 --> 00:32:09.340
 what

00:32:09.340 --> 00:32:09.600
 Paul

00:32:09.600 --> 00:32:09.800
 is

00:32:09.800 --> 00:32:10.080
 saying

00:32:10.080 --> 00:32:10.340
 here

00:32:10.340 --> 00:32:10.640
 Paul

00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:10.840
 is

00:32:10.840 --> 00:32:11.040
 saying

00:32:11.040 --> 00:32:11.200
 that

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:11.380
 even

00:32:11.380 --> 00:32:11.540
 in

00:32:11.540 --> 00:32:11.680
 his

00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:12.080
 mother's

00:32:12.080 --> 00:32:12.259
 womb

00:32:12.259 --> 00:32:12.599
 God

00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:12.799
 was

00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:12.960
 at

00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:13.299
 work

00:32:13.299 --> 00:32:13.879
 preparing

00:32:13.879 --> 00:32:14.220
 him

00:32:14.220 --> 00:32:14.440
 for

00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:14.940
 salvation

00:32:14.940 --> 00:32:15.700
 that

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:15.980
 even

00:32:15.980 --> 00:32:16.140
 in

00:32:16.140 --> 00:32:16.279
 the

00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:16.480
 midst

00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:16.660
 of

00:32:16.660 --> 00:32:16.799
 his

00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:17.299
 violence

00:32:17.299 --> 00:32:17.460
 and

00:32:17.460 --> 00:32:17.619
 his

00:32:17.619 --> 00:32:18.039
 prejudice

00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:18.240
 and

00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:18.400
 his

00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:18.680
 pursuit

00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:18.839
 of

00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:19.059
 human

00:32:19.059 --> 00:32:19.519
 traditions

00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:20.359
 that

00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:20.720
 God

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:21.160
 was

00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:21.720
 calling

00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:22.119
 Paul

00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:22.660
 and

00:32:22.660 --> 00:32:22.779
 that

00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:22.920
 when

00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:23.240
 Paul

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:23.700
 becomes

00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:23.940
 a

00:32:23.940 --> 00:32:24.319
 Christian

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:24.839
 it's

00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:25.140
 not

00:32:25.140 --> 00:32:25.480
 because

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:25.779
 Paul

00:32:25.779 --> 00:32:25.960
 was

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.079
 on

00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:26.200
 a

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:26.460
 religious

00:32:26.460 --> 00:32:26.940
 quest

00:32:26.940 --> 00:32:27.420
 but

00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:27.839
 because

00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:28.579
 God

00:32:28.579 --> 00:32:28.859
 in

00:32:28.859 --> 00:32:28.980
 the

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:29.279
 person

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:29.420
 of

00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:29.539
 his

00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:29.740
 son

00:32:29.740 --> 00:32:30.039
 comes

00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:30.200
 and

00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:30.500
 actually

00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:31.140
 reveals

00:32:31.140 --> 00:32:31.559
 himself

00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:31.879
 to

00:32:31.879 --> 00:32:32.160
 Jesus

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:32.420
 and

00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:32.819
 converts

00:32:32.819 --> 00:32:33.039
 him

00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:33.500
 and

00:32:33.500 --> 00:32:33.799
 Paul

00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:33.980
 is

00:32:33.980 --> 00:32:34.240
 saying

00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:34.740
 that

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:35.099
 right

00:32:35.099 --> 00:32:35.319
 from

00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:35.500
 the

00:32:35.500 --> 00:32:35.799
 womb

00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:36.400
 right

00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:36.740
 throughout

00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:36.980
 his

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:37.339
 life

00:32:37.339 --> 00:32:37.579
 and

00:32:37.579 --> 00:32:37.900
 even

00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:38.039
 in

00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:38.160
 his

00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:38.640
 salvation

00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:38.920
 it

00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:39.440
 all

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:39.700
 the

00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:40.220
 initiative

00:32:40.220 --> 00:32:40.819
 comes

00:32:40.819 --> 00:32:41.079
 from

00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:41.599
 God

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:43.200
 and

00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:43.460
 some

00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:43.579
 of

00:32:43.579 --> 00:32:43.720
 us

00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:43.880
 get

00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:44.140
 very

00:32:44.140 --> 00:32:44.380
 very

00:32:44.380 --> 00:32:44.839
 worried

00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:47.480
 if

00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:47.559
 you

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:47.680
 could

00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:47.799
 put

00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:47.900
 up

00:32:47.900 --> 00:32:48.019
 the

00:32:48.019 --> 00:32:48.200
 next

00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:48.619
 point

00:32:48.619 --> 00:32:49.160
 Andrew

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.180
 here's

00:32:51.180 --> 00:32:51.339
 what

00:32:51.339 --> 00:32:51.579
 Paul

00:32:51.579 --> 00:32:51.720
 is

00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:51.940
 trying

00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:52.079
 to

00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:52.579
 communicate

00:32:52.579 --> 00:32:55.259
 God's

00:32:55.259 --> 00:32:55.640
 grace

00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:55.960
 is

00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:56.160
 not

00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:56.380
 a

00:32:56.380 --> 00:32:56.819
 threat

00:32:56.819 --> 00:32:57.599
 to

00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:57.799
 my

00:32:57.799 --> 00:32:58.099
 free

00:32:58.099 --> 00:32:58.440
 will

00:32:58.440 --> 00:32:59.599
 but

00:32:59.599 --> 00:32:59.759
 it

00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:00.180
 does

00:33:00.180 --> 00:33:00.799
 remove

00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:01.640
 every

00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:02.740
 conceivable

00:33:02.740 --> 00:33:03.440
 ground

00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:03.759
 for

00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:04.019
 my

00:33:04.019 --> 00:33:04.720
 boasting

00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:11.279
 when

00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:11.380
 I

00:33:11.380 --> 00:33:11.500
 was

00:33:11.500 --> 00:33:11.640
 in

00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:11.839
 my

00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:12.400

00:33:14.980 --> 00:33:15.240
 called

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:15.640
 Eganville

00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:15.759
 I

00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:15.960
 looked

00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:16.200
 after

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:16.339
 a

00:33:16.339 --> 00:33:16.500
 church

00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:16.620
 in

00:33:16.620 --> 00:33:16.960
 Eganville

00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:17.100

00:33:18.059 --> 00:33:19.140
 Tremor

00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:19.980

00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:20.180
 is

00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:20.460
 just

00:33:20.460 --> 00:33:20.660
 a

 sign

00:33:20.940 --> 00:33:21.079
 on

00:33:21.420 --> 00:33:21.519
 of

00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:24.819
 also

00:33:24.819 --> 00:33:25.140
 just

00:33:25.140 --> 00:33:25.420
 a

 road

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:27.640
 and

00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:28.680
 you

00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:28.779
 know

00:33:28.779 --> 00:33:28.920
 but

00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:29.200
 there

00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:29.380
 would

00:33:29.380 --> 00:33:29.519
 be

00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:29.900
 people

00:33:29.900 --> 00:33:30.140
 as

00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:30.240
 I

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:30.380
 got

00:33:30.380 --> 00:33:30.559
 to

00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:30.680
 know

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:30.839
 the

00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:31.100
 people

00:33:31.100 --> 00:33:31.339
 these

00:33:31.339 --> 00:33:31.920
 working

00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:32.299
 class

00:33:32.299 --> 00:33:32.660
 country

00:33:32.660 --> 00:33:32.980
 people

00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:33.279
 very

00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:33.860
 well

00:33:33.860 --> 00:33:34.099
 I

00:33:34.099 --> 00:33:34.259
 would

00:33:34.259 --> 00:33:34.480
 start

00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:34.660
 to

00:33:34.660 --> 00:33:34.880
 learn

00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:35.059
 a

00:33:35.059 --> 00:33:35.220
 little

00:33:35.220 --> 00:33:35.420
 bit

00:33:35.420 --> 00:33:35.640
 about

00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:35.860
 the

00:33:35.860 --> 00:33:36.880
 rivalries

00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:37.319
 and

00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:37.440
 the

00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:37.579
 way

00:33:37.579 --> 00:33:37.740
 they

00:33:37.740 --> 00:33:38.000
 viewed

00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:38.240
 each

00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:38.480
 other

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:39.640
 and

00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:39.759
 it

00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:40.039
 wasn't

00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:40.500
 unusual

00:33:40.500 --> 00:33:40.880
 for

00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:41.299
 people

00:33:41.299 --> 00:33:41.740
 for

00:33:41.740 --> 00:33:41.880
 me

00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:42.019
 to

00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:42.180
 hear

00:33:42.180 --> 00:33:42.559
 people

00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:42.880
 say

00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:43.120
 to

00:33:43.120 --> 00:33:43.299
 their

00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:43.799
 daughters

00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:44.140
 or

00:33:44.140 --> 00:33:44.339
 their

00:33:44.339 --> 00:33:44.779
 sons

00:33:44.779 --> 00:33:46.000
 well

00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:46.120
 we

00:33:46.120 --> 00:33:46.279
 don't

00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:46.500
 act

00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:46.660
 that

00:33:46.660 --> 00:33:46.819
 way

00:33:46.819 --> 00:33:46.980
 because

00:33:46.980 --> 00:33:47.160
 we're

00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:47.319
 a

00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:47.620
 Smith

00:33:47.620 --> 00:33:51.420
 oh

00:33:51.420 --> 00:33:51.860
 you're

00:33:51.860 --> 00:33:52.000
 a

00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:52.319
 Smith

00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.660
 when

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:54.839
 I

00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:55.140
 did

00:33:55.140 --> 00:33:55.299
 a

00:33:55.299 --> 00:33:55.539
 funeral

00:33:55.539 --> 00:33:55.759
 of

00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:55.880
 a

00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:56.120
 woman

00:33:56.120 --> 00:33:57.140
 and

00:33:57.140 --> 00:33:57.259
 this

00:33:57.259 --> 00:33:57.440
 was

00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:57.839
 this

00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:58.120
 so

00:33:58.120 --> 00:33:58.360
 I'm

00:33:58.360 --> 00:33:58.559
 from

00:33:58.559 --> 00:33:58.980
 Montreal

00:33:58.980 --> 00:34:00.240
 when

00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:00.360
 I

00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:00.559
 moved

 something

00:36:07.820 --> 00:36:08.140
 early

00:36:08.140 --> 00:36:08.500
 in my

00:36:08.500 --> 00:36:08.900
 marriage

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:09.099
 that

00:36:09.099 --> 00:36:09.320
 might

00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:09.660
 come

00:36:12.940 --> 00:36:13.079
 that

00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:13.260
 when

00:36:13.260 --> 00:36:13.440
 I

00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:13.940
 realize

00:36:13.940 --> 00:36:14.140
 that

00:36:14.140 --> 00:36:14.240
 it

00:36:14.240 --> 00:36:14.380
 will

00:36:14.380 --> 00:36:14.579
 mean

00:36:14.579 --> 00:36:14.760
 that

00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:15.039
 God

00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:15.220
 will

00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:16.119
 me

00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:16.440

00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:16.700
 he

00:36:16.700 --> 00:36:16.940
 knew

00:36:16.940 --> 00:36:17.160
 me

00:36:17.160 --> 00:36:17.340
 from

00:36:17.340 --> 00:36:17.539
 the

00:36:17.539 --> 00:36:18.140
 time

00:36:18.140 --> 00:36:18.280
 I

00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:18.420
 was

 my

00:36:18.720 --> 00:36:18.900
 womb

00:36:18.900 --> 00:36:19.320

00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:19.460
 he

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:19.680
 did

00:36:19.680 --> 00:36:20.280
 everything

00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:20.579
 to

00:36:21.659 --> 00:36:21.980
 nothing

00:36:21.980 --> 00:36:22.179
 that

00:36:22.179 --> 00:36:22.379
 might

00:36:22.379 --> 00:36:22.699
 happen

00:36:22.699 --> 00:36:22.879
 to
