00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.900
 Now let's read in 1st Samuel chapter 25.

00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:14.500
 Jeff will preach from this in just a moment but let me read 1st Samuel 25 for us.

00:00:15.419 --> 00:00:22.260
 Now Samuel died and all Israel assembled and mourned for him and they buried him at his home in Ramah.

00:00:22.260 --> 00:00:25.379
 Then David moved down into the desert of Paran.

00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:30.439
 A certain man in Mahon who had property there at Carmel was very wealthy.

00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.739
 He had a thousand goats and three thousand sheep which he was shearing in Carmel.

00:00:35.219 --> 00:00:38.259
 His name was Nabal and his wife's name was Abigail.

00:00:38.739 --> 00:00:44.179
 She was an intelligent and beautiful woman but her husband was surly and mean in his dealings.

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:45.359
 He was a Calebite.

00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:49.379
 While David was in the wilderness he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.879
 So he sent ten young men and said to them,

00:00:52.019 --> 00:00:55.120
 Go up to Nabal at Carmel and greet him in my name.

00:00:55.660 --> 00:01:00.700
 Say to him, Long life to you, good health to you and your household and good health to all that is yours.

00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:03.660
 Now I hear that it is sheep shearing time.

00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:06.579
 When your shepherds were with us we did not ill treat them.

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.600
 And the whole time they were at Carmel nothing of theirs was missing.

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:12.260
 Ask your own servants and they will tell you.

00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.359
 Therefore be favourable towards my men since we come at a festive time.

00:01:16.820 --> 00:01:20.219
 Please give your servants and your son David whatever you can find for them.

00:01:20.219 --> 00:01:24.200
 When David's men arrived they gave Nabal this message in David's name.

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:24.879
 Then they waited.

00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:27.400
 Nabal answered David's servants,

00:01:27.539 --> 00:01:28.539
 Who is this David?

00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:29.799
 Who is this son of Jesse?

00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:33.120
 Many servants are breaking away from their masters these days.

00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.420
 Why should I take my bread and water and the meat that I have slaughtered for my shearers

00:01:37.539 --> 00:01:39.719
 and give it to men coming from who knows where?

00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.420
 David's men turned round and went back.

00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:44.780
 When they arrived they reported every word.

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:45.859
 David said to his men,

00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:47.439
 Each of you strap on your sword.

00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:48.180
 So they did.

00:01:48.859 --> 00:01:50.260
 And David strapped his on as well.

00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:54.459
 About 400 men went up with David while 200 stayed with the supplies.

00:01:55.219 --> 00:01:58.060
 One of the servants told Abigail, Nabal's wife,

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.299
 David sent messengers from the wilderness to give our master his greetings but he hurled insults at them.

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.439
 These men were very good to us.

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:10.599
 They did not ill treat us and the whole time we were out in the fields near them nothing was missing.

00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:15.120
 Night and day they were a wall around us the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.

00:02:15.500 --> 00:02:20.840
 Now think it over and see what you can do because disaster is hanging over our master and his whole household.

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.259
 He is such a wicked man that no one can talk to him.

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:25.780
 Abigail acted quickly.

00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:31.319
 She took 200 loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five dressed sheep, five sears of roasted grain,

00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.019
 a hundred cakes of raisins and 200 cakes of pressed figs and loaded them on donkeys.

00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:37.719
 Then she told her servants,

00:02:37.900 --> 00:02:39.340
 Go on ahead, I'll follow you.

00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.659
 But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:44.879
 As she came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine,

00:02:45.359 --> 00:02:48.340
 there were David and his men descending towards her and she met them.

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:49.620
 David had just said,

00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.759
 It's been useless.

00:02:50.979 --> 00:02:54.900
 All my watching over this fellow's property in the wilderness so that nothing of his was missing.

00:02:55.299 --> 00:02:56.939
 He has paid me back evil for good.

00:02:56.939 --> 00:03:03.539
 May God deal with David, be it ever so severely if by morning I leave alive one male of all who belong to him.

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:10.139
 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and bowed down before David with her face to the ground.

00:03:10.659 --> 00:03:11.960
 She fell at his feet and said,

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.659
 Pardon your servant, my lord, and let me speak to you.

00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.520
 Hear what your servant has to say.

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.740
 Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal.

00:03:20.079 --> 00:03:21.159
 He is just like his name.

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.639
 His name means fool and folly goes with him.

00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.919
 And as for me, your servant, I did not see the men, my lord said.

00:03:27.219 --> 00:03:30.459
 And now, my lord, as surely as the lord your God lives and as you live,

00:03:31.079 --> 00:03:34.839
 since the lord has kept you from bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hands,

00:03:35.239 --> 00:03:38.899
 may your enemies and all who are intent on harming my lord be like Nabal.

00:03:39.339 --> 00:03:43.639
 And let this gift, which your servant has brought to my lord, be given to the men who follow you.

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.379
 Please forgive your servant's presumption.

00:03:46.379 --> 00:03:50.599
 The lord your God will certainly make a lasting dynasty for my lord,

00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:52.280
 because you fight the lord's battles,

00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:55.479
 and no wrongdoing will be found in you as long as you live.

00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.780
 Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life,

00:03:59.180 --> 00:04:03.539
 the life of my lord will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the lord your God.

00:04:04.079 --> 00:04:07.460
 By the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from the pocket of a sling.

00:04:08.139 --> 00:04:12.460
 When the lord has fulfilled for my lord every good thing he promised concerning him,

00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:14.800
 and has appointed him ruler over Israel,

00:04:15.340 --> 00:04:19.939
 my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed,

00:04:20.280 --> 00:04:21.939
 or of having avenged himself.

00:04:22.340 --> 00:04:24.500
 And when the lord your God has brought my lord success,

00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:26.400
 remember your servant.

00:04:27.379 --> 00:04:28.759
 David said to Abigail,

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.780
 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,

00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:33.819
 who has sent you today to meet me.

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:38.220
 May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed this day,

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.759
 and from avenging myself with my own hands.

00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.379
 Otherwise, as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel lives,

00:04:44.719 --> 00:04:46.339
 who has kept me from harming you,

00:04:46.719 --> 00:04:48.459
 if you had not come quickly to meet me,

00:04:48.779 --> 00:04:52.639
 not one male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by daybreak.

00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.360
 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought to him and said,

00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:57.459
 Go home in peace.

00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.740
 I have heard your words and granted your request.

00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:02.819
 When Abigail went to Nabal,

00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.279
 he was in the house holding a banquet like that of a king.

00:05:05.659 --> 00:05:07.439
 He was in high spirits and very drunk,

00:05:07.579 --> 00:05:09.599
 so she told him nothing at all until daybreak.

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.360
 Then, in the morning, when Nabal was sober,

00:05:12.820 --> 00:05:14.220
 his wife told him all these things,

00:05:14.580 --> 00:05:15.820
 and his heart failed him,

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:17.500
 and he became like a stone.

00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:19.160
 About ten days later,

00:05:19.780 --> 00:05:21.500
 the Lord struck Nabal and he died.

00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:23.740
 When David heard that Nabal was dead,

00:05:23.820 --> 00:05:24.040
 he said,

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.140
 Praise be to the Lord,

00:05:25.200 --> 00:05:28.379
 who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with contempt.

00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:30.700
 He has kept his servant from doing wrong

00:05:30.700 --> 00:05:33.180
 and has brought Nabal's wrongdoing down on his own head.

00:05:33.900 --> 00:05:35.400
 Then David sent word to Abigail,

00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:36.960
 asking her to become his wife.

00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.039
 His servants went to Carmel and said to Abigail,

00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:43.659
 David has sent us to you to take you to become his wife.

00:05:44.719 --> 00:05:46.799
 She bowed down with her face to the ground and said,

00:05:46.859 --> 00:05:48.819
 I am your servant and I'm ready to serve you

00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:50.680
 and wash the feet of my Lord's servants.

00:05:51.419 --> 00:05:53.339
 Abigail quickly got on a donkey and,

00:05:53.579 --> 00:05:55.259
 attended by her five female servants,

00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.719
 went with David's messengers and became his wife.

00:05:59.379 --> 00:06:01.579
 David had also married a Hinoam of Jezreel,

00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:02.859
 and they both were his wives.

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:04.359
 But Saul had given his daughter,

00:06:04.459 --> 00:06:05.519
 Michiel, David's wife,

00:06:06.019 --> 00:06:07.500
 to Paltiel, son of Laish,

00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:09.019
 who was from Galim.

00:06:10.359 --> 00:06:10.759
 Amen.

00:06:11.159 --> 00:06:11.979
 This is God's word.

00:06:12.039 --> 00:06:14.620
 Now it's a pleasure to hand over to Jeff now.

00:06:16.860 --> 00:06:19.180
 Former US President, JFK,

00:06:19.479 --> 00:06:21.579
 when he was on his election campaign

00:06:21.579 --> 00:06:23.639
 to be elected as President of the United States,

00:06:24.459 --> 00:06:25.620
 he met an elderly woman.

00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:26.680
 She said,

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:27.860
 you're one of the Kennedy brothers,

00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:28.360
 aren't you?

00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:31.060
 So both JFK and his brother, Robert,

00:06:31.500 --> 00:06:32.540
 were in politics,

00:06:32.819 --> 00:06:34.600
 and both looked remarkably similar.

00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:34.899
 He said,

00:06:34.939 --> 00:06:35.600
 yes, that's right,

00:06:35.699 --> 00:06:37.759
 I'm one of the Kennedy brothers.

00:06:38.100 --> 00:06:39.199
 And she said,

00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:40.379
 I just want to say,

00:06:40.459 --> 00:06:41.759
 I think you've done a terrific job

00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.079
 on the Senate Racket Committee.

00:06:44.340 --> 00:06:45.240
 And JFK said,

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:45.860
 no, sorry,

00:06:45.899 --> 00:06:46.560
 that was my brother.

00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:47.720
 And she says,

00:06:48.180 --> 00:06:48.639
 it is?

00:06:49.100 --> 00:06:49.420
 Well,

00:06:50.699 --> 00:06:52.519
 those seven beautiful children you have,

00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:53.579
 aren't they wonderful?

00:06:53.579 --> 00:06:55.779
 Well, JFK responded,

00:06:56.259 --> 00:06:56.859
 no,

00:06:56.939 --> 00:06:57.579
 that's my brother.

00:06:58.819 --> 00:06:59.459
 And she said,

00:06:59.719 --> 00:07:00.039
 oh, well,

00:07:00.099 --> 00:07:01.599
 just tell your brother all the best

00:07:01.599 --> 00:07:02.939
 in his bid to become the president.

00:07:03.300 --> 00:07:04.079
 JFK quickly said,

00:07:04.139 --> 00:07:04.219
 no,

00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:04.699
 that's me.

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.180
 Here is a case of mistaken identity.

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:10.620
 And it's that topic

00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:12.019
 that we'll be talking about

00:07:12.019 --> 00:07:14.039
 and discussing this morning

00:07:14.039 --> 00:07:15.879
 in the case of Nabal and David

00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.299
 in the passage that was read earlier.

00:07:19.159 --> 00:07:20.759
 When our identity is in Jesus,

00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.000
 everything has its perfect balance

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.420
 rightly in our lives.

00:07:24.939 --> 00:07:26.719
 But when our identity is not in Jesus,

00:07:26.860 --> 00:07:28.740
 it so often can have a damaging effect

00:07:28.740 --> 00:07:29.500
 on ourselves

00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:31.139
 and on those around us.

00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:32.279
 For example,

00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:33.219
 in our work life,

00:07:33.740 --> 00:07:36.560
 we get a promotion at work

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.060
 or we finish off a project

00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:39.360
 and our boss praises it,

00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:40.219
 thinks it's amazing.

00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:41.860
 It could have the tendency

00:07:41.860 --> 00:07:42.879
 to puff us up

00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.139
 and we can find our identity in it.

00:07:46.659 --> 00:07:47.680
 But then what happens

00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.259
 when we don't do so well at work,

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.379
 when our boss is on our case,

00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.480
 it can really crush us

00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:54.379
 and damage us.

00:07:55.300 --> 00:07:55.680
 However,

00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.680
 when our identity is in Jesus Christ,

00:07:57.860 --> 00:08:00.620
 everything has its rightful place.

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:03.840
 Finding our identity in Jesus

00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:04.980
 meets three key tests,

00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:06.699
 which I believe are key

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:08.879
 to finding out

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.540
 whether something is worth

00:08:10.540 --> 00:08:12.379
 having your identity in or not.

00:08:12.899 --> 00:08:13.800
 There's the firstly,

00:08:13.960 --> 00:08:14.860
 the joy test.

00:08:14.860 --> 00:08:16.400
 Is this thing or person

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:17.860
 going to give me deep and lasting joy?

00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:19.040
 The second test

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:20.319
 is the life ruling test.

00:08:20.620 --> 00:08:21.920
 Is this thing or person

00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.680
 worth centering my life upon?

00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:24.960
 And third of all,

00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:26.120
 the eternity test.

00:08:26.220 --> 00:08:27.360
 Is this thing or person

00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:28.439
 really worth staking

00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:30.180
 my eternal destiny upon?

00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:33.300
 Now, this is not just a message

00:08:33.300 --> 00:08:35.060
 for non-Christians

00:08:35.060 --> 00:08:36.159
 about how they need

00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:37.379
 to find their identity in Jesus.

00:08:38.019 --> 00:08:39.159
 This is a message

00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:40.340
 that says also

00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:41.580
 about how Christians

00:08:41.580 --> 00:08:42.920
 to have an identity,

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.740
 have a tendency

00:08:44.740 --> 00:08:45.899
 to find their identity

00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:47.599
 in things and in people

00:08:47.599 --> 00:08:49.500
 other than Jesus.

00:08:50.079 --> 00:08:51.159
 Very often,

00:08:51.579 --> 00:08:52.439
 we struggle

00:08:52.439 --> 00:08:53.740
 with a mistaken identity.

00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.059
 Our culture,

00:08:55.219 --> 00:08:55.879
 our society,

00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:56.679
 will say we need

00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:57.620
 X, Y and Z

00:08:57.620 --> 00:08:59.459
 to really truly be happy

00:08:59.459 --> 00:09:00.519
 in life.

00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:02.659
 So many things

00:09:02.659 --> 00:09:04.360
 are seeking our devotion

00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.740
 and seeking to pull us away

00:09:06.740 --> 00:09:08.259
 from Jesus.

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:10.959
 Christians are not exempt from it.

00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.420
 But let's go to the text

00:09:13.420 --> 00:09:14.440
 and really see these issues

00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:15.980
 of identity really begin

00:09:15.980 --> 00:09:17.560
 to play out in 1 Samuel.

00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:19.720
 We're introduced in verse 2

00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:20.759
 to a man named Nabal.

00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:21.860
 Now, Nabal,

00:09:22.300 --> 00:09:23.920
 if you're interested

00:09:23.920 --> 00:09:25.780
 in the meaning of names,

00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:26.860
 Nabal in Hebrew,

00:09:26.980 --> 00:09:27.940
 the original language,

00:09:28.300 --> 00:09:29.820
 actually means full

00:09:29.820 --> 00:09:31.019
 and we'll begin to see that

00:09:31.019 --> 00:09:31.940
 as time goes on.

00:09:32.300 --> 00:09:33.300
 He's very wealthy,

00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:33.960
 we're told,

00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.040
 and sheep and goats.

00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:36.220
 We're then introduced

00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:37.960
 to his wife, Abigail,

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.540
 who's beautiful and intelligent,

00:09:39.539 --> 00:09:40.919
 which is then immediately

00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:42.620
 contrasted to Nabal

00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:44.699
 who is harsh and evil

00:09:44.699 --> 00:09:45.659
 in all his dealings.

00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:48.199
 And then David

00:09:48.199 --> 00:09:49.339
 comes into the narrative.

00:09:51.419 --> 00:09:53.240
 So it says that David

00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:54.059
 heard that Nabal

00:09:54.059 --> 00:09:54.879
 was shearing sheep.

00:09:55.259 --> 00:09:56.259
 And so David

00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:57.360
 tells his men,

00:09:57.719 --> 00:09:58.839
 go and ask Nabal

00:09:58.839 --> 00:10:00.959
 for a share of his wealth.

00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.959
 And so at this point

00:10:03.959 --> 00:10:04.599
 you could be tempted,

00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:05.500
 what's David doing

00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:06.360
 just going up to

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:07.679
 a rich guy

00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:08.620
 and asking for his money?

00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:09.139
 I mean,

00:10:10.100 --> 00:10:11.279
 that seems a bit strange.

00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:13.000
 But it's not asking

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:13.779
 for a handout.

00:10:13.940 --> 00:10:14.600
 David's not asking

00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:15.179
 for a handout.

00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:16.039
 He's asking for his

00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:16.940
 rightful wage.

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:18.419
 We know this because

00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:21.580
 in verses 7, 15 and 16,

00:10:22.019 --> 00:10:23.000
 we read about how

00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:23.840
 David and his men

00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:25.460
 protected Nabal's men

00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:27.120
 and Nabal's animals

00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.080
 from harm,

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.159
 from theft.

00:10:30.779 --> 00:10:31.659
 And so we could argue

00:10:31.659 --> 00:10:32.659
 that even in part

00:10:32.659 --> 00:10:34.120
 some of Nabal's wealth

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:35.620
 is down to David's

00:10:35.620 --> 00:10:36.779
 and his men's diligence.

00:10:36.779 --> 00:10:39.620
 And so David's men

00:10:39.620 --> 00:10:40.659
 go and ask Nabal

00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:41.240
 for provision

00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.100
 and are flat out rejected.

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:43.639
 In fact,

00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:45.000
 worse yet,

00:10:45.459 --> 00:10:45.939
 Nabal says,

00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:46.939
 who is this David?

00:10:47.339 --> 00:10:48.319
 Who is Jesse's son?

00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:48.819
 I don't know

00:10:48.819 --> 00:10:49.939
 who you're talking about.

00:10:51.299 --> 00:10:52.019
 And then he goes

00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:53.100
 even further

00:10:53.100 --> 00:10:54.419
 and says,

00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:55.500
 in fact,

00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:56.220
 I don't even know

00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:57.339
 where you guys come from.

00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:58.379
 You might be from

00:10:58.379 --> 00:10:59.759
 a really dodgy place.

00:10:59.839 --> 00:11:00.240
 I'm not,

00:11:00.299 --> 00:11:01.559
 I'm not entertaining this.

00:11:01.659 --> 00:11:02.059
 Go home.

00:11:02.059 --> 00:11:04.759
 In verse 14,

00:11:05.219 --> 00:11:06.839
 we read the account

00:11:06.839 --> 00:11:08.439
 of one of Nabal's servants

00:11:08.439 --> 00:11:10.500
 who saw this going on.

00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:11.939
 And it says that he,

00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:13.859
 that Nabal railed

00:11:13.859 --> 00:11:14.619
 at David's men.

00:11:14.739 --> 00:11:16.939
 He shouted at David's men.

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.899
 He wanted to keep his hands

00:11:19.899 --> 00:11:21.179
 on David's rightful shares

00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:21.919
 so that his wealth

00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:22.879
 could go unaffected.

00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:25.279
 And we begin to see

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:26.199
 what's ruling

00:11:26.199 --> 00:11:27.899
 Nabal's heart at this point.

00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.279
 What he's really finding

00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:30.459
 his identity in.

00:11:30.460 --> 00:11:31.879
 though that case

00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:32.759
 is going to go stronger

00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:33.960
 as time goes on.

00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:35.600
 His identity

00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:36.660
 is based on his wealth.

00:11:36.820 --> 00:11:37.480
 And we see that

00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:38.480
 not only by how

00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.000
 he shamelessly denies

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.220
 David and his men

00:11:42.220 --> 00:11:43.259
 their rightful wage

00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:43.920
 so that he could

00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:45.000
 keep a hold of his money.

00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.740
 But also in his

00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:48.019
 love of money,

00:11:48.580 --> 00:11:49.720
 we also see

00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:50.900
 how his

00:11:50.900 --> 00:11:52.980
 love of money

00:11:52.980 --> 00:11:53.580
 had shaped

00:11:53.580 --> 00:11:54.720
 how his peers

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:55.180
 viewed him.

00:11:55.940 --> 00:11:57.700
 We see in verse 17

00:11:57.700 --> 00:11:58.320
 one of his

00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:59.900
 servants said,

00:11:59.899 --> 00:12:01.480
 Nabal's a worthless man.

00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:02.360
 Nobody can even

00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:03.120
 approach him.

00:12:04.319 --> 00:12:05.500
 And then in verse 25

00:12:05.500 --> 00:12:06.600
 his own wife Abigail

00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:07.579
 calls him a worthless

00:12:07.579 --> 00:12:08.179
 fellow.

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:10.360
 And his love of money

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.699
 as his wealth grew

00:12:12.699 --> 00:12:14.179
 so too did his ego.

00:12:15.439 --> 00:12:16.019
 And he thought

00:12:16.019 --> 00:12:17.340
 he was unstoppable.

00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:18.379
 He was untouchable.

00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:19.360
 He was the king

00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:20.519
 of his world.

00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:23.120
 Being so

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.059
 unapproachable,

00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:25.100
 unbearable

00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:25.840
 as he was,

00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.540
 it really poisoned

00:12:28.540 --> 00:12:29.980
 his relationships.

00:12:31.800 --> 00:12:33.220
 And he loved his money

00:12:33.220 --> 00:12:33.879
 so much

00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:34.740
 that it would mean

00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:35.320
 he would treat

00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:36.399
 his servants,

00:12:36.560 --> 00:12:37.000
 he would treat

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:37.740
 his own wife

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.840
 so poorly

00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:39.840
 that they would

00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:40.600
 consider him

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:41.320
 worthless.

00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:43.540
 Falling on from

00:12:43.540 --> 00:12:44.580
 the pleas of Abigail

00:12:44.580 --> 00:12:45.879
 and her giving generously

00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:46.740
 to David,

00:12:47.180 --> 00:12:47.840
 David agrees

00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:48.879
 to relent

00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.200
 from his attack.

00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:51.560
 Abigail then

00:12:51.560 --> 00:12:52.379
 goes to tell

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:53.100
 Nabal

00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:54.120
 what happened

00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.139
 only to find

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:55.560
 Nabal

00:12:55.560 --> 00:12:56.360
 drunk

00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:57.440
 in the middle

00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:58.279
 of a feast

00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:00.139
 like that

00:13:00.139 --> 00:13:00.700
 of a king.

00:13:00.940 --> 00:13:01.940
 Now in verse 36

00:13:01.940 --> 00:13:02.740
 there's that addition

00:13:02.740 --> 00:13:03.680
 a feast

00:13:03.680 --> 00:13:04.159
 like that

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:04.659
 of a king

00:13:04.659 --> 00:13:05.600
 and

00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:06.960
 that addition

00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:07.659
 is not

00:13:07.659 --> 00:13:08.840
 random

00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:09.960
 it's not to get

00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:10.840
 the author's

00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:11.659
 word count up

00:13:11.659 --> 00:13:12.899
 but this is actually

00:13:12.899 --> 00:13:13.620
 an insight

00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:14.540
 into what Nabal

00:13:14.540 --> 00:13:15.500
 thinks about himself.

00:13:15.779 --> 00:13:16.680
 He thinks himself

00:13:16.680 --> 00:13:17.379
 so great

00:13:17.379 --> 00:13:18.240
 he thinks his wealth

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:19.700
 so grand

00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:22.220
 that he considers

00:13:22.220 --> 00:13:23.240
 himself like

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:23.740
 a king.

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:27.639
 Once he sobered up

00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:28.960
 Abigail went

00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:29.660
 and told him

00:13:29.660 --> 00:13:30.519
 what had happened

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.800
 with David

00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:35.580
 and upon hearing

00:13:35.580 --> 00:13:36.340
 that part of his

00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:37.220
 wealth was taken

00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:37.560
 away

00:13:37.560 --> 00:13:39.620
 the ESV translation

00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:40.560
 puts it really strongly

00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:41.300
 his heart

00:13:41.300 --> 00:13:42.379
 within him died.

00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:43.899
 Such powerful

00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:44.480
 language

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.779
 his heart

00:13:45.779 --> 00:13:46.480
 within him died

00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.580
 and so we see

00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:50.240
 what his identity

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:51.139
 is wrapped up in

00:13:51.139 --> 00:13:51.840
 his wealth

00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.139
 and we see that

00:13:54.139 --> 00:13:55.120
 because of how he

00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:55.899
 responded to

00:13:55.899 --> 00:13:56.799
 and treated David's

00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:57.059
 men

00:13:57.059 --> 00:13:58.120
 how he treated

00:13:58.120 --> 00:13:59.100
 those around him

00:13:59.100 --> 00:14:00.220
 how those around him

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:01.319
 consequently viewed him

00:14:01.319 --> 00:14:02.720
 as a worthless fellow

00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:04.120
 and then

00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:05.519
 we see that

00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:05.879
 too

00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:06.600
 in his response

00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:07.220
 to part of that

00:14:07.220 --> 00:14:07.600
 wealth

00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.100
 being taken away

00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:09.919
 it literally

00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:10.919
 killed him

00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:15.500
 and that

00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:15.979
 is the power

00:14:15.979 --> 00:14:16.339
 of finding

00:14:16.339 --> 00:14:17.039
 your identity

00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:17.819
 in something

00:14:17.819 --> 00:14:19.059
 it becomes

00:14:19.059 --> 00:14:20.339
 your all

00:14:20.339 --> 00:14:20.839
 in all

00:14:20.839 --> 00:14:21.439
 it becomes

00:14:21.439 --> 00:14:21.979
 a dictator

00:14:21.979 --> 00:14:22.759
 over whether

00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:23.319
 we have

00:14:23.319 --> 00:14:24.019
 a good mood

00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:24.779
 or a bad mood

00:14:24.779 --> 00:14:25.279
 it becomes

00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:26.279
 all consuming

00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:26.860
 it becomes

00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:27.399
 the director

00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:27.819
 of our

00:14:27.819 --> 00:14:29.059
 eternal destiny

00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:30.659
 for Nabal

00:14:30.659 --> 00:14:31.259
 he was at his

00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:31.679
 happiest

00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:32.179
 when he was

00:14:32.179 --> 00:14:32.740
 having drunken

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:33.240
 feasts

00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:34.059
 enjoying

00:14:34.059 --> 00:14:35.779
 all his

00:14:35.779 --> 00:14:36.240
 wealth

00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:37.099
 and grandeur

00:14:37.100 --> 00:14:38.540
 but he

00:14:38.540 --> 00:14:39.379
 was at his

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:40.060
 very lowest

00:14:40.060 --> 00:14:41.040
 and we see

00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:41.519
 that in his

00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:41.840
 death

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:42.720
 at his very

00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:43.040
 lowest

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:43.600
 when part

00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:43.879
 of that

00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:44.159
 wealth

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:44.600
 was taken

00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:44.899
 away

00:14:44.899 --> 00:14:47.240
 we all

00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:47.639
 have

00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:48.259
 identity

00:14:48.259 --> 00:14:48.620
 battles

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:48.879
 in our

00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:49.120
 hearts

00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:49.759
 things that

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.019
 we

00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:50.879
 struggle

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:51.860
 with

00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:52.759
 things that

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:53.220
 we place

00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:53.840
 our hopes

00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:54.620
 our joys

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:54.879
 and our

00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:55.240
 plans

00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:55.440
 in

00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:56.700
 things that

00:14:56.700 --> 00:14:57.460
 dictate our

00:14:57.460 --> 00:14:57.680
 mood

00:14:57.680 --> 00:14:58.040
 and rule

00:14:58.040 --> 00:14:58.580
 our lives

00:14:58.580 --> 00:14:59.820
 now this

00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:00.279
 might look

00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:00.659
 differently

00:15:00.659 --> 00:15:01.680
 for each

00:15:01.680 --> 00:15:01.920
 and every

00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:02.519
 one of us

00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:03.740
 for you

00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:04.259
 it might be

00:15:04.259 --> 00:15:04.720
 power

00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:06.379
 you might

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:07.559
 have your

00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:08.000
 identity

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:08.580
 wrapped up

00:15:08.580 --> 00:15:09.299
 in being

00:15:09.299 --> 00:15:09.720
 honoured

00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:10.799
 being respected

00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:11.860
 being thought

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:12.500
 well of

00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:14.779
 maybe it's

00:15:14.779 --> 00:15:15.460
 like Nabal

00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:16.519
 you have

00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:17.059
 your identity

00:15:17.059 --> 00:15:17.519
 wrapped up

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:17.740
 in your

00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:18.059
 wealth

00:15:18.059 --> 00:15:18.519
 and

00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.159
 you know

00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:20.559
 you might

00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:21.100
 be having

00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:21.659
 feasts

00:15:21.659 --> 00:15:22.220
 fit for a

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:22.399
 king

00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:22.840
 while your

00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:23.059
 neighbour

00:15:23.059 --> 00:15:23.559
 next door

00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:23.840
 is going

00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:24.200
 down to

00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:24.600
 the local

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:25.179
 food bank

00:15:25.179 --> 00:15:27.279
 the problem

00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:27.620
 with these

00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:27.960
 things

00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:28.720
 is not

00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:29.019
 money

00:15:29.019 --> 00:15:30.279
 we need

00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:30.600
 money

00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:31.419
 to feed

00:15:31.419 --> 00:15:31.840
 ourselves

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:32.440
 to clothe

00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:32.860
 ourselves

00:15:32.860 --> 00:15:34.100
 to pay

00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:34.779
 our bills

00:15:34.779 --> 00:15:36.340
 the problem

00:15:36.340 --> 00:15:36.720
 is not

00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:37.540
 being respected

00:15:37.540 --> 00:15:37.980
 or being

00:15:37.980 --> 00:15:38.280
 honoured

00:15:38.280 --> 00:15:38.680
 the bible

00:15:38.680 --> 00:15:39.200
 actually has

00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:39.660
 quite a lot

00:15:39.660 --> 00:15:40.040
 of positive

00:15:40.040 --> 00:15:40.560
 things to

00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:41.360
 say about

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.080
 respecting

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:43.800
 and honouring

00:15:43.800 --> 00:15:44.800
 one another

00:15:44.800 --> 00:15:48.780
 and the

00:15:48.780 --> 00:15:49.660
 problem comes

00:15:49.660 --> 00:15:50.060
 in though

00:15:50.060 --> 00:15:50.639
 when these

00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:51.220
 things become

00:15:51.220 --> 00:15:51.700
 ultimate

00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:52.639
 in our lives

00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:53.540
 when our

00:15:53.540 --> 00:15:53.980
 lives are

00:15:53.980 --> 00:15:54.800
 ruled by

00:15:54.800 --> 00:15:55.220
 money

00:15:55.220 --> 00:15:55.940
 our lives

00:15:55.940 --> 00:15:56.360
 are ruled

00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:56.980
 by having

00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:57.399
 to be

00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:57.960
 respected

00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:58.600
 and honoured

00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:01.100
 as I said

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:01.360
 earlier

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:01.759
 this is as

00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:02.240
 much an

00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:02.600
 issue for

00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:03.019
 Christians

00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:03.560
 as it is

00:16:03.560 --> 00:16:04.400
 non-Christians

00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.620
 and we

00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:07.159
 see that

00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.500
 in David's

00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:09.000
 response

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:10.139
 so David's

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:10.539
 men come

00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:11.059
 back and

00:16:11.059 --> 00:16:11.959
 tell him

00:16:11.959 --> 00:16:12.679
 what's

00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:13.079
 happened

00:16:13.079 --> 00:16:13.740
 in the

00:16:13.740 --> 00:16:14.159
 encounter

00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:14.559
 with

00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:15.000
 Nabal

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:15.319
 that

00:16:15.319 --> 00:16:16.220
 Nabal

00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:16.659
 has

00:16:16.659 --> 00:16:17.240
 rejected

00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:17.459
 the

00:16:17.459 --> 00:16:17.919
 request

00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:18.360
 rejected

00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:18.759
 knowledge

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:19.159
 of him

00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:20.279
 insinuated

00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:20.600
 that they

00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:20.959
 were no

00:16:20.959 --> 00:16:21.360
 users

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:21.899
 from goodness

00:16:21.899 --> 00:16:22.240
 knows

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:22.559
 where

00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:23.699
 and David

00:16:23.699 --> 00:16:24.740
 is raging

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:25.059
 he's

00:16:25.059 --> 00:16:25.639
 fizzing

00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:26.579
 he

00:16:26.579 --> 00:16:28.579
 so much

00:16:28.579 --> 00:16:29.299
 so that

00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:29.740
 he goes

00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:30.759
 and gets

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.340
 his sword

00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:32.800
 and tells

00:16:32.800 --> 00:16:33.180
 his men

00:16:33.180 --> 00:16:33.759
 go and

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:33.860
 do

00:16:33.860 --> 00:16:34.259
 likewise

00:16:34.259 --> 00:16:35.440
 he wants

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:35.840
 to go

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.220
 and have

00:16:36.220 --> 00:16:36.480
 it out

00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:36.740
 with

00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:37.300
 Nabal

00:16:37.300 --> 00:16:37.680
 let's

00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:43.259
 we see

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:43.800
 that

00:16:43.800 --> 00:16:44.280
 David

 Nabal

00:16:47.019 --> 00:16:47.500

00:16:54.160 --> 00:16:55.019
 David

00:16:55.019 --> 00:16:55.259
 was

00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:55.639
 angry

00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:56.100
 because

00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:56.360
 he

00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:56.780
 thought

 he

00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:57.840
 deserved

 was

00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:01.000
 getting

 how

 many

 our

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:04.859
 we

00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:05.099
 don't

00:17:05.099 --> 00:17:05.420
 think

00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:05.579
 that

00:17:05.579 --> 00:17:05.740
 we're

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:06.099
 honoured

00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:09.539
 that

00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:09.720
 we

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:09.960
 think

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.119
 we

00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:10.420
 deserve

00:17:10.420 --> 00:17:10.759
 credit

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:11.099
 for

00:17:11.099 --> 00:17:12.619
 now

00:17:12.619 --> 00:17:13.140
 whilst

00:17:13.140 --> 00:17:13.460
 we

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:13.859
 may

00:17:13.859 --> 00:17:14.099
 not

00:17:14.099 --> 00:17:14.259
 go

00:17:14.259 --> 00:17:14.400
 to

00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:14.539
 our

00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:14.799
 bosses

00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:15.140
 with

00:17:15.140 --> 00:17:15.380
 a

00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:15.599
 sword

00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:15.740
 in

00:17:15.740 --> 00:17:15.920
 hand

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.099
 I'd

00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:16.359
 certainly

00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:16.660
 hope

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:16.940
 not

00:17:16.940 --> 00:17:18.299
 the

00:17:18.299 --> 00:17:20.460
 anger

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:21.140
 the rage

00:17:21.140 --> 00:17:21.619
 that builds

00:17:21.619 --> 00:17:21.859
 up

00:17:21.859 --> 00:17:22.220
 in our

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:22.539
 hearts

00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:22.759
 can

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.140
 sometimes

00:17:23.140 --> 00:17:23.400
 be

00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:23.779
 far

00:17:23.779 --> 00:17:24.160
 more

00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:25.140
 devastating

00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:27.700
 it

00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:28.000
 takes

00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:28.500
 Abigail

00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:29.000
 to

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:29.380
 bring him

00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:29.619
 a

00:17:29.619 --> 00:17:30.000
 generous

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.480
 portion

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:31.160
 also

00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:31.380
 a

00:17:31.380 --> 00:17:31.859
 humble

00:17:31.859 --> 00:17:32.660
 bowing

00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:32.980
 before

00:17:32.980 --> 00:17:33.240
 him

00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:33.920
 cry

00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:34.200
 for

00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:34.579
 mercy

00:17:34.579 --> 00:17:34.799
 in

00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:34.980
 order

00:17:34.980 --> 00:17:35.200
 for

00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:35.460
 David

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:35.819
 to

00:17:35.819 --> 00:17:36.240
 relent

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.420
 not

00:17:38.420 --> 00:17:38.759
 only

00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:39.140
 does

00:17:39.140 --> 00:17:39.460
 Abigail

00:17:39.460 --> 00:17:39.740
 do

00:17:39.740 --> 00:17:40.000
 this

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:40.180
 but

00:17:40.180 --> 00:17:40.380
 she

00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:40.819
 points

00:17:40.819 --> 00:17:41.259
 David

00:17:41.259 --> 00:17:41.799
 to

00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:41.960
 the

00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:42.319
 Lord

00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:42.980
 to

00:17:42.980 --> 00:17:43.420
 his

00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:44.240
 justice

00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:44.599
 and

00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:44.880
 his

00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:45.599
 judgment

00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:47.140
 reminding

00:17:47.140 --> 00:17:47.559
 David

00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:47.900
 that

00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:49.440
 this

00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:49.960
 is not

00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:50.640
 David's

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:51.119
 to

00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:51.640
 sort

00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:51.920
 out

00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:52.180
 this

00:17:52.180 --> 00:17:52.299
 is

00:17:52.299 --> 00:17:52.440
 not

00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:52.839
 David's

00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:53.160
 battle

00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:53.380
 to

00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:53.700
 fight

00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:55.259
 justice

00:17:55.259 --> 00:17:55.539
 and

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:55.880
 judgment

00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:56.680
 belong

00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:56.960
 to

00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:57.380
 God

00:17:57.380 --> 00:17:57.559
 who

00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:57.680
 will

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:57.920
 not

00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:58.119
 let

00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:58.299
 the

00:17:58.299 --> 00:17:58.559
 guilty

00:17:58.559 --> 00:17:58.920
 go

00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:00.200
 unpunished

00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.880
 so

00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:04.039
 what

00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:04.240
 then

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:04.380
 is

00:18:04.380 --> 00:18:04.500
 the

00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:04.799
 takeaway

00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:05.340
 from

00:18:05.340 --> 00:18:05.539
 all

 this

00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:06.640
 don't

00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:06.740
 be

00:18:06.740 --> 00:18:06.980
 like

00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:07.700
 Nabal

00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:08.380
 don't

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:08.500
 be

00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:08.799
 like

00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:10.000
 David

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:10.400
 be

00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:10.640
 like

00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:11.019
 Abigail

00:18:11.019 --> 00:18:11.960
 Abigail

00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:12.279
 was

00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:12.480
 good

00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:12.860
 Abigail

00:18:12.860 --> 00:18:13.559
 pointed

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:13.860
 her

00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:14.319
 neighbour

00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:14.539
 to

00:18:14.539 --> 00:18:14.660
 the

00:18:14.940 --> 00:18:15.420
 Abigail

00:18:15.420 --> 00:18:16.160
 was

00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:16.860
 generous

00:18:16.859 --> 00:18:18.819
 well

00:18:18.819 --> 00:18:18.839
 well

00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:19.299
 no

00:18:19.299 --> 00:18:19.539

 the

00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:21.899

 not

00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:22.659
 telling

00:18:22.659 --> 00:18:22.839
 us

00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:22.979
 a

00:18:23.219 --> 00:18:23.619
 story

00:18:23.619 --> 00:18:23.799
 of

 within

00:18:27.139 --> 00:18:27.699
 ourselves

00:18:27.699 --> 00:18:29.659
 now

00:18:29.659 --> 00:18:29.899
 my

 you

00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:05.319

00:22:18.060 --> 00:22:18.420
 world

00:22:18.420 --> 00:22:19.560
 he's

00:22:19.560 --> 00:22:20.140
 pointing

00:22:20.140 --> 00:22:20.800

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:24.320
 well

00:22:24.320 --> 00:22:24.519
 but

00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:24.680
 it's

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:24.840
 a

00:22:24.840 --> 00:22:25.120
 picture

00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:25.320
 of

 things

00:22:27.080 --> 00:22:27.860
 apart

00:22:27.860 --> 00:22:28.140
 from

00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:28.460
 Jesus

00:22:28.460 --> 00:22:29.180

00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:31.860
 satisfaction

00:22:31.860 --> 00:22:32.880
 we

00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:33.080
 also

00:22:33.080 --> 00:22:33.280
 have

 the

00:22:33.460 --> 00:22:34.080
 testimony

00:22:34.080 --> 00:22:34.320
 of

00:22:34.320 --> 00:22:34.420
 the

00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:34.680
 apostle

00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:35.100
 Paul

00:22:35.100 --> 00:22:35.280

00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:36.160
 3

00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:37.500
 recounting

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:37.720
 his

00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:38.160
 former

00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:38.720
 life

00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:41.759
 says

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:41.900
 that

00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:42.000
 he

00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:42.460
 counts

00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:42.680
 that

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:42.840
 as

00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:43.399
 worthless

00:22:43.399 --> 00:22:44.179
 compared

00:22:44.179 --> 00:22:44.740
 to

00:22:44.740 --> 00:22:45.099
 knowing

00:22:45.099 --> 00:22:45.539
 Jesus

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:46.059
 Christ

00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:48.439
 that

00:22:48.439 --> 00:22:48.679
 Paul

00:22:48.679 --> 00:22:48.879
 was

00:22:48.879 --> 00:22:49.220

00:22:51.659 --> 00:22:51.819
 in

00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:52.379
 and sustains

00:23:52.379 --> 00:23:52.939
 all things

00:23:52.939 --> 00:23:53.399
 who despite

00:23:53.399 --> 00:23:54.240
 being God

00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:56.099
 came down

00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:57.219
 to live

00:23:57.219 --> 00:23:57.980
 in time

00:23:57.980 --> 00:23:58.659
 and space

00:23:58.659 --> 00:24:00.019
 to live

00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:00.399
 the life

00:24:00.399 --> 00:24:00.699
 that we

00:24:00.699 --> 00:24:01.019
 should have

00:24:01.019 --> 00:24:01.439
 lived on

00:24:01.439 --> 00:24:02.079
 our behalf

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.139
 to endure

00:24:04.139 --> 00:24:04.919
 our shame

00:24:04.919 --> 00:24:05.679
 our suffering

00:24:05.679 --> 00:24:07.539
 that we

00:24:07.539 --> 00:24:08.000
 were due

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:08.500
 on the

00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:08.919
 cross

00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:11.600
 instead of

00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:12.039
 hearing the

00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:12.480
 praise of

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:13.019
 angels in

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:13.279
 heaven

00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:14.700
 he heard

00:24:14.700 --> 00:24:15.279
 the crowds

00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:15.680
 cry

00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:16.800
 crucify him

00:24:16.800 --> 00:24:19.200
 he received

00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:19.900
 beatings

00:24:19.900 --> 00:24:20.640
 mockings

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:21.620
 sneerings

00:24:21.620 --> 00:24:22.440
 he was spat

00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:23.360
 at for you

00:24:23.360 --> 00:24:23.900
 and for me

00:24:23.900 --> 00:24:26.300
 for the joy

00:24:26.300 --> 00:24:26.800
 that was set

00:24:26.800 --> 00:24:27.340
 before him

00:24:27.340 --> 00:24:27.960
 namely this

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:28.840
 joy of seeing

00:24:28.840 --> 00:24:29.580
 people like

00:24:29.580 --> 00:24:30.060
 you and me

00:24:30.060 --> 00:24:30.920
 reconciled

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:32.259
 to God

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:32.880
 our father

00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:33.480
 in heaven

00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:35.539
 he is the

00:24:35.539 --> 00:24:36.180
 only way

00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:36.740
 to God

00:24:36.740 --> 00:24:37.240
 and he is

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:37.920
 the only way

00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:39.300
 the only

00:24:39.300 --> 00:24:40.100
 person worthy

00:24:40.100 --> 00:24:40.560
 of our

00:24:40.560 --> 00:24:41.000
 worship

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:41.840
 and adoration

00:24:41.840 --> 00:24:43.420
 Jesus is

00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:43.800
 the only

00:24:43.800 --> 00:24:44.300
 master

00:24:44.300 --> 00:24:44.820
 to have

00:24:44.820 --> 00:24:45.039
 died

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.320
 for his

00:24:45.320 --> 00:24:45.759
 subjects

00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:47.039
 which leads

00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:47.360
 us on to

00:24:47.360 --> 00:24:47.680
 the third

00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:48.000
 problem

00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:48.360
 which is

00:24:48.360 --> 00:24:49.039
 the eternal

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:49.960
 problem

00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:50.620
 the eternal

00:24:50.620 --> 00:24:51.100
 test

00:24:51.100 --> 00:24:51.560
 is Jesus

00:24:51.560 --> 00:24:51.920
 worth

00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:52.779
 staking

00:24:52.779 --> 00:24:53.360
 my eternal

00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:53.920
 future on

00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:54.279
 well I've

00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:54.720
 just said

00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:55.000
 that

00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:55.960
 Jesus

00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:56.660
 is

00:24:56.660 --> 00:24:57.840
 the only

00:24:57.840 --> 00:24:58.019
 way

00:24:58.019 --> 00:24:58.360
 to God

00:24:58.360 --> 00:24:58.860
 the father

00:24:58.860 --> 00:25:00.980
 Mark

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:01.519
 chapter 8

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:02.380
 verse 36

00:25:02.380 --> 00:25:02.900
 he also

00:25:02.900 --> 00:25:03.240
 says

00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:03.759
 what will it

00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:04.420
 profit a man

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:04.880
 if he gains

00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:05.320
 the whole

00:25:05.320 --> 00:25:05.700
 world

00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:07.340
 but forfeits

00:25:07.339 --> 00:25:07.980
 his soul

00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:09.679
 now what

00:25:09.679 --> 00:25:10.240
 Jesus is

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:11.000
 saying here

00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:12.259
 is that you

00:25:12.259 --> 00:25:12.539
 could be

00:25:12.539 --> 00:25:13.459
 perfectly happy

00:25:16.639 --> 00:25:17.539
 car

00:25:17.539 --> 00:25:18.419
 the biggest

00:25:18.419 --> 00:25:18.959
 house

00:25:18.959 --> 00:25:21.039
 the biggest

00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:21.939
 salary

00:25:21.939 --> 00:25:22.779
 for your

00:25:22.779 --> 00:25:23.199
 job

00:25:23.199 --> 00:25:24.480
 but before

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:25.079
 almighty God

00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:25.519
 that's gonna

00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.000
 do you

00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:27.599
 no good

00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:30.579
 and so from

00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:31.059
 an eternal

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:31.599
 perspective

00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:32.480
 Jesus is the

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:32.939
 greatest

00:25:32.939 --> 00:25:33.980
 master

00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:35.920
 not just

00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:36.559
 in eternity

00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:37.460
 but right

00:25:37.460 --> 00:25:37.740
 now

00:25:37.740 --> 00:25:38.279
 right here

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:38.799
 right now

00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:40.299
 deep and

00:25:40.299 --> 00:25:41.079
 lasting joy

00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:42.059

00:25:42.059 --> 00:25:43.000
 revolving our

00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:43.839
 lives around

00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:45.740
 why can I say

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:46.120
 that with

00:25:46.120 --> 00:25:46.519
 certainty

00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:47.160
 well

00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:48.720
 because Jesus

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:50.440
 who being

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:51.799
 almighty God

00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:53.440

 find our

00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:56.519
 identity in

 that we

00:28:03.900 --> 00:28:04.259
 are too

00:28:04.259 --> 00:28:04.740

00:28:05.259 --> 00:28:05.660
 things

00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:06.180
 and to

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:06.420
 other

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:06.759
 people

00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:07.460
 to try

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:07.700
 and get

00:28:07.700 --> 00:28:07.840
 our

00:28:07.840 --> 00:28:08.340
 identity

 sex

00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:11.360
 power

00:28:11.360 --> 00:28:12.220
 respect

00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:13.200
 it can

00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:13.660
 be such

00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:14.140
 a temptation

00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:14.960
 for us

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:16.060
 forgive us

00:28:16.060 --> 00:28:16.560
 for this

00:28:16.560 --> 00:28:17.460
 thank you

00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:17.720
 that the

00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:18.279
 Christian faith

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:18.560
 is not

00:28:18.560 --> 00:28:18.980
 simply

00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:19.779
 self-denial

00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:20.700
 but rather

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:21.240
 in Jesus

00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:21.759
 we find

00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:22.080
 someone

00:28:22.080 --> 00:28:22.460
 who is

00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:22.860
 greater

00:28:22.860 --> 00:28:23.320
 than these

00:28:23.320 --> 00:28:23.580
 things

00:28:23.580 --> 00:28:24.180
 whose glory

00:28:24.180 --> 00:28:24.860
 surpasses

00:28:24.860 --> 00:28:25.259
 them all

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:26.259
 whose joy

00:28:26.259 --> 00:28:27.259
 and satisfaction

00:28:27.259 --> 00:28:28.519
 that he

00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:28.800
 gives

00:28:28.800 --> 00:28:29.259
 exceeds

00:28:29.259 --> 00:28:29.900
 these things

00:28:29.900 --> 00:28:30.880
 and therefore

00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:31.440
 in joy

00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:32.340
 we can forsake

00:28:32.340 --> 00:28:32.980
 our finding

00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:33.580
 our identity

00:28:33.580 --> 00:28:34.019
 in other

00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:34.400
 things

00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:35.279
 we can give

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:35.619
 up being

00:28:35.619 --> 00:28:36.000
 mastered

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:36.539
 by money

00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:37.240
 or ruled

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:37.940
 by lust

00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:39.420
 and joyfully

00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:40.299
 submit to the

00:28:40.299 --> 00:28:40.920
 lordship of

00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:41.700
 Jesus Christ

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:42.940
 in whose name

00:28:42.940 --> 00:28:43.420
 we pray

00:28:43.420 --> 00:28:44.039
 amen
