00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.500
 Let's read God's Word.

00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.780
 Reminds the people to be subject to rulers and authorities,

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:18.559
 to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,

00:00:19.219 --> 00:00:22.960
 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate,

00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:26.539
 and to show true humility towards all people.

00:00:26.539 --> 00:00:32.159
 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved

00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.879
 by all kinds of passions and pleasures.

00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:40.000
 We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.

00:00:40.939 --> 00:00:44.000
 But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared,

00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.519
 He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done,

00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:50.799
 but because of His mercy.

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.759
 He saved us through the washing of rebirth

00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.839
 and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.820
 whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Saviour,

00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:06.280
 so that, having been justified by His grace,

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.140
 we might become heirs, having the hope of eternal life.

00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.280
 This is a trustworthy saying.

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.939
 And I want to stress these things,

00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.840
 so that those who have trusted in God

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.760
 may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good.

00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.640
 These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.659
 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments

00:01:34.659 --> 00:01:36.640
 and quarrels about the law,

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:39.799
 because these are unprofitable and useless.

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.099
 Warn a divisive person once,

00:01:43.579 --> 00:01:45.519
 and then warn him a second time.

00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.599
 After that, have nothing to do with him.

00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:53.340
 You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful.

00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.539
 He is self-condemned.

00:01:56.939 --> 00:02:00.000
 As soon as I send Artemis and Tychicus to you,

00:02:00.099 --> 00:02:02.179
 do your best to come to me at Nicolopolis,

00:02:02.620 --> 00:02:04.700
 because I have decided to winter there.

00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:08.099
 Do everything you can to help Zenes, the lawyer,

00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:10.099
 and Apollos on their way,

00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:12.939
 and see that they have everything they need.

00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.340
 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good,

00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:20.879
 in order that they may provide for the daily necessities

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.520
 and not live unproductive lives.

00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:26.780
 Everyone with me sends you greetings.

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.000
 Greet those who love us in the faith.

00:02:31.099 --> 00:02:32.719
 Grace be with you all.

00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.960
 Peter,

00:02:35.460 --> 00:02:37.919
 to come up and

00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:42.819
 I'll pray for you.

00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:43.500
 Thanks, Johnny.

00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:44.659
 And I'll pray for us.

00:02:45.819 --> 00:02:48.180
 Just so everybody knows that

00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:49.360
 Peter and Maeve have been

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:50.960
 back from the US

00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:52.680
 for a couple of weeks

00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.060
 and returning

00:02:55.060 --> 00:02:59.180
 tomorrow week.

00:02:59.180 --> 00:02:59.960
 Tomorrow week.

00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:00.120
 Yeah.

00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:00.140
 Yeah.

00:03:01.340 --> 00:03:02.099
 So, yeah,

00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:05.379
 so we've enjoyed Peter preaching last weekend.

00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:08.120
 We're going to pray for him again as he speaks today.

00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:10.240
 So let's just pray for them.

00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.540
 Father, we thank you for your gifts to us

00:03:14.540 --> 00:03:16.240
 and we thank you for the way in which

00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.219
 your gifts come to us through people.

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.740
 And we thank you for Peter and for Maeve.

00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.360
 And we ask that you would continue to give them strength

00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.400
 physically and mentally

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.900
 for all that they are doing in their studies

00:03:31.900 --> 00:03:34.500
 and preparation for Maeve

00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:36.379
 and with her research.

00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:39.480
 Give to her all that she needs day by day.

00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:44.620
 We pray as well that you would give to them both the rest that they need

00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:48.200
 and that they would be refreshed

00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.339
 so that when they return back to the US

00:03:51.339 --> 00:03:53.239
 they would be ready

00:03:53.239 --> 00:03:55.199
 for a new term.

00:03:56.739 --> 00:03:58.399
 Father, we pray for them

00:03:58.399 --> 00:04:01.339
 and we pray that they would also have good times

00:04:01.339 --> 00:04:03.479
 with family while they are here

00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:04.719
 enjoyable times

00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.239
 an opportunity to catch with

00:04:07.239 --> 00:04:09.139
 catch up with all of their friends.

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.500
 We pray for Peter now

00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:15.000
 that he may know the power of your spirit

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.699
 working in him and through him

00:04:17.699 --> 00:04:21.500
 that we also may know your spirit

00:04:21.500 --> 00:04:22.620
 helping us to

00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:25.300
 not only understand your word

00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:26.620
 intellectually

00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:30.100
 but also that it would make its way

00:04:30.100 --> 00:04:31.959
 deep into our hearts

00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.180
 to change us and transform us

00:04:35.180 --> 00:04:37.839
 into the people that you call us to be

00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:42.279
 so that we make the teaching

00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.579
 about the Lord Jesus Christ

00:04:44.579 --> 00:04:46.199
 our Saviour attractive

00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.539
 to all around us.

00:04:49.599 --> 00:04:50.879
 So bless Peter now

00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:52.579
 and encourage us

00:04:52.579 --> 00:04:54.319
 through what we listen to

00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.919
 and we pray this in Jesus' name.

00:04:57.659 --> 00:04:57.939
 Amen.

00:04:58.620 --> 00:04:58.959
 Amen.

00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:00.680
 Thanks, Pastor Sammy.

00:05:05.979 --> 00:05:08.279
 Well, I'd like to just reiterate

00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.680
 how blessed we have been

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:12.199
 through your hospitality

00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.819
 and through your prayers

00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:15.079
 and through your support

00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:15.779
 at this time

00:05:15.779 --> 00:05:17.779
 and so when we go back to the States

00:05:17.779 --> 00:05:18.339
 we'll have

00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:20.120
 we'll have very fond memories

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:21.019
 of these few weeks

00:05:21.019 --> 00:05:21.719
 that we've had

00:05:21.719 --> 00:05:23.519
 back home

00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:24.459
 so thanks so much

00:05:24.459 --> 00:05:26.620
 for being that for us.

00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.199
 So we have been looking at Titus

00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.439
 for the last few weeks

00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.439
 it's only a short letter

00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:34.399
 when you look at it

00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.319
 in the red covered Bibles

00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:37.180
 it's very clear

00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:39.519
 it's only less than two pages long

00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.019
 so I'd encourage us

00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:42.819
 to be reading that

00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:43.959
 maybe especially

00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:45.219
 before Wednesday night

00:05:45.219 --> 00:05:46.060
 if you're going to come

00:05:46.060 --> 00:05:47.359
 to our Gospel communities

00:05:47.359 --> 00:05:49.599
 so we're going to review it

00:05:49.599 --> 00:05:50.279
 on Wednesday night

00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:50.959
 the whole letter

00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.639
 today we're going to look

00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:54.159
 in particular

00:05:54.159 --> 00:05:56.099
 verses 9 to 15

00:05:56.099 --> 00:05:57.259
 of chapter 3

00:05:57.259 --> 00:05:59.159
 for the sake of time

00:05:59.159 --> 00:06:01.000
 I guess we can't look

00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:01.779
 at the whole thing

00:06:01.779 --> 00:06:03.620
 and it's good

00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:04.079
 that we've read

00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:05.279
 the whole of chapter 3

00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:06.139
 because

00:06:06.139 --> 00:06:08.219
 it's important for us

00:06:08.219 --> 00:06:09.219
 not to forget

00:06:09.219 --> 00:06:10.519
 what we were saying

00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:11.199
 last week

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:12.000
 it's important for us

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:12.659
 not to forget

00:06:12.659 --> 00:06:14.079
 what God has saved us from

00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:15.799
 and what God has saved us to

00:06:15.799 --> 00:06:16.739
 and that being

00:06:16.739 --> 00:06:18.219
 at the very core

00:06:18.219 --> 00:06:18.899
 of our faith

00:06:18.899 --> 00:06:19.739
 at the very core

00:06:19.739 --> 00:06:20.899
 even of what we're going

00:06:20.899 --> 00:06:22.000
 to be looking at today

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:22.919
 as well

00:06:22.919 --> 00:06:25.119
 as has been mentioned

00:06:25.119 --> 00:06:26.179
 and as has been

00:06:26.179 --> 00:06:27.879
 drawn out very nicely

00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.399
 in our singing

00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:30.639
 we're looking at

00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:31.459
 pure fellowship

00:06:31.459 --> 00:06:33.159
 that's the theme

00:06:33.159 --> 00:06:33.979
 for this morning

00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:36.240
 one of the things

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:37.259
 that myself

00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:38.400
 may have been aware of

00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:39.120
 in the states

00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.400
 is just the importance

00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:41.300
 of a good diet

00:06:41.300 --> 00:06:44.240
 and just being able

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:45.000
 to eat well

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:45.819
 I don't know

00:06:45.819 --> 00:06:46.939
 whether I've achieved that

00:06:46.939 --> 00:06:47.840
 but I've certainly

00:06:47.840 --> 00:06:48.740
 been aware of it

00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:50.240
 in the states

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:50.819
 they're facing

00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:51.920
 what is an epidemic

00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:53.540
 anywhere between

00:06:53.540 --> 00:06:55.540
 100,000 and 400,000

00:06:55.540 --> 00:06:56.439
 people a year

00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.160
 die from obesity

00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:59.360
 related illnesses

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.200
 which is actually horrendous

00:07:01.200 --> 00:07:02.060
 when you think of it

00:07:02.060 --> 00:07:03.180
 that people

00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:04.240
 are struggling

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:05.560
 to eat healthily

00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.079
 and to live healthy lives

00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.220
 that's physically speaking

00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:10.360
 spiritually speaking

00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:10.980
 for us

00:07:10.980 --> 00:07:12.819
 we want to live healthy lives

00:07:12.819 --> 00:07:13.620
 we want to have

00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:15.300
 pure fellowship

00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:16.319
 healthy fellowship

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.100
 with each other

00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:19.100
 and from this passage

00:07:19.100 --> 00:07:19.819
 this morning

00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:20.460
 we're going to

00:07:20.460 --> 00:07:21.399
 tease out

00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:22.319
 just three things

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:23.259
 three key

00:07:23.259 --> 00:07:24.519
 ingredients

00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:25.800
 or three key things

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:27.340
 that we can feed

00:07:27.340 --> 00:07:28.399
 pure fellowship

00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:28.879
 with

00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.500
 so that our fellowship

00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:31.279
 can be healthy

00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:32.279
 and pure

00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.180
 the first thing

00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:35.420
 we want to look at

00:07:35.420 --> 00:07:37.000
 is that pure fellowship

00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.600
 is fed by pure divisions

00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:40.740
 which is quite an alarming

00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:41.439
 thing to say

00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.259
 but we'll consider that

00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:44.339
 a little bit more carefully

00:07:44.339 --> 00:07:45.500
 the second thing

00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:46.540
 is that pure fellowship

00:07:46.540 --> 00:07:48.519
 is fed by pure decisions

00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:49.899
 and the third thing

00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:50.600
 pure fellowship

00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.180
 is fed by pure devotions

00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:54.519
 I hope that alliteration

00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.859
 is not distracting

00:07:56.859 --> 00:07:58.180
 I think that's

00:07:58.180 --> 00:07:59.620
 very clear

00:07:59.620 --> 00:08:00.359
 from the passage

00:08:00.359 --> 00:08:01.899
 as we work through it

00:08:01.899 --> 00:08:03.180
 so firstly

00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:03.819
 pure fellowship

00:08:03.819 --> 00:08:05.180
 is fed by pure divisions

00:08:05.180 --> 00:08:06.719
 so Paul

00:08:06.719 --> 00:08:08.319
 in verses 9 and 10

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:09.240
 he's calling us

00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:10.299
 not only to

00:08:10.299 --> 00:08:12.479
 avoid foolish controversies

00:08:12.479 --> 00:08:13.139
 in other words

00:08:13.139 --> 00:08:14.159
 discussions

00:08:14.159 --> 00:08:14.939
 or arguments

00:08:14.939 --> 00:08:16.060
 about various things

00:08:16.060 --> 00:08:17.219
 but he's also

00:08:17.219 --> 00:08:17.979
 calling us

00:08:17.979 --> 00:08:18.659
 to avoid

00:08:18.659 --> 00:08:20.099
 foolish people

00:08:20.100 --> 00:08:22.220
 in verse 9

00:08:22.220 --> 00:08:22.660
 he says

00:08:22.660 --> 00:08:24.160
 avoid foolish controversies

00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:25.180
 and genealogies

00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:25.879
 and arguments

00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:26.720
 and quarrels

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:27.960
 about the law

00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:28.620
 now

00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:29.860
 these things

00:08:29.860 --> 00:08:30.520
 might be

00:08:30.520 --> 00:08:31.400
 a little bit tricky

00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:32.639
 for us to relate to

00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.259
 I can't remember

00:08:34.259 --> 00:08:34.800
 the last time

00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:36.120
 I had an argument

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:37.320
 about a genealogy

00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:38.259
 or a quarrel

00:08:38.259 --> 00:08:39.000
 about the law

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:40.800
 but it's important

00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:41.460
 for us to try

00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:42.159
 and understand

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:43.879
 clearly what Paul

00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:44.680
 is saying here

00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:46.220
 he's writing

00:08:46.220 --> 00:08:46.980
 to Titus

00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:48.460
 in particular

00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:50.360
 in Titus' role

00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:51.900
 as a leader

00:08:51.900 --> 00:08:52.560
 in the church

00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:53.740
 and what he has

00:08:53.740 --> 00:08:54.200
 in mind

00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:55.320
 are controversies

00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:56.400
 about the Old Testament

00:08:56.400 --> 00:08:57.139
 so Jewish

00:08:57.139 --> 00:08:58.460
 controversies

00:08:58.460 --> 00:08:59.300
 that were going on

00:08:59.300 --> 00:08:59.900
 at the time

00:08:59.900 --> 00:09:01.400
 if we look back

00:09:01.400 --> 00:09:03.200
 at chapter 1

00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:03.860
 in verse 10

00:09:03.860 --> 00:09:04.820
 just for a moment

00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:06.840
 where Paul writes

00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:07.440
 there are many

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:08.440
 rebellious people

00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:09.400
 mere talkers

00:09:09.400 --> 00:09:10.259
 and deceivers

00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:11.639
 especially those

00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.000
 of the circumcision group

00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.040
 they must be silenced

00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:15.660
 because they are

00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:17.560
 ruining whole households

00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:18.799
 by teaching things

00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.399
 they ought not to teach

00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.399
 those two verses

00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:23.419
 give us some idea

00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:24.739
 of the types of things

00:09:24.739 --> 00:09:25.719
 that were going on

00:09:25.719 --> 00:09:27.119
 at that time

00:09:27.119 --> 00:09:27.699
 that Paul

00:09:27.699 --> 00:09:28.879
 wants Titus

00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:29.679
 to avoid

00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.479
 even if we understand

00:09:32.479 --> 00:09:32.899
 that though

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:33.500
 it still takes

00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:34.279
 a little bit of work

00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:35.159
 for us to understand

00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:36.019
 what relevance

00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:36.659
 has this

00:09:36.659 --> 00:09:38.239
 for us today

00:09:38.239 --> 00:09:39.839
 2000 years later

00:09:39.839 --> 00:09:41.079
 so we may know

00:09:41.079 --> 00:09:41.699
 that it's

00:09:41.699 --> 00:09:42.519
 Jewish

00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:43.719
 Old Testament

00:09:43.719 --> 00:09:44.599
 controversies

00:09:44.599 --> 00:09:45.599
 about circumcision

00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:46.960
 or genealogies

00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.500
 but what relevance

00:09:48.500 --> 00:09:49.440
 is that for us

00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:50.600
 today

00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.680
 if we remember

00:09:52.680 --> 00:09:53.440
 last week

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:54.540
 in verse 3

00:09:54.540 --> 00:09:55.700
 we saw that we

00:09:55.700 --> 00:09:56.940
 too were foolish

00:09:56.940 --> 00:09:59.019
 and that is something

00:09:59.019 --> 00:10:00.240
 that God has saved us

00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:00.720
 from

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.120
 and so when we

00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.200
 consider here

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:04.159
 that Paul is saying

00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:05.139
 avoid foolish

00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:06.220
 controversies

00:10:06.220 --> 00:10:07.540
 there's a very clear

00:10:07.540 --> 00:10:08.700
 connection between

00:10:08.700 --> 00:10:10.040
 what we were

00:10:10.040 --> 00:10:11.259
 that we were foolish

00:10:11.259 --> 00:10:12.080
 and again

00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:13.019
 how we should live

00:10:13.019 --> 00:10:14.019
 and that we should

00:10:14.019 --> 00:10:15.659
 avoid foolish

00:10:15.659 --> 00:10:16.600
 controversies

00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:17.340
 and so

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:18.319
 as we mentioned

00:10:18.319 --> 00:10:19.059
 at the start

00:10:19.059 --> 00:10:20.620
 all that God

00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:21.240
 has done

00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.480
 is motivating

00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:24.079
 what Paul

00:10:24.079 --> 00:10:24.960
 is saying here

00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:25.600
 and should

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.179
 motivate us

00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:28.179
 accordingly

00:10:28.179 --> 00:10:30.240
 so Paul's

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:30.720
 principle

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:31.360
 basically

00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.360
 is that

00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:33.879
 rather than

00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:35.559
 being involved

00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:36.139
 in foolish

00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:36.960
 controversies

00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:37.480
 that we want

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:38.639
 to avoid

00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:39.879
 foolish controversies

00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.580
 he chooses

00:10:41.580 --> 00:10:42.139
 his words

00:10:42.139 --> 00:10:42.679
 carefully

00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:42.899
 though

00:10:42.899 --> 00:10:43.240
 because

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:44.059
 when you think

00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:44.840
 about Paul's

00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:45.220
 life

00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:47.019
 he was no stranger

00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:47.879
 to controversy

00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:48.460
 himself

00:10:48.460 --> 00:10:49.759
 when you think

00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.379
 about Jesus

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:52.320
 I would say

00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:53.279
 the most controversial

00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:54.500
 figure in all of history

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:55.620
 he divides history

00:10:55.620 --> 00:10:57.559
 he divides people

00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:58.240
 either

00:10:58.240 --> 00:10:59.439
 you accept Jesus

00:10:59.439 --> 00:11:00.559
 as Lord and Savior

00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:01.679
 and live accordingly

00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:02.159
 or you

00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.200
 refuse to accept that

00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:05.259
 and so Jesus

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:07.080
 is very controversial

00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:08.940
 so it's not

00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:09.680
 controversy

00:11:09.680 --> 00:11:10.600
 in general

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:11.820
 that Paul

00:11:11.820 --> 00:11:13.200
 is wanting

00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:14.120
 Titus to avoid

00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:14.920
 but it's foolish

00:11:14.920 --> 00:11:15.920
 controversies

00:11:15.920 --> 00:11:16.960
 it's the kind of

00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:17.720
 controversies

00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:18.720
 as he says

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:19.360
 in verse

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:20.280
 the end of verse

00:11:20.280 --> 00:11:20.879
 nine

00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:21.920
 controversies

00:11:21.920 --> 00:11:23.000
 that are unprofitable

00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.100
 controversies

00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:24.960
 that are useless

00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.240
 arguments

00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:27.379
 that create

00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:28.120
 more heat

00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:28.879
 than light

00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:29.520
 arguments

00:11:29.520 --> 00:11:30.120
 that

00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:31.540
 when we

00:11:31.540 --> 00:11:32.379
 look back

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:32.620
 on them

00:11:32.620 --> 00:11:33.360
 when we reflect

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:33.740
 on them

00:11:33.740 --> 00:11:34.700
 and we realise

00:11:34.700 --> 00:11:35.700
 that was really

00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:37.060
 not worthwhile

00:11:37.060 --> 00:11:38.020
 that was really

00:11:38.020 --> 00:11:39.160
 unfruitful

00:11:39.160 --> 00:11:40.420
 I really should have

00:11:40.420 --> 00:11:41.280
 avoided that

00:11:41.280 --> 00:11:42.820
 so those are the

00:11:42.820 --> 00:11:43.259
 kind of things

00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:44.000
 that Paul wants

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:44.500
 Titus

00:11:44.500 --> 00:11:45.340
 and us

00:11:45.340 --> 00:11:46.720
 to avoid

00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.020
 and as we consider

00:11:49.020 --> 00:11:49.600
 what that would

00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:50.600
 look like practically

00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.180
 if we were to avoid

00:11:52.180 --> 00:11:53.440
 foolish controversies

00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:54.500
 we realise

00:11:54.500 --> 00:11:55.460
 that most of our

00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:56.220
 controversies

00:11:56.220 --> 00:11:57.520
 are with other people

00:11:57.520 --> 00:11:58.980
 so although

00:11:58.980 --> 00:12:00.660
 you may be like me

00:12:00.660 --> 00:12:01.220
 where you have

00:12:01.220 --> 00:12:02.140
 these controversies

00:12:02.140 --> 00:12:02.879
 going on in your

00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:03.480
 own mind

00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:04.259
 or arguments

00:12:04.259 --> 00:12:05.080
 going on in your

00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:05.660
 own mind

00:12:05.659 --> 00:12:06.959
 the reality

00:12:06.959 --> 00:12:07.939
 is most of our

00:12:07.939 --> 00:12:08.600
 controversies

00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:09.299
 are with other

00:12:09.299 --> 00:12:09.740
 people

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:10.879
 and Paul picks

00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:11.500
 up on that

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:12.639
 so if you look

00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:13.419
 at verse 10

00:12:13.419 --> 00:12:14.480
 warn a divisive

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:14.980
 person

00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:16.139
 Paul says

00:12:16.139 --> 00:12:16.819
 once

00:12:16.819 --> 00:12:17.480
 and then warn

00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:18.039
 him a second

00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:18.559
 time

00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.919
 as we read

00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:21.659
 verse 10

00:12:21.659 --> 00:12:22.399
 and verse 11

00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:23.179
 it's important

00:12:23.179 --> 00:12:24.360
 to remember

00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:25.179
 that Paul

00:12:25.179 --> 00:12:25.819
 is speaking

00:12:25.819 --> 00:12:26.579
 particularly

00:12:26.579 --> 00:12:27.559
 to Titus

00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:28.839
 so there will

00:12:28.839 --> 00:12:29.480
 be a temptation

00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:30.339
 for us

00:12:30.339 --> 00:12:31.679
 to immediately

00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:32.639
 jump into

00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:34.220
 Titus' role

00:12:34.220 --> 00:12:34.579
 and say

00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:34.980
 oh well

00:12:34.980 --> 00:12:35.720
 if Paul

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:36.560
 tells Titus

00:12:36.560 --> 00:12:37.100
 to do this

00:12:37.100 --> 00:12:37.480
 then maybe

00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:37.879
 I should

00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:38.320
 go around

00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:39.080
 warning people

00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.320
 warning divisive

00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:41.660
 people

00:12:41.660 --> 00:12:42.560
 once or twice

00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:44.040
 but our

00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:44.740
 position in

00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:45.500
 relation to

00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:46.780
 this letter

00:12:46.780 --> 00:12:47.320
 that we are

00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:47.700
 hearing

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:48.620
 is more

00:12:48.620 --> 00:12:49.020
 as the

00:12:49.020 --> 00:12:49.759
 congregation

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.280
 more similar

00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:51.660
 to the

00:12:51.660 --> 00:12:52.240
 congregation

00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:53.060
 that Titus

00:12:53.060 --> 00:12:54.420
 cares for

00:12:54.420 --> 00:12:56.120
 and so Paul

00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:56.580
 is saying

00:12:56.580 --> 00:12:57.460
 that Titus

00:12:57.460 --> 00:12:57.820
 has a

00:12:57.820 --> 00:12:58.600
 God-given

00:12:58.600 --> 00:12:59.140
 authority

00:12:59.140 --> 00:12:59.720
 Paul has

00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.200
 left him

00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:00.460
 there

00:13:00.460 --> 00:13:01.540
 to appoint

00:13:01.540 --> 00:13:02.040
 elders

00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:02.759
 as we saw

00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:03.099
 back at

00:13:03.099 --> 00:13:03.480
 the start

00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:03.699
 of the

00:13:03.699 --> 00:13:03.939
 letter

00:13:03.939 --> 00:13:04.519
 he has

00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:04.899
 left him

00:13:04.899 --> 00:13:05.079
 there

00:13:05.079 --> 00:13:05.459
 to put

00:13:05.459 --> 00:13:05.959
 in order

00:13:05.959 --> 00:13:06.860
 what Paul

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:07.459
 has left

00:13:07.459 --> 00:13:08.099
 to be

00:13:08.099 --> 00:13:08.419
 done

00:13:08.419 --> 00:13:09.779
 and so

00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:10.199
 Titus

00:13:10.199 --> 00:13:10.519
 is an

00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:11.039
 authority

00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:12.259
 he has

00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:12.819
 to exercise

00:13:12.819 --> 00:13:13.579
 discipline

00:13:13.579 --> 00:13:15.279
 and the

00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:15.679
 minute I

00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:16.139
 say that

00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:16.399
 word

00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:16.740
 I know

00:13:16.740 --> 00:13:17.179
 some of

00:13:17.179 --> 00:13:17.399
 us

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:17.599
 are

00:13:17.599 --> 00:13:17.919
 thinking

00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:18.179
 that

00:13:18.179 --> 00:13:18.500
 sounds

00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:18.779
 very

00:13:18.779 --> 00:13:19.360
 harsh

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:20.159
 I mean

00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:20.779
 discipline

00:13:20.779 --> 00:13:21.659
 is that

00:13:21.659 --> 00:13:22.120
 that's a

00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:22.579
 fierce thing

00:13:22.579 --> 00:13:23.019
 to be doing

00:13:23.019 --> 00:13:23.500
 all together

00:13:23.500 --> 00:13:23.899
 in this

00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:24.519
 day and age

00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.679
 but I

00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:27.059
 think that's

00:13:27.059 --> 00:13:27.539
 unfair

00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:28.579
 it's unfair

00:13:28.579 --> 00:13:29.099
 to think

00:13:29.099 --> 00:13:30.120
 that discipline

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.199
 equates

00:13:31.199 --> 00:13:32.459
 with harshness

00:13:32.459 --> 00:13:32.980
 it's unfair

00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:33.319
 to think

00:13:33.319 --> 00:13:33.839
 that discipline

00:13:33.839 --> 00:13:34.279
 equates

00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:34.579
 with some

00:13:34.579 --> 00:13:34.899
 kind of

00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:36.000
 necessary

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:36.559
 evil

00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:37.299
 if you

00:13:37.299 --> 00:13:37.740
 look at

00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:38.199
 the way

00:13:38.199 --> 00:13:39.039
 this

00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:39.659
 discipline

00:13:39.659 --> 00:13:40.039
 is to

00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:41.299
 be exercised

00:13:41.299 --> 00:13:43.099
 look at

00:13:43.099 --> 00:13:43.839
 the patience

00:13:43.839 --> 00:13:45.319
 that's involved

00:13:45.319 --> 00:13:45.819
 in this

00:13:45.819 --> 00:13:46.279
 discipline

00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:46.839
 warn a

00:13:46.839 --> 00:13:47.319
 divisive

00:13:47.319 --> 00:13:47.759
 person

00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:48.199
 once

00:13:48.199 --> 00:13:49.179
 so something

00:13:49.179 --> 00:13:49.519
 has been

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.019
 going on

00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:50.519
 this person

00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:50.819
 has been

00:13:50.819 --> 00:13:51.219
 causing

00:13:51.219 --> 00:13:51.779
 division

00:13:51.779 --> 00:13:52.980
 so there's

00:13:52.980 --> 00:13:53.779
 one warning

00:13:53.779 --> 00:13:54.360
 a clear

00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:54.860
 warning

00:13:54.860 --> 00:13:55.919
 in order

00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:56.319
 for the

00:13:56.319 --> 00:13:57.039
 person to

00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:57.559
 turn away

00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:57.939
 from their

00:13:57.939 --> 00:13:58.459
 divisive

00:13:58.459 --> 00:13:58.919
 ways

00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:00.240
 the person

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:00.839
 continues

00:14:00.839 --> 00:14:01.740
 and Paul

00:14:01.740 --> 00:14:02.259
 says warn

00:14:02.259 --> 00:14:02.519
 them a

00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:03.219
 second time

00:14:03.219 --> 00:14:03.659
 so this

00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:04.059
 has been

00:14:04.059 --> 00:14:04.480
 going on

00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:04.879
 for some

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:05.539
 time now

00:14:05.539 --> 00:14:07.000
 and the

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:07.379
 person

00:14:07.379 --> 00:14:09.159
 is unwilling

00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:10.579
 to turn

00:14:10.579 --> 00:14:11.019
 away from

00:14:11.019 --> 00:14:11.699
 their divisive

00:14:11.699 --> 00:14:11.959
 ways

00:14:11.959 --> 00:14:12.319
 and it's

00:14:12.319 --> 00:14:12.860
 only then

00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:13.279
 it's only

00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:14.079
 after these

00:14:14.079 --> 00:14:14.579
 things

00:14:14.579 --> 00:14:15.419
 Paul says

00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:16.079
 at the

00:14:16.079 --> 00:14:16.360
 end of

00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:16.959
 verse 10

00:14:16.959 --> 00:14:17.659
 that you're

00:14:17.659 --> 00:14:18.000
 to have

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:18.719
 nothing more

00:14:18.719 --> 00:14:19.419
 to do

00:14:19.419 --> 00:14:19.839
 with them

00:14:19.839 --> 00:14:21.539
 we've seen

00:14:21.539 --> 00:14:21.939
 this kind

00:14:21.939 --> 00:14:22.419
 of attitude

00:14:22.419 --> 00:14:22.919
 already

00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:23.519
 we saw it

00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:23.980
 back in

00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:24.639
 chapter 1

00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:25.019
 where the

00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:26.240
 reason Paul

00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:27.220
 tells Titus

00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:27.879
 to rebuke

00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:28.539
 people is

00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:28.960
 so that

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:29.220
 they will

00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:29.779
 be sound

00:14:29.779 --> 00:14:30.159
 in the

00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:30.580
 faith

00:14:30.580 --> 00:14:31.460
 that is

00:14:31.460 --> 00:14:32.000
 Paul's

00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:32.500
 concern

00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:33.220
 it's

00:14:33.220 --> 00:14:33.700
 Titus'

00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:34.379
 concern

00:14:34.379 --> 00:14:35.320
 and it

00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:35.620
 should be

00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:35.940
 our

00:14:35.940 --> 00:14:36.500
 concern

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:38.419
 as we

00:14:38.419 --> 00:14:38.840
 consider

00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:39.159
 what

00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:40.259
 church

00:14:40.259 --> 00:14:40.799
 discipline

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:41.720
 and what

00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:42.560
 authority

00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:43.159
 should look

00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:43.460
 like

00:14:43.460 --> 00:14:44.460
 in the

00:14:44.460 --> 00:14:44.899
 church

00:14:44.899 --> 00:14:46.759
 so there's

00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:47.000
 great

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:47.659
 patience

00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:48.940
 involved

00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:49.460
 in this

00:14:49.460 --> 00:14:50.180
 but there's

00:14:50.180 --> 00:14:50.659
 also a

00:14:50.659 --> 00:14:51.360
 realisation

00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:51.840
 that this

00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:52.519
 is serious

00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:53.100
 stuff

00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:54.420
 as we

00:14:54.420 --> 00:14:54.860
 read in

00:14:54.860 --> 00:14:55.519
 chapter 1

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:56.820
 the people

00:14:56.820 --> 00:14:57.120
 of the

00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:57.800
 circumcision

00:14:57.800 --> 00:14:58.159
 group

00:14:58.159 --> 00:14:58.860
 are upsetting

00:14:58.860 --> 00:14:59.759
 households

00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:01.560
 these divisive

00:15:01.560 --> 00:15:02.100
 people

00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:02.759
 by their

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:03.379
 very nature

00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:03.920
 divide

00:15:03.920 --> 00:15:04.659
 people

00:15:04.659 --> 00:15:05.360
 so it's

00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:05.720
 not just

00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:06.460
 some abstract

00:15:06.460 --> 00:15:07.060
 thing that's

00:15:07.060 --> 00:15:07.639
 going on

00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:08.399
 over here

00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:09.220
 it's actually

00:15:09.220 --> 00:15:09.820
 causing

00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:10.560
 upset in

00:15:10.560 --> 00:15:11.100
 the church

00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:11.420
 in the

00:15:11.420 --> 00:15:11.879
 body of

00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:12.320
 Christ

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.480
 and so

00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:13.920
 when we

00:15:13.920 --> 00:15:14.820
 are tempted

00:15:14.820 --> 00:15:15.360
 to think

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.139
 that discipline

00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:17.920
 is somehow

00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:18.660
 bad or

00:15:18.660 --> 00:15:19.120
 somehow

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:20.279
 very mean

00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:20.980
 or nasty

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:21.680
 of Titus

00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:22.000
 to be

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:22.299
 doing

00:15:22.299 --> 00:15:23.079
 we must

00:15:23.079 --> 00:15:23.579
 realise

00:15:23.579 --> 00:15:24.139
 that this

00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:24.839
 is serious

00:15:24.839 --> 00:15:25.379
 stuff

00:15:25.379 --> 00:15:26.059
 and if

00:15:26.059 --> 00:15:26.539
 it goes

00:15:26.539 --> 00:15:27.359
 unchecked

00:15:27.359 --> 00:15:28.159
 the division

00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:28.759
 will only

00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:29.359
 spread

00:15:29.359 --> 00:15:31.439
 now there's

00:15:31.439 --> 00:15:32.159
 no doubt

00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:34.039
 for Titus

00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:34.479
 it would be

00:15:34.479 --> 00:15:35.079
 an unpleasant

00:15:35.079 --> 00:15:35.959
 thing to do

00:15:35.959 --> 00:15:36.539
 to go to

00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:37.179
 these people

00:15:37.179 --> 00:15:37.879
 and to warn

00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:38.159
 them

00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:39.199
 but Paul

00:15:39.199 --> 00:15:40.059
 reassures him

00:15:40.059 --> 00:15:40.500
 with these

00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:41.199
 words in

00:15:41.199 --> 00:15:42.000
 verse 11

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:42.939
 you may be

00:15:42.939 --> 00:15:44.079
 sure Titus

00:15:44.079 --> 00:15:45.000
 he said

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:45.519
 that such

00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:45.859
 a man

00:15:45.859 --> 00:15:46.559
 is warped

00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:47.240
 and sinful

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:48.719
 that such

00:15:48.719 --> 00:15:49.019
 a man

00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:49.539
 is self

00:15:49.539 --> 00:15:50.179
 condemned

00:15:50.179 --> 00:15:51.739
 which is

00:15:51.739 --> 00:15:52.319
 serious

00:15:52.319 --> 00:15:52.739
 serious

00:15:52.739 --> 00:15:53.359
 language

00:15:53.359 --> 00:15:54.120
 from Paul

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.219
 but that's

00:15:56.219 --> 00:15:56.579
 how he

00:15:56.579 --> 00:15:58.199
 affirms

00:15:58.199 --> 00:15:58.759
 Titus

00:15:58.759 --> 00:15:59.199
 in his

00:15:59.199 --> 00:15:59.679
 role

00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:00.439
 there's a

00:16:00.439 --> 00:16:00.699
 sense

00:16:00.699 --> 00:16:01.039
 in which

00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:01.819
 as Titus

00:16:01.819 --> 00:16:02.579
 exercises

00:16:02.579 --> 00:16:02.959
 this

00:16:02.959 --> 00:16:03.579
 authority

00:16:03.579 --> 00:16:04.439
 there's

00:16:04.439 --> 00:16:04.719
 something

00:16:04.719 --> 00:16:05.199
 greater

00:16:05.199 --> 00:16:05.899
 going on

00:16:05.899 --> 00:16:06.219
 here

00:16:06.219 --> 00:16:07.219
 because

00:16:07.219 --> 00:16:07.799
 the person

00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:08.559
 who continues

00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:09.019
 in their

00:16:09.019 --> 00:16:09.620
 divisive

00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:10.039
 ways

00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:11.199
 is identifying

00:16:11.199 --> 00:16:12.000
 themselves

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.059
 they're

00:16:13.059 --> 00:16:13.559
 identifying

00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:14.179
 themselves

00:16:14.179 --> 00:16:15.039
 as a

00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:15.759
 verse 3

00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:16.899
 and verse 4

00:16:16.899 --> 00:16:17.600
 person

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:18.620
 someone who

00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:19.240
 is still

00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:20.360
 disobedient

00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:20.860
 someone who

00:16:20.860 --> 00:16:21.379
 is still

00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:22.259
 foolish

00:16:22.259 --> 00:16:24.840
 and so

00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:25.179
 when we

00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:25.620
 think about

00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:26.360
 this discipline

00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:26.899
 that's being

00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:27.720
 exercised

00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:28.319
 we realise

00:16:28.319 --> 00:16:28.860
 there's great

00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:29.819
 patience here

00:16:29.819 --> 00:16:30.919
 and there's

00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:31.559
 serious

00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:32.939
 stuff going

00:16:32.939 --> 00:16:33.879
 on in the

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:34.399
 church for

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:35.059
 this to be

00:16:35.059 --> 00:16:35.720
 happening

00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.580
 and we realise

00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:38.600
 that it's out

00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:39.139
 of care

00:16:39.139 --> 00:16:39.620
 it's out

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:40.080
 of love

00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:40.460
 it's out

00:16:40.460 --> 00:16:41.480
 of a desire

00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:41.960
 for the

00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:42.299
 church

00:16:42.299 --> 00:16:43.240
 not to be

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:44.299
 more divided

00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:46.259
 and in

00:16:46.259 --> 00:16:46.899
 some sense

00:16:46.899 --> 00:16:47.279
 it's the

00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:47.899
 person who

00:16:47.899 --> 00:16:48.559
 is dividing

00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:48.899
 things

00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:49.599
 bringing it

00:16:49.599 --> 00:16:50.659
 on themselves

00:16:50.659 --> 00:16:51.439
 as they

00:16:51.439 --> 00:16:51.899
 continue

00:16:51.899 --> 00:16:52.399
 in this

00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:52.740
 way

00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:55.259
 maybe a

00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:55.599
 way to

00:16:55.599 --> 00:16:56.039
 illustrate

00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:56.599
 this

00:16:56.599 --> 00:16:57.779
 would be

00:16:57.779 --> 00:16:58.259
 to consider

00:16:58.259 --> 00:16:59.000
 these nice

00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.599
 room dividers

00:17:00.599 --> 00:17:01.679
 beside us

00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:02.159
 here which

00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:02.759
 serve a

00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:03.419
 very helpful

00:17:03.419 --> 00:17:04.019
 purpose

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:05.079
 for us

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:05.599
 in this

00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:06.460
 hall as

00:17:06.460 --> 00:17:06.879
 we meet

00:17:06.879 --> 00:17:07.180
 on a

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:07.460
 Sunday

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:07.919
 morning

00:17:07.919 --> 00:17:08.259
 they

00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:09.480
 create

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:10.339
 an area

00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:10.779
 for which

00:17:10.779 --> 00:17:11.119
 we can

00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:11.399
 meet

00:17:11.399 --> 00:17:11.759
 so it

00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:11.980
 doesn't

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:12.399
 feel too

00:17:12.399 --> 00:17:12.720
 big

00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:13.940
 or too

00:17:13.940 --> 00:17:15.320
 un-intimate

00:17:15.320 --> 00:17:15.920
 or whatever

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.680
 the proper

00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:17.220
 word is

00:17:17.220 --> 00:17:17.519
 there

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.900
 so these

00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:19.539
 room dividers

00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:20.100
 are good

00:17:20.100 --> 00:17:20.920
 I want to

00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:21.279
 say that

00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:21.779
 clearly

00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:22.779
 what Paul

00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:23.440
 is saying

00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:24.700
 is that

00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:25.400
 division in

00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:25.840
 the church

00:17:25.840 --> 00:17:26.660
 is bad

00:17:26.660 --> 00:17:28.100
 and so

00:17:28.100 --> 00:17:28.559
 if we

00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:29.000
 consider

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.240
 these room

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:30.820
 dividers

00:17:30.820 --> 00:17:31.580
 if they

00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:32.180
 will fold

00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:32.720
 away as

00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:33.200
 they do

00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:34.019
 then we

00:17:34.019 --> 00:17:35.320
 can remove

00:17:35.320 --> 00:17:36.019
 the division

00:17:36.019 --> 00:17:36.740
 by folding

00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:37.059
 them

00:17:37.059 --> 00:17:39.759
 to put

00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:40.019
 in the

00:17:40.019 --> 00:17:40.420
 parallel

00:17:40.420 --> 00:17:41.259
 from this

00:17:41.259 --> 00:17:41.700
 passage

00:17:41.700 --> 00:17:42.019
 that we

00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:42.400
 are looking

00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:42.660
 at

00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:43.720
 if this

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:44.320
 person

00:17:44.320 --> 00:17:44.740
 if this

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:45.340
 divider

00:17:45.340 --> 00:17:45.720
 of the

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:46.000
 church

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:46.380
 will be

00:17:46.380 --> 00:17:46.940
 warned

00:17:46.940 --> 00:17:47.779
 if they

00:17:47.779 --> 00:17:48.279
 will heed

00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:48.860
 a warning

00:17:48.860 --> 00:17:50.460
 then we

00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:50.759
 can get

00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:51.080
 rid of

00:17:51.080 --> 00:17:51.580
 the division

00:17:51.580 --> 00:17:52.740
 but if

00:17:52.740 --> 00:17:53.380
 for some

00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:53.680
 reason

00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:54.060
 these

00:17:54.060 --> 00:17:54.460
 room

00:17:54.460 --> 00:17:55.000
 dividers

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:55.700
 rust up

00:17:55.700 --> 00:17:56.620
 if they

00:17:56.620 --> 00:17:57.259
 just simply

00:17:57.259 --> 00:17:57.720
 will not

00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:58.100
 fold

00:17:58.100 --> 00:17:58.460
 if they

00:17:58.460 --> 00:17:58.779
 simply

00:17:58.779 --> 00:17:59.160
 will not

00:17:59.160 --> 00:17:59.700
 be warned

00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:00.340
 the only

00:18:00.340 --> 00:18:00.779
 way

00:18:00.779 --> 00:18:01.480
 to get

00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:01.779
 rid of

00:18:01.779 --> 00:18:02.300
 the division

00:18:02.300 --> 00:18:03.160
 is to

00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:03.540
 get rid

00:18:03.540 --> 00:18:03.960
 of the

00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:04.540
 divider

00:18:04.540 --> 00:18:06.259
 and so

00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:06.600
 that is

00:18:06.600 --> 00:18:07.180
 what Paul

00:18:07.180 --> 00:18:08.080
 instructs

00:18:08.080 --> 00:18:08.480
 Titus

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:08.960
 to do

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:09.980
 if this

00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:10.380
 person

00:18:10.380 --> 00:18:11.000
 continues

00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:11.360
 if they

00:18:11.360 --> 00:18:11.759
 will not

00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:12.120
 fold

00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:12.459
 if they

00:18:12.459 --> 00:18:12.819
 will not

00:18:12.819 --> 00:18:13.459
 be warned

00:18:13.459 --> 00:18:14.219
 then have

00:18:14.219 --> 00:18:14.519
 nothing

00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:15.000
 more to

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:15.299
 do with

00:18:15.299 --> 00:18:15.500
 them

00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:16.199
 in other

00:18:16.199 --> 00:18:16.419
 words

00:18:16.419 --> 00:18:16.699
 if you

00:18:16.699 --> 00:18:17.000
 want to

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:17.319
 get rid

00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:17.559
 of the

00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:17.939
 division

00:18:17.939 --> 00:18:18.879
 if you

00:18:18.879 --> 00:18:19.659
 want pure

00:18:19.659 --> 00:18:20.319
 fellowship

00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:21.539
 you have

00:18:21.539 --> 00:18:22.019
 to get rid

00:18:22.019 --> 00:18:22.339
 of the

00:18:22.339 --> 00:18:22.899
 divider

00:18:22.899 --> 00:18:25.459
 now here's

00:18:25.459 --> 00:18:25.979
 the thing

00:18:25.979 --> 00:18:27.119
 if you

00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:27.759
 listen very

00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:28.399
 closely

00:18:28.399 --> 00:18:29.439
 I'm going

00:18:29.439 --> 00:18:29.739
 to let

00:18:29.739 --> 00:18:30.000
 you in

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:30.259
 on a

00:18:30.259 --> 00:18:30.599
 secret

00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:32.539
 we all

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:33.119
 love

00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:34.119
 a good

00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:35.000
 argument

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.619
 isn't

00:18:36.619 --> 00:18:37.199
 that true

00:18:37.199 --> 00:18:38.779
 you're

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:39.219
 down in

00:18:39.219 --> 00:18:39.500
 Barry

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:39.939
 Collins

00:18:39.939 --> 00:18:40.699
 you're

00:18:40.699 --> 00:18:41.079
 browsing

00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:41.519
 through the

00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:41.959
 potatoes

00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:43.680
 the next

00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:44.019
 thing you

00:18:44.019 --> 00:18:44.299
 hear

00:18:44.299 --> 00:18:44.860
 are voices

00:18:44.860 --> 00:18:45.380
 raised

00:18:45.380 --> 00:18:45.759
 down at

00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:46.059
 the other

00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:46.380
 end of

00:18:46.380 --> 00:18:46.819
 the potato

00:18:46.819 --> 00:18:47.299
 section

00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:48.720
 and you

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:49.259
 suddenly start

00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:49.960
 taking a great

00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:50.539
 interest in

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:50.860
 what you're

00:18:50.860 --> 00:18:51.340
 looking at

00:18:51.340 --> 00:18:52.039
 and you linger

00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.019
 around this

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:53.920
 particular area

00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:54.440
 for some

00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:54.840
 reason

00:18:54.840 --> 00:18:56.500
 and as the

00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:57.160
 argument goes

00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:57.779
 on you're

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:58.740
 thinking this

00:18:58.740 --> 00:18:59.120
 is getting

00:18:59.120 --> 00:18:59.900
 really juicy

00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:00.420
 and you're

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:01.200
 really enjoying

00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:01.539
 it

00:19:01.539 --> 00:19:02.500
 it happens

00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:03.079
 on Facebook

00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:03.700
 as well

00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:05.640
 I think the

00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:06.340
 reality is

00:19:06.340 --> 00:19:07.519
 even if we

00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:08.039
 might not love

00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:08.920
 being in an

00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:09.500
 argument we

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:10.220
 certainly love

00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:10.880
 hearing good

00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:11.400
 arguments

00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:12.220
 and not

00:19:12.220 --> 00:19:12.660
 only that

00:19:12.660 --> 00:19:12.980
 but we

00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:13.259
 live in

00:19:13.259 --> 00:19:13.660
 an age

00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:14.040
 when there's

00:19:14.040 --> 00:19:14.519
 plenty of

00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:15.220
 opportunities

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:15.960
 to argue

00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:17.100
 I'm sure

00:19:17.100 --> 00:19:17.800
 you've seen

00:19:17.800 --> 00:19:18.259
 yourselves

00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:18.680
 if you're

00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:19.320
 on Facebook

00:19:19.320 --> 00:19:20.440
 or any of

00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:21.380
 those internet

00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:22.320
 thingies

00:19:22.320 --> 00:19:23.460
 I'm sure

00:19:23.460 --> 00:19:23.820
 you've seen

00:19:23.820 --> 00:19:24.240
 yourself

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:25.120
 that the

00:19:25.120 --> 00:19:25.820
 most innocent

00:19:25.820 --> 00:19:27.220
 comment can

00:19:27.220 --> 00:19:28.060
 lead to a

00:19:28.060 --> 00:19:28.740
 most heated

00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:29.220
 debate

00:19:29.220 --> 00:19:30.980
 a most vehement

00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:31.720
 argument where

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.320
 people are getting

00:19:32.320 --> 00:19:33.180
 worked up for

00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:34.259
 apparently no

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:34.800
 reason

00:19:34.800 --> 00:19:36.820
 and so we

00:19:36.820 --> 00:19:37.380
 like a good

00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:37.880
 argument

00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:39.400
 wrongly I think

00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:39.780
 of us

00:19:39.780 --> 00:19:40.400
 and we live

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:40.820
 in a time

00:19:40.820 --> 00:19:41.160
 when there's

00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:41.600
 plenty of

00:19:41.600 --> 00:19:42.000
 arguments

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:42.620
 to be had

00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:43.720
 which is a

00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:45.019
 potent combination

00:19:45.019 --> 00:19:48.040
 and so as we

00:19:48.040 --> 00:19:49.019
 consider Paul's

00:19:49.019 --> 00:19:49.900
 instructions to

00:19:49.900 --> 00:19:50.840
 Titus it's

00:19:50.840 --> 00:19:51.480
 quite relevant

00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:52.080
 for us

00:19:52.080 --> 00:19:53.360
 to be

00:19:53.360 --> 00:19:55.519
 listening to

00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:55.960
 what he is

00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:56.860
 saying because

00:19:56.860 --> 00:19:57.759
 of the times

00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:58.500
 we live in

00:19:58.500 --> 00:20:00.220
 and then the

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:00.800
 flip side

00:20:00.800 --> 00:20:01.560
 as we've

00:20:01.560 --> 00:20:02.440
 noticed is

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:04.340
 that divisive

00:20:04.340 --> 00:20:04.980
 arguments

00:20:04.980 --> 00:20:06.460
 are not

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:07.039
 very far

00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:07.660
 removed from

00:20:07.660 --> 00:20:08.220
 divisive

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:08.720
 people

00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:10.940
 now as we've

00:20:10.940 --> 00:20:11.660
 alluded to the

00:20:11.660 --> 00:20:12.539
 question for us

00:20:12.539 --> 00:20:13.420
 here is not so

00:20:13.420 --> 00:20:14.920
 much who can I

00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:15.480
 go around

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:16.799
 warning about

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:17.579
 their divisive

00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:18.279
 ways the

00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:18.960
 question for

00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:20.700
 us is am I

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:21.720
 willing to be

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:22.500
 warned about

00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:23.380
 my divisive

00:20:23.380 --> 00:20:24.839
 ways and

00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:25.200
 that's an

00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:25.819
 important thing

00:20:25.819 --> 00:20:26.519
 to realize

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:27.819
 because often

00:20:27.819 --> 00:20:28.620
 when we read

00:20:28.620 --> 00:20:29.539
 passages like

00:20:29.539 --> 00:20:30.980
 this we put

00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:31.680
 ourselves in the

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:32.480
 position where we

00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:33.240
 are the authority

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:33.839
 where we are

00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:34.980
 the law where

00:20:34.980 --> 00:20:36.099
 we create the

00:20:36.099 --> 00:20:36.859
 norm by which

00:20:36.859 --> 00:20:37.339
 other people

00:20:37.339 --> 00:20:38.000
 should live

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.319
 but no Titus

00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:41.099
 is the one who

00:20:41.099 --> 00:20:41.599
 has been given

00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:42.400
 this authority

00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:43.740
 and the vast

00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:44.720
 majority of us

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:45.620
 are the ones

00:20:45.620 --> 00:20:46.620
 who should be

00:20:46.620 --> 00:20:47.539
 submitting to

00:20:47.539 --> 00:20:48.220
 this authority

00:20:48.220 --> 00:20:48.799
 who should have

00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:49.700
 humble hearts

00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:50.759
 who should be

00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:51.559
 willing to heed

00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:52.420
 a warning

00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:54.519
 so rather than

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:55.259
 taking the law

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:55.880
 into our own

00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:57.079
 hands we should

00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:58.059
 be willing to

00:20:58.059 --> 00:20:59.680
 heed to hear

00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:01.140
 older Christians

00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:02.140
 wiser Christians

00:21:02.140 --> 00:21:02.700
 as they come

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:03.680
 alongside us

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:04.980
 as they seek

00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:05.559
 out our good

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:06.460
 patiently and

00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:07.539
 lovingly and

00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:08.059
 caringly

00:21:08.059 --> 00:21:10.440
 so that's the

00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:10.980
 first thing and

00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:11.700
 we've spent a

00:21:11.700 --> 00:21:12.380
 little bit longer

00:21:12.380 --> 00:21:12.960
 on that the

00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:13.759
 pure fellowship

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:15.160
 is fed by pure

00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:15.720
 division

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:17.580
 now I hope you

00:21:17.580 --> 00:21:18.180
 remember the

00:21:18.180 --> 00:21:19.039
 content of that

00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:20.180
 because the

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:21.019
 idea that pure

00:21:21.019 --> 00:21:21.840
 division in the

00:21:21.840 --> 00:21:23.160
 church is a

00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:24.279
 good thing is

00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:25.779
 maybe hard to

00:21:25.779 --> 00:21:26.720
 get our heads

00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:27.440
 around but let's

00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:28.299
 remember that we

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:29.299
 need sometimes to

00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:30.960
 avoid controversial

00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:31.920
 arguments and

00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:33.120
 controversial people

00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:35.240
 the second thing

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:35.820
 we want to see

00:21:35.820 --> 00:21:36.279
 is that pure

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:37.120
 fellowship is

00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:38.140
 nourished or

00:21:38.140 --> 00:21:39.500
 fed by pure

00:21:39.500 --> 00:21:40.120
 decisions

00:21:40.120 --> 00:21:42.480
 and we see this

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:43.480
 in verses 12

00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:44.580
 and 13 where he

00:21:44.580 --> 00:21:45.600
 says as soon as

00:21:45.600 --> 00:21:46.660
 I send Artemis

00:21:46.660 --> 00:21:47.600
 or Tychicus to

00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:49.019
 you do your best

00:21:49.019 --> 00:21:49.680
 to come to me

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:50.340
 at Nicopolis

00:21:50.340 --> 00:21:51.640
 because I have

00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:52.600
 decided to winter

00:21:52.600 --> 00:21:52.980
 there

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:54.900
 do everything you

00:21:54.900 --> 00:21:55.500
 can to help

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:56.420
 Zenos the lawyer

00:21:56.420 --> 00:21:57.279
 and Apollos on

00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:58.259
 their way and

00:21:58.259 --> 00:21:58.980
 see that they have

00:21:58.980 --> 00:21:59.620
 everything they

00:21:59.619 --> 00:22:01.239
 need our people

00:22:01.239 --> 00:22:02.000
 must learn to

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:02.779
 devote themselves

00:22:02.779 --> 00:22:03.459
 to doing what

00:22:03.459 --> 00:22:04.739
 is good Paul

00:22:04.739 --> 00:22:06.259
 says in order

00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:06.839
 that they may

00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:07.899
 provide for daily

00:22:07.899 --> 00:22:09.059
 necessities and

00:22:09.059 --> 00:22:10.659
 not live unproductive

00:22:10.659 --> 00:22:13.319
 lives so what we

00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:14.239
 see worked out by

00:22:14.239 --> 00:22:15.399
 Paul is an

00:22:15.399 --> 00:22:16.599
 example of how

00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:17.419
 to make good

00:22:17.419 --> 00:22:18.819
 pure decisions

00:22:18.819 --> 00:22:19.899
 and how these

00:22:19.899 --> 00:22:21.059
 decisions affect

00:22:21.059 --> 00:22:21.819
 our fellowship

00:22:21.819 --> 00:22:24.659
 in verses 12

00:22:24.659 --> 00:22:25.839
 and 13 he's

00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:26.399
 showing us an

00:22:26.399 --> 00:22:27.019
 example of good

00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:28.200
 planning and how

00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:29.119
 planning affects

00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:29.759
 our decision

00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:30.839
 making process

00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.039
 and we see

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:33.940
 that so much

00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:34.519
 of his plans

00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:35.119
 are people

00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:36.339
 based so we

00:22:36.339 --> 00:22:37.119
 have Paul

00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:38.379
 himself he

00:22:38.379 --> 00:22:39.200
 has made his

00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.079
 decision we

00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:40.799
 have Artemis

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:41.119
 we have

00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:41.920
 Tychicus we

00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:42.839
 have Zenos

00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:43.519
 the lawyer we

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:44.200
 have Apollos

00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.599
 all of this

00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:46.460
 planning that

00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:47.200
 Paul is doing

00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:48.019
 is based around

00:22:48.019 --> 00:22:49.039
 people and

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.420
 where they're

00:22:49.420 --> 00:22:50.000
 going to be

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:50.359
 what they're

00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:50.759
 going to be

00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:52.480
 doing and

00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:53.019
 that's only the

00:22:53.019 --> 00:22:53.579
 people he has

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:54.200
 named there's

00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:54.980
 plenty of people

00:22:54.980 --> 00:22:56.480
 in the congregations

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:56.940
 that are going

00:22:56.940 --> 00:22:57.500
 to be affected

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:58.279
 by this

00:22:58.279 --> 00:22:58.880
 planning as

00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:00.920
 well and so

00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:01.980
 good planning is

00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:03.140
 part of the

00:23:03.140 --> 00:23:03.860
 pure decision

00:23:03.860 --> 00:23:04.819
 making process

00:23:04.819 --> 00:23:06.039
 that in turn

00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:06.819
 leads to pure

00:23:06.819 --> 00:23:08.440
 fellowship so

00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:09.339
 we're on about

00:23:09.339 --> 00:23:10.099
 three levels

00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:11.480
 here but good

00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:12.180
 planning is

00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:13.140
 essential planning

00:23:13.140 --> 00:23:13.860
 that works

00:23:13.860 --> 00:23:14.920
 around other

00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:16.079
 people works

00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:16.460
 around the

00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:17.460
 people in the

00:23:17.460 --> 00:23:18.200
 body of Christ

00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:18.620
 here in

00:23:18.620 --> 00:23:19.099
 Carigoline

00:23:19.099 --> 00:23:21.619
 another thing

00:23:21.619 --> 00:23:23.519
 another element

00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:24.199
 of our pure

00:23:24.199 --> 00:23:25.019
 decision making

00:23:25.019 --> 00:23:26.899
 is to do our

00:23:26.899 --> 00:23:27.679
 best to make

00:23:27.679 --> 00:23:28.399
 our very best

00:23:28.399 --> 00:23:29.279
 efforts so

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:30.699
 if you're like

00:23:30.699 --> 00:23:31.980
 me you may be

00:23:31.980 --> 00:23:32.500
 the kind of

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:33.259
 person who is

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:33.819
 very good at

00:23:33.819 --> 00:23:34.819
 planning things

00:23:34.819 --> 00:23:36.399
 but as long as

00:23:36.399 --> 00:23:37.059
 the plans stay

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:37.899
 in your desk

00:23:37.899 --> 00:23:39.099
 if you don't

00:23:39.099 --> 00:23:39.740
 fulfill them

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:40.179
 if you don't

00:23:40.179 --> 00:23:40.779
 follow through

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:41.119
 in them

00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:41.919
 they're pretty

00:23:41.919 --> 00:23:42.439
 worthless

00:23:42.439 --> 00:23:44.319
 there's no use

00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:44.719
 to them

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:46.420
 and so Paul

00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:47.220
 says to Titus

00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:48.200
 do your best

00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:49.140
 in verse 12

00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:49.980
 do everything

00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:50.799
 you can

00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:51.740
 to help

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:52.460
 Zenos and

00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:53.360
 Apollos on

00:23:53.360 --> 00:23:53.839
 their way

00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:55.339
 and that

00:23:55.339 --> 00:23:56.100
 these people

00:23:56.100 --> 00:23:56.539
 must learn

00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:56.980
 to do

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:58.259
 what is good

00:23:58.259 --> 00:23:59.120
 in other words

00:23:59.120 --> 00:23:59.559
 to put in

00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:00.000
 effort

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:01.640
 to put in

00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:02.140
 their best

00:24:02.140 --> 00:24:02.759
 efforts

00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:04.160
 in order for

00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:05.200
 good decisions

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:06.180
 pure decisions

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:06.940
 to be made

00:24:06.940 --> 00:24:09.039
 so Paul

00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:09.839
 recognizes good

00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:10.299
 planning

00:24:10.299 --> 00:24:12.360
 best efforts

00:24:12.360 --> 00:24:13.039
 these are two

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:13.559
 things that are

00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:14.160
 part of the

00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:15.240
 decision making

00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:15.940
 process

00:24:15.940 --> 00:24:17.420
 but there's also

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:18.160
 a third thing

00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:19.019
 which is vitally

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:19.620
 important

00:24:19.620 --> 00:24:20.800
 and that is a

00:24:20.800 --> 00:24:21.580
 recognition by

00:24:21.580 --> 00:24:22.320
 Paul that there

00:24:22.320 --> 00:24:23.220
 are human

00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:23.860
 limitations

00:24:23.860 --> 00:24:26.019
 so we can't

00:24:26.019 --> 00:24:26.600
 be everywhere

00:24:26.600 --> 00:24:27.220
 at once

00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:28.519
 we don't know

00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:29.060
 all things

00:24:29.060 --> 00:24:29.980
 we can't do

00:24:29.980 --> 00:24:30.640
 all things

00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:31.860
 and so even

00:24:31.860 --> 00:24:32.340
 though Paul

00:24:32.340 --> 00:24:33.259
 has good plans

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:34.880
 even though Paul

00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:35.900
 expects best

00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:36.500
 efforts from

00:24:36.500 --> 00:24:36.880
 people

00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:38.480
 he also recognizes

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:39.160
 that people are

00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:39.680
 limited

00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:40.900
 individually

00:24:40.900 --> 00:24:42.220
 and corporately

00:24:42.220 --> 00:24:44.120
 and so when

00:24:44.120 --> 00:24:44.600
 he says

00:24:44.600 --> 00:24:46.019
 I will send

00:24:46.019 --> 00:24:46.579
 Artemis

00:24:46.579 --> 00:24:47.480
 or Tychicus

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:48.140
 it's one or

00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:48.480
 the other

00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:49.279
 there's a reason

00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:50.059
 that he's not

00:24:50.059 --> 00:24:50.799
 sending both

00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:51.960
 perhaps Tychicus

00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:52.620
 might have to

00:24:52.620 --> 00:24:53.559
 stay wherever

00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:54.120
 he is

00:24:54.120 --> 00:24:54.940
 for another

00:24:54.940 --> 00:24:55.360
 reason

00:24:55.360 --> 00:24:57.440
 and so when

00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:58.319
 Paul tells

00:24:58.319 --> 00:24:59.259
 Titus to come

00:24:59.259 --> 00:24:59.779
 to him in

00:24:59.779 --> 00:25:00.420
 Nicopolis

00:25:00.420 --> 00:25:01.960
 he realizes

00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:02.720
 that if Titus

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:03.380
 comes to him

00:25:03.380 --> 00:25:04.160
 in Nicopolis

00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:05.220
 that leaves

00:25:05.220 --> 00:25:05.860
 a gap

00:25:05.860 --> 00:25:06.360
 a space

00:25:06.360 --> 00:25:07.019
 where Titus

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:07.660
 would have

00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:07.920
 been

00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:08.500
 and so he

00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:08.900
 wants to

00:25:08.900 --> 00:25:10.180
 send Artemis

00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:11.180
 to fill

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:11.660
 that gap

00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:13.000
 and so he

00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:13.660
 recognizes

00:25:13.660 --> 00:25:15.000
 that people

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:15.580
 are limited

00:25:15.580 --> 00:25:16.100
 we are

00:25:16.100 --> 00:25:16.400
 limited

00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:18.140
 in who we

00:25:18.140 --> 00:25:18.460
 are and

00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:18.779
 what we're

00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:19.240
 able to

00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:19.539
 do

00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:20.019
 and what

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:20.340
 we're able

00:25:20.340 --> 00:25:21.480
 to understand

00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:23.640
 and so it's

00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:24.100
 this kind of

00:25:24.100 --> 00:25:25.080
 decision making

00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:26.279
 that has good

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:26.740
 planning

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:27.840
 that puts

00:25:27.840 --> 00:25:28.600
 in a good

00:25:28.600 --> 00:25:29.039
 effort

00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:30.340
 and realizes

00:25:30.340 --> 00:25:31.140
 limitations

00:25:31.140 --> 00:25:32.799
 that feeds

00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:34.080
 pure fellowship

00:25:34.080 --> 00:25:37.580
 maybe the

00:25:37.580 --> 00:25:38.279
 most obvious

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:39.560
 illustration

00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:40.059
 of this

00:25:40.059 --> 00:25:40.679
 is where

00:25:40.679 --> 00:25:41.819
 we are

00:25:41.819 --> 00:25:42.379
 right now

00:25:42.379 --> 00:25:42.819
 on a Sunday

00:25:42.819 --> 00:25:43.240
 morning

00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:43.679
 at 11

00:25:43.679 --> 00:25:44.179
 o'clock

00:25:44.179 --> 00:25:45.019
 or shortly

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:45.639
 thereafter

00:25:45.639 --> 00:25:46.839
 when you

00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:47.339
 consider

00:25:47.339 --> 00:25:47.899
 a Sunday

00:25:47.899 --> 00:25:48.379
 morning

00:25:48.379 --> 00:25:49.139
 it needs

00:25:49.139 --> 00:25:49.399
 to be

00:25:49.399 --> 00:25:49.879
 planned

00:25:49.879 --> 00:25:51.039
 there needs

00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:51.279
 to be

00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:51.759
 decisions

00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:52.159
 made

00:25:52.159 --> 00:25:52.859
 people need

00:25:52.859 --> 00:25:53.419
 to know

00:25:53.419 --> 00:25:53.859
 what's going

00:25:53.859 --> 00:25:54.279
 to happen

00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:54.799
 on a Sunday

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:55.220
 morning

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:56.019
 and if that

00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:56.679
 doesn't happen

00:25:56.679 --> 00:25:57.159
 some people

00:25:57.159 --> 00:25:57.720
 might arrive

00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:58.159
 at 10

00:25:58.159 --> 00:25:58.619
 some people

00:25:58.619 --> 00:25:59.119
 might arrive

00:25:59.119 --> 00:25:59.559
 at 12

00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:00.559
 the plans

00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:01.000
 need to be

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:01.619
 made well

00:26:01.619 --> 00:26:03.460
 not only that

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:03.839
 but we need

00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:04.159
 to put in

00:26:04.159 --> 00:26:04.579
 the effort

00:26:04.579 --> 00:26:05.779
 so I'm

00:26:05.779 --> 00:26:06.519
 sure most

00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:06.839
 of us

00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:07.159
 set our

00:26:07.159 --> 00:26:07.819
 alarm clocks

00:26:07.819 --> 00:26:08.359
 last night

00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:08.799
 we put in

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:09.539
 that intentional

00:26:09.539 --> 00:26:10.240
 effort to be

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:11.159
 up on time

00:26:11.159 --> 00:26:12.519
 to get here

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:13.899
 but there's

00:26:13.899 --> 00:26:14.339
 also a

00:26:14.339 --> 00:26:14.720
 recognition

00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:15.339
 on a Sunday

00:26:15.339 --> 00:26:15.740
 morning

00:26:15.740 --> 00:26:16.180
 that we're

00:26:16.180 --> 00:26:16.579
 limited

00:26:16.579 --> 00:26:18.099
 that we can

00:26:18.099 --> 00:26:18.799
 only do so

00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:19.200
 much

00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:20.220
 and so as we

00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:20.839
 consider the

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:21.579
 various things

00:26:21.579 --> 00:26:22.099
 that are going

00:26:22.099 --> 00:26:22.879
 on the various

00:26:22.879 --> 00:26:23.680
 ministries that

00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:24.139
 are happening

00:26:24.139 --> 00:26:24.899
 in our church

00:26:24.899 --> 00:26:25.740
 there's a

00:26:25.740 --> 00:26:26.419
 realisation

00:26:26.419 --> 00:26:26.919
 that there's

00:26:26.919 --> 00:26:27.559
 so much

00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:28.220
 we could be

00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:28.619
 doing

00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:29.799
 and yet

00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:30.220
 there's only

00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:30.659
 so much

00:26:30.659 --> 00:26:31.200
 we can

00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:31.539
 do

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:32.639
 if we

00:26:32.639 --> 00:26:33.119
 recognise

00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:33.720
 that it

00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:34.099
 will help

00:26:34.099 --> 00:26:34.539
 us to

00:26:34.539 --> 00:26:35.839
 not be

00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:37.019
 small in

00:26:37.019 --> 00:26:37.559
 our plans

00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:38.099
 or small

00:26:38.099 --> 00:26:38.440
 in our

00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:38.819
 efforts

00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:39.599
 but it'll

00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:39.960
 help us

00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:40.299
 to guard

00:26:40.299 --> 00:26:40.619
 against

00:26:40.619 --> 00:26:41.440
 the frustration

00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:42.679
 where we

00:26:42.679 --> 00:26:43.419
 see all that

00:26:43.419 --> 00:26:43.700
 could be

00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:44.099
 happening

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:44.919
 in Cargilline

00:26:44.919 --> 00:26:45.559
 for example

00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:46.839
 and we

00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:47.519
 feel inadequate

00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:48.200
 or we feel

00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:48.720
 unable to

00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:49.399
 achieve it

00:26:49.399 --> 00:26:50.519
 but if we

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:51.000
 recognise

00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:51.720
 that these

00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:52.839
 human limitations

00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:53.700
 are part and

00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:54.460
 parcel of who

00:26:54.460 --> 00:26:54.960
 we are

00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:56.399
 then it will

00:26:56.399 --> 00:26:57.139
 guard us

00:26:57.139 --> 00:26:58.200
 against frustration

00:26:58.200 --> 00:26:59.059
 and it will

00:26:59.059 --> 00:27:00.220
 feed pure

00:27:00.220 --> 00:27:00.720
 fellowship

00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.700
 so for us

00:27:04.700 --> 00:27:05.279
 the question

00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:06.240
 is whether

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:07.759
 other Christians

00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:08.680
 factor into

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:09.339
 our planning

00:27:09.339 --> 00:27:10.319
 there are

00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:10.900
 plenty of

00:27:10.900 --> 00:27:11.319
 motives

00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:12.259
 involved in

00:27:12.259 --> 00:27:12.779
 good planning

00:27:12.779 --> 00:27:13.200
 but this

00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:13.860
 passage in

00:27:13.860 --> 00:27:14.319
 particular

00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:15.420
 is highlighting

00:27:15.420 --> 00:27:16.039
 the need

00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:16.940
 to recognise

00:27:16.940 --> 00:27:18.100
 other people

00:27:18.100 --> 00:27:18.740
 in our

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:19.120
 planning

00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:20.240
 it's also

00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:20.860
 asking us

00:27:20.860 --> 00:27:21.259
 whether we're

00:27:21.259 --> 00:27:21.700
 putting in

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:22.160
 our best

00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:22.759
 efforts

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:24.240
 in order

00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:24.759
 to create

00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:25.140
 pure

00:27:25.140 --> 00:27:25.559
 fellowship

00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:25.940
 in order

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:26.740
 to make

00:27:26.740 --> 00:27:27.460
 good decisions

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:28.299
 and follow

00:27:28.299 --> 00:27:28.779
 through in

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:28.960
 them

00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:30.240
 and it's

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:30.559
 also

00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:31.460
 asking us

00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:32.019
 to recognise

00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:33.139
 our limitations

00:27:33.139 --> 00:27:34.259
 and the

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:34.740
 limitations

00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:35.339
 of other

00:27:35.339 --> 00:27:35.819
 people

00:27:35.819 --> 00:27:36.720
 so that we

00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:37.119
 do not

00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:37.960
 put undue

00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:38.619
 pressure

00:27:38.619 --> 00:27:39.420
 or stress

00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:40.319
 on people

00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:41.039
 in a way

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:42.099
 that they

00:27:42.099 --> 00:27:42.559
 are unable

00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:43.460
 to fulfil

00:27:43.460 --> 00:27:45.980
 and so that's

00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:46.599
 the second

00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:47.099
 thing we want

00:27:47.099 --> 00:27:47.339
 to see

00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:48.000
 pure fellowship

00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:48.639
 is fed

00:27:48.639 --> 00:27:49.899
 by pure

00:27:49.899 --> 00:27:50.779
 decisions

00:27:50.779 --> 00:27:52.779
 and the

00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:53.319
 last thing

00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:54.000
 from this

00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:54.940
 passage this

00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:55.399
 morning is

00:27:55.399 --> 00:27:55.879
 that pure

00:27:55.879 --> 00:27:56.319
 fellowship

00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:56.779
 is fed

00:27:56.779 --> 00:27:57.399
 by pure

00:27:57.399 --> 00:27:58.420
 devotion

00:27:58.420 --> 00:27:59.480
 which is

00:27:59.480 --> 00:27:59.800
 a much

00:27:59.800 --> 00:28:00.039
 more

00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:00.460
 exciting

00:28:00.460 --> 00:28:00.820
 word

00:28:00.820 --> 00:28:01.060
 than

00:28:01.060 --> 00:28:01.820
 decision

00:28:01.820 --> 00:28:03.880
 so when

00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:04.440
 we consider

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:05.940
 the language

00:28:05.940 --> 00:28:06.460
 that Paul

00:28:06.460 --> 00:28:07.240
 uses here

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:08.420
 in verse 14

00:28:08.420 --> 00:28:09.060
 for example

00:28:09.060 --> 00:28:09.640
 he says

00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:10.420
 our people

00:28:10.420 --> 00:28:10.980
 must learn

00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:11.560
 to devote

00:28:11.560 --> 00:28:11.980
 themselves

00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:12.660
 to doing

00:28:12.660 --> 00:28:13.060
 what is

00:28:13.060 --> 00:28:13.440
 good

00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:15.060
 you may

00:28:15.060 --> 00:28:15.480
 remember

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.240
 that phrase

00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:16.900
 from such

00:28:16.900 --> 00:28:17.400
 verses

00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:19.000
 as last

00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:19.320
 week

00:28:19.320 --> 00:28:19.700
 in verse

00:28:19.700 --> 00:28:20.160
 8

00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:22.200
 that those

00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:22.480
 who have

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:23.120
 trusted in

00:28:23.120 --> 00:28:23.340
 God

00:28:23.340 --> 00:28:23.720
 may be

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.200
 careful

00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:25.620
 to devote

00:28:25.620 --> 00:28:26.140
 themselves

00:28:26.140 --> 00:28:27.480
 to doing

00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:28.220
 what is

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:28.640
 good

00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:30.720
 within the

00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:31.180
 space of

00:28:31.180 --> 00:28:31.940
 six verses

00:28:31.940 --> 00:28:32.860
 Paul repeats

00:28:32.860 --> 00:28:33.500
 it and he

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:34.120
 wants us to

00:28:34.120 --> 00:28:34.940
 remember it

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:35.780
 and he wants

00:28:35.780 --> 00:28:36.440
 it to be

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:37.640
 scorched into

00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:38.320
 our memories

00:28:38.320 --> 00:28:39.000
 that we are

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:39.460
 to be

00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:40.780
 devoted to

00:28:40.780 --> 00:28:41.480
 doing what

00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:42.080
 is good

00:28:42.080 --> 00:28:43.520
 and this

00:28:43.520 --> 00:28:44.020
 in turn

00:28:44.020 --> 00:28:44.640
 will lead

00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:45.720
 and feed

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:46.600
 pure

00:28:46.600 --> 00:28:47.120
 fellowship

00:28:47.120 --> 00:28:50.240
 I guess

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:51.000
 depending on

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:51.720
 the background

00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:52.460
 you're from

00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:53.420
 you may

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:54.940
 respond to

00:28:54.940 --> 00:28:55.539
 this phrase

00:28:55.539 --> 00:28:56.319
 devoted to

00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:56.840
 doing what

00:28:56.840 --> 00:28:57.240
 is good

00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:57.759
 differently

00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:58.980
 so perhaps

00:28:58.980 --> 00:28:59.559
 you may

00:28:59.559 --> 00:28:59.840
 think

00:28:59.840 --> 00:29:00.259
 well

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:01.960
 I have to

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:02.440
 be devoted

00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:02.960
 to doing

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:03.360
 what is

00:29:03.360 --> 00:29:03.720
 good

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:04.400
 because if

00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:04.720
 I do

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:05.200
 enough

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:05.940
 what is

00:29:05.940 --> 00:29:06.259
 good

00:29:06.259 --> 00:29:07.620
 then

00:29:07.620 --> 00:29:08.460
 I will

00:29:08.460 --> 00:29:08.840
 get into

00:29:08.840 --> 00:29:09.220
 heaven

00:29:09.220 --> 00:29:09.880
 hooray

00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:11.640
 or

00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:12.180
 you may

00:29:12.180 --> 00:29:12.440
 be of

00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:12.920
 the opinion

00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:13.180
 that

00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:14.160
 well no

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:14.460
 I don't

00:29:14.460 --> 00:29:14.680
 need to

00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:15.100
 be devoted

00:29:15.100 --> 00:29:15.519
 to doing

00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:15.799
 what is

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:15.940
 good

00:29:15.940 --> 00:29:16.240
 because

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:16.700
 Christ

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:17.100
 has done

00:29:17.100 --> 00:29:17.539
 it all

00:29:17.539 --> 00:29:18.259
 for me

00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:19.680
 and it's

00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:19.940
 certainly

00:29:19.940 --> 00:29:20.500
 true that

00:29:20.500 --> 00:29:21.039
 Christ has

00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:21.360
 done

00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:22.399
 everything

00:29:22.399 --> 00:29:23.119
 for us

00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:23.559
 we saw

00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:24.079
 that back

00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:25.359
 in the

00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:25.859
 start of

00:29:25.859 --> 00:29:26.539
 chapter 3

00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:26.919
 where it's

00:29:26.919 --> 00:29:27.299
 not by

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:27.939
 our own

00:29:27.939 --> 00:29:28.459
 righteousness

00:29:28.459 --> 00:29:28.939
 that we

00:29:28.939 --> 00:29:29.599
 are saved

00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:30.819
 but the

00:29:30.819 --> 00:29:31.399
 tendency

00:29:31.399 --> 00:29:32.219
 the temptation

00:29:32.219 --> 00:29:32.639
 can be

00:29:32.639 --> 00:29:33.059
 to say

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:33.659
 if Christ

00:29:33.659 --> 00:29:34.059
 has done

00:29:34.059 --> 00:29:34.459
 it all

00:29:34.459 --> 00:29:35.099
 I don't

00:29:35.099 --> 00:29:35.399
 need to

00:29:35.399 --> 00:29:35.959
 be quite

00:29:35.959 --> 00:29:36.819
 so devoted

00:29:36.819 --> 00:29:37.959
 to doing

00:29:37.959 --> 00:29:38.339
 what is

00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:38.679
 good

00:29:38.679 --> 00:29:39.619
 but no

00:29:39.619 --> 00:29:40.379
 Paul says

00:29:40.379 --> 00:29:42.519
 God says

00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:42.839
 to us

00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:43.399
 this morning

00:29:43.399 --> 00:29:44.259
 that we

00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:44.599
 should be

00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:45.339
 motivated

00:29:45.339 --> 00:29:46.299
 we should

00:29:46.299 --> 00:29:46.899
 be devoted

00:29:46.899 --> 00:29:47.419
 to doing

00:29:47.419 --> 00:29:47.779
 what is

00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:48.079
 good

00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:48.839
 because of

00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:49.299
 all that

00:29:49.299 --> 00:29:49.599
 we have

00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:50.000
 seen in

00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:50.639
 chapter 3

00:29:50.639 --> 00:29:51.219
 so far

00:29:51.220 --> 00:29:51.920
 because of

00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:52.339
 all that

00:29:52.339 --> 00:29:52.819
 God has

00:29:52.819 --> 00:29:53.059
 done

00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:53.660
 so far

00:29:53.660 --> 00:29:54.339
 that's

00:29:54.339 --> 00:29:54.579
 certainly

00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:54.819
 the

00:29:54.819 --> 00:29:55.279
 primary

00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:56.039
 motivation

00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:57.860
 but we

00:29:57.860 --> 00:29:58.279
 should also

00:29:58.279 --> 00:29:59.039
 be motivated

00:29:59.039 --> 00:29:59.839
 by secondary

00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:00.299
 things

00:30:00.299 --> 00:30:00.819
 there are

00:30:00.819 --> 00:30:01.559
 urgent

00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:01.980
 needs

00:30:01.980 --> 00:30:02.380
 there are

00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:02.740
 daily

00:30:02.740 --> 00:30:03.480
 necessities

00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:04.259
 as we

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:04.720
 see in

00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:05.860
 verse 14

00:30:05.860 --> 00:30:06.880
 we should

00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:07.579
 be motivated

00:30:07.579 --> 00:30:08.180
 because there

00:30:08.180 --> 00:30:08.740
 are things

00:30:08.740 --> 00:30:09.440
 that people

00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:09.980
 need

00:30:09.980 --> 00:30:10.620
 there are

00:30:10.620 --> 00:30:10.960
 things that

00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:11.319
 we might

00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:11.519
 have

00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:11.799
 they might

00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:12.299
 be gifts

00:30:12.299 --> 00:30:12.720
 they might

00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:13.779
 be financial

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.339
 resources

00:30:14.339 --> 00:30:14.700
 they might

00:30:14.700 --> 00:30:15.100
 be time

00:30:15.100 --> 00:30:15.660
 to pray

00:30:15.660 --> 00:30:16.559
 and there

00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:16.900
 are things

00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:17.279
 that we

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:17.700
 have

00:30:17.700 --> 00:30:18.600
 that can

00:30:18.600 --> 00:30:19.539
 provide

00:30:19.539 --> 00:30:20.500
 for daily

00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:21.200
 necessities

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:21.960
 of others

00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:24.039
 a second

00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:24.680
 motivation

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:25.920
 to not

00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:26.240
 live

00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:26.980
 unproductive

00:30:26.980 --> 00:30:27.579
 lives

00:30:27.579 --> 00:30:28.799
 which is

00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:29.299
 a tempting

00:30:29.299 --> 00:30:29.720
 thing

00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:32.639
 to do

00:30:32.639 --> 00:30:33.399
 to be

00:30:33.399 --> 00:30:34.039
 unproductive

00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:34.399
 in our

00:30:34.399 --> 00:30:34.839
 lives

00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:36.399
 it's tempting

00:30:36.399 --> 00:30:36.960
 to say

00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:37.319
 well

00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:37.960
 I've been

00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:38.579
 working hard

00:30:38.579 --> 00:30:38.920
 I just

00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:39.379
 want to

00:30:39.379 --> 00:30:40.559
 chill out

00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:40.819
 and do

00:30:40.819 --> 00:30:41.240
 nothing

00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:43.500
 but Paul

00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:44.099
 calls us

00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:44.500
 here to

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:45.279
 be

00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:46.200
 motivated

00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:46.860
 by the

00:30:46.860 --> 00:30:47.220
 desire

00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:47.559
 to live

00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:48.120
 a productive

00:30:48.120 --> 00:30:48.480
 life

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:48.819
 to make

00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:49.279
 the most

00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:49.600
 of what

00:30:49.600 --> 00:30:49.860
 God

00:30:49.860 --> 00:30:50.299
 has given

00:30:50.299 --> 00:30:50.640
 us

00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:51.740
 he says

00:30:51.740 --> 00:30:52.680
 in verse 13

00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:53.480
 do everything

00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:54.200
 you can

00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:55.460
 to help

00:30:55.460 --> 00:30:56.019
 Zenos and

00:30:56.019 --> 00:30:56.640
 Apollos on

00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:57.120
 their way

00:30:57.120 --> 00:30:57.900
 that they

00:30:57.900 --> 00:30:58.519
 have everything

00:30:58.519 --> 00:30:58.960
 that they

00:30:58.960 --> 00:30:59.420
 need

00:30:59.420 --> 00:31:01.259
 and so

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:01.740
 Paul's

00:31:01.740 --> 00:31:02.120
 attention

00:31:02.120 --> 00:31:03.200
 to detail

00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:03.700
 attention

00:31:03.700 --> 00:31:04.400
 to need

00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:05.000
 in the

00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:05.400
 lives

00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:06.100
 of those

00:31:06.100 --> 00:31:06.720
 around him

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:07.460
 is a

00:31:07.460 --> 00:31:08.240
 good example

00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:08.880
 for us

00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:11.620
 I think

00:31:11.620 --> 00:31:11.980
 in order

00:31:11.980 --> 00:31:12.880
 to illustrate

00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:13.580
 this idea

00:31:13.580 --> 00:31:13.860
 that we

00:31:13.860 --> 00:31:14.200
 are to be

00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:14.700
 devoted

00:31:14.700 --> 00:31:15.220
 to doing

00:31:15.220 --> 00:31:15.559
 what is

00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:15.799
 good

00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:16.519
 maybe

00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:18.159
 an experience

00:31:18.159 --> 00:31:18.619
 that I've

00:31:18.619 --> 00:31:19.079
 never had

00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:19.419
 which is

00:31:19.419 --> 00:31:19.659
 being

00:31:19.659 --> 00:31:20.299
 at the

00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:20.539
 start

00:31:20.539 --> 00:31:20.960
 of a

00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:21.359
 race

00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:22.079
 Shane

00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:22.419
 will have

00:31:22.419 --> 00:31:22.899
 it tomorrow

00:31:22.899 --> 00:31:24.079
 in the

00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:24.440
 marathon

00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:24.960
 and others

00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:25.440
 as well

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:26.720
 is the

00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:27.139
 sprinter

00:31:27.139 --> 00:31:27.480
 at the

00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:27.740
 start

00:31:27.740 --> 00:31:28.000
 of a

00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:28.339
 race

00:31:28.339 --> 00:31:28.960
 they

00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:29.500
 adopt

00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:29.919
 a certain

00:31:29.919 --> 00:31:30.539
 position

00:31:30.539 --> 00:31:31.019
 they

00:31:31.019 --> 00:31:31.779
 lean

00:31:31.779 --> 00:31:32.379
 towards

00:31:32.379 --> 00:31:32.599
 where

00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:32.759
 they're

00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:32.940
 going

00:31:32.940 --> 00:31:33.220
 to be

00:31:33.220 --> 00:31:33.559
 going

00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:33.960
 they're

00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:35.119
 ready

00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:35.539
 to go

00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:35.839
 when the

00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:36.039
 gun

00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:36.339
 goes

00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:36.700
 off

00:31:36.700 --> 00:31:37.240
 and so

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:37.559
 when the

00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:37.759
 gun

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.259
 does

00:31:38.259 --> 00:31:38.480
 go

00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:38.819
 off

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:39.859
 there

00:31:39.859 --> 00:31:40.279
 is an

00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:40.759
 urgency

00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:41.119
 they

00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:42.740
 jump

00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:43.079
 out of

00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:43.200
 the

00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:43.500
 blocks

00:31:43.500 --> 00:31:43.899
 nearly

00:31:43.899 --> 00:31:44.619
 because

00:31:44.619 --> 00:31:44.940
 they've

00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:45.079
 been

00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:45.440
 leaning

00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:45.820
 in that

00:31:45.820 --> 00:31:46.420
 direction

00:31:46.420 --> 00:31:48.039
 for us

00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:48.500
 Paul says

00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:48.759
 we are

00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:49.019
 to be

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:49.680
 leaning

00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:50.279
 our hearts

00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:50.700
 are to be

00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:51.059
 leaning

00:31:51.059 --> 00:31:51.500
 towards

00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:51.940
 doing what

00:31:51.940 --> 00:31:52.259
 is good

00:31:52.259 --> 00:31:52.740
 all the

00:31:52.740 --> 00:31:53.220
 time

00:31:53.220 --> 00:31:54.220
 we saw

00:31:54.220 --> 00:31:54.700
 that again

00:31:54.700 --> 00:31:55.140
 in verse

00:31:55.140 --> 00:31:55.920
 1 of

00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:56.580
 chapter 3

00:31:56.580 --> 00:31:57.519
 be ready

00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:57.980
 to do

00:31:57.980 --> 00:31:58.299
 whatever

00:31:58.299 --> 00:31:58.779
 is good

00:31:58.779 --> 00:31:59.180
 so there's

00:31:59.180 --> 00:31:59.759
 a readiness

00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:00.259
 there's a

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:01.000
 preparedness

00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:02.140
 to do

00:32:02.140 --> 00:32:02.440
 what is

00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:02.779
 good

00:32:02.779 --> 00:32:04.559
 rather than

00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:05.220
 leaning away

00:32:05.220 --> 00:32:05.759
 from these

00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:06.039
 things

00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:06.720
 rather than

00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:07.460
 adopting

00:32:07.460 --> 00:32:08.120
 a heart

00:32:08.120 --> 00:32:08.660
 position

00:32:08.660 --> 00:32:09.720
 where we

00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:10.759
 lean away

00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:11.500
 naturally

00:32:11.500 --> 00:32:11.819
 from

00:32:11.819 --> 00:32:12.100
 doing

00:32:12.100 --> 00:32:12.460
 good

00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:15.500
 Paul's

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:15.960
 concern

00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:17.000
 it's

00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:17.360
 not so

00:32:17.360 --> 00:32:17.620
 much

00:32:17.620 --> 00:32:18.079
 the

00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:18.340
 nitty

00:32:18.340 --> 00:32:18.640
 gritty

00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:18.920
 he's

00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:19.079
 not

00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:19.279
 going

00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:19.500
 around

00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:19.740
 saying

00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:20.039
 Ralph

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:20.400
 I want

00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:20.539
 you

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:20.860
 to do

00:32:20.860 --> 00:32:21.120
 this

00:32:21.120 --> 00:32:21.620
 or Chris

00:32:21.620 --> 00:32:21.940
 I want

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:22.059
 you

00:32:22.059 --> 00:32:22.400
 to do

00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:22.660
 this

00:32:22.660 --> 00:32:22.900
 his

00:32:22.900 --> 00:32:23.319
 concern

00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:23.680
 at this

00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:24.100
 stage

00:32:24.100 --> 00:32:25.160
 is for

00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:25.360
 our

00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:25.640
 hearts

00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:25.920
 to be

00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:26.200
 leaning

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:26.840
 towards

00:32:26.840 --> 00:32:27.440
 doing

00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:27.720
 what

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:27.900
 is

00:32:27.900 --> 00:32:28.140
 good

00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:28.480
 to be

00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:28.960
 devoted

00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:29.319
 to

00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:29.579
 it

00:32:29.579 --> 00:32:30.759
 and he

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:31.600
 recognizes

00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:32.899
 that this

00:32:32.899 --> 00:32:33.319
 is something

00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:33.719
 we need

00:32:33.719 --> 00:32:34.459
 to learn

00:32:34.459 --> 00:32:35.199
 that's

00:32:35.199 --> 00:32:35.579
 exactly

00:32:35.579 --> 00:32:36.039
 the word

00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:36.519
 he uses

00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:36.980
 in verse

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:37.459
 14

00:32:37.459 --> 00:32:38.279
 it's not

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:38.619
 something

00:32:38.619 --> 00:32:38.859
 that

00:32:38.859 --> 00:32:39.679
 necessarily

00:32:39.679 --> 00:32:40.000
 comes

00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:40.500
 naturally

00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:41.219
 to us

00:32:41.219 --> 00:32:43.699
 and so

00:32:43.699 --> 00:32:44.019
 you may

00:32:44.019 --> 00:32:44.319
 ask

00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:44.659
 how will

00:32:44.659 --> 00:32:45.119
 I learn

00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:45.599
 such a

00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:45.759
 thing

00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:46.319
 it feels

00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:46.859
 quite

00:32:46.859 --> 00:32:47.319
 unnatural

00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:47.980
 for me

00:32:47.980 --> 00:32:50.179
 well

00:32:50.179 --> 00:32:50.859
 it's

00:32:50.859 --> 00:32:51.079
 learned

00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:51.519
 the same

00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:51.779
 way

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:52.339
 many

00:32:52.339 --> 00:32:52.599
 other

00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:52.899
 things

00:32:52.899 --> 00:32:53.039
 are

00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:53.339
 learned

00:32:53.339 --> 00:32:53.579
 which

00:32:53.579 --> 00:32:53.740
 is

00:32:53.740 --> 00:32:53.959
 through

00:32:53.959 --> 00:32:54.459
 practice

00:32:54.459 --> 00:32:54.779
 if

00:32:54.779 --> 00:32:54.899
 you

00:32:54.899 --> 00:32:55.219
 don't

00:32:55.219 --> 00:32:55.519
 feel

00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:55.719
 like

00:32:55.719 --> 00:32:55.899
 you're

00:32:55.899 --> 00:32:56.179
 leaning

00:32:56.179 --> 00:32:56.619
 towards

00:32:56.619 --> 00:32:56.899
 doing

00:32:56.899 --> 00:32:57.099
 good

00:32:57.099 --> 00:32:57.219
 if

00:32:57.219 --> 00:32:57.299
 you

00:32:57.299 --> 00:32:57.480
 don't

00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:57.740
 feel

00:32:57.740 --> 00:32:57.919
 like

00:32:57.919 --> 00:32:58.159
 doing

00:32:58.159 --> 00:32:58.519
 good

00:32:58.519 --> 00:32:59.959
 Paul

00:32:59.959 --> 00:33:00.279
 says

00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:00.459
 to

00:33:00.459 --> 00:33:00.899
 practice

00:33:00.899 --> 00:33:01.219
 it

00:33:01.220 --> 00:33:01.940
 to

00:33:01.940 --> 00:33:02.240
 follow

00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:02.460
 the

00:33:14.360 --> 00:33:14.500
 we

00:33:14.500 --> 00:33:14.640
 don't

00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:14.779
 want

00:33:14.779 --> 00:33:14.880
 to

00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:15.039
 do

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.160
 at

00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:15.339
 this

00:33:15.339 --> 00:33:15.600
 point

00:33:15.600 --> 00:33:15.799
 is

00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:15.940
 to

00:33:15.940 --> 00:33:16.079
 get

00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:16.339
 into

00:33:16.339 --> 00:33:16.600
 the

00:33:16.600 --> 00:33:17.200
 nitty

00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:17.579
 gritty

00:33:17.579 --> 00:33:17.779
 of

00:33:17.779 --> 00:33:17.940
 how

00:33:17.940 --> 00:33:18.120
 to

 do

00:33:18.299 --> 00:33:18.500
 this

00:33:18.500 --> 00:33:18.660
 but

00:33:18.660 --> 00:33:18.960
 simply

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.200
 to

00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:19.799
 recognize

00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:20.740
 the

00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:21.180
 heart

00:33:21.180 --> 00:33:21.839
 devotion

00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:22.120
 that

00:33:22.120 --> 00:33:22.279
 is

00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:22.680
 there

00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:23.200
 that

00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:23.299
 we

00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:23.420
 are

00:33:23.420 --> 00:33:23.519
 to

00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:23.680
 be

00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:24.120
 devoted

00:33:24.120 --> 00:33:24.680
 to

00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:24.960
 doing

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:25.160
 what

00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:25.319
 is

00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:25.620
 good

00:33:25.619 --> 00:33:27.979
 it's

00:33:27.979 --> 00:33:28.359
 interesting

00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:28.599
 that

00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:28.899
 Paul

00:33:28.899 --> 00:33:29.439
 himself

00:33:29.439 --> 00:33:30.219
 again

00:33:30.219 --> 00:33:30.579
 sets

00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:30.879
 a good

00:33:30.879 --> 00:33:31.359
 example

00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:31.759
 in this

00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:31.939
 he

00:33:31.939 --> 00:33:32.619
 recognizes

00:33:32.619 --> 00:33:32.939
 the

00:33:32.939 --> 00:33:33.299
 need

00:33:33.299 --> 00:33:33.819
 that

00:33:33.819 --> 00:33:33.959
 will

00:33:33.959 --> 00:33:34.119
 be

00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:34.399
 there

00:33:34.399 --> 00:33:34.639
 when

00:33:34.639 --> 00:33:35.119
 Titus

00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:35.519
 leaves

00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:36.579
 and

00:33:36.579 --> 00:33:37.000
 in

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:37.199
 order

00:33:37.199 --> 00:33:37.439
 to

00:33:37.439 --> 00:33:37.659
 fill

00:33:37.659 --> 00:33:37.899
 that

00:33:37.899 --> 00:33:38.239
 need

00:33:38.239 --> 00:33:39.239
 he's

00:33:39.239 --> 00:33:39.399
 going

00:33:39.399 --> 00:33:39.559
 to

00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:39.879
 send

00:33:39.879 --> 00:33:40.359
 somebody

00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:41.279
 to

00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:41.519
 that

00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:42.199
 congregation

00:33:42.199 --> 00:33:44.079
 not

00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:44.259
 only

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:44.500
 that

00:33:44.500 --> 00:33:44.639
 he

00:33:44.639 --> 00:33:45.239
 recognizes

00:33:45.239 --> 00:33:45.519
 that

00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:45.879
 Zenos

00:33:45.879 --> 00:33:46.079
 and

00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:46.539
 Apollos

00:33:46.539 --> 00:33:46.719
 have

00:33:46.719 --> 00:33:46.859
 been

00:33:46.859 --> 00:33:47.039
 on

00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:47.239
 this

00:33:47.239 --> 00:33:47.679
 long

00:33:47.679 --> 00:33:48.799
 journey

00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:50.000
 which

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:50.299
 I

00:33:50.299 --> 00:33:50.559
 always

00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:50.799
 think

00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:50.919
 of

00:33:50.919 --> 00:33:51.019
 as

00:33:51.019 --> 00:33:51.239
 something

00:33:51.239 --> 00:33:51.500
 like

00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:51.759
 out of

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:51.959
 Lord

00:33:51.959 --> 00:33:52.199
 of the

00:33:52.199 --> 00:33:52.419
 Rings

00:33:52.419 --> 00:33:52.879
 for some

00:33:52.879 --> 00:33:53.199
 reason

00:33:53.199 --> 00:33:53.979
 but

00:33:53.979 --> 00:33:54.159
 they're

00:33:54.159 --> 00:33:54.500
 on this

00:33:54.500 --> 00:33:54.779
 long

00:33:54.779 --> 00:33:55.079
 journey

00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:55.259
 they

00:33:55.259 --> 00:33:55.440
 may

00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:55.599
 have

00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:55.920
 no

00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:56.399
 drinking

00:33:56.399 --> 00:33:56.720
 water

00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:56.980
 left

00:33:56.980 --> 00:33:57.139
 they

00:33:57.139 --> 00:33:57.319
 may

00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:57.500
 have

00:33:57.500 --> 00:33:57.680
 no

00:33:57.680 --> 00:33:58.059
 food

00:33:58.059 --> 00:33:58.399
 left

00:33:58.399 --> 00:33:59.039
 and

00:33:59.039 --> 00:33:59.220
 again

00:33:59.220 --> 00:33:59.500
 Paul

00:33:59.500 --> 00:34:00.160
 recognizes

00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:00.399
 the

00:34:00.399 --> 00:34:00.579
 need

00:34:00.579 --> 00:34:01.059
 his

00:34:01.059 --> 00:34:01.420
 heart

00:34:01.420 --> 00:34:01.619
 is

00:34:01.619 --> 00:34:01.920
 leaning

00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:02.359
 towards

00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:02.619
 doing

00:34:02.619 --> 00:34:02.839
 what

00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:02.980
 is

00:34:02.980 --> 00:34:03.240
 good

00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:03.660
 in

00:34:03.660 --> 00:34:03.879
 this

00:34:03.879 --> 00:34:04.160
 case

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.420
 he's

00:34:04.420 --> 00:34:04.799
 distant

00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:05.119
 from

00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:05.359
 them

00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:05.940
 so

00:34:05.940 --> 00:34:06.099
 he

00:34:06.099 --> 00:34:06.460
 can't

00:34:06.460 --> 00:34:06.899
 himself

00:34:06.899 --> 00:34:07.339
 fulfill

00:34:07.339 --> 00:34:07.539
 that

00:34:07.539 --> 00:34:07.740
 need

00:34:07.740 --> 00:34:07.899
 but

00:34:07.899 --> 00:34:08.079
 what

00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:08.219
 he

00:34:08.219 --> 00:34:08.500
 does

00:34:08.500 --> 00:34:08.679
 is

00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:08.800
 he

00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:09.079
 writes

00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:09.300
 to

00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:09.699
 Titus

00:34:09.699 --> 00:34:09.960
 says

00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:10.539
 this

00:34:10.539 --> 00:34:10.699
 is

00:34:10.699 --> 00:34:10.860
 going

00:34:10.860 --> 00:34:10.980
 to

00:34:10.980 --> 00:34:11.159
 need

00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:11.279
 to

00:34:11.279 --> 00:34:11.440
 be

00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:11.840
 fulfilled

00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:12.139
 this

00:34:12.139 --> 00:34:12.820
 need

00:34:12.820 --> 00:34:12.980
 is

00:34:12.980 --> 00:34:13.139
 going

00:34:13.139 --> 00:34:13.239
 to

00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:13.739
 be

00:34:13.739 --> 00:34:14.659
 satisfying

00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:15.779
 and

00:34:15.779 --> 00:34:15.880
 he

00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:16.159
 asks

00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:16.699
 Titus

00:34:16.699 --> 00:34:16.899
 to

00:34:16.899 --> 00:34:17.059
 do

00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:17.179
 it

00:34:17.179 --> 00:34:17.319
 so

00:34:17.319 --> 00:34:18.000
 there's

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:18.439
 helpful

00:34:18.439 --> 00:34:19.039
 examples

00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:19.500
 of that

00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:19.879
 in the

00:34:19.879 --> 00:34:20.239
 scriptures

00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:21.759
 and in

00:34:21.759 --> 00:34:22.359
 the people

00:34:22.359 --> 00:34:23.079
 around us

00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:24.059
 so that we

00:34:24.059 --> 00:34:24.639
 can learn

00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:25.179
 to devote

00:34:25.179 --> 00:34:25.639
 ourselves

00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:26.579
 to doing

00:34:26.579 --> 00:34:26.980
 what is

00:34:26.980 --> 00:34:27.339
 good

00:34:27.339 --> 00:34:30.319
 so that's

00:34:30.319 --> 00:34:31.139
 our last

00:34:31.139 --> 00:34:31.419
 point

00:34:31.419 --> 00:34:31.799
 pure

 fellowship

00:34:32.319 --> 00:34:32.939
 fed by

00:34:32.939 --> 00:34:33.460
 pure

00:34:33.460 --> 00:34:34.500
 devotion

00:34:34.500 --> 00:34:37.619
 we've

00:34:37.619 --> 00:34:38.259
 looked at

00:34:38.259 --> 00:34:38.559
 a lot

00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:38.799
 we've

00:34:38.799 --> 00:34:39.099
 looked at

00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:39.559
 how pure

00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:39.939
 fellowship

00:34:39.939 --> 00:34:40.480
 is fed

00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:41.199
 by pure

00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:42.359
 divisions

00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:43.599
 and that

00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:44.019
 we are

00:34:44.019 --> 00:34:44.780
 avoiding

00:34:44.780 --> 00:34:45.860
 controversies

00:34:45.860 --> 00:34:46.039
 we're

00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:46.420
 avoiding

00:34:46.420 --> 00:34:47.079
 arguments

00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.460
 that are

00:34:47.460 --> 00:34:48.120
 fruitless

00:34:48.120 --> 00:34:49.460
 and unproductive

00:34:49.460 --> 00:34:50.780
 we've

00:34:50.780 --> 00:34:51.079
 looked at

00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:51.460
 how pure

00:34:51.460 --> 00:34:51.800
 fellowship

00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:52.240
 is fed

00:34:52.240 --> 00:34:52.820
 by pure

00:34:52.820 --> 00:34:53.620
 decisions

00:34:53.620 --> 00:34:54.099
 in other

00:34:54.099 --> 00:34:54.360
 words

00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:54.760
 that our

00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:55.500
 decision

00:34:55.500 --> 00:34:55.820
 making

00:34:55.820 --> 00:34:56.400
 is made

00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:56.720
 around

00:34:56.720 --> 00:34:57.039
 other

00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:57.460
 people

00:34:57.460 --> 00:34:57.980
 and take

00:34:57.980 --> 00:34:58.460
 those

00:34:58.460 --> 00:34:58.800
 people

00:34:58.800 --> 00:34:59.079
 into

00:34:59.079 --> 00:34:59.720
 account

00:34:59.720 --> 00:35:00.539
 while

00:35:00.539 --> 00:35:01.240
 recognising

00:35:01.240 --> 00:35:01.480
 their

00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:02.079
 limitations

00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:03.920
 and we've

00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:04.120
 seen

00:35:04.120 --> 00:35:04.620
 just now

00:35:04.620 --> 00:35:05.039
 that pure

00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:05.460
 fellowship

00:35:05.460 --> 00:35:05.920
 is fed

00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:06.400
 by pure

00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:07.079
 devotion

00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:08.620
 a desire

00:35:08.620 --> 00:35:09.220
 a leaning

00:35:09.220 --> 00:35:09.960
 towards

00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:10.599
 doing

00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:11.059
 what is

00:35:11.059 --> 00:35:11.440
 good

00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:14.720
 I think

00:35:14.720 --> 00:35:15.539
 it's really

00:35:15.539 --> 00:35:16.139
 sad

00:35:16.139 --> 00:35:17.500
 and yet

00:35:17.500 --> 00:35:17.880
 it's really

00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:18.579
 understandable

00:35:18.579 --> 00:35:19.260
 that people

00:35:19.260 --> 00:35:20.000
 in America

00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:20.519
 and people

00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:21.559
 everywhere in the

00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:22.220
 world nearly

00:35:22.220 --> 00:35:22.800
 in the western

00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:23.340
 world are

00:35:23.340 --> 00:35:24.059
 struggling so

00:35:24.059 --> 00:35:24.639
 much to eat

00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:26.460
 healthy food

00:35:26.460 --> 00:35:27.500
 and to live

00:35:27.500 --> 00:35:28.179
 healthy lives

00:35:28.179 --> 00:35:28.920
 it is a real

00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:29.539
 challenge

00:35:29.539 --> 00:35:30.840
 it's a real

00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:31.400
 epidemic

00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:33.599
 and maybe the

00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:34.159
 same could be

00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:34.539
 said of

00:35:34.539 --> 00:35:34.900
 fellowship

00:35:34.900 --> 00:35:35.639
 if we want

00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:36.500
 our fellowship

00:35:36.500 --> 00:35:36.960
 with each

00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:37.460
 other to be

00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:37.880
 pure

00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:39.119
 to be healthy

00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:39.940
 rather than

00:35:39.940 --> 00:35:40.659
 malnourished

00:35:40.659 --> 00:35:41.579
 and sick

00:35:41.579 --> 00:35:42.339
 we need

00:35:42.339 --> 00:35:42.699
 to feed

00:35:42.699 --> 00:35:43.059
 it this

00:35:43.059 --> 00:35:43.619
 good diet

00:35:43.619 --> 00:35:44.119
 of pure

00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:44.659
 division

00:35:44.659 --> 00:35:46.519
 pure decision

00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:47.559
 and pure

00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:48.339

00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:05.199
 like the

00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:06.019
 person who

00:36:06.019 --> 00:36:06.419
 looks in

00:36:06.419 --> 00:36:06.839
 the mirror

00:36:06.839 --> 00:36:07.500
 and
