WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.379
 Well, to get us started, I have a video I'd like to share, but also, I just want to encourage

00:00:07.379 --> 00:00:13.720
! any of you who have not gotten a study guide to pick one up, but I also want to encourage you that,

00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:22.120
 you know, it can be a little overwhelming. There's a lot in here, and this isn't meant to make you feel

00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:30.260
 overwhelmed, or to make you say, I've already missed so much, I won't be able to catch up,

00:00:30.460 --> 00:00:35.980
 so I guess I'm just not going to do it at all, okay? The point of this is to be a resource for you,

00:00:35.980 --> 00:00:42.240
 and to provide some helpful suggestions on how to put it to work in your life, but also

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:49.780
 lead you in a study through preparation and preparing yourselves for Sunday. So, don't let it be

00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:57.399
 a prison, meaning don't let it be your taskmaster that says, if you haven't measured up, then

00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:03.260
 there's no sense trying, okay? I want you to feel encouraged by this, not bound by this.

00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:11.400
 So, pick one up if you haven't already. If we need to print some more, we can always do that, but

00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:17.939
 this is meant to be a resource for you, and I trust that you'll be encouraged through your study

00:01:17.939 --> 00:01:23.019
 in the week in preparation for Sunday morning. But before we start this morning's message,

00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.000
 I want to begin with a short video.

00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:28.879
 The Big Red Tractor and the Little Village

00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:36.400
 Once upon a time, in a little field, in a happy little village, lived a big red tractor.

00:01:37.379 --> 00:01:42.879
 Every morning during plowing season, the village people, no, not those village people,

00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:49.560
 would come out and start the red tractor. Everyone loved the tractor and the powerful noises it would

00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:55.259
 make. They would cheer for the big red tractor because he would help them through plowing season.

00:01:56.119 --> 00:02:01.379
 The people worked together to move the tractor. Half of the villagers would push from behind,

00:02:01.819 --> 00:02:06.919
 while the other half would pull. They had been doing it this way for many generations.

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:16.680
 Some days they moved the tractor 10 feet. Some days they moved it 20. They did this for three whole months every year.

00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:23.719
 Because of their hard work, the villagers always managed to plow the field, just in time to plant,

00:02:24.219 --> 00:02:31.000
 and just before the rainy season. The rains would come to water the field. Then the sun would come out

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.419
 to make the crops grow. And then the people would come out and harvest all the new crops.

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.680
 It was just enough food to feed the entire village.

00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:48.360
 One day, Farmer Dave was cleaning out his attic. To his surprise, he found an old book

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:54.280
 tucked beneath his great grandpa's belongings. It was the owner's manual to the Big Red Tractor.

00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:59.800
 This book told about how the tractor was made and all the great things it could do.

00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:05.240
 Farmer Dave studied the book all night. He was shocked by what he was reading.

00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:12.600
 According to the book, if the Big Red Tractor was running properly, it could plow the whole field in just one day.

00:03:12.600 --> 00:03:18.360
 Early the next morning, Farmer Dave gathered the villagers to tell them the good news.

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.439
 But nobody believed him.

00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.040
 There's no way that tractor can move on its own, some said.

00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.799
 One lady said, it sounds like you're reading a fairy tale.

00:03:27.799 --> 00:03:29.879
 The people laughed at him.

00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:33.000
 This made Farmer Dave very sad.

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.680
 This didn't stop Farmer Dave from believing what he read.

00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:43.719
 Every night, while the other villagers were asleep, Farmer Dave spent time repairing the Big Red Tractor.

00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:48.280
 One night, Farmer Dave fixed the tractor completely.

00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:55.719
 He jumped on the tractor and had so much fun driving it, he ended up plowing the whole field in one night.

00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.719
 The next morning, the villagers woke up and were in shock.

00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.120
 The whole field had been plowed.

00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.280
 It's a miracle, one man said.

00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.319
 Maybe aliens came down, said an old woman.

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.680
 No, look over there, a little boy shouted.

00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.280
 It was Farmer Dave sleeping on the tractor.

00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.840
 It was then the people shouted.

00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:18.120
 He was right.

00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.120
 The tractor book is true.

00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:27.959
 The villagers ended up plowing many fields that year and harvesting way more food than they could ever eat.

00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:36.359
 They had so many leftover boxes of food that they began taking the boxes to other villages where food was scarce.

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:42.599
 The Big Red Tractor and his little village soon became famous throughout the land.

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:49.639
 They became known as the most generous and life-giving people in the whole wide world.

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:57.719
 The Big Red Tractor and his little village soon became famous throughout the land.

00:04:57.719 --> 00:05:00.120
 Of course, it's not about plowing fields.

00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.639
 It's not about pushing tractors.

00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:10.919
 Really, it's an analogy for what God desires to do in the hearts of his people

00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:17.719
 and what God desires to do in the life of this church, this body.

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:27.720
 And if all of us were to dream a little bit about what we wanted God to accomplish through us and for us,

00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:33.720
 it would be maybe similar to what we would see in this illustration.

00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.320
 That there would be worldwide impact.

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:43.879
 That there would be far-reaching touch from this church to the lives of the people,

00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:51.240
 not only in Columbus and not only in Ohio, but to the uttermost parts of the earth.

00:05:54.439 --> 00:06:01.719
 But I think so often what we find ourselves doing is we find ourselves pushing the tractor

00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.800
 because it's just what we've been taught to do.

00:06:06.760 --> 00:06:09.440
 It's what we have learned to do all along.

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.440
 It's what we know.

00:06:12.520 --> 00:06:15.680
 It's the systems that we've become familiar with.

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:23.380
 And if we just look into the rule book, the manual, as it were, for life,

00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:30.100
 if we look into the Word of God and find what does a spiritual life look like,

00:06:31.659 --> 00:06:35.420
 then God will begin to not only change those externals about us

00:06:35.420 --> 00:06:41.399
 so that there's enough for the year and enough for us in terms of spiritual sustenance,

00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:42.860
 but there is enough to share.

00:06:42.860 --> 00:06:50.620
 There's enough for us to have an impact in these ever-growing circles of individuals

00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:54.160
 and communities and nations around us.

00:06:55.579 --> 00:06:58.459
 What does it take to be that kind of people?

00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:01.980
 What does it take to be world changers?

00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.540
 Well, it begins with you individually.

00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:10.240
 It begins as God begins to change your heart personally.

00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.399
 And as we'll see this morning in our passage,

00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:21.979
 we'll see that great changes can happen not because of your greater efforts,

00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:27.060
 but great changes happen because of a greater yielding,

00:07:28.239 --> 00:07:29.959
 a greater surrender,

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:35.359
 and then a greater power that fills you for greater work.

00:07:36.459 --> 00:07:39.019
 Not that you are doing greater work on your own,

00:07:39.099 --> 00:07:42.620
 but that God is doing greater work through you.

00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.739
 I like what Phillips Brooks says.

00:07:46.899 --> 00:07:48.779
 I'm remembering this, so I might not get it right.

00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:49.259
 It says,

00:07:50.019 --> 00:07:50.779
 Phillips Brooks says,

00:07:50.919 --> 00:07:54.120
 Pray not for easy lives.

00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.859
 Pray to be stronger men.

00:07:57.939 --> 00:08:01.639
 Pray not for tasks equal to your strength,

00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.379
 but pray for power equal to the task.

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.879
 Pray not for easy lives.

00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:09.919
 Pray to be stronger men.

00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.299
 Pray not for tasks equal to your power.

00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.639
 Pray for power equal to the task.

00:08:20.939 --> 00:08:22.639
 That's the kind of prayer we need to have.

00:08:24.719 --> 00:08:29.060
 God, fill us with the power of the Spirit

00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:35.899
 so that you can set us on the track of accomplishing your work in this world.

00:08:35.899 --> 00:08:42.259
 Now that work, from a human standpoint, may seem kind of small

00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:49.959
 because we're pretty limited in our perspective of how God is going to use these things into the future.

00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:54.800
 So don't get this notion that we're going to be starting to do great things as a people,

00:08:55.019 --> 00:08:58.160
 but we're going to be aligning our hearts to a great God

00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:02.379
 and expecting God to do great things in His time and in His way.

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:09.220
 Turn with me, if you would, then, to 1 Thessalonians as we begin to look at this.

00:09:09.220 --> 00:09:17.620
 The Apostle Paul and Silas and Timothy had spent some time in this church,

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:18.879
 the church of Thessalonica.

00:09:19.580 --> 00:09:21.700
 It was an abbreviated time.

00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:25.220
 It wasn't the kind of time that Paul wanted to spend in this church

00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:27.740
 because he was ousted due to persecution.

00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:32.299
 But through the sovereignty of God, we understand that it was enough,

00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:34.100
 at least for the moment.

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:38.899
 And now Paul is writing to this church this little letter of 1 Thessalonians,

00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:45.060
 probably within 10 months to a year of having been in this place.

00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.060
 They're still spiritual babies.

00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.200
 They're still small in number,

00:09:52.220 --> 00:09:56.120
 experiencing a great deal of opposition and adversity as a church.

00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:04.480
 They don't have a pastor that we could identify, at least, from the passage.

00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.480
 And there are a lot of things that are kind of broken about this place,

00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:14.000
 certainly not the place, the church, that you would expect God to do great things through.

00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:21.879
 And yet, as we have looked briefly last week at the end of chapter 1,

00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:25.460
 and we'll take a longer look at it next week,

00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:33.639
 and as we saw the touch, the reach of this church in terms of loving their community in chapter 4,

00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:39.860
 we notice that God was doing extraordinary things through an unexpected group of people.

00:10:39.860 --> 00:10:47.820
 As any pastor would be concerned, Paul is greatly concerned,

00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:50.720
 or at least was greatly concerned about this church.

00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.000
 Greatly concerned about their longevity, their ability to endure.

00:10:56.180 --> 00:10:58.639
 And especially since he didn't have a chance to be there,

00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:05.159
 he was concerned about their ability to survive and to thrive as a church.

00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:11.360
 And so he's identified several things about them that have encouraged his own heart.

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:15.399
 Things that have identified them as a people of God.

00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.000
 And because they're a people of God,

00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.019
 he understands that what God has initiated,

00:11:23.219 --> 00:11:30.980
 God will continue to accomplish and to work in sustaining that ministry.

00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:39.159
 We saw last week that they have a work of faith and a labor of love and a steadfastness of hope.

00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:44.139
 Three core characteristics of any true spiritual people.

00:11:45.659 --> 00:11:51.659
 And this morning, we're going to look at a church that demonstrates spiritual power.

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:57.919
 Let me read for us, beginning in verse 3, and I'll read through verse 7.

00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.959
 And we'll concentrate our time on verses 4 to 7 today.

00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:04.899
 It says this,

00:12:04.899 --> 00:12:09.159
 We give thanks to God always for all of you,

00:12:09.899 --> 00:12:12.120
 constantly mentioning you in our prayers,

00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:18.199
 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love

00:12:18.199 --> 00:12:21.980
 and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:27.039
 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you

00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:31.519
 because our gospel came to you not only in word,

00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:37.079
 but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction.

00:12:38.719 --> 00:12:42.279
 You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake?

00:12:43.019 --> 00:12:45.779
 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord.

00:12:46.779 --> 00:12:53.159
 For you received the word in much affliction with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

00:12:53.159 --> 00:13:00.919
 so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

00:13:02.179 --> 00:13:07.039
 Here we find a church that is continuing to demonstrate spiritual fruit.

00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:13.539
 Now, this morning, the work of the Holy Spirit in their life creating spiritual power,

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:18.079
 producing an energy that can only come from God.

00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:23.620
 This happens, as we find from our passage this morning,

00:13:23.700 --> 00:13:26.660
 because they were a word-filled church.

00:13:27.520 --> 00:13:29.620
 What does a word-filled church look like?

00:13:29.740 --> 00:13:35.379
 Well, we begin to fill this description out for us as we continue to look this morning.

00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:41.540
 A word-filled church will be a church that is filled with the Holy Spirit.

00:13:41.539 --> 00:13:47.339
 They didn't know much, but what they knew, they applied.

00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.740
 And it produced a spiritual people.

00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:58.299
 A spiritual people is a spirit-filled people.

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:02.379
 Not a people that is producing a certain set of actions,

00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:07.519
 a certain set of standards that are marking their life,

00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:12.559
 but a spiritual people are a people who are filled by the Holy Spirit.

00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.120
 That should be obvious to us.

00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.799
 And certainly that was true of this church.

00:14:19.939 --> 00:14:26.500
 I want to look, first of all, at the work of the Holy Spirit in saving this people.

00:14:27.620 --> 00:14:31.439
 When Paul is addressing this group of individuals,

00:14:31.659 --> 00:14:34.100
 he begins where it all starts.

00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:36.700
 He says there in verse 4,

00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:41.800
 For we know, brothers loved by God, that He has chosen you.

00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:44.840
 Because our gospel came to you,

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:47.639
 not only in word, but also in power,

00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:49.399
 and in the Holy Spirit.

00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.680
 So when Paul is talking about power,

00:14:53.040 --> 00:14:54.800
 what is he referring to?

00:14:54.899 --> 00:14:56.820
 What is he talking about?

00:14:56.920 --> 00:14:58.639
 What is important to him?

00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.019
 What are the marks of spiritual power

00:15:01.019 --> 00:15:04.379
 and the spirit-filled life that he is looking for?

00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.779
 The gospel accompanied with power.

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:12.639
 And by the way, the Greek term here is the word dunamai,

00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.220
 which is the word we get dynamite from.

00:15:15.340 --> 00:15:17.539
 That's the kind of explosive power

00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:22.159
 that was beginning to show up in the midst of this church.

00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:31.500
 Jesus, of course, is interested in this same kind of power,

00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.240
 and Jesus' life demonstrated this kind of power.

00:15:35.839 --> 00:15:39.639
 Jesus also, in communicating to His disciples,

00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.439
 He wanted them to understand the significance of the Holy Spirit's power

00:15:43.439 --> 00:15:45.139
 in the work of salvation.

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:50.939
 And if you remember, in the first chapter of Acts,

00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:51.939
 Acts chapter 1,

00:15:53.319 --> 00:15:55.399
 Jesus has risen from the dead,

00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:59.580
 and it's the time between His resurrection and His ascension.

00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:02.299
 And there He is with His disciples,

00:16:02.439 --> 00:16:03.980
 having a conversation with them,

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:09.419
 and they have received instruction from Jesus for three years,

00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:11.860
 they have observed His life,

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.000
 they have witnessed His teaching,

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.500
 they have seen the evidence of God's power working through Him.

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:21.980
 He's even sent them on at least a couple of different occasions

00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:25.940
 to go out and to be part of gospel ministry.

00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:28.679
 But there in chapter 1,

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:32.799
 instead of Jesus sending His disciples directly into Jerusalem

00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.299
 to get busy with gospel proclamation,

00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:39.740
 He tells them it needs to begin a different way.

00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:43.580
 He has commissioned them to ministry,

00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:46.560
 and to preach throughout the nations,

00:16:46.740 --> 00:16:49.139
 but there was something that needed to happen first.

00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:51.780
 He tells them in Acts chapter 1,

00:16:52.280 --> 00:16:52.920
 He says,

00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:54.960
 while He was staying with them,

00:16:55.040 --> 00:16:57.980
 He ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem,

00:16:58.680 --> 00:17:03.560
 but to wait for the promise from the Father.

00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:08.099
 because as we find in Acts chapter 1,

00:17:08.159 --> 00:17:10.639
 Jesus goes on to explain,

00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.940
 you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you,

00:17:15.399 --> 00:17:17.740
 and then you can be my witnesses.

00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.079
 But you must first wait in Jerusalem

00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.159
 for the Spirit to come,

00:17:25.619 --> 00:17:28.359
 and then you can begin this work

00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:32.240
 of gospel proclamation and kingdom building.

00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.979
 Jesus wanted to reinforce to His disciples

00:17:36.979 --> 00:17:39.439
 the significance of the Holy Spirit's work

00:17:39.439 --> 00:17:40.719
 in this initial,

00:17:40.819 --> 00:17:43.919
 even the initial phases of church planting.

00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:48.960
 because the Holy Spirit is instrumental

00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.539
 to lead us to salvation.

00:17:52.620 --> 00:17:54.000
 And I want to talk about just,

00:17:54.320 --> 00:17:55.820
 I think there are five things here

00:17:55.820 --> 00:18:00.200
 that address the specific work of the Holy Spirit

00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.980
 in relationship to salvation in our lives.

00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:06.460
 That's why Paul is convinced

00:18:06.460 --> 00:18:08.839
 that they have the Spirit living within

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:10.860
 because of seeing His work,

00:18:11.360 --> 00:18:14.779
 His power showing up in them and for them.

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.400
 First, His work of illumination.

00:18:19.259 --> 00:18:21.559
 His work of illumination.

00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:25.559
 Now this is all in addition to our message this morning.

00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.079
 And so I want to help inform our hearts,

00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.839
 kind of give us the theology

00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:32.559
 of the power of the Holy Spirit

00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:36.619
 as we're working through this study together.

00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:38.919
 First, I want us to understand

00:18:38.919 --> 00:18:41.740
 the Spirit's work of illumination

00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:46.819
 from 2 Corinthians 4, verses 3 to 6.

00:18:47.379 --> 00:18:48.779
 I would encourage you to turn there.

00:18:48.879 --> 00:18:51.419
 Those of you who have a hard time turning pages,

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.099
 I put it up there on the board too.

00:18:53.159 --> 00:18:55.419
 It may be difficult to read,

00:18:56.019 --> 00:18:57.679
 but here it is.

00:18:59.019 --> 00:19:00.919
 Paul is speaking to the church of Corinth,

00:19:00.919 --> 00:19:01.720
 and he says,

00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.539
 And even if our gospel is veiled,

00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:06.740
 it is veiled to those who are perishing.

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.200
 In their case, the God of this world

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:15.019
 has blinded the minds of unbelievers

00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:18.700
 to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel

00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:20.480
 of the glory of Christ,

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:23.059
 who is the image of God.

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:51.200
 There is a war that is taking place in this life.

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.720
 It is a cosmic battle, as it were,

00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:55.980
 between the forces of Satan

00:19:55.980 --> 00:19:58.860
 and the forces of God.

00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.580
 And the blindness that is settled on the hearts of the world

00:20:03.580 --> 00:20:05.100
 is a blindness that is created

00:20:05.100 --> 00:20:08.840
 because Satan has blinded the minds of those who believe not.

00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:13.220
 But for this church of Thessalonica,

00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:16.799
 those, as he describes in verse 4,

00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:21.459
 as those who have been chosen by God,

00:20:21.699 --> 00:20:23.779
 God does a work in their life

00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:28.220
 to shine the light of the gospel into their hearts

00:20:28.220 --> 00:20:32.659
 so now they can see the glory of Christ.

00:20:32.660 --> 00:20:35.220
 Now they can begin to understand

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:37.400
 the significance of the gospel.

00:20:38.540 --> 00:20:42.400
 It is a serious problem that we face.

00:20:42.700 --> 00:20:44.360
 Paul describes this in other places.

00:20:45.040 --> 00:20:47.540
 He says we're dead in our trespasses and sins.

00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:52.540
 He says our hearts are darkened without understanding.

00:20:53.220 --> 00:20:54.660
 We're full of ignorance.

00:20:55.380 --> 00:20:56.880
 We have hardness of heart.

00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:02.600
 It is not just a dilemma that becomes difficult to overcome.

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:07.380
 It is impossible without the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit

00:21:07.380 --> 00:21:10.120
 shining the gospel light into our hearts.

00:21:11.380 --> 00:21:14.380
 The Holy Spirit is the one, through his power,

00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:17.700
 to shine the light of the gospel into our hearts.

00:21:18.860 --> 00:21:21.520
 Second, it's a work of regeneration.

00:21:22.460 --> 00:21:24.280
 Not just a work of illumination,

00:21:24.280 --> 00:21:25.940
 but a work of regeneration.

00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:32.220
 We find in the account of Jesus speaking with Nicodemus

00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:33.980
 there in John chapter 3,

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:37.660
 we see this exchange between this scribe,

00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:40.800
 a leader of the Pharisees there in Jerusalem,

00:21:41.020 --> 00:21:43.040
 and Jesus having this conversation.

00:21:44.320 --> 00:21:46.740
 And in this conversation, Jesus says,

00:21:46.840 --> 00:21:48.140
 Truly, truly, I say to you,

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:50.740
 unless one is born again,

00:21:51.060 --> 00:21:52.740
 he cannot see the kingdom of God.

00:21:53.580 --> 00:21:55.840
 That which is born of the flesh is flesh.

00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.079
 That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

00:21:58.539 --> 00:22:00.539
 Do not marvel that I say to you,

00:22:00.879 --> 00:22:03.019
 you must be born again.

00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.179
 Regeneration is just a big word for being born again,

00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:10.259
 being renewed, rebirthed.

00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:13.879
 There is a spiritual birth that takes place,

00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:15.559
 but there's also, excuse me,

00:22:15.619 --> 00:22:16.899
 there's a physical birth that takes place,

00:22:16.980 --> 00:22:19.059
 but also a spiritual birth that happens

00:22:19.059 --> 00:22:22.960
 only because of the Holy Spirit's work in a heart

00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.220
 in creating spiritual life.

00:22:27.139 --> 00:22:30.039
 Titus 3.5 explains it this way,

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.599
 not by works of righteousness which we have done,

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.740
 but according to his mercy he saved us

00:22:35.740 --> 00:22:37.799
 by the washing of regeneration

00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.859
 and renewal of the Holy Spirit.

00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:43.740
 That makes sense, right?

00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:47.359
 Because according to the words of Jesus,

00:22:47.699 --> 00:22:51.740
 you can't create in human terms spiritual life.

00:22:52.919 --> 00:22:55.399
 Spiritual life can only be created

00:22:55.399 --> 00:22:57.319
 by the Holy Spirit,

00:22:57.559 --> 00:22:59.939
 by a divine work on a life

00:22:59.939 --> 00:23:02.319
 to produce rebirth,

00:23:03.639 --> 00:23:06.479
 new birth, spiritual life.

00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.539
 We also see the work of conviction.

00:23:11.420 --> 00:23:12.700
 Work of conviction.

00:23:14.019 --> 00:23:16.519
 We find that in John chapter 16,

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.079
 7 to 11.

00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:22.680
 Jesus is spending the final moments of his life

00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.059
 before his crucifixion with his disciples,

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:26.860
 and he wants them to understand,

00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:28.940
 guys, just because I'm going away,

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.059
 this is good for you.

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:31.920
 I'm going to die.

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:33.160
 I'm going to rise again,

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:35.059
 and I'm going to depart from you,

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:36.899
 but that's good for you.

00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:37.700
 Here's why.

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:41.059
 He says in verse 7,

00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:42.759
 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth.

00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:45.359
 It's to your advantage that I go away,

00:23:46.299 --> 00:23:47.859
 for if I do not go away,

00:23:48.099 --> 00:23:50.000
 the helper will not come to you.

00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:51.539
 But if I go,

00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:53.359
 I will send him to you,

00:23:53.419 --> 00:23:55.099
 and when he comes,

00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:57.919
 he will convict the world concerning sin

00:23:57.919 --> 00:24:00.179
 and righteousness and judgment.

00:24:01.019 --> 00:24:01.819
 Concerning sin,

00:24:01.899 --> 00:24:03.259
 because they do not believe in me.

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:04.779
 Concerning righteousness,

00:24:04.779 --> 00:24:06.000
 because I go to the Father,

00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:08.500
 and you will see me no longer

00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:10.139
 concerning judgment,

00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:13.660
 because the ruler of this world is judged.

00:24:14.940 --> 00:24:16.940
 See, the Holy Spirit is also responsible

00:24:16.940 --> 00:24:19.180
 for convicting hearts

00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:22.099
 in helping to confront us

00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:23.859
 with our own wickedness,

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:24.960
 our own ungodliness,

00:24:25.619 --> 00:24:27.559
 how far away we are

00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:28.920
 from the absolute standard

00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:30.599
 that God has set for us,

00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.359
 the mark of purity and holiness.

00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:35.740
 And the convicting work

00:24:35.740 --> 00:24:36.559
 of the Holy Spirit

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:38.179
 challenges our hearts

00:24:38.179 --> 00:24:39.899
 to see it for what it is.

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:42.500
 And that is accompanied then

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:44.759
 by the work of repentance,

00:24:44.979 --> 00:24:45.799
 which comes next.

00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:47.779
 The work of repentance.

00:24:49.199 --> 00:24:49.719
 You see,

00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.019
 just because conviction is in place,

00:24:53.699 --> 00:24:55.019
 it needs to be accompanied

00:24:55.019 --> 00:24:56.519
 by the work of God

00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:58.439
 in leading us to repentance

00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:00.880
 for salvation to actually occur.

00:25:02.320 --> 00:25:03.740
 2 Timothy 2,

00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.000
 verses 24 to 26

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:06.920
 help us with this.

00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:09.360
 And the Lord's servant

00:25:09.360 --> 00:25:11.019
 must not be quarrelsome,

00:25:11.539 --> 00:25:13.000
 but kind to everyone,

00:25:13.220 --> 00:25:14.059
 able to teach,

00:25:14.500 --> 00:25:15.820
 patiently enduring evil,

00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:17.240
 correcting his opponents

00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:18.380
 with gentleness.

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:21.500
 God may perhaps grant them

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:22.360
 repentance,

00:25:23.080 --> 00:25:24.480
 leading to a knowledge

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:25.380
 of the truth.

00:25:25.380 --> 00:25:27.800
 and they may come

00:25:27.800 --> 00:25:28.700
 to their senses

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:29.880
 and escape

00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:31.640
 from the snare of the devil

00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:33.760
 after being captured

00:25:33.760 --> 00:25:34.900
 by him to do his will.

00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:37.320
 Make no mistake,

00:25:38.140 --> 00:25:39.120
 repentance happens

00:25:39.120 --> 00:25:40.040
 in the work

00:25:40.040 --> 00:25:41.000
 of an individual

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:43.320
 because of the work

00:25:43.320 --> 00:25:44.240
 of the Holy Spirit

00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:45.960
 that's conditioning their hearts

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:47.020
 in giving them

00:25:47.020 --> 00:25:48.840
 the gift of repentance.

00:25:50.420 --> 00:25:52.700
 That God may perhaps

00:25:52.700 --> 00:25:53.820
 grant them repentance.

00:25:53.819 --> 00:25:55.919
 If you have come

00:25:55.919 --> 00:25:56.859
 to the point this morning

00:25:56.859 --> 00:25:58.179
 where the convicting work

00:25:58.179 --> 00:25:58.779
 of the Holy Spirit

00:25:58.779 --> 00:26:00.279
 has challenged you

00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:00.899
 about sin

00:26:00.899 --> 00:26:02.159
 and then led you

00:26:02.159 --> 00:26:03.919
 to a place of repentance

00:26:03.919 --> 00:26:05.079
 and asking for forgiveness,

00:26:05.399 --> 00:26:06.359
 that is a work of God

00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:06.839
 in your life.

00:26:07.679 --> 00:26:08.460
 You can praise him

00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:08.759
 for that

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:10.759
 because that's the Holy Spirit

00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:11.639
 working in you.

00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:13.119
 And that's why

00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:14.359
 the Apostle Paul

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:15.599
 is so ecstatic

00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:16.779
 at this point

00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:18.439
 because he sees

00:26:18.439 --> 00:26:19.339
 the mark of God

00:26:19.339 --> 00:26:20.439
 in leading a group

00:26:20.439 --> 00:26:21.159
 of individuals

00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:22.620
 to a place

00:26:22.620 --> 00:26:23.840
 not only of conviction

00:26:23.840 --> 00:26:25.519
 but a place of repentance.

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:27.380
 And he realizes

00:26:27.380 --> 00:26:28.420
 only God can do that.

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:31.779
 There are several examples

00:26:31.779 --> 00:26:34.320
 throughout the New Testament

00:26:34.320 --> 00:26:36.340
 where we find conviction

00:26:36.340 --> 00:26:36.940
 show up

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:38.620
 but no repentance.

00:26:40.620 --> 00:26:41.680
 For example,

00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:44.019
 in Acts chapter 7

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:46.460
 we see this martyrdom

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:47.039
 of Stephen

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:48.819
 and it says

00:26:48.819 --> 00:26:50.059
 as Stephen was speaking

00:26:50.059 --> 00:26:51.299
 to the people

00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:52.339
 in his hearing

00:26:52.339 --> 00:26:53.720
 and confessing

00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:54.759
 who Jesus was,

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:56.339
 when they heard

00:26:56.339 --> 00:26:57.200
 these things

00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:57.859
 it says

00:26:57.859 --> 00:26:58.660
 they were cut

00:26:58.660 --> 00:26:59.920
 to the heart.

00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:01.660
 And that word,

00:27:01.819 --> 00:27:02.359
 that phrase

00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:03.200
 cut to the heart

00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:04.420
 is the same phrase

00:27:04.420 --> 00:27:05.480
 that's used

00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:06.079
 of those

00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:07.240
 on the day of Pentecost

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:08.359
 who having been

00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:09.559
 convicted of sin

00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:10.440
 then actually

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.339
 also received

00:27:11.339 --> 00:27:11.639
 the gift

00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:12.720
 of repentance

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:14.920
 and became

00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:15.540
 converted

00:27:15.540 --> 00:27:16.780
 and experienced

00:27:16.780 --> 00:27:17.540
 new life

00:27:17.540 --> 00:27:18.700
 but not here

00:27:18.700 --> 00:27:19.540
 in chapter 7.

00:27:20.580 --> 00:27:21.400
 In chapter 7

00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:22.080
 they're convicted

00:27:22.080 --> 00:27:22.720
 of sin

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:24.860
 but instead

00:27:24.860 --> 00:27:26.020
 of repenting

00:27:26.020 --> 00:27:26.440
 it says

00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:27.280
 they gnashed

00:27:27.280 --> 00:27:27.700
 at him

00:27:27.700 --> 00:27:28.460
 with their teeth.

00:27:29.380 --> 00:27:30.160
 They cried out

00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:31.200
 with a loud voice

00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:31.800
 and stopped

00:27:31.800 --> 00:27:32.400
 their ears

00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:33.259
 and rushed

00:27:33.259 --> 00:27:33.759
 on him

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:34.800
 and cast him

00:27:34.800 --> 00:27:35.400
 out of the city

00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:37.100
 and threw stones

00:27:37.100 --> 00:27:37.460
 at him.

00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:40.020
 Just because

00:27:40.020 --> 00:27:40.940
 conviction

00:27:40.940 --> 00:27:41.539
 is present

00:27:41.539 --> 00:27:42.200
 doesn't mean

00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:43.019
 repentance

00:27:43.019 --> 00:27:43.820
 will be present.

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:46.100
 In Acts chapter 24

00:27:46.100 --> 00:27:46.600
 and 25

00:27:46.600 --> 00:27:47.180
 we see

00:27:47.180 --> 00:27:47.880
 the story

00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:48.440
 of Felix

00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:49.860
 and of King Agrippa.

00:27:51.140 --> 00:27:51.400
 Felix

00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:52.059
 who would often

00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:52.980
 listen to the apostle

00:27:52.980 --> 00:27:53.460
 Paul

00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:54.440
 when Paul

00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:55.299
 was a prisoner

00:27:55.299 --> 00:27:56.100
 there in Caesarea

00:27:56.100 --> 00:27:56.720
 and it says

00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:58.039
 Felix and his wife

00:27:58.039 --> 00:27:58.600
 Drusilla

00:27:58.600 --> 00:28:00.059
 would send for Paul

00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:00.720
 and hear him

00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:01.500
 concerning the faith

00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:02.000
 in Christ

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:02.820
 and Felix

00:28:02.820 --> 00:28:04.140
 was afraid.

00:28:05.940 --> 00:28:06.860
 There was

00:28:06.860 --> 00:28:07.460
 a sense

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:08.840
 of awe

00:28:08.840 --> 00:28:09.539
 and

00:28:09.539 --> 00:28:12.299
 pressure

00:28:12.299 --> 00:28:13.700
 this burden

00:28:13.700 --> 00:28:14.380
 that he felt

00:28:14.380 --> 00:28:15.620
 this convicting

00:28:15.620 --> 00:28:16.200
 work

00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:16.480
 that

00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:18.500
 was taking place

00:28:18.500 --> 00:28:19.019
 in his life

00:28:19.019 --> 00:28:19.460
 but it never

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:19.900
 led him

00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:20.299
 at least

00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:21.299
 as far as we know

00:28:21.299 --> 00:28:22.279
 to a place

00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:23.200
 of repentance.

00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:25.220
 And then finally

00:28:25.220 --> 00:28:26.940
 there is a work

00:28:26.940 --> 00:28:27.640
 of sealing

00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:29.019
 a work

00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:30.019
 of sealing

00:28:30.019 --> 00:28:31.700
 in Ephesians

00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:32.460
 chapter 1

00:28:32.460 --> 00:28:33.779
 verse 13

00:28:33.779 --> 00:28:35.039
 the work

00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:35.779
 of sealing

00:28:35.779 --> 00:28:37.480
 it says this

00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:38.200
 in him

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:39.319
 you also

00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:40.779
 when you heard

00:28:40.779 --> 00:28:41.659
 the word of truth

00:28:41.659 --> 00:28:42.700
 the gospel

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:43.619
 of your salvation

00:28:43.619 --> 00:28:44.819
 and believed

00:28:44.819 --> 00:28:45.299
 in him

00:28:45.299 --> 00:28:47.019
 were sealed

00:28:47.019 --> 00:28:48.420
 with the promised

00:28:48.420 --> 00:28:49.259
 Holy Spirit

00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:50.879
 who is the guarantee

00:28:50.879 --> 00:28:51.700
 of our inheritance

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:53.299
 until we acquire

00:28:53.299 --> 00:28:54.339
 possession of it

00:28:54.339 --> 00:28:55.539
 to the praise

00:28:55.539 --> 00:28:56.579
 of his glory.

00:28:57.839 --> 00:28:58.059
 You see

00:28:58.059 --> 00:28:58.759
 the Holy Spirit

00:28:58.759 --> 00:28:59.859
 also comes

00:28:59.859 --> 00:29:00.819
 and marks

00:29:00.819 --> 00:29:01.339
 a life

00:29:01.339 --> 00:29:02.639
 of every convert

00:29:02.639 --> 00:29:03.819
 every follower

00:29:03.819 --> 00:29:04.480
 of Jesus

00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:05.299
 who has

00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:06.059
 repented

00:29:06.059 --> 00:29:06.839
 of their sin

00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:07.620
 who has

00:29:07.620 --> 00:29:08.640
 trusted in

00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:09.180
 Jesus

00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:10.319
 through faith

00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:11.380
 believes that

00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:12.120
 he is the only

00:29:12.120 --> 00:29:13.019
 way of salvation

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:14.059
 the Holy Spirit

00:29:14.059 --> 00:29:14.599
 comes

00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:16.039
 marks their life

00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:17.000
 stamps them

00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:17.440
 with a new

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:17.940
 identity

00:29:17.940 --> 00:29:19.460
 and seals

00:29:19.460 --> 00:29:19.920
 them

00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:20.860
 till the time

00:29:20.860 --> 00:29:21.319
 that Jesus

00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:21.880
 comes

00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:22.819
 to receive

00:29:22.819 --> 00:29:23.539
 them to glory.

00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:25.640
 All of the things

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:26.360
 that the Holy Spirit

00:29:26.360 --> 00:29:26.660
 does

00:29:26.660 --> 00:29:27.900
 as a work

00:29:27.900 --> 00:29:28.599
 of God

00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:29.519
 for us

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:31.039
 in salvation.

00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:33.640
 I want to spend

00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:34.080
 some time

00:29:34.080 --> 00:29:34.880
 now transitioning

00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.140
 to his

00:29:37.140 --> 00:29:38.100
 sanctifying

00:29:38.100 --> 00:29:38.940
 power

00:29:38.940 --> 00:29:40.740
 the sanctifying

00:29:40.740 --> 00:29:41.340
 power

00:29:41.340 --> 00:29:42.700
 of the Holy Spirit

00:29:42.700 --> 00:29:43.880
 we see that

00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:44.620
 now in the

00:29:44.620 --> 00:29:46.100
 following verses

00:29:46.100 --> 00:29:48.600
 verses

00:29:48.600 --> 00:29:49.720
 six

00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:50.640
 and seven

00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:54.120
 it says

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:55.059
 and you

00:29:55.059 --> 00:29:55.500
 became

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:56.279
 imitators

00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:57.639
 of us

00:29:57.639 --> 00:29:58.779
 and of the

00:29:58.779 --> 00:29:59.039
 Lord

00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:00.339
 for you

00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:01.199
 received

00:30:01.199 --> 00:30:02.219
 the word

00:30:02.219 --> 00:30:03.159
 in much

00:30:03.159 --> 00:30:03.719
 affliction

00:30:03.719 --> 00:30:04.179
 with the

00:30:04.179 --> 00:30:04.599
 joy

00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:05.559
 of the

00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:06.159
 Holy Spirit

00:30:06.159 --> 00:30:08.419
 the sanctifying

00:30:08.419 --> 00:30:09.179
 work

00:30:09.179 --> 00:30:09.799
 of the Holy

00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:10.239
 Spirit

00:30:10.239 --> 00:30:11.959
 is the work

00:30:11.959 --> 00:30:12.599
 of God

00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:13.599
 in us

00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:14.759
 this would

00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:15.279
 differentiate

00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:15.739
 itself

00:30:15.739 --> 00:30:16.039
 from what

00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:16.259
 we're going

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:16.539
 to look at

00:30:16.539 --> 00:30:16.919
 next

00:30:16.919 --> 00:30:18.000
 the strengthening

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:18.559
 power

00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:19.279
 of the Spirit

00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:20.439
 which is

00:30:20.439 --> 00:30:21.039
 the work

00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:21.519
 of God

00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:22.359
 through us

00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:23.339
 for others

00:30:23.339 --> 00:30:24.000
 okay

00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:25.299
 we'll get there

00:30:25.299 --> 00:30:25.879
 in a moment

00:30:25.879 --> 00:30:27.059
 but I want to

00:30:27.059 --> 00:30:27.819
 focus on the

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:28.799
 sanctifying work

00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:29.659
 of the Spirit

00:30:29.659 --> 00:30:30.959
 sanctifying power

00:30:30.959 --> 00:30:31.719
 of the Spirit

00:30:31.719 --> 00:30:33.059
 which is the

00:30:33.059 --> 00:30:33.879
 power of God

00:30:33.879 --> 00:30:34.519
 for you

00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:35.899
 what does

00:30:35.899 --> 00:30:36.799
 God do

00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:37.799
 for you

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.019
 in sanctification

00:30:41.019 --> 00:30:42.740
 the work

00:30:42.740 --> 00:30:43.379
 of sanctification

00:30:43.379 --> 00:30:44.139
 is the work

00:30:44.139 --> 00:30:44.619
 of making

00:30:44.619 --> 00:30:45.199
 you look

00:30:45.199 --> 00:30:45.859
 more

00:30:45.859 --> 00:30:46.859
 like Jesus

00:30:46.859 --> 00:30:48.819
 it's really

00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:49.379
 this work

00:30:49.379 --> 00:30:50.979
 of becoming

00:30:50.979 --> 00:30:51.939
 imitators

00:30:51.939 --> 00:30:53.039
 not only

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:53.659
 of those

00:30:53.659 --> 00:30:54.819
 who represent

00:30:54.819 --> 00:30:55.500
 Christ

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:56.559
 and speak

00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:57.079
 for Christ

00:30:57.079 --> 00:30:58.339
 but especially

00:30:58.339 --> 00:30:59.699
 as Paul points

00:30:59.699 --> 00:31:00.419
 attention to

00:31:00.419 --> 00:31:01.159
 you became

00:31:01.159 --> 00:31:01.599
 imitators

00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:02.299
 of us

00:31:02.299 --> 00:31:03.359
 and of

00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:04.019
 the Lord

00:31:04.019 --> 00:31:06.879
 the supreme

00:31:06.879 --> 00:31:07.839
 example

00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:08.359
 that we look

00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:08.879
 to is the

00:31:08.879 --> 00:31:09.359
 example

00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:10.359
 of Jesus

00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:12.159
 the supreme

00:31:12.159 --> 00:31:12.740
 pattern

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:13.539
 for righteousness

00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:14.879
 the supreme

00:31:14.879 --> 00:31:16.139
 example

00:31:16.139 --> 00:31:17.019
 of how we

00:31:17.019 --> 00:31:17.619
 should live

00:31:17.619 --> 00:31:18.599
 as people

00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:19.319
 is found

00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:19.819
 in him

00:31:19.819 --> 00:31:21.899
 but we know

00:31:21.899 --> 00:31:22.319
 something

00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:23.539
 about the

00:31:23.539 --> 00:31:24.599
 advantage

00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:26.339
 of personal

00:31:26.339 --> 00:31:27.299
 life examples

00:31:27.299 --> 00:31:27.720
 people

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:29.079
 right in our

00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:29.700
 context

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:30.079
 that God

00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:30.819
 has used

00:31:30.819 --> 00:31:31.779
 to help us

00:31:31.779 --> 00:31:32.779
 see Jesus

00:31:32.779 --> 00:31:33.180
 better

00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:35.379
 so who has

00:31:35.379 --> 00:31:35.740
 done that

00:31:35.740 --> 00:31:36.139
 for you

00:31:36.139 --> 00:31:38.079
 who has

00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:38.379
 been

00:31:38.379 --> 00:31:39.960
 this replica

00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:41.079
 of Jesus

00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:41.940
 for you

00:31:41.940 --> 00:31:43.279
 who has

00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:43.559
 God

00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:43.980
 used

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:44.340
 through the

00:31:44.340 --> 00:31:44.660
 course

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:44.980
 of your

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:45.340
 life

00:31:45.340 --> 00:31:46.539
 to help

00:31:46.539 --> 00:31:47.140
 emulate

00:31:47.140 --> 00:31:48.579
 the beauty

00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:49.380
 of the

00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:49.840
 gospel

00:31:49.840 --> 00:31:50.799
 right there

00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:51.299
 in front

00:31:51.299 --> 00:31:51.700
 of you

00:31:51.700 --> 00:31:53.460
 perhaps

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:54.279
 your parents

00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:55.640
 your grandparents

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:56.980
 maybe an aunt

00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:57.539
 or an uncle

00:31:57.539 --> 00:31:59.279
 for me

00:31:59.279 --> 00:31:59.740
 personally

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:00.100
 of course

00:32:00.100 --> 00:32:00.440
 it was

00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:01.180
 my mom

00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:01.559
 and dad

00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:01.840
 who had

00:32:01.840 --> 00:32:02.360
 a tremendous

00:32:02.360 --> 00:32:03.220
 influence

00:32:03.220 --> 00:32:03.860
 in my life

00:32:03.860 --> 00:32:04.819
 but I think

00:32:04.819 --> 00:32:05.079
 of

00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:06.920
 three

00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:07.680
 specific

00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:08.180
 names

00:32:08.180 --> 00:32:09.680
 first I

00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:10.000
 think of

00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:10.680
 Jean Fisher

00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:12.680
 Jean Fisher

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:18.000
 she was

00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:18.380
 teaching

00:32:18.380 --> 00:32:18.960

00:32:20.560 --> 00:32:21.519
 department

00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:22.940
 but she

00:32:22.940 --> 00:32:23.560
 was also

00:32:23.560 --> 00:32:24.100
 the

00:32:24.100 --> 00:32:24.620
 superintendent

00:32:24.620 --> 00:32:25.880
 of my

00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:31.860
 how is

00:32:31.860 --> 00:32:32.019
 it

00:32:32.019 --> 00:32:32.560
 possible

00:32:35.620 --> 00:32:36.060
 herself

00:32:36.060 --> 00:32:36.480
 enough

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:36.860
 to come

00:32:36.860 --> 00:32:37.240
 down

 to the

00:32:49.100 --> 00:32:49.779
 years

00:32:49.779 --> 00:32:50.820

 consistently

00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:52.779
 loved

00:32:52.779 --> 00:32:53.220
 on

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:53.660
 the

00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:54.040
 students

00:32:54.040 --> 00:32:54.440
 that she

 was

00:32:54.740 --> 00:32:55.300
 teaching

 Jean

00:32:57.660 --> 00:32:58.100
 Fisher's

00:32:58.100 --> 00:32:58.500
 example

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:58.980
 I came

00:32:58.980 --> 00:32:59.340
 to love

00:32:59.340 --> 00:32:59.720
 Jesus

00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:00.140
 more

00:33:00.140 --> 00:33:01.720
 what a

00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:02.019
 great

00:33:02.019 --> 00:33:02.540

00:33:02.540 --> 00:33:03.180
 to me

00:33:03.180 --> 00:33:05.320
 I

00:33:05.320 --> 00:33:06.320
 also

00:33:06.320 --> 00:33:06.680
 think

00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:06.940
 of

00:33:06.940 --> 00:33:08.700
 someone

00:33:08.700 --> 00:33:09.320
 named

00:33:09.320 --> 00:33:10.120
 Mr.

00:33:14.360 --> 00:33:14.660

00:33:14.660 --> 00:33:15.380

 I was

00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:17.100
 in a

00:33:17.100 --> 00:33:18.220

00:33:18.220 --> 00:33:19.060

00:33:19.060 --> 00:33:19.580
 with them

00:33:19.580 --> 00:33:20.019
 and they

00:33:20.019 --> 00:33:20.600
 were my

00:33:20.600 --> 00:33:21.279
 grandparents

00:33:22.860 --> 00:33:23.180
 from that

00:33:23.180 --> 00:33:23.620
 point on

00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:27.979
 well

00:33:27.979 --> 00:33:28.799
 Grandpa

00:33:34.059 --> 00:33:34.699
 University

00:33:34.699 --> 00:33:35.719
 very

00:33:35.719 --> 00:33:37.000
 brilliant

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:37.439
 man

00:33:37.439 --> 00:33:38.000
 but also

00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:38.759
 tremendously

00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:39.619
 humble

00:33:39.619 --> 00:33:40.879
 I would

00:33:40.879 --> 00:33:41.459
 often go

00:33:41.459 --> 00:33:41.939
 over to

00:33:41.939 --> 00:33:42.399
 their home

00:33:42.399 --> 00:33:43.179
 I would

00:33:43.179 --> 00:33:43.539
 often

00:33:43.539 --> 00:33:44.079
 have

00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:44.879
 conversations

00:33:44.879 --> 00:33:45.599
 with

00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:46.339
 Grandpa

00:33:46.339 --> 00:33:46.679
 Durham

00:33:46.679 --> 00:33:47.059
 about

00:33:47.059 --> 00:33:48.099
 life

00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:48.619
 and

00:33:48.619 --> 00:33:49.659
 learning

00:33:49.659 --> 00:33:50.219
 from his

00:33:50.219 --> 00:33:50.759
 example

00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:51.419
 and learning

00:33:51.419 --> 00:33:51.899
 from his

00:33:51.899 --> 00:33:52.479
 encouragement

00:33:52.479 --> 00:33:54.099
 I can

00:33:54.099 --> 00:33:54.339
 remember

00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:55.059
 the first

00:33:55.059 --> 00:33:55.839
 message

00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:56.339
 I preached

00:33:56.339 --> 00:33:56.679
 there

00:33:56.679 --> 00:33:57.980
 at

00:33:57.980 --> 00:33:58.599
 Grace

00:33:58.599 --> 00:33:58.959
 Baptist

00:33:58.959 --> 00:33:59.359
 Church

00:33:59.359 --> 00:33:59.720
 and it

00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:00.379
 was a

00:34:00.379 --> 00:34:01.259
 it was a

00:34:01.259 --> 00:34:01.559
 dud

00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:02.199
 to say

00:34:02.199 --> 00:34:02.740
 the least

00:34:02.740 --> 00:34:04.139
 but you

00:34:04.139 --> 00:34:04.459
 wouldn't have

00:34:04.459 --> 00:34:05.039
 known that

00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:06.059
 from talking

00:34:06.059 --> 00:34:06.980
 with Grandpa

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:07.240
 Durham

00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:07.720
 because of

00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:08.019
 his

00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:09.039
 encouragement

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:10.039
 for me

00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:10.559
 and his

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:11.360
 his

00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:12.759
 the way

00:34:12.759 --> 00:34:13.059
 that God

00:34:13.059 --> 00:34:13.559
 used him

00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:14.299
 to direct

00:34:14.299 --> 00:34:14.819
 me into

00:34:14.819 --> 00:34:15.319
 ministry

00:34:15.319 --> 00:34:16.719
 it was

00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:17.199
 life

00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:18.099
 it was

00:34:18.099 --> 00:34:18.420
 life

00:34:18.420 --> 00:34:18.880
 changing

00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:20.239
 and then I

00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:20.619
 think about

00:34:20.619 --> 00:34:20.960
 Frank

00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:21.239
 Young

00:34:24.219 --> 00:34:24.860
 instrumental

00:34:24.860 --> 00:34:25.639
 in planting

00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:27.059
 a significant

00:34:27.059 --> 00:34:27.519

00:34:34.059 --> 00:34:34.519

00:34:38.779 --> 00:34:39.379
 the

00:34:39.379 --> 00:34:40.139
 children's

00:34:52.379 --> 00:34:52.539
 sure

00:34:52.539 --> 00:34:52.759

00:34:52.759 --> 00:34:52.939
 has

 saw

00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:33.840
 in

00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:37.759
 happening

00:35:37.759 --> 00:35:38.179
 earlier

 in the

00:38:44.380 --> 00:38:45.279
 very spiritual
