00:00:00.580 --> 00:00:05.860
 Please take your Bibles this morning and open them up to Colossians chapter 3.

00:00:06.020 --> 00:00:10.000
! We've been walking through the book of Colossians together as a church family,

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:16.339
 and we've come to Colossians chapter 3, and our passage this morning is verses 1 through 4.

00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.859
 If you don't have a physical Bible of your own that you brought with you, that's okay.

00:00:21.059 --> 00:00:23.539
 We have them all over the room and seat backs nearby,

00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:27.420
 but I would encourage you to have a copy of God's Word available to you

00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:30.940
 as you look on as I preach this passage this morning.

00:00:31.360 --> 00:00:33.840
 When you found it, Colossians 3 verses 1 through 4,

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.320
 let's stand this morning together in honor of the reading of the Word of God.

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:52.840
 Paul says,

00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.579
 If then you have been raised with Christ,

00:00:55.579 --> 00:01:03.100
 Seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:09.420
 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:14.879
 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.420
 When Christ, who is your life, appears,

00:01:19.219 --> 00:01:22.579
 then you also will appear with Him in glory.

00:01:22.579 --> 00:01:28.400
 The grass withers and the flower fades, but the Word of the Lord endures forever.

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.239
 Father, we pray once more this morning,

00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:36.739
 God, would you transform the minds of this church

00:01:36.739 --> 00:01:39.319
 so that we would seek the things that are above,

00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:41.400
 not things that are of the earth.

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.459
 Would you fill our thoughts with heavenly things?

00:01:45.459 --> 00:01:49.359
 Would you fill our hearts with a love and a desire to seek Christ?

00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.339
 We pray all of this in Jesus' name.

00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:53.500
 Amen.

00:01:54.559 --> 00:01:55.519
 You may be seated.

00:01:57.479 --> 00:02:04.519
 I recently had the opportunity to share an important life lesson with my boys several weeks ago.

00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.579
 One of them was just sitting innocently at the dinner table,

00:02:08.939 --> 00:02:11.759
 minding his own business, looking off into the distance,

00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.400
 apparently a little quieter than usual.

00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.419
 And so Amanda looked at him and asked him,

00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:18.680
 Hey, what's on your mind?

00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:21.419
 To which he replied,

00:02:21.740 --> 00:02:23.859
 Honestly, nothing.

00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:28.040
 And I said, you know, this is one of those opportunities as a father

00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:34.240
 that you have to capitalize on to be able to teach about God's world in which we live.

00:02:34.300 --> 00:02:36.540
 And so I called all the boys together and I said,

00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:40.460
 Hey, listen, I want you to understand exactly what just happened here.

00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:46.160
 The female mind cannot comprehend the thought of having nothing at all on their mind.

00:02:48.340 --> 00:02:51.420
 This is one of the main differences between men and women.

00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:53.040
 I'm going to speak in general terms here.

00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.879
 I know that there are general exceptions,

00:02:55.139 --> 00:03:00.180
 but if ever there was evidence that these two genders are not interchangeable, this is it.

00:03:01.219 --> 00:03:06.539
 The male mind is like a railroad and the female mind is like Spaghetti Junction.

00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:12.579
 At any given time, they are thinking of 10, 15, 20 things,

00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:19.159
 but the man, honestly, is possible for him to be thinking of genuinely nothing at all.

00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:25.039
 There is a distinct difference between the mind of a man and the mind of a woman.

00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:26.500
 That's how God has made us to be.

00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.759
 This morning, as we look at Colossians chapter 3,

00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.659
 Paul puts that same question before the church.

00:03:34.819 --> 00:03:36.840
 What is on your mind?

00:03:38.379 --> 00:03:40.859
 And gender differences aside, for a minute this morning,

00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:45.020
 he's helping us to see that there ought to be a distinct difference

00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:50.480
 between the mind of a believer and the mind of a non-believer.

00:03:51.740 --> 00:03:54.600
 The Christian is called to be heavenly minded.

00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:57.340
 So let's take a look at the passage,

00:03:57.480 --> 00:03:59.400
 and I want us to see it in three parts this morning.

00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:00.420
 This will be our outline.

00:04:00.860 --> 00:04:03.320
 We try to make it easy for you to follow along and take notes.

00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:04.900
 So three parts this morning.

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.139
 We'll see the mind of a Christian first.

00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.680
 Second, we'll see the motivation for the Christian life.

00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:16.839
 And third, we'll close with a method for Christian thought,

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:18.560
 a method for Christian meditation.

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.199
 I want to get very practical with you as we close this morning.

00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:25.159
 So three parts, the mind, the motivation, and the method.

00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:25.779
 Let's take a look.

00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.539
 First, we see the mind of the Christian.

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:29.980
 Look there with me to verses 1 and 2.

00:04:29.980 --> 00:04:34.160
 Paul begins here with a very important if,

00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:36.300
 before he gives any sort of command here.

00:04:36.420 --> 00:04:36.900
 Paul says,

00:04:37.340 --> 00:04:41.200
 if then you have been raised with Christ,

00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:43.580
 meaning if you are a Christian.

00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:47.319
 To be a Christian is to be raised with Christ.

00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.439
 It's to be united to the risen Christ by faith.

00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.860
 If then you have been raised with Christ,

00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.280
 seek the things that are above.

00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:56.920
 That's an important if, isn't it?

00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.020
 You know, the non-believer cannot be expected

00:05:00.020 --> 00:05:03.220
 to set their minds on heavenly things.

00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.220
 And they're still of the earth.

00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:07.759
 But, Paul says,

00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:09.879
 if you have been raised with Christ,

00:05:10.020 --> 00:05:12.060
 then seek the things that are above.

00:05:12.340 --> 00:05:14.620
 He's continuing this line of application

00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:16.620
 that he started in chapter 2, verse 6.

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.720
 This was sort of the banner verse

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.120
 of the application section of Colossians,

00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:22.300
 chapter 2, verse 6.

00:05:22.780 --> 00:05:23.200
 He said,

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.060
 if you have received Christ Jesus as Lord,

00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:30.120
 then you are called to walk in Him.

00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.819
 Walk in Christ.

00:05:32.979 --> 00:05:34.819
 And so the question then becomes,

00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:35.300
 well, Paul,

00:05:35.459 --> 00:05:38.159
 what does walking in Christ actually look like?

00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.240
 Maybe you've thought that way yourself.

00:05:41.339 --> 00:05:42.779
 And maybe you've asked that same question.

00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:43.099
 You say,

00:05:43.159 --> 00:05:46.919
 well, I know that I have received Christ Jesus as Lord.

00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:48.319
 I know that I'm a Christian.

00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.040
 I know that I believe in Him.

00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:51.839
 But what does it actually look like

00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:53.579
 for me to walk in Christ?

00:05:54.579 --> 00:05:57.259
 Paul answered that in the negative for us.

00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.279
 He told us what not to do in chapter 2.

00:05:59.439 --> 00:05:59.800
 He said,

00:06:00.259 --> 00:06:04.040
 to walk in Christ means to not let anyone take you captive,

00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.740
 he said in chapter 2, verse 8.

00:06:07.779 --> 00:06:09.459
 To walk in Christ looks like

00:06:09.459 --> 00:06:12.360
 not letting anyone else pass judgment on you

00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.240
 in regards to human tradition

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.300
 and legalism and laws and expectations.

00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:20.020
 In verse 16 of chapter 2.

00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:21.319
 He said,

00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:22.480
 walking in Him looks like

00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.680
 not letting anyone disqualify you.

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.259
 He said in verse 18 of chapter 2.

00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:30.800
 But now as we turn to chapter 3,

00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.460
 he turns and he then gives us

00:06:32.460 --> 00:06:34.160
 some positive application.

00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:35.220
 So we're moving from

00:06:35.220 --> 00:06:36.920
 what we must not do

00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:38.720
 to what we must do.

00:06:39.100 --> 00:06:41.780
 What does walking in Him actually look like?

00:06:41.819 --> 00:06:42.720
 And he tells us

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.520
 the Christian walk

00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:47.860
 requires the engagement

00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:49.540
 of your mind.

00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:52.540
 The Christian walk,

00:06:52.740 --> 00:06:54.000
 to walk in Him,

00:06:55.060 --> 00:06:56.660
 requires the engagement

00:06:56.660 --> 00:06:58.620
 of your mind.

00:06:58.780 --> 00:07:00.440
 If then you have been

00:07:00.440 --> 00:07:01.820
 raised with Christ,

00:07:02.820 --> 00:07:04.760
 seek the things that are above

00:07:04.760 --> 00:07:05.800
 where Christ is,

00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:07.400
 seated at the right hand of God.

00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:08.960
 Set your minds

00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:10.180
 on things that are above.

00:07:10.180 --> 00:07:10.980
 Your minds.

00:07:11.500 --> 00:07:12.259
 Set your minds

00:07:12.259 --> 00:07:13.319
 on things that are above.

00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:15.660
 Not on things that are on the earth.

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.600
 The Bible calls God's people

00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.040
 to devote their minds to Him.

00:07:21.340 --> 00:07:22.960
 You think of some Old Testament passages.

00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:24.819
 Do not let this book of the law

00:07:24.819 --> 00:07:26.019
 depart from your mouth,

00:07:26.259 --> 00:07:27.840
 but meditate on it

00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:28.720
 day and night,

00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:30.060
 Joshua 1.8 says.

00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:32.199
 Blessed is the man

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:33.060
 who walks not

00:07:33.060 --> 00:07:34.280
 in the counsel of the wicked,

00:07:34.459 --> 00:07:36.280
 nor stands in the way of sinners,

00:07:36.379 --> 00:07:38.100
 nor sits in the seat of scoffers,

00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:39.220
 but his delight

00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:40.800
 is on the law of the Lord.

00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:41.500
 And on His law,

00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:42.600
 He meditates,

00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:43.319
 meditates,

00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:44.319
 day and night,

00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:45.620
 Psalm chapter 1 says.

00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:47.500
 Or you go to the New Testament,

00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:48.319
 it's no different.

00:07:48.620 --> 00:07:49.899
 Do not be conformed

00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:51.259
 to the patterns of this world,

00:07:51.340 --> 00:07:52.340
 but be transformed

00:07:52.340 --> 00:07:54.079
 by the renewal of what?

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:55.879
 Of your mind,

00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:57.560
 He says in Romans chapter 12.

00:07:58.379 --> 00:07:59.160
 Or in Philippians,

00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:00.640
 He says whatever is true,

00:08:00.820 --> 00:08:01.980
 whatever is honorable,

00:08:02.280 --> 00:08:03.220
 whatever is just,

00:08:03.340 --> 00:08:04.320
 whatever is pure,

00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:05.840
 whatever is lovely,

00:08:06.020 --> 00:08:07.180
 whatever is commendable,

00:08:07.380 --> 00:08:08.800
 if there is any excellence,

00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:10.260
 if there is anything

00:08:10.260 --> 00:08:11.280
 worthy of praise,

00:08:11.640 --> 00:08:13.420
 think about these things.

00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:14.640
 Think, He says.

00:08:15.080 --> 00:08:16.640
 Set your mind on these things.

00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.280
 Think, think, think.

00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:20.020
 Engage your mind

00:08:20.020 --> 00:08:21.320
 in thoughts of God.

00:08:21.400 --> 00:08:22.660
 This is the call of a Christian.

00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.600
 And I know the objections, right?

00:08:26.660 --> 00:08:27.560
 Because I've heard them before.

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.199
 I'm just not much

00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:31.280
 of the academic type.

00:08:33.139 --> 00:08:34.820
 I never went to seminary.

00:08:36.019 --> 00:08:37.759
 All of these theological things

00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:39.679
 are just too deep for me.

00:08:41.139 --> 00:08:41.539
 Now listen,

00:08:41.659 --> 00:08:42.899
 not everybody has to have

00:08:42.899 --> 00:08:44.519
 a PhD in theology,

00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.440
 but every Christian

00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.519
 must devote their minds

00:08:49.100 --> 00:08:50.340
 to the Lord.

00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:53.160
 The pastor theologian,

00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:54.700
 P.T. Forsyth,

00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:56.560
 was often accused

00:08:56.560 --> 00:08:57.480
 of preaching above

00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:58.820
 the congregation's heads.

00:08:58.899 --> 00:08:59.600
 And you know what his reply

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:00.320
 often was?

00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:02.220
 Lift up your heads.

00:09:03.980 --> 00:09:05.720
 It's not very pastorally sensitive.

00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:08.379
 But he might be on to something.

00:09:08.540 --> 00:09:08.840
 Church,

00:09:08.920 --> 00:09:09.639
 we are all called

00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.820
 to lift up our heads

00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:13.340
 and to devote our minds

00:09:13.340 --> 00:09:14.060
 to the exercise

00:09:14.060 --> 00:09:15.820
 of thinking about God,

00:09:15.980 --> 00:09:17.540
 thinking about His glory,

00:09:17.539 --> 00:09:19.539
 thinking about spiritual truths,

00:09:19.699 --> 00:09:21.559
 thinking about theology.

00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:23.939
 Now before I became a Christian,

00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:25.500
 I'll confess to you,

00:09:25.539 --> 00:09:27.500
 I was not much of a reader at all.

00:09:27.599 --> 00:09:28.679
 No one would have described me

00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:29.379
 as an academic.

00:09:29.980 --> 00:09:32.740
 I did not care to read a book at all,

00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:33.939
 but I had good models,

00:09:34.319 --> 00:09:34.959
 good examples

00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:36.779
 who put good books into my hands.

00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:37.559
 And they told me,

00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:38.799
 go and read.

00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:40.599
 Go and learn.

00:09:40.839 --> 00:09:42.439
 Go and think about God.

00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:43.939
 Go think about theology.

00:09:44.099 --> 00:09:45.500
 Go think about the church.

00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:47.720
 Go think about your salvation.

00:09:48.580 --> 00:09:49.759
 Think about heaven.

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:52.700
 Think about your identity in Christ.

00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:53.840
 Think about the mission

00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:54.700
 God's given you.

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.019
 Think about holiness.

00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:57.500
 The Christian life

00:09:57.500 --> 00:09:59.500
 requires us to think.

00:10:03.100 --> 00:10:04.139
 I remember hearing

00:10:04.139 --> 00:10:05.200
 one of the leaders

00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:06.659
 in our campus ministry in college

00:10:06.659 --> 00:10:08.740
 say just in an offhand comment one day

00:10:08.740 --> 00:10:11.000
 that one of his life goals

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.360
 was to be a master

00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:13.679
 of the Word of God.

00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:14.759
 I had never heard anybody

00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:15.659
 talk like that before.

00:10:17.239 --> 00:10:18.819
 Yeah, I knew the Bible was good.

00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.479
 I knew it was full of good,

00:10:20.579 --> 00:10:21.439
 helpful tidbits

00:10:21.439 --> 00:10:22.799
 and information for my life,

00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:24.479
 but never had I ever heard

00:10:24.479 --> 00:10:25.299
 anyone express

00:10:25.299 --> 00:10:28.199
 a desire to so fill their minds

00:10:28.199 --> 00:10:29.019
 with God's Word

00:10:29.019 --> 00:10:29.979
 that they are thinking

00:10:29.979 --> 00:10:31.979
 the thoughts of God constantly.

00:10:32.179 --> 00:10:33.459
 I want that for us, church.

00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:35.500
 I want that for me.

00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:37.779
 Paul says,

00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:40.320
 you must fill your mind

00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:41.659
 with the truth.

00:10:41.820 --> 00:10:42.799
 Seek the things

00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:43.580
 that are above

00:10:43.580 --> 00:10:44.580
 with your minds,

00:10:44.659 --> 00:10:45.820
 but not just your minds.

00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:46.879
 Paul also says

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.480
 this walk with Christ

00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:49.620
 also requires

00:10:49.620 --> 00:10:51.539
 a delight of the heart.

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.639
 It requires a delight

00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:54.259
 of the heart.

00:10:54.340 --> 00:10:54.740
 Look there again

00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:55.340
 to verse 1.

00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:57.500
 Paul gives these two

00:10:57.500 --> 00:10:59.360
 parallel commands here.

00:10:59.480 --> 00:10:59.740
 One,

00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:00.799
 seek the things

00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:01.500
 that are above,

00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:02.159
 verse 1,

00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:02.860
 and 2,

00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:04.139
 set your minds

00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:05.039
 on the things above,

00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:05.620
 verse 2.

00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:06.439
 So,

00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:08.500
 seek and set your minds.

00:11:08.579 --> 00:11:10.339
 Those two are closely related.

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:11.279
 They're closely connected,

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.100
 but they're not exactly the same.

00:11:13.459 --> 00:11:14.759
 That word for seek,

00:11:14.779 --> 00:11:16.259
 it has the heart in view.

00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:18.299
 It's the same language

00:11:18.299 --> 00:11:19.179
 that Jesus uses

00:11:19.179 --> 00:11:19.659
 when He says,

00:11:20.100 --> 00:11:21.639
 seek first the kingdom of God

00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.039
 and His righteousness.

00:11:23.319 --> 00:11:25.079
 It's not just a mental pursuit.

00:11:25.199 --> 00:11:27.039
 It demands the engagement

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:28.579
 and the delight of your heart.

00:11:29.980 --> 00:11:31.899
 The NIV translates it well.

00:11:31.899 --> 00:11:32.399
 We were talking about

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:33.159
 different translations

00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:34.939
 in the Grow Class Hour.

00:11:35.059 --> 00:11:36.639
 The NIV translates it well here.

00:11:36.740 --> 00:11:36.919
 It says,

00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:37.939
 set your heart

00:11:37.939 --> 00:11:39.139
 on things above.

00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:41.220
 And the KJV

00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:42.120
 actually takes that angle

00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:42.819
 in verse 2

00:11:42.819 --> 00:11:43.340
 where it says,

00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:44.439
 set your affection,

00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:46.459
 the affections of the heart.

00:11:46.579 --> 00:11:47.299
 Set your affection

00:11:47.299 --> 00:11:48.279
 on things above,

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:49.279
 not on things

00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:50.919
 that are of the earth.

00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:51.659
 In other words,

00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:51.939
 church,

00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:53.059
 it is good

00:11:53.059 --> 00:11:54.100
 and it's right

00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:55.459
 to know what's true,

00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:56.980
 but that is not enough.

00:11:57.960 --> 00:11:58.600
 It's not enough

00:11:58.600 --> 00:11:59.579
 to know the truth.

00:11:59.659 --> 00:12:00.439
 We must also

00:12:00.439 --> 00:12:01.879
 love the truth.

00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:03.600
 It's not enough

00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:05.319
 to know facts about God.

00:12:05.419 --> 00:12:06.179
 We must also

00:12:06.179 --> 00:12:07.740
 love the Lord our God

00:12:07.740 --> 00:12:08.740
 with all of our heart,

00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:10.079
 all of our mind,

00:12:10.199 --> 00:12:10.919
 all of our soul,

00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:12.039
 all of our strength.

00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:14.100
 We have to know about Him

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:15.059
 in order to love Him.

00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:15.799
 That's a requirement.

00:12:16.220 --> 00:12:17.319
 But simply knowing

00:12:17.319 --> 00:12:18.199
 about Him

00:12:18.199 --> 00:12:19.639
 is not enough.

00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:21.059
 We must love Him.

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.220
 We must set our heart

00:12:23.220 --> 00:12:25.059
 on things above.

00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:26.460
 Didn't Jesus press this home

00:12:26.460 --> 00:12:27.220
 with the Pharisees?

00:12:27.220 --> 00:12:29.639
 He said,

00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:31.759
 nobody knew the bare facts

00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.600
 about the Word of God

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:34.480
 than the Pharisees.

00:12:34.540 --> 00:12:35.160
 They could honor Him

00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:35.700
 with their lips

00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:36.740
 all day long,

00:12:36.800 --> 00:12:37.740
 but what did Jesus say?

00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:38.980
 These people honor me

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:39.639
 with their lips

00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.300
 and yet their heart

00:12:41.300 --> 00:12:43.379
 is far from me.

00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:44.500
 The Christian life

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:46.279
 requires that you set

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.120
 your heart

00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.220
 on things above,

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:49.920
 not just your head.

00:12:50.680 --> 00:12:51.580
 And the truth

00:12:51.580 --> 00:12:52.580
 of who God is

00:12:52.580 --> 00:12:53.740
 and what Christ

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:54.740
 has done for us,

00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:56.480
 that's meant to move us

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:57.220
 in the affections

00:12:57.220 --> 00:12:57.980
 of our heart.

00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:01.720
 I do want to clarify

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.919
 something here

00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:04.000
 that's very important

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.680
 because in our culture today,

00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:07.500
 year 2026,

00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:08.659
 when we hear

00:13:08.659 --> 00:13:09.480
 the engagement

00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:10.360
 of our heart,

00:13:10.460 --> 00:13:10.879
 when we hear

00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:11.860
 setting our heart

00:13:11.860 --> 00:13:12.700
 on things above

00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:13.560
 and seeking God

00:13:13.560 --> 00:13:14.200
 with our heart,

00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:16.200
 we think emotion,

00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:16.740
 don't we?

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:18.299
 And we hear heart

00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:19.419
 and we think emotion.

00:13:19.560 --> 00:13:20.419
 I just want to make it clear

00:13:20.419 --> 00:13:21.700
 that is not what Paul

00:13:21.700 --> 00:13:22.620
 is saying here.

00:13:22.700 --> 00:13:23.159
 In fact,

00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:24.839
 I think Paul is likely

00:13:24.839 --> 00:13:26.839
 throwing another subtle jab

00:13:26.839 --> 00:13:28.100
 here at these false teachers

00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:28.879
 in Colossae.

00:13:29.259 --> 00:13:31.179
 They were really emphasizing

00:13:31.179 --> 00:13:32.019
 the priority

00:13:32.019 --> 00:13:33.779
 of having a deep

00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:35.799
 emotional experience

00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:36.299
 in worship.

00:13:37.199 --> 00:13:38.019
 And they said,

00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:39.939
 what was really important

00:13:39.939 --> 00:13:40.799
 for you is that

00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.620
 to be spiritually full,

00:13:42.839 --> 00:13:43.500
 you have to have

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:44.620
 this overwhelming

00:13:44.620 --> 00:13:45.600
 spiritual,

00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.259
 emotional experience

00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:48.339
 where you're overcome

00:13:48.339 --> 00:13:49.679
 with emotion

00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:50.959
 and that's how you know

00:13:50.959 --> 00:13:51.779
 you've done something

00:13:51.779 --> 00:13:52.579
 really special.

00:13:54.079 --> 00:13:54.759
 Do you realize

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:55.740
 many Christians today

00:13:55.740 --> 00:13:56.699
 think the same thing?

00:13:58.620 --> 00:13:59.519
 They think that

00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:00.159
 in order to have

00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:01.259
 a truly valid

00:14:01.259 --> 00:14:02.419
 religious experience

00:14:02.419 --> 00:14:02.899
 in worship,

00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:03.679
 it must be

00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.299
 deeply emotional.

00:14:05.579 --> 00:14:06.439
 And many churches

00:14:06.439 --> 00:14:08.240
 arrange their gatherings

00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.879
 to try and manipulate

00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:11.299
 that emotional response.

00:14:11.339 --> 00:14:11.919
 If they can just

00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:13.279
 get people excited

00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:14.459
 and emotional,

00:14:14.699 --> 00:14:15.559
 well then that is

00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:15.980
 the goal.

00:14:16.059 --> 00:14:16.559
 We've done it.

00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.359
 I've actually heard

00:14:19.359 --> 00:14:19.979
 somebody say,

00:14:20.079 --> 00:14:21.439
 and this is a direct quote,

00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:22.479
 let's get them

00:14:22.479 --> 00:14:23.379
 really excited

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:24.659
 and then later on

00:14:24.659 --> 00:14:25.359
 they can figure out

00:14:25.359 --> 00:14:26.399
 what they're excited about.

00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:29.839
 Can I just say

00:14:29.839 --> 00:14:30.539
 that that's completely

00:14:30.539 --> 00:14:31.419
 backwards from the

00:14:31.419 --> 00:14:32.500
 biblical pattern.

00:14:32.699 --> 00:14:33.719
 The biblical pattern

00:14:33.719 --> 00:14:34.939
 is truth

00:14:34.939 --> 00:14:36.019
 that moves

00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:36.739
 the heart.

00:14:37.479 --> 00:14:38.419
 It's truth

00:14:38.419 --> 00:14:39.759
 first as the leader

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.059
 that engages

00:14:41.059 --> 00:14:42.339
 the affections

00:14:42.339 --> 00:14:42.979
 of the heart.

00:14:43.099 --> 00:14:43.779
 It's truth

00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:45.240
 that stirs up

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:46.019
 love

00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:46.939
 for the Lord.

00:14:47.019 --> 00:14:47.600
 There's a difference

00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:48.939
 between emotions

00:14:48.939 --> 00:14:49.899
 and what the Puritans

00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:51.539
 called the affections

00:14:51.539 --> 00:14:52.279
 of the heart.

00:14:52.379 --> 00:14:52.620
 Do you know

00:14:52.620 --> 00:14:53.159
 this difference?

00:14:54.379 --> 00:14:55.159
 Sam Storm

00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:56.039
 summed it up well.

00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:56.919
 Let me read this to you.

00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:58.299
 He says,

00:14:58.379 --> 00:14:58.919
 emotions

00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:00.199
 can often be

00:15:00.199 --> 00:15:01.299
 no more than

00:15:01.299 --> 00:15:03.399
 physiologically

00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:04.519
 heightened states

00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:05.519
 of either euphoria

00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:06.419
 or fear

00:15:06.419 --> 00:15:07.779
 that are unrelated

00:15:07.779 --> 00:15:08.919
 to what the mind

00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:10.399
 perceives as true.

00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:12.439
 Affections,

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:13.139
 on the other hand,

00:15:13.139 --> 00:15:14.000
 are always

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:14.720
 the fruit

00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:15.779
 or the effect

00:15:15.779 --> 00:15:16.519
 of what the mind

00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:17.240
 understands

00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:17.960
 and knows.

00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:18.899
 The will

00:15:18.899 --> 00:15:19.879
 or inclination

00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:20.799
 is moved

00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:21.799
 either toward

00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:22.419
 or away

00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:22.960
 from something

00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:23.819
 that is perceived

00:15:23.819 --> 00:15:25.019
 by the mind.

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.039
 The Christian life

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:29.360
 must be centered

00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:30.500
 on truth

00:15:30.500 --> 00:15:32.039
 that stirs up

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:32.799
 the affections

00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:33.539
 of your heart.

00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:35.659
 And so Paul says

00:15:35.659 --> 00:15:36.480
 the Christian walk,

00:15:36.580 --> 00:15:36.779
 church,

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:37.439
 it requires

00:15:37.439 --> 00:15:38.620
 your mind,

00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:39.319
 it requires

00:15:39.319 --> 00:15:40.279
 the engagement,

00:15:40.439 --> 00:15:41.019
 the affections

00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:41.700
 of your heart.

00:15:41.779 --> 00:15:42.340
 And lastly,

00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:43.080
 briefly here

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:43.980
 on this first point,

00:15:44.300 --> 00:15:45.399
 we see that

00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:46.879
 to walk in him

00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:47.580
 requires

00:15:47.580 --> 00:15:48.980
 an intention

00:15:48.980 --> 00:15:50.120
 of your will.

00:15:50.420 --> 00:15:50.899
 I just want to make

00:15:50.899 --> 00:15:51.480
 this plain here

00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:52.360
 before we move on.

00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:54.840
 To seek

00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:56.600
 and to set

00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:57.500
 before,

00:15:58.200 --> 00:15:59.300
 that requires

00:15:59.300 --> 00:15:59.920
 some effort,

00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:00.440
 church.

00:16:01.820 --> 00:16:02.980
 And the truth is

00:16:02.980 --> 00:16:03.940
 not one of us

00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:05.379
 naturally drifts

00:16:05.379 --> 00:16:06.139
 towards thoughts

00:16:06.139 --> 00:16:07.360
 of heavenly things.

00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:09.399
 and not one of us

00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:10.519
 naturally wakes up

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:10.879
 in the morning

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:12.080
 feeling warm

00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:12.639
 and eager

00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:14.240
 to pursue heavenly truths.

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:14.899
 Our minds

00:16:14.899 --> 00:16:15.800
 are foggy,

00:16:15.899 --> 00:16:16.379
 our hearts

00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:18.019
 are naturally cold.

00:16:18.139 --> 00:16:18.539
 We're filled

00:16:18.539 --> 00:16:19.019
 with thoughts

00:16:19.019 --> 00:16:20.340
 of things we must do.

00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:20.820
 We're filled

00:16:20.820 --> 00:16:21.740
 with worries

00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:22.639
 of this life.

00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:23.000
 We're filled

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:23.399
 with thoughts

00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:24.300
 about our jobs

00:16:24.300 --> 00:16:24.980
 and our families

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.620
 and our health

00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:26.519
 and our obligations.

00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.059
 This is a discipline

00:16:29.059 --> 00:16:29.819
 that will require

00:16:29.819 --> 00:16:30.980
 effort out of you.

00:16:32.299 --> 00:16:33.460
 And intentionality,

00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:35.179
 you must make

00:16:35.179 --> 00:16:36.000
 an effort

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.840
 to stop thinking

00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:38.720
 about every earthly

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:39.559
 thing that demands

00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:40.120
 your attention

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:40.779
 constantly

00:16:40.779 --> 00:16:41.799
 and to set

00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:42.600
 your minds

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.639
 on things above.

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:44.199
 You have to

00:16:44.199 --> 00:16:44.879
 intentionally

00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:46.500
 engage your mind

00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:47.299
 with thoughts

00:16:47.299 --> 00:16:47.960
 of Jesus

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.600
 and the finished

00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:49.600
 work of the gospel.

00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:51.860
 If you want

00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:52.639
 to get warm,

00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:53.360
 you have to move

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:54.500
 closer to the fire.

00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:56.240
 If you want

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:56.960
 to be filled,

00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:57.899
 you have to prepare

00:16:57.899 --> 00:16:58.580
 and eat.

00:16:59.259 --> 00:17:00.100
 If you want

00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:00.740
 to be heavenly,

00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:01.480
 you have to

00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:02.539
 intentionally seek

00:17:02.539 --> 00:17:03.340
 after heavenly

00:17:03.340 --> 00:17:04.819
 things.

00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:07.180
 My point is,

00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:07.440
 church,

00:17:07.539 --> 00:17:08.400
 the call of Christ

00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:10.200
 is to seek Him

00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:11.180
 with everything

00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:11.960
 you have

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:12.900
 and everything

00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:13.599
 you are.

00:17:13.660 --> 00:17:14.579
 That's an overwhelming

00:17:14.579 --> 00:17:15.460
 call, isn't it?

00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:18.119
 The demands

00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:19.180
 of Jesus on us

00:17:19.180 --> 00:17:20.539
 are not small

00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:21.119
 and light.

00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:22.059
 They're not easy.

00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:24.059
 This is a call

00:17:24.059 --> 00:17:24.559
 to offer

00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:25.259
 your entire

00:17:25.259 --> 00:17:26.779
 self up to Him

00:17:26.779 --> 00:17:27.460
 as a living

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:28.419
 sacrifice.

00:17:28.539 --> 00:17:29.159
 Your mind,

00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:30.240
 your heart,

00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:31.619
 your very will.

00:17:33.679 --> 00:17:34.179
 So second,

00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:34.799
 we should ask,

00:17:34.879 --> 00:17:35.500
 what is the

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:36.440
 motivating power

00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:37.659
 behind this work?

00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:39.339
 What is the

00:17:39.339 --> 00:17:39.980
 motivation

00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:40.919
 that God

00:17:40.919 --> 00:17:41.519
 gives us

00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:42.539
 for this task?

00:17:42.639 --> 00:17:43.240
 What's the power

00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:43.879
 behind this

00:17:43.879 --> 00:17:45.899
 whole self-pursuit

00:17:45.899 --> 00:17:46.879
 of heavenly things?

00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:47.720
 Paul tells us

00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:48.799
 the power

00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:49.480
 is in

00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:50.200
 who Christ

00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:50.679
 is,

00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:52.379
 what Christ

00:17:52.380 --> 00:17:53.120
 has done

00:17:53.120 --> 00:17:54.280
 and in

00:17:54.280 --> 00:17:54.940
 the glorious

00:17:54.940 --> 00:17:55.560
 fact that

00:17:55.560 --> 00:17:55.980
 you are

00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:56.680
 united

00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:57.680
 to Christ

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.360
 by faith.

00:17:59.800 --> 00:18:00.260
 See how

00:18:00.260 --> 00:18:00.600
 he roots

00:18:00.600 --> 00:18:01.180
 all of this

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:01.980
 in Christ

00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:02.300
 and what

00:18:02.300 --> 00:18:02.780
 he's done?

00:18:03.040 --> 00:18:03.640
 Why does

00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:04.220
 he tell us

00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:04.700
 to seek

00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:05.180
 things that

00:18:05.180 --> 00:18:05.680
 are above?

00:18:05.800 --> 00:18:06.060
 Why?

00:18:06.740 --> 00:18:07.540
 Why set

00:18:07.540 --> 00:18:08.000
 our minds

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:08.520
 on heavenly

00:18:08.520 --> 00:18:09.200
 things and

00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:09.940
 not of things

00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:10.300
 that are of

00:18:10.300 --> 00:18:10.740
 the earth?

00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:11.840
 It's because

00:18:11.840 --> 00:18:12.680
 that is

00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:13.380
 where Christ

00:18:13.380 --> 00:18:13.900
 is.

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:15.680
 Think of

00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:16.140
 things that

00:18:16.140 --> 00:18:16.700
 are above

00:18:16.700 --> 00:18:17.520
 where Christ

00:18:17.520 --> 00:18:17.900
 is,

00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:18.820
 seated at

00:18:18.820 --> 00:18:19.260
 the right

00:18:19.260 --> 00:18:20.100
 hand of God.

00:18:20.099 --> 00:18:21.019
 He's seated

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:21.699
 there.

00:18:22.699 --> 00:18:23.359
 This is a

00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:23.899
 reminder of

00:18:23.899 --> 00:18:24.519
 the finished

00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:25.059
 work of

00:18:25.059 --> 00:18:25.419
 Christ.

00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:26.000
 Christ is

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:26.699
 seated because

00:18:26.699 --> 00:18:27.379
 the work

00:18:27.379 --> 00:18:27.899
 of redemption

00:18:27.899 --> 00:18:28.759
 is done.

00:18:29.399 --> 00:18:29.919
 He's earned

00:18:29.919 --> 00:18:30.599
 that seat.

00:18:31.679 --> 00:18:32.039
 And Jesus

00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.099
 has fully

00:18:33.099 --> 00:18:33.719
 accomplished

00:18:33.719 --> 00:18:34.179
 the work

00:18:34.179 --> 00:18:34.899
 of salvation.

00:18:35.139 --> 00:18:35.339
 Paul's

00:18:35.339 --> 00:18:36.019
 reminding us,

00:18:36.219 --> 00:18:36.639
 by the way,

00:18:36.719 --> 00:18:37.259
 this is why

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:37.699
 you can't

00:18:37.699 --> 00:18:38.759
 add to it

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.299
 with all

00:18:39.299 --> 00:18:39.579
 of your

00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:40.279
 rules and

00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:41.119
 all of your

00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:41.819
 regulations

00:18:41.819 --> 00:18:42.779
 and all

00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:43.099
 of your

00:18:43.099 --> 00:18:43.759
 religion

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:44.240
 and all

00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:44.500
 of your

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:44.959
 traditions,

00:18:45.139 --> 00:18:45.419
 all of

00:18:45.419 --> 00:18:46.019
 these burdens

00:18:46.019 --> 00:18:46.319
 that the

00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:46.859
 false teachers

00:18:46.859 --> 00:18:47.500
 in Colossae

00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:47.939
 wanted to

00:18:47.939 --> 00:18:48.500
 add to

00:18:48.500 --> 00:18:48.899
 the finished

00:18:48.899 --> 00:18:49.259
 work of

00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:49.699
 Christ.

00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:51.240
 He says,

00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:51.399
 no,

00:18:51.439 --> 00:18:51.539
 no,

00:18:51.539 --> 00:18:51.659
 no,

00:18:51.659 --> 00:18:51.759
 no,

00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:51.879
 no.

00:18:52.019 --> 00:18:52.500
 We don't

00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:53.099
 do as

00:18:53.099 --> 00:18:53.579
 those false

00:18:53.579 --> 00:18:53.939
 teachers

00:18:53.939 --> 00:18:54.399
 wanted us

00:18:54.399 --> 00:18:54.699
 to do.

00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:55.059
 We don't

00:18:55.059 --> 00:18:56.179
 labor and

00:18:56.179 --> 00:18:57.099
 work and

00:18:57.099 --> 00:18:57.559
 do all

00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:58.079
 these religious

00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:58.719
 things in

00:18:58.719 --> 00:18:59.139
 order to

00:18:59.139 --> 00:18:59.839
 climb our

00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:00.519
 way closer

00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:01.240
 to God.

00:19:01.379 --> 00:19:02.019
 The gospel

00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:02.699
 tells us

00:19:02.699 --> 00:19:03.439
 God has

00:19:03.439 --> 00:19:03.959
 come down

00:19:03.959 --> 00:19:04.639
 to us.

00:19:05.539 --> 00:19:05.859
 We don't

00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:06.179
 need to

00:19:06.179 --> 00:19:06.919
 achieve our

00:19:06.919 --> 00:19:07.500
 salvation.

00:19:07.779 --> 00:19:08.359
 Christ has

00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:08.759
 come and

00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:09.299
 achieved our

00:19:09.299 --> 00:19:09.819
 salvation.

00:19:10.579 --> 00:19:11.139
 We can't

00:19:11.139 --> 00:19:11.799
 add anything

00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:12.319
 to it.

00:19:12.539 --> 00:19:12.959
 He's in

00:19:12.959 --> 00:19:13.199
 heaven.

00:19:13.299 --> 00:19:13.699
 He sat

00:19:13.699 --> 00:19:14.039
 down.

00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:14.219
 It's

00:19:14.219 --> 00:19:14.539
 done.

00:19:17.899 --> 00:19:18.419
 Jesus

00:19:18.419 --> 00:19:18.919
 doesn't need

00:19:18.919 --> 00:19:19.299
 any help

00:19:19.299 --> 00:19:19.719
 from earth.

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.160
 He's already

00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:20.680
 seated in

00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:20.920
 heaven.

00:19:22.860 --> 00:19:23.539
 That's what the

00:19:23.539 --> 00:19:24.380
 gospel tells us.

00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:24.900
 It's the finished

00:19:24.900 --> 00:19:25.640
 work of God.

00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:27.019
 The finished

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:27.759
 work of Christ.

00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:29.140
 Your perfection

00:19:29.140 --> 00:19:30.140
 that you must

00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:31.480
 have to be

00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:32.480
 made right with

00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:32.759
 God.

00:19:32.860 --> 00:19:33.240
 Guess what?

00:19:33.360 --> 00:19:33.940
 Christ has

00:19:33.940 --> 00:19:34.700
 already achieved

00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:35.100
 it by His

00:19:35.100 --> 00:19:35.779
 perfect life.

00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:37.839
 The burden

00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:38.519
 of debt that

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:39.079
 you've earned

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:39.660
 but you can't

00:19:39.660 --> 00:19:39.839
 pay.

00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:40.299
 Guess what?

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:40.920
 Christ has

00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:41.579
 already paid

00:19:41.579 --> 00:19:42.279
 for it by His

00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:43.539
 sacrificial death.

00:19:43.539 --> 00:19:45.839
 hope of eternal

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.180
 life that we

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:47.879
 can't ever

00:19:47.879 --> 00:19:48.759
 achieve by our

00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:49.139
 labors.

00:19:49.399 --> 00:19:49.859
 Guess what?

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:50.619
 Christ has

00:19:50.619 --> 00:19:51.659
 already risen

00:19:51.659 --> 00:19:52.200
 from the

00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:52.519
 grave.

00:19:52.940 --> 00:19:53.339
 He's done

00:19:53.339 --> 00:19:53.559
 it.

00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:56.440
 He's taken a

00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:56.899
 seat at the

00:19:56.899 --> 00:19:57.480
 right hand of

00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:57.759
 God.

00:19:57.819 --> 00:19:58.359
 Not just any

00:19:58.359 --> 00:19:58.759
 seat.

00:19:59.019 --> 00:20:00.079
 The seat of

00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:01.619
 eternal power

00:20:01.619 --> 00:20:02.299
 and eternal

00:20:02.299 --> 00:20:03.399
 authority at the

00:20:03.399 --> 00:20:04.059
 right hand of the

00:20:04.059 --> 00:20:04.720
 Lord where the

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:05.559
 Son of Man will

00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:06.619
 reign as King

00:20:06.619 --> 00:20:07.319
 for the rest of

00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:07.819
 eternity.

00:20:08.139 --> 00:20:08.940
 Church, this is

00:20:08.940 --> 00:20:09.599
 why we're called

00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:10.139
 to set our

00:20:10.139 --> 00:20:10.659
 minds on

00:20:10.659 --> 00:20:11.579
 heavenly things.

00:20:14.339 --> 00:20:15.399
 We seek the

00:20:15.399 --> 00:20:15.959
 things that are

00:20:15.959 --> 00:20:16.639
 above because

00:20:16.639 --> 00:20:17.379
 that's where

00:20:17.379 --> 00:20:18.959
 Christ is but

00:20:18.959 --> 00:20:19.779
 not only this.

00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:20.480
 I want you to

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:20.919
 see this.

00:20:21.959 --> 00:20:22.740
 We seek the

00:20:22.740 --> 00:20:23.379
 things that are

00:20:23.379 --> 00:20:24.339
 above because

00:20:24.339 --> 00:20:25.719
 that's where we

00:20:25.719 --> 00:20:26.939
 are in Him.

00:20:28.939 --> 00:20:30.139
 I love this

00:20:30.139 --> 00:20:30.539
 church.

00:20:31.899 --> 00:20:32.619
 We have in

00:20:32.619 --> 00:20:33.119
 these four

00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:34.079
 verses such a

00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:35.339
 beautiful picture

00:20:35.339 --> 00:20:36.359
 of what we call

00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.359
 our union

00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:38.699
 with Christ.

00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:40.480
 our union

00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:41.119
 with Christ.

00:20:41.199 --> 00:20:41.539
 If you want

00:20:41.539 --> 00:20:42.039
 something to

00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:42.619
 think about

00:20:42.619 --> 00:20:43.339
 this afternoon,

00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:44.240
 think about

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:44.959
 your union

00:20:44.959 --> 00:20:45.799
 with Christ.

00:20:46.939 --> 00:20:47.419
 Do you

00:20:47.419 --> 00:20:47.859
 realize,

00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:48.339
 Christian,

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:49.679
 that by

00:20:49.679 --> 00:20:50.519
 faith in

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:50.899
 Jesus,

00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:51.859
 you are

00:20:51.859 --> 00:20:52.679
 spiritually

00:20:52.679 --> 00:20:54.219
 united to

00:20:54.219 --> 00:20:54.799
 the risen

00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:55.659
 Lord Jesus

00:20:55.659 --> 00:20:56.259
 Christ?

00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:58.119
 And this

00:20:58.119 --> 00:20:58.879
 union with

00:20:58.879 --> 00:20:59.199
 Christ,

00:20:59.299 --> 00:20:59.619
 that's at the

00:20:59.619 --> 00:21:00.179
 very heart

00:21:00.179 --> 00:21:00.459
 of your

00:21:00.459 --> 00:21:00.980
 salvation.

00:21:02.439 --> 00:21:02.959
 The Puritan

00:21:02.959 --> 00:21:03.740
 Thomas Goodwin,

00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:04.459
 he says that

00:21:04.459 --> 00:21:05.599
 it's the ocean

00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:06.399
 into which

00:21:06.399 --> 00:21:07.459
 all other

00:21:07.459 --> 00:21:08.619
 doctrines run.

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:10.419
 And the

00:21:10.419 --> 00:21:11.459
 Bible uses

00:21:11.459 --> 00:21:12.779
 metaphors for

00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:13.240
 our union

00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:13.639
 because it's

00:21:13.639 --> 00:21:14.419
 just so hard

00:21:14.419 --> 00:21:14.899
 for simple

00:21:14.899 --> 00:21:15.480
 people like

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:16.639
 us to grasp

00:21:16.639 --> 00:21:17.119
 the depth

00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:17.399
 of it.

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:17.959
 It says,

00:21:18.179 --> 00:21:18.579
 He is the

00:21:18.579 --> 00:21:19.279
 vine and we

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:19.819
 are what?

00:21:20.399 --> 00:21:20.980
 The branches.

00:21:21.399 --> 00:21:21.919
 He is the

00:21:21.919 --> 00:21:22.639
 head and we

00:21:22.639 --> 00:21:23.279
 are what?

00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:24.359
 The body.

00:21:24.959 --> 00:21:25.539
 He is the

00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:26.279
 bridegroom and

00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:27.139
 we are the

00:21:27.139 --> 00:21:27.599
 bride.

00:21:27.699 --> 00:21:28.139
 He is the

00:21:28.139 --> 00:21:29.099
 cornerstone and

00:21:29.099 --> 00:21:30.079
 we are living

00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:30.980
 stones being

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:31.740
 built up into

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:32.319
 a spiritual

00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:32.719
 house.

00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:33.159
 This is

00:21:33.159 --> 00:21:33.939
 union

00:21:33.939 --> 00:21:34.799
 language.

00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:35.539
 Our entire

00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:36.519
 existence as

00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:37.500
 God's people,

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:39.359
 our Christian

00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:40.420
 life together

00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:42.140
 is empowered

00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:43.660
 and motivated

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:44.720
 by the virtue

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:45.759
 of our union

00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:46.619
 with the

00:21:46.619 --> 00:21:47.319
 living Lord

00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:48.200
 Jesus Christ.

00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:51.420
 It's such a

00:21:51.420 --> 00:21:52.380
 precious truth.

00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:55.039
 It's a remedy

00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:56.019
 for every doubt

00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:56.759
 you might have

00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:57.380
 in this world.

00:21:57.380 --> 00:22:00.580
 if you look

00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:01.280
 on earthly

00:22:01.280 --> 00:22:02.280
 things like

00:22:02.280 --> 00:22:02.740
 your own

00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:03.380
 effort,

00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:03.960
 your own

00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:04.500
 religious

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:05.500
 rule keeping,

00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:06.100
 you may

00:22:06.100 --> 00:22:06.600
 wonder,

00:22:06.760 --> 00:22:07.460
 am I good

00:22:07.460 --> 00:22:07.960
 enough to

00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:08.500
 get into

00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:08.820
 heaven?

00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:11.940
 But if you

00:22:11.940 --> 00:22:12.680
 look to your

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:13.560
 union with

00:22:13.560 --> 00:22:14.120
 Christ,

00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:15.900
 you see the

00:22:15.900 --> 00:22:16.580
 perfect life

00:22:16.580 --> 00:22:17.720
 he lived.

00:22:17.780 --> 00:22:18.200
 It's as if

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:19.640
 you perfectly

00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:20.540
 obeyed.

00:22:20.580 --> 00:22:21.400
 His record

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:21.920
 of perfect

00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:22.760
 obedience is

00:22:22.760 --> 00:22:24.060
 your record

00:22:24.060 --> 00:22:24.740
 of perfect

00:22:24.740 --> 00:22:25.540
 obedience because

00:22:25.539 --> 00:22:26.559
 you are united

00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:27.539
 to him.

00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:29.940
 If you look

00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:30.319
 on earthly

00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:31.019
 things like

00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:31.420
 your own

00:22:31.420 --> 00:22:32.740
 lingering sin

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:33.240
 and your own

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:33.500
 heart,

00:22:33.619 --> 00:22:33.920
 Christian,

00:22:34.019 --> 00:22:34.339
 your own

00:22:34.339 --> 00:22:34.899
 guilt,

00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:35.980
 your own

00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:36.539
 shame,

00:22:36.639 --> 00:22:36.839
 you may

00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:37.200
 wonder,

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:38.099
 how can I

00:22:38.099 --> 00:22:38.740
 ever get

00:22:38.740 --> 00:22:39.220
 out from

00:22:39.220 --> 00:22:39.639
 under this

00:22:39.639 --> 00:22:40.200
 burden of

00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:40.759
 guilt and

00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:41.420
 shame for

00:22:41.420 --> 00:22:41.980
 my sin?

00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:42.279
 You ever

00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:42.779
 feel that

00:22:42.779 --> 00:22:43.039
 way?

00:22:43.859 --> 00:22:44.440
 How can I

00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:44.799
 ever be

00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:45.379
 free from

00:22:45.379 --> 00:22:46.059
 the enslaving

00:22:46.059 --> 00:22:46.759
 power of

00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:47.440
 sin over

00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:47.740
 me?

00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:49.519
 But if you

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:50.180
 lift your

00:22:50.180 --> 00:22:50.700
 eyes and

00:22:50.700 --> 00:22:51.200
 look to your

00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:51.779
 union with

00:22:51.779 --> 00:22:52.139
 Christ,

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:53.059
 you see Christ

00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:53.579
 has already

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:54.700
 died to sin

00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:55.259
 once and for

00:22:55.259 --> 00:22:55.519
 all.

00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:56.659
 He has

00:22:56.659 --> 00:22:57.599
 already paid

00:22:57.599 --> 00:22:58.240
 for sin.

00:22:58.299 --> 00:22:58.440
 He has

00:22:58.440 --> 00:22:59.440
 already destroyed

00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:00.059
 sin's

00:23:00.059 --> 00:23:00.980
 enslaving power.

00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:01.659
 He has

00:23:01.659 --> 00:23:03.000
 already removed

00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:03.839
 God's wrath

00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:04.480
 from me.

00:23:04.859 --> 00:23:05.379
 He has

00:23:05.379 --> 00:23:06.359
 already borne

00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:06.980
 my guilt.

00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:07.759
 He has

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:08.599
 already carried

00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:09.460
 my shame.

00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:10.619
 I don't have

00:23:10.619 --> 00:23:11.220
 to bear that

00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:12.180
 anymore because

00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:12.819
 I am united

00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:13.539
 to him by

00:23:13.539 --> 00:23:13.980
 faith.

00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:16.159
 His death

00:23:16.159 --> 00:23:16.579
 is your

00:23:16.579 --> 00:23:17.159
 death,

00:23:17.379 --> 00:23:17.740
 Christian.

00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:18.579
 You have

00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:19.079
 died,

00:23:19.220 --> 00:23:19.799
 Paul says

00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:20.339
 in verse

00:23:20.339 --> 00:23:20.659
 3.

00:23:22.819 --> 00:23:23.559
 If you look

00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:24.039
 on earthly

00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:24.500
 things,

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:24.859
 you may

00:23:24.859 --> 00:23:25.299
 wonder,

00:23:25.299 --> 00:23:26.159
 how can I

00:23:26.159 --> 00:23:26.700
 ever live

00:23:26.700 --> 00:23:27.639
 this Christian

00:23:27.639 --> 00:23:28.180
 life that

00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:28.680
 God calls

00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:29.200
 me to live?

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:29.879
 This all

00:23:29.879 --> 00:23:30.859
 in pursuit

00:23:30.859 --> 00:23:32.399
 of the Lord,

00:23:32.460 --> 00:23:32.859
 of heavenly

00:23:32.859 --> 00:23:33.279
 things.

00:23:33.339 --> 00:23:33.720
 How can I

00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:34.399
 offer up all

00:23:34.399 --> 00:23:35.119
 my mind,

00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:35.680
 all of my

00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:36.000
 heart,

00:23:36.099 --> 00:23:36.579
 all of my

00:23:36.579 --> 00:23:36.980
 will,

00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:37.480
 all of my

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:38.279
 entire self?

00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:39.279
 may may

00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:40.359
 may may

00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:40.700
 may

00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:40.700


00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:40.700


00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:40.700


00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:40.700


00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:40.700


00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:40.700


00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:40.700


00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:40.700


00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:41.279
 may

00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:41.279


00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:42.440
 may may may may may may may

00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:55.139
!

00:23:55.140 --> 00:23:59.700
 you can see that you are raised to walk in newness of life.

00:23:59.820 --> 00:24:02.300
 You are raised as a new creation in Christ.

00:24:02.420 --> 00:24:04.740
 You can, as Paul calls us to do in Romans 6,

00:24:05.140 --> 00:24:11.460
 reckon yourself, consider yourself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:13.360
 It's almost unfathomably good news.

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.180
 And it's so hard to see right now the full depth of these truths,

00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:24.600
 but church, soon and very soon we will see, Paul says in verse 3,

00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:32.880
 you have died and your life is also hidden with Christ in God.

00:24:33.100 --> 00:24:34.140
 It is hidden.

00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:38.560
 The real you has not yet appeared.

00:24:39.740 --> 00:24:47.900
 But one day soon and very soon, Christ Jesus will return and our faith will be sight.

00:24:47.900 --> 00:24:49.180
 And verse 4 says,

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:55.600
 When Christ, who is your life, appears, you also will appear with him in glory.

00:24:55.599 --> 00:25:03.839
 That if you look on earthly things, all you will see is this weak earthen vessel

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:12.299
 that gets sick and gets tired, gets discouraged, gets weary,

00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:15.879
 wrestles with all sorts of sin and temptation.

00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:20.480
 But when you lift your eyes to heaven and you look to Christ,

00:25:20.900 --> 00:25:23.160
 and when you think on things where Christ is,

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.500
 you see Christ there risen and glorified,

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:33.460
 raised with a new, glorified, sinless, indestructible, perfected body,

00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:35.120
 never to die again.

00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:37.099
 And 1 John 3, 12 says,

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:40.379
 When we see him, we will be made like him.

00:25:42.199 --> 00:25:45.659
 We will one day be glorified,

00:25:47.179 --> 00:25:47.959
 perfected,

00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:49.679
 victorious,

00:25:50.339 --> 00:25:50.839
 sinless,

00:25:50.959 --> 00:25:55.059
 made fit for an eternity of joy in the presence of God.

00:25:55.139 --> 00:25:56.559
 Don't you want to think on these things?

00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:01.559
 Think on things where Christ is.

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:02.859
 Seek him.

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:05.859
 Set your heart's affections on him.

00:26:06.019 --> 00:26:11.960
 Make Christ and his glory the all-consuming desire and pursuit of your life.

00:26:12.019 --> 00:26:13.819
 Because you are united to him,

00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:15.399
 church, this is your life.

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:19.519
 So third, and finally,

00:26:19.679 --> 00:26:22.779
 I want to close by making this as practical as I can.

00:26:22.899 --> 00:26:25.980
 I want to give you a method for how.

00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:26.860
 This is the how.

00:26:27.380 --> 00:26:27.579
 Okay?

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:30.099
 And what are we called to do?

00:26:30.180 --> 00:26:32.200
 We're called to set our minds on Christ.

00:26:32.500 --> 00:26:32.880
 Why?

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:34.900
 It's because we are united to him.

00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:36.799
 That's who we are in him.

00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:37.940
 So how?

00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:40.700
 And I have seven very brief suggestions for you.

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:42.279
 I want to make this as practical as I can

00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:43.860
 so that even this afternoon,

00:26:44.059 --> 00:26:45.500
 you can go home and put it into practice.

00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:47.079
 First, number one,

00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:48.339
 start.

00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:51.620
 Start.

00:26:51.620 --> 00:26:51.700
 Start.

00:26:53.019 --> 00:26:55.400
 Yeah, I understand this whole idea of,

00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:56.940
 of thinking and,

00:26:56.940 --> 00:27:00.900
 and meditating and setting your minds on heavenly things.

00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:02.019
 That may be new to you.

00:27:02.080 --> 00:27:03.019
 Okay, that's fine.

00:27:03.080 --> 00:27:04.180
 Just start somewhere.

00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:06.300
 That's sometimes the hardest part.

00:27:06.380 --> 00:27:07.120
 Just start.

00:27:07.380 --> 00:27:08.280
 Just think.

00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:09.040
 Just start.

00:27:09.560 --> 00:27:10.040
 Number two,

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.320
 set a time.

00:27:12.840 --> 00:27:13.580
 Make an appointment.

00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:15.600
 Set a time.

00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.740
 Don't just wait for the random cracks in your schedule to appear

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:19.120
 and,

00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:20.480
 and then try and fill it.

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:22.420
 Although that is good to do as well.

00:27:22.859 --> 00:27:23.700
 Set a time.

00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:24.500
 Make an appointment.

00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:26.099
 Put it on your calendar.

00:27:26.660 --> 00:27:27.420
 Set a timer,

00:27:27.620 --> 00:27:27.880
 even,

00:27:27.980 --> 00:27:29.720
 for how long this appointment will last.

00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:30.359
 10 minutes,

00:27:30.460 --> 00:27:30.980
 20 minutes,

00:27:31.059 --> 00:27:31.579
 30 minutes,

00:27:31.660 --> 00:27:32.640
 whatever it may be.

00:27:32.700 --> 00:27:35.220
 But set a time and keep your appointments.

00:27:35.420 --> 00:27:35.900
 Number three,

00:27:37.980 --> 00:27:39.339
 silence all distractions.

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:42.740
 Because y'all know they're going to come.

00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:46.220
 If you need to go outside,

00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:46.879
 go outside.

00:27:47.179 --> 00:27:49.500
 If you need to leave your phone in another room,

00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:50.599
 I would recommend it.

00:27:50.679 --> 00:27:52.740
 And this is one reason why,

00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:53.359
 by the way,

00:27:53.419 --> 00:27:54.939
 this is a free nugget.

00:27:55.159 --> 00:27:57.779
 This is one reason why I prefer a physical Bible

00:27:57.779 --> 00:28:00.939
 as opposed to a digital Bible on my phone.

00:28:00.939 --> 00:28:02.539
 Because those distractions come,

00:28:02.659 --> 00:28:03.039
 don't they?

00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:05.119
 It is way too easy.

00:28:05.919 --> 00:28:09.559
 The task here is to set our minds on heavenly things.

00:28:09.639 --> 00:28:09.979
 We need to,

00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:11.359
 as best as we can,

00:28:11.579 --> 00:28:12.939
 set up the guardrails here

00:28:12.939 --> 00:28:15.879
 so that we can focus our mind and our hearts on the Lord.

00:28:15.959 --> 00:28:16.739
 That's the goal here.

00:28:16.819 --> 00:28:17.379
 So number four,

00:28:19.019 --> 00:28:20.819
 saturate your mind with the truth.

00:28:23.219 --> 00:28:24.819
 Saturate your mind with the truth.

00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:28.500
 And there is no such thing as too much.

00:28:30.639 --> 00:28:31.639
 Read your Bible.

00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:35.200
 Read your Bible.

00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:38.120
 And come to it daily.

00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:42.360
 And listen to the Word as you ride in your car.

00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:44.040
 Read good Christian books.

00:28:44.140 --> 00:28:45.500
 If you need recommendations,

00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:46.880
 y'all know I got some for you.

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:49.560
 Read above your head.

00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:51.040
 Read above your understanding.

00:28:51.660 --> 00:28:52.360
 Read together.

00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:55.540
 Memorize passages of the Word.

00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:56.460
 Memorize verses.

00:28:56.700 --> 00:28:57.780
 Memorize chapters.

00:28:57.980 --> 00:28:59.200
 Memorize entire books.

00:28:59.340 --> 00:29:00.560
 You can do it, church.

00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:03.280
 Fill your mind with the truth.

00:29:03.580 --> 00:29:06.500
 Listen diligently to sound teaching and preaching.

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:08.680
 And come not just to be entertained,

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:11.300
 but to grow and to listen and to learn

00:29:11.300 --> 00:29:12.780
 in your understanding of God's Word.

00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:15.280
 Meditate on the truth.

00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:15.500
 You know,

00:29:15.540 --> 00:29:16.720
 this is the difference between

00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:20.080
 Eastern meditation and Christian meditation.

00:29:20.780 --> 00:29:22.280
 But the goal of Christian meditation

00:29:22.280 --> 00:29:25.640
 is not to empty your mind of all thoughts.

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:26.860
 The goal of Christian meditation

00:29:26.860 --> 00:29:29.080
 is to fill your mind with the truth

00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:31.399
 and to think on what's true.

00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:32.159
 Number five.

00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:34.419
 Number five.

00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:36.740
 Select one thing.

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:39.460
 Select one thing.

00:29:39.539 --> 00:29:40.179
 If you're like me,

00:29:40.259 --> 00:29:41.259
 I read a passage

00:29:41.259 --> 00:29:43.980
 and I got about a hundred different avenues

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:44.919
 I could chase here.

00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:46.939
 Select one truth,

00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:48.339
 one idea.

00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:51.119
 This may be one truth about who God is.

00:29:51.179 --> 00:29:52.839
 Maybe it's one of His attributes.

00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:55.220
 It may be one verse from a passage you're reading.

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:58.460
 It may be a main idea that summarizes a chapter.

00:29:58.660 --> 00:30:01.680
 It may be a concept that you haven't quite figured out yet.

00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:02.980
 Whatever it is,

00:30:03.019 --> 00:30:05.480
 I want you to select one thing.

00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:06.240
 That's enough.

00:30:06.579 --> 00:30:07.700
 And think about it.

00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:10.640
 Contemplate it.

00:30:12.059 --> 00:30:14.400
 Toss it all around in your mind.

00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:16.059
 Ask good questions about it.

00:30:16.120 --> 00:30:18.360
 Ask as many questions as you can about it.

00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:20.039
 Pray about it.

00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:22.359
 And then, number six,

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.799
 I want you to savor it.

00:30:26.399 --> 00:30:28.079
 Savor it.

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:33.680
 Act as if you were tasting the greatest meal

00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:36.119
 you have ever had placed before you.

00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:41.279
 And you want to enjoy every single bite.

00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:45.920
 And you want to take note of all the different flavors.

00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:48.440
 You want to eat all of it completely.

00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.500
 You want to enjoy that to its fullest degree.

00:30:51.620 --> 00:30:52.620
 That's what you do

00:30:52.620 --> 00:30:54.519
 when you toss this truth around in your mind.

00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:57.059
 You are seeking to delight in what is true.

00:30:57.120 --> 00:30:58.100
 Not just to know it.

00:30:58.779 --> 00:31:00.840
 You're seeking to savor what is true.

00:31:00.940 --> 00:31:03.220
 You're seeking to feed and nourish

00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:05.380
 and satisfy your soul

00:31:05.380 --> 00:31:07.140
 with a feast from heaven's table.

00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:11.019
 And finally, number seven,

00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:13.420
 share it.

00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:15.920
 Share it.

00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:15.920


00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.480
 Our evangelism,

00:31:19.840 --> 00:31:22.460
 we pray often that we would be developing here

00:31:22.460 --> 00:31:23.880
 a culture of evangelism.

00:31:24.660 --> 00:31:27.720
 Our evangelism ought to be the overflow

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.460
 of our delight in God and His truth.

00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:32.380
 So you say to your neighbor,

00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:33.680
 can I just share with you something

00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:36.000
 that's been stirring in my mind today?

00:31:37.100 --> 00:31:38.380
 Can I share with you something

00:31:38.380 --> 00:31:39.900
 that I've been thinking about?

00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:41.000
 Can I share with you something

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:42.539
 I'm excited about?

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:46.539
 God, maybe our evangelism is dry

00:31:46.539 --> 00:31:48.180
 because our hearts are dull

00:31:48.180 --> 00:31:49.299
 and our minds are empty.

00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:54.799
 It's not just good to share with non-believers.

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:57.200
 We also pray for a culture of discipleship

00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:58.359
 within the church, don't we?

00:31:58.819 --> 00:32:00.420
 Share with one another.

00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:02.259
 Can you imagine the growth

00:32:02.259 --> 00:32:03.599
 that could happen in this church,

00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:04.599
 spiritual growth,

00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:06.299
 if every member

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:08.079
 was so saturated

00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:09.439
 with the truth of God

00:32:09.439 --> 00:32:11.879
 and our hearts were so filled

00:32:11.879 --> 00:32:13.919
 with love for heavenly things

00:32:13.919 --> 00:32:15.939
 and then our mouths were open

00:32:15.939 --> 00:32:17.819
 sharing and proclaiming

00:32:17.819 --> 00:32:18.859
 what God is showing us

00:32:18.859 --> 00:32:19.899
 in His Word to one another.

00:32:20.159 --> 00:32:21.119
 This is how the church

00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:23.240
 builds itself up in love, isn't it?

00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:25.939
 By speaking the truth in love,

00:32:26.019 --> 00:32:26.639
 we grow up

00:32:26.639 --> 00:32:28.259
 into Christ,

00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:29.859
 but we can't give to others

00:32:29.859 --> 00:32:31.599
 what we don't have yet

00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:32.579
 ourselves.

00:32:35.199 --> 00:32:36.119
 Church, there is

00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:37.899
 nothing greater

00:32:37.899 --> 00:32:40.779
 that you can set your mind on

00:32:40.779 --> 00:32:42.419
 than thoughts of God

00:32:42.419 --> 00:32:43.639
 and His glory.

00:32:44.179 --> 00:32:44.459
 Amen?

00:32:46.459 --> 00:32:48.019
 One of my favorite little books

00:32:48.019 --> 00:32:50.319
 is Richard Baxter's

00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:52.839
 The Saint's Everlasting Rest.

00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:54.719
 And in it,

00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:56.079
 he encourages believers

00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:57.039
 to think

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:58.359
 and to meditate,

00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:00.259
 to contemplate the glory

00:33:00.259 --> 00:33:01.079
 that's ahead of you

00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:02.400
 who know the Lord.

00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:03.099
 And I just want to share

00:33:03.099 --> 00:33:03.920
 a couple of passages

00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:04.900
 from that book

00:33:04.900 --> 00:33:05.480
 as we close.

00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.039
 He says,

00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.480
 If there be so certain

00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:10.259
 and glorious

00:33:10.259 --> 00:33:11.559
 a rest for the saints,

00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:13.680
 why is there no more

00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:15.240
 earnest seeking after it?

00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:17.160
 One would think

00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:18.539
 if a man did but once

00:33:18.539 --> 00:33:20.619
 hear of such unspeakable glory

00:33:20.619 --> 00:33:21.379
 to be obtained

00:33:21.379 --> 00:33:22.980
 and believed what he heard,

00:33:23.140 --> 00:33:24.579
 he would be transported

00:33:24.579 --> 00:33:25.660
 with the vehemency

00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:27.140
 of his desire after it

00:33:27.140 --> 00:33:28.160
 and would almost forget

00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:29.299
 to eat and drink

00:33:29.299 --> 00:33:31.079
 and would care for nothing else

00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:31.940
 and speak of

00:33:31.940 --> 00:33:33.480
 and inquire after nothing else

00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:34.899
 but how to get this treasure.

00:33:38.259 --> 00:33:39.680
 And yet people who hear of it daily

00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:41.079
 and profess to believe it

00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:43.039
 as a fundamental article

00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:43.819
 of their faith

00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:45.159
 pay as little mind of it

00:33:45.159 --> 00:33:46.799
 or labor for it

00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:47.700
 as if they had never heard

00:33:47.700 --> 00:33:48.779
 of any such thing at all

00:33:48.779 --> 00:33:50.639
 or did not believe

00:33:50.639 --> 00:33:51.559
 one word that they heard.

00:33:53.639 --> 00:33:54.579
 So he says,

00:33:54.579 --> 00:33:56.159
 make conscience

00:33:56.159 --> 00:33:58.500
 of daily exercising

00:33:58.500 --> 00:33:59.259
 thy graces

00:33:59.259 --> 00:34:00.059
 in meditation

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:01.039
 as well as in prayer.

00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:03.919
 Retire into some secret place

00:34:03.919 --> 00:34:04.419
 at a time

00:34:04.419 --> 00:34:05.139
 the most convenient

00:34:05.139 --> 00:34:05.899
 to thyself

00:34:05.899 --> 00:34:07.379
 and laying aside

00:34:07.379 --> 00:34:08.599
 all worldly thoughts

00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:10.519
 with all possible seriousness

00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:11.460
 and reverence,

00:34:12.319 --> 00:34:14.139
 look up towards heaven.

00:34:15.759 --> 00:34:16.639
 Remember there

00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:18.619
 is thine everlasting rest.

00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:21.360
 Study its excellency

00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:22.300
 and reality

00:34:22.300 --> 00:34:24.180
 and rise from sense

00:34:24.180 --> 00:34:24.980
 to faith

00:34:24.980 --> 00:34:26.079
 by comparing heavenly

00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:27.160
 with earthly joys

00:34:27.160 --> 00:34:28.519
 and then having pleaded

00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:29.700
 the case reverently

00:34:29.700 --> 00:34:30.320
 with God

00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:31.880
 and seriously

00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:32.880
 with thine own heart

00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:35.019
 now hast pleaded thyself

00:34:35.019 --> 00:34:35.780
 from a clod

00:34:35.780 --> 00:34:36.519
 to a flame

00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:38.539
 from a forgetful sinner

00:34:38.539 --> 00:34:39.960
 and a lover of the world

00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:41.140
 to an ardent lover

00:34:41.140 --> 00:34:41.880
 of God

00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:44.039
 from a fearful coward

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:45.620
 to a resolved Christian

00:34:45.620 --> 00:34:48.140
 from an unfruitful sadness

00:34:48.140 --> 00:34:49.460
 to a joyful life

00:34:49.460 --> 00:34:50.960
 in a word

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:52.980
 thou hast pleaded thy heart

00:34:52.980 --> 00:34:53.619
 from earth

00:34:53.619 --> 00:34:54.579
 to heaven

00:34:54.579 --> 00:34:56.760
 from conversing below

00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:57.940
 to walking with God

00:34:57.940 --> 00:34:59.860
 until thou canst

00:34:59.860 --> 00:35:01.059
 lay thy heart to rest

00:35:01.059 --> 00:35:02.300
 as in the bosom of Christ

00:35:02.300 --> 00:35:04.079
 by some such meditation

00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:06.579
 of thy everlasting rest.

00:35:06.699 --> 00:35:07.059
 Church

00:35:07.059 --> 00:35:11.139
 let us love the Lord our God

00:35:11.139 --> 00:35:12.900
 with all of our mind

00:35:12.900 --> 00:35:16.099
 if then you have been raised

00:35:16.099 --> 00:35:16.699
 with Christ

00:35:16.699 --> 00:35:17.799
 seek the things

00:35:17.799 --> 00:35:19.219
 that are above.

00:35:19.339 --> 00:35:20.179
 Father we pray

00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:22.559
 would you fill our minds

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:23.519
 with thoughts of Christ?

00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:26.299
 Would you remove

00:35:26.299 --> 00:35:28.319
 every desire

00:35:28.319 --> 00:35:30.439
 every inclination

00:35:30.439 --> 00:35:31.139
 of the heart

00:35:31.139 --> 00:35:32.699
 every thought

00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:34.659
 that dwells on earthly things

00:35:34.659 --> 00:35:35.739
 and would you replace it

00:35:35.739 --> 00:35:37.359
 with eternal truth?

00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:40.000
 Father we praise you

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:41.419
 that Christ has come

00:35:41.419 --> 00:35:42.719
 from heaven to earth

00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:44.639
 Lord to lift us up

00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:45.480
 from earth to heaven

00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:46.260
 and we pray God

00:35:46.260 --> 00:35:46.980
 if there are any here

00:35:46.980 --> 00:35:48.260
 who have not yet

00:35:48.260 --> 00:35:49.539
 put their faith in Christ

00:35:49.539 --> 00:35:50.480
 would you lead them

00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:51.039
 to do so

00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:52.260
 by the power of your grace

00:35:52.260 --> 00:35:53.139
 by your spirit

00:35:53.139 --> 00:35:54.539
 unite them

00:35:54.539 --> 00:35:55.659
 with a risen Christ

00:35:55.659 --> 00:35:58.280
 we pray all this

00:35:58.280 --> 00:35:58.900
 in Jesus name

00:35:58.900 --> 00:36:00.119
 Amen

00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:06.339
 may may may

00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339

00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339

00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339

00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339


00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.339
