00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:05.540
 Father, we give you thanks and praise that Jesus is present amongst us this morning.

00:00:06.100 --> 00:00:11.919
 We thank you, Father, that we have the great privilege and honor to meet with Jesus in the presence of his people.

00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:20.000
 And we acknowledge before you, Father, that we can't come based on our own righteousness, our own specialness,

00:00:20.740 --> 00:00:25.179
 and we can't come in our own power, that we are always dependent upon your grace.

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.699
 We are always dependent upon your Holy Spirit drawing us.

00:00:28.699 --> 00:00:34.460
 So, Father, we ask that now as we think upon your word written,

00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:41.340
 that your Holy Spirit would move deeply in our minds and hearts and wills, move in our souls and in our bodies,

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:47.399
 and make us, Father, receptive to your word so that your word may come deeply into us,

00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.739
 touch our hearts, and our lives will then bring you glory.

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:56.500
 And this we ask in Jesus' name, your Son and our Savior. Amen.

00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:58.140
 Amen. Please be seated.

00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:07.299
 This is going to make it sound like I'm a world traveler. I'm not a world traveler.

00:01:07.460 --> 00:01:12.560
 But about 13, 14 years ago, something like that, I got to go to Africa.

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:17.740
 I went to a conference of Anglican leaders from around the world.

00:01:17.739 --> 00:01:20.780
 And we were going to meet in Kenya.

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.979
 And in fact, we were going to meet in a seminary that Africans went to.

00:01:26.099 --> 00:01:28.379
 So it wasn't like five-star fancy.

00:01:28.899 --> 00:01:33.959
 Often places when you go to Africa where tourists go, they're very nice.

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.719
 This is where it wasn't that it was bad, but it was just it was far more simple and rudimentary.

00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.000
 And it was going to be about 40, 50 kilometers.

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.939
 I think it was north of Nairobi.

00:01:43.540 --> 00:01:50.640
 Anyway, just a month or so after we'd already bought my plane ticket, before we went,

00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:56.400
 there started to be a travel advisory from the Canadian government recommending that Canadians not travel to Kenya.

00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:02.260
 Some naughty people had been trying to shoot planes down from the sky when they were landing at the airport.

00:02:03.380 --> 00:02:09.580
 There were some attacks against people by terrorist types on top of the normal crime.

00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.719
 And so there was a travel advisory against going.

00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:20.180
 And in fact, actually, all of the airlines at the time that flew into Nairobi canceled their flights.

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.439
 Only KLM was still flying into Nairobi.

00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.039
 But that was actually the airline that I was with.

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.240
 My wife and I talked about it and we prayed about it and I decided I would still go.

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:37.159
 And so I went and got there eventually after a lot of travel, got there in an evening.

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.819
 And later on the next day in the afternoon, I'm a runner.

00:02:42.139 --> 00:02:45.939
 Well, actually, increasingly, I'm a daughterer.

00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.000
 But I was a runner back then still.

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.500
 And so I went in the afternoon for a run.

00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:56.060
 And I got about two kilometers, we're way out in the country, quite rural.

00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.340
 And I'm out running along this rural road.

00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.960
 And I'm about two kilometers away from the place where I was staying.

00:03:03.139 --> 00:03:09.620
 And walking towards me down the center of the road were about 12, 15, 20 young black men,

00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:11.180
 every one of them carrying a machete.

00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:14.280
 And they were walking towards me.

00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:17.219
 I mean, they weren't hunting for me.

00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:18.920
 I wasn't that paranoid or anything.

00:03:19.099 --> 00:03:21.980
 But they were walking towards me and I was running towards them.

00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:24.740
 So I'm running along and inwardly I'm having this dialogue.

00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:27.140
 Maybe I should turn around.

00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:34.319
 Maybe I should turn around and go back to the place where I'm staying and not keep running towards them.

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.120
 And on the other hand, I'm thinking, no, no, no, no, no.

00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:43.919
 This would be, you know, this would just, you know, reinforce stereotypes that, of these wonderful people in Kenya

00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.599
 that people like me are just afraid of them.

00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.519
 And, you know, we don't understand what's going on.

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:53.199
 And it would be sort of rude for me to see them and turn around and run the other way.

00:03:53.780 --> 00:03:56.579
 And then I'm trying to decide, I don't want to do that.

00:03:56.579 --> 00:03:58.139
 And then I'm running towards them still.

00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.500
 I'm thinking, this could be a really, really dumb way to die.

00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:07.659
 And I'm actually going through my mind that I get hacked to death.

00:04:08.379 --> 00:04:12.360
 And back with all of the other several, you know, 150 people at the conference,

00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:14.879
 on one hand, they'd all be very, very sad.

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.819
 But I also know they would then be saying to each other, what a dumb way to die.

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:25.740
 Like, who in their right mind runs towards 15 young men with machetes after travel advisories?

00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:31.100
 I just pictured my poor wife having a funeral ceremony for me here in Ottawa.

00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:35.100
 And while everybody was expressing their condolences, when they weren't with her,

00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:36.480
 they were saying, what a dumb way to die.

00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.300
 What a stupid thing for George to do.

00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:43.459
 On a long list of stupid things, this was the dumbest.

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.339
 Anyway, these thoughts are all going back and forth in my mind, obviously.

00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:48.779
 Actually, I didn't turn around.

00:04:48.779 --> 00:04:50.139
 I kept running towards them.

00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.500
 And I thought, well, anyway, I just thought that's what I would just do.

00:04:56.100 --> 00:04:57.860
 That I was being, I shouldn't be afraid.

00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.420
 And sure enough, they were all just friendly local people.

00:05:01.579 --> 00:05:03.139
 They all laughed and waved.

00:05:03.339 --> 00:05:07.779
 And I discovered that not many people in that part of Kenya, I suppose,

00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.699
 were used to middle-aged white men running along the road in shorts.

00:05:11.459 --> 00:05:15.420
 So everywhere I went, people waved and pointed and laughed.

00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:19.360
 I caused lots of merriment every day for the locals.

00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:21.980
 And anyway, they just all waved.

00:05:22.100 --> 00:05:25.879
 And I can't remember now, there was a greeting you yelled back and forth in Kenya.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:26.879
 And they yelled that at me.

00:05:26.900 --> 00:05:27.860
 And I had learned at the time.

00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:28.780
 I yelled it back to them.

00:05:28.819 --> 00:05:29.740
 And there was a response.

00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:30.520
 And I responded.

00:05:30.900 --> 00:05:31.920
 Then they said something else.

00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:34.280
 And I hadn't been trained what the third thing was to say.

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:35.660
 But I was alive.

00:05:35.740 --> 00:05:36.620
 And I was fine.

00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.259
 But it brings up, you know, that there are some really, really dumb ways to die.

00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:49.480
 And what I'd like us to look at today is a letter written by a man in jail.

00:05:50.539 --> 00:05:53.219
 And this letter was written by a man in jail.

00:05:53.699 --> 00:05:55.659
 He's a very interesting fellow.

00:05:56.719 --> 00:06:01.219
 He had at one point in time been a zealot Jewish person

00:06:01.219 --> 00:06:05.800
 who'd actually been responsible for the imprisonment of many Christians.

00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:11.699
 And it actually, in a sense, concurred with the murder of a Christian.

00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:17.800
 And then he claimed that Jesus, he actually saw the risen Jesus.

00:06:18.520 --> 00:06:20.860
 And it completely turned his life around.

00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.080
 And there is a record.

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.840
 We have this record of a letter that he wrote.

00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:30.439
 And the context is, it's so funny, you know.

00:06:30.699 --> 00:06:32.100
 It's held in the Bible.

00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:37.420
 And I have to confess, I have this, you know, black sort of vague leather and gold on the edge.

00:06:37.700 --> 00:06:42.800
 But this originally started, in fact, if you could just turn to 2 Timothy 2 because we're going to look at it.

00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.140
 It's called, now we know it as 2 Timothy 2.

00:06:45.540 --> 00:06:48.980
 But it wasn't originally written as 2 Timothy 2 to go into the Bible.

00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:51.379
 It was written by this fellow by the name of Paul.

00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.780
 It was probably written around the year 65 or 66.

00:06:54.779 --> 00:06:58.299
 That's 65 or 66 with a zero in front of it.

00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:02.399
 Like not 165 or 1965, but 65.

00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:11.819
 And we know from the context and this letter that it was, this fellow Paul had been in jail many, many times.

00:07:12.579 --> 00:07:15.239
 But this is the second time he's in jail in Rome.

00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:17.079
 Nero is the emperor.

00:07:18.159 --> 00:07:23.000
 Nero has been slaughtering Christians in Rome starting in the year 64.

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.879
 And Paul has been caught again.

00:07:26.620 --> 00:07:27.699
 He's in a dungeon.

00:07:28.779 --> 00:07:31.339
 And he's bound with fetters and chains.

00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.740
 And he's been bureaucratically lost.

00:07:34.860 --> 00:07:37.019
 You know what bureaucratically lost means?

00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:41.839
 Maybe some of you who've come here from other countries, and probably it happens here in Canada.

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:48.000
 When friends and family went looking for Paul to see how he was, oh, I don't know where he is.

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.959
 But when the executioner wants to find Paul, they take him right to it.

00:07:53.019 --> 00:07:55.279
 You know, that's called bureaucratically lost, right?

00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.879
 Lost to outsiders, but not lost to the bureaucrats.

00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.319
 And this fellow, he's written this letter.

00:08:02.420 --> 00:08:04.800
 He's now had a trial, a preliminary trial.

00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:06.779
 It's gone very, very poorly.

00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.660
 And so now he's in a dungeon.

00:08:10.660 --> 00:08:17.260
 He's, to all intents and purposes, except for this one fellow who's hunted him down, he's lost to outsiders.

00:08:18.260 --> 00:08:24.440
 Paul knows that the next trial, which is going to be more of a kangaroo court with a sentence,

00:08:25.140 --> 00:08:29.900
 that it's going to happen very soon, maybe the next day, maybe the next week, maybe the next month, very soon.

00:08:30.260 --> 00:08:31.879
 And Paul knows he's going to be found guilty.

00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:35.840
 And he knows that after that, they're going to take him out, and they're going to cut his head off to kill him.

00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.519
 And that's, in fact, how Paul dies.

00:08:39.620 --> 00:08:44.460
 Peter, as a bit of an aside, another early Christian, he died by crucifixion.

00:08:44.899 --> 00:08:48.240
 But Paul couldn't be crucified because he was a Roman citizen.

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.500
 And so Paul is going to be executed by beheading.

00:08:53.139 --> 00:08:54.379
 So Paul is in a dungeon.

00:08:55.420 --> 00:08:57.060
 The first trial has gone bad.

00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.720
 He's awaiting the second and final trial that will lead to his conviction and his death.

00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:03.920
 And he writes this letter.

00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.659
 So let's look at it.

00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:12.839
 And at the heart of this letter is, was it a dumb way for Paul to die?

00:09:13.699 --> 00:09:17.539
 Because as you're going to see in the letter, all Paul had to do was say that, you know what?

00:09:17.779 --> 00:09:18.679
 Jesus is dead.

00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:21.559
 Jesus is dead.

00:09:21.860 --> 00:09:23.139
 Like, I just made it up.

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:25.419
 Like, I meant well.

00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.360
 And, you know, it's really provided a lot of meaning to a lot of people.

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.279
 Like, it's a very, very great metaphor for life.

00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.899
 It's a great symbol of lots of stuff.

00:09:35.259 --> 00:09:39.339
 It gives lots of people a minute of comfort and hope internally.

00:09:39.860 --> 00:09:41.139
 But I made it up.

00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.100
 And all Paul had to say was, I made it up.

00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.259
 Or it's not true.

00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.100
 And he had that get out of jail free card.

00:09:50.339 --> 00:09:51.179
 That's all he had to do.

00:09:52.339 --> 00:09:53.519
 Say, I got out of jail.

00:09:53.839 --> 00:09:55.579
 It didn't happen.

00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:57.639
 And I won't say that it happened anymore.

00:09:58.200 --> 00:09:59.259
 And Paul could go free.

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:06.560
 So what we're looking at here is, did Paul die a really dumb way?

00:10:07.400 --> 00:10:09.620
 Like a dumb, dumb way to die.

00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.020
 He wasn't married.

00:10:11.379 --> 00:10:12.700
 But he had nephews and nieces.

00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:18.420
 And we're his nephews and nieces saying, gosh, Uncle Paul, you're such a goof.

00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:21.799
 Like, just tell people the truth.

00:10:22.299 --> 00:10:24.059
 Like, just don't die.

00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.039
 Don't, such a dumb way to die.

00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:27.639
 Let's look.

00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:29.259
 We'll begin at verse 1.

00:10:29.459 --> 00:10:30.779
 Just so you get a bit of the context.

00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.459
 It's going to be a few verses in before you, we get to the part that's sort of very interesting.

00:10:35.539 --> 00:10:37.379
 Although, actually, it says something very interesting right at the beginning.

00:10:37.899 --> 00:10:38.419
 Verse 1.

00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:40.879
 And just a bit of an aside as well.

00:10:40.939 --> 00:10:42.659
 Like, it looks all fancy right now in our Bibles.

00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:47.740
 But it really was just a letter that was probably written around 65 or 66 or 67.

00:10:47.939 --> 00:10:48.659
 Something like that.

00:10:48.740 --> 00:10:50.639
 There not know precisely where, but somewhere in there.

00:10:51.379 --> 00:10:52.939
 And so it was originally a letter.

00:10:53.179 --> 00:10:57.079
 And you can go and see not the original one, obviously, but copies of it throughout the years.

00:10:57.079 --> 00:10:58.519
 But it looks really nice in our Bible.

00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:05.159
 And verses and all were added many, many, many centuries later just to help people find parts in it.

00:11:05.219 --> 00:11:06.219
 They weren't there, obviously.

00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:15.200
 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, verse 1, by the will of God, according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus.

00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:16.160
 And just pause there.

00:11:17.160 --> 00:11:20.279
 The promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus.

00:11:20.779 --> 00:11:25.820
 A few years ago, the Armed Forces of Canada had an advertising campaign.

00:11:26.060 --> 00:11:29.540
 And at the heart of it was a slogan, there's no life like it.

00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:34.699
 Now, if you know anybody who's served in the military, you can ask them about it.

00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:39.879
 And they will tell you a range of rude things that people in the Armed Forces said about the slogan.

00:11:42.419 --> 00:11:44.139
 I'm not going to say any of these rude things.

00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:45.219
 But you trust me.

00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:46.699
 You ask some people in the Armed Forces.

00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.899
 They have a variety of ironic or rude things that they would say about it.

00:11:49.899 --> 00:11:54.159
 And so just so you understand here, that's not what Paul is saying here.

00:11:54.939 --> 00:12:01.539
 When the Armed Forces was using the slogan, there's no life like it, what they really mean is there's no lifestyle like it.

00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:02.579
 That's what they mean.

00:12:03.319 --> 00:12:03.539
 Okay?

00:12:03.579 --> 00:12:04.980
 There's no lifestyle like it.

00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:06.840
 So Paul here isn't saying Paul.

00:12:06.939 --> 00:12:08.740
 Remember, he's in fetters.

00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:09.500
 He's in chains.

00:12:09.579 --> 00:12:10.259
 He's in a dungeon.

00:12:10.259 --> 00:12:10.340
 He's in a dungeon.

00:12:10.700 --> 00:12:13.960
 He's already been found guilty of the preliminary trial.

00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:18.139
 He's waiting a kangaroo court to pronounce him guilty.

00:12:18.419 --> 00:12:19.500
 And he's going to be executed.

00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:21.840
 He has a get-out-of-jail-free card.

00:12:22.700 --> 00:12:25.179
 And Paul is writing this letter to his friend Timothy.

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.319
 And how does he begin the letter?

00:12:27.860 --> 00:12:33.519
 And he also, by the way, knows that the officials will probably look at the letter before it goes out.

00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:37.480
 Okay?

00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.420
 So what's Paul going to do?

00:12:41.180 --> 00:12:42.620
 He begins his letter by saying,

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:49.740
 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus.

00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.620
 There's life in Christ Jesus.

00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:58.300
 Not a lively lifestyle, but life in Christ Jesus.

00:12:58.920 --> 00:13:01.539
 It's not the way you talk about a person who's dead.

00:13:01.539 --> 00:13:09.219
 It's not the way you write to impress jailers and judges in a kangaroo court so you can go free.

00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:14.120
 You write it so that if they start to read it, immediately they're going to say,

00:13:14.199 --> 00:13:15.740
 Good grief, that guy's still saying that.

00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:19.199
 Bleepity, bleepity, bleepity, bleepity, bleep stuff.

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:23.100
 Verse 2.

00:13:23.540 --> 00:13:25.200
 To Timothy, my beloved child.

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:30.360
 Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:35.080
 Note he's talking as if Jesus is alive and can do things.

00:13:35.940 --> 00:13:36.540
 Verse 3.

00:13:36.539 --> 00:13:43.039
 I thank God whom I serve as did my ancestors with a clear conscience.

00:13:45.459 --> 00:13:49.019
 He's in jail, but he has a clear conscience.

00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:51.620
 He's not lying.

00:13:53.579 --> 00:13:54.959
 He's speaking the truth.

00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:56.539
 His conscience is clear.

00:13:56.539 --> 00:14:02.500
 I thank God whom I serve as did my ancestors with a clear conscience.

00:14:03.620 --> 00:14:07.079
 As I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.

00:14:07.539 --> 00:14:09.379
 As I remember your tears.

00:14:09.839 --> 00:14:12.559
 I long to see you that I may be filled with joy.

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:15.959
 I am reminded of your sincere faith.

00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.099
 A faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois.

00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:21.079
 And your mother Eunice.

00:14:21.719 --> 00:14:23.819
 And now I am sure dwells in you as well.

00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:24.939
 Just pause for a second.

00:14:24.940 --> 00:14:30.400
 And it's sort of really cool that Paul, in his cell that's going to lead to his death,

00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:31.480
 thinks of grandmothers.

00:14:32.520 --> 00:14:35.700
 It's not one of my points, but if you're a grandmother here,

00:14:37.860 --> 00:14:39.920
 godly grandmothers are really important.

00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.080
 Just as godly mothers are.

00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:45.580
 And it's just so, you know, here it is.

00:14:45.640 --> 00:14:50.520
 It's just like a little shout out right here for godly grandmothers and godly mothers.

00:14:50.660 --> 00:14:51.760
 To pray for your kids.

00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:53.460
 Pray for your kids.

00:14:53.460 --> 00:14:56.620
 Don't give up ever praying for your kids.

00:14:57.980 --> 00:14:58.920
 We'll keep going.

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:00.379
 Where was I?

00:15:00.540 --> 00:15:01.280
 Verse 6.

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:05.500
 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God,

00:15:06.040 --> 00:15:08.680
 which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.160
 For God gave us a spirit,

00:15:11.300 --> 00:15:13.259
 and that spirit there should be capitalized.

00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:15.379
 It's the Holy Spirit that he's referring to.

00:15:15.920 --> 00:15:17.100
 He's not talking about an attitude.

00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:18.340
 He's talking about a spirit.

00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:25.879
 For God gave us a spirit, not of fear, but of love, power, and love, and self-control.

00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:26.540
 And just sort of pause.

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:27.860
 I know I haven't got to the evidence.

00:15:27.920 --> 00:15:30.480
 I mean, we already looked at some evidence here about what Paul,

00:15:31.180 --> 00:15:33.580
 about how he's going to handle the get-out-of-jail-free card.

00:15:33.580 --> 00:15:37.400
 But the word fear here, when it says God gave us a spirit,

00:15:37.540 --> 00:15:38.980
 like what does the Holy Spirit give us?

00:15:39.300 --> 00:15:40.080
 Not of fear.

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.100
 And the word fear there isn't the same word which is translated in other places,

00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.379
 like that can be maybe good in terms of a fear of God.

00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:49.940
 It could also be translated,

00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:53.960
 if you were using more words and the grammar would be messed up,

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.500
 it means being a coward.

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:59.900
 The Holy Spirit never leads you to be a coward.

00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:01.220
 Never.

00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.040
 You know, and one of the things here,

00:16:04.280 --> 00:16:05.879
 and we're going to return to this at the very end,

00:16:05.920 --> 00:16:07.860
 it's just a quick application right here.

00:16:07.900 --> 00:16:10.420
 You know, one of the hardest things for most of us to confess to

00:16:10.420 --> 00:16:11.240
 is that we're a coward.

00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:15.080
 You know, there's socially acceptable things.

00:16:15.180 --> 00:16:16.100
 You know, we might say, like,

00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:18.759
 nobody makes a big deal about the fact that you might be afraid of heights

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:21.500
 or, you know, afraid of, you know, being in an enclosed space

00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:22.440
 or something like that.

00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.400
 But just, you know, generally in areas where people should have,

00:16:25.820 --> 00:16:30.140
 you know, be a big, strong woman or a strong man,

00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:32.480
 and we're not, we cover it up.

00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:34.820
 We don't want to acknowledge it about ourselves.

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:36.000
 We cover it up from others.

00:16:36.180 --> 00:16:38.340
 We try to say about how we're being reasonable,

00:16:38.520 --> 00:16:40.040
 we're being patient, we're being,

00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:42.680
 you know, we're taking, turning the other cheek.

00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:44.180
 We talk a lot about language.

00:16:44.300 --> 00:16:46.780
 But one of the hardest things for any of us to confess to,

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:48.200
 even to ourselves,

00:16:48.300 --> 00:16:50.600
 is that we are a coward in this situation.

00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:55.300
 In fact, you know, whether or not you believe in the gospel or not,

00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:57.279
 if you just see this text,

00:16:57.379 --> 00:16:59.860
 just as a matter of pure wisdom,

00:17:01.420 --> 00:17:03.820
 isn't it true that we have a hard time acknowledging

00:17:03.820 --> 00:17:06.000
 that we're a coward sometimes about certain things?

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:09.120
 Maybe we're brave everywhere except talking to our mother-in-law,

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:10.620
 or our father-in-law,

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:11.559
 or our daughter,

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:12.559
 or our boss.

00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:14.660
 Brave everywhere else except in that one area.

00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:19.440
 And isn't it really interesting what it says that the Holy Spirit does give us?

00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.860
 The Holy Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control.

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:27.440
 What a wise combination of virtues.

00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:30.100
 Like, isn't that, even if you're not a Christian,

00:17:30.340 --> 00:17:32.680
 isn't that something that you'd want?

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.440
 Power, love, and self-control.

00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:37.600
 You don't want power without love.

00:17:37.800 --> 00:17:40.560
 The world is filled with people with power without love.

00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:43.639
 And the world is filled with people with power with no self-control.

00:17:43.899 --> 00:17:47.159
 And you don't want to just be love with no power or no self-control.

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:48.879
 You don't want to have self-control without power.

00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:51.779
 Isn't this a wise three things to want?

00:17:53.379 --> 00:17:55.599
 Like, isn't this a good thing to pray for?

00:17:57.879 --> 00:17:58.940
 Let's just keep going.

00:17:59.039 --> 00:17:59.440
 Verse 8.

00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.039
 Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord,

00:18:03.639 --> 00:18:04.899
 nor of me, his prisoner,

00:18:05.740 --> 00:18:09.500
 but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:14.460
 Now, I just sort of want to, you know, pause there for another second.

00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:16.379
 This is another really important,

00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:18.220
 just for those of us who are Christians,

00:18:18.339 --> 00:18:20.119
 a bit of a, just a time out here,

00:18:20.179 --> 00:18:21.500
 just to camp here for a second.

00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:27.779
 This is a really, really, really important little verse.

00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:34.259
 The choice before a Christian is always whether or not

00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:36.960
 he or she will be ashamed of the gospel

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:38.379
 or suffer for the gospel.

00:18:38.380 --> 00:18:41.620
 It's the constant choice.

00:18:42.800 --> 00:18:44.920
 Just a couple of months ago,

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:47.600
 I was in a Starbucks out in Kanata,

00:18:47.800 --> 00:18:50.920
 and I got talking to a guy who was involved in high tech.

00:18:51.900 --> 00:18:55.800
 And he had just noticed me reading one of these big commentaries,

00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:58.460
 and he noticed me reading these big fat books many times,

00:18:58.560 --> 00:19:00.480
 and I guess he'd never quite figured out what they were.

00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.860
 And I guess he thought I was learned or something like that,

00:19:03.859 --> 00:19:05.839
 or like reading serious types of stuff.

00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:07.459
 And he got into a conversation with me,

00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:09.539
 and somehow or another in the conversation,

00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:12.879
 very quickly it turned about how not being,

00:19:12.959 --> 00:19:15.199
 like being a Christian was being on the wrong side,

00:19:15.339 --> 00:19:19.979
 the uneducated, unintelligent side of the divide.

00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:23.059
 And I have this brief moment.

00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:24.559
 He's well-dressed.

00:19:24.779 --> 00:19:25.759
 He's well-spoken.

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:28.279
 He probably makes two or three times what I do,

00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:30.400
 well-educated,

00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.200
 and he's just dismissed the Christian faith.

00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:34.660
 What do I do?

00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:38.140
 Now, it's very, very tiny suffering,

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:41.060
 but do I want him to think I'm one of those dumb people

00:19:41.060 --> 00:19:42.840
 who take the wrong side?

00:19:44.600 --> 00:19:46.580
 Am I going to be ashamed of the gospel,

00:19:47.060 --> 00:19:49.240
 or am I going to be willing to suffer

00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.600
 or share that I believe the gospel

00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:54.160
 and potentially suffer just a small way?

00:19:55.580 --> 00:19:56.900
 The choice before me,

00:19:57.660 --> 00:19:59.300
 be ashamed or suffer.

00:20:00.840 --> 00:20:03.560
 That is a daily thing that we walk

00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:05.520
 in post-Christendom Canada.

00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:09.539
 Now, to my shame,

00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:11.700
 there are times when it's hard for me

00:20:11.700 --> 00:20:13.180
 to be willing to do that,

00:20:13.259 --> 00:20:14.359
 but in this particular case,

00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:15.079
 I said, well, actually,

00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:18.599
 I'm one of those dumb people on the wrong side.

00:20:20.299 --> 00:20:21.720
 Now, in this particular case,

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:22.740
 I didn't suffer for it.

00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:23.960
 He got red and embarrassed.

00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:26.980
 But you see, often what it is

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:29.180
 is that the devil uses our fear of suffering

00:20:29.180 --> 00:20:33.319
 to help us be ashamed of the gospel,

00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.059
 when actually, if we're not ashamed of the gospel,

00:20:36.139 --> 00:20:37.460
 we actually don't sometimes suffer.

00:20:37.539 --> 00:20:38.639
 Sometimes we do, by the way,

00:20:38.700 --> 00:20:40.379
 as many of us can give stories of.

00:20:41.579 --> 00:20:43.579
 And so it's that very, very important moment

00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:44.079
 in the text.

00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:46.759
 It sends this two directions or pass for us.

00:20:46.779 --> 00:20:47.599
 And just one other thing.

00:20:47.659 --> 00:20:50.039
 I know it's another bit of a time out.

00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:52.259
 But some of you know that one of the things

00:20:52.259 --> 00:20:56.339
 that our church has started is Royal College.

00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.099
 And there's a need to have

00:21:00.099 --> 00:21:02.139
 a cross-denominational evangelical

00:21:02.139 --> 00:21:04.480
 training college in Ottawa.

00:21:05.159 --> 00:21:07.460
 In a sense, we want to be your friendly neighborhood

00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:10.420
 evangelical cross-denominational training college,

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:11.980
 but also a witness to the nation.

00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:15.460
 And one of the things that many academics

00:21:15.460 --> 00:21:17.360
 who teach theology,

00:21:18.360 --> 00:21:20.339
 at the heart of what they're saying,

00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:21.880
 and it can be very sophisticated,

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:24.299
 when I went to my liberal seminary,

00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:25.980
 I'm dealing with guys and gals

00:21:25.980 --> 00:21:27.240
 who know five languages,

00:21:28.120 --> 00:21:28.980
 one or more PhDs,

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:32.279
 they're bright, higher IQ than me,

00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:33.259
 nicer people than me,

00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:34.880
 but what was actually at work

00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:36.640
 in much of what they were talking about

00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.440
 was they were ashamed of the gospel.

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.920
 And they didn't want to suffer for the gospel.

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:45.340
 So they blunted the gospel

00:21:45.340 --> 00:21:46.960
 and twisted the gospel.

00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:49.120
 And one of the things

00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:50.799
 which I am so pleased about

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:52.259
 is that guys like Gary

00:21:52.259 --> 00:21:54.680
 and the academics that we have teaching

00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:56.299
 are not ashamed of the gospel.

00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:57.820
 They aren't.

00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:00.620
 And there is a profound need

00:22:00.620 --> 00:22:02.380
 for a college with professors

00:22:02.380 --> 00:22:04.100
 who are unashamed of the gospel

00:22:04.100 --> 00:22:07.019
 to teach unashamed workers.

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:09.779
 They equip them.

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:11.480
 So if you could just pray

00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:12.519
 for a while, college,

00:22:12.840 --> 00:22:13.820
 you know, we need some money

00:22:13.820 --> 00:22:14.519
 and some other help

00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:15.519
 if you want to make a donation,

00:22:15.620 --> 00:22:16.100
 that would be good.

00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:16.920
 I didn't know I was going to go

00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:17.880
 all that direction with it,

00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:19.180
 but it's just a really important moment.

00:22:19.620 --> 00:22:20.420
 And for many of you

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:21.180
 who are in university

00:22:21.180 --> 00:22:22.480
 or in the civil service,

00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.460
 it's really, you know,

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:24.000
 one of the things

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:26.160
 which causes us great problems

00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:27.420
 is that the gospel

00:22:27.420 --> 00:22:29.279
 isn't compatible

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:30.559
 with the modern,

00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:31.820
 the postmodern mind.

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.100
 So it regularly,

00:22:33.360 --> 00:22:34.340
 before we realize it,

00:22:34.340 --> 00:22:34.840
 we don't want to say,

00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:35.259
 well, actually,

00:22:35.340 --> 00:22:36.660
 I think this particular way

00:22:36.660 --> 00:22:37.620
 on this ethical issue.

00:22:37.619 --> 00:22:38.919
 Or, no, actually,

00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:39.919
 I believe God

00:22:39.919 --> 00:22:41.039
 is the creator of all things

00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:42.379
 and we don't want to say that

00:22:42.379 --> 00:22:44.799
 and so we're ashamed of it

00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:46.539
 and we don't want to suffer for it.

00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:48.099
 And before you know it,

00:22:48.419 --> 00:22:49.239
 you lose it.

00:22:50.659 --> 00:22:51.759
 So it's a really important

00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:52.819
 little aside here

00:22:52.819 --> 00:22:54.599
 and it's very, very interesting

00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:55.839
 because Paul

00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:57.500
 is walking the talk.

00:23:00.399 --> 00:23:00.899
 And in fact,

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:01.559
 actually, remember,

00:23:01.659 --> 00:23:02.619
 the jailers are liable

00:23:02.619 --> 00:23:03.859
 to look at Anisiphorus.

00:23:03.859 --> 00:23:04.679
 Let me look at

00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:05.500
 what Paul's written.

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:06.940
 Whoa, one moment.

00:23:07.060 --> 00:23:08.759
 He's talking as if Jesus is alive.

00:23:08.900 --> 00:23:09.759
 And one moment.

00:23:09.940 --> 00:23:10.860
 Do not be ashamed

00:23:10.860 --> 00:23:11.500
 of the testimony

00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:12.200
 about our Lord.

00:23:12.299 --> 00:23:13.920
 That is not exactly

00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.700
 a get-out-of-jail-free card

00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:18.019
 being used.

00:23:18.600 --> 00:23:19.380
 This is

00:23:19.380 --> 00:23:21.779
 bring on

00:23:21.779 --> 00:23:22.480
 the guy

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:23.759
 with the big sword

00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:25.100
 card.

00:23:27.180 --> 00:23:28.080
 I'll read it again

00:23:28.080 --> 00:23:28.779
 and then we'll keep going.

00:23:28.779 --> 00:23:29.279
 Therefore,

00:23:29.399 --> 00:23:30.119
 do not be ashamed

00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:30.779
 of the testimony

00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:31.519
 about our Lord

00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:32.000
 nor of me,

00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:32.619
 his prisoner,

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.559
 but share in suffering

00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:35.299
 for the gospel

00:23:35.299 --> 00:23:36.500
 by the power of God

00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:38.200
 who saved us

00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:39.559
 and called us

00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:40.759
 to a holy calling

00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:42.859
 not because of our works

00:23:42.859 --> 00:23:43.619
 but because of

00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:45.000
 his own purpose

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:45.619
 and grace

00:23:45.619 --> 00:23:47.319
 which he gave us

00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:48.539
 in Christ Jesus

00:23:48.539 --> 00:23:49.960
 before the ages began.

00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:51.460
 And now listen to this.

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:52.599
 And which now

00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:53.759
 has been manifested

00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:54.740
 through the appearing

00:23:54.740 --> 00:23:56.359
 of our Savior Christ Jesus

00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:58.139
 who abolished death

00:23:58.139 --> 00:23:59.319
 and brought life

00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:00.599
 and immortality

00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:01.159
 to light

00:24:01.159 --> 00:24:02.299
 through the gospel

00:24:02.299 --> 00:24:03.899
 for which I was appointed

00:24:03.899 --> 00:24:04.579
 a preacher

00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:05.599
 and apostle

00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:06.399
 and a teacher

00:24:06.399 --> 00:24:07.639
 which is why

00:24:07.639 --> 00:24:09.259
 I suffer as I do

00:24:09.259 --> 00:24:11.199
 but I am not ashamed

00:24:11.199 --> 00:24:12.539
 for I know

00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:13.779
 whom I have believed

00:24:13.779 --> 00:24:15.259
 and I am convinced

00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:17.099
 that he is able

00:24:17.099 --> 00:24:18.000
 he's present

00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.240
 he's doing it right now

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:20.939
 he is able to guard

00:24:20.939 --> 00:24:22.139
 until that day

00:24:22.139 --> 00:24:23.459
 what has been entrusted

00:24:23.459 --> 00:24:23.959
 to me.

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:26.079
 And then he says

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:26.740
 to Timothy

00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:28.579
 follow

00:24:28.579 --> 00:24:30.019
 the pattern

00:24:30.019 --> 00:24:31.579
 of the sound words

00:24:31.579 --> 00:24:32.639
 the healthy words

00:24:32.639 --> 00:24:33.500
 that you have heard

00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:33.879
 from me

00:24:33.879 --> 00:24:34.579
 in the faith

00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:35.119
 and love

00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:36.480
 that are in Christ Jesus

00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:37.559
 by the Holy Spirit

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:38.960
 who dwells within us

00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:40.839
 guard the good deposit

00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:42.399
 entrusted to you.

00:24:44.159 --> 00:24:44.919
 So if you could

00:24:44.919 --> 00:24:45.779
 bring up the first point

00:24:45.779 --> 00:24:46.500
 that would be great.

00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:49.720
 Paul died

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:51.460
 because he would not lie

00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:53.220
 and say that Jesus was dead.

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:57.079
 Paul died

00:24:57.079 --> 00:24:59.200
 because he would not lie

00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:01.220
 and say that Jesus was dead.

00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:03.059
 This isn't a full argument

00:25:03.059 --> 00:25:03.740
 for the truth

00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:04.460
 of the resurrection

00:25:04.460 --> 00:25:07.720
 but it's a really important

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:08.539
 piece of evidence

00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:09.720
 isn't it?

00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:11.720
 in fact

00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:12.279
 if you could put up

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:13.200
 the next point please

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:14.600
 just sort of

00:25:14.600 --> 00:25:15.319
 restating it

00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:17.640
 Paul died

00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:18.339
 because he had

00:25:18.339 --> 00:25:19.779
 first hand knowledge

00:25:19.779 --> 00:25:21.039
 and told people

00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:22.940
 that Jesus Messiah

00:25:22.940 --> 00:25:23.620
 had died

00:25:23.620 --> 00:25:24.500
 defeated death

00:25:24.500 --> 00:25:25.660
 and was now alive

00:25:25.660 --> 00:25:26.380
 forevermore.

00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:28.559
 Paul died

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:29.539
 because he had

00:25:29.539 --> 00:25:30.660
 first hand knowledge

00:25:30.660 --> 00:25:31.620
 and told people

00:25:31.620 --> 00:25:33.400
 that Jesus Messiah

00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:34.160
 had died

00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:35.019
 defeated death

00:25:35.019 --> 00:25:36.240
 and was now alive

00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:37.140
 forevermore.

00:25:37.140 --> 00:25:38.960
 that's what we

00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:39.740
 discover here.

00:25:41.340 --> 00:25:42.340
 You keep on reading

00:25:42.340 --> 00:25:43.040
 the rest of the letter

00:25:43.040 --> 00:25:44.340
 there's other instances

00:25:44.340 --> 00:25:45.220
 where he talks about

00:25:45.220 --> 00:25:46.120
 Jesus being alive

00:25:46.120 --> 00:25:47.060
 having defeated death

00:25:47.060 --> 00:25:49.640
 and that's why he died.

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:52.520
 If it's not true

00:25:52.520 --> 00:25:54.040
 it was a really

00:25:54.040 --> 00:25:55.240
 dumb way

00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:55.960
 to die.

00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:58.759
 If it is true

00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:00.800
 well maybe

00:26:00.800 --> 00:26:01.620
 some of you might say

00:26:01.620 --> 00:26:02.160
 it's still a bit of

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:03.080
 a dumb way to die

00:26:03.080 --> 00:26:04.500
 or a tragic way to die

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:05.360
 like why didn't Paul

00:26:05.360 --> 00:26:06.320
 just agree to it

00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:06.839
 and then get out

00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:08.439
 and do something else.

00:26:09.659 --> 00:26:10.480
 Like why didn't he

00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.879
 sort of just say

00:26:11.879 --> 00:26:13.079
 oh yeah yeah yeah

00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:13.460
 yeah yeah yeah

00:26:13.460 --> 00:26:13.919
 yeah yeah

00:26:13.919 --> 00:26:15.119
 you know I don't

00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:15.779
 you know internally

00:26:15.779 --> 00:26:16.500
 I don't believe it

00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:18.460
 but yeah Jesus is dead

00:26:18.460 --> 00:26:19.299
 I made it all up

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:20.720
 and then he goes out

00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:21.359
 and does something

00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:22.079
 well it would be

00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:23.079
 amongst other things

00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:23.939
 it would then be written

00:26:23.939 --> 00:26:24.980
 in the court records

00:26:24.980 --> 00:26:27.220
 and the people

00:26:27.220 --> 00:26:28.919
 who were killing Christians

00:26:28.919 --> 00:26:30.460
 would be able to tell

00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:30.980
 everybody that

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:31.799
 one of the people

00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:33.059
 that you claim

00:26:33.059 --> 00:26:33.939
 is a witness

00:26:33.940 --> 00:26:35.160
 to the fact

00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:36.320
 that Jesus is alive

00:26:36.320 --> 00:26:37.440
 that he's defeated death

00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:38.400
 and he's still alive

00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:39.680
 he's actually said

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:40.620
 on public record

00:26:40.620 --> 00:26:41.680
 that that's not true.

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:43.820
 You see Paul

00:26:43.820 --> 00:26:45.120
 because of this

00:26:45.120 --> 00:26:46.360
 profound truth

00:26:46.360 --> 00:26:48.720
 he had to maintain it

00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:50.120
 for our good

00:26:50.120 --> 00:26:51.799
 and it is really good

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.059
 for us

00:26:52.059 --> 00:26:53.160
 because every single

00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:53.840
 one of us

00:26:53.840 --> 00:26:54.840
 is going to have

00:26:54.840 --> 00:26:55.700
 to face death.

00:26:57.320 --> 00:26:58.160
 One of the things

00:26:58.160 --> 00:26:58.920
 I do sometimes

00:26:58.920 --> 00:26:59.400
 in the morning

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:00.340
 is I read some

00:27:00.340 --> 00:27:01.140
 of the obituaries

00:27:01.140 --> 00:27:01.740
 in the paper

00:27:01.740 --> 00:27:03.100
 and it's a very

00:27:03.100 --> 00:27:04.320
 very common thing

00:27:04.320 --> 00:27:05.240
 in the newspapers

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:06.500
 to see people

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:07.300
 talk about how

00:27:07.300 --> 00:27:08.240
 the deceased

00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:08.980
 they give a long

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:09.540
 long line

00:27:09.540 --> 00:27:10.320
 of all the wonderful

00:27:10.320 --> 00:27:10.940
 things about

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:11.860
 the person who's died

00:27:11.860 --> 00:27:12.440
 and you know

00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:13.180
 probably they were

00:27:13.180 --> 00:27:13.920
 wonderful things

00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:14.520
 about the person

00:27:14.520 --> 00:27:14.900
 who died

00:27:14.900 --> 00:27:16.160
 and then in it

00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:17.400
 they'll talk about

00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:18.100
 how this person

00:27:18.100 --> 00:27:19.000
 will live on

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:20.040
 in our memories

00:27:20.040 --> 00:27:20.640
 forever.

00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:22.460
 You will live on

00:27:22.460 --> 00:27:23.120
 in our memories

00:27:23.120 --> 00:27:23.480
 forever.

00:27:23.620 --> 00:27:24.120
 It's a very

00:27:24.120 --> 00:27:24.720
 very very

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:25.420
 just trust me

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:25.680
 you go

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:26.840
 you read the obituaries

00:27:26.840 --> 00:27:27.940
 you will see it

00:27:27.940 --> 00:27:28.560
 regularly

00:27:28.560 --> 00:27:29.640
 and it's a regular way

00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:30.320
 that people talk

00:27:30.320 --> 00:27:30.840
 about death.

00:27:31.140 --> 00:27:34.380
 Now I don't mean

00:27:34.380 --> 00:27:35.080
 to upset you

00:27:35.080 --> 00:27:36.020
 but I'm going

00:27:36.020 --> 00:27:36.540
 to challenge

00:27:36.540 --> 00:27:37.200
 that idea.

00:27:37.600 --> 00:27:38.120
 Just this

00:27:38.120 --> 00:27:38.640
 about a month

00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:39.140
 or so ago

00:27:39.140 --> 00:27:40.440
 I read a novel

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:41.980
 by Reed Farrell Coleman

00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:43.020
 he's won a variety

00:27:43.020 --> 00:27:43.480
 of awards

00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:44.180
 he's a writer

00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:45.860
 in Long Island

00:27:45.860 --> 00:27:47.980
 part of New York City

00:27:47.980 --> 00:27:48.680
 but Long Island

00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:49.880
 and he wrote

00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:50.420
 this novel

00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:51.300
 called Where It Hurts

00:27:51.300 --> 00:27:52.080
 which I was reading

00:27:52.080 --> 00:27:53.360
 and one of the main

00:27:53.360 --> 00:27:54.360
 aspects of the

00:27:54.360 --> 00:27:55.180
 entire novel

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:56.280
 is him dealing

00:27:56.280 --> 00:27:57.160
 with the sudden

00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:58.200
 death of his son

00:27:58.200 --> 00:27:59.120
 his son John

00:27:59.120 --> 00:28:00.380
 20 years old

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:01.380
 he's just playing

00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:02.500
 pick up basketball

00:28:02.500 --> 00:28:03.540
 outside

00:28:03.540 --> 00:28:05.240
 he makes a shot

00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:06.420
 scores the basket

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:07.380
 just walks away

00:28:07.380 --> 00:28:08.120
 and as he's walking

00:28:08.120 --> 00:28:09.180
 away he just crumbles

00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:10.140
 nobody touches him

00:28:10.140 --> 00:28:11.180
 he just crumbles

00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:12.740
 he had a brain aneurysm

00:28:12.740 --> 00:28:13.340
 I hope that's not

00:28:13.340 --> 00:28:14.500
 a spoiler alert for you

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:15.040
 but it's not a big

00:28:15.040 --> 00:28:15.760
 spoiler alert

00:28:15.760 --> 00:28:17.540
 he had a brain aneurysm

00:28:17.540 --> 00:28:18.820
 and he just dies

00:28:18.820 --> 00:28:21.040
 he doesn't die

00:28:21.040 --> 00:28:21.880
 in Afghanistan

00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:22.500
 he doesn't die

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:22.920
 in Iraq

00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:23.500
 he doesn't die

00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:24.480
 doing something bad

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:25.100
 he doesn't die

00:28:25.100 --> 00:28:26.140
 doing something courageous

00:28:26.140 --> 00:28:27.080
 he just dies

00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:28.419
 all

00:28:28.419 --> 00:28:29.259
 just a couple

00:28:29.259 --> 00:28:29.879
 of friends

00:28:29.879 --> 00:28:30.839
 in a school

00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:32.419
 in a park

00:28:32.419 --> 00:28:33.439
 open air

00:28:33.439 --> 00:28:34.559
 basketball court

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:35.359
 he just dies

00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:37.919
 and a major thing

00:28:37.919 --> 00:28:38.859
 of the entire novel

00:28:38.859 --> 00:28:41.659
 is the main character

00:28:41.659 --> 00:28:42.839
 wrestling with this

00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:45.079
 meaningless death

00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:45.679
 of his son

00:28:45.679 --> 00:28:48.139
 here's a very interesting

00:28:48.139 --> 00:28:48.899
 thing which is part

00:28:48.899 --> 00:28:49.339
 of the novel

00:28:49.339 --> 00:28:50.819
 he's at the

00:28:50.819 --> 00:28:51.919
 basketball court

00:28:51.919 --> 00:28:53.399
 and it's a fall day

00:28:53.399 --> 00:28:54.359
 and he's looking at it

00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:55.199
 and the wind

00:28:55.199 --> 00:28:56.759
 is blowing the leaves

00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:57.139
 around

00:28:57.139 --> 00:28:57.759
 and he's looking

00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:58.659
 at the basketball court

00:28:58.659 --> 00:28:59.459
 and he says this

00:28:59.459 --> 00:29:01.379
 but this wasn't

00:29:01.379 --> 00:29:02.079
 his grave

00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:03.419
 this wasn't

00:29:03.419 --> 00:29:04.099
 the church

00:29:04.099 --> 00:29:05.419
 this wasn't

00:29:05.419 --> 00:29:06.339
 the funeral home

00:29:06.339 --> 00:29:07.159
 or the hospital

00:29:07.159 --> 00:29:08.719
 those were all

00:29:08.719 --> 00:29:09.459
 places where

00:29:09.459 --> 00:29:10.139
 his body

00:29:10.139 --> 00:29:10.740
 had been

00:29:10.740 --> 00:29:11.899
 places where

00:29:11.899 --> 00:29:12.559
 all that was

00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:13.579
 left of John

00:29:13.579 --> 00:29:14.500
 was bone

00:29:14.500 --> 00:29:15.159
 and flesh

00:29:15.159 --> 00:29:15.899
 in the shape

00:29:15.899 --> 00:29:16.619
 of my son

00:29:16.619 --> 00:29:17.259
 but wasn't

00:29:17.259 --> 00:29:17.879
 my son

00:29:17.879 --> 00:29:19.559
 by the time

00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:20.459
 he got to the

00:29:20.459 --> 00:29:20.939
 hospital

00:29:20.939 --> 00:29:22.099
 he was somewhere

00:29:22.099 --> 00:29:22.559
 else

00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:23.679
 somewhere in the

00:29:23.679 --> 00:29:24.000
 wind

00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:25.200
 his memories

00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:25.799
 his sense

00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:26.319
 of humor

00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:27.039
 his love

00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:27.559
 and anger

00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:28.660
 his smarts

00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:29.980
 and his mess-ups

00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:30.680
 gone

00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:32.319
 just like that

00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:32.960
 gone

00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:34.640
 what was left

00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:35.019
 of him

00:29:35.019 --> 00:29:35.680
 lived now

00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:36.759
 only as pieces

00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:37.599
 of the people

00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:38.440
 who had known him

00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:39.940
 and when we were

00:29:39.940 --> 00:29:40.359
 dead

00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:41.660
 and in the wind

00:29:41.660 --> 00:29:43.039
 he would be

00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:43.519
 forgotten

00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:45.440
 that was still

00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:46.539
 the hardest part

00:29:46.539 --> 00:29:47.299
 to take

00:29:47.299 --> 00:29:48.619
 that he would

00:29:48.619 --> 00:29:49.559
 be forgotten

00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:50.579
 so soon

00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:52.119
 don't tell me

00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:52.960
 about photos

00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:53.680
 and videos

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:54.299
 about how

00:29:54.299 --> 00:29:54.720
 we live

00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:55.360
 on in those

00:29:55.360 --> 00:29:55.680
 things

00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:56.840
 it's a lie

00:29:56.840 --> 00:29:58.820
 go get out

00:29:58.820 --> 00:29:59.380
 your parents

00:29:59.380 --> 00:30:00.220
 photo albums

00:30:00.220 --> 00:30:00.900
 one with their

00:30:00.900 --> 00:30:01.480
 parents and

00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:01.880
 grandparents

00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:02.360
 in it

00:30:02.360 --> 00:30:02.700
 look

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:03.700
 really look

00:30:03.700 --> 00:30:04.259
 carefully

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:04.860
 at all the

00:30:04.860 --> 00:30:05.560
 faces of the

00:30:05.560 --> 00:30:05.840
 dead

00:30:05.840 --> 00:30:07.080
 sure you may

00:30:07.080 --> 00:30:07.840
 recognize your

00:30:07.840 --> 00:30:08.560
 great grandparents

00:30:08.560 --> 00:30:09.500
 but you might

00:30:09.500 --> 00:30:10.000
 not

00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:11.700
 but even if you

00:30:11.700 --> 00:30:11.880
 do

00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:12.420
 what of their

00:30:12.420 --> 00:30:12.880
 relatives

00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:13.519
 what of their

00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:13.920
 friends

00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:14.460
 what of the

00:30:14.460 --> 00:30:14.940
 faces

00:30:14.940 --> 00:30:16.279
 unrecognized

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:17.840
 this is

00:30:17.840 --> 00:30:18.820
 our future

00:30:18.819 --> 00:30:20.399
 our shared

00:30:20.399 --> 00:30:21.139
 destiny

00:30:21.139 --> 00:30:22.839
 all born

00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:23.659
 to be

00:30:23.659 --> 00:30:24.399
 forgotten

00:30:24.399 --> 00:30:35.240
 Paul

00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:38.759
 is a witness

00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:40.139
 not to how

00:30:40.139 --> 00:30:40.839
 butterflies

00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:41.939
 come

00:30:41.939 --> 00:30:43.899
 out of a

00:30:43.899 --> 00:30:44.460
 cocoon

00:30:44.460 --> 00:30:45.819
 and not

00:30:45.819 --> 00:30:46.220
 to how

00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:46.740
 spring

00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:47.600
 follows the

00:30:47.600 --> 00:30:47.940
 winter

00:30:47.940 --> 00:30:49.819
 and not

00:30:49.819 --> 00:30:50.299
 to how

00:30:50.299 --> 00:30:50.799
 you plant

00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:51.220
 a seed

00:30:51.220 --> 00:30:51.660
 into the

00:30:51.660 --> 00:30:52.100
 ground

00:30:52.100 --> 00:30:53.140
 and then

00:30:53.140 --> 00:30:53.980
 the seed

00:30:53.980 --> 00:30:54.640
 comes to

00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:54.940
 life

00:30:54.940 --> 00:30:56.900
 but he

00:30:56.900 --> 00:30:57.920
 is

00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:59.259
 going to

00:30:59.259 --> 00:30:59.720
 die

00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:01.340
 by the

00:31:01.340 --> 00:31:01.799
 hands

00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:02.360
 of Nero

00:31:02.360 --> 00:31:03.539
 because he

00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:03.980
 is going

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:04.600
 to claim

00:31:04.600 --> 00:31:05.200
 that there

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:06.039
 was a man

00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:07.039
 who defeated

00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:07.519
 death

00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:08.579
 who was still

00:31:08.579 --> 00:31:09.100
 alive

00:31:09.099 --> 00:31:10.119
 who would

00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:10.599
 share

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:11.319
 that

00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:12.439
 defeat

00:31:12.439 --> 00:31:13.000
 with

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:13.599
 ordinary

00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:14.179
 human

00:31:14.179 --> 00:31:14.699
 beings

00:31:14.699 --> 00:31:15.259
 like

00:31:15.259 --> 00:31:15.459
 you

00:31:15.459 --> 00:31:15.599
 and

00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:15.799
 me

00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:20.099
 listen

00:31:20.099 --> 00:31:20.559
 again

00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:21.279
 to what

00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:21.740
 he says

00:31:21.740 --> 00:31:22.139
 in verses

00:31:22.139 --> 00:31:22.980
 8-12

00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:24.819
 therefore

00:31:24.819 --> 00:31:25.279
 do not

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:25.879
 be ashamed

00:31:25.879 --> 00:31:26.199
 of the

00:31:26.199 --> 00:31:26.639
 testimony

00:31:26.639 --> 00:31:27.240
 about our

00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:27.619
 Lord

00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:28.139
 nor of

00:31:28.139 --> 00:31:28.279
 me

00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:28.500
 his

00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:28.939
 prisoner

00:31:28.939 --> 00:31:30.119
 but share

00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:30.759
 in suffering

00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:31.119
 for the

00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:31.500
 gospel

00:31:31.500 --> 00:31:31.899
 by the

00:31:31.899 --> 00:31:32.219
 power

00:31:32.219 --> 00:31:32.759
 of God

00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:33.799
 who saved

00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:34.019
 us

00:31:34.019 --> 00:31:34.480
 and called

00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:34.639
 us

00:31:34.639 --> 00:31:34.939
 to a

00:31:34.939 --> 00:31:35.199
 holy

00:31:35.199 --> 00:31:35.679
 calling

00:31:35.679 --> 00:31:36.559
 not

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:36.919
 because

00:31:36.919 --> 00:31:37.259
 of our

00:31:37.259 --> 00:31:37.679
 works

00:31:37.679 --> 00:31:38.219
 but because

00:31:38.219 --> 00:31:38.759
 of his

00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:39.059
 own

00:31:39.059 --> 00:31:39.519
 purpose

00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:40.240
 and grace

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:41.059
 which he

00:31:41.059 --> 00:31:41.819
 gave us

00:31:41.819 --> 00:31:42.559
 in Christ

00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:42.940
 Jesus

00:31:42.940 --> 00:31:43.579
 before the

00:31:43.579 --> 00:31:43.900
 ages

00:31:43.900 --> 00:31:44.359
 began

00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:45.259
 and which

00:31:45.259 --> 00:31:45.859
 now has

00:31:45.859 --> 00:31:46.619
 been manifested

00:31:46.619 --> 00:31:47.079
 through the

00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:47.839
 appearing of

00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:48.299
 our Savior

00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:48.740
 Christ

00:31:48.740 --> 00:31:49.119
 Jesus

00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:50.259
 who abolished

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:50.680
 death

00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:51.460
 and brought

00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:52.160
 life and

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:52.920
 immortality

00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:53.359
 to light

00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:53.720
 through the

00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:54.140
 gospel

00:31:54.140 --> 00:31:55.039
 for which

00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:55.319
 I was

00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:55.700
 appointed

00:31:55.700 --> 00:31:56.299
 a preacher

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:57.140
 and apostle

00:31:57.140 --> 00:31:57.819
 and teacher

00:31:57.819 --> 00:31:58.819
 which is why

00:31:58.819 --> 00:31:59.379
 I suffer

00:31:59.379 --> 00:31:59.940
 as I do

00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:01.119
 but I am

00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:01.720
 not ashamed

00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:02.859
 for I know

00:32:02.859 --> 00:32:03.420
 whom I have

00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:03.799
 believed

00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:04.839
 and I am

00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:05.500
 convinced

00:32:05.500 --> 00:32:06.299
 that he

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:06.920
 is able

00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:07.819
 to guard

00:32:07.819 --> 00:32:08.599
 until that

00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:08.899
 day

00:32:08.899 --> 00:32:09.599
 what has

00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:09.759
 been

00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:10.259
 entrusted

00:32:10.259 --> 00:32:11.119
 to me

00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:14.219
 now here's

00:32:14.219 --> 00:32:14.579
 the first

00:32:14.579 --> 00:32:14.759
 thing

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:15.159
 just to try

00:32:15.159 --> 00:32:15.699
 to unpack

00:32:15.699 --> 00:32:16.099
 that a little

00:32:16.099 --> 00:32:16.240
 bit

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:16.719
 just to help

00:32:16.719 --> 00:32:17.419
 us very briefly

00:32:17.419 --> 00:32:18.259
 towards the end

00:32:18.259 --> 00:32:18.719
 if you could

00:32:18.719 --> 00:32:19.159
 put up the next

00:32:19.159 --> 00:32:19.799
 point Andrew

00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:21.259
 one of the

00:32:21.259 --> 00:32:21.740
 things that the

00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:22.359
 Bible does

00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:22.939
 which is very

00:32:22.939 --> 00:32:23.859
 counterintuitive

00:32:23.859 --> 00:32:24.759
 to our culture

00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:27.139
 is in our

00:32:27.139 --> 00:32:27.639
 culture

00:32:27.639 --> 00:32:28.419
 when we think

00:32:28.419 --> 00:32:28.799
 of death

00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:29.419
 we think of it

00:32:29.419 --> 00:32:30.240
 as a biological

00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:31.339
 problem to be

00:32:31.339 --> 00:32:31.759
 solved

00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:34.680
 it's a biological

00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:35.900
 problem to be

00:32:35.900 --> 00:32:36.319
 solved

00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:38.019
 the Bible

00:32:38.019 --> 00:32:39.379
 like great

00:32:39.379 --> 00:32:40.279
 scientists

00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:41.640
 and great

00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:42.960
 sociologists

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:44.099
 and economists

00:32:44.099 --> 00:32:44.799
 and great

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:45.440
 philosophers

00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:47.319
 who look at

00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:47.960
 things which

00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:48.519
 seem to be

00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:49.160
 quite different

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:49.720
 and see how

00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:50.460
 they're connected

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:51.319
 and therefore

00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:52.279
 come to a deeper

00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:52.980
 understanding of

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:53.400
 what's really

00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:54.140
 going on

00:32:54.140 --> 00:32:55.160
 Newton

00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:57.700
 began to

00:32:57.700 --> 00:32:58.059
 suspect

00:32:58.059 --> 00:32:58.879
 that what

00:32:58.879 --> 00:32:59.640
 governs an

00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:00.379
 apple falling

00:33:00.380 --> 00:33:01.180
 from a tree

00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:02.300
 might be the

00:33:02.300 --> 00:33:02.960
 very same

00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:03.440
 thing that

00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:04.100
 governs the

00:33:04.100 --> 00:33:04.640
 movements of

00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:05.320
 the planets

00:33:05.320 --> 00:33:06.800
 what a jump

00:33:06.800 --> 00:33:07.180
 eh

00:33:07.180 --> 00:33:10.120
 like now

00:33:10.120 --> 00:33:11.220
 it's still a bit

00:33:11.220 --> 00:33:11.980
 counterintuitive

00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:12.620
 to us who

00:33:12.620 --> 00:33:13.020
 aren't really

00:33:13.020 --> 00:33:14.100
 scientist types

00:33:14.100 --> 00:33:15.440
 that dropping

00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:16.160
 something from

00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:16.760
 my hand to

00:33:16.760 --> 00:33:17.140
 the ground

00:33:17.140 --> 00:33:17.840
 can help to

00:33:17.840 --> 00:33:18.540
 determine the

00:33:18.540 --> 00:33:19.140
 movement of

00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:19.740
 the stars

00:33:19.740 --> 00:33:20.460
 in the sky

00:33:20.460 --> 00:33:21.940
 but Newton

00:33:21.940 --> 00:33:22.420
 made that

00:33:22.420 --> 00:33:22.960
 connection

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:24.820
 and it's not

00:33:24.820 --> 00:33:25.360
 here in this

00:33:25.360 --> 00:33:26.040
 text but it's

00:33:26.040 --> 00:33:26.380
 part of the

00:33:26.380 --> 00:33:26.620
 Bible

00:33:26.620 --> 00:33:27.240
 what the Bible

00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:28.020
 does is the

00:33:28.020 --> 00:33:29.320
 Bible links

00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:30.839
 human death

00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:32.099
 to human

00:33:32.099 --> 00:33:32.639
 rebellion

00:33:32.639 --> 00:33:33.339
 against the

00:33:33.339 --> 00:33:33.859
 living God

00:33:33.859 --> 00:33:34.359
 who created

00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:34.779
 us

00:33:34.779 --> 00:33:36.879
 the Bible

00:33:36.879 --> 00:33:37.759
 links human

00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:38.379
 death to

00:33:38.379 --> 00:33:39.179
 human rebellion

00:33:39.179 --> 00:33:39.819
 against the

00:33:39.819 --> 00:33:40.539
 living God

00:33:40.539 --> 00:33:41.359
 who created

00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:41.759
 us

00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:43.339
 and that means

00:33:43.339 --> 00:33:43.819
 that if you're

00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:44.639
 going to try to

00:33:44.639 --> 00:33:45.439
 solve one

00:33:45.439 --> 00:33:45.980
 you have to

00:33:45.980 --> 00:33:46.439
 solve the

00:33:46.439 --> 00:33:46.720
 other

00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:47.980
 you know just a

00:33:47.980 --> 00:33:48.259
 bit of an

00:33:48.259 --> 00:33:48.740
 aside one of

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:49.200
 the things about

00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:49.759
 our culture

00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:50.859
 it's very very

00:33:50.859 --> 00:33:51.659
 interesting in our

00:33:51.659 --> 00:33:52.819
 culture on one

00:33:52.819 --> 00:33:53.220
 hand you could

00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:53.740
 have the same

00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:54.439
 newspaper I

00:33:54.439 --> 00:33:55.059
 don't think I

00:33:55.059 --> 00:33:55.339
 don't know if

00:33:55.339 --> 00:33:55.859
 I've ever actually

00:33:55.859 --> 00:33:56.740
 literally seen it

00:33:56.740 --> 00:33:57.159
 but you could

00:33:57.159 --> 00:33:57.859
 easily see it

00:33:57.859 --> 00:33:58.859
 happening because

00:33:58.859 --> 00:33:59.740
 occasionally there's

00:33:59.740 --> 00:34:00.559
 different reports

00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:01.159
 about different

00:34:01.159 --> 00:34:01.959
 scientists or

00:34:01.959 --> 00:34:02.859
 technologists trying

00:34:02.859 --> 00:34:03.599
 to come up with a

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:04.219
 way of defeating

00:34:04.219 --> 00:34:05.799
 death you know

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:06.339
 whether it's a

00:34:06.339 --> 00:34:07.399
 matter of freezing

00:34:07.399 --> 00:34:08.319
 us or putting us

00:34:08.319 --> 00:34:08.859
 in a state of

00:34:08.859 --> 00:34:09.819
 suspended animation

00:34:09.819 --> 00:34:12.139
 until the cure for

00:34:12.139 --> 00:34:12.980
 the illness that we

00:34:12.980 --> 00:34:14.279
 have comes available

00:34:14.279 --> 00:34:14.920
 and then they would

00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:16.420
 resuscitate you and

00:34:16.420 --> 00:34:17.500
 then the scientists

00:34:17.500 --> 00:34:18.119
 would be able to

00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:19.659
 cure you or maybe

00:34:19.659 --> 00:34:20.019
 they're going to

00:34:20.019 --> 00:34:20.719
 look at ways of

00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:21.139
 taking our

00:34:21.139 --> 00:34:21.980
 consciousness and

00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:22.440
 putting it in a

00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:23.319
 different body or

00:34:23.319 --> 00:34:24.079
 you know maybe

00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:24.599
 they'll be able to

00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:26.299
 design a baby in a

00:34:26.300 --> 00:34:27.660
 test tube that won't

00:34:27.660 --> 00:34:28.680
 be susceptible to

00:34:28.680 --> 00:34:29.820
 breakdown as our

00:34:29.820 --> 00:34:30.519
 bodies are broken

00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:31.640
 down but in the

00:34:31.640 --> 00:34:32.260
 same time that you

00:34:32.260 --> 00:34:33.000
 have in the science

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:34.220
 pages things that

00:34:34.220 --> 00:34:35.720
 praise this movies

00:34:35.720 --> 00:34:37.780
 always portray any

00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:38.980
 solution like this in

00:34:38.980 --> 00:34:39.960
 the future as being

00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:41.260
 something connected to

00:34:41.260 --> 00:34:44.760
 evil without exception

00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:47.500
 that if there is a

00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:48.240
 day in the future

00:34:48.240 --> 00:34:49.519
 where some babies can

00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:51.000
 be made in a test

00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:52.240
 tube that won't die

00:34:52.240 --> 00:34:53.900
 that's bad news for

00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:55.519
 everybody else if

00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:56.460
 there is a way to

00:34:56.460 --> 00:34:57.940
 take our consciousness

00:34:57.940 --> 00:34:58.759
 and put it into

00:34:58.759 --> 00:34:59.920
 another body that's

00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:01.239
 bad news for somebody

00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:02.380
 else it's there's

00:35:02.380 --> 00:35:03.420
 always something evil

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:04.980
 about it at the same

00:35:04.980 --> 00:35:05.900
 time that our culture

00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:07.239
 only understands death

00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:08.139
 as being connected to

00:35:08.139 --> 00:35:09.360
 biology we understand

00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:10.320
 that somehow we should

00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:11.340
 try to defeat death

00:35:11.340 --> 00:35:12.860
 but the other hand part

00:35:12.860 --> 00:35:13.840
 of us understands that

00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:15.059
 human attempts to

00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:16.019
 defeat death by

00:35:16.019 --> 00:35:17.239
 biology will probably

00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:19.239
 involve great evil it

00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:20.179
 will not be a picture

00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:21.780
 of utopia but

00:35:21.780 --> 00:35:25.039
 dystopia and in the

00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:26.119
 midst of our cultural

00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:27.460
 longings and confusion

00:35:27.460 --> 00:35:28.460
 the bible does

00:35:28.460 --> 00:35:29.400
 something our culture

00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:31.279
 never suspects which

00:35:31.279 --> 00:35:32.259
 is to link human

00:35:32.259 --> 00:35:34.099
 rebellion to death

00:35:34.099 --> 00:35:36.259
 human rebellion against

00:35:36.259 --> 00:35:37.840
 the living god to

00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:39.579
 death if you could put

00:35:39.579 --> 00:35:40.539
 up the next slide

00:35:40.539 --> 00:35:42.880
 please one of the

00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:43.619
 things to ask any

00:35:43.619 --> 00:35:46.420
 philosophy of life any

00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:48.820
 new age philosophy any

00:35:48.820 --> 00:35:51.460
 religion any academic

00:35:51.460 --> 00:35:53.500
 philosophy is how does

00:35:53.500 --> 00:35:55.159
 it handle death how

00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:56.119
 does it account for

00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:57.460
 death how does it

00:35:57.460 --> 00:35:58.519
 handle the meaning of

00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:00.500
 death and how does

00:36:00.500 --> 00:36:01.440
 the christian account

00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:02.559
 match up to it and I

00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:03.519
 want to challenge you

00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:04.360
 that if you look at the

00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:06.159
 christian account with

00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:09.099
 its rivals it's wise

00:36:09.099 --> 00:36:11.619
 obviously there can be

00:36:11.619 --> 00:36:12.619
 arguments and quibbles

00:36:12.619 --> 00:36:14.820
 but it's wise and what

00:36:14.820 --> 00:36:15.980
 we see here in this text

00:36:15.980 --> 00:36:17.619
 is that jesus messiah's

00:36:17.619 --> 00:36:18.659
 saving death and

00:36:18.659 --> 00:36:20.339
 resurrection had its

00:36:20.339 --> 00:36:22.759
 origins in eternity but

00:36:22.759 --> 00:36:24.659
 took place in history

00:36:24.659 --> 00:36:27.279
 that jesus messiah's

00:36:27.279 --> 00:36:28.659
 saving death and

00:36:28.659 --> 00:36:29.599
 resurrection had its

00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:30.960
 origins in eternity but

00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:32.399
 take place in history

00:36:32.399 --> 00:36:35.019
 look at verses 9 and 10

00:36:35.019 --> 00:36:38.059
 who saved us and called

00:36:38.059 --> 00:36:39.379
 us to a holy calling not

00:36:39.379 --> 00:36:40.500
 because of our works but

00:36:40.500 --> 00:36:41.299
 because of his own

00:36:41.299 --> 00:36:42.359
 purpose and grace which

00:36:42.359 --> 00:36:43.319
 he gave us in christ

00:36:43.319 --> 00:36:45.940
 jesus before the ages

00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:47.500
 began outside of time

00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:49.280
 eternity in which now

00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:50.360
 has been manifested

00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:51.599
 through the appearing of

00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:53.179
 our savior christ jesus

00:36:53.179 --> 00:36:55.240
 who abolished death and

00:36:55.240 --> 00:36:55.920
 brought life and

00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:57.800
 immortality to light

00:36:57.800 --> 00:36:59.240
 through the gospel for

00:36:59.240 --> 00:37:00.679
 which i was appointed a

00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:01.639
 preacher and teacher and

00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.000
 apostle appointed if you

00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:05.000
 know the whole story of

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:05.659
 paul how was he

00:37:05.659 --> 00:37:07.079
 appointed he wasn't

00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:08.079
 appointed by a committee

00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:09.940
 he wasn't appointed by a

00:37:10.740 --> 00:37:11.559
 group of people who

00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:13.079
 wanted to say yay paul yay

00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:14.400
 paul yay paul no in fact

00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:15.119
 the matter is is that

00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:15.920
 when paul first became

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:17.320
 a christian everybody

00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:19.260
 was terrified of him

00:37:19.260 --> 00:37:21.579
 the last guy on the

00:37:21.579 --> 00:37:22.940
 planet that any human

00:37:22.940 --> 00:37:24.139
 being would appoint who

00:37:24.139 --> 00:37:25.519
 appointed him he got

00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:26.619
 appointed when jesus

00:37:26.619 --> 00:37:28.059
 appeared to him after

00:37:28.059 --> 00:37:29.440
 death after he'd risen

00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:32.420
 that's how paul knew he'd

00:37:32.420 --> 00:37:33.880
 been appointed how paul

00:37:33.880 --> 00:37:35.519
 knew that jesus was alive

00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:40.400
 he'd seen him and so only

00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:41.840
 god is going to be able to

00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:43.079
 fix the problem of human

00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:44.779
 rebellion and only god is

00:37:44.779 --> 00:37:45.539
 going to be able to fix

00:37:45.539 --> 00:37:47.199
 the problem of death and

00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:49.579
 so we see here that jesus

00:37:49.579 --> 00:37:51.099
 messiah saving death and

00:37:51.099 --> 00:37:52.079
 resurrection had its

00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:53.400
 origins in eternity its

00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:55.179
 origins in god but took

00:37:55.179 --> 00:37:56.719
 place in history it's real

00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:57.779
 it's concrete it's not a

00:37:57.779 --> 00:37:58.860
 story it's not a metaphor

00:37:58.860 --> 00:38:00.980
 it's not a symbol paul would

00:38:00.980 --> 00:38:02.819
 have gotten out of jail if

00:38:02.819 --> 00:38:04.279
 he had said it's just a

00:38:04.279 --> 00:38:06.199
 metaphor it's just a symbol

00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:10.919
 it's concrete and it's real

00:38:10.919 --> 00:38:12.519
 and if you could put the

00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:14.439
 next point andrew please

00:38:14.439 --> 00:38:16.939
 jesus messiah's death upon

00:38:16.939 --> 00:38:19.119
 the cross was a just and

00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:21.799
 merciful dealing with human

00:38:21.799 --> 00:38:23.919
 rebellion and his resurrection

00:38:23.919 --> 00:38:26.179
 from the dead vindicated him

00:38:26.179 --> 00:38:28.399
 as the power of god for

00:38:28.399 --> 00:38:30.960
 eternal salvation for all who

00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:34.159
 believe in him see the bible

00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:35.719
 links human rebellion against

00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.199
 death god as connected to

00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:40.619
 death you solve one you have

00:38:40.619 --> 00:38:42.679
 to solve the other in fact

00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:43.779
 there's a very very curious

00:38:43.779 --> 00:38:44.399
 bit in the book of

00:38:44.399 --> 00:38:45.779
 revelation that hints that a

00:38:45.779 --> 00:38:46.899
 time in the future might come

00:38:46.899 --> 00:38:48.799
 when human beings solve the

00:38:48.799 --> 00:38:50.619
 problem of death and the very

00:38:50.619 --> 00:38:51.739
 interesting thing is when it

00:38:51.739 --> 00:38:52.879
 hints at this the human

00:38:52.879 --> 00:38:54.920
 response is to ask for death

00:38:54.920 --> 00:39:03.079
 psychologically profoundly wise

00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:06.159
 psychologically profoundly wise

00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:09.099
 because if you solve the

00:39:09.099 --> 00:39:10.800
 biological problem but don't

00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:12.099
 solve the problem of rebellion

00:39:12.099 --> 00:39:13.900
 against god you will only have

00:39:13.900 --> 00:39:15.880
 evil you will have dystopia not

00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:18.900
 utopia and jesus in his death

00:39:18.900 --> 00:39:21.240
 upon the cross in history planned

00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:24.619
 by god voluntarily entered into

00:39:24.619 --> 00:39:26.539
 by him his death upon the cross

00:39:26.539 --> 00:39:28.219
 as our substitute as an act of

00:39:28.219 --> 00:39:30.279
 exchange and his might tasting all

00:39:30.279 --> 00:39:31.539
 there is to taste of death and his

00:39:31.539 --> 00:39:33.119
 mighty resurrection is god dealing

00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:36.239
 with both problems in a way that

00:39:36.779 --> 00:39:40.939
 means that we can share in jesus's

00:39:40.939 --> 00:39:43.259
 defeat of death and live with him

00:39:43.259 --> 00:39:45.579
 eternally in the new heaven and the

00:39:45.579 --> 00:39:46.019
 new earth

00:39:46.019 --> 00:39:51.539
 just a couple of things in closing

00:39:51.539 --> 00:39:53.619
 andrew if you could just a couple of

00:39:53.619 --> 00:39:54.559
 things for you to take away i'm

00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:55.840
 going to put them up fairly quickly

00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:57.380
 if you can't i don't know some

00:39:57.380 --> 00:39:58.780
 people write these down if you can't

00:39:58.780 --> 00:39:59.780
 write them down you can go on the

00:39:59.780 --> 00:40:01.139
 web page later and they'll all be on

00:40:01.139 --> 00:40:03.400
 the web page and really all four of

00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:05.679
 them are prayers i want to challenge

00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:07.199
 you if you're here as a guest or

00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:09.699
 maybe somebody dragged you here maybe

00:40:09.699 --> 00:40:11.659
 a grandmother grad dragged you here

00:40:11.659 --> 00:40:15.059

 to give your life to jesus to deal

00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:25.859
 with your death to deal with that

00:40:25.859 --> 00:40:28.519
 which causes your death and he turns

00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:29.239
 no one away

00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:33.799
 he turns no one away and there's no

00:40:33.799 --> 00:40:36.099
 magic words romans 10 just says you

00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:37.420
 believe in your heart that god raised

00:40:37.420 --> 00:40:38.739
 him from the dead and you confess with

00:40:38.739 --> 00:40:40.119
 your lips that jesus is lord and you

00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:42.159
 will be saved but i i've just put some

00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:43.880
 words up here to sort of summarize the

00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:45.299
 sermon that you might want to consider

00:40:45.299 --> 00:40:49.420
 praying to begin the great journey the

 great

00:40:49.980 --> 00:40:55.460
 opportunity to be with jesus to share in

00:40:55.460 --> 00:40:58.500
 his defeat of sin and death to pray

00:40:58.500 --> 00:41:00.980
 jesus messiah you died and tasted all of

00:41:00.980 --> 00:41:03.579
 death and you rose triumphant over sin

00:41:03.579 --> 00:41:06.739
 and death and hell please be my savior and

00:41:06.739 --> 00:41:09.739

00:41:09.739 --> 00:41:13.119
 of who i am i give to you thank you for

00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:14.919
 taking me as your own forever if you

00:41:14.919 --> 00:41:16.699

00:41:16.699 --> 00:41:19.419
 will answer it and the words of that

00:41:19.419 --> 00:41:21.079
 prayer will be true for you

00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:24.559
 put up the next one please just three

00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:26.319
 there are four little prayers for us to

00:41:26.319 --> 00:41:26.839
 take away

00:41:26.839 --> 00:41:29.119
 second one is for those of us who are

00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:31.639
 followers of jesus remember verse seven

00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:33.000
 um

00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:35.339
 actually we'll begin at verse six for this

00:41:35.339 --> 00:41:37.019
 reason i remind you to fan into flame

00:41:37.019 --> 00:41:38.579
 the gift of god which is in you through

00:41:38.579 --> 00:41:41.219
 the lane out of my hands for god gave us

00:41:41.219 --> 00:41:43.880
 a spirit the holy spirit not a fear but

00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:46.699
 of power and love and self-control i want

00:41:46.699 --> 00:41:48.679
 to challenge you some of us aren't even

00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:51.039
 aware of the ways that being a coward has

00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:53.940
 shaped and defined our lives and god does

00:41:53.940 --> 00:41:57.780
 not want you to live as a coward and the

00:41:57.780 --> 00:42:00.019
 gospel helps us to understand that as the

00:42:00.019 --> 00:42:02.460
 gospel grips us we realize that god didn't

00:42:02.460 --> 00:42:04.460
 choose us because we were choice he chose

00:42:04.460 --> 00:42:06.260
 us because he loves us he didn't choose

00:42:06.260 --> 00:42:09.619
 us because we had to be perfect he knows

00:42:09.619 --> 00:42:11.260
 everything there's no about us and still

00:42:11.260 --> 00:42:13.079
 he loved you so much he died for you on

00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:14.940
 the cross and as we are gripped by the

00:42:14.940 --> 00:42:17.240
 gospel the security that the gospel brings

00:42:17.240 --> 00:42:19.980
 to pray lord as i am gripped by the gospel

00:42:19.980 --> 00:42:23.820
 help me to know when i am being cowardly

00:42:23.820 --> 00:42:27.500
 and then please pour out your holy spirit

00:42:27.500 --> 00:42:30.019
 upon me to live with love and power and

00:42:30.019 --> 00:42:33.139
 self-control a prayer for the rest of your

00:42:33.139 --> 00:42:36.420
 life could put up the next one please

00:42:36.420 --> 00:42:40.219
 andrew this comes from verses 8 and verse

00:42:40.219 --> 00:42:42.039
 12 therefore do not be ashamed of the

00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:44.340
 testimony about our lord nor of me as

00:42:44.340 --> 00:42:46.239
 prisoner but share in suffering for the

00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:49.039
 gospel by the power of god and verse 12

00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:52.559
 which is why i suffer as i do but i am not

00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:54.500
 ashamed for i know whom i have believed

00:42:54.500 --> 00:42:56.780
 and i am convinced it is able to guard until

00:42:56.780 --> 00:42:59.560
 that day what has been entrusted to me i

00:42:59.560 --> 00:43:02.840
 challenge some of you that who in fact

00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:05.140
 aren't willing to suffer for the gospel

00:43:05.140 --> 00:43:07.420
 not willing to look like you're a hick

00:43:07.420 --> 00:43:10.640
 because you believe certain you see the

00:43:10.640 --> 00:43:13.820
 gospel is in the context of basic christian

00:43:13.820 --> 00:43:15.820
 doctrines and basic christian doctrines are

00:43:15.820 --> 00:43:19.420
 in the context of the gospel and as we are

00:43:19.420 --> 00:43:22.019
 ashamed of some of this because we don't

00:43:22.019 --> 00:43:24.980
 want to suffer our faith withers and maybe

00:43:24.980 --> 00:43:28.099
 even dies and so many of us need to pray

00:43:28.099 --> 00:43:31.280
 this prayer lord as i am gripped by the

00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:33.579
 gospel help me to be willing to suffer

00:43:33.579 --> 00:43:36.960
 for the gospel and help me to never be

00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:39.800
 ashamed of the gospel prayer for the rest

00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:42.940
 of your life and finally if andrew if you

00:43:42.940 --> 00:43:45.320
 could put up the final prayer and i didn't

00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:48.539
 talk about this much but verses 12 to 14

00:43:48.539 --> 00:43:51.900
 it's really precious verse which is why i

00:43:51.900 --> 00:43:54.039
 suffer as i do but i am not ashamed for i

00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:56.820
 know whom i have believed you know for

00:43:56.820 --> 00:43:58.559
 some of us who are from baptisty type

00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:00.400
 churches i keep wanting to go for i know

00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:05.039
 whom i have believed and am persuaded that

00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:10.079
 he is able to keep that we've now just

00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:12.920
 revealed ourselves as being old fogies you

00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:16.079
 just self-identified yourself that way you

00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:18.539
 um you can join with me in leaving like

00:44:18.539 --> 00:44:21.319
 this afterwards while all the young hip

00:44:21.319 --> 00:44:23.659
 people are take pity on us but i i just i'm

00:44:23.659 --> 00:44:25.239
 i'm i'm old enough i remember when that

00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:27.059
 was one of like that was a very common

00:44:27.059 --> 00:44:30.360
 popular say amen all you baptist presbyterian

00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:32.219
 anglican types you know amen right this

00:44:32.219 --> 00:44:36.039
 was a very common song anyway sorry where

00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:38.279
 was i back to this which is why i suffer

00:44:38.279 --> 00:44:40.059
 as i do but i am not ashamed for i know

00:44:40.059 --> 00:44:42.440
 whom i have believed it and i am convinced

00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:44.099
 that he is able to guard until that day

00:44:44.099 --> 00:44:45.819
 what has been entrusted to me who's

00:44:45.819 --> 00:44:50.219
 guarding it you know jesus is is is guard

00:44:50.219 --> 00:44:52.559
 he's entrusted me something but he's

00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.079
 guarding it then he says follow the

00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:56.599
 pattern of the sound words that you have

00:44:56.599 --> 00:44:58.179
 heard from me in the faith and love that

00:44:58.179 --> 00:45:00.339
 are in christ jesus by the holy spirit who

00:45:00.339 --> 00:45:02.659
 dwells within us guard the good deposit

00:45:02.659 --> 00:45:05.019
 guard the gospel guard the beautiful

00:45:05.019 --> 00:45:08.000
 deposit guard that great treasure of the

00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:10.360
 gospel message which is the power of god

00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:13.099
 for salvation which is not just good news

00:45:13.099 --> 00:45:14.940
 it's good news that has doctrinal

00:45:14.940 --> 00:45:17.039
 implications and it's good news that

00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:21.019
 shapes all doctrine and jesus has given

00:45:21.019 --> 00:45:23.559
 this to his people to guard and defend and

00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:26.599
 proclaim and the really good news is it

00:45:26.599 --> 00:45:29.599
 doesn't rest on you to succeed because

00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:31.980
 god guards it and entrusts it

00:45:31.980 --> 00:45:36.420
 that's really some of us we just need to

00:45:36.420 --> 00:45:38.319
 wake up in a day and say you know when we

00:45:38.319 --> 00:45:39.599
 realize that we're starting to walk like

00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:41.659
 this with a our head down and we just

00:45:41.659 --> 00:45:42.960
 have to look up and say one moment i'm

00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:44.659
 carried in the arms of jesus

00:45:44.659 --> 00:45:49.539
 doesn't rest on my shoulders not as a way

00:45:49.539 --> 00:45:51.519
 of avoiding responsibility but when you

00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:54.019
 realize that jesus is involved in it it

00:45:54.019 --> 00:45:57.679
 helps you take responsibility so many of

00:45:57.679 --> 00:45:59.579
 us need to pray this prayer lord as i'm

00:45:59.579 --> 00:46:01.519
 gripped by the gospel help me to take my

00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:04.339
 part in guarding the gospel thank you

00:46:04.339 --> 00:46:06.440
 that it is you and only you that guarantees

00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:09.159
 the transmission of the gospel

00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:15.659

00:46:15.659 --> 00:46:17.179
 for the rest of your life and if you could

00:46:17.179 --> 00:46:18.820
