00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.280
 Let's turn in your copy of God's Word with me to Hebrews chapter 10.

00:00:06.219 --> 00:00:09.519
 Those of you who have been with us for a while might be scratching your heads.

00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:11.880
 I did say Hebrews chapter 10.

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:19.920
 We're going to take a little break from Romans and spend the next couple of weeks, a few weeks, three to four, in the book of Hebrews

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:25.320
 to take a brief break and to talk about something that's kind of been pressing on our hearts.

00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:28.260
 But before we get started there, let's pray together.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.380
 Father God, thank you for the congregation.

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:35.480
 Thank you for those whom you've called your own.

00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:38.939
 And I thank you, Father, that you've called us together this morning to study your Word.

00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:46.420
 I pray, Father, you'll be generous to us in understanding, that you will fill in the gaps in my preparation,

00:00:47.179 --> 00:00:49.480
 those that I know about and those that I don't.

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:56.879
 I pray, Father, that I will speak accurately and truthfully for the edification of your church this morning.

00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.760
 And we pray this in the precious name of Christ who makes it possible for us to pray.

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:03.160
 Amen.

00:01:04.659 --> 00:01:10.879
 So as we have been praying through our preaching, something that we try to make a habit of doing,

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.280
 kind of sticking our finger in the air, seeing which way the wind is blowing,

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.420
 we felt that it was important for us to take a little break from Romans,

00:01:19.820 --> 00:01:21.640
 not that things are going poorly there,

00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:26.400
 but just to stop and talk a little bit about the vision of Christ's family church,

00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:28.540
 which is not an odd vision.

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:31.000
 It shouldn't be a foreign thing to any Christian.

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.040
 We place a statement that we call our vision statement on the screen.

00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:37.980
 If you've been here at all, and I hope paying attention,

00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:39.260
 you'll know that that statement says,

00:01:39.379 --> 00:01:45.780
 Christ's family church exists to experience, proclaim, and display the supremacy of Jesus Christ in all things.

00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.099
 What we want to talk about is how that actually fleshes out.

00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:52.039
 Because it's just a sentence, otherwise.

00:01:52.040 --> 00:02:01.100
 How is it that we experience, proclaim, and display the supremacy of Jesus Christ in all things together as a local church?

00:02:01.860 --> 00:02:04.000
 And so we have a little analogy we like to use,

00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.700
 and I keep saying we, I'm talking about the leadership of the church,

00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.719
 which you'll maybe key into because you've seen our logo.

00:02:10.980 --> 00:02:13.300
 It's a group of trees standing together,

00:02:13.420 --> 00:02:16.159
 and you may notice that they're not spindly pine trees,

00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.879
 but they're mighty oaks, I say, or some sort of hardwood, pick your favorite.

00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:27.299
 The large difference between these varieties of trees is that one's a softwood and another's a hardwood.

00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.539
 One puts down a different type of root.

00:02:31.379 --> 00:02:32.759
 Pine trees put down a taproot.

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:34.259
 If you ever see a field cleared,

00:02:34.780 --> 00:02:37.479
 the first type of tree to come back into that field is a pine tree.

00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:42.519
 And the pine tree knows that in order for it to compete with large hardwoods that cast lots of shade,

00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:43.799
 they have to grow quickly.

00:02:44.699 --> 00:02:47.079
 So they put down what's called a taproot, a long root,

00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.000
 and they send out little roots from that, and they grow.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.319
 But what happens around here when we have ice storms come?

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.539
 When those trees get a little heavier than they should be,

00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:58.099
 they're the first to go, right?

00:02:58.180 --> 00:03:00.219
 That's that snapping you here in the middle of the night,

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:02.979
 and you hope that one of them doesn't snap and fall on your house.

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.039
 Those are the pine trees,

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.099
 because all it takes is the weight to snap that one root,

00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:08.920
 and the whole thing comes down.

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.860
 It's not the kind of trees we want to be as Christians, right?

00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:19.740
 We want to put down deep, solid roots that reach out deep into the Word of God.

00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:24.440
 So that's one area, one thing we do together is we study together.

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.960
 We read God's Word and we understand it together.

00:03:29.780 --> 00:03:32.860
 We also want to put our branches high into the air.

00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.620
 We want to exalt God in all that we do,

00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:37.920
 in our singing of praises to His name,

00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:40.920
 in our prayers, in our proclamation of Him.

00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:42.479
 And so those are the branches.

00:03:44.179 --> 00:03:45.759
 And we also want to bear fruit,

00:03:46.059 --> 00:03:51.299
 the fruit of love, both to the church and to the world.

00:03:52.519 --> 00:03:56.519
 So you find in that this neat little four-week sermon series, right?

00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.639
 It's little fruits, branches, fruit to the church, fruit to the world.

00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.719
 It's a nice little package, and that's kind of the way we set out.

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:05.039
 Nathan, we're going to take a break from Romans,

00:04:05.099 --> 00:04:06.319
 and we want you to preach on these things.

00:04:06.359 --> 00:04:08.759
 This is what we're going to do together as a church.

00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.939
 God tends to thwart our plans, though, doesn't He?

00:04:13.679 --> 00:04:18.759
 As I began preparation to study this morning to talk about roots,

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:20.639
 kind of topically talk about that,

00:04:20.699 --> 00:04:22.560
 what it means for us to study the Word of God together,

00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:27.500
 I was led to Hebrews chapter 10 as a text to preach from.

00:04:28.060 --> 00:04:31.800
 And I discovered in this, all of these elements are contained.

00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:37.040
 So I'm not going to preach over the next few weeks in the neat little roots,

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.420
 branches, fruit to the church, fruit to the world, order.

00:04:39.540 --> 00:04:42.460
 However, we were going to get all that in there,

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.960
 which is why I'm giving you this lengthy preface.

00:04:45.900 --> 00:04:52.720
 So I'm just going to verse by verse preach through verse 19 through verse 25.

00:04:53.060 --> 00:04:54.019
 So let's read that together.

00:04:54.019 --> 00:04:59.099
 The writer of Hebrews writes,

00:04:59.099 --> 00:05:04.379
 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,

00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.120
 by the new and living way that He opened for us through the curtain,

00:05:08.359 --> 00:05:09.719
 that is, through His flesh,

00:05:10.299 --> 00:05:13.219
 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.959
 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,

00:05:17.479 --> 00:05:20.019
 with our hearts frinkled clean from an evil conscience

00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:22.060
 and our bodies washed with pure water.

00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:25.480
 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,

00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.699
 for He who promised is faithful.

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:31.879
 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.879
 not neglecting to meet together as is the habit of some,

00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:40.579
 but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

00:05:41.699 --> 00:05:45.899
 Now we're going to spend most of our time this week and next in verse 22.

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.019
 I have six points I want to pull out,

00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:52.279
 squeeze out of that one verse,

00:05:52.379 --> 00:05:53.000
 verse 22.

00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:57.899
 But I think I would be remiss if I didn't talk first about the first three verses,

00:05:58.579 --> 00:06:03.839
 which we're going to get into as we progress through this text in the coming weeks.

00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.399
 But I feel it's very important that we set the stage properly

00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.219
 as we begin to talk about what many have called,

00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.120
 and I've been reminded over and over again this week,

00:06:12.359 --> 00:06:13.479
 is the lettuce patch.

00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:15.939
 Let us, let us, let us.

00:06:15.939 --> 00:06:19.000
 So verse 19 through 21,

00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:24.139
 the writer of Hebrews has just finished talking about the old sacrificial system.

00:06:25.100 --> 00:06:25.319
 All right?

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.720
 For those of you who aren't totally versed in your Old Testament knowledge,

00:06:28.980 --> 00:06:31.439
 the Old Testament sacrificial system,

00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:32.220
 there was a temple,

00:06:32.540 --> 00:06:33.600
 and within that temple,

00:06:33.899 --> 00:06:36.180
 there was an inner sanctum called the Holy Place.

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.879
 And within that place was a place called the Holy of Holies.

00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:41.680
 And this is where the glory of God dwelt.

00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.779
 Physically, we could see it, the Shekinah glory,

00:06:43.779 --> 00:06:45.879
 where we could actually see the glory of God dwelling in this place.

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:46.799
 All right?

00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.079
 Unless I misspeak, we couldn't actually see it.

00:06:50.579 --> 00:06:52.299
 But one day a year,

00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.539
 one guy, the high priest, could see it.

00:06:56.339 --> 00:06:58.239
 It was a very special day,

00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.379
 the Day of Atonement.

00:07:00.339 --> 00:07:04.199
 And I won't get into all of the ritual that was taking place there,

00:07:04.259 --> 00:07:05.279
 because I don't have time.

00:07:05.819 --> 00:07:07.819
 But there was much preparation,

00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.259
 lots of things he had to do

00:07:10.259 --> 00:07:13.480
 to be able to enter into the presence of God.

00:07:13.819 --> 00:07:14.459
 In fact,

00:07:15.099 --> 00:07:16.879
 they sewed bells into his garments

00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.399
 and tied a rope around his ankle

00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.439
 in case they heard the bell stop moving,

00:07:21.659 --> 00:07:22.879
 because they would know he died

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.360
 because he did something improperly,

00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:25.779
 and they could drag his dead body

00:07:25.779 --> 00:07:26.879
 out of the Holy of Holies.

00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:28.560
 That's how serious it was

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.399
 to enter into the presence of God.

00:07:30.599 --> 00:07:31.219
 So the writer of Hebrews

00:07:31.219 --> 00:07:33.420
 is either teaching us for the first time,

00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:34.839
 for many of us,

00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.060
 but here he's writing to a Jewish culture

00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:40.119
 and he's reminding them of this.

00:07:40.419 --> 00:07:43.039
 What an awesome thing it was

00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:45.159
 to enter into the presence of God.

00:07:46.219 --> 00:07:47.399
 He goes on to tell us

00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:48.560
 that there's now been

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.259
 that atoning sacrifice,

00:07:50.339 --> 00:07:51.359
 once and for all,

00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:53.399
 has been made by Jesus Christ,

00:07:53.620 --> 00:07:55.199
 our great high priest.

00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:57.959
 Greater than any of the high priests,

00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.239
 he has made one sacrifice

00:07:59.239 --> 00:08:01.359
 that has officially and forever

00:08:01.359 --> 00:08:03.599
 atoned for the sins of God's people.

00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.580
 So now,

00:08:05.820 --> 00:08:07.400
 we come to verse 19.

00:08:08.300 --> 00:08:08.660
 Therefore,

00:08:10.020 --> 00:08:12.020
 since we have confidence

00:08:12.020 --> 00:08:14.000
 to enter the Holy Place

00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:15.540
 by the blood of Jesus Christ.

00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:19.120
 How shocking would that have been

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:19.780
 to the readers,

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.340
 the original readers of this letter?

00:08:21.960 --> 00:08:23.680
 We read past things like that, right?

00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:25.060
 Yeah, confidence, yeah, yeah.

00:08:25.200 --> 00:08:26.260
 To enter into the Holy Places.

00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:28.260
 Confidence.

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:29.700
 Even the high priest

00:08:29.700 --> 00:08:30.720
 didn't have confidence

00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:31.540
 when he entered in.

00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:32.600
 He had safeguards.

00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:33.220
 The safeguards.

00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:34.300
 The bells and the rope.

00:08:34.659 --> 00:08:35.580
 Guys, I'm going in.

00:08:36.060 --> 00:08:36.779
 You may not come out.

00:08:37.580 --> 00:08:38.340
 Pull me out, alright?

00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:39.320
 Bury me somewhere.

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.300
 Don't stink up the Holy Place

00:08:41.300 --> 00:08:42.340
 because I'm not sure

00:08:42.340 --> 00:08:43.100
 how this is going to go.

00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:45.000
 We, though,

00:08:45.060 --> 00:08:45.840
 by the blood of Christ,

00:08:45.940 --> 00:08:47.100
 we have confidence

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:48.820
 to enter into

00:08:48.820 --> 00:08:50.060
 the Holy Places

00:08:50.060 --> 00:08:51.379
 by Jesus'

00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:52.840
 body.

00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:53.720
 The curtain

00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:54.580
 that was torn.

00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:55.000
 You remember

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:55.960
 when Christ died?

00:08:56.340 --> 00:08:57.379
 The temple curtain

00:08:57.379 --> 00:08:58.580
 that was dividing

00:08:58.580 --> 00:08:59.780
 the Holy of Holies

00:08:59.780 --> 00:09:00.620
 from the Holy Place

00:09:00.620 --> 00:09:01.960
 tore from top to bottom.

00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:03.680
 And here the writer of Hebrews

00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:04.840
 says it was his body

00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:06.340
 that tore that curtain

00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:07.540
 for us.

00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:09.340
 And then verse 22,

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.200
 let us

00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:12.840
 draw near.

00:09:14.139 --> 00:09:14.980
 And that's where we're going to

00:09:14.980 --> 00:09:15.680
 spend our time

00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:16.620
 this morning.

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.500
 We'll get to the rest of the verse

00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:19.100
 next week.

00:09:19.420 --> 00:09:20.139
 But this morning,

00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:21.700
 we're going to spend our time,

00:09:22.700 --> 00:09:23.360
 verse 22,

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:24.700
 let us

00:09:24.700 --> 00:09:25.860
 draw near.

00:09:27.180 --> 00:09:28.200
 Christian worship,

00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:29.100
 let me say.

00:09:29.379 --> 00:09:30.560
 Because we can,

00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:31.840
 let's do that.

00:09:32.139 --> 00:09:33.320
 Because this is a grace

00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:34.200
 given to us,

00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.120
 let's draw near

00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:37.580
 to God.

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:39.940
 Now,

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:40.980
 we all worship all the time.

00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:41.919
 And I know that.

00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:42.519
 Alright?

00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:43.879
 If you don't,

00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:45.159
 we all worship all the time.

00:09:45.220 --> 00:09:45.940
 It depends on what

00:09:45.940 --> 00:09:46.659
 you're worshiping.

00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:47.680
 So this morning,

00:09:47.740 --> 00:09:48.360
 we're talking about

00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:49.139
 Christian worship,

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.019
 not the worship of other things,

00:09:51.060 --> 00:09:51.600
 of your stuff,

00:09:51.659 --> 00:09:52.180
 or yourself,

00:09:52.179 --> 00:09:53.559
 or your girlfriend,

00:09:53.819 --> 00:09:54.459
 or your wife,

00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:56.620
 your favorite football team.

00:09:56.659 --> 00:09:57.159
 We're talking about

00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:58.139
 Christian worship.

00:09:59.239 --> 00:10:00.239
 Because we all worship

00:10:00.239 --> 00:10:00.839
 all the time.

00:10:01.459 --> 00:10:01.959
 And particularly,

00:10:02.059 --> 00:10:02.799
 we're going to talk this morning

00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:03.539
 about those things

00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:04.500
 that we do corporately,

00:10:04.719 --> 00:10:05.139
 together.

00:10:06.419 --> 00:10:06.819
 Certainly,

00:10:06.939 --> 00:10:07.379
 there are times

00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:08.279
 for individual worship.

00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:09.819
 I would encourage you to it.

00:10:10.839 --> 00:10:12.479
 But specifically this morning,

00:10:12.579 --> 00:10:13.319
 about those things

00:10:13.319 --> 00:10:14.299
 that we do corporately,

00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:15.599
 the prayers we pray,

00:10:16.099 --> 00:10:17.219
 the songs that we sing,

00:10:17.959 --> 00:10:18.819
 and the study

00:10:18.819 --> 00:10:20.079
 of the Scriptures.

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.180
 Now,

00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:23.520
 this concept of worship,

00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:24.200
 this idea,

00:10:24.340 --> 00:10:25.540
 the subject of worship,

00:10:25.660 --> 00:10:27.759
 has spawned many battles

00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:28.780
 in the church.

00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:29.340
 In fact,

00:10:29.400 --> 00:10:29.900
 officially,

00:10:30.280 --> 00:10:30.860
 they're called

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:31.780
 worship battles.

00:10:32.379 --> 00:10:33.960
 When you hear that term,

00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:35.200
 it's in reference

00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:36.259
 to songs,

00:10:36.520 --> 00:10:37.160
 specifically.

00:10:38.180 --> 00:10:39.180
 We've probably all

00:10:39.180 --> 00:10:40.340
 participated in that

00:10:40.340 --> 00:10:41.620
 in some degree,

00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:43.120
 or at least been around that.

00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:44.500
 I like the drums.

00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:45.520
 I don't like the drums.

00:10:46.020 --> 00:10:46.879
 I like hymns.

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.139
 I like modern praise

00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:48.580
 and worship.

00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.159
 I prefer the contemporary service.

00:10:51.539 --> 00:10:53.379
 I'll go to the traditional service.

00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:55.120
 I like things acoustic.

00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:57.220
 I love an electric guitar.

00:10:58.299 --> 00:10:59.740
 These types of arguments,

00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:01.500
 which are much heat

00:11:01.500 --> 00:11:03.439
 with very little light,

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:04.799
 if that makes sense

00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:05.379
 to you at all.

00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:06.799
 These arguments

00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:08.860
 are predicated

00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:09.759
 on opinion.

00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:11.720
 We do the same thing

00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:12.240
 with preaching.

00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:13.580
 There are varying

00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:15.299
 preaching styles.

00:11:15.299 --> 00:11:16.839
 Some preachers

00:11:16.839 --> 00:11:17.479
 use their hands,

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.419
 as you'll notice I do.

00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:20.279
 Some stand kind of stiffly

00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:21.199
 behind a lectern.

00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:23.679
 I like his preaching.

00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:24.799
 I get a lot out of it.

00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:26.299
 I don't prefer his preaching.

00:11:26.500 --> 00:11:27.279
 I don't enjoy it.

00:11:29.359 --> 00:11:31.679
 Many, many things

00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:32.339
 that cost heat,

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:33.559
 but very, very little light.

00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:34.919
 And all are predicated

00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:36.620
 on opinion.

00:11:38.659 --> 00:11:40.099
 So who gets to define

00:11:40.099 --> 00:11:41.599
 how we worship?

00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:43.839
 Is it us?

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.480
 Who gets to define

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:47.100
 how we worship?

00:11:47.420 --> 00:11:47.860
 Ultimately,

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.280
 who has the final say

00:11:50.280 --> 00:11:51.240
 in what happens

00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:52.100
 here

00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:54.060
 in Christ's family church

00:11:54.060 --> 00:11:55.280
 on Sunday morning?

00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:58.320
 Who decides that?

00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:01.899
 God decides that.

00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:03.360
 Beloved,

00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:04.519
 the Bible gives us

00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:05.500
 much latitude

00:12:05.500 --> 00:12:06.300
 in the particulars.

00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:07.759
 Much latitude.

00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:09.040
 There is no

00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:10.879
 New Testament-inspired liturgy.

00:12:11.300 --> 00:12:11.900
 An order.

00:12:11.899 --> 00:12:14.039
 I could preach

00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:14.659
 at the beginning

00:12:14.659 --> 00:12:15.179
 and we could do

00:12:15.179 --> 00:12:15.759
 all the songs

00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:16.259
 at the end.

00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:17.199
 I could preach

00:12:17.199 --> 00:12:17.679
 at the end

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:18.279
 and all the songs

00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:18.699
 at the beginning.

00:12:18.819 --> 00:12:19.240
 I can preach

00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:19.919
 right in the middle

00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:21.120
 like we do.

00:12:21.939 --> 00:12:22.679
 There is no

00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:23.759
 inspired liturgy.

00:12:24.319 --> 00:12:25.439
 There's much latitude.

00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:26.879
 We can play drums.

00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:28.220
 We don't have to use drums.

00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:29.459
 We can use an organ.

00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:30.579
 It doesn't matter

00:12:30.579 --> 00:12:31.299
 if we don't.

00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:33.459
 There is room

00:12:33.459 --> 00:12:34.659
 for preference.

00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:35.939
 But ultimately,

00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:37.980
 how do we filter

00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:38.960
 what we do?

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:40.460
 How do we hold it up

00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:41.060
 to light

00:12:41.060 --> 00:12:42.600
 and see if what we're doing

00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:43.280
 is proper

00:12:43.280 --> 00:12:45.180
 on Sunday morning?

00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:46.720
 Now, it's not my burden

00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:47.160
 this morning

00:12:47.160 --> 00:12:48.019
 to prove to you

00:12:48.019 --> 00:12:48.820
 that what we do

00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:49.940
 is right.

00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:50.860
 I am sure

00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:51.740
 we can improve

00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:52.500
 what we do together.

00:12:53.680 --> 00:12:55.100
 I just want to hold

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:56.100
 what we do up

00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:57.900
 to the lens of Scripture

00:12:57.900 --> 00:12:59.120
 to the very beginning

00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:00.820
 of verse 22.

00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.200
 Let us draw near.

00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:05.220
 And here is the reason.

00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:07.180
 In Matthew 15,

00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:08.019
 verse 8 and 9,

00:13:08.300 --> 00:13:09.000
 Jesus says this

00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:09.759
 to the Pharisees,

00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:10.920
 This people

00:13:10.920 --> 00:13:12.639
 honors me with their lips,

00:13:12.740 --> 00:13:13.320
 but their heart

00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:14.160
 is far from me.

00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:15.320
 In vain

00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:16.500
 do they worship me,

00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.220
 teaching as doctrines

00:13:18.220 --> 00:13:19.220
 the commandments

00:13:19.220 --> 00:13:19.680
 of men.

00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:23.080
 Does that scare you

00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:24.180
 a little bit?

00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:27.500
 It scares me.

00:13:27.860 --> 00:13:29.000
 Let me explain to you why.

00:13:31.680 --> 00:13:33.060
 Jesus says to them,

00:13:33.800 --> 00:13:35.000
 Your worship

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.019
 the thing you call worship

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:39.000
 and I am calling worship,

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:40.860
 so catch that,

00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:42.940
 is in vain.

00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:46.320
 So we can call

00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:47.059
 what we do worship,

00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:48.440
 even God will call it worship.

00:13:49.259 --> 00:13:50.559
 But if we don't worship

00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:51.379
 rightly,

00:13:51.899 --> 00:13:53.500
 it's in vain.

00:13:54.460 --> 00:13:55.460
 That frightens me.

00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:59.059
 And for these people,

00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:00.000
 it wasn't that they were

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.919
 worshiping the wrong God.

00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.639
 they were worshiping

00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:04.599
 the right God

00:14:04.599 --> 00:14:06.219
 wrongly.

00:14:08.539 --> 00:14:09.639
 So let's learn a little bit

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:10.899
 about how to worship

00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:12.099
 the right God

00:14:12.099 --> 00:14:13.179
 rightly.

00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:15.779
 Let us draw near.

00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:16.939
 And the implication is

00:14:16.939 --> 00:14:17.860
 let us draw near

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:19.219
 to God.

00:14:19.299 --> 00:14:20.339
 So if you hear me say that

00:14:20.339 --> 00:14:21.219
 and your text doesn't read

00:14:21.219 --> 00:14:21.759
 that way,

00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:22.979
 I'm adding the to God

00:14:22.979 --> 00:14:23.519
 because of the

00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:24.199
 preceding verses.

00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:25.939
 Let us draw near to God.

00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:26.940
 I discovered this week

00:14:26.940 --> 00:14:28.580
 that this phrase,

00:14:28.820 --> 00:14:30.040
 I thought I was being

00:14:30.040 --> 00:14:32.260
 very holy to preach

00:14:32.260 --> 00:14:33.500
 on just one little phrase,

00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:34.980
 it's actually,

00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:36.480
 in the original language,

00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:36.860
 in Greek,

00:14:36.920 --> 00:14:38.200
 it's actually one word.

00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:40.260
 So I'm preaching on one word

00:14:40.260 --> 00:14:40.880
 this morning.

00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:42.060
 That word is

00:14:42.060 --> 00:14:43.520
 proserkamai.

00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:45.360
 Don't write it down.

00:14:45.500 --> 00:14:46.100
 Proserkamai.

00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:47.759
 And I'm going to

00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:48.720
 break out some of this

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:48.980
 for you,

00:14:49.019 --> 00:14:49.680
 but it is

00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:50.519
 plural,

00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:51.500
 present tense,

00:14:52.259 --> 00:14:53.340
 in the active voice,

00:14:54.540 --> 00:14:55.740
 and in the subjunctive mood.

00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.019
 This one word

00:14:58.019 --> 00:14:58.960
 tells us

00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:00.080
 an immense amount

00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:01.460
 about how we ought

00:15:01.460 --> 00:15:02.500
 to worship together

00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:03.480
 corporately.

00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:04.820
 So I have three points

00:15:04.820 --> 00:15:05.220
 this morning.

00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:06.220
 Number one,

00:15:08.060 --> 00:15:08.680
 Christian worship

00:15:08.680 --> 00:15:09.340
 is

00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:10.860
 corporate

00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:12.180
 in emphasis.

00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:15.040
 It's corporate

00:15:15.040 --> 00:15:15.680
 in emphasis.

00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.940
 We can see that

00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:19.000
 in the plural form

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.279
 of this word,

00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.000
 as well as the rest

00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:24.560
 of the text.

00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:25.820
 Take a quick look with me.

00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:26.720
 Verse 22,

00:15:27.540 --> 00:15:28.420
 let us,

00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:29.980
 our hearts,

00:15:30.340 --> 00:15:31.399
 our bodies.

00:15:31.800 --> 00:15:32.480
 Verse 19,

00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:34.080
 since we have confidence.

00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:34.860
 Verse 20,

00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.340
 that he opened for us.

00:15:37.899 --> 00:15:38.519
 Verse 21,

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.440
 since we have a great priest.

00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.460
 Verse 23,

00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.019
 let us hold fast

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:43.879
 the confession of

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.620
 our hope.

00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:46.840
 verse 24,

00:15:47.620 --> 00:15:48.720
 let us

00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:50.000
 consider.

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:52.220
 Now,

00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:53.679
 I understand

00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:54.120
 that worship

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:54.799
 is a lifestyle.

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:55.960
 I'm one of the first

00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:56.840
 people to complain

00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:57.740
 about folks

00:15:57.740 --> 00:15:58.539
 who just call

00:15:58.539 --> 00:15:59.720
 music worship.

00:16:00.580 --> 00:16:00.799
 Right?

00:16:01.299 --> 00:16:02.220
 To think that

00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:03.240
 only the time,

00:16:03.299 --> 00:16:03.879
 the only time

00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:04.299
 I can come

00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:05.000
 and worship God

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:05.720
 is when

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:06.840
 I come to church

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:07.679
 and we sing songs

00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:08.060
 together.

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:09.759
 That's improper.

00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:11.120
 Entirely improper.

00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:11.679
 However,

00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:16.379
 worship is

00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:17.419
 congregational

00:16:17.419 --> 00:16:19.220
 in emphasis.

00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:20.200
 If you look

00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:20.820
 throughout the scriptures

00:16:20.820 --> 00:16:21.419
 at the instruction

00:16:21.419 --> 00:16:21.960
 for worship,

00:16:22.179 --> 00:16:22.919
 it is

00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:24.360
 heavily weighted

00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:24.940
 to the side

00:16:24.940 --> 00:16:25.960
 of the congregation.

00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.240
 I'll explain

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:29.620
 why in a second.

00:16:30.300 --> 00:16:31.280
 But here's the problem

00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:31.980
 with the

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:33.920
 worship is a lifestyle.

00:16:34.060 --> 00:16:34.560
 I hear people say that.

00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:34.720
 Well,

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:35.720
 worship is a lifestyle.

00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:36.900
 So what we tend

00:16:36.900 --> 00:16:37.440
 to do then

00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:37.879
 is use it

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:38.940
 as an excuse

00:16:38.940 --> 00:16:40.480
 to not meet

00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:41.280
 with the congregation.

00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:42.620
 Some of you

00:16:42.620 --> 00:16:43.259
 may know somebody

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:43.660
 who says,

00:16:43.780 --> 00:16:44.740
 I just feel close

00:16:44.740 --> 00:16:45.139
 to God

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:46.000
 when I go hiking.

00:16:47.060 --> 00:16:47.840
 So I'm going

00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:48.580
 to go on Sunday

00:16:48.580 --> 00:16:48.879
 mornings

00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:49.759
 to worship God

00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:50.860
 on the Appalachian Trail.

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:53.039
 Now,

00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:53.539
 there's something

00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:54.320
 wrong with you

00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:55.659
 if when you hike

00:16:55.659 --> 00:16:56.460
 the Appalachian Trail

00:16:56.460 --> 00:16:57.159
 and you get to some

00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:58.759
 of those grand overlooks,

00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:00.360
 you aren't caused

00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:01.259
 to worship God.

00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:03.480
 You should worship God

00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:04.380
 when you spend time

00:17:04.380 --> 00:17:04.860
 in nature.

00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:06.680
 He created it.

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:07.960
 It speaks of His glory.

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:10.039
 You should do this thing.

00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:12.740
 However,

00:17:13.360 --> 00:17:14.279
 God's character

00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:15.960
 culminates

00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:17.200
 in the person

00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:17.660
 and work

00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:18.519
 of Jesus Christ.

00:17:19.339 --> 00:17:20.200
 The redemption

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:21.019
 of His people

00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:22.340
 and we must

00:17:22.340 --> 00:17:23.100
 be in the midst

00:17:23.100 --> 00:17:23.660
 of His people

00:17:23.660 --> 00:17:24.440
 to have our minds

00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:24.900
 and hearts

00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:26.039
 lifted properly

00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:27.039
 to God.

00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:30.460
 The grandest

00:17:30.460 --> 00:17:31.539
 overlook you've seen

00:17:31.539 --> 00:17:33.340
 on the AT

00:17:33.340 --> 00:17:34.740
 does not compare

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:35.340
 to the people

00:17:35.340 --> 00:17:36.240
 sitting in this room.

00:17:38.840 --> 00:17:39.500
 We're all

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.319
 a pitiful looking

00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:41.279
 bunch of people,

00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:42.240
 but what Christ

00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:43.120
 has done for us

00:17:43.120 --> 00:17:45.360
 is awesome.

00:17:47.120 --> 00:17:48.240
 We properly

00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:49.019
 worship God

00:17:49.019 --> 00:17:49.539
 when we're with

00:17:49.539 --> 00:17:50.080
 His people

00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:51.019
 because we see

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:51.759
 the greatest

00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:53.399
 work that God

00:17:53.399 --> 00:17:54.179
 has accomplished

00:17:54.179 --> 00:17:56.480
 amongst His people.

00:17:57.819 --> 00:17:58.419
 Martin Luther

00:17:58.419 --> 00:17:59.000
 said rightly,

00:17:59.379 --> 00:18:00.099
 if you expect

00:18:00.099 --> 00:18:00.699
 to have God

00:18:00.699 --> 00:18:01.699
 as your father,

00:18:01.699 --> 00:18:03.899
 I just fancy

00:18:03.899 --> 00:18:04.639
 lost my spot.

00:18:04.939 --> 00:18:05.319
 There we go.

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.139
 Sorry.

00:18:07.779 --> 00:18:08.220
 There we go.

00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:08.859
 If you expect

00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:09.439
 to have God

00:18:09.439 --> 00:18:10.079
 as your father,

00:18:10.379 --> 00:18:11.519
 you must embrace

00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:12.159
 the church

00:18:12.159 --> 00:18:13.259
 as your mother.

00:18:14.059 --> 00:18:14.799
 If you expect

00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:15.319
 to have God

00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:15.779
 as your father,

00:18:15.859 --> 00:18:16.720
 you must embrace

00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:18.120
 the church

00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:18.920
 as your mother.

00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:20.460
 Any expression

00:18:20.460 --> 00:18:21.440
 of Christianity

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.180
 devoid of the church

00:18:23.180 --> 00:18:24.380
 is totally

00:18:24.380 --> 00:18:25.079
 foreign

00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:26.120
 to the pages

00:18:26.120 --> 00:18:26.559
 of Scripture.

00:18:28.019 --> 00:18:28.980
 I encourage you

00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:29.539
 to begin

00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:30.400
 reading

00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:31.120
 Scriptures

00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:31.779
 in that way.

00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:32.699
 Pay attention

00:18:32.699 --> 00:18:34.439
 to the pronouns.

00:18:35.819 --> 00:18:36.519
 The writer of Hebrews

00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:37.339
 did not get himself

00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:38.019
 trapped

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:39.619
 in a pronoun

00:18:39.619 --> 00:18:40.299
 conundrum.

00:18:40.459 --> 00:18:40.939
 He didn't start

00:18:40.939 --> 00:18:41.459
 verse 19

00:18:41.459 --> 00:18:41.699
 and say,

00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:42.259
 therefore,

00:18:42.459 --> 00:18:42.799
 brothers,

00:18:43.339 --> 00:18:45.500
 now I've got to say

00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:46.739
 all these plural pronouns

00:18:46.739 --> 00:18:47.419
 throughout the rest

00:18:47.419 --> 00:18:47.919
 of the text.

00:18:48.479 --> 00:18:49.099
 Now I'm stuck

00:18:49.099 --> 00:18:49.399
 with these

00:18:49.399 --> 00:18:50.379
 we's and us's.

00:18:51.439 --> 00:18:52.500
 It wasn't an accident.

00:18:52.939 --> 00:18:53.299
 He could have

00:18:53.299 --> 00:18:54.059
 simply gone back

00:18:54.059 --> 00:18:54.419
 and changed

00:18:54.419 --> 00:18:54.759
 brothers.

00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:57.940
 It was inspired

00:18:57.940 --> 00:18:58.660
 that way.

00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:00.660
 We have a shared

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:02.059
 faith.

00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:04.359
 Language entered

00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:06.059
 into evangelicalism

00:19:06.059 --> 00:19:07.140
 in the 60s.

00:19:08.099 --> 00:19:08.720
 Much of the

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.799
 traveling evangelists

00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:12.920
 will phrase

00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:14.619
 personal relationship

00:19:14.619 --> 00:19:15.640
 with Jesus Christ.

00:19:16.140 --> 00:19:17.000
 We're all familiar

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:17.759
 with that phrase.

00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:19.700
 True

00:19:19.700 --> 00:19:20.980
 that Christ

00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:22.140
 saves individuals.

00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:24.240
 I'm one of them.

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:25.000
 true

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:25.880
 that I have

00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:27.039
 a personal

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:27.559
 relationship

00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:28.740
 with Jesus Christ.

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:29.740
 I don't need

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:30.480
 an intermediary

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:30.960
 for me

00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:31.480
 to pray.

00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:32.099
 I can go

00:19:32.099 --> 00:19:32.900
 personally

00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:34.740
 to Him

00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:35.660
 to pray.

00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:37.279
 All that's true.

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:39.319
 But why is it

00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:40.019
 that we think

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:40.920
 when we step

00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:41.579
 outside of the

00:19:41.579 --> 00:19:42.279
 language of Scripture

00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:43.299
 we won't have

00:19:43.299 --> 00:19:44.579
 problems as a result?

00:19:46.120 --> 00:19:46.599
 The simple

00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:47.160
 call

00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:48.759
 to salvation

00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:49.319
 is not

00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:50.839
 personal relationship

00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:51.620
 with Jesus Christ.

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.259
 It's repent

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:52.839
 and believe.

00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.359
 So as we

00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:56.059
 stepped outside

00:19:56.059 --> 00:19:56.619
 of that

00:19:56.619 --> 00:19:57.799
 as evangelicals

00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:59.359
 we began

00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:00.299
 to lose

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:01.119
 the value

00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:02.859
 of church

00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:03.919
 of the congregation

00:20:03.919 --> 00:20:05.099
 the fact

00:20:05.099 --> 00:20:05.459
 that we have

00:20:05.459 --> 00:20:06.019
 been called

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:07.639
 as a people

00:20:07.639 --> 00:20:08.799
 persons

00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:09.980
 but as a

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:11.059
 people.

00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:12.399
 We lose

00:20:12.399 --> 00:20:13.099
 that value

00:20:13.099 --> 00:20:13.599
 in there.

00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:14.419
 Look at some

00:20:14.419 --> 00:20:15.480
 of the shocking

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:16.779
 even language

00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:17.480
 of the New Testament.

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:18.140
 We are

00:20:18.140 --> 00:20:18.819
 compared to

00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:19.360
 a body

00:20:19.360 --> 00:20:20.920
 made up

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:21.240
 of many

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:21.779
 parts

00:20:21.779 --> 00:20:23.299
 a household

00:20:23.299 --> 00:20:23.819
 made up

00:20:23.819 --> 00:20:24.759
 of family

00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:25.299
 members

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:26.799
 a temple

00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:27.480
 made up

00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:28.680
 of living

00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:29.640
 stones.

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:31.039
 These are the

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:31.740
 analogies that

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:32.120
 we're given

00:20:32.120 --> 00:20:33.220
 the metaphors

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:34.519
 by which to

00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:35.220
 view the church

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:36.980
 and the result

00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:37.980
 always in these

00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:38.440
 texts

00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:40.339
 is that by

00:20:40.339 --> 00:20:40.660
 themselves

00:20:40.660 --> 00:20:41.019
 they make

00:20:41.019 --> 00:20:41.640
 no sense.

00:20:43.120 --> 00:20:43.940
 The individual

00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:44.559
 parts

00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:45.480
 are meant

00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:45.980
 to be part

00:20:45.980 --> 00:20:46.460
 of a whole.

00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:47.720
 They're not

00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:48.599
 meant to exist

00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:50.400
 on their own.

00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:53.039
 Look at David

00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:53.500
 wrote many

00:20:53.500 --> 00:20:53.900
 of our

00:20:53.900 --> 00:20:54.799
 songs

00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:56.759
 most of

00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:57.160
 them in

00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:57.480
 scripture.

00:20:58.960 --> 00:20:59.779
 Psalm 22

00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:00.819
 says I will

00:21:00.819 --> 00:21:01.420
 tell of your

00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:02.160
 name to my

00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:02.700
 brothers in

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:03.160
 the midst

00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:03.519
 of the

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:04.079
 congregation

00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:05.240
 I will

00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.759
 praise you.

00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:07.160
 Psalm 40

00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:07.920
 9 and 10

00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:08.420
 I have told

00:21:08.420 --> 00:21:08.779
 the glad

00:21:08.779 --> 00:21:09.160
 news of

00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:09.759
 deliverance

00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:10.019
 in the

00:21:10.019 --> 00:21:10.360
 great

00:21:10.360 --> 00:21:11.180
 congregation

00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:12.380
 behold I

00:21:12.380 --> 00:21:12.599
 have not

00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:13.000
 restrained

00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:13.480
 my lips

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:13.860
 as you

00:21:13.860 --> 00:21:14.099
 know

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:14.620
 O Lord

00:21:14.620 --> 00:21:14.920
 I have

00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.319
 not hidden

00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:15.480
 your

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:15.919
 deliverance

00:21:15.919 --> 00:21:16.119
 within

00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:16.319
 my

00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:16.679
 heart

00:21:16.679 --> 00:21:17.259
 I have

00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:17.599
 spoken

00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:17.939
 of your

00:21:17.939 --> 00:21:18.500
 faithfulness

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:18.919
 and your

00:21:18.919 --> 00:21:19.399
 salvation

00:21:19.399 --> 00:21:20.220
 I have

00:21:20.220 --> 00:21:20.460
 not

00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:20.980
 concealed

00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:21.220
 your

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:21.700
 steadfast

00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:21.980
 love

00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:22.220
 and your

00:21:22.220 --> 00:21:22.679
 faithfulness

00:21:22.679 --> 00:21:23.299
 from your

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:24.019
 great

00:21:24.019 --> 00:21:25.139
 congregation

00:21:25.139 --> 00:21:28.000
 Psalm 149

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:28.899
 says praise

00:21:28.899 --> 00:21:29.319
 the Lord

00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:29.980
 sing to the

00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:30.439
 Lord a

00:21:30.439 --> 00:21:31.039
 new song

00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:32.119
 his praise

00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:32.460
 in the

00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:32.939
 assembly

00:21:32.939 --> 00:21:33.759
 of the

00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:34.179
 godly

00:21:34.179 --> 00:21:34.460
 and we

00:21:34.460 --> 00:21:34.819
 could go

00:21:34.819 --> 00:21:35.419
 on and

00:21:35.419 --> 00:21:35.919
 on and

00:21:35.919 --> 00:21:36.099
 on

00:21:36.099 --> 00:21:36.480
 I kind

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:36.579
 of

00:21:36.579 --> 00:21:37.359
 skipped

00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:37.799
 through

00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:39.460
 the book

00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:39.879
 of Psalms

00:21:39.879 --> 00:21:40.339
 for you

00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:42.559
 David

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:43.019
 understood

00:21:43.019 --> 00:21:44.000
 what it

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:44.359
 meant

00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:46.119
 to praise

00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:46.459
 god

00:21:46.459 --> 00:21:46.699
 in the

00:21:46.699 --> 00:21:47.299
 congregation

00:21:47.299 --> 00:21:48.939
 public

00:21:48.939 --> 00:21:49.659
 glory

00:21:49.659 --> 00:21:50.519
 brings

00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:50.839
 more

00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:51.179
 glory

00:21:51.179 --> 00:21:51.339
 than

00:21:51.339 --> 00:21:51.699
 private

00:21:51.699 --> 00:21:52.059
 glory

00:21:52.059 --> 00:21:53.599
 I

00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:53.719
 could

00:21:53.719 --> 00:21:53.939
 say to

00:21:53.939 --> 00:21:54.079
 my

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:54.399
 wife

 let me

00:21:56.399 --> 00:21:56.559
 how

00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:56.919
 wonderful

00:21:59.539 --> 00:21:59.939

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:04.240
 wife

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:04.359
 though

00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:04.619
 when I

00:22:04.619 --> 00:22:04.779
 say

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:04.919
 to

00:22:04.919 --> 00:22:05.079
 you

00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:05.519
 I

00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:10.059
 her

00:22:10.059 --> 00:22:11.099

00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:11.259
 she

00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:11.440
 wants

00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:11.539
 me

00:22:11.539 --> 00:22:11.639

 was

00:25:39.619 --> 00:25:39.880
 worth

00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:40.680
 it

00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:42.700
 rather than

 God

00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:44.420
 bit

00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:44.819
 of what

 gave

00:25:46.420 --> 00:25:46.759
 God

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.640
 much

00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:47.920

00:27:55.059 --> 00:27:55.259
 while

00:27:55.259 --> 00:27:55.480
 Kate

00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:55.640
 is

00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:56.019
 napping

00:27:56.019 --> 00:27:57.059
 and

00:27:57.059 --> 00:27:57.440
 kind of

00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:57.880
 recoup

00:27:57.880 --> 00:27:58.220
 from the

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:58.500
 morning

00:27:58.500 --> 00:27:58.860
 and I

00:27:58.860 --> 00:27:59.099
 often

00:27:59.099 --> 00:27:59.420
 wake up

00:27:59.420 --> 00:27:59.680
 from that

00:27:59.680 --> 00:27:59.940
 nap

00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:00.339
 and think

00:28:00.339 --> 00:28:01.559
 we have

00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:01.759
 to do

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:01.960
 this

00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:02.440
 again

00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:04.160
 tonight

00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:04.400
 we're

00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:04.559
 getting

00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:04.880
 back

00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:05.319
 together

00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:05.880
 again

00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:07.079
 I

00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:07.299
 have to

00:28:07.299 --> 00:28:07.640
 prepare

00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:07.779
 I

00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:07.960
 haven't

00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:08.099
 even

00:28:08.099 --> 00:28:08.500
 looked at

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:08.839
 the text

00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:09.000
 we're

00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:09.279
 studying

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:09.500
 this

00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:09.799
 evening

00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:12.200
 the

00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:12.839
 thing

00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:13.099
 that

00:28:13.099 --> 00:28:13.559
 makes

00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:13.799
 me

00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:14.220
 come

00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:14.639
 even

00:28:14.639 --> 00:28:15.259
 sometimes

00:28:15.259 --> 00:28:15.440
 I

00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:15.659
 walk

00:28:15.659 --> 00:28:15.759
 in

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:15.919
 these

00:28:15.919 --> 00:28:16.180
 doors

00:28:16.180 --> 00:28:16.440
 not

00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:16.680
 wanting

00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:16.819
 to

00:28:16.819 --> 00:28:16.940
 be

00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:17.200
 here

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:18.259
 the

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:18.539
 thing

00:28:18.539 --> 00:28:18.700
 that

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:18.940
 makes

00:28:18.940 --> 00:28:19.119
 me

00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:19.359
 come

00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:19.480
 is

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:19.559
 I

00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:19.960
 know

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.259
 this

00:28:20.259 --> 00:28:20.399
 to

00:28:20.399 --> 00:28:20.519
 be

00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:20.879
 true

00:28:20.879 --> 00:28:22.299
 I

00:28:22.299 --> 00:28:22.460
 know

00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:22.639
 that

00:28:22.639 --> 00:28:22.879
 throughout

00:28:22.879 --> 00:28:23.079
 my

00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:23.339
 life

00:28:23.339 --> 00:28:23.480
 I

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:23.599
 have

00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:23.740
 been

00:28:23.740 --> 00:28:24.240
 most

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:24.879
 blessed

00:28:24.879 --> 00:28:25.240
 by

00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:25.599
 God

00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:25.740
 when

00:28:25.740 --> 00:28:25.899
 I'm

00:28:25.899 --> 00:28:26.059
 with

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:26.220
 his

00:28:26.220 --> 00:28:26.599
 people

00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:29.079
 if

00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:29.139
 you

00:28:29.139 --> 00:28:29.240
 have

00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:29.379
 not

00:28:29.379 --> 00:28:30.019
 experienced

00:28:30.019 --> 00:28:30.460
 that

00:28:30.460 --> 00:28:30.559
 I

00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:30.680
 would

00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:31.059
 invite

00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:31.359
 you

00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:31.879
 to

00:28:31.879 --> 00:28:32.200
 involve

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:32.220
!

00:28:32.220 --> 00:28:32.720
 yourself

00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:33.720
 with

00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:33.839
 the

00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:34.339
 congregation

00:28:34.339 --> 00:28:35.419
 now

00:28:35.419 --> 00:28:35.619
 of course

00:28:35.619 --> 00:28:35.740
 there

00:28:35.740 --> 00:28:35.819
 are

00:28:35.819 --> 00:28:36.220
 exceptions

00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:36.779
!

00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:37.379
 we

00:28:37.380 --> 00:28:37.720
 can't

00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:37.940
 all

00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:38.100
 be

00:28:38.100 --> 00:28:38.280
 here

00:28:38.280 --> 00:28:38.500
 all

00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:38.660
 the

00:28:38.660 --> 00:28:39.020
 time

00:28:39.020 --> 00:28:41.340
 conveniently

00:28:41.340 --> 00:28:41.620
 I

00:28:41.620 --> 00:28:41.760
 get

00:28:41.760 --> 00:28:41.880
 to

00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:42.200
 schedule

00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:42.720
 events

00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:42.920
 I'm

00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:43.100
 part

00:28:43.100 --> 00:28:43.180
 of

00:28:43.180 --> 00:28:43.300
 that

00:28:43.300 --> 00:28:43.720
 process

00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:43.920
 so

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:44.000
 I

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.140
 can

00:28:44.140 --> 00:28:44.400
 schedule

00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:44.660
 things

00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:44.940
 around

00:28:44.940 --> 00:28:45.660
 my

00:28:45.660 --> 00:28:46.000
 schedule

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:46.160
 so

00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:46.280
 I'm

00:28:46.280 --> 00:28:46.420
 not

00:28:46.420 --> 00:28:46.760
 talking

00:28:46.760 --> 00:28:47.000
 about

00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:47.300
 people

00:28:47.300 --> 00:28:47.660
 who

00:28:47.660 --> 00:28:48.220
 have

00:28:48.220 --> 00:28:48.360
 to

00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:48.780
 work

00:28:48.780 --> 00:28:49.780
 sometimes

00:28:49.780 --> 00:28:50.500
 I'm

00:28:50.500 --> 00:28:50.600
 not

00:28:50.600 --> 00:28:50.920
 talking

00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:51.200
 about

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:51.580
 those

00:28:51.580 --> 00:28:51.860
 who

00:28:51.860 --> 00:28:52.720
 physically

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.700
 can't

00:28:53.700 --> 00:28:54.280
 get

00:28:54.280 --> 00:28:54.680
 themselves

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:54.960
 out

00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:55.360
 of bed

00:28:55.360 --> 00:28:55.560
 to

00:28:55.560 --> 00:28:55.920
 come

00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:56.480
 I

00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:57.480
 hope

00:28:57.480 --> 00:28:57.680
 I

00:28:57.680 --> 00:28:58.040
 think

00:28:58.040 --> 00:28:58.340
 that

00:28:58.340 --> 00:28:58.600
 God

00:28:58.600 --> 00:28:58.820
 gives

00:28:58.820 --> 00:28:59.180
 extra

00:28:59.180 --> 00:28:59.560
 grace

00:28:59.560 --> 00:28:59.860
 to

00:28:59.860 --> 00:29:00.400
 those

00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:00.720
 who

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:01.340
 are

00:29:01.340 --> 00:29:01.820
 invalids

00:29:01.820 --> 00:29:01.960
 and

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:02.220
 can't

00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:02.640
 actually

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:02.980
 make

00:29:02.980 --> 00:29:03.200
 it

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.580
 to

00:29:03.580 --> 00:29:03.720
 meet

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:03.840
 with

00:29:03.840 --> 00:29:03.940
 the

00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:04.420
 congregation

00:29:04.420 --> 00:29:06.700
 I'm

00:29:06.700 --> 00:29:06.819
 not

00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:07.140
 talking

00:29:07.140 --> 00:29:07.380
 about

00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:07.720
 people

00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:08.240
 in

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.440
 our

00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:08.720
 case

00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:08.880
 that

00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:09.080
 live

00:29:09.080 --> 00:29:09.319
 too

00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:09.620
 far

00:29:09.620 --> 00:29:10.039
 away

00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:10.500
 to

00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:13.279
 do

00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:14.019
 ultimately

00:29:14.019 --> 00:29:14.319
 what I'm

00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:14.580
 talking

00:29:14.580 --> 00:29:14.799
 about

00:29:15.059 --> 00:29:15.519
 hearts

00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:18.920
 just

00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:19.400
 find

00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:19.759
 something

 do

00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:21.180
 there's

00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:21.440
 something

00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:21.880
 better

00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:22.160
 something

00:29:25.259 --> 00:29:25.360
 like

00:29:25.360 --> 00:29:25.480
 to

 enough

00:30:05.060 --> 00:30:06.300
 some

 that

00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:07.220

 been

00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:27.619
 entirely

00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:28.259
 absurd

00:31:28.259 --> 00:31:28.980
 to

00:31:31.139 --> 00:31:31.359
 think

00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:31.460
 that

00:31:31.460 --> 00:31:31.579
 they

00:31:31.579 --> 00:31:31.819
 even

00:31:31.819 --> 00:31:32.099
 needed

00:31:32.099 --> 00:31:32.259
 to

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:32.400
 give

 us

00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:32.779
 some

00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:54.859
 weeks

00:31:54.859 --> 00:31:56.660
 our

00:31:56.660 --> 00:31:57.019

00:31:57.019 --> 00:31:57.200
 to

00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:57.420
 avoid

00:31:57.420 --> 00:31:58.000
 legalism

00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:59.339
 should

 never

00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:01.279
 prevent

00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:01.700
 us

00:32:01.700 --> 00:32:02.519
 from

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:03.799
 sense

00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:06.559
 so

00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:06.759
 someone

00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:06.980
 comes

 very

00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:06.860

00:34:16.179 --> 00:34:18.760
 something

00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:19.240

00:34:19.240 --> 00:34:19.539
 against

 this

00:34:23.059 --> 00:34:23.220
 so

00:34:23.220 --> 00:34:23.380
 I'm

00:34:23.380 --> 00:34:23.579

00:34:25.059 --> 00:34:25.320
 it's

00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:25.440
 not

00:34:28.220 --> 00:34:28.619
 often

00:34:28.619 --> 00:34:28.820
 we

00:34:28.820 --> 00:34:29.039
 put

00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:29.699
 form

00:37:41.660 --> 00:37:42.660

00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:50.559

00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:50.739
 he's

00:37:50.739 --> 00:37:51.000
 done

00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:54.079
 so

00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:54.219
 you

00:37:54.219 --> 00:37:54.380
 hear

00:37:54.380 --> 00:37:54.579
 a lot

00:37:54.579 --> 00:37:54.719

00:37:57.500 --> 00:37:57.880

00:37:57.880 --> 00:37:58.099
 to

00:37:58.099 --> 00:37:58.280
 make

00:37:58.280 --> 00:37:58.420
 it

00:37:58.420 --> 00:37:58.940
 comfortable

00:37:58.940 --> 00:37:59.980
 for

00:37:59.980 --> 00:38:00.320
 lost

00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:00.659
 people

00:38:00.659 --> 00:38:00.940
 to

00:38:00.940 --> 00:38:01.159
 come

00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:01.460
 in

00:38:01.460 --> 00:38:02.179
 and

00:38:02.179 --> 00:38:03.000
 meld

00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:03.420
 not

00:38:03.420 --> 00:38:03.659
 feel

00:38:03.659 --> 00:38:03.940
 too

00:38:03.940 --> 00:38:04.460
 offended

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:05.559
 and

00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:05.759
 so

00:38:05.759 --> 00:38:05.800
 you

00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:06.000
 ask

00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:06.139
 the

00:38:06.139 --> 00:38:06.420
 question

00:38:06.420 --> 00:38:06.639
 should

00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:06.780
 we

00:38:06.780 --> 00:38:07.059
 plan

00:38:07.059 --> 00:38:07.259
 our

00:38:07.259 --> 00:38:07.800
 services

00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:08.539
 for

00:38:08.539 --> 00:38:08.759
 lost

00:38:08.759 --> 00:38:09.059
 people

00:38:09.059 --> 00:38:09.300
 and

00:38:09.300 --> 00:38:09.699
 I

00:38:09.699 --> 00:38:09.780
 think

00:38:09.780 --> 00:38:09.860
 I

00:38:09.860 --> 00:38:09.960
 would

00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:10.280
 surprise

00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:10.559
 you

00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:11.119
 by

00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:11.460
 saying

00:38:11.460 --> 00:38:12.519
 yes

00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:13.719
 I

00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:13.880
 think

00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:14.000
 we

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:14.259
 should

00:38:14.259 --> 00:38:15.320
 I

00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:15.420
 think

00:38:15.420 --> 00:38:15.519
 we

00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:15.659
 should

00:38:15.659 --> 00:38:15.780
 do

00:38:15.780 --> 00:38:16.059
!

00:38:16.059 --> 00:38:16.280
 we

00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:16.440
 do

00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:16.440


00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:16.579
 we

00:38:16.579 --> 00:38:16.679
 should

00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:16.960
 arrange

00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:17.299
 everything

00:38:17.299 --> 00:38:17.480
 we're

00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:17.819
 doing

00:38:17.819 --> 00:38:19.299
 for

00:38:19.299 --> 00:38:19.559
 lost

00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:19.839
 people

00:38:19.839 --> 00:38:21.579
 but

00:38:21.579 --> 00:38:21.739
 with

00:38:21.739 --> 00:38:21.899
 this

00:38:21.899 --> 00:38:22.039
 in

00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:22.279
 mind

00:38:22.279 --> 00:38:22.699
 in

00:38:22.699 --> 00:38:22.859
 John

00:38:22.859 --> 00:38:23.079
 chapter

00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:23.319
 4

00:38:23.319 --> 00:38:23.559
 Jesus

00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:23.960
 says

00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:24.500
 that

00:38:24.500 --> 00:38:24.619
 the

00:38:24.619 --> 00:38:24.919
 father

00:38:24.919 --> 00:38:25.099
 is

00:38:25.099 --> 00:38:25.299
 looking

00:38:25.299 --> 00:38:25.480
 for

00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:25.859
 those

00:38:25.859 --> 00:38:26.359
 who

00:38:26.359 --> 00:38:26.500
 will

00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:26.779
 worship

00:38:26.779 --> 00:38:27.119
 him

00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:28.019
 in

00:38:28.019 --> 00:38:28.279
 what

00:38:28.279 --> 00:38:29.239
 spirit

00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:30.519
 and

00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:30.679
 in

00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:31.019
 truth

00:38:31.019 --> 00:38:33.619
 God's

00:38:33.619 --> 00:38:33.699
 the

00:38:33.699 --> 00:38:33.979
 ultimate

00:38:33.979 --> 00:38:34.459
 seeker

00:38:34.459 --> 00:38:35.659
 is he

00:38:35.659 --> 00:38:35.899
 not

00:38:35.899 --> 00:38:38.119
 if we

00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:38.579
 want to

00:38:38.579 --> 00:38:38.959
 draw

00:38:38.959 --> 00:38:39.359
 people

00:38:39.359 --> 00:38:39.919
 into

00:38:39.919 --> 00:38:40.439
 us

00:38:40.439 --> 00:38:41.679
 we

00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:41.879
 ought

00:38:41.879 --> 00:38:42.019
 to

00:38:42.019 --> 00:38:42.379
 arrange

00:38:42.379 --> 00:38:42.579
 our

00:38:42.579 --> 00:38:43.019
 services

00:38:43.019 --> 00:38:43.399
 in

00:38:43.399 --> 00:38:43.619
 such

00:38:43.619 --> 00:38:43.759
 a

00:38:43.759 --> 00:38:43.919
 way

00:38:43.919 --> 00:38:44.119
 that

00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:44.239
 we

00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:44.799
 worship

00:38:44.799 --> 00:38:45.879
 God

00:38:45.879 --> 00:38:46.699
 that

00:38:46.699 --> 00:38:46.779
 it

00:38:46.779 --> 00:38:46.879
 is

00:38:46.879 --> 00:38:47.299
 entirely

00:38:47.299 --> 00:38:48.059
 preoccupied

00:38:48.059 --> 00:38:48.259
 with

00:38:48.259 --> 00:38:48.539
 him

00:38:48.539 --> 00:38:48.959
 and

00:38:48.959 --> 00:38:49.079
 the

00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:49.279
 lost

00:38:49.279 --> 00:38:49.599
 person

00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:49.779
 who's

00:38:49.779 --> 00:38:49.899
 being

00:38:49.899 --> 00:38:50.159
 called

00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:50.339
 by

00:38:50.339 --> 00:38:50.679
 God

00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:51.939
 fit

00:38:51.939 --> 00:38:52.159
 right

00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:52.379
 in

00:38:52.379 --> 00:38:57.079
 worship

00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:57.339
 at

00:38:57.339 --> 00:38:57.479
 its

00:38:57.479 --> 00:38:57.839
 very

00:38:57.839 --> 00:38:58.500
 essence

00:38:58.500 --> 00:39:00.159
 is a

00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:00.739
 reply

00:39:00.739 --> 00:39:01.400
 to

00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:01.659
 God

00:39:01.659 --> 00:39:02.260
 it's

00:39:02.260 --> 00:39:02.360
 a

00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:02.519
 it's

00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:02.659
 a

00:39:02.659 --> 00:39:03.260
 reflex

00:39:03.260 --> 00:39:04.280
 remember

00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:04.539
 sitting

00:39:04.539 --> 00:39:04.800
 on the

00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:05.019
 table

00:39:05.019 --> 00:39:05.340
 when you're

00:39:05.340 --> 00:39:05.599
 a kid

00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:05.800
 getting

00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:06.099
 the check

00:39:06.099 --> 00:39:06.239
 up

00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:06.440
 and getting

00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:06.840
 your knee

00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:07.659
 bopped

00:39:07.659 --> 00:39:07.920
 and you do

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:08.219
 that little

00:39:08.219 --> 00:39:08.500
 kick

00:39:08.500 --> 00:39:08.920
 you couldn't

00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:09.360
 help it

00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:10.199
 as Chris

00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:10.579
 talked about

00:39:10.579 --> 00:39:10.940
 the Grand

00:39:10.940 --> 00:39:11.219
 Canyon

00:39:11.219 --> 00:39:11.880
 last week

00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:12.599
 and that's

00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:13.280
 the analogy

00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:13.539
 that was

00:39:13.539 --> 00:39:13.840
 brought to

00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:14.280
 my mind

00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:14.480
 it's like

00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:14.860
 standing at

00:39:14.860 --> 00:39:15.039
 the edge

00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:15.179
 of the

00:39:15.179 --> 00:39:15.360
 Grand

00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:15.659
 Canyon

00:39:15.659 --> 00:39:16.380
 how can

00:39:16.380 --> 00:39:16.519
 you

00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:16.940
 not

00:39:16.940 --> 00:39:17.380
 go

00:39:17.380 --> 00:39:18.800
 oh

00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:20.559
 I had

00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:21.219
 no idea

00:39:21.219 --> 00:39:21.679
 I said

00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:21.840
 it was

00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:22.219
 grand

00:39:22.219 --> 00:39:22.900
 but man

00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:24.500
 this is

00:39:24.500 --> 00:39:25.019
 a big

00:39:25.019 --> 00:39:25.699
 canyon

00:39:25.699 --> 00:39:27.119
 it's a

00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:27.760
 response to

00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:28.019
 what

00:39:28.019 --> 00:39:29.059
 we

00:39:29.059 --> 00:39:29.880
 see

00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:30.900
 there

00:39:30.900 --> 00:39:32.019
 so we

00:39:32.019 --> 00:39:32.659
 must then

00:39:32.659 --> 00:39:33.780
 know

00:39:33.780 --> 00:39:34.460
 something of

00:39:34.460 --> 00:39:34.739
 the God

00:39:34.739 --> 00:39:35.239
 we worship

00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:37.000
 right

00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:38.139
 it's why we

00:39:38.139 --> 00:39:38.900
 preach

00:39:38.900 --> 00:39:39.940
 expositionally

00:39:39.940 --> 00:39:40.920
 it's why we

00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:41.780
 go verse by

00:39:41.780 --> 00:39:42.579
 verse through

00:39:42.579 --> 00:39:43.639
 his written

00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:44.139
 word

00:39:44.139 --> 00:39:44.759
 because it

00:39:44.759 --> 00:39:45.139
 belongs to

00:39:45.139 --> 00:39:45.420
 him

00:39:45.420 --> 00:39:46.340
 and he

00:39:46.340 --> 00:39:46.539
 thought it

00:39:46.539 --> 00:39:47.000
 was important

00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:47.860
 to tell us

00:39:47.860 --> 00:39:48.420
 the things

00:39:48.420 --> 00:39:49.440
 contained in

00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:49.659
 it

00:39:49.659 --> 00:39:50.860
 it's why

00:39:50.860 --> 00:39:51.340
 we sing

00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:51.759
 wordy

00:39:51.759 --> 00:39:52.219
 songs

00:39:52.219 --> 00:39:53.179
 everybody

00:39:53.179 --> 00:39:55.719
 the scriptures

00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:57.139
 all the songs

00:39:57.139 --> 00:39:57.559
 in scripture

00:39:57.559 --> 00:39:58.380
 are wordy

00:39:58.380 --> 00:40:00.860
 but beyond

00:40:00.860 --> 00:40:01.219
 that

00:40:01.219 --> 00:40:02.099
 it teaches

00:40:02.099 --> 00:40:02.840
 us something

00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:03.759
 we know

00:40:03.759 --> 00:40:04.420
 the God

00:40:04.420 --> 00:40:05.799
 we praise

00:40:05.799 --> 00:40:09.139
 if you can

00:40:09.139 --> 00:40:09.799
 take a song

00:40:09.799 --> 00:40:10.400
 that's sung in

00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:10.699
 church

00:40:10.699 --> 00:40:11.400
 and replace

00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:12.380
 Jesus with

00:40:12.380 --> 00:40:12.980
 your girlfriend's

00:40:12.980 --> 00:40:13.340
 name and it

00:40:13.340 --> 00:40:13.739
 still makes

00:40:13.739 --> 00:40:14.179
 sense

00:40:14.179 --> 00:40:15.299
 it doesn't

00:40:15.299 --> 00:40:15.820
 belong

00:40:15.820 --> 00:40:16.259
 in the

00:40:16.259 --> 00:40:16.759
 service

00:40:16.759 --> 00:40:18.139
 it's not

00:40:18.139 --> 00:40:18.539
 the place

00:40:18.539 --> 00:40:19.039
 for it

00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:21.799
 it's why

00:40:21.799 --> 00:40:22.119
 we do

00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:22.519
 things that

00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:22.659
 way

00:40:22.659 --> 00:40:23.059
 because the

00:40:23.059 --> 00:40:23.420
 integrity

00:40:23.420 --> 00:40:23.699
 of our

00:40:23.699 --> 00:40:24.000
 worship

00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:25.179
 is determined

00:40:25.179 --> 00:40:25.579
 by the

00:40:25.579 --> 00:40:25.860
 substance

00:40:25.860 --> 00:40:26.320
 that fuels

00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:26.539
 it

00:40:26.539 --> 00:40:29.640
 we can

00:40:29.640 --> 00:40:30.400
 very easily

00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:31.059
 serve

00:40:31.059 --> 00:40:32.960
 the right

00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:33.200
 God

00:40:33.200 --> 00:40:33.860
 wrongly

00:40:33.860 --> 00:40:34.280
 we can

00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:34.860
 also very

00:40:34.860 --> 00:40:35.460
 easily

00:40:35.460 --> 00:40:36.860
 serve the

00:40:36.860 --> 00:40:37.420
 wrong God

00:40:37.420 --> 00:40:37.720
 a God

00:40:37.720 --> 00:40:37.960
 that we

00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:38.400
 don't even

00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:39.160
 understand

00:40:39.160 --> 00:40:42.400
 next week

00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:42.700
 we'll talk

00:40:42.700 --> 00:40:43.400
 more about

00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:44.760
 passion

00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:45.320
 and truth

00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:46.660
 marrying those

00:40:46.660 --> 00:40:47.140
 two together

00:40:47.140 --> 00:40:48.180
 but our

00:40:48.180 --> 00:40:48.880
 worship

00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:49.800
 the integrity

00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:50.059
 of it

00:40:50.059 --> 00:40:50.260
 is going to

00:40:50.260 --> 00:40:50.760
 be determined

00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:51.720
 by the

00:40:51.720 --> 00:40:52.300
 substance

00:40:52.300 --> 00:40:53.900
 that fuels

00:40:53.900 --> 00:40:54.160
 it

00:40:54.160 --> 00:40:57.760
 psalm

 the
