00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:07.400
 Romans chapter 12 verse 9 to 21 and it's page 1139 in the Church Bible.

00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:14.620
 Romans chapter 12 verse 9 to 21 and page 1139.

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:22.059
 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil. Cling to what is good.

00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:25.219
 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.

00:00:25.219 --> 00:00:33.799
 Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:38.859
 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.140
 Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:48.200
 Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.200
 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Mourn with those who mourn.

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.320
 Live in harmony with one another.

00:00:56.160 --> 00:01:00.620
 Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.

00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:02.440
 Do not be conceited.

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:05.859
 Do not repay anyone evil for evil.

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.620
 Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:16.640
 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.120
 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath.

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:22.379
 For it is written,

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:24.420
 It is mine to avenge.

00:01:25.019 --> 00:01:26.659
 I will repay, says the Lord.

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:28.000
 On the contrary,

00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:30.200
 if your enemy is hungry,

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:31.280
 feed him.

00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.079
 If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.159
 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.

00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:39.219
 Do not be overcome by evil,

00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:41.319
 but overcome evil with good.

00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:48.319
 Thank you.

00:01:57.919 --> 00:01:59.259
 Thank you.

00:01:59.259 --> 00:01:59.359
 Thank you.

00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:02.959
 Well, please keep your Bibles open there at Romans 12.

00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:09.500
 we're looking at a new section a new series which we're calling the gospel applied which

00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:16.799
 simply means that the good news of jesus is not just for people who are not yet christians but

00:02:16.799 --> 00:02:24.419
 it's for the church and it shapes us and it transforms us as we saw last week into people

00:02:24.419 --> 00:02:31.219
 who serve and who sacrifice and this week we'll see how it shapes us to be a people of love

00:02:31.219 --> 00:02:36.680
 so let's ask for god's help as we look at his word together

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:53.800
 father would you by your holy spirit please teach us

00:02:53.800 --> 00:03:08.260
 teach us what love is all about correct our misunderstandings of what love is

00:03:08.260 --> 00:03:17.080
 and please show us what it is to be a community of love

00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:26.740
 that reflects the love of god to us to one another

00:03:26.740 --> 00:03:31.340
 to the world and to the community around us

00:03:31.340 --> 00:03:39.620
 father would you please change us through what we look at today

00:03:39.620 --> 00:03:47.219
 and that we will be different people as a result that we would be more christ-like

00:03:47.219 --> 00:03:58.020
 we cannot do this ourselves and so we come humbly asking that you would change us

00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:04.340
 we pray this in jesus name amen

00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:12.820
 so where would we go to

00:04:12.820 --> 00:04:17.780
 if we want to find true love

00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:21.259
 well it might seem strange

00:04:21.259 --> 00:04:26.800
 but the answer is this we need look no further than the church

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:35.399
 and i'm not talking about the physical or sexual relationships that our culture defines as love

00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:41.959
 i'm talking about genuine and sincere love where people are look at verse 10

00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:49.359
 of chapter 12 where people are devoted to one another in brotherly love

00:04:49.359 --> 00:04:55.599
 and look at verse 15 where people rejoice with those who rejoice

00:04:55.599 --> 00:04:59.299
 and mourn with those who mourn

00:04:59.299 --> 00:05:04.459
 this is the kind of love that the world is looking for

00:05:04.459 --> 00:05:06.479
 it's a love that's faithful and loyal

00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:10.560
 it's a love that's giving and is not demanding

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.500
 it's a love that is caring and not self-seeking

00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:19.839
 it's the kind of love that never gives up on people whenever we fail

00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:24.519
 and the place that we find this true love

00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.680
 is in the church

00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.660
 after all the church is to be

00:05:29.660 --> 00:05:31.680
 a community

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.259
 of love

00:05:33.259 --> 00:05:39.699
 the church that this letter was written to the book of romans

00:05:39.699 --> 00:05:44.459
 was written to a people who were from all kinds of backgrounds

00:05:44.459 --> 00:05:48.259
 there were very religious people like the jews

00:05:48.259 --> 00:05:51.500
 there were people who were non-religious like the gentiles

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:55.060
 some were of a very high position who were very wealthy

00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:58.139
 there were others of a low position who didn't have much

00:05:58.139 --> 00:06:01.659
 they were a mixed bunch racially

00:06:01.659 --> 00:06:03.879
 culturally and socially

00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:09.639
 and the potential within that community for division and disagreement was huge

00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.159
 and so he's writing

00:06:13.159 --> 00:06:15.759
 to encourage them

00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.300
 to show them what it is to be a loving community

00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:22.480
 that is committed to each other

00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:26.600
 and there are two things that make

00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.939
 a loving community

00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:29.900
 possible

00:06:29.900 --> 00:06:31.400
 first

00:06:31.400 --> 00:06:35.560
 they are a people who have come to experience

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.060
 God's mercy

00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:38.879
 go back to chapter 12

00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:40.920
 verse 1 because this is where

00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.280
 this whole passage flows out of

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:44.600
 it all flows from

00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.560
 verse 1 of chapter 12

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:47.420
 therefore

00:06:47.420 --> 00:06:48.939
 I urge you

00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:50.259
 brothers and sisters

00:06:50.259 --> 00:06:51.280
 in view

00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:53.079
 of God's mercy

00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:54.720
 he's reminding

00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:55.860
 the people

00:06:55.860 --> 00:06:56.980
 to look back

00:06:56.980 --> 00:06:58.319
 at the mercy

00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.899
 they have received

00:06:59.899 --> 00:07:01.000
 from God

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.220
 so why don't we do that

00:07:03.220 --> 00:07:04.379
 let's look back to

00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:06.000
 Romans chapter 5

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:06.920
 verse 8

00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:08.220
 as just one example

00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:10.340
 of where we see

00:07:10.340 --> 00:07:11.399
 God's mercy

00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.139
 to us

00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:14.100
 as people

00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:16.700
 Romans chapter 5

00:07:16.700 --> 00:07:18.220
 and verse 6

00:07:18.220 --> 00:07:23.760
 so we're looking back

00:07:23.760 --> 00:07:24.760
 and wanting to see

00:07:24.760 --> 00:07:27.240
 what God has done for us

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:28.180
 and this is what it says

00:07:28.180 --> 00:07:28.680
 verse 6

00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.520
 you see at just the right time

00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:31.620
 when we were still

00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:32.600
 powerless

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.000
 Christ died

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:36.780
 for the ungodly

00:07:36.780 --> 00:07:38.939
 very rarely will anyone die

00:07:38.939 --> 00:07:39.700
 for a righteous

00:07:39.700 --> 00:07:40.740
 person

00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:41.879
 though for a good person

00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.219
 someone might possibly

00:07:43.219 --> 00:07:44.180
 dare to die

00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:45.560
 but

00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.159
 God demonstrates

00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:48.819
 his own

00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:50.360
 love for us

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:51.100
 in this

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:53.100
 while we were still

00:07:53.100 --> 00:07:53.759
 sinners

00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.519
 Christ died

00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:56.860
 for us

00:07:56.860 --> 00:07:59.219
 when we were still

00:07:59.219 --> 00:08:00.659
 in active rebellion

00:08:00.659 --> 00:08:01.699
 against God

00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:03.240
 when we had no time

00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:03.740
 for God

00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:05.060
 when we didn't want him

00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:07.360
 God reached out

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.319
 in love

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:09.579
 to us

00:08:09.579 --> 00:08:11.339
 and died

00:08:11.339 --> 00:08:12.219
 for us

00:08:12.219 --> 00:08:16.599
 go back to chapter 12

00:08:16.599 --> 00:08:18.800
 he's saying

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.699
 view God's mercy

00:08:20.699 --> 00:08:22.659
 see how much

00:08:22.659 --> 00:08:23.199
 God

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:24.319
 has loved you

00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:25.839
 see how he has

00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:26.740
 forgiven you

00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:27.719
 how he has

00:08:27.719 --> 00:08:28.779
 accepted you

00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:30.199
 and welcomed you

00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:30.879
 into

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:32.179
 his family

00:08:32.179 --> 00:08:34.600
 and when we see that

00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:35.319
 it has this

00:08:35.319 --> 00:08:36.299
 knock on effect

00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:38.359
 so

00:08:38.359 --> 00:08:39.620
 second

00:08:39.620 --> 00:08:42.079
 we now belong

00:08:42.079 --> 00:08:43.179
 to each other

00:08:43.179 --> 00:08:44.559
 so look at chapter 12

00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:45.299
 verse 5

00:08:45.299 --> 00:08:46.759
 in view of God's mercy

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:47.479
 verse 1

00:08:47.479 --> 00:08:49.179
 this is the knock on effect

00:08:49.179 --> 00:08:50.599
 this is the working out of it

00:08:50.599 --> 00:08:51.259
 verse 5

00:08:51.259 --> 00:08:53.279
 so in Christ

00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.359
 we who are many

00:08:55.359 --> 00:08:56.339
 form

00:08:56.339 --> 00:08:57.459
 one body

00:08:57.459 --> 00:08:59.259
 and each member

00:08:59.259 --> 00:09:00.419
 belongs

00:09:00.419 --> 00:09:02.359
 to all the others

00:09:02.359 --> 00:09:03.979
 so this church

00:09:03.979 --> 00:09:05.439
 that has come to experience

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:06.400
 God's mercy

00:09:06.400 --> 00:09:07.280
 and God's love

00:09:07.280 --> 00:09:08.580
 is not a collection

00:09:08.580 --> 00:09:09.460
 of individuals

00:09:09.460 --> 00:09:11.160
 all doing their own thing

00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:12.720
 no they are now

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.680
 a community

00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:15.320
 of God's people

00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:16.700
 who are committed

00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:18.400
 to each other

00:09:18.400 --> 00:09:20.820
 so look at some of the words

00:09:20.820 --> 00:09:21.680
 that we have here

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:22.400
 in this section

00:09:22.400 --> 00:09:23.680
 chapter 12

00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:24.480
 verse 10

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:25.280
 it says

00:09:25.280 --> 00:09:26.480
 be devoted

00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:27.040
 to

00:09:27.040 --> 00:09:28.700
 one another

00:09:28.700 --> 00:09:30.520
 verse 13

00:09:30.520 --> 00:09:32.500
 share with God's

00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:33.320
 people

00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.720
 verse 16

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:37.140
 live in harmony

00:09:37.140 --> 00:09:37.580
 with

00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:39.140
 one another

00:09:39.140 --> 00:09:41.340
 verse 17

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:43.020
 be careful

00:09:43.020 --> 00:09:43.520
 to do

00:09:43.520 --> 00:09:44.340
 what is right

00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:45.160
 in the eyes

00:09:45.160 --> 00:09:45.379
 of

00:09:45.379 --> 00:09:46.620
 everybody

00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:48.740
 verse 18

00:09:48.740 --> 00:09:50.500
 the end of verse 18

00:09:50.500 --> 00:09:51.820
 live at peace

00:09:51.820 --> 00:09:52.180
 with

00:09:52.180 --> 00:09:53.379
 everyone

00:09:53.379 --> 00:09:56.240
 you see

00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.100
 when we come

00:09:57.100 --> 00:09:57.540
 to know

00:09:57.540 --> 00:09:58.580
 the mercy of God

00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:00.220
 when we experience

00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:01.040
 God's love

00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:02.039
 love in our own life

00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.120
 it begins to

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:04.000
 shape us

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:05.679
 and transform us

00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:07.219
 and it creates us

00:10:07.219 --> 00:10:08.059
 and builds us

00:10:08.059 --> 00:10:09.079
 and forms us

00:10:09.079 --> 00:10:10.500
 into a community

00:10:10.500 --> 00:10:11.299
 of people

00:10:11.299 --> 00:10:12.659
 that are committed

00:10:12.659 --> 00:10:14.079
 to one another

00:10:14.079 --> 00:10:14.759
 no longer

00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:15.579
 individuals

00:10:15.579 --> 00:10:16.860
 but now

00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:17.959
 God's people

00:10:17.959 --> 00:10:18.779
 together

00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:20.079
 and all of this

00:10:20.079 --> 00:10:21.000
 leads to

00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.559
 thirdly

00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:23.500
 a community

00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:24.879
 of love

00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:25.879
 love

00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:26.679
 so

00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:27.480
 verse 9

00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.000
 he says

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.480
 to them

00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:30.559
 love

00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:31.840
 must be

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.039
 sincere

00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.100
 so the church

00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:35.779
 is not a

00:10:35.779 --> 00:10:36.220
 theatre

00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:37.399
 where everybody

00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:38.220
 comes in

00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:38.960
 different kinds

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:39.679
 of costumes

00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:40.539
 and their mask

00:10:40.539 --> 00:10:41.500
 and they're all

00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:42.460
 acting out

00:10:42.460 --> 00:10:43.460
 a particular role

00:10:43.460 --> 00:10:45.320
 there's no hypocrisy

00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:46.200
 there's no

00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:46.919
 pretense

00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:47.840
 in this community

00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.240
 no this is

00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:49.960
 real

00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:50.960
 verse 9

00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:51.820
 and this is

00:10:51.820 --> 00:10:52.679
 sincere

00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:53.919
 these are a

00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:54.259
 people

00:10:54.259 --> 00:10:54.819
 who have

00:10:54.819 --> 00:10:55.219
 come to

00:10:55.219 --> 00:10:56.120
 experience

00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:56.719
 the deep

00:10:56.719 --> 00:10:57.179
 love of

00:10:57.179 --> 00:10:57.599
 Christ

00:10:57.599 --> 00:10:58.479
 and now

00:10:58.479 --> 00:10:59.219
 they live

00:10:59.219 --> 00:10:59.939
 out that

00:10:59.939 --> 00:11:00.379
 love

00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:01.620
 in commitment

00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:03.139
 to one

00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:03.539
 another

00:11:03.539 --> 00:11:06.679
 so we want

00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:07.219
 to ask

00:11:07.219 --> 00:11:07.799
 what does

00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:08.559
 this community

00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:09.299
 of love

00:11:09.299 --> 00:11:10.519
 look like

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:11.579
 in practice

00:11:11.579 --> 00:11:13.379
 when the gospel

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:14.179
 has come into

00:11:14.179 --> 00:11:14.979
 our lives

00:11:14.979 --> 00:11:16.299
 and when it

00:11:16.299 --> 00:11:17.019
 has changed

00:11:17.019 --> 00:11:17.839
 us and brought

00:11:17.839 --> 00:11:18.439
 us together

00:11:18.439 --> 00:11:19.839
 what does

00:11:19.839 --> 00:11:20.359
 it actually

00:11:20.359 --> 00:11:21.059
 look like

00:11:21.059 --> 00:11:21.959
 in practice

00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:23.600
 well three

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.040
 things

00:11:24.040 --> 00:11:24.519
 first

00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.840
 it shapes

00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:27.379
 us into

00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:27.860
 being a

00:11:27.860 --> 00:11:28.440
 community

00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:30.080
 where love

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.060
 has no

00:11:31.060 --> 00:11:31.960
 limits

00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:33.800
 it shapes

00:11:33.800 --> 00:11:34.280
 us into

00:11:34.280 --> 00:11:34.960
 a community

00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:35.720
 where love

00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:36.639
 has no

00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:37.639
 limits

00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.320
 look at

00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:39.920
 verse 10

00:11:39.920 --> 00:11:41.340
 be devoted

00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:41.960
 to one

00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:42.340
 another

00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:43.600
 in brotherly

00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:44.879
 or family

00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:45.440
 love

00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:46.379
 because of

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:46.940
 our faith

00:11:46.940 --> 00:11:47.600
 in Christ

00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.820
 because we've

00:11:48.820 --> 00:11:49.340
 been welcomed

00:11:49.340 --> 00:11:49.879
 into the

00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:50.720
 family of God

00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:51.660
 we are now

00:11:51.660 --> 00:11:52.220
 he's saying

00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:53.480
 brothers and

00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:54.460
 sisters together

00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:55.019
 we're like

00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:55.740
 a big

00:11:55.740 --> 00:11:56.360
 family

00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.560
 so how do

00:11:58.560 --> 00:11:59.240
 we show

00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:00.519
 our devotion

00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:01.440
 to one another

00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:02.120
 within this

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:02.519
 family

00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:03.160
 within this

00:12:03.160 --> 00:12:03.620
 gathering

00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:04.700
 well read on

00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:05.379
 in verse 10

00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:05.820
 it says

00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:06.440
 honour

00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:07.740
 one another

00:12:07.740 --> 00:12:09.600
 above

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:10.340
 yourselves

00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:12.360
 honour

00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:12.980
 one another

00:12:12.980 --> 00:12:13.899
 above yourselves

00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:15.259
 so we look at

00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:15.840
 each other

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:16.700
 as more

00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:17.160
 important

00:12:17.160 --> 00:12:17.759
 the person

00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:18.620
 beside me

00:12:18.620 --> 00:12:19.279
 is more

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:19.700
 important

00:12:19.700 --> 00:12:20.200
 than me

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:20.860
 and that

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:21.519
 person

00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:22.360
 is more

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:22.939
 in need

00:12:22.939 --> 00:12:23.659
 of love

00:12:23.659 --> 00:12:24.580
 than what

00:12:24.580 --> 00:12:25.120
 I am

00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:25.740
 that's how

00:12:25.740 --> 00:12:26.259
 we view

00:12:26.259 --> 00:12:26.840
 each other

00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:27.879
 so on a

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:28.539
 Sunday morning

00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:28.939
 when we

00:12:28.939 --> 00:12:29.360
 come in

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:29.759
 together

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:30.559
 or when it

00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.000
 comes to

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:31.360
 tea and

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.059
 coffee time

00:12:32.059 --> 00:12:32.819
 we don't

00:12:32.819 --> 00:12:33.360
 sit and

00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:33.740
 wait for

00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:34.319
 somebody to

00:12:34.319 --> 00:12:34.720
 come to

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:35.059
 me and

00:12:35.059 --> 00:12:35.639
 ask me

00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:36.600
 how am I

00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:37.059
 doing

00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:38.740
 rather we

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:39.299
 take the

00:12:39.299 --> 00:12:39.700
 initiative

00:12:39.700 --> 00:12:40.519
 and we

00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:41.000
 go to

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:41.340
 the other

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:41.879
 person

00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:42.539
 and we

00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:43.120
 ask them

00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:43.759
 how are

00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:44.399
 you doing

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:45.259
 and how

00:12:45.259 --> 00:12:45.700
 can I

00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:46.100
 serve

00:12:46.100 --> 00:12:46.500
 you

00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:47.680
 because

00:12:47.680 --> 00:12:47.920
 we're

00:12:47.920 --> 00:12:48.259
 always

00:12:48.259 --> 00:12:48.680
 viewing

00:12:48.680 --> 00:12:49.139
 the other

00:12:49.139 --> 00:12:49.580
 person

00:12:49.580 --> 00:12:49.940
 as in

00:12:49.940 --> 00:12:50.460
 need

00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:51.040
 of

00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:51.519
 love

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.220
 now

00:12:54.220 --> 00:12:54.519
 that's

00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:54.700
 not

00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:54.940
 easy

00:12:54.940 --> 00:12:55.379
 to do

00:12:55.379 --> 00:12:55.800
 is it

00:12:55.800 --> 00:12:56.440
 so look

00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:56.800
 at verse

00:12:56.800 --> 00:12:57.139
 11

00:12:57.139 --> 00:12:57.759
 he says

00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.980
 never be

00:12:58.980 --> 00:12:59.360
 lacking

00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:00.000
 in zeal

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:00.779
 never

00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:01.879
 be lacking

00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:02.480
 in your

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:03.440
 enthusiasm

00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:04.940
 to love

00:13:04.940 --> 00:13:05.639
 one another

00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.480
 never be

00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:07.779
 lacking

00:13:07.779 --> 00:13:08.279
 in zeal

00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:09.000
 but keep

00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:09.519
 your

00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:10.340
 spiritual

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:11.080
 fervour

00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:12.019
 serving

00:13:12.019 --> 00:13:12.580
 the Lord

00:13:12.580 --> 00:13:14.279
 so if

00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:14.720
 ever you

00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:15.440
 feel like

00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:16.000
 your heart

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:16.940
 is empty

00:13:16.940 --> 00:13:18.460
 and there's

00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:19.120
 no love

00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:19.779
 in there

00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:20.759
 and you've

00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:21.220
 just got

00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:21.879
 nothing to

00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:22.279
 give

00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:23.000
 he's saying

00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:23.600
 remind

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:24.360
 yourself

00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:25.419
 of God's

00:13:25.419 --> 00:13:25.879
 faithful

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.379
 and loyal

00:13:26.379 --> 00:13:26.840
 love to

00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:27.059
 you

00:13:27.059 --> 00:13:27.720
 keep

00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:28.200
 your

00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:29.120
 spiritual

00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:30.240
 fervour

00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.860
 go back

00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:32.399
 again to

00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:32.919
 the mercy

00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:33.580
 of God

00:13:33.580 --> 00:13:34.419
 look at

00:13:34.419 --> 00:13:34.720
 the way

00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:35.059
 in which

00:13:35.059 --> 00:13:35.679
 God has

00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:36.039
 loved

00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:36.399
 you

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.259
 let that

00:13:37.259 --> 00:13:37.759
 change

00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:37.980
 you

00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:38.620
 and refresh

00:13:38.620 --> 00:13:39.039
 you

00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:39.580
 and fill

00:13:39.580 --> 00:13:39.899
 you

00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:41.000
 so that

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:41.759
 love

00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:42.980
 overflows

00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:43.740
 from your

00:13:43.740 --> 00:13:44.100
 life

00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:44.820
 to other

00:13:44.820 --> 00:13:45.340
 people

00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:47.340
 keep

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:47.620
 your

00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:48.259
 spiritual

00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:48.980
 fervour

00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:50.899
 and one

00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:51.220
 of the

00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:51.780
 practical

00:13:51.780 --> 00:13:52.300
 ways

00:13:52.300 --> 00:13:52.680
 in which

00:13:52.680 --> 00:13:53.040
 we can

00:13:53.040 --> 00:13:53.440
 begin

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:53.800
 to

00:13:53.800 --> 00:13:54.519
 show

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:54.840
 this

00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:55.160
 love

00:13:55.160 --> 00:13:55.600
 to one

00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:55.940
 another

00:13:55.940 --> 00:13:56.800
 is to

00:13:56.800 --> 00:13:57.220
 get

00:13:57.220 --> 00:13:57.879
 alongside

00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:58.920
 people

00:13:58.920 --> 00:14:00.460
 and to

00:14:00.460 --> 00:14:00.840
 walk

00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:01.500
 with them

00:14:01.500 --> 00:14:02.139
 through

00:14:02.139 --> 00:14:02.460
 their

00:14:02.460 --> 00:14:03.080
 ups and

00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:03.420
 downs

00:14:03.420 --> 00:14:04.200
 in life

00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:04.700
 because

00:14:04.700 --> 00:14:05.220
 that is

00:14:05.220 --> 00:14:05.399
 the

00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:06.040
 experience

00:14:06.040 --> 00:14:06.540
 of life

00:14:06.540 --> 00:14:07.100
 it is

00:14:07.100 --> 00:14:07.480
 full of

00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:07.920
 ups and

00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:08.200
 downs

00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:08.800
 and so

00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:09.200
 we get

00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:09.639
 alongside

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:10.320
 each other

00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:10.680
 and we

00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:11.100
 support

00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:11.580
 each other

00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:12.280
 verse 12

00:14:12.280 --> 00:14:13.460
 be joyful

00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:15.300
 in hope

00:14:15.300 --> 00:14:17.060
 patient

00:14:17.060 --> 00:14:18.600
 in affliction

00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.100
 and faithful

00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:21.400
 in prayer

00:14:21.400 --> 00:14:23.620
 so let's

00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:24.139
 work this

00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:24.400
 through

00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:25.040
 if a

00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:25.540
 member of

00:14:25.540 --> 00:14:25.960
 the church

00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:26.480
 family

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.639
 that you

00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:27.960
 know

00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:28.700
 is facing

00:14:28.700 --> 00:14:29.220
 into a

00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:29.420
 tough

00:14:29.420 --> 00:14:30.259
 situation

00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:32.080
 where you

00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:32.440
 need to

00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:33.040
 get alongside

00:14:33.040 --> 00:14:33.460
 them

00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:34.139
 and remind

00:14:34.139 --> 00:14:34.580
 them

00:14:34.580 --> 00:14:35.379
 of the

00:14:35.379 --> 00:14:35.920
 hope

00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:36.700
 we have

00:14:36.700 --> 00:14:37.379
 in Christ

00:14:37.379 --> 00:14:38.220
 that he

00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:38.560
 is the

00:14:38.560 --> 00:14:38.860
 one who

00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:39.160
 is in

00:14:39.160 --> 00:14:39.740
 control

00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:40.120
 of our

00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:40.419
 life

00:14:40.419 --> 00:14:41.180
 situation

00:14:41.180 --> 00:14:42.000
 he is

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:42.379
 the one

00:14:42.379 --> 00:14:43.000
 who is

00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:43.659
 with us

00:14:43.659 --> 00:14:44.060
 and will

00:14:44.060 --> 00:14:44.320
 never

00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:44.799
 abandon

00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:45.039
 us

00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:45.620
 he is

00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:45.919
 the one

00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:46.220
 who will

00:14:46.220 --> 00:14:46.820
 bring us

00:14:46.820 --> 00:14:47.320
 safely

00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:48.139
 to his

00:14:48.139 --> 00:14:48.639
 eternal

00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:49.100
 kingdom

00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:49.980
 that is

00:14:49.980 --> 00:14:50.500
 the hope

00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:51.019
 that we

00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:51.560
 can share

00:14:51.560 --> 00:14:52.019
 with each

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:52.360
 other

00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:53.899
 or what

00:14:53.899 --> 00:14:54.440
 if somebody

00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:54.980
 within your

00:14:54.980 --> 00:14:55.700
 home group

00:14:55.700 --> 00:14:57.279

00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:58.019
 some kind

00:14:58.019 --> 00:14:58.539
 of trouble

00:14:58.539 --> 00:14:59.180
 at home

00:14:59.180 --> 00:14:59.899
 or at

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:17.979
 in affliction

00:15:17.979 --> 00:15:20.339
 and if

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.060
 them

00:15:42.060 --> 00:15:43.120
 in prayer

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.159
 now of

00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:46.600
 course that

00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:47.060
 might all

00:15:47.060 --> 00:15:47.700
 happen just

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:48.080
 on a

00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:48.340
 Sunday

00:15:48.340 --> 00:15:48.779
 morning

00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:49.420
 but we

00:15:49.420 --> 00:15:49.840
 know that

00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:50.500
 church isn't

00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:51.139
 just about a

00:15:51.139 --> 00:15:51.540
 couple of

00:15:51.540 --> 00:15:52.519
 hours like

00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:53.040
 today

00:15:53.040 --> 00:15:54.940
 church happens

00:15:54.940 --> 00:15:56.379
 24-7

00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:57.500
 throughout the

00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:58.000
 week so

00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:58.340
 look at

00:15:58.340 --> 00:15:59.220
 verse 13

00:15:59.220 --> 00:16:00.820
 share with

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:01.879
 God's people

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.920
 who are in

00:16:02.920 --> 00:16:03.420
 need

00:16:03.420 --> 00:16:04.180
 practice

00:16:04.180 --> 00:16:05.080
 hospitality

00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:06.360
 mercy

00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:06.840
 now I

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:07.320
 think it's

00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:07.860
 great that

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:08.320
 this is a

00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:09.139
 community of

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:10.000
 people where

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.879
 people share

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:11.560
 with those who

00:16:11.560 --> 00:16:12.060
 are in need

00:16:12.060 --> 00:16:13.020
 that's why we

00:16:13.020 --> 00:16:13.940
 have the

00:16:13.940 --> 00:16:14.639
 ministries of

00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.600
 mercy that's

00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:16.320
 why we have

00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:16.879
 the fellowship

00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:18.080
 fund that's

00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:18.840
 why people

00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:20.500
 give practically

00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:21.440
 by giving

00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:22.540
 finances to

00:16:22.540 --> 00:16:23.139
 share with

00:16:23.139 --> 00:16:23.660
 those who are

00:16:23.660 --> 00:16:24.120
 in need in

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:24.780
 all kinds of

00:16:24.780 --> 00:16:25.440
 situations

00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:27.840
 and I think

00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:28.620
 it's great the

00:16:28.620 --> 00:16:29.160
 way people

00:16:29.160 --> 00:16:29.960
 invite each

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:30.759
 other into

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.580
 their homes for

00:16:31.580 --> 00:16:32.300
 dinner and for

00:16:32.300 --> 00:16:33.020
 lunch and

00:16:33.020 --> 00:16:33.879
 arrange to meet

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:34.600
 up with people

00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:35.480
 that's what

00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:35.860
 it's all

00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:38.360
 about but

00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:38.700
 let me

00:16:38.700 --> 00:16:39.820
 challenge us a

00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:40.340
 little bit here

00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:41.000
 let me push

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:41.600
 it out a bit

00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:42.639
 more who

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:44.179
 are the kinds

00:16:44.179 --> 00:16:45.539
 of people we

00:16:45.539 --> 00:16:46.320
 invite to our

00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.659
 homes do we

00:16:49.659 --> 00:16:50.480
 just invite the

00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.500
 people like

00:16:51.500 --> 00:16:52.659
 like me as

00:16:52.659 --> 00:16:53.379
 in the kind

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:53.960
 of people that

00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:54.500
 I get on

00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:54.980
 with and I

00:16:54.980 --> 00:16:55.539
 kind of feel

00:16:55.539 --> 00:16:56.419
 comfortable with

00:16:56.419 --> 00:16:57.360
 and and we

00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:58.259
 we have the

00:16:58.259 --> 00:16:58.899
 same kind of

00:16:58.899 --> 00:16:59.440
 interests

00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.059
 why not ask

00:17:03.059 --> 00:17:03.860
 yourself who

00:17:03.860 --> 00:17:04.660
 have I never

00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:06.240
 invited to my

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:07.759
 home who

00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:08.259
 within the

00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:09.019
 church family

00:17:09.019 --> 00:17:09.799
 has never

00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:10.559
 stepped across

00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:11.740
 the doorway of

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:12.880
 my house and

00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:13.460
 why don't I

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.380
 invite them and

00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:15.019
 get to know

00:17:15.019 --> 00:17:15.740
 them and share

00:17:15.740 --> 00:17:16.640
 life with them

00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.940
 you see there

00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:21.420
 are no limits

00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:23.160
 to how we

00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:23.900
 might show our

00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:24.640
 love for each

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.440
 other and

00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:28.319
 isn't that how

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:29.299
 the Lord Jesus

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:30.880
 showed his love

00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.059
 towards us he

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:33.379
 never put a

00:17:33.379 --> 00:17:34.839
 limit on his

00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:35.759
 love for us

00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:36.839
 he never said

00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:37.759
 to us well I've

00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:38.639
 got this amount

00:17:38.639 --> 00:17:39.759
 of love and I'll

00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:40.399
 give you that

00:17:40.399 --> 00:17:42.159
 amount but it's

00:17:42.159 --> 00:17:42.859
 going to be no

00:17:42.859 --> 00:17:46.299
 more he continues

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:48.619
 to pour out his

00:17:48.619 --> 00:17:50.579
 love upon us to

00:17:50.579 --> 00:17:52.379
 awkward difficult

00:17:52.379 --> 00:17:54.359
 sinners like you

00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.159
 and me so that we

00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:58.040
 might show

00:17:58.040 --> 00:18:00.740
 limitless love to

00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:02.560
 one another within

00:18:02.560 --> 00:18:04.140
 the community of

00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:06.140
 the church so

00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:08.200
 first love has

00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.180
 no limits

00:18:10.180 --> 00:18:14.960
 second when the

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:15.640
 love of God

00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:16.860
 begins to take a

00:18:16.860 --> 00:18:17.420
 hold of our

00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:18.740
 hearts and begins

00:18:18.740 --> 00:18:19.759
 to shape us and

00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.580
 transform us

00:18:20.580 --> 00:18:21.580
 second we become a

00:18:21.580 --> 00:18:22.960
 community where

00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.060
 love crosses all

00:18:25.059 --> 00:18:27.019
 barriers look at

00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:29.619
 verse 14 here's

00:18:29.619 --> 00:18:30.500
 where it really

00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:32.639
 starts to get

00:18:32.639 --> 00:18:35.720
 down deep bless

00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:36.599
 those who

00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:37.859
 persecute you

00:18:37.859 --> 00:18:40.460
 bless and do

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:43.940
 not curse have

00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:44.399
 you ever been

00:18:44.399 --> 00:18:45.460
 wronged or hurt

00:18:45.460 --> 00:18:46.419
 by somebody within

00:18:46.419 --> 00:18:47.339
 the church family

00:18:47.339 --> 00:18:51.259
 what do you want

00:18:51.259 --> 00:18:52.659
 to do when that

00:18:52.660 --> 00:18:55.720
 happens well if

00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:56.420
 you're like me

00:18:56.420 --> 00:18:58.320
 you might want to

00:18:58.320 --> 00:18:59.060
 get your own back

00:18:59.060 --> 00:19:00.560
 on them you

00:19:00.560 --> 00:19:01.600
 wish bad things

00:19:01.600 --> 00:19:02.259
 will happen to

00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:03.480
 them that they'll

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:04.259
 suffer something

00:19:04.259 --> 00:19:05.140
 difficult in their

00:19:05.140 --> 00:19:06.180
 life maybe that

00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:06.860
 they'll trap their

00:19:06.860 --> 00:19:07.840
 fingers in the car

00:19:07.840 --> 00:19:09.320
 door ha ha ha

00:19:09.320 --> 00:19:11.779
 you want something

00:19:11.779 --> 00:19:12.940
 bad to happen

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:14.640
 but look what it

00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.560
 says bless and

00:19:18.560 --> 00:19:20.860
 do not curse in

00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:21.719
 in fact it goes

00:19:21.719 --> 00:19:22.639
 much further than

00:19:22.639 --> 00:19:23.139
 that look at

00:19:23.139 --> 00:19:23.839
 verse 15

00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:25.679
 rejoice with

00:19:25.679 --> 00:19:26.179
 those who

00:19:26.179 --> 00:19:27.779
 rejoice and

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:28.779
 mourn with

00:19:28.779 --> 00:19:29.679
 those who

00:19:29.679 --> 00:19:31.699
 mourn now

00:19:31.699 --> 00:19:32.699
 it's easy isn't

00:19:32.699 --> 00:19:33.479
 it to rejoice

00:19:33.479 --> 00:19:34.599
 with people who

00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:35.299
 we get on with

00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:36.119
 people who we

00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:36.759
 love to be

00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:37.679
 around we can

00:19:37.679 --> 00:19:38.399
 rejoice with

00:19:38.399 --> 00:19:39.259
 them no problem

00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:40.779
 and it's easy to

00:19:40.779 --> 00:19:41.719
 mourn with those

00:19:41.719 --> 00:19:42.579
 who have shown

00:19:42.579 --> 00:19:43.539
 comfort and

00:19:43.539 --> 00:19:44.479
 kindness to us

00:19:44.479 --> 00:19:45.199
 in our trouble

00:19:45.199 --> 00:19:47.399
 but this is

00:19:47.399 --> 00:19:48.159
 telling us to

00:19:48.159 --> 00:19:48.839
 get alongside

00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:49.839
 those who have

00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.119
 wronged us and

00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:53.439
 offended us

00:19:53.439 --> 00:19:55.639
 other people

00:19:55.639 --> 00:19:56.379
 might put up

00:19:56.379 --> 00:19:58.519
 barriers but

00:19:58.519 --> 00:19:59.559
 as people of

00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:00.819
 love we're going

00:20:00.819 --> 00:20:01.939
 to cross those

00:20:01.939 --> 00:20:03.159
 barriers we're

00:20:03.159 --> 00:20:04.019
 going to break

00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:04.939
 down walls of

00:20:04.939 --> 00:20:06.259
 hostility and

00:20:06.259 --> 00:20:07.039
 we're going to

00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:08.220
 share in their

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:10.699
 happiness and

00:20:10.699 --> 00:20:11.359
 we're going to

00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.559
 grieve with them

00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:13.740
 in their sadness

00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:18.319
 bless and do

00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.200
 not curse and

00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:21.939
 instead of

00:20:21.939 --> 00:20:23.799
 hostility look

00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:24.720
 at verse 16

00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:26.299
 live in

00:20:26.299 --> 00:20:28.279
 harmony with

00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:28.939
 one another

00:20:28.939 --> 00:20:31.980
 don't let

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:33.000
 the past

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.639
 and don't

00:20:34.639 --> 00:20:35.399
 let what has

00:20:35.399 --> 00:20:36.439
 happened before

00:20:36.439 --> 00:20:38.319
 control how

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:39.399
 you live today

00:20:39.399 --> 00:20:40.399
 and how you

00:20:40.399 --> 00:20:41.179
 view each

00:20:41.179 --> 00:20:41.839
 other today

00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:42.779
 live in

00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:44.119
 harmony with

00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:44.779
 one another

00:20:44.779 --> 00:20:46.679
 how do we do

00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:47.600
 that well look

00:20:47.600 --> 00:20:48.160
 at the rest of

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:48.860
 verse 16

00:20:48.860 --> 00:20:50.420
 do not be

00:20:50.420 --> 00:20:52.860
 proud but be

00:20:52.860 --> 00:20:53.600
 willing to

00:20:53.600 --> 00:20:54.900
 associate people

00:20:54.900 --> 00:20:56.259
 of low position

00:20:56.259 --> 00:20:57.519
 or be willing

00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:59.320
 to serve people

00:20:59.320 --> 00:21:00.120
 in all kinds

00:21:00.120 --> 00:21:01.220
 of ways do

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:02.000
 not be

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:03.500
 conceited

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:05.720
 now this is

00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:06.820
 very similar to

00:21:06.820 --> 00:21:07.420
 what he's been

00:21:07.420 --> 00:21:08.160
 saying to us

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:09.080
 back in verse

00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:10.740
 3 look in

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:11.299
 verse 3

00:21:11.299 --> 00:21:11.700
 again

00:21:11.700 --> 00:21:14.039
 chapter 12

00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:14.759
 verse 3

00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:16.500
 he says

00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:17.000
 for by the

00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:17.500
 grace given

00:21:17.500 --> 00:21:18.019
 me I say

00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:18.420
 to every

00:21:18.420 --> 00:21:18.799
 one of

00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:19.039
 you

00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:21.180
 do not

00:21:21.180 --> 00:21:21.700
 think of

00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:22.660
 yourself more

00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:23.359
 highly than

00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:24.059
 you ought

00:21:24.059 --> 00:21:25.920
 but rather

00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:26.579
 think of

00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:27.839
 yourself with

00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:28.359
 sober

00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:29.200
 judgment

00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.660
 so don't

00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:32.359
 see yourself

00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:33.660
 as inferior

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:34.680
 to anybody

00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:35.140
 else

00:21:35.140 --> 00:21:36.019
 don't see

00:21:36.019 --> 00:21:36.759
 yourself as

00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:37.599
 superior

00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:38.660
 rather he

00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:39.200
 says look

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:39.720
 at yourself

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.559
 with verse

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:41.039
 3 with

00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:42.160
 sober judgment

00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:43.640
 in accordance

00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:44.340
 with the

00:21:44.340 --> 00:21:45.180
 measure of

00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:46.180
 faith that

00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:46.759
 God has

00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:47.740
 given to

00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:48.120
 you

00:21:48.120 --> 00:21:49.580
 see yourself

00:21:49.580 --> 00:21:50.120
 look at

00:21:50.120 --> 00:21:50.640
 yourself

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:52.060
 through the

00:21:52.060 --> 00:21:52.560
 eyes of

00:21:52.560 --> 00:21:53.180
 the gospel

00:21:53.180 --> 00:21:54.779
 see yourself

00:21:54.779 --> 00:21:55.300
 as somebody

00:21:55.300 --> 00:21:55.700
 who has

00:21:55.700 --> 00:21:56.900
 received the

00:21:56.900 --> 00:21:57.900
 rich mercy

00:21:57.900 --> 00:21:58.540
 of God

00:21:58.540 --> 00:21:59.440
 the one who

00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:00.019
 has come to

00:22:00.019 --> 00:22:00.920
 die for you

00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:01.980
 who loves you

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:02.759
 and has welcomed

00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:03.600
 you into his

00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:04.900
 family and when

00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:05.800
 we begin to see

00:22:05.800 --> 00:22:06.460
 ourselves through

00:22:06.460 --> 00:22:07.040
 that light

00:22:07.040 --> 00:22:08.100
 that means we

00:22:08.100 --> 00:22:08.800
 will begin to

00:22:08.800 --> 00:22:09.620
 view each

00:22:09.620 --> 00:22:11.220
 other correctly

00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:12.620
 we won't

00:22:12.620 --> 00:22:13.299
 start looking

00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:13.779
 at each

00:22:13.779 --> 00:22:14.500
 other according

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:15.120
 to what has

00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:15.680
 happened in

00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:16.400
 the past

00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:18.120
 we'll no longer

00:22:18.120 --> 00:22:18.720
 look at that

00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:19.539
 person who has

00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:20.420
 offended us and

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:22.279
 who spoke unkindly

00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:22.799
 to us and

00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:23.819
 think don't want

00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:24.500
 anything to do

00:22:24.500 --> 00:22:25.000
 with you

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.420
 we'll no longer

00:22:26.420 --> 00:22:27.160
 look at people

00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:27.759
 who've caused

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:28.279
 us hurt and

00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:28.880
 pain and go

00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:30.600
 wish you

00:22:30.600 --> 00:22:31.360
 weren't here

00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:33.140
 instead we

00:22:33.140 --> 00:22:33.799
 will see

00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:34.339
 people

00:22:34.339 --> 00:22:35.380
 will see

00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:35.960
 one another

00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:36.440
 as those

00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:37.380
 who've received

00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:37.980
 mercy

00:22:37.980 --> 00:22:39.360
 just as I

00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:40.120
 have received

00:22:40.120 --> 00:22:40.620
 mercy

00:22:40.619 --> 00:22:41.619
 mercy

00:22:41.619 --> 00:22:42.219
 you see if

00:22:42.219 --> 00:22:42.519
 we are

00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:43.399
 Christians who

00:22:43.399 --> 00:22:44.000
 bring brought

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:44.500
 into the

00:22:44.500 --> 00:22:45.879
 community we

00:22:45.879 --> 00:22:46.719
 don't build up

00:22:46.719 --> 00:22:48.179
 barriers we

00:22:48.179 --> 00:22:49.099
 build bridges

00:22:49.099 --> 00:22:50.979
 we no longer

00:22:50.979 --> 00:22:52.119
 view people as

00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:52.859
 being on the

00:22:52.859 --> 00:22:53.859
 other side and

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:54.699
 and to be

00:22:54.699 --> 00:22:56.219
 ignored no we

00:22:56.219 --> 00:22:57.379
 cross every

00:22:57.379 --> 00:22:58.599
 barrier possible

00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:00.039
 and we reach out

00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:01.199
 in love to

00:23:01.199 --> 00:23:01.779
 one another

00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:04.599
 and that's what

00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:05.459
 Christ has done

00:23:05.459 --> 00:23:07.139
 for us he has

00:23:07.139 --> 00:23:08.439
 crossed over the

00:23:08.439 --> 00:23:09.379
 barriers that we

00:23:09.379 --> 00:23:10.219
 have built up with

00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:11.539
 our sin he has

00:23:11.539 --> 00:23:12.740
 built a bridge by

00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:13.600
 his death on the

00:23:13.600 --> 00:23:14.680
 cross and in

00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:15.960
 love he came to

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:16.799
 reach out to us

00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:18.000
 to save us and

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:18.960
 to treat us as

00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:20.000
 one of the

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:21.799
 family so that

00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:23.180
 we will reach out

00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:23.860
 across the

00:23:23.860 --> 00:23:25.339
 barriers and

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:26.120
 build bridges

00:23:26.120 --> 00:23:27.500
 into people's

00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:28.039
 lives

00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:30.680
 love crosses

00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.200
 all barriers

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.700
 others and

00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:37.220
 third

00:23:37.220 --> 00:23:37.240
 and third

00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.480
 once the gospel

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:41.440
 gets a hold of

00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:42.120
 our heart and

00:23:42.120 --> 00:23:43.100
 changes us and

00:23:43.100 --> 00:23:44.220
 we we get to

00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:45.140
 understand what

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:46.140
 God has done for

00:23:46.140 --> 00:23:47.240
 us it will

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:48.580
 change us into a

00:23:48.580 --> 00:23:49.779
 community of love

00:23:49.779 --> 00:23:51.500
 that does not

00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:52.000
 seek

00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:53.640
 revenge

00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:56.320
 look at verse 17

00:23:56.320 --> 00:23:58.759
 do not repay

00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:00.160
 anyone evil

00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:01.620
 for evil

00:24:01.620 --> 00:24:04.740
 now the most

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:05.880
 natural reaction

00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:08.220
 when we experience

00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:09.640
 evil against us

00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:11.380
 whether it is

00:24:11.380 --> 00:24:12.020
 somebody who

00:24:12.020 --> 00:24:12.840
 slanders our

00:24:12.840 --> 00:24:14.160
 character or

00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:15.320
 causes us some

00:24:15.320 --> 00:24:16.280
 kind of harm

00:24:16.280 --> 00:24:17.660
 we just want to

00:24:17.660 --> 00:24:18.600
 repay them we

00:24:18.600 --> 00:24:19.500
 want to get back

00:24:19.500 --> 00:24:20.320
 at them but

00:24:20.320 --> 00:24:21.440
 rather than repay

00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:22.120
 look at the rest

00:24:22.120 --> 00:24:22.980
 of verse 17

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:24.480
 be careful to

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:25.220
 do what is

00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:26.420
 right in the

00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:27.000
 eyes of

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:27.860
 everybody

00:24:27.860 --> 00:24:30.600
 be careful to

00:24:30.600 --> 00:24:31.100
 do what is

00:24:31.100 --> 00:24:31.759
 right in the

00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:32.200
 eyes of

00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:32.660
 everybody

00:24:32.660 --> 00:24:33.900
 so when you

00:24:33.900 --> 00:24:35.259
 experience evil

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:36.080
 against you

00:24:36.080 --> 00:24:38.460
 so for example

00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:39.320
 if your colleague

00:24:39.320 --> 00:24:40.200
 at work turns

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:41.299
 against you and

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:42.059
 starts talking

00:24:42.059 --> 00:24:42.720
 behind your

00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:44.340
 back or if

00:24:44.340 --> 00:24:45.140
 you become the

00:24:45.140 --> 00:24:45.799
 victim of an

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.120
 injustice or if

00:24:48.120 --> 00:24:49.140
 your family member

00:24:49.140 --> 00:24:50.080
 causes you some

00:24:50.080 --> 00:24:51.120
 kind of hurt or

00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:52.119
 pain or your

00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:52.899
 neighbours or

00:24:52.899 --> 00:24:53.799
 somebody around

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:54.839
 you is being

00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:55.879
 mean to you

00:24:55.879 --> 00:24:58.299
 at that moment

00:24:58.299 --> 00:24:59.679
 the next move

00:24:59.679 --> 00:25:00.379
 is yours

00:25:00.379 --> 00:25:01.599
 the ball is in

00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:02.299
 your court

00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:03.019
 how are you

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:03.939
 going to respond

00:25:03.939 --> 00:25:04.899
 how am I going

00:25:04.899 --> 00:25:05.659
 to respond to

00:25:05.659 --> 00:25:06.359
 that person

00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:07.599
 well we can

00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:08.419
 continue the

00:25:08.419 --> 00:25:09.399
 cycle of evil

00:25:09.399 --> 00:25:11.219
 or look at

00:25:11.219 --> 00:25:11.959
 verse 18

00:25:11.959 --> 00:25:14.679
 if it is

00:25:14.679 --> 00:25:16.359
 possible as

00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:17.239
 far as it

00:25:17.239 --> 00:25:18.039
 depends on

00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:19.899
 you live at

00:25:19.900 --> 00:25:21.680
 peace with

00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:22.480
 everyone

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.120
 in other words

00:25:25.120 --> 00:25:26.080
 you and I

00:25:26.080 --> 00:25:26.900
 can't stop

00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:27.860
 evil happening

00:25:27.860 --> 00:25:28.660
 to us

00:25:28.660 --> 00:25:29.700
 we can't

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:30.280
 stop the

00:25:30.280 --> 00:25:30.800
 things that

00:25:30.800 --> 00:25:31.580
 come to us

00:25:31.580 --> 00:25:32.420
 in our

00:25:32.420 --> 00:25:33.040
 lives

00:25:33.040 --> 00:25:35.860
 but we

00:25:35.860 --> 00:25:36.880
 can be

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:37.980
 responsible for

00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:38.500
 how we are

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:38.940
 going to

00:25:38.940 --> 00:25:40.620
 respond to

00:25:40.620 --> 00:25:41.140
 what people

00:25:41.140 --> 00:25:41.540
 do

00:25:41.540 --> 00:25:43.680
 so look at

00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:44.480
 verse 19

00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.579
 do not

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:47.559
 take revenge

00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:48.400
 my friends

00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:50.539
 but leave

00:25:50.539 --> 00:25:51.140
 room for

00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:52.019
 God's wrath

00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:52.720
 for it is

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:53.079
 written

00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:54.900
 it is mine

00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:55.819
 to avenge

00:25:55.819 --> 00:25:57.000
 I will

00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:57.480
 repay

00:25:57.480 --> 00:25:58.599
 says the

00:25:58.599 --> 00:25:58.900
 Lord

00:25:58.900 --> 00:26:01.099
 you see

00:26:01.099 --> 00:26:01.599
 if you and

00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:02.319
 I try to

00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:03.059
 be the ones

00:26:03.059 --> 00:26:04.180
 who take

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:04.860
 revenge

00:26:04.860 --> 00:26:06.799
 we are

00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:07.460
 simply trying

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:07.819
 to do

00:26:07.819 --> 00:26:08.680
 God's job

00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:11.180
 if we act

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:11.700
 as if we

00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:11.980
 are the

00:26:11.980 --> 00:26:12.440
 judge

00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:15.600
 then we

00:26:15.600 --> 00:26:15.980
 are trying

00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:16.340
 to do

00:26:16.340 --> 00:26:16.880
 what God

00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:17.220
 does

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:17.680
 and if we

00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:18.259
 try to do

00:26:18.259 --> 00:26:18.759
 what God

00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:19.019
 does

00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:19.240
 we will

00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:19.600
 just get

00:26:19.600 --> 00:26:20.039
 it wrong

00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:21.000
 it won't

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.519
 be fair

00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:21.960
 it won't

00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:22.440
 be just

00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:22.960
 it will

00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:23.340
 be a

00:26:23.340 --> 00:26:23.700
 mess

00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:24.420
 all it

00:26:24.420 --> 00:26:24.940
 will become

00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:25.299
 will be

00:26:25.299 --> 00:26:25.840
 our little

00:26:25.840 --> 00:26:26.400
 selfish

00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:27.039
 desires

00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:27.980
 trying to

00:26:27.980 --> 00:26:28.460
 hurt the

00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:29.200
 other person

00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:29.900
 and trying

00:26:29.900 --> 00:26:30.220
 to get

00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:30.660
 back at

00:26:30.660 --> 00:26:30.880
 them

00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.380
 now of

00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:33.779
 course that

00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:34.240
 doesn't mean

00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:34.880
 we ignore

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:35.519
 injustice

00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:36.039
 we will see

00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:36.640
 this next

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:37.100
 week in

00:26:37.100 --> 00:26:37.960
 chapter 13

00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:38.840
 where God

00:26:38.840 --> 00:26:39.480
 has established

00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:40.240
 authorities

00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:41.079
 and governments

00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:41.860
 to deal

00:26:41.860 --> 00:26:42.140
 with

00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:43.019
 injustice

00:26:43.019 --> 00:26:43.620
 and that's

00:26:43.620 --> 00:26:44.200
 important

00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:45.380
 but the

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:46.360
 point remains

00:26:46.360 --> 00:26:46.980
 here

00:26:46.980 --> 00:26:47.680
 we are to

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.220
 people who

00:26:48.220 --> 00:26:48.779
 do not

00:26:48.779 --> 00:26:49.220
 seek

00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:50.000
 revenge

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:51.279
 or repay

00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:51.860
 evil

00:26:51.860 --> 00:26:52.600
 for evil

00:26:52.600 --> 00:26:53.140
 instead

00:26:53.140 --> 00:26:53.680
 look at

00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:54.380
 verse 20

00:26:54.380 --> 00:26:57.299
 do you see

00:26:57.299 --> 00:26:57.840
 what it says

00:26:57.840 --> 00:26:58.279
 on the

00:26:58.279 --> 00:26:58.799
 contrary

00:26:58.799 --> 00:26:59.740
 if your

00:26:59.740 --> 00:27:00.460
 enemy is

00:27:00.460 --> 00:27:00.940
 hungry

00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:02.140
 feed him

00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:03.380
 if he is

00:27:03.380 --> 00:27:03.940
 thirsty

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:05.240
 give him

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:05.900
 something to

00:27:05.900 --> 00:27:06.380
 drink

00:27:06.380 --> 00:27:08.500
 you see

00:27:08.500 --> 00:27:09.400
 it's not

00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:10.000
 just enough

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.560
 to ignore

00:27:10.560 --> 00:27:11.260
 the person

00:27:11.260 --> 00:27:12.220
 who has

00:27:12.220 --> 00:27:12.680
 been mean

00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:13.280
 to us

00:27:13.280 --> 00:27:14.240
 or who

00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:14.720
 has hurt

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:15.140
 us

00:27:15.140 --> 00:27:16.280
 we don't

00:27:16.280 --> 00:27:16.880
 just ignore

00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:17.240
 them and

00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:17.540
 pretend

00:27:17.540 --> 00:27:17.760
 they are

00:27:17.760 --> 00:27:18.260
 not there

00:27:18.260 --> 00:27:19.180
 it's saying

00:27:19.180 --> 00:27:19.600
 we must

00:27:19.600 --> 00:27:20.320
 respond in

00:27:20.320 --> 00:27:20.780
 a particular

00:27:20.780 --> 00:27:21.160
 way

00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:22.100
 we step

00:27:22.100 --> 00:27:22.540
 out in

00:27:22.540 --> 00:27:22.940
 love

00:27:22.940 --> 00:27:23.300
 and we

00:27:23.300 --> 00:27:23.580
 seek

00:27:23.580 --> 00:27:23.800
 their

00:27:23.800 --> 00:27:24.220
 best

00:27:24.220 --> 00:27:27.300
 so if

00:27:27.300 --> 00:27:27.480
 your

00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:27.860
 colleague

00:27:27.860 --> 00:27:28.380
 at work

00:27:28.380 --> 00:27:28.800
 is giving

00:27:28.800 --> 00:27:29.200
 you a

00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:29.400
 rough

00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:29.900
 time

00:27:29.900 --> 00:27:30.900
 the next

00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:31.200
 time

00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:31.560
 when you are

00:27:31.560 --> 00:27:32.140
 out together

00:27:32.140 --> 00:27:32.680
 as a group

00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:33.160
 at lunch

00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:33.480
 time

00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:34.240
 why don't

00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:34.680
 you offer

00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:35.019
 to buy

00:27:35.019 --> 00:27:35.380
 lunch

00:27:35.380 --> 00:27:35.779
 for them

00:27:35.779 --> 00:27:36.539
 or buy

00:27:36.539 --> 00:27:37.000
 coffee

00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:37.500
 for them

00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:39.400
 treat them

00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:39.960
 differently

00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:40.420
 to how

00:27:40.420 --> 00:27:40.819
 they have

00:27:40.819 --> 00:27:41.120
 treated

00:27:41.120 --> 00:27:41.559
 you

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:43.360
 or if

00:27:43.360 --> 00:27:43.860
 your friends

00:27:43.860 --> 00:27:44.460
 are posting

00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:45.299
 horrible things

00:27:45.299 --> 00:27:45.799
 about you

00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:46.599
 on Facebook

00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:48.200
 don't respond

00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:48.740
 with a whole

00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:49.420
 series of

00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:50.420
 other notes

00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:50.960
 about how

00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:51.539
 horrible they

00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:51.759
 are

00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:53.180
 rather write

00:27:53.180 --> 00:27:53.920
 good things

00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:54.539
 and kind

00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:55.200
 things about

00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:55.660
 them

00:27:55.660 --> 00:27:57.740
 or if

00:27:57.740 --> 00:27:58.059
 somebody

00:27:58.059 --> 00:27:58.599
 within your

00:27:58.599 --> 00:27:59.279
 family is

00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:00.339
 being nasty

00:28:00.339 --> 00:28:00.880
 if something

00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:01.360
 is going

00:28:01.360 --> 00:28:01.900
 wrong

00:28:01.900 --> 00:28:03.040
 respond

00:28:03.040 --> 00:28:03.860
 by acts

00:28:03.860 --> 00:28:04.840
 of kindness

00:28:04.840 --> 00:28:06.040
 and service

00:28:06.040 --> 00:28:07.060
 do not

00:28:07.060 --> 00:28:07.940
 treat them

00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:08.560
 the way

00:28:08.560 --> 00:28:08.960
 they have

00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:09.320
 treated

00:28:09.320 --> 00:28:09.840
 you

00:28:09.840 --> 00:28:12.620
 look at

00:28:12.620 --> 00:28:12.940
 the end

00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:13.259
 of verse

00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:13.780
 20

00:28:13.780 --> 00:28:14.920
 in doing

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:15.540
 this

00:28:15.540 --> 00:28:17.759
 you will

00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:18.140
 heap

00:28:18.140 --> 00:28:18.740
 burning

00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:19.460
 coals

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:20.540
 on their

00:28:20.540 --> 00:28:21.080
 head

00:28:21.080 --> 00:28:22.660
 now this

00:28:22.660 --> 00:28:23.580
 isn't kind

00:28:23.580 --> 00:28:24.100
 of a nice

00:28:24.100 --> 00:28:24.740
 Christian way

00:28:24.740 --> 00:28:25.100
 to kind

00:28:25.100 --> 00:28:25.340
 of get

00:28:25.340 --> 00:28:25.640
 your own

00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:26.140
 back on

00:28:26.140 --> 00:28:26.420
 them

00:28:26.420 --> 00:28:27.540
 no

00:28:27.540 --> 00:28:27.960
 what it

00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:28.380
 is saying

00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:28.940
 here is

00:28:28.940 --> 00:28:29.160
 that

00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:30.320
 if you

00:28:30.320 --> 00:28:31.019
 begin to

00:28:31.019 --> 00:28:31.320
 love

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:31.679
 other

00:28:31.679 --> 00:28:32.139
 people

00:28:32.139 --> 00:28:32.720
 well

00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:34.279
 they

00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:34.539
 will

00:28:34.539 --> 00:28:34.779
 then

00:28:34.779 --> 00:28:35.099
 begin

00:28:35.099 --> 00:28:35.379
 to

00:28:35.379 --> 00:28:35.839
 see

 came

00:31:51.080 --> 00:31:51.400
 down

00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:56.640
 even

00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:56.940
 when

00:31:56.940 --> 00:31:57.100
 we

00:31:57.100 --> 00:31:57.279
 were

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:57.640
 sinners

 and

 for

00:31:59.660 --> 00:31:59.820
 us

00:31:59.820 --> 00:32:00.120
 he

00:32:00.120 --> 00:32:00.500
 lost

00:32:00.500 --> 00:32:00.740
 his

00:32:00.740 --> 00:32:01.060
 life

00:32:01.060 --> 00:32:01.300
 so

00:32:01.300 --> 00:32:01.500
 that

00:32:01.500 --> 00:32:01.820
 we

 could

00:32:02.060 --> 00:32:02.320
 have

00:32:02.320 --> 00:32:02.740
 life

00:32:02.740 --> 00:32:05.540
 and

00:32:05.540 --> 00:32:05.860
 look

00:32:05.860 --> 00:32:06.160
 back

00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:06.320
 at

 his

00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:06.820
 love

00:32:06.820 --> 00:32:07.040
 for

00:32:07.040 --> 00:32:07.240
 us

00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:07.420
 that

00:32:07.420 --> 00:32:07.820
 never

00:32:07.820 --> 00:32:08.260
 seeks

00:32:08.260 --> 00:32:09.020
 revenge

00:32:09.020 --> 00:32:10.520
 he's

00:32:10.520 --> 00:32:10.900
 never

00:32:10.900 --> 00:32:11.680
 trying

 pay

00:32:12.300 --> 00:32:12.500
 us

00:32:12.500 --> 00:32:12.920
 back

00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:13.440
 because

00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:13.680
 he

00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:14.020
 looks

00:32:14.020 --> 00:32:14.220
 at

00:32:14.220 --> 00:32:14.720
 Christ

00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:15.160
 that

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:15.680
 Christ

00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:15.920
 has

00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:16.440
 absorbed

00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:16.680
 it

00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:16.960
 all

00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:17.240
 for

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:17.540
 us
