00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.379
 Starting together now to the letter to Hebrews and chapter number 6 and we can read at the beginning of that chapter.

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:11.060
! Hebrews chapter 6 at verse 1.

00:00:13.179 --> 00:00:29.980
 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith towards God and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and eternal life.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.200
 And this we will do if God permits.

00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:42.179
 And so on through the following verses and also taking into account the verses at the end of chapter number 5.

00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:51.060
 I guess in every area of life there are times when we can be discouraged.

00:00:51.620 --> 00:00:53.700
 There are times when we can be distracted.

00:00:53.700 --> 00:01:02.640
 There are times when we can be disappointed and never become disengaged from everything that is happening around us.

00:01:03.219 --> 00:01:07.060
 And I'm sure at different times in life we have experienced that.

00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:15.579
 When we think of the life of faith and read of the life of faith in the Bible, we see exactly the same thing.

00:01:15.579 --> 00:01:21.400
 Faith belongs to those who are the children of God.

00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:27.959
 They believe that he exists and that he is the rewarder of all those who diligently seek him.

00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.900
 And even in this letter itself we see that there can be discouragement.

00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:37.300
 We see that there can be distraction and disappointment.

00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:45.920
 And we can see that there is the danger of becoming completely disconnected from the gospel itself.

00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:49.820
 That's the nature of life for this people.

00:01:49.819 --> 00:01:55.439
 And it is the nature of life as we live as the children of God here in this world.

00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:07.519
 And as we do read through this letter, we recognize first of all that there is the kind of crisis that Scott McLeod referred to this morning.

00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:12.240
 There is a crisis in the hearing and the listening of the people.

00:02:12.979 --> 00:02:17.419
 And where there is such a crisis, then faith is really threatened.

00:02:17.419 --> 00:02:29.219
 There is a crisis in the way that they want to worship God.

00:02:30.339 --> 00:02:37.639
 They are wanting to fall back from the worship that is now in place through what Jesus Christ has done.

00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:40.899
 They want to fall back into old habits.

00:02:41.959 --> 00:02:43.839
 Does that remind you of yourself?

00:02:44.139 --> 00:02:45.739
 Does that remind me of myself?

00:02:45.740 --> 00:02:52.680
 We are prone to fall back into old habits and to lose sight of where we are and what we are doing.

00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.320
 And then that is the kind of thing that leads to the crisis of faith.

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:05.360
 And there are two things that the writer does in order to address these crises.

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:16.320
 And first of all, he wants to show to them the importance of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and his redeeming work.

00:03:16.980 --> 00:03:18.980
 That is what he is doing up until this point.

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:25.380
 We are kind of stepping into this whole discourse about who Jesus is and what he has done.

00:03:25.379 --> 00:03:34.620
 Then he goes on to describe faith and how faith works in that great chapter about faith, chapter number 11.

00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:45.640
 But time after time, he throws in a wake-up call to those to whom he is writing.

00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:53.580
 These are warning passages that speak to those who are going to hear this letter read

00:03:53.580 --> 00:04:00.360
 so that they will pay attention to what he is saying about Jesus, pay attention to what he is saying about faith,

00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:03.160
 and be on their guard.

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:05.560
 A wake-up call.

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.800
 And sometimes I know that is what I need.

00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:12.360
 And I think it is true of all of us at different times in life.

00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:17.540
 We need a wake-up call from God to remind us of what is important,

00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:26.060
 and when we become distracted, to realign our lives with where we should be and what we should be doing.

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.660
 And against that, back in this evening, I want to think of this passage

00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:36.980
 and to think of the assessment of faith and spiritual immaturity.

00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:43.600
 I want to think, first of all, that we have in this passage a review.

00:04:44.420 --> 00:04:51.420
 That is, there is a formal assessment by the writer with a view to bring about change.

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:53.500
 It happens in my workplace.

00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.319
 It happens in my school life.

00:04:55.700 --> 00:04:57.680
 It happens in education circles.

00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.660
 A review is the kind of assessment that is necessary from time to time

00:05:02.660 --> 00:05:06.040
 to introduce change where it is necessary.

00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:09.520
 And when we look at review in this passage,

00:05:09.660 --> 00:05:15.620
 we see that the writer has to interrupt his discourse about the Lord Jesus

00:05:15.620 --> 00:05:19.160
 because of what he discovers in his review.

00:05:20.860 --> 00:05:25.560
 And we go back to verse number 11 in chapter 5.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.660
 About this time we are much to say,

00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.920
 and it is hard to explain since you have become dull of hearing.

00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:34.680
 He is telling them about the Lord Jesus.

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.259
 He is telling them about the work that he has done.

00:05:37.699 --> 00:05:41.259
 He is telling them about this great high priest of God

00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:44.300
 who is our redeemer, who is our mediator.

00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.519
 Then he pauses because he is thinking of them.

00:05:49.699 --> 00:05:53.139
 And he is realizing, as he is writing this letter to them,

00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:56.360
 he is realizing that there is a problem.

00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.079
 There is a problem with his hearers.

00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:04.919
 And we could say that it is the problem of attitude.

00:06:06.339 --> 00:06:08.279
 In any kind of learning circle,

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.439
 my progression in my learning depends on my attitude,

00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.259
 my mindset, the feelings that I have,

00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:21.199
 and the way I think of events and things that are brought before me.

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.420
 It is exactly the same in our faith.

00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:29.979
 We need to have the right attitude in order to develop in our faith.

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.899
 And if we do not have that, then we will stall,

00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:34.219
 we will stop where we are.

00:06:34.659 --> 00:06:38.719
 And instead of climbing upwards or even going horizontal,

00:06:39.219 --> 00:06:41.099
 we will begin to decline.

00:06:42.579 --> 00:06:45.279
 Attitude is really important.

00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:51.239
 And we find here that he is unable to carry on with this great message

00:06:51.239 --> 00:06:54.500
 about the Lord Jesus because of this problem.

00:06:55.719 --> 00:07:00.259
 They have become dull of hearing.

00:07:02.939 --> 00:07:07.539
 It is a kind of incapacity in receiving the message of God

00:07:07.539 --> 00:07:10.679
 and an incapacity, a sluggishness,

00:07:11.059 --> 00:07:13.199
 in putting the word of God into practice.

00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.859
 They are not hearing the way that they should

00:07:17.859 --> 00:07:19.879
 and they are not putting into practice.

00:07:21.459 --> 00:07:23.759
 They are not breathing in the word of God

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.639
 that is written to them, that is spoken to them.

00:07:26.899 --> 00:07:30.399
 They are not breathing it in to take it into their own lives.

00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.759
 And they are not breathing it out in the sense of

00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.479
 living out the faith as they should.

00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.479
 It is a real crisis.

00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:42.379
 They are not receiving the gospel as they should.

00:07:43.119 --> 00:07:44.559
 And because of that,

00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:50.500
 they have become exhausted in the life of faith.

00:07:51.719 --> 00:07:54.599
 They are beginning to grind to a halt.

00:07:56.099 --> 00:07:57.879
 It's too much for them.

00:07:59.339 --> 00:08:01.359
 That's what happens to your faith and mine.

00:08:01.739 --> 00:08:04.079
 Once I stop receiving from God

00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:08.599
 and once I stop living the kind of life that that produces,

00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.420
 once that stops,

00:08:10.420 --> 00:08:14.600
 then faith becomes all about what I can do myself.

00:08:15.700 --> 00:08:18.300
 And when it becomes what I can do myself,

00:08:18.540 --> 00:08:21.160
 then I realize I can do very little.

00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.680
 And then I begin to stall and I begin to stop.

00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:29.020
 That is where they were.

00:08:29.019 --> 00:08:32.379
 And the simple reason for that,

00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:34.699
 it seems to be from what the writer is saying,

00:08:35.079 --> 00:08:39.340
 the simple reason for that is their lack of discipline.

00:08:40.740 --> 00:08:43.139
 Being able to train themselves.

00:08:44.079 --> 00:08:48.039
 And that's what he refers to in verse 14 of chapter 5.

00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.620
 But solid food is for the mature,

00:08:51.199 --> 00:08:53.059
 for those who have their powers of discernment,

00:08:53.439 --> 00:08:58.860
 trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.279
 Their powers of discernment,

00:09:04.259 --> 00:09:07.000
 the way they're going to receive knowledge

00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:08.599
 and use that knowledge in their lives,

00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.940
 they have lost the ability to do so.

00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.700
 And they have lost that because of their failure

00:09:15.700 --> 00:09:17.320
 to train themselves,

00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:18.800
 to discipline themselves

00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:20.480
 in the ways of God,

00:09:20.540 --> 00:09:21.540
 in the things of God,

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:24.440
 and in the Word of God.

00:09:26.340 --> 00:09:28.220
 And the writer is using an image

00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:31.820
 that comes from the Greek athletic scene

00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:36.200
 where the athlete would not only discipline

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:37.399
 and training themselves,

00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.439
 but would discipline themselves

00:09:39.439 --> 00:09:41.600
 in removing all of the clothing

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.199
 that was going to stand in their way

00:09:43.199 --> 00:09:45.259
 so that they could compete

00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:46.980
 with all of their energy.

00:09:47.579 --> 00:09:49.679
 Nothing was going to stand in their way.

00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.500
 And the writer brings up

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:55.059
 something similar to that in chapter number 2.

00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.319
 Laying aside every weight

00:09:57.319 --> 00:09:59.899
 and the sin that so easily besets us.

00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:01.519
 Here we are.

00:10:01.939 --> 00:10:05.220
 We build up baggage along the journey of faith.

00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:08.600
 We build up things that slow us down.

00:10:09.800 --> 00:10:12.120
 We build on perhaps clothing, garments,

00:10:12.220 --> 00:10:14.740
 the garments of the world in a symbolic way.

00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.040
 And we begin to lose our way

00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:18.139
 in the life of faith.

00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.560
 We have lost our discipline.

00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.619
 And God wants you and me tonight

00:10:28.619 --> 00:10:30.839
 to consider that.

00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:32.319
 This is God's review

00:10:32.319 --> 00:10:34.059
 of your life and of mine.

00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:37.179
 And He wants you and me

00:10:37.179 --> 00:10:38.959
 to think of gratitude

00:10:38.959 --> 00:10:41.000
 towards the things of the Bible

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:42.639
 and the things of the Gospel.

00:10:43.939 --> 00:10:45.619
 He wants us to look at our own lives

00:10:45.619 --> 00:10:47.419
 and to think of perhaps

00:10:47.419 --> 00:10:49.559
 the fact that we have stopped listening

00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.139
 the way that we were listening.

00:10:52.419 --> 00:10:53.419
 And because of that

00:10:53.419 --> 00:10:54.739
 we stopped living the life

00:10:54.739 --> 00:10:56.299
 that we were living.

00:10:57.299 --> 00:10:58.779
 And it's all because

00:10:58.779 --> 00:11:00.719
 we are not disciplined.

00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:04.779
 We are not watching over ourselves.

00:11:06.359 --> 00:11:06.919
 I go to,

00:11:07.359 --> 00:11:08.899
 the children go to their classroom

00:11:08.899 --> 00:11:10.819
 and they need to be disciplined.

00:11:11.819 --> 00:11:12.739
 And they are reminded

00:11:12.739 --> 00:11:13.539
 about the discipline

00:11:13.539 --> 00:11:13.959
 that they need

00:11:13.959 --> 00:11:16.019
 by those who are teaching them.

00:11:16.019 --> 00:11:18.600
 and being disciplined

00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:19.480
 in their learning

00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:20.840
 they are going to benefit

00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.299
 from all that they are taught.

00:11:23.579 --> 00:11:24.659
 And the same principles

00:11:24.659 --> 00:11:25.600
 apply in everything

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:26.559
 that we are going to learn

00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:27.779
 and they apply here

00:11:27.779 --> 00:11:28.419
 in the Gospel.

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.279
 That you and I

00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.000
 have to ensure

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.340
 we have the right attitude

00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:36.220
 to receive.

00:11:37.259 --> 00:11:38.620
 That we have the discipline

00:11:38.620 --> 00:11:39.840
 that enables us

00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.799
 to focus on

00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.120
 what we are hearing

00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.319
 and that therefore

00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:45.200
 we are able to

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:46.860
 live out the life

00:11:46.860 --> 00:11:48.600
 that God wants us

00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.040
 to live.

00:11:51.379 --> 00:11:52.080
 A review

00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.000
 that caused

00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:54.940
 an interruption

00:11:54.940 --> 00:11:56.640
 and that caused him

00:11:56.640 --> 00:11:57.120
 to think

00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:58.080
 of where

00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:58.920
 the people

00:11:58.920 --> 00:11:59.820
 were.

00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:02.840
 And in any kind

00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:03.400
 of review

00:12:03.400 --> 00:12:04.680
 there must be

00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:05.640
 something that needs

00:12:05.640 --> 00:12:06.200
 to be done

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:06.879
 to address

00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:07.700
 the situation.

00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:09.900
 And what must

00:12:09.900 --> 00:12:10.400
 they do?

00:12:10.680 --> 00:12:11.440
 What must you

00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:12.100
 and I do?

00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:15.700
 In verse number 13

00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:16.159
 he speaks

00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:16.800
 of the way

00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:17.080
 in which

00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:18.080
 they ought

00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:19.080
 to be teachers.

00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:22.200
 They were supposed

00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:23.779
 to be helping others.

00:12:25.139 --> 00:12:26.100
 That's why God

00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:26.840
 has called us

00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:27.560
 to be his children

00:12:27.560 --> 00:12:28.980
 to be his disciples.

00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:30.779
 All of us here

00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:31.120
 tonight

00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:31.800
 who have faith

00:12:31.800 --> 00:12:32.500
 in the Lord Jesus

00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:34.639
 we are to serve him.

00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:36.240
 We are to teach

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:36.840
 each other.

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:38.220
 We are to teach

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:39.580
 those who are around us.

00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:40.820
 We are to teach

00:12:40.820 --> 00:12:41.820
 not only your children

00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:42.820
 but all those

00:12:42.820 --> 00:12:43.580
 who are on the journey

00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:44.240
 of faith

00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:45.120
 with us.

00:12:46.379 --> 00:12:47.420
 We are all teachers

00:12:47.420 --> 00:12:48.640
 because we have

00:12:48.640 --> 00:12:49.540
 the spirit of God

00:12:49.540 --> 00:12:50.260
 in our hearts

00:12:50.260 --> 00:12:51.379
 and God has given

00:12:51.379 --> 00:12:52.620
 to us the subject

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:54.120
 matter in his word.

00:12:55.420 --> 00:12:56.260
 But they were

00:12:56.260 --> 00:12:57.620
 unable to be teachers

00:12:57.620 --> 00:12:59.300
 and instead of that

00:12:59.300 --> 00:13:02.140
 they needed

00:13:02.140 --> 00:13:03.860
 in verse number 12

00:13:03.860 --> 00:13:06.720
 you need someone

00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:07.800
 to teach you again

00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.539
 the basic principles

00:13:09.539 --> 00:13:10.799
 of the oracles

00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:11.639
 of God.

00:13:14.859 --> 00:13:16.199
 He is saying

00:13:16.199 --> 00:13:16.939
 about them

00:13:16.939 --> 00:13:19.139
 that with regard

00:13:19.139 --> 00:13:20.000
 to faith

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.699
 they are back

00:13:21.699 --> 00:13:22.439
 in their childhood.

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:25.039
 They are back

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.559
 where they were

00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:26.599
 at the very beginning

00:13:26.599 --> 00:13:28.039
 of their Christian journey.

00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:30.559
 Imagine a parent

00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.279
 receiving a review

00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:32.939
 a report

00:13:32.939 --> 00:13:34.599
 on their child

00:13:34.599 --> 00:13:35.219
 from school

00:13:35.220 --> 00:13:36.920
 and the child

00:13:36.920 --> 00:13:37.759
 is years up

00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:38.399
 into learning

00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:39.420
 for example

00:13:39.420 --> 00:13:40.360
 in primary school

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.860
 and the review

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:43.540
 the assessment

00:13:43.540 --> 00:13:44.600
 at the end of the year

00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:45.560
 is going to say

00:13:45.560 --> 00:13:47.500
 that your child

00:13:47.500 --> 00:13:48.759
 is like a child

00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:50.160
 who needs to go back

00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:51.399
 to the basic level

00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:52.279
 of understanding

00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:53.279
 and teaching school.

00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:57.139
 How heartbreaking

00:13:57.139 --> 00:13:58.100
 that would be.

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:01.600
 How distressing

00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:02.440
 that would be.

00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.480
 that's something

00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:05.580
 of what the writer

00:14:05.580 --> 00:14:06.900
 here is referring to.

00:14:08.260 --> 00:14:09.140
 That here are

00:14:09.140 --> 00:14:10.200
 the people of faith

00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:11.820
 and God is saying

00:14:11.820 --> 00:14:12.220
 about them

00:14:12.220 --> 00:14:13.300
 you should be

00:14:13.300 --> 00:14:14.800
 way up in the standard

00:14:14.800 --> 00:14:15.840
 and the progression

00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.580
 and development

00:14:16.580 --> 00:14:17.920
 in the kingdom of God

00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:19.100
 you should be up there

00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:19.920
 teaching those

00:14:19.920 --> 00:14:20.520
 who are around you

00:14:20.520 --> 00:14:21.480
 and teaching

00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:22.620
 those who are

00:14:22.620 --> 00:14:23.860
 younger than you

00:14:23.860 --> 00:14:24.420
 in the faith.

00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:27.560
 But in actual fact

00:14:27.560 --> 00:14:29.900
 you are like

00:14:29.900 --> 00:14:30.980
 a child

00:14:30.980 --> 00:14:32.240
 yourself.

00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.500
 and if it's

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:36.360
 distressing

00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.140
 for a parent

00:14:38.140 --> 00:14:39.040
 to hear that

00:14:39.040 --> 00:14:40.180
 about their own

00:14:40.180 --> 00:14:41.260
 child in school

00:14:41.260 --> 00:14:45.320
 what do you think

00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:47.140
 God thinks

00:14:47.140 --> 00:14:48.320
 tonight?

00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:50.980
 If that's where

00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:51.560
 this review

00:14:51.560 --> 00:14:52.600
 finds you

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:53.640
 in your faith

00:14:53.640 --> 00:14:56.800
 that it's childish

00:14:56.800 --> 00:14:57.480
 that it's

00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:58.780
 back to be

00:14:58.780 --> 00:14:59.800
 more or less

00:14:59.800 --> 00:15:01.260
 unnoticeable.

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:02.980
 that it's

00:15:02.980 --> 00:15:03.840
 back to the

00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.000
 basic principles

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:06.100
 that need to be

00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:06.960
 learned once more

00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:08.100
 to show what

00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:08.980
 faith should be

00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:09.379
 like.

00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:13.299
 How do you

00:15:13.299 --> 00:15:13.720
 think

00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:15.659
 God feels

00:15:15.659 --> 00:15:17.379
 if that's

00:15:17.379 --> 00:15:18.340
 where you are

00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:18.799
 tonight?

00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:21.000
 a review

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.219
 with regard

00:15:23.219 --> 00:15:23.539
 to

00:15:23.539 --> 00:15:26.620
 their faith

00:15:26.620 --> 00:15:27.799
 and it

00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:28.740
 finds that

00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:29.500
 their faith

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:30.799
 that they are

00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:31.899
 immature in their

00:15:31.899 --> 00:15:32.279
 faith

00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.139
 and there are

00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:34.759
 many hundreds

00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:35.719
 in their lives

00:15:35.719 --> 00:15:37.459
 that cause

00:15:37.459 --> 00:15:37.979
 them to

00:15:37.979 --> 00:15:39.039
 be back

00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:39.659
 where they

00:15:39.659 --> 00:15:40.259
 actually

00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:41.299
 started.

00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:43.740
 a fearful

00:15:43.740 --> 00:15:45.559
 situation

00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:46.959
 that needs

00:15:46.959 --> 00:15:48.359
 attention.

00:15:49.139 --> 00:15:49.959
 It is

00:15:49.959 --> 00:15:50.539
 as I said

00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:51.019
 in the beginning

00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:52.339
 it is one of

00:15:52.339 --> 00:15:52.939
 these passages

00:15:52.939 --> 00:15:54.179
 which is

00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:55.479
 a wake up

00:15:55.479 --> 00:15:56.240
 call

00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.819
 and perhaps

00:15:58.819 --> 00:16:00.199
 for all of us

00:16:00.199 --> 00:16:01.459
 wherever this

00:16:01.459 --> 00:16:02.939
 review finds us

00:16:02.939 --> 00:16:03.339
 and wherever

00:16:03.339 --> 00:16:04.299
 God finds us

00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:04.620
 tonight

00:16:04.620 --> 00:16:06.620
 perhaps it is

00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:07.879
 at one level

00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:08.620
 or other

00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:09.980
 a wake up

00:16:09.980 --> 00:16:10.740
 call

00:16:10.740 --> 00:16:12.240
 to us all.

00:16:14.179 --> 00:16:15.039
 There is

00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:16.759
 a review.

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.179
 Secondly

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:20.820
 there is

00:16:20.820 --> 00:16:22.580
 a recommendation.

00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:23.879
 If that's

00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:24.740
 the situation

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:26.539
 advice must

00:16:26.539 --> 00:16:27.039
 be given

00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:28.120
 for the best

00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:28.679
 course of

00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:29.060
 action

00:16:29.060 --> 00:16:30.220
 to address

00:16:30.220 --> 00:16:31.360
 such a

00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:32.060
 poor attitude

00:16:32.060 --> 00:16:33.039
 and such

00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:33.620
 a lack

00:16:33.620 --> 00:16:33.940
 of

00:16:33.940 --> 00:16:35.299
 discipline.

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:38.060
 And there

00:16:38.060 --> 00:16:38.700
 is the

00:16:38.700 --> 00:16:39.179
 message that

00:16:39.179 --> 00:16:39.440
 we have

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:39.799
 then as we

00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:40.159
 move into

00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:40.980
 chapter number

00:16:40.980 --> 00:16:41.320
 six.

00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:43.539
 There is

00:16:43.539 --> 00:16:44.379
 a reference

00:16:44.379 --> 00:16:45.820
 to the

00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:47.299
 elementary

00:16:47.299 --> 00:16:47.899
 doctrine

00:16:47.899 --> 00:16:48.700
 of Christ

00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:51.659
 and it's

00:16:51.659 --> 00:16:52.419
 the basic

00:16:52.419 --> 00:16:53.480
 building blocks

00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:54.259
 that is the

00:16:54.259 --> 00:16:55.039
 very beginning

00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:56.360
 of me coming

00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:57.299
 to know

00:16:57.299 --> 00:16:57.740
 the Lord

00:16:57.740 --> 00:16:58.440
 Jesus Christ

00:16:58.440 --> 00:16:58.919
 as my

00:16:58.919 --> 00:16:59.240
 Savior.

00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:00.379
 The very

00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:01.320
 beginning of

00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:01.639
 things.

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:02.299
 We have a

00:17:02.299 --> 00:17:02.779
 list of them

00:17:02.779 --> 00:17:03.039
 there.

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:05.019
 The foundation

00:17:05.019 --> 00:17:05.799
 of repentance

00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:06.279
 from dead

00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:06.879
 works and

00:17:06.879 --> 00:17:07.480
 faith towards

00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:07.759
 God.

00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:08.220
 That's my

00:17:08.220 --> 00:17:08.740
 coming to

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:09.039
 faith.

00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:10.839
 Then there

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:11.539
 is the

00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:11.960
 instructions

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:12.759
 about washing

00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:13.399
 and the

00:17:13.399 --> 00:17:13.660
 laying of

00:17:13.660 --> 00:17:14.220
 hands.

00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:15.099
 The way

00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:15.359
 in which

00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:15.579
 we're

00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:16.399
 devoted to

00:17:16.399 --> 00:17:16.920
 the Lord

00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:17.879
 Jesus and

00:17:17.879 --> 00:17:18.139
 the way

00:17:18.139 --> 00:17:18.359
 in which

00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:18.879
 the Spirit

00:17:18.879 --> 00:17:19.220
 of God

00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:19.720
 dwells in

00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:20.119
 our hearts.

00:17:20.639 --> 00:17:20.740
 The

00:17:20.740 --> 00:17:21.099
 resurrection

00:17:21.099 --> 00:17:21.940
 of the

00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:22.220
 dead.

00:17:23.259 --> 00:17:23.779
 The future

00:17:23.779 --> 00:17:24.740
 and eternal

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:25.539
 judgment.

00:17:26.399 --> 00:17:26.960
 And this

00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:27.359
 is what we do

00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:27.779
 of God.

00:17:27.879 --> 00:17:29.000
 Permits basic

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:29.700
 things.

00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:31.119
 It's the

00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:31.480
 kind of

00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:31.980
 things that

00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:33.139
 we learn

00:17:33.139 --> 00:17:33.720
 in Sunday

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:34.099
 school.

00:17:34.099 --> 00:17:35.159
 that in

00:17:35.159 --> 00:17:35.740
 our infant

00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:36.319
 years there

00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:36.779
 were things

00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:37.099
 that were

00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:37.819
 taught to

00:17:37.819 --> 00:17:37.980
 us.

00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:39.039
 The basic

00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:40.480
 things about

00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:41.199
 salvation.

00:17:41.779 --> 00:17:41.899
 The

00:17:41.899 --> 00:17:42.359
 shorted

00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:43.019
 catechism.

00:17:44.579 --> 00:17:45.219
 The

00:17:45.219 --> 00:17:46.059
 messages that

00:17:46.059 --> 00:17:46.359
 we were

00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:46.719
 taught.

00:17:47.779 --> 00:17:48.000
 The

00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.579
 recommendation

00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:51.199
 is that

00:17:51.199 --> 00:17:52.119
 there must

00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:52.939
 now be

00:17:52.939 --> 00:17:54.959
 a departure.

00:17:55.959 --> 00:17:56.699
 A moving

00:17:56.699 --> 00:17:57.159
 on.

00:17:58.699 --> 00:17:59.259
 And not

00:17:59.259 --> 00:17:59.500
 in the

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:00.139
 sense of

00:18:00.139 --> 00:18:01.379
 leaving these

00:18:01.379 --> 00:18:02.119
 things as if

00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:02.699
 they did not

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:03.160
 matter.

00:18:04.340 --> 00:18:04.700
 It's

00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:05.340
 building on

00:18:05.340 --> 00:18:05.960
 these as

00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:06.960
 the basic

00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:08.220
 building blocks

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:08.840
 that begin

00:18:08.840 --> 00:18:09.640
 a life of

00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:10.059
 faith.

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:11.740
 And now

00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:12.460
 building on

00:18:12.460 --> 00:18:13.360
 that and

00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:13.799
 he says to

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:14.039
 them,

00:18:15.420 --> 00:18:17.039
 let us

00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:17.700
 leave the

00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:18.180
 elementary

00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:18.819
 doctrine of

00:18:18.819 --> 00:18:20.100
 Christ and

00:18:20.100 --> 00:18:22.440
 go on

00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:23.019
 to

00:18:23.019 --> 00:18:25.980
 maturity.

00:18:27.840 --> 00:18:28.360
 It is

00:18:28.360 --> 00:18:29.400
 the sense

00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:31.299
 of bearing

00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:32.160
 a burden

00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:33.420
 the

00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:33.900
 going on.

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:34.259
 It's not

00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:34.660
 simply

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:35.420
 stepping

00:18:35.420 --> 00:18:36.259
 forward and

00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:36.960
 running

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:37.320
 along.

00:18:37.580 --> 00:18:38.200
 It's

00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:38.940
 going on

00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:39.140
 in the

00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:40.320
 sense of

00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:42.180
 bearing a

00:18:42.180 --> 00:18:42.500
 burden.

00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:45.779
 And we

00:18:45.779 --> 00:18:46.160
 would be

00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:46.460
 kidding

00:18:46.460 --> 00:18:47.640
 ourselves if

00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:47.880
 we're going

00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:48.300
 to live the

00:18:48.300 --> 00:18:48.880
 life of

00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:50.460
 faith and

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:50.880
 we're not

00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:51.259
 going to

00:18:51.259 --> 00:18:51.860
 carry the

00:18:51.860 --> 00:18:52.340
 burden.

00:18:52.940 --> 00:18:53.700
 The yoke of

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:54.840
 Christ as

00:18:54.840 --> 00:18:55.300
 Christ himself

00:18:55.300 --> 00:18:56.480
 calls it,

00:18:56.900 --> 00:18:57.500
 there is that

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:58.340
 sense of

00:18:58.340 --> 00:18:59.019
 bearing the

00:18:59.019 --> 00:18:59.400
 burden,

00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:00.360
 of bearing

00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:01.119
 the yoke,

00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:01.839
 there is

00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:02.659
 that moving

00:19:02.659 --> 00:19:03.399
 along,

00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:05.179
 bearing the

00:19:05.179 --> 00:19:05.859
 burden of

00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:06.859
 responsibility,

00:19:07.659 --> 00:19:08.259
 of learning,

00:19:08.479 --> 00:19:08.919
 and of

00:19:08.919 --> 00:19:09.699
 developing

00:19:09.699 --> 00:19:10.219
 faith.

00:19:11.679 --> 00:19:11.859
 And

00:19:11.859 --> 00:19:12.379
 interestingly,

00:19:12.740 --> 00:19:13.240
 when the

00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:13.879
 writer speaks

00:19:13.879 --> 00:19:14.879
 about going

00:19:14.879 --> 00:19:15.379
 on to

00:19:15.379 --> 00:19:16.099
 maturity,

00:19:17.379 --> 00:19:18.019
 in the

00:19:18.019 --> 00:19:18.699
 Greek language

00:19:18.699 --> 00:19:20.619
 it is the

00:19:20.619 --> 00:19:21.240
 sense of

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:21.899
 being

00:19:21.899 --> 00:19:22.879
 passive.

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:26.319
 And we're

00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:26.679
 not saying

00:19:26.679 --> 00:19:27.279
 that to be

00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:27.940
 complicated,

00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:28.819
 but we're

00:19:28.819 --> 00:19:29.279
 saying that

00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:29.940
 because it

00:19:29.940 --> 00:19:31.000
 draws attention

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:31.559
 to the

00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:33.299
 fact that

00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:34.019
 God is

00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:34.799
 carrying them

00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:35.839
 along and

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:36.500
 will carry

00:19:36.500 --> 00:19:37.639
 them along as

00:19:37.639 --> 00:19:38.599
 they go on

00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:39.480
 to maturity.

00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:41.639
 He is not

00:19:41.639 --> 00:19:41.920
 saying to

00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:42.680
 them, go off

00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:43.460
 on your own

00:19:43.460 --> 00:19:44.539
 and here is

00:19:44.539 --> 00:19:44.980
 where you're

00:19:44.980 --> 00:19:46.079
 at, but go

00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:46.819
 and embark on

00:19:46.819 --> 00:19:47.779
 this journey and

00:19:47.779 --> 00:19:48.639
 go towards

00:19:48.639 --> 00:19:49.899
 maturity and

00:19:49.899 --> 00:19:50.379
 you're going to

00:19:50.379 --> 00:19:50.839
 be on your

00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:51.299
 own doing

00:19:51.299 --> 00:19:51.579
 it.

00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:54.299
 God doesn't

00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:55.399
 work like

00:19:55.399 --> 00:19:55.819
 that.

00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:57.379
 He gave

00:19:57.379 --> 00:19:58.099
 us faith.

00:19:59.679 --> 00:20:00.039
 He gave

00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:00.519
 us of His

00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:01.179
 Holy Spirit

00:20:01.179 --> 00:20:01.559
 in our

00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:03.480
 hearts and

00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:03.939
 He gives

00:20:03.939 --> 00:20:04.720
 the strength

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.159
 to us to

00:20:06.159 --> 00:20:07.000
 carry on in

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:07.500
 the life of

00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:07.879
 faith.

00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:09.599
 It is

00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:11.240
 not quite

00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:11.980
 carrying us

00:20:11.980 --> 00:20:12.939
 along, but

00:20:12.939 --> 00:20:13.299
 it's giving

00:20:13.299 --> 00:20:13.639
 us the

00:20:13.639 --> 00:20:14.399
 strength to

00:20:14.399 --> 00:20:15.179
 go along

00:20:15.179 --> 00:20:16.279
 life's

00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:16.799
 way.

00:20:18.460 --> 00:20:19.000
 And that's

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:19.799
 the encouragement

00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:20.839
 for you and

00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:21.439
 for me this

00:20:21.439 --> 00:20:22.419
 evening that

00:20:22.419 --> 00:20:23.379
 in our

00:20:23.379 --> 00:20:25.139
 good to

00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:26.400
 answer the

00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:27.620
 difficulties in

00:20:27.620 --> 00:20:28.660
 our faith and

00:20:28.660 --> 00:20:29.520
 our failure to

00:20:29.520 --> 00:20:31.280
 be as far on

00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:31.940
 our faith as

00:20:31.940 --> 00:20:32.640
 we should be

00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:33.740
 that we have

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:35.120
 to go on

00:20:35.120 --> 00:20:36.000
 towards

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.980
 maturity.

00:20:41.980 --> 00:20:42.900
 Maturity in

00:20:42.900 --> 00:20:43.400
 faith, of

00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:43.580
 course.

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:44.640
 We read back

00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:45.440
 in chapter 5

00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:46.700
 and the writer

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:47.380
 speaks about

00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:49.340
 that Jesus

00:20:49.340 --> 00:20:50.140
 Himself,

00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:51.860
 He learned

00:20:51.860 --> 00:20:52.960
 obedience from

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:53.580
 what He

00:20:53.579 --> 00:20:56.039
 suffered and

00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:56.679
 being made

00:20:56.679 --> 00:20:57.659
 perfect,

00:20:58.659 --> 00:20:59.059
 becoming

00:20:59.059 --> 00:21:00.379
 mature, He

00:21:00.379 --> 00:21:01.019
 became the

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:01.659
 source of

00:21:01.659 --> 00:21:02.079
 eternal

00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:02.720
 salvation.

00:21:04.379 --> 00:21:04.720
 It's

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.319
 perfection,

00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:06.079
 it's maturity

00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:07.159
 in the sense

00:21:07.159 --> 00:21:08.159
 of being what

00:21:08.159 --> 00:21:08.819
 God has

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:09.559
 designed us

00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:10.379
 to be and

00:21:10.379 --> 00:21:11.099
 to be grown

00:21:11.099 --> 00:21:12.179
 up people of

00:21:12.179 --> 00:21:12.799
 faith and the

00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:13.299
 children of

00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:14.439
 God, walking

00:21:14.439 --> 00:21:15.339
 at that level

00:21:15.339 --> 00:21:16.019
 at which we

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:16.539
 should be

00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:17.439
 walking in

00:21:17.439 --> 00:21:18.319
 comparison to

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:18.939
 the number of

00:21:18.939 --> 00:21:20.059
 years that we

00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:20.899
 have lived the

00:21:20.899 --> 00:21:21.759
 life of the

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:22.299
 Christian.

00:21:23.579 --> 00:21:27.240
 God wants

00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:27.819
 me and

00:21:27.819 --> 00:21:28.319
 you to

00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:30.059
 hear this

00:21:30.059 --> 00:21:30.859
 recommendation.

00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:33.139
 He wants

00:21:33.139 --> 00:21:33.559
 us to

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:34.480
 remember the

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:35.359
 building blocks

00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:37.240
 and He

00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:37.799
 wants us to

00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:38.639
 use these as

00:21:38.639 --> 00:21:39.639
 a springboard

00:21:39.639 --> 00:21:40.879
 from which

00:21:40.879 --> 00:21:41.480
 He Himself

00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:42.079
 will give us

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:43.759
 strength to

00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:44.259
 go along

00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:44.919
 through this

00:21:44.919 --> 00:21:46.259
 world in

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:46.839
 all of its

00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:47.879
 discouragements,

00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:49.199
 in all of its

00:21:49.199 --> 00:21:49.839
 distractions,

00:21:50.439 --> 00:21:51.220
 in all of its

00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:52.319
 disappointments,

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:54.079
 discipline to

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:55.179
 go forward in

00:21:55.179 --> 00:21:56.159
 life with a

00:21:56.159 --> 00:21:57.019
 kind of faith

00:21:57.019 --> 00:21:57.939
 that grows

00:21:57.939 --> 00:21:58.980
 strong in the

00:21:58.980 --> 00:21:59.679
 midst of all

00:21:59.679 --> 00:22:00.279
 the challenges

00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:01.639
 and that shines

00:22:01.639 --> 00:22:03.240
 forth in the

00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:03.879
 midst of all

00:22:03.879 --> 00:22:05.480
 the examination.

00:22:08.980 --> 00:22:09.659
 We know

00:22:09.659 --> 00:22:10.359
 our children,

00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:11.659
 we know how

00:22:11.659 --> 00:22:12.240
 well they've

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:12.799
 learned and

00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:14.299
 studied when

00:22:14.299 --> 00:22:14.960
 they have their

00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:15.839
 examination

00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.599
 results and

00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:19.419
 we see

00:22:19.419 --> 00:22:20.159
 results and

00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:20.840
 we can say

00:22:20.840 --> 00:22:22.040
 wow and

00:22:22.040 --> 00:22:22.500
 we can say

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:23.120
 that because

00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:23.880
 there has

00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:24.640
 been discipline,

00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:25.500
 there has

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:26.200
 been hard

00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:27.120
 work and

00:22:27.120 --> 00:22:27.680
 now we have

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:28.400
 the results.

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:30.620
 It's the

00:22:30.620 --> 00:22:31.759
 same in the

00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:32.340
 life of

00:22:32.340 --> 00:22:32.720
 faith.

00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:35.420
 And let's

00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:35.920
 be clear,

00:22:36.360 --> 00:22:37.100
 that is not

00:22:37.100 --> 00:22:38.880
 to say that

00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:39.680
 this is faith

00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:40.440
 by works,

00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:42.380
 that we are

00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:42.940
 depending on

00:22:42.940 --> 00:22:43.400
 what we do

00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:44.060
 ourselves,

00:22:45.060 --> 00:22:46.000
 but our

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:47.860
 development is

00:22:47.860 --> 00:22:48.759
 dependent on

00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:49.660
 what we do.

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:50.859
 We have to

00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:51.539
 work out

00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:52.319
 our salvation

00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:53.059
 with fear and

00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:54.079
 trembling because

00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:54.960
 it is God

00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:55.859
 that works in

00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:56.200
 us.

00:22:57.579 --> 00:22:58.460
 It's God

00:22:58.460 --> 00:22:59.200
 and us and

00:22:59.200 --> 00:22:59.839
 it's us and

00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:01.220
 God and so

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:03.319
 he carries

00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:05.599
 us along.

00:23:06.879 --> 00:23:07.400
 And in

00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:09.700
 any stage of

00:23:09.700 --> 00:23:10.559
 education there

00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:11.200
 is that sense

00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:12.519
 of age and

00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:13.460
 stage relevance

00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:14.119
 and age and

00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:15.019
 stage development

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:17.639
 and God

00:23:17.639 --> 00:23:18.079
 does not

00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:19.960
 expect the

00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:20.599
 person who

00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:21.920
 has newly

00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:22.299
 put their

00:23:22.299 --> 00:23:23.000
 trust in the

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:23.539
 Lord Jesus

00:23:23.539 --> 00:23:25.059
 to be at

00:23:25.059 --> 00:23:25.480
 the same

00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:26.420
 stage along

00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:26.940
 this journey

00:23:26.940 --> 00:23:27.539
 as the

00:23:27.539 --> 00:23:28.079
 person who

00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:29.240
 has for a

00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:29.980
 long life

00:23:29.980 --> 00:23:31.740
 lived trusting

00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:32.039
 in the

00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:32.599
 Lord Jesus.

00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:35.500
 It is age

00:23:35.500 --> 00:23:36.139
 and stage

00:23:36.139 --> 00:23:36.720
 relevant.

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:37.879
 God expects

00:23:37.879 --> 00:23:38.599
 the development

00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:39.420
 at every

00:23:39.420 --> 00:23:40.400
 stage but

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:41.299
 maturity is

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:42.119
 God's design

00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:43.000
 and God's

00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:44.200
 goal and

00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:45.000
 that's where

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:45.600
 we're all

00:23:45.600 --> 00:23:48.299
 moving towards.

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:52.059
 And in

00:23:52.059 --> 00:23:52.720
 many ways

00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:54.319
 if there's

00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:55.340
 an examination

00:23:55.340 --> 00:23:56.880
 as to how

00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:57.600
 much we have

00:23:57.600 --> 00:23:59.799
 learned in

00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:00.360
 the Bible

00:24:00.360 --> 00:24:02.220
 the examination

00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:03.140
 is what

00:24:03.140 --> 00:24:04.779
 proves the

00:24:04.779 --> 00:24:06.200
 genuineness of

00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:06.940
 my faith.

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:09.880
 And when

00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:10.460
 God is

00:24:10.460 --> 00:24:11.519
 reviewing your

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:13.200
 life and

00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:14.779
 he finds

00:24:14.779 --> 00:24:15.319
 that things

00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:15.660
 are not

00:24:15.660 --> 00:24:15.920
 the way

00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:16.460
 they should

00:24:16.460 --> 00:24:18.299
 be and

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:18.600
 he's

00:24:18.600 --> 00:24:19.880
 calling upon

00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:21.279
 you recommending

00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:22.220
 with this

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:23.240
 imperative that

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:24.420
 you go on

00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:25.480
 to maturity

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:28.279
 he is

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:29.200
 saying that

00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:29.759
 that's how

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.319
 you prove

00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:31.440
 that your

00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:32.400
 faith is

00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:33.340
 genuine

00:24:33.340 --> 00:24:34.519
 it is real.

00:24:36.420 --> 00:24:36.799
 And that's

00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:37.220
 a wake up

00:24:37.220 --> 00:24:37.519
 call.

00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.299
 faith is

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:41.859
 not the

00:24:41.859 --> 00:24:42.339
 kind of

00:24:42.339 --> 00:24:42.859
 thing that

00:24:42.859 --> 00:24:43.279
 can be

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:43.740
 hidden.

00:24:45.019 --> 00:24:45.799
 We cannot

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.440
 see it

00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:47.180
 but we

00:24:47.180 --> 00:24:47.519
 can see

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:48.139
 the evidence

00:24:48.139 --> 00:24:48.619
 offered.

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:49.799
 By the

00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:50.240
 fruits you

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:50.700
 shall know

00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:50.960
 them.

00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:52.099
 A good

00:24:52.099 --> 00:24:52.460
 tree will

00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:52.859
 bring forth

00:24:52.859 --> 00:24:53.500
 good fruit.

00:24:55.420 --> 00:24:56.379
 How much

00:24:56.379 --> 00:24:58.139
 does your

00:24:58.139 --> 00:24:59.680
 life confirm

00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:01.359
 that your

00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:02.039
 faith is

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:02.980
 genuine?

00:25:02.980 --> 00:25:03.120
 genuine.

00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:05.440
 That's

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:05.839
 challenging

00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:06.420
 for me.

00:25:07.339 --> 00:25:07.900
 It must be

00:25:07.900 --> 00:25:08.259
 challenging

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:09.220
 for you.

00:25:10.900 --> 00:25:11.620
 That life

00:25:11.620 --> 00:25:12.480
 is what

00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:13.500
 confirms.

00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:14.099
 That's

00:25:14.099 --> 00:25:15.180
 where the

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:16.140
 examination

00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:17.160
 result is

00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:17.700
 seen.

00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:19.420
 What kind

00:25:19.420 --> 00:25:20.019
 of life

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:21.360
 do you

00:25:21.360 --> 00:25:21.640
 live?

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:22.099
 What kind

00:25:22.099 --> 00:25:22.500
 of life

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:23.079
 do I

00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:23.460
 live?

00:25:24.099 --> 00:25:24.539
 How much

00:25:24.539 --> 00:25:25.000
 does that

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:26.200
 life show

00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:27.279
 that our

00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:28.559
 faith is

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:29.860
 genuine?

00:25:29.859 --> 00:25:31.479
 And the

00:25:31.479 --> 00:25:31.919
 flip side

00:25:31.919 --> 00:25:32.240
 of that

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:32.579
 of course

00:25:32.579 --> 00:25:33.579
 is that

00:25:33.579 --> 00:25:34.679
 unless

00:25:34.679 --> 00:25:36.699
 our lives

00:25:36.699 --> 00:25:38.159
 show that

00:25:38.159 --> 00:25:38.740
 our faith

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:39.519
 is genuine

00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:41.359
 then it

00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:42.559
 raises the

00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:42.939
 critical

00:25:42.939 --> 00:25:43.599
 question

00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:45.000
 do we

00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:45.959
 have faith

00:25:45.959 --> 00:25:46.959
 at all?

00:25:48.339 --> 00:25:48.679
 And we

00:25:48.679 --> 00:25:49.039
 know that

00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:49.619
 James speaks

00:25:49.619 --> 00:25:50.919
 about faith

00:25:50.919 --> 00:25:51.639
 without works

00:25:51.639 --> 00:25:52.519
 being dead.

00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:54.419
 That's the

00:25:54.419 --> 00:25:54.979
 way it is.

00:25:56.779 --> 00:25:57.179
 Genuine

00:25:57.179 --> 00:25:58.799
 faith shines

00:25:58.799 --> 00:25:59.699
 out in

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:00.240
 the challenges

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:00.860
 of life

00:26:00.860 --> 00:26:01.620
 in the

00:26:01.620 --> 00:26:01.819
 midst of

00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:02.080
 all the

00:26:02.080 --> 00:26:02.920
 disappointments

00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:03.539
 all of

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:03.799
 the

00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:05.279
 disillusionment

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.759
 everything

00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:06.940
 that knocks

00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:07.519
 us down

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.200
 is where

00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:09.160
 faith springs

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:09.680
 up and

00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:10.059
 comes to

00:26:10.059 --> 00:26:10.580
 the surface

00:26:10.580 --> 00:26:11.559
 and it

00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:12.380
 begins

00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:13.660
 to shine.

00:26:15.600 --> 00:26:16.500
 There is

00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:17.039
 a review

00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.019
 there is

00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:19.940
 a recommendation

00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:21.660
 and finally

00:26:21.660 --> 00:26:22.920
 there is

00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:24.819
 a reflection.

00:26:24.819 --> 00:26:24.939
 reflection.

00:26:30.939 --> 00:26:31.599
 A reflection

00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:33.899
 that calls

00:26:33.899 --> 00:26:34.179
 for

00:26:34.179 --> 00:26:35.200
 careful

00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:35.679
 and

00:26:35.679 --> 00:26:36.279
 thoughtful

00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:37.659
 consideration

00:26:37.659 --> 00:26:38.559
 of what

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:38.859
 he has

00:26:38.859 --> 00:26:39.399
 said.

00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:42.000
 And

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:42.480
 reflections

00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:43.119
 are really

00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:43.599
 important

00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:44.799
 and the

00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:45.539
 way reflections

00:26:45.539 --> 00:26:47.000
 take shape

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:47.359
 and the

00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:47.700
 way they

00:26:47.700 --> 00:26:48.079
 happen

00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:48.879
 they are

00:26:48.879 --> 00:26:49.480
 crucially

00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:49.980
 important.

00:26:52.019 --> 00:26:52.460
 And the

00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:53.099
 writer here

00:26:53.099 --> 00:26:54.160
 brings them

00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:56.259
 to reflect

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:57.799
 on something

00:26:57.799 --> 00:26:58.740
 that is

00:26:58.740 --> 00:27:00.019
 really critical

00:27:00.019 --> 00:27:00.539
 to their

00:27:00.539 --> 00:27:00.920
 faith,

00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:02.299
 critical to

00:27:02.299 --> 00:27:02.920
 their Christian

00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:03.680
 experience

00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:05.819
 and concerning

00:27:05.819 --> 00:27:06.799
 which they

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:07.559
 must be

00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:09.259
 very mindful.

00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:11.120
 If it's a

00:27:11.120 --> 00:27:11.779
 warning from

00:27:11.779 --> 00:27:13.640
 God it's

00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:14.440
 worth listening

00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:15.259
 to we

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:16.080
 have to

00:27:16.080 --> 00:27:17.059
 listen to

00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:17.320
 it.

00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:19.779
 And the

00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:20.660
 reflection that

00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:21.019
 he does

00:27:21.019 --> 00:27:21.740
 have he

00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:22.539
 places the

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:24.980
 spotlight on

00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:25.600
 a group of

00:27:25.600 --> 00:27:27.200
 people and

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:28.220
 he describes

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:29.240
 that group of

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:29.799
 people in

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:30.220
 verse number

00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:30.600
 four.

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.160
 Those who

00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:33.980
 have once

00:27:33.980 --> 00:27:34.980
 been enlightened

00:27:34.980 --> 00:27:36.920
 those who

00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:37.500
 have tasted

00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:37.960
 the heavenly

00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:39.600
 gift who

00:27:39.600 --> 00:27:40.080
 have shared

00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:40.539
 in the Holy

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:42.120
 Spirit and

00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:42.620
 have tasted

00:27:42.620 --> 00:27:43.200
 the goodness

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:44.140
 of the

00:27:44.140 --> 00:27:44.580
 word of

00:27:44.580 --> 00:27:45.500
 God and

00:27:45.500 --> 00:27:46.000
 the perish

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:46.460
 of the

00:27:46.460 --> 00:27:49.540
 age to

00:27:49.540 --> 00:27:49.940
 come.

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:52.200
 They were

00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:52.700
 once

00:27:52.700 --> 00:27:54.540
 enlightened.

00:27:56.100 --> 00:27:56.700
 The light

00:27:56.700 --> 00:27:57.480
 of God's

00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:58.620
 Spirit shone

00:27:58.620 --> 00:27:59.080
 into their

00:27:59.080 --> 00:27:59.600
 lives.

00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:00.580
 They're part

00:28:00.580 --> 00:28:00.920
 of this

00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:01.300
 Christian

00:28:01.300 --> 00:28:02.460
 community and

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:02.780
 as being

00:28:02.780 --> 00:28:03.520
 part of it

00:28:03.520 --> 00:28:04.520
 they themselves

00:28:04.520 --> 00:28:06.060
 received that

00:28:06.060 --> 00:28:07.240
 measure of

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:07.700
 light.

00:28:09.940 --> 00:28:10.880
 Along with

00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:12.440
 that they

00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:12.960
 tasted

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:14.960
 the heavenly

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:15.579
 gift.

00:28:17.340 --> 00:28:18.440
 They tasted

00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:20.079
 something of

00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:20.600
 the grace

00:28:20.600 --> 00:28:22.019
 of salvation.

00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:24.400
 We can

00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:25.160
 taste something

00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:26.340
 and not

00:28:26.340 --> 00:28:26.960
 swallow it

00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:28.360
 because we

00:28:28.360 --> 00:28:28.860
 don't like

00:28:28.860 --> 00:28:29.120
 it.

00:28:30.120 --> 00:28:30.819
 We can

00:28:30.819 --> 00:28:31.480
 taste it

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:32.400
 and swallow

00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:32.740
 it.

00:28:33.380 --> 00:28:33.940
 But here are

00:28:33.940 --> 00:28:35.079
 those who

00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:35.779
 have tasted

00:28:35.779 --> 00:28:37.019
 something of

00:28:37.019 --> 00:28:38.200
 the experience

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:39.299
 the grace

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:40.380
 of salvation.

00:28:42.779 --> 00:28:43.340
 And they

00:28:43.340 --> 00:28:43.840
 are also

00:28:43.840 --> 00:28:44.299
 those who

00:28:44.299 --> 00:28:44.860
 have shared

00:28:44.860 --> 00:28:45.100
 in the

00:28:45.100 --> 00:28:45.700
 Holy Spirit

00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:46.880
 tasted the

00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:47.279
 goodness of

00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:47.559
 the word

00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:47.940
 of God

00:28:47.940 --> 00:28:48.660
 and the

00:28:48.660 --> 00:28:49.180
 powers of

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:49.640
 the age

00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:50.220
 to come.

00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:52.480
 The word

00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:52.840
 of God

00:28:52.840 --> 00:28:53.400
 has touched

00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:54.039
 their lives.

00:28:55.380 --> 00:28:56.480
 The kingdom

00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:57.059
 of God

00:28:57.059 --> 00:28:57.519
 which is

00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:58.120
 future

00:28:58.120 --> 00:28:59.059
 which is not

00:28:59.059 --> 00:28:59.779
 yet has

00:28:59.779 --> 00:29:00.340
 touched

00:29:00.340 --> 00:29:00.799
 their lives

00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:01.400
 also.

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:03.660
 Their lives

00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:04.180
 have been

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:05.519
 impacted by

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:06.160
 the word

00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:06.680
 of God

00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:07.319
 and by

00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:07.900
 the gospel

00:29:07.900 --> 00:29:08.299
 the good

00:29:08.299 --> 00:29:08.720
 news of

00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:09.539
 Jesus Christ

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:10.259
 and they

00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:10.960
 have seen

00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:12.019
 the light.

00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:18.339
 And it

00:29:18.339 --> 00:29:19.139
 draws our

00:29:19.139 --> 00:29:19.740
 attention

00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:22.879
 to what

00:29:22.879 --> 00:29:24.220
 can happen

00:29:24.220 --> 00:29:26.379
 and to

00:29:26.379 --> 00:29:27.059
 how much

00:29:27.059 --> 00:29:27.819
 can happen

00:29:27.819 --> 00:29:29.460
 and yet

00:29:29.460 --> 00:29:30.359
 there is no

00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:31.319
 genuine

00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:32.299
 faith.

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:32.339
 life.

00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:34.419
 And that

00:29:34.419 --> 00:29:35.119
 alarms me

00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:35.519
 tonight.

00:29:36.619 --> 00:29:37.240
 And it

00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:37.740
 should alarm

00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:38.579
 all of us

00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:40.220
 that we

00:29:40.220 --> 00:29:40.720
 can look

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.159
 as if we

00:29:41.159 --> 00:29:41.539
 have all

00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:41.720
 the

00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:42.559
 characteristics

00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:43.619
 of being

00:29:43.619 --> 00:29:44.099
 a person

00:29:44.099 --> 00:29:44.539
 of faith

00:29:44.539 --> 00:29:44.839
 and being

00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:45.460
 the child

00:29:45.460 --> 00:29:46.000
 of God

00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:47.639
 and has

00:29:47.639 --> 00:29:48.480
 gone no

00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:49.200
 deeper than

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:50.139
 passing

00:29:50.139 --> 00:29:50.899
 experience

00:29:50.899 --> 00:29:51.460
 in life

00:29:51.460 --> 00:29:52.839
 where because

00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:53.859
 of the fact

00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:54.139
 that we're

00:29:54.139 --> 00:29:54.359
 in the

00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:54.799
 community

00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:55.419
 of faith

00:29:55.419 --> 00:29:56.139
 and under

00:29:56.139 --> 00:29:56.659
 the ministry

00:29:56.659 --> 00:29:57.339
 of the gospel

00:29:57.339 --> 00:29:58.259
 where the

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:58.799
 Holy Spirit

00:29:58.799 --> 00:29:59.180
 of God

00:29:59.180 --> 00:29:59.599
 is working

00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:00.440
 that because

00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:01.039
 of all of

00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:01.279
 that

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:02.480
 our lives

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:03.720
 were impacted

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:04.920
 for a

00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:05.440
 while.

00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:08.859
 We need

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:09.859
 to allow

00:30:09.859 --> 00:30:11.599
 ourselves

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:13.119
 to reflect

00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:14.160
 upon that

00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:15.579
 as the

00:30:15.579 --> 00:30:16.240
 writer wanted

00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:17.240
 them to

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:18.279
 reflect

00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:20.319
 upon it.

00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:22.480
 They were

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:23.079
 bearing

00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:24.519
 all the

00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:25.299
 hallmarks

00:30:25.299 --> 00:30:27.460
 of genuine

00:30:27.460 --> 00:30:28.019
 faith

00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:29.139
 and

00:30:29.139 --> 00:30:29.920
 Christianity.

00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:32.079
 it seems

00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:32.480
 that if

00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:33.099
 we were

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:33.619
 going to

00:30:33.619 --> 00:30:34.379
 look

00:30:34.379 --> 00:30:36.480
 at this

00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:36.940
 group of

00:30:36.940 --> 00:30:37.399
 people that

00:30:37.399 --> 00:30:37.619
 he is

00:30:37.619 --> 00:30:38.180
 referring to

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:38.779
 and we

00:30:38.779 --> 00:30:39.940
 to observe

00:30:39.940 --> 00:30:40.740
 where they're

00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:41.000
 at

00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:42.299
 we would

00:30:42.299 --> 00:30:42.859
 conclude

00:30:42.859 --> 00:30:44.420
 these are

00:30:44.420 --> 00:30:45.259
 Christians

00:30:45.259 --> 00:30:45.619
 they are

00:30:45.619 --> 00:30:46.259
 people

00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:48.059
 of faith.

00:30:50.059 --> 00:30:50.700
 And the

00:30:50.700 --> 00:30:51.099
 reflection

00:30:51.099 --> 00:30:51.899
 takes us

00:30:51.899 --> 00:30:53.000
 to the

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:53.359
 way in

00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:53.639
 which

00:30:53.639 --> 00:30:55.039
 he speaks

00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:55.420
 about

00:30:55.420 --> 00:30:56.399
 something

00:30:56.399 --> 00:30:56.859
 that's

00:30:56.859 --> 00:30:57.639
 impossible.

00:30:57.640 --> 00:30:57.740
 impossible.

00:30:59.280 --> 00:30:59.980
 And we

00:30:59.980 --> 00:31:00.380
 know that

00:31:00.380 --> 00:31:00.620
 in the

00:31:00.620 --> 00:31:01.140
 Old Testament

00:31:01.140 --> 00:31:02.000
 the Bible

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:02.680
 tells us

00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:04.020
 with God

00:31:04.020 --> 00:31:05.360
 nothing is

00:31:05.360 --> 00:31:06.200
 impossible.

00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:07.740
 He has

00:31:07.740 --> 00:31:08.220
 the power

00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:08.680
 to do

00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:09.620
 everything

00:31:09.620 --> 00:31:10.340
 that he

00:31:10.340 --> 00:31:10.960
 must do

00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:11.780
 in order to

00:31:11.780 --> 00:31:12.380
 fulfill his

00:31:12.380 --> 00:31:13.060
 own plans.

00:31:13.560 --> 00:31:14.220
 Nothing is

00:31:14.220 --> 00:31:15.000
 impossible

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:15.840
 with him.

00:31:17.120 --> 00:31:17.480
 In this

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:18.100
 letter itself

00:31:18.100 --> 00:31:19.100
 it's impossible

00:31:19.100 --> 00:31:19.800
 for God

00:31:19.800 --> 00:31:20.380
 to lie.

00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:21.259
 It simply

00:31:21.259 --> 00:31:22.220
 cannot happen.

00:31:22.220 --> 00:31:24.799
 And here

00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:25.140
 there is

00:31:25.140 --> 00:31:26.100
 something else

00:31:26.100 --> 00:31:27.279
 that is

00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:28.259
 impossible.

00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:29.920
 And it

00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:30.240
 is in

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:30.799
 relation to

00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:31.120
 God

00:31:31.120 --> 00:31:32.680
 but more

00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:33.140
 especially

00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:33.559
 it's in

00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:34.220
 relation to

00:31:34.220 --> 00:31:34.660
 you and

00:31:34.660 --> 00:31:35.120
 to me.

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:37.220
 And the

00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:37.960
 impossibility

00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:38.440
 is with

00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:39.120
 regard to

00:31:39.120 --> 00:31:41.180
 those who

00:31:41.180 --> 00:31:43.000
 may fall

00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:43.779
 away.

00:31:44.460 --> 00:31:45.240
 If they

00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:46.120
 then fall

00:31:46.120 --> 00:31:46.680
 away.

00:31:48.980 --> 00:31:49.819
 If they

00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:50.200
 disappear

00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:51.240
 over the

00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:51.720
 edge

00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:54.500
 they're

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:55.559
 on the

00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:55.860
 edge

00:31:55.860 --> 00:31:56.180
 anyway

00:31:56.180 --> 00:31:56.660
 because

00:31:56.660 --> 00:31:57.360
 the

00:31:57.360 --> 00:31:57.900
 faith

00:31:57.900 --> 00:31:58.160
 that they

00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:58.380
 have

00:31:58.380 --> 00:31:58.700
 is not

00:31:58.700 --> 00:31:59.220
 genuine

00:31:59.220 --> 00:32:00.079
 it hasn't

00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:00.299
 really

00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:01.259
 changed

00:32:01.259 --> 00:32:01.660
 their

00:32:01.660 --> 00:32:02.220
 hearts.

00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:05.000
 And

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:06.059
 because of

00:32:06.059 --> 00:32:06.220
 the

00:32:06.220 --> 00:32:07.079
 disappointments

00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:07.319
 and the

00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:07.860
 distractions

00:32:07.860 --> 00:32:09.259
 and the

00:32:09.259 --> 00:32:10.120
 discouragements

00:32:10.120 --> 00:32:11.700
 they are

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:12.079
 ready to

00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:12.400
 become

00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:13.180
 disconnected

00:32:13.180 --> 00:32:14.079
 and if

00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:14.360
 that

00:32:14.360 --> 00:32:14.940
 happens

00:32:14.940 --> 00:32:15.860
 if they

00:32:15.860 --> 00:32:16.339
 fall

00:32:16.339 --> 00:32:16.720
 over the

00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:16.960
 edge

00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:17.500
 if they

00:32:17.500 --> 00:32:17.940
 abandon

00:32:17.940 --> 00:32:18.220
 their

00:32:18.220 --> 00:32:18.579
 faith

00:32:18.579 --> 00:32:21.500
 what is

00:32:21.500 --> 00:32:21.700
 it

00:32:21.700 --> 00:32:23.220
 that's

00:32:23.220 --> 00:32:23.759
 impossible

00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:25.420
 it's

00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:25.920
 impossible

00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:27.200
 to

00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:27.880
 restore

00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:28.920
 them

00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:29.519
 again

00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.319
 to

00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:32.779
 repentance

00:32:32.779 --> 00:32:35.759
 the

00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:36.319
 repentance

00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:37.700
 that is

00:32:37.700 --> 00:32:37.960
 at the

00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:38.240
 very

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:38.640
 beginning

00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:39.079
 of the

00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:39.460
 journey

00:32:39.460 --> 00:32:40.039
 of faith

00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:41.319
 the

00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:41.779
 repentance

00:32:41.779 --> 00:32:42.339
 where I

00:32:42.339 --> 00:32:43.319
 change my

00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:43.579
 mind

00:32:43.579 --> 00:32:44.099
 about my

00:32:44.099 --> 00:32:44.400
 sin

00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:45.279
 because

00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:45.759
 God

00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:45.960
 has

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:46.160
 shone

00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:46.339
 his

00:32:46.339 --> 00:32:46.619
 light

00:32:46.619 --> 00:32:47.200
 upon it

00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:47.860
 and I

00:32:47.860 --> 00:32:48.120
 turn

00:32:48.120 --> 00:32:48.400
 away

00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:48.819
 from my

00:32:48.819 --> 00:32:49.039
 sin

00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:49.680
 and I

00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:50.100
 seek

00:32:50.100 --> 00:32:50.500
 to put

00:32:50.500 --> 00:32:50.700
 my

00:32:50.700 --> 00:32:51.039
 trust

00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:51.319
 in the

00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:51.519
 Lord

00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:51.819
 Jesus

00:32:51.819 --> 00:32:52.799
 there is

00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:53.120
 that

00:32:53.120 --> 00:32:55.380
 physical

00:32:55.380 --> 00:32:55.779
 turning

00:32:55.779 --> 00:32:56.059
 around

00:32:56.059 --> 00:32:56.279
 in the

00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:56.440
 Old

00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:56.819
 Testament

00:32:56.819 --> 00:32:58.160
 there is

00:32:58.160 --> 00:32:58.360
 that

00:32:58.360 --> 00:32:58.759
 heart

00:32:58.759 --> 00:32:59.120
 turning

00:32:59.120 --> 00:32:59.580
 around

00:32:59.580 --> 00:33:00.819
 in the

00:33:00.819 --> 00:33:01.100
 life

00:33:01.100 --> 00:33:01.299
 of

00:33:01.299 --> 00:33:01.660
 faith

00:33:01.660 --> 00:33:02.580
 in the

00:33:02.580 --> 00:33:02.740
 New

00:33:02.740 --> 00:33:03.259
 Testament

00:33:03.259 --> 00:33:04.360
 there is

00:33:04.360 --> 00:33:04.620
 that

00:33:04.620 --> 00:33:05.460
 repentance

00:33:05.460 --> 00:33:07.340
 and the

00:33:07.340 --> 00:33:07.799
 writer is

00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:08.180
 saying here

00:33:08.180 --> 00:33:09.279
 that if

00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:09.819
 there are

00:33:09.819 --> 00:33:10.319
 those

00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:12.419
 and they

00:33:12.419 --> 00:33:13.279
 did taste

00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:13.799
 something

00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:14.159
 of

00:33:14.159 --> 00:33:14.819
 Christian

00:33:14.819 --> 00:33:15.619
 experience

00:33:15.619 --> 00:33:16.939
 and it

00:33:16.939 --> 00:33:17.159
 didn't

00:33:17.159 --> 00:33:17.460
 really

00:33:17.460 --> 00:33:18.939
 reach

00:33:18.939 --> 00:33:19.220
 their

00:33:19.220 --> 00:33:19.779
 hearts

00:33:19.779 --> 00:33:22.659
 then if

00:33:22.659 --> 00:33:22.899
 they

00:33:22.899 --> 00:33:23.879
 subsequently

00:33:23.879 --> 00:33:24.879
 fall away

00:33:24.879 --> 00:33:25.819
 for whatever

00:33:25.819 --> 00:33:26.220
 reason

00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:27.519
 then it is

00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:28.200
 impossible

00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:28.700
 for them

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:30.019
 to be

00:33:30.019 --> 00:33:30.519
 restored

00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:31.019
 again

00:33:31.019 --> 00:33:31.359
 to

00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:32.559
 repentance

00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:34.960
 there is

00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:35.599
 no lifting

00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:36.159
 up what

00:33:36.159 --> 00:33:36.559
 has fallen

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:36.879
 down in

00:33:36.879 --> 00:33:37.319
 this case

00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.139
 but regularly

00:33:39.139 --> 00:33:39.559
 through the

00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:40.079
 Bible we

00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:40.500
 see that

00:33:40.500 --> 00:33:41.779
 God is

00:33:41.779 --> 00:33:42.279
 the person

00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:43.159
 who lifts

00:33:43.159 --> 00:33:43.599
 up those

00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:43.839
 who are

00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:44.599
 cast down

00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:45.539
 he lifts

00:33:45.539 --> 00:33:45.980
 up those

00:33:45.980 --> 00:33:46.919
 who fall

00:33:46.919 --> 00:33:48.460
 those who

00:33:48.460 --> 00:33:48.740
 are as

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:49.059
 genuine

00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:49.519
 people

00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:50.199
 but in

00:33:50.199 --> 00:33:50.879
 this case

00:33:50.879 --> 00:33:54.000
 they are

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:54.539
 a separate

00:33:54.539 --> 00:33:54.939
 case

00:33:54.939 --> 00:33:57.119
 they don't

00:33:57.119 --> 00:33:57.559
 have the

00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:57.899
 genuine

00:33:57.899 --> 00:33:58.379
 faith

00:33:58.379 --> 00:33:59.619
 they have

00:33:59.619 --> 00:34:00.139
 claims

00:34:00.139 --> 00:34:01.699
 they could

00:34:01.699 --> 00:34:02.539
 be confused

00:34:02.539 --> 00:34:03.599
 but they

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:04.119
 don't have

00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:04.899
 the genuine

00:34:04.899 --> 00:34:05.359
 faith

00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:06.259
 and if

00:34:06.259 --> 00:34:06.759
 they fall

00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:07.119
 away

00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:08.319
 they cannot

00:34:08.319 --> 00:34:09.360
 be restored

00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:10.240
 it is

00:34:10.240 --> 00:34:11.140
 impossible

00:34:11.140 --> 00:34:12.579
 and it is

00:34:12.579 --> 00:34:13.000
 impossible

00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:13.460
 he says

00:34:13.460 --> 00:34:14.480
 because

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:17.000
 they are

00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:17.519
 crucifying

00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:18.160
 once again

00:34:18.160 --> 00:34:19.059
 the son of

00:34:19.059 --> 00:34:19.460
 God to

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:19.760
 their own

00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:20.099
 harm

00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:21.200
 and told him

00:34:21.200 --> 00:34:21.700
 up to

00:34:21.700 --> 00:34:23.000
 contempt

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:25.420
 which of

00:34:25.420 --> 00:34:25.639
 course

00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:26.219
 literally

00:34:26.219 --> 00:34:27.460
 cannot

00:34:27.460 --> 00:34:28.260
 happen

00:34:28.260 --> 00:34:30.300
 Jesus died

00:34:30.300 --> 00:34:30.699
 for sin

00:34:30.699 --> 00:34:31.199
 once

00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:32.559
 and he

00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:33.119
 will return

00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:33.760
 at the

00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:34.139
 end of

00:34:34.139 --> 00:34:34.579
 this age

00:34:34.579 --> 00:34:34.940
 as we read

00:34:34.940 --> 00:34:35.280
 in chapter

00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:35.579
 9

00:34:35.579 --> 00:34:36.119
 at the

00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:36.380
 end of

00:34:36.380 --> 00:34:36.820
 this age

00:34:36.820 --> 00:34:37.420
 without

00:34:37.420 --> 00:34:37.960
 sin

00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:39.579
 he will

00:34:39.579 --> 00:34:40.179
 come to

00:34:40.179 --> 00:34:40.699
 save his

00:34:40.699 --> 00:34:41.019
 people

00:34:41.019 --> 00:34:42.300
 he died

00:34:42.300 --> 00:34:42.920
 once

00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:43.860
 for sin

00:34:43.860 --> 00:34:45.980
 but what

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:46.300
 the writer

00:34:46.300 --> 00:34:46.820
 does mean

00:34:46.820 --> 00:34:47.559
 is that

00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:48.300
 when this

00:34:48.300 --> 00:34:48.920
 happens

00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:50.800
 the falling

00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:51.220
 away

00:34:51.220 --> 00:34:52.579
 leads to

00:34:52.579 --> 00:34:52.900
 them

00:34:52.900 --> 00:34:53.640
 aligning

00:34:53.640 --> 00:34:54.320
 themselves

00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:55.840
 with the

00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:56.579
 kind of

00:34:56.579 --> 00:34:57.059
 people

00:34:57.059 --> 00:34:58.200
 that actually

00:34:58.200 --> 00:34:58.900
 hated the

00:34:58.900 --> 00:34:59.420
 Lord Jesus

00:34:59.420 --> 00:35:00.680
 and crucified

00:35:00.680 --> 00:35:01.480
 him on

00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:02.099
 Calvary's

00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:02.440
 cross

00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:04.140
 aligning

00:35:04.140 --> 00:35:04.700
 themselves

00:35:04.700 --> 00:35:05.900
 with those

00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:07.880
 who are

00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:08.460
 the enemies

00:35:08.460 --> 00:35:09.539
 of Jesus

00:35:09.539 --> 00:35:10.920
 and who

00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:11.160
 are the

00:35:11.160 --> 00:35:11.599
 enemies

00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:13.059
 of God's

00:35:13.059 --> 00:35:13.700
 kingdom

00:35:13.699 --> 00:35:16.119
 and there

00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:16.439
 is

00:35:16.439 --> 00:35:18.719
 an example

00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:19.519
 in chapter

00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:19.919
 11

00:35:19.919 --> 00:35:20.719
 and chapter

00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:21.439
 12 of

00:35:21.439 --> 00:35:21.919
 this letter

00:35:21.919 --> 00:35:23.000
 and it's

00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:24.079
 the example

00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:24.819
 of

00:35:24.819 --> 00:35:26.659
 Esau

00:35:26.659 --> 00:35:28.480
 the brother

00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:29.019
 of Jacob

00:35:29.019 --> 00:35:31.980
 he sold

00:35:31.980 --> 00:35:32.539
 the blessing

00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:33.559
 he sold

00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:34.319
 the birthright

00:35:34.319 --> 00:35:36.019
 they were

00:35:36.019 --> 00:35:36.619
 meaningless

00:35:36.619 --> 00:35:37.219
 he didn't

00:35:37.219 --> 00:35:37.639
 see any

00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:38.259
 value in

00:35:38.259 --> 00:35:38.500
 them

00:35:38.500 --> 00:35:42.559
 but though

00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:42.799
 he

00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:43.539
 sorted

00:35:43.539 --> 00:35:44.880
 with tears

00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:45.539
 afterwards

00:35:45.539 --> 00:35:47.039
 there was

00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:47.860
 no place

00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:48.660
 for him

00:35:48.660 --> 00:35:49.260
 to have

00:35:49.260 --> 00:35:49.460
 them

00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:50.300
 restored

00:35:50.300 --> 00:35:53.600
 and that's

00:35:53.600 --> 00:35:54.100
 an awful

00:35:54.100 --> 00:35:54.960
 place to be

00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:57.260
 that I

00:35:57.260 --> 00:35:57.780
 can

00:35:57.780 --> 00:35:59.019
 fall away

00:35:59.019 --> 00:35:59.500
 from where

00:35:59.500 --> 00:36:00.019
 I am

00:36:00.019 --> 00:36:01.660
 and be in a

00:36:01.660 --> 00:36:02.140
 place where

00:36:02.140 --> 00:36:02.900
 I cannot be

00:36:02.900 --> 00:36:03.539
 restored

00:36:03.539 --> 00:36:04.800
 and like

00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:05.220
 Esau

00:36:05.220 --> 00:36:06.080
 I come to

00:36:06.080 --> 00:36:06.500
 the place

00:36:06.500 --> 00:36:07.260
 where I

00:36:07.260 --> 00:36:08.220
 suddenly realize

00:36:08.219 --> 00:36:09.119
 what I've

00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:09.639
 lost

00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:11.819
 and yet

00:36:11.819 --> 00:36:13.279
 it's without

00:36:13.279 --> 00:36:13.939
 my reach

00:36:13.939 --> 00:36:15.759
 it's out

00:36:15.759 --> 00:36:16.319
 there and I

00:36:16.319 --> 00:36:16.980
 let it go

00:36:16.980 --> 00:36:18.259
 I turned my

00:36:18.259 --> 00:36:19.000
 back upon it

00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:20.419
 and it's

00:36:20.419 --> 00:36:21.139
 no longer

00:36:21.139 --> 00:36:22.439
 available

00:36:22.439 --> 00:36:23.519
 to me

00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:25.959
 the reflection

00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:29.639
 I'm going

00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:30.119
 to close

00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:31.800
 with a

00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:32.240
 reflection

00:36:32.240 --> 00:36:33.039
 from personal

00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:33.639
 experience

00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:34.119
 which I

00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:34.559
 don't do

00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:34.940
 often

00:36:34.940 --> 00:36:36.960
 but when

00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:37.940
 I was

00:36:37.940 --> 00:36:38.420
 struggling

00:36:38.420 --> 00:36:39.280
 and trying

00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:40.400
 to seek

00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:40.920
 the Lord

00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:42.300
 and trying

00:36:42.300 --> 00:36:43.179
 to put

00:36:43.179 --> 00:36:43.820
 my trust

00:36:43.820 --> 00:36:44.320
 in the Lord

00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:44.659
 Jesus

00:36:44.659 --> 00:36:45.980
 and struggling

00:36:45.980 --> 00:36:46.519
 with all that

00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:47.139
 was happening

00:36:47.139 --> 00:36:48.159
 around me

00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:49.960
 I found

00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:50.460
 myself in

00:36:50.460 --> 00:36:50.940
 a place

00:36:50.940 --> 00:36:51.820
 and the

00:36:51.820 --> 00:36:52.079
 following

00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:52.579
 morning I

00:36:52.579 --> 00:36:53.139
 woke up

00:36:53.139 --> 00:36:54.500
 from that

00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:54.900
 place

00:36:54.900 --> 00:36:55.900
 and I

00:36:55.900 --> 00:36:56.539
 realized

00:36:56.539 --> 00:36:58.300
 that unless

00:36:58.300 --> 00:36:59.240
 I straightened

00:36:59.240 --> 00:36:59.639
 out my

00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:00.059
 life

00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:01.000
 that the

00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:01.680
 most precious

00:37:01.680 --> 00:37:02.300
 thing

00:37:02.300 --> 00:37:03.019
 that I

00:37:03.019 --> 00:37:03.400
 could see

00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:03.740
 in life

00:37:03.740 --> 00:37:04.119
 would be

00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:04.639
 lost to

00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:04.840
 me

00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:05.980
 it was

00:37:05.980 --> 00:37:06.480
 reflecting

00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:07.099
 on something

00:37:07.099 --> 00:37:07.720
 like this

00:37:07.720 --> 00:37:08.940
 this is

00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:09.260
 what I

00:37:09.260 --> 00:37:09.639
 want more

00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:10.220
 than anything

00:37:10.220 --> 00:37:11.220
 and I'm

00:37:11.220 --> 00:37:11.740
 not now

00:37:11.740 --> 00:37:11.980
 going to

00:37:11.980 --> 00:37:12.539
 let anything

00:37:12.539 --> 00:37:13.180
 else get

00:37:13.180 --> 00:37:13.639
 in the way

00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:14.019
 of that

00:37:14.019 --> 00:37:15.599
 so I

00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:15.960
 give my

00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:16.380
 life

00:37:16.380 --> 00:37:17.680
 to seeking

00:37:17.680 --> 00:37:18.680
 to know

00:37:18.680 --> 00:37:19.139
 the Lord

00:37:19.139 --> 00:37:19.500
 Jesus

00:37:19.500 --> 00:37:20.700
 and perhaps

00:37:20.700 --> 00:37:21.519
 you may be

00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:21.980
 like that

00:37:21.980 --> 00:37:22.559
 this evening

00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:23.980
 struggling

00:37:23.980 --> 00:37:25.240
 with faith

00:37:25.240 --> 00:37:25.699
 with issues

00:37:25.699 --> 00:37:26.219
 of faith

00:37:26.219 --> 00:37:26.960
 struggling

00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:27.320
 and coming

00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:27.740
 to put your

00:37:27.740 --> 00:37:28.280
 trust in

00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:28.579
 the Lord

00:37:28.579 --> 00:37:28.940
 Jesus

00:37:28.940 --> 00:37:30.760
 well if

00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:31.240
 you are

00:37:31.240 --> 00:37:32.300
 God is

00:37:32.300 --> 00:37:33.079
 telling you

00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:33.440
 tonight

00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:35.539
 don't let

00:37:35.539 --> 00:37:36.400
 that go

00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:38.139
 don't shut

00:37:38.139 --> 00:37:38.820
 that door

00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:40.539
 pray that

00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:41.119
 God will

00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:42.199
 will help

00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:42.699
 you through

00:37:42.699 --> 00:37:43.400
 that process

00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:44.420
 and will

00:37:44.420 --> 00:37:44.760
 bring you

00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:45.199
 through the

00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:45.659
 door into

00:37:45.659 --> 00:37:46.139
 his kingdom

00:37:46.139 --> 00:37:47.800
 and be

00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:49.340
 in the place

00:37:49.340 --> 00:37:49.699
 with the

00:37:49.699 --> 00:37:50.219
 people of

00:37:50.219 --> 00:37:50.480
 God

00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:51.039
 concerning

00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:51.360
 whom it

00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:51.679
 is through

00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:52.480
 that it

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:53.339
 is impossible

00:37:53.339 --> 00:37:53.899
 to get

00:37:53.899 --> 00:37:54.279
 them out

00:37:54.279 --> 00:37:54.519
 of the

00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:54.779
 kingdom

00:37:54.779 --> 00:37:55.879
 and that

00:37:55.879 --> 00:37:56.159
 it is

00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:56.619
 impossible

00:37:56.619 --> 00:37:57.379
 for anyone

00:37:57.379 --> 00:37:58.299
 to take

00:37:58.299 --> 00:37:58.679
 them out

00:37:58.679 --> 00:37:59.379
 of the

00:37:59.379 --> 00:37:59.799
 hands

00:37:59.799 --> 00:38:00.819
 of God

00:38:00.819 --> 00:38:02.199
 may God

00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:02.699
 help us

00:38:02.699 --> 00:38:03.259
 to review

00:38:03.259 --> 00:38:04.179
 may help

00:38:04.179 --> 00:38:04.739
 us to hear

00:38:04.739 --> 00:38:05.419
 the recommendation

00:38:05.419 --> 00:38:07.019
 and may help

00:38:07.019 --> 00:38:08.199
 us to reflect

00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:09.299
 for the

00:38:09.299 --> 00:38:09.859
 improvement

00:38:09.859 --> 00:38:10.299
 of our

00:38:10.299 --> 00:38:10.619
 faith

00:38:10.619 --> 00:38:11.619
 and for the

00:38:11.619 --> 00:38:12.279
 transformation

00:38:12.279 --> 00:38:13.059
 of our

00:38:13.059 --> 00:38:13.559
 everyday

00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:14.000
 lives

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:14.339
 may God

00:38:14.339 --> 00:38:14.579
 bless his

00:38:14.579 --> 00:38:14.739
 word

00:38:14.739 --> 00:38:15.119
 let us

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:15.519
 pray

00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:17.219
 most

00:38:17.219 --> 00:38:17.599
 gracious

00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:18.000
 God

00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:18.219
 we

00:38:18.219 --> 00:38:18.880
 rejoice

00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:19.460
 in you

00:38:19.460 --> 00:38:19.719

00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:21.300
 speaks

00:38:21.300 --> 00:38:21.559
 into

00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:25.840
 dangers

00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:26.280
 that we

 our
