00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.020
 Matthew 21, as Bo said, from verse 18, and we'll be reading to the end of the chapter.

00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:12.660
 In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he became hungry.

00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:19.559
! And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it, and found nothing on it, but only leaves.

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:23.559
 And he said to it, May no fruit ever come from you again.

00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:26.080
 And the fig tree withered at once.

00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:32.100
 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How did the fig tree wither at once?

00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:38.759
 And Jesus answered them, Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt,

00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:44.140
 you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain,

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.719
 Be taken up and thrown into the sea, it will happen.

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.259
 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive if you have faith.

00:00:52.259 --> 00:00:59.839
 And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching,

00:01:00.579 --> 00:01:04.039
 and said, By what authority are you doing these things?

00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:05.900
 And who gave you this authority?

00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.900
 Jesus answered them, I also will ask you one question,

00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:16.039
 and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.900
 The baptism of John, from where did it come?

00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:21.960
 From heaven or from man?

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:25.560
 And they discussed it among themselves, saying,

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.100
 If we say from heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?

00:01:30.740 --> 00:01:35.880
 But if we say from man, we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was a prophet.

00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.820
 So they answered Jesus, We do not know.

00:01:39.819 --> 00:01:45.199
 And he said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

00:01:46.699 --> 00:01:47.659
 What do you think?

00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.479
 A man had two sons, and he went to the first and said,

00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:54.419
 Son, go and work in the vineyard today.

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.699
 And he answered, I will not.

00:01:57.419 --> 00:01:59.579
 But afterward he changed his mind and went.

00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:02.759
 And he went to the other son and said the same.

00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.439
 And he answered, I will, sir, but did not go.

00:02:07.399 --> 00:02:09.340
 Which of the two did the will of his father?

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:11.699
 They said the first.

00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:20.319
 Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.599
 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him.

00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.439
 But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him.

00:02:29.819 --> 00:02:34.819
 And even when you saw it, you did not afterward change your minds and believe him.

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:37.539
 Here another parable.

00:02:37.539 --> 00:02:48.819
 There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants and went into another country.

00:02:48.819 --> 00:02:54.739
 When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit.

00:02:55.699 --> 00:03:01.000
 And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:07.319
 Again, he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did the same to them.

00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:13.500
 Finally, he sent his son to them, saying, They will respect my son.

00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:18.719
 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, This is the heir.

00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:21.039
 Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.360
 And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:30.960
 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?

00:03:32.139 --> 00:03:39.340
 They said to him, He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.

00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:48.819
 Jesus said to them, Have you never read in the scriptures, The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone?

00:03:49.300 --> 00:03:52.780
 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes.

00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:01.099
 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits.

00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:08.000
 And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.

00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:15.240
 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them.

00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:21.420
 And although they were seeking to arrest him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet.

00:04:24.459 --> 00:04:28.379
 Good morning, everyone. My name is Dave. If you're visiting, I'm the pastor here.

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.759
 A warm welcome to you.

00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.040
 Well, let's pray as we come to God's word.

00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:33.120
 Amen.

00:04:39.339 --> 00:04:50.959
 Father, I ask that your word might break down wrong thinking in our minds and in our hearts,

00:04:51.779 --> 00:04:58.879
 and help us trust you in that, that you want to help us live and thrive.

00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:07.819
 Lord, we need your spirit's power to understand your word and what you're saying to us,

00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:11.060
 and to have that spiritual discernment.

00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.540
 So I ask for it now in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:22.600
 Well, this miracle of the cursing the fig tree, it's bizarre, isn't it?

00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:29.720
 Like, why Jesus would do it in the first place, like, is he just hangry?

00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:36.360
 It's just, does he just, it's bizarre that he does it in the first place.

00:05:36.540 --> 00:05:43.820
 And then Matthew wastes ink and precious parchment to record this for us and our instruction,

00:05:43.820 --> 00:05:47.280
 rather than all these other miracles he just sums up.

00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.659
 Like, oh, yeah, and Jesus killed many.

00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:56.359
 Like, why do we need to listen to this cursing of the fig tree?

00:05:57.119 --> 00:05:59.739
 If you're living in the same broken world that I am,

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.500
 most weeks we're just trying to keep our head above water.

00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:08.719
 Wouldn't your time be better spent listening to a podcast about financial planning or parenting

00:06:08.719 --> 00:06:10.779
 or look up the footy scores or something?

00:06:10.779 --> 00:06:13.619
 A fig tree, like, who cares?

00:06:13.739 --> 00:06:16.239
 Like, why should you and I care about this?

00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.299
 Well, let me ask a question.

00:06:21.359 --> 00:06:22.559
 Obviously, I do think you should care.

00:06:22.659 --> 00:06:24.159
 Please don't look up the footy scores.

00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:32.000
 But let me ask a question, and I don't want you to answer it too quick in your mind.

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:42.779
 Since God will only accept and is only pleased with fruit-producing people,

00:06:42.779 --> 00:06:48.259
 as God looks at your life, will he find fruit?

00:06:49.799 --> 00:06:52.579
 Or just green leaves?

00:06:54.779 --> 00:06:57.179
 Now, don't answer that too quickly, please.

00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:02.059
 There's some in this room you're going to have confidence of many years of serving God,

00:07:02.299 --> 00:07:07.159
 and others in this room you're going to feel like God could never find anything good in you.

00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.800
 Don't answer the question too quickly.

00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:11.580
 We need to listen to this passage first.

00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.120
 We need to know what the fruit is.

00:07:16.500 --> 00:07:18.240
 What is the fruit that God wants?

00:07:21.780 --> 00:07:23.540
 I've been asking myself that lately.

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.640
 Every now and then I'm just like, am I pleasing you, God?

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:40.060
 One of the things I'm learning going through Matthew this time is that the religious leaders didn't simply attack what Jesus came to build.

00:07:41.599 --> 00:07:43.399
 They are resisting him.

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.579
 But Jesus is on the offensive.

00:07:47.099 --> 00:07:52.139
 He came to destroy something as well as build something.

00:07:52.139 --> 00:07:58.180
 Something insidious and deadly.

00:07:59.919 --> 00:08:09.560
 He's condemning a counterfeit, a fake way of living for God, a fake love for God.

00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:19.240
 People who had false assurance, represented by these chief priests and rulers.

00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:23.900
 Our passage today ends with the pronouncement in verse 43.

00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:31.280
 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits.

00:08:33.419 --> 00:08:41.940
 This section is within a bigger section that ends in chapter 23 with Jesus pronouncing judgments, woes on these leaders.

00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.440
 He's come to destroy something.

00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:47.560
 He's confronting something.

00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:49.819
 Now he's not condemning Jews.

00:08:50.239 --> 00:08:51.639
 This is not anti-Semitism.

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:55.839
 I need to say this given our current social environment.

00:08:56.339 --> 00:08:57.259
 Jesus was a Jew.

00:08:57.599 --> 00:08:58.759
 The apostles were Jews.

00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.239
 The blind and lame who came to Jesus were Jews.

00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.399
 The children who worship him are Jews.

00:09:05.199 --> 00:09:12.059
 He's come to attack a counterfeit way of expressing love for God.

00:09:12.059 --> 00:09:21.039
 So how do we know if we here today, as a church, if we're truly listening to God's voice and obeying him?

00:09:21.099 --> 00:09:21.759
 How do we know?

00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.739
 Because these leaders, they know their Old Testament scriptures.

00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:31.840
 They could recite it to you better than any of us in this room, except for maybe Don.

00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.240
 They know their scriptures.

00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:41.600
 They could probably enter in a debate and we'd be intimidated.

00:09:41.600 --> 00:10:01.040
 The DNA of this counterfeit religious type is, I think, trying to sum it up, Jesus uses one phrase repeatedly in Matthew's Gospel, and that's hypocrite.

00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:09.059
 Now, all of us do not live up to God's ideals.

00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.839
 I do not live up to God's ideals.

00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:12.899
 That's not hypocrisy.

00:10:12.899 --> 00:10:17.919
 If our message is, I'm a sinner and I need a great saviour, that's not hypocrisy.

00:10:20.379 --> 00:10:23.659
 Hypocrite is a word for a mask that an actor would wear.

00:10:25.179 --> 00:10:29.659
 It's a performance for people to see and applaud.

00:10:29.659 --> 00:10:36.219
 But this section, I think we see how focused these leaders are on people and their praise.

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.039
 We see it in this section as well.

00:10:39.439 --> 00:10:41.319
 It starts and finishes with them.

00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.399
 They're fearing the crowds.

00:10:46.319 --> 00:10:49.179
 Their identity depends on the recognition of people.

00:10:49.179 --> 00:11:03.519
 So, like this fig tree bearing green leaves, there can be so much religious activity going on, but it's just making a show.

00:11:03.659 --> 00:11:05.859
 It's a performance for people to see it.

00:11:07.479 --> 00:11:11.159
 But as you look closer, as Jesus gets closer, there's no fruit at all.

00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:18.579
 I was once at this trampoline park.

00:11:20.319 --> 00:11:24.120
 You know where everyone breaks their legs and things, but a trampoline park.

00:11:24.419 --> 00:11:26.879
 And we were doing flips and stuff.

00:11:27.299 --> 00:11:28.480
 Well, some people were.

00:11:28.539 --> 00:11:29.779
 I was going to try and do a flip.

00:11:29.980 --> 00:11:30.980
 And I was about to go.

00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:33.740
 And then I realized at the last moment, no one's watching.

00:11:33.940 --> 00:11:34.460
 And I stopped.

00:11:36.300 --> 00:11:40.159
 It was just this weird moment in my life where I'm like, why did I stop?

00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:43.000
 Like, why didn't I just flip?

00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.139
 Or try to flip and probably land on my head.

00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:48.060
 But why didn't I do it for the love of the thing itself?

00:11:49.019 --> 00:11:51.980
 It was just this weird moment of introspection.

00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:56.000
 But we know that feeling, right?

00:12:00.060 --> 00:12:03.019
 We can do all this thing just for people to see.

00:12:04.539 --> 00:12:06.519
 There can be lots of religious activity.

00:12:07.180 --> 00:12:13.200
 But if it's just for people to see, it's making a show of being alive when there is zero fruit.

00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:21.820
 So as we, those of us who have grown up in the church and heard the Gospels many times,

00:12:21.920 --> 00:12:25.620
 we've got a bit of a danger when we hear about the chief priests and the Pharisees.

00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:34.980
 When we hear these enemies of Jesus, it's like we're watching a performance and we all know now's the time to boo, hiss.

00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:35.759
 Here's the enemy.

00:12:37.160 --> 00:12:40.400
 They're not just characters like, oh, there's the problem out there.

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:49.299
 I think so much attention is given to these guys because we need to look at the hypocrisy within ourselves.

00:12:50.199 --> 00:12:57.419
 Our own tendency to do things just for people's sight and not for God.

00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:02.799
 So what fruit is God looking for?

00:13:02.899 --> 00:13:05.699
 If you have your Bibles open, we've got a lot to go through today.

00:13:05.699 --> 00:13:06.860
 So verse 23.

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:11.200
 What fruit is God looking for?

00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:14.740
 I want to come back to verses 18 to 22 at the end.

00:13:15.340 --> 00:13:16.460
 So we're not skipping it.

00:13:16.539 --> 00:13:18.300
 But verse 23 to 27.

00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:23.120
 These leaders, they hold a legitimate office from God.

00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:30.300
 They're responsible for correct teaching and correct religious observance.

00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:33.039
 They sit on Moses' seat, Jesus says.

00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:38.219
 So when they ask, by what authority are you doing these things and who gave you this authority?

00:13:38.319 --> 00:13:40.620
 In one sense, it's a legitimate question.

00:13:41.019 --> 00:13:45.240
 It's their role to preserve true religion, to lead the way.

00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:54.620
 But the context and Matthew's gospel overall make it really clear that their intentions aren't pure.

00:13:54.620 --> 00:14:00.179
 They know where Jesus thinks he's getting his authority from.

00:14:00.419 --> 00:14:04.779
 The day before, he's ridden into Jerusalem on a donkey, declaring himself king.

00:14:05.500 --> 00:14:13.620
 He's gone into the temple and cleared out the outer court in the temple as if it's his own house.

00:14:14.659 --> 00:14:17.519
 He's done miracles inside the temple.

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:24.439
 He's received praise from children, redirecting praise from God to himself in the temple.

00:14:25.579 --> 00:14:27.759
 And he's now teaching in the temple.

00:14:28.199 --> 00:14:33.720
 There's no doubt about where he thinks he gets his authority from.

00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:37.879
 But their question is saying, where's your authority from?

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:39.299
 Because it sure ain't from us.

00:14:41.659 --> 00:14:44.019
 We are God's appointed authority.

00:14:44.019 --> 00:14:44.079
 We are God's authority.

00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:48.399
 They're confronting him.

00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:53.220
 But Jesus' response, I first thought he's kind of ducking and weaving like a boxer.

00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:54.120
 I don't think he is.

00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:58.120
 I think that was a wrong assumption.

00:14:58.759 --> 00:14:59.980
 He's not avoiding.

00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.159
 I think he's answering their question with his question.

00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:04.539
 He's not avoiding their question.

00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:09.379
 He's not like a school kid going, I'll tell you my secret if you tell me your secret.

00:15:10.299 --> 00:15:14.120
 His question is turning the tables on them.

00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:22.879
 His question is going to end up exposing why God is kicking them out of authority.

00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:25.980
 He's not on the defense.

00:15:26.379 --> 00:15:27.360
 He's on the offense.

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:33.039
 Where did John the Baptist come from?

00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.779
 Where does his authority come from?

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:36.240
 Heaven or from man?

00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:43.840
 The highest office in the Old Testament was not priest.

00:15:45.940 --> 00:15:50.080
 God ruled his people by prophet.

00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:52.639
 Prophet is the highest office.

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:54.740
 He rules by his word.

00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:56.980
 He sends prophet after prophet.

00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:59.940
 And he sent John.

00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.620
 And they rejected John's message of repentance and forgiveness of sin.

00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:07.000
 They had no need of repentance, they thought.

00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:14.500
 Jesus has exposed their problem.

00:16:14.920 --> 00:16:20.820
 Even while implicitly answering their claim, like, John is from heaven and I've got the same source.

00:16:20.820 --> 00:16:23.740
 So what fruit is God looking for?

00:16:25.100 --> 00:16:30.500
 Despite these religious people's green leaves, they did not listen.

00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:37.440
 They didn't listen to God's prophet, his messenger.

00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:49.120
 They weren't convicted to their heart by his voice.

00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:56.840
 You can know the Bible really, really well and not be listening.

00:17:03.060 --> 00:17:05.400
 And Jesus keeps pressing in on them.

00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.019
 He keeps exposing their problem.

00:17:08.360 --> 00:17:11.180
 And he does it in a very surprising way, doesn't he?

00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:19.420
 Like, if you want to take someone down in a debate, don't you find impressive, like, logical arguments?

00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:27.140
 Someone who just, on the spot, can just bring an argument together and great rhetoric, great knowledge,

00:17:27.580 --> 00:17:30.900
 attacks your point and tears someone down.

00:17:31.900 --> 00:17:33.200
 He uses stories.

00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:41.360
 It's, it's, the weapon he uses is parables, stories.

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.940
 I love that because I think it just shows the theme through scripture.

00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:53.220
 God loves to work through what the world counts as of weak.

00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.900
 He uses these little children's stories to bring them down.

00:17:57.900 --> 00:18:08.080
 someone described the power of parables like if you're running 10 minutes late for a school

00:18:08.080 --> 00:18:16.680
 musical you're running late you it's a bit dark outside you you think you're entering the back

00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:23.320
 door so that you can just sneak in the back and and be in the audience watching the story

00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:30.559
 but to your horror you walk in on stage and the lights are on you and you're the one being exposed

00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:35.879
 that's the power of these stories you think you're just listening to this

00:18:35.879 --> 00:18:41.659
 harmless story but then you find yourself the lights are on you

00:18:41.659 --> 00:18:53.299
 you're drawn in in both of these parables jesus draws a response from maybe from

00:18:53.299 --> 00:18:57.500
 the crowds but maybe even from the chief priests themselves it's not super clear

00:18:57.500 --> 00:19:05.339
 so here here's the first story what do you think a man had two sons and he went to the first and said

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:12.940
 son go and work in the vineyard today and he answered i will not but afterward he changed his mind and

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:20.839
 went and he went to the other son and said the same and he answered i go sir but did not go

00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:23.919
 which of the two did the will of his father

00:19:23.919 --> 00:19:33.119
 now we who have grown up in the west we love our personal freedom and we treat our parents poorly

00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:39.740
 all the time nah i'm not doing that it's but i think if you if you've grown up in a traditional

00:19:39.740 --> 00:19:46.240
 culture like a family where a patriarch matriarch is the center of the family your identity and

00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:53.339
 your will for the day and agenda is is revolves around them you you get the offense here like

00:19:53.339 --> 00:20:00.700
 to to to just go i will not it is so disrespectful

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:10.700
 whereas the second son is respectful i will sir i will

00:20:10.700 --> 00:20:15.539
 but who does the will of his father who listened

00:20:15.539 --> 00:20:19.980
 who is the father pleased with

00:20:19.980 --> 00:20:26.799
 the disrespectful son

00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:31.860
 who repents that's who the father is pleased with

00:20:31.860 --> 00:20:35.059
 not this not making a show

00:20:35.059 --> 00:20:38.859
 of being respectful to god now repentance

00:20:38.859 --> 00:20:43.519
 means a change of mind which which we got

00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:49.980
 in the story itself it changed his mind it's a change of intention it involves conviction

00:20:49.980 --> 00:20:53.460
 of doing wrong and then changing

00:20:53.460 --> 00:21:00.240
 so i don't think we should see this disrespectful son begrudgingly going and doing the will

00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.380
 but changing wanting to do the father's will

00:21:04.380 --> 00:21:16.819
 i remember this time as a teenager my parents are going to call me after this illustration later today

00:21:16.819 --> 00:21:19.839
 but my parents needed to go out and um

00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:23.420
 they were expecting someone to drop something off i think

00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:26.160
 at our house and they told me just stay home

00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:31.960
 um this is really important that uh we told them that you'll be home

00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:35.300
 but as soon as they left i got on my push bike

00:21:35.300 --> 00:21:38.140
 and rode as fast as i could to mackers

00:21:38.140 --> 00:21:41.519
 which like it was only 10 minutes away i was pretty quick

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.220
 and as i waited across the main street

00:21:45.220 --> 00:21:47.259
 who should be coming in the car

00:21:47.259 --> 00:21:50.019
 but my parents

00:21:50.019 --> 00:21:55.980
 i broke their trust pretty badly that day

00:21:55.980 --> 00:21:57.740
 because to their face

00:21:57.740 --> 00:21:59.740
 i was obedient

00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:02.620
 i was respectful

00:22:02.620 --> 00:22:04.079
 but in my heart

00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.720
 i was preparing to go to mackers

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:12.480
 that's how god feels towards

00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:15.860
 some of this

00:22:15.860 --> 00:22:18.380
 so much religion going on

00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:22.920
 who cares it's just green leaves

00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.560
 he actually wants us to listen

00:22:26.560 --> 00:22:37.180
 jesus drives the point home

00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:40.460
 when he says truly he says

00:22:40.460 --> 00:22:43.279
 this is something you gotta hear

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:45.560
 you base your life on this

00:22:45.560 --> 00:22:46.120
 truly

00:22:46.120 --> 00:22:50.580
 i say to you the tax collectors and the prostitutes

00:22:50.579 --> 00:22:52.679
 go into the kingdom of god before you

00:22:52.679 --> 00:22:56.480
 it might be able to translate that

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.379
 and you do not go in

00:22:58.379 --> 00:23:02.079
 you outwardly appear good

00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:06.139
 you're not in the way of righteousness

00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:08.300
 john showed you the way of righteousness

00:23:08.300 --> 00:23:11.900
 you were too good to need forgiveness

00:23:11.900 --> 00:23:13.880
 you you don't need to repent

00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:14.840
 but hear me

00:23:14.840 --> 00:23:17.920
 it's the disrespectful sons of the world

00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:20.160
 who god is pleased with

00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:21.020
 when they listen

00:23:21.020 --> 00:23:23.520
 and receive forgiveness

00:23:23.520 --> 00:23:24.840
 and change their mind

00:23:24.840 --> 00:23:25.840
 and want to live for him

00:23:25.840 --> 00:23:29.460
 repentance is the fruit god wants

00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:31.559
 not a show

00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:36.079
 actual conviction of sin

00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.200
 is the fruit of listening to him

00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:48.400
 he drives the point home for these chief priests

00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:48.620
 he's like

00:23:48.620 --> 00:23:50.960
 you saw the changed lives

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:52.400
 of these tax collectors

00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.579
 this is the scum of society

00:23:54.579 --> 00:23:56.680
 i don't know who you think the scum are

00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:59.279
 maybe the ceo's making

00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.560
 300 million dollars

00:24:02.560 --> 00:24:03.980
 i'm not sure who you picture

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:05.500
 but the scum

00:24:05.500 --> 00:24:06.799
 come in

00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:07.759
 ahead of you

00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:12.400
 you saw their changed lives

00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.860
 only god could have brought that about

00:24:14.860 --> 00:24:16.720
 and you still didn't listen to john

00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:20.539
 in their goodness

00:24:20.539 --> 00:24:22.700
 in their sense of superiority to others

00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:24.340
 they rejected john's message

00:24:24.340 --> 00:24:25.900
 of god's free grace

00:24:25.900 --> 00:24:27.000
 his forgiveness

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:37.980
 i wonder who the kinds of people are

00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:40.420
 you think god can't love as much as you

00:24:40.420 --> 00:24:45.019
 it's going to be different for all of us

00:24:45.019 --> 00:24:50.780
 i won't get your response by the way

00:24:50.780 --> 00:24:52.560
 just have a think about it

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:55.079
 but whenever we think like that

00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:58.819
 it can only come

00:24:58.819 --> 00:25:03.559
 from a belief that i'm offering god something more than them

00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:05.079
 i'm superior

00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:09.379
 we've got to grow in this message of grace

00:25:09.380 --> 00:25:14.660
 if we actually hear the message of grace

00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:18.980
 i'm the worst person i know

00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:21.840
 because i know my own thoughts

00:25:21.840 --> 00:25:23.120
 i don't know your thoughts

00:25:23.120 --> 00:25:25.260
 i know mine

00:25:25.259 --> 00:25:32.519
 and here's the good news

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:35.339
 such hopeful news of this parable

00:25:35.339 --> 00:25:38.440
 is god cares where you end up

00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:39.860
 some of some of you might

00:25:39.860 --> 00:25:40.559
 some of us

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:43.160
 have these huge sins in our past

00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:45.019
 that you think god can never forgive you

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:47.000
 he can

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:49.019
 he cares where you end up

00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:50.320
 the past

00:25:50.320 --> 00:25:53.259
 grace means the past

00:25:53.259 --> 00:25:55.700
 i've got to be careful

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:57.019
 i'm just going to go for it

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:58.360
 and correct me later

00:25:58.360 --> 00:25:59.600
 but it doesn't matter

00:25:59.600 --> 00:26:02.920
 it's where you end up

00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:05.259
 he has the power to change

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:10.820
 it's the disrespectful sons of the world

00:26:10.820 --> 00:26:12.240
 who hear god's voice

00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:13.140
 and are convicted

00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:14.440
 and repent

00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:16.500
 they're the ones god's pleased with

00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:18.400
 that's the fruit he's looking for

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:20.259
 a broken

00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:22.420
 a broken heart

00:26:22.420 --> 00:26:25.240
 is the kind of worship he wants

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:27.920
 psalm 51 tells us

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:33.940
 jesus keeps going

00:26:33.940 --> 00:26:34.800
 he's on the offensive

00:26:34.800 --> 00:26:36.220
 he tells another story

00:26:36.220 --> 00:26:38.480
 from verse 33

00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:40.320
 now he's

00:26:40.320 --> 00:26:41.259
 he's already mentioned

00:26:41.259 --> 00:26:42.840
 vineyard

00:26:42.840 --> 00:26:45.380
 and he sticks with that theme

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:47.320
 he's not just plucking this out of nowhere

00:26:47.320 --> 00:26:49.060
 vineyard was

00:26:49.060 --> 00:26:50.840
 hugely significant

00:26:50.840 --> 00:26:53.960
 to describe israel

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:54.740
 let me read

00:26:54.740 --> 00:26:56.900
 i should have had a bookmark here

00:26:56.900 --> 00:26:58.300
 but isaiah 5

00:26:58.300 --> 00:27:06.660
 my beloved

00:27:06.660 --> 00:27:07.800
 speaking of the lord

00:27:07.800 --> 00:27:09.180
 my beloved had a vineyard

00:27:09.180 --> 00:27:10.660
 on a very fertile hill

00:27:10.660 --> 00:27:11.340
 he dug it

00:27:11.340 --> 00:27:12.660
 and cleared it of stones

00:27:12.660 --> 00:27:13.540
 and planted it

00:27:13.540 --> 00:27:14.780
 with choice vines

00:27:14.780 --> 00:27:16.720
 he built a watchtower

00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:17.580
 in the midst of it

00:27:17.580 --> 00:27:19.340
 and hewed out a wine vat in it

00:27:19.340 --> 00:27:20.140
 and he looked for it

00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:21.100
 to yield grapes

00:27:21.100 --> 00:27:23.380
 but it yielded

00:27:23.380 --> 00:27:25.000
 wild grapes

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.880
 for the vineyard

00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:28.480
 of the lord

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:29.059
 of hosts

00:27:29.059 --> 00:27:29.839
 is the house

00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:30.500
 of israel

00:27:30.500 --> 00:27:32.019
 and the men of judah

00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:33.440
 are his pleasant planting

00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:35.299
 and he looked for justice

00:27:35.299 --> 00:27:37.579
 but behold

00:27:37.579 --> 00:27:38.279
 bloodshed

00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:40.400
 for righteousness

00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:43.660
 but behold

00:27:43.660 --> 00:27:44.480
 an outcry

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:50.420
 these hearers would have

00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:51.680
 known

00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:52.059
 what

00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:54.500
 jesus was

00:27:54.500 --> 00:27:55.240
 saying

00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:58.460
 the purpose

00:27:58.460 --> 00:27:59.240
 of israel

00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:00.700
 of god creating israel

00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:01.500
 was to create

00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:02.839
 a holy nation

00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:04.339
 godly lives

00:28:04.339 --> 00:28:06.779
 the owner

00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:07.400
 of the vineyard

00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:08.539
 creates it himself

00:28:08.539 --> 00:28:09.400
 he owns it

00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:10.559
 it's a gift

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:11.700
 he does everything

00:28:11.700 --> 00:28:12.240
 for it

00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:13.420
 it's pure gift

00:28:13.420 --> 00:28:14.779
 he leases it out

00:28:14.779 --> 00:28:15.340
 to tenants

00:28:15.340 --> 00:28:16.860
 who should be paying

00:28:16.860 --> 00:28:17.360
 the rent

00:28:17.360 --> 00:28:20.140
 of giving the fruit

00:28:20.140 --> 00:28:20.840
 in its season

00:28:20.840 --> 00:28:21.840
 the master

00:28:21.840 --> 00:28:22.500
 is owed it

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:23.380
 but they beat

00:28:23.380 --> 00:28:24.160
 kill

00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:25.100
 stone

00:28:25.100 --> 00:28:26.320
 the servants

00:28:26.320 --> 00:28:27.039
 sent to it

00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:29.700
 the prophets

00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:30.160
 sent

00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.019
 and this story

00:28:33.019 --> 00:28:34.080
 draws the hearers

00:28:34.080 --> 00:28:34.680
 to pronounce

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:35.500
 their own

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:36.039
 judgment

00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:38.800
 what will the

00:28:38.800 --> 00:28:39.539
 master of the

00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:40.360
 vineyard do

00:28:40.360 --> 00:28:41.460
 to such tenants

00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:45.539
 he will put

00:28:45.539 --> 00:28:46.319
 those wretches

00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:47.140
 to a miserable

00:28:47.140 --> 00:28:47.579
 death

00:28:47.579 --> 00:28:48.140
 and let out

00:28:48.140 --> 00:28:48.660
 the vineyard

00:28:48.660 --> 00:28:49.660
 to other tenants

00:28:49.660 --> 00:28:50.420
 who will give him

00:28:50.420 --> 00:28:50.900
 the fruits

00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:51.860
 in their season

00:28:51.860 --> 00:28:59.700
 i think there's

00:28:59.700 --> 00:29:00.700
 three things

00:29:00.700 --> 00:29:01.220
 we learn

00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:02.180
 from this parable

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:03.900
 jesus is answering

00:29:03.900 --> 00:29:05.340
 the original question

00:29:05.340 --> 00:29:06.579
 of his authority

00:29:06.579 --> 00:29:07.539
 where's your authority

00:29:07.539 --> 00:29:08.019
 come from

00:29:08.019 --> 00:29:10.259
 as you know

00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:11.240
 australia

00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:12.319
 expelled the

00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:13.000
 iranian

00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:13.819
 ambassador

00:29:13.819 --> 00:29:14.980
 recently

00:29:14.980 --> 00:29:16.079
 now how you

00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:16.639
 treat an

00:29:16.639 --> 00:29:17.099
 ambassador

00:29:17.099 --> 00:29:18.619
 is how you

00:29:18.619 --> 00:29:19.019
 treat

00:29:19.019 --> 00:29:20.099
 the supreme

00:29:20.099 --> 00:29:20.440
 leader

00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:25.599
 but jesus

00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:26.579
 is inferring

00:29:26.579 --> 00:29:27.220
 a world

00:29:27.220 --> 00:29:27.980
 of difference

00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:28.799
 for himself

00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:32.220
 when the

00:29:32.220 --> 00:29:32.639
 vineyard

00:29:32.639 --> 00:29:32.919
 owner

00:29:32.919 --> 00:29:33.379
 sends

00:29:33.379 --> 00:29:34.200
 his son

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:36.559
 he's the

00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:37.759
 he is the

00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:38.079
 owner

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:38.379
 he

00:29:38.379 --> 00:29:39.799
 he is the

00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:40.299
 heir

00:29:40.299 --> 00:29:41.379
 it's

00:29:41.379 --> 00:29:42.659
 he's not

00:29:42.659 --> 00:29:43.180
 just an

00:29:43.180 --> 00:29:43.599
 ambassador

00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:44.639
 he's the

00:29:44.639 --> 00:29:44.960
 owner

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:49.259
 that's his

00:29:49.259 --> 00:29:49.680
 authority

00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:52.559
 so he is

00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:53.299
 not holding

00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:53.779
 his punches

00:29:53.779 --> 00:29:54.379
 he's

00:29:54.379 --> 00:29:54.759
 he's

00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:56.720
 he's

00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:57.099
 saying

00:29:57.099 --> 00:29:57.759
 his authority

00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:58.220
 the second

00:29:58.220 --> 00:29:58.680
 thing i think

00:29:58.680 --> 00:29:59.019
 we learn

00:29:59.019 --> 00:29:59.339
 from this

00:29:59.339 --> 00:29:59.599
 parable

00:29:59.599 --> 00:29:59.920
 is

00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:02.200
 something of

00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:02.900
 the fundamental

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:04.180
 sin of the

00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:05.000
 religious leaders

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:06.240
 why they don't

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:07.039
 like to listen

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.000
 they're tenants

00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:13.059
 they forgot

00:30:13.059 --> 00:30:14.779
 it's all gift

00:30:14.779 --> 00:30:17.680
 and god is

00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:18.299
 owed

00:30:18.299 --> 00:30:20.619
 everything they

00:30:20.619 --> 00:30:21.279
 have is

00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:22.039
 owing to god

00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:22.259
 and

00:30:22.259 --> 00:30:23.619
 but when they

00:30:23.619 --> 00:30:24.339
 see the son

00:30:24.339 --> 00:30:24.740
 coming

00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:26.059
 come let's

00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:26.619
 kill him

00:30:26.619 --> 00:30:27.099
 and he'll be

00:30:27.099 --> 00:30:27.680
 ours

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:28.100
 they want

00:30:28.100 --> 00:30:28.240
 to be

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:28.420
 the

00:30:28.420 --> 00:30:28.860
 owners

00:30:28.860 --> 00:30:29.720
 they're

00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:30.200
 refusing

00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:30.560
 to be

00:30:30.560 --> 00:30:31.019
 tenants

00:30:31.019 --> 00:30:33.340
 they hate

00:30:33.340 --> 00:30:33.900
 anyone who

00:30:33.900 --> 00:30:34.480
 reminds them

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:36.360
 that they

00:30:36.360 --> 00:30:36.820
 belong to

00:30:36.820 --> 00:30:37.100
 god

00:30:37.100 --> 00:30:38.680
 everything is

00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:39.060
 gift

00:30:39.060 --> 00:30:39.820
 pure gift

00:30:39.820 --> 00:30:40.259
 from him

00:30:40.259 --> 00:30:40.820
 and everything

00:30:40.820 --> 00:30:41.320
 we have

00:30:41.320 --> 00:30:41.820
 is for

00:30:41.820 --> 00:30:42.120
 him

00:30:42.120 --> 00:30:43.000
 and so

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:43.400
 they killed

00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:43.940
 the prophets

00:30:43.940 --> 00:30:46.279
 every time

00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:46.660
 they bring

00:30:46.660 --> 00:30:47.340
 that message

00:30:47.340 --> 00:30:50.220
 every human

00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:50.720
 heart

00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:52.120
 even religious

00:30:52.120 --> 00:30:52.600
 hearts

00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:54.439
 naturally

00:30:54.439 --> 00:30:55.019
 wants to

00:30:55.019 --> 00:30:55.279
 forget

00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:55.799
 that all

00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:56.379
 is gift

00:30:56.379 --> 00:30:56.879
 and all

00:30:56.879 --> 00:30:57.339
 is owed

00:30:57.339 --> 00:30:57.879
 to god

00:30:57.879 --> 00:31:00.879
 and i think

00:31:00.879 --> 00:31:01.359
 the third

00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:01.859
 thing

00:31:01.859 --> 00:31:02.539
 and the

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:03.399
 most surprising

00:31:03.399 --> 00:31:04.079
 thing we learn

00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:04.399
 from this

00:31:04.399 --> 00:31:04.940
 parable is

00:31:04.940 --> 00:31:05.579
 the heart

00:31:05.579 --> 00:31:05.879
 of the

00:31:05.879 --> 00:31:06.339
 master

00:31:06.339 --> 00:31:09.379
 after sending

00:31:09.379 --> 00:31:10.279
 many servants

00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:11.460
 whom they beat

00:31:11.460 --> 00:31:12.059
 and kill

00:31:12.059 --> 00:31:12.660
 and more

00:31:12.660 --> 00:31:13.379
 servants who

00:31:13.379 --> 00:31:13.879
 they beat

00:31:13.879 --> 00:31:14.460
 and kill

00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:16.120
 this

00:31:16.120 --> 00:31:17.220
 owner

00:31:17.220 --> 00:31:17.759
 has the

00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:18.100
 law

00:31:18.100 --> 00:31:18.559
 on his

00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:18.860
 side

00:31:18.860 --> 00:31:19.420
 he should

00:31:19.420 --> 00:31:19.920
 have sent

00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:20.640
 soldiers

00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:22.880
 that's

00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:24.140
 that's what

00:31:24.140 --> 00:31:24.360
 he should

00:31:24.360 --> 00:31:24.779
 have done

00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:31.019
 i don't

00:31:31.019 --> 00:31:31.220

00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:33.819
 seven news

00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:35.539

00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:49.720
 his three

00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:51.259
 kids and

00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:52.079
 another child

00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:52.339
 i don't know

00:31:52.339 --> 00:31:52.579
 if you've

00:31:52.579 --> 00:31:53.039
 seen it

00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:54.659
 but it is

00:31:54.659 --> 00:31:56.500
 it is a

00:31:56.500 --> 00:31:57.500
 moving story

00:31:57.500 --> 00:31:58.139
 of forgiveness

00:31:58.139 --> 00:31:59.440
 i'll go

00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:00.319
 look it up

00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.500
 but denny's

00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:02.960
 asked

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:07.759
 about justice

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.279
 for samuel

00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:13.220
 and denny's

00:32:13.220 --> 00:32:13.819
 response says

00:32:13.819 --> 00:32:14.559
 if it was

00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:15.159
 up to me

00:32:15.159 --> 00:32:15.879
 i'll bring

00:32:15.879 --> 00:32:16.779
 him out of

00:32:16.779 --> 00:32:17.079
 prison

00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:17.700
 tomorrow

00:32:17.700 --> 00:32:20.200
 justice

00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:21.039
 is to have

00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:21.679
 my kids

00:32:21.679 --> 00:32:22.079
 back

00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:27.879
 i found

00:32:27.879 --> 00:32:28.220
 that quite

00:32:28.220 --> 00:32:28.599
 moving

00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:31.899
 because no

00:32:31.899 --> 00:32:32.319
 amount

00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:33.500
 you can't

00:32:33.500 --> 00:32:33.779
 pay it

00:32:33.779 --> 00:32:34.039
 back

00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:35.500
 it's

00:32:35.500 --> 00:32:35.839
 it's

00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:36.619
 such a

00:32:36.619 --> 00:32:37.039
 big

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.019
 sin

00:32:40.019 --> 00:32:41.559
 you can't

00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:41.980
 pay it

00:32:41.980 --> 00:32:42.379
 back

00:32:42.379 --> 00:32:43.539
 and yet

00:32:43.539 --> 00:32:43.740
 he's

00:32:43.740 --> 00:32:44.200
 chosen

00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:44.819
 to

00:32:44.819 --> 00:32:45.259
 forgive

00:32:45.259 --> 00:32:46.139
 and

00:32:46.139 --> 00:32:48.220
 apparently

00:32:48.220 --> 00:32:48.720
 he talks

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:48.960
 on the

00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:49.220
 phone

00:32:49.220 --> 00:32:49.440
 with

00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:49.819
 samuel

00:32:49.819 --> 00:32:50.180
 from

00:32:50.180 --> 00:32:50.539
 prison

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:51.279
 on a

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:51.539
 weekly

00:32:51.539 --> 00:32:52.099
 basis

00:32:52.099 --> 00:32:54.500
 he's

00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:54.859
 visited

00:32:54.859 --> 00:32:55.439
 sam's

00:32:55.439 --> 00:32:55.919
 parents

00:32:55.919 --> 00:32:57.179
 he says

00:32:57.179 --> 00:32:57.359
 he's

00:32:57.359 --> 00:32:57.740
 gonna have

00:32:57.740 --> 00:32:58.019
 sam

00:32:58.019 --> 00:32:58.279
 over

00:32:58.279 --> 00:32:58.599
 for a

00:32:58.599 --> 00:32:59.019
 barbecue

00:32:59.019 --> 00:32:59.579
 when he

00:32:59.579 --> 00:32:59.959
 gets out

00:32:59.959 --> 00:33:00.199
 of prison

00:33:00.199 --> 00:33:00.659
 like

00:33:00.659 --> 00:33:02.059
 you gotta

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:02.399
 watch it

00:33:02.399 --> 00:33:02.919
 for yourself

00:33:02.919 --> 00:33:03.539
 and see

00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:04.440
 it's

00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:05.359
 incomprehensible

00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:05.879
 i'm

00:33:05.879 --> 00:33:06.259
 struggling

00:33:06.259 --> 00:33:06.839
 to believe

00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:07.139
 he's

00:33:07.139 --> 00:33:07.420
 fully

00:33:07.420 --> 00:33:07.779
 forgiven

00:33:07.779 --> 00:33:08.039
 him

00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:08.759
 but it's

00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:09.299
 it just

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:09.700
 doesn't

00:33:09.700 --> 00:33:10.399
 it's

00:33:10.399 --> 00:33:11.200
 incomprehensible

00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:11.480
 his

00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:11.819
 forgiveness

00:33:11.819 --> 00:33:13.259
 this father

00:33:13.259 --> 00:33:13.680
 in this

00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:14.180
 parable

00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:15.420
 is more

00:33:15.420 --> 00:33:16.319
 incomprehensible

00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:16.940
 than that

00:33:16.940 --> 00:33:18.399
 who would

00:33:18.399 --> 00:33:19.000
 send his

00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:19.599
 son

00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:20.579
 knowing

00:33:20.579 --> 00:33:21.119
 the danger

00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:22.980
 who would

00:33:22.980 --> 00:33:23.480
 do that

00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:26.740
 if he

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:27.339
 just wants

00:33:27.339 --> 00:33:27.879
 the rent

00:33:27.879 --> 00:33:28.460
 send

00:33:28.460 --> 00:33:29.139
 soldiers

00:33:29.139 --> 00:33:32.039
 he wants

00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:33.000
 he wants

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:33.519
 the tenants

00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:33.980
 back

00:33:33.980 --> 00:33:34.980
 they will

00:33:34.980 --> 00:33:35.720
 respect

00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:37.639
 my son

00:33:37.639 --> 00:33:38.299
 he wants

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:39.139
 the relationship

00:33:39.139 --> 00:33:41.299
 i think

00:33:41.299 --> 00:33:41.660
 it's this

00:33:41.660 --> 00:33:42.079
 little

00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:43.460
 little

00:33:43.460 --> 00:33:43.980
 picture

00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:45.639
 god's

00:33:45.639 --> 00:33:46.240
 love

00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:48.180
 for rebellious

00:33:48.180 --> 00:33:48.720
 people is

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:49.720
 incomprehensible

00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:49.740
!

00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:52.339
 that he would

00:33:52.339 --> 00:33:52.839
 send his

00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:53.519
 son knowing

00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:53.960
 he would be

00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:54.599
 thrown out

00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:54.980
 of the

00:33:54.980 --> 00:33:55.379
 vineyard

00:33:55.379 --> 00:33:55.879
 and killed

00:33:55.880 --> 00:34:05.260
 in verses

00:34:05.260 --> 00:34:06.040
 42 to

00:34:06.040 --> 00:34:06.500
 46

00:34:06.500 --> 00:34:06.900
 jesus

00:34:06.900 --> 00:34:07.520
 presses

00:34:07.520 --> 00:34:07.840
 the

00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:08.440
 implications

00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:08.880
 of all

00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:09.200
 this

00:34:09.200 --> 00:34:13.059
 he changes

00:34:13.059 --> 00:34:13.700
 metaphors

00:34:13.700 --> 00:34:14.500
 from vineyard

00:34:14.500 --> 00:34:15.280
 to building

00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:16.000
 quoting

00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:16.440
 psalm

00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:17.059
 118

00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:18.779
 now it's

00:34:18.779 --> 00:34:19.639
 not so

00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:20.159
 abrupt

00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:20.679
 a picture

00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:21.059
 if we

00:34:21.059 --> 00:34:21.440
 remember

00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:21.719
 they were

00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:22.079
 in the

00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:22.420
 temple

00:34:22.420 --> 00:34:23.099
 this isn't

00:34:23.099 --> 00:34:23.460
 quite a

00:34:23.460 --> 00:34:23.719
 temple

00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:24.880
 we're never

00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:25.119
 going to

00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:25.420
 call it

00:34:25.420 --> 00:34:25.739
 a temple

00:34:25.739 --> 00:34:26.519
 but

00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:27.799
 they're in

00:34:27.799 --> 00:34:28.219
 the temple

00:34:28.219 --> 00:34:31.759
 their

00:34:31.759 --> 00:34:32.439
 identity

00:34:32.439 --> 00:34:32.819
 as a

00:34:32.819 --> 00:34:33.079
 people

00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:33.619
 of god

00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:34.899
 was in

00:34:34.899 --> 00:34:35.099
 these

00:34:35.099 --> 00:34:35.619
 beautiful

00:34:35.619 --> 00:34:36.239
 stones

00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:36.639
 around

00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:36.899
 them

00:34:36.899 --> 00:34:37.419
 the

00:34:37.419 --> 00:34:37.939
 centre

00:34:37.939 --> 00:34:38.219
 of

00:34:38.219 --> 00:34:38.379
 their

00:34:38.379 --> 00:34:39.079
 life

00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:40.319
 was

00:34:40.319 --> 00:34:40.699
 bound

00:34:40.699 --> 00:34:40.959
 up

00:34:40.959 --> 00:34:41.299
 here

00:34:41.299 --> 00:34:44.919
 the

00:34:44.919 --> 00:34:45.239
 psalm

00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:45.639
 the picture

00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:45.980
 is

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:46.419
 the

00:34:46.419 --> 00:34:46.719
 builders

00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:46.879
 are

00:34:46.879 --> 00:34:47.079
 looking

00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.299
 for

00:34:47.299 --> 00:34:47.959
 stones

00:34:47.959 --> 00:34:48.559
 to

00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:48.939
 build

00:34:48.939 --> 00:34:49.480
 and

00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:49.619
 they

00:34:49.619 --> 00:34:49.919
 find

00:34:49.919 --> 00:34:50.099
 this

00:34:50.099 --> 00:34:50.439
 one

00:34:50.439 --> 00:34:51.480
 it's

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:51.839
 ugly

00:34:51.839 --> 00:34:52.879
 it's

00:34:52.879 --> 00:34:53.319
 useless

00:34:53.319 --> 00:34:54.259
 and

00:34:54.259 --> 00:34:54.399
 they

00:34:54.399 --> 00:34:54.699
 chuck

00:34:54.699 --> 00:34:54.799
 it

00:34:54.799 --> 00:34:54.899
 in

00:34:54.899 --> 00:34:55.019
 the

00:34:55.019 --> 00:34:55.259
 rubbish

00:34:55.259 --> 00:34:55.659
 piles

00:34:55.659 --> 00:34:56.299
 it's

00:34:56.299 --> 00:34:56.739
 worthless

00:34:56.739 --> 00:34:59.659
 and it's

00:34:59.659 --> 00:35:00.579
 that stone

00:35:00.579 --> 00:35:02.299
 that the

00:35:02.299 --> 00:35:02.759
 whole

00:35:02.759 --> 00:35:03.359
 building

00:35:03.359 --> 00:35:03.939
 ends up

00:35:03.939 --> 00:35:04.379
 depending

00:35:04.379 --> 00:35:04.679
 on

00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:06.219
 now the

00:35:06.219 --> 00:35:06.579
 original

00:35:06.579 --> 00:35:07.459
 context

00:35:07.459 --> 00:35:07.739
 is

00:35:07.739 --> 00:35:08.519
 Israel

00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:09.079
 is that

00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:09.459
 stone

00:35:09.459 --> 00:35:11.399
 and

00:35:11.399 --> 00:35:11.619
 Jesus

00:35:11.619 --> 00:35:12.000
 is saying

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:13.059
 I'm

00:35:13.059 --> 00:35:13.239
 that

00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:13.639
 stone

00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:19.039
 he's

00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:19.459
 building

00:35:19.459 --> 00:35:19.959
 a whole

00:35:19.959 --> 00:35:20.459
 new

00:35:20.459 --> 00:35:21.439
 people

00:35:21.439 --> 00:35:22.579
 on

00:35:22.579 --> 00:35:23.039
 himself

00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:30.699
 therefore

00:35:30.699 --> 00:35:31.179
 I tell

00:35:31.179 --> 00:35:31.340
 you

00:35:31.340 --> 00:35:31.500
 the

00:35:31.500 --> 00:35:31.759
 kingdom

00:35:31.759 --> 00:35:31.980
 of

00:35:31.980 --> 00:35:32.219
 God

00:35:32.219 --> 00:35:32.340
 will

00:35:32.340 --> 00:35:32.480
 be

00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:32.840
 taken

00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:33.179
 away

00:35:33.179 --> 00:35:33.440
 from

00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:33.699
 you

00:35:33.699 --> 00:35:33.900
 and

00:35:33.900 --> 00:35:34.099
 given

00:35:34.099 --> 00:35:34.279
 to

00:35:34.279 --> 00:35:34.480
 a

00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:34.880
 people

00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:35.800
 producing

00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:37.199
 its

00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:37.840
 fruits

00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:43.519
 when

00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:43.860
 Jesus

00:35:43.860 --> 00:35:44.400
 curses

00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:44.599
 the

00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:44.800
 fig

00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:45.119
 tree

00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:49.380
 it's

00:35:49.380 --> 00:35:49.539
 a

00:35:49.539 --> 00:35:49.820
 metaphor

00:35:49.820 --> 00:35:50.199
 for

00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:50.940
 Israel

00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:53.679
 eagles

00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:54.019
 in

00:35:54.019 --> 00:35:54.440
 America

00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:55.019
 apparently

00:35:55.019 --> 00:35:55.280
 are

00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:55.860
 protected

00:35:55.860 --> 00:35:56.559
 by law

00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:56.860
 because

00:35:56.860 --> 00:35:57.220
 eagles

00:35:57.220 --> 00:35:57.840
 represent

00:35:57.840 --> 00:35:59.500
 the

00:35:59.500 --> 00:35:59.900
 nation

00:35:59.900 --> 00:36:00.420
 the

00:36:00.420 --> 00:36:01.700
 government

00:36:01.700 --> 00:36:01.940
 the

00:36:01.940 --> 00:36:02.320
 people

00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:03.119
 I

00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:03.559
 heard

00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:03.679
 a

00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:04.039
 comedian

00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:04.519
 joke

00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:04.840
 that

00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:05.280
 an

00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:05.619
 eagle

00:36:05.619 --> 00:36:06.200
 made

00:36:06.200 --> 00:36:06.360
 a

00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:06.619
 nest

00:36:06.619 --> 00:36:06.780
 in

00:36:06.780 --> 00:36:06.920
 his

00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:07.400
 backyard

00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:08.940
 and

00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:09.400
 he

00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:09.659
 looked

00:36:09.659 --> 00:36:09.780
 at

00:36:09.780 --> 00:36:09.880
 it

00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:10.039
 from

00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:10.220
 his

00:36:10.220 --> 00:36:10.579
 deck

00:36:10.579 --> 00:36:10.880
 and

00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:11.740
 he

00:36:11.740 --> 00:36:11.880
 could

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:12.039
 do

00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:12.280
 nothing

00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:12.599
 about

00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:12.820
 it

00:36:12.820 --> 00:36:13.300
 he's

00:36:13.300 --> 00:36:13.440
 not

00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:13.639
 allowed

00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:13.760
 to

00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:13.820
 do

00:36:13.820 --> 00:36:13.980
 a

00:36:13.980 --> 00:36:14.380
 thing

00:36:14.380 --> 00:36:17.000
 it's

00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:17.200
 like

00:36:17.200 --> 00:36:17.340
 the

00:36:17.340 --> 00:36:17.559
 eagle

00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:17.700
 was

00:36:17.700 --> 00:36:17.880
 just

00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:18.119
 looking

00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:18.300
 at

00:36:18.300 --> 00:36:18.420
 him

00:36:18.420 --> 00:36:18.720
 going

00:36:18.720 --> 00:36:19.200
 this

00:36:19.200 --> 00:36:19.300
 is

00:36:19.300 --> 00:36:19.579
 my

00:36:19.579 --> 00:36:19.980
 land

00:36:19.980 --> 00:36:22.579
 that's

00:36:22.579 --> 00:36:23.920
 that's

00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:24.079
 the

00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:24.440
 metaphor

00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:24.980
 that's

00:36:24.980 --> 00:36:25.099
 the

00:36:25.099 --> 00:36:25.440
 kind

00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:25.559
 of

00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:26.039
 significance

00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:26.380
 this

00:36:26.380 --> 00:36:26.639
 fig

00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:26.820
 tree

00:36:26.820 --> 00:36:27.219
 had

00:36:27.219 --> 00:36:29.760
 Jesus

00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:29.960
 is

00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:30.119
 saying

00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:30.320
 may

00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:30.699
 no

00:36:30.699 --> 00:36:31.179
 fruit

00:36:31.179 --> 00:36:31.639
 ever

00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:32.099
 come

00:36:32.099 --> 00:36:32.380
 from

00:36:32.380 --> 00:36:32.719
 you

00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:33.300
 again

00:36:33.300 --> 00:36:33.940
 this

00:36:33.940 --> 00:36:34.079
 is

00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:34.260
 the

00:36:34.260 --> 00:36:34.800
 end

00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:36.659
 of

00:36:36.659 --> 00:36:37.099
 an

00:36:37.099 --> 00:36:37.500
 era

00:36:37.500 --> 00:36:37.760
 of

00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:38.260
 salvation

00:36:38.260 --> 00:36:38.880
 history

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:40.599
 centred

00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:41.019
 on this

00:36:41.019 --> 00:36:41.320
 temple

00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:41.760
 building

00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:44.199
 now

00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:44.579
 how

00:36:44.579 --> 00:36:44.740
 is

00:36:44.740 --> 00:36:44.840
 he

00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:44.980
 going

00:36:44.980 --> 00:36:45.079
 to

00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:45.579
 replace

00:36:45.579 --> 00:36:45.980
 it

00:36:45.980 --> 00:36:47.400
 here's

00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:47.539
 the

00:36:47.539 --> 00:36:47.780
 wonder

00:36:47.780 --> 00:36:48.000
 of

00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:48.159
 it

00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:48.820
 he's

00:36:48.820 --> 00:36:48.960
 not

00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:49.099
 going

00:36:49.099 --> 00:36:49.219
 to

00:36:49.219 --> 00:36:49.440
 turn

00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:49.599
 the

00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:50.059
 crowds

00:36:50.059 --> 00:36:50.579
 against

00:36:50.579 --> 00:36:50.800
 the

00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:51.099
 religious

00:36:51.099 --> 00:36:51.480
 leaders

00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:51.720
 he

00:36:51.720 --> 00:36:52.019
 had

00:36:52.019 --> 00:36:52.179
 the

00:36:52.179 --> 00:36:52.579
 crowds

00:36:52.579 --> 00:36:52.760
 in

00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:52.960
 his

00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:53.420
 pocket

00:36:53.420 --> 00:36:53.840
 he

00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:54.000
 could

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:54.139
 have

00:36:54.139 --> 00:36:54.639
 easily

00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:55.019
 done

00:36:55.019 --> 00:36:55.340
 that

00:36:55.340 --> 00:36:57.400
 he

00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:58.000
 creates

00:36:58.000 --> 00:36:58.280
 it

00:36:58.280 --> 00:36:59.079
 by being

00:36:59.079 --> 00:36:59.659
 rejected

00:36:59.659 --> 00:37:00.360
 himself

00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:01.119
 by

00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:01.639
 taking

00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:01.920
 the

00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:02.420
 curse

00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:03.740
 himself

00:37:03.740 --> 00:37:05.480
 he

00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:05.720
 only

00:37:05.720 --> 00:37:06.099
 cursed

00:37:06.099 --> 00:37:06.539
 a tree

00:37:06.539 --> 00:37:06.760
 he

00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:07.000
 didn't

00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:07.400
 curse

00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:09.480
 them

00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:09.720
 in

00:37:09.720 --> 00:37:09.900
 that

00:37:09.900 --> 00:37:10.260
 moment

00:37:10.260 --> 00:37:11.980
 he's

00:37:11.980 --> 00:37:12.220
 actually

00:37:12.220 --> 00:37:12.519
 giving

00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:12.679
 them

00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:12.840
 a

00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:13.280
 warning

00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:13.880

00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:18.800
 the

00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:19.200
 curse

00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:25.359
 Jesus

00:37:25.359 --> 00:37:25.839
 isn't

00:37:25.839 --> 00:37:26.019

00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:51.920
 heart

00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:52.719
 and look

00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:53.019
 at his

00:37:53.019 --> 00:37:53.639
 son who

00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:54.260
 was rejected

00:37:54.260 --> 00:37:54.860
 and go

00:37:54.860 --> 00:37:57.860
 this was the

00:37:57.860 --> 00:37:58.659
 Lord's doing

00:37:58.659 --> 00:38:01.300
 and it is

00:38:01.300 --> 00:38:01.900
 marvelous

00:38:01.900 --> 00:38:02.659
 in our

00:38:02.659 --> 00:38:03.219
 eyes

00:38:03.219 --> 00:38:05.900
 this is the

00:38:05.900 --> 00:38:06.300
 day the

00:38:06.300 --> 00:38:06.780
 Lord has

00:38:06.780 --> 00:38:07.159
 made

00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:07.659
 let us

00:38:07.659 --> 00:38:08.119
 rejoice

00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:08.980
 and be

00:38:08.980 --> 00:38:09.619
 glad in

00:38:09.619 --> 00:38:09.840
 it

00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:11.039
 that's the

00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:11.600
 temple he's

00:38:11.600 --> 00:38:11.920
 building

00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:12.400
 that's the

00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:12.940
 kingdom he's

00:38:12.940 --> 00:38:13.300
 building

00:38:13.300 --> 00:38:15.960
 repentant people

00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:16.960
 who just marvel

00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:19.639
 that he would

00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:20.480
 take the curse

00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:21.099
 for you

00:38:21.099 --> 00:38:22.039
 for your

00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:22.480
 lack of

00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:22.840
 fruit

00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:23.780
 and my

00:38:23.780 --> 00:38:24.220
 lack of

00:38:24.220 --> 00:38:24.639
 fruit

00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:30.519
 the fruit

00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:31.179
 the father is

00:38:31.179 --> 00:38:31.720
 pleased with

00:38:31.720 --> 00:38:32.539
 is listening

00:38:32.539 --> 00:38:33.079
 to his

00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:33.639
 son

00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:34.840
 to the

00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:35.199
 point of

00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:36.079
 being convicted

00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:37.420
 in our

00:38:37.420 --> 00:38:38.039
 hearts of

00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:38.559
 having no

00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:39.179
 fruit to

00:38:39.179 --> 00:38:39.500
 offer

00:38:39.500 --> 00:38:41.940
 accepting the

00:38:41.940 --> 00:38:42.300
 forgiveness

00:38:42.300 --> 00:38:43.420
 and marveling

00:38:43.420 --> 00:38:46.619
 that you

00:38:46.619 --> 00:38:47.119
 are in

00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:47.619
 the people

00:38:47.619 --> 00:38:48.200
 of God

00:38:48.200 --> 00:38:49.519
 simply by

00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:49.980
 faith

00:38:49.980 --> 00:38:56.980
 I want to

00:38:56.980 --> 00:38:57.760
 return and

00:38:57.760 --> 00:38:58.480
 finish in

00:38:58.480 --> 00:38:59.200
 that second

00:38:59.200 --> 00:38:59.900
 lesson of

00:38:59.900 --> 00:39:00.519
 the fig tree

00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:01.000
 in verses

00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:01.659
 20 to

00:39:01.659 --> 00:39:02.119
 22

00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:06.720
 Jesus says

00:39:06.720 --> 00:39:07.519
 truly I say

00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:07.800
 to you

00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:08.200
 he's talking

00:39:08.200 --> 00:39:08.440
 to the

00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:08.780
 disciples

00:39:08.780 --> 00:39:09.260
 if you

00:39:09.260 --> 00:39:09.960
 have faith

00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:10.280
 and do

00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:10.840
 not doubt

00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:11.599
 you will

00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:12.220
 not only do

00:39:12.220 --> 00:39:12.480
 what has

00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:12.840
 been done

00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:13.099
 to the

00:39:13.099 --> 00:39:13.460
 fig tree

00:39:13.460 --> 00:39:13.900
 but even

00:39:13.900 --> 00:39:14.179
 if you

00:39:14.179 --> 00:39:14.539
 say to

00:39:14.539 --> 00:39:14.699
 this

00:39:14.699 --> 00:39:15.319
 mountain

00:39:15.319 --> 00:39:16.219
 be taken

00:39:16.219 --> 00:39:16.619
 up and

00:39:16.619 --> 00:39:16.960
 thrown

00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:17.380
 into the

00:39:17.380 --> 00:39:17.619
 sea

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:17.920
 it will

00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:18.279
 happen

00:39:18.279 --> 00:39:18.980
 and

00:39:18.980 --> 00:39:19.319
 whatever

00:39:19.319 --> 00:39:20.099
 you ask

00:39:20.099 --> 00:39:20.579
 in prayer

00:39:20.579 --> 00:39:20.980
 you will

00:39:20.980 --> 00:39:21.440
 receive

00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:21.839
 if you

00:39:21.839 --> 00:39:22.039
 have

00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:22.440
 faith

00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:23.799
 now I

00:39:23.799 --> 00:39:24.099
 think we're

00:39:24.099 --> 00:39:24.579
 pretty good

00:39:24.579 --> 00:39:24.880
 in this

00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:25.259
 church

00:39:25.259 --> 00:39:25.839
 I don't

00:39:25.839 --> 00:39:26.219
 suspect

00:39:26.219 --> 00:39:26.579
 we're

00:39:26.579 --> 00:39:27.019
 tempted

00:39:27.019 --> 00:39:27.500
 to go

00:39:27.500 --> 00:39:29.000
 okay

00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:29.380
 if I

00:39:29.380 --> 00:39:29.779
 pray

00:39:29.779 --> 00:39:30.259
 for a

00:39:30.259 --> 00:39:30.480
 million

00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:31.019
 dollars

00:39:31.019 --> 00:39:31.779
 and I

00:39:31.779 --> 00:39:32.339
 truly

00:39:32.339 --> 00:39:32.980
 believe

00:39:32.980 --> 00:39:33.219
 it

00:39:33.219 --> 00:39:34.579
 I'll

00:39:34.579 --> 00:39:34.860
 get

00:39:34.860 --> 00:39:35.179
 it

00:39:35.179 --> 00:39:36.719
 that

00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:37.019
 is

00:39:37.019 --> 00:39:37.920
 now

00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:38.199
 some

00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:38.519
 churches

00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:38.980
 are saying

00:39:38.980 --> 00:39:39.339
 that kind

00:39:39.339 --> 00:39:39.679
 of message

00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:40.119
 and it's

00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:40.619
 it's

00:39:40.619 --> 00:39:40.980
 wretched

00:39:40.980 --> 00:39:43.679
 now I

00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:43.980
 don't think

00:39:43.980 --> 00:39:45.460
 I'm not

00:39:45.460 --> 00:39:46.300
 suspecting we're

00:39:46.300 --> 00:39:46.719
 in danger

00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:47.039
 of that

00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:50.480
 I kind of

00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:51.079
 don't like

00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:51.639
 how much

00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:52.219
 Jesus is

00:39:52.219 --> 00:39:52.920
 promising us

00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:53.119
 here

00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:54.539
 I feel a bit

00:39:54.539 --> 00:39:54.940
 uncomfortable

00:39:54.940 --> 00:39:55.400
 I don't know

00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:55.780
 about you

00:39:55.780 --> 00:39:56.720
 you can

00:39:56.720 --> 00:39:57.480
 move a

00:39:57.480 --> 00:39:58.080
 mountain

00:39:58.080 --> 00:40:01.400
 this is

00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:01.760
 not the

00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:02.340
 power of

00:40:02.340 --> 00:40:02.660
 positive

00:40:02.660 --> 00:40:03.140
 thinking

00:40:03.140 --> 00:40:05.280
 and it's

00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:05.960
 not saying

00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:06.300
 you need

00:40:06.300 --> 00:40:06.720
 to just

00:40:06.720 --> 00:40:08.840
 work

00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:09.240
 yourself

00:40:09.240 --> 00:40:09.540
 up

00:40:09.540 --> 00:40:10.100
 I'm

00:40:10.100 --> 00:40:10.280
 going to

00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:10.640
 believe

00:40:10.640 --> 00:40:11.100
 against

00:40:11.100 --> 00:40:11.820
 what I

00:40:11.820 --> 00:40:12.019
 don't

00:40:12.019 --> 00:40:12.360
 actually

00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:12.900
 believe

00:40:12.900 --> 00:40:13.460
 it's

00:40:13.460 --> 00:40:13.580
 not

00:40:13.580 --> 00:40:13.900
 saying

00:40:13.900 --> 00:40:14.160
 that

00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:20.579
 there

00:40:20.579 --> 00:40:20.739
 are

00:40:20.739 --> 00:40:21.500
 massive

00:40:21.500 --> 00:40:22.239
 mountains

00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:23.099
 that

00:40:23.099 --> 00:40:23.500
 are

00:40:23.500 --> 00:40:24.179
 impossible

00:40:24.179 --> 00:40:24.839
 for me

00:40:24.839 --> 00:40:25.379
 to move

00:40:25.379 --> 00:40:25.659
 on my

00:40:25.659 --> 00:40:25.980
 own

00:40:25.980 --> 00:40:26.279
 I

00:40:26.279 --> 00:40:27.579
 can't

00:40:27.579 --> 00:40:28.059
 produce

00:40:28.059 --> 00:40:28.539
 fruit

00:40:28.539 --> 00:40:29.359
 on my

00:40:29.359 --> 00:40:29.659
 own

00:40:29.659 --> 00:40:32.659
 like

00:40:32.659 --> 00:40:32.839
 the

00:40:32.839 --> 00:40:33.599
 hypocrisy

00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:34.000
 in my

00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:34.420
 heart

00:40:34.420 --> 00:40:34.859
 still

00:40:34.859 --> 00:40:35.759
 where I

00:40:35.759 --> 00:40:36.219
 want

00:40:36.219 --> 00:40:38.039
 people's

00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:38.879
 applause

00:40:38.879 --> 00:40:40.599
 rather than

00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:41.259
 serving

00:40:41.259 --> 00:40:41.759
 people

00:40:41.759 --> 00:40:42.679
 that is

00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:42.839
 a

00:40:42.839 --> 00:40:43.219
 mountain

00:40:43.219 --> 00:40:44.939
 I

00:40:44.939 --> 00:40:45.219
 can't

00:40:45.219 --> 00:40:45.519
 actually

00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:45.859
 change

00:40:45.859 --> 00:40:46.000
 I

00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:46.139
 don't

00:40:46.139 --> 00:40:46.299
 think

00:40:46.299 --> 00:40:46.419
 I

00:40:46.419 --> 00:40:46.539
 can

00:40:46.539 --> 00:40:46.799
 change

00:40:46.799 --> 00:40:46.980
 my

00:40:46.980 --> 00:40:47.199
 own

00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:47.619
 heart

00:40:47.619 --> 00:40:53.099
 or

00:40:53.099 --> 00:40:53.799
 when

00:40:53.799 --> 00:40:53.980
 you're

00:40:53.980 --> 00:40:54.239
 feeling

00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:54.819
 powerless

00:40:54.819 --> 00:40:55.219
 to

00:40:55.219 --> 00:40:55.859
 change

00:40:55.859 --> 00:40:56.239
 knowing

00:40:56.239 --> 00:40:56.480
 you

00:40:56.480 --> 00:40:57.119
 sinned

00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:57.419
 this

00:40:57.419 --> 00:40:57.739
 week

00:40:57.739 --> 00:40:57.939
 the

00:40:57.939 --> 00:40:58.279
 same

00:40:58.279 --> 00:40:58.459
 you

00:40:58.459 --> 00:40:58.619
 did

00:40:58.619 --> 00:40:59.059
 last

00:40:59.059 --> 00:40:59.419
 week

00:40:59.419 --> 00:40:59.599
 and

00:41:11.879 --> 00:41:12.379
 raising

00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:53.340
 it's

00:42:53.340 --> 00:42:53.539
 not
