00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.300
 Well, a few years ago, I was given a VIP invitation to a special golf day in this really posh golf club in Oxfordshire.

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.620
 It was actually hosted by an Olympic gold medalist.

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.219
 That's kind of how special this event was.

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:20.940
 I had all the gear.

00:00:21.740 --> 00:00:25.060
 I had kind of slack trousers, not too dissimilar to what I'm wearing today.

00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:27.500
 I had a checked kind of jumper.

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:31.359
 I had one of those caps that golfers seem to wear.

00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.939
 I had a bag full of clubs and golf balls.

00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:40.920
 And as I sat in the clubhouse surrounded by these brilliant golfers, I thought to myself,

00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:43.299
 I look the part.

00:00:43.879 --> 00:00:49.579
 This is going to be a fantastic day, stuffing the next bacon butty into my mouth.

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:54.060
 And then my name got called and I got to go to the first tee.

00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.620
 Excitement welling up inside me.

00:00:56.619 --> 00:01:01.059
 Come on, this is my moment to make my mark in the sporting world, I thought.

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:08.840
 So there I am, stood at the first tee, ball on the tee.

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:15.679
 Oh, oh no.

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.780
 I sliced it.

00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:17.860
 I sliced it.

00:01:17.860 --> 00:01:17.900
 I sliced it.

00:01:18.580 --> 00:01:21.920
 Horrifically into the longest rough you could imagine.

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.220
 Completely the wrong direction.

00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:32.160
 I'd like to say that things improved from there, but they didn't actually.

00:01:32.300 --> 00:01:35.260
 They got steadily worse throughout the day.

00:01:35.780 --> 00:01:38.360
 I truly hacked round that golf course.

00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:40.180
 I visited every bunker you could imagine.

00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:50.020
 In God's creation narrative, God makes waters and land and all kinds of animals and trees.

00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:54.700
 And into the middle of this good creation, he places humanity.

00:01:54.700 --> 00:02:01.680
 Then God gives this pinnacle humanity of his creation a mandate.

00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.719
 Be fruitful and multiply.

00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:08.759
 And fill the earth and subdue it.

00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:13.379
 And have dominion over the fish and the sea and over the birds of the air.

00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:17.659
 And over every living thing that moves upon the earth.

00:02:17.659 --> 00:02:24.300
 This mandate gives humanity a unique place in God's creation.

00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:29.079
 We're not just to kind of exist alongside the animals.

00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.960
 But we're there to partner with the creator himself.

00:02:34.519 --> 00:02:39.319
 To join in with his work in caring for the world.

00:02:40.259 --> 00:02:47.519
 It's perhaps important at this moment to note that dominion doesn't mean extract everything from the world.

00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.920
 That we possibly can and make it all ours.

00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.560
 It means to care for the creation.

00:02:56.260 --> 00:03:00.340
 It means to live in harmony with creation.

00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:03.060
 As God intended it to be.

00:03:03.140 --> 00:03:06.960
 To be like a fruitful gardener caring for his garden.

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:14.840
 It was a world designed by God to exist in perfect harmony.

00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:15.479
 Unfortunately.

00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:20.520
 However.

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:25.719
 A little like standing at the first tee.

00:03:27.780 --> 00:03:32.699
 Creation gets sliced into the long rough.

00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:37.219
 It gets whacked in completely the wrong direction.

00:03:37.219 --> 00:03:43.939
 As humanity fails to fulfill the mandate God has given.

00:03:46.139 --> 00:03:48.500
 Humanity abandons the mandate.

00:03:48.699 --> 00:03:50.039
 Turns away from God.

00:03:50.419 --> 00:03:51.780
 And turns on each other.

00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:53.840
 We know the story of Cain and Abel.

00:03:54.219 --> 00:03:56.819
 You know where son turns on son.

00:03:56.819 --> 00:03:59.780
 And then a couple of verses later.

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:01.039
 There's a guy called Lamech.

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:01.819
 Who says.

00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:06.000
 If Cain is avenged sevenfold.

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:06.939
 Truly Lamech.

00:04:07.060 --> 00:04:08.579
 Seventy-sevenfold.

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:10.819
 You see the problem is.

00:04:10.979 --> 00:04:12.099
 God's good creation.

00:04:12.219 --> 00:04:14.840
 The creation that was supposed to work in harmony.

00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.159
 Has begun to spiral.

00:04:18.019 --> 00:04:19.819
 Into total and utter chaos.

00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:24.860
 And we're only in chapter four.

00:04:24.860 --> 00:04:25.900
 Of Genesis.

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.160
 We haven't got very far in.

00:04:29.939 --> 00:04:32.080
 It's a pretty bleak start.

00:04:32.540 --> 00:04:33.280
 To a story.

00:04:35.819 --> 00:04:38.020
 And it's into this world.

00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:39.560
 This chaotic world.

00:04:40.060 --> 00:04:42.840
 That ten generations after Adam.

00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:44.819
 Noah is born.

00:04:48.020 --> 00:04:49.680
 I'm going to show you a little video.

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:50.540
 Hopefully in a second.

00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:53.340
 I wonder whether any of you have experienced.

00:04:53.339 --> 00:04:54.219
 something like this.

00:04:54.419 --> 00:04:55.239
 When you've been using.

00:04:55.419 --> 00:04:56.319
 A Windows computer.

00:05:10.559 --> 00:05:11.379
 Error message.

00:05:11.379 --> 00:05:12.339
 After error message.

00:05:12.419 --> 00:05:12.959
 After error.

00:05:13.099 --> 00:05:14.099
 Some of you are laughing.

00:05:14.099 --> 00:05:14.719
 And saying yes.

00:05:14.719 --> 00:05:15.539
 I've experienced that.

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:17.299
 Error message.

00:05:17.379 --> 00:05:18.059
 After error message.

00:05:18.159 --> 00:05:18.559
 After error.

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:19.420
 And then suddenly.

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.180
 It gets to this blue screen.

00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:21.939
 Of death.

00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:22.800
 Where you know.

00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:23.879
 You can't do anything.

00:05:24.339 --> 00:05:24.959
 You're frozen.

00:05:25.100 --> 00:05:26.060
 You're trying to move the mouse.

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:26.759
 Click on everything.

00:05:26.860 --> 00:05:27.939
 Every button on the keyboard.

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:28.579
 Doesn't work.

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:29.000
 Nothing.

00:05:29.420 --> 00:05:30.579
 It just doesn't work.

00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:31.300
 It freezes.

00:05:36.939 --> 00:05:37.899
 God's world.

00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:39.340
 Has experienced.

00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:40.680
 Error message.

00:05:40.980 --> 00:05:42.019
 After error message.

00:05:42.379 --> 00:05:43.759
 After error message.

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:44.680
 It's like the world.

00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:45.639
 Has frozen.

00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:46.819
 On this blue screen.

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:49.199
 And the only way.

00:05:49.300 --> 00:05:49.860
 To fix this.

00:05:49.939 --> 00:05:50.500
 On your computer.

00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:52.339
 Is to hit the reset button.

00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:53.519
 To turn it off.

00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:54.839
 And turn it back on again.

00:05:56.420 --> 00:05:57.779
 And so that's what God.

00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:58.659
 Decides to do.

00:05:58.779 --> 00:05:59.659
 With his good creation.

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:00.099
 He says.

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.360
 If I wipe it out.

00:06:01.420 --> 00:06:02.439
 I can start again.

00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:03.639
 And I'll start again.

00:06:03.699 --> 00:06:04.699
 With this guy called Noah.

00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:06.939
 And so God.

00:06:07.300 --> 00:06:08.079
 Floods the earth.

00:06:08.139 --> 00:06:09.539
 He resets creation.

00:06:10.699 --> 00:06:11.539
 And we start.

00:06:11.620 --> 00:06:12.159
 With creation.

00:06:12.159 --> 00:06:13.099
 2.0.

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.420
 And in that.

00:06:17.659 --> 00:06:18.779
 New creation.

00:06:19.899 --> 00:06:21.120
 God reaffirms.

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:21.779
 His mandate.

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:22.959
 That he made.

00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:23.819
 In Genesis 1.

00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:25.860
 And he affirms it.

00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:26.180
 With Noah.

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:26.659
 He says.

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:27.579
 Be fruitful.

00:06:27.819 --> 00:06:28.319
 Multiply.

00:06:28.420 --> 00:06:29.300
 And fill the earth.

00:06:29.620 --> 00:06:30.199
 See the mandate.

00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:31.159
 Has not changed.

00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:35.300
 And then God.

00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:36.360
 Makes a covenant.

00:06:36.899 --> 00:06:37.519
 With Noah.

00:06:37.779 --> 00:06:38.599
 And his family.

00:06:40.060 --> 00:06:41.060
 Never again.

00:06:41.060 --> 00:06:42.039
 Will he flood.

00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:43.300
 The whole earth.

00:06:43.300 --> 00:06:44.500
 Never again.

00:06:44.500 --> 00:06:45.720
 Will he destroy it.

00:06:45.780 --> 00:06:46.300
 With waters.

00:06:48.460 --> 00:06:49.560
 And when God.

00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:50.680
 Makes a covenant.

00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:51.480
 With his people.

00:06:53.259 --> 00:06:54.180
 He's making.

00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:55.480
 Binding promises.

00:06:58.420 --> 00:06:59.360
 Promises about.

00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:00.199
 His role.

00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:01.100
 In the partnership.

00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:02.100
 A covenant.

00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:02.660
 A covenant.

00:07:02.660 --> 00:07:02.700
 A covenant.

00:07:02.700 --> 00:07:04.640
 A covenant.

00:07:04.640 --> 00:07:05.520
 Is more.

00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:07.000
 Than just a contract.

00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:08.740
 See.

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:09.360
 A covenant.

00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:10.360
 Is wrapped up.

00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:10.600
 In.

00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.500
 An intimate relationship.

00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.020
 It's out of God's love.

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.020
 For his creation.

00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:17.520
 That God.

00:07:17.640 --> 00:07:18.840
 Makes these promises.

00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:19.839
 A covenant.

00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:21.119
 And so.

00:07:21.119 --> 00:07:21.519
 A covenant.

00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:22.339
 Is this kind of.

00:07:23.039 --> 00:07:24.379
 Intimately personal.

00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:26.419
 Yet legally binding.

00:07:26.619 --> 00:07:27.099
 Agreement.

00:07:30.219 --> 00:07:31.359
 And it's that.

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:33.419
 Intimately personal.

00:07:34.099 --> 00:07:35.359
 Yet legally binding.

00:07:35.359 --> 00:07:35.839
 Agreement.

00:07:36.039 --> 00:07:37.259
 That God enters into.

00:07:37.379 --> 00:07:37.759
 With Noah.

00:07:37.899 --> 00:07:38.579
 And his family.

00:07:38.579 --> 00:07:39.579
 Says.

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:43.240
 I will not.

00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:43.819
 Flood.

00:07:44.019 --> 00:07:44.459
 The earth.

00:07:44.579 --> 00:07:44.879
 Again.

00:07:46.859 --> 00:07:47.759
 And it's bound.

00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:48.479
 In relationship.

00:07:48.620 --> 00:07:49.219
 And it's bound.

00:07:49.339 --> 00:07:49.699
 In law.

00:07:52.659 --> 00:07:53.800
 And strangely enough.

00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:54.620
 It's not because.

00:07:55.099 --> 00:07:55.719
 Noah is.

00:07:56.159 --> 00:07:56.839
 The perfect.

00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:57.639
 Human being.

00:07:59.279 --> 00:07:59.939
 Read on.

00:08:00.019 --> 00:08:00.699
 A couple of verses.

00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:01.060
 Actually.

00:08:01.159 --> 00:08:01.799
 And you'll find out.

00:08:02.039 --> 00:08:03.319
 That Noah really isn't.

00:08:03.419 --> 00:08:04.319
 The perfect human being.

00:08:06.719 --> 00:08:07.439
 But God.

00:08:07.459 --> 00:08:08.360
 Ends into that.

00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:08.840
 Agreement.

00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.040
 Knowing full well.

00:08:11.819 --> 00:08:12.500
 That Noah.

00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:13.560
 Was still.

00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:14.280
 Sinful.

00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:16.199
 That he would still.

00:08:16.300 --> 00:08:16.720
 Mess up.

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:17.379
 That he would still.

00:08:17.580 --> 00:08:17.920
 Get it.

00:08:18.420 --> 00:08:18.699
 Wrong.

00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:21.040
 And perhaps.

00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:22.199
 That explains.

00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:22.580
 Why.

00:08:23.020 --> 00:08:23.840
 In this covenant.

00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:25.680
 Unlike any other.

00:08:27.080 --> 00:08:28.139
 There is no.

00:08:29.139 --> 00:08:29.699
 Obligations.

00:08:30.060 --> 00:08:30.980
 For humanity.

00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:31.920
 In every other.

00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:32.960
 In every other.

00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:33.779
 Covenant.

00:08:33.920 --> 00:08:34.580
 That God makes.

00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:35.200
 There's always.

00:08:35.379 --> 00:08:35.800
 Some kind of.

00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:36.720
 Expectations.

00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:36.960
 That.

00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:38.039
 That we have.

00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:39.279
 To live up to.

00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:40.659
 But not.

00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:41.339
 In the story.

00:08:41.419 --> 00:08:41.759
 Of Noah.

00:08:44.099 --> 00:08:45.279
 And here's why.

00:08:47.899 --> 00:08:48.459
 God.

00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:49.000
 Cannot.

00:08:49.059 --> 00:08:49.599
 Rely on.

00:08:49.599 --> 00:08:50.240
 Humanity.

00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:51.019
 For the future.

00:08:51.019 --> 00:08:52.159
 Of the world.

00:08:53.199 --> 00:08:54.579
 Only God.

00:08:55.419 --> 00:08:56.299
 Can make.

00:08:56.539 --> 00:08:57.079
 Commitment.

00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:57.620
 Count.

00:08:57.620 --> 00:08:58.060
 God.

00:08:58.060 --> 00:08:58.700
 It is.

00:08:58.700 --> 00:09:01.639
 It is.

00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:02.080
 God.

00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:02.940
 Who can be.

00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:03.500
 Relied on.

00:09:03.620 --> 00:09:04.259
 For the future.

00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:05.539
 Of the world.

00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:06.940
 And nobody.

00:09:07.299 --> 00:09:07.659
 Else.

00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:10.860
 After all.

00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:11.659
 Genesis 6.

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:12.039
 5.

00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:12.460
 Tells us.

00:09:12.460 --> 00:09:13.000
 All we need.

00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:13.379
 To know.

00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:14.820
 The Lord.

00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:15.279
 Saw.

00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:16.460
 The inclination.

00:09:16.460 --> 00:09:16.840
 Of.

00:09:17.379 --> 00:09:18.039
 Every human.

00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:18.539
 Heart.

00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:19.879
 Sinful.

00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:20.659
 From its youth.

00:09:20.659 --> 00:09:21.159
 Earth.

00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.000
 So it's no.

00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:23.600
 Use.

00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:24.500
 On God.

00:09:24.579 --> 00:09:25.299
 To rely.

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:26.779
 On humanity.

00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:27.919
 For the future.

00:09:28.459 --> 00:09:29.199
 Of the earth.

00:09:31.339 --> 00:09:32.000
 God.

00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:32.600
 And God.

00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:33.059
 Alone.

00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:34.079
 Makes commitment.

00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:34.559
 Count.

00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.719
 Because.

00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:39.619
 His commitment.

00:09:39.959 --> 00:09:40.699
 Is backed up.

00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:42.319
 By every single.

00:09:42.459 --> 00:09:42.899
 Aspect.

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:43.719
 Of his character.

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:50.019
 God.

00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:52.519
 Is committed.

00:09:52.839 --> 00:09:53.479
 To his covenant.

00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:53.979
 In a way.

00:09:53.979 --> 00:09:54.779
 That you and I.

00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:55.839
 Could never be.

00:09:58.839 --> 00:09:59.839
 Despite that.

00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:02.399
 Intimately.

00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:03.219
 Personal.

00:10:03.220 --> 00:10:04.960
 Legally binding.

00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:05.519
 Agreement.

00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:07.259
 We always.

00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:08.040
 Find a way.

00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:09.620
 To wriggle out of it.

00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:11.240
 To break it.

00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:12.180
 Somehow.

00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:14.759
 Whereas.

00:10:15.379 --> 00:10:15.899
 If God.

00:10:16.019 --> 00:10:16.800
 Broke that commitment.

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:17.519
 He would cease.

00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:18.200
 To be God.

00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:20.560
 He's made a promise.

00:10:20.680 --> 00:10:21.440
 He will stick to it.

00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:22.519
 He will bring it.

00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:23.800
 To fruition.

00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:27.940
 And as a sign.

00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:29.060
 To say.

00:10:29.340 --> 00:10:29.480
 Look.

00:10:29.560 --> 00:10:30.480
 I've made this promise.

00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:30.879
 And.

00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:32.600
 And I'm not going to change.

00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:33.779
 I'm committed.

00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:34.379
 To this.

00:10:34.379 --> 00:10:35.759
 He puts a rainbow.

00:10:36.040 --> 00:10:36.360
 In the sky.

00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:37.360
 Now this isn't some.

00:10:37.580 --> 00:10:39.019
 Kind of random symbol.

00:10:39.300 --> 00:10:40.000
 That he's just kind of.

00:10:40.180 --> 00:10:41.139
 Plucked out of thin air.

00:10:41.420 --> 00:10:41.560
 You know.

00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:42.200
 He could have equally.

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:43.300
 Put a load of stars.

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.019
 In the sky.

00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:44.279
 Or.

00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:45.540
 He could have done anything.

00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:46.820
 But he chooses.

00:10:46.980 --> 00:10:47.420
 A rainbow.

00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:49.100
 See.

00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:49.480
 A bow.

00:10:49.580 --> 00:10:49.940
 Is a.

00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:50.460
 A weapon.

00:10:50.540 --> 00:10:50.960
 Of war.

00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:52.899
 And a bow.

00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:54.040
 Was God's weapon.

00:10:54.340 --> 00:10:55.720
 Which rained down.

00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:56.879
 Watery arrows.

00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:57.700
 From the heavens.

00:10:57.700 --> 00:10:58.840
 To flood the earth.

00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.280
 And in this moment.

00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:02.060
 God puts his.

00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:03.240
 Bow in the sky.

00:11:03.300 --> 00:11:03.540
 To say.

00:11:03.740 --> 00:11:04.620
 I'm laying down.

00:11:04.780 --> 00:11:05.740
 My weapon of war.

00:11:06.379 --> 00:11:06.960
 No longer.

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.280
 Will I flood the earth.

00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:09.360
 With watery arrows.

00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:15.420
 And whenever you or I.

00:11:16.019 --> 00:11:16.580
 See a rainbow.

00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:17.180
 In the sky.

00:11:17.280 --> 00:11:18.160
 Not only does it.

00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:19.540
 Show us.

00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:20.120
 That God.

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:21.180
 Will not.

00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:22.440
 Flood the earth again.

00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:24.160
 It stands.

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.300
 As testament.

00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:26.820
 To the fact.

00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:27.440
 That God.

00:11:27.560 --> 00:11:28.080
 Is the one.

00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:29.320
 Who makes commitment camp.

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:30.860
 That God.

00:11:30.920 --> 00:11:31.420
 Is faithful.

00:11:31.520 --> 00:11:32.000
 That God.

00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:32.920
 Will.

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:34.880
 Be faithful.

00:11:40.520 --> 00:11:41.520
 But we all know.

00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:41.880
 Don't we.

00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:42.720
 That creation.

00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:43.620
 2.0.

00:11:43.900 --> 00:11:44.740
 Hasn't fared.

00:11:45.140 --> 00:11:45.820
 Too much better.

00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:47.000
 Than the pre-flood.

00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:47.680
 Creation.

00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:50.500
 It's pretty chaotic.

00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.440
 It's filled with.

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:55.520
 War.

00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:56.180
 And anger.

00:11:56.300 --> 00:11:56.700
 And hurt.

00:11:58.820 --> 00:11:59.760
 But God.

00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:00.720
 Isn't satisfied.

00:12:01.280 --> 00:12:01.980
 To stick.

00:12:02.660 --> 00:12:03.300
 And watch.

00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:03.980
 His creation.

00:12:04.160 --> 00:12:04.380
 Just.

00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:05.320
 Plunge.

00:12:05.380 --> 00:12:05.940
 Into total.

00:12:06.040 --> 00:12:06.620
 And utter chaos.

00:12:06.940 --> 00:12:07.760
 He's not content.

00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:08.240
 With that.

00:12:10.300 --> 00:12:11.380
 And within a few.

00:12:12.260 --> 00:12:12.780
 Chapters.

00:12:12.780 --> 00:12:13.320
 Of Genesis.

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:14.420
 God is making.

00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:15.440
 Another covenant.

00:12:16.020 --> 00:12:16.460
 This time.

00:12:16.540 --> 00:12:16.860
 With a guy.

00:12:16.980 --> 00:12:17.400
 Called Abraham.

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:19.060
 And this.

00:12:19.280 --> 00:12:20.120
 Kickstarts.

00:12:20.680 --> 00:12:21.800
 His new plan.

00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.000
 His plan.

00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:24.320
 Of.

00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:25.000
 Bringing.

00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:25.660
 All things.

00:12:25.740 --> 00:12:25.920
 Back.

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:26.960
 To how they should be.

00:12:27.380 --> 00:12:27.920
 Restoring.

00:12:28.040 --> 00:12:28.560
 The whole.

00:12:28.660 --> 00:12:29.740
 Of the good creation.

00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:31.160
 Bringing things.

00:12:31.260 --> 00:12:31.460
 Back.

00:12:31.540 --> 00:12:32.060
 To harmony.

00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:35.180
 And ultimately.

00:12:36.020 --> 00:12:36.840
 That plan.

00:12:36.900 --> 00:12:37.460
 Is fulfilled.

00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:38.940
 Through his son.

00:12:39.660 --> 00:12:40.060
 His one.

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:40.780
 And only son.

00:12:40.780 --> 00:12:41.160
 Who was.

00:12:41.800 --> 00:12:42.280
 Crucified.

00:12:42.420 --> 00:12:43.240
 On a cross.

00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:44.820
 And it's that.

00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:45.320
 Death.

00:12:45.560 --> 00:12:46.500
 And resurrection.

00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:51.419
 That makes it possible.

00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:53.220
 For all things.

00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:54.259
 To be made.

00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:54.860
 New.

00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:57.019
 It's that death.

00:12:57.059 --> 00:12:57.639
 And resurrection.

00:12:57.899 --> 00:12:58.279
 Power.

00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:00.220
 That has won.

00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:00.919
 The day.

00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:04.399
 You see.

00:13:04.659 --> 00:13:04.960
 God.

00:13:05.179 --> 00:13:05.820
 Is committed.

00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:07.019
 To making.

00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:08.460
 His covenant.

00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:10.120
 Last.

00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:11.620
 And fulfill.

00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:12.620
 His promises.

00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:15.139
 Even if it costs him.

00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:16.720
 His one and only son.

00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:18.379
 On the cross.

00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:21.000
 God truly knows.

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:21.639
 What it means.

00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:22.120
 To make.

00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:23.019
 Commitment.

00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:23.460
 Count.

00:13:25.460 --> 00:13:26.600
 So what about us?

00:13:29.179 --> 00:13:29.779
 You see.

00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:30.440
 For a covenant.

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:31.879
 Relationship.

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:32.480
 To work.

00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:33.220
 At its best.

00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:34.519
 It requires.

00:13:35.179 --> 00:13:36.240
 Both parties.

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:36.899
 To agree.

00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:38.379
 To be.

00:13:38.500 --> 00:13:39.299
 What they should be.

00:13:39.299 --> 00:13:40.599
 Whether the other.

00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:41.079
 Is being.

00:13:41.179 --> 00:13:41.979
 What they should be.

00:13:42.079 --> 00:13:42.639
 Or not.

00:13:43.979 --> 00:13:44.240
 Okay.

00:13:44.339 --> 00:13:44.500
 So.

00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:45.199
 For a covenant.

00:13:45.319 --> 00:13:45.539
 To work.

00:13:45.579 --> 00:13:46.039
 At its best.

00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:46.500
 It requires.

00:13:46.599 --> 00:13:47.219
 Both parties.

00:13:47.719 --> 00:13:48.219
 To agree.

00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:48.719
 To be.

00:13:48.819 --> 00:13:49.479
 What they should be.

00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:50.139
 Whether the other.

00:13:50.139 --> 00:13:50.519
 Party.

00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:51.120
 Is being.

00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:52.599
 What they should be.

00:13:52.599 --> 00:13:53.399
 Or not.

00:13:54.699 --> 00:13:55.579
 Both parties.

00:13:55.579 --> 00:13:55.819
 Are.

00:13:56.379 --> 00:13:56.779
 Mutually.

00:13:57.019 --> 00:13:57.500
 Agreeing.

00:13:57.699 --> 00:13:57.899
 To.

00:13:58.819 --> 00:13:59.299
 Uphold.

00:13:59.819 --> 00:14:00.059
 The.

00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:01.099
 Needs.

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:01.500
 Of the other.

00:14:01.659 --> 00:14:02.379
 Above their own.

00:14:04.419 --> 00:14:05.120
 And we know.

00:14:05.219 --> 00:14:05.699
 That God.

00:14:05.939 --> 00:14:06.699
 Will always.

00:14:06.779 --> 00:14:06.919
 Be.

00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:07.719
 What he should be.

00:14:10.259 --> 00:14:11.139
 The problem is.

00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:11.899
 We're not always.

00:14:11.899 --> 00:14:12.639
 What we should be.

00:14:14.219 --> 00:14:15.439
 But through Jesus.

00:14:15.779 --> 00:14:16.500
 God is saying.

00:14:16.859 --> 00:14:17.379
 Come and be.

00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:18.199
 What you should be.

00:14:19.439 --> 00:14:20.339
 I know you've.

00:14:20.439 --> 00:14:20.719
 Messed up.

00:14:20.719 --> 00:14:20.859
 But.

00:14:21.179 --> 00:14:21.479
 Come and be.

00:14:21.579 --> 00:14:22.179
 What you should be.

00:14:22.299 --> 00:14:22.539
 Again.

00:14:23.339 --> 00:14:23.740
 Come and.

00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:24.279
 Come and.

00:14:24.359 --> 00:14:24.959
 Have another go.

00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:25.319
 At being.

00:14:25.459 --> 00:14:25.819
 What you.

00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:26.500
 Should be.

00:14:30.319 --> 00:14:30.839
 See.

00:14:31.079 --> 00:14:31.539
 We're given.

00:14:31.819 --> 00:14:32.359
 A special.

00:14:32.859 --> 00:14:33.339
 Invitation.

00:14:34.079 --> 00:14:34.899
 By the God.

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:35.339
 Who makes.

00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:36.159
 Commitment count.

00:14:37.579 --> 00:14:38.620
 To join in.

00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:39.639
 With what he.

00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:40.279
 Is doing.

00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:41.360
 To join in.

00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:42.399
 With his work.

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:43.039
 Of restoring.

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:44.419
 His creation.

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:45.860
 To what it should be.

00:14:49.299 --> 00:14:50.340
 And that's amazing.

00:14:50.460 --> 00:14:50.779
 Isn't it?

00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:52.600
 That we get to join in.

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:53.060
 With God.

00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:53.940
 In the work.

00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:54.620
 That he is doing.

00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:55.720
 We get to join in.

00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:57.799
 In making all things.

00:14:58.519 --> 00:14:58.960
 Good.

00:14:59.460 --> 00:15:00.060
 And well.

00:15:00.259 --> 00:15:01.240
 To restoring.

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:02.240
 Harmony.

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:04.340
 Amongst his perfect creation.

00:15:04.340 --> 00:15:07.200
 I guess.

00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:08.200
 A little like.

00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:09.060
 My golf day.

00:15:11.780 --> 00:15:12.860
 I shouldn't have been.

00:15:12.860 --> 00:15:13.759
 On that golf course.

00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:14.019
 Right.

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:16.080
 You have to have a.

00:15:16.280 --> 00:15:17.100
 If you want to go.

00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:17.560
 And play there.

00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:18.139
 You need to have.

00:15:18.300 --> 00:15:18.840
 A handicap.

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:19.639
 So you have to be.

00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:21.300
 A pretty decent golfer.

00:15:21.780 --> 00:15:22.580
 To go and play.

00:15:22.680 --> 00:15:23.420
 I'm sure Mike.

00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:24.160
 Could probably.

00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:25.100
 Knock around it.

00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:25.460
 All right.

00:15:25.540 --> 00:15:25.700
 But.

00:15:26.259 --> 00:15:27.139
 You're not a golfer.

00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:28.019
 Oh no.

00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:28.340
 Well.

00:15:29.699 --> 00:15:30.399
 I'm not either.

00:15:30.500 --> 00:15:31.120
 It turns out.

00:15:31.340 --> 00:15:31.439
 But.

00:15:33.079 --> 00:15:33.819
 I'm not.

00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:34.840
 A decent golfer.

00:15:34.939 --> 00:15:35.360
 At all.

00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:36.759
 I am terrible.

00:15:38.079 --> 00:15:39.419
 But I've been given.

00:15:39.659 --> 00:15:40.919
 A special invitation.

00:15:41.179 --> 00:15:42.419
 By the club captain.

00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:42.860
 Himself.

00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:44.299
 To come.

00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:45.019
 And play.

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:45.960
 Around that course.

00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:47.460
 And he knew.

00:15:47.819 --> 00:15:48.720
 That I would be keeping.

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:49.600
 The green keeper.

00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:51.419
 In business.

00:15:51.699 --> 00:15:52.299
 For a lifetime.

00:15:52.579 --> 00:15:52.759
 You know.

00:15:52.819 --> 00:15:53.600
 More overtime.

00:15:53.699 --> 00:15:54.559
 Than he could ever have.

00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:56.179
 Or he'd never need.

00:15:56.179 --> 00:15:59.039
 I was given.

00:15:59.219 --> 00:16:00.359
 A special invitation.

00:16:01.359 --> 00:16:02.559
 By the club captain.

00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:03.799
 To come and play.

00:16:03.979 --> 00:16:04.699
 And okay.

00:16:04.779 --> 00:16:05.799
 I hacked around the course.

00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:07.339
 But I had a lot of fun.

00:16:07.479 --> 00:16:08.479
 On my way around.

00:16:08.739 --> 00:16:09.599
 I joined in.

00:16:09.979 --> 00:16:11.079
 And at the end of the day.

00:16:11.139 --> 00:16:11.959
 I got to sit down.

00:16:12.019 --> 00:16:12.839
 With everybody else.

00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:13.779
 In the hall.

00:16:14.139 --> 00:16:15.679
 In the clubhouse.

00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:16.659
 And have the same meal.

00:16:16.719 --> 00:16:17.599
 As everybody else.

00:16:19.079 --> 00:16:20.359
 I got to join in.

00:16:22.079 --> 00:16:23.219
 And each one of us.

00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:23.839
 Has been given.

00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:25.740
 A special invitation.

00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:27.259
 By the God.

00:16:27.379 --> 00:16:28.399
 Who makes commitment.

00:16:28.599 --> 00:16:28.859
 Count.

00:16:29.899 --> 00:16:30.779
 An invitation.

00:16:30.979 --> 00:16:31.479
 To come.

00:16:31.599 --> 00:16:32.339
 And join in.

00:16:32.419 --> 00:16:33.500
 With what he is doing.

00:16:34.459 --> 00:16:35.599
 No matter how.

00:16:36.139 --> 00:16:36.659
 Unable.

00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:38.239
 We feel we are.

00:16:38.739 --> 00:16:39.899
 Or even how able.

00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:40.859
 We feel we are.

00:16:41.859 --> 00:16:42.939
 The invitation.

00:16:43.299 --> 00:16:44.019
 Is extended.

00:16:48.019 --> 00:16:48.939
 And here's.

00:16:49.139 --> 00:16:49.599
 Where it gets.

00:16:49.719 --> 00:16:50.399
 Really exciting.

00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:52.139
 You see.

00:16:52.139 --> 00:16:53.779
 Because the invitation.

00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:54.399
 Is from.

00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:54.879
 The God.

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:55.779
 Who makes commitment.

00:16:55.939 --> 00:16:56.220
 Count.

00:16:58.059 --> 00:16:59.159
 He makes.

00:16:59.779 --> 00:17:00.639
 Our commitment.

00:17:01.539 --> 00:17:01.740
 Count.

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:04.879
 Because the invitation.

00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:05.339
 Is from.

00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:05.720
 The God.

00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:06.440
 Who makes commitment.

00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:06.779
 Count.

00:17:07.059 --> 00:17:07.920
 When we partner.

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.440
 With him.

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:09.139
 He makes.

00:17:09.379 --> 00:17:10.559
 Our commitment.

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:11.720
 Count.

00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:13.039
 No matter.

00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:13.940
 How small.

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:14.980
 We think it is.

00:17:14.980 --> 00:17:17.079
 And not just.

00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:17.880
 Today.

00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:19.620
 In the world.

00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:20.140
 Around us.

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:20.339
 But.

00:17:20.779 --> 00:17:21.240
 For all.

00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:22.000
 Eternity.

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:23.259
 You see.

00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:24.180
 When we join in.

00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:25.140
 Partnership.

00:17:25.259 --> 00:17:25.880
 With God.

00:17:26.339 --> 00:17:27.360
 What we do today.

00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:28.019
 Has an impact.

00:17:28.019 --> 00:17:29.019
 In eternity.

00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:32.039
 Let me put it like this.

00:17:32.639 --> 00:17:34.420
 Imagine you're walking through.

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:36.740
 That new city of Jerusalem.

00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:38.700
 That's described in Revelation 21.

00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:40.720
 It's absolutely perfect.

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:42.240
 It's amazing.

00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:43.859
 And there's buildings all around you.

00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:45.279
 Which are carved ornately.

00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:46.079
 And stunning.

00:17:47.339 --> 00:17:48.379
 And you can't help.

00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:48.940
 But kind of.

00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:50.700
 Be in awe of this.

00:17:50.940 --> 00:17:52.339
 The city around you.

00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:55.519
 But as you walk through the city.

00:17:55.779 --> 00:17:55.799
 You.

00:17:56.099 --> 00:17:57.680
 Your eye catches a particular.

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.480
 Stone.

00:17:59.100 --> 00:18:00.299
 And you're drawn to it.

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:01.860
 So you go over.

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:02.640
 And you look at it.

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:02.920
 And you.

00:18:03.060 --> 00:18:05.000
 You notice the scratchings on it.

00:18:05.080 --> 00:18:05.400
 And you think.

00:18:05.900 --> 00:18:06.180
 Man.

00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:07.519
 They look really familiar.

00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:10.900
 And then it dawns on you.

00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:11.740
 That.

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.680
 Those were your scratchings.

00:18:14.360 --> 00:18:15.759
 Those were your etchings.

00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:16.000
 And.

00:18:16.820 --> 00:18:17.299
 Yet.

00:18:18.080 --> 00:18:18.600
 Somehow.

00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:20.700
 The etchings that you had made.

00:18:20.860 --> 00:18:21.279
 Which were.

00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:22.080
 You know.

00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:22.860
 They're alright.

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:24.080
 But they weren't perfect.

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:25.720
 Have been transformed.

00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:26.759
 Into this most amazing.

00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:27.480
 Amazing.

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.859
 And ornate carving.

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:29.819
 On this stone.

00:18:31.980 --> 00:18:34.160
 That forms this beautiful city.

00:18:34.879 --> 00:18:36.019
 That we are part of.

00:18:37.099 --> 00:18:37.440
 You see.

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:39.140
 When we join in with God.

00:18:39.259 --> 00:18:40.059
 Here and now.

00:18:40.059 --> 00:18:41.519
 God makes it.

00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:43.099
 Work in eternity.

00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:45.480
 What we do now.

00:18:45.879 --> 00:18:47.140
 In God's name.

00:18:47.740 --> 00:18:48.740
 With God's help.

00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:50.859
 Changes.

00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:52.240
 Everything.

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.700
 And we can be certain of this.

00:18:57.740 --> 00:18:58.960
 1 Corinthians 15.

00:18:59.079 --> 00:18:59.539
 58.

00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:02.700
 Makes this clear.

00:19:02.859 --> 00:19:03.240
 It says.

00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:04.920
 Because of Jesus.

00:19:05.740 --> 00:19:07.039
 Our labour in the Lord.

00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:08.480
 Is never.

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:09.440
 In vain.

00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:13.960
 Whenever we labour with Jesus.

00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:15.980
 He always brings it.

00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:16.940
 To completion.

00:19:16.940 --> 00:19:19.019
 It's not wasted.

00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:20.559
 It's fruitful.

00:19:22.120 --> 00:19:23.840
 So where has God placed you.

00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:25.360
 Today.

00:19:27.840 --> 00:19:29.460
 Where is he asking you.

00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:30.759
 Inviting you.

00:19:30.900 --> 00:19:31.180
 To say.

00:19:31.539 --> 00:19:33.160
 Come and join in with me.

00:19:33.580 --> 00:19:34.460
 Come and join in.

00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:35.660
 With what I am doing.

00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:37.160
 In making all things new.

00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.940
 Maybe it's as simple as.

00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:43.440
 Inviting a neighbour around.

00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:44.180
 For a cup of tea.

00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:45.279
 And having a conversation.

00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:47.380
 Starting a relationship.

00:19:50.040 --> 00:19:50.519
 Maybe.

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:53.279
 It's doing something.

00:19:53.800 --> 00:19:54.620
 Much bigger.

00:19:54.620 --> 00:19:55.340
 Than that.

00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:57.740
 Maybe it's simple as.

00:19:58.060 --> 00:19:59.019
 Becoming ordained.

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:01.580
 That's the easy job.

00:20:01.660 --> 00:20:02.420
 We get paid.

00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:03.180
 To do this.

00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:04.800
 You guys have the hard work.

00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.019
 Where is God.

00:20:09.380 --> 00:20:10.340
 Calling you.

00:20:12.900 --> 00:20:13.820
 What is God.

00:20:14.140 --> 00:20:14.820
 Prompting you.

00:20:14.980 --> 00:20:15.420
 This morning.

00:20:16.100 --> 00:20:17.180
 Say come and join in.

00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:18.360
 Come and join in.

00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:19.480
 With what I am doing.

00:20:20.820 --> 00:20:21.519
 Come and care.

00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:22.340
 For my world.

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:23.960
 Come care.

00:20:24.060 --> 00:20:24.759
 For the creation.

00:20:25.100 --> 00:20:25.500
 In it.

00:20:28.120 --> 00:20:29.000
 Your neighbours.

00:20:31.140 --> 00:20:32.000
 The environment.

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:34.180
 I could name.

00:20:34.320 --> 00:20:34.880
 You could list.

00:20:35.080 --> 00:20:35.880
 The list goes on.

00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:36.140
 And on.

00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:36.420
 And on.

00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:37.720
 But maybe.

00:20:37.840 --> 00:20:38.759
 We'll just have a moment.

00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:39.180
 Of.

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:40.600
 Quiet.

00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:42.560
 To give yourselves.

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:43.200
 An opportunity.

00:20:43.420 --> 00:20:44.300
 To ask that question.

00:20:44.540 --> 00:20:44.840
 God.

00:20:45.560 --> 00:20:46.800
 Where are you calling me?

00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:48.200
 Where are you leading me.

00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:48.759
 This morning?

00:20:50.800 --> 00:20:52.220
 Where can I join in.

00:20:52.800 --> 00:20:53.880
 With what you are doing?
