00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.240
 All right, well this morning as we come to the Word of God, we are starting off the final chapter in Paul's second letter to Timothy.

00:00:08.099 --> 00:00:11.720
 The Apostle Paul has been writing to encourage Timothy.

00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:17.199
 We remember that Paul at the time of this writing is in prison.

00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:24.859
 And Timothy right now is one of the leaders in the region of Asia Minor, which is today the country of Turkey.

00:00:24.859 --> 00:00:34.060
 Timothy has been working with the church of Ephesus there in Asia Minor and likely with the other churches in the region.

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:45.620
 But now, the place where Timothy has been living and working has become a difficult place to be, a Christian.

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.060
 Persecution is happening.

00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:54.519
 False teachers are beginning to arise.

00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:01.039
 Self-interested pretenders are beginning to cause trouble in the churches.

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:10.079
 While the world around them is becoming increasingly intolerant and hostile towards the followers of Jesus.

00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.480
 And so Paul is writing to encourage Timothy.

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.140
 He's writing to remind Timothy of what's true.

00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:20.900
 He's writing to help Timothy overcome his fears.

00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:21.900
 He's writing to help Timothy.

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:28.540
 He's writing to help Timothy remain faithful and push forward in the cause of Christ.

00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:41.719
 The last thing that we heard in chapter 3 was Paul reminding Timothy about the reliability and helpfulness of the Holy Scriptures.

00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:42.719
 It's faith in those scriptures.

00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:57.519
 It's faith in those scriptures which has prepared Timothy to receive the good news about Jesus.

00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:05.619
 And Paul reminds Timothy that the scriptures which were in his time primarily the ones of the Old Testament.

00:02:05.620 --> 00:02:12.759
 The scriptures, all of them, he said, are God-breathed.

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:14.960
 They come from God.

00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:20.759
 And they are useful for the work that God has given you to do as a leader in the churches.

00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:29.319
 With that said, Paul now comes to the climax of his instruction to Timothy here in chapter 4.

00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.319
 Let me read the first two verses for us this morning.

00:02:33.459 --> 00:02:35.199
 This is Paul addressing Timothy.

00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.259
 He says,

00:02:37.259 --> 00:03:00.659
 Be prepared in season and out of season.

00:03:00.659 --> 00:03:17.199
 Let's start by noticing the imperatives here.

00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:18.159
 There are five.

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.460
 Preach.

00:03:21.259 --> 00:03:22.599
 Be prepared.

00:03:24.139 --> 00:03:24.639
 Correct.

00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:26.900
 Rebuke.

00:03:27.900 --> 00:03:29.319
 And encourage.

00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:33.840
 These are five things that Paul is telling Timothy to do.

00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.079
 But now let me ask you a question.

00:03:38.300 --> 00:03:40.039
 Judging by what's written here,

00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.079
 what's Paul's tone as he gives this charge?

00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:51.800
 There's a funny thing that happens often between parents and their children.

00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.039
 Father says to his son,

00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:56.400
 Can you go and brush your teeth?

00:03:57.579 --> 00:03:59.180
 Or can you go and take out the garbage?

00:03:59.180 --> 00:04:04.219
 And sometimes we parents are met with a response like,

00:04:04.819 --> 00:04:07.659
 I could do that.

00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:10.420
 And a blank stare.

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.160
 Like, Dad, are you asking if I'm capable of doing it?

00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.899
 Because, yeah, I'm capable of doing it.

00:04:19.860 --> 00:04:21.540
 But do I have to do it?

00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:25.760
 Have you parents ever experienced this before?

00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:30.700
 It's as if a child detects a bit of wiggle room in our language,

00:04:31.020 --> 00:04:33.879
 in the way that we asked for them to do something.

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:40.580
 And they're now pushing to see how far they can exert their will in the opposite direction.

00:04:40.579 --> 00:04:48.699
 Does Dad's politeness and tone of voice mean that this task is up to me if I want to do it?

00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:51.319
 Can I respond with,

00:04:52.459 --> 00:04:52.719
 Nope.

00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:54.899
 Can't do that right now, Dad.

00:04:54.979 --> 00:04:56.079
 I'm busy playing with Lego.

00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:03.399
 What's the tone here as Paul tells Timothy to do these five things?

00:05:03.719 --> 00:05:07.979
 To preach, to be ready, to correct, to rebuke, and to encourage.

00:05:10.019 --> 00:05:12.479
 Look at how Paul leads up to these imperatives.

00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:18.919
 Look at how he introduces what he's telling Timothy to do.

00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.379
 He says,

00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:26.340
 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus,

00:05:26.340 --> 00:05:29.100
 who will judge the living and the dead,

00:05:29.460 --> 00:05:32.720
 and in view of his appearing and his kingdom,

00:05:32.980 --> 00:05:34.700
 I give you this charge.

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.639
 Preach the word.

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.080
 How much wiggle room is there?

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:45.720
 None.

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:48.680
 Not even a little bit.

00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.220
 In fact, this is the strongest and most serious way of telling someone to do something

00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:55.560
 that I have ever heard in my life.

00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:04.080
 There are moments in our society where someone may question how serious we are.

00:06:05.340 --> 00:06:10.259
 There are moments when our words matter so much that we take an extra measure

00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:16.259
 to ensure that what's being spoken or agreed to is accurate.

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:18.139
 Think of a courtroom.

00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:25.960
 Before giving a testimony, it is a tradition that a witness be solemnly charged to tell the truth

00:06:25.960 --> 00:06:30.160
 and then swear an oath to tell the truth.

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:38.580
 And in those moments, a person often appeals to something valuable or precious or sacred to them

00:06:38.580 --> 00:06:40.920
 or to a higher authority or power.

00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:50.360
 It's done to add weight and seriousness so that what they are about to say is true.

00:06:50.360 --> 00:07:01.360
 A similar sort of thing is happening when we do up a legal document like a will or a purchase offer for a house.

00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:16.740
 These are things in which the terms of the arrangement matter so much that we call someone else to be the witness to the arrangement,

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:26.439
 to the deal, to the contract, so that there can be no questioning what was said, what was meant.

00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.480
 We call someone as a witness.

00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:37.019
 These things are the kind of things that Paul is doing here as he charges Timothy.

00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:39.259
 It's almost as if he's in the courtroom.

00:07:39.259 --> 00:07:48.939
 The language, I give you this charge, is the kind of thing that we might expect in a courtroom.

00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:55.939
 According to one Greek lexicon, that word for charge, I give you this charge,

00:07:56.420 --> 00:08:02.120
 was used to exhort with authority in matters of extraordinary importance,

00:08:02.300 --> 00:08:04.579
 frequently with reference to higher powers.

00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.519
 The old English word that we rarely use anymore would be,

00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:11.860
 I adjure you.

00:08:12.980 --> 00:08:15.659
 I solemnly charge you.

00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:20.180
 That's how Paul is speaking here.

00:08:20.960 --> 00:08:24.939
 And then we see how in giving this solemn charge,

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:36.160
 Paul calls God himself and the Lord Jesus as his witnesses to the words that he's writing to Timothy.

00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:41.199
 It's as if Paul is sitting there in his jail cell writing this letter

00:08:41.199 --> 00:08:45.799
 and nobody else can see me or hear me

00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:50.899
 or knows what I'm writing on this papyri right now except you, God.

00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:56.000
 But Timothy, as I write these words to you now,

00:08:56.179 --> 00:08:57.740
 God is watching me write them.

00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:04.399
 Jesus Christ is watching me give you this command and charge to preach the word.

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:09.000
 And so when you receive this letter and read it,

00:09:09.299 --> 00:09:14.699
 don't think for a moment that you can just crumple up this letter and stuff it in a hole

00:09:14.699 --> 00:09:19.039
 and then walk away because things are tough right now.

00:09:20.819 --> 00:09:24.980
 When we come to stand before Jesus on that final day, Timothy,

00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:30.079
 and our lives and everything that we've done is open before Jesus,

00:09:30.199 --> 00:09:31.340
 you will not be able to say,

00:09:31.340 --> 00:09:33.540
 Paul never told me that I had to do this.

00:09:36.899 --> 00:09:37.879
 It's amazing.

00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:46.280
 Paul calls God himself and Christ Jesus himself as witness to the command he is giving to Timothy.

00:09:46.700 --> 00:09:49.120
 And in the midst of this call,

00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:55.139
 he reminds Timothy that Jesus Christ himself will be the one who judges everyone,

00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:59.319
 both the living and the dead.

00:09:59.399 --> 00:09:59.960
 In other words,

00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:00.919
 Timothy,

00:10:01.179 --> 00:10:03.659
 if I'm executed in a short while here,

00:10:03.899 --> 00:10:05.840
 you're not off the hook from this charge.

00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.179
 Jesus himself is the judge

00:10:09.179 --> 00:10:11.840
 and he is my witness

00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.659
 as I say these things to you.

00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.879
 He will hold you to account as to whether you do this or not.

00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:19.460
 He will judge us all

00:10:19.460 --> 00:10:20.920
 at the end,

00:10:21.019 --> 00:10:22.540
 on that day when he appears.

00:10:23.980 --> 00:10:26.300
 He will be judge of those presently alive

00:10:26.300 --> 00:10:29.080
 and he will be judge of those who died

00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.080
 before his return just the same.

00:10:33.400 --> 00:10:37.160
 So Paul just piles so much weight onto this charge.

00:10:37.160 --> 00:10:39.379
 It really is the most serious command

00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:41.259
 a person could ever receive from someone.

00:10:41.259 --> 00:10:43.860
 And if that weren't all enough,

00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.220
 Paul piles even more onto this

00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:50.439
 with God and Jesus Christ as my witness.

00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.179
 But I also give you this charge

00:10:52.179 --> 00:10:55.519
 with the reminder that Jesus is coming back.

00:10:56.899 --> 00:10:58.439
 I give you this charge

00:10:58.439 --> 00:11:00.659
 in view of his appearing.

00:11:06.299 --> 00:11:08.360
 He will appear once more.

00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:11.159
 So preach the word.

00:11:11.259 --> 00:11:14.639
 And in view of his kingdom,

00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:19.360
 he is coming back to rule and to reign.

00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:21.879
 The kingdom of God is coming.

00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:25.720
 And so I charge you to preach the word.

00:11:27.980 --> 00:11:29.819
 I don't think I know of

00:11:29.819 --> 00:11:32.220
 any other commands given in the Bible

00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:35.240
 which are set up with this same level of seriousness.

00:11:36.419 --> 00:11:38.639
 Calling God and Christ as witness

00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.019
 with a reminder of Jesus' return

00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:43.279
 and kingdom and judgment.

00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:46.779
 What should we understand from all this?

00:11:47.740 --> 00:11:50.319
 We should understand that the preaching of the word

00:11:50.319 --> 00:11:53.759
 is of the utmost importance.

00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.779
 Based on how Paul just introduced this,

00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.679
 it is to be among the highest priorities

00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:02.979
 of a church leader.

00:12:02.979 --> 00:12:06.719
 It is to be among the highest priorities

00:12:06.719 --> 00:12:09.059
 of the Christian church.

00:12:10.899 --> 00:12:11.779
 If not,

00:12:12.899 --> 00:12:14.379
 why set it up

00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:16.159
 like this

00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.519
 in his charge to Timothy?

00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:18.639
 Why say all this?

00:12:18.779 --> 00:12:19.859
 Why add all this weight?

00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:27.000
 Let's examine this charge to preach the word

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:28.879
 more closely.

00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:31.600
 The word for preach in the original Greek

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.320
 means to announce,

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:36.360
 to proclaim,

00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:38.800
 to declare out loud.

00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.439
 This was the word that was used

00:12:41.439 --> 00:12:42.859
 for the town criers

00:12:42.859 --> 00:12:44.799
 and the town heralds.

00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:47.139
 The guys who say,

00:12:47.599 --> 00:12:48.659
 hear ye, hear ye.

00:12:49.059 --> 00:12:51.339
 His royal majesty has issued a decree.

00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:57.359
 So Paul is charging Timothy here

00:12:57.359 --> 00:12:59.039
 to be vocal

00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.139
 and to proclaim,

00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.199
 to declare out loud,

00:13:03.319 --> 00:13:04.240
 even publicly,

00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:05.819
 the word.

00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:08.500
 This word for preach

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:10.019
 is also used to describe

00:13:10.019 --> 00:13:11.879
 what John the Baptist did

00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:13.939
 as he was preaching

00:13:13.939 --> 00:13:14.860
 in the wilderness.

00:13:15.139 --> 00:13:16.019
 It's used to describe

00:13:16.019 --> 00:13:17.000
 what Jesus did

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:18.559
 as he was proclaiming

00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:19.339
 the good news

00:13:19.339 --> 00:13:20.539
 of the kingdom of God

00:13:20.539 --> 00:13:22.240
 going from place to place.

00:13:22.599 --> 00:13:23.759
 It's used to describe

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.219
 what Jesus told his disciples to do

00:13:26.219 --> 00:13:27.819
 when he sent them out.

00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:29.939
 This word for preach

00:13:29.939 --> 00:13:31.179
 is also used to describe

00:13:31.179 --> 00:13:32.099
 what Jonah did

00:13:32.099 --> 00:13:33.419
 to the Ninevites

00:13:33.419 --> 00:13:36.279
 and what Philip did

00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:37.000
 in Samaria

00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.240
 in Acts chapter 8

00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:39.639
 and what Paul began to do

00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:40.659
 in the synagogues

00:13:40.659 --> 00:13:42.199
 after he became

00:13:42.199 --> 00:13:43.379
 a believer.

00:13:45.019 --> 00:13:45.759
 And so there can be

00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:46.559
 little doubt about

00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.039
 what it means to preach

00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:49.419
 because the New Testament

00:13:49.419 --> 00:13:51.399
 is full of accounts

00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.240
 of men who preached.

00:13:54.719 --> 00:13:56.539
 And not just that they preached

00:13:56.539 --> 00:13:58.659
 but also what they preached.

00:13:58.659 --> 00:13:59.860
 the very words

00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:00.559
 and contents

00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:02.299
 of their proclamation.

00:14:06.299 --> 00:14:07.419
 Next we notice

00:14:07.419 --> 00:14:09.139
 what Paul tells Timothy

00:14:09.139 --> 00:14:09.919
 to proclaim.

00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:11.439
 Preach.

00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:14.600
 Proclaim the word.

00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:17.279
 Now most of us

00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:18.399
 recognize intuitively

00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.120
 that the word

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:21.639
 is shorthand

00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:23.240
 for the word of God.

00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:26.399
 the word of God.

00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:28.399
 The word of God

00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:29.620
 refers to the things

00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:30.320
 that God

00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:31.379
 has spoken

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:32.580
 whether through

00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:33.639
 the prophets of old

00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:35.759
 or the apostles.

00:14:37.019 --> 00:14:38.340
 It includes the things

00:14:38.340 --> 00:14:39.580
 Jesus himself spoke

00:14:39.580 --> 00:14:40.779
 when he walked the earth.

00:14:42.259 --> 00:14:43.500
 And for us today

00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:45.080
 we have the word of God

00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:46.180
 written down

00:14:46.180 --> 00:14:47.279
 in our Bibles.

00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.379
 the God breathed scriptures

00:14:49.379 --> 00:14:51.799
 as Paul was

00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.399
 telling Timothy about

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.539
 reminding Timothy of

00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:56.220
 before this

00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:57.279
 in the previous verses.

00:14:58.039 --> 00:14:59.899
 So this is the prime directive.

00:15:00.179 --> 00:15:01.519
 This is the main thrust

00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:02.319
 of Paul's

00:15:02.319 --> 00:15:03.759
 solemn charge.

00:15:04.220 --> 00:15:04.819
 Declare.

00:15:05.319 --> 00:15:05.899
 Proclaim

00:15:05.899 --> 00:15:07.399
 the words of God.

00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.980
 This should be

00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:11.539
 one of our highest priorities

00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:12.819
 as a church.

00:15:13.899 --> 00:15:14.579
 Regularly

00:15:14.579 --> 00:15:15.459
 declaring

00:15:15.459 --> 00:15:17.199
 the word of God

00:15:17.199 --> 00:15:18.879
 in our midst.

00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:21.439
 And to our community

00:15:21.439 --> 00:15:23.000
 around us.

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.120
 For me

00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.279
 these words

00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:26.980
 are so helpful

00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:27.620
 when it comes

00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:29.579
 time to

00:15:29.579 --> 00:15:30.579
 sit down

00:15:30.579 --> 00:15:31.279
 and decide

00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:32.120
 what to say

00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:33.279
 on a Sunday morning.

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:37.240
 Or for those of you

00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:37.919
 who are teaching

00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.019
 alive on Sundays

00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:40.620
 this is helpful

00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:41.360
 as you prepare

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:42.480
 what to teach.

00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:45.039
 For all of us

00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:45.820
 as we interact

00:15:45.820 --> 00:15:46.220
 with others

00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:46.899
 in our community

00:15:46.899 --> 00:15:47.740
 this is helpful

00:15:47.740 --> 00:15:48.500
 as we consider

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:49.560
 what to say.

00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:52.879
 What is the content

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.379
 of our preaching

00:15:54.379 --> 00:15:55.519
 and of our teaching

00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:56.560
 to be?

00:15:58.340 --> 00:15:58.840
 Preach

00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.180
 the word.

00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:02.879
 The word of God

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:04.120
 is what we are

00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:04.740
 to declare.

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:07.440
 people may think

00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:08.100
 we are crazy

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:09.120
 for our relentless

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:09.899
 persistence

00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:11.820
 in taking people

00:16:11.820 --> 00:16:12.960
 back into

00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:14.100
 the Bible

00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:16.139
 to hear what it says.

00:16:17.139 --> 00:16:18.139
 People may think

00:16:18.139 --> 00:16:18.759
 we are crazy

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:19.519
 for actually

00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:20.480
 taking the words

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.820
 in the Bible

00:16:21.820 --> 00:16:22.860
 seriously

00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:23.899
 and believing them

00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:24.700
 that they're true.

00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:27.320
 But regardless

00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:28.240
 of what people

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:29.240
 may think of us

00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:30.519
 these words

00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:31.820
 are true.

00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:31.879
 true.

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:34.100
 This is

00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:34.980
 the word

00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:35.780
 of God

00:16:35.780 --> 00:16:37.960
 and this is

00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:38.440
 what we have

00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:39.000
 been charged

00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:39.760
 in the presence

00:16:39.760 --> 00:16:40.360
 of God

00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:41.560
 and in the presence

00:16:41.560 --> 00:16:42.440
 of Christ Jesus

00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:43.520
 to proclaim.

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:45.160
 This is to be

00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:45.960
 our message.

00:16:46.540 --> 00:16:47.660
 This is to be

00:16:47.660 --> 00:16:48.640
 our curriculum.

00:16:49.400 --> 00:16:50.200
 This is our

00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:50.900
 gospel

00:16:50.900 --> 00:16:53.060
 our good news.

00:16:53.059 --> 00:16:54.879
 God

00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:55.879
 we are not

00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:56.279
 charged

00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:56.639
 to come

00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:57.079
 together

00:16:57.079 --> 00:16:58.099
 and enjoy

00:16:58.099 --> 00:16:58.559
 some good

00:16:58.559 --> 00:16:59.119
 stories

00:16:59.119 --> 00:16:59.799
 or jokes.

00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:01.079
 We are not

00:17:01.079 --> 00:17:01.679
 charged

00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:03.219
 to go out

00:17:03.219 --> 00:17:03.599
 and share

00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:04.720
 some wise

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.480
 and persuasive

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:05.919
 words

00:17:05.919 --> 00:17:06.440
 the kind

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:07.460
 that we

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:08.179
 think people

00:17:08.179 --> 00:17:08.980
 will agree

00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:09.399
 with and

00:17:09.399 --> 00:17:09.899
 appreciate.

00:17:10.700 --> 00:17:11.460
 We are not

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:12.079
 charged to

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:12.839
 share what

00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:13.399
 we have learned

00:17:13.399 --> 00:17:13.759
 from our

00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.500
 experiences

00:17:14.500 --> 00:17:15.259
 in life.

00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:17.460
 We are not

00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:18.019
 charged with

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:18.819
 sharing our

00:17:18.819 --> 00:17:19.859
 best sounding

00:17:19.859 --> 00:17:20.639
 apologetical

00:17:20.639 --> 00:17:21.200
 arguments

00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:21.700
 for the

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:22.200
 existence

00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:22.980
 of God.

00:17:23.059 --> 00:17:25.500
 in the

00:17:25.500 --> 00:17:25.899
 presence

00:17:25.899 --> 00:17:26.960
 of God

00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:27.399
 and of

00:17:27.399 --> 00:17:28.279
 Christ Jesus

00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:29.279
 who will

00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:29.859
 judge the

00:17:29.859 --> 00:17:30.500
 living and

00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:30.960
 the dead

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:31.659
 and in

00:17:31.659 --> 00:17:32.139
 view of

00:17:32.139 --> 00:17:33.179
 his appearing

00:17:33.179 --> 00:17:33.619
 in his

00:17:33.619 --> 00:17:33.940
 kingdom

00:17:33.940 --> 00:17:34.500
 I give

00:17:34.500 --> 00:17:35.039
 you this

00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:35.579
 charge

00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:36.379
 preach

00:17:36.379 --> 00:17:37.720
 the word

00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.299
 preach

00:17:41.299 --> 00:17:42.339
 the word

00:17:42.339 --> 00:17:42.879
 of God.

00:17:44.659 --> 00:17:45.500
 Now don't

00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:46.019
 get me wrong

00:17:46.019 --> 00:17:46.460
 there is a

00:17:46.460 --> 00:17:46.839
 time to

00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:47.539
 address certain

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:48.220
 issues or

00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:49.039
 to share

00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:49.779
 wisdom and

00:17:49.779 --> 00:17:50.559
 counsel or

00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:51.579
 to debunk

00:17:51.579 --> 00:17:52.599
 modern

00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:53.019
 false

00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:53.579
 teachings

00:17:53.579 --> 00:17:55.439
 but the

00:17:55.439 --> 00:17:56.339
 main content

00:17:56.339 --> 00:17:57.139
 of the

00:17:57.139 --> 00:17:57.480
 sermon

00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:58.599
 of the

00:17:58.599 --> 00:17:59.079
 lesson

00:17:59.079 --> 00:17:59.959
 of our

00:17:59.959 --> 00:18:00.879
 evangelism

00:18:00.879 --> 00:18:02.059
 must be

00:18:02.059 --> 00:18:03.059
 the words

00:18:03.059 --> 00:18:03.919
 God has

00:18:03.919 --> 00:18:04.319
 spoken.

00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:09.099
 now we've

00:18:09.099 --> 00:18:09.619
 already talked

00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:10.119
 about how

00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:10.679
 the word

00:18:10.679 --> 00:18:11.179
 preach

00:18:11.179 --> 00:18:13.139
 means to

00:18:13.139 --> 00:18:13.759
 proclaim

00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:14.759
 or to

00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:15.379
 declare

00:18:15.379 --> 00:18:16.519
 and so let

00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:16.859
 me ask

00:18:16.859 --> 00:18:17.119
 this

00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:17.599
 what's our

00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:18.139
 tone

00:18:18.139 --> 00:18:18.859
 to be

00:18:18.859 --> 00:18:20.480
 what's the

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:21.220
 manner of

00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:22.039
 our message

00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.480
 to be

00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:29.420
 it's to

00:18:29.420 --> 00:18:29.559
 be

00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:30.279
 proclamation

00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:33.220
 not just

00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:34.380
 suggestion

00:18:34.380 --> 00:18:37.180
 proclaim

00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:38.860
 proclamation

00:18:38.860 --> 00:18:40.039
 not just

00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:41.160
 suggestion

00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:41.799
 not just

00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:42.420
 here's

00:18:42.420 --> 00:18:42.740
 something

00:18:42.740 --> 00:18:43.500
 for your

00:18:43.500 --> 00:18:44.140
 consideration

00:18:44.140 --> 00:18:46.819
 not just

00:18:46.819 --> 00:18:47.279
 well you

00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:47.579
 know this

00:18:47.579 --> 00:18:48.039
 is what I

00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:48.380
 believe

00:18:48.380 --> 00:18:48.860
 here's some

00:18:48.860 --> 00:18:49.480
 human level

00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:50.339
 arguments for

00:18:50.339 --> 00:18:51.299
 why you

00:18:51.299 --> 00:18:51.839
 might consider

00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:52.359
 this faith

00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:53.019
 for yourself

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:54.119
 no

00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:55.119
 declaration

00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:56.159
 is to be

00:18:56.159 --> 00:18:56.859
 our tone

00:18:56.859 --> 00:18:57.779
 is to be

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:58.439
 our manner

00:18:58.439 --> 00:18:59.500
 of presentation

00:18:59.500 --> 00:19:02.279
 now this

00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:02.759
 doesn't mean

00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:03.039
 that we

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:03.339
 should be

00:19:03.339 --> 00:19:03.980
 people who

00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:04.859
 go around

00:19:04.859 --> 00:19:05.960
 shouting in

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:06.519
 the faces

00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:07.579
 of others

00:19:07.579 --> 00:19:09.079
 we are to

00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:09.539
 proclaim

00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:10.259
 Christ

00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:11.200
 with

00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:11.859
 gentleness

00:19:11.859 --> 00:19:13.359
 and respect

00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:14.700
 but

00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:15.400
 proclamation

00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:17.359
 means that

00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:18.500
 we are not

00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:19.359
 just suggesting

00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:19.839
 we are

00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:20.720
 confidently

00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.640
 asserting

00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:22.819
 the word

00:19:22.819 --> 00:19:23.619
 of God

00:19:23.619 --> 00:19:25.000
 as fact

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.599
 as truth

00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.359
 in fact

00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:29.879
 earlier in

00:19:29.879 --> 00:19:30.199
 the letter

00:19:30.199 --> 00:19:30.539
 what did

00:19:30.539 --> 00:19:31.339
 Paul call

00:19:31.339 --> 00:19:32.219
 the word

00:19:32.219 --> 00:19:32.659
 of God

00:19:32.659 --> 00:19:33.919
 if you

00:19:33.919 --> 00:19:34.339
 look back

00:19:34.339 --> 00:19:34.740
 to

00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:36.359
 chapter

00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:38.159
 one

00:19:38.159 --> 00:19:39.819
 verse

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:40.599
 chapter

00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:41.399
 two

00:19:41.399 --> 00:19:41.679
 verse

00:19:41.679 --> 00:19:42.179
 15

00:19:42.179 --> 00:19:42.619
 he said

00:19:42.619 --> 00:19:42.859
 there

00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:43.659
 do your

00:19:43.659 --> 00:19:44.000
 best

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:44.639
 to present

00:19:44.639 --> 00:19:45.159
 yourself

00:19:45.159 --> 00:19:45.859
 to God

00:19:45.859 --> 00:19:46.799
 as one

00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:47.339
 approved

00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:48.719
 a worker

00:19:48.719 --> 00:19:49.139
 who does

00:19:49.139 --> 00:19:49.659
 not need

00:19:49.659 --> 00:19:50.000
 to be

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:50.399
 ashamed

00:19:50.399 --> 00:19:50.819
 and who

00:19:50.819 --> 00:19:51.399
 correctly

00:19:51.399 --> 00:19:52.019
 handles

00:19:52.019 --> 00:19:52.859
 the word

00:19:52.859 --> 00:19:54.219
 of truth

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:57.799
 sometimes

00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:58.240
 we hear

00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:58.740
 unbelievers

00:19:58.740 --> 00:19:59.319
 say things

00:19:59.319 --> 00:19:59.579
 like

00:19:59.579 --> 00:20:00.339
 stop

00:20:00.339 --> 00:20:00.900
 preaching

00:20:00.900 --> 00:20:01.500
 at me

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:03.860
 sometimes

00:20:03.860 --> 00:20:04.440
 preaching

00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:06.319
 is equated

00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:07.559
 with being

00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:08.019
 arrogant

00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:09.660
 and there

00:20:09.660 --> 00:20:09.960
 certainly

00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:10.519
 are people

00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:10.880
 who have

00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:11.480
 acted less

00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:12.140
 than Christian

00:20:12.140 --> 00:20:13.160
 in their

00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:13.600
 preaching

00:20:13.600 --> 00:20:14.900
 perhaps they

00:20:14.900 --> 00:20:15.559
 are arrogant

00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:17.539
 or argumentative

00:20:17.539 --> 00:20:19.259
 or hurl

00:20:19.259 --> 00:20:20.299
 insults

00:20:20.299 --> 00:20:21.220
 and slurs

00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:21.799
 at people

00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:22.380
 and call

00:20:22.380 --> 00:20:23.079
 them stupid

00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:25.179
 well that's

00:20:25.179 --> 00:20:25.960
 not good

00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:26.460
 at all

00:20:26.460 --> 00:20:28.859
 but those

00:20:28.859 --> 00:20:29.539
 things aside

00:20:29.539 --> 00:20:30.000
 we are

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.359
 called

00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:30.960
 by God

00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:31.919
 to proclaim

00:20:31.919 --> 00:20:33.399
 his word

00:20:33.399 --> 00:20:35.419
 proclaim

00:20:35.419 --> 00:20:36.379
 not just

00:20:36.379 --> 00:20:36.799
 to share

00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:37.019
 it

00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:37.859
 but to

00:20:37.859 --> 00:20:38.279
 declare

00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:38.639
 it

00:20:38.639 --> 00:20:40.960
 and declaring

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:41.619
 things to

00:20:41.619 --> 00:20:42.159
 be true

00:20:42.159 --> 00:20:43.819
 to people

00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:44.419
 who don't

00:20:44.419 --> 00:20:45.179
 agree with

00:20:45.179 --> 00:20:46.079
 or believe

00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:46.659
 in our

00:20:46.659 --> 00:20:47.319
 source

00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.199
 will be

00:20:49.199 --> 00:20:49.619
 offensive

00:20:49.619 --> 00:20:50.199
 to some

00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:53.500
 but that

00:20:53.500 --> 00:20:53.980
 in itself

00:20:53.980 --> 00:20:54.360
 is not

00:20:54.360 --> 00:20:54.779
 arrogance

00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:55.840
 or pride

00:20:55.840 --> 00:20:58.180
 true

00:20:58.180 --> 00:20:59.160
 humility

00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:00.279
 is not

00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:00.779
 doubting

00:21:00.779 --> 00:21:01.480
 the truth

00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:03.740
 in fact

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:04.160
 it takes

00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:04.799
 even greater

00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.340
 humility

00:21:05.340 --> 00:21:06.460
 to assert

00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:07.279
 the truth

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:08.259
 and proclaim

00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:09.039
 the word

00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:09.660
 of truth

00:21:09.660 --> 00:21:11.799
 when the truth

00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:12.559
 is unpopular

00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:14.539
 and so

00:21:14.539 --> 00:21:14.860
 as we

00:21:14.860 --> 00:21:15.319
 proclaim

00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:15.819
 the word

00:21:15.819 --> 00:21:16.299
 of God

00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:17.200
 some

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:17.600
 will

00:21:17.600 --> 00:21:18.080
 respond

00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:18.679
 negatively

00:21:18.679 --> 00:21:20.779
 some

00:21:20.779 --> 00:21:22.220
 will

00:21:22.220 --> 00:21:22.419
 be

00:21:22.419 --> 00:21:22.839
 offended

00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:25.240
 but we

00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:25.539
 cannot

00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:26.359
 let that

00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:27.019
 response

00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:27.980
 of some

00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:29.139
 cause us

00:21:29.139 --> 00:21:30.039
 to turn

00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:30.799
 down the

00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:31.199
 volume

00:21:31.199 --> 00:21:31.519
 from

00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:32.220
 proclamation

00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:34.319
 to suggestion

00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.079
 or from

00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:37.759
 declaring

00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:38.319
 aloud

00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:39.699
 to

00:21:39.699 --> 00:21:40.240
 whispering

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:41.000
 behind

00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:41.460
 closed

00:21:41.460 --> 00:21:41.919
 doors

00:21:41.919 --> 00:21:44.379
 as

00:21:44.379 --> 00:21:44.659
 Jesus

00:21:44.659 --> 00:21:45.099
 said to

00:21:45.099 --> 00:21:45.279
 his

00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:45.779
 apostles

00:21:45.779 --> 00:21:46.220
 Matthew

00:21:46.220 --> 00:21:46.559
 chapter

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.000
 10

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:47.700
 verse

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:48.740
 26

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:49.440
 do

00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:49.660
 not

00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:49.819
 be

00:21:49.819 --> 00:21:50.180
 afraid

00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:50.399
 of

00:21:50.399 --> 00:21:50.639
 them

00:21:50.639 --> 00:21:51.920
 for

00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:52.119
 there

00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:52.279
 is

00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:52.720
 nothing

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:52.980
 that

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:53.180
 is

00:21:53.180 --> 00:21:54.079
 concealed

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:54.339
 that

00:21:54.339 --> 00:21:54.460
 will

00:21:54.460 --> 00:21:54.660
 not

00:21:54.660 --> 00:21:54.839
 be

00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:55.579
 disclosed

00:21:55.579 --> 00:21:56.639
 or

00:21:56.639 --> 00:21:57.299
 hidden

00:21:57.299 --> 00:21:57.539
 that

00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:57.660
 will

00:21:57.660 --> 00:21:57.879
 not

00:21:57.879 --> 00:21:58.079
 be

00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:58.399
 made

00:21:58.399 --> 00:21:58.819
 known

00:21:58.819 --> 00:21:59.399
 would

00:21:59.399 --> 00:21:59.579
 I

00:21:59.579 --> 00:21:59.920
 tell

00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:00.099
 you

00:22:00.099 --> 00:22:00.319
 in

00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.460
 the

00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:00.819
 dark

 not

00:22:18.899 --> 00:22:19.439
 easy

00:22:19.439 --> 00:22:20.119

 Timothy

00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:23.779
 it's

00:23:23.779 --> 00:23:23.980
 only

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:24.160
 going

00:24:07.579 --> 00:24:08.099
 expect

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:14.220
 of

00:24:14.220 --> 00:24:14.460
 God

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:14.619
 is

00:24:14.619 --> 00:24:14.759
 going

00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:15.059
 to

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:16.039
 decrease

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:17.819
 to the

00:24:17.819 --> 00:24:18.200
 point

00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:19.440
 that

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:19.759
 many

00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:20.180
 won't

00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:21.000
 put up

00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:21.200
 with

00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:21.839
 listening

00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:23.379
 to your

00:24:23.379 --> 00:24:23.799
 preaching

00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:27.039
 they will

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:27.359
 have an

00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:27.819
 itch to

00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:27.980
 hear

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:28.339
 something

00:24:28.339 --> 00:24:28.759
 else

00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:30.299
 something

00:24:30.299 --> 00:24:31.079
 different

00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:31.700
 something

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:33.000
 new

00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:33.980
 something

00:24:33.980 --> 00:24:34.460
 perhaps

00:24:34.460 --> 00:24:35.279
 more

00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:35.859
 interesting

00:24:35.859 --> 00:24:36.339
 to them

00:24:36.339 --> 00:24:36.500
 or

00:24:36.500 --> 00:24:37.240
 entertaining

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:38.799
 that

00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:39.299
 desire

00:24:39.299 --> 00:24:39.620
 will be

00:24:39.620 --> 00:24:39.819
 like

00:24:39.819 --> 00:24:40.059
 an

00:24:40.059 --> 00:24:40.539
 itch

00:24:40.539 --> 00:24:42.259
 and

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:42.460
 you'll

00:24:42.460 --> 00:24:42.819
 find

00:24:42.819 --> 00:24:43.420
 that

00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:43.799
 preaching

00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:44.099
 the

00:24:44.099 --> 00:24:44.480
 word

00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:44.779
 of

00:24:44.779 --> 00:24:45.500
 God

00:24:45.500 --> 00:24:47.200
 will

00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:47.420
 not

00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:47.640
 be

00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:48.059
 scratching

00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:48.299
 the

00:24:48.299 --> 00:24:48.539
 itch

00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:48.759
 for

00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:49.039
 them

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:51.140
 many

00:24:51.140 --> 00:24:51.460
 will

00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:51.859
 turn

00:24:51.859 --> 00:24:52.120
 their

00:24:52.120 --> 00:24:52.460
 ears

00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:52.940
 away

00:24:52.940 --> 00:24:53.420
 from

00:24:53.420 --> 00:24:54.140
 you

00:24:54.140 --> 00:24:55.539
 Timothy

00:24:55.539 --> 00:24:56.359
 and the

00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:56.720
 truth

00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:56.940
 that

00:24:56.940 --> 00:24:57.099
 you

00:24:57.099 --> 00:24:57.240
 are

00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:57.740
 declaring

00:24:57.740 --> 00:25:00.299
 and

00:25:00.299 --> 00:25:00.460
 will

00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:00.640
 give

00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:00.819
 their

00:25:00.819 --> 00:25:01.160
 ears

00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:01.380
 to

00:25:01.380 --> 00:25:01.579
 a

00:25:01.579 --> 00:25:01.880
 great

00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:02.220
 many

00:25:02.220 --> 00:25:02.740
 teachers

00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:03.180
 who

00:25:03.180 --> 00:25:03.339
 will

00:25:03.339 --> 00:25:03.839
 say

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:04.220
 what

00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:04.400
 their

00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:04.779
 itching

00:25:04.779 --> 00:25:05.319
 ears

00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:06.539
 want

00:25:06.539 --> 00:25:06.700
 to

00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:06.980
 hear

00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:09.740
 in

00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:10.319
 Timothy's

00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:10.779
 days

00:25:10.779 --> 00:25:11.399
 it

00:25:11.399 --> 00:25:11.519
 would

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:11.679
 be

00:25:11.679 --> 00:25:12.119
 myths

00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:14.799
 they

00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:14.939
 will

00:25:14.939 --> 00:25:15.220
 turn

00:25:15.220 --> 00:25:15.419
 their

00:25:15.419 --> 00:25:15.679
 ears

00:25:15.679 --> 00:25:15.939
 away

00:25:15.939 --> 00:25:16.139
 from

00:25:16.139 --> 00:25:16.299
 the

00:25:16.299 --> 00:25:16.619
 truth

00:25:16.619 --> 00:25:16.799
 and

00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:17.059
 turn

00:25:17.059 --> 00:25:17.500
 aside

00:25:17.500 --> 00:25:17.740
 to

00:25:17.740 --> 00:25:18.240
 myths

00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:19.099
 said

00:25:19.099 --> 00:25:19.419
 Paul

00:25:19.419 --> 00:25:21.339
 but

00:25:21.339 --> 00:25:21.519
 it's

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:21.879
 amazing

00:25:21.879 --> 00:25:22.299
 just how

00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:22.679
 relevant

00:25:22.679 --> 00:25:23.119
 and how

00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:23.559
 true

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:24.319
 these

00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:24.659
 words

00:25:24.659 --> 00:25:24.960
 ring

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.139
 in

00:25:25.139 --> 00:25:25.399
 our

00:25:25.399 --> 00:25:25.720
 day

00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:26.259
 today

00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:27.539
 almost

00:25:27.539 --> 00:25:28.039
 2000

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:28.460
 years

00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:28.839
 later

00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:31.099
 I

00:25:31.099 --> 00:25:31.200
 mean

00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:31.339
 there

00:25:31.339 --> 00:25:31.579
 once

00:25:31.579 --> 00:25:31.759
 was

00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:31.879
 a

00:25:31.879 --> 00:25:32.059
 time

00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:32.259
 not

00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:32.500
 too

00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:32.740
 long

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:32.960
 ago

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:33.220
 when

00:25:33.220 --> 00:25:33.679
 most

00:25:33.679 --> 00:25:34.220
 Canadians

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:34.619
 went

00:25:34.619 --> 00:25:34.779
 to

00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:35.179
 church

00:25:35.180 --> 00:25:36.880
 most

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:37.360
 Canadians

00:25:37.360 --> 00:25:37.860
 sat

00:25:37.860 --> 00:25:38.160
 through

00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:38.700
 sermons

00:25:38.700 --> 00:25:39.140
 week

00:25:39.140 --> 00:25:39.460
 after

00:25:39.460 --> 00:25:39.900
 week

00:25:39.900 --> 00:25:42.700
 but

00:25:42.700 --> 00:25:42.880
 now

00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:43.080
 we

00:25:43.080 --> 00:25:43.440
 followers

00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:43.720
 of

00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:44.019
 Jesus

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:45.039
 find

00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:45.440
 ourselves

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:46.100
 increasingly

00:25:46.100 --> 00:25:46.779
 in

00:25:46.779 --> 00:25:46.900
 the

00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:47.320
 minority

00:25:47.320 --> 00:25:48.840
 many

00:25:48.840 --> 00:25:49.060
 have

00:25:49.060 --> 00:25:49.420
 turned

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:49.820
 away

00:25:49.820 --> 00:25:50.360
 in

00:25:50.360 --> 00:25:50.660
 our

00:25:50.660 --> 00:25:51.060
 day

00:25:51.060 --> 00:25:52.140
 to

00:25:52.140 --> 00:25:52.900
 myths

00:25:52.900 --> 00:25:53.200
 of

00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:53.340
 a

00:25:53.340 --> 00:25:53.640
 different

00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:54.259
 variety

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:55.860
 and

00:25:55.860 --> 00:25:56.200
 follow

00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:56.519
 after

00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:56.779
 the

00:25:56.779 --> 00:25:57.120
 voice

00:25:57.120 --> 00:25:57.259
 of

00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:57.400
 a

00:25:57.400 --> 00:25:57.700
 great

00:25:57.700 --> 00:25:58.120
 many

00:25:58.120 --> 00:25:58.940
 teachers

00:25:58.940 --> 00:26:00.039
 who

00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:00.320
 tell

00:26:00.320 --> 00:26:00.539
 them

00:26:00.539 --> 00:26:00.700
 what

00:26:00.700 --> 00:26:00.820
 they

00:26:00.820 --> 00:26:01.060
 want

00:26:01.060 --> 00:26:01.200
 to

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:01.440
 hear

00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:01.720
 whether

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:02.019
 it's

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:02.180
 the

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:02.660
 ideas

00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:03.180
 of

00:26:03.180 --> 00:26:03.440
 another

00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:03.779
 world

00:26:03.779 --> 00:26:04.240
 religion

00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:05.299
 or

00:26:05.299 --> 00:26:05.460
 the

00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:05.880
 supposed

00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:06.460
 joy

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:06.720
 of

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:07.240
 being

00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:07.819
 set

00:26:07.819 --> 00:26:08.160
 free

00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:08.400
 from

00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:08.799
 religion

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:09.500
 altogether

00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:11.680
 or

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:12.000
 perhaps

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:12.240
 it's

00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:12.380
 the

00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:12.640
 hollow

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:12.859
 and

00:26:12.859 --> 00:26:13.180
 self

00:26:13.180 --> 00:26:13.759
 oriented

00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:14.640
 ideas

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:14.900
 of

00:26:14.900 --> 00:26:15.660
 finding

00:26:15.660 --> 00:26:16.099
 your

00:26:16.099 --> 00:26:16.640
 authentic

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:17.319
 self

00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:18.640
 or

00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:19.359
 mindfulness

00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:20.759
 or

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:21.279
 maybe

00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:21.500
 it's

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:21.700
 the

00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:22.000
 myth

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:23.000
 that

00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:23.200
 you

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:23.400
 can

00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:23.539
 be

 your

00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:24.299
 god

00:26:24.299 --> 00:26:26.140
 and

00:26:26.140 --> 00:26:26.720
 ultimately

00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.700
 you

00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:27.880
 can

00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:28.279
 determine

00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:28.559
 your

00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:28.819
 own

 you

00:28:27.660 --> 00:28:27.799
 may

00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:28.100
 wonder

00:28:28.100 --> 00:28:28.660
 how

00:28:28.660 --> 00:28:28.839
 does

 this

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:29.160
 all

00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:29.420
 apply

00:28:29.420 --> 00:28:29.620
 to

00:28:29.620 --> 00:28:29.860
 me

00:28:29.860 --> 00:28:30.779
 I

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:30.860
 mean

00:28:30.860 --> 00:28:31.000
 we

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:31.240
 know

00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:31.460
 that

00:28:31.460 --> 00:28:31.779
 Timothy

00:28:31.779 --> 00:28:32.279
 was a

00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:32.559
 leader

00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:33.940
 in the

00:28:33.940 --> 00:28:34.299
 church

00:28:34.299 --> 00:28:34.819
 and so

00:28:34.819 --> 00:28:35.259
 naturally

00:28:35.259 --> 00:28:35.700
 we tend

00:28:35.700 --> 00:28:36.000
 to see

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:36.420
 a passage

00:28:36.420 --> 00:28:36.700
 like

00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:36.940
 this

00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:37.360
 as being

 for

00:28:37.579 --> 00:28:38.059
 pastors

00:28:38.059 --> 00:28:39.180
 or

00:28:39.180 --> 00:28:39.660
 elders

00:28:39.660 --> 00:28:41.559
 how

00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:41.720
 does

00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:41.880
 all

00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:42.079
 this

00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:42.360
 apply

00:28:42.360 --> 00:28:42.539
 to

00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:42.740
 me

00:28:42.740 --> 00:28:44.940
 I

00:28:44.940 --> 00:28:45.100
 think

00:28:45.100 --> 00:28:45.259
 there

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:45.400
 are

00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:45.559
 two

00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:46.220
 considerations

00:28:46.220 --> 00:28:46.620
 here

00:28:46.620 --> 00:28:46.880
 and I

00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:47.259
 can't

00:28:47.259 --> 00:28:47.660
 unpack

00:28:47.660 --> 00:28:47.880
 this

00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:48.079
 all

00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:48.299
 fully

00:28:48.299 --> 00:28:48.539
 this

00:28:48.539 --> 00:28:48.819
 morning

00:28:48.819 --> 00:28:49.179
 but I

00:28:49.179 --> 00:28:49.339
 would

00:28:49.339 --> 00:28:49.700
 encourage

00:28:49.700 --> 00:28:49.980
 you

00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:50.919
 to

00:28:50.919 --> 00:28:51.099
 take

00:28:51.099 --> 00:28:51.299
 some

00:28:51.299 --> 00:28:51.659
 time

00:28:51.659 --> 00:28:52.419
 to

00:28:52.419 --> 00:28:52.779
 reflect

00:28:52.779 --> 00:28:53.019
 on

00:28:53.019 --> 00:28:53.559
 this

00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:53.619
 this

00:28:53.619 --> 00:28:54.339
 week

00:28:54.339 --> 00:28:55.740
 the

00:28:55.740 --> 00:28:55.980
 first

00:28:55.980 --> 00:28:56.639
 consideration

00:28:56.639 --> 00:28:56.960
 we

00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:57.200
 may

00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:57.460
 not

00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:57.799
 all

00:28:57.799 --> 00:28:58.179
 be

00:28:58.179 --> 00:28:58.879
 church

00:28:58.879 --> 00:28:59.379
 leaders

00:28:59.379 --> 00:29:00.839
 pastors

00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:01.379
 elders

00:29:01.379 --> 00:29:01.839
 or even

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.379
 teachers

00:29:02.379 --> 00:29:04.179
 but all

00:29:04.179 --> 00:29:04.539
 of us

00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:04.960
 are called

00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:05.559
 to proclaim

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:06.019
 the word

00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:06.539
 of God

00:29:06.539 --> 00:29:08.079
 and to

00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:08.439
 minister

00:29:08.439 --> 00:29:09.200
 in some

00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:09.599
 measure

00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:10.879
 to some

00:29:10.879 --> 00:29:11.279
 people

00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:13.519
 we are

00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:13.839
 all

00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:14.279
 called

00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:15.059
 to

00:29:15.059 --> 00:29:15.460
 proclaim

00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:15.899
 the word

00:29:15.899 --> 00:29:16.379
 of God

00:29:16.379 --> 00:29:18.179
 whether

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:18.560
 to our

00:29:18.560 --> 00:29:18.980
 children

00:29:18.980 --> 00:29:20.100
 or to

00:29:20.100 --> 00:29:20.460
 the

00:29:20.460 --> 00:29:21.160
 neighbors

00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:21.620
 around

00:29:21.620 --> 00:29:22.000
 us

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:23.380
 and

00:29:23.380 --> 00:29:23.820
 proclaim

00:29:23.820 --> 00:29:24.160
 as I

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:24.360
 said

00:29:24.360 --> 00:29:24.660
 earlier

00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:25.039
 doesn't

00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:25.539
 necessarily

00:29:25.539 --> 00:29:26.080
 mean

00:29:26.080 --> 00:29:26.759
 shout

00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:28.660
 or give

00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:29.120
 a sermon

00:29:29.120 --> 00:29:31.060
 it means

00:29:31.060 --> 00:29:31.620
 to declare

00:29:31.620 --> 00:29:32.299
 the truth

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:33.539
 of God's

00:29:33.539 --> 00:29:33.840
 word

00:29:33.840 --> 00:29:38.440
 we didn't

00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:38.779
 even get

00:29:38.779 --> 00:29:39.080
 to these

00:29:39.080 --> 00:29:39.279
 other

00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:39.799
 imperatives

00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:40.060
 like

00:29:40.060 --> 00:29:40.539
 correct

00:29:40.539 --> 00:29:40.840
 and

00:29:40.840 --> 00:29:41.500
 encourage

00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:43.500
 but these

00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:43.860
 are things

00:29:43.860 --> 00:29:44.120
 that can

00:29:44.120 --> 00:29:44.420
 happen

00:29:44.420 --> 00:29:44.840
 in daily

00:29:44.840 --> 00:29:45.200
 life

00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:45.519
 with our

00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:45.860
 children

00:29:45.860 --> 00:29:46.240
 and with

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.440
 each

00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:46.740
 other

00:29:46.740 --> 00:29:48.380
 we are

00:29:48.380 --> 00:29:48.720
 to bring

00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:49.079
 the word

00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:49.519
 of God

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:49.839
 into

00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:50.420
 our

00:29:50.420 --> 00:29:50.940
 parenting

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:52.200
 correcting

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:52.720
 our

00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:53.200
 children

00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:54.059
 training

00:29:54.059 --> 00:29:54.359
 them

00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:54.599
 in the

00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:55.039
 instruction

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:55.440
 of the

00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:55.720
 Lord

00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:58.759
 and there's

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:59.120
 lots of

00:29:59.120 --> 00:29:59.620
 other places

00:29:59.620 --> 00:29:59.980
 in the

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.259
 Bible

00:30:00.259 --> 00:30:00.720
 where we

00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:00.940
 are

00:30:00.940 --> 00:30:01.920
 called

00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:02.140
 as

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:02.480
 followers

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:02.779
 of

00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:03.099
 Jesus

00:30:03.099 --> 00:30:03.779
 to

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:04.539
 encourage

00:30:04.539 --> 00:30:04.799
 one

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:05.160
 another

00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:07.859
 we are

00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:08.160
 all

00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:08.500
 called

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:08.740
 to

00:30:08.740 --> 00:30:09.180

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:11.359
 around

00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:11.599
 us

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:11.819
 whether

00:30:11.819 --> 00:30:12.400
 our

00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:12.859
 unsafe

00:30:12.859 --> 00:30:13.359
 family

00:30:22.399 --> 00:30:23.199

00:30:23.199 --> 00:30:24.259

00:30:24.259 --> 00:30:24.559
 are not

00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:25.000
 just things

00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:25.639
 for pastors

00:30:25.639 --> 00:30:26.139

00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:31.359

00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:31.959
 and in

 our

00:30:32.139 --> 00:30:33.099
 relationships

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:34.319
 we're

 called to

00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:45.480
 word

00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:45.779
 isn't

 just

 when

00:30:55.299 --> 00:30:55.459
 we're

00:30:55.459 --> 00:30:55.679
 not

00:30:55.679 --> 00:30:56.259

00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:16.420
 here

00:31:16.420 --> 00:31:17.519
 it is

00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:17.839
 good

00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:18.420
 for us

00:31:18.420 --> 00:31:18.600
 to

00:31:18.600 --> 00:31:19.059
 recognize

00:31:19.579 --> 00:31:19.819
 are

00:31:19.819 --> 00:31:20.240
 different

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:20.860
 roles

00:31:20.860 --> 00:31:21.539
 and

00:31:21.539 --> 00:31:22.160
 responsibilities

00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:23.319
 and

00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:23.920
 ministries

00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:24.740
 in the

00:31:24.740 --> 00:31:25.100
 church

00:31:25.100 --> 00:31:25.880
 and that

00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:26.180
 each

00:31:26.180 --> 00:31:26.500
 of us

00:31:26.500 --> 00:31:27.500
 participates

00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:28.259
 in those

00:31:28.259 --> 00:31:29.180
 differently

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:31.319
 Timothy

00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:32.200
 was a

00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:32.460
 church

00:31:32.460 --> 00:31:32.779
 leader

00:31:32.779 --> 00:31:34.140
 the

00:31:34.140 --> 00:31:34.460
 people

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:34.660
 in

00:31:34.660 --> 00:31:35.100
 Ephesus

00:31:35.100 --> 00:31:35.539
 and the

00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:35.860
 region

00:31:35.860 --> 00:31:36.059
 were

00:31:36.059 --> 00:31:36.319
 looking

00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:36.559
 to

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:36.860
 him

00:31:36.860 --> 00:31:37.819
 about

00:31:37.819 --> 00:31:38.120
 how

00:31:38.120 --> 00:31:38.339
 they

00:31:38.339 --> 00:31:38.539
 should

00:31:38.539 --> 00:31:38.860
 follow

00:31:38.860 --> 00:31:39.220
 Jesus

00:31:39.220 --> 00:31:39.480
 in

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:39.680
 these

00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:40.299
 increasingly

00:31:40.299 --> 00:31:40.779
 difficult

00:31:40.779 --> 00:31:41.360
 times

00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:41.879
 they

00:31:41.879 --> 00:31:42.039
 were

00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:42.479
 watching

00:31:42.479 --> 00:31:43.000
 Timothy

00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:44.139
 is

00:31:44.139 --> 00:31:44.279
 he

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:44.479
 going

00:31:44.479 --> 00:31:44.740
 to

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:45.379
 turn

00:31:45.379 --> 00:31:45.559
 the

00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:45.899
 volume

00:31:45.899 --> 00:31:46.419
 down

00:31:46.419 --> 00:31:47.699
 or

00:31:47.699 --> 00:31:48.039
 preach

00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:48.299
 more

00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:48.839
 quietly

00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:50.279
 is

00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:50.379
 he

00:31:50.379 --> 00:31:50.500
 going

00:31:50.500 --> 00:31:50.599
 to

00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:50.859
 start

00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:51.819
 changing

00:31:51.819 --> 00:31:52.099
 the

00:31:52.099 --> 00:31:52.479
 message

00:31:52.479 --> 00:31:52.759
 now

00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:53.019
 that

00:31:53.019 --> 00:31:53.959
 it's

00:31:53.959 --> 00:31:54.359
 becoming

00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:55.019
 unpopular

00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:57.799
 so

00:31:57.799 --> 00:31:58.019
 this

00:31:58.019 --> 00:31:58.199
 is

00:31:58.199 --> 00:31:58.919
 absolutely

00:31:58.919 --> 00:31:59.219
 a

00:31:59.219 --> 00:31:59.559
 charge

00:31:59.559 --> 00:31:59.799
 to

00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:00.159
 Timothy

00:32:00.159 --> 00:32:01.000
 specifically

00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:01.839
 and it

00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:02.319
 does

00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:02.799
 apply

00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:03.339
 directly

00:32:03.339 --> 00:32:03.599
 to

00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:03.879
 church

00:32:03.879 --> 00:32:04.139
 leaders

00:32:04.139 --> 00:32:04.559
 today

00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:05.099
 who

00:32:05.099 --> 00:32:05.459
 minister

00:32:05.459 --> 00:32:05.879
 in the

00:32:05.879 --> 00:32:06.119
 same

00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:06.439
 ways

00:32:06.439 --> 00:32:06.679
 that

00:32:06.679 --> 00:32:07.039
 Timothy

00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:07.419
 did

00:32:07.420 --> 00:32:08.440
 it

00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:08.840
 applies

00:32:08.840 --> 00:32:09.440
 directly

00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:09.700
 to

00:32:09.700 --> 00:32:10.140
 pastors

00:32:10.140 --> 00:32:10.480
 and

00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:11.000
 elders

00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:13.420
 Paul

00:32:13.420 --> 00:32:13.620
 says

00:32:13.620 --> 00:32:13.800
 to

00:32:13.800 --> 00:32:14.120
 Timothy

00:32:14.120 --> 00:32:14.840
 discharge

00:32:14.840 --> 00:32:15.460
 all

00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:15.700
 the

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:16.060
 duties

00:32:16.060 --> 00:32:16.279
 of

00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:16.420
 your

00:32:16.420 --> 00:32:16.880
 ministry

00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:20.039
 but

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:20.240
 then

00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:20.539
 as we

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:20.759
 think

00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:21.039
 of

00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:22.880
 how

00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:23.120
 there

00:32:23.120 --> 00:32:23.779
 is

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:24.240
 more

00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:24.440
 than

00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:24.700
 one

00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:25.240
 ministry

00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:25.539
 and

00:32:25.539 --> 00:32:25.900
 role

00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:26.080
 and

00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:26.660
 responsibility

00:32:26.660 --> 00:32:27.340
 in the

00:32:27.340 --> 00:32:27.759
 church

00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:29.220
 in the

00:32:29.220 --> 00:32:29.600
 household

00:32:29.600 --> 00:32:29.880
 of

00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:30.259
 God

00:32:30.259 --> 00:32:34.180
 we

00:32:34.180 --> 00:32:34.320
 can

00:32:34.320 --> 00:32:34.539
 ask

00:32:34.539 --> 00:32:34.720
 the

00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:35.180
 question

00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:37.420
 what's

00:32:37.420 --> 00:32:37.580
 the

00:32:37.580 --> 00:32:37.980
 ministry

00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:38.240
 that

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:38.460
 God

00:32:38.460 --> 00:32:38.660
 has

00:32:38.660 --> 00:32:38.940
 given

00:32:38.940 --> 00:32:39.320
 me

00:32:39.320 --> 00:32:40.279
 to

00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:40.840
 discharge

00:32:40.840 --> 00:32:41.060
 in

00:32:41.060 --> 00:32:41.320
 this

00:32:41.320 --> 00:32:42.220
 body

00:32:42.220 --> 00:32:43.640
 to

00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:43.900
 carry

00:32:43.900 --> 00:32:44.279
 out

00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:45.980
 if

00:32:45.980 --> 00:32:46.120
 I'm

00:32:46.120 --> 00:32:46.299
 not

00:32:46.299 --> 00:32:46.440
 an

00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:46.700
 elder

00:32:46.700 --> 00:32:46.900
 or

00:32:46.900 --> 00:32:47.279
 pastor

00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:47.519
 or

00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:47.700
 someone

00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:47.880
 who

00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:48.160
 gets

00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:48.940
 into

00:32:48.940 --> 00:32:49.400
 a

00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:49.799
 pulpit

00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:50.340
 well

00:32:50.340 --> 00:32:50.600
 what

00:32:50.600 --> 00:32:51.039
 needs

00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:51.200
 has

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:51.480
 God

00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:51.900
 uniquely

00:32:51.900 --> 00:32:52.320
 gifted

00:32:52.320 --> 00:32:52.560
 and

00:32:52.560 --> 00:32:52.900
 equipped

00:32:52.900 --> 00:32:53.660
 me

00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:54.120
 to

00:32:54.120 --> 00:32:54.400
 meet

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:55.560
 what

00:32:55.560 --> 00:32:55.680
 are

00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:55.960
 those

00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:57.100
 things

00:32:57.100 --> 00:32:57.340
 that

00:32:57.340 --> 00:32:57.799
 I

00:32:57.799 --> 00:32:58.000
 may

00:32:58.000 --> 00:32:58.380
 find

00:32:58.380 --> 00:32:59.080
 difficult

00:32:59.080 --> 00:32:59.400
 or

00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:00.039
 challenging

00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.480
 hard

00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:03.400
 wearisome

00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:04.460
 but

00:33:04.460 --> 00:33:04.680
 maybe

00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:04.900
 for

00:33:04.900 --> 00:33:05.220
 different

00:33:05.220 --> 00:33:05.620
 reasons

00:33:05.620 --> 00:33:05.860
 than

00:33:05.860 --> 00:33:06.279
 Timothy

00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.779
 as

00:33:08.779 --> 00:33:09.059
 Jesus

00:33:09.059 --> 00:33:09.460
 parable

00:33:09.460 --> 00:33:09.600
 of

00:33:09.600 --> 00:33:09.720
 the

00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:10.079
 talents

00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:10.360
 made

00:33:10.360 --> 00:33:10.759
 clear

00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:12.640
 we

00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:12.779
 will

00:33:12.779 --> 00:33:13.000
 all

00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:13.279
 have

00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:13.460
 to

00:33:13.460 --> 00:33:13.740
 someday

00:33:13.740 --> 00:33:14.000
 give

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:14.100
 an

00:33:14.100 --> 00:33:14.519
 account

00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:15.600
 before

00:33:15.600 --> 00:33:15.799
 the

00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:16.059
 king

00:33:16.059 --> 00:33:18.039
 did

00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:18.200
 we

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:18.680
 use

00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:19.120
 that

00:33:19.120 --> 00:33:19.400
 which

00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:19.620
 was

00:33:19.620 --> 00:33:20.140
 entrusted

00:33:20.140 --> 00:33:20.420
 to
