00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.759
 Finally, all of you have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and humble mind.

00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:12.280
! A tender heart and humble mind.

00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:21.120
 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless.

00:00:21.980 --> 00:00:25.400
 For to this you were called that you may obtain a blessing.

00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:31.439
 for whoever desires to love life and see good days

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:34.219
 let him keep his tongue from evil

00:00:34.219 --> 00:00:36.899
 and his lips from speaking deceit

00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:40.280
 let him turn away from evil and do good

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.280
 let him seek peace and pursue it

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.599
 for the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous

00:00:45.599 --> 00:00:49.099
 and his ears are open to their prayer

00:00:49.099 --> 00:00:54.200
 but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil

00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:55.640
 amen

00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.540
 I want you to look back at the beginning of verse 8

00:00:59.540 --> 00:01:02.780
 notice just the first phrase that Peter uses

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:05.079
 finally all of you he says

00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.879
 now I always perked up as a kid

00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.340
 whenever the preacher would use a term like finally

00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:15.740
 it usually meant that he was about to wrap things up

00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:17.520
 and I was going to be able to move on with my day

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:20.079
 and enjoy my time with my friends

00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.560
 let's be honest we all know what it's like to

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.560
 grow a bit weary or distracted throughout the course of a

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.299
 an extended monologue

00:01:29.299 --> 00:01:34.960
 and the relief that we sense when we get one of those signal words like

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:37.000
 finally or lastly

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.799
 but alas those tricky preachers

00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:46.060
 they don't always mean that they're wrapping up the sermon when they use a word like this

00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:49.579
 sometimes they just mean that they're wrapping up that part of the sermon

00:01:49.579 --> 00:01:52.180
 and you've got a little way still yet to go

00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:56.180
 and that's basically what Peter's doing at this point in his letter

00:01:56.180 --> 00:02:02.180
 we get to this verse and he says finally doesn't mean to signal that he's beginning the end of the letter

00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:11.240
 but rather he's drawing a conclusion to this section of the letter that he began all the way back in chapter 2 in verse 11

00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:17.760
 remember it was in a verses 11 and 12 that we said those were functioning as something of an introduction to this section

00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:23.259
 kind of like a doorway into the house that is this section of the letter

00:02:23.259 --> 00:02:25.879
 and he moved on from there and he's covering different things

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.759
 well now we get to 8 to 12

00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:34.500
 and this is really functioning as something of a conclusion or a summary to the section that we've just walked through

00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:37.060
 it's also functioning as a bridge

00:02:37.060 --> 00:02:41.039
 that gets us into the rest of chapter 3 and chapter 4

00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.759
 where really the focus is on suffering

00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:44.419
 suffering

00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:48.819
 so in this part of the letter Peter has been instructing Christians

00:02:48.819 --> 00:02:51.979
 on how to live in the fear of God

00:02:51.979 --> 00:02:55.299
 while also living under the authority of men

00:02:55.299 --> 00:02:56.780
 and of course

00:02:56.780 --> 00:03:00.899
 the focus of living under that authority is not just of men

00:03:00.899 --> 00:03:02.799
 but even especially of

00:03:02.799 --> 00:03:05.000
 wicked and unbelieving men

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.379
 the theme of the section

00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:08.859
 is submission

00:03:08.859 --> 00:03:11.120
 Jesus

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.340
 Jesus

00:03:12.340 --> 00:03:13.960
 is the example of the section

00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.920
 and it is his suffering for our sins

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:19.680
 his atonement

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.680
 that provides the hope

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.180
 of the section

00:03:23.180 --> 00:03:26.340
 so Jesus shows us how we are to

00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:28.120
 suffer righteously

00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.259
 and it is his suffering for our sins

00:03:31.259 --> 00:03:34.040
 that reassures us of a future hope

00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:35.740
 beyond this exile

00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:36.900
 beyond this time

00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:39.020
 of suffering injustices

00:03:39.020 --> 00:03:41.040
 and then of course

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:44.500
 Jesus helps us to endure that suffering

00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:46.060
 as we face

00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:48.860
 as we face it for his sake in this life

00:03:48.860 --> 00:03:51.120
 now after addressing these

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.200
 specific circumstances

00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:54.560
 of Christian citizens

00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:55.879
 and then Christian slaves

00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:57.560
 and then Christian wives

00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:58.719
 as we covered last week

00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.160
 in this concluding section

00:04:01.160 --> 00:04:02.620
 Peter addresses

00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:04.660
 all of you

00:04:04.660 --> 00:04:07.240
 notice this is very simple

00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:07.600
 isn't it

00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:09.040
 this is just clear

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:10.100
 from your English classes

00:04:10.100 --> 00:04:10.400
 right

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:11.260
 what's happening here

00:04:11.260 --> 00:04:11.800
 in the literature

00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.100
 he's addressed three specific categories

00:04:14.100 --> 00:04:14.520
 of people

00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:15.159
 and now he's saying

00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.500
 in case you didn't get any of that

00:04:16.500 --> 00:04:17.860
 let me just make it clear

00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:19.360
 I'm talking to everyone now

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:20.620
 all of you

00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:23.600
 and no matter what

00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:24.879
 their specific circumstances

00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:25.579
 may entail

00:04:25.579 --> 00:04:26.920
 he has something for them to hear

00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.460
 and it actually serves

00:04:28.460 --> 00:04:29.340
 as a fitting summary

00:04:29.340 --> 00:04:31.000
 for everything that he's been saying

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.300
 in the last few passages

00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:34.079
 so what exactly is it

00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:34.960
 that Peter's concerned

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:37.819
 to say to all of us

00:04:37.819 --> 00:04:41.540
 the emphasis of this final instruction

00:04:41.540 --> 00:04:44.600
 is on the Christian's responsibility

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.180
 to bless others

00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:51.199
 and it's not only a responsibility

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:52.360
 to bless others

00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.639
 it's a responsibility to bless

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.720
 all others

00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.379
 no matter who they are

00:04:59.379 --> 00:05:01.779
 no matter what they've done

00:05:01.779 --> 00:05:04.360
 and we see this theme

00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.120
 of continuing here

00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:07.500
 where Peter is instructing us

00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:08.439
 over and over

00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.600
 in the difficult circumstances of life

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.379
 as you face suffering

00:05:13.379 --> 00:05:14.740
 for the sake of the gospel

00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:17.279
 as you're dealing with wicked people

00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:18.740
 in many occasions

00:05:18.740 --> 00:05:20.199
 as you're dealing with unbelievers

00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:21.819
 as you're dealing with oppressors

00:05:21.819 --> 00:05:23.259
 and abusers in your life

00:05:23.259 --> 00:05:24.959
 over and over he says

00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.620
 don't retaliate

00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:28.560
 don't retaliate

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.100
 and stoop to their level

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:31.720
 there's a different way

00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.259
 that God intends for you to live

00:05:33.259 --> 00:05:34.180
 that's essentially

00:05:34.180 --> 00:05:34.939
 what he's been saying

00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:35.959
 these last three sections

00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.259
 now he's qualifying that again here

00:05:38.259 --> 00:05:38.819
 and he's saying

00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:39.660
 all of you

00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:40.840
 bless others

00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:41.800
 no matter who they are

00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:42.620
 and what they've done

00:05:42.620 --> 00:05:44.280
 and the point is

00:05:44.280 --> 00:05:45.300
 that as God's people

00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:45.899
 in the world

00:05:45.899 --> 00:05:47.959
 we are called to bless

00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:49.600
 the people of the world

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.319
 and we do that

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:53.560
 in light of the fact

00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.480
 that we are on our way

00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:56.759
 to the blessing of God

00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.240
 this future inheritance

00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:00.939
 that is undergirding

00:06:00.939 --> 00:06:01.860
 this whole letter

00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:03.140
 as we go through

00:06:03.140 --> 00:06:04.000
 this time of exile

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:04.860
 everything we covered

00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:05.720
 in chapter 1

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:06.840
 that blessing

00:06:06.840 --> 00:06:08.100
 that is to be obtained

00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:09.100
 by God's people

00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:10.740
 we bless others

00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:12.840
 in light of that truth

00:06:12.840 --> 00:06:14.100
 so again

00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:15.120
 at the heart

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:15.920
 of this instruction

00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:16.420
 is what?

00:06:17.140 --> 00:06:17.960
 it's the gospel

00:06:17.960 --> 00:06:18.520
 isn't it?

00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:20.319
 it's the gospel

00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:21.640
 that Jesus has provided

00:06:21.640 --> 00:06:22.379
 a way for us

00:06:22.379 --> 00:06:23.420
 to be at peace with God

00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:23.860
 that God

00:06:23.860 --> 00:06:25.400
 in his loving grace

00:06:25.400 --> 00:06:26.160
 has called us

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:27.000
 to be his own

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:27.960
 he has chosen us

00:06:27.960 --> 00:06:29.560
 he's regenerated us

00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:30.340
 he's called us

00:06:30.340 --> 00:06:30.960
 out of darkness

00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:32.340
 and into his marvelous light

00:06:32.340 --> 00:06:33.340
 we are headed

00:06:33.340 --> 00:06:34.420
 to an imperishable

00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:35.259
 and unfading

00:06:35.259 --> 00:06:36.420
 inheritance

00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:38.340
 and in light of that

00:06:38.340 --> 00:06:39.600
 we're going to live

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:40.879
 to bless other people

00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.000
 even those

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:42.860
 who are not

00:06:42.860 --> 00:06:43.400
 themselves

00:06:43.400 --> 00:06:43.939
 headed toward

00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:44.860
 that same inheritance

00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:46.660
 now the call

00:06:46.660 --> 00:06:47.199
 to bless

00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:47.699
 comes in

00:06:47.699 --> 00:06:48.939
 actually in verse 9

00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:50.400
 the second half of it

00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:50.739
 he says

00:06:50.739 --> 00:06:51.439
 on the contrary

00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:52.279
 bless

00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.919
 for to this

00:06:54.919 --> 00:06:56.839
 you were called

00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.859
 that you may obtain

00:06:58.859 --> 00:07:00.060
 a blessing

00:07:00.060 --> 00:07:02.000
 now the primary command

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:02.560
 here is clear

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:03.459
 isn't it?

00:07:04.179 --> 00:07:05.459
 rather than do evil

00:07:05.459 --> 00:07:06.439
 to others

00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.039
 rather than speak evil

00:07:09.039 --> 00:07:10.139
 of others

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:12.060
 Christians are to

00:07:12.060 --> 00:07:13.579
 bless them

00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:15.120
 but the question is

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.419
 what does that actually mean?

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:18.120
 what does it mean

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:19.040
 when Peter says

00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:20.160
 that we are to

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:21.240
 bless

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:22.000
 that we are to

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:22.560
 bless

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:23.879
 other people

00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.579
 I don't want you

00:07:25.579 --> 00:07:26.579
 to think about this

00:07:26.579 --> 00:07:27.620
 blessing

00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:29.100
 in the scripture

00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:30.800
 in this formal sense

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.759
 is a priestly

00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:33.800
 function

00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.439
 it involves

00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:37.519
 going to God

00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:38.319
 on behalf

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:39.639
 of someone else

00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.079
 to seek

00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:41.939
 his favor

00:07:41.939 --> 00:07:42.819
 and grace

00:07:42.819 --> 00:07:43.860
 on their lives

00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:45.620
 and then it is

00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:46.620
 taking the truth

00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:47.120
 of God

00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.540
 and pronouncing

00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:49.300
 a blessing

00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:50.920
 on the recipients

00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:51.920
 of that blessing

00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:52.819
 in accordance

00:07:52.819 --> 00:07:53.579
 with the truth

00:07:53.579 --> 00:07:54.540
 you see it's

00:07:54.540 --> 00:07:55.579
 you go to God

00:07:55.579 --> 00:07:56.019
 on behalf

00:07:56.019 --> 00:07:56.780
 of someone else

00:07:56.780 --> 00:07:57.860
 you seek his favor

00:07:57.860 --> 00:07:58.699
 on their lives

00:07:58.699 --> 00:07:59.680
 and then you take

00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:00.379
 his truth

00:08:00.379 --> 00:08:01.340
 and you communicate

00:08:01.340 --> 00:08:01.939
 that truth

00:08:01.939 --> 00:08:02.680
 you communicate

00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:03.379
 the blessing

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:04.360
 you pronounce

00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:04.939
 the blessing

00:08:04.939 --> 00:08:06.340
 in accord

00:08:06.340 --> 00:08:07.800
 with what God

00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:08.399
 has said

00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:09.379
 and who is at

00:08:09.379 --> 00:08:09.980
 that function

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:10.680
 to do this

00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:11.660
 on a regular basis

00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:12.680
 it was the priest

00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:13.300
 who did this

00:08:13.300 --> 00:08:15.100
 it was a priestly

00:08:15.100 --> 00:08:16.220
 function in the home

00:08:16.220 --> 00:08:17.620
 fathers to bless

00:08:17.620 --> 00:08:18.220
 their families

00:08:18.220 --> 00:08:18.900
 it's a priestly

00:08:18.900 --> 00:08:20.000
 function of course

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:20.540
 in the nation

00:08:20.540 --> 00:08:20.960
 of Israel

00:08:20.960 --> 00:08:21.460
 the priest

00:08:21.460 --> 00:08:22.460
 operating

00:08:22.460 --> 00:08:23.720
 this way

00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.840
 and then we see

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:27.100
 here in chapter 2

00:08:27.100 --> 00:08:28.040
 of 1 Peter

00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:29.480
 verses 5 and 10

00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.680
 what is it that he

00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:31.600
 calls Christians

00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.340
 he says that we are

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:35.620
 a holy

00:08:35.620 --> 00:08:37.279
 priesthood

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.059
 as God's priestly

00:08:41.059 --> 00:08:42.240
 representatives

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:43.279
 in the world

00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:44.419
 we are called

00:08:44.419 --> 00:08:45.799
 to be a blessing

00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:46.759
 to others

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:47.860
 to seek

00:08:47.860 --> 00:08:48.959
 God's favor

00:08:48.959 --> 00:08:50.059
 to seek

00:08:50.059 --> 00:08:51.360
 God's grace

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:52.519
 for them

00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:53.600
 and then to

00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:54.139
 pronounce

00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:55.220
 his blessing

00:08:55.220 --> 00:08:56.319
 in accord

00:08:56.319 --> 00:08:57.220
 with his

00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:58.220
 gospel

00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:00.259
 and notice

00:09:00.259 --> 00:09:00.519
 this

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:01.879
 this call

00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:02.539
 to bless

00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:03.120
 is

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.360
 not separate

00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:05.320
 from

00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:06.180
 it's actually

00:09:06.180 --> 00:09:06.919
 rooted in

00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:07.480
 the call

00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:08.379
 to believe

00:09:08.379 --> 00:09:08.940
 and I've said

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:09.759
 this many times

00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:10.940
 in this study

00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:11.720
 calling

00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:12.800
 in the New Testament

00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:14.080
 never refers

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:14.940
 to vocation

00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:15.419
 or gifting

00:09:15.419 --> 00:09:17.000
 we use the term

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:17.480
 that way

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:18.240
 it's not a problem

00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:18.960
 to use the term

00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:19.539
 that way

00:09:19.539 --> 00:09:20.340
 but that's not

00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:21.180
 how the New Testament

00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:21.860
 scriptures use

00:09:21.860 --> 00:09:22.379
 the term

00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:23.659
 calling

00:09:23.659 --> 00:09:24.519
 in the New Testament

00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:25.759
 is always rooted

00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:26.740
 in the effectual

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:27.759
 call of God

00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:28.940
 to salvation

00:09:28.940 --> 00:09:30.740
 and then there's

00:09:30.740 --> 00:09:31.220
 all these

00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:32.000
 implications

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:32.860
 that flow out

00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:33.399
 of that call

00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:34.779
 because God

00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:35.579
 has called

00:09:35.579 --> 00:09:35.980
 us

00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:37.039
 to salvation

00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:37.659
 because he

00:09:37.659 --> 00:09:38.799
 has effectually

00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:39.500
 effectively

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:39.980
 that means

00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:40.419
 that it

00:09:40.419 --> 00:09:40.919
 achieves

00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:41.399
 its end

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:42.220
 when God

00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:42.699
 does his

00:09:42.699 --> 00:09:43.500
 saving call

00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:44.439
 he affects

00:09:44.439 --> 00:09:45.000
 the end

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:45.600
 of that call

00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:46.019
 which is

00:09:46.019 --> 00:09:46.419
 to grant

00:09:46.419 --> 00:09:46.840
 us faith

00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:47.379
 and repentance

00:09:47.379 --> 00:09:48.779
 when he

00:09:48.779 --> 00:09:49.600
 does that

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:50.639
 he also

00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:51.459
 calls us

00:09:51.459 --> 00:09:52.319
 to a life

00:09:52.319 --> 00:09:53.879
 of

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.360
 righteousness

00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:56.259
 and holiness

00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:57.480
 so when Peter

00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:57.960
 comes here

00:09:57.960 --> 00:09:58.419
 and he says

00:09:58.419 --> 00:09:59.019
 that you are

00:09:59.019 --> 00:09:59.919
 called to this

00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:00.519
 you are called

00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:01.059
 to bless

00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:01.720
 he's not

00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:02.319
 talking about

00:10:02.319 --> 00:10:02.840
 a calling

00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:03.280
 that is

00:10:03.280 --> 00:10:03.860
 separate

00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:04.399
 from your

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:04.879
 salvation

00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:05.740
 he's actually

00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:06.360
 talking about

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:06.820
 a calling

00:10:06.820 --> 00:10:07.340
 that is

00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:08.139
 rooted

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:09.139
 in your

00:10:09.139 --> 00:10:09.700
 salvation

00:10:09.700 --> 00:10:10.960
 that because

00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:11.540
 God has

00:10:11.540 --> 00:10:11.980
 called you

00:10:11.980 --> 00:10:12.519
 to be his

00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:12.860
 own

00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:13.580
 he has

00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:14.399
 also called

00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:15.000
 you to be

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:15.660
 his priestly

00:10:15.660 --> 00:10:16.379
 representatives

00:10:16.379 --> 00:10:17.500
 to bless

00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:18.139
 the people

00:10:18.139 --> 00:10:19.280
 in the world

00:10:19.280 --> 00:10:19.780
 to bless

00:10:19.780 --> 00:10:20.379
 the people

00:10:20.379 --> 00:10:22.320
 around you

00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:23.440
 Terry just

00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:23.920
 read it a

00:10:23.920 --> 00:10:24.519
 moment ago

00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:25.280
 did you pick

00:10:25.280 --> 00:10:25.700
 it up at

00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:26.320
 the end of

00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:27.080
 Romans chapter

00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:27.519
 six maybe

00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:28.080
 just flip there

00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:28.519
 real quickly

00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:28.920
 I think it

00:10:28.920 --> 00:10:29.480
 would be helpful

00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:30.500
 to set our

00:10:30.500 --> 00:10:31.060
 eyes on it

00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:33.239
 again just

00:10:33.239 --> 00:10:33.699
 at the very

00:10:33.699 --> 00:10:34.159
 end of

00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:34.759
 Romans chapter

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:35.419
 six and

00:10:35.419 --> 00:10:36.479
 what Terry

00:10:36.479 --> 00:10:37.059
 read a

00:10:37.059 --> 00:10:37.819
 moment ago

00:10:37.819 --> 00:10:40.359
 in verse

00:10:40.359 --> 00:10:42.500
 was it six

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:42.919
 that you read

00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:43.539
 Terry it was

00:10:43.539 --> 00:10:43.979
 six wasn't

00:10:43.979 --> 00:10:44.439
 it

00:10:44.439 --> 00:10:50.500
 yeah so

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:51.379
 verse 20

00:10:51.379 --> 00:10:52.459
 when you were

00:10:52.459 --> 00:10:53.279
 slaves of sin

00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:53.839
 you were free

00:10:53.839 --> 00:10:54.439
 in regard to

00:10:54.439 --> 00:10:55.279
 righteousness but

00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:55.899
 what fruit were

00:10:55.899 --> 00:10:56.519
 you getting at

00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:57.019
 the time of

00:10:57.019 --> 00:10:57.579
 those things

00:10:57.579 --> 00:10:58.059
 which you are

00:10:58.059 --> 00:10:58.679
 now ashamed

00:10:58.679 --> 00:10:59.679
 of for the

00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:00.119
 end of those

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.019
 things is death

00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:02.159
 but now you

00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:02.779
 have been set

00:11:02.779 --> 00:11:03.779
 free from sin

00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:04.440
 and have

00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:05.259
 become slaves

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:05.879
 of God

00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:07.639
 the fruit you

00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:08.899
 get does

00:11:08.899 --> 00:11:10.139
 what leads

00:11:10.139 --> 00:11:10.600
 to

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.799
 sanctification

00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:14.299
 and what is

00:11:14.299 --> 00:11:14.940
 the end of

00:11:14.940 --> 00:11:15.759
 sanctification

00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:17.799
 eternal life

00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:19.139
 is that not

00:11:19.139 --> 00:11:19.679
 what Peter's

00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:20.120
 saying here

00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:20.960
 in in this

00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:21.399
 section

00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.100
 he's saying

00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:23.500
 God has

00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:24.180
 called you

00:11:24.180 --> 00:11:25.180
 to sanctification

00:11:25.180 --> 00:11:26.200
 this act of

00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:27.360
 of holiness

00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:28.180
 which is to

00:11:28.180 --> 00:11:29.080
 bless others

00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:29.639
 to represent

00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:29.980
 and will

00:11:29.980 --> 00:11:30.420
 in the world

00:11:30.420 --> 00:11:31.120
 and that

00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:31.560
 blessing

00:11:31.560 --> 00:11:32.240
 comes with

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:32.680
 a blessing

00:11:32.680 --> 00:11:33.220
 from God

00:11:33.220 --> 00:11:33.780
 and that

00:11:33.780 --> 00:11:34.080
 is the

00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:34.460
 blessing

00:11:34.460 --> 00:11:34.920
 of eternal

00:11:34.920 --> 00:11:35.259
 life

00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:35.759
 but it

00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:36.040
 would be

00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:36.520
 inappropriate

00:11:36.520 --> 00:11:37.120
 to say

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:37.820
 well we

00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:38.840
 receive that

00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:40.639
 blessing from

00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:40.920
 God

00:11:40.920 --> 00:11:41.220
 and that

00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:41.960
 eternal life

00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:42.780
 on the basis

00:11:42.780 --> 00:11:43.540
 of how well

00:11:43.540 --> 00:11:44.020
 we bless

00:11:44.020 --> 00:11:44.440
 others

00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:44.860
 that would

00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:45.139
 be a

00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:45.379
 work

00:11:45.379 --> 00:11:45.960
 salvation

00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:46.740
 that's

00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:47.060
 not what

00:11:47.060 --> 00:11:47.440
 Peter's

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:47.800
 saying

00:11:47.800 --> 00:11:49.080
 which is

00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:49.400
 why we

00:11:49.400 --> 00:11:49.700
 need to

00:11:49.700 --> 00:11:50.139
 understand

00:11:50.139 --> 00:11:50.620
 this word

00:11:50.620 --> 00:11:50.980
 call

00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:51.360
 will

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:51.700
 it's

00:11:51.700 --> 00:11:52.020
 the same

00:11:52.020 --> 00:11:52.220
 thing

00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:52.560
 Paul's

00:11:52.560 --> 00:11:52.720
 saying

00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:52.980
 in that

00:11:52.980 --> 00:11:53.259
 verse

00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:53.680
 in Romans

00:11:53.680 --> 00:11:54.120
 6

00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:54.680
 it's

00:11:54.680 --> 00:11:55.080
 rooted

00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:55.580
 in the

00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:55.820
 call

00:11:55.820 --> 00:11:56.020
 to

00:11:56.020 --> 00:11:56.580
 salvation

00:11:56.580 --> 00:11:57.400
 and the

00:11:57.400 --> 00:11:58.139
 implications

00:11:58.139 --> 00:11:58.860
 of that

00:11:58.860 --> 00:11:59.540
 is that

00:11:59.540 --> 00:11:59.920
 there's a

00:11:59.920 --> 00:12:00.340
 way that

00:12:00.340 --> 00:12:00.940
 God intends

00:12:00.940 --> 00:12:01.240
 for his

00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:01.720
 people to

00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:02.060
 live

00:12:02.060 --> 00:12:03.560
 the evidence

00:12:03.560 --> 00:12:04.500
 of their

00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:04.940
 faith

00:12:04.940 --> 00:12:06.100
 and the

00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:06.620
 outworking

00:12:06.620 --> 00:12:07.000
 of that

00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:07.320
 is the

00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:07.780
 obtaining

00:12:07.779 --> 00:12:09.019
 blessing

00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:08.639
 of the

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:09.019
 blessing

00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:09.379
 of this

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:09.799
 future

00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:10.500
 inheritance

00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:11.480
 God

00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:11.860
 has

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:12.759
 called

00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:12.959
 you

00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:13.159
 to

00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:13.620
 this

00:12:13.620 --> 00:12:14.579
 when

00:12:14.579 --> 00:12:14.759
 he

00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:15.120
 called

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:15.379
 you

00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:16.039
 to

00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:16.539
 himself

00:12:16.539 --> 00:12:19.360
 and it

00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:19.699
 comes with

00:12:19.699 --> 00:12:20.199
 this promise

00:12:20.199 --> 00:12:20.620
 doesn't it

00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:21.179
 God calls

00:12:21.179 --> 00:12:21.480
 us to

00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:21.819
 bless

00:12:21.819 --> 00:12:22.179
 so that

00:12:22.179 --> 00:12:22.319
 we

00:12:22.319 --> 00:12:22.519
 may

00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:22.879
 obtain

00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:23.059
 the

00:12:23.059 --> 00:12:23.399
 blessing

00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:23.980
 not

00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:24.179
 the

00:12:24.179 --> 00:12:24.559
 blessing

00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:24.779
 of

00:12:24.779 --> 00:12:25.139
 men

00:12:25.139 --> 00:12:26.679
 but

00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:26.839
 the

00:12:26.839 --> 00:12:27.199
 blessing

00:12:27.199 --> 00:12:27.419
 of

00:12:27.419 --> 00:12:27.759
 God

00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:29.220
 the

00:12:29.220 --> 00:12:29.459
 truth

00:12:29.459 --> 00:12:29.620
 is

00:12:29.620 --> 00:12:29.959
 there's

00:12:29.959 --> 00:12:30.399
 no

00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:30.860
 guarantee

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:31.459
 that

00:12:31.459 --> 00:12:32.079
 people

00:12:32.079 --> 00:12:32.360
 will

00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:32.860
 reward

00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:33.120
 your

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:33.579
 kindness

00:12:33.579 --> 00:12:34.059
 toward

00:12:34.059 --> 00:12:34.439
 them

00:12:34.439 --> 00:12:36.000
 but

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:36.339
 there is

00:12:36.339 --> 00:12:36.480
 a

00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.500
 100%

00:12:37.500 --> 00:12:38.039

00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:39.220
 that

00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:39.480
 God

00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:40.139
 smiles

00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:40.500
 on his

00:12:40.500 --> 00:12:40.920
 people

00:12:40.920 --> 00:12:41.860
 when

00:12:41.860 --> 00:12:42.039
 they

00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:42.360
 seek

 his

 favor

00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.159
 and

 and what a

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:29.599
 privilege it

00:15:29.599 --> 00:15:30.299
 is for us

00:15:30.299 --> 00:15:30.620
 to do

00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:30.919
 that

00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:31.599
 but who

00:15:31.599 --> 00:15:32.259
 exactly is

00:15:32.259 --> 00:15:32.679
 it that we

00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:33.459
 are to

00:15:33.459 --> 00:15:33.759
 be a

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:34.099
 blessing

00:15:34.099 --> 00:15:34.519
 to

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.719
 I think

00:15:35.719 --> 00:15:36.059
 we can

00:15:36.059 --> 00:15:36.639
 discern

00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:37.139
 at least

00:15:37.139 --> 00:15:38.179
 two groups

00:15:38.179 --> 00:15:38.659
 of people

00:15:38.659 --> 00:15:39.059
 in this

00:15:39.059 --> 00:15:39.479
 particular

00:15:39.479 --> 00:15:40.099
 text

00:15:40.099 --> 00:15:41.239
 first

00:15:41.239 --> 00:15:43.199
 we're to

00:15:43.199 --> 00:15:43.719
 bless one

00:15:43.719 --> 00:15:44.059
 another

00:15:44.059 --> 00:15:46.059
 to bless

00:15:46.059 --> 00:15:46.559
 one another

00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.079
 look at

00:15:48.079 --> 00:15:48.539
 verse 8

00:15:48.539 --> 00:15:50.439
 finally all

00:15:50.439 --> 00:15:50.819
 of you

00:15:50.819 --> 00:15:52.839
 have unity

00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:53.460
 of mind

00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:55.120
 sympathy

00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:56.780
 brotherly

00:15:56.780 --> 00:15:57.280
 love

00:15:57.280 --> 00:15:58.720
 a tender

00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.259
 heart

00:15:59.259 --> 00:16:00.379
 and a

00:16:00.379 --> 00:16:00.600
 humble

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:01.100
 mind

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:03.720
 Peter's

00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:04.100
 clearly

00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:04.920
 speaking about

00:16:04.920 --> 00:16:05.460
 our spirit

00:16:05.460 --> 00:16:06.019
 and conduct

00:16:06.019 --> 00:16:06.920
 toward other

00:16:06.920 --> 00:16:07.460
 Christians at

00:16:07.460 --> 00:16:07.820
 this point

00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:08.200
 isn't he

00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.280
 these traits

00:16:10.280 --> 00:16:10.980
 they demonstrate

00:16:10.980 --> 00:16:11.680
 what it looks

00:16:11.680 --> 00:16:12.280
 like to be a

00:16:12.280 --> 00:16:12.800
 blessing to

00:16:12.800 --> 00:16:13.480
 other believers

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:14.580
 in the life

00:16:14.580 --> 00:16:15.680
 of the local

00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:16.240
 church

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:17.600
 let's just

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:17.980
 walk through

00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:18.500
 them quickly

00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:20.740
 this word

00:16:20.740 --> 00:16:21.379
 that's behind

00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:22.100
 unity of

00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:22.540
 mind

00:16:22.539 --> 00:16:22.959
 it's the

00:16:22.959 --> 00:16:23.379
 word for

00:16:23.379 --> 00:16:23.879
 harmony

00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:24.740
 which is a

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:25.000
 common

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:25.480
 instruction

00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:25.839
 in the

00:16:25.839 --> 00:16:26.339
 New Testament

00:16:26.339 --> 00:16:28.139
 it doesn't

00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:28.599
 mean that we

00:16:28.599 --> 00:16:29.299
 never disagree

00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:30.120
 that would be

00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:30.579
 impossible

00:16:30.579 --> 00:16:31.079
 wouldn't it

00:16:31.079 --> 00:16:33.679
 what it means

00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:34.439
 is that our

00:16:34.439 --> 00:16:35.099
 pursuit

00:16:35.099 --> 00:16:36.000
 even in

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:36.659
 disagreement

00:16:36.659 --> 00:16:38.500
 is to live

00:16:38.500 --> 00:16:39.179
 in harmony

00:16:39.179 --> 00:16:39.759
 with one

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:40.139
 another

00:16:40.139 --> 00:16:41.539
 as God's

00:16:41.539 --> 00:16:41.860
 people

00:16:41.860 --> 00:16:42.799
 as the

00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:43.240
 church

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:44.579
 harmonious

00:16:44.579 --> 00:16:44.939
 living

00:16:44.939 --> 00:16:47.519
 and that

00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:48.039
 happens

00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:48.579
 only

00:16:48.580 --> 00:16:48.700
 harmony

00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:50.080
 when our

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:50.480
 unity

00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.080
 is rooted

00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:51.800
 deeply

00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:52.920
 in our

00:16:52.920 --> 00:16:53.240
 union

00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:53.460
 with

00:16:53.460 --> 00:16:53.960
 Christ

00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:54.720
 and

00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:54.920
 his

00:16:54.920 --> 00:16:55.300
 gospel

00:16:55.300 --> 00:16:57.200
 you know

00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:57.440
 what

00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:58.220
 tends to

00:16:58.220 --> 00:16:58.600
 happen

00:16:58.600 --> 00:16:59.320
 in churches

00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:00.200
 when this

00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:01.000
 spirit

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:01.600
 of unity

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:02.320
 this unity

00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:02.879
 of mind

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:03.580
 begins to

00:17:03.580 --> 00:17:04.100
 falter

00:17:04.100 --> 00:17:05.660
 it's because

00:17:05.660 --> 00:17:06.380
 they've lost

00:17:06.380 --> 00:17:07.519
 focus on the

00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:08.180
 most essential

00:17:08.180 --> 00:17:08.680
 things

00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:09.120
 they've lost

00:17:09.120 --> 00:17:09.880
 focus on the

00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:10.240
 gospel

00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:11.039
 they've lost

00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:11.799
 focus on the

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:12.200
 truth of

00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:12.819
 God's word

00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:13.480
 and they've

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:14.539
 begun to root

00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:15.279
 their fellowship

00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:15.740
 with one

00:17:15.740 --> 00:17:16.019
 another

00:17:16.019 --> 00:17:16.660
 in all

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:17.039
 kinds of

00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:17.399
 peripheral

00:17:17.399 --> 00:17:17.920
 things

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.579
 they've

00:17:19.579 --> 00:17:20.279
 rooted their

00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:20.680
 fellowship

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.139
 with one

00:17:21.139 --> 00:17:21.420
 another

00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:21.799
 in a

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:22.160
 common

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:22.700
 style

00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:23.079
 of worship

00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:23.579
 perhaps

00:17:23.579 --> 00:17:24.200
 or they've

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.619
 rooted their

00:17:24.619 --> 00:17:25.000
 fellowship

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:25.440
 with one

00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:25.759
 another

00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:27.519
 in a

00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:28.079
 cultural

00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.980
 hegemony

00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:30.279
 right

00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:30.680
 that just

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:31.200
 we're all

00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:31.599
 alike

00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:31.940
 we all

00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:32.240
 have the

00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:32.399
 same

00:17:32.399 --> 00:17:32.660
 kind of

00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:32.799
 things

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:33.099
 or maybe

00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:33.799
 they've

00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:34.259
 rooted their

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:34.619
 fellowship

00:17:34.619 --> 00:17:35.019
 with one

00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:35.220
 another

00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:35.619
 in life

00:17:35.619 --> 00:17:36.039
 stage

00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:36.680
 well I

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:36.980
 just want

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:37.279
 to be a

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:37.539
 part of

00:17:37.539 --> 00:17:37.960
 a church

00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:38.660
 where there's

00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:39.079
 just more

00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:39.539
 families

00:17:39.539 --> 00:17:40.480
 like my

00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:40.980
 family

00:17:40.980 --> 00:17:41.399
 or there's

00:17:41.399 --> 00:17:41.859
 more people

00:17:41.859 --> 00:17:42.980
 like me

00:17:42.980 --> 00:17:43.599
 or more people

00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:44.180
 that think

00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:44.539
 like me

00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:45.200
 and inevitably

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:46.480
 whenever other

00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:47.059
 people who

00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:47.480
 aren't like

00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:48.019
 that begin

00:17:48.019 --> 00:17:48.400
 to come

00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:48.740
 in

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:49.519
 because your

00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.039
 fellowship's

00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:50.460
 been rooted

00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:50.920
 in that

00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:51.920
 your unity's

00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:52.279
 been rooted

00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:52.620
 in that

00:17:52.620 --> 00:17:53.279
 what happens

00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:54.259
 the unity

00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:54.960
 goes away

00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:56.319
 because it

00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:56.640
 was never

00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:57.120
 really about

00:17:57.120 --> 00:17:57.680
 the gospel

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.500
 it was never

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:00.160
 really about

00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:00.720
 union with

00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:01.160
 Christ

00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:02.960
 this kind

00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:03.400
 of unity

00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:03.940
 of mind

00:18:03.940 --> 00:18:05.039
 only happens

00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:05.500
 when we're

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:06.400
 gospel focused

00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:06.900
 on what we're

00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:07.259
 doing

00:18:07.259 --> 00:18:08.120
 when we keep

00:18:08.120 --> 00:18:08.580
 the main

00:18:08.580 --> 00:18:08.940
 things

00:18:08.940 --> 00:18:09.380
 the main

00:18:09.380 --> 00:18:09.759
 things

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:10.039
 and the

00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:10.400
 essential

00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:10.779
 things

00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:11.299
 the essential

00:18:11.299 --> 00:18:11.840
 things

00:18:11.840 --> 00:18:12.759
 of which

00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:13.200
 our

00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:14.360
 unity

00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:15.359
 is rooted

00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:15.919
 together

00:18:15.919 --> 00:18:16.679
 that's how

00:18:16.679 --> 00:18:17.079
 we bless

00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:17.579
 one another

00:18:17.579 --> 00:18:18.779
 we pursue

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:19.399
 this kind

00:18:19.399 --> 00:18:19.939
 of harmony

00:18:19.939 --> 00:18:20.919
 that's rooted

00:18:20.919 --> 00:18:21.639
 in the gospel

00:18:21.639 --> 00:18:23.240
 to have

00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:23.740
 sympathy

00:18:23.740 --> 00:18:24.500
 is to care

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:25.259
 deeply

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:25.819
 about the

00:18:25.819 --> 00:18:26.259
 needs

00:18:26.259 --> 00:18:27.000
 and joys

00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:27.799
 and sorrows

00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:28.179
 of other

00:18:28.179 --> 00:18:28.579
 Christians

00:18:28.579 --> 00:18:30.619
 it's to

00:18:30.619 --> 00:18:31.079
 rejoice

00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:31.599
 with those

00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:32.219
 who rejoice

00:18:32.219 --> 00:18:33.240
 it's to

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:33.599
 weep

00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:34.139
 with those

00:18:34.139 --> 00:18:35.219
 who weep

00:18:35.219 --> 00:18:37.799
 which requires

00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:38.699
 that we be

00:18:38.699 --> 00:18:39.359
 attuned

00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:40.539
 to one

00:18:40.539 --> 00:18:40.919
 another

00:18:40.919 --> 00:18:42.879
 personally

00:18:42.879 --> 00:18:43.679
 invested

00:18:43.679 --> 00:18:45.079
 in one

00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:45.519
 another's

00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:46.379
 discipleship

00:18:46.379 --> 00:18:47.859
 isn't that

00:18:47.859 --> 00:18:48.259
 one of those

00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:48.699
 other core

00:18:48.699 --> 00:18:49.319
 values we

00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:49.879
 talk about

00:18:49.879 --> 00:18:50.419
 we talk

00:18:50.419 --> 00:18:51.000
 about gospel

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.579
 focus

00:18:51.579 --> 00:18:52.879
 we also

00:18:52.879 --> 00:18:53.359
 talk about

00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:54.059
 a discipling

00:18:54.059 --> 00:18:54.519
 culture

00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:55.539
 I think

00:18:55.539 --> 00:18:55.899
 that's what's

00:18:55.899 --> 00:18:56.299
 at the heart

00:18:56.299 --> 00:18:56.659
 of this

00:18:56.659 --> 00:18:56.899
 here

00:18:56.899 --> 00:18:59.159
 making such

00:18:59.159 --> 00:18:59.779
 a personal

00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:00.519
 investment

00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:01.579
 that you

00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:02.039
 understand

00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:02.819
 the cares

00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:03.479
 and the needs

00:19:03.479 --> 00:19:04.099
 and the joys

00:19:04.099 --> 00:19:04.819
 and the sorrows

00:19:04.819 --> 00:19:05.479
 of the people

00:19:05.479 --> 00:19:06.319
 with whom

00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:06.679
 you've made

00:19:06.679 --> 00:19:07.039
 a covenant

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:07.579
 with in a

00:19:07.579 --> 00:19:08.299
 local church

00:19:08.299 --> 00:19:09.720
 and you

00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:10.200
 pursue

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:10.919
 that kind

00:19:10.919 --> 00:19:11.460
 of sympathy

00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:12.240
 you invest

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:12.819
 in it

00:19:12.819 --> 00:19:14.000
 can't just

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:14.259
 help you

00:19:14.259 --> 00:19:14.519
 with some

00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:15.000
 easy ways

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:15.299
 to do

00:19:15.299 --> 00:19:15.639
 that

00:19:15.639 --> 00:19:17.700
 you know

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:18.059
 on Tuesday

00:19:18.059 --> 00:19:18.460
 mornings

00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:19.139
 when that

00:19:19.139 --> 00:19:20.680
 church email

00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:21.279
 goes out

00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:22.419
 the first

00:19:22.419 --> 00:19:22.680
 thing it

00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:23.059
 has on

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:23.200
 there

00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:23.500
 is that

00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:23.740
 prayer

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:24.139
 guide

00:19:24.139 --> 00:19:26.659
 every week

00:19:26.659 --> 00:19:27.740
 Becky

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:28.279
 and Sarah

00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:28.700
 are doing

00:19:28.700 --> 00:19:29.319
 such a great

00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:29.879
 job to get

00:19:29.879 --> 00:19:30.319
 on the phone

00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:30.779
 with each

00:19:30.779 --> 00:19:31.000
 of you

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:31.259
 it's a

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:31.500
 different

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:31.779
 member

00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:32.119
 family

00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:32.680
 every week

00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:33.779
 just trying

00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:34.000
 to figure

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:34.279
 out what's

00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:34.599
 going on

00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:34.799
 in your

00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:35.220
 life

00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:36.659
 writing

00:19:36.659 --> 00:19:37.200
 that down

00:19:38.620 --> 00:19:39.000
 one of the

00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:40.019
 easiest ways

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:40.700
 to be

00:19:40.700 --> 00:19:41.339
 invested

00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:41.759
 in one

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.079
 another

00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:42.880
 is just

00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:43.220
 to read

00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:43.660
 that prayer

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:44.039
 guide

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:45.940
 pray for

00:19:45.940 --> 00:19:46.440
 one another

00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:47.779
 and then when

00:19:47.779 --> 00:19:48.259
 you show up

00:19:48.259 --> 00:19:48.700
 at church

00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:49.059
 on Sunday

00:19:49.059 --> 00:19:49.299

00:19:50.460 --> 00:19:50.700

00:19:50.700 --> 00:19:51.100
 men's group

00:19:51.100 --> 00:19:51.360

00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:55.339
 going

00:19:55.339 --> 00:19:55.660
 how's

00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:56.420
 the Lord

00:19:56.420 --> 00:19:56.819
 working

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.160

00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:57.759
 situation

00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:58.100
 I've been

00:19:58.100 --> 00:19:58.500
 praying

00:19:58.500 --> 00:19:59.200
 for you

00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:00.539
 that's

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:00.799
 what's

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:01.180
 behind

00:20:01.180 --> 00:20:01.700
 this term

00:20:01.700 --> 00:20:01.839
 here

00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:02.019
 that's

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:02.180
 what's

00:20:02.180 --> 00:20:02.480
 behind

00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:03.519
 sympathy

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:03.600
!

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:09.220
 it's

00:20:09.220 --> 00:20:10.240
 hospitable

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:10.759
 toward

00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:11.500
 others

00:20:11.500 --> 00:20:11.779
 it's

00:20:11.779 --> 00:20:12.059
 making

00:20:12.059 --> 00:20:12.740
 relational

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:13.339
 investments

00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:13.600
 it's

00:20:13.600 --> 00:20:13.779
 not

00:20:13.779 --> 00:20:14.120
 seeing

00:20:14.120 --> 00:20:14.480
 church

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:14.640
 as

00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:14.880
 something

00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:15.140
 that I

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:15.360
 do

00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:15.880
 on

00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:16.360
 Sunday

00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:16.740
 and then

00:20:16.740 --> 00:20:16.880
 I've

00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:17.180
 got this

00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:17.500
 whole other

00:20:17.500 --> 00:20:17.759
 life

00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:18.039
 the rest

00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:18.240
 of the

00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:18.420
 week

00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:18.640
 no

00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:18.860
 it's

00:20:18.860 --> 00:20:19.380
 understanding

00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:19.960
 that this

00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:20.380
 is

00:20:20.380 --> 00:20:20.880
 essential

00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:21.180
 it's

00:20:21.180 --> 00:20:21.480
 seeking

00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:21.920
 it out

00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:22.140
 it's

00:20:22.140 --> 00:20:22.539
 mutual

00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:23.600
 discipleship

00:20:23.600 --> 00:20:24.180
 that shows

00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:24.640
 itself

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:25.200
 in deep

00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:25.900
 care

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:26.539
 and concern

00:20:26.539 --> 00:20:26.980
 for one

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:27.420
 another

00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:29.559
 brotherly love

00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:30.160
 as we saw

00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:30.960
 in chapter

00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:31.300
 one

00:20:31.300 --> 00:20:31.600
 and verse

00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:32.019
 22

00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:32.600
 is the

00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:32.960
 fruit

00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:33.220
 of

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:33.580
 genuine

00:20:33.580 --> 00:20:34.279
 conversion

00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:36.040
 Peter

00:20:36.040 --> 00:20:36.340
 said

00:20:36.340 --> 00:20:36.500
 it's

00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:36.779
 to be

00:20:36.779 --> 00:20:37.220
 the

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:37.660
 earnest

00:20:37.660 --> 00:20:38.279
 pursuit

00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:38.519
 of

00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:38.779
 every

00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:39.140
 believer

00:20:39.140 --> 00:20:39.600
 Jesus

00:20:39.600 --> 00:20:39.920
 said

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:40.259
 this is

00:20:40.259 --> 00:20:40.420
 how

00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:40.840
 the

00:20:40.840 --> 00:20:41.080
 world

00:20:41.080 --> 00:20:41.240
 will

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:41.560
 know

00:20:41.560 --> 00:20:41.960
 that

00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:42.080
 you

00:20:42.080 --> 00:20:42.400
 actually

00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:42.740
 follow

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:43.100
 me

00:20:43.100 --> 00:20:43.500
 is

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:43.640
 when

00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:42.980
 says

00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:44.579
 and

00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:44.679
 then

00:22:44.679 --> 00:22:44.819
 we

00:22:44.819 --> 00:22:45.000
 see

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:45.419
 sympathy

00:22:45.419 --> 00:22:45.659
 and

00:22:45.659 --> 00:22:46.179
 compassion

00:22:46.179 --> 00:22:46.399
 are

00:22:46.399 --> 00:22:46.779
 so

00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:47.119
 closely

00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:47.579
 related

00:22:47.579 --> 00:22:47.799
 they're

00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:48.039
 almost

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:48.240
 hard

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:48.379
 to

00:22:48.379 --> 00:22:48.839
 distinguish

00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:49.159
 from

00:22:49.159 --> 00:22:49.319
 one

00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:49.579
 another

00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:49.839
 aren't

00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:50.000
 they

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:50.199
 it's

00:22:50.199 --> 00:22:50.719
 the

00:22:50.719 --> 00:22:51.159
 practical

00:22:51.159 --> 00:22:51.879
 outworking

00:22:51.879 --> 00:22:52.259
 of

00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:52.519
 love

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:52.719
 but

00:22:52.719 --> 00:22:52.959
 right

00:22:52.959 --> 00:22:53.079
 at

00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:53.259
 the

00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:53.659
 heart

00:22:53.659 --> 00:22:54.159
 of

00:22:54.159 --> 00:22:54.319
 the

00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:54.539
 whole

00:22:54.539 --> 00:22:54.799
 thing

00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:54.960
 what

00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:55.159
 all

00:22:55.159 --> 00:22:55.279
 of

00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:55.439
 those

00:22:55.439 --> 00:22:55.659
 things

00:22:55.659 --> 00:22:55.779
 are

00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:55.939
 kind

00:22:55.939 --> 00:22:56.039
 of

00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:56.419
 circling

00:22:56.419 --> 00:22:56.839
 around

00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:58.059
 is

00:22:58.059 --> 00:22:58.259
 this

00:22:58.259 --> 00:22:58.740
 brotherly

00:22:58.740 --> 00:22:59.019
 love

00:22:59.019 --> 00:22:59.199
 that

00:22:59.199 --> 00:22:59.379
 keeps

00:22:59.379 --> 00:22:59.659
 coming

00:22:59.659 --> 00:22:59.839
 up

00:22:59.839 --> 00:22:59.939
 in

00:22:59.939 --> 00:23:00.039
 the

00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:00.319
 letter

00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:04.399
 love

00:23:04.399 --> 00:23:04.480
 is

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:04.579
 at

00:23:04.579 --> 00:23:04.699
 the

00:23:04.699 --> 00:23:04.859
 heart

00:23:04.859 --> 00:23:04.960
 of

00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:05.059
 it

00:23:05.059 --> 00:23:05.359
 all

00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:06.720
 what

00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:06.799
 does

00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:06.899
 it

00:23:06.899 --> 00:23:07.099
 mean

00:23:07.099 --> 00:23:07.259
 for

00:23:07.259 --> 00:23:07.379
 us

00:23:07.379 --> 00:23:07.519
 to

00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:07.839
 bless

00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:08.039
 one

00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:08.319
 another

00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:08.539
 as

00:23:08.539 --> 00:23:08.819
 God's

00:23:08.819 --> 00:23:09.079
 people

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:10.720
 it

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:10.899
 just

00:23:10.899 --> 00:23:11.139
 means

00:23:11.139 --> 00:23:11.319
 to

00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:11.559
 love

00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:11.720
 one

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:11.939
 another

00:23:11.939 --> 00:23:12.379
 well

00:23:12.379 --> 00:23:13.500
 it

00:23:13.500 --> 00:23:13.519
 means

00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:13.639
 to

00:23:13.639 --> 00:23:13.879
 love

00:23:13.879 --> 00:23:14.019
 one

00:23:14.019 --> 00:23:14.259
 another

00:23:14.259 --> 00:23:14.599
 well

00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:16.039
 we

00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:16.139
 need

00:23:16.139 --> 00:23:16.240
 to

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:16.379
 learn

00:23:16.379 --> 00:23:16.519
 to

00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:16.659
 do

00:23:16.659 --> 00:23:16.919
 that

00:23:16.919 --> 00:23:18.500
 now

00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:18.619
 one

00:23:18.619 --> 00:23:18.679
 of

00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:23.480
 this

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:23.699
 here

00:23:23.699 --> 00:23:23.839
 it

00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:24.359
 almost

00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:24.639
 feels

00:23:24.639 --> 00:23:24.859
 out

00:23:24.859 --> 00:23:24.980
 of

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:25.259
 place

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:25.419
 to

00:23:25.419 --> 00:23:25.619
 me

00:23:25.619 --> 00:23:26.000
 this

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:26.740
 particular

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:26.980
 verse

00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:27.159
 this

00:23:27.159 --> 00:23:27.639
 address

00:23:27.639 --> 00:23:27.960
 for

00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:28.819
 relationships

00:23:28.819 --> 00:23:29.199
 in the

00:23:29.199 --> 00:23:29.579
 church

00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:31.279
 you

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:31.339
 know

00:23:31.339 --> 00:23:31.439
 what

00:23:31.439 --> 00:23:31.539
 I

00:23:31.539 --> 00:23:31.740
 really

00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:31.960
 think

00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:32.079
 it

00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:32.240
 is

00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:32.359
 I

00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:32.539
 think

00:23:32.539 --> 00:23:33.039
 essentially

00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:33.779
 it's

00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:34.199
 this

00:23:34.199 --> 00:23:35.460
 Peter

00:23:35.460 --> 00:23:35.980
 saying

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:37.599
 life

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:37.779
 in

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:38.159
 exile

00:23:38.159 --> 00:23:38.419
 is

00:23:38.419 --> 00:23:38.679
 hard

00:23:38.679 --> 00:23:39.299
 enough

00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:41.079
 without

00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:41.399
 us

00:23:41.399 --> 00:23:41.699
 being

00:23:41.699 --> 00:23:41.899
 at

00:23:41.899 --> 00:23:42.139
 war

00:23:42.139 --> 00:23:42.339
 with

00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:42.519
 one

00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:42.899
 another

00:23:42.899 --> 00:23:46.000
 maybe

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:46.179
 I'm

00:23:46.179 --> 00:23:46.339
 off

00:23:46.339 --> 00:23:46.439
 on

00:23:46.439 --> 00:23:46.559
 that

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:46.679
 but

00:23:46.679 --> 00:23:46.799
 I

00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:47.000
 think

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:47.639
 that's

00:23:47.639 --> 00:23:47.759
 what

00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:47.899
 he's

00:23:47.899 --> 00:23:48.139
 getting

00:23:48.139 --> 00:23:48.359
 at

00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:48.619
 here

00:23:48.619 --> 00:23:51.259
 how

00:23:51.259 --> 00:23:51.419
 are

00:23:51.419 --> 00:23:51.559
 we

00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:51.879
 supposed

00:23:51.879 --> 00:23:52.139
 to

00:23:52.139 --> 00:23:52.500
 thrive

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:52.699
 in

00:23:52.699 --> 00:23:53.059
 exile

00:23:53.059 --> 00:23:54.460
 if

00:23:54.460 --> 00:23:54.639
 we

00:23:54.639 --> 00:23:54.879
 can't

00:23:54.879 --> 00:23:55.039
 even

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:55.359
 figure

00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:55.659
 out

00:23:55.659 --> 00:23:55.859
 how

00:23:55.859 --> 00:23:55.980
 to

00:23:55.980 --> 00:23:56.099
 get

00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:56.359
 along

00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:56.539
 with

00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:56.679
 one

00:23:56.679 --> 00:23:57.079
 another

00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:58.159
 and

00:23:58.159 --> 00:23:58.299
 how

00:23:58.299 --> 00:23:58.359
 to

00:23:58.359 --> 00:23:58.480
 have

00:23:58.480 --> 00:23:58.599
 the

00:23:58.599 --> 00:23:58.799
 right

00:23:58.799 --> 00:23:59.200
 focus

00:23:59.200 --> 00:23:59.539
 together

00:23:59.539 --> 00:23:59.740
 if

00:23:59.740 --> 00:23:59.859
 we

00:23:59.859 --> 00:24:00.000
 don't

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:00.179
 even

00:24:00.179 --> 00:24:00.619
 understand

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:00.859
 what

00:24:00.859 --> 00:24:00.980
 it

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:01.240
 looks

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:01.599
 like

00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:02.039
 to

00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:02.299
 be

00:24:02.299 --> 00:24:02.639
 God's

00:24:02.639 --> 00:24:02.919
 people

00:24:02.919 --> 00:24:03.440
 together

00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:03.700
 how

00:24:03.700 --> 00:24:03.839
 in

00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:03.940
 the

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:04.139
 world

00:24:04.139 --> 00:24:04.259
 are

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:04.379
 we

00:24:04.379 --> 00:24:04.519
 going

00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:04.659
 to

00:24:04.659 --> 00:24:05.099
 show

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:05.259
 the

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:05.659
 world

00:24:05.659 --> 00:24:06.899
 God's

00:24:06.899 --> 00:24:07.299
 glory

00:24:07.299 --> 00:24:09.339
 how

00:24:09.339 --> 00:24:09.460
 in

00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:09.579
 the

00:24:09.579 --> 00:24:09.799
 world

00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:09.980
 would

00:24:09.980 --> 00:24:10.079
 they

00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:10.259
 be

00:24:10.259 --> 00:24:10.819
 attractive

00:24:10.819 --> 00:24:11.059
 to

00:24:11.059 --> 00:24:11.220
 a

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:11.579
 gospel

00:24:11.579 --> 00:24:11.779
 that

00:24:11.779 --> 00:24:12.099
 doesn't

00:24:12.099 --> 00:24:12.859
 produce

00:24:12.859 --> 00:24:14.159
 brotherly

00:24:14.159 --> 00:24:14.639
 love

00:24:14.639 --> 00:24:14.839
 and

00:24:16.579 --> 00:24:17.319
 unity

00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:17.859
 and

00:24:17.859 --> 00:24:19.000
 humility

00:24:23.059 --> 00:24:23.139
 right

00:24:23.139 --> 00:24:23.419
 now

00:24:23.419 --> 00:24:24.819
 everyone

00:24:24.819 --> 00:24:25.019
 is

00:24:25.019 --> 00:24:25.299
 preaching

 empathy

 and

00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:26.720
 compassion

00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:27.039
 and

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:27.399
 sympathy

00:24:27.399 --> 00:24:27.659
 but

00:24:27.659 --> 00:24:27.940
 none

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:28.039
 of

00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:28.139
 it

00:24:28.139 --> 00:24:28.279
 is

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:28.579
 rooted

00:24:28.579 --> 00:24:29.119
 in

00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:29.259
 the

00:24:29.259 --> 00:24:29.460
 true

00:24:29.460 --> 00:24:29.819
 gospel

00:24:29.819 --> 00:24:30.019
 which

00:24:30.019 --> 00:24:30.220
 means

00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:30.419
 none

00:24:30.419 --> 00:24:30.500
 of

00:24:30.500 --> 00:24:30.599
 it

00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:30.759
 can

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.099
 actually

00:24:31.099 --> 00:24:31.279
 be

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:31.899
 achieved

00:24:31.899 --> 00:24:32.799
 and

00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:32.980
 here

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:33.159
 we

00:24:33.159 --> 00:24:33.379
 are

00:24:33.379 --> 00:24:33.779
 church

00:24:33.779 --> 00:24:35.019
 we

00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:35.220
 have

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:35.399
 the

00:24:35.399 --> 00:24:35.619
 one

00:24:35.619 --> 00:24:35.859
 thing

00:24:35.859 --> 00:24:36.019
 that

00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:36.179
 can

00:24:36.179 --> 00:24:36.619
 actually

00:24:36.619 --> 00:24:37.039
 produce

00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:37.359
 that

00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:38.339
 it's

00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:38.500
 the

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:38.839
 gospel

00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:39.059
 of

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:39.299
 Jesus

00:24:39.299 --> 00:24:39.539
 and

00:24:39.539 --> 00:24:39.700
 the

00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:39.960
 spirit

00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:40.119
 of

00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:40.339
 God

00:24:40.339 --> 00:24:40.500
 at

00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:40.720
 work

00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:40.899
 through

00:24:40.899 --> 00:24:41.039
 the

00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:41.200
 word

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:41.339
 of

00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:41.500
 God

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:41.700
 we

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:42.000
 have

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:42.119
 it

00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:42.599
 we

00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:42.940
 must

00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:43.500
 pursue

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:44.039
 that

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.659
 if

00:24:44.659 --> 00:24:44.799
 we

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:44.899
 are

00:24:44.899 --> 00:24:45.059
 to

00:24:45.059 --> 00:24:45.559
 demonstrate

00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:46.019
 God's

00:24:46.019 --> 00:24:46.460
 glory

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:47.259
 I

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:47.440
 think

00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:47.659
 that's

00:24:47.659 --> 00:24:47.819
 why

00:24:47.819 --> 00:24:47.980
 he

00:24:47.980 --> 00:24:48.240
 says

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:48.519
 it

00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:49.519
 and

00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:49.720
 we've

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:49.879
 got

00:24:49.879 --> 00:24:50.039
 to

00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:50.179
 get

00:24:50.179 --> 00:24:50.419
 this

00:24:50.419 --> 00:24:50.839
 right

00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:52.679
 but

00:24:52.679 --> 00:24:52.859
 to

00:24:52.859 --> 00:24:53.019
 get

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.179
 it

00:24:53.179 --> 00:24:53.579
 right

00:24:53.579 --> 00:24:54.240
 requires

00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:55.220
 constant

00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:56.759
 diligent

00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:57.599
 pursuits

00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:58.379
 of

00:24:58.379 --> 00:24:58.819
 love

00:24:58.819 --> 00:24:59.159
 and

00:24:59.159 --> 00:24:59.619
 unity

00:24:59.619 --> 00:25:01.619
 and

00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:01.700
 I

00:25:01.700 --> 00:25:01.839
 don't

00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:02.099
 sense

00:25:02.099 --> 00:25:02.259
 that

00:25:02.259 --> 00:25:02.359
 we

00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:02.480
 have

00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:02.599
 a

00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:02.899
 problem

00:25:02.899 --> 00:25:03.079
 with

00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:03.220
 this

00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:03.419
 right

00:25:03.419 --> 00:25:03.639
 now

00:25:03.639 --> 00:25:03.779
 it's

00:25:03.779 --> 00:25:03.919
 just

00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:04.119
 this

00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:04.240
 is

00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:04.480
 what

00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:04.639
 the

00:25:04.639 --> 00:25:04.859
 text

00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:05.019
 is

00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:05.200
 on

00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:05.440
 about

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:05.659
 so

00:25:05.659 --> 00:25:05.759
 I

00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:05.960
 fear

00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:06.139
 it

00:25:06.139 --> 00:25:06.319
 must

00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:06.480
 be

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:06.639
 what

00:25:06.639 --> 00:25:06.779
 the

00:25:06.779 --> 00:25:07.019
 sermon

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:07.259
 must

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:07.419
 be

00:25:07.419 --> 00:25:07.559
 on

00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:07.819
 about

00:25:07.819 --> 00:25:10.179
 can

00:25:10.179 --> 00:25:10.259
 I

00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:10.419
 just

00:25:10.419 --> 00:25:10.639
 say

00:25:10.639 --> 00:25:10.859
 that

00:25:10.859 --> 00:25:11.139
 we

00:25:11.139 --> 00:25:11.740
 might

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:16.059
 uniquely

00:25:16.059 --> 00:25:16.679
 tested

00:25:16.679 --> 00:25:20.539
 we've

00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:20.720
 all

00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:20.960
 heard

00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:21.139
 the

00:25:21.139 --> 00:25:21.379
 horror

00:25:21.379 --> 00:25:21.960
 stories

00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:23.399
 of

00:25:23.399 --> 00:25:23.839
 churches

00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:25.279
 that

00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:25.579
 fall

00:25:25.579 --> 00:25:26.119
 apart

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:27.259
 over

00:25:27.259 --> 00:25:27.740
 trivial

00:25:27.740 --> 00:25:28.419
 matters

00:25:28.419 --> 00:25:29.839
 petty

00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:30.759
 disagreements

00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.539
 we're

00:25:33.539 --> 00:25:33.659
 going to

00:25:33.659 --> 00:25:33.879
 have a

00:25:33.879 --> 00:25:34.139
 lot of

00:25:34.139 --> 00:25:34.559
 opportunity

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:34.960
 in the

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:35.379
 next few

00:25:35.379 --> 00:25:35.759
 months

00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:36.720
 to

00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:37.099
 divide

00:25:37.099 --> 00:25:37.419
 over

00:25:37.419 --> 00:25:37.819
 carpet

00:25:37.819 --> 00:25:37.839
!

00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:38.299
 colors

00:25:38.299 --> 00:25:45.419
 if

00:25:45.420 --> 00:25:45.580
 we

00:25:45.580 --> 00:25:45.779
 get

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:46.360
 distracted

00:25:46.360 --> 00:25:46.660
 by

00:25:46.660 --> 00:25:46.960
 those

00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:47.460
 things

00:25:47.460 --> 00:25:48.180
 buildings

00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:49.539
 budgets

00:25:49.539 --> 00:25:50.000
 and

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:50.519
 programming

00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:51.060
 and

00:25:51.060 --> 00:25:52.220
 how

00:25:52.220 --> 00:25:52.380
 we

00:25:52.380 --> 00:25:52.580
 want

00:25:52.580 --> 00:25:52.840
 things

00:25:52.840 --> 00:25:53.000
 to

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:53.360
 go

00:25:53.360 --> 00:25:55.840
 it's

00:25:55.840 --> 00:25:55.960
 got

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:56.100
 a

00:25:56.100 --> 00:25:56.259
 real

00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:56.660
 chance

00:25:56.660 --> 00:25:57.100
 of

00:25:57.100 --> 00:25:59.259
 causing

00:25:59.259 --> 00:25:59.480
 us

00:25:59.480 --> 00:25:59.779
 to

00:25:59.779 --> 00:26:00.340
 falter

00:26:00.340 --> 00:26:01.980
 in

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:02.160
 the

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.560
 love

00:26:02.560 --> 00:26:02.880
 and

00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:03.000
 the

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:03.500
 compassion

00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:04.180
 the

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:04.519
 sympathy

00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:05.160
 and

00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:05.279
 the

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.620
 unity

00:26:05.620 --> 00:26:06.460
 and

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:06.580
 the

00:26:06.580 --> 00:26:07.060
 humility

00:26:07.060 --> 00:26:08.200
 that

00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:08.480
 Peter

00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:08.720
 is

00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.000
 telling

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:09.220
 us

00:26:09.220 --> 00:26:09.380
 that

00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:09.500
 we

00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:09.700
 need

00:26:09.700 --> 00:26:09.860
 to

00:26:09.860 --> 00:26:10.259
 possess

00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:10.500
 here

00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:10.660
 for

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:10.800
 the

00:26:10.800 --> 00:26:11.039
 glory

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:11.240
 of

00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:11.620
 God

00:26:11.620 --> 00:26:12.880
 and

00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:12.980
 I

00:26:12.980 --> 00:26:13.220
 say

00:26:13.220 --> 00:26:13.360
 it

00:26:13.360 --> 00:26:13.480
 because

00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:13.600
 I

00:26:13.600 --> 00:26:13.759
 think

00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:13.920
 it's

00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:14.019
 a

00:26:14.019 --> 00:26:14.300
 problem

00:26:14.300 --> 00:26:14.519
 right

00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:14.740
 now

00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:15.200
 I

00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:15.400
 say

00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:15.519
 it

00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:15.720
 because

00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:15.819
 I

00:26:15.819 --> 00:26:15.980
 don't

00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:16.160
 want

00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:16.259
 it

00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:16.380
 to

00:26:16.380 --> 00:26:16.480
 be

00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:16.620
 a

00:26:16.620 --> 00:26:16.900
 problem

00:26:16.900 --> 00:26:17.380
 later

00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:19.180
 for

00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:19.299
 us

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:19.400
 to

00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:19.559
 just

00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:19.819
 get

00:26:19.819 --> 00:26:20.099
 this

00:26:20.099 --> 00:26:20.500
 right

00:26:20.500 --> 00:26:20.900
 be

00:26:20.900 --> 00:26:21.680
 committed

00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:23.440
 now

00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:24.519
 to

00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:24.940
 pursuing

00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:25.519
 harmony

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:25.859
 that's

00:26:25.859 --> 00:26:26.099
 rooted

00:26:26.099 --> 00:26:26.299
 in

00:26:26.299 --> 00:26:26.420
 the

00:26:26.420 --> 00:26:26.799
 gospel

00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:28.120
 to

00:26:28.120 --> 00:26:28.640
 prioritize

00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:29.299
 mutual

00:26:29.299 --> 00:26:30.120
 discipleship

00:26:30.120 --> 00:26:30.500
 and care

00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:30.880
 for each

00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:31.079
 other

00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:31.319
 to

00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:31.599
 pursue

00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:32.039
 love

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:32.220
 and

00:26:32.220 --> 00:26:33.019
 compassion

00:26:33.019 --> 00:26:33.319
 and

00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:33.779
 demonstrate

00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:34.319
 humility

00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:34.620
 this

00:26:34.620 --> 00:26:34.839
 is

00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:35.259
 how

00:26:35.259 --> 00:26:35.539
 God

00:26:35.539 --> 00:26:35.740
 has

00:26:35.740 --> 00:26:36.140
 commanded

00:26:36.140 --> 00:26:36.400
 us

00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:36.660
 to

00:26:36.660 --> 00:26:37.680
 bless

00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:38.140
 one

00:26:38.140 --> 00:26:38.799
 another

00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:38.980
 but

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:39.140
 it's

00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:39.339
 not

00:26:39.339 --> 00:26:39.779
 just

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:40.339
 other

00:26:40.339 --> 00:26:40.799
 Christians

00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:41.099
 that

00:26:41.099 --> 00:26:41.200
 he

00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:41.460
 calls

00:26:41.460 --> 00:26:41.579
 us

00:26:41.579 --> 00:26:41.720
 to

00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:41.980
 bless

00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:42.120
 here

00:26:42.120 --> 00:26:42.339
 there's

00:26:42.339 --> 00:27:12.319
 a

00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:12.659
 in

00:27:12.659 --> 00:27:12.939
 verse

00:27:12.939 --> 00:27:13.319
 nine

00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:13.960
 but

00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:15.000
 we

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:15.159
 don't

00:27:15.159 --> 00:27:15.319
 need

00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:15.460
 to

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:15.720
 press

00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:15.960
 that

00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:16.159
 too

00:27:16.159 --> 00:27:16.519
 hard

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:18.319
 one

00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:18.639
 reason

00:27:18.639 --> 00:27:18.839
 is

00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:19.299
 because

00:27:19.299 --> 00:27:19.839
 he

00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:20.059
 doesn't

00:27:20.059 --> 00:27:20.299
 say

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:20.500
 that

00:27:20.500 --> 00:27:21.079
 explicitly

00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:21.939
 I

00:27:21.939 --> 00:27:22.119
 think

00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:22.279
 it's

00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:22.779
 implied

00:27:22.779 --> 00:27:23.179
 but

00:27:23.179 --> 00:27:23.220
 he

00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:23.419
 doesn't

00:27:23.419 --> 00:27:23.619
 say

00:27:23.619 --> 00:27:23.720
 it

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:24.220
 explicitly

00:27:24.220 --> 00:27:25.460
 we

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:25.799
 also

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.220
 shouldn't

00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:26.460
 think

00:27:26.460 --> 00:27:26.639
 that

00:27:26.639 --> 00:27:26.839
 there's

00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:27.059
 never

00:27:27.059 --> 00:27:27.200
 going

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:27.299
 to

00:27:27.299 --> 00:27:27.460
 come

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:27.619
 a

00:27:27.619 --> 00:27:27.839
 time

00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:27.960
 in

00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:28.079
 your

00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:28.419
 life

00:27:28.419 --> 00:27:28.599
 when

00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:28.859
 another

00:27:28.859 --> 00:27:29.259
 Christian

00:27:29.259 --> 00:27:29.399
 or

00:27:29.399 --> 00:27:29.679
 somebody

00:27:29.679 --> 00:27:29.879
 you

00:27:29.879 --> 00:27:30.019
 go

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:30.159
 to

00:27:30.159 --> 00:27:30.419
 church

00:27:30.419 --> 00:27:30.659
 with

00:27:30.659 --> 00:27:31.019
 doesn't

00:27:31.019 --> 00:27:31.259
 treat

00:27:31.259 --> 00:27:31.399
 you

00:27:31.399 --> 00:27:31.579
 with

00:27:31.579 --> 00:27:31.740
 some

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:31.980
 kind

00:27:31.980 --> 00:27:32.099
 of

00:27:32.099 --> 00:27:32.439
 evil

00:27:32.439 --> 00:27:33.099
 or

00:27:33.099 --> 00:27:33.619
 reviling

00:27:33.619 --> 00:27:34.319
 you

00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:34.419
 ever

00:27:34.419 --> 00:27:34.559
 had

00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:34.700
 that

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:35.019
 happen

00:27:35.019 --> 00:27:35.299
 you

00:27:35.299 --> 00:27:35.420
 ever

00:27:35.420 --> 00:27:35.579
 been

00:27:35.579 --> 00:27:35.859
 hurt

00:27:35.859 --> 00:27:36.039
 by

00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:36.200
 a

00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:36.519
 church

00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:38.339
 you

00:27:38.339 --> 00:27:38.440
 ever

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:38.579
 been

00:27:38.579 --> 00:27:38.839
 hurt

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:39.000
 in

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:39.139
 a

00:27:39.139 --> 00:27:39.500
 church

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:40.940
 of

00:27:40.940 --> 00:27:41.119
 course

00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:41.240
 you

00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:41.440
 have

00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:42.500
 why

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:44.500
 because

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:44.660
 we're

00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:44.779
 all

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:44.920
 just

00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:45.180
 people

00:27:45.180 --> 00:27:45.319
 at

00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:45.420
 the

00:27:45.420 --> 00:27:45.480
 end

00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:45.579
 of

00:27:45.579 --> 00:27:45.660
 the

00:27:45.660 --> 00:27:45.819
 day

00:27:45.819 --> 00:27:46.000
 aren't

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:46.279
 we

00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:49.980
 so

00:27:49.980 --> 00:27:50.059
 we

00:27:50.059 --> 00:27:50.139
 don't

00:27:50.139 --> 00:27:50.259
 need

00:27:50.259 --> 00:27:50.379
 to

00:27:50.379 --> 00:27:50.619
 press

00:27:50.619 --> 00:27:50.819
 that

00:27:50.819 --> 00:27:51.019
 too

00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:51.200
 hard

00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:51.319
 but

00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:51.420
 I

00:27:51.420 --> 00:27:51.539
 do

00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:51.759
 think

00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:51.920
 that

00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:52.099
 the

00:27:52.099 --> 00:27:52.799
 implication

00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:53.240
 here

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:53.379
 the

00:27:53.379 --> 00:27:53.859
 idea

00:27:53.859 --> 00:27:54.599
 is

00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:56.059
 outsiders

00:27:56.059 --> 00:27:57.559
 but

00:27:57.559 --> 00:27:57.700
 the

00:27:57.700 --> 00:27:57.920
 truth

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.420
 remains

00:27:58.420 --> 00:27:58.619
 no

00:27:58.619 --> 00:27:58.839
 matter

00:27:58.839 --> 00:27:59.139
 who

00:27:59.139 --> 00:27:59.460
 is

00:27:59.460 --> 00:28:00.440
 mistreating

00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:00.720
 us

00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:00.940
 because

00:28:00.940 --> 00:28:01.279
 the

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:01.720
 command

00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:02.400
 is

00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:02.579
 to

00:28:02.579 --> 00:28:03.019
 refuse

00:28:03.019 --> 00:28:03.019


00:28:05.019 --> 00:28:06.059
 the

00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:06.500
 temptation

00:28:06.500 --> 00:28:06.680
 is

00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:06.940
 always

00:28:06.940 --> 00:28:07.099
 going

00:28:07.099 --> 00:28:07.180
 to

00:28:07.180 --> 00:28:07.319
 be

00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:07.480
 to

00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:07.720
 treat

00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:08.059
 others

00:28:08.059 --> 00:28:08.220
 the

00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:08.359
 way

00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:08.619
 they

00:28:08.619 --> 00:28:08.960
 treat

00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:09.359
 us

00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:09.859
 we

00:28:09.859 --> 00:28:10.379
 learn

00:28:10.379 --> 00:28:10.519
 the

00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:10.759
 golden

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:11.000
 rule

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:12.220
 do

00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:12.440
 unto

00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:12.859
 others

00:28:12.859 --> 00:28:13.079
 as

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:13.180
 you

00:28:13.180 --> 00:28:13.319
 would

00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:13.519
 have

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:13.680
 them

00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:13.839
 do

00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:14.000
 unto

00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:14.160
 you

00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:14.440
 we

00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:14.839
 don't

00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:15.160
 typically

00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:15.460
 live

00:28:15.460 --> 00:28:15.619
 that

00:28:15.619 --> 00:28:15.779
 way

00:28:15.779 --> 00:28:15.920
 we

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:17.339
 do

00:28:17.339 --> 00:28:17.519
 unto

00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:17.879
 others

00:28:17.879 --> 00:28:18.160
 as

00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:18.319
 they

00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:18.519
 have

00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:18.859
 already

00:28:18.859 --> 00:28:19.180
 done

00:28:19.180 --> 00:28:19.359
 to

00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:19.559
 you

00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:19.799
 right

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.139
 that's

00:28:20.139 --> 00:28:20.319
 our

00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:21.180
 nature

00:28:21.180 --> 00:28:21.400
 that's

00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:21.519
 our

 that's

00:28:55.059 --> 00:28:55.359
 common

00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:55.519
 in

 what's

00:28:57.539 --> 00:28:57.879
 shocking

00:28:57.879 --> 00:28:58.160
 about

 this

00:28:58.379 --> 00:28:58.680
 command

00:28:58.680 --> 00:28:59.480
 is

00:28:59.480 --> 00:28:59.779
 not

 we're

00:29:00.220 --> 00:29:00.579
 not

00:29:00.579 --> 00:29:00.960
 supposed

 to

 do

00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:01.500
 it's

00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:01.639
 what

 he

00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:01.960
 says

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:02.079
 that

00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:02.220
 we

00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:02.399
 are

00:29:02.399 --> 00:29:02.680
 supposed

00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:02.940
 to

00:29:02.940 --> 00:29:03.200
 do

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:05.359
 it's

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:05.500
 the

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:05.740
 part

00:29:05.740 --> 00:29:05.920
 where

00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:06.059
 he

00:29:06.059 --> 00:29:06.299
 says

00:29:06.299 --> 00:29:06.460
 that

00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:06.660
 we're

00:29:06.660 --> 00:29:06.960
 actually

00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:07.180
 to

00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:07.700
 show

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:08.299
 our

00:29:08.299 --> 00:29:08.980
 enemies

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:10.139
 favor

00:29:10.139 --> 00:29:10.460
 and

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:10.839
 grace

00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:11.039
 we're

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.180
 to

00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:11.579
 ask

00:29:11.579 --> 00:29:11.839
 for

00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:12.399
 God

00:29:12.399 --> 00:29:13.039
 to

00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:13.319
 show

00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:14.139
 grace

00:29:14.139 --> 00:29:14.940
 to

00:29:14.940 --> 00:29:15.319
 those

00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:15.539
 who

00:29:15.539 --> 00:29:15.960
 have

00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:16.519
 done

00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:16.839
 evil

00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:17.259
 against

00:29:17.259 --> 00:29:17.700
 us

00:29:17.700 --> 00:29:18.299
 to

00:29:18.299 --> 00:29:18.599
 those

00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:18.779
 who

00:29:18.779 --> 00:29:19.099
 have

00:29:19.099 --> 00:29:19.759
 reviled

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:20.319
 us

00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:22.319
 we

00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:22.639
 train

00:29:22.639 --> 00:29:23.039
 ourselves

00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:23.500
 typically

00:29:23.500 --> 00:29:24.059
 and probably

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:24.539
 wisely

00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:24.899
 to

00:29:24.899 --> 00:29:25.799
 walk away

00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:26.039
 from

00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:26.319
 those

00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:27.799
 God

00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:28.079
 seems

00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:28.220
 to

00:29:28.220 --> 00:29:28.379
 be

00:29:28.379 --> 00:29:28.779
 saying

00:29:28.779 --> 00:29:29.500
 stay

00:29:29.500 --> 00:29:29.740
 and

00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:30.039
 bless

00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:30.279
 them

00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:30.639
 instead

00:29:30.639 --> 00:29:32.960
 that's

00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:33.200
 a hard

00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:33.359
 thing

00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:33.519
 to

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:33.819
 do

00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:36.879
 but

00:29:36.879 --> 00:29:37.099
 isn't

00:29:37.099 --> 00:29:37.220
 it

00:29:37.220 --> 00:29:37.420
 what

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:37.759
 Jesus

00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:38.139
 taught

00:29:38.139 --> 00:29:38.819
 isn't

00:29:38.819 --> 00:29:39.379
 Peter

00:29:39.379 --> 00:29:39.619
 just

00:29:39.619 --> 00:29:39.859
 saying

00:29:39.859 --> 00:29:40.059
 what

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:40.319
 Jesus

00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:40.720
 said

00:29:44.220 --> 00:29:44.579
 Jesus

00:29:44.579 --> 00:29:44.960
 said

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:45.859
 I

00:29:45.859 --> 00:29:46.139
 say

00:29:46.139 --> 00:29:46.299
 to

 good

00:29:51.879 --> 00:29:52.039
 to

00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:52.480
 those

 who

00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:54.000
 hate

 you

00:29:54.420 --> 00:29:58.279
 bless

 curse

00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:01.259
 you

00:30:01.259 --> 00:30:03.860
 pray

00:30:03.860 --> 00:30:04.120
 for

00:30:04.120 --> 00:30:04.640
 those

 who

00:30:05.820 --> 00:30:06.560
 abuse

00:30:06.560 --> 00:30:07.000
 you

 other

 one

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:13.580
 also

00:30:13.580 --> 00:30:16.039
 the

 who

00:30:16.460 --> 00:30:16.740
 takes

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:20.940
 either

00:30:22.860 --> 00:30:23.039
 a

 radical

00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:23.740
 way

 a

00:30:26.019 --> 00:30:26.559
 radical

00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:27.120
 life

00:30:27.120 --> 00:30:29.400
 that's

00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:29.519
 a

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:29.820
 hard

00:30:29.820 --> 00:30:30.299
 life

00:30:30.299 --> 00:30:31.580
 but

00:30:31.580 --> 00:30:31.779
 that's

00:30:31.779 --> 00:30:31.880
 how

00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:32.160
 Jesus

00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:32.740
 lived

00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:34.059
 that's

00:30:34.059 --> 00:30:34.160
 how

00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:34.440
 Jesus

00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:34.740
 taught

00:30:34.740 --> 00:30:34.900
 us

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:35.080
 to

00:30:35.080 --> 00:30:35.460
 live

00:30:35.460 --> 00:30:36.960
 he

00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:37.140
 didn't

00:30:37.140 --> 00:30:37.320
 only

00:30:37.320 --> 00:30:37.660
 teach

00:30:37.660 --> 00:30:37.759
 it

00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:37.900
 he

00:30:37.900 --> 00:30:38.220
 modeled

00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:38.580
 it

00:30:38.580 --> 00:30:39.980
 even

00:30:39.980 --> 00:30:40.180
 as

00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:40.380
 the

00:30:40.380 --> 00:30:40.740
 Romans

00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:41.039
 were

00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:41.140
 in

00:30:41.140 --> 00:30:41.299
 the

00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:41.779
 process

00:30:41.779 --> 00:30:41.980
 of

00:30:41.980 --> 00:30:42.500
 nailing

00:30:42.500 --> 00:30:42.680
 him

00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:43.120
 to

00:30:43.120 --> 00:30:43.320
 a

00:30:43.320 --> 00:30:43.799
 cross

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:44.720
 he

00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:45.080
 prayed

00:30:45.080 --> 00:30:45.259
 for

00:30:45.259 --> 00:30:45.440
 their

00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:45.940
 forgiveness

00:30:45.940 --> 00:30:47.360
 father

00:30:47.360 --> 00:30:47.840
 forgive

00:30:47.840 --> 00:30:48.180
 them

00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:49.720
 they

00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:49.860
 don't

00:30:49.860 --> 00:30:50.000
 even

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:50.380
 understand

00:30:50.380 --> 00:30:50.540
 what

00:30:50.540 --> 00:30:50.680
 they're

00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:51.120
 doing

00:30:51.120 --> 00:30:52.320
 forgive

00:30:52.320 --> 00:30:52.820
 them

00:30:52.820 --> 00:30:55.580
 that's

00:30:55.580 --> 00:30:55.840
 what it

00:30:55.840 --> 00:30:56.280
 looks like

00:30:56.280 --> 00:30:56.720
 to bless

00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:56.920
 our

00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:57.260
 enemies

00:30:57.260 --> 00:30:59.420
 it

00:30:59.420 --> 00:30:59.960
 means

00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:00.980
 to

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:01.360
 pray

00:31:01.360 --> 00:31:01.660
 for

00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:01.960
 God

00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:02.140
 to

00:31:02.140 --> 00:31:02.280
 do

00:31:02.280 --> 00:31:02.480
 the

00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:03.060
 same

00:31:03.060 --> 00:31:04.160
 saving

00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:04.680
 work

00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:05.080
 in

00:31:05.080 --> 00:31:05.320
 their

00:31:05.320 --> 00:31:05.820
 lives

00:31:05.820 --> 00:31:06.340
 that

00:31:06.340 --> 00:31:06.540
 he's

00:31:06.540 --> 00:31:06.720
 done

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:06.860
 in

00:31:06.860 --> 00:31:07.100
 our

00:31:07.100 --> 00:31:07.560
 lives

00:31:07.560 --> 00:31:08.680
 that's

00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:08.800
 what

00:31:08.800 --> 00:31:08.920
 it

00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:09.100
 means

00:31:09.100 --> 00:31:09.260
 to

00:31:09.260 --> 00:31:09.620
 bless

00:31:09.620 --> 00:31:09.900
 them

00:31:09.900 --> 00:31:11.260
 it

00:31:11.260 --> 00:31:11.500
 means

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:11.860
 showing

00:31:11.860 --> 00:31:12.440
 kindness

00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:13.000
 and

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:13.600
 compassion

00:31:13.600 --> 00:31:13.880
 when

00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:14.100
 given

00:31:14.100 --> 00:31:14.340
 an

00:31:14.340 --> 00:31:14.980
 opportunity

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:15.380
 to

00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:15.560
 do

00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:15.820
 so

00:31:15.820 --> 00:31:16.220
 and

00:31:16.220 --> 00:31:16.600
 praying

00:31:16.600 --> 00:31:16.820
 that

00:31:16.820 --> 00:31:17.040
 God

00:31:17.040 --> 00:31:17.240
 would

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:17.700
 use

00:31:17.700 --> 00:31:17.980
 that

00:31:17.980 --> 00:31:18.380
 act

00:31:18.380 --> 00:31:18.560
 of

00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:18.880
 love

00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:19.060
 and

00:31:19.060 --> 00:31:19.580
 compassion

00:31:19.579 --> 00:31:20.039
 to

00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:20.399
 draw

00:31:20.399 --> 00:31:20.619
 them

00:31:20.619 --> 00:31:20.839
 to

00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:21.240
 Jesus

00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:21.759
 not

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.279
 necessarily

00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:22.579
 just

00:31:22.579 --> 00:31:22.720
 to

00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:22.899
 make

00:31:22.899 --> 00:31:23.039
 your

00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:23.339
 life

00:31:23.339 --> 00:31:23.679
 easier

00:31:23.679 --> 00:31:24.139
 but

00:31:24.139 --> 00:31:24.339
 so

00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:24.539
 that

00:31:24.539 --> 00:31:24.759
 they

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:25.000
 might

00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:25.299
 see

00:31:25.299 --> 00:31:25.779
 Jesus

00:31:25.779 --> 00:31:26.819
 through

00:31:26.819 --> 00:31:27.359
 you

00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:28.960
 that's

00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:29.119
 what

00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:29.740
 it means

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:30.759
 to bless

00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:31.159
 them

00:31:31.159 --> 00:31:32.339
 it's

00:31:32.339 --> 00:31:32.759
 choosing

00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:33.359
 to seek

00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:33.599
 their

00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:34.220
 salvation

00:31:34.220 --> 00:31:35.119
 over

00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:35.359
 their

00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:36.119
 destruction

00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:38.359
 to bless

00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:38.359


00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:38.359


00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:38.579
 them

00:31:38.579 --> 00:31:38.719
 in

00:31:38.719 --> 00:31:38.939
 this

00:31:38.939 --> 00:31:39.219
 way

00:31:39.219 --> 00:31:39.519
 Peter

00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:39.959
 says

00:31:39.959 --> 00:31:40.099
 is

00:31:40.099 --> 00:31:40.319
 not

00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:40.500
 only

00:31:40.500 --> 00:31:40.699
 what

00:31:40.699 --> 00:31:40.879
 you're

00:31:40.879 --> 00:31:41.159
 called

00:31:41.159 --> 00:31:41.419
 to

00:31:41.419 --> 00:31:43.079
 it

00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:43.839
 achieves

00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:44.059
 the

00:31:44.059 --> 00:31:44.459
 smile

00:31:44.459 --> 00:31:44.659

00:31:44.659 --> 00:31:45.019

00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:47.739

00:31:47.739 --> 00:31:47.839
 it

00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:47.979
 will

00:31:47.979 --> 00:31:48.299
 lead

00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:48.459
 to

 your

00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:52.099

00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:13.139
 the

00:32:13.139 --> 00:32:13.480
 righteous

00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:14.259
 and

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:14.419
 his

00:32:14.419 --> 00:32:14.639
 ears

00:32:14.639 --> 00:32:14.839
 are

00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:15.139
 open

00:32:15.139 --> 00:32:15.319
 to

00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:15.500
 their

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:15.919
 prayer

00:32:15.919 --> 00:32:17.119
 but

00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:17.279
 the

00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:17.619
 face

00:32:17.619 --> 00:32:17.740
 of

00:32:17.740 --> 00:32:17.879
 the

00:32:17.879 --> 00:32:18.119
 Lord

00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:18.319
 is

00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:18.619
 against

00:32:18.619 --> 00:32:19.000
 those

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:19.159
 who

00:32:19.159 --> 00:32:19.379
 do

00:32:19.379 --> 00:32:20.220
 evil

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:21.319
 so

00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:21.659
 Peter's

00:32:21.659 --> 00:32:21.899
 rooting

00:32:21.899 --> 00:32:22.139
 his

00:32:22.139 --> 00:32:22.539
 whole

00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:22.859
 argument

00:32:22.859 --> 00:32:23.139
 here

00:32:23.139 --> 00:32:23.359
 in

00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:23.519
 the

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:23.819
 scriptures

00:32:23.819 --> 00:32:24.179
 which

00:32:24.179 --> 00:32:24.559
 we're

00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:24.579
!

00:32:24.579 --> 00:32:24.839
 grateful

00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:33.319
 supported

00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:33.539
 by

00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:33.720
 the

00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:33.960
 quote

00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:34.480
 itself

00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:34.779
 what

00:32:34.779 --> 00:32:34.939
 is

00:32:34.939 --> 00:32:35.119
 being

00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:35.500
 said

00:32:35.500 --> 00:32:35.879
 but

00:32:35.879 --> 00:32:36.000
 I

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:36.139
 think

00:32:36.139 --> 00:32:36.279
 we

00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:36.439
 can

00:32:36.439 --> 00:32:36.699
 find

00:32:36.699 --> 00:32:37.139
 support

00:32:37.139 --> 00:32:37.619
 also

00:32:37.619 --> 00:32:38.240
 in

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:38.399
 the

00:32:38.399 --> 00:32:38.759
 person

00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:39.199
 who

00:32:39.199 --> 00:32:39.439
 wrote

00:32:39.439 --> 00:32:39.679
 the

00:32:39.679 --> 00:32:40.119
 psalm

00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:40.559
 so

00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:40.699
 let's

00:32:40.699 --> 00:32:40.839
 just

00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:41.039
 take

00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:41.480
 each

00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:41.559
 of

00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:41.740
 those

00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:41.919
 in

00:32:41.919 --> 00:32:42.240
 turn

00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:43.960
 the

00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:44.279
 entire

00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:44.659
 psalm

00:32:44.659 --> 00:32:44.879
 really

00:32:44.879 --> 00:32:45.559
 emphasizes

00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:45.859
 if you

00:32:45.859 --> 00:32:45.960
 were

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:46.079
 to

00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:46.220
 go

00:32:46.220 --> 00:32:46.399
 back

00:32:46.399 --> 00:32:46.539
 and

00:32:46.539 --> 00:32:46.740
 read

00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:46.839
 it

00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:47.000
 this

00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:47.419
 afternoon

00:32:47.419 --> 00:32:47.759
 psalm

00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:48.179
 34

00:32:48.179 --> 00:32:48.859
 it's

00:32:48.859 --> 00:32:49.460
 emphasizing

00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:49.720
 how

00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:49.879
 the

00:32:49.879 --> 00:32:50.059
 Lord

00:32:50.059 --> 00:32:50.740
 rescues

00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:50.960
 his

00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:51.319
 people

00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:51.559
 when

00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:51.779
 they

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:52.220
 suffer

00:32:52.220 --> 00:32:53.299
 and

00:32:53.299 --> 00:32:53.839
 judges

00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:54.199
 the

00:32:54.199 --> 00:32:54.519
 wicked

00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:55.059
 who

00:32:55.059 --> 00:32:55.699
 perpetrate

00:32:55.699 --> 00:32:56.099
 evil

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:56.779
 against

00:32:56.779 --> 00:32:57.079
 them

00:32:57.079 --> 00:32:57.740
 so

00:32:57.740 --> 00:32:57.939
 it's

00:32:57.939 --> 00:32:58.099
 God

00:32:58.099 --> 00:32:58.579
 blessing

00:32:58.579 --> 00:32:58.779
 the

00:32:58.779 --> 00:32:59.119
 righteous

00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:00.179
 and

00:33:00.179 --> 00:33:00.519
 judging

00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:00.740
 the

00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:00.980
 wicked

00:33:00.980 --> 00:33:01.899
 and

00:33:01.899 --> 00:33:02.359
 meanwhile

00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:02.919
 in

00:33:02.919 --> 00:33:03.099
 the

00:33:03.099 --> 00:33:03.579
 psalm

00:33:03.579 --> 00:33:04.240
 the

00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:04.679
 righteous

00:33:04.679 --> 00:33:05.019
 ones

00:33:05.019 --> 00:33:05.279
 those

00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:05.419
 who

00:33:05.419 --> 00:33:05.519
 are

00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:05.859
 trusting

00:33:05.859 --> 00:33:06.179
 God

00:33:06.179 --> 00:33:06.359
 they

00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:07.039
 demonstrate

00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:07.439
 their

00:33:07.439 --> 00:33:07.879
 trust

00:33:07.879 --> 00:33:08.059
 and

00:33:08.059 --> 00:33:08.279
 hope

00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:08.399
 in

00:33:08.399 --> 00:33:08.519
 the

00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:08.819
 Lord

00:33:08.819 --> 00:33:09.559
 by

00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:10.139
 refusing

00:33:10.139 --> 00:33:10.419
 to

00:33:10.419 --> 00:33:10.619
 do

00:33:10.619 --> 00:33:11.059
 evil

00:33:11.059 --> 00:33:11.460
 against

 evil

00:33:11.919 --> 00:33:12.319
 people

00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:13.299
 by

00:33:13.299 --> 00:33:13.839
 refusing

00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:14.299
 sin

00:33:14.299 --> 00:33:14.899
 renouncing

00:33:14.899 --> 00:33:15.379
 sin

00:33:15.379 --> 00:33:16.059
 and

00:33:16.059 --> 00:33:16.279
 doing

00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:16.519
 good

00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:16.939
 instead

 say

00:33:26.379 --> 00:33:27.720
 why

00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:15.139
 that

00:34:15.139 --> 00:34:15.500
 he

00:34:15.500 --> 00:34:15.820
 will

00:34:15.820 --> 00:34:16.280
 rescue

00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:16.559
 his

00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:16.920
 people

00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:17.760
 and

00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:17.920
 he

00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:18.099
 will

00:34:18.099 --> 00:34:18.539
 judge

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:19.240
 the

00:34:19.240 --> 00:34:19.539
 wicked

00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:20.159
 that's

00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:20.280
 the

00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:20.579
 point

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:21.900
 God

00:34:21.900 --> 00:34:22.179
 gives

00:34:22.179 --> 00:34:22.619
 life

00:34:22.619 --> 00:34:22.820
 to

00:34:22.820 --> 00:34:23.159
 those

00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:23.320
 who

00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:23.679
 repent

00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:23.900
 and

00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:24.179
 trust

00:34:24.179 --> 00:34:24.460
 him

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:25.699
 so

00:34:25.699 --> 00:34:25.880
 we

00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:26.159
 bless

00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:26.480
 others

00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:26.659
 and

00:34:26.659 --> 00:34:26.940
 refuse

00:34:26.940 --> 00:34:27.119
 to

00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:27.260
 do

00:34:27.260 --> 00:34:27.500
 evil

00:34:27.500 --> 00:34:27.880
 against

00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:28.159
 them

00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:29.720
 but

00:34:29.720 --> 00:34:29.880
 then

00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:29.980
 I

00:34:29.980 --> 00:34:30.139
 think

00:34:30.139 --> 00:34:30.380
 there's

00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.599
 something

00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:31.000
 for us

00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:31.159
 to

00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:31.599
 consider

00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:31.960
 about

00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:32.139
 the

00:34:32.139 --> 00:34:32.400
 man

00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:32.599
 who

00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:32.900
 wrote

00:34:32.900 --> 00:34:33.179
 Psalm

00:34:33.179 --> 00:34:33.760
 34

00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:35.119
 the

00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:35.780
 circumstances

00:34:35.780 --> 00:34:36.300
 that gave

00:34:36.300 --> 00:34:36.699
 rise

00:34:36.699 --> 00:34:37.240
 to this

00:34:37.240 --> 00:34:38.300
 writing

00:34:38.300 --> 00:34:39.800
 was David

00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:42.000
 if you were to go back

00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:42.780
 and read the Psalm

00:34:42.780 --> 00:34:43.539
 you'll see the

00:34:43.539 --> 00:34:44.480
 superscription at the

00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:45.059
 beginning of it

00:34:45.059 --> 00:34:45.619
 it gives us a

00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:46.360
 context clue

00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:48.320
 David wrote

00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:49.099
 this Psalm

00:34:49.099 --> 00:34:49.920
 during a period

00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:50.500
 of his life

00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:50.960
 when he was

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:52.139
 constantly on the run

00:34:52.139 --> 00:34:52.699
 from King

00:34:52.699 --> 00:34:53.179
 Saul

00:34:53.179 --> 00:34:55.319
 I want you to think

00:34:55.319 --> 00:34:55.719
 about that

00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:56.179
 if you remember

00:34:56.179 --> 00:34:56.839
 the stories

00:34:56.839 --> 00:34:59.179
 God sends

00:34:59.179 --> 00:34:59.719
 his prophet

00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:00.919
 to the house

00:35:00.919 --> 00:35:01.419
 of Jesse

00:35:01.419 --> 00:35:03.839
 Jesse

00:35:03.839 --> 00:35:04.699
 eventually brings

00:35:04.699 --> 00:35:05.119
 David

00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:05.579
 the runt

00:35:05.579 --> 00:35:06.079
 of the family

00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:06.639
 perhaps

00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.059
 and Samuel

00:35:09.059 --> 00:35:09.919
 says

00:35:09.919 --> 00:35:10.679
 this is God's

00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:11.039
 chosen

00:35:11.039 --> 00:35:13.639
 but it's not

00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:14.440
 time for David

00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:15.019
 to inherit

00:35:15.019 --> 00:35:15.460
 the kingdom

00:35:15.460 --> 00:35:15.719
 yet

00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:16.099
 is it

00:35:16.099 --> 00:35:18.579
 he's God's

00:35:18.579 --> 00:35:19.019
 chosen

00:35:19.019 --> 00:35:20.139
 he's God's

00:35:20.139 --> 00:35:20.599
 elect

00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:21.500
 the promise

00:35:21.500 --> 00:35:22.299
 is sure

00:35:22.299 --> 00:35:23.299
 God will be

00:35:23.299 --> 00:35:24.199
 faithful to it

00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:25.019
 but it's not

00:35:25.019 --> 00:35:25.759
 time yet

00:35:25.759 --> 00:35:27.199
 and David

00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:27.799
 has to go

00:35:27.799 --> 00:35:28.179
 through his

00:35:28.179 --> 00:35:28.639
 days

00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:29.880
 trusting that

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:30.500
 God will be

00:35:30.500 --> 00:35:31.199
 faithful to

00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:31.659
 the promise

00:35:31.659 --> 00:35:32.339
 that he made

00:35:32.339 --> 00:35:33.339
 as he looks

00:35:33.339 --> 00:35:33.779
 forward

00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:35.000
 to the promise

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:35.699
 being fulfilled

00:35:35.699 --> 00:35:36.319
 in the kingdom

00:35:36.319 --> 00:35:37.440
 now that sounds

00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:38.279
 an awful lot

00:35:38.279 --> 00:35:39.219
 like 1 Peter

00:35:39.219 --> 00:35:39.639
 to me

00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:42.019
 we are

00:35:42.019 --> 00:35:42.900
 God's chosen

00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:44.799
 he has called

00:35:44.799 --> 00:35:45.000
 us

00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:45.659
 he's promised

00:35:45.659 --> 00:35:46.400
 us a future

00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:46.940
 inheritance

00:35:46.940 --> 00:35:47.860
 that's unfading

00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:48.660
 and undefiled

00:35:48.660 --> 00:35:50.099
 and imperishable

00:35:50.099 --> 00:35:51.260
 he says

00:35:51.260 --> 00:35:51.880
 that he is

00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:52.579
 keeping us

00:35:52.579 --> 00:35:53.099
 and guarding

00:35:53.099 --> 00:35:53.559
 us through

00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:54.079
 faith

00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:54.900
 for the return

00:35:54.900 --> 00:35:55.340
 of Jesus

00:35:55.340 --> 00:35:55.760
 Christ

00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:56.120
 for our

00:35:56.120 --> 00:35:56.559
 salvation

00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:56.980
 to be

00:35:56.980 --> 00:35:57.380
 revealed

00:35:57.380 --> 00:35:57.980
 but it's

00:35:57.980 --> 00:35:58.539
 not time

00:35:58.539 --> 00:35:58.840
 yet

00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:01.019
 in the

00:36:01.019 --> 00:36:01.320
 meantime

00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:02.039
 we're here

00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:02.900
 and like

00:36:02.900 --> 00:36:03.260
 David

00:36:03.260 --> 00:36:04.140
 we often

00:36:04.140 --> 00:36:04.599
 suffer

00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:06.480
 the fullness

00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:07.079
 of the kingdom

00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:07.660
 has not yet

00:36:07.660 --> 00:36:07.980
 come

00:36:07.980 --> 00:36:08.559
 the full

00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:09.220
 experience

00:36:09.220 --> 00:36:09.519
 of the

00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:09.940
 inheritance

00:36:09.940 --> 00:36:10.660
 is still

00:36:10.660 --> 00:36:11.360
 ahead of us

00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:11.820
 and what

00:36:11.820 --> 00:36:12.019
 are we

00:36:12.019 --> 00:36:12.400
 left to

00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:12.760
 do

00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:13.860
 trust

00:36:13.860 --> 00:36:14.420
 the Lord

00:36:14.420 --> 00:36:16.019
 trust

00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:16.360
 that he

00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:16.660
 will be

00:36:16.660 --> 00:36:17.079
 faithful

00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:18.279
 and do

00:36:18.279 --> 00:36:18.719
 good

00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:19.539
 and obey

00:36:19.539 --> 00:36:20.019
 him

00:36:20.019 --> 00:36:20.920
 and refuse

00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:22.000
 sin

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:22.940
 now what

00:36:22.940 --> 00:36:23.199
 did that

00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:23.579
 look like

00:36:23.579 --> 00:36:24.099
 in David's

00:36:24.099 --> 00:36:24.480
 life

00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:26.579
 King Saul

00:36:26.579 --> 00:36:27.039
 is threatened

00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:27.579
 by him

00:36:27.579 --> 00:36:28.299
 doesn't

00:36:28.299 --> 00:36:28.779
 appreciate

00:36:28.779 --> 00:36:29.860
 that David

00:36:29.860 --> 00:36:30.400
 is God's

00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:30.739
 chosen

00:36:30.739 --> 00:36:31.440
 and he

00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:31.860
 seeks to

00:36:31.860 --> 00:36:32.360
 kill him

00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:33.019
 over

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:34.059
 and over

00:36:34.059 --> 00:36:35.159
 and over

00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:36.099
 and over

00:36:36.099 --> 00:36:36.719
 it's not

00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:37.159
 just that he's

00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:37.599
 saying bad

00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:38.119
 things about

00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:38.500
 David

00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:39.460
 1 Peter

00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:39.799
 we're just

00:36:39.799 --> 00:36:40.219
 talking about

00:36:40.219 --> 00:36:40.739
 reviling

00:36:40.739 --> 00:36:41.639
 Saul's

00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:41.940
 trying to

00:36:41.940 --> 00:36:42.519
 kill him

00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:44.299
 on two

00:36:44.299 --> 00:36:44.599
 different

00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:45.380
 occasions

00:36:45.380 --> 00:36:46.519
 David has

00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:46.960
 a wide

00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:47.219
 open

00:36:47.219 --> 00:36:47.820
 opportunity

00:36:47.820 --> 00:36:49.059
 to take

00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:49.400
 matters

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:49.820
 into his

00:36:49.820 --> 00:36:50.000
 own

00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:50.400
 hands

00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:52.019
 he can

00:36:52.019 --> 00:36:52.320
 kill

00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:52.699
 Saul

00:36:52.699 --> 00:36:53.259
 which all

00:36:53.259 --> 00:36:53.539
 of us

00:36:53.539 --> 00:36:53.880
 would look

00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:54.159
 and say

00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:54.460
 that's

00:36:54.460 --> 00:36:55.219
 justifiable

00:36:55.219 --> 00:36:56.340
 it's

00:36:56.340 --> 00:36:56.940
 defense

00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:57.840
 self-defense

00:36:57.840 --> 00:36:58.440
 he could

00:36:58.440 --> 00:36:58.739
 have done

00:36:58.739 --> 00:36:59.079
 that

00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:00.360
 taken the

00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:00.780
 kingdom

00:37:00.780 --> 00:37:02.860
 on both

00:37:02.860 --> 00:37:03.320
 occasions

00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:03.759
 David

00:37:03.759 --> 00:37:04.639
 refuses

00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:05.079
 to do

00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:05.360
 that

00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:08.639
 on both

00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:09.099
 occasions

00:37:09.099 --> 00:37:09.679
 he lets

00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:10.199
 Saul know

00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:10.579
 that he

00:37:10.579 --> 00:37:10.980
 refused

00:37:10.980 --> 00:37:11.280
 to do

00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:11.559
 that

00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:13.179
 my favorite

00:37:13.179 --> 00:37:13.440
 one

00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:13.599
 is

00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:14.500
 David's

00:37:14.500 --> 00:37:14.759
 hiding

00:37:14.759 --> 00:37:14.980
 out

00:37:14.980 --> 00:37:15.179
 in a

00:37:15.179 --> 00:37:15.460
 cave

00:37:15.460 --> 00:37:15.799
 Saul

00:37:15.799 --> 00:37:16.099
 doesn't

00:37:16.099 --> 00:37:16.360
 know

00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:16.539
 it

00:37:16.539 --> 00:37:16.840
 Saul

00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:17.159
 shows

00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:17.360
 up

00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:17.579
 to go

00:37:17.579 --> 00:37:17.699
 use

00:37:17.699 --> 00:37:17.820
 the

00:37:17.820 --> 00:37:18.239
 bathroom

00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:18.579
 and

00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:19.259
 in the

00:37:19.259 --> 00:37:19.420
 middle

00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:19.920
 of that

00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:20.840
 David

00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:21.199
 sneaks

00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:21.500
 up

00:37:21.500 --> 00:37:21.920
 cuts

00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:22.239
 a part

00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:22.440
 of his

00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:22.799
 garment

00:37:22.799 --> 00:37:23.460
 and then

00:37:23.460 --> 00:37:23.679
 sneaks

00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:23.900
 back

00:37:23.900 --> 00:37:24.079
 in the

00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:24.199
 cave

00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:24.440
 Saul

00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:24.619
 has

00:37:24.619 --> 00:37:24.799
 no

00:37:24.799 --> 00:37:25.119
 idea

00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:27.400
 Saul

00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:27.679
 eventually

00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:27.960
 leaves

00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:28.380
 the cave

00:37:28.380 --> 00:37:28.699
 David

00:37:28.699 --> 00:37:29.039
 stands

00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:29.219
 out

00:37:29.219 --> 00:37:29.400
 and he

00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:29.599
 calls

00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:29.779
 out

00:37:29.779 --> 00:37:30.039
 to him

00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:30.199
 and he

00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:30.400
 says

00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:30.739
 look

00:37:30.739 --> 00:37:31.559
 I

00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:31.719
 could

00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:31.860
 have

00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:32.460
 taken

00:37:32.460 --> 00:37:32.619
 your

00:37:32.619 --> 00:37:32.860
 life

00:37:32.860 --> 00:37:33.119
 today

00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:33.320
 but

00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:33.539
 you're

00:37:33.539 --> 00:37:33.799
 God's

00:37:33.799 --> 00:37:34.099
 anointed

00:37:34.099 --> 00:37:34.360
 and I'm

00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:34.480
 not

00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:34.639
 going to

00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:34.780
 do

00:37:34.780 --> 00:37:34.920
 that

00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:35.000
 I'm

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:35.079
 not

00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:35.219
 going to

00:37:35.219 --> 00:37:35.380
 sin

00:37:35.380 --> 00:37:35.639
 against

00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:35.880
 God

00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:36.000
 in

00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:36.300
 this

00:37:36.300 --> 00:37:37.719
 and you

00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:37.820
 know

00:37:37.820 --> 00:37:38.039
 what

00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:38.300
 Saul

00:37:38.300 --> 00:37:38.679
 does

00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:38.840
 is

00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:39.199
 1st

00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:39.619
 Samuel

00:37:39.619 --> 00:37:40.079
 24

00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:40.860
 Saul

00:37:40.860 --> 00:37:41.260
 turns

00:37:41.260 --> 00:37:41.460
 to

00:37:41.460 --> 00:37:41.760
 David

00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:42.480
 and he

00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:43.039
 says

00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:43.659
 God

00:37:43.659 --> 00:37:44.079
 bless

00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:44.440
 you

00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:45.079
 you

00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:45.420
 have

00:37:45.420 --> 00:37:45.719
 done

00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:45.960
 me

00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:46.599
 good

00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:47.639
 rather

00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:48.000
 than

00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:48.579
 repaying

00:37:48.579 --> 00:37:48.780
 me

00:37:48.780 --> 00:37:49.219
 evil

00:37:49.219 --> 00:37:50.300
 sounds

00:37:50.300 --> 00:37:50.559
 a lot

00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:50.760
 like

00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:50.980
 1st

00:37:50.980 --> 00:37:51.139
 Peter

00:37:51.139 --> 00:37:51.420
 3

00:37:51.420 --> 00:37:54.719
 when

00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:55.240
 Peter

00:37:55.240 --> 00:37:55.940
 uses

00:37:55.940 --> 00:37:56.340
 this

00:37:56.340 --> 00:37:56.920
 passage

00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:58.240
 not

00:37:58.240 --> 00:37:58.659
 only

00:37:58.659 --> 00:37:58.860
 is

00:37:58.860 --> 00:37:59.139
 Peter

00:37:59.139 --> 00:37:59.579
 thinking

00:37:59.579 --> 00:37:59.900
 about

00:37:59.900 --> 00:38:00.099
 the

00:38:00.099 --> 00:38:00.460
 things

00:38:00.460 --> 00:38:00.699
 that

00:38:00.699 --> 00:38:01.039
 David

00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:01.559
 wrote

00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:01.800
 that

00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:01.960
 God

00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:02.480
 inspired

00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:02.639
 him

00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:02.760
 to

00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:02.940
 write

00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:03.079
 in

00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:03.260
 Psalm

00:38:03.260 --> 00:38:03.500
!

00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:05.219
 I'm

00:38:05.219 --> 00:38:05.039
 convinced

00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:05.280
 that

00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:05.519
 Peter

00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:05.639
 is

00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:06.019
 probably

00:38:06.019 --> 00:38:06.460
 thinking

00:38:06.460 --> 00:38:06.760
 about

00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:07.300
 David's

00:38:07.300 --> 00:38:07.619
 life

00:38:07.619 --> 00:38:07.780
 at

00:38:07.780 --> 00:38:07.900
 the

00:38:07.900 --> 00:38:08.139
 time

00:38:08.139 --> 00:38:08.280
 that

00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:08.400
 he

00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:08.659
 wrote

00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:08.920
 it

00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:11.139
 so

00:38:11.139 --> 00:38:11.300
 that

00:38:11.300 --> 00:38:11.539
 David

00:38:11.539 --> 00:38:11.860
 Helm

00:38:11.860 --> 00:38:12.199
 says

00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:13.079
 in

00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:13.599
 David's

00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:14.059
 obedience

00:38:14.059 --> 00:38:14.619
 Peter

00:38:14.619 --> 00:38:14.920
 has

00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:15.260
 found

00:38:15.260 --> 00:38:15.460
 the

00:38:15.460 --> 00:38:15.760
 one

00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:16.019
 who

00:38:16.019 --> 00:38:16.740
 prefigured

00:38:16.740 --> 00:38:17.240
 Christ

00:38:17.240 --> 00:38:17.599
 and his

00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:18.179
 sufferings

00:38:18.179 --> 00:38:18.940
 he's

00:38:18.940 --> 00:38:19.260
 found

00:38:19.260 --> 00:38:19.420
 the

00:38:19.420 --> 00:38:19.599
 one

00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:19.820
 who

00:38:19.820 --> 00:38:20.480
 emulates

00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:20.740
 the

00:38:20.740 --> 00:38:21.019
 point

00:38:21.019 --> 00:38:21.300
 he's

00:38:21.300 --> 00:38:21.500
 been

00:38:21.500 --> 00:38:21.960
 making

00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:22.579
 and

00:38:22.579 --> 00:38:22.740
 the

00:38:22.740 --> 00:38:23.139
 church

00:38:23.139 --> 00:38:23.559
 now

00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:23.920
 has

00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:24.519
 proof

00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:25.119
 that

00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:25.500
 God

00:38:25.500 --> 00:38:25.980
 does

00:38:25.980 --> 00:38:26.619
 reward

00:38:26.619 --> 00:38:27.380
 the

00:38:27.380 --> 00:38:27.719
 righteous

00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:28.880
 so

00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:29.059
 we

00:38:29.059 --> 00:38:29.400
 press

00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:29.679
 on

00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:29.820
 and

00:38:29.820 --> 00:38:30.000
 doing

00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:30.440
 good

00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:31.240
 because

00:38:31.240 --> 00:38:31.619
 we've

00:38:31.619 --> 00:38:31.840
 seen

00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:32.179
 again

00:38:32.179 --> 00:38:32.340
 and

00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:36.940
 you

00:38:36.940 --> 00:38:37.000
 need

00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:37.059
 to

00:38:37.059 --> 00:38:37.159
 be

00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:37.380
 like

00:38:37.380 --> 00:38:37.760
 David

00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:39.800
 really

00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:39.980
 need

00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:40.059
 to

00:38:40.059 --> 00:38:40.179
 be

00:38:40.179 --> 00:38:40.360
 like

00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:40.699
 Jesus

00:38:40.699 --> 00:38:43.559
 I've

00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:43.740
 called

00:38:43.740 --> 00:38:43.920
 the

00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:44.260
 series

00:38:44.260 --> 00:38:44.679
 as we've

00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:44.780
 been

00:38:44.780 --> 00:38:45.059
 studying

00:38:45.059 --> 00:38:45.280
 through

00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:45.699
 1 Peter

00:38:45.699 --> 00:38:46.159
 thriving

00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:46.380
 in

00:38:46.380 --> 00:38:46.780
 exile

00:38:46.780 --> 00:38:47.000
 and

00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:47.240
 I know

00:38:47.240 --> 00:38:47.599
 we say

00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:47.719
 it

00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:47.880
 every

00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:48.179
 week

00:38:48.179 --> 00:38:48.420
 but

00:38:48.420 --> 00:38:49.019
 has

00:38:55.460 --> 00:38:55.639
 not

00:38:55.639 --> 00:38:56.059
 probably

00:38:56.059 --> 00:38:56.420
 what

00:38:57.699 --> 00:38:57.880
 it?

00:38:59.400 --> 00:38:59.940
 It

00:38:59.940 --> 00:39:00.219
 doesn't

 we

00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:53.460
 are

00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:56.280
 also

00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:56.780
 prayed

00:39:56.780 --> 00:39:57.039
 for

00:39:57.039 --> 00:39:57.199
 us

 receive

00:39:57.719 --> 00:39:57.900
 the

 father's

00:39:58.340 --> 00:39:58.659

00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:00.540
 even

00:40:00.540 --> 00:40:00.800
 though

00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:01.120
 we

00:40:01.120 --> 00:40:01.300
 were

00:40:01.300 --> 00:40:01.519
 the

00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:01.980
 evil

00:40:01.980 --> 00:40:02.440
 ones

00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:03.700
 deserving

00:40:03.700 --> 00:40:03.900
 of

00:40:03.900 --> 00:40:04.040
 his

00:40:04.040 --> 00:40:04.360
 judgment

00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:05.280
 and

 are

00:40:05.380 --> 00:40:05.500
 you

00:40:05.500 --> 00:40:05.680
 not

00:40:05.680 --> 00:40:06.120
 grateful

00:40:06.120 --> 00:40:07.040
 that

00:40:07.040 --> 00:40:07.220
 that

00:40:07.220 --> 00:40:07.340
 is

00:40:07.340 --> 00:40:07.480

 heart

 of

00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:08.180
 Christ

00:40:08.180 --> 00:40:09.660
 so

00:40:09.660 --> 00:40:09.840
 when

00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:10.140
 Peter

 to

00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:12.420
 bless

00:40:12.420 --> 00:40:13.500
 and

00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:14.740
 enemies

00:40:15.620 --> 00:40:15.780
 really

00:40:15.780 --> 00:40:16.000
 just

00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:16.200
 telling

 us

00:40:16.380 --> 00:40:16.519
 to

00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:16.740
 have

 Jesus

00:40:18.660 --> 00:40:18.980
 has

00:40:18.980 --> 00:40:19.200
 for

00:40:19.200 --> 00:40:19.560
 us

00:40:19.560 --> 00:40:20.760
 and

00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:20.900
 in

00:40:20.900 --> 00:40:21.080
 doing

00:40:21.080 --> 00:40:21.500
 that

00:40:22.200 --> 00:40:22.620
 glorify

00:40:22.620 --> 00:40:23.040
 God

00:40:23.040 --> 00:40:24.140
 and

00:40:24.140 --> 00:40:24.300
 we'll

00:40:24.300 --> 00:40:24.620
 show

00:40:24.620 --> 00:40:25.160
 the

00:40:25.160 --> 00:40:25.480
 world

00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:26.420
 the
