00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.060
 And as I was thinking on what we should talk about today, I decided on a topic that is really close to my heart, which is typically what you do when you have little notice.

00:00:12.460 --> 00:00:23.059
 And this topic has to do with a simple question that I think many of us may not have the best answer to, or maybe the most well thought out answer to.

00:00:23.059 --> 00:00:36.179
 And that question is, what should I do when I don't want to obey? When I don't desire righteousness, when I don't desire the things of God, what do I do?

00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:44.140
 Do I simply will myself into obedience? What actions or what does the word say about a lack of obedience?

00:00:44.140 --> 00:00:52.519
 Should I pretend like it's not there and just try to do better the next day, or is there something deeper that can be addressed in our hearts?

00:00:53.060 --> 00:01:06.980
 So before we open our text, the way that I'd like to frame this message is around a statement in answering that question, and then we'll kind of go through and unpack this statement as we go.

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:11.020
 So in response to the question, what should I do when I don't want to obey?

00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:13.880
 Response.

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:27.700
 Worldly desires, whether habitual or momentary, can only be remedied by the work of the Holy Spirit as He renews our minds, changing our beliefs, values, and therefore actions,

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:34.340
 as He fills believers with His presence through the receiving of God's Word with faith.

00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:43.420
 So again, it can only be done by the work of the Spirit as He renews our mind, changing our beliefs, values, and therefore actions,

00:01:44.300 --> 00:01:50.540
 as He fills believers with His presence through the receiving of God's Word with faith.

00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:55.520
 And we'll go through a couple of those points, and I'll be sure to repeat them as we go.

00:01:56.080 --> 00:02:01.359
 So let's read our text for today and see what the Lord has to say on this topic.

00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:07.620
 So Colossians chapter 3, I'm going to be reading verses 1 through 17.

00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.259
 Before we do that, I'd like to go to the Lord in prayer.

00:02:13.180 --> 00:02:13.960
 So y'all join me.

00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:18.120
 Dear God, I thank You for this day.

00:02:19.079 --> 00:02:27.420
 I thank You for Your Word, which is sufficient to accomplish everything that we need for life and for godliness.

00:02:27.419 --> 00:02:32.319
 God, I pray that we would put our trust in it and in You.

00:02:32.819 --> 00:02:38.459
 That we wouldn't trust in worldly philosophy, pop psychology, or even our own wisdom,

00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.379
 but that we would seek Your will by looking at Your Word.

00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.959
 God, I pray that You would renew our minds even in this moment.

00:02:48.099 --> 00:02:50.799
 That You would orient our hearts away from ourself,

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:56.840
 and that You would help us to seek after righteousness the way that You would have us seek after righteousness.

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:00.760
 God, let us lay aside any weak excuses.

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.240
 Let us lay aside any justification of ourselves,

00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:13.060
 and let us come to You humbly and ready to receive what You would have us to hear today.

00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:18.460
 Would You work effectively through me, Your servant.

00:03:19.099 --> 00:03:23.640
 God, and would You accomplish the purpose that You intend for this congregation today.

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.319
 So God, we love You. In your name we pray. Amen.

00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:31.400
 Alright, so Colossians chapter 3, verses 1 through 17.

00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.759
 And this is the Word of God.

00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:36.000
 And it says,

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:44.240
 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

00:03:45.139 --> 00:03:48.960
 Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth.

00:03:49.419 --> 00:03:53.300
 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

00:03:53.939 --> 00:03:59.219
 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:02.960
 Put to death, therefore, what is earthly in you,

00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:09.100
 sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:12.180
 On account of these, the wrath of God is coming.

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:16.620
 In these, you too once walked, when you were living in them.

00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:18.639
 But now you must put them all away.

00:04:19.139 --> 00:04:22.460
 Anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:27.000
 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices,

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:32.980
 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:41.459
 Here there is not Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free,

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.639
 but Christ is all and in all.

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.079
 Put on, then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved,

00:04:49.259 --> 00:04:53.399
 compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,

00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.579
 bearing with one another, and if one has a complaint against another,

00:04:57.779 --> 00:04:58.659
 forgiving each other.

00:04:58.939 --> 00:05:02.139
 As the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

00:05:02.819 --> 00:05:07.299
 And above all these, put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

00:05:08.019 --> 00:05:10.379
 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,

00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:14.659
 to which you were indeed called in one body, and be thankful.

00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.060
 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,

00:05:18.679 --> 00:05:21.139
 teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom,

00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:24.360
 singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

00:05:24.659 --> 00:05:26.939
 with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

00:05:27.459 --> 00:05:29.979
 And whatever you do, in word or deed,

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.639
 do everything in the name of our Lord Jesus,

00:05:32.899 --> 00:05:36.060
 giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.300
 Okay, so our first point in the first part of this statement,

00:05:41.659 --> 00:05:44.399
 the Spirit works to renew our minds.

00:05:44.659 --> 00:05:47.599
 The Spirit works to renew our minds.

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.560
 He does this in three specific ways that I see,

00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:53.480
 as I read this text in others.

00:05:54.640 --> 00:05:55.980
 He changes our beliefs,

00:05:56.520 --> 00:05:57.900
 He changes our values,

00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:01.379
 and therefore He changes our actions.

00:06:02.140 --> 00:06:03.960
 Now to understand this idea,

00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.820
 we have to understand where our actions and desires actually come from.

00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:11.240
 Actions are a result of values,

00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:13.580
 which come from our beliefs.

00:06:13.579 --> 00:06:16.300
 And so, when I'm using the word beliefs today,

00:06:16.419 --> 00:06:18.800
 I'm primarily talking about little b belief.

00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.279
 So, things that we believe to be true in a given period of time,

00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.579
 not necessarily like saving belief or saving faith.

00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.479
 And this concept is found throughout the Scriptures.

00:06:28.919 --> 00:06:32.599
 One example of this is in Luke 6, 43 through 45,

00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:33.439
 and it reads,

00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:59.819
 So, based off of what we treasure,

00:07:00.259 --> 00:07:01.279
 that's what we produce,

00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:02.500
 or that's what we do.

00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:07.300
 Each action we take is an expression of what we think is best for us,

00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:08.480
 most valuable,

00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:12.000
 and worth treasuring in any given moment in time.

00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:13.339
 So, every action that we take

00:07:13.339 --> 00:07:16.139
 always can be traced back to a belief.

00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:19.220
 And now, we're not always conscious of this going on

00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:21.019
 as we take actions no matter what it is,

00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.079
 but each action that we take

00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.399
 is a result of us thinking about

00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.180
 and doing what we believe is the best thing for us to do

00:07:28.180 --> 00:07:29.579
 in that given time.

00:07:30.220 --> 00:07:32.040
 Therefore, each time that we sin,

00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:33.740
 we're communicating to God

00:07:33.740 --> 00:07:35.800
 that our definition and understanding

00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.580
 of what will be best for us

00:07:37.580 --> 00:07:39.400
 is superior to His.

00:07:40.020 --> 00:07:41.640
 So, this was the original temptation

00:07:41.640 --> 00:07:42.720
 and sin in the garden.

00:07:43.220 --> 00:07:44.879
 And if we think about our own sin,

00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.879
 we'll find this to be true of us as well.

00:07:48.259 --> 00:07:50.320
 That ultimately, each sin that we commit

00:07:50.320 --> 00:07:52.180
 is a statement to God saying,

00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:52.980
 in this moment,

00:07:53.340 --> 00:07:55.100
 I believe that me sinning

00:07:55.100 --> 00:07:57.199
 was better than your plan for my life,

00:07:57.280 --> 00:07:59.360
 which you've commanded to us.

00:07:59.579 --> 00:07:59.740
 Right?

00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:00.439
 So, in this way,

00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:01.860
 every sin is an act of rebellion

00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:04.639
 and also an act of unbelief,

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:06.680
 even if we don't recognize it in the moment.

00:08:08.420 --> 00:08:10.519
 So, how does the Spirit renew our minds?

00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:12.660
 Firstly, the Spirit helps us

00:08:12.660 --> 00:08:14.540
 to change our actions.

00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:16.000
 And so, I'm kind of working backward

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.020
 from the outside,

00:08:17.580 --> 00:08:21.240
 and the Spirit helps to change our actions.

00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.439
 And the prophet Ezekiel is talking about

00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.160
 the new covenant that will come

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.180
 as a result of the Spirit

00:08:28.180 --> 00:08:31.100
 indwelling God's people after Christ.

00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:32.920
 He says in Ezekiel 36,

00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:53.319
 So, as a result of the indwelling Spirit,

00:08:53.779 --> 00:08:56.339
 we are caused, in one way or another,

00:08:56.659 --> 00:08:58.599
 to walk in God's statutes.

00:08:58.599 --> 00:09:00.039
 Jesus speaks similarly

00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.639
 in John chapter 14, verses 15 through 16.

00:09:04.419 --> 00:09:05.000
 He says,

00:09:05.459 --> 00:09:06.339
 If you love me,

00:09:06.599 --> 00:09:08.139
 you will keep my commandments.

00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:10.199
 And I'll ask the Father,

00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:13.559
 I'll ask the Father,

00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:15.860
 and He will give you another helper

00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:17.159
 to be with you forever,

00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:19.819
 even the Spirit of truth.

00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:20.339
 Okay?

00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:21.099
 If you love me,

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:21.980
 you'll keep my commandments.

00:09:22.319 --> 00:09:23.159
 I'll ask the Father,

00:09:23.299 --> 00:09:24.480
 and He will give you another helper

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:25.459
 to be with you forever,

00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.899
 even the Spirit of truth.

00:09:28.259 --> 00:09:29.159
 Now, obviously,

00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:30.620
 I hope it's obvious to you.

00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:33.039
 We don't do this in a perfect sense.

00:09:33.139 --> 00:09:34.480
 Just because we have the Spirit of God

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.779
 doesn't mean we now obey perfectly.

00:09:37.439 --> 00:09:39.360
 But, in some way or another,

00:09:39.899 --> 00:09:42.399
 the Spirit being inside of us

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.559
 causes us and helps us to walk

00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.039
 in the way that God wants us to walk.

00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:48.600
 When reading these passages,

00:09:48.740 --> 00:09:49.539
 you may wonder

00:09:49.539 --> 00:09:51.919
 how we can both maintain our free will

00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.159
 and also be caused to walk

00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:55.559
 in God's statutes.

00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.059
 So, the way that this works,

00:09:58.419 --> 00:10:00.259
 I'm not going to pretend like I know

00:10:00.259 --> 00:10:01.599
 all of the inner workings

00:10:01.599 --> 00:10:03.879
 of this idea,

00:10:04.219 --> 00:10:06.219
 but it is clear that

00:10:06.219 --> 00:10:07.559
 somehow it does work.

00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.139
 So, we always have the free will

00:10:09.139 --> 00:10:10.739
 to choose what we want to do.

00:10:11.259 --> 00:10:12.299
 It's simply that

00:10:12.299 --> 00:10:13.639
 what we want to do

00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:14.779
 will change

00:10:14.779 --> 00:10:17.079
 as God removes our heart of stone

00:10:17.079 --> 00:10:19.699
 and replaces it with a heart of flesh.

00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:20.660
 So, again,

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:21.620
 we always have free will

00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:22.680
 to choose what we want.

00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:23.379
 It's just that

00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:24.580
 what we want changes

00:10:24.580 --> 00:10:26.920
 as we're given a new heart.

00:10:27.140 --> 00:10:27.700
 So, this brings us

00:10:27.700 --> 00:10:28.420
 to our second point.

00:10:28.520 --> 00:10:30.100
 The Spirit works...

00:10:30.100 --> 00:10:31.140
 Our second sub-point.

00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:33.000
 The Spirit works to change

00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:34.540
 our values and desires.

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:35.960
 How does the Spirit renew the mind?

00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:38.600
 He works to cause us to obey.

00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:40.200
 And the Spirit works to change

00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.140
 our values and desires.

00:10:42.680 --> 00:10:44.280
 So, David ties this idea

00:10:44.280 --> 00:10:45.580
 of God helping us obey

00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:46.759
 with our values and desires

00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.639
 in Psalm 37.

00:10:48.939 --> 00:10:49.740
 So, let's turn there.

00:10:49.939 --> 00:10:50.700
 Psalm 37,

00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:52.000
 starting in verse 3.

00:10:59.379 --> 00:11:01.159
 This is a psalm

00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:02.460
 that's often misconstrued.

00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:03.519
 I hope that we can shed

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.019
 some light on its true meaning today.

00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.679
 Psalm 37,

00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:10.100
 verses 3 through 7.

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:12.679
 Trust in the Lord

00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:13.600
 and do good.

00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:15.439
 Dwell in the land

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.180
 and befriend faithfulness.

00:11:18.040 --> 00:11:19.260
 Delight yourself in the Lord

00:11:19.260 --> 00:11:20.300
 and He will give you

00:11:20.300 --> 00:11:21.660
 the desires of your heart.

00:11:22.880 --> 00:11:24.240
 Commit your way to the Lord.

00:11:24.540 --> 00:11:25.340
 Trust in Him

00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:27.480
 and your justice as the noonday.

00:11:28.040 --> 00:11:29.340
 Be still before the Lord

00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:31.460
 and wait patiently for Him.

00:11:32.460 --> 00:11:33.900
 Okay, so many take

00:11:33.900 --> 00:11:35.700
 verse 4 by itself

00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:37.120
 and use it to mean

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:38.080
 all types of things.

00:11:38.280 --> 00:11:40.180
 Like, if you want a Ferrari,

00:11:40.520 --> 00:11:41.760
 then delight yourself in the Lord

00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:42.960
 and then God will give you

00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:43.860
 the desires of your heart.

00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:44.540
 A Ferrari.

00:11:44.539 --> 00:11:45.659
 But I don't think

00:11:45.659 --> 00:11:46.519
 that's quite what

00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.179
 this passage is saying.

00:11:49.319 --> 00:11:50.379
 As we believe

00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:51.319
 the Lord is trustworthy,

00:11:51.779 --> 00:11:53.139
 as we saw in verse 3,

00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.459
 is who He says He is

00:11:55.459 --> 00:11:57.279
 and therefore value Him,

00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.860
 delighting ourselves in Him.

00:12:00.699 --> 00:12:01.899
 Once we believe

00:12:01.899 --> 00:12:02.759
 what He says

00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:03.819
 over what our flesh

00:12:03.819 --> 00:12:04.959
 tempts us to believe,

00:12:05.659 --> 00:12:06.480
 He will give us

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:07.899
 what we now desire.

00:12:08.059 --> 00:12:08.939
 So once our delight

00:12:08.939 --> 00:12:09.579
 is in Him,

00:12:09.959 --> 00:12:11.379
 our desires change.

00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:12.419
 He goes on to say,

00:12:12.419 --> 00:12:13.819
 commit your way to the Lord,

00:12:14.339 --> 00:12:15.039
 trust in Him,

00:12:15.099 --> 00:12:16.099
 and He will act.

00:12:16.099 --> 00:12:16.939
 To do what?

00:12:17.579 --> 00:12:18.459
 To bring forth

00:12:18.459 --> 00:12:19.399
 your righteousness

00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.579
 as the light

00:12:20.579 --> 00:12:21.679
 and your justice

00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:23.639
 as the noonday.

00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:24.860
 So He gives us

00:12:24.860 --> 00:12:26.379
 now what we desire

00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:27.439
 with a new heart

00:12:27.439 --> 00:12:28.399
 delighted in the Lord,

00:12:28.839 --> 00:12:29.339
 righteousness,

00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:31.000
 faithfulness,

00:12:31.199 --> 00:12:32.120
 and justice.

00:12:33.079 --> 00:12:34.019
 Third sub-point,

00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:34.779
 how does the Spirit

00:12:34.779 --> 00:12:35.519
 renew our minds?

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.079
 The Spirit helps us

00:12:37.079 --> 00:12:39.259
 to change our thoughts

00:12:39.259 --> 00:12:41.500
 or our little-be beliefs.

00:12:42.659 --> 00:12:43.759
 So we're going to flip over

00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:45.220
 to the parallel passage

00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:46.779
 to ours from Colossians

00:12:46.779 --> 00:12:47.340
 this morning

00:12:47.340 --> 00:12:48.740
 as we look in Ephesians

00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:49.460
 chapter 4,

00:12:50.379 --> 00:12:52.699
 starting in verse 17.

00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:53.799
 So flip back forward,

00:12:54.019 --> 00:12:55.100
 Ephesians chapter 4,

00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:57.179
 starting in verse 17.

00:13:01.340 --> 00:13:02.419
 We'll see this

00:13:02.419 --> 00:13:03.699
 a little bit more later on,

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:07.080
 but Paul, in many ways,

00:13:07.140 --> 00:13:08.720
 is writing similar things

00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:10.200
 to the church at Colossae

00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:11.680
 and the church at Ephesus

00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:12.680
 in these two letters.

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:14.540
 And the more that you dig in

00:13:14.540 --> 00:13:15.680
 to these two passages,

00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:16.700
 the more you see

00:13:16.700 --> 00:13:18.280
 how they line up together

00:13:18.280 --> 00:13:19.980
 and the way that they line up

00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:21.320
 has real significance

00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.700
 for understanding this concept

00:13:23.700 --> 00:13:24.580
 of what do we do

00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:26.660
 when we don't want to obey.

00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:30.520
 Alright, so Ephesians 4,

00:13:30.660 --> 00:13:32.680
 starting in verse 17.

00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:35.320
 It says,

00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:36.600
 Now this I say

00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.120
 and testify in the Lord,

00:13:38.520 --> 00:13:39.840
 that you must no longer walk

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:40.920
 as the Gentiles do

00:13:40.920 --> 00:13:41.860
 in the futility

00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:42.840
 of their minds.

00:13:43.560 --> 00:13:44.440
 They are darkened

00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:45.340
 in their understanding,

00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:47.620
 alienated from the life of God

00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:48.640
 because of the ignorance

00:13:48.640 --> 00:13:49.420
 that is in them

00:13:49.420 --> 00:13:51.080
 due to their hardness of heart.

00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:53.000
 They have become callous

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:54.220
 and have given themselves up

00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:55.160
 to sensuality,

00:13:55.760 --> 00:13:56.560
 greedy to practice

00:13:56.560 --> 00:13:57.760
 every kind of impurity.

00:13:58.200 --> 00:13:59.260
 But that is not the way

00:13:59.260 --> 00:14:00.220
 that you learn Christ.

00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:01.660
 Assuming that you have heard

00:14:01.660 --> 00:14:02.280
 about Him

00:14:02.280 --> 00:14:03.500
 and were taught in Him

00:14:03.500 --> 00:14:04.919
 as the truth is in Jesus,

00:14:05.580 --> 00:14:07.139
 to put off the old self

00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:08.240
 which belongs

00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.759
 to your former manner of life

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:10.820
 and is corrupt

00:14:10.820 --> 00:14:11.960
 through deceitful desires,

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:13.360
 and to be renewed

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:15.159
 in the spirit of your minds,

00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:16.940
 and to put on the new self

00:14:16.940 --> 00:14:18.679
 created after the likeness of God

00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.019
 in true righteousness

00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:21.240
 and holiness.

00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.419
 Okay, so this text shows us

00:14:23.419 --> 00:14:25.299
 that futile, ignorant,

00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:27.919
 godless, and callous minds

00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.580
 produce sensuality,

00:14:30.740 --> 00:14:32.279
 doing that which pleases the senses,

00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:34.279
 impure practice,

00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:35.519
 corrupt desires,

00:14:36.060 --> 00:14:37.220
 and so forth.

00:14:37.379 --> 00:14:39.700
 So based off of what is in the mind,

00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:40.779
 the thoughts,

00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.039
 they produce actions.

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.759
 So futile, ignorant, godless minds

00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.560
 produce futile, ignorant, godless actions.

00:14:49.219 --> 00:14:51.039
 So notice the solution though

00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:51.759
 in this passage

00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:52.739
 and others that we'll read.

00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:54.319
 The solution is not simply

00:14:54.319 --> 00:14:55.099
 to try harder,

00:14:55.339 --> 00:14:56.839
 or the solution is not simply

00:14:56.839 --> 00:14:58.279
 to change the behavior

00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:59.159
 that that will come,

00:14:59.579 --> 00:15:01.679
 but the solution is to be renewed

00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.699
 in the spirit of your minds.

00:15:05.779 --> 00:15:07.579
 Then from our text this morning,

00:15:08.579 --> 00:15:09.639
 Paul encourages us

00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:10.559
 to set our mind

00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:11.559
 on the things of above

00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:12.739
 where Christ is seated.

00:15:13.339 --> 00:15:14.879
 Having finished the work

00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:16.500
 of destroying the power of sin

00:15:16.500 --> 00:15:18.740
 by taking its consequences on himself,

00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.779
 nailing our record of debt

00:15:20.779 --> 00:15:21.539
 to the cross,

00:15:22.059 --> 00:15:23.379
 and allowing us now

00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:24.820
 to draw near to God

00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:26.879
 as we've been studying in Hebrews.

00:15:27.059 --> 00:15:28.019
 So as we think about,

00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:29.059
 as we set our mind,

00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:32.440
 as we focus on Christ's finished work,

00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:33.679
 then that produces

00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:36.320
 a type of obedience in us.

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:37.419
 Paul believes

00:15:37.419 --> 00:15:39.100
 as we shift our focus

00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:40.539
 off of the things of this world,

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:43.860
 we'll then be able to put to death

00:15:43.860 --> 00:15:45.340
 what is evil in us,

00:15:45.340 --> 00:15:46.680
 as it says in verse 5,

00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.200
 by putting on the new self,

00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:51.300
 which is being renewed in knowledge.

00:15:51.419 --> 00:15:51.840
 So again,

00:15:51.980 --> 00:15:52.560
 Paul believes

00:15:52.560 --> 00:15:53.800
 as we shift our focus

00:15:53.800 --> 00:15:55.340
 off of the things of this world,

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:57.879
 we'll then be able to put to death

00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.419
 what is evil in us,

00:15:59.539 --> 00:16:00.980
 by putting on the new self,

00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:03.600
 which is being renewed in knowledge.

00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:05.100
 Lastly,

00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:06.860
 Paul tells us

00:16:06.860 --> 00:16:08.120
 in the Roman believers,

00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:08.740
 sorry,

00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:09.940
 in the letter to the Roman believers,

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:11.100
 chapter 12,

00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:11.680
 verse 2,

00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:13.579
 do not be conformed to this world,

00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:14.500
 but be transformed

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:15.959
 by the renewal of your mind,

00:16:16.359 --> 00:16:17.159
 that by testing

00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:18.000
 you may discern

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:18.959
 what is the will of God,

00:16:19.339 --> 00:16:20.099
 what is good,

00:16:20.339 --> 00:16:20.699
 acceptable,

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.739
 and perfect.

00:16:22.459 --> 00:16:23.159
 So again,

00:16:23.259 --> 00:16:24.079
 we are transformed

00:16:24.079 --> 00:16:25.599
 in our outward action

00:16:25.599 --> 00:16:27.379
 by the renewal of the mind,

00:16:27.739 --> 00:16:29.539
 so that we can aptly decide

00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:30.259
 what is good,

00:16:30.719 --> 00:16:31.120
 acceptable,

00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:32.219
 and perfect.

00:16:33.099 --> 00:16:33.759
 Notice something

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.719
 in all three cases

00:16:34.719 --> 00:16:35.979
 that the renewal of the mind

00:16:35.979 --> 00:16:37.039
 is always spoken of

00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:38.539
 in the passive tense.

00:16:38.539 --> 00:16:40.439
 So Paul is not saying here,

00:16:40.939 --> 00:16:41.659
 renew your mind,

00:16:42.199 --> 00:16:42.879
 he is saying,

00:16:43.239 --> 00:16:43.979
 allow your mind

00:16:43.979 --> 00:16:45.539
 to be renewed.

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:47.759
 And that begs the question,

00:16:47.839 --> 00:16:48.419
 anytime you are using

00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:49.139
 the passive voice

00:16:49.139 --> 00:16:50.079
 in English,

00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:51.439
 it takes away

00:16:51.439 --> 00:16:52.239
 the agency.

00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:53.559
 So the question is,

00:16:53.699 --> 00:16:54.259
 by whom?

00:16:54.579 --> 00:16:55.259
 Who is doing?

00:16:55.359 --> 00:16:56.319
 Or what is doing

00:16:56.319 --> 00:16:57.679
 the renewing?

00:16:57.979 --> 00:16:58.659
 And we will see

00:16:58.659 --> 00:16:59.620
 that it is the Spirit

00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:00.639
 of God.

00:17:01.219 --> 00:17:02.159
 How does he do that?

00:17:02.539 --> 00:17:03.659
 He fills us

00:17:03.659 --> 00:17:04.720
 with his presence.

00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:05.599
 So that brings us

00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:07.000
 to our next point

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:07.779
 in our statement,

00:17:07.779 --> 00:17:09.000
 the Spirit works

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:10.480
 by filling us

00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.240
 with his presence.

00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:13.519
 So let's skip down

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:14.119
 in Ephesians

00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.220
 to chapter 5,

00:17:17.140 --> 00:17:19.480
 verses 18 through 21.

00:17:20.619 --> 00:17:21.799
 As we are going,

00:17:21.900 --> 00:17:22.799
 notice the similarities

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:24.200
 between this passage

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.880
 in Ephesians

00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:26.240
 and Paul's letter

00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:27.480
 from our original text

00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:28.880
 in Colossians 3.

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.220
 So Ephesians 5,

00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:31.960
 18 through 21.

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:36.299
 Again,

00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.059
 another commonly

00:17:37.059 --> 00:17:38.240
 misconstrued text.

00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:39.539
 And it says,

00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:40.740
 Do not get drunk

00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:41.360
 with wine,

00:17:41.460 --> 00:17:42.660
 for that is debauchery,

00:17:43.059 --> 00:17:44.000
 but be filled

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:44.720
 with the Spirit,

00:17:45.360 --> 00:17:46.279
 addressing one another

00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:47.640
 in psalms and hymns

00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:48.660
 and spiritual songs,

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:50.100
 singing and making

00:17:50.100 --> 00:17:51.100
 melodies to the Lord

00:17:51.100 --> 00:17:52.039
 with all your heart,

00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:53.779
 giving thanks always

00:17:53.779 --> 00:17:54.500
 and for everything

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:55.600
 to God the Father

00:17:55.600 --> 00:17:56.420
 in the name

00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:57.600
 of our Lord Jesus Christ,

00:17:58.420 --> 00:17:59.680
 submitting to one another

00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:01.000
 out of reverence

00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:01.799
 for Christ.

00:18:02.340 --> 00:18:03.960
 So if I asked everyone,

00:18:04.340 --> 00:18:05.180
 50 people maybe,

00:18:05.340 --> 00:18:06.160
 in this room

00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:07.000
 what it meant

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:07.460
 to be filled

00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:08.019
 with the Spirit,

00:18:08.460 --> 00:18:09.079
 I would get a bunch

00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:09.880
 of different answers.

00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:11.539
 What our idea behind,

00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:12.960
 what is this filling

00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:14.079
 of the Spirit?

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:15.519
 And if I went outside

00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.519
 of this church,

00:18:16.539 --> 00:18:17.059
 I would get

00:18:17.059 --> 00:18:18.259
 an even greater diversity

00:18:18.259 --> 00:18:18.779
 of answers.

00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:19.660
 What does it mean

00:18:19.660 --> 00:18:20.840
 to be filled

00:18:20.840 --> 00:18:21.980
 with the Spirit?

00:18:22.259 --> 00:18:23.319
 Many have an idea

00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:25.460
 that's primarily mystical,

00:18:26.180 --> 00:18:27.380
 emotional in nature,

00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:29.180
 and extraordinary.

00:18:29.860 --> 00:18:30.680
 Maybe the best word

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:31.279
 would be,

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.000
 we think of it

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:32.859
 as a spectacle

00:18:32.859 --> 00:18:34.660
 that we put on

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:35.279
 a performance.

00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:36.259
 But I believe

00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:37.319
 there's a definitive answer

00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:38.200
 to this question,

00:18:38.879 --> 00:18:39.480
 what does it mean

00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:39.940
 to be filled

00:18:39.940 --> 00:18:40.519
 with the Spirit?

00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:41.879
 But to understand it,

00:18:41.879 --> 00:18:42.259
 we're going to have

00:18:42.259 --> 00:18:42.960
 to do some work

00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:44.579
 to reach a decent conclusion.

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:45.839
 In short,

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:46.420
 to be filled

00:18:46.420 --> 00:18:47.119
 with the Spirit

00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:48.920
 is to allow

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:49.700
 the Word of God

00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:51.079
 to dwell in us

00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:51.960
 richly.

00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:52.899
 Now,

00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:53.599
 I know that those

00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:54.799
 two themes

00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:55.859
 may not seem

00:18:55.859 --> 00:18:56.659
 like they're related,

00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:59.759
 but we'll see

00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:00.339
 as we look

00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:01.119
 at our two passages

00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:01.619
 together

00:19:01.619 --> 00:19:02.519
 how this is

00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:03.379
 indeed the case.

00:19:03.859 --> 00:19:04.279
 So,

00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:05.019
 if you prefer

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:05.759
 the next part

00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:06.399
 of our statement,

00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:07.500
 God fills us

00:19:07.500 --> 00:19:08.179
 with the Spirit

00:19:08.179 --> 00:19:09.319
 as we receive

00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:10.019
 His Word

00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:11.519
 through faith.

00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:12.759
 So,

00:19:12.859 --> 00:19:13.659
 looking at this passage

00:19:13.659 --> 00:19:14.279
 in Ephesians,

00:19:14.679 --> 00:19:15.399
 we can see

00:19:15.399 --> 00:19:16.559
 that in Paul's mind,

00:19:16.699 --> 00:19:17.240
 being filled

00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:17.899
 with the Spirit

00:19:17.899 --> 00:19:18.779
 looks like

00:19:18.779 --> 00:19:19.679
 at least a couple

00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:20.399
 of things.

00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:21.740
 Seeing to

00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:22.539
 and with other

00:19:22.539 --> 00:19:22.920
 believers

00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:23.819
 and to God

00:19:23.819 --> 00:19:24.680
 looks like

00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:25.120
 gratitude

00:19:25.120 --> 00:19:25.819
 and it looks

00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:26.579
 like submission

00:19:26.579 --> 00:19:27.980
 to authority.

00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:28.720
 Now,

00:19:29.120 --> 00:19:29.839
 you may have

00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:30.380
 read this

00:19:30.380 --> 00:19:31.240
 unintentionally

00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:32.519
 as Paul's

00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.299
 giving a list

00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:34.319
 because he kind

00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:35.240
 of is in the

00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:36.000
 middle of a list

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.000
 and so we have

00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:37.339
 a tendency

00:19:37.339 --> 00:19:38.059
 to keep going

00:19:38.059 --> 00:19:38.740
 on that list.

00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:39.740
 But notice

00:19:39.740 --> 00:19:40.539
 when he says

00:19:40.539 --> 00:19:41.519
 be filled

00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:42.140
 with the Spirit

00:19:42.140 --> 00:19:42.859
 and then it's

00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:43.500
 followed by

00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:44.779
 three participles

00:19:44.779 --> 00:19:45.779
 and these participles

00:19:45.779 --> 00:19:46.700
 in English

00:19:46.700 --> 00:19:47.620
 they're adverbial

00:19:47.620 --> 00:19:48.120
 phrases

00:19:48.120 --> 00:19:48.920
 which means

00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:49.680
 that it's

00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:50.339
 modifying

00:19:50.339 --> 00:19:51.440
 how we should

00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:52.080
 be filled

00:19:52.080 --> 00:19:53.180
 with the Spirit.

00:19:53.539 --> 00:19:54.440
 The three words

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:55.580
 be filled

00:19:55.580 --> 00:19:56.120
 with the Spirit

00:19:56.120 --> 00:19:57.259
 how addressing

00:19:57.259 --> 00:19:57.820
 one another

00:19:57.820 --> 00:19:59.360
 giving thanks

00:19:59.360 --> 00:20:00.420
 and submitting

00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:01.059
 to one another

00:20:01.059 --> 00:20:02.360
 out of reverence

00:20:02.360 --> 00:20:03.259
 for Christ.

00:20:03.340 --> 00:20:03.740
 So they are

00:20:03.740 --> 00:20:04.200
 connected

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:04.519
 and it's

00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:04.960
 answering the

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:05.340
 question

00:20:05.340 --> 00:20:05.880
 what does

00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:06.380
 it look like

00:20:06.380 --> 00:20:06.759
 or how

00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:07.220
 should we

00:20:07.220 --> 00:20:08.279
 be filled

00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:09.299
 with the Spirit.

00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:10.279
 So as I've

00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:10.680
 pointed out

00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:11.100
 you've probably

00:20:11.100 --> 00:20:11.559
 noticed

00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:12.680
 several similarities

00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:13.559
 between Paul's

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:14.440
 writing in Ephesians

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:15.740
 and in Colossians

00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:16.799
 and these are

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:18.100
 not by accident.

00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:18.539
 So let's

00:20:18.539 --> 00:20:19.059
 flip back to

00:20:19.059 --> 00:20:19.580
 our passage

00:20:19.580 --> 00:20:19.980
 I know we're

00:20:19.980 --> 00:20:20.320
 doing a lot

00:20:20.320 --> 00:20:20.620
 of flipping

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:21.519
 but it is

00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:22.000
 important for

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:22.339
 you to see.

00:20:23.059 --> 00:20:23.639
 So back

00:20:23.639 --> 00:20:24.439
 to Colossians

00:20:24.439 --> 00:20:24.759
 3

00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:36.099
 in verse

00:20:36.099 --> 00:20:36.639
 16

00:20:36.639 --> 00:20:39.199
 it says

00:20:39.199 --> 00:20:39.679
 let the

00:20:39.679 --> 00:20:40.079
 word of

00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:40.519
 Christ

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:41.199
 dwell in

00:20:41.199 --> 00:20:41.799
 you richly

00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:42.659
 teaching

00:20:42.659 --> 00:20:43.459
 and admonishing

00:20:43.459 --> 00:20:43.919
 one another

00:20:43.919 --> 00:20:44.679
 in all wisdom

00:20:44.679 --> 00:20:45.639
 singing

00:20:45.639 --> 00:20:46.319
 psalms

00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:46.979
 and hymns

00:20:46.979 --> 00:20:47.500
 and spiritual

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:48.059
 songs

00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:49.299
 with thankfulness

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:49.720
 in your heart

00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:50.220
 to God

00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:51.000
 and whatever

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:51.599
 you do

00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:52.079
 in a word

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:52.440
 or deed

00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:52.980
 do everything

00:20:52.980 --> 00:20:53.399
 in the name

00:20:53.399 --> 00:20:53.859
 of our Lord

00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:54.139
 Jesus

00:20:54.139 --> 00:20:55.519
 giving thanks

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:55.940
 to God

00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:56.379
 the Father

00:20:56.379 --> 00:20:57.319
 through him

00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:58.359
 and just like

00:20:58.359 --> 00:20:58.899
 in Ephesians

00:20:58.899 --> 00:20:59.579
 he goes on

00:20:59.579 --> 00:20:59.960
 to talk

00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:00.639
 about submission

00:21:00.639 --> 00:21:01.379
 in various

00:21:01.379 --> 00:21:01.879
 areas

00:21:01.879 --> 00:21:02.619
 in family

00:21:02.619 --> 00:21:03.480
 in our

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:03.980
 employment

00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:06.359
 and then

00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:07.539
 masters

00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:09.139
 and slaves

00:21:09.139 --> 00:21:10.720
 okay

00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:11.359
 so in both

00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:11.879
 cases

00:21:11.879 --> 00:21:13.200
 we have

00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.639
 these

00:21:13.639 --> 00:21:14.259
 three

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:14.980
 indicators

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:15.339
 of what

00:21:15.339 --> 00:21:15.640
 it looks

00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:15.880
 like

00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:16.160
 on the

00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:16.360
 one

00:21:16.360 --> 00:21:16.559
 hand

00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:16.860
 to be

00:21:16.860 --> 00:21:17.039
 filled

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.200
 with

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:17.339
 the

00:21:17.339 --> 00:21:17.620
 spirit

00:21:17.620 --> 00:21:18.299
 and on

00:21:18.299 --> 00:21:18.400
 the

00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:18.579
 other

00:21:18.579 --> 00:21:18.920
 hand

00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:19.120
 what

00:21:19.120 --> 00:21:19.240
 it

00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:19.480
 looks

00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:19.779
 like

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:20.140
 to have

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:20.279
 the

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:20.440
 word

00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:20.579
 of

00:21:20.579 --> 00:21:20.940
 Christ

00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:21.839
 dwell

00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:22.500
 in us

00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:23.420
 richly

00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:23.960
 those

00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:24.160
 three

00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:24.539
 things

00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:25.079
 singing

00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:26.079
 gratitude

00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:26.860
 and

00:21:26.860 --> 00:21:27.420
 submission

00:21:27.420 --> 00:21:28.299
 to

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:28.900
 authority

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:29.319
 so in

00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:29.740
 Paul's

00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:30.160
 mind

00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:30.880
 being

00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:31.140
 filled

00:21:31.140 --> 00:21:31.279
 with

00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:31.420
 the

00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:31.759
 spirit

00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:32.579
 produces

00:21:32.579 --> 00:21:32.940
 the

00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:33.279
 same

00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:33.819
 exact

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:34.480
 things

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:34.940
 as

00:21:34.940 --> 00:21:35.319
 allowing

00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:35.539
 the

00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:35.740
 word

00:21:35.740 --> 00:21:35.900
 of

00:21:35.900 --> 00:21:36.259
 God

00:21:36.259 --> 00:21:36.519
 to

00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:36.900
 dwell

00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:37.140
 in

00:21:37.140 --> 00:21:37.319
 us

00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:37.839
 richly

00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:38.660
 if

00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:38.759
 you're

00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:38.880
 not

00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:39.099
 quite

00:21:39.099 --> 00:21:39.440
 convinced

00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:39.599
 that

00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:39.740
 these

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:40.120
 passages

00:21:40.120 --> 00:21:40.319
 are

00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:40.620
 truly

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:45.960
 so the

00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:46.160
 deeper

00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:46.339
 you

00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:46.660
 dive

00:21:46.660 --> 00:21:46.839
 the

00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:47.019
 more

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.559
 similarities

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:47.940
 stick

00:21:47.940 --> 00:21:48.240
 out

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:48.640
 these

00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:48.839
 two

00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:49.220
 passages

00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:49.500
 mirror

00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:49.700
 one

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:49.980
 another

00:21:49.980 --> 00:21:50.440
 all the

00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:50.579
 way

00:21:50.579 --> 00:21:50.880
 back

00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:51.120
 from

00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:51.779
 Colossians

00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:52.160
 2

00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:53.079

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:53.860
 forward

00:21:53.860 --> 00:21:54.420
 to

00:21:54.420 --> 00:21:54.960
 chapter

00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:55.299
 4

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:55.539
 verse

00:21:55.539 --> 00:21:55.900
 1

00:21:55.900 --> 00:21:56.799
 which

00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:57.319
 mirrors

00:21:57.319 --> 00:21:58.000
 Ephesians

00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:58.559

 way

00:22:00.140 --> 00:22:00.680
 through

00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:02.700
 9

00:22:02.700 --> 00:22:03.839
 both

00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:04.279
 passages

00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:04.539
 are

00:22:04.539 --> 00:22:05.120
 describing

00:22:05.120 --> 00:22:05.380
 what

00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:05.519
 the

00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:05.720
 new

00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:06.039
 life

00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:06.259
 should

00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:06.480
 look

00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:06.799
 like

00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:07.079
 in

00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:07.500
 comparison

00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:07.839
 with

00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:07.960
 the

00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:08.220
 old

00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:09.140
 both

00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:09.559
 begin

00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:09.819
 by

00:22:09.819 --> 00:22:10.200
 warning

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:10.559
 against

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:10.839
 false

00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:11.319
 doctrine

00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:11.579
 and

00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:11.700
 a

00:22:11.700 --> 00:22:12.019
 command

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:12.220
 to

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:12.539
 hold

00:22:12.539 --> 00:22:13.019
 fast

00:22:13.019 --> 00:22:13.220
 to

00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:13.640
 Christ

00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:14.240
 as

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:14.360
 the

00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:14.479
 head

00:22:14.479 --> 00:22:14.599
 of

00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:14.699
 the

00:22:14.699 --> 00:22:15.019
 body

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.879
 they

00:22:15.879 --> 00:22:16.059
 go

00:22:16.059 --> 00:22:16.299
 on

00:22:16.299 --> 00:22:16.419
 to

 encourage

00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:17.179
 readers

00:22:17.179 --> 00:22:17.399
 to

00:22:17.399 --> 00:22:17.539
 put

00:22:17.539 --> 00:22:17.719
 off

00:22:17.719 --> 00:22:17.859
 the

00:22:17.859 --> 00:22:18.079
 old

00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:18.500
 self

00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:19.299
 characterized

00:22:19.299 --> 00:22:19.740
 by

00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:20.139
 callous

00:22:20.139 --> 00:22:20.479
 minds

00:22:20.479 --> 00:22:20.659
 and

00:22:20.659 --> 00:22:20.899
 hard

00:22:20.899 --> 00:22:21.299
 hearts

00:22:21.299 --> 00:22:21.740
 producing

00:22:21.740 --> 00:22:22.199
 anger

00:22:22.199 --> 00:22:23.059
 sensuality

00:22:23.059 --> 00:22:23.479
 greed

00:22:23.479 --> 00:22:23.599
 and

00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:23.879
 impure

00:22:23.879 --> 00:22:24.359
 talk

00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:24.919
 and

00:22:24.919 --> 00:22:25.039
 to

00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:25.179
 put

00:22:25.179 --> 00:22:25.339
 on

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:25.459
 the

00:22:25.459 --> 00:22:25.659
 new

00:22:25.659 --> 00:22:25.979
 self

00:22:25.979 --> 00:22:26.159
 which

00:22:26.159 --> 00:22:26.279
 is

00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:26.479
 being

00:22:26.479 --> 00:22:26.899
 renewed

00:22:26.899 --> 00:22:27.479
 in

00:22:27.479 --> 00:22:27.619
 the

00:22:27.619 --> 00:22:28.159
 likeness

00:22:28.159 --> 00:22:28.339
 or

00:22:28.339 --> 00:22:28.500
 in

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:28.639
 the

00:22:28.639 --> 00:22:29.139
 knowledge

00:22:29.139 --> 00:22:29.699
 of

00:22:29.699 --> 00:22:30.079
 God

00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:30.959
 both

00:22:30.959 --> 00:22:31.399
 passages

00:22:31.399 --> 00:22:31.659
 as

00:22:31.659 --> 00:22:31.899
 we've

00:22:31.899 --> 00:22:32.199
 seen

00:22:32.199 --> 00:22:32.619
 emphasize

00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:32.979
 the

00:22:32.979 --> 00:22:33.359
 role

00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:33.879
 of

00:22:33.879 --> 00:22:34.000
 the

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:34.319
 renewed

00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:34.319


00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:34.639
 mind

00:22:34.639 --> 00:22:34.779
 in

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:35.159
 producing

00:22:35.159 --> 00:22:35.439
 new

00:22:35.439 --> 00:22:35.859
 action

00:22:35.859 --> 00:22:36.500
 and

00:22:36.500 --> 00:22:36.639
 they

00:22:36.639 --> 00:22:36.959
 both

00:22:36.959 --> 00:22:37.539
 lead

00:22:37.539 --> 00:22:37.939
 to

00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:44.479
 on

00:22:44.479 --> 00:22:44.639
 us

00:22:44.639 --> 00:22:45.099
 richly

00:22:45.099 --> 00:22:45.579
 and

00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:45.719
 to

00:22:45.719 --> 00:22:45.879
 be

00:22:45.879 --> 00:22:46.240
 filled

00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:46.719
 with

00:22:46.719 --> 00:22:46.939
 the

00:22:46.939 --> 00:22:47.199
 Holy

00:22:47.199 --> 00:22:47.679
 Spirit

00:22:47.679 --> 00:22:48.500
 there's

00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:48.679
 a lot

00:22:48.679 --> 00:22:48.839
 more

00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:49.240
 similarities

00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:49.659
 than that

00:22:49.659 --> 00:22:50.339
 just a

00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:50.599
 quick

00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:51.259
 few

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:51.539
 for

00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:51.939

00:22:54.959 --> 00:22:55.179
 two

00:22:55.179 --> 00:22:55.559

00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:56.199

00:22:56.199 --> 00:22:57.500

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:57.779
 try to

00:22:57.779 --> 00:22:58.099
 read this

00:22:58.099 --> 00:22:58.339
 well

00:22:58.339 --> 00:22:58.859
 it's

00:22:58.859 --> 00:22:59.099
 kind of

00:22:59.099 --> 00:22:59.359
 a lengthy

00:22:59.359 --> 00:22:59.639
 quote

00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.300
 if we

00:23:03.180 --> 00:23:03.480

00:23:15.380 --> 00:23:15.540

 an

00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:41.220
 ongoing

00:23:41.220 --> 00:23:41.800
 hearing

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:48.480
 this

00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:49.080
 perspective

00:23:49.080 --> 00:23:50.140
 I

00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:50.300
 think

00:23:50.300 --> 00:23:50.460
 this is

00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:50.720
 the last

00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:50.960
 place

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:51.120
 we'll

00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:51.280
 turn

00:23:51.280 --> 00:23:51.600
 today

00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:51.980
 just

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:52.120
 a

00:23:52.120 --> 00:23:52.259
 couple

00:23:52.259 --> 00:23:52.380
 of

00:23:54.980 --> 00:23:55.000
!

00:23:55.000 --> 00:24:05.180
 And I

00:24:05.180 --> 00:24:05.380
 have to

00:24:05.380 --> 00:24:05.680
 admit

00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:06.420
 before

00:24:06.420 --> 00:24:08.220
 studying

00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:08.460
 this

00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:08.900
 passage

00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:09.400
 I've

00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:09.599
 read

00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:10.220
 this

00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:10.359
 one

00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:10.500
 in

00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:10.859
 particular

00:24:10.859 --> 00:24:11.079
 a

00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:11.220
 bunch

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:11.339
 of

00:24:11.339 --> 00:24:11.579
 times

00:24:11.579 --> 00:24:11.740
 but

00:24:11.740 --> 00:24:11.779
 I've

00:24:11.779 --> 00:24:11.920
 never

00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:12.180
 thought

00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:12.559
 about

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.319
 Galatians

00:24:14.299 --> 00:24:14.480
 this

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:14.759
 way

00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:15.299
 it's

00:24:15.299 --> 00:24:15.420
 a

00:24:15.420 --> 00:24:15.579
 joy

00:24:15.579 --> 00:24:15.799
 to

00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:16.059
 be

00:24:16.059 --> 00:24:16.440
 enlightened

00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:16.700
 by

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:24.519
 says

00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:25.700
 let me

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:26.039
 ask

 you

00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:26.480
 only

00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:26.980
 this

00:24:26.980 --> 00:24:27.480
 did

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:27.599
 you

00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:27.980
 receive

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:28.180
 the

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:28.539

 faith

00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:32.400
 are

00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:32.539
 you

00:24:32.539 --> 00:24:32.740

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:33.220
 foolish

00:24:33.220 --> 00:24:33.700
 having

00:24:33.700 --> 00:24:34.099
 begun

00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:34.299
 by

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:36.359
 perfected

00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:36.539
 by

 flesh

 you

00:24:38.180 --> 00:24:38.519
 suffer

 things

 if

00:24:40.180 --> 00:24:40.440

00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:40.559
 it

00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:40.799
 was

00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:40.980
 in

00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:41.240
 vain

00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:42.079
 does

00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:42.379
 he

00:24:42.379 --> 00:24:42.599
 who

00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:43.119
 supplies

00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:43.359
 the

00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:43.680
 spirit

00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:43.920
 to

00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:44.220
 you

00:24:44.220 --> 00:24:44.759
 and

00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:45.039
 works

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.220
 of

00:24:45.220 --> 00:24:45.619
 miracles

00:24:45.619 --> 00:24:46.139
 among

00:24:46.139 --> 00:24:46.440
 you

00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:46.980
 do

00:24:46.980 --> 00:24:47.259
 so

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:47.460
 by

00:24:47.460 --> 00:24:47.819
 works

00:24:47.819 --> 00:24:47.960
 of

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:48.079
 the

00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:48.379
 law

00:24:48.379 --> 00:24:49.160
 or

00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:49.340
 by

00:24:49.340 --> 00:24:49.800
 hearing

00:24:49.800 --> 00:24:50.519
 with

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:50.920
 faith

00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:51.740
 so

00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:52.100
 I

00:24:52.100 --> 00:24:52.259
 think

00:24:52.259 --> 00:24:52.400
 the

00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:52.640
 reason

00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:52.860
 why

00:24:52.860 --> 00:24:53.040
 I've

00:24:53.040 --> 00:24:53.340
 missed

00:24:53.340 --> 00:24:53.620
 it

00:24:53.620 --> 00:24:54.980
 missed

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:55.400
 this

00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:55.920
 particular

00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:56.420
 point

00:24:56.420 --> 00:24:56.840
 is

00:24:56.840 --> 00:24:57.180
 because

00:24:57.180 --> 00:24:57.420
 a

00:24:57.420 --> 00:24:57.560
 it's

00:24:57.560 --> 00:24:57.660
 a

00:24:57.660 --> 00:24:57.860
 series

00:24:57.860 --> 00:24:58.060
 of

00:24:58.060 --> 00:24:58.519
 questions

00:24:58.519 --> 00:24:59.160
 and

00:24:59.160 --> 00:24:59.300
 b

00:24:59.300 --> 00:24:59.600
 because

00:24:59.600 --> 00:24:59.759
 it

00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:00.060
 doesn't

00:25:00.060 --> 00:25:00.680
 explicitly

00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:01.040
 say

00:25:01.040 --> 00:25:01.420
 hearing

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:01.660
 the

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:01.840
 word

00:25:01.840 --> 00:25:02.019
 of

00:25:02.019 --> 00:25:02.420
 God

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:03.019
 with

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:03.360
 faith

00:25:03.360 --> 00:25:03.600
 but

00:25:03.600 --> 00:25:03.820
 if

00:25:03.820 --> 00:25:03.940
 you

00:25:03.940 --> 00:25:04.120
 look

00:25:04.120 --> 00:25:04.420
 back

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:04.600
 on

00:25:04.600 --> 00:25:04.740
 it

00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:05.200
 that's

00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:05.580
 exactly

00:25:05.580 --> 00:25:05.860
 what

00:25:05.860 --> 00:25:06.000
 the

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:06.460
 implication

00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:07.480
 is

00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:07.740
 we

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:08.019
 hear

00:25:08.019 --> 00:25:08.160
 the

00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:08.320
 word

00:25:08.320 --> 00:25:08.460
 of

00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:08.700
 God

00:25:08.700 --> 00:25:08.880
 with

00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:09.279
 faith

00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:09.420
 and

00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:09.560
 we're

00:25:09.560 --> 00:25:10.040
 saved

00:25:10.040 --> 00:25:10.519
 and

00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:10.640
 then

00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:10.920
 again

00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:11.259
 he's

00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:11.640
 saying

00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:12.420
 we

00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:12.620
 hear

00:25:12.620 --> 00:25:12.779
 the

00:25:12.779 --> 00:25:12.960
 word

00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:19.560
 statements

00:25:19.560 --> 00:25:19.740
 it

00:25:19.740 --> 00:25:20.160
 becomes

00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:20.420
 a

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:20.519
 little

00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:20.680
 bit

00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:20.860
 more

00:25:20.860 --> 00:25:21.220
 clear

00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:21.779
 we

00:25:21.779 --> 00:25:21.920
 are

00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:22.720
 perfected

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:23.160
 and

00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:23.740
 sanctified

00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:23.980
 by

00:25:23.980 --> 00:25:24.460
 God

00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:25.140
 supplying

00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:25.420
 the

00:25:25.420 --> 00:25:25.700
 spirit

00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:26.300
 which

00:25:26.300 --> 00:25:26.680
 comes

00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:26.880
 to

00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:27.180
 us

00:25:27.180 --> 00:25:27.420
 through

00:25:27.420 --> 00:25:27.759
 hearing

00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:27.960
 the

00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:28.140
 word

00:25:28.140 --> 00:25:28.300
 of

00:25:28.300 --> 00:25:28.680
 God

00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:29.420
 with

00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:29.940
 faith

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:31.160
 in

00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:31.259
 the

00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:31.440
 same

00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:31.700
 block

00:25:31.700 --> 00:25:31.820
 of

00:25:31.820 --> 00:25:32.040
 Jesus'

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:32.580
 teaching

00:25:32.580 --> 00:25:32.960
 we read

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:33.460
 earlier

00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:33.759
 which

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:33.960
 said

00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:34.320
 those

00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:34.540
 who

00:25:34.540 --> 00:25:34.800
 love

00:25:34.800 --> 00:25:34.940
 me

00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:35.120
 will

00:25:35.120 --> 00:25:35.320
 obey

00:25:35.320 --> 00:25:35.540
 my

00:25:35.540 --> 00:25:36.000
 commandments

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:36.920
 and

00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:37.019
 I

00:25:37.019 --> 00:25:37.140
 will

00:25:37.140 --> 00:25:37.300
 send

00:25:37.300 --> 00:25:37.480
 my

00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:37.840
 helper

00:25:37.840 --> 00:25:38.640
 describes

00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:38.840
 the

00:25:38.840 --> 00:25:40.140
 spirit's

00:25:40.140 --> 00:25:40.420
 role

00:25:40.420 --> 00:25:40.940
 in

00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:41.180
 this

00:25:41.180 --> 00:25:41.400
 way

00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:41.560
 in

00:25:41.560 --> 00:25:41.759
 John

00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:42.019
 chapter

00:25:42.019 --> 00:25:42.620
 16

00:25:42.620 --> 00:25:42.840
 in

00:25:42.840 --> 00:25:43.040
 verse

00:25:43.040 --> 00:25:43.540
 13

00:25:43.540 --> 00:25:44.200
 he

00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:44.460
 says

00:25:44.460 --> 00:25:44.620
 when

00:25:44.619 --> 00:25:56.779
 the

00:25:56.779 --> 00:25:57.000
 spirit

00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:57.179
 of

00:25:57.179 --> 00:25:57.399
 truth

00:25:57.399 --> 00:25:57.919
 comes

00:25:57.919 --> 00:25:58.459
 he

00:25:58.459 --> 00:25:58.599
 will

00:25:58.599 --> 00:25:58.939
 take

00:25:58.939 --> 00:25:59.119
 what

00:25:59.119 --> 00:25:59.259
 is

00:25:59.259 --> 00:25:59.739
 mine

00:25:59.739 --> 00:26:00.239
 and

00:26:00.239 --> 00:26:00.579
 declare

00:26:00.579 --> 00:26:00.839
 it

00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:01.039
 to

00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:01.319
 you

00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:01.759
 so

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:01.919
 the

00:26:01.919 --> 00:26:02.399
 spirit's

00:26:02.399 --> 00:26:02.759
 role

00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:03.119
 is

00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:03.719
 using

00:26:03.719 --> 00:26:04.019
 the

00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:04.379
 word

00:26:04.379 --> 00:26:04.639
 to

00:26:04.639 --> 00:26:05.059
 exalt

00:26:05.059 --> 00:26:05.599
 Christ

00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:05.919
 by

00:26:05.919 --> 00:26:06.479
 declaring

00:26:06.479 --> 00:26:06.699
 it

00:26:06.699 --> 00:26:06.839
 to

00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:07.199
 us

00:26:07.199 --> 00:26:07.699
 as

00:26:07.699 --> 00:26:07.879
 we

00:26:07.879 --> 00:26:08.319
 receive

00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:08.579
 it

00:26:08.579 --> 00:26:09.319
 through

00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:09.979
 faith

00:26:09.979 --> 00:26:11.039
 so

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:11.439
 we

00:26:11.439 --> 00:26:11.699
 saw

00:26:11.699 --> 00:26:12.119
 earlier

00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:12.359
 that

00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:12.519
 the

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:12.819
 renewal

00:26:12.819 --> 00:26:13.019
 of

00:26:13.019 --> 00:26:13.139
 the

00:26:13.139 --> 00:26:13.500
 mind

00:26:13.500 --> 00:26:14.059
 was

00:26:14.059 --> 00:26:14.679
 passive

00:26:14.679 --> 00:26:15.359
 in

00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:15.659
 some

00:26:15.659 --> 00:26:16.000
 ways

00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:16.159
 that

00:26:16.159 --> 00:26:16.359
 it's

00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:16.659
 something

00:26:16.659 --> 00:26:17.099
 that

00:26:17.099 --> 00:26:17.799
 we

00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:18.039
 are

00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:18.519
 renewed

00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:18.940
 as

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:19.119
 we're

00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:19.460
 doing

00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:19.799
 some

00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:20.240
 type

00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:20.859
 of

00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:21.399
 activity

00:26:21.399 --> 00:26:21.639
 and

00:26:21.639 --> 00:26:21.839
 while

00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:22.139
 God

00:26:22.139 --> 00:26:22.299
 is

00:26:22.299 --> 00:26:22.419
 the

00:26:22.419 --> 00:26:22.639
 one

00:26:22.639 --> 00:26:23.259
 renewing

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:23.519
 and

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:24.099
 transforming

00:26:24.099 --> 00:26:24.899
 we

00:26:24.899 --> 00:26:25.059
 are

00:26:25.059 --> 00:26:25.179
 the

00:26:25.179 --> 00:26:25.559
 ones

00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:25.759
 who

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:26.019
 draw

00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:26.399
 near

00:26:26.399 --> 00:26:26.639
 to

00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:14.899
 shows

00:27:14.899 --> 00:27:15.240
 us

00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:16.039
 what

00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:16.279
 will

00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:16.599
 lead

00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:16.779
 to

00:27:16.779 --> 00:27:17.200
 joy

 and

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:17.980
 flourishing

00:27:17.980 --> 00:27:18.559
 in

 our

00:27:18.700 --> 00:27:19.220
 lives

00:27:19.220 --> 00:27:19.980
 the

 of

 everyday

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:21.359
 life

00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:21.519
 are

00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:22.240
 overshadowed

00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:22.379
 with

00:27:22.379 --> 00:27:22.500
 a

00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:22.679
 bigger

00:27:22.679 --> 00:27:23.220
 perspective

00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:24.000
 where

00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:24.259
 God

00:27:24.259 --> 00:27:24.399
 is

00:27:24.399 --> 00:27:24.539
 in

00:27:24.539 --> 00:27:25.000
 control

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:25.299
 and

00:27:25.299 --> 00:27:25.480
 not

00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:25.839
 us

00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:26.519
 he's

00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:26.859
 working

00:27:26.859 --> 00:27:27.079
 for

00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:27.220
 the

00:27:27.220 --> 00:27:27.500
 purity

00:27:27.500 --> 00:27:27.679
 of

00:27:27.679 --> 00:27:27.799
 his

00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:28.139
 people

00:27:28.139 --> 00:27:28.339
 for

00:27:28.339 --> 00:27:28.480
 the

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:28.679
 sake

00:27:28.679 --> 00:27:28.859
 of

00:27:28.859 --> 00:27:29.099
 his

00:27:29.099 --> 00:27:29.460
 name

00:27:29.460 --> 00:27:30.079
 which

00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:30.419
 isn't

00:27:30.419 --> 00:27:30.779
 always

00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:31.339
 convenient

00:27:31.339 --> 00:27:31.940
 or

00:27:31.940 --> 00:27:32.299
 easy

00:27:32.299 --> 00:27:32.679
 for

00:27:32.679 --> 00:27:33.119
 us

00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:34.419
 now

00:27:34.419 --> 00:27:34.539
 there

00:27:34.539 --> 00:27:34.639
 are

00:27:34.639 --> 00:27:34.779
 not

00:27:34.779 --> 00:27:34.960
 many

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:35.279
 things

00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:35.399
 in

00:27:35.399 --> 00:27:35.519
 the

00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:35.799
 Christian

00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:36.179
 life

00:27:36.179 --> 00:27:36.659
 that

00:27:36.659 --> 00:27:36.779
 are

00:27:36.779 --> 00:27:37.519
 formulaic

00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:37.940
 in

00:27:37.940 --> 00:27:38.319
 nature

00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:38.659
 but

00:27:38.659 --> 00:27:38.799
 in

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:39.059
 some

00:27:39.059 --> 00:27:39.439
 ways

00:27:39.439 --> 00:27:39.980
 genuine

00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:40.500
 heartfelt

00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:41.019
 obedience

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:42.079
 is

00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:42.519
 doesn't

00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:42.639
 mean

00:27:42.639 --> 00:27:42.859
 it's

00:27:42.859 --> 00:27:43.259
 easy

00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:43.839
 but

00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:43.980
 it

00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:44.279
 tells

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:44.480
 us

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:44.679
 what

00:27:44.679 --> 00:27:44.799
 we

00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:44.960
 need

00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:45.099
 to

00:27:45.099 --> 00:27:45.399
 do

00:27:45.399 --> 00:27:46.079
 we

00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:46.319
 know

00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:46.639
 God

00:27:46.639 --> 00:27:47.000
 always

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:47.480
 empowers

00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:47.659
 what

00:27:47.659 --> 00:27:47.779
 he

00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:48.179
 commands

00:27:48.179 --> 00:27:48.859
 and

00:27:48.859 --> 00:27:48.980
 I

00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:49.179
 believe

00:27:49.179 --> 00:27:49.319
 that

00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:49.439
 what

00:27:49.439 --> 00:27:49.559
 we

00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:49.619
 have

00:27:49.619 --> 00:27:49.839
 spoken

00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:50.039
 of

00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:50.319
 today

00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:50.519
 is

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:50.939
 largely

00:27:50.939 --> 00:27:51.139
 the

00:27:51.139 --> 00:27:51.639
 methodology

00:27:51.639 --> 00:27:51.919
 he

00:27:51.919 --> 00:27:52.480
 expects

00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:52.720
 for

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.000
 us

00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:53.220
 to

00:27:53.220 --> 00:27:53.779
 utilize

00:27:53.779 --> 00:27:54.619
 so

00:27:54.619 --> 00:27:54.779
 let's

00:27:54.779 --> 00:27:54.899
 look

00:27:54.899 --> 00:27:55.019
 at

00:27:55.019 --> 00:27:55.179
 some

00:27:55.179 --> 00:27:55.460
 simple

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:55.740
 points

00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:55.859
 of

00:27:55.859 --> 00:27:56.379
 application

00:27:56.379 --> 00:27:56.659
 to

00:27:56.659 --> 00:27:56.899
 help

00:27:56.899 --> 00:27:57.220
 us

00:27:57.220 --> 00:27:57.779
 to

00:27:57.779 --> 00:27:57.939
 know

00:27:57.939 --> 00:27:58.099
 what

00:27:58.099 --> 00:27:58.259
 to

00:27:58.259 --> 00:27:58.539
 do

00:27:58.539 --> 00:27:58.759
 so

00:27:58.759 --> 00:27:58.859
 that

00:27:58.859 --> 00:27:58.980
 we

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.139
 can

00:27:59.139 --> 00:27:59.819
 desire

00:27:59.819 --> 00:28:01.099
 obedience

00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:15.139
 we

00:28:24.419 --> 00:28:25.379
 we

 memorize

 specific

 reflect

 on

 again

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:34.340
 we

00:28:34.340 --> 00:28:34.480
 need

 to

00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:37.740
 secondly

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:38.120
 we

00:28:38.120 --> 00:28:38.340
 should

 thirdly

00:28:59.940 --> 00:29:00.080
 we

00:29:00.080 --> 00:29:00.259

00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:34.640
 this

00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:34.960
 type

00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:35.100
 of

00:29:35.100 --> 00:29:35.560
 approach

00:29:35.560 --> 00:29:35.820
 to

00:29:35.820 --> 00:29:35.960
 be

00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:36.480
 changed

00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:36.680
 and

00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:36.780
 to

00:29:36.780 --> 00:29:36.920
 be

00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:37.340
 renewed

00:29:37.340 --> 00:29:38.019
 it

00:29:38.019 --> 00:29:38.280
 takes

00:29:38.280 --> 00:29:38.519
 hard

00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:38.940
 work

00:29:38.940 --> 00:29:39.300
 it

00:29:39.300 --> 00:29:39.519
 takes

00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:40.100
 time

00:29:40.100 --> 00:29:40.380
 it

00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:40.620
 takes

00:29:40.620 --> 00:29:41.320
 consistency

00:29:41.320 --> 00:29:42.019
 it

00:29:42.019 --> 00:29:42.280
 takes

00:29:42.280 --> 00:29:43.220
 intentionality

00:29:43.220 --> 00:29:44.100
 just

00:29:44.100 --> 00:29:44.340
 like

00:29:44.340 --> 00:29:44.660
 everything

00:29:44.660 --> 00:29:44.960
 else

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:45.140
 that

00:29:45.140 --> 00:29:45.680
 satisfying

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:45.780
!

00:29:46.100 --> 00:29:46.100


00:29:46.100 --> 00:29:46.500
 life

00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:47.200
 but

00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:47.380
 it

00:29:47.380 --> 00:29:47.700
 will

00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:48.340
 indeed

00:29:48.339 --> 00:29:48.699
 bear

00:29:48.699 --> 00:29:49.000
 much

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:49.339
 fruit

00:29:49.339 --> 00:29:50.819
 and

00:29:50.819 --> 00:29:51.279
 lastly

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.759
 fourthly

00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:53.079
 we need

00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:53.339
 to have

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:53.500
 an

00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:53.859
 attitude

00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:54.139
 of

00:29:54.139 --> 00:29:54.799
 preparation

00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:55.279
 and

00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:55.559
 not

00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:55.699
 an

00:29:55.699 --> 00:29:56.059
 attitude

00:29:56.059 --> 00:29:56.740
 of

00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:57.399
 reaction

00:29:57.399 --> 00:29:57.799
 so

00:29:57.799 --> 00:29:58.059
 have

00:29:58.059 --> 00:29:58.259
 an

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:58.679
 attitude

00:29:58.679 --> 00:29:58.980
 of

00:29:58.980 --> 00:29:59.579
 preparation

00:29:59.579 --> 00:30:00.679
 not

00:30:00.679 --> 00:30:01.059
 of

00:30:01.059 --> 00:30:01.720
 reaction

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:02.299
 if

00:30:02.299 --> 00:30:02.399
 we

00:30:02.399 --> 00:30:02.679
 wait

00:30:02.679 --> 00:30:02.939
 until

00:30:02.939 --> 00:30:03.159
 we're

00:30:03.159 --> 00:30:03.259
 in

00:30:03.259 --> 00:30:03.399
 the

00:30:03.399 --> 00:30:03.559
 middle

00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:03.720
 of

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:03.819
 the

00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:04.079
 battle

00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:04.339
 to

00:30:04.339 --> 00:30:04.559
 put

00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:04.879
 on

00:30:04.879 --> 00:30:05.099
 our

00:30:05.099 --> 00:30:05.480
 armor

00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:06.159
 we're

00:30:06.159 --> 00:30:06.500
 likely

00:30:06.500 --> 00:30:06.799
 to

00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:07.259
 lose

00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:07.500
 the

00:30:07.500 --> 00:30:07.819
 battle

00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:08.319
 we

00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:08.519
 have

00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:08.619
 to

00:30:08.619 --> 00:30:08.759
 be

00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:09.220
 prepared

00:30:09.220 --> 00:30:09.519
 for

00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:09.639
 the

00:30:09.639 --> 00:30:09.879
 battle

00:30:09.879 --> 00:30:10.039
 that

00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:10.199
 we

00:30:10.199 --> 00:30:10.500
 know

00:30:10.500 --> 00:30:10.639
 is

00:30:10.639 --> 00:30:10.779
 going

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:10.839
 to

00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:11.119
 be

00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:11.599
 at

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:11.959
 hand

00:30:11.959 --> 00:30:12.159
 we

00:30:12.159 --> 00:30:12.399
 need

00:30:12.399 --> 00:30:12.959
 daily

00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:14.939
 renewal

00:30:14.939 --> 00:30:15.359

00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:15.480
 we

00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:15.599
 are

00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:15.759
 to

00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:16.139
 prepare

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:19.939
 may

00:30:19.939 --> 00:30:20.179
 we
