00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.820
 I haven't got a page number if you're using a red covered Bible, Ephesians chapter 2 and verses 1 to 10.

00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:13.939
 And that's on page 1174.

00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.359
 Ephesians 2 verses 1 to 10.

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:31.299
 So I'm going to read and then pray and then ask Paul to come and speak.

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.879
 Page 1174, Ephesians 2, 1 to 10.

00:00:43.379 --> 00:00:49.179
 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,

00:00:49.179 --> 00:00:53.979
 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world

00:00:53.979 --> 00:01:00.600
 and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

00:01:01.539 --> 00:01:05.519
 All of us also lived among them at one time,

00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:11.640
 gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts.

00:01:12.299 --> 00:01:16.240
 Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.

00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.399
 But because of his great love for us,

00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:23.419
 God, who is rich in mercy,

00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.039
 made us alive with Christ,

00:01:26.379 --> 00:01:29.159
 even when we were dead in transgressions.

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.840
 It is by grace you have been saved.

00:01:33.659 --> 00:01:36.500
 And God raised us up with Christ

00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:41.019
 and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

00:01:41.019 --> 00:01:46.799
 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.959
 expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.939
 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith,

00:01:56.939 --> 00:01:58.579
 and this not from yourselves.

00:01:58.939 --> 00:02:00.420
 It is the gift of God,

00:02:00.679 --> 00:02:01.780
 not by works,

00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:04.060
 so that no one can boast.

00:02:04.060 --> 00:02:06.579
 For we are God's workmanship,

00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:09.360
 created in Christ Jesus to do good works,

00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.680
 which God prepared in advance for us to do.

00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:14.680
 Let's pray.

00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:22.300
 Our Father God,

00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:23.700
 we thank you for the grace

00:02:23.700 --> 00:02:26.460
 of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.819
 And we thank you for the grace that comes to us

00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:31.780
 through your word,

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:33.420
 which helps us to understand

00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:35.060
 who Jesus is.

00:02:36.659 --> 00:02:39.080
 And we pray that your spirit,

00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:40.960
 your presence,

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.819
 would be at work amongst us,

00:02:43.819 --> 00:02:45.879
 as we hear your word.

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.219
 We pray that it would cause us

00:02:49.219 --> 00:02:50.879
 to love you more.

00:02:51.959 --> 00:02:55.060
 It would cause us to change the things in our lives

00:02:55.060 --> 00:02:58.500
 so that we are aligned to your ways and your will.

00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.240
 And we pray that it would motivate us

00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.060
 to live lives of worship,

00:03:05.699 --> 00:03:08.039
 serving you where we go.

00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:10.400
 We thank you for Paul.

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.379
 We thank you for his ministry and work in Mayo.

00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.879
 We pray your blessing upon the churches there,

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:20.860
 even today as they meet.

00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.599
 We pray that you would cause that good news

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.719
 to take effect in people's lives

00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.219
 and to bring people to faith.

00:03:30.219 --> 00:03:33.780
 And we pray that now through him

00:03:33.780 --> 00:03:36.180
 you may encourage us.

00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.000
 In Jesus' name.

00:03:38.579 --> 00:03:39.000
 Amen.

00:03:40.099 --> 00:03:41.139
 Porch, thanks very much.

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:41.680
 Thank you.

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:42.020
 Thank you.

00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:51.860
 Well, thanks very much, Johnny,

00:03:51.939 --> 00:03:53.400
 and thanks very much for having us.

00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.580
 Listen, this morning what I want to do

00:03:55.580 --> 00:03:58.140
 is first of all start with a story

00:03:58.140 --> 00:03:59.099
 from the Old Testament.

00:04:01.099 --> 00:04:02.780
 Some of you will be very familiar with it

00:04:02.780 --> 00:04:04.460
 and you might even know where I'm going with it.

00:04:05.780 --> 00:04:08.200
 But the background of the story

00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:09.659
 is that the city of Samaria

00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:12.240
 was surrounded, besieged,

00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:13.599
 by the Syrians.

00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:15.900
 No one was in,

00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:17.439
 nobody went out.

00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.699
 And as a result,

00:04:19.899 --> 00:04:22.279
 there was eventually a severe famine

00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:23.800
 in that city.

00:04:24.740 --> 00:04:26.060
 So severe was the famine

00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:27.660
 that some people had even resorted

00:04:27.660 --> 00:04:29.139
 to cannibalism.

00:04:29.779 --> 00:04:31.319
 And two women actually contracted

00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.420
 that they would boil their children

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:35.079
 and eat them.

00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:40.300
 That's how severe the famine had become.

00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:43.540
 In chapter 7 opens with Elisha,

00:04:43.860 --> 00:04:44.319
 the prophet,

00:04:44.659 --> 00:04:46.159
 saying that everything was going to

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.640
 dramatically change the following day.

00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:49.900
 And that there would be

00:04:49.900 --> 00:04:51.780
 an abundant provision of food

00:04:51.780 --> 00:04:52.860
 and of drink

00:04:52.860 --> 00:04:53.740
 and, you know,

00:04:53.780 --> 00:04:54.620
 there would be freedom.

00:04:54.700 --> 00:04:55.160
 In other words,

00:04:55.200 --> 00:04:57.000
 that the Syrians would be gone.

00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.980
 Well, verse 4 introduces us

00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:02.440
 to the characters

00:05:02.440 --> 00:05:04.000
 that we're going to concentrate

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.520
 our thinking on this morning.

00:05:06.020 --> 00:05:07.540
 Four leprous men

00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:10.120
 were sitting outside the city walls

00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:11.360
 as it were in a kind of a

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:12.480
 no man's land.

00:05:13.460 --> 00:05:15.040
 And they were sitting against the wall

00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:16.319
 in the hope

00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.140
 that food would be thrown

00:05:18.140 --> 00:05:19.400
 over the wall to them.

00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:20.840
 But of course,

00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:21.980
 now because of the famine,

00:05:22.340 --> 00:05:23.439
 that hope was gone

00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.480
 and there was going to be no scraps

00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.020
 thrown across the wall

00:05:27.020 --> 00:05:27.980
 to them.

00:05:28.780 --> 00:05:30.200
 So they were in dire straits.

00:05:31.820 --> 00:05:32.500
 And then

00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:34.580
 a desperate logic

00:05:34.580 --> 00:05:36.740
 entered into their thinking.

00:05:36.740 --> 00:05:39.879
 If you like a logic of

00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:41.240
 desperation,

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:43.300
 I'll just read for you

00:05:43.300 --> 00:05:44.560
 the end of verse 3

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:45.620
 and then verse 4.

00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:48.500
 Why are we sitting here

00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:49.340
 until we die?

00:05:49.460 --> 00:05:50.220
 One of them said.

00:05:50.939 --> 00:05:52.379
 If we say that we will

00:05:52.379 --> 00:05:53.079
 enter the city,

00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:54.579
 the famine is in the city

00:05:54.579 --> 00:05:55.400
 and we shall die.

00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:57.620
 If we sit here,

00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.019
 we will die also.

00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:01.280
 Now therefore,

00:06:01.660 --> 00:06:01.900
 come,

00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:02.680
 let us surrender

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.340
 to the army of the Syrians.

00:06:04.339 --> 00:06:06.199
 If they keep us alive,

00:06:06.299 --> 00:06:06.919
 we shall live.

00:06:07.379 --> 00:06:08.279
 If they kill us,

00:06:08.859 --> 00:06:09.759
 we shall only die.

00:06:10.699 --> 00:06:11.739
 So you can see the kind of

00:06:11.739 --> 00:06:12.939
 desperation.

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.399
 I don't know whether you

00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:16.739
 know much about famine.

00:06:16.859 --> 00:06:17.239
 We all

00:06:17.239 --> 00:06:17.620
 here

00:06:17.620 --> 00:06:19.500
 probably have never really

00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:20.620
 experienced hunger

00:06:20.620 --> 00:06:21.739
 at that level.

00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:23.579
 Now these men were probably

00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:24.419
 at this stage

00:06:24.419 --> 00:06:25.899
 coming out in sores

00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:27.120
 other than the leprosy

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:27.579
 that they were

00:06:27.579 --> 00:06:28.679
 suffering from.

00:06:29.019 --> 00:06:29.799
 Their mouths

00:06:29.799 --> 00:06:30.679
 would have been dry.

00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:31.459
 Their tongues

00:06:31.459 --> 00:06:32.419
 would have been swelling.

00:06:32.420 --> 00:06:33.780
 They would have been in a

00:06:33.780 --> 00:06:34.379
 pretty,

00:06:34.780 --> 00:06:35.780
 pretty bad state.

00:06:35.860 --> 00:06:36.759
 So they headed off

00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.319
 to the besiegers

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:40.199
 camp.

00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:41.900
 The camp of the Syrians.

00:06:42.660 --> 00:06:43.920
 But they weren't prepared

00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.860
 for what they were going

00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:46.319
 to see.

00:06:47.780 --> 00:06:48.379
 And they were

00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:49.600
 absolutely astonished

00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:50.860
 with the surprise

00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:51.860
 that came their way.

00:06:52.280 --> 00:06:52.439
 See,

00:06:52.520 --> 00:06:53.000
 the Lord,

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.160
 to fulfil

00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:56.400
 Elisha's prophecy,

00:06:57.060 --> 00:06:58.060
 the Lord had

00:06:58.060 --> 00:06:59.639
 caused the Syrians

00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:00.139
 to hear

00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:01.020
 the noise

00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:02.000
 of a great army.

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:04.000
 And they kind of

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:04.899
 supposed

00:07:04.899 --> 00:07:05.959
 that the

00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:07.639
 Israelites

00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:08.479
 had hired

00:07:08.479 --> 00:07:09.240
 the Hittites

00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.039
 and the Egyptians

00:07:10.039 --> 00:07:11.120
 to come against them

00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:12.359
 and release

00:07:12.359 --> 00:07:12.899
 the city.

00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:14.819
 So the Syrians

00:07:14.819 --> 00:07:15.339
 fled

00:07:15.339 --> 00:07:17.479
 even though

00:07:17.479 --> 00:07:18.219
 there was no actual

00:07:18.219 --> 00:07:19.139
 army there at all.

00:07:20.799 --> 00:07:21.659
 The Syrians

00:07:21.659 --> 00:07:22.159
 panicked

00:07:22.159 --> 00:07:22.680
 and they fled

00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:23.919
 and in such haste

00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:24.539
 did they run

00:07:24.539 --> 00:07:25.299
 from the place

00:07:25.299 --> 00:07:26.159
 that they left

00:07:26.159 --> 00:07:27.060
 behind everything.

00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:27.979
 Food,

00:07:28.659 --> 00:07:29.039
 drink,

00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:30.060
 gold,

00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:30.879
 silver,

00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:32.319
 all their military

00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:32.860
 equipment,

00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:33.960
 they left the lot

00:07:33.960 --> 00:07:34.460
 and ran.

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:37.600
 These leprous,

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:38.480
 four leprous men,

00:07:38.520 --> 00:07:39.040
 you can imagine

00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:39.700
 what it was like.

00:07:39.819 --> 00:07:40.439
 They walked into

00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:41.860
 the camp of the Syrians

00:07:41.860 --> 00:07:43.660
 and everything

00:07:43.660 --> 00:07:44.320
 that they ever

00:07:44.320 --> 00:07:45.180
 dreamed of

00:07:45.180 --> 00:07:46.460
 was just lying

00:07:46.460 --> 00:07:47.060
 there waiting

00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:47.480
 for them.

00:07:47.960 --> 00:07:48.360
 Food,

00:07:48.520 --> 00:07:49.000
 all they would

00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:49.660
 ever want,

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:51.160
 clothing,

00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:52.500
 drink,

00:07:54.080 --> 00:07:55.300
 gold and silver,

00:07:55.520 --> 00:07:56.340
 so they had a party.

00:07:56.339 --> 00:07:58.339
 You can imagine

00:07:58.339 --> 00:07:58.839
 what it would have

00:07:58.839 --> 00:07:59.219
 been like.

00:07:59.299 --> 00:08:00.060
 It probably wasn't

00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:00.819
 very good for them

00:08:00.819 --> 00:08:01.619
 because it's not good

00:08:01.619 --> 00:08:02.899
 to tuck into a pint

00:08:02.899 --> 00:08:03.919
 of food after a long

00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:04.919
 hunger of that nature

00:08:04.919 --> 00:08:06.419
 but they tucked in

00:08:06.419 --> 00:08:06.879
 nonetheless

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.500
 and then they took

00:08:08.500 --> 00:08:09.259
 some of the gold

00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:09.839
 and the silver

00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:10.379
 and they hid it

00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:11.299
 away for themselves.

00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:14.500
 But then a realization

00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:15.419
 dawned on them.

00:08:17.719 --> 00:08:18.819
 Listen to verse 9.

00:08:19.539 --> 00:08:20.339
 And then they said

00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:21.059
 one to another,

00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:22.139
 we're not doing

00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:22.819
 right here.

00:08:23.620 --> 00:08:24.599
 This day is a day

00:08:24.599 --> 00:08:25.620
 of good news

00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:27.420
 and we remain silent.

00:08:28.139 --> 00:08:28.800
 If we wait

00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:29.759
 till morning light

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:30.800
 some punishment

00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:31.759
 will come upon us.

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:32.759
 Now therefore come

00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:33.480
 let us go

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.000
 and tell the king's

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:35.480
 household.

00:08:37.299 --> 00:08:38.139
 I want to use

00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:38.759
 this story

00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.080
 this morning

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:41.259
 as a kind of

00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:41.759
 a parable

00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:42.519
 to help us

00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:43.960
 as we unpack

00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.560
 Ephesians chapter 2

00:08:45.560 --> 00:08:46.320
 which Johnny read

00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:47.539
 for us earlier.

00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:49.399
 Ephesians 2

00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:50.240
 verses 1 to 3

00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:50.779
 says this,

00:08:51.180 --> 00:08:52.200
 you he made alive

00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:53.120
 while speaking

00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:53.740
 about us

00:08:53.740 --> 00:08:54.399
 this morning

00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.699
 who were dead

00:08:55.699 --> 00:08:56.579
 in trespasses

00:08:56.579 --> 00:08:57.179
 and sins

00:08:57.179 --> 00:08:57.980
 in which you

00:08:57.980 --> 00:08:58.759
 once walked

00:08:58.759 --> 00:08:59.399
 according to

00:08:59.399 --> 00:08:59.819
 the course

00:08:59.819 --> 00:09:00.480
 of this world

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:01.519
 according to

00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:01.879
 the prince

00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:02.319
 of the power

00:09:02.319 --> 00:09:02.840
 of the air

00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:03.579
 the spirit

00:09:03.579 --> 00:09:04.399
 that now works

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:04.980
 in the sons

00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:05.819
 of disobedience

00:09:05.819 --> 00:09:06.579
 among whom

00:09:06.579 --> 00:09:07.100
 you also

00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:07.980
 once conducted

00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:08.439
 ourselves

00:09:08.439 --> 00:09:09.299
 in the lusts

00:09:09.299 --> 00:09:09.959
 of our flesh

00:09:09.959 --> 00:09:11.279
 fulfilling the

00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:12.019
 desires of the

00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:12.720
 flesh and of the

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.059
 mind

00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:13.939
 and were by

00:09:13.939 --> 00:09:14.379
 nature

00:09:14.379 --> 00:09:16.379
 children of wrath

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:18.460
 just as the others.

00:09:18.460 --> 00:09:20.900
 these verses

00:09:20.900 --> 00:09:23.120
 describe our

00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:23.660
 state

00:09:23.660 --> 00:09:24.960
 yours and mine

00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.120
 before conversion

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.300
 like the people

00:09:29.300 --> 00:09:30.120
 in the besieged

00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:30.600
 city

00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.379
 we were without

00:09:32.379 --> 00:09:32.960
 Christ

00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:34.180
 held

00:09:34.180 --> 00:09:34.920
 trapped

00:09:34.920 --> 00:09:35.759
 hopeless

00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.000
 in bondage

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:38.639
 divide

00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:40.500
 of any

00:09:40.500 --> 00:09:40.980
 true

00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:42.320
 spirituality

00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:43.780
 for some

00:09:43.780 --> 00:09:44.460
 ways that

00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:46.000
 Paul describes

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:46.700
 our condition

00:09:46.700 --> 00:09:47.920
 that is very

00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:48.620
 very graphic

00:09:48.620 --> 00:09:49.660
 he says we

00:09:49.660 --> 00:09:50.680
 were dead

00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:52.580
 in trespasses

00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:53.440
 and sins

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:54.940
 as a result

00:09:54.940 --> 00:09:55.600
 of the fall

00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:56.900
 each one of us

00:09:56.900 --> 00:09:58.140
 were dead

00:09:58.140 --> 00:09:59.000
 spiritually

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.520
 lost

00:10:00.520 --> 00:10:01.640
 and under

00:10:01.640 --> 00:10:02.340
 the dominion

00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:02.860
 of sin

00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:03.680
 sin was in

00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:04.300
 control

00:10:04.300 --> 00:10:04.840
 if you like

00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:05.520
 sin

00:10:05.520 --> 00:10:07.060
 took us

00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:08.359
 and controlled

00:10:08.359 --> 00:10:09.099
 us

00:10:09.099 --> 00:10:11.079
 the state

00:10:11.079 --> 00:10:12.079
 of alienation

00:10:12.079 --> 00:10:12.959
 and separation

00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:14.099
 was there

00:10:14.099 --> 00:10:14.679
 between us

00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:15.259
 and God

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:16.899
 and we were

00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:17.239
 under

00:10:17.239 --> 00:10:18.919
 his just

00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.559
 and holy

00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:21.039
 wrath

00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.039
 listen to the way

00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.000
 Ephesians 2

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:24.439
 and 12

00:10:24.439 --> 00:10:24.979
 puts it

00:10:24.979 --> 00:10:26.439
 it says at that

00:10:26.439 --> 00:10:27.199
 time you were

00:10:27.199 --> 00:10:28.459
 without Christ

00:10:28.459 --> 00:10:30.839
 being aliens

00:10:30.839 --> 00:10:31.419
 from the

00:10:31.419 --> 00:10:31.979
 commonwealth

00:10:31.979 --> 00:10:32.539
 of Israel

00:10:32.539 --> 00:10:33.739
 strangers

00:10:33.739 --> 00:10:34.239
 from the

00:10:34.239 --> 00:10:34.599
 covenant

00:10:34.599 --> 00:10:35.239
 of promise

00:10:35.239 --> 00:10:36.359
 having no

00:10:36.359 --> 00:10:36.839
 hope

00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:38.340
 and without

00:10:38.340 --> 00:10:38.940
 God in the

00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:39.379
 world

00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:41.540
 you see

00:10:41.540 --> 00:10:42.080
 God made

00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:42.340
 us

00:10:42.340 --> 00:10:44.320
 for the

00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:44.800
 purpose

00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:47.240
 of delighting

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:47.540
 in his

00:10:47.540 --> 00:10:47.940
 glory

00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:49.519
 that's

00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:50.379
 where we

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:50.740
 should have

00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:51.000
 been

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.440
 we delight

00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:52.800
 in his

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:53.180
 glory

00:10:53.180 --> 00:10:53.580
 when we

00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:54.139
 rejoice

00:10:54.139 --> 00:10:54.660
 in his

00:10:54.660 --> 00:10:55.220
 character

00:10:55.220 --> 00:10:56.899
 believing

00:10:56.899 --> 00:10:57.740
 his promises

00:10:57.740 --> 00:10:59.240
 or as the

00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.060
 Westminster

00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:01.900
 catechism

00:11:01.900 --> 00:11:02.400
 put it

00:11:02.400 --> 00:11:03.240
 what is

00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:03.620
 man's

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:04.040
 purpose

00:11:04.040 --> 00:11:04.680
 what's

00:11:04.680 --> 00:11:05.200
 man's

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:05.540
 chief

00:11:05.540 --> 00:11:05.980
 end

00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:06.539
 it's

00:11:06.539 --> 00:11:07.360
 to glorify

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.000
 God

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:09.379
 and to

00:11:09.379 --> 00:11:10.100
 enjoy him

00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:10.539
 forever

00:11:10.539 --> 00:11:13.379
 but man

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:13.820
 and sin

00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:14.180
 is not

00:11:14.180 --> 00:11:14.519
 there

00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:15.200
 we're not

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:15.440
 in that

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:15.779
 place

00:11:15.779 --> 00:11:16.840
 where we

00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:17.700
 glorify

00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:18.320
 God

00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:19.879
 instead

00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:20.500
 we were

00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:20.899
 seeking

00:11:20.899 --> 00:11:22.019
 to replace

00:11:22.019 --> 00:11:22.920
 that joy

00:11:22.920 --> 00:11:23.680
 that can

00:11:23.680 --> 00:11:24.460
 only come

00:11:24.460 --> 00:11:25.100
 from knowing

00:11:25.100 --> 00:11:25.639
 God

00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:26.480
 to replace

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:27.200
 that joy

00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:28.240
 by seeking

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.460
 joy in

00:11:30.460 --> 00:11:30.899
 every other

00:11:30.899 --> 00:11:31.440
 conceivable

00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:32.000
 place

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.260
 some

00:11:34.260 --> 00:11:34.900
 pursued

00:11:34.900 --> 00:11:35.900
 some of

00:11:35.900 --> 00:11:36.040
 us

00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:36.460
 pursued

00:11:36.460 --> 00:11:36.940
 outright

00:11:36.940 --> 00:11:37.380
 sin

00:11:37.380 --> 00:11:38.660
 others

00:11:38.660 --> 00:11:39.140
 searched

00:11:39.140 --> 00:11:39.420
 for

00:11:39.420 --> 00:11:39.760
 meaning

00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:40.080
 and

00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:40.740
 fulfillment

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:41.120
 in

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:41.680
 self

00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:42.180
 righteousness

00:11:42.180 --> 00:11:43.540
 so whatever

00:11:43.540 --> 00:11:44.140
 end of the

00:11:44.140 --> 00:11:44.580
 spectrum

00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:45.740
 we were on

00:11:45.740 --> 00:11:46.180
 whether you

00:11:46.180 --> 00:11:46.760
 were on that

00:11:46.760 --> 00:11:47.820
 pathway which

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:48.280
 was just

00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:49.020
 you know

00:11:49.020 --> 00:11:50.360
 laced with

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.820
 outright sin

00:11:51.820 --> 00:11:52.340
 or whether you

00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:52.980
 were on the

00:11:52.980 --> 00:11:53.900
 so called

00:11:53.900 --> 00:11:55.340
 clean side

00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:55.900
 of the road

00:11:55.900 --> 00:11:56.500
 where you

00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:57.160
 were involved

00:11:57.160 --> 00:11:57.780
 in self

00:11:57.780 --> 00:11:58.360
 righteousness

00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.200
 whichever way

00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:01.000
 we were going

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.000
 we were away

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:02.779
 from God

00:12:02.779 --> 00:12:04.779
 and we were

00:12:04.779 --> 00:12:05.480
 in darkness

00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:07.220
 and it was

00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:07.639
 actually

00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:08.360
 idolatry

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.580
 and in this

00:12:10.580 --> 00:12:11.300
 foreign state

00:12:11.300 --> 00:12:11.659
 there were

00:12:11.659 --> 00:12:12.980
 three influences

00:12:12.980 --> 00:12:14.519
 three things

00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:14.960
 that were

00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:15.740
 if you like

00:12:15.740 --> 00:12:16.800
 playing on

00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:17.800
 our lives

00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:19.139
 three influences

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:19.700
 that were at

00:12:19.700 --> 00:12:20.340
 work in our

00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:21.060
 lives bringing

00:12:21.060 --> 00:12:21.960
 us further

00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:22.500
 and further

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:22.960
 into the

00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:23.500
 bondage of

00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:23.759
 sin

00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:25.700
 and Paul

00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:26.180
 tells us

00:12:26.180 --> 00:12:26.460
 that this

00:12:26.460 --> 00:12:27.039
 bondage is

00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:27.500
 made up of

00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:27.940
 three

00:12:27.940 --> 00:12:28.920
 hostile

00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:29.700
 forces

00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:30.360
 if you like

00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:31.200
 at work

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:31.480
 in our

00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:31.900
 lives

00:12:31.900 --> 00:12:32.480
 the world

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:33.680
 the devil

00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:34.840
 and the

00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:35.320
 flesh

00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:36.680
 in 1 John

00:12:36.680 --> 00:12:38.060
 he juggles

00:12:38.060 --> 00:12:38.960
 the order

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:39.520
 and he puts

00:12:39.520 --> 00:12:39.960
 down the

00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:40.420
 world

00:12:40.420 --> 00:12:41.520
 the flesh

00:12:41.520 --> 00:12:42.300
 and the

00:12:42.300 --> 00:12:42.600
 devil

00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:43.080
 it's the

00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:43.820
 same thing

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:45.740
 in its

00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:46.260
 effect

00:12:46.260 --> 00:12:48.400
 first of all

00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:48.760
 we have the

00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:49.560
 world system

00:12:49.560 --> 00:12:52.200
 he talks

00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:52.540
 he says

00:12:52.540 --> 00:12:53.040
 in which you

00:12:53.040 --> 00:12:53.740
 once walked

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:54.780
 according to

00:12:54.780 --> 00:12:55.440
 the course

00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:56.180
 of this

00:12:56.180 --> 00:12:56.720
 world

00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.560
 world

00:12:58.560 --> 00:12:58.580
 to walk

00:12:58.580 --> 00:12:58.940
 there

00:12:58.940 --> 00:12:59.100
 is

00:12:59.100 --> 00:12:59.259
 the

00:12:59.259 --> 00:12:59.759
 world

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:00.259
 world

00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:01.460
 and the

00:13:01.460 --> 00:13:01.860
 world

00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:03.160
 and the

00:13:03.160 --> 00:13:03.700
 world

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:04.540
 the

00:13:04.540 --> 00:13:05.080
 world

00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:05.100
 the whole

00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:05.399
 thing

00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:05.779
 was being

00:13:05.779 --> 00:13:06.639
 dictated

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:07.300
 to us

00:13:07.300 --> 00:13:08.060
 by the

00:13:08.060 --> 00:13:08.340
 world

00:13:08.340 --> 00:13:08.820
 system

00:13:08.820 --> 00:13:09.460
 we were

00:13:09.460 --> 00:13:09.720
 being

00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:10.740
 moulded

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:11.540
 by what

00:13:11.540 --> 00:13:12.040
 the world

00:13:12.040 --> 00:13:12.700
 required

00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:13.580
 off of us

00:13:13.580 --> 00:13:15.020
 the course

00:13:15.020 --> 00:13:15.340
 of this

00:13:15.340 --> 00:13:15.680
 world

00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:16.060
 the

00:13:16.060 --> 00:13:16.820
 attitudes

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:17.300
 and the

00:13:17.300 --> 00:13:17.860
 value

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:18.540
 systems

00:13:18.540 --> 00:13:19.200
 of this

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:19.680
 age

00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:20.520
 that were

00:13:20.520 --> 00:13:21.180
 opposed

00:13:21.180 --> 00:13:21.780
 to God

00:13:21.780 --> 00:13:22.080
 and his

00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:22.480
 kingdom

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.240
 the various

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:25.120
 world views

00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:26.360
 that work

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:27.160
 against God

00:13:27.160 --> 00:13:27.500
 and his

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:27.840
 rule

00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:28.180
 in our

00:13:28.180 --> 00:13:28.700
 hearts

00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:30.680
 these things

00:13:30.680 --> 00:13:31.460
 controlled us

00:13:31.460 --> 00:13:32.060
 these things

00:13:32.060 --> 00:13:33.240
 dominated our

00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:33.680
 lives

00:13:33.680 --> 00:13:34.400
 these things

00:13:34.400 --> 00:13:35.520
 dictated the

00:13:35.520 --> 00:13:36.000
 pace

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.560
 so our

00:13:37.560 --> 00:13:38.180
 actions were

00:13:38.180 --> 00:13:38.940
 dictated by

00:13:38.940 --> 00:13:39.500
 this present

00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:39.860
 age

00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:40.580
 which is

00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:41.700
 characterised

00:13:41.700 --> 00:13:42.640
 by rejection

00:13:42.640 --> 00:13:44.160
 of God's

00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:44.759
 kingship

00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.340
 I was at a

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:48.540
 family wedding

00:13:48.540 --> 00:13:49.080
 recently

00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:49.580
 trying to

00:13:49.580 --> 00:13:50.140
 understand

00:13:50.140 --> 00:13:51.780
 trying to

00:13:51.780 --> 00:13:52.100
 see whether

00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:52.460
 I could get

00:13:52.460 --> 00:13:53.000
 an opportunity

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:53.620
 to talk to

00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:54.020
 some of my

00:13:54.020 --> 00:13:54.340
 brothers

00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:56.700
 I had

00:13:56.700 --> 00:13:57.060
 forgotten

00:13:57.060 --> 00:13:57.560
 something

00:13:57.560 --> 00:13:59.080
 when the

00:13:59.080 --> 00:13:59.780
 music came

00:13:59.780 --> 00:14:00.100
 on

00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:01.600
 you couldn't

00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:02.220
 hear yourself

00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:02.780
 thinking

00:14:02.780 --> 00:14:03.320
 never mind

00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:03.660
 trying to

00:14:03.660 --> 00:14:03.900
 have a

00:14:03.900 --> 00:14:04.500
 conversation

00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:05.200
 with somebody

00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:06.620
 and I just

00:14:06.620 --> 00:14:06.980
 sat there

00:14:06.980 --> 00:14:07.240
 thinking

00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:07.759
 this is what

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.060
 the world

00:14:08.060 --> 00:14:08.580
 system is

00:14:08.580 --> 00:14:08.960
 like

00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:10.160
 everybody

00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:10.680
 is just

00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:11.259
 deafened

00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:11.720
 by the

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:12.240
 sound

00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:12.659
 of the

00:14:12.659 --> 00:14:12.919
 world

00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:13.360
 system

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:13.899
 and they

00:14:13.899 --> 00:14:14.179
 cannot

00:14:14.179 --> 00:14:14.620
 hear

00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:14.899
 another

00:14:14.899 --> 00:14:15.419
 voice

00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:16.840
 they

00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:17.179
 can't

00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:17.379
 hear

00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:17.639
 another

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:17.899
 voice

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:18.100
 that's

00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:18.299
 why

00:14:18.299 --> 00:14:19.480
 people

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:19.720
 are

00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:19.960
 the way

00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:20.319
 they are

00:14:20.319 --> 00:14:21.240
 dominated

00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:21.759
 by what

00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:22.299
 the world

00:14:22.299 --> 00:14:22.740
 system

00:14:22.740 --> 00:14:23.379
 is pumping

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:23.879
 at them

00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:24.519
 on a

00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:24.939
 constant

00:14:24.939 --> 00:14:25.600
 basis

00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:27.319
 then the

00:14:27.319 --> 00:14:27.580
 second

00:14:27.580 --> 00:14:28.279
 influence

00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:29.100
 that

00:14:29.100 --> 00:14:30.379
 Paul

00:14:30.379 --> 00:14:31.019
 outlines

00:14:31.019 --> 00:14:31.259
 here

00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:31.480
 is the

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:31.899
 devil's

00:14:31.899 --> 00:14:32.519
 influence

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:33.899
 the second

00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:34.379
 hostile

00:14:34.379 --> 00:14:35.000
 influence

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:35.500
 that works

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:36.039
 promoting

00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:36.659
 sin and

00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:37.059
 rebellion

00:14:37.059 --> 00:14:37.720
 in our

00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:38.159
 lives

00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:38.679
 he calls

00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:38.980
 it this

00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:39.200
 way

00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:39.480
 he says

00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:40.159
 the prince

00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:40.399
 of the

00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:40.819
 power of

00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:41.280
 the air

00:14:41.280 --> 00:14:42.080
 the spirit

00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:42.540
 who now

00:14:42.540 --> 00:14:43.140
 works in

00:14:43.140 --> 00:14:43.640
 the sons

00:14:43.640 --> 00:14:44.720
 of disobedience

00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:45.680
 now this

00:14:45.680 --> 00:14:46.260
 is not

00:14:46.260 --> 00:14:46.900
 talking about

00:14:46.900 --> 00:14:47.180
 demon

00:14:47.180 --> 00:14:47.680
 possession

00:14:47.680 --> 00:14:48.620
 because we

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:49.200
 cannot blame

00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:49.660
 the devil

00:14:49.660 --> 00:14:50.160
 for our

00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:50.460
 sin

00:14:50.460 --> 00:14:52.400
 regretfully

00:14:52.400 --> 00:14:52.980
 we're all

00:14:52.980 --> 00:14:54.080
 too willing

00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.080
 participants

00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.020
 the devil

00:14:57.020 --> 00:14:57.860
 encourages and

00:14:57.860 --> 00:14:58.400
 promotes

00:14:58.400 --> 00:14:59.960
 but regretfully

00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:00.700
 he finds us

00:15:00.700 --> 00:15:01.480
 too receptive

00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.300
 the devil

00:15:03.300 --> 00:15:04.000
 loves sin

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:04.620
 and rebellion

00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:06.020
 and he uses

00:15:06.020 --> 00:15:06.500
 all of his

00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:07.520
 persuasive powers

00:15:07.520 --> 00:15:08.020
 which are

00:15:08.020 --> 00:15:08.740
 considerable

00:15:08.740 --> 00:15:10.139
 to encourage

00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:10.159
 to encourage

00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:10.539
 and to

00:15:10.539 --> 00:15:11.019
 arouse

00:15:11.019 --> 00:15:11.460
 sin

00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:11.779
 in our

00:15:11.779 --> 00:15:12.379
 lives

00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:13.720
 the third

00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:14.139
 hostile

00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:14.980
 force is

00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:15.799
 regretfully

00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:16.440
 within us

00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.200
 it says

00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:18.779
 among whom

00:15:18.779 --> 00:15:19.360
 also we

00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.060
 all conducted

00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:20.639
 ourselves

00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:21.139
 in the

00:15:21.139 --> 00:15:21.580
 lusts of

00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:22.159
 our flesh

00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:23.200
 fulfilling

00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:23.919
 the desires

00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:24.500
 of the flesh

00:15:24.500 --> 00:15:24.899
 and of the

00:15:24.899 --> 00:15:25.360
 mind

00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:26.580
 he says

00:15:26.580 --> 00:15:27.259
 we all

00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:28.940
 conducted

00:15:28.940 --> 00:15:29.779
 ourselves

00:15:29.779 --> 00:15:30.820
 and Paul

00:15:30.820 --> 00:15:31.379
 is including

00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:32.379
 himself here

00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:33.159
 and all the

00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:33.840
 Christians to

00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:34.299
 whom he is

00:15:34.299 --> 00:15:34.680
 writing

00:15:34.680 --> 00:15:35.500
 you see

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:35.860
 human

00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:36.620
 sinfulness

00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:37.480
 is

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.100
 universal

00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:39.860
 it's not

00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:40.379
 the things

00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:41.680
 sorry

00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:42.120
 it's one of

00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:42.500
 the things

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:42.779
 that we

00:15:42.779 --> 00:15:43.279
 share

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:44.779
 in common

00:15:44.779 --> 00:15:45.899
 all have

00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:46.720
 sinned

00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:47.180
 and for

00:15:47.180 --> 00:15:47.779
 and short

00:15:47.779 --> 00:15:48.580
 the

00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:49.180
 universality

00:15:49.180 --> 00:15:50.659
 of sin

00:15:50.659 --> 00:15:51.620
 is one of

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:52.259
 the proofs

00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:52.480
 of the

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:52.840
 doctrine

00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:53.139
 of the

00:15:53.139 --> 00:15:53.519
 fall

00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:54.840
 you see

00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:55.320
 nobody

00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:56.419
 ever had

00:15:56.419 --> 00:15:56.779
 to take

00:15:56.779 --> 00:15:57.240
 you and

00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:57.539
 bring you

00:15:57.539 --> 00:15:57.840
 to a

00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:58.200
 seminar

00:15:58.200 --> 00:15:59.940
 to teach

00:15:59.940 --> 00:16:00.220
 you how

00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:00.539
 to tell

00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:00.980
 a lie

00:16:00.980 --> 00:16:02.379
 that's right

00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:03.920
 none of

00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:04.519
 your children

00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:04.960
 were ever

00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:05.340
 taken

00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:07.199
 and taught

00:16:07.199 --> 00:16:07.579
 how to

00:16:07.579 --> 00:16:08.139
 be nasty

00:16:08.139 --> 00:16:09.960
 regretfully

00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:10.539
 it comes

00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:12.039
 naturally

00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:13.559
 the evil

00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:14.240
 will influence

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.620
 us of the

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:15.079
 world and

00:16:15.079 --> 00:16:15.299
 of the

00:16:15.299 --> 00:16:15.740
 devil and

00:16:15.740 --> 00:16:16.360
 regretfully

00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:17.759
 they find

00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:18.579
 a welcome

00:16:18.579 --> 00:16:18.899
 in our

00:16:18.899 --> 00:16:19.399
 hearts

00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:20.000
 when the

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:20.500
 world and

00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:20.860
 the devil

00:16:20.860 --> 00:16:21.659
 comes knocking

00:16:21.659 --> 00:16:22.559
 they find

00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:23.159
 already a

00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:24.639
 mat at

00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:25.220
 our doorway

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:25.720
 saying

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.039
 welcome

00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:28.819
 the world

00:16:28.819 --> 00:16:29.039
 and the

00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:30.240
 devil broadcasts

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:30.659
 and we

00:16:30.659 --> 00:16:31.480
 regretfully

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:32.259
 receive the

00:16:32.259 --> 00:16:32.759
 signals

00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.019
 too readily

00:16:34.019 --> 00:16:35.860
 we are

00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:36.480
 by nature

00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:37.120
 fallen

00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:38.539
 self-centered

00:16:38.539 --> 00:16:39.179
 rebels

00:16:39.179 --> 00:16:41.840
 or as

00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.379
 Paul puts

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:42.679
 it by

00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:43.199
 nature

00:16:43.199 --> 00:16:44.879
 children

00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:45.539
 of wrath

00:16:45.539 --> 00:16:47.139
 Paul in

00:16:47.139 --> 00:16:47.939
 Galatians 5

00:16:47.939 --> 00:16:48.559
 lists the

00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:49.340
 activities of

00:16:49.340 --> 00:16:49.840
 our sinful

00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:50.299
 nature

00:16:50.299 --> 00:16:51.100
 our

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:51.919
 inclinations

00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:52.860
 that are

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:53.480
 extensive

00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:54.000
 and they're

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:54.980
 wide ranging

00:16:54.980 --> 00:16:56.299
 cover every

00:16:56.299 --> 00:16:57.000
 conceivable

00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.319
 sin that you

00:16:59.319 --> 00:16:59.720
 could think

00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:00.079
 of

00:17:00.079 --> 00:17:01.079
 they're far

00:17:01.079 --> 00:17:01.699
 more deeper

00:17:01.699 --> 00:17:02.220
 than just

00:17:02.220 --> 00:17:02.899
 sex and

00:17:02.899 --> 00:17:03.539
 murder and

00:17:03.539 --> 00:17:04.139
 drunkenness

00:17:04.139 --> 00:17:04.799
 they go

00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:05.259
 down into

00:17:05.259 --> 00:17:05.740
 the depths

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:06.059
 of our

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:06.379
 being

00:17:06.379 --> 00:17:07.279
 let's just

00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:07.700
 listen to

00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:08.079
 the list

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:08.420
 for a

00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:08.759
 moment

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:09.639
 he says

00:17:09.639 --> 00:17:09.960
 the works

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.159
 of the

00:17:10.159 --> 00:17:10.539
 flesh are

00:17:10.539 --> 00:17:10.839
 evident

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:11.240
 which are

00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:11.519
 these

00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:12.119
 adultery

00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:13.559
 fornication

00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:14.220
 uncleanness

00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:14.839
 lewdness

00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:15.639
 idolatry

00:17:15.639 --> 00:17:16.680
 sorcery

00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:17.779
 yeah we'd

00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:18.099
 say that

00:17:18.099 --> 00:17:18.700
 that's sin

00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:19.740
 but then he

00:17:19.740 --> 00:17:20.279
 goes on and

00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:20.960
 he talks about

00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:21.879
 hatred and

00:17:21.879 --> 00:17:22.940
 contentions and

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:24.039
 jealousies and

00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:24.899
 outbursts of

00:17:24.899 --> 00:17:25.599
 wrath and

00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:26.579
 selfish ambition

00:17:26.579 --> 00:17:27.819
 dissensions and

00:17:27.819 --> 00:17:28.359
 heresies

00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:28.899
 envy

00:17:28.900 --> 00:17:30.000
 and then he

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.460
 goes on

00:17:30.460 --> 00:17:31.080
 murder and

00:17:31.080 --> 00:17:31.840
 drunkenness and

00:17:31.840 --> 00:17:32.500
 revelry and

00:17:32.500 --> 00:17:33.340
 the like of

00:17:33.340 --> 00:17:33.740
 which I tell

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:34.420
 you before and

00:17:34.420 --> 00:17:34.820
 I tell you

00:17:34.820 --> 00:17:35.640
 often in past

00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:36.560
 times that

00:17:36.560 --> 00:17:36.960
 those who

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:37.720
 practice such

00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:38.580
 things shall

00:17:38.580 --> 00:17:39.420
 not inherit the

00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:39.900
 kingdom of

00:17:39.900 --> 00:17:40.300
 God

00:17:40.300 --> 00:17:41.640
 we're sinners

00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.380
 in thought

00:17:43.380 --> 00:17:45.019
 in word

00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:47.080
 and in deed

00:17:47.080 --> 00:17:48.060
 we sin by

00:17:48.060 --> 00:17:49.380
 omission and

00:17:49.380 --> 00:17:49.880
 commission

00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:50.540
 what that means

00:17:50.540 --> 00:17:51.500
 is we do

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:52.019
 things we

00:17:52.019 --> 00:17:52.720
 ought not to

00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:53.000
 do

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.140
 and there's

00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:54.660
 things that we

00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:55.160
 ought to do

00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:55.740
 that we don't

00:17:55.740 --> 00:17:56.039
 do

00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.539
 and all of

00:17:58.539 --> 00:17:58.839
 this

00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:00.819
 made us

00:18:00.819 --> 00:18:02.680
 children of

00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:03.099
 wrath

00:18:03.099 --> 00:18:04.779
 just as the

00:18:04.779 --> 00:18:05.240
 others

00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:06.900
 we were under

00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:07.559
 the just

00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:08.660
 and holy

00:18:08.660 --> 00:18:10.120
 righteous wrath

00:18:10.120 --> 00:18:10.660
 of almighty

00:18:10.660 --> 00:18:11.180
 God

00:18:11.180 --> 00:18:13.140
 now the wrath

00:18:13.140 --> 00:18:13.759
 of God is

00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:14.299
 not some

00:18:14.299 --> 00:18:14.920
 out of

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:15.400
 control

00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:16.120
 outburst

00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:17.000
 where God

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:17.620
 just loses

00:18:17.620 --> 00:18:18.220
 the rag

00:18:18.220 --> 00:18:19.400
 now that's

00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:19.920
 not what the

00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:20.319
 Bible is

00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:20.980
 talking about

00:18:20.980 --> 00:18:21.220
 here

00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:21.980
 it's talking

00:18:21.980 --> 00:18:22.420
 about his

00:18:22.420 --> 00:18:23.000
 settled

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:24.599
 determined

00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:25.319
 opposition

00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:26.099
 against sin

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:26.679
 and rebellion

00:18:26.679 --> 00:18:28.519
 in fact the

00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:29.099
 psalmist says

00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:29.700
 that he's angry

00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:30.240
 with the wicked

00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:31.879
 every day

00:18:31.879 --> 00:18:34.939
 again Paul

00:18:34.939 --> 00:18:35.779
 includes himself

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.619
 in this category

00:18:36.619 --> 00:18:38.319
 before conversion

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:38.939
 he was heading

00:18:38.939 --> 00:18:39.899
 for judgment

00:18:39.899 --> 00:18:40.700
 day with no

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:41.079
 hope

00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:43.000
 of escaping

00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:43.799
 God's just

00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:44.259
 and holy

00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:45.159
 penalty against

00:18:45.159 --> 00:18:45.740
 his sin

00:18:45.740 --> 00:18:47.019
 eternal

00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:48.359
 conscious

00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:48.980
 punishment

00:18:48.980 --> 00:18:50.919
 in hell

00:18:50.919 --> 00:18:53.419
 now thankfully

00:18:53.420 --> 00:18:55.039
 our passage

00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:55.660
 doesn't end

00:18:55.660 --> 00:18:55.960
 there

00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:57.039
 thankfully

00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:58.800
 see it

00:18:58.800 --> 00:18:59.340
 goes on to

00:18:59.340 --> 00:18:59.759
 talk about

00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:00.320
 the position

00:19:00.320 --> 00:19:01.680
 that we've

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.220
 come into

00:19:02.220 --> 00:19:03.600
 because of

00:19:03.600 --> 00:19:04.039
 grace

00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:05.220
 because of

00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:05.620
 mercy

00:19:05.620 --> 00:19:06.820
 because of

00:19:06.820 --> 00:19:07.140
 God's

00:19:07.140 --> 00:19:07.600
 goodness

00:19:07.600 --> 00:19:10.279
 verse 5

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:10.840
 starts out

00:19:10.840 --> 00:19:11.220
 it says

00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:12.840
 but God

00:19:12.840 --> 00:19:14.720
 but God

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:16.160
 God intervened

00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:16.680
 he stepped

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:17.039
 in

00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:17.300
 he

00:19:17.300 --> 00:19:18.920
 as it were

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:20.019
 interfered with

00:19:20.019 --> 00:19:20.539
 the flow

00:19:20.539 --> 00:19:22.220
 and he

00:19:22.220 --> 00:19:22.759
 changed

00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:23.579
 things

00:19:23.579 --> 00:19:24.599
 but God

00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:24.859
 who is

00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:25.259
 rich in

00:19:25.259 --> 00:19:25.500
 mercy

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:25.920
 because of

00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:26.500
 his great

00:19:26.500 --> 00:19:26.779
 love

00:19:26.779 --> 00:19:27.079
 with which

00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:27.480
 he loved

00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:27.639
 us

00:19:27.639 --> 00:19:28.400
 even when

00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:28.720
 we were

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:28.960
 dead

00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:29.139
 in

00:19:29.139 --> 00:19:29.720
 trespasses

00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:30.339
 and sins

00:19:30.339 --> 00:19:31.119
 made us

00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:31.460
 alive

00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:31.799
 together

00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:32.019
 with

00:19:32.019 --> 00:19:32.460
 Christ

00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:33.619
 by grace

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:33.900
 you have

00:19:33.900 --> 00:19:34.059
 been

00:19:34.059 --> 00:19:34.539
 saved

00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:35.700
 what Paul

00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:36.079
 is doing

00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:36.399
 here

00:19:36.399 --> 00:19:36.619
 is

00:19:36.619 --> 00:19:37.619
 he's

00:19:37.619 --> 00:19:37.819
 setting

00:19:37.819 --> 00:19:38.000
 up

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:38.220
 an

00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:39.119
 awesome

00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:39.940
 contrast

00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:41.000
 he's

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.759
 contrasting

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:41.980
 two

00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:42.559
 things

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:43.639
 the

00:19:43.639 --> 00:19:44.299
 contrast

00:19:44.299 --> 00:19:44.579
 if you

00:19:44.579 --> 00:19:44.819
 like

00:19:44.819 --> 00:19:45.000
 of

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:45.619
 all

00:19:45.619 --> 00:19:46.619
 contrasts

00:19:46.619 --> 00:19:46.920
 the

00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:47.519
 blackness

00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:47.859
 and the

00:19:47.859 --> 00:19:48.299
 darkness

00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:48.740
 of our

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:49.220
 previous

00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:49.799
 position

00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:51.159
 contrasted

00:19:51.159 --> 00:19:51.460
 against

00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:51.759
 this

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.319
 spectacularly

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:54.220
 glorious

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:55.159
 wonderful

00:19:55.159 --> 00:19:55.680
 position

00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:56.440
 that God

00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:56.839
 has brought

00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:57.379
 us into

00:19:57.379 --> 00:19:59.099
 if you

00:19:59.099 --> 00:19:59.460
 ever went

00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:00.079
 into a

00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:00.539
 jewelers

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:00.899
 just to

00:20:00.899 --> 00:20:01.059
 buy

00:20:01.059 --> 00:20:01.500
 diamonds

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:01.960
 not maybe

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:02.379
 the ring

00:20:02.379 --> 00:20:02.759
 but just

00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:03.279
 the diamonds

00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:05.759
 and the

00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:06.259
 jeweler wanted

00:20:06.259 --> 00:20:06.740
 to show

00:20:06.740 --> 00:20:07.200
 them to

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:07.660
 you at

00:20:07.660 --> 00:20:08.299
 their best

00:20:08.299 --> 00:20:09.859
 he'd lay

00:20:09.859 --> 00:20:10.220
 them out

00:20:10.220 --> 00:20:10.440
 on a

00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:10.680
 black

00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:11.259
 cloth

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:12.879
 so that

00:20:12.879 --> 00:20:13.319
 you'd see

00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:13.639
 them in

00:20:13.639 --> 00:20:14.000
 all of

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:14.599
 their glory

00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:15.299
 and that's

00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:15.700
 what Paul

00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:16.079
 is doing

00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:16.399
 here

00:20:16.399 --> 00:20:16.660
 he's

00:20:16.660 --> 00:20:17.519
 taking the

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:17.819
 black

00:20:17.819 --> 00:20:18.319
 cloth

00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:18.700
 of our

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:19.440
 previous

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:19.940
 position

00:20:19.940 --> 00:20:20.740
 and he's

00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:21.420
 putting on

00:20:21.420 --> 00:20:22.259
 that cloth

00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:23.480
 the glory

00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:24.119
 some of

00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:24.639
 the gems

00:20:24.639 --> 00:20:25.099
 some of

00:20:25.099 --> 00:20:25.680
 the wonders

00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:26.039
 of what

00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:26.440
 God

00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:27.359
 has done

00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:27.779
 for us

00:20:27.779 --> 00:20:28.420
 in Christ

00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:29.399
 we were

00:20:29.399 --> 00:20:29.920
 lost and

00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:30.359
 undone

00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:30.720
 and without

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:31.259
 hope

00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:33.200
 but God

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:34.519
 God took

00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:35.039
 the initiative

00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:35.620
 he stepped

00:20:35.620 --> 00:20:36.559
 in where

00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:37.799
 he didn't

00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:38.220
 have to

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:39.860
 there was

00:20:39.860 --> 00:20:40.500
 no need

00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:42.059
 either in

00:20:42.059 --> 00:20:42.700
 God himself

00:20:42.700 --> 00:20:43.240
 or

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:44.960
 there was

00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:45.340
 nothing in

00:20:45.340 --> 00:20:45.779
 us that

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:47.180
 would cause

00:20:47.180 --> 00:20:47.640
 him to do

00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:48.100
 it

00:20:48.100 --> 00:20:49.039
 but solely

00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:49.660
 and only

00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:50.200
 because of

00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:50.759
 his awesome

00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:51.319
 love

00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:52.059
 and his

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:52.440
 mercy

00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:52.779
 that he

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:53.360
 stepped in

00:20:53.360 --> 00:20:53.580
 and he

00:20:53.580 --> 00:20:54.340
 rescued us

00:20:54.340 --> 00:20:55.799
 he could

00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:56.200
 rightly

00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:56.880
 and justly

00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:57.279
 have left

00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:57.700
 us to the

00:20:57.700 --> 00:20:58.319
 consequences

00:20:58.319 --> 00:20:58.740
 of our

00:20:58.740 --> 00:20:59.059
 sin

00:20:59.059 --> 00:21:00.279
 but his

00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:00.920
 spectacular

00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:01.620
 compassion

00:21:01.619 --> 00:21:03.479
 his love

00:21:03.479 --> 00:21:03.839
 that is

00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:04.259
 beyond

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:04.939
 compare

00:21:04.939 --> 00:21:06.139
 moved him

00:21:06.139 --> 00:21:07.799
 to reach

00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:08.159
 down

00:21:08.159 --> 00:21:09.059
 and meet

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:09.659
 our need

00:21:09.659 --> 00:21:11.139
 God

00:21:11.139 --> 00:21:13.079
 so loved

00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:13.759
 the world

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:14.979
 that he

00:21:14.979 --> 00:21:15.439
 gave

00:21:15.439 --> 00:21:18.039
 let's

00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:18.359
 consider

00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:18.699
 some of

00:21:18.699 --> 00:21:19.199
 the jewels

00:21:19.199 --> 00:21:20.559
 spread out

00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:20.919
 on that

00:21:20.919 --> 00:21:21.739
 black cloth

00:21:21.739 --> 00:21:23.179
 some of

00:21:23.179 --> 00:21:23.679
 the jewels

00:21:23.679 --> 00:21:24.000
 of this

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:24.799
 great salvation

00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:25.319
 first of all

00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:25.659
 of course

00:21:25.659 --> 00:21:26.519
 it's the

00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:26.839
 forgiveness

00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:27.419
 of sin

00:21:27.419 --> 00:21:28.819
 but God

00:21:28.819 --> 00:21:29.279
 who is rich

00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:29.659
 in mercy

00:21:29.660 --> 00:21:30.100
 because of

00:21:30.100 --> 00:21:30.920
 his great

00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:31.180
 love

00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:31.480
 with which

00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:31.740
 he has

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:32.259
 loved us

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:33.060
 even when

00:21:33.060 --> 00:21:33.400
 we were

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:33.860
 dead in

00:21:33.860 --> 00:21:34.100
 sin

00:21:34.100 --> 00:21:34.440
 met us

00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:34.779
 alive

00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:35.140
 together

00:21:35.140 --> 00:21:35.759
 in Christ

00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:36.759
 by grace

00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:37.040
 you have

00:21:37.040 --> 00:21:37.680
 been saved

00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:38.900
 this is the

00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:39.660
 most awesome

00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:40.220
 blessing of

00:21:40.220 --> 00:21:40.519
 all

00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:41.560
 every other

00:21:41.560 --> 00:21:42.120
 blessing that

00:21:42.120 --> 00:21:42.640
 comes our

00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:43.320
 way is

00:21:43.320 --> 00:21:44.519
 it's wonderful

00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:45.519
 but it's

00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:45.960
 very much

00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:46.640
 secondary to

00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:47.240
 this greatest

00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:47.880
 blessing of

00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:48.120
 all

00:21:48.120 --> 00:21:48.960
 to know

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:50.140
 your sin

00:21:50.140 --> 00:21:51.740
 forgiven

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:52.900
 the word

00:21:52.900 --> 00:21:53.600
 forgiven there

00:21:53.600 --> 00:21:54.300
 means sin

00:21:54.300 --> 00:21:55.259
 is taken

00:21:55.259 --> 00:21:56.279
 out of the

00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:56.640
 way

00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:58.460
 the psalmist

00:21:58.460 --> 00:21:58.840
 puts it

00:21:58.840 --> 00:21:59.200
 this way

00:21:59.200 --> 00:21:59.440
 he says

00:21:59.440 --> 00:21:59.960
 your sin

00:21:59.960 --> 00:22:00.580
 has been

00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:01.380
 removed

00:22:01.380 --> 00:22:02.400
 as far as

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:02.880
 the east

00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:03.259
 is from

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:03.900
 the west

00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:05.220
 out

00:22:05.220 --> 00:22:07.140
 sin is

00:22:07.140 --> 00:22:07.880
 taken out

00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:08.600
 of the

00:22:08.600 --> 00:22:09.220
 equation

00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:09.580
 of our

00:22:09.580 --> 00:22:10.200
 relationship

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:10.900
 with God

00:22:10.900 --> 00:22:11.920
 it's no

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:12.420
 longer in

00:22:12.420 --> 00:22:13.040
 the equation

00:22:13.040 --> 00:22:13.620
 if you like

00:22:13.620 --> 00:22:14.500
 our sin

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:15.300
 is removed

00:22:15.300 --> 00:22:17.180
 price paid

00:22:17.180 --> 00:22:17.640
 in full

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:18.020
 the Lord

00:22:18.020 --> 00:22:18.780
 Jesus Christ

00:22:18.780 --> 00:22:19.800
 became the

00:22:19.800 --> 00:22:21.100
 propitiation

00:22:21.100 --> 00:22:21.620
 for our

00:22:21.620 --> 00:22:21.860
 sin

00:22:21.860 --> 00:22:22.160
 in other

00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:22.400
 words

00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:23.480
 he bore

00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:24.460
 on his

00:22:24.460 --> 00:22:25.080
 own body

00:22:25.080 --> 00:22:25.880
 the wrath

00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:26.380
 of God

00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:27.400
 against all

00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:28.180
 of our

00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:28.480
 sin

00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:29.420
 he absorbed

00:22:29.420 --> 00:22:30.260
 all the

00:22:30.260 --> 00:22:30.640
 penalty

00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:31.180
 for your

00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:31.500
 sin

00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:31.800
 and for

00:22:31.800 --> 00:22:32.120
 mine

00:22:32.120 --> 00:22:33.180
 he absorbed

00:22:33.180 --> 00:22:34.200
 that penalty

00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:35.540
 into himself

00:22:35.540 --> 00:22:36.680
 during those

00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:37.560
 six hours

00:22:37.560 --> 00:22:38.760
 on the

00:22:38.760 --> 00:22:39.260
 cross

00:22:39.260 --> 00:22:40.440
 paid in

00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:40.760
 full

00:22:40.760 --> 00:22:41.440
 he cried

00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:41.780
 out

00:22:41.780 --> 00:22:43.700
 and because

00:22:43.700 --> 00:22:44.120
 of all

00:22:44.120 --> 00:22:44.400
 that

00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:45.000
 when we

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:45.680
 do sin

00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:47.180
 we have

00:22:47.180 --> 00:22:47.740
 an advocate

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:48.140
 with the

00:22:48.140 --> 00:22:48.500
 father

00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:49.860
 somebody

00:22:49.860 --> 00:22:50.240
 that

00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:51.560
 represents

00:22:51.560 --> 00:22:52.120
 us

00:22:52.120 --> 00:22:52.720
 someone

00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:53.560
 that stands

00:22:53.560 --> 00:22:53.980
 in our

00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:54.460
 place

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:55.660
 and pleads

00:22:55.660 --> 00:22:56.279
 our case

00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:56.840
 for us

00:22:56.840 --> 00:22:57.319
 he is

00:22:57.319 --> 00:22:57.500
 our

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:58.240
 representative

00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:59.480
 because of

00:22:59.480 --> 00:22:59.640
 his

00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:00.539
 propitiation

00:23:00.539 --> 00:23:02.019
 on our

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:02.519
 behalf

00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:03.460
 then the

00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:03.759
 second

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.600
 jewel

00:23:04.600 --> 00:23:04.860
 that I

00:23:04.860 --> 00:23:05.160
 want to

00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:05.380
 just

00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:06.059
 look at

00:23:06.059 --> 00:23:06.220
 this

00:23:06.220 --> 00:23:06.539
 morning

00:23:06.539 --> 00:23:06.819
 is

00:23:06.819 --> 00:23:08.019
 sin's

00:23:08.019 --> 00:23:08.460
 dominion

00:23:08.460 --> 00:23:08.640
 is

00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:09.100
 broken

00:23:09.100 --> 00:23:10.200
 so we

00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:10.680
 talk about

00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:11.220
 the penalty

00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:11.720
 of sin

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:12.319
 now we

00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:12.700
 talk about

00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:13.220
 the power

00:23:13.220 --> 00:23:13.819
 of sin

00:23:13.819 --> 00:23:15.559
 and he

00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:15.960
 says here

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:16.440
 even when

00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:16.740
 we were

00:23:16.740 --> 00:23:17.059
 dead

00:23:17.059 --> 00:23:17.779
 in

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:18.400
 trespasses

00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:18.920
 he made

00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:19.759
 us alive

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:21.400
 met us

00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:22.000
 alive

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:23.180
 together

00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:23.440
 with

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:23.940
 Christ

00:23:23.940 --> 00:23:24.960
 by grace

00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:25.200
 you have

00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:25.359
 been

00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:25.900
 saved

00:23:25.900 --> 00:23:26.799
 see

00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:27.200
 Jesus

00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:27.879
 describes

00:23:27.879 --> 00:23:28.859
 sin as

00:23:28.859 --> 00:23:29.720
 slavery

00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:30.839
 he that

00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:31.240
 sins

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:31.900
 says Jesus

00:23:31.900 --> 00:23:32.599
 is a

00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:33.259
 slave of

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:33.680
 sin

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:35.240
 now because

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:35.579
 we have

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:35.900
 been made

00:23:35.900 --> 00:23:36.279
 alive

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:36.680
 together

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:37.279
 with Christ

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:37.779
 because

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:38.160
 we are

00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:38.640
 united

00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:38.940
 with

00:23:38.940 --> 00:23:39.359
 Christ

00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:39.879
 because

00:23:39.879 --> 00:23:40.420
 we have

00:23:40.420 --> 00:23:40.599
 been

00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:40.980
 born

00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:41.240
 from

00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:41.640
 above

00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:43.039
 we

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:43.559
 no longer

00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:44.160
 need

00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:45.700
 to

00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:46.000
 serve

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:46.420
 sin

00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:47.680
 we can

00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:48.019
 walk

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.200
 with

00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:48.579
 God

00:23:48.579 --> 00:23:49.319
 not

00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:53.079
 puts

00:23:58.879 --> 00:23:59.319
 free

00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:00.559
 from

 law

00:24:00.879 --> 00:24:01.019

00:24:01.179 --> 00:24:01.339
 and

00:24:01.339 --> 00:24:01.679
 death

00:24:01.679 --> 00:24:02.599
 we

00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:02.939
 can

00:24:02.939 --> 00:24:03.480
 actually

00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:04.059
 look

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:04.359
 our

00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:04.779
 favourite

00:24:04.779 --> 00:24:05.299
 sin

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:05.659
 in

00:24:07.179 --> 00:24:07.279
 it

00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:07.379
 to

00:24:07.379 --> 00:24:07.539
 go

00:24:07.539 --> 00:24:07.859
 away

00:24:07.859 --> 00:24:09.099
 no

00:24:09.099 --> 00:24:10.359
 not

00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:10.579
 happy

00:24:10.579 --> 00:24:11.039
 anymore

00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:11.779
 I'm

00:24:11.779 --> 00:24:11.899
 going

00:24:11.899 --> 00:24:12.000
 to

00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:12.200
 walk

00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:12.379
 with

00:24:12.379 --> 00:24:12.740
 God

00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:13.899
 not

00:24:13.899 --> 00:24:14.419
 perfectly

00:24:14.419 --> 00:24:15.139
 at

00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:16.379
 battle

00:24:16.379 --> 00:24:16.939

00:24:16.939 --> 00:24:17.200
 very

00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:17.880
 real

00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:18.519
 but

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:19.019
 nonetheless

00:24:26.100 --> 00:24:26.539
 step

00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:27.180
 nearer

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:27.319

00:25:05.740 --> 00:25:05.960
 morning

00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:07.140
 many

00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:07.380
 many

00:25:07.380 --> 00:25:07.720
 others

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:07.940
 that we

 could

00:25:08.100 --> 00:25:08.440
 look at

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:08.580
 but

00:25:08.580 --> 00:25:08.799
 just

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.380
 to

00:25:09.380 --> 00:25:09.580
 think

00:25:09.580 --> 00:25:09.759
 about

00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:09.940
 this

00:25:09.940 --> 00:25:10.100
 one

00:25:10.100 --> 00:25:10.259
 for

00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:10.360
 a

00:25:10.360 --> 00:25:10.660
 moment

00:25:10.660 --> 00:25:11.799
 the

00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:12.640
 alienation

00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:14.140
 that

00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:14.620
 barrier

00:25:14.620 --> 00:25:15.299
 between

00:25:15.299 --> 00:25:15.580
 us

00:25:15.580 --> 00:25:15.720
 and

00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:16.120
 God

00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:17.119
 completely

00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:17.699
 removed

00:25:17.699 --> 00:25:19.319
 he says

00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:19.739
 it says

00:25:19.739 --> 00:25:19.919
 here

00:25:19.919 --> 00:25:20.659
 he raised

00:25:20.659 --> 00:25:21.019
 us up

00:25:21.019 --> 00:25:21.439
 together

00:25:21.439 --> 00:25:22.279
 and he

00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:22.719
 made us

00:25:22.719 --> 00:25:23.459
 sit

00:25:23.459 --> 00:25:24.019
 together

00:25:24.019 --> 00:25:25.239
 in the

00:25:25.239 --> 00:25:25.579
 heavenly

00:25:25.579 --> 00:25:26.159
 places

00:25:26.159 --> 00:25:27.259
 in

00:25:27.259 --> 00:25:27.719
 Christ

00:25:27.719 --> 00:25:28.239
 Jesus

00:25:28.239 --> 00:25:29.500
 you see

00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:30.359
 so utterly

00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:31.159
 remarkable

00:25:31.159 --> 00:25:31.979
 is this

00:25:31.979 --> 00:25:32.519
 awesome

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:33.159
 salvation

00:25:33.159 --> 00:25:33.519
 that we

00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:33.879
 have come

00:25:33.879 --> 00:25:34.259
 into

00:25:34.259 --> 00:25:35.379
 is that

00:25:35.379 --> 00:25:35.539

00:25:35.539 --> 00:25:35.919
 already

00:25:35.919 --> 00:25:36.339
 seated

00:25:36.339 --> 00:25:36.559
 with

00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:37.019
 Christ

00:25:37.019 --> 00:25:38.079
 in

 heavenly

00:25:38.399 --> 00:25:38.979
 places

00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:40.160
 there's

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:40.380
 a hymn

00:25:40.380 --> 00:25:40.799
 we sing

00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:41.240
 sometimes

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:41.620
 back in

00:25:41.620 --> 00:25:42.000
 Westport

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:42.779
 it

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:33.240
 verse

00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:33.619
 12

00:27:33.619 --> 00:27:33.980
 in

00:27:33.980 --> 00:27:34.219
 whom

00:27:34.219 --> 00:27:34.379
 we

00:27:34.379 --> 00:27:34.619
 have

00:27:34.619 --> 00:27:35.439
 boldness

00:27:35.439 --> 00:27:35.679
 and

00:27:35.679 --> 00:27:36.399
 access

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:37.300
 with

00:27:37.300 --> 00:27:38.060
 confidence

00:27:38.060 --> 00:27:39.100

00:27:39.100 --> 00:27:39.519
 faith

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:39.700
 in

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:39.960
 him

00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:42.420
 so

00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:42.600
 I

00:27:42.600 --> 00:27:42.740
 can

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:42.980
 come

00:27:42.980 --> 00:27:43.140

00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:44.580
 I

00:27:44.580 --> 00:27:44.740
 can

00:27:44.740 --> 00:27:45.019
 walk

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:45.220
 with

00:27:45.220 --> 00:27:45.560
 God

00:27:45.560 --> 00:27:46.360
 I

00:27:46.360 --> 00:27:46.560
 can

00:27:46.560 --> 00:27:46.920
 know

00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:47.220
 him

00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:48.580
 I

00:27:49.220 --> 00:27:49.400
 him

00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:49.560
 in

00:27:49.560 --> 00:27:49.920
 prayer

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:50.100
 I

00:27:50.100 --> 00:27:50.259
 can

00:27:50.259 --> 00:27:51.320
 access

00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:51.780
 God

00:27:51.780 --> 00:27:52.019
 if you

00:27:52.019 --> 00:27:52.340
 like

00:27:52.340 --> 00:27:53.380
 that

 high

00:27:54.060 --> 00:27:54.420
 priest

00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:54.600
 could

00:27:54.600 --> 00:27:54.800
 only

00:27:54.800 --> 00:27:55.040
 do

00:27:55.040 --> 00:27:55.420
 once

00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:55.600
 a

00:27:55.600 --> 00:27:55.920
 year

00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:56.400
 and

00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:56.540
 with

00:27:56.540 --> 00:27:56.720
 an

00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:56.940
 awful

00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:57.220
 lot

00:27:57.220 --> 00:27:57.400
 of

00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:58.300
 parlava

00:27:58.300 --> 00:27:58.680
 before

00:27:58.680 --> 00:27:58.900
 he

00:27:58.900 --> 00:27:59.120
 done

00:27:59.120 --> 00:27:59.300
 it

00:27:59.300 --> 00:28:00.019
 we

00:28:00.019 --> 00:28:00.320
 can

00:28:00.320 --> 00:28:00.540
 do

00:28:00.540 --> 00:28:01.080
 freely

00:28:01.080 --> 00:28:01.800
 with

00:28:01.800 --> 00:28:02.380
 confidence

00:28:02.380 --> 00:28:02.820
 and with

00:28:02.820 --> 00:28:03.380
 boldness

00:28:03.380 --> 00:28:03.680
 we can

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:04.019
 come

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:04.460
 into

00:28:04.460 --> 00:28:04.660
 the

00:28:04.660 --> 00:28:05.040
 presence

00:28:05.040 --> 00:28:05.280
 of

00:28:05.280 --> 00:28:05.640
 God

00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:06.900
 and

00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:07.140
 even

00:28:07.140 --> 00:28:07.360
 when

00:28:07.360 --> 00:28:07.540
 I

00:28:07.540 --> 00:28:07.860
 sin

00:28:07.860 --> 00:28:09.200
 I

00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:09.380
 can

00:28:09.380 --> 00:28:09.600
 come

00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:09.800
 to

00:28:09.800 --> 00:28:10.200
 God

00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:11.120
 in

00:28:11.120 --> 00:28:11.460
 fresh

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:11.980
 repentance

00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:12.759
 and

00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:13.259
 faith

00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:14.540
 and that

00:28:14.540 --> 00:28:14.920
 sin is

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:15.420
 put away

00:28:15.420 --> 00:28:16.420
 the

00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:16.940
 relationship

00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:17.340
 is

00:28:17.340 --> 00:28:18.420
 beautiful

00:28:18.420 --> 00:28:18.900
 again

00:28:18.900 --> 00:28:21.360
 so

00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:21.700
 why did

00:28:21.700 --> 00:28:21.900
 God

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:22.120
 do

00:28:22.120 --> 00:28:22.320
 it

00:28:22.320 --> 00:28:24.420
 why

00:28:24.420 --> 00:28:24.580
 did

00:28:24.580 --> 00:28:24.779
 God

00:28:24.779 --> 00:28:24.980
 do

00:28:24.980 --> 00:28:25.480
 it

00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:26.060
 well

00:28:26.060 --> 00:28:26.300
 actually

00:28:26.300 --> 00:28:26.500
 our

00:28:26.500 --> 00:28:26.779
 passage

00:28:26.779 --> 00:28:27.140
 tells

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:27.720
 us

00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:29.740
 first if

00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:29.920
 you look

00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:30.200
 at verse

00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:30.460
 seven

00:28:30.460 --> 00:28:30.779
 there it

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:30.940
 says

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:31.519
 that in

00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:31.700
 the

00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:32.000
 ages

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:32.240
 to

00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:32.560
 come

00:28:32.560 --> 00:28:32.720
 he

00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:32.920
 might

00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:33.220
 show

00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:33.420
 the

00:28:33.420 --> 00:28:34.000
 exceeding

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.300
 riches

00:28:34.300 --> 00:28:34.680
 of his

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:35.120
 grace

00:28:35.120 --> 00:28:36.460
 in his

00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:36.920
 kindness

00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:37.400
 towards

00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:37.600
 us

00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:37.740
 in

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:38.000
 Christ

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:38.440
 Jesus

00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:40.519
 God

00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:41.940
 in the

00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:42.180
 ages

00:28:42.180 --> 00:28:42.779
 to come

00:28:42.779 --> 00:28:43.900
 is going

00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:44.200
 to make

00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:44.799
 a display

00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:45.319
 out of you

00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:45.920
 and out of me

00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:47.299
 he's going

00:28:47.299 --> 00:28:47.960
 to hold us

00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:48.440
 up as an

00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:49.299
 example of his

00:28:49.299 --> 00:28:49.740
 wisdom

00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:51.420
 and he's going

00:28:51.420 --> 00:28:52.099
 to show it

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:52.920
 by the church

00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:53.879
 listen to

00:28:53.879 --> 00:28:54.359
 Ephesians

00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:54.680
 3

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:55.000
 and verse

00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:55.460
 20

00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:56.079
 or verse

00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:56.480
 10

00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:57.279
 to the

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:57.680
 intent

00:28:57.680 --> 00:28:58.599
 that now

00:28:58.599 --> 00:28:59.599
 the manifold

00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:00.079
 wisdom

00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:00.720
 of God

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:01.359
 might be

00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:02.019
 made known

00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:03.539
 by the

00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:03.960
 church

00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:05.119
 to the

00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:05.779
 principalities

00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:06.480
 and powers

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.440
 in the heavenly

00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:08.019
 places

00:29:08.019 --> 00:29:09.240
 so there's

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:09.460
 going to

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:09.700
 come a

00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:09.940
 time

00:29:09.940 --> 00:29:10.480
 when God

00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:11.139
 will put

00:29:11.139 --> 00:29:11.779
 on display

00:29:11.779 --> 00:29:12.420
 before the

00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:13.079
 principalities

00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:13.720
 and powers

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:15.279
 the church

00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:16.559
 and he's

00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:16.779
 going to

00:29:16.779 --> 00:29:16.960
 say

00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:17.859
 that's what

00:29:17.859 --> 00:29:18.379
 my wisdom

00:29:18.379 --> 00:29:19.000
 achieved

00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:20.119
 that's what

00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:20.819
 grace has

00:29:20.819 --> 00:29:21.139
 done

00:29:21.139 --> 00:29:22.259
 that's what

00:29:22.259 --> 00:29:23.019
 mercy has

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.420
 done

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:25.019
 and you

00:29:25.019 --> 00:29:25.720
 and I

00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:26.240
 we're going

00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:26.759
 to be as

00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:27.200
 it were

00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:28.480
 examples

00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:29.059
 of that

00:29:29.059 --> 00:29:30.480
 because of

00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:30.779
 God's

00:29:30.779 --> 00:29:31.180
 grace

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:32.400
 the second

00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:32.940
 reason I

00:29:32.940 --> 00:29:33.240
 want to

00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:33.920
 concentrate on

00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:34.319
 just in

00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:34.639
 closing

00:29:34.639 --> 00:29:34.980
 and that

00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:35.180
 is

00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:35.819
 the one

00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:36.500
 that really

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:37.000
 comes to

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.319
 us from

00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:38.000
 that parable

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:39.380
 it says

00:29:39.380 --> 00:29:41.079
 for we are

00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:41.839
 his workmanship

00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:42.640
 created in

00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:43.359
 Christ Jesus

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:45.019
 for good

00:29:45.019 --> 00:29:45.460
 works

00:29:45.460 --> 00:29:46.779
 which God

00:29:46.779 --> 00:29:47.240
 prepared

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:47.740
 beforehand

00:29:47.740 --> 00:29:48.039
 that we

00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:48.539
 should walk

00:29:48.539 --> 00:29:48.859
 in them

00:29:48.859 --> 00:29:52.619
 God wants

00:29:52.619 --> 00:29:52.920
 us to

00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:53.299
 live for

00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:53.819
 his glory

00:29:53.819 --> 00:29:55.480
 he wants

00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:55.799
 us to

00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:56.380
 glorify

00:29:56.380 --> 00:29:57.680
 his name

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.119
 in the way

00:29:58.119 --> 00:29:58.579
 we live

00:29:58.579 --> 00:29:58.819
 and the

00:29:58.819 --> 00:29:59.160
 things we

00:29:59.160 --> 00:29:59.500
 do

00:29:59.500 --> 00:30:00.819
 we are

00:30:00.819 --> 00:30:01.059
 to be

00:30:01.059 --> 00:30:01.559
 a people

00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:02.559
 Paul tells

00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:02.859
 us in

00:30:02.859 --> 00:30:03.119
 another

00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:03.460
 place

00:30:03.460 --> 00:30:04.440
 zealous

00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:05.480
 for good

00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:05.980
 works

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:07.059
 in closing

00:30:07.059 --> 00:30:07.480
 I want to

00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:07.740
 look at

00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:08.579
 the example

00:30:08.579 --> 00:30:08.920
 of our

00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:09.339
 four

00:30:09.339 --> 00:30:10.420
 leprous

00:30:10.420 --> 00:30:10.980
 friends

00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:11.700
 they were

00:30:11.700 --> 00:30:12.160
 after having

00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:12.720
 the party

00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:13.660
 they were

00:30:13.660 --> 00:30:14.360
 after stashing

00:30:14.360 --> 00:30:14.980
 away some

00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:15.279
 of the

00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:16.220
 gold and

00:30:16.220 --> 00:30:16.579
 silver

00:30:16.579 --> 00:30:17.740
 hope they

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:18.120
 didn't put

00:30:18.120 --> 00:30:18.440
 it into

00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:19.079
 Anglo-Irish

00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:19.420
 Bank

00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:21.200
 and they

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:21.940
 wanted to

00:30:21.940 --> 00:30:22.319
 do

00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:23.099
 themselves

00:30:23.099 --> 00:30:23.440
 good

00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:23.799
 they said

00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:24.900
 life is going

00:30:24.900 --> 00:30:25.099
 to be

00:30:25.099 --> 00:30:25.779
 different now

00:30:25.779 --> 00:30:26.460
 we're rich

00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:27.599
 life is going

00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:28.059
 to be different

00:30:28.059 --> 00:30:28.680
 now we've got

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:29.180
 food and

00:30:29.180 --> 00:30:29.860
 clothing we've

00:30:29.860 --> 00:30:30.319
 got all we

00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:30.759
 need

00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.119
 but the

00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:33.519
 lepers

00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:36.559
 even in the

00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:36.859
 midst of

00:30:36.859 --> 00:30:37.379
 this awesome

00:30:37.379 --> 00:30:37.879
 provision

00:30:37.879 --> 00:30:39.799
 a realisation

00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:40.460
 gripped them

00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:42.440
 verse 9

00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:43.400
 of 2nd

00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:43.960
 Kings 7

00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:44.379
 says

00:30:44.379 --> 00:30:45.519
 then they

00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:45.879
 said one

00:30:45.879 --> 00:30:46.339
 to another

00:30:46.339 --> 00:30:47.819
 we do

00:30:47.819 --> 00:30:48.200
 not do

00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:48.599
 well

00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:49.680
 this day

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:50.099
 is a day

00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:50.920
 of good

00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:51.519
 tidings

00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:52.220
 and we

00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:52.720
 hold our

00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:53.140
 peace

00:30:53.140 --> 00:30:54.460
 if we

00:30:54.460 --> 00:30:54.960
 tarry till

00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:55.799
 morning light

00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:56.980
 some mischief

00:30:56.980 --> 00:30:57.339
 will come

00:30:57.339 --> 00:30:57.900
 upon us

00:30:57.900 --> 00:30:58.599
 now therefore

00:30:58.599 --> 00:30:59.019
 come

00:30:59.019 --> 00:30:59.500
 let us

00:30:59.500 --> 00:31:01.299
 go and

00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:01.720
 tell the

00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:02.160
 king's

00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:02.799
 household

00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:08.359
 they

00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:08.700
 remembered

00:31:08.700 --> 00:31:09.139
 the people

00:31:09.139 --> 00:31:09.400
 that were

00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:10.059
 behind those

00:31:10.059 --> 00:31:10.519
 walls

00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:11.440
 starving

00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:12.279
 they

00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:12.619
 remembered

00:31:12.619 --> 00:31:13.200
 those people

00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:13.420
 that were

00:31:13.420 --> 00:31:14.019
 behind those

00:31:14.019 --> 00:31:14.339
 walls

00:31:14.339 --> 00:31:14.980
 in bondage

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:15.259
 and in

00:31:15.259 --> 00:31:15.700
 darkness

00:31:15.700 --> 00:31:16.740
 they

00:31:16.740 --> 00:31:17.180
 remembered

00:31:17.180 --> 00:31:17.920
 these

00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:18.319
 people

00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:19.019
 even though

00:31:19.019 --> 00:31:19.400
 maybe

00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:20.720
 they might

00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:21.099
 have just

00:31:21.099 --> 00:31:21.519
 caused

00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:21.920
 not to

00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:22.660
 be very

00:31:22.660 --> 00:31:23.079
 kind

00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:23.500
 towards

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:23.740
 them

00:31:23.740 --> 00:31:24.680
 but they

00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:25.059
 remembered

00:31:25.059 --> 00:31:25.279
 them

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:25.639
 nonetheless

00:31:25.639 --> 00:31:26.079
 and they

00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:26.279
 said

00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:27.099
 we don't

00:31:27.099 --> 00:31:27.259
 do

00:31:27.259 --> 00:31:27.480
 well

00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:27.940
 this is a

00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:28.220
 day of

00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:29.000

00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:29.940
 to go

00:31:29.940 --> 00:31:30.339
 and tell

00:31:30.339 --> 00:31:30.599
 them

00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:31.640
 that they

00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:31.980
 can come

00:31:31.980 --> 00:31:32.460
 out from

00:31:32.460 --> 00:31:32.799
 behind

00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:33.140
 those

00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:33.640
 walls

00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:34.299
 they can

00:31:34.299 --> 00:31:34.759
 come out

00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:35.660
 from behind

00:31:35.660 --> 00:31:36.440
 their bondage

00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:37.039
 and they

00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:37.599
 can find

00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:38.259
 the provision

00:31:38.259 --> 00:31:38.640

00:32:44.299 --> 00:32:50.119
 do I

00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:50.480
 see the

00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:51.059
 awesomeness

00:32:51.059 --> 00:32:51.599
 that God

00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:52.000
 has done

00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:52.419
 for me

00:32:52.419 --> 00:32:53.220
 has it

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:53.419
 really

00:32:53.419 --> 00:32:54.079
 captured me

00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:54.419
 that I

00:32:54.419 --> 00:32:55.019
 am loved

00:32:55.019 --> 00:32:55.799
 by God

00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:56.559
 that I

00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:57.439
 am forgiven

00:32:57.439 --> 00:32:57.859
 that my

00:32:57.859 --> 00:32:58.379
 sin has

00:32:58.379 --> 00:32:59.179
 been removed

00:32:59.179 --> 00:32:59.939
 as far as

00:32:59.939 --> 00:33:00.359
 the east

00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:00.679
 is from

00:33:00.679 --> 00:33:01.240
 the west

00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:01.839
 has it

00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:02.199
 really

00:33:02.199 --> 00:33:02.819
 captured

00:33:02.819 --> 00:33:03.539
 my heart

00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:06.059
 I find

00:33:06.059 --> 00:33:06.299
 it no

00:33:06.299 --> 00:33:06.819
 wonder that

00:33:06.819 --> 00:33:07.220
 Paul

00:33:07.220 --> 00:33:08.019
 in Ephesians

00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:08.799
 chapter 3

00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:09.879
 and these

00:33:09.879 --> 00:33:10.379
 people that

00:33:10.379 --> 00:33:10.599
 he would

00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:10.839
 have been

00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:11.639
 praying for

00:33:11.639 --> 00:33:12.859
 were Christians

00:33:12.859 --> 00:33:13.419
 for quite a

00:33:13.419 --> 00:33:13.779
 period of

00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:14.159
 time at

00:33:14.159 --> 00:33:14.659
 this stage

00:33:14.659 --> 00:33:15.359
 and he

00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:15.980
 prays for

00:33:15.980 --> 00:33:16.240
 them that

00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:16.579
 they might

00:33:16.579 --> 00:33:17.019
 know the

00:33:17.019 --> 00:33:17.339
 love of

00:33:17.339 --> 00:33:17.779
 Christ

00:33:17.779 --> 00:33:19.059
 and pass

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:19.200
 his

00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:19.619
 knowledge

00:33:19.619 --> 00:33:21.399
 Paul

00:33:21.399 --> 00:33:21.980
 wanted if

00:33:21.980 --> 00:33:22.299
 you like

00:33:22.299 --> 00:33:23.619
 that God's

00:33:23.619 --> 00:33:24.099
 Holy Spirit

00:33:24.099 --> 00:33:24.500
 would take

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:25.099
 the great

00:33:25.099 --> 00:33:26.619
 truths of

00:33:26.619 --> 00:33:27.119
 salvation

00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:28.399
 and rub

00:33:28.399 --> 00:33:29.240
 them afresh

00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:30.579
 into the

00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:30.940
 people's

00:33:30.940 --> 00:33:31.359
 hearts

00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:32.119
 that they

00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:33.299
 would just

00:33:33.299 --> 00:33:33.859
 revel in

00:33:33.859 --> 00:33:34.240
 this great

00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:34.799
 goodness of

00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:35.039
 God

00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:35.940
 delight in

00:33:35.940 --> 00:33:36.359
 his great

00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:36.819
 mercy

00:33:36.819 --> 00:33:38.720
 be thrilled

00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:39.099
 with it

00:33:39.099 --> 00:33:39.399
 all

00:33:39.399 --> 00:33:40.059
 and then

00:33:40.059 --> 00:33:42.079
 and then

00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:42.559
 to go

00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:44.579
 there were

00:33:44.579 --> 00:33:45.059
 many other

00:33:45.059 --> 00:33:45.639
 works that

00:33:45.639 --> 00:33:46.599
 people were

00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:46.859
 to be

00:33:46.859 --> 00:33:47.539
 engaged in

00:33:47.539 --> 00:33:48.480
 but I

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:48.819
 think the

00:33:48.819 --> 00:33:49.599
 primary one

00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:51.079
 is to bring

00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:51.819
 this message

00:33:51.819 --> 00:33:53.779
 it's a day

00:33:53.779 --> 00:33:54.039
 of good

00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:54.619
