00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:07.660
 Let's turn together now to hear the Word of God in the New Testament, in Paul's letter to Romans and in chapter number 8.

00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:16.179
! Romans chapter 8, reading at the beginning of the chapter, down to verse number 17.

00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:16.179


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:37.399
 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.140
 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do.

00:00:42.939 --> 00:00:48.840
 By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.439
 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us,

00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:58.420
 who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

00:00:58.420 --> 00:01:03.800
 For those who live according to the flesh, set their minds on the things of the flesh.

00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.760
 For those who live according to the Spirit, set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:15.680
 To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:22.520
 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law.

00:01:22.859 --> 00:01:27.079
 Indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:33.920
 You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you.

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.980
 Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:46.140
 And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:51.040
 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,

00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:59.260
 he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:04.820
 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.020
 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die.

00:02:08.900 --> 00:02:13.080
 But if by the Spirit you be to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

00:02:14.140 --> 00:02:17.460
 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:22.540
 For you did not receive the Spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,

00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:28.460
 but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, Abba, Father.

00:02:29.379 --> 00:02:33.719
 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.340
 and of children then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ,

00:02:39.939 --> 00:02:46.460
 provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

00:02:46.460 --> 00:02:47.180
 Amen.

00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:48.140
 Amen.

00:02:48.219 --> 00:02:48.920
 This is God's word.

00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:52.400
 We trust that he will bless to us, reading from it.

00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.040
 We're now going to praise God from the Scottish Psalter from Psalm number 30.

00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:04.060
 And at the beginning of the psalm, Psalm number 30, it's on page 239.

00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:11.920
 Lord, I will thee extol, for thou hast lifted me on high,

00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.400
 and o'er me thou to rejoice, may it's not mine enemy.

00:03:16.460 --> 00:03:19.360
 From verse 1 to the verse mark 5, to God's praise.

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:20.560
 Amen.

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:20.599
 Amen.

00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:20.680
 Amen.

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:20.680


00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:20.680


00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:20.680


00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:20.680


00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:20.680


00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:20.680


00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:20.680


00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.680
 Amen.

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.680
 Amen.

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:24.680


00:03:46.460 --> 00:03:47.040
 Amen.

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:47.040


00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:55.120
 Rejoice, it's not mine enemy.

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:13.120
 O thou who art the Lord my God, I am distressed to thee.

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:29.120
 With thy cries lifted up my voice, and thou hast healed me.

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:45.120
 O Lord, my soul, thou hast brought up, and rescued from the grave.

00:04:45.120 --> 00:05:03.120
 That I to play should not go down, a life thou didst me save.

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:19.120
 O ye that are his holy ones, sing praise unto the Lord.

00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:35.120
 And give unto him times when ye this holiness reward.

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:52.120
 For but a moment lost his wrath, life in his favor lies.

00:05:52.120 --> 00:06:09.120
 We may fall and I endure, a Lord of joy arise.

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:17.000
 Let's turn together now to Paul's letter to Romans and chapter number 8.

00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.480
 And we're going to read at verse number 14.

00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:25.060
 Romans 8 and verse 14.

00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:47.459
 And so on down to verse number 17.

00:06:47.459 --> 00:06:58.579
 And I guess whatever we are looking at in life, if we have the opportunity to look from the outside inwards,

00:06:58.799 --> 00:07:02.240
 we can see something of the issues that are involved.

00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:08.500
 And at the beginning of our service this evening, we can perhaps pick up two lenses

00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:12.620
 that will help us to understand what this church looks like.

00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:17.040
 And that will help us, I hope, to understand what we look like ourselves.

00:07:18.300 --> 00:07:21.980
 And when we look at this church in Rome in the first place,

00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:26.500
 we see that in the masses of the population of the city,

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:29.720
 there was a mix of cultures,

00:07:30.340 --> 00:07:34.740
 and most of them were made up of Greeks and of Jews.

00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:39.680
 And in the culture of the church in Rome,

00:07:40.280 --> 00:07:41.579
 there were two issues.

00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:45.720
 And the Gentiles in the church in Rome,

00:07:46.420 --> 00:07:50.420
 they found fault with the traditional Jewish Christians

00:07:50.420 --> 00:07:54.100
 because of their observance of the Old Testament law

00:07:54.100 --> 00:07:57.500
 and maintained that they were out of touch with reality.

00:07:58.939 --> 00:08:00.420
 On the other hand,

00:08:01.420 --> 00:08:05.019
 the Jewish Christians looked at the Gentile Christians

00:08:05.019 --> 00:08:09.720
 and saw them as modern-day lawless Christians

00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:15.060
 because they did not keep the Old Testament laws as the Jews did.

00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:18.020
 And when Paul is writing this letter,

00:08:18.660 --> 00:08:19.920
 he is writing it to,

00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:23.340
 in a way, to level out the whole of the experience

00:08:23.340 --> 00:08:25.700
 of all of the different cultures in Rome

00:08:25.700 --> 00:08:30.040
 so that they would understand the error of their thinking

00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.519
 and so that they would respect each other in the Lord.

00:08:35.580 --> 00:08:40.220
 The second lens that helps us to see what this church was like

00:08:40.220 --> 00:08:43.759
 is that there were two particular groups of people

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.220
 that Paul is trying to address.

00:08:47.139 --> 00:08:48.680
 And the first of these is

00:08:48.680 --> 00:08:53.300
 there were those who were what we call self-righteous.

00:08:53.299 --> 00:08:56.879
 They saw themselves as good people.

00:08:57.740 --> 00:08:58.919
 They were upright people.

00:08:59.620 --> 00:09:01.079
 They were law-abiding citizens.

00:09:01.979 --> 00:09:03.559
 They were self-righteous.

00:09:04.419 --> 00:09:07.059
 But the problem with the self-righteous people in Rome,

00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:10.419
 as it is with the self-righteous people in Stornoway,

00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.500
 the problem is that they don't appreciate

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:15.639
 the passion and work of Christ.

00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.460
 And Paul, in his writing,

00:09:17.899 --> 00:09:20.199
 he is addressing these good people

00:09:20.199 --> 00:09:21.960
 who saw themselves as good

00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:23.939
 and saw themselves as good enough

00:09:23.939 --> 00:09:26.699
 and he wants them to understand the gospel.

00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:30.539
 The other group that we focus upon

00:09:30.539 --> 00:09:34.159
 is a group that were Christians

00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.539
 but they didn't understand that they were

00:09:37.539 --> 00:09:41.120
 and they lacked the assurance of their faith.

00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.740
 And as surely as it is important for Paul

00:09:44.740 --> 00:09:47.759
 to address those who think they're so good,

00:09:47.860 --> 00:09:48.379
 they're okay,

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:53.019
 Paul wants to address those who are Christians

00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:55.620
 and yet don't realize it.

00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.360
 He wants to give them the assurance of their faith.

00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:01.680
 And it's important for ourselves

00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:04.080
 to have that kind of lens

00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.799
 when we come to think of ourselves.

00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:09.940
 Where are we as we use these two lenses?

00:10:11.060 --> 00:10:12.220
 Are we good enough

00:10:12.220 --> 00:10:14.899
 and so good that we don't need the Lord Jesus?

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.940
 Are we Christians

00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:19.100
 but perhaps we don't realize that we are

00:10:19.100 --> 00:10:22.279
 and we struggle with anxiety and concern

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.399
 and we never come to a place

00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.420
 where we are sure.

00:10:26.419 --> 00:10:29.839
 and we know that

00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:32.399
 in the world in which we live

00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:36.139
 there is such an emphasis

00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:38.459
 on personal identity.

00:10:39.599 --> 00:10:42.779
 Who we are and who we think we are.

00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:46.419
 And there's a fluidity in that same

00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:48.159
 personal identity

00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.919
 so that we can move from being identified

00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.779
 as one thing to being identified as another.

00:10:53.779 --> 00:10:57.720
 There's a crisis of identity in society

00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:00.939
 and there is a crisis of identity

00:11:00.939 --> 00:11:02.620
 in the church

00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:04.399
 in the sense that

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.579
 where the gospel is preached

00:11:06.579 --> 00:11:10.159
 there is a transition in our identity.

00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:13.159
 We are either those sinners

00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.399
 who are lost with our grace and salvation

00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.199
 or we are those sinners

00:11:17.199 --> 00:11:19.279
 who are saved and who are in Christ.

00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.559
 And the nature of the gospel is

00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.199
 that God takes us from this place

00:11:24.199 --> 00:11:26.399
 to that place.

00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:27.939
 From being lost sinners

00:11:27.939 --> 00:11:30.799
 to being sinners saved by grace.

00:11:31.839 --> 00:11:34.299
 And I want us to bear these things in mind

00:11:34.299 --> 00:11:36.399
 and as we look at these verses

00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:39.220
 to consider our Christian identity

00:11:39.220 --> 00:11:41.579
 and our status as

00:11:41.579 --> 00:11:44.740
 the sons, the children of God.

00:11:44.740 --> 00:11:48.039
 First of all, I want us to notice

00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.019
 that there is confusion

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:53.360
 facing us in these verses.

00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.740
 And the confusion is with regard

00:11:56.740 --> 00:11:59.279
 to the characteristic

00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.120
 that makes us the children of God.

00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:04.560
 There is only one way this evening

00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:05.980
 that we are Christians.

00:12:05.980 --> 00:12:07.840
 There is only one way this evening

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.960
 that we are the children of God.

00:12:10.700 --> 00:12:11.580
 And through these verses

00:12:11.580 --> 00:12:14.340
 Paul lays his finger on that.

00:12:14.740 --> 00:12:16.360
 It's those who have

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.779
 the Spirit of God.

00:12:20.299 --> 00:12:21.620
 And it's important for us

00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:23.419
 to always remember

00:12:23.419 --> 00:12:25.519
 that in our thinking

00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.700
 that we think the Holy Spirit

00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:29.440
 is so much lesser

00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:30.860
 than God the Father

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:31.720
 and the Lord Jesus.

00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:34.940
 When we read about the Spirit of God

00:12:34.940 --> 00:12:36.460
 anywhere in the Bible

00:12:36.460 --> 00:12:38.139
 there's an equality

00:12:38.139 --> 00:12:39.700
 at the level at which

00:12:39.700 --> 00:12:40.980
 the Holy Spirit

00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:42.840
 is held in honour

00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:44.399
 and respected

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.860
 and he has the same level

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:48.240
 of honour and respect

00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.180
 as God does

00:12:50.180 --> 00:12:52.940
 and as the Son of God does.

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.920
 And what marks us out this evening

00:12:55.920 --> 00:12:57.680
 and in any other time in life

00:12:57.680 --> 00:12:59.180
 as the children of God

00:12:59.180 --> 00:13:00.740
 is what we see referred to

00:13:00.740 --> 00:13:01.220
 for example

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:02.720
 in verse number 9

00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.740
 where he speaks about

00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:06.240
 the Spirit of God

00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.259
 dwelling in you.

00:13:08.259 --> 00:13:12.240
 And remarkably

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.799
 for you and I this evening

00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.379
 if your life is going to be changed

00:13:17.379 --> 00:13:20.939
 it's God coming home to you.

00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:24.019
 It's a wonderful thought

00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:27.139
 that the eternal God

00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:28.840
 in all of his power

00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:29.879
 and in all of his glory

00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:31.879
 that for us to become

00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:32.840
 the children of God

00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:34.659
 he is coming to dwell

00:13:34.659 --> 00:13:35.500
 in our hearts.

00:13:35.500 --> 00:13:38.399
 Our hearts are to be

00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:39.279
 his home.

00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:41.740
 God is in that sense

00:13:41.740 --> 00:13:43.620
 coming home to us

00:13:43.620 --> 00:13:45.059
 to dwell with us

00:13:45.059 --> 00:13:45.779
 forever.

00:13:47.299 --> 00:13:48.320
 He's not coming

00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:49.179
 as a visitor

00:13:49.179 --> 00:13:50.980
 who's going to speak to us

00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:51.639
 through his word

00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:52.500
 this evening

00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:53.679
 in the church

00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:54.360
 in Kenner Street.

00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:55.360
 He is

00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.620
 the Holy Spirit of God

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:59.379
 who will be with us

00:13:59.379 --> 00:14:00.259
 forever.

00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:02.860
 And we should

00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:04.659
 never be so confused

00:14:04.659 --> 00:14:05.519
 in our thinking

00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.100
 that we think

00:14:07.100 --> 00:14:08.539
 we can be Christians

00:14:08.539 --> 00:14:09.919
 and we can be

00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:10.860
 the children of God

00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:12.200
 without this

00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:13.580
 God coming home

00:14:13.580 --> 00:14:14.240
 to you.

00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:16.820
 And in all of your

00:14:16.820 --> 00:14:17.759
 thinking this evening

00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:18.779
 as we enter into

00:14:18.779 --> 00:14:20.300
 looking at these words

00:14:20.300 --> 00:14:22.100
 we remind ourselves

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:24.240
 of that important fact

00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.820
 if you're a child of God

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:27.620
 it is because

00:14:27.620 --> 00:14:28.940
 of what the Spirit

00:14:28.940 --> 00:14:30.000
 of God has done

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:31.480
 and not because

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:32.860
 of what you have done.

00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:35.159
 And when we think

00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:36.799
 of that characteristic

00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:37.919
 that makes us

00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.100
 the children of God

00:14:39.100 --> 00:14:41.899
 let us notice also

00:14:41.899 --> 00:14:43.899
 that God does not

00:14:43.899 --> 00:14:45.799
 make a forced entry

00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.740
 into our hearts

00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:47.679
 to make us

00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:48.700
 the children of God.

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.620
 In this moment

00:14:50.620 --> 00:14:51.559
 at which we become

00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:52.700
 the children of God

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:54.659
 he comes to dwell

00:14:54.659 --> 00:14:55.120
 with us

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:56.320
 and as we read

00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:57.679
 in version number 15

00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.060
 you have received

00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:00.720
 the Spirit.

00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:03.519
 And the whole picture

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.240
 that we have

00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.019
 in receiving everything

00:15:06.019 --> 00:15:07.820
 is welcoming.

00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.060
 It's going to my door

00:15:11.060 --> 00:15:12.159
 and seeing who's

00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:12.759
 at the door

00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:14.179
 and welcoming

00:15:14.179 --> 00:15:14.860
 this person

00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:15.779
 with open arms

00:15:15.779 --> 00:15:16.620
 because we have

00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:17.700
 longed to see them.

00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:20.419
 It's that welcome

00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:21.120
 of faith

00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.080
 that self-prompted

00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:24.660
 action

00:15:24.660 --> 00:15:25.400
 that movement

00:15:25.400 --> 00:15:26.139
 of our hearts

00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:27.500
 that receives

00:15:27.500 --> 00:15:28.340
 and welcomes

00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:29.660
 the Spirit of God.

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:32.840
 And however much

00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:33.680
 we understand

00:15:33.680 --> 00:15:34.460
 what it means

00:15:34.460 --> 00:15:35.759
 to be the children

00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:36.320
 of God

00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:37.879
 if we are

00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:38.820
 children of God

00:15:38.820 --> 00:15:39.200
 tonight

00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:40.040
 we will know

00:15:40.040 --> 00:15:41.259
 something of that

00:15:41.259 --> 00:15:41.900
 welcome

00:15:41.900 --> 00:15:44.200
 something of God

00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:45.420
 coming home to us

00:15:45.420 --> 00:15:46.840
 as if he comes

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:47.920
 to knock on the door

00:15:47.920 --> 00:15:48.660
 of our hearts

00:15:48.660 --> 00:15:50.100
 which by grace

00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:51.040
 he opens himself

00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:52.060
 and we

00:15:52.060 --> 00:15:53.240
 welcome

00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:54.740
 the Spirit

00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:55.340
 of God

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:56.480
 into our hearts.

00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:58.799
 No one ever

00:15:58.799 --> 00:15:59.639
 had salvation

00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:00.700
 pushed down

00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:01.200
 their throats

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:01.840
 by God.

00:16:03.419 --> 00:16:04.000
 It is

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:05.060
 the point

00:16:05.060 --> 00:16:05.500
 at which

00:16:05.500 --> 00:16:06.980
 two parties

00:16:06.980 --> 00:16:08.019
 who were estranged

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:09.060
 from each other

00:16:09.060 --> 00:16:10.539
 suddenly come

00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:11.100
 together

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:12.720
 embrace each other

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.680
 and God

00:16:13.680 --> 00:16:14.600
 comes to dwell

00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:15.639
 in the

00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:16.240
 person's

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:17.600
 heart.

00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:19.879
 And Paul

00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:20.519
 Paul says

00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:20.879
 in version

00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:21.340
 number 9

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:21.700
 of this

00:16:21.700 --> 00:16:21.980
 chapter

00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:22.240
 that

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:23.299
 the person

00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:23.980
 who does

00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:24.679
 not have

00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:26.639
 the Spirit

00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:27.360
 of Christ

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:28.980
 does not

00:16:28.980 --> 00:16:30.299
 belong

00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:31.100
 to Christ.

00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:33.100
 And as we

00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:33.559
 look further

00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:34.379
 into the confusion

00:16:34.379 --> 00:16:35.860
 it is

00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:36.539
 important

00:16:36.539 --> 00:16:37.320
 for you

00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:38.179
 and for me

00:16:38.179 --> 00:16:40.039
 to recognize

00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:40.740
 that

00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:42.159
 critical fact.

00:16:43.419 --> 00:16:44.120
 Could you

00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:45.179
 be confused

00:16:45.179 --> 00:16:46.659
 into thinking

00:16:46.659 --> 00:16:47.139
 that you are

00:16:47.139 --> 00:16:47.740
 the child

00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:48.199
 of God

00:16:48.199 --> 00:16:49.120
 and this

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:49.699
 has not

00:16:49.699 --> 00:16:50.559
 happened

00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:51.059
 to you.

00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:52.279
 It is

00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:52.860
 the work

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:53.379
 of God

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:54.439
 that opens

00:16:54.439 --> 00:16:55.019
 the hearts

00:16:55.019 --> 00:16:55.699
 of the sinner

00:16:55.699 --> 00:16:56.220
 like you

00:16:56.220 --> 00:16:56.980
 and like me

00:16:56.980 --> 00:16:57.860
 so that

00:16:57.860 --> 00:16:58.460
 he himself

00:16:58.460 --> 00:16:59.439
 comes into

00:16:59.439 --> 00:16:59.919
 our hearts

00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:00.980
 and brings

00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:01.559
 about

00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:02.759
 that change.

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:04.819
 And perhaps

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:06.160
 one of the

00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:07.579
 signs of that

00:17:07.579 --> 00:17:08.339
 already taking

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:08.740
 place

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:09.740
 is what

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:10.599
 Jesus

00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:11.339
 promises

00:17:11.339 --> 00:17:12.259
 in John

00:17:12.259 --> 00:17:13.019
 chapter 16

00:17:13.019 --> 00:17:14.139
 when the Holy

00:17:14.139 --> 00:17:14.859
 Spirit comes

00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:15.439
 to dwell

00:17:15.439 --> 00:17:15.699
 in our

00:17:15.699 --> 00:17:15.979
 hearts

00:17:15.979 --> 00:17:16.799
 he will

00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:17.199
 do many

00:17:17.199 --> 00:17:17.539
 things

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:18.019
 but one

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:18.259
 of the

00:17:18.259 --> 00:17:18.539
 things

00:17:18.539 --> 00:17:18.879
 he will

00:17:18.879 --> 00:17:19.059
 do

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:19.240
 is

00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:20.119
 he will

00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:20.619
 take

00:17:20.619 --> 00:17:21.000
 what

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:21.599
 belongs

00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:22.299
 to Jesus

00:17:22.299 --> 00:17:23.439
 and he

00:17:23.439 --> 00:17:23.959
 will show

00:17:23.959 --> 00:17:24.419
 it to you.

00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:26.459
 And here

00:17:26.459 --> 00:17:27.000
 is the

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.479
 clear indication

00:17:28.479 --> 00:17:29.699
 that God

00:17:29.699 --> 00:17:30.659
 has changed

00:17:30.659 --> 00:17:31.219
 my heart

00:17:31.219 --> 00:17:31.500
 and God

00:17:31.500 --> 00:17:32.059
 has changed

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:32.579
 your heart

00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:33.679
 if suddenly

00:17:33.679 --> 00:17:34.199
 you see

00:17:34.199 --> 00:17:35.439
 Jesus Christ

00:17:35.439 --> 00:17:36.319
 in a way

00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:36.619
 that you

00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:37.099
 have never

00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:38.039
 seen before

00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:39.279
 and in a way

00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:39.740
 that makes

00:17:39.740 --> 00:17:40.519
 you leave

00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:41.159
 everything else

00:17:41.159 --> 00:17:41.579
 behind

00:17:41.579 --> 00:17:42.639
 and realize

00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:44.100
 that Jesus

00:17:44.100 --> 00:17:44.560
 Christ

00:17:44.560 --> 00:17:45.140
 is my

00:17:45.140 --> 00:17:45.660
 savior

00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:46.660
 I am

00:17:46.660 --> 00:17:47.360
 saved by

00:17:47.360 --> 00:17:47.840
 grace

00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:48.320
 alone

00:17:48.320 --> 00:17:48.940
 on the

00:17:48.940 --> 00:17:49.320
 basis

00:17:49.320 --> 00:17:50.060
 of what

00:17:50.060 --> 00:17:50.520
 Christ

00:17:50.520 --> 00:17:51.120
 alone

00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:52.000
 has done

00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.259
 that's

00:17:53.259 --> 00:17:54.000
 the defining

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:55.000
 characteristic

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.280
 and it is

00:17:57.280 --> 00:17:58.080
 with regard

00:17:58.080 --> 00:17:59.040
 to that

00:17:59.040 --> 00:17:59.520
 characteristic

00:17:59.520 --> 00:18:00.840
 that we

00:18:00.840 --> 00:18:01.300
 find

00:18:01.300 --> 00:18:02.500
 confusion

00:18:02.500 --> 00:18:03.180
 in this

00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:03.580
 passage

00:18:03.580 --> 00:18:05.180
 and we

00:18:05.180 --> 00:18:05.620
 see that

00:18:05.620 --> 00:18:06.160
 confusion

00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:06.520
 in verse

00:18:06.520 --> 00:18:06.800
 number

00:18:06.800 --> 00:18:07.440
 15

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:08.660
 for you

00:18:08.660 --> 00:18:09.060
 did not

00:18:09.060 --> 00:18:09.540
 receive

00:18:09.540 --> 00:18:10.080
 the spirit

00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:10.800
 of slavery

00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:11.960
 to fall

00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:12.319
 back

00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:12.619
 into

00:18:12.619 --> 00:18:13.339
 fear

00:18:13.339 --> 00:18:16.819
 the spirit

00:18:16.819 --> 00:18:17.779
 is not

00:18:17.779 --> 00:18:18.399
 the one

00:18:18.399 --> 00:18:19.839
 who produces

00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:21.319
 slavery

00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:23.419
 and whether

00:18:23.419 --> 00:18:23.960
 they're Jews

00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:24.819
 or Gentiles

00:18:24.819 --> 00:18:25.700
 whoever they

00:18:25.700 --> 00:18:26.059
 are

00:18:26.059 --> 00:18:27.220
 the history

00:18:27.220 --> 00:18:27.940
 is such

00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:28.299
 that

00:18:28.299 --> 00:18:29.799
 they were

00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:30.599
 slaves

00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:32.220
 ask a Jew

00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:32.740
 what slavery

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:33.180
 means

00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:35.019
 and the Jew

00:18:35.019 --> 00:18:35.579
 will tell you

00:18:35.579 --> 00:18:36.319
 the children

00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:36.659
 of Israel

00:18:36.659 --> 00:18:37.480
 were slaves

00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:38.359
 in the land

00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:39.079
 of Egypt

00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:40.480
 they were

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:41.179
 pushed into

00:18:41.179 --> 00:18:41.839
 serving the

00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:42.339
 Egyptians

00:18:42.339 --> 00:18:43.619
 they knew

00:18:43.619 --> 00:18:44.439
 what slavery

00:18:44.439 --> 00:18:44.980
 was

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:45.919
 they knew

00:18:45.919 --> 00:18:46.359
 what a hard

00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:47.099
 taskmaster

00:18:47.099 --> 00:18:47.599
 was

00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:48.379
 they knew

00:18:48.379 --> 00:18:48.779
 what it was

00:18:48.779 --> 00:18:49.539
 to fear

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:50.599
 the taskmaster

00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.339
 and the

00:18:53.339 --> 00:18:53.839
 confusion

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:54.240
 here

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:55.460
 in Rome

00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:55.859
 is such

00:18:55.859 --> 00:18:56.159
 that

00:18:56.159 --> 00:18:57.740
 those who

00:18:57.740 --> 00:18:58.019
 have the

00:18:58.019 --> 00:18:58.460
 spirit of

00:18:58.460 --> 00:18:58.759
 God

00:18:58.759 --> 00:18:59.079
 in their

00:18:59.079 --> 00:18:59.480
 hearts

00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:01.000
 the spirit

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:01.319
 that we

00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:01.659
 see at the

00:19:01.659 --> 00:19:01.919
 beginning

00:19:01.919 --> 00:19:02.240
 of this

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:02.539
 chapter

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:03.359
 bringing

00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:03.720
 about

00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:04.539
 freedom

00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:06.579
 are actually

00:19:06.579 --> 00:19:08.199
 falling back

00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:08.759
 again

00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:10.900
 returning

00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:11.259
 to

00:19:11.259 --> 00:19:11.920
 the

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:12.319
 sense

00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:12.900
 of

00:19:12.900 --> 00:19:15.319
 slavery

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.360
 they were

00:19:17.360 --> 00:19:17.819
 rescued

00:19:17.819 --> 00:19:18.420
 from the

00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:18.940
 fear

00:19:18.940 --> 00:19:19.299
 of the

00:19:19.299 --> 00:19:20.019
 taskmaster

00:19:20.019 --> 00:19:21.360
 who expected

00:19:21.360 --> 00:19:22.319
 them to

00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:23.160
 give perfect

00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:23.680
 obedience

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:24.160
 to his

00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:24.819
 most holy

00:19:24.819 --> 00:19:25.240
 law

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:26.559
 they had

00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:27.220
 that fear

00:19:27.220 --> 00:19:27.880
 of God

00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:28.840
 it was a

00:19:28.840 --> 00:19:29.700
 slavish fear

00:19:29.700 --> 00:19:30.559
 and God

00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:31.059
 has rescued

00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:31.620
 them from

00:19:31.620 --> 00:19:31.900
 that

00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:32.799
 but now

00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:33.160
 they're

00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:33.840
 reverting

00:19:33.840 --> 00:19:34.360
 to that

00:19:34.360 --> 00:19:35.019
 default

00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:35.700
 position

00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:36.860
 where they

00:19:36.860 --> 00:19:37.220
 see

00:19:37.220 --> 00:19:37.759
 themselves

00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:38.779
 having

00:19:38.779 --> 00:19:39.140
 to

00:19:39.140 --> 00:19:40.180
 keep

00:19:40.180 --> 00:19:40.319
 the

00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:40.440
 law

00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:40.559
 of

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:40.759
 God

00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:41.779
 perfectly

00:19:41.779 --> 00:19:43.140
 and

00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:43.539
 because

00:19:43.539 --> 00:19:43.799
 they

00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:44.600
 see

00:19:44.600 --> 00:19:44.799
 that

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:44.940
 they're

00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:45.140
 not

00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:45.420
 able

00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:45.620
 to

00:19:45.620 --> 00:19:45.960
 do

00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:46.319
 that

00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:47.039
 instead

00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:47.299
 of

00:19:47.299 --> 00:19:48.019
 enjoying

00:19:48.019 --> 00:19:48.240
 their

00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:48.759
 freedom

00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:49.480
 they're

00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:49.680
 going

00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:50.080
 about

00:19:50.080 --> 00:19:50.420
 with

00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:51.140
 anxiety

00:19:51.140 --> 00:19:52.480
 with

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:52.720
 no

00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.480
 assurance

00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:54.880
 and

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:57.259
 doubtless

00:19:57.259 --> 00:19:58.059
 doubting

00:19:58.059 --> 00:19:58.340
 their

00:19:58.340 --> 00:19:58.840
 very

00:19:58.840 --> 00:19:59.819
 conversion

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:00.080
 to

00:20:00.080 --> 00:20:00.460
 Christ

00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:00.920
 and

00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:01.240
 their

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:01.759
 being

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:02.039
 the

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:02.559
 children

00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:03.080
 of

00:20:03.080 --> 00:20:03.819
 God

00:20:03.819 --> 00:20:09.259
 confusion

00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:11.319
 that

00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:11.919
 arises

00:20:11.919 --> 00:20:13.179
 between

00:20:13.179 --> 00:20:13.439
 the

00:20:13.439 --> 00:20:13.799
 freedom

00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:14.179
 that

00:20:14.179 --> 00:20:14.700
 God

00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:15.159
 gives

00:20:15.159 --> 00:20:16.119
 by

00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:16.339
 a

00:20:16.339 --> 00:20:16.659
 spirit

00:20:16.659 --> 00:20:16.939
 in

00:20:16.939 --> 00:20:17.339
 Christ

00:20:17.339 --> 00:20:19.000
 and

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:19.700
 the

00:20:19.700 --> 00:20:20.759
 inclination

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.179
 that we

00:20:21.179 --> 00:20:21.659
 have to

00:20:21.659 --> 00:20:22.740
 always

00:20:22.740 --> 00:20:23.559
 look at

00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:24.200
 fulfilling

00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:24.819
 God's

00:20:24.819 --> 00:20:25.059
 law

00:20:25.059 --> 00:20:25.779
 to be

00:20:25.779 --> 00:20:26.359
 accepted

00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:26.879
 by

00:20:26.879 --> 00:20:27.200
 him

00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:29.899
 and

00:20:29.899 --> 00:20:30.079
 I'm

00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:30.359
 fairly

00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:31.059
 confident

00:20:31.059 --> 00:20:32.359
 that in

00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:32.559
 this

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:32.939
 gathering

00:20:32.939 --> 00:20:33.359
 tonight

00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:33.899
 there

 to

 know

 that

 I'm

 simply

 it's

00:21:40.340 --> 00:21:41.140
 it's

00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:41.260
 a

 question

 we

 ourselves

00:21:43.219 --> 00:21:44.739
 how

00:21:44.739 --> 00:21:45.139
 much

00:21:45.139 --> 00:21:46.159
 will

00:21:46.159 --> 00:21:46.339
 our

00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:46.859

 we

00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:06.739
 have

 the

 his

00:22:26.120 --> 00:22:29.300
 secondly

00:22:29.300 --> 00:22:30.980
 there is

00:22:30.980 --> 00:22:31.600
 a

00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:32.340
 correction

00:22:32.340 --> 00:22:34.320
 and we

00:22:34.320 --> 00:22:34.720
 see the

 correction

00:22:35.180 --> 00:22:35.560
 in that

 not

00:22:37.220 --> 00:22:37.600
 receive

00:22:37.980 --> 00:22:38.140
 of

 slavery

00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:38.700
 to

00:31:27.099 --> 00:31:27.460
 that

00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:28.019
 speaks

00:31:28.019 --> 00:31:28.379
 of

00:31:28.379 --> 00:31:30.099
 warmth

00:31:30.099 --> 00:31:31.559
 of

00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:32.220
 intimacy

00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:33.500
 of

00:31:33.500 --> 00:31:34.079
 love

00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:35.119
 and

00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:35.319
 of

00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:35.839
 care

00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:37.420
 my

00:31:37.420 --> 00:31:38.339
 father

00:31:38.339 --> 00:31:42.039
 and

00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:42.200
 it

00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:42.559
 is

00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:43.960
 a

00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:44.299
 cry

00:31:44.299 --> 00:31:44.680
 that

00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:45.599
 remarkably

00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:46.819
 we

00:31:46.819 --> 00:31:47.359
 share

00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:47.619
 with

00:31:47.619 --> 00:31:47.779
 the

00:31:47.779 --> 00:31:47.980
 Lord

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.399
 Jesus

00:31:48.399 --> 00:31:49.559
 himself

00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:51.399
 in

00:31:51.399 --> 00:31:51.539
 the

00:31:51.539 --> 00:31:51.819
 garden

00:31:51.819 --> 00:31:52.019
 of

00:31:52.019 --> 00:31:52.680
 Gethsemane

00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:53.759
 in

00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:54.080
 the

00:31:54.080 --> 00:31:54.740
 emergency

00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:55.039
 in

00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:55.160
 the

00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:55.660
 crisis

00:31:55.660 --> 00:31:56.100
 of

00:31:56.100 --> 00:31:56.960
 going

00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:57.120
 to

00:31:57.120 --> 00:31:57.279
 the

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:57.660
 cross

00:31:57.660 --> 00:31:58.000
 and

00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:58.140
 the

00:31:58.140 --> 00:31:58.580
 darkness

00:31:58.580 --> 00:31:58.860
 of

00:31:58.860 --> 00:31:59.080
 that

00:31:59.080 --> 00:31:59.620
 moment

00:31:59.620 --> 00:32:01.500
 Abba

00:32:01.500 --> 00:32:02.240
 Father

00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:03.680
 all

00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:04.100
 things

00:32:04.100 --> 00:32:04.400
 are

00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:04.940
 possible

00:32:04.940 --> 00:32:05.519
 with

00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:06.240
 you

00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:07.480
 there's

00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:07.620
 a

00:32:07.620 --> 00:32:08.440
 closeness

00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:09.360
 there's

00:32:09.360 --> 00:32:09.860
 a sense

00:32:09.860 --> 00:32:10.320
 of a

00:32:10.320 --> 00:32:11.000
 bond

00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:11.759
 there's

00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:12.160
 a sense

00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:12.460
 of an

00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:13.080
 unbreakable

00:32:13.080 --> 00:32:13.900
 relationship

00:32:13.900 --> 00:32:15.120
 the

00:32:15.120 --> 00:32:15.580
 situation

00:32:15.580 --> 00:32:15.820
 is

00:32:15.820 --> 00:32:16.440
 changing

00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:17.600
 but it

00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:18.080
 doesn't

00:32:18.080 --> 00:32:18.600
 alter

00:32:18.600 --> 00:32:19.400
 the

00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:19.920
 cry

00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:20.960
 of

00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:21.160
 the

00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:21.500
 son

00:32:21.500 --> 00:32:21.820
 to

00:32:21.820 --> 00:32:22.000
 the

00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:22.360
 father

00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:23.379
 Abba

00:32:23.379 --> 00:32:25.019
 father

00:32:25.019 --> 00:32:26.939
 and

00:32:26.939 --> 00:32:28.299
 perhaps

00:32:28.299 --> 00:32:28.679
 it is

00:32:28.679 --> 00:32:28.939
 worth

00:32:28.939 --> 00:32:29.500
 noticing

00:32:29.500 --> 00:32:30.740
 that

00:32:30.740 --> 00:32:30.939
 the

00:32:30.939 --> 00:32:31.279
 same

00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:31.759
 Jesus

00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:32.179
 who

00:32:32.179 --> 00:32:32.579
 says

00:32:32.579 --> 00:32:33.039
 Abba

00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:33.599
 father

00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:33.919
 in

00:32:33.919 --> 00:32:34.079
 the

00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:34.500
 garden

00:32:34.500 --> 00:32:35.279
 is

00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:35.459
 the

00:32:35.459 --> 00:32:35.719
 same

00:32:35.719 --> 00:32:36.039
 Jesus

00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:36.279
 who

00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:36.579
 goes

00:32:36.579 --> 00:32:36.740
 to

00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:36.899
 the

00:32:36.899 --> 00:32:37.179
 cross

00:32:37.179 --> 00:32:37.619
 and

00:32:37.619 --> 00:32:38.159
 who

00:32:38.159 --> 00:32:38.399
 says

00:32:38.399 --> 00:32:38.659
 my

00:32:38.659 --> 00:32:39.019
 God

00:32:39.019 --> 00:32:39.259
 my

00:32:39.259 --> 00:32:39.599
 God

00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:40.179
 why

00:32:40.179 --> 00:32:40.359
 have

00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:40.519
 you

00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:41.500
 forsaken

00:32:41.500 --> 00:32:41.899
 me

00:32:41.899 --> 00:32:44.159
 there

00:32:44.159 --> 00:32:44.559
 is

00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:44.740
 at

00:32:44.740 --> 00:32:44.899
 least

00:32:44.899 --> 00:32:45.319
 the

00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:46.079
 suggestion

00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:47.679
 that

00:32:47.679 --> 00:32:48.019
 when I

00:32:48.019 --> 00:32:48.339
 address

00:32:48.339 --> 00:32:48.699
 God

00:32:48.699 --> 00:32:48.939
 as

00:32:48.939 --> 00:32:49.240
 my

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:49.579
 God

00:32:49.579 --> 00:32:50.179
 it

00:32:50.179 --> 00:32:50.419
 may

00:32:50.419 --> 00:32:50.559
 be

00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:50.639
 in

00:32:50.639 --> 00:32:50.779
 a

00:32:50.779 --> 00:32:51.000
 place

00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:51.199
 of

00:32:51.199 --> 00:32:51.679
 crisis

00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:52.240
 but

00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:52.400
 it

00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:52.759
 does

00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:53.220
 speak

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:53.500
 of

00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:54.980
 distance

00:32:54.980 --> 00:32:56.019
 whereas

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:56.460
 when I

00:32:56.460 --> 00:32:56.820
 address

00:32:56.820 --> 00:32:57.220
 God

 my

00:32:58.220 --> 00:32:58.720
 father

00:32:58.720 --> 00:32:59.220
 it

00:32:59.220 --> 00:32:59.620
 does

00:32:59.620 --> 00:33:00.500
 suggest

00:33:00.500 --> 00:33:02.539
 intimacy

00:33:02.539 --> 00:33:05.299
 and

00:33:05.299 --> 00:33:05.799
 tonight

00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:07.460
 what is

00:33:07.460 --> 00:33:08.880
 your

00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:10.140
 prayer life

00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:10.900

00:33:10.900 --> 00:33:11.279
 it look

00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:11.539
 like

00:33:11.539 --> 00:33:12.560
 or what

 your

00:33:17.899 --> 00:33:18.000
 it

00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:21.579
 loudly

00:33:21.579 --> 00:33:21.980
 of

 your

00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:22.819
 distance

 from

 God

 speaks

00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:27.000
 loudly

00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:27.379
 of

00:33:27.379 --> 00:33:27.579
 your

00:33:27.579 --> 00:33:28.399
 closeness

 to

00:33:29.259 --> 00:33:31.339
 and

00:33:31.339 --> 00:33:31.859
 sometimes

00:33:31.859 --> 00:33:32.779
 in the

00:33:32.779 --> 00:33:33.240
 life of

00:33:34.639 --> 00:33:34.919
 was

00:33:34.919 --> 00:33:35.919
 claimed

00:33:35.919 --> 00:33:36.259
 to be

00:33:36.259 --> 00:33:36.500
 a

00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:36.740
 sign

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:36.919
 of

00:33:36.919 --> 00:33:37.480
 humility

00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:38.899
 if

00:33:38.899 --> 00:33:39.099
 we

00:33:39.099 --> 00:33:39.339
 did

00:33:39.339 --> 00:33:39.679
 not

00:33:39.679 --> 00:33:40.159
 use

 the

00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:42.440
 address

00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:46.660
 clear

00:33:46.660 --> 00:33:47.100
 as

00:36:22.799 --> 00:36:23.239
 God

00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:24.219
 no one

00:36:24.219 --> 00:36:24.460
 knows

00:36:24.460 --> 00:36:24.719
 that

00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:24.980
 but

00:36:24.980 --> 00:36:25.340
 you

00:36:25.340 --> 00:36:25.960
 alone

00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:28.480
 but the

00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:28.880
 picture that

00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:36.139
 that it

00:36:36.139 --> 00:36:36.619
 is the

00:36:36.619 --> 00:36:36.980
 place

00:36:36.980 --> 00:36:37.619
 for this

00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:40.480
 evidences

00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:41.000
 and for

00:36:43.780 --> 00:36:44.599
 out!

00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:47.320
 And the

00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:47.619

00:36:47.619 --> 00:36:48.119
 himself

00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:49.059
 bears

00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:49.720
 witness

00:36:49.720 --> 00:36:51.679
 that we

00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:52.240
 are

00:36:52.240 --> 00:36:54.019

00:36:54.380 --> 00:36:55.599
 of God

00:36:55.599 --> 00:36:57.679
 at the

00:36:57.679 --> 00:36:57.900
 very

00:36:57.900 --> 00:36:58.299
 outset

00:36:58.299 --> 00:36:58.599
 we

00:36:58.599 --> 00:36:58.920
 spoke

00:36:58.920 --> 00:36:59.159
 about

00:36:59.159 --> 00:36:59.299
 the

00:36:59.299 --> 00:36:59.480
 way

00:36:59.480 --> 00:36:59.799
 in which

00:36:59.799 --> 00:37:00.559
 when

00:37:11.500 --> 00:37:11.699
 as

00:37:11.699 --> 00:37:11.860
 we

00:37:11.860 --> 00:37:12.099

 our

00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:13.000
 journey

00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:14.239
 the

00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:14.639
 spirit

00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:15.159
 speaks

00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:15.400
 about

00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:15.719
 that

00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:16.159

00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:17.039
 and

 we

00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:17.699
 remember

00:37:17.699 --> 00:37:18.059
 that

00:37:18.059 --> 00:37:18.440

00:37:22.819 --> 00:37:23.420
 that

00:37:23.420 --> 00:37:23.599
 we

00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:23.940
 are

00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:31.259
 may

00:37:31.259 --> 00:37:31.559
 doubt

 the

 key

00:37:38.500 --> 00:37:39.099
 witness

00:37:39.099 --> 00:37:40.219

 Holy

00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:41.319
 Spirit

00:37:41.319 --> 00:37:41.779
 himself

00:37:41.779 --> 00:37:42.440
 who

00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:42.659
 has

00:37:42.659 --> 00:37:43.059
 worked

00:37:43.059 --> 00:37:43.420

 God

00:37:45.299 --> 00:37:46.059
 he

00:37:46.059 --> 00:37:46.519
 bears

00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:47.239

00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:48.299
 with

00:37:57.160 --> 00:37:58.240
 strongly

00:37:58.240 --> 00:38:00.860

 space

 recreation

00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:13.760
 we

 have

00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:14.240
 space

 make

 space

 for

 these

00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:18.680
 things

00:38:18.679 --> 00:38:19.940
 justifiably

00:38:19.940 --> 00:38:20.980
 as part

 we

00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:24.399
 must

 we do

 that

 culture

00:38:36.339 --> 00:38:36.779
 in which

00:38:36.779 --> 00:38:36.980
 we

00:38:36.980 --> 00:38:37.139
 live

00:38:37.139 --> 00:38:37.739
 the

00:38:37.739 --> 00:38:38.199
 noise

00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:38.419
 that

00:38:38.419 --> 00:38:38.719
 is

00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:39.259
 around

00:38:39.259 --> 00:38:39.739
 us

00:38:39.739 --> 00:38:40.699
 will

00:38:40.699 --> 00:38:41.239
 dampen

00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:41.460
 will

00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:41.819
 drown

00:38:41.819 --> 00:38:42.099
 and

00:38:42.099 --> 00:38:42.359
 will

00:38:42.359 --> 00:38:42.899
 remove

00:38:42.899 --> 00:38:43.199
 the

00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:43.839
 sense

00:38:43.839 --> 00:38:45.019
 that

00:38:45.019 --> 00:38:45.199
 the

00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:45.480
 spirit

00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:45.619
 of

00:38:45.619 --> 00:38:45.839
 God

00:38:45.839 --> 00:38:46.139
 gives

00:38:46.139 --> 00:38:46.379
 to

00:38:46.379 --> 00:38:46.659
 us

00:38:46.659 --> 00:38:48.859
 to

00:38:48.859 --> 00:38:49.279
 give

00:38:49.279 --> 00:38:50.119
 us

00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:50.279
 the

00:38:50.279 --> 00:38:51.099
 assurance

00:38:51.099 --> 00:38:51.519
 of

00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:51.699
 our

00:38:51.699 --> 00:38:52.339
 identity

00:38:52.339 --> 00:38:53.440
 as

00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:54.319
 the

00:38:54.319 --> 00:38:54.679
 children

00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:54.940
 of

00:38:54.940 --> 00:38:55.239
 God

00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:56.399
 and

00:38:56.399 --> 00:38:56.679
 perhaps

00:38:56.679 --> 00:38:57.039
 tonight

00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:57.259
 if

00:38:57.259 --> 00:38:59.019
 you

00:38:59.019 --> 00:38:59.159
 are

00:38:59.159 --> 00:38:59.339
 a

00:38:59.339 --> 00:38:59.699
 child

00:38:59.699 --> 00:38:59.920
 of

00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:00.239
 God

00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:01.679
 and

00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:01.859
 you

00:39:01.859 --> 00:39:02.219
 doubt

00:39:02.219 --> 00:39:02.460
 your

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:02.980
 salvation

00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:03.259
 and

00:39:03.259 --> 00:39:03.379
 you

00:39:03.379 --> 00:39:03.599
 doubt

00:39:03.599 --> 00:39:03.779
 that

00:39:03.779 --> 00:39:03.920
 you

00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:04.179
 are

00:39:04.179 --> 00:39:04.359
 the

00:39:04.359 --> 00:39:04.679
 child

00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:04.879
 of

00:39:04.879 --> 00:39:05.139
 God

00:39:05.139 --> 00:39:05.879
 and

00:39:05.879 --> 00:39:06.039
 you

00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:06.480
 cannot

00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:07.139
 dare

00:39:07.139 --> 00:39:07.399
 say

00:39:07.399 --> 00:39:07.559
 to

00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:07.859
 anybody

00:39:07.859 --> 00:39:08.119
 that

00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:08.259
 you

00:39:08.259 --> 00:39:08.460
 are

00:39:08.460 --> 00:39:08.779
 because

00:39:08.779 --> 00:39:09.019
 you're

00:39:09.019 --> 00:39:09.239
 not

00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:09.659
 sure

00:39:09.659 --> 00:39:12.239
 perhaps

00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:13.119
 the

00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:13.559
 reason

00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:13.799
 for

00:39:13.799 --> 00:39:14.039
 that

00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:14.339
 is

00:39:14.339 --> 00:39:15.859
 that

00:39:15.859 --> 00:39:16.000
 you

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:16.139
 have

00:39:16.139 --> 00:39:16.599
 too

00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:16.960
 much

00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:17.619
 clutter

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:17.819
 in

00:39:17.819 --> 00:39:17.960
 your

00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:18.379
 life

00:39:18.379 --> 00:39:19.639
 that

00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:19.779
 you

00:39:19.779 --> 00:39:19.920
 have

00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:20.079
 no

00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:20.319
 real

00:39:20.319 --> 00:39:20.819
 space

00:39:20.819 --> 00:39:21.059
 for

00:39:21.059 --> 00:39:21.599
 God

00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:22.199
 and

00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:22.339
 that

00:39:22.339 --> 00:39:22.420
 you

00:39:22.420 --> 00:39:22.519
 have

00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:22.699
 not

00:39:22.699 --> 00:39:23.259
 created

00:39:23.259 --> 00:39:23.579
 that

00:39:23.579 --> 00:39:23.879
 and

00:39:23.879 --> 00:39:24.339
 therefore

00:39:24.339 --> 00:39:25.099
 you're

00:39:25.099 --> 00:39:25.319
 not

00:39:25.319 --> 00:39:25.799
 hearing

00:39:25.799 --> 00:39:26.539
 what

00:39:26.539 --> 00:39:26.900
 God

00:39:26.900 --> 00:39:27.179
 is

00:39:27.179 --> 00:39:27.799
 saying

00:39:27.799 --> 00:39:29.420
 to

00:39:29.420 --> 00:39:29.739
 you

00:39:29.739 --> 00:39:31.420
 there

00:39:31.420 --> 00:39:31.799
 has

00:39:31.799 --> 00:39:32.000
 to

00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:32.199
 be

00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:32.420
 that

00:39:32.420 --> 00:39:32.759
 sense

00:39:32.759 --> 00:39:33.239
 of

00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:35.159
 noise

00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:35.799
 cancellation

00:39:35.799 --> 00:39:36.259
 with

00:39:36.259 --> 00:39:36.619
 regard

00:39:36.619 --> 00:39:36.779
 to

00:39:36.779 --> 00:39:36.920
 the

00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:37.199
 things

00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:37.579
 in

00:39:37.579 --> 00:39:37.699
 the

00:39:37.699 --> 00:39:38.099
 world

00:39:38.099 --> 00:39:39.639
 we

00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:40.059
 live

00:39:40.059 --> 00:39:40.400
 in

00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:41.279
 a

00:39:41.279 --> 00:39:41.859
 society

00:39:41.859 --> 00:39:42.099
 where

00:39:42.099 --> 00:39:42.179
 there

00:39:42.179 --> 00:39:42.259
 are

00:39:42.259 --> 00:39:42.480
 so

00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:42.759
 many

00:39:42.759 --> 00:39:43.319
 demands

00:39:43.319 --> 00:39:43.500
 on

00:39:43.500 --> 00:39:43.619
 our

00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:43.960
 time

00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:44.639
 whether

00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:44.900
 we're

00:39:44.900 --> 00:39:45.159
 young

00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:45.400
 or

00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:45.639
 old

00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:46.099
 or whoever

00:39:46.099 --> 00:39:46.719
 we are

00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:47.559
 even

00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:48.219
 technology

00:39:48.219 --> 00:39:48.719
 itself

00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:49.219
 places

00:39:49.219 --> 00:39:49.879
 so much

00:39:49.879 --> 00:39:50.480
 demands

00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:51.039
 upon us

00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:52.500
 and we

00:39:52.500 --> 00:39:53.000
 are all

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:53.519
 close

00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:54.480
 if not

00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:55.239
 already

00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:55.579
 there

00:39:55.579 --> 00:39:56.719
 close to

00:39:56.719 --> 00:39:56.980
 being

00:39:56.980 --> 00:39:57.559
 addicted

00:39:57.559 --> 00:39:58.019
 to our

00:39:58.019 --> 00:39:58.539
 devices

00:39:58.539 --> 00:39:59.299
 and to

00:39:59.299 --> 00:40:00.339
 all that

00:40:00.339 --> 00:40:01.219
 the whole

00:40:01.219 --> 00:40:01.480
 of the

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:01.719
 world

00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:02.379
 can bring

00:40:02.379 --> 00:40:02.859
 into our

00:40:02.859 --> 00:40:03.179
 lives

00:40:03.179 --> 00:40:04.159
 sitting in

00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:04.319
 our

00:40:04.319 --> 00:40:04.779
 homes

00:40:04.780 --> 00:40:05.780
 lives

00:40:05.780 --> 00:40:06.600
 we are

00:40:06.600 --> 00:40:06.860
 making

00:40:06.860 --> 00:40:07.360
 space

00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:07.700
 for the

00:40:07.700 --> 00:40:08.080
 world

00:40:08.080 --> 00:40:08.680
 and

00:40:08.680 --> 00:40:09.140
 creating

00:40:09.140 --> 00:40:09.480
 more

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:09.840
 and more

00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:10.260
 space

00:40:10.260 --> 00:40:10.920
 for our

00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:11.280
 world

00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:12.360
 and less

00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:13.080
 and less

00:40:13.080 --> 00:40:13.780
 space

00:40:13.780 --> 00:40:14.640
 for God

00:40:14.640 --> 00:40:16.280
 and when

00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:16.720
 I'm saying

00:40:16.720 --> 00:40:16.980
 that

00:40:16.980 --> 00:40:17.760
 I'm saying

00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:18.040
 it to

00:40:18.040 --> 00:40:18.420
 myself

00:40:18.420 --> 00:40:19.140
 first of

00:40:19.140 --> 00:40:19.420
 all

00:40:19.420 --> 00:40:20.660
 and I

00:40:20.660 --> 00:40:21.000
 think it

00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:21.940
 is reflective

00:40:21.940 --> 00:40:23.519
 of what

00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:24.060
 is happening

00:40:24.060 --> 00:40:24.400
 in the

00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:24.680
 world

00:40:24.680 --> 00:40:25.280
 in which

00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:26.000
 we live

00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:29.480
 and as

00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:30.559
 we close

00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:31.059
 tonight

00:40:31.059 --> 00:40:33.480
 perhaps

00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:33.940
 the

00:40:33.940 --> 00:40:35.000
 greatest

00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:35.900
 take away

00:40:35.900 --> 00:40:37.519
 from

00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:38.639
 our time

00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:39.059
 together

00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:39.579
 would be

00:40:39.579 --> 00:40:40.480
 that we

00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:41.000
 commit

00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:41.719
 ourselves

00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:43.000
 to make

00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:43.780
 more space

00:40:43.780 --> 00:40:44.719
 for God

00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:45.039
 in our

00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:45.480
 lives

00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:47.420
 to go

00:40:47.420 --> 00:40:47.920
 apart

00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:48.519
 and to

00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:49.079
 listen to

00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:49.500
 what God

00:40:49.500 --> 00:40:49.960
 is saying

00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:52.320
 not just

00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:52.699
 what he's

00:40:52.699 --> 00:40:53.079
 saying to

00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:53.300
 us

00:40:53.300 --> 00:40:54.139
 in the

00:40:54.139 --> 00:40:54.480
 worship

00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:55.099
 of his

00:40:55.099 --> 00:40:55.400
 name

00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:56.200
 and in

00:40:56.200 --> 00:40:56.300
 the

00:40:56.300 --> 00:40:56.559
 preaching

00:40:56.559 --> 00:40:56.780
 of the

00:40:56.780 --> 00:40:57.059
 gospel

00:40:57.059 --> 00:40:57.480
 on the

00:40:57.480 --> 00:40:57.980
 Lord's

00:40:57.980 --> 00:40:58.240
 day

00:40:58.240 --> 00:40:59.480
 but to

00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:00.059
 ensure

00:41:00.059 --> 00:41:01.039
 that we

00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:01.519
 have that

00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:01.920
 space

00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:03.059
 every day

00:41:03.059 --> 00:41:04.000
 at some

00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:04.500
 point in

00:41:04.500 --> 00:41:04.880
 the day

00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:05.880
 that we

00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:06.559
 are disciplined

00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:07.579
 to make

00:41:07.579 --> 00:41:08.000
 space

00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:08.900
 for God

00:41:08.900 --> 00:41:10.220
 and the

00:41:10.220 --> 00:41:10.780
 promise is

00:41:10.780 --> 00:41:11.420
 from all

00:41:11.420 --> 00:41:11.700
 that God

00:41:11.700 --> 00:41:12.119
 says in

00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:12.460
 the Bible

00:41:12.460 --> 00:41:13.360
 that if

00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:13.780
 we give

00:41:13.780 --> 00:41:14.519
 space to

00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:14.820
 God

00:41:14.820 --> 00:41:15.320
 in that

00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:15.639
 way

00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:17.340
 that we

00:41:17.340 --> 00:41:17.579
 will

00:41:17.579 --> 00:41:19.079
 hear more

00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:19.559
 from

00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:19.900
 him

00:41:19.900 --> 00:41:21.760
 learn more

00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:22.480
 about him

00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:23.780

00:41:23.780 --> 00:41:24.660
 about ourselves

00:41:24.659 --> 00:41:26.819
 and understand

00:41:26.819 --> 00:41:27.679
 our identity

00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:28.319
 as the

00:41:28.319 --> 00:41:28.859
 children of

00:41:28.859 --> 00:41:29.159
 God

00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:30.480
 more and

00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:30.960
 more

00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:32.980
 that was

00:41:32.980 --> 00:41:33.559
 the problem

00:41:33.559 --> 00:41:35.299
 in the

00:41:35.299 --> 00:41:35.819
 church in

00:41:35.819 --> 00:41:36.179
 Rome

00:41:36.179 --> 00:41:37.359
 they were

00:41:37.359 --> 00:41:38.079
 confused

00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:38.960
 are we

00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:39.539
 confused

00:41:39.539 --> 00:41:39.960
 about what

00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:40.359
 it means

00:41:40.359 --> 00:41:40.779
 to be the

00:41:40.779 --> 00:41:41.179
 sons of

00:41:41.179 --> 00:41:41.480
 God

00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:43.679
 do we

00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:44.420
 understand

00:41:44.420 --> 00:41:45.619
 what makes

00:41:45.619 --> 00:41:46.000
 us the

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:46.519
 children of

00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:46.839
 God

00:41:46.839 --> 00:41:48.519
 and do we

00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:49.079
 understand

00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:49.779
 that only

00:41:49.779 --> 00:41:50.739
 by the

00:41:50.739 --> 00:41:51.239
 spirit of

00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:51.539
 God

00:41:51.539 --> 00:41:52.639
 coming to
