WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.379
 We're going to begin our worship by singing to God's praise in Psalm 96, the Scottish Psalter

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:12.939
 version on page 358. We'll take up our singing at verse 7, it's verse 8 on the sheep, we'll take it

00:00:12.939 --> 00:00:20.140
 up at verse 7 to verse 11. Do ye ascribe unto the Lord of people every tribe, glory do ye unto the

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:26.359
 Lord and mighty power ascribe. Give ye the glory to the Lord that to his name is due. Come ye into

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:32.219
 his courts and bring an offering with you. We'll sing from verse 7 to 11 to God's praise

00:00:32.219 --> 00:00:33.579
 and we stand to sing.

00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:02.219
 Glory do ye unto the Lord and mighty power ascribe. Give ye the glory to the Lord, that to his name is due.

00:01:02.219 --> 00:01:08.079
 O Lord and mighty power ascribe. Give ye the glory to the Lord, that to his name is due.

00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:38.060
 Almighty power ascribe. Give ye the glory to the Lord, that to his name is due. Come ye,

00:01:38.060 --> 00:02:08.039
 into his force and bring an offering with you. In beauty of his holiness, O dear,

00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:13.039
 the Lord and mighty power ascribe. Give ye the glory to the Lord, that to his name is due.

00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:19.039
 The grace that all the earth drew out, from the earth's face before.

00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:31.039
 All the earth drew out, from the earth's face before.

00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:33.599
れない Omar

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:54.419
 Among the heathen sick, O examples the world shall shed fastly,

00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:58.419
 from moving

00:02:58.419 --> 00:03:02.419
 he shall judge

00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:06.179
 the people

00:03:06.179 --> 00:03:09.739
 righteously.

00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:16.379
 Let hands be

00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:19.179
 glad before

00:03:19.179 --> 00:03:22.959
 the Lord

00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.780
 and let the

00:03:26.780 --> 00:03:28.320
 earth

00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:30.939
 rejoice.

00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:32.520
 Let

00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.140
 cease

00:03:34.140 --> 00:03:36.680
 and all

00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.340
 that is

00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:40.300
 said

00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:42.240
 cry

00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.500
 out

00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:46.960
 and make

00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.420
 a noise.

00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:54.780
 Let's come

00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:55.900
 together to God

00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:56.340
 in prayer.

00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:56.960
 Let us pray.

00:03:58.280 --> 00:03:59.580
 Our Father in

00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:00.560
 heaven, we thank

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:01.800
 you for every

00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:02.819
 opportunity we have

00:04:02.819 --> 00:04:04.080

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:04.719
 worship you

00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:05.600
 together as a

00:04:05.600 --> 00:04:05.980
 people.

00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:06.719
 We thank you

00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:07.319
 that we have

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:09.120
 your word before

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.140
 us that guides

00:04:10.140 --> 00:04:10.939

00:04:10.939 --> 00:04:12.080
 speaks to us of

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:12.760
 all our needs.

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:14.040
 We thank you

00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:14.700
 that we are able

00:04:14.700 --> 00:04:15.560
 to offer up

00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.139
 praise to you

00:04:17.139 --> 00:04:17.840
 and offer up

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:18.960
 prayer to you

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:19.859
 and that you

00:04:19.859 --> 00:04:20.979
 hear and delight

00:04:20.979 --> 00:04:21.959
 in all of these

00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:22.339
 things.

00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:23.839
 And we do pray,

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:24.399
 Lord, that you

00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:25.139
 will bless us

00:04:25.139 --> 00:04:25.959
 and be with us.

00:04:26.419 --> 00:04:27.099
 We thank you

00:04:27.099 --> 00:04:27.719
 that you are a

00:04:27.719 --> 00:04:28.759
 king over us

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:29.899
 and that we come

00:04:29.899 --> 00:04:30.719
 into the presence

00:04:30.719 --> 00:04:31.959
 of you as our

00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:32.399
 king.

00:04:33.039 --> 00:04:33.620
 And although there

00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:34.899
 was much joy in

00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:35.719
 our nation and

00:04:35.719 --> 00:04:37.279
 excitement yesterday

00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:37.639
 over the

00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:38.759
 coronation of a

00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:39.319
 new king,

00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:40.579
 King Charles III,

00:04:41.339 --> 00:04:42.199
 we thank you

00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:43.139
 above all, Lord,

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:44.779
 and pray for him

00:04:44.779 --> 00:04:45.579
 that he would know

00:04:45.579 --> 00:04:47.319
 Jesus Christ as his

00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:48.339
 Lord and King,

00:04:48.899 --> 00:04:49.740
 that all the

00:04:49.740 --> 00:04:50.579
 nations of our

00:04:50.579 --> 00:04:51.519
 world would come

00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.180
 to give glory to

00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:54.259
 you and that we

00:04:54.259 --> 00:04:55.099
 would find in you

00:04:55.099 --> 00:04:56.040
 the one who is

00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:56.599
 with us.

00:04:57.159 --> 00:04:57.839
 So, Lord, may you

00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:58.740
 bless us together.

00:04:58.860 --> 00:04:59.659
 May you bless us

00:04:59.659 --> 00:05:00.759
 young and old alike

00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.360
 as we hear of your

00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:03.420
 truth, of your word

00:05:03.420 --> 00:05:03.839
 today.

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:05.339
 May you bless us in

00:05:05.339 --> 00:05:06.079
 every home and

00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:07.159
 family we represent.

00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:08.579
 May you be with us,

00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:10.000
 Lord, and guide us

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.039
 throughout this day.

00:05:11.159 --> 00:05:12.240
 Help us to be glad

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:13.600
 in it, for this is a

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:14.839
 day that you have

00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:15.180
 made.

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.139
 Help us to rejoice

00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:17.979
 in that.

00:05:18.459 --> 00:05:19.199
 So, Lord, continue

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.039
 with us and go

00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:21.759
 before us, pardoning

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:22.759
 all our sin in

00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:23.599
 Jesus' name.

00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:24.399
 Amen.

00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:28.560
 I'm sure not just

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:29.759
 the young folks,

00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.060
 but many of us

00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:31.500
 would have been

00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:32.500
 paying attention to

00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:33.279
 what was happening

00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.019
 in London yesterday

00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:36.599
 as it was shown

00:05:36.599 --> 00:05:37.519
 on our screens,

00:05:37.620 --> 00:05:38.399
 as it was heard

00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.000
 on the radio,

00:05:40.099 --> 00:05:40.779
 wherever you went

00:05:40.779 --> 00:05:41.459
 yesterday, there

00:05:41.459 --> 00:05:42.360
 was signs and

00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:43.240
 indications that

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:44.279
 something important

00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:45.620
 was happening.

00:05:45.620 --> 00:05:46.560
 It was the

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:47.660
 coronation of the

00:05:47.660 --> 00:05:47.920
 king.

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:49.340
 And as you

00:05:49.340 --> 00:05:50.180
 watched on, I'm

00:05:50.180 --> 00:05:50.620
 sure there was

00:05:50.620 --> 00:05:51.280
 many different

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:51.939
 things that maybe

00:05:51.939 --> 00:05:52.620
 caught your

00:05:52.620 --> 00:05:53.160
 attention.

00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:54.500
 Maybe you had

00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:55.600
 your favorite part

00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:56.280
 of the day, maybe

00:05:56.280 --> 00:05:56.680
 you weren't

00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:57.459
 interested in it

00:05:57.459 --> 00:05:58.120
 at all, but

00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.519
 whatever situation

00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:00.120
 we found

00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:00.879
 ourselves in,

00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:01.899
 something important

00:06:01.899 --> 00:06:02.680
 was happening

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:03.560
 with the

00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:04.920
 coronation of

00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:06.360
 King Charles III.

00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:07.160
 And when you

00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:08.139
 watch and see

00:06:08.139 --> 00:06:09.040
 what was happening,

00:06:09.780 --> 00:06:10.459
 you see many

00:06:10.459 --> 00:06:11.120
 things that maybe

00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:12.040
 catch your

00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:12.560
 attention.

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:13.920
 the amount of

00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:14.800
 different people

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:15.459
 that were coming

00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:16.480
 from all over the

00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:17.399
 world to be there,

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.040
 important people.

00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:20.620
 The fanfare and

00:06:20.620 --> 00:06:21.579
 all the parades and

00:06:21.579 --> 00:06:22.519
 the crowds that

00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.060
 were there, all

00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:25.680
 there to see what

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.060
 was taking place.

00:06:27.860 --> 00:06:28.579
 The way King

00:06:28.579 --> 00:06:29.819
 Charles was dressed

00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:30.319
 and all the

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:31.160
 different things

00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:32.319
 that he had to

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:33.180
 go through as he

00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:34.139
 became king and

00:06:34.139 --> 00:06:35.819
 as the crown was

00:06:35.819 --> 00:06:37.040
 placed on his

00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:37.459
 head.

00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:39.379
 There was lots of

00:06:39.379 --> 00:06:40.319
 different things

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:40.860
 happening.

00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:42.740
 He is the king

00:06:42.740 --> 00:06:44.080
 of our nation,

00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:44.780
 but he's not the

00:06:44.780 --> 00:06:46.040
 only king in the

00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:46.319
 world.

00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:47.860
 There's kings and

00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:48.480
 queens in other

00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:49.180
 parts of the

00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:50.180
 world as well.

00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:51.759
 If you find a

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:52.560
 list of all the

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:53.439
 different kings and

00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.240
 queens, you find

00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.180
 that lots of

00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:56.040
 different countries

00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:56.960
 around the world

00:06:56.960 --> 00:06:58.120
 have their own

00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.660
 king or queen.

00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:01.160
 Norway, Spain,

00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:02.720
 Sweden, Belgium,

00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:04.759
 Denmark, even

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:05.780
 Cambodia, where

00:07:05.780 --> 00:07:07.120
 Muriel, who was

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:07.759
 here with us

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:08.360
 recently, even

00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:09.060
 where she is,

00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:09.759
 there's a king

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.240
 over that nation

00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:11.699
 as well.

00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:12.420
 So there may be

00:07:12.420 --> 00:07:13.519
 lots of different

00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.399
 kings and queens

00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:16.579
 around the world.

00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:18.279
 And although all

00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:19.039
 of these kings and

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:20.000
 queens, there's a

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.199
 lot of fanfare

00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:21.980
 around them, there's

00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:22.699
 a lot of things

00:07:22.699 --> 00:07:23.519
 that are so

00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:24.339
 important about

00:07:24.339 --> 00:07:25.339
 their role and

00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:26.420
 all that's done

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:27.120
 when they become

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.000
 king or queen

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:28.439
 and they have

00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.000
 this crown put

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:30.620
 on their head,

00:07:30.740 --> 00:07:31.519
 can they be said

00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:32.659
 of one of them

00:07:32.659 --> 00:07:33.719
 that they are the

00:07:33.719 --> 00:07:34.819
 king or queen

00:07:34.819 --> 00:07:36.300
 of the whole

00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:36.920
 world?

00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.160
 It can't.

00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:41.080
 And can it be

00:07:41.080 --> 00:07:42.160
 said of anyone

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:43.560
 that they are

00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.340
 king of the

00:07:45.340 --> 00:07:46.180
 whole world?

00:07:47.379 --> 00:07:48.580
 Yes, it can.

00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:50.240
 It can be said

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:51.620
 of only one

00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:52.360
 person.

00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:54.139
 And that's

00:07:54.139 --> 00:07:54.939
 the Lord.

00:07:55.520 --> 00:07:56.860
 The Lord is

00:07:56.860 --> 00:07:58.620
 king of all

00:07:58.620 --> 00:07:59.120
 nations.

00:07:59.700 --> 00:08:00.980
 In Psalm 47,

00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:02.540
 it speaks about

00:08:02.540 --> 00:08:03.319
 how the Lord

00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:04.600
 is king.

00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:05.060
 It says,

00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:05.820
 how awesome

00:08:05.820 --> 00:08:06.780
 is the Lord

00:08:06.780 --> 00:08:07.560
 most high,

00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:08.939
 great king

00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:10.020
 who rules

00:08:10.020 --> 00:08:11.300
 the earth

00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:12.040
 throughout,

00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:12.780
 the whole

00:08:12.780 --> 00:08:14.520
 of the world.

00:08:15.220 --> 00:08:15.920
 It says that

00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:16.560
 God has gone

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:17.480
 up with shouts

00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:18.080
 of joy,

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:18.520
 the Lord

00:08:18.520 --> 00:08:19.720
 amidst the

00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.060
 trumpets sound.

00:08:21.220 --> 00:08:21.640
 So there's

00:08:21.640 --> 00:08:22.920
 this fanfare

00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:24.100
 that the Lord

00:08:24.100 --> 00:08:25.040
 is king.

00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:26.700
 And it says

00:08:26.700 --> 00:08:27.180
 in the Psalm,

00:08:27.280 --> 00:08:27.620
 the leaders

00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:28.500
 of the nations

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:30.020
 come to yield

00:08:30.020 --> 00:08:30.879
 themselves to

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:32.019
 Abraham's God.

00:08:32.019 --> 00:08:33.120
 He is the

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:34.879
 king of all

00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:35.539
 the world

00:08:35.539 --> 00:08:36.919
 and of all

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:37.720
 people.

00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:39.519
 So the Lord

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:40.840
 is king.

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:41.799
 And when we

00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:42.480
 think of that,

00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:43.159
 we think of,

00:08:43.299 --> 00:08:44.100
 well, who is

00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:45.159
 our king?

00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:46.279
 Is King Charles

00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:47.559
 our only king,

00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:48.159
 our most

00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:49.000
 important king?

00:08:49.199 --> 00:08:49.460
 No.

00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:51.439
 King Jesus

00:08:51.439 --> 00:08:52.759
 is the most

00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:53.860
 important king.

00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:55.240
 And what we

00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:55.919
 see of King

00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:56.799
 Jesus is that

00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:57.460
 he was given

00:08:57.460 --> 00:08:58.179
 a crown

00:08:58.179 --> 00:08:59.419
 when he was

00:08:59.419 --> 00:09:00.360
 in this world.

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.840
 But it was

00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:02.659
 very different

00:09:02.659 --> 00:09:03.560
 to the crown

00:09:03.560 --> 00:09:04.159
 that was put

00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:04.740
 on King

00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:05.259
 Charles'

00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:06.200
 head yesterday.

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:07.519
 It was a

00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:08.720
 crown of

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:09.659
 thorns.

00:09:10.580 --> 00:09:11.340
 So very

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:11.879
 different.

00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:13.440
 Instead of

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:14.360
 people shouting,

00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:15.659
 God save

00:09:15.659 --> 00:09:16.399
 the king as

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:16.700
 they did

00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:17.379
 yesterday,

00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:18.600
 people when

00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:19.240
 Jesus was

00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:19.820
 shown to be

00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:20.460
 king were

00:09:20.460 --> 00:09:21.659
 shouting,

00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:23.120
 crucify him.

00:09:23.180 --> 00:09:23.460
 That means

00:09:23.460 --> 00:09:24.159
 put him to

00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:24.580
 death.

00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:26.800
 So Jesus

00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:28.159
 came to be

00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:29.080
 king over us

00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:29.379
 all.

00:09:29.379 --> 00:09:29.679
 But in

00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:30.019
 order to

00:09:30.019 --> 00:09:30.539
 be king,

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:31.419
 he had to

00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:32.019
 take that

00:09:32.019 --> 00:09:32.379
 crown,

00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:33.000
 that crown

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:33.779
 of suffering

00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:34.939
 and die

00:09:34.939 --> 00:09:35.639
 for us

00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:36.620
 that we

00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:37.139
 might know

00:09:37.139 --> 00:09:37.679
 him as

00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:38.379
 our true

00:09:38.379 --> 00:09:39.720
 king forever

00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.139
 for all

00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:42.299
 eternity.

00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:43.759
 So as we

00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:44.360
 think of the

00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:45.200
 great fanfare

00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:45.879
 around King

00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:46.799
 Charles yesterday

00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:47.039
 and the

00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:47.799
 great crown,

00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:48.840
 the beautiful

00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:49.419
 crown that

00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:49.919
 was put on

00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:50.559
 his head,

00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:51.439
 he cannot

00:09:51.439 --> 00:09:52.240
 be king of

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:52.659
 the whole

00:09:52.659 --> 00:09:53.320
 world for

00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:54.080
 all time,

00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:55.700
 but Jesus

00:09:55.700 --> 00:09:56.259
 is.

00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:57.620
 And that's

00:09:57.620 --> 00:09:58.460
 what we are

00:09:58.460 --> 00:09:59.180
 to remember

00:09:59.180 --> 00:09:59.879
 and to

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:00.340
 know that

00:10:00.340 --> 00:10:00.740
 we can

00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:01.759
 have Jesus

00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.100
 as our

00:10:03.100 --> 00:10:04.519
 king too.

00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:05.580
 So may

00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:06.220
 God bless

00:10:06.220 --> 00:10:07.139
 his word

00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:07.500
 and these

00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:08.120
 thoughts to

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:08.220
 us.

00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:08.440
 We're going

00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:08.900
 to say the

00:10:08.900 --> 00:10:09.379
 Lord's

00:10:09.379 --> 00:10:10.360
 prayer together

00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:10.700
 now.

00:10:10.700 --> 00:10:11.700
 Amen.

00:10:11.700 --> 00:10:12.700
 Amen.

00:10:12.700 --> 00:10:13.400
 Our Father

00:10:13.400 --> 00:10:14.360
 which art in

00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:14.740
 heaven,

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:16.000
 hallowed be

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.720
 thy name.

00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:18.020
 Thy kingdom

00:10:18.020 --> 00:10:18.560
 come.

00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:19.980
 Thy will be

00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:20.379
 done on

00:10:20.379 --> 00:10:21.340
 earth as it

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:21.879
 is in

00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:22.160
 heaven.

00:10:22.700 --> 00:10:23.300
 Give us

00:10:23.300 --> 00:10:23.940
 this day

00:10:23.940 --> 00:10:24.560
 our daily

00:10:24.560 --> 00:10:25.680
 bread and

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:26.300
 forgive us

00:10:26.300 --> 00:10:27.060
 our debts

00:10:27.060 --> 00:10:27.879
 as we

00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:28.800
 forgive our

00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:29.400
 debtors.

00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:30.560
 And lead us

00:10:30.560 --> 00:10:31.259
 not into

00:10:31.259 --> 00:10:31.960
 temptation,

00:10:32.540 --> 00:10:33.480
 but deliver us

00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:34.200
 from evil.

00:10:34.700 --> 00:10:35.520
 For thine is

00:10:35.520 --> 00:10:36.120
 the kingdom,

00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:37.200
 the power,

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:38.120
 and the glory

00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:38.800
 forever.

00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:39.959
 Amen.

00:10:42.199 --> 00:10:43.000
 We're going

00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:43.979
 to sing again

00:10:43.979 --> 00:10:44.639
 to God's

00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:45.199
 praise this

00:10:45.199 --> 00:10:45.539
 time in

00:10:45.539 --> 00:10:46.740
 Psalm 107

00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:49.439

00:10:49.439 --> 00:10:49.979
 beginning of

00:10:49.979 --> 00:10:50.699
 that psalm,

00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:52.039
 Psalm 107,

00:10:53.019 --> 00:10:53.620
 we'll sing

00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:54.159
 from verse

 1 to

00:10:54.939 --> 00:10:56.019
 verse 9.

00:10:58.699 --> 00:11:00.179
 Psalm 107,

 of the

00:11:01.839 --> 00:11:02.459

00:11:03.099 --> 00:11:03.620
 Singing from

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:04.059
 the beginning,

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:04.939
 praise God

00:11:04.939 --> 00:11:05.639
 for he is

00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:06.179
 good, for

 still his

 Amen

00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.160

 again

00:23:59.500 --> 00:23:59.700

00:23:59.700 --> 00:24:00.120
 God's

00:24:02.600 --> 00:24:02.759
 time

00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:02.860
 it's

 in the

 135

00:24:05.339 --> 00:24:06.799
 we

00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:07.180
 take up

00:24:07.180 --> 00:24:07.360
 our

 reading at

00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:08.799
 verse 13

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:09.120
 of the

00:24:09.120 --> 00:24:09.420
 psalm

00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:09.580
 we're

00:24:09.580 --> 00:24:09.720
 going

00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:09.860
 to

00:24:09.860 --> 00:24:10.140

00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:15.500

00:24:17.860 --> 00:24:18.340
 great

00:24:18.340 --> 00:24:18.580
 for

00:24:18.580 --> 00:24:18.740
 the

00:24:18.740 --> 00:24:19.000
 Lord

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:19.779
 sustains

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:20.100
 his

00:24:20.100 --> 00:24:20.600

00:24:20.600 --> 00:24:21.500

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:21.740
 his

00:24:21.740 --> 00:24:22.180
 folk

00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:22.519
 will

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:23.380
 vindicate

00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:24.180
 we

00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:24.400
 sing

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:24.560
 from

00:24:24.560 --> 00:24:24.779
 verse

00:24:24.779 --> 00:24:25.279
 13

00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:25.560
 down

00:24:25.560 --> 00:24:25.700
 to

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:25.840
 the

00:24:25.840 --> 00:24:26.060
 end

00:24:26.060 --> 00:24:26.160
 of

00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:26.320
 the

00:24:26.320 --> 00:24:26.740
 psalm

00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:27.180
 to

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:27.640
 God's

00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:28.060
 praise

00:24:28.059 --> 00:24:28.919
 much

00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:38.279
 March your name endures forever,

00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:45.100
 during the rest of our great,

00:24:45.100 --> 00:24:51.500
 for the Lord succincts his servants

00:24:51.500 --> 00:24:57.019
 and his folk will vindicate.

00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:05.560
 But the idols of the nations,

00:25:06.080 --> 00:25:12.160
 made of silver and of gold,

00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:18.500
 are by human hands created

00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:26.360
 with a hammer or a moan.

00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:33.959
 Must have thought speak they cannot,

00:25:34.379 --> 00:25:40.359
 find they have thought cannot see,

00:25:41.399 --> 00:25:47.799
 hear they have thought hear they cannot,

00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:54.799
 in him a still breath can be.

00:25:56.659 --> 00:26:03.099
 Those who make them will be like them,

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:09.919
 those who trust them are the same.

00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:16.920
 Praise the Lord, O house of Israel,

00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:23.920
 our own south exalted sin.

00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:30.920
 Praise the Lord, O house of Levi,

00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:35.820
 you who fill him,

00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:38.980
 praise the Lord.

00:26:39.460 --> 00:26:42.019
 Praise the Lord,

00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:45.860
 who dwells in Zion,

00:26:46.300 --> 00:26:48.920
 in Jerusalem.

00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:52.920
 Praise the Lord.

00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:53.920
 Praise the Lord.

00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:54.920
 Praise the Lord.

00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:55.920
 Praise the Lord.

00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:56.920
 Praise the Lord.

00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:57.920
 Praise the Lord.

00:26:57.920 --> 00:26:58.920
 Praise the Lord.

00:26:58.920 --> 00:26:59.920
 Praise the Lord.

00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:02.600
 Well, we can turn back to our reading in 1 Peter,

00:27:03.660 --> 00:27:04.720
 chapter 2.

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:08.900
 As I say, we're coming back to this study in 1 Peter.

00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:12.279
 We had come as far as verse 8 in chapter 2.

00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:16.799
 And we're going to look at verse 9 down to verse 12 today,

00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:20.279
 under the heading of Being Christian Witnesses.

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:30.299
 If I was to give a brief recap of what we've looked at so far

00:27:30.299 --> 00:27:36.000
 in this letter of Peter to a church that was scattered far and wide,

00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:39.440
 there are a few things that we would maybe just want to highlight

00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:42.580
 before we just jump back in at verse 9.

00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:46.600
 Who was Peter writing to?

00:27:47.460 --> 00:27:49.640
 Well, we see from the outset of the letter

00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:54.200
 that there are people who have been scattered far and wide,

00:27:54.299 --> 00:27:56.299
 but they are God's people,

00:27:56.740 --> 00:28:00.640
 and they are facing various trials and persecutions

00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.080
 because of their faith.

00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:05.580
 They are suffering for it.

00:28:05.579 --> 00:28:10.399
 And that's one of the main reasons why Peter is writing to them.

00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:14.220
 He's writing to encourage them in the midst of these trials

00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:15.799
 that they face.

00:28:16.339 --> 00:28:19.319
 He's writing to a people who are scattered,

00:28:20.159 --> 00:28:22.299
 but he's writing to them to encourage them

00:28:22.299 --> 00:28:26.000
 and strengthen them and build them up in the faith.

00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:29.619
 And what does he say to them to seek to encourage them?

00:28:30.460 --> 00:28:33.359
 Well, he reminds them of a few different things.

00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:38.299
 He encourages them in both a positive way

00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:41.799
 that they have, as we saw in verse 3,

00:28:41.919 --> 00:28:42.919
 the first part there,

00:28:42.979 --> 00:28:47.439
 that they have a hope and an inheritance to look forward to.

00:28:47.979 --> 00:28:50.039
 That as God's people,

00:28:50.139 --> 00:28:52.079
 they have much to give thanks for

00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:54.519
 and to be blessed by in the present,

00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:58.259
 but also much to look forward to in the future.

00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:00.839
 But he doesn't ignore the issues

00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:02.539
 that are going on around them either.

00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:05.339
 He makes it very clear that he knows

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:06.920
 that they are suffering

00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:09.759
 because of their faith,

00:29:10.159 --> 00:29:11.259
 that they are suffering

00:29:11.259 --> 00:29:13.940
 and going through all these trials.

00:29:14.099 --> 00:29:16.119
 It says in verse 6 of chapter 1,

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:17.259
 In this you rejoice,

00:29:17.740 --> 00:29:19.779
 though now for a little while,

00:29:19.819 --> 00:29:20.379
 if necessary,

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:23.779
 you have been grieved by various trials.

00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:26.759
 So there's a rejoicing,

00:29:27.099 --> 00:29:29.940
 but there's a reality as well

00:29:29.940 --> 00:29:31.899
 that they will have trials.

00:29:31.900 --> 00:29:34.080
 But then he goes on to remind them

00:29:34.080 --> 00:29:36.780
 that they are remembered by God.

00:29:37.120 --> 00:29:39.759
 It's not just Peter remembering them in this way

00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:40.840
 by writing to them,

00:29:41.080 --> 00:29:46.160
 but reminding them that God remembers them too.

00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:47.580
 And that they,

00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:49.980
 in the midst of everything that's going on,

00:29:50.280 --> 00:29:51.900
 are to be a holy people.

00:29:52.540 --> 00:29:53.500
 In verse 15,

00:29:54.100 --> 00:29:55.160
 in chapter 1,

00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:55.460
 he says,

00:29:55.460 --> 00:29:55.480
 He says,

00:29:55.540 --> 00:29:57.360
 but as he who called you is holy,

00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:59.120
 you also be holy

00:29:59.120 --> 00:30:01.160
 in all your conduct.

00:30:02.040 --> 00:30:03.860
 He is saying you are set apart

00:30:03.860 --> 00:30:04.720
 by God.

00:30:04.800 --> 00:30:05.940
 And so in the midst of

00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:08.220
 all this suffering that you are facing,

00:30:08.580 --> 00:30:10.500
 you are to be God's people,

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:12.740
 that you are to be a holy people,

00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:13.680
 set apart,

00:30:14.100 --> 00:30:15.040
 and that your conduct

00:30:15.040 --> 00:30:16.240
 is to be holy

00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:18.620
 in the midst of them.

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:22.579
 So all this adds up to Peter

00:30:22.579 --> 00:30:24.239
 seeking to equip them

00:30:24.239 --> 00:30:26.799
 to a life of mission together,

00:30:26.919 --> 00:30:28.879
 being the witnesses of God

00:30:28.879 --> 00:30:32.159
 in the midst of a very difficult environment,

00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.199
 knowing that such a life is costly.

00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:39.599
 But it's not just to merely survive

00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:40.659
 in this setting,

00:30:40.779 --> 00:30:42.339
 but to thrive.

00:30:43.139 --> 00:30:44.599
 And so at the end of chapter 1

00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:45.859
 and into chapter 2,

00:30:45.859 --> 00:30:47.719
 you have this great reminder

00:30:47.719 --> 00:30:49.639
 of the foundation of all of it,

00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:52.159
 and that is God's Word.

00:30:52.899 --> 00:30:54.339
 It is God's Word.

00:30:54.399 --> 00:30:55.819
 At the end of chapter 1,

00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:58.259
 you're reminded that the Word of the Lord

00:30:58.259 --> 00:30:59.839
 remains forever,

00:30:59.939 --> 00:31:02.419
 that this is a powerful Word.

00:31:03.379 --> 00:31:05.199
 And then as you go into chapter 2,

00:31:05.639 --> 00:31:06.699
 you're reminded that

00:31:06.699 --> 00:31:09.619
 this Word causes offense,

00:31:10.059 --> 00:31:12.859
 but it also causes blessing.

00:31:12.859 --> 00:31:15.439
 It is a powerful Word.

00:31:15.859 --> 00:31:18.579
 And I use the reminder

00:31:18.579 --> 00:31:21.279
 of Charles Spurgeon's conversion

00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:24.299
 when we were last looking at this passage

00:31:24.299 --> 00:31:25.240
 in chapter 2

00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:28.539
 to show the power of God's Word,

00:31:28.639 --> 00:31:30.839
 how Charles Spurgeon's own conversion

00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:32.859
 was through God's Word

00:31:32.859 --> 00:31:34.179
 speaking to him

00:31:34.179 --> 00:31:36.919
 in a very powerful way.

00:31:37.619 --> 00:31:39.099
 It was almost by mistake

00:31:39.099 --> 00:31:40.519
 that Charles Spurgeon

00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:41.740
 ended up in the place

00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:43.719
 where he heard God's Word

00:31:43.719 --> 00:31:44.599
 convicting him.

00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:45.399
 He was on his way

00:31:45.399 --> 00:31:46.139
 to church

00:31:46.139 --> 00:31:47.959
 one Sunday morning,

00:31:48.059 --> 00:31:48.959
 but it was in the midst

00:31:48.959 --> 00:31:49.519
 of winter

00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:50.419
 and there was this great

00:31:50.419 --> 00:31:52.579
 snowstorm going on around him

00:31:52.579 --> 00:31:53.599
 and he found himself

00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:55.799
 ducking into a side street

00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:57.099
 to shelter from

00:31:57.099 --> 00:31:58.740
 the snow for a time.

00:31:58.799 --> 00:31:59.519
 But he noticed

00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:00.439
 that there was

00:32:00.439 --> 00:32:02.119
 a small Methodist church

00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:03.259
 in the street there.

00:32:03.339 --> 00:32:03.679
 And so,

00:32:04.199 --> 00:32:05.199
 he went in there

00:32:05.199 --> 00:32:06.299
 instead of carrying on

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:06.980
 to the church

00:32:06.980 --> 00:32:07.859
 that he'd planned

00:32:07.859 --> 00:32:08.619
 to go to.

00:32:09.059 --> 00:32:10.419
 The minister of the church

00:32:10.419 --> 00:32:10.819
 there

00:32:10.819 --> 00:32:11.839
 hadn't managed

00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:12.799
 to get to church

00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:14.079
 because of the snowstorm

00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:15.339
 and it was a different preacher

00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:16.879
 who hadn't intended

00:32:16.879 --> 00:32:18.539
 to be preaching that day.

00:32:19.139 --> 00:32:19.500
 And so,

00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:20.720
 everything maybe seemed

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:22.740
 to be working against him.

00:32:23.500 --> 00:32:24.419
 He hadn't got to

00:32:24.419 --> 00:32:25.419
 where he wanted to be.

00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:27.039
 He wasn't hearing the preacher

00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:27.740
 that was planned

00:32:27.740 --> 00:32:29.000
 in the church he was in.

00:32:29.339 --> 00:32:29.759
 But yet,

00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:30.839
 God had appointed

00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:32.079
 this time for him

00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:32.839
 to hear words

00:32:33.500 --> 00:32:35.240
 that transformed his life.

00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:36.519
 The preacher

00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:37.599
 who stood to preach

00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:38.180
 that day,

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:38.579
 he said,

00:32:38.700 --> 00:32:39.940
 didn't have much to say.

00:32:40.460 --> 00:32:41.799
 And he kept repeating

00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:42.819
 a verse.

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:44.539
 It was from Isaiah 45,

00:32:44.900 --> 00:32:45.920
 verse 22.

00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:47.420
 Look unto me

00:32:47.420 --> 00:32:48.460
 and be ye saved

00:32:48.460 --> 00:32:50.140
 all the ends of the earth

00:32:50.140 --> 00:32:51.620
 for I am God

00:32:51.620 --> 00:32:54.079
 and there is none else.

00:32:54.740 --> 00:32:56.299
 This verse was repeated

00:32:56.299 --> 00:32:57.839
 so often

00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:58.819
 and yet it spoke

00:32:58.819 --> 00:32:59.859
 so powerfully

00:32:59.859 --> 00:33:01.819
 to Charles Spurgeon.

00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:03.759
 The word of the Lord

00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:05.579
 remains forever.

00:33:06.019 --> 00:33:07.779
 It is a powerful word

00:33:07.779 --> 00:33:08.920
 and it's a word

00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:10.079
 that is still able

00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:10.940
 to convict

00:33:10.940 --> 00:33:12.420
 and to convert.

00:33:13.299 --> 00:33:13.559
 And so,

00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:14.940
 as we go on

00:33:14.940 --> 00:33:15.839
 in this chapter,

00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:16.759
 as we remember

00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.000
 the power of God's word,

00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:20.379
 we come into

00:33:20.379 --> 00:33:21.619
 chapter 2,

00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:22.420
 verse 9

00:33:22.420 --> 00:33:23.879
 to verse 12

00:33:23.879 --> 00:33:24.879
 together today.

00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:27.140
 And here we see

00:33:27.140 --> 00:33:28.839
 that this trusting

00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:30.539
 and unchanging power

00:33:30.539 --> 00:33:31.819
 of God's truth,

00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:33.599
 we see that it led

00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:35.480
 from just looking up

00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:36.039
 to God

00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:37.399
 and rejoicing in Him

00:33:37.399 --> 00:33:38.980
 to looking out

00:33:38.980 --> 00:33:40.539
 and to looking out

00:33:40.539 --> 00:33:42.099
 to those around us,

00:33:42.179 --> 00:33:42.980
 to looking out

00:33:42.980 --> 00:33:44.579
 around the people

00:33:44.579 --> 00:33:45.299
 that we have

00:33:45.299 --> 00:33:46.179
 around us.

00:33:46.419 --> 00:33:47.319
 And that's what Peter

00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:48.099
 is directing

00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:49.859
 the people here to,

00:33:50.299 --> 00:33:51.299
 to look to God,

00:33:51.379 --> 00:33:52.439
 to trust in Him,

00:33:52.859 --> 00:33:54.059
 but also to be aware

00:33:54.059 --> 00:33:54.699
 of those

00:33:54.699 --> 00:33:56.179
 who are around them

00:33:56.179 --> 00:33:57.419
 and the power

00:33:57.419 --> 00:33:58.699
 that this word has

00:33:58.699 --> 00:34:00.079
 to transform.

00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:01.480
 and it's about

00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:03.240
 being Christian

00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:05.699
 witnesses to this end.

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:06.819
 And so that's what

00:34:06.819 --> 00:34:07.639
 we're thinking about

00:34:07.639 --> 00:34:08.980
 together here

00:34:08.980 --> 00:34:09.619
 this morning

00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:10.519
 as we continue

00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:11.659
 our study.

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:12.279
 We're going to look

00:34:12.279 --> 00:34:13.139
 at verse 9

00:34:13.139 --> 00:34:15.000
 to verse 12

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:17.940
 under the heading

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:19.039
 of being Christian

00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:19.559
 witnesses

00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:21.659
 in a hostile world

00:34:21.659 --> 00:34:22.559
 but remembering

00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:24.480
 why we are to be so.

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.179
 And the first thing

00:34:26.179 --> 00:34:27.240
 is the mission

00:34:27.240 --> 00:34:28.599
 of our witness.

00:34:29.340 --> 00:34:30.280
 The second thing

00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:31.599
 is the motivation

00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:32.480
 of our witness.

00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:34.260
 And the third thing

00:34:34.260 --> 00:34:35.099
 is the manner

00:34:35.099 --> 00:34:36.860
 of our witness.

00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:38.519
 Many of the things

00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:39.079
 that we're looking

00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:40.119
 at here today,

00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:41.740
 they're almost

00:34:41.740 --> 00:34:42.659
 a reminder of things

00:34:42.659 --> 00:34:43.619
 that we've looked at

00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:45.679
 in the past as well.

00:34:46.539 --> 00:34:47.500
 So first we have

00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:48.159
 the mission

00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:50.159
 of our witness.

00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:51.820
 And he says

00:34:51.820 --> 00:34:53.139
 in verse 9 here,

00:34:53.139 --> 00:34:55.500
 you are a chosen race,

00:34:56.179 --> 00:34:57.619
 a royal priesthood,

00:34:58.119 --> 00:34:59.219
 a holy nation,

00:34:59.339 --> 00:34:59.980
 a people

00:34:59.980 --> 00:35:01.799
 of his own possession

00:35:01.799 --> 00:35:04.359
 that you may proclaim

00:35:04.359 --> 00:35:05.819
 the excellencies

00:35:05.819 --> 00:35:06.400
 of him

00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:07.379
 who called you

00:35:07.379 --> 00:35:08.239
 out of darkness

00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:11.079
 into his marvelous light.

00:35:11.859 --> 00:35:12.819
 If you were watching

00:35:12.819 --> 00:35:14.619
 the coronation yesterday

00:35:14.619 --> 00:35:15.500
 or if you saw

00:35:15.500 --> 00:35:16.920
 any of it afterwards,

00:35:17.579 --> 00:35:18.480
 did you feel

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:20.059
 a part of it?

00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:21.579
 Did you feel

00:35:21.579 --> 00:35:22.839
 that you were involved

00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:23.640
 in it

00:35:23.640 --> 00:35:24.820
 in a special way?

00:35:25.860 --> 00:35:27.300
 Did it make you think,

00:35:28.059 --> 00:35:29.700
 there's my king?

00:35:31.260 --> 00:35:32.760
 Now the coronation

00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:33.600
 is past,

00:35:34.120 --> 00:35:34.900
 do you feel

00:35:34.900 --> 00:35:36.079
 that you have access

00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:37.980
 to this king?

00:35:39.820 --> 00:35:40.740
 In many ways,

00:35:40.820 --> 00:35:41.720
 we maybe feel

00:35:41.720 --> 00:35:43.559
 detached from it.

00:35:43.620 --> 00:35:44.700
 We're only seeing it

00:35:44.700 --> 00:35:46.260
 on our screens

00:35:46.260 --> 00:35:47.559
 or reading about it

00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:48.360
 online

00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:49.539
 or in newspapers.

00:35:49.539 --> 00:35:52.420
 We can't just

00:35:52.420 --> 00:35:53.719
 call around

00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:54.840
 and ask the king

00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:56.559
 for advice

00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:57.539
 or help.

00:35:58.179 --> 00:35:59.519
 He may be king,

00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:01.159
 but he's king

00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:02.739
 at a distance.

00:36:03.739 --> 00:36:05.059
 But what we have

00:36:05.059 --> 00:36:06.559
 before us here

00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:07.639
 and the reminder

00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:08.340
 that Peter

00:36:08.340 --> 00:36:09.679
 is giving

00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:10.400
 to the people

00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:11.460
 then and to ourselves

00:36:11.460 --> 00:36:12.239
 today is

00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.079
 that we have a king

00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:15.440
 who is very different.

00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:17.559
 a king

00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:19.019
 whose subjects

00:36:19.019 --> 00:36:19.760
 we are,

00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:21.380
 but a king

00:36:21.380 --> 00:36:22.960
 whose relationship

00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:23.700
 with us

00:36:23.700 --> 00:36:24.659
 is very different

00:36:24.659 --> 00:36:25.320
 and ours

00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:26.599
 with him.

00:36:27.659 --> 00:36:28.840
 And what he says

00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:30.159
 in these verses

00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:31.179
 are powerful

00:36:31.179 --> 00:36:32.720
 reminders to us

00:36:32.720 --> 00:36:34.340
 of what we have

00:36:34.340 --> 00:36:35.500
 with God.

00:36:35.500 --> 00:36:38.559
 after the coronation

00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:39.340
 of the king

00:36:39.340 --> 00:36:39.820
 yesterday,

00:36:40.099 --> 00:36:40.960
 do you feel

00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:42.280
 it's your mission

00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:43.739
 to proclaim

00:36:43.739 --> 00:36:45.260
 the excellencies

00:36:45.260 --> 00:36:45.880
 of him?

00:36:46.780 --> 00:36:47.800
 Do you feel

00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:48.840
 that that's in order

00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:49.920
 for you to proclaim

00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:51.039
 the excellencies

00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:52.219
 of King Charles?

00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:54.099
 Well,

00:36:54.139 --> 00:36:54.739
 we'll seek

00:36:54.739 --> 00:36:55.760
 to uphold him

00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:56.500
 in prayer,

00:36:56.980 --> 00:36:58.059
 but our prayer

00:36:58.059 --> 00:36:58.860
 would be that

00:36:58.860 --> 00:36:59.679
 he,

00:37:00.380 --> 00:37:00.880
 as king

00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:01.360
 in this,

00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:02.440
 over our nation,

00:37:02.739 --> 00:37:03.460
 would proclaim

00:37:03.460 --> 00:37:04.239
 the excellencies

00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:05.000
 of him

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:06.000
 who is king

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:07.320
 over all nations

00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:08.840
 and all

00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:09.940
 the world,

00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:11.780
 that he would

00:37:11.780 --> 00:37:12.500
 call him

00:37:12.500 --> 00:37:13.639
 from darkness

00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:14.920
 to light

00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:16.059
 to know the joy

00:37:16.059 --> 00:37:17.380
 of the salvation

00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:18.000
 that there is

00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:18.659
 in the king

00:37:18.659 --> 00:37:20.519
 who is Christ Jesus.

00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:23.000
 And if we know

00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:23.639
 Christ

00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:25.199
 as king,

00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:27.039
 then as Peter

00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:28.179
 is saying here,

00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:29.639
 as his people,

00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:31.099
 as his subjects,

00:37:31.219 --> 00:37:32.340
 as his children,

00:37:33.099 --> 00:37:33.780
 that we are

00:37:33.780 --> 00:37:34.780
 to proclaim

00:37:34.780 --> 00:37:36.280
 the excellencies

00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:36.960
 of him

00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:38.540
 who called us

00:37:38.540 --> 00:37:39.680
 from darkness

00:37:39.680 --> 00:37:41.280
 to his marvelous

00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:42.220
 light.

00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:44.880
 This is the mission

00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:46.560
 of our witness,

00:37:47.100 --> 00:37:48.240
 to proclaim

00:37:48.240 --> 00:37:49.320
 him,

00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:50.600
 to make

00:37:50.600 --> 00:37:52.019
 Christ known,

00:37:52.540 --> 00:37:53.780
 to show him

00:37:53.780 --> 00:37:54.760
 to the world

00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:55.780
 in which we live,

00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:57.640
 knowing for ourselves

00:37:57.640 --> 00:37:58.460
 the wonder

00:37:58.460 --> 00:37:59.820
 that is our king,

00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:01.220
 Christ Jesus.

00:38:01.219 --> 00:38:01.359
 Jesus.

00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:03.719
 Peter is writing

00:38:03.719 --> 00:38:04.739
 to these people

00:38:04.739 --> 00:38:06.199
 who were scattered,

00:38:06.759 --> 00:38:07.959
 who were persecuted,

00:38:08.379 --> 00:38:09.399
 but he's writing

00:38:09.399 --> 00:38:09.739
 to them,

00:38:09.819 --> 00:38:10.480
 reminding them,

00:38:10.959 --> 00:38:12.319
 you are God's

00:38:12.319 --> 00:38:12.959
 people.

00:38:14.439 --> 00:38:15.239
 And he reminds

00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:15.919
 them of this

00:38:15.919 --> 00:38:17.319
 privilege and

00:38:17.319 --> 00:38:18.639
 blessing that is

00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:19.000
 theirs.

00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:19.719
 Through these

00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:21.359
 ways he describes

00:38:21.359 --> 00:38:21.559
 them,

00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:22.399
 four ways he

00:38:22.399 --> 00:38:23.259
 describes them

00:38:23.259 --> 00:38:24.099
 there in verse

00:38:24.099 --> 00:38:24.539
 nine.

00:38:24.539 --> 00:38:25.579
 And they're

00:38:25.579 --> 00:38:26.279
 very much

00:38:26.279 --> 00:38:28.340
 Old Testament

00:38:28.340 --> 00:38:29.360
 language here

00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:30.320
 describing them,

00:38:30.619 --> 00:38:31.300
 but reminding

00:38:31.300 --> 00:38:32.340
 us how God

00:38:32.340 --> 00:38:33.759
 continues to

00:38:33.759 --> 00:38:34.980
 call his people

00:38:34.980 --> 00:38:36.199
 through every

00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:37.279
 generation to

00:38:37.279 --> 00:38:39.019
 proclaim his

00:38:39.019 --> 00:38:39.820
 excellencies.

00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:40.500
 And you see

00:38:40.500 --> 00:38:42.300
 these four ways

00:38:42.300 --> 00:38:43.480
 that he describes

00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:43.800
 them.

00:38:44.539 --> 00:38:45.139
 When you read

00:38:45.139 --> 00:38:46.460
 through the Old

00:38:46.460 --> 00:38:46.820
 Testament,

00:38:46.900 --> 00:38:47.659
 you see how God

00:38:47.659 --> 00:38:48.719
 dealt patiently

00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:49.699
 and graciously

00:38:49.699 --> 00:38:51.039
 with his people

00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:52.000
 again and again.

00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:53.039
 For example,

00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:54.279
 in Exodus 6,

00:38:54.420 --> 00:38:55.039
 verse 7,

00:38:55.099 --> 00:38:55.559
 he says,

00:38:56.039 --> 00:38:56.880
 I will take

00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:57.500
 you to be

00:38:57.500 --> 00:38:58.500
 my people

00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:59.940
 and I will

00:38:59.940 --> 00:39:01.179
 be your God

00:39:01.179 --> 00:39:02.079
 and you shall

00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:02.900
 know that I am

00:39:02.900 --> 00:39:03.559
 the Lord your

00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:04.619
 God who has

00:39:04.619 --> 00:39:05.380
 brought you out

00:39:05.380 --> 00:39:06.059
 from under the

00:39:06.059 --> 00:39:07.159
 burdens of the

00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:07.659
 Egyptians.

00:39:08.420 --> 00:39:08.860
 There's this

00:39:08.860 --> 00:39:10.139
 reminder that we

00:39:10.139 --> 00:39:11.840
 need God to be

00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:12.539
 our God,

00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:13.639
 to be our

00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:14.139
 king.

00:39:14.579 --> 00:39:15.639
 We need to be

00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:16.559
 his people,

00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:18.300
 to enjoy his

00:39:18.300 --> 00:39:19.619
 blessings and

00:39:19.619 --> 00:39:20.239
 the abundant

00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:21.279
 blessing that is

00:39:21.279 --> 00:39:22.860
 salvation through

00:39:22.860 --> 00:39:24.019
 Jesus Christ.

00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:25.400
 And then he

00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:26.700
 uses these words

00:39:26.700 --> 00:39:27.980
 to describe how

00:39:27.980 --> 00:39:28.820
 they are shown

00:39:28.820 --> 00:39:30.120
 as a people.

00:39:30.240 --> 00:39:31.000
 He says first

00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:31.680
 that you are a

00:39:31.680 --> 00:39:33.420
 chosen race.

00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:35.720
 You are a

00:39:35.720 --> 00:39:36.740
 chosen race.

00:39:37.220 --> 00:39:37.720
 I remember

00:39:37.720 --> 00:39:39.000
 from the

00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:39.599
 beginning of

00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:40.220
 this letter,

00:39:40.380 --> 00:39:41.180
 he's writing to

00:39:41.180 --> 00:39:42.099
 these people,

00:39:42.640 --> 00:39:43.599
 but he's reminding

00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:44.079
 them that they

00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:44.860
 are a people

00:39:44.860 --> 00:39:46.079
 who are elect,

00:39:46.700 --> 00:39:47.720
 who are called

00:39:47.720 --> 00:39:48.760
 by God,

00:39:48.820 --> 00:39:49.599
 who God has

00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:50.700
 remembered.

00:39:50.699 --> 00:39:51.939
 And that's

00:39:51.939 --> 00:39:52.179
 what he's

00:39:52.179 --> 00:39:52.699
 reminding them

00:39:52.699 --> 00:39:53.239
 here again.

00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:54.039
 You are a

00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:55.679
 chosen race,

00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:57.299
 a people God

00:39:57.299 --> 00:39:58.899
 has chosen for

00:39:58.899 --> 00:39:59.460
 himself.

00:39:59.859 --> 00:40:00.500
 Undeserving

00:40:00.500 --> 00:40:02.179
 sinners that we

00:40:02.179 --> 00:40:02.859
 are, he has

00:40:02.859 --> 00:40:04.559
 chosen to call

00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:06.259
 us his people,

00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:07.519
 his own.

00:40:08.359 --> 00:40:09.039
 We are a

00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:10.939
 distinct people.

00:40:11.739 --> 00:40:12.659
 And he goes on

00:40:12.659 --> 00:40:14.000
 to show this as

00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:14.679
 well by saying

00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:15.439
 you're a chosen

00:40:15.439 --> 00:40:16.279
 people, you are

00:40:16.279 --> 00:40:18.579
 a royal priesthood.

00:40:18.579 --> 00:40:20.119
 Again, the

00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:21.299
 Old Testament

00:40:21.299 --> 00:40:22.299
 language here,

00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:23.059
 when the priest

00:40:23.059 --> 00:40:24.199
 was the one

00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:24.940
 who would come

00:40:24.940 --> 00:40:25.840
 before God

00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:26.460
 and offer up

00:40:26.460 --> 00:40:27.739
 prayers for

00:40:27.739 --> 00:40:28.519
 the people.

00:40:29.259 --> 00:40:29.659
 The people

00:40:29.659 --> 00:40:30.739
 were separated

00:40:30.739 --> 00:40:32.400
 from God.

00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:33.960
 And yet,

00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:34.579
 here he is

00:40:34.579 --> 00:40:35.380
 reminding us

00:40:35.380 --> 00:40:36.779
 we have access

00:40:36.779 --> 00:40:38.179
 to God.

00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:39.719
 Jesus, our

00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:41.019
 King, we

00:40:41.019 --> 00:40:41.380
 don't even have

00:40:41.380 --> 00:40:41.739
 to make an

00:40:41.739 --> 00:40:42.619
 appointment to

00:40:42.619 --> 00:40:43.480
 try and see

00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:43.599
 him.

00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:44.279
 We can come

00:40:44.279 --> 00:40:45.360
 to him at

00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:46.400
 any time.

00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:47.960
 We have

00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:49.440
 access to

00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:50.940
 him, unrestricted

00:40:50.940 --> 00:40:52.980
 access, unhindered

00:40:52.980 --> 00:40:54.320
 access, because

00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:55.280
 we are a chosen

00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:56.519
 people, because

00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:57.920
 we are a royal

00:40:57.920 --> 00:40:59.380
 priesthood.

00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:01.780
 We are a

00:41:01.780 --> 00:41:03.639
 holy nation, he

00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:04.220
 says.

00:41:04.980 --> 00:41:06.079
 That is, God

00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:07.240
 through Jesus

00:41:07.240 --> 00:41:08.680
 has changed

00:41:08.680 --> 00:41:09.599
 our lives.

00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:10.800
 And that

00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:11.619
 allows us to

00:41:11.619 --> 00:41:12.720
 be something we

00:41:12.720 --> 00:41:13.639
 could never be

00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:15.420
 before, a holy

00:41:15.420 --> 00:41:16.119
 people.

00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:18.460
 A people set

00:41:18.460 --> 00:41:19.680
 apart for

00:41:19.680 --> 00:41:20.920
 God's glory.

00:41:22.380 --> 00:41:22.920
 They are a

00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:24.059
 scattered people,

00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:24.980
 just as so

00:41:24.980 --> 00:41:25.559
 often in the

00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:26.660
 Old Testament,

00:41:26.860 --> 00:41:27.660
 God's people

00:41:27.660 --> 00:41:28.740
 were scattered

00:41:28.740 --> 00:41:29.619
 far and wide,

00:41:29.740 --> 00:41:30.300
 taken into

00:41:30.300 --> 00:41:31.579
 exile so

00:41:31.579 --> 00:41:32.460
 often, but yet

00:41:32.460 --> 00:41:32.840
 they were to

00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:33.680
 be a holy

00:41:33.680 --> 00:41:35.519
 people, God's

00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:36.460
 representatives,

00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:37.840
 no matter

00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:38.539
 where they

00:41:38.539 --> 00:41:39.460
 were or who

00:41:39.460 --> 00:41:40.240
 they were

00:41:40.240 --> 00:41:40.519
 with.

00:41:40.579 --> 00:41:41.180
 And so is

00:41:41.180 --> 00:41:41.700
 the same

00:41:41.700 --> 00:41:43.059
 true for

00:41:43.059 --> 00:41:43.539
 us.

00:41:43.539 --> 00:41:44.539
 God's people

00:41:44.539 --> 00:41:45.539
 are

00:41:45.539 --> 00:41:46.820
 people for

00:41:46.820 --> 00:41:49.860
 his own

00:41:49.860 --> 00:41:51.000
 possession.

00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:52.619
 It says in

00:41:52.619 --> 00:41:53.579
 another translation,

00:41:54.059 --> 00:41:54.739
 a peculiar

00:41:54.739 --> 00:41:56.420
 people, which

00:41:56.420 --> 00:41:57.179
 has maybe been

00:41:57.179 --> 00:41:58.420
 misunderstood as

00:41:58.420 --> 00:41:59.000
 seen as maybe

00:41:59.000 --> 00:41:59.659
 Christians as

00:41:59.659 --> 00:42:00.539
 just being a

00:42:00.539 --> 00:42:01.800
 strange kind of

00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:02.320
 people, but

00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:03.059
 that's not what

00:42:03.059 --> 00:42:04.099
 it means at

00:42:04.099 --> 00:42:04.480
 all.

00:42:04.699 --> 00:42:05.659
 A people for

00:42:05.659 --> 00:42:06.440
 his possession,

00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:07.179
 a peculiar

00:42:07.179 --> 00:42:08.920
 people, is a

00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:09.860
 people who are

00:42:09.860 --> 00:42:11.480
 precious to

00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:12.000
 God.

00:42:13.180 --> 00:42:13.760
 That's the

00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:14.380
 real meaning

00:42:14.380 --> 00:42:15.800
 behind that

00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:16.140
 word.

00:42:16.340 --> 00:42:17.660
 It's purchased,

00:42:18.160 --> 00:42:19.220
 a purchased

00:42:19.220 --> 00:42:21.220
 possession, a

00:42:21.220 --> 00:42:22.380
 unique possession,

00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:23.579
 something of

00:42:23.579 --> 00:42:24.780
 rare beauty.

00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:25.280
 That's how

00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:26.559
 Christians are

00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:27.140
 to be.

00:42:28.200 --> 00:42:29.039
 Malachi chapter

00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:30.780
 3 verse 7

00:42:30.780 --> 00:42:31.260
 says,

00:42:31.380 --> 00:42:31.880
 They shall be

00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:32.640
 mine, says the

00:42:32.640 --> 00:42:33.500
 Lord of hosts,

00:42:33.940 --> 00:42:34.680
 in the day when

00:42:34.680 --> 00:42:35.559
 I make up my

00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:36.260
 treasured

00:42:36.260 --> 00:42:36.780
 possession.

00:42:37.579 --> 00:42:38.240
 It's the same

00:42:38.240 --> 00:42:39.280
 word, possession,

00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:40.100
 there as it is

00:42:40.100 --> 00:42:40.960
 here, a

00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:42.220
 treasured

00:42:42.220 --> 00:42:42.820
 possession.

00:42:44.040 --> 00:42:44.620
 Things of

00:42:44.620 --> 00:42:46.300
 beauty, bought

00:42:46.300 --> 00:42:46.920
 at a high

00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:47.600
 price.

00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:49.060
 The price was

00:42:49.060 --> 00:42:50.500
 Jesus giving

00:42:50.500 --> 00:42:52.080
 his life as

00:42:52.080 --> 00:42:53.360
 a ransom for

00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:53.760
 us.

00:42:55.080 --> 00:42:56.220
 And so, here

00:42:56.220 --> 00:42:56.860
 is what we

00:42:56.860 --> 00:42:58.260
 have as his

00:42:58.260 --> 00:42:58.920
 people, a

00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:00.720
 chosen race, a

00:43:00.720 --> 00:43:01.740
 royal priesthood,

00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:02.840
 a holy nation,

00:43:03.340 --> 00:43:04.180
 a people who

00:43:04.180 --> 00:43:05.400
 are a precious

00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:07.140
 possession to

00:43:07.140 --> 00:43:07.420
 him.

00:43:07.460 --> 00:43:08.820
 Our king keeps

00:43:08.820 --> 00:43:09.880
 a close watch

00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:10.400
 on us.

00:43:10.460 --> 00:43:10.780
 He looks

00:43:10.780 --> 00:43:11.980
 after us with

00:43:11.980 --> 00:43:12.580
 the greatest

00:43:12.580 --> 00:43:13.320
 of care.

00:43:13.780 --> 00:43:14.500
 He protects

00:43:14.500 --> 00:43:15.000
 us, he

00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:16.160
 shelters us,

00:43:17.220 --> 00:43:18.019
 and therefore

00:43:18.019 --> 00:43:18.960
 he says,

00:43:19.740 --> 00:43:20.420
 we are to

00:43:20.420 --> 00:43:21.980
 proclaim the

00:43:21.980 --> 00:43:23.019
 excellencies of

00:43:23.019 --> 00:43:24.140
 him who

00:43:24.140 --> 00:43:25.039
 called us out

00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:25.700
 of darkness

00:43:25.700 --> 00:43:27.080
 into his

00:43:27.080 --> 00:43:28.280
 marvelous light.

00:43:29.059 --> 00:43:29.700
 The more

00:43:29.700 --> 00:43:30.940
 we know the

00:43:30.940 --> 00:43:31.660
 beauty of

00:43:31.660 --> 00:43:32.940
 Jesus, the

00:43:32.940 --> 00:43:33.600
 more we know

00:43:33.600 --> 00:43:34.440
 the grace and

00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:35.460
 the love that

00:43:35.460 --> 00:43:36.220
 he has shown

00:43:36.220 --> 00:43:36.980
 to us to

00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:37.820
 make us his

00:43:37.820 --> 00:43:38.900
 people, to

00:43:38.900 --> 00:43:39.760
 purchase us

00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:40.320
 as his

00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:41.440
 people, the

00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:42.139
 more we are

00:43:42.139 --> 00:43:43.139
 to proclaim

00:43:43.139 --> 00:43:44.659
 the excellencies

00:43:44.659 --> 00:43:46.880
 of him, the

00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:48.219
 king who has

00:43:48.219 --> 00:43:49.059
 loved us

00:43:49.059 --> 00:43:50.699
 with a love

00:43:50.699 --> 00:43:51.880
 like no

00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:52.320
 other.

00:43:53.980 --> 00:43:54.880
 So, the

00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:56.219
 mission of

00:43:56.219 --> 00:43:57.139
 our witness

00:43:57.139 --> 00:43:58.320
 is to

00:43:58.320 --> 00:43:59.539
 proclaim him

00:43:59.539 --> 00:44:00.800
 who has done

00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:01.840
 all of this

00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:02.820
 for his

00:44:02.820 --> 00:44:03.420
 people.

00:44:03.420 --> 00:44:03.559
 people.

00:44:04.700 --> 00:44:05.280
 The second

00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:05.820
 thing we want

00:44:05.820 --> 00:44:06.440
 to see here

00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:06.820
 is the

00:44:06.820 --> 00:44:08.420
 motivation of

00:44:08.420 --> 00:44:09.220
 our witness.

00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:10.460
 We see this

00:44:10.460 --> 00:44:11.360
 in verse 10.

00:44:12.099 --> 00:44:12.659
 Once you

00:44:12.659 --> 00:44:13.260
 were not a

00:44:13.260 --> 00:44:13.900
 people, but

00:44:13.900 --> 00:44:15.000
 now you are

00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:15.960
 God's people.

00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:16.700
 Once you

00:44:16.700 --> 00:44:17.159
 had not

00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:17.659
 received

00:44:17.659 --> 00:44:18.820
 mercy, but

00:44:18.820 --> 00:44:20.019
 now you

00:44:20.019 --> 00:44:21.280
 have received

00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:22.019
 mercy.

00:44:23.220 --> 00:44:23.900
 The mission

00:44:23.900 --> 00:44:24.260
 of our

00:44:24.260 --> 00:44:26.240
 witness, it

00:44:26.240 --> 00:44:26.700
 was to

00:44:26.700 --> 00:44:27.400
 proclaim.

00:44:28.220 --> 00:44:28.700
 And if we

00:44:28.700 --> 00:44:29.039
 need any

00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:30.099
 more motivation

00:44:30.099 --> 00:44:30.780
 in all that

00:44:30.780 --> 00:44:31.519
 Christ has

00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:32.320
 done for us,

00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:32.539
 we are

00:44:32.539 --> 00:44:33.260
 reminded of

00:44:33.260 --> 00:44:33.820
 it here

00:44:33.820 --> 00:44:35.080
 in verse

00:44:35.080 --> 00:44:35.680
 10.

00:44:36.860 --> 00:44:38.140
 Once you

00:44:38.140 --> 00:44:38.780
 were not

00:44:38.780 --> 00:44:40.160
 a people,

00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:41.840
 but now

00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:42.820
 you are

00:44:42.820 --> 00:44:43.420
 God's

00:44:43.420 --> 00:44:43.920
 people.

00:44:44.820 --> 00:44:45.340
 Once you

00:44:45.340 --> 00:44:45.740
 had not

00:44:45.740 --> 00:44:46.160
 received

00:44:46.160 --> 00:44:46.720
 mercy, but

00:44:46.720 --> 00:44:48.000
 now you

00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:49.000
 have received

00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:49.400
 mercy.

00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:51.539
 We were

00:44:51.539 --> 00:44:52.460
 despised, we

00:44:52.460 --> 00:44:53.120
 were worthless

00:44:53.120 --> 00:44:53.780
 people.

00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:55.180
 We were

00:44:55.180 --> 00:44:55.840
 sinners who

00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:56.460
 were lost,

00:44:57.380 --> 00:44:58.640
 but now we

00:44:58.640 --> 00:44:59.400
 are God's

00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:00.120
 prized

00:45:00.120 --> 00:45:00.740
 possessions.

00:45:00.739 --> 00:45:00.979
 sins.

00:45:01.619 --> 00:45:02.339
 We have

00:45:02.339 --> 00:45:03.879
 mercy shown

00:45:03.879 --> 00:45:04.599
 to us.

00:45:05.539 --> 00:45:06.559
 God sent

00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:08.079
 his Son to

00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:08.959
 seek and to

00:45:08.959 --> 00:45:09.519
 save the

00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:10.039
 lost, and

00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:10.839
 how precious

00:45:10.839 --> 00:45:12.239
 we are to

00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:12.539
 him.

00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:13.659
 Isn't it a

00:45:13.659 --> 00:45:14.839
 wonderful thing

00:45:14.839 --> 00:45:15.799
 that we can

00:45:15.799 --> 00:45:16.539
 know mercy,

00:45:17.539 --> 00:45:18.859
 to know

00:45:18.859 --> 00:45:20.919
 his mercy?

00:45:22.500 --> 00:45:23.219
 Once we

00:45:23.219 --> 00:45:23.559
 were just

00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:24.199
 lost,

00:45:24.659 --> 00:45:25.079
 worthless

00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:25.819
 people.

00:45:25.820 --> 00:45:27.519
 now we

00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:28.340
 are God's

00:45:28.340 --> 00:45:28.840
 people.

00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:31.860
 Do we

00:45:31.860 --> 00:45:33.220
 see ourselves

00:45:33.220 --> 00:45:34.860
 as God's

00:45:34.860 --> 00:45:35.559
 people, or

00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:36.120
 do we still

00:45:36.120 --> 00:45:37.100
 see ourselves

00:45:37.100 --> 00:45:38.039
 as our

00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:38.920
 own people?

00:45:40.260 --> 00:45:40.740
 We are

00:45:40.740 --> 00:45:41.340
 his, we

00:45:41.340 --> 00:45:42.180
 are purchased

00:45:42.180 --> 00:45:43.220
 with a

00:45:43.220 --> 00:45:43.700
 price.

00:45:44.220 --> 00:45:45.039
 We belong

00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:46.180
 to him.

00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:48.019
 When we

00:45:48.019 --> 00:45:48.680
 know this

00:45:48.680 --> 00:45:49.840
 then, what

00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:50.940
 then is

00:45:50.940 --> 00:45:52.120
 our motivation?

00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:53.559
 when we

00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:54.139
 know the

00:45:54.139 --> 00:45:54.940
 mercy of

00:45:54.940 --> 00:45:56.239
 God, the

00:45:56.239 --> 00:45:56.880
 wonder of

00:45:56.880 --> 00:45:57.339
 all that he

00:45:57.339 --> 00:45:57.859
 has done

00:45:57.859 --> 00:45:58.480
 for us,

00:45:59.039 --> 00:45:59.659
 what is

00:45:59.659 --> 00:46:00.119
 our

00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:00.819
 motivation?

00:46:01.779 --> 00:46:02.639
 Surely that

00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:03.500
 others would

00:46:03.500 --> 00:46:04.599
 know this

00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:05.279
 mercy for

00:46:05.279 --> 00:46:05.859
 themselves.

00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:07.179
 Surely that

00:46:07.179 --> 00:46:08.019
 others would

00:46:08.019 --> 00:46:09.079
 hear that

00:46:09.079 --> 00:46:09.699
 this mercy

00:46:09.699 --> 00:46:10.279
 is there

00:46:10.279 --> 00:46:10.920
 for them,

00:46:11.779 --> 00:46:12.139
 that it

00:46:12.139 --> 00:46:12.559
 is there

00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:13.339
 for all,

00:46:14.420 --> 00:46:15.239
 to hear

00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:16.059
 this message

00:46:16.059 --> 00:46:16.460
 of the

00:46:16.460 --> 00:46:16.920
 gospel,

00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:18.339
 that we

00:46:18.339 --> 00:46:19.000
 are not a

00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:19.619
 people when

00:46:19.619 --> 00:46:19.800
 we are

00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:20.559
 apart from

00:46:20.559 --> 00:46:21.980
 God, that

00:46:21.980 --> 00:46:22.219
 we can

00:46:22.219 --> 00:46:22.579
 know the

00:46:22.579 --> 00:46:23.260
 blessing of

00:46:23.260 --> 00:46:24.579
 being God's

00:46:24.579 --> 00:46:26.500
 people, knowing

00:46:26.500 --> 00:46:27.739
 the love that

00:46:27.739 --> 00:46:28.760
 he has shown

00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:31.579
 for us, that

00:46:31.579 --> 00:46:32.400
 we would see

00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:33.579
 a perishing

00:46:33.579 --> 00:46:34.699
 people around

00:46:34.699 --> 00:46:36.139
 us and be

00:46:36.139 --> 00:46:37.239
 motivated to

00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:38.800
 show them the

00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:40.159
 mercy of

00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:40.659
 God.

00:46:42.659 --> 00:46:44.019
 A teenager

00:46:44.019 --> 00:46:45.539
 had once been

00:46:45.539 --> 00:46:46.059
 out with

00:46:46.059 --> 00:46:46.920
 their friends

00:46:46.920 --> 00:46:48.280
 and they

00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:49.440
 had their

00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:50.260
 ear pods

00:46:50.260 --> 00:46:51.139
 in, a set

00:46:51.139 --> 00:46:51.740
 of headphones,

00:46:51.900 --> 00:46:52.240
 now you get

00:46:52.240 --> 00:46:52.780
 these little

00:46:52.780 --> 00:46:53.820
 things you

00:46:53.820 --> 00:46:54.340
 put in your

00:46:54.340 --> 00:46:54.860
 ears, they're

00:46:54.860 --> 00:46:56.059
 small and

00:46:56.059 --> 00:46:56.680
 they stick in

00:46:56.680 --> 00:46:57.059
 but from

00:46:57.059 --> 00:46:57.539
 time to

00:46:57.539 --> 00:46:58.500
 time they

00:46:58.500 --> 00:46:59.119
 can fall

00:46:59.119 --> 00:46:59.400
 out.

00:46:59.480 --> 00:46:59.800
 Well this

00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:00.940
 teenager had

00:47:00.940 --> 00:47:01.440
 been out with

00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:02.000
 friends and

00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:03.280
 lost one of

00:47:03.280 --> 00:47:04.079
 their ear pods

00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:05.800
 and with their

00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:06.480
 friends had been

00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:07.380
 hunting around

00:47:07.380 --> 00:47:08.320
 trying to find

00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:09.500
 it again but

00:47:09.500 --> 00:47:10.480
 without success

00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:11.380
 so eventually

00:47:11.380 --> 00:47:12.159
 he went home to

00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:12.800
 his mother and

00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:14.079
 said I've

00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:15.059
 lost one of

00:47:15.059 --> 00:47:15.940
 my ear pods,

00:47:15.940 --> 00:47:17.460
 I've tried to

00:47:17.460 --> 00:47:18.480
 find it and

00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:19.639
 I just can't.

00:47:20.860 --> 00:47:21.200
 And the

00:47:21.200 --> 00:47:21.659
 mother, as

00:47:21.659 --> 00:47:22.440
 mothers often

00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:24.039
 do, said let's

00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:24.760
 go and have a

00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:25.039
 look.

00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:27.460
 Within minutes

00:47:27.460 --> 00:47:28.200
 the mother had

00:47:28.200 --> 00:47:28.940
 found it.

00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:30.139
 It would be no

00:47:30.139 --> 00:47:31.480
 surprise that the

00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:32.220
 child couldn't

00:47:32.220 --> 00:47:32.840
 find it but the

00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:33.519
 mother could.

00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:36.039
 And the

00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:36.760
 child said I

00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:38.280
 looked so hard.

00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:39.519
 How did you

00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:40.599
 manage to find

00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:40.840
 it?

00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:41.740
 And the

00:47:41.740 --> 00:47:42.500
 mother's reply

00:47:42.500 --> 00:47:43.119
 was this, we

00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:43.920
 weren't looking

00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:45.000
 for the same

00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:45.420
 thing.

00:47:46.539 --> 00:47:47.460
 You were just

00:47:47.460 --> 00:47:48.240
 looking for a

00:47:48.240 --> 00:47:49.159
 bit of plastic.

00:47:50.340 --> 00:47:51.300
 I was looking

00:47:51.300 --> 00:47:52.220
 for 200

00:47:52.220 --> 00:47:52.780
 pounds.

00:47:53.740 --> 00:47:54.740
 The difference

00:47:54.740 --> 00:47:55.920
 was there in

00:47:55.920 --> 00:47:56.760
 the motivation.

00:47:57.500 --> 00:47:57.980
 There was a

00:47:57.980 --> 00:47:59.220
 cost to the

00:47:59.220 --> 00:47:59.800
 mother that

00:47:59.800 --> 00:48:00.500
 wasn't there

00:48:00.500 --> 00:48:01.559
 for the son.

00:48:03.059 --> 00:48:04.360
 And that's the

00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:04.920
 way that we

00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:05.740
 should see it.

00:48:06.220 --> 00:48:07.300
 Every soul

00:48:07.300 --> 00:48:08.519
 is precious.

00:48:09.619 --> 00:48:10.720
 Every soul

00:48:10.720 --> 00:48:12.059
 is priceless.

00:48:12.059 --> 00:48:13.920
 And that's

00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:14.500
 the way we

00:48:14.500 --> 00:48:15.000
 should look

00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:15.360
 at it.

00:48:15.759 --> 00:48:16.179
 It's not

00:48:16.179 --> 00:48:17.400
 just another

00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:18.039
 person.

00:48:19.059 --> 00:48:19.539
 It's not

00:48:19.539 --> 00:48:20.320
 just someone

00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:21.119
 we maybe

00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:21.619
 don't get

00:48:21.619 --> 00:48:22.119
 along with

00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:22.460
 or don't

00:48:22.460 --> 00:48:23.279
 even like.

00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:24.679
 It is a

00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:25.559
 person made

00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:26.659
 in the image

00:48:26.659 --> 00:48:27.579
 of God.

00:48:29.019 --> 00:48:29.679
 And we

00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:30.259
 should long

00:48:30.259 --> 00:48:30.960
 for all

00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:31.739
 to know

00:48:31.739 --> 00:48:32.360
 the mercy

00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:33.659
 of God.

00:48:34.259 --> 00:48:34.639
 To know

00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:35.420
 the salvation

00:48:35.420 --> 00:48:36.400
 that there

00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:37.519
 is in

00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:38.440
 Christ Jesus.

00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:39.179
 That is the

00:48:39.179 --> 00:48:40.440
 value of a

00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:40.900
 soul.

00:48:40.900 --> 00:48:41.860
 it is

00:48:41.860 --> 00:48:42.500
 priceless.

00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:43.960
 And the

00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:44.660
 cost was

00:48:44.660 --> 00:48:45.800
 paid by

00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:46.400
 Christ

00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:46.980
 himself.

00:48:48.039 --> 00:48:48.300
 And so

00:48:48.300 --> 00:48:48.720
 therefore

00:48:48.720 --> 00:48:49.700
 what is

00:48:49.700 --> 00:48:50.000
 our

00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:50.840
 motivation

00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:53.000
 in being

00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:53.960
 Christ's

00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:54.480
 witnesses?

00:48:55.539 --> 00:48:56.500
 It's to

00:48:56.500 --> 00:48:57.519
 see everyone

00:48:57.519 --> 00:48:58.599
 as precious.

00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:00.440
 Precious to

00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:01.079
 the Lord

00:49:01.079 --> 00:49:02.660
 and needing

00:49:02.660 --> 00:49:03.700
 the mercy

00:49:03.700 --> 00:49:05.180
 of God.

00:49:05.660 --> 00:49:06.160
 So if we

00:49:06.160 --> 00:49:06.880
 have received

00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:08.340
 mercy we

00:49:08.340 --> 00:49:08.800
 should see

00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:09.539
 everyone around

00:49:09.539 --> 00:49:10.360
 us that needs

00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:10.840
 mercy.

00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:11.960
 And that

00:49:11.960 --> 00:49:12.620
 should be

00:49:12.620 --> 00:49:13.260
 our

00:49:13.260 --> 00:49:14.019
 motivation

00:49:14.019 --> 00:49:15.400
 to witness.

00:49:16.240 --> 00:49:17.440
 The final

00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:18.019
 thing we

00:49:18.019 --> 00:49:18.800
 see here

00:49:18.800 --> 00:49:20.099
 is the

00:49:20.099 --> 00:49:20.460
 manner

00:49:20.460 --> 00:49:21.599
 of our

00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:22.160
 witness.

00:49:23.180 --> 00:49:23.940
 He speaks

00:49:23.940 --> 00:49:24.320
 there in

00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:24.900
 verse 11

00:49:24.900 --> 00:49:25.620
 and 12

00:49:25.620 --> 00:49:26.240
 about our

00:49:26.240 --> 00:49:26.880
 behavior

00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:27.940
 and our

00:49:27.940 --> 00:49:28.500
 conduct.

00:49:28.500 --> 00:49:29.039
 Beloved,

00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:30.260
 I urge you

00:49:30.260 --> 00:49:30.480
 as

00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:31.079
 sojourners

00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:31.760
 and exiles

00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:32.620
 to abstain

00:49:32.620 --> 00:49:33.000
 from the

00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:33.599
 passions of

00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:34.140
 the flesh

00:49:34.140 --> 00:49:35.079
 which wage

00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:35.900
 war against

00:49:35.900 --> 00:49:36.500
 your soul.

00:49:36.500 --> 00:49:37.760
 keep your

00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:38.579
 conduct

00:49:38.579 --> 00:49:39.300
 among the

00:49:39.300 --> 00:49:39.980
 Gentiles

00:49:39.980 --> 00:49:40.659
 honorable

00:49:40.659 --> 00:49:41.639
 so that

00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:42.059
 when they

00:49:42.059 --> 00:49:42.900
 speak against

00:49:42.900 --> 00:49:43.340
 you as

00:49:43.340 --> 00:49:44.239
 evildoers

00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:45.460
 they may

00:49:45.460 --> 00:49:46.360
 see your

00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:47.280
 good deeds

00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:48.800
 and glorify

00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:50.019
 God on

00:49:50.019 --> 00:49:50.579
 the day of

00:49:50.579 --> 00:49:51.300
 licitation.

00:49:52.579 --> 00:49:52.960
 Keep

00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:53.780
 your

00:49:53.780 --> 00:49:54.599
 conduct

00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:55.280
 among the

00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:56.079
 Gentiles

00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:57.179
 honorable.

00:49:57.179 --> 00:49:57.760
 Now this

00:49:57.760 --> 00:49:58.440
 links back

00:49:58.440 --> 00:49:59.000
 as we said

00:49:59.000 --> 00:49:59.579
 before

00:49:59.579 --> 00:50:00.940
 to the

00:50:00.940 --> 00:50:01.539
 fact of

00:50:01.539 --> 00:50:02.119
 being

00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:03.019
 holy in

00:50:03.019 --> 00:50:03.780
 verse 15.

00:50:03.780 --> 00:50:06.060
 He who

00:50:06.060 --> 00:50:06.620
 has called

00:50:06.620 --> 00:50:06.940
 you is

00:50:06.940 --> 00:50:07.200
 holy,

00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:07.920
 you also

00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:08.680
 be holy

00:50:08.680 --> 00:50:09.900
 in all

00:50:09.900 --> 00:50:11.100
 your conduct.

00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:12.000
 We see

00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:12.680
 the connection

00:50:12.680 --> 00:50:13.519
 here again.

00:50:14.220 --> 00:50:14.480
 Keep

00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:15.420
 your conduct

00:50:15.420 --> 00:50:16.820
 holy.

00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:19.460
 The church,

00:50:19.660 --> 00:50:20.220
 the people

00:50:20.220 --> 00:50:21.019
 who Peter

00:50:21.019 --> 00:50:21.800
 was addressing,

00:50:22.660 --> 00:50:22.920
 they were

00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:24.019
 given a

00:50:24.019 --> 00:50:24.840
 focus of

00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:25.480
 the glory

00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:25.980
 of this

00:50:25.980 --> 00:50:26.600
 gospel.

00:50:27.900 --> 00:50:28.600
 And their

00:50:28.600 --> 00:50:29.280
 mission was

00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:29.560
 there,

00:50:29.660 --> 00:50:30.420
 their motivation

00:50:30.420 --> 00:50:31.019
 was there,

00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:31.880
 but that doesn't

00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:32.300
 mean it was

00:50:32.300 --> 00:50:32.860
 going to be

00:50:32.860 --> 00:50:33.340
 easy.

00:50:33.780 --> 00:50:34.400
 There was

00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:34.820
 going to be

00:50:34.820 --> 00:50:35.360
 many a

00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:36.640
 challenge as

00:50:36.640 --> 00:50:37.060
 they were

00:50:37.060 --> 00:50:37.980
 proclaiming

00:50:37.980 --> 00:50:39.160
 this goodness

00:50:39.160 --> 00:50:40.660
 of God.

00:50:40.980 --> 00:50:41.600
 They lived

00:50:41.600 --> 00:50:42.680
 among a

00:50:42.680 --> 00:50:43.700
 hostile people.

00:50:43.900 --> 00:50:44.220
 They faced

00:50:44.220 --> 00:50:45.140
 all kinds

00:50:45.140 --> 00:50:46.519
 of persecution

00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:47.260
 and could

00:50:47.260 --> 00:50:48.660
 justifiably,

00:50:48.780 --> 00:50:49.300
 you might say,

00:50:49.380 --> 00:50:50.200
 respond in

00:50:50.200 --> 00:50:50.600
 anger.

00:50:51.740 --> 00:50:52.360
 To have

00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:52.820
 the heart

00:50:52.820 --> 00:50:53.460
 of Jonah,

00:50:53.980 --> 00:50:54.560
 who as he

00:50:54.560 --> 00:50:55.180
 was called

00:50:55.180 --> 00:50:55.760
 to go back

00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:56.360
 to Nineveh,

00:50:56.480 --> 00:50:57.320
 say they

00:50:57.320 --> 00:50:58.320
 don't deserve

00:50:58.320 --> 00:50:59.019
 to hear

00:50:59.019 --> 00:50:59.880
 this gospel.

00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:00.840
 Look at

00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:01.340
 what they've

00:51:01.340 --> 00:51:01.680
 done.

00:51:02.640 --> 00:51:02.960
 Look at

00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:03.380
 how they

00:51:03.380 --> 00:51:04.019
 behaved

00:51:04.019 --> 00:51:04.880
 towards

00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:05.320
 God's

00:51:05.320 --> 00:51:05.440
 people.

00:51:05.500 --> 00:51:05.820
 I'm not

00:51:05.820 --> 00:51:06.240
 going to

00:51:06.240 --> 00:51:06.880
 tell them.

00:51:07.220 --> 00:51:07.519
 In fact,

00:51:07.539 --> 00:51:07.760
 I'm going

00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:08.139
 to run

00:51:08.139 --> 00:51:08.400
 in the

00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:08.760
 opposite

00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:09.460
 direction.

00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:11.440
 But God

00:51:11.440 --> 00:51:12.059
 brought him

00:51:12.059 --> 00:51:12.940
 to realize

00:51:12.940 --> 00:51:14.039
 they needed

00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:14.679
 mercy as

00:51:14.679 --> 00:51:15.179
 much as

00:51:15.179 --> 00:51:15.679
 him or

00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:16.500
 anyone else.

00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:17.639
 But his

00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:18.639
 heart needed

00:51:18.639 --> 00:51:19.059
 to be

00:51:19.059 --> 00:51:19.619
 changed.

00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:21.159
 And so

00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:21.880
 often it is

00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:22.519
 the case,

00:51:22.980 --> 00:51:23.840
 as Peter is

00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:24.340
 writing to

00:51:24.340 --> 00:51:24.820
 them here,

00:51:24.920 --> 00:51:25.139
 as he's

00:51:25.139 --> 00:51:25.639
 writing to

00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:26.119
 ourselves

00:51:26.119 --> 00:51:26.500
 today,

00:51:26.579 --> 00:51:26.820
 that we

00:51:26.820 --> 00:51:27.179
 have to

00:51:27.179 --> 00:51:28.019
 think of

00:51:28.019 --> 00:51:28.420
 our own

00:51:28.420 --> 00:51:28.840
 hearts,

00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:29.280
 our own

00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:29.740
 manner,

00:51:29.739 --> 00:51:30.599
 in our

00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:31.119
 witness

00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:31.559
 to.

00:51:32.059 --> 00:51:32.579
 How we

00:51:32.579 --> 00:51:33.099
 look at

00:51:33.099 --> 00:51:33.559
 people,

00:51:33.739 --> 00:51:34.239
 how we

00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:35.019
 behave with

00:51:35.019 --> 00:51:35.299
 people,

00:51:35.379 --> 00:51:35.679
 how we

00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:36.819
 deal with

00:51:36.819 --> 00:51:37.439
 people.

00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:38.839
 So Peter

00:51:38.839 --> 00:51:39.719
 here addresses

00:51:39.719 --> 00:51:40.979
 the manner

00:51:40.979 --> 00:51:42.079
 of their

00:51:42.079 --> 00:51:42.479
 witness,

00:51:42.659 --> 00:51:43.659
 how they

00:51:43.659 --> 00:51:44.299
 conduct

00:51:44.299 --> 00:51:45.059
 themselves.

00:51:46.419 --> 00:51:47.439
 We see

00:51:47.439 --> 00:51:48.019
 as we read

00:51:48.019 --> 00:51:48.719
 through chapter

00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:49.439
 two here

00:51:49.439 --> 00:51:50.279
 that the

00:51:50.279 --> 00:51:51.579
 gospel,

00:51:51.879 --> 00:51:52.239
 Christ,

00:51:52.339 --> 00:51:52.819
 is already

00:51:52.819 --> 00:51:54.319
 offensive to

00:51:54.319 --> 00:51:54.879
 people.

00:51:55.779 --> 00:51:56.479
 You see it

00:51:56.479 --> 00:51:57.219
 in verse

00:51:57.219 --> 00:51:57.819
 eight where he's

00:51:57.820 --> 00:51:58.400
 described as

00:51:58.400 --> 00:51:59.220
 a stone of

00:51:59.220 --> 00:51:59.820
 stumbling,

00:52:00.340 --> 00:52:01.240
 a rock of

00:52:01.240 --> 00:52:02.180
 offense.

00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:03.200
 The gospel

00:52:03.200 --> 00:52:04.539
 message in

00:52:04.539 --> 00:52:04.860
 and of

00:52:04.860 --> 00:52:05.660
 itself,

00:52:06.720 --> 00:52:07.500
 the truth,

00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:09.300
 it's offensive

00:52:09.300 --> 00:52:10.640
 in and of

00:52:10.640 --> 00:52:11.240
 itself.

00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:12.559
 It'll often

00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:13.220
 offend

00:52:13.220 --> 00:52:14.340
 people.

00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:16.539
 The people

00:52:16.539 --> 00:52:17.100
 Peter was

00:52:17.100 --> 00:52:17.760
 writing to

00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:18.700
 knew that,

00:52:18.820 --> 00:52:19.400
 we know

00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:19.940
 that,

00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:21.000
 ourselves,

00:52:21.260 --> 00:52:21.860
 that the

00:52:21.860 --> 00:52:23.340
 gospel offends

00:52:23.340 --> 00:52:23.940
 people.

00:52:25.460 --> 00:52:26.400
 But as

00:52:26.400 --> 00:52:27.360
 God's

00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:27.980
 people,

00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:29.460
 as a

00:52:29.460 --> 00:52:30.480
 chosen race,

00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:31.420
 a royal

00:52:31.420 --> 00:52:32.180
 priesthood,

00:52:32.619 --> 00:52:33.260
 a holy

00:52:33.260 --> 00:52:33.619
 nation,

00:52:33.720 --> 00:52:34.240
 a people

00:52:34.240 --> 00:52:34.619
 of his

00:52:34.619 --> 00:52:34.880
 own

00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:35.460
 possession,

00:52:36.500 --> 00:52:37.960
 we should

00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:38.740
 not cause

00:52:38.740 --> 00:52:39.500
 the offense.

00:52:41.019 --> 00:52:41.780
 The gospel

00:52:41.780 --> 00:52:42.440
 offends,

00:52:43.579 --> 00:52:44.360
 but we

00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:45.079
 should not

00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:45.960
 be the ones

00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:47.119
 who cause

00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:47.760
 offense.

00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:49.860
 Keep your

00:52:49.860 --> 00:52:50.860
 conduct among

00:52:50.860 --> 00:52:51.780
 the Gentiles

00:52:51.780 --> 00:52:52.800
 honorable.

00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:56.380
 the word

00:52:56.380 --> 00:52:56.820
 honorable

00:52:56.820 --> 00:52:58.160
 there is

00:52:58.160 --> 00:52:58.620
 good.

00:52:59.620 --> 00:53:00.260
 We say

00:53:00.260 --> 00:53:00.980
 to children,

00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:01.760
 now we're

00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:02.440
 going somewhere

00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:03.100
 important.

00:53:03.560 --> 00:53:04.100
 I want you

00:53:04.100 --> 00:53:04.500
 to be on

00:53:04.500 --> 00:53:05.340
 good behavior,

00:53:05.420 --> 00:53:05.640
 I want to

00:53:05.640 --> 00:53:05.960
 be on your

00:53:05.960 --> 00:53:07.019
 best behavior.

00:53:07.900 --> 00:53:08.200
 Well,

00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:09.500
 we're saying

00:53:09.500 --> 00:53:10.000
 the same

00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:10.800
 thing here.

00:53:11.600 --> 00:53:12.060
 You're going

00:53:12.060 --> 00:53:12.580
 to be in a

00:53:12.580 --> 00:53:13.740
 hostile place,

00:53:14.100 --> 00:53:14.620
 you're going

00:53:14.620 --> 00:53:15.160
 to face

00:53:15.160 --> 00:53:16.019
 persecution,

00:53:16.539 --> 00:53:17.660
 but I want

00:53:17.660 --> 00:53:18.539
 your behavior

00:53:18.539 --> 00:53:19.700
 to represent

00:53:19.700 --> 00:53:20.300
 me.

00:53:20.300 --> 00:53:22.240
 and the

00:53:22.240 --> 00:53:22.740
 goodness

00:53:22.740 --> 00:53:23.900
 of God,

00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:24.600
 the love

00:53:24.600 --> 00:53:26.060
 of Christ.

00:53:27.160 --> 00:53:28.039
 What is he

00:53:28.039 --> 00:53:28.780
 getting at

00:53:28.780 --> 00:53:29.300
 here?

00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:31.140
 There is a

00:53:31.140 --> 00:53:31.660
 vocal

00:53:31.660 --> 00:53:32.780
 and a

00:53:32.780 --> 00:53:33.160
 visible

00:53:33.160 --> 00:53:34.340
 side to

00:53:34.340 --> 00:53:34.960
 words

00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:36.360
 and actions.

00:53:37.660 --> 00:53:37.860
 Our

00:53:37.860 --> 00:53:38.500
 witness,

00:53:39.220 --> 00:53:40.019
 the impact

00:53:40.019 --> 00:53:40.560
 it has,

00:53:40.600 --> 00:53:41.280
 is so often

00:53:41.280 --> 00:53:41.920
 determined

00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:42.840
 by the

00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:43.360
 conduct,

00:53:43.539 --> 00:53:43.960
 the manner

00:53:43.960 --> 00:53:44.820
 we use

00:53:44.820 --> 00:53:45.840
 in showing

00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:46.580
 the gospel.

00:53:47.300 --> 00:53:47.680
 When you

00:53:47.680 --> 00:53:48.100
 look back

00:53:48.100 --> 00:53:48.320
 at the

00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:48.900
 coronation

00:53:48.900 --> 00:53:49.539
 yesterday,

00:53:49.539 --> 00:53:50.639
 words were

00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:51.179
 spoken,

00:53:51.900 --> 00:53:52.440
 scriptures

00:53:52.440 --> 00:53:53.199
 were read,

00:53:53.420 --> 00:53:54.039
 oaths were

00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:54.460
 taken,

00:53:54.579 --> 00:53:55.099
 all of

00:53:55.099 --> 00:53:55.920
 these things,

00:53:57.199 --> 00:53:57.739
 but will

00:53:57.739 --> 00:53:58.300
 it be seen

00:53:58.300 --> 00:53:58.579
 in the

00:53:58.579 --> 00:53:59.199
 life and

00:53:59.199 --> 00:53:59.639
 rule of

00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:00.079
 the king?

00:54:01.699 --> 00:54:02.079
 And we

00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:02.659
 ourselves,

00:54:02.659 --> 00:54:03.179
 we can

00:54:03.179 --> 00:54:04.300
 take our

00:54:04.300 --> 00:54:05.039
 own oaths

00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:05.980
 before God

00:54:05.980 --> 00:54:06.500
 too.

00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:08.380
 We can

00:54:08.380 --> 00:54:09.079
 take vows

00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:10.239
 before God,

00:54:10.340 --> 00:54:10.639
 and we'll

00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:11.159
 see more

00:54:11.159 --> 00:54:11.519
 of these

00:54:11.519 --> 00:54:11.960
 things as

00:54:11.960 --> 00:54:12.279
 we go

00:54:12.279 --> 00:54:13.320
 on in

00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:13.940
 this letter,

00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:15.759
 but what

00:54:15.759 --> 00:54:16.199
 is seen

00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:16.539
 as the

00:54:16.539 --> 00:54:17.360
 evidence of

00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:17.539
 them,

00:54:17.659 --> 00:54:18.460
 the way

00:54:18.460 --> 00:54:19.199
 we conduct

00:54:19.199 --> 00:54:19.880
 ourselves,

00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:21.099
 the way

00:54:21.099 --> 00:54:21.780
 we live

00:54:21.780 --> 00:54:23.119
 our lives.

00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:24.699
 The scattered

00:54:24.699 --> 00:54:25.960
 church here,

00:54:26.720 --> 00:54:27.059
 they were

00:54:27.059 --> 00:54:27.579
 to live

00:54:27.579 --> 00:54:28.400
 in light

00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:28.720
 of the

00:54:28.720 --> 00:54:29.179
 promises

00:54:29.179 --> 00:54:29.900
 of scripture

00:54:29.900 --> 00:54:30.559
 and follow

00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:31.760
 the commands

00:54:31.760 --> 00:54:32.179
 that the

00:54:32.179 --> 00:54:32.539
 scriptures

00:54:32.539 --> 00:54:33.220
 were giving.

00:54:34.420 --> 00:54:35.220
 That's what

00:54:35.220 --> 00:54:35.780
 Peter was

00:54:35.780 --> 00:54:36.400
 telling them

00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:37.280
 and what

00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:38.159
 we ourselves

00:54:38.159 --> 00:54:38.720
 have to

00:54:38.720 --> 00:54:39.280
 live by

00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:39.699
 too.

00:54:40.619 --> 00:54:41.059
 How do

00:54:41.059 --> 00:54:41.780
 we conduct

00:54:41.780 --> 00:54:42.639
 ourselves

00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:43.440
 among

00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:44.059
 those

00:54:44.059 --> 00:54:45.440
 around us?

00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:45.559
 us?

00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:47.000
 We will

00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:47.480
 always

00:54:47.480 --> 00:54:48.179
 fail and

00:54:48.179 --> 00:54:48.420
 have

00:54:48.420 --> 00:54:49.179
 regrets,

00:54:49.460 --> 00:54:50.159
 and when

00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:50.480
 we do,

00:54:50.579 --> 00:54:50.800
 we have

00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:51.480
 a saviour

00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:51.940
 to go

00:54:51.940 --> 00:54:52.700
 to who

00:54:52.700 --> 00:54:53.139
 is able

00:54:53.139 --> 00:54:53.720
 to forgive

00:54:53.720 --> 00:54:54.380
 us.

00:54:56.000 --> 00:54:56.480
 But the

00:54:56.480 --> 00:54:57.280
 problem is

00:54:57.280 --> 00:54:57.559
 when we

00:54:57.559 --> 00:54:58.440
 don't see

00:54:58.440 --> 00:54:59.579
 the manner

00:54:59.579 --> 00:54:59.960
 of our

00:54:59.960 --> 00:55:00.519
 conduct

00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:01.740
 as a

00:55:01.740 --> 00:55:02.159
 problem

00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:03.039
 or causing

00:55:03.039 --> 00:55:04.260
 offence.

00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:05.960
 When people

00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:06.579
 could say

00:55:06.579 --> 00:55:07.460
 of Christians,

00:55:08.460 --> 00:55:09.579
 your conduct

00:55:09.579 --> 00:55:10.720
 is worse

00:55:10.720 --> 00:55:11.780
 than those

00:55:11.780 --> 00:55:12.280
 who aren't

00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:12.820
 Christians,

00:55:12.820 --> 00:55:14.600
 that's

00:55:14.600 --> 00:55:14.980
 when we

00:55:14.980 --> 00:55:15.660
 are failing.

00:55:16.920 --> 00:55:17.300
 We are

00:55:17.300 --> 00:55:18.019
 not being

00:55:18.019 --> 00:55:19.420
 holy in

00:55:19.420 --> 00:55:20.240
 our conduct,

00:55:20.440 --> 00:55:21.260
 set apart,

00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:22.960
 different in

00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:23.580
 the ways

00:55:23.580 --> 00:55:24.500
 that we

00:55:24.500 --> 00:55:25.220
 behave.

00:55:26.740 --> 00:55:27.180
 And so

00:55:27.180 --> 00:55:27.660
 that is

00:55:27.660 --> 00:55:28.140
 why he

00:55:28.140 --> 00:55:28.700
 is saying

00:55:28.700 --> 00:55:29.980
 keep your

00:55:29.980 --> 00:55:30.640
 conduct

00:55:30.640 --> 00:55:31.200
 among the

00:55:31.200 --> 00:55:31.920
 Gentiles

00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:33.059
 honourable.

00:55:34.019 --> 00:55:34.660
 What's

00:55:34.660 --> 00:55:35.820
 at stake?

00:55:37.820 --> 00:55:38.100
 Well,

00:55:38.160 --> 00:55:38.460
 what he

00:55:38.460 --> 00:55:39.180
 says is

00:55:39.180 --> 00:55:39.519
 so that

00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:40.000
 when they

00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:40.880
 speak against

00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:41.260
 you as

00:55:41.260 --> 00:55:42.160
 evildoers,

00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:43.159
 they may

00:55:43.159 --> 00:55:43.899
 see your

00:55:43.899 --> 00:55:44.500
 good deeds

00:55:44.500 --> 00:55:45.599
 and glorify

00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:46.920
 God on

00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:47.460
 the day

00:55:47.460 --> 00:55:48.119
 of

00:55:48.119 --> 00:55:49.059
 visitation.

00:55:50.980 --> 00:55:51.859
 Our

00:55:51.859 --> 00:55:52.779
 conduct

00:55:52.779 --> 00:55:53.739
 can so

00:55:53.739 --> 00:55:54.239
 easily

00:55:54.239 --> 00:55:54.899
 come

00:55:54.899 --> 00:55:56.179
 between

00:55:56.179 --> 00:55:57.679
 those we

00:55:57.679 --> 00:55:58.339
 are behaving

00:55:58.339 --> 00:55:59.739
 before and

00:55:59.739 --> 00:56:00.519
 then coming

00:56:00.519 --> 00:56:01.659
 to Christ.

00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:04.559
 We are

00:56:04.559 --> 00:56:05.279
 to show

00:56:05.279 --> 00:56:06.500
 the love

00:56:06.500 --> 00:56:07.500
 of Christ

00:56:07.500 --> 00:56:08.339
 because what's

00:56:08.339 --> 00:56:09.099
 at stake?

00:56:09.899 --> 00:56:10.059
 Well,

00:56:10.079 --> 00:56:10.500
 he's saying

00:56:10.500 --> 00:56:10.899
 here,

00:56:11.299 --> 00:56:11.699
 keep your

00:56:11.699 --> 00:56:12.199
 conduct

00:56:12.199 --> 00:56:12.799
 honourable,

00:56:12.980 --> 00:56:13.439
 that they

00:56:13.439 --> 00:56:14.339
 may glorify

00:56:14.339 --> 00:56:15.039
 God.

00:56:15.839 --> 00:56:16.460
 What's on

00:56:16.460 --> 00:56:16.899
 the flip

00:56:16.899 --> 00:56:17.519
 side of

00:56:17.519 --> 00:56:17.859
 that?

00:56:18.659 --> 00:56:19.139
 They

00:56:19.139 --> 00:56:19.719
 won't.

00:56:20.980 --> 00:56:21.619
 They

00:56:21.619 --> 00:56:22.199
 won't

00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:23.119
 glorify

00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:23.559
 God

00:56:23.559 --> 00:56:23.919
 because

00:56:23.919 --> 00:56:25.159
 of our

00:56:25.159 --> 00:56:25.719
 behaviour.

00:56:26.339 --> 00:56:26.759
 Or,

00:56:27.259 --> 00:56:27.679
 thanks be

00:56:27.679 --> 00:56:28.239
 to God,

00:56:28.379 --> 00:56:28.980
 sometimes

00:56:28.980 --> 00:56:30.000
 they will

00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:30.519
 glorify

00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:30.899
 God

00:56:30.899 --> 00:56:31.639
 despite

00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:32.759
 our

00:56:32.759 --> 00:56:33.359
 behaviour.

00:56:34.319 --> 00:56:34.559
 We

00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:35.000
 shouldn't

00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:35.359
 be on

00:56:35.359 --> 00:56:36.079
 any

00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:36.839
 stumbling

00:56:36.839 --> 00:56:37.239
 block

00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:37.599
 or an

00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:38.039
 excuse

00:56:38.039 --> 00:56:38.340
 for

00:56:38.340 --> 00:56:38.619
 anyone

00:56:38.619 --> 00:56:38.880
 to

00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:39.259
 say,

00:56:39.980 --> 00:56:40.079
 if

00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:40.559
 that's

00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:40.779
 how

00:56:40.779 --> 00:56:41.360
 Christians

00:56:41.360 --> 00:56:42.119
 behave,

00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:43.019
 I want

00:56:43.019 --> 00:56:43.599
 nothing

00:56:43.599 --> 00:56:44.420
 to do

00:56:44.420 --> 00:56:44.980
 with it.

00:56:46.579 --> 00:56:47.559
 How would

00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:48.440
 they receive

00:56:48.440 --> 00:56:49.199
 this letter?

00:56:50.099 --> 00:56:50.679
 How should

00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:52.079
 we receive

00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:52.759
 this letter?

00:56:52.860 --> 00:56:53.019
 Well,

00:56:53.139 --> 00:56:53.699
 surely it

00:56:53.699 --> 00:56:54.099
 should make

00:56:54.099 --> 00:56:54.659
 us think

00:56:54.659 --> 00:56:55.619
 of two

00:56:55.619 --> 00:56:56.239
 things.

00:56:57.300 --> 00:56:58.019
 One,

00:56:58.539 --> 00:56:59.340
 how has

00:56:59.340 --> 00:57:00.360
 my conduct

00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:00.900
 been?

00:57:02.099 --> 00:57:02.739
 That's

00:57:02.739 --> 00:57:03.320
 what they

00:57:03.320 --> 00:57:03.639
 would have

00:57:03.639 --> 00:57:03.900
 thought,

00:57:03.980 --> 00:57:04.500
 that's what

00:57:04.500 --> 00:57:04.980
 we should

00:57:04.980 --> 00:57:05.340
 think.

00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:06.119
 Are there

00:57:06.119 --> 00:57:06.739
 areas where

00:57:06.739 --> 00:57:07.139
 I should

00:57:07.139 --> 00:57:07.480
 go and

00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:08.039
 apologise

00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:08.900
 to people

00:57:08.900 --> 00:57:09.900
 that my

00:57:09.900 --> 00:57:10.480
 conduct

00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:11.340
 was not

00:57:11.340 --> 00:57:11.840
 right

00:57:11.840 --> 00:57:13.219
 as a

00:57:13.219 --> 00:57:13.659
 Christian?

00:57:15.619 --> 00:57:16.320
 And the

00:57:16.320 --> 00:57:16.960
 second thing

00:57:16.960 --> 00:57:17.280
 is,

00:57:17.659 --> 00:57:18.860
 how do

00:57:18.860 --> 00:57:19.340
 we deal

00:57:19.340 --> 00:57:20.800
 with this

00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:21.800
 going forward?

00:57:22.340 --> 00:57:22.820
 Is it

00:57:22.820 --> 00:57:23.179
 going to

00:57:23.179 --> 00:57:23.940
 change me?

00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:25.059
 Am I

00:57:25.059 --> 00:57:25.420
 going to

00:57:25.420 --> 00:57:26.059
 take these

00:57:26.059 --> 00:57:26.500
 words

00:57:26.500 --> 00:57:27.280
 seriously?

00:57:27.940 --> 00:57:28.659
 Let your

00:57:28.659 --> 00:57:29.460
 conduct

00:57:29.460 --> 00:57:30.960
 be honourable

00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:33.159
 before the

00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:33.880
 Gentiles.

00:57:34.500 --> 00:57:35.199
 are we

00:57:35.199 --> 00:57:35.420
 going to

00:57:35.420 --> 00:57:36.119
 go forward

00:57:36.119 --> 00:57:37.019
 addressing

00:57:37.019 --> 00:57:37.880
 our

00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:38.559
 conduct?

00:57:39.099 --> 00:57:39.639
 Making

00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:40.320
 sure our

00:57:40.320 --> 00:57:40.800
 conduct

00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:41.920
 is in

00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:42.579
 line with

00:57:42.579 --> 00:57:43.079
 the word

00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:43.739
 of God.

00:57:44.659 --> 00:57:45.159
 How do

00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:45.639
 we deal

00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:46.659
 with fellow

00:57:46.659 --> 00:57:47.239
 Christians?

00:57:48.460 --> 00:57:48.940
 Is our

00:57:48.940 --> 00:57:49.579
 conduct

00:57:49.579 --> 00:57:50.659
 honourable?

00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:52.099
 How do

00:57:52.099 --> 00:57:52.599
 we deal

00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:53.760
 with others

00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:54.780
 around us?

00:57:55.400 --> 00:57:56.000
 Just as they

00:57:56.000 --> 00:57:56.659
 had to in

00:57:56.659 --> 00:57:57.420
 Peter's day,

00:57:57.860 --> 00:57:58.599
 their conduct

00:57:58.599 --> 00:57:59.179
 was to be

00:57:59.179 --> 00:57:59.820
 honourable

00:57:59.820 --> 00:58:01.360
 before those

00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:02.119
 who were

00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:03.159
 persecuting

00:58:03.159 --> 00:58:03.420
 them.

00:58:04.500 --> 00:58:05.280
 Romans

00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:07.019
 12 says,

00:58:07.719 --> 00:58:08.360
 to love

00:58:08.360 --> 00:58:09.340
 your enemy,

00:58:10.059 --> 00:58:10.440
 that you

00:58:10.440 --> 00:58:11.019
 may heap

00:58:11.019 --> 00:58:12.179
 burning coal

00:58:12.179 --> 00:58:13.139
 on their

00:58:13.139 --> 00:58:13.360
 head.

00:58:13.420 --> 00:58:13.739
 It's very

00:58:13.739 --> 00:58:14.360
 similar to

00:58:14.360 --> 00:58:14.619
 what we

00:58:14.619 --> 00:58:15.360
 have here.

00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:16.139
 So that

00:58:16.139 --> 00:58:16.519
 when they

00:58:16.519 --> 00:58:17.460
 speak against

00:58:17.460 --> 00:58:17.900
 you as

00:58:17.900 --> 00:58:18.820
 evildoers,

00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:19.800
 they may

00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:20.539
 see your

00:58:20.539 --> 00:58:21.239
 good deeds

00:58:21.239 --> 00:58:22.920
 and glorify

00:58:22.920 --> 00:58:23.460
 God.

00:58:24.340 --> 00:58:24.880
 Is that

00:58:24.880 --> 00:58:25.380
 what our

00:58:25.380 --> 00:58:26.039
 conduct

00:58:26.039 --> 00:58:27.000
 leads to?

00:58:27.940 --> 00:58:28.360
 People

00:58:28.360 --> 00:58:29.659
 seeing our

00:58:29.659 --> 00:58:30.460
 good deeds

00:58:30.460 --> 00:58:32.159
 and glorifying

00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:32.659
 God.

00:58:33.940 --> 00:58:34.579
 Do we

00:58:34.579 --> 00:58:35.240
 lambast

00:58:35.240 --> 00:58:37.119
 or do we

00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:37.460
 love?

00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:40.300
 There's a

00:58:40.300 --> 00:58:41.019
 testimony of

00:58:41.019 --> 00:58:41.880
 one who

00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:42.519
 is now a

00:58:42.519 --> 00:58:42.920
 preacher,

00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:44.559
 but he

00:58:44.559 --> 00:58:45.039
 was in a

00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:45.599
 world that

00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:46.240
 was lost.

00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:46.559
 In his

00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:47.159
 life he

00:58:47.159 --> 00:58:47.679
 was lost.

00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:48.139
 But he

00:58:48.139 --> 00:58:49.019
 says this,

00:58:49.019 --> 00:58:50.420
 when I

00:58:50.420 --> 00:58:51.139
 was lost,

00:58:51.539 --> 00:58:52.460
 I certainly

00:58:52.460 --> 00:58:53.539
 criticized my

00:58:53.539 --> 00:58:54.500
 fair share of

00:58:54.500 --> 00:58:55.000
 Christians.

00:58:55.500 --> 00:58:56.380
 I argued

00:58:56.380 --> 00:58:56.920
 with them.

00:58:57.300 --> 00:58:58.380
 I despised

00:58:58.380 --> 00:58:59.059
 them for being

00:58:59.059 --> 00:58:59.719
 against the

00:58:59.719 --> 00:59:00.300
 things I

00:59:00.300 --> 00:59:00.599
 did.

00:59:01.759 --> 00:59:02.280
 However,

00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:03.800
 I never

00:59:03.800 --> 00:59:04.519
 could get

00:59:04.519 --> 00:59:05.280
 past their

00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:06.480
 love and

00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:07.259
 their devotion

00:59:07.259 --> 00:59:07.800
 to the

00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:08.139
 Bible.

00:59:08.139 --> 00:59:09.920
 the truth

00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:11.259
 and honesty

00:59:11.259 --> 00:59:11.779
 of their

00:59:11.779 --> 00:59:13.179
 lives made

00:59:13.179 --> 00:59:13.920
 a statement

00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:14.900
 for God

00:59:14.900 --> 00:59:15.839
 that none

00:59:15.839 --> 00:59:16.299
 of my

00:59:16.299 --> 00:59:16.900
 arguments

00:59:16.900 --> 00:59:17.659
 could ever

00:59:17.659 --> 00:59:18.359
 overcome.

00:59:19.759 --> 00:59:20.539
 It was the

00:59:20.539 --> 00:59:21.519
 faithful witness

00:59:21.519 --> 00:59:22.319
 of a few

00:59:22.319 --> 00:59:23.420
 sincere,

00:59:23.900 --> 00:59:24.400
 dedicated

00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:25.039
 believers

00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:26.420
 that helped

00:59:26.420 --> 00:59:27.039
 bring me

00:59:27.039 --> 00:59:28.259
 to Jesus.

00:59:29.879 --> 00:59:30.659
 Would

00:59:30.659 --> 00:59:31.019
 that that

00:59:31.019 --> 00:59:31.599
 be said

00:59:31.599 --> 00:59:32.719
 of us?

00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:35.019
 We see

00:59:35.019 --> 00:59:36.299
 here a

00:59:36.299 --> 00:59:36.819
 Christian

00:59:36.819 --> 00:59:37.539
 witness from

00:59:37.539 --> 00:59:38.119
 a people

00:59:38.119 --> 00:59:38.980
 who were

00:59:38.980 --> 00:59:39.679
 persecuted,

00:59:39.819 --> 00:59:40.119
 a people

00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:40.400
 who were

00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:40.940
 scattered,

00:59:41.500 --> 00:59:41.940
 but who

00:59:41.940 --> 00:59:42.619
 knew God

00:59:42.619 --> 00:59:43.159
 with them.

00:59:44.460 --> 00:59:45.139
 We long

00:59:45.139 --> 00:59:45.819
 to see

00:59:45.819 --> 00:59:47.159
 people coming

00:59:47.159 --> 00:59:47.960
 to Christ.

00:59:48.880 --> 00:59:49.400
 It is the

00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:49.980
 mission of

00:59:49.980 --> 00:59:50.579
 our witness

00:59:50.579 --> 00:59:51.940
 to proclaim

00:59:51.940 --> 00:59:53.199
 the excellencies

00:59:53.199 --> 00:59:53.940
 of him who

00:59:53.940 --> 00:59:54.519
 called us

00:59:54.519 --> 00:59:55.179
 from darkness

00:59:55.179 --> 00:59:56.299
 to light.

00:59:57.159 --> 00:59:57.759
 Our

00:59:57.759 --> 00:59:58.500
 motivation

00:59:58.500 --> 00:59:59.699
 is there.

01:00:00.699 --> 01:00:01.279
 We have

01:00:01.279 --> 01:00:01.759
 mercy.

01:00:02.440 --> 01:00:02.900
 We long

01:00:02.900 --> 01:00:03.619
 for others

01:00:03.619 --> 01:00:04.559
 to know

01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:05.259
 this mercy.

01:00:06.199 --> 01:00:06.659
 And let's

01:00:06.659 --> 01:00:07.339
 make sure

01:00:07.340 --> 01:00:08.480
 the manner

01:00:08.480 --> 01:00:09.180
 of our

01:00:09.180 --> 01:00:09.720
 witness

01:00:09.720 --> 01:00:11.300
 is blessed

01:00:11.300 --> 01:00:12.160
 by God

01:00:12.160 --> 01:00:13.420
 to see

01:00:13.420 --> 01:00:13.940
 others

01:00:13.940 --> 01:00:15.320
 proclaim

01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:16.820
 the goodness

01:00:16.820 --> 01:00:18.100
 of God

01:00:18.100 --> 01:00:19.079
 and give

01:00:19.079 --> 01:00:19.900
 him praise.

01:00:20.460 --> 01:00:20.860
 Let us

01:00:20.860 --> 01:00:21.100
 pray.

01:00:23.579 --> 01:00:24.160
 Our

01:00:24.160 --> 01:00:24.840
 Father in

01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:25.160
 heaven,

01:00:25.300 --> 01:00:25.880
 help us

01:00:25.880 --> 01:00:27.000
 if we need

01:00:27.000 --> 01:00:27.680
 to repent,

01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:28.460
 to repent

01:00:28.460 --> 01:00:29.120
 to you as

01:00:29.120 --> 01:00:29.780
 the one who

01:00:29.780 --> 01:00:30.280
 is able

01:00:30.280 --> 01:00:30.980
 to forgive.

01:00:31.620 --> 01:00:32.220
 And teach

01:00:32.220 --> 01:00:32.460
 us,

01:00:32.640 --> 01:00:32.980
 O Lord,

01:00:32.980 --> 01:00:33.760
 to walk

01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:34.059
 in your

01:00:34.059 --> 01:00:34.480
 ways,

01:00:35.099 --> 01:00:35.639
 to heed
