00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480
 You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:10.620
 Our passion is to experience and express grace. Join us.

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:21.820
 Amen. Thank you guys. That is our prayer. That is what we long for as we come this morning to God's Word.

00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:29.699
 In Luke chapter 8, you can find it on page 864 of the Bible in the pew in front of you.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.060
 If you want to grab one of those, Luke chapter 8.

00:00:34.579 --> 00:00:38.980
 As this chapter opens, as we have been walking through Luke's Gospel,

00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:45.519
 we find Jesus and His close group of followers going around town to town,

00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:49.280
 telling and showing the good news of the kingdom.

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:54.400
 And I want us to notice something interesting in these first three verses here

00:00:54.399 --> 00:01:00.320
 before we pray and read the rest of the passage that we're going to talk about this morning.

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:07.980
 In addition to the twelve disciples, some women are in this group with Jesus.

00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:14.359
 We only get three names, Mary Magdalene, Susanna, and Joanna.

00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.939
 But several women, many women, it says.

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.079
 Now, that may not seem unusual to you,

00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:27.180
 but in Jesus' day, in a Middle Eastern culture,

00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.280
 in particular in a culture of Jewish rabbis,

00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:34.799
 and who typically follows them and would go around with them,

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.079
 this is highly unusual.

00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.400
 In fact, not just unusual for many, it would have been scandalous.

00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:46.760
 Jesus certainly would have taken a few dings to His reputation

00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.620
 because of this reality.

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:52.240
 But other than being unusual,

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.719
 why would Luke mention these women who are with Jesus and His followers?

00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:00.620
 Why intentionally bring this point out?

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:04.540
 Well, partially because it fits with Luke's theme

00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:07.760
 of the message of the kingdom that he's talking about here

00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:12.420
 being good news of great joy for all people.

00:02:13.300 --> 00:02:16.740
 Not just men, but women as well.

00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.060
 The community King Jesus is shaping features all sorts of men and women.

00:02:24.340 --> 00:02:26.819
 There's probably a whole sermon in there

00:02:26.819 --> 00:02:30.640
 about the significant place of women in the community of God's people,

00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:32.840
 and we could just stop at these three verses,

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:34.800
 and you're saying, great, just do that this morning.

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.160
 Why not do that this morning?

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.800
 Well, because there are 50-some of our women on a retreat,

00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:42.800
 and my wife is one of them,

00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.540
 and I'm not going to waste an opportunity for brownie points with my wife.

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:48.340
 Come on, give me a break.

00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:51.180
 We can't have that sermon this morning.

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.260
 We will talk about it again more as we go through Luke.

00:02:57.020 --> 00:02:59.360
 But instead, let me just say this this morning

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.260
 before we read the rest of the passage.

00:03:01.259 --> 00:03:05.359
 Women are vital in the kingdom of Jesus

00:03:05.359 --> 00:03:07.079
 and in the work of his church.

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:10.399
 Notice that these women who are with him

00:03:10.399 --> 00:03:13.259
 are even providing for Jesus and his followers

00:03:13.259 --> 00:03:15.179
 out of their own means,

00:03:15.299 --> 00:03:17.939
 from their own pockets as they're traveling around.

00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.399
 Any Christian community is weakened

00:03:21.399 --> 00:03:26.139
 when it neglects to engage well with its godly women.

00:03:26.139 --> 00:03:30.899
 God has created male and female in his image.

00:03:31.859 --> 00:03:36.359
 Yes, with unique roles and uniquely in his image.

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.639
 God's word describes for us many things

00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.919
 about how that plays out in our relationships,

00:03:43.139 --> 00:03:44.939
 but we need our women.

00:03:45.619 --> 00:03:47.560
 We should honor our women.

00:03:47.819 --> 00:03:49.739
 We must thank God for the women

00:03:49.739 --> 00:03:52.479
 he has blessed this particular church with

00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.859
 and how they love and serve in this body.

00:03:57.119 --> 00:03:59.799
 In the previous story at the end of Luke 7

00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:02.299
 that Peter preached about last week,

00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:07.799
 there's a woman whom other men had objectified and used.

00:04:09.179 --> 00:04:10.780
 Jesus treats her very differently.

00:04:11.579 --> 00:04:16.659
 Jesus honors her, forgives her, dignifies her.

00:04:16.660 --> 00:04:20.480
 It's worth us asking the question,

00:04:20.640 --> 00:04:24.200
 has the good news of Jesus changed the way you view

00:04:24.200 --> 00:04:26.380
 or treat women?

00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:32.480
 It should, in a noticeable, counter-cultural way.

00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.360
 Perhaps more generally,

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.600
 has the good news of Jesus changed the way

00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.120
 that you view or treat others who are marginalized,

00:04:43.140 --> 00:04:45.620
 left out, the least of these?

00:04:46.660 --> 00:04:51.720
 It should, in a noticeable, counter-cultural way.

00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.320
 Jesus is good news of great joy for all people.

00:04:57.340 --> 00:05:00.620
 Do they experience that in relationship with us?

00:05:00.900 --> 00:05:02.879
 I heard this week that our children's ministry

00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.040
 is looking for more volunteers

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.680
 to spend time caring on Sunday mornings

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.100
 for some of our special needs kids

00:05:10.100 --> 00:05:12.580
 to love them and be with them.

00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:14.120
 And I thought to myself,

00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:15.879
 Jesus would sign up twice for that.

00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:22.680
 He loves those who others tend to ignore or overlook.

00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:24.240
 That's his heart.

00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:26.839
 What a great opportunity to share Jesus' heart, right?

00:05:28.379 --> 00:05:31.019
 Many others, not just our women,

00:05:31.139 --> 00:05:33.839
 many others are marginalized in our culture

00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.199
 as women were in Jesus' day

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.579
 and in some ways still are today.

00:05:38.579 --> 00:05:41.159
 So I want to pray for our women

00:05:41.159 --> 00:05:43.560
 as many of them are gone this weekend

00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.359
 and then we'll turn our attention

00:05:45.359 --> 00:05:46.639
 to the rest of this passage.

00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:47.439
 Will you pray with me?

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.360
 Father, for your creative design

00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.699
 in making us male and female,

00:05:56.899 --> 00:05:57.879
 we praise you.

00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:01.279
 we give you thanks for your wisdom

00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.399
 in designing us.

00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:06.699
 For the way you have called us

00:06:06.699 --> 00:06:09.120
 into relationship and community together

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:10.920
 and for the way you have designed

00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:12.379
 your church

00:06:12.379 --> 00:06:13.699
 to work

00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:15.439
 with men and women

00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:16.240
 laboring

00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:17.639
 for your kingdom.

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.439
 And Father,

00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:20.259
 we thank you

00:06:20.259 --> 00:06:22.279
 for the women of this church

00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:23.319
 and of this community.

00:06:23.819 --> 00:06:25.379
 For the ways that you have

00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:26.759
 uniquely shaped them.

00:06:26.919 --> 00:06:28.139
 For the amazing gifts

00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:29.419
 you have given to them.

00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:31.319
 For the tremendous blessing

00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:31.839
 they are,

00:06:31.899 --> 00:06:33.719
 an example they are to us

00:06:33.719 --> 00:06:34.959
 in this church.

00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:35.719
 We thank you.

00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:38.060
 We pray for them

00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:38.939
 and those especially

00:06:38.939 --> 00:06:39.879
 on the retreat

00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:41.779
 as they spend time together

00:06:41.779 --> 00:06:42.360
 this morning

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:43.259
 around your word

00:06:43.259 --> 00:06:44.459
 and praying together.

00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:46.560
 Might you bless them.

00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:48.800
 Might you meet with them there

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:49.879
 in a special way.

00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:51.120
 Might your spirit

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:51.959
 continue to work

00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:52.980
 as they come back

00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:54.139
 and minister

00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:55.439
 among their friends

00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:56.579
 and families

00:06:56.579 --> 00:06:57.599
 in this church.

00:06:59.199 --> 00:06:59.719
 Father,

00:06:59.860 --> 00:07:00.379
 use them

00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:01.480
 in great ways.

00:07:03.099 --> 00:07:03.860
 And Father,

00:07:03.939 --> 00:07:04.399
 we come

00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:05.639
 to your word

00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:06.240
 this morning

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:07.099
 that shows us

00:07:07.099 --> 00:07:07.680
 these things

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.259
 that might not always

00:07:09.259 --> 00:07:09.860
 be the way

00:07:09.860 --> 00:07:10.360
 we would

00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:11.939
 naturally think.

00:07:12.259 --> 00:07:13.060
 That challenges

00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:14.259
 cultural assumptions

00:07:14.259 --> 00:07:15.860
 like Jesus did then

00:07:15.860 --> 00:07:17.560
 that calls us

00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:18.439
 to you

00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.259
 in ways that our hearts

00:07:20.259 --> 00:07:21.259
 need this morning.

00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:22.660
 And so would you

00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:23.560
 prepare us

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:24.879
 to hear your word.

00:07:25.139 --> 00:07:26.160
 Would you speak

00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.600
 and might we listen

00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.000
 and hear

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.120
 and see

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:31.939
 and worship

00:07:31.939 --> 00:07:33.579
 our Savior.

00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:34.840
 And it's in his name

00:07:34.840 --> 00:07:35.279
 we pray.

00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:36.360
 Amen.

00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:39.819
 Luke chapter 8

00:07:39.819 --> 00:07:41.579
 we'll pick up

00:07:41.579 --> 00:07:42.360
 at verse 4.

00:07:43.060 --> 00:07:45.459
 And when a great crowd

00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:46.199
 was gathering

00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.740
 and people from town

00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:48.459
 after town

00:07:48.459 --> 00:07:49.199
 came to him

00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:50.600
 he said in a parable

00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.319
 a sower went out

00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:53.319
 to sow his seed

00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.180
 and as he sowed

00:07:55.180 --> 00:07:56.540
 some fell along the path

00:07:56.540 --> 00:07:57.980
 and was trampled underfoot

00:07:57.980 --> 00:07:59.160
 and the birds of the air

00:07:59.160 --> 00:07:59.860
 devoured it

00:07:59.860 --> 00:08:01.899
 and some fell on the rock

00:08:01.899 --> 00:08:03.399
 and as it grew up

00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:04.139
 it withered away

00:08:04.139 --> 00:08:05.439
 because it had no moisture

00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.980
 and some fell among thorns

00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:09.060
 and the thorns

00:08:09.060 --> 00:08:09.860
 grew up with it

00:08:09.860 --> 00:08:10.560
 and choked it

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.399
 and some fell

00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:13.139
 into good soil

00:08:13.139 --> 00:08:13.579
 and grew

00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:14.959
 and yielded a hundredfold

00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.120
 as he said these things

00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:17.660
 he called out

00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:18.800
 he who has ears to hear

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:19.500
 let him hear

00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:21.339
 and when his disciples

00:08:21.339 --> 00:08:21.800
 asked him

00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:22.759
 what this parable meant

00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:23.160
 he said

00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:24.560
 to you it has been given

00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:25.579
 to know the secrets

00:08:25.579 --> 00:08:26.920
 of the kingdom of God

00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:27.959
 but for others

00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:28.899
 they are in parables

00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:30.240
 so that seeing

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:31.199
 they may not see

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:32.039
 and hearing

00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:33.320
 they may not understand

00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.340
 now the parable

00:08:35.340 --> 00:08:36.000
 is this

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:37.059
 the seed

00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:38.320
 is the word of God

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:39.899
 the ones along the path

00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:40.980
 are those who have heard

00:08:40.980 --> 00:08:41.980
 then the devil

00:08:41.980 --> 00:08:43.320
 comes and takes away

00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:44.700
 the word from their hearts

00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:46.340
 so that they may not believe

00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:47.379
 and be saved

00:08:47.379 --> 00:08:49.299
 and the ones on the rock

00:08:49.299 --> 00:08:49.980
 are those who

00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:51.080
 when they hear the word

00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:52.220
 receive it with joy

00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:54.419
 but these have no root

00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:56.379
 they believe for a while

00:08:56.379 --> 00:08:57.519
 and in time of testing

00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:58.259
 fall away

00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:01.379
 and as for what fell among thorns

00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:02.340
 they are those who hear

00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:03.860
 but as they go on their way

00:09:03.860 --> 00:09:05.720
 they are choked by the cares

00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:06.220
 and riches

00:09:06.220 --> 00:09:07.539
 and pleasures of life

00:09:07.539 --> 00:09:08.680
 and their fruit

00:09:08.680 --> 00:09:09.600
 does not mature

00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.300
 as for that in the good soil

00:09:12.300 --> 00:09:13.360
 they are those

00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:14.360
 who hearing the word

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:15.500
 hold it fast

00:09:15.500 --> 00:09:16.159
 in an honest

00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:16.919
 and good heart

00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:17.800
 and bear fruit

00:09:17.800 --> 00:09:18.940
 with patience

00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:21.419
 no one after lighting a lamp

00:09:21.419 --> 00:09:22.560
 covers it with a jar

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:23.759
 or puts it under a bed

00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.340
 but puts it on a stand

00:09:25.340 --> 00:09:26.560
 so that those who enter

00:09:26.560 --> 00:09:27.659
 may see the light

00:09:27.659 --> 00:09:29.340
 for nothing is hidden

00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:30.759
 that will not be made manifest

00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:32.159
 nor is anything secret

00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:33.220
 that will not be known

00:09:33.220 --> 00:09:34.100
 and come to light

00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:36.019
 take care then

00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:36.860
 how you hear

00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:39.040
 for to the one who has

00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:39.980
 more will be given

00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:41.980
 and from the one who has not

00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:43.540
 even what he thinks he has

00:09:43.540 --> 00:09:44.860
 will be taken away

00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:47.200
 then his mother

00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:47.879
 and his brothers

00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:48.920
 came to him

00:09:48.920 --> 00:09:50.500
 but they could not reach him

00:09:50.500 --> 00:09:51.639
 because of the crowd

00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.720
 and Jesus was told

00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.019
 your mother and your brothers

00:09:55.019 --> 00:09:56.160
 are standing outside

00:09:56.160 --> 00:09:57.440
 desiring to see you

00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.700
 but he answered them

00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:01.940
 my mother and my brothers

00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:03.420
 are those who hear

00:10:03.420 --> 00:10:04.420
 the word of God

00:10:04.420 --> 00:10:05.900
 and do it

00:10:05.900 --> 00:10:08.760
 thus far God's

00:10:08.760 --> 00:10:09.340
 holy

00:10:09.340 --> 00:10:10.660
 inerrant

00:10:10.660 --> 00:10:11.480
 inspired

00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:12.560
 word

00:10:12.560 --> 00:10:13.960
 that we might know

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:14.440
 him

00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:15.500
 more

00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:20.000
 early in our marriage

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:20.520
 I was

00:10:20.520 --> 00:10:21.700
 sitting on the couch

00:10:21.700 --> 00:10:22.380
 one morning

00:10:22.380 --> 00:10:24.440
 eating a bowl of cereal

00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.160
 watching ESPN

00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:26.920
 Sports Center

00:10:26.920 --> 00:10:28.940
 having a great time

00:10:28.940 --> 00:10:30.160
 and I have a vivid

00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:31.660
 recollection of this

00:10:31.660 --> 00:10:33.100
 morning because my

00:10:33.100 --> 00:10:34.680
 sweet wife walked

00:10:34.680 --> 00:10:35.460
 into the room

00:10:35.460 --> 00:10:36.720
 to talk with me

00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:37.720
 about something

00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:39.660
 I say I have a vivid

00:10:39.660 --> 00:10:40.840
 recollection of it

00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:41.880
 I also still have

00:10:41.880 --> 00:10:43.180
 no idea what it was

00:10:43.180 --> 00:10:44.400
 that she came to talk

00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:45.320
 to me about

00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.520
 what happened

00:10:47.520 --> 00:10:48.560
 as I sat there

00:10:48.560 --> 00:10:48.960
 watching

00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:50.380
 and her talking

00:10:50.380 --> 00:10:52.340
 I heard every word

00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:53.180
 that she said

00:10:53.180 --> 00:10:55.680
 only in one sense

00:10:55.680 --> 00:10:56.160
 of the word

00:10:56.160 --> 00:10:56.640
 heard

00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.360
 I grunted

00:10:58.360 --> 00:10:59.519
 a few times

00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.199
 in response

00:11:00.199 --> 00:11:00.759
 nodded

00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:01.919
 several times

00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.799
 but she perceiving

00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:05.139
 what was going on

00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:05.919
 in the situation

00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:06.639
 at one point

00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:07.159
 stopped

00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:08.000
 mid-sentence

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:09.460
 and I had

00:11:09.460 --> 00:11:10.679
 absolutely no reaction

00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:11.559
 I was glued

00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:12.360
 to the highlights

00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:13.720
 didn't even notice

00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.899
 I'm hoping

00:11:16.899 --> 00:11:17.399
 now that

00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:18.379
 laptop computers

00:11:18.379 --> 00:11:19.319
 and smartphones

00:11:19.319 --> 00:11:21.019
 are fairly common

00:11:21.019 --> 00:11:21.860
 that I'm not

00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:22.779
 the only one

00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:23.439
 who's ever been

00:11:23.439 --> 00:11:24.340
 in this position

00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:25.840
 but if you haven't

00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:26.200
 been there

00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:27.100
 it is not

00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:28.100
 a good position

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:30.240
 to find yourself in

00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.139
 don't do that

00:11:32.139 --> 00:11:34.639
 when my wife

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:36.040
 is speaking to me

00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:36.960
 it is vital

00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.560
 that I hear her

00:11:38.560 --> 00:11:39.320
 properly

00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.000
 that I not just

00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.340
 have sound waves

00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:43.920
 pass through my ears

00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:45.540
 but that I truly

00:11:45.540 --> 00:11:46.100
 listen

00:11:46.100 --> 00:11:48.080
 that I understand

00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:49.420
 that I respond

00:11:49.420 --> 00:11:50.280
 appropriately

00:11:50.280 --> 00:11:51.660
 to what she's saying

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:54.199
 how much more

00:11:54.199 --> 00:11:54.939
 is this true

00:11:54.939 --> 00:11:55.939
 with the word

00:11:55.939 --> 00:11:56.539
 of God

00:11:56.539 --> 00:11:58.719
 with the good news

00:11:58.719 --> 00:11:59.459
 of the kingdom

00:11:59.459 --> 00:12:01.139
 of Jesus Christ

00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:02.679
 Jesus is teaching

00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:03.419
 us here through

00:12:03.419 --> 00:12:04.519
 these parables

00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:05.419
 and these stories

00:12:05.419 --> 00:12:06.539
 that he tells

00:12:06.539 --> 00:12:07.579
 in this section

00:12:07.579 --> 00:12:08.159
 of scripture

00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:10.000
 that hearing

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:10.839
 the word of God

00:12:10.839 --> 00:12:11.500
 properly

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:13.179
 is of vital

00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:13.839
 importance

00:12:13.839 --> 00:12:15.559
 we must truly

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.059
 hear it

00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:16.860
 in fact it has

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:18.179
 eternal significance

00:12:18.179 --> 00:12:19.559
 that we hear it

00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:20.399
 properly

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.319
 do you think

00:12:22.319 --> 00:12:22.819
 of yourself

00:12:22.819 --> 00:12:24.259
 as a good

00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:24.659
 listener

00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:26.399
 generally

00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.399
 do you think

00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:29.759
 you listen well

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:30.439
 to the word

00:12:30.439 --> 00:12:31.340
 of God

00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:32.480
 specifically

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.539
 hearing the word

00:12:34.539 --> 00:12:34.919
 of God

00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:35.459
 properly

00:12:35.459 --> 00:12:36.939
 is of vital

00:12:36.939 --> 00:12:37.659
 importance

00:12:37.659 --> 00:12:38.299
 and that's what

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:38.919
 this passage

00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:39.480
 is about

00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:40.679
 notice Jesus

00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:42.139
 focus on hearing

00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:42.439
 here

00:12:42.439 --> 00:12:43.039
 how do you know

00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:43.679
 Will that that's

00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:44.279
 what this passage

00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:44.699
 is about

00:12:44.699 --> 00:12:45.860
 just look through

00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:46.759
 it and hear

00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:47.480
 what he's saying

00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.539
 we didn't stop

00:12:48.539 --> 00:12:49.059
 as we read

00:12:49.059 --> 00:12:49.399
 through it

00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:50.519
 but verse 8

00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:51.799
 he who has ears

00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:52.399
 to hear

00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:53.559
 let him hear

00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:54.979
 verse 10

00:12:54.979 --> 00:12:56.199
 there's a difference

00:12:56.199 --> 00:12:57.359
 highlighted between

00:12:57.359 --> 00:12:58.779
 mere hearing

00:12:58.779 --> 00:13:00.239
 that I was describing

00:13:00.239 --> 00:13:01.099
 happening while I ate

00:13:01.099 --> 00:13:01.659
 my cereal

00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:02.479
 and watched sports

00:13:02.479 --> 00:13:02.719
 center

00:13:02.719 --> 00:13:03.739
 and true

00:13:03.739 --> 00:13:04.659
 understanding

00:13:04.659 --> 00:13:07.379
 verses 12

00:13:07.379 --> 00:13:08.239
 and 13

00:13:08.239 --> 00:13:08.879
 and 14

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:09.559
 and 15

00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:10.179
 as Jesus

00:13:10.179 --> 00:13:11.359
 begins this famous

00:13:11.359 --> 00:13:12.559
 parable of the

00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:12.859
 sower

00:13:12.859 --> 00:13:13.919
 you'll notice

00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:15.559
 all four soils

00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:16.699
 are people

00:13:16.699 --> 00:13:17.339
 who have

00:13:17.339 --> 00:13:18.039
 heard

00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:19.059
 the word

00:13:19.059 --> 00:13:20.179
 and then

00:13:20.179 --> 00:13:21.000
 what happens

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:21.399
 next

00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:22.419
 it's different

00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:23.159
 each time

00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:24.399
 verse 18

00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:25.039
 Jesus says

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.619
 very clearly

00:13:25.619 --> 00:13:26.739
 take care

00:13:26.739 --> 00:13:27.439
 then how

00:13:27.439 --> 00:13:28.139
 you hear

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:31.099
 in verse 21

00:13:31.099 --> 00:13:31.659
 as we get

00:13:31.659 --> 00:13:32.239
 to the end

00:13:32.239 --> 00:13:33.239
 Jesus says

00:13:33.239 --> 00:13:34.539
 my mother

00:13:34.539 --> 00:13:35.319
 and my brothers

00:13:35.319 --> 00:13:36.579
 the ones

00:13:36.579 --> 00:13:37.399
 that are in

00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:38.339
 this close

00:13:38.339 --> 00:13:39.419
 vital relationship

00:13:39.419 --> 00:13:39.879
 with me

00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:40.479
 are who

00:13:40.479 --> 00:13:41.099
 the one

00:13:41.099 --> 00:13:41.599
 who gave me

00:13:41.599 --> 00:13:41.899
 birth

00:13:41.899 --> 00:13:42.279
 and the ones

00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:42.779
 I grew up

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:43.039
 with

00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:43.639
 no

00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:44.220
 it's those

00:13:44.220 --> 00:13:44.860
 who hear

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:45.639
 the word

00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:46.600
 and do it

00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.459
 that's what

00:13:48.459 --> 00:13:49.240
 Jesus is

00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:50.279
 talking about

00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:50.419
 here

00:13:50.419 --> 00:13:50.879
 we need to

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:51.339
 grasp

00:13:51.339 --> 00:13:51.819
 what he's

00:13:51.819 --> 00:13:52.600
 talking about

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:53.220
 when he's

00:13:53.220 --> 00:13:53.899
 talking about

00:13:53.899 --> 00:13:54.399
 hearing

00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:55.100
 the word

00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:55.639
 of God

00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:56.159
 don't we

00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:56.939
 there's something

00:13:56.939 --> 00:13:57.360
 that he's

00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:58.100
 onto here

00:13:58.100 --> 00:13:58.799
 in this

00:13:58.799 --> 00:13:59.399
 passage

00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:00.839
 when Jesus

00:14:00.839 --> 00:14:01.299
 speaks

00:14:01.299 --> 00:14:01.899
 of the word

00:14:01.899 --> 00:14:02.299
 of God

00:14:02.299 --> 00:14:02.720
 of course

00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:03.259
 he means

00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:03.919
 the holy

00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:04.379
 scriptures

00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:06.100
 what we

00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:06.819
 now know

00:14:06.819 --> 00:14:07.339
 as the

00:14:07.339 --> 00:14:07.720
 Bible

00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.139
 as we

00:14:09.139 --> 00:14:09.600
 have it

00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:10.539
 in particular

00:14:10.539 --> 00:14:11.959
 not just

00:14:11.959 --> 00:14:12.480
 the words

00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:13.039
 themselves

00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:13.960
 but the

00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:14.500
 story

00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:14.920
 that it

00:14:14.920 --> 00:14:15.340
 tells

00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:15.940
 featuring

00:14:15.940 --> 00:14:16.639
 King

00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:17.139
 Jesus

00:14:17.139 --> 00:14:18.320
 as the

00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:18.980
 one who

00:14:18.980 --> 00:14:19.420
 through his

00:14:19.420 --> 00:14:19.899
 life

00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:20.399
 death

00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:21.180
 and resurrection

00:14:21.180 --> 00:14:22.259
 redeems

00:14:22.259 --> 00:14:23.340
 and restores

00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:24.259
 all of

00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:24.600
 God's

00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:25.159
 creation

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:26.360
 that has

00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:26.940
 been broken

00:14:26.940 --> 00:14:27.620
 and fallen

00:14:27.620 --> 00:14:28.620
 and us

00:14:28.620 --> 00:14:29.220
 particularly

00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:29.700
 in our

00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:30.379
 relationship

00:14:30.379 --> 00:14:31.100
 with God

00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:31.379
 that has

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:31.600
 been

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:32.379
 broken

00:14:32.379 --> 00:14:33.379
 by our

00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:34.000
 sin

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.580
 it's

00:14:35.580 --> 00:14:36.240
 the Bible

00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:37.139
 and that

00:14:37.139 --> 00:14:37.580
 message

00:14:37.580 --> 00:14:38.080
 of good

00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:38.360
 news

00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:38.680
 of a

00:14:38.680 --> 00:14:39.060
 Savior

00:14:39.060 --> 00:14:40.120
 Christ

00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:40.700
 the Lord

00:14:40.700 --> 00:14:43.879
 that's

00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:44.000
 what

00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:44.240
 Jesus

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:44.500
 is

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:44.820
 talking

00:14:44.820 --> 00:14:45.120
 about

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:45.560
 that's

00:14:45.560 --> 00:14:45.720
 what

00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:46.040
 it is

00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:46.379
 that we

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:46.700
 must

00:14:46.700 --> 00:14:46.980
 hear

00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:47.680
 properly

00:14:47.680 --> 00:14:49.360
 he says

00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:51.379
 so let me

00:14:51.379 --> 00:14:51.820
 acknowledge

00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:52.320
 up front

00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:53.640
 the awkwardness

00:14:53.640 --> 00:14:54.220
 potentially

00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:54.920
 of a preacher

00:14:54.920 --> 00:14:55.580
 telling you

00:14:55.580 --> 00:14:56.200
 how important

00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:56.759
 his preaching

00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:57.259
 is

00:14:57.259 --> 00:14:58.300
 hey y'all

00:14:58.300 --> 00:14:58.620
 should pay

00:14:58.620 --> 00:14:58.980
 attention

00:14:58.980 --> 00:14:59.300
 to me

00:14:59.300 --> 00:14:59.600
 more

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:00.980
 that seems

00:15:00.980 --> 00:15:01.220
 a little

00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:01.420
 bit

00:15:01.420 --> 00:15:02.080
 self-serving

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:02.720
 and strange

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:03.280
 perhaps

00:15:03.280 --> 00:15:04.620
 this time

00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:05.300
 each week

00:15:05.300 --> 00:15:05.680
 is not

00:15:05.680 --> 00:15:06.280
 the only

00:15:06.280 --> 00:15:06.780
 time

00:15:06.779 --> 00:15:07.319
 you are

00:15:07.319 --> 00:15:07.500
 to

00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:08.019
 encounter

00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:08.639
 the

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:08.879
 word

00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:09.079
 of

00:15:09.079 --> 00:15:09.360
 God

00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:09.559
 but

00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:09.699
 it

00:15:09.699 --> 00:15:09.860
 is

00:15:09.860 --> 00:15:10.019
 a

00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:10.519
 primary

00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:10.980
 one

00:15:10.980 --> 00:15:12.439
 when

00:15:12.439 --> 00:15:12.600
 we

00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:12.879
 open

00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:13.139
 this

00:15:13.139 --> 00:15:13.519
 book

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:14.439
 and

00:15:14.439 --> 00:15:14.919
 read

00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:15.240
 and

00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:15.699
 preach

00:15:15.699 --> 00:15:16.259
 these

00:15:16.259 --> 00:15:17.039
 truths

00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:17.740
 we

00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:18.199
 expect

00:15:18.199 --> 00:15:18.519
 to

00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:18.799
 hear

00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:19.579
 God

00:15:19.579 --> 00:15:20.360
 speak

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.959
 we

00:15:21.959 --> 00:15:22.600
 mean

00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:22.759
 it

00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:23.159
 that

00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:23.659
 strongly

00:15:23.659 --> 00:15:24.039
 because

00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:24.319
 this

00:15:24.319 --> 00:15:24.500
 is

00:15:24.500 --> 00:15:25.100
 his

00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:25.720
 word

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:25.939
 and

00:15:25.939 --> 00:15:26.519
 he

00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:27.079
 continues

00:15:27.079 --> 00:15:27.419
 to

00:15:27.419 --> 00:15:27.819
 speak

00:15:27.819 --> 00:15:28.439
 through

00:15:28.439 --> 00:15:28.699
 it

00:15:28.699 --> 00:15:29.179
 by

00:15:29.179 --> 00:15:29.620
 his

00:15:29.620 --> 00:15:30.120
 spirit

00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.699
 that's

00:15:31.699 --> 00:15:31.839
 not

00:15:31.839 --> 00:15:32.039
 to

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:32.379
 highlight

00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:32.659
 the

00:15:32.659 --> 00:15:33.059
 preacher

00:15:33.059 --> 00:15:34.100
 quite

00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:34.339
 the

00:15:34.339 --> 00:15:34.779
 opposite

00:15:34.779 --> 00:15:35.980
 actually

00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:36.879
 it

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:37.120
 means

00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:37.300
 that

00:15:37.300 --> 00:15:37.480
 the

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:37.740
 good

00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:38.000
 news

00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:38.159
 of

00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:38.340
 the

00:15:38.340 --> 00:15:38.680
 kingdom

00:15:38.680 --> 00:15:39.259
 should

00:15:39.259 --> 00:15:39.779
 far

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:40.620
 outshine

00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:41.480
 the

00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:41.879
 preacher

00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:42.759
 himself

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:43.800
 a

00:15:43.800 --> 00:15:44.080
 British

00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:44.480
 preacher

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:44.920
 Charles

00:15:44.920 --> 00:15:45.440
 Spurgeon

00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:46.320
 once said

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:46.680
 of two

00:15:46.680 --> 00:15:47.120
 of his

00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:47.779
 contemporary

00:15:47.779 --> 00:15:48.519
 preachers

00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:49.139
 Mr.

00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:49.659
 Whitefield

00:15:49.659 --> 00:15:50.120
 and Mr.

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:50.519
 Wesley

00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:50.840
 may

00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:51.180
 preach

00:15:51.180 --> 00:15:51.379
 the

00:15:51.379 --> 00:15:51.720
 gospel

00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:52.100
 better

00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:52.360
 than

00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:52.580
 I

00:15:52.580 --> 00:15:52.860
 do

00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:53.600
 but

00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:53.779
 they

00:15:53.779 --> 00:15:54.100
 can't

00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:54.340
 preach

00:15:54.340 --> 00:15:54.480
 a

00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:54.680
 better

00:15:54.680 --> 00:15:55.180
 gospel

00:15:55.180 --> 00:15:56.620
 amen

00:15:56.620 --> 00:15:58.279
 that's

00:15:58.279 --> 00:15:58.399
 why

00:15:58.399 --> 00:15:58.580
 we

00:15:58.580 --> 00:15:58.840
 come

00:15:58.840 --> 00:15:59.060
 and

00:15:59.060 --> 00:15:59.600
 talk

00:15:59.600 --> 00:15:59.860
 about

00:15:59.860 --> 00:16:00.279
 this

00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:01.320
 it's

00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:01.480
 not

00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:01.659
 really

00:16:01.659 --> 00:16:01.920
 all that

00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:02.360
 interesting

00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:02.860
 what I

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:03.159
 might

00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:03.600
 think

00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:04.220
 personally

00:16:04.220 --> 00:16:04.519
 but

00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:05.060
 if

00:16:05.060 --> 00:16:05.399
 God

00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:05.720
 were to

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:05.940
 speak

00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:06.160
 to

00:16:06.160 --> 00:16:06.340
 us

00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:06.519
 we

00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:06.720
 ought

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:06.940
 to

00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:07.399
 listen

00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:09.300
 the

00:16:09.300 --> 00:16:09.500
 word

00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:09.680
 of

00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:09.899
 God

00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:10.100
 the

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:10.960
 message

00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:11.759
 therein

00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:12.000
 is

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:12.259
 what

00:16:12.259 --> 00:16:12.480
 we

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:12.940
 must

00:16:12.940 --> 00:16:13.500
 hear

00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:14.060
 properly

00:16:14.060 --> 00:16:14.320
 not

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:14.500
 the

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:15.000
 eloquence

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:15.200
 of

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:15.540
 will

00:16:15.540 --> 00:16:15.779
 or

00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:16.080
 anyone

00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:16.580
 else

00:16:16.580 --> 00:16:17.620
 and

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:17.740
 I'm

00:16:17.740 --> 00:16:17.920
 never

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:18.200
 going to

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:18.660
 apologize

00:16:18.660 --> 00:16:19.100
 for

00:16:19.100 --> 00:16:19.540
 highlighting

00:16:19.540 --> 00:16:19.899
 that

00:16:19.899 --> 00:16:20.440
 priority

00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:21.040
 it's

00:16:21.040 --> 00:16:21.220
 his

00:16:21.220 --> 00:16:21.540
 word

00:16:21.540 --> 00:16:21.940
 not

00:16:21.940 --> 00:16:22.879
 mine

00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:24.680
 so

00:16:24.680 --> 00:16:25.100
 what

00:16:25.100 --> 00:16:25.279
 does

00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:25.560
 Jesus

00:16:25.560 --> 00:16:26.019
 say

00:16:26.019 --> 00:16:26.940
 that

00:16:26.940 --> 00:16:27.560
 proper

00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:27.860
 or

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:28.300
 true

00:16:28.300 --> 00:16:28.920
 hearing

00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:29.259
 of

00:16:29.259 --> 00:16:29.440
 the

00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:29.680
 word

00:16:29.680 --> 00:16:29.860
 of

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:30.240
 God

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:31.139
 looks

00:16:31.139 --> 00:16:31.620
 like

00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:33.060
 what's

00:16:33.060 --> 00:16:33.179
 he

00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:33.820
 describe

00:16:33.820 --> 00:16:34.080
 in

00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:34.259
 this

00:16:34.259 --> 00:16:34.779
 passage

00:16:34.779 --> 00:16:35.039
 well

00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:35.539
 after

00:16:35.539 --> 00:16:35.840
 some

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.200
 negative

00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:36.980
 examples

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:37.500
 we get

00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:37.799
 to the

00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:38.080
 end

00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:38.399
 of the

00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:38.759
 parable

00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:39.019
 of

00:16:39.019 --> 00:16:39.220
 the

00:16:39.220 --> 00:16:39.500
 sower

00:16:39.500 --> 00:16:40.259
 and

00:16:40.259 --> 00:16:40.539
 there's

00:16:40.539 --> 00:16:40.919
 good

00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.379
 soil

00:16:41.379 --> 00:16:41.799
 right

00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:43.259
 here's

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:43.539
 what it's

00:16:43.539 --> 00:16:43.759
 supposed

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.159
 to look

00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:44.419
 like

00:16:44.419 --> 00:16:45.039
 verse

00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:45.580
 eight

00:16:45.580 --> 00:16:48.179
 some

00:16:48.179 --> 00:16:48.519
 fell

00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:48.860
 into

00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:49.299
 good

00:16:49.299 --> 00:16:49.779
 soil

00:16:49.779 --> 00:16:50.279
 and

00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:50.620
 grew

00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:50.919
 and

00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:51.539
 yielded

00:16:51.539 --> 00:16:51.720
 a

00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:52.060
 hundred

00:16:52.060 --> 00:16:52.560
 fold

00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:53.539
 and

00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:53.700
 then

00:16:53.700 --> 00:16:53.980
 Jesus

00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:54.840
 explains

00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:55.399
 later

00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:55.820
 what the

00:16:55.820 --> 00:16:56.139
 parable

00:16:56.139 --> 00:16:56.519
 means

00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:57.159
 he says

00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:57.560
 as for

00:16:57.560 --> 00:16:57.779
 that

00:16:57.779 --> 00:16:58.080
 in the

00:16:58.080 --> 00:16:58.279
 good

00:16:58.279 --> 00:16:58.639
 soil

00:16:58.639 --> 00:16:59.460
 they are

00:16:59.460 --> 00:16:59.759
 those

00:16:59.759 --> 00:16:59.960
 who

00:16:59.960 --> 00:17:00.379
 hearing

00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:00.639
 the

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.019
 word

00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:01.879
 hold

00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:02.039
 it

00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:02.639
 fast

00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:02.860
 in

00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:03.039
 an

00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:03.439
 honest

00:17:03.439 --> 00:17:03.699
 and

00:17:03.699 --> 00:17:03.939
 good

00:17:03.939 --> 00:17:04.420
 heart

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:05.059
 and

00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:05.319
 bear

00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:05.879
 fruit

00:17:05.879 --> 00:17:06.619
 with

00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:07.180
 patience

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:07.559
 there's

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:08.119
 two

00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:08.559
 things

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:08.759
 that

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:08.960
 he

00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:09.759
 highlights

00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:10.019
 there

00:17:10.019 --> 00:17:10.420
 first

00:17:10.420 --> 00:17:10.940
 proper

00:17:10.940 --> 00:17:11.480
 hearing

00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:12.460
 begins

00:17:12.460 --> 00:17:12.839
 with

00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:13.559
 faith

00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:14.700
 with

00:17:14.700 --> 00:17:15.220
 holding

00:17:15.220 --> 00:17:15.500
 it

00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:16.279
 fast

00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:16.519
 it

00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:16.839
 starts

00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:17.099
 with

00:17:17.099 --> 00:17:17.639
 trusting

00:17:17.639 --> 00:17:17.940
 the

00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:18.160
 word

00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:18.339
 of

00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:18.720
 God

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:19.279
 as

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:19.440
 the

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:19.819
 truth

00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:20.079
 that

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:20.680
 directs

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:20.900
 and

00:17:20.900 --> 00:17:21.319
 guides

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:21.680
 me

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:22.799
 not

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:23.200
 just

00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:23.680
 because

00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:23.879
 of

00:17:23.879 --> 00:17:24.059
 what

00:17:24.059 --> 00:17:24.200
 it

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.379
 is

00:17:24.379 --> 00:17:24.559
 but

00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:25.019
 because

00:17:25.019 --> 00:17:25.240
 it

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:25.639
 comes

00:17:25.639 --> 00:17:25.920
 from

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:26.119
 the

00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:26.400
 one

00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:26.779
 I

00:17:26.779 --> 00:17:27.420
 trust

00:17:27.420 --> 00:17:28.460
 to

00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:28.660
 be

00:17:28.660 --> 00:17:28.960
 my

00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:29.340
 good

00:17:29.340 --> 00:17:29.920
 shepherd

00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:30.920
 because

00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:31.319
 I

00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:31.799
 trust

00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:32.360
 him

00:17:32.360 --> 00:17:33.539
 I

00:17:33.539 --> 00:17:33.960
 trust

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:34.360
 his

00:17:34.360 --> 00:17:35.160
 word

00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:36.000
 we

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.160
 are

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:36.420
 not

00:17:36.420 --> 00:17:36.880
 merely

00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:37.140
 to

00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:37.660
 hear

00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:38.079
 the

00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:38.400
 words

00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:38.600
 of

00:17:38.600 --> 00:17:39.059
 scripture

00:17:39.059 --> 00:17:39.740
 but

00:17:39.740 --> 00:17:39.980
 to

00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:40.400
 hold

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:40.779
 them

00:17:40.779 --> 00:17:41.720
 fast

00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:42.259
 they

00:17:42.259 --> 00:17:42.480
 are

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:43.039
 written

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:43.559
 that

00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:43.740
 we

00:17:43.740 --> 00:17:43.980
 might

00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:44.140
 get

00:17:44.140 --> 00:17:44.380
 to

00:17:44.380 --> 00:17:44.759
 know

00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:45.079
 our

00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:45.600
 creator

00:17:45.600 --> 00:17:46.180
 and

00:17:46.180 --> 00:17:46.700
 king

00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:47.200
 that

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:47.340
 we

00:17:47.340 --> 00:17:47.579
 might

00:17:47.579 --> 00:17:48.039
 worship

00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:48.380
 him

00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:48.680
 more

00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:49.420
 trust

00:17:49.420 --> 00:17:49.799
 him

00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:50.059
 more

00:17:50.059 --> 00:17:51.259
 contemplate

00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:51.519
 him

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:51.799
 more

00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:52.480
 consider

00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:52.980
 who

00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:53.220
 he

00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:53.519
 is

00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:53.840
 that

00:17:53.840 --> 00:17:53.960
 we

00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:54.140
 might

00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:54.319
 have

00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:54.460
 an

00:17:54.460 --> 00:17:54.880
 actual

00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:55.840
 relationship

00:17:55.840 --> 00:17:56.240
 with

00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:56.440
 him

00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:56.700
 through

00:17:56.700 --> 00:17:57.180
 faith

00:17:57.180 --> 00:17:57.920
 that

00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:58.039
 he

00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:58.200
 would

00:17:58.200 --> 00:17:58.480
 speak

00:17:58.480 --> 00:17:58.620
 and

00:17:58.620 --> 00:17:58.740
 we

00:17:58.740 --> 00:17:58.880
 would

00:17:58.880 --> 00:17:59.340
 listen

00:17:59.340 --> 00:18:00.299
 and

00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:00.400
 we

00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:00.500
 get

00:18:00.500 --> 00:18:00.600
 to

00:18:00.600 --> 00:18:00.820
 speak

00:18:00.820 --> 00:18:01.120
 back

00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:01.299
 to

00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:01.700
 him

00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:01.900
 and

00:18:01.900 --> 00:18:02.320
 know

00:18:02.320 --> 00:18:02.460
 that

00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:02.640
 he

00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:02.980
 hears

00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:03.279
 us

00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:03.640
 as well

00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:03.779
 it's

00:18:03.779 --> 00:18:03.880
 a

00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:04.539
 relationship

00:18:04.539 --> 00:18:07.200
 but of

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:07.360
 course

00:18:07.360 --> 00:18:07.740
 it doesn't

00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:08.580
 stop

00:18:08.580 --> 00:18:09.640
 there

00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:10.019
 it's a

00:18:10.019 --> 00:18:11.220
 relationship

00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:11.960
 that is

00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:12.140
 to

00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:12.759
 transform

00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:13.519
 all of

00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:13.680
 our

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.240
 lives

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:15.580
 hearing

00:18:15.580 --> 00:18:15.860
 that

00:18:15.860 --> 00:18:16.340
 begins

00:18:16.340 --> 00:18:16.720
 with

00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:17.480
 faith

00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:18.000
 also

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.759
 leads

00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:19.500
 to

00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:19.960
 fruit

00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:20.019
 fruit

00:18:20.019 --> 00:18:21.559
 when

00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:21.720
 we

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:22.240
 hear

00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:22.720
 God's

00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:23.000
 word

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:23.440
 with

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:23.960
 faith

00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:24.519
 it

00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:25.000
 produces

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:25.559
 fruit

00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:25.860
 as

00:18:25.860 --> 00:18:26.120
 we

00:18:26.120 --> 00:18:26.819
 persevere

00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:27.900
 patiently

00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:29.319
 a

00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:29.660
 hundred

00:18:29.660 --> 00:18:30.259
 fold

00:18:30.259 --> 00:18:30.799
 kind

00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:30.960
 of

00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:31.220
 fruit

00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:31.620
 verse

00:18:31.620 --> 00:18:31.940
 8

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:32.640
 says

00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:33.100
 we

00:18:33.100 --> 00:18:33.440
 hear

00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:33.880
 God's

00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:34.120
 word

00:18:34.120 --> 00:18:35.079
 and

00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:35.759
 we

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:36.019
 do

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:36.220
 what

00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:36.420
 it

00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:37.019
 says

00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:38.620
 now

00:18:38.620 --> 00:18:38.700
 it

00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:38.819
 just

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:39.059
 makes

00:18:39.059 --> 00:18:39.500
 sense

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:39.720
 that

00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:40.039
 that's

00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:40.500
 part

00:18:40.500 --> 00:18:40.640
 of

00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:41.160

00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:44.400
 we

00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:44.680
 would

00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:45.340
 do

00:18:45.340 --> 00:18:45.980
 what's

00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:46.160
 been

00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:46.480
 said

00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:46.819
 when

00:18:46.819 --> 00:18:46.960
 you

00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:47.259

00:18:49.819 --> 00:18:49.980
 know

00:18:49.980 --> 00:18:50.160
 if

00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:50.340
 she

00:18:50.340 --> 00:18:50.579
 has

00:18:54.299 --> 00:18:54.600
 gets

00:18:54.600 --> 00:18:54.980
 made

00:18:54.980 --> 00:18:55.380
 right

00:18:55.380 --> 00:18:55.759
 if

00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:55.940
 you

00:18:55.940 --> 00:18:56.279
 walk

00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:56.799
 upstairs

00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:57.220
 several

00:18:57.220 --> 00:18:57.539
 minutes

00:18:57.539 --> 00:18:57.900
 later

00:18:57.900 --> 00:18:58.360
 and

 bed

00:18:58.720 --> 00:18:58.860
 is

00:18:58.860 --> 00:18:59.039

00:18:59.039 --> 00:18:59.299
 mess

00:18:59.299 --> 00:18:59.440
 and

00:18:59.440 --> 00:18:59.660
 she

00:18:59.660 --> 00:18:59.960
 sits

00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:00.160
 there

00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:00.279
 on

00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:00.420
 the

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:00.660
 ground

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:01.059
 playing

00:19:04.819 --> 00:19:05.000
 will

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:05.380
 probably

00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:05.700
 say

00:19:05.700 --> 00:19:05.980
 something

00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:06.180
 like

 you

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:08.660
 know

00:19:08.660 --> 00:19:08.880
 that

00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:09.600
 she

00:19:09.600 --> 00:19:09.759
 was

00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:10.059
 close

00:19:10.059 --> 00:19:10.279
 enough

00:19:11.300 --> 00:19:11.700
 ears

00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:12.220
 how

00:19:12.220 --> 00:19:12.440
 many

00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:12.840
 times

00:19:12.840 --> 00:19:13.000
 do

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:13.160
 I

00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:13.360
 have

00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:13.500

00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:14.980
 say

00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:15.300
 it

00:19:15.300 --> 00:19:16.340
 you

00:19:16.340 --> 00:19:16.620
 you've

00:19:16.620 --> 00:19:16.800
 said

00:19:16.800 --> 00:19:17.100
 things

00:19:17.100 --> 00:19:17.320
 like

00:19:17.320 --> 00:19:17.520
 that

00:19:17.520 --> 00:19:17.820
 before

00:19:17.820 --> 00:19:18.080
 right

00:19:18.080 --> 00:19:18.560
 you

00:19:18.560 --> 00:19:19.000
 might

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:19.140
 have

00:19:19.500 --> 00:19:19.680
 but

00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:19.800
 you

00:19:19.800 --> 00:19:20.020
 didn't

00:19:20.020 --> 00:19:20.460
 hear

00:19:20.460 --> 00:19:20.800
 me

00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:21.660
 properly

00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:22.259
 there

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:22.540
 was

00:19:22.540 --> 00:19:23.180
 no

 true

 a

00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:27.880
 boss

00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:28.100
 who

00:19:28.100 --> 00:19:28.440
 gives

00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:29.360
 directions

00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:29.780
 he

00:19:29.780 --> 00:19:30.040
 knows

00:19:30.040 --> 00:19:30.200
 they

00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:30.360
 were

00:19:30.360 --> 00:19:30.980
 physically

00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:31.480
 heard

00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:31.740
 but

00:19:31.740 --> 00:19:32.340
 but he

00:19:32.340 --> 00:19:32.540
 wants

00:19:32.540 --> 00:19:32.780
 to know

00:19:32.780 --> 00:19:33.020
 if there

00:19:33.020 --> 00:19:33.180
 was

00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:33.660
 fruit

00:19:33.660 --> 00:19:34.180
 from

00:19:34.180 --> 00:19:34.380
 them

00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:34.560
 if

 his

00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:35.600
 employees

00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:36.219
 actually

00:19:36.219 --> 00:19:36.740
 followed

00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:36.980
 his

00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:37.599
 directions

00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:39.439
 or

00:19:39.439 --> 00:19:39.539
 if

00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:39.619
 you're

00:19:39.619 --> 00:19:39.819
 at a

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:40.219
 restaurant

00:19:40.219 --> 00:19:40.539
 and

00:19:40.539 --> 00:19:40.639
 you

00:19:40.639 --> 00:19:40.839
 order

00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:41.219
 a

 cheeseburger

00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.119
 with

 no

00:19:42.439 --> 00:19:42.859
 mayo

00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:43.759
 and

00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:43.879
 it

00:19:43.879 --> 00:19:44.159
 comes

00:19:44.159 --> 00:19:44.339
 out

00:19:44.339 --> 00:19:44.419
 and

00:19:44.419 --> 00:19:44.579
 there's

00:19:44.579 --> 00:19:44.879
 white

00:19:44.879 --> 00:19:45.259
 stuff

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:45.619
 dripping

00:19:45.619 --> 00:19:46.159
 off

00:19:46.159 --> 00:19:46.359
 of it

00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:46.500
 all

00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:46.639
 over

00:19:46.639 --> 00:19:46.759
 the

00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:46.899
 place

00:19:46.899 --> 00:19:47.019
 this

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:47.159
 is

00:19:47.159 --> 00:19:47.599
 terrible

00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:47.879
 by the

00:19:47.879 --> 00:19:47.980
 way

00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:48.159
 should

00:19:48.159 --> 00:19:48.359
 never

00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:48.519
 be

00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:48.699
 done

00:19:48.699 --> 00:19:48.899
 that

00:19:48.899 --> 00:19:49.159
 way

00:19:49.159 --> 00:19:50.639
 the

00:19:50.639 --> 00:19:51.139
 server

00:19:51.139 --> 00:19:51.639
 has

00:19:51.639 --> 00:19:51.959
 not

00:19:51.959 --> 00:19:52.500
 heard

00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:52.759
 you

00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:53.259
 they

00:19:53.259 --> 00:19:53.480
 may

00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:53.679
 have

00:19:53.679 --> 00:19:54.480
 heard

00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:55.379
 what

00:19:55.379 --> 00:19:55.559
 you

00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:55.859
 said

00:19:55.859 --> 00:19:56.000
 but

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.179
 they

00:19:56.179 --> 00:19:56.439
 didn't

00:19:56.439 --> 00:19:56.819
 hear

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.000
 you

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:57.419
 properly

00:19:57.419 --> 00:19:57.619
 there

00:19:57.619 --> 00:19:57.740
 was

00:19:57.740 --> 00:19:57.939
 no

00:19:57.939 --> 00:19:58.339
 fruit

00:19:58.339 --> 00:19:58.659
 from

00:19:58.659 --> 00:19:58.879
 your

00:19:58.879 --> 00:19:59.500
 comment

00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:00.859
 your

00:20:00.859 --> 00:20:01.159
 words

00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:01.440
 didn't

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:01.700
 have

00:20:01.700 --> 00:20:01.880
 the

00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:02.420
 desired

00:20:02.420 --> 00:20:03.080
 effect

00:20:03.080 --> 00:20:03.460
 right

00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:04.759
 hearing

00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:05.519
 properly

00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:06.400
 involves

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.400
 hearing

00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:09.680
 trusting

00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:10.360
 and

00:20:10.360 --> 00:20:11.320
 action

00:20:11.320 --> 00:20:12.180
 proper

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:12.580
 hearing

00:20:12.580 --> 00:20:13.019
 begins

00:20:13.019 --> 00:20:13.259
 with

00:20:13.259 --> 00:20:13.779
 faith

00:20:13.779 --> 00:20:14.360
 and

00:20:14.360 --> 00:20:14.560
 that

00:20:14.560 --> 00:20:14.900
 faith

00:20:14.900 --> 00:20:15.220
 leads

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:15.500
 to

00:20:15.500 --> 00:20:16.040
 fruit

00:20:16.040 --> 00:20:16.720
 fruit

00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:16.920
 that

00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:17.300
 according

00:20:17.300 --> 00:20:17.560
 to

00:20:17.560 --> 00:20:17.700
 the

00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:18.000
 next

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:18.600
 brief

00:20:18.600 --> 00:20:19.000
 parable

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:19.300
 Jesus

00:20:19.300 --> 00:20:19.740
 tells

00:20:19.740 --> 00:20:20.019
 about

00:20:20.019 --> 00:20:20.259
 the

00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:20.700
 lamp

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:21.740
 shines

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:22.220
 into

00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:22.820
 every

00:20:22.820 --> 00:20:23.180
 area

00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:23.360
 of

00:20:23.360 --> 00:20:23.500
 our

00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:23.800
 lives

00:20:23.800 --> 00:20:24.120
 that's

00:20:24.120 --> 00:20:24.400
 what's

00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:24.840
 going

00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:25.200
 on

00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:25.420
 here

00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:25.720
 it's

00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:26.160
 very

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:26.420
 hard

00:20:26.420 --> 00:20:26.540
 to

00:20:26.540 --> 00:20:26.860
 understand

00:20:26.860 --> 00:20:27.100
 out

00:20:27.100 --> 00:20:27.240
 of

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:27.720
 context

00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:27.960
 but

00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:28.400
 in

00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:28.540
 the

00:20:28.540 --> 00:20:28.880
 context

00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:29.060
 of

00:20:29.060 --> 00:20:29.160
 what

00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:29.279
 we're

00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:29.580
 talking

00:20:29.580 --> 00:20:29.840
 about

00:20:29.840 --> 00:20:30.080
 this

00:20:30.080 --> 00:20:30.500
 parable

00:20:30.500 --> 00:20:30.680
 of

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:30.820
 the

00:20:30.820 --> 00:20:31.100
 lamp

00:20:31.099 --> 00:20:31.740
 begins

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:31.980
 to

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:32.240
 make

00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:33.019
 sense

00:20:33.019 --> 00:20:33.779
 look

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:33.879
 at

00:20:33.879 --> 00:20:34.099
 verses

00:20:34.099 --> 00:20:34.719
 16

00:20:34.719 --> 00:20:35.000
 through

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:35.500
 18

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:36.619
 no

00:20:36.619 --> 00:20:36.799
 one

00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:37.039
 after

00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:37.419
 lighting

00:20:37.419 --> 00:20:37.619
 a

00:20:37.619 --> 00:20:37.859
 lamp

00:20:37.859 --> 00:20:38.439
 covers

00:20:38.439 --> 00:20:38.619
 it

00:20:38.619 --> 00:20:38.779
 with

00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:38.939
 a

00:20:38.939 --> 00:20:39.199
 jar

00:20:39.199 --> 00:20:39.419
 or

00:20:39.419 --> 00:20:39.980
 puts

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:40.119
 it

00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:40.279
 under

00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:40.459
 a

00:20:40.459 --> 00:20:40.639
 bed

00:20:40.639 --> 00:20:40.859
 but

00:20:40.859 --> 00:20:41.419
 instead

00:20:41.419 --> 00:20:41.740
 puts

00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:41.839
 it

00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:41.939
 on

00:20:41.939 --> 00:20:42.099
 a

00:20:42.099 --> 00:20:42.359
 stand

00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:42.579
 so

00:20:42.579 --> 00:20:42.699
 that

00:20:42.699 --> 00:20:42.919
 those

00:20:42.919 --> 00:20:43.079
 who

00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:43.379
 enter

00:20:43.379 --> 00:20:43.619
 may

00:20:43.619 --> 00:20:43.919
 see

00:20:43.919 --> 00:20:44.139
 the

00:20:44.139 --> 00:20:44.399
 light

00:20:44.399 --> 00:20:44.799
 this

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:44.919
 is

00:20:44.919 --> 00:20:45.119
 the

00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:45.579
 word

00:20:45.579 --> 00:20:45.740
 of

00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:45.980
 God

00:20:45.980 --> 00:20:46.159
 that

00:20:46.159 --> 00:20:46.419
 Jesus

00:20:46.419 --> 00:20:46.740
 is

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:47.240
 describing

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:47.619
 right

00:20:47.619 --> 00:20:48.459
 it's

00:20:48.459 --> 00:20:48.639
 not

00:20:48.639 --> 00:20:48.919
 something

00:20:48.919 --> 00:20:49.240
 to be

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:49.539
 heard

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:49.679
 and

00:20:49.679 --> 00:20:49.819
 then

00:20:49.819 --> 00:20:50.099
 hidden

00:20:50.099 --> 00:20:50.480
 away

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:50.719
 as

00:20:50.719 --> 00:20:50.879
 though

00:20:50.879 --> 00:20:51.039
 it

00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:51.679
 speaks

00:20:51.679 --> 00:20:52.079
 into

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:52.599
 nothing

00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:53.339
 else

00:20:53.339 --> 00:20:54.119
 and

00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:54.279
 we

00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:54.419
 end

00:20:54.420 --> 00:20:54.560
 up

00:20:54.560 --> 00:20:54.880
 living

00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:55.160
 in

00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:55.600
 darkness

00:20:55.600 --> 00:20:56.019
 but

00:20:56.019 --> 00:20:56.820
 no

00:20:56.820 --> 00:20:57.060
 it's

00:20:57.060 --> 00:20:57.300
 rather

00:20:57.300 --> 00:20:57.519
 that

00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:57.800
 we

00:20:57.800 --> 00:20:57.960
 and

00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:58.320
 others

00:20:58.320 --> 00:20:58.759
 around

00:20:58.759 --> 00:20:58.980
 us

00:20:58.980 --> 00:20:59.160

 how

 not

00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:58.400
 it

00:21:58.860 --> 00:21:59.380
 it

00:21:59.380 --> 00:21:59.500
 will

00:21:59.500 --> 00:21:59.819
 stop

 it

00:22:03.360 --> 00:22:03.680
 morning

00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:04.019
 because

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:04.240
 it

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:05.000
 doesn't

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:05.259
 matter

00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:07.059
 even

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:07.600
 what

00:22:07.600 --> 00:22:07.740
 I

00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:08.140
 thought

00:22:08.140 --> 00:22:08.279
 it

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:08.480
 was

 useful

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:09.140
 for

00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:09.480
 won't

00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:09.819
 be

00:22:09.819 --> 00:22:10.120
 worth

00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:10.759
 anything

00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:11.900
 anymore

00:22:11.900 --> 00:22:12.140
 it's

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:12.319
 not

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:12.799
 just

00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:13.019
 about

 churchy

00:22:13.539 --> 00:22:13.900
 things

00:22:13.900 --> 00:22:14.340
 it's

00:22:14.340 --> 00:22:14.480
 to

00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:14.779
 shine

00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:15.299
 light

00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:15.819
 into

00:22:15.819 --> 00:22:16.340
 all

00:22:16.340 --> 00:22:16.519
 of

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:16.960
 life

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:17.600

 proper

00:22:24.620 --> 00:22:25.120
 hearing

00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:25.620
 involves

00:22:25.620 --> 00:22:26.019
 seeing

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:26.539
 every

00:22:26.539 --> 00:22:27.039
 part

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.539
 of

00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:27.740
 my

00:22:27.740 --> 00:22:28.059
 life

00:22:28.059 --> 00:22:28.279
 as

00:22:30.059 --> 00:22:30.519
 and

00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:30.819
 therefore

00:22:30.819 --> 00:22:31.660
 responding

00:22:31.660 --> 00:22:33.319
 redirecting

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:33.519
 when

00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:34.059
 necessary

00:22:34.059 --> 00:22:34.940
 repenting

00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:35.460
 when

 fruit

00:22:42.059 --> 00:22:42.380
 look

00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:42.860
 like

00:22:42.860 --> 00:22:44.779
 just

00:22:44.779 --> 00:22:45.160
 a couple

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.440
 God's

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:50.180
 providence

00:22:50.180 --> 00:22:51.120
 in

00:22:51.120 --> 00:22:51.360
 his

00:22:51.360 --> 00:22:51.740
 word

00:22:51.740 --> 00:22:51.940
 his

00:22:51.940 --> 00:22:52.759
 sovereign

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:53.340
 care

00:22:53.340 --> 00:22:53.640
 for

00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:53.860
 me

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:54.039
 even

00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:54.199
 in

00:22:54.199 --> 00:22:54.439
 the

00:22:54.439 --> 00:22:55.059
 painful

00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:55.539
 parts

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:55.740
 of

00:22:55.740 --> 00:22:56.000
 life

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.459
 it's

00:22:56.459 --> 00:22:56.679
 not

00:22:56.679 --> 00:22:57.079
 merely

00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:57.319
 for

00:22:57.319 --> 00:22:57.459
 the

00:22:57.459 --> 00:22:57.759
 purpose

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:57.979
 of

00:22:57.979 --> 00:22:58.099
 me

00:22:58.099 --> 00:22:58.319
 being

00:22:58.319 --> 00:22:58.539
 able

00:22:58.539 --> 00:22:58.719
 to

00:22:58.719 --> 00:22:59.000
 teach

00:22:59.000 --> 00:22:59.199
 a

00:22:59.199 --> 00:22:59.619
 lesson

00:22:59.619 --> 00:23:00.279
 or

00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:00.419
 to

00:23:00.419 --> 00:23:00.699
 answer

00:23:00.699 --> 00:23:00.919
 a

00:23:00.919 --> 00:23:01.259
 test

00:23:01.259 --> 00:23:01.799
 question

00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:02.119
 about

00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:02.939
 providence

00:23:02.939 --> 00:23:04.000
 but

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:04.339
 rather

00:23:04.339 --> 00:23:04.579
 it

00:23:04.579 --> 00:23:04.899
 leads

00:23:04.899 --> 00:23:05.199
 my

00:23:05.199 --> 00:23:05.679
 heart

00:23:05.679 --> 00:23:05.919
 to

00:23:05.919 --> 00:23:06.559
 trust

00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:06.919
 him

00:23:06.919 --> 00:23:07.199
 in

00:23:07.199 --> 00:23:08.039
 grief

00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:08.279
 and

00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:08.779
 in

00:23:08.779 --> 00:23:09.319
 struggle

00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:10.179
 it's

00:23:10.179 --> 00:23:10.500
 for

00:23:10.500 --> 00:23:11.019
 that

00:23:11.019 --> 00:23:11.259
 in

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:11.500
 my

00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:12.000
 life

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:13.439
 it

00:23:13.439 --> 00:23:13.659
 means

00:23:13.659 --> 00:23:13.799
 that

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:13.959
 when

00:23:13.959 --> 00:23:14.139
 I

00:23:14.139 --> 00:23:14.459
 see

00:23:14.459 --> 00:23:14.659
 I

00:23:14.659 --> 00:23:14.879
 am

00:23:14.879 --> 00:23:15.979
 disobeying

00:23:15.979 --> 00:23:16.219
 my

00:23:16.219 --> 00:23:16.899
 parents

00:23:16.899 --> 00:23:18.000
 or

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:19.059
 misusing

00:23:19.059 --> 00:23:19.399
 my

00:23:19.399 --> 00:23:19.879
 body

00:23:19.879 --> 00:23:20.859
 or

00:23:20.859 --> 00:23:21.579
 neglecting

00:23:21.579 --> 00:23:21.919
 another

00:23:21.919 --> 00:23:22.699
 of God's

00:23:22.699 --> 00:23:23.539
 commands

00:23:23.539 --> 00:23:24.259
 that

00:23:24.259 --> 00:23:24.379
 when

00:23:24.379 --> 00:23:24.519
 I

00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:25.000
 see

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:25.279
 that

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:25.440
 in

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:25.759
 God's

00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:25.920
 word

00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:26.119
 I

00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:26.779
 confess

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:27.099
 my

00:23:27.099 --> 00:23:27.579
 sin

00:23:27.579 --> 00:23:28.740
 and

00:23:28.740 --> 00:23:29.039
 turning

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:29.319
 back

00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:29.440
 to

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:29.579
 him

00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:29.899
 seek

00:23:29.899 --> 00:23:30.099
 to

00:23:30.099 --> 00:23:30.339
 live

00:23:30.339 --> 00:23:30.519
 the

00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:30.700
 way

00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:30.879
 that

00:23:30.879 --> 00:23:31.440
 God

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:31.940
 directs

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:32.079
 me

00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:32.319
 to

00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:32.539
 live

00:23:32.539 --> 00:23:32.759
 even

00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:32.960
 if

00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:33.079
 I

00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:33.359
 don't

00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:33.839
 fully

00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:34.619
 understand

00:23:34.619 --> 00:23:35.759
 why

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:35.980
 it's

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:36.399
 best

00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:38.500
 it

00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:38.720
 means

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:38.759
 it

00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:38.840
 means on

00:23:38.840 --> 00:23:38.980
 a

00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:39.160
 day

00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:39.360
 when

00:23:39.360 --> 00:23:39.560
 I'm

00:23:39.560 --> 00:23:39.720
 ready

00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:39.900
 to

00:23:39.900 --> 00:23:40.120
 give

00:23:40.120 --> 00:23:40.320
 up

00:23:40.320 --> 00:23:40.800
 hope

00:23:40.800 --> 00:23:41.160
 all

00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:41.660
 together

00:23:41.660 --> 00:23:42.000
 and

00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:42.800
 everything

00:23:42.800 --> 00:23:43.080
 is

00:23:43.080 --> 00:23:43.740
 dark

00:23:43.740 --> 00:23:44.400
 that

00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:44.580
 I

00:23:44.580 --> 00:23:45.100
 see

00:23:45.100 --> 00:23:45.600
 God's

00:23:45.600 --> 00:23:45.960
 word

00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:46.100
 and

00:23:46.100 --> 00:23:46.280
 the

00:23:46.280 --> 00:23:47.320
 glory

00:23:47.320 --> 00:23:48.019
 promised

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.280
 to

00:23:48.280 --> 00:23:48.660
 await

00:23:48.660 --> 00:23:48.880
 me

00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:49.080
 in

00:23:49.080 --> 00:23:49.420
 heaven

00:23:49.420 --> 00:23:49.700
 and

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:50.180
 as

00:23:50.180 --> 00:23:50.300
 the

00:23:50.300 --> 00:23:50.640
 hymn writer

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:50.920
 says

00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:51.040
 I

00:23:51.040 --> 00:23:51.900
 trace

00:23:51.900 --> 00:23:52.140
 the

00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:52.480
 rainbow

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:52.860
 through

00:23:52.860 --> 00:23:53.120
 the

00:23:53.120 --> 00:23:53.400
 rain

00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:53.880
 in

00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:54.360
 this

00:23:54.360 --> 00:23:55.000
 situation

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:55.580
 and

00:23:55.580 --> 00:23:55.700
 I

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:55.960
 decide

00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:56.400
 no

00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:56.600
 there

00:23:56.600 --> 00:23:56.920
 is

00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:57.340
 hope

00:23:57.340 --> 00:23:58.259
 I

00:23:58.259 --> 00:23:58.500
 don't

00:23:58.500 --> 00:23:58.840
 see

00:23:58.840 --> 00:23:58.980
 it

00:23:58.980 --> 00:23:59.200
 now

00:23:59.200 --> 00:23:59.360
 but

00:23:59.360 --> 00:23:59.500
 I

00:23:59.500 --> 00:23:59.900
 believe

00:23:59.900 --> 00:24:00.120
 there

00:24:00.120 --> 00:24:00.519
 is

00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:01.280
 hope

00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:02.839
 even

00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:03.240
 here

00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:04.819
 it

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:04.980
 means

00:24:04.980 --> 00:24:05.099
 I

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:05.259
 don't

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:05.519
 merely

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:05.819
 give

00:24:05.819 --> 00:24:06.039
 a

00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:06.379
 cent

00:24:06.379 --> 00:24:06.639
 to

00:24:06.639 --> 00:24:07.039
 Jesus

00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:07.460
 as

00:24:07.460 --> 00:24:07.839
 being

00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:08.359
 the

00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:08.599
 most

00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:09.079
 valuable

00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:09.559
 thing

00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:10.799
 that

00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:10.899
 I

00:24:10.899 --> 00:24:11.079
 don't

00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:11.319
 just

00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:11.859
 say

00:24:11.859 --> 00:24:12.279
 things

00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:12.440
 in

00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:12.680
 verses

00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:12.960
 I've

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:13.119
 heard

00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:13.440
 before

00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:13.660
 like

00:24:13.660 --> 00:24:13.940
 I

00:24:13.940 --> 00:24:14.139
 should

00:24:14.139 --> 00:24:14.399
 seek

00:24:14.399 --> 00:24:14.740
 God's

00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:14.960
 kingdom

00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:15.440
 first

00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:15.700
 above

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:16.039
 all

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:16.379
 else

00:24:16.379 --> 00:24:16.740
 that

00:24:16.740 --> 00:24:16.839
 I

00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:16.980
 don't

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:17.160
 just

00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:17.420
 say

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:17.759
 those

00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:18.119
 things

00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:18.339
 or

00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:18.819
 recognize

00:24:18.819 --> 00:24:19.160
 that

00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:19.319
 they're

00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:19.500
 from

00:24:19.500 --> 00:24:19.680
 the

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:19.980
 Bible

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:20.539
 but

00:24:20.539 --> 00:24:20.720
 that

00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:21.099
 those

00:24:21.099 --> 00:24:21.740
 values

00:24:21.740 --> 00:24:22.139
 would

00:24:22.139 --> 00:24:22.619
 drive

00:24:22.619 --> 00:24:22.859
 my

00:24:22.859 --> 00:24:23.180
 major

00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:23.539
 life

00:24:23.539 --> 00:24:24.079
 decisions

00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:25.160
 more

00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:25.359
 than

00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:25.799
 dollars

00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:26.220
 or

00:24:26.220 --> 00:24:26.879
 other

00:24:26.879 --> 00:24:27.480
 desires

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:27.779
 that

00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:27.899
 I

00:24:27.899 --> 00:24:28.139
 might

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:31.559
 decisions

00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:31.899
 I'm

00:24:31.899 --> 00:24:32.259
 making

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:33.039
 day

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:33.180
 to

00:24:33.180 --> 00:24:33.460
 day

00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:35.480
 that's

00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:35.720
 Jesus

00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:36.139
 heart

00:24:36.139 --> 00:24:37.139
 that

00:24:37.139 --> 00:24:37.299
 we

00:24:37.299 --> 00:24:37.500
 would

00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:37.779
 hear

00:24:37.779 --> 00:24:38.579
 properly

00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:40.299
 trusting

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:40.839
 him

00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:41.680
 and

00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:42.220
 following

00:24:42.220 --> 00:24:42.599
 him

00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:42.740
 in

00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:43.079
 every

00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:43.399
 part

00:24:43.399 --> 00:24:43.519
 of

00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:43.660
 our

00:24:43.660 --> 00:24:43.879
 lives

00:24:43.879 --> 00:24:44.339
 having

00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:44.539
 a

00:24:44.539 --> 00:24:45.279
 relationship

00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:45.740
 with

00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:46.139
 him

00:24:46.139 --> 00:24:46.899
 that

00:24:46.899 --> 00:24:47.660
 transforms

00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:48.259
 all

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:48.420
 of

00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:48.819
 life

00:24:48.819 --> 00:24:51.079
 but

00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:51.339
 Jesus

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:51.819
 addresses

00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:52.799
 this

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:53.200
 issue

00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:53.420
 of

00:24:53.420 --> 00:24:53.819
 hearing

00:24:53.819 --> 00:24:54.119
 at

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:54.559
 length

00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:54.759
 in

 this

00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:55.579
 passage

00:24:55.579 --> 00:24:56.619
 because

00:24:56.619 --> 00:24:56.839
 he

00:24:56.839 --> 00:24:57.059
 knows

00:24:57.059 --> 00:24:57.279
 so

00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:57.500
 many

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:57.680
 of

00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:57.839
 us

00:24:57.839 --> 00:24:58.079
 have

00:24:58.079 --> 00:24:58.480

00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:00.879
 way

00:25:00.879 --> 00:25:01.119
 in

00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:01.439
 told

00:25:01.439 --> 00:25:01.619
 me

00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:01.799
 you

00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:01.979
 saw

00:25:01.979 --> 00:25:02.199
 the

00:25:02.199 --> 00:25:02.599
 title

00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:02.879
 and

00:25:02.879 --> 00:25:03.039
 said

00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:03.159
 I

00:25:03.159 --> 00:25:03.299
 got

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:03.619
 hearing

00:25:03.619 --> 00:25:04.159
 problems

00:25:04.159 --> 00:25:04.319
 are

00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:04.419
 you

00:25:04.419 --> 00:25:04.759
 talking

00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:05.099
 about

00:25:05.099 --> 00:25:05.239
 me

00:25:05.239 --> 00:25:05.559
 today

00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:07.279
 maybe

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:07.519
 maybe

00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:07.799
 not

00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:09.119
 I

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:09.399
 promise

00:25:09.399 --> 00:25:09.579
 not

00:25:09.579 --> 00:25:09.679
 to

00:25:09.679 --> 00:25:09.819
 talk

00:25:09.819 --> 00:25:10.000
 about

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:10.299
 hearing

00:25:10.299 --> 00:25:10.639
 aids

00:25:10.639 --> 00:25:12.599
 but

00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:12.799
 we've

00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:13.119
 seen

00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:13.539
 many

00:25:13.539 --> 00:25:13.799
 in

00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:14.059
 Luke

00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:14.479
 already

00:25:14.479 --> 00:25:14.659
 who

00:25:14.659 --> 00:25:14.819
 have

00:25:14.819 --> 00:25:15.219
 hearing

00:25:15.219 --> 00:25:15.859
 problems

00:25:15.859 --> 00:25:16.719
 they're

00:25:16.719 --> 00:25:16.939
 in the

00:25:16.939 --> 00:25:17.359
 crowds

00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:17.819
 around

00:25:17.819 --> 00:25:18.159
 Jesus

00:25:18.159 --> 00:25:18.659
 they hear

00:25:18.659 --> 00:25:19.019
 lots

00:25:19.019 --> 00:25:19.199
 of

00:25:19.199 --> 00:25:19.519
 things

00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:19.739
 that

00:25:19.739 --> 00:25:19.919
 he

00:25:19.919 --> 00:25:20.419
 says

00:25:20.419 --> 00:25:21.000
 but

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:21.139
 they

00:25:21.139 --> 00:25:21.319
 don't

00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:21.739
 respond

00:25:21.739 --> 00:25:21.979
 with

00:25:21.979 --> 00:25:22.379
 faith

00:25:22.379 --> 00:25:22.819
 or

00:25:22.819 --> 00:25:23.779
 fruit

00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:25.019
 where

00:25:25.019 --> 00:25:25.199
 does

00:25:25.199 --> 00:25:25.359
 that

00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:25.739
 hearing

00:25:25.739 --> 00:25:26.239
 problem

00:25:26.239 --> 00:25:26.819
 come

00:25:26.819 --> 00:25:27.259
 from

00:25:27.259 --> 00:25:28.819
 let's

00:25:28.819 --> 00:25:28.959
 look

00:25:28.959 --> 00:25:29.159
 back

00:25:29.159 --> 00:25:29.519
 at the

00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:29.920
 parable

00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:30.119
 of

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:30.319
 the

00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:30.579
 sower

00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:30.940
 again

00:25:30.940 --> 00:25:31.119
 there

00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:31.519
 were

00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:31.759
 four

00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:32.119
 kinds

00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:32.299
 of

00:25:32.299 --> 00:25:32.579
 soil

00:25:32.579 --> 00:25:32.920
 right

00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:33.460
 four

00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:33.960
 types

00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:34.200
 of

00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:34.480
 people

00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:34.680
 who

00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:34.920
 all

00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:35.480
 heard

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:35.700
 the

00:25:35.700 --> 00:25:35.940
 word

00:25:35.940 --> 00:25:36.160
 but

00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:36.740
 they

00:25:36.740 --> 00:25:37.400
 responded

00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:38.079
 differently

00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:38.759
 something

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:39.440
 different

00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:39.720
 happened

00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:40.079
 we've only

00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:40.319
 talked

00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:40.460
 about

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:40.579
 the

00:25:40.579 --> 00:25:40.759
 good

00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:41.200
 soil

00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:42.519
 so far

00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:43.960
 first

00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:44.200
 there's

00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:44.420
 the

00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:44.940
 soil

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:45.240
 on

00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:45.379
 the

00:25:45.379 --> 00:25:45.879
 path

00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:47.060
 a

00:25:47.060 --> 00:25:47.280
 sower

00:25:47.280 --> 00:25:49.180
 a

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:50.200
 sower

00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:50.540
 and

00:25:50.540 --> 00:25:50.700
 was

00:25:50.700 --> 00:25:51.120
 trampled

00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:51.360
 under

00:25:51.360 --> 00:25:51.660
 foot

00:25:51.660 --> 00:25:51.760
 and

00:25:51.760 --> 00:25:51.880
 the

00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:52.120
 birds

00:25:52.120 --> 00:25:52.260
 of

00:25:52.260 --> 00:25:52.400
 the

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:52.540
 air

00:25:52.540 --> 00:25:53.020
 devoured

00:25:53.020 --> 00:25:53.280
 it

00:25:53.280 --> 00:25:53.880
 and

00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:54.160
 Jesus

00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:54.780
 explains

00:25:54.780 --> 00:25:55.100
 what

00:25:55.100 --> 00:25:55.220
 he

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:55.540
 means

00:25:55.540 --> 00:25:55.980
 the

00:25:55.980 --> 00:25:56.220
 ones

00:25:56.220 --> 00:25:56.520
 along

00:25:56.520 --> 00:25:56.700
 the

00:25:56.700 --> 00:25:57.120
 path

00:25:57.120 --> 00:25:57.280
 are

00:25:57.280 --> 00:25:57.620
 those

00:25:57.620 --> 00:25:57.780
 who

00:25:57.780 --> 00:25:58.020
 have

00:25:58.020 --> 00:25:58.460
 heard

00:25:58.460 --> 00:25:59.060
 then

00:25:59.060 --> 00:25:59.280
 the

00:25:59.280 --> 00:25:59.540
 devil

00:25:59.540 --> 00:26:00.020
 comes

00:26:00.020 --> 00:26:00.260
 and

00:26:00.260 --> 00:26:00.580
 takes

00:26:00.580 --> 00:26:00.900
 away

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:01.100
 the

00:26:01.100 --> 00:26:01.340
 word

00:26:01.340 --> 00:26:01.580
 from

00:26:01.580 --> 00:26:01.800
 their

00:26:01.800 --> 00:26:02.220
 hearts

00:26:02.220 --> 00:26:02.720
 so

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:02.900
 that

00:26:02.900 --> 00:26:03.080
 they

00:26:03.080 --> 00:26:03.340
 may

00:26:03.340 --> 00:26:03.640
 not

00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:04.160
 believe

00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:04.660
 and

00:26:04.660 --> 00:26:04.920
 be

00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:05.440
 saved

00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:06.260
 hearing

00:26:06.260 --> 00:26:06.640
 problem

00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:06.900
 number

00:26:06.900 --> 00:26:07.320
 one

00:26:07.320 --> 00:26:08.920
 Satan

00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:10.060
 himself

00:26:10.060 --> 00:26:12.060
 did

00:26:12.060 --> 00:26:12.300
 you know

00:26:12.300 --> 00:26:12.400
 that

00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:12.560
 there's

00:26:12.560 --> 00:26:13.060
 a battle

00:26:13.060 --> 00:26:13.440
 going

00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:13.820
 on

00:26:13.819 --> 00:26:14.759
 every

00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:15.319
 time

00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:15.939
 you

00:26:15.939 --> 00:26:16.179
 hear

00:26:16.179 --> 00:26:16.359
 the

00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:16.599
 word

00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:17.119
 preached

00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:18.439
 every

00:26:18.439 --> 00:26:18.759
 time

00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:18.939
 you

00:26:18.939 --> 00:26:19.279
 walk

00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:19.579
 through

00:26:19.579 --> 00:26:20.019

00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:24.819
 every

00:26:24.819 --> 00:26:25.299
 time

00:26:25.299 --> 00:26:25.759
 you

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:26.240
 stop

00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:26.460
 on

 gospel

00:26:29.339 --> 00:26:29.819
 showing

00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:30.179
 up

00:26:30.179 --> 00:26:30.299
 in

00:26:30.299 --> 00:26:30.460
 a

 situation

00:26:31.019 --> 00:26:31.259
 in

 your

00:26:31.399 --> 00:26:31.679
 life

00:26:31.679 --> 00:26:32.000
 you

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:32.240
 walk

00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:32.399
 into

00:26:32.399 --> 00:26:32.579
 a

00:26:32.579 --> 00:26:32.919
 battle

00:26:32.919 --> 00:26:34.639
 Satan

00:26:34.639 --> 00:26:34.960
 wants

00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:35.139
 to

00:26:35.139 --> 00:26:35.779
 snatch

 the

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:36.259
 word

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:36.539
 away

00:26:36.539 --> 00:26:36.859
 from

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:37.119
 you

00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:38.279
 if

00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:38.439
 you've

00:26:38.439 --> 00:26:38.579
 ever

00:26:38.579 --> 00:26:38.980
 wondered

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:39.240
 why

00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:39.419
 it's

00:26:39.419 --> 00:26:39.599
 so

00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:39.859
 hard

00:26:39.859 --> 00:26:40.059
 to

00:26:40.059 --> 00:26:40.379

00:26:41.299 --> 00:26:42.279
 meditate

00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:43.299
 on

00:26:43.819 --> 00:26:44.480
 your

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:44.799
 life

00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:45.019
 one

00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:45.099
 of

00:26:45.099 --> 00:26:45.240
 the

00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:45.779
 primary

00:26:45.779 --> 00:26:46.240
 reasons

00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:46.519
 is

00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:46.700
 that

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.119
 Satan

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:47.599
 is

00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:48.119
 waging

00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:48.659
 war

00:26:48.659 --> 00:26:49.159
 in

00:26:49.159 --> 00:26:49.419
 your

00:26:49.419 --> 00:26:49.879
 heart

00:26:49.879 --> 00:26:51.439
 urging

00:26:51.439 --> 00:26:51.759
 you

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:51.980
 to

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.279
 doubt

00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:53.079
 God

00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:54.960
 accusing

00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:55.359
 you

00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:55.539
 so

00:26:55.539 --> 00:26:55.679
 that

00:26:55.679 --> 00:26:55.799
 you

00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:56.059
 think

00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:56.200
 you

00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:56.379
 must

00:26:56.379 --> 00:26:56.639
 do

00:26:56.639 --> 00:26:57.039
 something

00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:57.319
 to

00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:57.859
 earn

00:26:57.859 --> 00:26:58.299
 God's

00:26:58.299 --> 00:26:58.619
 favor

00:26:58.619 --> 00:26:58.919
 rather

00:26:58.919 --> 00:26:59.139
 than

00:26:59.139 --> 00:26:59.559
 resting

00:26:59.559 --> 00:26:59.799
 in

00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:00.019
 the

00:27:00.019 --> 00:27:00.539
 comfort

00:27:00.539 --> 00:27:00.779
 of

00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:00.919
 the

00:27:00.919 --> 00:27:01.379
 gospel

00:27:01.379 --> 00:27:03.099
 attempting

00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:03.639
 you

00:27:03.639 --> 00:27:04.439
 to

00:27:04.439 --> 00:27:04.679
 think

00:27:04.679 --> 00:27:04.980
 other

00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:05.759
 things

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:06.079
 would

00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:06.220
 be

00:27:06.220 --> 00:27:06.460
 more

00:27:06.460 --> 00:27:06.859
 productive

00:27:06.859 --> 00:27:07.679
 investments

00:27:07.679 --> 00:27:10.179
 in

00:27:10.179 --> 00:27:10.359
 other

00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:10.559
 words

00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:10.839
 you may

00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:11.019
 have

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:11.339

00:27:12.179 --> 00:27:12.419
 word

00:27:12.419 --> 00:27:12.779
 because

 Satan

00:27:19.159 --> 00:27:19.879
 snatches

 it

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:20.180
 up

 said

00:29:13.280 --> 00:29:13.480
 here's

00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:13.640
 what's

00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:13.820
 going

00:29:13.820 --> 00:29:14.000

00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:15.880
 hear

00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:16.500
 but as

00:29:16.500 --> 00:29:16.860
 they go

00:29:16.860 --> 00:29:17.060
 on

00:29:17.060 --> 00:29:17.240
 their

00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:17.500
 way

00:29:17.500 --> 00:29:17.860
 they are

00:29:17.860 --> 00:29:18.220
 choked

00:29:18.220 --> 00:29:18.620
 by the

00:29:18.620 --> 00:29:19.080
 cares

00:29:19.080 --> 00:29:19.980
 and riches

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:23.800
 does not

00:29:23.800 --> 00:29:24.300
 mature

00:29:24.299 --> 00:29:26.019
 it's not

00:29:26.019 --> 00:29:26.539
 so much

00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:26.839
 the

00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:27.680
 difficulties

00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:28.339
 that they're

00:29:28.339 --> 00:29:28.779
 facing

00:29:28.779 --> 00:29:29.119
 it's

00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:30.019
 maybe even

00:29:30.019 --> 00:29:30.339
 the good

00:29:30.339 --> 00:29:30.859
 things

00:29:30.859 --> 00:29:31.299
 that are

00:29:31.299 --> 00:29:31.659
 happening

00:29:31.659 --> 00:29:32.200
 and that

00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:32.559
 they see

00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:33.220
 around them

00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:33.759
 and that

00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:34.119
 they think

00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:34.639
 that's

00:29:34.639 --> 00:29:35.240
 what really

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:35.599
 matters

00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:36.359
 that's

00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:36.599
 what's

00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:36.839
 really

00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:37.379
 valuable

00:29:37.379 --> 00:29:38.099
 that's

00:29:38.099 --> 00:29:38.440
 what I

00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:38.680
 need

00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:39.019
 more

00:29:39.019 --> 00:29:39.339

00:29:40.339 --> 00:29:40.500
 what

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:40.700
 I'm

00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:41.139
 focusing

00:29:41.139 --> 00:29:41.539
 my

00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:41.919
 life

00:29:41.919 --> 00:29:42.319
 on

00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:43.659
 and the

00:29:43.659 --> 00:29:43.859
 word

00:29:43.859 --> 00:29:44.240
 of God

00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:44.779
 begins

00:29:44.779 --> 00:29:45.680
 to fade

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:46.720
 if you've

00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:47.119
 ever been

00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:47.740
 with someone

00:29:47.740 --> 00:29:48.279
 struggling

00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:48.940
 with hearing

00:29:48.940 --> 00:29:49.480
 loss

00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:50.359
 and you've

00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:50.779
 gone to

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:51.279
 a noisy

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:51.799
 restaurant

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:52.039
 you know

00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:52.960
 how frustrating

00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:53.899
 that can be

00:29:53.900 --> 00:29:54.400
 for them

00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:55.860
 they maybe

00:29:55.860 --> 00:29:56.180
 want to

00:29:56.180 --> 00:29:56.680
 have an

00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:57.160
 important

00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:58.000
 conversation

00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.460
 someone

00:29:58.460 --> 00:29:58.740
 they're

00:29:58.740 --> 00:29:59.140
 focused

00:29:59.140 --> 00:29:59.420
 on

00:29:59.420 --> 00:30:00.200
 but it's

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:00.780
 so hard

00:30:00.780 --> 00:30:01.120
 to do

00:30:01.120 --> 00:30:01.500
 why

00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:02.440
 because

00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:03.040
 all the

00:30:03.040 --> 00:30:03.480
 background

00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:03.920
 noise

00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.460
 can't get

00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:05.019
 filtered out

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:06.000
 it distracts

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:06.300
 them

00:30:06.300 --> 00:30:06.900
 from being

00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:07.220
 able to

00:30:07.220 --> 00:30:07.500
 focus

00:30:07.500 --> 00:30:08.040
 on something

00:30:08.040 --> 00:30:08.880
 they want

00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:09.640
 to treat

00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:10.380
 with importance

00:30:10.380 --> 00:30:11.280
 that's what

00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:11.759
 happens

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.180
 in the

00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:12.620
 thorny

00:30:12.620 --> 00:30:13.580
 soil

00:30:13.580 --> 00:30:14.980
 particularly

00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:15.740
 Jesus says

00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:16.300
 the background

00:30:16.300 --> 00:30:16.759
 noise

00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:17.560
 that tends

00:30:17.560 --> 00:30:18.160
 to drown

00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:18.720
 out what's

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:19.120
 important

00:30:19.120 --> 00:30:19.680
 for us

00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:20.300
 is

00:30:20.300 --> 00:30:21.200
 worldly

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:21.720
 cares

00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:22.320
 the riches

00:30:22.320 --> 00:30:23.860
 of this

00:30:23.859 --> 00:30:24.339
 world

00:30:24.339 --> 00:30:25.240
 gets in

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:25.799
 our ears

00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:26.159
 it's

00:30:26.159 --> 00:30:26.639
 attractive

00:30:26.639 --> 00:30:27.139
 to us

00:30:27.139 --> 00:30:27.679
 it sounds

00:30:27.679 --> 00:30:27.979
 good

00:30:27.979 --> 00:30:28.319
 worldly

00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:28.799
 pleasures

00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:29.279
 do the

00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:29.639
 things

00:30:29.639 --> 00:30:30.339
 that we

00:30:30.339 --> 00:30:30.799
 want to

00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:31.039
 do

00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:31.619
 things

00:30:31.619 --> 00:30:32.439
 experiences

00:30:32.439 --> 00:30:33.579
 priorities

00:30:33.579 --> 00:30:34.179
 that become

00:30:34.179 --> 00:30:34.959
 more valuable

00:30:34.959 --> 00:30:35.779
 or attractive

00:30:35.779 --> 00:30:36.539
 to us

00:30:36.539 --> 00:30:37.439
 than Jesus

00:30:37.439 --> 00:30:39.119
 sometimes

00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:39.439
 even

00:30:39.439 --> 00:30:40.539
 unintentionally

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:41.579
 we notice

00:30:41.579 --> 00:30:42.219
 they've begun

00:30:42.219 --> 00:30:42.759
 to dominate

00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:43.619
 our time

00:30:43.619 --> 00:30:44.459
 and our

00:30:44.459 --> 00:30:44.879
 attention

00:30:44.879 --> 00:30:47.000
 they begin

00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:47.479
 to shape

00:30:47.479 --> 00:30:48.359
 our lives

00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:49.179
 more than

00:30:49.179 --> 00:30:50.139
 God's values

00:30:50.139 --> 00:30:50.659
 more than

00:30:50.659 --> 00:30:51.719
 His word

00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:55.579
 so how's

00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:56.039
 your hearing

00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:59.059
 how are you

00:30:59.059 --> 00:30:59.779
 receiving

00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:01.460
 God's word

00:31:01.460 --> 00:31:03.400
 has the

00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:04.160
 gospel of

00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:04.940
 Jesus Christ

00:31:04.940 --> 00:31:05.640
 become in

00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:06.220
 some ways

00:31:06.220 --> 00:31:07.200
 background

00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:08.059
 noise

00:31:08.059 --> 00:31:10.059
 or is it

00:31:10.059 --> 00:31:10.819
 words of

00:31:10.819 --> 00:31:11.480
 life that

00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:12.339
 you're desperate

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:12.960
 for

00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:14.900
 every day

00:31:14.900 --> 00:31:16.940
 are you

00:31:16.940 --> 00:31:17.880
 bearing fruit

00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:19.420
 or is most

00:31:19.420 --> 00:31:20.160
 of your life

00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:20.560
 when you're

00:31:20.560 --> 00:31:20.780
 honest

00:31:20.780 --> 00:31:21.200
 generally

00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:22.040
 unaffected

00:31:22.040 --> 00:31:23.140
 by what

00:31:23.140 --> 00:31:23.800
 God's word

00:31:23.800 --> 00:31:24.820
 has to say

00:31:24.820 --> 00:31:26.800
 does the

00:31:26.800 --> 00:31:27.140
 good news

00:31:27.140 --> 00:31:27.440
 of the

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:27.800
 kingdom

00:31:27.800 --> 00:31:28.840
 shape your

00:31:28.840 --> 00:31:29.320
 approach

00:31:29.320 --> 00:31:29.920
 to every

00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:30.660
 situation

00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:31.640
 or

00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:32.620
 really

00:31:32.620 --> 00:31:32.900
 it's

00:31:32.900 --> 00:31:33.380
 not at

00:31:33.380 --> 00:31:33.640
 all

00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:34.340
 is a

00:31:34.340 --> 00:31:34.800
 blogger

00:31:34.800 --> 00:31:35.160
 that you

00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:35.580
 follow

00:31:35.580 --> 00:31:36.520
 or just

00:31:36.520 --> 00:31:37.160
 your own

00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:38.060
 wise

00:31:38.060 --> 00:31:38.620
 thoughts

00:31:38.620 --> 00:31:39.180
 far more

00:31:39.180 --> 00:31:39.680
 influential

00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:40.360
 with you

00:31:40.360 --> 00:31:41.120
 when you're

00:31:41.120 --> 00:31:41.860
 making a

00:31:41.860 --> 00:31:42.740
 big decision

00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:44.000
 have you

00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:44.400
 considered

00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:44.740
 how the

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:45.020
 word of

00:31:45.020 --> 00:31:45.200
 God

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:45.680
 speaks into

00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:45.840
 your

00:31:45.840 --> 00:31:46.060
 free

00:31:46.060 --> 00:31:46.460
 time

00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:47.640
 your

00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:48.259
 finances

00:31:48.259 --> 00:31:48.980
 your

00:31:48.980 --> 00:31:49.740
 marriage

00:31:49.740 --> 00:31:50.200
 your

00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:51.039
 vocation

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:51.799
 have you

00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:52.400
 considered

00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:52.840
 those

00:31:52.840 --> 00:31:53.299
 things

00:31:53.299 --> 00:31:53.920
 if you

00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:54.180
 haven't

00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:54.519
 considered

00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:54.880
 deeply

00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:55.220
 how it

00:31:55.220 --> 00:31:55.579
 impacts

00:31:55.579 --> 00:31:55.779
 your

00:31:55.779 --> 00:31:56.259
 parenting

00:31:56.259 --> 00:31:56.640
 or

00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:57.140
 your

00:31:57.140 --> 00:31:57.880
 relationships

00:31:57.880 --> 00:31:58.519
 in every

00:31:58.519 --> 00:31:58.860
 sphere

00:31:58.860 --> 00:31:59.340
 of life

00:31:59.340 --> 00:31:59.900
 perhaps

00:31:59.900 --> 00:32:00.279
 you should

00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:00.680
 jump into

00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:00.900
 one of

00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:01.059
 those

00:32:01.059 --> 00:32:01.299
 Sunday

00:32:01.299 --> 00:32:01.539
 school

00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:01.940
 classes

00:32:01.940 --> 00:32:02.180
 that

00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:02.480
 started

00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:02.700
 this

00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:02.960
 morning

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:03.319
 y'all

00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:03.500
 that's

00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:03.620
 why

00:32:03.620 --> 00:32:03.779
 we

00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:04.059
 have

00:32:04.059 --> 00:32:04.539
 classes

00:32:04.539 --> 00:32:04.900
 like

00:32:04.900 --> 00:32:05.220
 that

00:32:05.220 --> 00:32:05.720
 they

00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:05.819
 don't

00:32:05.819 --> 00:32:05.920
 have

00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:06.000
 to

00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:06.100
 meet

00:32:06.100 --> 00:32:06.200
 at

00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:06.380
 nine

00:32:06.380 --> 00:32:06.640
 o'clock

00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:06.799
 on

00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:07.079
 Sunday

00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:07.360
 morning

00:32:07.360 --> 00:32:07.519
 to

00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:07.640
 do

00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:07.799
 this

00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:07.960
 but

00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:08.559
 that's

00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:08.720
 why

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:08.900
 we

00:32:08.900 --> 00:32:09.100
 have

00:32:09.100 --> 00:32:09.420
 some

00:32:09.420 --> 00:32:09.600
 of

00:32:09.600 --> 00:32:09.740
 them

00:32:09.740 --> 00:32:10.180
 because

00:32:10.180 --> 00:32:10.420
 we

00:32:10.420 --> 00:32:10.620
 need

00:32:10.620 --> 00:32:11.019
 God's

00:32:11.019 --> 00:32:11.279
 word

00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:11.720
 speaking

00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:12.060
 into

00:32:12.060 --> 00:32:12.360
 all

00:32:12.360 --> 00:32:12.500
 of

00:32:12.500 --> 00:32:12.700
 those

00:32:12.700 --> 00:32:13.019
 areas

00:32:13.019 --> 00:32:13.200
 of

00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:13.340
 our

00:32:13.340 --> 00:32:13.720
 life

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:14.680
 and

00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:14.800
 if

00:32:14.800 --> 00:32:14.980
 we

00:32:14.980 --> 00:32:15.220
 don't

00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:15.560
 stop

00:32:15.560 --> 00:32:15.740
 to

00:32:15.740 --> 00:32:16.200
 consider

00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:16.400
 it

00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:16.620
 we'll

00:32:16.620 --> 00:32:16.920
 tend

00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:17.100
 to

00:32:17.100 --> 00:32:17.240
 go

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:17.460
 with

00:32:17.460 --> 00:32:18.039
 whatever

00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:18.320
 we

00:32:18.320 --> 00:32:18.740
 think

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:19.220
 or

00:32:19.220 --> 00:32:19.440
 whatever

00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:19.640
 we

00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:19.900
 happen

00:32:19.900 --> 00:32:20.080
 to

00:32:20.080 --> 00:32:20.300
 hear

00:32:20.300 --> 00:32:20.460
 or

00:32:20.460 --> 00:32:20.700
 scroll

00:32:20.700 --> 00:32:20.880
 through

00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:21.039
 on

00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:21.360
 social

00:32:21.360 --> 00:32:21.660
 media

00:32:21.660 --> 00:32:22.100
 and

00:32:22.100 --> 00:32:22.259
 we

00:32:22.259 --> 00:32:22.440
 want

00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:22.560
 to

00:32:22.560 --> 00:32:22.740
 come

00:32:22.740 --> 00:32:23.039
 together

00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:23.200
 and

00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:23.340
 say

00:32:23.340 --> 00:32:23.640
 how

00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:23.820
 does

00:32:23.820 --> 00:32:24.220
 God's

00:32:24.220 --> 00:32:24.440
 word

00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:24.759
 speak

00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:24.940
 into

00:32:24.940 --> 00:32:25.160
 my

00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:25.440
 life

00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:25.560
 as

00:32:25.560 --> 00:32:25.660
 I

00:32:25.660 --> 00:32:25.820
 try

00:32:25.820 --> 00:32:25.960
 to

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.360
 parent

00:32:26.360 --> 00:32:26.640
 my

00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:26.940
 kids

00:32:26.940 --> 00:32:27.440
 I

00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:27.720
 need

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:28.060
 that

00:32:28.060 --> 00:32:29.720
 we

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:30.039
 need

00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:30.440
 that

00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:32.279
 we

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:32.380
 need

00:32:32.380 --> 00:32:32.500
 to

00:32:32.500 --> 00:32:32.720
 slow

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:33.000
 down

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:33.160
 and

00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:33.559
 hear

00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:34.559
 properly

00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:35.099
 how

00:32:35.099 --> 00:32:35.259
 it

00:32:35.259 --> 00:32:35.619
 speaks

00:32:35.619 --> 00:32:35.819
 and

00:32:35.819 --> 00:32:36.019
 bears

00:32:36.019 --> 00:32:36.420
 fruit

00:32:36.420 --> 00:32:36.619
 in

00:32:36.619 --> 00:32:36.960
 all

00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:37.160
 of

00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:37.619
 life

00:32:37.619 --> 00:32:38.619
 listen

00:32:38.619 --> 00:32:38.779
 I

00:32:38.779 --> 00:32:38.980
 know

00:32:38.980 --> 00:32:39.140
 you

00:32:39.140 --> 00:32:39.380
 hear

00:32:39.380 --> 00:32:39.579
 the

00:32:39.579 --> 00:32:39.759
 word

00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:39.900
 of

00:32:39.900 --> 00:32:40.160
 God

00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:40.440
 some

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:40.740
 because

00:32:40.740 --> 00:32:41.059
 Ron

00:32:41.059 --> 00:32:41.400
 said

00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:41.720
 earlier

00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:42.240
 we're

00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:42.420
 not

00:32:42.420 --> 00:32:42.920
 bashful

00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:43.140
 about

00:32:43.140 --> 00:32:43.319
 the

00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:43.480
 fact

00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:43.619
 that

00:32:43.619 --> 00:32:43.819
 that's

00:32:43.819 --> 00:32:43.900
 what

00:32:43.900 --> 00:32:44.000
 we

00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:44.279
 talk

00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:44.579
 about

00:32:44.579 --> 00:32:44.799
 when

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:44.980
 we

00:32:44.980 --> 00:32:45.519
 gather

00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:45.759
 here

00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:45.880
 and

00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:46.019
 you're

00:32:46.019 --> 00:32:46.180
 here

00:32:46.180 --> 00:32:46.299
 and

00:32:46.299 --> 00:32:46.400
 you

00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:46.619
 hear

00:32:46.619 --> 00:32:46.819
 the

00:32:46.819 --> 00:32:47.000
 word

00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:47.160
 of

00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:47.460
 God

00:32:47.460 --> 00:32:47.819
 some

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:48.059
 but

00:32:48.059 --> 00:32:50.160
 James

00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:50.599
 warns

00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:50.759
 us

00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:51.019
 very

00:32:51.019 --> 00:32:51.740
 specifically

00:32:51.740 --> 00:32:52.079
 in

00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:52.319
 his

00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:52.660
 letter

00:32:52.660 --> 00:32:53.259
 not

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:53.839
 merely

00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:54.140
 to

00:32:54.140 --> 00:32:54.400
 hear

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:54.599
 the

00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:54.799
 word

00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:54.960
 I

00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:55.120
 know

00:32:55.120 --> 00:32:55.400
 at

00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:55.819
 least

00:32:55.819 --> 00:32:56.140
 you're

00:32:56.140 --> 00:32:56.519
 merely

00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:57.039
 hearing

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:57.279
 the

00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:57.640
 word

00:32:57.640 --> 00:32:58.799
 James

00:32:58.799 --> 00:32:59.019
 says

00:32:59.019 --> 00:32:59.319
 don't

00:32:59.319 --> 00:32:59.680
 merely

00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:00.579
 hear

00:33:00.579 --> 00:33:01.380
 and

00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:01.960
 forget

00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:02.299
 what

00:33:02.299 --> 00:33:02.620
 it's

00:33:02.620 --> 00:33:03.039
 shown

00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:03.340
 you

00:33:03.340 --> 00:33:03.779
 about

00:33:03.779 --> 00:33:04.160
 yourself

00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:04.500
 he said

00:33:04.500 --> 00:33:04.900
 that would

00:33:04.900 --> 00:33:05.240
 be so

00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:05.620
 foolish

00:33:05.620 --> 00:33:05.920
 like

00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:06.240
 standing

00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:06.559
 in front

00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:06.819
 of a

00:33:06.819 --> 00:33:07.059
 mirror

00:33:07.059 --> 00:33:07.420
 in the

00:33:07.420 --> 00:33:07.720
 morning

00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:08.460
 and

00:33:08.460 --> 00:33:08.779
 walking

00:33:08.779 --> 00:33:09.019
 away

00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:09.180
 and

00:33:09.180 --> 00:33:09.519
 forgetting

00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:09.840
 what

00:33:09.840 --> 00:33:10.079
 you've

00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:10.340
 seen

00:33:10.340 --> 00:33:10.579
 about

00:33:10.579 --> 00:33:10.779
 your

00:33:10.779 --> 00:33:11.240
 face

00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:12.920
 when

00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:13.079
 you

00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:13.500
 look

00:33:13.500 --> 00:33:13.779
 into

00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:14.380
 God's

00:33:14.380 --> 00:33:14.819
 word

00:33:14.819 --> 00:33:15.500
 sometimes

00:33:15.500 --> 00:33:16.460
 you

00:33:16.460 --> 00:33:16.640
 have

00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:16.759
 to

00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:16.960
 look

00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:17.420
 deeply

00:33:17.420 --> 00:33:17.680
 and

00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:17.940
 hear

00:33:17.940 --> 00:33:18.600
 thoughtfully

00:33:18.600 --> 00:33:19.039
 we

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:19.299
 need

00:33:19.299 --> 00:33:19.620
 to

00:33:19.620 --> 00:33:20.480
 sometimes

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:20.980
 revisit

00:33:20.980 --> 00:33:21.340
 what

00:33:21.340 --> 00:33:21.680
 we've

00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:21.980
 heard

00:33:21.980 --> 00:33:22.240
 or

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:22.880
 read

00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:23.680
 once

00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:24.200
 that's

00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:24.320
 one

00:33:24.320 --> 00:33:24.380
 of

00:33:24.380 --> 00:33:24.480
 the

00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:24.720
 reasons

00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:24.940
 we

00:33:24.940 --> 00:33:25.200
 write

00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:27.080
 to

00:33:27.080 --> 00:33:27.259
 go

00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.440

 it

00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:40.299
 says

00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:41.160
 questions

00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:41.500
 and

00:33:41.500 --> 00:33:41.580
 you

00:33:41.580 --> 00:33:41.680
 don't

00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:41.799
 even

00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:42.900
 group

00:33:42.900 --> 00:33:43.700

 should

00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:46.940
 have

00:33:46.940 --> 00:33:47.640
 questions

00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:47.840
 that

00:33:47.840 --> 00:33:48.000
 say

00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:48.299
 give me

00:33:48.299 --> 00:33:48.440
 a

00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:48.700
 chance

00:33:48.700 --> 00:33:48.900
 to

00:33:48.900 --> 00:33:49.360
 revisit

00:33:49.360 --> 00:33:49.640
 the

 word

00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:50.100
 of

00:33:50.100 --> 00:33:50.460
 God

00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:50.900
 that

00:33:50.900 --> 00:33:51.039
 I

00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:51.299
 heard

00:33:51.299 --> 00:33:51.559
 this

00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:51.860
 morning

00:33:51.860 --> 00:33:52.340
 in

00:33:52.340 --> 00:33:52.820
 particular

00:33:52.820 --> 00:33:53.340
 they're

00:33:53.340 --> 00:33:53.600
 geared

00:33:53.600 --> 00:33:53.960
 towards

00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:54.180
 what

00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:54.340
 does

00:33:54.340 --> 00:33:54.519
 this

00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:54.759
 look

00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:55.000
 like

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:55.140
 in

00:33:55.140 --> 00:33:55.340
 my

00:33:55.340 --> 00:33:55.779
 life

00:33:55.779 --> 00:33:56.920
 they're

00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:57.019
 not

00:33:57.019 --> 00:33:57.400
 magical

00:33:57.400 --> 00:33:57.940
 questions

00:33:57.940 --> 00:33:58.160
 they're

00:33:58.160 --> 00:33:58.519
 questions

00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:58.900
 to help

00:33:58.900 --> 00:33:59.059
 you

00:33:59.059 --> 00:33:59.299
 slow

00:33:59.299 --> 00:33:59.519
 down

00:33:59.519 --> 00:33:59.680
 and

00:33:59.680 --> 00:33:59.960
 think

00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:00.440
 what

00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:00.580
 does

00:34:00.580 --> 00:34:00.740
 it

00:34:00.740 --> 00:34:01.000
 mean

00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:01.200
 in

00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:01.860
 my

00:34:01.860 --> 00:34:02.320
 life

00:34:02.320 --> 00:34:02.960
 some

00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:03.080
 of

00:34:03.080 --> 00:34:03.220
 your

00:34:03.220 --> 00:34:03.480
 groups

00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:03.799
 talk

00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:04.080
 about

00:34:04.080 --> 00:34:04.240
 them

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:04.900
 together

00:34:04.900 --> 00:34:05.519
 slow

00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:06.019
 down

00:34:06.019 --> 00:34:07.200
 and

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:07.799
 listen

00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:09.300
 and

00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:09.880
 trust

00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:10.159
 the

00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:10.500
 loving

00:34:10.500 --> 00:34:11.000
 father

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:11.380
 who's

00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:12.119
 speaking

00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:12.480
 to

00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:12.699
 you

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:13.199
 ask

00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:13.400
 him

00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:13.579
 to

00:34:13.579 --> 00:34:14.159
 transform

00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:14.699
 you

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:15.340
 according

00:34:15.340 --> 00:34:15.820
 to

00:34:15.820 --> 00:34:16.500
 his

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:17.000
 word

00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:18.179
 see

00:34:18.179 --> 00:34:18.480
 that's

00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:18.780
 actually

00:34:18.780 --> 00:34:19.000
 the

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:19.380
 hope

00:34:19.380 --> 00:34:20.099
 for

00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:20.539
 struggling

00:34:20.539 --> 00:34:21.079
 hearers

00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:21.199
 in

00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:21.360
 this

00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:21.880
 passage

00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:23.759
 the

00:34:23.759 --> 00:34:24.079
 parable

00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:24.239
 of

00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:24.400
 the

00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:24.619
 sower

00:34:24.619 --> 00:34:24.940
 does

00:34:24.940 --> 00:34:25.400
 challenge

00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.599
 us

00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:25.759
 to

00:34:25.759 --> 00:34:26.159
 consider

00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:26.400
 what

00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:26.719
 type

00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:26.920
 of

00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:27.259
 soil

00:34:27.259 --> 00:34:27.559
 we

00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:27.840
 are

00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:28.739
 how

00:34:28.739 --> 00:34:29.179
 our

00:34:29.179 --> 00:34:29.820
 hearing

00:34:29.820 --> 00:34:30.559
 is

00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:30.820
 how

00:34:30.820 --> 00:34:31.079
 we're

00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:31.480
 doing

00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:31.860
 with

00:34:31.860 --> 00:34:32.280
 that

00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:33.460
 but

00:34:33.460 --> 00:34:33.599
 if

00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:33.719
 you

00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:33.960
 think

00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:34.179
 about

00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:34.380
 the

00:34:34.380 --> 00:34:34.940
 agricultural

00:34:34.940 --> 00:34:35.480
 picture

00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:35.860
 Jesus

00:34:35.860 --> 00:34:36.159
 has

00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:36.599
 painted

00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:37.219
 the

00:34:37.219 --> 00:34:37.559
 soil

00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:37.800
 is

00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:38.039
 not

00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:38.219
 the

00:34:38.219 --> 00:34:38.460
 thing

00:34:38.460 --> 00:34:38.639
 with

00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:38.780
 the

00:34:38.780 --> 00:34:39.039
 power

00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:39.240
 to

00:34:39.240 --> 00:34:39.579
 produce

00:34:39.579 --> 00:34:39.780
 the

00:34:39.780 --> 00:34:40.000
 fruit

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:40.199
 is

00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:40.380
 it

00:34:40.380 --> 00:34:41.760
 you

00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:41.860
 ever

00:34:41.860 --> 00:34:42.059
 seen

00:34:42.059 --> 00:34:42.360
 soil

00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:42.559
 just

00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:42.719
 go

00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:42.920
 around

00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:43.039
 and

00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:43.199
 start

00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:43.460
 bearing

00:34:43.460 --> 00:34:43.820
 fruit

00:34:43.820 --> 00:34:44.039
 on

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:44.179
 its

00:34:44.179 --> 00:34:44.400
 own

00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:46.340
 no

00:34:46.340 --> 00:34:47.860
 where's

00:34:47.860 --> 00:34:47.980
 the

00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:48.360
 power

00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:48.820
 coming

00:34:48.820 --> 00:34:49.300
 from

00:34:49.300 --> 00:34:50.099
 it's

00:34:50.099 --> 00:34:50.280
 from

00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:50.500
 the

00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:50.880
 seed

00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:51.240
 right

00:34:51.240 --> 00:34:51.800
 that's

00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:51.920
 what

00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:52.360
 produces

00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:52.639
 the

00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:52.860
 fruit

00:34:52.860 --> 00:34:53.300
 the

00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:53.719
 seed

00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:53.900
 is

00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:54.099
 the

00:34:54.099 --> 00:34:54.539
 source

00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:54.719
 of

00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:54.860
 the

00:34:54.860 --> 00:34:55.300
 growth

00:34:55.300 --> 00:34:55.760
 the

00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:56.119
 seed

00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:56.420
 Jesus

00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:56.760
 says

00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:56.980
 is

00:34:56.980 --> 00:34:57.219
 the

00:34:57.219 --> 00:34:57.619
 word

00:34:57.619 --> 00:34:58.099
 of

00:34:58.099 --> 00:34:58.599
 God

00:34:58.599 --> 00:34:59.199
 his

00:34:59.199 --> 00:34:59.820
 gospel

00:34:59.820 --> 00:35:00.519
 plowed

00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:00.900
 deep

00:35:00.900 --> 00:35:01.099
 into

00:35:01.099 --> 00:35:01.360
 our

00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:01.679
 hearts

00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:01.940
 by

00:35:01.940 --> 00:35:02.219
 his

00:35:02.219 --> 00:35:02.659
 spirit

00:35:02.659 --> 00:35:03.339
 that

00:35:03.339 --> 00:35:03.679
 has

00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:03.919
 in

00:35:03.919 --> 00:35:04.519
 itself

00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:05.079
 the

00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:05.779
 power

00:35:05.779 --> 00:35:06.739
 the

00:35:06.739 --> 00:35:07.339
 potential

00:35:07.339 --> 00:35:07.739
 for

00:35:07.739 --> 00:35:08.319
 producing

00:35:08.319 --> 00:35:09.399
 fruit

00:35:09.399 --> 00:35:10.659
 that's

00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:10.859
 why

00:35:10.859 --> 00:35:11.239
 Jesus

00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:11.679
 urges

00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:11.940
 us

00:35:11.940 --> 00:35:12.119
 to

00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:12.480
 hear

00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:12.699
 it

00:35:12.699 --> 00:35:13.500
 well

00:35:13.500 --> 00:35:15.059
 not

00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:15.319
 because

00:35:15.319 --> 00:35:15.519
 the

00:37:12.139 --> 00:37:13.539
 fosters our

00:37:13.539 --> 00:37:14.280
 relationship

00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:15.240
 with Jesus

00:37:15.240 --> 00:37:16.800
 where we're

00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:17.619
 his mothers

00:37:17.619 --> 00:37:18.280
 and his

00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:19.019
 brothers

00:37:19.019 --> 00:37:21.599
 it transforms

00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:22.519
 us into

00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:23.219
 the fruitful

00:37:23.219 --> 00:37:24.099
 followers of

00:37:24.099 --> 00:37:24.480
 Jesus

00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:25.320
 that he's

00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:25.880
 called us

00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:26.360
 to be

00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:27.940
 we hear our

00:37:27.940 --> 00:37:28.860
 father speak

00:37:28.860 --> 00:37:31.539
 listen if you're

00:37:31.539 --> 00:37:32.320
 struggling to

00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:33.139
 hear if you

00:37:33.139 --> 00:37:33.980
 if you realize

00:37:33.980 --> 00:37:34.759
 this morning

00:37:34.759 --> 00:37:35.239
 that maybe you

00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:35.960
 don't hear

00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:36.440
 God's word

00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:37.119
 enough or you

00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:37.840
 certainly don't

00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:38.460
 hear it

00:37:38.460 --> 00:37:40.539
 as he intends

00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:41.179
 for you to

00:37:41.179 --> 00:37:42.280
 if you're not

00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:43.039
 seeing the

00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:44.159
 fruit of the

00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:44.940
 word in your

00:37:44.940 --> 00:37:45.960
 heart and in

00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:46.559
 your life

00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:47.880
 don't focus

00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:48.860
 on the fruit

00:37:48.860 --> 00:37:51.079
 don't focus

00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:52.120
 on the fruit

00:37:52.120 --> 00:37:53.180
 go back

00:37:53.180 --> 00:37:54.620
 to Jesus

00:37:54.620 --> 00:37:55.599
 himself

00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:56.460
 the vine

00:37:56.460 --> 00:37:58.940
 remember

00:37:58.940 --> 00:37:59.680
 dwell on

00:37:59.680 --> 00:38:00.860
 his love

00:38:00.860 --> 00:38:01.640
 for you

00:38:01.640 --> 00:38:02.579
 Jesus says

00:38:02.579 --> 00:38:03.440
 if you abide

00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:04.160
 in me

00:38:04.160 --> 00:38:05.340
 and I in

00:38:05.340 --> 00:38:05.660
 you

00:38:05.660 --> 00:38:06.460
 you will

00:38:06.460 --> 00:38:06.900
 bear

00:38:06.900 --> 00:38:07.680
 much

00:38:07.680 --> 00:38:08.700
 fruit

00:38:08.700 --> 00:38:09.920
 focus there

00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:10.559
 on him

00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:12.340
 soak in

00:38:12.340 --> 00:38:12.920
 the word

00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:13.960
 until you

00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:14.460
 see

00:38:14.460 --> 00:38:15.280
 Jesus

00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:16.440
 pray that

00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:16.780
 God would

00:38:16.780 --> 00:38:17.260
 show you

00:38:17.260 --> 00:38:18.360
 the glory

00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:18.920
 of his

00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:19.480
 grace

00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:20.400
 in Jesus

00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:20.840
 as he

00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:21.700
 speaks to

00:38:21.700 --> 00:38:21.800
 you

00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:22.079
 it's what

00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:22.460
 he wants

00:38:22.460 --> 00:38:22.740
 you to

00:38:22.740 --> 00:38:23.000
 hear

00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:23.519
 he loves

00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:23.780
 you and

00:38:23.780 --> 00:38:24.059
 he's written

00:38:24.059 --> 00:38:24.480
 you a letter

00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:25.059
 about it

00:38:25.059 --> 00:38:25.820
 he wants you

00:38:25.820 --> 00:38:26.340
 to hear of

00:38:26.340 --> 00:38:26.700
 his love

00:38:26.700 --> 00:38:27.140
 for you

00:38:27.140 --> 00:38:27.920
 in Jesus

00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:28.780
 offer yourself

00:38:28.780 --> 00:38:29.440
 to him

00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:30.820
 as soil

00:38:30.820 --> 00:38:31.599
 where he

00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:32.840
 through the

00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:33.539
 power of

00:38:33.539 --> 00:38:34.260
 his word

00:38:34.260 --> 00:38:35.120
 not your

00:38:35.120 --> 00:38:35.660
 efforts

00:38:35.660 --> 00:38:36.840
 can produce

00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:37.820
 much

00:38:37.820 --> 00:38:38.800
 fruit

00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:40.039
 let's pray

00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:40.400
 that he would

00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:40.700
 do that

00:38:40.700 --> 00:38:40.980
 in our

00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:41.340
 hearts

00:38:41.340 --> 00:38:46.220
 father

00:38:46.220 --> 00:38:46.240
 father

00:38:46.240 --> 00:38:46.820

00:38:46.820 --> 00:38:47.720
 spoken

00:38:47.720 --> 00:38:49.960
 in your

00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:50.380
 word

00:38:50.380 --> 00:38:51.600
 you have

00:38:51.600 --> 00:38:52.220
 spoken

00:38:52.220 --> 00:38:53.160
 through your

00:38:53.160 --> 00:38:53.900
 spirit

00:38:53.900 --> 00:38:57.180
 you're the

00:38:57.180 --> 00:38:57.480
 one who

00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:58.059
 gives ears

00:38:58.059 --> 00:38:58.559
 to hear

00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:02.940
 we need

00:39:02.940 --> 00:39:03.240
 them

00:39:03.240 --> 00:39:05.400
 make us

00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:05.840
 people

00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:07.079
 who hear

00:39:07.079 --> 00:39:07.519
 you

00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:09.320
 who hear

00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:09.900
 your voice

00:39:09.900 --> 00:39:10.820
 clearly

00:39:10.820 --> 00:39:11.639
 through all

00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:11.940
 the other

00:39:11.940 --> 00:39:12.500
 noise

00:39:12.500 --> 00:39:13.259
 around us

00:39:13.259 --> 00:39:14.000
 that would

00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:14.380
 tell us

00:39:14.380 --> 00:39:15.280
 other things

00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.239

 offer us

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:17.940
 hope in

00:39:17.940 --> 00:39:18.780

 tell us

00:39:20.659 --> 00:39:21.400
 the great

00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:22.019
 value of

00:39:22.019 --> 00:39:22.639
 other

00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:23.539
 alternatives

00:39:23.539 --> 00:39:26.780
