00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.799
 you're going to be working hard this morning you'll need your Bible there'll be different

00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:15.320
 parts we'll be looking to because this morning we started a new series which we're calling

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:24.019
 Living Church and for the next eight weeks we're going to take a look at one aspect of church life

00:00:24.019 --> 00:00:30.719
 that specifically relates to our gathering on a Sunday morning so when we meet together like this

00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:36.500
 there are certain things that we do together at this stage they might be habit to you so when we

00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:42.859
 come together we we do things like we sing we read the Bible we pray we have tea and coffee

00:00:42.859 --> 00:00:49.679
 and we share communion and we listen to a talk from the Bible and it's easy as we come along week by

00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:56.259
 week just to fall into a pattern and a habit and just almost go through the motions and not

00:00:56.259 --> 00:01:03.619
 understand why we do what we do so why do we sing and why do we share why do we do these things together

00:01:03.619 --> 00:01:09.560
 and so to help us get the most out of our Sunday morning gatherings we're going to look at one

00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:16.439
 aspect each week and see why we do what we do and today we're going to start which with what I think

00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:23.939
 is the most important which is hearing God's word the sermon that's the bit that we're doing right now

00:01:23.939 --> 00:01:28.400
 but before we do that we're going to pray

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:34.140
 let's pray together

00:01:34.140 --> 00:01:43.319
 this comes from Isaiah 55

00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:51.839
 as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to it without watering the earth

00:01:51.839 --> 00:01:59.419
 and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater

00:01:59.419 --> 00:02:04.959
 so is my word that goes out from my mouth

00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:16.739
 it will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it

00:02:16.739 --> 00:02:20.500
 father as we hear your word

00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:23.959
 may it achieve your purpose

00:02:23.959 --> 00:02:27.680
 and may it accomplish in our lives

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:32.200
 only what is good for us

00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:33.879
 may it lead us towards Christ

00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.460
 and may it

00:02:36.460 --> 00:02:39.379
 make us more like Christ

00:02:39.379 --> 00:02:43.680
 amen

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.760
 well go to 2 Timothy then

00:02:48.760 --> 00:02:51.400
 and we'll look at that passage together

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.120
 you'll see from our text

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.659
 that hearing God's word is central

00:02:56.659 --> 00:02:59.099
 to the gathering of God's people

00:02:59.099 --> 00:03:01.480
 look at chapter 4 verse 1

00:03:01.480 --> 00:03:05.620
 in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus

00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:08.259
 so it's not just us who are here

00:03:08.259 --> 00:03:12.980
 in the presence of God and Christ Jesus who are here with us

00:03:12.980 --> 00:03:15.340
 who will judge the living and the dead

00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:19.280
 and in view of his appearing and his kingdom

00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.180
 I give you this charge

00:03:21.180 --> 00:03:23.460
 preach the word

00:03:23.460 --> 00:03:30.599
 this is Paul's final letter that we know of to a young man called Timothy

00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:36.039
 and Timothy has the responsibility of looking after a church in Ephesus

00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.159
 and his last instruction

00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.560
 his last big command to Timothy

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.360
 in his last letter is crystal clear

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:46.800
 in verse 2

00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.360
 I give you this charge

00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.840
 preach the word

00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.680
 be prepared in season and out of season

00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.060
 correct, rebuke and encourage

00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:02.140
 with great patience and careful instruction

00:04:02.140 --> 00:04:05.939
 this is his last instruction

00:04:05.939 --> 00:04:09.939
 and it is central to the life of this church

00:04:09.939 --> 00:04:11.979
 until the Lord Jesus

00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:13.659
 should return

00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:19.160
 it doesn't inform us that we should be serving tea and coffee

00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.660
 it doesn't say that we should sing

00:04:21.660 --> 00:04:23.339
 or that we should play music

00:04:23.339 --> 00:04:24.500
 or that we should pray

00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:26.259
 not that any of those things are wrong

00:04:26.259 --> 00:04:28.139
 we are simply reminded

00:04:28.139 --> 00:04:31.519
 to make God's word central

00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.459
 Paul has already made this clear to Timothy

00:04:34.459 --> 00:04:36.300
 you can look at his first letter

00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:37.980
 just back a couple of pages

00:04:37.980 --> 00:04:39.000
 chapter 4

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:40.900
 of 1 Timothy

00:04:40.900 --> 00:04:44.259
 and verse 13

00:04:44.259 --> 00:04:50.139
 where he encourages him

00:04:50.139 --> 00:04:50.960
 again

00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:52.500
 verse 13 of chapter 4

00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:53.600
 until I come

00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:54.699
 devote yourself

00:04:54.699 --> 00:04:56.819
 to the public reading

00:04:56.819 --> 00:04:57.720
 of scripture

00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.100
 to preaching

00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:00.160
 and to teaching

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.620
 do not neglect

00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:02.660
 your gift

00:05:02.660 --> 00:05:04.160
 which was given to you

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:05.980
 verse 15

00:05:05.980 --> 00:05:06.939
 be diligent

00:05:06.939 --> 00:05:09.320
 in these matters

00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:10.420
 give yourself

00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:11.380
 wholly

00:05:11.380 --> 00:05:12.520
 to them

00:05:12.520 --> 00:05:14.280
 in fact

00:05:14.280 --> 00:05:15.520
 he is to teach

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:16.660
 this word of God

00:05:16.660 --> 00:05:17.540
 to others

00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:19.100
 to make sure

00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:19.980
 that God's word

00:05:19.980 --> 00:05:21.660
 is continually taught

00:05:21.660 --> 00:05:22.980
 so in 2 Timothy

00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:24.500
 chapter 2

00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:26.420
 and verse 1

00:05:26.420 --> 00:05:28.760
 it says

00:05:28.760 --> 00:05:29.840
 you then my son

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:30.640
 be strong

00:05:30.640 --> 00:05:31.300
 in the grace

00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:32.680
 that is in Christ Jesus

00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:34.019
 and the things

00:05:34.019 --> 00:05:35.720
 that you have heard me say

00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:36.400
 in the presence

00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:37.540
 of many witnesses

00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:40.180
 entrust to reliable men

00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:42.259
 who will also be qualified

00:05:42.259 --> 00:05:44.079
 to teach others

00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:45.420
 God has clearly

00:05:45.420 --> 00:05:46.400
 gifted

00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:47.939
 those within his church

00:05:47.939 --> 00:05:49.000
 who are able

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:49.920
 to teach

00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:51.060
 God's word

00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:52.660
 so that God's word

00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:53.899
 remains central

00:05:53.899 --> 00:05:55.019
 to the gathering

00:05:55.019 --> 00:05:56.399
 of his people

00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:57.960
 and as we'll see

00:05:57.960 --> 00:05:58.759
 through our study

00:05:58.759 --> 00:05:59.460
 this morning

00:05:59.460 --> 00:06:00.980
 it is crucial

00:06:00.980 --> 00:06:01.900
 to the growing

00:06:01.900 --> 00:06:02.740
 and the building

00:06:02.740 --> 00:06:04.020
 up of God's church

00:06:04.020 --> 00:06:06.120
 now this may be

00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:07.040
 nothing new to you

00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.439
 and I hope it's not new

00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:10.480
 however there is a danger

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:11.560
 that God's word

00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:12.720
 can very easily

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.120
 become sidelined

00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.980
 have a look at

00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:18.819
 2 Timothy chapter 4

00:06:18.819 --> 00:06:20.860
 back to our text

00:06:20.860 --> 00:06:22.980
 and verse 3

00:06:22.980 --> 00:06:27.879
 he's reminding him

00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:28.840
 to preach the word

00:06:28.840 --> 00:06:29.879
 to keep it central

00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:30.700
 because

00:06:30.700 --> 00:06:31.660
 verse 3

00:06:31.660 --> 00:06:33.300
 the time will come

00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:34.080
 when people

00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:35.080
 will not put up

00:06:35.080 --> 00:06:36.200
 with sound doctrine

00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:37.939
 instead to suit

00:06:37.939 --> 00:06:38.900
 their own desires

00:06:38.900 --> 00:06:39.640
 they will gather

00:06:39.640 --> 00:06:40.259
 around them

00:06:40.259 --> 00:06:41.020
 a great number

00:06:41.020 --> 00:06:41.580
 of teachers

00:06:41.580 --> 00:06:42.780
 to say what

00:06:42.780 --> 00:06:43.960
 their itching ears

00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:44.740
 want to hear

00:06:44.740 --> 00:06:46.280
 they will turn

00:06:46.280 --> 00:06:47.140
 their ears away

00:06:47.140 --> 00:06:47.960
 from the truth

00:06:47.960 --> 00:06:49.720
 and turn aside

00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:50.900
 to myths

00:06:50.899 --> 00:06:52.879
 you see

00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:53.719
 rather than hear

00:06:53.719 --> 00:06:54.339
 what God

00:06:54.339 --> 00:06:55.099
 has to say

00:06:55.099 --> 00:06:57.139
 we prefer to hear

00:06:57.139 --> 00:06:57.719
 what others

00:06:57.719 --> 00:06:58.439
 have to say

00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.159
 our natural

00:07:00.159 --> 00:07:01.319
 hearing desire

00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:02.699
 our ears

00:07:02.699 --> 00:07:03.739
 are tuned

00:07:03.739 --> 00:07:05.359
 not to hear

00:07:05.359 --> 00:07:06.259
 God's truth

00:07:06.259 --> 00:07:07.659
 but to hear

00:07:07.659 --> 00:07:08.500
 what we want

00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:09.019
 to hear

00:07:09.019 --> 00:07:10.839
 so you can see

00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:11.659
 how easily

00:07:11.659 --> 00:07:12.259
 it would be

00:07:12.259 --> 00:07:13.139
 for God's word

00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:13.819
 to get pushed

00:07:13.819 --> 00:07:14.620
 to one side

00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:15.779
 and it happens

00:07:15.779 --> 00:07:16.579
 all the time

00:07:16.579 --> 00:07:18.719
 I listened to

00:07:18.719 --> 00:07:19.680
 a man called

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:20.819
 Joel Osteen

00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:21.419
 recently

00:07:21.419 --> 00:07:22.560
 he's pastor

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:23.319
 of one of the

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:24.399
 largest churches

00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:25.219
 in America

00:07:25.219 --> 00:07:26.719
 over 10,000 people

00:07:26.719 --> 00:07:28.139
 in his church

00:07:28.139 --> 00:07:29.500
 and he's the most

00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:30.360
 watched on the

00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:30.979
 God channel

00:07:30.979 --> 00:07:32.560
 and at the beginning

00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.039
 of his talks

00:07:34.039 --> 00:07:34.779
 he holds up

00:07:34.779 --> 00:07:35.360
 his bible

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:36.339
 in front of

00:07:36.339 --> 00:07:37.339
 the congregation

00:07:37.339 --> 00:07:38.419
 and they all

00:07:38.419 --> 00:07:39.500
 repeat after him

00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:40.779
 in a very proud way

00:07:40.779 --> 00:07:41.719
 that the bible

00:07:41.719 --> 00:07:42.839
 is the word

00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:43.379
 of God

00:07:43.379 --> 00:07:45.060
 and they all

00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:45.939
 repeat after him

00:07:45.939 --> 00:07:46.399
 and they all

00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.019
 say how it's

00:07:47.019 --> 00:07:47.519
 the truth

00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:48.279
 and how it

00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:48.560
 should be

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:49.199
 listened to

00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:50.980
 then he puts

00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:51.519
 it down

00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:52.560
 and then he

00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:53.300
 closes it

00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:54.120
 and then he

00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:54.839
 begins to speak

00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:55.240
 to people

00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:55.620
 about how

00:07:55.620 --> 00:07:56.100
 they can have

00:07:56.100 --> 00:07:56.659
 a better

00:07:56.659 --> 00:07:57.579
 and a more

00:07:57.579 --> 00:07:58.620
 successful life

00:07:58.620 --> 00:07:59.319
 how they can

00:07:59.319 --> 00:07:59.959
 be healthy

00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:00.920
 and wealthy

00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.180
 he's teaching

00:08:04.180 --> 00:08:05.360
 what their

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.719
 itching ears

00:08:06.719 --> 00:08:07.379
 want them

00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:08.100
 to teach

00:08:08.100 --> 00:08:10.379
 the problem

00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:11.019
 is they're not

00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:12.259
 hearing God's

00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:12.659
 word

00:08:12.660 --> 00:08:14.000
 they are

00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:14.380
 hearing

00:08:14.380 --> 00:08:14.780
 Joel

00:08:14.780 --> 00:08:15.600
 Osteen's

00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:16.040
 words

00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:17.920
 but we

00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.280
 don't have

00:08:18.280 --> 00:08:18.640
 to turn

00:08:18.640 --> 00:08:18.939
 on the

00:08:18.939 --> 00:08:19.240
 telly

00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:19.560
 or go

00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:19.980
 to another

00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:20.460
 country

00:08:20.460 --> 00:08:21.480
 I attended

00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:21.980
 a church

00:08:21.980 --> 00:08:22.380
 service

00:08:22.380 --> 00:08:22.840
 here

00:08:22.840 --> 00:08:23.439
 not too

00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:24.240
 long ago

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:24.980
 not in

00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:25.440
 this church

00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:26.120
 somewhere else

00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:27.500
 and part way

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:27.960
 through it

00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:28.440
 was announced

00:08:28.440 --> 00:08:28.940
 that we were

00:08:28.940 --> 00:08:29.500
 now going

00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:29.879
 to have

00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:30.480
 the sermon

00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.040
 and everything

00:08:33.040 --> 00:08:33.500
 they said

00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:34.240
 was very nice

00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:34.700
 it was even

00:08:34.700 --> 00:08:35.540
 quite funny

00:08:35.540 --> 00:08:37.759
 but not once

00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:38.320
 did they

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:39.259
 read from

00:08:39.259 --> 00:08:39.800
 the bible

00:08:39.800 --> 00:08:40.920
 and not once

00:08:40.920 --> 00:08:41.560
 did they even

00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:42.620
 refer to the

00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:42.940
 bible

00:08:42.940 --> 00:08:44.539
 we didn't

00:08:44.539 --> 00:08:45.120
 hear

00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:46.480
 god's word

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:46.980
 we heard

00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:47.779
 the thoughts

00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:49.279
 of somebody

00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:49.720
 else

00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.019
 so as a

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:52.399
 church

00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:53.039
 we make

00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:53.659
 the sermon

00:08:53.659 --> 00:08:54.580
 the bible

00:08:54.580 --> 00:08:55.080
 talk

00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:55.940
 the main

00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:56.720
 part of

00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:57.500
 our gathering

00:08:57.500 --> 00:08:59.080
 because our

00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:00.019
 desire is

00:09:00.019 --> 00:09:00.720
 to hear

00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:02.279
 what god's

00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:02.820
 word has

00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:03.320
 to say

00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:04.200
 not what

00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:04.840
 others have

 is that what's

00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:40.919
 happening

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.959

00:10:45.939 --> 00:10:46.939
 today

00:10:46.939 --> 00:10:48.839
 well the answer

00:10:48.839 --> 00:10:49.699
 comes in that

00:10:49.699 --> 00:10:50.639
 little phrase at

00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:51.500
 the beginning of

00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:52.500
 chapter 3

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:53.879
 verse 16

00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:54.580
 of 2

00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:55.059
 timothy

00:10:55.059 --> 00:10:57.659
 do you see

00:10:57.659 --> 00:10:57.940
 it there

00:10:57.940 --> 00:10:58.720
 verse 16

00:10:58.720 --> 00:10:59.500
 he says

00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:00.740
 all scripture

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:02.639
 is god

00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:03.740
 breathed

00:11:03.740 --> 00:11:07.139
 scripture is

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:07.740
 the bible

00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:08.519
 the book

00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:09.100
 we're reading

00:11:09.100 --> 00:11:09.840
 from right

00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:10.220
 now

00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:11.379
 but what

00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:11.840
 makes it

00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:12.480
 different to

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:13.000
 every other

00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:13.740
 book is it

00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:14.240
 is god

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.220
 breathed

00:11:15.220 --> 00:11:16.800
 that means

00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:17.519
 that the

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.019
 bible

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:18.980
 is god's

00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:19.980
 spoken word

00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:21.879
 written down

00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:23.300
 through human

00:11:23.300 --> 00:11:23.779
 authors

00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:26.060
 so when we're

00:11:26.060 --> 00:11:26.960
 teaching god's

00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:27.500
 word we're

00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:28.440
 also hearing

00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:29.320
 god's word

00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.379
 peter adam

00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:32.100
 who wrote a

00:11:32.100 --> 00:11:32.620
 book about

00:11:32.620 --> 00:11:33.480
 this whole

00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:34.639
 subject explains

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:35.080
 it very

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:35.660
 helpfully

00:11:35.660 --> 00:11:36.960
 like this

00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.080
 it's on the

00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:39.500
 screen

00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:40.540
 god speaks

00:11:40.540 --> 00:11:41.019
 to us

00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:41.540
 today

00:11:41.539 --> 00:11:43.219
 by the

00:11:43.219 --> 00:11:43.839
 words he

00:11:43.839 --> 00:11:44.980
 spoke long

00:11:44.980 --> 00:11:45.579
 ago to

00:11:45.579 --> 00:11:46.059
 them

00:11:46.059 --> 00:11:46.959
 that's the

00:11:46.959 --> 00:11:47.480
 prophets

00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.120
 for us

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:51.319
 so that

00:11:51.319 --> 00:11:51.980
 scripture

00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:53.079
 is god's

00:11:53.079 --> 00:11:53.759
 contemporary

00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:54.360
 word

00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:55.719
 for us

00:11:55.719 --> 00:11:56.339
 today

00:11:56.339 --> 00:11:59.659
 when we

00:11:59.659 --> 00:12:00.439
 open up the

00:12:00.439 --> 00:12:00.799
 bible

00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:01.439
 when it is

00:12:01.439 --> 00:12:02.159
 read and

00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:02.679
 when it is

00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:03.339
 taught we

00:12:03.339 --> 00:12:04.219
 are hearing

00:12:04.219 --> 00:12:05.899
 god speak

00:12:05.899 --> 00:12:06.579
 to us

00:12:06.580 --> 00:12:08.940
 we can

00:12:08.940 --> 00:12:09.320
 break it

00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:09.820
 down very

00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:10.500
 simply like

00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:10.940
 this in

00:12:10.940 --> 00:12:11.759
 three ways

00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:12.620
 first god's

00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:13.460
 word spoken

00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:15.259
 the very

00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:15.920
 first book

00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:16.820
 of the bible

00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:17.920
 introduces us

00:12:17.920 --> 00:12:18.460
 to a god

00:12:18.460 --> 00:12:19.280
 who speaks

00:12:19.280 --> 00:12:21.100
 in genesis

00:12:21.100 --> 00:12:21.920
 we read all

00:12:21.920 --> 00:12:22.420
 about that

00:12:22.420 --> 00:12:22.840
 but more

00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:23.480
 importantly

00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:24.500
 when god

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:25.200
 speaks

00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:26.440
 he acts

00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:27.139
 something

00:12:27.139 --> 00:12:27.780
 happens

00:12:27.780 --> 00:12:28.340
 when he

00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:28.860
 speaks

00:12:28.860 --> 00:12:30.440
 so we

00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:30.840
 have this

00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:31.300
 repeated

00:12:31.300 --> 00:12:31.820
 phrase

00:12:31.820 --> 00:12:32.200
 throughout

00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:32.680
 genesis

00:12:32.680 --> 00:12:33.080
 1

00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:34.040
 and god

00:12:34.040 --> 00:12:34.580
 said

00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:35.560
 and it

00:12:35.560 --> 00:12:36.080
 was so

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:36.660
 god

00:12:36.660 --> 00:12:37.040
 said

00:12:37.040 --> 00:12:37.379
 let there

00:12:37.379 --> 00:12:37.500
 be

00:12:37.500 --> 00:12:37.740
 light

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.139
 and there

00:12:38.139 --> 00:12:38.460
 was

00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:38.740
 light

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:39.040
 god

00:12:39.040 --> 00:12:39.560
 speaks

00:12:39.560 --> 00:12:39.800
 and

00:12:39.800 --> 00:12:40.120
 something

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:40.740
 happens

00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:42.600
 john

00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:42.960
 stott

00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.280
 another

00:12:43.280 --> 00:12:43.900
 well-known

00:12:43.900 --> 00:12:44.680
 speaker

00:12:44.680 --> 00:12:45.100
 and author

00:12:45.100 --> 00:12:45.740
 makes this

00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:46.320
 helpful

00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:46.800
 comment

00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:47.120
 again

00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:47.400
 it's

00:12:47.400 --> 00:12:47.759
 on the

00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:48.120
 screen

00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:48.580
 for you

00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:49.800
 god

00:12:49.800 --> 00:12:50.360
 preaches

00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:51.980
 and the

00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:52.360
 world

00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:53.160
 was made

00:12:53.160 --> 00:12:54.700
 the word

00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:55.080
 of god

00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:55.900
 is proclaimed

00:12:55.900 --> 00:12:57.000

00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:57.460
 pulpit

00:12:57.460 --> 00:12:58.440
 and all

00:12:58.440 --> 00:12:59.080
 comes to

00:12:59.080 --> 00:12:59.600
 pass

00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:01.259
 the preaching

00:13:01.259 --> 00:13:02.040
 forms

00:13:02.040 --> 00:13:02.980
 the universe

00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:04.460
 the word

00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:05.000
 preached

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:05.500
 is no

00:13:05.500 --> 00:13:06.000
 empty

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:06.460
 word

00:13:06.460 --> 00:13:07.080
 it

00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:07.659
 accomplish

00:13:07.659 --> 00:13:08.240
 what

00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:08.419
 it

00:13:08.419 --> 00:13:08.940
 pleases

00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:10.059
 and never

00:13:10.059 --> 00:13:10.580
 returns

00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:11.059
 void

00:13:11.059 --> 00:13:11.860
 to him

00:13:11.860 --> 00:13:12.679
 who

00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:13.360
 speaks

00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.700
 so

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:16.039
 throughout

00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:16.639
 the bible

00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:16.899
 we're

00:13:16.899 --> 00:13:17.259
 introduced

00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:17.700
 to a

00:13:17.700 --> 00:13:17.879
 god

00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:18.039
 who

00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:18.360
 speaks

00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:18.960
 nearly

00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:19.860
 four thousand

00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:20.460
 times

00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:21.039
 it says

00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:21.840
 and god

00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:22.200
 said

00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:22.659
 or the

00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:22.899
 lord

00:13:22.899 --> 00:13:23.240
 said

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:23.740
 or something

00:13:23.740 --> 00:13:24.559
 similar

00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:25.419
 throughout

00:13:25.419 --> 00:13:26.039
 the bible

00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:27.419
 he is a

00:13:27.419 --> 00:13:27.919
 speaking

00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:28.419
 god

00:13:28.419 --> 00:13:29.019
 and when

00:13:29.019 --> 00:13:29.639
 he speaks

00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:30.340
 things

00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:30.759
 happen

00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:31.500
 his words

00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:32.779
 are powerful

00:13:32.779 --> 00:13:34.279
 and effective

00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:37.639
 but second

00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:38.139
 god's

00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:38.679
 word

00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:39.299
 is written

00:13:39.299 --> 00:13:39.860
 he's not

00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:40.699
 only spoken

00:13:40.699 --> 00:13:41.480
 his word

00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:42.679
 but his

00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:43.419
 words are

00:13:43.419 --> 00:13:44.079
 written for

00:13:44.079 --> 00:13:44.819
 us today

00:13:44.819 --> 00:13:46.539
 people were

00:13:46.539 --> 00:13:47.559
 told to

00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:48.139
 write down

00:13:48.139 --> 00:13:48.860
 god's word

00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:49.980
 to preserve

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:50.879
 them for future

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:51.539
 generations

00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:52.159
 for people

00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:52.860
 like us

00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:53.959
 so in

00:13:53.959 --> 00:13:54.419
 exodus

00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:55.579
 34 27

00:13:55.579 --> 00:13:56.319
 it says

00:13:56.319 --> 00:13:57.159
 then the

00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:57.759
 lord said

00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:58.480
 to moses

00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:00.519
 write down

00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:01.879
 these words

00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.920
 and in

00:14:03.920 --> 00:14:04.300
 jeremiah

00:14:04.300 --> 00:14:05.120
 30

00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.139
 verse 1

00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:06.639
 it says

00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:08.100
 this is the

00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:08.620
 word that

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:09.180
 came to

00:14:09.180 --> 00:14:09.680
 jeremiah

00:14:09.680 --> 00:14:10.279
 from the

00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:10.539
 lord

00:14:10.539 --> 00:14:11.240
 this is

00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:11.680
 what the

00:14:11.680 --> 00:14:12.259
 god of

00:14:12.259 --> 00:14:12.720
 israel

00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:13.200

00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:14.100
 write

00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:14.639
 in a

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:14.980
 book

00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:16.000
 all the

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:16.460
 words

00:14:16.460 --> 00:14:17.300
 i have

00:14:17.300 --> 00:14:17.820
 spoken

00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:18.480
 to you

00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.320
 this is

00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:21.879
 how god

00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:23.000
 communicates

00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:23.899
 with us

00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:25.200
 god has

00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:25.820
 taken the

00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:26.300
 initiative

00:14:26.300 --> 00:14:27.240
 to make

00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:27.720
 himself

00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:28.259
 known

00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:28.819
 and he

00:14:28.819 --> 00:14:29.200
 has done

00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:29.639
 this by

00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:30.480
 speaking to

00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:31.080
 us through

00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:31.819
 human

00:14:31.819 --> 00:14:32.419
 authors

00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:34.700
 like paul

00:14:34.700 --> 00:14:35.039
 that we're

00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:35.639
 reading from

00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:36.259
 right now

00:14:36.259 --> 00:14:37.899
 again a

00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:38.860
 quote here

00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:39.299
 it actually

00:14:39.299 --> 00:14:40.039
 comes from

00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:41.340
 our website

00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:43.460
 this does

00:14:43.460 --> 00:14:44.159
 not mean

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:44.879
 that god

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:45.759
 dictated

00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:46.600
 mechanically

00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:47.080
 to the

00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:47.679
 authors

00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.360
 rather god

00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:50.120
 spoke his

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:50.899
 words through

00:14:50.899 --> 00:14:51.860
 their words

00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:52.860
 using their

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:53.379
 different

00:14:53.379 --> 00:14:54.200
 personalities

00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:55.120
 and style

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:56.360
 in such

00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:56.819
 a way

00:14:56.819 --> 00:14:57.879
 that their

00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:59.039
 words were

00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:00.120
 simultaneously

00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:01.220
 his

00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:03.460
 this is

00:15:03.460 --> 00:15:04.059
 how god

00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:05.100
 communicates

00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:06.480
 and speaks

00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:07.639
 to us

00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.740
 so when it

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:10.139
 comes to

00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:10.860
 god's word

00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:12.100
 being preached

00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:12.840
 the implication

00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:13.740
 is clear

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:15.039
 when the bible

00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:15.700
 is read

00:15:15.700 --> 00:15:16.519
 and preached

00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:16.980
 we are

00:15:16.980 --> 00:15:17.759
 hearing

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:18.740
 the word

00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:19.240
 of god

00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:20.279
 god's word

00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:20.919
 spoken

00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:21.860
 is god's

00:15:21.860 --> 00:15:22.200
 voice

00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:23.039
 heard

00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:24.459
 when it

00:15:24.459 --> 00:15:24.899
 comes to

00:15:24.899 --> 00:15:25.439
 the sermon

00:15:25.439 --> 00:15:25.819
 to the

00:15:25.819 --> 00:15:26.360
 time where

00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:26.539
 we're

00:15:26.539 --> 00:15:26.959
 hearing

00:15:26.959 --> 00:15:27.439
 and opening

00:15:27.439 --> 00:15:27.799
 up the

00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:28.139
 bible

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:28.939
 and going

00:15:28.939 --> 00:15:29.419
 through the

00:15:29.419 --> 00:15:29.899
 books and

00:15:29.899 --> 00:15:30.360
 the verses

00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.059
 when someone

00:15:32.059 --> 00:15:32.879
 preaches

00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.099
 we hear god

00:15:35.099 --> 00:15:35.759
 speak

00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.899
 god is present

00:15:37.899 --> 00:15:38.860
 in his words

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:40.079
 we meet him

00:15:40.079 --> 00:15:41.259
 and we experience

00:15:41.259 --> 00:15:42.159
 him in his

00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:42.620
 words

00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:43.740
 now that should

00:15:43.740 --> 00:15:45.139
 radically change

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:45.839
 how we think

00:15:45.839 --> 00:15:46.519
 of the sermon

00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:47.399
 and it should

00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:48.500
 change how we

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:49.139
 think when we

00:15:49.139 --> 00:15:50.120
 actually open up

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:50.620
 the bible

00:15:50.620 --> 00:15:51.440
 and begin to

00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:52.120
 read it

00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.379
 it's not

00:15:55.379 --> 00:15:56.340
 johnny grant

00:15:56.340 --> 00:15:57.139
 up the front

00:15:57.139 --> 00:15:58.060
 sharing a few

00:15:58.060 --> 00:15:58.679
 thoughts that

00:15:58.679 --> 00:15:59.100
 he's had

00:15:59.100 --> 00:15:59.820
 through the

00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:00.179
 week

00:16:00.179 --> 00:16:02.220
 it's not

00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:02.919
 telling people

00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:03.759
 my ideas

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:04.340
 that i had

00:16:04.340 --> 00:16:04.820
 as i was

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:05.259
 sleeping

00:16:05.259 --> 00:16:05.940
 and just

00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:06.279
 kind of

00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:06.759
 jotted them

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:07.159
 down and

00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.120
 just well

00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:08.620
 here's what

00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:09.259
 i think

00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:12.240
 no

00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:13.299
 whoever

00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:14.120
 preaches

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.680
 is speaking

00:16:16.680 --> 00:16:17.220
 with the

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:18.279
 authority of

00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:18.720
 god

00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:19.680
 and this

00:16:19.680 --> 00:16:20.120
 is on the

00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:20.600
 screen as

00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:20.879
 well

00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:21.379
 whoever

00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:22.000
 preaches

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:23.300
 is speaking

00:16:23.300 --> 00:16:23.779
 with the

00:16:23.779 --> 00:16:24.560
 authority of

00:16:24.560 --> 00:16:24.860
 god

00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:26.120
 not their

00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:26.519
 own

00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:27.139
 authority

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:29.060
 but a

00:16:29.060 --> 00:16:29.399
 borrowed

00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:30.040
 authority

00:16:30.040 --> 00:16:30.580
 which is

00:16:30.580 --> 00:16:31.040
 the bible

00:16:31.040 --> 00:16:34.840
 now that

00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:35.460
 means we

00:16:35.460 --> 00:16:36.080
 have to be

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:37.240
 very careful

00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:38.860
 of people

00:16:38.860 --> 00:16:39.720
 who claim

00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:40.399
 that god

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.320
 speaks to

00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:41.639
 them

00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:43.060
 outside of

00:16:43.060 --> 00:16:43.519
 scripture

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:45.800
 they say

00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:46.899
 god spoke

00:16:46.899 --> 00:16:47.259
 to me

00:16:47.259 --> 00:16:47.940
 in an audible

00:16:47.940 --> 00:16:48.480
 voice

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:49.399
 or through

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:50.220
 their thoughts

00:16:50.220 --> 00:16:51.940
 and i've

00:16:51.940 --> 00:16:52.440
 met people

00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:52.759
 and i'm

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:53.180
 sure you've

00:16:53.180 --> 00:16:53.639
 spoken to

00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:53.879
 people

00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:54.379
 and maybe

00:16:54.379 --> 00:16:54.660
 you're

00:16:54.660 --> 00:16:55.019
 somebody

00:16:55.019 --> 00:16:55.519
 who said

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:56.660
 god said

00:16:56.660 --> 00:16:57.240
 to me

00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:58.440
 or god

00:16:58.440 --> 00:16:59.279
 told me

00:16:59.279 --> 00:16:59.820
 such and

00:16:59.820 --> 00:17:00.220
 such

00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:02.960
 what do you

00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:03.379
 think about

00:17:03.379 --> 00:17:03.740
 that

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:05.620
 will

00:17:05.620 --> 00:17:06.279
 and i'm

00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:06.500
 well to claim

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:07.400
 god has

00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:08.319
 spoken to

00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:08.779
 you

00:17:08.779 --> 00:17:10.460
 is to

00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:11.279
 give those

00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:11.880
 words

00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.460
 an authority

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.960
 equal to

00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:15.440
 scripture

00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.200
 you

00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:17.220
 you

00:17:17.220 --> 00:17:17.240
 you

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:17.440
 you

00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:17.620
 you

00:17:17.620 --> 00:17:17.940
 see all

00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:18.440
 god's

00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:18.860
 word

00:17:18.860 --> 00:17:20.059
 is

00:17:20.059 --> 00:17:20.680
 eternal

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.120
 god's

00:17:22.120 --> 00:17:22.460
 spoken

00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:22.720
 his

00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:22.980
 word

00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:23.279
 they've

00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:23.460
 been

00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:23.759
 written

00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:24.200
 down

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.740
 they're

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:25.279
 for all

00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:25.960
 generations

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:26.840
 and they

00:17:26.840 --> 00:17:27.100
 are to

00:17:27.100 --> 00:17:27.700
 believe

00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:28.140
 to be

00:17:28.140 --> 00:17:28.779
 believed

00:17:28.779 --> 00:17:29.519
 and

00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:30.240
 obeyed

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.059
 so any

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:32.680
 word that

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:33.339
 we claim

00:17:33.339 --> 00:17:33.980
 that comes

00:17:33.980 --> 00:17:34.740
 from god

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:35.980
 must equally

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:36.839
 be believed

00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:37.720
 and obeyed

00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:38.519
 by everybody

00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:39.079
 because when

00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:39.819
 god speaks

00:17:39.819 --> 00:17:40.359
 it's a word

00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:41.160
 for everybody

00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:42.160
 that's what

00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:42.559
 his word

00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:42.960
 is

00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.680
 now i'm

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:47.339
 not saying

00:17:47.339 --> 00:17:47.900
 that god

00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:48.880
 can't

00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:49.400
 speak

00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.200
 but what i'm

00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:52.800
 wanting us

00:17:52.800 --> 00:17:53.400
 to be very

00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:54.160
 careful is

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.340
 the regularity

00:17:55.340 --> 00:17:56.180
 by which some

00:17:56.180 --> 00:17:57.080
 people will say

00:17:57.080 --> 00:17:57.820
 they hear god

00:17:57.820 --> 00:17:58.540
 speaking to them

00:17:58.540 --> 00:17:59.540
 almost on an

00:17:59.540 --> 00:18:00.100
 hourly and

00:18:00.100 --> 00:18:01.000
 daily basis

00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:03.000
 and i think

00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:03.540
 that must be

00:18:03.540 --> 00:18:04.220
 treated with

00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:05.259
 great caution

00:18:05.259 --> 00:18:06.720
 and care

00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.560
 if we want

00:18:08.560 --> 00:18:09.480
 to hear god

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:10.440
 speak to us

00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:11.740
 in a contemporary

00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:12.840
 way about

00:18:12.840 --> 00:18:13.620
 our present

00:18:13.620 --> 00:18:14.420
 situation

00:18:14.420 --> 00:18:15.600
 and the life

00:18:15.600 --> 00:18:16.140
 that we are

00:18:16.140 --> 00:18:17.100
 in right now

00:18:17.100 --> 00:18:18.320
 open up your

00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:18.759
 bible

00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:19.779
 and read

00:18:19.779 --> 00:18:20.220
 it

00:18:20.220 --> 00:18:22.220
 listen to the

00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:22.839
 sermon being

 to your life

00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:26.799
 that's why we

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.799
 make god's word

00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:28.539
 central

00:18:28.539 --> 00:18:30.039
 when the bible

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.900
 is read

00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:31.859
 and taught

00:18:31.859 --> 00:18:33.599
 we hear god

00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:34.180
 speak

00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:35.400
 directly

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:36.359
 to us

00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:41.579
 so what

00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:41.980
 should we

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:42.779
 expect to

00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:43.119
 happen

00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:44.700
 when we

00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:45.559
 hear god's

00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:45.940
 word

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:47.279
 being spoken

00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:48.039
 to us

00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:49.879
 well there

00:18:49.879 --> 00:18:50.599

00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:51.019
 of different

00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:51.500
 ways we

00:18:51.500 --> 00:18:52.240
 should expect

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:52.879
 god to

00:18:52.879 --> 00:18:53.339
 work but

00:18:53.339 --> 00:18:53.700
 i think

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:54.119
 here are

00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:54.940
 two primary

00:18:54.940 --> 00:18:55.420
 ways

00:18:55.420 --> 00:18:57.779
 first god's

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:58.639
 word creates

00:18:58.639 --> 00:18:59.159
 life

00:18:59.159 --> 00:19:02.399
 when we hear

00:19:02.399 --> 00:19:03.139
 god's word

00:19:03.139 --> 00:19:03.720
 we should

00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:04.960
 expect the

 creation of

00:19:05.639 --> 00:19:06.039

00:24:13.539 --> 00:24:14.819
 that's

00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:15.000
 why

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:15.219
 we're

00:24:15.220 --> 00:24:15.420
 going

00:24:17.100 --> 00:24:17.440
 course

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:17.940
 because

00:24:17.940 --> 00:24:18.279
 it's

00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:18.500

00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:20.740
 will

 come

00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:21.100
 to

00:24:21.100 --> 00:24:21.519

00:26:25.899 --> 00:26:26.200
 hidden

00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:26.519
 from

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:27.000
 God's

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.279
 sight

00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:28.099
 everything

00:26:28.099 --> 00:26:28.440
 is

00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:28.919
 uncovered

00:26:28.919 --> 00:26:29.259
 and

00:26:29.259 --> 00:26:29.539
 laid

00:26:29.539 --> 00:26:29.859
 bare

00:26:29.859 --> 00:26:30.240
 before

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:30.480
 the

00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:30.899
 eyes

00:26:30.900 --> 00:26:31.080
 of

00:26:31.080 --> 00:26:31.420
 him

00:26:31.420 --> 00:26:32.640
 to

00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:32.920
 whom

00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:33.080
 we

00:26:33.080 --> 00:26:33.320
 must

00:26:33.320 --> 00:26:33.600
 give

00:26:33.600 --> 00:26:33.740
 an

00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:34.280
 account

00:26:34.280 --> 00:26:36.300
 it's

00:26:36.300 --> 00:26:36.540
 saying

00:26:36.540 --> 00:26:36.780
 here

00:26:36.780 --> 00:26:36.980
 that

00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:37.200
 the

00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:37.740
 word

00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:38.960
 is

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:39.220
 like

00:26:39.220 --> 00:26:39.480
 a

00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:40.280
 surgeon's

00:26:40.280 --> 00:26:41.160
 scalpel

00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:42.759
 in

00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:42.900
 an

00:26:42.900 --> 00:26:43.420
 operating

00:26:43.420 --> 00:26:44.080
 theatre

00:26:44.080 --> 00:26:45.880
 it

00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:46.380
 cuts

00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:46.660
 through

00:26:46.660 --> 00:26:46.920
 all

00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:47.180
 those

00:26:47.180 --> 00:26:47.680
 outer

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.080
 layers

00:26:48.080 --> 00:26:48.400
 through

00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:48.660
 all

00:26:48.660 --> 00:26:48.840
 the

00:26:48.840 --> 00:26:49.240
 skin

00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:49.400
 and

00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:49.620
 all

00:26:49.620 --> 00:26:49.780
 the

00:26:49.780 --> 00:26:50.180
 muscle

00:26:50.180 --> 00:26:50.400
 and

00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:50.560
 the

00:26:50.560 --> 00:26:51.080
 sinew

00:26:51.080 --> 00:26:52.200
 and

00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:52.380
 it

00:26:52.380 --> 00:26:53.400
 divides

00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:53.780
 and

00:26:53.780 --> 00:26:54.280
 cuts

00:26:54.280 --> 00:26:54.720
 deep

00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:55.640
 till

00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:55.800
 it

00:26:55.800 --> 00:26:56.480
 exposes

00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:56.759
 the

00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:57.240
 heart

00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:58.920
 you

00:26:58.920 --> 00:26:59.060
 see

00:26:59.060 --> 00:26:59.220
 we

00:26:59.220 --> 00:26:59.360
 have

00:26:59.360 --> 00:26:59.460
 an

00:26:59.460 --> 00:26:59.900
 ability

00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:00.200
 to

00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:00.540
 cover

00:27:00.540 --> 00:27:00.880
 up

00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:01.560
 what

00:27:01.560 --> 00:27:01.740
 we're

00:27:01.740 --> 00:27:02.100
 really

00:27:02.100 --> 00:27:02.520
 like

00:27:02.520 --> 00:27:04.520
 and

00:27:04.520 --> 00:27:04.660
 we

00:27:04.660 --> 00:27:04.840
 can

00:27:04.840 --> 00:27:05.280
 pretend

00:27:05.280 --> 00:27:05.560
 that

00:27:05.560 --> 00:27:05.880
 everything

00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:06.160
 is

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:06.500
 really

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:06.800
 good

00:27:06.800 --> 00:27:06.980
 with

00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:07.280
 us

00:27:07.280 --> 00:27:07.780
 and

00:27:07.780 --> 00:27:07.880
 we

00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:08.040
 can

00:27:08.040 --> 00:27:08.340
 come

00:27:08.340 --> 00:27:08.840
 and

00:27:08.840 --> 00:27:09.040
 meet

00:27:09.040 --> 00:27:09.220
 with

00:27:09.220 --> 00:27:09.420
 other

00:27:09.420 --> 00:27:09.800
 people

00:27:09.800 --> 00:27:10.040
 and

00:27:10.040 --> 00:27:10.340
 to

00:27:10.340 --> 00:27:10.800
 everybody

00:27:10.800 --> 00:27:11.160
 else

00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:11.360
 we're

00:27:11.360 --> 00:27:11.900
 fine

00:27:11.900 --> 00:27:14.360
 but

00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:14.840
 God's

00:27:14.840 --> 00:27:15.140
 word

00:27:15.140 --> 00:27:15.520
 has

00:27:15.520 --> 00:27:15.820
 this

00:27:15.820 --> 00:27:16.880
 power

00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:17.320
 to be

00:27:17.320 --> 00:27:17.520
 able

00:27:17.520 --> 00:27:17.740
 to

00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:17.980
 cut

00:27:17.980 --> 00:27:18.400
 right

00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:18.660
 through

00:27:18.660 --> 00:27:18.900
 the

00:27:18.900 --> 00:27:19.500
 exterior

00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:20.360
 and

00:27:20.360 --> 00:27:20.580
 get

00:27:20.580 --> 00:27:21.020
 right

00:27:21.020 --> 00:27:21.200
 to

00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:21.320
 the

00:27:21.320 --> 00:27:21.520
 very

00:27:21.520 --> 00:27:21.920
 heart

00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:22.060
 of

00:27:22.060 --> 00:27:22.220
 our

00:27:22.220 --> 00:27:22.600
 lives

00:27:22.600 --> 00:27:23.140
 and

00:27:23.140 --> 00:27:23.800
 expose

00:27:23.800 --> 00:27:23.980
 and

00:27:23.980 --> 00:27:24.140
 to

00:27:24.140 --> 00:27:24.400
 show

00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:24.600
 us

00:27:24.600 --> 00:27:24.840
 what

00:27:24.840 --> 00:27:25.660
 exactly

00:27:25.660 --> 00:27:26.520
 we're

00:27:26.520 --> 00:27:26.800
 really

00:27:26.800 --> 00:27:27.240
 like

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:28.840
 in

00:27:28.840 --> 00:27:29.100
 another

00:27:29.100 --> 00:27:29.440
 place

00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:29.780
 it

00:27:29.780 --> 00:27:30.020
 says

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:30.480
 the Bible

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:30.920
 is like

00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:31.420
 a mirror

00:27:31.420 --> 00:27:31.700
 it

00:27:31.700 --> 00:27:32.180
 shows

00:27:32.180 --> 00:27:32.359
 us

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:32.480
 it

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:32.980
 reflects

00:27:32.980 --> 00:27:33.480
 to us

00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:33.960
 who

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.160
 we

00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:34.379
 are

00:27:34.379 --> 00:27:34.579
 as

00:27:34.579 --> 00:27:35.000
 people

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.119
 now

00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:37.400
 that's

00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:37.660
 very

00:27:37.660 --> 00:27:38.200
 painful

00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:39.660
 to have

00:27:39.660 --> 00:27:39.900
 that

00:27:39.900 --> 00:27:40.639
 diagnosis

00:27:40.639 --> 00:27:40.940
 for

00:27:40.940 --> 00:27:41.400
 somebody

00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:41.700
 to

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:42.200
 peer

00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:42.480
 into

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:42.720
 our

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:43.180
 lives

00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:44.340
 and

00:27:44.340 --> 00:27:44.420
 to

00:27:44.420 --> 00:27:45.000
 show

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:45.519
 to

00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:46.039
 show

00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:46.180
 us

00:27:46.180 --> 00:27:47.420
 what

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:47.600
 we're

00:27:47.600 --> 00:27:47.840
 like

00:27:47.840 --> 00:27:49.680
 but he

00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:50.779
 can

00:27:50.779 --> 00:27:51.740
 transform

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:52.220
 us

00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:53.120
 to be

00:27:53.120 --> 00:27:53.360
 more

00:27:53.360 --> 00:27:53.660
 like

00:27:53.660 --> 00:27:54.160
 Christ

00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:56.420
 again

00:27:56.420 --> 00:27:57.320
 we see

00:27:57.320 --> 00:27:57.539
 this

00:27:57.539 --> 00:27:57.820
 if you

00:27:57.820 --> 00:27:58.240
 go back

00:27:58.240 --> 00:27:58.500
 to

00:27:58.500 --> 00:27:58.900
 first

00:27:58.900 --> 00:27:59.279
 Peter

00:27:59.279 --> 00:27:59.700
 where we

00:27:59.700 --> 00:27:59.900
 were

00:27:59.900 --> 00:28:00.200
 just

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:00.560
 now

00:28:00.560 --> 00:28:01.900
 again

00:28:01.900 --> 00:28:02.120
 just

00:28:02.120 --> 00:28:02.460
 go a

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:02.620
 few

00:28:02.620 --> 00:28:03.259
 more

00:28:03.259 --> 00:28:03.680
 pages

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:03.980
 on

00:28:03.980 --> 00:28:04.279
 the

00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:04.620
 page

00:28:04.620 --> 00:28:04.960
 number

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:05.200
 is

00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:05.400
 on

00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:05.580
 the

00:28:05.580 --> 00:28:06.640
 screen

00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:09.600
 first

00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:10.040
 Peter

00:28:10.040 --> 00:28:10.540
 just

00:28:10.540 --> 00:28:10.900
 following

00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:11.200
 on

00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:11.420
 from

00:28:11.420 --> 00:28:11.580
 the

00:28:11.580 --> 00:28:11.900
 last

00:28:11.900 --> 00:28:12.280
 verse

00:28:12.280 --> 00:28:12.600
 verse

00:28:12.600 --> 00:28:13.160
 25

00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:13.540
 of

00:28:13.540 --> 00:28:13.880
 chapter

00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:14.240
 1

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:16.800
 Peter

00:28:16.800 --> 00:28:17.020
 is

00:28:17.020 --> 00:28:17.280
 still

00:28:17.280 --> 00:28:17.740
 talking

00:28:17.740 --> 00:28:18.060
 about

00:28:18.060 --> 00:28:18.320
 the

00:28:18.320 --> 00:28:18.560
 word

00:28:18.560 --> 00:28:18.720
 of

00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:19.020
 God

00:28:19.020 --> 00:28:19.240
 the

00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:19.440
 only

00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:19.860
 difference

00:28:19.860 --> 00:28:20.180
 here

00:28:20.180 --> 00:28:20.360
 is

00:28:20.360 --> 00:28:20.640
 he's

00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:21.320
 begun

00:28:21.320 --> 00:28:21.560
 to

00:28:21.560 --> 00:28:21.940
 change

00:28:21.940 --> 00:28:22.200
 his

00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:22.640
 metaphor

00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:23.200
 he

00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:23.340
 was

00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:02.740
 transform

00:30:02.740 --> 00:30:03.240
 us

00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:03.619
 in

00:30:03.619 --> 00:30:03.740
 a

00:30:03.740 --> 00:30:03.920
 very

00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.559
 gentle

00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:05.139
 and

00:30:05.139 --> 00:30:05.759
 caring

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:06.019
 and

00:30:06.019 --> 00:30:06.420
 wholesome

00:30:06.420 --> 00:30:06.920
 way

00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:08.299
 and

00:30:08.299 --> 00:30:08.659
 make

00:30:08.659 --> 00:30:08.859
 us

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:09.059
 into

00:30:09.059 --> 00:30:09.240
 the

00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:09.480
 kind

00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:09.619
 of

00:30:09.619 --> 00:30:09.920
 people

00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:10.220
 God

00:30:10.220 --> 00:30:10.559
 wants

00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:10.720
 us

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:10.879
 to

00:30:10.879 --> 00:30:11.119
 be

00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:13.399
 because

00:30:13.399 --> 00:30:13.680
 the

00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:13.920
 word

00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:14.099
 of

00:30:14.099 --> 00:30:14.420
 God

00:30:14.420 --> 00:30:14.659
 when

00:30:14.659 --> 00:30:14.819
 it

00:30:14.819 --> 00:30:15.119
 is

00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:15.599
 heard

00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:16.980
 transforms

00:30:16.980 --> 00:30:17.480
 our

00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:17.899
 life

00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:19.500
 it

00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:20.059
 trains

00:30:20.059 --> 00:30:20.359
 us

00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:20.519
 and

00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:21.099
 equips

00:30:21.099 --> 00:30:21.399
 us

00:30:21.399 --> 00:30:21.899
 not

00:30:21.899 --> 00:30:22.399
 physically

00:30:22.399 --> 00:30:22.740
 but

00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:23.559
 spiritually

00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:24.619
 making

00:30:24.619 --> 00:30:24.879
 us

00:30:24.879 --> 00:30:25.099
 into

00:30:25.099 --> 00:30:25.279
 the

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:25.559
 kind

00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:25.740
 of

00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:26.159
 people

00:30:26.159 --> 00:30:26.940
 prepared

00:30:26.940 --> 00:30:27.240
 for

00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:27.420
 the

00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:27.839
 service

00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:28.059
 that

00:30:28.059 --> 00:30:28.159
 he

00:30:28.159 --> 00:30:28.440
 has

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:28.720
 for

00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:29.119
 us

00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:33.940
 so

00:30:33.940 --> 00:30:34.220
 these

00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:34.460
 are the

00:30:34.460 --> 00:30:34.799
 things

00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:35.180
 that we

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:35.420
 should

00:30:35.420 --> 00:30:36.259
 expect

00:30:36.259 --> 00:30:37.899
 you

00:30:37.899 --> 00:30:38.099
 see

00:30:38.099 --> 00:30:38.359
 it's

00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:38.799
 crucial

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:39.119
 that

00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:39.279
 we

00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:39.559
 make

00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:40.159
 God's

00:30:40.159 --> 00:30:40.440
 word

00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:41.220
 central

00:30:41.220 --> 00:30:42.019
 to

00:30:42.019 --> 00:30:42.240
 our

00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:42.839
 gatherings

00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:43.559
 on

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:43.740
 a

00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:44.079
 Sunday

00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:45.460
 in

00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:45.740
 fact

00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:45.920
 it

00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:46.079
 should

00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:46.240
 be

00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:46.379
 at

00:30:46.379 --> 00:30:46.539
 the

00:30:46.539 --> 00:30:46.940
 center

00:30:46.940 --> 00:30:47.180
 of

00:30:47.180 --> 00:30:47.539
 all

00:30:47.539 --> 00:30:47.740
 we

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:47.960
 do

00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:48.119
 as

00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:48.279
 a

00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:48.579
 church

00:30:48.579 --> 00:30:49.000
 and

00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:49.359
 that's

00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:49.519
 what

00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:49.700
 we

00:30:49.700 --> 00:30:50.039
 aim

00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:50.259
 to

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:50.480
 do

00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:51.019
 that's

00:30:51.019 --> 00:30:51.180
 why

00:30:51.180 --> 00:30:51.379
 we

00:30:51.379 --> 00:30:51.879
 start

00:30:51.879 --> 00:30:52.259
 our

00:30:52.259 --> 00:30:52.839
 gatherings

00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:53.139
 by

00:30:53.139 --> 00:30:53.779
 reading

00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:54.139
 from

00:30:54.139 --> 00:30:54.579
 God's

00:30:54.579 --> 00:30:54.839
 word

00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:55.420
 that's

00:30:55.420 --> 00:30:55.559
 why

00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:55.759
 the

00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:56.159
 songs

00:30:56.159 --> 00:30:56.480
 that we

00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:56.740
 sing

00:30:56.740 --> 00:30:56.859
 are

 God's

00:30:58.220 --> 00:30:58.440
 word

00:30:58.440 --> 00:30:59.000
 that's

00:30:59.000 --> 00:30:59.139
 why

00:30:59.139 --> 00:30:59.319
 we

00:30:59.319 --> 00:30:59.480
 have

00:30:59.480 --> 00:30:59.920
 teachers

00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:00.159
 who

00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:05.659
 and

00:31:05.659 --> 00:31:06.000
 that's

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:06.180
 why

00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:06.379
 we

00:31:06.379 --> 00:31:06.920
 encourage

00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:07.180
 us

00:31:07.180 --> 00:31:07.379
 to

 it's

00:32:02.139 --> 00:32:02.339
 the

 crucial

00:32:02.819 --> 00:32:03.599
 part

00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:03.859
 of
