WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:15.320
 Will you join me in prayer?

00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.240
 Lord, even as we have just sung,

00:00:22.059 --> 00:00:25.320
 now we pray that you would speak to us

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.199
 that through your word,

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:32.579
 and in your word and by your word,

00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:35.840
 we would hear you speak to us.

00:00:36.519 --> 00:00:38.659
 Lord, that our eyes may be lifted up

00:00:38.659 --> 00:00:40.659
 to see the greatness of your glory,

00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.299
 that our hearts may be turned to treasure you

00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:45.560
 above all things,

00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:50.620
 that our wills may be moved to follow you

00:00:50.620 --> 00:00:53.480
 and obey you in all that you instruct us to,

00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.840
 Lord, that we might know the depth

00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.460
 and the riches of your love and grace in Christ more deeply,

00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:03.900
 and that we would truly worship you

00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:07.020
 in all that we do here,

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:10.780
 and as we scatter this coming week.

00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.140
 Speak, O Lord, we pray in Jesus' name.

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:16.180
 Amen.

00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:16.340
 Amen.

00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:24.579
 I've started cooking salmon this year.

00:01:24.980 --> 00:01:26.460
 If you've ever cooked salmon,

00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:28.460
 it's a wonderful food.

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.500
 It's rich in protein and good for you.

00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:33.260
 It's also hard to cook.

00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.379
 It's really easy for it to be underdone

00:01:36.379 --> 00:01:37.719
 and still a little pink,

00:01:37.780 --> 00:01:39.420
 and I know some people kind of prefer that,

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:40.840
 but I'm a little squeamish,

00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:42.200
 so I like my fish cooked,

00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.000
 and yet it's really easy to overcook it

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.579
 and to make it really dry and pretty impalatable,

00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:51.840
 and so I'm sure that's not a word.

00:01:52.299 --> 00:01:52.740
 Unpalatable.

00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:53.460
 There we go.

00:01:53.540 --> 00:01:54.359
 Let's try that again.

00:01:54.859 --> 00:01:55.340
 Unpalatable.

00:01:56.340 --> 00:02:00.140
 So a couple of months ago,

00:02:00.140 --> 00:02:02.180
 I was wandering around Bed Bath & Beyond

00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:05.160
 because I had a free half hour in my life

00:02:05.160 --> 00:02:07.860
 and found on the discount rack

00:02:07.860 --> 00:02:11.099
 a instant read meat thermometer,

00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:13.360
 which I have never had before,

00:02:14.060 --> 00:02:17.819
 and it has revolutionized salmon cooking

00:02:17.819 --> 00:02:20.700
 because now I stick the little thing in

00:02:20.700 --> 00:02:22.580
 and I set the alarm to go off

00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:24.520
 when it hits 145 degrees,

00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:26.219
 and lo and behold,

00:02:26.600 --> 00:02:29.700
 we have had wonderful salmon ever since.

00:02:29.699 --> 00:02:33.039
 Now, obviously eating salmon

00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.000
 is not a very important thing in our life

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:35.759
 in the big picture.

00:02:35.959 --> 00:02:36.979
 It is not a necessity,

00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:41.799
 but I wonder if in other more essential things

00:02:41.799 --> 00:02:42.579
 in our lives,

00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.379
 we similarly miss essential tools

00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:49.479
 that help us to do the things

00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.539
 that we want to do well.

00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.359
 It could be as something mechanical and physical

00:02:56.359 --> 00:02:58.959
 as we put gas in our car

00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.320
 so that when we're driving our kids to school,

00:03:01.480 --> 00:03:02.659
 we don't run out of gas

00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:04.900
 and fail to deliver them on time.

00:03:06.020 --> 00:03:09.360
 It might be much less material,

00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:12.340
 like trying to engage in a relationship

00:03:12.340 --> 00:03:15.719
 and yet forsake love as a part of it.

00:03:17.900 --> 00:03:19.719
 I wonder too if this is true

00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.600
 in our spiritual lives as well.

00:03:22.600 --> 00:03:25.780
 Whether we are in a desire to know God

00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:27.860
 conducting ourselves in a way

00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:30.219
 that actually takes advantage of

00:03:30.219 --> 00:03:33.259
 and utilizes the tools that God has given us

00:03:33.259 --> 00:03:35.120
 to know Him rightly.

00:03:36.379 --> 00:03:39.300
 The things that God has designed for us

00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:42.620
 so that we might flourish spiritually.

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.280
 It is to this question this morning,

00:03:47.420 --> 00:03:48.039
 I believe,

00:03:48.259 --> 00:03:52.500
 that the book of Ezra speaks to.

00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:54.879
 We are in Ezra chapter 7.

00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:56.460
 If you're reading the Pew Bibles,

00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.860
 it's page 366.

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.020
 And if you were visiting or just knew,

00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:02.479
 just remember,

00:04:02.659 --> 00:04:04.599
 Ezra is the book about God

00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:08.219
 returning His people to His promised land

00:04:08.219 --> 00:04:11.180
 and rebuilding them as His people.

00:04:12.219 --> 00:04:13.300
 What we've seen is that

00:04:13.300 --> 00:04:15.680
 after they were taken away by exile

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.240
 and Jerusalem was destroyed

00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:18.560
 and the temple was destroyed,

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:19.899
 50 years later,

00:04:19.899 --> 00:04:21.779
 God comes and He takes His people

00:04:21.779 --> 00:04:24.279
 and He begins to return them

00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.099
 in 538 B.C. onwards.

00:04:27.299 --> 00:04:29.959
 God moved in the hearts of Cyrus

00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.319
 and then Darius,

00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:33.339
 the kings of Persia,

00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.679
 to allow the people of God

00:04:35.679 --> 00:04:37.099
 to return to their land

00:04:37.099 --> 00:04:38.879
 and not only to return to their land

00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:39.739
 and to settle there,

00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.399
 but to reestablish the worship of God

00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:43.639
 in the temple of Jerusalem.

00:04:43.799 --> 00:04:44.879
 So they rebuild the altar,

00:04:45.019 --> 00:04:46.099
 they rebuild the temple,

00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.500
 they reinstate the worship of God

00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:51.120
 that He had instructed in the Old Testament,

00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:55.540
 finishing that project in 516 B.C.

00:04:56.379 --> 00:04:58.839
 as we see at the end of Ezra, chapter 6.

00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.379
 And this is what the first six chapters

00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:03.300
 of the book of Ezra is about.

00:05:03.420 --> 00:05:05.160
 And then as we get to chapter 7

00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:06.420
 and what comes afterwards,

00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:08.300
 we see a new movement

00:05:08.300 --> 00:05:10.500
 of God establishing His people,

00:05:11.300 --> 00:05:13.819
 less in the physical movement of people

00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:14.899
 and building of buildings

00:05:14.899 --> 00:05:17.239
 and more in the spiritual building

00:05:17.239 --> 00:05:20.039
 of His people in various ways.

00:05:21.599 --> 00:05:24.919
 So what is God up to in Ezra, chapter 7?

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.199
 Well, let's go ahead and read it together

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.599
 and then we'll consider what

00:05:29.599 --> 00:05:31.979
 He has to say to us this morning.

00:05:31.980 --> 00:05:41.379
 Now, after this,

00:05:42.280 --> 00:05:43.960
 in the reign of Artaxerxes,

00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:45.560
 king of Persia,

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.220
 Ezra, the son of Saraiah,

00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.040
 son of Azariah,

00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:49.980
 son of Hilkiah,

00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:50.800
 son of Shalom,

00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:51.740
 son of Zadok,

00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:52.759
 son of Ahitob,

00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:54.500
 son of Amariah,

00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:55.660
 son of Azariah,

00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:56.780
 son of Marioth,

00:05:57.259 --> 00:05:59.420
 son of Zerahiah,

00:05:59.420 --> 00:06:00.860
 son of Uzzi,

00:06:01.180 --> 00:06:01.960
 son of Buki,

00:06:02.460 --> 00:06:03.600
 son of Abishwa,

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:04.699
 son of Phinehas,

00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:05.699
 son of Eleazar,

00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:07.860
 son of Aaron,

00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:09.560
 the chief priest.

00:06:11.020 --> 00:06:14.480
 This Ezra went up from Babylonia.

00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:15.980
 He was a scribe,

00:06:16.379 --> 00:06:17.920
 skilled in the law of Moses

00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:18.600
 that the Lord,

00:06:18.700 --> 00:06:19.400
 the God of Israel,

00:06:19.460 --> 00:06:19.980
 had given,

00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:21.920
 and the king granted him

00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.080
 all that he asked

00:06:23.080 --> 00:06:24.819
 for the hand of the Lord his God

00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:25.540
 was on him.

00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:28.540
 And there went up also

00:06:28.540 --> 00:06:29.260
 to Jerusalem

00:06:29.260 --> 00:06:30.100
 in the seventh year

00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:30.840
 of Artaxerxes,

00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:31.460
 the king,

00:06:31.819 --> 00:06:33.220
 some of the people of Israel,

00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:34.439
 and some of the priests,

00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:35.180
 and Levites,

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:35.819
 and the singers,

00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:36.620
 and gatekeepers,

00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:38.100
 and the temple servants,

00:06:38.260 --> 00:06:39.819
 and Ezra came to Jerusalem

00:06:39.819 --> 00:06:40.820
 in the fifth month,

00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.100
 which was in the seventh year

00:06:43.100 --> 00:06:43.660
 of the king.

00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:45.759
 For on the first day

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:46.580
 of the first month,

00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:47.660
 he began to go up

00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:48.460
 from Babylonia,

00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:49.360
 and on the first day

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:50.360
 of the fifth month,

00:06:50.580 --> 00:06:52.140
 he came to Jerusalem,

00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:54.100
 for the good hand

00:06:54.100 --> 00:06:54.800
 of his God

00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:55.640
 was on him.

00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.819
 For Ezra had set his heart

00:06:58.819 --> 00:07:00.939
 to study the law of the Lord,

00:07:01.539 --> 00:07:02.439
 and to do it,

00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:04.500
 and to teach his statutes

00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:06.060
 and rules in Israel.

00:07:06.899 --> 00:07:08.079
 And this is a copy

00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:08.579
 of the letter

00:07:08.579 --> 00:07:09.659
 that King Artaxerxes

00:07:09.659 --> 00:07:11.300
 gave to Ezra the priest,

00:07:11.419 --> 00:07:11.919
 the scribe,

00:07:12.039 --> 00:07:13.279
 a man learned

00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:14.579
 in matters

00:07:14.579 --> 00:07:15.339
 of the commandments

00:07:15.339 --> 00:07:16.139
 of the law,

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:16.860
 Lord,

00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:18.259
 and his statutes

00:07:18.259 --> 00:07:18.979
 for Israel.

00:07:20.699 --> 00:07:21.180
 Artaxerxes,

00:07:21.419 --> 00:07:22.039
 king of kings,

00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:23.120
 to Ezra the priest,

00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:23.719
 the scribe,

00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.520
 the Lord of the God

00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:26.000
 of heaven,

00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:27.000
 peace.

00:07:27.640 --> 00:07:28.280
 And now,

00:07:28.380 --> 00:07:29.400
 I make a decree

00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:30.120
 that any one

00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:31.180
 of the people of Israel

00:07:31.180 --> 00:07:32.160
 or their priests

00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:32.720
 or Levites

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:33.440
 in my kingdom

00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:34.460
 who freely offers

00:07:34.460 --> 00:07:35.480
 to go to Jerusalem

00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:36.900
 may go with you.

00:07:37.660 --> 00:07:38.840
 For you are sent

00:07:38.840 --> 00:07:39.820
 by the king

00:07:39.820 --> 00:07:41.100
 and his seven counselors

00:07:41.100 --> 00:07:42.180
 to make inquiries

00:07:42.180 --> 00:07:42.980
 about Judah

00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:43.740
 and Jerusalem

00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:45.020
 according to the law

00:07:45.020 --> 00:07:45.740
 of your God

00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:46.700
 which is in your hand,

00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:48.320
 and also to carry

00:07:48.320 --> 00:07:49.360
 the silver and gold

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:49.940
 that the king

00:07:49.940 --> 00:07:50.600
 and his counselors

00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:51.640
 have freely offered

00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:53.159
 to the God of Israel

00:07:53.159 --> 00:07:54.019
 whose dwelling

00:07:54.019 --> 00:07:55.199
 is in Jerusalem

00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:56.779
 with all the silver

00:07:56.779 --> 00:07:57.259
 and gold

00:07:57.259 --> 00:07:58.199
 that you shall find

00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.459
 and with freewill offerings

00:08:02.459 --> 00:08:03.279

00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:04.519
 and the priests

00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:05.539
 vowed willingly

00:08:05.539 --> 00:08:06.439

00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:07.219
 of their God

00:08:07.219 --> 00:08:08.519
 that is in Jerusalem.

00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:10.219
 With this money

00:08:10.219 --> 00:08:11.019
 then you shall

00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:12.379
 with all diligence

00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:14.439
 buy bulls,

00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:16.659

 and their drink offerings

00:08:17.659 --> 00:08:18.919
 and you shall offer them

00:08:18.919 --> 00:08:19.519
 on the altar

00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:20.139
 of the house

00:08:20.139 --> 00:08:20.839
 of your God

00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.319
 that is in Jerusalem.

00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:24.159
 Whatever seems good

00:08:24.159 --> 00:08:24.620
 to you

00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:25.479
 and your brothers

00:08:25.479 --> 00:08:26.180
 to do

00:08:26.180 --> 00:08:26.859
 with the rest

00:08:26.859 --> 00:08:27.439

00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:28.620
 you may do

 according to the will

00:08:30.419 --> 00:08:31.299
 of your God.

00:08:31.579 --> 00:08:32.319
 The vessels

00:08:32.319 --> 00:08:33.480
 that have been given you

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:34.220
 for the service

00:08:34.220 --> 00:08:34.779
 of the house

00:08:34.779 --> 00:08:35.439
 of your God

00:08:35.439 --> 00:08:36.500
 you shall deliver

00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:37.379
 before the God

00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:38.019
 of Jerusalem

00:08:38.019 --> 00:08:39.559
 and whatever else

00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:40.159
 is required

00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:40.840
 for the house

00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:41.480
 of your God

00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.220
 which it falls

00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:44.319
 to you to provide

00:08:44.319 --> 00:08:45.460
 you may provide it

00:08:45.460 --> 00:08:47.579
 out of the king's treasury.

00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:49.879
 And I

00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.379
 Artaxerxes

00:08:51.379 --> 00:08:52.020
 the king

00:08:52.020 --> 00:08:52.920
 make a decree

00:08:52.920 --> 00:08:54.100
 to all the treasurers

00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:54.940
 in the province

00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:55.780
 beyond the river

00:08:55.780 --> 00:08:57.100
 whatever Ezra

00:08:57.100 --> 00:08:57.720
 the priest

00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:58.300
 the scribe

00:08:58.300 --> 00:08:58.740
 of the law

00:08:58.740 --> 00:08:59.180
 of the God

00:08:59.180 --> 00:08:59.600
 of heaven

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:00.560
 requires of you

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:01.720
 let it be done

00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:02.940
 with all diligence

00:09:02.940 --> 00:09:03.960
 up to a hundred

00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:05.000
 talents of silver

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.139
 a hundred cores

00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:06.620

00:09:06.620 --> 00:09:07.460
 a hundred baths

00:09:07.460 --> 00:09:07.900

00:09:07.900 --> 00:09:08.720
 a hundred baths

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:10.100

00:09:10.100 --> 00:09:11.080
 without prescribing

00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:11.700
 how much?

00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:13.940
 Whatever is decreed

00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:14.540
 by the God

00:09:14.540 --> 00:09:15.020
 of heaven

00:09:15.020 --> 00:09:16.220
 let it be done

00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:16.720
 in full

00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:17.440
 for the house

00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:18.019
 of the God

00:09:18.019 --> 00:09:18.540
 of heaven

00:09:18.540 --> 00:09:20.200
 lest his wrath

00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:20.800
 be against

00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:21.360
 the realm

00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:22.019
 of the king

00:09:22.019 --> 00:09:23.300
 and his sons

00:09:23.300 --> 00:09:25.680
 we also notify you

00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:26.879
 that it shall not

00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:27.600
 be lawful

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:28.259
 to impose

00:09:28.259 --> 00:09:28.700
 tribute

00:09:28.700 --> 00:09:29.139
 custom

00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:29.680
 or toll

00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:31.360
 on any one

00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:32.019
 of the priests

00:09:32.019 --> 00:09:32.759
 the Levites

00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:33.360
 the singers

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:34.480
 or the doorkeepers

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:35.920

 or other servants

00:09:36.980 --> 00:09:38.620
 of this house

00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:39.540
 of God

00:09:39.540 --> 00:09:41.340
 and you

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:41.840
 Ezra

00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:42.920
 according to the wisdom

00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:43.660
 of your God

00:09:43.660 --> 00:09:45.000
 that is in your hand

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.580
 appoint magistrates

00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:47.139
 and judges

00:09:47.139 --> 00:09:47.860
 who may judge

00:09:47.860 --> 00:09:48.500
 all the people

00:09:48.500 --> 00:09:49.919
 in the province

00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:51.100
 beyond the river

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:52.440
 all such as know

00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:53.940
 the laws of your God

00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:55.159
 and those who do not

00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:55.720
 know them

00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:56.960
 you shall teach

00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.960
 whoever will not

00:09:58.960 --> 00:09:59.600
 obey the law

00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:00.220
 of your God

00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:00.720
 and the law

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:01.720
 of the king

00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:02.659
 let judgment

00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:03.379
 be strictly

00:10:03.379 --> 00:10:05.139
 executed upon him

00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:06.360
 whether for death

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:07.139
 or for banishment

00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:08.440
 for confiscation

00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:09.080
 of his goods

00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:10.919
 or for imprisonment

00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.500
 blessed be the God

00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:15.259
 the Lord

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:15.979
 the God

00:10:15.979 --> 00:10:16.639
 of our fathers

00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:17.799
 who put such a thing

00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:18.379
 as this

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:19.360
 into the heart

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:19.899
 of the king

00:10:19.899 --> 00:10:21.159
 to beautify

00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:21.779
 the house

00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:22.319
 of the Lord

00:10:22.319 --> 00:10:23.319
 that is in Jerusalem

00:10:23.319 --> 00:10:24.500
 and who extended

00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:24.939
 to me

00:10:24.939 --> 00:10:26.279
 his steadfast love

00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:27.240
 before the king

00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:28.059
 and his counselors

00:10:28.059 --> 00:10:29.860
 and before all

00:10:29.860 --> 00:10:31.459
 the king's mighty officers

00:10:31.459 --> 00:10:33.159
 I took courage

00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:34.099
 for the hand

00:10:34.099 --> 00:10:34.679
 of the Lord

00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:35.240
 my God

00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:35.919
 was on me

00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:36.639
 and I gathered

00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:37.240
 leading men

00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:37.919
 from Israel

00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.459
 to go up

00:10:39.460 --> 00:10:40.600
 with me

00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:45.560
 friends

00:10:45.560 --> 00:10:46.740
 this morning

00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:48.080
 what I want us

00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:48.700
 to see

00:10:48.700 --> 00:10:49.440
 is that

00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:50.700
 as God

00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:51.600
 is rebuilding

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:52.460
 his people

00:10:52.460 --> 00:10:54.139
 he establishes

00:10:54.139 --> 00:10:54.580
 them

00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:56.040
 by giving them

00:10:56.040 --> 00:10:57.440
 his word

00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:59.980
 we're going to look

00:10:59.980 --> 00:11:00.860
 at how in this

00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:01.420
 passage

00:11:01.420 --> 00:11:02.600
 God is raising

00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:03.519
 up Ezra

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.480
 to be the instrument

00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:06.120
 through which

00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:06.740
 his word

00:11:06.740 --> 00:11:08.060
 is reestablished

00:11:08.060 --> 00:11:09.320
 in the people

00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:09.780
 of God

00:11:09.780 --> 00:11:10.240
 as they are

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:11.080
 reestablishing

00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:11.620
 themselves

00:11:11.620 --> 00:11:13.180
 in the promised

00:11:13.180 --> 00:11:13.620
 land

00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:14.400
 and then we will

00:11:14.400 --> 00:11:14.920
 think about

00:11:14.920 --> 00:11:15.520
 how it is

00:11:15.520 --> 00:11:15.920
 that God

00:11:15.920 --> 00:11:16.480
 does that

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:17.280
 as well

00:11:17.280 --> 00:11:17.879
 today

00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:18.900
 in the church

00:11:18.900 --> 00:11:20.720
 so let's first

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:21.600
 look at how

00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:22.560
 God raises

00:11:22.560 --> 00:11:23.060
 up

00:11:23.060 --> 00:11:24.480
 and establishes

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.160
 his people

00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:27.300
 through Ezra

00:11:27.300 --> 00:11:29.840
 bringing the word

00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:31.200
 the scriptures

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.640
 to his people

00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:34.000
 as you see

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:34.560
 in this verse

00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:35.200
 we are now

00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:36.940
 50-60 years

00:11:36.940 --> 00:11:38.280
 after the end

00:11:38.280 --> 00:11:39.280
 of chapter 6

00:11:39.280 --> 00:11:40.600
 Artaxerxes

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:41.460
 is a later

00:11:41.460 --> 00:11:43.700
 king of Persia

00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:44.920
 and we have

00:11:44.920 --> 00:11:45.440
 now moved

00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:46.440
 almost a whole

00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:47.120
 generation

00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:48.760
 and in this

00:11:48.760 --> 00:11:49.580
 new movement

00:11:49.580 --> 00:11:50.200
 this new

00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:51.200
 historical movement

00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:52.420
 God moves

00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:53.020
 the heart

00:11:53.020 --> 00:11:54.120
 of the king

00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:54.880
 to respond

00:11:54.880 --> 00:11:55.640
 to what seems

00:11:55.640 --> 00:11:56.480
 to be a request

00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.180
 from Ezra

00:11:57.180 --> 00:11:59.140
 that Ezra

00:11:59.140 --> 00:12:00.080
 might return

00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.640
 and bring

00:12:01.640 --> 00:12:02.220
 the word

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:02.820
 of God

00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:04.040
 to his people

00:12:04.040 --> 00:12:06.980
 and what you see

00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:07.460
 in the first

00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:09.279
 five verses

00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:10.740
 is a bit

00:12:10.740 --> 00:12:11.200
 of his

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:12.180
 CV

00:12:12.180 --> 00:12:13.680
 who is Ezra

00:12:13.680 --> 00:12:15.259
 well most importantly

00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:16.759
 he is the descendant

00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:17.379
 of Aaron

00:12:17.379 --> 00:12:18.320
 you remember

00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:18.800
 Aaron

00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:19.399
 the partner

00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.100
 with Moses

00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:21.340
 when God

00:12:21.340 --> 00:12:22.160
 in the Exodus

00:12:22.160 --> 00:12:23.180
 brought his people

00:12:23.180 --> 00:12:24.540
 out of Egypt

00:12:24.540 --> 00:12:25.560
 and established them

00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:26.680
 it was Aaron

00:12:26.680 --> 00:12:27.680
 and his sons

00:12:27.680 --> 00:12:28.779
 who were the priests

00:12:28.779 --> 00:12:31.279
 who were in charge

00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:32.659
 of the worship of God

00:12:32.659 --> 00:12:33.699
 in the tabernacle

00:12:33.699 --> 00:12:34.559
 and then later

00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:35.259
 his descendants

00:12:35.259 --> 00:12:36.100
 in the temple

00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:37.740
 this was the descendant

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.299
 and the lineage

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:38.919
 of the people

00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:39.399
 who were meant

00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:40.319
 to keep the word

00:12:40.319 --> 00:12:40.819
 of God

00:12:40.819 --> 00:12:41.819
 and to teach

00:12:41.819 --> 00:12:42.639
 the word of God

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:43.819
 and to follow through

00:12:43.819 --> 00:12:44.519
 with the worship

00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:45.059
 of God

00:12:45.059 --> 00:12:46.279
 according to the word

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:46.759
 of God

00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.019
 in the temple

00:12:48.019 --> 00:12:50.100
 and so

00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:52.019
 Ezra is established

00:12:52.019 --> 00:12:53.159
 as one who has

00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:53.759
 the lineage

00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:54.779
 and the pedigree

00:12:54.779 --> 00:12:55.879
 to take up

00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:56.579
 this role

00:12:56.579 --> 00:12:58.019
 but even more

00:12:58.019 --> 00:12:58.419
 than that

00:12:58.419 --> 00:12:59.120
 you see that

00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:00.159
 the writer here

00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:01.639
 is repeating

00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:02.219
 to us

00:13:02.219 --> 00:13:03.179
 over and over

00:13:03.179 --> 00:13:04.059
 and over again

00:13:04.059 --> 00:13:05.000
 what is the

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:06.079
 most important

00:13:06.079 --> 00:13:07.079
 thing about Ezra

00:13:07.079 --> 00:13:09.219
 it is that he is

00:13:09.219 --> 00:13:10.159
 a man

00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:11.439
 of the scriptures

00:13:11.439 --> 00:13:12.740
 that he knows

00:13:12.740 --> 00:13:13.860
 the law of Moses

00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:14.559
 it is almost

00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:15.799
 like a tagline

00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:17.360
 in this

00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:18.199
 in this passage

00:13:18.199 --> 00:13:18.759
 if you look at

00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:19.699
 look at verse 6

00:13:19.699 --> 00:13:22.199
 he was a scribe

00:13:22.199 --> 00:13:23.419
 skilled in the law

00:13:23.419 --> 00:13:23.959
 of Moses

00:13:23.959 --> 00:13:24.899
 verse 10

00:13:24.899 --> 00:13:26.419
 he set his heart

00:13:26.419 --> 00:13:26.980
 to study

00:13:26.980 --> 00:13:27.539
 the law

00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:28.139
 of the Lord

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:29.259
 verse 12

00:13:29.259 --> 00:13:31.259
 to Ezra

00:13:31.259 --> 00:13:31.779
 the priest

00:13:31.779 --> 00:13:32.379
 the scribe

00:13:32.379 --> 00:13:33.059
 of the law

00:13:33.059 --> 00:13:34.120
 of the God

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:34.519
 of heaven

00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:35.080
 and so on

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:35.620
 and so forth

00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:36.379
 verse 14

00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:37.179
 and verse 21

00:13:37.179 --> 00:13:38.120
 and verse 23

00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:39.319
 in verse 25

00:13:39.319 --> 00:13:40.220
 and verse 26

00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:41.120
 over and over

00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:41.840
 and over again

00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.059
 this is who

00:13:43.059 --> 00:13:44.080
 Ezra is

00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.159
 he is the man

00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:47.700
 of God's law

00:13:47.700 --> 00:13:49.139
 and he is bringing

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:50.600
 it to his people

00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:51.240
 and when you look

00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:52.080
 back at verse 10

00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:52.639
 look with me

00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:53.340
 at verse 10

00:13:53.340 --> 00:13:55.700
 because it's not

00:13:55.700 --> 00:13:56.580
 just that he had

00:13:56.580 --> 00:13:57.799
 a passing familiarity

00:13:57.799 --> 00:13:59.419
 or that he happened

00:13:59.419 --> 00:14:00.279
 to carry around

00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:01.199
 a book with him

00:14:01.199 --> 00:14:02.919
 but when verse 10

00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.059
 Ezra had set his heart

00:14:05.059 --> 00:14:06.819
 to do three things

00:14:06.819 --> 00:14:08.899
 he studied the law

00:14:08.899 --> 00:14:11.139
 he immersed himself

00:14:11.139 --> 00:14:11.759
 in it

00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.779
 he dove into it

00:14:13.779 --> 00:14:14.839
 so that he knew it

00:14:14.839 --> 00:14:15.759
 inside out

00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:17.639
 he probably memorized it

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:19.599
 and meditated upon it

00:14:19.599 --> 00:14:21.959
 he studied God's law

00:14:21.959 --> 00:14:23.339
 the second thing

00:14:23.339 --> 00:14:24.039
 that he did

00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.879
 is to do it

00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:27.240
 he didn't simply

00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:28.039
 read the book

00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:28.879
 as a place

00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:30.059
 to gain information

00:14:30.059 --> 00:14:31.179
 but he said

00:14:31.179 --> 00:14:32.059
 this book

00:14:32.059 --> 00:14:32.740
 is the rule

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:33.559
 of my life

00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:34.379
 this book

00:14:34.379 --> 00:14:35.480
 is God's instruction

00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:36.419
 on how I ought

00:14:36.419 --> 00:14:37.460
 to live my life

00:14:37.460 --> 00:14:38.539
 and so I will do

00:14:38.539 --> 00:14:40.299
 all that it says

00:14:40.299 --> 00:14:42.679
 and then thirdly

00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:44.200
 to teach

00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.340
 to teach his statutes

00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:47.220
 and rules

00:14:47.220 --> 00:14:48.980
 that he wants

00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:50.220
 to not only know it

00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:51.200
 and to do it

00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:52.220
 to be a man

00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:53.039
 who sits under

00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:53.700
 God's word

00:14:53.700 --> 00:14:54.360
 as he knows it

00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:55.340
 but to be one

00:14:55.340 --> 00:14:56.500
 who then overflows

00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:57.399
 with God's word

00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.019
 that others around him

00:14:59.019 --> 00:14:59.560
 might know

00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:00.500
 that his fellow

00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:02.080
 brother and sister

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:03.620
 Jews

00:15:03.620 --> 00:15:05.019
 the people of God

00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:05.779
 would know

00:15:05.779 --> 00:15:07.360
 what God's word says

00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.139
 and this is what we see

00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:11.860
 for Ezra

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:13.080
 God's word

00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:14.620
 was not an accessory

00:15:14.620 --> 00:15:16.300
 but it was a necessity

00:15:16.300 --> 00:15:17.600
 for his life

00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:19.639
 it was the title

00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:21.039
 that the king gave him

00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:22.360
 one who knew

00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:23.779
 God's law

00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:25.319
 now

00:15:25.319 --> 00:15:26.659
 we need to stop

00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:27.059
 and think

00:15:27.059 --> 00:15:28.000
 why was this

00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:28.879
 so important

00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:30.899
 wouldn't this

00:15:30.899 --> 00:15:31.860
 have been normal

00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:33.839
 well in fact

00:15:33.839 --> 00:15:34.439
 we know

00:15:34.439 --> 00:15:35.600
 that it was not

00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.039
 though God

00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:38.319
 had given his law

00:15:38.319 --> 00:15:39.480
 in many ways

00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:40.779
 and when you think

00:15:40.779 --> 00:15:42.019
 back to the covenant

00:15:42.019 --> 00:15:42.919
 that God made

00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:43.659
 with his people

00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:44.139
 and Moses

00:15:44.139 --> 00:15:45.240
 if you will obey

00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:45.939
 my commandments

00:15:45.939 --> 00:15:47.139
 and follow my laws

00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:48.139
 you will be my God

00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:49.419
 and I will be your people

00:15:49.419 --> 00:15:50.740
 yet we know

00:15:50.740 --> 00:15:51.460
 if you read

00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:52.820
 the story of Israel

00:15:52.820 --> 00:15:53.879
 that is

00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:54.940
 as the kingdom

00:15:54.940 --> 00:15:55.879
 was created

00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:57.000
 how quickly

00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:58.500
 the kings

00:15:58.500 --> 00:15:59.879
 of the northern kingdom

00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:00.500
 turned away

00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:01.379
 and the southern kingdom

00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:02.139
 following after

00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:03.180
 turned away

00:16:03.180 --> 00:16:04.039
 from the law

00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:04.700
 of God

00:16:04.700 --> 00:16:05.560
 and the instructions

00:16:05.560 --> 00:16:06.600
 that God had given them

00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:07.519
 how often

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.019
 they went

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:09.279
 their own way

00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:10.980
 how often

00:16:10.980 --> 00:16:12.460
 they neglected

00:16:12.460 --> 00:16:13.620
 the word of God

00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:14.500
 and trusted

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:15.860
 in their own thoughts

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:17.139
 and their own ideas

00:16:17.139 --> 00:16:18.139
 about

00:16:18.139 --> 00:16:19.699
 what it would mean

00:16:19.699 --> 00:16:21.019
 to be God's people

00:16:21.019 --> 00:16:23.120
 and it got so bad

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:23.759
 that when we get

00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:24.299
 to the end

00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:25.399
 of 2nd Chronicles

00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:26.600
 which is near the end

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:27.500
 of the history

00:16:27.500 --> 00:16:28.319
 of the kingdom

00:16:28.319 --> 00:16:30.120
 Josiah

00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:31.699
 is raised up

00:16:31.699 --> 00:16:32.299
 as a king

00:16:32.299 --> 00:16:33.379
 who loves God

00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:34.480
 and wants to know him

00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:35.840
 and during his reign

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.360
 the priest

00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:37.080
 found

00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:38.600
 the word of God

00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:40.100
 as if it had been

00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:41.100
 something that had been

00:16:41.100 --> 00:16:42.759
 left in some

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:44.340
 back storage room

00:16:44.340 --> 00:16:45.620
 and nobody knew

00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:46.279
 where it was

00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:47.220
 and nobody had been

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:47.699
 reading it

00:16:47.699 --> 00:16:48.480
 and no one

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:49.899
 knew what it said

00:16:49.899 --> 00:16:51.639
 for seemingly

00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:52.600
 generations

00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:55.259
 and he brings it

00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:56.139
 back to the people

00:16:56.139 --> 00:16:57.139
 and he reads it

00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:57.759
 to the people

00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:58.720
 and it leads them

00:16:58.720 --> 00:16:59.419
 to repentance

00:16:59.419 --> 00:17:00.639
 and a moment

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.360
 of renewal

00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.099
 and yet it does not

00:17:04.099 --> 00:17:04.680
 last

00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:05.660
 such that

00:17:05.660 --> 00:17:07.180
 just two chapters

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:08.700
 later in 2nd Chronicles

00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:09.460
 36

00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:11.779
 the writer says this

00:17:11.779 --> 00:17:13.019
 all the officers

00:17:13.019 --> 00:17:14.799
 of the priests

00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:16.000
 and the people

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:16.500
 likewise

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:17.740
 were exceedingly

00:17:17.740 --> 00:17:18.839
 unfaithful

00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:20.579
 following the

00:17:20.579 --> 00:17:21.299
 abominations

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:22.200
 of the nations

00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:23.379
 and they polluted

00:17:23.379 --> 00:17:24.399
 the house of the Lord

00:17:24.399 --> 00:17:25.519
 that he had made

00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:26.839
 holy in Jerusalem

00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:28.379
 and the prophet

00:17:28.379 --> 00:17:29.079
 Jeremiah

00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.059
 proclaiming

00:17:30.059 --> 00:17:31.059
 to the people

00:17:31.059 --> 00:17:32.059
 at the same time

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:32.919
 about the reason

00:17:32.919 --> 00:17:33.819
 for their judgment

00:17:33.819 --> 00:17:34.940
 said this

00:17:34.940 --> 00:17:36.500
 in Jeremiah 7

00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:37.159
 23

00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:38.400
 but this command

00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:39.220
 I gave them

00:17:39.220 --> 00:17:40.180
 obey my voice

00:17:40.180 --> 00:17:40.800
 and I will be

00:17:40.800 --> 00:17:41.240
 your God

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:42.160
 and you shall

00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:42.920
 be my people

00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:43.840
 and walk in the way

00:17:43.840 --> 00:17:44.860
 that I command you

00:17:44.860 --> 00:17:45.920
 that it may be

00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:46.680
 well with you

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.019
 but they did not

00:17:49.019 --> 00:17:49.440
 obey

00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:50.880
 or incline

00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:51.620
 their ear

00:17:51.620 --> 00:17:52.900
 but walked

00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:53.600
 in their own

00:17:53.600 --> 00:17:54.400
 counsels

00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:55.360
 and the stubbornness

00:17:55.360 --> 00:17:56.640
 of their evil hearts

00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.320
 and went backwards

00:17:58.320 --> 00:17:59.820
 and not forwards

00:17:59.820 --> 00:18:01.420
 from the day

00:18:01.420 --> 00:18:02.279
 that your fathers

00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:03.259
 came out of the land

00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:03.660
 of Egypt

00:18:03.660 --> 00:18:04.360
 to this day

00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:05.359
 I have persistently

00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:06.679
 sent all my servants

00:18:06.679 --> 00:18:07.259
 the prophets

00:18:07.259 --> 00:18:07.899
 to them

00:18:07.899 --> 00:18:09.159
 day after day

00:18:09.159 --> 00:18:10.339
 yet they did not

00:18:10.339 --> 00:18:11.179
 listen to me

00:18:11.179 --> 00:18:11.979
 or incline

00:18:11.979 --> 00:18:12.719
 their ear

00:18:12.719 --> 00:18:14.119
 but stiffened

00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:15.139
 their neck

00:18:15.139 --> 00:18:16.199
 they did worse

00:18:16.199 --> 00:18:17.959
 than their fathers

00:18:17.959 --> 00:18:20.759
 you see

00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:22.819
 as God was

00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:24.000
 reestablishing

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:24.679
 this people

00:18:24.679 --> 00:18:25.839
 he was trying

00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:26.719
 to heal

00:18:26.719 --> 00:18:28.219
 trying to repair

00:18:28.219 --> 00:18:28.679
 something

00:18:28.679 --> 00:18:29.740
 that had been broken

00:18:29.740 --> 00:18:31.479
 not just in the exile

00:18:31.479 --> 00:18:32.500
 but long

00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:33.740
 before the exile

00:18:33.740 --> 00:18:34.339
 happened

00:18:34.339 --> 00:18:35.579
 that God's people

00:18:35.579 --> 00:18:36.500
 had forsaken

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:37.619
 his word

00:18:37.619 --> 00:18:38.679
 and his instructions

00:18:38.679 --> 00:18:39.539
 and had

00:18:39.539 --> 00:18:41.000
 in their pride

00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:42.159
 in their arrogance

00:18:42.159 --> 00:18:44.159
 in their stiff neckness

00:18:44.159 --> 00:18:45.839
 in their independence

00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:46.839
 they had said

00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:48.959
 we want to do this

00:18:48.959 --> 00:18:49.679
 our way

00:18:49.679 --> 00:18:51.240
 not God's way

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:52.839
 and in fact

00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:53.720
 this was one of the

00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:54.879
 major reasons

00:18:54.879 --> 00:18:56.259
 why the exodus

00:18:56.259 --> 00:18:56.759
 happened

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:57.419
 and the judgment

00:18:57.419 --> 00:18:58.000
 came

00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.179
 because the people

00:18:59.179 --> 00:19:00.459
 would not turn

00:19:00.459 --> 00:19:02.139
 back to the Lord

00:19:02.139 --> 00:19:03.059
 and listen

00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:04.179
 to his word

00:19:04.180 --> 00:19:05.519
 and so

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:06.080
 as God

00:19:06.080 --> 00:19:06.720
 is bringing

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:07.259
 his people

00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:08.660
 back from the exodus

00:19:08.660 --> 00:19:09.640
 as he is

00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:10.519
 rebuilding

00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.340
 his people

00:19:11.340 --> 00:19:12.480
 in the promised land

00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:13.740
 as he is fulfilling

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.460
 the promises

00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:15.360
 that the people

00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:16.019
 may have thought

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:17.340
 were gone forever

00:19:17.340 --> 00:19:19.259
 God is saying

00:19:19.259 --> 00:19:20.700
 and I am going

00:19:20.700 --> 00:19:21.340
 to establish

00:19:21.340 --> 00:19:22.160
 my people

00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:23.039
 by putting

00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:24.019
 my word

00:19:24.019 --> 00:19:24.940
 in the center

00:19:24.940 --> 00:19:27.400
 of who you are

00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:29.039
 and how you live

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:34.339
 friends

00:19:34.339 --> 00:19:34.879
 I wonder

00:19:34.879 --> 00:19:37.619
 if we recognize

00:19:37.619 --> 00:19:39.279
 some of those

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:39.940
 characteristics

00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:40.980
 of Israel

00:19:40.980 --> 00:19:42.019
 in our own hearts

00:19:42.019 --> 00:19:44.799
 how often

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:45.440
 do we

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:46.039
 wonder

00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:46.619
 if God

00:19:46.619 --> 00:19:47.539
 is really right

00:19:47.539 --> 00:19:49.879
 in what he says

00:19:49.879 --> 00:19:51.980
 how often

00:19:51.980 --> 00:19:52.899
 do we think

00:19:52.899 --> 00:19:54.480
 I know how

00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:54.839
 to handle

00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:55.659
 this situation

00:19:55.659 --> 00:19:56.420
 I don't need

00:19:56.420 --> 00:19:57.139
 God's word

00:19:57.140 --> 00:19:58.160
 to tell me

00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:58.680
 how to do

00:19:58.680 --> 00:19:59.100
 this

00:19:59.100 --> 00:20:02.300
 how often

00:20:02.300 --> 00:20:03.060
 do we simply

00:20:03.060 --> 00:20:04.180
 get so busy

00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:07.000
 with the very

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.680
 mundane tasks

00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:09.500
 of our everyday

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:10.180
 lives

00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:12.240
 that we forget

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.080
 God's word

00:20:13.080 --> 00:20:15.020
 one day

00:20:15.020 --> 00:20:16.300
 two days

00:20:16.300 --> 00:20:18.040
 maybe a week

00:20:18.040 --> 00:20:19.840
 it turns into

00:20:19.840 --> 00:20:20.520
 a month

00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:25.480
 whether it's

00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.059
 benign neglect

00:20:27.059 --> 00:20:29.039
 or hard-hearted

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:30.000
 unwillingness

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.579
 to hear

00:20:30.579 --> 00:20:31.119
 what God

00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:31.720
 has to say

00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:32.099
 to us

00:20:32.099 --> 00:20:32.740
 when we want

00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:33.160
 to do

00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:33.639
 our own

00:20:33.639 --> 00:20:34.000
 thing

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:36.200
 how much

00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:37.400
 we are like

00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:38.339
 Israel

00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:39.180
 in this way

00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:41.460
 how often

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:42.299
 we forsake

00:20:42.299 --> 00:20:43.200
 God's word

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:48.180
 and yet

00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:50.100
 the good news

00:20:50.100 --> 00:20:50.640
 is that

00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:51.299
 just like

00:20:51.299 --> 00:20:51.840
 Israel

00:20:51.840 --> 00:20:53.640
 God is

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:54.160
 pursuing

00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:54.759
 us

00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:55.380
 to call

00:20:55.380 --> 00:20:55.640
 us

00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:56.460
 to himself

00:20:56.460 --> 00:20:58.519
 it's remarkable

00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:59.100
 when you look

00:20:59.100 --> 00:20:59.480
 through this

00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:00.880
 chapter 7

00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:01.980
 that the other

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:02.840
 theme besides

00:21:02.840 --> 00:21:04.100
 the establishment

00:21:04.100 --> 00:21:05.200
 of God's word

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:07.059
 is that

00:21:07.059 --> 00:21:07.779
 God

00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:08.720
 has done

00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:09.160
 this

00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:10.180
 God

00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:10.680
 moved

00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:11.220
 in the heart

00:21:11.220 --> 00:21:12.080
 of Artaxerxes

00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:13.679
 God's hand

00:21:13.679 --> 00:21:14.460
 was on

00:21:14.460 --> 00:21:14.939
 Ezra

00:21:14.939 --> 00:21:15.699
 God

00:21:15.699 --> 00:21:16.339
 provided

00:21:16.339 --> 00:21:16.919
 all the

00:21:16.919 --> 00:21:17.179
 things

00:21:17.179 --> 00:21:17.839
 necessary

00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:18.579
 for them

00:21:18.579 --> 00:21:19.439
 to return

00:21:19.439 --> 00:21:20.740
 the decree

00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:21.559
 of the king

00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:22.679
 the supplies

00:21:22.679 --> 00:21:23.460
 for the worship

00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:24.159
 in the temple

00:21:24.159 --> 00:21:25.099
 the freedom

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:26.019
 from taxation

00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:27.319
 in the land

00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:28.099
 beyond the river

00:21:28.099 --> 00:21:29.019
 which is basically

00:21:29.019 --> 00:21:29.619
 Jerusalem

00:21:29.619 --> 00:21:30.659
 and the promised

00:21:30.659 --> 00:21:31.319
 land again

00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:32.319
 that God

00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:32.960
 provided

00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:33.980
 all of these

00:21:33.980 --> 00:21:34.299
 things

00:21:34.299 --> 00:21:34.960
 so that

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:35.419
 they could

00:21:35.419 --> 00:21:36.199
 go and dwell

00:21:36.199 --> 00:21:36.960
 in the land

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:38.500
 and be provided

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:39.119
 for

00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:39.659
 so that

00:21:39.659 --> 00:21:39.980
 they could

00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:40.679
 focus

00:21:40.679 --> 00:21:41.740
 on

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:43.000
 knowing

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:43.680
 God

00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:45.440
 in his

00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:45.960
 word

00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:50.620
 just as

00:21:50.620 --> 00:21:51.019
 God's

00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:51.480
 hand

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:52.400
 worked

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:52.880
 through

00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:53.559
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:54.019
 to take

00:21:54.019 --> 00:21:54.400
 them into

00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:54.900
 exile

00:21:54.900 --> 00:21:55.900
 just as

00:21:55.900 --> 00:21:56.279
 God's

00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:56.640
 hand

00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:57.299
 had worked

00:21:57.299 --> 00:21:57.519
 through

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:57.920
 Cyrus

00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:58.420
 and

00:21:58.420 --> 00:21:59.420
 Darius

00:21:59.420 --> 00:22:00.579
 to return

00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:01.019
 them to

00:22:01.019 --> 00:22:01.539
 the land

00:22:01.539 --> 00:22:02.420
 now God

00:22:02.420 --> 00:22:03.460
 was raising

00:22:03.460 --> 00:22:03.779
 up

00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:04.160
 through

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:05.059
 Artaxerxes

00:22:05.059 --> 00:22:05.980
 Ezra

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:07.319
 to establish

00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:08.180
 the word

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:08.940
 among

00:22:08.940 --> 00:22:09.720
 the people

00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:14.380
 God

00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:15.039
 raised up

00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:15.559
 a man

00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:17.059
 who would

00:22:17.059 --> 00:22:17.500
 bring this

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:18.140
 to the people

00:22:18.140 --> 00:22:18.860
 in a special

00:22:18.860 --> 00:22:19.299
 way

00:22:19.299 --> 00:22:21.500
 and through

00:22:21.500 --> 00:22:21.880
 him

00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:22.580
 God was

00:22:22.580 --> 00:22:23.019
 saying to

00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:23.559
 his people

00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:24.420
 if you

00:22:24.420 --> 00:22:24.720
 are to

00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:25.140
 be my

00:22:25.140 --> 00:22:25.539
 people

00:22:25.539 --> 00:22:26.620
 you must

00:22:26.620 --> 00:22:27.299
 have

00:22:27.299 --> 00:22:27.960
 my word

00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:28.740
 and you

00:22:28.740 --> 00:22:29.360
 must make

00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:30.039
 it central

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:31.160
 to who

00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:31.940
 you are

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:32.820
 and I

00:22:32.820 --> 00:22:33.340
 will move

00:22:33.340 --> 00:22:33.779
 the heart

00:22:33.779 --> 00:22:34.420
 of kings

00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:35.580
 and kingdoms

00:22:35.579 --> 00:22:36.539
 so that

00:22:36.539 --> 00:22:36.859
 you

00:22:36.859 --> 00:22:37.099
 will

00:22:37.099 --> 00:22:37.419
 have

00:22:37.419 --> 00:22:37.679
 my

00:22:37.679 --> 00:22:38.039
 word

00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.819
 so we

00:22:40.819 --> 00:22:41.019
 see

00:22:41.019 --> 00:22:41.399
 this is

00:22:41.399 --> 00:22:41.919
 the next

00:22:41.919 --> 00:22:42.399
 building

00:22:42.399 --> 00:22:42.720
 block

00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:43.240
 just as

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:43.480
 through

00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:44.000
 Zerubbabel

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:44.799
 and

00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:45.399
 Yeshua

00:22:45.399 --> 00:22:46.579
 God

00:22:46.579 --> 00:22:47.639
 established

00:22:47.639 --> 00:22:48.179
 the people

00:22:48.179 --> 00:22:48.639
 back in

00:22:48.639 --> 00:22:48.939
 the land

00:22:48.939 --> 00:22:49.519
 they settled

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:49.939
 they built

00:22:49.939 --> 00:22:50.339
 the altar

00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:50.619
 in the

00:22:50.619 --> 00:22:50.859
 temple

00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:51.839
 now God

00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:52.599
 through

00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:53.019
 Ezra

00:22:53.019 --> 00:22:53.939
 is establishing

00:22:53.939 --> 00:22:54.759
 the word

00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:55.199
 of God

00:22:55.199 --> 00:22:55.899
 the law

00:22:55.899 --> 00:22:56.500
 in the

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:56.839
 people

00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:59.519
 and what

00:22:59.519 --> 00:22:59.839
 we will

00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:00.240
 see

00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:00.919
 in the

00:23:00.919 --> 00:23:01.220
 coming

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:01.639
 chapters

00:23:01.639 --> 00:23:02.059
 is God

00:23:02.059 --> 00:23:02.319
 is going

00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:02.759
 to keep

00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:03.119
 working

00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:03.759
 on other

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.399
 aspects

00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:05.200
 of the

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:05.640
 people

00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:06.280
 of God

00:23:06.280 --> 00:23:07.100
 their

00:23:07.100 --> 00:23:07.720
 dependence

00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:08.920
 on him

00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:10.340
 in prayer

00:23:10.340 --> 00:23:10.820
 and in

00:23:10.820 --> 00:23:11.259
 fasting

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:11.960
 we will

00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:12.259
 see

00:23:12.259 --> 00:23:12.720
 their

00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:13.720
 purification

00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:15.400
 of the

00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:15.840
 people

00:23:15.840 --> 00:23:16.780
 at the

00:23:16.780 --> 00:23:17.100
 end of

00:23:17.100 --> 00:23:17.440
 the

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:18.420
 book

00:23:18.420 --> 00:23:18.980
 of Ezra

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:20.160
 as he

00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:20.680
 addresses

00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:21.080
 some of

00:23:21.080 --> 00:23:21.360
 the ways

00:23:21.360 --> 00:23:21.600
 that they

00:23:21.600 --> 00:23:21.759
 have

00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:22.220
 wandered

00:23:22.220 --> 00:23:22.519
 from

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:22.740
 his

00:23:22.740 --> 00:23:23.160
 law

00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:24.740
 this

00:23:24.740 --> 00:23:25.000
 is what

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:25.160
 we will

00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:25.400
 see

00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:25.759
 for the

00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:26.019
 rest

00:23:26.019 --> 00:23:26.259
 of the

00:23:26.259 --> 00:23:26.420
 book

00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:26.840
 of Ezra

00:23:26.840 --> 00:23:27.320
 as God

00:23:27.320 --> 00:23:28.040
 in these

00:23:28.040 --> 00:23:28.480
 building

00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:29.060
 blocks

00:23:29.060 --> 00:23:30.340
 continuing

00:23:30.340 --> 00:23:30.680
 to

00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:31.660
 reestablish

00:23:31.660 --> 00:23:31.880
 his

00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:32.280
 people

00:23:32.280 --> 00:23:32.759
 to be

00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:33.220
 the people

00:23:33.220 --> 00:23:33.620
 that God

00:23:33.620 --> 00:23:34.019
 had called

00:23:34.019 --> 00:23:34.200
 them

00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:34.620
 to be

00:23:34.620 --> 00:23:36.559
 but we

00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:36.960
 see

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:37.440
 however

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:38.319
 that this

00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:38.680
 is not

00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:39.059
 just

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:39.279
 an

00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:39.940
 isolated

00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:40.500
 incident

00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:41.019
 in the

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:41.460
 storyline

00:23:41.460 --> 00:23:41.880
 of the

00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:42.680
 scriptures

00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:43.620
 this is

00:23:43.620 --> 00:23:43.819
 not

00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:44.240
 simply

00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:44.539
 how

00:23:44.539 --> 00:23:44.900
 God

00:23:44.900 --> 00:23:45.120
 was

00:23:45.120 --> 00:23:45.700
 restoring

00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:45.960
 what

00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:46.160
 was

00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:46.539
 broken

00:23:46.539 --> 00:23:47.200
 in

00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:47.720
 Israel

00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:48.100
 at

00:23:48.100 --> 00:23:48.380
 that

00:23:48.380 --> 00:23:48.880
 time

00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:50.420
 but we

00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:50.640
 see

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:50.860
 that

00:23:50.860 --> 00:23:51.080
 God

00:23:51.080 --> 00:23:51.259
 is

00:23:51.259 --> 00:23:51.759
 always

00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:52.940
 establishing

00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:53.240
 his

00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:53.600
 people

00:23:53.600 --> 00:23:54.779
 through

00:23:54.779 --> 00:23:55.299
 the

00:23:55.299 --> 00:23:55.700
 scriptures

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:56.380
 through

00:23:56.380 --> 00:23:56.779
 his

00:23:56.779 --> 00:23:57.380
 word

00:23:57.380 --> 00:23:58.900
 and

00:23:58.900 --> 00:23:59.400
 specifically

00:23:59.400 --> 00:23:59.880
 now

00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:00.480
 for us

00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:00.900
 in the

00:24:00.900 --> 00:24:01.240
 church

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:01.640
 age

00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:02.140
 today

00:24:02.140 --> 00:24:02.840
 this

00:24:02.840 --> 00:24:03.000
 is

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:03.360
 still

00:24:03.360 --> 00:24:03.620
 what

00:24:03.620 --> 00:24:03.940
 God

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:04.120
 is

00:24:04.120 --> 00:24:04.480
 doing

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:04.920
 among

00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:05.460
 us

00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:06.780
 think

00:24:06.780 --> 00:24:07.000
 with

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:07.200
 me

00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:07.500
 about

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:07.740
 the

00:24:07.740 --> 00:24:08.360
 sweep

00:24:08.360 --> 00:24:08.540
 of

00:24:08.540 --> 00:24:08.700
 what

00:24:08.700 --> 00:24:08.880
 we

00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:09.240
 see

00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:09.380
 in

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:09.520
 the

00:24:09.520 --> 00:24:09.780
 rest

00:24:09.780 --> 00:24:09.920
 of

00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:10.080
 the

00:24:10.080 --> 00:24:10.420
 Bible

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:11.160
 about

00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:11.420
 the

00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:11.780
 word

00:24:11.780 --> 00:24:12.980
 we

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:13.240
 see

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:13.500
 that

00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:14.240
 the

00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:14.660
 church

00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:15.180
 was

00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:16.180
 foretold

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:16.519
 to

00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:16.680
 be

00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:18.560
 to

00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:19.279
 to

00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:20.519
 be

00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:20.640
 to

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:20.799
 be

00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:21.799
 a

00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:22.100
 place

00:24:22.100 --> 00:24:22.279
 where

00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:22.600
 God

00:24:22.600 --> 00:24:23.240
 would

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:23.759
 dwell

00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:24.200
 among

00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:24.519
 his

00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:24.799
 people

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:25.360
 in

00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:25.640
 the

00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:26.100
 law

00:24:26.100 --> 00:24:26.640
 within

00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:27.060
 them

00:24:27.060 --> 00:24:27.220
 and

00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:27.340
 I

00:24:27.340 --> 00:24:27.500
 will

00:24:27.500 --> 00:24:27.960
 write

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:28.140
 it

00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:28.320
 on

00:24:28.320 --> 00:24:28.500
 their

00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:29.100
 hearts

00:24:29.100 --> 00:24:31.259
 and

00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:31.420
 I

00:24:31.420 --> 00:24:31.580
 will

00:24:31.580 --> 00:24:31.740
 be

00:24:31.740 --> 00:24:31.940
 their

00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:32.340
 God

00:24:32.340 --> 00:24:32.519
 and

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:32.840
 they

00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:33.160
 shall

00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:33.440
 be

00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:33.740
 my

00:24:33.740 --> 00:24:34.160
 people

00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:35.620
 and

00:24:35.620 --> 00:24:35.900
 then

00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:36.380
 as

00:24:36.380 --> 00:24:36.779
 Jesus

00:24:36.779 --> 00:24:37.279
 comes

00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:37.660
 on

00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:37.880
 the

00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:38.320
 scene

00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:38.740
 and

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:38.880
 as

00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:39.299
 enters

00:24:39.299 --> 00:24:39.640
 into

00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:39.860
 his

00:24:39.860 --> 00:24:40.299
 ministry

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:40.460
 and

00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:40.600
 is

00:24:40.600 --> 00:24:40.779
 sent

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:40.980
 out

00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:41.160
 into

00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:41.360
 the

00:24:41.360 --> 00:24:41.660
 wilderness

00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:41.940
 and

00:24:41.940 --> 00:24:42.100
 is

00:24:42.100 --> 00:24:42.500
 tempted

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:43.440
 by

00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:43.680
 the

00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:44.200
 tempter

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:45.860
 he

00:24:45.860 --> 00:24:46.420
 turns

00:24:46.420 --> 00:24:46.580
 and

00:24:46.580 --> 00:24:46.759
 the

00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:47.100
 first

00:24:47.100 --> 00:24:47.380
 thing

00:24:47.380 --> 00:24:47.559
 that

00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:47.700
 he

00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:48.080
 says

00:24:48.080 --> 00:24:48.299
 to

00:24:48.299 --> 00:24:48.600
 them

00:24:48.600 --> 00:24:49.340
 to

00:24:49.340 --> 00:24:49.559
 him

00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:49.700
 in

00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:50.279
 response

00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:50.500
 to

00:24:50.500 --> 00:24:50.660
 the

00:24:50.660 --> 00:24:51.160
 temptation

00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:51.740
 to

00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:51.960
 do

00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:52.299
 things

00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:52.840
 outside

00:24:52.840 --> 00:24:53.140
 of

00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:53.500
 God's

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:53.799
 plan

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:54.039
 is

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:54.519
 this

00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:57.200
 man

00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:57.519
 shall

00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:57.740
 not

00:24:57.740 --> 00:24:58.140
 live

00:24:58.140 --> 00:24:58.340
 by

00:24:58.340 --> 00:24:58.620
 bread

00:24:58.620 --> 00:24:59.059
 alone

00:24:59.059 --> 00:24:59.539
 but

00:24:59.539 --> 00:24:59.740
 by

00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:00.319
 every

00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:00.840
 word

00:25:00.840 --> 00:25:01.539
 that

00:25:01.539 --> 00:25:02.019
 comes

00:25:02.019 --> 00:25:02.279
 from

00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:02.480
 the

00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:02.840
 mouth

00:25:02.840 --> 00:25:03.160
 of

00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:03.640
 God

00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:05.880
 Jesus

00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:06.600
 as

00:25:06.600 --> 00:25:06.759
 he

00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:07.259
 enters

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:07.500
 into

00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:07.720
 his

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:08.220
 ministry

00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:08.799
 is

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.500
 establishing

00:25:09.500 --> 00:25:10.360
 this

00:25:10.360 --> 00:25:10.519
 is

00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:10.700
 what

00:25:10.700 --> 00:25:10.860
 it

00:25:10.860 --> 00:25:11.200
 means

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:11.680
 first

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:11.799
 of

00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:11.880
 all

00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:12.120
 he's

00:25:12.120 --> 00:25:12.580
 quoting

00:25:12.580 --> 00:25:12.860
 from

00:25:12.860 --> 00:25:13.420
 Deuteronomy

00:25:13.420 --> 00:25:13.700
 8

00:25:13.700 --> 00:25:14.019
 he's

00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:14.440
 using

00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:14.680
 the

00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:14.940
 Old

00:25:14.940 --> 00:25:15.259
 Testament

00:25:15.259 --> 00:25:15.779
 scriptures

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:16.440
 to

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:16.960
 combat

00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:17.259
 this

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:17.819
 temptation

00:25:17.819 --> 00:25:18.160
 to

00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:18.660
 forsake

00:25:18.660 --> 00:25:19.059
 God's

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:19.580
 ways

00:25:19.580 --> 00:25:20.360
 but

00:25:20.360 --> 00:25:20.539
 then

00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:20.700
 the

00:25:20.700 --> 00:25:20.940
 very

00:25:20.940 --> 00:25:21.220
 thing

00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:21.360
 that

00:25:21.360 --> 00:25:21.519
 he

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:22.000
 quotes

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:22.160
 is

00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:22.340
 to

00:25:22.340 --> 00:25:22.660
 say

00:25:22.660 --> 00:25:23.720
 we

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.259
 cannot

00:25:24.259 --> 00:25:25.080
 live

00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:26.200
 apart

00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:26.500
 from

00:25:26.500 --> 00:25:27.039
 God's

00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:27.480
 word

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:28.720
 just

00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:28.940
 as

00:25:28.940 --> 00:25:29.400
 bread

00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:29.600
 is

00:25:29.600 --> 00:25:30.279
 necessary

00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:30.779
 to

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:31.200
 sustain

00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:31.420
 our

00:25:31.420 --> 00:25:31.740
 physical

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:32.340
 bodies

00:25:32.340 --> 00:25:33.059
 so

00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:33.240
 it

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:33.460
 is

00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:33.620
 that

00:25:33.620 --> 00:25:33.819
 the

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:34.160
 word

00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:34.380
 of

00:25:34.380 --> 00:25:34.819
 God

00:25:34.819 --> 00:25:35.299
 the

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:35.759
 scriptures

00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:36.039
 are

00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:36.900
 necessary

00:25:36.900 --> 00:25:37.900
 for

00:25:37.900 --> 00:25:38.340
 us

00:25:38.340 --> 00:25:40.000
 spiritually

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.460
 to

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:41.039
 flourish

00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:41.380
 and

00:25:41.380 --> 00:25:41.600
 to

00:25:41.600 --> 00:25:42.080
 live

00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:44.339
 we

00:25:44.339 --> 00:25:44.639
 see

00:25:44.639 --> 00:25:44.879
 this

00:25:44.879 --> 00:25:45.079
 as

00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:45.299
 God

00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:46.339
 establishes

00:25:46.339 --> 00:25:47.240
 the

 church

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:48.439
 in

00:25:48.439 --> 00:25:48.839
 Acts

00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:49.519

00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.700
 will we

00:27:51.700 --> 00:27:52.319
 continue to

00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:52.680
 try to

00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:53.079
 cook our

00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:53.460
 salmon

00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:55.620
 without a

00:27:55.620 --> 00:27:55.759
 meat

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:56.220
 thermometer

00:27:56.220 --> 00:27:59.160
 will we

00:27:59.160 --> 00:27:59.840
 continue to

00:27:59.840 --> 00:28:00.980
 try to

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:01.779
 know God

00:28:01.779 --> 00:28:03.039
 and ignore

00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:03.880
 his word

00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:04.640
 to us

00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:06.559
 we

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:07.360
 continue to

00:28:07.360 --> 00:28:08.559
 try to

00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:09.220
 find our

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:09.700
 way

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:10.720
 spiritually

00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:11.519
 and yet

00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:12.200
 ignore

00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:13.099
 the very

00:28:13.099 --> 00:28:13.579
 thing that

00:28:13.579 --> 00:28:13.900
 God has

00:28:13.900 --> 00:28:14.460
 given us

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:14.720
 his

00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:15.420
 revelation

00:28:15.420 --> 00:28:16.299
 to us

00:28:16.299 --> 00:28:20.420
 do we

00:28:20.420 --> 00:28:21.279
 believe

00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.599
 with

00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:24.339
 desperate

00:28:24.339 --> 00:28:24.960
 need

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:27.019
 that God's

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:27.380
 word is

00:28:27.380 --> 00:28:27.940
 essential

00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:29.400
 to

00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:29.620
 our

00:28:29.620 --> 00:28:30.200
 lives

00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:31.360
 or do

00:28:31.360 --> 00:28:31.480
 we

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:31.900
 see it

00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:32.059
 as

00:28:32.059 --> 00:28:32.480
 simply

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:33.340
 accessory

00:28:33.340 --> 00:28:35.640
 you know

00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:36.120
 I recall

00:28:36.120 --> 00:28:36.720
 sitting with

00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:37.180
 a woman

00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:39.299
 who was

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:40.200
 facing a

00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:40.500
 terminal

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:41.059
 illness

00:28:41.059 --> 00:28:45.019
 as we

00:28:45.019 --> 00:28:45.440
 were talking

00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:45.940
 about her

00:28:45.940 --> 00:28:46.360
 life and

00:28:46.360 --> 00:28:46.720
 how she

00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:47.180
 was doing

00:28:47.180 --> 00:28:47.500
 it was

00:28:47.500 --> 00:28:48.059
 remarkable

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:49.440
 her joy

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:52.320
 her happiness

00:28:52.320 --> 00:28:54.680
 her contentment

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:56.240
 and you

00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:56.480
 know one

00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:56.600
 of the

00:28:56.600 --> 00:28:56.960
 things she

00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:57.600
 said is

00:28:57.600 --> 00:28:58.640
 I've been

00:28:58.640 --> 00:28:58.960
 in a lot

00:28:58.960 --> 00:28:59.320
 of pain

00:28:59.320 --> 00:28:59.840
 recently

00:28:59.840 --> 00:29:02.640
 I'm glad

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:03.140
 I studied

00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:03.519
 God's

00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:04.120
 word before

00:29:04.120 --> 00:29:04.980
 because I

00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:05.440
 can't do

00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:05.880
 it now

00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:07.039
 I can't

00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:07.380
 focus

00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:07.940
 I can't

00:29:07.940 --> 00:29:08.460
 concentrate

00:29:08.460 --> 00:29:10.560
 but it

00:29:10.560 --> 00:29:11.080
 was so

00:29:11.080 --> 00:29:11.860
 clear that

00:29:11.860 --> 00:29:12.299
 God's

00:29:12.299 --> 00:29:12.799
 word had

00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:13.440
 been so

00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:14.160
 established

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:14.660
 in her

00:29:14.660 --> 00:29:15.060
 heart

00:29:15.060 --> 00:29:16.060
 that as

00:29:16.060 --> 00:29:16.779
 she faced

00:29:16.779 --> 00:29:17.420
 what is

00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:19.019
 for all

00:29:19.019 --> 00:29:19.400
 of us

00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:19.759
 one of

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:20.460
 the hardest

00:29:20.460 --> 00:29:21.220
 things in

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:21.680
 life

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.799
 God's

00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:24.019
 word

00:29:24.019 --> 00:29:24.840
 established

00:29:24.840 --> 00:29:25.220
 her

00:29:25.220 --> 00:29:28.900
 it's a

00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:29.320
 remarkable

00:29:29.320 --> 00:29:29.860
 thing

00:29:29.860 --> 00:29:32.960
 so the

00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:33.539
 question for

00:29:33.539 --> 00:29:33.900
 us is

00:29:33.900 --> 00:29:34.279
 will we

00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:34.759
 be

00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:36.580
 those who

00:29:36.580 --> 00:29:37.019
 follow in

00:29:37.019 --> 00:29:37.440
 the pattern

00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:38.060
 of Ezra

00:29:38.060 --> 00:29:39.140
 will we

00:29:39.140 --> 00:29:39.600
 be women

00:29:39.600 --> 00:29:40.180
 and men

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:40.860
 who study

00:29:40.860 --> 00:29:42.180
 the word

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:42.660
 of God

00:29:42.660 --> 00:29:43.380
 who do

00:29:43.380 --> 00:29:43.960
 the word

00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:44.460
 of God

00:29:44.460 --> 00:29:45.259
 and who

00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:45.700
 teach

00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:46.279
 the word

00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:46.759
 of God

00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:50.759
 now

00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:51.859
 you may

00:29:51.859 --> 00:29:52.259
 be sitting

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:52.460
 there

00:29:52.460 --> 00:29:52.720
 saying

00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:53.099
 yes

00:29:53.099 --> 00:29:53.819
 but I

00:29:53.819 --> 00:29:53.920
 don't

00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:54.019
 know

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:54.119
 where

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:54.240

00:29:57.460 --> 00:29:59.220
 first

 really

00:30:26.299 --> 00:30:26.539
 for

00:30:26.539 --> 00:30:26.779
 some

 of

00:30:26.940 --> 00:30:27.180
 you

00:30:27.180 --> 00:30:27.619
 that

00:30:27.619 --> 00:30:27.779
 you

00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:32.500
 okay

00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:32.839
 but I

00:34:06.179 --> 00:34:06.439
 make

00:34:06.439 --> 00:34:06.799
 reading

00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:07.059
 my

00:34:07.059 --> 00:34:07.399
 Bible

00:34:07.399 --> 00:34:08.079
 the

00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:08.639
 first

00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:09.139
 thing

00:34:09.139 --> 00:34:09.480
 that I

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:09.799
 do

00:34:09.799 --> 00:34:10.059
 in

00:34:10.059 --> 00:34:10.199
 the

00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:10.500
 morning

00:34:10.500 --> 00:34:11.559
 and

00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:11.799
 I

00:34:11.799 --> 00:34:12.099
 know

00:34:12.099 --> 00:34:12.360
 if

00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:12.539
 you

00:34:12.539 --> 00:34:12.759
 have

00:34:12.759 --> 00:34:12.900
 a

00:34:12.900 --> 00:34:13.179
 screaming

00:34:13.179 --> 00:34:13.559
 baby

00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:14.079
 it's

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:14.279
 not

00:34:14.279 --> 00:34:14.440
 going

00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:14.460
 to

00:34:14.460 --> 00:34:14.559
 be

00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:14.699
 the

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:14.940
 first

00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:15.139
 thing

00:34:15.139 --> 00:34:15.239
 in

00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:15.340
 the

00:34:15.340 --> 00:34:15.559
 morning

00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:15.799
 you're

00:34:15.799 --> 00:34:15.900
 going

00:34:15.900 --> 00:34:15.980
 to

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:16.139
 get

00:34:16.139 --> 00:34:16.319
 to

00:34:16.319 --> 00:34:16.639
 do

00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:17.699
 but

00:34:17.699 --> 00:34:18.000
 make

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:18.139
 it

00:34:18.139 --> 00:34:18.380
 the

00:34:18.380 --> 00:34:18.920
 first

00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:19.319
 thing

00:34:19.319 --> 00:34:19.539
 you

00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:19.900
 do

00:34:19.900 --> 00:34:20.299
 when

00:34:20.299 --> 00:34:20.440
 you

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:20.659
 have

00:34:20.659 --> 00:34:20.860
 the

00:34:25.340 --> 00:34:25.840
 Bible

00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:29.360
 and

00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:29.700
 friends

00:34:29.700 --> 00:34:29.980
 it's

00:34:29.980 --> 00:34:30.260
 not

00:34:30.260 --> 00:34:30.880
 just

00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:31.760
 reading

00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:32.100
 it

00:34:32.100 --> 00:34:33.440
 but

00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:33.620
 it's

00:34:33.620 --> 00:34:33.880
 also

00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:34.460
 meditating

00:34:34.460 --> 00:34:34.980
 on

00:34:34.980 --> 00:34:35.220
 it

00:34:35.220 --> 00:34:37.260
 the

00:34:37.260 --> 00:34:37.519
 Bible

00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:37.880
 isn't

00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:38.140
 just

00:34:38.140 --> 00:34:38.320
 a

00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:38.660
 data

00:34:38.660 --> 00:34:38.960
 book

00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:39.180
 for

00:34:39.180 --> 00:34:39.360
 us

00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:39.519
 to

00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:39.820
 get

00:34:39.820 --> 00:34:40.320
 info

00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:40.620
 out

00:34:40.620 --> 00:34:40.900
 of

00:34:40.900 --> 00:34:43.000
 and

00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:43.160
 so

00:34:43.160 --> 00:34:43.340
 we're

00:34:43.340 --> 00:34:43.840
 meant

00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:44.059
 to

00:34:44.059 --> 00:34:44.340
 read

00:34:44.340 --> 00:34:44.460
 it

00:34:44.460 --> 00:34:44.600
 and

00:34:44.600 --> 00:34:44.760
 to

00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:45.079
 chew

00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:45.280
 on

00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:45.380
 it

00:34:45.380 --> 00:34:45.539
 and

00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:45.680
 to

00:34:45.680 --> 00:34:46.000
 think

00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:46.340
 about

00:34:46.340 --> 00:34:46.600
 it

00:34:46.600 --> 00:34:48.039
 so

00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:48.180
 how

00:34:48.180 --> 00:34:48.300
 do

00:34:48.300 --> 00:34:48.440
 you

00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:48.640
 keep

00:34:48.640 --> 00:34:48.980
 God's

00:34:48.980 --> 00:34:49.120
 word

00:34:49.120 --> 00:34:49.280
 in

00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:49.440
 front

00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:49.539
 of

00:34:49.539 --> 00:34:49.640
 you

00:34:49.640 --> 00:34:49.920
 during

00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:50.100
 the

00:34:50.100 --> 00:34:50.420
 day

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:51.500
 do

00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:51.620
 you

00:34:51.620 --> 00:34:51.940
 put

00:34:51.940 --> 00:34:53.280
 post

00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:53.440
 it

00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:53.640
 on

00:34:53.640 --> 00:34:53.780
 your

00:34:53.780 --> 00:34:54.220

00:34:54.220 --> 00:34:54.440
 in

00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:54.539
 the

00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:54.800
 morning

00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:55.039
 while

00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:55.240
 you're

00:34:55.340 --> 00:34:55.620
 shaving

00:34:55.620 --> 00:34:55.840
 that

00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:56.039
 have

00:34:56.039 --> 00:34:56.420
 scripture

00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:56.840
 so

00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:57.000
 that

00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:57.100
 you

00:34:57.100 --> 00:34:57.260
 can

00:34:57.260 --> 00:34:57.660
 remember

00:34:57.660 --> 00:34:58.120
 God's

00:34:58.120 --> 00:34:58.440

00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:00.220
 saver

00:35:00.220 --> 00:35:00.480
 the

00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:00.680
 thing

00:35:00.680 --> 00:35:00.900
 that

00:35:00.900 --> 00:35:01.519
 when

00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:01.720
 your

00:35:01.720 --> 00:35:02.059

00:35:02.059 --> 00:35:02.300
 goes

00:35:02.300 --> 00:35:02.600
 blank

00:35:02.600 --> 00:35:02.800
 what

00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:03.120
 comes

00:35:03.120 --> 00:35:03.460
 up

00:35:03.460 --> 00:35:04.200
 put

00:35:04.200 --> 00:35:04.620
 God's

00:35:04.620 --> 00:35:04.900
 word

00:35:04.900 --> 00:35:05.180
 on

00:35:05.180 --> 00:35:05.440
 it

00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:07.539
 if

00:35:07.539 --> 00:35:07.660
 you

00:35:07.660 --> 00:35:07.820
 want

00:35:07.820 --> 00:35:07.960
 a

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:08.300
 devotion

00:35:08.300 --> 00:35:08.579
 that

00:35:08.579 --> 00:35:09.059
 helps

00:35:09.059 --> 00:35:09.240
 you

00:35:09.240 --> 00:35:09.780
 meditate

00:35:09.780 --> 00:35:10.059
 on

 God's

 Spurgeon's

00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:12.079
 morning

00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:12.300
 and

00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:13.100
 a

00:35:13.100 --> 00:35:13.800
 beautiful

00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:15.360
 short

00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:16.220
 devotional

00:35:16.220 --> 00:35:16.620
 reading

00:35:16.620 --> 00:35:17.100
 to just

00:35:17.100 --> 00:35:17.360
 read

00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:17.900
 alongside

00:35:17.900 --> 00:35:18.480
 God's

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:18.740
 word

00:35:18.740 --> 00:35:19.200
 where

00:35:19.200 --> 00:35:19.360
 he

00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:19.559
 will

00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:19.860
 help

00:35:19.860 --> 00:35:20.039
 you

00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:20.539
 think

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:21.059
 deeply

00:35:21.059 --> 00:35:21.380
 about

00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:21.559
 a

00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:22.079
 small

00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:22.579
 portion

00:35:22.579 --> 00:35:22.780
 of

00:35:22.780 --> 00:35:23.800

00:35:25.100 --> 00:35:25.580
 minutes

00:35:25.580 --> 00:35:27.360
 and

00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:27.740
 again

00:35:27.740 --> 00:35:28.120
 there's

00:35:28.120 --> 00:35:28.240
 an

00:35:28.240 --> 00:35:28.420
 app

00:35:28.420 --> 00:35:28.600
 for

00:35:28.600 --> 00:35:28.880
 that

00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:29.440
 if

00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:29.620
 you

00:35:29.620 --> 00:35:30.480
 can't

00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:30.660
 get

00:35:30.660 --> 00:35:31.140
 the

00:35:31.140 --> 00:35:31.400
 book

00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:31.780
 part

00:35:31.780 --> 00:35:32.120
 there's

00:35:32.120 --> 00:35:32.240
 an

00:35:32.240 --> 00:35:32.480
 app

00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:32.780
 for

00:35:32.780 --> 00:35:32.940
 it

00:35:32.940 --> 00:35:33.200
 that

00:35:33.200 --> 00:35:33.320
 you

00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:33.480
 can

00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:33.680
 get

00:35:33.680 --> 00:35:33.900

00:35:33.900 --> 00:35:34.340
 free

00:35:34.340 --> 00:35:35.820
 meditate

00:35:35.820 --> 00:35:36.160
 on

00:35:36.160 --> 00:35:36.500
 God's

 word

00:35:36.720 --> 00:35:36.940
 in

00:35:36.940 --> 00:35:37.100
 your

00:35:37.100 --> 00:35:37.380

00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:37.620
 life

00:35:37.620 --> 00:35:37.800
 but

00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:38.100
 meditate

00:35:38.100 --> 00:35:38.380
 on

 God's

00:35:38.820 --> 00:35:38.960
 in

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:39.080
 our

00:35:39.080 --> 00:35:39.580
 community

00:35:39.580 --> 00:35:39.860
 as

00:35:39.860 --> 00:35:40.160
 well

00:35:40.160 --> 00:35:41.080
 obviously

00:35:41.080 --> 00:35:41.340
 I'm

00:35:41.340 --> 00:35:41.580
 preaching

00:35:41.580 --> 00:35:41.760
 to

00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:41.880
 the

00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:42.140
 crowd

00:35:42.140 --> 00:35:42.480
 because

00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:42.680
 you're

00:35:42.680 --> 00:35:42.940
 here

00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:43.480
 but

00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:44.000
 make

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:44.360
 sure

00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:44.600
 that

00:35:44.600 --> 00:35:44.740
 you

 his

00:41:55.740 --> 00:41:55.980
 word

00:41:55.980 --> 00:41:56.180

 more

00:41:56.640 --> 00:41:57.220
 desired

00:41:57.220 --> 00:41:59.240
 than

 gold

00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:00.500
 even

00:42:00.500 --> 00:42:00.880
 much

00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:01.280
 fine

00:42:02.580 --> 00:42:02.720
 we

00:42:02.720 --> 00:42:02.900
 would

00:42:02.900 --> 00:42:03.220
 find

00:42:03.220 --> 00:42:03.360
 it

00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:03.840
 sweeter

00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:04.280
 also

00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:04.539
 than

00:42:04.539 --> 00:42:04.940
 honey

00:42:04.940 --> 00:42:05.760
 and

 drippings

00:42:06.300 --> 00:42:07.059
 of

00:42:07.420 --> 00:42:07.740
 comb

00:42:07.740 --> 00:42:10.300

00:42:10.300 --> 00:42:10.720
 friends

00:42:10.720 --> 00:42:11.619
 as we

00:42:11.619 --> 00:42:13.460
 stop

00:42:13.460 --> 00:42:13.880
 here

00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:14.619
 as we

00:42:14.619 --> 00:42:14.960
 finish

00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:15.559
 come to

00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:15.720
 the

00:42:15.720 --> 00:42:16.179
 conclusion

00:42:16.179 --> 00:42:16.400
 of

00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:17.280
 let us

00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:17.700
 remember

00:42:17.700 --> 00:42:18.200
 however

00:42:18.200 --> 00:42:19.480
 that we

00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:19.780
 do not

00:42:19.780 --> 00:42:20.099
 worship

00:42:20.099 --> 00:42:20.599
 a book

00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:21.340
 but we

00:42:21.340 --> 00:42:21.639
 worship

00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:22.200
 a God

00:42:22.200 --> 00:42:23.519
 and so

00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:24.639
 in

00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:24.960
 Hebrews

00:42:28.099 --> 00:42:28.300
 ways

00:42:28.300 --> 00:42:28.519
 God
