00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.960
 put your hands up if you've been Christmas shopping yet.

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:09.400
 Put your hands up if you've done all your Christmas shopping yet.

00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.320
 Put your hands up if the mention of Christmas shopping

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.140
 and yet in the same sentence fills your stomach with sickness, dread and nausea.

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:23.480
 I read an article, and this is true,

00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:29.600
 there is a union that has claimed that retail workers can be traumatised

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:35.760
 by repetitive Christmas songs being played relentlessly in shops.

00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:36.460
 Let me read it to you.

00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.439
 It's the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers

00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.439
 has asked that retailers choose a more varied selection of music

00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:49.079
 and to start playing Christmas songs a bit later.

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:50.540
 How about never?

00:00:50.540 --> 00:00:56.380
 It claimed that constant repetition of Christmas songs in shops

00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:59.140
 is damaging the mental health of some workers.

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.180
 It is also said that some workers have become traumatised

00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:07.200
 by jingle bells and mistletoe and wine.

00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:12.879
 Clinical psychologist Linda Blair said,

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.379
 Christmas music is likely to irritate people

00:01:16.379 --> 00:01:20.020
 if it's played too loudly and too early.

00:01:20.540 --> 00:01:22.859
 It might make us feel that we're trapped.

00:01:22.859 --> 00:01:28.480
 It's a reminder that we have to buy presents, cater for people and organise celebrations.

00:01:31.379 --> 00:01:36.099
 You know, with music, and it's not just true of Christmas music being played in shops,

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:42.680
 but music anywhere, at any time, it can get its way into our minds, into our hearts,

00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.359
 in a good way as well as an unhelpful way.

00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:51.840
 But you notice if you listen to a song, maybe you might not even notice that it's lodged itself in you

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.560
 and you carry it around with you so that where you go, you're humming it

00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.700
 and then you suddenly notice someone else is humming it as well.

00:01:57.780 --> 00:01:58.640
 Have you ever had that happen?

00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:00.719
 It's like there's a soundtrack.

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:05.260
 A piece of music can become a soundtrack to your life,

00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:07.640
 that wherever you go, you get in the car and you're driving along

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.960
 and you haven't even switched anything on and yet that song, it suddenly appears.

00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.699
 Music can have that impact on us.

00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:19.860
 And to the extent that we could say that we carry around with a soundtrack all the time,

00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.000
 it can actually affect our mood.

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.560
 What I want us to think about over these next few minutes is a different type of soundtrack.

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.780
 Not music, but more just mood.

00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:35.659
 The sort of stuff that we carry around in our hearts, in our minds,

00:02:36.379 --> 00:02:41.759
 that kind of shapes the way that we live, our mindset, our outlook.

00:02:42.580 --> 00:02:48.819
 Because the way we tend to carry around dominant themes in our thinking processes

00:02:48.819 --> 00:02:52.099
 will shape and determine the way we live our lives.

00:02:52.099 --> 00:02:55.859
 We might not even be aware that we're doing it,

00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.539
 but we can carry around in our minds certain thoughts,

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:03.959
 certain recurring thoughts, certain images, certain dominant themes,

00:03:05.139 --> 00:03:08.500
 such that every decision, every conversation, everything,

00:03:08.780 --> 00:03:11.479
 when we're on our own, we can become driven by it,

00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:15.959
 but we are dominated by a sort of like a mental soundtrack

00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.500
 that defines how we go about our daily lives.

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.780
 The question I want to ask you is, what's your soundtrack?

00:03:28.180 --> 00:03:31.600
 The passage we had read this morning from the Book of Acts,

00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:33.159
 it comes from the story of the Book of Acts,

00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:36.360
 the story of the early church after the time of Jesus on earth.

00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.379
 And it's very early on in that story.

00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.719
 So Jesus has died, he's been raised from the dead,

00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.319
 he's gone back to his father in heaven.

00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.479
 He does so with a promise that one day he will return.

00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.819
 We do not know when that will be,

00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:52.819
 we don't know exactly what that will be like,

00:03:52.900 --> 00:03:54.240
 but we are given that promise,

00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.400
 that history will eventually come to a climax

00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:58.800
 when Christ will return,

00:03:59.180 --> 00:04:02.939
 and we will all live forever in eternity,

00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:05.240
 and there will be no more suffering and no more pain.

00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:09.900
 But in the meantime, we live in that period of history,

00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.079
 and we don't know how long it will last,

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.140
 but it is finite, that is what the Bible promises.

00:04:15.880 --> 00:04:18.960
 We live in that time where Jesus has come,

00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:22.180
 and we live in that promise that one day he will return,

00:04:22.460 --> 00:04:25.460
 and he will bring his kingdom in all its fullness.

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.960
 But in the meantime, in the early church,

00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:30.840
 Jesus promised to his disciples

00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:32.600
 that something special was going to happen,

00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:34.960
 that they weren't going to be left alone,

00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:36.759
 but the Holy Spirit of God,

00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.060
 God's invisible presence,

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:39.439
 was going to come upon them

00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.819
 and move among them in an amazing way.

00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:45.279
 And that's what has happened in the story,

00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:46.300
 just as we pick it up,

00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:47.319
 the one that we've just read.

00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.600
 And so the Holy Spirit has come upon the church,

00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:54.439
 the church has effectively come into existence,

00:04:54.620 --> 00:04:56.959
 as the Holy Spirit of God has been breathed into it.

00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:02.399
 And we see Peter get up and start to preach

00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.100
 what I suppose is effectively the first sermon

00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:06.500
 in the history of the church.

00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:12.980
 And he tells people about Jesus and what he has done.

00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.200
 And he tells about the promises of Jesus.

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:19.080
 And people begin to respond.

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:20.820
 And they say, well, what shall we do?

00:05:21.780 --> 00:05:22.800
 And he says,

00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:25.780
 you're to be baptised.

00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:30.360
 In fact, he says, repent and be baptised.

00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.699
 I used to think repent meant stop.

00:05:32.939 --> 00:05:33.740
 It doesn't, actually.

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:35.340
 It means just change.

00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:37.319
 It means turn around,

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.740
 go in a different direction.

00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.520
 If you like, it means change the soundtrack.

00:05:45.420 --> 00:05:46.759
 You see, when we think about change,

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.660
 and this is what baptism represents,

00:05:48.900 --> 00:05:49.980
 it means change,

00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:53.180
 changing what is going on in our hearts and in our minds.

00:05:53.900 --> 00:05:55.600
 And in turn, that will change

00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.780
 the way we live our lives.

00:05:57.779 --> 00:06:02.179
 Baptism uses water.

00:06:02.339 --> 00:06:03.359
 Water we use every day.

00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:04.779
 You have to drink it in order to survive.

00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:07.379
 We also use it to keep ourselves clean.

00:06:08.859 --> 00:06:10.079
 And it's that kind of thing

00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.599
 that is being represented in baptism.

00:06:13.259 --> 00:06:15.039
 That there's a change taking place.

00:06:15.159 --> 00:06:16.859
 A change, an inward change,

00:06:16.939 --> 00:06:18.799
 that also brings with it an outer change.

00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.679
 A change in the way we think,

00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.159
 the way we see things.

00:06:23.419 --> 00:06:24.139
 The soundtrack,

00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:27.000
 the dominant things going on in our minds

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.220
 is when we approach our lives.

00:06:30.019 --> 00:06:31.100
 Let me give you another picture

00:06:31.100 --> 00:06:32.839
 to help explain what I'm trying to say.

00:06:34.139 --> 00:06:36.120
 I'm going to make a confession.

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:41.279
 And please don't like me all the less for it.

00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.459
 I love jigsaw puzzles.

00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:47.379
 Okay, I'll get my anorak now.

00:06:48.459 --> 00:06:50.339
 I love jigsaw puzzles.

00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:51.019
 Now, when I say that,

00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:52.680
 I don't mean that I do them all day and all night.

00:06:52.779 --> 00:06:53.800
 It's usually what happens.

00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.220
 If we go away on holiday

00:06:56.220 --> 00:06:57.780
 and we stay in a holiday cottage,

00:06:57.920 --> 00:06:58.759
 more often than not,

00:06:58.819 --> 00:07:00.560
 they tend to have a collection of games

00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:01.780
 and jigsaws there.

00:07:02.520 --> 00:07:02.939
 And actually,

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:04.160
 that is really the only time

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:05.100
 that we tend to do them.

00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:06.680
 But when I say jigsaw puzzles,

00:07:06.819 --> 00:07:10.139
 I mean the thousand-piece-plus jobs.

00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:11.420
 I think they're just great.

00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:13.139
 And the times we've been on holiday

00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:15.360
 and we've found these

00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:16.360
 and we've tipped one open

00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:17.879
 and it becomes addictive.

00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:19.300
 There it stays on the coffee table

00:07:19.300 --> 00:07:20.280
 for the rest of the week.

00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:21.000
 And yet,

00:07:21.139 --> 00:07:21.839
 I'll be there,

00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:22.919
 addicted to the thing,

00:07:22.979 --> 00:07:24.000
 into the early hours.

00:07:24.459 --> 00:07:25.799
 Tamara is shouting out,

00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:27.059
 are you ever coming to bed?

00:07:27.259 --> 00:07:28.139
 Just one more piece,

00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:28.899
 just one more piece.

00:07:29.179 --> 00:07:30.099
 Three hours later,

00:07:30.159 --> 00:07:30.899
 I'm still there.

00:07:32.559 --> 00:07:34.139
 But one particular holiday,

00:07:34.339 --> 00:07:34.879
 I can remember,

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:36.439
 we got a jigsaw puzzle,

00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:37.359
 I can't remember what it was,

00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:38.839
 but we emptied it onto the coffee table

00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:40.019
 and we were there for about an hour.

00:07:40.139 --> 00:07:41.119
 We could get nowhere,

00:07:41.539 --> 00:07:42.459
 nowhere with it.

00:07:44.859 --> 00:07:46.839
 The bits seemed to sort of match up,

00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.379
 but it just didn't seem to make any sense.

00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:51.819
 And then one of the children

00:07:51.819 --> 00:07:53.459
 went and grabbed one of the other puzzles

00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:55.759
 and then we realised

00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.959
 that the box that the pieces were in

00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.739
 was the wrong one.

00:08:04.539 --> 00:08:07.359
 We were working off the wrong picture.

00:08:09.139 --> 00:08:11.539
 You see, the picture that we were looking at,

00:08:11.619 --> 00:08:12.759
 the one we had in our minds,

00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:14.859
 the one that we were trying to work towards,

00:08:14.859 --> 00:08:17.219
 was a very different one entirely

00:08:17.220 --> 00:08:21.220
 from the picture that was on the puzzle itself.

00:08:24.500 --> 00:08:26.160
 When it comes to living our lives,

00:08:26.280 --> 00:08:28.920
 we all have a soundtrack,

00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:32.440
 a picture going on inside us.

00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:34.460
 A picture as to what life is,

00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:36.120
 a picture of what the future is.

00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:39.100
 And it shapes the way we live

00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:40.560
 and move and have our being.

00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:45.439
 If we have a picture in our minds

00:08:45.439 --> 00:08:48.179
 that is one thing,

00:08:48.579 --> 00:08:50.039
 then our lives will be lived

00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:51.259
 according to that one thing.

00:08:53.719 --> 00:08:55.779
 The Christian gospel gives us a picture.

00:08:56.739 --> 00:08:57.619
 It gives us a soundtrack.

00:08:58.899 --> 00:09:01.339
 It gives us something to live our lives by.

00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:04.340
 And baptism represents

00:09:04.340 --> 00:09:06.000
 the way in which

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.940
 that changes

00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:10.840
 when we come to Jesus Christ.

00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:14.860
 What picture

00:09:14.860 --> 00:09:17.160
 do you live your life by?

00:09:18.379 --> 00:09:19.519
 What picture

00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:20.820
 do you have in your mind

00:09:20.820 --> 00:09:22.740
 when you face the joys of life

00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:24.120
 and the things that make us happy?

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:26.400
 What picture

00:09:26.400 --> 00:09:27.460
 do you have in your mind

00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:28.280
 when you face

00:09:28.280 --> 00:09:30.660
 the realities of brokenness

00:09:30.659 --> 00:09:31.939
 and worry

00:09:31.939 --> 00:09:33.419
 and sickness

00:09:33.419 --> 00:09:34.480
 and death

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:35.000
 and dying

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.399
 and the things that can

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:37.579
 pull us into

00:09:37.579 --> 00:09:38.919
 a place of despair?

00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:41.860
 You know,

00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:43.399
 whether you're a Christian or not,

00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:45.100
 whether you believe in God or not,

00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.019
 whether you've given your life

00:09:46.019 --> 00:09:46.799
 to Jesus or not,

00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:47.699
 all of us face

00:09:47.699 --> 00:09:48.659
 those same realities.

00:09:49.839 --> 00:09:51.139
 Becoming a follower of Jesus

00:09:51.139 --> 00:09:52.639
 does not immunise you

00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.360
 from the realities of the world.

00:09:54.659 --> 00:09:55.620
 We're still human.

00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:57.019
 We still go through

00:09:57.019 --> 00:09:58.439
 all of these challenges.

00:10:00.659 --> 00:10:02.199
 But the difference

00:10:02.199 --> 00:10:04.699
 has to do with the picture

00:10:04.699 --> 00:10:05.879
 that we have in us.

00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.360
 And the calling of Jesus Christ

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:12.679
 is a calling

00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:14.699
 that invites us

00:10:14.699 --> 00:10:16.039
 to change the picture

00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:17.259
 that we might otherwise

00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:18.299
 have in our minds

00:10:18.299 --> 00:10:20.439
 when we face those realities.

00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.079
 To change the soundtrack.

00:10:23.860 --> 00:10:24.839
 What's yours?

00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.620
 You know,

00:10:28.700 --> 00:10:30.100
 as Christians reflect

00:10:30.100 --> 00:10:31.519
 upon their experience

00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.280
 of changing the soundtrack,

00:10:33.460 --> 00:10:34.519
 of changing the picture

00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:35.480
 and allowing God

00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:36.360
 to define it,

00:10:37.540 --> 00:10:38.660
 we'll have among us

00:10:38.660 --> 00:10:40.240
 a number of different experiences

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.379
 and stories to tell.

00:10:41.920 --> 00:10:43.060
 Some may be one

00:10:43.060 --> 00:10:44.160
 of very sudden change.

00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:45.500
 Some may be one

00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:46.660
 of very gradual.

00:10:47.780 --> 00:10:48.759
 I like the analogy

00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:49.460
 that is drawn

00:10:49.460 --> 00:10:50.660
 by the theologian

00:10:50.660 --> 00:10:51.360
 Tom Wright.

00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.860
 He likens it

00:10:53.860 --> 00:10:54.519
 to the experience

00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:55.500
 of waking up

00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:56.399
 in the morning.

00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:57.980
 Now,

00:10:58.220 --> 00:10:58.919
 it may be

00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:00.200
 that you wake up

00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:01.019
 to an alarm clock

00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:01.440
 in the morning

00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:02.879
 and it's a very sudden thing.

00:11:03.700 --> 00:11:04.000
 Bang!

00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:04.919
 The alarm comes on.

00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:05.940
 Eyes open,

00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:06.580
 you're awake,

00:11:06.740 --> 00:11:07.539
 you leap out of bed.

00:11:07.659 --> 00:11:08.340
 Just like me.

00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.060
 On the other hand,

00:11:14.059 --> 00:11:16.699
 it might be

00:11:16.699 --> 00:11:18.179
 that you wake up

00:11:18.179 --> 00:11:18.719
 in the morning

00:11:18.719 --> 00:11:19.579
 very gradually

00:11:19.579 --> 00:11:21.659
 to the extent

00:11:21.659 --> 00:11:22.559
 that you're not really

00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:23.159
 quite sure

00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:24.339
 at what point it is

00:11:24.339 --> 00:11:25.539
 that you stopped

00:11:25.539 --> 00:11:26.319
 being asleep

00:11:26.319 --> 00:11:27.379
 and you started

00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:28.219
 being awake.

00:11:28.899 --> 00:11:29.779
 But gradually

00:11:29.779 --> 00:11:30.739
 and three or four

00:11:30.739 --> 00:11:31.439
 or seven cups

00:11:31.439 --> 00:11:32.199
 of coffee later,

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:33.239
 you recognize

00:11:33.239 --> 00:11:33.919
 that actually

00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:34.679
 you've just about

00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:35.319
 entered the land

00:11:35.319 --> 00:11:35.739
 of the living

00:11:35.739 --> 00:11:36.899
 and you've woken up.

00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:40.179
 Two different experiences

00:11:40.179 --> 00:11:41.159
 of waking up.

00:11:41.500 --> 00:11:42.559
 They're both waking up

00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:43.439
 but one's sudden

00:11:43.439 --> 00:11:44.259
 and one's gradual.

00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:46.919
 You know,

00:11:46.939 --> 00:11:47.679
 in the New Testament,

00:11:48.099 --> 00:11:48.839
 the experience

00:11:48.839 --> 00:11:50.019
 of coming to God

00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:50.759
 and experiencing

00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:51.599
 that change,

00:11:52.139 --> 00:11:53.679
 that change of soundtrack,

00:11:53.819 --> 00:11:56.899
 that change of picture

00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:59.359
 is likened,

00:11:59.399 --> 00:11:59.719
 actually,

00:11:59.899 --> 00:12:02.039
 to waking up.

00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:03.799
 Waking up

00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:04.719
 to that new reality.

00:12:04.859 --> 00:12:05.459
 The reality

00:12:05.459 --> 00:12:07.539
 that whatever

00:12:07.539 --> 00:12:08.299
 may hitherto

00:12:08.299 --> 00:12:09.639
 have defined our lives,

00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:11.000
 God knows

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:11.459
 that it can be

00:12:11.459 --> 00:12:12.139
 so much better

00:12:12.139 --> 00:12:13.179
 and so much fuller

00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:13.799
 and more complete.

00:12:16.019 --> 00:12:16.899
 It might be

00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:17.759
 that for some of us,

00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:18.720
 that waking up

00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:19.639
 to that new reality,

00:12:19.819 --> 00:12:20.779
 that change,

00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:23.460
 is a very gradual experience.

00:12:23.659 --> 00:12:24.379
 To the extent

00:12:24.379 --> 00:12:25.580
 that we're not quite sure

00:12:25.580 --> 00:12:26.600
 at what point

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:27.620
 we stopped

00:12:27.620 --> 00:12:29.960
 not believing in God

00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:30.539
 and started

00:12:30.539 --> 00:12:31.439
 to believe in God.

00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:33.580
 For others,

00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:34.559
 it might be

00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:35.879
 that it's a very sudden thing

00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:36.539
 and they can put

00:12:36.539 --> 00:12:37.720
 an exact time and date

00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:39.439
 on the place

00:12:39.439 --> 00:12:41.419
 where they came to Christ.

00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:41.979
 You know,

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:42.759
 it doesn't really matter.

00:12:43.079 --> 00:12:43.899
 What does matter

00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:44.899
 is that we recognise

00:12:44.899 --> 00:12:46.000
 that there is such a thing

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:46.719
 as being asleep

00:12:46.719 --> 00:12:47.860
 and there is such a thing

00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:48.539
 as being awake

00:12:48.539 --> 00:12:49.459
 and there's a world

00:12:49.459 --> 00:12:49.839
 of difference

00:12:49.839 --> 00:12:50.620
 between the two.

00:12:52.939 --> 00:12:53.860
 What's your soundtrack?

00:12:56.319 --> 00:12:57.360
 What's your picture

00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:58.120
 of reality?

00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:01.799
 Whatever that may be,

00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.079
 God in Christ

00:13:04.079 --> 00:13:05.979
 calls each

00:13:05.979 --> 00:13:07.559
 and every one of us

00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.159
 to wake up

00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.120
 to his music,

00:13:11.819 --> 00:13:13.539
 to wake up

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:15.000
 to his picture,

00:13:15.539 --> 00:13:17.439
 to allow the hymn

00:13:17.439 --> 00:13:18.839
 to set the soundtrack

00:13:18.839 --> 00:13:19.539
 for our lives,

00:13:19.599 --> 00:13:20.339
 to give us the picture

00:13:20.339 --> 00:13:20.979
 to live by.

00:13:20.980 --> 00:13:22.960
 What does that grey

00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.500
 hope

00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:27.300
 and branch

00:13:27.300 --> 00:13:31.200
 and there's a полез

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:36.000
 that we've noticed

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.379
 that we can't

00:13:37.379 --> 00:13:38.519
 to the colour

00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:39.800
 of stress

00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:40.019
 or Action

00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:40.560
 or sağ

00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:41.580
 that we can

00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:42.779
 to keep

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:43.200
 the verschiedenen

00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:43.920
 towards the

00:13:43.920 --> 00:13:44.139
 your써

00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:44.440
 of triumph

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:45.639
 and that we here

00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:46.240
 but there is

00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:47.279
 a little bit

00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:47.580
 of satisfaction
