00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.360
 all may learn and all be encouraged. And the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.

00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:14.880
 For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:19.580
 the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should

00:00:19.580 --> 00:00:23.940
 be in submission as the law says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them

00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:27.940
 ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:34.899
 Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached?

00:00:35.660 --> 00:00:40.020
 If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing

00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:46.060
 to you are a command of the Lord. If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.

00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:53.900
 So my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy and do not forbid speaking in tongues,

00:00:53.899 --> 00:00:59.939
 but all things should be done decently and in order.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:11.680
 Well, friends, I don't know about you, but this week I've been particularly struck by how much

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:18.599
 chaos there seems to be in the world. For weeks we've been hearing about the chaotic events in the UK,

00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:23.000
 the Brexit vote, and now the turmoil over choosing a new prime minister.

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.299
 And much closer to home, we've been witnessing even more chaos, it seems,

00:01:28.979 --> 00:01:32.640
 with the tragic shootings in Texas and Minnesota and Louisiana.

00:01:33.399 --> 00:01:34.799
 On and on it seems to come.

00:01:36.579 --> 00:01:39.699
 And you know, these are just the chaotic things that happen to hit the headlines.

00:01:39.700 --> 00:01:47.840
 How much more are we not reading about in other parts of the world, in other cities of our country,

00:01:48.460 --> 00:01:51.659
 even behind the closed doors of our own neighborhoods?

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:57.400
 Confusion, disorder, chaos.

00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:04.820
 And here we gather this morning, the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:02:04.819 --> 00:02:09.400
 And what should characterize our gathering?

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.120
 Should the church just be more of the same?

00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:18.780
 Another place where chaos is boiling below the surface,

00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:22.879
 ready to break out at any moment, like water bursting through a rusty pipe.

00:02:25.959 --> 00:02:28.019
 Too often, you know, this has been the case.

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:33.620
 Too often the church has looked just like the world in this regard.

00:02:34.819 --> 00:02:39.299
 A place of enmity and strife and confusion and chaos.

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:50.019
 But our text this morning speaks to us in both challenging and inviting words.

00:02:52.259 --> 00:02:59.299
 The church should be a place, we read here, not of chaos, but of order.

00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:08.980
 An order that not just the church, but our world so desperately needs.

00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:14.500
 You'll remember if you've been with us over the last few weeks,

00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:19.300
 that Paul here is coming to the conclusion of his instruction to the church here in Corinth

00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:21.100
 on the topic of spiritual gifts.

00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:30.280
 And in verse 39 through 40, at the very end of the text, Paul, hopefully, sums it up as clearly as he possibly can.

00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:35.459
 Here's the big idea that he's been sort of working towards this whole chapter.

00:03:36.500 --> 00:03:37.139
 You ready?

00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:38.500
 Here it is.

00:03:39.459 --> 00:03:41.159
 Earnestly desire to prophesy.

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:46.919
 That is, to speak timely, insightful, spirit-led words of encouragement and upbuilding.

00:03:48.379 --> 00:03:50.180
 Don't forbid speaking in tongues.

00:03:51.079 --> 00:03:52.519
 Okay, don't totally rule that out.

00:03:54.019 --> 00:03:58.479
 But all things should be done decently and in order.

00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:01.259
 Or as another translation puts it,

00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:06.139
 everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.

00:04:06.139 --> 00:04:11.299
 So when it comes to spiritual gifts and public worship,

00:04:11.579 --> 00:04:12.919
 Paul says the bottom line is,

00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.699
 all things should be done decently and in order,

00:04:15.819 --> 00:04:17.240
 in a fitting and orderly way.

00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:18.079
 Order!

00:04:21.659 --> 00:04:22.139
 Okay.

00:04:23.779 --> 00:04:24.579
 But why?

00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:29.919
 Are we talking here about order just for order's sake?

00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:34.580
 Is Paul just sort of being a stick in the mud here?

00:04:35.580 --> 00:04:38.020
 A little nervous about things getting out of hand?

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:45.920
 Like the school principal who walks into the noisy lunchroom and tells everyone to quiet down and stop having a good time.

00:04:46.460 --> 00:04:47.860
 This is school after all.

00:04:50.780 --> 00:04:52.280
 No, you see, that's not it at all.

00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:59.900
 You see, if the public worship of the church is not meant to be a sort of chaotic frenzy on the one hand,

00:05:00.780 --> 00:05:05.580
 neither is it meant to be a dry and stiff formalism on the other.

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:08.720
 I mean, think about it, friends.

00:05:08.819 --> 00:05:15.280
 Nothing about the worship of the one true God ought to be boring and dry.

00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:20.400
 We are worshiping God, after all.

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:27.259
 The creator of galaxies and quarks and canyons and everything that takes your breath away.

00:05:27.259 --> 00:05:33.800
 The author behind all poetry and music and every beauty you've ever seen.

00:05:35.379 --> 00:05:39.740
 The one we're told in the book of Hebrews is a consuming fire.

00:05:39.740 --> 00:05:45.319
 There ought to be nothing boring here.

00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.680
 And forgive us, preachers, if sometimes we bore you.

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:51.800
 We're falling short of our calling.

00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:56.379
 Order for order's sake, not quite.

00:05:58.540 --> 00:05:59.540
 So what is the reason?

00:05:59.660 --> 00:06:03.120
 Why orderly worship of all the things that Paul could drive home?

00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:05.360
 Well, our text gives us three reasons.

00:06:06.220 --> 00:06:07.360
 And the first one is this.

00:06:08.340 --> 00:06:13.600
 Do all things decently and in order because orderly worship, Paul seems to say,

00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.780
 lets everyone take part.

00:06:16.779 --> 00:06:21.059
 Jump back to the beginning of our passage.

00:06:21.899 --> 00:06:28.219
 The vision here is of an incredibly participatory worship, is it not?

00:06:29.979 --> 00:06:34.059
 The way Paul would have it, corporate worship is not a spectator sport.

00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.339
 It's not like showing up to see a movie at a movie theater where you sit back,

00:06:39.779 --> 00:06:44.699
 eat some popcorn, and hope to be sort of mildly entertained for the next hour and a half or two hours.

00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:47.979
 You hope not two hours, right, when you come to church.

00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.139
 No, the way Paul would have it, the way the New Testament would have it,

00:06:54.579 --> 00:06:59.079
 corporate worship is more like showing up at one of those murder mystery dinners

00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:04.219
 where everyone has a role to play in the unfolding drama.

00:07:05.099 --> 00:07:08.819
 You show up and you're expected to participate.

00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:14.199
 And if you don't, well, you just don't have that much fun, do you?

00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:19.139
 Everyone comes with something to share.

00:07:19.219 --> 00:07:20.300
 You see that in verse 26.

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.060
 And for Paul, that's a good thing.

00:07:23.779 --> 00:07:28.000
 Paul doesn't say, oh, you came with a hymn.

00:07:28.599 --> 00:07:29.319
 No, no, no, no, no.

00:07:29.379 --> 00:07:33.819
 You're just supposed to come with your popcorn bucket so you can sit back and enjoy the show.

00:07:33.819 --> 00:07:34.259
 Okay.

00:07:38.259 --> 00:07:41.620
 Now, if that's the case, if everyone comes with something to share,

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.500
 if this is meant to be a participatory gathering,

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:51.600
 at first, a little bit of chaos might seem like the best way to let everybody jump in.

00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:57.660
 Why have any guidelines or structure or order or service leaders?

00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.879
 Why not just let the spirit move?

00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.420
 Won't that ensure that everyone gets a chance to participate?

00:08:04.420 --> 00:08:13.900
 But, you know, the reality is that's almost never how it works out in practice.

00:08:16.460 --> 00:08:26.939
 Chaos almost always ends up meaning that the strong and the domineering are the ones who steal the show.

00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:33.340
 And they run roughshod over the humbler and the quieter ones.

00:08:35.539 --> 00:08:39.419
 You know, if the teacher in the classroom never says,

00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:43.480
 why don't we hear from someone who hasn't shared yet?

00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:52.720
 It's always going to be that obnoxious kid in the front row who blurts out the answers to all the questions.

00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:53.779
 Isn't it?

00:08:53.779 --> 00:08:58.500
 I know, because I was too often that kid.

00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:06.039
 So, you see, order in corporate worship ensures that the loudest voices,

00:09:06.259 --> 00:09:10.019
 the most domineering, pushy personalities, don't monopolize the meeting,

00:09:10.459 --> 00:09:13.000
 which seems to be what was taking place at Corinth.

00:09:15.339 --> 00:09:20.519
 In other words, an orderly service ensures that the quieter, humbler voices that we need to hear

00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.720
 can also be heard.

00:09:23.779 --> 00:09:28.299
 So then, in verses 27 through 31, Paul gives us some ground rules.

00:09:29.339 --> 00:09:32.799
 Only let two or three speak in tongues or in prophecy.

00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.360
 And make sure they speak in turn, not over each other, okay?

00:09:38.139 --> 00:09:42.259
 Take note of how Paul is implying self-control here.

00:09:42.259 --> 00:09:47.779
 If you want to do, if you can't happen to do what you want to do at this gathering,

00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.840
 just wait for another opportunity.

00:09:51.259 --> 00:09:54.159
 And by the way, tongues, speakers, you need an interpreter.

00:09:54.659 --> 00:09:57.240
 If no interpreter is present, stay silent.

00:09:57.460 --> 00:09:59.439
 Oh, and prophecy, speakers, look,

00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:03.519
 you can wait till someone is done speaking before you start speaking.

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.720
 And don't blab on and on and on and on and on and on.

00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:12.019
 That seems to be what verse 32 is all about.

00:10:12.079 --> 00:10:13.240
 It's a bit confusing on the surface.

00:10:13.340 --> 00:10:15.519
 The spirit of prophets are subject to prophets.

00:10:15.620 --> 00:10:19.340
 I think what Paul means there is that you, prophet, whoever you might be,

00:10:19.460 --> 00:10:23.340
 you, speaker, you are in control of your own spirit.

00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:27.240
 That is, you don't just have to blurt something out

00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.800
 because there's something on your heart or in your spirit to say.

00:10:30.259 --> 00:10:31.360
 You can wait.

00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:34.940
 You can exercise self-control here.

00:10:37.800 --> 00:10:40.720
 But now note, even if you're not speaking,

00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:45.420
 Paul seems to be very strongly seeing that you're still participating.

00:10:46.259 --> 00:10:49.220
 You may be quiet, but you're not passive.

00:10:49.820 --> 00:10:53.200
 The tongue speakers are still speaking to themselves and God.

00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:56.200
 Those who are not prophesying are weighing what is said.

00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:01.960
 The vision here is of a gathering where everyone is engaged in heart and mind

00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:03.860
 with all that's being said.

00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:07.420
 Okay, fair enough.

00:11:08.259 --> 00:11:09.820
 Now, at this point, you might be thinking,

00:11:10.300 --> 00:11:11.060
 wait a minute.

00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.060
 I've been coming to Trinity for fill in the blank.

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.360
 Three months, three years, 30 years.

00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:24.379
 Our Sunday morning services don't look anything like this.

00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:27.360
 Right?

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.779
 Does that mean we have it completely wrong?

00:11:32.779 --> 00:11:34.560
 Are we missing the mark here?

00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:39.980
 Next Sunday, should we just set up a microphone in the middle of this stage

00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:42.620
 stage and say, okay, who's got a word?

00:11:45.740 --> 00:11:47.379
 Well, I think there are a few things to say to that.

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.840
 First, we would actually love to see Sundays as a time

00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:55.680
 where more people are sharing encouraging words

00:11:55.680 --> 00:11:57.759
 to the congregation up front.

00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:02.279
 And not just when someone becomes a member or gets baptized,

00:12:02.419 --> 00:12:04.419
 as great as those times of sharing are.

00:12:05.700 --> 00:12:08.600
 But also, maybe when the Lord is just teaching you something

00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:11.600
 that will be edifying to share with the whole congregation.

00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:16.519
 What might that look like?

00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.259
 Well, the Lord's been teaching you something

00:12:19.259 --> 00:12:21.620
 that you think might be edifying to share with the whole congregation.

00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:23.840
 Come talk to one of the elders

00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.600
 so that we can pray about the best means

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.279
 of actually communicating that to your church family

00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:33.440
 so we can help you discern the best means of building up your body.

00:12:37.539 --> 00:12:38.860
 Okay, the second thing to say

00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:42.620
 is that this gathering on Sundays

00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:45.840
 isn't the only gathering of our church.

00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:48.879
 There are different sorts of gatherings

00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.399
 that can have different sorts of purposes

00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.199
 and that give us different opportunities

00:12:52.199 --> 00:12:54.360
 to use our gifts in different sorts of ways.

00:12:55.379 --> 00:12:56.899
 In the church where I became a Christian,

00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.759
 there was a midweek service on Wednesday nights.

00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:02.740
 How many people here went to a church growing up

00:13:02.740 --> 00:13:05.639
 that was like Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night?

00:13:06.139 --> 00:13:07.399
 Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:08.679
 Some of you are like,

00:13:08.779 --> 00:13:11.459
 why would you ever go to church three times a week?

00:13:11.539 --> 00:13:12.220
 That's nuts.

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:16.419
 Okay, well, the church I went to,

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:17.840
 we had this midweek service, right?

00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:18.799
 And I'll tell you,

00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.419
 that midweek service looked a bit like 1 Corinthians 14.

00:13:23.819 --> 00:13:26.199
 Instead of the songs being planned ahead of time,

00:13:26.959 --> 00:13:28.740
 people would call out hymn numbers.

00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.519
 And then we'd hope the pianist kind of knew that one.

00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:36.019
 Then there was an open time

00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:37.979
 when what we called testimonies were given.

00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:39.960
 And when prayers were prayed.

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.379
 And when scripture passages were shared and taught.

00:13:45.100 --> 00:13:46.480
 And you know, here at Trinity,

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.899
 if you become a part of a midweek small group,

00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:55.519
 you might see something a lot more like 1 Corinthians 14.

00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:59.039
 In fact, I will say from personal experience,

00:13:59.199 --> 00:14:02.039
 I have seen the gift of prophecy at work

00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:04.659
 all the time in my small group.

00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.299
 I don't think the members of my small group

00:14:07.299 --> 00:14:09.100
 would have necessarily called it that.

00:14:10.579 --> 00:14:12.220
 But if we understand prophecy,

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:13.960
 as we've been saying over the last few weeks,

00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:17.139
 as timely, insightful, spirit-filled words

00:14:17.139 --> 00:14:19.220
 that apply the truths of scripture

00:14:19.220 --> 00:14:20.639
 to a specific situation,

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.360
 then I've seen that again and again and again.

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.519
 Someone struggling with a sin

00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:29.039
 and a brother or sister shares a word

00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:30.600
 that's very encouraging and challenging.

00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.840
 Someone wrestling with anxiety or fear

00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:34.559
 and someone saying,

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:35.759
 I've struggled with that too.

00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:37.720
 Here's how the Lord has helped me.

00:14:38.059 --> 00:14:40.199
 Someone just over our Bible study time

00:14:40.199 --> 00:14:41.379
 sharing something

00:14:41.379 --> 00:14:43.559
 that seems to hit the nail on the head

00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:44.639
 for all of us

00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:46.439
 and it ends up being woven through

00:14:46.439 --> 00:14:47.819
 a lot of our prayers

00:14:47.819 --> 00:14:49.639
 later in our time together.

00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.519
 I've seen the gift of prophecy at work

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.019
 in our small group again and again and again.

00:14:57.639 --> 00:14:59.159
 No one has spoken in tongues yet.

00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:02.779
 I don't think anyone has the gift of interpretation

00:15:02.779 --> 00:15:03.379
 that I know of,

00:15:03.439 --> 00:15:04.319
 so, you know, we're good there.

00:15:04.419 --> 00:15:05.159
 We don't need to go there.

00:15:05.340 --> 00:15:07.100
 But it could happen, right?

00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:07.960
 And then we'd say,

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:09.500
 does anybody have the gift of interpretation?

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.939
 And maybe someone would.

00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:11.679
 Who knows?

00:15:14.019 --> 00:15:14.840
 But the point is

00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:16.080
 that these smaller gatherings

00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:17.480
 provide good context

00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.519
 to exercise gifts in different ways.

00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:22.600
 Now, it's also clear from the New Testament,

00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:23.639
 if you look at the book of Acts

00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:25.379
 or the pastoral epistles, for example,

00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.699
 that biblical preaching and teaching,

00:15:29.019 --> 00:15:30.899
 sustained exposition of the Bible,

00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:32.819
 and encouraging one another

00:15:32.819 --> 00:15:34.819
 through song and scripture readings

00:15:34.819 --> 00:15:36.659
 and taking up a collection,

00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.480
 these are also part of a healthy,

00:15:40.899 --> 00:15:42.840
 public worship life at the church.

00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.759
 And our Sunday morning gatherings

00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:46.820
 seem like a good time

00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:48.240
 to devote to those things.

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:50.800
 Now, of course,

00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:53.320
 we could do all of those things

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:54.639
 in one big service.

00:15:56.420 --> 00:15:58.460
 But with 200 to 300 people here on a Sunday,

00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.500
 that would probably make for a really long service.

00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:02.600
 Right?

00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:06.220
 And fortunately,

00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:07.840
 lots of people would probably be too intimidated

00:16:08.379 --> 00:16:10.300
 to speak up and exercise their gifts.

00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:12.979
 So,

00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:15.159
 we meet more than once.

00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:17.219
 And we meet in lots of different ways.

00:16:17.779 --> 00:16:19.000
 We meet in different forms

00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.719
 so that we can embody the breadth

00:16:20.719 --> 00:16:23.899
 of what a healthy church gathering looks like.

00:16:26.199 --> 00:16:27.799
 Okay, one more point to be made

00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:29.039
 as we think about the sort of,

00:16:29.259 --> 00:16:30.059
 maybe dissonance

00:16:30.059 --> 00:16:31.639
 between what we see in 1 Corinthians 14

00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:32.639
 and what we see here.

00:16:34.479 --> 00:16:35.579
 And that point is that

00:16:35.579 --> 00:16:36.279
 as we think

00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.139
 of how our Sunday morning service

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:39.339
 is compared to what we see here

00:16:39.340 --> 00:16:40.220
 in 1 Corinthians 14,

00:16:41.280 --> 00:16:42.240
 I think it's true

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:44.259
 that orderly worship,

00:16:44.899 --> 00:16:47.200
 which is what Paul's big idea is here,

00:16:47.860 --> 00:16:48.680
 orderly worship,

00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:50.320
 even in a large meeting

00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:51.560
 like this,

00:16:53.620 --> 00:16:54.240
 orderly worship

00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:55.720
 still facilitates

00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.399
 the participation

00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.280
 and mutual edification

00:16:59.280 --> 00:17:01.620
 that Paul really wants.

00:17:01.620 --> 00:17:04.599
 in other words,

00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:05.920
 even if things don't look identical

00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:06.660
 on the surface,

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:08.000
 the principles are still

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:09.180
 being embodied.

00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:10.220
 Orderly worship

00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:11.359
 allows everyone

00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:12.220
 to take part

00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:12.980
 in what's happening.

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:14.599
 This is one of the reasons

00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:16.519
 why we have an order of service.

00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:19.359
 So that when we come together,

00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.000
 we're not just spectators

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:22.960
 of what's happening

00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:24.019
 up on stage,

00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:26.519
 but so that we can enter

00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:27.500
 into

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:31.039
 the worship service itself

00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:32.460
 with our spirits

00:17:32.460 --> 00:17:33.779
 and with our minds,

00:17:33.859 --> 00:17:34.619
 as Paul says back

00:17:34.619 --> 00:17:36.139
 in verses 14 through 15.

00:17:38.639 --> 00:17:39.960
 And we put a lot of thought

00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:41.740
 into making the order of service.

00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:44.319
 It's not just a random string

00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:45.639
 of songs and reading and prayer,

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.839
 but something that actually

00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:48.099
 takes us,

00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:48.720
 if you notice,

00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:50.779
 week in and week out

00:17:50.779 --> 00:17:51.940
 on a journey

00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:53.180
 through the gospel narrative.

00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:57.100
 This is what we're hoping to do

00:17:57.100 --> 00:17:58.160
 with our order of service.

00:17:59.340 --> 00:18:00.140
 We begin,

00:18:00.320 --> 00:18:00.860
 did you notice,

00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:01.980
 it's right there in your bulletin,

00:18:02.060 --> 00:18:03.039
 with a time of adoration.

00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:04.060
 Right?

00:18:04.380 --> 00:18:06.160
 Praising God for who he is.

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.779
 And then we move, what,

00:18:08.820 --> 00:18:09.900
 to a time of confession.

00:18:11.180 --> 00:18:12.080
 Acknowledging our sin

00:18:12.080 --> 00:18:13.000
 and our need of a savior.

00:18:14.299 --> 00:18:15.900
 And then we move to the cross.

00:18:16.700 --> 00:18:18.400
 And we sing and we speak

00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:19.500
 of what Jesus has done

00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:20.759
 for all who believe.

00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.859
 Paying the penalty for our sin.

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:25.640
 Rising again to give us new life.

00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:28.660
 And then after we've

00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:29.960
 adored God for who he is

00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.160
 and we've celebrated

00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:32.619
 what Christ has done for us

00:18:32.619 --> 00:18:33.519
 to forgive our sins,

00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:36.460
 having celebrated God's grace

00:18:36.460 --> 00:18:37.099
 in that way,

00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:38.960
 we move to a time of sharing

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:40.180
 what God's been doing

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:40.900
 in our lives.

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:42.839
 And particularly,

00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:44.400
 coming to God

00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:46.140
 as our heavenly father

00:18:46.140 --> 00:18:47.900
 who knows our needs

00:18:47.900 --> 00:18:49.500
 even before we ask them.

00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:51.759
 and pouring out our hearts

00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:52.200
 to him

00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:53.700
 with our needs

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:54.619
 and our petitions

00:18:54.619 --> 00:18:55.339
 and our prayers.

00:18:58.539 --> 00:18:59.299
 So you see,

00:18:59.380 --> 00:18:59.900
 we're moving

00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:01.880
 through the narrative

00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:02.980
 of the gospel.

00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:04.200
 God,

00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.420
 we adore him.

00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:06.599
 We're sinners

00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:07.539
 and we need to confess

00:19:07.539 --> 00:19:08.240
 that before him.

00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:09.359
 Christ has done something

00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:11.619
 once and for all for us

00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:12.599
 and that opens up

00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:14.099
 a new kind of relationship

00:19:14.099 --> 00:19:15.420
 and response to God.

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:15.460
 God,

00:19:16.060 --> 00:19:19.860
 we're shaping our services

00:19:19.860 --> 00:19:21.240
 around the message,

00:19:21.340 --> 00:19:22.480
 the story of the good news.

00:19:23.380 --> 00:19:24.440
 Why do we do that?

00:19:26.620 --> 00:19:27.120
 Friends,

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:28.080
 so that week in

00:19:28.080 --> 00:19:28.860
 and week out

00:19:28.860 --> 00:19:30.220
 in a hundred different ways,

00:19:30.340 --> 00:19:32.279
 we can participate together

00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:33.380
 in the celebration

00:19:33.380 --> 00:19:34.200
 of the gospel

00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:35.120
 of Jesus Christ.

00:19:35.820 --> 00:19:37.300
 Which 1 Peter tells us

00:19:37.300 --> 00:19:38.360
 even angels

00:19:38.360 --> 00:19:40.160
 long to look at

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:40.980
 and look into

00:19:40.980 --> 00:19:41.720
 with wonder.

00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.900
 the gospel is something

00:19:44.900 --> 00:19:46.680
 that will never grow old

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:48.160
 for all eternity.

00:19:49.019 --> 00:19:50.180
 So every Sunday,

00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:51.779
 we want to come before it

00:19:51.779 --> 00:19:53.339
 and in the hundreds

00:19:53.339 --> 00:19:54.059
 of different ways

00:19:54.059 --> 00:19:55.480
 in which we can celebrate it,

00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:56.100
 we want to be

00:19:56.100 --> 00:19:57.680
 diving into it together.

00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:01.559
 So I hope

00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:03.039
 that our orderly service

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:04.539
 and our order of service

00:20:04.539 --> 00:20:06.079
 empowers your meaningful

00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:06.779
 participation.

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:08.460
 You know,

00:20:08.500 --> 00:20:09.319
 this is another reason

00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:09.759
 why

00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:13.779
 we also

00:20:13.779 --> 00:20:14.419
 don't just have

00:20:14.419 --> 00:20:15.179
 an order of service,

00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:15.740
 but

00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:17.059
 we print out

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:17.679
 the sermon text

00:20:17.679 --> 00:20:18.259
 ahead of time

00:20:18.259 --> 00:20:19.339
 on the sermon cards

00:20:19.339 --> 00:20:21.220
 so that we can be

00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:22.539
 engaging with the text

00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:22.899
 together

00:20:22.899 --> 00:20:23.619
 before we come

00:20:23.619 --> 00:20:24.279
 on Sundays

00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:26.460
 and so that we can be

00:20:26.460 --> 00:20:27.659
 praying for the message.

00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:29.859
 Just this week,

00:20:29.899 --> 00:20:30.419
 I actually heard

00:20:30.419 --> 00:20:30.899
 of a student

00:20:30.899 --> 00:20:31.759
 in our youth group

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:33.359
 who uses the sermon text

00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:33.939
 each week

00:20:33.939 --> 00:20:35.019
 as part of his quiet time.

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:37.599
 I think that's

00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:38.660
 a great example

00:20:38.660 --> 00:20:39.940
 for all of us.

00:20:41.180 --> 00:20:42.639
 I guarantee you

00:20:42.639 --> 00:20:43.460
 that you will get

00:20:43.460 --> 00:20:44.720
 more out of Sunday mornings,

00:20:44.879 --> 00:20:46.039
 you will feel more engaged

00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:47.079
 if you read

00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:47.980
 and you meditate

00:20:47.980 --> 00:20:48.579
 on the text

00:20:48.579 --> 00:20:49.180
 ahead of time

00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:50.099
 and pray for the message

00:20:50.099 --> 00:20:50.680
 on Sunday.

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:54.200
 Pick up a good study Bible

00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:55.519
 like the ESV study Bible

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:56.519
 or there's others out there,

00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:57.339
 you don't have to get that one.

00:20:58.180 --> 00:20:58.700
 But that will be

00:20:58.700 --> 00:20:59.420
 a good help to you

00:20:59.420 --> 00:21:00.460
 as you study the passage

00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:01.200
 during the week

00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:02.480
 and get your bearings in it

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:03.599
 and start to meditate on it

00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:05.579
 to help you delve into it.

00:21:08.180 --> 00:21:08.680
 But you know,

00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:09.500
 it's not just leading up

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:09.920
 to the service

00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:10.539
 but in the time

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:12.539
 following the service.

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:14.240
 You know,

00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:14.960
 what we do

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.200
 after the benediction

00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:17.099
 here

00:21:17.099 --> 00:21:18.980
 is still very much

00:21:18.980 --> 00:21:20.299
 part of our

00:21:20.299 --> 00:21:21.599
 gathered worship.

00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:25.360
 We engage

00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:26.120
 with one another

00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:28.200
 over the text.

00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:31.599
 I know some of the

00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:32.120
 small groups

00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:33.639
 are actually using

00:21:33.639 --> 00:21:34.359
 the sermon text

00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:34.879
 as part of their

00:21:34.879 --> 00:21:35.939
 weekly small group discussion

00:21:35.939 --> 00:21:36.819
 to be carrying

00:21:36.819 --> 00:21:38.759
 what we're doing here

00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:40.279
 into their one anothering

00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:40.939
 throughout the week.

00:21:41.919 --> 00:21:42.799
 That gives them a way

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:44.019
 to connect

00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:45.039
 what's happening

00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:45.599
 on Sundays

00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:46.959
 to their mutual teaching

00:21:46.959 --> 00:21:47.459
 and edifying

00:21:47.459 --> 00:21:48.139
 of one another

00:21:48.139 --> 00:21:49.679
 in their small group.

00:21:51.539 --> 00:21:52.899
 So there are lots of ways

00:21:52.899 --> 00:21:53.539
 in which

00:21:53.539 --> 00:21:54.819
 our services

00:21:54.819 --> 00:21:56.679
 through being orderly

00:21:56.679 --> 00:21:58.019
 are actually encouraging

00:21:58.019 --> 00:21:59.139
 this kind of mutual

00:21:59.139 --> 00:22:01.000
 full-on participation

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:02.559
 that we're all engaged

00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:03.480
 in what's happening here.

00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:06.960
 Okay, let's keep moving.

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:07.519
 I hope you see

00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:08.380
 that the first big reason

00:22:08.380 --> 00:22:09.279
 why orderly worship

00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:10.119
 is so important

00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:10.779
 is because

00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:12.359
 chaos can't produce

00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:12.940
 and maintain

00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:13.460
 a culture

00:22:13.460 --> 00:22:14.920
 of mutual participation

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:16.579
 and mutual building up.

00:22:17.180 --> 00:22:17.740
 But Paul says

00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:18.900
 orderly worship can.

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:21.740
 Okay.

00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:22.960
 Now,

00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:24.880
 let me say a few words

00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:26.759
 about verses 34 and 35.

00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:28.339
 Ah,

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:29.059
 when was he going to

00:22:29.059 --> 00:22:29.859
 start talking about that?

00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:31.440
 Okay,

00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:32.319
 here we go.

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:33.599
 These verses

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:34.599
 in the text of our passage

00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:35.679
 seem to come out of nowhere,

00:22:35.940 --> 00:22:36.220
 right?

00:22:37.940 --> 00:22:39.079
 So much so

00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:40.480
 that some commentators

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:41.740
 have even speculated

00:22:41.740 --> 00:22:43.500
 whether they were added

00:22:43.500 --> 00:22:44.179
 to the manuscript

00:22:44.179 --> 00:22:45.619
 at some later date.

00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:47.019
 Some people have wondered

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:48.159
 maybe there was a scribe

00:22:48.159 --> 00:22:48.819
 who just sort of wrote

00:22:48.819 --> 00:22:49.519
 that in the margins

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:50.059
 and eventually

00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:51.299
 just kind of got stuck in.

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:53.740
 Okay.

00:22:54.299 --> 00:22:55.159
 The reality is

00:22:55.159 --> 00:22:55.799
 that these verses

00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:57.200
 are in every single manuscript

00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:57.720
 of 1 Corinthians

00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:58.299
 that we have.

00:22:58.360 --> 00:22:59.059
 So it seems that Paul

00:22:59.059 --> 00:23:00.019
 actually did write them.

00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:00.360
 So,

00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:02.500
 what do they mean?

00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:04.640
 You know,

00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:05.759
 it's very important

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.779
 when we run across

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:08.079
 a passage like this,

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:10.079
 ones that at first

00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:11.079
 are very arresting

00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:12.079
 and seem very unclear

00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:13.460
 and on the surface

00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:14.640
 maybe seem a little offensive

00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:16.440
 or on the surface

00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:17.940
 seem a lot offensive.

00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:18.319
 Okay.

00:23:19.420 --> 00:23:20.380
 It's important

00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:21.220
 to interpret

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:22.620
 the less clear parts

00:23:22.620 --> 00:23:23.100
 of Scripture

00:23:23.100 --> 00:23:24.600
 in light of the more

00:23:24.600 --> 00:23:25.640
 clear parts of Scripture.

00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:28.720
 and when we do that

00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:30.040
 we realize pretty quickly

00:23:30.040 --> 00:23:31.040
 that there's one thing

00:23:31.040 --> 00:23:31.840
 that this text

00:23:31.840 --> 00:23:33.759
 cannot be saying.

00:23:35.500 --> 00:23:37.320
 This text cannot be saying

00:23:37.320 --> 00:23:37.900
 that women

00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:39.100
 should never ever

00:23:39.100 --> 00:23:40.340
 participate verbally

00:23:40.340 --> 00:23:41.300
 in public worship.

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:43.940
 How do we know that?

00:23:44.280 --> 00:23:44.620
 Well, look,

00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:45.300
 if you go back

00:23:45.300 --> 00:23:45.920
 three chapters

00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:47.000
 to 1 Corinthians 11

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:48.020
 we see there

00:23:48.020 --> 00:23:48.820
 very clearly

00:23:48.820 --> 00:23:49.360
 that women

00:23:49.360 --> 00:23:50.040
 are praying

00:23:50.040 --> 00:23:50.700
 and prophesying

00:23:50.700 --> 00:23:51.180
 in the church

00:23:51.180 --> 00:23:51.860
 and Paul has

00:23:51.860 --> 00:23:53.100
 zero problem with it.

00:23:53.099 --> 00:23:54.419
 He just wants

00:23:54.419 --> 00:23:54.819
 to make sure

00:23:54.819 --> 00:23:55.399
 that they respect

00:23:55.399 --> 00:23:55.859
 their husbands

00:23:55.859 --> 00:23:56.480
 as they do so.

00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:56.959
 That's the deal

00:23:56.959 --> 00:23:57.740
 with head coverings.

00:23:59.399 --> 00:23:59.919
 So unless Paul

00:23:59.919 --> 00:24:00.819
 is hopelessly

00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:01.619
 contradicting himself

00:24:01.619 --> 00:24:02.319
 he can't mean

00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:02.639
 that women

00:24:02.639 --> 00:24:03.659
 should never ever

00:24:03.659 --> 00:24:04.539
 pray or speak

00:24:04.539 --> 00:24:05.000
 in church.

00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:06.779
 So whatever Paul

00:24:06.779 --> 00:24:08.299
 means by keep silent

00:24:08.299 --> 00:24:09.599
 that can't be it.

00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:11.759
 Okay.

00:24:12.659 --> 00:24:13.919
 So what does Paul

00:24:13.919 --> 00:24:14.379
 mean then?

00:24:15.819 --> 00:24:17.079
 Well here commentators

00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:18.480
 go in all sorts

00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:19.399
 of different directions

00:24:19.399 --> 00:24:20.259
 and if you're interested

00:24:20.259 --> 00:24:21.459
 in the nitty gritty details

00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:22.160
 you can come talk

00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:22.660
 to me afterwards

00:24:22.660 --> 00:24:23.220
 and we can have

00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:23.940
 a long conversation

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:25.240
 about all the crazy ways

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:26.240
 in which scholars

00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:26.960
 try to put these pieces

00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:27.299
 together.

00:24:29.940 --> 00:24:31.000
 But here's another principle.

00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:31.799
 If we should always

00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:32.940
 interpret the less clear

00:24:32.940 --> 00:24:33.559
 parts of scripture

00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:34.860
 by the more clear parts

00:24:34.860 --> 00:24:36.420
 we should also

00:24:36.420 --> 00:24:37.860
 always look at texts

00:24:37.860 --> 00:24:39.600
 in their context.

00:24:41.360 --> 00:24:42.600
 And what's the context

00:24:42.600 --> 00:24:43.400
 of these verses?

00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:45.259
 Verses 34 and 35.

00:24:46.779 --> 00:24:48.319
 Not just

00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:49.740
 speaking in church

00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:50.200
 in general.

00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:52.840
 The immediate context

00:24:52.840 --> 00:24:54.500
 in verses 29 through 33

00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:55.340
 is what?

00:24:55.980 --> 00:24:56.740
 The giving

00:24:56.740 --> 00:24:58.380
 and the weighing

00:24:58.380 --> 00:25:00.400
 of prophecy.

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:02.680
 Now

00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:03.840
 as we just pointed out

00:25:03.840 --> 00:25:05.000
 from 1 Corinthians 11

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:06.460
 and as we actually see

00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:07.200
 all across

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:07.840
 the New Testament

00:25:07.840 --> 00:25:08.380
 women

00:25:08.380 --> 00:25:09.440
 were

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:10.579
 most certainly

00:25:10.579 --> 00:25:11.779
 giving words of prophecy

00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:12.920
 and sharing all sorts

00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:13.819
 of encouraging words

00:25:13.819 --> 00:25:14.620
 in the church.

00:25:15.700 --> 00:25:16.299
 So

00:25:16.299 --> 00:25:18.200
 the best bet

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:18.900
 seems to be

00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:19.920
 that verses 34

00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:20.519
 to 35

00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:21.299
 have something

00:25:21.299 --> 00:25:22.059
 to do

00:25:22.059 --> 00:25:23.500
 with the weighing

00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:25.420
 of prophecy.

00:25:25.579 --> 00:25:25.920
 That is

00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:26.680
 the evaluation

00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:28.440
 of prophecy.

00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:31.440
 And at this point

00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:32.019
 it seems

00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:33.119
 there are broadly

00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:34.139
 two directions,

00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:35.139
 two interpretations

00:25:35.139 --> 00:25:36.740
 that could make sense.

00:25:36.819 --> 00:25:37.259
 And here's where

00:25:37.259 --> 00:25:38.059
 some commentators

00:25:38.059 --> 00:25:38.740
 go with this.

00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:41.420
 One reading

00:25:41.420 --> 00:25:42.279
 would seem

00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:42.980
 to understand

00:25:42.980 --> 00:25:43.619
 these verses

00:25:43.619 --> 00:25:44.480
 to be saying

00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.759
 that married women

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:48.759
 shouldn't publicly

00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:50.099
 evaluate and question

00:25:50.099 --> 00:25:50.900
 the prophecies

00:25:50.900 --> 00:25:51.880
 of their husbands.

00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:53.759
 Instead

00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:54.680
 they should talk

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:55.380
 to their husbands

00:25:55.380 --> 00:25:56.019
 at home

00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:56.860
 lest

00:25:56.860 --> 00:25:58.700
 they run the risk

00:25:58.700 --> 00:25:59.339
 of dishonoring

00:25:59.339 --> 00:25:59.860
 their husbands

00:25:59.860 --> 00:26:01.200
 and undermining

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:02.120
 the special relationship

00:26:02.120 --> 00:26:02.660
 that exists

00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:03.099
 in a marriage

00:26:03.099 --> 00:26:03.740
 between a husband

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:04.079
 and wife

00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:04.460
 that's meant

00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:04.860
 to mirror

00:26:04.860 --> 00:26:05.680
 Christ in the church.

00:26:07.140 --> 00:26:07.660
 And so

00:26:07.660 --> 00:26:08.779
 in this reading

00:26:08.779 --> 00:26:11.000
 Paul isn't saying

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:11.359
 that women

00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:12.019
 shouldn't speak

00:26:12.019 --> 00:26:13.000
 at all

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:13.799
 but again

00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:14.559
 in the context

00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:15.519
 of weighing prophecies

00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:16.480
 they shouldn't speak

00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:17.299
 in evaluation

00:26:17.299 --> 00:26:18.359
 of their husbands.

00:26:20.379 --> 00:26:20.700
 Okay

00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:21.519
 that's the first way

00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:22.259
 of reading the passage

00:26:22.259 --> 00:26:23.660
 and that would understand

00:26:23.660 --> 00:26:24.339
 verses 34

00:26:24.339 --> 00:26:24.859
 through 35

00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:25.639
 as relating

00:26:25.639 --> 00:26:26.480
 to a particular

00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:27.399
 relationship

00:26:27.399 --> 00:26:27.819
 right?

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:28.619
 To the relationship

00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:29.420
 of marriage.

00:26:29.420 --> 00:26:32.539
 The second way

00:26:32.539 --> 00:26:33.279
 we could understand

00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:33.860
 these verses

00:26:33.860 --> 00:26:34.960
 is to see them

00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:35.360
 referring

00:26:35.360 --> 00:26:36.519
 not necessarily

00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:37.279
 to a particular

00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:38.320
 relationship

00:26:38.320 --> 00:26:39.180
 marriage

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:40.960
 but relating

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:41.800
 to a particular

00:26:41.800 --> 00:26:42.680
 office

00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:43.940
 in the church.

00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:46.800
 That is

00:26:46.800 --> 00:26:48.480
 the office

00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:49.220
 or the role

00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:51.519
 that was responsible

00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:52.860
 for giving

00:26:52.860 --> 00:26:54.120
 the final

00:26:54.120 --> 00:26:55.620
 public evaluation

00:26:55.620 --> 00:26:56.519
 of anything

00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:57.480
 that was formally

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:58.060
 taught

00:26:58.060 --> 00:26:59.140
 in the church assembly.

00:26:59.420 --> 00:27:00.519
 and held up

00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:02.180
 as true doctrine.

00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:04.620
 Think of it this way

00:27:04.620 --> 00:27:06.779
 when the first century

00:27:06.779 --> 00:27:07.460
 New Testament church

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:07.840
 gathered

00:27:07.840 --> 00:27:08.519
 as Paul says

00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:09.400
 each one had a hymn

00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:10.400
 each one had a lesson

00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:11.539
 each one had a revelation

00:27:11.539 --> 00:27:12.700
 a word of prophecy

00:27:12.700 --> 00:27:13.759
 an interpreted tongue

00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:15.660
 who was entrusted

00:27:15.660 --> 00:27:16.660
 with the final

00:27:16.660 --> 00:27:18.380
 buck stops here

00:27:18.380 --> 00:27:19.420
 Jesus is going

00:27:19.420 --> 00:27:20.320
 to judge us for it

00:27:20.320 --> 00:27:21.060
 responsibility

00:27:21.060 --> 00:27:22.600
 to weigh

00:27:22.600 --> 00:27:23.440
 and evaluate

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:24.620
 and make sure

00:27:24.620 --> 00:27:25.320
 that whatever

00:27:25.320 --> 00:27:26.460
 was being held up

00:27:26.460 --> 00:27:27.580
 as true doctrine

00:27:27.580 --> 00:27:28.180
 in the church

00:27:28.180 --> 00:27:29.180
 aligned

00:27:29.180 --> 00:27:29.740
 with

00:27:29.740 --> 00:27:31.060
 the apostles

00:27:31.060 --> 00:27:31.519
 teaching

00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:32.180
 and the deposit

00:27:32.180 --> 00:27:32.720
 of the faith

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:33.240
 once for all

00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:33.960
 delivered to the saints

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.480
 who was going

00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:35.160
 to make sure

00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:36.980
 that the teaching

00:27:36.980 --> 00:27:38.080
 was going to be upheld

00:27:38.080 --> 00:27:39.480
 in that life giving way

00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:42.220
 and we see that

00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:42.799
 in the New Testament

00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:43.779
 that responsibility

00:27:43.779 --> 00:27:45.140
 was entrusted

00:27:45.140 --> 00:27:46.580
 to the office

00:27:46.580 --> 00:27:47.320
 of the elders.

00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:51.500
 Yes, every believer

00:27:51.500 --> 00:27:53.220
 is meant to test

00:27:53.220 --> 00:27:53.619
 and weigh

00:27:53.619 --> 00:27:54.519
 what's being taught

00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:55.240
 in good

00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:56.579
 Berean-like

00:27:56.579 --> 00:27:57.839
 open your Bibles

00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:58.779
 and study the scriptures

00:27:58.779 --> 00:27:59.319
 fashion.

00:27:59.919 --> 00:28:00.899
 If you have no idea

00:28:00.899 --> 00:28:01.679
 who the Bereans are

00:28:01.679 --> 00:28:02.460
 I'm sorry for that

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:03.279
 esoteric reference

00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:04.200
 come talk to me afterwards.

00:28:05.939 --> 00:28:06.960
 They were Christians

00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:07.779
 in the city of Berea

00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:08.980
 who really sort of

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:10.220
 dug into the Bible

00:28:10.220 --> 00:28:10.779
 and understood

00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:11.519
 the apostles' teaching.

00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:11.740
 Okay.

00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:14.819
 Every believer

00:28:14.819 --> 00:28:15.519
 is meant to be doing that

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:15.880
 but

00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:17.420
 the responsibility

00:28:17.420 --> 00:28:18.400
 of overseeing

00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:18.900
 and preserving

00:28:18.900 --> 00:28:19.740
 the faithful teaching

00:28:19.740 --> 00:28:20.380
 in the congregation

00:28:20.380 --> 00:28:21.680
 falls especially

00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.000
 to the office

00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:23.579
 of the elders.

00:28:23.579 --> 00:28:27.539
 Who are the elders?

00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:30.559
 We see from the New Testament

00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:31.159
 that the elders

00:28:31.159 --> 00:28:32.039
 are those men

00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:33.460
 whom the congregation

00:28:33.460 --> 00:28:34.699
 formally recognizes

00:28:34.699 --> 00:28:36.619
 as being able

00:28:36.619 --> 00:28:37.720
 to faithfully teach

00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:38.299
 and defend

00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:38.919
 the biblical

00:28:38.919 --> 00:28:40.099
 apostolic teaching

00:28:40.099 --> 00:28:41.859
 and whose character

00:28:41.859 --> 00:28:43.539
 consistently conforms

00:28:43.539 --> 00:28:44.740
 to the image of Christ.

00:28:46.379 --> 00:28:48.220
 Look at 1 Timothy chapter 3

00:28:48.220 --> 00:28:48.759
 if you want to see

00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:49.899
 a description of elders.

00:28:49.900 --> 00:28:53.980
 So what does this mean?

00:28:57.180 --> 00:28:58.340
 Paul in verses 34

00:28:58.340 --> 00:28:58.880
 through 35

00:28:58.880 --> 00:28:59.580
 of our text

00:28:59.580 --> 00:29:00.640
 isn't saying

00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:01.420
 that women

00:29:01.420 --> 00:29:02.640
 shouldn't speak at all.

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:05.580
 But in the context

00:29:05.580 --> 00:29:07.580
 of weighing prophecies

00:29:07.580 --> 00:29:08.120
 he's saying

00:29:08.120 --> 00:29:09.259
 that they shouldn't speak

00:29:09.259 --> 00:29:10.540
 in the place

00:29:10.540 --> 00:29:11.019
 of an elder.

00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:13.800
 And I think

00:29:13.800 --> 00:29:14.580
 if we were to push Paul

00:29:14.580 --> 00:29:14.860
 on this

00:29:14.860 --> 00:29:15.740
 he would also say

00:29:15.740 --> 00:29:17.720
 non-elder males

00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:19.040
 shouldn't be

00:29:19.040 --> 00:29:19.880
 speaking in the place

00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:20.700
 of an elder either.

00:29:21.380 --> 00:29:22.100
 Because this isn't

00:29:22.100 --> 00:29:22.700
 an office that just

00:29:22.700 --> 00:29:23.720
 goes to every male

00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:24.340
 indiscriminately

00:29:24.340 --> 00:29:25.100
 but those whom

00:29:25.100 --> 00:29:26.040
 the congregation

00:29:26.040 --> 00:29:27.140
 all of us

00:29:27.140 --> 00:29:28.680
 have seen

00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:29.240
 and tested

00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:29.900
 and approved

00:29:29.900 --> 00:29:30.820
 to occupy

00:29:30.820 --> 00:29:31.400
 that office

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:31.980
 for us.

00:29:34.320 --> 00:29:34.720
 Okay.

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:35.940
 There are two readings.

00:29:37.100 --> 00:29:37.720
 Maybe none of them

00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:38.580
 seem satisfying to you

00:29:38.580 --> 00:29:39.220
 but there they are.

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:41.080
 Which one is it?

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:43.340
 Well again

00:29:43.340 --> 00:29:43.920
 I think both

00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:44.920
 are somewhat plausible.

00:29:45.980 --> 00:29:46.600
 And the reality is

00:29:46.600 --> 00:29:47.060
 we don't want to be

00:29:47.060 --> 00:29:48.200
 overly dogmatic

00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:49.440
 or close fisted

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:50.080
 about the meaning

00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:50.700
 of text

00:29:50.700 --> 00:29:51.799
 that pretty much

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:53.380
 everyone recognizes

00:29:53.380 --> 00:29:54.480
 are really tricky

00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:54.900
 to discern

00:29:54.900 --> 00:29:55.920
 the exact meaning of.

00:29:57.420 --> 00:29:58.200
 Every single

00:29:58.200 --> 00:29:59.400
 honest commentator

00:29:59.400 --> 00:29:59.980
 who looks at these

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.759
 verses will say

00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:02.080
 man it's hard to know

00:30:02.080 --> 00:30:02.980
 exactly what Paul

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:03.759
 has in mind here.

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:06.500
 Personally

00:30:06.500 --> 00:30:08.420
 I find the second

00:30:08.420 --> 00:30:09.039
 reading to make

00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:09.580
 the most sense

00:30:09.580 --> 00:30:10.279
 in light of the rest

00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:10.900
 of the New Testament.

00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:12.539
 But

00:30:12.539 --> 00:30:14.420
 we don't want to

00:30:14.420 --> 00:30:15.140
 lose the forest

00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:16.019
 for the trees here

00:30:16.019 --> 00:30:16.420
 friends.

00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:19.359
 This passage

00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:20.039
 is helping us

00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:20.799
 see the importance

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:21.720
 of orderly worship.

00:30:23.139 --> 00:30:23.839
 And part of

00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:24.700
 orderly worship

00:30:24.700 --> 00:30:25.920
 means at times

00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:28.059
 deferring to others.

00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:30.900
 Look at verse 28.

00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:32.619
 Those who speak

00:30:32.619 --> 00:30:33.160
 in tongues

00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:34.000
 should defer

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:34.680
 when there isn't

00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:35.720
 an interpreter around.

00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:36.519
 They too

00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:37.259
 should keep silent.

00:30:38.700 --> 00:30:39.379
 In verse 30

00:30:39.379 --> 00:30:40.460
 those who prophesy

00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:41.139
 should defer

00:30:41.139 --> 00:30:42.099
 when another prophet

00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:43.079
 stands up to speak.

00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:44.779
 And all of that

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:45.480
 is for our good.

00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:48.299
 And so friends

00:30:48.299 --> 00:30:49.659
 we can trust too

00:30:49.659 --> 00:30:51.579
 that whatever

00:30:51.579 --> 00:30:52.720
 Paul has in mind here

00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:53.639
 whether it's

00:30:53.639 --> 00:30:54.539
 regarding the relationship

00:30:54.539 --> 00:30:55.759
 between husband and wives

00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:56.679
 or whether it's

00:30:56.679 --> 00:30:57.319
 regarding the office

00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:57.899
 of the elder

00:30:57.899 --> 00:30:59.639
 that God

00:30:59.639 --> 00:31:00.980
 intends this too

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:01.919
 for our good

00:31:01.919 --> 00:31:03.159
 and for our freedom

00:31:03.159 --> 00:31:04.819
 and for the

00:31:04.819 --> 00:31:05.859
 upbuilding of the church.

00:31:10.659 --> 00:31:11.139
 Okay

00:31:11.139 --> 00:31:11.819
 we've seen then

00:31:11.819 --> 00:31:12.759
 that orderly worship

00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:13.779
 lets everyone

00:31:13.779 --> 00:31:15.039
 play their part.

00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:15.980
 If you want to come

00:31:15.980 --> 00:31:16.640
 talk to me about

00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:17.200
 this passage

00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:17.799
 after the service

00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:18.879
 please come

00:31:18.879 --> 00:31:19.559
 I'd love to talk

00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:20.200
 more about it.

00:31:21.019 --> 00:31:21.720
 But there are more

00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:22.920
 reasons that Paul

00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:24.259
 gives for the

00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:24.879
 importance of

00:31:24.879 --> 00:31:25.539
 orderly worship.

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:26.579
 And the next big

00:31:26.579 --> 00:31:27.339
 reason is this.

00:31:28.379 --> 00:31:29.240
 He tells us to do

00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:29.879
 all things decently

00:31:29.879 --> 00:31:30.319
 and in order

00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:31.599
 because orderly worship

00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:33.119
 is the Lord's command.

00:31:33.220 --> 00:31:34.359
 Look at verse 36.

00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:35.940
 Paul here is sort of

00:31:35.940 --> 00:31:36.740
 picking up the line

00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:37.099
 of thinking

00:31:37.099 --> 00:31:38.019
 from verses 32

00:31:38.019 --> 00:31:38.619
 and 33.

00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:40.740
 And in verse 36

00:31:40.740 --> 00:31:41.579
 he seems to be

00:31:41.579 --> 00:31:42.639
 responding to a

00:31:42.639 --> 00:31:43.460
 potential question

00:31:43.460 --> 00:31:44.199
 or a potential

00:31:44.199 --> 00:31:45.039
 sort of pushback

00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:45.639
 from the Corinthians.

00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:47.519
 They were probably

00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:48.399
 thinking something like

00:31:48.399 --> 00:31:49.199
 look Paul

00:31:49.199 --> 00:31:51.019
 won't this order

00:31:51.019 --> 00:31:51.899
 of yours

00:31:51.899 --> 00:31:53.179
 quench the spirit?

00:31:54.179 --> 00:31:54.559
 I mean

00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:55.699
 what if the spirit

00:31:55.699 --> 00:31:56.659
 gives me a word

00:31:56.659 --> 00:31:57.599
 that just has

00:31:57.599 --> 00:31:58.460
 to be said?

00:31:58.460 --> 00:31:59.939
 Do you really

00:31:59.939 --> 00:32:00.679
 want me to wait?

00:32:01.919 --> 00:32:02.579
 You surely

00:32:02.579 --> 00:32:02.939
 don't think

00:32:02.939 --> 00:32:03.419
 I should just

00:32:03.419 --> 00:32:04.220
 refuse

00:32:04.220 --> 00:32:05.319
 the leading

00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:06.079
 of the spirit?

00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:07.359
 Won't that stifle

00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:07.819
 God's work

00:32:07.819 --> 00:32:08.359
 in our midst?

00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:09.480
 Not to mention

00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:10.700
 squander the spirit's

00:32:10.700 --> 00:32:10.960
 gifts?

00:32:13.460 --> 00:32:14.539
 And Paul sort of

00:32:14.539 --> 00:32:15.859
 replies to that

00:32:15.859 --> 00:32:17.299
 critique or criticism

00:32:17.299 --> 00:32:18.859
 with a little bit

00:32:18.859 --> 00:32:19.500
 of sarcasm

00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:19.960
 doesn't he?

00:32:20.939 --> 00:32:21.700
 Oh really?

00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:23.960
 Does the word

00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:24.259
 of God

00:32:24.259 --> 00:32:25.019
 come from you?

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:27.819
 Are you the only

00:32:27.819 --> 00:32:28.859
 ones with the word

00:32:28.859 --> 00:32:29.299
 of God?

00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:31.659
 Do you have a corner

00:32:31.659 --> 00:32:32.559
 on how God's word

00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:33.179
 ought to work?

00:32:33.619 --> 00:32:34.619
 Are you the authorities

00:32:34.619 --> 00:32:35.399
 on this matter?

00:32:37.919 --> 00:32:38.279
 No

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:38.919
 Paul says

00:32:38.919 --> 00:32:40.959
 Jesus is

00:32:40.959 --> 00:32:43.599
 he's the Lord

00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:44.899
 and his word

00:32:44.899 --> 00:32:45.479
 is what we ought

00:32:45.479 --> 00:32:45.899
 to do

00:32:45.899 --> 00:32:48.719
 and his word

00:32:48.719 --> 00:32:49.199
 is that we ought

00:32:49.199 --> 00:32:49.739
 to do things

00:32:49.739 --> 00:32:50.819
 in an orderly way

00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:51.799
 and defer to one

00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:52.079
 another

00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:52.899
 and exercise

00:32:52.899 --> 00:32:53.559
 self-control

00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:54.199
 in our meetings

00:32:54.199 --> 00:32:56.000
 at the end

00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:56.599
 of verse 37

00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:57.019
 Paul says

00:32:57.019 --> 00:32:57.579
 the things

00:32:57.579 --> 00:32:58.079
 I'm writing

00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:58.500
 to you

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:59.299
 are a command

00:32:59.299 --> 00:32:59.939
 of the Lord

00:32:59.939 --> 00:33:00.819
 and in Paul's

00:33:00.819 --> 00:33:01.059
 writings

00:33:01.059 --> 00:33:01.559
 the Lord

00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:02.419
 almost always

00:33:02.419 --> 00:33:02.759
 means

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:03.239
 the Lord

00:33:03.239 --> 00:33:03.559
 Jesus

00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:04.879
 Jesus

00:33:04.879 --> 00:33:05.500
 himself

00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:06.399
 Paul is saying

00:33:06.399 --> 00:33:07.279
 wants worship

00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:08.379
 to be orderly

00:33:08.379 --> 00:33:10.220
 and friends

00:33:10.220 --> 00:33:11.299
 if that's true

00:33:11.299 --> 00:33:12.759
 if this is something

00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:13.399
 that Jesus

00:33:13.399 --> 00:33:14.500
 wants for us

00:33:14.500 --> 00:33:17.000
 isn't that enough?

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:19.940
 If the one

00:33:19.940 --> 00:33:20.879
 who loved us

00:33:20.879 --> 00:33:22.059
 and gave himself

00:33:22.059 --> 00:33:22.819
 for us

00:33:22.819 --> 00:33:24.980
 and who rose

00:33:24.980 --> 00:33:25.879
 again conquering

00:33:25.879 --> 00:33:26.179
 death

00:33:26.179 --> 00:33:26.700
 and who sits

00:33:26.700 --> 00:33:27.299
 at the Father's

00:33:27.299 --> 00:33:27.779
 right hand

00:33:27.779 --> 00:33:28.539
 interceding for us

00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:28.960
 and one day

00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:29.720
 will come again

00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:30.379
 in glory

00:33:30.379 --> 00:33:31.659
 if that Jesus

00:33:31.659 --> 00:33:32.240
 says

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:33.240
 when you

00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:33.799
 gather for

00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:34.099
 worship

00:33:34.099 --> 00:33:34.880
 do things

00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:35.539
 in an orderly

00:33:35.539 --> 00:33:35.880
 way

00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.039
 that should

00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:38.599
 be enough

00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:42.740
 if I happen

00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:43.259
 to get lost

00:33:43.259 --> 00:33:43.900
 in the woods

00:33:43.900 --> 00:33:45.539
 and suddenly

00:33:45.539 --> 00:33:46.240
 out of nowhere

00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:47.740
 Bear Grylls

00:33:47.740 --> 00:33:48.400
 comes down

00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:49.019
 on a line

00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:49.680
 and lands

00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:50.220
 next to me

00:33:50.220 --> 00:33:50.720
 and says

00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.180
 I'm not going

00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:52.640
 to try a British

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:53.019
 accent

00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:53.579
 you can fill

00:33:53.579 --> 00:33:53.940
 one in

00:33:53.940 --> 00:33:54.700
 hey

00:33:54.700 --> 00:33:55.599
 if we do

00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:56.240
 things this

00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:56.620
 way

00:33:56.620 --> 00:33:57.980
 we'll find

00:33:57.980 --> 00:33:58.299
 our way

00:33:58.299 --> 00:33:58.660
 again

00:33:58.660 --> 00:33:59.140
 and we'll

00:33:59.140 --> 00:33:59.420
 make it

00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:16.599
 us

00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:18.860

00:38:18.860 --> 00:38:19.119
 often

00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:19.420
 think

00:38:19.420 --> 00:38:19.579
 that

00:38:19.579 --> 00:38:19.799
 having

00:38:19.799 --> 00:38:19.960
 an

 authoritative

00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:20.739
 bible

00:38:20.739 --> 00:38:20.940

00:38:20.940 --> 00:38:21.099
 this

00:38:21.099 --> 00:38:21.440
 huge

00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:22.039
 problem

00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:23.139
 but

00:38:23.139 --> 00:38:23.460
 in fact

00:38:23.460 --> 00:38:23.639
 it's

00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:23.779
 this

00:38:23.779 --> 00:38:24.039
 great

00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:24.599
 gift

00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:25.819
 that

00:38:25.819 --> 00:38:25.920
 we

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:26.019
 don't

00:38:26.019 --> 00:38:26.119
 have

00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:26.199
 to

00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:26.519
 make

00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:26.799
 things

00:38:26.799 --> 00:38:26.980
 up

00:38:26.980 --> 00:38:27.079
 on

00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:27.219
 our

00:38:27.219 --> 00:38:27.559
 own

00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:28.539
 that

00:38:28.539 --> 00:38:28.639
 we

00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:28.739
 don't

00:38:28.739 --> 00:38:28.839
 have

 to

00:38:28.940 --> 00:38:29.219
 create

00:38:29.219 --> 00:38:29.500
 God

00:38:29.500 --> 00:38:29.619
 in

00:38:29.900 --> 00:38:30.139
 image

00:38:30.139 --> 00:38:30.239

00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:30.319
 we

00:38:30.319 --> 00:38:30.380
 don't

00:38:30.380 --> 00:38:30.440
 have

00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:30.539
 to

00:38:30.539 --> 00:38:31.079
 guess

00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:31.279
 what

00:38:31.279 --> 00:38:31.519
 Jesus

00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:31.920
 says

00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:32.159
 but

00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:32.299
 he

00:38:39.099 --> 00:38:39.400
 38

00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:39.619
 is

00:38:39.619 --> 00:38:39.799
 that

00:38:39.799 --> 00:38:40.339
 truly

00:38:40.339 --> 00:38:41.579
 spiritual

00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:42.679
 worship

00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:43.480
 places

00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:43.860
 the

00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:44.539
 apostolic

00:38:44.539 --> 00:38:44.860
 words

00:38:44.860 --> 00:38:45.000
 of

00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:45.279
 Jesus

00:38:45.279 --> 00:38:45.579
 which

00:38:45.579 --> 00:38:45.699
 we

00:38:45.699 --> 00:38:45.819
 have

00:38:45.819 --> 00:38:46.159
 preserved

00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:46.380
 for

00:38:46.380 --> 00:38:46.559
 us

00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:46.739
 in

00:38:46.739 --> 00:38:47.039
 scripture

00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:47.559
 at

00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:47.739
 the

00:38:47.739 --> 00:38:48.019
 center

00:38:48.019 --> 00:38:48.579
 of

00:38:48.579 --> 00:38:49.019
 everything

00:38:49.019 --> 00:38:50.880
 in

00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:51.039
 other

00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:51.219
 words

00:38:51.219 --> 00:38:51.759
 they're

00:38:51.759 --> 00:38:51.960
 the

00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:52.440
 order

00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:53.079
 underneath

00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:53.480
 the

00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:53.819
 order

00:38:53.819 --> 00:38:55.360
 that's

00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:55.519
 why

00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:55.719
 our

00:38:57.139 --> 00:38:57.339
 just

00:38:57.339 --> 00:38:58.099
 saturated

00:38:58.099 --> 00:38:58.420
 with

 want

00:39:02.579 --> 00:39:02.900
 them

 be

00:39:03.319 --> 00:39:04.400
 infused

00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:05.279

00:39:05.420 --> 00:39:05.719
 bible

00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:08.799
 why

00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:09.420
 because

00:39:09.420 --> 00:39:09.539
 we

00:39:13.200 --> 00:39:13.440
 else

00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:13.720
 better

00:39:13.720 --> 00:39:13.940
 to

00:39:13.940 --> 00:39:14.180
 say

00:39:14.180 --> 00:39:14.340
 than

00:39:14.340 --> 00:39:14.480
 what

00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:35.620
 ripped

00:45:35.620 --> 00:45:36.340
 down

00:45:36.340 --> 00:45:37.519
 through the

00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:37.840
 death

00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:38.079
 and the

00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:38.440
 resurrection

00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:38.940
 of Jesus

00:45:38.940 --> 00:45:39.480
 because we

00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:40.039
 all come

00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:40.559
 to God

00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:41.360
 on equal

00:45:41.360 --> 00:45:41.840
 terms

00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:42.720
 through him

00:45:42.720 --> 00:45:43.280
 and he

00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:43.880
 now is our

00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:44.300
 righteousness

00:45:44.300 --> 00:45:44.780
 and our

00:45:44.780 --> 00:45:45.079
 peace

00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:45.860
 not anything

00:45:45.860 --> 00:45:46.320
 else

00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:47.320
 peace

00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:49.519
 friends

00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:49.680
 the

00:45:49.680 --> 00:45:49.980
 God

00:45:49.980 --> 00:45:50.160
 we

00:45:50.160 --> 00:45:50.539
 worship

00:45:50.539 --> 00:45:51.080
 is the

00:45:51.080 --> 00:45:51.519
 God

00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:51.740
 of

00:45:51.740 --> 00:45:52.260
 peace

00:45:52.260 --> 00:45:54.019
 and our

00:45:54.019 --> 00:45:54.519
 gatherings

00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:55.280
 ought to be a

00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:55.880
 glorious

00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:57.240
 display of

00:45:57.240 --> 00:45:57.860
 that peace

00:45:57.860 --> 00:46:00.980
 and in the

00:46:00.980 --> 00:46:01.180
 Bible

00:46:01.180 --> 00:46:02.260
 peace is not

00:46:02.260 --> 00:46:03.019
 static

00:46:03.019 --> 00:46:04.059
 and it's not

00:46:04.059 --> 00:46:04.820
 lifeless

00:46:04.820 --> 00:46:06.340
 the biblical

00:46:06.340 --> 00:46:06.940
 concept of

00:46:06.940 --> 00:46:07.960
 peace is rich

00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:08.980
 and dynamic

00:46:08.980 --> 00:46:09.860
 it replaces

00:46:09.860 --> 00:46:10.720
 enmity and

00:46:10.720 --> 00:46:11.300
 conflict and

00:46:11.300 --> 00:46:11.740
 hostility

00:46:11.740 --> 00:46:12.420
 not with the

00:46:12.420 --> 00:46:13.059
 mere absence

00:46:13.059 --> 00:46:13.519
 of those

00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:13.840
 things

00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:14.740
 but with the

00:46:14.740 --> 00:46:15.460
 presence of

00:46:15.460 --> 00:46:16.260
 something positive

00:46:16.260 --> 00:46:17.300
 of harmony

00:46:17.300 --> 00:46:18.240
 and of right

00:46:18.240 --> 00:46:18.820
 relationship

00:46:18.820 --> 00:46:19.440
 and of the

00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:20.160
 world healed

00:46:20.160 --> 00:46:20.760
 and put back

00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:21.160
 the way it's

00:46:21.160 --> 00:46:21.980
 supposed to be

00:46:21.980 --> 00:46:24.120
 imagine a

00:46:24.120 --> 00:46:24.700
 highway where

00:46:24.700 --> 00:46:25.420
 everyone is

00:46:25.420 --> 00:46:26.140
 driving however

00:46:26.140 --> 00:46:27.019
 they see fit

00:46:27.019 --> 00:46:27.980
 what would that

00:46:27.980 --> 00:46:28.420
 look like

00:46:28.420 --> 00:46:29.180
 there would be

00:46:29.180 --> 00:46:29.960
 accidents and

00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:31.200
 chaos everywhere

00:46:31.200 --> 00:46:33.300
 and biblical

00:46:33.300 --> 00:46:33.980
 peace is not

00:46:33.980 --> 00:46:34.460
 just getting

00:46:34.460 --> 00:46:35.140
 everyone off the

00:46:35.140 --> 00:46:36.200
 road and

00:46:36.200 --> 00:46:36.620
 making an

00:46:36.620 --> 00:46:37.340
 empty highway

00:46:37.340 --> 00:46:38.440
 no biblical

00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:39.500
 peace is all

00:46:39.500 --> 00:46:40.519
 the cars of

00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:41.380
 all kinds

00:46:41.380 --> 00:46:43.100
 flowing seamlessly

00:46:43.099 --> 00:46:44.099
 to their

00:46:44.099 --> 00:46:45.119
 destination

00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:48.259
 and so friends

00:46:48.259 --> 00:46:49.259
 orderly worship

00:46:49.259 --> 00:46:50.039
 isn't necessarily

00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:50.579
 going to look

00:46:50.579 --> 00:46:51.059
 the same

00:46:51.059 --> 00:46:51.519
 everywhere

00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:53.599
 it's going to

00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:54.000
 take different

00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:54.679
 forms and

00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:55.480
 different rich

00:46:55.480 --> 00:46:56.019
 expressions

00:46:56.019 --> 00:46:56.980
 orderly worship

00:46:56.980 --> 00:46:57.339
 for our

00:46:57.339 --> 00:46:57.799
 Anglican

00:46:57.799 --> 00:46:58.239
 brothers and

00:46:58.239 --> 00:46:59.339
 sisters will

00:46:59.339 --> 00:47:00.059
 look different

00:47:00.059 --> 00:47:00.980
 from orderly

00:47:00.980 --> 00:47:01.519
 worship among

00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:02.319
 our Pentecostal

00:47:02.319 --> 00:47:02.779
 brothers and

00:47:02.779 --> 00:47:03.400
 sisters right

00:47:03.400 --> 00:47:04.779
 and they could

00:47:04.779 --> 00:47:06.179
 both be

00:47:06.179 --> 00:47:06.980
 upholding

00:47:06.980 --> 00:47:08.039
 Paul's

00:47:08.039 --> 00:47:08.799
 principle here

00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:12.720
 because biblical

00:47:12.720 --> 00:47:13.940
 peace displaying

00:47:13.940 --> 00:47:14.620
 the God of

00:47:14.620 --> 00:47:15.820
 peace biblical

00:47:15.820 --> 00:47:16.580
 peace is like a

00:47:16.580 --> 00:47:17.320
 great dance

00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:20.180
 where the

00:47:20.180 --> 00:47:21.080
 dynamic inner

00:47:21.080 --> 00:47:22.019
 life of our

00:47:22.019 --> 00:47:22.880
 triune God

00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:23.680
 Father Son and

00:47:23.680 --> 00:47:24.300
 Holy Spirit

00:47:24.300 --> 00:47:25.260
 begins to be

00:47:25.260 --> 00:47:26.380
 reflected in our

00:47:26.380 --> 00:47:27.100
 life together

00:47:27.100 --> 00:47:30.920
 so that where

00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:32.900
 once we just

00:47:32.900 --> 00:47:33.600
 tried to show

00:47:33.600 --> 00:47:34.340
 off our gifts

00:47:34.340 --> 00:47:36.340
 and pretend and

00:47:36.340 --> 00:47:37.220
 perform and make

00:47:37.220 --> 00:47:38.200
 ourselves look good

00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:40.679
 and as a result

00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:41.419
 there was conflict

00:47:41.419 --> 00:47:42.159
 and strife

00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:44.219
 now because of

00:47:44.219 --> 00:47:44.879
 what Jesus has

00:47:44.879 --> 00:47:45.480
 done and through

00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:46.099
 his spirit

00:47:46.099 --> 00:47:47.899
 we care more

00:47:47.899 --> 00:47:48.339
 about coming

00:47:48.339 --> 00:47:48.799
 together and

00:47:48.799 --> 00:47:49.299
 building each

00:47:49.299 --> 00:47:49.779
 other up

00:47:49.779 --> 00:47:50.779
 and there's

00:47:50.779 --> 00:47:51.519
 concord and

00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:52.439
 there's compassion

00:47:52.439 --> 00:47:53.039
 and there's even

00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:53.559
 deference

00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:57.960
 and of course

00:47:57.960 --> 00:47:58.519
 another name for

00:47:58.519 --> 00:47:59.299
 all this is love

00:47:59.299 --> 00:48:01.960
 and that's what

00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:02.679
 1 Corinthians 12

00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:03.399
 through 14 has

00:48:03.399 --> 00:48:03.939
 really been all

00:48:03.939 --> 00:48:04.279
 about

00:48:04.279 --> 00:48:05.679
 hasn't it

00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:07.939
 with chapter 13

00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:09.300
 beating like a

00:48:09.300 --> 00:48:10.019
 heart in the

00:48:10.019 --> 00:48:10.420
 middle of it

00:48:10.420 --> 00:48:14.519
 all love a

00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:15.599
 love that issues

00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:17.780
 in peace and

00:48:17.780 --> 00:48:18.260
 friends isn't

00:48:18.260 --> 00:48:18.960
 that the gospel

00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:21.440
 as James said

00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:22.200
 earlier that God

00:48:22.200 --> 00:48:23.800
 so loved us that

00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:25.960
 he came and he

00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:26.559
 paid the penalty

00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:28.340
 for our sins to

00:48:28.340 --> 00:48:28.900
 give us eternal

00:48:28.900 --> 00:48:29.860
 life to give us

00:48:29.860 --> 00:48:31.099
 unending peace

00:48:31.099 --> 00:48:34.839
 peace and

00:48:34.839 --> 00:48:35.279
 friends in our

00:48:35.279 --> 00:48:36.219
 chaotic world

00:48:36.219 --> 00:48:37.000
 that may be the

00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:37.759
 hardest thing

00:48:37.759 --> 00:48:39.039
 to come by

00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:42.000
 we are hard

00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:43.319
 pressed to even

00:48:43.319 --> 00:48:44.079
 get a glimpse

00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:45.420
 of peace

00:48:45.420 --> 00:48:49.019
 but the vision

00:48:49.019 --> 00:48:49.739
 here is that in

00:48:49.739 --> 00:48:50.719
 our life together

00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:51.599
 as the church

00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:53.940
 that here

00:48:53.940 --> 00:48:54.960
 there's actually

00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:55.739
 a foretaste

00:48:55.739 --> 00:48:56.119
 of it

00:48:56.119 --> 00:48:57.980
 that here

00:48:57.980 --> 00:48:58.619
 the hurting

00:48:58.619 --> 00:48:59.679
 world can actually

00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:00.759
 see something

00:49:00.759 --> 00:49:01.379
 different

00:49:01.379 --> 00:49:02.779
 they can actually

00:49:02.779 --> 00:49:04.039
 see God's

00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:05.399
 peace on display

00:49:05.399 --> 00:49:08.339
 that they can

00:49:08.339 --> 00:49:08.980
 find a people

00:49:08.980 --> 00:49:09.539
 of peace

00:49:09.539 --> 00:49:10.440
 displaying

00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:11.419
 the God

00:49:11.419 --> 00:49:11.940
 of peace

00:49:11.940 --> 00:49:14.940
 the God

00:49:14.940 --> 00:49:15.179
 who made

00:49:15.179 --> 00:49:15.759
 peace for his

00:49:15.759 --> 00:49:16.299
 enemies through

00:49:16.299 --> 00:49:16.899
 his own death

00:49:16.899 --> 00:49:17.500
 on a cross

00:49:17.500 --> 00:49:21.539
 and of course

00:49:21.539 --> 00:49:22.059
 Paul's vision

00:49:22.059 --> 00:49:22.839
 isn't just that

00:49:22.839 --> 00:49:23.759
 they'd see it

00:49:23.759 --> 00:49:24.179
 on Sunday

00:49:24.179 --> 00:49:24.639
 mornings

00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:26.179
 but as we

00:49:26.179 --> 00:49:26.759
 go out from

00:49:26.759 --> 00:49:27.199
 here they'd

00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:27.699
 see it in

00:49:27.699 --> 00:49:28.480
 all that we

00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:28.779
 do

00:49:28.779 --> 00:49:31.379
 in our

00:49:31.379 --> 00:49:31.779
 families

00:49:31.779 --> 00:49:32.119
 in our

00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:32.460
 work

00:49:32.460 --> 00:49:32.719
 in our

00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:33.219
 relationships

00:49:33.219 --> 00:49:33.679
 with our

00:49:33.679 --> 00:49:34.000
 neighbors

00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:36.259
 that there

00:49:36.259 --> 00:49:36.539
 would just

00:49:36.539 --> 00:49:37.359
 be an aroma

00:49:37.359 --> 00:49:38.039
 of something

00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:38.719
 different

00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:40.399
 of peace

00:49:40.399 --> 00:49:43.179
 so you see

00:49:43.179 --> 00:49:43.779
 friends orderly

00:49:43.779 --> 00:49:44.359
 worship isn't

00:49:44.359 --> 00:49:45.159
 just order for

00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:45.919
 order's sake

00:49:45.919 --> 00:49:46.599
 ultimately

00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:48.239
 at its highest

00:49:48.239 --> 00:49:48.980
 end it's a

00:49:48.980 --> 00:49:49.599
 reflection of

00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:50.039
 God's own

00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:50.539
 character

00:49:50.539 --> 00:49:53.019
 it's a

00:49:53.019 --> 00:49:53.599
 reflection of

00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:54.039
 that character

00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:54.820
 out into the

00:49:54.820 --> 00:49:55.259
 world God

00:49:55.259 --> 00:49:55.739
 has made

00:49:55.739 --> 00:49:56.279
 this world

00:49:56.279 --> 00:49:56.920
 that God

00:49:56.920 --> 00:49:58.440
 aims to

00:49:58.440 --> 00:49:59.279
 restore and

00:49:59.279 --> 00:49:59.739
 to renew

00:49:59.739 --> 00:50:02.880
 does that

00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:03.360
 seem stunning

00:50:03.360 --> 00:50:04.099
 to you

00:50:04.099 --> 00:50:06.199
 could something

00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:06.900
 as small

00:50:06.900 --> 00:50:07.360
 as our

00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:08.079
 public worship

00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:08.519
 gathering

00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:09.380
 really play

00:50:09.380 --> 00:50:10.300
 that big

00:50:10.300 --> 00:50:11.219
 of a part

00:50:11.219 --> 00:50:11.840
 in God's

00:50:11.840 --> 00:50:12.460
 purposes in

00:50:12.460 --> 00:50:12.900
 the world

00:50:12.900 --> 00:50:16.019
 giving people

00:50:16.019 --> 00:50:16.539
 a glimpse

00:50:16.539 --> 00:50:17.179
 of who God

00:50:17.179 --> 00:50:17.599
 is

00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:21.940
 hands down

00:50:21.940 --> 00:50:22.299
 the Bible

00:50:22.299 --> 00:50:22.799
 would say

00:50:22.799 --> 00:50:23.420
 yes

00:50:23.420 --> 00:50:25.079
 yes it

00:50:25.079 --> 00:50:25.460
 does

00:50:25.460 --> 00:50:28.179
 and let's

00:50:28.179 --> 00:50:28.940
 pray that

00:50:28.940 --> 00:50:29.599
 our worship

00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:30.099
 gatherings

00:50:30.099 --> 00:50:30.599
 and our

00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:31.239
 life together

00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:32.199
 do the

00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:32.739
 same thing

00:50:32.739 --> 00:50:34.659
 let's pray

00:50:34.659 --> 00:50:35.019
 together

00:50:35.019 --> 00:50:38.420
 God we

00:50:38.420 --> 00:50:38.779
 praise you

00:50:38.779 --> 00:50:39.000
 as the

00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:39.259
 God of

00:50:39.259 --> 00:50:39.579
 peace

00:50:39.579 --> 00:50:41.500
 and we

00:50:41.500 --> 00:50:41.779
 ask that

00:50:41.779 --> 00:50:42.019
 we would

00:50:42.019 --> 00:50:42.219
 be a

00:50:42.219 --> 00:50:42.619
 people of

00:50:42.619 --> 00:50:42.960
 peace

00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:44.559
 Lord not

00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:44.980
 just in how

00:50:44.980 --> 00:50:45.380
 we conduct

00:50:45.380 --> 00:50:45.940
 ourselves on

00:50:45.940 --> 00:50:46.460
 Sunday but

00:50:46.460 --> 00:50:46.860
 in all of

00:50:46.860 --> 00:50:46.980
 our

00:50:46.980 --> 00:50:47.500
 relationships

00:50:47.500 --> 00:50:49.559
 we need

00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:49.960
 your spirit

00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:50.280
 to make

00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:50.719
 this happen

00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:51.199
 God so

00:50:51.199 --> 00:50:51.679
 often we

00:50:51.679 --> 00:50:52.000
 have fallen

00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:52.539
 short as

00:50:52.539 --> 00:50:53.039
 your church

00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:54.840
 but thank you

00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:55.159
 that you have

00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:55.900
 not left us

00:50:55.900 --> 00:50:57.079
 but you've

00:50:57.079 --> 00:50:57.539
 given us your

00:50:57.539 --> 00:50:58.159
 holy spirit

00:50:58.159 --> 00:50:58.900
 to work out

00:50:58.900 --> 00:50:59.420
 this peace

00:50:59.420 --> 00:50:59.739
 that you've

00:50:59.739 --> 00:51:00.320
 granted us

00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:01.900
 so God

00:51:01.900 --> 00:51:02.659
 heal us

00:51:02.659 --> 00:51:05.119
 make us a

00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:05.780
 loving people

00:51:05.780 --> 00:51:06.380
 and help

00:51:06.380 --> 00:51:07.539
 this world

00:51:07.539 --> 00:51:08.219
 that you love

00:51:08.219 --> 00:51:08.679
 our city

00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:09.179
 that you love

00:51:09.179 --> 00:51:09.800

00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:10.340
 to see

00:51:10.340 --> 00:51:10.920
 peace

00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:11.840
 in and

00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:12.340
 through us

00:51:12.340 --> 00:51:14.340
 we pray

00:51:14.340 --> 00:51:14.760
 this in your

00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:15.320
 name Jesus

00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:16.159
 our prince of

00:51:16.159 --> 00:51:16.480
 peace

00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:17.619
 amen

00:51:17.619 --> 00:51:21.579
 well friends

00:51:21.579 --> 00:51:22.079
 the music team

00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:22.360
 is going to

00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:22.760
 come up and

00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:23.240
 lead us in a

00:51:23.240 --> 00:51:23.780
 final hymn

00:51:23.780 --> 00:51:24.099
 and let's

00:51:24.099 --> 00:51:24.400
 use the

00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:25.260
 words of

00:51:25.260 --> 00:51:25.599
 this hymn

00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:26.179
 as a means

00:51:26.179 --> 00:51:26.559
 of just

00:51:26.559 --> 00:51:27.480
 meditating on

00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:28.420
 and reflecting

00:51:28.420 --> 00:51:29.860
 and taking

00:51:29.860 --> 00:51:30.199
 into our

00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:30.619
 hearts the

00:51:30.619 --> 00:51:31.119
 message of

00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:32.000
 our passage

00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:32.500
 this morning

00:51:32.500 --> 00:51:40.440
 would you

00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:40.699
 stand

00:51:40.699 --> 00:51:51.419
 beneath the

00:51:51.419 --> 00:51:53.000
 cross of

00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:54.679
 Jesus

00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:57.619
 I find a

00:51:57.619 --> 00:51:58.960
 place to

00:51:58.960 --> 00:51:59.919
 stand

00:51:59.919 --> 00:52:03.299
 and wonder

00:52:03.299 --> 00:52:04.980
 at such

00:52:04.980 --> 00:52:06.579
 mercy

00:52:06.579 --> 00:52:07.719
 that

00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:09.139
 upholds

00:52:09.139 --> 00:52:09.519
 me

00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:11.000
 as I

00:52:11.000 --> 00:52:12.639
 am

00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:13.840
 for

00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:15.019
 hands

00:52:15.019 --> 00:52:16.000
 that should

00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:17.239
 discard

00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:18.279
 me

00:52:18.279 --> 00:52:19.819
 hold

00:52:19.819 --> 00:52:20.920
 wounds

00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:22.019
 which tell

00:52:22.019 --> 00:52:22.719
 me

00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:23.579
 come

00:52:23.579 --> 00:52:25.819
 beneath

00:52:25.819 --> 00:52:27.900
 the cross

00:52:27.900 --> 00:52:28.599
 of

00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:30.179
 Jesus

00:52:30.179 --> 00:52:31.239
 my

00:52:31.239 --> 00:52:32.779
 undirty

00:52:32.779 --> 00:52:33.840
 soul

00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:34.700
 is

00:52:34.700 --> 00:52:40.500
 beneath

00:52:40.500 --> 00:52:42.579
 the cross

00:52:42.579 --> 00:52:43.360
 of

00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:44.940
 Jesus

00:52:44.940 --> 00:52:46.260
 his

00:52:46.260 --> 00:52:47.519
 family

00:52:47.519 --> 00:52:48.600
 is

00:52:48.600 --> 00:52:49.320
 my

00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:50.880
 own

00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:52.059
 what

00:52:52.059 --> 00:52:53.360
 strangers

00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:54.440
 chasing

00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:56.440
 selfish

00:52:56.440 --> 00:52:57.099
 dreams

00:52:57.099 --> 00:52:58.079
 of

00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:00.200
 the grace

00:53:00.200 --> 00:53:01.059
 of

00:53:01.059 --> 00:53:03.440
 how

00:53:03.440 --> 00:53:04.099
 could

 I

00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:11.059
 that

00:53:11.059 --> 00:53:11.659
 you

00:53:11.659 --> 00:53:12.460
 have

00:53:12.460 --> 00:53:14.099
 known

00:53:14.099 --> 00:53:15.599
 beneath

00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:17.639
 the cross

 God

00:53:25.099 --> 00:53:26.480
 love

00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:30.259
 beneath

00:53:41.579 --> 00:53:42.639
 follow

00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:43.980
 in

00:53:43.980 --> 00:53:44.659
 his

00:53:44.659 --> 00:53:46.259
 footsteps

00:53:46.259 --> 00:53:47.579
 where

 promise

 joy

00:53:55.560 --> 00:53:56.700
 before

00:53:58.100 --> 00:53:59.019
 to

 Jesus

00:54:09.760 --> 00:54:10.860
 we

00:54:10.860 --> 00:54:11.240
 will

00:54:11.240 --> 00:54:12.340
 bear
