WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.060
 Thank you, choir.

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:15.320
 That was an inspiring song, and we're grateful for the hard work you put into that.

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:22.879
! We have been in this series in Romans for a number of weeks, and I was thinking through

00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:29.780
 whether to prepare an exclusive kind of one-off sermon, taking a break from our series,

00:00:30.579 --> 00:00:43.140
 to talk about America and our 250th anniversary, or whether there was a way to find some of

00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:47.400
 the themes that we're talking about at this time of year, and in this year specifically,

00:00:47.980 --> 00:00:52.379
 within the pages of our text in Romans chapter 8.

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.859
 And I believe, y'all don't let me know until after the service, but I believe I was able

00:00:57.859 --> 00:00:58.539
 to do that.

00:00:58.539 --> 00:00:59.159
 All right.

00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:00.659
 All right.

00:01:00.659 --> 00:01:11.039
 So, I want to, first of all, just kind of share some thoughts with you before we dive

00:01:11.039 --> 00:01:14.579
 back into Romans chapter 8, where we talked before.

00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:19.500
 Of all the world's inventions, how many of you know America has been an inventing country?

00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:21.640
 We have invented many great things.

00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:28.680
 Of all the world's inventions, the dry erase board has to be the most remarkable.

00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:33.140
 Remarkable.

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:36.319
 Yes.

00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:37.599
 Thank you.

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:39.640
 It just got there.

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:44.760
 I was using super glue, and I accidentally glued my finger and my thumb together.

00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:46.400
 It's okay now.

00:01:50.260 --> 00:01:52.439
 What do you call a cow with no legs?

00:01:54.099 --> 00:01:54.799
 Ground beef.

00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:55.180
 Y'all know.

00:01:55.180 --> 00:01:59.980
 What do you call a cow with two legs shorter than the others?

00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:02.439
 Lean beef.

00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.079
 Why do cows wear bells?

00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:09.859
 Because their horns don't work.

00:02:13.419 --> 00:02:16.879
 I could keep going, but I think I've milked the cow jokes long enough.

00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:19.280
 I know, I know.

00:02:19.340 --> 00:02:20.199
 They're utterly terrible.

00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:20.960
 All right.

00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:30.319
 And of course, one of the best dad jokes out there, when is a door, not a door, when it's

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:30.540
 a jar.

00:02:30.700 --> 00:02:31.140
 There you go.

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.740
 How many of you, your child has said, dad, I'm hungry.

00:02:38.060 --> 00:02:39.900
 You said, nice to meet you, hungry.

00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:40.500
 I'm Sam.

00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:44.219
 What are y'all doing?

00:02:44.219 --> 00:02:46.879
 You're groaning, either audibly or inside.

00:02:47.020 --> 00:02:48.340
 You're groaning right now, right?

00:02:48.340 --> 00:02:53.319
 I'm wondering what on earth all these dad jokes have to do with America's 250th or Romans

00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:53.920
 chapter eight.

00:02:54.060 --> 00:02:59.199
 Well, I'm glad you asked that question because groaning is exactly the reaction that I was

00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.039
 hoping to get you to this morning.

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.960
 Groaning means make it stop, right?

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.420
 Some of you are begging for it to stop right now.

00:03:10.140 --> 00:03:18.280
 Well, as we celebrate America's 250th birthday this weekend, our nation, if we're honest, has

00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:22.680
 been for quite some time doing a lot of real groaning.

00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:29.280
 No matter your politics, we look at our nation, we look at our country and we feel the division,

00:03:29.740 --> 00:03:31.740
 we feel the tension, we feel the brokenness.

00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:36.759
 We love our nation, but we groan for it.

00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:43.780
 And it just so happens that Paul picks up where we left off last week in Romans chapter eight

00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:46.739
 by talking about groaning.

00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:55.120
 So as we think past, we think that of the 250 years that have just passed in our nation's history,

00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.120
 history.

00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:01.140
 We see videos like that and we hear choir songs and we sing our national anthem.

00:04:01.420 --> 00:04:05.280
 And I know there are people in the room whose birthplace was not America and we're grateful

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:06.759
 for your presence here.

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.819
 Some of you have become naturalized citizens and I'm sure you share from your own perspective

00:04:11.819 --> 00:04:17.860
 some of the love that we as natural born American citizens have for our country.

00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:25.600
 But as we study American history, we think back through the 250 years that have passed.

00:04:26.340 --> 00:04:27.759
 There's much to be proud of.

00:04:29.580 --> 00:04:34.860
 If we're honest, there's some that would cause us to hang our head in shame.

00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:44.199
 And we look at our current moment in American society and it does cause heartbreak.

00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:47.560
 It does cause groaning.

00:04:49.259 --> 00:04:52.480
 So turn with me if you're in your Bibles, if you would, to Romans chapter eight.

00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.840
 And let's look at verse 18.

00:04:57.060 --> 00:05:00.720
 Paul talks about groaning for about 13 verses here.

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:09.240
 And I'll try not to make you to groan too much more as we explore the theme of from groaning

00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.200
 to glory, from groaning to glory.

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.200
 This is also true of American history.

00:05:17.340 --> 00:05:24.720
 You think of the birth pains that America went through finding its liberty from England, the

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:31.920
 United Kingdom, and going through the difficulties of becoming a nation, getting its feet under it.

00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:42.340
 And then to the glory that came as America became the world's foremost superpower and oftentimes a force for good around this globe.

00:05:42.339 --> 00:05:46.139
 And we see the glory that America has enjoyed.

00:05:47.060 --> 00:05:49.819
 But we know the groaning that it took to get it there.

00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:55.319
 And that mirrors what a lot of us experience as the people of God.

00:05:55.899 --> 00:06:00.620
 So let's look at Romans chapter eight and verse 18.

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:09.000
 If you wouldn't mind joining me in standing if you're able to, we're just going to read the first few verses together.

00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.300
 And then we'll work through the rest of the chapter.

00:06:12.540 --> 00:06:20.040
 Yet what we suffer now, verse 18, is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.

00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:21.759
 From groaning to glory.

00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:29.639
 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.319
 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God's curse.

00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:43.459
 But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay.

00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:51.219
 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.399
 And we believers also groan.

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:01.240
 Even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory.

00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:06.620
 For we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering.

00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:13.579
 We too wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children.

00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:17.319
 Including the new bodies he has promised us.

00:07:17.579 --> 00:07:22.920
 God, we thank you for this passage that applies to so many parts of our life and our nation.

00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.920
 God, I pray that you reveal your truth to us.

00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.300
 May it be done by the power of your spirit.

00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:31.439
 It's in Jesus' name we pray.

00:07:31.580 --> 00:07:31.800
 Amen.

00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:32.720
 You may be seated.

00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:34.480
 Thank you for standing.

00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:40.200
 In the first 17 verses we worked through last Sunday here in Romans 8.

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:47.340
 We talked about, we saw how the Holy Spirit is working inside of us to break the power of our past.

00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:48.160
 To free us.

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:49.580
 To change our identity.

00:07:49.579 --> 00:08:00.939
 And now, as Paul is picking it up here in verse 18, we see that God's rescue plan to do that in us is much bigger than just saving our individual souls.

00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:06.979
 He is working to heal, to restore all of his creation.

00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:17.100
 So, this leads us, as we study from groaning to glory in the pages of Romans 8, this leads us to the first thought I want you to take home with you today.

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.319
 While we are waiting, God is working.

00:08:20.580 --> 00:08:21.520
 You could say it this way.

00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.800
 While we are groaning, God is preparing us for glory.

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.379
 While we are waiting, God is always at work.

00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:33.879
 For 250 years, the American experiment has been remarkable.

00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:38.860
 It's been a remarkable experiment in human freedom, in liberty.

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:49.860
 But no human empire, no nation, going back to Greece and Rome and Babylon and any empire or nation that has risen above the rest in the history of this world,

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.059
 has ever been or will ever be the final destination.

00:08:54.659 --> 00:08:55.919
 It is not the culmination.

00:08:56.019 --> 00:08:56.919
 It's not the end.

00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:02.960
 Every country, including our own, experiences the groaning of a broken world.

00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:06.379
 We did it at the beginning of our nation and we still do it today.

00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:08.780
 We see the groaning and the brokenness around us.

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:16.759
 So, don't judge God's ultimate plan by the temporary chaos you see when you turn on the news or you log on to social media

00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:21.180
 or you just interact with those around you or even when you look in the mirror.

00:09:22.460 --> 00:09:24.320
 God is working through all that.

00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.740
 He has a plan that is bigger than any single nation.

00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:37.980
 So, I want to highlight some doctrines that we find in the pages of Romans 8 as we work through this.

00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:46.680
 And remarkably, in verses 18 through 30, I want to draw your attention to this idea of glorification.

00:09:47.180 --> 00:09:48.279
 What is glorification?

00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.559
 It is the new creation but a future glory that will come.

00:09:55.279 --> 00:10:00.279
 God is working on us to reveal his glory in us.

00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.899
 That is a wild concept to wrap our heads around.

00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:08.980
 That God wants to use broken humans like you and me to reveal his glory.

00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:15.940
 Oftentimes, God has used a people group or a nation to reveal his glory.

00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.440
 We've seen him do that even through the United States of America.

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.080
 Look at verse 18 down through 22.

00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:27.480
 We see this idea that your present suffering is real.

00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:33.580
 God is not ignoring or denying or minimizing your present suffering that you're going through.

00:10:33.580 --> 00:10:46.420
 So, whatever is going on in your life that you're suffering through right now, whether it's external problems or internal problems, whether it's something you can't control or a failing on your part, your suffering is real.

00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.100
 But it's not the end.

00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.000
 A future glory awaits.

00:10:51.780 --> 00:10:55.040
 So, don't judge God's faithfulness by today's circumstances.

00:10:55.259 --> 00:10:58.080
 Today's pain is not the final chapter.

00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:00.400
 Verse 18, what did it say?

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:04.559
 What we suffer now is, what did it say?

00:11:05.100 --> 00:11:09.799
 Nothing compared to the glory that later will come.

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:11.959
 That he will reveal later.

00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:13.939
 Do you see the wording there?

00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:18.919
 It said, what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.

00:11:19.179 --> 00:11:20.179
 You know what that implies?

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:21.740
 That the glory is real.

00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:23.579
 The glory is already present.

00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.460
 It hasn't all been revealed yet.

00:11:27.460 --> 00:11:28.600
 Man, that encourages me.

00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.480
 When I feel that there is no hope.

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.220
 When I feel that nothing is really going to get better.

00:11:35.539 --> 00:11:36.879
 You know, we talked about last Sunday.

00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:38.100
 You move somewhere.

00:11:38.259 --> 00:11:39.139
 You change jobs.

00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:41.459
 You try to get a fresh start in some way.

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.259
 Only to be reminded that it's still you in the new place.

00:11:45.340 --> 00:11:47.459
 It's still you in the new job.

00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:52.279
 And it's still you carrying the same you that caused problems in the last place.

00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:53.799
 Or the last job.

00:11:53.799 --> 00:12:04.399
 But through all that, God is saying he's working on you through the groaning to bring you to be aware.

00:12:04.959 --> 00:12:09.559
 To reveal his glory within that situation.

00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.219
 And within your life.

00:12:11.839 --> 00:12:13.839
 And within the life of our nation.

00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.599
 So your present suffering is real, but it's not the end.

00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.399
 And then look down at verse 23.

00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:21.779
 We believers also groan.

00:12:22.659 --> 00:12:27.240
 Even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory.

00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:30.000
 We know, yes, God's Spirit seals me.

00:12:30.300 --> 00:12:33.620
 I'm promised to be with God forever in what we call heaven.

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:38.180
 He said, but then we long for our bodies to release.

00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:40.320
 To be released from sin and suffering.

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:41.740
 We're longing for that day.

00:12:42.040 --> 00:12:43.420
 Why isn't it here yet, God?

00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:45.559
 God, Paul said it this way.

00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:47.579
 Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.

00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.379
 God, don't drag this thing out.

00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:52.479
 It's getting rough down here.

00:12:53.259 --> 00:13:01.059
 And then he says, we too wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children.

00:13:01.199 --> 00:13:03.679
 So it's okay to feel like you're waiting.

00:13:03.979 --> 00:13:06.860
 It's okay to feel like you're in an in-between time.

00:13:08.099 --> 00:13:12.120
 And this has eschatological implications.

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:13.539
 That's eschatology.

00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:14.980
 What is eschatology?

00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:17.340
 The doctrine of the end times.

00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:19.679
 The things that have not yet happened.

00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.759
 The things that we leave to God in his hands.

00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:25.279
 And we can read in the book of Revelation.

00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:27.519
 We can look at Daniel's prophecy.

00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:32.419
 We can look at many, Isaiah, Jeremiah, many of the Old Testament prophets.

00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.440
 And then the writings of Paul and others.

00:13:34.539 --> 00:13:38.620
 In 1 Thessalonians, we see eschatology pop up throughout the scriptures.

00:13:38.620 --> 00:13:42.019
 When they're talking about things that haven't yet come.

00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:43.679
 Things that haven't yet come to pass.

00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:44.940
 This is eschatology.

00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:46.560
 And that's what this is talking about.

00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:49.879
 How does eschatology apply to our everyday life?

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:51.860
 It's the idea of trust.

00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:55.220
 It's the idea of while I'm waiting, I know God is working.

00:13:55.220 --> 00:14:00.100
 So it's okay for me to wait right now.

00:14:00.580 --> 00:14:01.800
 Try telling your kid that.

00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:03.899
 When he's waiting for dessert.

00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.600
 And you say it's okay to wait.

00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:08.360
 Or he's waiting for a treat or a reward or a surprise.

00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:10.100
 Tell me what the surprise is.

00:14:10.180 --> 00:14:11.519
 No, then it wouldn't be a surprise.

00:14:11.680 --> 00:14:12.920
 Yeah, but I want to know right now.

00:14:12.980 --> 00:14:13.779
 I don't want to wait.

00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:16.500
 And we don't want to wait either.

00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:22.040
 But God is teaching us that while we're waiting, he's working.

00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.860
 The groaning brings the glory.

00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.299
 It's all part of the process.

00:14:29.779 --> 00:14:32.879
 Trust the process of our heavenly father.

00:14:33.579 --> 00:14:35.919
 Faith doesn't mean having everything now.

00:14:36.319 --> 00:14:39.500
 It means trusting God when you don't have everything.

00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.159
 Trusting that he will provide everything you need.

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:50.399
 And someday he'll provide everything you could possibly want.

00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.679
 When your soul is aligned with his.

00:14:55.379 --> 00:14:59.039
 Problem is our souls are not aligned with his.

00:15:00.099 --> 00:15:01.299
 Our souls are distracted.

00:15:01.439 --> 00:15:04.879
 Our mind, our will, our emotions are influenced by this world around us.

00:15:04.939 --> 00:15:08.639
 By the brokenness that still struggles with the spirit within us.

00:15:09.860 --> 00:15:12.279
 And so we feel like we don't have everything we want.

00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.079
 And we struggle with waiting.

00:15:16.319 --> 00:15:19.000
 So your present suffering is real, but it's not the end.

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.179
 It's okay to feel like you're waiting.

00:15:21.179 --> 00:15:22.399
 It can be a good thing.

00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.759
 And then in verse 26, Romans 8 and verse 26.

00:15:29.419 --> 00:15:36.259
 By the way, if you don't have a copy of the word of God, there should be one in front of you in the seat back.

00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:38.659
 Or you can look on with somebody who does.

00:15:38.779 --> 00:15:40.039
 The Bible app is on the phone.

00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.479
 That can be a handy thing for you to pull up as well.

00:15:42.539 --> 00:15:44.659
 But Romans chapter 8 and verse 26.

00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:47.599
 The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness.

00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:51.040
 For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for.

00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.440
 You ever realize that?

00:15:52.580 --> 00:15:53.399
 Has that ever hit you?

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.279
 I don't exactly know what I should be praying for right now.

00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.040
 Yes.

00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.480
 But Paul is identifying with that as he writes to the church in Rome.

00:16:00.740 --> 00:16:01.139
 But he says,

00:16:01.139 --> 00:16:08.799
 Here's more groaning, right?

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.720
 More groaning that will result in God's glory.

00:16:13.139 --> 00:16:15.620
 The Holy Spirit is praying for us.

00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:22.139
 And the Father who knows our hearts, knows all hearts, he knows what that Holy Spirit is saying.

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:23.939
 He knows what those groanings mean.

00:16:23.940 --> 00:16:29.540
 For the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will.

00:16:29.640 --> 00:16:30.400
 That's the secret.

00:16:30.780 --> 00:16:34.640
 When you and I pray for things, sometimes it's in harmony with God's will.

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:36.940
 Harmony means it sounds right, you know?

00:16:37.180 --> 00:16:38.580
 How many of you like to sing harmony?

00:16:38.680 --> 00:16:39.340
 How many of you are able?

00:16:39.520 --> 00:16:41.500
 Your ear hears harmony parts.

00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:44.020
 There's some kind of halfway.

00:16:44.280 --> 00:16:44.460
 Yeah.

00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.040
 My dad was a pastor growing up.

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:50.880
 His secretary was, she was a natural harmony singer.

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:52.500
 And she would sit with our family.

00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:57.100
 I would stand next to her so every time we sang during church, she would sing harmony parts.

00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:00.320
 And I learned harmony that way just by standing next to her.

00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.299
 So I would always then go and pick out harmony parts myself.

00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.099
 Harmony means you're not singing the melody line that was written,

00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:10.400
 the main line that you normally sing when you sing a song.

00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:14.140
 But you're singing a part that is closely related to that.

00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:16.099
 And it meshes well.

00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.220
 It breathes well.

00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:18.579
 It works well together.

00:17:18.579 --> 00:17:23.339
 And so when you and I pray, we're not always praying in harmony with the Holy Spirit.

00:17:23.939 --> 00:17:29.839
 But when our hearts are aligned with God, even if our requests aren't always aligned with God's will,

00:17:30.099 --> 00:17:32.359
 the Holy Spirit prays on our behalf.

00:17:33.159 --> 00:17:36.759
 He says, God, this is what we need.

00:17:37.199 --> 00:17:38.679
 This is what they need.

00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:40.319
 This is what they want.

00:17:40.439 --> 00:17:42.159
 Their heart is toward you.

00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:48.160
 And even if their request is not toward you, I'm praying for them.

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:52.840
 I'm pleading on their behalf in harmony with God's will.

00:17:53.420 --> 00:17:56.940
 So the Spirit is making intercession for us.

00:17:57.259 --> 00:17:58.200
 What is intercession?

00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:00.279
 It is hardcore prayer.

00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:01.000
 Okay?

00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:03.000
 What is intercessory prayer?

00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.700
 It means you are ridding yourself of any other distraction.

00:18:05.700 --> 00:18:11.860
 You are focusing in on going before God and pleading for a cause.

00:18:12.019 --> 00:18:16.420
 And the Holy Spirit is doing that for you and for me.

00:18:16.580 --> 00:18:17.700
 For your kids.

00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:19.420
 For your grandkids.

00:18:19.900 --> 00:18:21.279
 For your coworker.

00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.160
 For your neighbor that's on your heart.

00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:27.180
 For the people that make you, keep you up at night.

00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:29.039
 The people that make you lose sleep.

00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:41.799
 Even when we don't intercede for them as often as we could, the Holy Spirit makes intercession for us.

00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:44.559
 That's a comfort for you and for me.

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.139
 So while we're waiting, the Holy Spirit's making intercession.

00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.000
 While we're waiting, God is working.

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:52.879
 And then down in verse 28.

00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:58.960
 As you're looking at verse 28, I want to share this verse with you.

00:18:59.100 --> 00:19:09.320
 Jesus is able to save those who come to God through him completely and forever since he always lives to make intercession for them.

00:19:09.520 --> 00:19:12.900
 Isn't it amazing that God makes intercession for us?

00:19:13.100 --> 00:19:14.120
 We're going to see that again.

00:19:14.280 --> 00:19:17.040
 That the Holy Spirit is not the only one doing the interceding.

00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:24.299
 In just a minute, a little bit later in Romans 8, we're going to see how Jesus the Son is also making intercession for us.

00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:31.099
 But it is such a comfort and a reminder to the believer that God is praying to himself for us.

00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:32.980
 What an incredible thought.

00:19:33.639 --> 00:19:35.639
 And then down in verse 28, if you're there.

00:19:36.259 --> 00:19:46.279
 We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

00:19:47.500 --> 00:19:48.680
 How many of you have heard that verse before?

00:19:48.779 --> 00:19:49.500
 Romans 8, 28.

00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:52.960
 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God.

00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:53.180
 Yeah.

00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:56.279
 That's a verse that we love to claim.

00:19:56.420 --> 00:20:00.440
 Sometimes when things are going wrong, it's like, yep, but all things are going to work together for good.

00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:01.319
 That's true.

00:20:03.139 --> 00:20:05.500
 But we don't always see the good when it comes.

00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:09.680
 Because the good is aligned with God's purpose and we don't always see that in the moment.

00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:12.000
 Well, how did this turn out to be good?

00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:13.339
 What good came from this?

00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:15.319
 We can't see it in that moment.

00:20:15.539 --> 00:20:16.759
 This is a waiting time.

00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:21.720
 But we can trust that while we're groaning, glory is the future.

00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:23.519
 Glory is promised.

00:20:25.139 --> 00:20:26.599
 God is working.

00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.059
 And this has to do with God's sovereignty.

00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:32.019
 God's sovereignty.

00:20:32.399 --> 00:20:32.639
 Hang on.

00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:33.220
 I got ahead of myself.

00:20:33.299 --> 00:20:33.639
 There we go.

00:20:34.399 --> 00:20:35.579
 Down through verse 30.

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.859
 This is talking about how God is in control of all of it.

00:20:39.159 --> 00:20:40.000
 He chose us.

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.880
 He knew his people in advance.

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:43.519
 And he chose us.

00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:44.460
 And he called us.

00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:46.700
 And he says to all that he called.

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:53.680
 He will work all things in our lives together for our good and for his glory.

00:20:53.980 --> 00:20:55.720
 And what does it say in verse 30?

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.380
 Having chose them, he called them to come to him.

00:20:58.539 --> 00:21:02.039
 And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself.

00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:07.799
 That's how we can wake up in the morning and say, I have right standing with God because God told me I did.

00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:12.579
 I'm not out of favor with God because I messed up last night.

00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:13.879
 I'm not favor.

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:16.639
 I'm not out of favor with God because I got drunk.

00:21:16.919 --> 00:21:19.819
 I'm not out of favor with God because I looked at pornography.

00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:23.799
 I'm not out of favor with God because I was angry and yelled at my kids.

00:21:24.159 --> 00:21:27.559
 I'm not out of favor with God because of fill in the blank.

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:31.419
 I have favor with God because he gave that to me.

00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:33.700
 I may have

00:21:33.700 --> 00:21:36.820
 from time to time go off and make a choice

00:21:36.820 --> 00:21:38.940
 that will lead to bad consequences

00:21:38.940 --> 00:21:41.060
 it will be hurtful to myself, to others

00:21:41.060 --> 00:21:42.940
 and I'll have to endure that

00:21:42.940 --> 00:21:44.820
 until I align

00:21:44.820 --> 00:21:46.779
 my will back with God's will

00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:48.920
 but all the way

00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.000
 through, while I'm

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.740
 waiting, while I'm groaning

00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:54.480
 in this world of brokenness

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:56.820
 I have right standing with

00:21:56.820 --> 00:21:58.519
 God, I have his favor

00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:00.000
 because I'm his child

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.960
 and since he gave that

00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:04.599
 to us in verse 30

00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:06.859
 having given them right standing

00:22:06.859 --> 00:22:08.599
 he gave them his

00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:10.500
 what's that last word in verse 30

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:12.680
 what is it?

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:14.460
 his glory

00:22:14.460 --> 00:22:17.400
 he gave them his glory

00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:20.339
 let's put us in there

00:22:20.339 --> 00:22:22.420
 he gave us his glory

00:22:22.420 --> 00:22:24.740
 that is what is promised

00:22:24.740 --> 00:22:27.380
 we sing the battle hymn of the republic

00:22:27.380 --> 00:22:28.380
 not too long ago

00:22:28.380 --> 00:22:29.980
 glory, glory, hallelujah

00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:37.140
 glory, glory, hallelujah

00:22:37.140 --> 00:22:38.480
 praise be to God

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:40.740
 because he gave us as his children

00:22:40.740 --> 00:22:43.460
 not because we're Americans

00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:46.000
 not because we're white or black

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:47.120
 or Hispanic or Asian

00:22:47.120 --> 00:22:48.099
 or we're rich or poor

00:22:48.099 --> 00:22:48.759
 or anything else

00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:50.380
 not because of any social standing

00:22:50.380 --> 00:22:51.579
 on this earth

00:22:51.579 --> 00:22:53.660
 but because

00:22:53.660 --> 00:22:55.799
 he gave us his grace

00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:58.419
 to repent of our sins

00:22:58.419 --> 00:22:59.180
 to turn to him

00:22:59.180 --> 00:22:59.700
 and say God

00:22:59.700 --> 00:23:00.940
 I place my faith in you

00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:01.779
 and you alone

00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:03.899
 so glory is promised

00:23:03.899 --> 00:23:06.099
 and then number two

00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:07.960
 and we only have two points

00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:08.980
 so this is the last point

00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:09.279
 ready?

00:23:11.659 --> 00:23:12.440
 God's love

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:13.500
 never

00:23:13.500 --> 00:23:14.440
 fails

00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:19.460
 while we're waiting

00:23:19.460 --> 00:23:20.900
 God is working

00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:20.900


00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:23.240
 and we can be sure

00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:24.759
 that his work

00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:26.480
 is always

00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:27.440
 motivated

00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:28.759
 and acted out

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:30.400
 through the lens

00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:31.319
 of his love

00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:33.799
 it always reflects

00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.900
 his love for us

00:23:34.900 --> 00:23:35.900
 and his love

00:23:35.900 --> 00:23:36.779
 never

00:23:36.779 --> 00:23:37.740
 fails

00:23:37.740 --> 00:23:39.799
 1 Corinthians chapter 13

00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:40.460
 is called

00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:41.259
 the love chapter

00:23:41.259 --> 00:23:42.399
 and one of the ends

00:23:42.399 --> 00:23:42.759
 of that

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:44.000
 it uses a word

00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:45.359
 that's charity

00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:46.799
 it's a placeholder

00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:47.440
 for love

00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:48.500
 it means the same thing

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:48.879
 and so

00:23:48.879 --> 00:23:50.039
 it says charity

00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:51.460
 never fails

00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:52.139
 love

00:23:52.139 --> 00:23:52.819
 never

00:23:52.819 --> 00:23:53.740
 fails

00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:55.059
 have you noticed

00:23:55.059 --> 00:23:55.859
 that real

00:23:55.859 --> 00:23:56.599
 love

00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:57.220
 never

00:23:57.220 --> 00:23:58.019
 fails

00:23:58.019 --> 00:24:01.559
 there is selfish

00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:02.059
 love

00:24:02.059 --> 00:24:03.139
 there is attraction

00:24:03.139 --> 00:24:04.240
 there is sexual

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:04.720
 love

00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:05.259
 there is

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:06.519
 self-serving

00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:07.000
 love

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:07.940
 there is all kinds

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:09.000
 of love

00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:09.720
 out there

00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:10.660
 but real

00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:11.240
 love

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:12.200
 that comes

00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:13.160
 from the inventor

00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:13.620
 of love

00:24:13.620 --> 00:24:14.120
 the author

00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:14.640
 of love

00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:15.380
 which is God

00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:16.440
 that love

00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:17.339
 never fails

00:24:17.339 --> 00:24:18.120
 it took Jesus

00:24:18.120 --> 00:24:18.839
 to the cross

00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:19.400
 but then what

00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:19.779
 happened

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:21.120
 did he stay

00:24:21.120 --> 00:24:21.440
 dead

00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:21.960
 was that the

00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:22.559
 end of his

00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:22.920
 story

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:24.880
 come on church

00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:25.400
 I'm asking you

00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:25.720
 if Jesus

00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:26.279
 stayed dead

00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:26.839
 there you go

00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:28.000
 y'all know

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:28.380
 the answer

00:24:28.380 --> 00:24:28.799
 to this one

00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:29.500
 this isn't hard

00:24:29.500 --> 00:24:30.660
 no he came

00:24:30.660 --> 00:24:31.660
 back to life

00:24:31.660 --> 00:24:34.100
 it's why we

00:24:34.100 --> 00:24:35.220
 celebrate Easter

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:35.900
 around here

00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:36.539
 in a big way

00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:37.279
 because Jesus

00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:38.640
 is alive

00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:40.980
 love

00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:41.000
 love

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:41.880
 could not

00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:42.500
 fail

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:43.600
 love

00:24:43.600 --> 00:24:44.040
 will not

00:24:44.040 --> 00:24:44.420
 fail

00:24:44.420 --> 00:24:44.940
 you

00:24:44.940 --> 00:24:46.120
 so look

00:24:46.120 --> 00:24:46.600
 down in

00:24:46.600 --> 00:24:47.259
 verse 31

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:47.800
 what shall

00:24:47.800 --> 00:24:48.160
 we say

00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:48.660
 about such

00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:49.000
 wonderful

00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:49.480
 things as

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:49.759
 these

00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:50.520
 if God

00:24:50.520 --> 00:24:50.900
 is for

00:24:50.900 --> 00:24:51.160
 us

00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:51.840
 who can

00:24:51.840 --> 00:24:52.300
 ever

00:24:52.300 --> 00:24:52.820
 be

00:24:52.820 --> 00:24:53.400
 against

00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:53.720
 us

00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:54.200
 God's

00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:54.400
 love

00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:54.560
 will

00:24:54.560 --> 00:24:54.880
 never

00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:55.200
 fail

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:55.420
 you

00:24:55.420 --> 00:24:55.940
 why

00:24:55.940 --> 00:24:56.540
 because

00:24:56.540 --> 00:24:56.900
 he's

00:24:56.900 --> 00:24:57.460
 for

00:24:57.460 --> 00:24:57.940
 you

00:24:57.940 --> 00:24:58.920
 God

00:24:58.920 --> 00:24:59.120
 is

00:24:59.120 --> 00:24:59.460
 for

00:24:59.460 --> 00:24:59.700
 you

00:24:59.700 --> 00:24:59.860
 and

00:24:59.860 --> 00:25:00.020
 you

00:25:00.020 --> 00:25:00.220
 don't

00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:00.440
 have

00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:00.580
 to

00:25:00.580 --> 00:25:00.759
 live

00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:00.900
 in

00:25:00.900 --> 00:25:01.300
 fear

00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:02.720
 since

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:03.240
 he didn't

00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:03.639
 spare

00:25:03.639 --> 00:25:03.899
 even

00:25:03.899 --> 00:25:04.339
 his own

00:25:04.339 --> 00:25:04.619
 son

00:25:04.619 --> 00:25:04.879
 but he

00:25:04.879 --> 00:25:05.279
 gave him

00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:05.539
 up

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:06.019
 for

00:25:06.019 --> 00:25:06.399
 us

00:25:06.399 --> 00:25:06.819
 all

00:25:06.819 --> 00:25:07.599
 he

00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:07.899
 is

00:25:07.899 --> 00:25:08.259
 for

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:08.639
 us

00:25:08.639 --> 00:25:09.119
 and he

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:09.359
 gave

00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:09.599
 his

00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:09.940
 son

00:25:09.940 --> 00:25:10.639
 for

00:25:10.639 --> 00:25:11.200
 us

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:12.539
 and

00:25:12.539 --> 00:25:12.700
 then

00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:12.980
 look

00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:13.419
 this is

00:25:13.419 --> 00:25:13.680
 talking

00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:13.899
 about

00:25:13.899 --> 00:25:14.059
 the

00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:14.619
 atonement

00:25:14.619 --> 00:25:15.500
 the

00:25:15.500 --> 00:25:15.960
 atonement

00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:16.159
 that

00:25:16.159 --> 00:25:16.440
 Jesus

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:16.819
 made

 atoning

00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:18.139

00:25:18.139 --> 00:25:19.019
 where

00:25:19.019 --> 00:25:19.240
 he

00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:19.759
 recognized

00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:20.079
 that

00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:20.299
 we

00:25:20.299 --> 00:25:20.539
 were

00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:21.000
 slaves

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:21.180
 to

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:21.399
 sin

00:25:21.399 --> 00:25:21.619
 we

00:25:21.619 --> 00:25:21.960
 owed

00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:22.180
 a

00:25:22.180 --> 00:25:22.399
 debt

00:25:22.399 --> 00:25:22.639
 of

 sin

00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:23.779
 to

00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:24.539

00:25:24.919 --> 00:25:25.119

00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:25.480
 hell

00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:26.539
 and

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:26.899
 Jesus

00:25:26.899 --> 00:25:27.359
 came

00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:27.819
 and paid

00:25:27.819 --> 00:25:28.119
!

00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:28.460
 debt

00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:28.460


00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:33.960

00:25:34.840 --> 00:25:35.299

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:35.840
 but

00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:35.980
 he

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:36.440
 washed

00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:36.660
 it

00:25:36.660 --> 00:25:37.039
 white

00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:37.220
 as

00:25:37.220 --> 00:25:37.539
 snow

00:25:37.539 --> 00:25:38.200
 it's

00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:38.340
 what

00:25:38.340 --> 00:25:38.660
 Jesus

00:25:38.660 --> 00:25:38.960
 did

00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:39.100
 in

00:25:39.100 --> 00:25:39.279
 the

00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:40.019
 atonement

00:25:40.019 --> 00:25:40.500
 when

00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:40.680
 he

00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:41.240
 atoned

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:41.500
 or

00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:47.360
 Paul

00:25:47.360 --> 00:25:47.620
 wrote

00:25:47.620 --> 00:25:47.920
 this

00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:48.400
 and

00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:48.559
 it

00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:48.960
 has

00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:49.460
 powerful

00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:49.960
 implications

00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:50.259
 for

00:25:50.259 --> 00:25:50.400
 you

00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:50.519
 and

00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:50.660
 me

00:25:50.660 --> 00:25:51.240
 God

00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:51.539
 made

00:25:51.539 --> 00:25:51.900
 Jesus

00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:52.160
 who

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:52.440
 had

00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:52.700
 no

00:25:52.700 --> 00:25:52.980
 sin

00:25:52.980 --> 00:25:53.160
 to

00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:53.380
 be

00:25:53.380 --> 00:25:53.680
 sin

00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:54.680
 for

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:55.100
 us

00:25:55.100 --> 00:25:55.460
 can

00:25:55.460 --> 00:25:55.579
 we

00:25:55.579 --> 00:25:55.759
 say

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:55.960
 that

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:56.220
 God

00:25:56.220 --> 00:25:56.440
 made

00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:56.740
 Jesus

00:25:56.740 --> 00:25:56.940
 who

00:25:56.940 --> 00:25:57.140
 had

00:25:57.140 --> 00:25:57.340
 no

00:25:57.340 --> 00:25:57.600
 sin

00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:59.799
 to

00:25:59.799 --> 00:25:59.959
 be

00:25:58.259 --> 00:25:59.219
 for

00:25:59.219 --> 00:25:59.799
 us

00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:00.279
 so

00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:00.519
 that

00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:00.819
 in

00:26:00.819 --> 00:26:01.240
 Jesus

00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:01.939
 we

00:26:01.939 --> 00:26:02.199
 might

00:26:02.199 --> 00:26:02.639
 become

00:26:02.639 --> 00:26:02.859
 or

00:26:02.859 --> 00:26:03.379
 embody

00:26:03.379 --> 00:26:04.159
 God's

00:26:04.159 --> 00:26:04.759
 righteousness

00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:05.119
 there's

00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:05.539
 no way

00:26:05.539 --> 00:26:05.679
 that

00:26:05.679 --> 00:26:05.839
 you

00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:06.000
 and

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:06.179
 I

00:26:06.179 --> 00:26:06.639
 could

00:26:06.639 --> 00:26:06.980
 be

00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:07.419
 God's

00:26:07.419 --> 00:26:07.839
 righteousness

00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.679
 but

00:26:08.679 --> 00:26:08.899
 through

00:26:08.899 --> 00:26:09.240
 Jesus

00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:09.619
 alone

00:26:09.619 --> 00:26:10.379
 you

00:26:10.379 --> 00:26:10.500
 and

00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:10.599
 I

00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:10.740
 are

00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:11.059
 sinners

00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:12.159
 we're

00:26:12.159 --> 00:26:12.419
 always

00:26:12.419 --> 00:26:12.659
 going

00:26:12.659 --> 00:26:12.799
 to

00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:13.079
 be

00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:13.659
 attracted

00:26:13.659 --> 00:26:13.899
 or

00:26:13.899 --> 00:26:14.339
 drawn

00:26:14.339 --> 00:26:14.699
 toward

00:26:14.699 --> 00:26:14.939
 what

00:26:14.939 --> 00:26:15.119
 is

00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:15.579
 wrong

00:26:15.579 --> 00:26:15.839
 toward

00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:16.019
 what

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:16.199
 is

00:26:16.199 --> 00:26:17.240
 unrighteous

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:18.719
 but

00:26:18.719 --> 00:26:19.019
 since

00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:19.419
 Jesus

00:26:19.419 --> 00:26:20.179
 became

00:26:20.179 --> 00:26:20.899
 our

00:26:20.899 --> 00:26:21.500
 sacrifice

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:22.019
 for

00:26:22.019 --> 00:26:22.579
 us

00:26:22.579 --> 00:26:23.459
 he

00:26:23.459 --> 00:26:23.679
 gave

00:26:23.679 --> 00:26:23.859
 us

00:26:23.859 --> 00:26:24.299
 right

00:26:24.299 --> 00:26:24.740
 standing

00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:24.980
 with

00:26:24.980 --> 00:26:25.259
 God

00:26:25.259 --> 00:26:26.199
 now

00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:26.779
 he

00:26:26.779 --> 00:26:27.000
 can

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.660
 change

00:26:27.660 --> 00:26:28.640
 what

00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:28.840
 we're

00:26:28.840 --> 00:26:29.120
 drawn

00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:29.340
 to

00:26:29.340 --> 00:26:29.779
 he

00:26:29.779 --> 00:26:29.960
 can

00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:30.519
 change

00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:32.200
 what

00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:32.360
 we

00:26:32.360 --> 00:26:32.680
 find

00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:33.039
 ourselves

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:33.259
 getting

00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:33.819
 involved

00:26:33.819 --> 00:26:34.160
 in

00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:34.400
 in

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:34.620
 this

00:26:34.620 --> 00:26:34.960
 world

00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:35.700
 like

00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:36.000
 huh

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:36.580
 me

00:26:36.580 --> 00:26:37.200
 what

00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:37.600
 I

00:26:37.600 --> 00:26:38.140
 volunteered

00:26:38.140 --> 00:26:38.559
 to work

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:38.740
 in the

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:38.980
 nursery

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:39.460
 at church

00:26:39.460 --> 00:26:39.819
 I'm not

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:40.120
 that kind

00:26:40.120 --> 00:26:40.460
 of person

00:26:40.460 --> 00:26:41.559
 I volunteered

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:41.880
 to sing

00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:42.080
 in the

00:26:42.080 --> 00:26:42.299
 choir

00:26:42.299 --> 00:26:42.600
 where did

00:26:42.600 --> 00:26:42.980
 that come

00:26:42.980 --> 00:26:43.259
 from

00:26:43.259 --> 00:26:44.420
 because

00:26:44.420 --> 00:26:44.700
 God

00:26:44.700 --> 00:26:44.880
 can

00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:45.299
 change

00:26:45.299 --> 00:26:45.580
 you

00:26:45.580 --> 00:26:45.940
 we talked

00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:46.240
 about that

00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:46.720
 last Sunday

00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:47.000
 God

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:47.500
 changing

00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:48.080
 your

00:26:48.080 --> 00:26:48.539
 nature

00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:49.519
 that is

00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:49.860
 part of

00:26:49.860 --> 00:26:50.299
 becoming

00:26:50.299 --> 00:26:50.900
 God's

00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:51.460
 righteousness

00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:51.799
 he

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.319
 changes

00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:53.259
 you

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:54.059
 to

00:26:54.059 --> 00:26:54.379
 become

00:26:54.379 --> 00:26:54.579
 what

00:26:54.579 --> 00:26:54.720
 you

00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:54.940
 could

00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:55.180
 be

00:26:55.180 --> 00:26:55.660
 not

00:26:55.660 --> 00:26:55.839
 what

00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:56.019
 you

00:26:56.019 --> 00:26:56.400
 have

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:57.039
 been

00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:57.319
 and

00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:57.480
 then

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:57.799
 in

00:26:57.799 --> 00:26:58.379
 Psalm

00:26:58.379 --> 00:26:58.859
 56

00:26:58.859 --> 00:26:59.200
 in

00:26:59.200 --> 00:26:59.400
 verse

00:26:59.400 --> 00:26:59.640
 9

00:26:59.640 --> 00:26:59.819
 the

00:26:59.819 --> 00:27:00.140
 psalmist

00:27:00.140 --> 00:27:00.319
 knew

00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:00.519
 this

00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:00.819
 David

00:27:00.819 --> 00:27:01.440
 knew

00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:01.660
 this

00:27:01.660 --> 00:27:01.960
 when he

00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:02.160
 wrote

00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:02.400
 this

00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:03.140
 so many

00:27:03.140 --> 00:27:03.400
 years

00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:03.640
 ago

00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:03.799
 he

00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:04.019
 said

00:27:04.019 --> 00:27:04.319
 this

00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:04.559
 I

00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:04.960
 know

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:06.160
 I

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:06.299
 don't

00:27:06.299 --> 00:27:06.480
 know

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:06.879
 everything

00:27:06.879 --> 00:27:07.779
 there

00:27:07.779 --> 00:27:07.920
 are

00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:08.140
 things

00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:08.319
 I

00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:08.579
 doubt

00:27:08.579 --> 00:27:08.759
 there

00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:08.900
 are

00:27:08.900 --> 00:27:09.099
 things

00:27:09.099 --> 00:27:09.299
 I

00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:09.539
 fear

00:27:09.539 --> 00:27:09.740
 but

00:27:09.740 --> 00:27:09.879
 he

00:27:09.879 --> 00:27:10.099
 said

00:27:10.099 --> 00:27:10.460
 this

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:10.720
 I

00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:11.039
 know

00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:11.259
 that

00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:11.640
 God

00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:12.019
 is

00:27:12.019 --> 00:27:12.379
 what

00:27:12.379 --> 00:27:14.299
 this

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:14.519
 I

00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:14.779
 know

00:27:14.779 --> 00:27:14.960
 that

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:15.220
 God

00:27:15.220 --> 00:27:15.400
 is

00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:15.759
 what

00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:15.779
!

00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:23.579
 does

00:27:23.579 --> 00:27:23.700
 it

00:27:23.700 --> 00:27:23.879
 really

00:27:23.879 --> 00:27:24.319
 matter

00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:24.799
 who

00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:24.900
 is

00:27:24.900 --> 00:27:25.160
 against

00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:25.420
 you

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:28.279
 I

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:28.559
 feel

00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:28.759
 like

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:28.960
 this

00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:29.180
 world

00:27:29.180 --> 00:27:29.279
 is

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:29.519

00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:29.799
 I

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:29.980
 feel

00:27:29.980 --> 00:27:30.160
 like

 culture

00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:30.680
 is

 scripture

00:29:11.819 --> 00:29:12.220
 says

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:12.339
 in

 the

 sake

00:29:14.339 --> 00:29:14.599
 for

00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:15.000
 God's

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:15.159
 sake

00:29:15.159 --> 00:29:15.339
 we're

00:29:15.339 --> 00:29:15.559
 being

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:15.879
 killed

00:29:15.879 --> 00:29:16.159
 every

00:29:16.159 --> 00:29:16.379
 day

00:29:16.379 --> 00:29:16.539
 we're

00:29:16.539 --> 00:29:16.700
 being

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:17.200
 slaughtered

00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:17.359
 like

00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:17.619
 sheep

00:29:17.619 --> 00:29:17.919
 you

00:29:17.919 --> 00:29:18.099
 think

00:29:18.099 --> 00:29:18.240
 you're

00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:18.359
 the

00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:18.639
 first

00:29:18.639 --> 00:29:19.099
 Christians

00:29:19.099 --> 00:29:19.339
 to

00:29:19.339 --> 00:29:19.700
 suffer

00:29:19.700 --> 00:29:19.859
 in

00:29:19.859 --> 00:29:19.960
 the

00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:20.099
 name

00:29:20.099 --> 00:29:20.240
 of

00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:20.460
 God

00:29:20.460 --> 00:29:21.319
 you

00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:21.500
 think

00:29:21.500 --> 00:29:21.619
 you're

00:29:21.619 --> 00:29:21.759
 the

00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:22.460
 Christians

00:29:22.460 --> 00:29:22.639
 to

 go

00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:22.980
 through

00:29:22.980 --> 00:29:23.139
 a

00:29:23.139 --> 00:29:23.419
 hard

00:29:23.419 --> 00:29:23.759
 time

00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:23.919
 of

00:29:23.919 --> 00:29:24.059
 course

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:24.359
 not

 verse

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:27.980
 37

00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:28.359
 despite

00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:28.659
 all

00:29:28.659 --> 00:29:28.879
 these

00:29:28.879 --> 00:29:29.279
 things

00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:30.639
 overwhelming

00:29:30.639 --> 00:29:31.480
 victory

00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:32.019
 is

00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:38.079
 fail

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:38.359
 you

00:29:40.859 --> 00:29:41.960
 love

00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:42.379

 brings

00:29:42.879 --> 00:29:43.839
 overwhelming

00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:44.639
 victory

00:29:44.639 --> 00:29:45.960
 and this

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:46.639
 also says

00:29:46.639 --> 00:29:47.259
 that hard

00:29:47.259 --> 00:29:47.899
 times are

00:29:47.899 --> 00:29:48.379
 not a

00:29:48.379 --> 00:29:48.700
 sign

00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:49.339
 that God

00:29:49.339 --> 00:29:49.579
 has

00:29:49.579 --> 00:29:50.079
 abandoned

 you

00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:51.679
 hard

00:29:51.679 --> 00:29:52.079
 times

00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:52.460
 are not

00:29:52.460 --> 00:29:52.919
 a sign

00:29:52.919 --> 00:29:53.460
 that God

00:29:53.460 --> 00:29:53.779
 has

00:29:53.779 --> 00:29:56.139
 is

00:29:56.139 --> 00:29:56.539
 throwing

00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:56.919

00:29:58.179 --> 00:29:58.599
 for all

00:29:58.599 --> 00:29:59.000
 the wrong

00:29:59.000 --> 00:29:59.259
 you've

00:29:59.259 --> 00:29:59.519
 done

00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:01.839
 that is

00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:02.200
 not who

00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:02.700
 he is

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:05.059
 he closed

00:30:05.059 --> 00:30:05.439
 the book

00:30:05.439 --> 00:30:06.240
 he wiped

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:06.659
 out your

00:30:06.659 --> 00:30:07.159
 record of

00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:07.400
 wrong

00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:09.259
 he washed

00:30:09.259 --> 00:30:09.560
 it in

00:30:09.560 --> 00:30:09.720
 his

00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:09.960
 blood

00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:10.240
 and he

00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:10.460
 gave

00:30:10.820 --> 00:30:11.200
 standing

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.420
 with

00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:11.600
 him

00:30:11.600 --> 00:30:11.860
 first

00:30:11.860 --> 00:30:12.080
 Peter

00:30:12.080 --> 00:30:12.300
 4

00:30:12.300 --> 00:30:12.720
 13

00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:13.620
 rejoice

00:30:13.620 --> 00:30:14.440
 in the

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:14.840
 degree

00:30:14.840 --> 00:30:15.340
 that you

00:30:15.340 --> 00:30:15.560
 can

00:30:15.560 --> 00:30:16.240
 share

00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:16.980
 in the

00:30:16.980 --> 00:30:17.519
 sufferings

00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:17.680
 of

00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:18.060
 Christ

00:30:18.060 --> 00:30:18.720
 so that

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:19.120
 when his

00:30:19.120 --> 00:30:19.680
 glory

00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:20.420
 is revealed

00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:20.840
 in you

00:30:20.840 --> 00:30:21.420
 you may

00:30:21.420 --> 00:30:22.279
 also rejoice

00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:22.720
 and be

00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:23.040
 glad

00:30:23.040 --> 00:30:23.900
 instead of

00:30:23.900 --> 00:30:24.180
 saying

00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:24.740
 man I

00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:25.140
 guess I

00:30:25.140 --> 00:30:25.340
 just

00:30:25.340 --> 00:30:25.600
 haven't

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:25.759
 been

00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:26.120
 perfect

00:30:26.120 --> 00:30:26.560
 so God

00:30:26.560 --> 00:30:26.680
 is

00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:27.080
 getting

00:30:27.080 --> 00:30:27.259
 me

00:30:27.259 --> 00:30:27.400
 with

00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:27.560
 all

00:30:27.560 --> 00:30:27.779
 this

00:30:27.779 --> 00:30:28.440
 trouble

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:28.660
 that is

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:28.820
 going

00:30:28.820 --> 00:30:29.000
 on

00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:29.080
 in

00:30:29.080 --> 00:30:29.220
 my

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:29.540
 life

00:30:29.540 --> 00:30:31.060
 John

00:30:31.060 --> 00:30:31.460
 was

00:30:31.460 --> 00:30:31.620
 just

00:30:31.620 --> 00:30:31.820
 coming

00:30:31.820 --> 00:30:32.060
 back

00:30:32.060 --> 00:30:32.180
 from

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:32.600
 vacation

00:30:32.600 --> 00:30:33.120
 and he

00:30:33.120 --> 00:30:33.480
 can tell

00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:33.620
 you

00:30:33.620 --> 00:30:34.000
 himself

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:34.220
 about

00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:34.620
 everything

00:30:34.620 --> 00:30:34.980
 that they

00:30:34.980 --> 00:30:35.220
 went

00:30:35.220 --> 00:30:35.480
 through

00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:35.860
 on their

00:30:35.860 --> 00:30:36.220
 return

00:30:36.220 --> 00:30:36.480
 trip

00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:36.779
 home

00:30:36.779 --> 00:30:36.960
 with

00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:37.120
 their

00:30:37.120 --> 00:30:37.420
 truck

00:30:37.420 --> 00:30:37.880
 and trailer

00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:38.380
 and just

00:30:38.380 --> 00:30:38.920
 the

00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:39.539
 insanity

00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:41.240
 now God

00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:41.799
 showed up

00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:42.039
 and he

00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:42.380
 kept it

00:30:42.380 --> 00:30:42.740
 from being

00:30:42.740 --> 00:30:43.279
 too bad

00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:43.539
 that they

00:30:43.539 --> 00:30:43.799
 couldn't

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:44.099
 recover

00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:44.480
 from it

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:44.740
 right

00:30:44.740 --> 00:30:46.079
 but look

00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:46.480
 he didn't

00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:46.880
 come in

00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:47.160
 saying

00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:47.620
 man I

00:30:47.620 --> 00:30:48.019
 guess I

00:30:48.019 --> 00:30:48.240
 just

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:48.579
 wasn't

00:30:48.579 --> 00:30:48.940
 faithful

00:30:48.940 --> 00:30:49.259
 enough

00:30:49.259 --> 00:30:49.420
 in

00:30:49.420 --> 00:30:49.720
 prayer

00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:50.200
 so God

00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:50.360
 was

00:30:50.360 --> 00:30:50.599
 getting

00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:50.860
 me

00:30:50.860 --> 00:30:52.160
 no

00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:53.860
 I'm

00:30:53.860 --> 00:30:54.360
 glad

00:30:54.360 --> 00:30:55.099
 that he

00:30:55.099 --> 00:30:55.339
 could

00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:55.620
 share

00:30:55.620 --> 00:30:55.960
 I'm

00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:56.220
 glad

00:30:56.220 --> 00:30:56.620
 that you

00:30:56.620 --> 00:30:56.819
 can

00:30:56.819 --> 00:30:57.140
 share

00:30:57.140 --> 00:30:57.440
 I'm

00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:57.640
 glad

00:30:57.640 --> 00:30:58.079
 that I

00:30:58.079 --> 00:30:58.259
 can

00:30:58.259 --> 00:30:58.640
 share

00:30:58.640 --> 00:30:59.079
 in the

00:30:59.079 --> 00:30:59.500
 sufferings

00:30:59.500 --> 00:30:59.640
 of

00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:00.000
 Christ

00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:00.540
 none

00:31:00.540 --> 00:31:00.660
 of

00:31:00.660 --> 00:31:00.820
 us

00:31:00.820 --> 00:31:00.980
 will

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:01.220
 ever

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:01.680
 suffer

00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:02.180
 to

00:31:02.180 --> 00:31:02.340
 the

00:31:02.340 --> 00:31:02.640
 degree

00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:02.860
 that

00:31:02.860 --> 00:31:03.220
 Jesus

00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:03.740
 did

00:31:03.740 --> 00:31:04.520
 when

00:31:04.520 --> 00:31:04.660

 him

00:31:08.180 --> 00:31:08.640
 and

00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:08.800
 he

00:31:08.800 --> 00:31:09.540
 sacrificed

00:31:09.540 --> 00:31:09.840
 his

00:31:09.840 --> 00:31:10.100
 very

00:31:10.100 --> 00:31:10.460

00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:12.140
 earth

00:31:12.140 --> 00:31:12.560
 on

 best

00:31:34.740 --> 00:31:35.439
 from

00:31:39.299 --> 00:31:39.699
 waiting

00:31:39.699 --> 00:31:41.240
 then

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:41.379
 you

00:31:41.379 --> 00:31:41.559
 can

00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:41.919
 endure

00:31:41.919 --> 00:31:42.240
 this

00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:42.619
 groaning

00:31:42.619 --> 00:31:44.959
 because

00:31:44.959 --> 00:31:45.139
 the

00:31:45.139 --> 00:31:45.419
 glory

 is

00:31:45.859 --> 00:31:46.159
 coming

00:31:46.159 --> 00:31:48.419
 nothing

00:31:48.419 --> 00:31:49.000
 can

00:31:51.859 --> 00:31:52.240
 at the

00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:52.439
 last

00:31:52.439 --> 00:31:52.619
 two

00:31:52.619 --> 00:31:52.879
 verses

00:31:52.879 --> 00:31:53.159
 here

00:31:53.159 --> 00:31:54.559
 I

00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:54.740
 am

00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:55.240
 convinced

00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:56.339
 that

00:31:56.339 --> 00:31:56.859
 nothing

00:31:56.859 --> 00:31:57.799
 can

00:32:00.919 --> 00:32:01.039
 do

00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:01.199
 with

 God's

00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:01.839

00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:03.799
 look

00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:04.339

00:32:04.339 --> 00:32:04.479
 through

00:32:04.479 --> 00:32:04.639
 the

00:32:04.639 --> 00:32:05.019
 atonement

00:32:05.019 --> 00:32:05.399

00:32:05.399 --> 00:32:05.599
 about

00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:05.939
 Christ

00:32:05.939 --> 00:32:06.479
 interceding

00:32:06.479 --> 00:32:06.859
 and praying

00:32:06.859 --> 00:32:07.319
 for us

00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:07.799
 talked

00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:07.979
 about

00:32:07.979 --> 00:32:08.119
 how

00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:08.519
 Christ

00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:08.719
 is

00:32:08.719 --> 00:32:09.019
 enough

00:32:09.019 --> 00:32:09.419
 through

00:32:09.419 --> 00:32:09.919
 the

00:32:09.919 --> 00:32:10.379
 problems

00:32:10.379 --> 00:32:10.659
 through

00:32:10.659 --> 00:32:10.879
 the

00:32:10.879 --> 00:32:11.259
 suffering

00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:11.439
 that

00:32:11.439 --> 00:32:11.559
 we

00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:11.740
 have

00:32:11.740 --> 00:32:11.879
 to

00:32:11.879 --> 00:32:12.219
 endure

00:32:12.219 --> 00:32:12.659
 and

00:32:12.659 --> 00:32:12.759
 then

00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:12.879
 we

00:32:12.879 --> 00:32:13.019
 get

00:32:40.560 --> 00:32:41.019
 Christ

00:32:41.019 --> 00:32:41.600
 Jesus

00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:42.259
 our

00:32:42.259 --> 00:32:42.900
 Lord

00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:44.240
 this

00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:44.380
 is

00:32:44.380 --> 00:32:44.560
 the

00:32:44.560 --> 00:32:45.300
 unbreakable

00:32:45.300 --> 00:32:45.680
 covenant

00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:46.539
 of

00:32:46.539 --> 00:32:46.900
 God's

00:32:46.900 --> 00:32:47.160
 love

00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:48.680
 your

00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:48.960
 love

00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:49.140
 is

00:32:49.140 --> 00:32:49.580
 flawed

00:32:49.580 --> 00:32:51.420
 my

00:32:51.420 --> 00:32:51.740
 love

00:32:51.740 --> 00:32:51.900
 is

00:32:51.900 --> 00:32:52.400
 imperfect

00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.220
 I

00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:54.500
 love

00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:54.720
 you

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:55.640
 but

 my

00:32:55.840 --> 00:32:56.060
 love

00:32:56.060 --> 00:32:56.300
 might

00:32:56.300 --> 00:32:56.540
 fail

00:32:56.540 --> 00:32:56.740
 you

00:32:56.740 --> 00:32:58.100
 I

00:32:58.100 --> 00:32:58.519
 believe

00:32:58.519 --> 00:32:58.900
 looking

00:32:58.900 --> 00:32:59.259
 across

00:32:59.259 --> 00:32:59.519
 here

00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:00.259
 most

00:33:00.259 --> 00:33:00.480
 of

00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:00.600
 you

 love

00:33:00.840 --> 00:33:01.160

00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:03.200
 some

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:03.340
 of

00:33:03.340 --> 00:33:03.400
 you

00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:03.519
 I'm

00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:03.660
 not

00:33:03.660 --> 00:33:03.800
 sure

00:33:03.800 --> 00:33:04.019
 I'm

00:33:04.019 --> 00:33:04.259
 kidding

00:33:04.259 --> 00:33:06.100
 but

00:33:06.100 --> 00:33:06.400
 your

00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:06.720
 love

00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:07.000
 might

00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:07.300
 fail

00:33:07.300 --> 00:33:07.480
 me

00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:07.640
 at

00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:07.880
 some

00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:08.200
 point

00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:09.400
 but

00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:09.860
 nothing

00:33:09.860 --> 00:33:10.279
 can

00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:10.620
 ever

00:33:10.620 --> 00:33:11.140
 separate

00:33:11.140 --> 00:33:11.680
 you

00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:12.220
 from

00:33:12.220 --> 00:33:12.620
 God's

00:33:12.620 --> 00:33:12.820
 love

00:33:12.820 --> 00:33:12.980
 and

00:33:12.980 --> 00:33:13.300
 nothing

00:33:13.300 --> 00:33:13.580
 can

 God's

00:33:15.860 --> 00:33:16.080
 love

00:33:16.080 --> 00:33:16.300
 that

00:33:16.300 --> 00:33:16.480
 is

00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:16.700
 the

00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:17.039
 covenant

00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:17.600
 that

00:33:17.600 --> 00:33:17.759
 we

00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:17.920
 can

00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:18.299
 rest

00:33:18.299 --> 00:33:18.539
 in

00:33:18.539 --> 00:33:19.460
 we

00:33:19.460 --> 00:33:19.580
 can

00:33:19.580 --> 00:33:19.700
 go

 sleep

00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:20.319
 at

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:20.500
 night

00:33:20.500 --> 00:33:20.900
 knowing

00:33:20.900 --> 00:33:21.700
 God

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:21.920
 made

00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:22.080

 with

00:33:22.600 --> 00:33:22.819
 me

00:33:22.819 --> 00:33:23.120
 because

00:33:23.120 --> 00:33:23.299
 of

00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:23.460
 his

 my

00:33:25.580 --> 00:33:25.840
 faith

00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:26.440
 him

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:27.120
 then

 I'm

00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:27.700

 myself

00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:29.819
 I'm

 am

00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:48.660
 safe

00:33:48.660 --> 00:33:50.059
 there's

00:33:50.059 --> 00:33:50.440
 glory

00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:50.840
 coming

00:33:50.840 --> 00:33:52.480
 so

00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:54.400
 we've

00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:54.580
 gone

00:33:54.580 --> 00:33:54.819
 through

00:33:54.819 --> 00:33:55.120
 Romans

00:33:55.120 --> 00:33:55.420
 chapter

 8

00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:56.620
 verses

00:33:56.620 --> 00:33:56.960
 1

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:57.120
 through

00:33:57.120 --> 00:33:57.559
 39

00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:58.740
 between

00:33:58.740 --> 00:33:59.180
 last

00:33:59.180 --> 00:33:59.420
 week

00:33:59.420 --> 00:33:59.559
 and

00:33:59.559 --> 00:33:59.740
 this

00:33:59.740 --> 00:34:00.019
 week

00:34:00.019 --> 00:34:01.000
 and

00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:01.140
 we

00:34:01.140 --> 00:34:01.559
 saw

00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:04.840
 well

00:34:04.840 --> 00:34:05.360
 I can't

00:34:05.360 --> 00:34:05.700
 skip over

00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:06.140
 this verse

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:06.440
 alright

00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:07.120
 real quick

00:34:07.120 --> 00:34:08.440
 if we

00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:08.599
 are

00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:09.300
 unfaithful

00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:09.519
 he

00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:09.920
 remains

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:10.340
 faithful

00:34:10.340 --> 00:34:10.559
 for

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:10.720
 he

00:34:10.720 --> 00:34:11.000
 cannot

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:11.460
 deny

00:34:11.460 --> 00:34:11.699
 who

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:11.880
 he

00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:12.179
 is

00:34:12.179 --> 00:34:13.019
 this

00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:13.159
 is

00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:13.320
 a

00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:13.639
 point

00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:14.119
 that

00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:14.559
 directly

00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:14.980
 applies

00:34:14.980 --> 00:34:15.119
 to

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:15.220
 what

00:34:15.220 --> 00:34:15.320
 we

00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:15.400
 were

00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:15.559
 just

00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:15.780
 talking

00:34:15.780 --> 00:34:15.960
 about

00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:16.119
 so

00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:16.360
 before

00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:16.539
 we

00:34:16.699 --> 00:34:16.899
 recap

00:34:16.899 --> 00:34:17.139
 the

00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:17.480
 chapter

00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:17.639
 and

00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:17.739
 we

00:34:17.739 --> 00:34:18.039
 close

00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:19.259
 I

00:34:19.259 --> 00:34:19.379
 want

00:34:19.379 --> 00:34:19.460
 to

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:19.599
 draw

00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:19.739
 your

00:34:19.739 --> 00:34:20.000
 attention

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:20.159
 to

00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:20.399
 this

00:34:20.399 --> 00:34:21.799
 how

 God

00:34:25.099 --> 00:34:25.439
 through

 whole

00:34:25.799 --> 00:34:26.059
 life

00:34:26.059 --> 00:34:26.199
 and

00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:26.379
 you've

00:34:26.379 --> 00:34:26.559
 never

00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:26.759
 been

00:34:26.759 --> 00:34:27.259
 unfaithful

00:34:27.259 --> 00:34:27.419
 to

00:34:27.419 --> 00:34:27.619
 him

00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:29.099
 was

00:34:29.099 --> 00:34:29.480
 really

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:29.779
 hoping

00:34:29.779 --> 00:34:30.059
 nobody

00:34:30.059 --> 00:34:30.219
 would

00:34:30.219 --> 00:34:30.399
 raise

00:34:30.399 --> 00:34:30.519
 their

00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:30.679
 hand

00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:30.839
 so

00:34:30.839 --> 00:34:31.079
 good

00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:31.379
 job

00:34:31.379 --> 00:34:31.699
 good

00:34:31.699 --> 00:34:32.000
 job

00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:33.099
 so

00:34:33.099 --> 00:34:33.239
 I'm

00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:33.379
 not

00:34:33.379 --> 00:34:33.480
 going

00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:33.539
 to

00:34:33.539 --> 00:34:33.699
 make

00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:33.799
 you

00:34:33.799 --> 00:34:34.759
 raise

00:34:34.759 --> 00:34:34.919
 your

00:34:34.919 --> 00:34:35.139
 hand

00:34:35.139 --> 00:34:35.279
 to

00:34:35.279 --> 00:34:35.559
 highlight

00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:35.799
 your

00:34:35.799 --> 00:34:36.359
 unfaithfulness

00:34:36.359 --> 00:34:36.599
 to

00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:36.779
 God

00:34:36.779 --> 00:34:36.960
 but

00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:37.119
 you

00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:37.359
 all

00:34:37.359 --> 00:34:37.939
 recognize

00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:46.819
 even

00:34:46.819 --> 00:34:47.000
 when

00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:47.119
 you

00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:47.259
 were

00:34:47.259 --> 00:34:47.659
 unfaithful

00:34:47.659 --> 00:34:47.779
 to

00:34:47.779 --> 00:34:47.980
 him

00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:48.919
 I

00:34:48.919 --> 00:34:49.039
 got

00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:49.239
 both

00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:49.439
 hands

00:34:49.439 --> 00:34:49.619
 up

00:34:49.619 --> 00:34:49.859
 yeah

00:34:49.859 --> 00:34:51.539
 if

00:34:51.539 --> 00:34:51.779
 we

00:34:51.779 --> 00:34:51.980
 are

00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:52.539
 unfaithful

00:34:52.539 --> 00:34:52.719
 look

00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:53.119
 that's

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:53.279
 in

00:34:53.279 --> 00:34:53.399
 the

00:34:53.399 --> 00:34:53.719
 Bible

00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:54.539
 Paul

00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:54.719
 was

00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:54.919
 writing

00:34:54.919 --> 00:34:55.059
 to

00:34:55.059 --> 00:34:55.319
 Timothy

00:34:55.319 --> 00:34:55.500
 and

00:34:55.500 --> 00:34:55.639
 he

00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:55.879
 said

00:34:55.879 --> 00:34:56.559
 I

00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:56.699
 have

00:34:56.699 --> 00:34:57.039
 learned

00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:57.460
 this

00:34:57.460 --> 00:34:57.839
 even

00:34:57.839 --> 00:34:58.099
 when

00:34:58.099 --> 00:34:58.399
 I

00:34:58.399 --> 00:34:58.599
 am

00:34:58.599 --> 00:34:59.199
 unfaithful

00:34:59.199 --> 00:34:59.319
 to

00:34:59.319 --> 00:34:59.539
 God

00:34:59.539 --> 00:35:00.019
 he

00:35:00.019 --> 00:35:00.639
 remains

00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:01.059
 faithful

00:35:01.059 --> 00:35:01.379
 because

00:35:01.379 --> 00:35:01.599
 he

00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:01.939
 cannot

00:35:01.939 --> 00:35:02.299
 die

00:35:02.299 --> 00:35:02.679
 who

00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:02.919
 he

00:35:02.919 --> 00:35:03.159
 is

00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:03.879
 deny

00:35:03.879 --> 00:35:04.159
 who

00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:04.359
 he

00:35:04.359 --> 00:35:04.559
 is

00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:04.879
 why

00:35:04.879 --> 00:35:05.379
 because

00:35:05.379 --> 00:35:05.639
 we're

00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:05.859
 in

00:35:05.859 --> 00:35:06.079
 that

00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:06.419
 covenant

00:35:06.419 --> 00:35:06.899
 we

00:35:06.899 --> 00:35:07.079
 are

00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:07.439
 in

00:35:07.439 --> 00:35:07.859
 him

00:35:07.859 --> 00:35:08.079
 we

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:08.219
 are

00:35:08.219 --> 00:35:08.480
 in

00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:08.799
 Christ

00:35:08.799 --> 00:35:08.980
 so

00:35:08.980 --> 00:35:38.960
 we

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:39.099
 can

00:35:39.099 --> 00:35:39.639
 separate

00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:40.139
 us

00:35:40.139 --> 00:35:40.740
 from

00:35:40.740 --> 00:35:41.340
 God's

00:35:41.340 --> 00:35:41.920
 love

00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:43.760
 this

00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:43.920
 is

00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:44.240
 why

00:35:44.240 --> 00:35:44.460
 this

00:35:44.460 --> 00:35:44.559
 is

00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:44.659
 one

00:35:44.659 --> 00:35:44.740
 of

00:35:44.740 --> 00:35:44.920
 the

00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:45.599
 most

00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:46.079
 important

00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:46.579
 chapters

00:35:46.579 --> 00:35:46.820
 that

00:35:46.820 --> 00:35:47.059
 Paul

00:35:47.059 --> 00:35:47.380
 ever

00:35:47.380 --> 00:35:47.780
 wrote

00:35:47.780 --> 00:35:47.980
 in

00:35:47.980 --> 00:35:48.240
 any

00:35:48.240 --> 00:35:48.380
 of

00:35:48.380 --> 00:35:48.559
 his

00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:48.860
 letters

00:35:48.860 --> 00:35:49.059
 to

00:35:49.059 --> 00:35:49.179
 the

00:35:49.179 --> 00:35:49.400
 early

00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:49.820
 churches

00:35:49.820 --> 00:35:51.559
 because

00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:51.880
 this

00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:52.400
 tells

00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:52.659
 us

00:35:52.659 --> 00:35:52.840
 our

00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:53.360
 standing

00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:53.720
 in

00:35:53.720 --> 00:35:54.019
 God

00:35:54.019 --> 00:35:54.280
 it

00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:54.539
 gives

00:35:54.539 --> 00:35:54.699
 us

00:35:54.699 --> 00:35:54.860
 our

00:35:54.860 --> 00:35:55.380
 identity

00:35:55.380 --> 00:35:56.280
 we

00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:56.539
 are

00:35:56.539 --> 00:35:56.960
 God's

00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:57.340
 family

00:35:57.340 --> 00:35:59.900
 it

00:35:59.900 --> 00:36:00.139
 gives

00:36:00.139 --> 00:36:00.300
 us

00:36:00.300 --> 00:36:00.460
 our

00:36:00.460 --> 00:36:01.079
 purpose

00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:01.599
 an

00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:02.280
 explanation

00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:02.619
 for

00:36:02.619 --> 00:36:02.840
 this

00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:03.159
 life

00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:03.699
 nothing

00:36:03.699 --> 00:36:04.900
 God

00:36:04.900 --> 00:36:05.079
 is

00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:05.579
 working

00:36:05.579 --> 00:36:06.159
 nothing

00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:06.440
 is

00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:06.980
 meaningless

00:36:06.980 --> 00:36:08.579
 nothing

00:36:08.579 --> 00:36:08.940
 is a

00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:09.199
 waste

00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:09.380
 of

00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:09.659
 time

00:36:09.659 --> 00:36:09.980
 God

00:36:09.980 --> 00:36:10.159
 is

00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:10.519
 working

00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:10.960
 even

00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:11.239
 in

00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:11.380
 the

00:36:11.380 --> 00:36:11.699
 meantime

00:36:11.699 --> 00:36:12.099
 while

00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:12.279
 we're

00:36:12.279 --> 00:36:12.619
 waiting

00:36:12.619 --> 00:36:13.299
 and

00:36:13.299 --> 00:36:13.460
 then

00:36:13.460 --> 00:36:13.900
 finally

00:36:13.900 --> 00:36:16.099
 it

00:36:16.099 --> 00:36:16.299
 gives

00:36:16.299 --> 00:36:16.400
 you

00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:16.519
 an

00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:16.759
 answer

00:36:16.759 --> 00:36:17.000
 for

00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:17.139
 all

00:36:17.139 --> 00:36:17.259
 the

 fears

00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:18.099
 that

00:36:18.099 --> 00:36:18.559
 pop

00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:18.699
 into

00:36:18.699 --> 00:36:18.860
 your

 head

00:36:19.059 --> 00:36:21.239
 all

00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:21.380
 the

 threaten

 to

 undermine

 nothing

00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:35.679
 we

00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:35.820
 can

00:37:35.820 --> 00:37:36.320
 celebrate

00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:36.840
 Christian

00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:37.679
 patriotism

00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:38.820
 but not

00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:39.259
 Christian

00:37:39.259 --> 00:37:40.119
 nationalism

00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:40.920
 there's a

00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:41.239
 difference

00:37:41.239 --> 00:37:41.519
 there

00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:42.519
 Charles

00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:42.840
 de Gaulle

00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:43.179
 one of the

00:37:43.179 --> 00:37:43.460
 greatest

00:37:43.460 --> 00:37:44.159
 French

00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:44.759
 heroes

00:37:44.759 --> 00:37:45.199
 that ever

00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:45.960
 lived

00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:46.559
 put it

00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:46.940
 this way

00:37:46.940 --> 00:37:47.699
 patriotism

00:37:47.699 --> 00:37:48.300
 is when

00:37:48.300 --> 00:37:48.699
 love of

00:37:48.699 --> 00:37:49.059
 your own

00:37:49.059 --> 00:37:49.400
 people

00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:49.960
 comes

00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:50.480
 first

00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:51.259
 it's

00:37:51.259 --> 00:37:51.539
 not a

00:37:51.539 --> 00:37:51.659
 thing

00:37:51.659 --> 00:37:51.940
 wrong

00:37:51.940 --> 00:37:52.139
 with

00:37:52.139 --> 00:37:52.420
 that

00:37:52.420 --> 00:37:54.179
 nationalism

00:37:54.179 --> 00:37:55.199
 is when

00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:55.579
 hate

00:37:55.579 --> 00:37:56.400
 for people

00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:56.920
 other than

00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:57.340
 your own

00:37:57.340 --> 00:37:58.239
 comes

00:37:58.239 --> 00:37:58.879
 first

00:37:58.879 --> 00:38:03.739
 there's a

00:38:03.739 --> 00:38:04.059
 difference

00:38:04.059 --> 00:38:04.359
 there

00:38:04.359 --> 00:38:07.799
 patriotism

00:38:07.799 --> 00:38:08.419
 is affection

00:38:08.419 --> 00:38:09.619
 and love

00:38:09.619 --> 00:38:10.179
 and devotion

00:38:10.179 --> 00:38:11.419
 for the

00:38:11.419 --> 00:38:11.699
 nation

00:38:11.699 --> 00:38:12.019
 of your

00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:12.319
 birth

00:38:12.319 --> 00:38:13.759
 it's

00:38:13.759 --> 00:38:14.039
 praying

00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:14.459
 for it

00:38:14.459 --> 00:38:14.859
 it's

00:38:14.859 --> 00:38:15.159
 working

00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:15.619
 to make

00:38:15.619 --> 00:38:15.799
 it

00:38:15.799 --> 00:38:16.159
 the

00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:16.419
 best

00:38:16.419 --> 00:38:16.899
 possible

00:38:16.899 --> 00:38:17.339
 nation

00:38:17.339 --> 00:38:17.539
 and

00:38:17.539 --> 00:38:17.799
 people

00:38:17.799 --> 00:38:18.000
 that

00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:18.119
 it

00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:18.239
 could

00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:18.479
 be

00:38:18.479 --> 00:38:20.139
 nationalism

00:38:20.139 --> 00:38:20.879
 is when

00:38:20.879 --> 00:38:22.439
 you

00:38:22.439 --> 00:38:22.739
 sense

00:38:22.739 --> 00:38:23.299
 superiority

00:38:23.299 --> 00:38:24.359
 to all

00:38:24.359 --> 00:38:24.599
 other

00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:25.259
 nations

00:38:25.259 --> 00:38:26.299
 and you

00:38:26.299 --> 00:38:26.759
 naturally

00:38:26.759 --> 00:38:27.399
 have

00:38:27.399 --> 00:38:28.059
 resistance

00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:29.079
 or think

00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:29.619
 less of

00:38:29.619 --> 00:38:29.960
 or even

00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:30.320
 hatred

00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:30.719
 toward

00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:31.539
 those

00:38:31.539 --> 00:38:31.679
 who

00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:31.779
 are

00:38:31.779 --> 00:38:32.039
 not

00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:32.279
 of

00:38:32.279 --> 00:38:32.460
 your

00:38:32.460 --> 00:38:32.900
 nation

00:38:32.900 --> 00:38:35.119
 may

00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:35.460
 God

00:38:35.460 --> 00:38:35.940
 give us

00:38:35.940 --> 00:38:36.400
 Christian

00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:37.099
 patriots

00:38:37.099 --> 00:38:38.320
 not

00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:38.799
 Christian

00:38:38.799 --> 00:38:39.679
 nationalists

00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:41.539
 that's

00:38:41.539 --> 00:38:41.679
 the

00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:42.099
 difference

00:38:42.099 --> 00:38:43.500
 for the

00:38:43.500 --> 00:38:43.779
 child

00:38:43.779 --> 00:38:44.239
 of God

00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:46.659
 we are

00:38:46.659 --> 00:38:47.059
 not

00:38:47.059 --> 00:38:47.599
 only

00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:48.679
 citizens

00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:49.440
 of the

 United

00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:50.000

00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:50.460
 of America

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:51.579
 we are

00:38:51.579 --> 00:38:52.460
 citizens

00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:52.980
 of the

00:38:52.980 --> 00:38:53.280
 kingdom

00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:53.800
 of heaven

00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:54.840
 of the

 kingdom

00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:55.559
 of God

00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:55.940
 itself

00:38:55.940 --> 00:38:58.079
 so you

00:38:58.079 --> 00:38:58.500
 and I

00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:59.139
 can anchor

00:38:59.139 --> 00:38:59.699
 our souls

00:38:59.699 --> 00:39:00.240
 in something

00:39:00.240 --> 00:39:00.639
 bigger

00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:01.579
 something

 something

00:39:03.340 --> 00:39:04.000
 everlasting

00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:04.960
 something

00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:05.579
 permanent

00:39:05.579 --> 00:39:06.860
 governments

00:39:06.860 --> 00:39:07.420
 will change

 cultures

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:08.539
 change

 countries

00:39:09.300 --> 00:39:09.820
 change

00:39:09.820 --> 00:39:10.480
 but here

 in Romans

00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:11.280
 8

00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:12.280
 Paul gives

00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:12.780
 us two

00:39:12.780 --> 00:39:13.220
 truths
