00:00:00.220 --> 00:00:01.000
 Good morning.

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.200
 I'm surprised to see so many people today.

00:00:05.339 --> 00:00:08.320
 I honestly expected it to be very empty with the storm,

00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:10.220
 but I'm glad to see so many people.

00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:12.679
 Welcome to Watermark Church.

00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:13.640
 My name is Eric.

00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:16.080
 I'm one of the guys on staff here at the church,

00:00:16.219 --> 00:00:19.199
 and I'm so grateful to be here with you today.

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:21.940
 If you've been here for the past few weeks,

00:00:22.339 --> 00:00:25.140
 you'll know that we've been going through the book of 1 Corinthians,

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:29.660
 and we've been looking in chapter 12 at spiritual gifts,

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.320
 and why God gives gifts to the church

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:34.679
 and what he expects us to do with those gifts.

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:36.520
 And then the past couple weeks,

00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.640
 we've been looking at 1 Corinthians chapter 13,

00:00:39.899 --> 00:00:43.679
 talking about love and seeing that actually the passage about love

00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.600
 also connects to spiritual gifts

00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.760
 and how we are supposed to use them within the context of the church.

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.379
 Today we're moving on to chapter 14,

00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.460
 and what we're going to see is that, again, with gifts,

00:00:57.460 --> 00:01:02.820
 God gives gifts to us so that we can build up the church

00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:04.000
 and encourage one another.

00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:06.599
 That one of the big things God wants us to do

00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.359
 when we come together as a church

00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.120
 is to encourage one another and build one another up,

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:16.000
 and that he gives us gifts to help us as we do that.

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.719
 And the first thing that we need to see is that God wants us

00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.140
 to love one another by building one another up.

00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:26.239
 If you were paying attention during the scripture reading,

00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:31.140
 you'll notice that this passage is specifically about two spiritual gifts.

00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:34.579
 You have tongues, and you have prophecy.

00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:37.239
 And it seems that in the church in Corinth,

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.560
 there was a spiritual popularity contest going on,

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.219
 and everyone wanted to speak in tongues

00:01:43.219 --> 00:01:45.019
 because that's what all the cool kids did.

00:01:46.019 --> 00:01:47.719
 And if you spoke in tongues,

00:01:47.859 --> 00:01:51.040
 you were seen as a better, more mature Christian.

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.120
 If you didn't speak in tongues,

00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.760
 and you had one of those other second-rate gifts,

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.840
 then you yourself were a second-rate Christian.

00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.240
 And Paul is saying that is not the case.

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.719
 He's actually saying tongues is a great gift,

00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:12.099
 but it's not one that should be used in the context of the gathered church.

00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.740
 Because when we use spiritual gifts,

00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.379
 we have to be aware of our context.

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:21.539
 And in the context of the church,

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.780
 God wants us to build one another up,

00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:26.280
 and tongues, although they build ourselves up,

00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:28.340
 don't build up one another.

00:02:28.340 --> 00:02:31.740
 Prophecy, however, builds up others.

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:33.240
 You can think about it this way.

00:02:34.099 --> 00:02:36.960
 Imagine we went on a Habitat for Humanity building trip.

00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:39.180
 And we're heading to the trip,

00:02:39.420 --> 00:02:41.180
 and you have your bag packed,

00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:42.980
 and you have a little hammer and nails in there.

00:02:43.300 --> 00:02:45.420
 And I am super excited

00:02:45.420 --> 00:02:49.319
 because I have brought an amazing and powerful tool with me,

00:02:49.580 --> 00:02:50.379
 a jackhammer.

00:02:51.699 --> 00:02:53.659
 And we get to the building site,

00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:56.340
 and you have your little puny hammer and nails,

00:02:56.340 --> 00:02:59.520
 but I am walking around showing off my jackhammer.

00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.319
 And it is big, and it is powerful.

00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:03.860
 I find somewhere to set it up,

00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:04.840
 and I go to work.

00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.439
 And a crowd gathers around

00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.520
 because I'm big, and I'm making lots of noise,

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.439
 and they want to see what's going on.

00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.640
 And everyone is paying attention to me

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:21.360
 because I have this big and powerful and amazing tool.

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.140
 But there's a problem.

00:03:25.940 --> 00:03:28.620
 We're at a Habitat for Humanity building site.

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.940
 Our goal is to build a house.

00:03:31.700 --> 00:03:33.420
 The foundations are already laid.

00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:35.240
 There's no need to dig up the ground.

00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.680
 In the context that we're in,

00:03:39.260 --> 00:03:41.340
 even though my tool may be more powerful,

00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:42.820
 may be more expensive,

00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:44.120
 may be cooler,

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:45.540
 may get more attention,

00:03:45.539 --> 00:03:48.699
 your hammer and nails are a way better tool

00:03:48.699 --> 00:03:50.939
 for this context than my jackhammer.

00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.819
 There are contexts where the jackhammer

00:03:53.819 --> 00:03:54.780
 will be a better tool,

00:03:55.219 --> 00:03:58.620
 but in this context of a Habitat for Humanity building trip,

00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.479
 the hammer and nails are the tools that you need

00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.680
 because they are the tools

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.079
 that will help you build the house.

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:07.879
 And Paul is saying in the same way,

00:04:08.139 --> 00:04:09.599
 when we come together as a church,

00:04:09.739 --> 00:04:11.599
 God wants us to build up one another.

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.120
 And tongues is a great gift.

00:04:15.460 --> 00:04:16.639
 It's a powerful gift.

00:04:16.899 --> 00:04:19.079
 It's a gift that gets attention on us,

00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:24.079
 but it's not a gift that builds up the church.

00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.699
 And God wants us to be people

00:04:28.699 --> 00:04:30.259
 who when we come together,

00:04:30.579 --> 00:04:34.019
 build one another up and encourage one another.

00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.180
 And so in the context of the church,

00:04:37.659 --> 00:04:38.759
 prophecy, he's saying,

00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:40.980
 is the better gift

00:04:40.980 --> 00:04:45.160
 because prophecy builds up more than tongues.

00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:48.600
 And, you know, the past few weeks,

00:04:48.660 --> 00:04:49.840
 we've been talking, like I said,

00:04:49.900 --> 00:04:52.680
 a lot about the issue of gifts in the church.

00:04:53.259 --> 00:04:54.500
 And if it feels repetitive,

00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.500
 that's because Paul was a little bit repetitive

00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:57.240
 on this topic.

00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.500
 And Paul, I think, was repetitive on this topic

00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:03.060
 because he saw it as vitally important

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:04.540
 in the life of the church.

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:07.600
 He said, God gives us gifts

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.660
 because he expects us to use them properly.

00:05:09.660 --> 00:05:11.060
 And if we don't understand

00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:12.900
 how we're supposed to use them,

00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:15.920
 then we're not going to use them in the proper way.

00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:17.260
 And we're not going to accomplish

00:05:17.260 --> 00:05:18.980
 the proper tasks with them

00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:21.260
 that God wants us to accomplish.

00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:24.400
 So let's take a minute

00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:26.960
 and think about where we are personally

00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:29.160
 in terms of spiritual gifts.

00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.600
 Do you know whether you have any spiritual gifts?

00:05:33.740 --> 00:05:34.600
 Do you know what they are?

00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:36.840
 If you don't,

00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.840
 I would encourage you to get involved

00:05:38.840 --> 00:05:40.160
 in some ministries

00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:41.720
 and try out different things

00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:43.160
 and see what comes up.

00:05:43.220 --> 00:05:44.580
 If you have a bulletin today,

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.260
 we have this little insert.

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:48.000
 You can check it out.

00:05:48.280 --> 00:05:50.320
 It has a list of all the different ministries

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:51.060
 in Watermark

00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:53.120
 and all the different ministry needs

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:53.800
 that we have

00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.100
 and spiritual gifts that go along with them.

00:05:56.100 --> 00:05:58.840
 And so my encouragement to you is

00:05:58.840 --> 00:06:01.580
 if you know what spiritual gifts you have

00:06:01.580 --> 00:06:02.379
 and you would say,

00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:03.800
 I'm not really using them

00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:05.040
 to build up the church right now,

00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:06.400
 check out the list.

00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:08.020
 Find out where you can get plugged in

00:06:08.020 --> 00:06:10.060
 and find a way that you can get involved

00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:11.840
 in helping to build up the church.

00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:14.080
 And if you would say,

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.720
 I have no clue what spiritual gifts I have,

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:18.560
 check out the list.

00:06:19.220 --> 00:06:20.900
 Find something that seems interesting to you.

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:21.540
 Try it out

00:06:21.540 --> 00:06:23.700
 and see whether you discover

00:06:23.700 --> 00:06:25.360
 that you have some spiritual gifts

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.280
 that you never actually knew you had beforehand.

00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:29.900
 And ultimately,

00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:32.680
 as Paul has already said

00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.200
 in chapter 12 of Corinthians,

00:06:35.460 --> 00:06:36.920
 the spiritual gifts that we have

00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.200
 don't make us better or worse Christians.

00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.560
 God's the one who gives out spiritual gifts.

00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:45.460
 The thing that makes us more or less mature

00:06:45.460 --> 00:06:47.379
 is how we use the gifts once we have them.

00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:49.820
 Are we using them to draw attention to ourselves?

00:06:49.819 --> 00:06:52.639
 Are we using them to build up the body?

00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.120
 Are we using them to make ourselves look greater?

00:06:56.259 --> 00:06:58.740
 Are we using them to make God look greater?

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:02.699
 And that's the point

00:07:02.699 --> 00:07:04.000
 that Paul is trying to get at here.

00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.180
 Prophecy is a great gift in the church.

00:07:07.719 --> 00:07:09.800
 Prophecy, delivering messages from God

00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.219
 to the church to challenge people

00:07:12.219 --> 00:07:14.800
 and equip people and lead them towards God

00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.339
 is a great gift for the church

00:07:17.339 --> 00:07:18.659
 because it builds everyone up.

00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:19.480
 where tongues,

00:07:20.420 --> 00:07:22.540
 speaking to God in unknown languages

00:07:22.540 --> 00:07:25.040
 that even we ourselves can't understand,

00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:27.160
 it's great, it's powerful,

00:07:27.320 --> 00:07:29.860
 it's amazing to have this direct communication with God,

00:07:30.020 --> 00:07:33.400
 but if I'm up here speaking in tongues,

00:07:34.380 --> 00:07:36.400
 none of you have any clue what's going on.

00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:38.720
 And so in the context of the church,

00:07:39.140 --> 00:07:41.600
 a gift that comes in clear language

00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:43.180
 is essential

00:07:43.180 --> 00:07:45.300
 because clear communication

00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:48.160
 is essential for building up the church.

00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:50.780
 And that's the second thing I want us to see today

00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:52.259
 is that clear communication

00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:53.480
 is essential

00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.960
 to building one another up

00:07:55.960 --> 00:07:58.139
 in the context of the gathered church.

00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:00.620
 And, you know,

00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:03.379
 if I wanted to come up and encourage you,

00:08:03.899 --> 00:08:05.500
 say I wanted to encourage Christina,

00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:06.939
 and I walked up to her

00:08:06.939 --> 00:08:07.379
 and I said,

00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.240
 would she be encouraged?

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:13.980
 Probably not.

00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:15.759
 She would say,

00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:16.959
 what the heck is going on, Eric?

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:18.839
 And I would say,

00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.259
 well, that was me saying,

00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:21.000
 hi, Christina,

00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:22.379
 I hope you're having a great day.

00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.339
 God loves you in my language.

00:08:24.339 --> 00:08:27.639
 But if she can't understand it,

00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.119
 it makes no difference to her

00:08:29.119 --> 00:08:30.219
 and doesn't build her up.

00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.659
 And so that's sort of what Paul is getting here

00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:35.679
 is that in these two gifts

00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:36.879
 that relate to communication,

00:08:37.539 --> 00:08:40.439
 tongues don't build others up

00:08:40.439 --> 00:08:43.059
 because even if you're saying

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:46.199
 amazing, great spiritual truths in tongues,

00:08:46.419 --> 00:08:47.819
 they can't be understood

00:08:47.819 --> 00:08:49.579
 by the rest of the church.

00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:53.519
 He talks about instruments,

00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:54.699
 a flute or a harp,

00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:56.159
 and says, you know,

00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:57.720
 if I just get up on an instrument

00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:59.340
 and I start banging around

00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:00.000
 and playing it

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.720
 with no rhythm or rhyme or anything,

00:09:02.199 --> 00:09:03.379
 no one's going to have any clue

00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:03.879
 what I'm playing.

00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.259
 If we're in an army

00:09:07.259 --> 00:09:09.379
 and the army needs to be assembled

00:09:09.379 --> 00:09:11.840
 and the bugler comes out

00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:13.159
 and starts playing the bugle

00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:14.860
 to gather us together

00:09:14.860 --> 00:09:16.720
 but doesn't play anything distinct,

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:18.699
 no one's going to know

00:09:18.699 --> 00:09:20.279
 that we're supposed to get ready for battle.

00:09:20.439 --> 00:09:21.240
 Everyone's going to think

00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:22.579
 he's practicing

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:23.460
 or trying to figure out

00:09:23.460 --> 00:09:24.100
 how it works.

00:09:26.139 --> 00:09:27.280
 In the same way,

00:09:27.400 --> 00:09:29.040
 when we communicate with each other

00:09:29.040 --> 00:09:30.300
 within the context of the church,

00:09:30.300 --> 00:09:31.879
 we need to communicate in a way

00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:33.460
 that can be understood

00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:34.980
 by one another

00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:36.520
 so that the ideas

00:09:36.520 --> 00:09:37.700
 that we're trying to communicate

00:09:37.700 --> 00:09:39.960
 can be properly communicated

00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:40.900
 and understood.

00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:45.000
 And he's not saying tongues are bad.

00:09:45.820 --> 00:09:47.740
 He actually says tongues are a good thing.

00:09:48.300 --> 00:09:50.700
 He says he himself speaks in tongues.

00:09:50.700 --> 00:09:52.759
 He says he wishes that everyone

00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:53.840
 in the church

00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.540
 could speak in tongues.

00:09:56.180 --> 00:09:58.100
 He says tongues build us up

00:09:58.100 --> 00:09:59.920
 and he's not saying this in a bad way

00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:02.660
 like a prideful building yourself up

00:10:02.660 --> 00:10:05.340
 but it's more of a devotional building up,

00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.580
 the way that you would be built up spiritually

00:10:07.580 --> 00:10:08.740
 when you read your Bible

00:10:08.740 --> 00:10:09.700
 or when you pray.

00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:12.780
 He says tongues are a great thing

00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:18.100
 but it's all about the context.

00:10:19.139 --> 00:10:20.779
 Tongues are an amazing gift

00:10:20.779 --> 00:10:22.980
 for growing closer to God

00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:24.439
 in your personal devotions,

00:10:24.539 --> 00:10:25.139
 he's telling them.

00:10:26.139 --> 00:10:27.600
 But when you're gathered together

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:28.379
 as a church,

00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:31.579
 that's not the right context

00:10:31.579 --> 00:10:33.279
 because in the context of the church,

00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:37.000
 clear communication is essential.

00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.159
 Just like the jackhammer

00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.159
 on the Habitat for Humanity site.

00:10:41.700 --> 00:10:43.679
 It's a great and powerful tool

00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.000
 but when it's used in the wrong context,

00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:48.019
 it's not going to accomplish

00:10:48.019 --> 00:10:51.200
 the job that needs to be done.

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.659
 He also talks about interpreters of tongues.

00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.200
 He says if you have the gift of tongues,

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.360
 you should pray that you could interpret.

00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:04.820
 And he says if you have an interpreter,

00:11:05.460 --> 00:11:08.080
 then it's okay to speak in tongues in church

00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.139
 because this message

00:11:10.139 --> 00:11:12.220
 is no longer direct between you and God

00:11:12.220 --> 00:11:14.919
 but actually between you and God

00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:16.500
 and the rest of the congregation

00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:17.480
 through the interpreter.

00:11:18.680 --> 00:11:20.480
 He doesn't want them to get the wrong idea

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:21.820
 and swing the pendulum too far

00:11:21.820 --> 00:11:22.800
 and say tongues are evil,

00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:23.700
 we need to stay away.

00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:25.680
 He wants to help them see

00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:26.840
 this is a good gift

00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:29.879
 but it's a powerful tool

00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.700
 that needs to be used carefully

00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:33.100
 and in the right way.

00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:35.740
 And he believes so strongly

00:11:35.740 --> 00:11:37.900
 in this power of clear communication

00:11:37.900 --> 00:11:38.700
 that he says

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:40.460
 he would rather speak

00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:42.340
 one simple sentence

00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:44.640
 in clear plain language

00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:48.220
 than 10,000 words in a tongue.

00:11:49.460 --> 00:11:50.680
 I'm kind of a nerd

00:11:50.680 --> 00:11:53.120
 and so I wondered

00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.259
 if someone says 10,000 words,

00:11:55.400 --> 00:11:57.000
 how long will it take them to do that?

00:11:57.660 --> 00:11:59.700
 So I googled average speaking pace

00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:02.240
 and discovered that to speak,

00:12:02.740 --> 00:12:03.820
 that the average person

00:12:03.820 --> 00:12:06.100
 speaks about 150 words per minute

00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:08.300
 which means that if you're speaking

00:12:08.300 --> 00:12:09.660
 10,000 words,

00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:11.600
 that's speaking for a little bit

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.320
 over an hour.

00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.920
 It's like a long sermon basically.

00:12:17.280 --> 00:12:18.000
 And Paul says,

00:12:18.140 --> 00:12:19.200
 I would rather get up here

00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:20.759
 and speak five words

00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:22.080
 that everyone can understand

00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.060
 than 10,000 words,

00:12:24.140 --> 00:12:25.560
 a one hour long sermon

00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:26.660
 in tongues.

00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:28.819
 Picture this scenario with me.

00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.139
 I know it's far-fetched.

00:12:30.199 --> 00:12:31.000
 It would never happen.

00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:32.719
 But if the Apostle Paul

00:12:32.719 --> 00:12:33.600
 was alive today

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.339
 and Tobin calls him up

00:12:35.339 --> 00:12:35.939
 and says,

00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:36.759
 hey, Paul,

00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.480
 we want you to come to Watermark.

00:12:38.699 --> 00:12:39.719
 We want you to be

00:12:39.719 --> 00:12:41.179
 our guest speaker for a Sunday.

00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:43.679
 Because you're the Apostle Paul,

00:12:43.819 --> 00:12:45.539
 we're going to change the schedule

00:12:45.539 --> 00:12:46.980
 for the service a little bit.

00:12:47.439 --> 00:12:48.679
 We're going to have you

00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.379
 preach for an hour.

00:12:50.379 --> 00:12:52.079
 It's a long sermon for us.

00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:55.420
 And we know that you have

00:12:55.420 --> 00:12:56.700
 this great gift of tongues

00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:58.060
 and we want to see

00:12:58.060 --> 00:12:58.879
 and experience it.

00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:00.300
 So if you could come up here

00:13:00.300 --> 00:13:01.660
 and preach for an hour

00:13:01.660 --> 00:13:02.400
 in tongues,

00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:04.340
 we would love that, Paul.

00:13:05.520 --> 00:13:06.480
 And Paul says,

00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:07.720
 I'll come preach.

00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:07.940
 Okay.

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:09.840
 And he gets here

00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.320
 and we start service.

00:13:11.460 --> 00:13:12.680
 The band plays a couple songs.

00:13:12.780 --> 00:13:13.620
 Maybe we take communion.

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:15.840
 And we have the scripture reading

00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.560
 and Paul gets up front

00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.259
 and he steps up

00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:20.899
 and he says,

00:13:21.139 --> 00:13:21.679
 Watermark,

00:13:22.719 --> 00:13:24.279
 Jesus died for you.

00:13:25.199 --> 00:13:25.939
 Drops the mic

00:13:25.939 --> 00:13:27.219
 because he's from the first century

00:13:27.219 --> 00:13:28.459
 and doesn't know what to do with it

00:13:28.459 --> 00:13:29.979
 and walks off the stage.

00:13:32.059 --> 00:13:33.139
 And the band sort of

00:13:33.139 --> 00:13:33.919
 looks at each other

00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:34.559
 and is like,

00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:36.019
 are we supposed to go back up

00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:37.359
 for the closing song right now?

00:13:38.579 --> 00:13:40.019
 I guess so.

00:13:40.119 --> 00:13:41.359
 And so they come back up

00:13:41.359 --> 00:13:42.319
 and sort of hesitantly

00:13:42.319 --> 00:13:43.579
 play through the last song

00:13:43.579 --> 00:13:45.579
 and then Jeremy looks over at Tobin

00:13:45.579 --> 00:13:46.039
 and he's like,

00:13:46.119 --> 00:13:47.219
 are we done?

00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:48.080
 I think.

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:49.660
 And Tobin comes up

00:13:49.660 --> 00:13:50.660
 and does an awkward

00:13:50.660 --> 00:13:51.580
 closing benediction

00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:53.120
 because everyone's really confused.

00:13:53.779 --> 00:13:55.300
 And as soon as the service ends,

00:13:55.560 --> 00:13:57.580
 Tobin makes a beeline for Paul

00:13:57.580 --> 00:13:58.100
 and he's like,

00:13:58.220 --> 00:13:58.540
 Paul,

00:13:58.879 --> 00:13:59.800
 what happened?

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:01.000
 We had talked about this.

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:02.259
 You were supposed to preach

00:14:02.259 --> 00:14:02.960
 for an hour

00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.899
 and you took like 10 seconds

00:14:05.899 --> 00:14:07.540
 and you were supposed to preach

00:14:07.540 --> 00:14:08.100
 in tongues

00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:09.860
 and I didn't hear any of that.

00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:11.100
 What's going on?

00:14:12.180 --> 00:14:13.660
 And Paul says to Tobin,

00:14:13.740 --> 00:14:14.000
 look,

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.899
 the five words that I said

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:20.120
 have more meaning

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:20.980
 and application

00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:22.019
 for your life

00:14:22.019 --> 00:14:23.539
 than anything

00:14:23.539 --> 00:14:24.919
 that anyone here

00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:26.360
 would have gotten out of it

00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.179
 if I had stood up there

00:14:28.179 --> 00:14:28.700
 for an hour

00:14:28.700 --> 00:14:29.779
 and spoken in tongues.

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:34.399
 Because clear communication

00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:36.940
 is essential

00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:39.419
 in the life of the church.

00:14:39.419 --> 00:14:41.159
 There was a German theologian

00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:42.759
 named Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:43.879
 He lived around the time

00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:44.759
 of World War II.

00:14:45.319 --> 00:14:47.399
 He wrote a lot about community.

00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:48.399
 He has a book called

00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:48.939
 Life Together.

00:14:49.099 --> 00:14:50.259
 If you want to read about community,

00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:51.459
 it's an excellent book

00:14:51.459 --> 00:14:52.079
 to look up.

00:14:52.620 --> 00:14:53.379
 And he has a quote

00:14:53.379 --> 00:14:54.099
 in that book

00:14:54.099 --> 00:14:55.819
 about this topic.

00:14:56.019 --> 00:14:56.379
 He says,

00:14:56.379 --> 00:14:57.559
 God has willed

00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:59.179
 that we should seek

00:14:59.179 --> 00:14:59.840
 and find

00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:01.139
 his living word

00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:02.159
 in the witness

00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:03.039
 of a brother

00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:03.779
 or sister

00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:05.379
 in the mouth of man.

00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:06.779
 That God wants us

00:15:06.779 --> 00:15:07.360
 to communicate

00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:08.120
 his truth

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:09.080
 to one another.

00:15:10.500 --> 00:15:11.059
 Therefore,

00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:12.360
 the Christian needs

00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:13.439
 another Christian

00:15:13.439 --> 00:15:14.299
 who speaks

00:15:14.299 --> 00:15:15.320
 God's words

00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:16.100
 to him.

00:15:17.059 --> 00:15:17.740
 He needs him

00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:19.000
 again and again

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.100
 when he becomes

00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:20.600
 uncertain

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:21.399
 and discouraged

00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:22.659
 for by himself

00:15:22.659 --> 00:15:24.379
 he cannot help himself

00:15:24.379 --> 00:15:25.480
 without belying

00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:26.019
 the truth.

00:15:26.580 --> 00:15:27.279
 There are times

00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:28.019
 where each of us

00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:29.060
 become discouraged

00:15:29.060 --> 00:15:30.300
 and disheartened

00:15:30.300 --> 00:15:31.700
 and we need someone else

00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:32.500
 to come up

00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:33.860
 and speak God's truth

00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:34.259
 to us

00:15:34.259 --> 00:15:35.480
 because when we hear it

00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:36.060
 from someone else

00:15:36.060 --> 00:15:37.440
 we can understand it

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:38.139
 and believe it

00:15:38.139 --> 00:15:39.240
 in a way that we can't

00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:40.500
 just telling it

00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:41.080
 to ourselves.

00:15:41.800 --> 00:15:42.580
 He continues

00:15:42.580 --> 00:15:43.100
 and he says,

00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:43.840
 the Christ

00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:45.500
 in his own heart

00:15:45.500 --> 00:15:46.720
 is weaker

00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:47.580
 than the Christ

00:15:47.580 --> 00:15:48.220
 in the word

00:15:48.220 --> 00:15:48.860
 of his brother.

00:15:49.539 --> 00:15:50.480
 His own heart

00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:51.300
 is uncertain.

00:15:51.899 --> 00:15:52.720
 His brother's

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:53.420
 is sure.

00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:54.779
 Let me read that again.

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:55.399
 The Christ

00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:56.399
 in his own heart

00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:57.199
 is weaker

00:15:57.199 --> 00:15:58.000
 than the Christ

00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:58.620
 in the word

00:15:58.620 --> 00:15:59.220
 of his brother.

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:00.860
 His own heart

00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:01.699
 is uncertain.

00:16:02.259 --> 00:16:03.159
 His brother's

00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:03.740
 is sure.

00:16:04.699 --> 00:16:05.519
 This has been true

00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:05.959
 in my life

00:16:05.959 --> 00:16:06.879
 many, many times

00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:08.919
 where I'm having

00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:09.860
 trouble obeying God.

00:16:09.939 --> 00:16:10.620
 I'm having trouble

00:16:10.620 --> 00:16:11.620
 trusting that God's

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:12.519
 promises are true

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.100
 and I know

00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:14.779
 these truths

00:16:14.779 --> 00:16:15.339
 from the Bible.

00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:16.720
 I know how God

00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:17.559
 promises me

00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:18.139
 that I'll have

00:16:18.139 --> 00:16:18.819
 fullness of joy

00:16:18.819 --> 00:16:19.179
 in him

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:19.539
 and that he'll

00:16:19.539 --> 00:16:20.519
 give me strength

00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:21.220
 to fight against

00:16:21.220 --> 00:16:21.720
 temptation

00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.440
 and I repeat

00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:24.139
 them to myself

00:16:24.139 --> 00:16:25.360
 over and over

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:25.980
 and over

00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:28.460
 and I still

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:29.120
 feel trapped.

00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:29.860
 I still feel

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:30.240
 helpless

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.560
 and then I pick

00:16:32.560 --> 00:16:33.220
 up the phone

00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:34.279
 and call

00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:34.899
 or message

00:16:34.899 --> 00:16:35.519
 Alfie

00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:36.259
 or Jeremy

00:16:36.259 --> 00:16:37.120
 or Chris

00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:37.879
 or Edmund

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:38.720
 and I just say,

00:16:38.800 --> 00:16:39.220
 hey guys,

00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:40.759
 this is going on

00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:42.220
 and they say

00:16:42.220 --> 00:16:42.940
 the exact same

00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:43.420
 thing to me

00:16:43.420 --> 00:16:43.879
 that I've been

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:44.600
 saying to myself

00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:45.279
 the whole time

00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:46.559
 but for some

00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:47.159
 reason when I

00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:47.699
 hear it from

00:16:47.699 --> 00:16:48.039
 them

00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.199
 it makes a

00:16:50.199 --> 00:16:50.579
 difference

00:16:50.579 --> 00:16:51.319
 that it never

00:16:51.319 --> 00:16:51.879
 made when I

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:52.319
 heard it from

00:16:52.319 --> 00:16:52.799
 myself.

00:16:53.459 --> 00:16:54.339
 When they say,

00:16:54.459 --> 00:16:54.839
 hey look,

00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:56.059
 God is with you

00:16:56.059 --> 00:16:56.480
 in this.

00:16:56.839 --> 00:16:57.220
 God's going to

00:16:57.220 --> 00:16:57.579
 give you the

00:16:57.579 --> 00:16:58.120
 strength to

00:16:58.120 --> 00:16:58.720
 overcome this

00:16:58.720 --> 00:16:59.159
 temptation.

00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:00.559
 That has a

00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:01.379
 power to it

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:02.500
 that no amount

00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:03.539
 of self-will

00:17:03.539 --> 00:17:05.339
 can conjure up

00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:06.059
 within myself.

00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:07.899
 The Christ

00:17:07.899 --> 00:17:09.059
 in the word

00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:09.639
 of my brother

00:17:09.639 --> 00:17:10.379
 is stronger

00:17:10.379 --> 00:17:11.460
 than the Christ

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:12.460
 in my own

00:17:12.460 --> 00:17:13.139
 heart in those

00:17:13.139 --> 00:17:13.879
 moments and

00:17:13.879 --> 00:17:14.539
 that's why

00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:15.279
 God has given

00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:15.799
 us this

00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:16.480
 community

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:17.240
 of the church.

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.180
 That's why

00:17:18.180 --> 00:17:19.259
 God has us

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:19.680
 come together.

00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:20.440
 That's why

00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:21.700
 Paul encourages

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:22.639
 us to build

00:17:22.639 --> 00:17:23.139
 one another

00:17:23.139 --> 00:17:23.879
 up when we

00:17:23.879 --> 00:17:24.460
 come together.

00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:26.379
 The last line

00:17:26.379 --> 00:17:27.119
 of Bonhoeffer's

00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:27.359
 quote,

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:27.779
 he says,

00:17:28.139 --> 00:17:28.700
 this is the

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:29.680
 goal of all

00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:30.819
 Christian community.

00:17:31.639 --> 00:17:32.119
 They meet

00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:32.799
 one another

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.180
 as bringers

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:35.079
 of the message

00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:35.960
 of salvation.

00:17:36.879 --> 00:17:37.659
 That when we

00:17:37.659 --> 00:17:38.240
 come together

00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:38.940
 it's not just

00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:39.619
 supposed to be

00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:40.859
 me or Tobin

00:17:40.859 --> 00:17:41.319
 or Chris

00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:41.799
 or Alfie

00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:42.240
 or Graham

00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:43.000
 standing up here

00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:43.599
 on stage

00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:44.099
 and speaking

00:17:44.099 --> 00:17:44.639
 to you.

00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:45.619
 But that

00:17:45.619 --> 00:17:46.379
 actually each

00:17:46.379 --> 00:17:46.839
 and every

00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:47.439
 one of us

00:17:47.439 --> 00:17:47.879
 is supposed

00:17:47.879 --> 00:17:48.339
 to come

00:17:48.339 --> 00:17:48.740
 together

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:49.459
 and share

00:17:49.459 --> 00:17:50.019
 God's words

00:17:50.019 --> 00:17:50.359
 with one

00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:50.619
 another

00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:51.519
 and share

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:52.419
 this message

00:17:52.419 --> 00:17:53.259
 of salvation

00:17:53.259 --> 00:17:54.740
 among ourselves.

00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:56.719
 That the church

00:17:56.719 --> 00:17:57.659
 is an incredibly

00:17:57.659 --> 00:17:58.799
 powerful tool

00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:00.240
 created by God

00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.059
 to transform

00:18:01.059 --> 00:18:01.659
 the lives

00:18:01.659 --> 00:18:02.259
 of his people.

00:18:02.699 --> 00:18:03.500
 To bring us

00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:04.359
 into community

00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:05.000
 with one another

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:05.839
 so that as we

00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:06.500
 come together

00:18:06.500 --> 00:18:07.279
 we are pointing

00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:07.719
 each other

00:18:07.719 --> 00:18:09.159
 back towards him.

00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:11.419
 And Paul

00:18:11.419 --> 00:18:12.219
 in this passage

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:12.940
 in 1 Corinthians

00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:13.880
 14 is saying

00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:14.839
 that is absolutely

00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:15.299
 true.

00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:17.319
 And that's why

00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:18.279
 it is so

00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:18.839
 essential

00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:19.779
 that when we

00:18:19.779 --> 00:18:20.420
 come together

00:18:20.420 --> 00:18:21.019
 as a church

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:21.700
 we communicate

00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:22.420
 with each other

00:18:22.420 --> 00:18:23.240
 in language

00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:24.360
 that is clear

00:18:24.360 --> 00:18:25.740
 and understandable

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:26.680
 to one another.

00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:27.920
 So that when

00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:28.920
 we share this

00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:29.960
 message of salvation

00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:30.759
 with one another

00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:32.200
 it can be comprehended

00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:32.900
 and applied

00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:33.920
 by the others

00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:34.620
 in the church

00:18:34.620 --> 00:18:35.519
 and it can make

00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:36.000
 a difference

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:37.220
 in our day-to-day lives.

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:43.600
 the core

00:18:43.600 --> 00:18:44.460
 reason that

00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:44.880
 the church

00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:45.440
 exists

00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:46.640
 is to worship

00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:47.059
 God

00:18:47.059 --> 00:18:47.680
 and to meet

00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:48.200
 one another

00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:49.339
 as bringers

00:18:49.339 --> 00:18:50.039
 of the message

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:50.819
 of salvation.

00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:54.640
 And so

00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:55.440
 I want us

00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:56.039
 to take a minute

00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:57.299
 to think about

00:18:57.299 --> 00:18:58.759
 this issue

00:18:58.759 --> 00:18:59.279
 of clear

00:18:59.279 --> 00:18:59.940
 communication.

00:19:02.180 --> 00:19:02.380
 You know

00:19:02.380 --> 00:19:03.180
 do we feel

00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:03.740
 like we

00:19:03.740 --> 00:19:04.539
 are doing

00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:05.200
 a good job

00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:06.000
 of communicating

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:06.559
 clearly

00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:07.279
 this message

00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:07.859
 of salvation

00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:08.559
 with one another?

00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:10.740
 On a couple levels.

00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:11.160
 One

00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:12.339
 are we actually

00:19:12.339 --> 00:19:13.119
 opening our mouths

00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:14.200
 to talk to one another

00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:15.859
 and share this message?

00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:18.099
 Or are we just

00:19:18.099 --> 00:19:18.799
 assuming they already

00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:19.180
 know it

00:19:19.180 --> 00:19:19.720
 so they don't need

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.519
 us to repeat it

00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:21.940
 so no worries.

00:19:24.259 --> 00:19:25.200
 And if we do

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.000
 open our mouths

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.099
 to share this message

00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:27.779
 of salvation

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:28.619
 with one another

00:19:28.619 --> 00:19:31.599
 are we sharing it

00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:32.480
 in a way

00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:33.440
 that is

00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:34.460
 comprehensible

00:19:34.460 --> 00:19:35.000
 to them?

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:36.200
 Like I know

00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:36.779
 I've been around

00:19:36.779 --> 00:19:37.160
 the church

00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:37.920
 for a long time

00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.240
 and I know

00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:39.720
 this isn't

00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:40.660
 quite exactly

00:19:40.660 --> 00:19:41.680
 the same issue

00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.079
 as speaking

00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:42.539
 in tongues

00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:43.019
 but it does

00:19:43.019 --> 00:19:43.480
 have to do

00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:44.460
 with being

00:19:44.460 --> 00:19:45.039
 understandable.

00:19:45.539 --> 00:19:45.900
 I know

00:19:45.900 --> 00:19:46.200
 that when

00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:46.500
 you've been

00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:46.940
 in the church

00:19:46.940 --> 00:19:47.440
 for a long

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:47.779
 time

00:19:47.779 --> 00:19:48.059
 there are

00:19:48.059 --> 00:19:48.420
 lots of

00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:49.140
 big church

00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:49.559
 words

00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:49.920
 that you

00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:50.160
 learn

00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.440
 and it's

00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:52.059
 very easy

00:19:52.059 --> 00:19:52.680
 to have

00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:53.319
 these church

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:53.740
 words

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:54.799
 just become

00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:55.819
 the content

00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:56.819
 of our

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.660
 conversations

00:19:57.660 --> 00:19:58.799
 about God

00:19:58.799 --> 00:19:59.599
 or in the church

00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:01.240
 and so

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:01.719
 we have

00:20:01.719 --> 00:20:02.859
 these big

00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:03.179
 words

00:20:03.179 --> 00:20:03.419
 like

00:20:03.419 --> 00:20:04.199
 atonement

00:20:04.199 --> 00:20:05.139
 and justification

00:20:05.139 --> 00:20:06.139
 and sanctification

00:20:06.139 --> 00:20:07.099
 and propitiation

00:20:07.099 --> 00:20:08.559
 that most people

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:09.099
 in the church

00:20:09.099 --> 00:20:09.699
 don't know

00:20:09.699 --> 00:20:10.579
 and nobody

00:20:10.579 --> 00:20:11.459
 outside the church

00:20:11.459 --> 00:20:11.859
 knows

00:20:11.859 --> 00:20:14.059
 and yet

00:20:14.059 --> 00:20:14.719
 people who have

00:20:14.719 --> 00:20:15.279
 been in the church

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:15.879
 a long time

00:20:15.879 --> 00:20:16.719
 like to throw

00:20:16.719 --> 00:20:17.439
 these big words

00:20:17.439 --> 00:20:18.240
 into conversations

00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:21.579
 and it leaves

00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:22.000
 other people

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:22.599
 behind a lot

00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:23.039
 of the time

00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:23.559
 because if you're

00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:24.119
 talking to a new

00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:24.480
 Christian

00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:25.559
 they have no clue

00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:26.619
 or a non-Christian

00:20:26.619 --> 00:20:27.459
 they have no clue

00:20:27.459 --> 00:20:28.240
 what's going on

00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:28.740
 when you use

00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:29.279
 these words

00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:31.519
 and I know

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:32.359
 personally

00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:33.480
 I've done this

00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:33.779
 before

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:34.119
 and that's

00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:34.700
 probably why

00:20:34.700 --> 00:20:35.160
 I'm aware

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.519
 of it

00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:36.480
 so I'm not

00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:37.039
 just saying

00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:37.859
 you guys

00:20:37.859 --> 00:20:38.359
 do this

00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:38.740
 but it's

00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:38.960
 actually

00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:39.259
 something

00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:39.799
 I've done

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:40.119
 too

00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:41.779
 but are we

00:20:41.779 --> 00:20:42.240
 able to

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:42.680
 communicate

00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:43.299
 the gospel

00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:43.980
 in a way

00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:45.539
 that someone

00:20:45.539 --> 00:20:46.019
 who's never

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:46.599
 heard of Christ

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:46.940
 before

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:47.639
 can understand

00:20:47.639 --> 00:20:50.680
 are we

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:51.480
 that clear

00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:51.819
 in our

00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:52.440
 communication

00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:55.619
 because

00:20:55.619 --> 00:20:56.220
 sometimes

00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:56.819
 when I

00:20:56.819 --> 00:20:57.200
 use big

00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:57.519
 words

00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:58.079
 it's because

00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:58.539
 I don't

00:20:58.539 --> 00:20:58.899
 actually

00:20:58.899 --> 00:20:59.339
 understand

00:20:59.339 --> 00:20:59.980
 the concept

00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:01.019
 but I

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:01.279
 want to

00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:01.680
 sound like

00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:01.980
 I do

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:03.740
 or sometimes

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:04.399
 it's because

00:21:04.399 --> 00:21:05.240
 I just want

00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.500
 the other

00:21:05.500 --> 00:21:05.920
 person to

00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:06.099
 think

00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:06.299
 wow

00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:06.759
 he's so

00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:07.019
 smart

00:21:07.019 --> 00:21:07.440
 he knows

00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:07.720
 all these

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:08.220
 big words

00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:09.460
 it's super

00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:09.839
 embarrassing

00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:10.159
 when they

00:21:10.159 --> 00:21:10.480
 ask me

00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:10.920
 to define

00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:11.139
 them

00:21:11.139 --> 00:21:11.379
 and I'm

00:21:11.379 --> 00:21:11.559
 like

00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:13.779
 I think

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:14.119
 it means

00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:14.599
 this

00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.559
 but we

00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:18.839
 need to

00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:19.399
 be clear

00:21:19.399 --> 00:21:19.639
 in our

00:21:19.639 --> 00:21:20.099
 communication

00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:20.459
 we need

00:21:20.459 --> 00:21:20.559
 to

00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:20.819
 actually

00:21:20.819 --> 00:21:21.099
 open

00:21:21.099 --> 00:21:21.259
 our

00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:21.579
 mouths

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:21.959
 to

00:21:21.959 --> 00:21:22.279
 speak

00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:22.439
 to

00:21:22.439 --> 00:21:22.579
 one

00:21:22.579 --> 00:21:22.859
 another

00:21:22.859 --> 00:21:23.539
 and

00:21:23.539 --> 00:21:23.799
 when we

00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:23.980
 do

00:21:23.980 --> 00:21:24.240
 that

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:24.439
 we

00:21:24.439 --> 00:21:24.619
 need

00:21:24.619 --> 00:21:24.759
 to

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:24.939
 do

00:21:24.939 --> 00:21:25.079
 it

00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:25.259
 in

00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:25.500
 such

00:21:25.500 --> 00:21:25.879
 a way

00:21:25.879 --> 00:21:26.599
 that

00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:26.719
 we

00:21:26.719 --> 00:21:26.859
 can

00:21:26.859 --> 00:21:27.399
 understand

00:21:27.399 --> 00:21:27.679
 one

00:21:27.679 --> 00:21:27.980
 another

00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:30.180
 so

00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:30.579
 are you

00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:30.839
 opening

00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:31.079
 your

00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:31.339
 mouth

00:21:31.339 --> 00:21:31.579
 to

00:21:31.579 --> 00:21:31.819
 share

00:21:31.819 --> 00:21:32.039
 this

00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:32.339
 message

00:21:32.339 --> 00:21:32.500
 of

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:32.940
 salvation

00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:33.259
 with

00:21:33.259 --> 00:21:33.460
 those

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:33.759
 around

00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:33.960
 you

00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:34.120
 in

00:21:34.120 --> 00:21:34.259
 the

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:34.539
 church

00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:34.799
 and

00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:35.099
 outside

00:21:35.099 --> 00:21:35.319
 of

00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:35.500
 it

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:36.920
 and

00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:37.420
 if

00:21:37.420 --> 00:21:37.579
 you

00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:37.740
 are

00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:38.000
 doing

00:21:40.539 --> 00:21:41.059
 understand

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:41.259
 it

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:41.680
 simply

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:02.839
 Paul

00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:03.140
 says

00:22:03.140 --> 00:22:03.559
 tongues

00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:03.859
 are

00:22:03.859 --> 00:22:04.039
 a

00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:04.279
 sign

00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:04.480
 not

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:04.660
 for

00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:05.079
 believers

00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:05.519
 but

 for

00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:06.440
 unbelievers

00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:07.879
 it

00:22:07.879 --> 00:22:08.099
 makes

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:08.240
 it

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:08.740
 sound

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:10.420
 like

00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:10.859
 tongues

00:22:10.859 --> 00:22:11.059
 are

00:22:11.059 --> 00:22:11.319
 supposed

00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:11.500
 to

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:11.660
 be

00:22:11.660 --> 00:22:11.980
 something

00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:12.200
 that

00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:12.420
 makes

00:22:12.420 --> 00:22:13.059
 non-christians

00:22:13.059 --> 00:22:13.460
 see how

00:22:13.460 --> 00:22:13.680
 great

00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:13.920
 God

 is

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:14.299
 and

00:22:14.299 --> 00:22:14.440
 that

00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:14.759
 leads

00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:14.920
 them

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:15.059
 to

00:22:15.059 --> 00:22:15.339
 faith

00:22:15.339 --> 00:22:16.299
 but

00:22:16.299 --> 00:22:16.440
 in

 the

00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:18.279

 actually

00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:18.900
 going

 he's

00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:20.799
 quoted

00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:21.079

00:22:22.859 --> 00:22:23.200
 before

00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:23.559
 this

00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:24.140
 by

00:22:24.140 --> 00:22:24.500
 people

00:22:24.500 --> 00:22:24.680
 of

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:25.019
 strange

00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:25.380

00:22:25.380 --> 00:22:25.560
 and

00:22:25.560 --> 00:22:25.660
 by

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:26.180
 of

00:22:26.180 --> 00:22:26.519
 foreigners

00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:26.759
 will

00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:26.900
 I

00:22:26.900 --> 00:22:27.140
 speak

00:22:27.140 --> 00:22:27.279
 to

00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:27.440
 this

00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:27.759
 people

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:28.279
 and

00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:28.539
 even

00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:28.940
 then

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:29.420
 they

00:22:29.420 --> 00:22:29.519
 will

00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:29.720
 not

00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:30.000
 listen

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:30.140
 to

00:22:30.140 --> 00:22:30.320
 me

00:22:30.320 --> 00:22:30.640
 says

00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:30.840
 the

00:22:30.840 --> 00:22:31.080
 Lord

00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:32.039
 and

00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:32.200
 that's

00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:32.340
 from

00:22:32.340 --> 00:22:32.700
 Isaiah

00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:32.940
 and

00:22:32.940 --> 00:22:33.259
 basically

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:33.500
 what

00:22:33.500 --> 00:22:33.900
 happened

00:22:33.900 --> 00:22:34.120
 is

00:22:34.120 --> 00:22:34.400
 God

00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:35.039
 communicated

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:35.360
 very

00:22:35.360 --> 00:22:35.759
 clearly

00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:35.980
 with

00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:36.120
 his

00:22:36.120 --> 00:22:36.360
 people

00:22:36.360 --> 00:22:36.560
 and

00:22:36.560 --> 00:22:36.799
 said

00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:37.279
 you

00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:37.500
 need

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:37.680
 to

00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:38.019
 turn

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:38.360
 and

00:22:38.360 --> 00:22:38.620
 follow

00:22:38.620 --> 00:22:38.900
 me

00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:39.140
 or

00:22:39.140 --> 00:22:39.480
 judgment

00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:39.740
 is

00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:40.019
 coming

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:41.200
 and

00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:41.380
 they

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:41.799
 said

00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:44.039
 that's

00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:44.299
 too

00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:44.580
 simple

00:22:44.580 --> 00:22:44.799
 of a

00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:45.039
 message

00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:45.259
 we're

00:22:45.259 --> 00:22:45.420
 not

00:22:45.420 --> 00:22:45.799
 interested

00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:46.019
 in

00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:46.240
 listening

00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:46.480
 to

00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:46.620
 it

00:22:46.620 --> 00:22:46.759
 because

00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:46.940
 it's

00:22:46.940 --> 00:22:47.140
 too

00:22:47.140 --> 00:22:47.539
 childish

00:22:47.539 --> 00:22:48.900
 and

00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:49.039
 so

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.160
 he

00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:49.299
 said

00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:49.539
 okay

00:22:49.539 --> 00:22:49.820
 I'm

00:22:49.820 --> 00:22:49.880
 going

00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:49.980
 to

00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:50.220
 send

00:22:50.220 --> 00:22:50.500
 in

00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:51.120
 foreign

00:22:51.120 --> 00:22:51.500
 armies

00:22:51.500 --> 00:22:51.740
 to

00:22:51.740 --> 00:22:52.039
 attack

00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:52.220
 you

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:52.380
 and

00:22:52.380 --> 00:22:52.700
 invade

00:22:52.700 --> 00:22:52.880
 you

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:53.059
 and

00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:53.259
 they're

00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:53.360
 going

00:22:53.360 --> 00:22:53.480
 to

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:53.620
 say

00:22:53.620 --> 00:22:53.799
 the

00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:54.039
 same

00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:54.259
 thing

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:54.400
 in

00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:54.559
 their

00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:54.900
 language

00:22:54.900 --> 00:22:55.120
 and

00:22:55.120 --> 00:22:55.279
 you

00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:55.460
 won't

00:22:55.460 --> 00:22:55.600
 be

00:22:55.600 --> 00:22:55.759
 able

00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:55.880
 to

00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:56.240
 understand

00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:56.500
 it

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:56.720
 even

00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:56.920
 though

00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:57.100
 it's

00:22:57.100 --> 00:22:57.320
 super

00:22:57.320 --> 00:22:57.880
 complex

00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:58.840
 and

00:22:58.840 --> 00:22:58.960
 so

00:22:58.960 --> 00:22:59.120
 the

00:22:59.120 --> 00:22:59.360
 foreign

00:22:59.360 --> 00:22:59.640
 armies

00:22:59.640 --> 00:22:59.860
 come

00:22:59.860 --> 00:23:00.160
 in

00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:00.519
 and

00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:00.640
 they

00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:00.920
 take

00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:01.140
 over

00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:01.559
 Israel

00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:02.400
 and

00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:02.860
 it's

00:23:02.860 --> 00:23:03.380
 actually

00:23:03.380 --> 00:23:03.740
 a

00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:04.180
 sign

00:23:04.180 --> 00:23:04.820
 of

00:23:04.820 --> 00:23:05.220
 judgment

00:23:05.220 --> 00:23:05.539
 not

00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:05.700
 of

00:23:05.700 --> 00:23:06.120
 salvation

00:23:06.120 --> 00:23:08.220
 and

00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:08.420
 so

00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:08.820
 Paul

00:23:08.820 --> 00:23:09.120
 is

00:23:09.120 --> 00:23:09.759
 paralleling

00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:10.080
 that

00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:17.360
 an

00:23:17.360 --> 00:23:17.860
 amazing

00:23:17.860 --> 00:23:18.420
 way

00:23:18.420 --> 00:23:19.820
 for

00:23:19.820 --> 00:23:20.180
 judgment

00:23:20.180 --> 00:23:21.640
 so

00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:21.799
 when

00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:21.940
 he

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:22.320
 says

00:23:22.320 --> 00:23:23.180
 tongues

00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:23.500
 are

00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:25.220
 a sign

00:23:25.220 --> 00:23:25.460
 for

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:26.039
 unbelievers

00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:26.779
 that

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:27.100
 actually

00:23:27.100 --> 00:23:27.620
 parallels

00:23:27.620 --> 00:23:28.000
 what he

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:28.180
 says

00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:28.440
 later

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:28.559
 in

00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:28.660
 the

00:23:28.660 --> 00:23:29.080
 passage

00:23:29.080 --> 00:23:29.740
 if

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:29.900
 the

00:23:29.900 --> 00:23:30.180
 whole

00:23:30.180 --> 00:23:30.480
 church

00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:30.799
 comes

00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:31.140
 together

00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:31.400
 and

 in

00:23:32.100 --> 00:23:32.400
 tongues

00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:33.000
 and

 any

00:23:33.299 --> 00:23:33.799
 outsider

00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.039
 or

00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:34.600
 unbeliever

00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:35.080
 enters

00:23:35.080 --> 00:23:35.759
 will

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:35.880
 they

00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:36.080
 not

00:23:36.080 --> 00:23:36.320
 say

00:23:36.320 --> 00:23:36.480
 that

00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:36.620
 you're

00:23:36.620 --> 00:23:36.799
 out

00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:36.900
 of

00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:37.019
 your

00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:37.440
 minds

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:38.720
 if

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:39.019
 all

00:23:39.019 --> 00:23:39.180
 of

00:23:39.180 --> 00:23:39.460
 us

00:23:39.460 --> 00:23:39.820
 right

00:23:39.820 --> 00:23:39.940
 at

00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:40.100
 this

00:23:40.100 --> 00:23:40.420
 moment

00:23:40.420 --> 00:23:41.460
 started

00:23:41.460 --> 00:23:41.779
 speaking

00:23:41.779 --> 00:23:41.980
 in

00:23:41.980 --> 00:23:42.279
 tongues

00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:43.380
 and

00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:43.620
 someone

00:23:43.620 --> 00:23:43.799
 who

00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:43.900
 had

00:23:43.900 --> 00:23:44.120
 never

00:23:44.120 --> 00:23:44.320
 heard

00:23:44.320 --> 00:23:44.460
 of

00:23:44.460 --> 00:23:44.680
 Jesus

00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:45.019
 before

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:45.400
 walked

00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:47.500
 and

00:23:47.500 --> 00:23:47.640
 they

00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:47.860
 saw

00:23:47.860 --> 00:23:48.019
 what

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.140
 was

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:48.320
 going

00:23:48.320 --> 00:23:48.500
 on

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:48.620
 in

00:23:48.620 --> 00:23:48.840
 here

00:23:48.840 --> 00:23:49.120
 they

00:23:49.120 --> 00:23:49.220
 would

00:23:49.220 --> 00:23:49.320
 be

00:23:49.320 --> 00:23:49.600
 like

00:23:49.600 --> 00:23:50.140
 this

00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:50.279
 is

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:50.440
 a

00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:50.799
 crazy

00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:51.340
 place

00:23:51.340 --> 00:23:52.340
 I

00:23:52.340 --> 00:23:52.580
 need

00:23:52.580 --> 00:23:52.779
 to

00:23:52.779 --> 00:23:53.240
 leave

00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:53.640
 before

00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:53.920
 I

00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:54.240
 become

00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:54.759
 crazy

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:54.980
 like

00:23:54.980 --> 00:23:55.160
 the

00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:55.400
 rest

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:55.539
 of

00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:55.779
 them

00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:56.940
 and

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:57.180
 even

00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:57.400
 though

00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:57.600
 they

00:23:57.600 --> 00:23:57.740
 had

00:23:57.740 --> 00:23:58.100
 seen

00:23:58.100 --> 00:23:58.460
 God

00:23:58.460 --> 00:23:58.779
 working

00:23:58.779 --> 00:23:59.400
 powerfully

00:23:59.400 --> 00:23:59.580
 in

00:23:59.580 --> 00:23:59.680
 and

00:23:59.680 --> 00:23:59.880
 among

00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:00.100
 us

00:24:00.100 --> 00:24:00.279
 they

00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:00.620
 wouldn't

00:24:00.620 --> 00:24:00.840
 know

00:24:00.840 --> 00:24:01.039
 that

00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:01.259
 that's

00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:01.380
 what

00:24:01.380 --> 00:24:01.480
 they

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:01.600
 were

00:24:01.600 --> 00:24:01.940
 seeing

00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:02.799
 they

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:02.980
 would

00:24:02.980 --> 00:24:03.220
 think

00:24:03.220 --> 00:24:03.360
 that

00:24:03.360 --> 00:24:03.460
 they

00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:03.600
 were

00:24:03.600 --> 00:24:03.960
 seeing

00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:04.620
 insanity

00:24:04.620 --> 00:24:05.840
 and

00:24:05.840 --> 00:24:06.400
 society

00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:07.380
 has

00:24:07.380 --> 00:24:07.759
 special

00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:08.160
 places

00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:08.480
 for

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:08.840
 insane

00:24:08.840 --> 00:24:09.240
 people

00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:09.720
 that

00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:09.840
 are

00:24:09.840 --> 00:24:10.160
 places

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:10.440
 that

00:24:16.940 --> 00:24:17.299
 salt

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:17.600
 and

 light

00:24:17.940 --> 00:24:18.640

 get

00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:21.160
 together

00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:23.340
 way

00:24:23.340 --> 00:24:23.500
 that

00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:23.640
 it

00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:23.940
 makes

 get

00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:28.880
 together

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:29.140
 if

00:24:29.140 --> 00:24:29.380
 all

00:24:29.380 --> 00:24:29.539
 we're

00:24:29.539 --> 00:24:29.799
 doing

00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:29.980
 is

 Christian

00:24:34.320 --> 00:24:34.660
 walks

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:35.000
 in

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.440
 I'm

00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:37.680
 out of

00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:37.860
 here

00:24:37.860 --> 00:24:38.100
 and

00:24:38.100 --> 00:24:38.279
 even

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:38.460
 though

00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:38.700
 they've

00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:39.080
 seen

00:24:39.080 --> 00:24:39.460
 God's

00:24:39.460 --> 00:24:39.820
 powerful

00:24:39.820 --> 00:24:40.180
 work

00:24:40.180 --> 00:24:40.660
 it's

00:24:40.660 --> 00:24:40.820
 a

00:24:40.820 --> 00:24:41.100
 sign

00:24:41.100 --> 00:24:41.299
 that

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:41.660
 points

00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:42.160
 towards

00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:42.880
 judgment

00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:43.860
 not

00:24:43.860 --> 00:24:44.340
 towards

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:48.539
 there's

00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:48.799
 something

00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:49.140
 else

00:24:49.140 --> 00:24:49.759
 interesting

00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:50.019
 in what

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.360
 Paul's

00:24:50.360 --> 00:24:50.580
 saying

00:24:50.580 --> 00:24:50.820
 here

00:24:50.820 --> 00:24:51.039
 though

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:51.440
 and

00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:51.680
 that's

00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:51.799
 the

00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:52.120
 fact

00:24:52.120 --> 00:24:52.660
 that

00:24:52.660 --> 00:24:52.900
 he

00:24:52.900 --> 00:24:53.600
 expects

00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:54.279
 non

00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:54.700
 Christians

00:24:54.700 --> 00:24:55.400

 be

00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:56.299
 present

00:24:56.299 --> 00:24:56.799
 when

00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:57.640
 gathered

00:24:57.640 --> 00:24:58.100
 together

00:24:58.100 --> 00:25:00.779
 it's

00:25:00.779 --> 00:25:01.000
 something

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:01.320
 that

00:25:01.320 --> 00:25:02.140
 at least

00:25:02.140 --> 00:25:02.340
 on

 staff

00:25:02.700 --> 00:25:03.080
 we try

00:25:03.080 --> 00:25:03.320
 to be

00:25:03.320 --> 00:25:03.600
 aware

00:25:03.600 --> 00:25:03.799
 of

00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:03.940
 here

00:25:03.940 --> 00:25:04.059
 at

00:25:04.059 --> 00:25:04.400
 Watermark

00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:04.620
 that

00:25:04.620 --> 00:25:04.900
 every

00:25:04.900 --> 00:25:05.259
 time

00:25:05.259 --> 00:25:05.440
 we

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:05.620
 get

00:25:05.620 --> 00:25:05.940
 together

00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:06.200
 on

00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:06.340
 a

00:25:06.340 --> 00:25:06.539
 Sunday

00:25:06.539 --> 00:25:06.860
 morning

00:25:06.860 --> 00:25:07.380
 there

00:25:07.380 --> 00:25:07.559
 are

00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:07.820
 non

00:25:07.820 --> 00:25:08.120
 Christians

00:25:08.120 --> 00:25:08.400
 in

00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:08.539
 our

00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:08.880
 presence

00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:10.259
 like

00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:10.539
 right

00:25:10.539 --> 00:25:10.720
 now

00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:10.920
 at

00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:11.100
 this

00:25:11.100 --> 00:25:11.380
 moment

00:25:11.380 --> 00:25:12.279
 there

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:12.480
 are

00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:12.960
 multiple

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:13.240
 non

00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:13.519
 Christians

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:13.880
 in

00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:14.080
 this

00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:14.320
 room

00:25:16.940 --> 00:25:18.220
 is

00:25:18.220 --> 00:25:19.160
 pretty

00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:19.539
 obvious

00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:19.779
 to

00:25:19.779 --> 00:25:19.980
 you

00:25:19.980 --> 00:25:20.440
 but

00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:20.640
 I'm

00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:20.900
 guessing

00:25:20.900 --> 00:25:21.140
 for

00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:21.420
 a lot

00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:21.539
 of

00:25:21.539 --> 00:25:21.740
 people

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:21.900
 in

00:25:21.900 --> 00:25:22.080
 this

00:25:22.080 --> 00:25:22.299
 room

00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:22.519
 it's

00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:22.720
 something

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:22.880
 that

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:22.980
 we

00:25:22.980 --> 00:25:23.279
 don't

00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:23.480
 really

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:23.700
 think

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:23.920
 about

00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:24.120
 that

00:25:24.120 --> 00:25:24.480
 much

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.019
 and

00:25:26.019 --> 00:25:26.279
 Paul

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:26.480
 is

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:26.720
 saying

00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:26.880
 that

00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:27.000
 if

00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:27.120
 you

00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:27.259
 are

00:25:27.259 --> 00:25:27.400
 a

00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:27.720
 Christian

00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:27.980
 when

00:25:27.980 --> 00:25:28.180
 you

00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:28.620
 come

00:25:28.620 --> 00:25:29.140
 together

00:25:29.140 --> 00:25:29.920
 as

00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:30.120
 the

00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:30.519
 church

00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:31.460
 that

00:25:31.460 --> 00:25:31.740
 our

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:32.400
 interaction

00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:32.820
 with

00:25:32.820 --> 00:25:33.039
 one

00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:33.440
 another

00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:34.000
 within

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:34.259
 the

00:25:34.259 --> 00:25:34.640
 church

00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:35.740
 is

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:36.059
 something

00:25:36.059 --> 00:25:36.519
 that

00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:36.660
 will

00:25:36.660 --> 00:25:36.960
 point

00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:37.100
 the

00:25:37.100 --> 00:25:37.299
 non

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:37.660
 Christians

00:25:37.660 --> 00:25:38.039
 among

00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:38.279
 us

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:38.539
 either

00:25:38.539 --> 00:25:39.059
 towards

00:25:39.059 --> 00:25:39.480
 Christ

00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:40.180
 or

00:25:40.180 --> 00:25:40.620
 away

00:25:40.620 --> 00:25:40.860
 from

00:25:40.860 --> 00:25:41.320
 Christ

00:25:41.320 --> 00:25:43.160
 but

00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:43.380
 God

00:25:43.380 --> 00:25:43.740
 wants

00:25:43.740 --> 00:25:43.860
 it

00:25:43.859 --> 00:25:43.979
 to

00:25:43.979 --> 00:25:44.139
 be

00:25:44.139 --> 00:25:44.439
 something

00:25:44.439 --> 00:25:44.959
 that

00:25:44.959 --> 00:25:45.259
 points

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:45.539
 them

00:25:45.539 --> 00:25:46.339
 towards

00:25:46.339 --> 00:25:47.059
 Christ

00:25:47.059 --> 00:25:48.459
 there

00:25:48.459 --> 00:25:49.099
 have

00:25:49.099 --> 00:25:49.219
 been

00:25:49.219 --> 00:25:49.459
 many

00:25:49.459 --> 00:25:49.859
 times

00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:50.019
 where

00:25:50.019 --> 00:25:50.179
 I've

00:25:50.179 --> 00:25:50.439
 been

00:25:50.439 --> 00:25:51.000
 in

00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:51.319
 churches

00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:51.559
 or

00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:51.899
 community

00:25:51.899 --> 00:25:52.199
 groups

00:25:52.199 --> 00:25:52.359
 and

00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:52.559
 heard

00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:52.859
 someone

00:25:52.859 --> 00:25:53.119
 say

00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:53.599
 something

00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:54.259
 and

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:54.479
 just

00:25:54.479 --> 00:25:55.079
 cringe

00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:55.379
 because

00:25:55.379 --> 00:25:55.659
 I was

00:25:55.659 --> 00:25:57.079
 so

00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:57.519
 thankful

00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:57.879
 that

00:25:57.879 --> 00:25:58.000
 I

00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.399
 don't

00:25:58.399 --> 00:25:58.599
 have

00:25:58.599 --> 00:25:58.679
 a

00:25:58.679 --> 00:25:58.839
 non

00:25:58.839 --> 00:25:59.079
 Christian

00:25:59.079 --> 00:25:59.359
 friend

00:25:59.359 --> 00:25:59.539

00:25:59.719 --> 00:25:59.959
 now

00:25:59.959 --> 00:26:00.599
 and

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:00.899
 I

00:26:00.899 --> 00:26:01.839
 hope

00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:02.659
 that

00:26:02.659 --> 00:26:03.039
 everyone

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:03.479
 here

00:26:03.479 --> 00:26:03.679
 is

00:26:03.679 --> 00:26:04.059
 Christians

00:26:04.059 --> 00:26:04.399
 because

00:26:04.399 --> 00:26:05.299
 if

00:26:05.299 --> 00:26:05.479
 I

00:26:05.479 --> 00:26:05.639
 was

00:26:05.639 --> 00:26:05.740
 a

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:05.899
 non

00:26:05.899 --> 00:26:06.179
 Christian

00:26:06.179 --> 00:26:06.359
 and

00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:06.419
 I

00:26:06.419 --> 00:26:06.599
 heard

00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:06.859
 that

00:26:06.859 --> 00:26:07.819
 I

00:26:07.819 --> 00:26:07.979
 would

00:26:07.979 --> 00:26:08.219
 not

00:26:08.219 --> 00:26:08.639
 be

00:26:08.639 --> 00:26:09.359
 feeling

00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:09.619
 very

00:26:09.619 --> 00:26:09.819
 good

00:26:09.819 --> 00:26:10.019
 about

00:26:10.019 --> 00:26:10.259
 coming

00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:10.539
 back

00:26:13.859 --> 00:26:18.039
 don't

00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:19.199
 get me

00:26:19.199 --> 00:26:19.419
 wrong

00:26:19.419 --> 00:26:19.619
 the

00:26:19.619 --> 00:26:20.000
 gospel

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:20.500
 itself

00:26:20.500 --> 00:26:20.699
 the

00:26:20.699 --> 00:26:21.000
 message

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.159
 of

00:26:21.159 --> 00:26:21.259
 the

00:26:21.259 --> 00:26:21.539
 gospel

00:26:21.539 --> 00:26:21.740
 that

00:26:21.740 --> 00:26:21.859
 we

00:26:21.859 --> 00:26:22.000
 are

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:22.299
 messed

00:26:22.299 --> 00:26:22.479
 up

00:26:22.479 --> 00:26:22.759
 people

00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:22.979
 who

00:26:22.979 --> 00:26:23.299
 need

00:26:23.299 --> 00:26:23.799
 rescuing

00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:24.000
 and

00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:24.399
 salvation

00:26:24.399 --> 00:26:24.699
 from

00:26:24.699 --> 00:26:25.039
 God

00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:25.699
 in

00:26:25.699 --> 00:26:26.139
 itself

00:26:26.139 --> 00:26:26.479
 is

00:26:26.479 --> 00:26:26.899
 offensive

00:26:26.899 --> 00:26:28.479
 but

00:26:28.479 --> 00:26:28.859
 also

00:26:28.859 --> 00:26:29.379
 Christians

00:26:29.379 --> 00:26:29.699
 a lot

00:26:29.699 --> 00:26:29.799
 of

00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:30.079
 times

00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:30.279
 have

00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:30.779
 a

00:26:30.779 --> 00:26:31.119
 tendency

00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:31.339
 to

00:26:31.339 --> 00:26:31.459
 be

00:26:31.459 --> 00:26:31.759
 offensive

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.240
 ourselves

00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:32.619
 and

00:26:32.619 --> 00:26:33.699
 add

00:26:33.699 --> 00:26:33.859
 on

00:26:33.859 --> 00:26:34.139
 top

00:26:34.139 --> 00:26:34.279
 of

00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:34.500
 that

00:26:34.500 --> 00:26:35.199
 I'm

00:26:35.199 --> 00:26:35.459
 not

00:26:35.459 --> 00:26:35.719
 saying

00:26:35.719 --> 00:26:35.859
 we

00:26:35.859 --> 00:26:36.039
 should

00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:36.259
 water

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:36.559
 down

00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:36.740
 the

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:36.979
 message

00:26:36.979 --> 00:26:37.119
 of

00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:37.219
 the

00:26:37.219 --> 00:26:37.539
 gospel

00:26:37.539 --> 00:26:38.319
 but

00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:38.459
 I'm

00:26:38.459 --> 00:26:38.759
 saying

00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:38.959
 that

00:26:38.959 --> 00:26:39.159
 when

00:26:39.159 --> 00:26:39.319
 we

00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:39.479
 get

00:26:39.479 --> 00:26:39.779
 together

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:39.979
 we

00:26:39.979 --> 00:26:40.179
 should

00:26:40.179 --> 00:26:40.579
 present

00:26:40.579 --> 00:26:40.879
 it

00:26:40.879 --> 00:26:41.259
 and

00:26:43.859 --> 00:26:48.539
 we

00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:48.579
 love

00:26:48.579 --> 00:26:48.799
 you

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.159

00:26:49.159 --> 00:26:49.299
 we

00:26:49.299 --> 00:26:49.579
 care

00:26:49.579 --> 00:26:49.819
 about

00:26:49.819 --> 00:26:50.079
 you

00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:50.479
 and

00:26:50.479 --> 00:26:50.639
 we

00:26:50.639 --> 00:26:50.939
 want

00:26:50.939 --> 00:26:51.299
 you

00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:52.039
 to

00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:52.459
 become

00:26:52.459 --> 00:26:52.679
 a

00:26:52.679 --> 00:26:52.859
 part

00:26:52.859 --> 00:26:52.939
 of

00:26:52.939 --> 00:26:53.059
 our

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:53.339
 family

00:26:53.339 --> 00:26:53.559
 and

00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:53.740
 we

00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:54.359
 understand

00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:54.959
 what

00:26:54.959 --> 00:26:55.159
 it's

00:26:55.159 --> 00:26:55.439
 like

00:26:55.439 --> 00:26:55.879
 to

00:26:55.879 --> 00:26:56.179
 not

00:26:56.179 --> 00:26:56.359
 be

00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:56.500
 a

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:56.819
 Christian

00:26:56.819 --> 00:26:58.799
 and

00:26:58.799 --> 00:26:59.179
 so

00:26:59.179 --> 00:27:00.000
 you

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:00.199
 know

00:27:00.199 --> 00:27:01.359
 the

00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:02.599
 church

00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:04.219
 when

00:27:04.219 --> 00:27:04.359
 we

00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:04.500
 get

00:27:04.500 --> 00:27:04.799
 together

00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:05.079
 like

00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:05.199
 I

00:27:05.199 --> 00:27:05.459
 said

00:27:05.459 --> 00:27:06.119
 point

00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:06.379
 people

00:27:06.379 --> 00:27:06.899
 towards

00:27:06.899 --> 00:27:07.199
 God

00:27:07.199 --> 00:27:07.539
 or

00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:07.899
 away

00:27:07.899 --> 00:27:08.319
 from

00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:08.639
 God

00:27:08.639 --> 00:27:09.919
 and

00:27:09.919 --> 00:27:10.159
 Paul

00:27:10.159 --> 00:27:10.419
 says

00:27:10.419 --> 00:27:10.579
 the

00:27:10.579 --> 00:27:10.819
 reason

00:27:10.819 --> 00:27:11.019
 that

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:11.500
 prophecy

00:27:11.500 --> 00:27:12.639
 is

00:27:12.639 --> 00:27:12.879
 so

00:27:12.879 --> 00:27:13.319
 powerful

00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:13.619
 within

00:27:13.619 --> 00:27:13.819
 the

00:27:13.819 --> 00:27:14.199
 church

00:27:14.199 --> 00:27:15.479
 is

00:27:15.479 --> 00:27:15.839
 because

00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:16.099
 if

00:27:16.099 --> 00:27:16.219
 a

00:27:16.219 --> 00:27:16.439
 non

00:27:16.439 --> 00:27:16.759
 Christian

00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:17.159
 comes

00:27:17.159 --> 00:27:17.399
 in

00:27:17.399 --> 00:27:17.619
 and

00:27:17.619 --> 00:27:17.799
 they

00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:18.039
 hear

00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:18.219
 the

00:27:18.219 --> 00:27:18.599
 church

00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:20.199
 speaking

00:27:20.199 --> 00:27:20.379
 in

00:27:20.379 --> 00:27:20.699
 tongues

00:27:20.699 --> 00:27:21.419
 they're

00:27:21.419 --> 00:27:21.559
 out

00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:21.659
 of

00:27:21.659 --> 00:27:21.819
 here

00:27:21.819 --> 00:27:22.179
 this

00:27:22.179 --> 00:27:22.539
 crazy

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:22.859
 people

00:27:22.859 --> 00:27:23.839
 but

00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:23.939
 if

00:27:23.939 --> 00:27:24.059
 they

00:27:24.059 --> 00:27:24.299
 hear

00:27:24.299 --> 00:27:24.479
 us

00:27:24.479 --> 00:27:25.159
 prophesying

00:27:25.159 --> 00:27:25.319
 to

00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:25.479
 one

00:27:25.479 --> 00:27:25.799
 another

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:27.219
 then

00:27:27.219 --> 00:27:27.399
 they

00:27:27.399 --> 00:27:27.659
 hear

00:27:27.659 --> 00:27:28.000
 us

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:28.639
 sharing

00:27:28.639 --> 00:27:28.959
 the

00:27:28.959 --> 00:27:29.319
 message

00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:29.579
 of

00:27:29.579 --> 00:27:30.039
 salvation

00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:30.879
 with

00:27:30.879 --> 00:27:31.179
 one

00:27:31.179 --> 00:27:31.479
 another

00:27:31.479 --> 00:27:32.759
 they

00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:33.039
 hear

00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:33.379
 us

00:27:33.379 --> 00:27:34.500
 calling

00:27:34.500 --> 00:27:34.699
 out

00:27:34.699 --> 00:27:34.899
 sin

00:27:34.899 --> 00:27:35.039
 in

00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:35.219
 each

00:27:35.219 --> 00:27:35.500
 other's

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:35.839
 lives

00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:36.819
 they

00:27:36.819 --> 00:27:37.099
 hear

00:27:37.099 --> 00:27:37.299
 us

00:27:37.299 --> 00:27:37.799
 reminding

00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:38.039
 one

00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:38.299
 another

00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:38.500
 of

00:27:38.500 --> 00:27:38.639
 the

00:27:38.639 --> 00:27:38.939
 fact

00:27:38.939 --> 00:27:39.379
 that

00:27:39.379 --> 00:27:39.759
 God

00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.479
 forgives

00:27:40.479 --> 00:27:41.239
 our

00:27:41.239 --> 00:27:41.699
 sins

00:27:41.699 --> 00:27:42.679
 and

00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:44.880
 the

00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.180
 fact that

00:27:48.180 --> 00:27:48.580
 we have

00:27:48.580 --> 00:27:49.080
 messed up

00:27:49.080 --> 00:27:49.539
 again

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:50.100
 and again

00:27:50.100 --> 00:27:50.680
 and again

00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:51.259
 that we

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:51.620
 have a

00:27:51.620 --> 00:27:51.900
 God

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:52.360
 who

00:27:52.360 --> 00:27:52.740
 loves

00:27:52.740 --> 00:27:53.200
 us

00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:56.140
 and it

00:27:56.140 --> 00:27:56.480
 shows

00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:56.840
 them

00:27:56.840 --> 00:27:57.680
 something

00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:58.220
 beautiful

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:59.120
 and

00:27:59.120 --> 00:27:59.640
 different

00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:00.200
 about

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:00.420
 the

00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:00.779
 church

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:02.279
 and it

00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:02.480
 shows

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:02.620
 them

00:28:02.620 --> 00:28:02.940
 something

00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:03.720
 that

00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:04.120
 we

00:28:04.120 --> 00:28:04.900
 have

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:05.480
 that

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:06.019
 hopefully

00:28:06.019 --> 00:28:07.400
 they

00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:07.779
 want

00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:09.900
 and it

00:28:09.900 --> 00:28:10.360
 points them

00:28:10.360 --> 00:28:10.680
 towards

00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:11.059
 Christ

00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:11.380
 you know

00:28:11.380 --> 00:28:11.539
 the

00:28:11.539 --> 00:28:12.340
 real

00:28:12.340 --> 00:28:13.340
 tension

00:28:13.340 --> 00:28:13.620
 that

00:28:13.620 --> 00:28:14.059
 Paul is

00:28:14.059 --> 00:28:14.440
 talking

00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:14.779
 about

00:28:14.779 --> 00:28:15.220
 in this

00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:15.680
 passage

00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:16.539
 on the

00:28:16.539 --> 00:28:16.799
 surface

00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:17.220
 it looks

00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:17.460
 like

00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:17.920
 prophecy

00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:18.299
 versus

00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:18.720
 tongues

00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:19.080
 but in

00:28:19.080 --> 00:28:19.460
 reality

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:19.779
 it's

00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:20.000
 something

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.299
 deeper

00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:20.460
 than

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:20.700
 that

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:22.720
 it's

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.160
 love

00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:23.720
 for one

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.000
 another

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:24.580
 and building

00:28:24.580 --> 00:28:24.799
 one

00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:25.059
 another

00:28:25.059 --> 00:28:25.400
 up

00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:27.000
 versus

00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:27.440
 building

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:27.860
 ourselves

00:28:27.860 --> 00:28:28.160
 up

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:29.720
 and he's

00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:30.039
 saying

00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:30.900
 the world

00:28:30.900 --> 00:28:31.299
 is all

00:28:31.299 --> 00:28:31.720
 about

00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:32.319
 building

00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:32.740
 yourself

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:33.059
 up

00:28:33.059 --> 00:28:35.019
 if we

00:28:35.019 --> 00:28:35.200
 get

00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:35.539
 together

00:28:35.539 --> 00:28:36.100
 and all

00:28:36.100 --> 00:28:36.340
 we're

00:28:36.340 --> 00:28:36.660
 focused

00:28:36.660 --> 00:28:37.000
 on

00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:37.299
 is

00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:37.660
 building

00:28:37.660 --> 00:28:38.140
 ourselves

00:28:38.140 --> 00:28:38.500
 up

00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:39.559
 and any

00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:40.120
 non-Christian

00:28:40.120 --> 00:28:40.640
 walks in

00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:40.880
 here

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:41.440
 they're

00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:41.600
 going to

00:28:41.600 --> 00:28:41.759
 see

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:42.039
 nothing

00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:42.380
 different

00:28:42.380 --> 00:28:42.660
 about

00:28:42.660 --> 00:28:42.840
 us

00:28:42.840 --> 00:28:43.140
 nothing

00:28:43.140 --> 00:28:43.519
 unique

00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:43.759
 about

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:43.940
 us

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:44.259
 nothing

00:28:44.259 --> 00:28:44.500
 that

00:28:44.500 --> 00:28:44.740
 sets

00:28:44.740 --> 00:28:44.900
 us

00:28:44.900 --> 00:28:45.200
 apart

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.620
 and

00:28:45.620 --> 00:28:45.960
 nothing

00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:46.759
 that

00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:47.120
 points

00:28:47.120 --> 00:28:47.460
 them

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:48.039
 towards

00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:48.519
 God

00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:50.980
 but if

00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:51.279
 we get

00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:51.559
 together

00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:52.099
 and we

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:52.859
 love

00:28:52.859 --> 00:28:53.139
 one

00:28:53.139 --> 00:28:53.400
 another

00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:53.940
 and we

00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:54.480
 invest

00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:55.000
 in

00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:55.299
 building

00:28:55.299 --> 00:28:55.660
 one

00:28:55.660 --> 00:28:55.940
 another

00:28:55.940 --> 00:28:56.339
 up

00:28:56.339 --> 00:28:59.079
 and a

00:28:59.079 --> 00:28:59.599
 non-Christian

00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:00.139
 walks in

00:29:00.139 --> 00:29:00.319
 here

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:00.619
 they're

00:29:00.619 --> 00:29:00.879
 going to

00:29:00.879 --> 00:29:01.139
 see

00:29:01.139 --> 00:29:01.680
 something

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:02.519
 different

00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:03.039
 and

00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:03.460
 something

00:29:03.460 --> 00:29:04.259
 beautiful

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:05.619
 something

00:29:05.619 --> 00:29:06.559
 that they

00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:06.920
 want

00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:07.420
 something

00:29:07.420 --> 00:29:08.099
 that makes

00:29:08.099 --> 00:29:08.700
 them have

00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:09.200
 to say

00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:09.879
 God

00:29:09.879 --> 00:29:10.559
 is here

00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:11.079
 among

00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:11.579
 these

00:29:11.579 --> 00:29:11.980
 people

00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:13.579
 and

00:29:13.579 --> 00:29:13.900
 something

00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:16.059
 that

00:29:16.059 --> 00:29:16.480
 makes

00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:17.539
 Christianity

00:29:17.539 --> 00:29:18.220
 and the

00:29:18.220 --> 00:29:18.539
 idea

00:29:18.539 --> 00:29:18.819
 of a

00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:19.220
 relationship

00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:19.460
 with

00:29:19.460 --> 00:29:19.700
 God

00:29:19.700 --> 00:29:20.220
 beautiful

00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:20.899
 so that

00:29:20.899 --> 00:29:21.059
 they'll

00:29:21.059 --> 00:29:21.339
 actually

00:29:21.339 --> 00:29:21.720
 listen

00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:22.059
 when they

00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:22.319
 hear

00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:22.619
 the

00:29:22.619 --> 00:29:22.960
 gospel

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.139
 and so

00:29:26.139 --> 00:29:26.700
 the way

00:29:26.700 --> 00:29:27.539
 that we

00:29:27.539 --> 00:29:28.039
 interact

00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:28.379
 with one

00:29:28.379 --> 00:29:28.619
 another

00:29:28.619 --> 00:29:29.180
 generally

00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:29.500
 within

00:29:29.500 --> 00:29:29.859
 the church

00:29:29.859 --> 00:29:30.359
 not just

00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:30.779
 in terms

00:29:30.779 --> 00:29:31.299
 of spiritual

00:29:31.299 --> 00:29:31.619
 gifts

00:29:31.619 --> 00:29:32.180
 of tongues

00:29:32.180 --> 00:29:32.779
 and prophecy

00:29:32.779 --> 00:29:34.759
 but just

00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:35.379
 general

00:29:35.379 --> 00:29:35.980
 life

00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:37.980
 is vitally

00:29:37.980 --> 00:29:38.680
 important

00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.240
 like if

00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:41.539
 we

00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:42.879
 come to

00:29:42.879 --> 00:29:43.259
 church

00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:43.599
 and we

00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:43.779
 say

00:29:43.779 --> 00:29:44.319
 I'm not

00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:44.579
 really

00:29:44.579 --> 00:29:45.159
 interested

00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:46.660
 in

00:29:46.660 --> 00:29:47.440
 singing

00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:47.800
 along

00:29:47.800 --> 00:29:47.960
 with

00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:48.060
 the

00:29:48.060 --> 00:29:48.240
 rest

00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:48.360
 of

00:29:48.360 --> 00:29:48.480
 the

00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:48.800
 church

00:29:48.800 --> 00:29:51.240
 and I

00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:51.440
 don't

00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:51.660
 really

00:29:51.660 --> 00:29:51.920
 want to

00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:52.200
 have to

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:52.580
 talk to

00:29:52.580 --> 00:29:52.800
 people

00:29:52.800 --> 00:29:53.140
 after

00:29:53.140 --> 00:29:53.660
 church

00:29:53.660 --> 00:29:56.779
 so I'm

00:29:56.779 --> 00:29:57.160
 going to

00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:57.580
 show up

00:29:57.580 --> 00:29:58.259

 right as

00:29:59.620 --> 00:29:59.940
 the sermon

00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:00.380
 starts

00:30:00.380 --> 00:30:01.200
 I'm going to

00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:01.519

00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:01.940

00:30:01.940 --> 00:30:02.600
 and then I'm

00:30:02.600 --> 00:30:02.779
 going to

00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:03.320

00:30:03.320 --> 00:30:03.700

00:30:03.700 --> 00:30:04.060
 prayer

00:30:04.060 --> 00:30:05.960
 so that I

00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:06.300
 can be

00:30:06.300 --> 00:30:06.779

00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:06.580
 something different

 and something beautiful

00:32:07.560 --> 00:32:08.400
 about that when we

00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:09.600
 get together and we

00:32:09.600 --> 00:32:11.100
 build one another up

00:32:11.100 --> 00:32:13.019
 as a church something

00:32:13.019 --> 00:32:14.400
 that the world around

00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:15.980
 us can't quite wrap

00:32:15.980 --> 00:32:16.880
 their minds around

00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:19.519
 but something that's

00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.360
 good for a generous

00:32:22.360 --> 00:32:23.780
 people who you know

00:32:23.780 --> 00:32:25.120
 sees needs within the

00:32:25.120 --> 00:32:25.620
 church and gives

00:32:25.620 --> 00:32:26.500
 financially towards

00:32:26.500 --> 00:32:28.759
 that you know why

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:29.340
 would you give your

00:32:29.340 --> 00:32:29.940
 money if you're not

00:32:29.940 --> 00:32:30.500
 getting your name

00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:31.180
 written on a building

00:32:31.180 --> 00:32:32.140
 come on this is Hong

00:32:32.140 --> 00:32:34.080
 Kong there's something

00:32:34.080 --> 00:32:34.920
 different about that

00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:36.800
 something special about

00:32:36.800 --> 00:32:38.920
 that and as the world

00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.580
 sees us even interacting

00:32:41.580 --> 00:32:42.360
 with one another and

00:32:42.360 --> 00:32:43.440
 hanging out after church

00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:45.420
 drinking coffee and

00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:46.400
 talking to people from

00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:47.560
 totally different walks

00:32:47.560 --> 00:32:49.000
 of life totally different

00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:49.960
 backgrounds than us

00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.000
 there's something different

00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:53.620
 and something special

00:32:53.620 --> 00:32:55.900
 about that that makes the

00:32:55.900 --> 00:32:57.759
 gospel beautiful to a

00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:01.960
 watching world and Paul

00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:03.299
 wants us to be the type

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:04.160
 of church that is

00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:06.440
 different and special and

00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:07.779
 beautiful to a watching

00:33:07.779 --> 00:33:10.519
 world because he wants

00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:13.319
 everyone to have an

00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:14.380
 opportunity to hear the

00:33:14.380 --> 00:33:15.500
 gospel he wants everyone

00:33:15.500 --> 00:33:17.380
 to see the beauty of

00:33:17.380 --> 00:33:18.940
 Christ and knows that the

00:33:18.940 --> 00:33:20.340
 way that we interact with

00:33:20.340 --> 00:33:21.220
 each other within the

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:23.299
 church helps people to see

00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:26.180
 that or points them away

00:33:26.180 --> 00:33:27.779
 from even taking a glance

00:33:27.779 --> 00:33:30.119
 and so if you're a

00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:32.680
 Christian here today I

00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:33.460

 for you first how are you

00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:39.339
 showing God's love to

00:33:39.339 --> 00:33:40.599
 others within the church

00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:42.000
 or in your community by

00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.700

00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:03.700
 hooked up in serving within

00:34:03.700 --> 00:34:08.380
 the church if you're a

00:34:08.380 --> 00:34:12.019
 Christian here today how is

00:34:12.019 --> 00:34:14.680
 your interaction with others

00:34:14.680 --> 00:34:16.440
 within this church body

00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:19.559
 showing something different

00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:20.760
 and beautiful and

00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:22.900
 supernaturally loving to the

00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:26.659
 world or just showing them

00:34:26.659 --> 00:34:27.980
 another person just like

00:34:27.980 --> 00:34:31.359
 themselves like hypothetically

00:34:31.359 --> 00:34:33.179
 if we could videotape you

00:34:33.179 --> 00:34:34.119
 from the time that you

00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:36.420
 walked up the escalators or

00:34:36.420 --> 00:34:39.559
 down the hall today came in

00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:42.179
 here sat down saying listen to

00:34:42.179 --> 00:34:44.000
 the sermon get up believe to the

00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:48.179
 time that you walk away and we

00:34:48.179 --> 00:34:49.920
 played that for your co-workers to

00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:51.659
 watch or for your children to

00:34:51.659 --> 00:34:54.279
 watch would they say there's

00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:56.420
 something special about the way

00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:58.640
 that this person loves the

00:34:58.640 --> 00:34:59.600
 people around them in the

00:34:59.600 --> 00:35:02.900
 church there's something

00:35:02.900 --> 00:35:04.840
 different about the way they

00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:06.019
 interact with people in the way

00:35:06.019 --> 00:35:07.100
 that I would interact with

00:35:07.100 --> 00:35:10.420
 people something weird but

00:35:10.420 --> 00:35:11.620
 something that's kind of

00:35:11.620 --> 00:35:16.280
 beautiful or would it just be

00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:17.780
 like oh they're listening to a

00:35:17.780 --> 00:35:19.060
 talk I watch TED talks all the

00:35:19.060 --> 00:35:22.480
 time no big deal how does the way

00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.840
 that you interact with the others

00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:28.760
 within this church body show a

00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:30.800
 love for the gospel or a love for

00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:34.940
 yourself and if we took the rest of

00:35:34.940 --> 00:35:37.019
 the week too how does the way that

00:35:37.019 --> 00:35:38.559
 you live your life on a day-to-day

00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:40.360
 basis show that the gospel is

00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:43.659
 beautiful or show that you are just

00:35:43.659 --> 00:35:45.619
 living for yourself because Paul says

00:35:45.619 --> 00:35:48.480
 we need to be about the business of

00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:50.059
 building one another up and loving

00:35:50.059 --> 00:35:51.619
 one another and making the gospel

00:35:51.619 --> 00:35:56.860
 beautiful for watching outsiders and

00:35:56.860 --> 00:35:58.639
 if you're a non-christian here today

00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:03.259
 this message has stuff to say to you

00:36:03.259 --> 00:36:03.420
 too

00:36:03.420 --> 00:36:09.099
 you've been here you've seen God's

00:36:09.099 --> 00:36:11.380
 people interacting you've heard the

00:36:11.380 --> 00:36:16.579
 songs and the sermons if you've been

00:36:16.579 --> 00:36:20.380
 here and you've seen these things are

00:36:20.380 --> 00:36:22.579
 you at a point where you can say God

00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:28.920
 truly is among these people my hope and

00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:31.579
 my prayer is that you can and

00:36:32.319 --> 00:36:35.139
 obviously we are also messed up people

00:36:35.139 --> 00:36:38.340
 like if if the church always perfectly

00:36:38.340 --> 00:36:39.659
 showed God's love when we came

00:36:39.659 --> 00:36:41.360
 together this passage that we've been

00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:43.579
 talking about today wouldn't exist so

00:36:43.579 --> 00:36:46.559
 so we make mistakes we mess up and

00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:47.860
 we're not going to always get it

00:36:47.860 --> 00:36:49.619
 perfectly but my hope and prayer is

00:36:49.619 --> 00:36:51.619
 that if you are here today and you're

00:36:51.619 --> 00:36:53.739
 not a Christian you'd see something

00:36:53.739 --> 00:36:56.699
 different about our community you'd

00:36:56.699 --> 00:36:57.960
 see something different about the way

00:36:57.960 --> 00:36:59.380
 that we interact with one another and

00:36:59.380 --> 00:37:01.239
 love one another and that you would be

00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:04.559
 able to honestly say God is present in

00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:08.619
 this place and if you can't say that

00:37:08.619 --> 00:37:11.579
 then keep watching because hopefully you

00:37:11.579 --> 00:37:16.039
 will see it but what Paul is saying is

00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:18.619
 that if you have seen God's people and

00:37:18.619 --> 00:37:20.679
 you have heard God's truth and you have

00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:23.759
 a responsibility to respond properly to

00:37:23.759 --> 00:37:28.739
 that that God has us here today not

00:37:28.739 --> 00:37:30.960
 just to be entertained and have fun and

00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:33.159
 have a good time but that he has us here

00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:36.239
 today because he has a message for you of

00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:40.279
 an amazing salvation of the fact that he

00:37:40.279 --> 00:37:42.239
 created us and he loves us but we have

00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:44.299
 rebelled against him and although we

00:37:44.299 --> 00:37:46.319
 deserve judgment that he has offered us

00:37:46.319 --> 00:37:50.919
 salvation he's offered us a chance for

00:37:50.919 --> 00:37:56.500
 forgiveness and life and that hopefully the

00:37:56.500 --> 00:37:58.500
 the picture that you can see within this

00:37:58.500 --> 00:38:02.539
 body of something different is just a

00:38:02.539 --> 00:38:04.319
 glimpse of the way that he'll transform your

00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.280
 life if you trust in him for that

00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:10.100
 forgiveness and so if you're not a

00:38:10.100 --> 00:38:12.900
 Christian here today my challenge to you

00:38:12.900 --> 00:38:17.500
 is trust believe and if you have more

00:38:17.500 --> 00:38:19.440
 questions find us afterward and ask

00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:21.900
 because we would love to talk with you

00:38:21.900 --> 00:38:22.400
 about it

00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:28.039
 so tongues prophecy really it's all about

00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:29.260
 what we've been talking about the past

00:38:29.260 --> 00:38:32.019
 couple weeks love are we loving one

00:38:32.019 --> 00:38:35.480
 another or is our interaction just pointing

00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:39.079
 the world around us and ourselves back

00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:43.780
 towards ourselves let's pray father we

00:38:43.780 --> 00:38:46.639
 thank you for your love we thank you for

00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:48.920
 the gospel and for the way that you

00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:52.000
 transform lives we thank you that you

00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:54.420
 give gifts to the church to build us up

00:38:54.420 --> 00:38:58.599
 and we thank you that you have given us the

00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:01.239
 power to live different lives change lives

00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:05.299
 that that are able to show your love and

00:39:05.299 --> 00:39:07.519
 your power to the world around us and to

00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:10.579
 each other we pray that we'd be a people who

00:39:10.579 --> 00:39:13.259
 bring the message of salvation to one

00:39:13.259 --> 00:39:17.000
 another we'd be a people who are willing to

00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:19.480
 step in when those around us are weak and be

00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:22.900
 strong with them and for them that we'd be a

00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:25.500
 community that's known for being different in

00:39:25.500 --> 00:39:27.880
 a way that's a little bit weird but also

00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:31.780
 beautiful and good and that through us the

00:39:31.780 --> 00:39:34.780
 watching world would see your gospel and

00:39:34.780 --> 00:39:37.699
 believe it and be transformed in jesus name

00:39:37.699 --> 00:39:38.380
 amen
