00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.859
 Wow, that was good singing.

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:06.620
 Let me give you a little Bible lesson on good singing.

00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:08.320
! I mean that.

00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:11.320
 I mean, after all, what a pastor should do

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:11.359
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:39.600
 In other words, what we sing should be clearly connected to the glory of the word that God has given to his children.

00:00:42.579 --> 00:00:55.280
 Secondly, good singing is something that the Holy Spirit enables in a believer who is filled with the Spirit.

00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:57.120
 You all know that, don't you?

00:00:58.240 --> 00:00:59.320
 Right? Right?

00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:07.519
 One of the giveaways of not being filled with the Spirit is being a grumpy, unhappy, non-participating believer.

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:10.500
 Do you follow what I'm saying?

00:01:10.739 --> 00:01:11.480
 Everybody's with me?

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.659
 Everybody's saying, I get that memo, that's for me, right?

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:23.280
 I like the way you sing.

00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:24.359
 I do.

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:29.560
 I want people of the years from now to remember.

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.659
 That when they were here, they heard people sing.

00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:38.920
 Because the words are true.

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:43.840
 And because the Spirit of God works in believers' lives.

00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:46.879
 And we're thankful for that.

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.400
 Now, remember what I said.

00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:51.740
 Good singing is informed by Scripture.

00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:54.680
 So it goes without saying that that's where we're next.

00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:56.640
 Turn in your Bibles.

00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.439
 That's one of the most precious statements.

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.060
 Another one is, let's sing together.

00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:08.060
 But I want you to turn your Bibles to Romans chapter 4, verse 25.

00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.460
 Romans chapter 4, verse 25.

00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:22.819
 And as we get started this morning, I am going to ask that you join me quietly in prayer.

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:36.800
 And your prayers, I have confidence in, will be one of the things that the Spirit of God uses this morning to lift up the glory of Christ in our presence.

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.480
 I am responsible to preach.

00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:43.800
 You are responsible to pray.

00:02:44.260 --> 00:02:46.740
 And we will rely upon the Holy Spirit to do His work.

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:46.960
 Amen?

00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:48.640
 Let's pray.

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:59.280
 Father God, as we come this morning in prayer, our prayer is not a reflection of a habit or something that's woven into the order of service.

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.460
 It is the humble and thankful dependence that we have upon you.

00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:10.840
 And apart from you, we can expect nothing of worth or significance.

00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:23.819
 We are frail, mindful of the clear picture that Scripture gives to us of our flesh being something that is at best an earthen pot.

00:03:23.819 --> 00:03:31.759
 And yet you have chosen to give to us the joy of salvation and the indwelling Spirit.

00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:43.419
 And it is on Him that we rely this morning to take the words that you have given to us by inspiration and to allow those words to resonate in our heart

00:03:43.419 --> 00:03:53.739
 and make sense through the working of the Spirit of God that this morning the Lord Jesus Christ would be exalted and lifted up.

00:03:54.419 --> 00:04:01.599
 That those who are here that know the Lord Jesus would have their hearts warmed and their affections for Him stirred

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:10.840
 and their longing for the day that they will see Him face to face become something that is a growing characteristic of their life.

00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:18.000
 And those that are here who have allowed the troubles and cares of this life

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:24.879
 to interfere with their sweet communion with you as their God and Savior

00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:29.540
 would have this day be a day of rededication and recommitment.

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.800
 A renewal in their mind of the blessing of their salvation

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:41.159
 and a confidence in their eternal destiny and ambition to live with an eye on eternity.

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.480
 And those that are here that don't know Jesus

00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:50.060
 whose lives this morning are clouded

00:04:50.060 --> 00:04:54.980
 some with a pervasive sense of the hopelessness of life

00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:57.420
 others confused

00:04:57.420 --> 00:05:00.319
 profoundly frustrated

00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.319
 uncertain of what tomorrow may bring

00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:08.959
 that this morning first of all your Spirit would convict them

00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.480
 of the hopeless burden of sin

00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:18.240
 and then by your grace help them understand that Jesus died

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.160
 to pay the price for that sin

00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.000
 and rose again victoriously.

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.420
 We look forward

00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:29.780
 Holy Spirit

00:05:29.780 --> 00:05:31.600
 to what you do

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.740
 to uplift Jesus

00:05:33.740 --> 00:05:36.139
 and we ask it in His name.

00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:37.400
 Amen.

00:05:39.180 --> 00:05:41.079
 Well this morning the first part

00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:42.699
 of this morning's worship

00:05:42.699 --> 00:05:44.019
 was given over to

00:05:44.019 --> 00:05:45.400
 the reminder in

00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.359
 Romans chapter 4

00:05:47.359 --> 00:05:48.560
 of the fact that Jesus

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:49.879
 it tells us in the scripture

00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:52.379
 He was delivered up for our trespasses

00:05:52.379 --> 00:05:54.060
 and the reality from the Bible is this

00:05:54.060 --> 00:05:55.939
 is that Jesus died our death

00:05:55.939 --> 00:05:56.919
 He died my death

00:05:56.919 --> 00:05:57.879
 He died your death

00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.639
 and as a result of that

00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:00.659
 one of the things that

00:06:00.659 --> 00:06:01.959
 that I take pleasure

00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:03.699
 as a pastor in saying

00:06:03.699 --> 00:06:04.359
 at a funeral

00:06:04.359 --> 00:06:06.959
 is to those who are believers

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:08.719
 I say Jesus died your death

00:06:09.239 --> 00:06:11.439
 the one who trusts Christ

00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:13.060
 does not face death

00:06:13.060 --> 00:06:15.339
 the same way Jesus faced it

00:06:15.339 --> 00:06:17.980
 nor does that person face death

00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:20.259
 the way an unbeliever faces it

00:06:20.259 --> 00:06:22.199
 for the believer

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.839
 it says in the scripture

00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.459
 absent in the body

00:06:26.459 --> 00:06:26.840
 what?

00:06:27.459 --> 00:06:28.639
 present with the Lord

00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.959
 in fact the truth of the matter is

00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:31.720
 is one of the things

00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:32.920
 that is a little unnerving

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.620
 in my conversation with individuals

00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:36.800
 when I have the opportunity

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.840
 they'll say something like

00:06:38.840 --> 00:06:39.819
 today's a good day

00:06:39.819 --> 00:06:40.959
 and I say any better than this

00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:41.639
 and I'd be dead

00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.180
 and the normal takeaway from that

00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:45.439
 is I get people who look at me

00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.180
 and think I need to see a therapist

00:06:47.180 --> 00:06:48.279
 or at least I ought to be

00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:49.019
 on some medication

00:06:49.019 --> 00:06:50.060
 because something's wrong

00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:52.360
 and I say no, no, no

00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:53.560
 what I mean by that is

00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.039
 my last trip is up

00:06:55.039 --> 00:06:56.319
 that's a little more confusing

00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.279
 and I say the truth of the matter is

00:06:58.279 --> 00:06:59.459
 is when Tim Knoir dies

00:06:59.459 --> 00:07:00.459
 he's going to heaven

00:07:00.459 --> 00:07:03.319
 and it isn't any better than that

00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:04.079
 that's the truth

00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.939
 that's the truth

00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:08.479
 and the reason I have that confidence

00:07:08.479 --> 00:07:09.560
 and I can say that

00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:10.720
 without any hesitation

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.079
 is because of what this verse

00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:14.240
 announces to us

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.040
 and it presses together

00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:17.439
 the sweetness of the gospel

00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:18.019
 number one

00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:18.759
 it tells us there

00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.079
 Jesus died for us

00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:22.560
 he died in our place

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.959
 there's a second thing

00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:26.300
 that I want us to see this morning

00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:27.319
 and that is the fact

00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:28.019
 of the resurrection

00:07:28.019 --> 00:07:29.019
 I want you to look at this

00:07:29.019 --> 00:07:30.759
 and recognize there

00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.759
 at the end of chapter 4

00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.079
 the apostle says

00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.840
 and was raised for our justification

00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.339
 the passage that we're looking at here

00:07:40.339 --> 00:07:40.939
 presumes

00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:43.639
 on something that we must stop

00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:44.739
 and consider carefully

00:07:44.739 --> 00:07:46.739
 it's interesting

00:07:46.739 --> 00:07:48.919
 and I'm not going to do it this morning

00:07:48.919 --> 00:07:49.639
 because of time

00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.500
 but if you were to take the time

00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:52.659
 to kind of work through the Bible

00:07:52.659 --> 00:07:53.500
 you would find that

00:07:53.500 --> 00:07:55.579
 in many many places

00:07:55.579 --> 00:07:57.379
 the scripture makes it clear

00:07:57.379 --> 00:07:59.779
 that Christ Jesus rose from the dead

00:07:59.779 --> 00:08:01.899
 not only did he die for our sins

00:08:01.899 --> 00:08:03.000
 but he rose again

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.100
 and that's supremely important

00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:06.100
 and significant

00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:08.379
 not only does the Bible

00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:10.319
 make the fact of the resurrection clear

00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.899
 but the Bible also hinges everything

00:08:12.899 --> 00:08:14.939
 upon the reality of the resurrection

00:08:14.939 --> 00:08:17.680
 if Jesus did not rise from the dead

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.160
 then we are here playing a game

00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.060
 and our faith really has no substance

00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:24.300
 or basis whatsoever

00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:26.600
 it is the fact of the resurrection

00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.800
 that we celebrate this morning

00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.399
 that is the great underpinning

00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:33.460
 of our faith

00:08:33.460 --> 00:08:35.919
 and the reason that we have absolute confidence

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.139
 that when we leave this place

00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:40.279
 that we will spend eternity

00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:41.919
 in the presence of Christ

00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.060
 I want you to understand

00:08:44.060 --> 00:08:45.600
 just as we think about the fact

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:46.139
 of the resurrection

00:08:46.139 --> 00:08:48.480
 that Jesus was right up front

00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:49.960
 about the reality of the fact

00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:50.820
 he would rise again

00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:52.700
 just think with me just for a moment

00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:53.759
 you're there in Romans

00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:54.519
 keep your finger

00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.480
 but turn back if you will

00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:57.919
 to John chapter 2

00:08:57.919 --> 00:08:59.519
 John chapter 2

00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.139
 verse 18 and 19

00:09:02.139 --> 00:09:04.740
 in John chapter 2

00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:06.500
 Jesus has just finished

00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:07.719
 cleansing the temple

00:09:07.719 --> 00:09:09.379
 I believe that he did it

00:09:09.379 --> 00:09:11.139
 at the beginning of his ministry

00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:12.479
 and he did it at the end

00:09:12.479 --> 00:09:13.199
 of his ministry

00:09:13.199 --> 00:09:14.399
 here we have it

00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:15.439
 at the very beginning

00:09:15.439 --> 00:09:16.639
 of his public ministry

00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.579
 and as he cleans the temple

00:09:18.579 --> 00:09:20.899
 he gets rid of all the garbage

00:09:20.899 --> 00:09:22.480
 that was going on in the temple

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.500
 he has the Jews come to him

00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:25.360
 and say hey listen

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.220
 what sign do you give

00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:29.360
 what's the proof

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.720
 you have

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.120
 what right do you have

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:34.500
 for cleaning out the temple

00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:35.340
 look what he says there

00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:36.159
 in verse 19

00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:37.779
 destroy this temple

00:09:37.779 --> 00:09:39.360
 and in how many days

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.960
 in three days

00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.639
 I will raise it up

00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.120
 right from the very beginning

00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:47.680
 he made it undeniably clear

00:09:47.680 --> 00:09:49.200
 listen I am going to die

00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.000
 and I am going to rise again

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.159
 I am going to die

00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:53.480
 and I am going to rise again

00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:55.519
 and he let his disciples know

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.779
 over and over and over again

00:09:57.779 --> 00:09:59.740
 that yes he would die for sin

00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:01.639
 but yes he would rise again

00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:02.379
 and this morning

00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:04.139
 as we are together

00:10:04.139 --> 00:10:04.940
 as believers

00:10:04.940 --> 00:10:06.580
 and we celebrate the resurrection

00:10:06.580 --> 00:10:08.100
 what we're saying is

00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:09.539
 we know Jesus rose again

00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:11.560
 and we're looking at a passage

00:10:11.560 --> 00:10:12.899
 that just hammers this point

00:10:12.899 --> 00:10:13.960
 undeniably clear

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:15.440
 go back if you would then

00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.560
 to that passage in Romans chapter 4

00:10:17.560 --> 00:10:19.379
 and notice what it says

00:10:19.379 --> 00:10:20.360
 he was raised

00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:21.700
 he was raised

00:10:21.700 --> 00:10:23.120
 for our

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:26.180
 for our sin

00:10:26.180 --> 00:10:27.960
 and for our justification

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.320
 now think with me just a minute

00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:30.860
 about the fact of the resurrection

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:32.019
 not only did Jesus say

00:10:32.019 --> 00:10:32.720
 that it would happen

00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:34.399
 but it was also affirmed

00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:35.860
 by numerous witnesses

00:10:35.860 --> 00:10:38.759
 and it was never successfully challenged

00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:39.899
 by Jesus' enemies

00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:42.399
 if you are there in Romans

00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:43.960
 just turn ahead a little bit

00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.580
 to 1 Corinthians chapter 15

00:10:46.580 --> 00:10:49.180
 and in 1 Corinthians chapter 15

00:10:49.180 --> 00:10:50.720
 as the apostle is writing

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.840
 regarding the matter of the resurrection

00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:53.980
 in broader terms

00:10:53.980 --> 00:10:55.379
 he makes reference

00:10:55.379 --> 00:10:56.700
 to the reality

00:10:56.700 --> 00:10:57.940
 of the fact

00:10:57.940 --> 00:11:00.200
 that when Jesus rose again

00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:01.820
 he was seen

00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:03.360
 by numerous people

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.180
 who could have denied it

00:11:05.180 --> 00:11:06.040
 if it wasn't true

00:11:06.040 --> 00:11:09.060
 there in verse 5

00:11:09.060 --> 00:11:10.139
 it says this

00:11:10.139 --> 00:11:12.320
 and he appeared to Cephas

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:13.180
 that's to Peter

00:11:13.180 --> 00:11:14.140
 then to the 12

00:11:14.139 --> 00:11:15.379
 then he appeared

00:11:15.379 --> 00:11:17.059
 to more than 500 brothers

00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:17.960
 at one time

00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:19.759
 most of whom are still alive

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:20.679
 though

00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.460
 some have fallen asleep

00:11:22.460 --> 00:11:23.539
 now I want you to think with me

00:11:23.539 --> 00:11:24.080
 for a moment

00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:25.620
 one of the things about

00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:26.860
 about politics

00:11:26.860 --> 00:11:28.240
 is that we have learned

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:29.679
 new vocabulary terms

00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:30.879
 how many of you knew

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:32.939
 what plausible deniability was

00:11:32.939 --> 00:11:34.720
 before the last 10 or so years

00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:35.939
 do you know what

00:11:35.939 --> 00:11:37.500
 plausible deniability is

00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:38.860
 it is

00:11:38.860 --> 00:11:40.259
 posing something

00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:41.200
 in such a fashion

00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:42.419
 that you can deny

00:11:42.419 --> 00:11:44.059
 that it really happened

00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:45.679
 or you can kind of

00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:46.839
 wiggle your way around it

00:11:46.839 --> 00:11:48.219
 and one of the easiest ways

00:11:48.219 --> 00:11:49.459
 to be able to

00:11:49.459 --> 00:11:50.019
 have

00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:50.959
 your

00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:52.000
 statements

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:52.599
 well

00:11:52.599 --> 00:11:53.639
 I would rephrase that

00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:54.759
 one of the easiest ways

00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:55.860
 to get away with a lie

00:11:55.860 --> 00:11:57.620
 is say it in such a vague way

00:11:57.620 --> 00:11:58.939
 that nobody can pin you down

00:11:58.939 --> 00:12:01.259
 case in point

00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:03.319
 all that's on my

00:12:03.319 --> 00:12:03.839
 server

00:12:03.839 --> 00:12:04.939
 is personal

00:12:04.939 --> 00:12:06.819
 and

00:12:06.819 --> 00:12:07.599
 the only way

00:12:07.599 --> 00:12:08.419
 you could find out

00:12:08.419 --> 00:12:09.339
 if that wasn't true

00:12:09.339 --> 00:12:10.079
 is to have

00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:10.560
 my

00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:11.940
 server

00:12:11.940 --> 00:12:13.200
 see

00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:14.500
 if no one else

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:15.100
 is a witness

00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:15.920
 to what you

00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:16.600
 say

00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:17.300
 is true

00:12:17.300 --> 00:12:18.340
 guess what

00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:19.820
 nobody can prove

00:12:19.820 --> 00:12:20.520
 whether you're lying

00:12:20.520 --> 00:12:21.320
 or telling the truth

00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:22.320
 and here

00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:23.240
 in relationship

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:24.259
 to the resurrection

00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:26.340
 Paul says

00:12:26.340 --> 00:12:28.240
 Jesus rose again

00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.060
 now there's nobody

00:12:30.060 --> 00:12:30.800
 living that really

00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:31.340
 knows anything

00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:32.300
 about this resurrection

00:12:32.300 --> 00:12:33.160
 just take my word

00:12:33.160 --> 00:12:33.600
 for it

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:34.800
 it's all personal

00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:35.060
 no

00:12:35.060 --> 00:12:36.740
 what Paul says

00:12:36.740 --> 00:12:36.940
 is

00:12:36.940 --> 00:12:37.460
 hey

00:12:37.460 --> 00:12:38.740
 Peter saw him

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:40.639
 the twelve saw him

00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:41.560
 and

00:12:41.560 --> 00:12:42.600
 after that

00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:43.120
 there were about

00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:44.259
 five hundred of us

00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:44.960
 and most of them

00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:45.940
 are living still

00:12:45.940 --> 00:12:47.040
 point being

00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:48.360
 if you have a question

00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:49.400
 about whether Jesus

00:12:49.400 --> 00:12:50.400
 rose from the dead

00:12:50.400 --> 00:12:51.620
 what you can do

00:12:51.620 --> 00:12:52.160
 is

00:12:52.160 --> 00:12:53.139
 check it out

00:12:53.139 --> 00:12:54.040
 with so and so

00:12:54.040 --> 00:12:55.400
 he was there

00:12:55.400 --> 00:12:57.019
 and he saw Jesus

00:12:57.019 --> 00:13:00.820
 not only is the resurrection

00:13:00.820 --> 00:13:01.720
 something that is

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.000
 affirmed by numerous witnesses

00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:03.940
 but it really is the

00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:05.019
 foundation of our faith

00:13:05.019 --> 00:13:07.699
 it is what our faith

00:13:07.699 --> 00:13:09.039
 rests upon

00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.000
 and apart from the resurrection

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.559
 we have no reason

00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:13.699
 to be confident

00:13:13.699 --> 00:13:15.139
 in the certainty

00:13:15.139 --> 00:13:16.259
 of the forgiveness

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:17.179
 of all of our sins

00:13:17.179 --> 00:13:18.259
 or in the certainty

00:13:18.259 --> 00:13:19.259
 of our eternal destiny

00:13:19.259 --> 00:13:20.220
 I want you to realize

00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:21.699
 this issue of the resurrection

00:13:21.699 --> 00:13:22.980
 is at the heart

00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:24.600
 at the heart

00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:25.840
 of our faith

00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:27.480
 going back again

00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:28.519
 to first Corinthians

00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:29.360
 chapter 15

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.100
 let me just read

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:31.519
 what the apostle wrote

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:32.879
 in verse 20

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.679
 but in fact

00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:36.000
 Christ has been

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.059
 raised from the dead

00:13:37.059 --> 00:13:38.419
 the first fruits

00:13:38.419 --> 00:13:39.120
 of those who have

00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:39.840
 fallen asleep

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.139
 for as by man

00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:42.919
 came death

00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:43.879
 by a man

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:45.139
 has come also

00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:45.820
 the resurrection

00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:46.899
 of the dead

00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:48.519
 for as in Adam

00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:49.139
 all die

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:50.179
 so also in Christ

00:13:50.179 --> 00:13:51.340
 all have been made alive

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:53.059
 each in his own order

00:13:53.059 --> 00:13:54.620
 Christ the first fruit

00:13:54.620 --> 00:13:55.379
 then it is coming

00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:56.480
 those who belong to Christ

00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:57.519
 how do I know

00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.100
 that I am going

00:13:59.100 --> 00:14:00.220
 to be resurrected

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:01.120
 from the grave

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.179
 how do I know

00:14:02.179 --> 00:14:03.740
 that those who have died

00:14:03.740 --> 00:14:04.960
 are going to be resurrected

00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:06.240
 the truth of the matter

00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:06.840
 is this

00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:07.820
 if you look back

00:14:07.820 --> 00:14:08.460
 a little bit

00:14:08.460 --> 00:14:09.379
 in verse 14

00:14:09.379 --> 00:14:09.700
 it says

00:14:09.700 --> 00:14:10.919
 if Christ has not

00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:11.440
 been raised

00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:12.039
 then our preaching

00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:12.740
 is in vain

00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:14.480
 and the dead

00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.179
 will not be raised

00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:16.000
 then in verse 20

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:16.720
 listen

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:17.860
 he is the one

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:19.200
 who by his raising

00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:19.860
 from the dead

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:20.679
 has made it

00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:21.840
 undeniably certain

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:23.159
 that he

00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:24.399
 will also

00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:25.399
 raise us

00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:26.080
 from the dead

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.100
 and we can trust

00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:27.519
 in that

00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:28.899
 it's because

00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:29.980
 of the empty tomb

00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:31.740
 that we can have

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:33.060
 complete confidence

00:14:33.060 --> 00:14:33.879
 in a number

00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:34.759
 of different truths

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:36.060
 in our faith

00:14:36.060 --> 00:14:36.620
 for one

00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:37.860
 we know we're going

00:14:37.860 --> 00:14:38.800
 to be raised

00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:39.379
 from the dead

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:40.740
 number two

00:14:40.740 --> 00:14:41.899
 we can be absolutely

00:14:41.899 --> 00:14:43.000
 certain of this fact

00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.340
 that he will judge

00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:45.000
 sin

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:46.580
 he will take care

00:14:46.580 --> 00:14:47.120
 of sin

00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:48.000
 I don't know about you

00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:49.220
 but every now and then

00:14:49.220 --> 00:14:50.279
 as I look at what's going

00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:51.019
 on in the world

00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:52.240
 I think to myself

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:53.200
 boy it would be nice

00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:54.139
 if some of this stuff

00:14:54.139 --> 00:14:54.720
 was settled

00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.180
 I'm looking forward

00:14:57.180 --> 00:14:57.740
 to the day

00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:58.779
 when justice

00:14:58.779 --> 00:14:59.419
 happens

00:14:59.419 --> 00:15:00.460
 in many different

00:15:00.460 --> 00:15:01.500
 places and instances

00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:02.840
 and the fact

00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:03.240
 of the matter

00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:04.379
 is that Jesus

00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:05.360
 having raised

00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:06.000
 from the dead

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:06.960
 is going to be

00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:07.740
 the one who cares

00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:08.500
 for the judgment

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:09.700
 of all the sin

00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:10.539
 that's taking place

00:15:10.539 --> 00:15:10.860
 now

00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:12.080
 he will settle it

00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:13.460
 there's another thing

00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:13.980
 that I want you

00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:14.600
 to recognize

00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:15.360
 in relationship

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.419
 to the matter

00:15:16.419 --> 00:15:17.720
 of his resurrection

00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:19.340
 it is proof

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:20.200
 of the power

00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:21.000
 that is available

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:21.779
 in us

00:15:21.779 --> 00:15:23.279
 to help us change

00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:24.779
 from being who we are

00:15:24.779 --> 00:15:26.100
 to who we will be

00:15:26.100 --> 00:15:28.420
 turn in your Bible

00:15:28.420 --> 00:15:31.180
 over to Ephesians

00:15:31.180 --> 00:15:32.000
 chapter 1

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:33.519
 verse 19 and 20

00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:36.639
 Ephesians chapter 1

00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:38.460
 verse 19 and 20

00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:40.759
 there are two

00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:42.580
 very significant prayers

00:15:42.580 --> 00:15:43.879
 in the book of Ephesians

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.300
 the first prayer

00:15:46.300 --> 00:15:47.720
 that Paul prays

00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:50.279
 is that the believer

00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:51.940
 would be aware

00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:52.960
 of the power

00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:54.019
 of the Holy Spirit

00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:56.060
 available in the believer's life

00:15:56.059 --> 00:15:57.459
 to help the believer

00:15:57.459 --> 00:15:58.359
 change

00:15:58.359 --> 00:16:01.879
 in those quiet moments

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:03.000
 when we kind of

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.339
 think carefully

00:16:05.339 --> 00:16:06.639
 about who we are

00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.899
 every one of us

00:16:08.899 --> 00:16:09.839
 ends up with a certain

00:16:09.839 --> 00:16:10.639
 amount of

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.819
 insecurity

00:16:11.819 --> 00:16:13.059
 recognizing

00:16:13.059 --> 00:16:14.519
 the natural tendency

00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:15.159
 of our heart

00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:15.639
 and the struggle

00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:16.399
 we have with sin

00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:17.239
 do you recognize that

00:16:17.239 --> 00:16:17.859
 do you see that

00:16:17.859 --> 00:16:21.799
 in those moments

00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:22.539
 the believer

00:16:22.539 --> 00:16:23.719
 has the encouragement

00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:24.940
 and the confidence

00:16:24.940 --> 00:16:26.620
 that the problem

00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:27.759
 of their life

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:28.460
 is something

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:29.420
 that enjoys

00:16:29.420 --> 00:16:30.540
 the power

00:16:30.540 --> 00:16:31.660
 of the Holy Spirit

00:16:31.660 --> 00:16:32.639
 so that

00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:34.220
 where they are today

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:35.220
 they don't have to

00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:35.920
 stay there

00:16:35.920 --> 00:16:37.300
 and they can change

00:16:37.300 --> 00:16:37.940
 and grow

00:16:37.940 --> 00:16:39.399
 how does change

00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:40.019
 how does growth

00:16:40.019 --> 00:16:40.399
 happen

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.860
 does it happen

00:16:41.860 --> 00:16:42.580
 just because you

00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:43.980
 arbitrarily make a decision

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:45.460
 I think I'm going to do

00:16:45.460 --> 00:16:46.220
 a little bit of moral

00:16:46.220 --> 00:16:46.740
 improvement

00:16:46.740 --> 00:16:47.540
 I'm going to be a little

00:16:47.540 --> 00:16:48.779
 less self-focused

00:16:48.779 --> 00:16:49.940
 I'm going to be a little

00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:50.720
 kinder

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.200
 I'm going to not be

00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:53.160
 as sarcastic

00:16:53.160 --> 00:16:54.139
 as I have been

00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:54.759
 how many of you

00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:55.160
 have made those

00:16:55.160 --> 00:16:55.940
 kind of resolutions

00:16:55.940 --> 00:16:56.500
 before

00:16:56.500 --> 00:16:58.060
 and how long

00:16:58.060 --> 00:16:58.899
 did they last

00:16:58.899 --> 00:17:01.820
 until the next time

00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:02.759
 someone who was

00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:03.320
 close to you

00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:04.019
 bumped in you

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:04.920
 and gave you

00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:05.460
 an opportunity

00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:06.039
 to practice

00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:06.799
 your sarcasm

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:07.339
 at which you're

00:17:07.339 --> 00:17:07.980
 a specialist

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:10.620
 well the happy fact

00:17:10.620 --> 00:17:11.120
 is this

00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:12.039
 is that the Holy Spirit

00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:12.880
 is in the believer

00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:14.200
 and the Holy Spirit

00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.180
 is invested

00:17:15.180 --> 00:17:16.079
 in the responsibility

00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:17.819
 of helping you change

00:17:17.819 --> 00:17:18.660
 now listen here

00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:20.940
 verse 19

00:17:20.940 --> 00:17:23.060
 and what is the

00:17:23.060 --> 00:17:23.500
 immeasurable

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:24.240
 this is the prayer

00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:25.000
 that Paul prays

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:25.220
 he says

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:25.740
 what is the

00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:26.680
 immeasurable greatness

00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:27.800
 of his power

00:17:27.800 --> 00:17:29.900
 toward us who believe

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:31.080
 according to the

00:17:31.080 --> 00:17:31.820
 working of his

00:17:31.820 --> 00:17:32.660
 great might

00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:34.640
 that he worked

00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:35.140
 in Christ

00:17:35.140 --> 00:17:36.360
 when he raised him

00:17:36.360 --> 00:17:37.759
 from the dead

00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.400
 happy thought

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:40.940
 isn't that

00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:43.060
 the same power

00:17:43.060 --> 00:17:44.840
 that took Jesus

00:17:44.840 --> 00:17:46.540
 out of the grave

00:17:46.540 --> 00:17:47.640
 and raised him

00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:48.980
 again is the

00:17:48.980 --> 00:17:50.140
 power that is

00:17:50.140 --> 00:17:51.440
 available to help

00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:52.440
 me change

00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:53.580
 and not stay

00:17:53.580 --> 00:17:54.320
 the way

00:17:54.320 --> 00:17:56.060
 I am

00:17:56.060 --> 00:17:59.440
 and so this

00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.320
 morning as we

00:18:00.320 --> 00:18:01.340
 celebrate

00:18:01.340 --> 00:18:02.860
 the resurrection

00:18:02.860 --> 00:18:04.800
 one of the things

00:18:04.800 --> 00:18:05.560
 that we need to

00:18:05.560 --> 00:18:06.380
 understand is that

00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:07.080
 the resurrection

00:18:07.080 --> 00:18:07.780
 which is an

00:18:07.780 --> 00:18:08.820
 undeniable truth

00:18:08.820 --> 00:18:09.940
 is something that

00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:10.780
 is at the very

00:18:10.780 --> 00:18:12.060
 center of our

00:18:12.060 --> 00:18:13.120
 faith and it

00:18:13.120 --> 00:18:14.180
 has its effect

00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:15.320
 across the broad

00:18:15.320 --> 00:18:16.500
 range of the

00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:17.160
 things that we

00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:17.900
 enjoy as

00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:18.359
 believers

00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:19.660
 it is that

00:18:19.660 --> 00:18:20.559
 which gives us

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:21.299
 comfort and

00:18:21.299 --> 00:18:22.119
 consolation

00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:23.079
 it is that

00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:24.019
 which encourages

00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:25.079
 us in those

00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:25.759
 moments of

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:26.440
 challenge when

00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:27.059
 we're broken

00:18:27.059 --> 00:18:27.940
 by the world

00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:28.599
 we live in

00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:29.519
 it is that

00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:30.259
 which gives us

00:18:30.259 --> 00:18:31.240
 hope when we

00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:32.400
 face the reality

00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.359
 of where we are

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.299
 and we think

00:18:34.299 --> 00:18:35.000
 about where we

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:35.559
 need to go

00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:36.019
 and we know

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:37.059
 I have the

00:18:37.059 --> 00:18:37.980
 power of the

00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:38.579
 Holy Spirit

00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:39.059
 that raised

00:18:39.059 --> 00:18:39.759
 Jesus up from

00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:40.059
 the dead

00:18:40.059 --> 00:18:40.900
 at work in me

00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:41.579
 and I have

00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:42.319
 confidence that

00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:42.660
 he's going to

00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:43.319
 do his work

00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:45.220
 well one

00:18:45.220 --> 00:18:46.079
 we recognize

00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:46.700
 this morning

00:18:46.700 --> 00:18:47.240
 the fact of

00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:47.799
 the resurrection

00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:49.559
 but I want to

00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:50.339
 take the passage

00:18:50.339 --> 00:18:50.879
 and kind of

00:18:50.879 --> 00:18:51.819
 push back into

00:18:51.819 --> 00:18:52.259
 it a little bit

00:18:52.259 --> 00:18:53.059
 more and

00:18:53.059 --> 00:18:53.899
 recognize that

00:18:53.899 --> 00:18:54.679
 his resurrection

00:18:54.679 --> 00:18:55.439
 has bearing

00:18:55.439 --> 00:18:56.259
 on our

00:18:56.259 --> 00:18:57.299
 justification

00:18:57.299 --> 00:19:00.559
 what we saw

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:01.179
 earlier this

00:19:01.179 --> 00:19:01.879
 morning in the

00:19:01.879 --> 00:19:02.819
 first service

00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:03.519
 is that Jesus

00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:04.240
 died for our

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:04.679
 sins

00:19:04.679 --> 00:19:06.500
 and what Paul

00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:07.399
 tells us then

00:19:07.399 --> 00:19:08.319
 in the last part

00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:09.119
 of Romans chapter

00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:10.000
 4 verse 25

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:11.019
 is that the

00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:11.799
 resurrection of

00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:12.500
 Jesus not only

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:13.419
 satisfies the

00:19:13.419 --> 00:19:13.839
 dead of our

00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:14.440
 past sins

00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:15.639
 but also brings

00:19:15.639 --> 00:19:16.279
 about his

00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:16.919
 righteousness

00:19:16.919 --> 00:19:17.980
 to our life

00:19:17.980 --> 00:19:19.639
 now before we

00:19:19.639 --> 00:19:20.220
 take our text

00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:21.819
 further I want

00:19:21.819 --> 00:19:22.480
 to say first of

00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:23.299
 all that Jesus

00:19:23.299 --> 00:19:24.180
 did not rise

00:19:24.180 --> 00:19:24.700
 from the dead

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:26.240
 only for our

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:26.919
 sakes Jesus

00:19:26.919 --> 00:19:27.619
 rose from the

00:19:27.619 --> 00:19:28.119
 dead because

00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:28.899
 death could not

00:19:28.899 --> 00:19:29.299
 hold him

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:30.299
 one of the

00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:30.980
 songs that we

00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:31.700
 sing says

00:19:31.700 --> 00:19:33.519
 death could not

00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:34.519
 hold on to

00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:35.659
 Jesus and we

00:19:35.659 --> 00:19:36.440
 recognize that

00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:37.359
 the reason for

00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:38.220
 that are you

00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:38.799
 thinking why

00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:39.960
 Jesus was not

00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:40.419
 held in the

00:19:40.419 --> 00:19:41.619
 grave does

00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:42.159
 anybody know

00:19:42.159 --> 00:19:43.839
 can you say

00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:44.419
 to me I

00:19:44.419 --> 00:19:45.259
 have a Bible

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:45.939
 verse that

00:19:45.939 --> 00:19:46.979
 that makes it

00:19:46.979 --> 00:19:48.059
 clear here's

00:19:48.059 --> 00:19:49.399
 why I see a

00:19:49.399 --> 00:19:49.799
 couple of you

00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:50.319
 nodding the

00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:50.819
 rest of you are

00:19:50.819 --> 00:19:51.379
 looking at the

00:19:51.379 --> 00:19:51.959
 nodders and

00:19:51.959 --> 00:19:53.439
 saying tell us

00:19:53.439 --> 00:19:54.659
 you know here's

00:19:54.659 --> 00:19:55.939
 the deal we

00:19:55.939 --> 00:19:57.039
 make a statement

00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:57.599
 we want to know

00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:58.179
 where it is in

00:19:58.179 --> 00:19:58.979
 the Bible how

00:19:58.979 --> 00:19:59.839
 is it that Jesus

00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:00.839
 couldn't be held

00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:02.019
 by death

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:03.459
 you're in Romans

00:20:03.459 --> 00:20:04.059
 keep your finger

00:20:04.059 --> 00:20:04.619
 there we're coming

00:20:04.619 --> 00:20:05.319
 back but I want

00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:05.839
 you to go back

00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:06.839
 to that chapter

00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:07.279
 we're going to

00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:07.979
 bounce back and

00:20:07.979 --> 00:20:08.819
 forward between

00:20:08.819 --> 00:20:10.639
 1st Corinthians

00:20:10.639 --> 00:20:11.720
 chapter 15

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:14.639
 verse 24

00:20:14.639 --> 00:20:17.519
 1st Corinthians

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:18.279
 chapter 15

00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:18.899
 verse 24

00:20:18.899 --> 00:20:19.720
 it says this

00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:21.960
 then comes the

00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:22.500
 end when he

00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:22.919
 delivered the

00:20:22.919 --> 00:20:23.079
 king

00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.220
 that's not what

00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:26.639
 I wanted

00:20:26.639 --> 00:20:27.259
 I'm sorry

00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:28.279
 Acts chapter 2

00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:29.740
 see I got

00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:31.000
 habit of going

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:31.579
 to Acts chapter

00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:32.119
 15

00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:33.000
 took a false

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:33.460
 run there

00:20:33.460 --> 00:20:34.500
 Acts chapter 2

00:20:34.500 --> 00:20:35.220
 verse 24

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:36.220
 it says this

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:45.380
 okay how many

00:20:45.380 --> 00:20:45.600
 of you are

00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:45.960
 praying for

00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:46.420
 your pastor

00:20:46.420 --> 00:20:48.279
 that's just a

00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:48.860
 test just

00:20:48.860 --> 00:20:49.160
 sing

00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:50.279
 just sing

00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:52.000
 verse 2

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:52.579
 chapter 2

00:20:52.579 --> 00:20:53.120
 verse 24

00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:53.680
 it says God

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:54.400
 raised him up

00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.420
 loosing the

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:56.460
 pangs of death

00:20:56.460 --> 00:20:57.920
 because it was

00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:59.079
 not possible

00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:00.140
 for him to be

00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:00.740
 held by it

00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:02.700
 it wasn't

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:04.160
 possible for

00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:05.400
 Jesus to be

00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:06.080
 held in death

00:21:06.080 --> 00:21:07.360
 and then in

00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:08.200
 verse 27

00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:09.240
 it says for

00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:09.860
 you will not

00:21:09.860 --> 00:21:10.620
 abandon my

00:21:10.620 --> 00:21:11.420
 soul in Hades

00:21:11.420 --> 00:21:12.560
 or let your

00:21:12.560 --> 00:21:13.600
 holy ones see

00:21:13.600 --> 00:21:14.080
 corruption

00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:16.880
 now I want you

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:17.880
 to come back

00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:18.620
 if you will

00:21:18.620 --> 00:21:20.040
 and think with

00:21:20.040 --> 00:21:20.740
 me about that

00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:21.519
 a little further

00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:22.240
 and here's where

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:23.060
 we will go back

00:21:23.060 --> 00:21:23.880
 to 1st Corinthians

00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:24.800
 chapter 15

00:21:24.800 --> 00:21:26.100
 and remember

00:21:26.100 --> 00:21:26.940
 what it says

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:27.680
 in the last

00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:28.340
 part of 1st

00:21:28.340 --> 00:21:28.680
 Corinthians

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:29.580
 chapter 15

00:21:29.580 --> 00:21:31.180
 it says this

00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:31.940
 oh death

00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:33.100
 where is your

00:21:33.100 --> 00:21:33.580
 victory

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:34.740
 oh death

00:21:34.740 --> 00:21:35.399
 where is your

00:21:35.399 --> 00:21:35.919
 sting

00:21:35.919 --> 00:21:36.579
 what is it

00:21:36.579 --> 00:21:37.500
 that makes

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:38.019
 death

00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:39.319
 as destructive

00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:40.539
 as it is

00:21:40.539 --> 00:21:41.879
 it is the

00:21:41.879 --> 00:21:42.519
 power of sin

00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:43.759
 and with

00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:44.500
 the power

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:44.980
 of sin

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:45.559
 comes the

00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:46.119
 corrupting

00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:46.579
 ability

00:21:46.579 --> 00:21:47.519
 of sin

00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:47.980
 not only

00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:48.639
 on the

00:21:48.639 --> 00:21:49.059
 spirit

00:21:49.059 --> 00:21:49.819
 but also

00:21:49.819 --> 00:21:50.259
 on the

00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:51.019
 body

00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:51.639
 of a

00:21:51.639 --> 00:21:51.939
 man

00:21:51.939 --> 00:21:52.879
 and Jesus

00:21:52.879 --> 00:21:53.799
 being absolutely

00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:54.419
 sinless

00:21:54.419 --> 00:21:54.759
 death

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.419
 could not

00:21:55.419 --> 00:21:56.000
 get a bite

00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:56.439
 on him

00:21:56.439 --> 00:21:57.019
 could not

00:21:57.019 --> 00:21:57.519
 hold on

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:57.879
 to him

00:21:57.879 --> 00:21:58.559
 could not

00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:58.980
 keep him

00:21:58.980 --> 00:21:59.339
 in that

00:21:59.339 --> 00:21:59.960
 state

00:21:59.960 --> 00:22:01.980
 and so

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:02.420
 let me tell

00:22:02.420 --> 00:22:02.759
 you that

00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:03.259
 while we

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:03.799
 think about

00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:04.519
 the resurrection

00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:06.819
 and we

00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:07.920
 recognize that

00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:09.180
 faith in Christ

00:22:09.180 --> 00:22:10.220
 is an incredibly

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:11.340
 simple truth

00:22:11.340 --> 00:22:12.019
 to hold on

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:12.220
 to

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:13.140
 it's something

00:22:13.140 --> 00:22:14.000
 that a

00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:14.640
 four year old

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:15.420
 a five year old

00:22:15.420 --> 00:22:15.880
 may believe

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:16.360
 it's something

00:22:16.360 --> 00:22:16.960
 that a person

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:17.559
 who is in his

00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:18.480
 80s and 90s

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:19.259
 may come to

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:19.620
 faith and

00:22:19.620 --> 00:22:20.079
 believe in the

00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:20.519
 Lord Jesus

00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:20.900
 Christ

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:21.819
 as simple

00:22:21.819 --> 00:22:22.720
 as it is

00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:24.200
 to believe

00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:24.759
 in Christ

00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:26.480
 the impact

00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:27.220
 of faith

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:28.079
 is profound

00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:28.799
 and the

00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:29.339
 impact

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:29.700
 of what

00:22:29.700 --> 00:22:30.019
 Jesus

00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:30.779
 did for us

00:22:30.779 --> 00:22:31.379
 on the

00:22:31.379 --> 00:22:31.700
 cross

00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:32.700
 is unbelievable

00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:34.599
 there are

00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:35.079
 many things

00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:35.400
 that come

00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:36.079
 with salvation

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:37.180
 there are

00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:37.720
 many things

00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:38.240
 that come

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:39.019
 as a result

00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:39.619
 of the

00:22:39.619 --> 00:22:40.220
 empty tomb

00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:40.640
 and let me

00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:41.079
 just kind of

00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:41.539
 touch on

00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:42.059
 several of

00:22:42.059 --> 00:22:42.500
 these things

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:43.180
 for you to

00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:43.440
 kind of

00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.019
 ponder with

00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:44.160
 me

00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:44.500
 it says

00:22:44.500 --> 00:22:44.660
 here

00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:45.279
 for one

00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:45.619
 we are

00:22:45.619 --> 00:22:45.960
 saved

00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:46.259
 from the

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:46.500
 wrath

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:46.940
 to come

00:22:46.940 --> 00:22:48.440
 I don't

00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:48.859
 know about

00:22:48.859 --> 00:22:49.039
 you

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.960
 but the

00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:50.379
 fact of

00:22:50.379 --> 00:22:50.680
 the matter

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:50.980
 is

00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:51.339
 because

00:22:51.339 --> 00:22:51.759
 Jesus

00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:52.119
 died

00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:52.460
 in my

00:22:52.460 --> 00:22:52.839
 place

00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:53.379
 I have

00:22:53.379 --> 00:22:53.740
 no

00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:54.619
 condemnation

00:22:54.619 --> 00:22:55.219
 and I

00:22:55.219 --> 00:22:55.399
 have

00:22:55.399 --> 00:22:55.619
 no

00:22:55.619 --> 00:22:55.959
 reason

00:22:55.959 --> 00:22:56.219
 to

00:22:56.219 --> 00:22:56.559
 fear

00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:57.059
 the

00:22:57.059 --> 00:22:57.599
 eventual

00:22:57.599 --> 00:22:58.459
 consequence

00:22:58.459 --> 00:22:59.139
 of all

00:22:59.139 --> 00:22:59.359
 my

00:22:59.359 --> 00:22:59.559
 sin

00:22:59.559 --> 00:22:59.739
 in the

00:22:59.739 --> 00:23:00.019
 past

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:00.199
 all

00:23:00.199 --> 00:23:00.399
 my

00:23:00.399 --> 00:23:00.659
 sin

00:23:00.659 --> 00:23:01.099
 I

00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:01.519
 know

00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:02.239
 Jesus

00:23:02.239 --> 00:23:02.539
 has

00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:02.799
 paid

00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:03.019
 my

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:03.399
 debt

00:23:03.399 --> 00:23:03.819
 and

00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:04.039
 it's

00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:04.299
 paid

00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:04.479
 in

00:23:04.479 --> 00:23:04.639
 full

00:23:04.639 --> 00:23:04.839
 that's

00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:04.939
 what

00:23:04.939 --> 00:23:05.099
 we're

00:23:05.099 --> 00:23:05.299
 saying

00:23:05.299 --> 00:23:05.500
 this

00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:05.799
 morning

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.219
 how

00:23:06.219 --> 00:23:06.379
 do

00:23:06.379 --> 00:23:06.500
 I

00:23:06.500 --> 00:23:06.659
 know

00:23:06.659 --> 00:23:06.919
 that

00:23:06.919 --> 00:23:07.879
 the

00:23:07.879 --> 00:23:08.159
 empty

00:23:08.159 --> 00:23:08.419
 tomb

00:23:08.419 --> 00:23:08.739
 makes

00:23:08.739 --> 00:23:08.899
 it

00:23:08.899 --> 00:23:09.159
 clear

00:23:09.159 --> 00:23:09.359
 that

00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:09.639
 that

00:23:09.639 --> 00:23:10.099
 payment

00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:10.419
 was

00:23:10.419 --> 00:23:11.159
 accepted

00:23:11.159 --> 00:23:11.699
 and

00:23:11.699 --> 00:23:11.839
 it

00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:12.319
 satisfied

00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:12.619
 my

00:23:12.619 --> 00:23:12.959
 debt

00:23:12.959 --> 00:23:14.459
 furthermore

00:23:14.459 --> 00:23:15.239
 because

00:23:15.239 --> 00:23:15.819
 Jesus

00:23:15.819 --> 00:23:16.179
 died

00:23:16.179 --> 00:23:16.539
 for my

00:23:16.539 --> 00:23:16.779
 sin

00:23:16.779 --> 00:23:17.159
 and rose

00:23:17.159 --> 00:23:17.479
 again

00:23:17.479 --> 00:23:18.000
 I

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:18.179
 am

00:23:18.179 --> 00:23:18.359
 no

00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:18.699
 longer

00:23:18.699 --> 00:23:19.179
 condemned

00:23:19.179 --> 00:23:19.359
 to

00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:19.459
 an

00:23:24.619 --> 00:23:24.779
 going

00:23:24.779 --> 00:23:24.919
 to

00:23:24.919 --> 00:23:25.259
 spend

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:25.859
 one

00:23:25.859 --> 00:23:26.159
 week

00:23:26.159 --> 00:23:26.319
 in

00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:26.539
 hell

00:23:26.539 --> 00:23:26.719
 or

00:23:26.719 --> 00:23:26.919
 two

00:23:26.919 --> 00:23:27.179
 weeks

00:23:27.179 --> 00:23:27.359
 in

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:27.559
 hell

00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:27.759
 or

00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:28.339
 nine

00:23:28.339 --> 00:23:28.659
 years

00:23:28.659 --> 00:23:28.859
 in

00:23:28.859 --> 00:23:29.059
 hell

00:23:29.059 --> 00:23:29.199
 and

00:23:29.199 --> 00:23:29.359
 I'm

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:29.559
 hoping

00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:29.779
 that

00:23:29.779 --> 00:23:29.939
 my

00:23:29.939 --> 00:23:30.239
 friends

00:23:30.239 --> 00:23:30.399
 will

00:23:30.399 --> 00:23:30.619
 pray

00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:30.799
 me

00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:31.000
 out

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:31.119
 or

00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:31.399
 whatever

00:23:31.399 --> 00:23:31.879
 I

00:23:31.879 --> 00:23:32.139
 know

00:23:32.139 --> 00:23:32.319
 that

00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:32.479
 when

00:23:32.479 --> 00:23:32.659
 I

00:23:32.659 --> 00:23:32.899
 die

00:23:32.899 --> 00:23:33.059
 I

00:23:33.059 --> 00:23:33.219
 go

00:23:33.219 --> 00:23:33.419
 from

00:23:33.419 --> 00:23:33.639
 this

00:23:33.639 --> 00:23:33.919
 place

00:23:33.919 --> 00:23:34.079
 to

00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:34.299
 that

00:23:34.299 --> 00:23:34.519
 one

00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:35.579
 and

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:36.039
 why

00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:37.139
 because

00:23:37.139 --> 00:23:37.539
 Jesus

00:23:37.539 --> 00:23:37.919
 paid

00:23:37.919 --> 00:23:38.139
 my

00:23:38.139 --> 00:23:38.419
 debt

00:23:38.419 --> 00:23:38.619
 and

00:23:38.619 --> 00:23:39.159
 satisfied

00:23:39.159 --> 00:23:39.659
 my

00:23:39.659 --> 00:23:40.599
 sin

00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:40.779
 he

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:41.000
 paid

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:41.159
 the

00:23:41.159 --> 00:23:41.579
 price

00:23:41.579 --> 00:23:43.239
 I'm

00:23:43.239 --> 00:23:43.579
 reminded

00:23:43.579 --> 00:23:44.000
 also

00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:44.299
 of the

00:23:44.299 --> 00:23:44.519
 fact

00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:44.679
 that

00:23:44.679 --> 00:23:44.819
 at

00:23:44.819 --> 00:23:44.979
 his

00:23:44.979 --> 00:23:45.459
 salvation

00:23:45.459 --> 00:23:45.719
 he

00:23:45.719 --> 00:23:45.959
 took

00:23:45.959 --> 00:23:46.159
 me

00:23:46.159 --> 00:23:46.339
 who

00:23:46.339 --> 00:23:46.479
 was

00:23:46.479 --> 00:23:46.719
 once

00:23:54.619 --> 00:23:54.739
 the

00:23:54.739 --> 00:23:55.039
 beloved

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:55.219
 do

00:23:55.219 --> 00:23:55.259
 you

00:23:55.259 --> 00:23:55.339
 know

00:23:55.339 --> 00:23:55.459
 what

00:23:55.459 --> 00:23:55.679
 that's

00:23:55.679 --> 00:23:55.919
 saying

00:23:55.919 --> 00:23:57.239
 it's

00:23:57.239 --> 00:23:57.419
 saying

00:23:57.419 --> 00:23:57.559
 that

00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:57.719
 when

00:23:57.719 --> 00:23:58.039
 Jesus

00:23:58.039 --> 00:23:58.399
 looks

00:23:58.399 --> 00:23:58.579
 at

00:23:58.579 --> 00:23:58.699
 you

00:23:58.699 --> 00:23:58.859
 he

00:23:58.859 --> 00:23:59.119
 looks

00:23:59.119 --> 00:23:59.279
 at

00:23:59.279 --> 00:23:59.399
 you

00:23:59.399 --> 00:23:59.579
 with

00:23:59.579 --> 00:23:59.919
 favor

00:23:59.919 --> 00:24:00.119
 he

00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:00.479
 loves

00:24:00.479 --> 00:24:00.719
 you

00:24:00.719 --> 00:24:01.779
 and

00:24:01.779 --> 00:24:01.919
 you

00:24:01.919 --> 00:24:02.079
 are

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:02.579
 accepted

00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:03.419
 unconditionally

00:24:03.419 --> 00:24:04.099
 every

00:24:04.099 --> 00:24:04.419
 now and

00:24:04.419 --> 00:24:04.639
 then we

00:24:04.639 --> 00:24:04.899
 probably

00:24:04.899 --> 00:24:05.219
 look at

00:24:05.219 --> 00:24:05.539
 ourselves

00:24:05.539 --> 00:24:05.779
 in the

00:24:05.779 --> 00:24:05.939
 mirror

00:24:05.939 --> 00:24:06.059
 and

00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:06.239
 think

00:24:06.239 --> 00:24:07.419
 what

00:24:07.419 --> 00:24:07.699
 did

00:24:07.699 --> 00:24:07.879
 you

00:24:07.879 --> 00:24:08.099
 do

00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:08.419
 making

00:24:08.419 --> 00:24:08.719
 me

00:24:08.719 --> 00:24:10.199
 oh

00:24:10.199 --> 00:24:10.379
 I

00:24:10.379 --> 00:24:10.539
 would

00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:10.799
 like

00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:10.959
 to

00:24:10.959 --> 00:24:11.119
 be

00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:11.479
 like

00:24:11.479 --> 00:24:12.279
 do

00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:12.379
 you

00:24:12.379 --> 00:24:12.559
 follow

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:12.699
 what

00:24:12.699 --> 00:24:12.799
 I'm

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.019
 saying

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:13.159
 we

00:24:13.159 --> 00:24:13.439
 always

00:24:13.439 --> 00:24:13.659
 wish

00:24:13.659 --> 00:24:13.759
 we

00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:13.859
 were

00:24:13.859 --> 00:24:14.199
 somebody

00:24:14.199 --> 00:24:14.619
 else

00:24:14.619 --> 00:24:16.059
 there's

00:24:16.059 --> 00:24:16.279
 only

00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:16.599
 one

00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:16.739
 of

00:24:16.739 --> 00:24:16.939
 you

00:24:24.619 --> 00:24:25.579
 we're

00:24:25.579 --> 00:24:25.979
 joined

00:24:25.979 --> 00:24:26.139
 to

00:24:26.139 --> 00:24:26.319
 his

00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:26.779
 body

00:24:26.779 --> 00:24:27.739
 we're

00:24:31.339 --> 00:24:31.899

00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:34.079
 could add

00:26:12.620 --> 00:26:13.380
 my account

00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:14.100
 so that

00:26:14.100 --> 00:26:14.380
 when

00:26:14.380 --> 00:26:14.940
 God

00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:15.360
 looks

00:26:15.360 --> 00:26:15.920
 at the

00:26:17.740 --> 00:26:18.400
 I wonder

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:18.799
 how Tim

00:26:21.360 --> 00:26:21.519
 kind

00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:21.600
 of

00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:22.000
 interesting

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:22.519
 to have

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.560
 a woman

 in our

00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:24.200

00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:24.440
 who

00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:25.720
 knew

00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:26.360
 of me

00:26:26.360 --> 00:26:26.720
 and my

00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.180
 family

00:26:27.180 --> 00:26:27.840
 when I

00:26:27.840 --> 00:26:28.200
 grew up

00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:28.640
 in India

00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:29.200
 hi

00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:29.460
 Kimmy

00:26:29.460 --> 00:26:30.340
 how are

00:26:30.340 --> 00:26:30.720
 you doing

00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.840
 Kimmy and

00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:34.220
 Ron

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:35.100
 and their

00:26:35.100 --> 00:26:35.740
 two boys

00:26:35.740 --> 00:26:36.900
 are here

00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:37.460
 entertaining

00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:37.980
 my mother

00:26:37.980 --> 00:26:39.420
 Kimmy you're

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:39.779
 not allowed

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:40.080
 to tell

00:26:40.080 --> 00:26:40.460
 any of the

00:26:40.460 --> 00:26:41.000
 stories about

00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:41.240
 when I

00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:41.600
 was growing

00:26:41.600 --> 00:26:41.800
 up

00:26:41.800 --> 00:26:42.080
 will you

00:26:42.080 --> 00:26:43.640
 if I

00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:44.080
 see anybody

00:26:44.080 --> 00:26:44.840
 standing near

00:26:44.840 --> 00:26:45.240
 her I'm

00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:45.720
 concerned

00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.120
 but here's

00:26:48.120 --> 00:26:48.579
 the truth

00:26:48.579 --> 00:26:49.539
 when God

00:26:49.539 --> 00:26:50.019
 turns the

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:50.559
 pages on

00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:50.759
 Tim

00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:51.240
 Knoyer's

00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:51.559
 book

00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:52.519
 I wonder

00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:52.960
 how he

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:53.240
 did

00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:54.700
 he sees

00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:55.200
 the finished

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:55.660
 work of

00:26:55.660 --> 00:26:56.000
 Christ

00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:56.860
 he sees

00:26:56.860 --> 00:26:57.380
 his blood

00:26:57.380 --> 00:26:58.039
 and he

00:26:58.039 --> 00:26:58.579
 sees the

00:26:58.579 --> 00:26:59.100
 righteousness

00:26:59.100 --> 00:26:59.900
 of Christ

00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:00.700
 imputed

00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:01.779
 that means

00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:02.680
 transferred over

00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:03.100
 and put on

00:27:03.100 --> 00:27:03.720
 my account

00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:08.680
 I want you

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:08.940
 to turn

00:27:08.940 --> 00:27:09.380
 just for a

00:27:09.380 --> 00:27:09.620
 moment

00:27:09.620 --> 00:27:10.660
 over to

00:27:10.660 --> 00:27:10.920
 Romans

00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:11.579
 chapter 3

00:27:11.579 --> 00:27:12.240
 verse 23

00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:12.960
 and 24

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.860
 Romans

00:27:15.860 --> 00:27:16.519
 chapter 3

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:17.240
 verse 23

00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:18.900
 and 24

00:27:18.900 --> 00:27:24.039
 for all

00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:25.100
 have sinned

00:27:25.100 --> 00:27:27.160
 and fall

00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:27.519
 short of

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:27.819
 the glory

00:27:27.819 --> 00:27:28.279
 of God

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:30.960
 you know

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:31.380
 one of the

00:27:31.380 --> 00:27:31.920
 things that

00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:32.799
 comes at

00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:33.180
 Easter

00:27:33.180 --> 00:27:34.700
 and I am

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:35.160
 very thankful

00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:35.700
 for this

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:37.360
 is that

00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:38.019
 because of

00:27:38.019 --> 00:27:38.819
 family relations

00:27:38.819 --> 00:27:39.960
 and because of

00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:40.640
 family being

00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:41.180
 what it is

00:27:41.180 --> 00:27:43.140
 a lot of

00:27:43.140 --> 00:27:43.560
 times

00:27:43.560 --> 00:27:44.420
 an Easter

00:27:44.420 --> 00:27:45.019
 service is

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:45.560
 where people

00:27:45.560 --> 00:27:46.000
 will come

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:46.480
 in respect

00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:47.160
 for family

00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:48.200
 and for

00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:48.759
 relationships

00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:49.360
 that they

00:27:49.360 --> 00:27:50.180
 don't come

00:27:50.180 --> 00:27:50.519
 to church

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:50.920
 normally

00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:51.340
 other than

00:27:51.340 --> 00:27:51.539
 that

00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:51.759
 do you

00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:52.400
 follow that

00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:54.740
 and if

00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:55.100
 there is

00:27:55.100 --> 00:27:55.620
 anything

00:27:55.620 --> 00:27:57.080
 that gives

00:27:57.080 --> 00:27:57.799
 me pleasure

00:27:57.799 --> 00:27:59.180
 on Easter

00:27:59.180 --> 00:28:00.200
 it is the

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:00.779
 opportunity

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:01.740
 of making

00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:02.539
 the gospel

00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:04.019
 undeniably

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:04.580
 clear

00:28:04.580 --> 00:28:05.880
 plain

00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:07.460
 simple

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:08.480
 so that when

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:08.940
 you walk

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:09.519
 out of here

00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:10.180
 one of the

00:28:10.180 --> 00:28:10.700
 things that I

00:28:10.700 --> 00:28:11.240
 trust

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:12.240
 is just

00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:13.000
 absolutely

00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:13.879
 crystal clear

00:28:13.879 --> 00:28:14.639
 is I

00:28:14.639 --> 00:28:15.099
 know

00:28:15.099 --> 00:28:16.420
 number one

00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:18.279
 that all

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:18.859
 men are

00:28:18.859 --> 00:28:19.259
 sinners

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:19.920
 and stand

00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:20.819
 justly condemned

00:28:20.819 --> 00:28:21.299
 before a

00:28:21.299 --> 00:28:21.859
 holy God

00:28:21.859 --> 00:28:23.099
 and that

00:28:23.099 --> 00:28:23.700
 includes me

00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:25.779
 it's very

00:28:25.779 --> 00:28:26.359
 interesting

00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:26.819
 that the

00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:27.519
 idea of

00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:28.039
 coming to

00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:28.500
 grips with

00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:29.099
 the reality

00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:29.519
 of your

00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:30.079
 own sin

00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:30.879
 is a

00:28:30.879 --> 00:28:31.319
 fairly

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:32.099
 complicated

00:28:32.099 --> 00:28:32.740
 and unhappy

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:33.460
 process

00:28:33.460 --> 00:28:34.900
 do you

00:28:34.900 --> 00:28:35.180
 follow what

00:28:35.180 --> 00:28:35.539
 I'm saying

00:28:35.539 --> 00:28:37.460
 I mean

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:38.180
 most of us

00:28:38.180 --> 00:28:38.660
 would like to

00:28:38.660 --> 00:28:39.259
 think that if

00:28:39.259 --> 00:28:39.820
 we put on a

00:28:39.820 --> 00:28:40.259
 smile and

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:40.800
 makeup it's

00:28:40.800 --> 00:28:41.340
 good enough

00:28:41.340 --> 00:28:43.200
 the truth of

00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:43.759
 the matter is

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:44.240
 is that that

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:44.700
 doesn't do

00:28:44.700 --> 00:28:45.200
 anything to

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.600
 touch the

00:28:45.600 --> 00:28:45.980
 heart

00:28:45.980 --> 00:28:48.100
 and what the

00:28:48.100 --> 00:28:48.779
 scriptures tell

00:28:48.779 --> 00:28:49.259
 us is the

00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:49.700
 heart is

00:28:49.700 --> 00:28:50.440
 deceitful above

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:51.160
 all things and

00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:51.880
 desperately wicked

00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:52.740
 how many of

00:28:52.740 --> 00:28:53.279
 you have been

00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:54.080
 stunned on

00:28:54.080 --> 00:28:54.720
 occasion to

00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:55.800
 recognize just

00:28:55.800 --> 00:28:56.580
 how black and

00:28:56.580 --> 00:28:57.300
 dark the

00:28:57.300 --> 00:28:57.800
 thoughts of

00:28:57.800 --> 00:28:58.460
 your mind

00:28:58.460 --> 00:28:58.980
 and heart

00:28:58.980 --> 00:28:59.560
 are

00:28:59.560 --> 00:29:02.560
 the Bible

00:29:02.560 --> 00:29:03.019
 says there

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:03.360
 is none

00:29:03.360 --> 00:29:03.740
 righteous

00:29:03.740 --> 00:29:04.580
 no not one

00:29:04.580 --> 00:29:06.040
 there's not a

00:29:06.040 --> 00:29:06.759
 single person

00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:08.660
 that by

00:29:08.660 --> 00:29:09.240
 virtue of

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:09.859
 his own

00:29:09.859 --> 00:29:10.539
 standing

00:29:10.539 --> 00:29:11.039
 and his

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.660
 own behavior

00:29:11.660 --> 00:29:12.160
 will be able

00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:12.640
 to stand in

00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:13.019
 the presence

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:13.440
 of a holy

00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:13.799
 God and

00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:14.099
 say hey

00:29:14.099 --> 00:29:14.819
 I got a

00:29:14.819 --> 00:29:15.180
 right to

00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:15.519
 come in

00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:16.400
 because I

00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:17.140
 am free

00:29:17.140 --> 00:29:18.240
 of sin

00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:19.019
 no thing

00:29:19.019 --> 00:29:19.599
 like that

00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:22.460
 but what we

00:29:22.460 --> 00:29:23.000
 find there

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:23.500
 in verse

00:29:23.500 --> 00:29:24.160
 24

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:26.119
 yes all

00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:26.819
 have sinned

00:29:26.819 --> 00:29:27.339
 23

00:29:27.339 --> 00:29:28.279
 but

00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:29.480
 the one

00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:29.720
 who is

00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:30.299
 trusted in

00:29:30.299 --> 00:29:30.599
 Christ

00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:31.799
 is justified

00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:32.700
 by his

00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:33.099
 grace

00:29:33.099 --> 00:29:34.099
 as a

00:29:34.099 --> 00:29:34.519
 gift

00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:35.319
 through the

00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:35.960
 redemption

00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:36.799
 that is in

00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:37.740
 Christ Jesus

00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:40.240
 and we see

00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:40.720
 then in verse

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.519
 25 whom

00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:42.039
 God put

00:30:15.779 --> 00:30:16.680
 about just

00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:20.640
 moment

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:21.220

00:32:25.340 --> 00:32:25.660
 for the

00:32:25.660 --> 00:32:25.960
 certainty

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.540
 I have

00:32:26.540 --> 00:32:27.820
 in heaven

00:32:27.820 --> 00:32:28.240
 as my

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:28.480
 home

00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:28.759
 is that

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:29.019
 something

00:32:29.019 --> 00:32:29.220
 that

00:32:29.220 --> 00:32:29.560
 happened

00:32:29.560 --> 00:32:30.380
 or is it

00:32:30.380 --> 00:32:30.660
 something

00:32:30.660 --> 00:32:31.160
 well

00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:32.540
 I know

00:32:32.540 --> 00:32:32.980
 my mom

00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:33.320
 wants me

00:32:33.320 --> 00:32:33.519
 to go

00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:33.920
 to church

00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:34.360
 today

00:32:34.360 --> 00:32:36.740
 I'll go

00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:38.640
 I hope

00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:38.980
 that's not

00:32:38.980 --> 00:32:39.440
 the case

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:41.300
 I hope

00:32:41.300 --> 00:32:41.800
 that this

00:32:41.800 --> 00:32:42.140
 morning

00:32:42.140 --> 00:32:42.620
 is a day

00:32:42.620 --> 00:32:43.040
 when you

00:32:43.040 --> 00:32:43.560
 rejoice

00:32:43.560 --> 00:32:43.980
 in the

00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:44.440
 certainty

00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:45.380
 of Christ

00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:45.800
 as your

00:32:45.800 --> 00:32:46.180
 savior

00:32:46.180 --> 00:32:47.019
 and your

00:32:47.019 --> 00:32:47.640
 heart

00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:49.000
 reflects that

00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:49.559
 with the

00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:49.920
 joy

00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:50.440
 that

00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:50.680
 comes

00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:50.819
 from

00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:51.059
 him

00:32:51.059 --> 00:32:52.660
 if

00:32:52.660 --> 00:32:52.859
 you're

00:32:52.859 --> 00:32:53.019
 here

00:32:53.019 --> 00:32:53.420
 today

00:32:53.420 --> 00:32:54.599
 and the

00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:54.799
 truth

00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:54.940
 of the

00:32:54.940 --> 00:32:55.119
 matter

00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:55.460
 is

00:32:55.460 --> 00:32:55.779
 you've

00:32:55.779 --> 00:32:55.960
 never

00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:56.319
 come to

00:32:56.319 --> 00:32:56.759
 the place

00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:57.380
 where you

00:32:57.380 --> 00:32:57.960
 have trusted

00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:58.259
 in the

00:32:58.259 --> 00:32:58.819
 finished work

00:32:58.819 --> 00:32:59.339
 of Christ

00:32:59.339 --> 00:33:00.019
 let me

00:33:00.019 --> 00:33:00.480
 plead with

00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:00.579
 you

00:33:00.579 --> 00:33:00.960
 this is

00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:01.339
 the day

00:33:01.339 --> 00:33:01.640
 and this

00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:01.880
 is the

00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:02.240
 hour

00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:03.660
 there's

00:33:03.660 --> 00:33:03.960
 something

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:04.700
 serious

00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:06.079
 about

00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:06.539
 sitting

00:33:06.539 --> 00:33:06.940
 in the

00:33:06.940 --> 00:33:07.359
 presence

00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:07.839
 of a

00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:08.460
 gospel

00:33:08.460 --> 00:33:08.980
 witness

00:33:08.980 --> 00:33:10.059
 and saying

00:33:10.059 --> 00:33:10.480
 no

00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:10.880
 to the

00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:11.140
 face

00:33:11.140 --> 00:33:11.480
 of God

00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:11.640
 does

00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:11.740
 that

00:33:11.740 --> 00:33:11.859
 make

00:33:11.859 --> 00:33:12.200
 sense

00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:13.619
 here's

00:33:13.619 --> 00:33:13.920
 the truth

00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:14.259
 Jesus

00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:14.619
 died

00:33:14.619 --> 00:33:14.959
 for your

00:33:14.959 --> 00:33:15.319
 sins

00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:16.579
 he rose

00:33:16.579 --> 00:33:16.839
 again

00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:17.179
 to make

00:33:17.179 --> 00:33:17.659
 it clear

00:33:17.659 --> 00:33:18.559
 that his

00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:19.000
 death

00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:19.819
 was sufficient

00:33:19.819 --> 00:33:20.659
 to satisfy

00:33:20.659 --> 00:33:21.599
 the debt

00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:21.879
 you've

00:33:21.879 --> 00:33:22.299
 created

00:33:22.299 --> 00:33:22.939
 and for

00:33:22.939 --> 00:33:23.319
 you to

00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:23.799
 sit here

00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:24.339
 and to

00:33:24.339 --> 00:33:24.719
 listen

00:33:24.719 --> 00:33:25.399
 to the

00:33:25.399 --> 00:33:25.959
 reality

00:33:25.959 --> 00:33:26.319
 of what

00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:26.939
 the word

00:33:26.939 --> 00:33:27.279
 of God

00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:27.899
 tells you

00:33:27.899 --> 00:33:28.559
 about the

00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:29.119
 way things

00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:29.539
 are

00:33:29.539 --> 00:33:31.039
 and the

00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:31.319
 spirit

00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:31.719
 of God

00:33:31.719 --> 00:33:32.259
 is weighing

00:33:32.259 --> 00:33:32.699
 in and

00:33:32.699 --> 00:33:32.939
 saying

00:33:32.939 --> 00:33:33.279
 that's

00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:33.500
 true

00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:33.819
 that's

00:33:33.819 --> 00:33:34.000
 true

00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:34.339
 that's

00:33:34.339 --> 00:33:34.500
 true

00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:34.819
 that's

00:33:34.819 --> 00:33:35.139
 true

00:33:35.139 --> 00:33:37.119
 for you

00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:37.539
 to sit

00:33:37.539 --> 00:33:38.219
 and say

00:33:38.219 --> 00:33:38.799
 yeah

00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:39.419
 well

00:33:39.419 --> 00:33:40.579
 I don't

00:33:40.579 --> 00:33:40.959
 care

00:33:40.959 --> 00:33:42.599
 or I'm

00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:43.219
 not interested

00:33:43.219 --> 00:33:43.559
 in what

00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:44.199
 God has

00:33:44.199 --> 00:33:44.599
 for me

00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:45.980
 can I

00:33:45.980 --> 00:33:46.339
 tell you

00:33:46.339 --> 00:33:46.679
 that what

00:33:46.679 --> 00:33:47.199
 that does

00:33:47.199 --> 00:33:47.799
 is dial

00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:48.199
 up

00:33:48.199 --> 00:33:49.579
 God's

00:33:49.579 --> 00:33:50.059
 attention

00:33:50.059 --> 00:33:50.939
 to your

00:33:50.939 --> 00:33:51.299
 stubborn

00:33:51.299 --> 00:33:51.980
 and belligerent

00:33:51.980 --> 00:33:52.299
 heart

00:33:52.299 --> 00:33:53.879
 there is a

00:33:53.879 --> 00:33:54.299
 sense in

00:33:54.299 --> 00:33:54.740
 which it's

00:33:54.740 --> 00:33:55.379
 better to

00:33:55.379 --> 00:33:56.359
 not hear

00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:57.199
 the truth

00:33:57.199 --> 00:33:59.240
 than to

00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:00.159
 hear the

00:34:00.159 --> 00:34:00.559
 truth

00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:01.159
 declared

00:34:01.159 --> 00:34:01.699
 clearly

00:34:01.699 --> 00:34:02.980
 and snub

00:34:02.980 --> 00:34:03.859
 what God

00:34:03.859 --> 00:34:04.319
 has to

00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:04.679
 say

00:34:04.679 --> 00:34:06.879
 and I

00:34:06.879 --> 00:34:07.299
 would plead

00:34:07.299 --> 00:34:07.579
 with you

00:34:07.579 --> 00:34:08.059
 this morning

00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:08.400
 if you

00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:08.819
 are here

00:34:08.819 --> 00:34:09.139
 and do

00:34:09.139 --> 00:34:09.599
 not know

00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:10.019
 Christ

00:34:10.019 --> 00:34:10.839
 I would

00:34:10.839 --> 00:34:11.119
 plead

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:11.420
 with you

00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:12.119
 not to

00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:12.880
 walk away

00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:13.279
 with a

00:34:13.279 --> 00:34:13.880
 hard and

00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:14.320
 stubborn

00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:14.780
 heart

00:34:14.780 --> 00:34:15.400
 to the

00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:15.880
 gift

00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:16.220
 of

00:34:16.220 --> 00:34:17.180
 salvation

00:34:17.180 --> 00:34:17.660
 through the

00:34:17.660 --> 00:34:17.940
 finished

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:18.340
 work of

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:18.700
 Christ

00:34:18.700 --> 00:34:21.240
 we're going

00:34:21.240 --> 00:34:21.539
 to gather

00:34:21.539 --> 00:34:21.940
 together

00:34:21.940 --> 00:34:22.420
 to sing

00:34:22.420 --> 00:34:23.760
 we're going

00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:24.039
 to lift

00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:24.320
 up the

00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:24.660
 name of

00:34:24.660 --> 00:34:24.980
 Jesus

00:34:24.980 --> 00:34:26.519
 and as

00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:26.780
 we are

00:34:26.780 --> 00:34:27.400
 doing that

00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:27.740
 I want

00:34:27.740 --> 00:34:28.280
 to encourage

00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:28.480
 you

00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:28.960
 let's stand

00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:29.300
 together

00:34:29.300 --> 00:34:29.880
 as John

00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:30.360
 comes

00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:31.280
 but I want

00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:31.740
 to encourage

00:34:31.740 --> 00:34:32.380
 you as we

00:34:32.380 --> 00:34:33.000
 sing together

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:33.579
 this morning

00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:34.000
 I want you

00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:34.300
 to sit

00:34:34.300 --> 00:34:34.599
 there and

00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:34.860
 think to

00:34:34.860 --> 00:34:35.180
 yourself

00:34:35.180 --> 00:34:35.960
 do I

00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:36.160
 know

00:34:36.160 --> 00:34:36.519
 Christ

00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:36.920
 as my

00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:37.220
 savior

00:34:37.220 --> 00:34:37.680
 is he

00:34:37.680 --> 00:34:38.099
 the one

00:34:38.099 --> 00:34:38.680
 that I

00:34:38.680 --> 00:34:39.099
 rejoice

00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:39.400
 in

00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:39.980
 or is

00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:40.420
 this the

00:34:40.420 --> 00:34:40.940
 day that I

00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:41.440
 need to come

00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:41.880
 to grips

00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:42.579
 with the

00:34:42.579 --> 00:34:42.980
 darkness

00:34:42.980 --> 00:34:43.500
 of my

00:34:43.500 --> 00:34:43.860
 heart

00:34:43.860 --> 00:34:44.460
 and the
