00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.040
 So we're looking this evening in the first of two parts on humility.

00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:10.919
 So over the next few months, we're going to be looking at different aspects of Christian character.

00:00:11.540 --> 00:00:13.919
 And we are starting with humility.

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:15.780
 And we're starting there for a reason.

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.440
 And we're going to spend two weeks there for a reason as well.

00:00:18.900 --> 00:00:21.879
 And that is, I think, because of the central importance of humility

00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.100
 and how it relates to Christian character in general.

00:00:26.060 --> 00:00:28.300
 There was a guy called Andrew Murray,

00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:32.679
 not Andy Murray, the tennis player, but Andrew Murray, the theologian.

00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:37.539
 He was writing at the turn of the 20th century on a little book called Humility.

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.700
 It's a real gem of a book.

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.579
 And he says this about humility.

00:00:44.519 --> 00:00:48.299
 And you kind of have to get your way into thinking the kind of way these guys write.

00:00:48.460 --> 00:00:52.260
 OK, so it might take a little bit of time, but we've got a few quotes from Andrew Murray this evening.

00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:53.780
 So you will get into it by the end of the evening.

00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:54.519
 He says this.

00:00:54.520 --> 00:01:00.540
 Humility is the only soil in which the grace is root.

00:01:02.140 --> 00:01:08.579
 The lack of humility is the sufficient explanation of every defect and failure.

00:01:09.820 --> 00:01:14.480
 Humility is not so much a grace or virtue along with the others.

00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:26.219
 It is the root of all because it alone takes the right attitude before God and allows him as God to do all.

00:01:26.219 --> 00:01:32.140
 Now, that might not be the kind of language that we might use.

00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:42.439
 But his point is that humility is where everything else about Christian character grows out of.

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:51.920
 Humility is so central to our Christian lives that it is the grounds on which everything else grows.

00:01:52.060 --> 00:01:56.719
 And saying as well that everything that we don't do right is coming essentially from pride.

00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:03.319
 Now, maybe you think he's overstating it, but let me just try and prove it to you briefly just by the sheer weight of the topic in the Bible.

00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:10.680
 My concordance tells me that the word humble appears in the Bible 2,341 times.

00:02:11.299 --> 00:02:16.560
 On top of that, you could add all the condemnations of pride and you could add the words like meek or lowly.

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.740
 And what you find is that humility is a massive theme.

00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:22.759
 Let me just track through with a few passages.

00:02:22.859 --> 00:02:25.599
 I'm not going to turn to them, but hopefully they'll ring a bell.

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:34.340
 But humility or learning humility is given by God as the reason for the wilderness journey of the people of Israel.

00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:41.900
 In other words, God thought it so important that it worth 40 years wandering in the desert just to teach it.

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.340
 In 2 Samuel 22, verse 28, I think it's wrong on your handout.

00:02:46.340 --> 00:02:47.799
 It's actually 28 or 26.

00:02:47.979 --> 00:02:55.340
 David summarizes his experience of the Lord as being the one who saves the humble and condemns the proud.

00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.079
 In other words, humility is the outstanding marker of the people that God saves.

00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:01.799
 It is the thing that God is looking for.

00:03:02.699 --> 00:03:13.139
 It's a constant theme in Kings and Chronicles as kings refuse humbling from the hand of the Lord or less frequently do humble themselves before the Lord, like Hezekiah.

00:03:13.780 --> 00:03:19.659
 It's the rise and the fall of the nations as they variously recognize and refuse to recognize who they are before God.

00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:25.139
 Psalms alone speak of humility or better sing of humility regularly.

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:33.259
 Psalm 25, verse 9, we're told that God, He leads the humble in what is right and teaches the humble His way.

00:03:34.419 --> 00:03:39.979
 Towards the end of the Old Testament, the great intellect Daniel, who has risen to significant power in the nation of Babylon,

00:03:39.979 --> 00:03:47.199
 is commended not for his status or his influence or even the great achievements of his life, but is commended for his humility.

00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:52.439
 Micah tells us famously that humility is what God requires from His people.

00:03:52.439 --> 00:04:00.159
 If you jump into the New Testament, we're told that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was humble in Luke 1, 48.

00:04:00.579 --> 00:04:05.500
 We're told by Jesus that everyone who exalts himself, they will be humbled.

00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.379
 He says the same thing three times.

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.840
 Then in Matthew's Gospel, we're told that it is humble, childlike faith which saves.

00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:21.439
 James 4, verse 6, riffs off the Old Testament and Psalms saying again that God gives grace to the humble but opposes the proud.

00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.500
 And then in 1 Peter 5, you get this great verse,

00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:30.040
 humble yourselves therefore under God's mighty hand that He may lift you up in due time.

00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.800
 Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:36.500
 You know those things go together, don't they?

00:04:36.500 --> 00:04:42.360
 Humbling yourselves under the mighty hand of God is casting all your anxiety on Him.

00:04:42.459 --> 00:04:45.120
 It is handing it over to Him humbly before Him.

00:04:46.220 --> 00:04:48.779
 And on top of all of that, and maybe most significantly of all,

00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.660
 we are told over and over about the humility of Christ,

00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.660
 that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.420
 God the Eternal Son, leaving the glories of heaven,

00:04:57.420 --> 00:05:01.900
 revealing Himself in what is by definition humility,

00:05:02.520 --> 00:05:04.379
 stooping even to die on a cross,

00:05:04.640 --> 00:05:07.020
 not for His own sin but for the sin of others.

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:09.860
 Humbling Himself, becoming obedient to death,

00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:11.600
 even the death on a cross.

00:05:12.700 --> 00:05:16.740
 Now I'll stop there, but hopefully that's enough to persuade you that humility is important,

00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.080
 that it is the root of the graces,

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.300
 as Murray puts it at the beginning.

00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:23.800
 Now given its significance in the Bible,

00:05:23.939 --> 00:05:26.220
 Murray also has something else important to say.

00:05:26.220 --> 00:05:28.280
 This is what comes next in his book.

00:05:28.460 --> 00:05:28.800
 He says,

00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:34.080
 The call to humility has been too little regarded in the church

00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:38.540
 because its true nature and importance has been too little apprehended.

00:05:39.740 --> 00:05:45.320
 That's a better way of saying everyone's too stupid to realize how important humility is, right?

00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:48.360
 Now I wonder whether you agree with him.

00:05:48.900 --> 00:05:50.960
 So I want you just with the person next to you to discuss,

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:55.620
 do you agree that humility has been little regarded in the church?

00:05:56.220 --> 00:05:58.540
 Is humility something you've heard about often?

00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:01.220
 Do you think it's well understood?

00:06:02.220 --> 00:06:04.320
 Do you think it is preached about much?

00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:05.780
 Do you read about it much?

00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:06.360
 That kind of thing.

00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:08.960
 Talk to the person next to you just for a couple of minutes,

00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.079
 and then we'll bring our answers back together.

00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:11.819
 Go for it.

00:06:13.979 --> 00:06:15.519
 Does anyone want to share their answers?

00:06:15.599 --> 00:06:16.139
 What do we think?

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:17.799
 Important topic?

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:18.020
 Okay.

00:06:23.900 --> 00:06:24.220
 Okay.

00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:25.720
 One that we're familiar with.

00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:27.660
 We've talked often about this at church.

00:06:27.740 --> 00:06:28.199
 What do you think?

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:34.740
 You're all too humble to offer an answer, aren't you?

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:35.420
 This is the truth.

00:06:35.420 --> 00:06:40.640
 Sorry?

00:06:40.640 --> 00:06:40.699
 Yeah.

00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:46.060
 Yes.

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.080
 Let this mind be yours, which is also in Christ Jesus,

00:06:51.220 --> 00:06:52.319
 you being in very nature God.

00:06:52.420 --> 00:06:52.600
 Yeah.

00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:54.800
 We're often going on about that.

00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:04.360
 It's kind of so fundamental to Christian life,

00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:05.759
 how you relate to a child,

00:07:07.020 --> 00:07:08.340
 how you relate to God,

00:07:10.340 --> 00:07:12.800
 that you can't overstate it,

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:14.540
 and you can't preach it too much.

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:15.360
 Yeah.

00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:16.759
 And so,

00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:19.879
 as you pointed out,

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:20.600
 by the beginning,

00:07:20.900 --> 00:07:22.860
 it runs through Scripture so much.

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:23.340
 Yeah.

00:07:23.339 --> 00:07:23.839
 Yeah.

00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.279
 You can't preach it too much.

00:07:29.579 --> 00:07:31.259
 I think the problem we have

00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:33.979
 is not understanding it.

00:07:34.479 --> 00:07:34.919
 Yeah.

00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:37.519
 Yeah.

00:07:38.699 --> 00:07:41.699
 It's not the sort of cognitive understanding of it,

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.019
 it's the putting it into practice.

00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:47.859
 If I was to ask you

00:07:47.859 --> 00:07:49.439
 how

00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.679
 justification

00:07:51.679 --> 00:07:52.419
 is

00:07:53.339 --> 00:07:54.339
 connects with

00:07:54.339 --> 00:07:56.079
 sanctification,

00:07:57.019 --> 00:07:58.319
 what would you say?

00:07:58.879 --> 00:07:59.000
 So,

00:07:59.119 --> 00:07:59.560
 justification

00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.279
 is the idea that God

00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.719
 declares us not guilty

00:08:03.719 --> 00:08:05.539
 through Christ's work on the cross.

00:08:06.579 --> 00:08:07.219
 Sanctification

00:08:07.219 --> 00:08:10.179
 is about us being made

00:08:10.179 --> 00:08:11.299
 holy by God.

00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:13.120
 Do we understand

00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:14.100
 how those two things

00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:15.660
 connect together?

00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:16.180
 Okay.

00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:18.759
 Christians often think

00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:19.840
 that God

00:08:19.840 --> 00:08:21.379
 saves them

00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:22.600
 by the blood of Jesus

00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:23.620
 on their behalf.

00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:24.939
 We are covered

00:08:24.939 --> 00:08:26.160
 with the righteousness of Christ.

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:27.540
 We're justified by Jesus.

00:08:27.540 --> 00:08:28.460
 And then think,

00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:30.220
 but I grow as a Christian

00:08:30.220 --> 00:08:31.259
 by my works

00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:32.519
 and by my efforts.

00:08:33.379 --> 00:08:33.519
 Right?

00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.019
 And so,

00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:35.439
 therefore,

00:08:35.439 --> 00:08:36.819
 if I'm growing as a Christian

00:08:36.819 --> 00:08:37.919
 and doing quite well,

00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:39.559
 it's because I'm working quite well

00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.159
 and I should be quite proud of that.

00:08:41.980 --> 00:08:42.240
 And so,

00:08:42.319 --> 00:08:43.299
 we don't grow in humility.

00:08:43.460 --> 00:08:45.100
 We sort of grow in self-confidence,

00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:45.620
 pride.

00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:46.519
 But actually,

00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:47.299
 the Bible says

00:08:47.299 --> 00:08:48.759
 those two things go together.

00:08:48.980 --> 00:08:49.159
 Okay?

00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:49.879
 So,

00:08:49.959 --> 00:08:50.740
 our justification

00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:52.240
 and our sanctification

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.419
 go together.

00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:54.439
 They are distinct

00:08:54.439 --> 00:08:55.000
 from one another,

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.679
 but you can't separate them apart

00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:57.860
 because they come together.

00:08:58.439 --> 00:08:58.719
 So,

00:08:58.819 --> 00:08:59.579
 we are declared

00:08:59.579 --> 00:09:01.240
 righteous in the Lord Jesus

00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.299
 and we are made holy

00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:04.199
 by the Holy Spirit.

00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.579
 And the growth

00:09:06.579 --> 00:09:07.339
 in holiness

00:09:07.339 --> 00:09:08.059
 as a Christian

00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:09.019
 is becoming

00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:10.779
 who I already am

00:09:10.779 --> 00:09:11.759
 in Christ.

00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:12.399
 It's the

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:13.759
 kind of

00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.059
 taking on

00:09:15.059 --> 00:09:16.039
 who I am

00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:16.759
 as my identity

00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:17.319
 in Christ.

00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:18.000
 It's becoming

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.039
 who I will be

00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.019
 or who I already

00:09:20.019 --> 00:09:20.860
 am in Christ.

00:09:21.500 --> 00:09:21.919
 And so,

00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:22.799
 both of those things

00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:23.519
 are rooted

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.839
 in the work of Christ.

00:09:25.319 --> 00:09:25.459
 So,

00:09:25.539 --> 00:09:26.039
 both of them

00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:27.579
 are humbling,

00:09:27.819 --> 00:09:27.980
 right?

00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:28.279
 Because

00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:29.659
 to be justified

00:09:29.659 --> 00:09:30.579
 by faith in Jesus

00:09:30.579 --> 00:09:31.399
 is to declare

00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:32.379
 I have nothing

00:09:32.379 --> 00:09:33.339
 of my own

00:09:33.339 --> 00:09:33.860
 to offer

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:34.599
 to my salvation.

00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:35.419
 I am trusting

00:09:35.419 --> 00:09:35.879
 and relying

00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:36.779
 on Christ alone.

00:09:37.299 --> 00:09:38.539
 To grow in sanctification

00:09:38.539 --> 00:09:39.360
 is to say

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.120
 all I can do

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.079
 is become

00:09:42.079 --> 00:09:42.839
 the person

00:09:42.839 --> 00:09:43.299
 that God

00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:44.059
 has already

00:09:44.059 --> 00:09:45.139
 made me to be.

00:09:46.139 --> 00:09:46.539
 And so,

00:09:46.579 --> 00:09:47.199
 it's humbling,

00:09:47.379 --> 00:09:47.620
 right?

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:48.860
 And so,

00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:49.719
 because those

00:09:49.719 --> 00:09:50.219
 things are

00:09:50.219 --> 00:09:50.860
 linked together,

00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:52.259
 being humble

00:09:52.259 --> 00:09:53.179
 is right at the

00:09:53.179 --> 00:09:53.599
 heart of the

00:09:53.599 --> 00:09:54.480
 Christian life.

00:09:55.099 --> 00:09:55.339
 And so,

00:09:55.459 --> 00:09:56.819
 growing in humility

00:09:56.819 --> 00:09:58.079
 is growing

00:09:58.079 --> 00:09:58.939
 as a Christian.

00:10:00.079 --> 00:10:00.339
 Now,

00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:01.339
 generalizations

00:10:01.339 --> 00:10:01.839
 aren't always

00:10:01.839 --> 00:10:02.099
 helpful,

00:10:02.199 --> 00:10:02.719
 but I do think

00:10:02.719 --> 00:10:03.299
 this one is

00:10:03.299 --> 00:10:03.519
 helpful.

00:10:03.599 --> 00:10:04.079
 It belongs to

00:10:04.079 --> 00:10:04.539
 Andrew Murray

00:10:04.539 --> 00:10:04.779
 anyway,

00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:05.240
 not me.

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.139
 He says that

00:10:06.139 --> 00:10:06.620
 basically,

00:10:07.259 --> 00:10:08.139
 the Bible

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:08.559
 gives you

00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.179
 three reasons

00:10:10.179 --> 00:10:11.019
 to be humble.

00:10:11.579 --> 00:10:12.000
 Firstly,

00:10:12.079 --> 00:10:12.620
 he says that

00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:13.079
 you should be

00:10:13.079 --> 00:10:14.039
 humble because

00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:15.639
 we are creatures

00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:16.519
 who did not

00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:17.460
 create ourselves,

00:10:18.199 --> 00:10:18.659
 so therefore

00:10:18.659 --> 00:10:19.000
 we owe

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:19.559
 everything of

00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:20.120
 our existence

00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:20.639
 to God

00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:21.100
 himself.

00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.120
 And secondly,

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:23.659
 we should be

00:10:23.659 --> 00:10:24.120
 humble because

00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:25.259
 we are sinners.

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:25.980
 We are people

00:10:25.980 --> 00:10:26.740
 who have rebelled

00:10:26.740 --> 00:10:27.279
 against God

00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:27.539
 and we've

00:10:27.539 --> 00:10:28.080
 gone our own

00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:28.419
 way.

00:10:29.059 --> 00:10:29.860
 And thirdly,

00:10:29.860 --> 00:10:30.279
 we should be

00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:30.759
 humble because

00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:31.620
 we are recipients

00:10:31.620 --> 00:10:33.439
 of the saving

00:10:33.439 --> 00:10:34.120
 grace of the

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:34.480
 Lord Jesus

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:35.000
 Christ.

00:10:35.379 --> 00:10:35.679
 In other

00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:35.899
 words,

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.139
 we are made,

00:10:38.259 --> 00:10:38.639
 we're not our

00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:38.939
 own,

00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:39.639
 we're sinners,

00:10:39.779 --> 00:10:40.179
 we're rebels,

00:10:40.319 --> 00:10:41.200
 and we're saved

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:41.720
 even though we're

00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:42.220
 undeserving.

00:10:42.319 --> 00:10:42.740
 And all those

00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:43.319
 three things

00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:44.080
 are humbling.

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:44.840
 What I want

00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:45.220
 to try and

00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:46.240
 do is take

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.200
 creation tonight

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:48.420
 and then take

00:10:48.420 --> 00:10:49.260
 sin and

00:10:49.260 --> 00:10:50.520
 salvation next

00:10:50.520 --> 00:10:51.280
 Sunday evening

00:10:51.280 --> 00:10:51.940
 if I can.

00:10:53.140 --> 00:10:53.920
 So here's the

00:10:53.920 --> 00:10:54.500
 question for us

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:54.879
 this evening.

00:10:55.040 --> 00:10:55.520
 What does it

00:10:55.520 --> 00:10:56.120
 mean to be

00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:57.120
 humble as

00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:58.040
 creatures?

00:10:58.280 --> 00:10:58.660
 Joe, just get

00:10:58.660 --> 00:10:59.100
 yourself a chair.

00:10:59.180 --> 00:10:59.460
 That's fine.

00:11:01.560 --> 00:11:02.300
 You stacked

00:11:02.300 --> 00:11:02.800
 all the chairs

00:11:02.800 --> 00:11:03.160
 this morning,

00:11:03.260 --> 00:11:03.660
 Joe, so you

00:11:03.660 --> 00:11:04.379
 can unstack a

00:11:04.379 --> 00:11:04.680
 chair for

00:11:04.680 --> 00:11:05.020
 yourself.

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:05.420
 That's right.

00:11:07.260 --> 00:11:07.780
 In other

00:11:07.780 --> 00:11:08.180
 words, what is

00:11:08.180 --> 00:11:09.120
 it about just

00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.120
 being created

00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:11.120
 outside of any

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.440
 sin or grace

00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:12.900
 that means

00:11:12.899 --> 00:11:13.759
 humility is

00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:14.500
 right for us.

00:11:14.659 --> 00:11:14.899
 And to

00:11:14.899 --> 00:11:15.379
 consider that,

00:11:15.439 --> 00:11:15.740
 I want us

00:11:15.740 --> 00:11:16.179
 to look at

00:11:16.179 --> 00:11:16.840
 Revelation 4.

00:11:16.959 --> 00:11:17.840
 I think, is it

00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:18.319
 on your handout?

00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:19.019
 Revelation 4?

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:19.319
 Great.

00:11:20.299 --> 00:11:21.319
 Let me read

00:11:21.319 --> 00:11:22.139
 it to you.

00:11:25.220 --> 00:11:26.419
 After this, I

00:11:26.419 --> 00:11:27.579
 looked, and

00:11:27.579 --> 00:11:28.319
 there before me

00:11:28.319 --> 00:11:29.000
 was a door

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.039
 standing open

00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:30.620
 in heaven.

00:11:31.199 --> 00:11:31.639
 And the

00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:32.360
 voice I had

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:33.899
 first heard

00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:34.639
 speaking to

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:35.740
 me, like a

00:11:35.740 --> 00:11:36.620
 trumpet, said,

00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:37.759
 come up here

00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:38.439
 and I will

00:11:38.439 --> 00:11:39.100
 show you what

00:11:39.100 --> 00:11:39.519
 must take

00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:40.199
 place after

00:11:40.199 --> 00:11:40.720
 this.

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.419
 At once, I

00:11:42.419 --> 00:11:42.860
 was in the

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:43.219
 spirit.

00:11:43.719 --> 00:11:44.099
 And there

00:11:44.099 --> 00:11:44.620
 before me

00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:44.959
 was a

00:11:44.959 --> 00:11:45.579
 throne in

00:11:45.579 --> 00:11:46.099
 heaven with

00:11:46.099 --> 00:11:47.059
 someone sitting

00:11:47.059 --> 00:11:47.599
 on it.

00:11:48.079 --> 00:11:48.379
 And the

00:11:48.379 --> 00:11:49.039
 one who sat

00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:49.419
 there had

00:11:49.419 --> 00:11:49.939
 the appearance

00:11:49.939 --> 00:11:50.740
 of jasper

00:11:50.740 --> 00:11:51.439
 and ruby,

00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:52.719
 a rainbow

00:11:52.719 --> 00:11:53.459
 that shone

00:11:53.459 --> 00:11:53.860
 like an

00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:54.219
 emerald

00:11:54.219 --> 00:11:54.879
 encircled

00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:55.479
 the throne.

00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:56.699
 Surrounding the

00:11:56.699 --> 00:11:57.120
 throne were

00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:57.919
 twenty-four

00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:58.759
 other thrones

00:11:58.759 --> 00:11:59.439
 and seated

00:11:59.439 --> 00:12:00.019
 on them

00:12:00.019 --> 00:12:01.379
 were twenty-four

00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:01.819
 elders.

00:12:02.539 --> 00:12:02.919
 They were

00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:03.599
 dressed in

00:12:03.599 --> 00:12:04.299
 white and

00:12:04.299 --> 00:12:05.279
 had crowns

00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:06.439
 of gold on

00:12:06.439 --> 00:12:07.059
 their heads.

00:12:07.699 --> 00:12:08.199
 From the

00:12:08.199 --> 00:12:09.099
 throne came

00:12:09.099 --> 00:12:10.000
 flashes of

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:10.519
 lightning,

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:11.919
 rumblings and

00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:12.480
 peals of

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:12.799
 thunder.

00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:13.899
 In front of

00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:14.379
 the throne

00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:15.379
 seven lamps

00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:16.059
 were blazing.

00:12:16.659 --> 00:12:17.340
 These are the

00:12:17.340 --> 00:12:18.000
 seven spirits

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:18.519
 of God.

00:12:19.259 --> 00:12:20.179
 Also in front

00:12:20.179 --> 00:12:20.819
 of the throne

00:12:20.819 --> 00:12:21.840
 there was what

00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:22.579
 looked like a

00:12:22.579 --> 00:12:23.519
 sea of glass

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:24.000
 clear as

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:24.379
 crystal.

00:12:25.199 --> 00:12:25.579
 In the

00:12:25.579 --> 00:12:26.319
 centre around

00:12:26.319 --> 00:12:26.819
 the throne

00:12:26.819 --> 00:12:27.559
 were four

00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:28.319
 living creatures

00:12:28.319 --> 00:12:28.840
 and they were

00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:29.279
 covered with

00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:30.299
 eyes in front

00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:31.279
 and in back.

00:12:31.699 --> 00:12:32.220
 The first

00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:32.779
 living creature

00:12:32.779 --> 00:12:33.419
 was like a

00:12:33.419 --> 00:12:34.299
 lion, the

00:12:34.299 --> 00:12:34.799
 second was

00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:35.600
 like an ox,

00:12:35.899 --> 00:12:36.460
 the third had

00:12:36.460 --> 00:12:37.220
 a face like a

00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:37.740
 man, the

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.960
 fourth was like

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:39.960
 a flying eagle.

00:12:40.540 --> 00:12:41.180
 Each of the

00:12:41.180 --> 00:12:41.639
 four living

00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:42.300
 creatures had

00:12:42.300 --> 00:12:43.280
 six wings and

00:12:43.280 --> 00:12:43.820
 was covered

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:44.700
 with eyes all

00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:45.860
 around, even

00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:46.460
 under its

00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:46.980
 wings.

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:48.360
 Day and

00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:49.000
 night they

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:49.759
 never stopped

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:50.259
 saying,

00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:51.560
 holy, holy,

00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.180
 holy is the

00:12:53.180 --> 00:12:53.620
 Lord God

00:12:53.620 --> 00:12:54.860
 Almighty who

00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:56.139
 was and is

00:12:56.139 --> 00:12:57.220
 and is to

00:12:57.220 --> 00:12:57.600
 come.

00:12:58.580 --> 00:12:59.259
 Whenever the

00:12:59.259 --> 00:13:00.019
 living creatures

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:00.980
 give glory,

00:13:01.580 --> 00:13:02.160
 honour and

00:13:02.160 --> 00:13:02.920
 thanks to him

00:13:02.920 --> 00:13:03.540
 who sits on

00:13:03.540 --> 00:13:04.080
 the throne and

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:04.480
 who lives

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:05.080
 forever and

00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:05.840
 ever, the

00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:06.440
 twenty-four

00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:07.240
 elders fall

00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:07.920
 down before

00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:08.459
 him who

00:13:08.459 --> 00:13:08.959
 sits on

00:13:08.959 --> 00:13:09.339
 the throne

00:13:09.339 --> 00:13:10.099
 and worship

00:13:10.099 --> 00:13:10.599
 him who

00:13:10.599 --> 00:13:11.219
 lives forever

00:13:11.219 --> 00:13:11.579
 and ever,

00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:12.819
 they lay

00:13:12.819 --> 00:13:13.679
 their crowns

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:14.179
 before the

00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:14.779
 throne and

00:13:14.779 --> 00:13:16.120
 say, you

00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:16.979
 are worthy,

00:13:17.219 --> 00:13:17.979
 O Lord and

00:13:17.979 --> 00:13:18.519
 God, to

00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:19.599
 receive glory

00:13:19.599 --> 00:13:20.399
 and honour

00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:21.240
 and power,

00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:22.379
 for you

00:13:22.379 --> 00:13:23.459
 created all

00:13:23.459 --> 00:13:24.399
 things and

00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:25.039
 by your

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.539
 will they

00:13:25.539 --> 00:13:26.240
 were created

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:26.860
 and have

00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:27.419
 their being.

00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:30.779
 Now, we're

00:13:30.779 --> 00:13:31.139
 not going to

00:13:31.139 --> 00:13:31.699
 go through all

00:13:31.699 --> 00:13:32.240
 of that in

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:33.319
 extreme detail,

00:13:33.439 --> 00:13:33.759
 but verse

00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:34.360
 four tells you,

00:13:34.439 --> 00:13:34.699
 doesn't it,

00:13:34.719 --> 00:13:35.079
 that there are

00:13:35.079 --> 00:13:35.799
 twenty-four

00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:36.620
 elders around

00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:37.899
 the throne,

00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.539
 telling us

00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:39.799
 that they're

00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:40.360
 clothed in

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:41.059
 white garments

00:13:41.059 --> 00:13:41.899
 with golden

00:13:41.899 --> 00:13:42.639
 crowns on

00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:43.139
 their head.

00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:44.219
 Exactly who

00:13:44.219 --> 00:13:45.299
 they are is

00:13:45.299 --> 00:13:46.039
 not super

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:46.360
 clear.

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:46.919
 Theologians

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:47.339
 have taken

00:13:47.339 --> 00:13:47.719
 lots of

00:13:47.719 --> 00:13:48.279
 different guesses,

00:13:48.579 --> 00:13:49.159
 twenty-four

00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:49.519
 heavenly

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.939
 priests following

00:13:50.939 --> 00:13:51.639
 the twenty-four

00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:52.159
 high priests

00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:52.519
 of the Old

00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:52.839
 Testament,

00:13:53.199 --> 00:13:54.439
 or twelve

00:13:54.439 --> 00:13:55.059
 Old Testament

00:13:55.059 --> 00:13:55.860
 tribes plus

00:13:55.860 --> 00:13:56.299
 twelve

00:13:56.299 --> 00:13:56.719
 apostles,

00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:57.899
 or something

00:13:57.899 --> 00:13:59.039
 else relating

00:13:59.039 --> 00:13:59.339
 to the

00:13:59.339 --> 00:13:59.939
 significance of

00:13:59.939 --> 00:14:00.319
 the white

00:14:00.319 --> 00:14:00.899
 robes in

00:14:00.899 --> 00:14:01.459
 pagan culture.

00:14:01.599 --> 00:14:01.839
 I don't think

00:14:01.839 --> 00:14:02.379
 that's probably

00:14:02.379 --> 00:14:02.639
 right.

00:14:03.819 --> 00:14:04.620
 But which

00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:05.399
 exactly is,

00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:05.759
 we're not

00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:06.279
 sure.

00:14:06.579 --> 00:14:06.740
 But I'm

00:14:06.740 --> 00:14:07.199
 not actually

00:14:07.199 --> 00:14:07.539
 thinking that's

00:14:07.539 --> 00:14:08.419
 the important

00:14:08.419 --> 00:14:08.980
 point of the

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:09.279
 verses,

00:14:09.439 --> 00:14:09.759
 because for

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:10.259
 the purposes

00:14:10.259 --> 00:14:10.679
 of the

00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:11.059
 passage,

00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:11.919
 who the

00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:12.959
 elders are

00:14:12.959 --> 00:14:13.259
 is not

00:14:13.259 --> 00:14:13.779
 significant.

00:14:14.059 --> 00:14:14.639
 It's because

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:16.319
 of not who

00:14:16.319 --> 00:14:16.740
 they are,

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:17.100
 but because

00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:17.519
 of what

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:18.240
 they're doing,

00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:18.559
 right?

00:14:19.139 --> 00:14:19.559
 You have a

00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:19.799
 look at the

00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:20.079
 passage.

00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:21.199
 Notice in

00:14:21.199 --> 00:14:21.559
 verse eight,

00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:22.240
 the four living

00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:22.579
 creatures,

00:14:22.699 --> 00:14:23.179
 the lion,

00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:24.039
 the ox,

00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:24.459
 the man,

00:14:24.500 --> 00:14:24.980
 and the eagle,

00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:25.620
 representatives

00:14:25.620 --> 00:14:26.620
 of the creation,

00:14:26.819 --> 00:14:27.100
 I think the

00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:27.759
 four corners

00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:28.259
 of the earth,

00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:29.439
 are all caught

00:14:29.439 --> 00:14:30.019
 up in this

00:14:30.019 --> 00:14:31.079
 perpetual song

00:14:31.079 --> 00:14:31.439
 about the

00:14:31.439 --> 00:14:31.980
 holiness of

00:14:31.980 --> 00:14:32.220
 God.

00:14:32.699 --> 00:14:33.100
 Holy,

00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:33.919
 holy,

00:14:34.079 --> 00:14:34.319
 holy,

00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:36.460
 holy,

00:14:36.460 --> 00:14:34.879
 they sing.

00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:37.040
 Three times

00:14:37.040 --> 00:14:37.360
 holy,

00:14:37.520 --> 00:14:38.060
 set apart

00:14:38.060 --> 00:14:38.560
 special

00:14:38.560 --> 00:14:39.160
 difference.

00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:39.900
 And the

00:14:39.900 --> 00:14:40.180
 song of

00:14:40.180 --> 00:14:40.500
 the four

00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:40.660
 living

00:14:40.660 --> 00:14:41.000
 creatures

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:41.420
 is then

00:14:41.420 --> 00:14:41.900
 the trigger

00:14:41.900 --> 00:14:42.220
 for the

00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:42.780
 action of

00:14:42.780 --> 00:14:43.420
 the 24

00:14:43.420 --> 00:14:43.960
 elders,

00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:44.440
 who on

00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:45.340
 hearing this

00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:45.820
 song,

00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:47.340
 fall down

00:14:47.340 --> 00:14:47.780
 before the

00:14:47.780 --> 00:14:48.140
 throne of

00:14:48.140 --> 00:14:48.320
 God,

00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:49.120
 worshipping

00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:49.540
 him in

00:14:49.540 --> 00:14:49.879
 the song

00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:50.200
 of verse

00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:50.600
 11,

00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:51.620
 worthy of

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:51.800
 you,

00:14:51.900 --> 00:14:52.220
 O Lord,

00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:52.740
 to receive

00:14:52.740 --> 00:14:53.280
 glory and

00:14:53.280 --> 00:14:53.580
 honour and

00:14:53.580 --> 00:14:53.820
 power,

00:14:53.900 --> 00:14:54.080
 for you

00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:54.760
 created all

00:14:54.760 --> 00:14:55.020
 things,

00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:55.340
 and by

00:14:55.340 --> 00:14:55.720
 your will

00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:56.260
 they existed

00:14:56.260 --> 00:14:56.560
 and were

00:14:56.560 --> 00:14:56.980
 created.

00:14:57.680 --> 00:14:57.980
 But notice

00:14:57.980 --> 00:14:58.300
 what they

00:14:58.300 --> 00:14:58.660
 do as

00:14:58.660 --> 00:14:59.140
 they worship.

00:14:59.460 --> 00:14:59.740
 What are

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:00.100
 they doing

00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:00.360
 as they

00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:00.560
 worship?

00:15:00.620 --> 00:15:00.780
 What are

00:15:00.780 --> 00:15:01.300
 they saying?

00:15:01.299 --> 00:15:02.319
 They fall

00:15:02.319 --> 00:15:02.719
 down before

00:15:02.719 --> 00:15:03.099
 the throne

00:15:03.099 --> 00:15:03.819
 and they

00:15:03.819 --> 00:15:06.719
 cast their

00:15:06.719 --> 00:15:07.419
 crowns

00:15:07.419 --> 00:15:07.939
 before the

00:15:07.939 --> 00:15:08.299
 throne.

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:09.419
 Do you

00:15:09.419 --> 00:15:09.939
 see this?

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.539
 Singing of

00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:12.259
 the worthiness

00:15:12.259 --> 00:15:12.579
 of the

00:15:12.579 --> 00:15:13.099
 creator,

00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:14.219
 or to put

00:15:14.219 --> 00:15:14.559
 it in the

00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:15.199
 language of

00:15:15.199 --> 00:15:15.539
 our topic

00:15:15.539 --> 00:15:16.000
 this evening,

00:15:16.259 --> 00:15:17.039
 recognising

00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:18.599
 the creatureliness

00:15:18.599 --> 00:15:20.240
 is accompanied

00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:20.799
 by the

00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:21.639
 removal of

00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:22.319
 the crown.

00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:24.199
 This is

00:15:24.199 --> 00:15:25.139
 the word

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:26.039
 Stephanos in

00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:26.379
 the Greek

00:15:26.379 --> 00:15:26.919
 from which

00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:27.219
 Stephen

00:15:27.219 --> 00:15:27.599
 comes,

00:15:27.719 --> 00:15:27.859
 right?

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:29.000
 This is the

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:29.679
 crown,

00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:30.159
 not of

00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:30.639
 royalty,

00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:31.059
 it's the

00:15:31.059 --> 00:15:31.580
 crown of

00:15:31.580 --> 00:15:32.439
 victory,

00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:33.100
 Olympic

00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:33.819
 crowns from

00:15:33.819 --> 00:15:34.399
 the successes

00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:34.779
 of their

00:15:34.779 --> 00:15:35.240
 achievements.

00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:37.480
 And what's

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.139
 the significance

00:15:38.139 --> 00:15:38.699
 of this?

00:15:38.899 --> 00:15:39.580
 This is not

00:15:39.580 --> 00:15:40.279
 just an act

00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:40.860
 of deference,

00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:41.460
 this is not

00:15:41.460 --> 00:15:42.480
 like donning

00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:43.039
 your cap

00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:43.439
 at someone

00:15:43.439 --> 00:15:43.879
 on your way

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:44.179
 into the

00:15:44.179 --> 00:15:44.500
 pub or

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:44.720
 whatever,

00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:45.799
 it's more

00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:46.360
 than that.

00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:47.819
 It is in

00:15:47.819 --> 00:15:48.279
 the sense

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:48.879
 that the

00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:50.220
 removal of

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:51.019
 any sense

00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:51.639
 of human

00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:53.179
 victory in

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:53.759
 front of

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:54.080
 the one

00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:54.860
 who created

00:15:54.860 --> 00:15:56.179
 you and

00:15:56.179 --> 00:15:57.019
 all things.

00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:57.659
 It's the

00:15:57.659 --> 00:15:58.139
 recognition,

00:15:58.340 --> 00:15:58.580
 isn't it,

00:15:58.580 --> 00:15:59.000
 that the

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.399
 crown that

00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:00.740
 is on

00:16:00.740 --> 00:16:01.379
 their heads

00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:01.659
 for the

00:16:01.659 --> 00:16:01.959
 things that

00:16:01.959 --> 00:16:02.199
 they have

00:16:02.199 --> 00:16:02.459
 done,

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:03.379
 rightly

00:16:03.379 --> 00:16:04.059
 belongs to

00:16:04.059 --> 00:16:04.759
 the creator

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:05.779
 and not

00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:06.299
 to them.

00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:08.559
 Creatures,

00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:10.039
 just because

00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:10.600
 they're creatures

00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:11.559
 understand that

00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:12.360
 their creator

00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:13.299
 is the crown

00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:14.600
 wearer and

00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:15.159
 not them.

00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:17.620
 Here's

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:18.179
 Murray again.

00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:19.939
 Humility is

00:16:19.939 --> 00:16:20.579
 not something

00:16:20.579 --> 00:16:21.500
 we bring to

00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:22.860
 God or he

00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:23.439
 gives to

00:16:23.439 --> 00:16:23.919
 us.

00:16:24.439 --> 00:16:24.960
 It is

00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:25.579
 simply the

00:16:25.579 --> 00:16:26.100
 sense of

00:16:26.100 --> 00:16:26.860
 entire

00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:27.939
 nothingness,

00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:29.120
 which comes

00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:29.660
 when we

00:16:29.660 --> 00:16:30.860
 see how

00:16:30.860 --> 00:16:31.740
 truly God

00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:32.560
 is all

00:16:32.560 --> 00:16:33.280
 and in

00:16:33.280 --> 00:16:33.720
 which we

00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:34.440
 make way

00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:34.880
 for God

00:16:34.880 --> 00:16:35.340
 to be

00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:35.740
 all.

00:16:36.420 --> 00:16:36.940
 Humility

00:16:36.940 --> 00:16:37.940
 is simply

00:16:37.940 --> 00:16:38.600
 acknowledging

00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:39.180
 the truth

00:16:39.180 --> 00:16:39.560
 of his

00:16:39.560 --> 00:16:40.780
 position as

00:16:40.780 --> 00:16:42.000
 creature and

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:42.800
 yielding to

00:16:42.800 --> 00:16:43.400
 God his

00:16:43.400 --> 00:16:44.000
 place.

00:16:45.280 --> 00:16:46.120
 You are

00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:46.500
 God.

00:16:47.060 --> 00:16:47.720
 I am

00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:48.120
 not.

00:16:48.800 --> 00:16:49.480
 Anything I

00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:50.040
 have achieved

00:16:50.040 --> 00:16:50.740
 belongs to

00:16:50.740 --> 00:16:51.020
 you.

00:16:51.220 --> 00:16:51.920
 All that I

00:16:51.920 --> 00:16:52.520
 am is

00:16:52.520 --> 00:16:53.040
 yours.

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:54.140
 I have

00:16:54.140 --> 00:16:54.740
 nothing that

00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:55.180
 I have not

00:16:55.180 --> 00:16:55.720
 been given.

00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:56.720
 I have

00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:57.240
 no honor

00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:57.740
 of my

00:16:57.740 --> 00:16:58.580
 own except

00:16:58.580 --> 00:16:59.180
 that which

00:16:59.180 --> 00:16:59.800
 comes from

00:16:59.800 --> 00:17:00.480
 you as a

00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:01.420
 gift as

00:17:01.420 --> 00:17:02.100
 my creator.

00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:04.019
 So perfect

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:05.259
 creatures, and

00:17:05.259 --> 00:17:05.779
 that's what we

00:17:05.779 --> 00:17:06.180
 can say of

00:17:06.180 --> 00:17:06.740
 these 24

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:07.380
 elders before

00:17:07.380 --> 00:17:07.799
 the throne,

00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:08.319
 perfect

00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:10.059
 creatures throw

00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:10.860
 their crowns

00:17:10.860 --> 00:17:11.240
 before their

00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:11.700
 creator.

00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:13.039
 So don't

00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:13.220
 you think

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:13.579
 you should?

00:17:15.360 --> 00:17:16.200
 They only

00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:16.860
 ever had the

00:17:16.860 --> 00:17:17.319
 crown on

00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:17.759
 alone.

00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:21.640
 Now, let

00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:22.839
 me try and

00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:23.980
 unpack this in

00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:24.759
 three different

00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:25.140
 ways.

00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:25.759
 how do we

00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:26.660
 see our

00:17:26.660 --> 00:17:27.280
 creatureliness

00:17:27.280 --> 00:17:28.580
 before the

00:17:28.580 --> 00:17:29.220
 creator God?

00:17:29.259 --> 00:17:29.460
 And we'll

00:17:29.460 --> 00:17:29.840
 try and deal

00:17:29.840 --> 00:17:30.160
 with these

00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:30.440
 reasonably

00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:30.840
 quickly.

00:17:31.860 --> 00:17:32.540
 Consider your

00:17:32.540 --> 00:17:33.400
 creatureliness

00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:34.720
 in the

00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:35.400
 aspect of

00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:35.600
 your

00:17:35.600 --> 00:17:36.240
 knowledge.

00:17:38.060 --> 00:17:38.460
 I don't

00:17:38.460 --> 00:17:38.640
 know if

00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:38.840
 you're one

00:17:38.840 --> 00:17:39.020
 of those

00:17:39.020 --> 00:17:39.360
 people who

00:17:39.360 --> 00:17:39.820
 likes to

00:17:39.820 --> 00:17:40.180
 be in

00:17:40.180 --> 00:17:40.640
 the know.

00:17:41.020 --> 00:17:41.320
 Are you

00:17:41.320 --> 00:17:41.900
 someone who

00:17:41.900 --> 00:17:42.360
 likes to

00:17:42.360 --> 00:17:42.600
 be in

00:17:42.600 --> 00:17:42.800
 the know?

00:17:42.840 --> 00:17:43.060
 You like

00:17:43.060 --> 00:17:43.340
 to feel

00:17:43.340 --> 00:17:43.580
 like you

00:17:43.580 --> 00:17:43.840
 know

00:17:43.840 --> 00:17:44.980
 stuff and

00:17:44.980 --> 00:17:45.240
 that you

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:45.720
 understand

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:46.259
 stuff?

00:17:46.380 --> 00:17:46.560
 Maybe

00:17:46.560 --> 00:17:46.840
 you're the

00:17:46.840 --> 00:17:47.140
 kid in

00:17:47.140 --> 00:17:47.540
 class who

00:17:47.540 --> 00:17:47.820
 likes to

00:17:47.820 --> 00:17:48.020
 have all

00:17:48.020 --> 00:17:48.400
 the answers.

00:17:48.520 --> 00:17:48.620
 Is that

00:17:48.620 --> 00:17:48.820
 right?

00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:50.360
 Yeah, I

00:17:50.360 --> 00:17:50.800
 want to be

00:17:50.800 --> 00:17:51.160
 the one that

00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:51.660
 people turn

00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:52.360
 to and that

00:17:52.360 --> 00:17:52.900
 they think

00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:53.480
 has got some

00:17:55.140 --> 00:17:55.540
 knowledge puts

00:17:55.540 --> 00:17:55.800
 me in a

00:17:55.800 --> 00:17:56.040
 special

00:17:56.040 --> 00:17:56.460
 category.

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:58.980
 But as

00:17:58.980 --> 00:17:59.440
 we meet

00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.160
 the creator

00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:01.180
 in God's

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:02.060
 word, we

00:18:02.060 --> 00:18:02.940
 realise that

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:04.000
 he alone is

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:04.460
 the one who

00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:05.060
 knows.

00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.160
 I know

00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:08.960
 partially.

00:18:10.060 --> 00:18:10.620
 I know in

00:18:10.620 --> 00:18:12.220
 a time-bound

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:12.660
 way.

00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:14.160
 He knows

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:14.920
 all things.

00:18:15.780 --> 00:18:16.180
 He is the

00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:16.880
 gatherer of

00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:17.800
 the all-seeing

00:18:17.800 --> 00:18:18.500
 creatures from

00:18:18.500 --> 00:18:19.040
 all over the

00:18:19.040 --> 00:18:19.340
 world.

00:18:19.780 --> 00:18:20.180
 He is the

00:18:20.180 --> 00:18:20.560
 one who

00:18:20.560 --> 00:18:21.120
 knows all

00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:21.400
 things.

00:18:21.540 --> 00:18:21.700
 Our

00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:22.480
 partial and

00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:22.800
 limited

00:18:22.800 --> 00:18:23.759
 knowledge is

00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:24.220
 made up of

00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:24.580
 stuff that

00:18:24.579 --> 00:18:24.839
 we have

00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:25.379
 heard or

00:18:25.379 --> 00:18:25.879
 been given.

00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:26.679
 All of

00:18:26.679 --> 00:18:27.339
 our conclusions

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:27.960
 about all

00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:28.679
 things are

00:18:28.679 --> 00:18:29.319
 provisional.

00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:30.559
 We have to

00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:31.279
 recognise that

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:31.779
 we might be

00:18:31.779 --> 00:18:32.019
 wrong.

00:18:32.159 --> 00:18:32.759
 We might not

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.460
 know and we

00:18:33.460 --> 00:18:33.879
 might never

00:18:33.879 --> 00:18:34.259
 know.

00:18:34.819 --> 00:18:35.379
 But God's

00:18:35.379 --> 00:18:35.819
 knowledge is

00:18:35.819 --> 00:18:36.259
 ultimate.

00:18:37.379 --> 00:18:38.159
 We know that

00:18:38.159 --> 00:18:38.720
 the earth spins

00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:39.359
 around the sun

00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:40.259
 but God knows

00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:41.759
 how it does

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.699
 and why it

00:18:42.699 --> 00:18:43.279
 does and

00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:44.339
 sustains it

00:18:44.339 --> 00:18:45.240
 even as it

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:45.679
 does.

00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:47.199
 And learning

00:18:47.199 --> 00:18:47.919
 this brings

00:18:47.919 --> 00:18:48.460
 humility,

00:18:48.619 --> 00:18:49.039
 doesn't it?

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:50.079
 Think about

00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:50.960
 how little you

00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:51.960
 know in

00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:52.599
 relative terms.

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:53.639
 How little you

00:18:53.639 --> 00:18:54.539
 will ever know.

00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:55.679
 We don't

00:18:55.679 --> 00:18:56.179
 even really

00:18:56.179 --> 00:18:57.059
 know ourselves

00:18:57.059 --> 00:18:58.179
 in any kind

00:18:58.179 --> 00:18:59.220
 of deep

00:18:59.220 --> 00:18:59.939
 way, do we?

00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:00.399
 We know

00:19:00.399 --> 00:19:01.579
 parts about

00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:02.059
 ourselves.

00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:02.960
 God knows

00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:03.879
 everything about

00:19:03.879 --> 00:19:04.399
 us.

00:19:05.099 --> 00:19:05.460
 We don't

00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:05.759
 know the

00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:06.199
 future.

00:19:06.659 --> 00:19:06.899
 We don't

00:19:06.899 --> 00:19:07.339
 know everything

00:19:07.339 --> 00:19:07.740
 about the

00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:08.279
 past.

00:19:08.859 --> 00:19:09.220
 We are

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:09.619
 largely

00:19:09.619 --> 00:19:10.480
 ignorant about

00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:11.079
 everything.

00:19:12.019 --> 00:19:12.399
 Deuteronomy

00:19:12.399 --> 00:19:13.779
 29, 29 puts

00:19:13.779 --> 00:19:14.240
 it like this,

00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:14.899
 the secret

00:19:14.899 --> 00:19:15.679
 things that

00:19:15.679 --> 00:19:16.179
 belong to

00:19:16.179 --> 00:19:16.659
 the Lord

00:19:16.659 --> 00:19:17.659
 our God,

00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:18.339
 but the

00:19:18.339 --> 00:19:18.819
 things that

00:19:18.819 --> 00:19:19.480
 are revealed

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:20.139
 belong to

00:19:20.139 --> 00:19:20.779
 us and

00:19:20.779 --> 00:19:21.319
 our children

00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:21.740
 forever,

00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:22.599
 that we

00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:23.120
 may do

00:19:23.120 --> 00:19:23.920
 all the

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:24.500
 words of

00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:24.980
 this law.

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:27.440
 In other

00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:27.579
 words,

00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:29.019
 anything that

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:29.960
 you know,

00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:31.559
 you know

00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:32.240
 because God

00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:32.740
 has told

00:19:32.740 --> 00:19:33.620
 you and

00:19:33.620 --> 00:19:34.019
 he has

00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:34.579
 taught you.

00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:36.279
 Even those

00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:36.880
 who don't

00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:37.940
 acknowledge God

00:19:37.940 --> 00:19:38.720
 as God,

00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:39.620
 all that they

00:19:39.620 --> 00:19:40.259
 know, they

00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:40.900
 know because

00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:41.460
 God has

00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:42.220
 taught them

00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:42.819
 and told

00:19:42.819 --> 00:19:43.160
 them in

00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:43.640
 his common

00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:44.180
 grace to

00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:44.440
 them.

00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:46.400
 All the

00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:47.019
 treasures of

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:47.680
 wisdom and

00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:48.200
 knowledge are

00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:48.680
 hidden in

00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:48.960
 the Lord

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.200
 Jesus

00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:49.799
 Christ.

00:19:50.580 --> 00:19:50.680
 Yeah.

00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:52.220
 And it's

00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:52.580
 humbling,

00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:53.000
 isn't it?

00:19:54.580 --> 00:19:55.259
 It's actually

00:19:55.259 --> 00:19:55.820
 brilliant, I

00:19:55.820 --> 00:19:56.060
 think.

00:19:56.180 --> 00:19:56.660
 You and I

00:19:56.660 --> 00:19:57.480
 only know

00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:57.920
 what we

00:19:57.920 --> 00:19:58.380
 need to

00:19:58.380 --> 00:19:59.340
 know and

00:19:59.340 --> 00:19:59.700
 we only

00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:00.019
 know it

00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:00.460
 because God

00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:00.799
 has told

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:01.060
 it to

00:20:01.060 --> 00:20:01.500
 us.

00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:04.759
 Okay, what

00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:05.160
 about

00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:06.340
 presence?

00:20:07.320 --> 00:20:07.799
 Presence.

00:20:08.820 --> 00:20:09.519
 So if you

00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:09.960
 love to be

00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:10.400
 someone who's

00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:10.580
 in the

00:20:10.580 --> 00:20:10.860
 know,

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:12.440
 that's what

00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:12.860
 Anderson's

00:20:12.860 --> 00:20:13.120
 like at

00:20:13.120 --> 00:20:13.279
 school,

00:20:13.340 --> 00:20:13.480
 right?

00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:15.100
 I was the

00:20:15.100 --> 00:20:15.400
 guy who

00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:15.920
 wanted to

00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:16.340
 be in the

00:20:16.340 --> 00:20:16.700
 thick of

00:20:16.700 --> 00:20:16.980
 it at

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:17.259
 school,

00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:17.620
 right?

00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:18.140
 If there

00:20:18.140 --> 00:20:18.400
 was a

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:18.700
 fight,

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:19.280
 I was

00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:19.519
 there.

00:20:19.620 --> 00:20:19.840
 I wanted

00:20:19.840 --> 00:20:20.120
 to know

00:20:20.120 --> 00:20:20.380
 what was

00:20:20.380 --> 00:20:20.940
 going down,

00:20:21.019 --> 00:20:21.180
 right?

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:21.580
 If there

00:20:21.580 --> 00:20:22.940
 was a

00:20:22.940 --> 00:20:23.340
 kind of

00:20:23.340 --> 00:20:23.780
 rumbling

00:20:23.780 --> 00:20:24.200
 that something

00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:24.480
 was going

00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:24.820
 to happen,

00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:25.840
 I would

00:20:25.840 --> 00:20:26.300
 be there

00:20:26.300 --> 00:20:26.700
 just because

00:20:26.700 --> 00:20:27.000
 I wanted

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:27.420
 to know

00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:27.860
 what was

00:20:27.860 --> 00:20:28.180
 going down.

00:20:28.280 --> 00:20:28.640
 I did

00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:29.180
 not want

00:20:29.180 --> 00:20:29.740
 to miss

00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:29.960
 out.

00:20:30.060 --> 00:20:30.600
 I hated

00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:30.920
 missing

00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:31.740
 out and

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:32.040
 want to

00:20:32.040 --> 00:20:32.220
 be in

00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:32.519
 the right

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:32.980
 place at

00:20:32.980 --> 00:20:33.280
 the right

00:20:33.280 --> 00:20:33.759
 time.

00:20:34.460 --> 00:20:35.000
 But our

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:36.120
 creator is

00:20:36.120 --> 00:20:37.220
 everywhere

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:38.500
 all the

00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:38.900
 time.

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:41.320
 You know

00:20:41.320 --> 00:20:42.240
 that only

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:42.560
 too well

00:20:42.560 --> 00:20:42.759
 that you

00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:43.120
 can only be

00:20:43.120 --> 00:20:43.380
 in one

00:20:43.380 --> 00:20:43.740
 place at

00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:44.300
 one time

00:20:44.300 --> 00:20:44.660
 and we

00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:45.240
 feel the

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:45.640
 frustration

00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:46.120
 of that,

00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:46.560
 especially

00:20:46.560 --> 00:20:46.940
 when we

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:47.400
 take on

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:48.140
 too much,

00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:49.019
 we have

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:49.480
 too much

00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:50.180
 going on.

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:51.460
 There's a

00:20:51.460 --> 00:20:51.860
 word for

00:20:51.860 --> 00:20:52.460
 that frustration

00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:53.200
 that comes

00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:54.560
 from taking

00:20:54.560 --> 00:20:55.000
 on too

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:55.460
 much and

00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:56.000
 wanting to

00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:56.220
 be in

00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:56.820
 every place

00:20:56.820 --> 00:20:57.340
 at every

00:20:57.340 --> 00:20:57.640
 time.

00:20:57.780 --> 00:20:57.960
 You know

00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:59.019
 what the

00:20:59.019 --> 00:20:59.320
 word is

00:20:59.320 --> 00:20:59.700
 for that?

00:21:00.280 --> 00:21:00.640
 Begins

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:01.240
 with P,

00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:02.100
 ends in

00:21:02.100 --> 00:21:02.519
 ride.

00:21:03.820 --> 00:21:04.360
 It's

00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:04.940
 pride,

00:21:05.100 --> 00:21:05.500
 isn't it?

00:21:06.140 --> 00:21:06.980
 It's the

00:21:06.980 --> 00:21:07.759
 desire to

00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:08.360
 be like

00:21:08.360 --> 00:21:08.820
 God.

00:21:09.820 --> 00:21:10.560
 If only

00:21:10.560 --> 00:21:10.880
 I could

00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:11.900
 be in

00:21:11.900 --> 00:21:12.200
 more than

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:12.600
 one place

00:21:12.600 --> 00:21:12.860
 at one

00:21:12.860 --> 00:21:13.360
 time.

00:21:14.060 --> 00:21:14.800
 If only

00:21:14.800 --> 00:21:15.280
 I could

00:21:15.280 --> 00:21:16.320
 spread

00:21:16.320 --> 00:21:17.200
 myself out

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:17.980
 more broadly

00:21:17.980 --> 00:21:18.360
 than I

00:21:18.360 --> 00:21:18.720
 can.

00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:19.960
 But we

00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:20.420
 come before

00:21:20.420 --> 00:21:20.900
 God and

00:21:20.900 --> 00:21:21.600
 we throw

00:21:21.600 --> 00:21:22.059
 down,

00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:22.420
 don't we?

00:21:22.460 --> 00:21:22.900
 We take

00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:23.299
 off the

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:23.980
 crown of

00:21:23.980 --> 00:21:24.660
 any sense

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:24.920
 of our

00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:26.220
 own presence,

00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:27.360
 any sense

00:21:27.360 --> 00:21:27.740
 that we're

00:21:27.740 --> 00:21:28.019
 in the

00:21:28.019 --> 00:21:28.319
 thick of

00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:28.940
 the action

00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:29.720
 and we

00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:30.240
 come before

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:30.539
 God and

00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:30.840
 we lay

00:21:30.840 --> 00:21:31.160
 it down

00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:31.620
 knowing you're

00:21:31.620 --> 00:21:32.460
 the omnipresent

00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:32.880
 God.

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:33.779
 You're the

00:21:33.779 --> 00:21:34.180
 one who

00:21:34.180 --> 00:21:34.779
 knows all

00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:35.120
 things,

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:35.720
 who is

00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:36.740
 in every

00:21:36.740 --> 00:21:37.380
 place at

00:21:37.380 --> 00:21:37.779
 every

00:21:37.779 --> 00:21:38.259
 time.

00:21:40.180 --> 00:21:40.900
 We have

00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:41.539
 feet of

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:42.740
 clay in

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:43.620
 one particular

00:21:43.620 --> 00:21:44.319
 place at

00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:44.900
 one particular

00:21:44.900 --> 00:21:45.420
 time.

00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:48.720
 power.

00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:50.539
 Again,

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:50.840
 it's an

00:21:50.840 --> 00:21:51.019
 obvious

00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:51.340
 point,

00:21:51.420 --> 00:21:51.600
 isn't it?

00:21:51.620 --> 00:21:51.840
 But it's

00:21:51.840 --> 00:21:52.320
 humbling.

00:21:53.360 --> 00:21:53.660
 Some of

00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:53.900
 us want

00:21:53.900 --> 00:21:54.200
 to know

00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:54.580
 everything,

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.000
 some of

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:55.180
 us want

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:55.400
 to be

00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:55.580
 in the

00:21:55.580 --> 00:21:55.840
 thick of

00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:55.920
 the

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:56.220
 action.

00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:57.680
 We all

00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:58.080
 want to

00:21:58.080 --> 00:21:58.539
 think that

00:21:58.539 --> 00:21:58.900
 we can

00:21:58.900 --> 00:21:59.740
 do stuff,

00:21:59.820 --> 00:22:00.160
 don't we,

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:00.820
 and fix

00:22:00.820 --> 00:22:01.460
 things and

00:22:01.460 --> 00:22:01.920
 achieve

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:02.500
 things,

00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:02.940
 make

00:22:02.940 --> 00:22:03.440
 changes,

00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:03.820
 push

00:22:03.820 --> 00:22:04.120
 forward

00:22:04.120 --> 00:22:04.560
 agendas,

00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:04.940
 make

00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:05.620
 plans.

00:22:06.580 --> 00:22:06.960
 But the

00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:07.900
 truth is

00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:08.920
 we are

00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:09.460
 utterly

00:22:09.460 --> 00:22:09.940
 helpless.

00:22:11.360 --> 00:22:12.160
 We are

00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:13.000
 unable to

00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:13.380
 achieve

00:22:13.380 --> 00:22:14.240
 anything in

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:14.620
 our own

00:22:14.620 --> 00:22:15.180
 strength.

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:17.160
 We have

00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:17.740
 absolutely

00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:18.300
 no idea

00:22:18.300 --> 00:22:18.620
 what will

00:22:18.620 --> 00:22:18.840
 happen

00:22:18.840 --> 00:22:19.240
 tomorrow.

00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:20.519
 We've

00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:21.080
 got a

00:22:21.080 --> 00:22:21.560
 plan that

00:22:21.560 --> 00:22:21.680
 there's

00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:21.820
 going to

00:22:21.820 --> 00:22:22.000
 be a

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:22.220
 holiday

00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:22.660
 club here

00:22:22.660 --> 00:22:22.960
 tomorrow,

00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:23.380
 but we

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:23.560
 have

00:22:23.560 --> 00:22:24.120
 absolutely

00:22:24.120 --> 00:22:24.759
 no idea,

00:22:24.860 --> 00:22:25.100
 do we,

00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:25.480
 really,

00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:26.320
 whether it's

00:22:26.320 --> 00:22:26.560
 going to

00:22:26.560 --> 00:22:26.820
 happen,

00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:27.220
 whether we'll

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:27.600
 be able to

00:22:27.600 --> 00:22:28.220
 achieve it.

00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:29.440
 But our

00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:30.100
 creator is

00:22:30.100 --> 00:22:30.620
 the maker

00:22:30.620 --> 00:22:31.600
 and sustainer

00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:32.080
 of all

00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:32.759
 things.

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:34.160
 He's not

00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:34.660
 just the

00:22:34.660 --> 00:22:35.460
 watchmaker

00:22:35.460 --> 00:22:36.140
 creator who

00:22:36.140 --> 00:22:36.779
 kind of

00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:37.600
 sets everything

00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:38.060
 in motion

00:22:38.060 --> 00:22:38.620
 and then just

00:22:38.620 --> 00:22:38.980
 kind of

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:39.840
 leaves it and

00:22:39.840 --> 00:22:40.279
 lets it get

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:40.580
 on with

00:22:40.580 --> 00:22:41.039
 itself.

00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:41.920
 Instead,

00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:42.700
 it's under

00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:43.360
 his power

00:22:43.360 --> 00:22:43.940
 in every

00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:44.380
 moment of

00:22:44.380 --> 00:22:44.880
 every day.

00:22:45.420 --> 00:22:45.800
 And he

00:22:45.800 --> 00:22:46.600
 holds us

00:22:46.600 --> 00:22:47.500
 and sustains

00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:47.920
 us.

00:22:48.060 --> 00:22:48.620
 It's his

00:22:48.620 --> 00:22:49.759
 power that

00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:50.259
 makes our

00:22:50.259 --> 00:22:51.019
 hearts beat

00:22:51.019 --> 00:22:52.940
 and puts

00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:53.779
 breath in

00:22:53.779 --> 00:22:54.500
 our lungs.

00:22:55.380 --> 00:22:55.660
 It's his

00:22:55.660 --> 00:22:56.140
 power that

00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:56.519
 keeps our

00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:57.240
 feet stuck

00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:57.519
 to the

00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:57.920
 ground,

00:22:58.440 --> 00:22:59.000
 the roof

00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:00.000
 on this

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:00.380
 building.

00:23:00.380 --> 00:23:01.099
 The words

00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:01.640
 coming out

00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:02.480
 of my

00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:02.839
 mouth.

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:03.259
 I am

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:03.599
 just a

00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:04.539
 creature and

00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:04.819
 I am

00:23:04.819 --> 00:23:05.339
 utterly

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:05.819
 helpless

00:23:05.819 --> 00:23:06.619
 before his

00:23:06.619 --> 00:23:06.980
 power.

00:23:08.700 --> 00:23:09.140
 Now,

00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:09.519
 we could

00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:09.940
 go on,

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:10.220
 couldn't we,

00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:10.539
 but let's

00:23:10.539 --> 00:23:10.799
 just put

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:11.259
 this together

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:11.640
 for a

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:11.880
 moment.

00:23:12.059 --> 00:23:12.339
 We are

00:23:12.339 --> 00:23:12.680
 to be

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:13.180
 humble

00:23:13.180 --> 00:23:14.480
 because we

00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.220
 are only

00:23:15.220 --> 00:23:15.680
 ever

00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:16.519
 creatures.

00:23:17.299 --> 00:23:17.799
 So much

00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:18.279
 so that the

00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:18.920
 crowns that

00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:19.539
 we have are

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:20.259
 to be thrown

00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:21.720
 down before

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:22.140
 the God

00:23:22.140 --> 00:23:22.740
 who really

00:23:22.740 --> 00:23:23.819
 owns them.

00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:25.339
 So even

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:25.919
 outside of

00:23:25.919 --> 00:23:26.460
 talking about

00:23:26.460 --> 00:23:28.399
 the humility

00:23:28.399 --> 00:23:29.399
 of recognizing

00:23:29.399 --> 00:23:30.339
 our sin

00:23:30.339 --> 00:23:30.639
 and our

00:23:30.639 --> 00:23:30.919
 need of

00:23:30.919 --> 00:23:31.339
 salvation,

00:23:31.339 --> 00:23:32.220
 we just

00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:32.480
 need to

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:33.200
 recognize that

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.240
 actually we

00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:35.000
 are creatures

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:35.599
 before an

00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:36.259
 all-sufficient

00:23:36.259 --> 00:23:36.819
 God.

00:23:37.639 --> 00:23:38.240
 So if we

00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:38.799
 are maybe

00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:39.359
 a great

00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:41.399
 artist or

00:23:41.399 --> 00:23:42.259
 a fantastic

00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:43.879
 accountant or

00:23:43.879 --> 00:23:44.419
 we are a

00:23:44.419 --> 00:23:45.019
 top business

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:45.679
 leader or

00:23:45.679 --> 00:23:46.399
 a super

00:23:46.399 --> 00:23:47.399
 bright academic

00:23:47.399 --> 00:23:48.500
 or a

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:48.799
 brilliant

00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:49.240
 preacher,

00:23:49.339 --> 00:23:49.799
 whatever it

00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:50.319
 is,

00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:51.679
 any of those

00:23:51.679 --> 00:23:52.059
 things are

00:23:52.059 --> 00:23:52.779
 only ours

00:23:52.779 --> 00:23:53.279
 because God

00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:53.759
 has loaned

00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:54.160
 them to

00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:54.700
 us.

00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:55.879
 They are

00:23:55.879 --> 00:23:56.900
 his gifts

00:23:56.900 --> 00:23:57.740
 to us,

00:23:58.039 --> 00:23:58.599
 snippets of

00:23:58.599 --> 00:23:58.980
 knowledge,

00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:00.119
 snippets of

00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:00.779
 power and

00:24:00.779 --> 00:24:01.319
 presence that

00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:01.799
 we have.

00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:02.740
 They are

00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:03.980
 Stephanos crowns

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:04.539
 of victory if

00:24:04.539 --> 00:24:04.839
 you like,

00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:05.200
 but they're

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:05.980
 not ours,

00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:06.900
 they belong

00:24:06.900 --> 00:24:07.400
 to him.

00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:08.559
 They're given

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:09.160
 to us by

00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:09.740
 our creator

00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:12.319
 and worshipping

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:14.379
 him involves

00:24:14.379 --> 00:24:15.400
 taking the

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:16.359
 crown off

00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:17.420
 and laying

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:17.779
 it down

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:18.339
 before him

00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:18.859
 and saying

00:24:18.859 --> 00:24:19.440
 all that I

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:19.720
 am is

00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:20.119
 yours.

00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:22.079
 All that I

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:22.339
 am is

00:24:22.339 --> 00:24:22.519
 yours.

00:24:22.879 --> 00:24:23.220
 Everything

00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:23.559
 that I

00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:24.019
 have has

00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:24.420
 come to

00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:24.900
 us from

00:24:24.900 --> 00:24:25.100
 you.

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:25.900
 We don't

00:24:25.900 --> 00:24:26.720
 present them

00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:27.200
 to him

00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:27.700
 and plead

00:24:27.700 --> 00:24:28.059
 on them,

00:24:28.120 --> 00:24:28.420
 do we?

00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:29.120
 It's not

00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:29.480
 like we

00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:29.980
 offer them

00:24:29.980 --> 00:24:30.460
 to him.

00:24:31.339 --> 00:24:31.860
 Look at

00:24:31.860 --> 00:24:32.120
 all these

00:24:32.120 --> 00:24:32.600
 great things

00:24:32.600 --> 00:24:33.000
 I've done

00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:33.339
 Lord.

00:24:34.220 --> 00:24:34.559
 It's not

00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:34.799
 like that,

00:24:34.860 --> 00:24:35.120
 is it?

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:36.339
 It's all

00:24:36.339 --> 00:24:36.720
 this was

00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:37.259
 yours.

00:24:39.120 --> 00:24:39.420
 They were

00:24:39.420 --> 00:24:39.940
 never ours

00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:40.420
 in the first

00:24:40.420 --> 00:24:40.880
 place.

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:41.799
 They belong

00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:42.279
 to the one

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:42.799
 who gives

00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:43.400
 all good

00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:44.620
 things to

00:24:44.620 --> 00:24:45.079
 us.

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:45.220
 us.

00:24:47.899 --> 00:24:48.539
 I want

00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:48.939
 to take

00:24:48.939 --> 00:24:49.319
 an

00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:49.659
 opportunity

00:24:49.659 --> 00:24:50.079
 to take

00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:50.679
 questions

00:24:50.679 --> 00:24:51.139
 or

00:24:51.139 --> 00:24:51.799
 comments.

00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:53.359
 So I'll

00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:53.819
 give you a

00:24:53.819 --> 00:24:54.279
 moment to

00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:54.559
 have a

00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:55.019
 think and

00:24:55.019 --> 00:24:55.439
 a ponder

00:24:55.439 --> 00:24:56.359
 and then

00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:56.699
 I'll take

00:24:56.699 --> 00:24:57.579
 your comments

00:24:57.579 --> 00:24:58.139
 and questions

00:24:58.140 --> 00:24:59.780
 and then

00:24:59.780 --> 00:25:00.120
 we'll sing

00:25:00.120 --> 00:25:00.360
 together.

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.400
 Anyone got a

00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:23.800
 comment or

00:25:23.800 --> 00:25:24.220
 a question?

00:25:26.520 --> 00:25:27.120
 I'll do my

00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:27.680
 shoelaces up

00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:27.960
 while you do

00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:28.360
 that because

00:25:28.360 --> 00:25:29.100
 Vanessa got

00:25:29.100 --> 00:25:29.600
 stressed out

00:25:29.600 --> 00:25:29.759
 there.

00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:42.779
 Is that

00:25:42.779 --> 00:25:42.940
 better?

00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:43.539
 There you

00:25:43.539 --> 00:25:43.660
 go.

00:25:43.740 --> 00:25:43.900
 Right.

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:44.519
 I don't

00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:44.740
 know how

00:25:44.740 --> 00:25:45.319
 both shoelaces

00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:45.799
 came undone

00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:46.100
 at the same

00:25:46.100 --> 00:25:46.340
 time.

00:25:46.460 --> 00:25:46.620
 There you

00:25:46.620 --> 00:25:46.759
 go.

00:25:46.940 --> 00:25:47.340
 Magical.

00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:49.559
 Anyone

00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:49.840
 got a

00:25:49.840 --> 00:25:50.200
 comment or

00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:50.620
 a question?

00:25:50.619 --> 00:25:51.619
 Yes.

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:05.619
 Yeah.

00:26:05.679 --> 00:26:06.119
 Why do some

00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:06.699
 people find it

00:26:06.699 --> 00:26:07.079
 easier than

00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:07.279
 others?

00:26:07.939 --> 00:26:08.139
 Do you know,

00:26:08.179 --> 00:26:08.539
 that's a good

00:26:08.539 --> 00:26:09.000
 question,

00:26:09.139 --> 00:26:09.279
 France.

00:26:09.459 --> 00:26:09.759
 I'm not,

00:26:10.019 --> 00:26:10.519
 I mean,

00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:10.859
 maybe we should

00:26:10.859 --> 00:26:11.139
 talk about

00:26:11.139 --> 00:26:11.879
 this together,

00:26:11.879 --> 00:26:12.379
 but I'm not

00:26:12.379 --> 00:26:12.919
 sure that,

00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:15.519
 I'm not sure

00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:16.759
 always that what

00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:17.400
 looks like

00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:18.140
 humility is

00:26:18.140 --> 00:26:18.640
 humility.

00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:20.740
 There's a lot

00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:21.560
 of frustrated

00:26:21.560 --> 00:26:22.200
 pride,

00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:22.759
 isn't there,

00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:23.900
 in a sort of

00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:24.660
 self-pitying,

00:26:24.800 --> 00:26:25.200
 oh, I wish I

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:25.620
 was better at

00:26:25.620 --> 00:26:25.759
 that.

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:28.319
 When I say,

00:26:28.900 --> 00:26:29.299
 oh, it's just,

00:26:29.379 --> 00:26:30.019
 I really wish I

00:26:30.019 --> 00:26:30.480
 was better at

00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:30.799
 that.

00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:32.400
 It's more,

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:33.180
 it's frustrated

00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:33.579
 pride,

00:26:33.660 --> 00:26:33.839
 isn't it?

00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:34.000
 It's not

00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:34.420
 humility.

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:37.500
 And so,

00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:38.500
 I think

00:26:38.500 --> 00:26:39.059
 probably some

00:26:39.059 --> 00:26:39.519
 of us find

00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:40.059
 it easier to

00:26:40.059 --> 00:26:40.920
 express pride

00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:42.700
 in self-confidence

00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:43.779
 and other

00:26:43.779 --> 00:26:44.640
 of us feel

00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:45.460
 we express

00:26:45.460 --> 00:26:45.980
 our pride in

00:26:45.980 --> 00:26:46.460
 some kind

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:47.180
 of self-pity,

00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:47.700
 don't we?

00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:49.339
 Oh, you

00:26:49.339 --> 00:26:49.500
 know,

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:51.960
 I'm rubbish.

00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:52.980
 Well,

00:26:53.019 --> 00:26:53.319
 actually,

00:26:55.180 --> 00:26:55.640
 at the

00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:56.080
 truth is,

00:26:56.660 --> 00:26:57.120
 we're all

00:26:57.120 --> 00:26:58.740
 nothing before

00:26:58.740 --> 00:26:59.220
 the one who

00:26:59.220 --> 00:27:00.140
 created us.

00:27:00.860 --> 00:27:01.440
 That's the

00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:02.020
 truth of it.

00:27:02.360 --> 00:27:03.080
 And everything

00:27:03.080 --> 00:27:04.040
 I have and

00:27:04.040 --> 00:27:04.640
 all that I

00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:05.080
 need will

00:27:05.080 --> 00:27:05.520
 come to me

00:27:05.520 --> 00:27:05.960
 from him.

00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:07.880
 And say,

00:27:08.080 --> 00:27:08.980
 that's humility,

00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:09.400
 isn't it?

00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:10.500
 It's not the

00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:11.420
 sort of self-pitying.

00:27:11.520 --> 00:27:12.020
 So I think,

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:13.020
 yeah,

00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:14.140
 does that make

00:27:14.140 --> 00:27:14.500
 sense?

00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:16.700
 Go on.

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.360
 Feel free,

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:23.680
 go on,

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:24.480
 feel free to

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.100
 keep the

00:27:25.099 --> 00:27:25.519
 conversation

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:25.899
 going if

00:27:25.899 --> 00:27:26.059
 you want

00:27:26.059 --> 00:27:27.019
 to come

00:27:27.019 --> 00:27:27.279
 back to

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:27.480
 me if

00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:27.740
 you like.

00:27:29.179 --> 00:27:29.359
 You don't

00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:29.599
 have to.

00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:31.039
 Someone else?

00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:31.399
 Someone else?

00:27:31.399 --> 00:27:31.699
 Help me out.

00:27:32.899 --> 00:27:33.659
 I think

00:27:33.659 --> 00:27:34.259
 sometimes

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:36.059
 the Lord

00:27:36.059 --> 00:27:36.740
 teaches us

00:27:36.740 --> 00:27:37.619
 humility by

00:27:37.619 --> 00:27:38.339
 taking our

00:27:38.339 --> 00:27:39.159
 plans away from

00:27:39.159 --> 00:27:39.480
 us.

00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:41.939
 So I think

00:27:41.939 --> 00:27:43.639
 if we want

00:27:43.639 --> 00:27:44.099
 to grow

00:27:44.099 --> 00:27:44.939
 in humility,

00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:47.539
 sometimes we

00:27:47.539 --> 00:27:47.859
 think it's

00:27:47.859 --> 00:27:48.159
 going to be

00:27:48.159 --> 00:27:48.480
 a really

00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:48.980
 peaceful

00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:49.459
 journey.

00:27:50.719 --> 00:27:51.159
 And I

00:27:51.159 --> 00:27:51.719
 think sometimes

00:27:51.719 --> 00:27:52.179
 it can be

00:27:52.179 --> 00:27:52.439
 a really

00:27:52.439 --> 00:27:53.279
 painful one.

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:54.940
 I just

00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:55.200
 think you

00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:55.500
 need to

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:55.879
 not be

00:27:55.879 --> 00:27:56.399
 scared of

00:27:56.399 --> 00:27:56.740
 that.

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.279
 Yeah.

00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.299
 Because I

00:27:59.299 --> 00:27:59.700
 think that's

00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:00.079
 a piece

00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:00.819
 sometimes you

00:28:00.819 --> 00:28:03.180
 can be

00:28:03.180 --> 00:28:03.680
 fearful,

00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:04.480
 but it's a

00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:04.859
 loving,

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:05.740
 creative

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:06.399
 what is your

00:28:06.399 --> 00:28:07.160
 father who

00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:07.899
 lies behind.

00:28:08.460 --> 00:28:08.720
 Yeah.

00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:09.879
 You understand

00:28:09.879 --> 00:28:10.619
 him better.

00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:11.180
 When you

00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:11.799
 understand

00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:12.079
 his

00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:13.079
 creature,

00:28:13.779 --> 00:28:14.440
 you're in a

00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:15.440
 much better

00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:15.899
 place,

00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:16.379
 although you

00:28:16.379 --> 00:28:16.779
 feel the

00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:17.039
 nothing.

00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:17.700
 Yeah.

00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:20.639
 Yes.

00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:21.200
 I'm trying to

00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:22.079
 summarize that

00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:22.359
 Vanessa.

00:28:24.819 --> 00:28:25.299
 Yeah.

00:28:25.379 --> 00:28:25.599
 So the

00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:26.099
 process of

00:28:26.099 --> 00:28:26.379
 learning

00:28:26.379 --> 00:28:27.799
 humility is

00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:28.839
 painful and

00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:29.220
 difficult,

00:28:29.379 --> 00:28:30.599
 isn't it?

00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:32.119
 Yeah.

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:32.940
 Yeah.

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:35.119
 Yeah.

00:28:39.619 --> 00:28:40.099
 Yeah.

00:28:40.539 --> 00:28:40.980
 In his

00:28:40.980 --> 00:28:41.879
 book,

00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:42.539
 Invest Your

00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:42.960
 Suffering,

00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:43.619
 Paul Mallard

00:28:43.619 --> 00:28:44.519
 describes it as

00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:45.160
 if God

00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:46.279
 gives us a

00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:46.539
 load of

00:28:46.539 --> 00:28:47.180
 stuff in

00:28:47.180 --> 00:28:47.400
 life,

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:47.819
 doesn't he?

00:28:47.900 --> 00:28:49.139
 So he might

00:28:49.139 --> 00:28:49.500
 give you

00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:50.259
 certain abilities,

00:28:50.500 --> 00:28:50.799
 he gives you

00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:51.539
 certain energy

00:28:51.539 --> 00:28:52.180
 levels, he

00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:52.660
 might give you

00:28:52.660 --> 00:28:53.059
 academic

00:28:53.059 --> 00:28:53.720
 qualifications,

00:28:53.879 --> 00:28:54.279
 he may give

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:54.680
 you a

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:55.180
 husband or

00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:55.519
 a wife,

00:28:55.579 --> 00:28:55.759
 he might

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:56.019
 give you

00:28:56.019 --> 00:28:56.379
 children.

00:28:57.319 --> 00:28:57.599
 And then

00:28:57.599 --> 00:28:58.639
 life really

00:28:58.639 --> 00:28:59.079
 is about

00:28:59.079 --> 00:28:59.480
 giving them

00:28:59.480 --> 00:28:59.859
 back.

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:00.379
 You know,

00:29:01.339 --> 00:29:02.460
 you suddenly

00:29:02.460 --> 00:29:02.980
 lose the

00:29:02.980 --> 00:29:03.480
 energy level

00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:03.759
 that you

00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:04.119
 had.

00:29:04.420 --> 00:29:04.740
 You might

00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:05.460
 lose a

00:29:05.460 --> 00:29:05.839
 child,

00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:06.480
 you might

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:06.819
 lose your

00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:07.259
 health,

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:07.759
 you might

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:08.240
 lose your

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:09.180
 husband or

00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:09.619
 wife,

00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:10.519
 you will,

00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:11.220
 and you

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:11.639
 will eventually

00:29:11.639 --> 00:29:12.059
 lose your

00:29:12.059 --> 00:29:12.460
 life.

00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:13.359
 And you're

00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:13.759
 giving it all

00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:14.099
 back to

00:29:14.099 --> 00:29:14.500
 the Lord who

00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:14.799
 gave you

00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:15.259
 all things.

00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:16.460
 And the

00:29:16.460 --> 00:29:17.180
 more that we

00:29:17.180 --> 00:29:17.700
 can live our

00:29:17.700 --> 00:29:18.359
 lives knowing

00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:18.920
 that that is

00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:19.279
 what is

00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:19.700
 happening,

00:29:20.259 --> 00:29:20.759
 and that all

00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:21.160
 things are

00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:21.700
 given to us

00:29:21.700 --> 00:29:22.200
 by a God

00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:23.019
 who loves us

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.279
 and is

00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:23.900
 generous to

00:29:23.900 --> 00:29:24.160
 us, but

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:24.599
 they're not

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:26.240
 ours, the

00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:26.879
 more we can

00:29:26.879 --> 00:29:27.579
 enjoy them.

00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:30.960
 The creature

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:32.019
 who enjoys

00:29:32.019 --> 00:29:32.660
 the gifts

00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:34.000
 the best is

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:34.599
 not the one

00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:35.180
 who thought

00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:35.700
 that they

00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:36.740
 got them

00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:37.379
 themselves,

00:29:37.379 --> 00:29:38.039
 but is the

00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:38.579
 one who is

00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:39.319
 delighting in

00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:39.779
 the one who

00:29:39.779 --> 00:29:40.279
 gave them

00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:40.799
 to them.

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:42.579
 And so

00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:43.099
 that's

00:29:43.099 --> 00:29:43.839
 Christian

00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:44.159
 joy,

00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:44.619
 isn't it?

00:29:45.619 --> 00:29:45.879
 Yeah.

00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:46.799
 So are you

00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:47.639
 saying the lack

00:29:47.639 --> 00:29:48.359
 of recognition

00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:50.579
 that's

00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:51.299
 of that joy?

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:52.799
 Yes, a lack

00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:53.439
 of recognition

00:29:53.439 --> 00:29:54.179
 that all that we

00:29:54.179 --> 00:29:54.740
 have comes from

00:29:54.740 --> 00:29:55.740
 him robs us

00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:56.240
 of joy.

00:29:56.500 --> 00:29:57.240
 Not only just

00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:57.819
 joy in life

00:29:57.819 --> 00:29:58.379
 in general,

00:29:58.579 --> 00:29:59.699
 but joy in

00:29:59.699 --> 00:30:00.279
 the gift.

00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:01.559
 So if I

00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:03.220
 think of the

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:03.859
 gift of my

00:30:03.859 --> 00:30:04.779
 intellect as

00:30:04.779 --> 00:30:05.480
 being

00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:07.099
 mine,

00:30:07.459 --> 00:30:08.299
 I won't

00:30:08.299 --> 00:30:09.359
 enjoy it

00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:10.559
 because it

00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:11.039
 will be

00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:11.619
 sort of

00:30:11.619 --> 00:30:12.319
 ultimate to

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:12.659
 me and

00:30:12.659 --> 00:30:12.939
 it will

00:30:12.939 --> 00:30:13.359
 be

00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:14.439
 fractured

00:30:14.439 --> 00:30:14.859
 and broken

00:30:14.859 --> 00:30:15.259
 and it

00:30:15.259 --> 00:30:15.740
 will destroy

00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:16.000
 me.

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:16.299
 Yeah.

00:30:16.299 --> 00:30:16.299


00:30:16.819 --> 00:30:16.839
 Yeah.

00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:17.939
 Yeah.

00:30:17.939 --> 00:30:18.000
 Yeah.

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:18.500
 Yeah.

00:30:18.500 --> 00:30:20.559
 Yeah.

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:25.619
 We have

00:30:25.619 --> 00:30:26.059
 to run

00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:30.740
 away from

00:30:30.740 --> 00:30:31.180
 God

00:30:31.180 --> 00:30:32.180
 rather than

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:32.880
 run into

00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:33.299
 it.

00:30:33.299 --> 00:30:33.640
 Yeah.

00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:34.980
 And in

00:30:34.980 --> 00:30:35.880
 much distance,

00:30:36.460 --> 00:30:37.000
 I was talking

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:37.319
 to someone

00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:37.839
 this morning

00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:38.519
 and they were

00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:39.059
 asking me a

00:30:39.059 --> 00:30:39.640
 question and I

00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:39.819
 said,

00:30:40.299 --> 00:30:40.740
 the highest

00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:41.400
 compliment you

00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:41.880
 can pay to

00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:42.559
 God is to

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:42.740
 be

00:30:42.740 --> 00:30:43.039
 obedient.

00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:43.960
 Mm-hmm.

00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:51.299
 Yes.

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:52.460
 So we

00:30:52.460 --> 00:30:53.759
 we pay

00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:54.319
 we comment

00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:54.660
 God by

00:30:54.660 --> 00:30:55.700
 obeying him.

00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:56.740
 But as

00:30:56.740 --> 00:30:57.620
 long as in

00:30:57.620 --> 00:30:58.059
 that sentence

00:30:58.059 --> 00:30:58.720
 I'm understanding

00:30:58.720 --> 00:30:59.720
 obedience as

00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:00.340
 being something

00:31:00.340 --> 00:31:01.019
 that I am

00:31:01.019 --> 00:31:01.620
 actually only

00:31:01.620 --> 00:31:02.220
 doing in the

00:31:02.220 --> 00:31:02.680
 strength that

00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:03.240
 he gives

00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:04.120
 anyway.

00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:04.900
 So I'm

00:31:04.900 --> 00:31:05.880
 living the

00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:06.480
 life that he

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:06.880
 has given

00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:07.480
 me for his

00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:07.880
 glory,

00:31:08.140 --> 00:31:08.660
 recognizing

00:31:08.660 --> 00:31:09.039
 that it's

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:09.360
 given to

00:31:09.360 --> 00:31:09.640
 me by

00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:10.759
 him and

00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:10.980
 empowered

00:31:10.980 --> 00:31:12.039
 by him.

00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:12.380
 Yes.

00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:13.060


00:31:13.060 --> 00:31:33.420
 Yeah.

00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.420


00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:35.120
 that is actually treating ourselves.

00:31:35.120 --> 00:31:43.539
 And so the lack of humility is sort of at the root

00:31:43.539 --> 00:31:45.539
 of a very single thing that goes wrong.

00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:47.980
 All of that meaning is actually saying,

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:50.000
 I'm not a man because I don't want to be a man.

00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:50.420
 Yes.

00:31:50.420 --> 00:31:51.259
 I'm not a man.

00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:52.019
 Yeah.

00:31:52.019 --> 00:31:52.519
 Yeah.

00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:53.019
 Yeah.

00:31:53.019 --> 00:31:53.519
 Yeah.

00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:54.019
 Yeah.

00:31:54.019 --> 00:31:55.019
 Yeah.

00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:56.019
 Yeah.

00:31:56.019 --> 00:31:57.019
 Yeah.

00:31:57.019 --> 00:31:58.019
 Yes.

00:31:58.019 --> 00:31:59.019
 Yeah.

00:31:59.019 --> 00:32:00.019
 That's really helpful.

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:01.019
 Thanks, David.

00:32:01.019 --> 00:32:03.320
 And I think that the truth is that,

00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:06.519
 that it's possible for churches just to sort of baptize

00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:08.919
 a kind of Christian pride, isn't it?

00:32:08.919 --> 00:32:10.619
 That basically we look around and think we're slightly better

00:32:10.619 --> 00:32:11.419
 than everybody else.

00:32:11.419 --> 00:32:14.119
 Or even that we think we're slightly worse than everybody else

00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:15.220
 and feel crushed by that.

00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:15.919
 That's still pride.

00:32:15.919 --> 00:32:18.419
 It's just, it's just pride meeting failure, isn't it?

00:32:18.419 --> 00:32:19.419
 Yeah.

00:32:19.419 --> 00:32:20.419
 Yeah.

00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:22.119
 Great.

00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:24.119
 Okay.

00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:28.619
 I'm going to call it to an end there because we've got humility

00:32:28.619 --> 00:32:29.819
 again next week.

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:31.519
 And I would like us to sing.

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:34.119
 So let me pray and then we'll sing.

00:32:38.619 --> 00:32:41.119
 Heavenly Father, we owe all things to you.

00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:44.220
 You are our creator.

00:32:45.220 --> 00:32:46.920
 Who knows all things.

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:50.619
 Who is in all places at all times.

00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:55.420
 And who powerfully sustains all things by the power of your word.

00:32:55.420 --> 00:32:58.820
 And Lord, we know very little.

00:32:58.820 --> 00:33:01.019
 Only what you choose to reveal to us.

00:33:01.019 --> 00:33:03.920
 We can only be in one place at one time,

00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:05.820
 one brief moment of history.

00:33:05.819 --> 00:33:09.419
 We have no power of our own.

00:33:09.419 --> 00:33:11.919
 We don't even know that we'll be here tomorrow.

00:33:11.919 --> 00:33:19.819
 And so, Lord, we cast our crowns before you and acknowledge you to be King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

00:33:19.819 --> 00:33:21.619
 Thank you that you love us.

00:33:21.619 --> 00:33:28.720
 We thank you that we find great joy in humbly trusting you as the giver of all good gifts.

00:33:29.420 --> 00:33:30.420
 And we praise your name.

00:33:31.259 --> 00:33:31.620
 Amen.

00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:31.960


00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:32.500
 Amen.
