00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.580
 I'm going to be preaching from Colossians 3, 12-17 this morning, and that is on page

00:00:10.580 --> 00:00:16.019
 1170 of your Bibles, but I'm going to read starting in verse 1.

00:00:16.019 --> 00:00:20.300
 So 1-17, hear the word of the Lord.

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:27.000
 If then you've been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.379
 seated at the right hand of God.

00:00:29.339 --> 00:00:33.560
 Set your minds on the things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:37.039
 For you have died, and your life is seated with Christ in God.

00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:41.219
 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:46.920
 Put to death, therefore, what is earthly in you, sexual immorality, impurity, passion,

00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:50.399
 evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:52.920
 On account of these, the wrath of God is coming.

00:00:52.920 --> 00:01:00.859
 In these, you too once walked when you were living in them, but now you must put them

00:01:00.859 --> 00:01:02.200
 all away.

00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:08.299
 Anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.740
 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you've put off the old self with its practices and

00:01:14.739 --> 00:01:20.659
 have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge of after the image of its creator.

00:01:21.459 --> 00:01:27.239
 Here, there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,

00:01:27.339 --> 00:01:30.119
 free, but Christ is all and in all.

00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:46.439
 Put on, then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility,

00:01:46.659 --> 00:01:49.260
 meekness, and patience, bearing with one another.

00:01:49.380 --> 00:01:54.700
 And if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other as the Lord has forgiven

00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:56.540
 you, so you also must forgive.

00:01:56.540 --> 00:02:05.660
 And above all these, put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:10.920
 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body,

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:12.240
 and be thankful.

00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:19.259
 Let the word of Christ dwell in you, richly teaching and admonishing one another in all

00:02:19.259 --> 00:02:25.879
 wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:35.379
 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks

00:02:35.379 --> 00:02:36.919
 to God the Father through him.

00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:38.219
 Amen.

00:02:41.219 --> 00:02:42.639
 Sympathetic resonance.

00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:48.919
 It's an acoustical phenomenon.

00:02:51.000 --> 00:03:00.839
 It occurs when you have two or more instruments tuned together in the same room.

00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.079
 Let's say you have a baby grand piano up on stage.

00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:04.879
 It's tuned.

00:03:04.979 --> 00:03:06.739
 You have another baby grand piano up on stage.

00:03:06.740 --> 00:03:07.840
 It's tuned.

00:03:08.420 --> 00:03:13.260
 You hit center C in one, you're going to hear a hum of center C in the other.

00:03:13.820 --> 00:03:16.460
 That's sympathetic resonance.

00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:21.080
 There's something that happens in the church.

00:03:23.180 --> 00:03:33.439
 It's a phenomena called Christocentric resonance between spiritually tuned Christians.

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:37.979
 It kind of happens like this.

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.699
 One morning, Christ is being proclaimed from the pulpit.

00:03:42.099 --> 00:03:47.079
 A sister in the Lord is overwhelmed by the glory and goodness of Jesus towards her.

00:03:49.419 --> 00:03:52.879
 The spirit strikes center C in her heart.

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:54.139
 Christ's central.

00:03:55.139 --> 00:03:57.079
 And her response is yes and amen.

00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:02.660
 After the service, she approaches another sister and she says,

00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:04.820
 Oh man, just the whole service.

00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.200
 God ministered to me.

00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:08.520
 Jesus is awesome.

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.860
 And that other sister responds,

00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.540
 Yes, yes, yes.

00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:14.660
 Me too.

00:04:16.860 --> 00:04:18.199
 And at that moment,

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.520
 there is Christocentric resonance in a church.

00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:27.319
 Savoring the Savior.

00:04:28.859 --> 00:04:30.120
 Speaking of Him.

00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:35.879
 The Spirit of God spotlighting Christ in our midst,

00:04:36.359 --> 00:04:38.579
 resulting in thanksgiving to God.

00:04:40.779 --> 00:04:42.680
 How does that happen in a church?

00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.979
 How does Christocentric resonance happen among us?

00:04:48.060 --> 00:04:51.180
 I believe it's happening in the midst of Christ the King Church.

00:04:51.180 --> 00:04:52.540
 How does it happen more?

00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.900
 How do we position ourselves for more Christocentric resonance?

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:03.100
 Well, Colossians 3, 12 through 17 shows us three moves.

00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.620
 First is a reminder who you are in Christ.

00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:09.379
 Second, the need to put on Christ.

00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.340
 Dress accordingly, believer.

00:05:13.220 --> 00:05:17.280
 And third, how we resonate Christ together.

00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:25.259
 We each put on Christ so that we all resonate Christ together.

00:05:26.019 --> 00:05:30.619
 We each put on Christ so we all resonate Christ together.

00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:34.399
 But if we're not all resonating Christ together,

00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.739
 it's probably because we haven't put on Christ.

00:05:36.819 --> 00:05:38.799
 And the reason why we haven't put on Christ

00:05:38.799 --> 00:05:41.379
 is that we suffer from spiritual amnesia.

00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:43.859
 You forgot who you are.

00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:50.180
 So let me remind you from God's word of who you are in Christ.

00:05:51.379 --> 00:05:52.420
 Did you notice in verse 12?

00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:58.100
 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved,

00:05:58.300 --> 00:05:59.500
 compassionate hearts, kindness.

00:05:59.980 --> 00:06:02.980
 So Paul says, hey, you've put off these things,

00:06:03.020 --> 00:06:04.040
 now put on these.

00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:07.160
 And then he lists five virtues that we're to put on.

00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.680
 But in between the command to put on and those five virtues,

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.780
 we've got a little reminder, a little identity reminder.

00:06:17.460 --> 00:06:21.600
 Paul is reminding these Gentile Christians living in Colossae

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.879
 who they are.

00:06:25.620 --> 00:06:27.100
 He's been doing it all along.

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:29.140
 Chapter 1, verse 13,

00:06:30.280 --> 00:06:32.980
 these Christians have been delivered from the domain of darkness

00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:35.340
 and transferred into the kingdom of the beloved Son.

00:06:35.339 --> 00:06:40.239
 We saw it in 220 where we've died with Christ.

00:06:40.359 --> 00:06:42.179
 3-1, we've been raised with Christ.

00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:43.579
 It's our new identity now.

00:06:43.659 --> 00:06:45.799
 We've been united with Christ in his death and resurrection.

00:06:46.419 --> 00:06:47.239
 The old is gone.

00:06:47.299 --> 00:06:48.039
 The new has come.

00:06:50.659 --> 00:06:52.359
 We've got a new aim, 3-2.

00:06:53.039 --> 00:06:56.979
 We seek the things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

00:06:57.620 --> 00:06:59.539
 He's reigning on high right now.

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:01.719
 We've got a new aim.

00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.340
 We've got a new time frame.

00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:05.680
 Church, what time is it?

00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:08.820
 It's Christ time.

00:07:09.580 --> 00:07:11.920
 We'll live between his first coming and his second coming.

00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.020
 We live in the already and not yet,

00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:17.160
 and we synchronize our watches to Christ time.

00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:20.120
 This is a whole new way of living.

00:07:20.300 --> 00:07:22.500
 This is Christ-central living.

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.800
 This is normal Christianity, New Testament Christianity.

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:31.500
 Chapter 3, verses 7 and 8, there's this before and after.

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.879
 Before, when you were dead in your sins, in the domain of darkness,

00:07:35.960 --> 00:07:37.060
 you lived a certain way.

00:07:37.860 --> 00:07:44.300
 But after you became a Christian, now we live for Christ.

00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.100
 Then, before, was the old self.

00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:51.700
 Now, after is the new self.

00:07:52.860 --> 00:07:55.320
 The Christ-central self.

00:07:56.640 --> 00:08:00.320
 And here in verse 12, we're introduced to three words.

00:08:00.860 --> 00:08:05.320
 Chosen, holy, beloved.

00:08:07.340 --> 00:08:08.580
 You know what they're getting at?

00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:11.920
 You belong to God.

00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.140
 You're his, Christian.

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:21.280
 That word chosen is referring to God's elect.

00:08:21.780 --> 00:08:27.439
 Those whom God predestined before the foundation of the world to be his.

00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:29.819
 To be chosen in Christ.

00:08:29.939 --> 00:08:33.519
 If you flip in your Bible to Ephesians chapter 1,

00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:35.759
 we have this glorious statement of this.

00:08:39.420 --> 00:08:41.100
 Ephesians chapter 1, verse 4,

00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:44.379
 For even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world,

00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.540
 that we should be holy and blameless before him,

00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:51.580
 in love he predestined us for adoption in himself as sons through Jesus Christ,

00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:53.759
 according to the purpose of his will.

00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:59.460
 That chosen language is about God's sovereign, gracious act

00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:02.040
 before the foundation of the world in which he said,

00:09:02.139 --> 00:09:02.700
 You're mine!

00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.060
 He's the first mover in our salvation.

00:09:11.100 --> 00:09:13.740
 There's this other word, beloved.

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:16.980
 Chosen.

00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:19.759
 Holy, beloved.

00:09:21.460 --> 00:09:23.460
 Speaking of God's love for us.

00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:31.960
 That his sovereign choice of us wasn't some cold calculated move.

00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:36.759
 It was God setting his love on you, believer.

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.700
 In love he predestined us for adoption in Christ.

00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.259
 You're chosen in Christ.

00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:45.200
 That's who you are.

00:09:45.340 --> 00:09:47.580
 You're beloved by God.

00:09:47.740 --> 00:09:49.200
 Beloved by Christ.

00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:51.540
 He loves you.

00:09:52.280 --> 00:09:53.280
 He chose you.

00:09:54.340 --> 00:09:54.960
 You're his.

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.080
 That's who you are now, believer.

00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:03.860
 Before the foundation of the world, he set his love on you.

00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:06.340
 To what end?

00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:09.620
 To be holy.

00:10:12.180 --> 00:10:12.700
 Chosen.

00:10:14.300 --> 00:10:14.840
 Beloved.

00:10:16.920 --> 00:10:17.340
 Holy.

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:22.040
 In love God chose you before the foundation of the world to be holy.

00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:25.420
 To share in his holiness.

00:10:26.620 --> 00:10:29.700
 To be holy and blameless, according to Ephesians 1.

00:10:30.580 --> 00:10:33.300
 To the praise of God's glorious grace.

00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:35.920
 Holy.

00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:36.919
 To be holy.

00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:38.979
 To be delighting in.

00:10:39.099 --> 00:10:40.179
 To living in.

00:10:40.699 --> 00:10:45.079
 To be reflecting God's moral purity of character.

00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:47.639
 To be holy.

00:10:48.979 --> 00:10:51.039
 And do you know what's extraordinary about these three words?

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:56.759
 If you flip back to Deuteronomy chapter 7.

00:10:59.319 --> 00:11:00.980
 These three words show up.

00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.399
 In verses 6, 7, and 8.

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.720
 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God.

00:11:09.980 --> 00:11:14.000
 The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession.

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.259
 Out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:17.579
 It was not because of your.

00:11:18.939 --> 00:11:19.340
 You.

00:11:19.779 --> 00:11:20.240
 Hold on.

00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.120
 It was not because you were more in number than any other people.

00:11:23.199 --> 00:11:26.199
 That the Lord set his love on you and chose you.

00:11:26.439 --> 00:11:28.100
 For you were the fewest of all people.

00:11:28.199 --> 00:11:30.980
 But it is because the Lord loves you.

00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:33.480
 And is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers.

00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:36.079
 Chosen.

00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:36.860
 Holy.

00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:37.759
 Loved.

00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:40.120
 Do you know what's extraordinary about this?

00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.500
 In Deuteronomy 7, he's speaking of ethnic Israel.

00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:47.620
 His people under the old covenant.

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.139
 Here in Colossians, he's using the same language to talk.

00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:54.840
 Talking to Gentiles.

00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:55.840
 In Colossians.

00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:56.840
 In Colossi.

00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.560
 His people of the new covenant.

00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:04.100
 His blood bought people.

00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:06.740
 His new people.

00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:09.440
 It's extraordinary.

00:12:10.820 --> 00:12:12.840
 Do you know the majority of the people in this room are Gentiles?

00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:12.879
 Gentiles.

00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:17.280
 This should sing to your soul, Gentile.

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.000
 You belong to God now.

00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:22.440
 Through Christ.

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:23.540
 Chosen in Christ.

00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:24.600
 Beloved by Christ.

00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.540
 To be holy like Christ.

00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:28.659
 Christ.

00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:40.559
 And this is why we put away those vices.

00:12:41.939 --> 00:12:43.919
 And this is why we put on virtues.

00:12:45.819 --> 00:12:46.980
 It's who you are.

00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:50.480
 Even if you have amnesia.

00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:53.980
 There's this guy named Clive Wearing.

00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:55.740
 He was born in 1938.

00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.940
 He's like the poster child of amnesia in kind of modern studies.

00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:06.600
 Apparently in 1985, he developed amnesia as a result of some kind of virus.

00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:11.120
 But he couldn't remember who he was from there on out.

00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:15.200
 His memory never returned to him.

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:16.800
 He forgot who he was.

00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:19.399
 Christian.

00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:21.779
 Not us.

00:13:21.779 --> 00:13:25.459
 We can't forget who we are.

00:13:26.779 --> 00:13:29.299
 We can't suffer under spiritual amnesia.

00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:30.199
 Here's what happens.

00:13:31.019 --> 00:13:32.439
 People get spiritually lazy.

00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:34.379
 There's unrepentant sin.

00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.039
 Spiritual isolationism.

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:38.799
 Even the kind of taking in a false teaching.

00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.799
 And you start thinking other things of who you are.

00:13:42.899 --> 00:13:43.600
 You forget.

00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:46.799
 That you're chosen in Christ.

00:13:47.299 --> 00:13:48.659
 Beloved by Christ.

00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:51.059
 To be holy like Christ.

00:13:51.059 --> 00:13:56.059
 The solution to spiritual amnesia is spiritual remembrance.

00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:58.119
 Remembering.

00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:00.799
 Well, you remember who your king is.

00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:02.459
 And you remember what he's done for you.

00:14:03.239 --> 00:14:07.519
 This is where Christocentric resonance starts.

00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.500
 Remembering who Christ is and what he's done for you.

00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:14.500
 Could you imagine?

00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:15.000
 Could you imagine?

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:17.059
 Our church.

00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:20.460
 Living in the truth.

00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:22.799
 Of who you are in Christ.

00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:24.539
 Every day.

00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.120
 Every morning you leave your house.

00:14:28.820 --> 00:14:29.139
 Thinking.

00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:30.139
 Chosen.

00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:31.259
 In Christ.

00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:33.259
 Beloved by Christ.

00:14:33.539 --> 00:14:35.240
 To be holy like Christ.

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:35.340
 Christ.

00:14:37.580 --> 00:14:38.340
 Every morning.

00:14:40.180 --> 00:14:41.139
 Jenny, Mary and I.

00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:42.080
 We'll huddle up.

00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:43.299
 In our kitchen typically.

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:44.460
 And we will pray.

00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.240
 We'll commit our way to the Lord.

00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:48.879
 We will remember who we are.

00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:56.259
 This is the beginning of Christocentric resonance.

00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.740
 Where you remember who you are.

00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.879
 And when you remember who you are in Christ.

00:15:04.539 --> 00:15:06.200
 You got to dress accordingly.

00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:10.280
 You must put on Christ.

00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:12.840
 You must put on Christlikeness.

00:15:13.660 --> 00:15:16.220
 And we see this in verses 12 through 14.

00:15:17.180 --> 00:15:21.160
 Last week we looked at two admonitions.

00:15:21.460 --> 00:15:22.440
 Three actually.

00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.460
 Where we're to put off certain things.

00:15:25.580 --> 00:15:26.540
 To put away.

00:15:26.680 --> 00:15:27.620
 To put to death.

00:15:28.660 --> 00:15:30.340
 In verse 5 of chapter 3.

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.720
 It was a list of five sexual sins.

00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:34.320
 And in verse 8.

00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:36.879
 It was a list of five sins of speech.

00:15:37.680 --> 00:15:38.960
 And here in verse 12.

00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:41.960
 We have a list of five virtues.

00:15:42.700 --> 00:15:44.000
 That we're to put on.

00:15:45.460 --> 00:15:46.840
 Because of who we are.

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:48.480
 Now in Christ.

00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:50.460
 Let me just walk you through them.

00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:53.820
 Virtue number one.

00:15:54.139 --> 00:15:55.019
 Compassionate hearts.

00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.940
 You have a deep seated concern for others.

00:15:59.740 --> 00:16:00.259
 Kindness.

00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:01.759
 You do good to others.

00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:02.879
 Humility.

00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.639
 You consider others better than yourself.

00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:05.379
 Meekness.

00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:07.700
 You're gentle and tender towards others.

00:16:08.179 --> 00:16:08.659
 Patience.

00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.460
 You've got a long fuse towards others.

00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:12.939
 Ding, ding, ding, ding.

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:16.019
 That's the one that gets me every time.

00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:19.240
 Long fuse.

00:16:21.659 --> 00:16:22.939
 Now when you're looking at these.

00:16:22.980 --> 00:16:25.620
 You can't first help notice something.

00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:29.120
 That these virtues.

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.500
 Have a certain posture.

00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.200
 Towards other people.

00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:36.700
 If you think of 3.5 and 3.8.

00:16:36.779 --> 00:16:38.360
 Which are those sin lists.

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:40.379
 They have a posture towards people.

00:16:40.820 --> 00:16:42.720
 And when you are the controlling center.

00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:43.940
 Of your own life.

00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.679
 You will see people as a means to your end.

00:16:47.659 --> 00:16:48.460
 But here.

00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:49.840
 When you put on Christ.

00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:52.080
 When you remember who you are.

00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.440
 You don't see people as a means to your own end.

00:16:55.520 --> 00:17:00.780
 You start seeing people as a means to Christ's glorifying end.

00:17:00.779 --> 00:17:09.160
 The second thing I want you to notice about this list is.

00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:12.519
 It's profile.

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:17.440
 Boy this looks like somebody I know.

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:20.740
 I know this person.

00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:24.480
 This is a profile of Jesus.

00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:28.000
 Just like the fruit of the spirit.

00:17:28.099 --> 00:17:28.859
 In Galatians 5.

00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:29.819
 22 and 23.

00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:32.480
 Compassionate hearts.

00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.599
 Remember Jesus looked on the crowds.

00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:36.819
 Who were harassed and helpless.

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:38.399
 Like sheep without a shepherd.

00:17:38.819 --> 00:17:41.319
 And he had compassion on them.

00:17:41.500 --> 00:17:42.139
 Deeply moved.

00:17:43.099 --> 00:17:43.579
 Kindness.

00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:46.339
 The greatest do good.

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:47.160
 Kindness.

00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:48.460
 The Lord Jesus did.

00:17:48.619 --> 00:17:50.619
 Was to die in our place.

00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:52.039
 How about that for do good?

00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:53.740
 Humility.

00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:55.079
 Philippians 2.

00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:57.399
 Paul uses Jesus' example.

00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:59.059
 Of becoming a servant for us.

00:17:59.059 --> 00:18:01.419
 To consider others better than ourselves.

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:03.159
 Meekness.

00:18:03.339 --> 00:18:04.759
 Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 11?

00:18:05.879 --> 00:18:07.740
 All you who are weary and heavy laden.

00:18:07.919 --> 00:18:08.399
 Come to me.

00:18:09.659 --> 00:18:10.960
 Remember that gives the reason why.

00:18:12.019 --> 00:18:13.539
 Because I'm gentle and lowly.

00:18:15.879 --> 00:18:16.279
 Tender.

00:18:17.679 --> 00:18:18.419
 Come to me.

00:18:18.420 --> 00:18:22.400
 And man is he patient.

00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:25.480
 He's got a long fuse.

00:18:25.779 --> 00:18:26.980
 If you're reading the gospels.

00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:31.940
 And you are seeing how Jesus responds to his disciples over and over again.

00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.300
 Who just don't get it.

00:18:34.360 --> 00:18:35.420
 He's patient.

00:18:37.360 --> 00:18:38.920
 Remember Exodus 34.

00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:39.920
 Slow.

00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:40.920
 Slow.

00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:44.120
 To anger.

00:18:45.360 --> 00:18:48.240
 But abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:51.000
 This is a Jesus profile.

00:18:52.060 --> 00:18:53.180
 And that's why I say.

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:55.960
 We are to put on Christ.

00:18:57.019 --> 00:18:59.800
 We are to put on Christ likeness.

00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.899
 But in verse 14.

00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.539
 We have a super virtue.

00:19:08.539 --> 00:19:09.879
 Look at verse 14.

00:19:10.879 --> 00:19:13.539
 And above all these put on love.

00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:14.980
 Which binds everything together.

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:16.899
 In perfect harmony.

00:19:17.339 --> 00:19:19.879
 Most scholars think that the apostle Paul has in mind.

00:19:20.139 --> 00:19:21.879
 Some kind of overcoat.

00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:26.940
 That this love.

00:19:27.540 --> 00:19:29.380
 It lays over.

00:19:29.800 --> 00:19:31.960
 And binds it all together.

00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:35.140
 So it is a loving compassion.

00:19:36.320 --> 00:19:38.680
 So it is a loving kindness.

00:19:39.320 --> 00:19:42.100
 It is love manifested in humility.

00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.940
 Love manifested in meekness.

00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:48.700
 Love for others manifested in patience.

00:19:50.580 --> 00:19:51.500
 It's a Jesus.

00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:52.240
 Love.

00:19:54.820 --> 00:19:56.580
 There's something else about this love.

00:19:56.580 --> 00:19:57.540
 That you need to understand.

00:19:58.080 --> 00:20:00.140
 And the first readers of this.

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:00.920
 In the original language.

00:20:01.100 --> 00:20:02.240
 Would have heard it right away.

00:20:03.540 --> 00:20:04.620
 In our version.

00:20:04.780 --> 00:20:05.260
 We read this.

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:07.940
 And above all these put on love.

00:20:08.580 --> 00:20:10.000
 In the original language.

00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:10.860
 It reads like this.

00:20:12.380 --> 00:20:15.360
 And above all these put on the love.

00:20:16.420 --> 00:20:17.800
 The love.

00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:19.560
 And when.

00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:21.280
 If you were in Colossi hearing that.

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:21.660
 You'd be like.

00:20:21.660 --> 00:20:22.440
 What is the love?

00:20:22.820 --> 00:20:23.279
 And you're like.

00:20:23.360 --> 00:20:24.040
 Oh the love.

00:20:26.360 --> 00:20:27.160
 John 13.

00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:27.840
 Love.

00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:29.519
 John 13.

00:20:29.600 --> 00:20:30.360
 34 and 35.

00:20:30.560 --> 00:20:30.779
 Love.

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:32.080
 The new commandment.

00:20:32.120 --> 00:20:32.360
 Love.

00:20:33.019 --> 00:20:33.880
 Where Jesus says.

00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:34.840
 To his disciples.

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:35.440
 A new commandment.

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:36.040
 I give to you.

00:20:36.100 --> 00:20:36.960
 That you love one another.

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:38.400
 Just as I have loved you.

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:39.420
 You love one another.

00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:40.320
 And by this.

00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:41.160
 All people will know.

00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:42.840
 That you are my disciples.

00:20:43.040 --> 00:20:44.560
 If you have love for one another.

00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:45.820
 It's that love.

00:20:45.819 --> 00:20:46.319
 Love.

00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:47.639
 It's a sticky love.

00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:48.579
 Not sticky gross.

00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:50.359
 Sticky good.

00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:54.799
 It's where it sticks us all together.

00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:56.220
 As one body.

00:20:57.439 --> 00:20:58.579
 Uniting us.

00:20:59.879 --> 00:21:00.779
 Joined together.

00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:02.379
 Bound up together.

00:21:04.159 --> 00:21:05.339
 Bound up together in love.

00:21:06.939 --> 00:21:07.759
 A Jesus love.

00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:14.920
 We're to remember who we are in Christ.

00:21:15.019 --> 00:21:16.500
 So that we can don.

00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:18.140
 The Christ wear.

00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:20.160
 The Christ robes.

00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:22.160
 Overcoat of love.

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:25.680
 That's holiness.

00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:29.819
 That's Christ holiness.

00:21:29.819 --> 00:21:30.220
 It's.

00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:32.379
 It's.

00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:33.319
 Others oriented.

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:35.279
 It comes from a changed heart.

00:21:37.659 --> 00:21:38.579
 Next month.

00:21:38.819 --> 00:21:39.720
 My family.

00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:40.740
 We're going to.

00:21:40.899 --> 00:21:41.700
 Iowa City.

00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:42.259
 Iowa.

00:21:44.399 --> 00:21:44.879
 For.

00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:45.899
 My nephew's wedding.

00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:49.559
 And the invitation says.

00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:50.679
 Business cash.

00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:52.759
 So I'm going to look smooth.

00:21:53.099 --> 00:21:53.879
 Walking into there.

00:21:54.919 --> 00:21:55.799
 But you dress.

00:21:56.299 --> 00:21:57.599
 According to the situation.

00:21:59.819 --> 00:22:01.220
 What this is saying.

00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:03.279
 Is that you do not dress.

00:22:03.379 --> 00:22:03.740
 Christian.

00:22:03.859 --> 00:22:04.839
 According to the situation.

00:22:06.159 --> 00:22:07.399
 You dress.

00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:08.819
 According to who you are.

00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:10.000
 And who you are.

00:22:10.139 --> 00:22:11.039
 Is united to Christ.

00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:11.519
 And his death.

00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:12.000
 And resurrection.

00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:13.359
 So you dress.

00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:14.240
 Accordingly.

00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:16.980
 You put Jesus on.

00:22:18.939 --> 00:22:20.200
 You wear Christ.

00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:21.259
 Now the question becomes.

00:22:21.460 --> 00:22:22.419
 How do I do that Mike?

00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:24.179
 How do I put on Jesus?

00:22:25.379 --> 00:22:26.279
 Flip in your Bible.

00:22:26.439 --> 00:22:27.059
 There are two ways.

00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:29.079
 I want to encourage you this morning.

00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:29.980
 Two ways.

00:22:30.199 --> 00:22:30.500
 First.

00:22:31.439 --> 00:22:33.500
 Look at 2 Corinthians 3.18.

00:22:35.059 --> 00:22:36.259
 Here's the first way.

00:22:36.899 --> 00:22:37.939
 You put on Christ.

00:22:39.579 --> 00:22:41.199
 You behold him.

00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:45.279
 And we all.

00:22:45.859 --> 00:22:47.299
 With unveiled face.

00:22:48.179 --> 00:22:50.859
 Beholding the glory of the Lord.

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:52.019
 That's reference to Jesus.

00:22:52.019 --> 00:22:52.139
 Jesus.

00:22:53.139 --> 00:22:56.799
 Are being transformed.

00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:58.240
 From.

00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:01.460
 Into the same image.

00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:03.200
 From one degree of glory to another.

00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:05.059
 For this comes from the Lord.

00:23:05.139 --> 00:23:06.000
 Who is the spirit.

00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:07.180
 So do you see what's going on there?

00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:10.200
 When you behold the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:11.319
 In the pages of scripture.

00:23:11.980 --> 00:23:12.400
 And you're like.

00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:13.900
 Man he is wonderful and glorious.

00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:15.839
 The spirit is at work.

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:17.599
 Seeking to transform you.

00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:18.460
 Into his image.

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:18.539
 Age.

00:23:20.059 --> 00:23:21.220
 You behold him.

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:22.420
 And become like him.

00:23:22.539 --> 00:23:24.380
 As an outworking of the spirit's ministry.

00:23:24.380 --> 00:23:24.819
 In our life.

00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:25.440
 It's beautiful.

00:23:27.259 --> 00:23:28.740
 This ends up being a case.

00:23:28.740 --> 00:23:29.880
 For morning devotions.

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:32.860
 You don't have morning devotions.

00:23:32.860 --> 00:23:34.259
 In order to have morning devotions.

00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:36.000
 We have morning devotions.

00:23:36.100 --> 00:23:37.600
 We get our noses in our Bibles.

00:23:37.600 --> 00:23:38.519
 To behold Jesus.

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:40.059
 And become like him.

00:23:40.059 --> 00:23:42.960
 That's why we have morning devotions.

00:23:44.419 --> 00:23:45.700
 To commune with him.

00:23:46.019 --> 00:23:47.059
 To become like him.

00:23:47.500 --> 00:23:49.220
 To be transformed into his image.

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:51.259
 That's what I think is going on in verse 10.

00:23:52.379 --> 00:23:53.960
 And have put on the new self.

00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:55.919
 Which is being renewed.

00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:57.419
 In knowledge.

00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:59.220
 After the image.

00:23:59.779 --> 00:24:00.980
 Of its creator.

00:24:01.139 --> 00:24:02.119
 A reference to Jesus.

00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:05.299
 We are being renewed.

00:24:05.899 --> 00:24:06.740
 In the knowledge.

00:24:06.740 --> 00:24:07.799
 Of who he is.

00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:08.960
 And become like him.

00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:10.559
 Our characters.

00:24:10.860 --> 00:24:12.079
 We put on the Christ wear.

00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:15.720
 The second way.

00:24:16.140 --> 00:24:17.440
 We put on Christ.

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:20.920
 Is to ask God.

00:24:20.980 --> 00:24:21.880
 To fill us.

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:23.460
 With his spirit.

00:24:24.340 --> 00:24:24.720
 Daily.

00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:27.799
 The Holy Spirit.

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:29.100
 We know this from John 16.

00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:29.440
 14.

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:30.579
 Jesus himself said.

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:32.500
 He will glorify me.

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:35.039
 And so when we.

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:36.059
 Ask the father.

00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:37.220
 To pour out his spirit.

00:24:37.460 --> 00:24:38.220
 Upon us.

00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:40.000
 We should be expecting.

00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:41.920
 Christ to be magnified.

00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:42.460
 In our midst.

00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:44.360
 To be spotlighted.

00:24:44.940 --> 00:24:45.680
 And so a prayer.

00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:47.039
 Goes like something like this.

00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:47.940
 You open up your Bible.

00:24:48.360 --> 00:24:49.460
 You turn to some kind of.

00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:50.799
 Passage in the Gospels.

00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:51.380
 And you're like.

00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:52.779
 Father would you pour out your spirit.

00:24:53.059 --> 00:24:53.759
 On me.

00:24:54.100 --> 00:24:54.720
 So that I can.

00:24:54.779 --> 00:24:55.460
 I can behold.

00:24:55.600 --> 00:24:56.660
 And become like Christ.

00:24:58.559 --> 00:24:59.779
 To put off.

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.860
 The old self.

00:25:01.180 --> 00:25:02.120
 To put on.

00:25:02.339 --> 00:25:02.980
 The Christ.

00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:03.460
 Like.

00:25:03.660 --> 00:25:04.019
 Self.

00:25:04.120 --> 00:25:04.640
 New self.

00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:04.700
 And.

00:25:04.700 --> 00:25:04.740
 The old self.

00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:04.779
 The old self.

00:25:04.779 --> 00:25:06.700
 The old self.

00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:07.700
 The old self.

00:25:07.700 --> 00:25:09.299
 You know what that is?

00:25:12.100 --> 00:25:13.880
 It's the Holy Spirit.

00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:15.779
 Tuning us.

00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:20.720
 For Christocentric resonance.

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:25.059
 Inclining our hearts to Christ.

00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:28.039
 Conforming us to Christ.

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:28.180
 Christ.

00:25:29.899 --> 00:25:31.440
 That Christ would resonate.

00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:32.359
 Among us.

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:35.539
 So when each of us.

00:25:35.619 --> 00:25:36.759
 Is remembering who we are.

00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:37.920
 And each of us.

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:39.119
 Is putting on Christ.

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:40.519
 Dress accordingly believer.

00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:43.180
 Then we will resonate.

00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:44.559
 Christ together.

00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:47.019
 In 15.

00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:47.859
 Verses 15.

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:48.240
 16.

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:48.819
 And 17.

00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:50.619
 Paul.

00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:52.319
 Paul exhorts us.

00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:54.779
 To resonate Christ.

00:25:55.180 --> 00:25:56.039
 Along three lines.

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:58.440
 The first one.

00:25:58.440 --> 00:25:59.379
 Has to do with peace.

00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:00.500
 Look at verse 15.

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:02.500
 And he let.

00:26:02.899 --> 00:26:04.119
 And let the peace of Christ.

00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:04.899
 Rule in your hearts.

00:26:05.059 --> 00:26:05.399
 To which.

00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:06.480
 Indeed you were called.

00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:07.139
 In one body.

00:26:07.339 --> 00:26:07.980
 And be thankful.

00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:10.519
 First notice.

00:26:10.619 --> 00:26:11.559
 The plural hearts.

00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:14.559
 He's talking to the whole church.

00:26:15.139 --> 00:26:15.460
 Y'alls.

00:26:15.619 --> 00:26:15.980
 Hearts.

00:26:17.579 --> 00:26:18.559
 The peace of Christ.

00:26:18.659 --> 00:26:19.659
 Is to be resonating.

00:26:19.779 --> 00:26:20.579
 In each of our hearts.

00:26:20.639 --> 00:26:21.480
 So when we come together.

00:26:21.639 --> 00:26:21.980
 It resonates.

00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:23.500
 In all of our hearts.

00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:28.460
 We each are to be ruled.

00:26:28.579 --> 00:26:29.700
 By the peace of Christ.

00:26:30.660 --> 00:26:31.700
 Along two dimensions.

00:26:32.779 --> 00:26:33.200
 First.

00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:34.220
 It is vertical.

00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:36.000
 The peace.

00:26:36.420 --> 00:26:37.059
 Of Christ.

00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:38.059
 Which he has brought.

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:38.779
 As a result.

00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:40.400
 Of bearing God's wrath.

00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:41.740
 For each of our sins.

00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:42.619
 And therefore.

00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:43.619
 Making.

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:44.660
 Fully forgiving.

00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:45.140
 Us.

00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:47.700
 Peace.

00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:49.299
 With God.

00:26:51.700 --> 00:26:53.079
 No more condemnation.

00:26:53.500 --> 00:26:55.119
 For those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:58.799
 He brings about a vertical peace.

00:26:59.859 --> 00:27:01.079
 But he also.

00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:02.000
 Has accomplished.

00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:04.539
 A horizontal peace.

00:27:07.420 --> 00:27:08.599
 Peace with each other.

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:12.119
 Christ's death.

00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:14.019
 Purchased our peace.

00:27:14.339 --> 00:27:15.059
 Brothers and sisters.

00:27:16.660 --> 00:27:17.880
 It's already ours.

00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:20.039
 We maintain it.

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:23.399
 He is our peace.

00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:27.420
 Regardless of your Democrat or Republican.

00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:29.519
 Regardless of your black or white.

00:27:30.399 --> 00:27:32.000
 Regardless of your educated, non-educated.

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:33.339
 Regardless of where you're living.

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:35.000
 Regardless of what your interests are.

00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:37.299
 We're united together in Christ.

00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:38.700
 Bound up together.

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:40.559
 Through Christ.

00:27:40.639 --> 00:27:41.159
 At peace.

00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:41.920
 Through Christ.

00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:41.940
 Through Christ.

00:27:41.940 --> 00:27:44.559
 And the primary way we.

00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:47.200
 Experience that peace.

00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:49.460
 Is in verse 13.

00:27:54.840 --> 00:27:55.980
 Bearing with one another.

00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:59.279
 And if one has a complaint against another.

00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:00.380
 Forgiving each other.

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:02.299
 As the Lord has forgiven you.

00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:03.720
 So you also must forgive.

00:28:03.820 --> 00:28:04.400
 To what end?

00:28:04.580 --> 00:28:05.759
 To maintain the peace.

00:28:06.380 --> 00:28:06.940
 We don't avoid.

00:28:08.360 --> 00:28:08.640
 Sin.

00:28:08.860 --> 00:28:09.539
 In our church.

00:28:09.539 --> 00:28:11.920
 We deal with it accordingly.

00:28:14.539 --> 00:28:17.200
 Whether that means asking a brother or sister.

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:18.240
 To forgive you.

00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:19.839
 For sin that you committed.

00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:22.399
 Or forgiving a brother or sister.

00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:23.720
 Who has sinned against you.

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:26.420
 These are active.

00:28:26.639 --> 00:28:27.960
 Dynamic categories.

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:29.839
 That take place within a church.

00:28:29.980 --> 00:28:30.899
 It's normal.

00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:34.519
 This is how we walk in a manner.

00:28:34.619 --> 00:28:35.399
 Worthy of the Lord.

00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:35.480
 Lord.

00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:39.720
 Just as the Lord has forgiven you.

00:28:39.800 --> 00:28:40.960
 So also you must forgive.

00:28:41.080 --> 00:28:42.900
 And when we are forgiving each other.

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:44.320
 As Christ has forgiven us.

00:28:44.460 --> 00:28:45.660
 The peace of Christ.

00:28:46.060 --> 00:28:47.019
 Rules us.

00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:50.580
 And when the peace of Christ.

00:28:50.740 --> 00:28:51.240
 Rules us.

00:28:51.360 --> 00:28:52.259
 There will be some.

00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:53.759
 Christocentric.

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:54.640
 Resonance.

00:28:54.800 --> 00:28:55.400
 Among us.

00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:56.980
 We're going to be on the same frequency.

00:28:59.800 --> 00:29:00.940
 We're going to be saying things like.

00:29:01.060 --> 00:29:01.220
 Isn't.

00:29:01.660 --> 00:29:02.780
 Isn't God so good.

00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:05.119
 That we can forgive each other freely.

00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:06.220
 And not hold grudges.

00:29:07.339 --> 00:29:08.619
 Unlike the rest.

00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:09.819
 Of the world.

00:29:12.619 --> 00:29:13.639
 One body gang.

00:29:14.899 --> 00:29:15.720
 One body.

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:19.160
 United by this peace.

00:29:19.579 --> 00:29:20.000
 This.

00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:22.319
 The second line.

00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:23.500
 The second way.

00:29:23.660 --> 00:29:24.599
 We resonate Christ.

00:29:24.859 --> 00:29:25.460
 With one another.

00:29:25.639 --> 00:29:26.359
 Is in verse 16.

00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:29.019
 Let the word of Christ.

00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:29.899
 Dwell in you richly.

00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:31.299
 Teaching and admonishing one another.

00:29:31.299 --> 00:29:31.960
 In all wisdom.

00:29:32.500 --> 00:29:33.940
 Singing psalms and hymns.

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:34.779
 And spiritual songs.

00:29:34.859 --> 00:29:35.940
 With thankfulness in your hearts.

00:29:36.059 --> 00:29:36.579
 To God.

00:29:38.019 --> 00:29:40.059
 We resonate the word of Christ together.

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:41.740
 We resonate Christ's peace together.

00:29:42.099 --> 00:29:44.619
 We resonate the word of Christ together.

00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:45.879
 The word of Christ.

00:29:45.980 --> 00:29:47.639
 Is the truth about Christ.

00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:49.779
 It's the truth of who he is.

00:29:49.859 --> 00:29:50.559
 What he's done.

00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:51.440
 What he's doing.

00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:52.940
 What he will be doing.

00:29:53.220 --> 00:29:54.139
 It's all of that.

00:29:54.700 --> 00:29:55.379
 The word of Christ.

00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:56.099
 Another word for it.

00:29:56.099 --> 00:29:56.599
 Is the gospel.

00:29:57.500 --> 00:29:58.500
 The good news.

00:29:58.500 --> 00:29:59.200
 Of Jesus.

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.900
 Who he is.

00:30:01.180 --> 00:30:01.819
 What he's doing.

00:30:03.099 --> 00:30:05.420
 It's a body of facts.

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:06.460
 Truth.

00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:09.240
 And it's got to.

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:11.700
 Dwell richly among us.

00:30:12.859 --> 00:30:13.900
 That word dwell.

00:30:14.180 --> 00:30:15.240
 It means to like.

00:30:15.380 --> 00:30:16.259
 Take up residence.

00:30:19.660 --> 00:30:21.180
 Jesus occupying.

00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:22.339
 All the different rooms.

00:30:22.420 --> 00:30:23.019
 Of your house.

00:30:23.859 --> 00:30:25.059
 Jesus occupying.

00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:26.180
 The truth of Jesus.

00:30:26.180 --> 00:30:28.120
 Is occupying every room.

00:30:28.120 --> 00:30:28.860
 In this building.

00:30:28.860 --> 00:30:29.660
 Of our church.

00:30:32.980 --> 00:30:34.759
 The truth about Christ.

00:30:35.840 --> 00:30:36.200
 Dwelling.

00:30:37.779 --> 00:30:38.380
 And where the.

00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:40.240
 The truth of Christ is.

00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:41.580
 Christ is.

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:43.039
 Dwelling.

00:30:47.380 --> 00:30:48.180
 And you notice.

00:30:48.420 --> 00:30:49.440
 It dwells a certain way.

00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:52.279
 Richly.

00:30:54.100 --> 00:30:55.039
 Big payoff.

00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:57.019
 Big dividends.

00:30:58.060 --> 00:30:58.799
 Here's what I think.

00:30:58.860 --> 00:30:59.580
 Is being said there.

00:31:00.580 --> 00:31:01.440
 When the truth.

00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:02.539
 Of Christ.

00:31:03.100 --> 00:31:03.880
 And who he is.

00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:04.640
 And what he's doing.

00:31:04.940 --> 00:31:06.340
 Is dwelling among a people.

00:31:06.420 --> 00:31:07.440
 Do you know what people are doing?

00:31:10.340 --> 00:31:11.240
 Delighting in him.

00:31:13.340 --> 00:31:14.080
 Treasuring him.

00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:15.019
 Above all else.

00:31:16.320 --> 00:31:17.740
 There's no one like you.

00:31:18.120 --> 00:31:19.519
 I'll give my life for you.

00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:20.640
 You're worth it all.

00:31:20.900 --> 00:31:22.640
 And when it's just not one guy saying it.

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:24.140
 But 200 people saying it.

00:31:24.140 --> 00:31:26.900
 You've got Christocentric resonance.

00:31:29.140 --> 00:31:30.340
 When he is.

00:31:30.600 --> 00:31:32.380
 Our all consuming passion.

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:36.160
 Now.

00:31:36.300 --> 00:31:37.020
 How does that happen?

00:31:37.580 --> 00:31:38.480
 How does the word.

00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:39.960
 The truth of Christ.

00:31:40.080 --> 00:31:41.160
 Dwell richly among us.

00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:42.480
 Well he points to a couple things here.

00:31:43.040 --> 00:31:44.520
 Teaching and admonishing.

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:46.020
 Teaching is simply instructing.

00:31:46.060 --> 00:31:46.940
 Like what we do here.

00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:49.040
 Who Jesus is.

00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:50.440
 Think of.

00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:52.379
 Colossians 1.

00:31:52.460 --> 00:31:53.279
 15 through 20.

00:31:54.420 --> 00:31:55.240
 The Lord Jesus.

00:31:55.420 --> 00:31:57.299
 As the firstborn of creation.

00:31:57.559 --> 00:31:58.639
 And the firstborn from the dead.

00:31:58.720 --> 00:31:59.740
 He's the king of all.

00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:01.019
 That's.

00:32:01.159 --> 00:32:02.000
 That's truth.

00:32:02.099 --> 00:32:03.480
 That's instruction about Jesus.

00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:05.359
 Admonishing.

00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:07.399
 Is corrective in nature.

00:32:07.940 --> 00:32:09.379
 That's chapter 3 verse 5.

00:32:09.500 --> 00:32:10.779
 That's chapter 3 verse 8.

00:32:10.859 --> 00:32:12.319
 Where we're told to put stuff off.

00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:13.299
 Don't do that.

00:32:13.299 --> 00:32:13.379
 That.

00:32:15.379 --> 00:32:16.519
 This shows up.

00:32:16.639 --> 00:32:17.859
 Both these words show up.

00:32:17.980 --> 00:32:19.039
 In 128.

00:32:20.460 --> 00:32:21.299
 Him we proclaim.

00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:22.059
 Warning.

00:32:22.619 --> 00:32:23.619
 Admonishing everyone.

00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:24.960
 And teaching.

00:32:25.139 --> 00:32:25.960
 Instructing everyone.

00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:26.639
 With all wisdom.

00:32:26.940 --> 00:32:28.279
 That we may present everyone.

00:32:28.399 --> 00:32:29.039
 Mature in Christ.

00:32:29.139 --> 00:32:30.039
 The goal is Christ.

00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:31.659
 To present people.

00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:32.299
 Mature in Christ.

00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:33.539
 To move people towards Christ.

00:32:33.659 --> 00:32:35.359
 To treasure Christ.

00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:36.559
 Above all else.

00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:41.879
 And we're seeking to do this.

00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:43.140
 In all the different venues.

00:32:43.140 --> 00:32:44.000
 Of our life together.

00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:44.620
 As a church.

00:32:46.080 --> 00:32:47.020
 Whether it's here.

00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:47.780
 In the sanctuary.

00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:48.520
 On a Sunday morning.

00:32:49.420 --> 00:32:50.440
 In the fellowship hall.

00:32:51.600 --> 00:32:52.640
 In our kids kings.

00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:53.940
 Our kids classrooms.

00:32:54.940 --> 00:32:55.800
 You name it.

00:32:55.900 --> 00:32:56.520
 Life groups.

00:32:56.820 --> 00:32:57.340
 Youth group.

00:32:58.240 --> 00:32:59.200
 This is the end.

00:32:59.700 --> 00:33:00.380
 This is the aim.

00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:02.100
 To lift up Christ.

00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:05.180
 We're also told that.

00:33:07.760 --> 00:33:08.660
 The word of Christ.

00:33:08.760 --> 00:33:09.740
 Was richly among us.

00:33:09.840 --> 00:33:10.320
 Through singing.

00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:10.460
 Singing.

00:33:12.980 --> 00:33:14.259
 Zach's going to come back to this.

00:33:14.299 --> 00:33:14.919
 In a couple weeks.

00:33:15.019 --> 00:33:15.980
 When he preaches a sermon.

00:33:16.939 --> 00:33:17.740
 On worship.

00:33:20.539 --> 00:33:21.419
 But we're to sing.

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:22.899
 Psalms and hymns.

00:33:22.939 --> 00:33:23.659
 And spiritual songs.

00:33:23.819 --> 00:33:24.579
 Aren't you glad.

00:33:24.659 --> 00:33:26.019
 That we don't have to be limited.

00:33:26.379 --> 00:33:27.559
 To one way.

00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:28.119
 Of singing.

00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:33.319
 But I just want to take a moment.

00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:35.059
 And just to make one point.

00:33:35.059 --> 00:33:40.440
 What we sing about.

00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:40.839
 Matters.

00:33:43.099 --> 00:33:44.740
 The content.

00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:46.119
 Of our singing.

00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:47.720
 Matters.

00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:50.380
 We sing songs.

00:33:50.380 --> 00:33:51.539
 We sing songs.

00:33:51.539 --> 00:33:53.660
 That are theologically rich.

00:33:54.019 --> 00:33:55.100
 Doctrinally robust.

00:33:55.500 --> 00:33:56.680
 Musically beautiful.

00:33:57.779 --> 00:33:58.480
 Godward.

00:33:58.680 --> 00:33:59.319
 Christward.

00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:00.279
 In their aim.

00:34:01.059 --> 00:34:01.980
 So that.

00:34:02.539 --> 00:34:03.680
 The truth of Christ.

00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:05.420
 Dwells richly among us.

00:34:06.220 --> 00:34:07.559
 We instruct one another.

00:34:09.460 --> 00:34:11.179
 One of the implications of that.

00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:11.699
 Is this.

00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:13.300
 This gathering.

00:34:13.500 --> 00:34:14.220
 On a Sunday morning.

00:34:14.219 --> 00:34:17.000
 This is one of the primary ways.

00:34:17.899 --> 00:34:19.219
 The truth about Christ.

00:34:19.339 --> 00:34:20.539
 Dwells richly among us.

00:34:21.319 --> 00:34:22.679
 It's why we prioritize it.

00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:25.799
 Every aspect of this service.

00:34:26.419 --> 00:34:27.279
 Whether it's from the.

00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:29.139
 The opening and closing scriptures.

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:29.799
 To the.

00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:32.919
 The prayers we pray.

00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:34.219
 The songs we sing.

00:34:34.319 --> 00:34:35.359
 The sermons we preach.

00:34:35.759 --> 00:34:37.899
 Ultimately are to magnify Christ.

00:34:40.959 --> 00:34:42.079
 That's why we do this.

00:34:44.219 --> 00:34:46.119
 And that you walk out of here.

00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.519
 Resonating.

00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:49.000
 Christ.

00:34:49.939 --> 00:34:51.139
 With brothers and sisters.

00:34:51.139 --> 00:34:52.039
 Of the same mind.

00:34:53.459 --> 00:34:54.439
 Same frequency.

00:34:57.019 --> 00:34:57.459
 Strengthened.

00:34:58.759 --> 00:34:59.439
 Verse 17.

00:34:59.819 --> 00:35:00.859
 We have the last way.

00:35:01.059 --> 00:35:01.179
 It's.

00:35:02.379 --> 00:35:03.919
 We resonate the name of Christ.

00:35:04.859 --> 00:35:06.339
 We resonate the peace of Christ.

00:35:06.459 --> 00:35:07.719
 We resonate the word of Christ.

00:35:07.839 --> 00:35:09.539
 We resonate the name of Christ.

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:11.139
 In everything that we do.

00:35:11.139 --> 00:35:14.400
 It's not about me.

00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:15.579
 Making a name for myself.

00:35:16.219 --> 00:35:17.759
 It's not about us.

00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:18.940
 Making a name for Christ.

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:19.659
 The King Church.

00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:22.059
 It's about making much.

00:35:22.059 --> 00:35:22.920
 Of the name.

00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:24.339
 Of the Lord.

00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:24.920
 Jesus.

00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:27.339
 In everything.

00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:28.259
 Word and deed.

00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:29.019
 In everything.

00:35:29.179 --> 00:35:29.819
 In everything.

00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:30.599
 In everything.

00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:32.559
 He becomes our one.

00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:33.299
 Consuming passion.

00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:34.779
 He's the controlling center.

00:35:34.779 --> 00:35:35.460
 Of our life.

00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:37.119
 We're pointing people back to him.

00:35:37.179 --> 00:35:37.460
 Again.

00:35:37.539 --> 00:35:38.000
 And again.

00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:38.539
 And again.

00:35:38.539 --> 00:35:40.559
 It's all inclusive.

00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:43.000
 It's comprehensive.

00:35:44.300 --> 00:35:45.480
 Nothing is untouched.

00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:47.960
 It's all for his name.

00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:49.219
 Do you know what this does?

00:35:50.420 --> 00:35:51.099
 You've got.

00:35:51.259 --> 00:35:53.059
 A very helpful diagnostic now.

00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:55.039
 Before you say something.

00:35:56.519 --> 00:35:57.380
 Oh Lord Jesus.

00:35:57.539 --> 00:35:58.599
 Does this make much of your name?

00:36:00.500 --> 00:36:01.679
 Before you do something.

00:36:02.219 --> 00:36:02.820
 Oh Lord.

00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:03.559
 Before I click.

00:36:03.659 --> 00:36:05.079
 Would this make much of your name?

00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.219
 Oh Lord.

00:36:07.299 --> 00:36:08.599
 Before I post this.

00:36:08.659 --> 00:36:09.559
 About this person.

00:36:09.779 --> 00:36:11.319
 That I don't like much.

00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:11.980
 Would.

00:36:13.099 --> 00:36:14.539
 Would this bring glory to your name?

00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:17.099
 You see.

00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:17.599
 It's.

00:36:18.460 --> 00:36:19.579
 It's a life changer.

00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:21.139
 It's a paradigm shift.

00:36:21.139 --> 00:36:22.019
 For all of us.

00:36:22.659 --> 00:36:23.679
 Not for us.

00:36:23.860 --> 00:36:24.480
 For him.

00:36:26.099 --> 00:36:27.079
 Do you know what happens?

00:36:27.819 --> 00:36:29.779
 When a church is more and more.

00:36:30.099 --> 00:36:31.239
 Seeking to do everything.

00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:33.219
 In the name of the Lord Jesus.

00:36:33.219 --> 00:36:36.179
 Christocentric resonance.

00:36:39.759 --> 00:36:40.959
 Budget process.

00:36:42.500 --> 00:36:44.119
 To the name of the Lord Jesus.

00:36:45.379 --> 00:36:47.199
 Renovating our fellowship hall.

00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:50.179
 In the name of the Lord Jesus.

00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:51.879
 Marriage.

00:36:52.500 --> 00:36:53.319

00:36:53.859 --> 00:36:55.279
 In the name of the Lord Jesus.

00:36:56.059 --> 00:36:56.439
 Parenting.

00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:57.179
 Being a child.

00:36:57.679 --> 00:36:59.179
 In the name of the Lord Jesus.

00:36:59.179 --> 00:36:59.379
 Jesus.

00:36:59.899 --> 00:37:01.659
 Your life at work.

00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:03.319
 In the name of the Lord Jesus.

00:37:03.759 --> 00:37:04.759
 It's everything.

00:37:04.940 --> 00:37:05.960
 And we're going to be tackling that.

00:37:06.019 --> 00:37:06.839
 In the next several weeks.

00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:09.079
 When the peace of Christ.

00:37:10.059 --> 00:37:11.500
 Is ruling in us.

00:37:11.899 --> 00:37:13.739
 And when the word of Christ.

00:37:13.739 --> 00:37:15.519
 Is dwelling richly in us.

00:37:15.759 --> 00:37:17.299
 And when the name of Christ.

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:19.319
 Is being magnified in all things.

00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:20.259
 By us.

00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:21.039
 We.

00:37:21.399 --> 00:37:21.879
 Will.

00:37:24.339 --> 00:37:24.739
 Christocentric.

00:37:25.059 --> 00:37:25.659
 Resonance.

00:37:25.919 --> 00:37:27.579
 And we'll be saying things like this.

00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:28.000
 To each other.

00:37:28.099 --> 00:37:28.819
 Isn't he good?

00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:31.159
 Isn't he good?

00:37:33.399 --> 00:37:35.059
 All glory to the name of Jesus.

00:37:37.179 --> 00:37:38.399
 When you have two.

00:37:38.859 --> 00:37:40.079
 Tuned baby grands.

00:37:40.179 --> 00:37:40.859
 On a stage.

00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:42.359
 And you strike center seat.

00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:42.859
 On one.

00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:43.199
 Ding.

00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:43.679
 Ding.

00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:45.039
 You're going to hear it.

00:37:45.139 --> 00:37:45.419
 Hum.

00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:45.960
 In the other.

00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:48.039
 How about five.

00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:48.739
 On a stage.

00:37:50.659 --> 00:37:50.960
 Hum.

00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:52.039
 How about 50.

00:37:52.919 --> 00:37:53.399
 100.

00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:54.639
 200.

00:37:54.879 --> 00:37:55.539
 In the same room.

00:37:55.919 --> 00:37:56.219
 Bam.

00:37:56.419 --> 00:37:56.579
 Ding.

00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:56.759

 See.

00:38:07.359 --> 00:38:08.440
 Sympathetic resonance.

00:38:09.899 --> 00:38:11.919
 And when the spirit of God.

00:38:13.139 --> 00:38:14.319
 Strikes center.

00:38:14.659 --> 00:38:15.119
 See.

00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:17.079
 Christ central.

00:38:17.799 --> 00:38:18.699
 In a Christian.

00:38:18.699 --> 00:38:21.839
 And that resonates.

00:38:21.839 --> 00:38:24.079
 With other Christians in the room.

00:38:24.139 --> 00:38:25.199
 Whether it's five.

00:38:25.460 --> 00:38:26.939
 Or whether it's 50.

00:38:27.139 --> 00:38:27.899
 Or 100.

00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:28.299
 200.

00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:28.899
 300.

00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:31.039
 In that room.

00:38:31.179 --> 00:38:33.000
 When tuned by the spirit.

00:38:33.339 --> 00:38:34.679
 And there is a yes.

00:38:34.819 --> 00:38:35.799
 And amen.

00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:36.439
 To Jesus.

00:38:36.579 --> 00:38:37.239
 You've got.

00:38:37.919 --> 00:38:39.139
 Christocentric resonance.

00:38:39.139 --> 00:38:39.980
 Through thankfulness.

00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:41.420
 And you know what?

00:38:41.980 --> 00:38:43.259
 It sounds a certain way.

00:38:44.619 --> 00:38:46.179
 Look at the end of verse 15.

00:38:47.619 --> 00:38:48.579
 And be thankful.

00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:50.900
 Look at the end of verse 16.

00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:53.119
 With thankfulness in your hearts to God.

00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:55.079
 Look at the end of verse 17.

00:38:55.779 --> 00:38:57.940
 Giving thanks to God the Father through him.

00:38:58.659 --> 00:39:02.099
 You know how this Christocentric resonance is heard?

00:39:02.099 --> 00:39:05.579
 Through thankfulness to God.

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:10.099
 From those hearts that treasure Jesus together.

00:39:11.659 --> 00:39:13.599
 Christocentric resonance brothers and sisters.

00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:15.299
 Let's do it.

00:39:16.539 --> 00:39:17.799
 Let's ask God to do it.

00:39:18.739 --> 00:39:19.219
 Let's pray.

00:39:20.699 --> 00:39:21.539
 God in heaven.

00:39:22.860 --> 00:39:25.920
 Father we can't manufacture this stuff.

00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:27.579
 But we can walk according to your word.

00:39:27.900 --> 00:39:30.099
 And we can ask for you to do things.

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:32.900
 Father would you pour out your spirit upon us.

00:39:32.980 --> 00:39:33.619
 Your church.

00:39:34.500 --> 00:39:37.559
 That Christ would be magnified in our lives.

00:39:38.759 --> 00:39:41.759
 Both in the changing of our lives.

00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:43.500
 Into Christlikeness.

00:39:44.420 --> 00:39:44.900
 And.

00:39:46.019 --> 00:39:48.279
 Into shared joy.

00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:49.659
 More and more.

00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:50.739
 In our life together.

00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:51.759
 As a church.

00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:55.000
 God we are thankful to you.

00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:56.000
 For what you're doing.

00:39:57.940 --> 00:39:58.980
 Bringing peace.

00:39:58.980 --> 00:40:01.519
 Causing your word of Christ to dwell.

00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:03.900
 In every aspect.

00:40:04.139 --> 00:40:04.980
 Do it all.

00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:06.619
 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:07.920
 You are worthy Lord.

00:40:08.340 --> 00:40:09.059
 It's your name we pray.

00:40:09.059 --> 00:40:10.000
 Amen.
