WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.320
 Yeah, thanks. Thanks.

00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:17.160
 Good morning, everyone. It's nice to see you.

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:19.539
! Thank you.

00:00:19.539 --> 00:00:22.019
 Thank you. One response, not bad.

00:00:22.919 --> 00:00:25.859
 Please turn to 2 Corinthians chapter 8.

00:00:39.859 --> 00:00:42.420
 2 Corinthians chapter 8.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.000
 We took a break there just before Christmas

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.379
 when we were looking at Isaiah 42.

00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.800
 And now we're back to 2 Corinthians again.

00:00:57.480 --> 00:00:59.560
 So we're going to read chapter 8,

00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.840
 verses 1 through to 15 together.

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.820
 2 Corinthians 8, starting at verse 1.

00:01:07.820 --> 00:01:11.379
 Let's hear God's word to us.

00:01:11.379 --> 00:01:16.659
 And now, brothers and sisters,

00:01:17.339 --> 00:01:22.759
 we want you to know about the grace God has given the Macedonian churches.

00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.440
 In the midst of a very severe trial,

00:01:26.620 --> 00:01:30.719
 their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty

00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.320
 welled up in rich generosity.

00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:39.079
 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.279
 and even beyond their ability.

00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:45.379
 Entirely on their own,

00:01:46.419 --> 00:01:48.599
 they urgently pleaded with us

00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.019
 for the privilege of sharing in the service of the Lord's people.

00:01:52.019 --> 00:01:56.000
 And they exceeded our expectations.

00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.840
 They gave themselves first of all to the Lord

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.179
 and then by the will of God also to us.

00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:06.340
 So we urge Titus,

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.140
 just as he had earlier made a beginning,

00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:10.980
 to bring also to completion

00:02:10.980 --> 00:02:14.340
 this act of grace on your part.

00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:17.520
 But since you excel in everything,

00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:19.599
 in faith, in speech, in knowledge,

00:02:19.979 --> 00:02:21.400
 in complete earnestness,

00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.539
 and in the love we have kindled in you,

00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.860
 see that you also excel

00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:30.780
 in this grace of giving.

00:02:32.740 --> 00:02:34.460
 I'm not commanding you,

00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:38.199
 but I want to test the sincerity of your love

00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:41.599
 by comparing it with the earnestness of others.

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:46.639
 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.799
 that though he was rich,

00:02:50.620 --> 00:02:53.459
 yet for your sake he became poor,

00:02:54.359 --> 00:02:57.599
 so that you, through his poverty,

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:00.579
 might become rich.

00:03:02.359 --> 00:03:03.979
 And here is my judgment

00:03:03.979 --> 00:03:06.039
 about what is best for you in this matter.

00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.400
 Last year you were the first not only to give,

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.319
 but also to have the desire to do so.

00:03:13.620 --> 00:03:15.159
 Now finish the work,

00:03:15.700 --> 00:03:18.480
 so that your eager willingness to do it

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:21.000
 may be matched by your completion of it

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.240
 according to your means.

00:03:24.700 --> 00:03:26.379
 For if the willingness is there,

00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:28.520
 the gift is acceptable

00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.439
 according to what one has,

00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.080
 not according to what one does not have.

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.840
 Our desire is not that others might be relieved

00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.380
 while you are hard-pressed,

00:03:40.980 --> 00:03:43.240
 but that there might be equality.

00:03:44.780 --> 00:03:46.140
 At the present time,

00:03:46.220 --> 00:03:49.120
 your plenty will supply what they need,

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:53.600
 so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need.

00:03:54.600 --> 00:03:57.240
 The goal is equality.

00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.640
 As it is written,

00:04:00.980 --> 00:04:02.379
 the one who gathered much

00:04:02.379 --> 00:04:04.460
 did not have too much,

00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:06.860
 and the one who gathered little

00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:09.640
 did not have too little.

00:04:11.219 --> 00:04:13.800
 Well, let's keep our Bibles open there

00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:14.560
 at 2 Corinthians.

00:04:14.820 --> 00:04:15.500
 We'll pray,

00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:18.240
 and then we'll get into God's Word.

00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:19.620
 So let's pray together.

00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:28.199
 Taste and see

00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:32.500
 that the Lord is good.

00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:37.780
 Father, help us now by your Spirit

00:04:37.780 --> 00:04:41.660
 to feed on your Word

00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:46.939
 so that we may see and experience

00:04:46.939 --> 00:04:48.879
 your goodness

00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.459
 in our lives

00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:54.899
 and that we may be changed

00:04:54.899 --> 00:04:58.079
 to be those who are good

00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.339
 in our generosity

00:05:00.339 --> 00:05:02.079
 and giving to others.

00:05:03.579 --> 00:05:05.079
 Help us now, we pray.

00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.040
 In Jesus' name.

00:05:08.060 --> 00:05:08.560
 Amen.

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.519
 Back a number of years ago

00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.939
 when I was training for pastoral ministry,

00:05:17.939 --> 00:05:19.379
 I was given a list

00:05:19.379 --> 00:05:20.719
 by the minister

00:05:20.719 --> 00:05:22.480
 to visit people

00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:23.699
 I had to go and see.

00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:25.939
 One man that I went to see

00:05:25.939 --> 00:05:28.680
 was in a very exclusive care home.

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:30.800
 I arrived one day

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.699
 to find him in his right mind,

00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:34.800
 but all in a panic.

00:05:36.180 --> 00:05:37.699
 He had misplaced

00:05:37.699 --> 00:05:40.040
 a 20-cent coin

00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.180
 and he couldn't find it.

00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:44.480
 He'd become overwhelmed

00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:45.600
 with anxiety

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:46.939
 and concern.

00:05:48.139 --> 00:05:49.180
 But the thing is,

00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:50.439
 this man was a very,

00:05:50.579 --> 00:05:52.459
 very wealthy man.

00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.120
 But yet he was concerned

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.540
 for a missing few pennies.

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.240
 How sad, I thought,

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.519
 to get to that stage

00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:02.420
 and to be worried

00:06:02.420 --> 00:06:04.199
 about a few pence.

00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.459
 I also visited

00:06:06.459 --> 00:06:07.759
 an older lady.

00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:08.639
 She lived alone

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:09.860
 in her small house

00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:11.959
 and on most occasions

00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:13.240
 whenever I was leaving,

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:14.560
 she would hand me

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:15.099
 an envelope

00:06:15.099 --> 00:06:16.500
 with a name on it

00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:18.039
 or a mission organisation

00:06:18.039 --> 00:06:18.699
 on it

00:06:18.699 --> 00:06:19.420
 and say,

00:06:20.139 --> 00:06:21.060
 make sure

00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:22.579
 this gets

00:06:22.579 --> 00:06:24.180
 to the right person.

00:06:25.339 --> 00:06:26.919
 She didn't have much,

00:06:27.579 --> 00:06:29.599
 but there was a desire

00:06:29.599 --> 00:06:31.099
 to give.

00:06:31.100 --> 00:06:34.660
 One was wealthy

00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:36.840
 and tight-fisted.

00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:39.840
 The other was poor

00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:42.500
 but open-handed.

00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.920
 Now what makes the difference

00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.600
 between those two people?

00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:52.720
 Well, very simply

00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.100
 and in one word,

00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:56.080
 grace.

00:06:57.580 --> 00:06:59.820
 Knowing God's goodness

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:01.519
 and kindness

00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.279
 and love

00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.500
 and acceptance

00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:08.480
 made all the difference.

00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:09.879
 You see,

00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:11.040
 experiencing

00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.219
 God's grace

00:07:13.219 --> 00:07:16.019
 will transform us

00:07:16.019 --> 00:07:17.379
 into generous

00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:18.339
 givers.

00:07:19.939 --> 00:07:21.259
 Look at verse 1.

00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:23.819
 And now,

00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:25.439
 brothers and sisters,

00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:28.519
 so he's changing course here.

00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:29.959
 For the first seven chapters,

00:07:30.159 --> 00:07:31.319
 it's been an encouragement

00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.379
 about how we should live

00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:34.620
 our Christian life

00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:35.819
 and ministry.

00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.240
 Now the focus changes

00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.539
 to financial giving.

00:07:40.799 --> 00:07:41.399
 Verse 1.

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:42.500
 And now,

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:43.459
 brothers and sisters,

00:07:43.459 --> 00:07:44.759
 we want you to know

00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.799
 about the grace

00:07:46.799 --> 00:07:49.519
 that God has given.

00:07:50.819 --> 00:07:53.339
 God is a generous giver,

00:07:53.339 --> 00:07:56.560
 especially in the area

00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:57.759
 of grace,

00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.179
 in pouring out

00:07:59.179 --> 00:08:00.419
 his favour

00:08:00.419 --> 00:08:01.379
 and his kindness

00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:02.560
 and his goodness

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.079
 upon people.

00:08:04.599 --> 00:08:04.939
 So,

00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:06.579
 look at the very end

00:08:06.579 --> 00:08:07.299
 of verse 7.

00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:12.419
 As we think about

00:08:12.419 --> 00:08:14.179
 the grace God has given,

00:08:15.179 --> 00:08:16.120
 end of verse 7,

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.719
 and see that you also

00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.940
 excel in this grace

00:08:21.940 --> 00:08:22.820
 of giving.

00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:24.240
 Just as God has been

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.100
 gracious and generous

00:08:26.100 --> 00:08:27.020
 to us,

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.360
 may we excel

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:30.740
 in the grace

00:08:30.740 --> 00:08:31.960
 of giving.

00:08:33.060 --> 00:08:34.420
 But why this sudden

00:08:34.420 --> 00:08:35.720
 change in the letter

00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.240
 to suddenly talk

00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:38.300
 about finances?

00:08:38.460 --> 00:08:39.240
 It seems a bit

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:40.040
 random.

00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:41.160
 Well,

00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:42.720
 part of Paul's ministry

00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:44.660
 was taking up

00:08:44.660 --> 00:08:46.120
 a financial collection

00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:47.440
 to help the church

00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:48.899
 back in Jerusalem.

00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:50.320
 The church there

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:51.299
 was experiencing

00:08:51.299 --> 00:08:52.560
 a lot of persecution.

00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:53.799
 People had lost

00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:54.500
 their jobs,

00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:55.639
 others were kicked

00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:56.659
 out of their homes,

00:08:57.060 --> 00:08:58.000
 and so when Paul

00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:58.860
 went visiting

00:08:58.860 --> 00:08:59.759
 these churches

00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:00.899
 and wrote to

00:09:00.899 --> 00:09:01.679
 these churches,

00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.200
 he reminded them

00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:04.679
 of the financial needs

00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:05.860
 and encouraged

00:09:05.860 --> 00:09:07.179
 the other churches

00:09:07.179 --> 00:09:08.379
 to give.

00:09:09.419 --> 00:09:09.980
 So,

00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:10.820
 have a look with me

00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:11.500
 back to

00:09:11.500 --> 00:09:13.139
 1 Corinthians

00:09:13.139 --> 00:09:14.860
 chapter 16,

00:09:14.860 --> 00:09:15.860
 just back a couple

00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:16.419
 of pages.

00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:20.919
 So,

00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:21.779
 this is a previous

00:09:21.779 --> 00:09:22.419
 letter

00:09:22.419 --> 00:09:25.120
 written about

00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:26.320
 a year before

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.360
 2 Corinthians.

00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:32.639
 So,

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.500
 chapter 16,

00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:34.220
 verse 1.

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:36.560
 Now,

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:37.680
 about the collection

00:09:37.680 --> 00:09:39.100
 for the Lord's people,

00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:41.200
 do what I told

00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:42.399
 the Galatian churches

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:42.840
 to do.

00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:43.100
 So,

00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:44.720
 it's the same

00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:45.500
 message I've been

00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:46.139
 saying to all

00:09:46.139 --> 00:09:46.600
 the churches

00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:47.540
 I've been visiting.

00:09:48.259 --> 00:09:48.759
 On the first

00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:49.840
 day of every week,

00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:51.320
 each one of you

00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:52.180
 should set aside

00:09:52.180 --> 00:09:53.100
 a sum of money

00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:54.019
 in keeping

00:09:54.019 --> 00:09:55.300
 with your income,

00:09:55.980 --> 00:09:56.820
 saving it up,

00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:58.519
 so that when I come,

00:09:58.980 --> 00:09:59.780
 no collection

00:09:59.780 --> 00:10:00.980
 will have to be made.

00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:01.580
 In other words,

00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:02.460
 it'll all be there

00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:03.540
 ready to collect

00:10:03.540 --> 00:10:04.720
 and to bring.

00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:06.060
 Then,

00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:06.879
 when I arrive,

00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:07.660
 I will give

00:10:07.660 --> 00:10:08.900
 letters of introduction

00:10:08.900 --> 00:10:09.700
 to the men

00:10:09.700 --> 00:10:10.500
 you approve

00:10:10.500 --> 00:10:11.899
 and send them

00:10:11.899 --> 00:10:12.740
 with your gift

00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:14.200
 to Jerusalem,

00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:15.240
 the church

00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:16.080
 that was struggling.

00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:17.379
 If it seems

00:10:17.379 --> 00:10:18.480
 advisable for me

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.340
 to go also,

00:10:19.899 --> 00:10:20.919
 they will accompany

00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:21.919
 me.

00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:23.460
 Let's go back

00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:24.419
 to chapter

00:10:24.419 --> 00:10:26.720
 8 of 2 Corinthians.

00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:29.080
 So,

00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:29.600
 there was the

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.059
 reminder to give

00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:32.480
 to the other

00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:32.919
 churches.

00:10:33.059 --> 00:10:33.200
 Now,

00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:33.960
 the problem

00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:34.840
 we're getting to

00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.100
 in chapter 8

00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:37.200
 is that the

00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:37.620
 church,

00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:38.139
 it seems,

00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:38.960
 in Corinth

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:40.320
 have forgotten

00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:41.840
 their promise

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.519
 to give.

00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:45.600
 But instead

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:46.480
 of berating

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:47.399
 them and

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:47.960
 telling them

00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:49.360
 off and

00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:49.940
 shoving the

00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:50.759
 collection bag

00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:51.800
 in their face,

00:10:53.420 --> 00:10:54.420
 Paul reminds

00:10:54.420 --> 00:10:55.960
 them of

00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:56.600
 God's

00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:57.379
 generous

00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:58.440
 grace.

00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:00.320
 You see,

00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:01.300
 experiencing

00:11:01.299 --> 00:11:02.539
 God's grace

00:11:02.539 --> 00:11:04.359
 will transform

00:11:04.359 --> 00:11:05.339
 us into

00:11:05.339 --> 00:11:06.139
 generous

00:11:06.139 --> 00:11:06.740
 givers.

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:07.620
 In fact,

00:11:07.719 --> 00:11:08.599
 it's a sign,

00:11:08.740 --> 00:11:09.699
 it's evidence

00:11:09.699 --> 00:11:11.279
 that we are

00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:12.240
 Christians and

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.759
 that we are

00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.079
 following the

00:11:14.079 --> 00:11:14.779
 Lord Jesus.

00:11:16.359 --> 00:11:16.839
 So,

00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:17.259
 we're going to

00:11:17.259 --> 00:11:18.439
 look at

00:11:18.439 --> 00:11:19.179
 three things

00:11:19.179 --> 00:11:19.759
 through this

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:20.279
 text.

00:11:20.979 --> 00:11:21.539
 First,

00:11:22.319 --> 00:11:23.039
 that grace

00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:24.099
 leads to

00:11:24.099 --> 00:11:24.719
 rich

00:11:24.719 --> 00:11:25.659
 generosity,

00:11:27.179 --> 00:11:27.559
 loving

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:28.439
 sincerity,

00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:30.360
 and genuine

00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:31.920
 equality.

00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:33.700
 So,

00:11:33.780 --> 00:11:34.200
 let's see

00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:35.140
 the difference

00:11:35.140 --> 00:11:36.820
 that grace

00:11:36.820 --> 00:11:37.780
 makes.

00:11:38.540 --> 00:11:39.100
 First,

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:39.940
 it leads to

00:11:39.940 --> 00:11:40.420
 rich

00:11:40.420 --> 00:11:41.220
 generosity.

00:11:41.520 --> 00:11:41.860
 Let's go

00:11:41.860 --> 00:11:42.280
 back to

00:11:42.280 --> 00:11:42.900
 verse 1,

00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:43.740
 chapter 8.

00:11:44.260 --> 00:11:44.720
 And now,

00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:45.400
 brothers and

00:11:45.400 --> 00:11:45.780
 sisters,

00:11:46.340 --> 00:11:47.060
 we want you

00:11:47.060 --> 00:11:47.840
 to know

00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:48.800
 about the

00:11:48.800 --> 00:11:50.340
 grace that

00:11:50.340 --> 00:11:50.820
 God has

00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:51.480
 given the

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:52.300
 Macedonian

00:11:52.300 --> 00:11:52.860
 churches.

00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:54.000
 But what's

00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:54.660
 so special

00:11:54.660 --> 00:11:55.380
 about these

00:11:55.380 --> 00:11:56.140
 churches in

00:11:56.140 --> 00:11:56.780
 Macedonia?

00:11:57.160 --> 00:11:57.380
 Well,

00:11:57.420 --> 00:11:57.840
 they were an

00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:58.700
 example of

00:11:58.700 --> 00:11:59.440
 a church

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.620
 that had

00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:00.980
 been

00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:01.940
 transformed

00:12:01.940 --> 00:12:02.980
 by grace.

00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:03.700
 Look at

00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:04.320
 verse 2.

00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:05.720
 In the

00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:06.440
 midst of a

00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:07.560
 very severe

00:12:07.560 --> 00:12:08.259
 trial,

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:09.700
 their

00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:10.639
 overflowing

00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:11.240
 joy,

00:12:12.460 --> 00:12:12.980
 and their

00:12:12.980 --> 00:12:13.899
 extreme

00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:14.740
 wealth

00:12:14.740 --> 00:12:16.620
 welled up

00:12:16.620 --> 00:12:17.120
 in rich

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:17.860
 generosity.

00:12:19.700 --> 00:12:20.379
 Is that

00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:20.639
 what your

00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:21.340
 Bible says?

00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:22.860
 No,

00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:23.960
 extreme

00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:25.160
 poverty.

00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:27.000
 It's

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:27.759
 extraordinary

00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:28.299
 isn't

00:12:28.299 --> 00:12:28.500
 it?

00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:29.419
 It literally

00:12:29.419 --> 00:12:30.519
 doesn't

00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:31.620
 add up.

00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:32.779
 Do the

00:12:32.779 --> 00:12:33.240
 math.

00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:34.659
 Severe

00:12:34.659 --> 00:12:35.360
 trial

00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.019
 plus

00:12:37.019 --> 00:12:38.460
 extreme

00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:39.319
 poverty

00:12:39.319 --> 00:12:40.500
 equals

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:41.840
 what?

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.539
 It's

00:12:44.539 --> 00:12:45.100
 amazing.

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:46.360
 Rich

00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:47.539
 generosity.

00:12:48.939 --> 00:12:49.700
 We don't

00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:50.100
 know what

00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:50.659
 the trial

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:51.240
 was.

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:52.539
 Perhaps it

00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:53.080
 was also

00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:53.779
 persecution

00:12:53.779 --> 00:12:54.399
 like in

00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:54.840
 Jerusalem.

00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:54.960
 them.

00:12:55.280 --> 00:12:55.480
 But

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:55.980
 whatever

00:12:55.980 --> 00:12:56.440
 they were

00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:56.780
 going

00:12:56.780 --> 00:12:57.139
 through,

00:12:57.139 --> 00:12:58.259
 the impact

00:12:58.259 --> 00:12:58.519
 was

00:12:58.519 --> 00:12:59.200
 devastating.

00:12:59.740 --> 00:13:00.019
 They were

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:00.920
 now living

00:13:00.920 --> 00:13:02.000
 in poverty.

00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:04.200
 But here's

00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:04.800
 the amazing

00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:05.720
 thing, and

00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:06.420
 it's wonderfully

00:13:06.420 --> 00:13:07.340
 beautiful to

00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:07.840
 think about.

00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:08.740
 They're not

00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:09.440
 anxious.

00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:11.200
 They're not

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:11.840
 sad.

00:13:13.580 --> 00:13:14.200
 Verse 2,

00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:17.100
 overflowing

00:13:17.100 --> 00:13:18.960
 with joy.

00:13:20.740 --> 00:13:21.160
 Have you

00:13:21.160 --> 00:13:21.780
 ever been in

00:13:21.780 --> 00:13:22.360
 financial

00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:23.120
 difficulty?

00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:26.060
 I wonder

00:13:26.060 --> 00:13:26.400
 if you

00:13:26.400 --> 00:13:27.060
 would describe

00:13:27.060 --> 00:13:27.879
 that moment

00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:28.420
 as

00:13:28.420 --> 00:13:30.140
 overflowing

00:13:30.140 --> 00:13:31.040
 joy.

00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:32.320
 It's a

00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:32.740
 challenge,

00:13:32.860 --> 00:13:33.320
 isn't it?

00:13:34.680 --> 00:13:35.360
 They had

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:35.920
 come to

00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:36.740
 experience

00:13:36.740 --> 00:13:37.320
 God's

00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:37.879
 saving

00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:38.540
 and

00:13:38.540 --> 00:13:39.160
 sustaining

00:13:39.160 --> 00:13:39.780
 grace,

00:13:39.779 --> 00:13:40.659
 and it

00:13:40.659 --> 00:13:40.860
 had

00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:41.339
 utterly

00:13:41.339 --> 00:13:42.259
 changed

00:13:42.259 --> 00:13:42.519
 and

00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:43.100
 transformed

00:13:43.100 --> 00:13:43.360
 their

00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:43.720
 lives.

00:13:44.059 --> 00:13:44.419
 Look at

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:44.679
 the way

00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:44.959
 it had

00:13:44.959 --> 00:13:45.319
 changed

00:13:45.319 --> 00:13:45.500
 them.

00:13:45.579 --> 00:13:45.899
 First,

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:46.679
 their

00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:47.360
 sacrificial

00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:47.779
 giving.

00:13:49.100 --> 00:13:49.899
 Verse 3,

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:50.319
 For I

00:13:50.319 --> 00:13:51.100
 testify that

00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:51.620
 they gave

00:13:51.620 --> 00:13:52.199
 as much

00:13:52.199 --> 00:13:52.539
 as they

00:13:52.539 --> 00:13:53.159
 were able

00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:54.439
 and even

00:13:54.439 --> 00:13:55.120
 beyond

00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:55.959
 their

00:13:55.959 --> 00:13:56.500
 ability.

00:13:57.399 --> 00:13:57.860
 They not

00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:58.500
 only gave,

00:13:58.639 --> 00:13:59.039
 they gave

00:13:59.039 --> 00:13:59.379
 in a way

00:13:59.379 --> 00:13:59.740
 that was

00:13:59.740 --> 00:14:00.360
 costly.

00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:01.399
 Their

00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:02.120
 giving was

00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:02.659
 putting their

00:14:02.659 --> 00:14:03.439
 own lives

00:14:03.439 --> 00:14:03.860
 at risk.

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:04.240
 It was

00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.299
 sacrificial.

00:14:06.980 --> 00:14:07.779
 But more

00:14:07.779 --> 00:14:08.399
 than that,

00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.699
 look at

00:14:09.699 --> 00:14:09.899
 their

00:14:09.899 --> 00:14:10.720
 joyful

00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:11.600
 desire.

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:13.019
 No

00:14:13.019 --> 00:14:13.699
 moaning

00:14:13.699 --> 00:14:14.600
 minis here

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:14.980
 when it

00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:15.399
 came to

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:15.720
 giving

00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:16.019
 their

00:14:16.019 --> 00:14:16.340
 money.

00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:17.059
 Look at

00:14:17.059 --> 00:14:17.399
 the end

00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:17.779
 of verse

00:14:17.779 --> 00:14:18.179
 3.

00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:19.500
 Entirely

00:14:19.500 --> 00:14:19.939
 on their

00:14:19.939 --> 00:14:20.379
 own,

00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:21.139
 they

00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:21.899
 urgently

00:14:21.899 --> 00:14:22.659
 pleaded

00:14:22.659 --> 00:14:23.779
 with us

00:14:23.779 --> 00:14:24.179
 for the

00:14:24.179 --> 00:14:24.740
 privilege

00:14:24.740 --> 00:14:25.519
 of sharing

00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:25.919
 in the

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:26.299
 service

00:14:26.299 --> 00:14:26.639
 of the

00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:26.939
 Lord's

00:14:26.939 --> 00:14:27.299
 people.

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:27.959
 Now,

00:14:28.019 --> 00:14:28.279
 you could

00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:28.759
 imagine

00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:29.139
 Paul

00:14:29.139 --> 00:14:29.600
 saying to

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:29.720
 them,

00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:30.379
 listen,

00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:30.720
 guys,

00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:31.139
 you don't

00:14:31.139 --> 00:14:31.539
 have to

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:31.740
 give

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:32.120
 anything

00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:32.639
 because,

00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:33.199
 well,

00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:33.399
 look,

00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:33.679
 you're

00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:33.939
 going

00:14:33.939 --> 00:14:34.199
 through

00:14:34.199 --> 00:14:34.519
 your

00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:34.840
 hard

00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:35.159
 time

00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:35.439
 at the

00:14:35.439 --> 00:14:35.659
 minute.

00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:36.299
 Just

00:14:36.299 --> 00:14:36.659
 keep

00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:36.960
 it.

00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:38.040
 no,

00:14:38.259 --> 00:14:38.580
 Paul,

00:14:39.300 --> 00:14:40.360
 we want

00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:41.060
 to give.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:43.220
 Please let

00:14:43.220 --> 00:14:43.940
 us be part

00:14:43.940 --> 00:14:44.300
 of this

00:14:44.300 --> 00:14:44.639
 giving.

00:14:45.160 --> 00:14:45.580
 God has

00:14:45.580 --> 00:14:46.080
 been so

00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:46.720
 good and

00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:47.280
 kind to

00:14:47.280 --> 00:14:47.440
 us.

00:14:47.800 --> 00:14:48.060
 Please

00:14:48.060 --> 00:14:49.040
 don't say

00:14:49.040 --> 00:14:49.500
 no.

00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:53.000
 Extraordinary,

00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:53.720
 isn't it?

00:14:54.420 --> 00:14:55.420
 This joyful

00:14:55.420 --> 00:14:57.280
 desire in

00:14:57.280 --> 00:14:58.080
 their extreme

00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:58.740
 poverty,

00:15:00.040 --> 00:15:00.240
 their

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.139
 joyfulness

00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:02.100
 in wanting

00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:02.780
 to give.

00:15:02.779 --> 00:15:05.259
 but there's

00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:05.639
 more.

00:15:06.539 --> 00:15:07.339
 Verse 5,

00:15:07.419 --> 00:15:07.699
 look at

00:15:07.699 --> 00:15:07.860
 their

00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:08.419
 faithful

00:15:08.419 --> 00:15:09.279
 response.

00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:10.500
 They

00:15:10.500 --> 00:15:11.120
 exceeded

00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:11.419
 our

00:15:11.419 --> 00:15:12.139
 expectations.

00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:12.459
 They

00:15:12.459 --> 00:15:12.799
 gave

00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:12.939
 of

00:15:12.939 --> 00:15:13.439
 themselves

00:15:13.439 --> 00:15:13.860
 first

00:15:13.860 --> 00:15:14.039
 of

00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:14.199
 all

00:15:14.199 --> 00:15:14.360
 to

00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:14.519
 the

00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:14.799
 Lord

00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:15.360
 and

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:15.600
 then

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:15.799
 by

00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:15.980
 the

00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:16.100
 will

00:15:16.100 --> 00:15:16.240

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:16.459
 God

00:15:16.459 --> 00:15:16.799
 also

00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:17.100
 to

00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:17.539
 us.

00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:18.860
 Not

00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:19.100
 only

00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:19.279
 were

00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:19.439
 they

00:15:19.439 --> 00:15:19.699
 willing

00:15:19.699 --> 00:15:19.939
 to

00:15:19.939 --> 00:15:20.159
 give

00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:20.399
 what

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:20.980

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:21.179
 they

00:15:21.179 --> 00:15:21.439
 had

00:15:21.439 --> 00:15:21.959
 left,

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.120
 they

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:23.500
 gave

00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:23.659
 of

00:15:23.659 --> 00:15:23.839
 their

00:15:23.839 --> 00:15:24.179
 very

00:15:24.179 --> 00:15:25.019
 lives.

00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:26.539
 Because

00:15:26.539 --> 00:15:26.839
 the

00:15:26.839 --> 00:15:27.240

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:27.860
 right

00:15:27.860 --> 00:15:28.079
 and

00:15:28.079 --> 00:15:28.439

 God's

00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:30.199
 grace

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:30.740
 is

00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:31.140

00:15:31.140 --> 00:15:31.360

00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:32.820
 God

00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:34.060
 and

00:15:34.060 --> 00:15:34.259
 then

00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:36.220
 others.

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:39.160
 You

00:15:39.160 --> 00:15:39.440
 see,

00:15:40.280 --> 00:15:41.240
 financially

00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:42.879
 is not

00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:43.240
 a way

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:43.480
 to

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:44.040
 earn

00:15:46.580 --> 00:15:47.160

00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:48.240
 It's

00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:48.520
 the

00:15:48.520 --> 00:15:49.340
 evidence

00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:50.040
 that

00:15:50.040 --> 00:15:50.259
 you

00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:50.800

00:15:50.800 --> 00:15:51.460

00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:52.320
 received

00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:52.740

00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:53.340
 grace.

00:15:55.379 --> 00:15:55.980
 Paul

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:56.340
 Tripp,

00:15:56.420 --> 00:15:56.780
 some of

00:15:56.780 --> 00:15:57.100

00:15:57.100 --> 00:15:57.360

00:15:57.460 --> 00:15:57.840
 he's an

00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:58.160
 author,

00:15:58.900 --> 00:15:59.460
 put it

00:15:59.460 --> 00:15:59.700
 like

00:15:59.700 --> 00:16:00.120
 this,

00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:01.300
 if

00:16:01.300 --> 00:16:01.440
 you

00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:01.800
 gave

00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:06.940
 job

00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:07.180
 that

00:16:07.180 --> 00:16:07.379
 you

00:16:07.379 --> 00:16:07.700
 ever

00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:08.160
 had,

00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:09.240
 you

00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:09.520
 could

00:16:09.520 --> 00:16:10.000
 not

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.379
 give

00:16:10.379 --> 00:16:10.820
 enough

00:16:10.820 --> 00:16:11.160
 to

00:16:11.160 --> 00:16:12.140
 deserve

00:16:12.140 --> 00:16:13.660
 God's

00:16:13.660 --> 00:16:14.200
 grace.

00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:16.800
 No,

00:16:17.100 --> 00:16:17.600
 giving

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:18.460
 is the

00:16:18.460 --> 00:16:19.180
 sign

00:16:19.180 --> 00:16:20.060
 that we

00:16:20.060 --> 00:16:20.400
 have

00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:21.420
 received

00:16:21.420 --> 00:16:22.100
 and

00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:23.120
 experienced

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:23.500
 the

00:16:23.500 --> 00:16:23.900
 life

00:16:23.900 --> 00:16:24.860
 transforming

00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:26.200
 wallet

00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:27.360
 opening

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:28.600
 grace

00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.280
 of God.

00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:29.319
 God.

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:30.819
 This

00:16:30.819 --> 00:16:31.240
 was the

00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:31.620
 message

00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:32.039
 to the

00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:32.360
 church

00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:32.620
 in

00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:32.919
 Corinth

00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:33.639
 and

00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:33.879
 it's

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:34.059
 the

00:16:34.059 --> 00:16:34.480
 message

00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:34.919
 to the

00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:35.360
 church

00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:36.159
 in

00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:37.079
 Carigoline.

00:16:39.579 --> 00:16:40.339
 Now it

00:16:40.339 --> 00:16:40.759
 seems

00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:41.039
 the

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:41.339
 church

00:16:41.339 --> 00:16:41.600
 in

00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:41.980
 Corinth

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:43.199
 had

00:16:43.199 --> 00:16:43.579
 lost

00:16:43.579 --> 00:16:44.059
 sight

00:16:44.059 --> 00:16:44.339
 of

00:16:44.339 --> 00:16:44.579
 all

00:16:44.579 --> 00:16:45.259
 God's

00:16:45.259 --> 00:16:45.939
 goodness

00:16:45.939 --> 00:16:46.319
 and

00:16:46.319 --> 00:16:46.659
 grace

00:16:46.659 --> 00:16:46.919
 to

00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:47.139
 them.

00:16:47.439 --> 00:16:47.839
 That's

00:16:47.839 --> 00:16:48.019
 why

00:16:48.019 --> 00:16:48.339
 he's

00:16:48.339 --> 00:16:48.899
 reminding

00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:49.199
 them

00:16:49.199 --> 00:16:49.679
 of how

00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:50.019
 God

00:16:50.019 --> 00:16:50.199
 had

00:16:50.199 --> 00:16:50.500
 worked

00:16:50.500 --> 00:16:50.659
 in

00:16:50.659 --> 00:16:50.799
 the

00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:51.500
 Macedonian

00:16:51.500 --> 00:16:51.980
 churches

00:16:51.980 --> 00:16:52.179
 and

00:16:52.179 --> 00:16:52.439
 saying

00:16:52.439 --> 00:16:52.959
 he

00:16:52.959 --> 00:16:53.199
 can

00:16:53.199 --> 00:16:53.379
 do

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:53.579
 the

00:16:53.579 --> 00:16:53.819
 same

00:16:53.819 --> 00:16:54.019
 in

00:16:54.019 --> 00:16:54.379
 you.

00:16:54.379 --> 00:16:57.860
 So we

00:16:57.860 --> 00:16:58.220
 urged

00:16:58.220 --> 00:16:59.000
 Titus

00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.399
 just as

00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:00.700
 he had

00:17:00.700 --> 00:17:01.080
 made

00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:01.299
 an

00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:03.379

00:17:03.379 --> 00:17:03.659

00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:06.480
 Titus

00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:07.359

00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:07.660

00:17:07.660 --> 00:17:08.079
 earlier

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:08.440
 made

00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:08.559

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:11.099
 act

00:17:11.099 --> 00:17:11.259
 of

00:17:11.779 --> 00:17:11.960
 your

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:12.400

00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:12.960
 He

00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:13.140
 had

00:17:13.140 --> 00:17:13.559
 sent

00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:14.160
 Titus

00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:14.880

 You

 you

00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:00.819
 doing

00:21:00.819 --> 00:21:01.179
 anything

00:21:01.179 --> 00:21:01.559
 about

00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:01.919
 it

00:21:01.919 --> 00:21:03.919
 you

00:21:03.919 --> 00:21:04.119
 could

00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:04.439
 heap

00:21:04.439 --> 00:21:04.740
 on

00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:05.220
 guilt

00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:05.519
 and

00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:06.000
 shame

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.579
 well

00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:09.419
 manipulation

00:21:09.419 --> 00:21:11.779
 what

00:21:11.779 --> 00:21:12.159
 happens

00:21:12.159 --> 00:21:12.579
 when we

00:21:12.579 --> 00:21:12.939
 watch

00:21:12.939 --> 00:21:13.319
 enough

00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:14.139
 pictures

00:21:14.139 --> 00:21:14.659
 and see

00:21:14.659 --> 00:21:15.259
 the news

00:21:15.259 --> 00:21:15.839
 of children

00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:16.439
 starving

00:21:16.439 --> 00:21:17.539
 and wars

00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:17.899
 that are

00:21:17.899 --> 00:21:18.740
 going on

00:21:18.740 --> 00:21:19.960
 but we

00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:20.299
 become

00:21:20.299 --> 00:21:21.460
 desensitized

00:21:21.460 --> 00:21:21.819
 to it

00:21:21.819 --> 00:21:22.079
 don't

00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:22.319
 we

00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:24.000
 it

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:24.319
 doesn't

00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:24.579
 really

00:21:24.579 --> 00:21:25.379
 last

00:21:25.379 --> 00:21:27.159
 and the

00:21:27.159 --> 00:21:27.599
 guilt

00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:29.379
 where

00:21:29.379 --> 00:21:29.519
 you

00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:29.659
 can

00:21:29.659 --> 00:21:29.879
 put

00:21:29.879 --> 00:21:30.099
 on

00:21:30.099 --> 00:21:30.480
 guilt

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:30.839
 upon

00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:31.240
 guilt

00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:31.480
 and

00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:31.819
 shame

00:21:31.819 --> 00:21:32.119
 upon

00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:32.559
 shame

00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:33.480
 but

00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:33.859
 eventually

00:21:33.859 --> 00:21:34.139
 we

00:21:34.139 --> 00:21:34.359
 just

00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:34.699
 become

00:21:34.699 --> 00:21:35.199
 hardened

00:21:35.199 --> 00:21:35.659
 to all

00:21:35.659 --> 00:21:35.959
 of that

00:21:35.959 --> 00:21:36.240
 and it

00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:36.500
 doesn't

00:21:36.500 --> 00:21:36.759
 take

00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:37.119
 effect

00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:37.619
 at all

00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:39.779
 no

00:21:39.779 --> 00:21:40.459
 manipulation

00:21:40.459 --> 00:21:41.179
 and guilt

00:21:41.179 --> 00:21:42.139
 isn't going

00:21:42.139 --> 00:21:42.719
 to change

00:21:42.719 --> 00:21:43.159
 a thing

00:21:43.159 --> 00:21:43.879
 not in

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.240
 the only

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:48.719
 thing

00:21:48.719 --> 00:21:49.119
 that is

00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:49.359
 going

00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:49.579
 to

 we

00:27:59.080 --> 00:27:59.259
 can

00:28:04.300 --> 00:28:04.660
 be

00:28:04.660 --> 00:28:05.480

 command

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:12.220
 you're

00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:12.360
 not

00:28:12.360 --> 00:28:12.840
 accountable

 to

 us

00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:18.480

 you

00:28:21.019 --> 00:28:21.180

 there's

00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:21.620
 only

00:28:21.620 --> 00:28:21.960

00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:23.100
 Christianity

00:28:23.099 --> 00:28:25.079
 and that

00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:25.319
 is

00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:26.319
 sincere

00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:32.339
 love

00:28:38.459 --> 00:28:39.439
 of

00:28:40.179 --> 00:28:40.659
 those

 in

00:28:41.219 --> 00:28:41.679
 need

00:28:41.679 --> 00:28:43.619
 so

00:28:43.619 --> 00:28:44.059
 grace

00:28:44.059 --> 00:28:44.519
 leads

00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:48.379
 and

00:28:48.379 --> 00:28:48.559
 then

00:28:50.220 --> 00:28:50.920
 genuine

00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:52.720
 equality

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:54.500
 it's

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:54.859
 also

00:28:54.859 --> 00:28:55.339
 very

00:28:55.339 --> 00:28:56.059
 practical

00:28:56.059 --> 00:28:56.779
 for us

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:57.059
 isn't

00:28:57.059 --> 00:28:57.359
 it

00:28:57.359 --> 00:28:58.700
 verse

00:28:58.700 --> 00:28:59.319
 13

00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:00.980
 our

00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:01.579
 desire

00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:02.180
 is not

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:02.460
 that

00:29:02.460 --> 00:29:03.159
 others

00:29:03.159 --> 00:29:03.839
 might

00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:04.079
 be

00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:04.779
 relieved

00:29:04.779 --> 00:29:05.859
 while

00:29:05.859 --> 00:29:06.079
 we

00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:06.259
 are

00:29:06.259 --> 00:29:06.599
 hard

00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:07.180
 pressed

00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:08.779
 but

00:29:08.779 --> 00:29:08.980
 that

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.180
 there

00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:09.480
 might

00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:09.859
 be

00:29:09.859 --> 00:29:10.720
 equality

00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:12.220
 at

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:12.379
 the

00:29:12.379 --> 00:29:12.720
 present

00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:13.099
 time

00:29:13.099 --> 00:29:13.379
 your

00:29:13.379 --> 00:29:14.019
 plenty

00:29:14.019 --> 00:29:14.339
 will

00:29:14.339 --> 00:29:14.859
 supply

00:29:14.859 --> 00:29:15.200
 what

00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:15.460
 they

00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:15.940
 need

00:29:15.940 --> 00:29:16.500
 so

00:29:16.500 --> 00:29:16.740
 that

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.100
 in

00:29:17.100 --> 00:29:17.480
 turn

00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:17.860
 their

00:29:17.860 --> 00:29:18.360
 plenty

00:29:18.360 --> 00:29:18.680
 will

00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:19.120
 supply

00:29:19.120 --> 00:29:19.500
 what

00:29:19.500 --> 00:29:19.820
 you

00:29:19.820 --> 00:29:20.240
 need

00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:21.039
 the

00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:21.600
 goal

00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:22.279
 is

00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:23.640
 equality

00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:25.620
 you

00:29:25.620 --> 00:29:25.759
 see

00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:25.980
 there's

00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:26.160
 going to

00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:26.299
 be

00:29:26.299 --> 00:29:26.799
 seasons

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:27.140
 in

00:29:27.140 --> 00:29:27.500
 life

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:27.720
 when

00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:27.860
 we

00:29:27.860 --> 00:29:28.059
 have

00:29:28.059 --> 00:29:28.400
 very

00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:28.880
 little

00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:30.559
 but

00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:30.740
 then

00:29:30.740 --> 00:29:30.960
 there'll

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:31.120
 be

00:29:31.120 --> 00:29:31.559
 seasons

00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:31.820
 in

00:29:31.820 --> 00:29:31.960
 our

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:32.240
 life

00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:32.460
 when

00:29:32.460 --> 00:29:32.660
 we

00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:33.100
 have

00:29:33.100 --> 00:29:34.120
 much

00:29:34.120 --> 00:29:35.140
 maybe

00:29:35.140 --> 00:29:35.500
 that's

00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:35.700
 been

00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:36.000
 your

00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:36.600
 experience

00:29:36.600 --> 00:29:37.120
 in

00:29:37.120 --> 00:29:37.799
 your

00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:38.240
 life

00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:38.559
 the

00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:38.920
 times

00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:39.160
 when

00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:39.440
 you've

00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:39.880
 had

00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:40.519
 and

00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:40.660
 the

00:29:40.660 --> 00:29:41.000
 times

00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:41.200
 when

00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:41.360
 you

00:29:41.360 --> 00:29:41.799
 haven't

00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:42.120
 had

00:29:42.120 --> 00:29:43.779
 I

00:29:43.779 --> 00:29:44.059
 think

00:29:44.059 --> 00:29:44.400
 of my

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:44.620
 own

00:29:44.620 --> 00:29:45.120
 parents

00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:45.539
 when we

00:29:45.539 --> 00:29:45.719
 were

00:29:45.719 --> 00:29:46.000
 growing

00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:46.299
 up

00:29:46.299 --> 00:29:47.039
 they

00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:47.519
 served

00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:47.759
 in

00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.259
 pastoral

00:29:48.259 --> 00:29:48.819
 ministry

00:29:48.819 --> 00:29:49.319
 without

00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:50.759
 a

00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:51.299
 guaranteed

00:29:51.299 --> 00:29:52.099
 regular

00:29:52.099 --> 00:29:53.079
 income

00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:54.779
 they would

00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:55.279
 often get

00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:56.000
 towards the

00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:56.459
 end of the

00:29:56.459 --> 00:29:56.799
 month

00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:57.719
 and there

00:29:57.719 --> 00:29:58.059
 would be

00:29:58.059 --> 00:29:58.559
 nothing

00:29:58.559 --> 00:29:59.159
 and I

00:29:59.159 --> 00:29:59.359
 mean

00:29:59.359 --> 00:29:59.859
 literally

00:29:59.859 --> 00:30:01.000
 nothing left

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:01.319
 in the

00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:02.119
 bank account

00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:03.619
 we

00:30:03.619 --> 00:30:03.939
 laugh

00:30:03.939 --> 00:30:03.939


00:30:03.939 --> 00:30:04.419
 about it

00:30:04.419 --> 00:30:04.679
 now

00:30:04.679 --> 00:30:05.099
 but my

00:30:05.099 --> 00:30:05.619
 mum used

00:30:05.619 --> 00:30:06.139
 to water

00:30:06.139 --> 00:30:06.459
 down

00:30:06.459 --> 00:30:06.659
 the

00:30:06.659 --> 00:30:07.059
 milk

00:30:07.059 --> 00:30:08.539
 it was

00:30:08.539 --> 00:30:08.959
 lovely

00:30:08.959 --> 00:30:10.519
 not

00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:12.000
 but that's

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:12.299
 what they

00:30:12.299 --> 00:30:12.679
 did

00:30:12.679 --> 00:30:13.319
 because they

00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:13.699
 didn't

00:30:13.699 --> 00:30:14.139
 have

00:30:14.139 --> 00:30:15.039
 but you

00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:15.479
 know what

00:30:15.479 --> 00:30:15.879
 people

00:30:15.879 --> 00:30:16.279
 were

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:17.500
 kind

00:30:17.500 --> 00:30:18.959
 checks

00:30:18.959 --> 00:30:19.239
 would

00:30:19.239 --> 00:30:19.759
 arrive

00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:20.599
 anonymously

00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:21.000
 in the

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:21.579
 post

00:30:21.579 --> 00:30:23.399
 they

00:30:23.399 --> 00:30:24.019
 out of

00:30:24.019 --> 00:30:24.379
 their

00:30:24.379 --> 00:30:25.059
 plenty

00:30:25.059 --> 00:30:26.419
 gave

00:30:26.419 --> 00:30:27.099
 to those

00:30:27.099 --> 00:30:27.679
 like my

00:30:27.679 --> 00:30:28.339
 parents

00:30:28.339 --> 00:30:29.339
 who were

00:30:29.339 --> 00:30:30.039
 in need

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:32.339
 but things

00:30:32.339 --> 00:30:33.039
 changed for

00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:33.839
 my parents

00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:35.119
 support

00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:35.879
 became more

00:30:35.879 --> 00:30:36.299
 regular

00:30:36.299 --> 00:30:37.180
 and they

00:30:37.180 --> 00:30:37.639
 in turn

00:30:37.639 --> 00:30:38.119
 were able

00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:38.759
 to support

00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:39.200
 others

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:40.139
 they were

00:30:40.139 --> 00:30:40.740
 and they

00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:41.480
 are

00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:43.559
 generous

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:44.779
 givers

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:47.299
 you see

00:30:47.299 --> 00:30:47.700
 sometimes

00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:48.579
 we are

00:30:48.579 --> 00:30:50.180
 receivers

00:30:50.180 --> 00:30:51.940
 other

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:52.639
 times

00:30:52.639 --> 00:30:54.000
 we are

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:54.779
 givers

00:30:54.779 --> 00:30:56.519
 but never

00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:56.980
 is there

00:30:56.980 --> 00:30:57.460
 to be a

00:30:57.460 --> 00:30:57.799
 time

00:30:57.799 --> 00:30:58.299
 when there

00:30:58.299 --> 00:30:58.599
 is

00:30:58.599 --> 00:30:59.639
 inequality

00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:01.480
 no one

00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:01.780
 should

00:31:01.780 --> 00:31:02.200
 ever

00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:02.620
 be

00:31:02.620 --> 00:31:03.980
 in need

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:05.240
 and we're

00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:05.660
 given an

00:31:05.660 --> 00:31:06.120
 example

00:31:06.120 --> 00:31:06.680
 aren't we

00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:07.040
 as we

00:31:07.040 --> 00:31:08.180
 finish here

00:31:08.180 --> 00:31:09.040
 verse 15

00:31:09.040 --> 00:31:11.780
 as it is

00:31:11.780 --> 00:31:12.100
 written

00:31:12.100 --> 00:31:12.920
 so this is

00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:13.900
 taking us

00:31:13.900 --> 00:31:14.480
 back to

00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:15.100
 Exodus

00:31:15.100 --> 00:31:18.060
 the one

00:31:18.060 --> 00:31:18.780
 who gathered

00:31:18.780 --> 00:31:19.460
 much

00:31:19.460 --> 00:31:20.860
 did not

00:31:20.860 --> 00:31:21.380
 have too

00:31:21.380 --> 00:31:21.880
 much

00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:23.420
 and the one

00:31:23.420 --> 00:31:23.960
 who gathered

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:24.480
 little

00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:25.860
 did not

00:31:25.860 --> 00:31:26.460
 have too

00:31:26.460 --> 00:31:26.880
 little

00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:28.620
 remember

00:31:28.620 --> 00:31:28.640
 remember

00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:29.200
 the account

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:29.760
 in Exodus

00:31:29.760 --> 00:31:30.680
 where God

00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:32.080
 graciously

00:31:32.080 --> 00:31:33.620
 intervened

00:31:33.620 --> 00:31:34.360
 and rescued

00:31:34.360 --> 00:31:35.060
 his people

00:31:35.060 --> 00:31:35.800
 out of

00:31:35.800 --> 00:31:36.320
 Egypt

00:31:36.320 --> 00:31:37.580
 out of

00:31:37.580 --> 00:31:38.340
 their slavery

00:31:38.340 --> 00:31:39.300
 and bondage

00:31:39.300 --> 00:31:40.320
 and took

00:31:40.320 --> 00:31:40.700
 them

00:31:40.700 --> 00:31:42.020
 through the

00:31:42.020 --> 00:31:42.440
 desert

00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:44.300
 but there

00:31:44.300 --> 00:31:44.580
 was a

00:31:44.580 --> 00:31:44.900
 problem

00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:45.260
 when they

00:31:45.260 --> 00:31:45.720
 were walking

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:46.200
 through the

00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:46.520
 desert

00:31:46.520 --> 00:31:47.400
 there was

00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:47.980
 no done

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.500
 stores

00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:49.040
 or super

00:31:49.040 --> 00:31:49.460
 value

00:31:49.460 --> 00:31:49.880
 there

00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:51.400
 nowhere

00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:51.940
 to buy

00:31:51.940 --> 00:31:52.660
 food

00:31:52.660 --> 00:31:54.220
 so God

00:31:54.220 --> 00:31:54.980
 provided

00:31:54.980 --> 00:31:56.180
 manna

00:31:56.180 --> 00:31:57.519
 that bread

00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:58.519
 like substance

00:31:58.519 --> 00:31:59.420
 that appeared

00:31:59.420 --> 00:32:00.660
 every morning

00:32:00.660 --> 00:32:01.759
 every day

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:02.420
 around the

00:32:02.420 --> 00:32:02.700
 camp

00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:03.140
 they would

00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:03.779
 wake up

00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:04.340
 and there

00:32:04.340 --> 00:32:04.740
 would all

00:32:04.740 --> 00:32:05.279
 be these

00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:06.019
 flakes of

00:32:06.019 --> 00:32:06.600
 bread on

00:32:06.600 --> 00:32:07.100
 the ground

00:32:07.100 --> 00:32:09.560
 and God's

00:32:09.560 --> 00:32:10.180
 command to

00:32:10.180 --> 00:32:10.660
 the people

00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:11.100
 was very

00:32:11.100 --> 00:32:11.620
 simple

00:32:11.620 --> 00:32:12.600
 gather

00:32:12.600 --> 00:32:13.880
 what you

00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:14.680
 need for

00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:15.200
 the day

00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:15.680
 and no

00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:15.940
 more

00:32:15.940 --> 00:32:16.800
 don't gather

00:32:16.800 --> 00:32:17.560
 for tomorrow

00:32:17.560 --> 00:32:19.279
 don't gather

00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:19.680
 for the

00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:20.140
 weekend

00:32:20.140 --> 00:32:21.340
 just take

00:32:21.340 --> 00:32:21.720
 what you

00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:22.259
 need for

00:32:22.259 --> 00:32:23.140
 that day

00:32:23.140 --> 00:32:25.160
 so

00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:26.580
 verse 15

00:32:26.580 --> 00:32:28.080
 the one

00:32:28.080 --> 00:32:28.660
 who gathered

00:32:28.660 --> 00:32:29.240
 much

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:30.160
 did not

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:30.660
 have too

00:32:30.660 --> 00:32:31.140
 much

00:32:31.140 --> 00:32:32.080
 and the

00:32:32.080 --> 00:32:32.420
 one who

00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:32.759
 gathered

00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:33.240
 little

00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:34.180
 did not

00:32:34.180 --> 00:32:34.880
 have too

00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:35.740
 little

00:32:35.740 --> 00:32:38.080
 you see

00:32:38.080 --> 00:32:38.480
 God

00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:39.200
 graciously

00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:39.880
 gave

00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:40.740
 according

00:32:40.740 --> 00:32:41.520
 to each

00:32:41.520 --> 00:32:42.400
 family's

00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:43.460
 need

00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:44.880
 so in

00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:45.400
 the same

00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:45.820
 way

00:32:45.820 --> 00:32:46.740
 just as

00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:47.080
 God

00:32:47.080 --> 00:32:47.560
 has given

00:32:47.560 --> 00:32:48.560
 to us

00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:50.720
 so we

00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:51.799
 are released

00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:52.399
 to give

00:32:52.399 --> 00:32:53.319
 to those

00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:54.339
 who are

00:32:54.339 --> 00:32:55.359
 in need

00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:57.039
 and let's

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:57.599
 be clear

00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:58.879
 that means

00:32:58.879 --> 00:32:59.659
 we spend

00:32:59.659 --> 00:33:00.259
 what we

00:33:00.259 --> 00:33:00.859
 have to

00:33:00.859 --> 00:33:01.460
 meet our

00:33:01.460 --> 00:33:02.200
 needs

00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:03.419
 not our

00:33:03.419 --> 00:33:04.000
 wants

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:04.779
 or our

00:33:04.779 --> 00:33:05.399
 luxuries

00:33:05.399 --> 00:33:06.879
 so that

00:33:06.879 --> 00:33:08.059
 we are

00:33:08.059 --> 00:33:08.879
 enabled to

00:33:08.879 --> 00:33:09.480
 give to

00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:10.059
 those

00:33:10.059 --> 00:33:10.940
 who are

00:33:10.940 --> 00:33:11.379
 most

00:33:11.379 --> 00:33:11.980
 needy

00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:13.659
 the

00:33:13.659 --> 00:33:14.179
 principle

00:33:14.179 --> 00:33:16.799
 is this

00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:19.039
 work as

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:19.579
 hard as

00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:20.240
 you can

00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:22.359
 to save

00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:22.919
 all

00:33:22.919 --> 00:33:23.940
 you can

00:33:23.940 --> 00:33:25.859
 so that

00:33:25.859 --> 00:33:26.299
 you give

00:33:26.299 --> 00:33:27.059
 as much

00:33:27.059 --> 00:33:28.460
 as you

00:33:28.460 --> 00:33:28.859
 can

00:33:28.859 --> 00:33:31.919
 you see

00:33:31.919 --> 00:33:33.099
 in chapter

00:33:33.099 --> 00:33:33.599
 eight

00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:35.059
 we have

00:33:35.059 --> 00:33:35.399
 a most

00:33:35.399 --> 00:33:36.000
 beautiful

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:36.700
 example

00:33:36.700 --> 00:33:38.559
 of churches

00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:39.980
 who in

00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:40.799
 their extreme

00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:41.419
 poverty

00:33:41.419 --> 00:33:43.359
 were able

00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:44.019
 to give

00:33:44.019 --> 00:33:45.359
 richly

00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:47.079
 and joyfully

00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:49.000
 and if

00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:49.480
 we are to

00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:50.119
 become like

00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:50.799
 that the

00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:51.379
 only way

00:33:51.379 --> 00:33:51.779
 that we

00:33:51.779 --> 00:33:52.379
 will truly

00:33:52.379 --> 00:33:53.119
 be released

00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:53.639
 and set
