00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.139
 2 Timothy 1, verse number 5.

00:00:04.139 --> 00:00:15.780
 I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and now I am sure dwells in you as well.

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:23.240
 For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:30.339
 For God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.

00:00:30.339 --> 00:00:33.159
 And so on.

00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:41.480
 I am sure every individual and personality in the Bible, they are important and special in themselves.

00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:49.520
 But one of the most significant writers in the Bible surely is Paul, who was Saul of Tarshish.

00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:59.320
 It's an interesting study to look at Paul's life, to look at the road to Damascus and the life that he lived then as a very religious man,

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:07.540
 and the road that he took from Damascus, where he became the servant of Christ and where he served the Church of Christ.

00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:15.920
 And as we see from this chapter itself, where he suffered because of his service to the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.939
 And we know that in the Bible here, we see quite clearly that there are two letters that he wrote to Timothy.

00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:32.020
 And he was concerned for Timothy personally, but he was especially concerned for the ongoing work of the gospel.

00:01:32.019 --> 00:01:39.579
 In the first letter to Timothy, he is encouraging them to remain at Ephesus.

00:01:39.579 --> 00:01:45.219
 And he is encouraging them to continue to teach the things that Paul himself taught.

00:01:45.739 --> 00:01:54.859
 He is wanting to ensure that the gospel works out to bring about change in people's everyday lives.

00:01:54.859 --> 00:02:01.519
 And so he is keen to encourage Timothy in order to watch out for the gospel.

00:02:02.060 --> 00:02:08.840
 And here in the second letter, he is the Paul who is ready to leave this world.

00:02:09.580 --> 00:02:16.759
 We heard this morning about how it may be the case that this may be our last opportunity to hear the gospel.

00:02:17.659 --> 00:02:22.360
 Paul was quite clear in his own thinking that he was coming to the end of his journey.

00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:28.280
 We see later on in chapter 4 that he is sensing that he's finished his course.

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.120
 He's fought the good fight.

00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:31.320
 He's kept the faith.

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:40.340
 He's somebody who's clear in his own thinking in the second imprisonment in Rome that he is about to leave this world.

00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:50.180
 And before he does so, he wants to remind Timothy of God's claims upon him as the servant who is going to continue the work of Paul.

00:02:50.180 --> 00:02:58.540
 And he wants to remind Timothy of the importance of remaining faithful to the teaching and to be led by the Spirit of God,

00:02:58.780 --> 00:03:03.180
 knowing that he will suffer because of the gospel.

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:14.400
 And here in these verses, we have a close reminder of the way in which Paul is interested in Timothy's welfare.

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:23.840
 I want to look at these verses from verse 5 to verse 7 this evening and to think of the presence of faith and the development of faith.

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:28.480
 I want to think, first of all, of the presence, the presence of faith.

00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:40.319
 And we want to see from this part of our message this evening that Paul wants to put his own ministry and the faith of the people of God

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:46.819
 in the context not of their own personal lives, but in the context of the wider church of Christ

00:03:46.819 --> 00:03:53.719
 and indeed in the context of the wider covenant people of God, both Old Testament and New.

00:03:53.719 --> 00:04:04.500
 And when Paul introduces himself, we see that he wants to put his own ministry and his own service right in the context of his own ancestors,

00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:08.740
 those who went before him in the Old Testament down through the generations.

00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.060
 And he does introduce himself there in verse number 3.

00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:23.019
 I thank God whom I serve as did my ancestors with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.

00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:25.659
 He is the servant of God.

00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:33.479
 He is the servant of God as somebody who is in continuity with those who served God in the Old Testament.

00:04:34.379 --> 00:04:42.899
 And if we understand Paul's own thinking, he is not only the servant of God in line with the Old Testament prophets

00:04:42.899 --> 00:04:52.039
 who are sent by God and chosen by God, he is also the servant of God in continuity with the Lord Jesus Christ himself.

00:04:53.019 --> 00:05:01.939
 The message of Isaiah in chapter 42, for example, focuses upon the coming of the Son of God into the world.

00:05:02.359 --> 00:05:04.779
 Behold my servant whom I uphold.

00:05:04.779 --> 00:05:11.859
 And Paul understood what servant who had meant for the Son of God, for the Lord Jesus,

00:05:12.419 --> 00:05:24.139
 and he seeks his own ministry, continuing, following on as the servant of God to continue the work that Jesus himself begun whilst he was here on earth.

00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:27.759
 The importance of understanding of the importance of understanding of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:34.339
 And our service in the name of God in the context of the whole of the Bible

00:05:34.339 --> 00:05:39.439
 and the very way in which we come under the banner of God's covenant of grace,

00:05:39.699 --> 00:05:47.199
 where the church develops and where God's plans for redemption are revealed more and more

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.800
 in the unfolding of the pages of the Bible.

00:05:52.579 --> 00:05:57.099
 And we see that the Paul who sees himself in that way, that he's imprisoned,

00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.740
 but he's there with a clear conscience.

00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:00.959
 He's done nothing wrong.

00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:07.079
 He is there because he suffered for the sake of his Savior.

00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:12.879
 Our faith is the faith of the community of the people of God.

00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.860
 It's the faith of the covenant people of God.

00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.939
 And that continuity is important for us to recognize.

00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:26.139
 And it's important for us to appreciate because if we do understand that,

00:06:26.719 --> 00:06:30.420
 we will see what the Word of God says about my faith

00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:36.180
 and then learn what it means to have faith and to live by faith.

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.899
 But as speaking to Timothy,

00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:44.699
 he wants to move to the context of personal faith.

00:06:45.659 --> 00:06:47.620
 And that's what he wants to focus on this evening,

00:06:48.159 --> 00:06:52.359
 that faith is personal in the context of the bigger picture.

00:06:53.279 --> 00:07:01.339
 And Paul speaks in verse 5 about the way in which he is reminded of Timothy's sincere faith.

00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:07.000
 Every time he thinks of Timothy, he thinks of faith.

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:11.540
 I wonder what you think about any person.

00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.040
 What is the first thing that you think about anybody?

00:07:15.819 --> 00:07:19.120
 Do you think immediately about their faith?

00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:23.300
 As soon as Paul remembered Timothy,

00:07:23.899 --> 00:07:28.860
 he prayed for him and he remembered his faith.

00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:31.759
 And as we consider faith,

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.319
 we want us to understand something of what faith means.

00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:38.439
 In Hebrews chapter 11,

00:07:38.580 --> 00:07:44.860
 we read that faith is the substance of things hoped for,

00:07:45.259 --> 00:07:49.520
 the conviction of things that are not yet seen.

00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:53.180
 And there are two things within that definition of faith

00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:56.180
 that help us to appreciate what faith is.

00:07:56.599 --> 00:07:58.159
 It is, first of all,

00:07:58.279 --> 00:07:59.659
 the substance,

00:07:59.899 --> 00:08:03.659
 what is set under the Word of God

00:08:03.659 --> 00:08:05.799
 and the promises of God in my thinking.

00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:11.980
 It is what gives the Word of God a platform in my mind.

00:08:13.180 --> 00:08:15.100
 Tonight, if I have no faith tonight,

00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:18.639
 the Word of God will land on my mind

00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.379
 and will just disappear and vanish

00:08:20.379 --> 00:08:24.840
 because it does not have the platform on which it is going to rest

00:08:24.840 --> 00:08:29.400
 and where I am going to view the Word of God by my faith.

00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.939
 But you will know tonight that if you have faith,

00:08:33.259 --> 00:08:34.679
 that's what it does for you.

00:08:35.079 --> 00:08:38.159
 It gives you that sense of observing,

00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.720
 of admiring in the Word of God

00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:41.840
 and the promises of God.

00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:43.879
 You hear, you read,

00:08:44.079 --> 00:08:45.139
 the Word of God is preached

00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:48.500
 and there it is on display before you.

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:49.699
 It doesn't vanish.

00:08:50.319 --> 00:08:53.519
 It doesn't vanish even as you leave the church service.

00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.740
 It remains part of your thinking

00:08:56.740 --> 00:08:58.740
 because faith is working.

00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.459
 And faith ensures that the Word of God stays in your mind

00:09:03.459 --> 00:09:05.059
 and you're able to look upon it.

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:07.720
 And along that,

00:09:08.079 --> 00:09:09.139
 faith is the assurance,

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.659
 the conviction about things not seen.

00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.500
 And because the Word of God comes

00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:20.000
 and rests in my faith in that way,

00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.559
 I see what God has promised to do

00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.919
 along with what God has already done.

00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:28.199
 And because I see all of these things,

00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.180
 I know that what God has promised to do,

00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:34.200
 He will fulfill it eventually.

00:09:34.540 --> 00:09:35.680
 And at the end of time,

00:09:35.780 --> 00:09:37.900
 He will bring this world to an end.

00:09:38.280 --> 00:09:39.300
 His Son will return

00:09:39.300 --> 00:09:43.600
 and all of His promises will at last be fulfilled.

00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:47.000
 That's what faith looks like.

00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:51.440
 That's how the Bible describes faith.

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:58.180
 It's that sense of having a place for the Word of God

00:09:58.180 --> 00:10:00.120
 to rest in our minds,

00:10:00.780 --> 00:10:02.900
 for our hearts to feed upon it

00:10:02.900 --> 00:10:04.280
 and to learn from it,

00:10:04.540 --> 00:10:06.800
 and for our daily lives to be lived,

00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:08.600
 looking at the promises of God

00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.880
 and knowing that He will be with us always.

00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:15.059
 And when Paul thinks of Timothy,

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:18.120
 he is reminded of his sincere faith.

00:10:19.340 --> 00:10:22.399
 It's a faith that is without pretension.

00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:27.519
 It's not a performance for the public stage.

00:10:28.059 --> 00:10:32.000
 It's something that arises from the very heart of Timothy.

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.139
 Timothy.

00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:37.620
 And it's important for us to understand faith in that way.

00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:41.559
 As much as our faith is displayed by its works,

00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.679
 our faith arises from our hearts.

00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.620
 It's not for sure in the sense of being a performance.

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:55.000
 It is something that arises from the depths of our being,

00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:56.120
 from our choosing,

00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:57.159
 from our willing,

00:10:57.700 --> 00:10:59.600
 and from our loving of God.

00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:05.540
 Timothy's sincere faith.

00:11:07.560 --> 00:11:12.019
 I wonder what your own faith is like this evening.

00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.779
 I guess we all come to hear the Gospel and the Word of God

00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:20.180
 because in some way we have faith

00:11:20.180 --> 00:11:24.940
 and we accept and acknowledge what the Bible says.

00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:30.560
 But the faith that Timothy has in sincerity,

00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:32.700
 the faith that Paul is looking for,

00:11:33.300 --> 00:11:37.560
 the faith that God is looking for from you and for me,

00:11:38.420 --> 00:11:42.920
 is that heartfelt sense of devotion to God,

00:11:43.520 --> 00:11:45.820
 being persuaded of the Word of God,

00:11:46.280 --> 00:11:48.900
 and leaning upon God and resting upon God

00:11:48.899 --> 00:11:52.379
 every day of my life.

00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.480
 A personal faith.

00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:58.720
 A sincere faith.

00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.879
 A faith that brings about great change.

00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:09.919
 And the personal faith that Paul highlights,

00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:14.159
 he wants to place it in the context of family faith.

00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:16.659
 And that's really important

00:12:16.659 --> 00:12:20.159
 because we read the Bible

00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.200
 and we read the way in which God works in families.

00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.600
 God's covenant people are blessed in their families.

00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:31.259
 And generation after generation,

00:12:31.800 --> 00:12:32.960
 there is continuity

00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.200
 down through the revelation of the Bible

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.120
 where God is working through families.

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.480
 He works outside of families also, of course.

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.620
 But generally, ordinarily,

00:12:44.400 --> 00:12:47.259
 God works through his covenant people.

00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:55.519
 And Paul here is looking at the way in verse 5

00:12:55.519 --> 00:13:00.039
 in which it's a faith that dwelt in your grandmother Lois

00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.960
 and your mother Eunice.

00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.059
 It's a family faith

00:13:05.059 --> 00:13:09.460
 that dwelt, first of all, in a grandmother.

00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:12.399
 And the dwelling of faith is something

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.439
 that's vitally important.

00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:19.220
 It's something that speaks to us of life

00:13:19.220 --> 00:13:23.240
 and of something being dynamic in life

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:24.640
 and working powerfully.

00:13:25.900 --> 00:13:29.100
 If we think of a home where we live,

00:13:29.180 --> 00:13:31.280
 we can have items of furniture

00:13:31.280 --> 00:13:32.640
 that are really attractive,

00:13:33.460 --> 00:13:34.900
 that are beautiful to look at,

00:13:35.180 --> 00:13:36.640
 that set a particular purpose,

00:13:37.020 --> 00:13:38.260
 but there's no life in them.

00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:39.760
 They don't contribute anything

00:13:39.760 --> 00:13:41.280
 to the life of the home.

00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.519
 But place somebody in the home

00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:46.740
 full of energy, full of life,

00:13:47.079 --> 00:13:48.480
 the home becomes alive.

00:13:49.100 --> 00:13:49.899
 There is movement.

00:13:50.740 --> 00:13:53.600
 There is a dynamism about the family life

00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:56.360
 because of the introduction of life.

00:13:58.039 --> 00:13:59.519
 That's the kind of dwelling

00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.399
 that Paul is referring to here.

00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.439
 This faith was a faith

00:14:03.439 --> 00:14:06.019
 that was in your grandmother.

00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:09.360
 It was something that was powerfully dynamic

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.279
 that brought about a great change in her life.

00:14:14.819 --> 00:14:17.139
 And then that was also found

00:14:17.139 --> 00:14:19.379
 in your mother Eunice.

00:14:20.659 --> 00:14:23.819
 There was the development of faith

00:14:23.819 --> 00:14:25.799
 through Timothy's family

00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.360
 reinforcing the sense of the fact

00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.720
 that God does work in continuity

00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:32.819
 with his people,

00:14:33.319 --> 00:14:34.699
 in continuity with his covenant,

00:14:34.700 --> 00:14:37.379
 and through the teaching

00:14:37.379 --> 00:14:38.780
 and the lessons

00:14:38.780 --> 00:14:39.860
 and the example

00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:42.440
 given by parents

00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.500
 to their children.

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.800
 And I'm sure this evening

00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:53.000
 that there are many people

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.280
 here in this time of worship

00:14:56.280 --> 00:14:57.420
 and in this service

00:14:57.420 --> 00:15:00.340
 who learnt the Bible

00:15:00.340 --> 00:15:01.480
 from their parents,

00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.920
 who learnt the Bible

00:15:03.920 --> 00:15:06.259
 from their grandparents,

00:15:07.220 --> 00:15:09.639
 who were taught the things of God.

00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.740
 God commanded the people of God

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:14.639
 in the Old Testament

00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.779
 to teach to their children

00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:19.039
 in their homes

00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:20.360
 and while walking in the way

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.100
 to reinforce the teaching of the Bible

00:15:23.100 --> 00:15:25.300
 always so the children grow up

00:15:25.300 --> 00:15:26.899
 to understand the Bible.

00:15:26.899 --> 00:15:30.199
 And Timothy himself,

00:15:30.579 --> 00:15:31.199
 later on,

00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:32.980
 Paul refers to him

00:15:32.980 --> 00:15:33.860
 as the person who,

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.500
 from childhood,

00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:36.819
 you have been acquainted

00:15:36.819 --> 00:15:39.019
 with the writings of Scripture

00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:44.000
 which make you wise to salvation.

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:48.440
 And tonight,

00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.840
 as a young person,

00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:53.639
 please remember

00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.820
 that God is speaking to you

00:15:56.820 --> 00:15:59.860
 through your mothers and fathers,

00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.320
 through your grandmothers and grandfathers,

00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:05.440
 if you have them still with you.

00:16:06.179 --> 00:16:08.620
 God is speaking to you through them

00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:12.120
 and God wants you to learn from them

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:14.320
 and to listen to everything

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:15.299
 that they speak to you

00:16:15.299 --> 00:16:17.259
 about the way that you should live,

00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:18.519
 the way that you should worship,

00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.659
 the way that you should serve God

00:16:20.659 --> 00:16:22.060
 and the way that you need

00:16:22.060 --> 00:16:23.759
 to come to faith.

00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:27.019
 Young people,

00:16:27.179 --> 00:16:28.259
 you need to listen

00:16:28.259 --> 00:16:30.560
 to your parents to learn.

00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.919
 And there is the importance also

00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:38.560
 of the home and family environment.

00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:41.759
 where you as parents

00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:43.460
 have the responsibility

00:16:43.460 --> 00:16:44.840
 and the privilege

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.460
 to lay before your children

00:16:47.460 --> 00:16:49.539
 the importance of faith,

00:16:50.560 --> 00:16:52.299
 the importance of the things of God,

00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.279
 not just for the Lord's Day

00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:55.240
 and for Sunday,

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:57.899
 but for every day living

00:16:57.899 --> 00:17:00.259
 and for every day of the week.

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.799
 God blesses that ministry

00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:05.619
 that takes place

00:17:05.619 --> 00:17:07.880
 around the family table

00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:09.840
 in the family home.

00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:12.540
 And God regularly blesses

00:17:12.540 --> 00:17:13.220
 that ministry.

00:17:13.840 --> 00:17:15.040
 And from it so often,

00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:16.760
 we see our children,

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:17.720
 our young people,

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.820
 growing up and developing

00:17:19.820 --> 00:17:20.560
 in their faith

00:17:20.560 --> 00:17:22.100
 because of the things

00:17:22.100 --> 00:17:23.020
 that they have learned

00:17:23.020 --> 00:17:25.440
 and the things that they remember.

00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:28.480
 and time after time

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:30.519
 on my own journey

00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:31.240
 through faith

00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:33.640
 come across so many people

00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:34.559
 who will,

00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:36.160
 in telling the story

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:37.900
 of them coming to faith

00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:38.580
 on the Lord Jesus,

00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:40.140
 will speak about the things

00:17:40.140 --> 00:17:40.759
 they learned

00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:41.640
 when they were younger,

00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:42.700
 what they learned

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:43.480
 at home

00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:44.900
 and in Sunday school,

00:17:45.600 --> 00:17:47.019
 and what they learned

00:17:47.019 --> 00:17:48.019
 even in day school

00:17:48.019 --> 00:17:50.779
 about the things of God.

00:17:50.779 --> 00:17:53.680
 these things leave a mark.

00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:56.359
 And that kind of ministry

00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:57.660
 takes place

00:17:57.660 --> 00:17:59.480
 in the environment

00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:00.200
 of our home

00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:01.660
 with prayer

00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:02.779
 and recognizing

00:18:02.779 --> 00:18:04.819
 that only God

00:18:04.819 --> 00:18:06.299
 is going to bless.

00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:08.980
 so that there is

00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:09.700
 that sense

00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:11.200
 of the community

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:11.879
 of faith

00:18:11.879 --> 00:18:13.139
 into which we come

00:18:13.139 --> 00:18:13.879
 by faith.

00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:15.279
 There is that sense

00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:15.619
 of the need

00:18:15.619 --> 00:18:17.079
 of personal faith

00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.079
 and there is that sense

00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:20.799
 of the importance

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:22.720
 of family faith.

00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:24.680
 And of course,

00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:25.379
 there is no way

00:18:25.379 --> 00:18:27.559
 that Paul is saying

00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:28.220
 or there is no way

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:28.980
 that I'm saying

00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:30.460
 that that alone

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:31.839
 will save anyone.

00:18:33.059 --> 00:18:33.659
 Of course,

00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:34.279
 it will not,

00:18:34.399 --> 00:18:35.659
 but it can be

00:18:35.660 --> 00:18:36.900
 the means so often

00:18:36.900 --> 00:18:38.259
 and it has been

00:18:38.259 --> 00:18:39.180
 the means

00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:39.800
 through which

00:18:39.800 --> 00:18:40.980
 God works

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:42.200
 to bring about

00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:43.540
 change in the lives

00:18:43.540 --> 00:18:44.700
 of our children

00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:46.100
 and of our young people.

00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:48.120
 And may we be encouraged

00:18:48.120 --> 00:18:49.340
 recognizing

00:18:49.340 --> 00:18:50.900
 the presence of faith

00:18:50.900 --> 00:18:51.480
 in Timothy

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.400
 to seek to recognize

00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:54.220
 the presence of faith

00:18:54.220 --> 00:18:54.880
 in ourselves

00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:57.220
 and to seek to ensure

00:18:57.220 --> 00:18:58.200
 that because

00:18:58.200 --> 00:18:59.580
 we have the faith

00:18:59.580 --> 00:19:00.500
 that belongs

00:19:00.500 --> 00:19:01.160
 to the whole

00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:01.960
 of the community

00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:02.460
 of faith,

00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:03.660
 the church of Christ,

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:05.019
 that we have

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:05.960
 the responsibility

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:08.259
 to use that faith

00:19:08.259 --> 00:19:09.259
 in teaching

00:19:09.259 --> 00:19:10.819
 and in instruction.

00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:12.259
 There is

00:19:12.259 --> 00:19:13.700
 the presence

00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:15.879
 of faith.

00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:18.400
 Secondly,

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:20.579
 there is

00:19:20.579 --> 00:19:21.460
 a problem

00:19:21.460 --> 00:19:23.400
 regularly

00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:24.240
 in the Bible

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:26.559
 when the standard

00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:27.200
 is set,

00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:28.680
 when what God requires

00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:29.700
 is set before us,

00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:31.339
 there is usually

00:19:31.339 --> 00:19:32.259
 a problem

00:19:32.259 --> 00:19:33.940
 that the Bible

00:19:33.940 --> 00:19:34.500
 addresses.

00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:35.940
 And there is

00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:36.619
 a problem here

00:19:36.619 --> 00:19:37.779
 which comes to our attention

00:19:37.779 --> 00:19:39.279
 in verse number 6.

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:40.640
 For this reason,

00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.420
 I remind you

00:19:41.420 --> 00:19:43.160
 to fan into flame

00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:45.319
 the gift

00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:46.359
 of God.

00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:49.700
 Paul is reminded

00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:50.640
 about Timothy

00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:53.279
 and Paul wants

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.579
 to remind Timothy

00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:56.319
 about something else.

00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:58.259
 and he wants

00:19:58.259 --> 00:20:00.359
 to remind him

00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:01.379
 about what

00:20:01.379 --> 00:20:02.179
 is taking place

00:20:02.179 --> 00:20:02.720
 in his heart

00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.299
 to fan the flame

00:20:04.299 --> 00:20:05.339
 which is

00:20:05.339 --> 00:20:05.879
 the gift

00:20:05.879 --> 00:20:06.939
 of God.

00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:09.119
 And the very words

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:10.679
 suggest to us

00:20:10.679 --> 00:20:11.799
 and paint the picture

00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:12.359
 for us

00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:13.559
 that here is

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:14.019
 a fire

00:20:14.019 --> 00:20:14.899
 that is

00:20:14.899 --> 00:20:16.700
 because of neglect

00:20:16.700 --> 00:20:17.720
 that it is

00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:18.460
 in danger

00:20:18.460 --> 00:20:20.159
 of burning out.

00:20:22.059 --> 00:20:22.619
 There is

00:20:22.619 --> 00:20:25.000
 not much left

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:26.359
 but the signs

00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:27.220
 of ashes

00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:28.599
 or embers

00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:30.000
 or the sense

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:31.039
 of the fire

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:32.940
 just on its last legs

00:20:32.940 --> 00:20:35.019
 ready to burn

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:35.720
 itself out

00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:36.619
 completely.

00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:39.980
 The sense

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:41.380
 that this fire

00:20:41.380 --> 00:20:41.940
 needs

00:20:41.940 --> 00:20:43.660
 attention.

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:47.839
 This morning

00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:49.299
 we heard

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:49.660
 about

00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:50.859
 light

00:20:50.859 --> 00:20:52.740
 and the illustration

00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:54.160
 of streetlights.

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.619
 a different way

00:20:57.619 --> 00:20:58.359
 of looking

00:20:58.359 --> 00:20:59.200
 at streetlights

00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:00.279
 that help us

00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:01.000
 to understand

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:01.839
 the passage here.

00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:02.960
 The streetlights

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:03.640
 that are there

00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:04.559
 for a purpose

00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:05.980
 for our safety

00:21:05.980 --> 00:21:06.799
 to show us

00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:07.720
 where we are going

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:09.200
 and regularly

00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:09.920
 on our streets

00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.039
 in a dark winter's night

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:12.119
 we can see

00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:13.039
 some of the lamps

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:14.579
 either simply flickering

00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:15.920
 or not working

00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:16.480
 at all.

00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:18.559
 And because

00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:19.299
 they are not working

00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:19.859
 at all

00:21:19.859 --> 00:21:21.420
 it introduces

00:21:21.420 --> 00:21:22.000
 danger

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:22.880
 into the path

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:23.740
 and there is

00:21:23.740 --> 00:21:24.340
 that space

00:21:24.340 --> 00:21:25.080
 of darkness

00:21:25.080 --> 00:21:26.380
 where this light

00:21:26.380 --> 00:21:27.440
 should be shiny

00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:28.860
 and where it is not.

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:30.980
 And that lamp

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:31.860
 needs attention

00:21:31.860 --> 00:21:33.320
 because there is

00:21:33.320 --> 00:21:34.240
 a fault on it.

00:21:34.620 --> 00:21:35.100
 There is

00:21:35.100 --> 00:21:36.420
 maintenance work

00:21:36.420 --> 00:21:37.400
 required

00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:38.580
 in order to

00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:39.820
 fix the light

00:21:39.820 --> 00:21:40.740
 so that it

00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:41.340
 fulfills

00:21:41.340 --> 00:21:42.780
 its purpose.

00:21:42.779 --> 00:21:47.240
 and from what

00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:48.339
 Paul is saying

00:21:48.339 --> 00:21:49.500
 it suggests

00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:50.099
 to us

00:21:50.099 --> 00:21:50.480
 tonight

00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:50.740
 that

00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:52.160
 there may be

00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:52.619
 times

00:21:52.619 --> 00:21:53.680
 in your life

00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:54.279
 and mine

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:57.200
 when our faith

00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:57.740
 is

00:21:57.740 --> 00:21:59.740
 withering away

00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:01.579
 when its

00:22:01.579 --> 00:22:02.440
 very activity

00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:03.059
 is coming

00:22:03.059 --> 00:22:03.839
 to an end

00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:05.579
 when because

00:22:05.579 --> 00:22:06.539
 of our

00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:07.539
 neglect

00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:08.779
 of our faith

00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:10.359
 it has

00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:11.519
 stopped

00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:12.460
 working.

00:22:13.879 --> 00:22:14.180
 Faith

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:14.779
 will never

00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:15.359
 vanish

00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:15.879
 completely

00:22:15.879 --> 00:22:16.539
 because it

00:22:16.539 --> 00:22:16.960
 is the

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:17.460
 gift of

00:22:17.460 --> 00:22:17.879
 God

00:22:17.879 --> 00:22:19.480
 but its

00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:20.019
 development

00:22:20.019 --> 00:22:20.799
 depends

00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:22.480
 on the

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:22.819
 way in

00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:23.700
 which I'm

00:22:23.700 --> 00:22:24.000
 going to

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:24.559
 look after

00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:25.160
 my faith

00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:26.700
 and as

00:22:26.700 --> 00:22:27.000
 surely

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:28.240
 as a

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:28.660
 fire

00:22:28.660 --> 00:22:30.099
 will stop

00:22:30.099 --> 00:22:30.740
 working

00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:31.359
 will stop

00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:31.920
 burning

00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:33.039
 when we

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:33.980
 remove heat

00:22:33.980 --> 00:22:35.200
 and fuel

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:35.839
 and oxygen

00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:36.460
 from it

00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:38.059
 as soon

00:22:38.059 --> 00:22:38.599
 as you

00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:38.960
 and I

00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:39.599
 neglect

00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:40.259
 our faith

00:22:40.259 --> 00:22:41.539
 then our

00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:41.920
 faith

00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:42.420
 begins

00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:42.759
 to

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.400
 wither

00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:44.740
 away

00:22:44.740 --> 00:22:48.879
 and

00:22:48.879 --> 00:22:49.240
 tonight

00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:49.859
 it's worth

00:22:49.859 --> 00:22:50.359
 asking

00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:51.299
 the question

00:22:51.299 --> 00:22:54.119
 is it

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:54.640
 possible

00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.279
 that you

00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:57.160
 are neglecting

00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:57.759
 your faith

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.259
 and starving

00:22:59.259 --> 00:22:59.960
 your faith

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:01.140
 of the very

00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:01.660
 things that

00:23:01.660 --> 00:23:02.059
 your faith

00:23:02.059 --> 00:23:02.460
 needs

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:03.160
 in order

00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:03.740
 to grow

00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:04.640
 and that

00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:05.279
 because of

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:05.539
 that

00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:06.859
 your faith

00:23:06.859 --> 00:23:08.119
 is beginning

00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:10.099
 to fail

00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:12.359
 later on

00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:12.940
 in this

00:23:12.940 --> 00:23:13.379
 chapter

00:23:13.379 --> 00:23:14.240
 the book

00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:14.559
 itself

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:14.920
 in chapter

00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:15.480
 number 4

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:16.240
 Paul

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:17.059
 refers to

00:23:17.059 --> 00:23:18.079
 the man

00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:18.379
 called

00:23:18.379 --> 00:23:18.940
 Demas

00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:19.700
 who in

00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:20.059
 love with

00:23:20.059 --> 00:23:20.639
 this present

00:23:20.639 --> 00:23:21.079
 world

00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.519
 has forsaken

00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:23.879
 him

00:23:23.879 --> 00:23:25.639
 there is that

00:23:25.639 --> 00:23:26.359
 sense of

00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:26.859
 the way in

00:23:26.859 --> 00:23:27.159
 which

00:23:27.159 --> 00:23:28.279
 living our

00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:28.779
 lives in

00:23:28.779 --> 00:23:29.420
 this world

00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:30.659
 exposes us

00:23:30.659 --> 00:23:31.379
 to the danger

00:23:31.379 --> 00:23:32.659
 of neglecting

00:23:32.660 --> 00:23:33.240
 our faith

00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:34.980
 and introducing

00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:35.680
 into our lives

00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:36.140
 the very

00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:36.700
 things that

00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:37.880
 will smother

00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:38.420
 the fire

00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:39.060
 that will

00:23:39.060 --> 00:23:39.560
 eventually

00:23:39.560 --> 00:23:40.519
 snuff it out

00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:41.480
 and cause it

00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:42.320
 not to burn

00:23:42.320 --> 00:23:43.320
 at all

00:23:43.320 --> 00:23:45.820
 what is

00:23:45.820 --> 00:23:47.320
 your faith

00:23:47.320 --> 00:23:48.080
 like

00:23:48.080 --> 00:23:51.660
 have you

00:23:51.660 --> 00:23:52.180
 neglected

00:23:52.180 --> 00:23:53.000
 your faith

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.800
 are you

00:23:55.800 --> 00:23:56.340
 starving

00:23:56.340 --> 00:23:56.980
 your faith

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:58.620
 and you're

00:23:58.620 --> 00:23:59.259
 wondering why

00:23:59.259 --> 00:23:59.840
 your faith

00:23:59.840 --> 00:24:00.620
 isn't growing

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:03.519
 the possibility

00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:05.459
 of these

00:24:05.459 --> 00:24:06.259
 things happening

00:24:06.259 --> 00:24:07.319
 in life

00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:08.439
 in the world

00:24:08.439 --> 00:24:09.699
 in our

00:24:09.699 --> 00:24:10.559
 working life

00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:11.419
 in our

00:24:11.419 --> 00:24:11.879
 things that

00:24:11.879 --> 00:24:12.119
 we are

00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:13.639
 exposed to

00:24:13.639 --> 00:24:15.279
 in our

00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:16.599
 school life

00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:18.439
 in family

00:24:18.439 --> 00:24:18.899
 life

00:24:18.899 --> 00:24:19.339
 in life

00:24:19.339 --> 00:24:19.619
 with our

00:24:19.619 --> 00:24:20.019
 friends

00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:21.199
 so many

00:24:21.199 --> 00:24:21.859
 things that

00:24:21.859 --> 00:24:22.919
 are working

00:24:22.919 --> 00:24:23.279
 in the

00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:23.899
 environment

00:24:23.899 --> 00:24:24.779
 around us

00:24:24.779 --> 00:24:26.159
 seeking to

00:24:26.159 --> 00:24:27.159
 starve our

00:24:27.159 --> 00:24:27.819
 faith of

00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:28.519
 what it

00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:28.859
 needs

00:24:28.859 --> 00:24:30.939
 and the

00:24:30.939 --> 00:24:31.379
 danger

00:24:31.379 --> 00:24:32.299
 that we

00:24:32.299 --> 00:24:32.799
 are exposed

00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:33.559
 to in all

00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:33.879
 of these

00:24:33.879 --> 00:24:34.419
 areas of

00:24:34.419 --> 00:24:34.719
 life

00:24:34.719 --> 00:24:35.899
 of embracing

00:24:35.899 --> 00:24:36.439
 the very

00:24:36.439 --> 00:24:36.979
 things

00:24:36.979 --> 00:24:38.519
 that are

00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:39.439
 so harmful

00:24:39.439 --> 00:24:41.019
 to our

00:24:41.019 --> 00:24:41.399
 faith

00:24:41.399 --> 00:24:43.459
 the problem

00:24:43.459 --> 00:24:44.639
 of

00:24:44.639 --> 00:24:45.579
 neglect

00:24:45.579 --> 00:24:47.439
 the problem

00:24:47.439 --> 00:24:47.819
 of

00:24:47.819 --> 00:24:48.719
 starving

00:24:48.719 --> 00:24:50.399
 our faith

00:24:50.399 --> 00:24:52.179
 and Paul

00:24:52.179 --> 00:24:52.679
 exhorts

00:24:52.679 --> 00:24:53.359
 Timothy

00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:54.139
 as he

00:24:54.139 --> 00:24:54.599
 reminds him

00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:54.939
 of that

00:24:54.939 --> 00:24:56.199
 to fan

00:24:56.199 --> 00:24:56.559
 up

00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:57.339
 fan into

00:24:57.339 --> 00:24:57.700
 flame

00:24:57.700 --> 00:24:58.700
 the gift

00:24:58.700 --> 00:24:59.319
 of God

00:24:59.319 --> 00:24:59.720
 which is

00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:00.139
 in you

00:25:00.139 --> 00:25:00.919
 through the

00:25:00.919 --> 00:25:01.339
 laying on

00:25:01.339 --> 00:25:02.039
 of my

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:02.619
 hands

00:25:02.619 --> 00:25:05.139
 he has

00:25:05.139 --> 00:25:05.339
 a

00:25:05.339 --> 00:25:06.259
 responsibility

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:08.259
 he has

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:08.919
 a responsibility

00:25:08.919 --> 00:25:10.399
 to revive

00:25:10.399 --> 00:25:11.259
 this fire

00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:12.099
 to stir

00:25:12.099 --> 00:25:12.440
 it up

00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:12.740
 again

00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:14.379
 to reactivate

00:25:14.379 --> 00:25:14.919
 this fire

00:25:14.919 --> 00:25:15.899
 so that it

00:25:15.899 --> 00:25:16.599
 begins to

00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:16.919
 burn

00:25:16.919 --> 00:25:17.599
 that is

00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:18.299
 active again

00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:18.740
 the way

00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:19.200
 that it

00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:19.599
 was

00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:20.399
 before

00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.280
 is to

00:25:22.280 --> 00:25:22.580
 take

00:25:22.580 --> 00:25:23.320
 the

00:25:23.320 --> 00:25:24.540
 kindling

00:25:24.540 --> 00:25:25.460
 that will

00:25:25.460 --> 00:25:26.120
 rekindle

00:25:26.120 --> 00:25:26.600
 the fire

00:25:26.600 --> 00:25:27.300
 and to

00:25:27.300 --> 00:25:27.960
 ensure that

00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:28.480
 what I

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:29.040
 choose as

00:25:29.040 --> 00:25:29.860
 my kindle

00:25:29.860 --> 00:25:31.340
 to rekindle

00:25:31.340 --> 00:25:31.780
 the fire

00:25:31.780 --> 00:25:33.360
 are the

00:25:33.360 --> 00:25:34.000
 things that

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:34.920
 are effective

00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:36.820
 in order to

00:25:36.820 --> 00:25:37.380
 ensure that

00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:37.960
 the fire

00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:38.580
 begins

00:25:38.580 --> 00:25:39.640
 to burn

00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:42.280
 and for

00:25:42.280 --> 00:25:42.640
 our fire

00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:43.300
 we go for

00:25:43.300 --> 00:25:44.560
 the kindle

00:25:44.560 --> 00:25:45.280
 the dry

00:25:45.280 --> 00:25:45.800
 pieces of

00:25:45.800 --> 00:25:46.000
 wood

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:46.820
 that are

00:25:46.820 --> 00:25:47.280
 so ready

00:25:47.280 --> 00:25:47.860
 to burn

00:25:47.860 --> 00:25:48.840
 with the

00:25:48.840 --> 00:25:49.280
 least bit

00:25:49.280 --> 00:25:49.720
 of heat

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.779
 and we

00:25:52.779 --> 00:25:53.059
 need to

00:25:53.059 --> 00:25:53.740
 ensure as

00:25:53.740 --> 00:25:54.420
 we seek

00:25:54.420 --> 00:25:55.620
 to rekindle

00:25:55.620 --> 00:25:56.680
 our faith

00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:59.360
 that we

00:25:59.360 --> 00:26:00.339
 use the

00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:00.819
 things

00:26:00.819 --> 00:26:02.380
 that God

00:26:02.380 --> 00:26:03.240
 has designed

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:04.480
 will do

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:05.299
 exactly

00:26:05.299 --> 00:26:06.500
 that

00:26:06.500 --> 00:26:09.460
 and

00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:10.480
 the danger

00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.019
 again that

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:11.279
 we are

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:12.000
 exposed to

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:12.360
 is that

00:26:12.360 --> 00:26:13.640
 we choose

00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:14.240
 the things

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:14.680
 that we

00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:15.500
 think are

00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:15.819
 going to

00:26:15.819 --> 00:26:16.400
 rekindle

00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:17.180
 the flame

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:17.500
 of our

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:17.920
 faith

00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:18.940
 when in

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:19.680
 actual fact

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:20.900
 there are

00:26:20.900 --> 00:26:21.519
 things that

00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:22.380
 will smother

00:26:22.380 --> 00:26:23.259
 it more

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:24.440
 and more

00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:26.720
 it's learning

00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.320
 to take

00:26:27.320 --> 00:26:27.840
 the things

00:26:27.840 --> 00:26:30.620
 that belong

00:26:30.620 --> 00:26:31.240
 to God

00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:32.840
 that will

00:26:32.840 --> 00:26:33.539
 revive

00:26:33.539 --> 00:26:34.640
 my faith

00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:35.259
 and refresh

00:26:35.259 --> 00:26:35.720
 it and

00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:36.200
 cause it

00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:37.519
 to be

00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:38.240
 built up

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:39.799
 and strengthened

00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:40.600
 and to cause

00:26:40.600 --> 00:26:41.140
 it to be

00:26:41.140 --> 00:26:42.380
 developed

00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:44.820
 and Paul

00:26:44.820 --> 00:26:45.580
 speaks in

00:26:45.580 --> 00:26:46.360
 1st Timothy

00:26:46.360 --> 00:26:47.640
 chapter 4

00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:48.360
 of the

00:26:48.360 --> 00:26:48.900
 very things

00:26:48.900 --> 00:26:49.500
 that Timothy

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:50.240
 himself must

00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:50.980
 do in order

00:26:50.980 --> 00:26:52.160
 to ensure

00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:53.580
 that the fire

00:26:53.580 --> 00:26:54.240
 keeps burning

00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.440
 devote yourself

00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:58.220
 in public

00:26:58.220 --> 00:26:58.780
 and in private

00:26:58.780 --> 00:26:59.340
 to the reading

00:26:59.340 --> 00:26:59.960
 of scripture

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:01.440
 to exhortation

00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:02.020
 to teaching

00:27:02.020 --> 00:27:03.600
 do not neglect

00:27:03.600 --> 00:27:04.280
 the gift

00:27:04.280 --> 00:27:05.000
 of God

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:05.580
 that is in you

00:27:05.580 --> 00:27:06.920
 practice these

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:07.300
 things

00:27:07.300 --> 00:27:08.560
 immerse yourself

00:27:08.560 --> 00:27:09.020
 in them

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:10.220
 keep a close

00:27:10.220 --> 00:27:10.879
 watch on

00:27:10.879 --> 00:27:11.379
 yourself

00:27:11.379 --> 00:27:12.900
 persist in

00:27:12.900 --> 00:27:13.160
 this

00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:14.059
 so that you

00:27:14.059 --> 00:27:14.559
 may save

00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:15.299
 both yourself

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:16.139
 and others

00:27:16.139 --> 00:27:17.819
 it's a picture

00:27:17.819 --> 00:27:19.099
 of the Bible

00:27:19.099 --> 00:27:20.700
 and perseverance

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:22.339
 in studying the Bible

00:27:22.339 --> 00:27:23.700
 and learning the Bible

00:27:23.700 --> 00:27:25.039
 and knowing the Bible

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.559
 and in putting the Bible

00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:27.720
 into practice

00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:29.819
 immersing yourselves

00:27:29.819 --> 00:27:31.059
 in the word of God

00:27:31.059 --> 00:27:32.359
 and from there

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:33.940
 emerging as those

00:27:33.940 --> 00:27:34.799
 who are ready

00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:35.500
 to live out

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:36.359
 the word of God

00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:37.539
 to walk

00:27:37.539 --> 00:27:38.240
 in the light

00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:38.920
 with God

00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:41.019
 and to stand

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:41.599
 firm

00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:42.859
 as those

00:27:42.859 --> 00:27:43.359
 who have

00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:44.579
 faith

00:27:44.579 --> 00:27:51.039
 the problem

00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:52.960
 the answer

00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:54.039
 is simple

00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:55.599
 and

00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:57.099
 the answer

00:27:57.099 --> 00:27:58.220
 is exactly

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:59.200
 what we're doing

00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:00.220
 here this evening

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:01.240
 or that's at least

00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:02.420
 part of the answer

00:28:02.420 --> 00:28:04.480
 that in the public

00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:05.480
 worship of God

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:06.819
 my faith

00:28:06.819 --> 00:28:07.640
 is instructed

00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:09.360
 I learn about

00:28:09.360 --> 00:28:10.019
 my faith

00:28:10.019 --> 00:28:11.079
 I learn about

00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:11.960
 what God is saying

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:13.000
 in his word

00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:14.420
 and that feeds

00:28:14.420 --> 00:28:15.120
 my faith

00:28:15.120 --> 00:28:16.400
 it's like fuel

00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:17.140
 to the fire

00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:17.900
 of my faith

00:28:17.900 --> 00:28:19.120
 and so my faith

00:28:19.120 --> 00:28:20.140
 begins to grow

00:28:20.140 --> 00:28:23.039
 and my very neglect

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:24.539
 of the public

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:25.400
 worship of God

00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:26.559
 which God has

00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:27.500
 appointed

00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:28.539
 for that purpose

00:28:28.539 --> 00:28:30.539
 exposes me

00:28:30.539 --> 00:28:31.279
 immediately

00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:34.319
 to my faith

00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:35.599
 losing its edge

00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:37.539
 losing its fire

00:28:37.539 --> 00:28:39.220
 and to my faith

00:28:39.220 --> 00:28:40.039
 simply beginning

00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:40.379
 to

00:28:40.379 --> 00:28:41.799
 to wither out

00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.879
 and because of

00:28:44.879 --> 00:28:45.920
 the way in which

00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:46.660
 we are all exposed

00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:47.740
 to this problem

00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:50.359
 the importance

00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:52.000
 of ensuring

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:53.399
 that we use

00:28:53.399 --> 00:28:54.039
 the public

00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:54.960
 worship of God

00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:56.259
 that we use

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:56.539
 the

00:28:56.539 --> 00:28:57.279
 our own

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:58.240
 family worship

00:28:58.240 --> 00:28:59.200
 that we use

00:28:59.200 --> 00:28:59.579
 our own

00:28:59.579 --> 00:29:00.440
 private

00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:01.460
 personal worship

00:29:01.460 --> 00:29:02.680
 as the means

00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:03.240
 through which

00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:05.180
 we are feeding

00:29:05.180 --> 00:29:05.859
 our faith

00:29:05.859 --> 00:29:07.180
 and as a means

00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:07.539
 through which

00:29:07.539 --> 00:29:08.420
 we are ensuring

00:29:08.420 --> 00:29:09.680
 that we are not

00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:10.920
 starving our faith

00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:12.099
 but that it is

00:29:12.099 --> 00:29:13.120
 growing and

00:29:13.120 --> 00:29:14.460
 developing

00:29:14.460 --> 00:29:16.579
 there is

00:29:16.579 --> 00:29:17.400
 the presence of

00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:17.700
 faith

00:29:17.700 --> 00:29:18.680
 there is

00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:19.259
 the problem

00:29:19.259 --> 00:29:21.220
 and thirdly

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:21.660
 there is

00:29:21.660 --> 00:29:23.460
 the proclamation

00:29:23.460 --> 00:29:25.940
 and the proclamation

00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:26.779
 we have in

00:29:26.779 --> 00:29:27.640
 version number 7

00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:29.319
 why is that the case

00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:30.539
 what he has said

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:30.980
 before

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:31.819
 it is

00:29:31.819 --> 00:29:32.579
 for God

00:29:32.579 --> 00:29:33.279
 gave us

00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:33.900
 a spirit

00:29:33.900 --> 00:29:35.279
 not of fear

00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:36.640
 but of power

00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:37.240
 and love

00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:38.220
 and self

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:39.700
 control

00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:42.319
 God did not

00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:42.819
 give us

00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:43.980
 a spirit

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:44.960
 of fear

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:47.480
 in other words

00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:48.480
 the gift

00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:49.400
 is the spirit

00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:49.920
 of God

00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:51.279
 the gift

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:51.860
 is the spirit

00:29:51.860 --> 00:29:52.240
 of God

00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:53.079
 in our hearts

00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:54.439
 and

00:29:54.439 --> 00:29:55.519
 perhaps

00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:56.220
 it would be

00:29:56.220 --> 00:29:57.339
 fair to

00:29:57.339 --> 00:29:59.240
 translate

00:29:59.240 --> 00:29:59.899
 that word

00:29:59.899 --> 00:30:00.359
 or to write

00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:00.879
 that word

00:30:00.879 --> 00:30:02.819
 with a capital

00:30:02.819 --> 00:30:03.119
 S

00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:04.019
 to show

00:30:04.019 --> 00:30:05.019
 that at least

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:05.980
 what Paul

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:06.819
 has in mind

00:30:06.819 --> 00:30:07.419
 is the

00:30:07.419 --> 00:30:08.619
 spirit of God

00:30:08.619 --> 00:30:09.159
 which makes us

00:30:09.159 --> 00:30:10.179
 the children of God

00:30:10.179 --> 00:30:11.279
 which dwells

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:11.939
 in our hearts

00:30:11.939 --> 00:30:13.379
 and the same

00:30:13.379 --> 00:30:14.039
 Paul in Romans

00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:14.519
 chapter 8

00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:15.019
 speaks of

00:30:15.019 --> 00:30:15.839
 you haven't

00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:16.439
 received the

00:30:16.439 --> 00:30:17.740
 spirit of bondage

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:18.619
 again to fear

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:20.599
 and there is

00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:21.299
 the same idea

00:30:21.299 --> 00:30:21.639
 here

00:30:21.639 --> 00:30:22.319
 that

00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:23.700
 you have not

00:30:23.700 --> 00:30:24.159
 received

00:30:24.159 --> 00:30:25.799
 the spirit

00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:26.339
 of

00:30:26.339 --> 00:30:28.599
 fear

00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:30.419
 there is

00:30:30.419 --> 00:30:31.259
 the sense

00:30:31.259 --> 00:30:32.019
 that Timothy

00:30:32.019 --> 00:30:32.500
 was

00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:33.659
 timid

00:30:33.659 --> 00:30:35.159
 there is the

00:30:35.159 --> 00:30:36.000
 sense that he

00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:37.379
 perhaps was

00:30:37.379 --> 00:30:39.240
 a bit of a

00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:39.579
 coward

00:30:39.579 --> 00:30:40.059
 when he came

00:30:40.059 --> 00:30:40.639
 to faith

00:30:40.639 --> 00:30:42.460
 and there is

00:30:42.460 --> 00:30:42.879
 a sense

00:30:42.879 --> 00:30:44.039
 that Paul

00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:44.859
 recognized

00:30:44.859 --> 00:30:45.439
 that

00:30:45.439 --> 00:30:47.000
 there was

00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:47.599
 the danger

00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:48.379
 because of

00:30:48.380 --> 00:30:49.340
 what faith

00:30:49.340 --> 00:30:49.680
 was going

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:50.380
 to cost

00:30:50.380 --> 00:30:50.900
 Timothy

00:30:50.900 --> 00:30:51.980
 that he

00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:52.800
 was so

00:30:52.800 --> 00:30:53.400
 reserved

00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:54.300
 and that he

00:30:54.300 --> 00:30:54.940
 was the

00:30:54.940 --> 00:30:55.940
 person who

00:30:55.940 --> 00:30:57.860
 would take

00:30:57.860 --> 00:30:59.100
 a back seat

00:30:59.100 --> 00:30:59.580
 and take a

00:30:59.580 --> 00:31:00.320
 step back

00:31:00.320 --> 00:31:01.220
 instead of

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:02.280
 taking over

00:31:02.280 --> 00:31:03.800
 from Paul

00:31:03.800 --> 00:31:06.020
 a sense

00:31:06.020 --> 00:31:06.480
 of

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:07.920
 fear

00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:09.380
 and it

00:31:09.380 --> 00:31:09.840
 seems that

00:31:09.840 --> 00:31:10.160
 if we

00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:11.420
 want to

00:31:11.420 --> 00:31:13.620
 see a

00:31:13.620 --> 00:31:14.519
 line of

00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:15.180
 the journey

00:31:15.180 --> 00:31:16.440
 that Timothy

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:17.100
 was on

00:31:17.100 --> 00:31:18.400
 that there

00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:19.340
 is the

00:31:19.340 --> 00:31:19.840
 sense of

00:31:19.840 --> 00:31:20.440
 the fear

00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:20.880
 of God

00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:21.220
 where we

00:31:21.220 --> 00:31:21.580
 come to

00:31:21.580 --> 00:31:22.500
 trust in

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:22.920
 God

00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:24.620
 and the

00:31:24.620 --> 00:31:25.240
 other place

00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:26.019
 is the

00:31:26.019 --> 00:31:26.580
 sense of

00:31:26.580 --> 00:31:27.200
 living the

00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:27.800
 life of

00:31:27.800 --> 00:31:28.940
 faith in

00:31:28.940 --> 00:31:29.320
 the Lord

00:31:29.320 --> 00:31:29.620
 Jesus

00:31:29.620 --> 00:31:31.600
 and this

00:31:31.600 --> 00:31:32.060
 sense of

00:31:32.060 --> 00:31:32.400
 fearing

00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:32.840
 it's not

00:31:32.840 --> 00:31:33.600
 the sense

00:31:33.600 --> 00:31:34.100
 of terror

00:31:34.100 --> 00:31:34.940
 it's

00:31:34.940 --> 00:31:37.019
 the sense

00:31:37.019 --> 00:31:37.900
 of the

00:31:37.900 --> 00:31:38.259
 coward

00:31:38.259 --> 00:31:39.640
 who stops

00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:40.640
 halfway between

00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:41.100
 the two

00:31:41.100 --> 00:31:43.080
 the person

00:31:43.080 --> 00:31:43.380
 who is

00:31:43.380 --> 00:31:44.340
 persuaded

00:31:44.340 --> 00:31:45.620
 by the

00:31:45.620 --> 00:31:46.200
 spirit of

00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:46.520
 God

00:31:46.520 --> 00:31:46.900
 with their

00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:47.560
 trust in

00:31:47.560 --> 00:31:47.980
 the Lord

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:49.700
 and has

00:31:49.700 --> 00:31:50.300
 that faith

00:31:50.300 --> 00:31:50.640
 in their

00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:51.080
 hearts

00:31:51.080 --> 00:31:52.759
 a faith

00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:53.300
 that should

00:31:53.300 --> 00:31:53.780
 express

00:31:53.780 --> 00:31:54.220
 itself

00:31:54.220 --> 00:31:54.940
 and show

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:55.300
 itself

00:31:55.300 --> 00:31:56.020
 in our

00:31:56.020 --> 00:31:56.460
 public

00:31:56.460 --> 00:31:56.980
 lives

00:31:56.980 --> 00:32:00.640
 it stops

00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:01.800
 its

00:32:01.800 --> 00:32:02.440
 development

00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:04.720
 does not

00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:05.300
 take place

00:32:05.300 --> 00:32:05.840
 because

00:32:05.840 --> 00:32:06.800
 of the

00:32:06.800 --> 00:32:07.180
 fear

00:32:07.180 --> 00:32:07.640
 of the

00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:08.920
 coward

00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:10.259
 of the

00:32:10.259 --> 00:32:10.879
 heart

00:32:10.879 --> 00:32:11.259
 of

00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:12.259
 Timothy

00:32:12.259 --> 00:32:16.099
 and we

00:32:16.099 --> 00:32:16.740
 can be

00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:17.240
 like that

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:17.559
 when

00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:18.779
 faith

00:32:18.779 --> 00:32:19.660
 takes place

00:32:19.660 --> 00:32:19.920
 when

00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:20.859
 salvation

00:32:20.859 --> 00:32:21.640
 takes place

00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:22.539
 and faith

00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:23.200
 begins to

00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:23.619
 work in

00:32:23.619 --> 00:32:24.279
 our lives

00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:26.480
 we can

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:26.980
 have the

00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:27.960
 sense of

00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:29.099
 the private

00:32:29.099 --> 00:32:30.799
 relationship

00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:31.160
 with the

00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:31.660
 Lord Jesus

00:32:31.660 --> 00:32:32.819
 a sense

00:32:32.819 --> 00:32:33.220
 that I've

00:32:33.220 --> 00:32:33.700
 come from

00:32:33.700 --> 00:32:34.259
 where I

00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:34.440
 am

00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:35.019
 I'm not

00:32:35.019 --> 00:32:35.279
 what I

00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:35.579
 was

00:32:35.579 --> 00:32:36.119
 before

00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:37.199
 I

00:32:37.199 --> 00:32:37.879
 am a

00:32:37.879 --> 00:32:38.099
 new

00:32:38.099 --> 00:32:38.739
 creation

00:32:38.739 --> 00:32:39.199
 now in

00:32:39.199 --> 00:32:39.579
 Christ

00:32:39.579 --> 00:32:40.159
 and my

00:32:40.159 --> 00:32:40.819
 faith is

00:32:40.819 --> 00:32:41.079
 in the

00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:41.579
 Lord Jesus

00:32:41.579 --> 00:32:42.579
 and I

00:32:42.579 --> 00:32:43.139
 have that

00:32:43.139 --> 00:32:43.739
 in the

00:32:43.739 --> 00:32:44.339
 privacy of

00:32:44.339 --> 00:32:44.759
 my own

00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:45.259
 heart

00:32:45.259 --> 00:32:47.099
 and I

00:32:47.099 --> 00:32:47.559
 know that

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:48.459
 Jesus wants

00:32:48.459 --> 00:32:48.859
 me to

00:32:48.859 --> 00:32:49.779
 follow him

00:32:49.779 --> 00:32:50.099
 and to

00:32:50.099 --> 00:32:50.599
 serve him

00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:51.119
 and to

00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:51.719
 show my

00:32:51.719 --> 00:32:52.119
 faith

00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:54.439
 but there

00:32:54.439 --> 00:32:54.979
 is something

00:32:54.979 --> 00:32:55.559
 in here

00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:56.199
 that leaves

00:32:56.199 --> 00:32:56.519
 me

00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:57.199
 afraid

00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.519
 I might

00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:00.039
 be afraid

00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:01.299
 of those

00:33:01.299 --> 00:33:01.600
 in my

00:33:01.600 --> 00:33:02.000
 family

00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:03.200
 I might

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:03.519
 want to

00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:04.039
 hide my

00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:04.519
 faith from

00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:04.660
 them

00:33:04.660 --> 00:33:05.460
 because I

00:33:05.460 --> 00:33:05.740
 don't want

00:33:05.740 --> 00:33:06.039
 to show

00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:06.240
 it to

00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:06.539
 them

00:33:06.539 --> 00:33:08.759
 I might

00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:09.259
 be afraid

00:33:09.259 --> 00:33:09.860
 of those

00:33:09.860 --> 00:33:10.700
 who are

00:33:10.700 --> 00:33:11.120
 in school

00:33:11.120 --> 00:33:11.519
 with me

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:11.680
 who are

00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:12.259
 my friends

00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:12.840
 as I

00:33:12.840 --> 00:33:13.220
 grow up

00:33:13.220 --> 00:33:13.539
 in life

00:33:13.539 --> 00:33:14.220
 I might

00:33:14.220 --> 00:33:14.640
 want to

00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:15.279
 hide my

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:15.779
 faith from

00:33:15.779 --> 00:33:15.980
 them

00:33:15.980 --> 00:33:16.960
 because I

00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:17.440
 am afraid

00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:17.840
 of how

00:33:17.840 --> 00:33:18.120
 they will

00:33:18.120 --> 00:33:18.660
 respond

00:33:18.660 --> 00:33:19.019
 if I

00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:19.700
 show my

00:33:19.700 --> 00:33:20.080
 faith

00:33:20.080 --> 00:33:22.220
 at every

00:33:22.220 --> 00:33:23.019
 stage of

00:33:23.019 --> 00:33:23.420
 life

00:33:23.420 --> 00:33:24.440
 there are

00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:25.900
 things taking

00:33:25.900 --> 00:33:26.799
 place around

00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:27.779
 us that

00:33:27.779 --> 00:33:28.599
 want to

00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:28.980
 make us

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:29.839
 to hide

00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:30.079
 our

00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:30.460
 faith

00:33:30.460 --> 00:33:33.000
 instead of

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:33.480
 doing what

00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:34.180
 Paul did

00:33:34.180 --> 00:33:35.240
 and what

00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:35.839
 Jesus commanded

00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:36.419
 the disciples

00:33:36.419 --> 00:33:36.759
 to do

00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:37.799
 that is to

00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:38.680
 suffer for

00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:39.619
 his name's

00:33:39.619 --> 00:33:40.419
 sake

00:33:40.419 --> 00:33:43.000
 and if you

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:44.039
 are here

00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:44.980
 tonight and

00:33:44.980 --> 00:33:45.379
 you have

00:33:45.379 --> 00:33:46.720
 that faith

00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:47.099
 in your

00:33:47.099 --> 00:33:47.519
 heart

00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:48.819
 between

00:33:48.819 --> 00:33:49.399
 yourself

00:33:49.399 --> 00:33:49.799
 and the

00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:50.379
 Lord Jesus

00:33:50.379 --> 00:33:51.559
 and you

00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:51.980
 know it

00:33:51.980 --> 00:33:52.460
 is there

00:33:52.460 --> 00:33:54.419
 it is the

00:33:54.419 --> 00:33:55.259
 faith that

00:33:55.259 --> 00:33:55.899
 by its very

00:33:55.899 --> 00:33:56.279
 nature

00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:57.200
 needs to

00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:58.619
 shine out

00:33:58.619 --> 00:33:59.480
 in public

00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:01.460
 and

00:34:01.460 --> 00:34:03.059
 don't let

00:34:03.059 --> 00:34:03.980
 the fear

00:34:03.980 --> 00:34:04.559
 of anything

00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:05.579
 around you

00:34:05.579 --> 00:34:06.960
 trap you

00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:07.180
 in the

00:34:07.180 --> 00:34:07.799
 place where

00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:08.519
 you begin

00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:09.179
 to hide

00:34:09.179 --> 00:34:09.699
 the faith

00:34:09.699 --> 00:34:10.559
 and stop

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:11.000
 it from

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:11.639
 it being

00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:12.460
 developed

00:34:12.460 --> 00:34:15.019
 why should

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:15.360
 you not

00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:15.659
 fear

00:34:15.659 --> 00:34:17.840
 well Paul

00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:18.199
 gives the

00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:18.599
 answer

00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:19.860
 and the

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:20.460
 answer is

00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:21.159
 the spirit

00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:21.639
 that God

00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:22.340
 has given

00:34:22.340 --> 00:34:22.840
 is one

00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:23.980
 of power

00:34:23.980 --> 00:34:25.220
 and of

00:34:25.220 --> 00:34:25.600
 love

00:34:25.600 --> 00:34:27.960
 and of

00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:28.960
 self

00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:29.460
 control

00:34:29.460 --> 00:34:31.500
 that's what

00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:31.900
 God has

00:34:31.900 --> 00:34:32.140
 given

00:34:32.140 --> 00:34:33.120
 the spirit

00:34:33.120 --> 00:34:34.019
 of power

00:34:34.019 --> 00:34:35.440
 the spirit

00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:35.880
 of the

00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:36.700
 ability to

00:34:36.700 --> 00:34:37.200
 achieve

00:34:37.200 --> 00:34:37.620
 something

00:34:37.620 --> 00:34:38.680
 the spirit

00:34:38.680 --> 00:34:39.120
 of

00:34:39.120 --> 00:34:41.140
 courage

00:34:41.140 --> 00:34:43.120
 and the

00:34:43.120 --> 00:34:43.480
 spirit

00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:44.420
 of strength

00:34:44.420 --> 00:34:45.519
 the quality

00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:46.059
 that you

00:34:46.059 --> 00:34:46.500
 and I

00:34:46.500 --> 00:34:46.840
 need

00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:47.340
 in order

00:34:47.340 --> 00:34:48.340
 to live

00:34:48.340 --> 00:34:49.180
 out the

00:34:49.180 --> 00:34:49.579
 life

00:34:49.579 --> 00:34:50.220
 of faith

00:34:50.220 --> 00:34:55.180
 and perhaps

00:34:55.180 --> 00:34:55.519
 your

00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:56.460
 response is

00:34:56.460 --> 00:34:56.940
 as it

00:34:56.940 --> 00:34:57.480
 could be

00:34:57.480 --> 00:34:58.360
 anyone else's

00:34:58.360 --> 00:34:59.220
 perhaps your

00:34:59.220 --> 00:35:00.000
 response is

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.260
 that your

00:35:01.260 --> 00:35:02.360
 faith is too

00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:02.820
 weak

00:35:02.820 --> 00:35:04.100
 and you are

00:35:04.100 --> 00:35:04.559
 too weak

00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:04.980
 yourself

00:35:04.980 --> 00:35:05.680
 and you

00:35:05.680 --> 00:35:06.140
 cannot give

00:35:06.140 --> 00:35:06.960
 expression to

00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:08.120
 your faith

00:35:08.120 --> 00:35:08.720
 because of

00:35:08.720 --> 00:35:09.300
 your weakness

00:35:09.300 --> 00:35:10.880
 and the

00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:11.420
 same Paul

00:35:11.420 --> 00:35:11.780
 in 2

00:35:11.780 --> 00:35:12.180
 Corinthians

00:35:12.180 --> 00:35:12.680
 13

00:35:12.680 --> 00:35:13.800
 he speaks

00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:14.240
 about the

00:35:14.240 --> 00:35:14.519
 way in

00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:15.340
 which God

00:35:15.340 --> 00:35:15.840
 says to

00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:16.060
 him

00:35:16.060 --> 00:35:18.019
 my grace

00:35:18.019 --> 00:35:19.000
 is sufficient

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:19.500
 for you

00:35:19.500 --> 00:35:20.960
 my power

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:21.720
 is made

00:35:21.720 --> 00:35:22.380
 perfect

00:35:22.380 --> 00:35:23.120
 in your

00:35:23.120 --> 00:35:23.760
 weakness

00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:25.940
 what does

00:35:25.940 --> 00:35:26.320
 that mean

00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:26.720
 in simple

00:35:26.720 --> 00:35:27.060
 terms

00:35:27.060 --> 00:35:28.039
 it means

00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:29.640
 that

00:35:29.640 --> 00:35:30.820
 his weakness

00:35:30.820 --> 00:35:31.640
 was the

00:35:31.640 --> 00:35:32.140
 platform

00:35:32.140 --> 00:35:32.940
 for God's

00:35:32.940 --> 00:35:33.260
 power

00:35:33.260 --> 00:35:35.000
 in other

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:35.300
 words

00:35:35.300 --> 00:35:36.220
 the weakness

00:35:36.220 --> 00:35:36.700
 it's not

00:35:36.700 --> 00:35:37.500
 the excuse

00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:38.960
 not to show

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:39.579
 my faith

00:35:39.579 --> 00:35:41.139
 but the

00:35:41.139 --> 00:35:41.500
 weakness

00:35:41.500 --> 00:35:41.920
 is the

00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:42.280
 place

00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:43.000
 where God's

00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:43.320
 power

00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:43.800
 will enable

00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:44.079
 me

00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:45.139
 to give

00:35:45.139 --> 00:35:45.639
 expression

00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:46.019
 to the

00:35:46.019 --> 00:35:46.240
 faith

00:35:46.240 --> 00:35:46.539
 that I

00:35:46.539 --> 00:35:46.760
 think

00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:47.159
 I cannot

00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:47.420
 do

00:35:47.420 --> 00:35:47.960
 myself

00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:50.619
 so that

00:35:50.619 --> 00:35:51.079
 it is the

00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:51.500
 case this

00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:51.720
 evening

00:35:51.720 --> 00:35:52.539
 that the

00:35:52.539 --> 00:35:53.039
 more we

00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:53.659
 are persuaded

00:35:53.659 --> 00:35:54.079
 of our

00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:54.860
 own weakness

00:35:54.860 --> 00:35:56.360
 the more

00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:56.800
 we should

00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:57.400
 see the

00:35:57.400 --> 00:35:58.260
 power of

00:35:58.260 --> 00:35:58.760
 Christ

00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:00.039
 the power

00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:00.280
 of the

00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:00.800
 grace of

00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:01.159
 Christ

00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:02.460
 to enable

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:03.019
 us to

00:36:03.019 --> 00:36:03.539
 serve

00:36:03.539 --> 00:36:03.900
 him

00:36:03.900 --> 00:36:05.519
 you have

00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:06.019
 received

00:36:06.019 --> 00:36:06.800
 the spirit

00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:07.900
 of power

00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:10.160
 and the

00:36:10.160 --> 00:36:10.680
 power

00:36:10.680 --> 00:36:11.539
 certainly

00:36:11.539 --> 00:36:12.619
 is on

00:36:12.619 --> 00:36:13.400
 the platform

00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:14.420
 of weakness

00:36:14.420 --> 00:36:16.039
 it arises

00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:16.780
 out of

00:36:16.780 --> 00:36:17.039
 there

00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:18.460
 and I

00:36:18.460 --> 00:36:19.180
 sense the

00:36:19.180 --> 00:36:19.639
 power

00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:20.579
 as soon

00:36:20.579 --> 00:36:21.160
 as I

00:36:21.160 --> 00:36:22.039
 move from

00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:22.720
 the platform

00:36:22.720 --> 00:36:23.440
 of weakness

00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:24.599
 then the

00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:25.619
 power of

00:36:25.619 --> 00:36:25.920
 God

00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:26.340
 the power

00:36:26.340 --> 00:36:26.820
 of Christ

00:36:26.820 --> 00:36:27.800
 overtakes

00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:28.099
 me

00:36:28.099 --> 00:36:30.160
 the spirit

00:36:30.160 --> 00:36:30.660
 of power

00:36:30.660 --> 00:36:31.800
 the spirit

00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:34.619
 of love

00:36:34.619 --> 00:36:36.960
 what's at

00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:37.559
 the very

00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:38.079
 center

00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:39.519
 of the

00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:39.980
 gospel

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:41.699
 the

00:36:41.699 --> 00:36:42.519
 continuity

00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:44.139
 and the

00:36:44.139 --> 00:36:44.759
 connectivity

00:36:44.759 --> 00:36:45.319
 of

00:36:45.319 --> 00:36:46.679
 the love

00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:47.199
 of God

00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:48.619
 the God

00:36:48.619 --> 00:36:48.900
 who is

00:36:48.900 --> 00:36:49.199
 love

00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:50.059
 himself

00:36:50.059 --> 00:36:51.960
 the God

00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:52.380
 who shows

00:36:52.380 --> 00:36:52.699
 his love

00:36:52.699 --> 00:36:53.239
 by sending

00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:53.679
 his son

00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:54.519
 to be the

00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:55.219
 propitiation

00:36:55.219 --> 00:36:55.699
 for our

00:36:55.699 --> 00:36:56.039
 sins

00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:57.619
 the God

00:36:57.619 --> 00:36:57.920
 who by

00:36:57.920 --> 00:36:58.319
 his Holy

00:36:58.319 --> 00:36:58.679
 Spirit

00:36:58.679 --> 00:36:59.519
 pours his

00:36:59.519 --> 00:36:59.759
 love

00:36:59.759 --> 00:37:00.339
 into our

00:37:00.339 --> 00:37:00.799
 hearts

00:37:00.799 --> 00:37:03.159
 it's a

00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:03.619
 spirit of

00:37:03.619 --> 00:37:04.299
 that love

00:37:04.299 --> 00:37:05.359
 that sort

00:37:05.359 --> 00:37:05.659
 of my

00:37:05.659 --> 00:37:06.259
 faith is

00:37:06.259 --> 00:37:06.739
 continuous

00:37:06.739 --> 00:37:07.539
 with the

00:37:07.539 --> 00:37:07.960
 faith of

00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:08.500
 the people

00:37:08.500 --> 00:37:08.940
 of God

00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:09.639
 the love

00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:09.960
 that I

00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:10.199
 have in

00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:10.599
 my heart

00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:11.719
 is continuous

00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:12.599
 with the

00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:12.960
 love that

00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:13.380
 there is

00:37:13.380 --> 00:37:13.960
 in God's

00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:14.579
 own heart

00:37:14.579 --> 00:37:16.359
 and because

00:37:16.359 --> 00:37:17.239
 that's the

00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:17.699
 love that

00:37:17.699 --> 00:37:18.679
 dwells in

00:37:18.679 --> 00:37:19.099
 my heart

00:37:19.099 --> 00:37:20.739
 it's the

00:37:20.739 --> 00:37:21.219
 love that

00:37:21.219 --> 00:37:22.400
 persuades me

00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:23.440
 to walk

00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:24.000
 in the ways

00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:24.519
 of God

00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:25.199
 to do

00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:25.679
 the will

00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:26.179
 of God

00:37:26.179 --> 00:37:27.139
 to serve

00:37:27.139 --> 00:37:27.579
 God

00:37:27.579 --> 00:37:31.000
 because

00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:31.960
 we love

00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:32.799
 him because

00:37:32.799 --> 00:37:33.519
 he first

00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:35.340
 loved us

00:37:35.340 --> 00:37:37.420
 and

00:37:37.420 --> 00:37:38.380
 Paul

00:37:38.380 --> 00:37:39.239
 in writing

00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:39.500
 to the

00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:39.900
 Galatians

00:37:39.900 --> 00:37:40.599
 makes that

00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:41.400
 so clear

00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:43.719
 that

00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:44.619
 he is

00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:45.079
 crucified

00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:45.679
 with Christ

00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:46.159
 nevertheless

00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:46.980
 he lives

00:37:46.980 --> 00:37:48.420
 but

00:37:48.420 --> 00:37:49.480
 the life

00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:49.699
 that he

00:37:49.699 --> 00:37:50.239
 now lives

00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:50.599
 it's a

00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:51.000
 life of

00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:51.440
 faith

00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:52.440
 in Jesus

00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:52.920
 Christ

00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:54.119
 who loved

00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:54.599
 me and

00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:55.360
 gave himself

00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:56.179
 for me

00:37:56.179 --> 00:37:57.500
 it's a

00:37:57.500 --> 00:37:58.139
 spirit of

00:37:58.139 --> 00:37:58.519
 love

00:37:58.519 --> 00:37:59.639
 and

00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:01.280
 love for

00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:01.980
 the Lord

00:38:01.980 --> 00:38:02.500
 love for

00:38:02.500 --> 00:38:02.900
 the Lord

00:38:02.900 --> 00:38:03.420
 Jesus

00:38:03.420 --> 00:38:04.500
 trumps

00:38:04.500 --> 00:38:04.940
 everything

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:05.400
 else

00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:06.699
 it over

00:38:06.699 --> 00:38:07.099
 comes

00:38:07.099 --> 00:38:07.480
 everything

00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:07.980
 else

00:38:07.980 --> 00:38:09.260
 it over

00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:09.619
 comes

00:38:09.619 --> 00:38:10.219
 my fears

00:38:10.219 --> 00:38:10.860
 it over

00:38:10.860 --> 00:38:11.179
 comes

00:38:11.179 --> 00:38:11.440
 my

00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:11.900
 weaknesses

00:38:11.900 --> 00:38:13.599
 when I

00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:14.840
 have the

00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:15.360
 love of

00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:15.659
 God

00:38:15.659 --> 00:38:16.159
 poured out

00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:16.440
 to my

00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:16.699
 heart

00:38:16.699 --> 00:38:17.920
 then I

00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:18.099
 will

00:38:18.099 --> 00:38:18.679
 follow him

00:38:18.679 --> 00:38:19.039
 and I

00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:19.219
 will

00:38:19.219 --> 00:38:19.780
 serve him

00:38:19.780 --> 00:38:20.340
 that's

00:38:20.340 --> 00:38:20.840
 the spirit

00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:21.960
 that Paul

00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:22.320
 says

00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:22.699
 Timothy

00:38:22.699 --> 00:38:22.920
 has

00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:23.340
 received

00:38:23.340 --> 00:38:24.260
 and

00:38:24.260 --> 00:38:26.100
 the one

00:38:26.100 --> 00:38:26.360
 of

00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:27.440
 self

00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:28.019
 control

00:38:28.019 --> 00:38:30.519
 learning

00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:31.519
 about the

00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:31.900
 kind of

00:38:31.900 --> 00:38:32.200
 person

00:38:32.200 --> 00:38:32.519
 that I

00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:32.740
 am

00:38:32.740 --> 00:38:33.180
 from the

00:38:33.180 --> 00:38:33.440
 word

00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:33.940
 of God

00:38:33.940 --> 00:38:35.360
 learning

00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:35.880
 the kind

00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:36.019
 of

00:38:36.019 --> 00:38:36.340
 person

00:38:36.340 --> 00:38:36.640
 that

00:38:36.640 --> 00:38:37.260
 God

00:38:37.260 --> 00:38:37.680
 wants

00:38:37.680 --> 00:38:37.980
 his

00:38:37.980 --> 00:38:38.440
 people

00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:38.920
 to be

00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:40.260
 learning

00:38:40.260 --> 00:38:41.019
 the path

00:38:41.019 --> 00:38:41.400
 that God

00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:41.740
 wants

00:38:41.740 --> 00:38:42.360
 his

00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:42.660
 children

00:38:42.660 --> 00:38:43.260
 to follow

00:38:43.260 --> 00:38:44.840
 and being

00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:45.420
 able to

00:38:45.420 --> 00:38:46.340
 control

00:38:46.340 --> 00:38:46.840
 and to

00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:47.320
 discipline

00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:47.880
 myself

00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:48.539
 in the

00:38:48.539 --> 00:38:49.100
 light of

00:38:49.100 --> 00:38:49.600
 the word

00:38:49.600 --> 00:38:50.100
 of God

00:38:50.099 --> 00:38:50.719
 in my

00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:51.019
 love

00:38:51.019 --> 00:38:51.360
 for the

00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:51.559
 Lord

00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:51.900
 Jesus

00:38:51.900 --> 00:38:54.460
 so that

00:38:54.460 --> 00:38:55.599
 there is

00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:56.519
 no hesitation

00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:58.000
 so that

00:38:58.000 --> 00:38:58.319
 there is

00:38:58.319 --> 00:38:58.940
 service

00:38:58.940 --> 00:39:00.039
 even though

00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:00.420
 it means

00:39:00.420 --> 00:39:00.900
 suffering

00:39:00.900 --> 00:39:02.339
 there is

00:39:02.339 --> 00:39:02.900
 following

00:39:02.900 --> 00:39:03.679
 even though

00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:04.199
 it means

00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:04.699
 denying

00:39:04.699 --> 00:39:05.299
 myself

00:39:05.299 --> 00:39:06.559
 nothing

00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:07.659
 can stop

00:39:07.659 --> 00:39:07.980
 me or

00:39:07.980 --> 00:39:08.719
 hinder me

00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:09.920
 from

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:10.480
 following

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:10.880
 the Lord

00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:11.159
 Jesus

00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:11.860
 because

00:39:11.860 --> 00:39:13.019
 this is

00:39:13.019 --> 00:39:14.019
 the spirit

00:39:14.019 --> 00:39:15.000
 that God

00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:15.400
 has given

00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:15.960
 to us

00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:17.299
 and as we
