00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.540
 When we begin our worship, we're going to sing.

00:00:04.580 --> 00:00:07.620
 We're going to sing to God's praise in Psalm 61.

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.980
 This is in the Scottish Psalter, page 293.

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:18.219
 Psalm 61, page 293.

00:00:18.699 --> 00:00:21.580
 We're going to sing from verse 1 to verse 5.

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:23.199
 The tune is Belmont.

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.359
 O God, give ear unto my cry, and to my prayer attend.

00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:32.179
 From the utmost corner of the land, my cry to thee I'll send.

00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.979
 We'll sing from verse 1 to 5 to God's praise.

00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:36.640
 We stand to sing.

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:51.120
 O God, give ear unto my cry,

00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:58.119
 Unto my prayer attend.

00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:17.120
 From the utmost corner of the land, my cry to thee I'll send.

00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:29.120
 What time my heart is overwhelmed,

00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:48.120
 And in perplexity, to thou me lead unto the rock,

00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:55.120
 That higher is than I,

00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:08.120
 For thou hast for my refuge been,

00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:18.120
 A shelter by thy power,

00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:29.000
 And war depends against my foes,

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:38.000
 Thou hast been a strong tower,

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:49.240
 Within thy tabernacle I

00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:56.240
 Forever will abide,

00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.240
 Forever will abide,

00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:08.240
 And undercovers all thy wings,

00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:17.240
 With confidence he hide,

00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:29.240
 For thou hast for my body to the rest that I did make.

00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:30.240
 For thou hast given me the Aaron's name,

00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:36.240
 For thou hast given me the Aaron's name,

00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:37.240
 For thou hast given me the Aaron's name,

00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:56.939
 Thou hast given me the heritage of those thy name that fear.

00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:05.000
 Let's bow our heads in a word of prayer. Let us pray.

00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:13.140
 Our Father in heaven, as we come together to worship you this day,

00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.240
 we do thank you for these words that we've sung.

00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:22.879
 They remind us from the outset of our worship that as we come to offer praise and worship to you,

00:04:23.420 --> 00:04:28.500
 that you have given ear unto our cry, that you will attend to our prayer.

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:34.040
 And we thank you that as we come today to pray for so much that goes on around us,

00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.900
 that we know that you are God and that you are the one who is able to help.

00:04:39.379 --> 00:04:44.939
 And that from the youngest to the oldest here, no matter what experiences we may have just now,

00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:48.060
 you encourage us to come to you in prayer.

00:04:48.700 --> 00:04:50.720
 There is nothing insignificant to you.

00:04:50.780 --> 00:04:53.340
 There's nothing that's not important to you.

00:04:53.339 --> 00:04:57.279
 For we as your people are precious to you and important to you.

00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.799
 So you love to hear us as we come.

00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:06.060
 You love to hear our very prayers, not with any fancy words or anything like that,

00:05:06.579 --> 00:05:09.339
 but just to come offering the words that come to our lips.

00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.339
 And so we thank you, Lord, that you are with us,

00:05:12.859 --> 00:05:14.239
 that you are able to help,

00:05:14.799 --> 00:05:18.000
 that you are a God who is good to us in so many ways.

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.180
 You give us food and warmth on a daily basis.

00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.279
 You give us the friendships and families that we enjoy.

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.680
 You give us this time to come to worship you

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.220
 and a time to be with your people

00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:32.540
 and to join in with your people in worship.

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:34.879
 And we ask that in all that we do today,

00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.279
 in the church and also in the creche and the tweenies,

00:05:38.779 --> 00:05:40.139
 that you will be with us, Lord,

00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:42.720
 that we will hear what you have to say to us,

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.300
 that we will rejoice in your goodness, Lord,

00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:47.980
 that we will be thankful for all that you are

00:05:47.980 --> 00:05:49.699
 and all that you have done.

00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:51.680
 We know it's a holiday weekend,

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.480
 and we do pray for any who are away.

00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:56.199
 Remember them, Lord, and watch over them.

00:05:56.900 --> 00:06:00.199
 Remember the schools, Lord, at this time too of holiday,

00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:03.460
 and especially those who are with exams at this time.

00:06:03.580 --> 00:06:05.620
 Lord, we pray that you will bless them

00:06:05.620 --> 00:06:07.400
 and help them throughout these days

00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:09.220
 to know that you are with them,

00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:12.560
 that they can commit their exams to you in prayer as well.

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.740
 So we ask, Lord, that you will bless all our young people

00:06:15.740 --> 00:06:17.740
 and all our families and friends together.

00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.100
 Be with us throughout this day,

00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:22.639
 and as we go on in this week ahead, Lord,

00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.180
 may you watch over us and protect us.

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.240
 Pardon us for all our sin,

00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:31.060
 as we ask it all in Jesus' name and for his sake.

00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:31.939
 Amen.

00:06:34.939 --> 00:06:37.519
 It's good to see young folks out today.

00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:43.979
 A wee minute ago, I was asking everyone to stand to sing.

00:06:45.099 --> 00:06:48.819
 And did anybody think, oh, it's too dangerous to stand up?

00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.779
 Did anybody feel unsafe standing up?

00:06:52.339 --> 00:06:56.039
 I hope not, because we're able to stand here on the floor

00:06:56.039 --> 00:06:58.740
 that's firm, that's secure.

00:06:59.899 --> 00:07:02.500
 But there's other places we might think,

00:07:02.859 --> 00:07:05.939
 oh, it might be quite dangerous to stand up.

00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:09.000
 It might be quite hard to stand up there.

00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:11.939
 I'm sure in the schools in the coming weeks ahead,

00:07:12.019 --> 00:07:13.899
 as you come up to the summer holidays,

00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:15.240
 there'll be sports day.

00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.100
 You'll have sports day usually at some point,

00:07:18.139 --> 00:07:19.120
 and you'll run races.

00:07:19.500 --> 00:07:22.379
 And you run races, you're on a field or a track,

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.379
 and you feel safe enough to run that race.

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:28.800
 Well, this morning in our service,

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.759
 we're looking at one of Paul's letters in the New Testament.

00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.980
 He wrote to a church in Galatia.

00:07:35.659 --> 00:07:37.420
 And he wrote to the people there,

00:07:37.579 --> 00:07:42.159
 telling them about where it was safe and secure to stand.

00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.519
 But also he wrote to them about the dangers that there were,

00:07:45.579 --> 00:07:48.579
 and maybe standing in places where they're liable to fall.

00:07:49.579 --> 00:07:51.000
 And what he was meaning there was,

00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:53.099
 we're secure in one place,

00:07:53.599 --> 00:07:56.019
 and somewhere else is dangerous for us.

00:07:56.019 --> 00:08:01.240
 So can anybody think of anywhere that might be dangerous or difficult to stand?

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.419
 Say you were to run a race.

00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.740
 Could you run it on a bouncy castle?

00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:10.139
 Would that be safe?

00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:12.759
 Would you feel it's secure,

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.060
 especially if there's a few of you trying to run?

00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.659
 You start trying to run on a bouncy castle,

00:08:17.659 --> 00:08:18.519
 and what happens?

00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.039
 You fall over.

00:08:20.500 --> 00:08:22.680
 Everybody just crashes into each other.

00:08:23.599 --> 00:08:26.159
 What about if you are on the ferry,

00:08:26.919 --> 00:08:29.039
 and it's a very rough day,

00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.860
 and the ferry's going from side to side,

00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:35.600
 and you think it'd be safe to run there?

00:08:36.019 --> 00:08:38.480
 Oh, because you start getting thrown around as well.

00:08:38.539 --> 00:08:40.639
 You're liable to fall over.

00:08:41.579 --> 00:08:44.939
 There's other places, too, that it'll be difficult to run.

00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:49.820
 Imagine if your races at the sports day were over the Barber's Moor,

00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.780
 across the bogs there.

00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:53.400
 Would it be easy to run there?

00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:54.440
 No.

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.720
 You're liable to fall over.

00:08:57.280 --> 00:09:00.260
 Or if the ground's very icy or something like that,

00:09:00.300 --> 00:09:01.520
 or slippy with seaweed,

00:09:02.180 --> 00:09:03.260
 you're going to fall over.

00:09:03.340 --> 00:09:07.500
 So there's a number of places that we can think are dangerous for us,

00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:10.360
 that we can't run, we can't even stand,

00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:13.940
 because it's so wobbly or boggy or bouncy.

00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:16.060
 All of these kinds of things.

00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:18.920
 And that's what Paul is saying to the Galatians.

00:09:19.040 --> 00:09:23.800
 He's describing our lives as either trying to run away from God,

00:09:23.880 --> 00:09:26.200
 away from Jesus, apart from Him,

00:09:27.160 --> 00:09:28.380
 or to run with Him.

00:09:29.400 --> 00:09:33.080
 And one is being secure, being able to stand,

00:09:33.780 --> 00:09:36.480
 and one is just finding it so difficult to stand,

00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:39.460
 we keep falling over and crashing all the time.

00:09:39.900 --> 00:09:40.980
 So which is which?

00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:43.320
 Well, Paul says,

00:09:43.779 --> 00:09:45.200
 the only way to stand firm,

00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:47.039
 to stand secure,

00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:48.840
 is to trust in Jesus.

00:09:49.700 --> 00:09:52.060
 That's the only way to be secure,

00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:53.580
 and not to fall over.

00:09:54.139 --> 00:09:56.440
 Because when we try and do things by ourselves,

00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.700
 when we try and go our own way,

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.320
 when we run away from God,

00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.180
 all we're doing is either running into a bog,

00:10:03.259 --> 00:10:04.860
 or somewhere that's slippery,

00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.779
 or somewhere we're just going to fall over,

00:10:06.779 --> 00:10:09.039
 it's not going to end well.

00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.199
 So we want to be able to stand somewhere secure.

00:10:13.899 --> 00:10:16.899
 And the only place we can do that is with Jesus,

00:10:17.339 --> 00:10:20.699
 by putting our trust in Him.

00:10:21.339 --> 00:10:23.039
 Then we are secure.

00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.379
 And that's what we're going to be looking at

00:10:25.379 --> 00:10:28.139
 as we go through our service today.

00:10:28.259 --> 00:10:30.899
 We're going to be thinking about how we stand secure,

00:10:31.459 --> 00:10:33.699
 or if we're falling over.

00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:37.839
 So may God bless His Word to us throughout this day.

00:10:37.899 --> 00:10:40.980
 We're going to say the Lord's Prayer together now.

00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:42.360
 So we'll say the Lord's Prayer.

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:43.360
 Amen.

00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.600
 But we sing again to God's praise,

00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:16.440
 this time in Psalm 92a.

00:11:17.060 --> 00:11:20.899
 It's in the Sing Psalms version, page 122.

00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:25.220
 Psalm 92a.

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:26.960
 We're going to sing from verse 7

00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:28.700
 all the way down to the end of the psalm,

00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:30.720
 verse 15, not verse 11,

00:11:30.779 --> 00:11:32.000
 as it is on the notice sheet.

00:11:32.580 --> 00:11:35.100
 Psalm 92a, verse 7 to 15,

00:11:35.379 --> 00:11:36.800
 the tune is Tracathro.

00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.120
 Although the wicked spring like grass,

00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:41.720
 the foolish do not see.

00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.600
 That all who flourish in their sin

00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:46.340
 will die eternally.

00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.240
 But Lord, you are forevermore exalted very high.

00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.600
 All evildoers will be crushed.

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:54.759
 Your foes will surely die.

00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.660
 We'll sing from verse 7 to verse 15

00:11:57.660 --> 00:11:59.019
 to God's praise.

00:11:59.019 --> 00:11:59.080
 Amen.

00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:28.720
 Christ, if you will army from there,

00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:38.220
 In their sin will die eternally.

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:57.800
 But, Lord, you are forevermore exalted, very high.

00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:16.159
 All evildoers will be crushed, your foes will surely die.

00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:34.159
 You made me strong as any ox, with all anointed me.

00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:52.159
 I've seen my enemies' defeat, and I have heard them flee.

00:13:52.159 --> 00:14:11.159
 Like palms and cedars flourishing, the righteous all will be.

00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:29.159
 And planted in the eyes of God will grow upon me.

00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:40.159
 So in old age they still bear fruit.

00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:47.159
 They will stay fresh and strong.

00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:58.159
 They will proclaim the Lord is just.

00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:06.439
 Thy rock who does no wrong.

00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:06.640
 Amen.

00:15:12.540 --> 00:15:14.020
 Well, we turn together now.

00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.880
 We're going to read in Paul's letter to the Galatians.

00:15:17.680 --> 00:15:21.320
 We take up our reading in chapter 4 at verse 28.

00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.220
 And then we read on into chapter 5.

00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:31.200
 Down to verse 15.

00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.040
 So we're taking up our reading in chapter 4.

00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:42.020
 Paul here is using an example from the Old Testament as he's explaining to the church at Galatia.

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:47.900
 The difference there is through the grace that they have through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:15:48.520 --> 00:15:53.660
 And those who are trying to lead these people astray and to live a life that's all about the law.

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:57.660
 And having to keep the law in all its entirety.

00:15:57.659 --> 00:16:03.179
 And he's explaining the difference in this way of Abraham having two sons.

00:16:03.719 --> 00:16:06.879
 One through Sarah, who was his wife.

00:16:06.959 --> 00:16:10.500
 And one through Hagar, who was a slave for him.

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.899
 And the difference was that God had promised him a son through Sarah.

00:16:16.579 --> 00:16:20.000
 But Abraham took things into his own hands.

00:16:20.419 --> 00:16:22.139
 He felt God couldn't do it.

00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:23.639
 So he was going to do it himself.

00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.759
 And he had a son with Hagar.

00:16:27.899 --> 00:16:32.740
 But God showed that he was faithful and gave him a son with Sarah as well.

00:16:32.819 --> 00:16:36.919
 So there's this difference of being free and being slaves.

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:40.740
 This is the way Paul is describing it to the church at Galatia.

00:16:40.819 --> 00:16:41.139
 And he's saying,

00:16:41.379 --> 00:16:44.100
 One way, by trusting in God, you are free.

00:16:44.699 --> 00:16:48.220
 But by trying to do things yourself, you are slaves.

00:16:48.220 --> 00:16:55.300
 And so as we take up our reading at verse 28, that's the theme of which Paul is speaking of here.

00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:59.759
 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:08.879
 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit,

00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:11.000
 so also it is now.

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:13.339
 But what does the Scripture say?

00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:16.119
 Cast out the slave woman and her son.

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:20.720
 For the son of the slain woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.

00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:26.600
 So, brothers, we are not children of the slave, but of the free woman.

00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.539
 For freedom Christ has set us free.

00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:35.620
 Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.

00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:43.819
 Look, I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.

00:17:43.819 --> 00:17:51.439
 I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law.

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:57.919
 You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law.

00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:00.559
 You have fallen away from grace.

00:18:01.419 --> 00:18:07.759
 For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:17.420
 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.

00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:19.480
 You are running well.

00:18:20.019 --> 00:18:22.019
 Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:26.079
 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

00:18:26.859 --> 00:18:28.920
 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:34.119
 I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine,

00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:39.639
 and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is.

00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:46.059
 But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted?

00:18:46.779 --> 00:18:49.959
 In that case, the offense of the cross has been removed.

00:18:50.819 --> 00:18:54.559
 I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves.

00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:57.559
 For you were called to freedom, brothers.

00:18:58.199 --> 00:19:01.379
 Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh,

00:19:01.380 --> 00:19:04.060
 but through love serve one another.

00:19:04.840 --> 00:19:07.180
 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word.

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:10.280
 You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

00:19:11.120 --> 00:19:13.560
 But if you bite and devour one another,

00:19:14.140 --> 00:19:18.400
 watch out that you are not consumed by one another.

00:19:19.060 --> 00:19:19.760
 And so on.

00:19:19.820 --> 00:19:22.520
 And may God bless that reading from his word.

00:19:22.600 --> 00:19:25.160
 We'll again join our hearts together in prayer.

00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:34.019
 Our Father, in heaven, as we continue to praise your name,

00:19:34.120 --> 00:19:35.660
 we thank you for your word.

00:19:36.320 --> 00:19:38.840
 We thank you for the truth that it is.

00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:43.300
 And in a world that is so often being led astray,

00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:47.920
 down different paths, away from the solid ground of your truth,

00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:50.220
 we thank you that you call us,

00:19:50.800 --> 00:19:53.720
 you call your people to return to you,

00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:55.600
 to return to your word,

00:19:56.120 --> 00:20:01.920
 to return to the freedom that it offers through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:04.579
 For we see the world in which we live,

00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:09.039
 a people running free, as it were, in their own eyes,

00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:13.180
 and yet still in the bondage and slavery of sin.

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:18.160
 And perhaps many of us even here know that bondage even today,

00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.300
 where we are trying to appease you and to please you

00:20:22.300 --> 00:20:25.080
 through our own works and through our own ways.

00:20:25.779 --> 00:20:29.360
 But your word reminds us that there is nothing that we can do

00:20:29.360 --> 00:20:34.880
 that will bring us to know that freedom in and of ourselves.

00:20:35.740 --> 00:20:38.160
 But we thank you that all the provision that we need

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:42.460
 has been made for us by your giving of your Son,

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:44.440
 the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:49.100
 And we thank you that for freedom Christ has set us free,

00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:51.880
 and that this is where we are to stand firm.

00:20:52.360 --> 00:20:55.759
 We thank you that we have that rock that is secure,

00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.779
 that rock that is our refuge, that is our strength,

00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.759
 and for every circumstances and for every need of this world,

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:05.860
 that he is there for us.

00:21:05.859 --> 00:21:09.519
 He is there for us as we delight in different things.

00:21:10.199 --> 00:21:13.219
 He is there for us through all the difficulties of our life.

00:21:13.879 --> 00:21:15.979
 But we thank you that through faith in him,

00:21:16.419 --> 00:21:19.879
 we know one who stays closer than any brother,

00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:21.139
 as your word says.

00:21:21.459 --> 00:21:25.299
 We thank you that he is always with us and always for us.

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.339
 And so help us today and day after day

00:21:29.339 --> 00:21:33.019
 not to get swept away by the things of this world,

00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:36.960
 not to get led astray and to feel that there are things

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.779
 that we need to do to add to our salvation,

00:21:39.779 --> 00:21:43.099
 but that we would always have our eyes firmly fixed

00:21:43.099 --> 00:21:46.980
 on the one who has fulfilled all the law

00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:49.639
 and all the promises of your word,

00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:52.720
 the one who is your Son, Jesus Christ.

00:21:53.139 --> 00:21:54.759
 Help us to look to him,

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:58.639
 and in him to know the joy of salvation,

00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.099
 in him to know the freedom that he gives,

00:22:02.099 --> 00:22:04.099
 the forgiveness of our sins,

00:22:04.399 --> 00:22:06.959
 and the grace and the strength to go on.

00:22:07.619 --> 00:22:09.659
 So may you bless your word to us

00:22:09.659 --> 00:22:11.779
 and remember us as a people.

00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:14.459
 Remember us, Lord, as a congregation,

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.319
 as a community here.

00:22:16.819 --> 00:22:18.279
 We give you thanks, O Lord,

00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:20.939
 for all the good things that you give us.

00:22:21.259 --> 00:22:23.759
 We give you thanks for our fellowship in Christ.

00:22:24.419 --> 00:22:26.159
 We give you thanks for your word

00:22:26.159 --> 00:22:29.000
 and the freedom that we have to gather together.

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.559
 We thank you for every opportunity that is set before us

00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:34.920
 to be around your word.

00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:37.599
 And even as we think of this coming week,

00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.599
 in many ways it can seem a full and a busy week to us,

00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:44.319
 but help us to delight and rejoice

00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:46.700
 in being your servants,

00:22:46.859 --> 00:22:47.980
 in being your people,

00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:51.559
 in offering up our service and our praise to you,

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:52.779
 not just today,

00:22:52.900 --> 00:22:55.000
 but throughout all the days of the week.

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.900
 So that whatever we are doing,

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:59.500
 be it in church or at home,

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:01.960
 in the workplace, in school or college,

00:23:02.059 --> 00:23:02.920
 wherever we are,

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:05.200
 that we would do all as to the Lord

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:07.759
 and that we will delight in doing your will.

00:23:08.339 --> 00:23:11.259
 So bless all that is ahead of us in this week.

00:23:11.940 --> 00:23:15.019
 We think of the Zoom prayer meeting

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:16.619
 on Tuesday morning with Muriel.

00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:17.700
 We thank you for her,

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:18.859
 for her time at home

00:23:18.859 --> 00:23:21.000
 over these last number of months

00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:23.720
 and for her going away again to serve you there.

00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:26.480
 We pray your protection and your blessing on her

00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:28.000
 and all who are with her

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:29.420
 and all the work that she does

00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:31.819
 for your glory in that place.

00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:33.200
 We ask, O Lord,

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:34.839
 that you will bless and be with her

00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:36.220
 and that our prayers for her

00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:38.140
 will be heard day by day

00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:39.600
 and week by week.

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:40.940
 We thank you too

00:23:40.940 --> 00:23:43.620
 for the work of the Slavic Gospel Association,

00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:46.620
 again, an organization who does so much

00:23:46.620 --> 00:23:49.460
 in very difficult and different circumstances

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:50.779
 to what we have here.

00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:53.539
 but we thank you for their faithful ministry

00:23:53.539 --> 00:23:54.619
 over many years

00:23:54.619 --> 00:23:57.420
 and for all who serve them as an organization,

00:23:57.779 --> 00:23:59.599
 for all who will be speaking

00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:02.059
 throughout our communities in these coming days.

00:24:02.139 --> 00:24:04.460
 In our own meeting on Wednesday evening,

00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:06.099
 may we be encouraged in it

00:24:06.099 --> 00:24:08.480
 and may we be blessed by it.

00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:10.339
 We thank you too, Lord,

00:24:10.460 --> 00:24:12.579
 for opportunities to learn more

00:24:12.579 --> 00:24:15.379
 about your truth and about your gospel.

00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:18.480
 And we pray for the Prodigal Son course

00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:21.060
 starting on Tuesday evening.

00:24:21.340 --> 00:24:23.480
 We thank you for Roddy and Calla

00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:25.060
 and for all the work that they have done

00:24:25.060 --> 00:24:28.000
 over many years of leading these courses.

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:30.340
 And pray your hand to be upon them

00:24:30.340 --> 00:24:33.040
 and upon all who meet on these evenings together

00:24:33.040 --> 00:24:35.000
 that will be enriched by you

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:36.160
 and blessed by you.

00:24:36.540 --> 00:24:38.700
 Encourage us, if we have a desire, Lord,

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:39.380
 to go along.

00:24:40.040 --> 00:24:41.740
 Encourage us to pray for those

00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:44.120
 who we may ask to come along as well.

00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:47.039
 Maybe neighbors or friends or work colleagues.

00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:50.199
 People who we feel a great burden for, Lord.

00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:52.799
 So often we can be afraid to ask.

00:24:53.199 --> 00:24:55.099
 But give us, Lord, courage.

00:24:55.259 --> 00:24:57.359
 Give us a heart for them

00:24:57.359 --> 00:24:58.719
 just to invite them along

00:24:58.719 --> 00:25:00.339
 and to see your goodness

00:25:00.339 --> 00:25:03.679
 in all that is done for you in these things.

00:25:04.339 --> 00:25:07.559
 Remember our land as well at this time, Lord.

00:25:07.619 --> 00:25:10.399
 We do pray for your blessing on us.

00:25:10.479 --> 00:25:12.239
 We think of the coronation

00:25:12.239 --> 00:25:13.719
 to take place this week

00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:15.980
 and we pray for our king.

00:25:16.120 --> 00:25:18.299
 We pray, Lord, that you will bless him

00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:21.059
 and be with him and his family too.

00:25:21.620 --> 00:25:24.680
 Lord, we ask that they would be given your grace,

00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.779
 that they would be given your love

00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:30.200
 over them as a people,

00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:31.140
 that they would know it,

00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:33.940
 that you would melt their hearts to it,

00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:38.360
 that they would see the history of our land,

00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:41.000
 a nation that's been blessed by you,

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.979
 and that they would go forward, Lord,

00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.879
 seeking your goodness over us as a people,

00:25:46.419 --> 00:25:49.799
 that they would seek to rule according to your truth

00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:50.859
 and to your ways.

00:25:51.379 --> 00:25:53.579
 We pray that for our governments too.

00:25:53.579 --> 00:25:55.879
 when we have experienced so much

00:25:55.879 --> 00:25:57.559
 over these last number of years

00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:00.519
 and so much disarray in our land,

00:26:00.919 --> 00:26:02.319
 so much confusion,

00:26:02.899 --> 00:26:04.000
 so much hurt,

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:05.859
 so much pain and grief

00:26:05.859 --> 00:26:07.339
 in so many different ways.

00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.919
 We do pray, Lord,

00:26:08.980 --> 00:26:10.119
 that we will look to you,

00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:13.559
 that you will help us to turn once again towards you,

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:15.619
 that we will call upon your name,

00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:18.319
 that we would seek your goodness over us

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:19.179
 as a people.

00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:21.960
 We pray for our world as well, Lord,

00:26:22.019 --> 00:26:23.860
 and the many troubles around us.

00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:25.100
 We pray, Lord,

00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:26.100
 that you will bless

00:26:26.100 --> 00:26:29.440
 the word that goes out today

00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:30.840
 to all ends of the earth

00:26:30.840 --> 00:26:33.279
 in the prayers of your people.

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:35.019
 We again thank you

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:35.880
 that you are the one

00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:37.900
 who is able to hear

00:26:37.900 --> 00:26:40.960
 and to answer all of our prayers.

00:26:41.380 --> 00:26:42.740
 Continue to remember us then

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:44.519
 and all our families and our loved ones.

00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:47.519
 Again, we commit students to you at this time

00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:49.859
 who are sitting exams in school,

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:51.299
 in college, in university,

00:26:52.019 --> 00:26:54.740
 our own young people here in our congregation.

00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:56.160
 Lord, we pray for them

00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:57.799
 that you will encourage them

00:26:57.799 --> 00:26:58.680
 and strengthen them,

00:26:58.779 --> 00:27:01.339
 thankful for all that is done for them,

00:27:01.379 --> 00:27:03.180
 all the guidance that is given to them

00:27:03.180 --> 00:27:04.319
 and help towards them.

00:27:04.339 --> 00:27:05.119
 We pray, Lord,

00:27:05.579 --> 00:27:06.940
 that you will bless them and teachers

00:27:06.940 --> 00:27:08.720
 and all our schools around us.

00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:10.119
 Remember Scott

00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.379
 as he is sitting exams just now as well

00:27:12.379 --> 00:27:14.619
 and all the other students

00:27:14.619 --> 00:27:15.839
 in the seminary in Edinburgh.

00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.099
 Lord, we ask your strength towards them,

00:27:18.539 --> 00:27:19.819
 your blessing with them

00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:21.879
 and your peace over them.

00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:23.919
 So Lord, continue with us now.

00:27:24.059 --> 00:27:25.240
 Bless us, we pray,

00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:27.139
 and pardon all our sin

00:27:27.139 --> 00:27:29.699
 as we ask it all in Jesus' precious name.

00:27:30.179 --> 00:27:30.599
 Amen.

00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:30.759
 Amen.

00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:36.980
 We're going to sing again to God's praise.

00:27:37.099 --> 00:27:38.699
 This time Psalm 123

00:27:38.699 --> 00:27:41.019
 in the Scottish Psalter.

00:27:41.220 --> 00:27:45.299
 Psalm 123, page 417 of the psalm books.

00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.579
 We can sing the whole of this psalm,

00:27:49.220 --> 00:27:50.500
 the tune as martyrs.

00:27:51.139 --> 00:27:52.819
 O thou that dwellest in the heavens,

00:27:52.939 --> 00:27:54.519
 I lift mine eyes to thee.

00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.220
 Behold, a servant's eyes do look,

00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:59.539
 their master's hand to see.

00:27:59.619 --> 00:28:01.139
 We'll sing the whole of this psalm

00:28:01.139 --> 00:28:02.559
 to God's praise.

00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:17.139
 O thou that dwellest in the heavens,

00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:24.140
 I lift mine eyes to thee.

00:28:24.140 --> 00:28:34.060
 Behold, a servant's eyes do look,

00:28:34.060 --> 00:28:42.140
 their master's hand to see.

00:28:42.140 --> 00:28:49.320
 As handmaid's eyes,

00:28:49.520 --> 00:28:54.580
 her mistress's hand,

00:28:54.580 --> 00:29:02.120
 so do our eyes attend

00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:12.119
 upon the Lord our God until

00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:21.179
 to us he mercy send.

00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:32.600
 O Lord, be gracious to us,

00:29:32.600 --> 00:29:39.180
 and to us gracious be,

00:29:39.180 --> 00:29:49.180
 because replenished with contempt,

00:29:49.180 --> 00:29:58.180
 exceedingly are we.

00:29:58.180 --> 00:30:10.180
 Our soul is filled with scorn of those

00:30:10.180 --> 00:30:18.180
 that are there is a bite,

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:28.180
 and with the insolent contempt

00:30:28.180 --> 00:30:38.180
 of those that dwell in pride.

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:44.860
 We can turn back together

00:30:44.860 --> 00:30:47.580
 to our reading in Galatians chapter 5.

00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:48.920
 We're going to look at verse 1

00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:51.299
 to verse 6 in particular together.

00:30:54.460 --> 00:30:56.519
 As we were thinking about earlier,

00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:57.799
 the theme this morning is

00:30:57.799 --> 00:30:59.640
 standing and falling,

00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:01.220
 and we see that in these verses.

00:31:01.940 --> 00:31:03.420
 In verse 1, it says,

00:31:03.420 --> 00:31:05.240
 Stand firm, therefore,

00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:07.360
 and do not submit again

00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:08.919
 to the yoke of slavery.

00:31:09.539 --> 00:31:12.019
 Stand firm, Paul says there.

00:31:12.099 --> 00:31:14.719
 But then it says in verse 4,

00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:16.439
 You are severed from Christ,

00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:19.139
 you who would be justified by the law.

00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:22.779
 You have fallen away from grace.

00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:24.859
 So you have standing firm,

00:31:25.339 --> 00:31:27.219
 therefore, in faith,

00:31:27.939 --> 00:31:30.339
 or being severed from Christ,

00:31:30.919 --> 00:31:32.779
 seeking to be justified by the law,

00:31:33.399 --> 00:31:35.359
 falling from grace.

00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:36.299
 That's what we mentioned

00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:37.619
 to the children earlier on,

00:31:37.699 --> 00:31:38.439
 how there's places

00:31:38.439 --> 00:31:40.959
 where we are safe and firm

00:31:40.959 --> 00:31:42.199
 and secure to stand,

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:43.139
 and other places

00:31:43.139 --> 00:31:45.599
 where we will find it difficult to stand.

00:31:45.639 --> 00:31:47.539
 It's very hard to stand.

00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:49.359
 And eventually,

00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:50.859
 we are going to be in danger

00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:53.139
 of falling over in these places.

00:31:53.219 --> 00:31:54.159
 And that's what Paul

00:31:54.159 --> 00:31:57.039
 is making clear to us here.

00:31:57.299 --> 00:31:58.959
 There is a place of security

00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:02.519
 and a place of falling away.

00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:05.400
 So where are you today?

00:32:06.700 --> 00:32:07.900
 Where are you when it comes

00:32:07.900 --> 00:32:08.980
 to your security?

00:32:09.180 --> 00:32:10.880
 Are you standing in a place

00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:11.620
 that's firm,

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:13.680
 a place that's secure,

00:32:15.100 --> 00:32:16.720
 or in a place where you're liable

00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:18.100
 to fall away?

00:32:18.620 --> 00:32:20.079
 And especially, as it says here,

00:32:20.140 --> 00:32:22.799
 to fall away from grace.

00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.819
 When you look at Paul's letter

00:32:25.819 --> 00:32:26.879
 to the Galatians,

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:28.859
 it's like many of his letters,

00:32:29.019 --> 00:32:29.980
 it's divided up

00:32:29.980 --> 00:32:31.259
 into different sections.

00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:34.379
 And the first two chapters,

00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:36.960
 Paul is writing about

00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:38.019
 his own authority

00:32:38.019 --> 00:32:39.480
 and being able to proclaim

00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:40.680
 the gospel.

00:32:41.619 --> 00:32:43.700
 He has been to Galatia,

00:32:43.899 --> 00:32:45.720
 which we know as Turkey today,

00:32:45.879 --> 00:32:47.839
 and established many churches

00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:48.579
 there before.

00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:51.139
 And they have come to faith

00:32:51.139 --> 00:32:52.200
 in the Lord Jesus.

00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:53.559
 They've come to believe

00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:54.960
 and find security

00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:55.779
 in the Lord Jesus,

00:32:55.779 --> 00:32:59.140
 but now they are being led astray.

00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:00.960
 You just have to turn back

00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:01.819
 to chapter 3,

00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:03.140
 the very opening words

00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:04.420
 of chapter 3.

00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:04.759
 It says,

00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:06.299
 O foolish Galatians,

00:33:06.740 --> 00:33:08.460
 who has bewitched you?

00:33:08.539 --> 00:33:10.340
 Who has led you away

00:33:10.340 --> 00:33:11.299
 from the truth?

00:33:12.059 --> 00:33:14.440
 Who has added to this burden

00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:15.720
 that you are feeling already

00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:17.059
 and leading you away

00:33:17.059 --> 00:33:18.500
 from the grace that there is

00:33:18.500 --> 00:33:20.360
 in the Lord Jesus Christ?

00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.379
 So he's writing to them

00:33:22.379 --> 00:33:25.059
 in chapters 1 and 2,

00:33:25.159 --> 00:33:26.619
 outlining the authority

00:33:26.619 --> 00:33:28.779
 that he has as a servant

00:33:28.779 --> 00:33:29.779
 of the Lord Jesus,

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:31.919
 and especially that he is there

00:33:31.919 --> 00:33:35.259
 to proclaim salvation in Christ.

00:33:35.399 --> 00:33:37.639
 Then in chapter 3 and 4,

00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.339
 he kind of outlines the problem,

00:33:40.459 --> 00:33:41.599
 but in a way giving them

00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:42.740
 a lesson,

00:33:42.939 --> 00:33:45.079
 teaching much of it

00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:46.099
 from the Old Testament

00:33:46.099 --> 00:33:48.000
 to see how they have been

00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:48.779
 led astray,

00:33:48.959 --> 00:33:50.679
 how they have begun

00:33:50.679 --> 00:33:51.500
 to fall away

00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:53.179
 by looking to a teaching

00:33:53.179 --> 00:33:55.059
 that is not about faith in Christ,

00:33:55.139 --> 00:33:56.259
 but that is more about

00:33:56.259 --> 00:33:58.819
 a false gospel of salvation

00:33:58.819 --> 00:34:00.419
 by works.

00:34:01.439 --> 00:34:03.099
 So that's what he has then

00:34:03.099 --> 00:34:06.179
 in chapter 3 and chapter 4.

00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:07.959
 Then in chapter 5 and 6,

00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:09.099
 as he often does,

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:11.380
 he applies it to their lives.

00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:13.340
 He teaches them now

00:34:13.340 --> 00:34:16.340
 how this is going to affect

00:34:16.340 --> 00:34:17.860
 their day-to-day lives

00:34:17.860 --> 00:34:19.360
 and their future,

00:34:20.019 --> 00:34:21.240
 and maybe more importantly,

00:34:21.860 --> 00:34:22.820
 their eternity,

00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:24.900
 their eternal salvation.

00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:26.700
 So he's preaching

00:34:26.700 --> 00:34:27.800
 with authority,

00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:29.160
 he's preaching truth,

00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:30.579
 and he's applying it

00:34:30.579 --> 00:34:31.900
 to their lives.

00:34:31.940 --> 00:34:32.539
 And he begins

00:34:32.539 --> 00:34:33.380
 with this wonderful statement

00:34:33.940 --> 00:34:34.740
 as it comes

00:34:34.740 --> 00:34:36.559
 to applying it to their lives

00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:37.480
 as to what they have

00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.300
 in Christ in verse 1.

00:34:39.300 --> 00:34:43.140
 For freedom, Christ has set us free.

00:34:43.260 --> 00:34:46.780
 For freedom, Christ has set us free.

00:34:47.260 --> 00:34:48.800
 But what does this mean?

00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:51.380
 God wants us to be free,

00:34:51.780 --> 00:34:54.019
 and in Christ we can be free,

00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:57.100
 but what is this freedom?

00:34:57.200 --> 00:35:00.340
 What does freedom mean to you today?

00:35:01.240 --> 00:35:02.420
 To many people,

00:35:02.620 --> 00:35:03.620
 freedom can mean

00:35:03.620 --> 00:35:05.360
 a number of different things.

00:35:05.460 --> 00:35:07.900
 It can be to be free from debt.

00:35:07.900 --> 00:35:11.599
 It can be to be free from illness.

00:35:12.340 --> 00:35:15.220
 Freedom has come into our day-to-day lives,

00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:16.480
 and we talk so often

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:18.559
 about freedom of speech,

00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.200
 or freedom from what society

00:35:22.200 --> 00:35:24.059
 throws our way.

00:35:25.059 --> 00:35:26.400
 People want to be free

00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:29.079
 from all kinds of authority.

00:35:29.860 --> 00:35:31.880
 You see people displaying signs

00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:33.099
 in America saying,

00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:34.539
 not my president.

00:35:35.240 --> 00:35:36.880
 You see, in their own nation already,

00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:38.640
 even before the coronation,

00:35:38.780 --> 00:35:39.760
 people are putting up signs,

00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:41.019
 not my king.

00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:43.579
 But what we are seeing

00:35:43.579 --> 00:35:45.240
 when it comes to truth

00:35:45.240 --> 00:35:47.059
 and the word of God

00:35:47.059 --> 00:35:48.460
 is another sign that says,

00:35:48.579 --> 00:35:49.579
 not my king,

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:51.039
 but it's a very different king.

00:35:51.099 --> 00:35:52.320
 We're not going to have Jesus

00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:54.860
 as king over me.

00:35:55.539 --> 00:35:56.300
 So they're looking,

00:35:56.860 --> 00:35:57.480
 many people,

00:35:57.559 --> 00:35:58.360
 for freedom

00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:00.820
 in all kinds of ways.

00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:02.240
 But at the heart of freedom,

00:36:02.619 --> 00:36:04.539
 as we so often think about it,

00:36:04.539 --> 00:36:06.360
 there's a desire

00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:08.920
 just to do our own thing,

00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:11.980
 to do whatever we want,

00:36:12.279 --> 00:36:14.300
 whatever we feel is right.

00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:15.380
 We want to be free

00:36:15.380 --> 00:36:18.159
 to do whatever we want.

00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:22.279
 But is that through freedom?

00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:26.060
 We don't want any man

00:36:26.060 --> 00:36:26.840
 or any religion

00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:28.700
 to tell us what we should

00:36:28.700 --> 00:36:30.600
 or shouldn't do.

00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:32.980
 Well, often in the Bible,

00:36:33.420 --> 00:36:34.540
 you see it saying,

00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:35.620
 there's nothing new

00:36:35.620 --> 00:36:36.660
 in the world.

00:36:37.780 --> 00:36:38.900
 And in the Bible,

00:36:39.040 --> 00:36:40.260
 we see again and again

00:36:40.260 --> 00:36:41.560
 people wanting

00:36:41.560 --> 00:36:42.940
 this kind of freedom.

00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:43.760
 Freedom

00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:44.860
 just to do

00:36:44.860 --> 00:36:45.940
 as they please.

00:36:46.720 --> 00:36:47.920
 And from time to time,

00:36:48.180 --> 00:36:49.440
 you see the Lord

00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:50.780
 leaving the people

00:36:50.780 --> 00:36:52.780
 to do what was right

00:36:52.780 --> 00:36:54.200
 in their own eyes,

00:36:54.260 --> 00:36:54.900
 to give them

00:36:54.900 --> 00:36:56.100
 this freedom

00:36:56.100 --> 00:36:58.240
 that they are asking for.

00:36:59.380 --> 00:37:00.800
 But what does it lead to?

00:37:01.420 --> 00:37:03.519
 It leads to disaster.

00:37:04.540 --> 00:37:05.860
 They want to be free,

00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:07.300
 but in this freedom

00:37:07.300 --> 00:37:08.120
 that they desire,

00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:09.780
 there is no freedom

00:37:09.780 --> 00:37:11.000
 at all.

00:37:12.040 --> 00:37:12.380
 Instead,

00:37:12.600 --> 00:37:13.480
 we are bound

00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:14.780
 and in bondage

00:37:14.780 --> 00:37:15.380
 and slavery

00:37:15.380 --> 00:37:17.640
 in so many different ways.

00:37:18.500 --> 00:37:19.080
 And ultimately,

00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:20.759
 as we see here

00:37:20.759 --> 00:37:21.599
 when it speaks of

00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:23.440
 falling away from grace,

00:37:23.500 --> 00:37:24.779
 it's about falling away

00:37:24.779 --> 00:37:25.900
 from the freedom

00:37:25.900 --> 00:37:26.779
 and the salvation

00:37:26.779 --> 00:37:28.400
 that is on offer

00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:29.759
 in Christ.

00:37:30.900 --> 00:37:31.799
 And so the question

00:37:31.799 --> 00:37:33.299
 for ourselves is,

00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:35.019
 are we free

00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:36.539
 in Christ?

00:37:37.579 --> 00:37:38.400
 Are you free

00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:39.239
 in this sense

00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:40.380
 not just to do

00:37:40.380 --> 00:37:41.340
 your own thing,

00:37:42.179 --> 00:37:43.079
 but to be free

00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:44.679
 in Christ,

00:37:44.739 --> 00:37:45.759
 which is to live

00:37:45.759 --> 00:37:47.159
 for Him?

00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:49.399
 And there's three ways

00:37:49.399 --> 00:37:50.379
 I want to look at this

00:37:50.379 --> 00:37:51.179
 together today.

00:37:51.259 --> 00:37:51.739
 I want to see,

00:37:51.940 --> 00:37:52.639
 first of all,

00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:53.619
 what it is

00:37:53.619 --> 00:37:55.699
 standing in Christ.

00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:57.199
 Then we see

00:37:57.199 --> 00:37:58.980
 falling from Christ

00:37:58.980 --> 00:38:00.599
 and then looking

00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:01.819
 to Christ.

00:38:01.940 --> 00:38:02.279
 So there's

00:38:02.279 --> 00:38:03.420
 standing in Christ,

00:38:03.579 --> 00:38:05.239
 falling from Christ,

00:38:05.739 --> 00:38:06.339
 and looking

00:38:06.339 --> 00:38:08.019
 to Christ.

00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:09.319
 The first thing

00:38:09.319 --> 00:38:10.299
 we see here

00:38:10.299 --> 00:38:11.420
 is standing

00:38:11.420 --> 00:38:13.039
 in Christ.

00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:14.519
 when Paul says

00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:15.480
 that it's for freedom

00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:16.159
 that Christ

00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:17.179
 has set us free,

00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:18.239
 we immediately

00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:19.239
 begin to think,

00:38:19.380 --> 00:38:19.539
 well,

00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:21.420
 if He is setting

00:38:21.420 --> 00:38:22.119
 us free,

00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:24.159
 what is it from?

00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:25.840
 Or where is it from?

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:26.519
 Where are we being

00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:27.440
 set free?

00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:28.159
 Or what are we being

00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:30.279
 set free from?

00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:31.940
 And you realize

00:38:31.940 --> 00:38:33.380
 it's not a freedom

00:38:33.380 --> 00:38:35.039
 of our own choosing.

00:38:36.500 --> 00:38:37.980
 It is for freedom

00:38:37.980 --> 00:38:39.340
 Christ

00:38:39.340 --> 00:38:40.960
 has set us free.

00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:42.500
 It was something

00:38:42.500 --> 00:38:44.000
 we couldn't do

00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:45.019
 ourselves.

00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:46.860
 It was something

00:38:46.860 --> 00:38:48.139
 we couldn't change

00:38:48.139 --> 00:38:49.059
 ourselves.

00:38:49.699 --> 00:38:50.900
 But what was it?

00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:52.460
 For freedom

00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:53.559
 Christ

00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:55.480
 has set us free.

00:38:56.220 --> 00:38:57.079
 What it's saying

00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:57.720
 here is

00:38:57.720 --> 00:38:59.199
 that we were slaves.

00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:01.639
 We were the ones

00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:03.159
 who were slaves.

00:39:04.300 --> 00:39:05.000
 But Jesus

00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:05.740
 came

00:39:05.740 --> 00:39:07.360
 to set us free.

00:39:08.300 --> 00:39:08.820
 What do you think

00:39:08.820 --> 00:39:09.400
 to yourself,

00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:10.780
 but how

00:39:10.780 --> 00:39:12.420
 am I a slave?

00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:13.540
 I don't feel

00:39:13.540 --> 00:39:14.700
 like I'm a slave.

00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:15.600
 I don't feel

00:39:15.600 --> 00:39:16.760
 I'm imprisoned.

00:39:16.940 --> 00:39:17.440
 I feel

00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:18.660
 I am free

00:39:18.660 --> 00:39:19.420
 to do

00:39:19.420 --> 00:39:20.660
 what I want.

00:39:21.560 --> 00:39:22.560
 But if you read

00:39:22.560 --> 00:39:23.040
 through

00:39:23.040 --> 00:39:24.300
 the Gospels,

00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:24.800
 if you read

00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:25.560
 through the Word

00:39:25.560 --> 00:39:26.160
 of God,

00:39:26.780 --> 00:39:27.580
 we realize

00:39:27.580 --> 00:39:28.780
 that we are blind

00:39:28.780 --> 00:39:29.560
 to what we are

00:39:29.560 --> 00:39:30.220
 slaves to

00:39:30.220 --> 00:39:30.620
 until

00:39:30.620 --> 00:39:31.740
 we know

00:39:31.740 --> 00:39:32.360
 the grace

00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:33.080
 and the love

00:39:33.080 --> 00:39:33.800
 of Christ.

00:39:35.680 --> 00:39:36.220
 And there are

00:39:36.220 --> 00:39:36.960
 many ways

00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:37.540
 we can look

00:39:37.540 --> 00:39:38.100
 to see

00:39:38.100 --> 00:39:38.800
 that we are

00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:40.220
 actually slaves.

00:39:40.219 --> 00:39:40.639
 we are

00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:41.859
 bound,

00:39:41.959 --> 00:39:42.259
 as it were,

00:39:42.319 --> 00:39:43.219
 we are in chains

00:39:43.219 --> 00:39:44.159
 to many things

00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:44.779
 in this world

00:39:44.779 --> 00:39:45.799
 without even

00:39:45.799 --> 00:39:47.039
 realizing it.

00:39:48.299 --> 00:39:48.879
 There are three

00:39:48.879 --> 00:39:49.899
 things I could say

00:39:49.899 --> 00:39:50.959
 that we are slaves

00:39:50.959 --> 00:39:51.519
 to.

00:39:52.319 --> 00:39:53.659
 We are slaves

00:39:53.659 --> 00:39:54.779
 to sin.

00:39:55.899 --> 00:39:56.739
 We are all

00:39:56.739 --> 00:39:58.459
 born in sin

00:39:58.459 --> 00:39:59.639
 and we suffer

00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:00.459
 the consequence

00:40:00.459 --> 00:40:01.599
 of sin

00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:02.859
 in this world.

00:40:02.919 --> 00:40:03.459
 We are under

00:40:03.459 --> 00:40:05.059
 the condemnation

00:40:05.059 --> 00:40:06.500
 of sin

00:40:06.500 --> 00:40:07.519
 in this world.

00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:08.940
 but we don't

00:40:08.940 --> 00:40:09.739
 realize it

00:40:09.739 --> 00:40:10.340
 so often.

00:40:10.900 --> 00:40:11.639
 We don't

00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:12.659
 see ourselves

00:40:12.659 --> 00:40:13.840
 in a bad

00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:14.239
 sense

00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:14.699
 as bad

00:40:14.699 --> 00:40:15.300
 people.

00:40:16.019 --> 00:40:16.840
 We feel

00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:17.300
 that we are

00:40:17.300 --> 00:40:18.099
 maybe good

00:40:18.099 --> 00:40:18.420
 people

00:40:18.420 --> 00:40:18.679
 and we are

00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:19.320
 trying to

00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:20.139
 do the

00:40:20.139 --> 00:40:20.739
 right thing

00:40:20.739 --> 00:40:21.199
 but we are

00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:21.639
 actually

00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:22.780
 slaves

00:40:22.780 --> 00:40:23.940
 to sin.

00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:25.360
 And so

00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:26.079
 Jesus had

00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:26.679
 to come

00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:27.840
 to set us

00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:28.179
 free

00:40:28.179 --> 00:40:28.739
 in that

00:40:28.739 --> 00:40:29.400
 sense.

00:40:30.340 --> 00:40:30.940
 But you see,

00:40:31.019 --> 00:40:31.860
 I don't feel

00:40:31.860 --> 00:40:32.559
 a sinner

00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:32.920
 maybe.

00:40:33.539 --> 00:40:34.119
 I don't

00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:34.659
 feel a

00:40:34.659 --> 00:40:35.199
 great weight

00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:36.360
 of sin

00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:37.639
 in my life.

00:40:38.420 --> 00:40:38.599
 Well,

00:40:38.619 --> 00:40:38.860
 there was a

00:40:38.860 --> 00:40:40.000
 young man,

00:40:40.059 --> 00:40:40.299
 a young

00:40:40.299 --> 00:40:41.159
 teenage man

00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:42.159
 who had

00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:42.679
 been listening

00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:43.440
 to a preacher

00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:44.679
 preach about

00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:45.460
 sin and the

00:40:45.460 --> 00:40:46.559
 great burden

00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:47.739
 that sin

00:40:47.739 --> 00:40:48.340
 is.

00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:50.299
 But the

00:40:50.299 --> 00:40:50.619
 youth,

00:40:50.860 --> 00:40:51.480
 the teenage

00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:51.779
 boy,

00:40:51.860 --> 00:40:52.259
 was very

00:40:52.259 --> 00:40:53.460
 dismissive

00:40:53.460 --> 00:40:53.960
 about it

00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:54.299
 all.

00:40:55.380 --> 00:40:55.920
 And after

00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:56.539
 the ceremony,

00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:57.039
 he went to

00:40:57.039 --> 00:40:57.519
 the preacher

00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:58.139
 and said,

00:40:58.480 --> 00:40:59.559
 you speak

00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:00.900
 about unsaved

00:41:00.900 --> 00:41:02.000
 people carrying

00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:03.059
 about a

00:41:03.059 --> 00:41:03.480
 weight of

00:41:03.480 --> 00:41:03.679
 sin.

00:41:03.739 --> 00:41:03.900
 But he

00:41:03.900 --> 00:41:04.039
 said,

00:41:04.099 --> 00:41:04.519
 I feel

00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:04.900
 nothing.

00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:06.860
 So how

00:41:06.860 --> 00:41:08.280
 heavy is

00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:08.679
 sin?

00:41:09.539 --> 00:41:10.119
 Is it

00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:10.920
 10 kilos?

00:41:11.099 --> 00:41:11.380
 Is it

00:41:11.380 --> 00:41:12.239
 80 kilos?

00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:14.179
 How heavy

00:41:14.179 --> 00:41:14.820
 is sin?

00:41:14.860 --> 00:41:15.139
 Because I

00:41:15.139 --> 00:41:15.780
 don't feel

00:41:15.780 --> 00:41:16.880
 this burden.

00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:18.179
 Well,

00:41:18.199 --> 00:41:18.780
 the preacher

00:41:18.780 --> 00:41:20.360
 replied to

00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:20.880
 this teenage

00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:21.340
 boy and he

00:41:21.340 --> 00:41:21.539
 said,

00:41:21.619 --> 00:41:21.800
 well,

00:41:21.940 --> 00:41:22.599
 look at it

00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:23.199
 this way.

00:41:24.260 --> 00:41:25.059
 If I was

00:41:25.059 --> 00:41:25.860
 to say to

00:41:25.860 --> 00:41:26.480
 you that I

00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:26.760
 was going

00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:27.460
 to lay a

00:41:27.460 --> 00:41:27.880
 weight of

00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:29.300
 400 kilos

00:41:29.300 --> 00:41:30.380
 on top of

00:41:30.380 --> 00:41:31.059
 a corpse,

00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:31.760
 someone who's

00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:32.160
 dead,

00:41:33.040 --> 00:41:34.400
 would they

00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:35.580
 feel that

00:41:35.580 --> 00:41:36.200
 weight on

00:41:36.200 --> 00:41:36.420
 them?

00:41:37.620 --> 00:41:38.240
 The teenager

00:41:38.240 --> 00:41:38.600
 replied,

00:41:38.660 --> 00:41:39.080
 of course

00:41:39.080 --> 00:41:39.480
 not.

00:41:40.340 --> 00:41:41.320
 That person's

00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:41.440
 dead.

00:41:41.500 --> 00:41:41.740
 They're not

00:41:41.740 --> 00:41:42.060
 going to

00:41:42.060 --> 00:41:43.180
 feel that

00:41:43.180 --> 00:41:43.600
 weight.

00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:45.000
 And the

00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:45.480
 preacher said,

00:41:45.560 --> 00:41:46.140
 exactly.

00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:47.520
 And that's

00:41:47.520 --> 00:41:48.220
 how you are

00:41:48.220 --> 00:41:48.560
 and everyone

00:41:48.560 --> 00:41:49.060
 else who

00:41:49.060 --> 00:41:50.040
 feels that

00:41:50.040 --> 00:41:50.520
 there's no

00:41:50.520 --> 00:41:51.080
 weight of

00:41:51.080 --> 00:41:51.680
 sin on

00:41:51.680 --> 00:41:51.820
 them.

00:41:52.100 --> 00:41:52.540
 You are

00:41:52.540 --> 00:41:53.480
 dead in

00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:53.920
 the sense

00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:54.200
 that you

00:41:54.200 --> 00:41:55.080
 cannot feel

00:41:55.080 --> 00:41:56.160
 that weight.

00:41:56.600 --> 00:41:57.180
 You think

00:41:57.180 --> 00:41:57.660
 there's no

00:41:57.660 --> 00:41:58.140
 weight of

00:41:58.140 --> 00:41:58.840
 sin on you

00:41:58.840 --> 00:41:59.520
 when there

00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:01.219
 actually is.

00:42:02.300 --> 00:42:02.960
 But you

00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:03.480
 need to

00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:04.960
 realize that

00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:05.539
 this is a

00:42:05.539 --> 00:42:06.699
 dangerous place

00:42:06.699 --> 00:42:07.619
 to be.

00:42:07.699 --> 00:42:07.920
 If you

00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:09.079
 feel no

00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:09.679
 load of

00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:10.119
 sin,

00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:11.500
 if you

00:42:11.500 --> 00:42:12.940
 feel indifferent

00:42:12.940 --> 00:42:13.619
 to the

00:42:13.619 --> 00:42:14.239
 whole idea

00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:15.019
 of sin or

00:42:15.019 --> 00:42:15.340
 to the

00:42:15.340 --> 00:42:15.940
 burden that

00:42:15.940 --> 00:42:16.599
 it is,

00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:18.019
 then you

00:42:18.019 --> 00:42:19.179
 too are

00:42:19.179 --> 00:42:19.579
 dead.

00:42:21.179 --> 00:42:21.759
 And that's

00:42:21.759 --> 00:42:22.340
 the danger

00:42:22.340 --> 00:42:23.219
 that we are

00:42:23.219 --> 00:42:23.840
 all into.

00:42:23.980 --> 00:42:24.500
 We feel

00:42:24.500 --> 00:42:25.500
 maybe we're

00:42:25.500 --> 00:42:26.259
 not slaves,

00:42:26.340 --> 00:42:26.599
 we're not

00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:27.259
 bound in

00:42:27.260 --> 00:42:27.680
 this way,

00:42:27.700 --> 00:42:27.920
 but we

00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:28.320
 are all

00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:29.800
 slaves to

00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:30.240
 sin.

00:42:31.180 --> 00:42:31.580
 And so

00:42:31.580 --> 00:42:32.240
 Jesus had

00:42:32.240 --> 00:42:32.820
 to come

00:42:32.820 --> 00:42:33.800
 to set

00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:34.460
 us free

00:42:34.460 --> 00:42:35.400
 from that.

00:42:36.500 --> 00:42:36.840
 We could

00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:37.440
 say of the

00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:38.640
 cross as

00:42:38.640 --> 00:42:39.480
 Jesus died

00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:40.220
 that in

00:42:40.220 --> 00:42:40.960
 my place

00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:41.620
 condemned

00:42:41.620 --> 00:42:42.600
 he stood.

00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:44.040
 He bore

00:42:44.040 --> 00:42:45.260
 the burden

00:42:45.260 --> 00:42:45.780
 of our

00:42:45.780 --> 00:42:46.920
 sin there.

00:42:48.440 --> 00:42:48.820
 We are

00:42:48.820 --> 00:42:50.020
 also slaves

00:42:50.020 --> 00:42:50.840
 to death

00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:51.840
 because the

00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:52.440
 wages of

00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:53.100
 sin is

00:42:53.100 --> 00:42:53.560
 death.

00:42:54.080 --> 00:42:54.820
 We all

00:42:54.820 --> 00:42:55.680
 know the

00:42:55.680 --> 00:42:56.380
 reality of

00:42:56.380 --> 00:42:56.760
 that in

00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:57.180
 our lives,

00:42:57.240 --> 00:42:57.440
 but we

00:42:57.440 --> 00:42:57.780
 can maybe

00:42:57.780 --> 00:42:58.560
 push it

00:42:58.560 --> 00:42:58.940
 away.

00:42:59.620 --> 00:42:59.940
 We can

00:42:59.940 --> 00:43:00.600
 dismiss it

00:43:00.600 --> 00:43:00.960
 for a

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:01.360
 time.

00:43:01.700 --> 00:43:02.120
 We can

00:43:02.120 --> 00:43:02.600
 try and

00:43:02.600 --> 00:43:03.620
 find freedom

00:43:03.620 --> 00:43:04.220
 in life,

00:43:04.600 --> 00:43:05.060
 but we

00:43:05.060 --> 00:43:05.540
 can never

00:43:05.540 --> 00:43:06.180
 find a

00:43:06.180 --> 00:43:06.560
 freedom

00:43:06.560 --> 00:43:07.420
 from death.

00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:09.000
 It is

00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:09.620
 with us

00:43:09.620 --> 00:43:10.720
 all the

00:43:10.720 --> 00:43:11.140
 time.

00:43:12.020 --> 00:43:12.320
 And so

00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:12.700
 the only

00:43:12.700 --> 00:43:13.080
 way to

00:43:13.080 --> 00:43:13.700
 be free

00:43:13.700 --> 00:43:14.140
 from the

00:43:14.140 --> 00:43:14.480
 burden

00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:15.060
 of death

00:43:15.060 --> 00:43:16.080
 is to

00:43:16.080 --> 00:43:16.740
 be firm

00:43:16.740 --> 00:43:17.920
 in Christ.

00:43:18.040 --> 00:43:18.160
 For

00:43:18.160 --> 00:43:18.700
 freedom,

00:43:19.140 --> 00:43:19.740
 Christ has

00:43:19.740 --> 00:43:20.120
 set us

00:43:20.120 --> 00:43:20.380
 free.

00:43:20.580 --> 00:43:21.140
 Stand

00:43:21.140 --> 00:43:21.740
 firm

00:43:21.740 --> 00:43:22.640
 therefore.

00:43:23.520 --> 00:43:24.000
 Stand

00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:24.600
 firm

00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:25.719
 in

00:43:25.719 --> 00:43:26.179
 him.

00:43:28.460 --> 00:43:29.299
 We are

00:43:29.299 --> 00:43:29.679
 also

00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:30.360
 slaves

00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:31.480
 to the

00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:31.799
 devil.

00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:33.279
 We are

00:43:33.279 --> 00:43:33.719
 slaves

00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:34.059
 to

00:43:34.059 --> 00:43:34.519
 Satan.

00:43:34.659 --> 00:43:34.900
 He has

00:43:34.900 --> 00:43:35.440
 a hold

00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:35.900
 on us

00:43:35.900 --> 00:43:36.159
 through

00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:36.699
 sin

00:43:36.699 --> 00:43:37.819
 and doubt

00:43:37.819 --> 00:43:38.299
 and

00:43:38.299 --> 00:43:39.059
 temptation.

00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:40.219
 All of

00:43:40.219 --> 00:43:40.779
 these things

00:43:40.779 --> 00:43:41.219
 that so

00:43:41.219 --> 00:43:42.179
 often he

00:43:42.179 --> 00:43:42.900
 pulls us

00:43:42.900 --> 00:43:43.619
 back with,

00:43:44.179 --> 00:43:44.559
 that he's

00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:44.920
 trying to

00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:45.219
 take us

00:43:45.219 --> 00:43:45.699
 away from

00:43:45.699 --> 00:43:46.400
 standing

00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:47.099
 firm in

00:43:47.099 --> 00:43:47.559
 Christ.

00:43:48.019 --> 00:43:48.460
 And he's

00:43:48.460 --> 00:43:48.900
 shaking

00:43:48.900 --> 00:43:50.059
 our faith.

00:43:50.139 --> 00:43:50.679
 He's shaking

00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:51.460
 the foundation

00:43:51.460 --> 00:43:52.199
 of our faith

00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:52.599
 and making

00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:53.259
 us doubt

00:43:53.259 --> 00:43:54.239
 and fear

00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:54.599
 and be

00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:55.159
 anxious.

00:43:56.939 --> 00:43:57.679
 But Paul

00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:58.139
 is saying,

00:43:58.259 --> 00:43:58.379
 no,

00:43:58.519 --> 00:43:58.960
 stand

00:43:58.960 --> 00:43:59.559
 firm

00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:00.579
 in your

00:44:00.579 --> 00:44:00.919
 faith.

00:44:00.980 --> 00:44:01.480
 And the

00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:02.119
 devil will

00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:02.539
 be there

00:44:02.539 --> 00:44:03.099
 to say,

00:44:03.439 --> 00:44:03.859
 just like

00:44:03.859 --> 00:44:04.259
 he's saying

00:44:04.259 --> 00:44:04.619
 here to

00:44:04.619 --> 00:44:05.239
 the people,

00:44:05.779 --> 00:44:06.139
 what have

00:44:06.139 --> 00:44:06.819
 you done

00:44:06.819 --> 00:44:07.599
 for your

00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:08.119
 salvation?

00:44:08.259 --> 00:44:08.579
 You're

00:44:08.579 --> 00:44:09.339
 not good

00:44:09.339 --> 00:44:09.799
 enough.

00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:10.919
 Look at

00:44:10.919 --> 00:44:11.359
 the things

00:44:11.359 --> 00:44:11.599
 that you

00:44:11.599 --> 00:44:12.000
 have done

00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:12.319
 that are

00:44:12.319 --> 00:44:12.699
 wrong or

00:44:12.699 --> 00:44:13.159
 the things

00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:13.699
 that you

00:44:13.699 --> 00:44:14.139
 should have

00:44:14.139 --> 00:44:14.539
 done that

00:44:14.539 --> 00:44:15.259
 you didn't.

00:44:15.619 --> 00:44:15.980
 And he

00:44:15.980 --> 00:44:16.879
 shakes us.

00:44:18.539 --> 00:44:19.579
 But Paul

00:44:19.579 --> 00:44:19.899
 is saying,

00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:20.179
 no,

00:44:20.299 --> 00:44:21.199
 stand firm

00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:22.639
 in Christ.

00:44:23.839 --> 00:44:25.099
 Jesus came

00:44:25.099 --> 00:44:26.119
 with a

00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:26.579
 purpose.

00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:27.279
 It says in

00:44:27.279 --> 00:44:28.579
 Hebrews 2,

00:44:29.059 --> 00:44:29.939
 verse 14

00:44:29.939 --> 00:44:30.480
 of Jesus,

00:44:30.579 --> 00:44:31.179
 so that by

00:44:31.179 --> 00:44:31.939
 his death

00:44:31.939 --> 00:44:32.299
 he might

00:44:32.299 --> 00:44:33.759
 destroy him

00:44:33.759 --> 00:44:34.399
 who holds

00:44:34.399 --> 00:44:34.919
 the power

00:44:34.919 --> 00:44:35.339
 of death,

00:44:35.460 --> 00:44:36.159
 that is,

00:44:36.259 --> 00:44:36.799
 the devil,

00:44:37.099 --> 00:44:37.719
 and free

00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:38.419
 those who

00:44:38.419 --> 00:44:38.859
 all their

00:44:38.859 --> 00:44:39.419
 lives were

00:44:39.419 --> 00:44:40.000
 held in

00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:41.199
 slavery by

00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:41.939
 their fear

00:44:41.939 --> 00:44:43.000
 of death.

00:44:44.419 --> 00:44:45.179
 He came

00:44:45.179 --> 00:44:46.460
 to set us

00:44:46.460 --> 00:44:46.699
 free.

00:44:46.779 --> 00:44:47.019
 So he

00:44:47.019 --> 00:44:47.259
 says,

00:44:47.779 --> 00:44:48.339
 stand firm

00:44:48.339 --> 00:44:49.559
 in Christ

00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:50.840
 so that

00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:51.239
 what he

00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:51.920
 has done

00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:53.259
 for us

00:44:53.259 --> 00:44:54.239
 and through

00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:55.039
 faith in

00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:55.400
 him and

00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:56.279
 the grace

00:44:56.279 --> 00:44:56.639
 that he

00:44:56.639 --> 00:44:57.119
 has shown

00:44:57.119 --> 00:44:57.519
 us,

00:44:57.940 --> 00:44:58.380
 we can

00:44:58.380 --> 00:44:59.539
 stand firm

00:44:59.539 --> 00:45:00.920
 in him.

00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:01.619
 We must not

00:45:01.619 --> 00:45:02.259
 slip into

00:45:02.259 --> 00:45:03.639
 thinking that

00:45:03.639 --> 00:45:03.980
 it's about

00:45:03.980 --> 00:45:04.519
 what we

00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:05.619
 do and

00:45:05.619 --> 00:45:06.400
 our obedience

00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:07.239
 that wins

00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:07.739
 the day or

00:45:07.739 --> 00:45:08.299
 by keeping

00:45:08.299 --> 00:45:08.960
 the law

00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:09.619
 that we

00:45:09.619 --> 00:45:10.019
 can be

00:45:10.019 --> 00:45:10.539
 saved.

00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:11.460
 That's not

00:45:11.460 --> 00:45:11.799
 what it

00:45:11.799 --> 00:45:12.299
 is at

00:45:12.299 --> 00:45:12.759
 all.

00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:14.420
 We are

00:45:14.420 --> 00:45:15.059
 to rejoice

00:45:15.059 --> 00:45:16.239
 that Christ

00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:16.980
 has come

00:45:16.980 --> 00:45:18.000
 to set

00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:18.559
 us free.

00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:20.059
 But then

00:45:20.059 --> 00:45:20.539
 he gives

00:45:20.539 --> 00:45:21.119
 secondly a

00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:22.059
 warning here.

00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:23.099
 And that's

00:45:23.099 --> 00:45:23.619
 the warning

00:45:23.619 --> 00:45:25.260
 that when

00:45:25.260 --> 00:45:25.800
 we try

00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:26.179
 to do

00:45:26.179 --> 00:45:26.940
 things

00:45:26.940 --> 00:45:28.260
 by ourselves

00:45:28.260 --> 00:45:29.460
 that ultimately

00:45:29.460 --> 00:45:30.280
 we'll fall

00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:31.460
 away from

00:45:31.460 --> 00:45:31.940
 grace.

00:45:32.820 --> 00:45:33.480
 We fall

00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:34.699
 away from

00:45:34.699 --> 00:45:35.179
 grace.

00:45:35.659 --> 00:45:36.099
 If we

00:45:36.099 --> 00:45:36.699
 continue

00:45:36.699 --> 00:45:37.300
 under this

00:45:37.300 --> 00:45:38.420
 being slaves

00:45:38.420 --> 00:45:39.599
 to the law,

00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:40.159
 he says

00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:40.599
 in verse

00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:40.960
 4,

00:45:41.619 --> 00:45:42.099
 you are

00:45:42.099 --> 00:45:42.920
 severed,

00:45:43.460 --> 00:45:44.000
 separated

00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:45.300
 from Christ.

00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:45.880
 You would

00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:46.639
 be justified

00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:47.799
 by the

00:45:47.799 --> 00:45:48.159
 law.

00:45:48.879 --> 00:45:49.299
 You have

00:45:49.299 --> 00:45:49.859
 fallen

00:45:49.859 --> 00:45:50.980
 away

00:45:50.980 --> 00:45:51.900
 from

00:45:51.900 --> 00:45:52.440
 grace.

00:45:53.819 --> 00:45:54.379
 So again

00:45:54.379 --> 00:45:55.079
 Paul here

00:45:55.079 --> 00:45:56.259
 is reflecting

00:45:56.259 --> 00:45:56.659
 on the

00:45:56.659 --> 00:45:57.319
 teaching that

00:45:57.319 --> 00:45:57.639
 they have

00:45:57.639 --> 00:45:58.440
 received from

00:45:58.440 --> 00:45:58.940
 the false

00:45:58.940 --> 00:45:59.599
 teachers,

00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:00.679
 preaching that

00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:01.539
 unless you're

00:46:01.539 --> 00:46:02.559
 circumcised

00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:03.659
 and unless

00:46:03.659 --> 00:46:04.299
 you keep

00:46:04.299 --> 00:46:04.839
 the law,

00:46:05.460 --> 00:46:05.859
 and in

00:46:05.859 --> 00:46:06.279
 this he's

00:46:06.279 --> 00:46:07.379
 saying all

00:46:07.379 --> 00:46:07.879
 the law,

00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:08.839
 you have

00:46:08.839 --> 00:46:09.159
 to keep

00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:10.819
 every part

00:46:10.819 --> 00:46:11.480
 of it,

00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:12.739
 then you

00:46:12.739 --> 00:46:13.039
 are not

00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:13.339
 going to be

00:46:13.339 --> 00:46:13.659
 able to

00:46:13.659 --> 00:46:14.159
 stand.

00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:16.500
 But

00:46:16.500 --> 00:46:17.199
 Paul is

00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:17.420
 saying,

00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:18.179
 no,

00:46:18.319 --> 00:46:18.699
 this is

00:46:18.699 --> 00:46:18.960
 not

00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:19.420
 right.

00:46:19.619 --> 00:46:20.099
 This is

00:46:20.099 --> 00:46:21.239
 foolishness.

00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:23.239
 This is

00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:24.460
 foolishness,

00:46:24.500 --> 00:46:24.899
 and he

00:46:24.899 --> 00:46:25.639
 shows it

00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:26.559
 in three

00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:27.159
 ways.

00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:28.319
 Look at

00:46:28.319 --> 00:46:28.579
 what he

00:46:28.579 --> 00:46:29.079
 says about

00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:29.819
 trusting in

00:46:29.819 --> 00:46:30.559
 anything other

00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:31.319
 than the

00:46:31.319 --> 00:46:32.119
 finished work

00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:32.819
 of Christ.

00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:33.819
 In verse

00:46:33.819 --> 00:46:34.440
 2 he

00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:34.879
 says,

00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:35.219
 look,

00:46:35.319 --> 00:46:35.819
 I say

00:46:35.819 --> 00:46:36.319
 to you,

00:46:36.739 --> 00:46:37.239
 if you

00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:37.879
 accept

00:46:37.879 --> 00:46:38.940
 circumcision,

00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:40.099
 Christ

00:46:40.099 --> 00:46:40.899
 will be

00:46:40.899 --> 00:46:41.699
 of no

00:46:41.699 --> 00:46:42.679
 advantage

00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:43.579
 to you.

00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:45.779
 If you

00:46:45.779 --> 00:46:46.259
 go down

00:46:46.259 --> 00:46:46.960
 this route

00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:47.419
 of saying,

00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:48.079
 well,

00:46:48.159 --> 00:46:48.559
 we need

00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:49.379
 circumcision,

00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:49.679
 or we

00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:50.839
 need every

00:46:50.839 --> 00:46:51.739
 aspect of

00:46:51.739 --> 00:46:52.179
 the law

00:46:52.179 --> 00:46:52.739
 before we

00:46:52.739 --> 00:46:53.539
 can be

00:46:53.539 --> 00:46:54.199
 saved,

00:46:54.879 --> 00:46:55.139
 well,

00:46:55.179 --> 00:46:56.379
 then Christ

00:46:56.379 --> 00:46:57.219
 is nothing

00:46:57.219 --> 00:46:57.839
 for you.

00:46:57.919 --> 00:46:58.139
 He's of

00:46:58.139 --> 00:46:58.579
 no

00:46:58.579 --> 00:46:59.759
 advantage.

00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:01.339
 And this

00:47:01.339 --> 00:47:03.119
 is foolishness.

00:47:04.319 --> 00:47:04.679
 This is

00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:05.119
 like coming

00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:05.619
 to Christ

00:47:05.619 --> 00:47:06.099
 and saying,

00:47:06.500 --> 00:47:06.779
 look at

00:47:06.779 --> 00:47:07.059
 what I've

00:47:07.059 --> 00:47:07.339
 done,

00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:08.099
 it's

00:47:08.099 --> 00:47:08.519
 meaningless.

00:47:08.519 --> 00:47:11.159
 if you

00:47:11.159 --> 00:47:11.639
 go or

00:47:11.639 --> 00:47:12.259
 try to

00:47:12.259 --> 00:47:13.400
 go to

00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:14.059
 a football

00:47:14.059 --> 00:47:14.599
 match or

00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:14.960
 to a

00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:15.579
 concert

00:47:15.579 --> 00:47:16.000
 that's

00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:16.780
 sold out,

00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:17.539
 there's

00:47:17.539 --> 00:47:18.400
 no tickets

00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:19.199
 available,

00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:19.500
 they've

00:47:19.500 --> 00:47:20.219
 all gone,

00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:21.259
 but you

00:47:21.259 --> 00:47:21.880
 go there

00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:22.400
 and you've

00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:22.920
 got all

00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:23.280
 the money

00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:23.559
 in the

00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:23.940
 world,

00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:24.960
 but you

00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:25.340
 don't have

00:47:25.340 --> 00:47:25.880
 a ticket,

00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:27.119
 you're still

00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:27.559
 not going

00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:27.800
 to get

00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:28.000
 in.

00:47:28.780 --> 00:47:29.059
 It's

00:47:29.059 --> 00:47:29.659
 only those

00:47:29.659 --> 00:47:29.980
 who have

00:47:29.980 --> 00:47:30.440
 a ticket

00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:31.320
 who will

00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:31.759
 get in.

00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:33.179
 And those

00:47:33.179 --> 00:47:33.420
 who have

00:47:33.420 --> 00:47:33.780
 got a

00:47:33.780 --> 00:47:34.259
 ticket may

00:47:34.259 --> 00:47:34.679
 have got

00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:34.840
 it,

00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:35.659
 maybe by

00:47:35.659 --> 00:47:36.259
 buying it,

00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:37.039
 maybe by

00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:37.460
 a gift,

00:47:37.460 --> 00:47:37.800
 but they

00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:38.380
 have the

00:47:38.380 --> 00:47:38.800
 ticket.

00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:40.500
 But the

00:47:40.500 --> 00:47:41.119
 one with

00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:41.559
 all the

00:47:41.559 --> 00:47:42.059
 money but

00:47:42.059 --> 00:47:42.820
 no ticket

00:47:42.820 --> 00:47:43.980
 doesn't

00:47:43.980 --> 00:47:44.440
 get in.

00:47:45.619 --> 00:47:46.099
 And that's

00:47:46.099 --> 00:47:46.840
 what Paul

00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:47.360
 is trying to

00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:48.000
 illustrate here.

00:47:48.119 --> 00:47:48.340
 You can

00:47:48.340 --> 00:47:50.039
 have everything

00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:50.500
 in the world,

00:47:50.539 --> 00:47:50.699
 you can

00:47:50.699 --> 00:47:51.300
 try to do

00:47:51.300 --> 00:47:51.880
 it all

00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:52.659
 by yourself,

00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:53.820
 but without

00:47:53.820 --> 00:47:55.119
 faith you're

00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:55.480
 not going

00:47:55.480 --> 00:47:55.960
 to get in.

00:47:57.579 --> 00:47:58.059
 And even

00:47:58.059 --> 00:47:58.860
 with the

00:47:58.860 --> 00:47:59.380
 ticket you

00:47:59.380 --> 00:48:00.039
 maybe have

00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:00.639
 done so

00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:01.159
 much that's

00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:01.599
 wrong in

00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:02.119
 your life,

00:48:02.699 --> 00:48:03.119
 you may

00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:03.740
 have come

00:48:03.740 --> 00:48:04.420
 through so

00:48:04.420 --> 00:48:05.440
 many experiences

00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:05.820
 in your

00:48:05.820 --> 00:48:06.199
 life,

00:48:06.699 --> 00:48:07.440
 but through

00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:08.039
 the grace

00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:08.300
 of the

00:48:08.300 --> 00:48:08.840
 Lord Jesus

00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:09.280
 Christ,

00:48:09.380 --> 00:48:09.920
 he's given

00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:10.420
 you this

00:48:10.420 --> 00:48:10.860
 ticket,

00:48:11.480 --> 00:48:12.000
 you come

00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:12.300
 in,

00:48:13.260 --> 00:48:14.019
 you get

00:48:14.019 --> 00:48:14.320
 in.

00:48:15.099 --> 00:48:15.780
 So anything

00:48:15.780 --> 00:48:16.260
 that we do

00:48:16.260 --> 00:48:16.960
 apart from

00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:18.320
 Christ is

00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:18.720
 of no

00:48:18.720 --> 00:48:19.740
 advantage to

00:48:19.740 --> 00:48:19.960
 you.

00:48:20.420 --> 00:48:20.900
 It's not

00:48:20.900 --> 00:48:21.260
 going to

00:48:21.260 --> 00:48:21.659
 get you

00:48:21.659 --> 00:48:21.860
 in.

00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:23.000
 It is

00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:23.880
 only faith.

00:48:25.380 --> 00:48:25.980
 Then in

00:48:25.980 --> 00:48:26.860
 verse 4,

00:48:26.980 --> 00:48:27.800
 he expands

00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:28.300
 on this,

00:48:28.820 --> 00:48:29.340
 he says

00:48:29.340 --> 00:48:30.860
 at the start

00:48:30.860 --> 00:48:31.340
 of verse 4,

00:48:31.420 --> 00:48:31.700
 you are

00:48:31.700 --> 00:48:33.179
 severed from

00:48:33.179 --> 00:48:33.700
 Christ,

00:48:34.179 --> 00:48:34.639
 you who

00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:34.900
 would be

00:48:34.900 --> 00:48:35.700
 justified by

00:48:35.699 --> 00:48:36.159
 the law,

00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:37.679
 separated from

00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:37.879
 him.

00:48:39.460 --> 00:48:40.619
 If you're

00:48:40.619 --> 00:48:41.359
 not trusting

00:48:41.359 --> 00:48:41.779
 in him

00:48:41.779 --> 00:48:42.139
 alone,

00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:42.719
 he's saying

00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:43.719
 severed,

00:48:43.839 --> 00:48:44.679
 I knew

00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:45.480
 you not,

00:48:45.579 --> 00:48:46.019
 is what

00:48:46.019 --> 00:48:46.359
 Jesus

00:48:46.359 --> 00:48:46.980
 says.

00:48:48.319 --> 00:48:48.839
 We're

00:48:48.839 --> 00:48:49.879
 apart from

00:48:49.879 --> 00:48:50.199
 him,

00:48:51.299 --> 00:48:52.039
 and therefore

00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:52.419
 we're

00:48:52.419 --> 00:48:52.919
 falling.

00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:53.819
 We're

00:48:53.819 --> 00:48:54.679
 falling away

00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:55.439
 from our

00:48:55.439 --> 00:48:56.079
 salvation.

00:48:57.239 --> 00:48:57.559
 And that's

00:48:57.559 --> 00:48:57.779
 what he

00:48:57.779 --> 00:48:58.519
 further

00:48:58.519 --> 00:48:59.259
 says in

00:48:59.259 --> 00:48:59.799
 verse 4,

00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:00.880
 you have

00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:02.260
 fallen away

00:49:02.260 --> 00:49:03.800
 from grace.

00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:05.700
 The very

00:49:05.700 --> 00:49:06.640
 thing that

00:49:06.640 --> 00:49:07.280
 you need

00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:07.800
 for your

00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:08.280
 salvation,

00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:09.180
 you have

00:49:09.180 --> 00:49:10.680
 fallen away

00:49:10.680 --> 00:49:10.960
 from.

00:49:11.019 --> 00:49:11.560
 This is a

00:49:11.560 --> 00:49:12.660
 phrase that

00:49:12.660 --> 00:49:13.120
 we often

00:49:13.120 --> 00:49:14.160
 hear maybe

00:49:14.160 --> 00:49:14.840
 in society.

00:49:14.980 --> 00:49:15.260
 We hear

00:49:15.260 --> 00:49:16.440
 people talking

00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:17.080
 about a

00:49:17.080 --> 00:49:18.200
 fall from

00:49:18.200 --> 00:49:18.600
 grace.

00:49:18.780 --> 00:49:18.940
 It's

00:49:18.940 --> 00:49:19.480
 interesting how

00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:20.180
 many phrases

00:49:20.180 --> 00:49:20.600
 in the

00:49:20.600 --> 00:49:21.580
 Bible we

00:49:21.580 --> 00:49:22.340
 see used

00:49:22.340 --> 00:49:23.039
 commonly in

00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:23.900
 everyday life.

00:49:25.019 --> 00:49:25.420
 This is

00:49:25.420 --> 00:49:25.760
 one of them,

00:49:25.780 --> 00:49:26.340
 a fall

00:49:26.340 --> 00:49:27.320
 from grace.

00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:28.380
 We hear it

00:49:28.380 --> 00:49:29.559
 about people

00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:29.940
 who maybe

00:49:29.940 --> 00:49:30.740
 a scandal

00:49:30.740 --> 00:49:31.200
 has come

00:49:31.200 --> 00:49:31.680
 into their

00:49:31.680 --> 00:49:32.160
 lives.

00:49:33.160 --> 00:49:33.460
 They've

00:49:33.460 --> 00:49:33.880
 maybe been

00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:34.420
 in positions

00:49:34.420 --> 00:49:35.119
 of power

00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:35.860
 or authority

00:49:35.860 --> 00:49:36.559
 or wealth,

00:49:37.140 --> 00:49:37.619
 but they

00:49:37.619 --> 00:49:38.119
 have this

00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:39.000
 fall from

00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:39.539
 grace as

00:49:39.539 --> 00:49:40.280
 it's called,

00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:41.059
 and they

00:49:41.059 --> 00:49:41.619
 end up in

00:49:41.619 --> 00:49:42.200
 disgrace.

00:49:42.539 --> 00:49:42.880
 They end

00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:43.820
 up losing

00:49:43.820 --> 00:49:44.579
 that position

00:49:44.579 --> 00:49:45.300
 of authority

00:49:45.300 --> 00:49:46.300
 or sometimes

00:49:46.300 --> 00:49:46.780
 they even

00:49:46.780 --> 00:49:47.800
 lose their

00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:48.220
 freedom.

00:49:48.860 --> 00:49:49.220
 They end

00:49:49.220 --> 00:49:49.579
 up in

00:49:49.579 --> 00:49:49.980
 prison.

00:49:50.760 --> 00:49:51.160
 It's seen

00:49:51.160 --> 00:49:51.880
 as a fall

00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:53.119
 from grace.

00:49:56.240 --> 00:49:56.900
 And we

00:49:56.900 --> 00:49:57.680
 see these

00:49:57.680 --> 00:49:58.019
 things and

00:49:58.019 --> 00:49:58.300
 we think,

00:49:58.380 --> 00:49:58.880
 you know,

00:49:58.960 --> 00:49:59.760
 how serious

00:49:59.760 --> 00:50:00.760
 these are.

00:50:01.680 --> 00:50:02.200
 But what

00:50:02.200 --> 00:50:03.119
 about ourselves?

00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:05.200
 What about

00:50:05.200 --> 00:50:06.039
 our fall

00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:07.019
 from grace?

00:50:07.980 --> 00:50:08.500
 It's not

00:50:08.500 --> 00:50:08.980
 maybe a

00:50:08.980 --> 00:50:09.760
 scandal that

00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:10.240
 makes the

00:50:10.240 --> 00:50:10.920
 front page

00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:11.460
 headlines,

00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:12.980
 but it's

00:50:12.980 --> 00:50:13.579
 even more

00:50:13.579 --> 00:50:14.380
 serious

00:50:14.380 --> 00:50:16.079
 because it's

00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:16.940
 with Christ.

00:50:17.780 --> 00:50:18.420
 And a fall

00:50:18.420 --> 00:50:18.960
 from grace

00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:19.599
 with Christ

00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:20.099
 is the most

00:50:20.099 --> 00:50:21.019
 serious thing

00:50:21.019 --> 00:50:22.119
 of all.

00:50:22.860 --> 00:50:23.480
 We lose

00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:24.180
 all the

00:50:24.180 --> 00:50:24.780
 benefits

00:50:24.780 --> 00:50:25.700
 that are

00:50:25.700 --> 00:50:26.160
 ours

00:50:26.160 --> 00:50:27.380
 in Christ.

00:50:27.380 --> 00:50:29.760
 we lose

00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:30.800
 our

00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:31.420
 freedom.

00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:33.119
 We lose

00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:33.980
 our

00:50:33.980 --> 00:50:34.660
 salvation.

00:50:35.660 --> 00:50:36.500
 And so

00:50:36.500 --> 00:50:36.800
 it's

00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:37.280
 foolish.

00:50:38.340 --> 00:50:38.780
 It is

00:50:38.780 --> 00:50:39.420
 foolish to

00:50:39.420 --> 00:50:40.360
 think that

00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:40.640
 we can

00:50:40.640 --> 00:50:41.240
 live this

00:50:41.240 --> 00:50:41.940
 life by

00:50:41.940 --> 00:50:42.539
 ourselves

00:50:42.539 --> 00:50:42.960
 and do

00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:43.500
 it all

00:50:43.500 --> 00:50:44.599
 ourselves

00:50:44.599 --> 00:50:46.220
 because it

00:50:46.220 --> 00:50:46.579
 is only

00:50:46.579 --> 00:50:47.579
 through Christ

00:50:47.579 --> 00:50:48.559
 that we

00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:49.039
 are free.

00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:49.480
 Otherwise,

00:50:49.980 --> 00:50:50.660
 we are

00:50:50.660 --> 00:50:51.260
 falling

00:50:51.260 --> 00:50:52.380
 away.

00:50:52.380 --> 00:50:53.500
 now,

00:50:53.579 --> 00:50:53.860
 what was

00:50:53.860 --> 00:50:54.119
 at the

00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:54.480
 heart

00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:55.400
 of their

00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:55.900
 falling

00:50:55.900 --> 00:50:56.340
 away?

00:50:57.200 --> 00:50:57.440
 It's

00:50:57.440 --> 00:50:57.820
 what's so

00:50:57.820 --> 00:50:58.160
 often at

00:50:58.160 --> 00:50:58.599
 the heart

00:50:58.599 --> 00:50:58.940
 of our

00:50:58.940 --> 00:50:59.280
 own

00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:00.180
 falling

00:51:00.180 --> 00:51:00.780
 away as

00:51:00.780 --> 00:51:01.240
 well.

00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:02.440
 It's a

00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:03.619
 fear of

00:51:03.619 --> 00:51:05.280
 man and

00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:06.300
 the expectations

00:51:06.300 --> 00:51:07.579
 that are put

00:51:07.579 --> 00:51:08.180
 on us

00:51:08.180 --> 00:51:09.340
 from man

00:51:09.340 --> 00:51:10.240
 and trying

00:51:10.240 --> 00:51:11.099
 to please

00:51:11.099 --> 00:51:12.119
 man

00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:14.559
 instead of

00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:15.300
 trying to

00:51:15.300 --> 00:51:15.960
 please

00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:16.940
 God.

00:51:16.940 --> 00:51:18.340
 You can

00:51:18.340 --> 00:51:18.900
 see here

00:51:18.900 --> 00:51:20.380
 their fear

00:51:20.380 --> 00:51:21.200
 was what

00:51:21.200 --> 00:51:21.720
 others

00:51:21.720 --> 00:51:22.300
 thought.

00:51:22.700 --> 00:51:23.280
 If they

00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:23.639
 were being

00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:24.360
 told you

00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:24.579
 need

00:51:24.579 --> 00:51:25.360
 circumcision,

00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:26.139
 you need

00:51:26.139 --> 00:51:26.740
 all the

00:51:26.740 --> 00:51:26.920
 law,

00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:27.220
 they were

00:51:27.220 --> 00:51:28.139
 afraid of

00:51:28.139 --> 00:51:28.619
 what man

00:51:28.619 --> 00:51:29.139
 was saying

00:51:29.139 --> 00:51:29.679
 to them.

00:51:30.220 --> 00:51:30.440
 And so

00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:30.940
 they sought

00:51:30.940 --> 00:51:31.800
 to please

00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:33.400
 them instead

00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:34.099
 of pleasing

00:51:34.099 --> 00:51:34.720
 God.

00:51:35.619 --> 00:51:36.099
 And so

00:51:36.099 --> 00:51:36.659
 often that's

00:51:36.659 --> 00:51:37.079
 the case

00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:37.900
 for ourselves.

00:51:39.019 --> 00:51:39.820
 We're doing

00:51:39.820 --> 00:51:40.619
 things to

00:51:40.619 --> 00:51:41.780
 please others

00:51:41.780 --> 00:51:43.119
 and not

00:51:43.119 --> 00:51:43.840
 to please

00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:44.420
 God.

00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:45.900
 A man

00:51:45.900 --> 00:51:46.280
 called

00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:46.700
 William

00:51:46.700 --> 00:51:47.140
 Garnall.

00:51:47.580 --> 00:51:48.120
 He once

00:51:48.120 --> 00:51:48.380
 said,

00:51:48.540 --> 00:51:49.060
 we fear

00:51:49.060 --> 00:51:50.040
 men so

00:51:50.040 --> 00:51:51.500
 much because

00:51:51.500 --> 00:51:52.140
 we fear

00:51:52.140 --> 00:51:53.519
 God so

00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:53.900
 little.

00:51:55.519 --> 00:51:55.960
 We need

00:51:55.960 --> 00:51:57.019
 to refocus.

00:51:58.040 --> 00:51:58.420
 We need

00:51:58.420 --> 00:51:58.920
 to look at

00:51:58.920 --> 00:51:59.500
 these things

00:51:59.500 --> 00:52:00.000
 again and

00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:00.860
 see who

00:52:00.860 --> 00:52:01.280
 am I

00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:01.840
 trying to

00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:02.380
 please?

00:52:02.940 --> 00:52:03.380
 And what

00:52:03.380 --> 00:52:03.660
 am I

00:52:03.660 --> 00:52:04.240
 trying to

00:52:04.240 --> 00:52:04.540
 do?

00:52:05.060 --> 00:52:05.580
 That's what

00:52:05.580 --> 00:52:06.100
 Paul is

00:52:06.100 --> 00:52:06.440
 saying to

00:52:06.440 --> 00:52:07.200
 the Galatians.

00:52:07.580 --> 00:52:08.080
 You're trying

00:52:08.080 --> 00:52:08.580
 to please

00:52:08.580 --> 00:52:09.440
 those around

00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:10.019
 you by doing

00:52:10.019 --> 00:52:11.060
 everything that

00:52:11.060 --> 00:52:11.660
 they're asking

00:52:11.660 --> 00:52:12.300
 of you.

00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:13.140
 You're trying

00:52:13.140 --> 00:52:13.480
 to do

00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:13.900
 everything that

00:52:13.900 --> 00:52:14.340
 they ask

00:52:14.340 --> 00:52:14.880
 of you.

00:52:15.160 --> 00:52:15.700
 But it's

00:52:15.699 --> 00:52:16.379
 impossible.

00:52:17.059 --> 00:52:17.359
 As he

00:52:17.359 --> 00:52:17.719
 says at

00:52:17.719 --> 00:52:18.119
 the end

00:52:18.119 --> 00:52:18.500
 of verse

00:52:18.500 --> 00:52:18.779
 3,

00:52:19.279 --> 00:52:19.539
 you are

00:52:19.539 --> 00:52:20.139
 bound to

00:52:20.139 --> 00:52:20.839
 keep the

00:52:20.839 --> 00:52:21.839
 whole law,

00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:23.119
 everything,

00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:23.419
 and you

00:52:23.419 --> 00:52:24.019
 just cannot

00:52:24.019 --> 00:52:24.759
 do it.

00:52:25.799 --> 00:52:26.179
 And in

00:52:26.179 --> 00:52:26.539
 this,

00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:27.419
 you are

00:52:27.419 --> 00:52:28.159
 severed from

00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:28.679
 Christ.

00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:29.219
 You will

00:52:29.219 --> 00:52:29.799
 be justified

00:52:29.799 --> 00:52:30.299
 by the law.

00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:31.079
 You have

00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:32.219
 fallen from

00:52:32.219 --> 00:52:32.719
 grace.

00:52:34.339 --> 00:52:34.980
 And it

00:52:34.980 --> 00:52:35.619
 is grace

00:52:35.619 --> 00:52:36.379
 we need.

00:52:37.739 --> 00:52:38.259
 So,

00:52:38.319 --> 00:52:39.039
 our focus

00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:39.539
 is in the

00:52:39.539 --> 00:52:40.359
 wrong place.

00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:40.440
 grace.

00:52:41.519 --> 00:52:41.760
 So,

00:52:41.820 --> 00:52:42.180
 finally,

00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:42.740
 we see

00:52:42.740 --> 00:52:44.000
 Paul is

00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:44.280
 saying,

00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:45.200
 look to

00:52:45.200 --> 00:52:45.680
 the right

00:52:45.680 --> 00:52:46.240
 place.

00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:48.599
 Look to

00:52:48.599 --> 00:52:49.180
 Christ.

00:52:50.740 --> 00:52:51.400
 What do

00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:51.900
 we do

00:52:51.900 --> 00:52:52.780
 when we

00:52:52.780 --> 00:52:53.220
 know we

00:52:53.220 --> 00:52:53.740
 are wrong?

00:52:54.780 --> 00:52:55.340
 What do

00:52:55.340 --> 00:52:55.680
 we do

00:52:55.680 --> 00:52:55.940
 when we

00:52:55.940 --> 00:52:56.680
 are heading

00:52:56.680 --> 00:52:57.120
 the wrong

00:52:57.120 --> 00:52:57.440
 way?

00:52:57.980 --> 00:52:58.320
 We need

00:52:58.320 --> 00:52:58.980
 to turn

00:52:58.980 --> 00:53:00.079
 and look

00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:01.160
 to Christ.

00:53:02.140 --> 00:53:02.579
 To look

00:53:02.579 --> 00:53:03.120
 to him

00:53:03.120 --> 00:53:04.440
 by faith

00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:05.780
 to know

00:53:05.780 --> 00:53:07.240
 this grace.

00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:09.199
 for through

00:53:09.199 --> 00:53:09.859
 the Spirit

00:53:09.859 --> 00:53:10.699
 by faith

00:53:10.699 --> 00:53:11.339
 we

00:53:11.339 --> 00:53:11.939
 ourselves

00:53:11.939 --> 00:53:12.619
 eagerly

00:53:12.619 --> 00:53:13.079
 wait for

00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:13.619
 the hope

00:53:13.619 --> 00:53:14.639
 of righteousness.

00:53:14.839 --> 00:53:15.139
 For in

00:53:15.139 --> 00:53:16.059
 Christ Jesus

00:53:16.059 --> 00:53:16.839
 neither

00:53:16.839 --> 00:53:17.779
 circumcision

00:53:17.779 --> 00:53:18.659
 nor

00:53:18.659 --> 00:53:19.739
 uncircumcision

00:53:19.739 --> 00:53:20.619
 counts for

00:53:20.619 --> 00:53:21.179
 anything,

00:53:21.719 --> 00:53:22.619
 but only

00:53:22.619 --> 00:53:23.339
 faith

00:53:23.339 --> 00:53:24.219
 working

00:53:24.219 --> 00:53:25.279
 through

00:53:25.279 --> 00:53:26.259
 love.

00:53:27.319 --> 00:53:27.959
 It is

00:53:27.959 --> 00:53:28.819
 looking

00:53:28.819 --> 00:53:30.419
 to Christ

00:53:30.419 --> 00:53:32.559
 and following

00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:33.579
 him.

00:53:33.659 --> 00:53:34.339
 Our works

00:53:34.339 --> 00:53:35.959
 are nothing

00:53:35.960 --> 00:53:37.440
 without faith.

00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:38.720
 We are not

00:53:38.720 --> 00:53:39.780
 saved by

00:53:39.780 --> 00:53:41.139
 our works

00:53:41.139 --> 00:53:41.740
 but we are

00:53:41.740 --> 00:53:42.920
 saved to

00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:43.559
 works.

00:53:45.059 --> 00:53:45.500
 And so

00:53:45.500 --> 00:53:45.920
 all the

00:53:45.920 --> 00:53:46.400
 time we

00:53:46.400 --> 00:53:47.059
 are trusting

00:53:47.059 --> 00:53:47.940
 in ourselves

00:53:47.940 --> 00:53:49.079
 and our

00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:49.740
 own works

00:53:49.740 --> 00:53:50.639
 of salvation

00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:51.679
 we are

00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:52.240
 slaves.

00:53:52.460 --> 00:53:52.720
 There is

00:53:52.720 --> 00:53:53.519
 no joy

00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:53.960
 in it

00:53:53.960 --> 00:53:55.019
 because it's

00:53:55.019 --> 00:53:55.639
 impossible.

00:53:56.760 --> 00:53:57.659
 But when

00:53:57.659 --> 00:53:58.059
 we look

00:53:58.059 --> 00:53:58.940
 to Christ

00:53:58.940 --> 00:54:00.440
 and when

00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:01.000
 we follow

00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:01.440
 him

00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:03.240
 there we

00:54:03.240 --> 00:54:04.360
 find the

00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:05.360
 way prepared.

00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:06.400
 and the

00:54:06.400 --> 00:54:06.820
 way that

00:54:06.820 --> 00:54:07.420
 is free.

00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:08.599
 The way

00:54:08.599 --> 00:54:08.960
 we are

00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:10.079
 free to

00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:10.720
 enjoy

00:54:10.720 --> 00:54:11.280
 him.

00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:13.240
 Look at

00:54:13.240 --> 00:54:13.679
 it this

00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:13.940
 way.

00:54:14.220 --> 00:54:14.539
 I was

00:54:14.539 --> 00:54:15.139
 watching a

00:54:15.139 --> 00:54:15.579
 program

00:54:15.579 --> 00:54:16.119
 this week

00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:17.539
 about

00:54:17.539 --> 00:54:18.579
 people who

00:54:18.579 --> 00:54:19.000
 go to

00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:19.440
 clear

00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:21.179
 minefields.

00:54:21.820 --> 00:54:22.380
 Anyway

00:54:22.380 --> 00:54:23.059
 there's been a

00:54:23.059 --> 00:54:23.840
 conflict in

00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:24.340
 the past.

00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:24.960
 So often

00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:26.119
 there's mines

00:54:26.119 --> 00:54:26.900
 left behind

00:54:26.900 --> 00:54:27.380
 and they're

00:54:27.380 --> 00:54:28.400
 so dangerous.

00:54:28.980 --> 00:54:29.720
 People who

00:54:29.720 --> 00:54:30.260
 don't know

00:54:30.260 --> 00:54:30.780
 that they're

00:54:30.780 --> 00:54:32.159
 adults or

00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:32.639
 children

00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:33.240
 they find

00:54:33.240 --> 00:54:33.920
 themselves in

00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:34.440
 a place

00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:34.980
 that's so

00:54:34.980 --> 00:54:35.519
 dangerous

00:54:35.519 --> 00:54:36.320
 and they

00:54:36.320 --> 00:54:36.820
 don't even

00:54:36.820 --> 00:54:37.760
 realize it.

00:54:38.579 --> 00:54:38.880
 And so

00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:39.559
 they send

00:54:39.559 --> 00:54:40.500
 people in

00:54:40.500 --> 00:54:41.119
 to clear

00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:42.420
 these places.

00:54:43.780 --> 00:54:44.059
 Now they

00:54:44.059 --> 00:54:44.579
 don't send

00:54:44.579 --> 00:54:45.300
 people in

00:54:45.300 --> 00:54:46.119
 there by

00:54:46.119 --> 00:54:46.940
 themselves to

00:54:46.940 --> 00:54:47.460
 go in with

00:54:47.460 --> 00:54:47.840
 their own

00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:49.280
 hands trying

00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:49.840
 to find

00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:50.260
 their way

00:54:50.260 --> 00:54:50.760
 around.

00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:51.980
 It's far

00:54:51.980 --> 00:54:52.960
 too dangerous.

00:54:54.480 --> 00:54:54.840
 And yet

00:54:54.840 --> 00:54:56.019
 as Paul is

00:54:56.019 --> 00:54:56.420
 saying here

00:54:56.420 --> 00:54:57.119
 that's almost

00:54:57.119 --> 00:54:57.579
 the way

00:54:57.579 --> 00:54:58.559
 we try and

00:54:58.559 --> 00:54:59.179
 find our

00:54:59.179 --> 00:54:59.740
 way through

00:54:59.740 --> 00:55:00.159
 life.

00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:00.980
 Trying to

00:55:00.980 --> 00:55:01.659
 do it all

00:55:01.659 --> 00:55:02.399
 ourselves.

00:55:03.460 --> 00:55:03.779
 We're

00:55:03.779 --> 00:55:04.000
 going to

00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:04.440
 end up

00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:04.879
 falling

00:55:04.879 --> 00:55:05.359
 away.

00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:07.039
 So what

00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:07.299
 they do

00:55:07.299 --> 00:55:07.539
 in the

00:55:07.539 --> 00:55:08.379
 minefields

00:55:08.379 --> 00:55:08.719
 is they

00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:09.159
 have this

00:55:09.159 --> 00:55:09.719
 machine.

00:55:10.759 --> 00:55:11.279
 It's like

00:55:11.279 --> 00:55:11.899
 a tank

00:55:11.899 --> 00:55:12.319
 with a

00:55:12.319 --> 00:55:12.920
 bulldozer

00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:13.460
 blade on

00:55:13.460 --> 00:55:13.899
 the front.

00:55:14.819 --> 00:55:15.379
 And it

00:55:15.379 --> 00:55:16.019
 goes through

00:55:16.019 --> 00:55:16.899
 these fields

00:55:16.899 --> 00:55:17.539
 and the

00:55:17.539 --> 00:55:18.219
 blade on

00:55:18.219 --> 00:55:18.679
 the front

00:55:18.679 --> 00:55:19.039
 you can

00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:19.599
 see it

00:55:19.599 --> 00:55:19.799
 going

00:55:19.799 --> 00:55:20.139
 through

00:55:20.139 --> 00:55:20.619
 just very

00:55:20.619 --> 00:55:21.239
 slowly.

00:55:22.319 --> 00:55:22.719
 Almost

00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:23.739
 every few

00:55:23.739 --> 00:55:24.319
 seconds you

00:55:24.319 --> 00:55:24.799
 see an

00:55:24.799 --> 00:55:25.639
 explosion

00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:26.000
 under

00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:27.179
 this shield

00:55:27.179 --> 00:55:27.519
 at the

00:55:27.519 --> 00:55:27.799
 front.

00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:28.980
 It's

00:55:28.980 --> 00:55:29.519
 detonating

00:55:29.519 --> 00:55:30.039
 all the

00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:30.339
 mines.

00:55:30.340 --> 00:55:31.000
 It's

00:55:31.000 --> 00:55:31.620
 clearing

00:55:31.620 --> 00:55:32.260
 the way

00:55:32.260 --> 00:55:32.900
 for them.

00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:34.200
 Everyone

00:55:34.200 --> 00:55:35.120
 is safe

00:55:35.120 --> 00:55:35.900
 behind it

00:55:35.900 --> 00:55:36.539
 and the

00:55:36.539 --> 00:55:36.820
 way

00:55:36.820 --> 00:55:37.680
 is

00:55:37.680 --> 00:55:38.200
 cleared.

00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:40.380
 And that's

00:55:40.380 --> 00:55:40.700
 what we

00:55:40.700 --> 00:55:41.100
 have

00:55:41.100 --> 00:55:42.640
 in Christ.

00:55:43.539 --> 00:55:44.220
 That's

00:55:44.220 --> 00:55:44.480
 what we

00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:44.940
 have

00:55:44.940 --> 00:55:46.280
 in him.

00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:47.840
 The one

00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:48.760
 who has

00:55:48.760 --> 00:55:49.360
 gone ahead

00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:49.880
 of us.

00:55:50.460 --> 00:55:51.059
 The one

00:55:51.059 --> 00:55:51.380
 who has

00:55:51.380 --> 00:55:52.039
 prepared

00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:53.039
 the way

00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:53.820
 for us.

00:55:54.400 --> 00:55:55.140
 The one

00:55:55.140 --> 00:55:55.940
 who has

00:55:55.940 --> 00:55:56.480
 set us

00:55:56.480 --> 00:55:56.900
 free.

00:55:58.360 --> 00:55:58.840
 So we

00:55:58.840 --> 00:55:59.220
 know when

00:55:59.220 --> 00:55:59.539
 we are

00:55:59.539 --> 00:55:59.960
 following

00:55:59.960 --> 00:56:00.699
 Christ

00:56:00.699 --> 00:56:01.820
 we are

00:56:01.820 --> 00:56:02.079
 on the

00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:02.779
 right way

00:56:02.779 --> 00:56:03.619
 and we

00:56:03.619 --> 00:56:04.340
 can stand

00:56:04.340 --> 00:56:04.820
 firm.

00:56:06.079 --> 00:56:06.679
 Imagine

00:56:06.679 --> 00:56:07.259
 yourself

00:56:07.259 --> 00:56:07.759
 walking

00:56:07.759 --> 00:56:08.239
 through

00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:08.920
 a

00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:09.619
 minefield.

00:56:10.779 --> 00:56:11.099
 Where

00:56:11.099 --> 00:56:11.440
 would you

00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:12.000
 want to

00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:12.320
 be?

00:56:13.179 --> 00:56:13.739
 Going

00:56:13.739 --> 00:56:14.300
 it alone?

00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:15.420
 Going

00:56:15.420 --> 00:56:15.920
 your own

00:56:15.920 --> 00:56:16.259
 way?

00:56:16.800 --> 00:56:17.300
 Finding

00:56:17.300 --> 00:56:17.659
 your own

00:56:17.659 --> 00:56:17.900
 way?

00:56:17.980 --> 00:56:18.119
 Feeling

00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:18.360
 I'm

00:56:18.360 --> 00:56:18.800
 safe

00:56:18.800 --> 00:56:19.099
 enough

00:56:19.099 --> 00:56:19.480
 doing

00:56:19.480 --> 00:56:20.019
 this

00:56:20.019 --> 00:56:21.519
 only to

00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:21.920
 fall

00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:22.360
 away

00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:23.139
 when you

00:56:23.139 --> 00:56:23.420
 least

00:56:23.420 --> 00:56:24.300
 expect it.

00:56:25.259 --> 00:56:25.960
 Or

00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:27.099
 to be

00:56:27.099 --> 00:56:27.519
 following

00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:28.259
 Christ.

00:56:29.179 --> 00:56:29.659
 The one

00:56:29.659 --> 00:56:30.000
 who has

00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:30.960
 prepared

00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:31.460
 the way.

00:56:32.259 --> 00:56:32.619
 Knowing

00:56:32.619 --> 00:56:33.639
 you are

00:56:33.639 --> 00:56:34.300
 secure

00:56:34.300 --> 00:56:35.679
 in him.

00:56:38.679 --> 00:56:39.280
 It

00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:39.880
 makes no

00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:40.320
 sense,

00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:40.840
 does it,

00:56:41.179 --> 00:56:41.920
 to walk

00:56:41.920 --> 00:56:42.340
 through the

00:56:42.340 --> 00:56:42.940
 minefield

00:56:42.940 --> 00:56:43.519
 yourself.

00:56:44.820 --> 00:56:45.719
 So why

00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:46.239
 then in

00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:46.719
 life

00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:48.079
 would you

00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:48.559
 seek to

00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:49.500
 please God

00:56:49.500 --> 00:56:50.360
 on your

00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:51.400
 own terms,

00:56:51.780 --> 00:56:52.519
 with your

00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:52.820
 own

00:56:52.820 --> 00:56:53.420
 freedom,

00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:54.340
 with your

00:56:54.340 --> 00:56:55.039
 own works

00:56:55.039 --> 00:56:56.260
 of salvation

00:56:56.260 --> 00:56:57.180
 trying to

00:56:57.180 --> 00:56:57.940
 please him

00:56:57.940 --> 00:56:58.940
 when it's

00:56:58.940 --> 00:56:59.620
 impossible.

00:57:00.660 --> 00:57:01.620
 What Paul

00:57:01.620 --> 00:57:02.240
 is saying

00:57:02.240 --> 00:57:03.360
 is forget

00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:04.340
 about that.

00:57:05.200 --> 00:57:05.539
 You will

00:57:05.539 --> 00:57:06.100
 fall.

00:57:06.740 --> 00:57:07.080
 You will

00:57:07.080 --> 00:57:07.860
 fall from

00:57:07.860 --> 00:57:08.380
 grace.

00:57:09.260 --> 00:57:09.860
 But he's

00:57:09.860 --> 00:57:10.300
 saying the

00:57:10.300 --> 00:57:11.480
 way is

00:57:11.480 --> 00:57:12.080
 there for

00:57:12.080 --> 00:57:12.380
 you.

00:57:13.260 --> 00:57:13.539
 Follow

00:57:13.539 --> 00:57:14.140
 Christ.

00:57:15.160 --> 00:57:15.580
 Trust

00:57:15.580 --> 00:57:16.019
 him.

00:57:16.920 --> 00:57:17.460
 Stand

00:57:17.460 --> 00:57:18.140
 firm

00:57:18.140 --> 00:57:19.019
 therefore.

00:57:20.140 --> 00:57:20.480
 And do

00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:21.120
 not again

00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:21.779
 go back

00:57:21.779 --> 00:57:22.559
 to the

00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:23.059
 yoke of

00:57:23.059 --> 00:57:23.539
 slavery.

00:57:24.519 --> 00:57:25.000
 There

00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:25.599
 you are

00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:26.179
 slaves

00:57:26.179 --> 00:57:27.299
 and there's

00:57:27.299 --> 00:57:28.099
 no joy.

00:57:29.099 --> 00:57:29.880
 But in

00:57:29.880 --> 00:57:30.400
 Christ

00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:31.179
 you are

00:57:31.179 --> 00:57:31.619
 free.

00:57:32.500 --> 00:57:33.000
 Stand

00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:33.619
 firm

00:57:33.619 --> 00:57:34.940
 in him

00:57:34.940 --> 00:57:36.699
 and rejoice.

00:57:37.480 --> 00:57:38.079
 Let us

00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:38.339
 pray.

00:57:40.099 --> 00:57:40.779
 Our

00:57:40.779 --> 00:57:41.460
 Father in

00:57:41.460 --> 00:57:41.799
 heaven,

00:57:41.900 --> 00:57:42.380
 we thank

00:57:42.380 --> 00:57:42.900
 you for

00:57:42.900 --> 00:57:43.319
 the one

00:57:43.319 --> 00:57:43.719
 who has

00:57:43.719 --> 00:57:44.400
 prepared

00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:44.900
 the way

00:57:44.900 --> 00:57:45.380
 for us,

00:57:45.460 --> 00:57:45.900
 the one

00:57:45.900 --> 00:57:46.779
 who has

00:57:46.779 --> 00:57:47.259
 conquered

00:57:47.259 --> 00:57:48.659
 sin and

00:57:48.659 --> 00:57:49.199
 death and

00:57:49.199 --> 00:57:49.679
 the devil,

00:57:50.279 --> 00:57:50.599
 and the

00:57:50.599 --> 00:57:51.199
 one who

00:57:51.199 --> 00:57:51.699
 is able

00:57:51.699 --> 00:57:52.420
 to set

00:57:52.420 --> 00:57:53.039
 us free

00:57:53.039 --> 00:57:54.039
 from the

00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:54.559
 yoke of

00:57:54.559 --> 00:57:55.360
 slavery as

00:57:55.360 --> 00:57:55.860
 your word

00:57:55.860 --> 00:57:56.319
 says.

00:57:56.440 --> 00:57:56.960
 Help us,

00:57:57.199 --> 00:57:57.339
 Lord,

00:57:57.779 --> 00:57:58.299
 to look

00:57:58.299 --> 00:57:58.860
 to him,

00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:00.039
 to find

00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:01.019
 our freedom,

00:58:01.539 --> 00:58:02.360
 our salvation

00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:03.039
 through his

00:58:03.039 --> 00:58:04.119
 grace towards

00:58:04.119 --> 00:58:04.480
 us,

00:58:04.940 --> 00:58:05.199
 that we

00:58:05.199 --> 00:58:05.579
 might be

00:58:05.579 --> 00:58:06.799
 enabled to

00:58:06.799 --> 00:58:07.779
 stand firm

00:58:07.779 --> 00:58:08.319
 in him.

00:58:08.699 --> 00:58:09.299
 We ask

00:58:09.299 --> 00:58:09.880
 it in his

00:58:09.880 --> 00:58:10.719
 precious name.

00:58:11.239 --> 00:58:11.559
 Amen.

00:58:11.559 --> 00:58:11.659
 Amen.

00:58:11.659 --> 00:58:18.539
 We're

00:58:18.539 --> 00:58:18.960
 going to

00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:19.699
 conclude by

00:58:19.699 --> 00:58:20.420
 singing to

00:58:20.420 --> 00:58:20.819
 God's

00:58:20.819 --> 00:58:21.359
 praise in

00:58:21.359 --> 00:58:22.539
 Psalm 33.

00:58:23.539 --> 00:58:24.599
 This is the

00:58:24.599 --> 00:58:25.139
 Scottish

00:58:25.139 --> 00:58:25.679
 Psalter

00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:26.159
 version.

00:58:27.199 --> 00:58:28.079
 Psalm 33,

00:58:28.279 --> 00:58:29.779
 page 246,

00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:31.559
 and the

00:58:31.559 --> 00:58:32.379
 last three

00:58:32.379 --> 00:58:33.139
 stanzas,

00:58:33.659 --> 00:58:34.259
 verse 18

00:58:34.259 --> 00:58:34.799
 to the end.

00:58:34.859 --> 00:58:35.379
 Behold,

00:58:35.799 --> 00:58:36.379
 on those

00:58:36.379 --> 00:58:36.779
 that do

00:58:36.779 --> 00:58:37.339
 in fear,

00:58:37.460 --> 00:58:37.920
 the Lord

00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:39.000
 doth set

00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:39.500
 his eye,

00:58:39.500 --> 00:58:40.519
 even those

00:58:40.519 --> 00:58:40.920
 who on

00:58:41.460 --> 00:58:42.179

00:58:42.179 --> 00:58:42.960
 confidence

00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:43.940
 rely.

00:58:44.360 --> 00:58:44.760
 The tune

00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:45.599
 is Kilmarnock

00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:45.900
 and we'll

00:58:45.900 --> 00:58:46.519
 stand to

00:58:46.519 --> 00:58:47.079
 sing these

00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:47.760
 verses to

00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:48.139
 God's

00:58:48.139 --> 00:58:48.500
 praise.

00:58:48.500 --> 00:58:48.880
 Amen.

00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:53.300
 Behold,

00:58:53.420 --> 00:58:54.860

00:58:54.860 --> 00:58:56.400
 that do

00:58:56.400 --> 00:58:57.320
 him

00:58:57.320 --> 00:58:58.440
 fear,

00:58:58.699 --> 00:59:00.440
 the Lord

00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:01.719
 doth

00:59:01.719 --> 00:59:02.840
 set

00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:03.940
 his

00:59:03.940 --> 00:59:05.780
 eye,

00:59:06.380 --> 00:59:07.380
 in

00:59:07.380 --> 00:59:08.559
 those

00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:10.239
 who on

00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:15.579

00:59:15.579 --> 00:59:17.820
 confidence

00:59:17.820 --> 00:59:19.779
 rely.

00:59:22.179 --> 00:59:23.059
 From

00:59:23.059 --> 00:59:25.239
 death to

00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:27.460
 flee their

00:59:27.460 --> 00:59:29.639
 soul in

00:59:29.639 --> 00:59:30.299
 death,

00:59:30.299 --> 00:59:31.799
 I've

00:59:31.799 --> 00:59:33.299
 gone to

00:59:33.299 --> 00:59:34.619
 them

00:59:34.619 --> 00:59:35.579
 to

00:59:35.579 --> 00:59:37.299
 yield,

00:59:37.300 --> 00:59:39.300
 our

00:59:39.300 --> 00:59:41.260
 soul doth

00:59:41.260 --> 00:59:42.560
 wait

00:59:42.560 --> 00:59:44.260
 upon

00:59:44.260 --> 00:59:45.300
 the

00:59:45.300 --> 00:59:46.720
 Lord,

00:59:47.100 --> 00:59:49.220
 he is

00:59:49.220 --> 00:59:50.240
 our

00:59:50.240 --> 00:59:51.360
 help

00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:52.300
 and

00:59:52.300 --> 00:59:53.300
 shield.

00:59:55.080 --> 00:59:55.300
 Sif

00:59:56.180 --> 00:59:56.300
 in

00:59:56.300 --> 00:59:58.400
 his

00:59:58.400 --> 00:59:59.300
 holy

00:59:59.300 --> 01:00:00.300
 name

01:00:00.300 --> 01:00:01.300
 we

01:00:01.300 --> 01:00:02.300
 trust,

01:00:02.300 --> 01:00:04.300
 our

01:00:04.300 --> 01:00:05.300
 heart

01:00:05.300 --> 01:00:06.300
 shall

01:00:06.300 --> 01:00:07.300
 joy

01:00:07.300 --> 01:00:08.300
 shall

01:00:08.300 --> 01:00:09.300
 be.

01:00:09.300 --> 01:00:11.300
 Lord,

01:00:12.980 --> 01:00:13.300
 let

01:00:14.039 --> 01:00:14.300
 thy

01:00:15.100 --> 01:00:15.300
 mercy

01:00:16.160 --> 01:00:17.300
 be

01:00:18.300 --> 01:00:19.300
 on

01:00:19.300 --> 01:00:19.860
 us,

01:00:20.260 --> 01:00:21.400
 as

01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:22.300
 we

01:00:22.300 --> 01:00:23.300
 do

01:00:23.300 --> 01:00:24.740
 hope

01:00:24.740 --> 01:00:25.300
 in

01:00:25.820 --> 01:00:26.300
 thee.

01:00:26.300 --> 01:00:29.220
 after

01:00:29.220 --> 01:00:29.400
 the

01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:29.820
 benediction,

01:00:29.940 --> 01:00:30.200
 I'll go

01:00:30.200 --> 01:00:30.480
 to the

01:00:30.480 --> 01:00:30.900
 door to

01:00:30.900 --> 01:00:31.400
 my left.

01:00:31.539 --> 01:00:31.660
 We'll

01:00:31.660 --> 01:00:32.560
 close the

01:00:32.560 --> 01:00:33.019
 benediction.

01:00:34.140 --> 01:00:34.560
 Now may

01:00:34.560 --> 01:00:35.060
 grace,

01:00:35.260 --> 01:00:35.560

01:00:35.560 --> 01:00:36.260
 and peace

01:00:36.260 --> 01:00:37.000
 from God,

01:00:37.240 --> 01:00:37.600
 Father,

01:00:37.820 --> 01:00:38.060
 Son,

01:00:38.140 --> 01:00:38.600

01:00:38.600 --> 01:00:39.060
 Spirit,

01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:40.140
 rest upon

01:00:40.140 --> 01:00:40.740
 and abide

01:00:40.740 --> 01:00:41.300
 with us

01:00:41.300 --> 01:00:41.640
 all,

01:00:42.200 --> 01:00:42.620
 now and

01:00:42.620 --> 01:00:43.380
 forevermore.

01:00:43.800 --> 01:00:44.240
 Amen.

01:00:44.240 --> 01:00:44.320
 Amen.

 Amen.

01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:46.360
 Amen.

 Amen.

 Amen.
