00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.240
 Open up your copy of God's Word to the Book of Romans.

00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:13.919
 It's been a good journey going through this book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.600
 I pray it's been a blessing to everyone's soul.

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.600
 I'm getting towards those final days, final weeks of finishing up this book.

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:31.380
 And today we will be in Romans 15, 14 through 21 will be our text today.

00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:39.219
 But truly Romans is what some people have said, the gospel according to Paul.

00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:48.620
 No other New Testament book gives us so much systematic theology and doctrine of what our salvation and our redemption means.

00:00:48.619 --> 00:00:54.799
 And in chapters 12, all the way up through where we're at today,

00:00:55.419 --> 00:01:01.059
 Paul is now working out again the practical living implications of the gospel.

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:06.759
 So if you have, in fact, believed and had true faith in what he has said in the previous chapters,

00:01:07.420 --> 00:01:14.239
 if you believe those things, then your life will look like the final chapters of Romans.

00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:23.519
 So God's saving grace always leads us to a new life in Christ and what it looks like to follow Jesus.

00:01:24.459 --> 00:01:27.459
 So right thinking lives to right living.

00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:33.119
 And two weeks ago, at the beginning of the chapter, verses 1 through 6,

00:01:33.199 --> 00:01:38.679
 we see that Paul calls the strong believers, those who are mature in Christ,

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.160
 to bear with the weaknesses and failings of weaker believers.

00:01:44.300 --> 00:01:51.020
 Then last week, we looked at how God, with the help of God, the Scripture, etc.,

00:01:51.020 --> 00:01:56.820
 helps us to be patient with one mouth and one mind, we may glorify God.

00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.260
 And so we give verses 8 through 13,

00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.360
 Paul gives more reasons for accepting one another,

00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.979
 showing that Jews and Gentiles are in fact one in Christ,

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.500
 and that that was a part of God's essential outworking of salvation.

00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.400
 That was a part of his great plan for redemptive history,

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:23.840
 was to bring all peoples, Jews and Gentiles, into a single group that glorify him.

00:02:24.579 --> 00:02:28.099
 So Romans is just chock full of gospel salvation.

00:02:28.099 --> 00:02:37.039
 And again, it's like if our salvation was put on trial, Romans would be our case.

00:02:37.299 --> 00:02:44.180
 Like that's what we would want to put forward in a legal sense of how we have been saved and redeemed in Christ.

00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:51.400
 Martin Luther in the Reformation, who obviously, he was sent away to study the Scripture,

00:02:52.340 --> 00:02:57.419
 and Romans is what actually struck him more than any and kind of brought him to true faith.

00:02:57.419 --> 00:02:59.879
 But he wrote about the book of Romans,

00:03:00.019 --> 00:03:04.899
 It is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart,

00:03:05.739 --> 00:03:10.839
 but occupy himself with it every day as the daily bread of the soul.

00:03:11.399 --> 00:03:14.560
 It can never be read or pondered too much.

00:03:15.119 --> 00:03:20.479
 And the more it is dealt with, the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes.

00:03:21.299 --> 00:03:23.919
 So something beautiful about the book of Romans.

00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.099
 So again, we're getting into our text today.

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:34.739
 We see how God used Paul to establish the churches throughout the Gentile world,

00:03:34.979 --> 00:03:38.619
 particularly the way he's referring to is the Roman world.

00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:45.339
 So he explains his unique ministry that God gave him graciously to the Gentiles.

00:03:46.099 --> 00:03:48.179
 And so this is kind of where we pick up today.

00:03:48.279 --> 00:03:49.539
 Let's read our text together.

00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.339
 This is verses 14 through 21.

00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:53.860
 He says,

00:03:53.860 --> 00:03:57.560
 I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,

00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.460
 that you yourselves are full of goodness,

00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.420
 filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:10.659
 But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder,

00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:13.640
 because of the grace given me by God,

00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:17.379
 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles

00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:20.620
 in the priestly service of the gospel of God,

00:04:20.699 --> 00:04:24.459
 so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable,

00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.139
 sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

00:04:28.100 --> 00:04:29.740
 In Christ Jesus, then,

00:04:29.899 --> 00:04:36.360
 I have reason to be proud of my work for God.

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:41.980
 For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me

00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:46.319
 to bring the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,

00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.800
 by the power of signs and wonders,

00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.639
 by the power of the Spirit of God,

00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.480
 so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Iklarim,

00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.160
 I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ.

00:05:01.819 --> 00:05:05.160
 And thus, I make it my ambition to preach the gospel.

00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:08.020
 Not only will Christ have already been named,

00:05:08.660 --> 00:05:10.960
 lest I build on someone else's foundation,

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.720
 but also as it is written,

00:05:14.580 --> 00:05:18.020
 those who have never been told of Him will see,

00:05:18.580 --> 00:05:21.020
 and those who have never heard will understand.

00:05:21.019 --> 00:05:23.620
 And that's our text today.

00:05:23.719 --> 00:05:24.259
 Join me in prayer.

00:05:24.339 --> 00:05:27.459
 Lord, we again just offer up this time to You.

00:05:27.539 --> 00:05:30.419
 I pray that You would just use Your Word

00:05:30.419 --> 00:05:34.319
 to accomplish Your will in our individual lives

00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.379
 and as our corporate body

00:05:36.379 --> 00:05:39.079
 that You would work in and through us.

00:05:39.159 --> 00:05:43.620
 It would have the desired effect that You intended on us.

00:05:44.299 --> 00:05:47.439
 So just help me to communicate clearly

00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.620
 what is here in Your Word.

00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:51.719
 In Christ's name, Amen.

00:05:53.379 --> 00:05:55.519
 So, as I said earlier,

00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.800
 Paul is beginning to explain his unique ministry

00:05:58.800 --> 00:05:59.819
 among the Gentiles

00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:03.279
 and how he planted churches throughout the Gentile world.

00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.060
 And so I have just four points today

00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:08.180
 to help you kind of walk through this verse by verse.

00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:13.959
 But the first one is Paul, the partner in faith.

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.800
 Paul, the partner in faith.

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.400
 This is verses 14 and 15.

00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:19.780
 He says,

00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:22.060
 I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.840
 that you yourselves are full of goodness,

00:06:25.020 --> 00:06:26.259
 filled with all knowledge,

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:27.860
 able to instruct one another.

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.439
 But on some points I have written to you very boldly

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:32.520
 by way of reminder

00:06:32.520 --> 00:06:35.740
 because of the grace given me by God.

00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:38.699
 So it's pretty profound, I think,

00:06:38.780 --> 00:06:41.199
 that Paul actually wrote his greatest letter

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.379
 to a church that he had never been to before.

00:06:44.379 --> 00:06:46.079
 in that kind of while.

00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.560
 Like, he actually had never quite been to Rome yet.

00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.060
 He had hoped to get there,

00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.600
 and that's his plan to come to them.

00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.079
 And eventually, he will eventually go to Rome,

00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:56.439
 which looked, again,

00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:58.980
 the center of the ancient world at this time.

00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.920
 All roads lead to Rome, so to speak.

00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.079
 But he had actually never been there.

00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.259
 So I think it's just profound

00:07:05.259 --> 00:07:07.159
 that he wrote one of his greatest letters

00:07:07.159 --> 00:07:09.740
 to a church that he actually hadn't met in person.

00:07:10.300 --> 00:07:12.219
 So he goes out of his way

00:07:12.219 --> 00:07:15.180
 to assert confidence in them.

00:07:15.779 --> 00:07:18.000
 He says, addressing them, my brothers,

00:07:18.219 --> 00:07:20.620
 meaning he assures them that he is satisfied,

00:07:20.919 --> 00:07:22.639
 that he's fully convinced,

00:07:22.779 --> 00:07:23.680
 fully persuaded

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.319
 that God has worked in them.

00:07:27.060 --> 00:07:29.579
 He says that they are full of goodness,

00:07:29.579 --> 00:07:34.039
 which speaks to the quality of their moral character,

00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:34.959
 their godliness,

00:07:35.259 --> 00:07:36.680
 their godly living.

00:07:37.259 --> 00:07:38.719
 Not necessarily perfect,

00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.740
 but this idea of just growing in the goodness of God.

00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:44.019
 And from whom, right,

00:07:44.099 --> 00:07:45.759
 all goodness comes from.

00:07:46.299 --> 00:07:49.560
 In fact, our English word, God,

00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.099
 comes from the old Saxon term

00:07:52.099 --> 00:07:53.360
 that means the good.

00:07:53.500 --> 00:07:55.079
 That's where we get God from.

00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:56.800
 And so it's saying that

00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.219
 the goodness of God has filled you.

00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:02.639
 Psalm 119, verse 68,

00:08:02.740 --> 00:08:06.659
 it says that you are good and do good.

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.259
 Like God does good

00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:11.199
 out of the overflow of who He is.

00:08:11.979 --> 00:08:12.759
 He is good.

00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:14.199
 So His goodness is given

00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:15.519
 and enabled them

00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.620
 not by their own strength or morality,

00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.879
 but by the Holy Spirit.

00:08:20.099 --> 00:08:23.539
 He is convinced of their moral goodness

00:08:23.540 --> 00:08:24.420
 and godliness.

00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.100
 Now as you read in Galatians 5,

00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.460
 like goodness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit.

00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:34.039
 So that moral goodness is seen

00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.960
 visibly in good works,

00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.779
 which God ordains in the lives of all believers.

00:08:41.940 --> 00:08:43.519
 Then He goes on in verse 15.

00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:44.300
 He goes,

00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:45.899
 but on some points,

00:08:46.060 --> 00:08:48.580
 I've written to you very boldly.

00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:49.680
 Okay?

00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.779
 So before we do that,

00:08:51.779 --> 00:08:52.839
 He also mentions,

00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.360
 I messed up my notes here,

00:08:55.419 --> 00:08:56.100
 so forgive me,

00:08:56.199 --> 00:08:57.659
 but the rest of verse 14,

00:08:58.059 --> 00:08:59.100
 He mentions that

00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:00.879
 they are able to instruct.

00:09:01.439 --> 00:09:03.720
 That's important to sort of point out.

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:05.699
 With all knowledge,

00:09:05.779 --> 00:09:08.059
 able to instruct one another.

00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.240
 And that word instruct

00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:12.019
 means to admonish,

00:09:12.459 --> 00:09:13.240
 to warn,

00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.019
 to give counsel to somebody.

00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:17.699
 And with the knowledge

00:09:17.699 --> 00:09:18.679
 that they've been given

00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.579
 about God and the gospel

00:09:20.579 --> 00:09:22.459
 and the word of God,

00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.259
 from that knowledge,

00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.579
 they are able to counsel

00:09:26.579 --> 00:09:28.439
 one another inside the church.

00:09:29.079 --> 00:09:31.419
 They are able to give advice

00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:32.179
 to one another

00:09:32.179 --> 00:09:35.120
 and warn against wrong conduct.

00:09:35.819 --> 00:09:36.219
 So,

00:09:36.479 --> 00:09:38.079
 He's pointing out

00:09:38.079 --> 00:09:39.979
 to ordinary believers,

00:09:40.199 --> 00:09:41.759
 especially those who are mature

00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.519
 and have a greater level of wisdom,

00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:45.699
 that they ought to give

00:09:45.699 --> 00:09:46.460
 one another

00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:48.480
 just practical living,

00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:49.480
 sound advice

00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:50.919
 on everyday living.

00:09:51.699 --> 00:09:52.019
 And so,

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:53.539
 I think it's amazing

00:09:53.539 --> 00:09:55.720
 that I'm thankful

00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:56.960
 that I see our church

00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.159
 just sort of doing this

00:09:58.159 --> 00:09:59.699
 in so many ways.

00:09:59.779 --> 00:09:59.879
 Like,

00:09:59.939 --> 00:10:01.159
 we have been

00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.360
 blessed with God's word

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.279
 and for many years

00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:05.879
 been blessed

00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:06.840
 with sound teaching

00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:07.860
 in God's word.

00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:09.860
 And that has led to

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:10.899
 all of you

00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:12.259
 counseling one another

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:14.220
 in God's word.

00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:15.899
 admonishing one another,

00:10:16.079 --> 00:10:17.460
 encouraging one another

00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:19.340
 in God's word.

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:21.079
 And that's what the church

00:10:21.079 --> 00:10:22.199
 is supposed to do.

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:22.759
 It isn't just,

00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:23.100
 well,

00:10:23.699 --> 00:10:24.679
 you have a problem,

00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:25.960
 so go talk to the pastors,

00:10:26.259 --> 00:10:26.519
 right?

00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:27.199
 It's,

00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:29.000
 we can counsel one another

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:30.600
 according to

00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.319
 the knowledge and maturity

00:10:32.319 --> 00:10:33.480
 that God has given.

00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:33.860
 So,

00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:35.720
 Paul is saying that to them.

00:10:35.779 --> 00:10:35.919
 Like,

00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:36.740
 I'm convinced

00:10:36.740 --> 00:10:37.399
 that you have

00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:38.740
 all the knowledge

00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:39.980
 and all the truth you need

00:10:39.980 --> 00:10:40.659
 to instruct

00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:42.159
 and counsel

00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:43.199
 one another.

00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:45.080
 And then he goes on

00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:46.240
 to verse 15.

00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:48.100
 On some of these points

00:10:48.100 --> 00:10:48.980
 I've written to you

00:10:48.980 --> 00:10:50.340
 very boldly.

00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:51.680
 So that word

00:10:51.680 --> 00:10:52.860
 boldly means

00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:53.860
 daringly,

00:10:54.680 --> 00:10:55.480
 decisively,

00:10:56.020 --> 00:10:56.500
 openly.

00:10:57.420 --> 00:10:58.660
 So meaning that he hasn't

00:10:58.660 --> 00:10:59.500
 withheld anything

00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:00.220
 from them.

00:11:00.780 --> 00:11:01.259
 Right?

00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:01.860
 There's some stuff

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:02.900
 in Romans that are hard

00:11:02.900 --> 00:11:04.780
 to wrap your head around

00:11:04.780 --> 00:11:05.420
 and he doesn't

00:11:05.420 --> 00:11:06.340
 hold back.

00:11:06.420 --> 00:11:07.220
 He kind of like just

00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:09.140
 says it how it is

00:11:09.140 --> 00:11:10.140
 and lets them

00:11:10.140 --> 00:11:11.440
 hear the truth.

00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.140
 And he declared

00:11:13.140 --> 00:11:14.180
 all the truth

00:11:14.180 --> 00:11:14.720
 that was written

00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:15.440
 in this letter

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:15.920
 to them

00:11:15.920 --> 00:11:17.100
 very boldly.

00:11:17.980 --> 00:11:18.420
 So,

00:11:18.540 --> 00:11:19.160
 then he says

00:11:19.160 --> 00:11:20.340
 by way of reminder.

00:11:21.180 --> 00:11:21.480
 So,

00:11:21.660 --> 00:11:22.480
 in some sense,

00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:23.140
 the church,

00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:24.780
 the believers in Rome

00:11:24.780 --> 00:11:26.420
 did know about

00:11:26.420 --> 00:11:27.300
 some of the things

00:11:27.300 --> 00:11:28.540
 that Paul was writing about.

00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:30.300
 And I was reading

00:11:30.300 --> 00:11:30.840
 on this

00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:31.280
 and at least

00:11:31.280 --> 00:11:32.400
 two different commentators

00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:32.980
 said this

00:11:32.980 --> 00:11:33.480
 and I was like,

00:11:33.500 --> 00:11:33.840
 I don't know

00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.060
 if I really agree with that,

00:11:35.140 --> 00:11:36.600
 but they said that

00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.640
 he was not necessarily

00:11:38.640 --> 00:11:39.660
 pointing out

00:11:39.659 --> 00:11:40.860
 their need

00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:41.679
 to hear all this

00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.839
 because they knew it already.

00:11:43.079 --> 00:11:43.439
 And I'm like,

00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:44.079
 have they understood

00:11:44.079 --> 00:11:44.939
 Romans already?

00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:45.500
 Like,

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:45.939
 they understood

00:11:45.939 --> 00:11:46.699
 the whole book

00:11:46.699 --> 00:11:47.579
 of Romans already?

00:11:47.899 --> 00:11:48.079
 And,

00:11:48.139 --> 00:11:49.219
 I mean,

00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:49.639
 that would be

00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:50.919
 a bit far-fetched to me.

00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:52.179
 But what I would say

00:11:52.179 --> 00:11:52.679
 is that

00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:53.959
 he knew they understood

00:11:53.959 --> 00:11:55.519
 the foundational

00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:56.659
 gospel message.

00:11:57.139 --> 00:11:58.059
 But his desire

00:11:58.059 --> 00:11:59.279
 was to build upon,

00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.159
 enhance that knowledge,

00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:02.100
 to add to it.

00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:04.600
 And as I said before,

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:06.560
 we never move on

00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:07.980
 beyond the gospel,

00:12:08.779 --> 00:12:10.220
 only into a deeper

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:11.700
 understanding of it,

00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:12.700
 a more profound

00:12:12.700 --> 00:12:15.120
 understanding of the gospel.

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.120
 We greatly increased

00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:18.980
 their knowledge of it

00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:20.580
 and added on,

00:12:20.659 --> 00:12:21.240
 built on,

00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:22.659
 to what they already knew

00:12:22.659 --> 00:12:24.180
 in their knowledge.

00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:24.960
 So,

00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:26.519
 I think that that's

00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:27.480
 kind of what we're after

00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:28.560
 in this text.

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:28.860
 So,

00:12:29.259 --> 00:12:30.300
 there may be things

00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:32.019
 that it would be good

00:12:32.019 --> 00:12:33.099
 for you to hear again.

00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:34.799
 Things for me

00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:35.839
 to hear again.

00:12:36.579 --> 00:12:37.679
 And it isn't saying

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:38.679
 that I don't think

00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:39.699
 that you understand

00:12:39.699 --> 00:12:41.620
 the simple gospel,

00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:42.599
 but also,

00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:43.359
 you need to grow

00:12:43.359 --> 00:12:44.399
 in your profoundness

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:44.859
 of it

00:12:44.859 --> 00:12:47.019
 and never tire of it.

00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:49.379
 Continue to grow

00:12:49.379 --> 00:12:50.179
 in your knowledge

00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:50.839
 of the depths

00:12:50.839 --> 00:12:52.620
 of God's salvation

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:53.419
 for you.

00:12:54.219 --> 00:12:55.199
 Everything he's written

00:12:55.199 --> 00:12:55.959
 about in Romans,

00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.259
 redemption,

00:12:58.439 --> 00:12:59.179
 justification,

00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:00.279
 reconciliation,

00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:01.859
 forgiveness,

00:13:02.339 --> 00:13:02.819
 adoption,

00:13:03.019 --> 00:13:03.659
 all these things

00:13:03.659 --> 00:13:04.519
 that he talks about.

00:13:04.599 --> 00:13:04.979
 Election.

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:05.620
 All these things

00:13:05.620 --> 00:13:06.359
 he talks about

00:13:06.359 --> 00:13:07.879
 in the book of Romans.

00:13:07.959 --> 00:13:08.339
 You can spend

00:13:08.339 --> 00:13:09.379
 the rest of your life

00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:10.039
 pondering

00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:11.699
 and never fully,

00:13:11.699 --> 00:13:12.759
 fully grasp

00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:14.319
 all those things

00:13:14.319 --> 00:13:14.879
 that are there.

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:16.939
 This moves us on

00:13:16.939 --> 00:13:19.019
 to point number two.

00:13:20.459 --> 00:13:20.839
 Another,

00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:21.740
 this is verse

00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:22.839
 that Paul played.

00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:24.339
 Point number two,

00:13:24.459 --> 00:13:24.859
 Paul,

00:13:25.199 --> 00:13:25.759
 the priest.

00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:27.759
 This is verse 16.

00:13:28.939 --> 00:13:29.240
 It says,

00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:30.159
 to be a minister

00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:31.639
 of Christ Jesus

00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:32.620
 to the Gentiles

00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:33.899
 in the priestly service

00:13:33.899 --> 00:13:35.799
 of the gospel of God

00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:37.519
 so that the offering

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:38.480
 of the Gentiles

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:39.480
 may be acceptable,

00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:41.139
 sanctified

00:13:41.139 --> 00:13:42.519
 by the Holy Spirit.

00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:44.560
 So you see here,

00:13:44.620 --> 00:13:45.600
 he calls himself

00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:46.340
 a minister

00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:48.240
 of Christ Jesus.

00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:49.600
 That Greek word

00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:50.180
 means like

00:13:50.180 --> 00:13:51.120
 to be subordinate

00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:52.399
 to a public

00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:53.820
 administrator,

00:13:54.620 --> 00:13:55.279
 connecting it

00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:56.080
 maybe to someone

00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:56.840
 who served

00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.160
 in the public

00:13:58.160 --> 00:13:59.400
 worship of God.

00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:01.280
 And that's what

00:14:01.280 --> 00:14:01.660
 he's kind of

00:14:01.660 --> 00:14:02.500
 going after here.

00:14:03.020 --> 00:14:03.580
 It's interesting

00:14:03.580 --> 00:14:04.200
 when you look at

00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:05.280
 the different terms

00:14:05.280 --> 00:14:06.120
 for minister

00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:07.320
 or ministry

00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:08.500
 in the New Testament.

00:14:10.420 --> 00:14:11.080
 You know,

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:11.740
 in our day,

00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:14.400
 being a pastor

00:14:14.400 --> 00:14:15.420
 can be

00:14:15.420 --> 00:14:16.280
 a like

00:14:16.280 --> 00:14:17.520
 cool,

00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:18.900
 glamorous job

00:14:18.900 --> 00:14:20.580
 where pastors

00:14:20.580 --> 00:14:21.500
 get up on Sunday

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:22.379
 and they want to be

00:14:22.379 --> 00:14:23.000
 the guy,

00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:24.220
 the guy in the spotlight,

00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:25.639
 the guy getting

00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:26.200
 the attention

00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.920
 and they're putting

00:14:28.920 --> 00:14:29.779
 on productions

00:14:29.779 --> 00:14:30.580
 more or less

00:14:30.580 --> 00:14:31.580
 to entertain people

00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:34.460
 and they like that.

00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:35.259
 They like being

00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:35.759
 in the center.

00:14:36.460 --> 00:14:37.180
 If you actually know

00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:37.700
 me and Nathan,

00:14:37.779 --> 00:14:38.399
 we don't like

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:39.139
 being up here.

00:14:39.300 --> 00:14:40.399
 It's not our thing.

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:41.200
 We'd rather be

00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:42.980
 behind the scenes

00:14:42.980 --> 00:14:43.720
 doing things

00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:45.500
 but out of compulsion

00:14:45.500 --> 00:14:46.340
 we have preached

00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:46.860
 the gospel

00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:47.560
 when there was

00:14:47.560 --> 00:14:48.519
 no one else

00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:49.420
 able to do it

00:14:49.420 --> 00:14:50.920
 for many years here

00:14:50.920 --> 00:14:52.200
 and we stepped

00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:53.259
 into that role

00:14:53.259 --> 00:14:54.860
 but another word

00:14:54.860 --> 00:14:56.980
 for minister

00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:58.580
 that is used

00:14:58.580 --> 00:14:59.740
 in Luke 4.20

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:01.480
 and Acts 13

00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.480
 this one fits

00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:04.220
 the description

00:15:04.220 --> 00:15:05.000
 well for me.

00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:05.759
 It actually means

00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:06.840
 under rower.

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:08.879
 How many of you

00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:09.299
 have ever seen

00:15:09.299 --> 00:15:10.220
 an old movie

00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:11.700
 where it's like

00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:12.539
 the Roman Empire

00:15:12.539 --> 00:15:12.980
 and they're out

00:15:12.980 --> 00:15:13.740
 in the ships

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:14.600
 and they have the oars?

00:15:15.379 --> 00:15:16.399
 Anybody seen Ben-Hur?

00:15:16.939 --> 00:15:17.779
 Anything like that?

00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:19.259
 It means that

00:15:19.259 --> 00:15:20.340
 you're down there.

00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:21.340
 It means that

00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:23.660
 you are an under rower.

00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:24.920
 Humble,

00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:26.000
 lowly,

00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:27.740
 unrecognizable.

00:15:29.040 --> 00:15:30.000
 Spurgeon wrote this

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.639
 about being a minister

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.200
 of the gospel.

00:15:34.300 --> 00:15:34.680
 He said,

00:15:35.680 --> 00:15:36.519
 we are ministers.

00:15:37.060 --> 00:15:38.019
 The word has

00:15:38.019 --> 00:15:39.120
 a very respectable

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.360
 sound.

00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:42.019
 To be a minister

00:15:42.019 --> 00:15:43.040
 is an aspiration

00:15:43.040 --> 00:15:44.460
 of many youth.

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:45.740
 I mean that

00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:46.920
 that's just cool to them.

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:47.900
 That's what they want to do.

00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:48.759
 Get the attention.

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:49.740
 He says,

00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:51.080
 perhaps if the word

00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:52.320
 were otherwise rendered,

00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:53.680
 their ambition

00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:54.840
 might cool.

00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:57.379
 Ministers are servants.

00:15:58.100 --> 00:15:59.320
 They are not guests,

00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:00.539
 but waiters.

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:02.340
 Not landlords,

00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:03.779
 but laborers.

00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:05.940
 The word

00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:06.879
 has been rendered

00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:08.000
 under rowers.

00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:09.600
 Men who tug

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:10.320
 at the oars

00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:11.720
 on the lowest bench.

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:13.620
 It is hard to work

00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:14.639
 to row a galley.

00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:15.320
 So meaning like

00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:16.379
 a galley ship

00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:17.539
 for like the Roman

00:16:17.539 --> 00:16:19.399
 or Greek triremes.

00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:21.740
 Those on the upper

00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:22.559
 bank

00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:23.740
 had the advantage

00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:24.699
 of fresh air.

00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:26.279
 So those rowers

00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:26.879
 on the top

00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:27.579
 had the advantage

00:16:27.579 --> 00:16:28.539
 of fresh air.

00:16:29.099 --> 00:16:29.599
 Those who were

00:16:29.599 --> 00:16:30.919
 beneath them

00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:31.779
 were more closely

00:16:31.779 --> 00:16:32.579
 shut in.

00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:33.959
 But I suppose

00:16:33.959 --> 00:16:34.579
 that the lowest

00:16:34.579 --> 00:16:35.519
 bank of rowers

00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:36.819
 would faint

00:16:36.819 --> 00:16:38.459
 with heat

00:16:38.459 --> 00:16:39.759
 as well as

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:40.379
 worn out

00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:41.759
 was sore

00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:42.419
 and travail.

00:16:42.419 --> 00:16:43.899
 He says,

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:44.419
 Brethren,

00:16:45.419 --> 00:16:46.759
 let us be content

00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:48.459
 to wear ourselves

00:16:48.459 --> 00:16:49.120
 out

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.500
 in the worst

00:16:50.500 --> 00:16:51.659
 position possible

00:16:51.659 --> 00:16:53.379
 if by our labor

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:54.079
 we can speed

00:16:54.079 --> 00:16:54.639
 the passage

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:55.839
 of our great

00:16:55.839 --> 00:16:56.639
 Caesar

00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.179
 and help

00:16:58.179 --> 00:16:58.819
 the progress

00:16:58.819 --> 00:16:59.959
 of the trireme

00:16:59.959 --> 00:17:00.759
 of the church

00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:02.000
 in which it

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.120
 has embarked.

00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:04.539
 We are willing

00:17:04.539 --> 00:17:05.480
 to be chained

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:06.279
 to the oar

00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.480
 and to work

00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:08.019
 through life

00:17:08.019 --> 00:17:09.019
 to make his

00:17:09.019 --> 00:17:09.799
 oar

00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:10.960
 cleave the waves

00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.460
 with not as captains

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.279
 nor as owners

00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:14.900
 of the galley

00:17:14.900 --> 00:17:15.840
 but as oarsmen

00:17:15.840 --> 00:17:16.559
 of Christ.

00:17:17.140 --> 00:17:17.759
 That's what they did.

00:17:17.840 --> 00:17:18.720
 They chained

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.220
 the slaves

00:17:20.220 --> 00:17:21.759
 to the lower oars

00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:22.579
 so they couldn't

00:17:22.579 --> 00:17:23.259
 just run.

00:17:23.360 --> 00:17:24.500
 They had their life

00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:25.200
 dependent on

00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:26.039
 how they rowed.

00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:27.240
 So he goes like

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:28.380
 let us be content

00:17:28.380 --> 00:17:30.120
 to speed

00:17:30.120 --> 00:17:30.600
 the ship

00:17:30.600 --> 00:17:31.220
 of Christ.

00:17:32.380 --> 00:17:33.519
 Lower oarsmen.

00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:35.000
 So that's what

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:35.900
 this word means.

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.360
 So Paul says

00:17:36.360 --> 00:17:37.340
 he is a minister

00:17:37.340 --> 00:17:39.180
 of Christ Jesus.

00:17:39.380 --> 00:17:39.559
 Right?

00:17:40.360 --> 00:17:40.640
 He goes,

00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:41.340
 he's a minister

00:17:41.340 --> 00:17:42.660
 of the gospel

00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:44.840
 and the gospel

00:17:44.840 --> 00:17:46.360
 is used by Paul

00:17:46.360 --> 00:17:48.280
 but in very rich language.

00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:49.880
 He calls it here

00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:51.000
 the gospel of God.

00:17:51.800 --> 00:17:52.960
 In Romans 1.9

00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.500
 the good news

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:55.440
 of his son.

00:17:56.380 --> 00:17:57.940
 In 1 Corinthians 9.12

00:17:57.940 --> 00:17:58.860
 the good news

00:17:58.860 --> 00:17:59.860
 of Christ.

00:18:00.580 --> 00:18:02.500
 2 Corinthians 4.4

00:18:02.500 --> 00:18:03.280
 the glorious

00:18:03.280 --> 00:18:04.380
 good news.

00:18:05.280 --> 00:18:06.840
 Ephesians 6.15

00:18:06.840 --> 00:18:07.800
 the good news

00:18:07.800 --> 00:18:08.600
 of peace.

00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:10.359
 and in Revelation

00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:11.879
 14.6

00:18:11.879 --> 00:18:13.240
 it's called

00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:14.679
 the everlasting gospel

00:18:14.679 --> 00:18:15.740
 or the everlasting

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:16.179
 representative

00:18:16.179 --> 00:18:17.379
 of the old covenant.

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.379
 I am a representative

00:18:18.379 --> 00:18:19.619
 of the gospel.

00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:21.119
 And so

00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:22.019
 to

00:18:22.019 --> 00:18:23.399
 the Gentiles

00:18:23.399 --> 00:18:24.679
 remember

00:18:24.679 --> 00:18:25.339
 and

00:18:25.339 --> 00:18:26.819
 before Christ

00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:27.279
 came

00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:28.000
 Gentiles

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.279
 were excluded

00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:30.379
 in a huge way

00:18:30.379 --> 00:18:31.059
 from any

00:18:31.059 --> 00:18:33.019
 form of relationship

00:18:33.019 --> 00:18:33.839
 with God.

00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:35.179
 furthermore

00:18:35.179 --> 00:18:36.059
 they were barred

00:18:36.059 --> 00:18:36.679
 from access

00:18:36.679 --> 00:18:37.819
 to the holy places

00:18:37.819 --> 00:18:38.500
 and the temple.

00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:39.740
 They were seen

00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:40.399
 by Jews

00:18:40.399 --> 00:18:41.379
 as unclean

00:18:41.379 --> 00:18:42.740
 defiled.

00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:44.399
 Keep in mind

00:18:44.399 --> 00:18:45.319
 that's most of us

00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:45.659
 in here

00:18:45.659 --> 00:18:46.659
 that's

00:18:46.659 --> 00:18:47.000
 you know

00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:47.419
 anybody

00:18:47.419 --> 00:18:48.879
 outside of

00:18:48.879 --> 00:18:50.259
 the Jewish nation.

00:18:51.259 --> 00:18:51.720
 And he says

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.159
 they were

00:18:52.159 --> 00:18:53.119
 defiled

00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:53.939
 and unclean.

00:18:53.940 --> 00:18:55.420
 but Paul

00:18:55.420 --> 00:18:56.000
 now

00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:56.740
 is writing

00:18:56.740 --> 00:18:57.880
 of how

00:18:57.880 --> 00:18:58.660
 the Gentiles

00:18:58.660 --> 00:18:59.259
 may offer

00:18:59.259 --> 00:19:00.039
 he can offer

00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:01.059
 them to God

00:19:01.059 --> 00:19:02.539
 in an offering

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:03.600
 that is sanctified

00:19:03.600 --> 00:19:04.259
 and fully

00:19:04.259 --> 00:19:04.799
 acceptable

00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:05.620
 to him.

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:07.160
 He has been

00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:08.140
 God's instrument

00:19:08.140 --> 00:19:08.980
 to bring about

00:19:08.980 --> 00:19:10.220
 a great change

00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:11.700
 in the redemptive

00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:12.720
 plan of God

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:13.299
 where he took

00:19:13.299 --> 00:19:14.259
 not just

00:19:14.259 --> 00:19:15.460
 the message

00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:16.460
 the gospel

00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:17.059
 of God

00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:19.019
 to the nations

00:19:19.019 --> 00:19:19.799
 to the Gentile

00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:20.220
 nations

00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:20.759
 not just

00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:21.460
 to the Jews

00:19:21.460 --> 00:19:23.440
 and in this way

00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.180
 he is completely

00:19:24.180 --> 00:19:25.019
 different from

00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:25.740
 Old Testament

00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:26.259
 priests

00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:26.680
 who just

00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:27.319
 mediated

00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:28.579
 for the Jews

00:19:28.579 --> 00:19:29.200
 by offering

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:30.000
 sacrifices

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:31.420
 at the temple.

00:19:32.340 --> 00:19:32.640
 And so

00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:33.340
 remember this

00:19:33.340 --> 00:19:34.079
 like prophets

00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:35.640
 represented

00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:36.640
 God

00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:37.680
 to the people

00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:39.220
 priests

00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:39.799
 represented

00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:40.400
 the people

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:41.220
 to God.

00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:42.640
 What Paul

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:43.400
 is trying to say

00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:44.380
 here is that

00:19:44.380 --> 00:19:46.140
 he is a priest

00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:46.840
 on behalf

00:19:46.840 --> 00:19:47.860
 of the Gentiles.

00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:48.400
 He wants to

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:49.000
 represent

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:50.319
 the Gentiles

00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:51.420
 to God

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:52.680
 and that

00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:53.920
 Gentile

00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:54.620
 converts

00:19:54.620 --> 00:19:56.259
 are the

00:19:56.259 --> 00:19:56.920
 offering

00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:57.400
 that he

00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:58.120
 is giving

00:19:58.120 --> 00:19:58.740
 up to

00:19:58.740 --> 00:19:59.120
 God

00:19:59.120 --> 00:20:00.480
 and asking

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:00.759
 that it

00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:01.100
 would be

00:20:01.100 --> 00:20:01.759
 acceptable

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:02.680
 and pleasing

00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:03.320
 to God

00:20:03.320 --> 00:20:04.460
 and is set

00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:04.940
 apart

00:20:04.940 --> 00:20:05.940
 by the

00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:06.380
 holy

00:20:06.380 --> 00:20:07.300
 sanctified

00:20:07.300 --> 00:20:08.220
 by the

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:08.940
 Holy Spirit.

00:20:09.940 --> 00:20:10.279
 And so

00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:11.340
 if you want

00:20:11.340 --> 00:20:11.519
 to

00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:12.080
 there's just

00:20:12.080 --> 00:20:12.759
 maybe two

00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:13.360
 other places

00:20:13.360 --> 00:20:13.779
 for you to

00:20:13.779 --> 00:20:14.160
 turn but

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.800
 I'll spare

00:20:14.800 --> 00:20:15.960
 you this one

00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:16.220
 I'll just

00:20:16.220 --> 00:20:16.880
 read this to

00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:16.980
 you.

00:20:17.060 --> 00:20:17.320
 This is

00:20:17.320 --> 00:20:18.960
 Acts 9

00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:20.600
 10

00:20:20.600 --> 00:20:21.299
 through 16

00:20:21.299 --> 00:20:21.799
 but this

00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:22.259
 is when

00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:23.600
 Paul

00:20:23.600 --> 00:20:24.640
 had been

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:25.319
 this is

00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:25.720
 after

00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:26.700
 he was

00:20:26.700 --> 00:20:27.120
 confronted

00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:27.819
 by Christ

00:20:27.819 --> 00:20:28.279
 on the road

00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:28.960
 to Damascus

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:29.400
 he was on

00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:29.819
 his way

00:20:29.819 --> 00:20:30.200
 to

00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:31.259
 imprison

00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:32.100
 and possibly

00:20:32.100 --> 00:20:32.600
 kill

00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:33.940
 Christians

00:20:33.940 --> 00:20:34.940
 in Damascus

00:20:34.940 --> 00:20:36.279
 he was set

00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:37.279
 totally against

00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:37.640
 Christ

00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:38.039
 and Christ

00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:38.380
 met him

00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:38.880
 on the road

00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:39.360
 and saved

00:20:39.360 --> 00:20:39.559
 him

00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:40.600
 so now

00:20:40.600 --> 00:20:41.519
 he's blinded

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:41.860
 and he's

00:20:41.860 --> 00:20:42.720
 in Damascus

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:43.920
 and

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.980
 God

00:20:44.980 --> 00:20:45.640
 comes to

00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:46.259
 a believer

00:20:46.259 --> 00:20:47.420
 in Damascus

00:20:47.420 --> 00:20:48.519
 named

00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:49.319
 Ananias

00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:51.120
 says

00:20:51.120 --> 00:20:51.900
 verse 10

00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:53.539
 there was

00:20:53.539 --> 00:20:54.079
 a disciple

00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:54.799
 at Damascus

00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:55.120
 named

00:20:55.120 --> 00:20:55.880
 Ananias

00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:56.960
 the Lord

00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:57.380
 said to

00:20:57.380 --> 00:20:57.700
 him

00:20:57.700 --> 00:20:58.059
 in a

00:20:58.059 --> 00:20:58.420
 vision

00:20:58.420 --> 00:20:59.839
 Ananias

00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:01.259
 he said

00:21:01.259 --> 00:21:01.640
 here I

00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:01.880
 am

00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:02.240
 Lord

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:03.700
 the Lord

00:21:03.700 --> 00:21:04.019
 said to

00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:04.200
 him

00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:04.900
 rise up

00:21:04.900 --> 00:21:05.680
 and go

00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:06.620
 to a

00:21:06.620 --> 00:21:06.920
 street

00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:07.319
 that is

00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:07.779
 called

00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:08.539
 straight

00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:09.700
 and the

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:10.120
 house

00:21:10.120 --> 00:21:10.740
 of Judas

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:11.799
 look for

00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:12.299
 a man

00:21:12.299 --> 00:21:13.119
 of Tarsus

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:13.480
 named

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:13.919
 Saul

00:21:13.919 --> 00:21:15.399
 for behold

00:21:15.399 --> 00:21:16.119
 he is

00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:16.680
 praying

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.059
 and he

00:21:18.059 --> 00:21:18.659
 has seen

00:21:18.659 --> 00:21:19.740
 a vision

00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:20.639
 a man

00:21:20.639 --> 00:21:20.919
 named

00:21:20.919 --> 00:21:21.579
 Ananias

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:22.059
 come and

00:21:22.059 --> 00:21:22.599
 lay hands

00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:23.119
 on him

00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:23.779
 so that

00:21:23.779 --> 00:21:24.119
 he might

00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:24.599
 regain

00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:25.279
 his sight

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:26.819
 but

00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:27.359
 Ananias

00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:27.819
 answered

00:21:27.819 --> 00:21:28.599
 Lord

00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:29.839
 I have

00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:30.220
 heard

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:30.859
 from many

00:21:30.859 --> 00:21:31.399
 about this

00:21:31.399 --> 00:21:31.680
 man

00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:32.099
 how much

00:21:32.099 --> 00:21:32.399
 evil

00:21:32.399 --> 00:21:32.740
 he has

00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:32.980
 done

00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:33.359
 to your

00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:33.819
 saints

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:34.659
 at

00:21:34.659 --> 00:21:35.119
 Jerusalem

00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:36.519
 and there

00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:36.980
 he has

00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:37.559
 the authority

00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:37.960
 from the

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:38.220
 chief

00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:38.659
 priest

00:21:38.659 --> 00:21:39.119
 to bind

00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:39.519
 all

00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:39.720
 who

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.079
 call

00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:40.220
 on

00:21:40.220 --> 00:21:40.339
 your

00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:40.659
 name

00:21:40.659 --> 00:21:40.819
 so

00:21:40.819 --> 00:21:41.240
 he's

00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:41.399
 saying

00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:42.400
 I've

00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:42.540
 heard

00:21:42.540 --> 00:21:42.720
 about

00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:42.880
 this

00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:43.080
 guy

00:21:43.080 --> 00:21:43.280
 he's

00:21:43.280 --> 00:21:43.620
 scary

00:21:43.620 --> 00:21:43.860
 he's

00:21:43.860 --> 00:21:43.980
 out

00:21:43.980 --> 00:21:44.120
 to

00:21:44.120 --> 00:21:44.300
 get

00:21:44.300 --> 00:21:44.480
 us

00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:44.680
 so

00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:44.900
 I'm

00:21:44.900 --> 00:21:45.620
 nervous

00:21:45.620 --> 00:21:46.420
 to go

00:21:46.420 --> 00:21:46.860
 to him

00:21:46.860 --> 00:21:47.880
 and it

00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:48.040
 says

00:21:48.040 --> 00:21:48.360
 but the

00:21:48.360 --> 00:21:48.620
 Lord

00:21:48.620 --> 00:21:48.980
 said

00:21:48.980 --> 00:21:49.380
 to him

00:21:49.380 --> 00:21:49.860
 go

00:21:49.860 --> 00:21:51.900
 for he

00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:52.680
 is a

00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:53.160
 chosen

00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:53.920
 instrument

00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:55.180
 of mine

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:56.180
 to carry

00:21:56.180 --> 00:21:56.920
 my name

00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:57.519
 before the

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.180
 Gentiles

00:21:58.180 --> 00:21:59.240
 and the

00:21:59.240 --> 00:21:59.620
 kings

00:21:59.620 --> 00:21:59.960
 and the

00:21:59.960 --> 00:22:00.220
 children

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:01.019
 of Israel

00:22:01.019 --> 00:22:02.019
 for I

00:22:02.019 --> 00:22:02.560
 will show

00:22:02.560 --> 00:22:02.940
 him

00:22:02.940 --> 00:22:04.100
 how much

00:22:04.100 --> 00:22:04.480
 he must

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:04.860
 suffer

00:22:04.860 --> 00:22:05.540
 for the

00:22:05.540 --> 00:22:05.820
 sake

00:22:05.820 --> 00:22:06.400
 of my

00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:06.880
 name

00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:08.560
 so

00:22:08.560 --> 00:22:09.020
 Paul

00:22:09.020 --> 00:22:10.160
 from the

00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:10.400
 very

00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:10.820
 beginning

00:22:10.820 --> 00:22:12.240
 he was

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:12.880
 God's

00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:13.400
 chosen

00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:14.100
 instrument

00:22:14.100 --> 00:22:15.400
 to go

00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:15.700
 to the

00:22:15.700 --> 00:22:16.340
 Gentiles

00:22:16.340 --> 00:22:17.840
 and that's

00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:18.160
 that's

00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:18.500
 serious

00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:18.800
 it means

00:22:18.800 --> 00:22:19.100
 we should

00:22:19.100 --> 00:22:19.580
 listen to

00:22:19.580 --> 00:22:19.780
 him

00:22:19.780 --> 00:22:20.220
 like God

00:22:20.220 --> 00:22:20.920
 singled him

00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:21.440
 out for

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:21.800
 that

00:22:21.800 --> 00:22:22.920
 purpose

00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:24.220
 and of course

00:22:24.220 --> 00:22:24.680
 he shared

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:25.260
 with Jews

00:22:25.260 --> 00:22:25.840
 along the

00:22:25.840 --> 00:22:26.160
 way

00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:26.620
 but his

00:22:26.620 --> 00:22:27.060
 primary

00:22:27.060 --> 00:22:27.520
 focus

00:22:27.520 --> 00:22:29.020
 was for

00:22:29.020 --> 00:22:29.660
 those who

00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:30.340
 were outside

00:22:30.340 --> 00:22:31.620
 the blessing

00:22:31.620 --> 00:22:32.400
 of Israel

00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:33.720
 and so

00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:34.800
 he is that

00:22:34.800 --> 00:22:35.500
 mediator

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:36.180
 in that sense

00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:36.440
 that he

00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:36.960
 preaches

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:37.620
 God's

00:22:37.620 --> 00:22:38.080
 gospel

00:22:38.080 --> 00:22:39.180
 and carries

00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:39.720
 it to

00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:40.720
 the Gentiles

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:41.960
 and makes

00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:43.080
 that acceptable

00:22:43.080 --> 00:22:43.940
 to God

00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:44.580
 by the

00:22:44.580 --> 00:22:45.360
 Holy Spirit

00:22:45.360 --> 00:22:46.740
 those Gentile

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:47.320
 converts

00:22:47.320 --> 00:22:47.800
 would be

00:22:47.800 --> 00:22:48.519
 his offering

00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:49.660
 to God

00:22:49.660 --> 00:22:51.080
 so to

00:22:51.080 --> 00:22:51.519
 think about

00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:52.140
 this in

00:22:52.140 --> 00:22:53.800
 our ways

00:22:53.800 --> 00:22:55.259
 in what

00:22:55.259 --> 00:22:55.880
 ways has

00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:56.840
 God called

00:22:56.840 --> 00:22:57.860
 and equipped

00:22:57.860 --> 00:22:59.480
 and gifted

00:22:59.480 --> 00:22:59.900
 you

00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:00.680
 directed you

00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:01.200
 to serve

00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:01.580
 him

00:23:01.579 --> 00:23:02.859
 by

00:23:02.859 --> 00:23:03.500
 serving

00:23:03.500 --> 00:23:04.099
 others

00:23:04.099 --> 00:23:05.659
 in what

00:23:05.659 --> 00:23:06.119
 way

00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:06.579
 are you

00:23:06.579 --> 00:23:07.059
 serving

00:23:07.059 --> 00:23:08.299
 and sharing

00:23:08.299 --> 00:23:09.939
 the gospel

00:23:09.939 --> 00:23:10.599
 are you

00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:11.359
 being faithful

00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:12.119
 to that

00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:13.299
 do you

00:23:13.299 --> 00:23:13.659
 know what

00:23:13.659 --> 00:23:14.220
 that is

00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:16.079
 in what

00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:16.639
 ways

00:23:16.639 --> 00:23:17.000
 is God

00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:17.399
 not only

00:23:17.399 --> 00:23:17.759
 working

00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:18.460
 in you

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:18.879
 through

00:23:18.879 --> 00:23:19.699
 sanctification

00:23:19.699 --> 00:23:20.259
 but working

00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:20.839
 out of

00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:21.119
 you

00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:22.079
 through

00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:22.759
 service

00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:23.919
 to others

00:23:23.919 --> 00:23:25.339
 it's

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:25.699
 important

00:23:25.699 --> 00:23:26.299
 to realize

00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:26.639
 those

00:23:26.639 --> 00:23:27.119
 things

00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:28.359
 and like

00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:28.819
 all these

00:23:28.819 --> 00:23:29.460
 roles

00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:30.079
 that

00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:31.240
 Paul

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:31.759
 had

00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:32.139
 he

00:23:32.139 --> 00:23:32.279
 was

00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:32.679
 always

00:23:32.679 --> 00:23:33.059
 pointing

00:23:33.059 --> 00:23:33.579
 forward

00:23:33.579 --> 00:23:34.419
 to

00:23:34.419 --> 00:23:35.139
 Christ

00:23:35.139 --> 00:23:35.339
 and

00:23:35.339 --> 00:23:35.559
 his

00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:36.059
 glory

00:23:36.059 --> 00:23:37.359
 this

00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:37.599
 goes

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:37.879
 on

00:23:37.879 --> 00:23:38.159
 to

00:23:38.159 --> 00:23:39.339
 point

00:23:39.339 --> 00:23:39.579
 number

00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:39.960
 three

00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:41.639
 Paul

00:23:41.639 --> 00:23:42.079
 the

00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:42.500
 preacher

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:43.980
 Paul

00:23:43.980 --> 00:23:44.240
 the

00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:44.579
 preacher

00:23:44.579 --> 00:23:44.919
 this is

00:23:44.919 --> 00:23:45.359
 17

00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:45.759
 through

00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:46.199
 19

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.360
 he

00:23:47.360 --> 00:23:47.559
 says

00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:47.700
 in

00:23:47.700 --> 00:23:48.000
 Christ

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:48.380
 Jesus

00:23:48.380 --> 00:23:48.779
 then

00:23:48.779 --> 00:23:48.980
 I

00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:49.180
 have

00:23:49.180 --> 00:23:49.580
 reason

00:23:49.580 --> 00:23:49.840
 to

00:23:49.840 --> 00:23:50.039
 be

00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:50.600
 proud

00:23:50.600 --> 00:23:51.440
 of

00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:51.640
 my

00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:51.980
 work

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:52.180
 for

00:23:52.180 --> 00:23:52.559
 God

00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:53.680
 for

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:53.799
 I

00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:53.920
 will

00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:54.140
 not

00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:54.580
 venture

00:23:54.580 --> 00:23:54.819
 to

00:23:54.819 --> 00:23:55.039
 speak

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:55.180
 of

00:23:55.180 --> 00:23:55.580
 anything

00:23:55.580 --> 00:23:55.980
 except

00:23:55.980 --> 00:23:56.180
 what

00:23:56.180 --> 00:23:56.519
 Christ

00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:56.680
 has

00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:57.039
 accomplished

00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:57.519
 through

00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:57.860
 me

00:23:57.860 --> 00:23:58.600
 to

00:23:58.600 --> 00:23:58.819
 bring

00:23:58.819 --> 00:23:59.019
 the

00:23:59.019 --> 00:23:59.660
 Gentiles

00:23:59.660 --> 00:23:59.880
 to

00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:00.380
 obedience

00:24:00.380 --> 00:24:00.640
 by

00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:01.100
 word

00:24:01.100 --> 00:24:01.380
 and

00:24:01.380 --> 00:24:01.740
 deed

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:02.559
 by

00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:02.720
 the

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:03.100
 power

00:24:03.100 --> 00:24:03.340
 of

00:24:03.340 --> 00:24:03.700
 signs

00:24:03.700 --> 00:24:03.900
 and

00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:04.279
 wonders

00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:04.480
 by

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:04.640
 the

00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:05.000
 power

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:05.160
 of

00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:05.299
 the

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:05.700
 spirit

00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:05.940
 of

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:06.500
 obedience

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:07.340
 spirit

00:24:07.340 --> 00:24:07.600
 of

00:24:07.600 --> 00:24:07.840
 God

00:24:07.840 --> 00:24:08.080
 excuse

00:24:08.080 --> 00:24:08.259
 me

00:24:08.259 --> 00:24:08.799
 so

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:08.920
 that

00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:09.140
 from

00:24:09.140 --> 00:24:09.660
 Jerusalem

00:24:09.660 --> 00:24:10.500
 and

00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:10.620
 all

00:24:10.620 --> 00:24:10.740
 the

00:24:10.740 --> 00:24:10.920
 way

00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:11.319
 around

00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:12.700
 I

00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:12.900
 have

00:24:12.900 --> 00:24:13.299
 fulfilled

00:24:13.299 --> 00:24:13.559
 the

00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:13.940
 ministry

00:24:13.940 --> 00:24:14.160
 of

00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:14.279
 the

00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:14.620
 gospel

00:24:14.620 --> 00:24:14.880
 of

00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:15.259
 Christ

00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:16.480
 so

00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:16.980
 it's

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:17.299
 important

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:17.500
 to

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:17.840
 realize

00:24:17.840 --> 00:24:18.220
 here

00:24:18.220 --> 00:24:18.799
 that

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.840
 Paul's

00:24:19.840 --> 00:24:20.120
 role

00:24:20.120 --> 00:24:20.360
 was

00:24:20.360 --> 00:24:20.980
 extremely

00:24:20.980 --> 00:24:21.539
 unique

00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:22.259
 he

00:24:22.259 --> 00:24:22.420
 was

00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:22.700
 called

00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:23.140
 again

00:24:23.140 --> 00:24:23.380
 to

00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:23.559
 go

00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:23.740
 to

00:24:23.740 --> 00:24:23.900
 the

00:24:23.900 --> 00:24:24.400
 Gentile

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:24.640
 word

00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:24.819
 a

00:24:24.819 --> 00:24:25.080
 pivotal

00:24:25.080 --> 00:24:25.680
 moment

00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:26.360
 in

00:24:26.360 --> 00:24:27.000
 redemptive

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:27.460
 history

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:27.740
 and he

00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:27.920
 was

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:28.319
 God's

00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:28.720
 instrument

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:28.920
 to

00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:29.100
 do

00:24:29.100 --> 00:24:29.440
 that

00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:30.059
 a

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:30.380
 huge

00:24:30.380 --> 00:24:30.720
 role

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:30.960
 in

00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:31.360
 expanding

00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:31.559
 the

00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:31.900
 church

00:24:31.900 --> 00:24:32.860
 yet

00:24:32.860 --> 00:24:33.680
 he

00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:34.120
 always

00:24:34.120 --> 00:24:34.500
 seeks

00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:34.500


00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:34.640
 to

00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:34.819
 keep

00:24:34.819 --> 00:24:34.819

00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:55.819
 even

00:24:55.819 --> 00:24:56.079
 means

00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:56.660
 rejoice

00:24:56.660 --> 00:24:56.900

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:25.960
 or role

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:26.600
 in God's

00:26:26.600 --> 00:26:26.980
 kingdom

00:26:26.980 --> 00:26:28.860
 rather than

00:26:28.860 --> 00:26:29.620
 on God

00:26:29.620 --> 00:26:30.060
 himself

00:26:30.060 --> 00:26:30.480
 are you

00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:31.360
 concerned

00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:32.120
 more about

00:26:32.120 --> 00:26:32.680
 the temporal

00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:33.520
 rewards

00:26:33.520 --> 00:26:34.380
 of a

00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:34.820
 position

00:26:34.820 --> 00:26:35.200
 that you

00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:35.860
 might hold

00:26:35.859 --> 00:26:37.039
 versus

00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:37.539
 seeing

00:26:37.539 --> 00:26:37.859
 the

00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:38.119
 Lord

00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:38.619
 himself

00:26:38.619 --> 00:26:38.859
 as

00:26:38.859 --> 00:26:39.079
 your

00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:39.859
 reward

00:26:39.859 --> 00:26:41.219
 I

00:26:41.219 --> 00:26:41.379
 think

00:26:41.379 --> 00:26:41.639
 very

00:26:41.639 --> 00:26:41.939
 few

00:26:41.939 --> 00:26:42.339
 people

00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:43.759
 in

00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:43.899
 the

00:26:43.899 --> 00:26:44.199
 scripture

00:26:44.199 --> 00:26:44.659
 maybe

00:26:44.659 --> 00:26:45.079
 it would

00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:45.319
 be a

00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:45.659
 tie

00:26:45.659 --> 00:26:47.079
 between

00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:47.419
 these

00:26:47.419 --> 00:26:47.599
 two

00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:47.979
 guys

00:26:47.979 --> 00:26:48.259
 but

00:26:48.259 --> 00:26:49.379
 John

00:26:49.379 --> 00:26:49.519
 the

00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:49.819
 Baptist

00:26:49.819 --> 00:26:50.539
 and

00:26:50.539 --> 00:26:50.939
 Paul

00:26:50.939 --> 00:26:52.819
 Jesus

00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:53.119
 said

00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:53.379
 about

00:26:53.379 --> 00:26:53.839
 John

00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:55.039
 there

00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:55.219
 is

00:26:55.219 --> 00:26:55.539
 no

00:26:55.539 --> 00:26:56.059
 man

00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:56.359
 born

00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:56.539
 of

00:26:56.539 --> 00:26:56.899
 woman

00:26:56.899 --> 00:26:57.479
 greater

00:26:57.479 --> 00:26:57.939
 than

00:26:57.939 --> 00:26:58.339
 John

00:26:58.339 --> 00:26:59.000
 so

00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:00.159
 contemplate

00:27:00.159 --> 00:27:00.500
 that

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:03.079
 and

00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:04.099
 remember

00:27:04.099 --> 00:27:04.399
 when

00:27:04.399 --> 00:27:04.719
 John

00:27:04.719 --> 00:27:05.019
 first

00:27:05.019 --> 00:27:05.199
 came

00:27:05.199 --> 00:27:05.339
 on

00:27:05.339 --> 00:27:05.500
 the

00:27:05.500 --> 00:27:05.740
 scene

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:05.940
 like

00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:06.059
 he

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:06.240
 was

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:06.440
 the

00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:06.940
 stuff

00:27:06.940 --> 00:27:07.940
 like

00:27:07.940 --> 00:27:08.220
 all

00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:08.380
 the

00:27:08.380 --> 00:27:08.599
 people

00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:08.799
 were

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:09.120
 going

00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:09.299
 to

00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:09.500
 see

00:27:09.500 --> 00:27:09.759
 him

00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:09.900
 they

00:27:09.900 --> 00:27:10.019
 were

00:27:10.019 --> 00:27:10.420
 flocking

00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:10.579
 to

00:27:10.579 --> 00:27:10.700
 him

00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:10.859
 from

00:27:10.859 --> 00:27:11.220
 everywhere

00:27:11.220 --> 00:27:12.120
 he

00:27:12.120 --> 00:27:12.279
 had

00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:12.440
 the

00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:12.740
 big

00:27:12.740 --> 00:27:13.319
 crowds

00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:13.599
 he

00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:13.779
 was

00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:14.019
 like

00:27:14.019 --> 00:27:14.220
 the

00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:14.579
 man

00:27:14.579 --> 00:27:15.720
 everybody

00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:16.019
 was

00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:16.279
 going

00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:16.539
 to

00:27:16.539 --> 00:27:17.180
 watch

00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:18.519
 and

00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:19.220
 his

00:27:19.220 --> 00:27:19.779
 baptism

00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:20.279
 for

00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:21.640
 the

00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:22.059
 remission

00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:22.279
 of

00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:22.660
 sin

00:27:22.660 --> 00:27:24.039
 and

00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:25.259
 eventually

00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:25.680
 right

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:26.079
 Jesus

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:26.960
 came

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:27.140
 on

00:27:27.140 --> 00:27:27.279
 the

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:27.559
 scene

00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:28.759
 and

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:29.079
 all

00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:29.240
 the

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:29.519
 people

00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:30.140
 stopped

00:27:30.140 --> 00:27:30.440
 going

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:30.620
 to

00:27:30.620 --> 00:27:30.940
 see

00:27:30.940 --> 00:27:31.980
 John

00:27:31.980 --> 00:27:32.940
 and

00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:33.200
 started

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:33.579
 to go

00:27:33.579 --> 00:27:33.819
 see

00:27:33.819 --> 00:27:34.200
 Jesus

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:34.759
 instead

00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:36.660
 so you

00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:36.980
 pick up

00:27:36.980 --> 00:27:37.440
 on that

00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:38.759
 so put

00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:39.079
 yourself

00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:39.279
 in

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:39.619
 John's

00:27:39.619 --> 00:27:40.079
 position

00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.900
 oh man

00:27:42.900 --> 00:27:44.000
 I'm like

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:44.359
 not as

00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:44.779
 popular

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:45.099
 or not

00:27:45.099 --> 00:27:45.559
 as cool

00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:46.059
 anymore

00:27:46.059 --> 00:27:47.980
 and that's

00:27:47.980 --> 00:27:48.200
 not

00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:48.839
 that was not

00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:49.240
 John's

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:49.539
 attitude

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:50.000
 but his

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:50.240
 some of

00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:50.500
 the men

00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:50.680
 who

00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:51.220
 John

00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:51.900
 discipled

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:53.140
 came to

00:27:53.140 --> 00:27:53.379
 him

00:27:53.379 --> 00:27:53.839
 and basically

00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:54.379
 said that

00:27:54.379 --> 00:27:54.660
 though

00:27:54.660 --> 00:27:55.200
 they came

00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:55.440

 him

00:27:58.119 --> 00:27:58.400
 Rabbi

00:33:49.500 --> 00:33:49.759
 started

00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:49.980
 the

00:33:49.980 --> 00:33:50.359
 church

00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:51.319
 at

00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:51.899
 Colossae

00:33:51.899 --> 00:33:52.519
 so

00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:53.500
 by

00:33:53.500 --> 00:33:53.960
 that

00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:54.240
 he

00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:54.579
 bringing

00:33:54.579 --> 00:33:54.799
 the

00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:55.179
 gospel

00:33:55.179 --> 00:33:55.439
 to

00:33:55.439 --> 00:33:55.639
 all

00:33:55.639 --> 00:33:55.799
 the

00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:56.319
 outlying

00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:56.919
 areas

00:33:56.919 --> 00:33:57.960
 and

00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:58.240
 so

00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:59.339
 this

00:33:59.339 --> 00:33:59.599
 leaves

00:33:59.599 --> 00:33:59.759
 us

00:33:59.759 --> 00:33:59.939
 with

00:33:59.939 --> 00:34:00.099
 the

00:34:00.099 --> 00:34:00.339
 last

00:34:00.339 --> 00:34:00.700
 point

00:34:00.700 --> 00:34:01.839
 point

00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:02.079
 number

00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:02.539
 four

00:34:02.539 --> 00:34:04.539
 Paul

00:34:04.539 --> 00:34:05.119
 the

00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:05.659
 pioneer

00:34:05.659 --> 00:34:07.819
 this

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:07.960
 is

00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:08.179
 verse

00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:08.539
 20

00:34:08.539 --> 00:34:08.699
 through

00:34:08.699 --> 00:34:09.279
 21

00:34:09.279 --> 00:34:10.279
 he

00:34:10.279 --> 00:34:10.460
 says

00:34:10.460 --> 00:34:10.900
 and thus

00:34:10.900 --> 00:34:11.119
 I

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:11.500
 make it

00:34:11.500 --> 00:34:11.719
 my

00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:12.139
 ambition

00:34:12.139 --> 00:34:12.500
 to

00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:12.840
 preach

00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:13.099
 the

00:34:13.099 --> 00:34:13.519
 gospel

00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:14.599
 not

00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:14.779
 where

00:34:14.780 --> 00:34:15.100
 Christ

00:34:15.100 --> 00:34:15.260
 has

00:34:15.260 --> 00:34:15.580
 already

00:34:15.580 --> 00:34:15.820
 been

00:34:15.820 --> 00:34:16.140
 named

00:34:16.140 --> 00:34:16.420
 unless

00:34:16.420 --> 00:34:16.580
 I

00:34:16.580 --> 00:34:16.800
 built

00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:16.980
 on

00:34:16.980 --> 00:34:17.280
 someone

00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:17.680
 else's

00:34:17.680 --> 00:34:18.200
 foundation

00:34:18.200 --> 00:34:19.300
 but

00:34:19.300 --> 00:34:19.560
 as

00:34:19.560 --> 00:34:19.680
 it

00:34:19.680 --> 00:34:19.860
 is

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:20.160
 written

00:34:20.160 --> 00:34:21.180
 those

00:34:21.180 --> 00:34:21.360
 who

00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:21.560
 have

00:34:21.560 --> 00:34:21.960
 never

00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:22.200
 been

00:34:22.200 --> 00:34:22.500
 told

00:34:22.500 --> 00:34:22.660
 of

00:34:22.660 --> 00:34:22.860
 them

00:34:22.860 --> 00:34:23.060
 will

00:34:23.060 --> 00:34:23.380
 see

00:34:23.380 --> 00:34:24.660
 those

00:34:24.660 --> 00:34:24.820
 who

00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:24.900
 have

00:34:24.900 --> 00:34:25.100
 never

00:34:25.100 --> 00:34:25.540
 heard

00:34:25.540 --> 00:34:25.760
 will

00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:26.420
 understand

00:34:26.420 --> 00:34:27.900
 so

00:34:27.900 --> 00:34:28.440
 Paul's

00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:28.780
 main

00:34:28.780 --> 00:34:29.240
 focus

00:34:29.240 --> 00:34:29.680
 and it

00:34:29.680 --> 00:34:29.820
 should

00:34:29.820 --> 00:34:29.980
 be

00:34:29.980 --> 00:34:30.340
 ours

00:34:30.340 --> 00:34:30.540
 as

00:34:30.540 --> 00:34:30.800
 well

00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:32.040
 is

00:34:32.040 --> 00:34:32.200
 to

00:34:32.200 --> 00:34:32.620
 preach

00:34:32.620 --> 00:34:32.920
 the

00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:33.360
 gospel

00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:34.420
 he

00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:34.800
 says

00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:34.960
 in

00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:35.640
 areas

00:34:35.640 --> 00:34:36.620
 where

00:34:36.620 --> 00:34:37.320
 the

00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:37.600
 name

00:34:37.600 --> 00:34:37.760
 of

00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:38.000
 Christ

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:38.160
 has

00:34:38.160 --> 00:34:38.340
 not

00:34:38.340 --> 00:34:38.519
 yet

00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:38.700
 been

00:34:38.700 --> 00:34:39.100
 spoken

00:34:39.100 --> 00:34:40.180
 the

00:34:40.180 --> 00:34:40.400
 name

00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:40.540
 of

00:34:40.540 --> 00:34:40.840
 Christ

00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:41.000
 has

00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:41.140
 not

00:34:41.140 --> 00:34:41.340
 been

00:34:41.340 --> 00:34:41.720
 heard

00:34:41.720 --> 00:34:42.320
 there

00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:42.559
 no

00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:43.000
 churches

00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:43.740
 planted

00:34:43.740 --> 00:34:44.600
 this

00:34:44.600 --> 00:34:44.760
 is what

00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:45.039
 we would

00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:45.360
 call

00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:45.920
 in missions

00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:46.180
 the

00:34:46.180 --> 00:34:46.860
 unreached

00:34:46.860 --> 00:34:47.380
 peoples

00:34:47.380 --> 00:34:48.800
 people

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:48.980
 that

00:34:48.980 --> 00:34:49.180
 have

00:34:49.180 --> 00:34:49.400
 no

00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:49.760
 access

00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:50.200
 to

00:34:50.200 --> 00:34:50.559
 the

00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:50.860
 bible

00:34:50.860 --> 00:34:51.960
 or to

00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:52.120
 the

00:34:52.120 --> 00:34:52.519
 gospel

00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:52.800
 to

 the

00:34:52.940 --> 00:34:53.360
 church

00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:54.340
 and

00:34:54.340 --> 00:34:54.660
 so

00:34:54.660 --> 00:34:55.640
 he

00:34:55.640 --> 00:34:55.760
 said

00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:56.160
 thereby

00:34:56.160 --> 00:34:56.660
 right

00:34:56.660 --> 00:34:57.220

 the

00:34:57.599 --> 00:34:58.079
 prophecy

00:34:58.079 --> 00:34:58.640
 spoken

00:34:58.640 --> 00:34:58.920
 in

00:34:58.920 --> 00:34:59.380
 Isaiah

00:34:59.380 --> 00:34:59.980
 52

00:34:59.980 --> 00:35:01.360

 he

00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:03.160
 says

00:35:03.160 --> 00:35:04.340
 Isaiah

00:35:04.340 --> 00:35:04.700
 said

00:35:04.700 --> 00:35:04.980
 almost

00:35:04.980 --> 00:35:05.340
 700

00:35:05.340 --> 00:35:05.940
 years

00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:06.460
 prior

00:35:06.460 --> 00:35:07.800
 he

00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:08.079
 the

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:08.519
 Messiah

00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:08.780
 will

00:35:08.780 --> 00:35:09.160
 sprinkle

00:35:09.160 --> 00:35:09.500
 many

00:35:09.500 --> 00:35:10.039
 nations

00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:10.940
 kings

00:35:10.940 --> 00:35:11.160
 will

00:35:11.160 --> 00:35:11.380
 shut

00:35:11.380 --> 00:35:11.599
 their

00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:12.059

00:35:12.059 --> 00:35:12.240
 on

00:35:12.240 --> 00:35:12.539
 account

00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:12.720
 of

00:35:12.720 --> 00:35:12.980
 him

00:35:12.980 --> 00:35:13.680
 for

00:35:13.680 --> 00:35:13.940
 what

00:35:13.940 --> 00:35:14.539
 they

00:35:14.539 --> 00:35:14.760
 have

00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:15.039
 not

00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:15.340
 been

00:35:15.340 --> 00:35:15.700
 told

00:35:15.700 --> 00:35:15.960
 they

00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:16.140
 will

00:35:16.140 --> 00:35:16.500
 see

00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:17.400
 what

00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:17.559
 they

00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:17.660
 have

00:35:17.660 --> 00:35:17.840
 not

00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:18.300
 heard

00:35:18.300 --> 00:35:19.240
 they

00:35:19.240 --> 00:35:19.380
 will

00:35:19.380 --> 00:35:20.079
 understand

00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:21.220
 so

00:35:21.220 --> 00:35:21.460
 his

00:35:21.460 --> 00:35:21.960
 desire

00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:22.340
 was to

00:35:22.340 --> 00:35:22.559
 find

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:22.880
 new

00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:23.480
 territory

00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:24.559
 where

00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:25.000
 he

00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:25.140
 could

00:35:25.140 --> 00:35:25.480
 preach

00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:25.800
 the

00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:26.220
 gospel

00:35:26.220 --> 00:35:27.160
 which

00:35:27.160 --> 00:35:27.640
 explains

00:35:27.640 --> 00:35:27.900
 in the

00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:28.200
 following

00:35:28.200 --> 00:35:28.579
 verses

00:35:28.579 --> 00:35:28.820
 why

00:35:28.820 --> 00:35:28.920
 he

00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:29.059
 wants

00:35:29.059 --> 00:35:29.180
 to

00:35:29.180 --> 00:35:29.360
 go

00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:29.640
 to

00:35:29.640 --> 00:35:30.079
 Spain

00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:31.320
 which

00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:31.700
 I

00:35:31.700 --> 00:35:31.960
 have

00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:33.000
 believed

00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:33.119
 that

00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:33.220
 he

00:35:33.220 --> 00:35:33.460
 actually

00:35:33.460 --> 00:35:33.680
 did

00:35:33.680 --> 00:35:33.860
 end

00:35:33.860 --> 00:35:34.019
 up

00:35:34.019 --> 00:35:34.160
 in

00:35:34.160 --> 00:35:34.460
 Spain

00:35:34.460 --> 00:35:35.680
 since

00:35:35.680 --> 00:35:36.039
 he's

00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:36.220
 kind

00:35:36.220 --> 00:35:36.340
 of

00:35:36.340 --> 00:35:36.619
 gone

00:35:36.619 --> 00:35:36.900
 around

 Mediterranean

00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:38.119
 world

00:39:37.859 --> 00:39:38.099
 of

00:39:38.099 --> 00:39:38.440
 God

00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:39.460
 and

00:39:39.460 --> 00:39:39.619
 we

00:39:39.619 --> 00:39:39.759

00:39:39.759 --> 00:39:39.960
 play

00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:40.159
 that

00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:40.359
 role

00:39:40.359 --> 00:39:40.659
 here

00:39:40.659 --> 00:39:41.159
 we

00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:41.319
 can

00:39:41.319 --> 00:39:41.679
 preach

00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:41.839
 the

00:39:41.839 --> 00:39:42.139
 gospel

00:39:42.139 --> 00:39:42.420
 where

00:39:42.420 --> 00:39:42.579
 we

00:39:42.579 --> 00:39:42.699
 are

00:39:42.699 --> 00:39:43.000
 at

00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:43.880
 we

00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:44.000
 can

00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:44.139
 be

00:39:44.139 --> 00:39:44.539
 involved

00:39:44.539 --> 00:39:44.699
 in

 I ask

00:39:49.759 --> 00:39:50.099

 you

 is

00:39:59.400 --> 00:39:59.960
 abroad

00:39:59.960 --> 00:40:01.079
 and

00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:01.400
 the

00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:01.920
 so-called

00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:02.599

00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:03.000
 that are

00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:03.400
 out there

00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:03.779
 going

00:40:03.779 --> 00:40:04.119
 to

00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:05.059
 places

00:40:05.059 --> 00:40:05.219
 where

00:40:05.219 --> 00:40:05.359
 there

00:40:05.359 --> 00:40:05.539
 is

 no

00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:06.119
 church

 Bible

00:40:06.819 --> 00:40:08.119
 and

00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:08.539
 to

00:40:08.539 --> 00:40:08.879
 bring

00:40:08.879 --> 00:40:11.019
 new

00:40:11.019 --> 00:40:11.440
 converts

00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:12.019
 from all

00:40:12.019 --> 00:40:12.159
 these

00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:12.440
 different

00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:12.900
 nations

00:40:12.900 --> 00:40:13.920
 into

00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:14.279
 one

00:40:14.279 --> 00:40:14.659
 people

00:40:14.659 --> 00:40:14.960
 that

00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:15.039
 we

00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:15.259
 might

00:40:15.259 --> 00:40:15.719
 glorify

00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:16.199
 God

00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:16.420
 with

00:40:16.420 --> 00:40:16.779
 one

00:40:16.779 --> 00:40:17.379
 voice

00:40:17.379 --> 00:40:18.559
 so

00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:19.059
 let's

00:40:19.059 --> 00:40:19.279
 pray

00:40:19.279 --> 00:40:19.480
 that

00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:19.739
 that

00:40:19.739 --> 00:40:20.480
 happens

00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:20.840
 this

00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:21.019
 isn't

00:40:21.019 --> 00:40:21.259
 our

00:40:21.259 --> 00:40:21.539
 home

00:40:21.539 --> 00:40:22.360
 we're

00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:22.500
 not

00:40:22.500 --> 00:40:22.659
 meant

00:40:22.659 --> 00:40:22.799
 to

00:40:22.799 --> 00:40:22.940
 be

00:40:22.940 --> 00:40:23.139
 here

00:40:23.139 --> 00:40:23.500
 forever

00:40:23.500 --> 00:40:24.779
 it's

00:40:24.779 --> 00:40:24.920
 all

00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:25.039
 going

00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:25.119
 to

00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:25.259
 come

00:40:25.259 --> 00:40:25.400
 to

00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:25.539
 an

00:40:25.539 --> 00:40:25.840
 end

00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:26.940
 so

00:40:26.940 --> 00:40:27.099
 how

00:40:27.099 --> 00:40:27.199
 does

00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:27.320
 that

00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:27.639
 alter

00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:27.860
 your

00:40:27.860 --> 00:40:28.279
 thinking

00:40:28.279 --> 00:40:28.599
 about

00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:28.820
 what

00:40:28.820 --> 00:40:29.119
 you're

00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:29.679
 pursuing

00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:30.000
 and

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:30.340
 doing

00:40:30.340 --> 00:40:30.639
 right

00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:31.019
 now

00:40:31.019 --> 00:40:32.840
 live

00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:32.980
 for

00:40:32.980 --> 00:40:33.380
 Christ

00:40:33.380 --> 00:40:33.539
 and

00:40:33.539 --> 00:40:33.719
 his

00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:34.099
 kingdom

00:40:34.099 --> 00:40:34.380
 and

00:40:34.380 --> 00:40:34.460
 it

00:40:34.460 --> 00:40:34.599
 will

00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:34.840
 not

00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:35.219
 fail

00:40:35.219 --> 00:40:36.199
 so

00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:36.360
 this

00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:36.480
 is

00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:36.619
 what

00:40:36.619 --> 00:40:36.980
 Paul

00:40:36.980 --> 00:40:37.199
 is

00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:37.440
 saying

00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:37.599
 that

00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:37.719
 he

00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:38.279
 glories

00:40:38.279 --> 00:40:38.500
 in

00:40:38.500 --> 00:40:38.679
 what

00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:39.039
 God

00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:39.179
 has

00:40:39.179 --> 00:40:39.519
 accomplished

00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:39.900
 through

00:40:39.900 --> 00:40:40.239
 him

00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:41.059
 and

00:40:41.059 --> 00:40:41.259
 his

00:40:41.259 --> 00:40:41.699
 ministry

00:40:41.699 --> 00:40:41.880
 to

00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:42.059
 the
