00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.940
 Please take your copy of God's Word and join me in Acts chapter 16.

00:00:05.940 --> 00:00:10.359
! The book of Acts chapter 16.

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:13.080
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:37.000
 The record of Jesus' earthly ministry, now His second being the record of Jesus' ascended ministry,

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.539
 through the agency of the Holy Spirit in the lives of His church.

00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:48.359
 See in chapter 1, verse 8, the command for them to be still,

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.480
 and when they receive power from the Holy Spirit,

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:57.900
 that they'll be Jesus' witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

00:00:57.899 --> 00:01:00.060
 So, we find this happening.

00:01:00.219 --> 00:01:03.299
 We find ourselves in the midst of this narrative.

00:01:04.019 --> 00:01:08.719
 The Gospel witness of Stephen in chapter 7

00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.879
 finds him at the end of chapter 7 as the first Christian martyr.

00:01:13.039 --> 00:01:17.259
 And a man named Saul, who we are now calling Paul in our text,

00:01:17.379 --> 00:01:22.140
 his Roman name, stood and gave approval of such a thing.

00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:25.599
 And this event scattered the church abroad.

00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.140
 It was the hinge on which the gates swung open.

00:01:30.339 --> 00:01:35.859
 And now, Paul himself, having been saved by grace some chapters later in our narrative,

00:01:36.039 --> 00:01:43.239
 is a major agent in this to the ends of the earth effort of the ascended Christ

00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:47.299
 by the agency of the Spirit in his life.

00:01:48.259 --> 00:01:54.139
 So, we find ourselves here witnessing a portion of Paul's second missionary journey.

00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:56.459
 He's completed the first with Barnabas.

00:01:56.540 --> 00:01:59.700
 They found themselves back in Antioch.

00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:01.939
 And we saw in the past couple of weeks,

00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.200
 Paul part ways with Barnabas in Antioch

00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.900
 and take Silas with him to Derbe and Lystra,

00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.340
 where they pick up Timothy to join them.

00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:15.680
 So, the missionary band of two becomes three.

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:16.860
 And we saw last week,

00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:20.420
 Timothy exercised his freedom in Christ

00:02:20.419 --> 00:02:23.399
 for the sake of the souls of those Jews in the region

00:02:23.399 --> 00:02:25.879
 by being circumcised.

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.119
 And we concluded in verse 5,

00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.779
 so the churches were strengthened in the faith

00:02:31.779 --> 00:02:35.399
 and they increased in numbers daily.

00:02:36.399 --> 00:02:40.779
 And so, that's the stage set for verses 6 through 10.

00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:41.899
 And so, before we read it,

00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.779
 let me remind you that this is God's Word to us.

00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:49.280
 It was written for His glory and for our good.

00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.939
 And we would all do well to listen to it

00:02:51.939 --> 00:02:53.719
 in order to believe its promises

00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.280
 and obey its commands.

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.319
 And I begin reading in verse 6 of Acts chapter 16.

00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.519
 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia,

00:03:06.219 --> 00:03:07.979
 having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit

00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:09.879
 to speak the Word in Asia.

00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:12.139
 And when they had come up to Mysia,

00:03:12.259 --> 00:03:13.799
 they attempted to go into Bithynia,

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.000
 but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

00:03:16.900 --> 00:03:18.719
 So, passing by Mysia,

00:03:18.799 --> 00:03:20.379
 they went down to Troas.

00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.139
 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night.

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.780
 A man of Macedonia was standing there,

00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:27.199
 urging him and saying,

00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.659
 come over to Macedonia and help us.

00:03:31.399 --> 00:03:33.159
 And when Paul had seen the vision,

00:03:33.739 --> 00:03:36.679
 immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia,

00:03:36.819 --> 00:03:39.060
 concluding that God had called us

00:03:39.060 --> 00:03:41.759
 to preach the Gospel to them.

00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.479
 So, let's continue to set the stage a bit

00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.799
 so as to wrap our minds around

00:03:47.799 --> 00:03:49.879
 where Paul and his companions are traveling

00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.859
 before we consider what we should

00:03:52.860 --> 00:03:57.660
 and what we shouldn't learn from such a text.

00:03:57.900 --> 00:04:00.020
 And so, in the hopes of serving you,

00:04:00.100 --> 00:04:01.860
 I've got a map we're going to put up here,

00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:03.920
 although the details of it are tiny.

00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:06.660
 I have a laser pointer pen whose batteries are dead,

00:04:06.820 --> 00:04:08.040
 so I was going to point for you.

00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.200
 If you're using the ESV translation of the Bible,

00:04:14.320 --> 00:04:16.520
 you likely have this exact same map in the back.

00:04:16.580 --> 00:04:18.580
 So, if it helps you to be able to see it

00:04:18.580 --> 00:04:19.980
 a little bit better,

00:04:20.340 --> 00:04:22.000
 to give you some help.

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.939
 First, this is Paul's first and second missionary journey,

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.000
 both of which started in Antioch,

00:04:29.060 --> 00:04:30.920
 which is up in the northwest corner of Syria.

00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.319
 You can actually see it labeled starting point

00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:34.779
 if you can read that from where you are.

00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.339
 The little word bubble says starting point there.

00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:39.540
 The first missionary journey,

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:40.839
 they set out him and Barnabas

00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.139
 and went to Cyprus first,

00:04:42.459 --> 00:04:44.860
 and they worked in this clockwise direction

00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:48.420
 going through Lystra, Iconium, and Derbe,

00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:51.459
 and then they cycled back around back to Antioch.

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.899
 Chapter 14, the Jerusalem Council.

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.519
 They're back in Antioch now.

00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.839
 They've likely been there for about two years.

00:04:58.379 --> 00:05:00.120
 Paul and Barnabas part ways,

00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.199
 and this time, Paul leaves with Silas,

00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.720
 and he goes counterclockwise

00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:10.120
 through Tarsus to Derbe and Lystra.

00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:11.240
 I can't, I can't, I can't mind.

00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:12.879
 I'm just going to walk up a point.

00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:13.480
 I'm not that tall.

00:05:14.280 --> 00:05:16.600
 So you're seeing the region of Galatia comes down,

00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:17.579
 reaches down in there,

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.019
 and you're seeing the two cities at the bottom of that,

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.540
 Derbe, Lystra, Iconium, just north of that.

00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.379
 So that's where they've picked up Timothy

00:05:24.379 --> 00:05:25.860
 in this region,

00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:29.439
 and they're now beginning to travel around Galatia,

00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.660
 and Phrygia is what our text says for us.

00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:34.860
 Now, Phrygia, you may or may not be able to see

00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:37.420
 as running, they've got the word running parallel up like this.

00:05:37.640 --> 00:05:40.620
 It was a sub-region of Galatia.

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.020
 So complicated ancient times, Roman rule,

00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:46.440
 they're always dividing and pushing lines out

00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:48.060
 and having governors of various regions.

00:05:48.180 --> 00:05:52.800
 So it's a sub-region of Galatia, right?

00:05:52.900 --> 00:05:56.000
 And they're traveling around in this area,

00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:57.500
 and the text says,

00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:01.060
 having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit

00:06:01.060 --> 00:06:03.519
 to speak the word in Asia.

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.779
 Now, if you will track with me

00:06:05.779 --> 00:06:10.819
 and note the way the solid arrow goes up from there, right?

00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:12.120
 It goes up through where?

00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.279
 The region of Asia.

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:16.480
 So isn't it interesting in our text

00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.420
 that the text records they were traveling about

00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:21.220
 in Phrygia and Galatia.

00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.420
 Our previous text from last week,

00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:24.699
 the beginning of Acts chapter 16,

00:06:24.699 --> 00:06:26.199
 says they were going about

00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:27.920
 and they were preaching the gospel

00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:29.959
 in the form of delivering this letter

00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.579
 that the Jerusalem Council had formed

00:06:32.579 --> 00:06:34.399
 to inform the Gentile believers

00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.019
 that they didn't need any further burden,

00:06:37.420 --> 00:06:39.659
 meaning they didn't need to be circumcised

00:06:39.659 --> 00:06:41.919
 to keep the Old Testament commanded of circumcision.

00:06:42.039 --> 00:06:43.719
 So they're going around strengthening churches

00:06:43.719 --> 00:06:45.659
 in these places.

00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:46.899
 So when you read it, it's interesting

00:06:46.899 --> 00:06:49.240
 because the way the ESV punctuates it,

00:06:49.300 --> 00:06:51.620
 it seems like they're traveling

00:06:51.620 --> 00:06:53.800
 in the regions of Phrygia and Galatia

00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.560
 because they've been forbidden

00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.319
 by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:00.860
 But then quickly after that,

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:01.840
 they go into Asia.

00:07:02.259 --> 00:07:02.840
 Isn't that interesting?

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.580
 I'm not sure that the punctuation follows.

00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:07.819
 Maybe it does,

00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:09.960
 and we don't need to get into it this morning.

00:07:10.540 --> 00:07:12.100
 But in brief, it almost seems like it should say,

00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:13.319
 and they went through the region of Phrygia

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:14.840
 and Galatia, period,

00:07:16.139 --> 00:07:17.580
 having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit

00:07:17.580 --> 00:07:18.800
 to speak the word in Asia,

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.520
 and when they had come up to Mysia.

00:07:22.180 --> 00:07:23.920
 Are you tracking my logic there?

00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:24.819
 Because they're in a region

00:07:24.819 --> 00:07:27.220
 and they're about to move through a region.

00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:31.020
 The way it's punctuated in the ESV,

00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:33.680
 if we read it that way,

00:07:33.740 --> 00:07:35.600
 would mean that they were staying

00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.160
 in the region of Phrygia and Galatia

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.180
 until they decided to move through Asia.

00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:44.280
 But nonetheless, this is what's happening.

00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.139
 This is where they are and what's going on.

00:07:47.419 --> 00:07:49.539
 Asia, also a region.

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.039
 And you find it here on the map.

00:07:52.139 --> 00:07:53.419
 Modern day Turkey,

00:07:53.779 --> 00:07:55.860
 not Far East Asia,

00:07:55.939 --> 00:07:57.120
 as most of us would think of.

00:07:57.159 --> 00:07:58.620
 So this would have been the region of Asia.

00:07:58.699 --> 00:07:59.879
 And you see the sub-region

00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:02.099
 above the word Asia there of Mysia.

00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.079
 So that's where they are heading through

00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.259
 to the sub-region of Mysia.

00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.219
 And they attempt to go into Bithynia,

00:08:09.219 --> 00:08:10.819
 which is another region north,

00:08:10.939 --> 00:08:13.339
 just there south of the Black Sea.

00:08:13.479 --> 00:08:14.459
 But they are, again,

00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:16.899
 prevented,

00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.879
 but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

00:08:20.620 --> 00:08:22.379
 So they pass by Mysia.

00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.479
 They skirt it to the north.

00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:26.879
 And they find themselves in the town,

00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.699
 in the coastal town of Troas.

00:08:30.099 --> 00:08:30.319
 Okay?

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:31.599
 So they went down to Troas.

00:08:31.659 --> 00:08:33.860
 It means they went downhill to the sea.

00:08:33.939 --> 00:08:36.000
 They went down to Troas.

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.840
 And it is in Troas that Paul sees a vision,

00:08:40.740 --> 00:08:42.179
 likely in a dream, right?

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:43.580
 It says that at night,

00:08:43.700 --> 00:08:44.840
 so likely in a dream,

00:08:45.500 --> 00:08:47.840
 a Macedonian man saying,

00:08:48.139 --> 00:08:49.259
 urging him and saying,

00:08:49.379 --> 00:08:54.179
 come over to Macedonia and help us.

00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:57.539
 Now it's interesting at this point in our text,

00:08:57.539 --> 00:08:58.259
 in Luke's narrative,

00:08:59.059 --> 00:09:01.779
 Luke switches from third-person narrative

00:09:01.779 --> 00:09:05.720
 to first-person plural narrative.

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:10.419
 It's likely at this point in his record

00:09:10.419 --> 00:09:13.579
 that he joins up with the missionary troop.

00:09:13.839 --> 00:09:15.600
 He's been writing now,

00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.799
 looking back to these events,

00:09:18.319 --> 00:09:19.539
 gathering accounts of it,

00:09:19.579 --> 00:09:21.240
 but now he's first-person.

00:09:21.339 --> 00:09:23.000
 He's there, first-person.

00:09:23.139 --> 00:09:25.279
 You'll see the third-person narrative

00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.299
 signified by the pronoun they

00:09:27.299 --> 00:09:28.279
 in verses 6,

00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:29.439
 verses 7,

00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:30.459
 verses 8,

00:09:30.819 --> 00:09:32.079
 and the pronoun him

00:09:32.079 --> 00:09:33.699
 in verse 9.

00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:35.759
 But in verse 10,

00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:37.219
 you see the switch

00:09:37.219 --> 00:09:40.339
 to first-person plural narrative

00:09:40.339 --> 00:09:43.319
 signified by the pronoun we.

00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:45.659
 When Paul had seen the vision,

00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.979
 immediately we stopped to go into Macedonia,

00:09:48.979 --> 00:09:51.039
 concluding that God had called us,

00:09:51.059 --> 00:09:52.059
 another plural pronoun,

00:09:52.459 --> 00:09:55.479
 to preach the gospel to them.

00:09:55.939 --> 00:09:57.099
 So it's likely this is where

00:09:57.100 --> 00:09:59.180
 Luke joins them

00:09:59.180 --> 00:10:00.519
 and begins to accompany them

00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:02.639
 on their missionary journey.

00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:05.600
 Note also in our text

00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.360
 that when they consider

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.259
 a request for help

00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:11.100
 seen in the form of a vision,

00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:13.220
 their proper assumption

00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:15.440
 is that the help requested

00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.879
 is a desire for the gospel

00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:19.620
 to be preached.

00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:21.120
 So this vision,

00:10:21.700 --> 00:10:22.779
 the Macedonian man does not say

00:10:22.779 --> 00:10:24.259
 come and preach the gospel to us.

00:10:24.300 --> 00:10:27.019
 He says come and help us.

00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:28.639
 And so they go to meet

00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:30.860
 the Macedonian's real need

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:32.399
 and not any felt need,

00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:33.620
 and the real need

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:36.200
 is for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:39.080
 This event in the book of Acts

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:40.080
 is significant.

00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:40.940
 It's very significant

00:10:40.940 --> 00:10:42.080
 in that it takes Paul

00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:42.800
 and his companions'

00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:43.180
!

00:10:43.179 --> 00:10:45.299
 missionary efforts to Europe

00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:47.079
 for the first time.

00:10:47.599 --> 00:10:49.379
 Macedonia is modern day Greece.

00:10:50.099 --> 00:10:51.679
 So it takes it across

00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:52.799
 into another continent

00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:55.959
 for the very first time.

00:10:56.099 --> 00:10:57.439
 Caleb, you can take the map off

00:10:57.439 --> 00:10:58.039
 there now.

00:10:59.819 --> 00:11:02.839
 So as we witness these events,

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.099
 remember this is historical narrative,

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:06.019
 so we're just seeing

00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:07.620
 the record of events.

00:11:08.539 --> 00:11:09.859
 We should glean out of it

00:11:09.859 --> 00:11:11.000
 what we can learn,

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.019
 but before we do that,

00:11:12.460 --> 00:11:13.279
 I want to talk about

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.080
 what we shouldn't learn

00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:16.779
 from such a text.

00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.120
 So what might we be tempted

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.259
 to learn from this text

00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:23.820
 that we shouldn't learn

00:11:23.820 --> 00:11:25.679
 from this text?

00:11:26.539 --> 00:11:28.379
 There's a phrase in our text

00:11:28.379 --> 00:11:30.299
 accompanied by general activity

00:11:30.299 --> 00:11:31.279
 of the Holy Spirit

00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.019
 that our generation tends

00:11:34.019 --> 00:11:36.899
 to make many mistakes with.

00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:39.120
 And that phrase is this.

00:11:39.819 --> 00:11:42.759
 God had called.

00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.199
 And the general activity

00:11:45.199 --> 00:11:46.699
 of the Holy Spirit

00:11:46.699 --> 00:11:49.100
 is His forbidding in verse 6,

00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.679
 His not allowing in verse 7,

00:11:53.419 --> 00:11:55.199
 and His giving of a vision

00:11:55.199 --> 00:11:56.919
 in verse 9.

00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:59.759
 Now I will not deny

00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.360
 that God has specific intention

00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:04.639
 for them to travel to Macedonia.

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.600
 The Spirit of God gives a vision,

00:12:06.699 --> 00:12:09.159
 a very specific calling

00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.019
 for them to travel to Macedonia.

00:12:11.460 --> 00:12:12.559
 They were correct

00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:13.559
 in their conclusion

00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:14.759
 from Paul's vision.

00:12:15.699 --> 00:12:16.720
 And I will not deny

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:17.639
 that God works

00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:18.500
 through the agency

00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:19.319
 of the Holy Spirit

00:12:19.319 --> 00:12:22.139
 to accomplish His intention.

00:12:23.220 --> 00:12:24.960
 What I want to keep us from doing

00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:26.279
 with this text this morning

00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:29.059
 is taking Luke's ambiguity.

00:12:29.379 --> 00:12:30.340
 Like he's not very specific

00:12:30.340 --> 00:12:31.360
 about how it is

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.639
 that the Spirit forbids

00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.080
 and does not allow.

00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:36.259
 Specific about the vision,

00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:36.940
 but not specific

00:12:36.940 --> 00:12:37.899
 about the prevention

00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:40.240
 of their moving

00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.220
 and sharing the gospel.

00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:43.480
 I don't want us

00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:44.399
 to take that ambiguity

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.300
 about how exactly

00:12:46.300 --> 00:12:47.159
 the Spirit forbid

00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:48.580
 and did not allow

00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:50.600
 and turn it into a license

00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.120
 to feel our way

00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:54.639
 through God's calling

00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:55.879
 for our lives.

00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.820
 An incredibly common

00:12:58.820 --> 00:13:00.399
 Christian phrase

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.199
 in our day is,

00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.019
 I feel called by God

00:13:05.019 --> 00:13:07.039
 to fill in the blank.

00:13:07.379 --> 00:13:08.000
 Go here,

00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:09.519
 marry this person,

00:13:10.579 --> 00:13:11.679
 take this job.

00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:13.860
 I feel called

00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:16.179
 to do such and such.

00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:17.419
 Many of you have said

00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:19.980
 something very much like this.

00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:21.620
 I have myself.

00:13:21.980 --> 00:13:23.639
 But what does it mean

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.539
 to feel called?

00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:28.219
 Can you describe

00:13:28.219 --> 00:13:30.599
 to me said feeling?

00:13:31.179 --> 00:13:32.659
 How do I know

00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:36.099
 when I am feeling called?

00:13:36.719 --> 00:13:38.179
 This is dangerous,

00:13:38.899 --> 00:13:41.059
 extra-biblical language.

00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.059
 And I see two common,

00:13:43.439 --> 00:13:44.179
 all too common,

00:13:44.299 --> 00:13:46.159
 unfortunate results

00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.019
 from such thinking

00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:50.559
 and use of language.

00:13:50.959 --> 00:13:51.500
 Number one,

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:53.939
 these are the two errors

00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:55.000
 I see most often,

00:13:55.140 --> 00:13:55.820
 which are at least

00:13:55.820 --> 00:13:56.800
 in part a result

00:13:56.800 --> 00:13:58.120
 of this kind of speaking.

00:13:59.340 --> 00:14:00.320
 Many Christians

00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.760
 do nothing at all

00:14:02.760 --> 00:14:04.660
 waiting for some

00:14:04.660 --> 00:14:06.160
 unknown feeling.

00:14:06.740 --> 00:14:07.680
 We live in a culture

00:14:07.680 --> 00:14:08.340
 of people saying

00:14:08.340 --> 00:14:09.360
 that they feel called

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:09.800
 to things

00:14:09.800 --> 00:14:11.000
 and I haven't felt that,

00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:11.940
 so I do nothing

00:14:11.940 --> 00:14:13.120
 until I wait

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:14.440
 for this feeling

00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:15.460
 that everyone's

00:14:15.460 --> 00:14:16.960
 talking about.

00:14:17.260 --> 00:14:18.520
 And that's happening

00:14:18.520 --> 00:14:19.800
 both passively,

00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:20.600
 people who just do

00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:21.980
 nothing at all,

00:14:21.980 --> 00:14:23.500
 waiting for that,

00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:24.659
 or actively

00:14:24.659 --> 00:14:25.180
 in that people

00:14:25.180 --> 00:14:25.680
 are always trying

00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:26.300
 to figure out

00:14:26.300 --> 00:14:26.920
 exactly what

00:14:26.920 --> 00:14:28.720
 their feelings are.

00:14:29.340 --> 00:14:29.740
 Have you ever

00:14:29.740 --> 00:14:30.580
 used language like,

00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:32.300
 I just don't feel

00:14:32.300 --> 00:14:33.720
 a piece about this?

00:14:34.740 --> 00:14:36.100
 Not biblical language,

00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:36.600
 beloved.

00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:38.039
 The Bible doesn't

00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:39.680
 speak in those terms

00:14:39.680 --> 00:14:40.700
 to us,

00:14:40.700 --> 00:14:42.519
 that we feel like

00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:43.340
 something's the right

00:14:43.340 --> 00:14:44.220
 decision to make

00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:44.840
 and therefore

00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:47.379
 we make that decision.

00:14:48.019 --> 00:14:49.039
 Let me give you

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:50.420
 a bit of an example.

00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:52.120
 We also use the

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:52.839
 language of doors

00:14:52.839 --> 00:14:53.459
 being opened,

00:14:53.599 --> 00:14:54.120
 which is biblical

00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:54.699
 language,

00:14:54.979 --> 00:14:55.379
 praise God,

00:14:55.439 --> 00:14:56.059
 but I think we use

00:14:56.059 --> 00:14:56.719
 it too often

00:14:56.719 --> 00:14:57.659
 in unbiblical ways.

00:14:57.979 --> 00:14:58.839
 Paul says in 1 Corinthians

00:14:58.839 --> 00:14:59.699
 chapter 16,

00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:01.139
 verses 8 and 9,

00:15:01.319 --> 00:15:01.620
 this.

00:15:02.479 --> 00:15:03.059
 He's talking about

00:15:03.059 --> 00:15:03.719
 his longing to come

00:15:03.719 --> 00:15:04.379
 see the church

00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:05.019
 in Corinth.

00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:05.719
 He says,

00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:06.559
 but I will stay

00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:07.399
 in Ephesus

00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.259
 until Pentecost,

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:09.979
 the future,

00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:10.620
 the celebration

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:11.439
 of Pentecost.

00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:12.479
 Verse 9,

00:15:13.419 --> 00:15:14.980
 for a wide door

00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:16.939
 of effective work

00:15:16.939 --> 00:15:18.219
 has opened to me.

00:15:18.599 --> 00:15:19.259
 So there's that

00:15:19.259 --> 00:15:20.159
 biblical use of the

00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:20.879
 language of why

00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:21.559
 door has been opened.

00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:22.779
 Like Paul is saying,

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:24.480
 look, I have so much

00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:25.779
 ministry I can do

00:15:25.779 --> 00:15:26.519
 in Ephesus.

00:15:26.700 --> 00:15:27.259
 And most of us

00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:28.220
 kind of stop there

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:29.240
 and we think

00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:30.179
 that doors being

00:15:30.179 --> 00:15:31.500
 opened means easy.

00:15:32.419 --> 00:15:32.559
 Right?

00:15:32.899 --> 00:15:33.720
 There it is.

00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:34.700
 It's a thing.

00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:35.100
 And you've heard

00:15:35.100 --> 00:15:35.799
 that sometimes God

00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:36.319
 closes the door

00:15:36.319 --> 00:15:36.840
 and he opens up

00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:37.200
 a window.

00:15:37.580 --> 00:15:37.759
 Right?

00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:38.539
 That you don't,

00:15:39.179 --> 00:15:40.379
 the easiest route,

00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:40.659
 right?

00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:41.939
 We follow the easy

00:15:41.939 --> 00:15:44.819
 path like water does.

00:15:45.580 --> 00:15:46.620
 But the rest of

00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:47.319
 verse 9,

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:48.500
 Paul says this,

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:50.120
 and there are

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.259
 many adversaries.

00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:54.179
 And there are

00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:56.519
 many adversaries.

00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:58.740
 So we may not

00:15:58.740 --> 00:16:00.440
 feel like something

00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:01.200
 is going the way

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:01.759
 it ought to do,

00:16:01.820 --> 00:16:02.419
 but it could very

00:16:02.419 --> 00:16:03.100
 well be the very

00:16:03.100 --> 00:16:04.399
 right thing to do.

00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:05.440
 And we'll talk

00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:05.960
 about how we

00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:07.179
 establish that.

00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:07.720
 And it may be

00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:08.460
 sometimes that we

00:16:08.460 --> 00:16:09.279
 have to kick

00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:10.620
 the door down

00:16:10.620 --> 00:16:11.820
 because it is

00:16:11.820 --> 00:16:12.759
 what God

00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:13.860
 has called us

00:16:13.860 --> 00:16:14.840
 to.

00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:16.060
 So I see

00:16:16.060 --> 00:16:17.019
 many Christians

00:16:17.019 --> 00:16:17.700
 who just do

00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:18.560
 nothing at all

00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:19.160
 whether passively

00:16:19.160 --> 00:16:19.620
 or actively

00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:20.639
 because of

00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:21.300
 feelings.

00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:22.980
 And secondly,

00:16:23.920 --> 00:16:24.720
 some Christians

00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:26.160
 are left

00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:27.000
 confused

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.220
 because the

00:16:28.220 --> 00:16:28.740
 thing they

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:29.720
 felt called

00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:30.160
 to

00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:31.220
 doesn't work

00:16:31.220 --> 00:16:32.639
 out the way

00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:33.200
 they thought

00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:34.399
 that it would.

00:16:35.180 --> 00:16:35.580
 Some of you

00:16:35.580 --> 00:16:36.120
 may know somebody

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:36.940
 who has felt

00:16:36.940 --> 00:16:37.639
 called at some

00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:38.000
 point in their

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.060
 life to world

00:16:39.060 --> 00:16:39.480
 missions.

00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:40.500
 And the

00:16:40.500 --> 00:16:41.139
 circumstances of

00:16:41.139 --> 00:16:42.019
 life prevent

00:16:42.019 --> 00:16:42.559
 them from

00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:43.939
 ever taking

00:16:43.939 --> 00:16:44.399
 their feet

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:45.379
 off American

00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:45.779
 soil.

00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:46.079
 And they're

00:16:46.079 --> 00:16:46.740
 confused.

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.419
 What was this

00:16:47.419 --> 00:16:48.179
 thing that I

00:16:48.179 --> 00:16:49.759
 felt that

00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:50.259
 didn't get

00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:51.100
 accomplished?

00:16:51.699 --> 00:16:52.419
 Young people,

00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:52.980
 some of you

00:16:52.980 --> 00:16:53.620
 probably have a

00:16:53.620 --> 00:16:54.199
 friend or may

00:16:54.199 --> 00:16:55.120
 be guilty of

00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.079
 feeling called

00:16:56.079 --> 00:16:56.939
 to date somebody

00:16:56.939 --> 00:16:57.960
 and that person

00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:58.860
 disagrees with

00:16:58.860 --> 00:16:59.100
 you.

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:00.079
 And suddenly

00:17:00.079 --> 00:17:00.879
 we don't know

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:01.379
 who hears

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:01.860
 God.

00:17:05.859 --> 00:17:06.779
 You're just

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:08.279
 feeling your

00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:08.779
 feelings.

00:17:08.779 --> 00:17:11.859
 We are not

00:17:11.859 --> 00:17:12.980
 instructed anywhere

00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:13.779
 in the Bible

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:14.859
 to feel our

00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:15.579
 way through

00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:17.079
 life's decisions.

00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:18.819
 Praise God

00:17:18.819 --> 00:17:19.619
 for that.

00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:22.160
 My feelings

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:23.759
 are way

00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:24.799
 too fickle

00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:25.899
 to be any

00:17:25.899 --> 00:17:26.319
 source of

00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:26.740
 direction.

00:17:27.139 --> 00:17:27.539
 And if you

00:17:27.539 --> 00:17:27.920
 know me for

00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:28.359
 very long,

00:17:28.420 --> 00:17:28.740
 you know I'm

00:17:28.740 --> 00:17:29.319
 not much of

00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:29.859
 a feeler.

00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:31.579
 I'm much

00:17:31.579 --> 00:17:32.420
 more cerebral

00:17:32.420 --> 00:17:33.500
 in the way I

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:33.899
 function,

00:17:34.139 --> 00:17:34.940
 but my

00:17:34.940 --> 00:17:35.660
 feelings are

00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:37.259
 not to be

00:17:37.259 --> 00:17:37.759
 trusted.

00:17:38.779 --> 00:17:39.740
 Most of

00:17:39.740 --> 00:17:40.200
 this week,

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.399
 up until some

00:17:42.399 --> 00:17:43.139
 moments ago,

00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:43.899
 I did not

00:17:43.899 --> 00:17:44.339
 feel like

00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:44.660
 preaching.

00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:46.059
 I didn't

00:17:46.059 --> 00:17:46.700
 feel like it.

00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:48.399
 I would have

00:17:48.399 --> 00:17:49.220
 gladly canceled

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:49.740
 this morning

00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:50.220
 for inclement

00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:50.599
 weather,

00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.500
 or asked

00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:53.899
 someone to

00:17:53.899 --> 00:17:54.319
 take the

00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:55.000
 task from

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:55.279
 me,

00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:56.740
 but I am

00:17:56.740 --> 00:17:57.559
 convinced in

00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:59.119
 my mind by

00:17:59.119 --> 00:17:59.720
 the instruction

00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:00.099
 of the

00:18:00.099 --> 00:18:01.440
 scripture of

00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:02.480
 the centrality

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:03.319
 of preaching

00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:03.899
 for the good

00:18:03.899 --> 00:18:04.299
 of God's

00:18:04.299 --> 00:18:04.639
 people.

00:18:05.399 --> 00:18:06.220
 And I am

00:18:06.220 --> 00:18:07.160
 moved by that

00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:07.859
 truth to

00:18:07.859 --> 00:18:08.420
 prepare,

00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:09.599
 anyway,

00:18:10.139 --> 00:18:10.599
 and to

00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:11.180
 pray that

00:18:11.180 --> 00:18:11.440
 God would

00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:11.779
 have me

00:18:11.779 --> 00:18:13.039
 feel what

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:13.819
 I ought

00:18:13.819 --> 00:18:14.359
 to feel

00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:15.039
 when I

00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:16.019
 come to

00:18:16.019 --> 00:18:16.319
 preaching.

00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:17.500
 But it

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:17.720
 does not

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:18.359
 change what

00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:19.839
 I do.

00:18:20.539 --> 00:18:21.559
 I pray that

00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:22.680
 my feelings

00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:23.639
 would be

00:18:23.639 --> 00:18:24.539
 consistent with

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:25.319
 the truth

00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:26.619
 of my

00:18:26.619 --> 00:18:27.160
 calling.

00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:28.799
 I don't

00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:29.460
 always feel

00:18:29.460 --> 00:18:30.460
 like serving

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:31.879
 my wife

00:18:31.879 --> 00:18:32.720
 and my

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:33.160
 children.

00:18:33.859 --> 00:18:34.240
 Have you

00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.180
 ever felt

00:18:36.180 --> 00:18:36.879
 like doing

00:18:36.879 --> 00:18:37.339
 dishes?

00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:37.559
 dishes?

00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:40.119
 But we

00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:40.419
 do it

00:18:40.419 --> 00:18:40.779
 anyway.

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:42.439
 There's

00:18:42.439 --> 00:18:43.159
 many times

00:18:43.159 --> 00:18:43.399
 I don't

00:18:43.399 --> 00:18:43.740
 feel like

00:18:43.740 --> 00:18:44.159
 getting on

00:18:44.159 --> 00:18:44.720
 the floor

00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:45.259
 and playing

00:18:45.259 --> 00:18:45.679
 with my

00:18:45.679 --> 00:18:46.099
 kids.

00:18:46.379 --> 00:18:46.679
 I am

00:18:46.679 --> 00:18:47.379
 tired and

00:18:47.379 --> 00:18:47.639
 I am

00:18:47.639 --> 00:18:47.839
 getting

00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:48.679
 older and

00:18:48.679 --> 00:18:49.179
 it hurts

00:18:49.179 --> 00:18:49.539
 to be on

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:50.119
 the floor.

00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:51.599
 But I

00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:51.919
 am a

00:18:51.919 --> 00:18:52.399
 dad.

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:53.039
 And of

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:53.419
 this I

00:18:53.419 --> 00:18:53.939
 can be

00:18:53.939 --> 00:18:54.939
 sure that

00:18:54.939 --> 00:18:55.259
 God is

00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:55.799
 giving me

00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:55.980
 the

00:18:55.980 --> 00:18:56.799
 responsibility

00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:58.439
 to love

00:18:58.439 --> 00:18:59.480
 my

00:18:59.480 --> 00:18:59.899
 children.

00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:02.519
 many of

00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:02.800
 you

00:19:02.800 --> 00:19:04.620
 did not

00:19:04.620 --> 00:19:05.080
 feel like

00:19:05.080 --> 00:19:05.500
 getting up

00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:06.000
 this morning.

00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:08.360
 An alarm

00:19:08.360 --> 00:19:08.880
 went off

00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:10.200
 way too

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:10.700
 early and

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:10.980
 it was

00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:11.540
 storming

00:19:11.540 --> 00:19:12.100
 outside and

00:19:12.100 --> 00:19:12.300
 it was

00:19:12.300 --> 00:19:12.800
 cloudy.

00:19:12.900 --> 00:19:13.259
 It was so

00:19:13.259 --> 00:19:13.900
 much darker

00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:14.220
 than it

00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:14.540
 should have

00:19:14.540 --> 00:19:15.680
 been this

00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:16.160
 morning for

00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:17.600
 us to

00:19:17.600 --> 00:19:18.200
 wake up.

00:19:18.300 --> 00:19:18.580
 You didn't

00:19:18.580 --> 00:19:19.220
 feel like

00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:19.860
 doing it but

00:19:19.860 --> 00:19:20.220
 you did it

00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:20.800
 all the same

00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:21.160
 because you

00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:21.480
 didn't want

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:22.140
 to neglect

00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:22.840
 the command

00:19:22.840 --> 00:19:23.400
 for us to

00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:23.780
 gather

00:19:23.780 --> 00:19:24.600
 together.

00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:26.380
 There are

00:19:26.380 --> 00:19:26.880
 some people

00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:27.380
 who are not

00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:27.960
 here with us

00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:28.440
 this morning

00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:29.480
 because they

00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:30.120
 didn't feel

00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:31.600
 like being

00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:31.920
 here.

00:19:32.740 --> 00:19:33.380
 Many are

00:19:33.380 --> 00:19:34.240
 traveling but

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:35.460
 some just

00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:36.860
 didn't feel

00:19:36.860 --> 00:19:38.440
 like being

00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:38.860
 here this

00:19:38.860 --> 00:19:39.200
 morning.

00:19:40.360 --> 00:19:41.059
 In our

00:19:41.059 --> 00:19:41.620
 text this

00:19:41.620 --> 00:19:42.860
 morning I'm

00:19:42.860 --> 00:19:44.539
 convinced that

00:19:44.539 --> 00:19:45.059
 Luke does not

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:46.120
 tell us exactly

00:19:46.120 --> 00:19:46.860
 how the

00:19:46.860 --> 00:19:47.539
 Spirit forbid

00:19:47.539 --> 00:19:48.779
 and did not

00:19:48.779 --> 00:19:49.900
 allow because

00:19:49.900 --> 00:19:51.519
 that is not

00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:52.819
 the point of

00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:53.400
 the text.

00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:54.860
 It's not the

00:19:54.860 --> 00:19:55.539
 point of the

00:19:55.539 --> 00:19:56.200
 text and so we

00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:57.100
 should not learn

00:19:57.100 --> 00:19:57.480
 that.

00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:58.220
 From the

00:19:58.220 --> 00:19:58.759
 text that

00:19:58.759 --> 00:19:59.140
 the Spirit

00:19:59.140 --> 00:19:59.600
 is working

00:19:59.600 --> 00:20:00.000
 in some

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.079
 strange

00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:02.779
 mysterious way

00:20:02.779 --> 00:20:03.640
 and we look

00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:04.400
 at that and

00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:04.860
 we look at

00:20:04.860 --> 00:20:05.539
 our experience

00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:05.840
 and our

00:20:05.840 --> 00:20:06.279
 culture and

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:06.700
 go well it

00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:07.779
 must be that

00:20:07.779 --> 00:20:08.200
 they didn't

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:09.559
 feel like they

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:09.880
 should preach

00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:10.680
 the gospel in

00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:11.340
 Asia or they

00:20:11.340 --> 00:20:12.620
 didn't feel like

00:20:12.620 --> 00:20:13.180
 they should go

00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:14.039
 to Bithynia.

00:20:14.779 --> 00:20:15.340
 We don't know

00:20:15.340 --> 00:20:16.539
 what intervened

00:20:16.539 --> 00:20:17.799
 in those cases

00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:18.660
 but I can tell

00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:20.360
 you this because

00:20:20.360 --> 00:20:20.840
 of the larger

00:20:20.840 --> 00:20:21.559
 context of the

00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:22.319
 Bible it was

00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:23.420
 not because

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:24.620
 of their

00:20:24.620 --> 00:20:25.059
 feelings.

00:20:26.120 --> 00:20:26.900
 So it leaves

00:20:26.900 --> 00:20:27.440
 the question

00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:28.600
 I hope that

00:20:28.600 --> 00:20:29.240
 the phrase

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:29.940
 that they

00:20:29.940 --> 00:20:31.259
 were concluding

00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:31.880
 that God

00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:32.860
 had called

00:20:32.860 --> 00:20:33.960
 them to

00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:34.440
 preach the

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:36.340
 gospel gives

00:20:36.340 --> 00:20:36.820
 you some

00:20:36.820 --> 00:20:37.299
 hope.

00:20:38.420 --> 00:20:39.259
 God's given

00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:40.120
 us general

00:20:40.120 --> 00:20:41.220
 call but

00:20:41.220 --> 00:20:41.640
 he's also

00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:42.420
 working the

00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:43.340
 specifics out.

00:20:43.660 --> 00:20:44.120
 Very

00:20:44.120 --> 00:20:44.920
 specifically

00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:46.700
 God is

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:47.160
 having them

00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:47.900
 move through

00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:48.720
 a region in

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:49.080
 order to

00:20:49.080 --> 00:20:49.820
 get to

00:20:49.820 --> 00:20:51.240
 a place

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:51.480
 and we

00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:51.779
 get to see

00:20:51.779 --> 00:20:52.120
 so much

00:20:52.120 --> 00:20:52.380
 of what

00:20:52.380 --> 00:20:53.539
 unfolds in

00:20:53.539 --> 00:20:54.019
 that place

00:20:54.019 --> 00:20:54.660
 God's

00:20:54.660 --> 00:20:55.019
 good

00:20:55.019 --> 00:20:55.599
 sovereign

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.319
 purpose

00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:58.819
 but to

00:20:58.819 --> 00:20:59.279
 hang on

00:20:59.279 --> 00:20:59.619
 that to

00:20:59.619 --> 00:21:00.079
 go ooh

00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:00.539
 God's

00:21:00.539 --> 00:21:01.240
 calling in

00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:02.259
 very specific

00:21:02.259 --> 00:21:03.299
 ways

00:21:03.299 --> 00:21:04.579
 we should

00:21:04.579 --> 00:21:05.299
 consider that.

00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:06.139
 So what

00:21:06.139 --> 00:21:06.960
 can we learn

00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:07.299
 from this

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:08.500
 text about

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:09.139
 God's

00:21:09.139 --> 00:21:10.599
 calling for

00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:11.099
 our lives?

00:21:11.900 --> 00:21:12.460
 Can we

00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:13.799
 know with

00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:14.779
 specificity

00:21:14.779 --> 00:21:16.019
 what God

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:16.639
 would have

00:21:16.639 --> 00:21:17.539
 us do

00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:18.980
 with our

00:21:18.980 --> 00:21:19.359
 lives?

00:21:19.859 --> 00:21:20.220
 And there

00:21:20.220 --> 00:21:21.059
 is much to

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:21.319
 be said

00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:21.700
 about this

00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:21.960
 so this

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:22.200
 will be

00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:22.440
 in

00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:22.799
 brief

00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:23.600
 this

00:21:23.600 --> 00:21:23.880
 morning.

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:24.580
 I want

00:21:24.580 --> 00:21:24.980
 to encourage

00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:25.200
 you to

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:25.740
 continue to

00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:26.340
 consider the

00:21:26.340 --> 00:21:26.559
 biblical

00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:27.100
 teaching on

00:21:27.100 --> 00:21:27.580
 these things

00:21:27.580 --> 00:21:28.460
 beyond this

00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:28.940
 morning but

00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:29.340
 in brief

00:21:29.340 --> 00:21:30.019
 let's talk a

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:30.220
 little bit

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:30.640
 about that.

00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:31.160
 Can we

00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:31.500
 know with

00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:32.080
 specificity

00:21:32.080 --> 00:21:33.120
 what God

00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:33.500
 would have

00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:34.100
 us do

00:21:34.100 --> 00:21:34.960
 with our

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:35.259
 lives?

00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:35.640
 And in

00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:35.940
 considering

00:21:35.940 --> 00:21:36.600
 that question

00:21:36.600 --> 00:21:37.960
 my attention

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:38.539
 was drawn

00:21:38.539 --> 00:21:39.720
 to the title

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.160
 that Luke

00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:41.120
 uses for

00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:41.539
 the Holy

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:42.279
 Spirit the

00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:43.279
 second time

00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:44.039
 that he

00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:44.519
 mentions him.

00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:45.519
 He mentions

00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:46.279
 him first

00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:46.600
 in verse

00:21:46.600 --> 00:21:47.900
 six but

00:21:47.900 --> 00:21:48.720
 secondly he

00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:50.000
 uses this

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.019
 title for

00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:51.480
 the Holy

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:51.920
 Spirit in

00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:52.619
 verse seven

00:21:52.619 --> 00:21:54.139
 the Spirit

00:21:54.139 --> 00:21:55.400
 of Jesus.

00:21:56.299 --> 00:21:56.740
 The Spirit

00:21:56.740 --> 00:21:57.079
 of Jesus.

00:21:57.220 --> 00:21:57.759
 Luke seems

00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.319
 to be giving

00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:00.720
 possession of

00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:01.279
 the Spirit

00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:02.059
 to Jesus.

00:22:02.539 --> 00:22:02.879
 You could

00:22:02.879 --> 00:22:03.720
 say Jesus'

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:05.319
 Spirit

00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:07.160
 did this

00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:07.960
 thing.

00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:09.139
 Now that

00:22:09.139 --> 00:22:10.039
 is not a

00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:11.099
 name often

00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:11.759
 used for the

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.240
 Holy Spirit

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:12.900
 in the New

00:22:12.900 --> 00:22:13.220
 Testament.

00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:14.779
 In fact it

00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:15.379
 is only used

00:22:15.379 --> 00:22:15.879
 here in this

00:22:15.879 --> 00:22:16.779
 exact form

00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:17.879
 the Spirit

00:22:17.879 --> 00:22:18.639
 of Jesus

00:22:18.639 --> 00:22:19.759
 but also

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:20.119
 we won't

00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:20.420
 be too

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:20.700
 picky

00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:21.720
 the Spirit

00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.039
 of Jesus

00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:22.620
 Christ

00:22:22.620 --> 00:22:23.240
 in Philippians

00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:23.840
 chapter 1

00:22:23.840 --> 00:22:24.420
 verse 19

00:22:24.420 --> 00:22:25.600
 and the

00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:26.059
 Spirit

00:22:26.059 --> 00:22:27.039
 of Christ

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:28.200
 in 1 Peter

00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:28.799
 chapter 1

00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:29.500
 verse 11

00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:30.559
 and in

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:30.860
 Romans

00:22:30.860 --> 00:22:31.600
 chapter 8

00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:32.960
 verse 9

00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:33.559
 which we're

00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:33.900
 going to look

00:22:33.900 --> 00:22:34.700
 at momentarily

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:36.259
 Romans 8

00:22:36.259 --> 00:22:38.180
 verse 9.

00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:39.420
 Let me say

00:22:39.420 --> 00:22:40.140
 this to you

00:22:40.140 --> 00:22:41.340
 a valuable

00:22:41.340 --> 00:22:42.759
 hermeneutic

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.480
 principle

00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:44.059
 right?

00:22:44.259 --> 00:22:44.640
 Hermeneutics

00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:45.539
 is the study

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:46.400
 of how to

00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:47.240
 study the

00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:47.539
 Bible.

00:22:48.340 --> 00:22:48.940
 A valuable

00:22:48.940 --> 00:22:49.660
 hermeneutic

00:22:49.660 --> 00:22:50.299
 principle

00:22:50.299 --> 00:22:51.399
 is that

00:22:51.399 --> 00:22:52.819
 where

00:22:52.819 --> 00:22:53.159
 Scripture

00:22:53.159 --> 00:22:54.019
 is less

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:54.519
 clear

00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:55.680
 we use

00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:56.180
 more

00:22:56.180 --> 00:22:56.940
 clear

00:22:56.940 --> 00:22:57.500
 text

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:57.680
 to

00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:57.940
 Scripture

00:22:57.940 --> 00:22:58.200
 to

00:22:58.200 --> 00:22:58.500
 interpret

00:22:58.500 --> 00:22:58.720
 it.

00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:00.279
 So when

00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:00.639
 something's

00:23:00.639 --> 00:23:00.899
 a head

00:23:00.899 --> 00:23:01.480
 scratcher

00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:02.039
 and I

00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:02.460
 would suggest

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:02.740
 to you

00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:03.139
 that these

00:23:03.139 --> 00:23:03.440
 verses

00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:03.819
 are these

00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:04.079
 five

00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:04.379
 verses

00:23:04.379 --> 00:23:04.980
 we need

00:23:04.980 --> 00:23:05.220
 to look

00:23:05.220 --> 00:23:05.500
 in a

00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:05.899
 broader

00:23:05.899 --> 00:23:06.639
 context

00:23:06.639 --> 00:23:07.180
 and what

00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:07.539
 the Bible

00:23:07.539 --> 00:23:07.960
 says

00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:08.480
 in more

00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:08.899
 clear

00:23:08.899 --> 00:23:09.299
 ways

00:23:09.299 --> 00:23:09.579
 to help

00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:09.700
 us

00:23:09.700 --> 00:23:10.119
 understand

00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:10.639
 what's

00:23:10.639 --> 00:23:10.919
 happening

00:23:10.919 --> 00:23:11.359
 here

00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:11.759
 in

00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:12.700
 this

00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:13.779
 narrative.

00:23:13.779 --> 00:23:15.319
 So let's

00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:15.940
 explore this

00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:16.379
 title

00:23:16.379 --> 00:23:17.000
 the Spirit

00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:17.420
 of Jesus

00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:17.720
 a bit

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:18.119
 further

00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:19.720
 by looking

00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:20.319
 in the book

00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:20.799
 of John

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:22.539
 at another

00:23:22.539 --> 00:23:23.160
 title given

00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:24.039
 to the Spirit.

00:23:24.740 --> 00:23:25.660
 So I'm coming

00:23:25.660 --> 00:23:26.220
 away from the

00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:26.819
 Spirit of Jesus

00:23:26.819 --> 00:23:28.059
 title but to

00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:28.299
 help us

00:23:28.299 --> 00:23:28.779
 understand it

00:23:28.779 --> 00:23:29.279
 I want to

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:29.559
 look at

00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:30.359
 another title

00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:30.920
 given to

00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:31.279
 the Spirit

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:32.480
 this time

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:34.240
 by Jesus

00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:35.019
 turn to

00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:35.460
 John

00:23:35.460 --> 00:23:35.859
 chapter

00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:36.660
 16.

00:23:36.660 --> 00:23:40.019
 You can

00:23:40.019 --> 00:23:40.279
 mark

00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:40.660
 Acts

00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:41.340
 16

00:23:41.340 --> 00:23:42.019
 We're

00:23:42.019 --> 00:23:42.120
 going to

00:23:42.120 --> 00:23:42.440
 be away

00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:42.700
 from it

00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:42.920
 for a

00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:43.019
 little

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:43.259
 while

00:23:43.259 --> 00:23:43.500
 though.

00:23:53.080 --> 00:23:53.720
 Now the

00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:54.040
 book of

00:23:54.040 --> 00:23:54.420
 John

00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:55.700
 in a

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:55.960
 sense

00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:56.519
 places

00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:57.320
 Jesus

00:23:57.320 --> 00:23:57.600
 on

00:23:57.600 --> 00:23:57.980
 trial.

00:23:59.060 --> 00:23:59.180
 John

00:23:59.180 --> 00:23:59.880
 is a

00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:00.140
 follower

00:24:00.140 --> 00:24:00.500
 of Jesus

00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:00.840
 Christ

00:24:00.840 --> 00:24:01.160
 but the

00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:01.580
 way

00:24:01.580 --> 00:24:02.240
 in which

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:03.180
 he

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:03.860
 presents

00:24:03.860 --> 00:24:04.120
 the

00:24:04.120 --> 00:24:04.279
 book

00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:04.440
 of

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:04.820
 John

00:24:04.820 --> 00:24:05.759
 is

00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:06.480
 meant

00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:06.759
 to

00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:07.380
 drive

00:24:07.380 --> 00:24:07.680
 us

00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:07.860
 to

00:24:07.860 --> 00:24:08.460
 understand

00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:08.720
 that

00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:08.960
 Jesus

00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:09.539
 is

00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:10.059
 the

00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:10.420
 Christ

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:10.759
 and so

00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:10.940
 he

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:12.079
 in

00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:12.279
 very

00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:12.799
 specific

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.519
 ways

00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:14.319
 brings

00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:14.860
 out

00:24:14.860 --> 00:24:15.660
 witnesses

00:24:15.660 --> 00:24:16.940
 the first

00:24:16.940 --> 00:24:17.200
 12

00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:17.559
 chapters

00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:17.720
 of

00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:17.960
 John

00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:18.180
 this is

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:18.319
 what

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:18.579
 he's

00:24:18.579 --> 00:24:19.180
 doing

00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:19.339
 and

00:24:19.339 --> 00:24:19.480
 he

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:19.740
 states

00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:19.900
 for

00:24:19.900 --> 00:24:20.019
 us

00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:20.220
 much

00:24:20.220 --> 00:24:20.500
 later

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:20.680
 in

00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:20.819
 the

00:24:20.819 --> 00:24:21.259
 book

00:24:21.259 --> 00:24:21.400
 in

00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:21.559
 John

00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:21.759
 chapter

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.039
 20

00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:22.259
 verse

00:24:22.259 --> 00:24:23.059
 31

00:24:23.059 --> 00:24:23.799
 these

00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:24.740
 words

00:24:24.740 --> 00:24:24.920
 are

00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:25.140
 written

00:24:25.140 --> 00:24:25.339
 so

00:24:25.339 --> 00:24:25.480
 that

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:25.579
 you

00:24:25.579 --> 00:24:25.740
 may

00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:26.400
 believe

00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:26.599
 that

00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:26.920
 Jesus

00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:27.220
 is

00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:27.380
 the

00:24:27.380 --> 00:24:27.839
 Christ

00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:28.079
 the

00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:28.279
 Son

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:28.420
 of

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:28.759
 God

00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:29.400
 and

00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:29.519
 that

00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:29.700
 by

00:24:29.700 --> 00:24:30.160
 believing

00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:30.779
 you

00:24:30.779 --> 00:24:30.920
 may

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:31.099
 have

00:24:31.099 --> 00:24:31.620
 life

00:24:31.620 --> 00:24:32.220

00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:32.740
 name

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:33.040
 so

00:24:33.040 --> 00:24:34.060
 the

00:24:34.060 --> 00:24:34.180
 book

00:24:34.840 --> 00:24:35.000

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:30.819

 the helper

 is

00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:34.380
 Jesus'

00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:34.880

00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:36.440

00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:39.980
 the spirit

00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:18.519
 about

00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:19.000
 me

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:20.180
 and

00:31:20.180 --> 00:31:20.339
 you

00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:20.940
 also

00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:21.799
 witness

00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:22.619
 because

00:31:22.619 --> 00:31:22.779
 you

00:31:22.779 --> 00:31:22.899
 have

00:31:22.899 --> 00:31:23.039
 been

00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:23.319
 with

00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:23.759
 me

00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:24.720
 from

00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:24.940
 the

 beginning

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:25.319


00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:25.720
 so you

00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:26.099
 see

00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:26.919
 through

00:31:26.919 --> 00:31:27.319
 the

00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:27.599
 recorded

00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:27.799
 words

00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:27.919
 of

00:31:27.919 --> 00:31:28.159
 Jesus

00:31:28.159 --> 00:31:28.799
 John

00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:29.439
 draws

00:31:29.439 --> 00:31:29.659
 this

00:31:29.659 --> 00:31:30.179
 parallel

00:31:30.179 --> 00:31:30.960
 for us

00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:31.259
 between

00:31:31.259 --> 00:31:31.519
 the

00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:31.879
 spirit

00:31:31.879 --> 00:31:32.839
 and

00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:32.960
 the

00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:33.359
 apostles

00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:33.899
 and now

00:31:33.899 --> 00:31:34.480
 us

00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:34.879
 as the

00:31:34.879 --> 00:31:35.220
 church

00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:35.799
 of

00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:36.200
 Christ

00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:36.939
 on

00:31:36.939 --> 00:31:37.339
 earth

00:31:37.339 --> 00:31:38.500
 so this

00:31:38.500 --> 00:31:38.819
 is the

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:39.399
 function

00:31:39.399 --> 00:31:39.779
 this is the

00:31:39.779 --> 00:31:40.639
 primary work

00:31:40.639 --> 00:31:40.919
 and we've

00:31:40.919 --> 00:31:41.299
 said this in

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:41.799
 other terms

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.359
 in past

00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:42.720
 weeks

00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:42.960
 right

00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:43.579
 the primary

00:31:43.579 --> 00:31:43.919
 work of

00:31:43.919 --> 00:31:44.259
 the spirit

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:44.960
 of God

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:45.899
 is what

00:31:45.899 --> 00:31:46.599
 the

00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:47.519
 exaltation

00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:48.379
 of Jesus

00:31:48.379 --> 00:31:49.579
 Christ

00:31:49.579 --> 00:31:50.259
 and as

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:50.480
 we've

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:50.779
 worked

00:31:50.779 --> 00:31:51.259
 through

00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:52.299
 signs

00:31:52.299 --> 00:31:52.500
 and

00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:52.859
 wonders

00:31:52.859 --> 00:31:53.599
 I've

00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:53.699
 been

00:31:53.699 --> 00:31:53.919
 trying

00:31:53.919 --> 00:31:54.059
 to

00:31:54.059 --> 00:31:54.259
 set

00:31:54.259 --> 00:31:54.399
 up

00:31:54.399 --> 00:31:54.539
 for

00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:54.639
 you

00:31:54.639 --> 00:31:54.819
 the

00:31:54.819 --> 00:31:55.419
 filter

00:31:55.419 --> 00:31:56.399
 that

00:31:56.399 --> 00:31:56.879
 is

00:31:56.879 --> 00:31:57.500
 things

00:31:57.500 --> 00:31:57.720
 we're

00:31:57.720 --> 00:31:58.079
 witnessing

00:31:58.079 --> 00:31:58.720
 now

00:31:58.720 --> 00:31:59.539
 are

00:31:59.539 --> 00:31:59.899
 they

00:31:59.899 --> 00:32:00.679
 Christ

00:32:00.679 --> 00:32:01.439
 exalting

00:32:01.439 --> 00:32:02.879
 or are

00:32:02.879 --> 00:32:03.039
 they

00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:03.699
 supposedly

00:32:03.699 --> 00:32:04.199
 spirit

00:32:04.199 --> 00:32:04.659
 exalting

00:32:04.659 --> 00:32:04.939
 because the

00:32:04.939 --> 00:32:05.099
 spirit

00:32:05.099 --> 00:32:05.379
 would never

00:32:05.379 --> 00:32:05.559
 do

00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:05.759
 such

00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:05.859
 a

00:32:05.859 --> 00:32:06.039
 thing

00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:06.319
 right

00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:06.480
 the

00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:06.659
 spirit

00:32:06.659 --> 00:32:06.799
 is

00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:07.059
 always

00:32:07.059 --> 00:32:07.480
 about

00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:07.960
 the

00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:08.619
 exaltation

00:32:08.619 --> 00:32:09.220

00:32:09.419 --> 00:32:09.799

 however

00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:01.720
 are

00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:02.120
 not

00:33:02.120 --> 00:33:02.480
 in

00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:02.640
 the

00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:03.019
 flesh

00:33:03.019 --> 00:33:03.740
 but

00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:04.540
 in

00:33:04.540 --> 00:33:05.060
 the

00:33:05.060 --> 00:33:05.440
 spirit

00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:06.380
 if

00:33:06.380 --> 00:33:06.540
 in

00:33:06.540 --> 00:33:07.100
 fact

00:33:07.100 --> 00:33:07.820
 the

00:33:07.820 --> 00:33:08.140
 spirit

00:33:08.140 --> 00:33:08.300
 of

00:33:08.300 --> 00:33:08.600
 God

00:33:08.600 --> 00:33:09.220
 dwells

00:33:09.220 --> 00:33:09.900
 in

00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:10.460
 you

00:33:10.460 --> 00:33:10.820
 so

00:33:10.820 --> 00:33:11.340
 we're

00:33:11.340 --> 00:33:11.380
 in

00:33:11.380 --> 00:33:11.500
 the

00:33:11.500 --> 00:33:11.779
 spirit

00:33:11.779 --> 00:33:12.140
 if

00:33:12.140 --> 00:33:12.300
 the

00:33:12.300 --> 00:33:12.519

00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:13.019
 in

00:33:13.019 --> 00:33:14.119
 us

00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:15.079
 anyone

00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:15.279
 who

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:15.480
 does

00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:15.980
 not

00:33:15.980 --> 00:33:16.200
 have

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:16.359
 the

00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:16.660
 spirit

00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:17.279
 of

00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:17.879
 Christ

00:33:17.879 --> 00:33:18.160
 there's

00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:18.319
 that

00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:18.879
 phrase

00:33:18.879 --> 00:33:19.619
 verse

00:33:19.619 --> 00:33:19.940
 9

00:33:19.940 --> 00:33:20.180
 Romans

00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:20.440
 chapter

00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:20.799

00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:21.480
 anyone

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:21.680
 who

00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:21.839
 does

00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:22.160
 not

00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:22.779
 have

00:33:22.779 --> 00:33:22.980
 the

00:33:22.980 --> 00:33:23.359
 spirit

00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:23.539
 of

00:33:23.539 --> 00:33:24.019
 Christ

00:33:24.019 --> 00:33:24.960
 does

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:25.279
 not

00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:25.879
 belong

00:33:25.879 --> 00:33:26.420
 to

00:33:26.420 --> 00:33:26.799
 him

00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:28.599
 but

00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:28.900
 if

00:33:28.900 --> 00:33:29.500
 Christ

00:33:29.500 --> 00:33:29.980
 is

00:33:29.980 --> 00:33:30.299
 in

00:33:30.299 --> 00:33:30.619
 you

00:33:30.619 --> 00:33:31.839
 although

00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:32.000
 the

00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:32.220
 body

00:33:32.220 --> 00:33:32.400
 is

00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:32.539
 dead

00:33:32.539 --> 00:33:32.759
 because

00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:32.900
 of

00:33:32.900 --> 00:33:33.220
 sin

00:33:33.220 --> 00:33:33.819
 the

00:33:33.819 --> 00:33:34.099
 spirit

00:33:34.099 --> 00:33:34.579
 is

00:33:34.579 --> 00:33:34.960
 life

00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:36.039
 because

00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:36.500
 of

00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:36.879
 righteousness

00:33:36.879 --> 00:33:37.480
 so

00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:38.359
 track

00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:38.519
 the

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:38.799
 logic

00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:39.400
 for

00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:39.639
 you

00:33:39.639 --> 00:33:39.940
 through

00:33:39.940 --> 00:33:40.240
 that

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:41.460
 we

00:33:41.460 --> 00:33:41.639
 are

00:33:41.639 --> 00:33:41.839
 in

00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:42.000
 the

00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:42.160
!

00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:42.380
 spirit

00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:42.960
 if

00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:43.400
 the

00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:43.600
 spirit

00:33:43.600 --> 00:33:43.740
 of

00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:44.000
 God

00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:44.300
 is

00:33:44.300 --> 00:33:44.680
 in

00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:45.500
 us

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:46.759
 we

00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:47.120
 belong

00:33:47.120 --> 00:33:47.320
 to

00:33:47.320 --> 00:33:47.840
 Christ

00:33:47.840 --> 00:33:48.540
 if

00:33:48.540 --> 00:33:49.279
 the

00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:49.700
 spirit

00:33:49.700 --> 00:33:49.960
 of

00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:50.540
 Christ

00:33:50.540 --> 00:33:51.240
 is

00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:52.240
 ours

00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:53.580
 if

00:33:53.580 --> 00:33:53.740
 the

00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:53.920
 spirit

00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:54.040
 of

00:33:54.040 --> 00:33:54.340
 Christ

00:33:54.340 --> 00:33:54.600
 is

00:33:54.600 --> 00:33:55.120
 ours

00:33:55.120 --> 00:33:55.420
 then

00:33:55.420 --> 00:33:56.120
 Christ

00:33:56.120 --> 00:33:56.960
 is

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:58.400
 in

00:33:58.400 --> 00:33:58.759
 us

00:33:58.759 --> 00:33:59.700
 and

00:33:59.700 --> 00:33:59.800
 so

00:33:59.800 --> 00:33:59.960
 you

00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:00.180
 see

00:34:00.180 --> 00:34:00.540
 how to

00:34:00.540 --> 00:34:00.960
 call

00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:01.580
 the

00:34:01.580 --> 00:34:01.759
 Holy

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:02.000
 Spirit

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:02.180
 the

00:34:02.180 --> 00:34:02.380
 spirit

00:34:02.380 --> 00:34:02.519
 of

00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:02.820
 Christ

00:34:02.820 --> 00:34:02.960
 or

00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:03.100
 the

00:34:03.100 --> 00:34:03.360
 spirit

00:34:03.360 --> 00:34:03.600
 of

00:34:03.600 --> 00:34:04.259
 Jesus

00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:05.100
 as

00:34:05.100 --> 00:34:05.720
 Luke

00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:06.160
 does

00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:06.480
 is

00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:07.060
 really

00:34:07.060 --> 00:34:07.840
 right

00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:08.740
 and

00:34:08.740 --> 00:34:09.260
 proper

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:10.640
 so

00:34:10.640 --> 00:34:10.780
 we're

00:34:10.780 --> 00:34:11.260
 followers

00:34:11.260 --> 00:34:11.440
 of

00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:11.620
 Jesus

00:34:11.620 --> 00:34:12.160
 Christ

00:34:12.160 --> 00:34:12.920
 if

00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:13.020
 we

00:34:13.020 --> 00:34:13.160
 are

00:34:13.160 --> 00:34:13.760
 pleasers

00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:13.940
 of

00:34:13.940 --> 00:34:14.320
 God

00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:14.860
 then

00:34:14.860 --> 00:34:15.000
 we

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:15.280
 are

00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:15.700
 so

00:34:15.700 --> 00:34:16.100
 because

00:34:16.100 --> 00:34:17.100
 of

00:34:17.100 --> 00:34:17.860
 the

00:34:17.860 --> 00:34:18.340
 spirit

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:19.760
 of

00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:20.260
 Christ

00:34:20.260 --> 00:34:21.580
 so

00:34:21.580 --> 00:34:21.860
 how does

00:34:21.860 --> 00:34:22.140
 this answer

00:34:22.140 --> 00:34:22.540
 the question

00:34:22.540 --> 00:34:22.960
 that I asked

00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:23.220
 at the very

00:34:23.220 --> 00:34:23.540
 beginning

00:34:23.540 --> 00:34:24.200
 you may be

00:34:24.200 --> 00:34:24.560
 wondering

00:34:24.560 --> 00:34:25.720
 can we

00:34:25.720 --> 00:34:25.980
 know

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.200
 with

00:34:26.200 --> 00:34:26.940
 specificity

00:34:26.940 --> 00:34:27.160
 what

00:34:27.160 --> 00:34:27.600
 God

00:34:27.600 --> 00:34:28.280
 would have

00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:28.600
 us

00:34:28.600 --> 00:34:29.260
 do

00:34:29.260 --> 00:34:29.940

 our

00:34:30.080 --> 00:34:30.540

00:34:30.540 --> 00:34:30.540

 yes

00:34:34.539 --> 00:34:35.460

 specific

00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:40.539
 call

00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:41.880
 all

00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:42.340
 people

00:34:42.340 --> 00:34:43.019
 we

00:34:43.019 --> 00:34:43.179
 would

00:34:43.179 --> 00:34:43.599
 know

 I

00:34:55.059 --> 00:34:55.420
 suggest

 to

00:34:56.820 --> 00:34:56.980
 this

00:34:56.980 --> 00:34:57.139
 is

00:34:57.139 --> 00:34:57.659
 why

00:34:57.659 --> 00:34:58.279
 Luke

00:34:58.279 --> 00:34:58.759
 gives

00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:08.900
 you'll

00:39:08.900 --> 00:39:09.239
 figure

00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:09.699

 little

00:39:10.980 --> 00:39:11.379

00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:15.579
 secondly

00:39:15.579 --> 00:39:17.899
 do

00:39:17.899 --> 00:39:18.179
 what you

00:39:18.179 --> 00:39:18.679
 are doing

00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:19.879
 until God

00:39:19.879 --> 00:39:20.219
 tells you

00:39:20.219 --> 00:39:20.419

00:39:20.419 --> 00:39:20.819
 otherwise

00:39:20.819 --> 00:39:22.299
 do what

00:39:22.299 --> 00:39:22.519
 you are

00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:22.859

 otherwise

00:39:25.899 --> 00:39:26.119
 right

00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:26.519
 we see the

00:39:30.579 --> 00:39:31.379
 comes along

00:39:31.379 --> 00:39:31.659

00:39:31.659 --> 00:39:32.319
 decide to

00:39:32.319 --> 00:39:33.339
 get out

 you'll

00:40:16.579 --> 00:40:16.880
 know

00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:17.140
 when

00:40:18.140 --> 00:40:18.480
 time

 a

00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:19.720
 hear

 speaking

00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:22.140
 to

00:40:22.140 --> 00:40:22.420
 you

00:40:22.420 --> 00:40:23.980
 don't

00:40:23.980 --> 00:40:24.539
 expect

00:40:24.539 --> 00:40:24.780
 a

00:40:24.780 --> 00:40:25.079
 vision

00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:26.420
 don't

00:40:26.420 --> 00:40:26.860
 look

00:40:26.860 --> 00:40:27.099
 for

00:40:27.099 --> 00:40:27.280
 a

00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:27.660
 sign

00:40:27.660 --> 00:40:28.260
 we'll

00:40:28.539 --> 00:40:28.660
 you

 certainly

00:41:03.539 --> 00:41:04.000
 words

00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:04.820
 unsettling

 your

00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:05.619
 minds

00:41:05.619 --> 00:41:06.259
 although

00:41:06.259 --> 00:41:06.519
 we

00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:06.820
 gave

00:41:06.820 --> 00:41:07.039
 them

00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:07.539
 no

00:41:10.179 --> 00:41:11.000
 it

00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:11.219
 has

00:41:11.219 --> 00:41:11.719
 seemed

00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:12.460
 good

00:41:12.460 --> 00:41:13.099
 to

00:41:13.099 --> 00:41:13.480
 us

00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:14.599
 it

00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:14.920
 seemed

00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:15.119
 good

00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:15.279
 to

00:41:15.279 --> 00:41:15.579
 us

00:41:15.579 --> 00:41:15.800
 right

00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:16.340
 we

00:41:16.340 --> 00:41:16.599
 have

00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:17.360
 studied

00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:17.800

00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:18.099
 heard

00:41:18.259 --> 00:41:18.719

00:41:18.719 --> 00:41:19.500

00:41:19.500 --> 00:41:19.779
 makes

00:41:19.779 --> 00:41:20.440
 sense

00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:21.219
 that we

00:41:21.219 --> 00:41:21.420
 would

00:41:21.420 --> 00:41:22.139
 send

00:41:25.219 --> 00:41:25.480
 25

00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:25.800
 goes on

00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:26.000
 to say

00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:26.239
 having

00:41:27.300 --> 00:41:28.599
 collectively

00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:29.139

00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:29.819

00:42:48.860 --> 00:42:49.340
 feeling

00:42:49.340 --> 00:42:49.680
 is

00:42:49.680 --> 00:42:50.099
 probably

00:42:50.099 --> 00:42:50.720
 sad

00:42:50.720 --> 00:42:50.840
 but

00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:50.920
 you

00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:51.059
 should

00:42:51.059 --> 00:42:51.460
 not

00:42:51.460 --> 00:42:51.700
 jump

00:42:51.700 --> 00:42:51.900
 off

00:42:51.900 --> 00:42:52.079
 the

00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:52.360
 roof

00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:53.300
 of

00:42:53.300 --> 00:42:53.440
 the

00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:53.700
 church

00:42:53.700 --> 00:42:54.139
 building

00:42:54.139 --> 00:42:56.220
 and

00:42:56.220 --> 00:42:56.320
 so

00:42:56.320 --> 00:42:56.599
 people

00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:57.539
 feel

00:42:57.539 --> 00:42:58.000
 called

00:42:58.000 --> 00:42:58.180
 to

00:42:58.180 --> 00:42:58.320
 do

00:42:58.320 --> 00:42:58.539
 things

00:42:58.539 --> 00:42:58.700
 all

00:42:58.700 --> 00:42:58.820
 the

00:42:58.820 --> 00:42:59.260
 time

00:42:59.260 --> 00:42:59.720
 I

00:42:59.720 --> 00:42:59.980
 know

00:42:59.980 --> 00:43:00.639
 quite a

00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:00.740
 few

00:43:00.740 --> 00:43:00.940
 men

00:43:00.940 --> 00:43:01.119

00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:01.320
 have

00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:01.740
 felt

00:43:01.740 --> 00:43:02.119

 they

00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:04.680

 it's

00:43:36.120 --> 00:43:37.019
 let's

00:43:37.019 --> 00:43:37.320
 find

00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:37.560
 a way

00:43:37.560 --> 00:43:37.700
 to

00:43:37.700 --> 00:43:38.120
 channel

00:43:38.120 --> 00:43:38.960
 the

 energy

00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:39.480
 that

00:43:39.480 --> 00:43:39.600
 you

00:43:39.600 --> 00:43:39.900
 have

00:43:39.900 --> 00:43:40.039
 for

00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:40.180
 the

00:43:40.180 --> 00:43:40.400
 sake

00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:40.860
 of

 the

00:43:40.980 --> 00:43:41.220
 king

00:43:41.220 --> 00:43:41.360
 in

00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:41.440
 a

00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:41.559
 way

00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:41.720
 that's

00:43:41.720 --> 00:43:41.800
 going

00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:41.800


00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:41.920
 be

00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:42.260
 most

00:43:42.260 --> 00:43:42.700
 effective

00:43:42.700 --> 00:43:43.980
 for

 kingdom

00:43:44.380 --> 00:43:45.059
 so

00:43:45.059 --> 00:43:45.559
 seek

00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:46.519
 wise

00:43:47.420 --> 00:43:47.619
 and

00:43:47.619 --> 00:43:47.740
 we

00:43:47.740 --> 00:43:47.900
 see

00:43:47.900 --> 00:43:48.079
 that

00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:48.300
 here

00:43:48.300 --> 00:43:48.539
 right

00:43:48.539 --> 00:43:48.840
 Paul

00:43:48.840 --> 00:43:49.139
 has

00:43:49.139 --> 00:43:49.300
 a

00:43:49.300 --> 00:43:49.760
 vision

00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:50.860
 we

00:43:50.860 --> 00:43:51.000
 don't

00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:51.099
 get

00:43:51.099 --> 00:43:51.240
 the

00:43:51.900 --> 00:43:52.079
 this

00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:52.260
 but

00:43:52.260 --> 00:43:52.360
 he

00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:52.900
 goes

00:43:52.900 --> 00:43:53.099
 to

00:43:53.099 --> 00:43:53.400
 them

00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:53.700
 and

00:43:53.700 --> 00:43:54.360
 they

00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:55.340
 together

00:43:55.340 --> 00:43:56.139
 conclude

00:43:56.139 --> 00:43:57.340
 that

00:43:57.340 --> 00:43:57.619
 God

00:43:57.619 --> 00:43:58.099
 called

00:43:58.099 --> 00:43:58.599

00:43:58.599 --> 00:43:59.019
 called

 us

00:43:59.579 --> 00:43:59.940
 to

00:43:59.940 --> 00:44:00.160
 preach

00:44:00.160 --> 00:44:00.300
 the

00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:02.539
 and

00:44:02.539 --> 00:44:02.619
 so

00:44:02.619 --> 00:44:02.740
 they

00:44:02.740 --> 00:44:02.960
 go

00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:03.440
 as

00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:03.960
 a

00:44:07.099 --> 00:44:07.300
 this

00:44:07.300 --> 00:44:07.680
 work

00:44:07.680 --> 00:44:08.220
 that's

00:44:08.220 --> 00:44:08.380
 ahead

00:44:08.380 --> 00:44:08.519
 of

00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:08.700
 them

00:44:08.700 --> 00:44:10.140
 so

00:44:10.140 --> 00:44:11.300
 as

00:44:11.300 --> 00:44:11.480
 we

 this

00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:14.480
 right
