00:00:37,500 –> 00:00:39,400
That bit where we going to get
mugged?

9
00:00:39,400 –> 00:00:40,900
And he pulls out a little flick
knife.

10
00:00:41,500 –> 00:00:43,700
He’s got a knife, man.
And he goes, no, that’s not a

11
00:00:43,708 –> 00:00:45,600
knife and he pulls it out of
you.

12
00:00:45,700 –> 00:00:47,500
That’s a knife and says huge
one.

13
00:00:48,200 –> 00:00:49,400
Yeah.
Well, I was thinking the same

14
00:00:49,400 –> 00:00:50,900
thing as that.
That’s not a cookie.

15
00:00:52,000 –> 00:01:00,800
That’s a cookie, the size of it.
Something to nibble on while I

16
00:01:00,800 –> 00:01:11,600
speak now.
Where we left Abraham and lot.

17
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:19,100
Welcome Back Kotter, lot went
back to Sun so where we were

18
00:01:19,100 –> 00:01:23,600
yesterday, do I do chapter 14
with you yesterday, Yeah, the

19
00:01:23,600 –> 00:01:27,400
Captivity.
How is captured and then

20
00:01:27,400 –> 00:01:31,300
released?
Well, Here’s the thing.

21
00:01:33,000 –> 00:01:36,100
You know when Abraham this is I
want to talk to you about

22
00:01:36,100 –> 00:01:38,700
Brotherly Love.
Now first of all, tell you tell

23
00:01:38,700 –> 00:01:41,500
you a story about Abraham
Lincoln if you heard this story.

24
00:01:43,700 –> 00:01:45,400
And I heard Uncle Bob wanted me
to tell you, okay?

25
00:01:45,800 –> 00:01:52,500
So it’s like this lot had been
taken captive by Kato glioma and

26
00:01:52,500 –> 00:01:54,200
he was heading back to Babylon,
right?

27
00:01:54,200 –> 00:01:57,200
Yeah, he couldn’t get out.
He’s changed like this.

28
00:01:57,500 –> 00:02:00,100
Sorry for himself and heading.
Back towards Babylon, where he

29
00:02:00,100 –> 00:02:02,600
shouldn’t be going, only the
rebels and the captives go back

30
00:02:02,600 –> 00:02:04,800
there.
A lot should have been part of

31
00:02:04,808 –> 00:02:09,300
that but Abraham races up and
captures him and drags him back

32
00:02:09,500 –> 00:02:15,900
and let him go free.
And the story is this, who do

33
00:02:15,908 –> 00:02:17,500
you guys know who Abraham
Lincoln is?

34
00:02:19,400 –> 00:02:22,700
Let me tell you he was a
president of the United States.

35
00:02:23,800 –> 00:02:27,200
Was he a nice one?
Okay, he’s a good president.

36
00:02:27,400 –> 00:02:31,600
He came into town one day and
back in those days they delved

37
00:02:31,600 –> 00:02:34,000
in slaves and there was a slave
market on and there was this

38
00:02:34,000 –> 00:02:38,000
beautiful slave girl who was
being sold and getting bidded on

39
00:02:38,700 –> 00:02:46,300
and There was the notorious
Infamous cruel, nasty, slave

40
00:02:46,300 –> 00:02:50,000
owner, who was bidding for her
and Abraham Lincoln saw this and

41
00:02:50,000 –> 00:02:53,800
thought, I can’t let, I can’t
let him take her.

42
00:02:54,100 –> 00:02:57,100
He’ll treat a bad like he whips
his servants.

43
00:02:57,100 –> 00:02:59,500
He makes his slaves work.
Terribly hard.

44
00:02:59,500 –> 00:03:02,400
It would just be terrible.
So he started to bid against him

45
00:03:02,800 –> 00:03:05,600
and the price was going right up
on this and the cranky old slave

46
00:03:05,600 –> 00:03:08,500
owner in the end, just sent.
If you wanted that much, you can

47
00:03:08,500 –> 00:03:10,800
have her and let her go so
Abraham.

48
00:03:10,900 –> 00:03:16,000
I’m Lincoln takes this beautiful
girl outside the city and lets

49
00:03:16,000 –> 00:03:19,800
it Go free and she doesn’t,
she’s like, what are you doing?

50
00:03:19,800 –> 00:03:22,400
And he said, you’re free to go
and she wanted to know.

51
00:03:22,400 –> 00:03:26,300
Like, are you serious?
Like, free to go where he said,

52
00:03:26,300 –> 00:03:30,200
anyway, you want to go?
What really am I free to serve

53
00:03:30,200 –> 00:03:33,600
and to walk wherever I want to
visit all the different towns

54
00:03:33,600 –> 00:03:35,800
around here.
F CK, you’re free to go

55
00:03:35,800 –> 00:03:39,200
anywhere, you want to.
So she said, well if I’m free

56
00:03:40,000 –> 00:03:43,800
I’m coming back in with You I’m
going to serve you if I get a

57
00:03:43,800 –> 00:03:46,700
choice in the matter.
So she actually joined herself

58
00:03:46,700 –> 00:03:49,900
with Abraham Lincoln served him
and that’s what Christ has done

59
00:03:49,900 –> 00:03:54,000
to us guys.
Is anyone here baptized all you

60
00:03:54,000 –> 00:03:56,000
guys have been set free by
Christ.

61
00:03:56,200 –> 00:03:59,600
When you are serving.
King sin is a nasty cruel slave

62
00:03:59,600 –> 00:04:01,200
owner, he doesn’t give you a
choice.

63
00:04:01,200 –> 00:04:04,500
You serve me or you die.
You serve me.

64
00:04:04,600 –> 00:04:06,600
You’ll die anyway, but you’re
going to serve me.

65
00:04:06,800 –> 00:04:09,600
That’s what he says.
And Christ comes and captures,

66
00:04:09,600 –> 00:04:12,400
you and says you’re free.
Now, you have a choice of sin

67
00:04:12,400 –> 00:04:14,800
and death or one hand, you have
Christ and righteousness and the

68
00:04:14,800 –> 00:04:17,899
eternal life in the Kingdom, on
the other, it’s your choice.

69
00:04:18,399 –> 00:04:21,800
Now, it’s our choice to serve,
whoever we want, Abraham had

70
00:04:21,800 –> 00:04:26,500
given lot that choice and
Abraham had had his heart broken

71
00:04:26,800 –> 00:04:30,900
because lot had gone back to
Sodom what are you thinking?

72
00:04:30,900 –> 00:04:34,800
Lat love had caused Abraham so
much offense but what did what

73
00:04:34,800 –> 00:04:38,900
did Abraham do that Abraham?
Get on our key and can you say

74
00:04:38,900 –> 00:04:40,900
well you’re not my friend
anymore, not going to hang

75
00:04:40,900 –> 00:04:45,000
around you.
Did he say anything like that?

76
00:04:45,800 –> 00:04:48,200
Even when God said to him, but
don’t worry Abraham.

77
00:04:48,300 –> 00:04:52,000
It’s not going to be an adopted
son from your own loins.

78
00:04:52,200 –> 00:04:54,700
You’ll have your own son,
Abraham didn’t think.

79
00:04:55,900 –> 00:04:59,500
I don’t even need you anymore.
Like, God’s given me my own son.

80
00:05:00,700 –> 00:05:04,500
I see however, him don’t even
think like that Abraham, never

81
00:05:04,500 –> 00:05:06,400
stop.
Loving lat.

82
00:05:06,800 –> 00:05:08,600
Do you think lot deserve to be
loved?

83
00:05:09,600 –> 00:05:11,500
Lot didn’t even want to be loved
lot.

84
00:05:11,500 –> 00:05:14,500
Didn’t even think he needed
loving, but Abraham knew he did

85
00:05:14,500 –> 00:05:17,300
and never stop loving.
He wanted to show affection to

86
00:05:17,300 –> 00:05:23,200
his, brother lot, all the time.
And so he’s always looking, even

87
00:05:23,200 –> 00:05:29,900
though he had very cause good
cause for deep hurt and offense,

88
00:05:29,900 –> 00:05:32,400
and for the relationship to a
broken down into, never be

89
00:05:32,400 –> 00:05:34,400
friends.
Again, you never sleeping over

90
00:05:34,400 –> 00:05:38,300
at my house again.
Oh, he couldn’t didn’t have any

91
00:05:38,300 –> 00:05:39,600
either.
Have to ring him up again.

92
00:05:40,400 –> 00:05:43,700
Abraham wasn’t like that.
He had so much love and what

93
00:05:43,700 –> 00:05:47,600
we’re going to see today is that
the same love Abraham had is the

94
00:05:47,600 –> 00:05:52,900
same love that the Lord Jesus
Christ has got for us now I’ve

95
00:05:52,907 –> 00:05:56,600
got a question for you.
Where would Abraham have learnt

96
00:05:57,300 –> 00:06:01,100
all this love Where would he
have?

97
00:06:01,100 –> 00:06:04,800
Learnt the show so much enduring
and patient love to another

98
00:06:04,800 –> 00:06:19,200
person another body to do.
About time you guys ain’t so I’m

99
00:06:19,200 –> 00:06:20,500
going to have that whole thing
finished.

100
00:06:24,700 –> 00:06:31,100
From God, Abraham had shown by
himself by God incredible.

101
00:06:31,100 –> 00:06:35,400
Love God had brought him adverb,
he treated him in a patient way

102
00:06:35,500 –> 00:06:38,300
as he came through Hadrian.
All the way down to shechem

103
00:06:38,500 –> 00:06:41,500
between Bethel and AI.
When Abraham went into Egypt,

104
00:06:41,500 –> 00:06:45,200
God was patiently showing love
and care for Abraham.

105
00:06:45,800 –> 00:06:47,500
Now, what has it got?
What sort of love has God shown

106
00:06:47,500 –> 00:06:51,200
to you?
Give me an example of the love

107
00:06:51,200 –> 00:06:59,400
that God shown to you guys.
How do you know God loves you to

108
00:06:59,400 –> 00:07:01,700
hear him at night?
So as he tucks you in the bed,

109
00:07:04,900 –> 00:07:07,900
so, How do you know he loves
you?

110
00:07:14,700 –> 00:07:16,500
Yet we’re here right now.
Your breathing.

111
00:07:16,500 –> 00:07:18,900
Are you above ground?
Yeah, that’s a good indication

112
00:07:18,900 –> 00:07:20,300
that God loves you.
What else?

113
00:07:22,500 –> 00:07:24,100
He’s giving us his son, the Lord
Jesus.

114
00:07:24,100 –> 00:07:31,300
Now, imagine giving Your son to
somebody else to show you where

115
00:07:31,300 –> 00:07:34,100
your life will end up.
If you don’t serve God, man.

116
00:07:34,100 –> 00:07:38,800
That’s love like, why would God
care that much for me to give

117
00:07:38,800 –> 00:07:43,300
you son to go through all of
that, to show what Sinners and

118
00:07:43,300 –> 00:07:48,500
sin will do to a righteous man,
if you don’t turn away from sin,

119
00:07:48,800 –> 00:07:50,100
that’s what’s going to happen to
you.

120
00:07:51,100 –> 00:07:55,400
Man, he loves us so much, guys.
He wants us in the Kingdom, so

121
00:07:55,400 –> 00:07:59,000
badly.
And you know what, when we’re

122
00:07:59,000 –> 00:08:02,500
then receive that love of God,
women to show that love back to

123
00:08:02,500 –> 00:08:05,300
each other, are we?
That’s how we learn to love one

124
00:08:05,300 –> 00:08:07,900
another.
By the love gods shown to us and

125
00:08:07,900 –> 00:08:10,700
we don’t always I don’t know
about you guys, but look at the

126
00:08:10,700 –> 00:08:13,100
person next to you for a second.
Are they always lovable?

127
00:08:15,500 –> 00:08:18,700
LOL I can tell you now just
looking at you don’t all look

128
00:08:18,700 –> 00:08:22,300
that lovable and you might think
that about me too but that’s

129
00:08:22,300 –> 00:08:26,000
okay.
But you think about this when

130
00:08:26,000 –> 00:08:32,400
are you meant to love a person?
The most When the most

131
00:08:32,400 –> 00:08:36,799
unlovable, that’s the big trial
for us and Abraham found.

132
00:08:36,799 –> 00:08:40,100
It difficult.
No doubt he orders still felt

133
00:08:40,100 –> 00:08:43,600
the pain of lots of fans and
hurt, but he still wanted to

134
00:08:43,608 –> 00:08:45,900
love him now you’re so funny.
We don’t always love our

135
00:08:45,900 –> 00:08:48,400
brothers and sisters, okay,
especially when they upset the

136
00:08:48,400 –> 00:08:49,700
place.
I mean, how hard is it just to

137
00:08:49,700 –> 00:08:52,800
go to the hall?
Be happy, be a friend and do

138
00:08:52,800 –> 00:08:54,900
everything, right?
Why is it going to be always

139
00:08:54,900 –> 00:08:58,700
somebody like you or you over
there to upset everything

140
00:08:59,000 –> 00:09:00,700
everything.
In this occasion was going

141
00:09:00,700 –> 00:09:04,300
really fine and in our little
occlusal happy little family

142
00:09:04,300 –> 00:09:07,100
friendship, group, until you
appeared, and you had to do

143
00:09:07,100 –> 00:09:09,100
this.
Now, my brother’s like, we were

144
00:09:09,100 –> 00:09:12,500
at home when we were little
kids, okay, this is really funny

145
00:09:12,500 –> 00:09:16,700
because it was like that.
There’s me and Mal, and Andy,

146
00:09:17,000 –> 00:09:19,700
and we’re all sort of close in
age and we used to get on like,

147
00:09:19,800 –> 00:09:22,000
brothers and fight and punch
each other all the time.

148
00:09:22,000 –> 00:09:24,900
We had a great time and there
was one day.

149
00:09:24,900 –> 00:09:28,500
There were given mum really hard
time because it was pouring rain

150
00:09:28,500 –> 00:09:30,700
outside.
Now boys, don’t like staying

151
00:09:30,700 –> 00:09:32,600
inside.
Okay, is that right?

152
00:09:32,900 –> 00:09:35,300
You want to get out and
particularly if it’s raining

153
00:09:35,700 –> 00:09:38,600
this, what better day to go out,
then when it’s raining and Mum

154
00:09:38,600 –> 00:09:40,400
can’t understand that, you know,
but it’s raining.

155
00:09:40,700 –> 00:09:44,600
Why don’t you boys just sit down
nicely and read a book or write

156
00:09:44,600 –> 00:09:49,100
a letter to a friend of a like?
What are you talking about, man?

157
00:09:49,100 –> 00:09:52,400
We’re boys wouldn’t get out
there and she’s like, she was

158
00:09:52,400 –> 00:09:54,000
like, what are you doing
outside?

159
00:09:54,000 –> 00:09:56,100
Anyone.
We said well, you know, dig some

160
00:09:56,100 –> 00:09:59,600
holes.
In Dad’s backyard and she said,

161
00:09:59,600 –> 00:10:01,500
well, I’ve had enough of you
just go wedding.

162
00:10:01,500 –> 00:10:04,000
I don’t care long as you put
your raincoat on.

163
00:10:04,100 –> 00:10:06,900
So we put their raincoats on,
you know, but that didn’t do

164
00:10:06,900 –> 00:10:09,900
anything because it was made the
rain was coming down sideways.

165
00:10:10,000 –> 00:10:12,300
It was just torrential, so we’re
out there.

166
00:10:12,400 –> 00:10:15,000
I take a shovel Mal’s.
Got a whole, you know, those big

167
00:10:15,000 –> 00:10:17,700
flat things.
Mao’s got a ho and Andrews got a

168
00:10:17,700 –> 00:10:22,200
pic and we’re digging this giant
big hole in Dad’s backyard for

169
00:10:22,200 –> 00:10:25,600
no other reason.
Then we just wanted to and we’re

170
00:10:25,600 –> 00:10:29,300
looking for worms and Anyway the
classic thing is males.

171
00:10:29,300 –> 00:10:33,200
Got the how he’s got about to
take this Almighty, big swing

172
00:10:33,300 –> 00:10:38,300
and Andrews sees our Worm.
But he doesn’t just say, hey,

173
00:10:38,300 –> 00:10:44,000
Matt now look, there’s a worm.
Just there he goes.

174
00:10:44,500 –> 00:10:50,000
Look there’s a way and now goes
crack straight across the top of

175
00:10:50,000 –> 00:10:53,000
his head.
With the ho are to go face down

176
00:10:53,000 –> 00:11:00,200
in the mud And we just got it.
Oh yeah, idiot will say like I

177
00:11:00,208 –> 00:11:03,400
didn’t feel one tiny bit of love
and affection for him.

178
00:11:03,400 –> 00:11:05,900
Then I couldn’t care less it.
Are you eat it?

179
00:11:06,300 –> 00:11:08,300
Get up.
He’s not even moving.

180
00:11:08,300 –> 00:11:11,300
He’s faced out of the mud.
Bloods coming out like an oil

181
00:11:11,300 –> 00:11:14,900
sump and we would all we were
worried about was you messed up

182
00:11:14,900 –> 00:11:20,100
the whole day, man, ma allowed
them for your mom.

183
00:11:20,300 –> 00:11:27,000
I was always clean mom.
Males killed Andy Eddie Hazel

184
00:11:27,000 –> 00:11:29,900
groggy standing up blood running
down his face.

185
00:11:29,900 –> 00:11:33,400
Mom comes out.
She screams or is wet in the

186
00:11:33,400 –> 00:11:37,200
cast who straight to the
hospital, Stitch him up, you

187
00:11:37,200 –> 00:11:41,100
know, that’s boys for you.
But you don’t always love your

188
00:11:41,100 –> 00:11:45,700
brother’s do here and at the
Times whether the most

189
00:11:45,700 –> 00:11:48,100
unlovable, that’s when we should
be loving one.

190
00:11:48,100 –> 00:11:51,900
Another the most and what I want
to show you guys today is is

191
00:11:51,900 –> 00:11:53,900
what Abraham did not just just
see this.

192
00:11:55,400 –> 00:11:59,300
Look at that.
That’s the sort of Love Abraham

193
00:11:59,300 –> 00:12:02,700
had for lat and he didn’t
deserve it and most of the time

194
00:12:02,700 –> 00:12:05,300
he didn’t want it.
Nor did he even recognize or

195
00:12:05,300 –> 00:12:08,500
acknowledge that?
He needed it a lot took, sorry

196
00:12:08,500 –> 00:12:12,100
Abraham took a lot out of Earth,
he refused to fight with lot in

197
00:12:12,100 –> 00:12:15,100
Genesis 13.
He risked his life.

198
00:12:18,400 –> 00:12:21,600
Risk your life to save one of
your, your brothers, or your

199
00:12:21,600 –> 00:12:26,400
sisters to save light depressed.
He was depressed when he’d lost

200
00:12:26,400 –> 00:12:28,100
him, even when God said, don’t
you worry?

201
00:12:28,100 –> 00:12:31,400
I’ll get you another son.
He was still depressed that he

202
00:12:31,400 –> 00:12:34,900
lost a lot.
He’s selflessly intercedes for

203
00:12:34,900 –> 00:12:37,500
like and he rises early to look
for lat.

204
00:12:38,000 –> 00:12:44,300
This is amazing because you and
I were lot and we don’t deserve

205
00:12:44,300 –> 00:12:46,900
that sort of Love.
Now, what I want to show you

206
00:12:47,000 –> 00:12:51,200
really quickly Is Hebrews
chapter 13, would you guys turn

207
00:12:51,200 –> 00:12:56,900
up the Hebrews 13, please?
You’re going to need some pens,

208
00:12:56,900 –> 00:12:59,500
pictures books, what he called
coloring in pencils, that’s what

209
00:12:59,500 –> 00:13:01,500
we need.
Need some coloring in pencil

210
00:13:01,500 –> 00:13:05,700
because I want to use a take a
few notes and color in a little

211
00:13:05,700 –> 00:13:07,400
bit as we going because Hebrews
13.

212
00:13:07,400 –> 00:13:13,600
Did You Know, Hebrews 13 is
about Abraham and lot hands up.

213
00:13:13,600 –> 00:13:15,900
Who knew Hebrews 13 was about
Abraham and lot.

214
00:13:17,700 –> 00:13:19,700
So it’s not a well-known
chapter.

215
00:13:20,700 –> 00:13:23,900
But there’s strong Illusions.
Back to Abraham and lots life.

216
00:13:23,900 –> 00:13:27,700
Now, just going to ask you a
question, just think, just think

217
00:13:28,500 –> 00:13:32,400
right at the end of Hebrews.
Why would the Apostle Paul

218
00:13:33,000 –> 00:13:39,700
choose lot as an example, to
wind, up his message, with the

219
00:13:39,700 –> 00:13:43,800
Hebrews, you’re Thinkin, you’re
writing this letter to the

220
00:13:43,800 –> 00:13:47,000
epistle, to the Hebrews, you
talked about Melchizedek and

221
00:13:47,000 –> 00:13:50,400
Abraham and sonship and
inheritance.

222
00:13:50,500 –> 00:13:56,100
Since Hebrews, Hebrews rings a
bell, why would you end up with

223
00:13:56,100 –> 00:14:00,000
a final exhortation and use lot
as an example?

224
00:14:00,000 –> 00:14:03,700
What do you reckon guys?
Another bought this.

225
00:14:07,000 –> 00:14:08,800
I’m going to pick one for
tomorrow, as well.

226
00:14:15,900 –> 00:14:23,000
Any ideas?
Yeah, in what way, though.

227
00:14:25,600 –> 00:14:27,900
Give you a hint guys, if you’re
a Hebrew.

228
00:14:29,500 –> 00:14:32,400
If you’re a son of Abraham,
you’re a Hebrew, what do you

229
00:14:32,400 –> 00:14:37,500
resist?
What are the Hebrews stand

230
00:14:37,500 –> 00:14:42,700
against?
Babylon the city.

231
00:14:43,100 –> 00:14:47,100
Hebrews say I’m not building the
city and I ain’t leaving,

232
00:14:47,100 –> 00:14:50,300
they’re getting out of the city.
I’m going to live in a tent.

233
00:14:50,800 –> 00:14:56,800
That’s what Hebrews do these men
in Hebrews here who’s the letter

234
00:14:56,800 –> 00:15:02,700
to the Hebrews written to but to
Jews who had gone back to what

235
00:15:02,700 –> 00:15:07,400
city?
Jerusalem.

236
00:15:08,300 –> 00:15:12,300
They gone back to the law, they
left the Collision, they left

237
00:15:12,300 –> 00:15:15,700
the tents, the pilgrims they
left their Collision.

238
00:15:15,700 –> 00:15:19,100
They go back to the law, back to
Jerusalem, and they act, unless

239
00:15:19,100 –> 00:15:20,600
it was still Hebrews, you’re not
Hebrews.

240
00:15:20,600 –> 00:15:23,800
Because if you’re Hebrews, you’d
stand aside from the city, what

241
00:15:23,800 –> 00:15:26,500
better example now than right at
the end of Hebrews.

242
00:15:27,700 –> 00:15:31,000
What’s just about to happen to
Jerusalem, guys.

243
00:15:35,600 –> 00:15:40,000
Right at the end.
We’re, yeah, we’re in about the

244
00:15:40,000 –> 00:15:41,700
year.
I think of in the late 50s are,

245
00:15:41,700 –> 00:15:47,700
if not the late 60s ad, we are
about to witness the destruction

246
00:15:47,700 –> 00:15:51,400
of that City.
Yeah, you understand that?

247
00:15:51,500 –> 00:15:58,100
So, Paul say, you got to get out
of the city, so in your mind,

248
00:15:59,300 –> 00:16:03,900
Who would you go to as an
example to tie up your final

249
00:16:03,900 –> 00:16:07,200
exhortation, then go back to the
life of lots.

250
00:16:07,700 –> 00:16:11,900
Who had to if you wanted to
survive, get out of the city.

251
00:16:12,300 –> 00:16:14,100
So let’s go and have a look at
this little section.

252
00:16:14,100 –> 00:16:17,200
Let’s see if there are allusions
to Abraham and lot.

253
00:16:17,200 –> 00:16:20,400
Okay, verse 1, let Brotherly
Love continue, why should I love

254
00:16:20,400 –> 00:16:22,500
me brother?
When he messes up my day?

255
00:16:25,000 –> 00:16:31,400
Why should I love my brother?
What is the next verse say?

256
00:16:31,800 –> 00:16:33,800
What is there is a good
motivation for loving my

257
00:16:33,800 –> 00:16:39,000
brother?
Or just to have brotherly love.

258
00:16:40,300 –> 00:16:44,600
You know, broke everyone’s
saying that you guys just over

259
00:16:44,600 –> 00:16:50,900
your heads.
What is verse to say, guys?

260
00:16:52,200 –> 00:16:55,900
Guys, can’t read Quran.
What’s the next verse say?

261
00:16:57,800 –> 00:17:02,800
Why should I show Brotherly?
Love exactly, man, like me.

262
00:17:02,900 –> 00:17:04,800
What?
If somebody came through and

263
00:17:04,800 –> 00:17:07,099
said, oh yeah, I’m a Christian
Delphia and you’ve never seen

264
00:17:07,099 –> 00:17:10,400
before and you say, well he have
a, have a cup of tea and some

265
00:17:10,400 –> 00:17:13,700
cookies and then they left and
you never saw him again.

266
00:17:14,000 –> 00:17:19,400
And he thought Yeah, wondered if
you gave way when somebody’s

267
00:17:19,400 –> 00:17:22,500
coming through a door ever gave
way to an angel, somebody never

268
00:17:22,500 –> 00:17:26,400
seen or do you just go as you
coming, you know, bottlenecking

269
00:17:26,400 –> 00:17:32,200
to the boys, get on first.
Have you ever given way to an

270
00:17:32,200 –> 00:17:33,600
angel?
You ever met an angel?

271
00:17:33,700 –> 00:17:36,600
You should show Brotherly Love
who in the Bible actually has

272
00:17:36,600 –> 00:17:41,400
entertained angels, unawares
Abraham.

273
00:17:42,300 –> 00:17:45,700
Did somebody say Abraham’s?
I would’ve caught just Abraham.

274
00:17:48,200 –> 00:17:51,800
What about lat?
Probably even lot more so than

275
00:17:51,800 –> 00:17:53,900
Abraham.
Because when there’s men came to

276
00:17:53,900 –> 00:17:58,400
Sodom at the end of the day, lot
had no idea that they were

277
00:17:58,400 –> 00:18:03,300
Angels.
Now, this is interesting because

278
00:18:03,300 –> 00:18:06,000
straightaway, the context of
Hebrews 13 is going back to

279
00:18:06,000 –> 00:18:12,300
where what chapters are we going
back to Of Genesis.

280
00:18:17,500 –> 00:18:20,300
Little bit further on when did
Abraham entertain and lot

281
00:18:20,300 –> 00:18:34,100
entertained, the angels unaware?
I’m not going to give the

282
00:18:34,100 –> 00:18:35,800
answers today, guys.
I’m going to keep eating my

283
00:18:35,800 –> 00:18:40,100
cookie, I’m distracted now.
All right, thank you.

284
00:18:40,100 –> 00:18:43,000
Jonathan, 89 are waiting to
decide to take the bike.

285
00:18:45,200 –> 00:18:50,500
Genesis 18 and 19.
Now this is excellent.

286
00:18:51,500 –> 00:18:56,100
This is really good.
Our minds are back there, but

287
00:18:56,100 –> 00:18:58,400
don’t turn there.
Just thing we go through.

288
00:18:58,400 –> 00:19:01,000
This is where we’re up to, so
Hebrews 11.

289
00:19:02,400 –> 00:19:05,700
Remember them that are in prison
as though in prison with them.

290
00:19:06,300 –> 00:19:08,700
Those who are mistreated since
you are also in the body.

291
00:19:08,700 –> 00:19:13,500
Now it’s a strange verse.
Can I ask you in terms of

292
00:19:13,500 –> 00:19:16,500
Abraham and lot?
Who was the one who was in

293
00:19:16,500 –> 00:19:18,000
prison?
Who is the captive?

294
00:19:23,500 –> 00:19:30,200
When was Lot captive?
From the moment, he left

295
00:19:30,200 –> 00:19:32,700
Abraham.
He was a captive and he needed

296
00:19:32,700 –> 00:19:35,900
Deliverance.
In fact, this words used of us

297
00:19:35,900 –> 00:19:38,900
from our enemies from of us,
from death and us, from our

298
00:19:38,900 –> 00:19:42,800
sins, and the power of Darkness.
Look at that lot needed

299
00:19:42,800 –> 00:19:45,400
delivering.
Second Peter says, God knows how

300
00:19:45,400 –> 00:19:48,000
to deliver The Godly from
Temptation.

301
00:19:48,000 –> 00:19:51,800
He knows how to deliver us.
In other words, the only you

302
00:19:51,800 –> 00:19:56,300
guys ever delivered anybody
before rescued someone.

303
00:19:56,300 –> 00:19:57,300
Who’s anybody ever?
Rescued?

304
00:19:57,300 –> 00:20:08,800
Anyone Have you, what happened?
So you rescued them.

305
00:20:08,800 –> 00:20:11,700
So the reason why you rescue
somebody is because they can’t

306
00:20:11,700 –> 00:20:13,400
get out themselves.
Is that not correct?

307
00:20:13,400 –> 00:20:17,900
I mean they need your help.
Locke was a captive just imagine

308
00:20:17,900 –> 00:20:19,100
what it would have been like to
be in.

309
00:20:19,100 –> 00:20:21,500
Sodom would you want someone to
come and rescue you?

310
00:20:22,200 –> 00:20:25,800
If you were there man, if I made
dumb choices like that and you

311
00:20:25,800 –> 00:20:28,000
hear about it.
One day young people, I want you

312
00:20:28,000 –> 00:20:32,000
to fly out to Australia and
redeem me recover, me rescue me

313
00:20:33,100 –> 00:20:35,900
because of you don’t.
Who’s going to if you don’t show

314
00:20:35,900 –> 00:20:38,800
me love and you see me?
And here that I need rescuing

315
00:20:39,400 –> 00:20:43,300
who’s going to save me.
Well, Abraham was keeping his

316
00:20:43,300 –> 00:20:45,700
eye out to save his brother lat
now goes on.

317
00:20:46,900 –> 00:20:50,400
It goes on, in verse 4, look at
this, let marriage be held in

318
00:20:50,400 –> 00:20:54,000
honor, among all and let the
marriage bed, be undefiled for

319
00:20:54,000 –> 00:20:57,200
God will judge whoremongers and
adulterers.

320
00:20:57,900 –> 00:21:02,200
What does that remind us of Who
are the whoremongers and

321
00:21:02,200 –> 00:21:06,600
adulterers, God will judge.
People of Sodom.

322
00:21:06,900 –> 00:21:09,300
And then the next verse says,
are you ready for this?

323
00:21:12,800 –> 00:21:16,400
Keep your life free from the
love of money or covetousness

324
00:21:16,600 –> 00:21:18,500
and be content with what you
have for.

325
00:21:18,500 –> 00:21:21,700
He has said, I will never leave
you nor forsake you so we can

326
00:21:21,700 –> 00:21:23,900
confidently.
Say the Lord is my helper or not

327
00:21:23,900 –> 00:21:24,400
feel it.
Man.

328
00:21:24,400 –> 00:21:27,700
Should do to me.
Now, the word covetousness there

329
00:21:27,700 –> 00:21:29,500
in your Bibles.
You want to make a note of it.

330
00:21:29,700 –> 00:21:33,300
It is phileo, Argos and means
lover of silver.

331
00:21:34,200 –> 00:21:37,000
Now, have you noticed there’s
two loves in this chapter.

332
00:21:37,300 –> 00:21:38,800
What are the two loves in this
chapter?

333
00:21:38,800 –> 00:21:44,000
That we’ve already looked at?
Yeah.

334
00:21:45,200 –> 00:21:48,100
So can you see what’s being
implied?

335
00:21:48,100 –> 00:21:50,600
What happens if you don’t love
your brother?

336
00:21:50,600 –> 00:21:52,800
What will you turn your
affection and love to?

337
00:21:56,900 –> 00:22:00,800
The love of silver.
You see that be content?

338
00:22:00,800 –> 00:22:03,500
Don’t love silver.
Lot.

339
00:22:03,500 –> 00:22:06,500
Love silver, he didn’t love his
brother Ibrahim.

340
00:22:07,500 –> 00:22:11,300
Guys, if you are caught up in
your education’s and your

341
00:22:11,300 –> 00:22:14,500
wonderful opportunities that
University and all the things

342
00:22:14,500 –> 00:22:19,200
that you’re going to do and you
love that, that’s tantamount to

343
00:22:19,200 –> 00:22:22,600
loving silver.
Then you cannot have room in

344
00:22:22,600 –> 00:22:24,600
your life to love your brothers
and sisters.

345
00:22:25,100 –> 00:22:28,100
If you don’t love your brothers
and sisters your affection will

346
00:22:28,100 –> 00:22:31,000
turn to loving somebody else
something else, which is the

347
00:22:31,000 –> 00:22:36,600
love of silver and this was poor
lot situation and he needed to

348
00:22:36,600 –> 00:22:39,700
get out of that.
Now do you know the word content

349
00:22:39,700 –> 00:22:43,100
means we you know how yesterday
we looked at what it means to be

350
00:22:43,800 –> 00:22:46,100
Covetous and we’re how we should
be content.

351
00:22:46,200 –> 00:22:49,700
I love, this isn’t one of my
favorite bits, the word content.

352
00:22:51,000 –> 00:22:53,200
Can somebody give me a picture?
What would it look like if I was

353
00:22:53,200 –> 00:22:55,900
content, somebody give me a
picture of Julie, give a picture

354
00:22:55,900 –> 00:23:01,700
of contentment.
Exactly.

355
00:23:01,700 –> 00:23:05,100
Relax, kick him back.
Relax, my picture of contentment

356
00:23:05,100 –> 00:23:09,100
is a hammock with a coconut and
a straw out of it.

357
00:23:09,400 –> 00:23:12,700
That’s contentment.
But you know what guys that’s

358
00:23:12,700 –> 00:23:15,100
not biblical content, birth of
the word.

359
00:23:15,100 –> 00:23:20,500
Therefore, content is a verb.
How do you do contentment?

360
00:23:20,900 –> 00:23:22,700
It actually comes from a word,
ready for this.

361
00:23:22,900 –> 00:23:26,200
It means to ward off to build up
the walls.

362
00:23:28,400 –> 00:23:30,000
That’s odd.
That’s strange, isn’t it?

363
00:23:30,000 –> 00:23:31,800
How is it that?
A Content person?

364
00:23:32,000 –> 00:23:36,200
A Content person stand there.
Like on, come on, come on.

365
00:23:37,800 –> 00:23:40,000
That’s a Content person using.
Hold on.

366
00:23:40,000 –> 00:23:41,000
Let’s drive.
Well, what?

367
00:23:41,000 –> 00:23:43,400
What is a Content person warding
off?

368
00:23:46,700 –> 00:23:50,100
And saying no to Back Down
Soldier.

369
00:23:51,900 –> 00:23:56,000
The world outside is telling us
every day as it comes in and

370
00:23:56,000 –> 00:23:58,500
procedures our life and has an
encampment around as we’re

371
00:23:58,500 –> 00:24:01,100
building up a wall because it’s
a, you need more.

372
00:24:01,700 –> 00:24:04,700
You need this, you need 120 gig
iPod.

373
00:24:04,900 –> 00:24:08,400
You need that University degree.
You need this and more, and more

374
00:24:08,400 –> 00:24:09,800
of everything, faster and
faster.

375
00:24:09,800 –> 00:24:13,300
And we’ve got to build up a wall
and say, get back, stay down,

376
00:24:13,300 –> 00:24:16,900
keep back.
I’ll fight you dang and we gotta

377
00:24:16,900 –> 00:24:20,000
keep punching the world in its
head and kicking it and keep

378
00:24:20,000 –> 00:24:22,400
running away.
And the world every now and then

379
00:24:22,400 –> 00:24:25,400
breeches Down the Walls and
tricked us over and crash

380
00:24:25,400 –> 00:24:27,000
tackles us.
But we got to keep getting up

381
00:24:27,000 –> 00:24:28,400
and kicking it in the head and
keep running.

382
00:24:28,400 –> 00:24:31,600
Again, that’s what sin does to
us in, is going to breach our

383
00:24:31,600 –> 00:24:34,600
defenses and they content person
is someone who builds up the

384
00:24:34,600 –> 00:24:37,300
walls and Ward’s them off.
As anyone ever been to Graham’s

385
00:24:37,300 –> 00:24:38,400
house?
Grandma’s house.

386
00:24:39,500 –> 00:24:43,700
Who’s he loves grandma and I
love Grandma, right?

387
00:24:43,800 –> 00:24:47,500
Tell me the sole purpose for
which grandma was put on this

388
00:24:47,500 –> 00:24:50,600
Earth.
Food exactly.

389
00:24:50,700 –> 00:24:52,500
Everyone knows.
It’s true.

390
00:24:52,800 –> 00:24:54,900
Absolutely true.
So you get to go see Grandma

391
00:24:54,900 –> 00:24:56,800
knock on the door.
She sees you, and it’s like she

392
00:24:56,800 –> 00:24:58,500
hasn’t seen you in a millennia.
She has.

393
00:25:00,300 –> 00:25:02,800
And she’s so happy and gives you
this huge cuddle.

394
00:25:02,800 –> 00:25:04,400
And then she say hello Grandma.
She’s here.

395
00:25:04,400 –> 00:25:08,500
The cookie puts food in your
mouth and you always turn up

396
00:25:08,600 –> 00:25:12,700
accidentally on purpose at
around lunchtime and she says,

397
00:25:13,100 –> 00:25:15,600
well, quite unexpectedly.
Would you like to stay for

398
00:25:15,600 –> 00:25:18,300
lunch?
Well, G, never thought of that.

399
00:25:18,500 –> 00:25:21,600
Yeah, I’d love to.
I’d love to stay for lunch and

400
00:25:21,600 –> 00:25:23,900
then she feed you.
Have you ever had McDonald’s at

401
00:25:23,900 –> 00:25:26,600
Grandma’s?
No, I don’t think you’ve ever

402
00:25:26,600 –> 00:25:29,400
had KFC and McDonald’s at
Grandma’s, you don’t do KFC.

403
00:25:30,200 –> 00:25:32,500
She makes all her food and it’s
good food.

404
00:25:32,500 –> 00:25:36,000
It’s actually beautiful food,
home cooked meals and you sit

405
00:25:36,000 –> 00:25:39,600
there and you stuck yourself
till you can hardly move.

406
00:25:39,600 –> 00:25:43,700
And then Graham says, but wait,
there’s more and she gives you

407
00:25:43,700 –> 00:25:47,500
dessert which she made she’d
made jelly, you got ice cream

408
00:25:47,500 –> 00:25:50,800
there and nuts and stuff.
And in the end she just keeps

409
00:25:50,800 –> 00:25:53,700
feeding and feeding to what he
has to do is say Grandma.

410
00:25:54,300 –> 00:25:57,900
I’ve had enough, I’m content
Banks and you have to build up

411
00:25:57,900 –> 00:26:00,800
this wall around you of
resistance because grandma, she

412
00:26:00,800 –> 00:26:03,500
didn’t take no for an answer.
The only thing she gets offended

413
00:26:03,500 –> 00:26:05,100
is when you say, I don’t want
your food to kissing.

414
00:26:05,100 –> 00:26:06,500
No, you can have fit.
One more in.

415
00:26:06,500 –> 00:26:08,800
You can have one more
Grandmother Had another.

416
00:26:08,800 –> 00:26:12,400
I know back off and you got to
tell grandma just stand down,

417
00:26:12,400 –> 00:26:16,700
it’s true.
I think the world is like a

418
00:26:16,700 –> 00:26:21,800
great big fat evil grandma.
That’s trying to give us more

419
00:26:21,800 –> 00:26:24,700
and more of everything faster
and faster but only the bad

420
00:26:24,700 –> 00:26:26,800
stuff.
Like there’s a nice grandma and

421
00:26:26,800 –> 00:26:29,500
there’s a big evil grandma
that’s the world.

422
00:26:29,600 –> 00:26:33,500
And guys you’ve got to learn the
secret of contentment.

423
00:26:33,900 –> 00:26:37,500
You’ve got to find contentment
and Ward it off.

424
00:26:37,700 –> 00:26:39,800
So like we said before like
that’s my picture and

425
00:26:39,800 –> 00:26:42,400
contentment.
Nice and relaxed, that’s not

426
00:26:42,400 –> 00:26:44,500
biblical.
Contentment biblical.

427
00:26:44,500 –> 00:26:48,700
Contentment is on your toes.
Fighting striking out warding

428
00:26:48,700 –> 00:26:51,900
off saying I’ve got it Enough
and the world will say, no, you

429
00:26:51,900 –> 00:26:54,800
don’t have some more.
I’ve got enough.

430
00:26:55,400 –> 00:26:58,400
Classic picture isn’t it?
I love grandma.

431
00:27:02,000 –> 00:27:04,800
This used to be my favorite
verse in the New Testament,

432
00:27:04,800 –> 00:27:07,600
actually in the whole Bible.
And the reason why it was is

433
00:27:07,600 –> 00:27:10,700
because it says, I will never
leave thee, nor forsake thee.

434
00:27:11,400 –> 00:27:15,400
But did you know young people
what the Amplified version says?

435
00:27:15,500 –> 00:27:18,200
And this was where, why was my
favorite verse?

436
00:27:18,200 –> 00:27:23,200
And I actually had it I had it
up on my filing cabinet wall

437
00:27:23,300 –> 00:27:29,000
because in the Greek, it’s like
that five eyeball knots. 345

438
00:27:29,000 –> 00:27:32,000
down there where there’s the
other not down there and I’ll

439
00:27:32,000 –> 00:27:34,400
read it to you, okay?
You read it as we go.

440
00:27:34,900 –> 00:27:36,800
Let your character or moral
disposition.

441
00:27:36,800 –> 00:27:40,400
Be free from love of money,
including greed avarice.

442
00:27:41,900 –> 00:27:44,900
Lost and craving for Earthly
possessions and be satisfied

443
00:27:44,900 –> 00:27:48,700
with your present circumstances.
And with what you have for he

444
00:27:48,800 –> 00:27:51,700
himself has said, I will not in
any way fail.

445
00:27:51,700 –> 00:27:54,600
You nor Give You Up nor leave
you without support?

446
00:27:54,600 –> 00:27:57,300
I will not.
I will not, I will not in any

447
00:27:57,300 –> 00:27:59,700
degree.
Leave you helpless nor forsake

448
00:27:59,700 –> 00:28:01,700
nor let you down relax, my hold
on.

449
00:28:01,700 –> 00:28:04,400
You assuredly not?
I love that verse.

450
00:28:04,400 –> 00:28:06,700
It was my favorite verse.
I had it on my wall, he’s to

451
00:28:06,700 –> 00:28:10,800
read it all the time.
Did you know, that’s what the

452
00:28:10,800 –> 00:28:13,200
Greek actually says there’s five
negatives.

453
00:28:15,200 –> 00:28:20,300
Paul says not not not not.
Not why does he say not not not

454
00:28:20,300 –> 00:28:23,200
not not here’s the die, glocke
be not of an avarice.

455
00:28:23,300 –> 00:28:27,500
It’s a greedy disposition be
satisfied, with present things

456
00:28:27,500 –> 00:28:31,500
for he himself.
Has said no I will not leave

457
00:28:31,500 –> 00:28:34,200
thee.
No no, I will not forsake thee.

458
00:28:34,800 –> 00:28:37,400
So you’re reading that verse.
What’s the first question you

459
00:28:37,400 –> 00:28:45,100
ask yourself?
Have another bite my cookie.

460
00:28:52,000 –> 00:28:53,200
What do you think of when you
read that?

461
00:28:59,400 –> 00:29:02,900
Has anybody heard that little
three letter word that starts

462
00:29:02,900 –> 00:29:07,100
with w and ends in a y, has a
height H in the middle.

463
00:29:09,200 –> 00:29:11,900
What’s that word?
Iy.

464
00:29:11,900 –> 00:29:14,200
That’s right.
I remember now, okay.

465
00:29:14,700 –> 00:29:19,400
Paul Paul because you study, you
guys are Bible students, right?

466
00:29:19,400 –> 00:29:24,200
You look at their gay.
Why did you put five negatives

467
00:29:24,200 –> 00:29:28,900
there?
And did you know, there’s this

468
00:29:28,900 –> 00:29:31,000
same principle throughout the
Bible?

469
00:29:32,800 –> 00:29:38,300
to Joshua Josh, Samuel rather in
the Psalms and David where God

470
00:29:38,300 –> 00:29:42,900
says, I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee, but it doesn’t

471
00:29:42,900 –> 00:29:45,700
appear in that same form.
Now, you guys are good.

472
00:29:45,700 –> 00:29:48,500
Bible students, aren’t you?
You want to understand God’s

473
00:29:48,500 –> 00:29:53,000
word, five times in Hebrews 13.
He tells us he will never leave

474
00:29:53,000 –> 00:29:57,800
us now.
Where is the context of Hebrews?

475
00:29:57,800 –> 00:30:04,000
13?
Leading us to where have our

476
00:30:04,000 –> 00:30:18,100
minds already gone back to Where
guys are we have our minds and

477
00:30:18,100 –> 00:30:20,200
Hebrews 13.
Going back to the days of the

478
00:30:20,200 –> 00:30:23,400
Kings.
Days of Nehemiah.

479
00:30:24,400 –> 00:30:30,100
Days of Solomon, what days?
Abraham and lot what chapters

480
00:30:31,400 –> 00:30:34,500
Genesis 18 and 19 that’s the
context.

481
00:30:34,500 –> 00:30:37,500
We’re going to find.
There’s answers for why Paul did

482
00:30:37,500 –> 00:30:40,700
this in Genesis 18 and 19.
Let’s have a quick look before

483
00:30:40,700 –> 00:30:43,600
we run out of time.
I beat you there.

484
00:30:43,600 –> 00:30:46,000
Look, I’m Already There.
Genesis 18.

485
00:30:46,600 –> 00:30:48,600
Do you guys know a Genesis?
18 is about.

486
00:30:48,600 –> 00:30:54,400
I’ll quickly tell you Genesis 18
is about the time when Abraham

487
00:30:54,400 –> 00:30:59,100
entertained, the angels and show
them, amazing hospitality and

488
00:30:59,100 –> 00:31:03,600
they’re finished their food.
And now poor people, Abraham

489
00:31:03,600 –> 00:31:07,900
takes them on their way and as
they’re walking, the angels are

490
00:31:07,900 –> 00:31:09,400
talking to themselves and
Abraham’s.

491
00:31:09,600 –> 00:31:12,400
Evidently a little bit behind.
The angels are talking.

492
00:31:12,400 –> 00:31:15,700
They say, Oh hey, you know that
project we’ve got we’ve got to

493
00:31:15,708 –> 00:31:19,900
go down to Sodom and see how bad
it is and we might destroy it.

494
00:31:19,900 –> 00:31:22,600
We should really tell Abraham
what it is, we’re going to do.

495
00:31:22,900 –> 00:31:27,100
And we’ve got to tell Abraham
because well he’s faithful and

496
00:31:27,100 –> 00:31:31,200
he’s promised to teach his
children the way of Truth and

497
00:31:32,700 –> 00:31:35,300
he’s going to make sure they
learn Justice and judgment and

498
00:31:35,300 –> 00:31:39,000
righteousness.
I will tell him I turn around

499
00:31:39,000 –> 00:31:42,000
Abraham, they say guess what
we’re going to do Abraham, it’s

500
00:31:42,000 –> 00:31:45,100
highly likely that we’re going
to blow Sodom and Gomorrah out

501
00:31:45,100 –> 00:31:50,500
of the ground.
And Abraham goes few, for a

502
00:31:50,500 –> 00:31:52,300
moment there, I thought you’re
going to play The Plains of

503
00:31:52,300 –> 00:31:56,000
memory out of the ground up,
where I had, that’s okay, I’m

504
00:31:56,000 –> 00:31:58,100
safe.
Is that what Abraham said?

505
00:31:59,200 –> 00:32:04,200
I don’t think so.
Abraham’s mind immediately goes

506
00:32:04,400 –> 00:32:08,400
to his son in the faith.
His brother lat and he thinks oh

507
00:32:08,400 –> 00:32:13,300
my goodness, that’s terrible,
because back there in Sodom is

508
00:32:13,300 –> 00:32:17,400
the Ecclesia God.
You wouldn’t kill the righteous

509
00:32:17,400 –> 00:32:19,800
with the wicked you that be far
from Thee.

510
00:32:19,800 –> 00:32:21,800
The judge of all the Earth, you
wouldn’t do that.

511
00:32:22,400 –> 00:32:24,900
What if there were 50?
Because he thinks in his mind,

512
00:32:24,900 –> 00:32:28,100
there’s Abraham, there’s sorry,
there’s a lot and his family and

513
00:32:28,100 –> 00:32:30,800
the Ecclesia that went down.
I mean there’s so many people.

514
00:32:31,200 –> 00:32:35,700
There’s got to be fucked by 50,
I guess after all he had 318

515
00:32:35,700 –> 00:32:38,700
born in his house so that means
they had heaps more couples than

516
00:32:38,700 –> 00:32:41,400
that Abraham had possibly over a
couple of thousand.

517
00:32:41,600 –> 00:32:45,700
Lots got at least 50 and God
says, the angel says, look

518
00:32:46,000 –> 00:32:52,200
Abraham.
If I find 50 Course, I’ll save

519
00:32:52,200 –> 00:32:55,800
the city.
So, what Abraham thinking then?

520
00:33:01,400 –> 00:33:03,500
Exactly what there’s lifting 50
now.

521
00:33:03,600 –> 00:33:05,300
I’ll just put it up for you so
you can see this.

522
00:33:05,300 –> 00:33:12,500
Check this out.
He says, if I find 45 What does

523
00:33:12,500 –> 00:33:14,600
God say?
Somebody read that last line.

524
00:33:16,400 –> 00:33:20,600
I will not destroy it and then
he says, well, what if there’s

525
00:33:20,600 –> 00:33:27,000
40 and God says, I will not do
it.

526
00:33:27,300 –> 00:33:33,600
And what if there’s only 30 But
God don’t be angry at me, please

527
00:33:33,600 –> 00:33:41,000
don’t be angry. what if there’s
only 20, I will not destroy it

528
00:33:41,100 –> 00:33:44,100
and then he says, I’ll ask once
more, I’m not going to talk

529
00:33:44,100 –> 00:33:49,700
again, I’ll shut up, I promise.
What if there’s only 10 See

530
00:33:49,700 –> 00:33:52,000
that?
How many I will not to there.

531
00:33:54,000 –> 00:33:56,700
So in answer to our question, I
want somebody there answer this

532
00:33:56,700 –> 00:34:01,300
in answer to our question.
Why did Paul put five negatives

533
00:34:01,800 –> 00:34:13,800
in the Greek of Hebrews 13:5?
Yeah, he’s quoting Genesis 18.

534
00:34:14,400 –> 00:34:17,900
What an example that is.
How many by the way were there

535
00:34:17,900 –> 00:34:21,100
10 righteous in the city?
Well, what do you mean?

536
00:34:21,100 –> 00:34:25,500
How many were there?
How many?

537
00:34:30,000 –> 00:34:34,300
One, just one, mrs.
Lot didn’t want to come out the

538
00:34:34,300 –> 00:34:36,100
two daughters weren’t very
faithful.

539
00:34:36,100 –> 00:34:40,500
Or they actually provide a gave
birth to Nations who ended up

540
00:34:40,500 –> 00:34:42,500
being great persecutors of
Israel.

541
00:34:43,000 –> 00:34:46,300
The only righteous one.
The Bible says, second Peter

542
00:34:46,300 –> 00:34:49,699
chapter 2 was lat so there
wasn’t enough.

543
00:34:51,600 –> 00:34:54,800
In the city to save and Salvage
the city.

544
00:34:55,500 –> 00:34:58,000
But hold on.
God said he’s never going to

545
00:34:58,000 –> 00:35:00,000
leave us.
Well, what does that mean?

546
00:35:00,000 –> 00:35:03,200
Then, if you’re the only
righteous one left and you’re in

547
00:35:03,200 –> 00:35:07,700
a really bad situation in life,
you wish you could get out, will

548
00:35:07,700 –> 00:35:09,700
God, leave you there and destroy
you with the wicked?

549
00:35:11,400 –> 00:35:17,600
What did God do with lat?
He actually took him by the

550
00:35:17,600 –> 00:35:20,900
hand.
And his wife who didn’t deserve

551
00:35:20,900 –> 00:35:23,700
to go and his two daughters who
didn’t want to go either and he

552
00:35:23,700 –> 00:35:27,000
dragged them out of the city and
he saved them.

553
00:35:27,800 –> 00:35:30,100
Why?
Because like Paul saying, he

554
00:35:30,100 –> 00:35:35,100
will never ever leave you.
Now, the excitation and Hebrews

555
00:35:35,100 –> 00:35:37,700
of simple.
Isn’t it to all the Jews who

556
00:35:37,700 –> 00:35:41,900
have gone back to Jerusalem?
Guys, back to the law, back to

557
00:35:41,900 –> 00:35:45,400
their old way of life, as young
people straight after Bible

558
00:35:45,400 –> 00:35:48,400
school at Shippensburg, you go
back to your parties.

559
00:35:48,700 –> 00:35:51,700
Back to your friends at school
and hang out with those drug

560
00:35:51,700 –> 00:35:53,500
owes.
They’re really good friends,

561
00:35:53,500 –> 00:35:55,100
though.
You know, man they’re really,

562
00:35:55,100 –> 00:35:58,400
really good friends.
Y’all come to the party.

563
00:35:58,600 –> 00:36:02,500
They go back to that life.
God says, you’ve got to get out

564
00:36:02,500 –> 00:36:06,100
of there.
I’ll never leave you.

565
00:36:07,900 –> 00:36:11,500
But who wants to say?
I’ll choose to be like light and

566
00:36:11,500 –> 00:36:14,200
I’ll just stay here and I’ll
wait for God to come and pick me

567
00:36:14,200 –> 00:36:18,500
up and take me out.
The lesson of lots life for us

568
00:36:18,500 –> 00:36:24,100
guys is we got to stand up.
Open the door and make a go for

569
00:36:24,100 –> 00:36:27,100
it ourselves and get out of
there, God’s with us.

570
00:36:27,400 –> 00:36:31,200
But let’s not try his patients.
Let’s not presume on his mercy

571
00:36:31,200 –> 00:36:33,400
and Grace.
Let’s do something.

572
00:36:33,700 –> 00:36:38,100
Have you guys all Mark that in
you put Hebrews 13 Verse 5

573
00:36:38,100 –> 00:36:42,200
beside Genesis 18 and India,
Hebrews 13.

574
00:36:42,200 –> 00:36:45,200
Have you put Genesis 18 there
and colored in the five?

575
00:36:45,200 –> 00:36:48,800
I will knots you’ve got to mark
that in guys, it’s very, very,

576
00:36:48,800 –> 00:36:51,100
very important.
The most important thing I know

577
00:36:51,300 –> 00:36:54,900
It’s because we get we get we
get scared about tomorrow, don’t

578
00:36:54,900 –> 00:36:57,700
we?
We don’t know what’s going to be

579
00:36:57,700 –> 00:36:59,600
ahead.
Are you guys scared that?

580
00:36:59,600 –> 00:37:02,200
Maybe got to leave you.
Maybe he won’t be there with you

581
00:37:02,207 –> 00:37:04,600
to strengthen you in all your
trials of life.

582
00:37:05,300 –> 00:37:07,100
I mean, I don’t know what’s on
the tomorrow.

583
00:37:07,100 –> 00:37:11,300
I remember this story about a
young young fellow that did some

584
00:37:11,300 –> 00:37:13,400
Mission work in a quite a
primitive culture.

585
00:37:14,900 –> 00:37:17,100
No email, no access to
computers.

586
00:37:17,100 –> 00:37:21,000
And what he had to do.
He got from his girlfriend, and

587
00:37:21,000 –> 00:37:24,400
his mum letters, and they
decided, because the postal

588
00:37:24,400 –> 00:37:29,300
system was really, Very ordinary
and inept, they would number the

589
00:37:29,300 –> 00:37:33,500
letters.
And so they numbered all their

590
00:37:33,500 –> 00:37:36,100
letters and he said when he got
home he said well the first week

591
00:37:36,100 –> 00:37:41,300
I receive letters 127 in the
first week and then it was a two

592
00:37:41,300 –> 00:37:43,600
or three week break.
And after that I received letter

593
00:37:43,600 –> 00:37:49,200
22, But I knew when I read
letter 22 that everything at

594
00:37:49,200 –> 00:37:51,000
home was fine, everything was
okay.

595
00:37:51,500 –> 00:37:54,600
He said I didn’t know what was
in letter 8 through 21.

596
00:37:55,700 –> 00:37:58,100
I just knew that when I read
letter 22, everything was fine.

597
00:37:58,900 –> 00:38:03,200
That strikes me guys, young
people as the classic picture of

598
00:38:03,200 –> 00:38:05,300
our life.
You know, we’ve all received

599
00:38:05,300 –> 00:38:09,200
letters 127, haven’t we?
We know where we’ve been where

600
00:38:09,200 –> 00:38:11,900
here thus far, but who knows?
What’s in leather?

601
00:38:11,900 –> 00:38:13,800
Number eight, do you guys know
what’s in letter number?

602
00:38:13,800 –> 00:38:16,000
84 tomorrow, what’s going to
happen to you tomorrow?

603
00:38:16,500 –> 00:38:18,900
Do you know if you’re going to
fall ill, there’s going to be a

604
00:38:18,900 –> 00:38:20,200
tragedy.
Do you know if you’re going to

605
00:38:20,207 –> 00:38:22,200
flunk out of school?
You know, if you’re gonna get

606
00:38:22,200 –> 00:38:24,800
that job, what’s ahead in
letters number 8?

607
00:38:25,700 –> 00:38:28,600
Through 21.
So we don’t know that.

608
00:38:28,600 –> 00:38:31,500
That’s the future.
God promised don’t God doesn’t

609
00:38:31,500 –> 00:38:35,400
promise US in the interim.
A peaceful life with no Strife.

610
00:38:35,400 –> 00:38:38,000
It’s going to be difficult.
There’s challenges ahead of us,

611
00:38:38,300 –> 00:38:39,500
guys.
We’re in the last days.

612
00:38:39,500 –> 00:38:41,900
We’re playing a grade.
Now, we’ve got to actually step

613
00:38:41,900 –> 00:38:46,400
up, but I’ll tell you something.
It’s like a Heavenly father’s a

614
00:38:46,408 –> 00:38:51,200
postman and he’s given each of
us in his own handwriting

615
00:38:51,500 –> 00:38:53,600
letter, 22, and I’ve got mine
here.

616
00:38:53,600 –> 00:38:57,600
You want to know what mine says?
Answers, this says, Matt you’ll

617
00:38:57,600 –> 00:38:59,900
be happy to know that everything
turns out just fine.

618
00:39:01,400 –> 00:39:04,800
And so, my son made for me
letter, 22, which I keep with me

619
00:39:04,800 –> 00:39:08,400
all the time in my Bible and it
says just that Matt,

620
00:39:08,800 –> 00:39:10,900
everything’s going to turn out
just fine.

621
00:39:11,500 –> 00:39:12,700
You’re going to be in the
Kingdom.

622
00:39:13,200 –> 00:39:16,000
Your family’s going to be there.
I want the kingdom, more than

623
00:39:16,000 –> 00:39:19,900
anything else on Earth guys.
You should put one of those

624
00:39:19,900 –> 00:39:24,500
letter 22 in your Bible because
you don’t know what’s in the

625
00:39:24,500 –> 00:39:28,200
letter number eight, but God’s
already told you each one of you

626
00:39:28,200 –> 00:39:31,200
young people that he desperately
wants you to be in the The

627
00:39:31,200 –> 00:39:34,200
kingdom, and he’s doing
absolutely everything possible

628
00:39:34,300 –> 00:39:38,300
in your life at all times.
In the best way to make sure

629
00:39:38,300 –> 00:39:41,300
you’re going to be there and
he’s not going to stop until you

630
00:39:41,300 –> 00:39:44,400
are going to be there.
What are you, what?

631
00:39:44,600 –> 00:39:46,600
What are you actually doing in
your life now?

632
00:39:46,700 –> 00:39:52,200
Making preparations for think
about those things, the choices

633
00:39:52,200 –> 00:39:57,600
that you’re making letter 22.
Everything’s going to turn out,

634
00:39:57,600 –> 00:40:00,900
just fine.
And I think Abraham and lot

635
00:40:01,200 –> 00:40:04,000
would have had a well, as
particularly Abraham would have

636
00:40:04,000 –> 00:40:07,900
had a struggle just believing
that about his brother, but he

637
00:40:07,900 –> 00:40:11,400
arrested in the faith in God.
He trusted in his heavenly

638
00:40:11,400 –> 00:40:14,900
father, he always looked for an
opportunity to redeem his

639
00:40:14,900 –> 00:40:18,100
brother lat and he never ever
ceased.

640
00:40:18,400 –> 00:40:21,400
Loving him.
Now, guys are any questions?

641
00:40:27,000 –> 00:40:32,400
Are you fine?
That top Ethan who would give

642
00:40:32,400 –> 00:40:33,600
somebody a half-eaten cookie?
