00:08:23,240<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s look at Isaiah, spelled<br \/>\nslightly strangely. <\/p>\n<p>122<br \/>\n00:08:23,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:27,000<br \/>\nChapter 5 from verse 26.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to read from here <\/p>\n<p>123<br \/>\n00:08:27,000 &#8211;&gt;

00:08:37,200<br \/>\nends of the earth.<br \/>\nHere they come swiftly and <\/p>\n<p>126<br \/>\n00:08:37,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:40,280<br \/>\nspeedily.<br \/>\nNot one of them grows tired or <\/p>\n<p>127<br \/>\n00:08:40,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:43,240<br \/>\nstumbles.<br \/>\nNot one slumbers or sleeps. <\/p>\n<p>128<br \/>\n00:08:43,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:45,600<br \/>\nNot a belt is loosened at the<br \/>\nwaist. <\/p>\n<p>129<br \/>\n00:08:45,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:50,280<br \/>\nNot a sand or strap is broken.<br \/>\nTheir arrows are sharp, All <\/p>\n<p>130<br \/>\n00:08:50,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:53,560<br \/>\ntheir bows are strung.<br \/>\nTheir horses hooves seem like <\/p>\n<p>131<br \/>\n00:08:53,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:57,080<br \/>\nFlint, their chariot wheels like<br \/>\na whirlwind. <\/p>\n<p>132<br \/>\n00:08:57,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:59,880<br \/>\nTheir roar is like bet of a<br \/>\nlion. <\/p>\n<p>133<br \/>\n00:09:00,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:04,240<br \/>\nThey roar like Young Lions.<br \/>\nThey growl as they seize their <\/p>\n<p>134<br \/>\n00:09:04,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:08,160<br \/>\nprey and carry it off with no<br \/>\none to rescue. <\/p>\n<p>135<br \/>\n00:09:11,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:15,000<br \/>\nThis is some poetry,<br \/>\nessentially, by Isaiah. <\/p>\n<p>136<br \/>\n00:09:15,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:20,320<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a poem about how the Lord<br \/>\nwill use the outside nations to <\/p>\n<p>137<br \/>\n00:09:20,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:23,200<br \/>\npunish his people for their<br \/>\nwickedness. <\/p>\n<p>138<br \/>\n00:09:24,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:27,360<br \/>\nAnd, he explains, like an animal<br \/>\ntrainer, the Lord will whistle. <\/p>\n<p>139<br \/>\n00:09:28,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:32,520<br \/>\nAnd these powerful armies of the<br \/>\nnations come rushing to execute <\/p>\n<p>140<br \/>\n00:09:32,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:35,520<br \/>\ntheir judgment or His judgment<br \/>\non Israel. <\/p>\n<p>141<br \/>\n00:09:36,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:39,600<br \/>\nTheir army that comes is<br \/>\nrunning, is running. <\/p>\n<p>142<br \/>\n00:09:39,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:43,920<br \/>\nAnd they are not a sloppy army.<br \/>\nThey are a well oiled machine <\/p>\n<p>143<br \/>\n00:09:44,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:46,480<br \/>\nwith few with very few<br \/>\nweaknesses. <\/p>\n<p>144<br \/>\n00:09:47,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:51,840<br \/>\nNot a single soldier is tired or<br \/>\nstumbling or falling asleep on <\/p>\n<p>145<br \/>\n00:09:51,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:53,320<br \/>\nthe way.<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re determined. <\/p>\n<p>146<br \/>\n00:09:53,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:58,000<br \/>\nTheir belts are clenched tight.<br \/>\nMeaning their robes are secured <\/p>\n<p>147<br \/>\n00:09:58,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:05,400<br \/>\nfor running.<br \/>\nSo this bit of poetry here as I <\/p>\n<p>148<br \/>\n00:10:05,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:07,760<br \/>\ncould have passed on it a little<br \/>\nbit more efficiently. <\/p>\n<p>149<br \/>\n00:10:08,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:13,000<br \/>\nHe could have said Israel is an<br \/>\narmy coming and there&#8217;s nothing <\/p>\n<p>150<br \/>\n00:10:13,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:15,480<br \/>\nyou can do about it.<br \/>\nThe end? <\/p>\n<p>151<br \/>\n00:10:16,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:19,560<br \/>\nYou could have Bullet pointed<br \/>\nthat out really briefly and not <\/p>\n<p>152<br \/>\n00:10:19,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:24,520<br \/>\ngiven that much, but I&#8217;ve only<br \/>\nexplained a few verses there. <\/p>\n<p>153<br \/>\n00:10:24,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:27,960<br \/>\nAnd probably triple the amount<br \/>\nof words of this poem. <\/p>\n<p>154<br \/>\n00:10:27,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:31,520<br \/>\nAnd I haven&#8217;t done it justice.<br \/>\nSo the interesting thing about <\/p>\n<p>155<br \/>\n00:10:31,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:35,880<br \/>\npoems is you could probably<br \/>\nreduce them down to hits just a <\/p>\n<p>156<br \/>\n00:10:35,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:40,440<br \/>\nfew words, but also you could<br \/>\ntake 30 times the words to <\/p>\n<p>157<br \/>\n00:10:40,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:44,280<br \/>\nactually explain all of the<br \/>\nmeaning behind a poem such as <\/p>\n<p>158<br \/>\n00:10:44,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:49,400<br \/>\nthis.<br \/>\nBut either way, poetry has a way<\/p>\n<p>159<br \/>\n00:10:49,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:53,080<br \/>\nof making a slow down.<br \/>\nThis is not something we can <\/p>\n<p>160<br \/>\n00:10:53,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:58,360<br \/>\nrush over these words and we are<br \/>\nin an age where we are trying to<\/p>\n<p>161<br \/>\n00:10:58,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:02,080<br \/>\nread and digest and move on<br \/>\nquickly with information. <\/p>\n<p>162<br \/>\n00:11:02,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:05,440<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t read a poem anymore and<br \/>\ntake time. <\/p>\n<p>163<br \/>\n00:11:05,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:07,760<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s not the normal day-to-day<br \/>\nlife. <\/p>\n<p>164<br \/>\n00:11:07,760 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:10,120<br \/>\nWe are moving on quickly with<br \/>\ninformation. <\/p>\n<p>165<br \/>\n00:11:10,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:13,880<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s an example.<br \/>\nGot a message here from King <\/p>\n<p>166<br \/>\n00:11:13,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:18,600<br \/>\nDavid.<br \/>\nAs I say, surely the darkness <\/p>\n<p>167<br \/>\n00:11:18,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:21,760<br \/>\nwill hide me and the lights<br \/>\nbecome nights around me. <\/p>\n<p>168<br \/>\n00:11:22,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:25,160<br \/>\nEven the darkness will not be<br \/>\ndark to you. <\/p>\n<p>169<br \/>\n00:11:25,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:29,520<br \/>\nThe night will shine like the<br \/>\nday or darkness because there&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>170<br \/>\n00:11:29,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:34,080<br \/>\nlight to you, I might reply.<br \/>\nOK, thanks for that. <\/p>\n<p>171<br \/>\n00:11:35,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:37,800<br \/>\nAll good.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the sort of approach we <\/p>\n<p>172<br \/>\n00:11:37,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:41,000<br \/>\ntake sometimes with information<br \/>\ninclude read, including reading.<\/p>\n<p>173<br \/>\n00:11:41,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:43,760<br \/>\nThe Bible and poetry deserves<br \/>\nmore time than that. <\/p>\n<p>174<br \/>\n00:11:44,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:48,640<br \/>\nIt deserves us to really sit on<br \/>\nit and understand it and <\/p>\n<p>175<br \/>\n00:11:48,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:54,360<br \/>\nunderstand the the contrast here<br \/>\nbetween darkness and night and <\/p>\n<p>176<br \/>\n00:11:54,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:59,280<br \/>\nlight and day, and how and how<br \/>\nGod interacts with those things.<\/p>\n<p>177<br \/>\n00:11:59,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:02,920<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not something that we can<br \/>\nquickly summarize with it with a<\/p>\n<p>178<br \/>\n00:12:02,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:18,800<br \/>\nshort moment of thought.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s a proverb as well, which<\/p>\n<p>179<br \/>\n00:12:18,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:21,040<br \/>\nis Oh no, that is the proverb at<br \/>\nthe bottom. <\/p>\n<p>180<br \/>\n00:12:21,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:24,120<br \/>\nThis is a comment that I&#8217;ve read<br \/>\nonline which helps us to <\/p>\n<p>181<br \/>\n00:12:24,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:30,080<br \/>\nunderstand that this poetry<br \/>\nisn&#8217;t necessarily easy, but it <\/p>\n<p>182<br \/>\n00:12:30,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:33,080<br \/>\nis something that we need to<br \/>\ntake the time because it is the <\/p>\n<p>183<br \/>\n00:12:33,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:36,400<br \/>\nsearch that God requires, not<br \/>\nanswers. <\/p>\n<p>184<br \/>\n00:12:36,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:40,040<br \/>\nOur goals should not to be<br \/>\nconformity and opinion, but <\/p>\n<p>185<br \/>\n00:12:40,040 &#8211;&gt;

00:14:19,520<br \/>\nthrown away and Withers.<br \/>\nSuch branches are picked up, <\/p>\n<p>208<br \/>\n00:14:19,720 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:21,920<br \/>\nthrown into the fire, and<br \/>\nburned. <\/p>\n<p>209<br \/>\n00:14:22,760 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:26,680<br \/>\nIf you remain in Me, and my<br \/>\nwords remain in you, ask <\/p>\n<p>210<br \/>\n00:14:26,680 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:29,040<br \/>\nwhatever you wish, and it will<br \/>\nbe given you. <\/p>\n<p>211<br \/>\n00:14:30,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:33,960<br \/>\nThis is to my Father&#8217;s glory<br \/>\nthat you bear much fruit, <\/p>\n<p>212<br \/>\n00:14:34,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:40,320<br \/>\nshowing yourselves to be my<br \/>\ndisciples just to show that. <\/p>\n<p>213<br \/>\n00:14:49,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:51,440<br \/>\nJesus spoken poetic language<br \/>\nusing. <\/p>\n<p>214<br \/>\n00:14:51,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:54,520<br \/>\nAllegory using.<br \/>\nSimilarly, using things to <\/p>\n<p>215<br \/>\n00:14:54,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:56,800<br \/>\nexplain his message, they<br \/>\nweren&#8217;t. <\/p>\n<p>216<br \/>\n00:14:57,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:59,760<br \/>\nNecessary literal, but rather<br \/>\npoetic. <\/p>\n<p>217<br \/>\n00:15:01,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:05,000<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s also turn up Isaiah and<br \/>\nChapter 55. <\/p>\n<p>218<br \/>\n00:15:07,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:16,880<br \/>\nAnd verse 10.<br \/>\nAs the rain and the snow come <\/p>\n<p>219<br \/>\n00:15:16,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:20,480<br \/>\ndown from heaven and do not<br \/>\nreturn to it without watering <\/p>\n<p>220<br \/>\n00:15:20,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:25,280<br \/>\nthe earth and making it buds and<br \/>\nflourish, so that it yields seed<\/p>\n<p>221<br \/>\n00:15:25,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:30,480<br \/>\nfor the sower and bread for the<br \/>\neater, so is my word that goes <\/p>\n<p>222<br \/>\n00:15:30,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:34,760<br \/>\nout from my mouth.<br \/>\nIt will not return to me empty, <\/p>\n<p>223<br \/>\n00:15:35,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:38,640<br \/>\nbut will accomplish what I<br \/>\ndesire and achieve the purpose <\/p>\n<p>224<br \/>\n00:15:38,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:41,960<br \/>\nfor which I&#8217;ve sent it.<br \/>\nThis, these things aren&#8217;t. <\/p>\n<p>225<br \/>\n00:15:42,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:45,640<br \/>\nExactly literal are they?<br \/>\nThey are ways of explaining <\/p>\n<p>226<br \/>\n00:15:45,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:48,000<br \/>\nthings.<br \/>\nAnd God here is basically <\/p>\n<p>227<br \/>\n00:15:48,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:52,840<br \/>\nexplaining the purpose of poetic<br \/>\nmessages that he wants these <\/p>\n<p>228<br \/>\n00:15:52,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:55,120<br \/>\nwords to go out that they may<br \/>\nchange us. <\/p>\n<p>229<br \/>\n00:15:55,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:00,000<br \/>\nAnd I believe the way the Bible<br \/>\nis written is part of this <\/p>\n<p>230<br \/>\n00:16:00,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:03,920<br \/>\ntechnique that God uses to<br \/>\nactually help us to change, <\/p>\n<p>231<br \/>\n00:16:06,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:08,920<br \/>\nright?<br \/>\nWe thought this morning had been<\/p>\n<p>232<br \/>\n00:16:08,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:12,080<br \/>\na little interactive already.<br \/>\nWe have a challenge this morning<\/p>\n<p>233<br \/>\n00:16:12,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:16,920<br \/>\nand that is to write a poem.<br \/>\nSo many of you have not been <\/p>\n<p>234<br \/>\n00:16:16,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:23,440<br \/>\nwriting poems, so we&#8217;re going to<br \/>\ntake 5 minutes to write a poem <\/p>\n<p>235<br \/>\n00:16:23,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:26,000<br \/>\nthis morning.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re here to remember the <\/p>\n<p>236<br \/>\n00:16:26,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:31,400<br \/>\nsacrifice of our Lord through<br \/>\nbread and wine, and sometimes <\/p>\n<p>237<br \/>\n00:16:31,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:37,360<br \/>\nwords don&#8217;t come easily with.<br \/>\nWhat that means to us, the fact <\/p>\n<p>238<br \/>\n00:16:37,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:40,880<br \/>\nthat Jesus died our king, what<br \/>\nhe has done. <\/p>\n<p>239<br \/>\n00:16:41,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:45,000<br \/>\nSo the challenge is not for the<br \/>\nweaker hit, it&#8217;s for right now. <\/p>\n<p>240<br \/>\n00:16:45,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:49,720<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s to begin this journey of<br \/>\nunderstanding the poetry of the <\/p>\n<p>241<br \/>\n00:16:49,720 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:58,560<br \/>\nBible better by being a creator<br \/>\nof poetry ourselves, to learn to<\/p>\n<p>242<br \/>\n00:16:58,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:01,760<br \/>\nappreciate and find the meaning<br \/>\nin poetry. <\/p>\n<p>243<br \/>\n00:17:02,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:06,040<br \/>\nThat we might learn and<br \/>\nappreciate and find meaning in <\/p>\n<p>244<br \/>\n00:17:06,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:09,920<br \/>\nGod&#8217;s poetry.<br \/>\nSo I had a paper. <\/p>\n<p>245<br \/>\n00:17:12,079 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:14,720<br \/>\nIn fact, let&#8217;s start this now.<br \/>\nGeorge, can I get your hand <\/p>\n<p>246<br \/>\n00:17:15,079 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:17,119<br \/>\nhands with you?<br \/>\nDoes anyone need paper? <\/p>\n<p>247<br \/>\n00:17:17,839 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:19,359<br \/>\nOh, maybe we don&#8217;t need much of<br \/>\nyour hand. <\/p>\n<p>248<br \/>\n00:17:19,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:21,520<br \/>\nAnyone need paper?<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re going to need to write. <\/p>\n<p>249<br \/>\n00:17:21,599 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:25,079<br \/>\nOh, yeah, fine is fine.<br \/>\nAnyone. <\/p>\n<p>250<br \/>\n00:17:25,079 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:27,040<br \/>\nHis Hands up, George.<br \/>\nI also have pins. <\/p>\n<p>251<br \/>\n00:17:27,079 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:30,800<br \/>\nIf anyone needs pins.<br \/>\nEveryone&#8217;s looking. <\/p>\n<p>252<br \/>\n00:17:30,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:33,440<br \/>\nAll right.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll leave pins here. <\/p>\n<p>253<br \/>\n00:17:38,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:39,440<br \/>\nRight now.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t expect that you are <\/p>\n<p>254<br \/>\n00:17:39,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:41,200<br \/>\nnecessarily right in the<br \/>\nmindset. <\/p>\n<p>255<br \/>\n00:17:41,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:44,040<br \/>\nNow, despite the facts.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve read some poems already <\/p>\n<p>256<br \/>\n00:17:44,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:46,880<br \/>\nand we&#8217;ve discussed a little bit<br \/>\nabout what poems are. <\/p>\n<p>257<br \/>\n00:17:47,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:49,400<br \/>\nI want to help you get there a<br \/>\nlittle bit more. <\/p>\n<p>258<br \/>\n00:17:49,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:52,320<br \/>\nSo as George is handing out any<br \/>\npaper for those that need it, <\/p>\n<p>259<br \/>\n00:17:52,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:55,280<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re going to have a little bit<br \/>\nof inspiration. <\/p>\n<p>260<br \/>\n00:17:56,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:00,240<br \/>\nTo get us going to write poetry.<br \/>\nAgain, keep in mind that this <\/p>\n<p>261<br \/>\n00:18:00,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:04,240<br \/>\nhelps us to draw closer to the<br \/>\nword of God, This exercise, and <\/p>\n<p>262<br \/>\n00:18:04,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:09,080<br \/>\nagain reminding you that what we<br \/>\nvery loosely maybe want to base <\/p>\n<p>263<br \/>\n00:18:09,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:14,320<br \/>\nour poem on is is the sacrifice<br \/>\nor the redemption or the meaning<\/p>\n<p>264<br \/>\n00:18:14,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:17,360<br \/>\nof Jesus and his death and his<br \/>\nlife. <\/p>\n<p>265<br \/>\n00:18:17,720 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:20,360<br \/>\nWhatever you like.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t want to box you into too<\/p>\n<p>266<br \/>\n00:18:20,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:24,480<br \/>\nmuch, but let&#8217;s quickly discuss<br \/>\na few things that might help <\/p>\n<p>267<br \/>\n00:18:24,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:27,960<br \/>\nyou.<br \/>\nTo get going with a poem, by the<\/p>\n<p>268<br \/>\n00:18:27,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:31,040<br \/>\nway, before we start this as<br \/>\nwell, I&#8217;m not No one&#8217;s getting <\/p>\n<p>269<br \/>\n00:18:31,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:35,120<br \/>\nup to read a poem.<br \/>\nNo one&#8217;s needing to express <\/p>\n<p>270<br \/>\n00:18:35,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:36,960<br \/>\nthemselves.<br \/>\nThis is just for you. <\/p>\n<p>271<br \/>\n00:18:38,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:43,360<br \/>\nAnd if you get 2 lines on paper,<br \/>\nthen that&#8217;s great, That&#8217;s there <\/p>\n<p>272<br \/>\n00:18:43,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:49,240<br \/>\nis no right or wrong, no fail or<br \/>\npass in this in this <\/p>\n<p>273<br \/>\n00:18:50,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:53,480<br \/>\ninteraction, all right?<br \/>\nOne way that we might start a <\/p>\n<p>274<br \/>\n00:18:53,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:58,080<br \/>\npoem is to think on a word.<br \/>\nSo here we have one word or one <\/p>\n<p>275<br \/>\n00:18:58,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:02,360<br \/>\nphrases of Psalm 2 words.<br \/>\nSo every now and then there. <\/p>\n<p>276<br \/>\n00:19:02,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:05,640<br \/>\nBut there are some words there<br \/>\non the left hand side that might<\/p>\n<p>277<br \/>\n00:19:05,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:10,560<br \/>\ninspire us that we can just sit<br \/>\nwith one of those words and hits<\/p>\n<p>278<br \/>\n00:19:10,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:18,160<br \/>\nstart to explain something about<br \/>\nJesus and his sacrifice that he <\/p>\n<p>279<br \/>\n00:19:18,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:23,240<br \/>\nhas made for us.<br \/>\nWe might want to start with a <\/p>\n<p>280<br \/>\n00:19:23,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:28,920<br \/>\nquestion like we talked about<br \/>\nsomething before, something that<\/p>\n<p>281<br \/>\n00:19:29,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:32,640<br \/>\nis makes us a bit speechless.<br \/>\nMaybe that&#8217;s really hard to <\/p>\n<p>282<br \/>\n00:19:32,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:34,480<br \/>\nanswer.<br \/>\nMaybe it&#8217;s a question that&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>283<br \/>\n00:19:34,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:37,800<br \/>\nasked very often and has a few<br \/>\nanswers. <\/p>\n<p>284<br \/>\n00:19:38,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:42,440<br \/>\nMaybe it&#8217;s a question something<br \/>\nlike what was it like? <\/p>\n<p>285<br \/>\n00:19:45,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:48,320<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t forget there are some<br \/>\npoetry tools, and by tools I <\/p>\n<p>286<br \/>\n00:19:48,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:53,920<br \/>\nmean kind of grammatical.<br \/>\nWays of using words, these <\/p>\n<p>287<br \/>\n00:19:53,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:57,600<br \/>\nmetaphors where we might compare<br \/>\nthe feeling of something to <\/p>\n<p>288<br \/>\n00:19:57,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:00,960<br \/>\nsomething else, or seeing<br \/>\nsomething as like seeing <\/p>\n<p>289<br \/>\n00:20:00,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:04,120<br \/>\nsomething else.<br \/>\nThink of all of your senses when<\/p>\n<p>290<br \/>\n00:20:04,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:07,320<br \/>\nyou when you think of metaphors,<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s repetition. <\/p>\n<p>291<br \/>\n00:20:08,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:10,920<br \/>\nFeel free.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s a that&#8217;s a nice easy way <\/p>\n<p>292<br \/>\n00:20:10,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:14,040<br \/>\nto get started.<br \/>\nThink of 1 phrase and see if you<\/p>\n<p>293<br \/>\n00:20:14,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:16,640<br \/>\ncan repeat that.<br \/>\nIf we stick in line, we know <\/p>\n<p>294<br \/>\n00:20:16,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:18,560<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s some Psalms written like<br \/>\nthat. <\/p>\n<p>295<br \/>\n00:20:19,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:24,360<br \/>\nIt might be simply as great as<br \/>\nour God and then align and then <\/p>\n<p>296<br \/>\n00:20:24,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:27,320<br \/>\ngreat as our God, something that<br \/>\nmight have some repetition that <\/p>\n<p>297<br \/>\n00:20:27,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:31,120<br \/>\nis very much poetry.<br \/>\nYou might feel like you want <\/p>\n<p>298<br \/>\n00:20:31,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:35,840<br \/>\nsome structure and one classic<br \/>\none is going good, bad, good. <\/p>\n<p>299<br \/>\n00:20:36,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:40,360<br \/>\nIn terms of a poem, you start<br \/>\nwith a great moment and it <\/p>\n<p>300<br \/>\n00:20:40,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:43,640<br \/>\ndescends, but then there is some<br \/>\nsort of redemption or some sort <\/p>\n<p>301<br \/>\n00:20:43,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:50,880<br \/>\nof good thing at the end.<br \/>\nAnd then finally, reading poems <\/p>\n<p>302<br \/>\n00:20:50,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:55,600<br \/>\nis another great way to get us<br \/>\nto be inspired, help us to <\/p>\n<p>303<br \/>\n00:20:55,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:59,440<br \/>\nappreciate the the use of words<br \/>\nin a certain way. <\/p>\n<p>304<br \/>\n00:20:59,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:04,960<br \/>\nSo there are some examples there<br \/>\nof some poems, some poetry, <\/p>\n<p>305<br \/>\n00:21:04,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:08,680<br \/>\nlanguage from God&#8217;s words that<br \/>\nwe can use. <\/p>\n<p>306<br \/>\n00:21:09,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:15,520<br \/>\nSo it&#8217;s 22 and I&#8217;m going to do<br \/>\nit by my phone. <\/p>\n<p>307<br \/>\n00:21:15,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:17,680<br \/>\nOK, cool.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to give you about four<\/p>\n<p>308<br \/>\n00:21:17,680 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:19,240<br \/>\nminutes.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to play a little bit <\/p>\n<p>309<br \/>\n00:21:19,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:22,800<br \/>\nof instrumental hymns just while<br \/>\nyou do that. <\/p>\n<p>310<br \/>\n00:21:22,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:27,400<br \/>\nSo I&#8217;ll leave you to it.<br \/>\nAll right. <\/p>\n<p>311<br \/>\n00:21:28,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:34,760<br \/>\nI&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve got a full page<br \/>\nof well formed poetry, but no, <\/p>\n<p>312<br \/>\n00:21:34,760 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:37,240<br \/>\nit can.<br \/>\nSometimes it can flow, sometimes<\/p>\n<p>313<br \/>\n00:21:37,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:42,600<br \/>\nit can&#8217;t, and sometimes you just<br \/>\nneed to start writing to get <\/p>\n<p>314<br \/>\n00:21:42,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:45,360<br \/>\nsomething out before other<br \/>\nthings start to flow. <\/p>\n<p>315<br \/>\n00:21:46,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:53,800<br \/>\nTo conclude, it&#8217;s worth<br \/>\nreflecting that God is so wildly<\/p>\n<p>316<br \/>\n00:21:53,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:00,920<br \/>\ncreative himself from creation<br \/>\nitself in the detail of His work<\/p>\n<p>317<br \/>\n00:22:00,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:04,400<br \/>\nover thousands of generations,<br \/>\nincluding today. <\/p>\n<p>318<br \/>\n00:22:04,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:08,640<br \/>\nThe ways that he has called<br \/>\npeople, the way that he still <\/p>\n<p>319<br \/>\n00:22:08,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:12,600<br \/>\ncalls them, the way that his<br \/>\nplan is weaved into history. <\/p>\n<p>320<br \/>\n00:22:13,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:18,720<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s so much to the story<br \/>\nthat God has added. <\/p>\n<p>321<br \/>\n00:22:20,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:23,520<br \/>\nAnd then we have Jesus with his<br \/>\nparables. <\/p>\n<p>322<br \/>\n00:22:23,680 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:26,120<br \/>\nWhat amazing stories of<br \/>\ncreation. <\/p>\n<p>323<br \/>\n00:22:26,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:28,280<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s creative ways of healing<br \/>\npeople. <\/p>\n<p>324<br \/>\n00:22:28,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:34,200<br \/>\nThere was barely 2 healings, the<br \/>\nsame of calling people His use <\/p>\n<p>325<br \/>\n00:22:34,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:39,000<br \/>\nof language that could confound<br \/>\nsome and then could reveal so <\/p>\n<p>326<br \/>\n00:22:39,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:43,880<br \/>\nmuch to others.<br \/>\nAnd doing this poetry exercise, <\/p>\n<p>327<br \/>\n00:22:43,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:48,280<br \/>\nwe can have the opportunity to<br \/>\nbe closer to God and to Jesus by<\/p>\n<p>328<br \/>\n00:22:48,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:53,040<br \/>\nbecoming more creative, being a<br \/>\ncreator ourselves in some way, <\/p>\n<p>329<br \/>\n00:22:53,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:58,560<br \/>\nhaving a common interest like<br \/>\nfootball, and exploring things <\/p>\n<p>330<br \/>\n00:22:58,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:05,200<br \/>\nlike poetry.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s conclude, then, with the <\/p>\n<p>331<br \/>\n00:23:05,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:08,600<br \/>\nlast bit of poetry I want to<br \/>\nshare from God&#8217;s word. <\/p>\n<p>332<br \/>\n00:23:10,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:15,360<br \/>\nBut we have this treasure in<br \/>\njars of play to show that it&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>333<br \/>\n00:23:15,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:19,360<br \/>\nalso passing power.<br \/>\nThis from God and not from us. <\/p>\n<p>334<br \/>\n00:23:20,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:25,160<br \/>\nWe are hard pressed on every<br \/>\nside, but not crushed, afflicted<\/p>\n<p>335<br \/>\n00:23:25,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:31,320<br \/>\nbut not in despair, persecuted<br \/>\nbut not abandoned, strapped down<\/p>\n<p>336<br \/>\n00:23:31,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:36,120<br \/>\nbut not destroyed.<br \/>\nWe always carry around now in <\/p>\n<p>337<br \/>\n00:23:36,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:41,240<br \/>\nour body the death of Jesus, so<br \/>\nthat the life of Jesus may also <\/p>\n<p>338<br \/>\n00:23:41,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:47,120<br \/>\nbe revealed in our body.<br \/>\nFor we who are alive are always <\/p>\n<p>339<br \/>\n00:23:47,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:51,880<br \/>\nbeing given over to death for<br \/>\nJesus&#8217;s sake, so that his life <\/p>\n<p>340<br \/>\n00:23:51,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:55,120<br \/>\nmay also be revealed in our<br \/>\nmortal body. <\/p>\n<p>341<br \/>\n00:23:55,920 &#8211;&gt;
