\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
\nintro before.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7

\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:51,500 –> 00:00:54,100
\nWelcome to the good Chris at
\nAlfea and talks podcast. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:54,600 –> 00:00:57,600
\nThis is brother Brian.
\nAnd before we get into the Talk <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:57,600 –> 00:01:01,400
\nitself, I just want to remind
\nour listeners of our addition to<\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:01,400 –> 00:01:06,200
\nthe platform in that by request.
\nWe now will be posting each <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:06,200 –> 00:01:11,300
\nweek’s talk on our YouTube
\nchannel, the day after it posts.<\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:11,500 –> 00:01:15,300
\nSo each Monday morning on our
\nYouTube channel, this talk will <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:15,300 –> 00:01:18,000
\npost.
\nThis is just meant to be another<\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:21,400
\naccessible option for anyone
\nthat’s looking to get the Bible <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:21,600 –> 00:01:25,600
\nin their daily news feed and
\nwithout the need for any <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:25,600 –> 00:01:31,500
\npodcast, specific apps So this
\nweek’s talk is an expectation by<\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:31,500 –> 00:01:35,400
\nBrother, Jamie Scott which was
\ngiven at the Cumberland Ecclesia<\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:35,400 –> 00:01:38,100
\nin South Australia from this
\npast. <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:38,100 –> 00:01:44,900
\nAugust in 2020, it comes from a
\nrecommendation we received and <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:44,900 –> 00:01:49,500
\nthe accompanying letter was so
\nincredibly hard felt and it <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:49,500 –> 00:01:52,400
\nbrought this talk to life before
\nI even open the link. <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:53,200 –> 00:01:59,400
\nSo to The Listener who sent this
\nin, Thank you for making the <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:59,400 –> 00:02:04,600
\ntime to choose the words that
\nyou did as it was just such an <\/p>\n

26
\n00:02:04,600 –> 00:02:07,200
\nencouragement for me, just to
\nread it. <\/p>\n

27
\n00:02:10,400 –> 00:02:15,000
\nSo we have a bit of parallel
\nthemes from the past few weeks <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:15,000 –> 00:02:18,200
\non g, c t.
\nSo just like last week’s talk <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:18,500 –> 00:02:22,800
\nthis excitation as well.
\nEvidently was steeped in some <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:23,100 –> 00:02:28,300
\nEcclesia specific issues.
\nThen yet we’re reminded that. <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:28,500 –> 00:02:32,400
\nThese could be words for any
\nEcclesia to hear and to soak in.<\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:33,300 –> 00:02:36,200
\nSo there are a few points made
\nin the first few minutes that <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:36,200 –> 00:02:39,400
\nmake it seem a bit like, hmm,
\nwhere’s this going? <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:41,000 –> 00:02:45,500
\nBut I sure you by the end, the
\nbrother makes an ending remark <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:45,500 –> 00:02:49,400
\nthat will give you Goosebumps
\nand relight your fire for this <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:49,400 –> 00:02:54,100
\nweek.
\nAnother interesting parallel by <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:54,100 –> 00:02:57,600
\ncoincidence is that a few weeks
\nago we heard from Brother David <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:57,600 –> 00:03:03,800
\nHill on the beautiful breakdown
\nof our weekly Memorial mindset <\/p>\n

39
\n00:03:04,000 –> 00:03:06,200
\nwhen we read through 1st
\nCorinthians 11. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:03:06,600 –> 00:03:09,300
\nAnd, you know, I meant to
\nconsider the company that we <\/p>\n

41
\n00:03:09,300 –> 00:03:13,200
\nshare well for this.
\nExcitation, the focus chapters <\/p>\n

42
\n00:03:13,200 –> 00:03:16,200
\nare also on First Corinthians
\nspread out a little bit more <\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:16,200 –> 00:03:19,700
\nfrom First Corinthians, 10 to 13
\nand brother. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:19,700 –> 00:03:23,900
\nJamie focuses on.
\nAnd why these four chapters need<\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:23,900 –> 00:03:30,000
\nto be read and lived together as
\nan Ecclesia rather than <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:30,000 –> 00:03:34,900
\nsegmented and highlighted for
\ntheir specific thematic content.<\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:37,400 –> 00:03:40,400
\nSo we hope this strengthens your
\nfaith and brightens your day <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:41,200 –> 00:03:43,500
\nbrother.
\nJamie Scott, the Ecclesia of <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:43,500 –> 00:03:48,000
\nGod.
\nGood morning, brothers and <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:48,000 –> 00:03:50,800
\nsisters and what a beautiful
\nbunch of people. <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:50,800 –> 00:03:53,600
\nYou asked to look out on this
\nmorning, you know, brothers and <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:53,600 –> 00:03:56,700
\nsisters this morning.
\nWe’ve got a full Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:57,400 –> 00:04:00,200
\nThe event was sold out.
\nI think, brother, Phil sent the <\/p>\n

54
\n00:04:00,300 –> 00:04:03,500
\nlittle message around last
\nnight, which means that we’ve <\/p>\n

55
\n00:04:03,500 –> 00:04:05,300
\ngot enough.
\nWell, people in our Ecclesia <\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:05,300 –> 00:04:08,800
\nwithout sniffles and sneezes and
\nsore throats this morning that <\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:08,800 –> 00:04:13,200
\nwe can have 133 people here.
\nAnd and the other funny thing <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:13,200 –> 00:04:15,400
\nis, you come to the occasion.
\nThere’s so many things at the <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:15,400 –> 00:04:18,200
\nmoment is look at on and and
\namuse me. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:18,399 –> 00:04:21,500
\nAll right, maybe it’s just my
\nchildish mine but I’ll see you <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:21,507 –> 00:04:23,400
\nUncle Barney out there looking
\nlike, he’s working at the <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:23,400 –> 00:04:26,500
\nairport with his Hive is on and
\nI expect him to see a pair of <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:27,400 –> 00:04:29,800
\nping pong bats.
\nGuiding you to the chair like <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:29,800 –> 00:04:32,700
\nthis as he’s bringing the plane
\nuntil the end and you’ve got, it<\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:32,700 –> 00:04:36,700
\nwon’t stop there and sit down
\nand and I’ll see brother Ian <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:36,700 –> 00:04:40,600
\nwalk in And out in the back hall
\nthere and he’s doing this with <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:40,600 –> 00:04:44,100
\nhis hands and hmm, alcohol with
\nthe scent of grape and <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:44,100 –> 00:04:46,300
\neverything is alcohol with a
\nscent of something else. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:46,300 –> 00:04:48,300
\nNow isn’t it?
\nAnd brother Mack wigs. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:48,300 –> 00:04:51,300
\nOf course, the Lord of doors
\nlie, he comes in late, <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:51,300 –> 00:04:54,600
\nfashionably late every time, you
\nknow, he rocks up 10 minutes on <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:54,600 –> 00:04:58,600
\ntime late to every meeting.
\nHe goes to he’s perfectly on <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:58,600 –> 00:05:01,700
\ntime 10 minutes late.
\nIt could be 10 minutes early. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:01,700 –> 00:05:05,100
\nBut that’s what he chooses to do
\nand there’s all sorts of funny <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:05,100 –> 00:05:07,100
\nthings, aren’t there?
\nThat just are amusing. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:07,100 –> 00:05:10,800
\nWhen you look out on the
\nEcclesia as we come together and<\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:10,800 –> 00:05:13,400
\nthe other one is this morning.
\nAll four of us doing things on <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:13,400 –> 00:05:17,700
\nele, Brother, Ali, and and Uncle
\nMac there and myself. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:17,700 –> 00:05:20,200
\nWe’re all feelings this morning.
\nThat’s not according to the <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:20,200 –> 00:05:21,900
\nschedule.
\nJust Chuck it all away. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:21,900 –> 00:05:25,600
\nAnd here we are all feeling in
\ndoing things to exhort, and <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:25,600 –> 00:05:27,500
\nencourage our brothers and
\nsisters this morning. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:27,500 –> 00:05:30,100
\nAnd always seems a little bit
\nsobering, a little bit somber on<\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:30,100 –> 00:05:33,300
\na Sunday morning, isn’t it?
\nBut if you have an immature mind<\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:33,300 –> 00:05:36,000
\nlike mine, you start to get the
\ngiggles. <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:36,000 –> 00:05:38,200
\nAnd of course when you giving
\nthe exhaust that’s no good is Is<\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:38,200 –> 00:05:42,600
\nit but of course when I when I
\ngot asked to fill in this <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:42,600 –> 00:05:46,300
\nmorning, I open up the daily
\nreadings and and really brothers<\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:46,300 –> 00:05:48,700
\nand sisters.
\nI’ve hit the exaltation Lottery.<\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:48,700 –> 00:05:51,500
\nJackpot this morning, have an
\neye with first acquaintance 11, <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:51,500 –> 00:05:57,000
\n12 and 13 are the readings for
\nthis weekend. 11 yesterday, 12 <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:57,000 –> 00:06:00,400
\nand 13 for today.
\nAnd how could I, how could I <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:00,400 –> 00:06:03,300
\nspeak on Elijah?
\nOr how could I do a talk on <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:03,300 –> 00:06:04,700
\nJeremiah.
\nWhen I’ve got first 2 <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:04,700 –> 00:06:07,700
\nCorinthians to look at this
\nmorning? <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:08,700 –> 00:06:11,800
\nAnd we’re very, very familiar
\nwith these chapters, aren’t we? <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:11,800 –> 00:06:15,900
\nAnd we’re very familiar and
\nwe’re very good at taking each <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:15,900 –> 00:06:19,900
\nof the themes in these chapters
\nand extracting them from the <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:19,900 –> 00:06:24,000
\ncontext of Corinthians and
\nexpanding amount. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:24,100 –> 00:06:27,900
\nAnd looking at the meanings and
\ngiving exultation Zahn, parts of<\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:27,900 –> 00:06:31,600
\nthese chapters.
\nAnd we’re at home with that. <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:31,700 –> 00:06:34,100
\nAnd we could probably tell you
\nwhat, all of these chapters are <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:34,100 –> 00:06:38,000
\nabout individually.
\nAnd yet, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:38,000 –> 00:06:42,700
\nPaul didn’t write the letter of
\nCorinthians like that, he wrote <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:42,700 –> 00:06:47,400
\nit as a continuous thought,
\nprocess from start to end and <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:47,400 –> 00:06:50,600
\nwhat I realized something that I
\nnever appreciated before. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:50,600 –> 00:06:54,200
\nWhen I started to look at these
\nchapters all together, is that <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:54,200 –> 00:06:57,000
\nwhen you take each of those
\ntopics that we know so much <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:57,000 –> 00:07:02,200
\nabout and you put them back into
\nthe Text of Corinthians, the <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:02,200 –> 00:07:07,100
\nexultation here, this morning is
\nis a Oneness of Mind in the <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:07,100 –> 00:07:09,000
\nEcclesia.
\nThat’s the thought that he’s <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:09,000 –> 00:07:14,900
\ntrying to to get the brothers
\nand sisters in Corinth to think <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:14,900 –> 00:07:18,300
\nabout its Oneness of mine.
\nThat’s what he’s doing through <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:18,300 –> 00:07:20,900
\nthe, through the whole of the
\nbook of Corinthians. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:21,300 –> 00:07:24,800
\nAnd really, when we want to
\nstart to look at this section <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:24,800 –> 00:07:27,000
\nhere in Corinthians, 11 12 and
\n13. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:27,200 –> 00:07:30,500
\nIt starts back in chapter 10,
\ndoesn’t it because inverse 17 of<\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:30,500 –> 00:07:34,500
\nchapter 10.
\nHe he talk in the middle of <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:34,500 –> 00:07:36,500
\ntalking about a section on
\nFellowship. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:36,500 –> 00:07:41,500
\nHe says for we being many are
\none bread and one body for we <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:41,500 –> 00:07:47,100
\nare all partakers of that one
\nbread and then after making that<\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:47,100 –> 00:07:52,500
\nstatement, he goes on to Prime
\nup his readers with a couple of <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:52,700 –> 00:07:57,400
\nvery searching statements and
\nquestions for what is coming, in<\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:57,400 –> 00:08:00,900
\nthe following chapters.
\nAnd in particular these <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:00,900 –> 00:08:04,800
\nstatements in these questions
\nare referring to the, the issue <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:04,800 –> 00:08:08,200
\nof eating meat, offered to
\nIdols. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:08,700 –> 00:08:12,300
\nBut in reality, these same
\nquestions and statements are the<\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:12,300 –> 00:08:15,400
\nvery Foundation the basis of our
\necclesial life, aren’t they? <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:15,900 –> 00:08:21,300
\nSo he says stuff, like in verse,
\n23, and 24, all things are <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:21,300 –> 00:08:24,000
\nlawful for me, but all things
\nare not expedient. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:24,000 –> 00:08:26,600
\nAll things are lawful for me but
\nall things edify. <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:26,600 –> 00:08:31,300
\nNot let no man seek his own. but
\nevery man another’s, wealth and <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:31,300 –> 00:08:35,299
\nwhat he’s really saying here is
\nthat, you know, I have the right<\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:35,299 –> 00:08:39,700
\nto do anything I want But that’s
\nnot always helpful in an <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:39,700 –> 00:08:42,500
\nocclusal context.
\nI’ve got the right to do <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:42,500 –> 00:08:45,200
\nwhatever I want, but that
\ndoesn’t always build up my <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:45,200 –> 00:08:48,400
\nEcclesia.
\nSo rather I seek to build up my <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:48,400 –> 00:08:52,100
\nbrothers and sisters rather to
\nbuild than to build up myself. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:52,100 –> 00:08:54,800
\nAnd that’s what he says in that,
\nthose two verses there, isn’t <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:54,800 –> 00:08:56,900
\nhe?
\nBut then he comes over to verse <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:56,900 –> 00:08:59,400
\n29 and he asks a very relevant
\nquestion. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:00,300 –> 00:09:02,900
\nHe says, at the end of twenty
\nnine will, why is my Liberty <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:02,900 –> 00:09:05,400
\njudged of another man’s
\nconscience? <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:05,900 –> 00:09:07,600
\nWhy?
\nIndeed, it’s an excellent. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:07,700 –> 00:09:10,000
\nQuestion isn’t it?
\nWhy should I give up? <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:10,000 –> 00:09:14,400
\nWhat is my right?
\nWhat I can have for another <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:14,400 –> 00:09:18,100
\nperson’s sake?
\nAnd he goes on to say, in verse <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:18,100 –> 00:09:24,300
\n33, here is the reason even as I
\nplease all men in all things not<\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:24,300 –> 00:09:28,800
\nseeking my own profit, but the
\nprofit of many that they may be <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:28,800 –> 00:09:31,500
\nsaved and that is the reason
\nisn’t brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:31,500 –> 00:09:35,000
\nThat last word there that my
\nbrothers and sisters, I would <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:35,000 –> 00:09:39,500
\ngive up what is my right?
\nThat my brothers and sisters <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:39,500 –> 00:09:43,100
\nmight be saved and it’s
\nshort-term pain. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:43,100 –> 00:09:47,800
\nIsn’t it for long-term gain in
\nthe future and what he does here<\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:47,800 –> 00:09:50,200
\nin this chapter, is he points
\nout and he highlights the <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:50,200 –> 00:09:53,800
\nanomaly of ecclesial life in
\nChrist because we do have <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:53,800 –> 00:09:57,400
\nLiberty in Christ and there are
\nmany many things in a collegial <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:57,400 –> 00:10:01,600
\nlife that a perfectly lawful and
\nperfectly OK at is as a citizen <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:01,600 –> 00:10:04,800
\nof kingdom and as a citizen of
\nAustralian or whatever country, <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:04,800 –> 00:10:08,800
\nwe happen to be in that a
\nperfectly lawful and Acceptable <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:09,000 –> 00:10:13,200
\nfor us to do.
\nAnd the truth is logical and the<\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:13,200 –> 00:10:16,600
\ntruth from the gospel is
\nstraightforward and the <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:16,600 –> 00:10:20,000
\nprinciples we use to govern our
\nlives that they’re simple and <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:20,000 –> 00:10:22,200
\nthey’re sound, they’re not
\ncomplicated, are they brothers <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:22,200 –> 00:10:27,100
\nand sisters and yet in a clear
\nvisual life for the sake of our <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:27,100 –> 00:10:31,200
\nsalvation of our brothers and
\nsisters, we would be willing to <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:31,200 –> 00:10:34,000
\ntake that Liberty.
\nWe would be willing to take all <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:34,000 –> 00:10:37,600
\nof that logic and all of that
\nfreedom in Christ and throw it <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:37,608 –> 00:10:39,400
\naway.
\nWouldn’t we just throw it out <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:39,400 –> 00:10:41,100
\nthe window to do something
\nillogical? <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:41,200 –> 00:10:43,900
\nCool for the sake of our
\nbrothers and sisters, we would <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:43,900 –> 00:10:45,900
\nbe willing to do something
\nirrational. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:46,400 –> 00:10:52,000
\nNow, that doesn’t make sense.
\nThat curbs, our freedom or <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:52,000 –> 00:10:57,000
\ncurbs, our Liberty.
\nSo that others in the Ecclesia <\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:57,100 –> 00:11:01,800
\nwould feel nurtured and and safe
\nand cherished. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:02,700 –> 00:11:05,800
\nBecause the reality is that the
\nlongest time that that difficult<\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:05,800 –> 00:11:10,000
\nis going to extend for all that
\ncurbing is 70 years, maybe a <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:10,008 –> 00:11:13,000
\nlittle bit more.
\nFor the sake of having our <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:13,000 –> 00:11:15,400
\nbrothers and sisters beside us
\nforever. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:16,300 –> 00:11:21,500
\nAnd that brothers and sisters is
\nalso logic, not logic, is in the<\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:21,500 –> 00:11:24,700
\nway that we would logic.
\nBut logic to the mind of Christ <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:24,800 –> 00:11:28,300
\nlogic to one who accepts the
\nmind of Christ, to take that <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:28,300 –> 00:11:32,700
\nLiberty and throw it away.
\nAnd that awareness of our <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:32,700 –> 00:11:36,700
\nbrothers and sisters and their
\nneeds becomes the theme. <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:36,700 –> 00:11:40,400
\nAnd not the only theme, but it
\nbecomes a theme for the next <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:40,400 –> 00:11:44,700
\nthree chapters.
\nAnd with that he then segues <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:44,800 –> 00:11:48,900
\ninto 1st Corinthians chapter 11
\nthat we know so well. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:54,800 –> 00:11:58,400
\nSo brothers and sisters, he
\nstarts off in verse 2. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:58,800 –> 00:12:02,700
\nNow I Praise You Brethren that
\nyou remember me in all things <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:02,700 –> 00:12:06,600
\nand keep the ordinances as I
\ndelivered them to you. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:06,600 –> 00:12:10,700
\nSo he see starts off by praising
\nthem for keeping the ordinances <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:11,100 –> 00:12:15,100
\nthat Christ delivered to him and
\nthat he delivered to them, but <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:15,100 –> 00:12:18,300
\nhe wants to give them some more
\ninformation behind one of those <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:18,300 –> 00:12:21,900
\nordinances in particular at this
\npoint in the chapter and that’s <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:21,900 –> 00:12:24,800
\nthe chapter relating.
\nThat’s It. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:24,800 –> 00:12:28,400
\nThat’s the theme of head.
\nCoverings in an occlusal setting<\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:29,000 –> 00:12:34,300
\nand it does this by painting
\nocclusal Life as a spiritual <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:34,300 –> 00:12:37,600
\nParable.
\nAnd in verse 4, he says every <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:37,600 –> 00:12:40,400
\nman praying or prophesying
\nhaving his head, covered <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:40,400 –> 00:12:45,000
\ndishonoureth his head and in
\nverse 7 for a man indeed ought, <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:45,000 –> 00:12:51,500
\nnot to cover his head forasmuch
\nas he is the image and the glory<\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:51,500 –> 00:12:54,400
\nof God.
\nBut the woman is the glory of <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:54,400 –> 00:12:57,200
\nthe the man.
\nAnd so a brother in an occlusal <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:57,200 –> 00:13:00,400
\nsetting, he comes to the
\nEcclesia with his head uncovered<\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:00,400 –> 00:13:02,900
\nbecause he is the image and
\nglory of God. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:03,300 –> 00:13:06,600
\nAnd in the parable of a closure
\nlife, when we meet together, he <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:06,600 –> 00:13:09,700
\nsimply represents the Lord Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:11,900 –> 00:13:15,500
\nThis is the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nWho loved the Ecclesia? <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:16,300 –> 00:13:20,300
\nAnd who gave himself for.
\nHe literally died because of the<\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:20,300 –> 00:13:24,200
\nlove he had for the Ecclesia.
\nAnd it’s a sobering thought for <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:24,200 –> 00:13:27,700
\nbrothers, when they come to the
\nmeeting with that, thought in <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:27,700 –> 00:13:32,500
\nmind, what are we prepared to
\ngive that the Ecclesia of God <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:32,500 –> 00:13:35,800
\nmight live?
\nWhat are we prepared to give for<\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:35,800 –> 00:13:38,600
\nour brothers and sisters here
\nthat meet here today? <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:40,000 –> 00:13:42,500
\nWould we die if that was what
\nwas necessary for our brothers <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:42,500 –> 00:13:47,000
\nand sisters to live?
\nIt’s an interesting thought, <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:47,000 –> 00:13:48,300
\nisn’t it?
\nBrothers and sisters and I’ve <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:48,300 –> 00:13:51,700
\noften wondered how that would
\nwork out in our occlusal setting<\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:52,100 –> 00:13:55,800
\nand maybe it’s a little bit hard
\nto imagine what it would take <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:56,300 –> 00:13:58,800
\nfor a brother to have to give up
\nhis life for his brothers and <\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:58,800 –> 00:14:01,100
\nsisters.
\nWould it be in another country <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:01,100 –> 00:14:04,900
\nthat we were meeting in that the
\nArmy burst through the door? <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:06,100 –> 00:14:09,600
\nAnd decided to take us or decide
\nto start killing at random. <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:10,400 –> 00:14:13,200
\nWith our brothers here, be
\nwilling to give up their life <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:13,900 –> 00:14:17,100
\nfor our sisters, or brothers and
\nsisters in this Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:17,700 –> 00:14:20,900
\nIt’s a very sobering thought,
\nand our, and our answer to that <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:20,900 –> 00:14:23,700
\nmight be an indication of our
\nBrethren’s investment in this <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:23,700 –> 00:14:26,100
\nEcclesia here or in the
\ninclusion of God in the family <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:26,100 –> 00:14:29,000
\nof God, but it’s a pretty
\nsobering thought isn’t it? <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:29,000 –> 00:14:33,000
\nWould you do that Brothers?
\nAnd of course a sister in a <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:33,000 –> 00:14:36,500
\nclassroom setting she covers her
\nhair that natural beauty that <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:36,600 –> 00:14:39,900
\nthat our God has given her
\nbecause she is the glory of the <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:39,900 –> 00:14:42,200
\nman and in the parable of a
\ncollegial life. <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:42,200 –> 00:14:45,800
\nWhen we meet together, she
\nrepresents this Ecclesia here. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:46,200 –> 00:14:49,600
\nThat Cumberland, not not the
\nequator here at Cumberland in <\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:49,600 –> 00:14:52,000
\ntotal, but that’s what our
\nsisters here, represent. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:52,200 –> 00:14:54,800
\nBut the Ecclesia of God
\nworldwide really is what they <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:54,800 –> 00:14:57,700
\nrepresent.
\nAnd to give us a background to <\/p>\n

239
\n00:14:57,700 –> 00:15:00,600
\nthis parable of a cliche life.
\nPaul takes us back to Genesis <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:00,600 –> 00:15:04,500
\nto, he takes us back to the
\ncreation of Adam and Eve and <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:04,500 –> 00:15:09,600
\nthey’re in the garden, Our
\nFather performed, a miracle, we <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:09,600 –> 00:15:12,100
\nknow this quite well.
\nHe formed, Man, Out of the Dust <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:12,100 –> 00:15:13,700
\nof the ground.
\nAnd he breathed into his <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:13,700 –> 00:15:18,100
\nnostrils, the breath of life,
\nand Man became a living Soul, <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:18,900 –> 00:15:22,200
\nGod, created life.
\nFrom nothing at all. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:23,900 –> 00:15:27,600
\nAnd when Adam realized that he
\nwas alone, God put him into a <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:27,600 –> 00:15:30,800
\ndeep sleep.
\nAnd while he was asleep, he <\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:30,800 –> 00:15:35,500
\npierced his side, he took out a
\nrib and he formed a woman to <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:35,500 –> 00:15:41,400
\nmake him whole to complete him
\nand when he woke up, God brought<\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:41,400 –> 00:15:46,400
\nthe woman to him and he loved
\nher and he loved her because his<\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:46,400 –> 00:15:51,000
\ncomment was when he met Eve for
\nthe very first time, he said to <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:51,000 –> 00:15:54,000
\nher, this is part of my own
\nbody. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:55,300 –> 00:15:58,500
\nThat’s incredible isn’t it
\nbrothers and sisters because in <\/p>\n

254
\n00:15:58,500 –> 00:16:03,700
\nthat Parable we see four
\nthousand years later God once <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:03,700 –> 00:16:08,000
\nagain created life from nothing.
\nThe Holy Spirit Came Upon a <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:08,008 –> 00:16:12,700
\nvirgin called Mary and without
\nthe input of any man, a baby was<\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:12,700 –> 00:16:15,800
\nconceived and in 1st
\nCorinthians, 15, just a few <\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:15,800 –> 00:16:20,600
\nchapters on from where we are
\nPaul calls him the last Adam or <\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:20,600 –> 00:16:23,400
\nin Colossians 1.
\nHe refers to him as the <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:23,400 –> 00:16:27,600
\nfirstborn of Every creature and
\nhe was the beginning of a new <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:27,600 –> 00:16:30,700
\ncreation.
\nAnd at the end of his mortal <\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:30,700 –> 00:16:34,700
\nlife, our Lord Jesus Christ was
\nput into the sleep of death. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:35,800 –> 00:16:39,600
\nAnd what happened or the Romans
\npierced his side, didn’t they? <\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:39,600 –> 00:16:44,400
\nWith the spear?
\nAnd when he woke up, I bribed <\/p>\n

265
\n00:16:45,000 –> 00:16:47,600
\nthe Ecclesia was formed and our
\nLord. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:16:47,600 –> 00:16:49,300
\nJesus Christ.
\nLoved it. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:16:50,300 –> 00:16:54,000
\nHe absolutely loved it.
\nAnd when we come to First <\/p>\n

268
\n00:16:54,000 –> 00:16:59,000
\nCorinthians 11 and verse 11 and
\n12 it says here, nevertheless, <\/p>\n

269
\n00:16:59,700 –> 00:17:01,700
\nneither is The Man Without The
\nWoman. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:02,200 –> 00:17:06,000
\nNeither the woman without the
\nman in the Lord, for, as the <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:06,000 –> 00:17:09,700
\nwoman is of the man.
\nEven, so is the man, also by the<\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:09,700 –> 00:17:14,300
\nwoman, but all things are of God
\nand NaturallySpeaking, a man, <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:14,300 –> 00:17:17,500
\nand a woman, do their very
\nexistence to each other. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:19,599 –> 00:17:22,000
\nIs he in the beginning?
\nEve was taken out of Adam. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:23,200 –> 00:17:26,700
\nAnd the formation of Eve, was
\ndue to the very existence of <\/p>\n

276
\n00:17:26,700 –> 00:17:33,000
\nAdam in the first place.
\nBut from that point on Every man<\/p>\n

277
\n00:17:33,100 –> 00:17:39,400
\nowes his existence to a woman
\ngiving birth from generation to <\/p>\n

278
\n00:17:39,400 –> 00:17:44,000
\ngeneration.
\nAnd so Paul says, as the woman <\/p>\n

279
\n00:17:44,000 –> 00:17:48,900
\nis of the man even also is the
\nman by the woman, every woman <\/p>\n

280
\n00:17:48,900 –> 00:17:52,200
\nhas been born due to the input
\nof a man. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:17:53,200 –> 00:17:57,100
\nAnd every man has been born of a
\nmother. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:17:58,400 –> 00:18:02,300
\nMen and women are totally
\ndependent on each other. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:02,500 –> 00:18:07,000
\nThat’s the message of Genesis
\nchapter 2, but all ultimately <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:07,000 –> 00:18:10,300
\nowe their existence to their
\nfather in Heaven. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:11,700 –> 00:18:14,100
\nAnd so, when we look at these
\nnatural lessons from that story <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:14,100 –> 00:18:18,600
\nof Genesis, chapter 2, We see
\nthat they can also be seen in <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:18,600 –> 00:18:23,200
\nthe second creation.
\nThe Ecclesia of God, owes its <\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:23,200 –> 00:18:27,000
\nexistence to the Messiah.
\nWho was the beginning, the <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:27,000 –> 00:18:29,700
\nfirstborn from the dead yet at
\nthat. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:29,700 –> 00:18:34,500
\nSame time from that time.
\nSorry, the Ecclesia that was <\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:34,500 –> 00:18:38,600
\nfirst form.
\nBegins to grow, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n

292
\n00:18:38,700 –> 00:18:41,800
\nAnd it begins to grow from
\ngeneration to generation as <\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:41,800 –> 00:18:46,600
\nbrothers and sisters are born
\ninto that family by water, and <\/p>\n

294
\n00:18:46,600 –> 00:18:49,500
\nby spirit.
\nAnd by this, the Ecclesia is <\/p>\n

295
\n00:18:49,500 –> 00:18:53,000
\nnourished and sustained.
\nOur own Allegiant, is nourished <\/p>\n

296
\n00:18:53,000 –> 00:18:54,700
\nand sustained throughout the
\nages. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:18:55,400 –> 00:18:59,400
\nAnd when we think brothers and
\nsisters, Of the baptisms that <\/p>\n

298
\n00:18:59,400 –> 00:19:01,400
\nwe’ve had over the last couple
\nof years. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:02,100 –> 00:19:05,900
\nYou know, that a lot of those
\nbaptisms have not come from <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:05,900 –> 00:19:10,300
\nwithin this, Ecclesia, Eric
\nLeisure has been added to by the<\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:10,300 –> 00:19:13,000
\nby God, hasn’t he?
\nYou know, when we see brothers <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:13,000 –> 00:19:16,400
\nand sisters, like, brother, Greg
\nand sister Corrine Patterson <\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:16,600 –> 00:19:19,200
\nwhen we see brother, Tim and
\nbrother, Ellie and brother Bill,<\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:20,300 –> 00:19:26,100
\nAnd we see also sister Haley and
\nsister Emily, you know the <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:26,100 –> 00:19:30,600
\nEcclesia grows from within and
\nfrom without they are added to <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:30,600 –> 00:19:35,600
\nby the father and this brothers
\nand sisters is the parable of <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:35,600 –> 00:19:39,500
\nthe Ecclesia, isn’t it?
\nThat there is in this Parable, a<\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:39,508 –> 00:19:44,000
\ncomplete entwined dependence of
\nthe Ecclesia and our Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

309
\n00:19:44,000 –> 00:19:46,500
\nChrist.
\nJust as there is a complete <\/p>\n

310
\n00:19:46,800 –> 00:19:49,900
\nentwined dependence of men and
\nwomen upon each other. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:19:50,500 –> 00:19:52,700
\nWe are inseparable from our
\nLord. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:19:53,400 –> 00:19:56,900
\nYou cannot have an occasion
\nwithout the Messiah, and the <\/p>\n

313
\n00:19:56,900 –> 00:20:02,400
\npurpose of Messiah is made void.
\nIf there is no people to save <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:03,700 –> 00:20:07,300
\nand when we meet as an Ecclesia,
\nwe need both brothers and <\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:07,300 –> 00:20:11,400
\nsisters willing to come together
\nto submit to each other in love,<\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:11,900 –> 00:20:14,600
\nin the fear of God in order to
\nshow this parable. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:15,900 –> 00:20:17,700
\nBrothers willing to come to the
\nmeeting with their head <\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:17,700 –> 00:20:22,800
\nuncovered signaling, their
\nintent to give himself to build <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:22,800 –> 00:20:26,500
\nup the Ecclesia that exist here
\nat Cumberland And sisters <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:26,500 –> 00:20:29,900
\nwilling to come to the enclosure
\nwith their beautiful hair. <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:30,200 –> 00:20:32,300
\nThe glory that God has given
\nthem covered. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:33,500 –> 00:20:36,400
\nShowing the Ecclesia that this
\ngroup that meets here is not <\/p>\n

323
\n00:20:36,400 –> 00:20:40,300
\nsaved by their own strength, or
\nby their own might, but by the <\/p>\n

324
\n00:20:40,300 –> 00:20:43,200
\nsacrifice of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist, and that language of <\/p>\n

325
\n00:20:43,200 –> 00:20:45,900
\ncovering is not foreign to us,
\nis it come over to Galatians <\/p>\n

326
\n00:20:45,900 –> 00:20:48,200
\nchapter 3.
\nBecause we see it here as well. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:20:48,500 –> 00:20:50,700
\nGalatians chapter 3 and verse
\n26. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:02,600 –> 00:21:05,900
\nAny Galatians 3 and verse 26.
\nHe’s talking about the family of<\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:05,900 –> 00:21:08,200
\nGod.
\nHe says for ye are all children <\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:08,200 –> 00:21:13,600
\nof God by faith in Christ Jesus.
\nFor as many of you have been <\/p>\n

331
\n00:21:13,600 –> 00:21:18,400
\nbaptized into Christ, have put
\non Christ like a Garmin <\/p>\n

332
\n00:21:18,500 –> 00:21:21,600
\ncompletely covered like a coat
\nso that when our father looks at<\/p>\n

333
\n00:21:21,600 –> 00:21:24,900
\nus, he sees his son in us the
\nLord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:26,000 –> 00:21:28,200
\nThere is neither Jew, nor Greek.
\nThere is neither Bond nor free. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:28,200 –> 00:21:34,200
\nThere is neither male or female
\nfor, ye are all one in Christ <\/p>\n

336
\n00:21:34,200 –> 00:21:35,700
\nJesus.
\nAnd if you be Christ’s then are <\/p>\n

337
\n00:21:35,700 –> 00:21:40,200
\nye Abraham’s seed and heirs,
\naccording to the promise. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:21:41,300 –> 00:21:43,800
\nYou know, brothers and sisters.
\nThis Parable can only be <\/p>\n

339
\n00:21:43,800 –> 00:21:46,100
\nproperly properly represented in
\nour Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:21:46,900 –> 00:21:49,300
\nIf you are willing to put aside
\nour differences from time to <\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:49,300 –> 00:21:53,500
\ntime early, And look for the
\nedifying and the building up of <\/p>\n

342
\n00:21:53,500 –> 00:21:58,600
\nour brothers and our sisters.
\nWhen we see our brothers and our<\/p>\n

343
\n00:21:58,600 –> 00:22:02,500
\nsisters come together and humbly
\nand act these symbols and play <\/p>\n

344
\n00:22:02,500 –> 00:22:04,500
\ntheir part in the Ecclesia of
\nthis. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:22:04,500 –> 00:22:08,900
\nParable, a brother committing to
\nhis sits sisters to die for this<\/p>\n

346
\n00:22:08,900 –> 00:22:13,100
\nocclusion to literally die.
\nIf that is, what is required and<\/p>\n

347
\n00:22:13,100 –> 00:22:17,600
\na sister come to the Ecclesia
\nand saying to her brother’s, I <\/p>\n

348
\n00:22:17,600 –> 00:22:20,100
\nEmpower you to be that man, the
\nLord Jesus Christ, in the <\/p>\n

349
\n00:22:20,100 –> 00:22:24,000
\nseclusion.
\nAnd Paul is telling us here that<\/p>\n

350
\n00:22:24,600 –> 00:22:26,100
\na family needs each other, don’t
\nwe? <\/p>\n

351
\n00:22:26,100 –> 00:22:28,800
\nWe need each other.
\nWe cannot dwell alone. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:22:28,800 –> 00:22:31,400
\nWe need each other for our
\nidentity to be strong. <\/p>\n

353
\n00:22:32,500 –> 00:22:36,100
\nWe can’t exist alone because you
\ncan love the Lord, your God, <\/p>\n

354
\n00:22:36,100 –> 00:22:39,000
\nwith all your heart, your mind,
\nyour soul, and your strength on <\/p>\n

355
\n00:22:39,000 –> 00:22:40,800
\nyour own.
\nYou can love him with all of <\/p>\n

356
\n00:22:40,800 –> 00:22:43,900
\nthat.
\nBut you can’t love your neighbor<\/p>\n

357
\n00:22:43,900 –> 00:22:46,000
\nas yourself without anyone to
\nlove. <\/p>\n

358
\n00:22:46,000 –> 00:22:50,600
\nKenny.
\nSo, you can only fulfill half of<\/p>\n

359
\n00:22:50,600 –> 00:22:53,000
\nthat greatest commandment
\nwithout your brothers and <\/p>\n

360
\n00:22:53,000 –> 00:22:58,500
\nsisters. and as with the natural
\nfamily, you can’t choose who <\/p>\n

361
\n00:22:58,500 –> 00:23:02,200
\nyour brothers and sisters are.
\nYou might want to be a part of <\/p>\n

362
\n00:23:02,208 –> 00:23:05,200
\nsomebody else’s family from time
\nto time and we sometimes express<\/p>\n

363
\n00:23:05,200 –> 00:23:06,800
\nit, don’t we?
\nI wish I was part of such and <\/p>\n

364
\n00:23:06,800 –> 00:23:09,400
\nsuch as family.
\nThey have heaps more fun than we<\/p>\n

365
\n00:23:09,400 –> 00:23:13,900
\ndo.
\nBut you can’t you get what God <\/p>\n

366
\n00:23:13,900 –> 00:23:15,500
\nis given and they are good for
\nus. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:16,800 –> 00:23:19,000
\nBut you also can’t get to know
\nhim without letting them <\/p>\n

368
\n00:23:19,000 –> 00:23:22,500
\nintimately into your life.
\nSo when we, when we look at a <\/p>\n

369
\n00:23:22,500 –> 00:23:26,200
\nnatural family, if you have one
\nbrothers and sisters, sharing <\/p>\n

370
\n00:23:26,200 –> 00:23:29,200
\nrooms, I’m I shared a room with
\nmy brother till I left home <\/p>\n

371
\n00:23:29,900 –> 00:23:31,800
\nsharing rooms.
\nYou’re on top of each other. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:23:31,800 –> 00:23:33,500
\nYou’re in each others face.
\nYou’re fighting. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:23:33,500 –> 00:23:35,000
\nYou’re laughing.
\nYou’re carrying on. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:23:35,400 –> 00:23:37,200
\nYou go through the whole of life
\ntogether. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:23:38,400 –> 00:23:42,000
\nThat’s what the occlusal family
\nis in each other’s Pockets, <\/p>\n

376
\n00:23:42,100 –> 00:23:45,900
\nannoying, the heck out of each
\nother, from time to time and yet<\/p>\n

377
\n00:23:46,600 –> 00:23:49,500
\nthere is something about
\nbrothers and sisters that can <\/p>\n

378
\n00:23:49,500 –> 00:23:53,300
\nnever be removed through time.
\nThey have that commonality of <\/p>\n

379
\n00:23:53,300 –> 00:23:56,500
\nspending so much time together.
\nThere is a bond there that can <\/p>\n

380
\n00:23:56,500 –> 00:24:00,000
\nnever be replicated and that’s
\nthe natural lesson that we’re <\/p>\n

381
\n00:24:00,000 –> 00:24:02,000
\ntrying to achieve.
\nIsn’t it brothers and sisters <\/p>\n

382
\n00:24:02,000 –> 00:24:05,900
\nwith our Ecclesia to let each
\nother intimately into our lives <\/p>\n

383
\n00:24:06,200 –> 00:24:09,300
\nto get to know each other and
\nthat lesson Is dependence on <\/p>\n

384
\n00:24:09,300 –> 00:24:12,900
\neach other.
\nCome back to First Corinthians <\/p>\n

385
\n00:24:12,900 –> 00:24:15,600
\n11, brothers and sisters because
\nnow he moves into another <\/p>\n

386
\n00:24:15,600 –> 00:24:20,300
\nsection where he begins to talk
\nabout the bread and the wine and<\/p>\n

387
\n00:24:20,300 –> 00:24:22,200
\nwe know this section.
\nSo, well, don’t we were here at <\/p>\n

388
\n00:24:22,200 –> 00:24:26,200
\nalmost every single Sunday And
\nhe starts. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:24:28,000 –> 00:24:32,200
\nIn this section here by rebuking
\nthe Ecclesia for the way that it<\/p>\n

390
\n00:24:32,200 –> 00:24:33,500
\nis acting.
\nWhen it comes together. <\/p>\n

391
\n00:24:33,500 –> 00:24:38,000
\nHave a look at verse 17.
\nNow, in this that I declare unto<\/p>\n

392
\n00:24:38,000 –> 00:24:40,700
\nyou, I praise you.
\nNot that when you come together,<\/p>\n

393
\n00:24:41,300 –> 00:24:44,200
\nnot for better.
\nBut for the worse and the manner<\/p>\n

394
\n00:24:44,200 –> 00:24:46,900
\nin which they were coming
\ntogether was destructive rather <\/p>\n

395
\n00:24:46,900 –> 00:24:48,600
\nthan building each other up,
\nwasn’t it? <\/p>\n

396
\n00:24:50,900 –> 00:24:54,400
\nAnd in verse 20, he says, when
\nyou come together therefore into<\/p>\n

397
\n00:24:54,400 –> 00:24:57,700
\none place that is, this is not
\nto eat the Lord’s Supper. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:24:58,700 –> 00:25:02,000
\nFor eating everyone taketh
\nbefore another his own supper, <\/p>\n

399
\n00:25:02,000 –> 00:25:06,500
\nand one is hungry.
\nAnd another is drunken What have<\/p>\n

400
\n00:25:06,500 –> 00:25:08,400
\nyou not houses to eat into
\ndrinking? <\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:10,000 –> 00:25:13,900
\nDespise you, the Ecclesia of God
\nand shame them that have not. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:25:14,500 –> 00:25:16,700
\nWhat shall I say to you?
\nShall I Praise You In This? <\/p>\n

403
\n00:25:16,800 –> 00:25:19,200
\nI praise you.
\nNot and the manner in which they<\/p>\n

404
\n00:25:19,200 –> 00:25:21,500
\nwere coming together in that
\noccasion to celebrate the <\/p>\n

405
\n00:25:21,500 –> 00:25:23,100
\nLord’s.
\nFeast also have the memorial <\/p>\n

406
\n00:25:23,100 –> 00:25:27,900
\nFeast was not an imitation of
\nthe supper that the Lord set out<\/p>\n

407
\n00:25:27,900 –> 00:25:32,600
\nwas it.
\nAnd so we have a section of <\/p>\n

408
\n00:25:32,600 –> 00:25:35,100
\nscripture here that we have
\nread. <\/p>\n

409
\n00:25:37,400 –> 00:25:45,100
\nAlmost every Sunday of the year.
\nThat’s really a solution for a <\/p>\n

410
\n00:25:45,100 –> 00:25:47,600
\nselfish attitude that existed in
\nthe Corinthian. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:25:47,600 –> 00:25:51,400
\nEcclesia.
\nBecause the brothers and sisters<\/p>\n

412
\n00:25:51,700 –> 00:25:56,800
\nin coming together, we’re taking
\nsome of them were taking food <\/p>\n

413
\n00:25:56,900 –> 00:26:00,700
\nbefore another, rather than
\nsharing between themselves as <\/p>\n

414
\n00:26:00,700 –> 00:26:03,900
\nthe Lord did in his last supper.
\nRemember what he did. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:26:04,700 –> 00:26:08,600
\nHe, he imitated what he did in
\nthe feeding of the 5000, didn’t <\/p>\n

416
\n00:26:08,600 –> 00:26:10,500
\nhe?
\nAnd he broke the bread and he <\/p>\n

417
\n00:26:10,500 –> 00:26:14,300
\ndistributed to them evenly so
\nthat they all shared of the same<\/p>\n

418
\n00:26:14,300 –> 00:26:16,300
\nLoaf and they all took of the
\nsame cup. <\/p>\n

419
\n00:26:18,100 –> 00:26:20,600
\nBut these brothers and sisters
\nhere, some of them were taking <\/p>\n

420
\n00:26:20,600 –> 00:26:23,500
\nbefore another and they were
\neating through access. <\/p>\n

421
\n00:26:23,600 –> 00:26:26,500
\nThose that could provide for
\nthemselves at this Memorial Mill<\/p>\n

422
\n00:26:26,800 –> 00:26:28,800
\nwere coming and they were having
\nthe time of their life in the <\/p>\n

423
\n00:26:28,800 –> 00:26:31,900
\nocclusion.
\nAnd there were other brothers <\/p>\n

424
\n00:26:31,900 –> 00:26:34,900
\nand sisters.
\nWho are coming together. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:26:34,900 –> 00:26:38,100
\nThey were ashamed to be there
\nbecause they didn’t have <\/p>\n

426
\n00:26:38,100 –> 00:26:40,600
\nanything to eat.
\nThey either couldn’t provide or <\/p>\n

427
\n00:26:40,600 –> 00:26:44,500
\nthey didn’t have time to provide
\nfor themselves. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:26:45,000 –> 00:26:52,200
\nAnd so the section here causes
\nus to think about Selfishness, <\/p>\n

429
\n00:26:52,200 –> 00:26:58,300
\ndoesn’t it?
\nbecause in verse 23, on the same<\/p>\n

430
\n00:26:58,300 –> 00:27:03,200
\nnight in which he was betrayed,
\nthe night of Terror, a night of <\/p>\n

431
\n00:27:03,200 –> 00:27:05,800
\npain and fear for our Lord, the
\nnight of doubt. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:27:06,900 –> 00:27:09,900
\nA night of uncertainty in which
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ wanted to <\/p>\n

433
\n00:27:09,900 –> 00:27:13,500
\nrun away and hide the worst
\nnight of our Lord’s life. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:27:16,100 –> 00:27:20,400
\nThe night he submitted his will
\nto his father, he took bread. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:27:21,500 –> 00:27:25,700
\nHe shared it amongst his
\ndisciples, he gave them a symbol<\/p>\n

436
\n00:27:26,200 –> 00:27:28,900
\nof his body that was about to be
\nbroken for them. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:27:29,300 –> 00:27:34,900
\nAnd he said to them in verse 24
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:27:36,300 –> 00:27:40,200
\nAnd in verse 25, he took the cup
\nand he gave them the symbol of <\/p>\n

439
\n00:27:40,200 –> 00:27:45,700
\nhis blood shed.
\nAnd he said this do as often as <\/p>\n

440
\n00:27:45,700 –> 00:27:48,200
\nyou drink it in remembrance of
\nme. <\/p>\n

441
\n00:27:49,100 –> 00:27:53,400
\nAnd then he says in verse 26,
\nfor as often as ye, eat this <\/p>\n

442
\n00:27:53,400 –> 00:27:58,000
\nbread and drink this cup, you do
\nshow the Lord’s death till he <\/p>\n

443
\n00:27:58,000 –> 00:28:00,000
\ncome and it’s an unusual Focus,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n

444
\n00:28:00,000 –> 00:28:02,700
\nBrothers and sisters that he
\nshould focus. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:28:03,600 –> 00:28:08,300
\nOn one part.
\nOf the Lord’s death and <\/p>\n

446
\n00:28:08,300 –> 00:28:09,900
\nResurrection.
\nBecause when we come to a <\/p>\n

447
\n00:28:09,900 –> 00:28:14,800
\nmemorial Feast, we would say
\nthat this is the Lord’s life, <\/p>\n

448
\n00:28:14,800 –> 00:28:18,700
\nhis death and his resurrection
\nand the death has no. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:28:18,700 –> 00:28:22,400
\nMeaning at all, without the
\nlife, to give it power, the <\/p>\n

450
\n00:28:22,400 –> 00:28:27,200
\nresurrection from the dead again
\nand yet Paul focuses only on the<\/p>\n

451
\n00:28:27,200 –> 00:28:30,500
\nbreaking of the body, the
\nshedding of the blood, the <\/p>\n

452
\n00:28:30,500 –> 00:28:34,200
\nLord’s death, till he come, why
\ndoes he do that? <\/p>\n

453
\n00:28:34,300 –> 00:28:37,800
\nWhy does he only focus on the
\nFiction the Death part of the <\/p>\n

454
\n00:28:37,800 –> 00:28:41,800
\nmemorial Feast here.
\nWell, the answer is brothers and<\/p>\n

455
\n00:28:41,800 –> 00:28:46,900
\nsisters that before life.
\nCame a painful death that the <\/p>\n

456
\n00:28:46,900 –> 00:28:50,600
\nEcclesia might be saved and the
\nenclosure at Corinth had <\/p>\n

457
\n00:28:50,600 –> 00:28:54,000
\nforgotten what it meant to die
\nto self. <\/p>\n

458
\n00:28:55,300 –> 00:28:57,700
\nThey needed to be reminded that
\nbefore they could walk in <\/p>\n

459
\n00:28:57,700 –> 00:29:00,100
\nnewness of life with their lord.
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:29:00,300 –> 00:29:03,500
\nThey first, had to sacrifice
\nthemselves for other brothers <\/p>\n

461
\n00:29:03,500 –> 00:29:06,700
\nand sisters in the Ecclesia.
\nBy crucifying the lust, <\/p>\n

462
\n00:29:06,900 –> 00:29:10,100
\ncrucifying the flesh with the
\nlusts and affections. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:29:11,600 –> 00:29:16,800
\nI had to give up their rights
\nand what they wanted to do for <\/p>\n

464
\n00:29:16,800 –> 00:29:21,400
\ntheir brothers and sisters.
\nAnd it causes us to stop and <\/p>\n

465
\n00:29:21,400 –> 00:29:24,500
\npause for a minute, doesn’t it?
\nDo we come to and the Ecclesia <\/p>\n

466
\n00:29:24,500 –> 00:29:26,600
\nhere?
\nWhen we meet for better or <\/p>\n

467
\n00:29:26,600 –> 00:29:30,000
\nworse, does our attitude make
\nour meeting with the Ecclesia <\/p>\n

468
\n00:29:30,000 –> 00:29:32,700
\nBetter or Worse?
\nDoes that attitude build the <\/p>\n

469
\n00:29:32,700 –> 00:29:34,600
\nEcclesia?
\nDespite the difficulties that we<\/p>\n

470
\n00:29:34,600 –> 00:29:37,100
\nmight face from time to time?
\nOr does it pull it down? <\/p>\n

471
\n00:29:38,500 –> 00:29:42,600
\nand when we come together as an
\nEcclesia, We have to realize <\/p>\n

472
\n00:29:42,600 –> 00:29:44,800
\ndon’t weed that like the
\nbrothers and sisters here in <\/p>\n

473
\n00:29:44,800 –> 00:29:49,800
\nCorinth that Fellowship that
\nOneness of mind, will certainly <\/p>\n

474
\n00:29:49,800 –> 00:29:52,300
\ncome at a personal cost
\nsomewhere along the line. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:29:53,900 –> 00:29:58,500
\nAnd so that’s why Paul picked to
\nfocus on the death and the <\/p>\n

476
\n00:29:58,500 –> 00:30:00,500
\ncrucifixion of our Lord.
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:30:00,500 –> 00:30:04,300
\nOnly in first of Corinthians 11
\nhere. <\/p>\n

478
\n00:30:05,400 –> 00:30:10,600
\nAnd he says, when you meet
\ntogether in verse 28, let a man <\/p>\n

479
\n00:30:10,600 –> 00:30:14,400
\nexamine himself, let a man
\nexamine himself. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:30:15,800 –> 00:30:18,500
\nLet him think about his attitude
\nto the Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:30:19,200 –> 00:30:21,500
\nLet him think about the
\ncrucifixion of our Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

482
\n00:30:21,500 –> 00:30:24,000
\nChrist.
\nAnd whether he has put to death <\/p>\n

483
\n00:30:24,200 –> 00:30:29,400
\nthat which Rises up in him the
\nnatural process of selfishness, <\/p>\n

484
\n00:30:29,900 –> 00:30:34,700
\nlet him put that to death.
\nAnd let him eat and drink of <\/p>\n

485
\n00:30:34,700 –> 00:30:41,800
\nthat bread, and that wine.
\nAnd in Romans 12, he says, to us<\/p>\n

486
\n00:30:42,500 –> 00:30:44,800
\npresent your bodies a Living
\nSacrifice, it’s an <\/p>\n

487
\n00:30:44,800 –> 00:30:47,000
\nimpossibility, isn’t it?
\nBrothers and sisters, you can’t <\/p>\n

488
\n00:30:47,000 –> 00:30:49,600
\nhave a Living Sacrifice.
\nA sacrifice is dead. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:30:51,600 –> 00:30:55,100
\nExcept that in Romans 6.
\nHe says we’re dead to sin, but <\/p>\n

490
\n00:30:55,100 –> 00:30:57,700
\nwe’re alive to God or in
\nGalatians. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:30:57,700 –> 00:31:00,700
\nI am crucified but Christ lives
\nin me. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:31:00,900 –> 00:31:02,700
\nThat’s a Living Sacrifice, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n

493
\n00:31:03,200 –> 00:31:04,900
\nAnd it’s an attitude that is in
\nus. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:31:04,900 –> 00:31:07,600
\nThat’s others centered rather
\nthan self-centered. <\/p>\n

495
\n00:31:07,700 –> 00:31:10,900
\nAnd what greater example could
\nwe have them when we come this <\/p>\n

496
\n00:31:10,900 –> 00:31:15,800
\nmorning to a memorial meeting?
\nTo remember a man who took care <\/p>\n

497
\n00:31:15,800 –> 00:31:20,400
\nof the needs of his brothers and
\nsisters on the night that he was<\/p>\n

498
\n00:31:20,400 –> 00:31:23,300
\ngoing to die.
\nThat’s dying to self. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:31:23,300 –> 00:31:24,500
\nIsn’t it?
\nBrothers and sisters? <\/p>\n

500
\n00:31:25,400 –> 00:31:30,800
\nWhat an example. and so then we
\nfind ourselves in 1st <\/p>\n

501
\n00:31:30,800 –> 00:31:37,800
\nCorinthians, chapter 12, And
\nhere the theme of our exultation<\/p>\n

502
\n00:31:38,700 –> 00:31:41,100
\nis written plainly.
\nIn fact it’s reinforced five <\/p>\n

503
\n00:31:41,100 –> 00:31:43,800
\ntimes.
\nIsn’t it in verse 4 to 6? <\/p>\n

504
\n00:31:44,100 –> 00:31:47,900
\nNow there are diversities of
\ngifts but the Same Spirit, there<\/p>\n

505
\n00:31:47,900 –> 00:31:50,100
\nare differences of
\nadministration’s but the same <\/p>\n

506
\n00:31:50,100 –> 00:31:54,000
\nLord, there are diversities of
\noperations but the same God, <\/p>\n

507
\n00:31:54,000 –> 00:31:58,200
\nwhich works in all.
\nAnd then in verse 12, he says, <\/p>\n

508
\n00:31:58,200 –> 00:32:01,900
\nfor as the body is one and hath
\nmany members and all the members<\/p>\n

509
\n00:32:02,200 –> 00:32:08,200
\nof that one, body being many are
\none body, So also is Christ, <\/p>\n

510
\n00:32:08,500 –> 00:32:12,700
\ncome over to verse 14.
\nFor the body, is not one member,<\/p>\n

511
\n00:32:12,700 –> 00:32:16,500
\nbut many and in verse 20.
\nBut now are they many members <\/p>\n

512
\n00:32:16,500 –> 00:32:17,600
\nyet?
\nOne body. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:32:18,300 –> 00:32:23,400
\nAnd finally, in verse 27 now ye
\nare the body of Christ and <\/p>\n

514
\n00:32:23,400 –> 00:32:28,700
\nmembers in particular, and Paul
\nis telling us that after we <\/p>\n

515
\n00:32:28,700 –> 00:32:32,000
\nlearn to appreciate that the
\nmembers in the Ecclesia are <\/p>\n

516
\n00:32:32,000 –> 00:32:35,200
\ncompletely dependent on one
\nanother after we learn to <\/p>\n

517
\n00:32:35,200 –> 00:32:37,900
\nappreciate.
\nThe spirit of self-sacrifice is <\/p>\n

518
\n00:32:37,900 –> 00:32:41,600
\nthe only way and Ecclesia can
\nlive harmoniously together. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:32:42,800 –> 00:32:46,800
\nWill also come to understand
\nthat all the members of the <\/p>\n

520
\n00:32:46,800 –> 00:32:50,900
\nfamily are different from one
\nanother, with different <\/p>\n

521
\n00:32:50,900 –> 00:32:54,900
\nstrengths, and different
\nweaknesses, and have a look at <\/p>\n

522
\n00:32:54,900 –> 00:32:59,000
\nwhy that is in verse 18 now.
\nGod has set the members every <\/p>\n

523
\n00:32:59,000 –> 00:33:02,000
\none of them in the body as it
\nhath pleased. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:33:02,900 –> 00:33:07,100
\nHe makes us different because he
\nwants us to be different, that’s<\/p>\n

525
\n00:33:07,100 –> 00:33:10,300
\nwhy we’re different.
\nHe could have made us all clones<\/p>\n

526
\n00:33:10,600 –> 00:33:13,400
\nwhich would have had a perfect
\nharmonious Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:33:13,400 –> 00:33:16,400
\nWe would have all been going in
\nthe same direction and yet, <\/p>\n

528
\n00:33:16,400 –> 00:33:19,400
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nHe chose not to, he chose to <\/p>\n

529
\n00:33:19,400 –> 00:33:23,500
\ntake the most disparate group of
\npeople you can possibly have and<\/p>\n

530
\n00:33:23,500 –> 00:33:26,000
\nplot them into one occasion.
\nThat’s it. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:33:26,800 –> 00:33:29,700
\nNow, you are a family work it
\nout. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:33:32,200 –> 00:33:39,700
\nAnd brothers and sisters.
\nPeople cannot say I’m not of the<\/p>\n

533
\n00:33:39,700 –> 00:33:42,900
\nbody.
\nI’m not at the body. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:33:43,300 –> 00:33:45,300
\nI’m not a leg.
\nSo I can’t be part of the body <\/p>\n

535
\n00:33:46,100 –> 00:33:48,400
\nand the Ecclesia can’t say,
\nbecause you’re not a knows <\/p>\n

536
\n00:33:48,400 –> 00:33:54,000
\nyou’re not part of the body.
\nbecause in verse 24, God hath <\/p>\n

537
\n00:33:54,000 –> 00:33:57,400
\ntempered the body together.
\nHe’s made everyone different. <\/p>\n

538
\n00:33:57,800 –> 00:34:03,400
\nHe’s put us all together.
\nAnd in verse 25, he wants us to <\/p>\n

539
\n00:34:03,400 –> 00:34:07,600
\nunderstand that so that there
\nwill be no Schism in the body, <\/p>\n

540
\n00:34:08,500 –> 00:34:13,500
\nbut that all the members should
\nhave the same care, one for <\/p>\n

541
\n00:34:13,500 –> 00:34:20,600
\nanother And this appreciation of
\ndifference. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:34:22,000 –> 00:34:24,900
\nIs what he wants us to
\nunderstand in chapter 12 here. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:34:26,000 –> 00:34:29,699
\nAnd that careful one.
\nAnother can only stem from a <\/p>\n

544
\n00:34:29,699 –> 00:34:33,600
\npatient, understanding that
\nthere are no two people in an <\/p>\n

545
\n00:34:33,600 –> 00:34:38,800
\nocclusion that are the same.
\nAnd that the talents and the <\/p>\n

546
\n00:34:38,800 –> 00:34:43,300
\nabilities within an Ecclesia are
\nso varied, and different <\/p>\n

547
\n00:34:43,300 –> 00:34:46,800
\nsituations will see those
\nnatural gifts that the father <\/p>\n

548
\n00:34:46,800 –> 00:34:50,400
\nhas given to each one of us come
\nto the surface and shine. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:34:51,900 –> 00:34:56,800
\nBut it will take time, why not?
\nAnd it will take persistence and<\/p>\n

550
\n00:34:56,800 –> 00:35:00,400
\nsometimes it will take years and
\nyears and years. <\/p>\n

551
\n00:35:00,400 –> 00:35:05,200
\nBefore we at the value of any
\npart of the body becomes evident<\/p>\n

552
\n00:35:07,900 –> 00:35:12,200
\nBut to understand that the
\nfather has placed value on each <\/p>\n

553
\n00:35:12,200 –> 00:35:15,500
\nmember in the body, whether it’s
\nevident or not and he has <\/p>\n

554
\n00:35:15,500 –> 00:35:17,500
\nbrought them to be a part of
\nthis family. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:35:18,500 –> 00:35:23,200
\nIs enough for us to love that,
\nbrother and sister. and when we <\/p>\n

556
\n00:35:23,200 –> 00:35:28,300
\nlook at an occasion, there is
\nsuch diversity in and Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:35:28,600 –> 00:35:32,000
\nIt really is a big Melting Pot
\nof humanity, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

558
\n00:35:32,700 –> 00:35:36,400
\nAnd at times that, diversity
\nwill produce a unified Direction<\/p>\n

559
\n00:35:36,900 –> 00:35:39,700
\njust like the first century
\nocclusion, they had all things <\/p>\n

560
\n00:35:39,700 –> 00:35:42,900
\nin one Accord, they were moving
\nin the same direction, weren’t <\/p>\n

561
\n00:35:42,900 –> 00:35:44,600
\nthey?
\nBut at other times within the <\/p>\n

562
\n00:35:44,600 –> 00:35:49,000
\nEcclesia, it’ll produce times of
\ntension, and both are okay. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:35:50,100 –> 00:35:54,300
\nIt’s okay to have tension in a
\nclosure if we are willing to <\/p>\n

564
\n00:35:54,300 –> 00:35:57,300
\nstick it out.
\nIf we are willing to play the <\/p>\n

565
\n00:35:57,300 –> 00:36:01,200
\nlong game with our brothers and
\nsisters to see the value that <\/p>\n

566
\n00:36:01,200 –> 00:36:04,600
\nGod sees in them, and to work
\nthrough those times of <\/p>\n

567
\n00:36:04,600 –> 00:36:09,800
\ndifficulty, so that we can enjoy
\nthose times of unity. and those <\/p>\n

568
\n00:36:09,800 –> 00:36:13,100
\ntimes of difficulty, produce
\nopportunities, for self <\/p>\n

569
\n00:36:13,100 –> 00:36:17,400
\nExamination for self-sacrifice
\nand to grow in understanding of <\/p>\n

570
\n00:36:17,408 –> 00:36:22,300
\nour brothers and sisters,
\nBecause those times of unity and<\/p>\n

571
\n00:36:22,300 –> 00:36:26,100
\nthose times of tension are just
\npassing stages in our overall <\/p>\n

572
\n00:36:26,100 –> 00:36:28,600
\nlife, aren’t they?
\nAnd we’ve all seen them both a <\/p>\n

573
\n00:36:28,607 –> 00:36:32,200
\ncliches, go in cycles and
\nsometimes they’re good and <\/p>\n

574
\n00:36:32,200 –> 00:36:36,300
\nsometimes they’re not as good.
\nBut they’re passing Cycles. <\/p>\n

575
\n00:36:36,300 –> 00:36:39,700
\nThey do not abide forever yet.
\nThe one thing that abides <\/p>\n

576
\n00:36:39,700 –> 00:36:42,800
\nforever and that will exist
\nafter all of those occasions <\/p>\n

577
\n00:36:42,800 –> 00:36:48,000
\nhave passed is our attitude to
\nthe Ecclesia during those times.<\/p>\n

578
\n00:36:49,300 –> 00:36:51,100
\nAnd so we have our segue into
\nfirst 2. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:36:51,100 –> 00:36:54,900
\nCorinthians 13 verse 4.
\nBecause here is the attitude <\/p>\n

580
\n00:36:54,900 –> 00:37:01,600
\nthat abides forever.
\nLove suffereth long. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:37:03,400 –> 00:37:05,900
\nNow that’s important, isn’t it
\nbrothers and sisters because <\/p>\n

582
\n00:37:05,900 –> 00:37:09,200
\nsometimes it feels like we do
\nhave to suffer long in and <\/p>\n

583
\n00:37:09,200 –> 00:37:13,600
\nEcclesia when things don’t feel
\nRosy and you have to keep <\/p>\n

584
\n00:37:13,600 –> 00:37:17,600
\nrocking up and keep talking to
\npeople and brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n

585
\n00:37:17,600 –> 00:37:21,800
\nThose long-term relationships
\nare what we’re looking for. <\/p>\n

586
\n00:37:22,300 –> 00:37:25,100
\nAnd I’ve personally seen the
\nbenefits of working in a <\/p>\n

587
\n00:37:25,100 –> 00:37:28,600
\ncollegial life and a, my own
\nworkplace of being somewhere. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:37:28,600 –> 00:37:30,600
\nI’ve been working the same place
\nfor 20 years. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:37:31,400 –> 00:37:35,100
\nAnd I work with the same people,
\nthe same six people for the last<\/p>\n

590
\n00:37:35,100 –> 00:37:38,500
\n10 years, you know exactly what
\nmakes them tick. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:37:38,700 –> 00:37:40,900
\nYou know what their triggers
\nare, you know, how to get the <\/p>\n

592
\n00:37:40,900 –> 00:37:43,500
\ngood and the bad out of all of
\nthem. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:37:44,700 –> 00:37:48,400
\nIt’s the long game we’re playing
\nisn’t that patient, waiting that<\/p>\n

594
\n00:37:48,400 –> 00:37:53,400
\nlong suffering with brothers and
\nsisters to allow God, to extract<\/p>\n

595
\n00:37:53,400 –> 00:37:56,800
\nthat value out of them in an
\nocclusal environment and show it<\/p>\n

596
\n00:37:56,800 –> 00:38:06,400
\nto the Ecclesia?
\nlove suffers long, its kind It <\/p>\n

597
\n00:38:06,400 –> 00:38:11,600
\ndoesn’t Envy.
\nDoesn’t want itself and is not <\/p>\n

598
\n00:38:11,600 –> 00:38:15,600
\npuffed up.
\nIt does not behave itself <\/p>\n

599
\n00:38:15,600 –> 00:38:18,600
\nunseemly.
\nIt seeks not her own. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:38:19,400 –> 00:38:23,200
\nIt’s not easily provoked,
\nthinketh no evil. <\/p>\n

601
\n00:38:24,400 –> 00:38:28,600
\nIt rejoices not in iniquity, but
\nit rejoices in truth. <\/p>\n

602
\n00:38:29,800 –> 00:38:34,200
\nIt Bears, all things believes
\nall things, it hope of all <\/p>\n

603
\n00:38:34,200 –> 00:38:37,200
\nthings.
\nIt endures all things. <\/p>\n

604
\n00:38:37,800 –> 00:38:43,400
\nLove never fails. and when we
\nget to the kingdom, brothers and<\/p>\n

605
\n00:38:43,400 –> 00:38:48,600
\nsisters in verse 13, Now, abides
\nfaith, hope, and love these <\/p>\n

606
\n00:38:48,600 –> 00:38:51,500
\nthree, but the greatest of these
\nis love. <\/p>\n

607
\n00:38:51,500 –> 00:38:53,700
\nWhy?
\nBecause in the Kingdom age <\/p>\n

608
\n00:38:53,700 –> 00:38:57,100
\nFaith, and Hope will be realized
\neverything that we have looked <\/p>\n

609
\n00:38:57,100 –> 00:38:59,800
\nforward to will be realized
\nFaith and Hope will be made a <\/p>\n

610
\n00:38:59,808 –> 00:39:03,500
\nreality.
\nThey’re finished with. <\/p>\n

611
\n00:39:04,700 –> 00:39:11,300
\nBut love is not it continues on.
\nAnd it continues on past the <\/p>\n

612
\n00:39:11,300 –> 00:39:15,400
\nkingdom age, it continues on
\ninto Revelation, 21 and 22 <\/p>\n

613
\n00:39:15,400 –> 00:39:19,400
\nbeyond the kingdom age.
\nAnd brothers and sisters, when <\/p>\n

614
\n00:39:19,400 –> 00:39:22,600
\nwe think about that Kingdom age.
\nWhen we stand with our Lord, <\/p>\n

615
\n00:39:22,600 –> 00:39:25,100
\nJesus Christ, praising the
\nFather in heaven. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:39:25,200 –> 00:39:28,600
\nFor all the work that he has
\ndone. if we haven’t learned to <\/p>\n

617
\n00:39:28,607 –> 00:39:33,000
\nlove our brothers and sisters,
\nit’s going to be a whole, isn’t <\/p>\n

618
\n00:39:33,000 –> 00:39:34,700
\nthere?
\nIf we don’t want our brothers <\/p>\n

619
\n00:39:34,700 –> 00:39:38,500
\nand sisters in the kingdom of
\nGod, says no, they’re going to <\/p>\n

620
\n00:39:38,500 –> 00:39:41,700
\nbe there, so, whatever you’re
\ngoing to feel in the kingdom. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:39:41,700 –> 00:39:43,800
\nWhen you stand beside those
\nbrothers and sisters in <\/p>\n

622
\n00:39:43,800 –> 00:39:46,800
\nimmortality, let’s try and
\ndevelop that now. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:39:48,100 –> 00:39:50,100
\nAnd you can only love what, you
\nknow. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:39:51,300 –> 00:39:53,200
\nAnd you can only love your
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:39:53,200 –> 00:39:56,500
\nIf you spend time with them, if
\nyou choose to work with them, <\/p>\n

626
\n00:39:57,100 –> 00:40:01,100
\nthrough every situation that
\narises in a collegial life, both<\/p>\n

627
\n00:40:01,100 –> 00:40:04,500
\njoyful both, sorrowful both
\nhappy and sad. <\/p>\n

628
\n00:40:04,500 –> 00:40:06,500
\nBoth enjoyable and both
\ndifficult. <\/p>\n

629
\n00:40:07,100 –> 00:40:11,600
\nAll of those situations give us
\nthe opportunity to spend time <\/p>\n

630
\n00:40:11,600 –> 00:40:14,100
\nwith our brothers and sisters
\nand develop that love their a <\/p>\n

631
\n00:40:14,100 –> 00:40:19,800
\nFirst Corinthians chapter 13.
\nAnd the reality is that, at the <\/p>\n

632
\n00:40:19,800 –> 00:40:23,300
\nend of this life, when the angel
\nknocks on our door. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:40:23,300 –> 00:40:27,300
\nAnd at that point, This life is
\nended. <\/p>\n

634
\n00:40:28,300 –> 00:40:30,200
\nWe’re going to step into a new
\nlife, aren’t we? <\/p>\n

635
\n00:40:30,300 –> 00:40:34,000
\nAt that point, that’s it.
\nThis life is over. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:40:34,600 –> 00:40:38,300
\nThere are only two things that
\nwe walk out of the house, with <\/p>\n

637
\n00:40:39,000 –> 00:40:42,900
\nonly two things.
\nOur relationship with our father<\/p>\n

638
\n00:40:42,900 –> 00:40:45,800
\nin Heaven.
\nAnd our relationship with our <\/p>\n

639
\n00:40:45,808 –> 00:40:48,800
\nbrothers and sisters at that
\npoint in time. <\/p>\n

640
\n00:40:49,400 –> 00:40:53,700
\nNothing else matters.
\nAnd so what would be the perfect<\/p>\n

641
\n00:40:53,700 –> 00:40:57,100
\nenvironment to develop those
\nrelationships with our brothers <\/p>\n

642
\n00:40:57,100 –> 00:40:59,900
\nand sisters to develop that
\nattitude of love? <\/p>\n

643
\n00:41:01,800 –> 00:41:03,100
\nHere it is.
\nBrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

644
\n00:41:03,100 –> 00:41:05,300
\nThis is what we have.
\nLook around you. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:41:07,100 –> 00:41:10,500
\nThe perfect Ecclesia is the
\nimperfect leisure. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:41:12,700 –> 00:41:15,200
\nBecause the imperfect Ecclesia
\ngives opportunity. <\/p>\n

647
\n00:41:16,400 –> 00:41:20,300
\nFor courage to develop, when
\nfear is there for love to <\/p>\n

648
\n00:41:20,300 –> 00:41:25,200
\ndevelop when hate and anger, is
\nthere for self-control when <\/p>\n

649
\n00:41:25,200 –> 00:41:28,600
\nannoyances there, the imperfect
\nEcclesia. <\/p>\n

650
\n00:41:28,700 –> 00:41:31,700
\nRubs the natural man in us up
\nthe wrong way, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n

651
\n00:41:32,100 –> 00:41:34,200
\nAnd gives us opportunity to
\novercome it. <\/p>\n

652
\n00:41:35,600 –> 00:41:39,700
\nThat’s where the perfect
\nocclusion is in the imperfect <\/p>\n

653
\n00:41:39,700 –> 00:41:43,100
\nocclusion.
\nAnd here, brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:41:43,100 –> 00:41:46,300
\nWhen you look around, you here
\nby the grace of the father are <\/p>\n

655
\n00:41:46,300 –> 00:41:51,500
\nthe Saints of the coming age.
\nHere are the vessels of Honor. <\/p>\n

656
\n00:41:52,900 –> 00:41:55,700
\nBeing shaped by the hands of the
\nmaster Potter himself. <\/p>\n

657
\n00:41:56,000 –> 00:41:59,000
\nLook at your brothers and
\nsisters, see the lines of worry <\/p>\n

658
\n00:41:59,000 –> 00:42:01,200
\non their face when things are
\nstressful. <\/p>\n

659
\n00:42:02,000 –> 00:42:05,800
\nThat’s the father’s hand,
\npressing into them to shape <\/p>\n

660
\n00:42:05,800 –> 00:42:10,300
\ntheir character.
\nSee the corner of their eyes, <\/p>\n

661
\n00:42:10,300 –> 00:42:12,600
\nwhich have got lines from
\nsmiling and laughing. <\/p>\n

662
\n00:42:13,600 –> 00:42:16,500
\nThat’s the father’s hand
\nstrengthening, and squeezing the<\/p>\n

663
