\n00:00:13,800 –> 00:00:15,500
\nWelcome to good for selfie and
\ntalks. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:15,500 –> 00:00:19,200
\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n
\n00:00:19,200 –> 00:00:21,900
\nthis week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,300
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,200
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n
\n00:00:29,200 –> 00:00:30,900
\nintro.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n
\n00:00:30,900 –> 00:00:33,600
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,100
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:36,100 –> 00:00:51,600
\nThis week’s talk is an
\nexcitation by brother Ted, <\/p>\n
\n00:00:51,600 –> 00:00:53,700
\nsleeper from the San Francisco
\nPeninsula, Ecclesia. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:53,700 –> 00:00:56,900
\nThat was given on September 25th
\n2022. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:56,900 –> 00:01:01,300
\nHe gave it on Zoom to, I think a
\nAnd group of religious, which he<\/p>\n
\n00:01:01,300 –> 00:01:07,200
\nmentions at the beginning.
\nThis is a really kind of kind of<\/p>\n
\n00:01:07,200 –> 00:01:12,800
\nbroad topic is a station titled
\ntitled, True Religion, and he <\/p>\n
\n00:01:12,800 –> 00:01:16,800
\nstarts in Josiah, which I
\nbelieve was the reading ties in <\/p>\n
\n00:01:16,800 –> 00:01:20,900
\nthe Ezekiel reading and then
\nkind of bronze it out to the, to<\/p>\n
\n00:01:20,900 –> 00:01:24,100
\nthe whole of scripture.
\nIt’s, it’s really, it’s really <\/p>\n
\n00:01:24,100 –> 00:01:27,300
\nbeautiful talk.
\nHe is, he’s very passionate and <\/p>\n
\n00:01:27,300 –> 00:01:29,800
\nyou’ll hear it.
\nHe’s kind of weaving in. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:29,900 –> 00:01:35,000
\nA lot of things that get down to
\nthe core of that, we can’t kind <\/p>\n
\n00:01:35,000 –> 00:01:39,200
\nof litigate or totally
\nstructure, our faith or our <\/p>\n
\n00:01:39,200 –> 00:01:43,000
\nfocus, it has to come from our
\nhearts and he repeats that <\/p>\n
\n00:01:43,008 –> 00:01:46,400
\nmessage over and over.
\nAnd I found it, very useful, <\/p>\n
\n00:01:46,400 –> 00:01:49,000
\nvery easy to listen to very
\naccessible. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:49,000 –> 00:01:51,700
\nSo I’m very thankful to the
\nsister, that suggested this <\/p>\n
\n00:01:51,708 –> 00:01:55,900
\ntalk, and I’m very happy to
\nshare it on the podcast now. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:55,900 –> 00:01:59,700
\nSo again, this was a suggestion,
\nplease do keep sending in your <\/p>\n
\n00:02:00,000 –> 00:02:05,500
\nSince we we were very thankful
\nfor them and so here is brother.<\/p>\n
\n00:02:05,500 –> 00:02:08,800
\nTed sleeper on True Religion,
\nwell, good morning, brothers and<\/p>\n
\n00:02:08,800 –> 00:02:11,000
\nsisters and to all that are
\nhere. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:11,000 –> 00:02:16,100
\nThis morning there are 46
\nscreens, that’s wonderful. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:16,200 –> 00:02:20,700
\nThere’s lots of us here from
\nvarious Ecclesia as being able <\/p>\n
\n00:02:20,700 –> 00:02:25,700
\nto come together.
\nThe reading that we had in <\/p>\n
\n00:02:26,200 –> 00:02:31,200
\nEzekiel and I was matching it a
\nbit with the one from Jeremiah <\/p>\n
\n00:02:31,700 –> 00:02:36,300
\nWas, it was size up.
\nWhat was going on at this time? <\/p>\n
\n00:02:37,500 –> 00:02:42,700
\nThis was the end.
\nFor what was left in the land of<\/p>\n
\n00:02:42,700 –> 00:02:46,100
\nJudah, it was the end of the
\nnation. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:46,500 –> 00:02:52,800
\nThe people had utterly corrupted
\nthemselves in the ways that God <\/p>\n
\n00:02:52,800 –> 00:02:59,800
\nhad sought to lead them.
\nAnd so the end was about to <\/p>\n
\n00:02:59,800 –> 00:03:05,600
\narrive.
\nWhat is astonishing about this? <\/p>\n
\n00:03:06,000 –> 00:03:12,700
\nThis is done in the time that
\nbegan with Josiah and, of <\/p>\n
\n00:03:12,700 –> 00:03:15,500
\ncourse, ends with his last son.
\nZachariah. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:15,800 –> 00:03:20,200
\nSo it’s just sort of the, the
\nfather and his sons. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:20,200 –> 00:03:24,100
\nIt’s during this period of time
\nthat this end was reach. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:24,100 –> 00:03:27,900
\nI just want to remind you for a
\nmoment about Josiah. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:28,000 –> 00:03:31,500
\nThis is The Godly Josiah that
\nwe’re talking about. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:31,500 –> 00:03:35,900
\nGE is the And that came in after
\nhis father of Manasseh had <\/p>\n
\n00:03:36,000 –> 00:03:44,000
\nbrought all kinds of idolatry
\nand horrific ways of worshipping<\/p>\n
\n00:03:44,000 –> 00:03:48,300
\nfalse gods into the land.
\nAmong the people, Josiah is the <\/p>\n
\n00:03:48,300 –> 00:03:51,000
\none who literally went through
\nthe land. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:51,200 –> 00:03:56,000
\nHe burned to ashes all of the
\nvarious gods and images. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:56,000 –> 00:04:01,100
\nHe ground them to powder.
\nHe literally obliterated what <\/p>\n
\n00:04:01,100 –> 00:04:05,500
\nmanasa had?
\nGot into the land and then not <\/p>\n
\n00:04:05,500 –> 00:04:08,400
\nonly that.
\nBut we read this in second <\/p>\n
\n00:04:08,400 –> 00:04:09,800
\ncrime, you don’t need to turn to
\nthis. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:09,800 –> 00:04:12,600
\nLet me just read this one.
\nVerse from second Chronicles <\/p>\n
\n00:04:12,600 –> 00:04:18,600
\nchapter, 34 Verse 33.
\nHe says, thus Josiah removed all<\/p>\n
\n00:04:18,600 –> 00:04:22,900
\nthe Abominations from all the
\ncountry that belong to the <\/p>\n
\n00:04:22,900 –> 00:04:25,100
\nchildren of Israel.
\nSo not just in, Jude in the <\/p>\n
\n00:04:25,100 –> 00:04:28,800
\nSouth, he swept through the
\nwhole land to cleanse it. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:29,600 –> 00:04:35,100
\nAnd they’d all who are listen
\ncarefully this, he made all who <\/p>\n
\n00:04:35,100 –> 00:04:40,200
\nwere present at Israel,
\ndiligently serve the Lord, their<\/p>\n
\n00:04:40,200 –> 00:04:46,500
\nGod, all his days, they did not
\ndepart from following the Lord <\/p>\n
\n00:04:46,500 –> 00:04:53,500
\nGod of their fathers.
\nThat was The Godly King Josiah <\/p>\n
\n00:04:53,500 –> 00:04:55,800
\nand what he had done in the
\nland. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:57,400 –> 00:05:03,900
\nBut in the days of Jeremiah, the
\nprophet who is one of the sons <\/p>\n
\n00:05:03,900 –> 00:05:08,500
\nof the good high priest hilkiah,
\nthat that helped to lead the <\/p>\n
\n00:05:08,500 –> 00:05:13,500
\npeople in the days of Josiah,
\nand he was probably the grandson<\/p>\n
\n00:05:13,700 –> 00:05:18,300
\nof huldah, the prophetess.
\nSo, this was a young man who had<\/p>\n
\n00:05:18,300 –> 00:05:24,500
\ncome through a very powerful and
\ngodly lineage. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:26,200 –> 00:05:31,300
\nIt was in that days of Jeremiah
\nthat God revealed a very <\/p>\n
\n00:05:31,300 –> 00:05:35,800
\ndifferent outcome to Josiah’s
\nreformation. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:36,100 –> 00:05:40,600
\nAnd if you have, if you can just
\nkind of open up to Jeremiah just<\/p>\n
\n00:05:40,600 –> 00:05:44,800
\nfor a second, we’ll pick this
\npick up some of those verses <\/p>\n
\n00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:49,400
\nthat we had read this morning
\nthat are reflected later on in <\/p>\n
\n00:05:49,400 –> 00:05:53,600
\nEzekiel and what he had to say
\nin. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:55,000 –> 00:06:01,300
\nVerse verse 3 of Jeremiah 7.
\nWe read that Les says the Lord <\/p>\n
\n00:06:01,300 –> 00:06:04,600
\nof hosts, the god of Israel
\namend, your ways and your <\/p>\n
\n00:06:04,600 –> 00:06:07,600
\ndoings, and I will cause you to
\ndwell in this place. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:08,100 –> 00:06:11,700
\nDo not trust in these lying
\nwords. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:12,100 –> 00:06:16,400
\nThe Temple of the Lord, the
\nTemple of the Lord are these. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:16,700 –> 00:06:20,200
\nKeep some of these things that
\nI’m emphasizing in your mind? <\/p>\n
\n00:06:21,100 –> 00:06:24,500
\nFor, if you thoroughly amend
\nyour ways and your doings, if <\/p>\n
\n00:06:24,500 –> 00:06:28,400
\nyou thoroughly execute judgment
\nbetween a man and his neighbor. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:28,400 –> 00:06:32,400
\nIf you do not oppress, the
\nstranger, the fatherless, the <\/p>\n
\n00:06:32,400 –> 00:06:37,300
\nWidow and do not shed innocent
\nblood in this place which is <\/p>\n
\n00:06:37,300 –> 00:06:39,300
\nwhat they did.
\nWhen they offered up their <\/p>\n
\n00:06:39,300 –> 00:06:46,800
\nchildren to bail and burned them
\nin the fire or walk after other <\/p>\n
\n00:06:46,800 –> 00:06:50,500
\ngods to your hurt.
\nThen I will cause you to dwell <\/p>\n
\n00:06:50,500 –> 00:06:54,400
\nin this Place in the land that I
\ngave to your father’s forever <\/p>\n
\n00:06:54,400 –> 00:07:00,400
\nand ever behold.
\nYou trust in lying Words that <\/p>\n
\n00:07:00,400 –> 00:07:04,600
\ncannot profit, will you steal
\nmurder? <\/p>\n
\n00:07:04,800 –> 00:07:09,500
\nCommit, adultery swear, falsely
\nburn incense to Baal and walk. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:09,500 –> 00:07:11,900
\nAfter other gods, whom you do
\nnot know. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:11,900 –> 00:07:16,600
\nAnd then come and stand before
\nme in this house, which is <\/p>\n
\n00:07:16,600 –> 00:07:20,300
\ncalled by my name and say we are
\ndelivered to do all these <\/p>\n
\n00:07:20,300 –> 00:07:23,100
\nAbominations.
\nA nation’s and looking down at <\/p>\n
\n00:07:23,100 –> 00:07:28,600
\nverse 17 and 18 and 19, he says,
\ndo not see what they do in the <\/p>\n
\n00:07:28,600 –> 00:07:32,200
\ncities of Judah and the streets
\nof Jerusalem, the children <\/p>\n
\n00:07:32,200 –> 00:07:35,300
\ngather wood in the father’s
\nKindle, the fire and the women <\/p>\n
\n00:07:35,300 –> 00:07:38,800
\nneed their dope.
\nThey Kate but the Queen of <\/p>\n
\n00:07:38,800 –> 00:07:42,400
\nHeaven.
\nAnd they pour out drink <\/p>\n
\n00:07:42,400 –> 00:07:46,200
\nofferings to other gods that
\nthey may provoke me to anger. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:47,100 –> 00:07:50,600
\nDo they provoke me to anger
\nSizzle, or do they not provoked <\/p>\n
\n00:07:50,600 –> 00:07:54,200
\nthemselves to the shame of their
\nown faces? <\/p>\n
\n00:07:56,900 –> 00:08:00,800
\nI guess to sum it up in a very
\nsimple way. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:02,100 –> 00:08:07,500
\nThe reforms, the incredible
\nreforms of Josiah. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:09,000 –> 00:08:11,500
\nDidn’t last long after his
\ndeath. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:12,800 –> 00:08:17,100
\nAnd it ended up and what we were
\nreading in Ezekiel 21. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:17,200 –> 00:08:22,200
\nThe end had arrived the days of
\nZachariah and the Babylonians <\/p>\n
\n00:08:22,200 –> 00:08:25,400
\nwere coming in to sweep them.
\nAlphabet out of the land. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:25,400 –> 00:08:29,200
\nNow, in a very far more
\npermanent way to leave the land <\/p>\n
\n00:08:29,200 –> 00:08:34,500
\ndesolate for 70 years.
\nI want you just to think about <\/p>\n
\n00:08:34,500 –> 00:08:40,600
\nthat reform of Josiah.
\nHe did everything you would <\/p>\n
\n00:08:40,600 –> 00:08:44,400
\nthink was right?
\nHe got rid of all the bad stuff <\/p>\n
\n00:08:45,000 –> 00:08:49,800
\nand he reinstituted they worship
\nin the temple in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:50,000 –> 00:08:56,000
\nThat was the place that they
\nwere to come and yet for all of <\/p>\n
\n00:08:56,000 –> 00:09:00,000
\nthat Reformation of the external
\nsurface. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:01,600 –> 00:09:07,800
\nThe problem was, if Reformation
\ndoesn’t start from within it can<\/p>\n
\n00:09:07,800 –> 00:09:13,400
\nnever last.
\nEven when the forms are put, <\/p>\n
\n00:09:13,400 –> 00:09:17,500
\nright?
\nAnd all the institutions are <\/p>\n
\n00:09:17,500 –> 00:09:23,100
\nsupposedly set up. that this
\ndon’t seem to to work in the way<\/p>\n
\n00:09:23,100 –> 00:09:26,900
\nthey’re supposed to, and that’s
\nthe problem with Reformation <\/p>\n
\n00:09:27,600 –> 00:09:33,100
\nwhen Reformation addresses, the
\nexternal forms and institutions,<\/p>\n
\n00:09:34,200 –> 00:09:38,400
\nIt’s it’s as if they’re focusing
\nin the wrong place because the <\/p>\n
\n00:09:38,400 –> 00:09:45,900
\nproblem isn’t the institutions.
\nThe problem is It within the <\/p>\n
\n00:09:45,900 –> 00:09:49,900
\npeople, that’s where the defects
\nwere within the people. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:51,700 –> 00:09:57,600
\nSo if you just go back to
\nchapter 4 of Jeremiah verses 3 <\/p>\n
\n00:09:57,600 –> 00:10:02,100
\nand 4, we read these verses thus
\nsays the Lord to the men of <\/p>\n
\n00:10:02,100 –> 00:10:07,300
\nJudah and Jerusalem break up the
\nfallow ground and do not so <\/p>\n
\n00:10:07,300 –> 00:10:13,000
\namong Thorns, circumcise
\nyourselves to the Lord and take <\/p>\n
\n00:10:13,000 –> 00:10:15,600
\naway the foreskins of your
\nhearts. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:15,900 –> 00:10:21,600
\nYou men of Judah and inhabitants
\nof Jerusalem, So that was the <\/p>\n
\n00:10:21,600 –> 00:10:29,500
\nproblem real reformation and
\nreal religion begins in the <\/p>\n
\n00:10:29,500 –> 00:10:32,900
\nheart.
\nAnd when the heart is put, <\/p>\n
\n00:10:32,900 –> 00:10:36,100
\nright?
\nThat’s when good and right <\/p>\n
\n00:10:36,100 –> 00:10:40,900
\nBehavior will flow from that
\npart into the world around you <\/p>\n
\n00:10:40,900 –> 00:10:46,000
\ninto into the Ecclesia, into the
\ncommunity here in the times of <\/p>\n
\n00:10:46,600 –> 00:10:52,500
\nJeremiah.
\nAnd this is the time when things<\/p>\n
\n00:10:52,500 –> 00:10:56,300
\nwould been improved and become
\ndifferent. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:57,200 –> 00:11:02,700
\nAnd this is why the Reformation
\nthat God promised is people <\/p>\n
\n00:11:03,000 –> 00:11:09,900
\npromise to carry out was going
\nto be so dramatically different.<\/p>\n
\n00:11:11,200 –> 00:11:14,200
\nI want you to turn with me to
\nJeremiah 31. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:14,200 –> 00:11:17,200
\nI want you to look at this
\npassage of scripture. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:18,300 –> 00:11:23,300
\nThis is where God’s Reformation
\nis being proclaimed. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:23,800 –> 00:11:31,900
\nSo, in Jeremiah 31.
\nBeginning at verse 31, We read <\/p>\n
\n00:11:31,900 –> 00:11:35,900
\nthis.
\nBehold the days are coming, says<\/p>\n
\n00:11:35,900 –> 00:11:40,000
\nthe Lord.
\nThe days are coming when I will <\/p>\n
\n00:11:40,000 –> 00:11:43,900
\nmake a New Covenant with the
\nhouse of Israel. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:43,900 –> 00:11:47,800
\nAnd with the house of Judah, not
\naccording to the Covenant that I<\/p>\n
\n00:11:47,800 –> 00:11:51,700
\nmade with their fathers in the
\nday that I took them by the <\/p>\n
\n00:11:51,700 –> 00:11:54,300
\nhand, to bring them out of the
\nland of Egypt. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:54,300 –> 00:11:59,300
\nWe know that as the Mosaic
\nCovenant, my Covenant, which <\/p>\n
\n00:11:59,300 –> 00:12:02,800
\nthey broke though.
\nI was a husband to them, says <\/p>\n
\n00:12:02,800 –> 00:12:06,400
\nthe Lord.
\nBut this is the Covenant that I <\/p>\n
\n00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:10,800
\nwill make.
\nBut I will make after those <\/p>\n
\n00:12:10,800 –> 00:12:21,300
\ndays, says the Lord, I will put
\nmy law in their minds and write <\/p>\n
\n00:12:21,300 –> 00:12:29,200
\nit on their hearts.
\nAnd I will be their God and they<\/p>\n
\n00:12:29,400 –> 00:12:35,000
\nshall be my people and no more.
\nListen to this. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:35,000 –> 00:12:39,100
\nNo more shall every man teaches
\nher and every man, his brother <\/p>\n
\n00:12:39,100 –> 00:12:47,100
\nsaying know the Lord for they
\nall shall know me from the least<\/p>\n
\n00:12:47,100 –> 00:12:51,300
\nof them to the greatest of them.
\nSays the Lord for I will forgive<\/p>\n
\n00:12:51,300 –> 00:12:56,100
\ntheir iniquity and their sin.
\nI will remember no more. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:59,500 –> 00:13:03,800
\nYou see what God is saying?
\nAnd hit the New Covenant. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:04,800 –> 00:13:09,000
\nIs what he is always wanted.
\nIn terms of a religion, he <\/p>\n
\n00:13:09,000 –> 00:13:11,800
\ndidn’t want the profession of
\nlips from us. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:12,600 –> 00:13:15,500
\nThat’s not what he’d look for
\nwhat he was looking for. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:15,500 –> 00:13:20,400
\nWas a confession that flowed out
\nof our heart of people who <\/p>\n
\n00:13:20,400 –> 00:13:25,600
\nactually knew their, God didn’t
\njust know things about their <\/p>\n
\n00:13:25,600 –> 00:13:28,800
\nGod.
\nBut here’s the problem. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:30,400 –> 00:13:36,000
\nHow would all those?
\nEmbraced by this new covenant. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:37,100 –> 00:13:44,500
\ncome to know their God, so well,
\nHow is God going to take what he<\/p>\n
\n00:13:44,500 –> 00:13:49,900
\nonce wrote with his fingers?
\nRemember on the stones and gave <\/p>\n
\n00:13:49,900 –> 00:13:52,200
\nthem to Moses in the first
\nCovenant? <\/p>\n
\n00:13:52,300 –> 00:13:57,500
\nHow was God going to instead of
\nwriting it on Stone? <\/p>\n
\n00:13:58,100 –> 00:14:03,600
\nWrite it on their hearts.
\nThis is what we need to consider<\/p>\n
\n00:14:03,600 –> 00:14:05,200
\nthis morning, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:05,200 –> 00:14:11,100
\nThis is the, the critical
\nexcitation. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:11,100 –> 00:14:13,900
\nIf you like that, we want to
\nthink about this morning, <\/p>\n
\n00:14:14,700 –> 00:14:20,600
\nbecause we in Christ Jesus have
\nbeen brought into this new <\/p>\n
\n00:14:20,600 –> 00:14:24,600
\ncovenant.
\nAnd so how is it going to work <\/p>\n
\n00:14:24,600 –> 00:14:26,600
\nout?
\nWhat is it that first of all, <\/p>\n
\n00:14:26,600 –> 00:14:31,300
\nGod needs from us for this New
\nCovenant that for what he has <\/p>\n
\n00:14:31,300 –> 00:14:35,600
\npromised to actually happen?
\nWell, it turns out there are two<\/p>\n
\n00:14:35,600 –> 00:14:40,000
\nthings that God needs for
\ninternal Reformation to take <\/p>\n
\n00:14:40,000 –> 00:14:46,600
\nplace inside of us.
\nThe first is found in Psalm 40 <\/p>\n
\n00:14:46,600 –> 00:14:50,300
\nand you can listen to this or
\nfollow along in your Bibles. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:50,300 –> 00:14:53,900
\nIt’s Psalm 40 verses 6.
\nAnd it goes like this. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:55,500 –> 00:15:00,000
\nSacrifice and offering you did
\nnot desire. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:00,100 –> 00:15:05,500
\nSee those are externals.
\nBut he says my ears, you have <\/p>\n
\n00:15:05,500 –> 00:15:11,600
\nopened burnt offering and sin
\noffering you did not require but<\/p>\n
\n00:15:11,600 –> 00:15:16,600
\nthen I said behold I come in the
\nscroll of the book it is written<\/p>\n
\n00:15:16,600 –> 00:15:24,300
\nof me.
\nI Delight to do your Will O my <\/p>\n
\n00:15:24,300 –> 00:15:29,900
\nGod and your law is within my
\nheart. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:30,600 –> 00:15:34,600
\nI Delight to do your.
\nWill you get what that’s telling<\/p>\n
\n00:15:34,600 –> 00:15:39,000
\nus what God needs is a willing
\nheart? <\/p>\n
\n00:15:39,500 –> 00:15:43,600
\nHe doesn’t want to use coercion
\nand force because that can have <\/p>\n
\n00:15:43,600 –> 00:15:46,500
\nno place in the New Covenant.
\nThat’s what happened. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:46,500 –> 00:15:52,100
\nUnder the Mosaic Covenant was
\nthis external apparatus? <\/p>\n
\n00:15:52,300 –> 00:15:57,700
\nThat was trying to transform the
\npeople but what God wanted in <\/p>\n
\n00:15:57,700 –> 00:16:00,100
\nthe New Covenant is a willing
\ndesire. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:00,200 –> 00:16:05,700
\nFire of obedience that is freely
\ngiven not forced. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:06,200 –> 00:16:10,200
\nAnd if you’d like for a moment
\nto come to the New Testament and<\/p>\n
\n00:16:10,200 –> 00:16:13,500
\ntake a look in Hebrews chapter
\n10. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:14,700 –> 00:16:17,200
\nWhere this particular verse is
\npicked up. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:17,400 –> 00:16:21,100
\nWe get this, we get this idea.
\nBrought before us Hebrews <\/p>\n
\n00:16:21,100 –> 00:16:26,200
\nchapter 10, I’m going to start
\nback in verse 1, where he says <\/p>\n
\n00:16:26,300 –> 00:16:32,500
\nfor the law having a shadow.
\nOf the good things to come, <\/p>\n
\n00:16:32,600 –> 00:16:37,200
\nwhich is what the New Covenant
\nis, and not the very image of <\/p>\n
\n00:16:37,200 –> 00:16:40,800
\nthe things can never with those
\nsame sacrifices, which they <\/p>\n
\n00:16:40,800 –> 00:16:45,400
\noffer continually yeard by year.
\nMake those who approach. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:45,500 –> 00:16:50,800
\nPerfect for then would they not
\nhave ceased to be offered? <\/p>\n
\n00:16:50,800 –> 00:16:54,300
\nWhy would you offer all of these
\nexternal sacrifices for? <\/p>\n
\n00:16:54,300 –> 00:16:59,300
\nIf the worshipper once purged if
\nthat had happened would they <\/p>\n
\n00:16:59,300 –> 00:17:03,300
\nwould Not have had more
\nconsciousness of sins, but in <\/p>\n
\n00:17:03,300 –> 00:17:08,300
\nthose sacrifices, there is a
\nreminder of sins every year for <\/p>\n
\n00:17:08,300 –> 00:17:11,900
\nit is not possible that the
\nblood of bulls and goats. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:11,900 –> 00:17:16,200
\nThese external things could take
\naway sins and therefore when he <\/p>\n
\n00:17:16,200 –> 00:17:22,000
\ncame into the world verse 5,
\nhere’s the quotation and you <\/p>\n
\n00:17:22,000 –> 00:17:26,099
\nknow he’s referring to the Lord
\nJesus Christ’s sacrifice and <\/p>\n
\n00:17:26,099 –> 00:17:29,500
\noffering you did not desire but
\na body you have prepared. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:29,700 –> 00:17:34,000
\nFor me, it burnt offerings and
\nsacrifices for sin, you had no <\/p>\n
\n00:17:34,000 –> 00:17:38,500
\npleasure.
\nThen I said, behold I come in <\/p>\n
\n00:17:38,500 –> 00:17:45,400
\nthe volume of the book it is
\nwritten of me to do your Will O <\/p>\n
\n00:17:45,400 –> 00:17:50,400
\nGod.
\nPre-release a saying sacrifice <\/p>\n
\n00:17:50,400 –> 00:17:53,100
\nand offering and burnt offerings
\nand offerings for sins. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:53,100 –> 00:17:56,500
\nYou did not desire nor had
\npleasure in them which are <\/p>\n
\n00:17:56,500 –> 00:18:03,900
\noffered according to the law.
\nThen I said, behold I come to do<\/p>\n
\n00:18:04,100 –> 00:18:09,900
\nyour Will O God.
\nAnd in that act, the first <\/p>\n
\n00:18:09,900 –> 00:18:14,300
\ncomment was being taken away and
\nthe New Covenant was being <\/p>\n
\n00:18:14,300 –> 00:18:17,800
\nbrought into Force Through the
\nLord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:18,800 –> 00:18:24,700
\nTwo at the very core of the New
\nCovenant at the very Foundation <\/p>\n
\n00:18:24,700 –> 00:18:27,800
\nof it.
\nWe have the one who is showing <\/p>\n
\n00:18:27,800 –> 00:18:34,300
\nus exactly what God wanted and
\nwhich is a willing heart and a <\/p>\n
\n00:18:34,300 –> 00:18:40,100
\nwilling desire to obey God in
\nall things but that’s only half <\/p>\n
\n00:18:40,200 –> 00:18:45,000
\nof what God needs to complete
\nhis Reformation within all of <\/p>\n
\n00:18:45,000 –> 00:18:49,800
\nus.
\nSo Hebrews 11:6, you know, this <\/p>\n
\n00:18:50,500 –> 00:18:54,200
\nwonderful famous passage, which
\nyou probably have memorized and <\/p>\n
\n00:18:54,200 –> 00:18:59,800
\nwe teach our young children to
\nmemorize but without faith, it <\/p>\n
\n00:18:59,800 –> 00:19:06,100
\nis impossible to please God.
\nFor he who comes to God, must <\/p>\n
\n00:19:06,100 –> 00:19:10,800
\nbelieve that he is, that he?
\nThat is he exists? <\/p>\n
\n00:19:12,800 –> 00:19:16,400
\nAnd that.
\nExcuse me. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:16,400 –> 00:19:20,000
\nI just lost my place and that he
\nis a rewarder of those who <\/p>\n
\n00:19:20,000 –> 00:19:24,000
\ndiligently seek him.
\nSo the second thing that is <\/p>\n
\n00:19:24,000 –> 00:19:28,300
\nneeded after a willing heart in
\na willing desire to obey God. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:28,300 –> 00:19:34,100
\nAnd to do what is pleasing in
\nGod’s sight, is, we have to have<\/p>\n
\n00:19:34,400 –> 00:19:42,200
\nfaith, which is not a mysterious
\nword, all it means is a <\/p>\n
\n00:19:42,200 –> 00:19:48,200
\nwillingness to trust God.
\nWith our very lives. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:49,700 –> 00:19:52,400
\nIt may not be apparent.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
\n00:19:52,900 –> 00:19:57,300
\nTrusting God Is So vital to the
\nFulfillment of This Promise of <\/p>\n
\n00:19:57,300 –> 00:20:03,500
\nthe New Covenant nor how it can
\ncontribute to knowing god. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:04,300 –> 00:20:09,900
\nBut if you bear with me I’d like
\nto Share with you what this is <\/p>\n
\n00:20:09,900 –> 00:20:15,000
\nall about and make it as plain
\nas I possibly can and of all <\/p>\n
\n00:20:15,000 –> 00:20:18,300
\nthings if you know you need to
\nturn to this, when I want you to<\/p>\n
\n00:20:18,300 –> 00:20:21,200
\ngo back to The Vedic has all
\nright. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:22,200 –> 00:20:26,500
\nGenesis Exodus Leviticus.
\nSo your third book of the, the <\/p>\n
\n00:20:27,100 –> 00:20:30,300
\nfive books of Moses that they’re
\nsometimes called. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:30,400 –> 00:20:36,500
\nLeviticus chapter 25.
\nAnd there is one small verse <\/p>\n
\n00:20:36,500 –> 00:20:41,300
\nfound in Leviticus chapter 25
\nand verse 23. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:42,300 –> 00:20:48,800
\nThat amazingly.
\nSo obscure it is this obscure <\/p>\n
\n00:20:48,800 –> 00:20:53,200
\nlittle corner in the in the law
\nof Moses opens up before us. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:53,600 –> 00:20:57,000
\nThe significance of the very
\nthings that we have just been <\/p>\n
\n00:20:57,000 –> 00:20:59,300
\nasking about in terms of the New
\nCovenant. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:59,300 –> 00:21:05,700
\nSo read this carefully with me,
\nverse 23, Free the Land shall <\/p>\n
\n00:21:05,700 –> 00:21:08,500
\nnot be sold permanently and we
\nsend her. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:08,500 –> 00:21:11,500
\nThis is God’s land.
\nThis is the one he promised all <\/p>\n
\n00:21:11,500 –> 00:21:13,000
\nof that.
\nBut listen to this. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:13,400 –> 00:21:16,800
\nThe land shall not be sold
\npermanently for the land is <\/p>\n
\n00:21:16,800 –> 00:21:18,700
\nmine.
\nOkay? <\/p>\n
\n00:21:19,500 –> 00:21:26,300
\nFor you.
\nAre strangers and sojourners. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:27,400 –> 00:21:36,100
\nWith me.
\nDid you hear what he just said? <\/p>\n
\n00:21:38,500 –> 00:21:42,500
\nStrangers and sojourners, I
\nthink all of us this morning <\/p>\n
\n00:21:42,500 –> 00:21:47,100
\nunderstand what a stranger and
\nSojourner, some of us, I guess <\/p>\n
\n00:21:47,100 –> 00:21:50,000
\nfor brother James and the
\nPhilippines that was being like <\/p>\n
\n00:21:50,000 –> 00:21:55,200
\na stranger and a Sojourner for
\ncertain and it experiencing a <\/p>\n
\n00:21:55,200 –> 00:22:00,200
\nforeign land.
\nBut we understand that what it <\/p>\n
\n00:22:00,200 –> 00:22:04,200
\nmeans is a stranger and
\nSojourner, it’s a temporary way <\/p>\n
\n00:22:04,200 –> 00:22:09,200
\nof life until one finally,
\nacquires a permanent home. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:10,900 –> 00:22:16,200
\nBut he says, you’re strangers
\nand sojourners with me. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:17,600 –> 00:22:21,700
\nWhat?
\nGod. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:22,700 –> 00:22:28,300
\nA stranger and Sojourner.
\nThe implication of these words <\/p>\n
\n00:22:28,300 –> 00:22:31,900
\nbrothers and sisters are
\nabsolutely enormous. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:33,000 –> 00:22:39,700
\nHe is not too told, excuse me.
\nI guess, put simply it’s this, <\/p>\n
\n00:22:40,500 –> 00:22:44,600
\nGod is telling us even way back
\nthen. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:46,400 –> 00:22:51,200
\nThat this present World in which
\nthey live through, in, which we <\/p>\n
\n00:22:51,200 –> 00:22:53,900
\nare now.
\nLiving through this present <\/p>\n
\n00:22:53,900 –> 00:23:03,600
\nworld is not God’s world.
\nHe is a stranger and Sojourner <\/p>\n
\n00:23:04,500 –> 00:23:09,400
\nin this world.
\nNo place of it in that sense? <\/p>\n
\n00:23:09,700 –> 00:23:13,800
\nIs he belongs to him?
\nIt belongs now to man. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:15,700 –> 00:23:19,600
\nAnd what we see going on in the
\nworld today is not the <\/p>\n
\n00:23:19,600 –> 00:23:25,000
\noutworking of God’s desires.
\nIt’s the outworking of man’s <\/p>\n
\n00:23:25,000 –> 00:23:30,000
\ndesires.
\nSo, the implications of those <\/p>\n
\n00:23:30,000 –> 00:23:35,000
\nwords that we just read are
\nenormous, but there’s one more <\/p>\n
\n00:23:35,000 –> 00:23:39,700
\nlittle tiny word embedded in
\nthat what yours even more <\/p>\n
\n00:23:39,700 –> 00:23:44,900
\nsurprising because God says, you
\nare strangers and sojourners? <\/p>\n
\n00:23:46,300 –> 00:23:52,400
\nWith me.
\nYou get the point. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:53,800 –> 00:23:57,300
\nWhat I had read back in Hebrews
\n11, let me just pull that up <\/p>\n
\n00:23:57,300 –> 00:24:02,500
\nagain and Hebrews 11 and verses
\n8 through 10. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:03,300 –> 00:24:07,900
\nWe’re told that Abraham obeyed
\nwhen he was called to go out to <\/p>\n
\n00:24:07,900 –> 00:24:10,700
\nthe place which he would
\nafterward receive as an <\/p>\n
\n00:24:10,700 –> 00:24:17,100
\ninheritance and he went out, not
\nknowing where he was going by <\/p>\n
\n00:24:17,100 –> 00:24:20,400
\nfaith.
\nHe sojourned in the land of <\/p>\n
\n00:24:20,400 –> 00:24:25,300
\npromise as in a foreign country.
\nTree dwelling in tents with <\/p>\n
\n00:24:25,300 –> 00:24:27,400
\nIsaac.
\nAnd Jacob, The Heirs with him of<\/p>\n
\n00:24:27,400 –> 00:24:31,800
\nthe same promise.
\nOr he waited. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:32,800 –> 00:24:38,000
\nFor the city which has
\nfoundations whose Builder and <\/p>\n
\n00:24:38,000 –> 00:24:45,300
\nmaker is God.
\nDo you see the point of that <\/p>\n
\n00:24:45,300 –> 00:24:56,000
\nword with me?
\nGod is not kind of above or <\/p>\n
\n00:24:56,000 –> 00:25:01,200
\noutside of our experience.
\nHe has not told us in some <\/p>\n
\n00:25:01,200 –> 00:25:05,400
\ndetached way, will give up your
\ncitizenship as we do is <\/p>\n
\n00:25:05,400 –> 00:25:07,500
\nchristadelphians?
\nWhen were baptized me? <\/p>\n
\n00:25:07,700 –> 00:25:11,400
\nWe give up our ownership if you
\nlike, or any claim that we might<\/p>\n
\n00:25:11,400 –> 00:25:15,400
\nhave on this, this present age,
\nthis present world. <\/p>\n
\n00:25:15,600 –> 00:25:19,100
\nAnd now we go out and we live as
\nstrangers and sojourners to <\/p>\n
\n00:25:19,100 –> 00:25:22,300
\nuntil the king.
\nGod is set upon the Earth. <\/p>\n
\n00:25:24,400 –> 00:25:31,300
\nThat’s not what God Said.
\nRather what God has done is he <\/p>\n
\n00:25:31,300 –> 00:25:40,300
\nhas invited us.
\nTo sojourn with him, he said to <\/p>\n
\n00:25:40,300 –> 00:25:51,500
\nAbraham come, come with me. so,
\nThat is the same invitation that<\/p>\n
\n00:25:51,500 –> 00:25:59,100
\nwe have received like Abraham.
\nWe have been invited to join the<\/p>\n
\n00:25:59,100 –> 00:26:05,900
\nLiving God, the god of Heaven
\nand Earth in his sojourning. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:06,900 –> 00:26:11,600
\nUntil he establishes the
\npromised new heavens and new <\/p>\n
\n00:26:11,600 –> 00:26:15,300
\nearth, which wherein dwells
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:15,300 –> 00:26:21,500
\nAs we’re told, This is the point
\nof a well-known passage back in <\/p>\n
\n00:26:21,700 –> 00:26:24,700
\nMicah 6:8.
\nSo please turn to it because I <\/p>\n
\n00:26:24,708 –> 00:26:27,900
\nwant this.
\nSee this before your eyes as <\/p>\n
\n00:26:27,900 –> 00:26:34,500
\nwell.
\nHosea, Excuse Me, Not O. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:34,500 –> 00:26:39,800
\nSee a Micah chapter 8.
\nThere it is. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:39,800 –> 00:26:42,700
\nGot it.
\nMike said Mike, excuse me, <\/p>\n
\n00:26:42,700 –> 00:26:45,300
\nchapter 6.
\nThere is no chapter 8, Micah <\/p>\n
\n00:26:45,300 –> 00:26:50,900
\n6:8.
\nHere’s this famous verse that <\/p>\n
\n00:26:50,900 –> 00:26:54,000
\nagain.
\nI think we know well he has <\/p>\n
\n00:26:54,000 –> 00:27:00,000
\nshown you o man what is good and
\nwhat does the Lord require of <\/p>\n
\n00:27:00,000 –> 00:27:03,400
\nyou?
\nBut to do justly that is to live<\/p>\n
\n00:27:03,400 –> 00:27:07,700
\nrighteous lives following for us
\nafter the Lord Jesus Christ to <\/p>\n
\n00:27:07,700 –> 00:27:14,100
\ndo justly to love mercy and we
\nhad a beginning class on Mercy <\/p>\n
\n00:27:14,100 –> 00:27:18,400
\nin our Ecclesia couple weeks
\nback in Sunday school but it <\/p>\n
\n00:27:18,800 –> 00:27:23,200
\nEarly has to do with a strong
\ndesire to reach out, and <\/p>\n
\n00:27:23,200 –> 00:27:28,700
\nsalvation and forgiveness, to
\nour brothers and sisters hell of<\/p>\n
\n00:27:28,700 –> 00:27:33,500
\nmercy.
\nAnd finally, to walk humbly with<\/p>\n
\n00:27:33,500 –> 00:27:37,300
\nour God, or as the literal
\ntranslation would suggest who <\/p>\n
\n00:27:37,300 –> 00:27:44,100
\nhumble ourselves To walk with
\nGod. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:47,500 –> 00:27:51,500
\nI want you to think about that
\nto Humble ourselves to walk with<\/p>\n
\n00:27:51,500 –> 00:27:53,200
\nGod.
\nRemember we said this is what <\/p>\n
\n00:27:53,200 –> 00:27:55,500
\nthe what God has invited us to
\ndo. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:55,500 –> 00:27:59,200
\nAnd the New Covenant is to
\nbecome a stranger and Sojourner <\/p>\n
\n00:27:59,300 –> 00:28:05,400
\nwith him in this earth.
\nYou know, you’ve all done this <\/p>\n
\n00:28:05,400 –> 00:28:08,300
\nand let’s say with James with
\nthe big group that he <\/p>\n
\n00:28:08,300 –> 00:28:12,600
\naccompanied down to the
\nPhilippines, you know, when <\/p>\n
\n00:28:12,600 –> 00:28:15,100
\nyou’re with a big group or is he
\nsaid, with the brother, though <\/p>\n
\n00:28:15,100 –> 00:28:19,200
\nis in his room, you get to know
\npeople. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:20,400 –> 00:28:25,900
\nWhen your journey with them.
\nYou get to you, get to you, get <\/p>\n
\n00:28:25,900 –> 00:28:30,600
\nto see how they respond to
\ndifferent circumstances that you<\/p>\n
\n00:28:30,600 –> 00:28:35,200
\nmay encounter together.
\nYou see how that other person <\/p>\n
\n00:28:35,200 –> 00:28:39,500
\nacts and in certain ways you
\nbecome familiar with their ways.<\/p>\n
\n00:28:39,500 –> 00:28:43,400
\nAnd so James, I guess at some
\nlevel God, hey, you’re listening<\/p>\n
\n00:28:43,400 –> 00:28:47,200
\nto the music and it’s I’m not
\nthe music that the talks that <\/p>\n
\n00:28:47,300 –> 00:28:52,500
\nthe brother was listening to But
\neven more than that. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:54,000 –> 00:29:00,100
\nYou are sharing together.
\nThink about this, you are <\/p>\n
\n00:29:00,100 –> 00:29:08,500
\nsharing together in a common set
\nof experiences a common life <\/p>\n
\n00:29:08,500 –> 00:29:13,900
\ntogether when you are together
\nwith another person. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:15,700 –> 00:29:17,700
\nThink about that brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:18,800 –> 00:29:23,800
\nIn sojourning and being invited
\ninto what we have in Christ <\/p>\n
\n00:29:23,800 –> 00:29:30,100
\nJesus, we have been invited to
\nsojourn with God. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:31,000 –> 00:29:35,800
\nThat means we are sharing in his
\nlife. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:36,900 –> 00:29:45,100
\nAnd he is sharing in our lives.
\nThis is a v extraordinary <\/p>\n
\n00:29:45,100 –> 00:29:48,500
\nmessage, and you can just listen
\nto this passage, if you like <\/p>\n
\n00:29:48,600 –> 00:29:53,100
\nfrom Isaiah 63, and it’s in
\nverses 89. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:53,100 –> 00:29:58,400
\nIf you want to write this down,
\nhe says, surely they are my <\/p>\n
\n00:29:58,400 –> 00:30:02,100
\npeople children, who will not
\nlie, and so he became their <\/p>\n
\n00:30:02,100 –> 00:30:06,400
\nsavior.
\nAnd then he goes on to say and <\/p>\n
\n00:30:06,400 –> 00:30:10,000
\nthis is going, is loving,
\nkindness towards his people in <\/p>\n
\n00:30:10,000 –> 00:30:13,500
\nall.
\nThey are affliction. <\/p>\n
\n00:30:15,200 –> 00:30:20,200
\nHe was afflicted.
\nIn other words and all that they<\/p>\n
\n00:30:20,200 –> 00:30:23,100
\nexperienced when they went
\nthrough their Wilderness <\/p>\n
\n00:30:23,100 –> 00:30:27,100
\nwandering, they came into their
\nland and all their afflictions. <\/p>\n
\n00:30:27,100 –> 00:30:31,700
\nGod says he was afflicted and
\nthe angel of his presence, saved<\/p>\n
\n00:30:31,700 –> 00:30:34,500
\nthem in his love and his in his
\npity. <\/p>\n
\n00:30:34,500 –> 00:30:40,900
\nHe redeemed them, he bore them
\nand carry them all the days of <\/p>\n
\n00:30:40,900 –> 00:30:45,500
\nold to see what kind of
\nrelationship that is describing <\/p>\n
\n00:30:46,100 –> 00:30:51,700
\nin sharing that Plum and life.
\nTogether two things are <\/p>\n
\n00:30:51,700 –> 00:31:00,400
\nhappening first but common bond
\nis being forged a relationship <\/p>\n
\n00:31:00,400 –> 00:31:03,900
\nis being built.
\nWhy do you think God called <\/p>\n
\n00:31:03,900 –> 00:31:10,600
\nAbraham his friend?
\nFriend of God. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:11,700 –> 00:31:17,500
\nFriendship is not a one-sided
\nrelationship as much as Abraham <\/p>\n
\n00:31:17,500 –> 00:31:22,900
\nhad come through his sojournings
\nto depend upon his God. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:24,300 –> 00:31:26,300
\nEven.
\nSo had God. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:27,600 –> 00:31:31,100
\nCome to depend upon his friend
\nAbraham. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:33,600 –> 00:31:38,300
\nAnd second we need to fully
\nrealize. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:40,200 –> 00:31:47,700
\nThat our life’s experiences with
\nwe walk with God are not the <\/p>\n
\n00:31:47,700 –> 00:31:51,800
\nsubject of chance.
\nOf. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:51,800 –> 00:31:57,200
\nOops, something happened.
\nGod is Meandering haphazardly <\/p>\n
\n00:31:57,200 –> 00:32:01,700
\naround?
\nThis is God’s Journey, he <\/p>\n
\n00:32:01,700 –> 00:32:06,000
\ndoesn’t wander around
\nhaphazardly and he we are with <\/p>\n
\n00:32:06,000 –> 00:32:12,800
\nhim on this journey.
\nIt means God’s path that he is <\/p>\n
\n00:32:12,800 –> 00:32:19,500
\ntaking, and we are walking along
\nwith him is deliberate. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:20,600 –> 00:32:27,800
\nAnd it is purposeful.
\nThe writer in Hebrews 12 speaks <\/p>\n
\n00:32:27,800 –> 00:32:33,800
\nof God’s discipline and training
\nthe Apostle Paul and speaking to<\/p>\n
\n00:32:33,800 –> 00:32:38,700
\nthe brethren in Ephesus, he
\nspeaks about much tribulation <\/p>\n
\n00:32:38,700 –> 00:32:42,800
\nthat is much pressure through
\nwhich we must pass to enter into<\/p>\n
\n00:32:42,800 –> 00:32:47,100
\nthe kingdom of God.
\nPerhaps, the most revealing <\/p>\n
\n00:32:47,100 –> 00:32:50,600
\npassage of all in light of, this
\nis something that we find in <\/p>\n
\n00:32:50,600 –> 00:32:53,700
\nHebrews chapter 5, and I would
\nlike you to turn there. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:54,900 –> 00:32:59,900
\nAs we begin to draw our thoughts
\ntogether about why we are all <\/p>\n
\n00:32:59,900 –> 00:33:06,300
\ntogether this morning and
\nHebrews chapter 5, we read this <\/p>\n
\n00:33:07,100 –> 00:33:12,100
\nand verse seven and eight.
\nSpeaking of the Lord, Jesus, who<\/p>\n
\n00:33:12,100 –> 00:33:17,200
\nin the days of his flesh.
\nWhen he had offered up prayers <\/p>\n
\n00:33:17,200 –> 00:33:22,500
\nand supplications with vehement
\ncries and tears. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:23,600 –> 00:33:33,700
\nTo him who was able to save him.
\nFrom death and was heard because<\/p>\n
\n00:33:33,700 –> 00:33:41,500
\nof his Godly fear, though he was
\na son, she had he learned <\/p>\n
\n00:33:41,800 –> 00:33:46,100
\nobedience.
\nBy the things, which he <\/p>\n
\n00:33:46,100 –> 00:33:53,300
\nsuffered, he learned, obedience,
\nand the word is the idea is to <\/p>\n
\n00:33:53,300 –> 00:33:59,200
\nlearn by use and practice.
\nSome has translated to acquire <\/p>\n
\n00:33:59,200 –> 00:34:05,200
\nthe habit of obedience, Jesus
\nacquired, the habit of obeying <\/p>\n
\n00:34:05,200 –> 00:34:08,600
\nhis father by the things that he
\nwent through. <\/p>\n
\n00:34:09,199 –> 00:34:13,699
\nIn other words, God was writing
\non the heart. <\/p>\n
\n00:34:13,900 –> 00:34:19,500
\nThis son.
\nThose precious qualities that he<\/p>\n
\n00:34:19,500 –> 00:34:26,500
\ndesired through the things that
\nhis son was experiencing and <\/p>\n
\n00:34:26,500 –> 00:34:33,699
\nthese experiences that Jesus
\nwent through arose because Jesus<\/p>\n
\n00:34:33,699 –> 00:34:42,000
\nwas willing to trust his father
\nand to go wherever his father. <\/p>\n
\n00:34:42,400 –> 00:34:47,800
\nLet him That’s what’s amazing.
\nAnd so brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n
\n00:34:48,699 –> 00:34:53,699
\nwhat can we learn?
\nFrom all of this, I don’t even <\/p>\n
\n00:34:53,699 –> 00:35:01,000
\nknow how to convey.
\nThe utter Wonder of our God in <\/p>\n
\n00:35:01,000 –> 00:35:06,300
\nthe New Covenant.
\nCan you see that if indeed, this<\/p>\n
\n00:35:06,300 –> 00:35:11,500
\nwas God’s Journey, that Jesus
\njoined, if he was a Sojourner <\/p>\n
\n00:35:11,500 –> 00:35:16,000
\nwith his father, then the sorrow
\nand the pain that he <\/p>\n
\n00:35:16,000 –> 00:35:21,000
\nexperienced.
\nWhilst also being have been <\/p>\n
\n00:35:21,000 –> 00:35:26,400
\nexperienced by his father, they
\nwere on the same Journey. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:29,100 –> 00:35:31,400
\nSo don’t be discouraged, my
\nbrethren. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:32,600 –> 00:35:37,300
\nDon’t be discouraged if you go
\nthrough fiery and difficult. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:37,300 –> 00:35:41,800
\nIf we encountered fiery and
\ndifficult trials in our lives. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:42,400 –> 00:35:47,100
\nIf we need our hands
\nstrengthened because they’ve <\/p>\n
\n00:35:47,100 –> 00:35:51,900
\ngrow weak in our knees.
\nNeed needs strengthening because<\/p>\n
\n00:35:51,900 –> 00:35:58,000
\nthey’ve grown feeble.
\nIf we humble ourselves under the<\/p>\n
\n00:35:58,000 –> 00:36:04,800
\nmighty hand of our God, God will
\nexalt Us in due time. <\/p>\n
\n00:36:05,500 –> 00:36:08,800
\nI want to close brothers and
\nsisters by having. <\/p>\n
\n00:36:08,800 –> 00:36:11,800
\nAll of us, look at Galatians
\nchapter 5. <\/p>\n
\n00:36:13,000 –> 00:36:18,700
\nBecause this is Preston.
\nIncredible passage Galatians <\/p>\n
\n00:36:18,700 –> 00:36:25,500
\nchapter 5 in verse 22 and 23.
\nListen to what he says. <\/p>\n
\n00:36:26,300 –> 00:36:32,100
\nBut the fruit of the spirit is
\nlove joy. <\/p>\n
\n00:36:33,500 –> 00:36:37,000
\nPeace.
\nLong suffering. <\/p>\n
\n00:36:38,300 –> 00:36:49,700
\nKindness goodness faithfulness,
\ngentleness self-control against <\/p>\n
\n00:36:49,700 –> 00:36:52,600
\nanything like this.
\nThere is no law that is needed. <\/p>\n
\n00:36:52,800 –> 00:36:58,100
\nThink about all of those
\nbehaviors and then concentrate <\/p>\n
\n00:36:58,200 –> 00:37:09,300
\non one word in verse 22.
\nBut the Fruit of the Spirit. <\/p>\n
\n00:37:10,300 –> 00:37:12,900
\nThis is the beauty of this
\nrather than sisters. <\/p>\n
\n00:37:13,300 –> 00:37:19,400
\nThe fruit is the outcome of a
\nprocess and this is the outcome <\/p>\n
\n00:37:19,400 –> 00:37:31,000
\nof God’s process in our lives.
\nTo think that this is what God <\/p>\n
\n00:37:31,000 –> 00:37:37,400
\nis seeking.
\nTo accomplish in each one of us.<\/p>\n
\n00:37:38,700 –> 00:37:46,500
\nBy our journey with him.
\nThis is the result of life that <\/p>\n
\n00:37:46,500 –> 00:37:49,700
\nis fit.
\nFor eternity. <\/p>\n
\n00:37:51,300 –> 00:37:56,300
\nAnd so may this be according to
\nGod’s grace the blessing that we<\/p>\n

\neach get to experience.
