\nthoughts of Philippians with
\nyou. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:29,800 –> 00:01:34,400
\nBefore we do that though, we
\nhave an obligation to perform. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:35,500 –> 00:01:41,100
\nwe have just recently returned
\nfrom Australia and everywhere we<\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:41,100 –> 00:01:46,400
\nwere, we were given Specific
\nInstructions by the Recording, <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:46,400 –> 00:01:51,200
\nbrother, we were in Melbourne
\nand the conference chairman <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:51,200 –> 00:01:54,900
\nasked us to convey the love of
\nall the brothers and sisters at <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:54,900 –> 00:01:58,200
\nthe conference, some, 1,200
\nrather than sisters there to <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:58,500 –> 00:02:00,300
\nyou.
\nWhen they find out, we were <\/p>\n
22
\n00:02:00,300 –> 00:02:03,500
\ngoing to be here.
\nWe went to Hobart, which is <\/p>\n
23
\n00:02:03,800 –> 00:02:05,300
\nbrother, Steven Taylor and
\nPolly. <\/p>\n

\n00:02:05,300 –> 00:02:07,800
\nTaylor’s Ecclesia, we stayed in
\ntheir home when we were in <\/p>\n
25
\n00:02:07,800 –> 00:02:10,900
\nHobart their recording brother.
\nAnd presiding brother on the <\/p>\n
26
\n00:02:10,900 –> 00:02:14,400
\nlast night, specifically asked
\nus to convey their love to the <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:14,400 –> 00:02:18,200
\nbrothers and sisters when we got
\nIdlewild, we went out to Perth <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:18,500 –> 00:02:20,500
\nand they’re recording.
\nBrother asked us to do that. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:20,500 –> 00:02:22,800
\nWe got to Adelaide, and they
\nasked us to do that. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:22,800 –> 00:02:25,000
\nWe got to Sydney and they asked
\nus to do that. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:25,000 –> 00:02:27,100
\nWe with the Newcastle and they
\nasked us to do that. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:27,100 –> 00:02:31,000
\nSo my first responsibility is to
\ngive you the love and greetings <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:31,300 –> 00:02:35,800
\nof the brothers and sisters from
\nalmost everywhere in Australia. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:39,100 –> 00:02:42,300
\nWould you like?
\nTo know a secret. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:44,300 –> 00:02:48,800
\nWould you like to know the
\nsecret of true happiness? <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:50,300 –> 00:02:55,600
\nWould you like to meet the
\nperson who will tell you the <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:55,600 –> 00:03:00,000
\nsecret of true happiness?
\nWould you like to know the one <\/p>\n
38
\n00:03:00,000 –> 00:03:04,100
\nwho told him about the secret
\nfor true happiness? <\/p>\n
39
\n00:03:05,000 –> 00:03:10,800
\nThen let’s go together.
\nTo the book that God wrote. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:03:11,900 –> 00:03:16,400
\nTwo.
\nLearn the secret of true <\/p>\n
41
\n00:03:16,400 –> 00:03:20,500
\nhappiness, because we’re going
\nto get to know the man. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:22,100 –> 00:03:24,800
\nWho will tell us the secret of
\ntrue happiness. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:25,800 –> 00:03:30,300
\nAnd the one who told him the
\nsecret and the secret is <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:30,300 –> 00:03:36,100
\nrevealed.
\nIn the book of Philippians and <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:36,100 –> 00:03:38,700
\nthe one who’s going to tell us
\nthe secret of true happiness. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:38,700 –> 00:03:44,600
\nAs our beloved Apostle, Paul,
\nand the one who told Paul The <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:44,600 –> 00:03:48,500
\nSecret of true happiness is the
\nLord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:49,500 –> 00:03:53,100
\nThis is a wonderful letter that
\nwe have to consider together <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:53,800 –> 00:03:57,400
\nthis letter to the Philippians,
\naren’t you? <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:57,400 –> 00:04:02,400
\nGlad that Paul was put in jail,
\naren’t you thrilled that they <\/p>\n
51
\n00:04:02,400 –> 00:04:04,600
\ntook Paul and imprisoned him in
\nRome? <\/p>\n
52
\n00:04:04,600 –> 00:04:10,500
\nDoesn’t that fill you with joy?
\nYou say, how can you be happy <\/p>\n
53
\n00:04:10,500 –> 00:04:18,500
\nabout a thing like that?
\nWell, I am, I’m really glad that<\/p>\n
54
\n00:04:18,500 –> 00:04:23,000
\nPaul was put in jail.
\nIf you look at the little <\/p>\n
55
\n00:04:23,000 –> 00:04:28,500
\nEpistles, which John wrote, he
\nsays, in them having many things<\/p>\n
56
\n00:04:28,500 –> 00:04:30,900
\nto write unto you.
\nI would not write with paper and<\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:30,900 –> 00:04:33,500
\nink.
\nI trust a coming to you and <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:33,500 –> 00:04:37,900
\nspeak face-to-face that our joy
\nmay be full, but John wasn’t in <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:37,900 –> 00:04:41,300
\njail.
\nSo he went to them and all the <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:41,300 –> 00:04:43,300
\nthings, we wish he would have
\ntold us. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:43,400 –> 00:04:47,700
\nI told some but he went and told
\nhim in person which was better <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:47,700 –> 00:04:50,500
\nfor them, but not so good for
\nus. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:51,100 –> 00:04:54,900
\nAnd then in this third epistle,
\nhe says, I had many things to <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:54,900 –> 00:04:59,200
\nwrite but I will not with ink
\nand Pen write unto thee, but I <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:59,200 –> 00:05:02,800
\ntrust, I shall shortly.
\nSee thee and we shall speak <\/p>\n
66
\n00:05:02,800 –> 00:05:06,500
\nface-to-face, but poor Paul can
\ndo that. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:05:06,600 –> 00:05:12,300
\nNot at this time, he’s in jail.
\nHe doesn’t even know when he’s <\/p>\n
68
\n00:05:12,300 –> 00:05:17,200
\ngoing to get out or even if he
\nis going to get out, he believes<\/p>\n
69
\n00:05:17,200 –> 00:05:22,200
\nthat he will Paul believed that
\nhe would be delivered Paul <\/p>\n
70
\n00:05:22,200 –> 00:05:27,800
\nthought positively Paul hope to
\nsee them again, but he couldn’t <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:27,800 –> 00:05:35,900
\ngo then he was chained to a
\nRoman soldier 24 hours a day, <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:35,900 –> 00:05:39,200
\nchained to a Roman soldier, not
\nthe same Soldier. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:40,000 –> 00:05:42,300
\nThe soldiers.
\nGot a relief, Paul, never got a <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:42,300 –> 00:05:44,400
\nrelief.
\nSoldiers, would come and say <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:44,400 –> 00:05:46,900
\nokay, it’s my turn unlock Paul’s
\nchange. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:46,900 –> 00:05:48,900
\nThen the next time I’d be
\nchained up to Paul and he’s got <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:48,900 –> 00:05:52,300
\na new man to be changed to.
\nBut everybody here has changed <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:52,300 –> 00:05:56,100
\nto heard about Jesus.
\nAnd so, Paul says himself in <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:56,100 –> 00:05:59,900
\nPhilippians incisions,
\nPhilippians chapter 1 and verse <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:59,900 –> 00:06:01,100
\n12.
\nHe says your things? <\/p>\n
81
\n00:06:01,100 –> 00:06:06,900
\nWhat you think are bad?
\nThere really are good. 1:12. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:06:09,200 –> 00:06:12,300
\nBut I would you should
\nunderstand Brethren that the <\/p>\n
83
\n00:06:12,300 –> 00:06:16,900
\nthings which happened unto me
\nhave happened, rather under the <\/p>\n
84
\n00:06:16,900 –> 00:06:21,700
\nfurtherance of the Gospel.
\nSo we ought to be glad that Paul<\/p>\n
85
\n00:06:21,700 –> 00:06:26,900
\nwas in jail because it was
\nworking up for the benefit of <\/p>\n
86
\n00:06:27,600 –> 00:06:31,700
\nlots of people.
\nNot necessarily Paul. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:06:32,600 –> 00:06:34,300
\nYes, it was working out for
\nPaul. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:35,300 –> 00:06:38,100
\nWell, you wouldn’t think so, if
\nyou were Paul, I don’t think I <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:38,100 –> 00:06:41,800
\nwould.
\nI mean, if I was in jail in Rome<\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:41,800 –> 00:06:44,000
\nand I hadn’t done anything,
\nwrong member, Peter says, if you<\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:44,000 –> 00:06:46,400
\ndo something wrong and you get
\npunished for it, well, you got <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:46,400 –> 00:06:48,000
\nto come.
\nYou can’t rejoice in that. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:48,000 –> 00:06:50,100
\nBut when you do everything,
\nright, and you’re punished for <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:50,100 –> 00:06:52,700
\nwell, now, you can take
\npraising, you can be thankful <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:52,700 –> 00:06:55,000
\nfor God, how can you be thankful
\nfor that? <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:55,900 –> 00:06:58,200
\nOr because he says that the
\nthings that have happened to me,<\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:58,300 –> 00:07:00,200
\nthey’re actually working out for
\ngood. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:07:01,000 –> 00:07:03,100
\nAnd he was in jail when he said
\nthat. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:07:04,000 –> 00:07:08,300
\nAnd so he really believed what
\nhe said when he wrote to the <\/p>\n
100
\n00:07:08,300 –> 00:07:14,800
\nRomans and he said that all
\nthings Not some things. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:07:16,000 –> 00:07:21,900
\nNot sometimes.
\nAll things all the time work <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:21,900 –> 00:07:26,300
\ntogether for good to for
\neverybody in the world, know, <\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:26,600 –> 00:07:31,100
\njust us.
\nJust those who are the called, <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:31,200 –> 00:07:34,900
\naccording to his purpose, only
\nto that, select group of people <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:34,900 –> 00:07:38,000
\nin this world, do all things
\nwork together for good. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:38,000 –> 00:07:41,600
\nBut do you believe it?
\nYou know, the words I haven’t <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:41,600 –> 00:07:43,900
\ntaught you anything, you don’t
\nknow, you’ve heard all that <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:43,900 –> 00:07:47,800
\nbefore our brother Larry beutel
\nin his prayer this morning. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:48,400 –> 00:07:52,600
\nPray that the words that we
\nwould hear what have an effect <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:52,600 –> 00:07:55,100
\nupon our life.
\nThat’s the key. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:55,100 –> 00:07:58,800
\nThese aren’t words to read these
\naren’t words to say, these are <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:58,800 –> 00:08:02,000
\nwords and live.
\nPaul was living out what he <\/p>\n
113
\n00:08:02,000 –> 00:08:04,100
\nsaid.
\nAll things work together for <\/p>\n
114
\n00:08:04,100 –> 00:08:07,200
\ngood to those who love God to
\nthose, who are the called. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:08:07,200 –> 00:08:10,300
\nAccording to his purpose, even
\nwhat you think are bad things <\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:10,300 –> 00:08:13,000
\nthey’re good things because
\nthey’re working out for your <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:13,000 –> 00:08:15,200
\nsalvation.
\nAnd that’s the most wonderful <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:15,200 –> 00:08:17,800
\nthing that could ever happen to
\nyou or me. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:19,100 –> 00:08:22,300
\nSo don’t worry if things aren’t
\ngoing the way you would like <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:22,300 –> 00:08:26,200
\nPaul didn’t want to be in jail,
\nhe hated it. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:27,300 –> 00:08:30,800
\nHe wanted to be out preaching.
\nHe wanted to be free to go and <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:30,800 –> 00:08:34,700
\nsee these occasions and speak to
\nthem face-to-face, like John was<\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:34,700 –> 00:08:40,400
\ndoing But you see how much
\nbenefit has come to us because <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:40,400 –> 00:08:44,100
\nthey locked up Paul.
\nWe would maybe never have had <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:44,100 –> 00:08:46,600
\nthis little letter to the
\nPhilippians. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:46,600 –> 00:08:50,700
\nIf it hadn’t been that Paul went
\nto jail. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:52,800 –> 00:08:55,600
\nThis letter is called
\nPhilippians because it was <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:55,600 –> 00:08:57,600
\nwritten to people who lived in
\nPhilippi. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:59,400 –> 00:09:03,100
\nThe city of Philippi.
\nI got his name from still up to <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:03,100 –> 00:09:06,900
\nSecond who was the father of
\nAlexander, the Great. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:08,200 –> 00:09:13,000
\nWhen Alexander the when Philip
\nthe second seized the throne it <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:13,000 –> 00:09:20,100
\nwas 359 years b.c. and Macedonia
\nthe area which he took over at <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:20,100 –> 00:09:23,900
\nthat point was just a small area
\nabout the size of the state of <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:24,100 –> 00:09:29,600
\nVermont or Maryland.
\nAnd it was a small segment of a <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:29,608 –> 00:09:35,200
\nlarge region, which we know as
\nThrace now. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:35,500 –> 00:09:40,400
\nStill up the second enlarge this
\ntown, he improved it and he <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:40,400 –> 00:09:44,300
\nnamed it after himself.
\nJust like David said, people <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:44,300 –> 00:09:46,600
\nwould do people name things
\nafter themselves. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:46,600 –> 00:09:49,900
\nThey want to be famous Philip, I
\nis gone. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:49,900 –> 00:09:51,900
\nIt’s in ruins.
\nOur brother Mansfield this <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:51,900 –> 00:09:55,700
\nmorning and his talk told us
\nabout the ruins of the city of <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:55,700 –> 00:09:59,900
\nCorinth that he’s walked in the
\nCity of Philippi is in equally <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:59,900 –> 00:10:03,200
\npoor repair.
\nEven Ephesus had switch has <\/p>\n
144
\n00:10:03,200 –> 00:10:06,800
\nglorious.
\nRuins are still ruins, but so, <\/p>\n
145
\n00:10:06,800 –> 00:10:09,200
\nso who talks about Philip II
\ntoday? <\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:09,700 –> 00:10:12,100
\nThe only reason Phillipi is
\nimportant. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:12,200 –> 00:10:15,300
\nThe only reason most of us have
\never heard of fill up high, is <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:15,300 –> 00:10:18,900
\nbecause Paul wrote a letter to
\nthem, not because of anything <\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:18,900 –> 00:10:22,100
\nthat happened there.
\nOther than what we have recorded<\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:22,100 –> 00:10:24,500
\nin our Bible.
\nFill up. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:24,500 –> 00:10:26,300
\nThe second says I want to be
\nfamous. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:26,300 –> 00:10:28,700
\nI’m going to name this.
\nCity after me, and he didn’t <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:28,700 –> 00:10:31,400
\nmake it famous at all.
\nIt was Paul really that. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:31,400 –> 00:10:36,700
\nDid it even for the world today?
\nNow, this city was situated 10 <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:36,700 –> 00:10:43,000
\nmiles from the Gulf of neapolis,
\nnorthwest of the island of face <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:43,000 –> 00:10:46,900
\nUs in the Aegean Sea.
\nPaul would have considered a <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:46,900 –> 00:10:50,400
\ncity to his nor let you know
\neverything we relate to. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:50,400 –> 00:10:53,700
\nWhat’s from us.
\nI’m talking to some of the <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:53,900 –> 00:10:56,300
\nbrothers and sisters, young
\npeople here from Detroit, and I <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:56,308 –> 00:10:59,100
\nsay you easterners, and they
\ndon’t consider themselves <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:59,100 –> 00:11:01,900
\neasterners because they say,
\nhey, we’re in the midwest. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:02,400 –> 00:11:05,900
\nWhat to us, they’re East.
\nYou see if you’re in Detroit and<\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:05,900 –> 00:11:09,300
\nyou think New York is east and I
\nasked and if you’re in New York <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:09,300 –> 00:11:13,900
\nyou think England is east and so
\nit’s all depends on where you <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:13,900 –> 00:11:16,200
\nare.
\nIs the weather thing is Or south<\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:16,200 –> 00:11:21,200
\nor east, or west to you.
\nAnd so, this area was North to <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:21,200 –> 00:11:26,400
\nPaul because he lived in Tarsus
\nwhich was south of this area two<\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:26,400 –> 00:11:33,300
\ncenturies after The city of
\nPhilippi was conquered by Philip<\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:33,300 –> 00:11:35,400
\nthe second.
\nIt was divided into four <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:35,900 –> 00:11:41,700
\npolitical districts, the area
\nand the famous Roman general <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:41,700 –> 00:11:49,000
\nAmelia’s Palace Gets the credit
\nfor the decisive Victory, near <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:49,000 –> 00:11:54,000
\nMount Olympus on the western
\nshore of the Gulf of Salonika in<\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:54,000 –> 00:11:58,800
\nthe year of 168 BC.
\nBy this time, the gold mines are<\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:58,800 –> 00:12:00,700
\nPhilip.
\nI see there was gold and there’s<\/p>\n
175
\n00:12:00,700 –> 00:12:03,900
\ngold in them, thar Hills, it
\nwas, we know and we talked about<\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:03,900 –> 00:12:06,000
\nthe Gold Rush of California and
\nthe gold. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:08,600
\nHow is all gone?
\nWhile there was gold in them, <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:08,600 –> 00:12:14,000
\nthar Hills back in Philippi and
\nPhilip dug it all out. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:14,400 –> 00:12:18,100
\nSo, This time, the city has
\ndeclined is like some of the <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:18,200 –> 00:12:21,900
\nGold Rush cities of California,
\nwhich are just ghost towns. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:22,900 –> 00:12:26,700
\nHadn’t gotten quite that bad.
\nBut it was not a very prominent <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:26,700 –> 00:12:31,300
\nCity anymore.
\nAnd then in the year, 146, BC <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:31,400 –> 00:12:35,800
\nMacedonia became one of the six
\nprovinces governed by Rome. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:36,500 –> 00:12:40,500
\nAnd, as a result of this, the
\ncity was enlarged and became <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:40,600 –> 00:12:44,500
\nmore important, again, it became
\na battle place for him. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:44,700 –> 00:12:48,600
\nImportant battle that took place
\nin 42 BC between Brutus and <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:48,600 –> 00:12:52,500
\nCassius Defenders of the Roman
\nRepublic on one side and Antony <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:52,500 –> 00:12:57,000
\nand Octavian, who were the
\nAvengers of Caesars death on the<\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:57,000 –> 00:13:00,100
\nother.
\nAfter two engagements Antony and<\/p>\n
190
\n00:13:00,100 –> 00:13:05,600
\nOctavian were victorious Brutus,
\nand Cassius were dead. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:06,600 –> 00:13:09,100
\nAfter this, it was made into a
\nRoman Colony. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:09,900 –> 00:13:14,600
\nAnthony settle some of his
\ndisbanded veterans there in 31 <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:14,600 –> 00:13:20,100
\nBC, there was a big naval battle
\nbetween Antony and Octavian and <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:20,100 –> 00:13:22,900
\na cocktail via was Victorious
\nover Anthony. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:24,000 –> 00:13:26,900
\nAnd why did Anthony leave lose
\nthe battle. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:26,900 –> 00:13:31,500
\nWell, he’d become infatuated
\nwith this beautiful Egyptian <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:31,500 –> 00:13:36,300
\nqueen who had previously been
\nthe Mistress of Julius Caesar, <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:36,300 –> 00:13:41,100
\nher name was Cleopatra,
\nrealizing the hopelessness of <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:41,100 –> 00:13:43,600
\ntheir cause, both Anthony and
\nCleopatra. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:43,800 –> 00:13:48,300
\nCommitted, suicide and Octavian,
\nbecame the sole head of the <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:48,300 –> 00:13:50,700
\nRoman Empire.
\nAs a result of this. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:50,700 –> 00:13:55,700
\nHe was crowned Caesar on August
\nof 27th and 29th, base 3. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:56,000 –> 00:13:58,400
\nAnd from, then on, he was known
\nas all gustus. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:58,900 –> 00:14:01,700
\nCaesar, I guess because he had
\nhappened in August. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:14:03,700 –> 00:14:08,100
\nPhilip.
\nI now is a Roman colony and it’s<\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:08,100 –> 00:14:12,200
\na, it’s a miniature roll.
\nIt’s a, it’s they want to do <\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:12,200 –> 00:14:14,600
\neverything that roamed in.
\nThey were like a little kid who <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:14,600 –> 00:14:17,400
\nfalls his daddy around, he wants
\nto do everything that Daddy did.<\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:17,400 –> 00:14:19,400
\nWell Philip, I look at Roman,
\nwhatever room. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:19,400 –> 00:14:22,800
\nThat’s what we do.
\nThey enjoyed all the rights and <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:22,800 –> 00:14:26,900
\nthe Privileges of Roman citizens
\nsuch as freedom from scourging, <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:28,100 –> 00:14:33,000
\nFrom arrest, except in extreme
\ncases, and the right to appeal <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:33,000 –> 00:14:35,000
\nto the emperor.
\nThis is kind of an interesting <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:35,000 –> 00:14:37,400
\nbackground.
\nThey were not supposed to do <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:37,400 –> 00:14:40,400
\nanything to a Roman like
\nscourging without a proper <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:40,400 –> 00:14:42,900
\ntrial.
\nWe’ll see later. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:42,900 –> 00:14:47,000
\nWhat happened there?
\nAnd we can see why Paul is <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:47,000 –> 00:14:50,000
\nwriting this letter in writing
\nthis letter to them. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:50,000 –> 00:14:53,500
\nMentions things in this letter
\nthat aren’t any other letter, he<\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:53,500 –> 00:14:58,600
\nwrites, look at First, Look at
\nPhilippians, 1 verse 13, He says<\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:58,600 –> 00:15:03,800
\nso that my Bonds in Christ are
\nmanifest in all the palace and <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:03,800 –> 00:15:07,800
\nin all other places.
\nNow he doesn’t mention this in <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:07,800 –> 00:15:11,800
\nany of his other letters but you
\nsee Phillip, I is a miniature. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:12,600 –> 00:15:15,200
\nAnd a lot of the people from
\nPhillip I used to live in Rome <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:15,200 –> 00:15:17,700
\nand probably some of the
\nsoldiers went back and forth. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:17,700 –> 00:15:21,300
\nSo that the people in Philip I
\nwould know the people in room <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:21,300 –> 00:15:24,900
\nand they would be familiar with
\nthe guards and the end, the end <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:24,900 –> 00:15:28,000
\nthe the palace and all of the
\nthings that are well known for <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:28,000 –> 00:15:33,300
\nexample, you any of you are here
\nfrom Oh well, say the San <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:33,300 –> 00:15:36,300
\nFrancisco area.
\nWell you’re familiar, if you’re <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:36,300 –> 00:15:38,100
\ndown here, your finger, what’s
\ngoing on up there? <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:38,100 –> 00:15:41,400
\nSome of the rest of us wouldn’t
\nbe but he they knew all about <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:41,400 –> 00:15:43,200
\nromance.
\nSo he mentions things in this <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:43,200 –> 00:15:45,600
\nchapter.
\nThat he mentions another chapter<\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:45,600 –> 00:15:51,100
\nfor Philippians verse 22.
\nAll the saints salute, you <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:52,600 –> 00:15:56,300
\nChiefly they that are of Caesars
\nhousehold. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:56,300 –> 00:15:59,500
\nSo Paul’s been busy, Paul has
\nbeen doing something besides <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:59,500 –> 00:16:04,000
\nbeing changed, huh?
\nA soldier, he’s been teaching <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:04,500 –> 00:16:07,400
\nthe people that worked for
\nCaesar, imagine working in the <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:07,400 –> 00:16:10,200
\nWhite House and VY and getting
\nall the people that work for <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:10,200 –> 00:16:12,600
\nRegan, it christadelphians or
\nnot, all of them. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:12,608 –> 00:16:15,400
\nBut some of them, that’s the
\nkind of thing except that he <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:15,400 –> 00:16:17,700
\nwouldn’t be our prisoner in the
\nwhite house, and he was a <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:17,700 –> 00:16:24,200
\nprisoner in Rome.
\nIt’s helpful for us, when we <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:24,200 –> 00:16:29,800
\nstudy this letter to recall how
\nthis little Ecclesia got his <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:29,800 –> 00:16:31,100
\nstart.
\nBecause if there were no <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:31,100 –> 00:16:33,800
\nBrethren and sisters in
\nPhilippi, they would be no <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:33,800 –> 00:16:38,400
\nletter to the Philippians.
\nSo by stirring up your pure <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:38,400 –> 00:16:41,900
\nMinds by way of remembrance, as
\nPeter tells us let’s see what we<\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:41,900 –> 00:16:45,800
\ncan learn that will help us in
\nour studies of this little book.<\/p>\n
251
\n00:16:46,100 –> 00:16:50,500
\nYou remember that, the first
\ntime he ever went there was on <\/p>\n
252
\n00:16:50,500 –> 00:16:53,900
\nhis second.
\nMissionary journey. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:16:54,800 –> 00:16:59,400
\nIt’s somewhere around the year,
\nfifty a d– now at Derby, <\/p>\n
254
\n00:16:59,500 –> 00:17:02,700
\nTimothy joins the group and then
\nwhen they get to troll us <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:03,400 –> 00:17:06,099
\nlocated on the south of what is
\nnow considered the site of <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:06,099 –> 00:17:08,599
\nancient Troy, they’re in a
\nquandary what to do. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:09,099 –> 00:17:12,200
\nThey don’t know what to do.
\nLet’s look at Acts chapter 16 <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:12,300 –> 00:17:14,700
\nbecause I think this is a
\ncondition that we sometimes get <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:14,700 –> 00:17:17,900
\nin we want to do, right?
\nBut we don’t know what to do. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:19,599 –> 00:17:24,099
\nAnd we’re going to learn today
\nwhat you do, when you don’t know<\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:24,099 –> 00:17:27,599
\nwhat to do, because you do do
\nsomething when you don’t know <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:27,599 –> 00:17:30,400
\nwhat to do.
\nBut a lot of people don’t, I <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:30,400 –> 00:17:34,100
\ndon’t know what to do.
\nSo I’ll sit out and that’s not <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:34,100 –> 00:17:37,300
\nwhat Paul did.
\nPaul didn’t know what to do. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:37,300 –> 00:17:40,600
\nHe knows he’s doing God’s work.
\nHe knows God wants to go out and<\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:40,600 –> 00:17:42,800
\npreach.
\nHe’s trying to do what God says,<\/p>\n
267
\n00:17:42,800 –> 00:17:45,800
\nbut every time he goes up
\nagainst the door shut, he goes <\/p>\n
268
\n00:17:45,800 –> 00:17:48,600
\nto another Orange Show.
\nWe lift this and we’ll see Acts <\/p>\n
269
\n00:17:48,600 –> 00:17:49,900
\nchapter.
\nYou’re 16. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:17:51,800 –> 00:17:54,900
\nVerse 6.
\nNow when they had gone through <\/p>\n
271
\n00:17:55,300 –> 00:17:59,100
\nphrygia and the region of
\ngalatia, they were forbidden by <\/p>\n
272
\n00:17:59,100 –> 00:18:01,200
\nthe Holy Spirit, to preach the
\nword in Asia. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:01,600 –> 00:18:05,300
\nThat we don’t know why we’re not
\ntold just says, God says, don’t <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:05,300 –> 00:18:08,800
\ngo there.
\nSometimes we go, where we ought <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:08,800 –> 00:18:13,200
\nnot go and do what we ought.
\nNot because we want to, I can <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:13,200 –> 00:18:17,300
\nremember a picture of our story
\nabout a lumberjack and he didn’t<\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:17,300 –> 00:18:19,200
\nlike his job and he wanted to
\nquit. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:18:19,200 –> 00:18:21,700
\nSo he comes into town one day
\nand he was out of work. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:18:21,700 –> 00:18:23,400
\nAnd Hazel.
\nWhat did you do with your job? <\/p>\n
280
\n00:18:23,400 –> 00:18:26,100
\nHe says, well I just decided I
\nwould leave it up to change. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:18:26,100 –> 00:18:28,700
\nI threw my ex up in the air as
\nthe came down on quitting. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:32,400 –> 00:18:35,700
\nThe sometimes we’re like that.
\nI mean, God is trying to guide <\/p>\n
283
\n00:18:35,700 –> 00:18:37,700
\nus and we won’t.
\nWe Do what we want. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:18:37,700 –> 00:18:41,500
\nWe’re instead of asking God,
\nwe’re telling God, and so we <\/p>\n
285
\n00:18:41,500 –> 00:18:44,200
\ntell God what we want to do, and
\nif he’s closes the door, we go, <\/p>\n
286
\n00:18:44,200 –> 00:18:46,800
\nwe jumper, right?
\nWe try to climb the kind of gate<\/p>\n
287
\n00:18:46,800 –> 00:18:51,400
\nor knock it down or something.
\nGod knows what’s best for us? <\/p>\n
288
\n00:18:51,600 –> 00:18:56,100
\nWe really don’t.
\nWe think we do was like a little<\/p>\n
289
\n00:18:56,100 –> 00:18:58,400
\nkitty, you know I want the one
\nanother piece of candy, Mom and <\/p>\n
290
\n00:18:58,400 –> 00:19:00,900
\nDaddy knows best.
\nOh no, we wanted a piece of <\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:00,900 –> 00:19:02,800
\ncandy.
\nWell you’re mean you don’t love <\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:02,800 –> 00:19:05,300
\nme if you don’t give me another
\npiece of candy, you know that <\/p>\n
293
\n00:19:05,300 –> 00:19:07,900
\nyou love them because you’re not
\ngiving Giving him another piece,<\/p>\n
294
\n00:19:07,900 –> 00:19:12,200
\nbut they don’t understand that.
\nWe’re like little kitties to God<\/p>\n
295
\n00:19:12,900 –> 00:19:16,500
\nand we need this.
\nSign up here is wonderful and I <\/p>\n
296
\n00:19:16,500 –> 00:19:19,000
\ndidn’t know they were going to
\nhave it here, but it’s the theme<\/p>\n
297
\n00:19:19,000 –> 00:19:22,900
\nof our talk today and I hope
\nthat you know where it is. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:19:22,900 –> 00:19:24,400
\nAnd I hope, you know, the rest
\nof it. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:19:24,900 –> 00:19:28,600
\nBecause if you don’t today, God
\nwilling, if you cooperate, you <\/p>\n
300
\n00:19:28,600 –> 00:19:32,200
\nwill tomorrow because it’s your
\nwhole work for tonight. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:19:33,400 –> 00:19:35,800
\nWe’re going to have homework and
\nwe can’t make you do it. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:19:35,900 –> 00:19:39,900
\nNo one can make anyone else do
\nanything, not even God. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:19:39,900 –> 00:19:42,800
\nIt will make us be good so he
\ndon’t want to be a good. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:19:42,800 –> 00:19:46,800
\nYou don’t want to do it.
\nYou don’t have to But if you <\/p>\n
305
\n00:19:46,800 –> 00:19:53,400
\nwill do it, you’ll be richer.
\nAnd more successful as a result <\/p>\n
306
\n00:19:53,900 –> 00:19:59,900
\ntrust in the Lord, with all
\nthine heart. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:20:00,100 –> 00:20:04,300
\nThat means you don’t trust in
\nyou and yourself and lean not <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:04,300 –> 00:20:09,000
\nunto thine, own understanding in
\nall, thy ways acknowledge Him, <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:09,900 –> 00:20:12,700
\nand then I’m wonderful.
\nThing happens. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:13,800 –> 00:20:17,400
\nHe will direct your paths but
\nnot, if you want to know where <\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:17,400 –> 00:20:20,300
\nyou want to go and do what you
\nwant to do, and tell God what <\/p>\n
312
\n00:20:20,300 –> 00:20:22,900
\nyou wanting to God.
\nThis is the way I’m gonna do it.<\/p>\n
313
\n00:20:23,600 –> 00:20:25,900
\nNo, in all your ways acknowledge
\nHim. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:20:26,000 –> 00:20:29,400
\nFirst, your trust in him.
\nNow we came up on my winding <\/p>\n
315
\n00:20:29,400 –> 00:20:31,900
\nMountain Road up here.
\nWhat’s the curse? <\/p>\n
316
\n00:20:31,900 –> 00:20:35,800
\nCan you imagine driving up this
\nMountain Road with somebody and <\/p>\n
317
\n00:20:35,800 –> 00:20:39,200
\nyou didn’t trust the driver?
\nAnd so every time you came to a <\/p>\n
318
\n00:20:39,208 –> 00:20:41,200
\ncurve you grown over and grab
\nthe wheel. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:20:43,100 –> 00:20:45,400
\nWell.
\nWe would all be feeling sad at <\/p>\n
320
\n00:20:45,400 –> 00:20:47,600
\nthe fact that you’re down to
\nbottom of the hill bout now. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:20:49,300 –> 00:20:52,000
\nIf you’re going to get in a car
\nwith a person, you better trust <\/p>\n
322
\n00:20:52,000 –> 00:20:54,000
\nthem.
\nIf you don’t trust them enough <\/p>\n
323
\n00:20:54,000 –> 00:20:56,400
\nto put your life in their hands
\nto ride with them, don’t live <\/p>\n
324
\n00:20:56,400 –> 00:21:01,400
\nwith them, but we do that with a
\ncar and we don’t do that with <\/p>\n
325
\n00:21:01,400 –> 00:21:04,500
\nGod.
\nTrust in the Lord, with all <\/p>\n
326
\n00:21:04,500 –> 00:21:08,300
\nthine heart, don’t lean on your
\nown understanding, in all your <\/p>\n
327
\n00:21:08,300 –> 00:21:13,000
\nways, acknowledge God and then,
\nand that’s everything in the <\/p>\n
328
\n00:21:13,000 –> 00:21:16,200
\nqualification up to that point.
\nIt’s only there that God will <\/p>\n
329
\n00:21:16,200 –> 00:21:18,900
\ndirect your paths not until you
\ndo all that. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:21:19,900 –> 00:21:23,800
\nAnd so that’s exactly what Paul
\ndid, he didn’t know what to do, <\/p>\n
331
\n00:21:23,800 –> 00:21:27,300
\nhe’s trying to go to Asia and
\nGod says no. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:21:27,300 –> 00:21:30,800
\nSo verse 7 after they were come
\nto my Sia. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:21:30,900 –> 00:21:33,300
\nThey are seated going to
\nBethesda but no he can’t go <\/p>\n
334
\n00:21:33,300 –> 00:21:35,700
\nthere.
\nSo they passed by the saying, <\/p>\n
335
\n00:21:35,700 –> 00:21:40,200
\nthey came down, a troll us.
\nPoles in the dinner he’s trying <\/p>\n
336
\n00:21:40,200 –> 00:21:42,000
\nto do God’s work and he doesn’t
\nknow what to do. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:21:43,000 –> 00:21:45,600
\nAnd if you trust in the Lord,
\nwith all your heart, you don’t <\/p>\n
338
\n00:21:45,600 –> 00:21:48,400
\nlean on your own understanding,
\nif in all your ways acknowledge <\/p>\n
339
\n00:21:48,400 –> 00:21:51,000
\nGod, then.
\nDo what happened to Paul? <\/p>\n
340
\n00:21:52,100 –> 00:21:56,800
\nNot the same way necessarily but
\nthe same thing, the god that you<\/p>\n
341
\n00:21:56,800 –> 00:22:01,800
\nand I worship is the same God
\nthat Paul worshipped and he’s <\/p>\n
342
\n00:22:01,800 –> 00:22:06,700
\njust as all-powerful and
\nall-knowing and all-loving today<\/p>\n
343
\n00:22:06,900 –> 00:22:11,200
\nas he was in those days.
\nI mean, we don’t have the gift <\/p>\n
344
\n00:22:11,200 –> 00:22:12,900
\nof the Holy Spirit, like, Paul
\ndid. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:22:12,908 –> 00:22:16,400
\nWe cannot raise the dead and
\nheal sick people. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:22:16,400 –> 00:22:20,700
\nBut that doesn’t mean that the
\ngod that we worship is any less <\/p>\n
347
\n00:22:20,700 –> 00:22:24,200
\npowerful than the god of he
\nworship, and God will direct <\/p>\n
348
\n00:22:24,200 –> 00:22:28,000
\nyour wives.
\nIf every bit as much as he <\/p>\n
349
\n00:22:28,000 –> 00:22:31,900
\ndirected Paul’s life, it isn’t
\nthat because there’s no open <\/p>\n
350
\n00:22:31,900 –> 00:22:35,900
\nVision today, therefore, we do
\nnot have God’s help in our <\/p>\n
351
\n00:22:35,900 –> 00:22:39,100
\nlives.
\nToday, you have God working in. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:22:39,600 –> 00:22:47,000
\nlife just as fervently, just as
\nreal as he worked in Paul’s, but<\/p>\n
353
\n00:22:47,000 –> 00:22:50,800
\nnot, if you don’t trust him, not
\nif you don’t believe it, not, if<\/p>\n
354
\n00:22:50,800 –> 00:22:53,200
\nyou’re trusting your own wisdom
\nand your old understanding and <\/p>\n
355
\n00:22:53,200 –> 00:22:57,000
\nyou telling God what you want,
\nYou don’t lean on your own <\/p>\n
356
\n00:22:57,000 –> 00:22:59,400
\nunderstanding.
\nYou don’t rely on your own <\/p>\n
357
\n00:22:59,400 –> 00:23:02,700
\nbrainpower.
\nYou say, God, you’re am I what <\/p>\n
358
\n00:23:02,700 –> 00:23:05,400
\ndo you want me to do?
\nBut you don’t stop now. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:23:06,700 –> 00:23:11,400
\nYou get up and you start moving,
\nyou put a little rat in a maze <\/p>\n
360
\n00:23:11,900 –> 00:23:15,000
\nand you put some cheese at the
\nother end and he goes up and he <\/p>\n
361
\n00:23:15,000 –> 00:23:17,900
\nbumps into a wall.
\nWhat is the rat do? <\/p>\n
362
\n00:23:18,400 –> 00:23:23,600
\nBut he’s just certain cries.
\nNo, he turns and he wants <\/p>\n
363
\n00:23:23,600 –> 00:23:25,800
\nanother wall.
\nNow, what does he do? <\/p>\n
364
\n00:23:26,500 –> 00:23:29,200
\nOh my goodness, I might as well
\ngive up a book to walls. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:23:30,100 –> 00:23:32,600
\nHe turns again and he finds an
\nold me, but he bumps another <\/p>\n
366
\n00:23:32,600 –> 00:23:36,500
\nwall and he goes through that
\nmaze bumping into walls and <\/p>\n
367
\n00:23:36,500 –> 00:23:38,600
\nturning and bumping into walls
\nand turning and bumping into <\/p>\n
368
\n00:23:38,600 –> 00:23:42,100
\nwalls and but he keeps moving,
\nand he gets the cheese. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:23:45,200 –> 00:23:50,800
\nNow you and I are to be active
\nin God’s service and the way we <\/p>\n
370
\n00:23:50,800 –> 00:23:54,500
\ndo it is by we get moving and we
\ndon’t always know exactly what <\/p>\n
371
\n00:23:54,500 –> 00:23:56,800
\nGod wants us to do.
\nAnd he doesn’t, we don’t always <\/p>\n
372
\n00:23:56,800 –> 00:24:00,700
\nknow where he wants us to go,
\nbut we don’t do like the <\/p>\n
373
\n00:24:00,700 –> 00:24:03,300
\nLumberjack and decide that we’re
\ngoing to do this, no matter <\/p>\n
374
\n00:24:03,300 –> 00:24:06,400
\nwhat.
\nWe ask God to open doors, and <\/p>\n
375
\n00:24:06,400 –> 00:24:08,700
\nclose doors.
\nAnd when we bump a closed-door, <\/p>\n
376
\n00:24:08,800 –> 00:24:11,400
\nwe turn.
\nAnd so that’s what happened to <\/p>\n
377
\n00:24:11,400 –> 00:24:14,900
\nPaul.
\nSo Paul receives in a night <\/p>\n
378
\n00:24:14,900 –> 00:24:20,400
\nvision, this message of a man
\nsaying come over to Macedonia, <\/p>\n
379
\n00:24:20,400 –> 00:24:23,800
\nwe need help in Macedonia,
\nthat’s where we’re ago. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:24:24,500 –> 00:24:30,900
\nAnd so what did they do?
\nWell, they went well, no. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:24:32,100 –> 00:24:36,100
\nNo, I think I think after we
\nprayed and we’ve asked God to <\/p>\n
382
\n00:24:36,100 –> 00:24:40,100
\nguide our steps, and we believe
\nwe’ve got an answer to this. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:24:40,700 –> 00:24:43,500
\nWell, let’s don’t do anything
\nfor a while, let’s sit and <\/p>\n
384
\n00:24:43,500 –> 00:24:47,600
\ncogitate on it.
\nThat’s what many of us do even <\/p>\n
385
\n00:24:47,600 –> 00:24:50,300
\nafter the door opens with the
\noh, there’s the open door. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:24:50,900 –> 00:24:53,500
\nWell, I’m kind of tired right
\nnow away to see if it’s open <\/p>\n
387
\n00:24:53,500 –> 00:24:55,900
\ntomorrow.
\nLook, look! <\/p>\n
388
\n00:24:55,900 –> 00:25:00,700
\nLook, look at verse 10 and after
\nthey had seen the vision, two <\/p>\n
389
\n00:25:00,700 –> 00:25:03,500
\nweeks later.
\nWe Never to go to Macedonia. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:25:05,300 –> 00:25:10,600
\nNo immediately right now.
\nThat’s the key right now. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:25:10,800 –> 00:25:12,400
\nKeep going.
\nKeep moving. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:25:13,300 –> 00:25:15,100
\nYou don’t always know what
\nyou’re supposed to do. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:25:15,100 –> 00:25:16,800
\nWhen you think you know get
\ngoing. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:25:16,800 –> 00:25:20,300
\nIf it turns out not to be keep
\ngoing, God, will guide your <\/p>\n
395
\n00:25:20,300 –> 00:25:25,400
\nsteps God, feeds the birds.
\nHe doesn’t put the food in their<\/p>\n
396
\n00:25:25,400 –> 00:25:27,900
\nmouth.
\nYou ever seen a little bird out <\/p>\n
397
\n00:25:27,900 –> 00:25:29,600
\nhere with somebody?
\nGently food down his little <\/p>\n
398
\n00:25:29,600 –> 00:25:31,500
\nmouth and it’s just screaming
\nand hollering. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:25:33,100 –> 00:25:35,800
\nNope, the birds got to get up
\nevery morning and look for it <\/p>\n
400
\n00:25:35,800 –> 00:25:40,300
\nbut God feeds the birds that
\nsuch truth God, guide your life <\/p>\n
401
\n00:25:40,300 –> 00:25:42,300
\nbut you gotta move, he won’t do
\nit. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:25:42,300 –> 00:25:45,300
\nIf you’re sitting down, get
\ngoing immediately, they wanted <\/p>\n
403
\n00:25:45,300 –> 00:25:49,600
\nto do God’s work and that’s one
\nof the most important lessons we<\/p>\n
404
\n00:25:49,600 –> 00:25:52,400
\ncan learn.
\nFrom today’s session is to get <\/p>\n
405
\n00:25:52,400 –> 00:25:56,500
\nmoving and try to do what God
\nwants us to do. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:25:56,700 –> 00:26:00,400
\nIf we don’t know what to do,
\ntake it to the Lord in prayer, <\/p>\n
407
\n00:26:00,700 –> 00:26:03,600
\nask him to guide your steps.
\nThen get going. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:26:03,600 –> 00:26:05,800
\nIf you hit a closed-door, then
\nturn again. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:26:05,800 –> 00:26:08,400
\nHit another close to it turning
\nit, but just keep going. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:26:09,300 –> 00:26:13,000
\nThat’s the key to service in the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:26:15,200 –> 00:26:18,200
\nOnce they knew what to do, they
\nlost no time doing it. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:26:21,000 –> 00:26:23,700
\nI think sometimes we need to
\nlearn from that. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:26:24,800 –> 00:26:29,100
\nWe sometimes we have a contact.
\nThe truth core has been in <\/p>\n
414
\n00:26:29,100 –> 00:26:33,000
\nGlendale the last two weeks and
\nwe had contacts coming out, our <\/p>\n
415
\n00:26:33,000 –> 00:26:36,700
\nears and they’ve gone out.
\nAnd they’ve seen these people <\/p>\n
416
\n00:26:37,300 –> 00:26:39,700
\nand they have interest
\ninterested, some of them, some <\/p>\n
417
\n00:26:39,700 –> 00:26:41,900
\nof them in the truth.
\nAnd now they’re going to leave <\/p>\n
418
\n00:26:41,900 –> 00:26:45,200
\nus with all these interested
\npeople, and we ought to sit down<\/p>\n
419
\n00:26:45,200 –> 00:26:51,900
\nand think about it.
\nNo, there’s a work to do, get <\/p>\n
420
\n00:26:51,900 –> 00:26:54,900
\ndoing it.
\nThere’s a time to pray and <\/p>\n
421
\n00:26:54,900 –> 00:26:59,300
\nthere’s a time to move and it’s
\na it’s remember Nehemiah they <\/p>\n
422
\n00:26:59,300 –> 00:27:04,100
\nprayed and worked.
\nThey kept their Spears in their <\/p>\n
423
\n00:27:04,100 –> 00:27:06,900
\nhand and they pray and they did
\nthe, you could have prayed and <\/p>\n
424
\n00:27:06,900 –> 00:27:09,500
\nsaid, well God, you know just
\nopen the doors and make that <\/p>\n
425
\n00:27:09,500 –> 00:27:11,400
\nmake that make the Wall, come
\nalive. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:27:11,500 –> 00:27:12,700
\nNo.
\nThey had to put each brick on <\/p>\n
427
\n00:27:12,700 –> 00:27:16,600
\none at a time.
\nGod could have gotten rid of all<\/p>\n
428
\n00:27:16,600 –> 00:27:19,200
\ntheir enemies but he doesn’t do
\nit that way. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:27:20,400 –> 00:27:22,800
\nThey had to do the work
\nthemselves and they had problems<\/p>\n
430
\n00:27:22,800 –> 00:27:26,600
\nand they had Temptations and
\nthey had dangers, but they did <\/p>\n
431
\n00:27:26,900 –> 00:27:30,200
\nthe work because that’s the way
\nwe’re supposed to. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:27:30,600 –> 00:27:33,300
\nNow Solomon gave us this advice
\nand again, this isn’t anything. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:27:33,300 –> 00:27:37,200
\nWe don’t already know.
\nIt’s not, I’m not going to teach<\/p>\n
434
\n00:27:37,200 –> 00:27:39,400
\nyou ask think hardly you don’t
\nalready know. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:27:39,900 –> 00:27:45,300
\nAll we want to do this week is
\nto get you motivated to doing <\/p>\n
436
\n00:27:45,300 –> 00:27:50,000
\nwhat you already know to do.
\nAnd there isn’t any one of us <\/p>\n
437
\n00:27:50,000 –> 00:27:56,100
\nthat can’t do more than we are.
\nThe biggest room you have in <\/p>\n
438
\n00:27:56,100 –> 00:28:01,200
\nyour house.
\nIs the room for improvement. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:28:03,900 –> 00:28:08,200
\nSo what you, what whatsoever you
\nfind to do whatsoever. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:28:08,200 –> 00:28:12,000
\nThy hand findeth to do?
\nSo it Solomon sit down and think<\/p>\n
441
\n00:28:12,000 –> 00:28:15,000
\nabout it.
\nNo. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:28:15,000 –> 00:28:17,700
\nIs this do it?
\nNo, it doesn’t say that. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:28:17,700 –> 00:28:22,000
\nIt says, do it with my might.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
444
\n00:28:22,700 –> 00:28:25,200
\nWell, because you’re not gonna
\nbe here forever. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:28:25,900 –> 00:28:28,700
\nThere’s no work nor device nor
\nknowledge nor wisdom in the <\/p>\n
446
\n00:28:28,708 –> 00:28:32,600
\ngrave whither.
\nThou goest all the people in <\/p>\n
447
\n00:28:32,600 –> 00:28:37,000
\nPhilippi, are gone.
\nAll the people in, Corinth are <\/p>\n
448
\n00:28:37,000 –> 00:28:39,500
\ngone, all the people in Ephesus
\nare gone. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:28:40,700 –> 00:28:42,700
\nAll the people in Leia to see
\nus. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:28:44,000 –> 00:28:50,000
\nOur God and some of them are
\ngoing to in the final analysis. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:28:51,200 –> 00:28:56,400
\nBe gone.
\nForever now because they <\/p>\n
452
\n00:28:56,500 –> 00:28:59,900
\ncouldn’t have been saved now
\nbecause God didn’t want them to <\/p>\n
453
\n00:28:59,900 –> 00:29:02,800
\nbe saved now because Jesus
\ndidn’t die so they could be <\/p>\n
454
\n00:29:02,800 –> 00:29:06,900
\nsaved.
\nJust because We’re going to <\/p>\n
455
\n00:29:06,908 –> 00:29:11,700
\nlearn from the book of
\nPhilippians that most people are<\/p>\n
456
\n00:29:11,700 –> 00:29:16,500
\ntoo wrapped up in their own
\nlittle world and they have no <\/p>\n
457
\n00:29:16,500 –> 00:29:20,600
\ntime for God.
\nAnd that in his class this <\/p>\n
458
\n00:29:20,600 –> 00:29:23,400
\nmorning, he quoted the problems
\nof Sodom and Gomorrah. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:29:23,600 –> 00:29:26,400
\nAll the terrible things they did
\nin Sodom and Gomorrah, he told <\/p>\n
460
\n00:29:26,400 –> 00:29:27,700
\nus about them.
\nAnd you think? <\/p>\n
461
\n00:29:27,700 –> 00:29:29,500
\nOh, no, tell me about the, oh,
\nthat’s terrible. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:29:30,400 –> 00:29:32,300
\nHe doesn’t mention any of the
\nsexual immorality. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:29:32,300 –> 00:29:33,600
\nThat went on there.
\nHe says, they ate they drank. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:29:33,600 –> 00:29:35,300
\nThey bought they sold.
\nThey do, they plan it. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:29:35,800 –> 00:29:37,800
\nAnd he Miniature putter.
\nThose are not, there’s nothing <\/p>\n
466
\n00:29:37,800 –> 00:29:40,000
\nwrong with those things.
\nOh yes, there is. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:29:40,100 –> 00:29:43,000
\nIf that’s all you do.
\nThere’s something terrible wrong<\/p>\n
468
\n00:29:43,000 –> 00:29:44,900
\nwith those things because
\nthey’re crowding. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:29:44,900 –> 00:29:48,200
\nGod, let out of your life.
\nThat’s what’s wrong. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:29:49,200 –> 00:29:51,400
\nAny one of those by themselves
\nis not wrong? <\/p>\n
471
\n00:29:51,500 –> 00:29:53,200
\nThis is water.
\nThis is no sin. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:29:55,400 –> 00:30:02,800
\nBut it’s not.
\nIt’s a sin, it’s not the thing. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:30:03,300 –> 00:30:06,400
\nIt’s what we think about it.
\nAnd what we love and what we <\/p>\n
474
\n00:30:06,400 –> 00:30:12,000
\nspend our time in, and what we
\nwhat we engage Our Lives is so <\/p>\n
475
\n00:30:12,000 –> 00:30:13,300
\nwhat you are?
\nYou find to do? <\/p>\n
476
\n00:30:13,300 –> 00:30:19,100
\nHe says, do it with all your
\nmight Now, at this point, going <\/p>\n
477
\n00:30:19,100 –> 00:30:22,600
\nback to acts 16, we have Luke
\njoining the party and it’s a <\/p>\n
478
\n00:30:22,608 –> 00:30:25,900
\nmarvelous thing how Luke comes
\nin and out all the party. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:30:25,900 –> 00:30:28,300
\nYou can always tell when Lux
\nwith them and when he isn’t, I’m<\/p>\n
480
\n00:30:28,300 –> 00:30:31,100
\nsure you already know this.
\nBut you tell by the veins and <\/p>\n
481
\n00:30:31,100 –> 00:30:34,600
\nthe Wiis, when they went hair
\nand they did this, then looks <\/p>\n
482
\n00:30:34,600 –> 00:30:36,800
\nnot along.
\nThen when it says we win here <\/p>\n
483
\n00:30:36,800 –> 00:30:39,400
\nand we did that, then Lux with
\nthem and they. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:30:39,400 –> 00:30:42,000
\nSo Luke was it with them.
\nThen Luke comes to Phillip, I <\/p>\n
485
\n00:30:42,000 –> 00:30:44,400
\nwith them and we’ll see that
\nwhen they left Phillipi, Luke <\/p>\n
486
\n00:30:44,400 –> 00:30:47,200
\nstayed there.
\nAnd so, they went on to <\/p>\n
487
\n00:30:47,208 –> 00:30:50,400
\nthessalonica.
\nHe didn’t go because he was <\/p>\n
488
\n00:30:50,600 –> 00:30:54,500
\ncommissioned by Paul to continue
\nto help this little Ecclesia <\/p>\n
489
\n00:30:54,500 –> 00:30:59,500
\nthat was started there.
\nSo, we have a little company now<\/p>\n
490
\n00:31:00,800 –> 00:31:07,900
\nof Paul and Silas, and Timothy,
\nand Luke, and they’re all eager <\/p>\n
491
\n00:31:08,000 –> 00:31:12,700
\nto go into Macedonia.
\nAnd to preach the gospel, Are <\/p>\n
492
\n00:31:12,700 –> 00:31:17,100
\nyou eager to preach the gospel?
\nI mean it’s just something you <\/p>\n
493
\n00:31:17,100 –> 00:31:23,100
\nreally want to do.
\nYou is get your meat to do God’s<\/p>\n
494
\n00:31:23,100 –> 00:31:25,600
\nwork.
\nDoes everybody? <\/p>\n
495
\n00:31:26,300 –> 00:31:30,600
\nEverybody that knows you do they
\nknow your christadelphians? <\/p>\n
496
\n00:31:32,700 –> 00:31:38,600
\nI worked with a man once who I
\nknew a man once and I happened <\/p>\n
497
\n00:31:38,600 –> 00:31:40,100
\nto mention to another
\nbusinessman. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:31:41,500 –> 00:31:45,000
\nThat he mentioned this person’s
\nname and I said oh you know him <\/p>\n
499
\n00:31:45,000 –> 00:31:48,800
\nI know he’s a christadelphians
\nhe says he’s the what I said, <\/p>\n
500
\n00:31:48,800 –> 00:31:50,900
\nhe’s a christadelphians
\nMcChrystal, he’s Chris Duncan. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:31:51,300 –> 00:31:55,200
\nHe’s he’s a that’s a church.
\nI said yeah he’s you mean he <\/p>\n
502
\n00:31:55,200 –> 00:32:00,500
\ngoes to church Here was a
\nchristadelphians, it was so <\/p>\n
503
\n00:32:00,500 –> 00:32:03,600
\nclever and hiding his light
\nunder the bushel basket. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:32:03,600 –> 00:32:07,000
\nThat nobody knew he went to any
\nchurch will look <\/p>\n
505
\n00:32:07,000 –> 00:32:13,400
\nchristadelphians.
\nSo are you eager to do God’s <\/p>\n
506
\n00:32:13,400 –> 00:32:15,500
\nwork?
\nHave you ever thought about who <\/p>\n
507
\n00:32:15,500 –> 00:32:18,300
\nGod has on Earth to do his work
\nexcept us? <\/p>\n
508
\n00:32:19,200 –> 00:32:21,600
\nI mean, here we are.
\nImagine that it’s of <\/p>\n
509
\n00:32:21,600 –> 00:32:24,200
\nchristadelphians instead of
\nbeing religious body. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:32:24,400 –> 00:32:28,500
\nWe are a sales organization and
\nwe have widgets and we have the <\/p>\n
511
\n00:32:28,500 –> 00:32:31,400
\nbest widget you have ever seen
\nit widgets better than anybody <\/p>\n
512
\n00:32:31,400 –> 00:32:34,800
\nelse’s with you, and you are the
\nsales force for the widgets. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:32:35,000 –> 00:32:37,600
\nAnd I got this great big factor
\nwith thousands of people went <\/p>\n
514
\n00:32:37,600 –> 00:32:40,700
\nmaking widgets and I say, Guam,
\nThe story about the widgets. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:32:41,800 –> 00:32:45,000
\nBut nobody does.
\nAnd the the widgets keep piling <\/p>\n
516
\n00:32:45,000 –> 00:32:48,300
\nup and they were house, it
\ndoesn’t make you just how good a<\/p>\n
517
\n00:32:48,308 –> 00:32:50,400
\nproduct you got.
\nIf you don’t tell people about <\/p>\n
518
\n00:32:50,400 –> 00:32:54,700
\nit and who do we have to tell
\nthe truth as it is in Christ? <\/p>\n
519
\n00:32:54,700 –> 00:32:57,700
\nBut christadelphians what
\nreligious body can? <\/p>\n
520
\n00:32:57,700 –> 00:33:02,300
\nWe hire to go out and preach
\nChrist as he is except us. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:33:04,300 –> 00:33:09,600
\nThere’s nobody, there’s no group
\nthat I know of, that will tell <\/p>\n
522
\n00:33:09,600 –> 00:33:13,300
\nit like it really is except us
\nand we don’t do it. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:33:16,100 –> 00:33:23,600
\nGod is, depending on you and me
\nto be his ambassadors. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:33:25,000 –> 00:33:29,500
\nTo spread the good news of his
\ncoming Kingdom. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:33:30,300 –> 00:33:36,700
\nAnd if we don’t do it, who’s
\ngoing to I want each of you to <\/p>\n
526
\n00:33:36,700 –> 00:33:40,900
\nthink of that, personally,
\nbecause we are workers together <\/p>\n
527
\n00:33:40,900 –> 00:33:45,100
\nwith God.
\nPaul was a worker together with <\/p>\n
528
\n00:33:45,100 –> 00:33:49,000
\nGod, is in partnership with you.
\nJesus said, 12 says, with Gina <\/p>\n
529
\n00:33:49,400 –> 00:33:51,300
\nthat I must be about my father’s
\nbusiness. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:33:51,400 –> 00:33:54,900
\nAre you in business with God?
\nAre you doing God’s business, or<\/p>\n
531
\n00:33:54,900 –> 00:33:57,200
\nyour business?
\nBut the Mansfield again, <\/p>\n

\nIt only does your good if you

564
\n00:35:58,600 –> 00:36:03,800
\nthe Epistle of God.
\nAccording to you, I mean, you <\/p>\n
565
\n00:36:03,800 –> 00:36:05,700
\npeople are reading you every
\nday. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:36:05,700 –> 00:36:09,200
\nEverybody, you see is reading.
\nYou do they know of Love for the<\/p>\n

\n00:36:09,200 –> 00:36:12,100
\ntruth to, they know of your hope
\nfor the coming Kingdom. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:36:12,100 –> 00:36:14,900
\nHave you told them about it?
\nHow you going to put it? <\/p>\n
569
\n00:36:14,900 –> 00:36:17,800
\nWhat if you did have a pill that
\nwould cure cancer and you saw <\/p>\n
570
\n00:36:17,800 –> 00:36:20,500
\npeople dying of cancer and
\nwasting away and you had the <\/p>\n
571
\n00:36:20,500 –> 00:36:22,600
\npill in your pocket and you
\ncould give it to him and save <\/p>\n
572
\n00:36:22,600 –> 00:36:26,000
\nhim and you wouldn’t you’d be
\ncruel when you and would be <\/p>\n
573
\n00:36:26,000 –> 00:36:28,400
\nmerciless?
\nThat would be terrible. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:36:30,100 –> 00:36:32,200
\nEverybody you and I know is
\ndying. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:36:33,100 –> 00:36:36,200
\nThey have an incurable disease
\ncalled sin and you’ve got the <\/p>\n
576
\n00:36:36,200 –> 00:36:38,600
\nanswer to that.
\nAnd if you don’t tell them about<\/p>\n
577
\n00:36:38,600 –> 00:36:45,600
\nit, who’s going to So Paul, he
\nwas out to do it and he did it. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:36:46,500 –> 00:36:51,900
\nAnd so they take off and they
\nsail from troll Us in verse 11 <\/p>\n
579
\n00:36:51,900 –> 00:36:57,300
\nof Acts chapter 16 and they’re
\non their way to Philippi. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:36:57,700 –> 00:37:00,000
\nTherefore loosing from chores.
\nWe came with a straight course <\/p>\n
581
\n00:37:00,000 –> 00:37:02,900
\nto stand with rakia and the next
\nday to neapolis and from thence <\/p>\n
582
\n00:37:02,900 –> 00:37:05,100
\nto Philippi.
\nThey last, they lost no time. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:37:05,200 –> 00:37:09,600
\nIf you’ll check Acts chapter 20
\nand verse 6, you’ll see the same<\/p>\n
584
\n00:37:09,600 –> 00:37:11,000
\ntrip.
\nTook five days. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:37:11,200 –> 00:37:14,000
\nOpposite way.
\nI mean, how far is the how long <\/p>\n
586
\n00:37:14,000 –> 00:37:16,100
\ndoes it take to drive from LA to
\nSan Francisco? <\/p>\n
587
\n00:37:16,300 –> 00:37:18,200
\nHow long does it take to drive
\nfrom San Francisco to LA? <\/p>\n
588
\n00:37:18,300 –> 00:37:20,000
\nHe’s like what’s the same
\ndistance? <\/p>\n
589
\n00:37:20,400 –> 00:37:22,400
\nI mean if you if you do it so
\nmany hours this way I’ll be able<\/p>\n
590
\n00:37:22,400 –> 00:37:25,200
\ndoing so many hours that way.
\nWell they went they went to <\/p>\n
591
\n00:37:25,200 –> 00:37:27,800
\ndays, they came back in five,
\nthat’s how anxious he was. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:37:27,800 –> 00:37:30,200
\nNow maybe he had a good win and
\nother things to help him too, <\/p>\n
593
\n00:37:30,400 –> 00:37:32,600
\nbut God always help you if
\nyou’re trying to do, what’s <\/p>\n
594
\n00:37:32,600 –> 00:37:34,300
\nright?
\nHe’ll even has a wind blowing at<\/p>\n
595
\n00:37:34,300 –> 00:37:39,400
\nyour back.
\nActs 20:6 and we sailed away <\/p>\n
596
\n00:37:39,400 –> 00:37:42,900
\nfrom Phillipi after the days of
\nunleavened bread and came in <\/p>\n
597
\n00:37:43,200 –> 00:37:46,600
\nunto them and Trust in five
\ndays, it took five days to go <\/p>\n
598
\n00:37:46,600 –> 00:37:48,600
\nthe other way.
\nTook two days to go this way, <\/p>\n
599
\n00:37:48,900 –> 00:37:51,800
\nGod was blessing them.
\nHe was helping them when they <\/p>\n
600
\n00:37:51,808 –> 00:37:55,600
\ngot to the apple\u00eds, they walk 10
\nmiles to Philip, I now God had <\/p>\n
601
\n00:37:55,600 –> 00:37:58,900
\ndefinitely sent them to fill up
\nhigh so when he got the Phillipi<\/p>\n
602
\n00:37:59,000 –> 00:38:01,700
\nGod has said come over to
\nPhilippi and help us. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:38:02,000 –> 00:38:06,000
\nSo as this little band of for
\nBrethren walk into Philippi, <\/p>\n
604
\n00:38:06,200 –> 00:38:08,300
\nThere was a big banner across
\nthe street. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:38:08,400 –> 00:38:10,700
\nWelcome christadelphians to
\nPhillipi. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:38:12,200 –> 00:38:16,600
\nRight.
\nWrong because God doesn’t work <\/p>\n
607
\n00:38:16,600 –> 00:38:20,600
\nthat way.
\nThey come to Philippi, they’re <\/p>\n
608
\n00:38:20,600 –> 00:38:25,100
\ndoing God’s work and yet.
\nNo such welcome is there. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:38:28,700 –> 00:38:32,400
\nWhat did they do when they get
\nthe Philippine where they go? <\/p>\n
610
\n00:38:32,900 –> 00:38:35,800
\nWell, they went straight to the
\nsynagogue, of course, because <\/p>\n
611
\n00:38:36,000 –> 00:38:38,600
\nthat’s what Paul always did.
\nWhen he got to a city, he went <\/p>\n
612
\n00:38:38,600 –> 00:38:41,400
\nto the synagogue because that
\nwas a place where he could find <\/p>\n
613
\n00:38:41,400 –> 00:38:43,600
\npeople to preach to.
\nI mean, you got to find people <\/p>\n
614
\n00:38:43,600 –> 00:38:45,900
\nto preach to, right?
\nSo he’s going to the synagogue <\/p>\n
615
\n00:38:45,900 –> 00:38:47,400
\nto pray.
\nNo. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:38:48,300 –> 00:38:50,100
\nThere’s no synagogue in
\nPhilippi. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:38:50,900 –> 00:38:54,300
\nNo synagogue why?
\nWell, if you look that up in a <\/p>\n
618
\n00:38:54,300 –> 00:38:57,600
\nBible dictionary, you find out
\nand Unger’s Bible dictionary, <\/p>\n
619
\n00:38:57,600 –> 00:39:01,500
\nsays it was required that a
\nsynagogue should be built, <\/p>\n
620
\n00:39:01,500 –> 00:39:04,300
\nwherever 10 Israelites were
\ndueling are. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:39:05,600 –> 00:39:08,700
\nIn the larger towns.
\nHe says there was a considerable<\/p>\n
622
\n00:39:08,700 –> 00:39:11,100
\nnumber of synagogues.
\nSo there’s some say, he’s had a <\/p>\n
623
\n00:39:11,107 –> 00:39:14,800
\nlot of them like Jerusalem and
\nAlexandria, and Rome, but in <\/p>\n
624
\n00:39:14,800 –> 00:39:19,900
\nFilipino synagogue, Well why?
\nWell, maybe there were less than<\/p>\n
625
\n00:39:19,900 –> 00:39:24,200
\n10 Jews or perhaps the Jews.
\nThere were so weak in the faith <\/p>\n
626
\n00:39:24,200 –> 00:39:27,800
\nthat they didn’t bother to build
\none or maybe it was because they<\/p>\n
627
\n00:39:27,800 –> 00:39:30,300
\nhad been forbidden to Bill one.
\nAlthough there were synagogues <\/p>\n
628
\n00:39:30,300 –> 00:39:35,200
\nin Rome but you remember just if
\nyou check chapter 18 here of <\/p>\n
629
\n00:39:35,200 –> 00:39:40,200
\nActs and verse 2 we find that at
\nPriscilla and Aquila had just <\/p>\n
630
\n00:39:40,200 –> 00:39:44,400
\nbeen kicked out of Rome because
\nClaudius had never buddy, leave <\/p>\n
631
\n00:39:44,400 –> 00:39:47,100
\nRome.
\nAnd since Phillip I copied Rome <\/p>\n
632
\n00:39:47,100 –> 00:39:50,800
\nMaybe They said, well, if
\nthey’re not welcome, the Jews <\/p>\n
633
\n00:39:50,800 –> 00:39:52,000
\naren’t welcome in Rome.
\nThey’re not. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:39:52,000 –> 00:39:54,900
\nWelcome, and Philip, I either.
\nSo that could be the way reason,<\/p>\n
635
\n00:39:54,900 –> 00:40:00,500
\nbecause this Emperor Claudius,
\nwho reigned from 8040. 1254 was <\/p>\n
636
\n00:40:00,500 –> 00:40:04,700
\na very mean to the Jews.
\nAt first, he was friendly and <\/p>\n
637
\n00:40:04,700 –> 00:40:06,500
\nthen he turned it turning turned
\nagainst him. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:40:06,600 –> 00:40:08,900
\nAnyway, whatever the reason.
\nNo synagogue. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:40:09,300 –> 00:40:12,800
\nSo, what are they going to do?
\nWell, we better go on to <\/p>\n
640
\n00:40:12,808 –> 00:40:14,100
\nthessalonica.
\nThere’s one there. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:40:14,100 –> 00:40:15,100
\nThere’s no you stopped in the
\nfilm. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:40:15,500 –> 00:40:18,400
\nIs, this is a Godless City.
\nYou don’t have her <\/p>\n
643
\n00:40:18,400 –> 00:40:20,900
\nchristadelphians.
\nSay we mentioned about, would <\/p>\n
644
\n00:40:20,900 –> 00:40:22,300
\nyou have Bible lectures in your
\ncity? <\/p>\n
645
\n00:40:22,300 –> 00:40:24,800
\nOh no.
\nOur sound is such a Godless that<\/p>\n
646
\n00:40:24,800 –> 00:40:26,800
\nthere’s no use having Bible
\nlectures in our town. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:40:27,100 –> 00:40:29,600
\nNobody comes to Bible lectures,
\nno, use doing it. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:40:30,700 –> 00:40:34,500
\nIsn’t that an awful attitude to
\ndecide that all the people in <\/p>\n
649
\n00:40:34,500 –> 00:40:38,900
\nyour town aren’t worth saving.
\nNow, maybe they are but why do <\/p>\n
650
\n00:40:38,900 –> 00:40:41,900
\nyou decide that?
\nThat’s God’s prerogative, your <\/p>\n
651
\n00:40:41,900 –> 00:40:45,200
\nto go out there and do his work
\nand he’ll bless those that he <\/p>\n
652
\n00:40:45,200 –> 00:40:49,500
\nwants your call them.
\nWe have no right to not. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:40:49,500 –> 00:40:51,800
\nDo God’s work, because we say,
\noh well, you never get any <\/p>\n
654
\n00:40:51,800 –> 00:40:56,500
\nresults in that town, and there
\nare closures in cities where <\/p>\n
655
\n00:40:56,500 –> 00:40:58,400
\nthey’ve given up having lectures
\nbecause he said, everybody <\/p>\n
656
\n00:40:58,400 –> 00:41:02,100
\nhere’s Carlos.
\nAnd that’s the wrong attitude. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:41:02,800 –> 00:41:06,700
\nSo we preach wherever we can
\nfind people, we preach. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:41:06,900 –> 00:41:09,200
\nSo, where do you go?
\nWhen there’s no synagogue. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:41:09,200 –> 00:41:12,200
\nWell, they went to the Riverside
\nand now they found some women <\/p>\n
660
\n00:41:12,200 –> 00:41:15,200
\ndown there that were praying and
\nyou don’t. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:41:15,300 –> 00:41:19,100
\nIt’s interesting.
\nYou you look you find you find <\/p>\n
662
\n00:41:19,100 –> 00:41:21,900
\nwhat you’re looking for.
\nYou know this is true. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:41:22,000 –> 00:41:23,600
\nYou know people are always
\nlooking for trouble. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:41:24,300 –> 00:41:26,300
\nYou know what do they find?
\nThey always find trouble. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:41:26,300 –> 00:41:28,500
\nDon’t say you find people are
\nlooking for trouble. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:41:28,500 –> 00:41:30,300
\nThey never go without their
\nalways plenty. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:41:30,400 –> 00:41:33,000
\nOf it.
\nWell, you probably heard the <\/p>\n
668
\n00:41:33,008 –> 00:41:35,200
\nstory about to foal sitting on
\nthe airplane and, you know, on <\/p>\n
669
\n00:41:35,200 –> 00:41:38,800
\nairplanes, you do Converse and
\nthey do men got to talking and <\/p>\n
670
\n00:41:38,800 –> 00:41:40,300
\nthey both found out that they
\nhad. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:41:41,000 –> 00:41:44,400
\nEach of them had lived in India
\nfor 20 years. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:41:45,500 –> 00:41:47,000
\nBecause they’ve never met
\nbecause then there’s a pretty <\/p>\n
673
\n00:41:47,000 –> 00:41:49,700
\nbig country and the one says,
\nwell what did you do in India? <\/p>\n
674
\n00:41:49,700 –> 00:41:53,000
\nAnd he’s so well, I was a
\nmissionary and I was there <\/p>\n
675
\n00:41:53,200 –> 00:41:57,400
\nteaching Christ to the people
\nand the other one says, well, I <\/p>\n
676
\n00:41:57,400 –> 00:42:01,200
\nwas a hunter and I was into
\nIndia hunting tigers. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:42:02,800 –> 00:42:05,300
\nAnd the first always says, you
\nknow, I was in India for 20 <\/p>\n
678
\n00:42:05,300 –> 00:42:10,200
\nyears and I never saw a tiger.
\nThe other one says I was in <\/p>\n
679
\n00:42:10,200 –> 00:42:13,700
\nIndia for 20 years and I never
\nfound anyone that believed in <\/p>\n
680
\n00:42:13,700 –> 00:42:17,600
\nChrist.
\nBut what happens is you find <\/p>\n
681
\n00:42:17,600 –> 00:42:21,600
\nwhat you’re looking for.
\nIf you’re not looking for people<\/p>\n
682
\n00:42:21,800 –> 00:42:25,000
\nto teach the truth to, you’ll
\nfind that it never happens that <\/p>\n
683
\n00:42:25,000 –> 00:42:27,400
\nyou bring up the truth.
\nBecause, of course, you don’t <\/p>\n
684
\n00:42:27,400 –> 00:42:29,400
\nwant to bring it up that might
\nembarrass you, right? <\/p>\n
685
\n00:42:29,900 –> 00:42:31,600
\nThey might ask you something,
\nyou don’t know, right? <\/p>\n
686
\n00:42:31,700 –> 00:42:35,400
\nSo, the best thing is in order
\nbecause your ego and your old <\/p>\n
687
\n00:42:35,400 –> 00:42:38,600
\nself esteem is so important that
\nit’s better to forget about <\/p>\n
688
\n00:42:38,600 –> 00:42:40,600
\nChrist and pat yourself on the
\nback. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:42:42,000 –> 00:42:45,100
\nIn other words, you think more
\nof self than Jesus Christ, that <\/p>\n
690
\n00:42:45,100 –> 00:42:48,300
\ndied for you.
\nForget about yourself, think <\/p>\n
691
\n00:42:48,300 –> 00:42:51,000
\nabout Jesus.
\nThey’re not gonna kill you. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:42:51,000 –> 00:42:54,800
\nWe live in a tolerant age.
\nNow, people may not agree with <\/p>\n
693
\n00:42:54,800 –> 00:42:57,300
\nyou but they don’t give you any
\ntrouble really. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:42:57,700 –> 00:43:01,600
\nSo, so you need to find a way of
\nmaking sure that everybody that,<\/p>\n
695
\n00:43:01,600 –> 00:43:04,300
\nyou know, knows about your truth
\nin your home. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:43:04,800 –> 00:43:08,800
\nSo he goes to Phillipi and he
\nfinds these women and you look <\/p>\n
697
\n00:43:08,800 –> 00:43:12,500
\nat verse 14, what happens on a
\ncertain woman named Lydia, a <\/p>\n
698
\n00:43:12,500 –> 00:43:16,600
\nseller of purple of the city of
\nthyatira which worshipped God <\/p>\n
699
\n00:43:16,600 –> 00:43:21,000
\nheard us.
\nHere is a rich woman. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:43:21,100 –> 00:43:25,300
\nShe was very wealthy because she
\ndealt in purple dye and purple, <\/p>\n
701
\n00:43:25,300 –> 00:43:27,600
\ndye came from several different
\nways. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:43:27,600 –> 00:43:32,500
\nOne was a little shellfish found
\nin the waters of The Phoenician <\/p>\n
703
\n00:43:32,500 –> 00:43:35,700
\ncoast and each shellfish.
\nYou slit its throat and you got <\/p>\n
704
\n00:43:35,700 –> 00:43:39,200
\none drop of purple per fish.
\nNow, you want to make a cheaper <\/p>\n
705
\n00:43:39,200 –> 00:43:40,700
\ngreater purple, you could crush
\nthem. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:43:40,900 –> 00:43:44,100
\nAnd there was another way you
\ncould get purple from a root <\/p>\n
707
\n00:43:44,100 –> 00:43:48,400
\nthat Drew near with our attire
\nwas called a matter of They <\/p>\n
708
\n00:43:48,400 –> 00:43:52,700
\ncrush this matter route and they
\nmade a more inexpensive grade of<\/p>\n
709
\n00:43:52,700 –> 00:43:55,700
\npurple cloth.
\nBut Philip I love purple because<\/p>\n
710
\n00:43:55,700 –> 00:43:59,100
\npurple was a royal color and
\nPhilip I was a little Rome, and <\/p>\n
711
\n00:43:59,100 –> 00:44:01,100
\nRome was a Royal City and we
\nwant to be like Rome. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:44:01,100 –> 00:44:02,900
\nSo we’re going to wear purple
\nbecause they were purple. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:44:03,500 –> 00:44:06,400
\nSo purple was a very big seller
\nin Philippi. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:44:06,600 –> 00:44:10,100
\nAnd so she was very rich because
\nit took a lot of money to sell <\/p>\n
715
\n00:44:10,100 –> 00:44:11,400
\npurple.
\nAnd Philip I you had to have an <\/p>\n
716
\n00:44:11,400 –> 00:44:14,600
\ninventory and she had a big
\nhouse there and she was wealthy <\/p>\n
717
\n00:44:14,600 –> 00:44:16,700
\nand caught, you know.
\nNo use talking the truth to rich<\/p>\n
718
\n00:44:16,700 –> 00:44:17,800
\npeople because they won’t.
\nListen, right. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:44:19,500 –> 00:44:22,300
\nDo this on anybody who will
\nlisten and don’t refuse to <\/p>\n
720
\n00:44:22,300 –> 00:44:24,400
\npreach because you think you’re
\ncasting your Curt Pearls Before <\/p>\n
721
\n00:44:24,400 –> 00:44:25,400
\nSwine?
\nDon’t you? <\/p>\n
722
\n00:44:25,400 –> 00:44:28,000
\nAnd I decide who’s swine that’s
\nup to God. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:44:28,400 –> 00:44:30,800
\nYou just keep telling everybody.
\nYou make that your <\/p>\n
724
\n00:44:30,800 –> 00:44:33,400
\nchristadelphians and they say,
\nwhat is that? <\/p>\n
725
\n00:44:34,200 –> 00:44:36,100
\nAnd then I got a little story.
\nI don’t have time to tell you <\/p>\n
726
\n00:44:36,107 –> 00:44:39,100
\nnow but I was a little story.
\nI tell to everybody on the plane<\/p>\n
727
\n00:44:39,100 –> 00:44:41,000
\nwherever I mean I got a little
\nstory, I tell them and they <\/p>\n
728
\n00:44:41,000 –> 00:44:43,000
\nalways ask.
\nAnd every time they ask, they <\/p>\n
729
\n00:44:43,000 –> 00:44:46,800
\nalways ask me about my faith,
\nthey always ask me because I <\/p>\n
730
\n00:44:46,800 –> 00:44:49,900
\nwork it around.
\nSo they have to And then I don’t<\/p>\n
731
\n00:44:49,900 –> 00:44:52,000
\nknow, brought it up.
\nThey did and then they bring it <\/p>\n
732
\n00:44:52,008 –> 00:44:53,300
\nup.
\nWhoops, there you go. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:44:53,500 –> 00:44:58,200
\nYou asked, but that’s what we
\nshould post to do. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:44:58,200 –> 00:45:01,200
\nYou see, I mean we’re working
\ntogether with God. <\/p>\n
735
\n00:45:01,800 –> 00:45:04,600
\nSo what happened to this?
\nGal, what happened, what <\/p>\n
736
\n00:45:04,600 –> 00:45:10,100
\nhappened to Lydia?
\nWhose heart notice that the <\/p>\n
737
\n00:45:10,100 –> 00:45:13,100
\nright in the middle of verse 40,
\nwhose heart the Lord opened, <\/p>\n
738
\n00:45:14,100 –> 00:45:17,100
\nthat’s what happens when you go
\nout preaching the word you’re <\/p>\n
739
\n00:45:17,107 –> 00:45:18,700
\ngoing to find.
\nOh, and it’s so thrilling. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:45:18,700 –> 00:45:22,000
\nWhen you find somebody whose
\nheart God opens. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:45:22,600 –> 00:45:26,200
\nIt’s so wonderful.
\nWhen you find a heart that God <\/p>\n
742
\n00:45:26,200 –> 00:45:30,000
\nopens, you can’t Open Hearts,
\nthat’s God’s work. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:45:31,300 –> 00:45:35,600
\nBut he needs your help because
\nhe works through people, God <\/p>\n
744
\n00:45:35,600 –> 00:45:38,600
\nworks through weak people, like
\na God doesn’t use them. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:45:38,600 –> 00:45:41,400
\nBut the, the great, the mighty,
\nnot many of those are called <\/p>\n
746
\n00:45:41,400 –> 00:45:45,100
\njust us for more, folks.
\nWe’re the ones gods and when his<\/p>\n
747
\n00:45:45,100 –> 00:45:47,000
\nambassadors, he hasn’t have
\nanybody. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:45:47,000 –> 00:45:50,200
\nBut us now what happens when
\nyou’re when Lydia’s heart gets <\/p>\n
749
\n00:45:50,200 –> 00:45:52,000
\nopen?
\nWell, she didn’t just say, well,<\/p>\n
750
\n00:45:52,000 –> 00:45:54,200
\nthat’s kind of nice, you know,
\nI’ll think about that. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:45:55,200 –> 00:45:59,900
\nNo, she was baptized and she
\nbeside us saying if you judge <\/p>\n
752
\n00:45:59,900 –> 00:46:04,800
\nme, faithful to the Lord come
\nand stay at my house right away.<\/p>\n
753
\n00:46:04,800 –> 00:46:07,900
\nShe was willing to do work for
\nJesus for Paul. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:46:08,100 –> 00:46:11,600
\nBecause, love for God, does they
\nlove for? <\/p>\n
755
\n00:46:11,600 –> 00:46:13,300
\nGod is active?
\nIt’s not passive. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:46:13,400 –> 00:46:15,900
\nI love Jesus more than anything
\nelse in the world, or I think <\/p>\n
757
\n00:46:15,900 –> 00:46:17,400
\nthe truth is the greatest thing
\nin the world. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:46:17,500 –> 00:46:19,700
\nWould you like to help his own?
\nNo, I can’t do that. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:46:19,700 –> 00:46:20,800
\nWould you like to?
\nOh no. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:46:20,800 –> 00:46:24,200
\nNo, I’m too weak.
\nI don’t know how as too far. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:46:24,200 –> 00:46:28,100
\nI have to work.
\nI got a some reason, do it. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:46:29,300 –> 00:46:34,200
\nLydia did what she could with
\nwhat she had, right. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:46:34,200 –> 00:46:38,200
\nWhere she was, she had a house
\nand they needed a place to stay <\/p>\n
764
\n00:46:38,200 –> 00:46:41,800
\nand so she says, come and stay
\nwith us and that is one of the <\/p>\n
765
\n00:46:41,800 –> 00:46:46,200
\nlessons that we learn from being
\na family of God. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:46:46,500 –> 00:46:52,900
\nWe open our homes to one another
\nPeter tells us in First Peter <\/p>\n
767
\n00:46:53,100 –> 00:47:00,100
\nchapter 4 Verse 8.
\nAnd nine. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:47:02,200 –> 00:47:06,100
\nUse Hospitality one to another
\noh but that’s not the end of the<\/p>\n
769
\n00:47:06,100 –> 00:47:08,800
\nverse use.
\nHospitality Wanderer. <\/p>\n
770
\n00:47:09,000 –> 00:47:12,700
\nYou mean we got company again?
\nNo not again, we got some more <\/p>\n
771
\n00:47:12,700 –> 00:47:16,800
\npeople coming.
\nOh my goodness without grudging <\/p>\n
772
\n00:47:16,800 –> 00:47:19,200
\nit says that’s the end of the
\nverse use. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:47:19,200 –> 00:47:24,600
\nHospitality one to another and
\ndon’t complain as every man has <\/p>\n
774
\n00:47:24,600 –> 00:47:27,500
\nreceived the gift even so
\nMinister the same one to another<\/p>\n
775
\n00:47:27,600 –> 00:47:31,400
\nas good stewards of the manifold
\ngrace of God. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:47:32,000 –> 00:47:35,200
\nWe’re supposed, you know, Jesus
\ntells you who to invite to your <\/p>\n
777
\n00:47:35,200 –> 00:47:37,700
\nhouse, you think it’s your own
\nbusiness who you invite your <\/p>\n
778
\n00:47:37,700 –> 00:47:40,500
\nhouse, don’t you.
\nIt’s not just tells you who to <\/p>\n
779
\n00:47:40,500 –> 00:47:42,700
\ninvite your house, you don’t
\nhave a right to invite anybody, <\/p>\n
780
\n00:47:42,700 –> 00:47:44,600
\nyou want.
\nWell, it’s my house. <\/p>\n
781
\n00:47:45,500 –> 00:47:47,500
\nNo, it really isn’t.
\nIt’s God’s house. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:47:47,600 –> 00:47:49,100
\nEverything you have is come from
\nGod. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:47:49,300 –> 00:47:53,000
\nSo when you have a banquet or
\ndinner or supper or t, whatever <\/p>\n
784
\n00:47:53,000 –> 00:47:56,000
\nyou want, don’t call your
\nfriends, don’t call your <\/p>\n
785
\n00:47:56,100 –> 00:47:59,800
\nrelatives, don’t call the rich,
\npeople, your neighbors. <\/p>\n
786
\n00:48:01,100 –> 00:48:04,900
\nWhen you have a feast called the
\npoor, the maimed, the lame, the <\/p>\n
787
\n00:48:04,900 –> 00:48:07,000
\nblind.
\nIf you do that, you’ll get in <\/p>\n
788
\n00:48:07,000 –> 00:48:09,800
\nthe Kingdom.
\nSo what he said, Thou shalt be <\/p>\n
789
\n00:48:09,800 –> 00:48:12,500
\nblessed for they cannot
\nrecompense. <\/p>\n
790
\n00:48:12,500 –> 00:48:15,900
\nSee, but you shall be
\nrecompensed at the resurrection <\/p>\n
791
\n00:48:15,900 –> 00:48:21,600
\nof the just we remember that
\nthis beloved Apostle, Paul, he <\/p>\n
792
\n00:48:21,600 –> 00:48:25,300
\npraised those who were
\nhospitable and second is third <\/p>\n
793
\n00:48:25,300 –> 00:48:29,300
\nthird epistle.
\nHe, he says you do well, because<\/p>\n
794
\n00:48:29,800 –> 00:48:32,800
\nwhatsoever, you do to the Other
\nit and not only brother also, <\/p>\n
795
\n00:48:32,800 –> 00:48:36,300
\nbut two strangers.
\nHe says, and so he’s praising <\/p>\n
796
\n00:48:36,300 –> 00:48:38,600
\nGaius here because Gaius was
\nhospitable. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:48:38,900 –> 00:48:41,900
\nBut look at the doctor fees
\ngeographies hook, you don’t go <\/p>\n
798
\n00:48:41,900 –> 00:48:44,300
\nto a doctor faces house, unless
\nyou got an invitation, and you <\/p>\n
799
\n00:48:44,300 –> 00:48:47,600
\nain’t going to get one.
\nAnd Not only would he not have <\/p>\n
800
\n00:48:47,600 –> 00:48:48,300
\nyou?
\nBut he’s gonna tell all the <\/p>\n
801
\n00:48:48,300 –> 00:48:49,400
\nbreath.
\nDon’t you have them over? <\/p>\n
802
\n00:48:50,000 –> 00:48:53,200
\nDon’t you ready to do with them?
\nSo diotrephes would love to have<\/p>\n
803
\n00:48:53,200 –> 00:48:54,800
\nThe Primitives.
\nHe wouldn’t have Paul wouldn’t <\/p>\n
804
\n00:48:54,800 –> 00:48:58,200
\nhave a John and he also turned
\nthe others away so that they <\/p>\n
805
\n00:48:58,200 –> 00:49:00,600
\nwouldn’t have him either.
\nBut you see? <\/p>\n
806
\n00:49:00,900 –> 00:49:04,900
\nLydia was different than that.
\nAnd if we want to be saved, <\/p>\n
807
\n00:49:05,000 –> 00:49:09,000
\nwe’ve got to be more like Lydia
\nand not at all like diotrephes. <\/p>\n
808
\n00:49:09,800 –> 00:49:14,800
\nRomans chapter 12 seems to be a
\nperfect description of Lydia. <\/p>\n
809
\n00:49:14,900 –> 00:49:19,900
\nRomans 12 verse 10 were told be
\nkindly affectioned one to <\/p>\n
810
\n00:49:19,900 –> 00:49:24,500
\nanother with brotherly love and
\nhonour preferring one another. <\/p>\n
811
\n00:49:25,000 –> 00:49:27,400
\nNow what have you got to do?
\nBe faithful. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:49:27,400 –> 00:49:30,700
\nIt not slothful in business, if
\nyou’re in business, don’t cheat.<\/p>\n
813
\n00:49:30,900 –> 00:49:35,100
\nDo a good job but it isn’t your
\nlife, just you work in order to <\/p>\n
814
\n00:49:35,100 –> 00:49:39,000
\nlive for Jesus, but whatever
\nyour job is, do it unto the <\/p>\n
815
\n00:49:39,000 –> 00:49:41,600
\nLord.
\nThat’s awful and business <\/p>\n
816
\n00:49:41,600 –> 00:49:45,100
\nserving the lord rejoicing in
\nHope, patient in Tribulation <\/p>\n
817
\n00:49:45,200 –> 00:49:49,000
\ncontinuing, instant in prayer
\nDistributing to the necessity of<\/p>\n
818
\n00:49:49,000 –> 00:49:53,800
\nsaints, given to hospitality.
\nSo, there we have it. <\/p>\n
819
\n00:49:53,800 –> 00:49:56,200
\nWe’re told what we’re supposed
\nto do. <\/p>\n
820
\n00:49:56,900 –> 00:50:00,600
\nWe’re supposed to open our home,
\nto others and help. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:50:00,800 –> 00:50:05,800
\nUp them just like Lydia did
\nLydia, open our home to Paul, <\/p>\n
822
\n00:50:06,200 –> 00:50:09,600
\nand to the Brethren.
\nAnd not only that after they <\/p>\n
823
\n00:50:09,600 –> 00:50:12,700
\nleft, Lydia’s house and went on
\ntheir way to thessalonica. <\/p>\n
824
\n00:50:13,000 –> 00:50:15,700
\nThey remembered them there and
\nsent gifts to them there. <\/p>\n
825
\n00:50:15,700 –> 00:50:20,300
\nBecause in Philippians chapter 4
\nand verse 16, we see that Paul <\/p>\n
826
\n00:50:20,300 –> 00:50:24,600
\nsays, even in thessalonica you
\nat Philippi up, Philippi you <\/p>\n
827
\n00:50:24,600 –> 00:50:28,500
\nflip Ian’s probably would have
\nincluded at Lydia. <\/p>\n
828
\n00:50:28,900 –> 00:50:32,700
\nYou sent not just one time.
\nBut once again, under my other <\/p>\n
829
\n00:50:32,700 –> 00:50:37,100
\nsesa T, verse 10 of chapter 4,
\nI’m going to read it to you from<\/p>\n
830
\n00:50:37,100 –> 00:50:40,300
\nanother translation.
\nIt has been a great joy to me <\/p>\n
831
\n00:50:40,300 –> 00:50:42,500
\nthat.
\nAfter all this time, you are <\/p>\n
832
\n00:50:42,500 –> 00:50:45,600
\nsoul shown such interest in my
\nwelfare. <\/p>\n
833
\n00:50:46,100 –> 00:50:49,200
\nI don’t mean that you have
\nforgotten me, but up till now <\/p>\n
834
\n00:50:49,200 –> 00:50:52,900
\nyou had no opportunity of
\nexpressing your concern. <\/p>\n
835
\n00:50:53,900 –> 00:50:57,100
\nAre you and I doing what we can
\ndo to help one. <\/p>\n
836
\n00:50:57,100 –> 00:51:01,800
\nAnother is our love for one.
\nAnother showing you know be <\/p>\n
837
\n00:51:01,800 –> 00:51:04,500
\ndoers of the word, not hearers
\nonly don’t talk about love. <\/p>\n
838
\n00:51:04,700 –> 00:51:09,600
\nJohn says don’t talk about it.
\nDo it first John 3. 18, my <\/p>\n
839
\n00:51:09,600 –> 00:51:12,300
\nlittle children.
\nLet us not love in word. <\/p>\n
840
\n00:51:12,400 –> 00:51:14,400
\nHe doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
\nJust talk about it, but he said,<\/p>\n
841
\n00:51:14,600 –> 00:51:17,800
\nTalk’s cheap, don’t it?
\nNeither in tongue but in deed <\/p>\n
842
\n00:51:17,800 –> 00:51:24,000
\nand in truth, that’s what we do.
\nWe show our love, Lydia had a <\/p>\n
843
\n00:51:24,000 –> 00:51:29,000
\nwonderful experience, she was
\ntaught the truth, she then gave <\/p>\n
844
\n00:51:29,000 –> 00:51:32,500
\nof herself.
\nShe gave her whole she gave her <\/p>\n
845
\n00:51:32,500 –> 00:51:36,800
\ntime.
\nShe gave her money to help them <\/p>\n
846
\n00:51:36,800 –> 00:51:39,900
\nwhen they were there and even
\nAfter their left. <\/p>\n
847
\n00:51:41,100 –> 00:51:45,100
\nNow, Lydia learned the secret of
\ntrue happiness. <\/p>\n
848
\n00:51:46,500 –> 00:51:49,800
\nFrom Paul.
\nBefore this week is out, we’re <\/p>\n
849
\n00:51:49,800 –> 00:51:52,400
\ngoing to learn it too, and we’re
\ngoing to be as happy as Lydia <\/p>\n
850
\n00:51:52,400 –> 00:51:54,200
\nwas.
\nWe’re going to be the happiest <\/p>\n
851
\n00:51:54,200 –> 00:51:57,400
\npeople on Earth if we just
\nremember the secret. <\/p>\n
852
\n00:51:58,700 –> 00:52:02,400
\nAnd apply it in our life.
\nWe’re going to be the Most <\/p>\n
853
\n00:52:02,500 –> 00:52:04,700
\nBlessed people on the face of
\nthe Earth. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:52:04,700 –> 00:52:07,500
\nWe are right now, but I don’t
\nthink we appreciate the <\/p>\n
855
\n00:52:07,500 –> 00:52:11,000
\nwonderful gift that we have.
\nAnd so as our class comes to a <\/p>\n
856
\n00:52:11,000 –> 00:52:15,200
\nclose today, we want their young
\ntruth, core is going to help us <\/p>\n
857
\n00:52:15,200 –> 00:52:17,500
\nbefore you leave the room.
\nBe sure that you get your <\/p>\n
858
\n00:52:17,500 –> 00:52:21,800
\nhomework because we want you to
\ntake this verse in Proverbs. <\/p>\n
859
\n00:52:21,800 –> 00:52:24,400
\nThe one that’s Sayer and we want
\nyou by tomorrow. <\/p>\n
860
\n00:52:24,400 –> 00:52:28,200
\nGod willing to be able to recite
\nit in full because it’s not <\/p>\n
861
\n00:52:28,200 –> 00:52:30,700
\nsomething to know it’s a way of
\nlife. <\/p>\n
862
\n00:52:31,600 –> 00:52:36,600
\nAnd if you live, those verses.
\nYou will be happy now. <\/p>\n
863
\n00:52:37,600 –> 00:52:41,100
\nAnd you will be happy forever in
\nthe Kingdom. <\/p>\n
864
\n00:52:41,700 –> 00:52:46,400
\nSo, trust in the Lord, with all
\nthine heart, and lean not unto <\/p>\n
865
\n00:52:46,400 –> 00:52:51,200
\nthine own understanding in all,
\nthy ways acknowledge Him. <\/p>\n
866
\n00:52:52,900 –> 00:52:54,800
\nAnd he shall direct thy paths.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
