00:00:55.539 --> 00:00:58.380
He's<00:00:55.859><c> certainly</c><00:00:56.179><c> answering</c><00:00:56.619><c> a</c><00:00:56.880><c> letter</c><00:00:57.079><c> that</c><00:00:57.380><c> was</c><00:00:57.600><c> sent</c><00:00:57.820><c> to</c><00:00:58.079><c> him.</c>

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:14.700
because<00:01:10.120><c> he</c><00:01:10.579><c> has</c><00:01:10.939><c> made</c><00:01:11.159><c> a</c><00:01:11.420><c> vow</c><00:01:11.599><c> and</c><00:01:12.260><c> he</c><00:01:12.439><c> wants</c><00:01:12.659><c> to</c><00:01:12.920><c> be</c><00:01:13.120><c> in</c><00:01:13.319><c> Jerusalem</c><00:01:13.840><c> to</c>

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:21.879
This<00:01:16.540><c> is</c><00:01:16.819><c> the</c><00:01:16.939><c> last</c><00:01:17.340><c> of</c><00:01:17.560><c> his</c><00:01:19.579><c> third</c><00:01:20.700><c> journey.</c>

00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.319
I<00:01:31.299><c> think</c><00:01:31.579><c> we</c><00:01:31.799><c> got</c><00:01:31.980><c> down</c><00:01:32.319><c> to</c><00:01:32.579><c> about</c><00:01:33.000><c> the</c><00:01:33.420><c> seventh</c><00:01:33.879><c> chapter.</c>

00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.019
Well,<00:01:35.560><c> let's</c><00:01:35.780><c> go</c><00:01:35.980><c> to</c><00:01:36.120><c> the</c><00:01:36.319><c> sixth</c><00:01:36.640><c> chapter</c><00:01:37.040><c> of</c><00:01:37.280><c> 1</c><00:01:37.439><c> Corinthians</c>

00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:43.500
What<00:01:39.859><c> we're</c><00:01:40.140><c> doing</c><00:01:40.420><c> is</c><00:01:40.640><c> we're</c><00:01:40.819><c> looking</c><00:01:41.180><c> at</c><00:01:41.579><c> these</c><00:01:42.239><c> particular</c><00:01:42.840><c> chapters</c>

00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:47.480
to<00:01:44.280><c> just</c><00:01:45.079><c> see</c><00:01:45.340><c> what</c><00:01:45.500><c> he</c><00:01:45.680><c> says</c><00:01:45.959><c> about</c><00:01:46.239><c> himself.</c>

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:51.299
In<00:01:47.680><c> the</c><00:01:47.879><c> sixth</c><00:01:48.180><c> chapter</c><00:01:48.599><c> and</c><00:01:48.819><c> at</c><00:01:49.079><c> the</c><00:01:49.739><c> twelfth</c><00:01:50.200><c> verse,</c>

00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.000
we<00:01:52.319><c> find</c><00:01:52.519><c> that</c><00:01:52.700><c> he</c><00:01:52.719><c> has</c><00:01:52.980><c> this</c><00:01:53.260><c> remark</c><00:01:53.599><c> to</c><00:01:53.840><c> make</c><00:01:54.239><c> that</c>

00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:58.739
all<00:01:55.599><c> things</c><00:01:55.900><c> are</c><00:01:56.159><c> lawful</c><00:01:56.519><c> unto</c><00:01:56.719><c> me,</c><00:01:57.140><c> but</c><00:01:57.239><c> all</c><00:01:57.500><c> things</c><00:01:57.700><c> are</c><00:01:57.920><c> not</c><00:01:58.120><c> expedient.</c>

00:01:58.939 --> 00:02:02.319
All<00:01:59.140><c> things</c><00:01:59.400><c> are</c><00:01:59.659><c> lawful</c><00:01:59.959><c> for</c><00:02:00.159><c> me,</c><00:02:00.760><c> but</c><00:02:00.900><c> I</c><00:02:01.040><c> will</c><00:02:01.260><c> not</c><00:02:01.480><c> be</c><00:02:01.700><c> brought</c><00:02:01.959><c> under</c>

00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:03.340
the<00:02:02.579><c> power</c><00:02:02.879><c> of</c><00:02:03.140><c> any.</c>

00:02:03.700 --> 00:02:06.799
So<00:02:04.019><c> he</c><00:02:04.099><c> was</c><00:02:04.280><c> saying</c><00:02:04.620><c> that</c><00:02:05.159><c> many</c><00:02:05.519><c> of</c><00:02:05.680><c> the</c><00:02:05.859><c> things</c><00:02:06.019><c> that</c><00:02:06.159><c> were</c><00:02:06.359><c> going</c><00:02:06.599><c> on</c>

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.560
in<00:02:07.000><c> life</c><00:02:07.239><c> are</c><00:02:07.640><c> certainly</c><00:02:08.000><c> legitimate</c>

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.979
and<00:02:08.819><c> can</c><00:02:09.020><c> be</c><00:02:09.319><c> done</c><00:02:09.659><c> just</c><00:02:10.240><c> as</c><00:02:10.520><c> we</c><00:02:10.699><c> have</c><00:02:10.919><c> many</c><00:02:11.219><c> activities</c><00:02:11.759><c> that</c>

00:02:11.979 --> 00:02:13.319
we<00:02:12.099><c> can</c><00:02:12.419><c> indulge</c><00:02:12.919><c> in</c>

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.419
that<00:02:13.460><c> there</c><00:02:13.639><c> is</c><00:02:13.840><c> no</c><00:02:14.060><c> thus</c><00:02:14.379><c> said</c><00:02:14.580><c> the</c><00:02:14.840><c> Lord</c><00:02:15.259><c> thou</c><00:02:15.680><c> shalt</c><00:02:16.060><c> not.</c>

00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.979
And<00:02:17.139><c> so</c><00:02:17.259><c> we</c><00:02:17.419><c> have</c><00:02:17.599><c> to</c><00:02:17.780><c> make</c><00:02:17.960><c> a</c><00:02:18.159><c> determination</c><00:02:18.759><c> just</c><00:02:19.439><c> what</c><00:02:19.780><c> is</c>

00:02:19.979 --> 00:02:22.599
it<00:02:20.120><c> in</c><00:02:20.340><c> life</c><00:02:20.560><c> that</c><00:02:20.740><c> is</c><00:02:21.120><c> acceptable</c><00:02:21.460><c> to</c><00:02:21.719><c> God.</c>

00:02:22.620 --> 00:02:25.479
They<00:02:22.620><c> are</c><00:02:22.960><c> lawful,</c><00:02:24.139><c> but</c><00:02:24.340><c> they</c><00:02:24.580><c> are</c><00:02:24.759><c> not</c><00:02:25.020><c> expedient.</c>

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.539
They<00:02:25.699><c> do</c><00:02:26.000><c> nothing</c><00:02:26.360><c> to</c><00:02:26.699><c> help</c><00:02:26.960><c> glorify</c><00:02:27.680><c> God</c><00:02:28.080><c> to</c><00:02:28.639><c> elevate</c><00:02:29.000><c> the</c><00:02:29.240><c> position</c><00:02:29.719><c> that</c><00:02:30.259><c> we</c>

00:02:30.539 --> 00:02:32.560
have<00:02:30.819><c> elected</c><00:02:31.280><c> to</c><00:02:31.659><c> choose</c><00:02:31.919><c> and</c><00:02:32.259><c> follow.</c>

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.599
And<00:02:33.199><c> therefore</c><00:02:33.500><c> they</c><00:02:33.719><c> are</c><00:02:33.960><c> better</c><00:02:34.280><c> off</c><00:02:34.699><c> not</c><00:02:35.319><c> done.</c>

00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.559
But<00:12:09.159><c> being</c><00:12:09.440><c> absent,</c><00:12:10.179><c> I'm</c><00:12:10.600><c> bold</c><00:12:10.980><c> toward</c><00:12:11.340><c> you.</c>

00:12:19.500 --> 00:12:21.580
This<00:12:19.679><c> is</c><00:12:19.919><c> more</c><00:12:20.179><c> important</c><00:12:20.639><c> than</c><00:12:20.899><c> anything</c><00:12:21.200><c> else.</c>

00:12:34.419 --> 00:12:37.240

00:12:37.379 --> 00:12:41.559

00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:44.100
I<00:12:42.360><c> want</c><00:12:42.700><c> you</c><00:12:42.960><c> in</c><00:12:43.100><c> the</c><00:12:43.279><c> kingdom.</c>

00:12:44.419 --> 00:12:47.159
Do<00:12:44.600><c> our</c><00:12:44.860><c> brethren</c><00:12:45.100><c> and</c><00:12:45.340><c> sisters</c><00:12:45.620><c> know</c><00:12:45.940><c> that</c><00:12:46.179><c> we</c><00:12:46.519><c> want</c><00:12:46.759><c> them</c><00:12:46.980><c> in</c>

00:12:51.500 --> 00:12:54.659
Are<00:12:51.759><c> we</c><00:12:52.700><c> encouraging</c><00:12:53.299><c> them</c><00:12:53.659><c> when</c><00:12:53.840><c> they're</c><00:12:54.179><c> down?</c>

00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:58.139
Are<00:12:54.980><c> we</c><00:12:55.720><c> laughing</c><00:12:56.600><c> with</c><00:12:56.840><c> them</c><00:12:57.059><c> when</c><00:12:57.200><c> they</c><00:12:57.360><c> have</c><00:12:57.659><c> joys?</c>

00:12:58.379 --> 00:12:59.919

00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:01.379
I'm<00:13:00.759><c> jealous</c><00:13:01.080><c> of</c><00:13:01.299><c> you.</c>

00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:03.919
I<00:13:01.519><c> have</c><00:13:01.759><c> espoused</c><00:13:02.080><c> you,</c><00:13:02.240><c> he</c><00:13:02.379><c> says,</c><00:13:02.659><c> into</c><00:13:02.740><c> one</c><00:13:03.000><c> husband.</c>

00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:07.480
That<00:13:04.419><c> I</c><00:13:04.519><c> may</c><00:13:04.700><c> present</c><00:13:05.019><c> you</c><00:13:05.159><c> as</c><00:13:05.299><c> a</c><00:13:05.539><c> chaste</c><00:13:05.820><c> virgin</c><00:13:06.159><c> to</c><00:13:06.419><c> Christ.</c>

00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.519
He<00:13:07.879><c> says,</c><00:13:08.059><c> but</c><00:13:08.179><c> I</c><00:13:08.539><c> fear.</c>

00:13:10.059 --> 00:13:12.580
Because<00:13:10.360><c> we're</c><00:13:10.899><c> all</c><00:13:11.120><c> made</c><00:13:11.340><c> out</c><00:13:11.500><c> of</c><00:13:11.639><c> the</c><00:13:11.840><c> same</c><00:13:12.120><c> stuff.</c>

00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:14.059
Lest<00:13:12.960><c> by</c><00:13:13.299><c> any</c><00:13:13.539><c> means.</c>

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.379
As<00:13:14.620><c> though</c><00:13:15.139><c> the</c><00:13:15.440><c> serpent</c><00:13:15.740><c> Megile</c><00:13:16.320><c> leave</c><00:13:16.539><c> through</c><00:13:16.759><c> his</c><00:13:17.039><c> subtly.</c>

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.039
So<00:13:17.620><c> your</c><00:13:17.980><c> mind</c><00:13:18.220><c> should</c><00:13:18.440><c> be</c><00:13:18.679><c> corrupted</c><00:13:18.980><c> from</c><00:13:19.259><c> the</c><00:13:19.539><c> simplicity</c>

00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:21.559
that<00:13:20.620><c> is</c><00:13:20.820><c> in</c><00:13:21.120><c> Christ.</c>

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:24.039
It<00:13:22.220><c> can</c><00:13:22.460><c> happen</c><00:13:22.820><c> to</c><00:13:23.139><c> us.</c>

00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.019
Christ,<00:13:25.039><c> life</c><00:13:25.500><c> is</c><00:13:25.919><c> simple.</c>

00:13:27.179 --> 00:13:29.039
What<00:13:27.379><c> would</c><00:13:27.659><c> thou</c><00:13:27.879><c> have</c><00:13:28.179><c> me</c><00:13:28.340><c> to</c><00:13:28.460><c> do,</c><00:13:28.940><c> Lord?</c>

00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:33.080
We<00:13:29.559><c> read</c><00:13:29.779><c> it,</c><00:13:30.179><c> we</c><00:13:30.399><c> do</c><00:13:30.600><c> it,</c><00:13:31.039><c> and</c><00:13:31.159><c> we</c><00:13:31.440><c> forget</c><00:13:31.740><c> all</c><00:13:32.019><c> the</c><00:13:32.179><c> rest.</c>

00:13:33.419 --> 00:13:35.379
It<00:13:33.480><c> is</c><00:13:33.820><c> a</c><00:13:33.940><c> simplicity</c><00:13:34.559><c> in</c><00:13:34.919><c> Christ.</c>

00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.759
God<00:13:36.100><c> says,</c><00:13:36.440><c> don't,</c><00:13:36.960><c> we</c><00:13:37.159><c> don't.</c>

00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:39.600
God<00:13:38.299><c> says,</c><00:13:38.779><c> do,</c><00:13:39.059><c> we</c><00:13:39.259><c> do.</c>

00:13:39.980 --> 00:13:41.820
God<00:13:40.259><c> says,</c><00:13:40.600><c> it</c><00:13:40.620><c> doesn't</c><00:13:40.940><c> matter.</c>

00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:46.700
Then<00:13:41.860><c> we</c><00:13:42.580><c> say</c><00:13:43.299><c> to</c><00:13:43.559><c> ourselves,</c><00:13:44.139><c> is</c><00:13:44.299><c> it</c><00:13:44.559><c> expedient</c><00:13:45.340><c> to</c><00:13:45.679><c> give</c><00:13:45.860><c> glory</c><00:13:46.220><c> to</c><00:13:46.480><c> God?</c>

00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.159
That's<00:13:47.559><c> the</c><00:13:47.659><c> way</c><00:13:47.799><c> we</c><00:13:48.019><c> live</c><00:13:48.139><c> our</c><00:13:48.379><c> life,</c><00:13:48.580><c> isn't</c><00:13:48.820><c> it?</c>

00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.080
We<00:13:49.519><c> should</c><00:13:49.679><c> be</c><00:13:50.000><c> jealous</c><00:13:50.299><c> for</c><00:13:50.539><c> one</c><00:13:50.740><c> another.</c>

00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:55.240

00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:03.519
We've<00:14:01.139><c> not</c><00:14:01.340><c> gone</c><00:14:01.639><c> through</c><00:14:01.960><c> anything,</c><00:14:02.659><c> have</c><00:14:02.679><c> we?</c>

00:14:06.419 --> 00:14:08.879
Just<00:14:07.059><c> think</c><00:14:07.320><c> back</c><00:14:07.580><c> in</c><00:14:07.740><c> your</c><00:14:07.940><c> life.</c>

00:14:10.340 --> 00:14:14.000
We've<00:14:10.779><c> not</c><00:14:11.019><c> had</c><00:14:11.220><c> this</c><00:14:11.639><c> kind</c><00:14:11.899><c> of</c><00:14:12.220><c> trial</c><00:14:12.519><c> and</c><00:14:12.940><c> persecution.</c>

00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.460
Oh,<00:14:15.000><c> I</c><00:14:15.159><c> know,</c><00:14:15.539><c> some</c><00:14:15.860><c> of</c><00:14:16.019><c> us</c><00:14:16.259><c> have</c><00:14:16.419><c> had</c><00:14:17.019><c> more</c><00:14:17.740><c> and</c><00:14:17.740><c> more</c><00:14:18.039><c> pain</c>

Sure,<00:28:40.559><c> you</c><00:28:40.619><c> get</c><00:28:40.920><c> tired.</c>

00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:46.180
But<00:28:42.779><c> not</c><00:28:43.380><c> of</c><00:28:43.819><c> listening</c><00:28:44.200><c> to</c><00:28:44.539><c> the</c><00:28:44.740><c> Word</c><00:28:44.880><c> of</c><00:28:45.240><c> God.</c>

00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:52.079
Not<00:28:47.279><c> of</c><00:28:47.759><c> doing</c><00:28:48.140><c> the</c><00:28:48.500><c> things</c><00:28:49.000><c> that</c><00:28:49.299><c> God</c><00:28:49.640><c> wants</c><00:28:49.940><c> you</c><00:28:50.140><c> to</c><00:28:50.279><c> do.</c>

00:28:52.700 --> 00:28:54.539
So<00:28:52.819><c> we</c><00:28:53.039><c> are</c><00:28:53.359><c> worn</c><00:28:53.660><c> out</c><00:28:53.859><c> with</c><00:28:54.039><c> our</c><00:28:54.259><c> children.</c>

00:28:54.660 --> 00:28:55.799
Has<00:28:54.799><c> it</c><00:28:54.960><c> been</c><00:28:55.160><c> worth</c><00:28:55.380><c> it?</c>

It<00:28:56.400><c> has</c><00:28:56.720><c> been</c><00:28:57.059><c> worth</c><00:28:57.299><c> it.</c>

00:28:58.200 --> 00:28:59.299
Will<00:28:58.380><c> it</c><00:28:58.559><c> be</c><00:28:58.759><c> worth</c><00:28:59.000><c> it?</c>

00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:01.099
It<00:28:59.880><c> will</c><00:29:00.259><c> be</c><00:29:00.579><c> worth</c><00:29:00.799><c> it.</c>

00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:03.980
We<00:29:01.500><c> will</c><00:29:01.839><c> train</c><00:29:02.119><c> up</c><00:29:02.359><c> our</c><00:29:02.599><c> children</c><00:29:02.839><c> in</c><00:29:03.039><c> the</c><00:29:03.240><c> way</c><00:29:03.380><c> they</c><00:29:03.559><c> should</c><00:29:03.779><c> go,</c>

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:10.099
we<00:29:07.440><c> are</c><00:29:07.740><c> going</c><00:29:07.900><c> to</c><00:29:08.119><c> go</c><00:29:08.440><c> forward,</c><00:29:08.799><c> because</c><00:29:09.119><c> this</c><00:29:09.339><c> is</c><00:29:09.559><c> the</c><00:29:09.660><c> only</c><00:29:09.880><c> thing</c>

00:29:10.099 --> 00:29:11.460
that's<00:29:10.720><c> of</c><00:29:10.859><c> any</c><00:29:11.119><c> value.</c>

00:29:11.460 --> 00:29:16.059
And<00:29:11.859><c> Paul</c><00:29:12.299><c> stands</c><00:29:12.660><c> up</c><00:29:12.900><c> in</c><00:29:14.819><c> the</c><00:29:15.220><c> speech</c><00:29:15.420><c> to</c><00:29:15.720><c> the</c><00:29:15.880><c> Jews,</c>

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:18.589
and<00:29:16.240><c> he</c><00:29:16.480><c> tells</c><00:29:16.759><c> them,</c><00:29:17.000><c> here's</c><00:29:17.460><c> my</c><00:29:18.319><c> testimony</c>

00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:23.819
And<00:29:21.099><c> until</c><00:29:21.359><c> he</c><00:29:21.460><c> got</c><00:29:22.099><c> down</c><00:29:22.779><c> to</c><00:29:23.000><c> the</c><00:29:23.240><c> point</c><00:29:23.400><c> where</c><00:29:23.599><c> he</c><00:29:23.720><c> says,</c>

00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:25.640
you're<00:29:24.059><c> going</c><00:29:24.180><c> to</c><00:29:24.339><c> go</c><00:29:24.500><c> on</c><00:29:24.619><c> to</c><00:29:24.799><c> the</c><00:29:24.920><c> Gentiles,</c>

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.900
they<00:29:26.339><c> listened</c><00:29:26.900><c> intently,</c><00:29:27.960><c> because</c><00:29:28.319><c> he</c><00:29:28.599><c> spoke</c><00:29:28.960><c> in</c><00:29:29.240><c> a</c><00:29:29.339><c> Hebrew</c><00:29:29.799><c> tongue.</c>

00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:33.559
And<00:29:31.440><c> then</c><00:29:31.599><c> they</c><00:29:32.019><c> shouted</c><00:29:32.299><c> him</c><00:29:32.640><c> down.</c>

00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:37.440
Last<00:29:36.920><c> chance?</c>

00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:38.720
No.

00:29:40.819 --> 00:29:46.460
Chapter<00:29:41.380><c> 22,</c><00:29:42.000><c> verses</c><00:29:42.299><c> 22</c><00:29:42.819><c> to</c><00:29:43.000><c> 30,</c><00:29:43.859><c> they</c><00:29:44.240><c> hold</c><00:29:44.660><c> a</c><00:29:45.019><c> council</c><00:29:45.400><c> meeting.</c>

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:52.380
They<00:29:49.759><c> want</c><00:29:49.900><c> to</c><00:29:50.140><c> bring</c><00:29:50.279><c> these</c><00:29:50.640><c> accusations</c><00:29:51.200><c> against</c><00:29:51.640><c> them.</c>

00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:54.920
Paul<00:29:53.140><c> says,</c><00:29:53.380><c> I'm</c><00:29:53.519><c> not</c><00:29:53.680><c> ready</c><00:29:53.859><c> for</c><00:29:54.099><c> those</c><00:29:54.400><c> accusations.</c>

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:56.920
So<00:29:55.180><c> he</c><00:29:55.400><c> splits</c><00:29:55.619><c> up</c><00:29:55.859><c> the</c><00:29:56.019><c> meeting,</c><00:29:56.420><c> doesn't</c><00:29:56.599><c> he?</c>

00:29:57.180 --> 00:30:00.980
He<00:29:57.460><c> lets</c><00:29:57.680><c> them</c><00:29:57.940><c> know</c><00:29:58.559><c> that</c><00:29:59.099><c> you</c><00:29:59.279><c> can't</c><00:29:59.579><c> do</c><00:29:59.779><c> this.</c>

00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:05.920
And<00:30:01.579><c> he</c><00:30:01.759><c> divides</c><00:30:02.200><c> them,</c><00:30:02.880><c> as</c><00:30:03.119><c> our</c><00:30:03.279><c> brother</c><00:30:03.539><c> pointed</c><00:30:03.900><c> out</c><00:30:04.619><c> yesterday,</c>

00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:12.720
And<00:30:10.059><c> he</c><00:30:10.220><c> divides</c><00:30:10.579><c> them</c><00:30:10.799><c> and</c><00:30:10.880><c> lets</c><00:30:11.019><c> them</c><00:30:11.240><c> argue</c><00:30:11.619><c> among</c><00:30:11.920><c> themselves,</c>

00:30:13.059 --> 00:30:15.700
because<00:30:13.180><c> they</c><00:30:13.319><c> weren't</c><00:30:13.559><c> there</c><00:30:13.960><c> to</c><00:30:14.140><c> hear</c><00:30:14.339><c> the</c><00:30:14.519><c> word</c><00:30:14.640><c> of</c><00:30:14.900><c> God.</c>

00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:18.140

You've<00:34:11.400><c> still</c><00:34:11.559><c> got</c><00:34:11.780><c> hair.</c>

00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:13.940
It's<00:34:12.500><c> still</c><00:34:12.639><c> the</c><00:34:12.719><c> right</c><00:34:13.000><c> color.</c>

00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:17.639
It's<00:34:14.940><c> just</c><00:34:15.099><c> a</c><00:34:15.260><c> few</c><00:34:15.420><c> of</c><00:34:15.659><c> us</c><00:34:15.860><c> that</c><00:34:16.219><c> have</c><00:34:16.579><c> this</c><00:34:16.900><c> funny</c><00:34:17.280><c> stuff</c>

00:34:24.340 --> 00:34:26.059
It's<00:34:24.500><c> Christ</c><00:34:24.900><c> that</c><00:34:25.239><c> dwelleth</c><00:34:25.460><c> in</c><00:34:25.639><c> you.</c>

Felix,<00:35:37.500><c> wanting</c><00:35:37.719><c> to</c><00:35:37.960><c> do</c><00:35:38.179><c> the</c><00:35:38.780><c> Jews</c><00:35:39.039><c> a</c><00:35:39.280><c> favor,</c>

00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:40.559
just<00:35:39.800><c> left</c><00:35:39.980><c> him</c><00:35:40.179><c> in</c><00:35:40.380><c> prison.</c>

00:35:40.619 --> 00:35:42.440
Oh,<00:35:40.760><c> he'd</c><00:35:41.000><c> like</c><00:35:41.159><c> to</c><00:35:41.300><c> have</c><00:35:41.480><c> gotten</c><00:35:41.659><c> money</c><00:35:41.960><c> from</c><00:35:42.219><c> him</c>

00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:44.000
so<00:35:42.780><c> that</c><00:35:42.960><c> he</c><00:35:43.099><c> could</c><00:35:43.320><c> let</c><00:35:43.559><c> him</c><00:35:43.760><c> go,</c>

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:45.900
but<00:35:44.139><c> he</c><00:35:44.239><c> wanted</c><00:35:44.460><c> to</c><00:35:44.699><c> make</c><00:35:44.880><c> something</c><00:35:45.239><c> out</c><00:35:45.420><c> of</c><00:35:45.559><c> this</c>

00:35:45.900 --> 00:35:50.619
and<00:35:46.320><c> not</c><00:35:46.460><c> to</c><00:35:46.719><c> just</c><00:35:48.179><c> release</c><00:35:50.159><c> a</c><00:35:50.380><c> prisoner</c>

00:35:50.619 --> 00:35:53.579
because<00:35:51.039><c> he</c><00:35:51.860><c> was</c><00:35:52.019><c> not</c><00:35:52.539><c> guilty.</c>

00:35:53.699 --> 00:35:55.820
He<00:35:53.860><c> wanted</c><00:35:54.139><c> money</c><00:35:54.480><c> from</c><00:35:54.760><c> that.</c>

00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:58.519
So<00:35:56.059><c> he</c><00:35:56.059><c> has</c><00:35:56.300><c> to</c><00:35:56.480><c> come</c><00:35:56.639><c> to</c><00:35:56.900><c> trial</c><00:35:57.119><c> before</c><00:35:57.500><c> Festus.</c>

00:35:58.960 --> 00:35:59.639
And<00:35:59.099><c> he</c><00:35:59.280><c> is.</c>

00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:03.079
In<00:36:00.019><c> the</c><00:36:00.199><c> 25th</c><00:36:00.840><c> chapter,</c><00:36:01.199><c> he</c><00:36:01.300><c> is</c><00:36:01.500><c> brought</c><00:36:01.780><c> to</c><00:36:02.059><c> trial.</c>

00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:07.900
13<00:36:03.539><c> to</c><00:36:03.739><c> 21,</c><00:36:04.780><c> Agrippa</c><00:36:05.360><c> is</c><00:36:05.980><c> invited</c><00:36:06.320><c> to</c><00:36:06.579><c> hear</c><00:36:06.760><c> Paul.</c>

00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:11.639
And<00:36:09.139><c> another</c><00:36:10.000><c> opportunity</c><00:36:10.960><c> is</c><00:36:11.340><c> given</c>

00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:15.599
that<00:36:12.099><c> he</c><00:36:12.340><c> might</c><00:36:12.860><c> show</c><00:36:13.679><c> to</c><00:36:14.219><c> the</c><00:36:14.420><c> world</c>

00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:17.440
what<00:36:16.199><c> the</c><00:36:16.539><c> truth</c><00:36:16.699><c> is</c><00:36:16.920><c> all</c><00:36:17.119><c> about.</c>

00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:19.820
And<00:36:17.739><c> he's</c><00:36:17.960><c> willing</c><00:36:18.179><c> to</c><00:36:18.400><c> do</c><00:36:18.579><c> that,</c><00:36:18.840><c> isn't</c><00:36:19.019><c> he?</c>

00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:23.239
And<00:36:21.460><c> so</c><00:36:21.619><c> Paul</c><00:36:21.900><c> makes</c><00:36:22.280><c> his</c><00:36:22.519><c> defense.</c>

00:36:23.659 --> 00:36:28.000
In<00:36:23.760><c> the</c><00:36:24.079><c> 26th</c><00:36:24.940><c> chapter</c><00:36:25.199><c> and</c><00:36:25.360><c> verses</c><00:36:26.480><c> 1</c><00:36:27.000><c> through</c><00:36:27.300><c> 32,</c>

00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:32.099
he<00:36:28.639><c> gives</c><00:36:28.900><c> a</c><00:36:29.320><c> marvelous</c><00:36:30.639><c> exposition</c><00:36:31.639><c> of</c><00:36:31.940><c> truth.</c>

00:36:32.260 --> 00:36:35.579
Almost<00:36:32.820><c> thou</c><00:36:33.159><c> persuadest</c><00:36:33.860><c> me</c><00:36:34.119><c> to</c><00:36:34.219><c> be</c><00:36:34.420><c> a</c><00:36:34.619><c> Christian.</c>

00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:37.699
Is<00:36:36.420><c> that</c><00:36:36.719><c> right?</c>

00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:39.159
You<00:36:37.980><c> don't</c><00:36:38.139><c> have</c><00:36:38.320><c> ears</c><00:36:38.559><c> to</c><00:36:38.860><c> hear.</c>

00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:41.519
You<00:36:39.519><c> don't</c><00:36:39.619><c> have</c><00:36:39.800><c> eyes</c><00:36:40.139><c> to</c><00:36:40.460><c> see.</c>

00:36:42.539 --> 00:36:44.599
You've<00:36:42.719><c> got</c><00:36:42.820><c> too</c><00:36:43.059><c> much</c><00:36:43.320><c> at</c><00:36:43.599><c> stake.</c>

00:36:45.699 --> 00:36:49.340
But<00:36:45.900><c> Paul</c><00:36:46.139><c> knew</c><00:36:46.760><c> what</c><00:36:47.539><c> was</c><00:36:47.820><c> most</c><00:36:48.199><c> important.</c>

00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.179
And<00:36:49.500><c> in</c><00:36:49.659><c> the</c><00:36:50.019><c> freedom</c><00:36:50.300><c> that</c><00:36:50.539><c> he</c><00:36:50.780><c> had,</c>

00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:53.880
shackled<00:36:52.760><c> under</c><00:36:53.039><c> Rome.</c>

00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:56.099
In<00:36:54.519><c> the</c><00:36:54.760><c> freedom</c><00:36:54.980><c> that</c><00:36:55.199><c> we</c><00:36:55.559><c> have,</c>

00:36:56.099 --> 00:36:59.019
shackled<00:36:56.920><c> under</c><00:36:57.139><c> the</c><00:36:57.480><c> flesh</c><00:36:57.760><c> and</c><00:36:58.219><c> the</c><00:36:58.519><c> governments</c>

00:36:59.019 --> 00:37:02.960
that<00:36:59.300><c> we</c><00:36:59.440><c> have</c><00:36:59.739><c> to</c><00:36:59.960><c> go</c><00:37:00.559><c> pay</c><00:37:01.300><c> attention</c><00:37:01.920><c> to.</c>

00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:06.980
We<00:37:03.480><c> give</c><00:37:03.739><c> our</c><00:37:03.960><c> defense</c><00:37:04.659><c> of</c><00:37:05.139><c> the</c><00:37:05.300><c> Word</c><00:37:05.440><c> of</c><00:37:05.679><c> God.</c>

00:37:08.539 --> 00:37:11.099
And<00:37:08.659><c> he</c><00:37:08.760><c> makes,</c><00:37:09.559><c> I</c><00:37:09.980><c> believe,</c>

00:37:13.219 --> 00:37:16.380
a<00:37:13.420><c> speech</c><00:37:13.739><c> that</c><00:37:13.960><c> was</c><00:37:14.420><c> unadvisable.</c>

00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:21.360
It<00:37:17.780><c> says,</c><00:37:18.199><c> I</c><00:37:18.199><c> stand</c><00:37:18.639><c> before</c><00:37:19.159><c> Caesar's</c><00:37:19.940><c> judgment</c><00:37:20.380><c> seat.</c>

00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:24.000
He<00:37:23.340><c> was</c><00:37:23.539><c> human.</c>

00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.360
If<00:37:24.980><c> they</c><00:37:25.239><c> took</c><00:37:25.420><c> him</c><00:37:25.619><c> back</c><00:37:25.820><c> to</c><00:37:25.960><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:28.340
he'd<00:37:26.639><c> be</c><00:37:26.860><c> killed.</c>

00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:33.500
And<00:37:30.599><c> he</c><00:37:30.900><c> appeals</c><00:37:31.559><c> unto</c><00:37:32.199><c> Caesar.</c>

00:37:36.460 --> 00:37:38.639
That<00:37:36.780><c> was</c><00:37:37.179><c> not</c><00:37:37.579><c> right.</c>

00:37:40.260 --> 00:37:44.539
Our<00:37:40.559><c> appeal</c><00:37:41.420><c> must</c><00:37:42.719><c> be</c><00:37:42.960><c> unto</c><00:37:43.199><c> our</c><00:37:43.559><c> God.</c>

00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:47.820
Yes,<00:37:45.880><c> he</c><00:37:46.019><c> was</c><00:37:46.260><c> a</c><00:37:46.300><c> Roman</c><00:37:46.699><c> citizen.</c>

00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:53.480
But<00:37:49.679><c> not</c><00:37:50.199><c> to</c><00:37:50.460><c> take</c><00:37:50.699><c> advantage</c><00:37:51.460><c> of</c><00:37:52.599><c> their</c><00:37:52.940><c> judgment.</c>

00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:59.820
There<00:37:54.000><c> is</c><00:37:54.340><c> no</c><00:37:55.000><c> justice</c><00:37:55.920><c> in</c><00:37:57.500><c> the</c><00:37:57.760><c> systems</c><00:37:58.139><c> of</c><00:37:58.360><c> this</c><00:37:58.639><c> world.</c>

00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:02.360
And<00:38:00.699><c> Paul</c><00:38:00.880><c> paid</c><00:38:01.099><c> a</c><00:38:01.320><c> price.</c>

00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:06.079
Oh,<00:38:03.019><c> God</c><00:38:03.199><c> had</c><00:38:03.440><c> already</c><00:38:03.719><c> told</c><00:38:04.039><c> him</c><00:38:04.219><c> he</c><00:38:04.280><c> was</c><00:38:04.519><c> going</c><00:38:04.719><c> to</c><00:38:04.880><c> go</c><00:38:05.019><c> to</c><00:38:05.219><c> Rome.</c>

00:38:06.659 --> 00:38:11.300
That's<00:38:07.300><c> because</c><00:38:07.699><c> God</c><00:38:08.199><c> knew</c><00:38:09.119><c> the</c><00:38:09.679><c> end</c><00:38:09.940><c> from</c><00:38:10.199><c> the</c><00:38:10.400><c> beginning.</c>

00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:14.659
He<00:38:11.960><c> knew</c><00:38:12.559><c> what</c><00:38:13.360><c> he</c><00:38:13.519><c> would</c><00:38:13.800><c> say.</c>

00:38:14.780 --> 00:38:18.000
He<00:38:15.099><c> knew</c><00:38:15.500><c> how</c><00:38:15.739><c> the</c><00:38:16.039><c> circumstances</c><00:38:16.760><c> would</c><00:38:17.280><c> work</c><00:38:17.599><c> out.</c>

00:38:18.380 --> 00:38:20.239
They<00:38:18.559><c> would</c><00:38:18.760><c> have</c><00:38:19.039><c> still</c><00:38:19.360><c> worked</c><00:38:19.719><c> out</c>

00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:23.340
if<00:38:21.380><c> he</c><00:38:21.559><c> had</c><00:38:21.800><c> left</c><00:38:22.059><c> it</c><00:38:22.239><c> to</c><00:38:22.440><c> God.</c>

00:38:25.019 --> 00:38:26.780
God<00:38:25.239><c> didn't</c><00:38:25.500><c> put</c><00:38:25.679><c> him</c><00:38:25.940><c> down</c><00:38:26.239><c> for</c><00:38:26.519><c> that.</c>

00:38:27.059 --> 00:38:31.739
He<00:38:27.320><c> just</c><00:38:27.780><c> used</c><00:38:28.159><c> now</c><00:38:28.920><c> that</c><00:38:29.940><c> inadvisability</c><00:38:30.900><c> of</c><00:38:31.300><c> speaking</c>

00:38:31.739 --> 00:38:33.840
to<00:38:32.739><c> God's</c><00:38:33.360><c> advantage.</c>

00:38:34.179 --> 00:38:35.760
He<00:38:34.420><c> would</c><00:38:34.739><c> not</c><00:38:34.960><c> give</c><00:38:35.139><c> up</c><00:38:35.420><c> to</c><00:38:35.539><c> him.</c>

00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:38.239
And<00:38:36.139><c> so</c><00:38:36.239><c> he</c><00:38:36.480><c> journeys</c><00:38:36.800><c> as</c><00:38:37.119><c> a</c><00:38:37.360><c> prisoner</c><00:38:37.699><c> to</c><00:38:38.019><c> Rome</c>

00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:41.440
in<00:38:38.699><c> the</c><00:38:38.940><c> 27th</c><00:38:39.780><c> chapter</c><00:38:40.159><c> of</c><00:38:40.440><c> Acts.</c>

Paul<00:47:37.000><c> doesn't</c><00:47:37.440><c> die</c><00:47:37.860><c> if</c><00:47:38.139><c> we</c><00:47:38.400><c> don't</c><00:47:38.699><c> let</c><00:47:38.940><c> him.</c>

00:47:40.099 --> 00:47:41.599
Keep<00:47:40.360><c> him</c><00:47:40.639><c> alive.</c>

00:47:42.739 --> 00:47:45.420
He<00:47:42.860><c> says,</c><00:47:43.380><c> look,</c><00:47:43.699><c> if</c><00:47:43.880><c> your</c><00:47:44.900><c> slave</c>

00:47:45.420 --> 00:47:47.639
owes<00:47:45.719><c> you</c><00:47:45.900><c> anything,</c><00:47:46.179><c> I'll</c><00:47:46.500><c> pay</c><00:47:46.679><c> it.</c>

00:47:48.139 --> 00:47:50.179
That's<00:47:48.539><c> our</c><00:47:48.739><c> attitude,</c><00:47:49.219><c> isn't</c><00:47:49.400><c> it?</c>

00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:53.099
Our<00:47:51.039><c> brother</c><00:47:51.199><c> and</c><00:47:51.440><c> sister</c><00:47:51.699><c> can't</c><00:47:52.159><c> pay</c><00:47:52.380><c> what</c><00:47:52.559><c> it</c><00:47:52.739><c> takes.</c>

00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:54.599
We<00:47:53.699><c> pay</c><00:47:53.980><c> it.</c>

00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:57.699
And<00:47:55.280><c> we</c><00:47:55.420><c> are</c><00:47:55.579><c> happy</c><00:47:55.900><c> and</c><00:47:56.199><c> thrilled</c><00:47:56.440><c> to</c><00:47:56.639><c> do</c><00:47:56.820><c> it.</c>

00:47:58.400 --> 00:47:59.699
Doesn't<00:47:58.559><c> matter</c><00:47:58.739><c> how</c><00:47:58.940><c> much</c><00:47:59.139><c> we've</c><00:47:59.500><c> given</c>

00:47:59.699 --> 00:48:00.699
or<00:47:59.960><c> done</c><00:48:00.179><c> for</c><00:48:00.480><c> others,</c>

00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:03.800
we<00:48:01.139><c> will</c><00:48:01.420><c> pay</c><00:48:01.659><c> it</c><00:48:02.019><c> if</c><00:48:02.239><c> they</c><00:48:02.579><c> need</c><00:48:02.940><c> that</c><00:48:03.260><c> dollars.</c>

00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:08.400
And<00:48:04.699><c> so</c><00:48:04.940><c> he</c><00:48:05.519><c> writes</c><00:48:05.780><c> another</c><00:48:06.179><c> letter</c><00:48:06.460><c> to</c><00:48:06.699><c> the</c><00:48:06.940><c> Ephesians,</c>

00:48:09.500 --> 00:48:12.280
chapter<00:48:10.139><c> one,</c><00:48:10.480><c> verses</c><00:48:10.860><c> 15</c><00:48:11.420><c> through</c><00:48:11.719><c> 16,</c>

00:48:12.420 --> 00:48:14.039
and<00:48:12.579><c> he</c><00:48:12.920><c> prays</c><00:48:13.239><c> for</c><00:48:13.460><c> them.</c>

00:48:14.420 --> 00:48:17.559
And<00:48:14.639><c> he</c><00:48:14.940><c> esteems</c><00:48:15.800><c> himself</c><00:48:16.619><c> last</c>

00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:21.519
that<00:48:18.440><c> Jesus</c><00:48:18.920><c> Christ</c><00:48:19.340><c> might</c><00:48:19.719><c> be</c><00:48:20.380><c> abounding.</c>

00:48:21.539 --> 00:48:23.900
And<00:48:21.800><c> he</c><00:48:21.900><c> writes</c><00:48:22.159><c> another</c><00:48:22.559><c> letter</c><00:48:22.800><c> to</c><00:48:23.039><c> the</c><00:48:23.219><c> Philippians.</c>

00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:25.920
There's<00:48:24.460><c> no</c><00:48:24.619><c> end</c><00:48:24.760><c> to</c><00:48:24.920><c> this</c><00:48:25.179><c> man,</c><00:48:25.360><c> is</c><00:48:25.599><c> there?</c>

00:48:26.360 --> 00:48:28.780
No,<00:48:26.639><c> because</c><00:48:27.360><c> God</c><00:48:27.940><c> knew</c><00:48:28.219><c> his</c><00:48:28.500><c> man,</c>

00:48:28.780 --> 00:48:31.079
and<00:48:28.940><c> he</c><00:48:29.239><c> picked</c><00:48:29.460><c> him</c><00:48:29.679><c> from</c><00:48:30.139><c> the</c><00:48:30.480><c> very</c><00:48:30.880><c> womb</c>

00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:34.099
when<00:48:31.179><c> he</c><00:48:31.320><c> was</c><00:48:31.679><c> separated</c><00:48:32.119><c> from</c><00:48:32.360><c> his</c><00:48:32.599><c> mother's</c><00:48:33.099><c> womb.</c>

00:48:34.500 --> 00:48:36.599
And<00:48:34.659><c> he</c><00:48:34.719><c> was</c><00:48:35.079><c> prepared,</c>

00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:40.440
made<00:48:38.039><c> ready</c><00:48:38.460><c> for</c><00:48:38.739><c> the</c><00:48:38.940><c> work</c><00:48:39.139><c> that</c><00:48:39.300><c> he</c><00:48:39.360><c> had</c><00:48:39.579><c> to</c><00:48:39.840><c> do,</c>

00:48:40.940 --> 00:48:44.059
kept<00:48:41.179><c> safe</c><00:48:41.739><c> even</c><00:48:42.539><c> in</c><00:48:42.860><c> the</c><00:48:43.099><c> hands</c><00:48:43.360><c> of</c><00:48:43.599><c> the</c><00:48:43.760><c> Romans,</c>

00:48:44.260 --> 00:48:45.559
kept<00:48:44.519><c> safe.</c>

00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:48.480
And<00:48:46.380><c> he</c><00:48:46.559><c> thinks</c><00:48:46.800><c> of</c><00:48:46.960><c> them</c><00:48:47.119><c> in</c><00:48:47.300><c> his</c><00:48:47.559><c> heart,</c>

00:48:48.539 --> 00:48:51.260
expresses<00:48:49.000><c> the</c><00:48:49.500><c> confidence</c><00:48:49.920><c> that</c><00:48:50.119><c> he</c><00:48:50.239><c> has</c><00:48:50.480><c> in</c><00:48:50.639><c> his</c><00:48:50.880><c> God,</c>

00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:55.079
and<00:48:51.800><c> he</c><00:48:52.039><c> counts</c><00:48:52.260><c> all</c><00:48:52.920><c> things</c><00:48:53.579><c> lost</c>

00:48:56.159 --> 00:48:57.699
for<00:48:56.679><c> Christ.</c>

00:48:58.199 --> 00:49:02.260
All<00:48:59.099><c> things</c><00:48:59.519><c> lost</c><00:49:00.460><c> for</c><00:49:01.139><c> Christ.</c>

00:49:04.539 --> 00:49:05.780
What<00:49:04.719><c> are</c><00:49:04.820><c> we</c><00:49:05.019><c> counting?</c>

00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:11.480
Is<00:49:08.559><c> there</c><00:49:08.719><c> anything,</c><00:49:10.400><c> anything</c>

00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:15.679

00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:20.699
that<00:49:17.159><c> might</c><00:49:17.500><c> be</c><00:49:18.900><c> hindering</c><00:49:19.380><c> us</c>

00:49:20.780 --> 00:49:23.480
from<00:49:21.480><c> giving</c><00:49:21.780><c> our</c><00:49:22.099><c> all</c>

00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:30.719
Do<00:49:29.119><c> we</c><00:49:29.380><c> recognize</c>

00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:37.280
are<00:49:36.119><c> just</c><00:49:36.579><c> hindrances</c>

00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:40.039
unless<00:49:38.280><c> they're</c><00:49:39.500><c> held</c><00:49:39.760><c> up</c>

00:49:47.219 --> 00:49:48.059
What<00:49:47.579><c> is</c><00:49:47.800><c> it?</c>

00:49:48.239 --> 00:49:52.079
No<00:49:48.480><c> one</c><00:49:48.619><c> can</c><00:49:49.179><c> point</c><00:49:49.480><c> the</c><00:49:49.739><c> finger</c><00:49:50.000><c> at</c><00:49:50.219><c> you</c><00:49:50.579><c> or</c><00:49:50.840><c> me,</c><00:49:51.239><c> nobody.</c>

00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:55.059
No<00:49:52.920><c> man</c><00:49:53.199><c> can</c><00:49:53.480><c> judge</c><00:49:53.739><c> another</c><00:49:54.199><c> one,</c>
