But<00:24:07.380><c> what</c><00:24:07.599><c> was</c><00:24:07.839><c> going</c><00:24:08.119><c> on</c><00:24:08.859><c> while</c><00:24:09.200><c> Moses</c><00:24:09.720><c> was</c><00:24:10.099><c> in</c><00:24:10.259><c> the</c><00:24:10.420><c> mount?</c>

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:15.720

how<00:24:20.140><c> God</c><00:24:20.420><c> defines</c><00:24:20.940><c> the</c><00:24:21.259><c> pathway</c><00:24:21.619><c> back</c><00:24:22.259><c> in</c><00:24:22.900><c> the</c><00:24:23.160><c> aftermath</c><00:24:23.599><c> of</c><00:24:23.920><c> sin.</c>

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:27.579
I<00:24:25.279><c> would</c><00:24:25.480><c> imagine</c><00:24:25.880><c> that</c><00:24:26.119><c> most</c><00:24:26.400><c> of</c><00:24:26.579><c> us</c><00:24:26.700><c> have</c><00:24:26.940><c> taken</c><00:24:27.140><c> a</c><00:24:27.299><c> look</c><00:24:27.420><c> at</c>

why<00:24:49.740><c> these</c><00:24:50.059><c> things</c><00:24:50.339><c> took</c><00:24:50.640><c> place?</c>

00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:55.859
And<00:24:51.819><c> you</c><00:24:51.940><c> can</c><00:24:52.220><c> see</c><00:24:52.380><c> a</c><00:24:52.640><c> digression</c><00:24:53.279><c> that</c><00:24:53.920><c> really</c><00:24:54.279><c> helps</c><00:24:54.519><c> to</c><00:24:54.859><c> summarize</c><00:24:55.339><c> what</c><00:24:55.619><c> was</c>

00:24:55.859 --> 00:24:57.839
taking<00:24:56.119><c> place</c><00:24:56.519><c> with</c><00:24:56.720><c> the</c><00:24:56.880><c> people.</c>

00:24:58.299 --> 00:25:01.460
Moses<00:24:58.400><c> was</c><00:24:58.740><c> gone</c><00:24:59.180><c> for</c><00:24:59.640><c> 40</c><00:24:59.920><c> days</c><00:25:00.299><c> in</c><00:25:00.460><c> the</c><00:25:00.619><c> mount.</c>

00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:06.920
40<00:25:02.480><c> days</c><00:25:02.920><c> Moses</c><00:25:03.319><c> was</c><00:25:03.619><c> gone</c><00:25:03.980><c> after</c><00:25:04.460><c> they</c><00:25:04.700><c> made</c><00:25:04.940><c> this</c><00:25:05.500><c> covenant</c><00:25:05.880><c> together.</c>

00:25:07.339 --> 00:25:11.119
And<00:25:07.519><c> so</c><00:25:07.640><c> what</c><00:25:07.839><c> happens</c><00:25:08.200><c> here</c><00:25:08.460><c> in</c><00:25:08.660><c> Exodus</c><00:25:08.980><c> 32</c><00:25:09.559><c> and</c><00:25:09.779><c> verse</c><00:25:10.079><c> 1</c><00:25:10.599><c> is</c>

00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:14.279
we're<00:25:11.359><c> told</c><00:25:11.599><c> that</c><00:25:11.799><c> the</c><00:25:12.019><c> people</c><00:25:12.220><c> become</c><00:25:13.059><c> impatient.</c>

00:25:15.140 --> 00:25:18.640
Exodus<00:25:15.400><c> 24</c><00:25:15.880><c> and</c><00:25:16.000><c> verse</c><00:25:16.220><c> 18</c><00:25:16.700><c> tells</c><00:25:16.980><c> us</c><00:25:17.240><c> that</c><00:25:17.380><c> it</c><00:25:17.500><c> was</c><00:25:17.859><c> 40</c><00:25:18.180><c> days</c>

00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:24.559
So<00:25:20.240><c> they</c><00:25:20.500><c> said</c><00:25:20.660><c> that</c><00:25:20.880><c> Moses</c><00:25:21.220><c> delays</c><00:25:21.640><c> to</c><00:25:21.920><c> come</c><00:25:22.079><c> down.</c><00:25:22.960><c> So</c><00:25:22.960><c> what's</c><00:25:23.500><c> going</c><00:25:23.740><c> on?</c>

00:25:24.579 --> 00:25:28.160
They<00:25:24.819><c> lose</c><00:25:25.180><c> confidence</c><00:25:25.799><c> in</c><00:25:26.099><c> God.</c><00:25:26.660><c> We</c><00:25:26.900><c> don't</c><00:25:27.140><c> know</c><00:25:27.259><c> what's</c><00:25:27.619><c> become</c><00:25:27.819><c> of</c><00:25:28.000><c> him.</c>

00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:30.480
Sure,<00:25:28.440><c> he's</c><00:25:28.740><c> made</c><00:25:28.920><c> these</c><00:25:29.220><c> promises</c><00:25:29.660><c> that</c><00:25:29.900><c> he's</c><00:25:30.140><c> going</c><00:25:30.240><c> to</c><00:25:30.339><c> go</c>

before<00:25:30.900><c> us.</c>

00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:34.180
But<00:25:32.059><c> where</c><00:25:32.579><c> is</c><00:25:33.180><c> where</c><00:25:33.460><c> is</c><00:25:33.599><c> he</c><00:25:33.759><c> now?</c>

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:37.220
I<00:25:34.640><c> mean,</c><00:25:34.640><c> Moses</c><00:25:34.980><c> is</c><00:25:35.180><c> his</c><00:25:35.460><c> representative</c><00:25:35.920><c> and</c><00:25:36.180><c> he's</c><00:25:36.420><c> been</c><00:25:36.680><c> gone</c><00:25:36.920><c> for</c>

00:25:37.220 --> 00:25:38.279
40<00:25:37.500><c> days.</c>

00:25:38.539 --> 00:25:42.099
And<00:25:39.019><c> so</c><00:25:39.160><c> what</c><00:25:39.299><c> they</c><00:25:39.579><c> do</c><00:25:39.720><c> when</c><00:25:39.859><c> they</c><00:25:40.160><c> lose</c><00:25:40.500><c> confidence</c><00:25:41.079><c> in</c><00:25:41.380><c> God,</c>

00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:46.519
who<00:25:42.700><c> they</c><00:25:43.000><c> can't</c><00:25:43.440><c> see,</c><00:25:44.539><c> is</c><00:25:44.660><c> they</c><00:25:44.940><c> build</c><00:25:45.200><c> something</c><00:25:45.720><c> that</c><00:25:46.259><c> they</c>

can<00:25:46.819><c> see.</c>

00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:50.480
Because<00:25:47.799><c> they're</c><00:25:48.140><c> no</c><00:25:48.440><c> longer</c><00:25:48.799><c> conscious</c><00:25:49.380><c> of</c><00:25:49.579><c> God's</c><00:25:50.099><c> presence.</c>

00:25:50.819 --> 00:25:53.619
So<00:25:51.000><c> they</c><00:25:51.240><c> say,</c><00:25:51.740><c> make</c><00:25:51.740><c> us</c><00:25:52.079><c> gods</c><00:25:52.359><c> to</c><00:25:52.640><c> go</c><00:25:52.799><c> before</c><00:25:53.200><c> us.</c>

00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:57.480
And<00:25:54.140><c> when</c><00:25:54.259><c> you</c><00:25:54.519><c> read</c><00:25:54.779><c> Exodus</c><00:25:55.240><c> 23</c><00:25:55.819><c> and</c><00:25:56.000><c> verse</c><00:25:56.299><c> 20,</c><00:25:57.039><c> those</c><00:25:57.279><c> are</c>

the<00:25:57.640><c> exact</c><00:25:58.200><c> words</c><00:25:58.559><c> that</c><00:25:58.819><c> God</c><00:25:59.059><c> said</c><00:25:59.279><c> he</c><00:25:59.440><c> would</c><00:25:59.579><c> do</c><00:25:59.740><c> for</c><00:25:59.920><c> them.</c>

00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:01.660
I<00:26:00.259><c> will</c><00:26:00.500><c> go</c><00:26:00.819><c> before</c><00:26:01.279><c> you.</c>

00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:04.480
And<00:26:02.299><c> they</c><00:26:02.559><c> say,</c><00:26:02.740><c> well,</c><00:26:03.220><c> we</c><00:26:03.279><c> don't</c><00:26:03.460><c> really</c><00:26:03.819><c> believe</c><00:26:04.099><c> it.</c>

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:06.940
So<00:26:05.180><c> we're</c><00:26:05.440><c> going</c><00:26:05.539><c> to</c><00:26:05.700><c> build</c><00:26:05.859><c> our</c><00:26:06.140><c> own</c><00:26:06.380><c> gods.</c><00:26:06.640><c> We're</c><00:26:06.779><c> going</c><00:26:06.859><c> to</c>

put<00:26:07.079><c> our</c><00:26:07.319><c> trust</c><00:26:07.519><c> in</c><00:26:07.720><c> ourselves.</c>

00:26:09.140 --> 00:26:12.059
And<00:26:09.339><c> those</c><00:26:09.559><c> are</c><00:26:09.740><c> the</c><00:26:09.900><c> things</c><00:26:10.039><c> that</c><00:26:10.200><c> are</c><00:26:10.319><c> going</c><00:26:10.420><c> to</c><00:26:10.539><c> go</c><00:26:10.700><c> before</c><00:26:11.059><c> us.</c>

00:26:12.099 --> 00:26:15.559
And<00:26:12.319><c> when</c><00:26:12.460><c> they</c><00:26:12.700><c> do</c><00:26:12.880><c> that,</c><00:26:14.000><c> when</c><00:26:14.180><c> they</c><00:26:14.440><c> replace</c><00:26:14.859><c> God</c><00:26:15.180><c> with</c><00:26:15.380><c> the</c>

00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:31.099
And<00:26:28.599><c> the</c><00:26:28.779><c> result</c><00:26:29.059><c> is</c><00:26:29.259><c> that</c><00:26:29.420><c> they</c><00:26:29.640><c> fall</c><00:26:29.920><c> quickly</c><00:26:30.440><c> out</c><00:26:30.619><c> of</c><00:26:30.720><c> the</c><00:26:30.880><c> way.</c>

00:26:31.339 --> 00:26:34.759
They<00:26:31.579><c> turn</c><00:26:31.880><c> aside</c><00:26:32.180><c> quickly</c><00:26:32.619><c> out</c><00:26:32.799><c> of</c><00:26:32.920><c> the</c><00:26:33.039><c> way</c><00:26:33.220><c> commanded,</c><00:26:34.640><c> is</c>

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:39.839
what<00:26:34.980><c> God</c><00:26:35.299><c> says</c><00:26:35.599><c> to</c><00:26:35.839><c> Moses</c><00:26:36.339><c> in</c><00:26:36.720><c> Exodus</c><00:26:37.119><c> 32</c><00:26:37.980><c> and</c><00:26:38.559><c> verse</c><00:26:38.859><c> 8.</c>

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:49.140
And<00:26:46.160><c> we</c><00:26:46.380><c> wonder</c><00:26:46.660><c> what</c><00:26:47.039><c> is</c><00:26:47.460><c> wrong</c><00:26:47.680><c> with</c><00:26:47.880><c> these</c><00:26:48.180><c> people.</c>

00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:18.119
the<00:29:16.019><c> land</c><00:29:16.200><c> of</c><00:29:16.400><c> Egypt,</c><00:29:16.940><c> have</c><00:29:17.099><c> corrupted</c><00:29:17.559><c> themselves.</c>

00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:20.720
They<00:29:18.519><c> have</c><00:29:18.740><c> turned</c><00:29:19.019><c> aside</c><00:29:19.339><c> quickly</c><00:29:19.799><c> out</c><00:29:19.940><c> of</c><00:29:20.039><c> the</c><00:29:20.180><c> way</c><00:29:20.299><c> which</c><00:29:20.500><c> I</c>

00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:21.460
commanded<00:29:21.079><c> them,</c>

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:25.180
and<00:29:21.880><c> they</c><00:29:22.039><c> have</c><00:29:22.200><c> made</c><00:29:22.759><c> them</c><00:29:23.019><c> a</c><00:29:23.160><c> molten</c><00:29:23.420><c> calf,</c><00:29:23.859><c> and</c><00:29:24.019><c> have</c><00:29:24.220><c> worshiped</c><00:29:24.660><c> it,</c>

00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.099
These<00:29:27.880><c> be</c><00:29:28.099><c> thy</c><00:29:28.299><c> gods,</c><00:29:28.619><c> O</c><00:29:28.779><c> Israel,</c><00:29:29.220><c> which</c><00:29:29.420><c> have</c><00:29:29.680><c> brought</c><00:29:29.859><c> thee</c>

00:29:30.099 --> 00:29:31.660
up<00:29:30.339><c> out</c><00:29:30.539><c> of</c><00:29:30.660><c> the</c><00:29:30.819><c> land</c><00:29:31.039><c> of</c><00:29:31.259><c> Egypt.</c>

00:29:31.660 --> 00:29:35.039
And<00:29:32.180><c> he</c><00:29:32.339><c> says</c><00:29:32.599><c> that</c><00:29:32.799><c> he's</c><00:29:33.059><c> going</c><00:29:33.319><c> to</c><00:29:33.519><c> consume</c><00:29:33.920><c> them.</c>

00:29:36.019 --> 00:29:38.519
All<00:29:36.180><c> of</c><00:29:36.339><c> the</c><00:29:36.519><c> things</c><00:29:36.720><c> that</c><00:29:36.980><c> Moses</c><00:29:37.339><c> had</c><00:29:37.619><c> just</c><00:29:37.980><c> heard</c><00:29:38.160><c> over</c><00:29:38.400><c> the</c>

00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:48.839
And<00:29:43.660><c> now</c><00:29:43.940><c> he's</c><00:29:44.200><c> instructed</c><00:29:44.819><c> to</c><00:29:45.680><c> go</c><00:29:45.920><c> down</c><00:29:46.099><c> to</c><00:29:46.259><c> the</c><00:29:46.420><c> people</c><00:29:46.920><c> because</c><00:29:47.779><c> God's</c><00:29:48.319><c> going</c><00:29:48.519><c> to</c>

destroy<00:29:49.180><c> them.</c>

00:29:50.900 --> 00:29:54.440
But<00:29:51.019><c> Moses</c><00:29:51.420><c> appeals</c><00:29:51.940><c> to</c><00:29:52.200><c> God</c><00:29:52.400><c> to</c><00:29:52.640><c> not</c><00:29:52.880><c> destroy</c><00:29:53.380><c> them,</c><00:29:54.140><c> appeals</c>

00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:56.700
to<00:29:54.660><c> him</c><00:29:54.799><c> based</c><00:29:55.119><c> on</c><00:29:55.299><c> the</c><00:29:55.579><c> promises</c><00:29:55.880><c> that</c><00:29:56.119><c> he</c><00:29:56.259><c> had</c><00:29:56.480><c> made.</c>

00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:59.799
And<00:29:57.079><c> so</c><00:29:57.240><c> God</c><00:29:57.559><c> refrains,</c><00:29:58.079><c> he</c><00:29:58.220><c> doesn't</c><00:29:58.500><c> forgive</c><00:29:58.900><c> them</c><00:29:59.079><c> at</c><00:29:59.220><c> this</c><00:29:59.500><c> point,</c>

00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:04.779
but<00:30:00.380><c> God</c><00:30:00.740><c> refrains</c><00:30:01.319><c> and</c><00:30:01.539><c> holds</c><00:30:01.779><c> off</c><00:30:03.160><c> and</c><00:30:03.500><c> allows</c><00:30:03.819><c> Moses</c><00:30:04.359><c> to</c>

00:30:04.779 --> 00:30:05.859
see<00:30:05.039><c> for</c><00:30:05.259><c> himself</c>

00:30:05.859 --> 00:30:09.720
what<00:30:06.819><c> it</c><00:30:07.019><c> is</c><00:30:07.220><c> that</c><00:30:07.480><c> God</c><00:30:07.779><c> had</c><00:30:08.099><c> already</c><00:30:08.519><c> seen</c><00:30:08.779><c> was</c><00:30:09.059><c> taking</c><00:30:09.339><c> place</c>

00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.339
And<00:30:11.599><c> so</c><00:30:11.720><c> Moses</c><00:30:12.119><c> and</c><00:30:12.380><c> Joshua</c><00:30:12.799><c> begin</c><00:30:13.160><c> the</c><00:30:13.440><c> journey</c><00:30:13.680><c> going</c><00:30:14.000><c> down</c>

00:30:14.339 --> 00:30:15.319
the<00:30:14.500><c> mount.</c>

00:30:15.779 --> 00:30:19.740
And<00:30:16.000><c> Joshua</c><00:30:16.539><c> thinks</c><00:30:17.380><c> that</c><00:30:17.559><c> there's</c><00:30:17.799><c> a</c><00:30:18.019><c> war</c><00:30:18.160><c> going</c><00:30:18.440><c> on</c><00:30:18.579><c> in</c><00:30:18.720><c> the</c><00:30:18.920><c> camp.</c>

00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:22.779
Such<00:30:19.960><c> was</c><00:30:20.220><c> the</c><00:30:20.440><c> tumult</c><00:30:20.759><c> of</c><00:30:20.940><c> what</c><00:30:21.079><c> was</c><00:30:21.319><c> taking</c><00:30:21.559><c> place,</c><00:30:22.680><c> but</c>

00:30:22.779 --> 00:30:24.279
Moses<00:30:23.099><c> knew</c><00:30:23.319><c> better.</c>

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:27.039
Moses<00:30:25.039><c> knew</c><00:30:25.279><c> what</c><00:30:25.440><c> was</c><00:30:25.680><c> taking</c><00:30:25.900><c> place.</c>

00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:29.980
And<00:30:27.579><c> as</c><00:30:27.799><c> he</c><00:30:27.980><c> looked</c><00:30:28.180><c> from</c><00:30:28.400><c> an</c><00:30:28.619><c> elevated</c><00:30:28.920><c> position</c><00:30:29.500><c> over</c><00:30:29.759><c> the</c>

00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.640
of<00:30:31.200><c> where</c><00:30:31.359><c> the</c><00:30:31.579><c> camp</c><00:30:31.740><c> of</c><00:30:31.920><c> Israel</c><00:30:32.220><c> would</c><00:30:32.380><c> have</c><00:30:32.519><c> been</c><00:30:32.700><c> spread,</c>

00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:37.579
the<00:30:34.579><c> wickedness</c><00:30:34.940><c> would</c><00:30:35.079><c> have</c><00:30:35.299><c> filled</c><00:30:35.420><c> his</c><00:30:35.740><c> eyes,</c><00:30:37.039><c> and</c><00:30:37.240><c> Moses</c>

00:30:37.579 --> 00:30:39.640
jumped<00:30:37.900><c> immediately</c><00:30:38.380><c> into</c><00:30:38.660><c> action.</c>

00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:45.799
What<00:30:40.440><c> could</c><00:30:40.640><c> he</c><00:30:40.980><c> possibly</c><00:30:41.480><c> do</c><00:30:42.000><c> to</c><00:30:42.740><c> save</c><00:30:43.099><c> this</c><00:30:43.380><c> people</c><00:30:43.700><c> from</c><00:30:43.960><c> getting</c><00:30:44.200><c> destroyed</c><00:30:45.059><c> as</c>

a<00:30:46.000><c> result</c><00:30:46.240><c> of</c><00:30:46.400><c> their</c><00:30:46.660><c> disobedience?</c>

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:51.019
And<00:30:48.559><c> we're</c><00:30:48.680><c> going</c><00:30:48.740><c> to</c><00:30:48.819><c> see</c><00:30:48.940><c> the</c><00:30:49.200><c> process</c><00:30:49.599><c> laid</c><00:30:49.839><c> out</c><00:30:50.000><c> that</c><00:30:50.200><c> Moses</c><00:30:50.640><c> goes</c>

00:30:51.019 --> 00:30:52.019
through<00:30:51.200><c> with</c><00:30:51.400><c> the</c><00:30:51.599><c> people</c>

00:30:52.019 --> 00:30:57.160
of<00:30:52.519><c> where</c><00:30:52.660><c> he</c><00:30:53.019><c> jumps</c><00:30:53.380><c> into</c><00:30:53.759><c> action</c><00:30:54.319><c> and</c><00:30:55.160><c> he</c><00:30:55.299><c> does</c><00:30:55.519><c> his</c><00:30:55.740><c> very</c><00:30:56.099><c> best</c><00:30:56.579><c> to</c>

00:30:57.160 --> 00:30:58.799
bring<00:30:57.400><c> the</c><00:30:57.640><c> people</c><00:30:57.880><c> along.</c>

00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:02.920
We're<00:30:59.480><c> going</c><00:30:59.539><c> to</c><00:30:59.700><c> see,</c><00:31:00.140><c> though,</c><00:31:00.599><c> that</c><00:31:00.779><c> Moses</c><00:31:01.200><c> is</c><00:31:01.640><c> also</c><00:31:02.000><c> learning</c>

00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:05.660
how<00:31:03.160><c> it</c><00:31:03.339><c> is</c><00:31:03.500><c> that</c><00:31:03.680><c> the</c><00:31:03.980><c> relationship</c><00:31:04.500><c> is</c><00:31:04.759><c> to</c><00:31:04.880><c> be</c><00:31:05.180><c> recovered</c><00:31:05.460><c> in</c>

00:31:05.660 --> 00:31:07.420
the<00:31:05.920><c> aftermath</c><00:31:06.299><c> of</c><00:31:06.660><c> sin.</c>

00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:10.420
So<00:31:08.420><c> take</c><00:31:08.579><c> a</c><00:31:08.700><c> look</c><00:31:08.799><c> at</c><00:31:08.920><c> what</c><00:31:09.079><c> Moses</c><00:31:09.460><c> does.</c>

00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:13.960
He<00:31:10.980><c> first</c><00:31:11.339><c> requires</c><00:31:11.839><c> that</c><00:31:12.059><c> the</c><00:31:12.279><c> people</c><00:31:12.559><c> confess</c><00:31:13.140><c> and</c><00:31:13.559><c> reject</c>

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:15.099
their<00:31:14.299><c> sin.</c>

00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.839
So<00:31:15.640><c> what</c><00:31:15.779><c> he</c><00:31:15.960><c> does</c><00:31:16.140><c> is</c><00:31:16.299><c> he</c><00:31:16.440><c> goes</c><00:31:16.740><c> down</c><00:31:17.039><c> and</c><00:31:17.220><c> he</c><00:31:17.279><c> goes</c><00:31:17.480><c> straight</c>

00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:18.619
to<00:31:18.019><c> the</c><00:31:18.259><c> source,</c>

00:31:18.619 --> 00:31:22.279
grabs<00:31:19.380><c> the</c><00:31:19.759><c> calf</c><00:31:20.059><c> and</c><00:31:20.700><c> grinds</c><00:31:21.140><c> it</c><00:31:21.240><c> to</c><00:31:21.480><c> powder.</c>

00:31:22.660 --> 00:31:25.680
Then<00:31:22.839><c> he</c><00:31:23.059><c> goes</c><00:31:23.319><c> and</c><00:31:23.500><c> he</c><00:31:23.720><c> forces</c><00:31:23.960><c> them</c><00:31:24.160><c> to</c><00:31:24.460><c> drink</c><00:31:24.660><c> it</c><00:31:24.839><c> in</c><00:31:24.900><c> verse</c><00:31:25.220><c> 20.</c>

00:31:26.059 --> 00:31:28.500

00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:23.140

00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:37.480
Aaron<00:32:36.200><c> doesn't</c><00:32:36.539><c> take</c><00:32:36.880><c> accountability.</c>

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:40.480
He<00:32:37.799><c> says</c><00:32:38.039><c> the</c><00:32:38.319><c> same</c><00:32:38.559><c> thing</c><00:32:38.819><c> basically</c><00:32:39.259><c> that</c><00:32:39.519><c> Saul</c><00:32:39.799><c> says</c><00:32:40.079><c> in</c><00:32:40.279><c> 1</c>

00:32:49.900 --> 00:32:54.519
But<00:32:50.039><c> the</c><00:32:50.279><c> reality</c><00:32:50.740><c> is</c><00:32:51.579><c> that</c><00:32:52.279><c> Aaron</c><00:32:52.519><c> failed</c><00:32:52.980><c> to</c><00:32:53.240><c> lead</c><00:32:53.460><c> the</c><00:32:53.720><c> people.</c>

00:33:00.140 --> 00:33:03.380
It's<00:33:00.460><c> interesting</c><00:33:00.859><c> to</c><00:33:01.119><c> go</c><00:33:01.339><c> through</c><00:33:01.880><c> and</c><00:33:02.380><c> to</c><00:33:02.619><c> Bible</c><00:33:02.940><c> mark</c><00:33:03.140><c> this</c>

He<00:33:47.039><c> fashions</c><00:33:47.420><c> it</c><00:33:47.599><c> with</c><00:33:47.819><c> a</c><00:33:48.000><c> graving</c><00:33:48.359><c> tool,</c><00:33:48.680><c> which</c><00:33:48.900><c> means</c><00:33:49.140><c> that</c>

00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:50.799
he<00:33:49.599><c> compresses</c><00:33:50.059><c> it</c><00:33:50.240><c> in</c><00:33:50.400><c> a</c><00:33:50.579><c> mold.</c>

00:33:51.180 --> 00:33:55.599
So<00:33:51.319><c> there's</c><00:33:51.539><c> a</c><00:33:51.660><c> very</c><00:33:51.920><c> deliberate</c><00:33:52.299><c> effort</c><00:33:52.680><c> there</c><00:33:52.900><c> of</c><00:33:53.140><c> gathering</c><00:33:53.440><c> the</c><00:33:53.759><c> materials,</c><00:33:54.920><c> melting</c><00:33:55.160><c> it,</c>

00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:59.359
making<00:33:56.259><c> the</c><00:33:56.559><c> mold,</c><00:33:57.420><c> compressing</c><00:33:57.839><c> it</c><00:33:57.980><c> in</c><00:33:58.119><c> the</c><00:33:58.299><c> mold</c><00:33:58.480><c> to</c><00:33:58.660><c> make</c><00:33:58.859><c> a</c><00:33:59.099><c> calf.</c>

00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:03.539
Then<00:33:59.960><c> after</c><00:34:00.500><c> he</c><00:34:00.720><c> makes</c><00:34:00.980><c> it,</c><00:34:01.559><c> he</c><00:34:01.640><c> goes</c><00:34:01.980><c> on</c><00:34:02.299><c> to</c><00:34:02.500><c> construct</c><00:34:02.920><c> an</c><00:34:03.240><c> altar.</c>

00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:05.359
He<00:34:04.279><c> proclaims</c><00:34:04.779><c> a</c><00:34:05.000><c> feast.</c>

00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:08.079
He<00:34:05.960><c> instructs</c><00:34:06.559><c> the</c><00:34:06.720><c> people</c><00:34:06.940><c> to</c><00:34:07.220><c> worship.</c>

00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:11.119
Can<00:34:08.280><c> you</c><00:34:08.480><c> see</c><00:34:08.639><c> how</c><00:34:08.820><c> there</c><00:34:08.980><c> was</c><00:34:09.219><c> so</c><00:34:09.559><c> much</c><00:34:09.780><c> more</c><00:34:10.139><c> involved</c><00:34:10.539><c> here</c>

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:13.639
than<00:34:11.519><c> just</c><00:34:12.219><c> tossing</c><00:34:12.639><c> it</c><00:34:12.760><c> into</c><00:34:12.960><c> the</c><00:34:13.239><c> fire?</c>

00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:16.460
And<00:34:14.239><c> then</c><00:34:14.780><c> out</c><00:34:15.059><c> comes</c><00:34:15.340><c> the</c><00:34:15.639><c> calf.</c>

00:34:16.980 --> 00:34:19.920
So<00:34:17.320><c> what's</c><00:34:17.860><c> the</c><00:34:18.099><c> lesson</c><00:34:18.400><c> here</c><00:34:18.699><c> for</c><00:34:18.900><c> us?</c>

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:22.800
Well,<00:34:20.099><c> there's</c><00:34:20.340><c> a</c><00:34:20.480><c> couple</c><00:34:20.639><c> of</c><00:34:20.880><c> things</c><00:34:21.079><c> that</c><00:34:21.340><c> come</c><00:34:21.500><c> to</c><00:34:21.699><c> the</c><00:34:21.940><c> forefront.</c>

00:34:23.059 --> 00:34:25.539
The<00:34:23.280><c> first</c><00:34:23.460><c> is</c><00:34:23.639><c> that</c><00:34:23.719><c> we</c><00:34:23.880><c> have</c><00:34:24.139><c> to</c><00:34:24.380><c> accept</c><00:34:24.659><c> responsibility</c>

00:34:25.539 --> 00:34:27.619
when<00:34:25.760><c> we've</c><00:34:26.039><c> done</c><00:34:26.199><c> the</c><00:34:26.440><c> wrong</c><00:34:26.659><c> thing.</c>

00:34:27.739 --> 00:34:30.860
It's<00:34:28.179><c> so</c><00:34:28.440><c> easy</c><00:34:28.699><c> for</c><00:34:28.940><c> us</c><00:34:29.139><c> to</c><00:34:29.340><c> blame</c><00:34:29.579><c> other</c><00:34:29.880><c> people</c><00:34:30.179><c> of,</c><00:34:30.699><c> well,</c>

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:33.159
you<00:34:31.139><c> know,</c><00:34:31.300><c> everybody</c><00:34:31.599><c> else</c><00:34:31.980><c> is</c><00:34:32.519><c> doing</c><00:34:32.679><c> this.</c>

00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:37.840
Or,<00:34:33.980><c> you</c><00:34:34.000><c> know,</c><00:34:34.239><c> nobody</c><00:34:34.460><c> else</c><00:34:34.800><c> really</c><00:34:35.139><c> attends</c><00:34:35.420><c> all</c><00:34:35.659><c> the</c><00:34:35.800><c> ecclesial</c><00:34:36.179><c> functions</c><00:34:36.679><c> or</c>

00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:40.079
nobody<00:34:38.179><c> else</c><00:34:38.400><c> really</c><00:34:38.659><c> lives</c><00:34:38.840><c> the</c><00:34:39.119><c> truth</c><00:34:39.300><c> all</c><00:34:39.539><c> the</c><00:34:39.719><c> time.</c>

00:34:40.340 --> 00:34:43.699
And<00:34:40.539><c> we</c><00:34:40.699><c> kind</c><00:34:40.880><c> of</c><00:34:41.460><c> take</c><00:34:41.679><c> the</c><00:34:41.920><c> focus</c><00:34:42.199><c> off</c><00:34:42.460><c> of</c><00:34:42.639><c> ourself</c><00:34:43.000><c> very</c><00:34:43.380><c> quickly.</c>

00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:46.079
I<00:34:44.159><c> mean,</c><00:34:44.219><c> what</c><00:34:44.380><c> did</c><00:34:44.579><c> Adam</c><00:34:44.760><c> do</c><00:34:44.920><c> in</c><00:34:45.079><c> the</c><00:34:45.280><c> garden?</c>

00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:47.639
Adam,<00:34:46.980><c> what</c><00:34:47.179><c> have</c><00:34:47.320><c> you</c><00:34:47.480><c> done?</c>

00:34:47.780 --> 00:34:50.820
Well,<00:34:47.920><c> the</c><00:34:48.039><c> woman</c><00:34:48.320><c> that</c><00:34:48.539><c> you</c><00:34:48.699><c> gave</c><00:34:48.980><c> me,</c><00:34:49.699><c> she</c><00:34:50.000><c> gave</c><00:34:50.179><c> me</c><00:34:50.360><c> the</c><00:34:50.559><c> fruit</c><00:34:50.679><c> and</c>

00:34:50.820 --> 00:34:51.340
then<00:34:50.940><c> I</c><00:34:51.039><c> ate</c><00:34:51.119><c> it,</c><00:34:51.219><c> right?</c>

00:34:51.340 --> 00:34:54.260
The<00:34:51.559><c> first</c><00:34:51.719><c> thing</c><00:34:51.900><c> out</c><00:34:52.000><c> of</c><00:34:52.079><c> his</c><00:34:52.360><c> mouth</c><00:34:52.659><c> is</c><00:34:53.159><c> somebody</c><00:34:53.440><c> else's</c><00:34:53.920><c> name.</c>

00:34:54.260 --> 00:34:57.239
And<00:34:54.960><c> a</c><00:34:55.079><c> lot</c><00:34:55.239><c> of</c><00:34:55.340><c> the</c><00:34:55.519><c> times</c><00:34:55.739><c> the</c><00:34:55.960><c> first</c><00:34:56.139><c> things</c><00:34:56.360><c> out</c><00:34:56.559><c> of</c><00:34:56.699><c> our</c><00:34:56.880><c> mouth</c><00:34:57.079><c> or</c>

00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:59.099
the<00:34:57.360><c> first</c><00:34:57.559><c> thing</c><00:34:57.699><c> that</c><00:34:57.840><c> comes</c><00:34:58.079><c> to</c><00:34:58.340><c> mind</c><00:34:58.519><c> to</c><00:34:58.780><c> us</c>

00:34:59.099 --> 00:35:02.360
is<00:34:59.599><c> what</c><00:34:59.860><c> somebody</c><00:35:00.219><c> else</c><00:35:00.519><c> has</c><00:35:00.760><c> done</c><00:35:00.900><c> that</c><00:35:01.159><c> somehow</c><00:35:01.579><c> justifies</c>

00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:04.420
our<00:35:03.079><c> wrong</c><00:35:03.320><c> behavior.</c>

00:35:04.820 --> 00:35:06.480
That's<00:35:05.179><c> not</c><00:35:05.460><c> what</c><00:35:05.599><c> we</c><00:35:05.880><c> should</c><00:35:05.980><c> be</c><00:35:06.219><c> doing.</c>

00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:12.420
We<00:35:07.000><c> need</c><00:35:07.280><c> to</c><00:35:07.599><c> accept</c><00:35:07.940><c> responsibility</c><00:35:08.880><c> for</c><00:35:09.219><c> our</c><00:35:09.539><c> decisions</c><00:35:10.239><c> immediately</c><00:35:11.119><c> when</c><00:35:11.760><c> they're</c><00:35:11.960><c> brought</c><00:35:12.179><c> to</c>

00:35:12.420 --> 00:35:13.559
our<00:35:12.619><c> attention.</c>

00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:17.219
And<00:35:14.079><c> we</c><00:35:14.280><c> can't</c><00:35:14.699><c> downplay</c><00:35:15.179><c> the</c><00:35:15.539><c> seriousness</c><00:35:16.039><c> of</c><00:35:16.820><c> the</c><00:35:17.039><c> things</c>

00:35:17.219 --> 00:35:19.079
that<00:35:17.440><c> we</c><00:35:17.579><c> do</c><00:35:17.800><c> against</c><00:35:18.139><c> God.</c>

00:35:19.340 --> 00:35:21.679
We<00:35:19.559><c> sometimes</c><00:35:20.019><c> think,</c><00:35:20.320><c> well,</c><00:35:20.519><c> you</c><00:35:20.559><c> know,</c><00:35:20.699><c> I</c><00:35:20.860><c> do</c><00:35:21.019><c> good</c><00:35:21.239><c> most</c><00:35:21.539><c> of</c>

00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:22.039
the<00:35:21.860><c> time,</c>

00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:25.159
but<00:35:22.559><c> every</c><00:35:23.079><c> once</c><00:35:23.320><c> in</c><00:35:23.440><c> a</c><00:35:23.559><c> while</c><00:35:23.659><c> I</c><00:35:23.760><c> want</c><00:35:23.920><c> to</c><00:35:24.139><c> relax</c><00:35:24.440><c> a</c><00:35:24.579><c> little</c><00:35:24.800><c> bit.</c>

00:35:25.659 --> 00:35:27.960
You<00:35:25.719><c> know,</c><00:35:26.039><c> it's</c><00:35:26.719><c> like</c><00:35:26.980><c> the</c><00:35:27.159><c> children</c><00:35:27.360><c> of</c><00:35:27.519><c> Israel</c><00:35:27.760><c> here.</c>

00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.139
They<00:35:28.079><c> kind</c><00:35:28.300><c> of</c><00:35:28.420><c> eat,</c><00:35:28.639><c> they</c><00:35:28.820><c> drink,</c><00:35:29.079><c> they</c><00:35:29.260><c> rise</c><00:35:29.500><c> up</c><00:35:29.679><c> to</c><00:35:29.880><c> play.</c>

00:35:30.340 --> 00:35:32.519
Just<00:35:30.659><c> wanted</c><00:35:30.860><c> to</c><00:35:31.059><c> have</c><00:35:31.280><c> a</c><00:35:31.360><c> little</c><00:35:31.579><c> bit</c><00:35:31.719><c> of</c><00:35:31.880><c> a</c><00:35:31.920><c> good</c><00:35:32.139><c> time</c><00:35:32.340><c> with</c>

00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:33.659
my<00:35:32.800><c> friends.</c>

00:35:33.860 --> 00:35:35.280
Didn't<00:35:34.059><c> seem</c><00:35:34.340><c> to</c><00:35:34.500><c> be</c><00:35:34.619><c> all</c><00:35:34.760><c> that</c><00:35:35.019><c> bad.</c>

00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:39.219
I<00:35:35.719><c> mean,</c><00:35:35.880><c> everybody</c><00:35:36.300><c> relaxes</c><00:35:36.900><c> sometimes</c><00:35:37.480><c> in</c><00:35:37.639><c> terms</c><00:35:37.940><c> of</c><00:35:38.119><c> just</c>

00:35:39.219 --> 00:35:41.980
kicking<00:35:39.440><c> off</c><00:35:39.739><c> restraint</c><00:35:40.119><c> a</c><00:35:40.260><c> little</c><00:35:40.480><c> bit</c><00:35:40.619><c> and</c><00:35:40.780><c> letting</c><00:35:40.960><c> loose.</c>

00:35:42.380 --> 00:35:44.480
But<00:35:42.619><c> that's</c><00:35:42.920><c> not</c><00:35:43.139><c> how</c><00:35:43.340><c> Moses</c><00:35:43.719><c> saw</c><00:35:44.000><c> it.</c>

00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:46.500

00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:05.519
And<00:38:03.139><c> there's</c><00:38:03.400><c> a</c><00:38:03.639><c> separation</c><00:38:04.119><c> that</c><00:38:04.440><c> occurs.</c>

00:38:06.579 --> 00:38:08.260
So<00:38:07.099><c> we</c><00:38:07.300><c> have</c><00:38:07.579><c> to</c><00:38:07.800><c> confess.</c>

00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:10.699
We<00:38:08.559><c> have</c><00:38:08.820><c> to</c><00:38:09.059><c> take</c><00:38:09.280><c> responsibility.</c>

00:38:11.019 --> 00:38:12.300
That's<00:38:11.460><c> the</c><00:38:11.639><c> first</c><00:38:11.920><c> step.</c>

00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:16.139
And<00:38:12.760><c> we</c><00:38:12.900><c> need</c><00:38:13.059><c> to</c><00:38:13.400><c> separate</c><00:38:13.900><c> the</c><00:38:14.599><c> good</c><00:38:14.800><c> from</c><00:38:15.019><c> the</c><00:38:15.260><c> bad.</c>

00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:19.139
But<00:38:16.800><c> now</c><00:38:17.360><c> what</c><00:38:17.699><c> is</c><00:38:17.980><c> Moses</c><00:38:18.340><c> going</c><00:38:18.659><c> to</c><00:38:18.920><c> do?</c>

00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.940
There's<00:38:20.099><c> still</c><00:38:20.440><c> a</c><00:38:20.699><c> breach</c><00:38:20.920><c> between</c><00:38:21.440><c> God</c><00:38:21.780><c> and</c><00:38:21.920><c> the</c><00:38:22.119><c> people.</c>

00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:26.940
And<00:38:23.360><c> so</c><00:38:23.460><c> he</c><00:38:23.619><c> goes</c><00:38:23.880><c> on</c><00:38:24.179><c> to</c><00:38:24.400><c> seek</c><00:38:24.559><c> atonement,</c><00:38:25.639><c> to</c><00:38:25.820><c> seek</c><00:38:26.019><c> a</c><00:38:26.260><c> covering</c><00:38:26.460><c> for</c><00:38:26.800><c> sin.</c>

00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.079
Remember<00:38:27.300><c> the</c><00:38:27.440><c> people</c><00:38:27.719><c> were</c><00:38:27.920><c> made</c><00:38:28.179><c> naked.</c>

00:38:29.179 --> 00:38:31.000
They<00:38:29.320><c> were</c><00:38:29.480><c> made</c><00:38:29.719><c> naked</c><00:38:30.059><c> before</c><00:38:30.380><c> their</c><00:38:30.639><c> enemies.</c>

00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:34.219
They<00:38:31.539><c> would</c><00:38:31.760><c> be</c><00:38:31.980><c> destroyed</c><00:38:32.460><c> very</c><00:38:33.019><c> quickly</c><00:38:33.340><c> without</c><00:38:33.699><c> God</c><00:38:34.039><c> as</c>

00:38:34.219 --> 00:38:34.900
their<00:38:34.420><c> protection.</c>

00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:37.519
And<00:38:35.440><c> so</c><00:38:35.559><c> he</c><00:38:35.719><c> needs</c><00:38:36.000><c> to</c><00:38:36.219><c> pursue</c><00:38:36.519><c> a</c><00:38:36.760><c> covering.</c>

00:38:37.619 --> 00:38:39.820
So<00:38:37.719><c> the</c><00:38:37.940><c> first</c><00:38:38.179><c> thing</c><00:38:38.340><c> that</c><00:38:38.500><c> he</c><00:38:38.699><c> tells</c><00:38:38.880><c> the</c><00:38:39.159><c> people</c><00:38:39.340><c> in</c><00:38:39.519><c> verse</c>

00:38:39.820 --> 00:38:42.800
29<00:38:40.400><c> is</c><00:38:40.860><c> to</c><00:38:41.159><c> consecrate</c><00:38:41.679><c> yourselves</c><00:38:42.199><c> to</c><00:38:42.380><c> the</c><00:38:42.579><c> Lord.</c>

00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:46.739
It<00:38:43.199><c> literally</c><00:38:43.559><c> means</c><00:38:43.860><c> to</c><00:38:44.219><c> fill</c><00:38:44.440><c> your</c><00:38:44.820><c> hand</c><00:38:45.139><c> with</c><00:38:45.820><c> God.</c>

00:38:46.900 --> 00:38:49.119
And<00:38:47.059><c> you</c><00:38:47.239><c> think</c><00:38:47.380><c> about</c><00:38:47.679><c> what</c><00:38:47.900><c> were</c><00:38:48.079><c> the</c><00:38:48.300><c> hands</c><00:38:48.519><c> of</c><00:38:48.679><c> the</c><00:38:48.880><c> people</c>

00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:51.300
filled<00:38:49.440><c> with</c><00:38:49.659><c> back</c><00:38:49.880><c> in</c><00:38:50.079><c> verse</c><00:38:50.340><c> 4.</c>

00:38:51.380 --> 00:38:52.760
It<00:38:51.460><c> was</c><00:38:51.679><c> the</c><00:38:51.920><c> gold</c><00:38:52.139><c> of</c><00:38:52.400><c> Egypt.</c>

00:38:53.059 --> 00:38:54.500
The<00:38:53.360><c> riches</c><00:38:53.639><c> of</c><00:38:53.860><c> this</c><00:38:54.159><c> world.</c>

00:38:54.739 --> 00:38:58.280
He<00:38:54.980><c> says</c><00:38:55.119><c> get</c><00:38:55.400><c> those</c><00:38:55.719><c> things</c><00:38:55.960><c> out</c><00:38:56.159><c> of</c><00:38:56.219><c> your</c><00:38:56.400><c> hand</c><00:38:56.559><c> and</c><00:38:56.900><c> fill</c><00:38:57.159><c> your</c><00:38:57.460><c> hands</c><00:38:57.599><c> with</c><00:38:57.820><c> God</c><00:38:58.099><c> so</c>

00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:00.039
that<00:38:58.420><c> there's</c><00:38:58.679><c> room</c><00:38:58.960><c> for</c><00:38:59.300><c> nothing</c><00:38:59.579><c> else.</c>

00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.380
Fill<00:39:00.780><c> them</c><00:39:00.940><c> up</c><00:39:01.079><c> with</c><00:39:01.300><c> God.</c>

00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:06.679
And<00:39:03.099><c> he</c><00:39:03.260><c> goes</c><00:39:03.539><c> on</c><00:39:04.280><c> to</c><00:39:04.699><c> seek</c><00:39:04.900><c> atonement</c><00:39:05.440><c> for</c><00:39:05.619><c> the</c><00:39:05.820><c> people.</c>

00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:10.880
The<00:39:07.719><c> problem</c><00:39:08.059><c> was</c><00:39:08.400><c> though</c><00:39:08.780><c> that</c><00:39:09.559><c> Moses</c><00:39:09.960><c> didn't</c><00:39:10.280><c> understand</c>

00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:12.260
how<00:39:11.099><c> to</c><00:39:11.260><c> do</c><00:39:11.440><c> that.</c>

00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:15.199
He<00:39:12.659><c> thought</c><00:39:12.900><c> that</c><00:39:13.360><c> you</c><00:39:13.480><c> could</c><00:39:13.820><c> substitute</c><00:39:14.400><c> the</c><00:39:14.619><c> life</c><00:39:14.840><c> of</c><00:39:15.059><c> a</c>

00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:17.199
righteous<00:39:15.480><c> individual</c><00:39:16.079><c> for</c><00:39:16.380><c> others.</c>

00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:20.219
He<00:39:17.860><c> says</c><00:39:18.039><c> to</c><00:39:18.239><c> forgive</c><00:39:18.579><c> them</c><00:39:18.780><c> and</c><00:39:18.860><c> if</c><00:39:19.099><c> not</c><00:39:19.300><c> I</c><00:39:19.539><c> pray</c><00:39:19.719><c> thee</c><00:39:19.980><c> blot</c>

00:39:20.219 --> 00:39:21.900
me<00:39:20.500><c> out</c><00:39:20.639><c> of</c><00:39:20.800><c> thy</c><00:39:20.960><c> book.</c>

00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:25.300
And<00:39:22.199><c> even</c><00:39:22.460><c> though</c><00:39:22.679><c> Moses</c><00:39:23.059><c> had</c><00:39:23.260><c> an</c><00:39:23.559><c> elevated</c><00:39:23.940><c> position</c><00:39:24.519><c> with</c><00:39:24.800><c> God,</c>

00:39:25.300 --> 00:39:29.039
even<00:39:25.960><c> though</c><00:39:26.199><c> God</c><00:39:26.460><c> spoke</c><00:39:26.780><c> to</c><00:39:26.900><c> him</c><00:39:27.199><c> face</c><00:39:27.559><c> to</c><00:39:27.719><c> face</c><00:39:27.980><c> as</c><00:39:28.179><c> a</c><00:39:28.360><c> man</c><00:39:28.539><c> speaks</c><00:39:28.860><c> to</c>

00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:30.219
his<00:39:29.300><c> friend,</c>

00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:34.019
God<00:39:30.699><c> had</c><00:39:30.980><c> to</c><00:39:31.260><c> drive</c><00:39:31.579><c> home</c><00:39:31.840><c> for</c><00:39:32.099><c> Moses</c><00:39:32.599><c> that</c><00:39:33.260><c> that</c><00:39:33.639><c> elevated</c>

00:39:34.019 --> 00:39:35.440
position<00:39:34.559><c> was</c><00:39:34.880><c> not</c><00:39:35.099><c> enough.</c>

00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.139
It<00:39:35.880><c> would</c><00:39:36.179><c> only</c><00:39:36.460><c> be</c><00:39:36.619><c> by</c><00:39:36.840><c> the</c><00:39:37.099><c> grace</c><00:39:37.360><c> of</c><00:39:37.619><c> God.</c>

00:39:38.500 --> 00:39:42.800
Eight<00:39:38.860><c> times</c><00:39:39.440><c> God</c><00:39:39.739><c> mentions</c><00:39:40.119><c> it</c><00:39:40.380><c> in</c><00:39:40.539><c> Exodus</c><00:39:40.860><c> 33</c><00:39:41.599><c> that</c><00:39:42.099><c> it</c><00:39:42.260><c> would</c><00:39:42.500><c> only</c>

00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:44.300
be<00:39:43.019><c> through</c><00:39:43.360><c> his</c><00:39:43.780><c> grace,</c>

00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:49.619
his<00:39:45.139><c> character</c><00:39:45.619><c> that</c><00:39:46.380><c> forgiveness</c><00:39:47.079><c> and</c><00:39:47.739><c> atonement</c><00:39:48.519><c> could</c><00:39:48.760><c> be</c><00:39:49.000><c> received.</c>

00:39:49.619 --> 00:39:53.699
And<00:39:50.739><c> so</c><00:39:50.960><c> he's</c><00:39:51.300><c> really</c><00:39:51.800><c> hammering</c><00:39:52.159><c> home</c><00:39:52.420><c> to</c><00:39:52.659><c> Moses</c><00:39:52.940><c> that</c><00:39:53.260><c> grace</c>

00:39:53.699 --> 00:39:55.900
is<00:39:54.000><c> the</c><00:39:54.199><c> basis</c><00:39:54.679><c> for</c><00:39:55.340><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:39:56.360 --> 00:39:58.280
And<00:39:56.500><c> we're</c><00:39:56.619><c> going</c><00:39:56.699><c> to</c><00:39:56.840><c> see</c><00:39:56.940><c> the</c><00:39:57.199><c> detail</c><00:39:57.539><c> of</c><00:39:57.719><c> that</c><00:39:57.840><c> when</c><00:39:57.960><c> we</c><00:39:58.099><c> get</c>

00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:01.460
into<00:39:58.579><c> Exodus</c><00:39:58.980><c> 34</c><00:39:59.619><c> in</c><00:39:59.820><c> our</c><00:40:00.019><c> workshop</c><00:40:00.420><c> together.</c>

00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:05.420
So<00:40:02.380><c> think</c><00:40:02.639><c> about</c><00:40:02.940><c> this</c><00:40:03.380><c> in</c><00:40:03.679><c> regards</c><00:40:04.059><c> to</c><00:40:04.360><c> ourselves.</c>

00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:09.500
We've<00:40:06.139><c> talked</c><00:40:06.320><c> about</c><00:40:06.760><c> how</c><00:40:07.280><c> God</c><00:40:07.599><c> defines</c><00:40:08.099><c> a</c><00:40:08.480><c> relationship.</c>

00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:12.039
Just<00:40:09.860><c> to</c><00:40:10.139><c> summarize</c><00:40:10.539><c> what</c><00:40:10.780><c> we've</c><00:40:11.059><c> looked</c><00:40:11.239><c> at</c><00:40:11.420><c> in</c><00:40:11.559><c> our</c><00:40:11.800><c> second</c>

00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:13.480
class<00:40:12.480><c> together.</c>

00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:17.539
That<00:40:14.019><c> we</c><00:40:14.199><c> need</c><00:40:14.380><c> to</c><00:40:14.639><c> know</c><00:40:14.900><c> and</c><00:40:15.199><c> do</c><00:40:15.480><c> all</c><00:40:15.920><c> that</c><00:40:16.079><c> God</c><00:40:16.340><c> has</c><00:40:16.659><c> spoken.</c>

00:40:17.619 --> 00:40:22.219
That<00:40:18.119><c> God</c><00:40:18.519><c> sends</c><00:40:18.820><c> his</c><00:40:19.099><c> angels</c><00:40:19.539><c> to</c><00:40:20.320><c> guide</c><00:40:20.559><c> us</c><00:40:21.019><c> to</c><00:40:21.179><c> the</c><00:40:21.380><c> kingdom.</c>

00:40:22.420 --> 00:40:24.000
But<00:40:22.579><c> we</c><00:40:22.739><c> have</c><00:40:22.980><c> to</c><00:40:23.139><c> be</c><00:40:23.340><c> aware</c><00:40:23.599><c> of</c><00:40:23.820><c> that.</c>

00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:27.119
We<00:40:24.340><c> have</c><00:40:24.539><c> to</c><00:40:24.800><c> work</c><00:40:25.079><c> together</c><00:40:25.599><c> with</c><00:40:25.900><c> our</c><00:40:26.159><c> angels.</c>

00:40:27.699 --> 00:40:30.559
So<00:40:27.840><c> that</c><00:40:28.000><c> we're</c><00:40:28.239><c> doing</c><00:40:28.500><c> the</c><00:40:28.760><c> things</c><00:40:29.039><c> that</c><00:40:29.300><c> God</c><00:40:29.539><c> wants</c><00:40:29.880><c> us</c><00:40:30.139><c> to</c><00:40:30.320><c> do.</c>

00:40:30.780 --> 00:40:32.619
So<00:40:30.940><c> that</c><00:40:31.079><c> we're</c><00:40:31.340><c> seeing</c><00:40:31.619><c> his</c><00:40:31.940><c> hand</c><00:40:32.159><c> in</c><00:40:32.300><c> our</c><00:40:32.519><c> life.</c>

00:40:32.699 --> 00:40:34.739
So<00:40:32.760><c> that</c><00:40:32.860><c> we're</c><00:40:33.139><c> thinking</c><00:40:33.480><c> about</c><00:40:33.800><c> the</c><00:40:34.039><c> things</c><00:40:34.199><c> that</c><00:40:34.340><c> we're</c><00:40:34.500><c> going</c><00:40:34.619><c> to</c>

00:40:36.500 --> 00:40:39.719
So<00:40:36.659><c> that</c><00:40:36.780><c> we're</c><00:40:37.119><c> purposeful</c><00:40:37.559><c> in</c><00:40:37.699><c> our</c><00:40:37.900><c> behavior</c><00:40:38.320><c> and</c><00:40:38.480><c> our</c><00:40:38.699><c> decisions.</c>

00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:42.820
And<00:40:40.619><c> God</c><00:40:40.880><c> will</c><00:40:41.119><c> ensure</c><00:40:41.380><c> our</c><00:40:41.639><c> success</c><00:40:42.059><c> through</c><00:40:42.340><c> trials.</c>

00:40:42.820 --> 00:40:48.440
Little<00:40:43.719><c> by</c><00:40:44.539><c> little</c><00:40:45.139><c> God</c><00:40:46.039><c> will</c><00:40:46.260><c> make</c><00:40:46.480><c> sure</c><00:40:46.699><c> that</c><00:40:46.900><c> we</c><00:40:47.119><c> progress</c><00:40:47.480><c> along.</c>

00:40:49.019 --> 00:40:51.280
And<00:40:49.079><c> when</c><00:40:49.239><c> we</c><00:40:49.500><c> find</c><00:40:49.780><c> that</c><00:40:49.980><c> we've</c><00:40:50.159><c> done</c><00:40:50.360><c> the</c><00:40:50.599><c> wrong</c><00:40:50.840><c> thing.</c>

00:40:51.739 --> 00:40:54.139

00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:57.079
God<00:40:54.500><c> expects</c><00:40:54.960><c> us</c><00:40:55.280><c> to</c><00:40:55.460><c> confess</c><00:40:55.880><c> our</c><00:40:56.179><c> sins.</c>

00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:33.300
You<00:41:29.079><c> will</c><00:41:29.440><c> not</c><00:41:29.699><c> have</c><00:41:30.000><c> time</c><00:41:30.599><c> to</c><00:41:31.199><c> get</c><00:41:31.420><c> involved</c><00:41:31.860><c> in</c><00:41:32.059><c> other</c><00:41:32.280><c> things.</c>

00:41:33.340 --> 00:41:35.059
If<00:41:33.539><c> you're</c><00:41:33.739><c> making</c><00:41:34.039><c> the</c><00:41:34.280><c> right</c><00:41:34.500><c> choices.</c>

00:41:35.059 --> 00:41:38.360
And<00:41:35.880><c> we</c><00:41:36.039><c> need</c><00:41:36.280><c> to</c><00:41:36.500><c> appeal</c><00:41:36.860><c> for</c><00:41:37.239><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:41:38.739 --> 00:41:41.860
Based<00:41:38.760><c> on</c><00:41:39.039><c> God's</c><00:41:39.559><c> grace</c><00:41:39.980><c> and</c><00:41:40.519><c> God's</c><00:41:40.980><c> mercy.</c>

Our<00:41:42.659><c> relationship</c><00:41:43.380><c> with</c><00:41:43.780><c> God</c><00:41:44.559><c> must</c><00:41:45.159><c> be</c><00:41:45.460><c> alive.</c>

00:41:46.780 --> 00:41:49.880
And<00:41:46.880><c> daily</c><00:41:47.139><c> effort</c><00:41:47.659><c> is</c><00:41:48.300><c> truly</c><00:41:48.639><c> required</c><00:41:49.199><c> if</c><00:41:49.420><c> we're</c><00:41:49.579><c> going</c><00:41:49.699><c> to</c>

00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:51.059
keep<00:41:50.000><c> it</c><00:41:50.239><c> alive.</c>

00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:54.340
Just<00:41:51.599><c> like</c><00:41:51.820><c> any</c><00:41:52.099><c> other</c><00:41:52.420><c> relationship</c><00:41:52.960><c> that</c><00:41:53.199><c> you</c><00:41:53.420><c> have.</c>

00:41:55.420 --> 00:41:57.000
It<00:41:55.599><c> needs</c><00:41:55.880><c> to</c><00:41:56.099><c> be</c><00:41:56.260><c> kept</c><00:41:56.460><c> alive.</c>

My<00:42:38.199><c> Lord</c><00:42:38.519><c> delays</c><00:42:38.900><c> his</c><00:42:39.159><c> coming.</c>

00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:40.639
There's<00:42:39.820><c> impatience.</c>

00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:44.480
Because<00:42:41.440><c> he's</c><00:42:41.780><c> taking</c><00:42:42.500><c> longer</c><00:42:43.139><c> than</c><00:42:43.400><c> expected.</c>

00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:47.380
What's<00:42:45.599><c> the</c><00:42:45.800><c> result</c><00:42:46.099><c> of</c><00:42:46.300><c> this?</c>

00:42:47.699 --> 00:42:49.500
He<00:42:47.820><c> casts</c><00:42:48.019><c> off</c><00:42:48.320><c> for</c><00:42:48.619><c> strain.</c>

00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:52.780

00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:56.539
Very<00:42:53.320><c> similar</c><00:42:53.659><c> to</c><00:42:53.920><c> eating,</c><00:42:54.380><c> drinking,</c><00:42:55.440><c> and</c><00:42:55.539><c> rising</c><00:42:55.880><c> up</c><00:42:56.119><c> to</c><00:42:56.340><c> play.</c>

00:42:56.539 --> 00:42:59.940
The<00:42:57.219><c> Lord</c><00:42:57.519><c> Jesus</c><00:42:57.920><c> Christ</c><00:42:58.239><c> is</c><00:42:58.420><c> saying</c><00:42:58.559><c> there's</c><00:42:58.860><c> a</c><00:42:59.099><c> direct</c><00:42:59.300><c> correlation.</c>

00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:03.059
To<00:43:00.420><c> you</c><00:43:00.719><c> thinking</c><00:43:01.039><c> that</c><00:43:01.239><c> you</c><00:43:01.400><c> have</c><00:43:01.639><c> more</c><00:43:02.019><c> time.</c>

00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:07.880
Because<00:43:05.019><c> if</c><00:43:05.179><c> you</c><00:43:05.400><c> think</c><00:43:05.699><c> that</c><00:43:06.099><c> you</c><00:43:06.239><c> have</c><00:43:06.460><c> more</c><00:43:06.840><c> time.</c>

00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:10.940
You're<00:43:08.440><c> not</c><00:43:08.579><c> going</c><00:43:08.739><c> to</c><00:43:08.920><c> focus</c><00:43:09.260><c> on</c><00:43:09.539><c> doing</c><00:43:09.780><c> today.</c>

00:43:11.059 --> 00:43:12.380
What<00:43:11.219><c> needs</c><00:43:11.480><c> to</c><00:43:11.659><c> be</c><00:43:11.780><c> done</c><00:43:11.940><c> today.</c>

00:43:12.860 --> 00:43:15.500

00:43:15.900 --> 00:43:18.579
Maybe<00:43:16.199><c> I</c><00:43:16.380><c> got</c><00:43:16.539><c> another</c><00:43:16.840><c> month</c><00:43:17.179><c> or</c><00:43:17.380><c> another</c><00:43:17.699><c> year.</c>

00:43:18.739 --> 00:43:20.500
And<00:43:18.980><c> because</c><00:43:19.260><c> you</c><00:43:19.559><c> think</c><00:43:19.800><c> that</c><00:43:20.079><c> way.</c>

00:43:20.980 --> 00:43:22.480
You<00:43:21.159><c> lose</c><00:43:21.440><c> focus.</c>

00:43:22.500 --> 00:43:24.480
And<00:43:22.980><c> you</c><00:43:23.139><c> end</c><00:43:23.340><c> up</c><00:43:23.539><c> giving</c><00:43:23.719><c> in.</c>

00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:27.619
Making<00:43:24.980><c> small</c><00:43:25.480><c> concessions</c><00:43:26.139><c> along</c><00:43:26.440><c> the</c><00:43:26.599><c> way.</c>

00:43:27.659 --> 00:43:30.739
Of<00:43:27.780><c> well</c><00:43:27.900><c> maybe</c><00:43:28.219><c> it's</c><00:43:28.840><c> not</c><00:43:29.019><c> a</c><00:43:29.119><c> big</c><00:43:29.260><c> deal</c><00:43:29.559><c> if</c><00:43:29.739><c> I</c><00:43:29.880><c> don't</c><00:43:30.139><c> focus</c><00:43:30.500><c> as</c>

00:43:30.739 --> 00:43:33.119
much<00:43:30.880><c> as</c><00:43:31.019><c> I</c><00:43:31.219><c> should</c><00:43:31.539><c> today.</c>

00:43:33.579 --> 00:43:35.900
Because<00:43:33.800><c> if</c><00:43:34.000><c> today</c><00:43:34.219><c> was</c><00:43:34.460><c> my</c><00:43:34.679><c> last</c><00:43:35.000><c> day</c><00:43:35.199><c> and</c><00:43:35.360><c> Christ</c><00:43:35.619><c> was</c>

returning<00:43:36.280><c> today.</c>

00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:39.300
We'd<00:43:38.139><c> probably</c><00:43:38.360><c> make</c><00:43:38.579><c> different</c><00:43:38.920><c> decisions.</c>

00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:41.079

00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:57.000
Of<00:43:54.679><c> where</c><00:43:54.800><c> we're</c><00:43:55.039><c> continually</c><00:43:55.500><c> making</c><00:43:55.860><c> these</c><00:43:56.260><c> concessions.</c>

00:43:57.659 --> 00:44:00.599
Jesus<00:43:57.980><c> says</c><00:43:58.380><c> that</c><00:43:58.519><c> we're</c><00:43:58.679><c> going</c><00:43:58.739><c> to</c><00:43:58.800><c> be</c><00:43:58.980><c> alarmed</c><00:43:59.320><c> at</c><00:43:59.440><c> his</c><00:43:59.659><c> return.</c>

00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:02.559

00:44:12.460 --> 00:44:14.940
We<00:44:12.719><c> know</c><00:44:12.920><c> what</c><00:44:13.119><c> Moses</c><00:44:13.500><c> found</c><00:44:13.739><c> the</c><00:44:13.940><c> people</c><00:44:14.159><c> doing.</c>

00:44:25.780 --> 00:44:28.000
We<00:44:26.079><c> need</c><00:44:26.280><c> to</c><00:44:26.500><c> make</c><00:44:26.619><c> those</c><00:44:26.940><c> decisions.</c>

They<00:45:02.460><c> mourned</c><00:45:02.820><c> in</c><00:45:03.000><c> Exodus</c><00:45:03.340><c> 33</c><00:45:03.900><c> and</c><00:45:04.079><c> verse</c><00:45:04.340><c> 4.</c>

00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:07.940
When<00:45:05.360><c> they</c><00:45:05.579><c> heard</c><00:45:05.780><c> what</c><00:45:05.940><c> was</c><00:45:06.179><c> going</c><00:45:06.380><c> to</c><00:45:06.639><c> happen</c><00:45:06.860><c> to</c><00:45:07.019><c> them.</c>

00:45:08.460 --> 00:45:10.599
And<00:45:08.559><c> the</c><00:45:08.760><c> same</c><00:45:09.000><c> thing</c><00:45:09.159><c> will</c><00:45:09.320><c> be</c><00:45:09.460><c> in</c><00:45:09.579><c> our</c><00:45:09.800><c> day.</c>

00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:13.820
That<00:45:10.840><c> there</c><00:45:11.019><c> will</c><00:45:11.139><c> be</c><00:45:11.320><c> weeping</c><00:45:11.780><c> and</c><00:45:12.400><c> gnashing</c><00:45:12.760><c> of</c><00:45:13.019><c> teeth.</c>

00:45:14.099 --> 00:45:17.599
We<00:45:14.619><c> may</c><00:45:14.860><c> not</c><00:45:15.079><c> see</c><00:45:15.280><c> ourselves</c><00:45:15.840><c> as</c><00:45:16.079><c> constructing</c><00:45:16.639><c> golden</c><00:45:17.079><c> calves</c><00:45:17.400><c> in</c>

our<00:45:17.820><c> day.</c>

00:45:18.820 --> 00:45:20.579
But<00:45:18.980><c> what</c><00:45:19.199><c> are</c><00:45:19.340><c> we</c><00:45:19.599><c> filling</c><00:45:19.760><c> our</c><00:45:20.019><c> hands</c><00:45:20.300><c> with?</c>

What<00:45:23.000><c> takes</c><00:45:23.300><c> up</c><00:45:23.539><c> our</c><00:45:23.840><c> time?</c>

And<00:45:24.719><c> what</c><00:45:24.920><c> kind</c><00:45:25.079><c> of</c><00:45:25.300><c> decisions</c><00:45:25.679><c> are</c><00:45:25.900><c> we</c><00:45:26.099><c> making?</c>

00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:29.280
This<00:45:27.420><c> has</c><00:45:27.719><c> to</c><00:45:27.880><c> be</c><00:45:28.039><c> a</c><00:45:28.199><c> reality</c><00:45:28.579><c> to</c><00:45:28.900><c> us.</c>

00:45:29.699 --> 00:45:32.119
And<00:45:29.840><c> the</c><00:45:29.980><c> Lord</c><00:45:30.139><c> Jesus</c><00:45:30.519><c> Christ</c><00:45:30.880><c> is</c><00:45:31.099><c> bringing</c><00:45:31.360><c> this</c><00:45:31.599><c> home</c><00:45:31.840><c> and</c>

00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:32.739
telling<00:45:32.280><c> us.</c>

00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:35.579
This<00:45:33.219><c> is</c><00:45:33.420><c> going</c><00:45:33.500><c> to</c><00:45:33.579><c> be</c><00:45:33.719><c> something</c><00:45:34.019><c> that</c><00:45:34.280><c> you</c><00:45:34.559><c> struggle</c><00:45:35.039><c> with.</c>

00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:37.320
When<00:45:36.119><c> I</c><00:45:36.340><c> return.</c>

00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:39.559
You<00:45:37.860><c> have</c><00:45:38.099><c> to</c><00:45:38.260><c> be</c><00:45:38.500><c> conscious.</c>

00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:41.320
That<00:45:39.840><c> Jesus</c><00:45:40.199><c> is</c><00:45:40.480><c> returning</c><00:45:40.800><c> soon.</c>

00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:44.380
And<00:45:42.019><c> you</c><00:45:42.199><c> have</c><00:45:42.440><c> to</c><00:45:42.639><c> allow</c><00:45:42.880><c> that</c><00:45:43.119><c> to</c><00:45:43.320><c> affect</c><00:45:43.639><c> the</c><00:45:43.940><c> decisions</c>

00:45:44.380 --> 00:45:45.980
that<00:45:44.699><c> you</c><00:45:44.900><c> make.</c>

00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:47.559
So<00:45:46.460><c> as</c><00:45:46.659><c> we</c><00:45:46.860><c> move</c><00:45:47.059><c> forward.</c>

00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:50.559
We're<00:45:48.039><c> going</c><00:45:48.119><c> to</c><00:45:48.280><c> take</c><00:45:48.440><c> a</c><00:45:48.579><c> look</c><00:45:48.860><c> at</c><00:45:49.360><c> the</c><00:45:49.639><c> promise</c><00:45:49.900><c> that</c><00:45:50.159><c> God's</c>

00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:52.159

00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:55.679
And<00:45:53.000><c> how</c><00:45:53.199><c> it</c><00:45:53.380><c> is</c><00:45:53.559><c> that</c><00:45:53.719><c> we</c><00:45:53.860><c> can</c><00:45:54.039><c> obtain</c><00:45:54.420><c> that</c><00:45:54.699><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:58.400
That<00:45:55.980><c> ultimately</c><00:45:56.440><c> it's</c><00:45:56.880><c> through</c><00:45:57.119><c> God's</c><00:45:57.619><c> character.</c>

00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:02.579
But<00:45:58.960><c> let's</c><00:45:59.199><c> make</c><00:45:59.420><c> sure</c><00:45:59.619><c> that</c><00:45:59.820><c> we</c><00:46:00.019><c> remain</c><00:46:00.219><c> focused</c><00:46:00.739><c> in</c><00:46:00.920><c> the</c><00:46:01.119><c> time</c><00:46:01.300><c> that</c><00:46:01.480><c> we</c><00:46:01.679><c> have.</c>

00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:06.500
And<00:46:02.840><c> that</c><00:46:02.960><c> we</c><00:46:03.179><c> remain</c><00:46:03.440><c> conscious</c><00:46:04.059><c> of</c><00:46:04.619><c> our</c><00:46:04.840><c> Lord's</c><00:46:05.239><c> imminent</c><00:46:05.500><c> return.</c>
