00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.039
Moving<00:00:52.560><c> along,</c><00:00:53.259><c> see.</c>

00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.880
As<00:00:55.320><c> Dennis</c><00:00:55.600><c> and</c><00:00:55.799><c> I</c><00:00:55.979><c> noticed,</c><00:00:56.560><c> unfortunately</c><00:00:57.060><c> when</c><00:00:57.560><c> we</c><00:00:57.759><c> split</c>

00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.820
these<00:00:58.159><c> things</c><00:00:58.399><c> up,</c><00:00:59.520><c> you</c><00:00:59.640><c> see</c><00:00:59.700><c> what</c><00:00:59.859><c> ended</c><00:01:00.060><c> up</c><00:01:00.320><c> happening</c><00:01:00.520><c> is</c>

00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:03.759
that<00:01:01.000><c> Nathan</c><00:01:01.240><c> Lewis</c><00:01:01.520><c> was</c><00:01:01.780><c> involved</c><00:01:02.100><c> in</c><00:01:02.380><c> splitting</c><00:01:02.520><c> up</c><00:01:02.740><c> the</c><00:01:02.920><c> classes.</c>

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.000
And<00:01:03.840><c> he</c><00:01:04.459><c> split</c><00:01:04.560><c> them</c><00:01:04.719><c> up</c><00:01:04.879><c> in</c><00:01:05.040><c> such</c><00:01:05.219><c> a</c><00:01:05.379><c> way</c><00:01:05.540><c> that</c><00:01:06.219><c> at</c><00:01:06.560><c> the</c><00:01:06.680><c> end</c><00:01:06.819><c> of</c>

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.140
the<00:01:07.040><c> week</c><00:01:07.180><c> it</c><00:01:07.319><c> seems</c><00:01:07.560><c> like</c><00:01:07.739><c> there's</c><00:01:07.939><c> a</c><00:01:08.099><c> lot</c><00:01:08.239><c> more</c><00:01:08.519><c> chapters</c><00:01:08.859><c> at</c>

00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:09.579
the<00:01:09.319><c> end.</c>

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.980
So<00:01:10.319><c> if</c><00:01:10.799><c> we</c><00:01:11.019><c> start</c><00:01:11.219><c> moving</c><00:01:11.519><c> faster</c><00:01:12.040><c> tomorrow,</c><00:01:12.519><c> don't</c><00:01:12.719><c> be</c><00:01:12.900><c> surprised,</c><00:01:13.480><c> because</c><00:01:13.760><c> some</c>

00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:15.760
of<00:01:14.079><c> the</c><00:01:14.280><c> chapters</c><00:01:14.560><c> actually</c><00:01:14.980><c> include</c><00:01:15.260><c> more</c><00:01:15.560><c> stuff.</c>

00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:19.260
Although<00:01:16.420><c> yesterday</c><00:01:17.099><c> for</c><00:01:17.319><c> me,</c><00:01:17.760><c> chapters</c><00:01:17.959><c> 13</c><00:01:18.379><c> and</c><00:01:18.500><c> 14,</c><00:01:18.920><c> that</c><00:01:19.040><c> was</c><00:01:19.159><c> a</c>

00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:19.939
lot<00:01:19.379><c> to</c><00:01:19.540><c> go</c><00:01:19.760><c> through.</c>

00:01:19.939 --> 00:01:23.180
So<00:01:20.200><c> anyways,</c><00:01:21.019><c> today</c><00:01:21.280><c> we</c><00:01:21.379><c> get</c><00:01:21.560><c> to</c><00:01:21.819><c> slow</c><00:01:21.959><c> down</c><00:01:22.140><c> a</c><00:01:22.280><c> little</c><00:01:22.459><c> bit</c><00:01:22.620><c> and</c><00:01:22.799><c> look</c><00:01:22.959><c> at</c>

00:01:23.180 --> 00:01:27.180
just<00:01:23.540><c> Genesis</c><00:01:23.900><c> chapter</c><00:01:24.340><c> 16</c><00:01:24.959><c> on</c><00:01:25.659><c> the</c><00:01:25.920><c> story</c><00:01:26.200><c> of</c><00:01:26.480><c> Hagar</c><00:01:26.760><c> and</c><00:01:27.019><c> try</c>

00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:30.260
to<00:01:27.400><c> figure</c><00:01:27.540><c> out</c><00:01:27.760><c> what</c><00:01:28.040><c> in</c><00:01:28.219><c> the</c><00:01:28.299><c> world</c><00:01:28.420><c> is</c><00:01:28.599><c> that</c><00:01:28.780><c> doing</c><00:01:29.040><c> in</c><00:01:29.280><c> our</c><00:01:29.459><c> Bible.</c>

00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:32.579
So<00:01:31.019><c> Abraham</c><00:01:31.420><c> and</c><00:01:31.620><c> Hagar.</c>

00:01:32.819 --> 00:01:34.920
Now,<00:01:33.599><c> look</c><00:01:33.760><c> at</c><00:01:33.859><c> this</c><00:01:34.040><c> scenario.</c>

00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.099
All<00:01:35.299><c> of</c><00:01:35.439><c> you</c><00:01:35.560><c> women</c><00:01:35.760><c> in</c><00:01:35.980><c> here,</c><00:01:36.099><c> you</c><00:01:36.219><c> can</c><00:01:36.480><c> understand</c><00:01:36.879><c> this</c><00:01:37.120><c> really</c><00:01:37.400><c> well,</c><00:01:37.680><c> you</c><00:01:37.879><c> see.</c>

00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:39.799
The<00:01:38.480><c> sisters,</c><00:01:38.819><c> you've</c><00:01:39.140><c> got</c><00:01:39.219><c> this</c><00:01:39.500><c> down.</c>

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.379
I<00:01:40.319><c> think</c><00:01:40.459><c> for</c><00:01:40.640><c> the</c><00:01:40.819><c> guys</c><00:01:41.040><c> it's</c><00:01:41.280><c> a</c><00:01:41.379><c> little</c><00:01:41.519><c> harder</c><00:01:41.780><c> to</c><00:01:42.040><c> understand</c><00:01:42.439><c> the</c><00:01:42.719><c> background</c><00:01:43.099><c> for</c>

00:01:43.379 --> 00:01:44.599
this<00:01:43.859><c> little</c><00:01:44.140><c> story</c><00:01:44.379><c> here.</c>

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.700
But<00:01:44.840><c> here,</c><00:01:45.640><c> we've</c><00:01:45.780><c> got</c><00:01:45.920><c> Sarah</c><00:01:46.159><c> and</c><00:01:46.319><c> Abraham,</c><00:01:46.939><c> and</c><00:01:47.159><c> Sarah</c><00:01:47.299><c> has</c>

00:01:47.700 --> 00:01:48.299
no<00:01:47.959><c> children.</c>

00:01:48.299 --> 00:01:49.640
She's<00:01:48.640><c> childless.</c>

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.620
And<00:01:49.939><c> she</c><00:01:50.180><c> realizes</c><00:01:50.780><c> very</c><00:01:51.299><c> clearly,</c><00:01:51.680><c> she</c><00:01:51.900><c> says</c><00:01:52.200><c> in</c><00:01:52.359><c> there</c><00:01:52.480><c> in</c>

00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:53.500
verse<00:01:52.900><c> two,</c>

00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:57.939
Sarah,<00:01:54.219><c> I</c><00:01:54.219><c> said</c><00:01:54.400><c> to</c><00:01:54.659><c> Abraham,</c><00:01:55.299><c> see</c><00:01:55.459><c> now</c><00:01:55.840><c> the</c><00:01:56.319><c> Lord</c><00:01:56.719><c> has</c><00:01:57.140><c> restrained</c><00:01:57.640><c> me</c>

00:01:57.939 --> 00:01:59.480
from<00:01:58.200><c> bearing</c><00:01:58.459><c> children.</c>

00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:02.760
So<00:01:59.680><c> this</c><00:01:59.900><c> is</c><00:02:00.140><c> not</c><00:02:00.280><c> a</c><00:02:00.459><c> case</c><00:02:00.659><c> of</c><00:02:00.840><c> just</c><00:02:01.079><c> saying,</c><00:02:01.439><c> well,</c><00:02:01.640><c> it's</c><00:02:01.920><c> a</c><00:02:02.099><c> result</c><00:02:02.379><c> of</c>

00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.040
bad<00:02:03.500><c> stuff</c><00:02:03.780><c> in</c><00:02:03.939><c> the</c><00:02:04.140><c> water</c><00:02:04.500><c> or</c><00:02:05.040><c> whatever</c><00:02:05.480><c> you</c><00:02:05.920><c> hear</c><00:02:06.140><c> today</c><00:02:06.540><c> about</c><00:02:06.859><c> as</c>

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.080
to<00:02:07.219><c> why</c><00:02:07.519><c> people</c><00:02:07.780><c> are</c><00:02:07.980><c> having</c><00:02:08.139><c> fertility</c><00:02:08.599><c> problems.</c>

00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.520
She<00:02:09.620><c> very</c><00:02:10.000><c> clearly</c><00:02:10.379><c> understood</c><00:02:11.020><c> that</c><00:02:11.259><c> God</c><00:02:11.620><c> was</c><00:02:11.939><c> involved</c><00:02:12.360><c> in</c>

00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.520
her<00:02:12.759><c> life</c><00:02:13.060><c> and</c><00:02:13.439><c> that</c><00:02:13.680><c> God</c><00:02:14.000><c> had</c><00:02:14.259><c> restrained</c><00:02:14.800><c> her</c><00:02:15.039><c> and</c><00:02:15.199><c> Abraham</c>

00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:16.479
from<00:02:15.800><c> having</c><00:02:16.000><c> children.</c>

00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.800
There's<00:02:17.039><c> no</c><00:02:17.280><c> doubt</c><00:02:17.580><c> how</c><00:02:17.900><c> Sarah</c><00:02:18.139><c> saw</c><00:02:18.439><c> this.</c>

00:02:19.259 --> 00:02:21.159
So<00:02:19.539><c> that's</c><00:02:20.080><c> how</c><00:02:20.439><c> Sarah</c><00:02:20.780><c> feels.</c>

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:22.539
And<00:02:21.479><c> she</c><00:02:21.639><c> feels</c><00:02:21.919><c> responsible.</c>

00:02:22.620 --> 00:02:25.080
She<00:02:22.800><c> feels</c><00:02:23.139><c> like</c><00:02:23.400><c> maybe</c><00:02:23.620><c> it's</c><00:02:23.919><c> her</c><00:02:24.199><c> fault.</c>

00:02:25.259 --> 00:02:27.520
Now,<00:02:25.419><c> see,</c><00:02:25.680><c> I</c><00:02:25.759><c> think</c><00:02:25.939><c> that's</c><00:02:26.259><c> probably</c><00:02:26.539><c> more</c><00:02:26.979><c> true</c><00:02:27.120><c> of</c><00:02:27.280><c> women</c>

00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:28.539
than<00:02:27.659><c> it</c><00:02:27.819><c> is</c><00:02:27.919><c> for</c><00:02:28.099><c> the</c><00:02:28.259><c> guys.</c>

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:33.319
When<00:02:29.180><c> our</c><00:02:29.400><c> young</c><00:02:29.539><c> couples</c><00:02:29.900><c> today</c><00:02:30.300><c> are</c><00:02:30.560><c> having</c><00:02:30.800><c> trouble</c><00:02:31.060><c> having</c><00:02:31.319><c> children,</c><00:02:31.740><c> I</c><00:02:31.879><c> think</c><00:02:32.120><c> probably</c><00:02:32.620><c> more</c><00:02:33.080><c> of</c>

00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.379
that<00:02:33.599><c> burden</c><00:02:33.960><c> falls</c><00:02:34.319><c> on</c><00:02:34.580><c> the</c><00:02:34.759><c> poor</c><00:02:34.939><c> sisters.</c>

00:02:35.659 --> 00:02:38.039
For<00:02:35.819><c> some</c><00:02:36.080><c> reason,</c><00:02:36.319><c> they</c><00:02:36.500><c> feel</c><00:02:36.759><c> it's</c><00:02:37.039><c> their</c><00:02:37.539><c> issue.</c>

00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.080
It's<00:02:38.340><c> not</c><00:02:38.539><c> so</c><00:02:38.740><c> much</c><00:02:38.900><c> the</c><00:02:39.120><c> guys,</c><00:02:39.419><c> it's</c><00:02:39.620><c> the</c><00:02:39.780><c> girls.</c>

00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:41.879
Although<00:02:40.680><c> today</c><00:02:40.979><c> it</c><00:02:41.099><c> could</c><00:02:41.240><c> be</c><00:02:41.439><c> either</c><00:02:41.680><c> one.</c>

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:42.879
You<00:02:42.039><c> really</c><00:02:42.300><c> don't</c><00:02:42.560><c> know.</c>

00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:44.759
But<00:02:43.460><c> this</c><00:02:43.659><c> is</c><00:02:43.819><c> how</c><00:02:44.020><c> Sarah</c><00:02:44.379><c> feels.</c>

00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.580
She<00:02:44.939><c> feels</c><00:02:45.180><c> like</c><00:02:45.379><c> she's</c><00:02:45.719><c> let</c><00:02:45.960><c> Abraham</c><00:02:46.460><c> down</c><00:02:46.939><c> and</c><00:02:47.120><c> she's</c><00:02:47.500><c> responsible.</c>

00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.879
Now,<00:02:48.860><c> when</c><00:02:48.979><c> you</c><00:02:49.120><c> look</c><00:02:49.280><c> at</c><00:02:49.500><c> where</c><00:02:49.699><c> they're</c><00:02:50.000><c> at,</c><00:02:50.460><c> Sarah's</c><00:02:50.639><c> now</c>

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.740
75<00:02:51.360><c> years</c><00:02:51.719><c> old.</c>

00:02:52.860 --> 00:02:54.120
Abraham's<00:02:53.340><c> up</c><00:02:53.460><c> to</c><00:02:53.620><c> 85.</c>

00:02:54.460 --> 00:02:56.199
Hope<00:02:54.639><c> everybody</c><00:02:54.919><c> got</c><00:02:55.159><c> that</c><00:02:55.340><c> in</c><00:02:55.500><c> the</c><00:02:55.680><c> quiz,</c><00:02:56.000><c> right?</c>

00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.699
They've<00:02:56.439><c> been</c><00:02:56.560><c> in</c><00:02:56.699><c> the</c><00:02:56.840><c> land</c><00:02:56.960><c> now</c><00:02:57.159><c> for</c><00:02:57.379><c> 10</c><00:02:57.639><c> years.</c>

00:02:58.900 --> 00:03:00.580
So<00:02:58.939><c> 85</c><00:02:59.840><c> years</c><00:03:00.259><c> old.</c>

00:03:00.939 --> 00:03:03.439
Now,<00:03:01.180><c> this</c><00:03:01.460><c> is</c><00:03:01.620><c> an</c><00:03:01.860><c> interesting</c><00:03:02.219><c> section</c><00:03:02.620><c> from</c><00:03:02.860><c> the</c><00:03:03.039><c> perspective.</c>

00:03:03.580 --> 00:03:05.680
Have<00:03:03.639><c> you</c><00:03:03.819><c> ever</c><00:03:04.080><c> wondered,</c><00:03:04.819><c> in</c><00:03:04.819><c> fact,</c><00:03:04.979><c> some</c><00:03:05.139><c> of</c><00:03:05.259><c> the</c><00:03:05.379><c> kids</c><00:03:05.539><c> in</c>

00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:07.080
the<00:03:05.840><c> teen</c><00:03:05.979><c> class</c><00:03:06.240><c> asked</c><00:03:06.520><c> this</c><00:03:06.759><c> yesterday.</c>

00:03:07.139 --> 00:03:09.379
Have<00:03:07.280><c> you</c><00:03:07.419><c> ever</c><00:03:07.659><c> wondered</c><00:03:07.860><c> when</c><00:03:08.020><c> people</c><00:03:08.379><c> lived</c><00:03:08.639><c> to</c><00:03:08.860><c> like</c><00:03:09.080><c> 200</c>

00:03:09.379 --> 00:03:12.900
years<00:03:09.719><c> old,</c><00:03:10.379><c> how</c><00:03:10.680><c> that</c><00:03:10.960><c> 200</c><00:03:11.400><c> years</c><00:03:11.740><c> played</c><00:03:12.080><c> out</c><00:03:12.319><c> in</c><00:03:12.500><c> their</c><00:03:12.719><c> life?</c>

00:03:12.900 --> 00:03:15.759
When<00:03:13.759><c> did</c><00:03:13.900><c> they</c><00:03:14.039><c> go</c><00:03:14.280><c> through</c><00:03:14.860><c> maturity?</c>

00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:18.759
How<00:03:16.300><c> old</c><00:03:16.560><c> were</c><00:03:16.719><c> they</c><00:03:16.860><c> when</c><00:03:16.939><c> they</c><00:03:17.159><c> finally</c><00:03:17.479><c> became</c><00:03:17.919><c> sexually</c><00:03:18.340><c> active?</c>

00:03:19.060 --> 00:03:20.960
They<00:03:19.300><c> went</c><00:03:19.479><c> through</c><00:03:19.919><c> those</c><00:03:20.280><c> teen</c><00:03:20.639><c> years.</c>

00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.419
Instead<00:03:21.719><c> of</c><00:03:21.900><c> teen</c><00:03:22.159><c> years,</c><00:03:22.360><c> were</c><00:03:22.460><c> they</c><00:03:22.639><c> really</c><00:03:23.139><c> like</c><00:03:23.300><c> 40s</c><00:03:23.699><c> years</c><00:03:24.080><c> or</c>

00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:26.300
50s<00:03:25.060><c> years</c><00:03:25.259><c> or</c><00:03:25.379><c> something</c><00:03:25.659><c> like</c><00:03:25.960><c> that?</c>

00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:30.219
Were<00:03:26.599><c> really</c><00:03:27.280><c> young</c><00:03:27.599><c> children</c><00:03:28.039><c> for</c><00:03:28.340><c> like</c><00:03:28.719><c> 30</c><00:03:28.960><c> years</c><00:03:29.319><c> or</c><00:03:29.439><c> something</c><00:03:29.719><c> like</c><00:03:30.020><c> that?</c>

00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:31.900
Little<00:03:30.879><c> tots</c><00:03:31.159><c> running</c><00:03:31.479><c> around?</c>

00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:33.080
Have<00:03:32.400><c> you</c><00:03:32.400><c> ever</c><00:03:32.539><c> wondered</c><00:03:32.800><c> that?</c>

00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.099
In<00:03:33.599><c> this</c><00:03:33.860><c> case,</c><00:03:34.240><c> at</c><00:03:34.240><c> least,</c><00:03:34.659><c> this</c><00:03:34.879><c> is</c><00:03:35.120><c> a</c><00:03:35.280><c> piece</c><00:03:35.479><c> of</c><00:03:35.680><c> the</c><00:03:35.860><c> answer</c>

00:03:36.099 --> 00:03:36.539
to<00:03:36.319><c> that.</c>

00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:42.219
Because<00:03:36.800><c> you</c><00:03:36.979><c> can</c><00:03:37.280><c> see</c><00:03:37.620><c> that</c><00:03:38.240><c> definitely</c><00:03:38.639><c> when</c><00:03:38.900><c> you</c><00:03:39.199><c> lived</c><00:03:39.460><c> longer,</c><00:03:40.639><c> that</c><00:03:40.819><c> women</c><00:03:41.180><c> were</c><00:03:41.719><c> able</c><00:03:41.979><c> to</c>

00:03:42.219 --> 00:03:43.439
bear<00:03:42.400><c> children</c><00:03:42.979><c> longer.</c>

00:03:43.939 --> 00:03:47.280
So<00:03:44.319><c> somehow</c><00:03:44.740><c> God</c><00:03:45.120><c> stretched</c><00:03:45.780><c> out</c><00:03:46.139><c> that</c><00:03:46.419><c> whole</c><00:03:46.680><c> period</c><00:03:47.039><c> of</c>

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:47.800
their<00:03:47.520><c> life.</c>

00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.180
And<00:03:48.240><c> you</c><00:03:48.379><c> can</c><00:03:48.699><c> see</c><00:03:48.900><c> that</c><00:03:49.139><c> at</c><00:03:49.439><c> 75</c><00:03:49.900><c> years</c><00:03:50.300><c> old,</c><00:03:50.639><c> Sarah's</c><00:03:50.939><c> still</c>

00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:55.000
thinking,<00:03:51.539><c> well,</c><00:03:51.759><c> we're</c><00:03:51.979><c> getting</c><00:03:52.180><c> near</c><00:03:52.479><c> the</c><00:03:52.719><c> end</c><00:03:52.900><c> of</c><00:03:53.379><c> the</c><00:03:53.599><c> possibility</c><00:03:54.240><c> for</c><00:03:54.560><c> her.</c>

00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.580
And<00:03:55.460><c> that</c><00:03:55.639><c> maybe</c><00:03:55.960><c> Abraham,</c><00:03:56.580><c> he's</c><00:03:56.900><c> at</c><00:03:57.099><c> 85.</c>

00:03:57.780 --> 00:04:00.259
So<00:03:58.039><c> maybe</c><00:03:58.319><c> we</c><00:03:58.500><c> ought</c><00:03:58.620><c> to</c><00:03:58.759><c> try</c><00:03:59.000><c> something</c><00:03:59.319><c> else</c><00:03:59.599><c> while</c><00:03:59.719><c> we</c><00:03:59.960><c> still</c><00:04:00.120><c> have</c>

00:04:00.259 --> 00:04:01.139
a<00:04:00.439><c> few</c><00:04:00.580><c> years</c><00:04:00.819><c> left.</c>

00:04:01.139 --> 00:04:04.539
I<00:04:01.639><c> think</c><00:04:01.860><c> today,</c><00:04:02.439><c> if</c><00:04:02.599><c> a</c><00:04:02.819><c> fellow</c><00:04:02.939><c> is</c><00:04:03.139><c> 85</c><00:04:03.580><c> years</c><00:04:03.939><c> old,</c><00:04:04.099><c> we</c><00:04:04.319><c> start</c>

00:04:04.539 --> 00:04:06.740
feeling<00:04:04.860><c> like</c><00:04:05.180><c> you're</c><00:04:05.500><c> probably</c><00:04:05.699><c> already</c><00:04:06.139><c> beyond</c><00:04:06.460><c> the</c><00:04:06.620><c> years</c>

00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:07.759
of<00:04:07.020><c> childbearing.</c>

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.120
Whereas<00:04:08.400><c> for</c><00:04:08.680><c> Abraham</c><00:04:09.020><c> and</c><00:04:09.280><c> Sarah,</c><00:04:09.879><c> they</c><00:04:09.879><c> felt</c><00:04:10.120><c> like</c><00:04:10.340><c> they</c><00:04:10.439><c> were</c><00:04:10.719><c> still</c><00:04:10.979><c> at</c>

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:11.780
this<00:04:11.419><c> period.</c>

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.240

00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.120
And<00:05:07.379><c> try</c><00:05:07.579><c> to</c><00:05:07.860><c> play</c><00:05:07.980><c> this</c><00:05:08.199><c> out</c><00:05:08.360><c> in</c><00:05:08.579><c> such</c><00:05:08.740><c> a</c><00:05:08.899><c> way</c><00:05:09.040><c> that,</c><00:05:09.560><c> well,</c><00:05:09.759><c> how</c><00:05:09.980><c> do</c>

00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:11.000
we<00:05:10.300><c> work</c><00:05:10.439><c> this</c><00:05:10.720><c> out?</c>

00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.019
And<00:05:11.319><c> so</c><00:05:11.399><c> they're</c><00:05:11.600><c> trying</c><00:05:11.839><c> to</c><00:05:12.019><c> do</c><00:05:12.100><c> it</c><00:05:12.180><c> from</c><00:05:12.339><c> the</c><00:05:12.579><c> bottom</c><00:05:12.779><c> up.</c>

00:05:13.100 --> 00:05:15.740
Not<00:05:13.339><c> realizing</c><00:05:13.779><c> that</c><00:05:14.079><c> God</c><00:05:14.319><c> had</c><00:05:14.500><c> it</c><00:05:14.680><c> all</c><00:05:14.860><c> worked</c><00:05:15.040><c> out</c><00:05:15.319><c> from</c><00:05:15.519><c> the</c>

top<00:05:15.959><c> down.</c>

00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.480
So<00:05:17.220><c> God</c><00:05:17.420><c> had</c><00:05:17.720><c> promised</c><00:05:17.959><c> Abraham</c><00:05:18.360><c> a</c><00:05:18.600><c> seed</c><00:05:18.800><c> and</c><00:05:19.000><c> he</c><00:05:19.199><c> promised</c>

00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:20.399

00:05:20.459 --> 00:05:22.699
But<00:05:20.720><c> really</c><00:05:21.060><c> hadn't</c><00:05:21.360><c> explained</c><00:05:21.720><c> how</c><00:05:21.879><c> that</c><00:05:22.060><c> was</c><00:05:22.199><c> going</c><00:05:22.319><c> to</c><00:05:22.500><c> happen.</c>

00:05:22.699 --> 00:05:25.480
So<00:05:23.519><c> Sarai</c><00:05:23.959><c> comes</c><00:05:24.220><c> up</c><00:05:24.379><c> with</c><00:05:24.560><c> a</c><00:05:24.720><c> plan.</c>

00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.839
Now,<00:05:26.519><c> again,</c><00:05:27.000><c> you</c><00:05:27.220><c> can</c><00:05:27.439><c> say,</c><00:05:27.839><c> well,</c><00:05:27.839><c> this</c><00:05:28.040><c> is</c><00:05:28.180><c> lack</c><00:05:28.360><c> of</c><00:05:28.660><c> faith.</c>

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.600
And<00:05:29.300><c> some</c><00:05:29.480><c> people</c><00:05:29.740><c> do.</c><00:05:30.079><c> I've</c><00:05:30.360><c> listened</c><00:05:30.540><c> to</c><00:05:30.860><c> classes</c><00:05:31.139><c> by</c><00:05:31.480><c> our</c>

Christadelphian<00:05:32.040><c> brethren.</c>

00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.660
They<00:05:32.560><c> just</c><00:05:32.819><c> figured</c><00:05:33.000><c> that</c><00:05:33.240><c> they</c><00:05:33.480><c> lacked</c><00:05:33.759><c> faith.</c>

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.939
But<00:05:34.879><c> I</c><00:05:35.060><c> don't</c><00:05:35.240><c> really</c><00:05:35.560><c> think</c><00:05:35.740><c> at</c><00:05:35.939><c> this</c><00:05:36.180><c> point</c><00:05:36.379><c> in</c><00:05:36.620><c> time</c><00:05:36.819><c> that</c>

00:05:36.939 --> 00:05:37.839
that's<00:05:37.300><c> the</c><00:05:37.500><c> case.</c>

00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:39.680
It<00:05:38.279><c> wasn't</c><00:05:38.540><c> a</c><00:05:38.720><c> matter</c><00:05:38.899><c> of</c><00:05:39.040><c> lack</c><00:05:39.220><c> of</c><00:05:39.519><c> faith.</c>

00:05:39.740 --> 00:05:43.079
They<00:05:40.060><c> just</c><00:05:40.600><c> didn't</c><00:05:41.180><c> understand</c><00:05:41.800><c> how</c><00:05:42.100><c> it</c><00:05:42.259><c> was</c><00:05:42.420><c> going</c><00:05:42.540><c> to</c><00:05:42.800><c> happen.</c>

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.180
And<00:05:43.800><c> at</c><00:05:43.980><c> the</c><00:05:44.199><c> same</c><00:05:44.439><c> time,</c><00:05:44.699><c> they're</c><00:05:44.920><c> feeling</c><00:05:45.220><c> like,</c><00:05:45.540><c> well,</c><00:05:45.779><c> things</c><00:05:46.000><c> are</c>

00:05:46.180 --> 00:05:47.279
getting<00:05:46.379><c> on</c><00:05:46.699><c> a</c><00:05:46.839><c> little</c><00:05:47.060><c> bit.</c>

00:05:47.579 --> 00:05:49.540
So<00:05:47.740><c> you</c><00:05:47.939><c> could</c><00:05:48.120><c> say</c><00:05:48.379><c> that,</c><00:05:48.579><c> well,</c><00:05:48.819><c> maybe</c><00:05:49.040><c> they</c><00:05:49.240><c> should</c><00:05:49.360><c> have</c>

00:05:49.540 --> 00:05:50.660
waited<00:05:49.680><c> more</c><00:05:50.000><c> and</c><00:05:50.160><c> waited</c><00:05:50.339><c> more.</c>

00:05:50.660 --> 00:05:53.220
But<00:05:50.879><c> then</c><00:05:51.120><c> again,</c><00:05:51.699><c> look</c><00:05:52.040><c> at</c><00:05:52.199><c> our</c><00:05:52.379><c> lives,</c><00:05:52.620><c> what</c><00:05:52.779><c> we</c><00:05:52.939><c> do.</c>

00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.339
We<00:05:53.899><c> feel</c><00:05:54.259><c> sometimes</c><00:05:54.680><c> like</c><00:05:54.839><c> we</c><00:05:54.939><c> have</c><00:05:55.040><c> to</c><00:05:55.160><c> act</c><00:05:55.459><c> with</c><00:05:55.639><c> our</c><00:05:55.819><c> children,</c><00:05:56.180><c> with</c>

00:05:57.220 --> 00:06:00.959
You<00:05:57.319><c> don't</c><00:05:57.480><c> just</c><00:05:57.740><c> let</c><00:05:58.079><c> things</c><00:05:58.379><c> drag</c><00:05:58.779><c> out</c><00:05:59.120><c> because</c><00:05:59.560><c> then</c><00:05:59.819><c> you're</c><00:06:00.100><c> afraid</c><00:06:00.360><c> you'll</c><00:06:00.740><c> stand</c>

00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:01.240
there<00:06:01.120><c> and</c><00:06:01.180><c> say,</c>

00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.100
well,<00:06:01.399><c> I</c><00:06:01.459><c> should</c><00:06:01.660><c> have</c><00:06:01.759><c> done</c><00:06:01.980><c> something</c><00:06:02.319><c> earlier</c><00:06:02.720><c> on</c><00:06:02.920><c> and</c><00:06:03.100><c> intervene</c><00:06:03.639><c> rather</c><00:06:04.139><c> than</c><00:06:04.360><c> letting</c><00:06:04.579><c> time</c><00:06:04.899><c> go</c>

00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:05.779
on<00:06:05.259><c> too</c><00:06:05.540><c> long.</c>

00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.920
So<00:06:06.500><c> what</c><00:06:06.740><c> she</c><00:06:07.000><c> does</c><00:06:07.259><c> is</c><00:06:07.399><c> she</c><00:06:07.540><c> comes</c><00:06:07.759><c> up</c><00:06:07.920><c> with</c><00:06:08.040><c> a</c><00:06:08.279><c> plan,</c><00:06:08.740><c> Sarah</c>

00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.500
does,<00:06:09.379><c> and</c><00:06:09.740><c> her</c><00:06:10.139><c> plan</c><00:06:10.420><c> isn't</c><00:06:10.759><c> outside</c><00:06:11.500><c> of</c><00:06:11.759><c> God's</c><00:06:12.240><c> realm.</c>

00:06:12.779 --> 00:06:15.439
It's<00:06:12.939><c> not</c><00:06:13.079><c> like</c><00:06:13.240><c> she's</c><00:06:13.579><c> trying</c><00:06:13.720><c> to</c><00:06:13.959><c> do</c><00:06:14.060><c> this</c><00:06:14.360><c> independent</c><00:06:14.839><c> of</c><00:06:15.160><c> God.</c>

00:06:15.740 --> 00:06:18.500
She's<00:06:16.199><c> hoping</c><00:06:16.560><c> that</c><00:06:16.839><c> God</c><00:06:17.120><c> will</c><00:06:17.439><c> bless</c><00:06:17.779><c> this</c><00:06:18.100><c> scenario.</c>

00:06:18.579 --> 00:06:19.959
That's<00:06:18.920><c> what</c><00:06:19.019><c> she's</c><00:06:19.300><c> actually</c><00:06:19.620><c> after.</c>

00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.379
And<00:06:20.379><c> that</c><00:06:20.560><c> would</c><00:06:20.860><c> not</c><00:06:21.060><c> have</c><00:06:21.220><c> been</c><00:06:21.319><c> an</c><00:06:21.519><c> easy</c><00:06:21.759><c> thing</c><00:06:21.980><c> for</c><00:06:22.220><c> Sarah</c>

00:06:22.379 --> 00:06:22.899
to<00:06:22.540><c> do.</c>

00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:25.699
I<00:06:23.180><c> mean,</c><00:06:23.180><c> you</c><00:06:23.339><c> talk</c><00:06:23.480><c> about</c><00:06:23.759><c> faith</c><00:06:24.220><c> to</c><00:06:24.660><c> be</c><00:06:24.839><c> able</c><00:06:25.019><c> to</c><00:06:25.220><c> now</c><00:06:25.439><c> say</c>

00:06:25.699 --> 00:06:27.259
that<00:06:25.920><c> here</c><00:06:26.060><c> you</c><00:06:26.220><c> have</c><00:06:26.379><c> your</c><00:06:26.779><c> husband,</c>

00:06:27.300 --> 00:06:30.019
that<00:06:27.439><c> you're</c><00:06:27.639><c> now</c><00:06:27.819><c> going</c><00:06:28.019><c> to</c><00:06:28.120><c> take</c><00:06:28.279><c> your</c><00:06:28.620><c> handmaid</c><00:06:29.480><c> and</c><00:06:29.720><c> offer</c>

00:06:30.019 --> 00:06:31.899
her<00:06:30.259><c> to</c><00:06:30.459><c> your</c><00:06:30.660><c> husband</c><00:06:31.060><c> as</c><00:06:31.319><c> a</c><00:06:31.600><c> wife.</c>

00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.920
And<00:06:32.279><c> now</c><00:06:32.579><c> you</c><00:06:32.800><c> know</c><00:06:33.019><c> that</c><00:06:33.139><c> you're</c><00:06:33.300><c> going</c><00:06:33.399><c> to</c><00:06:33.540><c> have</c><00:06:33.680><c> this</c><00:06:34.060><c> conflict</c><00:06:34.459><c> involved</c><00:06:34.779><c> in</c>

00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:35.480
your<00:06:35.139><c> family.</c>

00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.680
But<00:06:36.120><c> at</c><00:06:36.339><c> the</c><00:06:36.500><c> same</c><00:06:36.720><c> time,</c><00:06:36.939><c> she's</c><00:06:37.240><c> trying</c><00:06:37.420><c> to</c><00:06:37.699><c> find</c><00:06:37.939><c> some</c><00:06:38.360><c> way</c>

00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.680
of<00:06:38.939><c> working</c><00:06:39.160><c> this</c><00:06:39.459><c> out</c><00:06:39.779><c> and</c><00:06:40.180><c> really</c><00:06:40.519><c> satisfying</c><00:06:41.100><c> what</c><00:06:41.360><c> God</c>

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:42.500
had<00:06:42.000><c> said</c>

00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:45.560
and<00:06:43.040><c> not</c><00:06:43.259><c> really</c><00:06:43.560><c> understanding</c><00:06:44.000><c> yet</c><00:06:44.259><c> how</c><00:06:44.480><c> God</c><00:06:44.759><c> had</c><00:06:44.939><c> it</c><00:06:45.079><c> all</c><00:06:45.339><c> planned.</c>

00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:48.240
And<00:06:46.120><c> so</c><00:06:46.279><c> Abraham</c><00:06:46.680><c> goes</c><00:06:46.939><c> along</c><00:06:47.240><c> with</c><00:06:47.500><c> Sarah's</c><00:06:47.839><c> plan.</c>

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.439
Interesting<00:06:48.839><c> concept</c><00:06:49.439><c> that</c><00:06:49.740><c> Abraham</c><00:06:50.439><c> could</c><00:06:50.639><c> have</c><00:06:50.779><c> said</c><00:06:50.939><c> no,</c>

00:06:51.779 --> 00:06:53.100
but<00:06:51.899><c> Abraham</c><00:06:52.300><c> went</c><00:06:52.480><c> along</c><00:06:52.740><c> with</c><00:06:52.939><c> it.</c>

00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:54.680
So<00:06:53.300><c> they</c><00:06:53.439><c> were</c><00:06:53.699><c> in</c><00:06:53.800><c> it</c><00:06:54.240><c> together.</c>

00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:56.899
And<00:06:55.319><c> that's</c><00:06:55.500><c> what</c><00:06:55.560><c> you</c><00:06:55.759><c> find</c><00:06:55.980><c> about</c><00:06:56.180><c> Abraham</c><00:06:56.560><c> and</c><00:06:56.800><c> Sarah.</c>

00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.259
It's<00:06:57.079><c> one</c><00:06:57.180><c> of</c><00:06:57.240><c> the</c><00:06:57.399><c> great</c><00:06:57.639><c> things</c><00:06:57.920><c> about</c><00:06:58.160><c> their</c><00:06:58.420><c> marriage</c><00:06:58.740><c> is</c>

00:06:59.259 --> 00:07:01.160
that<00:06:59.480><c> their</c><00:06:59.680><c> marriage,</c><00:07:00.060><c> it's</c><00:07:00.579><c> stuck</c><00:07:00.699><c> together.</c>

00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:05.019
And<00:07:01.360><c> they</c><00:07:02.339><c> are</c><00:07:02.519><c> probably</c><00:07:02.800><c> the</c><00:07:03.120><c> best</c><00:07:03.560><c> couple</c><00:07:03.980><c> in</c><00:07:04.220><c> the</c><00:07:04.379><c> Bible</c><00:07:04.639><c> to</c>

00:07:05.019 --> 00:07:07.579
study<00:07:05.339><c> if</c><00:07:05.740><c> you're</c><00:07:05.980><c> ever</c><00:07:06.180><c> experiencing</c><00:07:06.720><c> marital</c><00:07:07.100><c> problems.</c>

00:07:07.899 --> 00:07:10.759
And<00:07:08.079><c> you</c><00:07:08.180><c> want</c><00:07:08.339><c> your</c><00:07:08.579><c> marriage</c><00:07:08.779><c> to</c><00:07:08.959><c> be</c><00:07:09.079><c> a</c><00:07:09.199><c> success</c><00:07:09.720><c> because</c><00:07:10.420><c> in</c>

00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:12.660
everything<00:07:11.220><c> they</c><00:07:11.699><c> worked</c><00:07:12.040><c> together</c>

00:07:12.660 --> 00:07:15.160
and<00:07:13.019><c> they</c><00:07:13.339><c> constantly</c><00:07:13.879><c> defer</c><00:07:14.399><c> to</c><00:07:14.600><c> one</c><00:07:14.839><c> another.</c>

00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.079
It's<00:07:15.699><c> not</c><00:07:15.879><c> that</c><00:07:16.180><c> Abraham,</c><00:07:16.819><c> he</c><00:07:17.399><c> doesn't</c><00:07:17.639><c> always</c><00:07:18.019><c> tell</c><00:07:18.699><c> Sarah</c>

00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.040
what<00:07:19.279><c> to</c><00:07:19.579><c> do</c><00:07:19.839><c> and</c><00:07:20.180><c> Sarah</c><00:07:20.439><c> doesn't</c><00:07:20.680><c> always</c><00:07:21.019><c> tell</c><00:07:21.199><c> him</c><00:07:21.420><c> what</c><00:07:21.620><c> to</c><00:07:21.779><c> do.</c>

00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.319
It's<00:07:22.560><c> that</c><00:07:22.660><c> they</c><00:07:22.959><c> sort</c><00:07:23.100><c> of</c><00:07:23.319><c> like</c><00:07:23.560><c> take</c><00:07:23.759><c> turns</c><00:07:24.220><c> in</c><00:07:24.360><c> terms</c><00:07:24.699><c> of</c><00:07:24.899><c> it.</c>

00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:27.620
It's<00:07:25.579><c> like</c><00:07:25.699><c> they</c><00:07:25.839><c> had</c><00:07:26.019><c> a</c><00:07:26.339><c> divided</c><00:07:26.639><c> up</c><00:07:26.920><c> thing</c><00:07:27.079><c> in</c><00:07:27.240><c> the</c><00:07:27.420><c> family</c>

00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:30.600
and<00:07:27.860><c> understood</c><00:07:28.339><c> that</c><00:07:28.620><c> there</c><00:07:28.819><c> were</c><00:07:29.060><c> areas</c><00:07:29.319><c> that</c><00:07:29.639><c> Sarah</c><00:07:30.360><c> was</c>

00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:31.180
in<00:07:30.800><c> control</c><00:07:31.079><c> of</c>

00:07:31.180 --> 00:07:33.819
and<00:07:31.500><c> there</c><00:07:31.600><c> were</c><00:07:31.779><c> areas</c><00:07:32.040><c> that</c><00:07:32.279><c> Abraham</c><00:07:32.680><c> was</c><00:07:33.000><c> responsible</c><00:07:33.480><c> for.</c>

00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.439
And<00:07:34.259><c> they</c><00:07:34.339><c> would</c><00:07:34.560><c> defer</c><00:07:34.959><c> to</c><00:07:35.139><c> one</c><00:07:35.319><c> another</c><00:07:35.639><c> at</c><00:07:35.920><c> times</c><00:07:36.120><c> and</c><00:07:36.319><c> say,</c>

that<00:07:39.600><c> way.</c>

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.819
And<00:07:40.399><c> that's</c><00:07:40.740><c> a</c><00:07:41.000><c> great</c><00:07:41.180><c> respect</c><00:07:41.699><c> that</c><00:07:41.860><c> they</c><00:07:42.019><c> had</c><00:07:42.180><c> for</c><00:07:42.420><c> one</c><00:07:42.560><c> another.</c>

00:07:42.819 --> 00:07:45.459
It<00:07:42.939><c> wasn't</c><00:07:43.199><c> a</c><00:07:43.360><c> case</c><00:07:43.519><c> where</c><00:07:43.720><c> Abraham</c><00:07:44.100><c> always</c><00:07:44.560><c> came</c><00:07:44.759><c> in</c><00:07:44.980><c> and</c><00:07:45.019><c> said,</c><00:07:45.199><c> well,</c><00:07:45.360><c> you</c>

00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:53.120
And<00:07:50.540><c> even</c><00:07:50.899><c> like</c><00:07:51.100><c> when</c><00:07:51.240><c> the</c><00:07:51.439><c> strangers</c><00:07:51.699><c> come,</c><00:07:52.060><c> they</c><00:07:52.120><c> even</c><00:07:52.500><c> shared</c><00:07:52.740><c> the</c>

00:07:54.579 --> 00:07:56.680

00:08:02.620 --> 00:08:05.459
Interesting<00:08:03.019><c> that</c><00:08:03.220><c> he</c><00:08:03.480><c> got</c><00:08:03.680><c> involved</c><00:08:04.120><c> and</c><00:08:04.500><c> he</c><00:08:04.959><c> was</c><00:08:05.199><c> helping</c>

00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:10.480
So<00:08:07.600><c> what</c><00:08:07.839><c> a</c><00:08:08.079><c> great</c><00:08:08.240><c> working</c><00:08:08.560><c> relationship</c><00:08:09.180><c> those</c><00:08:09.439><c> two</c><00:08:09.639><c> had.</c>

00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.079
Now,<00:08:11.600><c> the</c><00:08:11.740><c> big</c><00:08:11.959><c> question</c><00:08:12.319><c> comes</c><00:08:12.620><c> up.</c>

00:08:13.259 --> 00:08:15.319
Here's<00:08:13.480><c> the</c><00:08:13.639><c> question</c><00:08:13.939><c> for</c><00:08:14.180><c> you.</c>

00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:21.319
Why<00:08:16.300><c> did</c><00:08:16.720><c> God</c><00:08:17.100><c> make</c><00:08:17.600><c> them</c><00:08:17.860><c> wait</c><00:08:18.379><c> so</c><00:08:19.040><c> long</c><00:08:19.500><c> to</c><00:08:20.079><c> have</c><00:08:20.259><c> a</c><00:08:20.439><c> child?</c>

Now,<00:08:25.259><c> I</c><00:08:25.360><c> don't</c><00:08:25.540><c> really</c><00:08:25.839><c> think</c><00:08:26.000><c> it's</c><00:08:26.240><c> about</c><00:08:26.500><c> faith</c><00:08:26.819><c> myself.</c>

00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:29.459
I<00:08:27.579><c> don't</c><00:08:27.779><c> think</c><00:08:27.899><c> that's</c><00:08:28.300><c> the</c><00:08:28.420><c> solution</c><00:08:28.720><c> because</c><00:08:28.980><c> I</c><00:08:29.160><c> think</c><00:08:29.259><c> we</c>

00:08:40.740 --> 00:08:42.139
What's<00:08:41.159><c> God</c><00:08:41.279><c> doing</c><00:08:41.580><c> back</c><00:08:41.879><c> here?</c>

00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:45.720
Why<00:08:42.539><c> did</c><00:08:42.700><c> the</c><00:08:42.980><c> angels</c><00:08:43.320><c> choose</c><00:08:43.639><c> to</c><00:08:43.940><c> wait</c><00:08:44.340><c> 10</c><00:08:44.720><c> years</c><00:08:45.039><c> like</c><00:08:45.360><c> this</c>

probably<00:11:38.539><c> picked</c><00:11:38.759><c> up</c><00:11:38.940><c> a</c><00:11:39.080><c> younger</c><00:11:39.299><c> woman.</c>

00:11:39.700 --> 00:11:42.440
And<00:11:39.860><c> imagine</c><00:11:40.100><c> as</c><00:11:40.279><c> you're</c><00:11:40.419><c> getting</c><00:11:40.620><c> older,</c><00:11:41.080><c> you</c><00:11:41.200><c> know,</c><00:11:41.360><c> imagine</c><00:11:41.659><c> how</c><00:11:41.860><c> that</c><00:11:42.039><c> would</c><00:11:42.220><c> be</c>

00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.639
that<00:11:42.559><c> you</c><00:11:42.679><c> now</c><00:11:42.940><c> are</c><00:11:43.120><c> going</c><00:11:43.320><c> to</c><00:11:43.460><c> offer</c><00:11:43.840><c> a</c><00:11:44.500><c> younger</c><00:11:44.919><c> woman</c><00:11:45.419><c> to</c>

00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.240
your<00:11:45.860><c> husband.</c>

00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:49.500
It's<00:11:46.659><c> like</c><00:11:46.899><c> you</c><00:11:47.320><c> talk</c><00:11:47.559><c> about</c><00:11:47.940><c> faith</c><00:11:48.360><c> and</c><00:11:48.639><c> believing</c><00:11:49.000><c> that</c><00:11:49.299><c> God</c>

00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:51.059
is<00:11:49.720><c> going</c><00:11:49.799><c> to</c><00:11:50.000><c> somehow</c><00:11:50.320><c> work</c><00:11:50.659><c> in</c><00:11:50.840><c> this.</c>

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:55.299
I<00:11:51.759><c> really</c><00:11:52.080><c> think</c><00:11:52.299><c> Sarah</c><00:11:52.580><c> was</c><00:11:52.779><c> a</c><00:11:53.059><c> champion</c><00:11:53.360><c> of</c><00:11:53.600><c> faith</c><00:11:53.740><c> to</c><00:11:53.980><c> somehow</c><00:11:54.299><c> be</c><00:11:54.679><c> willing</c><00:11:54.960><c> to</c>

00:11:55.299 --> 00:11:56.700
humble<00:11:55.519><c> herself</c><00:11:56.000><c> like</c><00:11:56.279><c> that</c>

00:11:56.700 --> 00:11:59.539
and<00:11:57.159><c> stoop</c><00:11:57.360><c> to</c><00:11:57.539><c> this</c><00:11:57.820><c> point</c><00:11:58.039><c> of</c><00:11:58.320><c> realizing</c><00:11:58.679><c> that</c><00:11:59.100><c> maybe</c><00:11:59.340><c> this</c>

00:11:59.539 --> 00:12:01.700
is<00:11:59.679><c> what</c><00:11:59.799><c> I'm</c><00:12:00.019><c> supposed</c><00:12:00.220><c> to</c><00:12:00.399><c> do</c><00:12:00.539><c> to</c><00:12:00.940><c> work</c><00:12:01.100><c> this</c><00:12:01.399><c> out.</c>

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:03.419
And<00:12:02.200><c> that's</c><00:12:02.720><c> not</c><00:12:03.039><c> unfaith.</c>

00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:06.100
That's<00:12:03.860><c> a</c><00:12:03.980><c> tremendous</c><00:12:04.399><c> amount</c><00:12:04.700><c> of</c><00:12:04.860><c> faith</c><00:12:05.000><c> to</c><00:12:05.220><c> believe</c><00:12:05.399><c> somehow</c><00:12:05.799><c> that</c>

00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:07.320
God<00:12:06.399><c> would</c><00:12:06.639><c> work</c><00:12:06.879><c> in</c><00:12:07.080><c> that</c>

00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.980
and<00:12:07.600><c> that</c><00:12:07.779><c> the</c><00:12:08.059><c> relationship</c><00:12:08.559><c> that</c><00:12:08.799><c> Abraham</c><00:12:09.139><c> and</c><00:12:09.419><c> Sarah</c><00:12:09.740><c> had</c>

00:12:09.980 --> 00:12:11.419
would<00:12:10.240><c> still</c><00:12:10.580><c> hang</c><00:12:10.820><c> together.</c>

00:12:11.419 --> 00:12:14.259
When<00:12:12.240><c> you</c><00:12:12.399><c> look</c><00:12:12.519><c> at</c><00:12:12.639><c> her</c><00:12:12.820><c> name,</c><00:12:13.220><c> the</c><00:12:13.360><c> name</c><00:12:13.600><c> of</c><00:12:13.899><c> Hagar,</c><00:12:14.159><c> it</c>

00:12:14.259 --> 00:12:15.360
actually<00:12:14.480><c> means</c><00:12:14.879><c> flight.</c>

00:12:15.860 --> 00:12:18.379
And<00:12:16.039><c> you'd</c><00:12:16.259><c> be</c><00:12:16.440><c> surprised</c><00:12:16.759><c> that</c><00:12:17.179><c> she</c><00:12:17.500><c> lives</c><00:12:17.740><c> up</c><00:12:17.980><c> to</c><00:12:18.080><c> her</c><00:12:18.220><c> name.</c>

00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:19.519
Twice<00:12:18.740><c> she</c><00:12:18.980><c> flees.</c>

00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:22.200
So<00:12:20.059><c> it</c><00:12:20.240><c> may</c><00:12:20.419><c> be</c><00:12:20.639><c> that</c><00:12:20.799><c> the</c><00:12:20.980><c> name</c><00:12:21.120><c> is</c><00:12:21.379><c> actually</c><00:12:21.679><c> connected</c><00:12:22.019><c> with</c>

00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:23.399
what<00:12:22.340><c> she</c><00:12:22.580><c> does.</c>

00:12:23.539 --> 00:12:27.059
And<00:12:23.720><c> once</c><00:12:23.980><c> she</c><00:12:24.320><c> conceives</c><00:12:24.779><c> by</c><00:12:25.059><c> Abraham,</c><00:12:25.720><c> well,</c><00:12:26.220><c> that's</c><00:12:26.860><c> when</c>

00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:28.899
all<00:12:27.299><c> the</c><00:12:27.500><c> trouble</c><00:12:27.700><c> breaks</c><00:12:28.059><c> out,</c><00:12:28.379><c> you</c><00:12:28.659><c> see.</c>

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:33.340
As<00:12:29.740><c> soon</c><00:12:30.019><c> as</c><00:12:30.639><c> Sarah,</c><00:12:31.340><c> or</c><00:12:31.460><c> as</c><00:12:31.539><c> soon</c><00:12:31.659><c> as</c><00:12:31.879><c> Hagar</c><00:12:32.139><c> conceived,</c>

00:12:33.820 --> 00:12:37.759
everybody<00:12:34.340><c> at</c><00:12:34.820><c> Abraham's</c><00:12:35.700><c> camp</c><00:12:35.980><c> would</c><00:12:36.279><c> have</c><00:12:36.440><c> known</c><00:12:36.820><c> that</c><00:12:37.379><c> the</c>

00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.820
problem<00:12:38.139><c> isn't</c><00:12:38.600><c> Abraham,</c><00:12:39.700><c> the</c><00:12:40.000><c> problem</c><00:12:40.500><c> is</c><00:12:40.960><c> Sarah.</c>

00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.139
We<00:12:43.840><c> sort</c><00:12:44.139><c> of</c><00:12:44.240><c> read</c><00:12:44.460><c> over</c><00:12:44.700><c> this</c><00:12:44.840><c> sometimes,</c><00:12:45.320><c> and</c><00:12:45.480><c> we</c><00:12:45.539><c> don't</c><00:12:45.700><c> really</c><00:12:45.960><c> get</c>

00:12:46.139 --> 00:12:47.440
into<00:12:46.340><c> the</c><00:12:46.600><c> feelings</c><00:12:46.860><c> of</c><00:12:47.039><c> the</c><00:12:47.220><c> people.</c>

00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:50.759
Imagine<00:12:48.200><c> how</c><00:12:48.679><c> Sarah</c><00:12:48.980><c> felt,</c><00:12:49.460><c> though,</c><00:12:49.580><c> when</c><00:12:49.779><c> she</c><00:12:50.000><c> gave</c><00:12:50.259><c> her</c><00:12:50.480><c> her</c>

00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.480
handmaid<00:12:51.080><c> and</c><00:12:51.240><c> wondered,</c><00:12:51.580><c> is</c><00:12:51.700><c> this</c><00:12:51.899><c> going</c><00:12:52.059><c> to</c><00:12:52.220><c> work?</c>

00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:54.159
And<00:12:53.019><c> then</c><00:12:53.240><c> God</c><00:12:53.440><c> blesses</c><00:12:54.000><c> it.</c>

00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.379
And<00:12:54.460><c> Abraham</c><00:12:54.860><c> has</c><00:12:55.139><c> a</c><00:12:55.419><c> child</c><00:12:55.639><c> now</c><00:12:55.960><c> that</c><00:12:56.379><c> Hagar's</c><00:12:56.940><c> conceived,</c>

00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:58.200
and<00:12:57.559><c> she's</c><00:12:57.820><c> pregnant.</c>

00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:02.460
And<00:12:58.820><c> now</c><00:12:59.379><c> everybody</c><00:13:00.039><c> in</c><00:13:00.220><c> the</c><00:13:00.440><c> whole</c><00:13:00.679><c> community,</c><00:13:01.279><c> they</c><00:13:01.440><c> can</c><00:13:01.620><c> all</c><00:13:01.799><c> look</c><00:13:01.960><c> at</c><00:13:02.139><c> Sarah.</c>

00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.200
And<00:13:02.679><c> she's</c><00:13:02.860><c> going</c><00:13:02.960><c> to</c><00:13:03.120><c> look</c><00:13:03.279><c> like</c><00:13:03.779><c> Hannah</c><00:13:04.340><c> and</c><00:13:04.759><c> Samuel.</c>

00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:08.700

00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:11.000
And<00:13:08.919><c> you</c><00:13:09.139><c> know</c><00:13:09.240><c> how</c><00:13:09.419><c> they</c><00:13:09.659><c> feel.</c><00:13:10.100><c> They</c><00:13:10.279><c> feel</c><00:13:10.580><c> like</c><00:13:10.820><c> they're</c>

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:11.679
the<00:13:11.139><c> barren</c><00:13:11.519><c> one.</c>

00:13:11.860 --> 00:13:14.259
They<00:13:11.919><c> feel</c><00:13:12.139><c> like</c><00:13:12.379><c> God</c><00:13:12.620><c> is,</c><00:13:12.960><c> like,</c><00:13:13.440><c> you</c><00:13:13.440><c> know,</c><00:13:13.600><c> somehow</c><00:13:13.899><c> doing</c>

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:15.120
something<00:13:14.620><c> to</c><00:13:14.879><c> them.</c>

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:17.100
And<00:13:15.259><c> it's</c><00:13:15.480><c> their</c><00:13:15.820><c> fault.</c><00:13:16.159><c> They're</c><00:13:16.440><c> responsible.</c>

00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:19.440
And<00:13:17.600><c> all</c><00:13:17.740><c> the</c><00:13:17.980><c> pressure</c><00:13:18.240><c> would</c><00:13:18.419><c> have</c><00:13:18.539><c> been</c><00:13:18.639><c> there</c><00:13:18.840><c> on</c><00:13:19.179><c> Sarah,</c>

00:13:19.580 --> 00:13:22.340
because<00:13:19.720><c> now</c><00:13:20.039><c> everybody</c><00:13:20.419><c> knew</c><00:13:20.899><c> that</c><00:13:21.279><c> Sarah</c><00:13:21.639><c> was</c><00:13:21.860><c> the</c><00:13:22.080><c> one,</c>

not<00:13:22.600><c> Abraham.</c>

00:13:23.539 --> 00:13:25.700
Now,<00:13:24.179><c> there</c><00:13:24.320><c> again,</c><00:13:24.600><c> though,</c><00:13:24.679><c> I</c><00:13:24.899><c> don't</c><00:13:25.019><c> really</c><00:13:25.259><c> think</c><00:13:25.419><c> that's</c>

00:13:25.700 --> 00:13:26.220
the<00:13:25.860><c> case.</c>

00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:29.320
I<00:13:26.539><c> really</c><00:13:26.860><c> think</c><00:13:27.039><c> that</c><00:13:27.200><c> what</c><00:13:27.419><c> God</c><00:13:27.700><c> did,</c><00:13:28.000><c> God</c><00:13:28.419><c> set</c><00:13:28.759><c> this</c><00:13:29.000><c> up.</c>

00:13:29.539 --> 00:13:32.639

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.299
they<00:13:32.840><c> would</c><00:13:33.000><c> just</c><00:13:33.399><c> believe</c><00:13:33.820><c> and</c><00:13:33.960><c> go</c><00:13:34.200><c> along</c><00:13:34.600><c> and</c><00:13:34.820><c> trust</c><00:13:35.100><c> him</c>

00:13:35.299 --> 00:13:37.600
that<00:13:35.419><c> it</c><00:13:35.559><c> was</c><00:13:35.740><c> all</c><00:13:35.980><c> going</c><00:13:36.080><c> to</c><00:13:36.240><c> work</c><00:13:36.419><c> out</c><00:13:36.679><c> right</c><00:13:36.980><c> in</c><00:13:37.299><c> the</c><00:13:37.419><c> end.</c>

00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.860
But<00:13:38.220><c> it</c><00:13:38.620><c> had</c><00:13:38.799><c> to</c><00:13:38.940><c> be</c><00:13:39.120><c> done</c><00:13:39.279><c> this</c><00:13:39.559><c> way</c><00:13:39.879><c> so</c><00:13:40.120><c> that</c><00:13:40.299><c> the</c><00:13:40.600><c> bigger</c><00:13:40.879><c> issues</c><00:13:41.460><c> could</c><00:13:41.659><c> be</c>

very<00:13:42.240><c> clear.</c>

00:13:43.419 --> 00:13:46.500
So<00:13:43.639><c> what</c><00:13:43.879><c> you</c><00:13:44.059><c> end</c><00:13:44.220><c> up</c><00:13:44.419><c> with,</c><00:13:44.639><c> then,</c><00:13:44.720><c> is</c><00:13:44.919><c> Hagar</c><00:13:45.139><c> ends</c><00:13:45.360><c> up</c><00:13:45.639><c> despising</c><00:13:46.100><c> Sarai</c>

00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:51.559
And<00:13:48.559><c> you</c><00:13:48.700><c> can</c><00:13:48.879><c> imagine</c><00:13:49.299><c> what</c><00:13:49.480><c> would</c><00:13:49.659><c> happen</c><00:13:49.879><c> as</c><00:13:50.080><c> the</c><00:13:50.360><c> eyes,</c><00:13:50.720><c> the</c><00:13:51.019><c> glance</c><00:13:51.320><c> of</c>

00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:01.259
And<00:13:59.519><c> you</c><00:13:59.620><c> know</c><00:13:59.740><c> how</c><00:13:59.940><c> the</c><00:14:00.080><c> girls,</c><00:14:00.580><c> they</c><00:14:00.580><c> play</c><00:14:00.720><c> these</c><00:14:00.980><c> games</c>

00:14:01.259 --> 00:14:01.820
really<00:14:01.600><c> well.</c>

00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.340
I<00:14:02.120><c> watched</c><00:14:02.460><c> this</c><00:14:02.759><c> in</c><00:14:03.039><c> school.</c>

00:14:03.340 --> 00:14:06.500
The<00:14:04.080><c> guys</c><00:14:04.419><c> are</c><00:14:04.700><c> sitting</c><00:14:04.840><c> there</c><00:14:05.139><c> oblivious</c><00:14:05.600><c> to</c><00:14:05.720><c> what's</c><00:14:06.039><c> going</c><00:14:06.299><c> on.</c>

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:07.840
We<00:14:06.659><c> don't</c><00:14:06.799><c> even</c><00:14:07.100><c> notice</c><00:14:07.419><c> it.</c>

00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.320
But<00:14:08.139><c> the</c><00:14:08.460><c> eye</c><00:14:08.740><c> contact</c><00:14:09.139><c> of</c><00:14:09.360><c> the</c><00:14:09.559><c> girls</c><00:14:09.840><c> is</c><00:14:10.220><c> walk</c><00:14:10.539><c> by,</c><00:14:11.120><c> and</c><00:14:11.120><c> she</c>

00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:12.379
looked<00:14:11.519><c> at</c><00:14:11.639><c> me</c><00:14:11.720><c> the</c><00:14:11.879><c> wrong</c><00:14:12.100><c> way.</c>

00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:14.580
And<00:14:12.519><c> it's</c><00:14:12.779><c> like,</c><00:14:12.960><c> oh,</c><00:14:13.320><c> didn't</c><00:14:13.500><c> even</c><00:14:13.700><c> notice.</c>

00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.639
But<00:14:15.360><c> that's</c><00:14:15.799><c> the</c><00:14:15.960><c> games,</c><00:14:16.259><c> you</c><00:14:16.460><c> see,</c><00:14:16.580><c> that</c><00:14:16.720><c> go</c><00:14:16.860><c> on</c><00:14:17.080><c> in</c><00:14:17.279><c> real</c><00:14:17.419><c> life.</c>

00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:20.259
And<00:14:17.860><c> you</c><00:14:17.980><c> can</c><00:14:18.159><c> imagine,</c><00:14:18.620><c> if</c><00:14:18.799><c> you</c><00:14:19.000><c> were</c><00:14:19.220><c> Sarah</c><00:14:19.600><c> living</c><00:14:19.919><c> through</c>

00:14:20.259 --> 00:14:22.580
this,<00:14:20.879><c> you</c><00:14:21.200><c> could</c><00:14:21.379><c> imagine</c><00:14:21.860><c> how</c><00:14:22.059><c> they</c><00:14:22.299><c> felt.</c>

00:14:22.940 --> 00:14:25.000
And<00:14:23.100><c> you</c><00:14:23.299><c> see</c><00:14:23.419><c> what</c><00:14:23.679><c> Hannah</c><00:14:23.960><c> and</c><00:14:24.200><c> Panenna</c><00:14:24.480><c> went</c><00:14:24.700><c> through.</c>

00:14:25.220 --> 00:14:27.379
That's<00:14:25.580><c> how</c><00:14:25.860><c> you</c><00:14:26.100><c> perceive</c><00:14:26.500><c> yourself.</c>

00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:31.019
So<00:14:27.639><c> it's</c><00:14:28.500><c> just</c><00:14:28.919><c> one</c><00:14:29.080><c> of</c><00:14:29.200><c> those</c><00:14:29.460><c> things</c><00:14:29.679><c> that</c><00:14:29.820><c> you</c><00:14:29.919><c> get</c><00:14:30.080><c> into</c><00:14:30.320><c> the</c><00:14:30.600><c> feelings</c><00:14:30.820><c> of</c>

00:14:31.019 --> 00:14:31.519
these<00:14:31.240><c> people.</c>

00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:33.899
That<00:14:31.720><c> would</c><00:14:31.860><c> have</c><00:14:32.019><c> been</c><00:14:32.120><c> pretty</c><00:14:32.480><c> tough</c><00:14:32.740><c> for</c><00:14:33.000><c> Sarah</c><00:14:33.220><c> to</c><00:14:33.399><c> live</c><00:14:33.720><c> through.</c>

00:14:34.179 --> 00:14:36.440
And<00:14:34.340><c> it</c><00:14:34.460><c> really</c><00:14:34.700><c> had</c><00:14:34.840><c> been</c><00:14:35.000><c> a</c><00:14:35.240><c> result</c><00:14:35.500><c> of</c><00:14:35.659><c> what</c><00:14:35.840><c> she</c><00:14:36.039><c> had</c><00:14:36.220><c> done.</c>

00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:42.320
But<00:14:37.000><c> she</c><00:14:37.200><c> had</c><00:14:37.460><c> hoped</c><00:14:37.659><c> that</c><00:14:37.879><c> maybe</c><00:14:38.080><c> it</c><00:14:38.179><c> would</c><00:14:38.360><c> play</c><00:14:38.620><c> out</c><00:14:38.840><c> differently</c><00:14:39.299><c> without</c><00:14:40.139><c> all</c><00:14:40.419><c> this</c><00:14:40.720><c> envy</c><00:14:40.960><c> and</c><00:14:41.159><c> this</c><00:14:41.379><c> bitterness</c><00:14:41.720><c> it</c><00:14:42.080><c> developed.</c>

00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:43.379
But<00:14:42.539><c> instead</c><00:14:42.919><c> it</c><00:14:43.179><c> did.</c>

00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.740
So<00:14:44.000><c> what</c><00:14:44.200><c> you</c><00:14:44.399><c> now</c><00:14:44.679><c> have</c><00:14:44.840><c> is</c><00:14:45.039><c> a</c><00:14:45.200><c> perfect</c><00:14:45.500><c> scenario</c><00:14:46.080><c> of</c><00:14:46.539><c> two</c><00:14:46.759><c> women</c><00:14:47.080><c> where</c><00:14:47.299><c> you've</c><00:14:47.620><c> got</c>

realizes<00:14:52.659><c> it.</c>

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.720
And<00:14:53.240><c> man,</c><00:14:53.399><c> what</c><00:14:53.580><c> a</c><00:14:53.860><c> scenario</c><00:14:54.240><c> for</c><00:14:54.539><c> a</c><00:14:54.700><c> collegial</c><00:14:55.019><c> conflict</c><00:14:55.399><c> or</c>

family<00:14:56.080><c> trouble.</c>

00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.919
And<00:14:57.179><c> you</c><00:14:57.279><c> can</c><00:14:57.500><c> see</c><00:14:57.679><c> why,</c><00:14:57.940><c> brethren,</c><00:14:58.440><c> that</c><00:14:58.759><c> the</c><00:14:58.879><c> Bible</c><00:14:59.100><c> encourages</c><00:14:59.580><c> us</c><00:14:59.779><c> to</c>

00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.559
because<00:15:01.720><c> imagine</c><00:15:02.519><c> trying</c><00:15:02.820><c> to</c><00:15:03.120><c> handle</c><00:15:03.299><c> this.</c>

00:15:03.899 --> 00:15:05.659
And<00:15:03.899><c> we</c><00:15:04.580><c> laugh</c><00:15:04.899><c> at</c><00:15:05.059><c> that</c><00:15:05.240><c> in</c><00:15:05.360><c> a</c><00:15:05.519><c> sense.</c>

00:15:06.019 --> 00:15:08.440
But<00:15:06.080><c> later</c><00:15:06.320><c> on,</c><00:15:06.679><c> you</c><00:15:06.679><c> look</c><00:15:06.860><c> at</c><00:15:07.000><c> how</c><00:15:07.360><c> this</c><00:15:07.659><c> played</c><00:15:07.799><c> out</c><00:15:07.980><c> with</c><00:15:08.240><c> Jacob.</c>

00:15:08.620 --> 00:15:11.700
I<00:15:08.779><c> mean,</c><00:15:08.919><c> the</c><00:15:09.080><c> same</c><00:15:09.480><c> problem</c><00:15:09.940><c> plays</c><00:15:10.200><c> out</c><00:15:10.480><c> again</c><00:15:10.720><c> later</c><00:15:11.080><c> on</c><00:15:11.259><c> with</c><00:15:11.460><c> the</c>

00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:17.019
So<00:15:13.820><c> certainly</c><00:15:14.379><c> it's</c><00:15:15.059><c> a</c><00:15:15.220><c> better</c><00:15:15.419><c> scenario</c><00:15:15.899><c> to</c><00:15:16.179><c> go</c><00:15:16.379><c> in</c><00:15:16.519><c> terms</c><00:15:16.740><c> of</c>

00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:24.640
because<00:17:22.819><c> the</c><00:17:23.119><c> Lord</c><00:17:23.359><c> had</c><00:17:23.779><c> closed</c><00:17:24.079><c> her</c><00:17:24.400><c> womb.</c>

peace<00:20:57.059><c> to</c><00:20:57.319><c> this</c><00:20:57.579><c> family</c><00:20:57.920><c> and</c><00:20:58.180><c> not</c><00:20:58.440><c> let</c><00:20:58.619><c> this</c><00:20:58.859><c> scenario</c><00:20:59.160><c> go</c><00:20:59.460><c> on.</c>

00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.259
Because<00:21:00.359><c> Sarah</c><00:21:00.579><c> realized</c><00:21:01.079><c> that</c><00:21:01.220><c> it</c><00:21:01.299><c> was</c><00:21:01.519><c> really</c><00:21:01.779><c> going</c><00:21:01.960><c> to</c>

00:21:02.259 --> 00:21:04.039
break<00:21:02.559><c> her</c><00:21:02.880><c> relationship</c><00:21:03.359><c> with</c><00:21:03.579><c> Abraham</c>

00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:06.640
and<00:21:04.519><c> that</c><00:21:04.700><c> this</c><00:21:04.900><c> was</c><00:21:05.039><c> going</c><00:21:05.180><c> to</c><00:21:05.359><c> cause</c><00:21:05.579><c> tremendous</c><00:21:06.119><c> grief</c><00:21:06.440><c> in</c>

00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:07.619
the<00:21:06.819><c> family.</c>

00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:10.839
So<00:21:08.119><c> Abraham,</c><00:21:08.900><c> if</c><00:21:09.259><c> you</c><00:21:09.460><c> had</c><00:21:09.619><c> been</c><00:21:09.740><c> Abraham,</c><00:21:10.299><c> wouldn't</c><00:21:10.500><c> you</c>

00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:12.059
feel<00:21:11.059><c> partially</c><00:21:11.460><c> responsible?</c>

00:21:12.539 --> 00:21:13.240
I<00:21:12.619><c> mean,</c><00:21:12.700><c> look</c><00:21:12.779><c> at</c><00:21:12.880><c> the</c><00:21:13.019><c> brethren.</c>

00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:15.779
What<00:21:13.700><c> would</c><00:21:13.859><c> you</c><00:21:14.099><c> do</c><00:21:14.319><c> to</c><00:21:14.579><c> solve</c><00:21:14.740><c> this</c><00:21:15.000><c> problem?</c>

00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:18.079
Now<00:21:16.480><c> you've</c><00:21:16.799><c> got</c><00:21:16.900><c> to</c><00:21:17.099><c> deal</c><00:21:17.259><c> with</c><00:21:17.420><c> what</c><00:21:17.579><c> you</c><00:21:17.819><c> have.</c>

00:21:18.140 --> 00:21:20.099
You<00:21:18.319><c> have</c><00:21:18.579><c> now</c><00:21:18.819><c> a</c><00:21:19.059><c> slave</c><00:21:19.220><c> woman</c><00:21:19.480><c> who's</c><00:21:19.819><c> pregnant.</c>

00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:21.059
She's<00:21:20.460><c> got</c><00:21:20.579><c> a</c><00:21:20.799><c> child.</c>

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:23.440
You've<00:21:21.359><c> got</c><00:21:21.460><c> your</c><00:21:21.680><c> wife</c><00:21:21.920><c> over</c><00:21:22.160><c> there</c><00:21:22.380><c> who</c><00:21:22.559><c> feels</c><00:21:22.839><c> despised.</c>

00:21:23.539 --> 00:21:25.859
And<00:21:23.660><c> she</c><00:21:23.779><c> is</c><00:21:24.279><c> despised</c><00:21:24.779><c> in</c><00:21:25.019><c> the</c><00:21:25.140><c> eyes</c><00:21:25.339><c> of</c><00:21:25.579><c> Hagar.</c>

00:21:26.099 --> 00:21:28.279
How<00:21:26.400><c> do</c><00:21:26.559><c> you</c><00:21:26.759><c> resolve</c><00:21:27.099><c> that</c><00:21:27.400><c> conflict?</c>

00:21:28.619 --> 00:21:31.400
That's<00:21:28.960><c> not</c><00:21:29.180><c> an</c><00:21:29.400><c> easy</c><00:21:29.680><c> conflict</c><00:21:30.180><c> in</c><00:21:30.359><c> a</c><00:21:30.539><c> family</c><00:21:30.779><c> to</c><00:21:31.039><c> resolve.</c>

00:21:31.579 --> 00:21:33.799
I'm<00:21:31.720><c> glad</c><00:21:31.900><c> I</c><00:21:32.099><c> wasn't</c><00:21:32.339><c> back</c><00:21:32.599><c> there</c><00:21:32.779><c> with</c><00:21:32.920><c> Abraham</c><00:21:33.299><c> trying</c><00:21:33.579><c> to</c>

00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:34.579
figure<00:21:33.920><c> this</c><00:21:34.180><c> out,</c>

00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:38.079
because<00:21:35.059><c> I</c><00:21:35.519><c> probably</c><00:21:35.920><c> wouldn't</c><00:21:36.119><c> have</c><00:21:36.299><c> done</c><00:21:36.440><c> it</c><00:21:36.599><c> the</c><00:21:36.720><c> way</c><00:21:36.839><c> Abraham</c><00:21:37.259><c> did.</c>

00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.880
But<00:21:38.259><c> really,</c><00:21:39.119><c> to</c><00:21:39.279><c> Abraham's</c><00:21:40.220><c> credit,</c><00:21:40.759><c> to</c><00:21:40.920><c> the</c><00:21:41.119><c> brethren</c><00:21:41.359><c> here,</c><00:21:41.720><c> to</c>

00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:43.099
Abraham's<00:21:42.720><c> credit,</c>

00:21:43.460 --> 00:21:47.140
there<00:21:43.640><c> was</c><00:21:43.900><c> a</c><00:21:44.119><c> part</c><00:21:44.299><c> of</c><00:21:44.700><c> Sarah's</c><00:21:45.099><c> life</c><00:21:45.539><c> that</c><00:21:45.779><c> he</c><00:21:46.079><c> realized</c><00:21:46.579><c> she</c>

00:21:47.140 --> 00:21:49.559
was<00:21:47.579><c> in</c><00:21:47.859><c> control</c><00:21:48.180><c> of</c><00:21:48.299><c> and</c><00:21:48.480><c> responsible</c><00:21:49.099><c> for.</c>

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.799
And<00:21:50.400><c> Hagar</c><00:21:50.799><c> was</c><00:21:51.319><c> her</c><00:21:51.799><c> handmaid.</c>

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.839
And<00:21:53.339><c> Abraham</c><00:21:53.759><c> doesn't</c><00:21:54.160><c> step</c><00:21:54.460><c> in</c><00:21:54.680><c> and</c><00:21:54.859><c> say,</c><00:21:55.200><c> well,</c><00:21:55.200><c> here's</c><00:21:55.480><c> what</c><00:21:55.619><c> I</c>

00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:56.839
want<00:21:55.980><c> you</c><00:21:56.160><c> to</c><00:21:56.299><c> do,</c><00:21:56.640><c> Sarah.</c>

00:21:57.019 --> 00:21:58.779
I<00:21:57.319><c> think</c><00:21:57.500><c> you</c><00:21:57.740><c> just</c><00:21:57.980><c> ought</c><00:21:58.099><c> to</c><00:21:58.279><c> swallow</c><00:21:58.579><c> it.</c>

00:21:58.819 --> 00:21:59.720
You<00:21:58.960><c> ought</c><00:21:59.099><c> to</c><00:21:59.200><c> live</c><00:21:59.400><c> with</c><00:21:59.619><c> it.</c>

00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:00.720
I<00:21:59.980><c> still</c><00:22:00.259><c> love</c><00:22:00.460><c> you.</c>

00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:02.259
And<00:22:01.059><c> you</c><00:22:01.220><c> ought</c><00:22:01.299><c> to</c><00:22:01.440><c> just</c><00:22:01.680><c> live</c><00:22:01.799><c> with</c><00:22:02.059><c> that.</c>

00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:04.480
And<00:22:02.960><c> we</c><00:22:03.039><c> have</c><00:22:03.240><c> brethren</c><00:22:03.480><c> that</c><00:22:03.640><c> would</c><00:22:03.759><c> do</c><00:22:03.940><c> that</c><00:22:04.180><c> today.</c>

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:05.660
That's<00:22:05.059><c> what</c><00:22:05.160><c> they</c><00:22:05.380><c> would</c><00:22:05.519><c> do.</c>

00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.000
They<00:22:05.819><c> would</c><00:22:05.980><c> just</c><00:22:06.160><c> say,</c><00:22:06.359><c> come</c><00:22:06.579><c> on,</c><00:22:06.819><c> now</c><00:22:06.940><c> you've</c><00:22:07.220><c> got</c><00:22:07.240><c> to</c><00:22:07.759><c> love</c>

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:08.539
your<00:22:08.240><c> neighbor.</c>

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:10.720
They'd<00:22:08.859><c> get</c><00:22:08.960><c> out</c><00:22:09.140><c> the</c><00:22:09.299><c> Bible,</c><00:22:09.859><c> lay</c><00:22:09.920><c> out</c><00:22:10.019><c> all</c><00:22:10.160><c> the</c><00:22:10.359><c> principles</c>

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:11.599
out<00:22:11.079><c> there</c><00:22:11.220><c> and</c><00:22:11.440><c> say,</c>

00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.019
you<00:22:12.140><c> just</c><00:22:12.700><c> have</c><00:22:12.980><c> to</c><00:22:13.220><c> live</c><00:22:13.359><c> with</c><00:22:13.559><c> it,</c><00:22:13.839><c> Sarah.</c>

00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:16.619
And<00:22:14.200><c> the</c><00:22:14.440><c> problem</c><00:22:14.720><c> is</c><00:22:14.940><c> really</c><00:22:15.160><c> how</c><00:22:15.359><c> you're</c><00:22:15.640><c> responding.</c>

00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:19.859
Can't<00:22:17.359><c> you</c><00:22:17.460><c> see</c><00:22:17.640><c> that</c><00:22:17.880><c> happening</c><00:22:18.220><c> in</c><00:22:18.539><c> that</c><00:22:18.740><c> family</c><00:22:19.059><c> life?</c>

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:22.299
I<00:22:20.140><c> think</c><00:22:20.299><c> a</c><00:22:20.380><c> lot</c><00:22:20.599><c> of</c><00:22:20.819><c> brethren</c><00:22:21.019><c> would</c><00:22:21.240><c> be</c><00:22:21.420><c> tempted</c><00:22:21.700><c> to</c><00:22:21.920><c> do</c><00:22:22.079><c> that.</c>

00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:25.339
We'd<00:22:22.640><c> get</c><00:22:22.740><c> our</c><00:22:22.940><c> Bibles</c><00:22:23.220><c> out,</c><00:22:23.579><c> and</c><00:22:23.660><c> we'd</c><00:22:23.960><c> justify</c><00:22:24.460><c> that</c><00:22:24.700><c> position</c><00:22:25.099><c> with</c>

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:25.880
our<00:22:25.519><c> Bibles.</c>

00:22:26.299 --> 00:22:27.880
That's<00:22:26.619><c> not</c><00:22:26.779><c> what</c><00:22:27.039><c> Abraham</c><00:22:27.279><c> did.</c>

00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:28.660
Oh,<00:22:28.400><c> no.</c>

00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.440
Abraham<00:22:29.240><c> realized,</c><00:22:29.720><c> look,</c><00:22:30.220><c> that's</c><00:22:30.880><c> your</c><00:22:31.200><c> part.</c>

00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:33.119
You<00:22:31.960><c> need</c><00:22:32.220><c> to</c><00:22:32.500><c> resolve</c><00:22:32.880><c> this.</c>

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.259
You<00:22:33.359><c> need</c><00:22:33.599><c> some</c><00:22:33.940><c> space</c><00:22:34.299><c> to</c><00:22:34.559><c> work</c><00:22:34.700><c> this</c><00:22:34.960><c> out.</c>

00:22:35.579 --> 00:22:40.559
And<00:22:35.859><c> Abraham</c><00:22:36.299><c> said,</c><00:22:36.700><c> look,</c><00:22:37.279><c> you</c><00:22:37.759><c> handle</c><00:22:38.039><c> it</c><00:22:38.319><c> the</c><00:22:38.539><c> way</c><00:22:38.819><c> you</c><00:22:39.180><c> think</c><00:22:39.339><c> is</c><00:22:39.740><c> right.</c>

00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:43.140
That's<00:22:41.359><c> amazing</c><00:22:41.779><c> that</c><00:22:42.000><c> a</c><00:22:42.160><c> husband</c><00:22:42.400><c> could</c><00:22:42.599><c> do</c><00:22:42.819><c> that.</c>

00:22:43.140 --> 00:22:45.059
Then<00:22:43.619><c> it</c><00:22:43.779><c> doesn't</c><00:22:44.059><c> just</c><00:22:44.359><c> mean</c><00:22:44.519><c> that</c><00:22:44.680><c> he</c><00:22:44.779><c> just</c><00:22:44.960><c> says,</c>

00:22:45.339 --> 00:22:46.859
well,<00:22:45.420><c> don't</c><00:22:45.660><c> you</c><00:22:45.940><c> handle</c><00:22:46.200><c> it</c><00:22:46.319><c> any</c><00:22:46.440><c> way</c><00:22:46.539><c> you</c><00:22:46.740><c> want.</c>

00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:35.440
And<00:24:33.680><c> when</c><00:24:33.799><c> I</c><00:24:33.940><c> come</c><00:24:34.119><c> home,</c><00:24:34.420><c> all</c><00:24:34.539><c> I</c><00:24:34.680><c> do</c><00:24:34.819><c> is</c><00:24:35.019><c> support</c><00:24:35.240><c> that.</c>

00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:38.299
And<00:24:35.940><c> if</c><00:24:36.400><c> you</c><00:24:36.680><c> don't</c><00:24:36.859><c> agree</c><00:24:37.140><c> with</c><00:24:37.319><c> it,</c><00:24:37.480><c> you</c><00:24:37.660><c> talk</c><00:24:37.799><c> it</c><00:24:37.940><c> out</c><00:24:38.039><c> later</c>

00:24:38.299 --> 00:24:38.779
in<00:24:38.579><c> private,</c>

00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:41.400
but<00:24:39.039><c> you</c><00:24:39.279><c> certainly</c><00:24:39.559><c> don't</c><00:24:39.799><c> do</c><00:24:39.940><c> it</c><00:24:40.059><c> in</c><00:24:40.180><c> front</c><00:24:40.240><c> of</c><00:24:40.400><c> the</c><00:24:40.579><c> kids.</c>

00:24:41.420 --> 00:24:43.980
You<00:24:41.680><c> talk</c><00:24:41.880><c> it</c><00:24:42.039><c> out</c><00:24:42.160><c> and</c><00:24:42.240><c> try</c><00:24:42.380><c> to</c><00:24:42.660><c> get</c><00:24:42.980><c> an</c><00:24:43.200><c> understanding</c><00:24:43.660><c> as</c><00:24:43.859><c> to</c>

00:24:43.980 --> 00:24:44.519
how<00:24:44.059><c> that</c><00:24:44.299><c> works.</c>

00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.400
That's<00:24:45.359><c> the</c><00:24:45.599><c> kind</c><00:24:45.759><c> of</c><00:24:46.000><c> relationship</c><00:24:46.599><c> Abraham</c><00:24:47.259><c> and</c><00:24:47.700><c> Sarai</c><00:24:48.059><c> had.</c>

00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:49.559
It's<00:24:49.099><c> marvelous.</c>

00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:51.420
That's<00:24:50.140><c> what</c><00:24:50.339><c> works</c><00:24:50.740><c> in</c><00:24:50.920><c> a</c><00:24:51.039><c> marriage,</c>

00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:53.759

00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:55.480
and<00:24:53.980><c> that</c><00:24:54.180><c> kind</c><00:24:54.339><c> of</c><00:24:54.579><c> space</c><00:24:54.940><c> like</c><00:24:55.259><c> that</c>

00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:57.460
so<00:24:55.980><c> that</c><00:24:56.240><c> we</c><00:24:56.519><c> don't</c><00:24:56.700><c> have</c><00:24:56.880><c> to</c><00:24:57.039><c> feel,</c><00:24:57.220><c> brother,</c>

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:58.920
just<00:24:57.640><c> because</c><00:24:57.859><c> we're</c><00:24:58.099><c> the</c><00:24:58.160><c> head</c><00:24:58.259><c> of</c><00:24:58.440><c> the</c><00:24:58.559><c> household,</c>

00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:00.480
we<00:24:59.140><c> have</c><00:24:59.319><c> to</c><00:24:59.460><c> make</c><00:24:59.640><c> all</c><00:24:59.859><c> the</c><00:25:00.079><c> decisions,</c>

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:02.700
and<00:25:00.920><c> we</c><00:25:01.059><c> have</c><00:25:01.220><c> to</c><00:25:01.440><c> tell</c><00:25:01.599><c> everybody</c><00:25:02.019><c> what</c><00:25:02.200><c> to</c><00:25:02.380><c> do,</c>

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.000
and<00:25:02.880><c> it</c><00:25:02.960><c> has</c><00:25:03.140><c> to</c><00:25:03.279><c> be</c><00:25:03.400><c> done</c><00:25:03.700><c> my</c><00:25:04.140><c> way,</c><00:25:04.579><c> you</c><00:25:04.819><c> see.</c>

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:08.279
That<00:25:05.440><c> doesn't</c><00:25:05.839><c> make</c><00:25:06.200><c> for</c><00:25:06.440><c> a</c><00:25:06.680><c> good,</c><00:25:07.339><c> solid</c><00:25:07.819><c> marriage.</c>

00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.859
And<00:25:08.559><c> I</c><00:25:08.779><c> don't</c><00:25:09.000><c> see</c><00:25:09.259><c> Abraham</c><00:25:09.660><c> operating</c><00:25:10.119><c> that</c><00:25:10.420><c> way</c><00:25:10.740><c> at</c><00:25:10.940><c> all.</c>

00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:14.019
So,<00:25:12.859><c> Sarai's</c><00:25:13.079><c> decision.</c>

00:25:14.500 --> 00:25:17.180
Do<00:25:14.680><c> you</c><00:25:14.940><c> think</c><00:25:15.160><c> Abraham</c><00:25:15.700><c> expected</c><00:25:16.299><c> this?</c>

00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:19.619
I<00:25:17.599><c> guess</c><00:25:17.880><c> I</c><00:25:18.160><c> wouldn't</c><00:25:18.460><c> have</c><00:25:18.660><c> if</c><00:25:18.819><c> I</c><00:25:18.980><c> was</c><00:25:19.160><c> Abraham.</c>

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:24.680
I<00:25:20.099><c> mean,</c><00:25:20.259><c> remember,</c><00:25:20.740><c> this</c><00:25:20.960><c> is</c><00:25:21.240><c> now</c><00:25:21.640><c> his</c><00:25:22.180><c> child</c><00:25:22.940><c> that</c><00:25:23.740><c> Hagar's</c><00:25:24.400><c> got.</c>

00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:28.240
This<00:25:25.079><c> was</c><00:25:25.400><c> his</c><00:25:25.700><c> hope</c><00:25:25.920><c> to</c><00:25:26.119><c> have</c><00:25:26.299><c> a</c><00:25:26.640><c> child</c><00:25:27.000><c> in</c><00:25:27.180><c> his</c><00:25:27.460><c> family</c><00:25:27.900><c> line.</c>

00:25:28.579 --> 00:25:30.539
And<00:25:28.880><c> now,</c><00:25:29.519><c> what</c><00:25:29.680><c> does</c><00:25:29.960><c> Sarai</c><00:25:30.279><c> do?</c>

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:33.200
She<00:25:31.000><c> deals</c><00:25:31.440><c> harshly</c><00:25:32.039><c> with</c><00:25:32.240><c> her</c><00:25:32.480><c> in</c><00:25:32.640><c> her</c><00:25:32.880><c> presence.</c>

00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.599
So<00:25:33.680><c> she</c><00:25:33.940><c> probably</c><00:25:34.480><c> treated</c><00:25:34.900><c> her</c><00:25:35.240><c> really</c><00:25:35.619><c> hard</c><00:25:35.920><c> as</c><00:25:36.200><c> a</c><00:25:36.339><c> slave.</c>

00:25:36.660 --> 00:25:38.039
She<00:25:36.880><c> worked</c><00:25:37.240><c> her.</c>

00:25:38.220 --> 00:25:39.779
She<00:25:38.500><c> had</c><00:25:38.700><c> her</c><00:25:38.940><c> cleaning</c><00:25:39.180><c> the</c><00:25:39.480><c> kitchen.</c>

00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:42.480
She<00:25:40.140><c> had</c><00:25:40.299><c> her</c><00:25:40.539><c> out</c><00:25:40.700><c> there</c><00:25:41.000><c> picking</c><00:25:41.220><c> up</c><00:25:41.440><c> all</c><00:25:41.619><c> the</c><00:25:41.799><c> trash</c><00:25:42.099><c> in</c><00:25:42.279><c> the</c>

00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:43.220
field<00:25:42.720><c> out</c><00:25:43.019><c> there.</c>

00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:45.980
She<00:25:43.460><c> had</c><00:25:43.640><c> her</c><00:25:43.839><c> doing</c><00:25:44.059><c> all</c><00:25:44.619><c> the</c><00:25:44.819><c> jobs</c><00:25:45.099><c> here</c><00:25:45.319><c> at</c><00:25:45.500><c> kids'</c><00:25:45.940><c> camp,</c>

00:25:45.980 --> 00:25:49.319
and<00:25:46.200><c> she</c><00:25:46.420><c> worked</c><00:25:46.680><c> her</c><00:25:47.140><c> because</c><00:25:47.599><c> she</c><00:25:47.859><c> was</c><00:25:48.140><c> despised</c><00:25:48.660><c> in</c><00:25:48.819><c> her</c><00:25:49.019><c> eyes.</c>

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:51.000
And,<00:25:49.720><c> you</c><00:25:49.799><c> know,</c><00:25:49.839><c> we</c><00:25:50.019><c> can</c><00:25:50.160><c> look</c><00:25:50.359><c> at</c><00:25:50.500><c> that</c><00:25:50.680><c> and</c><00:25:50.880><c> say,</c>

00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:53.779
well,<00:25:51.240><c> maybe</c><00:25:51.519><c> that</c><00:25:51.720><c> wasn't</c><00:25:52.059><c> right</c><00:25:52.460><c> for</c><00:25:52.779><c> Sarai</c><00:25:53.000><c> to</c><00:25:53.180><c> do</c><00:25:53.400><c> that,</c>

00:25:54.019 --> 00:25:57.000
but<00:25:54.259><c> Sarai</c><00:25:54.660><c> also</c><00:25:54.980><c> realized</c><00:25:55.599><c> that</c><00:25:55.819><c> within</c><00:25:56.019><c> this</c><00:25:56.299><c> family</c><00:25:56.680><c> realm,</c>

00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:58.480
this<00:25:57.319><c> was</c><00:25:57.640><c> not</c><00:25:57.920><c> going</c><00:25:58.099><c> to</c><00:25:58.259><c> work.</c>

00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:01.380
If<00:25:58.859><c> Abraham</c><00:25:59.200><c> and</c><00:25:59.539><c> Sarai</c><00:26:00.140><c> were</c><00:26:00.319><c> going</c><00:26:00.460><c> to</c><00:26:00.559><c> be</c><00:26:00.680><c> the</c><00:26:00.940><c> line</c><00:26:01.160><c> for</c>

00:26:01.380 --> 00:26:02.220
the<00:26:01.640><c> promised</c><00:26:01.900><c> seed,</c>

00:26:02.220 --> 00:26:05.099
this<00:26:02.779><c> was</c><00:26:03.000><c> not</c><00:26:03.220><c> going</c><00:26:03.359><c> to</c><00:26:03.539><c> work</c><00:26:03.700><c> with</c><00:26:03.920><c> this</c><00:26:04.480><c> slave</c><00:26:04.819><c> woman</c>

00:26:05.099 --> 00:26:08.519
thinking<00:26:05.460><c> that</c><00:26:05.759><c> she</c><00:26:06.039><c> was</c><00:26:06.500><c> now</c><00:26:06.980><c> moved</c><00:26:07.440><c> up</c><00:26:07.660><c> into</c><00:26:07.839><c> the</c><00:26:08.019><c> position</c>

00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:10.400
of<00:26:09.119><c> where</c><00:26:09.339><c> Sarai</c><00:26:09.680><c> really</c><00:26:10.039><c> belonged.</c>

00:26:10.779 --> 00:26:13.480
And<00:26:10.980><c> so,</c><00:26:11.339><c> in</c><00:26:11.339><c> the</c><00:26:11.480><c> end,</c><00:26:12.000><c> Hagar</c><00:26:12.140><c> takes</c><00:26:12.500><c> off.</c>

00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.180
Now,<00:26:14.259><c> I</c><00:26:14.380><c> think</c><00:26:14.619><c> from</c><00:26:14.839><c> that,</c><00:26:15.059><c> you</c><00:26:15.140><c> know,</c><00:26:15.299><c> as</c><00:26:15.420><c> far</c><00:26:15.539><c> as</c><00:26:15.700><c> we</c><00:26:15.880><c> go,</c>

00:26:16.180 --> 00:26:18.460
I<00:26:16.559><c> think</c><00:26:16.859><c> that</c><00:26:17.059><c> we</c><00:26:17.099><c> can</c><00:26:17.299><c> learn</c><00:26:17.500><c> a</c><00:26:17.619><c> lesson</c><00:26:17.859><c> for</c><00:26:18.079><c> ourselves,</c>

00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:20.720
at<00:26:18.640><c> least</c><00:26:18.799><c> in</c><00:26:18.880><c> terms</c><00:26:19.180><c> of</c><00:26:19.359><c> family</c><00:26:19.660><c> life</c><00:26:19.859><c> and</c><00:26:20.019><c> ecclesial</c><00:26:20.380><c> life.</c>

00:26:21.140 --> 00:26:24.380

Maybe<00:28:10.279><c> you</c><00:28:10.400><c> don't</c><00:28:10.500><c> have</c><00:28:10.619><c> that</c><00:28:10.799><c> out</c><00:28:11.000><c> here,</c>

00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.660
but<00:28:11.759><c> it</c><00:28:12.960><c> can</c><00:28:13.259><c> happen</c><00:28:13.599><c> that</c><00:28:13.779><c> in</c><00:28:13.940><c> a</c><00:28:14.059><c> collegial</c><00:28:14.339><c> life</c>

00:28:14.660 --> 00:28:16.559
that<00:28:14.799><c> we</c><00:28:14.920><c> can</c><00:28:15.059><c> have</c><00:28:15.200><c> a</c><00:28:15.480><c> culture</c><00:28:15.779><c> that</c><00:28:16.119><c> develops,</c>

00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:18.619

00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:20.960
even<00:28:19.019><c> if</c><00:28:19.180><c> a</c><00:28:19.319><c> brother</c><00:28:19.579><c> or</c><00:28:19.640><c> sister</c><00:28:19.880><c> move</c><00:28:20.099><c> in</c><00:28:20.240><c> from</c><00:28:20.400><c> another</c><00:28:20.619><c> area</c>

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:23.180
and<00:28:21.059><c> they</c><00:28:21.240><c> don't</c><00:28:21.440><c> fit</c><00:28:21.640><c> the</c><00:28:21.940><c> culture</c><00:28:22.319><c> of</c><00:28:22.500><c> our</c><00:28:22.680><c> little</c><00:28:22.880><c> group,</c>

00:28:23.180 --> 00:28:26.220
then<00:28:23.579><c> it</c><00:28:23.700><c> gets</c><00:28:23.940><c> us</c><00:28:24.180><c> a</c><00:28:24.240><c> little</c><00:28:24.480><c> bit</c><00:28:24.700><c> edgy</c><00:28:25.000><c> and</c><00:28:25.140><c> we'll</c><00:28:25.380><c> feel</c><00:28:25.519><c> uncomfortable.</c>

00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:29.500
And<00:28:26.980><c> so</c><00:28:27.240><c> it's</c><00:28:27.680><c> hard</c><00:28:28.000><c> for</c><00:28:28.259><c> us</c><00:28:28.460><c> to</c><00:28:28.720><c> treat</c><00:28:28.900><c> that</c><00:28:29.180><c> person</c>

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:30.920
with<00:28:29.799><c> kindness</c><00:28:30.140><c> and</c><00:28:30.440><c> compassion</c>

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:32.779
and<00:28:31.400><c> make</c><00:28:31.539><c> them</c><00:28:31.700><c> feel</c><00:28:31.900><c> like</c><00:28:32.099><c> one</c><00:28:32.240><c> of</c><00:28:32.339><c> the</c><00:28:32.519><c> group,</c>

00:28:33.140 --> 00:28:34.480
even<00:28:33.359><c> though</c><00:28:33.500><c> they're</c><00:28:33.720><c> a</c><00:28:33.819><c> brother</c><00:28:34.000><c> or</c><00:28:34.140><c> sister,</c>

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:36.420
just<00:28:34.779><c> because</c><00:28:35.140><c> they</c><00:28:35.319><c> don't</c><00:28:35.599><c> have</c><00:28:35.779><c> the</c><00:28:36.099><c> culture</c>

00:28:36.420 --> 00:28:38.160
that<00:28:36.579><c> we're</c><00:28:36.819><c> used</c><00:28:37.000><c> to</c><00:28:37.180><c> in</c><00:28:37.359><c> our</c><00:28:37.500><c> little</c><00:28:37.680><c> community.</c>

00:28:38.619 --> 00:28:41.460
So<00:28:38.859><c> I</c><00:28:39.140><c> think</c><00:28:39.359><c> in</c><00:28:39.720><c> the</c><00:28:39.900><c> case</c><00:28:40.119><c> of</c><00:28:40.359><c> Sarah</c><00:28:40.539><c> treating</c><00:28:40.900><c> Hagar</c><00:28:41.220><c> like</c>

00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:41.880
she<00:28:41.700><c> did,</c>

00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:44.799
it's<00:28:42.059><c> just</c><00:28:42.299><c> a</c><00:28:42.519><c> reminder</c><00:28:42.880><c> that</c><00:28:43.180><c> we</c><00:28:43.359><c> can</c><00:28:43.599><c> very</c><00:28:44.000><c> easily</c><00:28:44.400><c> push</c>

00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:45.779
people<00:28:45.240><c> away,</c>

00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:48.579
treat<00:28:46.380><c> them</c><00:28:46.640><c> harshly,</c><00:28:47.200><c> and</c><00:28:47.359><c> the</c><00:28:47.480><c> next</c><00:28:47.700><c> thing</c><00:28:47.900><c> you</c><00:28:48.039><c> know,</c><00:28:48.359><c> off</c>

00:28:48.579 --> 00:28:49.079
they<00:28:48.799><c> go.</c>

00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:50.619
So<00:28:49.839><c> what</c><00:28:50.039><c> does</c><00:28:50.160><c> she</c><00:28:50.359><c> do?</c>

00:28:50.619 --> 00:28:56.180
She<00:28:51.039><c> takes</c><00:28:51.420><c> off,</c><00:28:51.900><c> it</c><00:28:52.099><c> says,</c><00:28:52.980><c> on</c><00:28:53.220><c> the</c><00:28:53.339><c> way</c><00:28:53.619><c> to</c><00:28:55.859><c> Shura.</c>

00:28:56.539 --> 00:28:58.980
You<00:28:56.660><c> did</c><00:28:56.859><c> get</c><00:28:57.059><c> that</c><00:28:57.220><c> in</c><00:28:57.339><c> the</c><00:28:57.460><c> hints</c><00:28:57.619><c> today,</c><00:28:58.039><c> didn't</c><00:28:58.220><c> you?</c>

00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:02.299
Just<00:28:59.759><c> make</c><00:29:00.160><c> sure</c><00:29:00.519><c> that</c><00:29:00.740><c> you</c><00:29:01.119><c> put</c><00:29:01.299><c> that</c><00:29:01.440><c> on</c><00:29:01.579><c> something</c><00:29:01.859><c> or</c><00:29:02.039><c> whatever.</c>

00:29:02.380 --> 00:29:04.900
I<00:29:02.519><c> forget</c><00:29:02.759><c> how</c><00:29:02.920><c> he</c><00:29:03.099><c> put</c><00:29:03.240><c> it,</c><00:29:03.380><c> but</c><00:29:03.660><c> that</c><00:29:03.920><c> was</c><00:29:04.099><c> a</c><00:29:04.180><c> very</c><00:29:04.460><c> nice</c><00:29:04.720><c> hint</c>

00:29:04.900 --> 00:29:05.359
back<00:29:05.180><c> there.</c>

00:29:05.420 --> 00:29:06.900
I<00:29:05.579><c> like</c><00:29:05.700><c> that</c><00:29:05.900><c> for</c><00:29:06.059><c> the</c><00:29:06.220><c> little</c><00:29:06.359><c> guys,</c><00:29:06.660><c> you</c><00:29:06.799><c> see.</c>

00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:09.180
So<00:29:07.579><c> she's</c><00:29:07.859><c> on</c><00:29:07.920><c> her</c><00:29:08.119><c> way</c><00:29:08.319><c> to</c><00:29:08.839><c> Shura,</c>

00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:10.920
and<00:29:09.319><c> it</c><00:29:09.380><c> looks</c><00:29:09.720><c> like</c><00:29:10.000><c> Hagar's</c><00:29:10.240><c> on</c><00:29:10.400><c> her</c><00:29:10.480><c> way</c><00:29:10.579><c> home.</c>

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:13.140
You<00:29:11.299><c> don't</c><00:29:11.519><c> blame</c><00:29:11.759><c> her.</c><00:29:11.940><c> That's</c><00:29:12.299><c> where</c><00:29:12.440><c> she</c><00:29:12.619><c> came</c><00:29:12.859><c> from.</c>

00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:15.099
It's<00:29:13.579><c> also</c><00:29:13.819><c> fun</c><00:29:14.000><c> to</c><00:29:14.180><c> look</c><00:29:14.339><c> at</c><00:29:14.480><c> in</c><00:29:14.579><c> the</c><00:29:14.740><c> concept</c>

00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:17.160
like<00:29:15.500><c> slavery</c><00:29:15.839><c> in</c><00:29:16.000><c> the</c><00:29:16.079><c> Old</c><00:29:16.259><c> Testament.</c>

00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:19.220

00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:21.059
than<00:29:19.559><c> slavery</c><00:29:19.880><c> in</c><00:29:20.259><c> the</c><00:29:20.359><c> United</c><00:29:20.720><c> States.</c>

00:29:21.099 --> 00:29:22.319
Can<00:29:21.200><c> you</c><00:29:21.279><c> go</c><00:29:21.440><c> back</c><00:29:21.619><c> and</c><00:29:21.759><c> look</c><00:29:21.920><c> at</c><00:29:22.059><c> it?</c>

00:29:22.420 --> 00:29:24.380
Even<00:29:22.740><c> though</c><00:29:23.079><c> Hagar</c><00:29:23.460><c> was</c><00:29:23.759><c> a</c><00:29:24.079><c> slave,</c>

00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:27.339
it<00:29:24.960><c> appears</c><00:29:25.339><c> as</c><00:29:25.539><c> though</c><00:29:25.779><c> slavery</c><00:29:26.220><c> in</c><00:29:26.559><c> Bible</c><00:29:26.839><c> times</c>

00:29:33.460 --> 00:29:34.920
You<00:29:33.619><c> don't</c><00:29:33.819><c> send</c><00:29:34.000><c> a</c><00:29:34.099><c> bunch</c><00:29:34.220><c> of</c><00:29:34.400><c> people</c><00:29:34.579><c> down</c><00:29:34.779><c> there</c>

00:29:36.140 --> 00:29:38.980
That<00:29:36.299><c> isn't</c><00:29:36.460><c> how</c><00:29:36.819><c> slavery</c><00:29:37.160><c> worked</c><00:29:37.500><c> in</c><00:29:37.720><c> God's</c><00:29:38.539><c> perspective.</c>

00:29:39.380 --> 00:29:41.240

00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:44.460

00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:46.839
and<00:29:44.839><c> if</c><00:29:44.960><c> you</c><00:29:45.099><c> didn't</c><00:29:45.279><c> treat</c><00:29:45.480><c> your</c><00:29:45.799><c> slave</c><00:29:45.940><c> nice</c><00:29:46.200><c> and</c><00:29:46.319><c> they</c><00:29:46.460><c> ran</c><00:29:46.619><c> away,</c>

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:49.160
you<00:29:47.059><c> lost</c><00:29:47.279><c> your</c><00:29:47.599><c> slave</c><00:29:47.799><c> and</c><00:29:48.000><c> all</c><00:29:48.140><c> the</c><00:29:48.220><c> money</c><00:29:48.420><c> you</c><00:29:48.640><c> paid</c><00:29:48.740><c> on</c><00:29:49.000><c> them.</c>

So<00:29:49.619><c> you</c><00:29:49.759><c> better</c><00:29:50.000><c> treat</c><00:29:50.279><c> your</c><00:29:50.599><c> slave</c><00:29:50.779><c> nice.</c>

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.539
You<00:29:51.279><c> see,</c><00:29:51.559><c> God</c><00:29:51.640><c> had</c><00:29:51.779><c> a</c><00:29:51.920><c> whole</c><00:29:52.119><c> different</c><00:29:52.380><c> way</c><00:29:52.579><c> of</c><00:29:52.799><c> handling</c><00:29:53.079><c> slavery.</c>

00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:55.259
So<00:29:54.000><c> if</c><00:29:54.140><c> she</c><00:29:54.319><c> ran</c><00:29:54.519><c> away</c><00:29:54.720><c> like</c><00:29:55.000><c> that,</c>

00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:57.380
Hagar<00:29:55.599><c> would</c><00:29:55.819><c> just</c><00:29:56.220><c> take</c><00:29:56.420><c> off</c><00:29:56.599><c> and</c><00:29:56.720><c> go</c><00:29:56.880><c> back</c><00:29:57.119><c> home,</c>

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:59.619
and<00:29:57.900><c> Sarah</c><00:29:58.140><c> probably</c><00:29:58.480><c> wouldn't</c><00:29:58.920><c> go</c><00:29:59.099><c> after</c><00:29:59.400><c> her,</c>

00:29:59.619 --> 00:30:01.059
and<00:29:59.799><c> nobody</c><00:29:59.980><c> else</c><00:30:00.200><c> would</c><00:30:00.319><c> go</c><00:30:00.500><c> after</c><00:30:00.700><c> her.</c>

00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:02.519
So<00:30:01.279><c> she</c><00:30:01.440><c> was</c><00:30:01.619><c> somewhere</c><00:30:01.960><c> down</c><00:30:02.259><c> in</c><00:30:02.420><c> there</c>

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:04.640
when<00:30:02.700><c> the</c><00:30:02.859><c> angel</c><00:30:03.019><c> met</c><00:30:03.519><c> up</c><00:30:03.680><c> with</c><00:30:03.819><c> her</c><00:30:03.980><c> at</c><00:30:04.099><c> this</c><00:30:04.319><c> point</c>

00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:05.920
as<00:30:05.259><c> she's</c><00:30:05.519><c> heading</c><00:30:05.660><c> home,</c>

00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:08.160
and<00:30:06.099><c> the</c><00:30:06.299><c> angel</c><00:30:06.480><c> finds</c><00:30:06.940><c> that</c><00:30:07.160><c> she</c><00:30:07.400><c> counsels</c><00:30:07.779><c> Hagar.</c>

00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.079
So<00:30:08.700><c> you</c><00:30:08.799><c> can</c><00:30:09.059><c> see</c><00:30:09.200><c> there</c><00:30:09.420><c> in</c><00:30:09.559><c> verse</c><00:30:09.839><c> 7</c>

00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:13.319
that<00:30:11.259><c> the</c><00:30:11.480><c> angel</c><00:30:11.759><c> of</c><00:30:11.940><c> the</c><00:30:12.099><c> Lord</c><00:30:12.339><c> found</c><00:30:12.720><c> her</c>

00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:15.500
by<00:30:13.579><c> the</c><00:30:13.859><c> spring</c><00:30:14.099><c> of</c><00:30:14.400><c> water</c><00:30:14.680><c> in</c><00:30:14.880><c> the</c><00:30:15.059><c> wilderness,</c>

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:17.660
by<00:30:15.900><c> the</c><00:30:16.180><c> spring</c><00:30:16.539><c> on</c><00:30:16.859><c> the</c><00:30:16.940><c> way</c><00:30:17.099><c> to</c><00:30:17.400><c> shore.</c>

00:30:17.819 --> 00:30:19.960
So<00:30:17.940><c> that's</c><00:30:18.180><c> where</c><00:30:18.339><c> she</c><00:30:18.539><c> finds</c><00:30:18.819><c> her</c><00:30:18.980><c> on</c><00:30:19.099><c> the</c><00:30:19.220><c> way.</c>

00:30:20.019 --> 00:30:21.880
Now,<00:30:20.660><c> we</c><00:30:20.839><c> might</c><00:30:21.059><c> look</c><00:30:21.259><c> at</c><00:30:21.400><c> this</c><00:30:21.579><c> and</c><00:30:21.700><c> say,</c>

00:30:22.019 --> 00:30:23.480
well,<00:30:22.140><c> why</c><00:30:22.359><c> didn't</c><00:30:22.579><c> the</c><00:30:22.680><c> angel</c><00:30:22.819><c> just</c><00:30:22.940><c> let</c><00:30:23.039><c> her</c><00:30:23.180><c> go?</c>

00:30:23.859 --> 00:30:26.460
Just<00:30:24.039><c> let</c><00:30:24.140><c> her</c><00:30:24.319><c> go.</c><00:30:24.500><c> She's</c><00:30:24.740><c> really</c><00:30:24.920><c> not</c><00:30:25.079><c> going</c><00:30:25.180><c> to</c><00:30:25.259><c> be</c><00:30:25.400><c> part</c><00:30:25.579><c> of</c><00:30:25.720><c> this.</c>

00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.180
Her<00:30:27.039><c> child</c><00:30:27.500><c> isn't</c><00:30:27.720><c> even</c><00:30:28.000><c> going</c><00:30:28.119><c> to</c><00:30:28.259><c> be</c><00:30:28.460><c> the</c><00:30:28.680><c> one</c><00:30:28.960><c> called</c><00:30:29.099><c> of</c><00:30:29.339><c> God.</c>

00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:32.839
But<00:30:30.420><c> you</c><00:30:30.680><c> see,</c><00:30:30.960><c> from</c><00:30:31.220><c> God's</c><00:30:31.819><c> perspective,</c>

00:30:33.019 --> 00:30:36.200
he<00:30:33.460><c> was</c><00:30:33.680><c> bringing</c><00:30:34.059><c> this</c><00:30:34.480><c> whole</c><00:30:35.039><c> scenario</c><00:30:35.579><c> together</c>

00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:39.440
so<00:30:36.660><c> that</c><00:30:36.859><c> this</c><00:30:37.099><c> would</c><00:30:37.319><c> become</c><00:30:37.599><c> very</c><00:30:38.180><c> clear</c><00:30:38.480><c> to</c><00:30:38.779><c> everybody</c><00:30:39.160><c> in</c>

00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:39.700
the<00:30:39.539><c> end</c>

00:30:39.700 --> 00:30:42.140
that<00:30:40.079><c> the</c><00:30:40.400><c> gifts</c><00:30:40.640><c> and</c><00:30:40.859><c> the</c><00:30:41.099><c> calling</c><00:30:41.339><c> are</c><00:30:41.599><c> of</c><00:30:41.839><c> God,</c>

00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:44.279
and<00:30:42.539><c> they're</c><00:30:42.740><c> irrevocable,</c><00:30:43.339><c> as</c><00:30:43.599><c> Paul</c><00:30:43.799><c> would</c><00:30:44.019><c> say,</c>

00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:46.480
that<00:30:44.420><c> it's</c><00:30:44.680><c> all</c><00:30:44.960><c> a</c><00:30:45.099><c> matter</c><00:30:45.279><c> of</c><00:30:45.539><c> who</c><00:30:45.619><c> God</c><00:30:45.920><c> calls.</c>

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:49.440
It's<00:30:47.200><c> this</c><00:30:47.420><c> issue</c><00:30:47.740><c> in</c><00:30:48.039><c> Romans</c><00:30:48.359><c> 9</c><00:30:48.759><c> that</c><00:30:48.900><c> he</c><00:30:49.200><c> says,</c>

00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:53.220
so<00:30:49.880><c> what</c><00:30:50.119><c> if</c><00:30:50.299><c> the</c><00:30:50.680><c> potter</c><00:30:50.940><c> takes</c><00:30:51.279><c> from</c><00:30:51.720><c> one</c><00:30:52.220><c> lump</c><00:30:52.440><c> of</c><00:30:52.819><c> clay,</c>

00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:57.240
and<00:30:53.700><c> the</c><00:30:53.940><c> potter</c><00:30:54.180><c> makes</c><00:30:54.500><c> one</c><00:30:54.980><c> vessel</c><00:30:55.380><c> from</c><00:30:55.880><c> one</c><00:30:56.400><c> lump</c><00:30:56.619><c> to</c><00:30:56.960><c> honor,</c>

00:30:57.579 --> 00:30:59.480
and<00:30:57.720><c> the</c><00:30:57.960><c> other</c><00:30:58.259><c> vessel</c><00:30:58.640><c> to</c><00:30:58.940><c> dishonor?</c>

00:30:59.660 --> 00:31:01.559
And<00:30:59.859><c> it</c><00:30:59.920><c> was</c><00:31:00.180><c> essential</c><00:31:00.700><c> that</c><00:31:00.920><c> she</c><00:31:01.099><c> come</c><00:31:01.299><c> back</c>

00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:03.480
at<00:31:01.740><c> this</c><00:31:01.940><c> point</c><00:31:02.119><c> in</c><00:31:02.339><c> time</c><00:31:02.539><c> and</c><00:31:02.779><c> have</c><00:31:02.940><c> the</c><00:31:03.200><c> child,</c>

00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:06.359
and<00:31:03.960><c> that</c><00:31:04.160><c> this</c><00:31:04.440><c> issue</c><00:31:04.660><c> be</c><00:31:04.839><c> very</c><00:31:05.279><c> clear</c><00:31:05.460><c> to</c><00:31:05.720><c> the</c><00:31:05.980><c> Jews</c>

00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:10.140
that<00:31:07.099><c> not</c><00:31:07.680><c> everybody</c><00:31:08.339><c> who</c><00:31:08.819><c> is</c><00:31:09.200><c> of</c><00:31:09.519><c> Abraham</c>

00:31:10.140 --> 00:31:13.079
is<00:31:10.619><c> really</c><00:31:11.500><c> a</c><00:31:11.920><c> child</c><00:31:12.380><c> of</c><00:31:12.720><c> Abraham.</c>

00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:16.119
And<00:31:13.559><c> that's</c><00:31:13.839><c> what</c><00:31:14.059><c> this</c><00:31:14.359><c> whole</c><00:31:14.940><c> thing</c><00:31:15.119><c> is</c><00:31:15.259><c> trying</c><00:31:15.460><c> to</c><00:31:15.640><c> lay</c><00:31:15.839><c> out,</c>

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:19.019
so<00:31:16.660><c> that</c><00:31:16.940><c> we</c><00:31:17.160><c> realize</c><00:31:17.400><c> it's</c><00:31:17.900><c> not</c><00:31:18.059><c> a</c><00:31:18.200><c> matter</c><00:31:18.359><c> of</c><00:31:18.660><c> family.</c>

00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:20.319
It's<00:31:19.380><c> not</c><00:31:19.500><c> where</c><00:31:19.619><c> we</c><00:31:19.839><c> come</c><00:31:20.079><c> from.</c>

00:31:20.539 --> 00:31:22.359
It's<00:31:20.799><c> not</c><00:31:21.000><c> a</c><00:31:21.140><c> matter</c><00:31:21.380><c> of</c><00:31:21.519><c> whether</c><00:31:21.640><c> we</c><00:31:21.880><c> could</c><00:31:22.140><c> trace</c>

00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:25.240
and<00:31:23.819><c> we've</c><00:31:23.960><c> been</c><00:31:24.059><c> in</c><00:31:24.240><c> the</c><00:31:24.359><c> Christadelfian</c><00:31:24.859><c> community</c>

00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:28.460
That<00:31:27.319><c> isn't</c><00:31:27.599><c> important</c><00:31:28.000><c> to</c><00:31:28.160><c> God.</c>

00:31:28.779 --> 00:31:32.000
What<00:31:29.039><c> matters</c><00:31:29.440><c> is</c><00:31:29.680><c> whether</c><00:31:29.900><c> we</c><00:31:30.240><c> are</c><00:31:30.559><c> children</c><00:31:31.140><c> of</c><00:31:31.599><c> Abraham,</c>

00:31:34.339 --> 00:31:37.319
That's<00:31:34.740><c> what</c><00:31:34.960><c> God</c><00:31:35.200><c> cares</c><00:31:35.559><c> about,</c><00:31:35.819><c> that</c><00:31:35.980><c> we</c><00:31:36.180><c> live</c><00:31:36.460><c> as</c><00:31:36.880><c> a</c><00:31:37.119><c> child</c>

that<00:31:42.359><c> you</c><00:31:42.460><c> come</c><00:31:42.640><c> back</c><00:31:42.880><c> through.</c>

00:31:43.660 --> 00:31:45.980
So<00:31:43.799><c> anyways,</c><00:31:44.220><c> when</c><00:31:44.460><c> you</c><00:31:44.599><c> look</c><00:31:44.759><c> at</c><00:31:44.880><c> how</c><00:31:45.039><c> the</c><00:31:45.299><c> angel</c><00:31:45.460><c> responds</c>

00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:46.160
to<00:31:46.079><c> her,</c>

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:49.539
it's<00:31:46.359><c> also</c><00:31:46.619><c> fun</c><00:31:46.799><c> to</c><00:31:47.039><c> see</c><00:31:47.180><c> there</c><00:31:47.400><c> that</c><00:31:47.579><c> the</c><00:31:47.839><c> angel</c><00:31:48.000><c> calls</c><00:31:48.319><c> her</c><00:31:48.599><c> Hagar,</c>

00:31:49.700 --> 00:31:50.480
Syriah's<00:31:50.180><c> maid.</c>

00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:53.160
It<00:31:50.980><c> doesn't</c><00:31:51.119><c> say,</c><00:31:51.519><c> Hagar,</c><00:31:52.220><c> wife</c><00:31:52.500><c> of</c><00:31:52.759><c> Abraham.</c>

00:31:53.299 --> 00:31:53.799
Oh,<00:31:53.599><c> no.</c>

00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:56.640
The<00:31:54.180><c> angel</c><00:31:54.460><c> recognizes,</c><00:31:55.299><c> look,</c><00:31:55.759><c> Sarah,</c><00:31:56.079><c> look,</c><00:31:56.400><c> Hagar,</c>

00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:58.819
you've<00:31:57.059><c> got</c><00:31:57.119><c> to</c><00:31:57.299><c> understand,</c><00:31:58.079><c> you're</c><00:31:58.279><c> not</c><00:31:58.460><c> up</c><00:31:58.680><c> there.</c>

00:31:58.880 --> 00:31:59.940
You're<00:31:59.160><c> still</c><00:31:59.400><c> down</c><00:31:59.720><c> here.</c>

00:32:00.059 --> 00:32:01.740
You're<00:32:00.400><c> Syriah's</c><00:32:01.400><c> maid.</c>

00:32:02.099 --> 00:32:04.960
And<00:32:02.339><c> the</c><00:32:02.559><c> angel</c><00:32:02.779><c> asks</c><00:32:03.119><c> her</c><00:32:03.240><c> to</c><00:32:03.339><c> go</c><00:32:03.539><c> back</c><00:32:03.740><c> and</c><00:32:04.000><c> submit.</c>

00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:07.640
And<00:32:05.420><c> the</c><00:32:06.319><c> angel</c><00:32:06.500><c> promises</c><00:32:07.000><c> that,</c><00:32:07.640><c> look,</c>

00:32:07.819 --> 00:32:10.200
because<00:32:08.299><c> your</c><00:32:08.680><c> child</c><00:32:09.000><c> is</c><00:32:09.279><c> Abraham's</c><00:32:09.859><c> child,</c>

00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:12.160
we<00:32:10.640><c> will</c><00:32:11.119><c> take</c><00:32:11.440><c> care</c><00:32:11.640><c> of</c><00:32:11.799><c> you.</c>

00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:14.500
God<00:32:12.680><c> is</c><00:32:12.900><c> going</c><00:32:13.039><c> to</c><00:32:13.200><c> bless</c><00:32:13.400><c> your</c><00:32:13.799><c> family</c><00:32:14.180><c> line.</c>

00:32:14.900 --> 00:32:16.779
And<00:32:15.059><c> yeah,</c><00:32:15.180><c> they</c><00:32:15.299><c> are</c><00:32:15.440><c> going</c><00:32:15.559><c> to</c><00:32:15.740><c> multiply</c><00:32:16.079><c> her</c><00:32:16.339><c> family</c><00:32:16.599><c> line.</c>

00:32:16.859 --> 00:32:18.940
Even<00:32:17.019><c> though</c><00:32:17.180><c> she's</c><00:32:17.440><c> not</c><00:32:17.680><c> part</c><00:32:17.859><c> of</c><00:32:18.079><c> the</c><00:32:18.240><c> promised</c><00:32:18.480><c> line,</c>

00:32:19.059 --> 00:32:22.039
your<00:32:19.240><c> family</c><00:32:19.599><c> line</c><00:32:19.799><c> will</c><00:32:20.039><c> still</c><00:32:20.220><c> be</c><00:32:20.500><c> blessed</c><00:32:20.700><c> and</c><00:32:20.960><c> multiplied.</c>

00:32:22.099 --> 00:32:23.700
And<00:32:22.180><c> the</c><00:32:22.460><c> angel</c><00:32:22.640><c> even</c><00:32:22.940><c> names</c><00:32:23.119><c> the</c><00:32:23.359><c> child.</c>

00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:26.680
So<00:32:24.279><c> I</c><00:32:24.299><c> thought</c><00:32:24.500><c> maybe</c><00:32:24.839><c> Greg</c><00:32:25.039><c> would</c><00:32:25.259><c> today</c><00:32:25.460><c> ask</c><00:32:25.680><c> a</c><00:32:25.900><c> trick</c><00:32:26.019><c> question,</c><00:32:26.420><c> you</c><00:32:26.500><c> know,</c>

00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:28.799
as<00:32:26.900><c> to</c><00:32:27.099><c> who</c><00:32:27.460><c> named</c><00:32:27.859><c> the</c><00:32:28.539><c> child.</c>

00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:30.299
Who<00:32:29.059><c> named</c><00:32:29.319><c> Ishmael,</c><00:32:29.920><c> you</c><00:32:30.099><c> see?</c>

00:32:30.779 --> 00:32:33.740
And<00:32:31.000><c> so</c><00:32:31.460><c> if</c><00:32:31.559><c> somebody</c><00:32:31.779><c> said</c><00:32:32.180><c> the</c><00:32:32.460><c> angel</c><00:32:32.960><c> named</c><00:32:33.240><c> Ishmael,</c>

00:32:33.740 --> 00:32:34.539
that<00:32:33.880><c> would</c><00:32:34.019><c> be</c><00:32:34.259><c> true.</c>

00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:36.960
But<00:32:34.819><c> who</c><00:32:35.079><c> else</c><00:32:35.400><c> named</c><00:32:35.599><c> him</c><00:32:35.859><c> Ishmael?</c>

00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:38.259
Abraham,<00:32:38.079><c> right?</c>

00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:39.599
So<00:32:38.519><c> really</c><00:32:38.740><c> in</c><00:32:39.019><c> both</c><00:32:39.259><c> cases.</c>

00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:42.220
Now,<00:32:40.119><c> isn't</c><00:32:40.319><c> that</c><00:32:40.619><c> interesting</c><00:32:41.039><c> that</c><00:32:41.220><c> as</c><00:32:41.400><c> far</c><00:32:41.599><c> as</c><00:32:41.740><c> we</c><00:32:41.920><c> know,</c>

00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:44.859
the<00:32:42.619><c> only</c><00:32:42.940><c> person</c><00:32:43.299><c> that</c><00:32:43.460><c> was</c><00:32:43.619><c> told</c><00:32:43.859><c> the</c><00:32:44.039><c> name</c><00:32:44.240><c> of</c><00:32:44.420><c> the</c><00:32:44.579><c> child</c>

00:32:44.859 --> 00:32:45.559
was<00:32:45.180><c> Hagar.</c>

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:48.660
Hagar<00:32:46.359><c> comes</c><00:32:46.740><c> back,</c><00:32:47.440><c> has</c><00:32:47.640><c> such</c><00:32:47.900><c> a</c><00:32:48.160><c> relationship,</c>

00:32:48.819 --> 00:32:51.099
where<00:32:49.000><c> Abraham</c><00:32:49.380><c> hears</c><00:32:49.640><c> the</c><00:32:49.920><c> story</c><00:32:50.160><c> at</c><00:32:50.380><c> the</c><00:32:50.420><c> end</c><00:32:50.500><c> of</c><00:32:50.579><c> what</c><00:32:50.839><c> happened,</c>

00:32:51.140 --> 00:32:52.660
and<00:32:51.259><c> the</c><00:32:51.400><c> angel</c><00:32:51.559><c> met</c><00:32:51.759><c> her,</c><00:32:51.960><c> believes</c><00:32:52.319><c> it,</c>

00:32:52.859 --> 00:32:55.259
and<00:32:53.039><c> the</c><00:32:53.180><c> angel</c><00:32:53.319><c> said</c><00:32:53.559><c> you're</c><00:32:53.740><c> supposed</c><00:32:54.079><c> to</c><00:32:54.259><c> call</c><00:32:54.380><c> the</c><00:32:54.559><c> child</c><00:32:54.839><c> Ishmael,</c>

00:32:55.259 --> 00:32:55.940
and<00:32:55.400><c> he</c><00:32:55.539><c> does.</c>

00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:57.539
That's<00:32:56.839><c> sort</c><00:32:56.960><c> of</c><00:32:57.160><c> interesting.</c>

00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.240
It<00:32:57.799><c> shows</c><00:32:57.940><c> you</c><00:32:58.160><c> the</c><00:32:58.319><c> kind</c><00:32:58.500><c> of</c><00:32:58.759><c> relationship</c><00:32:59.240><c> that</c><00:32:59.799><c> Abraham</c>

00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:01.099
would<00:33:00.420><c> have</c><00:33:00.559><c> had</c><00:33:00.640><c> with</c><00:33:00.859><c> Hagar.</c>

00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:02.339
He<00:33:01.480><c> didn't</c><00:33:01.619><c> just</c><00:33:01.839><c> write</c><00:33:02.000><c> her</c><00:33:02.180><c> off.</c>

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:05.259
He<00:33:02.519><c> believed</c><00:33:02.839><c> it</c><00:33:03.039><c> and</c><00:33:03.420><c> said,</c><00:33:03.839><c> wow,</c><00:33:04.180><c> that's</c><00:33:04.500><c> what</c><00:33:04.680><c> God</c><00:33:04.940><c> wants.</c>

00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:06.700
We'll<00:33:05.539><c> call</c><00:33:05.640><c> him</c><00:33:05.839><c> that.</c>

00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:08.559
And<00:33:07.200><c> so</c><00:33:07.420><c> Abraham</c><00:33:07.720><c> goes</c><00:33:07.940><c> along</c><00:33:08.180><c> with</c><00:33:08.339><c> it.</c>

00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:11.220
I<00:33:09.180><c> think</c><00:33:09.480><c> one</c><00:33:09.779><c> of</c><00:33:09.920><c> the</c><00:33:09.980><c> things</c><00:33:10.200><c> you</c><00:33:10.319><c> can</c><00:33:10.539><c> pick</c><00:33:10.779><c> up</c><00:33:10.900><c> from</c><00:33:11.039><c> this</c>

00:33:11.220 --> 00:33:12.220
whole<00:33:11.440><c> scenario,</c><00:33:12.180><c> though,</c>

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:13.839
that<00:33:12.380><c> is</c><00:33:12.640><c> tough</c><00:33:12.880><c> for</c><00:33:13.099><c> our</c><00:33:13.339><c> generation,</c>

00:33:13.900 --> 00:33:16.019
and<00:33:14.119><c> especially</c><00:33:14.460><c> for</c><00:33:14.819><c> our</c><00:33:15.380><c> teens</c><00:33:15.519><c> up</c><00:33:15.740><c> there,</c>

00:33:16.460 --> 00:33:19.660
is<00:33:16.619><c> that</c><00:33:17.119><c> submission</c><00:33:17.640><c> is</c><00:33:18.019><c> actually</c><00:33:18.380><c> a</c><00:33:18.680><c> good</c><00:33:18.940><c> thing</c><00:33:19.240><c> to</c><00:33:19.480><c> have</c>

00:33:19.660 --> 00:33:20.799
in<00:33:19.799><c> our</c><00:33:20.019><c> life.</c>

00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:23.819
We<00:33:21.420><c> grow</c><00:33:21.599><c> up</c><00:33:21.779><c> in</c><00:33:21.920><c> a</c><00:33:22.019><c> day</c><00:33:22.160><c> and</c><00:33:22.279><c> age,</c><00:33:22.519><c> and</c><00:33:22.700><c> especially</c><00:33:23.039><c> our</c><00:33:23.339><c> kids</c><00:33:23.539><c> do,</c>

00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:25.380
we're<00:33:24.079><c> constantly</c><00:33:24.599><c> at</c><00:33:25.119><c> school.</c>

00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:28.059
They're<00:33:25.980><c> exposed</c><00:33:26.279><c> to</c><00:33:26.460><c> this</c><00:33:26.619><c> idea</c><00:33:26.940><c> that</c><00:33:27.140><c> everybody</c><00:33:27.480><c> has</c><00:33:27.720><c> rights.</c>

00:33:28.460 --> 00:33:29.500
The<00:33:28.680><c> rights,</c><00:33:29.000><c> the</c><00:33:29.200><c> rights.</c>

00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.680
And<00:33:29.720><c> so</c><00:33:30.160><c> nobody</c><00:33:30.460><c> wants</c><00:33:30.759><c> to</c><00:33:30.980><c> submit</c><00:33:31.200><c> to</c><00:33:31.359><c> anything</c><00:33:31.619><c> anymore</c><00:33:32.099><c> because</c><00:33:32.420><c> we</c>

00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:33.779
got<00:33:32.839><c> rights.</c>

00:33:33.819 --> 00:33:35.380

So<00:35:19.980><c> he</c><00:35:20.239><c> picks</c><00:35:20.400><c> that</c><00:35:20.639><c> out</c><00:35:20.780><c> in</c><00:35:21.000><c> 1</c><00:35:21.159><c> Peter</c><00:35:21.380><c> 5</c><00:35:21.719><c> there,</c>

00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:24.219
the<00:35:22.039><c> younger</c><00:35:22.340><c> people,</c><00:35:22.719><c> submit</c><00:35:23.079><c> yourselves</c><00:35:23.599><c> to</c><00:35:23.760><c> your</c><00:35:23.960><c> elders.</c>

00:35:24.579 --> 00:35:26.579
There's<00:35:24.860><c> nothing</c><00:35:25.099><c> wrong</c><00:35:25.340><c> with</c><00:35:25.579><c> that</c><00:35:25.780><c> in</c><00:35:25.900><c> a</c><00:35:26.059><c> collegial</c><00:35:26.300><c> life,</c>

00:35:26.619 --> 00:35:29.460
because<00:35:26.940><c> that's</c><00:35:27.500><c> teaching</c><00:35:27.739><c> us</c><00:35:28.099><c> to</c><00:35:28.659><c> submit</c><00:35:28.920><c> to</c><00:35:29.139><c> God.</c>

00:35:29.780 --> 00:35:31.699
It<00:35:29.920><c> doesn't</c><00:35:30.079><c> mean</c><00:35:30.280><c> the</c><00:35:30.559><c> elders</c><00:35:30.800><c> are</c><00:35:31.019><c> always</c><00:35:31.320><c> right,</c>

00:35:31.699 --> 00:35:34.760
any<00:35:32.219><c> more</c><00:35:32.460><c> than</c><00:35:32.559><c> it</c><00:35:32.679><c> means</c><00:35:33.099><c> for</c><00:35:33.360><c> you</c><00:35:33.519><c> women</c><00:35:33.739><c> that</c><00:35:33.900><c> your</c><00:35:34.119><c> husband</c><00:35:34.500><c> is</c>

00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:35.440
always<00:35:35.099><c> right.</c>

00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:38.860
Or<00:35:35.960><c> when</c><00:35:36.159><c> a</c><00:35:36.320><c> husband</c><00:35:36.619><c> submit</c><00:35:36.880><c> to</c><00:35:37.139><c> a</c><00:35:37.320><c> wife,</c><00:35:37.599><c> that</c><00:35:37.820><c> she's</c><00:35:38.199><c> always</c><00:35:38.579><c> right.</c>

00:35:39.139 --> 00:35:41.619
Like<00:35:39.340><c> in</c><00:35:39.539><c> the</c><00:35:39.559><c> case</c><00:35:39.800><c> of</c><00:35:39.980><c> Abraham</c><00:35:40.440><c> with</c><00:35:40.679><c> Sarah</c><00:35:41.039><c> and</c><00:35:41.340><c> Hagar,</c>

00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:44.679
Abraham<00:35:42.440><c> accepted</c><00:35:43.000><c> how</c><00:35:43.840><c> Sarah</c><00:35:44.119><c> handled</c><00:35:44.500><c> it.</c>

00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:47.900
What<00:35:45.360><c> it</c><00:35:45.559><c> means,</c><00:35:45.840><c> it's</c><00:35:46.119><c> okay</c><00:35:46.559><c> to</c><00:35:47.000><c> submit</c><00:35:47.280><c> like</c><00:35:47.599><c> that,</c>

00:35:48.019 --> 00:35:52.159
because<00:35:48.340><c> everybody</c><00:35:48.940><c> has</c><00:35:49.260><c> to</c><00:35:49.460><c> learn</c><00:35:49.599><c> to</c><00:35:49.900><c> submit</c><00:35:50.340><c> under</c><00:35:50.800><c> the</c><00:35:51.019><c> hand</c><00:35:51.179><c> of</c><00:35:51.380><c> God.</c>

00:35:52.739 --> 00:35:56.039
So<00:35:53.179><c> when</c><00:35:53.679><c> you</c><00:35:53.900><c> look</c><00:35:54.059><c> at</c><00:35:54.219><c> this</c><00:35:54.380><c> whole</c><00:35:54.599><c> issue</c><00:35:54.900><c> of</c><00:35:55.099><c> why</c><00:35:55.400><c> God</c><00:35:55.699><c> cared</c>

00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:56.659
for<00:35:56.300><c> Hagar,</c>

00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:58.420
because<00:35:57.000><c> we</c><00:35:57.219><c> could</c><00:35:57.320><c> have</c><00:35:57.440><c> easily</c><00:35:57.739><c> written</c><00:35:57.960><c> them</c><00:35:58.159><c> off,</c>

00:35:58.420 --> 00:36:00.679
I<00:35:58.760><c> think</c><00:35:58.980><c> it's</c><00:35:59.340><c> good</c><00:35:59.539><c> to</c><00:35:59.780><c> note</c><00:35:59.940><c> there</c><00:36:00.119><c> in</c><00:36:00.280><c> our</c><00:36:00.440><c> Bibles</c>

00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:02.639
that<00:36:00.900><c> God</c><00:36:01.119><c> really</c><00:36:01.460><c> did</c><00:36:01.699><c> care</c><00:36:01.960><c> about</c><00:36:02.300><c> Hagar</c>

00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.139
and<00:36:03.199><c> cared</c><00:36:03.480><c> because</c><00:36:03.880><c> of</c><00:36:04.039><c> her</c><00:36:04.239><c> connection</c><00:36:04.539><c> to</c><00:36:04.760><c> Abraham.</c>

00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:07.760
This<00:36:05.639><c> is</c><00:36:05.780><c> going</c><00:36:05.860><c> to</c><00:36:05.940><c> be</c><00:36:06.099><c> part</c><00:36:06.280><c> of</c><00:36:06.440><c> this</c><00:36:06.579><c> whole</c><00:36:06.840><c> concept</c><00:36:07.239><c> of</c><00:36:07.480><c> election</c>

00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:10.079
of<00:36:07.920><c> how</c><00:36:08.099><c> God</c><00:36:08.380><c> really</c><00:36:08.840><c> appreciates</c><00:36:09.360><c> family</c><00:36:09.739><c> lines</c>

00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:11.860
and<00:36:10.539><c> why</c><00:36:10.739><c> we</c><00:36:11.000><c> pray</c><00:36:11.159><c> for</c><00:36:11.360><c> our</c><00:36:11.579><c> children.</c>

00:36:12.179 --> 00:36:14.719
You<00:36:12.300><c> can</c><00:36:12.460><c> imagine</c><00:36:12.760><c> how</c><00:36:13.260><c> Abraham</c><00:36:13.679><c> would</c><00:36:13.840><c> have</c><00:36:14.039><c> prayed</c><00:36:14.159><c> for</c><00:36:14.380><c> Hagar</c>

00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:17.039
when<00:36:14.880><c> she</c><00:36:15.079><c> was</c><00:36:15.320><c> pregnant</c><00:36:15.639><c> and</c><00:36:15.900><c> prayed</c><00:36:16.059><c> that</c><00:36:16.179><c> she</c><00:36:16.300><c> would</c><00:36:16.480><c> get</c><00:36:16.719><c> pregnant</c>

00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:18.340
and<00:36:17.280><c> prayed</c><00:36:17.519><c> for</c><00:36:17.699><c> her</c><00:36:17.940><c> child.</c>

00:36:18.659 --> 00:36:21.260
And<00:36:18.780><c> in</c><00:36:18.940><c> the</c><00:36:19.039><c> end,</c><00:36:19.400><c> oh,</c><00:36:19.519><c> that</c><00:36:19.699><c> Ishmael</c><00:36:20.099><c> might</c><00:36:20.320><c> live</c><00:36:20.500><c> in</c><00:36:20.639><c> your</c><00:36:20.940><c> sight.</c>

00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:23.420
He<00:36:21.880><c> cared</c><00:36:22.260><c> for</c><00:36:22.480><c> this</c><00:36:22.719><c> child</c><00:36:22.940><c> eventually.</c>

00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:26.420
I<00:36:23.900><c> think</c><00:36:24.079><c> it's</c><00:36:24.480><c> interesting</c><00:36:24.940><c> for</c><00:36:25.199><c> women</c><00:36:25.559><c> to</c><00:36:25.820><c> note</c><00:36:25.960><c> right</c><00:36:26.260><c> now</c>

00:36:26.420 --> 00:36:28.179
as<00:36:26.539><c> you're</c><00:36:26.639><c> going</c><00:36:26.820><c> through</c><00:36:27.039><c> this</c><00:36:27.280><c> little</c><00:36:27.460><c> part</c><00:36:27.579><c> of</c><00:36:27.719><c> the</c><00:36:27.920><c> story,</c>

00:36:28.500 --> 00:36:33.039
it's<00:36:28.780><c> very</c><00:36:29.179><c> difficult</c><00:36:29.780><c> for</c><00:36:30.079><c> guys</c><00:36:30.599><c> to</c><00:36:31.139><c> care</c><00:36:31.440><c> about</c><00:36:31.800><c> an</c><00:36:32.139><c> unborn</c><00:36:32.599><c> child</c>

00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:34.599
as<00:36:33.300><c> much</c><00:36:33.480><c> as</c><00:36:33.659><c> you</c><00:36:33.860><c> do.</c>

00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:36.159
And<00:36:34.840><c> you</c><00:36:34.920><c> can</c><00:36:35.179><c> see</c><00:36:35.360><c> this</c><00:36:35.539><c> with</c><00:36:35.739><c> Abraham.</c>

00:36:36.619 --> 00:36:39.179
See,<00:36:36.800><c> at</c><00:36:37.059><c> this</c><00:36:37.400><c> point</c><00:36:37.659><c> in</c><00:36:37.840><c> the</c><00:36:38.099><c> story,</c><00:36:38.380><c> he</c><00:36:38.619><c> says</c><00:36:38.820><c> to</c><00:36:39.079><c> Sarah,</c>

00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:40.980
you<00:36:39.440><c> handle</c><00:36:39.760><c> it</c><00:36:39.940><c> the</c><00:36:40.079><c> way</c><00:36:40.179><c> you</c><00:36:40.380><c> think</c><00:36:40.480><c> is</c><00:36:40.760><c> right.</c>

00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:44.599
Sarah<00:36:41.599><c> treats</c><00:36:43.119><c> Hagar</c><00:36:43.400><c> in</c><00:36:43.579><c> such</c><00:36:43.719><c> a</c><00:36:43.820><c> way</c><00:36:43.880><c> she</c><00:36:44.019><c> runs</c><00:36:44.260><c> away.</c>

00:36:44.980 --> 00:36:47.179
And<00:36:45.179><c> there's</c><00:36:45.480><c> nothing</c><00:36:45.900><c> said</c><00:36:46.260><c> about</c><00:36:46.579><c> at</c><00:36:46.780><c> this</c><00:36:47.019><c> point</c>

00:36:47.179 --> 00:36:50.920
how<00:36:47.400><c> Abraham</c><00:36:47.860><c> was</c><00:36:48.159><c> really</c><00:36:48.599><c> upset</c><00:36:49.139><c> about</c><00:36:49.699><c> Hagar</c><00:36:50.280><c> running</c><00:36:50.559><c> away</c>

00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:52.380
and<00:36:51.199><c> taking</c><00:36:51.500><c> off</c><00:36:51.739><c> with</c><00:36:51.900><c> his</c><00:36:52.079><c> child,</c>

00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:54.599
because<00:36:53.039><c> in</c><00:36:53.239><c> this</c><00:36:53.500><c> case,</c><00:36:53.719><c> I</c><00:36:53.760><c> don't</c><00:36:53.980><c> think</c><00:36:54.159><c> Abraham</c>

00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:57.079
really<00:36:54.840><c> had</c><00:36:55.000><c> a</c><00:36:55.159><c> good</c><00:36:55.420><c> connection</c><00:36:55.880><c> yet</c><00:36:56.099><c> to</c><00:36:56.360><c> Ishmael.</c>

00:36:57.179 --> 00:36:58.920
But<00:36:57.340><c> you</c><00:36:57.599><c> watch</c><00:36:57.880><c> later</c><00:36:58.219><c> on</c><00:36:58.400><c> in</c><00:36:58.559><c> the</c><00:36:58.739><c> story</c>

00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:01.519

00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:05.940
and<00:37:01.800><c> Abraham</c><00:37:02.260><c> had</c><00:37:02.519><c> invested</c><00:37:03.139><c> 14</c><00:37:04.199><c> years</c><00:37:04.780><c> in</c><00:37:05.019><c> that</c><00:37:05.280><c> boy's</c><00:37:05.719><c> life</c>

00:37:05.940 --> 00:37:08.340

00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:11.380
It's<00:37:09.099><c> a</c><00:37:09.239><c> whole</c><00:37:09.519><c> different</c><00:37:09.880><c> story</c><00:37:10.260><c> the</c><00:37:10.519><c> second</c><00:37:10.699><c> time</c><00:37:10.980><c> around</c>

00:37:11.380 --> 00:37:14.800
when<00:37:11.659><c> Hagar</c><00:37:12.019><c> is</c><00:37:12.380><c> sent</c><00:37:12.559><c> away</c><00:37:12.920><c> and</c><00:37:13.420><c> Abraham</c><00:37:13.860><c> has</c><00:37:14.119><c> to</c><00:37:14.380><c> accept</c><00:37:14.599><c> that.</c>

00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:15.539
That's<00:37:15.199><c> tough.</c>

00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:18.019
14<00:37:16.559><c> years</c><00:37:16.840><c> of</c><00:37:17.099><c> investment</c><00:37:17.460><c> in</c><00:37:17.639><c> a</c><00:37:17.820><c> child</c>

00:37:18.019 --> 00:37:19.960
and<00:37:18.179><c> you're</c><00:37:18.360><c> going</c><00:37:18.480><c> to</c><00:37:18.579><c> lose</c><00:37:18.800><c> that</c><00:37:19.059><c> child</c><00:37:19.320><c> at</c><00:37:19.519><c> that</c><00:37:19.760><c> point?</c>

00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:23.219
That's<00:37:20.920><c> much</c><00:37:21.219><c> tougher</c><00:37:21.599><c> than</c><00:37:21.860><c> losing</c><00:37:22.139><c> it</c><00:37:22.300><c> from</c><00:37:22.460><c> the</c><00:37:22.619><c> guy's</c><00:37:22.980><c> perspective.</c>

00:37:23.219 --> 00:37:25.239
Now,<00:37:23.420><c> maybe</c><00:37:23.659><c> for</c><00:37:23.860><c> the</c><00:37:24.039><c> women,</c><00:37:24.420><c> you</c><00:37:24.440><c> see,</c><00:37:24.619><c> you've</c><00:37:24.920><c> carried</c><00:37:25.059><c> it,</c>

00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:26.840
you<00:37:25.420><c> feel</c><00:37:25.699><c> it,</c><00:37:25.880><c> and</c><00:37:26.019><c> you</c><00:37:26.119><c> know</c><00:37:26.260><c> what's</c><00:37:26.460><c> in</c><00:37:26.639><c> there.</c>

00:37:27.019 --> 00:37:28.860
I<00:37:27.179><c> think</c><00:37:27.300><c> you</c><00:37:27.420><c> have</c><00:37:27.500><c> a</c><00:37:27.800><c> connection</c><00:37:28.079><c> a</c><00:37:28.280><c> lot</c><00:37:28.480><c> sooner.</c>

00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:31.460
At<00:37:29.199><c> least</c><00:37:29.360><c> I</c><00:37:29.480><c> saw</c><00:37:29.699><c> that</c><00:37:29.900><c> with</c><00:37:30.139><c> Sue,</c><00:37:30.460><c> that</c><00:37:30.559><c> that's</c><00:37:30.880><c> what</c><00:37:30.980><c> I</c><00:37:31.239><c> experienced.</c>

00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:33.820
I've<00:37:31.900><c> watched</c><00:37:32.119><c> a</c><00:37:32.219><c> lot</c><00:37:32.360><c> of</c><00:37:32.559><c> other</c><00:37:32.619><c> men</c><00:37:32.780><c> go</c><00:37:32.940><c> through</c><00:37:33.119><c> the</c><00:37:33.300><c> same</c><00:37:33.539><c> thing,</c>

00:37:34.179 --> 00:37:36.059
that<00:37:34.360><c> that</c><00:37:34.659><c> connection</c><00:37:34.960><c> is</c><00:37:35.179><c> there</c><00:37:35.300><c> right</c><00:37:35.480><c> from</c><00:37:35.639><c> the</c><00:37:35.800><c> beginning.</c>

00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:38.739
But<00:37:36.320><c> in</c><00:37:36.460><c> this</c><00:37:36.699><c> case,</c><00:37:37.320><c> Abraham,</c><00:37:37.900><c> I</c><00:37:38.019><c> don't</c><00:37:38.199><c> think</c><00:37:38.280><c> he</c><00:37:38.480><c> found</c><00:37:38.599><c> it</c>

00:37:38.739 --> 00:37:39.880
as<00:37:38.940><c> hard</c>

00:37:40.019 --> 00:37:42.159
to<00:37:40.380><c> send</c><00:37:40.619><c> her</c><00:37:40.820><c> away</c><00:37:40.980><c> at</c><00:37:41.179><c> that</c><00:37:41.380><c> point</c>

00:37:42.179 --> 00:37:44.179
or<00:37:42.360><c> to</c><00:37:42.480><c> have</c><00:37:42.559><c> her</c><00:37:42.780><c> run</c><00:37:42.900><c> away</c><00:37:43.099><c> at</c><00:37:43.260><c> that</c><00:37:43.400><c> point.</c>

00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:45.900
Now,<00:37:44.659><c> the</c><00:37:44.760><c> whole</c><00:37:45.039><c> point</c><00:37:45.219><c> of</c><00:37:45.380><c> this</c><00:37:45.639><c> story,</c>

00:37:46.059 --> 00:37:48.780
the<00:37:46.320><c> allegory</c><00:37:46.699><c> that</c><00:37:46.860><c> comes</c><00:37:47.059><c> up</c><00:37:47.260><c> in</c><00:37:47.460><c> Galatians</c><00:37:47.900><c> chapter</c><00:37:48.239><c> 4,</c>

00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:50.659
you<00:37:49.119><c> might</c><00:37:49.219><c> want</c><00:37:49.420><c> to</c><00:37:49.500><c> just</c><00:37:49.659><c> turn</c><00:37:49.880><c> over</c><00:37:50.059><c> there</c><00:37:50.199><c> for</c><00:37:50.460><c> a</c><00:37:50.460><c> second</c>

00:37:50.659 --> 00:37:52.380
so<00:37:50.840><c> you</c><00:37:50.880><c> can</c><00:37:51.099><c> see</c><00:37:51.199><c> what</c><00:37:51.420><c> Paul</c><00:37:51.639><c> does</c><00:37:51.900><c> with</c><00:37:52.119><c> this.</c>

00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:54.699
And<00:37:52.880><c> it</c><00:37:53.019><c> isn't</c><00:37:53.199><c> only</c><00:37:53.559><c> Galatians</c><00:37:54.039><c> chapter</c><00:37:54.360><c> 4,</c>

00:37:54.739 --> 00:37:56.239
it's<00:37:55.039><c> also</c><00:37:55.440><c> Romans</c><00:37:55.760><c> 9.</c>

00:37:56.420 --> 00:37:58.500
The<00:37:56.739><c> allegory</c><00:37:57.199><c> is</c><00:37:57.420><c> there</c><00:37:57.719><c> as</c><00:37:58.280><c> well.</c>

00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:01.059
Because<00:37:59.320><c> in</c><00:37:59.719><c> both</c><00:37:59.940><c> Romans</c><00:38:00.199><c> and</c><00:38:00.440><c> in</c><00:38:00.639><c> Galatians,</c>

00:38:01.099 --> 00:38:03.480
Paul<00:38:01.320><c> says</c><00:38:01.619><c> God</c><00:38:01.940><c> was</c><00:38:02.239><c> dealing</c><00:38:02.480><c> with</c><00:38:02.840><c> bigger</c><00:38:03.039><c> issues.</c>

00:38:03.940 --> 00:38:06.340
This<00:38:04.179><c> is</c><00:38:04.420><c> why</c><00:38:04.639><c> I</c><00:38:04.739><c> don't</c><00:38:05.000><c> think</c><00:38:05.119><c> this</c><00:38:05.380><c> whole</c><00:38:05.719><c> story</c><00:38:05.980><c> happened</c>

00:38:06.340 --> 00:38:08.199
as<00:38:06.579><c> a</c><00:38:06.719><c> result</c><00:38:06.940><c> of</c><00:38:07.239><c> Sarah's</c><00:38:07.500><c> lack</c><00:38:07.719><c> of</c><00:38:08.019><c> faith.</c>

00:38:08.340 --> 00:38:09.900
I<00:38:08.599><c> don't</c><00:38:08.780><c> really</c><00:38:09.039><c> think</c><00:38:09.159><c> that's</c><00:38:09.519><c> the</c><00:38:09.659><c> answer.</c>

00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:13.800
It<00:38:10.260><c> happened</c><00:38:10.539><c> because</c><00:38:11.400><c> God</c><00:38:12.039><c> wanted</c><00:38:12.460><c> it</c><00:38:12.760><c> to</c><00:38:13.000><c> happen</c><00:38:13.260><c> this</c><00:38:13.639><c> way.</c>

00:38:13.980 --> 00:38:16.159
He<00:38:14.280><c> wanted</c><00:38:14.639><c> to</c><00:38:15.079><c> drag</c><00:38:15.320><c> this</c><00:38:15.639><c> all</c><00:38:15.800><c> out</c>

00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:18.039
and<00:38:16.579><c> have</c><00:38:16.800><c> them</c><00:38:16.980><c> go</c><00:38:17.199><c> through</c><00:38:17.400><c> this</c><00:38:17.659><c> scenario</c>

00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:20.539
where<00:38:18.260><c> they</c><00:38:18.619><c> tried</c><00:38:18.940><c> to</c><00:38:19.239><c> work</c><00:38:19.400><c> it</c><00:38:19.619><c> out</c><00:38:19.820><c> themselves.</c>

00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.179
Because<00:38:21.260><c> given</c><00:38:21.500><c> enough</c><00:38:21.820><c> time,</c><00:38:22.400><c> humans</c><00:38:22.559><c> will</c><00:38:22.760><c> do</c><00:38:22.940><c> that.</c>

00:38:23.260 --> 00:38:26.460
We<00:38:23.460><c> will</c><00:38:23.820><c> scheme</c><00:38:24.179><c> and</c><00:38:24.440><c> we</c><00:38:24.559><c> will</c><00:38:24.780><c> work</c><00:38:25.019><c> it</c><00:38:25.260><c> out</c><00:38:25.460><c> ourselves.</c>

00:38:26.699 --> 00:38:27.699
That's<00:38:27.139><c> what</c><00:38:27.280><c> we</c><00:38:27.480><c> do.</c>

00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.340
It's<00:38:28.340><c> like</c><00:38:28.480><c> Saul</c><00:38:28.659><c> waiting</c><00:38:29.000><c> for</c><00:38:29.619><c> Samuel</c><00:38:29.880><c> to</c><00:38:30.099><c> show</c><00:38:30.219><c> up</c>

00:38:30.340 --> 00:38:31.179
and<00:38:30.420><c> do</c><00:38:30.539><c> the</c><00:38:30.739><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:32.239
He<00:38:31.440><c> didn't</c><00:38:31.539><c> come,</c><00:38:31.780><c> didn't</c><00:38:32.000><c> come.</c>

00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:33.719
So<00:38:32.440><c> he</c><00:38:32.659><c> took</c><00:38:32.880><c> care</c><00:38:33.099><c> of</c><00:38:33.239><c> it</c><00:38:33.380><c> himself.</c>

00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:36.619
And<00:38:34.360><c> that's</c><00:38:34.780><c> what</c><00:38:34.920><c> we</c><00:38:35.159><c> tend</c><00:38:35.300><c> to</c><00:38:35.480><c> do</c><00:38:35.579><c> as</c><00:38:35.780><c> people.</c>

00:38:36.820 --> 00:38:38.579
So<00:38:37.119><c> what</c><00:38:37.360><c> happens</c><00:38:37.780><c> in</c><00:38:37.980><c> the</c><00:38:38.219><c> allegory,</c>

00:38:38.659 --> 00:38:40.360
the<00:38:38.820><c> way</c><00:38:38.920><c> he</c><00:38:39.159><c> works</c><00:38:39.400><c> this</c><00:38:39.699><c> out,</c><00:38:40.000><c> he</c><00:38:40.099><c> says,</c>

00:38:40.539 --> 00:38:43.039
look,<00:38:41.059><c> in</c><00:38:41.280><c> Galatians</c><00:38:41.699><c> chapter</c><00:38:42.039><c> 4,</c><00:38:42.539><c> he</c><00:38:42.579><c> says</c><00:38:42.840><c> that,</c>

00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:45.119
look,<00:38:43.320><c> we</c><00:38:43.539><c> were</c><00:38:43.780><c> like</c><00:38:44.019><c> growing</c><00:38:44.139><c> up</c><00:38:44.380><c> under</c><00:38:44.519><c> the</c><00:38:44.780><c> law,</c>

00:38:45.179 --> 00:38:46.980
that<00:38:45.320><c> we</c><00:38:45.400><c> were</c><00:38:45.539><c> like</c><00:38:45.679><c> the</c><00:38:45.860><c> whole</c><00:38:46.219><c> Jewish</c><00:38:46.519><c> community</c>

00:38:46.980 --> 00:38:48.039
was<00:38:47.139><c> like</c><00:38:47.280><c> a</c><00:38:47.500><c> young</c><00:38:47.719><c> boy.</c>

00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:51.059
And<00:38:48.559><c> under</c><00:38:48.760><c> the</c><00:38:49.039><c> law,</c><00:38:49.599><c> when</c><00:38:49.800><c> you</c><00:38:49.980><c> grew</c><00:38:50.239><c> up</c><00:38:50.460><c> under</c><00:38:50.699><c> the</c><00:38:50.880><c> law</c>

00:38:51.059 --> 00:38:53.599
as<00:38:51.280><c> a</c><00:38:51.480><c> young</c><00:38:51.679><c> Jewish</c><00:38:52.019><c> boy,</c><00:38:52.739><c> you</c><00:38:52.880><c> were</c><00:38:53.119><c> no</c><00:38:53.340><c> different</c>

00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:55.000

00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:57.380
So<00:38:55.480><c> that</c><00:38:55.699><c> if</c><00:38:55.840><c> you</c><00:38:55.980><c> had</c><00:38:56.119><c> a</c><00:38:56.539><c> three</c><00:38:56.800><c>-year</c><00:38:56.960><c>-old</c><00:38:57.039><c> boy</c>

00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:36.699
Now<00:39:34.900><c> we</c><00:39:35.059><c> can</c><00:39:35.300><c> aim</c><00:39:35.559><c> at</c><00:39:35.840><c> Jesus</c><00:39:36.239><c> Christ</c>

00:40:51.980 --> 00:40:54.239
I'm<00:40:52.300><c> sorry,</c><00:40:52.659><c> in</c><00:40:52.780><c> this</c><00:40:52.980><c> Hagar</c><00:40:53.219><c> in</c><00:40:53.380><c> verse</c><00:40:53.579><c> 25</c><00:40:53.980><c> there,</c>

00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:58.059
and<00:40:56.760><c> corresponds</c><00:40:57.239><c> to</c><00:40:57.480><c> the</c><00:40:57.719><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:40:58.099 --> 00:41:00.579
which<00:40:58.360><c> now</c><00:40:58.679><c> is</c><00:40:59.019><c> and</c><00:40:59.099><c> is</c><00:40:59.280><c> in</c><00:40:59.519><c> bondage</c><00:40:59.860><c> with</c><00:41:00.019><c> her</c><00:41:00.199><c> children.</c>

00:41:00.940 --> 00:41:03.039
But<00:41:01.239><c> the</c><00:41:01.500><c> Jerusalem</c><00:41:01.860><c> above</c><00:41:02.260><c> is</c><00:41:02.659><c> free,</c>

00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:06.460
And<00:41:05.159><c> then</c><00:41:05.280><c> he</c><00:41:05.460><c> quotes</c><00:41:05.639><c> there</c><00:41:05.860><c> from</c><00:41:06.059><c> Isaiah,</c>

00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:11.179
There's<00:41:09.199><c> the</c><00:41:09.460><c> passage</c><00:41:09.880><c> that's</c><00:41:10.739><c> symbolic</c>

of<00:41:11.519><c> what</c><00:41:11.739><c> will</c><00:41:12.039><c> happen</c><00:41:12.320><c> with</c><00:41:12.500><c> the</c><00:41:12.820><c> whole</c><00:41:13.139><c> big</c><00:41:13.340><c> community.</c>

00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:16.780
So<00:41:14.739><c> when</c><00:41:15.079><c> God</c><00:41:15.380><c> let</c><00:41:15.579><c> this</c><00:41:15.900><c> play</c><00:41:16.119><c> out</c><00:41:16.300><c> back</c><00:41:16.539><c> here,</c>

00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:19.420
it<00:41:16.980><c> wasn't</c><00:41:17.239><c> just</c><00:41:17.519><c> because</c><00:41:17.800><c> of</c><00:41:18.000><c> somebody's</c><00:41:18.480><c> faith</c><00:41:18.639><c> or</c><00:41:18.800><c> lack</c><00:41:19.019><c> of</c><00:41:19.260><c> faith.</c>

00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:21.539
He<00:41:19.880><c> wanted</c><00:41:20.219><c> to</c><00:41:20.480><c> make</c><00:41:20.699><c> sure</c><00:41:20.900><c> from</c><00:41:21.099><c> the</c><00:41:21.340><c> beginning,</c>

00:41:21.780 --> 00:41:24.019
everybody<00:41:22.139><c> understood</c><00:41:22.840><c> in</c><00:41:23.119><c> Abraham's</c><00:41:23.739><c> family,</c>

00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:26.239
there's<00:41:24.599><c> two</c><00:41:24.820><c> kinds</c><00:41:25.099><c> of</c><00:41:25.360><c> children</c><00:41:25.579><c> you</c><00:41:25.739><c> can</c><00:41:26.000><c> have.</c>

00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:29.179
You<00:41:26.739><c> can</c><00:41:26.960><c> have</c><00:41:27.219><c> children</c><00:41:27.619><c> that</c><00:41:27.820><c> are</c><00:41:27.920><c> just</c><00:41:28.159><c> by</c><00:41:28.480><c> genealogy,</c>

00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:30.599
that<00:41:29.380><c> you</c><00:41:29.579><c> worked</c><00:41:29.739><c> it</c><00:41:29.920><c> out</c><00:41:30.039><c> your</c><00:41:30.280><c> way,</c>

00:41:30.659 --> 00:41:32.199
and<00:41:30.820><c> you</c><00:41:31.019><c> did</c><00:41:31.199><c> it</c><00:41:31.400><c> like</c><00:41:31.559><c> your</c><00:41:31.780><c> kind</c><00:41:31.900><c> of</c><00:41:32.039><c> way,</c>

00:41:32.380 --> 00:41:35.179
or<00:41:32.960><c> you</c><00:41:33.260><c> can</c><00:41:33.460><c> have</c><00:41:33.719><c> children</c><00:41:34.179><c> of</c><00:41:34.400><c> the</c><00:41:34.699><c> promise</c>

00:41:35.179 --> 00:41:37.920
that<00:41:35.760><c> are</c><00:41:35.960><c> elected</c><00:41:36.519><c> and</c><00:41:36.960><c> called</c><00:41:37.179><c> by</c><00:41:37.480><c> God.</c>

00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:41.099
And<00:41:38.599><c> those</c><00:41:39.000><c> are</c><00:41:39.280><c> the</c><00:41:39.460><c> ones</c><00:41:39.780><c> God</c><00:41:40.139><c> wants.</c>

00:41:41.500 --> 00:41:44.659
So<00:41:41.940><c> what</c><00:41:42.380><c> this</c><00:41:42.739><c> means</c><00:41:42.960><c> in</c><00:41:43.260><c> terms</c><00:41:43.559><c> of</c><00:41:43.780><c> for</c><00:41:43.920><c> us</c><00:41:44.119><c> brothers</c><00:41:44.360><c> and</c><00:41:44.519><c> sisters,</c>

00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:47.460
you<00:41:44.840><c> can</c><00:41:45.000><c> see</c><00:41:45.119><c> how</c><00:41:45.380><c> Paul</c><00:41:45.619><c> applied</c><00:41:45.980><c> this</c><00:41:46.239><c> to</c><00:41:46.659><c> the</c><00:41:46.860><c> Jewish</c><00:41:47.119><c> law</c>

00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:52.880
you're<00:41:51.679><c> stuck</c><00:41:51.920><c> over</c><00:41:52.179><c> there</c><00:41:52.340><c> with</c><00:41:52.559><c> Hagar.</c>

00:41:53.260 --> 00:41:54.059
That's<00:41:53.519><c> where</c><00:41:53.679><c> you</c><00:41:53.900><c> are.</c>

00:41:54.059 --> 00:41:56.480
You're<00:41:54.340><c> still</c><00:41:54.659><c> stuck</c><00:41:54.980><c> under</c><00:41:55.219><c> those</c><00:41:55.480><c> elementary</c><00:41:56.019><c> principles</c>

00:41:57.099 --> 00:41:59.019
You're<00:41:57.280><c> living</c><00:41:57.440><c> like</c><00:41:57.679><c> a</c><00:41:57.719><c> little</c><00:41:58.019><c> child</c><00:41:58.420><c> in</c><00:41:58.599><c> a</c><00:41:58.800><c> family.</c>

00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:00.380
You're<00:41:59.280><c> like</c><00:41:59.559><c> stuck</c><00:41:59.679><c> in</c><00:41:59.980><c> slavery,</c>

00:42:01.980 --> 00:42:03.000
But<00:42:02.179><c> for</c><00:42:02.579><c> freedom,</c>

00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:04.420
that's<00:42:03.059><c> why</c><00:42:03.059><c> Christ</c><00:42:03.400><c> will</c><00:42:03.639><c> set</c><00:42:03.840><c> you</c><00:42:03.960><c> free,</c>

that<00:44:21.360><c> he</c><00:44:21.559><c> picks</c><00:44:21.719><c> for</c><00:44:21.900><c> his</c><00:44:22.159><c> family,</c>

00:44:22.579 --> 00:44:23.280

00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:26.380
But<00:44:25.840><c> then</c><00:44:26.079><c> again,</c>

00:44:26.380 --> 00:44:28.599

00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:41.659
It's<00:44:40.179><c> not</c><00:44:40.360><c> like</c><00:44:40.579><c> if</c><00:44:40.900><c> we</c><00:44:41.119><c> blow</c><00:44:41.400><c> it,</c>

00:44:49.539 --> 00:44:50.820
He'll<00:44:49.860><c> fill</c><00:44:50.099><c> his</c><00:44:50.360><c> house.</c>

00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:52.920

00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:11.159

00:45:11.980 --> 00:45:13.780
I've<00:45:12.380><c> raised</c><00:45:12.519><c> my</c><00:45:12.860><c> kids</c><00:45:13.099><c> in</c><00:45:13.420><c> the</c><00:45:13.619><c> Bible.</c>

00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:15.280
We<00:45:13.980><c> did</c><00:45:14.099><c> the</c><00:45:14.280><c> readings</c><00:45:14.460><c> every</c><00:45:14.760><c> day</c><00:45:14.880><c> at</c><00:45:15.099><c> home.</c>

00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:16.519
I<00:45:15.480><c> brought</c><00:45:15.659><c> them</c><00:45:15.800><c> to</c><00:45:16.000><c> Sunday</c><00:45:16.179><c> school.</c>

00:46:42.980 --> 00:46:44.420
God<00:46:43.380><c> can't</c><00:46:43.780><c> afford</c><00:46:44.079><c> that.</c>

and<00:47:53.460><c> God</c><00:47:53.780><c> says</c><00:47:54.199><c> that</c><00:47:54.400><c> he'll</c><00:47:54.599><c> have</c><00:47:54.760><c> mercy</c><00:47:55.099><c> on</c><00:47:55.440><c> one,</c>

00:47:57.880 --> 00:48:00.219
And<00:47:57.980><c> that</c><00:47:58.179><c> is</c><00:47:59.199><c> why</c><00:47:59.440><c> we</c><00:47:59.780><c> pray</c>

00:48:00.219 --> 00:48:01.699
for<00:48:00.460><c> our</c><00:48:00.699><c> children,</c><00:48:01.079><c> brothers</c><00:48:01.239><c> and</c><00:48:01.420><c> sisters,</c>

00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:03.420
because<00:48:02.059><c> in</c><00:48:02.239><c> verse</c><00:48:02.400><c> 16,</c><00:48:02.980><c> you</c><00:48:03.199><c> see,</c>

00:48:03.820 --> 00:48:06.380
so<00:48:04.059><c> then</c><00:48:04.280><c> it</c><00:48:04.440><c> is</c><00:48:04.719><c> not</c><00:48:04.920><c> of</c><00:48:05.139><c> him</c><00:48:05.360><c> who</c><00:48:05.639><c> wills.</c>

00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:09.460
This<00:48:06.780><c> is</c><00:48:07.139><c> why</c><00:48:07.519><c> this</c><00:48:07.880><c> issue</c><00:48:08.239><c> had</c><00:48:08.460><c> to</c><00:48:08.760><c> be</c><00:48:08.920><c> laid</c><00:48:09.099><c> out</c>

00:48:12.340 --> 00:48:14.099
It's<00:48:12.760><c> not</c><00:48:13.059><c> of</c><00:48:13.239><c> him</c><00:48:13.400><c> who</c><00:48:13.639><c> wills,</c>

00:48:18.579 --> 00:48:20.719
It's<00:48:19.059><c> all</c><00:48:19.539><c> of</c><00:48:20.219><c> God.</c>

00:48:21.019 --> 00:48:23.179
Otherwise,<00:48:21.659><c> we</c><00:48:21.820><c> would</c><00:48:22.059><c> take</c><00:48:22.340><c> credit</c><00:48:22.619><c> for</c><00:48:22.900><c> it.</c>

00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:25.360
Sarah<00:48:23.659><c> and</c><00:48:23.900><c> Abraham</c><00:48:24.179><c> would</c><00:48:24.380><c> have</c><00:48:24.539><c> taken</c><00:48:24.739><c> credit</c><00:48:25.059><c> for</c><00:48:25.239><c> it</c>

00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:26.500
and<00:48:25.440><c> say,</c><00:48:25.599><c> see,</c><00:48:25.800><c> we</c><00:48:25.980><c> worked</c><00:48:26.159><c> it</c><00:48:26.360><c> out.</c>

00:48:26.539 --> 00:48:28.559
We<00:48:26.699><c> used</c><00:48:26.960><c> Pagar,</c><00:48:27.420><c> and</c><00:48:27.599><c> it</c><00:48:27.780><c> worked</c><00:48:27.920><c> out</c><00:48:28.139><c> our</c><00:48:28.360><c> way.</c>

Thank<00:48:33.760><c> God,</c><00:48:34.179><c> and</c><00:48:34.300><c> in</c><00:48:34.440><c> his</c><00:48:34.679><c> election,</c>

00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:49.599
