but<00:02:40.560><c> can</c><00:02:40.759><c> we</c><00:02:40.900><c> just</c><00:02:41.099><c> remind</c><00:02:41.439><c> ourselves</c><00:02:41.939><c> that</c><00:02:42.159><c> those</c><00:02:42.479><c> two</c><00:02:42.740><c> words</c>

00:02:47.139 --> 00:02:51.139
It's<00:02:47.500><c> when</c><00:02:47.800><c> we</c><00:02:48.080><c> appreciate</c><00:02:48.699><c> the</c><00:02:49.020><c> grace</c><00:02:49.259><c> of</c><00:02:49.479><c> God</c><00:02:49.879><c> that</c><00:02:50.620><c> we</c><00:02:50.800><c> are</c>

00:03:00.620 --> 00:03:05.219
I<00:03:00.620><c> am</c><00:03:00.800><c> the</c><00:03:01.099><c> high</c><00:03:01.639><c> and</c><00:03:02.159><c> the</c><00:03:02.360><c> lofty</c><00:03:02.780><c> one</c><00:03:03.219><c> that</c><00:03:03.580><c> inhabiteth</c><00:03:04.139><c> eternity.</c>

00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:09.400
He<00:03:06.120><c> is</c><00:03:06.319><c> as</c><00:03:06.620><c> far</c><00:03:06.939><c> that</c><00:03:07.319><c> way</c><00:03:07.599><c> as</c><00:03:07.780><c> we</c><00:03:07.879><c> can</c><00:03:08.120><c> ever</c><00:03:08.400><c> imagine.</c>

00:03:09.460 --> 00:03:11.460
And<00:03:09.639><c> when</c><00:03:09.759><c> we've</c><00:03:10.039><c> imagined</c><00:03:10.340><c> that,</c><00:03:10.580><c> he's</c><00:03:10.740><c> even</c><00:03:11.080><c> further,</c>

00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.479
But<00:03:16.620><c> he</c><00:03:16.819><c> says,</c><00:03:17.219><c> there</c><00:03:17.219><c> is</c><00:03:17.479><c> a</c><00:03:17.659><c> person</c><00:03:17.939><c> that</c><00:03:18.120><c> I</c><00:03:18.259><c> can</c><00:03:18.500><c> contact.</c>

00:03:19.659 --> 00:03:22.699

00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.439

I<00:03:37.960><c> said</c><00:03:38.180><c> that</c><00:03:38.680><c> I</c><00:03:38.860><c> thought</c><00:03:39.099><c> that</c><00:03:39.319><c> the</c><00:03:39.460><c> word</c><00:03:39.639><c> grace,</c><00:03:40.699><c> for</c><00:03:40.919><c> me</c><00:03:41.219><c> personally,</c>

00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:46.099

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.360
I'm<00:03:50.840><c> thinking</c><00:03:51.020><c> about</c><00:03:51.300><c> Ephesians</c><00:03:51.759><c> at</c><00:03:51.939><c> the</c><00:03:52.080><c> moment,</c>

00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.439
So<00:03:58.060><c> allowing</c><00:03:58.360><c> those</c><00:03:58.780><c> a</c><00:03:59.020><c> few</c><00:03:59.240><c> extravagant</c><00:03:59.919><c> statements,</c>

00:04:00.699 --> 00:04:03.419
I<00:04:00.919><c> hope</c><00:04:01.080><c> you</c><00:04:01.300><c> appreciate</c><00:04:01.740><c> what</c><00:04:01.900><c> I'm</c><00:04:02.060><c> trying</c><00:04:02.300><c> to</c><00:04:02.560><c> say.</c>

00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.860
And<00:04:04.060><c> it's</c><00:04:04.259><c> only</c><00:04:04.580><c> when</c><00:04:04.879><c> we</c><00:04:05.180><c> all</c><00:04:05.460><c> appreciate</c><00:04:06.000><c> the</c><00:04:06.219><c> grace</c><00:04:06.379><c> of</c><00:04:06.620><c> God</c>

00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:13.280
We'll<00:04:10.659><c> change</c><00:04:10.900><c> it</c><00:04:11.080><c> a</c><00:04:11.080><c> little</c><00:04:11.259><c> later</c><00:04:11.520><c> in</c><00:04:11.680><c> case</c><00:04:11.900><c> anyone</c><00:04:12.099><c> was</c><00:04:12.259><c> offended</c><00:04:12.620><c> by</c><00:04:12.879><c> that.</c>

00:04:13.460 --> 00:04:18.060
But<00:04:13.939><c> you</c><00:04:14.460><c> two</c><00:04:14.759><c> groups</c><00:04:15.360><c> must</c><00:04:15.819><c> both</c><00:04:16.259><c> remember</c><00:04:16.899><c> that</c><00:04:17.620><c> you</c><00:04:17.819><c> have</c>

00:04:20.699 --> 00:04:24.240
So<00:04:20.920><c> what</c><00:04:21.180><c> makes</c><00:04:21.459><c> you</c><00:04:21.740><c> better</c><00:04:22.019><c> than</c><00:04:22.259><c> you</c><00:04:22.459><c> or</c><00:04:22.660><c> you</c><00:04:22.899><c> better</c><00:04:23.139><c> than</c><00:04:23.379><c> you?</c>

00:04:24.860 --> 00:04:25.720
Nothing.

00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.459
Well,<00:04:26.100><c> let's</c><00:04:26.420><c> get</c><00:04:26.699><c> together</c><00:04:27.019><c> and</c><00:04:27.240><c> talk</c><00:04:27.420><c> about</c><00:04:27.699><c> the</c><00:04:27.980><c> grace</c><00:04:28.199><c> of</c><00:04:28.459><c> God.</c>

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.600

We've<00:12:22.240><c> come</c><00:12:22.360><c> up</c><00:12:22.539><c> out</c><00:12:22.659><c> of</c><00:12:22.720><c> the</c><00:12:22.940><c> waters</c><00:12:23.159><c> of</c><00:12:23.419><c> baptism.</c>

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:30.200
We've<00:12:24.639><c> risen</c><00:12:24.820><c> to</c><00:12:25.080><c> a</c><00:12:25.259><c> newness</c><00:12:25.519><c> of</c><00:12:25.740><c> life</c><00:12:25.899><c> in</c><00:12:26.159><c> Christ</c><00:12:26.399><c> Jesus</c><00:12:27.340><c> together.</c>

00:12:31.820 --> 00:12:32.899
Together.

00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:38.179
Not<00:12:33.960><c> only</c><00:12:34.240><c> that,</c><00:12:34.519><c> but</c><00:12:34.740><c> he's</c><00:12:35.240><c> raised</c><00:12:35.639><c> us</c><00:12:36.220><c> up</c><00:12:37.100><c> together.</c>

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:39.519
And<00:12:38.519><c> we'll</c><00:12:38.779><c> change</c><00:12:38.919><c> sides</c><00:12:39.220><c> now.</c>

00:12:39.779 --> 00:12:46.559
You<00:12:40.000><c> Jews</c><00:12:40.480><c> and</c><00:12:41.000><c> you</c><00:12:41.240><c> Gentiles</c><00:12:42.440><c> have</c><00:12:42.980><c> been</c><00:12:43.340><c> raised</c><00:12:43.759><c> up</c><00:12:44.259><c> together</c><00:12:44.799><c> in</c><00:12:45.519><c> Christ.</c>

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.799
And<00:12:47.340><c> not</c><00:12:47.559><c> only</c><00:12:47.799><c> that,</c><00:12:48.320><c> he's</c><00:12:48.580><c> not</c><00:12:48.700><c> only</c><00:12:48.899><c> made</c><00:12:49.100><c> you</c><00:12:49.320><c> alive,</c>

00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:52.480
he's<00:12:50.539><c> not</c><00:12:50.700><c> only</c><00:12:51.019><c> caused</c><00:12:51.220><c> you</c><00:12:51.419><c> to</c><00:12:51.679><c> stand</c><00:12:51.940><c> up,</c>

00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:55.919
but<00:12:53.220><c> he</c><00:12:53.379><c> has</c><00:12:53.600><c> lifted</c><00:12:53.919><c> us</c><00:12:54.399><c> up</c><00:12:54.600><c> into</c><00:12:54.820><c> the</c><00:12:55.019><c> heavens.</c>

00:12:56.019 --> 00:12:58.779
Not<00:12:56.480><c> heavens</c><00:12:56.879><c> in</c><00:12:57.159><c> the</c><00:12:57.320><c> sense</c><00:12:57.519><c> of</c><00:12:57.700><c> a</c><00:12:57.940><c> place,</c>

00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.399
but<00:12:59.139><c> heavens</c><00:12:59.440><c> in</c><00:12:59.679><c> the</c><00:12:59.840><c> sense</c><00:13:00.039><c> of</c><00:13:00.200><c> a</c><00:13:00.500><c> status.</c>

00:13:01.620 --> 00:13:04.379
Much<00:13:02.179><c> like</c><00:13:02.500><c> we</c><00:13:02.639><c> have</c><00:13:02.840><c> in</c><00:13:03.080><c> 1</c><00:13:03.320><c> Corinthians</c><00:13:03.820><c> 15,</c>

00:13:04.500 --> 00:13:07.360
that<00:13:04.539><c> there</c><00:13:04.740><c> is</c><00:13:04.940><c> a</c><00:13:05.720><c> nature</c><00:13:06.039><c> which</c><00:13:06.240><c> is</c><00:13:06.440><c> a</c><00:13:06.539><c> heavenly</c><00:13:06.860><c> nature.</c>

00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.259
That<00:13:07.879><c> one,</c><00:13:08.019><c> of</c><00:13:08.159><c> course,</c><00:13:08.320><c> is</c><00:13:08.519><c> immortality.</c>

00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:15.159
So<00:13:09.700><c> look</c><00:13:09.840><c> what</c><00:13:09.960><c> we've</c><00:13:10.240><c> got</c><00:13:10.340><c> in</c><00:13:11.120><c> chapters</c><00:13:11.639><c> 2,</c><00:13:13.759><c> 5</c><00:13:14.120><c> and</c><00:13:14.299><c> 2,</c><00:13:14.620><c> 6.</c>

00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:17.460
He's<00:13:15.940><c> quickened</c><00:13:16.200><c> us</c><00:13:16.399><c> together.</c>

00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:19.759
He's<00:13:18.100><c> raised</c><00:13:18.240><c> us</c><00:13:18.480><c> up</c><00:13:18.679><c> together.</c>

00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:23.720
And<00:13:20.059><c> he</c><00:13:20.179><c> has</c><00:13:20.419><c> made</c><00:13:20.600><c> us</c><00:13:20.960><c> sit</c><00:13:21.240><c> together</c><00:13:21.840><c> in</c><00:13:22.679><c> the</c><00:13:22.899><c> heavenlies</c><00:13:23.419><c> in</c>

00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.039
Christ<00:13:24.019><c> Jesus.</c>

00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.519
So<00:13:26.100><c> that's</c><00:13:26.679><c> something</c><00:13:26.860><c> that</c><00:13:27.120><c> God</c><00:13:27.399><c> has</c><00:13:27.740><c> done.</c>

00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:30.460
He's<00:13:29.259><c> done</c><00:13:29.500><c> it.</c>

00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:32.159
And<00:13:30.820><c> we've</c><00:13:31.240><c> accepted</c><00:13:31.500><c> the</c><00:13:31.820><c> call.</c>

00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:35.879
And<00:13:32.840><c> we</c><00:13:33.120><c> have</c><00:13:33.299><c> said,</c><00:13:33.659><c> we</c><00:13:33.940><c> want</c><00:13:34.139><c> to</c><00:13:34.299><c> be</c><00:13:34.419><c> part</c><00:13:34.659><c> of</c><00:13:34.840><c> this</c><00:13:35.080><c> thing.</c>

00:13:36.259 --> 00:13:37.480
Well,<00:13:36.440><c> in</c><00:13:36.600><c> that</c><00:13:36.820><c> case,</c><00:13:37.059><c> he</c><00:13:37.320><c> says,</c>

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:41.840
you've<00:13:37.980><c> got</c><00:13:38.139><c> to</c><00:13:38.440><c> assist</c><00:13:38.799><c> in</c><00:13:39.120><c> the</c><00:13:39.379><c> building</c><00:13:39.820><c> of</c><00:13:40.659><c> this</c><00:13:40.860><c> spiritual</c><00:13:41.360><c> temple.</c>

00:13:42.259 --> 00:13:47.580
Because<00:13:42.759><c> in</c><00:13:43.039><c> verse</c><00:13:43.419><c> 21</c><00:13:44.179><c> and</c><00:13:44.960><c> 22,</c><00:13:46.120><c> we</c><00:13:46.279><c> read</c><00:13:46.500><c> this.</c>

00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.200
But<00:13:48.240><c> let's</c><00:13:48.500><c> read,</c><00:13:49.100><c> say,</c><00:13:49.220><c> from</c><00:13:49.440><c> verse</c><00:13:49.700><c> 19</c><00:13:50.379><c> as</c><00:13:51.080><c> the</c><00:13:51.500><c> lead</c><00:13:51.679><c> up</c><00:13:51.899><c> to</c><00:13:52.100><c> it</c>

00:13:58.980 --> 00:14:04.379
Now,<00:13:59.480><c> therefore,</c><00:14:01.039><c> you</c><00:14:01.139><c> are</c><00:14:01.399><c> no</c><00:14:01.639><c> more</c><00:14:02.120><c> strangers</c><00:14:02.759><c> and</c><00:14:03.320><c> foreigners,</c>

00:14:48.299 --> 00:14:50.100
Well,<00:14:48.519><c> there's</c><00:14:48.820><c> no</c><00:14:49.120><c> missing</c><00:14:49.399><c> the</c><00:14:49.700><c> point</c>

At<00:25:41.799><c> this</c><00:25:42.200><c> stage</c><00:25:42.579><c> there's</c><00:25:42.920><c> nothing</c><00:25:43.140><c> much</c><00:25:43.420><c> we</c><00:25:43.599><c> can</c><00:25:43.779><c> do</c>

00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:47.019
about<00:25:44.319><c> making</c><00:25:44.700><c> our</c><00:25:44.980><c> physical</c><00:25:45.380><c> nature</c><00:25:45.940><c> immortal,</c>

00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:48.380
nothing<00:25:47.400><c> we</c><00:25:47.680><c> can</c><00:25:47.859><c> do.</c>

00:25:48.819 --> 00:25:51.920
God<00:25:49.119><c> is</c><00:25:49.319><c> the</c><00:25:49.500><c> one</c><00:25:49.640><c> who</c><00:25:49.759><c> is</c><00:25:49.960><c> going</c><00:25:50.059><c> to</c><00:25:50.279><c> make</c><00:25:50.420><c> that</c><00:25:50.720><c> great</c><00:25:50.920><c> change.</c>

00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:55.700
But<00:25:52.220><c> see</c><00:25:52.400><c> how</c><00:25:53.359><c> knit</c><00:25:53.779><c> together</c><00:25:54.200><c> these</c><00:25:54.539><c> things</c><00:25:54.779><c> are.</c>

00:25:56.299 --> 00:25:58.240
It's<00:25:56.720><c> a</c><00:25:56.900><c> temple</c><00:25:57.220><c> city,</c>

00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:00.779
as<00:25:58.579><c> says</c><00:25:59.059><c> Revelation</c><00:25:59.680><c> chapter</c><00:26:00.140><c> 21.</c>

00:26:01.099 --> 00:26:04.539
I<00:26:01.680><c> saw</c><00:26:02.039><c> the</c><00:26:03.000><c> New</c><00:26:03.400><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:08.740
a<00:26:05.200><c> city</c><00:26:05.539><c> coming</c><00:26:05.980><c> down</c><00:26:06.400><c> out</c><00:26:06.640><c> of</c><00:26:06.839><c> heaven</c><00:26:07.200><c> from</c><00:26:07.799><c> God.</c>

00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:12.119
So<00:26:09.119><c> it's</c><00:26:09.660><c> a</c><00:26:09.980><c> temple</c><00:26:10.440><c> city</c><00:26:10.980><c> based</c><00:26:11.519><c> upon</c><00:26:11.839><c> that.</c>

00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:14.119
And<00:26:12.420><c> here's</c><00:26:12.640><c> this</c><00:26:12.839><c> temple</c><00:26:13.200><c> city,</c>

00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:16.420
the<00:26:14.359><c> designer</c><00:26:14.759><c> and</c><00:26:15.039><c> builder</c><00:26:15.259><c> is</c><00:26:15.500><c> God.</c>

00:26:16.980 --> 00:26:17.779
Now,<00:26:17.240><c> brethren</c><00:26:17.380><c> and</c><00:26:17.599><c> sisters,</c>

00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:21.539
what<00:26:18.400><c> is</c><00:26:18.900><c> required</c><00:26:19.240><c> of</c><00:26:19.440><c> us</c><00:26:19.839><c> to</c><00:26:20.119><c> be</c><00:26:20.299><c> part</c><00:26:20.500><c> of</c><00:26:20.680><c> this?</c>

00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:25.420
We've<00:26:22.700><c> got</c><00:26:22.819><c> to</c><00:26:23.039><c> see</c><00:26:23.200><c> this</c><00:26:23.440><c> as</c><00:26:23.960><c> a</c><00:26:24.059><c> work</c><00:26:24.339><c> of</c><00:26:24.579><c> God.</c>

00:26:25.460 --> 00:26:27.039
We<00:26:25.819><c> want</c><00:26:26.059><c> to</c><00:26:26.220><c> be</c><00:26:26.339><c> in</c><00:26:26.519><c> that</c><00:26:26.779><c> city</c>

00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:28.940
because<00:26:27.480><c> that</c><00:26:27.859><c> city,</c><00:26:28.259><c> that</c><00:26:28.500><c> temple,</c>

00:26:29.259 --> 00:26:30.579
be<00:26:29.339><c> it</c><00:26:29.500><c> the</c><00:26:29.660><c> literal</c><00:26:29.900><c> or</c><00:26:30.059><c> the</c><00:26:30.279><c> figurative,</c>

00:26:30.579 --> 00:26:32.700
we're<00:26:30.900><c> going</c><00:26:31.000><c> to</c><00:26:31.119><c> be</c><00:26:31.319><c> talking</c><00:26:31.519><c> about</c><00:26:31.819><c> the</c><00:26:32.319><c> figurative</c>

00:26:32.700 --> 00:26:36.480
or<00:26:32.960><c> spiritual</c><00:26:33.380><c> now,</c><00:26:34.279><c> is</c><00:26:34.660><c> there</c><00:26:34.880><c> to</c><00:26:35.039><c> the</c><00:26:35.240><c> glory</c><00:26:35.460><c> of</c><00:26:35.700><c> God.</c>

00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:38.359
And<00:26:37.380><c> what</c><00:26:37.519><c> I</c><00:26:37.619><c> would</c><00:26:37.740><c> like</c><00:26:37.880><c> to</c><00:26:38.059><c> do</c><00:26:38.160><c> now</c>

00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:39.859
as<00:26:38.500><c> we</c><00:26:38.680><c> move</c><00:26:38.819><c> on</c><00:26:38.960><c> into</c><00:26:39.140><c> chapter</c><00:26:39.500><c> three</c>

00:26:39.859 --> 00:26:41.720
is<00:26:40.099><c> to</c><00:26:40.400><c> consider</c><00:26:40.700><c> something</c>

00:26:41.859 --> 00:26:43.839
which<00:26:42.200><c> I</c><00:26:42.380><c> believe</c><00:26:42.579><c> is</c><00:26:42.799><c> very,</c><00:26:43.099><c> very</c><00:26:43.460><c> serious.</c>

00:26:43.980 --> 00:26:48.079
I<00:26:44.200><c> think</c><00:26:44.480><c> that</c><00:26:44.680><c> it's</c><00:26:46.240><c> possibly</c><00:26:46.779><c> one</c><00:26:47.039><c> of</c><00:26:47.200><c> the</c><00:26:47.440><c> best</c><00:26:47.740><c> means</c>

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:52.299
I<00:26:50.980><c> don't</c><00:26:51.160><c> mean</c><00:26:51.259><c> just</c><00:26:51.579><c> Ephesians</c><00:26:52.000><c> three,</c>

00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:53.880
but<00:26:52.480><c> what</c><00:26:52.680><c> we've</c><00:26:52.980><c> got</c><00:26:53.119><c> here.</c>

00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:56.480
Ephesians<00:26:55.839><c> chapter</c><00:26:56.180><c> three,</c>

00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.660
if<00:26:56.640><c> we</c><00:26:56.799><c> go</c><00:26:56.960><c> back</c><00:26:57.180><c> to</c><00:26:57.420><c> our</c><00:26:58.039><c> analysis</c><00:26:58.480><c> here,</c>

00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.960
consists<00:27:01.119><c> of</c><00:27:01.579><c> a</c><00:27:01.900><c> prayer</c><00:27:02.299><c> which</c><00:27:03.279><c> starts</c><00:27:03.660><c> in</c><00:27:03.900><c> verse</c><00:27:04.200><c> one.</c>

00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:08.220
It's<00:27:06.380><c> broken</c><00:27:06.680><c> into</c><00:27:07.200><c> with</c><00:27:07.460><c> what</c><00:27:07.640><c> we</c><00:27:07.839><c> would</c><00:27:08.000><c> call</c>

00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:10.460
a<00:27:08.559><c> parenthetical</c><00:27:09.359><c> statement.</c>

00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:12.700
I<00:27:10.779><c> like</c><00:27:10.980><c> to</c><00:27:11.140><c> get</c><00:27:11.220><c> into</c><00:27:11.539><c> each</c><00:27:12.079><c> Bible</c><00:27:12.440><c> school.</c>

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:14.519
I<00:27:13.160><c> really</c><00:27:13.380><c> learned</c><00:27:13.519><c> it</c><00:27:13.680><c> from</c><00:27:13.819><c> somebody</c><00:27:14.160><c> else.</c>

00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:16.619
But<00:27:14.980><c> I</c><00:27:15.460><c> noticed</c><00:27:15.700><c> a</c><00:27:15.859><c> number</c><00:27:16.019><c> of</c><00:27:16.140><c> people</c><00:27:16.339><c> who</c><00:27:16.500><c> think,</c>

00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:17.519
what<00:27:16.799><c> does</c><00:27:16.980><c> that</c><00:27:17.240><c> mean?</c>

00:27:17.980 --> 00:27:21.200
Well,<00:27:18.220><c> it</c><00:27:18.400><c> only</c><00:27:18.680><c> means</c><00:27:18.980><c> that</c><00:27:19.279><c> something</c><00:27:19.599><c> is</c><00:27:19.900><c> put</c><00:27:20.059><c> in</c><00:27:20.319><c> brackets.</c>

00:27:22.019 --> 00:27:23.500
So<00:27:22.279><c> you</c><00:27:22.480><c> put</c><00:27:22.619><c> something</c><00:27:22.940><c> in</c><00:27:23.160><c> brackets</c>

00:27:23.500 --> 00:27:26.960
because<00:27:24.000><c> what</c><00:27:24.240><c> it</c><00:27:24.460><c> means</c><00:27:24.720><c> is</c><00:27:25.140><c> I'm</c><00:27:25.940><c> explaining</c><00:27:26.339><c> something</c>

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:28.619
that<00:27:27.140><c> I</c><00:27:27.740><c> have</c><00:27:28.039><c> just</c><00:27:28.339><c> said,</c>

00:27:28.740 --> 00:27:31.140
and<00:27:28.960><c> it'll</c><00:27:29.180><c> help</c><00:27:29.339><c> you</c><00:27:29.500><c> to</c><00:27:29.700><c> understand</c><00:27:30.019><c> what</c><00:27:30.200><c> is</c><00:27:30.539><c> coming</c><00:27:30.740><c> later.</c>

00:27:31.420 --> 00:27:32.740
But<00:27:31.559><c> if</c><00:27:31.700><c> you</c><00:27:31.880><c> like</c><00:27:32.019><c> to</c><00:27:32.240><c> leave</c><00:27:32.339><c> it</c><00:27:32.559><c> out,</c>

00:27:33.099 --> 00:27:34.759
the<00:27:33.279><c> sentence</c><00:27:33.559><c> should</c><00:27:33.839><c> still</c><00:27:34.079><c> make</c><00:27:34.339><c> sense.</c>

00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.660
In<00:27:35.279><c> other</c><00:27:35.539><c> words,</c><00:27:35.759><c> if</c><00:27:35.940><c> we</c><00:27:36.220><c> were</c><00:27:36.400><c> to</c><00:27:36.940><c> read</c><00:27:37.380><c> Ephesians</c><00:27:38.019><c> chapter</c><00:27:38.299><c> three,</c>

00:29:29.299 --> 00:29:32.079
You<00:29:29.539><c> might</c><00:29:29.700><c> recall</c><00:29:30.039><c> the</c><00:29:30.779><c> cursory</c><00:29:31.400><c> comment</c><00:29:31.680><c> we</c><00:29:31.960><c> made,</c>

00:29:32.099 --> 00:29:33.960
but<00:29:32.240><c> I'll</c><00:29:32.420><c> make</c><00:29:32.539><c> it</c><00:29:32.700><c> a</c><00:29:32.740><c> little</c><00:29:32.880><c> bit</c><00:29:33.099><c> deeper.</c>

00:29:34.619 --> 00:29:36.539
A<00:29:34.819><c> bit</c><00:29:34.980><c> of</c><00:29:35.160><c> grammar</c><00:29:35.319><c> for</c><00:29:35.519><c> the</c><00:29:35.700><c> moment.</c>

00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:38.599
You<00:29:36.940><c> know,</c><00:29:37.299><c> in</c><00:29:37.759><c> the</c><00:29:37.960><c> English</c><00:29:38.200><c> language,</c>

00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:43.039

00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:44.680
Less<00:29:43.519><c> is</c><00:29:43.819><c> speaking</c><00:29:44.099><c> of</c><00:29:44.380><c> one.</c>

00:29:45.059 --> 00:29:47.140
Lesser<00:29:45.480><c> is</c><00:29:45.859><c> the</c><00:29:46.220><c> comparative</c><00:29:46.579><c> degree</c>

00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:49.039
when<00:29:47.759><c> you're</c><00:29:48.079><c> comparing</c><00:29:48.480><c> two.</c>

00:29:49.460 --> 00:29:51.700
One<00:29:49.680><c> is</c><00:29:49.980><c> the</c><00:29:50.220><c> lesser</c><00:29:50.519><c> of</c><00:29:50.900><c> the</c><00:29:51.339><c> other,</c>

00:29:51.980 --> 00:29:53.819
and<00:29:52.599><c> if</c><00:29:52.720><c> you've</c><00:29:52.940><c> got</c><00:29:53.019><c> more</c><00:29:53.299><c> than</c><00:29:53.480><c> two,</c>

00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:55.980
then<00:29:54.400><c> it</c><00:29:54.700><c> is</c><00:29:54.940><c> the</c><00:29:55.119><c> least.</c>

00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:58.960
So<00:29:56.680><c> if</c><00:29:56.980><c> Paul</c><00:29:57.240><c> wanted</c><00:29:57.539><c> to</c><00:29:57.779><c> express</c><00:29:58.160><c> to</c><00:29:58.420><c> us</c>

00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:04.759
that<00:29:59.259><c> he's</c><00:30:02.700><c> least</c><00:30:03.299><c> important</c><00:30:03.839><c> of</c><00:30:04.019><c> all</c><00:30:04.200><c> the</c><00:30:04.400><c> apostles,</c>

00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:06.839
that's<00:30:05.500><c> what</c><00:30:05.619><c> he</c><00:30:05.740><c> had</c><00:30:05.880><c> to</c><00:30:06.140><c> say.</c>

00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:09.839
I<00:30:07.240><c> am</c><00:30:07.599><c> the</c><00:30:07.880><c> least</c><00:30:08.200><c> of</c><00:30:08.420><c> all</c><00:30:08.640><c> the</c><00:30:08.880><c> apostles.</c>

00:30:10.500 --> 00:30:13.579
But<00:30:10.740><c> he</c><00:30:11.259><c> develops</c><00:30:11.680><c> what</c><00:30:12.740><c> we</c><00:30:13.119><c> understand</c>

00:30:13.579 --> 00:30:16.680
is<00:30:14.059><c> quite</c><00:30:14.460><c> an</c><00:30:14.839><c> ungrammatical</c><00:30:15.640><c> statement.</c>

00:30:17.099 --> 00:30:22.019
He<00:30:17.579><c> says,</c><00:30:18.220><c> I</c><00:30:18.220><c> am</c><00:30:18.859><c> lesser</c><00:30:19.359><c> than</c><00:30:20.720><c> the</c><00:30:21.099><c> least.</c>

00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:25.859
And<00:30:23.779><c> you</c><00:30:23.920><c> can't</c><00:30:24.359><c> really</c><00:30:24.660><c> have</c><00:30:24.900><c> that.</c>

00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:28.380
But<00:30:26.460><c> Paul,</c><00:30:26.660><c> you</c><00:30:26.900><c> see,</c><00:30:27.319><c> broke</c><00:30:27.539><c> the</c><00:30:27.740><c> rules</c><00:30:27.900><c> of</c><00:30:28.140><c> grammar.</c>

00:30:28.740 --> 00:30:29.960
It's<00:30:28.799><c> not</c><00:30:28.920><c> the</c><00:30:29.119><c> first</c><00:30:29.319><c> time</c><00:30:29.579><c> that</c><00:30:29.799><c> God</c>

in<00:30:38.240><c> order</c><00:30:38.519><c> to</c><00:30:38.819><c> express</c><00:30:39.519><c> the</c><00:30:39.940><c> most</c><00:30:40.240><c> profound</c>

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:41.980
spiritual<00:30:41.180><c> truth</c><00:30:41.440><c> in</c><00:30:41.579><c> the</c><00:30:41.700><c> Bible.</c>

00:30:42.299 --> 00:30:43.900
But<00:30:42.420><c> be</c><00:30:42.539><c> that</c><00:30:42.660><c> as</c><00:30:42.779><c> it</c><00:30:42.880><c> may,</c><00:30:43.000><c> that's</c><00:30:43.259><c> another</c><00:30:43.440><c> story.</c>

00:30:43.900 --> 00:30:46.440
Paul<00:30:44.759><c> says,</c><00:30:45.180><c> you</c><00:30:45.180><c> find</c><00:30:45.480><c> the</c><00:30:45.599><c> least</c><00:30:45.859><c> apostle,</c>

00:30:46.900 --> 00:30:48.059
and<00:30:47.079><c> I'm</c><00:30:47.279><c> lesser</c><00:30:47.539><c> than</c><00:30:47.720><c> him.</c>

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:48.700
Why?

00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:53.019
Because<00:30:49.480><c> he</c><00:30:49.799><c> says,</c><00:30:50.940><c> this</c><00:30:51.119><c> is</c><00:30:51.359><c> the</c><00:30:51.500><c> grace</c><00:30:51.700><c> given</c><00:30:51.940><c> to</c><00:30:52.140><c> me.</c>

00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:55.619
Unto<00:30:53.500><c> me</c><00:30:54.000><c> who</c><00:30:54.279><c> am</c><00:30:54.619><c> lesser</c><00:30:54.980><c> than</c><00:30:55.259><c> the</c><00:30:55.420><c> least</c>

00:30:55.619 --> 00:30:58.220
of<00:30:55.779><c> all</c><00:30:55.960><c> the</c><00:30:56.140><c> saints</c><00:30:56.400><c> is</c><00:30:56.920><c> this</c><00:30:57.160><c> grace</c><00:30:57.420><c> given.</c>

00:30:58.740 --> 00:31:01.740
Now,<00:30:59.619><c> the</c><00:31:00.000><c> message</c><00:31:00.359><c> then</c><00:31:00.619><c> that</c><00:31:00.759><c> we</c><00:31:00.980><c> want</c><00:31:01.119><c> to</c>

00:31:01.740 --> 00:31:03.200
get<00:31:01.880><c> from</c><00:31:02.099><c> this</c><00:31:02.259><c> this</c><00:31:02.460><c> morning</c><00:31:02.700><c> is</c><00:31:02.900><c> this.</c>

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:05.720
We've<00:31:03.700><c> come</c><00:31:03.900><c> so</c><00:31:04.240><c> far,</c><00:31:04.420><c> we've</c><00:31:04.680><c> talked</c><00:31:04.779><c> a</c><00:31:04.900><c> lot</c><00:31:05.039><c> about</c><00:31:05.259><c> grace.</c>

00:31:06.059 --> 00:31:07.440
We<00:31:06.259><c> see</c><00:31:06.519><c> the</c><00:31:06.680><c> need</c><00:31:06.819><c> for</c><00:31:07.119><c> unity.</c>

00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:10.740
We've<00:31:08.240><c> sort</c><00:31:08.359><c> of</c><00:31:08.519><c> been</c><00:31:08.759><c> implying</c><00:31:09.279><c> it's</c><00:31:09.660><c> unity</c><00:31:09.900><c> with</c><00:31:10.140><c> each</c><00:31:10.400><c> other,</c>

00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:12.559
and<00:31:11.460><c> we've</c><00:31:11.819><c> acknowledged</c><00:31:12.160><c> God,</c>

00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:13.720
and<00:31:12.779><c> we've</c><00:31:13.059><c> acknowledged</c><00:31:13.299><c> Christ.</c>

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:16.119
But<00:31:14.019><c> now,</c><00:31:14.420><c> brethren</c><00:31:14.559><c> and</c><00:31:14.799><c> sisters,</c><00:31:15.079><c> in</c><00:31:15.240><c> our</c><00:31:15.420><c> last</c><00:31:15.619><c> 10</c><00:31:15.819><c> minutes</c>

00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:16.519
or<00:31:16.319><c> so,</c>

00:31:16.579 --> 00:31:19.440
we<00:31:16.700><c> want</c><00:31:16.900><c> to</c><00:31:17.119><c> talk</c><00:31:17.319><c> about</c><00:31:17.859><c> what</c><00:31:18.799><c> this</c><00:31:19.140><c> means</c>

00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:22.140
in<00:31:19.680><c> relationship</c><00:31:20.259><c> to</c><00:31:20.579><c> our</c><00:31:21.180><c> unity</c><00:31:21.500><c> with</c><00:31:21.759><c> God.</c>

00:31:22.539 --> 00:31:25.359
Because<00:31:22.819><c> it's</c><00:31:23.099><c> foolish</c><00:31:23.460><c> talking</c><00:31:23.839><c> about</c><00:31:24.200><c> unity</c><00:31:24.579><c> with</c><00:31:24.819><c> each</c><00:31:25.079><c> other</c>

00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:30.140
if<00:31:26.200><c> we</c><00:31:26.480><c> haven't</c><00:31:26.680><c> got</c><00:31:27.019><c> unity</c><00:31:27.420><c> with</c><00:31:27.720><c> God</c><00:31:28.319><c> and</c><00:31:28.940><c> his</c><00:31:29.220><c> son.</c>

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:33.920
Now,<00:31:31.500><c> unity</c><00:31:31.740><c> with</c><00:31:31.980><c> God</c><00:31:32.160><c> and</c><00:31:32.319><c> his</c><00:31:32.539><c> son</c><00:31:32.720><c> is</c><00:31:33.000><c> not</c><00:31:33.279><c> just</c>

00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.140
giving<00:31:34.279><c> assent</c><00:31:34.740><c> to</c><00:31:35.400><c> some</c><00:31:35.680><c> statement</c><00:31:36.039><c> of</c><00:31:36.319><c> faith.</c>

00:31:37.700 --> 00:31:41.319
It's<00:31:38.019><c> not</c><00:31:38.220><c> just</c><00:31:38.440><c> a</c><00:31:38.500><c> matter</c><00:31:38.720><c> of</c><00:31:38.900><c> saying,</c><00:31:39.579><c> I</c><00:31:39.960><c> believe</c><00:31:40.279><c> the</c><00:31:40.460><c> Bible.</c>

00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.279
But<00:31:41.839><c> the</c><00:31:42.180><c> challenge</c><00:31:42.680><c> is,</c><00:31:43.359><c> why</c><00:31:43.720><c> am</c><00:31:43.940><c> I</c><00:31:44.059><c> here</c><00:31:44.319><c> today?</c>

00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:47.759
Why<00:31:46.180><c> am</c><00:31:46.400><c> I</c><00:31:46.519><c> in</c><00:31:46.599><c> the</c><00:31:46.859><c> truth?</c>

00:31:50.180 --> 00:31:53.099
And<00:31:50.400><c> at</c><00:31:50.579><c> the</c><00:31:50.680><c> risk</c><00:31:50.859><c> of</c><00:31:51.059><c> being</c><00:31:51.259><c> repetitive,</c><00:31:52.059><c> we</c><00:31:52.200><c> say,</c>

00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:54.839
we've<00:31:53.420><c> got</c><00:31:53.539><c> two</c><00:31:53.779><c> choices.</c>

00:31:55.180 --> 00:32:00.099
We're<00:31:55.539><c> either</c><00:31:55.859><c> in</c><00:31:56.059><c> the</c><00:31:56.400><c> truth</c><00:31:56.660><c> for</c><00:31:57.099><c> God's</c><00:31:57.880><c> sake</c><00:31:58.160><c> or</c><00:31:58.740><c> for</c><00:31:58.980><c> our</c><00:31:59.240><c> sake.</c>

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:04.519
We're<00:32:00.559><c> either</c><00:32:00.880><c> in</c><00:32:01.119><c> the</c><00:32:01.440><c> truth</c><00:32:01.720><c> to</c><00:32:02.500><c> declare</c><00:32:02.960><c> the</c><00:32:03.299><c> righteousness</c><00:32:03.759><c> of</c><00:32:04.099><c> God</c>

00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:08.819
or<00:32:05.319><c> to</c><00:32:05.579><c> try</c><00:32:05.720><c> to</c><00:32:06.019><c> establish</c><00:32:06.579><c> our</c><00:32:07.319><c> own</c><00:32:07.619><c> righteousness</c><00:32:08.160><c> by</c><00:32:08.539><c> works</c>

00:32:08.819 --> 00:32:09.839
of<00:32:09.059><c> law.</c>

00:32:10.059 --> 00:32:13.940
We're<00:32:10.380><c> either</c><00:32:10.720><c> in</c><00:32:10.920><c> the</c><00:32:11.220><c> truth</c><00:32:11.440><c> for</c><00:32:12.119><c> God</c><00:32:12.519><c> manifestation</c>

00:32:14.140 --> 00:32:16.460
or<00:32:14.700><c> for</c><00:32:14.940><c> human</c><00:32:15.200><c> salvation.</c>

00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:18.599
Now,<00:32:17.339><c> I</c><00:32:17.440><c> know</c><00:32:17.579><c> that</c><00:32:17.819><c> worries</c><00:32:18.039><c> some</c><00:32:18.339><c> people.</c>

00:32:18.700 --> 00:32:19.940
Let's<00:32:18.940><c> make</c><00:32:19.119><c> it</c><00:32:19.380><c> quite</c><00:32:19.559><c> clear.</c>

00:32:20.299 --> 00:32:22.400
Human<00:32:20.700><c> salvation</c><00:32:21.319><c> is</c><00:32:21.539><c> a</c><00:32:21.640><c> Bible</c><00:32:21.960><c> doctrine.</c>

00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.400
It<00:32:22.880><c> is</c><00:32:23.359><c> absolutely</c><00:32:24.119><c> essential.</c>

00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:28.480
For<00:32:25.640><c> without</c><00:32:26.000><c> it,</c><00:32:26.180><c> God's</c><00:32:26.599><c> purpose</c><00:32:26.839><c> could</c><00:32:27.119><c> not</c><00:32:27.319><c> be</c><00:32:27.519><c> complete.</c>

00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:32.740
But<00:32:29.299><c> if</c><00:32:29.619><c> we</c><00:32:29.880><c> are</c><00:32:30.160><c> merely</c><00:32:30.680><c> seeking</c><00:32:31.200><c> salvation</c>

00:32:32.940 --> 00:32:36.259
for<00:32:33.259><c> the</c><00:32:33.539><c> sake</c><00:32:33.759><c> of</c><00:32:34.039><c> being</c><00:32:34.380><c> saved</c><00:32:34.859><c> so</c><00:32:35.059><c> we</c><00:32:35.220><c> can</c><00:32:35.359><c> be</c><00:32:35.579><c> alive</c><00:32:35.740><c> in</c><00:32:35.880><c> the</c><00:32:36.059><c> kingdom,</c>

00:32:36.259 --> 00:32:37.400
and<00:32:36.440><c> that's</c><00:32:36.720><c> our</c><00:32:36.880><c> motivation.</c>

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:40.039
We<00:32:37.859><c> need</c><00:32:38.099><c> to</c><00:32:38.299><c> be</c><00:32:38.559><c> very,</c><00:32:39.059><c> very</c><00:32:39.460><c> careful</c>

00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:44.380
because<00:32:40.819><c> it</c><00:32:41.059><c> could</c><00:32:41.240><c> be</c><00:32:41.519><c> purely</c><00:32:42.119><c> a</c><00:32:42.819><c> fleshly</c><00:32:43.180><c> motivation.</c>

00:32:45.299 --> 00:32:47.380
Find<00:32:45.480><c> the</c><00:32:45.720><c> first</c><00:32:45.960><c> person</c><00:32:46.279><c> you</c><00:32:46.480><c> can</c><00:32:46.640><c> outside</c><00:32:47.119><c> there,</c>

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:49.059
walking<00:32:47.700><c> past</c><00:32:48.000><c> who's</c><00:32:48.220><c> not</c><00:32:48.400><c> a</c><00:32:48.539><c> Christodolphian,</c>

00:32:49.140 --> 00:32:50.980
and<00:32:49.180><c> say,</c><00:32:49.500><c> would</c><00:32:49.500><c> you</c><00:32:49.660><c> like</c><00:32:49.799><c> to</c><00:32:49.960><c> live</c><00:32:50.059><c> forever?</c>

00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:53.759
And<00:32:51.720><c> they'd</c><00:32:51.980><c> say,</c><00:32:52.380><c> oh,</c><00:32:52.819><c> yes.</c>

00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:55.539
Unless<00:32:54.119><c> they're</c><00:32:54.299><c> going</c><00:32:54.500><c> through</c><00:32:54.720><c> some</c><00:32:54.960><c> trauma</c><00:32:55.220><c> in</c><00:32:55.400><c> life</c>

00:32:55.539 --> 00:32:56.920
and<00:32:55.660><c> there</c><00:32:55.740><c> are</c><00:32:55.880><c> potential</c><00:32:56.240><c> suicides.</c>

00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:58.559
But<00:32:57.200><c> we'll</c><00:32:57.400><c> assume</c><00:32:57.599><c> they're</c><00:32:57.819><c> not.</c>

00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:00.640
Let's<00:32:59.180><c> assume</c><00:32:59.420><c> they</c><00:32:59.619><c> are</c><00:32:59.799><c> a</c><00:32:59.880><c> normal</c><00:33:00.160><c> person.</c>

00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:02.579
They<00:33:01.039><c> would</c><00:33:01.200><c> say,</c><00:33:01.319><c> yes,</c><00:33:01.500><c> I'd</c><00:33:01.799><c> love</c><00:33:01.940><c> to</c><00:33:02.140><c> live</c><00:33:02.240><c> forever.</c>

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:04.019
Would<00:33:02.940><c> you</c><00:33:03.119><c> love</c><00:33:03.240><c> to</c><00:33:03.440><c> live</c><00:33:03.539><c> forever</c>

00:33:04.019 --> 00:33:05.720
in<00:33:04.259><c> a</c><00:33:04.519><c> world</c><00:33:04.720><c> of</c><00:33:05.019><c> righteousness</c><00:33:05.400><c> and</c><00:33:05.640><c> peace?</c>

00:33:05.779 --> 00:33:07.160
Oh,<00:33:06.000><c> I'd</c><00:33:06.279><c> love</c><00:33:06.400><c> it.</c>

00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:10.079
Why<00:33:09.259><c> would</c><00:33:09.440><c> they</c><00:33:09.599><c> love</c><00:33:09.779><c> it?</c>

00:33:10.339 --> 00:33:13.640
Because<00:33:10.680><c> you</c><00:33:10.920><c> see</c><00:33:11.079><c> there's</c><00:33:11.960><c> an</c><00:33:12.200><c> inbuilt</c><00:33:12.480><c> reaction</c><00:33:12.940><c> inside</c><00:33:13.339><c> of</c><00:33:13.500><c> us</c>

00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.740
which<00:33:13.880><c> says,</c><00:33:14.200><c> I</c><00:33:14.200><c> don't</c><00:33:14.359><c> want</c><00:33:14.519><c> to</c><00:33:14.720><c> die.</c>

00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:17.099
I<00:33:16.759><c> don't</c><00:33:16.900><c> know.</c>

00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:19.380
Maybe<00:33:17.599><c> some</c><00:33:17.819><c> years</c><00:33:18.039><c> ago,</c><00:33:18.420><c> some</c><00:33:18.539><c> of</c><00:33:18.680><c> you</c><00:33:18.759><c> had</c><00:33:18.940><c> to</c><00:33:19.220><c> suffer</c>

00:33:19.380 --> 00:33:21.140
some<00:33:19.640><c> of</c><00:33:19.799><c> these</c><00:33:20.000><c> things</c><00:33:20.180><c> when</c><00:33:20.339><c> you</c><00:33:20.500><c> went</c><00:33:20.599><c> to</c><00:33:20.880><c> courses</c>

00:33:21.140 --> 00:33:24.500
and<00:33:21.359><c> you</c><00:33:21.500><c> learned</c><00:33:21.640><c> things</c><00:33:21.940><c> like</c><00:33:22.759><c> Maslow's</c><00:33:23.980><c> hierarchy.</c>

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:25.440
What<00:33:25.160><c> was</c><00:33:25.279><c> it?</c>

00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:28.740
Hierarchy<00:33:26.019><c> of</c><00:33:26.279><c> prepotency</c><00:33:27.019><c> in</c><00:33:27.299><c> regard</c><00:33:27.519><c> to</c><00:33:27.740><c> motivation</c><00:33:28.299><c> or</c><00:33:28.500><c> something.</c>

00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:32.380
And<00:33:29.299><c> you</c><00:33:29.400><c> had</c><00:33:29.559><c> these</c><00:33:29.960><c> needs,</c><00:33:30.420><c> you</c><00:33:30.420><c> know,</c><00:33:31.079><c> physiological.</c>

00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:34.759
I<00:33:32.640><c> think</c><00:33:32.880><c> it</c><00:33:33.039><c> was</c><00:33:33.279><c> sex,</c><00:33:33.660><c> social.</c>

00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:38.000
And<00:33:35.240><c> he</c><00:33:35.440><c> goes</c><00:33:35.700><c> down</c><00:33:35.980><c> the</c><00:33:36.599><c> different</c><00:33:36.960><c> safety,</c>

00:33:38.140 --> 00:33:42.259
love<00:33:38.380><c> and</c><00:33:38.660><c> belongingness,</c><00:33:40.059><c> esteem,</c><00:33:41.000><c> self</c><00:33:41.240><c>-actualization.</c>

00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:43.380
Oh,<00:33:42.940><c> I</c><00:33:43.000><c> did</c><00:33:43.180><c> well.</c>

00:33:43.660 --> 00:33:45.619
It's<00:33:43.920><c> 30</c><00:33:44.099><c> years</c><00:33:44.319><c> ago,</c><00:33:44.599><c> I</c><00:33:44.680><c> think</c><00:33:44.680><c> I'll</c><00:33:44.859><c> know</c><00:33:44.880><c> this.</c>

00:33:45.779 --> 00:33:47.720
But<00:33:46.099><c> right</c><00:33:46.420><c> at</c><00:33:46.599><c> the</c><00:33:46.720><c> top</c><00:33:46.900><c> of</c><00:33:47.059><c> the</c><00:33:47.279><c> human</c><00:33:47.500><c> needs</c>

00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:49.559
was<00:33:48.019><c> physical,</c><00:33:48.880><c> physiological.</c>

00:33:49.819 --> 00:33:51.380
I'm<00:33:50.299><c> worried</c><00:33:50.519><c> about</c><00:33:50.839><c> my</c><00:33:51.099><c> body.</c>

00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:52.980
I<00:33:51.660><c> don't</c><00:33:51.759><c> want</c><00:33:51.859><c> to</c><00:33:52.099><c> die.</c>

00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:57.819
So<00:33:53.680><c> what</c><00:33:53.960><c> we're</c><00:33:54.240><c> saying</c><00:33:54.500><c> is</c><00:33:55.140><c> the</c><00:33:55.599><c> desire</c><00:33:56.079><c> for</c><00:33:56.400><c> salvation</c>

00:33:57.859 --> 00:34:01.119
could<00:33:58.339><c> be</c><00:33:59.079><c> purely</c><00:33:59.660><c> a</c><00:34:00.039><c> fleshly</c><00:34:00.440><c> motivation</c>

00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.140
and<00:34:01.960><c> we</c><00:34:02.160><c> are</c><00:34:02.400><c> deceiving</c><00:34:02.819><c> ourselves.</c>

00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:06.119
We'll<00:34:04.660><c> deal</c><00:34:04.839><c> with</c><00:34:05.039><c> the</c><00:34:05.220><c> deceitfulness</c><00:34:05.720><c> of</c><00:34:06.000><c> sin</c>

00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.219
in<00:34:06.299><c> the</c><00:34:06.480><c> study</c><00:34:06.660><c> after</c><00:34:06.980><c> next</c><00:34:07.220><c> God's</c><00:34:07.819><c> God</c><00:34:08.000><c> willing.</c>

00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:10.059
But<00:34:08.639><c> at</c><00:34:08.699><c> this</c><00:34:08.900><c> stage,</c><00:34:09.039><c> we're</c><00:34:09.199><c> not</c><00:34:09.320><c> talking</c><00:34:09.539><c> about</c><00:34:09.840><c> sin.</c>

00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:11.960
We're<00:34:10.440><c> just</c><00:34:10.619><c> talking</c><00:34:10.840><c> about</c><00:34:11.139><c> self</c><00:34:11.420><c>-deceit.</c>

00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:15.019
So<00:34:12.199><c> how</c><00:34:12.539><c> can</c><00:34:12.760><c> I</c><00:34:12.980><c> know</c><00:34:13.239><c> whether</c><00:34:13.480><c> I'm</c><00:34:13.679><c> in</c><00:34:13.880><c> the</c><00:34:14.139><c> truth</c>

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:18.039
because<00:34:15.599><c> I</c><00:34:16.039><c> love</c><00:34:16.340><c> God</c><00:34:16.639><c> and</c><00:34:16.800><c> I</c><00:34:16.940><c> want</c><00:34:17.059><c> to</c><00:34:17.219><c> see</c><00:34:17.340><c> His</c><00:34:17.659><c> glory</c>

00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:20.500
fill<00:34:18.260><c> the</c><00:34:18.480><c> earth</c><00:34:18.599><c> and</c><00:34:18.780><c> that's</c><00:34:19.099><c> why</c><00:34:19.340><c> I</c><00:34:19.460><c> want</c><00:34:19.599><c> to</c><00:34:19.760><c> be</c><00:34:19.940><c> there</c>

00:34:20.500 --> 00:34:25.119
or<00:34:21.079><c> because</c><00:34:21.539><c> deep</c><00:34:21.880><c> down,</c><00:34:22.860><c> it's</c><00:34:23.159><c> just</c><00:34:23.420><c> a</c><00:34:23.599><c> fleshly</c><00:34:23.920><c> motivation.</c>

00:34:26.659 --> 00:34:28.280
I'm<00:34:27.079><c> suggesting,</c><00:34:27.679><c> brethren</c><00:34:27.840><c> and</c><00:34:28.079><c> sisters,</c>

00:34:28.300 --> 00:34:32.179
that<00:34:28.739><c> our</c><00:34:29.099><c> prayers</c><00:34:29.619><c> are</c><00:34:31.019><c> perhaps</c><00:34:31.239><c> the</c><00:34:31.480><c> best</c><00:34:31.820><c> method</c>

00:34:32.179 --> 00:34:33.420
of<00:34:32.480><c> self</c><00:34:32.719><c>-examination.</c>

00:34:33.420 --> 00:34:35.559
Once<00:34:33.940><c> we've</c><00:34:34.320><c> offered</c><00:34:34.460><c> our</c><00:34:34.739><c> prayers,</c><00:34:35.079><c> say</c><00:34:35.099><c> now,</c>

00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:37.559
exactly<00:34:35.980><c> what</c><00:34:36.179><c> did</c><00:34:36.360><c> I</c><00:34:36.519><c> pray</c><00:34:36.719><c> for?</c>

00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:40.659
Well,<00:34:39.039><c> there</c><00:34:39.239><c> are</c><00:34:39.480><c> in</c><00:34:39.639><c> the</c><00:34:39.820><c> Bible</c><00:34:40.039><c> a</c><00:34:40.320><c> number</c>

00:34:40.659 --> 00:34:43.079
of<00:34:40.860><c> what</c><00:34:40.980><c> we</c><00:34:41.199><c> might</c><00:34:41.360><c> call</c><00:34:41.659><c> model</c><00:34:42.079><c> prayers.</c>

00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:46.099
The<00:34:43.480><c> so</c><00:34:43.800><c>-called</c><00:34:44.000><c> Lord's</c><00:34:44.559><c> Prayer</c><00:34:44.699><c> is</c><00:34:44.960><c> the</c><00:34:45.219><c> classic.</c>

00:34:46.539 --> 00:34:48.820
But<00:34:46.719><c> you</c><00:34:46.980><c> take,</c><00:34:47.219><c> for</c><00:34:47.519><c> example,</c><00:34:48.019><c> the</c><00:34:48.400><c> prayers</c>

00:34:48.820 --> 00:34:51.380
that<00:34:49.219><c> were</c><00:34:49.239><c> offered</c><00:34:49.420><c> by</c><00:34:49.980><c> St.</c><00:34:50.840><c> Nehemiah.</c>

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.460
Nehemiah<00:34:52.139><c> chapter</c><00:34:52.460><c> one</c><00:34:53.119><c> follows</c><00:34:53.639><c> essentially</c>

00:34:54.460 --> 00:34:56.840
the<00:34:54.760><c> same</c><00:34:55.079><c> pattern</c><00:34:55.400><c> as</c><00:34:55.579><c> the</c><00:34:55.739><c> Lord's</c><00:34:56.159><c> Prayer.</c>

00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:59.179
A<00:34:57.420><c> Daniel's</c><00:34:57.920><c> Prayer</c><00:34:58.039><c> in</c><00:34:58.219><c> Daniel</c><00:34:58.559><c> chapter</c><00:34:58.880><c> nine</c>

00:34:59.179 --> 00:35:00.900
is<00:34:59.420><c> another</c><00:34:59.679><c> example</c><00:35:00.099><c> of</c><00:35:00.239><c> a</c><00:35:00.380><c> model</c><00:35:00.619><c> prayer.</c>

00:35:00.900 --> 00:35:04.300
Follows<00:35:01.860><c> the</c><00:35:02.000><c> same</c><00:35:02.320><c> pattern</c><00:35:02.659><c> as</c><00:35:02.880><c> the</c><00:35:03.079><c> Lord's</c><00:35:03.539><c> Prayer.</c>

00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:05.519
Hezekiah<00:35:05.000><c> similarly.</c>

00:35:05.860 --> 00:35:08.340
Now<00:35:06.179><c> here</c><00:35:06.380><c> we've</c><00:35:06.659><c> got</c><00:35:06.780><c> a</c><00:35:07.019><c> prayer</c><00:35:07.159><c> by</c><00:35:07.440><c> Paul.</c>

00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:12.179
I'll<00:35:08.780><c> put</c><00:35:08.840><c> the</c><00:35:09.099><c> basic</c><00:35:09.400><c> structure</c><00:35:09.780><c> up</c><00:35:09.980><c> because</c><00:35:10.300><c> it's</c><00:35:10.760><c> really,</c>

00:35:12.179 --> 00:35:14.139
in<00:35:12.420><c> fact,</c><00:35:12.719><c> very</c><00:35:12.960><c> simple.</c>

00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.739

00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:22.960
It's<00:37:19.880><c> a</c><00:37:19.940><c> dangerous</c><00:37:20.340><c> decision,</c><00:37:20.800><c> but</c><00:37:21.239><c> I'll</c><00:37:21.960><c> try</c><00:37:22.219><c> it.</c>
