00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.000

00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.299
So<00:01:17.280><c> when</c><00:01:17.400><c> he</c><00:01:17.599><c> says</c><00:01:17.780><c> we</c><00:01:18.019><c> there,</c><00:01:18.140><c> he's</c><00:01:18.400><c> talking</c><00:01:18.560><c> about</c><00:01:18.760><c> the</c><00:01:18.980><c> apostles.</c>

00:01:19.379 --> 00:01:23.140

00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:30.439
We<00:01:25.920><c> went</c><00:01:26.099><c> over</c><00:01:26.359><c> how</c><00:01:26.760><c> highly</c><00:01:27.040><c> respected</c><00:01:28.019><c> the</c><00:01:28.659><c> apostles</c><00:01:29.359><c> were,</c><00:01:29.959><c> right?</c>

00:01:30.659 --> 00:01:34.040
They<00:01:31.219><c> were</c><00:01:31.659><c> steadfast</c><00:01:32.299><c> in</c><00:01:32.480><c> the</c><00:01:32.700><c> apostles'</c><00:01:33.920><c> doctrine.</c>

00:01:34.099 --> 00:01:36.079
They<00:01:34.260><c> all</c><00:01:34.439><c> taught</c><00:01:34.640><c> the</c><00:01:34.900><c> same</c><00:01:35.180><c> thing.</c>

00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.120
They've<00:01:39.439><c> gone</c><00:01:39.739><c> through</c><00:01:40.000><c> an</c><00:01:40.159><c> ecclesial</c><00:01:40.760><c> split,</c><00:01:41.780><c> right?</c>

They're<00:01:42.359><c> a</c><00:01:42.459><c> little</c><00:01:42.659><c> confused</c><00:01:43.319><c> about</c><00:01:43.640><c> their</c><00:01:43.939><c> faith,</c><00:01:44.299><c> perhaps.</c>

00:01:45.260 --> 00:01:48.019
And<00:01:45.500><c> he</c><00:01:45.579><c> wants</c><00:01:45.799><c> to</c><00:01:46.120><c> reassure</c><00:01:46.640><c> them,</c><00:01:46.939><c> give</c><00:01:47.060><c> them</c><00:01:47.340><c> confidence</c>

00:01:54.260 --> 00:01:57.140
When<00:01:54.739><c> you</c><00:01:55.120><c> first</c><00:01:55.439><c> understood</c><00:01:55.959><c> the</c><00:01:56.180><c> gospel</c><00:01:56.579><c> message,</c>

That's<00:05:12.079><c> how</c><00:05:12.319><c> we're</c><00:05:12.680><c> called,</c><00:05:12.959><c> the</c><00:05:13.199><c> sons</c><00:05:13.420><c> and</c><00:05:13.680><c> daughters</c><00:05:13.899><c> of</c><00:05:14.160><c> God,</c>

00:05:14.339 --> 00:05:16.879
when<00:05:14.500><c> we</c><00:05:14.759><c> walk</c><00:05:15.199><c> in</c><00:05:15.839><c> the</c><00:05:16.040><c> light.</c>

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.699
Okay,<00:05:21.420><c> God</c><00:05:21.660><c> is</c><00:05:21.959><c> light,</c><00:05:22.279><c> he's</c><00:05:22.639><c> the</c><00:05:22.920><c> source</c><00:05:23.199><c> of</c><00:05:23.500><c> light,</c>

00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.879
righteousness,<00:05:24.720><c> truth,</c><00:05:25.699><c> salvation.</c>

00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.019
God<00:05:27.360><c> is</c><00:05:27.579><c> light,</c><00:05:27.779><c> in</c><00:05:28.120><c> him</c><00:05:28.439><c> is</c><00:05:28.779><c> no</c><00:05:29.120><c> darkness</c><00:05:29.740><c> at</c><00:05:30.139><c> all.</c>

00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.279
So<00:05:33.160><c> of</c><00:05:33.240><c> course,</c><00:05:33.519><c> light</c><00:05:33.639><c> was</c><00:05:34.060><c> the</c><00:05:34.120><c> first</c><00:05:34.379><c> act</c><00:05:34.600><c> of</c><00:05:34.920><c> creation,</c>

00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.079
let<00:05:35.540><c> there</c><00:05:35.740><c> be</c><00:05:35.939><c> light.</c>

00:05:37.459 --> 00:05:39.879
God<00:05:37.660><c> then</c><00:05:37.980><c> divides</c><00:05:38.279><c> the</c><00:05:38.560><c> light</c><00:05:38.740><c> from</c><00:05:38.980><c> the</c><00:05:39.220><c> darkness,</c><00:05:39.699><c> right?</c>

00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.160
There's<00:05:40.100><c> a</c><00:05:40.399><c> spiritual</c><00:05:41.000><c> separation</c><00:05:41.720><c> from</c><00:05:42.560><c> error</c><00:05:42.839><c> is</c><00:05:43.100><c> required.</c>

00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.420
What<00:05:45.379><c> we</c><00:05:45.699><c> believe</c><00:05:46.199><c> matters.</c>

00:05:49.139 --> 00:05:51.199
Light,<00:05:49.439><c> darkness,</c><00:05:50.040><c> truth,</c><00:05:50.360><c> error,</c><00:05:50.620><c> good,</c><00:05:50.860><c> evil,</c>

00:05:51.459 --> 00:05:55.360
woe<00:05:51.699><c> unto</c><00:05:51.959><c> them</c><00:05:52.519><c> who</c><00:05:53.100><c> call</c><00:05:53.360><c> evil</c><00:05:53.660><c> good</c><00:05:53.980><c> and</c><00:05:54.199><c> good</c><00:05:54.500><c> evil,</c>

00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.240
who<00:05:55.699><c> put</c><00:05:55.879><c> darkness</c><00:05:56.360><c> for</c><00:05:56.620><c> light</c><00:05:56.939><c> and</c><00:05:57.220><c> light</c><00:05:57.899><c> for</c><00:05:58.199><c> darkness.</c>

00:05:59.339 --> 00:06:02.720
We<00:05:59.620><c> could</c><00:05:59.839><c> sum</c><00:06:00.040><c> that</c><00:06:00.259><c> up</c><00:06:00.439><c> by</c><00:06:00.720><c> saying</c><00:06:00.980><c> confusion,</c><00:06:02.399><c> right?</c>

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.040
The<00:06:03.000><c> world</c><00:06:03.399><c> today</c><00:06:04.040><c> is</c><00:06:04.720><c> confused.</c>

00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.959
Told,<00:06:08.139><c> you</c><00:06:08.279><c> can't</c><00:06:08.720><c> judge</c><00:06:09.360><c> others,</c>

00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:13.060
you<00:06:10.120><c> can't</c><00:06:10.500><c> discern</c><00:06:11.199><c> what's</c><00:06:11.800><c> right</c><00:06:12.100><c> and</c><00:06:12.300><c> what's</c><00:06:12.639><c> wrong.</c>

00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.560
What's<00:06:13.720><c> right</c><00:06:13.860><c> for</c><00:06:14.100><c> someone</c><00:06:14.519><c> might</c><00:06:15.120><c> be</c><00:06:15.319><c> wrong</c><00:06:15.579><c> for</c><00:06:15.879><c> someone</c><00:06:16.120><c> else.</c>

00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:18.500
You<00:06:17.279><c> do</c><00:06:17.560><c> you.</c>

00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:20.660
Love<00:06:19.540><c> is</c><00:06:19.779><c> love.</c>

00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:27.019
We<00:06:21.540><c> have</c><00:06:21.879><c> a</c><00:06:22.339><c> world</c><00:06:22.660><c> that</c><00:06:22.959><c> has</c><00:06:23.360><c> disregarded</c><00:06:24.519><c> the</c><00:06:24.899><c> commands</c><00:06:25.459><c> of</c><00:06:26.139><c> God.</c>

00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.480
Remember<00:06:28.339><c> reading</c><00:06:28.639><c> an</c><00:06:28.939><c> article</c><00:06:29.439><c> a</c><00:06:29.779><c> couple</c><00:06:29.959><c> of</c><00:06:30.100><c> months</c><00:06:30.259><c> ago</c>

00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.819
about<00:06:30.699><c> the</c><00:06:30.860><c> return</c><00:06:31.360><c> of</c><00:06:31.620><c> Christianity,</c>

00:06:32.899 --> 00:06:36.420

00:06:37.379 --> 00:06:39.199
because<00:06:37.579><c> they</c><00:06:37.819><c> need</c><00:06:38.100><c> structure.</c>

00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:42.379
They're<00:06:40.639><c> not</c><00:06:40.839><c> buying</c><00:06:41.100><c> into</c><00:06:41.500><c> it</c><00:06:41.720><c> anymore</c><00:06:42.019><c> that,</c>

00:06:44.100 --> 00:06:45.540
It's<00:06:44.319><c> up</c><00:06:44.500><c> to</c><00:06:44.699><c> you</c><00:06:44.879><c> to</c><00:06:45.079><c> decide.</c>

00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.199
And<00:06:46.180><c> they're</c><00:06:46.360><c> like,</c><00:06:46.579><c> we</c><00:06:46.860><c> can't,</c><00:06:47.500><c> we</c><00:06:47.759><c> need</c><00:06:48.160><c> to</c><00:06:48.360><c> be</c><00:06:48.560><c> told</c><00:06:48.939><c> what</c>

00:06:52.339 --> 00:06:54.180
And<00:06:52.439><c> the</c><00:06:52.540><c> world</c><00:06:52.680><c> doesn't</c><00:06:52.920><c> know</c><00:06:53.079><c> it</c><00:06:53.339><c> anymore.</c>

00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.220

00:06:59.220 --> 00:07:01.939
The<00:06:59.339><c> Lord</c><00:06:59.620><c> is</c><00:06:59.879><c> my</c><00:07:00.079><c> light</c><00:07:00.399><c> and</c><00:07:00.720><c> salvation.</c>

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.540
Light<00:07:03.500><c> is</c><00:07:03.740><c> the</c><00:07:04.000><c> word,</c><00:07:04.319><c> the</c><00:07:04.439><c> source</c><00:07:04.680><c> of</c><00:07:04.980><c> spiritual</c><00:07:05.480><c> life.</c>

00:07:07.220 --> 00:07:11.199
Thy<00:07:07.379><c> word</c><00:07:07.579><c> is</c><00:07:07.819><c> a</c><00:07:07.980><c> lamp</c><00:07:08.180><c> unto</c><00:07:08.500><c> my</c><00:07:08.879><c> feet,</c><00:07:09.500><c> a</c><00:07:09.699><c> light</c><00:07:09.920><c> unto</c><00:07:10.259><c> my</c><00:07:10.639><c> path.</c>

00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:19.360
Jesus<00:07:17.360><c> says,</c><00:07:17.800><c> I</c><00:07:17.839><c> am</c><00:07:18.019><c> the</c><00:07:18.180><c> light</c><00:07:18.300><c> of</c><00:07:18.500><c> the</c><00:07:18.720><c> world.</c>

This<00:10:38.940><c> is</c><00:10:39.179><c> the</c><00:10:39.440><c> sin</c><00:10:39.720><c> of</c><00:10:40.039><c> the</c><00:10:40.240><c> nature</c><00:10:40.580><c> of</c><00:10:40.879><c> man.</c>

00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:41.100
God<00:11:37.820><c> will</c><00:11:38.139><c> do</c><00:11:38.779><c> what</c><00:11:39.440><c> he</c><00:11:39.700><c> has</c><00:11:39.980><c> said</c><00:11:40.179><c> he</c><00:11:40.320><c> will</c><00:11:40.580><c> do.</c>

00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:47.179
Sometimes<00:11:43.600><c> we</c><00:11:43.820><c> feel</c><00:11:44.100><c> like</c><00:11:44.360><c> we're</c><00:11:44.960><c> overwhelmed</c><00:11:45.700><c> by</c><00:11:46.139><c> sin</c>

00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.220
I<00:16:05.120><c> do</c><00:16:05.379><c> not</c><00:16:05.620><c> need</c><00:16:06.019><c> an</c><00:16:06.299><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:16:07.539 --> 00:16:09.519
I<00:16:07.740><c> don't</c><00:16:07.940><c> need</c><00:16:08.120><c> a</c><00:16:08.360><c> building,</c><00:16:09.220><c> right?</c>

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.120
Usually<00:16:09.879><c> they're</c><00:16:10.320><c> disgruntled</c><00:16:10.779><c> by</c><00:16:11.720><c> something</c>

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:13.840
that<00:16:12.360><c> took</c><00:16:12.519><c> place</c><00:16:12.779><c> in</c><00:16:12.980><c> the</c><00:16:13.100><c> Ecclesia</c>

00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.500
or<00:16:14.419><c> they're</c><00:16:14.740><c> upset</c><00:16:15.080><c> with</c><00:16:15.320><c> an</c><00:16:15.659><c> AB</c><00:16:15.919><c> decision</c>

00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:17.980
or<00:16:16.820><c> whatever</c><00:16:17.100><c> it</c><00:16:17.299><c> might</c><00:16:17.480><c> be.</c>

00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.259
But<00:16:18.519><c> they</c><00:16:18.740><c> say,</c><00:16:18.919><c> you</c><00:16:19.039><c> know,</c><00:16:19.159><c> they're</c><00:16:19.379><c> one</c><00:16:19.559><c> man</c><00:16:19.879><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:16:20.419 --> 00:16:22.700
There's<00:16:20.539><c> no</c><00:16:20.720><c> such</c><00:16:20.899><c> thing,</c><00:16:22.440><c> right?</c>

00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:24.000
God's<00:16:23.200><c> building</c><00:16:23.440><c> a</c><00:16:23.720><c> family.</c>

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.360
No<00:16:24.600><c> one</c><00:16:24.820><c> is</c><00:16:25.100><c> a</c><00:16:25.340><c> one</c><00:16:25.600><c> man</c><00:16:25.899><c> family.</c>

00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:28.360
It's<00:16:26.620><c> a</c><00:16:26.779><c> man</c><00:16:26.940><c> without</c><00:16:27.259><c> a</c><00:16:27.480><c> family.</c>

00:16:29.059 --> 00:16:32.200
So<00:16:29.299><c> you</c><00:16:29.440><c> can't</c><00:16:30.059><c> perform</c><00:16:30.639><c> this</c><00:16:31.200><c> command</c>

00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:34.639
to<00:16:32.559><c> love</c><00:16:32.840><c> your</c><00:16:33.059><c> brothers</c><00:16:33.299><c> and</c><00:16:33.600><c> sisters</c>

00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.480
if<00:16:35.120><c> you're</c><00:16:35.299><c> not</c><00:16:35.460><c> gonna</c><00:16:35.600><c> be</c><00:16:35.779><c> part</c><00:16:36.179><c> of</c><00:16:36.399><c> an</c><00:16:36.580><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:43.039
These<00:16:38.120><c> are</c><00:16:38.299><c> those</c><00:16:38.620><c> that</c><00:16:40.120><c> purposely</c><00:16:40.820><c> isolate</c><00:16:41.820><c> themselves</c>

00:16:43.460 --> 00:16:45.159
from<00:16:44.019><c> an</c><00:16:44.200><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:46.620
And<00:16:45.879><c> again,</c><00:16:46.039><c> it's</c><00:16:46.279><c> a</c><00:16:46.379><c> command.</c>

00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:50.240
Anyone<00:16:47.039><c> who</c><00:16:47.240><c> loves</c><00:16:47.480><c> God</c><00:16:47.779><c> must</c><00:16:48.080><c> also</c><00:16:48.480><c> love</c><00:16:49.139><c> their</c><00:16:49.480><c> brother</c><00:16:49.740><c> and</c><00:16:50.019><c> sister.</c>

00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:52.120
You<00:16:50.639><c> can't</c><00:16:51.000><c> claim</c><00:16:51.220><c> love</c><00:16:51.440><c> of</c><00:16:51.700><c> God</c>

00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.840
and<00:16:52.519><c> then</c><00:16:52.700><c> despise</c><00:16:53.600><c> his</c><00:16:53.919><c> children.</c>

00:16:54.899 --> 00:16:55.559
Doesn't<00:16:55.320><c> work.</c>

00:16:55.659 --> 00:16:57.759
It's<00:16:55.779><c> not</c><00:16:56.000><c> separated</c><00:16:56.460><c> like</c><00:16:56.799><c> that.</c>

00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:00.620
They<00:16:58.720><c> go</c><00:16:58.940><c> hand</c><00:16:59.200><c> in</c><00:16:59.399><c> hand.</c>

00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:03.360
And<00:17:01.980><c> John</c><00:17:02.139><c> says,</c><00:17:02.419><c> my</c><00:17:02.539><c> little</c><00:17:02.860><c> children,</c>

00:17:03.860 --> 00:17:06.740
let<00:17:04.000><c> us</c><00:17:04.200><c> not</c><00:17:04.359><c> love</c><00:17:04.559><c> in</c><00:17:04.779><c> word,</c><00:17:05.160><c> but</c><00:17:05.259><c> deed</c><00:17:05.759><c> in</c><00:17:06.180><c> truth,</c><00:17:06.519><c> right?</c>

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:08.920
Putting<00:17:06.940><c> that</c><00:17:07.299><c> love</c><00:17:07.500><c> into</c><00:17:07.880><c> action.</c>

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:13.299
And<00:17:12.059><c> this</c><00:17:12.259><c> is</c><00:17:12.460><c> the</c><00:17:12.599><c> love</c><00:17:12.740><c> of</c><00:17:12.980><c> God</c>

00:17:13.299 --> 00:17:14.740
that<00:17:13.740><c> we</c><00:17:14.019><c> keep</c><00:17:14.160><c> his</c><00:17:14.400><c> commandments.</c>

00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:17.380
This<00:17:15.000><c> is</c><00:17:15.160><c> how</c><00:17:15.319><c> we</c><00:17:15.680><c> show</c><00:17:15.900><c> our</c><00:17:16.220><c> gratitude</c>

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:20.900
for<00:17:17.960><c> what</c><00:17:18.160><c> has</c><00:17:18.420><c> been</c><00:17:18.579><c> done</c><00:17:18.799><c> for</c><00:17:19.059><c> us</c><00:17:19.380><c> and</c><00:17:19.579><c> his</c><00:17:19.819><c> son</c>

00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:22.960
by<00:17:21.900><c> keeping</c><00:17:22.200><c> his</c><00:17:22.519><c> commandments.</c>

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:28.279
So<00:17:23.200><c> how</c><00:17:23.359><c> do</c><00:17:23.519><c> we</c><00:17:23.660><c> show</c><00:17:23.940><c> forth</c><00:17:24.920><c> our</c><00:17:25.460><c> love</c><00:17:25.920><c> for</c><00:17:27.400><c> the</c><00:17:27.700><c> Ecclesia,</c><00:17:28.180><c> right?</c>

00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:31.779
There<00:17:28.440><c> are</c><00:17:28.539><c> many</c><00:17:29.259><c> jobs</c><00:17:30.000><c> that</c><00:17:30.299><c> need</c><00:17:30.460><c> to</c><00:17:30.599><c> be</c><00:17:30.759><c> done</c><00:17:30.920><c> within</c><00:17:31.160><c> the</c><00:17:31.420><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.019
Not<00:17:34.640><c> forsaking</c><00:17:35.140><c> the</c><00:17:35.400><c> assembly</c><00:17:35.779><c> of</c><00:17:36.039><c> ourselves</c><00:17:36.500><c> together,</c>

00:18:51.859 --> 00:18:56.119
Now,<00:18:52.160><c> this</c><00:18:52.160><c> isn't</c><00:18:53.660><c> in</c><00:18:54.359><c> any</c><00:18:54.700><c> order</c><00:18:55.000><c> of</c><00:18:55.420><c> importance,</c><00:18:56.019><c> right?</c>

00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:57.420
They're<00:18:56.359><c> all</c><00:18:56.539><c> important</c><00:18:56.980><c> jobs,</c>

00:18:57.500 --> 00:19:00.880
but<00:18:58.000><c> if</c><00:18:59.119><c> we</c><00:18:59.240><c> had</c><00:18:59.359><c> to</c><00:18:59.519><c> pick</c><00:18:59.619><c> one</c><00:18:59.819><c> at</c><00:19:00.000><c> the</c><00:19:00.160><c> top,</c><00:19:00.319><c> this</c><00:19:00.480><c> might</c><00:19:00.680><c> be</c>

00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:02.019
it,<00:19:01.779><c> right?</c>

00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:05.180
We're<00:19:02.319><c> preparing</c><00:19:02.920><c> the</c><00:19:03.700><c> next</c><00:19:03.980><c> generation.</c>

Praying<00:19:07.640><c> for</c><00:19:07.819><c> those</c><00:19:08.099><c> in</c><00:19:08.359><c> need,</c><00:19:08.519><c> right?</c>

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.629
It's<00:19:09.019><c> easy</c><00:19:09.559><c> to</c><00:19:09.839><c> pray,</c><00:19:10.680><c> isn't</c><00:19:10.859><c> it?</c>

00:19:13.259 --> 00:19:14.880
And<00:19:13.519><c> when</c><00:19:13.660><c> we</c><00:19:13.859><c> pray</c><00:19:14.079><c> for</c><00:19:14.380><c> others,</c><00:19:14.720><c> right?</c>

00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.339
We're<00:19:15.000><c> keeping</c><00:19:15.319><c> our</c><00:19:15.599><c> brothers</c><00:19:15.799><c> and</c><00:19:16.140><c> sisters</c><00:19:16.500><c> in</c><00:19:16.740><c> our</c><00:19:16.940><c> minds,</c><00:19:18.000><c> right?</c>

00:19:18.339 --> 00:19:20.940
So<00:19:18.519><c> we</c><00:19:18.599><c> have</c><00:19:18.779><c> to</c><00:19:18.960><c> specifically</c><00:19:20.019><c> point</c><00:19:20.799><c> out,</c>

Introduce<00:19:36.259><c> ourselves.</c>

00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.320
That's<00:19:37.039><c> not</c><00:19:37.180><c> one</c><00:19:37.440><c> person's</c><00:19:37.920><c> job,</c><00:19:39.140><c> it's</c><00:19:39.460><c> everyone's</c><00:19:39.859><c> job.</c>

00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.180
And<00:19:50.519><c> then</c><00:19:50.660><c> this</c><00:19:50.839><c> one</c><00:19:51.000><c> I've</c><00:19:51.220><c> dubbed</c><00:19:51.380><c> the</c><00:19:51.700><c> Mountain</c><00:19:52.019><c> Mole</c><00:19:52.380><c> Hill,</c><00:19:52.799><c> right?</c>

00:19:53.180 --> 00:19:56.619
When<00:19:53.299><c> there's</c><00:19:53.559><c> a</c><00:19:53.680><c> little</c><00:19:53.940><c> problem</c><00:19:54.839><c> with</c><00:19:55.359><c> a</c><00:19:55.539><c> brother</c><00:19:55.740><c> or</c><00:19:55.900><c> sister,</c>

00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:58.900
you<00:19:57.460><c> know,</c><00:19:57.460><c> you</c><00:19:57.599><c> feel</c><00:19:57.900><c> slighted</c><00:19:58.380><c> or</c><00:19:58.559><c> offended.</c>

00:19:59.140 --> 00:20:00.940
You<00:19:59.160><c> know,</c><00:19:59.339><c> sometimes</c><00:19:59.759><c> there</c><00:19:59.960><c> are</c><00:20:00.160><c> legit</c><00:20:00.480><c> problems</c>

00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:02.160
that<00:20:01.160><c> have</c><00:20:01.319><c> to</c><00:20:01.480><c> be</c><00:20:01.720><c> addressed,</c>

00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:05.559
and<00:20:02.700><c> sometimes</c><00:20:03.099><c> you</c><00:20:03.319><c> feel</c><00:20:03.680><c> slighted</c><00:20:04.420><c> or</c><00:20:04.700><c> you</c><00:20:04.839><c> feel</c><00:20:05.160><c> offended,</c>

00:20:05.619 --> 00:20:06.980
but<00:20:05.839><c> they</c><00:20:06.099><c> never</c><00:20:06.359><c> meant</c><00:20:06.559><c> it.</c>

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:09.160
You<00:20:07.420><c> just</c><00:20:07.799><c> read</c><00:20:07.920><c> it</c><00:20:08.259><c> wrong,</c><00:20:08.779><c> right?</c>

00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.140
So<00:20:09.740><c> we've</c><00:20:10.079><c> got</c><00:20:10.099><c> to</c><00:20:10.259><c> quickly</c><00:20:10.539><c> move</c><00:20:10.839><c> on</c><00:20:11.240><c> from</c><00:20:11.440><c> that</c><00:20:11.720><c> type</c><00:20:11.900><c> of</c><00:20:12.039><c> stuff.</c>

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:14.519
That<00:20:12.359><c> type</c><00:20:12.579><c> of</c><00:20:12.740><c> stuff</c><00:20:12.880><c> happens</c><00:20:13.279><c> in</c><00:20:13.559><c> families.</c>

00:20:14.879 --> 00:20:16.259
It's<00:20:15.319><c> personalities.</c>

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:19.500
So<00:20:17.259><c> we</c><00:20:17.339><c> don't</c><00:20:17.500><c> want</c><00:20:17.619><c> to</c><00:20:17.740><c> make</c><00:20:17.880><c> a</c><00:20:18.059><c> mountain</c><00:20:18.400><c> out</c><00:20:18.720><c> of</c><00:20:18.920><c> a</c><00:20:19.039><c> molehill.</c>

We<00:20:20.920><c> all</c><00:20:21.140><c> understand</c><00:20:22.240><c> how</c><00:20:23.299><c> the</c><00:20:23.579><c> flesh</c><00:20:23.799><c> operates.</c>

00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:29.240
The<00:20:28.319><c> writer</c><00:20:28.539><c> of</c><00:20:28.700><c> the</c><00:20:28.859><c> Hebrew</c><00:20:29.019><c> says,</c>

00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.480
we're<00:20:29.599><c> foreseeing</c><00:20:30.599><c> we</c><00:20:31.019><c> are</c><00:20:31.380><c> also</c><00:20:32.180><c> compassed</c><00:20:33.140><c> about</c>

00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:38.119
Let<00:20:35.920><c> us</c><00:20:36.920><c> lay</c><00:20:37.200><c> aside</c><00:20:37.480><c> every</c><00:20:37.880><c> weight</c>

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.960
the<00:20:45.059><c> race</c><00:20:45.460><c> that</c><00:20:45.920><c> is</c><00:20:46.220><c> set</c><00:20:46.400><c> before</c><00:20:46.839><c> us,</c><00:20:47.119><c> us,</c><00:20:47.640><c> right?</c>

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:49.720
We're<00:20:48.259><c> running</c><00:20:48.640><c> this</c><00:20:48.940><c> race</c><00:20:49.200><c> together.</c>

00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:53.960
We're<00:20:50.460><c> trying</c><00:20:50.700><c> to</c><00:20:50.799><c> get</c><00:20:50.920><c> all</c><00:20:51.299><c> of</c><00:20:51.440><c> us</c><00:20:51.660><c> across</c><00:20:52.099><c> that</c><00:20:52.559><c> finish</c><00:20:52.880><c> line</c>

00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.200
Sometimes<00:20:57.279><c> we</c><00:20:57.539><c> focus</c><00:20:57.900><c> so</c><00:20:58.200><c> much</c><00:20:58.380><c> on</c><00:20:58.579><c> the</c><00:20:58.839><c> sin,</c>

00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:07.920

00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.779
They<00:21:22.640><c> were</c><00:21:22.779><c> struggling</c><00:21:23.119><c> with</c><00:21:23.400><c> the</c><00:21:23.579><c> nature</c><00:21:24.039><c> of</c><00:21:24.700><c> Christ.</c>

00:21:27.099 --> 00:21:29.880
Hereby<00:21:27.559><c> we</c><00:21:27.819><c> know</c><00:21:28.579><c> ye</c><00:21:28.960><c> the</c><00:21:29.140><c> spirit</c><00:21:29.480><c> of</c><00:21:29.700><c> God.</c>

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:31.640
Every<00:21:30.319><c> spirit</c><00:21:30.740><c> that</c><00:21:31.039><c> confesses</c>

00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:34.940

00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.140
The<00:21:37.700><c> Gnostics</c><00:21:38.119><c> were</c><00:21:38.339><c> promoting</c><00:21:38.779><c> Christ</c><00:21:39.279><c> to</c><00:21:39.460><c> be</c><00:21:39.640><c> a</c><00:21:39.859><c> spirit,</c>

00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:45.200
Every<00:21:43.700><c> spirit</c><00:21:44.019><c> that</c><00:21:44.259><c> confesses</c><00:21:44.900><c> not</c>

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.160
that<00:21:45.480><c> Jesus</c><00:21:45.839><c> came</c><00:21:46.119><c> in</c><00:21:46.259><c> the</c><00:21:46.460><c> flesh</c><00:21:46.579><c> is</c><00:21:46.779><c> not</c><00:21:46.960><c> of</c><00:21:47.160><c> God,</c>

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:51.119

00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:54.000
In<00:21:52.099><c> this</c><00:21:52.380><c> particular</c><00:21:53.180><c> example,</c>

00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:58.180
anyone<00:21:54.579><c> who</c><00:21:54.859><c> is</c><00:21:55.079><c> anti</c><00:21:55.400><c>-Christ</c><00:21:55.640><c> is</c><00:21:56.019><c> denying</c><00:21:56.420><c> the</c><00:21:56.799><c> humanity</c><00:21:57.299><c> of</c><00:21:57.900><c> Christ,</c>

00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:01.960
thus,<00:21:58.480><c> of</c><00:21:58.640><c> course,</c><00:21:59.579><c> challenging</c><00:21:59.940><c> the</c><00:22:00.380><c> work</c><00:22:00.539><c> of</c><00:22:00.759><c> the</c><00:22:00.940><c> atonement.</c>

00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:05.799
He's<00:22:03.519><c> pretty</c><00:22:03.839><c> straightforward,</c><00:22:04.400><c> isn't</c><00:22:04.660><c> he?</c>

00:22:06.900 --> 00:22:08.619
He<00:22:07.099><c> says,</c><00:22:07.599><c> they</c><00:22:07.599><c> are</c><00:22:07.880><c> of</c><00:22:08.059><c> the</c><00:22:08.339><c> world,</c>

00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.599
therefore<00:22:09.000><c> they</c><00:22:09.339><c> speak</c><00:22:09.619><c> of</c><00:22:09.779><c> the</c><00:22:10.059><c> world,</c>

00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:12.119

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:15.519
That's<00:22:12.440><c> those</c><00:22:12.720><c> who</c><00:22:12.900><c> had</c><00:22:13.160><c> left</c><00:22:13.420><c> the</c><00:22:13.680><c> Ecclesia,</c><00:22:15.279><c> right?</c>

00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.339
False<00:22:15.960><c> religions,</c><00:22:16.619><c> false</c><00:22:17.039><c> doctrines</c><00:22:17.799><c> of</c><00:22:18.900><c> the</c><00:22:19.200><c> world.</c>

00:22:19.380 --> 00:22:23.019
They<00:22:19.619><c> appeal</c><00:22:20.019><c> to</c><00:22:20.259><c> the</c><00:22:20.480><c> lust</c><00:22:20.880><c> and</c><00:22:21.680><c> to</c><00:22:21.859><c> the</c><00:22:22.119><c> pride</c><00:22:22.359><c> of</c><00:22:22.599><c> the</c><00:22:22.839><c> flesh.</c>

00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:25.640
Thus<00:22:23.440><c> they</c><00:22:23.859><c> draw</c><00:22:24.279><c> in</c><00:22:24.579><c> the</c><00:22:24.740><c> masses.</c>

00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:28.859
Why<00:22:26.000><c> are</c><00:22:26.200><c> there</c><00:22:26.359><c> so</c><00:22:26.740><c> many</c><00:22:27.700><c> Catholics?</c>

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:31.319
Why<00:22:29.279><c> are</c><00:22:29.440><c> there</c><00:22:29.559><c> so</c><00:22:29.740><c> many</c><00:22:29.920><c> other</c><00:22:30.240><c> Christian</c><00:22:30.579><c> faiths?</c>

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:34.000
Christ<00:22:31.700><c> of</c><00:22:31.859><c> Elphans</c><00:22:32.099><c> is</c><00:22:32.240><c> such</c><00:22:32.420><c> a</c><00:22:32.480><c> small</c><00:22:32.819><c> community,</c>

00:22:34.819 --> 00:22:37.019
because<00:22:35.299><c> they</c><00:22:35.420><c> don't</c><00:22:35.640><c> have</c><00:22:35.839><c> the</c><00:22:36.059><c> commitments</c><00:22:36.400><c> that</c><00:22:36.660><c> we</c><00:22:36.900><c> have,</c>

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:39.059
the<00:22:37.339><c> responsibilities</c><00:22:38.140><c> to</c><00:22:38.480><c> the</c><00:22:38.720><c> truth.</c>

00:22:39.299 --> 00:22:40.980
That<00:22:39.519><c> drives</c><00:22:39.799><c> them</c><00:22:40.079><c> away.</c>

00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:43.059
But<00:22:42.079><c> when</c><00:22:42.240><c> you</c><00:22:42.420><c> appeal,</c>

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:45.140
when<00:22:43.460><c> the</c><00:22:43.720><c> doctrines</c><00:22:44.039><c> appeal</c><00:22:44.440><c> to</c><00:22:44.660><c> the</c><00:22:44.940><c> flesh,</c>

00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:47.319
it<00:22:45.380><c> draws</c><00:22:45.839><c> in</c><00:22:46.319><c> the</c><00:22:46.519><c> people.</c>

00:22:51.740 --> 00:22:55.680
We<00:22:52.220><c> are</c><00:22:52.420><c> of</c><00:22:52.619><c> God,</c><00:22:53.099><c> he</c><00:22:53.299><c> that</c><00:22:53.579><c> knoweth</c><00:22:53.900><c> God,</c><00:22:54.460><c> heareth</c><00:22:54.619><c> us.</c>

00:22:55.740 --> 00:22:58.380
He<00:22:56.039><c> that</c><00:22:56.279><c> is</c><00:22:56.599><c> not</c><00:22:56.759><c> of</c><00:22:56.940><c> God,</c><00:22:57.500><c> heareth</c><00:22:57.700><c> not</c><00:22:58.039><c> us.</c>

00:22:58.380 --> 00:23:01.579
Again,<00:22:58.819><c> he's</c><00:22:59.079><c> talking</c><00:22:59.440><c> about</c><00:22:59.819><c> the</c><00:23:00.059><c> apostle's</c><00:23:00.740><c> doctrine.</c>

00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:05.460
Hereby<00:23:01.940><c> we</c><00:23:02.039><c> know</c><00:23:02.220><c> the</c><00:23:02.559><c> spirit</c><00:23:02.859><c> of</c><00:23:03.160><c> truth</c><00:23:03.460><c> and</c><00:23:03.880><c> the</c><00:23:04.200><c> spirit</c><00:23:04.500><c> of</c><00:23:05.240><c> error.</c>

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:08.180
The<00:23:05.960><c> apostles</c><00:23:06.339><c> were</c><00:23:06.599><c> given</c><00:23:06.859><c> the</c><00:23:07.180><c> authority</c><00:23:07.519><c> by</c><00:23:07.839><c> Christ.</c>

00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.059
The<00:23:08.440><c> people</c><00:23:08.700><c> knew</c><00:23:09.319><c> by</c><00:23:10.400><c> the</c><00:23:10.660><c> miracles</c>

00:23:18.040 --> 00:23:19.940
And<00:23:18.640><c> we</c><00:23:18.759><c> have</c><00:23:18.960><c> seen</c><00:23:19.160><c> and</c><00:23:19.299><c> do</c><00:23:19.480><c> testify</c>

Whosoever<00:23:25.599><c> shall</c><00:23:25.859><c> confess</c><00:23:26.380><c> Jesus</c><00:23:26.859><c> is</c><00:23:27.180><c> the</c><00:23:27.440><c> son</c><00:23:27.619><c> of</c><00:23:27.859><c> God,</c>

00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:41.119
We<00:23:39.059><c> have</c><00:23:39.299><c> said</c><00:23:39.480><c> that's</c><00:23:39.980><c> the</c><00:23:40.160><c> one</c><00:23:40.339><c> we're</c><00:23:40.579><c> gonna</c><00:23:40.759><c> follow.</c>

We'll<00:23:41.559><c> follow</c><00:23:41.880><c> his</c><00:23:42.220><c> teachings.</c>

00:23:46.460 --> 00:23:47.839
And<00:23:46.900><c> then</c><00:23:47.000><c> there</c><00:23:47.119><c> was</c><00:23:47.299><c> this</c><00:23:47.559><c> man,</c>

00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:50.359
Serenthus,<00:23:48.579><c> a</c><00:23:48.700><c> brother</c><00:23:48.900><c> in</c><00:23:49.079><c> Christ.</c>

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:54.660

00:23:55.059 --> 00:23:57.920
He<00:23:55.180><c> was</c><00:23:55.380><c> an</c><00:23:55.579><c> opponent</c><00:23:55.960><c> of</c><00:23:56.200><c> John,</c><00:23:56.960><c> according</c><00:23:57.200><c> to</c><00:23:57.640><c> tradition.</c>

00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.400

00:35:16.380 --> 00:35:19.539
Jesus<00:35:16.800><c> is</c><00:35:17.320><c> the</c><00:35:17.519><c> son</c><00:35:17.679><c> of</c><00:35:17.940><c> God,</c><00:35:18.179><c> this</c><00:35:18.400><c> we</c><00:35:18.639><c> know.</c>

00:35:41.519 --> 00:35:44.639
And<00:35:41.840><c> one</c><00:35:41.980><c> of</c><00:35:42.079><c> those</c><00:35:42.300><c> is</c><00:35:42.460><c> to</c><00:35:42.760><c> love</c><00:35:43.440><c> one</c><00:35:43.760><c> another.</c>

00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:19.980
