00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:04.120

00:02:10.900 --> 00:02:17.120
Now,<00:02:11.900><c> if</c><00:02:12.039><c> leadership</c><00:02:13.159><c> is</c><00:02:13.759><c> confusing,</c><00:02:14.639><c> what</c><00:02:14.900><c> of</c><00:02:15.240><c> spiritual</c><00:02:15.939><c> leadership?</c>

00:02:34.580 --> 00:02:36.560
just<00:02:34.960><c> way</c><00:02:35.280><c> out</c><00:02:35.639><c> there.</c>

00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:44.360
And<00:03:40.719><c> I</c><00:03:40.780><c> thought,</c><00:03:40.960><c> even</c><00:03:41.439><c> better,</c><00:03:41.879><c> because</c><00:03:42.120><c> I</c><00:03:42.219><c> can</c><00:03:42.419><c> get</c><00:03:42.699><c> my</c><00:03:43.800><c> mind</c>

00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.180
I<00:03:51.000><c> thought,</c><00:03:51.379><c> this</c><00:03:51.680><c> is</c><00:03:51.860><c> really</c><00:03:52.039><c> where</c>

00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:52.960

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:00.539
Resourcefulness.

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.819
If<00:06:10.019><c> you</c><00:06:10.439><c> don't</c><00:06:10.779><c> have</c><00:06:11.100><c> humility,</c><00:06:11.980><c> then</c><00:06:12.240><c> you</c><00:06:12.740><c> cannot</c><00:06:13.220><c> be</c><00:06:13.680><c> a</c><00:06:13.860><c> leader,</c><00:06:14.300><c> and</c>

00:06:14.819 --> 00:06:16.199
certainly<00:06:15.180><c> not</c><00:06:15.480><c> in</c><00:06:15.699><c> the</c><00:06:15.879><c> ecclesia</c>

00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:17.240
of<00:06:16.399><c> God.</c>

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.720
I<00:06:17.819><c> want</c><00:06:18.079><c> to</c><00:06:18.300><c> prove</c><00:06:18.480><c> that</c><00:06:18.779><c> to</c><00:06:19.100><c> you</c><00:06:19.420><c> in</c><00:06:19.819><c> a</c><00:06:20.139><c> secular</c><00:06:20.560><c> sense</c><00:06:20.980><c> as</c><00:06:21.439><c> well</c><00:06:21.600><c> as</c>

00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:22.620
in<00:06:21.819><c> a</c><00:06:22.000><c> spiritual</c><00:06:22.339><c> sense.</c>

00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:27.300
Let<00:06:22.939><c> me</c><00:06:23.420><c> go</c><00:06:23.620><c> to</c><00:06:23.819><c> the</c><00:06:23.980><c> secular</c><00:06:24.220><c> one</c><00:06:24.500><c> first,</c><00:06:24.920><c> because</c><00:06:25.220><c> I</c><00:06:25.399><c> love</c><00:06:25.540><c> this</c><00:06:25.819><c> story</c><00:06:26.040><c> as</c><00:06:26.339><c> well.</c>

00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:28.939
This<00:06:27.660><c> is</c><00:06:27.879><c> a</c><00:06:27.959><c> true</c><00:06:28.120><c> story.</c>

00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.660
Look<00:06:29.560><c> it</c><00:06:29.680><c> up</c><00:06:29.800><c> on</c><00:06:29.939><c> the</c><00:06:30.100><c> Harvard</c><00:06:30.319><c> Business</c><00:06:30.800><c> Review.</c>

00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.560
Oh,<00:06:32.319><c> I</c><00:06:32.399><c> think</c><00:06:32.560><c> it</c><00:06:32.639><c> was</c><00:06:32.759><c> about</c><00:06:33.040><c> seven</c><00:06:33.600><c> years</c><00:06:34.000><c> ago</c><00:06:34.279><c> now.</c>

00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.620
There<00:06:34.740><c> was</c><00:06:35.019><c> a</c><00:06:35.500><c> paper</c><00:06:35.740><c> that</c><00:06:35.920><c> was</c><00:06:36.120><c> written</c><00:06:36.379><c> in</c><00:06:37.019><c> the</c><00:06:37.180><c> Harvard</c><00:06:37.420><c> Business</c><00:06:37.860><c> Review,</c><00:06:38.560><c> and</c>

00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:40.160
there<00:06:38.759><c> was</c><00:06:38.939><c> a</c><00:06:39.199><c> study</c>

00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:42.660
on<00:06:41.660><c> leaders.</c>

00:06:44.220 --> 00:06:46.220
It's<00:06:44.540><c> a</c><00:06:44.639><c> famous</c><00:06:44.959><c> study.</c>

00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:53.000
And<00:06:47.839><c> what</c><00:06:48.079><c> they</c><00:06:48.379><c> said</c><00:06:48.500><c> is,</c><00:06:48.939><c> we</c><00:06:48.939><c> can't</c><00:06:49.540><c> define</c><00:06:50.339><c> leaders</c><00:06:51.040><c> or</c><00:06:51.699><c> leadership</c><00:06:52.220><c> at</c><00:06:52.620><c> all.</c>

00:06:53.379 --> 00:06:55.060
I<00:06:53.579><c> thought,</c><00:06:53.779><c> good</c><00:06:54.019><c> on</c><00:06:54.220><c> you.</c>

00:06:56.019 --> 00:06:58.079
So<00:06:56.180><c> there</c><00:06:56.300><c> was</c><00:06:56.459><c> no</c><00:06:56.740><c> pretense</c><00:06:57.220><c> about</c><00:06:57.519><c> this</c><00:06:57.860><c> study.</c>

00:06:58.240 --> 00:06:59.879
We<00:06:58.500><c> can't</c><00:06:58.980><c> define</c><00:06:59.560><c> it.</c>

00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.839
So<00:07:00.540><c> what</c><00:07:00.980><c> we</c><00:07:01.399><c> did</c><00:07:01.699><c> is</c><00:07:02.079><c> we</c><00:07:02.360><c> worked</c><00:07:02.680><c> backwards.</c>

00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.439
Let's<00:07:06.060><c> look,</c><00:07:06.319><c> being</c><00:07:06.519><c> the</c><00:07:06.740><c> Harvard</c><00:07:06.920><c> Business</c><00:07:07.339><c> Review,</c><00:07:07.939><c> let's</c>

00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.480
look<00:07:08.839><c> at</c><00:07:09.180><c> the</c><00:07:09.540><c> top</c><00:07:09.980><c> businesses</c><00:07:10.920><c> across</c><00:07:12.040><c> the</c>

00:07:20.500 --> 00:07:28.459
And<00:07:21.180><c> let's</c><00:07:21.860><c> put</c><00:07:22.220><c> very</c><00:07:23.399><c> stringent</c><00:07:25.259><c> sort</c><00:07:25.600><c> of</c><00:07:25.939><c> filter</c><00:07:26.560><c> upon</c><00:07:28.079><c> what</c>

00:07:28.459 --> 00:07:30.759
we<00:07:28.699><c> would</c><00:07:28.959><c> call</c><00:07:29.379><c> successful</c><00:07:30.420><c> performance</c>

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:31.920
in<00:07:31.399><c> business.</c>

00:07:32.379 --> 00:07:34.879
And<00:07:32.579><c> they</c><00:07:32.680><c> went</c><00:07:32.839><c> across</c><00:07:33.120><c> all</c><00:07:33.639><c> of</c><00:07:33.759><c> the</c><00:07:33.959><c> businesses</c><00:07:34.220><c> across</c><00:07:34.660><c> the</c>

00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.860
and<00:07:37.560><c> they</c><00:07:37.839><c> picked</c><00:07:38.000><c> out</c><00:07:38.379><c> five</c><00:07:39.620><c> businesses.</c>

00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.660
None<00:07:42.399><c> of</c><00:07:42.680><c> them</c><00:07:42.939><c> you</c><00:07:43.160><c> would</c><00:07:43.439><c> know</c><00:07:43.720><c> about.</c>

00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:50.600
General<00:07:46.180><c> Electric</c><00:07:46.620><c> and</c><00:07:46.920><c> Jack</c><00:07:47.220><c> Welch</c><00:07:47.699><c> didn't</c><00:07:48.139><c> even</c><00:07:48.860><c> make</c><00:07:49.399><c> the</c><00:07:49.779><c> cut.</c>

00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.620
Didn't<00:07:51.220><c> even</c><00:07:51.500><c> get</c><00:07:52.000><c> near</c><00:07:52.379><c> to</c><00:07:52.639><c> the</c><00:07:52.839><c> cut.</c>

00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:59.959
There<00:07:54.339><c> were</c><00:07:54.720><c> five</c><00:07:55.779><c> businesses,</c><00:07:58.379><c> and</c><00:07:58.620><c> you</c><00:07:58.819><c> know</c><00:07:59.079><c> what?</c>

00:08:00.660 --> 00:08:04.100
They<00:08:01.079><c> all</c><00:08:01.860><c> had</c><00:08:02.240><c> the</c><00:08:02.680><c> same</c><00:08:03.100><c> chief</c><00:08:03.420><c> executive.</c>

00:08:04.100 --> 00:08:09.459
Not<00:08:05.220><c> literally,</c><00:08:06.300><c> but</c><00:08:06.459><c> if</c><00:08:06.600><c> you</c><00:08:06.819><c> wanted</c><00:08:06.980><c> a</c><00:08:07.360><c> personality</c><00:08:07.839><c> profile,</c><00:08:09.220><c> they</c>

00:08:09.459 --> 00:08:11.939
were<00:08:09.839><c> all</c><00:08:10.279><c> the</c><00:08:10.519><c> same</c><00:08:10.819><c> person.</c>

00:08:12.420 --> 00:08:14.939
And<00:08:12.759><c> they</c><00:08:12.920><c> thought,</c><00:08:13.319><c> this</c><00:08:13.639><c> is</c><00:08:14.000><c> weird.</c>

00:08:15.899 --> 00:08:17.500
It's<00:08:16.519><c> been</c><00:08:16.699><c> a</c><00:08:16.980><c> blind</c><00:08:17.279><c> test.</c>

00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:21.839
We've<00:08:17.800><c> not</c><00:08:18.019><c> endeavoured</c><00:08:18.699><c> to</c><00:08:19.379><c> have</c><00:08:19.560><c> a</c><00:08:19.879><c> bias</c><00:08:20.699><c> upon</c><00:08:21.439><c> this.</c>

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.500
And<00:08:22.560><c> they</c><00:08:22.720><c> went</c><00:08:22.899><c> and</c><00:08:23.339><c> interviewed</c><00:08:23.740><c> these</c><00:08:24.100><c> five,</c><00:08:24.199><c> and</c><00:08:24.399><c> they</c>

00:08:24.500 --> 00:08:27.360
were<00:08:24.759><c> all</c><00:08:25.160><c> the</c><00:08:25.439><c> same</c><00:08:26.079><c> personalities.</c>

00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:29.019
And<00:08:27.920><c> you</c><00:08:28.060><c> want</c><00:08:28.220><c> to</c><00:08:28.379><c> know</c><00:08:28.560><c> something?</c>

00:08:29.019 --> 00:08:33.340
They<00:08:30.040><c> were</c><00:08:30.360><c> counterintuitive</c><00:08:31.740><c> to</c><00:08:32.299><c> everything</c><00:08:32.840><c> we've</c><00:08:33.139><c> said</c>

00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:35.480
thus<00:08:33.720><c> far</c><00:08:33.919><c> about</c><00:08:34.200><c> leadership.</c>

00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.299
Except<00:08:36.340><c> for</c><00:08:36.779><c> one</c><00:08:37.059><c> attribute.</c>

00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:42.519
Humility.

00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:47.360
I'll<00:08:46.299><c> tell</c><00:08:46.360><c> you</c><00:08:46.440><c> something.</c>

00:08:48.139 --> 00:08:49.940
I<00:08:48.440><c> find</c><00:08:48.639><c> this</c><00:08:48.840><c> amazing.</c>

00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:56.179
They<00:08:51.100><c> were</c><00:08:51.539><c> all</c><00:08:52.840><c> heavily</c><00:08:54.240><c> introverted.</c>

00:08:59.019 --> 00:09:00.919
Can<00:08:59.320><c> you</c><00:08:59.559><c> believe</c><00:08:59.919><c> that?</c>

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:04.860
They<00:09:01.580><c> were</c><00:09:01.899><c> all</c><00:09:02.419><c> seriously</c><00:09:03.340><c> introverted.</c>

00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.100
They<00:09:06.059><c> had</c><00:09:06.440><c> difficulty</c><00:09:07.460><c> socialising.</c>

00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:15.700
They<00:09:10.940><c> were</c><00:09:11.240><c> absolutely</c><00:09:11.940><c> focused</c><00:09:12.960><c> on</c><00:09:14.480><c> the</c><00:09:14.720><c> problems</c><00:09:15.179><c> and</c><00:09:15.360><c> the</c>

00:09:15.700 --> 00:09:17.799

00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:22.539
But<00:09:18.179><c> they</c><00:09:18.419><c> were</c><00:09:18.799><c> extraordinarily,</c><00:09:20.159><c> and</c><00:09:20.360><c> I</c><00:09:20.580><c> mean</c><00:09:20.860><c> extraordinarily</c><00:09:21.899><c> humble.</c>

00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:23.840
All<00:09:23.279><c> of</c><00:09:23.460><c> them.</c>

00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:28.440

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:52.160
is<00:24:47.720><c> one</c><00:24:47.920><c> of</c><00:24:48.019><c> the</c><00:24:48.079><c> most</c><00:24:48.420><c> elusive</c><00:24:49.119><c> concepts</c><00:24:49.880><c> in</c><00:24:50.900><c> human</c><00:24:51.220><c> thinking.</c>

00:24:54.099 --> 00:24:55.160
Why?

00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:01.279
Because<00:24:57.539><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:24:58.460><c> 4,</c><00:24:59.059><c> verse</c><00:24:59.460><c> 4,</c><00:24:59.839><c> says</c><00:25:00.079><c> a</c><00:25:00.240><c> man</c><00:25:00.500><c> without</c><00:25:00.859><c> God</c>

00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:14.619
That<00:25:09.440><c> which</c><00:25:09.660><c> is</c><00:25:09.900><c> under</c><00:25:10.279><c> the</c><00:25:10.599><c> sun</c><00:25:11.019><c> is</c><00:25:12.599><c> not</c><00:25:12.859><c> built</c><00:25:13.079><c> on</c><00:25:13.500><c> service</c><00:25:13.839><c> as</c><00:25:14.319><c> a</c>

00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:19.039
Oh,<00:25:16.619><c> there</c><00:25:16.779><c> might</c><00:25:17.000><c> be</c><00:25:17.240><c> people</c><00:25:17.519><c> who</c><00:25:17.839><c> demonstrate</c><00:25:18.279><c> a</c><00:25:18.460><c> bit</c><00:25:18.559><c> of</c><00:25:18.819><c> service,</c>

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:26.099
it's<00:25:24.920><c> this.</c>

00:25:26.619 --> 00:25:32.119
Every<00:25:26.880><c> labour</c><00:25:27.400><c> and</c><00:25:28.140><c> every</c><00:25:28.880><c> skill</c><00:25:29.319><c> is</c><00:25:29.880><c> the</c><00:25:30.119><c> result</c><00:25:30.700><c> of</c><00:25:31.539><c> rivalry</c>

00:25:43.299 --> 00:25:45.440
That's<00:25:43.619><c> why</c><00:25:43.859><c> this</c><00:25:44.200><c> world's</c><00:25:44.579><c> in</c><00:25:44.619><c> this</c><00:25:44.839><c> horrible</c><00:25:45.180><c> mess,</c>

share<00:25:49.559><c> markets,</c>

00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:53.420
because<00:25:51.000><c> it's</c><00:25:51.359><c> all</c><00:25:51.640><c> built</c><00:25:51.940><c> on</c><00:25:52.240><c> that.</c>

00:26:05.619 --> 00:26:07.960
Do<00:26:05.819><c> they</c><00:26:06.200><c> naturally</c><00:26:06.859><c> serve</c><00:26:07.420><c> one</c><00:26:07.720><c> another?</c>

00:26:08.099 --> 00:26:09.940
Oh,<00:26:08.319><c> look,</c><00:26:08.539><c> you</c><00:26:08.720><c> haven't</c><00:26:08.900><c> had</c><00:26:08.980><c> my</c><00:26:09.319><c> toy</c><00:26:09.480><c> for</c><00:26:09.599><c> a</c><00:26:09.660><c> little</c><00:26:09.819><c> while.</c>

00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:10.740
I<00:26:10.079><c> really</c><00:26:10.319><c> like</c><00:26:10.519><c> it.</c>

00:26:10.859 --> 00:26:12.019
Do<00:26:11.079><c> you</c><00:26:11.319><c> see</c><00:26:11.519><c> that?</c>

00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:13.559
Of<00:26:12.619><c> course</c><00:26:12.740><c> you</c><00:26:12.920><c> don't.</c>

00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.900
It's<00:26:14.380><c> built</c><00:26:14.660><c> on</c><00:26:15.119><c> rivalry</c><00:26:15.619><c> between</c><00:26:16.039><c> a</c><00:26:16.299><c> man</c><00:26:16.460><c> and</c><00:26:16.579><c> his</c><00:26:16.759><c> neighbour.</c>

00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.619
So<00:26:17.380><c> what</c><00:26:17.700><c> we're</c><00:26:18.000><c> talking</c><00:26:18.380><c> about</c><00:26:18.740><c> then,</c><00:26:19.039><c> brethren</c><00:26:19.220><c> and</c><00:26:19.480><c> sisters,</c>

00:26:19.619 --> 00:26:21.980
is<00:26:20.039><c> simply</c><00:26:20.380><c> this.</c>

00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:28.940
We<00:26:25.319><c> are</c><00:26:25.660><c> going</c><00:26:25.880><c> to</c><00:26:26.339><c> fight</c><00:26:26.660><c> the</c><00:26:27.099><c> flesh</c><00:26:27.420><c> right</c><00:26:27.839><c> across</c><00:26:28.200><c> this</c><00:26:28.480><c> weekend</c>

00:26:32.579 --> 00:26:34.059
natural<00:26:32.940><c> instinct.</c>

00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:48.819
Just<00:26:41.359><c> as</c><00:26:42.279><c> a</c><00:26:45.079><c> demonstration</c><00:26:45.960><c> of</c><00:26:46.160><c> the</c><00:26:46.319><c> way</c><00:26:46.519><c> God</c><00:26:46.839><c> thinks,</c>

00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:05.500
Or<00:27:03.619><c> cop</c><00:27:03.779><c> this.</c>

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:10.859
God<00:27:09.019><c> resists</c><00:27:09.359><c> the</c><00:27:09.599><c> proud.</c>

00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:14.720
In<00:27:12.700><c> fact,</c><00:27:12.720><c> God</c><00:27:12.880><c> says,</c><00:27:13.220><c> I</c><00:27:13.220><c> hate</c><00:27:13.500><c> it.</c>

00:27:16.259 --> 00:27:19.880
I<00:27:16.819><c> hate</c><00:27:17.380><c> pride,</c><00:27:18.640><c> because</c><00:27:18.880><c> it's</c><00:27:19.220><c> idolatry.</c>

00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:21.819
Pride<00:27:20.380><c> is</c><00:27:20.599><c> self</c><00:27:20.880><c>-worship.</c>

00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:28.240
I<00:27:22.500><c> hate</c><00:27:23.000><c> pride,</c><00:27:23.519><c> says</c><00:27:23.599><c> God,</c><00:27:24.599><c> but</c><00:27:24.880><c> I'll</c><00:27:25.200><c> give</c><00:27:25.400><c> grace</c><00:27:26.339><c> to</c><00:27:27.140><c> the</c><00:27:27.299><c> humble.</c>

00:27:31.299 --> 00:27:35.039
In<00:27:31.619><c> fact,</c><00:27:32.259><c> I</c><00:27:32.400><c> want</c><00:27:32.599><c> to</c><00:27:33.180><c> just</c><00:27:33.420><c> ask</c><00:27:33.680><c> this</c><00:27:34.019><c> question.</c>

00:27:36.140 --> 00:27:38.480
I<00:27:36.400><c> think</c><00:27:36.519><c> this</c><00:27:36.680><c> is</c><00:27:36.819><c> an</c><00:27:37.039><c> important</c><00:27:37.240><c> question.</c>

00:27:43.460 --> 00:27:47.559
It's<00:27:43.900><c> okay</c><00:27:44.140><c> to</c><00:27:44.299><c> be</c><00:27:44.539><c> confident,</c><00:27:45.119><c> but</c><00:27:45.359><c> it's</c><00:27:45.579><c> not</c><00:27:45.740><c> okay</c><00:27:46.019><c> to</c><00:27:46.180><c> be</c><00:27:46.400><c> arrogant.</c>

00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:55.059
And<00:27:52.299><c> I</c><00:27:52.640><c> suspect,</c><00:27:53.779><c> brethren</c><00:27:53.880><c> and</c><00:27:54.099><c> sisters,</c><00:27:54.359><c> that</c><00:27:54.559><c> in</c><00:27:54.680><c> our</c><00:27:54.859><c> minds</c>

00:27:55.059 --> 00:27:57.559
there<00:27:55.220><c> is</c><00:27:55.380><c> some</c><00:27:55.640><c> confusion</c><00:27:56.140><c> as</c><00:27:56.400><c> to</c><00:27:56.440><c> what</c><00:27:56.599><c> the</c><00:27:56.859><c> difference</c><00:27:57.099><c> is.</c>

00:27:57.900 --> 00:28:01.099
And<00:27:58.039><c> it's</c><00:27:58.140><c> a</c><00:27:58.180><c> very</c><00:27:58.539><c> important</c><00:27:58.960><c> distinction</c><00:27:59.420><c> that</c><00:27:59.579><c> we</c><00:27:59.740><c> need</c><00:27:59.880><c> to</c><00:28:00.119><c> make.</c>

00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:08.839
When<00:28:03.500><c> do</c><00:28:03.720><c> we</c><00:28:03.960><c> cross</c><00:28:04.339><c> the</c><00:28:04.680><c> line</c><00:28:05.220><c> from</c><00:28:06.339><c> confidence</c>

00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:12.819
into<00:28:09.900><c> something</c><00:28:10.299><c> that</c><00:28:10.480><c> God</c><00:28:10.720><c> hates,</c><00:28:11.279><c> which</c><00:28:11.519><c> is</c><00:28:11.799><c> arrogance?</c>

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:16.539
You<00:28:14.660><c> ever</c><00:28:14.779><c> thought</c><00:28:14.940><c> about</c><00:28:15.200><c> that?</c>

00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:24.720
Okay,<00:28:23.059><c> here's</c><00:28:23.380><c> a</c><00:28:23.519><c> suggestion.</c>

00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:31.980
Let's<00:28:28.839><c> describe</c><00:28:29.480><c> very</c><00:28:29.920><c> simply</c><00:28:30.559><c> with</c><00:28:31.160><c> two</c><00:28:31.440><c> attributes,</c>

00:28:32.059 --> 00:28:33.900
because<00:28:32.380><c> we're</c><00:28:32.539><c> not</c><00:28:32.640><c> going</c><00:28:32.779><c> to</c><00:28:32.960><c> define,</c><00:28:33.460><c> we're</c><00:28:33.519><c> just</c><00:28:33.720><c> going</c>

00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:35.500
to<00:28:34.059><c> give</c><00:28:34.240><c> attributes</c>

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:38.480
of<00:28:36.440><c> what</c><00:28:36.660><c> arrogance</c><00:28:36.980><c> is</c><00:28:37.180><c> all</c><00:28:37.420><c> about.</c>

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:46.079
You<00:28:42.019><c> know</c><00:28:42.299><c> when</c><00:28:42.460><c> you've</c><00:28:42.839><c> overstepped</c><00:28:43.480><c> the</c><00:28:43.759><c> mark</c><00:28:44.000><c> from</c><00:28:44.440><c> confidence</c><00:28:45.180><c> into</c><00:28:45.640><c> arrogance</c>

00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:49.200
and<00:28:46.400><c> therefore</c><00:28:46.759><c> broken</c><00:28:47.099><c> a</c><00:28:47.339><c> relationship</c><00:28:47.779><c> with</c><00:28:47.980><c> your</c><00:28:48.119><c> Heavenly</c><00:28:48.400><c> Father</c>

00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:51.559
when<00:28:50.259><c> this</c><00:28:50.539><c> happens.</c>

00:28:57.900 --> 00:29:03.059
Arrogant<00:28:58.519><c> people</c><00:28:59.140><c> present</c><00:29:01.140><c> their</c><00:29:01.400><c> opinions</c><00:29:01.799><c> as</c><00:29:02.099><c> facts.</c>

00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:13.400
So<00:29:08.440><c> if</c><00:29:08.559><c> you</c><00:29:08.660><c> find</c><00:29:08.980><c> yourself</c><00:29:10.119><c> giving</c><00:29:11.599><c> your</c><00:29:11.900><c> opinions</c><00:29:12.460><c> and</c><00:29:12.799><c> asserting</c><00:29:13.180><c> them</c>

00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:16.000
in<00:29:13.599><c> such</c><00:29:13.779><c> a</c><00:29:14.000><c> way</c><00:29:14.279><c> that</c><00:29:14.460><c> people</c><00:29:14.720><c> must</c><00:29:15.039><c> accept</c><00:29:15.460><c> them,</c><00:29:15.819><c> then</c>

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:17.160
you're<00:29:16.299><c> arrogant.</c>

00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.720
And<00:29:22.980><c> as</c><00:29:23.200><c> a</c><00:29:23.380><c> consequence</c><00:29:23.680><c> of</c><00:29:23.900><c> that,</c><00:29:25.799><c> they</c><00:29:26.059><c> don't</c><00:29:26.319><c> listen.</c>

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:31.539
Why<00:29:27.240><c> should</c><00:29:27.480><c> they?</c><00:29:28.380><c> Their</c><00:29:28.640><c> opinions</c><00:29:29.259><c> fill</c><00:29:29.660><c> up</c><00:29:30.579><c> all</c><00:29:31.019><c> that's</c><00:29:31.339><c> needed</c>

00:29:31.539 --> 00:29:36.559
and<00:29:31.700><c> they're</c><00:29:31.859><c> just</c><00:29:32.019><c> hoping</c><00:29:32.220><c> that</c><00:29:32.460><c> everybody</c><00:29:32.819><c> else</c><00:29:34.059><c> listens.</c>

00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:40.339
So,<00:29:38.220><c> brethren</c><00:29:38.299><c> and</c><00:29:38.480><c> sisters,</c><00:29:38.579><c> it's</c><00:29:38.779><c> all</c><00:29:38.940><c> about</c><00:29:39.220><c> service</c><00:29:39.740><c> right</c><00:29:40.140><c> to</c>

00:29:40.339 --> 00:29:40.500
the<00:29:40.420><c> end.</c>

00:29:40.539 --> 00:29:44.119
In<00:29:40.700><c> fact,</c><00:29:40.880><c> it's</c><00:29:41.119><c> not</c><00:29:41.319><c> all</c><00:29:41.599><c> about</c><00:29:41.880><c> service</c><00:29:42.200><c> right</c><00:29:42.460><c> to</c><00:29:42.619><c> the</c><00:29:42.779><c> end.</c>

00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:52.200
You<00:29:47.200><c> know,</c><00:29:47.480><c> our</c><00:29:47.779><c> whole</c><00:29:48.819><c> heritage</c><00:29:49.759><c> for</c><00:29:50.900><c> the</c><00:29:51.160><c> kingdom</c><00:29:51.599><c> is</c>

service<00:29:52.500><c> again.</c>

00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:58.680
This<00:29:53.240><c> is</c><00:29:53.740><c> just</c><00:29:54.460><c> a</c><00:29:55.380><c> training</c><00:29:55.700><c> course,</c><00:29:56.059><c> if</c><00:29:56.279><c> you</c><00:29:56.559><c> like,</c><00:29:56.980><c> a</c><00:29:57.180><c> prelude</c><00:29:57.700><c> to</c><00:29:58.460><c> our</c>

00:29:59.539 --> 00:30:02.240
It's<00:29:59.880><c> not</c><00:30:00.140><c> as</c><00:30:00.420><c> though</c><00:30:00.660><c> we</c><00:30:00.880><c> get</c><00:30:01.079><c> to</c><00:30:01.299><c> the</c><00:30:01.519><c> point</c><00:30:01.700><c> where</c><00:30:01.920><c> Christ</c>

00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:22.299
What<00:30:20.000><c> are</c><00:30:20.180><c> the</c><00:30:20.380><c> angels</c><00:30:20.720><c> doing</c><00:30:21.079><c> today?</c>

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:53.740
When,<00:30:49.259><c> oh</c><00:30:49.880><c> dear,</c><00:30:50.480><c> I</c><00:30:51.779><c> hope</c><00:30:51.960><c> I'm</c><00:30:52.180><c> not</c><00:30:52.359><c> arrogant</c><00:30:52.640><c> here.</c>

00:30:55.819 --> 00:30:59.279
I'll<00:30:56.539><c> personalise</c><00:30:56.920><c> it</c><00:30:57.079><c> to</c><00:30:57.200><c> myself,</c><00:30:57.779><c> okay,</c><00:30:58.140><c> so</c><00:30:58.319><c> I</c><00:30:58.380><c> won't</c><00:30:58.480><c> embarrass</c><00:30:58.839><c> anyone</c><00:30:59.099><c> in</c>

the<00:30:59.440><c> audience.</c>

00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:12.400
When<00:31:04.299><c> did</c><00:31:04.500><c> I</c><00:31:04.900><c> last</c><00:31:06.160><c> wash</c><00:31:07.640><c> my</c><00:31:10.119><c> brother</c><00:31:10.440><c> or</c><00:31:10.700><c> sister's</c><00:31:11.900><c> feet?</c>

00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:39.519
I<00:31:36.799><c> can't</c><00:31:37.160><c> do</c><00:31:37.279><c> it</c><00:31:37.380><c> for</c><00:31:37.500><c> them,</c><00:31:37.740><c> who</c><00:31:37.920><c> can</c><00:31:38.140><c> I</c><00:31:38.279><c> do</c><00:31:38.400><c> it</c><00:31:38.640><c> for?</c>

00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:44.240

00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:53.980
That<00:31:51.680><c> is</c><00:31:51.980><c> by</c><00:31:52.220><c> definition,</c><00:31:52.720><c> by</c><00:31:52.960><c> the</c><00:31:53.119><c> way.</c>

00:31:55.079 --> 00:32:00.380
You<00:31:55.680><c> can't</c><00:31:56.039><c> be</c><00:31:56.240><c> a</c><00:31:56.500><c> servant</c><00:31:56.799><c> who</c><00:31:57.099><c> leads</c><00:31:57.460><c> unless</c><00:31:57.759><c> you're</c><00:31:58.019><c> prepared</c><00:31:58.259><c> to</c><00:31:58.480><c> do</c><00:31:58.619><c> that.</c>

00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:04.779
All<00:32:01.059><c> right,</c><00:32:01.579><c> let's</c><00:32:01.920><c> talk</c><00:32:02.660><c> a</c><00:32:03.319><c> bit</c><00:32:03.440><c> about</c><00:32:03.720><c> Joshua</c><00:32:04.279><c> the</c><00:32:04.579><c> man.</c>

00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:06.660
He<00:32:04.880><c> was</c><00:32:05.099><c> born</c><00:32:05.259><c> in</c><00:32:05.480><c> Egypt.</c>

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:12.740
Only<00:32:08.319><c> he</c><00:32:08.599><c> and</c><00:32:08.900><c> Caleb</c><00:32:09.220><c> were</c><00:32:09.519><c> the</c><00:32:09.640><c> only</c><00:32:09.920><c> adults</c><00:32:10.480><c> of</c><00:32:11.599><c> his</c><00:32:11.839><c> generation</c><00:32:12.440><c> to</c>

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:13.319
enter<00:32:12.980><c> Canaan,</c>

00:32:13.380 --> 00:32:16.880
and<00:32:13.579><c> we</c><00:32:13.880><c> first</c><00:32:14.319><c> hear</c><00:32:14.539><c> of</c><00:32:14.680><c> him</c><00:32:15.140><c> in</c><00:32:15.539><c> Exodus</c><00:32:15.980><c> 17.</c>

00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:18.740
Let's<00:32:17.140><c> just</c><00:32:17.400><c> turn</c><00:32:17.579><c> to</c><00:32:17.779><c> that.</c>

00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:24.180
Exodus<00:32:19.299><c> 17.</c>

00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:32.859
And<00:32:31.200><c> verse</c><00:32:31.480><c> 8.</c>

00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:36.200
Now<00:32:33.460><c> he</c><00:32:33.500><c> must</c><00:32:33.779><c> have</c><00:32:33.980><c> impressed</c><00:32:34.859><c> Moses.</c>

00:32:36.779 --> 00:32:39.680
Then<00:32:36.940><c> came</c><00:32:37.400><c> Amalek</c><00:32:37.880><c> and</c><00:32:38.119><c> fought</c><00:32:38.319><c> with</c><00:32:38.559><c> Israel</c><00:32:38.900><c> in</c><00:32:39.180><c> Rephidim,</c>

00:32:40.019 --> 00:32:45.440
and<00:32:40.160><c> Moses</c><00:32:40.619><c> said</c><00:32:41.000><c> to</c><00:32:41.359><c> Joshua,</c><00:32:42.359><c> so</c><00:32:42.460><c> he</c><00:32:42.579><c> just</c><00:32:44.039><c> leaps</c><00:32:44.759><c> out</c><00:32:44.980><c> of</c><00:32:45.099><c> the</c><00:32:45.279><c> record.</c>

00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:51.160
Moses<00:32:46.039><c> said</c><00:32:46.500><c> to</c><00:32:46.900><c> Joshua,</c><00:32:48.900><c> choose</c><00:32:49.480><c> us</c><00:32:49.799><c> out</c><00:32:50.019><c> men</c><00:32:50.259><c> and</c><00:32:50.599><c> go</c><00:32:50.880><c> out</c>

00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:52.200
and<00:32:51.359><c> fight</c><00:32:51.599><c> with</c><00:32:51.920><c> Amalek.</c>

00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:54.619
Tomorrow<00:32:52.880><c> I'll</c><00:32:53.240><c> stand</c><00:32:53.420><c> on</c><00:32:53.579><c> the</c><00:32:53.779><c> top</c><00:32:53.900><c> of</c><00:32:54.079><c> the</c><00:32:54.180><c> hill</c><00:32:54.279><c> with</c><00:32:54.480><c> the</c>

00:32:54.619 --> 00:32:56.359
rod<00:32:54.759><c> of</c><00:32:54.960><c> God</c><00:32:55.240><c> in</c><00:32:55.880><c> mine</c><00:32:56.059><c> hand.</c>

00:32:56.700 --> 00:32:59.400
So<00:32:56.960><c> Joshua</c><00:32:57.299><c> did</c><00:32:57.640><c> as</c><00:32:57.819><c> Moses</c><00:32:58.119><c> had</c><00:32:58.359><c> said</c><00:32:58.440><c> to</c><00:32:58.599><c> him,</c><00:32:58.920><c> and</c><00:32:59.039><c> he</c><00:32:59.279><c> fought</c>

00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:00.039
with<00:32:59.660><c> Amalek,</c>

00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.819
and<00:33:00.380><c> Moses,</c><00:33:01.160><c> Aaron,</c><00:33:01.359><c> and</c><00:33:01.539><c> Hur</c><00:33:01.680><c> went</c><00:33:01.859><c> up</c><00:33:02.059><c> to</c><00:33:02.220><c> the</c><00:33:02.359><c> top</c><00:33:02.480><c> of</c><00:33:02.680><c> the</c><00:33:02.740><c> hill.</c>

00:33:02.900 --> 00:33:04.559
Now<00:33:03.119><c> look</c><00:33:03.259><c> at</c><00:33:03.420><c> this.</c>

00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:08.359
And<00:33:05.640><c> it</c><00:33:05.759><c> came</c><00:33:05.920><c> to</c><00:33:06.160><c> pass</c><00:33:06.400><c> when</c><00:33:06.579><c> Moses</c><00:33:06.980><c> held</c><00:33:07.200><c> up</c><00:33:07.400><c> his</c><00:33:07.640><c> hand</c><00:33:08.039><c> that</c>

00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:09.740
Israel<00:33:08.859><c> prevailed,</c>

00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:13.079
and<00:33:10.039><c> when</c><00:33:10.920><c> he</c><00:33:11.039><c> let</c><00:33:11.180><c> down</c><00:33:11.460><c> his</c><00:33:11.740><c> hand,</c><00:33:12.220><c> Amalek</c><00:33:12.539><c> prevailed.</c>

00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.619
Now<00:33:13.539><c> that's</c><00:33:13.839><c> bizarre,</c><00:33:14.380><c> isn't</c><00:33:14.500><c> it?</c>

00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:18.460
So<00:33:16.880><c> he's</c><00:33:17.140><c> got</c><00:33:17.220><c> to</c><00:33:17.359><c> have</c><00:33:17.359><c> his</c><00:33:17.599><c> hands</c><00:33:17.839><c> up.</c>

00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:20.460
Israel's<00:33:19.380><c> winning</c><00:33:19.619><c> the</c><00:33:20.220><c> battle.</c>

00:33:20.940 --> 00:33:23.680
They<00:33:21.279><c> wilt.</c><00:33:22.079><c> Amalek's</c><00:33:22.500><c> winning</c><00:33:22.660><c> the</c><00:33:22.900><c> battle.</c>

00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:26.519
God's<00:33:24.680><c> doing</c><00:33:24.900><c> some</c><00:33:25.180><c> rather</c><00:33:25.539><c> strange</c><00:33:26.000><c> things.</c>

00:33:26.779 --> 00:33:29.579
And<00:33:26.940><c> there's</c><00:33:27.220><c> poor</c><00:33:27.420><c> old</c><00:33:27.619><c> Joshua.</c><00:33:28.160><c> He's</c><00:33:28.220><c> fighting</c><00:33:28.500><c> away,</c><00:33:28.980><c> doing</c><00:33:29.240><c> all</c>

00:33:29.579 --> 00:33:30.059
the<00:33:29.799><c> work.</c>

00:33:30.339 --> 00:33:34.019
Oh,<00:33:30.819><c> heck,</c><00:33:31.119><c> I'm</c><00:33:31.440><c> getting</c><00:33:31.619><c> nowhere</c><00:33:32.119><c> because</c><00:33:32.619><c> of</c><00:33:32.900><c> Moses'</c><00:33:33.339><c> hands</c><00:33:33.779><c> wilt.</c>

00:33:34.099 --> 00:33:36.440
So<00:33:34.259><c> they</c><00:33:34.539><c> go</c><00:33:34.759><c> and</c><00:33:34.960><c> prop</c><00:33:35.079><c> up</c><00:33:35.279><c> his</c><00:33:35.539><c> hands.</c>

00:33:37.619 --> 00:33:40.319
God<00:33:37.880><c> didn't</c><00:33:38.180><c> have</c><00:33:38.519><c> to</c><00:33:38.640><c> do</c><00:33:38.779><c> it</c><00:33:38.920><c> that</c><00:33:39.200><c> way.</c>

00:33:41.380 --> 00:33:45.779
Moses<00:33:42.059><c> chose</c><00:33:42.740><c> out</c><00:33:43.059><c> Joshua</c><00:33:43.519><c> to</c><00:33:44.099><c> lead</c><00:33:44.319><c> the</c><00:33:44.619><c> battle,</c>

00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:50.660
and<00:33:47.240><c> out</c><00:33:47.400><c> he</c><00:33:47.619><c> goes,</c><00:33:48.220><c> and</c><00:33:48.380><c> he's</c><00:33:48.619><c> working</c><00:33:49.119><c> hard,</c><00:33:50.200><c> working</c><00:33:50.500><c> up</c>

00:33:50.660 --> 00:33:52.420
this<00:33:50.980><c> enormous</c><00:33:51.500><c> sweat.</c>

00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:57.460
But<00:33:53.220><c> really,</c><00:33:54.660><c> the</c><00:33:54.960><c> deliverance</c><00:33:55.440><c> is</c><00:33:55.920><c> not</c><00:33:56.240><c> coming</c><00:33:56.599><c> from</c><00:33:57.119><c> the</c>

00:33:57.460 --> 00:33:58.480
hand<00:33:57.680><c> with</c><00:33:57.920><c> the</c><00:33:58.119><c> sword.</c>

00:33:58.700 --> 00:34:01.140
It's<00:33:59.039><c> coming</c><00:33:59.279><c> from</c><00:33:59.539><c> back</c><00:33:59.799><c> here</c><00:33:59.940><c> with</c><00:34:00.140><c> Moses.</c>

00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:05.579
Now<00:34:03.400><c> why</c><00:34:03.660><c> does</c><00:34:03.880><c> God</c><00:34:04.119><c> do</c><00:34:04.460><c> that?</c>

00:34:11.500 --> 00:34:13.780
Couldn't<00:34:11.980><c> God</c><00:34:12.360><c> have</c><00:34:12.719><c> simply</c><00:34:13.239><c> said,</c>

00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:17.139
choose<00:34:14.480><c> out</c><00:34:14.820><c> Joshua,</c><00:34:15.300><c> get</c><00:34:15.440><c> all</c><00:34:15.840><c> the</c><00:34:15.920><c> men</c><00:34:16.019><c> together,</c><00:34:16.719><c> and</c><00:34:16.920><c> you</c>

00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:17.679
will<00:34:17.400><c> prevail.</c>

00:34:17.900 --> 00:34:20.000
And<00:34:18.219><c> watch</c><00:34:18.400><c> it,</c><00:34:18.679><c> boys.</c><00:34:19.119><c> You</c><00:34:19.440><c> see</c><00:34:19.619><c> what</c><00:34:19.840><c> happens.</c>

00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.539
And<00:34:20.260><c> away</c><00:34:20.460><c> he</c><00:34:20.619><c> goes</c><00:34:20.820><c> with</c><00:34:21.019><c> his</c><00:34:21.199><c> sword,</c><00:34:21.460><c> just</c><00:34:21.699><c> slices</c><00:34:22.039><c> through</c><00:34:22.340><c> them,</c>

00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:25.000
hot<00:34:23.039><c> knife</c><00:34:23.239><c> through</c><00:34:23.480><c> the</c><00:34:23.619><c> butter,</c><00:34:23.900><c> no</c><00:34:24.179><c> problems</c><00:34:24.559><c> at</c><00:34:24.820><c> all.</c>

00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.280
Moses<00:34:25.940><c> and</c><00:34:26.260><c> Joshua's</c><00:34:27.039><c> fame</c><00:34:27.199><c> is</c><00:34:28.599><c> famed</c><00:34:29.019><c> and</c><00:34:29.219><c> glorified</c><00:34:29.659><c> throughout</c><00:34:29.980><c> the</c><00:34:30.179><c> land.</c>

00:34:30.460 --> 00:34:31.940
Why<00:34:30.780><c> couldn't</c><00:34:31.119><c> God</c><00:34:31.380><c> do</c><00:34:31.719><c> that?</c>

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:34.539
Well,<00:34:32.280><c> he</c><00:34:32.519><c> could</c><00:34:32.800><c> have</c><00:34:32.980><c> done</c><00:34:33.260><c> that.</c>

00:34:35.420 --> 00:34:37.780
And<00:34:35.719><c> he</c><00:34:35.920><c> chose</c><00:34:36.519><c> not</c><00:34:37.199><c> to.</c>

00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:39.960
He<00:34:38.579><c> made</c><00:34:38.920><c> it</c><00:34:39.219><c> arduous.</c>

00:34:40.139 --> 00:34:42.860
And<00:34:40.360><c> to</c><00:34:40.579><c> our</c><00:34:41.039><c> thinking,</c><00:34:41.739><c> brethren</c><00:34:41.760><c> and</c><00:34:41.980><c> sisters,</c><00:34:42.199><c> and</c><00:34:42.559><c> take</c>

00:34:42.860 --> 00:34:45.440
this<00:34:43.119><c> in,</c><00:34:43.400><c> please,</c><00:34:44.039><c> take</c><00:34:44.280><c> this</c><00:34:44.539><c> in.</c>

00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:49.079
He<00:34:45.800><c> made</c><00:34:46.039><c> it</c><00:34:46.500><c> unnecessarily</c><00:34:47.840><c> so.</c>

00:34:49.460 --> 00:34:52.480
From<00:34:49.679><c> a</c><00:34:50.019><c> purely</c><00:34:50.300><c> human</c><00:34:50.719><c> perspective,</c><00:34:51.599><c> all</c><00:34:51.739><c> this</c><00:34:52.019><c> hands</c><00:34:52.219><c> going</c>

00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:53.340

00:34:53.579 --> 00:34:56.000
that<00:34:53.780><c> doesn't</c><00:34:54.019><c> make</c><00:34:54.260><c> much</c><00:34:54.440><c> sense</c><00:34:54.739><c> to</c><00:34:55.019><c> us.</c>

00:34:58.860 --> 00:35:03.539
God<00:34:59.139><c> has</c><00:34:59.360><c> his</c><00:34:59.559><c> own</c><00:34:59.800><c> ways,</c><00:35:00.440><c> and</c><00:35:00.639><c> they're</c><00:35:00.980><c> inscrutable</c><00:35:01.559><c> to</c><00:35:01.880><c> us.</c>

00:35:07.019 --> 00:35:11.019
Joshua<00:35:07.579><c> could</c><00:35:07.900><c> have</c><00:35:08.139><c> said,</c><00:35:08.460><c> oh,</c><00:35:08.900><c> cut</c><00:35:09.119><c> it</c><00:35:09.280><c> out,</c><00:35:09.460><c> give</c><00:35:09.599><c> me</c><00:35:09.800><c> a</c><00:35:10.159><c> break.</c>

00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:13.679
I'm<00:35:11.579><c> working</c><00:35:11.820><c> hard.</c><00:35:12.480><c> You're</c><00:35:12.760><c> not</c><00:35:12.900><c> on</c><00:35:13.119><c> my</c><00:35:13.500><c> side.</c>

00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:16.440
You've<00:35:14.099><c> got</c><00:35:14.159><c> this</c><00:35:14.400><c> funny</c><00:35:14.679><c> little</c><00:35:15.280><c> scheme</c><00:35:15.539><c> going.</c>

00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:19.139
Couldn't<00:35:16.800><c> you</c><00:35:17.079><c> be</c><00:35:17.280><c> a</c><00:35:17.559><c> little</c><00:35:17.780><c> bit</c><00:35:17.960><c> more</c><00:35:18.219><c> helpful?</c>

00:35:20.739 --> 00:35:22.699
Pretty<00:35:21.199><c> hot</c><00:35:21.440><c> down</c><00:35:21.820><c> here.</c>

00:35:23.139 --> 00:35:25.119
He<00:35:23.400><c> could</c><00:35:23.599><c> have</c><00:35:23.800><c> said</c><00:35:24.019><c> that.</c><00:35:24.239><c> He</c><00:35:24.480><c> didn't.</c>

00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:27.579
He<00:35:25.619><c> worked</c><00:35:25.840><c> in</c><00:35:26.000><c> with</c><00:35:26.239><c> God's</c><00:35:26.800><c> scheme.</c>

00:35:27.659 --> 00:35:32.699
And<00:35:27.920><c> God</c><00:35:28.199><c> takes</c><00:35:28.739><c> the</c><00:35:29.300><c> long</c><00:35:29.699><c> way</c><00:35:30.039><c> and</c><00:35:30.320><c> the</c><00:35:30.659><c> arduous</c><00:35:31.239><c> way</c><00:35:31.639><c> round.</c>

00:35:37.980 --> 00:35:40.360
And<00:35:38.619><c> that's</c><00:35:39.260><c> hard.</c>

00:35:40.940 --> 00:35:42.079
I<00:35:41.179><c> don't</c><00:35:41.320><c> know</c><00:35:41.440><c> about</c><00:35:41.639><c> you.</c>

00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:44.940
If<00:35:42.559><c> you're</c><00:35:42.760><c> different</c><00:35:43.039><c> than</c><00:35:43.219><c> me,</c><00:35:43.519><c> brethren</c><00:35:43.619><c> and</c><00:35:43.920><c> sisters,</c>

00:35:45.699 --> 00:35:47.920
well,<00:35:45.820><c> invite</c><00:35:46.159><c> me</c><00:35:46.340><c> to</c><00:35:46.440><c> your</c><00:35:46.719><c> planet.</c>

00:35:51.539 --> 00:35:57.840
Waiting<00:35:52.179><c> and</c><00:35:52.820><c> being</c><00:35:53.360><c> patient</c><00:35:54.099><c> for</c><00:35:54.619><c> God</c><00:35:54.980><c> is</c><00:35:55.239><c> the</c><00:35:55.639><c> hardest</c><00:35:56.199><c> thing</c><00:35:56.699><c> I</c><00:35:57.019><c> have</c><00:35:57.320><c> got</c><00:35:57.519><c> to</c>

00:35:57.840 --> 00:35:59.539
learn<00:35:58.079><c> in</c><00:35:58.340><c> my</c><00:35:58.619><c> life.</c>

00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:02.199
I'm<00:36:00.079><c> not</c><00:36:00.420><c> trying</c><00:36:00.679><c> to</c><00:36:00.820><c> be</c><00:36:00.980><c> modest.</c>

00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:09.539
Why<00:36:05.119><c> God</c><00:36:05.639><c> takes</c><00:36:06.139><c> the</c><00:36:06.500><c> long</c><00:36:06.780><c> way</c><00:36:07.139><c> round,</c><00:36:07.820><c> maybe</c><00:36:08.139><c> I'll</c><00:36:08.760><c> never</c><00:36:09.039><c> know.</c>

00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:12.480
But<00:36:10.179><c> he</c><00:36:10.480><c> does,</c><00:36:11.039><c> and</c><00:36:11.219><c> he</c><00:36:11.300><c> has</c><00:36:11.440><c> the</c><00:36:11.699><c> right</c><00:36:11.860><c> to</c><00:36:12.119><c> do</c><00:36:12.320><c> that.</c>

00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:13.719
And<00:36:12.659><c> he</c><00:36:12.860><c> did.</c>

00:36:14.500 --> 00:36:16.179
And<00:36:14.699><c> there's</c><00:36:14.960><c> Joshua,</c><00:36:15.920><c> faithful.</c>

00:36:16.219 --> 00:36:19.199
Verse<00:36:16.539><c> 10,</c><00:36:16.820><c> so</c><00:36:17.139><c> Joshua</c><00:36:17.739><c> did</c><00:36:18.400><c> as</c><00:36:18.599><c> he</c><00:36:18.820><c> was</c><00:36:19.039><c> told.</c>

00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:22.420
That's<00:36:19.579><c> the</c><00:36:19.960><c> unquestioning</c><00:36:20.659><c> obedience</c><00:36:21.119><c> of</c><00:36:21.340><c> a</c><00:36:21.619><c> servant.</c>

00:36:23.460 --> 00:36:27.059
And<00:36:23.800><c> sometimes,</c><00:36:24.460><c> brethren</c><00:36:24.579><c> and</c><00:36:24.820><c> sisters,</c><00:36:25.000><c> we'll</c><00:36:25.380><c> do</c><00:36:25.739><c> anything</c><00:36:26.260><c> but</c>

00:36:27.059 --> 00:36:28.840
simply<00:36:27.699><c> obey.</c>

00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:32.019
But<00:36:30.820><c> he</c><00:36:31.000><c> did.</c>

00:36:32.099 --> 00:36:34.239
And<00:36:32.199><c> in</c><00:36:32.380><c> verse</c><00:36:32.679><c> 13,</c><00:36:33.199><c> he's</c><00:36:33.500><c> given</c><00:36:33.719><c> success.</c>

00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:37.860
And<00:36:34.500><c> Joshua</c><00:36:34.920><c> discomforted</c><00:36:35.800><c> Amalek</c><00:36:36.159><c> and</c><00:36:36.480><c> his</c><00:36:36.719><c> people</c><00:36:37.000><c> with</c><00:36:37.199><c> the</c><00:36:37.420><c> edge</c><00:36:37.659><c> of</c>

the<00:36:38.099><c> sword.</c>

00:36:38.699 --> 00:36:42.579
And<00:36:38.880><c> Yahweh</c><00:36:39.179><c> said</c><00:36:39.420><c> to</c><00:36:39.659><c> Moses,</c><00:36:40.139><c> love</c><00:36:40.500><c> this,</c><00:36:41.280><c> write</c><00:36:41.699><c> this</c><00:36:42.079><c> for</c><00:36:42.320><c> a</c>

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.659
His<00:37:35.280><c> whole</c><00:37:35.559><c> life</c><00:37:35.860><c> is</c><00:37:36.119><c> governed</c><00:37:36.320><c> by</c><00:37:36.639><c> a</c><00:37:36.739><c> book.</c>

00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:43.280
Now<00:37:38.960><c> of</c><00:37:39.179><c> course,</c><00:37:40.780><c> God</c><00:37:40.940><c> revealed</c><00:37:41.280><c> to</c><00:37:41.500><c> him</c><00:37:41.940><c> in</c><00:37:42.800><c> things</c><00:37:42.980><c> other</c>

00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:43.840
than<00:37:43.420><c> the</c><00:37:43.599><c> Scriptures.</c>

00:37:43.980 --> 00:37:45.719
I'm<00:37:44.039><c> not</c><00:37:44.179><c> denying</c><00:37:44.579><c> that.</c>

00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:50.780
But<00:37:46.679><c> primarily</c><00:37:47.199><c> for</c><00:37:47.659><c> him,</c><00:37:48.820><c> even</c><00:37:49.099><c> more</c><00:37:49.360><c> so</c><00:37:49.579><c> than</c><00:37:49.719><c> Moses.</c>

00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:54.519
He<00:37:51.840><c> identified</c><00:37:52.280><c> with</c><00:37:52.460><c> a</c><00:37:52.639><c> book.</c><00:37:53.039><c> We're</c><00:37:53.159><c> going</c><00:37:53.239><c> to</c><00:37:53.380><c> see</c><00:37:53.599><c> that</c><00:37:54.239><c> in</c>

00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:57.539
Chapter<00:37:54.800><c> 1</c><00:37:55.219><c> of</c><00:37:55.400><c> Joshua</c><00:37:55.860><c> in</c><00:37:56.219><c> a</c><00:37:56.360><c> moment.</c>

00:37:58.699 --> 00:38:01.280
You<00:37:58.860><c> and</c><00:37:59.000><c> I</c><00:37:59.079><c> can</c><00:37:59.260><c> relate</c><00:37:59.480><c> to</c><00:37:59.619><c> this</c><00:37:59.880><c> fellow.</c>

00:38:01.820 --> 00:38:03.019
For<00:38:01.860><c> two</c><00:38:02.059><c> reasons.</c>

00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:06.460
Firstly,<00:38:04.340><c> we</c><00:38:04.460><c> get</c><00:38:04.639><c> our</c><00:38:04.880><c> instructions</c><00:38:05.280><c> from</c><00:38:05.500><c> a</c><00:38:05.639><c> book.</c>

00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:09.940
Now<00:38:07.380><c> I</c><00:38:07.400><c> don't</c><00:38:07.599><c> know</c><00:38:07.760><c> about</c><00:38:07.960><c> you,</c><00:38:08.219><c> but</c><00:38:08.340><c> I</c><00:38:08.519><c> find</c><00:38:08.679><c> that</c><00:38:08.900><c> hard.</c>

00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:14.480
We<00:38:12.079><c> talk</c><00:38:12.260><c> about</c><00:38:12.480><c> a</c><00:38:12.699><c> relationship</c><00:38:13.139><c> with</c><00:38:13.380><c> our</c><00:38:13.480><c> Heavenly</c><00:38:13.780><c> Father</c>

00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:16.260
and<00:38:14.940><c> His</c><00:38:15.159><c> Son.</c>

00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:20.380
And<00:38:17.139><c> let's</c><00:38:17.280><c> be</c><00:38:17.480><c> honest</c><00:38:17.659><c> with</c><00:38:17.860><c> ourselves,</c><00:38:18.619><c> we've</c><00:38:19.000><c> never</c><00:38:19.199><c> met</c><00:38:19.420><c> them.</c>

00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:24.760
Not<00:38:21.280><c> in</c><00:38:21.460><c> the</c><00:38:21.619><c> sense</c><00:38:21.860><c> that</c><00:38:22.019><c> I</c><00:38:22.139><c> meet</c><00:38:22.380><c> you</c><00:38:22.639><c> and</c><00:38:22.760><c> you</c><00:38:22.900><c> meet</c><00:38:23.099><c> me.</c>

00:38:26.659 --> 00:38:29.480
It's<00:38:27.139><c> at</c><00:38:27.300><c> arm's</c><00:38:27.619><c> length</c><00:38:27.820><c> through</c><00:38:28.099><c> a</c><00:38:28.380><c> book.</c>

00:38:32.539 --> 00:38:34.519
And<00:38:32.760><c> Joshua</c><00:38:33.000><c> was</c><00:38:33.280><c> like</c><00:38:33.420><c> that,</c><00:38:33.780><c> primarily</c><00:38:34.179><c> so.</c>

00:38:34.739 --> 00:38:37.659
And<00:38:34.880><c> the</c><00:38:35.019><c> other</c><00:38:35.179><c> thing</c><00:38:35.340><c> that</c><00:38:35.500><c> I</c><00:38:35.619><c> can</c><00:38:35.739><c> relate</c><00:38:35.980><c> to</c><00:38:36.139><c> this</c><00:38:36.360><c> man</c><00:38:36.539><c> from</c><00:38:36.860><c> day</c><00:38:37.300><c> one,</c>

00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:42.699
is<00:38:38.119><c> that</c><00:38:38.400><c> success</c><00:38:39.099><c> in</c><00:38:39.400><c> his</c><00:38:39.780><c> life</c><00:38:40.219><c> is</c><00:38:41.019><c> not</c><00:38:41.579><c> immediate.</c>

00:38:44.619 --> 00:38:46.659
So<00:38:44.880><c> the</c><00:38:45.059><c> first</c><00:38:45.260><c> thing</c><00:38:45.420><c> we</c><00:38:45.639><c> learn</c><00:38:45.800><c> about</c><00:38:46.039><c> this</c><00:38:46.360><c> man,</c>

00:38:46.659 --> 00:38:52.599
he's<00:38:47.420><c> faithful,</c><00:38:48.960><c> he's</c><00:38:49.219><c> diligent,</c><00:38:50.579><c> he</c><00:38:50.679><c> opposes</c><00:38:51.260><c> God's</c><00:38:51.739><c> enemies,</c>

00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:57.340
and<00:38:53.199><c> he</c><00:38:53.460><c> learns</c><00:38:53.860><c> things</c><00:38:54.219><c> through</c><00:38:54.500><c> a</c><00:38:54.820><c> book</c><00:38:55.039><c> and</c><00:38:55.619><c> nothing</c><00:38:56.039><c> comes</c><00:38:56.480><c> easy.</c>

00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:03.360
Study<00:39:00.139><c> to</c><00:39:00.500><c> show</c><00:39:00.800><c> thyself</c><00:39:01.380><c> approved</c><00:39:01.940><c> under</c><00:39:02.219><c> God,</c><00:39:02.599><c> a</c><00:39:03.000><c> workman</c>

00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:04.760
that<00:39:03.619><c> needeth</c><00:39:03.900><c> not</c><00:39:04.079><c> to</c><00:39:04.280><c> be</c><00:39:04.420><c> ashamed,</c>

00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:08.119
rightly<00:39:05.460><c> dividing</c><00:39:05.880><c> the</c><00:39:06.159><c> word</c><00:39:06.320><c> of</c><00:39:06.599><c> truth,</c><00:39:06.960><c> and</c><00:39:07.300><c> that</c><00:39:07.679><c> takes</c>

00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:10.440
time<00:39:08.840><c> and</c><00:39:09.460><c> effort.</c>

00:39:10.820 --> 00:39:12.579
And<00:39:11.099><c> there's</c><00:39:11.320><c> no</c><00:39:11.599><c> instant</c><00:39:11.940><c> success.</c>

00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:15.739
You<00:39:13.719><c> talk</c><00:39:14.019><c> about</c><00:39:14.360><c> leaders,</c><00:39:14.860><c> brethren</c><00:39:15.000><c> and</c><00:39:15.239><c> sisters,</c><00:39:15.420><c> in</c><00:39:15.599><c> the</c>

00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:18.139
it's<00:39:17.440><c> not</c><00:39:17.679><c> easy.</c>

00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:21.099
There<00:39:18.780><c> are</c><00:39:19.139><c> setbacks</c><00:39:19.699><c> and</c><00:39:19.980><c> there</c><00:39:20.000><c> are</c><00:39:20.380><c> circuitous</c><00:39:20.820><c> routes</c>

00:39:32.179 --> 00:39:35.760

00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:47.039
If<00:39:46.219><c> only</c><00:39:46.519><c> it</c><00:39:46.659><c> were</c><00:39:46.840><c> so.</c>

00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:49.260
Parenting<00:39:47.599><c> is</c><00:39:47.840><c> a</c><00:39:48.099><c> tough</c><00:39:48.360><c> gig.</c>

00:39:51.780 --> 00:39:58.219
You<00:39:52.300><c> talk</c><00:39:52.500><c> with</c><00:39:52.739><c> interested</c><00:39:53.119><c> friends,</c><00:39:55.900><c> sometimes</c><00:39:56.699><c> for</c><00:39:57.500><c> years,</c>

00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:01.639
That's<00:40:00.500><c> a</c><00:40:00.639><c> tough</c><00:40:00.780><c> gig</c><00:40:00.980><c> as</c><00:40:01.239><c> well.</c>

00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:11.159

You've<00:40:31.340><c> just</c><00:40:31.340><c> got</c><00:40:31.460><c> to</c><00:40:31.619><c> go</c><00:40:31.860><c> for</c><00:40:32.019><c> it</c><00:40:32.880><c> and</c><00:40:33.059><c> stay</c><00:40:33.340><c> with</c><00:40:33.500><c> it.</c>

00:40:34.179 --> 00:40:36.900
Here's<00:40:34.340><c> something</c><00:40:34.659><c> else</c><00:40:34.880><c> I'd</c><00:40:35.059><c> like</c><00:40:35.219><c> to</c><00:40:36.340><c> put</c><00:40:36.500><c> to</c><00:40:36.719><c> you.</c>

00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:52.659
it<00:40:50.659><c> was</c><00:40:50.940><c> Oshia,</c><00:40:51.679><c> we're</c><00:40:51.880><c> told</c><00:40:52.079><c> that,</c>

00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:55.579
and<00:40:53.099><c> Oshia</c><00:40:53.500><c> means</c><00:40:53.940><c> deliverer.</c>

00:40:57.739 --> 00:41:05.579
And<00:40:58.579><c> Moses</c><00:40:59.219><c> decided</c><00:40:59.980><c> to</c><00:41:00.380><c> change</c><00:41:00.599><c> his</c><00:41:00.960><c> name</c><00:41:01.239><c> from</c><00:41:01.619><c> Oshia</c><00:41:02.699><c> to</c><00:41:04.380><c> Yahoshua.</c>

00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:13.300
And<00:41:07.860><c> that</c><00:41:08.199><c> means</c><00:41:08.719><c> not</c><00:41:09.260><c> deliverer,</c><00:41:10.940><c> but</c><00:41:11.340><c> Yahweh</c><00:41:12.159><c> delivers.</c>

00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:16.760
Now,<00:41:14.639><c> I</c><00:41:14.860><c> want</c><00:41:15.059><c> you</c><00:41:15.219><c> to</c><00:41:15.440><c> connect</c><00:41:15.639><c> the</c><00:41:15.880><c> dots.</c>

00:41:20.219 --> 00:41:22.679
Unlike<00:41:21.059><c> you</c><00:41:21.480><c> and</c><00:41:21.679><c> I,</c>

00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:27.679
here's<00:41:23.599><c> a</c><00:41:23.800><c> man</c><00:41:23.960><c> who</c><00:41:24.199><c> was</c><00:41:24.539><c> pulled</c><00:41:24.820><c> aside</c><00:41:25.599><c> from</c><00:41:26.400><c> the</c><00:41:26.639><c> leader</c><00:41:26.820><c> within</c><00:41:27.079><c> the</c><00:41:27.320><c> Ecclesia</c>

00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:30.320
in<00:41:27.920><c> those</c><00:41:28.199><c> days</c><00:41:28.500><c> and</c><00:41:28.679><c> said,</c><00:41:28.980><c> your</c><00:41:28.980><c> name's</c><00:41:29.340><c> Oshia.</c>

00:41:30.380 --> 00:41:31.780
Well,<00:41:30.559><c> forget</c><00:41:30.880><c> about</c><00:41:31.199><c> that.</c>

00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:34.119
It's<00:41:32.920><c> Yahoshua.</c>

00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:38.019
Oh,<00:41:36.019><c> you're</c><00:41:36.420><c> making</c><00:41:36.639><c> a</c><00:41:36.940><c> statement,</c><00:41:37.539><c> Moses.</c>

00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:40.280

Do<00:41:44.780><c> you</c><00:41:44.980><c> get</c><00:41:45.159><c> it?</c>

00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:48.360
Yeah.

00:41:48.619 --> 00:41:50.159
What<00:41:48.920><c> do</c><00:41:49.000><c> you</c><00:41:49.159><c> mean?</c>

00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:56.199
God<00:41:52.059><c> delivers</c><00:41:52.900><c> no</c><00:41:53.760><c> matter</c><00:41:54.099><c> what</c><00:41:54.619><c> you</c><00:41:55.079><c> do.</c>

00:41:56.820 --> 00:42:00.440
Don't<00:41:57.440><c> ever</c><00:41:58.039><c> think</c><00:41:58.380><c> it's</c><00:41:58.639><c> in</c><00:41:58.739><c> your</c><00:41:58.980><c> own</c><00:41:59.260><c> strength.</c>

00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:05.409
You<00:42:01.300><c> were</c><00:42:01.619><c> called</c><00:42:02.199><c> Oshia,</c><00:42:04.460><c> deliverer.</c>

00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:12.360
Really,<00:42:07.800><c> the</c><00:42:08.059><c> core</c><00:42:08.480><c> of</c><00:42:08.840><c> your</c><00:42:09.280><c> work</c><00:42:09.480><c> as</c><00:42:09.800><c> a</c><00:42:09.960><c> leader</c><00:42:10.119><c> is</c><00:42:10.699><c> God</c><00:42:11.280><c> delivers.</c>

00:42:13.019 --> 00:42:15.860
Never<00:42:13.400><c> you</c><00:42:13.860><c> ever</c><00:42:14.260><c> let</c><00:42:14.500><c> that</c><00:42:14.820><c> slip</c><00:42:15.039><c> from</c><00:42:15.260><c> your</c><00:42:15.519><c> thinking.</c>

00:42:15.860 --> 00:42:20.179
Joshua,<00:42:17.659><c> I</c><00:42:18.039><c> changed</c><00:42:18.360><c> your</c><00:42:18.579><c> name</c><00:42:18.699><c> to</c><00:42:18.960><c> Proven.</c>

God<00:42:26.639><c> delivers.</c>

00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:28.320
Everywhere,<00:42:27.840><c> God</c><00:42:28.079><c> delivers.</c>

00:42:31.860 --> 00:42:32.500
How?

00:42:32.860 --> 00:42:35.139
How<00:42:33.260><c> does</c><00:42:33.780><c> God</c><00:42:34.119><c> deliver?</c>

00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:37.699
Well,<00:42:35.880><c> we</c><00:42:36.099><c> saw</c><00:42:36.300><c> it</c><00:42:36.440><c> on</c><00:42:36.579><c> the</c><00:42:36.719><c> first</c><00:42:36.900><c> occasion</c><00:42:37.320><c> with</c><00:42:37.500><c> these</c>

It's<00:43:16.579><c> got</c><00:43:16.679><c> to</c><00:43:16.820><c> be</c><00:43:16.940><c> that,</c><00:43:17.300><c> brethren</c><00:43:17.440><c> and</c><00:43:17.719><c> sisters.</c>

00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:20.420
It's<00:43:18.739><c> got</c><00:43:18.820><c> to</c><00:43:18.960><c> be</c><00:43:19.119><c> that.</c>

00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:26.920
Now,<00:43:23.559><c> don't</c><00:43:23.980><c> you</c><00:43:24.300><c> forget,</c><00:43:24.679><c> Joshua,</c><00:43:25.119><c> that</c><00:43:25.280><c> that's</c><00:43:25.920><c> nonsense.</c>

00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:34.579
Don't<00:43:30.280><c> you</c><00:43:30.679><c> ever</c><00:43:31.300><c> find</c><00:43:31.699><c> the</c><00:43:32.019><c> conceit</c><00:43:32.619><c> of</c><00:43:32.860><c> your</c><00:43:33.139><c> original</c><00:43:33.559><c> name?</c>

00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:41.039
Oh,<00:43:39.039><c> yes,</c><00:43:39.500><c> your</c><00:43:39.820><c> hand's</c><00:43:40.139><c> on</c><00:43:40.340><c> that</c><00:43:40.679><c> sword.</c>

00:43:41.219 --> 00:43:42.940
And<00:43:41.579><c> yes,</c><00:43:41.760><c> you're</c><00:43:42.119><c> ploughing</c><00:43:42.400><c> through</c><00:43:42.760><c> them.</c>

00:43:43.139 --> 00:43:45.760
And<00:43:43.360><c> yes,</c><00:43:43.659><c> the</c><00:43:43.880><c> blood's</c><00:43:44.280><c> trickling</c><00:43:44.559><c> because</c><00:43:44.880><c> you're</c><00:43:45.239><c> the</c><00:43:45.400><c> man</c>

00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:47.440
who's<00:43:46.119><c> doing</c><00:43:46.360><c> that</c><00:43:46.699><c> work.</c>

00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:51.219
But<00:43:47.719><c> if</c><00:43:47.920><c> it</c><00:43:48.300><c> weren't</c><00:43:48.500><c> for</c><00:43:48.800><c> me</c><00:43:49.059><c> behind</c><00:43:49.480><c> the</c><00:43:49.739><c> scenes,</c><00:43:50.260><c> Joshua,</c>

00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:53.099
you<00:43:51.679><c> wouldn't</c><00:43:51.980><c> get</c><00:43:52.239><c> anywhere.</c>

00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:54.460
And<00:43:53.380><c> Joshua</c><00:43:53.619><c> had</c><00:43:53.800><c> to</c><00:43:54.059><c> learn</c><00:43:54.239><c> that.</c>

00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:55.940
And<00:43:54.860><c> in</c><00:43:54.980><c> fact,</c><00:43:55.179><c> brethren</c><00:43:55.280><c> and</c><00:43:55.460><c> sisters,</c><00:43:55.480><c> he</c><00:43:55.619><c> had</c><00:43:55.699><c> to</c><00:43:55.840><c> learn</c>

00:43:55.940 --> 00:43:56.619
that<00:43:56.139><c> the</c><00:43:56.280><c> hard</c><00:43:56.500><c> way.</c>

00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:58.340
We'll<00:43:56.860><c> see</c><00:43:56.940><c> that</c><00:43:57.159><c> on</c><00:43:57.440><c> Sunday.</c>

00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:01.619
He<00:44:00.000><c> slipped</c><00:44:00.260><c> up.</c>

00:44:03.579 --> 00:44:04.059
And<00:44:04.059><c> you</c><00:44:04.059><c> know</c><00:44:04.059><c> what?</c>

00:44:04.059 --> 00:44:06.260
We<00:44:04.559><c> get</c><00:44:04.780><c> it</c><00:44:04.920><c> all</c><00:44:05.039><c> back</c><00:44:05.260><c> to</c><00:44:05.420><c> front.</c>

00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:07.719
We<00:44:06.780><c> do.</c>

00:44:08.179 --> 00:44:08.619
I'll<00:44:08.340><c> tell</c><00:44:08.440><c> you</c><00:44:08.519><c> what.</c>

00:44:08.619 --> 00:44:10.980
One<00:44:08.679><c> of</c><00:44:08.780><c> the</c><00:44:08.940><c> biggest</c><00:44:09.159><c> sources</c><00:44:09.539><c> of</c><00:44:09.820><c> problems</c><00:44:10.099><c> in</c><00:44:10.260><c> the</c><00:44:10.460><c> occlusion</c><00:44:10.679><c> of</c><00:44:10.820><c> God.</c>

00:44:11.179 --> 00:44:13.920
Forget<00:44:11.380><c> the</c><00:44:11.599><c> occlusion</c><00:44:11.840><c> of</c><00:44:12.019><c> God,</c><00:44:12.800><c> particularly.</c>

00:44:15.460 --> 00:44:17.000
Think<00:44:15.699><c> about</c><00:44:15.960><c> your</c><00:44:16.199><c> own</c><00:44:16.480><c> life.</c>

00:44:17.340 --> 00:44:19.480
Think<00:44:17.579><c> about</c><00:44:17.820><c> your</c><00:44:18.039><c> relationship</c><00:44:18.559><c> with</c><00:44:18.800><c> your</c><00:44:18.940><c> heavenly</c><00:44:19.239><c> Father.</c>

00:44:19.699 --> 00:44:21.659
Why<00:44:20.039><c> do</c><00:44:20.260><c> we</c><00:44:20.440><c> mess</c><00:44:20.719><c> up</c><00:44:20.940><c> on</c><00:44:21.159><c> this</c><00:44:21.440><c> point?</c>

00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:27.719
Because<00:44:22.440><c> we</c><00:44:22.900><c> forget</c><00:44:23.719><c> God</c><00:44:24.920><c> delivers</c><00:44:25.820><c> through</c><00:44:26.820><c> His</c><00:44:27.219><c> servants.</c>

00:44:27.940 --> 00:44:29.940
We<00:44:28.320><c> turn</c><00:44:28.639><c> it</c><00:44:28.880><c> around.</c>

00:44:30.900 --> 00:44:31.860
I've<00:44:31.380><c> delivered.</c>

00:44:31.860 --> 00:44:34.119
Now,<00:44:32.260><c> what's</c><00:44:32.599><c> God</c><00:44:32.780><c> going</c><00:44:32.960><c> to</c><00:44:33.119><c> do</c><00:44:33.239><c> for</c><00:44:33.519><c> me?</c>

00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:36.340
That's<00:44:34.739><c> what</c><00:44:34.900><c> we</c><00:44:35.199><c> say.</c>

00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:39.840
That's<00:44:38.559><c> what</c><00:44:38.719><c> we</c><00:44:38.980><c> say.</c>

00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:44.000
And<00:44:40.539><c> that's</c><00:44:40.719><c> one</c><00:44:40.840><c> of</c><00:44:40.940><c> the</c><00:44:41.219><c> biggest</c><00:44:41.460><c> sources</c><00:44:41.960><c> of</c><00:44:42.280><c> faithlessness</c><00:44:43.019><c> within</c><00:44:43.739><c> the</c>

00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:45.480
occlusion<00:44:44.260><c> of</c><00:44:44.500><c> God.</c>

00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:48.880
Look<00:44:47.559><c> at</c><00:44:47.679><c> all</c><00:44:47.880><c> the</c><00:44:48.039><c> things</c><00:44:48.199><c> I've</c><00:44:48.739><c> done.</c>

00:44:48.940 --> 00:44:51.559
Now,<00:44:49.159><c> what's</c><00:44:49.559><c> God</c><00:44:49.739><c> done</c><00:44:50.000><c> for</c><00:44:50.400><c> me?</c>

00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:55.639
We<00:44:53.519><c> turn</c><00:44:53.739><c> it</c><00:44:54.019><c> all</c><00:44:54.199><c> back</c><00:44:54.460><c> to</c><00:44:54.679><c> front.</c>

00:44:56.780 --> 00:44:58.260
They<00:44:56.920><c> are</c><00:44:57.239><c> complementary</c><00:44:57.780><c> ideas.</c>

00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:01.780
God<00:44:58.840><c> delivers</c><00:44:59.679><c> through</c><00:45:00.519><c> His</c><00:45:00.880><c> servants.</c>

00:45:01.860 --> 00:45:04.480
We<00:45:02.260><c> put</c><00:45:02.500><c> those</c><00:45:02.900><c> ideas</c><00:45:03.260><c> into</c><00:45:03.579><c> collision</c><00:45:03.980><c> and</c><00:45:04.280><c> say,</c>

00:45:04.860 --> 00:45:07.039
I've<00:45:05.239><c> delivered</c><00:45:05.619><c> and</c><00:45:05.900><c> God</c><00:45:06.139><c> owes</c><00:45:06.400><c> me</c><00:45:06.679><c> something.</c>

00:45:07.260 --> 00:45:11.699
And<00:45:07.579><c> when</c><00:45:07.880><c> God</c><00:45:08.239><c> doesn't</c><00:45:08.699><c> give</c><00:45:08.940><c> us</c><00:45:09.199><c> what</c><00:45:09.400><c> we</c><00:45:09.760><c> think</c><00:45:09.980><c> we</c><00:45:10.400><c> deserve,</c>

00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:14.380
you<00:45:13.199><c> know</c><00:45:13.300><c> what</c><00:45:13.440><c> happens?</c>

00:45:17.019 --> 00:45:18.599
We<00:45:17.739><c> murmur.</c>

00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:22.659
And<00:45:21.960><c> I'll</c><00:45:22.119><c> tell</c><00:45:22.260><c> you</c><00:45:22.400><c> something.</c>

00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:24.699
God<00:45:23.079><c> hates</c><00:45:23.440><c> murmuring.</c>

00:45:25.460 --> 00:45:28.559
God<00:45:25.699><c> absolutely</c><00:45:26.420><c> hates</c><00:45:27.099><c> murmuring.</c>

00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:30.599
It's<00:45:29.480><c> equivalent</c><00:45:29.760><c> to</c><00:45:30.099><c> rebellion.</c>

00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:33.219
We're<00:45:31.099><c> going</c><00:45:31.219><c> to</c><00:45:31.320><c> see</c><00:45:31.679><c> a</c><00:45:31.860><c> little</c><00:45:32.019><c> later.</c>

00:45:34.139 --> 00:45:36.280
It's<00:45:34.420><c> the</c><00:45:34.659><c> same</c><00:45:34.980><c> as</c><00:45:35.500><c> faithlessness.</c>

00:45:36.500 --> 00:45:37.039
You<00:45:36.639><c> know</c><00:45:36.780><c> why?</c>

00:45:37.179 --> 00:45:39.980
I'll<00:45:37.400><c> just</c><00:45:37.780><c> briefly</c><00:45:38.239><c> point</c><00:45:38.739><c> out</c><00:45:38.940><c> why.</c>

00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:43.739
We<00:45:42.679><c> murmur.</c>

00:45:44.179 --> 00:45:46.400
I<00:45:44.340><c> don't</c><00:45:44.579><c> like</c><00:45:44.739><c> the</c><00:45:44.880><c> way</c><00:45:45.059><c> things</c><00:45:45.280><c> are</c><00:45:45.480><c> done</c><00:45:45.739><c> around</c><00:45:46.059><c> here.</c>

00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:48.039
I<00:45:46.840><c> don't</c><00:45:47.119><c> like</c><00:45:47.360><c> the</c><00:45:47.619><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:45:48.099 --> 00:45:49.420
I<00:45:48.179><c> don't</c><00:45:48.400><c> like</c><00:45:48.599><c> the</c><00:45:48.800><c> arranging</c><00:45:49.199><c> brethren.</c>

00:45:49.500 --> 00:45:51.519
They<00:45:49.619><c> don't</c><00:45:49.820><c> listen</c><00:45:50.159><c> to</c><00:45:50.400><c> me.</c>

00:45:53.300 --> 00:45:56.579
I<00:45:53.860><c> don't</c><00:45:54.179><c> like</c><00:45:54.400><c> the</c><00:45:54.519><c> way</c><00:45:54.780><c> God's</c><00:45:55.239><c> running</c><00:45:55.559><c> His</c><00:45:56.019><c> providence</c><00:45:56.400><c> in</c>

00:45:56.579 --> 00:45:57.980
my<00:45:56.920><c> life.</c>

00:45:58.860 --> 00:46:00.519
Isn't<00:45:59.320><c> that</c><00:45:59.599><c> pride?</c>

00:46:02.780 --> 00:46:05.099
It's<00:46:03.380><c> not</c><00:46:03.639><c> service.</c>

00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:07.980
Look,<00:46:06.639><c> brethren</c><00:46:06.960><c> and</c><00:46:07.280><c> sisters,</c>

00:46:08.579 --> 00:46:12.400
God,<00:46:09.559><c> whether</c><00:46:09.840><c> you</c><00:46:10.239><c> like</c><00:46:10.480><c> it</c><00:46:10.639><c> and</c><00:46:10.800><c> whether</c><00:46:11.039><c> I</c><00:46:11.320><c> like</c><00:46:11.519><c> it</c><00:46:11.719><c> or</c><00:46:11.900><c> not,</c>

00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:15.219

00:50:01.300 --> 00:50:08.699
His<00:50:01.820><c> son</c><00:50:02.340><c> is</c><00:50:03.599><c> in</c><00:50:03.719><c> the</c><00:50:03.960><c> truth</c><00:50:04.440><c> and</c><00:50:06.000><c> his</c><00:50:07.820><c> children</c><00:50:08.079><c> are</c><00:50:08.340><c> also</c><00:50:08.519><c> in</c>

the<00:50:08.840><c> truth.</c>

00:50:11.619 --> 00:50:14.300
But<00:50:12.579><c> it</c><00:50:12.719><c> had</c><00:50:12.860><c> to</c><00:50:13.099><c> be</c><00:50:13.320><c> said.</c>

Strength<00:50:16.139><c> and</c><00:50:16.860><c> courage</c><00:50:17.679><c> are</c><00:50:18.980><c> necessary</c><00:50:19.519><c> for</c><00:50:19.860><c> leaders.</c>

00:50:22.460 --> 00:50:26.719
Well,<00:50:22.840><c> let's</c><00:50:23.239><c> go</c><00:50:24.059><c> to</c><00:50:24.320><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:50:24.780><c> chapter</c><00:50:25.239><c> 34.</c>

00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:35.300
This<00:50:33.360><c> is</c><00:50:33.679><c> a</c><00:50:33.800><c> sad</c><00:50:33.940><c> occasion.</c>

00:50:38.139 --> 00:50:47.900
You<00:50:38.760><c> know,</c><00:50:40.460><c> we're</c><00:50:40.579><c> all</c><00:50:41.679><c> bold</c><00:50:44.519><c> and</c><00:50:44.840><c> we're</c><00:50:44.940><c> all</c><00:50:45.239><c> courageous</c><00:50:46.059><c> when</c><00:50:47.360><c> there's</c><00:50:47.699><c> a</c>

00:50:51.659 --> 00:50:54.489
Moses<00:50:52.280><c> had</c><00:50:52.800><c> been</c><00:50:52.980><c> there</c><00:50:53.159><c> for</c><00:50:53.380><c> 40</c><00:50:53.679><c> years.</c>

00:50:56.019 --> 00:50:59.139
He<00:50:56.059><c> was</c><00:50:56.239><c> a</c><00:50:56.440><c> craggy</c><00:50:56.820><c> sort</c><00:50:56.920><c> of</c><00:50:57.119><c> a</c><00:50:57.239><c> bloke</c><00:50:57.400><c> in</c><00:50:57.559><c> many</c><00:50:57.800><c> ways.</c>

00:50:59.860 --> 00:51:02.550
A<00:50:59.960><c> bit</c><00:51:00.059><c> of</c><00:51:00.480><c> steer,</c><00:51:00.840><c> a</c><00:51:01.000><c> bit</c><00:51:01.119><c> remote</c><00:51:01.739><c> even.</c>

00:51:02.769 --> 00:51:06.789
But<00:51:03.309><c> he</c><00:51:03.389><c> was</c><00:51:03.610><c> always</c><00:51:04.110><c> there</c><00:51:04.650><c> and</c><00:51:04.829><c> he</c><00:51:05.190><c> loved</c><00:51:05.449><c> the</c><00:51:05.710><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:51:07.210 --> 00:51:09.969
He<00:51:07.469><c> interceded</c><00:51:08.170><c> for</c><00:51:08.329><c> the</c><00:51:08.530><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:51:11.170 --> 00:51:14.800
And<00:51:11.389><c> whilst</c><00:51:11.650><c> he</c><00:51:11.789><c> was</c><00:51:12.050><c> there,</c><00:51:12.449><c> all</c><00:51:12.789><c> was</c><00:51:13.070><c> right</c><00:51:13.449><c> with</c><00:51:13.710><c> the</c><00:51:14.030><c> world.</c>

00:51:20.590 --> 00:51:23.170
And<00:51:20.730><c> it</c><00:51:20.789><c> wasn't</c><00:51:21.070><c> as</c><00:51:21.309><c> though</c><00:51:21.570><c> there</c><00:51:21.769><c> was</c><00:51:21.989><c> any</c><00:51:22.369><c> prelude</c><00:51:22.789><c> to</c><00:51:23.010><c> his</c>

00:51:28.230 --> 00:51:29.690
He<00:51:28.510><c> just</c><00:51:28.849><c> died.</c>

00:51:30.250 --> 00:51:31.989
We<00:51:30.889><c> know</c><00:51:31.170><c> that.</c>

00:51:34.150 --> 00:51:37.889
And<00:51:34.789><c> there's</c><00:51:35.090><c> this</c><00:51:35.849><c> massive</c><00:51:36.590><c> vacuum.</c>

00:51:38.469 --> 00:51:40.690
I<00:51:38.730><c> don't</c><00:51:38.909><c> know</c><00:51:39.010><c> whether</c><00:51:39.190><c> you've</c><00:51:39.550><c> thought</c><00:51:39.670><c> about</c><00:51:39.889><c> this,</c><00:51:40.250><c> brethren</c><00:51:40.329><c> and</c><00:51:40.530><c> sisters,</c>

00:51:48.489 --> 00:51:50.070
Look<00:51:48.690><c> at</c><00:51:48.909><c> this.</c>

00:51:52.949 --> 00:51:54.469
Moses<00:51:53.269><c> is</c><00:51:53.590><c> gone.</c>

00:51:55.610 --> 00:52:02.289
You've<00:51:56.289><c> only</c><00:51:56.829><c> ever</c><00:51:57.590><c> known</c><00:51:58.329><c> Moses</c><00:51:58.889><c> in</c><00:51:59.250><c> your</c><00:51:59.550><c> life</c><00:52:00.050><c> as</c><00:52:00.989><c> the</c><00:52:01.389><c> leader.</c>

00:52:02.449 --> 00:52:05.590
Of<00:52:02.690><c> course,</c><00:52:02.969><c> God</c><00:52:03.409><c> is</c><00:52:04.050><c> the</c><00:52:04.309><c> leader</c><00:52:04.469><c> in</c><00:52:04.690><c> that</c><00:52:04.889><c> sense,</c><00:52:05.010><c> but</c><00:52:05.170><c> in</c><00:52:05.309><c> an</c>

Look,<00:52:11.269><c> I</c><00:52:11.730><c> know,</c><00:52:12.550><c> and</c><00:52:12.670><c> I'm</c><00:52:12.869><c> not</c><00:52:12.869><c> going</c><00:52:13.030><c> to</c><00:52:13.150><c> embarrass</c><00:52:13.489><c> anybody,</c>

00:52:23.949 --> 00:52:26.510
there<00:52:24.130><c> would</c><00:52:24.349><c> be</c><00:52:24.489><c> this</c><00:52:24.849><c> enormous</c><00:52:25.710><c> vacuum.</c>

00:52:27.289 --> 00:52:30.710
And<00:52:27.550><c> you</c><00:52:27.710><c> really</c><00:52:27.989><c> don't</c><00:52:28.309><c> know</c><00:52:28.650><c> which</c><00:52:28.889><c> way</c><00:52:29.090><c> the</c><00:52:29.309><c> Ecclesia</c><00:52:29.610><c> would</c><00:52:29.929><c> go</c>

00:52:39.070 --> 00:52:40.449
Well,<00:52:39.289><c> Moses</c><00:52:39.650><c> is</c><00:52:39.929><c> now</c><00:52:40.210><c> gone.</c>

00:53:02.530 --> 00:53:05.570
They<00:53:03.170><c> had</c><00:53:03.590><c> little</c><00:53:04.289><c> fighting</c><00:53:04.750><c> experience.</c>

He's<00:55:12.300><c> dead.</c>

00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:17.219
It's<00:55:16.079><c> you.</c>

Just<00:55:24.460><c> like</c><00:55:25.059><c> Moses</c><00:55:25.599><c> said.</c>

00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:32.840
Look,<00:55:30.960><c> I'd</c><00:55:31.400><c> tremble,</c><00:55:31.860><c> brethren</c><00:55:31.940><c> and</c><00:55:32.219><c> sisters.</c>

00:55:33.099 --> 00:55:35.880
This<00:55:33.420><c> is</c><00:55:33.579><c> all</c><00:55:33.820><c> about</c><00:55:34.119><c> strength</c><00:55:34.599><c> and</c><00:55:34.820><c> courage,</c><00:55:35.280><c> chapter</c><00:55:35.519><c> 1.</c>

00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:38.179
I<00:55:36.460><c> would</c><00:55:36.639><c> be</c><00:55:36.840><c> a</c><00:55:36.960><c> little</c><00:55:37.119><c> bit</c><00:55:37.360><c> worried.</c>

00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:41.300
And<00:55:38.820><c> look,</c><00:55:39.019><c> we've</c><00:55:39.500><c> seen</c><00:55:39.699><c> the</c><00:55:39.980><c> strength</c><00:55:40.280><c> and</c><00:55:40.480><c> courage</c><00:55:40.739><c> of</c><00:55:40.920><c> Joshua,</c>

00:55:41.599 --> 00:55:45.659
but<00:55:41.780><c> it's</c><00:55:42.260><c> always</c><00:55:42.940><c> as</c><00:55:43.420><c> the</c><00:55:43.820><c> servant</c><00:55:44.199><c> of</c><00:55:44.579><c> Moses.</c>

00:55:48.139 --> 00:55:50.539
Now<00:55:48.659><c> he's</c><00:55:48.880><c> on</c><00:55:49.039><c> his</c><00:55:49.300><c> own.</c>

00:55:50.940 --> 00:55:55.400
And<00:55:51.579><c> that</c><00:55:51.940><c> takes</c><00:55:52.599><c> extra</c><00:55:53.380><c> strength</c><00:55:53.880><c> and</c><00:55:54.340><c> courage.</c>

00:55:55.679 --> 00:55:57.880
And<00:55:55.679><c> it's</c><00:55:56.199><c> repeated,</c><00:55:56.579><c> I</c><00:55:56.679><c> think</c><00:55:56.760><c> it's</c><00:55:56.900><c> about</c><00:55:57.119><c> six</c><00:55:57.380><c> times</c><00:55:57.719><c> in</c>

Be<00:55:59.000><c> strong</c><00:55:59.380><c> and</c><00:55:59.619><c> courageous,</c><00:56:00.300><c> Joshua.</c>

00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:02.079
Be<00:56:01.079><c> strong</c><00:56:01.420><c> and</c><00:56:01.719><c> courageous.</c>

00:56:02.340 --> 00:56:04.420
Don't<00:56:02.659><c> be</c><00:56:03.039><c> scared,</c><00:56:03.500><c> Joshua.</c>

00:56:05.159 --> 00:56:07.179
But<00:56:05.420><c> I</c><00:56:05.719><c> am</c><00:56:06.019><c> scared.</c>

00:56:08.059 --> 00:56:10.860
No,<00:56:08.699><c> I'm</c><00:56:09.340><c> with</c><00:56:09.619><c> you,</c><00:56:09.960><c> Joshua.</c>

00:56:10.980 --> 00:56:13.800
Believe<00:56:11.380><c> me,</c><00:56:12.500><c> it's</c><00:56:12.980><c> hard.</c>

00:56:14.059 --> 00:56:15.360
Keep<00:56:14.320><c> going.</c>

00:56:16.340 --> 00:56:18.099
And<00:56:16.519><c> maybe,</c><00:56:17.000><c> just</c><00:56:17.239><c> maybe,</c><00:56:17.699><c> brethren</c><00:56:17.820><c> and</c><00:56:18.059><c> sisters,</c>

00:56:24.079 --> 00:56:26.219
We'd<00:56:24.360><c> all</c><00:56:24.500><c> have</c><00:56:24.659><c> a</c><00:56:24.860><c> problem</c><00:56:25.039><c> in</c><00:56:25.219><c> this</c><00:56:25.420><c> area.</c>

00:56:26.619 --> 00:56:31.340
Maybe<00:56:26.900><c> he</c><00:56:27.159><c> really</c><00:56:27.579><c> was</c><00:56:28.059><c> inside</c><00:56:28.940><c> feeling</c><00:56:29.980><c> a</c><00:56:30.119><c> bit</c><00:56:30.260><c> uncomfortable.</c>

00:56:32.559 --> 00:56:34.880
Get<00:56:32.960><c> up,</c><00:56:33.360><c> I'm</c><00:56:33.780><c> with</c><00:56:34.159><c> you.</c>

If<01:06:54.719><c> they</c><01:06:54.860><c> can't</c><01:06:55.119><c> do</c><01:06:55.360><c> this,</c><01:06:55.920><c> they</c><01:06:56.119><c> don't</c><01:06:56.380><c> go.</c>
