I<00:09:37.440><c> mean,</c><00:09:37.620><c> how</c><00:09:37.820><c> could</c><00:09:38.039><c> the</c><00:09:38.220><c> sheep</c><00:09:38.399><c> react,</c><00:09:38.919><c> except</c><00:09:39.159><c> perhaps</c><00:09:39.580><c> in</c>

00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:54.480
He<00:09:52.879><c> was</c><00:09:53.240><c> just</c><00:09:53.460><c> an</c><00:09:53.659><c> animal.</c>

00:09:54.940 --> 00:09:57.120
The<00:09:55.139><c> coin,</c><00:09:55.440><c> why</c><00:09:55.700><c> that</c><00:09:55.899><c> couldn't</c><00:09:56.179><c> think</c><00:09:56.440><c> of</c><00:09:56.600><c> anything,</c><00:09:56.879><c> could</c><00:09:57.039><c> it?</c>

00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:04.960
And<00:10:01.740><c> so</c><00:10:02.039><c> the</c><00:10:02.299><c> third</c><00:10:02.620><c> parable</c><00:10:03.059><c> is</c><00:10:03.399><c> chosen,</c><00:10:04.059><c> brethren</c><00:10:04.159><c> and</c><00:10:04.440><c> sisters,</c><00:10:04.720><c> that</c>

00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:17.519
how<00:10:09.759><c> people</c><00:10:10.059><c> react</c><00:10:11.000><c> when</c><00:10:11.620><c> they're</c><00:10:11.860><c> lost</c><00:10:12.159><c> and</c><00:10:12.460><c> found,</c><00:10:14.279><c> how</c><00:10:14.639><c> people</c><00:10:15.000><c> react</c><00:10:15.600><c> when</c><00:10:15.840><c> they're</c><00:10:16.120><c> lost</c><00:10:16.600><c> and</c><00:10:17.299><c> they</c>

00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:43.960
Now,<00:10:39.179><c> we've</c><00:10:39.340><c> only</c><00:10:39.600><c> got</c><00:10:40.340><c> two</c><00:10:40.700><c> nights</c><00:10:41.539><c> at</c><00:10:42.440><c> our</c><00:10:42.679><c> disposal,</c><00:10:43.419><c> brethren</c><00:10:43.659><c> and</c>

You<00:22:00.339><c> say,</c><00:22:00.460><c> oh,</c><00:22:00.920><c> seems</c><00:22:01.140><c> obvious,</c><00:22:01.619><c> doesn't</c><00:22:01.740><c> it?</c>

00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:06.519
Yeah,<00:22:02.799><c> but</c><00:22:02.940><c> you</c><00:22:03.059><c> see,</c><00:22:03.279><c> the</c><00:22:03.460><c> Proverbs</c><00:22:03.779><c> says</c><00:22:04.019><c> this,</c><00:22:05.539><c> and</c><00:22:05.839><c> I</c><00:22:06.160><c> quote</c><00:22:06.299><c> this</c>

Look<00:35:28.820><c> at</c><00:35:28.920><c> the</c><00:35:29.119><c> proverb</c><00:35:29.260><c> we're</c><00:35:29.460><c> saying</c><00:35:29.639><c> about</c><00:35:29.900><c> this</c><00:35:30.139><c> sort</c><00:35:30.280><c> of</c><00:35:30.440><c> thing.</c>

00:35:31.940 --> 00:35:36.480
And<00:35:32.159><c> the</c><00:35:32.300><c> record</c><00:35:32.619><c> says</c><00:35:33.280><c> he</c><00:35:34.460><c> spent</c><00:35:34.699><c> it</c><00:35:34.920><c> all.</c>

Unbelievable.

00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:24.739
Nothing.

00:36:26.619 --> 00:36:28.000
Absolutely<00:36:27.059><c> nothing.</c>

00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:30.420
But<00:36:28.619><c> this</c><00:36:28.940><c> kid's</c><00:36:29.199><c> going</c><00:36:29.320><c> to</c><00:36:29.420><c> learn</c><00:36:29.559><c> something.</c>

00:36:50.579 --> 00:36:51.940
because<00:36:50.880><c> they</c><00:36:51.039><c> don't</c><00:36:51.219><c> want</c><00:36:51.340><c> to</c><00:36:51.480><c> talk</c><00:36:51.599><c> to</c><00:36:51.679><c> you</c><00:36:51.780><c> about</c><00:36:51.880><c> it.</c>

00:36:51.940 --> 00:36:52.880
But<00:36:52.039><c> you</c><00:36:52.139><c> go</c><00:36:52.280><c> and</c><00:36:52.460><c> talk</c><00:36:52.619><c> to</c><00:36:52.739><c> them.</c>

00:37:10.659 --> 00:37:12.579
But<00:37:10.820><c> if</c><00:37:10.920><c> he</c><00:37:11.059><c> does</c><00:37:11.280><c> want</c><00:37:11.519><c> you,</c>

00:37:23.659 --> 00:37:25.940
That's<00:37:23.900><c> what</c><00:37:23.960><c> this</c><00:37:24.139><c> young</c><00:37:24.320><c> fella's</c><00:37:24.559><c> going</c><00:37:24.699><c> to</c><00:37:24.800><c> learn</c><00:37:24.960><c> in</c><00:37:25.119><c> him.</c>

00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:29.860
He's<00:37:27.139><c> going</c><00:37:27.219><c> to</c><00:37:27.320><c> learn</c><00:37:27.440><c> that,</c><00:37:27.679><c> young</c><00:37:27.920><c> people,</c><00:37:28.460><c> the</c><00:37:28.659><c> hard</c><00:37:28.980><c> way.</c>

00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:37.260
And<00:37:35.760><c> isn't</c><00:37:35.940><c> it</c><00:37:36.159><c> significant</c><00:37:36.619><c> in</c><00:37:36.800><c> the</c><00:37:37.019><c> parable</c>

00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:43.780
That's<00:37:42.340><c> God's</c><00:37:42.820><c> method</c><00:37:43.079><c> of</c><00:37:43.260><c> doing</c><00:37:43.480><c> things.</c>

00:37:49.780 --> 00:37:51.000

00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:02.500
He<00:38:01.559><c> poured</c><00:38:01.739><c> a</c><00:38:01.980><c> famine</c><00:38:02.139><c> upon</c><00:38:02.380><c> them.</c>

00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:12.219
So<00:38:09.900><c> in</c><00:38:10.079><c> Amos</c><00:38:10.340><c> 4,</c><00:38:10.840><c> in</c><00:38:10.940><c> verse</c><00:38:11.119><c> 6,</c><00:38:11.840><c> God</c><00:38:12.039><c> said,</c>

00:38:16.940 --> 00:38:19.599
It<00:38:17.340><c> meant</c><00:38:17.639><c> that</c><00:38:17.860><c> they</c><00:38:18.039><c> had</c><00:38:18.219><c> nothing</c><00:38:18.480><c> to</c><00:38:18.800><c> eat.</c>

00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:22.639
You<00:38:21.019><c> didn't</c><00:38:21.219><c> have</c><00:38:21.340><c> anything</c><00:38:21.480><c> to</c><00:38:21.480><c> eat,</c><00:38:21.699><c> he</c><00:38:21.940><c> said.</c>

00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.920
In<00:38:23.099><c> all</c><00:38:23.360><c> your</c><00:38:23.559><c> cities</c><00:38:23.820><c> and</c><00:38:24.340><c> want</c><00:38:24.579><c> of</c><00:38:24.760><c> bread</c><00:38:24.920><c> and</c><00:38:25.119><c> all</c><00:38:25.219><c> your</c><00:38:25.539><c> palaces,</c>

00:38:26.179 --> 00:38:28.059

Seth<00:38:28.659><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:38:29.340 --> 00:38:31.300
So<00:38:29.400><c> the</c><00:38:29.460><c> point</c><00:38:29.739><c> was</c><00:38:30.179><c> return.</c>

00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:34.800
because<00:38:33.179><c> God</c><00:38:33.440><c> likes</c><00:38:33.800><c> emaciated</c><00:38:34.400><c> people.</c>

00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:36.539
He<00:38:35.139><c> wanted</c><00:38:35.380><c> them</c><00:38:35.559><c> to</c><00:38:35.639><c> come</c><00:38:36.019><c> back</c><00:38:36.260><c> to</c><00:38:36.360><c> him.</c>

00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:39.780

you<00:39:41.420><c> were</c><00:39:41.539><c> to</c><00:39:41.800><c> respond</c><00:39:42.019><c> because</c><00:39:42.480><c> I</c><00:39:42.780><c> would</c><00:39:42.920><c> have</c><00:39:43.219><c> thought</c>

00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:44.840
that<00:39:43.760><c> you'd</c><00:39:44.019><c> have</c><00:39:44.139><c> think</c><00:39:44.280><c> to</c><00:39:44.480><c> yourself,</c>

00:39:44.900 --> 00:39:47.139
well,<00:39:45.559><c> those</c><00:39:45.800><c> four</c><00:39:46.320><c> different</c><00:39:46.739><c> calamities</c>

00:39:47.139 --> 00:39:48.840
that<00:39:47.340><c> came</c><00:39:47.460><c> upon</c><00:39:47.739><c> me,</c><00:39:47.980><c> I've</c><00:39:48.199><c> been</c><00:39:48.400><c> rescued.</c>

00:39:49.260 --> 00:39:50.280
I<00:39:49.440><c> thought</c><00:39:49.639><c> perhaps,</c><00:39:50.139><c> well,</c>

00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:53.519
they<00:39:50.699><c> might</c><00:39:51.000><c> realize</c><00:39:51.500><c> how</c><00:39:51.739><c> good</c><00:39:51.920><c> I</c><00:39:52.159><c> am</c><00:39:52.360><c> and</c><00:39:52.679><c> return</c><00:39:52.980><c> under</c><00:39:53.159><c> me.</c>

00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:55.219
But<00:39:53.780><c> they</c><00:39:53.980><c> didn't</c><00:39:54.380><c> return</c><00:39:54.780><c> under</c><00:39:54.960><c> him.</c>

00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:56.500
Therefore,<00:39:55.940><c> he</c><00:39:56.199><c> says,</c>

00:39:56.579 --> 00:39:59.000
prepare<00:39:56.940><c> to</c><00:39:57.099><c> meet</c><00:39:57.260><c> your</c><00:39:57.559><c> God,</c><00:39:57.880><c> O</c><00:39:58.019><c> Israel.</c>

00:40:00.460 --> 00:40:03.500
God<00:40:00.619><c> doesn't</c><00:40:00.860><c> go</c><00:40:01.099><c> beyond</c><00:40:01.460><c> the</c><00:40:01.639><c> fifth</c><00:40:01.940><c> time,</c><00:40:02.599><c> does</c><00:40:02.699><c> he?</c>

00:40:05.619 --> 00:40:07.039
Doesn't<00:40:05.739><c> go</c><00:40:05.960><c> beyond</c><00:40:06.239><c> that.</c>

00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:10.699
See<00:40:09.500><c> the</c><00:40:09.880><c> point?</c>

00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:13.579
That<00:40:11.559><c> God's</c><00:40:11.920><c> grace</c><00:40:12.119><c> is</c><00:40:12.320><c> wonderful,</c>

00:40:14.059 --> 00:40:16.920
but<00:40:14.659><c> it's</c><00:40:14.980><c> not</c><00:40:15.340><c> inexhaustible.</c>

00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:21.260
Therefore,<00:40:19.460><c> prepare</c><00:40:19.900><c> to</c><00:40:20.079><c> meet</c><00:40:20.280><c> your</c><00:40:20.460><c> God.</c>

00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:24.400
But<00:40:21.960><c> the</c><00:40:22.199><c> point</c><00:40:22.360><c> we</c><00:40:22.519><c> were</c><00:40:22.659><c> making</c><00:40:22.940><c> through</c><00:40:23.199><c> all</c><00:40:23.380><c> of</c><00:40:23.559><c> there</c>

00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:26.159
is<00:40:24.920><c> that</c><00:40:25.139><c> all</c><00:40:25.380><c> these</c><00:40:25.739><c> extremities</c>

00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:28.260
that<00:40:26.380><c> came</c><00:40:26.559><c> upon</c><00:40:26.800><c> the</c><00:40:27.059><c> people</c><00:40:27.280><c> of</c><00:40:27.500><c> God</c>

00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:30.559
were<00:40:29.000><c> for</c><00:40:29.219><c> one</c><00:40:29.639><c> single</c><00:40:29.980><c> purpose,</c>

00:40:31.019 --> 00:40:33.719
to<00:40:31.380><c> get</c><00:40:31.579><c> them</c><00:40:31.840><c> to</c><00:40:32.119><c> come</c><00:40:32.380><c> back</c><00:40:32.619><c> to</c><00:40:32.840><c> him.</c>

00:40:34.820 --> 00:40:37.099
And<00:40:35.039><c> that's</c><00:40:35.380><c> precisely,</c><00:40:35.860><c> of</c><00:40:36.119><c> course,</c>

00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:41.079
why<00:40:37.840><c> the</c><00:40:38.099><c> famine</c><00:40:38.260><c> was</c><00:40:38.559><c> sent</c><00:40:38.880><c> upon</c><00:40:39.219><c> this</c><00:40:39.400><c> young</c><00:40:39.699><c> fellow,</c><00:40:40.079><c> wasn't</c><00:40:40.320><c> it?</c>

00:40:42.099 --> 00:40:44.079
When<00:40:42.280><c> he'd</c><00:40:42.440><c> gone,</c><00:40:42.559><c> all</c><00:40:42.780><c> his</c><00:40:42.940><c> money</c><00:40:43.199><c> was</c><00:40:43.420><c> gone.</c>

00:40:44.539 --> 00:40:47.400
Nothing,<00:40:45.280><c> couldn't</c><00:40:45.579><c> buy</c><00:40:45.940><c> anything</c><00:40:46.260><c> now.</c>

00:40:48.019 --> 00:40:49.960
Can't<00:40:48.219><c> go</c><00:40:48.340><c> to</c><00:40:48.440><c> the</c><00:40:48.679><c> shop</c><00:40:48.900><c> anymore.</c>

00:40:51.059 --> 00:40:53.739
And<00:40:51.460><c> there's</c><00:40:51.679><c> nothing</c><00:40:51.960><c> outside</c><00:40:52.500><c> either.</c>

00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:56.360
And<00:40:54.380><c> God</c><00:40:54.639><c> is</c><00:40:55.059><c> asking</c><00:40:55.420><c> him</c><00:40:55.619><c> to</c><00:40:55.760><c> come</c><00:40:55.920><c> home.</c>

00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:58.179
That's<00:40:57.039><c> what</c><00:40:57.159><c> he's</c><00:40:57.360><c> doing.</c>

00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:03.099
And<00:41:00.320><c> the</c><00:41:00.480><c> record</c><00:41:00.699><c> says</c><00:41:00.900><c> he</c><00:41:01.099><c> began</c><00:41:01.619><c> to</c><00:41:01.900><c> be</c><00:41:02.099><c> in</c><00:41:02.400><c> want.</c>

00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.320
There's<00:41:05.199><c> a</c><00:41:05.340><c> wonderful</c><00:41:05.659><c> principle</c><00:41:06.119><c> involved</c><00:41:06.519><c> in</c><00:41:06.719><c> that,</c><00:41:07.820><c> you</c><00:41:07.820><c> know.</c>

00:41:09.059 --> 00:41:10.800
You<00:41:09.239><c> think</c><00:41:09.480><c> about</c><00:41:09.760><c> it.</c>

00:41:12.420 --> 00:41:13.960
Why<00:41:12.659><c> did</c><00:41:12.780><c> he</c><00:41:12.940><c> begin</c><00:41:13.139><c> to</c><00:41:13.320><c> be</c><00:41:13.480><c> in</c><00:41:13.659><c> want?</c>

00:41:14.420 --> 00:41:15.739
Well,<00:41:14.579><c> you</c><00:41:14.679><c> say</c><00:41:14.820><c> because</c><00:41:15.019><c> he</c><00:41:15.179><c> lost</c><00:41:15.340><c> his</c><00:41:15.539><c> money</c>

00:41:15.739 --> 00:41:16.780
and<00:41:15.860><c> because</c><00:41:16.079><c> there</c><00:41:16.219><c> was</c><00:41:16.360><c> a</c><00:41:16.559><c> famine.</c>

00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:18.219
Yes,<00:41:17.139><c> that's</c><00:41:17.420><c> right.</c>

00:41:18.500 --> 00:41:21.639
But<00:41:19.019><c> you</c><00:41:19.239><c> see,</c><00:41:19.559><c> he</c><00:41:19.699><c> had</c><00:41:20.059><c> exhausted,</c><00:41:20.539><c> hadn't</c><00:41:20.880><c> he,</c>

00:41:22.699 --> 00:41:24.380
all<00:41:22.880><c> his</c><00:41:23.119><c> fleshly</c><00:41:23.559><c> pleasures.</c>

00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:26.519
He<00:41:24.780><c> had</c><00:41:25.139><c> served</c><00:41:25.420><c> his</c><00:41:25.739><c> flesh.</c>

00:41:26.900 --> 00:41:28.699
But<00:41:26.960><c> what's</c><00:41:27.260><c> he</c><00:41:27.380><c> got</c><00:41:27.519><c> in</c><00:41:27.659><c> return?</c>

00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:30.300
Now,<00:41:29.480><c> you</c><00:41:29.619><c> think</c><00:41:29.820><c> about</c><00:41:30.059><c> it.</c>

00:41:30.420 --> 00:41:32.599
You<00:41:30.559><c> come</c><00:41:30.880><c> to</c><00:41:31.219><c> me</c><00:41:31.219><c> with</c><00:41:31.400><c> me</c><00:41:31.519><c> to</c><00:41:31.679><c> Romans</c><00:41:31.940><c> chapter</c><00:41:32.340><c> 8.</c>

00:41:33.019 --> 00:41:34.719
I<00:41:33.280><c> just</c><00:41:33.559><c> thought</c><00:41:33.679><c> we</c><00:41:33.840><c> might</c><00:41:34.059><c> extrapolate</c>

00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:36.219
these<00:41:34.980><c> principles</c><00:41:35.340><c> that</c><00:41:35.519><c> are</c><00:41:35.619><c> in</c><00:41:35.719><c> this</c><00:41:35.960><c> parable.</c>

00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:38.159
It's<00:41:36.599><c> good</c><00:41:36.820><c> to</c><00:41:37.019><c> think</c><00:41:37.179><c> about</c><00:41:37.400><c> them.</c>

00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:40.000
You<00:41:38.719><c> think</c><00:41:38.980><c> about</c><00:41:39.239><c> this.</c>

00:41:41.900 --> 00:41:43.960
Paul<00:41:42.139><c> speaks</c><00:41:42.480><c> in</c><00:41:42.659><c> Romans</c><00:41:42.980><c> 8</c><00:41:43.199><c> about</c>

00:41:44.059 --> 00:41:46.219
the<00:41:44.579><c> life</c><00:41:44.860><c> of</c><00:41:45.179><c> freedom</c><00:41:45.360><c> we</c><00:41:45.579><c> have</c><00:41:45.699><c> in</c><00:41:46.000><c> Christ.</c>

00:41:46.219 --> 00:41:48.320
Freedom<00:41:46.639><c> from</c><00:41:46.940><c> sin</c><00:41:47.219><c> because</c><00:41:47.539><c> we've</c><00:41:47.780><c> been</c><00:41:47.940><c> forgiven</c>

00:41:48.320 --> 00:41:50.059
and<00:41:48.539><c> the</c><00:41:48.699><c> goodness</c><00:41:49.019><c> of</c><00:41:49.219><c> God</c><00:41:49.460><c> in</c><00:41:49.579><c> our</c><00:41:49.800><c> lives.</c>

00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.099
And<00:41:50.559><c> we</c><00:41:50.679><c> therefore</c><00:41:50.980><c> ought</c><00:41:51.219><c> to</c><00:41:51.340><c> respond</c><00:41:51.820><c> to</c><00:41:52.000><c> that</c><00:41:52.199><c> goodness.</c>

00:41:53.820 --> 00:41:54.780
And<00:41:53.820><c> verse</c><00:41:54.079><c> 11,</c><00:41:54.539><c> he</c><00:41:54.539><c> says,</c>

00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:57.239
but<00:41:55.219><c> if</c><00:41:55.360><c> the</c><00:41:55.599><c> spirit</c><00:41:55.739><c> of</c><00:41:55.860><c> him</c><00:41:56.019><c> that</c><00:41:56.199><c> raised</c><00:41:56.480><c> up</c><00:41:56.699><c> Jesus</c><00:41:57.039><c> from</c>

00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:01.880
shall<00:42:00.280><c> also</c><00:42:00.739><c> quicken</c><00:42:00.980><c> your</c><00:42:01.260><c> mortal</c><00:42:01.519><c> bodies</c>

00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:03.480
by<00:42:02.159><c> his</c><00:42:02.420><c> spirit</c><00:42:02.619><c> that</c><00:42:02.940><c> dwelleth</c><00:42:03.159><c> in</c><00:42:03.300><c> you.</c>

00:42:03.659 --> 00:42:05.840
