He's<00:09:33.919><c> everything</c><00:09:34.559><c> his</c><00:09:35.019><c> Father</c><00:09:35.460><c> is.</c>

00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:39.059
There<00:09:37.059><c> is</c><00:09:37.500><c> nothing</c><00:09:37.899><c> more</c><00:09:38.220><c> that</c><00:09:38.440><c> God</c><00:09:38.580><c> could</c><00:09:38.860><c> do.</c>

00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:42.059
And<00:09:39.399><c> brothers</c><00:09:39.620><c> and</c><00:09:39.860><c> sisters,</c><00:09:40.279><c> if</c><00:09:40.299><c> that</c><00:09:40.620><c> doesn't</c><00:09:41.120><c> cause</c><00:09:41.500><c> us</c><00:09:41.860><c> to</c>

00:09:44.500 --> 00:09:47.399
There's<00:09:45.019><c> nothing</c><00:09:45.440><c> that</c><00:09:45.720><c> God</c><00:09:45.879><c> could</c><00:09:46.100><c> do</c><00:09:46.200><c> more</c><00:09:46.440><c> than</c><00:09:46.620><c> that.</c>

00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.299
So<00:09:47.940><c> there</c><00:09:48.100><c> was</c><00:09:48.320><c> the</c><00:09:48.500><c> one</c><00:09:48.700><c> thing</c><00:09:48.860><c> that</c><00:09:49.000><c> could</c><00:09:49.139><c> be</c><00:09:49.340><c> done.</c>

00:09:51.340 --> 00:09:53.720
Do<00:09:51.740><c> you</c><00:09:51.860><c> know</c><00:09:51.960><c> why</c><00:09:52.159><c> that</c><00:09:52.419><c> parable</c><00:09:52.580><c> was</c><00:09:52.799><c> given?</c>

00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.620

00:10:08.379 --> 00:10:10.399
And<00:10:08.580><c> they</c><00:10:08.720><c> said,</c><00:10:08.879><c> who</c><00:10:09.200><c> told</c><00:10:09.460><c> you</c><00:10:09.600><c> you</c><00:10:09.820><c> could</c><00:10:09.820><c> do</c><00:10:10.019><c> such</c><00:10:10.220><c> a</c><00:10:10.340><c> thing?</c>

00:10:12.659 --> 00:10:14.779
And<00:10:12.840><c> he</c><00:10:12.960><c> put</c><00:10:13.120><c> forth</c><00:10:13.399><c> a</c><00:10:13.559><c> question</c><00:10:13.840><c> about</c><00:10:14.120><c> John</c><00:10:14.360><c> the</c><00:10:14.519><c> Baptist.</c>

00:10:19.139 --> 00:10:20.519
And<00:10:19.220><c> they</c><00:10:19.379><c> couldn't</c><00:10:19.679><c> answer</c><00:10:20.039><c> it.</c>

00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.700
And<00:10:20.919><c> people</c><00:10:21.100><c> think</c><00:10:21.379><c> that</c><00:10:21.620><c> Jesus,</c><00:10:22.019><c> you</c><00:10:22.500><c> know,</c>

00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.519
It's<00:11:00.879><c> a</c><00:11:01.080><c> marvellous</c><00:11:01.500><c> chapter,</c><00:11:01.940><c> isn't</c><00:11:02.120><c> it?</c>

00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:33.639
And<00:14:28.399><c> he</c><00:14:28.500><c> talked</c><00:14:28.799><c> about</c><00:14:30.179><c> the</c><00:14:30.379><c> Horta</c><00:14:30.559><c> here</c><00:14:30.799><c> that</c><00:14:31.600><c> is</c><00:14:31.860><c> involved</c><00:14:32.340><c> in</c><00:14:32.519><c> a</c><00:14:32.620><c> vineyard.</c>

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:38.059
And<00:14:34.259><c> he</c><00:14:34.460><c> says,</c><00:14:35.120><c> his</c><00:14:35.179><c> father,</c><00:14:35.639><c> of</c><00:14:35.679><c> course,</c><00:14:36.299><c> is</c><00:14:36.440><c> a</c><00:14:36.940><c> master</c><00:14:37.519><c> at</c>

these<00:14:38.379><c> things.</c>

00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.879
Every<00:14:40.179><c> branch</c><00:14:40.580><c> in</c><00:14:40.919><c> me,</c><00:14:41.120><c> he</c><00:14:41.360><c> said</c><00:14:41.539><c> in</c><00:14:42.039><c> verse</c><00:14:42.440><c> 1,</c>

00:14:47.259 --> 00:14:50.320
So<00:14:47.600><c> the</c><00:14:47.799><c> first</c><00:14:48.039><c> thing</c><00:14:48.600><c> the</c><00:14:49.059><c> farmer</c><00:14:49.259><c> does</c><00:14:49.580><c> is</c><00:14:49.779><c> to</c><00:14:49.899><c> get</c><00:14:50.039><c> rid</c><00:14:50.179><c> of</c>

00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.679
It's<00:14:52.139><c> no</c><00:14:52.340><c> good</c><00:14:52.539><c> just</c><00:14:52.820><c> growing</c><00:14:53.259><c> branches,</c><00:14:54.019><c> brothers</c><00:14:54.179><c> and</c><00:14:54.460><c> sisters,</c>

00:15:03.299 --> 00:15:06.440
Why<00:15:03.679><c> would</c><00:15:03.860><c> you</c><00:15:04.019><c> put</c><00:15:04.259><c> up</c><00:15:04.440><c> with</c><00:15:04.840><c> a</c><00:15:05.120><c> thing</c><00:15:05.360><c> that</c><00:15:05.940><c> the</c><00:15:06.179><c> tendrils</c>

00:15:10.340 --> 00:15:12.980
Well,<00:15:10.799><c> Judas</c><00:15:10.899><c> is</c><00:15:11.200><c> gone</c><00:15:11.480><c> out</c><00:15:11.639><c> of</c><00:15:11.700><c> that</c><00:15:11.960><c> room.</c>

He's<00:15:20.299><c> an</c><00:15:20.539><c> encumbrance.</c>

00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.679
What<00:15:39.899><c> about</c><00:15:40.100><c> the</c><00:15:40.360><c> branches</c><00:15:40.539><c> that</c><00:15:40.759><c> are</c><00:15:40.919><c> left?</c>

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.379
Well,<00:15:43.259><c> they're</c><00:15:43.500><c> good</c><00:15:44.259><c> fruit</c><00:15:45.039><c>-bearing</c><00:15:45.379><c> branches,</c>

00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:49.860
but<00:15:46.940><c> they've</c><00:15:47.139><c> got</c><00:15:47.220><c> to</c><00:15:47.360><c> be</c><00:15:47.639><c> pruned.</c>

00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:52.360
Every<00:15:50.600><c> branch</c><00:15:50.980><c> that</c><00:15:51.240><c> beareth</c><00:15:51.480><c> fruit,</c><00:15:51.899><c> he</c><00:15:52.059><c> purges,</c>

00:16:01.940 --> 00:16:04.580
So<00:16:02.059><c> you</c><00:16:02.220><c> see,</c><00:16:02.340><c> he</c><00:16:02.480><c> is</c><00:16:02.740><c> interpreting</c><00:16:03.240><c> his</c><00:16:03.580><c> own</c><00:16:03.879><c> symbol,</c><00:16:04.159><c> isn't</c><00:16:04.320><c> he?</c>

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:07.279
He<00:16:05.039><c> didn't</c><00:16:05.240><c> use</c><00:16:05.460><c> the</c><00:16:05.639><c> word</c><00:16:05.779><c> for</c><00:16:06.039><c> pruning,</c><00:16:06.500><c> he</c><00:16:06.639><c> used</c><00:16:06.879><c> the</c><00:16:07.080><c> word</c>

00:16:11.539 --> 00:16:13.580
So,<00:16:12.139><c> brothers</c><00:16:12.179><c> and</c><00:16:12.460><c> sisters,</c><00:16:12.700><c> in</c><00:16:12.899><c> our</c><00:16:13.120><c> life,</c>

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.840
We<00:16:26.059><c> might</c><00:16:26.279><c> not</c><00:16:26.500><c> hurt</c><00:16:26.679><c> the</c><00:16:27.000><c> vine,</c><00:16:27.480><c> but</c><00:16:27.700><c> when</c><00:16:27.919><c> it</c><00:16:28.100><c> comes</c><00:16:28.440><c> to</c>

00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:50.799
Good,<00:16:47.240><c> because</c><00:16:47.659><c> it</c><00:16:48.539><c> will</c><00:16:48.840><c> improve</c><00:16:49.259><c> the</c><00:16:49.840><c> quality</c>

00:26:05.859 --> 00:26:07.519
So<00:26:06.079><c> you</c><00:26:06.220><c> see</c><00:26:06.319><c> what</c><00:26:06.400><c> he's</c><00:26:06.720><c> saying?</c>

00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:17.059
Now,<00:26:14.039><c> it's</c><00:26:14.400><c> a</c><00:26:14.599><c> vine</c><00:26:14.779><c> that</c><00:26:15.079><c> could</c><00:26:15.279><c> actually</c><00:26:15.720><c> move.</c>

00:26:18.859 --> 00:26:21.940

00:26:26.099 --> 00:26:30.380
But<00:26:26.579><c> if</c><00:26:26.799><c> we</c><00:26:27.059><c> get</c><00:26:27.240><c> out</c><00:26:27.720><c> of</c><00:26:28.160><c> the</c><00:26:28.400><c> proximity</c><00:26:28.839><c> of</c><00:26:29.119><c> God's</c><00:26:29.519><c> love,</c>

It's<00:26:32.579><c> gone.</c>

00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:38.279

Who<00:27:12.079><c> knows?</c>

00:27:33.579 --> 00:27:35.279
And<00:27:33.660><c> that's</c><00:27:33.759><c> what</c><00:27:33.920><c> Jesus</c><00:27:34.220><c> is</c><00:27:34.500><c> saying.</c>

00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:37.519
Don't<00:27:35.839><c> walk</c><00:27:36.059><c> out</c><00:27:36.200><c> of</c><00:27:36.259><c> the</c><00:27:36.420><c> vineyard.</c>

00:27:37.740 --> 00:27:44.220
Stay,<00:27:38.500><c> brothers</c><00:27:38.640><c> and</c><00:27:38.920><c> sisters,</c><00:27:40.960><c> within</c><00:27:41.180><c> the</c><00:27:41.740><c> orbit</c><00:27:42.200><c> of</c><00:27:42.900><c> that</c><00:27:43.119><c> vineyard.</c>

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:44.740
Why?

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:51.660
Because<00:27:45.039><c> he</c><00:27:45.180><c> says</c><00:27:45.660><c> you</c><00:27:46.339><c> can't</c><00:27:47.640><c> produce</c><00:27:48.339><c> fruit</c><00:27:49.000><c> on</c><00:27:50.319><c> your</c><00:27:50.599><c> own.</c>

00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:53.759
Israel<00:27:53.220><c> tried</c><00:27:53.599><c> it.</c>

00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:55.480
Come<00:27:54.119><c> back</c><00:27:54.319><c> to</c><00:27:54.460><c> Hosea.</c>

00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:59.759
Israel<00:27:57.480><c> tried</c><00:27:57.880><c> it,</c><00:27:58.200><c> brothers</c><00:27:58.279><c> and</c><00:27:58.559><c> sisters.</c>

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.559
They<00:28:00.359><c> walked</c><00:28:00.660><c> away</c><00:28:00.980><c> from</c><00:28:01.220><c> God</c><00:28:01.519><c> and</c><00:28:01.779><c> they</c><00:28:02.059><c> thought</c><00:28:02.299><c> that</c><00:28:02.480><c> they</c>

00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:03.319
could<00:28:02.799><c> try</c><00:28:03.119><c> it</c>

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:04.039
and<00:28:03.359><c> do</c><00:28:03.519><c> it</c><00:28:03.640><c> on</c><00:28:03.740><c> their</c><00:28:03.940><c> own.</c>

00:28:04.059 --> 00:28:05.880
Well,<00:28:04.259><c> they</c><00:28:04.400><c> can't.</c>

00:28:06.019 --> 00:28:08.259
Look<00:28:06.140><c> at</c><00:28:06.279><c> Hosea</c><00:28:06.599><c> said</c><00:28:06.859><c> about</c><00:28:07.119><c> that.</c>

00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:11.960
And<00:28:09.740><c> you</c><00:28:09.859><c> know,</c><00:28:10.220><c> I've</c><00:28:10.299><c> got</c><00:28:10.539><c> no</c><00:28:10.839><c> doubt</c><00:28:10.980><c> at</c><00:28:11.079><c> all</c><00:28:11.279><c> in</c><00:28:11.480><c> my</c><00:28:11.779><c> mind</c>

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:14.920
that<00:28:12.279><c> all</c><00:28:12.700><c> these</c><00:28:12.960><c> things</c><00:28:13.180><c> I'm</c><00:28:13.420><c> turning</c><00:28:13.619><c> up,</c><00:28:13.859><c> Jesus</c><00:28:14.180><c> had</c><00:28:14.519><c> well</c>

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:15.559
and<00:28:15.059><c> truly</c><00:28:15.220><c> in</c><00:28:15.420><c> mind.</c>

00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:17.259
These<00:28:15.779><c> are</c><00:28:16.220><c> fundamental</c><00:28:16.740><c> references.</c>

00:28:17.579 --> 00:28:20.339
When<00:28:17.839><c> you</c><00:28:17.980><c> look</c><00:28:18.140><c> at</c><00:28:18.420><c> the</c><00:28:18.660><c> 15th</c><00:28:19.160><c> chapter</c><00:28:19.420><c> of</c><00:28:19.640><c> John,</c><00:28:19.940><c> they</c><00:28:20.099><c> come</c>

00:28:20.339 --> 00:28:21.200
from<00:28:20.500><c> these</c><00:28:20.740><c> records.</c>

00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:26.640
So<00:28:22.059><c> Hosea</c><00:28:22.960><c> 10</c><00:28:23.859><c> in</c><00:28:24.180><c> verse</c><00:28:24.400><c> 1</c><00:28:24.660><c> says,</c>

00:28:31.859 --> 00:28:34.480
Israel<00:28:31.859><c> is</c><00:28:32.779><c> an</c><00:28:33.059><c> empty</c><00:28:33.500><c> vine.</c>

00:28:35.420 --> 00:28:38.140
He<00:28:35.599><c> bringeth</c><00:28:36.000><c> forth</c><00:28:36.200><c> fruit</c><00:28:36.519><c> unto</c><00:28:36.819><c> himself.</c>

00:28:39.259 --> 00:28:43.980
According<00:28:39.559><c> to</c><00:28:39.720><c> the</c><00:28:39.880><c> multitude</c><00:28:40.140><c> of</c><00:28:40.319><c> his</c><00:28:40.579><c> fruit,</c><00:28:40.819><c> he</c><00:28:40.980><c> hath</c><00:28:41.220><c> increased</c><00:28:42.099><c> his</c><00:28:43.480><c> altars.</c>

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.240
According<00:28:44.599><c> to</c><00:28:44.799><c> the</c><00:28:44.920><c> goodness</c><00:28:45.180><c> of</c><00:28:45.380><c> his</c><00:28:45.559><c> land,</c><00:28:45.799><c> he</c><00:28:45.819><c> hath</c><00:28:46.019><c> made</c>

00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:46.799
goodly<00:28:46.579><c> images.</c>

00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:47.839
Oh,<00:28:47.359><c> yes.</c>

00:28:48.099 --> 00:28:50.660
He<00:28:48.359><c> produced</c><00:28:48.759><c> plenty</c><00:28:49.140><c> of</c><00:28:49.380><c> fruit,</c><00:28:49.720><c> all</c><00:28:49.720><c> right,</c><00:28:50.079><c> brothers</c><00:28:50.079><c> and</c><00:28:50.359><c> sisters.</c>

00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:53.519
And<00:28:51.400><c> he</c><00:28:51.839><c> needed</c><00:28:52.259><c> barns</c><00:28:52.839><c> to</c><00:28:53.039><c> put</c><00:28:53.180><c> them</c><00:28:53.339><c> in.</c>

00:28:53.779 --> 00:28:55.380
But<00:28:53.880><c> what</c><00:28:54.420><c> were</c><00:28:54.539><c> his</c><00:28:54.799><c> barns?</c>

00:28:55.680 --> 00:29:00.180
These<00:28:56.119><c> barns</c><00:28:56.720><c> were</c><00:28:57.019><c> altars</c><00:28:57.420><c> to</c><00:28:57.660><c> false</c><00:28:58.079><c> gods</c><00:28:58.539><c> because</c><00:28:59.119><c> his</c><00:28:59.519><c> fruit</c><00:28:59.779><c> was</c>

00:29:00.180 --> 00:29:02.079
absolutely<00:29:00.920><c> poisonous.</c>

00:29:03.259 --> 00:29:05.640
Because<00:29:03.460><c> he</c><00:29:03.539><c> was</c><00:29:03.680><c> an</c><00:29:03.859><c> empty</c><00:29:04.099><c> vine</c><00:29:04.380><c> as</c><00:29:04.619><c> far</c><00:29:04.799><c> as</c><00:29:04.920><c> God</c><00:29:05.099><c> was</c><00:29:05.339><c> concerned.</c>

00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:07.200
He<00:29:05.779><c> produced</c><00:29:06.119><c> no</c><00:29:06.420><c> fruit.</c>

00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:07.980
So<00:29:07.500><c> he</c><00:29:07.579><c> went</c><00:29:07.740><c> out.</c>

00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:09.240
He<00:29:08.380><c> produced</c><00:29:08.819><c> fruit</c><00:29:09.019><c> on</c><00:29:09.180><c> it.</c>

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:09.859
Of<00:29:09.420><c> course</c><00:29:09.480><c> he</c><00:29:09.660><c> did.</c>

00:29:10.140 --> 00:29:14.019
And<00:29:10.299><c> he</c><00:29:10.480><c> grew</c><00:29:10.680><c> fruit,</c><00:29:11.180><c> brothers</c><00:29:11.220><c> and</c><00:29:11.539><c> sisters,</c><00:29:12.000><c> that</c><00:29:12.079><c> was</c><00:29:12.500><c> obnoxious</c><00:29:13.220><c> and</c><00:29:13.599><c> poisonous.</c>

00:29:14.019 --> 00:29:17.920
And<00:29:14.299><c> his</c><00:29:14.759><c> barns</c><00:29:15.279><c> became</c><00:29:15.680><c> graven</c><00:29:16.119><c> images</c><00:29:16.460><c> and</c><00:29:16.700><c> altars.</c>

00:29:18.740 --> 00:29:20.460
That's<00:29:18.920><c> what</c><00:29:19.119><c> happened</c><00:29:19.339><c> when</c><00:29:19.480><c> you</c><00:29:19.700><c> try</c><00:29:19.880><c> and</c><00:29:20.019><c> produce</c><00:29:20.259><c> fruit</c>

00:29:20.460 --> 00:29:21.819
on<00:29:20.640><c> your</c><00:29:20.839><c> own.</c>

00:29:23.059 --> 00:29:26.200
He<00:29:23.119><c> learned</c><00:29:23.299><c> his</c><00:29:23.539><c> lesson</c><00:29:23.779><c> in</c><00:29:23.980><c> chapter</c><00:29:24.240><c> 14.</c>

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:32.940
A<00:29:29.940><c> prophecy</c><00:29:30.200><c> that</c><00:29:30.400><c> Israel</c><00:29:30.740><c> will</c><00:29:31.039><c> yet</c><00:29:31.259><c> learn</c><00:29:31.519><c> the</c><00:29:31.759><c> lesson.</c>

00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:36.299
Chapter<00:29:35.000><c> 14</c><00:29:35.380><c> opens</c><00:29:35.680><c> up</c><00:29:35.859><c> with</c><00:29:36.019><c> the</c><00:29:36.140><c> words,</c>

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:39.440
Oh<00:29:36.779><c> Israel,</c><00:29:37.339><c> return</c><00:29:38.039><c> unto</c><00:29:38.440><c> the</c><00:29:38.619><c> Lord</c><00:29:38.880><c> thy</c><00:29:39.140><c> God.</c>

00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:42.900
Return<00:29:40.019><c> unto</c><00:29:40.279><c> Yahweh</c><00:29:40.640><c> thy</c><00:29:40.799><c> God,</c><00:29:41.200><c> he</c><00:29:41.200><c> says,</c><00:29:41.759><c> for</c><00:29:41.880><c> you</c><00:29:42.240><c> have</c><00:29:42.400><c> fallen</c><00:29:42.619><c> by</c>

your<00:29:43.119><c> iniquity.</c>

00:29:43.900 --> 00:29:46.000
That's<00:29:44.180><c> where</c><00:29:44.259><c> your</c><00:29:44.420><c> problem</c><00:29:44.680><c> is.</c>

00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:49.740
And<00:29:46.660><c> in</c><00:29:46.799><c> verse</c><00:29:47.059><c> 4,</c><00:29:47.640><c> God</c><00:29:47.660><c> says,</c><00:29:48.119><c> I</c><00:29:48.119><c> will</c><00:29:48.359><c> heal</c><00:29:48.759><c> their</c><00:29:49.099><c> backsliding.</c>

00:29:50.220 --> 00:29:51.980

from<00:29:59.700><c> him.</c>

00:30:00.140 --> 00:30:02.480
I<00:30:00.359><c> will</c><00:30:00.539><c> be</c><00:30:00.680><c> as</c><00:30:00.839><c> the</c><00:30:01.019><c> Jew</c><00:30:01.180><c> unto</c><00:30:01.420><c> Israel.</c>

00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:06.279

It<00:32:34.279><c> just</c><00:32:34.420><c> shipped</c><00:32:35.019><c> recently.</c>

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.720
But<00:32:36.039><c> this</c><00:32:36.380><c> house</c><00:32:36.700><c> we</c><00:32:36.839><c> had</c><00:32:37.059><c> previously</c><00:32:37.640><c> had</c><00:32:38.200><c> this</c><00:32:38.559><c> vine.</c>

00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:40.640
It<00:32:38.819><c> was</c><00:32:39.019><c> actually</c><00:32:39.380><c> rooted</c><00:32:39.559><c> in</c><00:32:39.859><c> the</c><00:32:40.019><c> next</c><00:32:40.240><c> door</c><00:32:40.380><c> neighbour.</c>

00:32:40.779 --> 00:32:41.380
It<00:32:40.859><c> grew</c><00:32:41.019><c> over</c><00:32:41.240><c> there.</c>

00:32:41.539 --> 00:32:43.019
Never,<00:32:41.880><c> ever</c><00:32:42.160><c> got</c><00:32:42.339><c> any</c><00:32:42.559><c> grapes</c><00:32:42.779><c> on</c><00:32:42.960><c> it.</c>

00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.119
I<00:32:43.240><c> never,</c><00:32:43.299><c> ever</c><00:32:43.599><c> saw</c><00:32:43.779><c> any</c><00:32:43.980><c> grapes</c><00:32:44.220><c> on</c><00:32:44.359><c> it.</c>

00:32:45.299 --> 00:32:47.400
You<00:32:45.480><c> know,</c><00:32:45.619><c> I</c><00:32:45.740><c> went</c><00:32:45.859><c> down</c><00:32:46.099><c> one</c><00:32:46.259><c> day</c><00:32:46.420><c> because</c><00:32:46.680><c> it</c><00:32:46.819><c> was</c><00:32:47.059><c> really</c>

00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:48.339
growing<00:32:47.779><c> profusely.</c>

00:32:48.339 --> 00:32:48.559
I<00:32:48.559><c> went</c><00:32:48.559><c> down.</c>

00:32:48.619 --> 00:32:51.220
I<00:32:48.619><c> wanted</c><00:32:48.839><c> to</c><00:32:48.980><c> get</c><00:32:49.220><c> some</c><00:32:49.859><c> passageway</c><00:32:50.339><c> through.</c>

00:32:51.539 --> 00:32:54.079
And<00:32:51.700><c> I</c><00:32:52.059><c> chopped</c><00:32:52.279><c> off</c><00:32:52.539><c> the</c><00:32:52.759><c> branches</c><00:32:53.039><c> roughly,</c><00:32:53.539><c> just</c><00:32:53.839><c> cut</c><00:32:53.940><c> them</c>

00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:54.920
off<00:32:54.259><c> and</c><00:32:54.500><c> stacked</c><00:32:54.660><c> them.</c>

00:32:54.980 --> 00:32:55.839
They<00:32:55.099><c> fell</c><00:32:55.299><c> on</c><00:32:55.460><c> the</c><00:32:55.619><c> ground.</c>

00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:58.420
And<00:32:56.220><c> I</c><00:32:56.319><c> went</c><00:32:56.420><c> away</c><00:32:56.579><c> to</c><00:32:56.759><c> do</c><00:32:56.940><c> something</c><00:32:57.220><c> and</c><00:32:57.720><c> come</c><00:32:57.940><c> back</c><00:32:58.140><c> to</c><00:32:58.299><c> pick</c>

00:32:58.420 --> 00:32:58.640
them<00:32:58.559><c> up.</c>

00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:00.440
I<00:32:58.900><c> was</c><00:32:59.220><c> amazed,</c><00:32:59.859><c> brothers</c><00:33:00.019><c> and</c><00:33:00.220><c> sisters,</c>

00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:04.160
when<00:33:00.599><c> I</c><00:33:00.660><c> came</c><00:33:00.880><c> back</c><00:33:01.079><c> to</c><00:33:01.200><c> see</c><00:33:01.359><c> how</c><00:33:01.680><c> quickly</c><00:33:02.140><c> those</c><00:33:02.819><c> leaves</c><00:33:03.039><c> withered.</c>

00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:07.180
Within<00:33:04.819><c> the</c><00:33:05.039><c> few</c><00:33:05.160><c> moments</c><00:33:05.420><c> that</c><00:33:05.599><c> I'd</c><00:33:05.859><c> gone,</c><00:33:06.460><c> they</c><00:33:06.640><c> were</c><00:33:06.900><c> limp</c>

00:33:07.180 --> 00:33:07.819
on<00:33:07.420><c> the</c><00:33:07.599><c> ground.</c>

00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:08.640
Gone,<00:33:08.380><c> limp.</c>

00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:10.779
They<00:33:08.839><c> just</c><00:33:09.059><c> went</c><00:33:09.220><c> limp</c><00:33:09.579><c> like</c><00:33:09.900><c> that.</c>

00:33:10.980 --> 00:33:12.920
And<00:33:11.160><c> I</c><00:33:11.299><c> thought</c><00:33:11.460><c> of</c><00:33:11.579><c> that</c><00:33:11.799><c> parable.</c>

00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:15.579
Sever<00:33:13.640><c> yourself</c><00:33:14.019><c> from</c><00:33:14.259><c> Christ,</c><00:33:14.880><c> fall</c><00:33:14.980><c> away</c><00:33:15.220><c> from</c><00:33:15.380><c> him,</c>

00:33:15.579 --> 00:33:19.099
and<00:33:15.779><c> you</c><00:33:16.079><c> just</c><00:33:16.660><c> wither</c><00:33:16.980><c> like</c><00:33:17.279><c> that,</c><00:33:17.839><c> like</c><00:33:18.019><c> a</c><00:33:18.259><c> flash.</c>

00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:24.339
Because<00:33:20.099><c> all</c><00:33:20.339><c> the</c><00:33:20.480><c> goodness</c><00:33:20.759><c> of</c><00:33:21.039><c> that</c><00:33:21.319><c> fire</c><00:33:21.579><c> is</c><00:33:22.599><c> now</c><00:33:22.859><c> no</c><00:33:23.000><c> longer</c><00:33:23.180><c> with</c><00:33:23.420><c> you.</c>

00:33:24.819 --> 00:33:26.059
And<00:33:24.960><c> you</c><00:33:25.140><c> just</c><00:33:25.559><c> wither.</c>

00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:28.039
Now,<00:33:26.480><c> what</c><00:33:26.559><c> do</c><00:33:26.660><c> you</c><00:33:26.779><c> do</c><00:33:26.859><c> with</c><00:33:27.039><c> the</c><00:33:27.200><c> branches?</c>

00:33:29.220 --> 00:33:30.400
Well,<00:33:29.480><c> verse</c><00:33:29.660><c> 6</c><00:33:29.980><c> says,</c>

00:33:30.619 --> 00:33:33.839
If<00:33:30.640><c> a</c><00:33:30.880><c> man</c><00:33:31.039><c> abide</c><00:33:31.359><c> not</c><00:33:31.559><c> in</c><00:33:31.680><c> me,</c><00:33:32.240><c> he</c><00:33:32.500><c> is</c><00:33:32.700><c> cast</c><00:33:33.039><c> forth</c><00:33:33.240><c> as</c><00:33:33.440><c> a</c><00:33:33.559><c> branch</c><00:33:33.660><c> and</c>

00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:34.339
is<00:33:34.059><c> withered.</c>

00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:36.740
And<00:33:34.640><c> men</c><00:33:34.859><c> gather</c><00:33:35.160><c> them</c><00:33:35.420><c> and</c><00:33:35.619><c> cast</c><00:33:35.920><c> them</c><00:33:36.019><c> into</c><00:33:36.160><c> the</c><00:33:36.359><c> fire</c><00:33:36.519><c> and</c>

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:37.099
burn<00:33:36.960><c> them.</c>

00:33:37.099 --> 00:33:38.599
Why<00:33:37.279><c> would</c><00:33:37.460><c> they</c><00:33:37.559><c> do</c><00:33:37.740><c> that?</c>

00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:41.160
Well,<00:33:39.960><c> I'll</c><00:33:40.099><c> tell</c><00:33:40.220><c> you</c><00:33:40.319><c> why</c><00:33:40.440><c> they</c><00:33:40.619><c> do</c><00:33:40.799><c> that.</c>

00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:45.400
Because<00:33:41.579><c> that</c><00:33:42.039><c> is</c><00:33:42.299><c> coming</c><00:33:42.740><c> from</c><00:33:43.339><c> another</c><00:33:43.799><c> chapter</c><00:33:44.200><c> 15.</c>

00:33:45.819 --> 00:33:48.140
It's<00:33:45.960><c> coming</c><00:33:46.160><c> from</c><00:33:46.359><c> the</c><00:33:46.539><c> 15th</c><00:33:47.180><c> chapter</c><00:33:47.460><c> of</c><00:33:47.720><c> Ezekiel.</c>

00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:49.859
Have<00:33:48.539><c> a</c><00:33:48.619><c> look</c><00:33:48.759><c> at</c><00:33:48.819><c> this.</c>

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:55.000
Now,<00:33:53.619><c> this</c><00:33:53.779><c> is</c><00:33:54.000><c> amazing.</c>

00:33:55.579 --> 00:33:56.539
Very<00:33:55.900><c> easy</c><00:33:56.140><c> to</c><00:33:56.319><c> remember.</c>

00:33:56.660 --> 00:33:59.140
Ezekiel<00:33:57.140><c> 15,</c><00:33:57.700><c> John</c><00:33:57.980><c> 15.</c>

00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:03.180

00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.680
It's<00:34:05.180><c> only</c><00:34:05.279><c> a</c><00:34:05.359><c> short</c><00:34:05.619><c> little</c><00:34:05.900><c> chapter,</c><00:34:06.420><c> brothers</c><00:34:06.579><c> and</c><00:34:06.759><c> sisters.</c>

00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:13.280
You<00:34:10.739><c> look</c><00:34:11.239><c> at</c><00:34:11.579><c> what</c><00:34:11.699><c> Ezekiel</c><00:34:12.099><c> was</c><00:34:12.320><c> told</c><00:34:12.440><c> by</c><00:34:12.719><c> God.</c>

You<00:34:47.840><c> see,</c><00:34:48.659><c> you</c><00:34:48.760><c> go</c><00:34:48.960><c> and</c><00:34:49.059><c> have</c><00:34:49.139><c> a</c><00:34:49.199><c> look</c><00:34:49.280><c> at</c><00:34:49.380><c> the</c><00:34:49.579><c> vine.</c>

00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:51.519
You<00:34:49.860><c> say,</c><00:34:50.159><c> well,</c><00:34:50.559><c> I've</c><00:34:50.780><c> cut</c><00:34:50.880><c> the</c><00:34:51.079><c> branches,</c><00:34:51.340><c> you</c><00:34:51.460><c> know,</c>

00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.659
they<00:34:51.659><c> might</c><00:34:51.860><c> be</c><00:34:52.199><c> fairly</c><00:34:52.460><c> sizeable.</c>

00:34:53.860 --> 00:34:55.019
What<00:34:54.039><c> are</c><00:34:54.119><c> you</c><00:34:54.219><c> going</c><00:34:54.300><c> to</c><00:34:54.420><c> do</c><00:34:54.460><c> with</c><00:34:54.679><c> it?</c>

00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:56.760
What<00:34:55.639><c> would</c><00:34:55.780><c> you</c><00:34:56.000><c> do</c><00:34:56.239><c> with</c><00:34:56.460><c> it?</c>

00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:58.340
You<00:34:57.360><c> look</c><00:34:57.539><c> at</c><00:34:57.699><c> the</c><00:34:57.860><c> thing</c><00:34:58.019><c> and</c><00:34:58.159><c> you</c><00:34:58.219><c> think,</c>

00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:00.059
oh,<00:34:58.599><c> come</c><00:34:58.800><c> on,</c><00:34:58.960><c> get</c><00:34:58.960><c> out</c><00:34:59.139><c> of</c><00:34:59.280><c> there.</c>

00:35:00.820 --> 00:35:02.000
It<00:35:01.219><c> says</c><00:35:01.380><c> here</c><00:35:01.599><c> a</c><00:35:01.760><c> pin.</c>

00:35:02.380 --> 00:35:04.659
Actually,<00:35:02.760><c> what</c><00:35:02.960><c> that</c><00:35:03.219><c> really</c><00:35:03.500><c> means</c><00:35:03.719><c> is</c><00:35:03.920><c> that</c><00:35:04.059><c> when</c><00:35:04.139><c> they,</c>

00:35:04.699 --> 00:35:06.119
in<00:35:04.800><c> the</c><00:35:04.900><c> ancient,</c><00:35:05.440><c> in</c><00:35:05.619><c> those</c><00:35:05.860><c> times,</c>

00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:07.519
when<00:35:06.260><c> they</c><00:35:06.420><c> put</c><00:35:06.559><c> a</c><00:35:06.840><c> peg</c><00:35:06.880><c> in</c><00:35:07.059><c> the</c><00:35:07.280><c> wall,</c>

00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:09.260
what<00:35:08.000><c> they</c><00:35:08.179><c> would</c><00:35:08.360><c> do,</c><00:35:08.639><c> brothers</c><00:35:08.820><c> and</c><00:35:09.079><c> sisters,</c>

00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:14.239
is<00:35:09.500><c> to</c><00:35:09.719><c> cut</c><00:35:09.900><c> down</c><00:35:10.679><c> a</c><00:35:12.519><c> young</c><00:35:13.019><c> tree</c><00:35:13.420><c> at</c><00:35:13.659><c> the</c><00:35:13.860><c> base</c>

00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.239
and<00:35:14.820><c> they'd</c><00:35:15.099><c> cut,</c><00:35:15.539><c> they'd</c><00:35:15.619><c> dig</c><00:35:15.739><c> down</c><00:35:15.980><c> underneath</c>

00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:17.780
and<00:35:16.559><c> bring</c><00:35:16.800><c> out</c><00:35:17.019><c> some</c><00:35:17.199><c> of</c><00:35:17.300><c> the</c><00:35:17.420><c> roots</c><00:35:17.599><c> of</c><00:35:17.699><c> it.</c>

00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:20.440
So<00:35:17.940><c> you'd</c><00:35:18.119><c> have</c><00:35:18.239><c> the</c><00:35:18.460><c> roots</c><00:35:18.639><c> coming</c><00:35:18.900><c> out</c><00:35:19.300><c> and</c><00:35:19.500><c> this</c><00:35:19.780><c> straight</c><00:35:20.079><c> stick.</c>

00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:22.260
Then<00:35:20.980><c> they</c><00:35:21.139><c> would</c><00:35:21.280><c> dig</c><00:35:21.440><c> a</c><00:35:21.619><c> hole</c><00:35:21.699><c> in</c><00:35:21.800><c> the</c><00:35:21.980><c> wall,</c>

00:35:22.579 --> 00:35:24.260
put<00:35:22.739><c> the</c><00:35:22.980><c> root</c><00:35:23.159><c> system</c><00:35:23.500><c> back</c><00:35:23.739><c> in</c><00:35:23.900><c> the</c><00:35:24.079><c> wall</c>

00:35:24.260 --> 00:35:26.480
and<00:35:24.619><c> plaster</c><00:35:24.940><c> it</c><00:35:25.119><c> all</c><00:35:25.260><c> around</c><00:35:25.380><c> so</c><00:35:25.500><c> that</c><00:35:25.579><c> it</c><00:35:25.659><c> gets</c><00:35:25.780><c> a</c><00:35:25.900><c> whole</c><00:35:26.179><c> big</c>

00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:27.480

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:29.619
and<00:35:27.619><c> it</c><00:35:27.679><c> would</c><00:35:27.880><c> be</c><00:35:28.000><c> a</c><00:35:28.059><c> very</c><00:35:28.460><c> strong</c><00:35:28.760><c> peg.</c>

00:35:29.739 --> 00:35:31.719
What<00:35:30.139><c> are</c><00:35:30.280><c> you</c><00:35:30.340><c> going</c><00:35:30.360><c> to</c><00:35:30.360><c> do</c><00:35:30.480><c> with</c><00:35:30.699><c> that?</c>

00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:36.380
You<00:35:33.119><c> wouldn't</c><00:35:33.320><c> make</c><00:35:33.639><c> a</c><00:35:33.840><c> cupboard</c><00:35:33.980><c> out</c><00:35:34.179><c> of</c><00:35:34.300><c> a</c><00:35:34.460><c> piece</c><00:35:34.599><c> of</c><00:35:34.780><c> a</c><00:35:34.860><c> lime,</c><00:35:35.000><c> would</c><00:35:35.199><c> you?</c>

00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:38.860
Well,<00:35:37.440><c> God</c><00:35:37.579><c> says</c><00:35:37.760><c> in</c><00:35:37.920><c> verse</c><00:35:38.179><c> 4,</c>

00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:41.099
Behold,<00:35:39.679><c> it's</c><00:35:39.820><c> cast</c><00:35:40.039><c> into</c><00:35:40.219><c> the</c><00:35:40.400><c> fire</c><00:35:40.619><c> for</c><00:35:40.880><c> fuel.</c>

00:35:41.300 --> 00:35:43.139
There's<00:35:41.639><c> no</c><00:35:41.960><c> other</c><00:35:42.199><c> use.</c>

00:35:43.300 --> 00:35:45.219
The<00:35:43.500><c> fire</c><00:35:43.739><c> had</c><00:35:43.880><c> devoured</c><00:35:44.139><c> both</c><00:35:44.500><c> the</c><00:35:44.679><c> ends</c><00:35:44.800><c> of</c><00:35:44.980><c> it</c>

00:35:45.219 --> 00:35:46.320
and<00:35:45.500><c> the</c><00:35:45.599><c> midst</c><00:35:45.760><c> of</c><00:35:45.880><c> it</c><00:35:45.980><c> is</c><00:35:46.159><c> burned.</c>

00:35:46.539 --> 00:35:50.480
It's<00:35:46.820><c> not</c><00:35:47.059><c> meat,</c><00:35:47.280><c> it's</c><00:35:47.519><c> not,</c><00:35:47.920><c> it's</c><00:35:48.360><c> just</c><00:35:48.619><c> no</c><00:35:48.800><c> good</c><00:35:48.920><c> for</c><00:35:49.059><c> any</c><00:35:49.239><c> work,</c><00:35:49.460><c> he</c><00:35:49.639><c> says.</c>

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:53.460
Behold,<00:35:50.900><c> when</c><00:35:51.079><c> it</c><00:35:51.159><c> was</c><00:35:51.420><c> whole,</c><00:35:52.159><c> it</c><00:35:52.340><c> was</c><00:35:52.559><c> no</c><00:35:52.800><c> good</c><00:35:52.940><c> for</c><00:35:53.179><c> work.</c>

00:35:53.739 --> 00:35:55.699
How<00:35:53.920><c> much</c><00:35:54.179><c> less</c><00:35:54.400><c> when</c><00:35:54.539><c> it's</c><00:35:54.860><c> burned?</c>

00:35:56.340 --> 00:35:57.500
So<00:35:56.500><c> you</c><00:35:56.619><c> see,</c><00:35:56.920><c> brothers</c><00:35:57.099><c> and</c><00:35:57.320><c> sisters,</c>

00:35:57.500 --> 00:35:59.179
from<00:35:57.679><c> what</c><00:35:57.719><c> God</c><00:35:57.940><c> is</c><00:35:58.079><c> telling</c><00:35:58.340><c> Ezekiel,</c>

00:35:59.500 --> 00:36:02.699
Ezekiel,<00:36:00.099><c> tell</c><00:36:00.300><c> me,</c><00:36:01.119><c> why</c><00:36:01.280><c> what's</c><00:36:01.559><c> so</c><00:36:01.860><c> different</c><00:36:02.059><c> about</c><00:36:02.320><c> a</c><00:36:02.519><c> vine</c>

00:36:02.699 --> 00:36:04.119
from<00:36:02.900><c> other</c><00:36:03.079><c> trees?</c>

00:36:04.460 --> 00:36:06.000
And<00:36:04.619><c> God's</c><00:36:04.980><c> answer</c><00:36:05.139><c> to</c><00:36:05.300><c> him</c><00:36:05.440><c> was,</c><00:36:05.639><c> Ezekiel,</c>

00:36:06.059 --> 00:36:10.900
it's<00:36:06.179><c> because</c><00:36:06.400><c> it's</c><00:36:07.000><c> useless</c><00:36:07.480><c> except</c><00:36:09.199><c> for</c><00:36:09.500><c> producing</c><00:36:09.960><c> fruit.</c>

00:36:11.980 --> 00:36:14.699
It<00:36:12.260><c> only</c><00:36:12.599><c> has</c><00:36:13.199><c> one</c><00:36:13.619><c> use.</c>

00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:19.440
Whereas<00:36:16.500><c> most</c><00:36:16.860><c> other</c><00:36:17.139><c> trees,</c><00:36:18.280><c> even</c><00:36:18.639><c> some</c><00:36:18.960><c> fruit</c><00:36:19.139><c> trees,</c>

00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:21.880
you<00:36:19.719><c> could</c><00:36:19.880><c> actually</c><00:36:20.179><c> use</c><00:36:20.460><c> the</c><00:36:20.579><c> timber</c><00:36:20.719><c> for</c><00:36:21.000><c> something,</c>

00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:24.440
but<00:36:22.659><c> there's</c><00:36:22.920><c> nothing</c><00:36:23.199><c> you</c><00:36:23.360><c> can</c><00:36:23.539><c> do</c><00:36:23.679><c> with</c><00:36:23.840><c> that.</c>

00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:27.920
Isn't<00:36:25.360><c> that</c><00:36:26.199><c> very,</c><00:36:26.500><c> very</c><00:36:26.840><c> sober,</c><00:36:27.280><c> brothers</c><00:36:27.440><c> and</c><00:36:27.699><c> sisters?</c>

00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:29.940
That's<00:36:28.460><c> what</c><00:36:28.639><c> Jesus</c><00:36:29.000><c> said.</c>

00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:32.800
He's<00:36:30.260><c> quoting</c><00:36:30.460><c> Ezekiel</c><00:36:30.980><c> chapter</c><00:36:31.300><c> 15.</c>

00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:36.739
That<00:36:33.000><c> if</c><00:36:33.079><c> you</c><00:36:33.239><c> don't</c><00:36:33.460><c> produce</c><00:36:33.860><c> fruit,</c><00:36:35.539><c> well,</c><00:36:35.659><c> you</c><00:36:35.739><c> know</c><00:36:35.980><c> it.</c>

00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:39.699
Because<00:36:37.480><c> God's</c><00:36:37.760><c> got</c><00:36:37.940><c> no</c><00:36:38.219><c> more</c><00:36:38.460><c> further</c><00:36:38.699><c> use</c><00:36:38.940><c> for</c><00:36:39.119><c> you.</c>

00:36:39.739 --> 00:36:41.820
Our<00:36:40.159><c> life</c><00:36:40.480><c> is</c><00:36:40.820><c> useless.</c>

00:36:41.900 --> 00:36:45.239
God's<00:36:42.179><c> got</c><00:36:42.300><c> no</c><00:36:42.599><c> use</c><00:36:42.840><c> for</c><00:36:43.059><c> people</c><00:36:43.599><c> who</c><00:36:44.239><c> don't</c><00:36:44.480><c> produce</c><00:36:44.940><c> fruit,</c>

00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:46.619
brothers<00:36:45.539><c> and</c><00:36:45.800><c> sisters.</c>

if<00:38:57.039><c> we</c><00:38:57.199><c> do</c><00:38:57.360><c> things</c><00:38:57.599><c> that</c><00:38:57.760><c> are</c><00:38:57.940><c> right,</c><00:38:58.400><c> and</c><00:38:58.519><c> we</c><00:38:58.739><c> produce</c><00:38:59.099><c> fruit</c>

00:38:59.360 --> 00:38:59.800
in<00:38:59.539><c> our</c><00:38:59.679><c> life,</c>

00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:01.980
that<00:39:00.199><c> our</c><00:39:00.300><c> Heavenly</c><00:39:00.579><c> Father</c><00:39:00.900><c> is</c><00:39:01.219><c> pleased</c><00:39:01.480><c> with</c><00:39:01.719><c> that.</c>

00:39:02.099 --> 00:39:05.360
We<00:39:02.380><c> should</c><00:39:02.579><c> take</c><00:39:02.860><c> tremendous</c><00:39:03.559><c> satisfaction</c><00:39:04.199><c> in</c><00:39:04.360><c> that,</c><00:39:04.539><c> brothers</c><00:39:04.760><c> and</c><00:39:05.019><c> sisters.</c>

00:39:05.579 --> 00:39:07.739
That's<00:39:05.780><c> what</c><00:39:05.920><c> Jesus</c><00:39:06.260><c> is</c><00:39:06.380><c> trying</c><00:39:06.539><c> to</c><00:39:06.699><c> tell</c><00:39:06.820><c> them.</c>

00:39:08.260 --> 00:39:09.800
Wonderful<00:39:08.780><c> thing!</c>

00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:13.760

00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:15.400
Now,<00:39:14.219><c> you</c><00:39:14.300><c> know,</c><00:39:14.440><c> there's</c><00:39:14.599><c> two</c><00:39:14.820><c> ways.</c>

00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:18.420
The<00:39:15.860><c> Bible</c><00:39:16.099><c> says</c><00:39:16.619><c> that</c><00:39:16.880><c> you</c><00:39:16.960><c> can</c><00:39:17.179><c> bear</c><00:39:17.400><c> fruit.</c>

00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.739
You<00:39:19.980><c> can</c><00:39:20.239><c> bear</c><00:39:20.400><c> it,</c><00:39:20.760><c> brothers</c><00:39:20.840><c> and</c><00:39:21.119><c> sisters,</c><00:39:21.480><c> as</c><00:39:21.659><c> we've</c><00:39:21.960><c> said</c><00:39:22.079><c> before,</c>

00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:26.239
by<00:39:23.460><c> living</c><00:39:23.719><c> in</c><00:39:23.900><c> your</c><00:39:24.179><c> life</c><00:39:24.440><c> the</c><00:39:24.699><c> fruits</c><00:39:24.900><c> of</c><00:39:25.079><c> the</c><00:39:25.300><c> Spirit.</c>

00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:33.980
All<00:39:31.860><c> those</c><00:39:32.300><c> wonderful</c><00:39:32.880><c> attributes,</c>

00:39:34.300 --> 00:39:38.639
if<00:39:34.739><c> they</c><00:39:34.980><c> just</c><00:39:35.659><c> hang</c><00:39:36.059><c> upon</c><00:39:36.300><c> your</c><00:39:36.659><c> life</c><00:39:36.840><c> like</c><00:39:37.059><c> a</c><00:39:37.159><c> bunch</c><00:39:37.340><c> of</c><00:39:37.539><c> grapes.</c>

00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:40.619
Marvellous<00:39:39.679><c> thing.</c>

00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:44.699
Or,<00:39:42.639><c> like</c><00:39:42.900><c> Romans</c><00:39:43.159><c> Chapter</c><00:39:43.519><c> 1,</c><00:39:43.840><c> here's</c><00:39:43.960><c> another</c><00:39:44.239><c> way</c><00:39:44.380><c> you</c><00:39:44.519><c> can</c>

bear<00:39:44.920><c> fruit.</c>

00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:50.199
This<00:39:47.480><c> is</c><00:39:47.639><c> not</c><00:39:47.760><c> the</c><00:39:47.880><c> only</c><00:39:48.139><c> reference</c><00:39:48.400><c> to</c><00:39:48.599><c> this</c><00:39:48.800><c> effect.</c>

00:39:55.099 --> 00:39:56.719
Perhaps<00:39:55.320><c> I'll</c><00:39:55.500><c> show</c><00:39:55.699><c> you</c><00:39:55.860><c> another</c><00:39:56.079><c> one</c><00:39:56.219><c> after</c><00:39:56.340><c> this</c><00:39:56.480><c> to</c><00:39:56.559><c> make</c>

the<00:39:57.000><c> point.</c>

00:40:06.420 --> 00:40:07.980
Now<00:40:06.440><c> I</c><00:40:06.539><c> would</c><00:40:06.800><c> not</c><00:40:06.960><c> have</c><00:40:07.139><c> you</c><00:40:07.340><c> ignorant,</c><00:40:07.739><c> brethren,</c>

00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:13.320
restricted,<00:40:12.880><c> he</c><00:40:13.119><c> says,</c>

00:40:13.380 --> 00:40:16.579
I<00:40:13.699><c> was</c><00:40:13.940><c> hindered,</c><00:40:14.599><c> that</c><00:40:14.739><c> I</c><00:40:14.980><c> might</c><00:40:15.179><c> have</c><00:40:15.480><c> some</c><00:40:15.840><c> fruit</c><00:40:16.079><c> among</c>

00:40:18.840 --> 00:40:20.619

00:40:20.619 --> 00:40:25.139
So<00:40:21.199><c> Paul</c><00:40:21.679><c> had</c><00:40:22.159><c> trees</c><00:40:22.659><c> growing</c><00:40:23.159><c> all</c><00:40:23.840><c> over</c><00:40:24.139><c> the</c><00:40:24.380><c> world,</c><00:40:24.800><c> which</c>

00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:30.340
So<00:40:28.219><c> it</c><00:40:28.320><c> wasn't</c><00:40:28.460><c> only</c><00:40:28.760><c> in</c><00:40:28.960><c> his</c><00:40:29.119><c> own</c><00:40:29.360><c> life</c><00:40:29.619><c> he</c><00:40:29.719><c> was</c><00:40:29.900><c> producing</c>

00:40:35.300 --> 00:40:38.179
There<00:40:35.400><c> were</c><00:40:35.519><c> other</c><00:40:35.699><c> people</c><00:40:36.079><c> in</c><00:40:36.239><c> the</c><00:40:36.400><c> world</c><00:40:36.599><c> that</c><00:40:36.699><c> were</c><00:40:36.820><c> doing</c><00:40:37.039><c> that.</c>

00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:41.099
And<00:40:38.619><c> he</c><00:40:38.860><c> was</c><00:40:39.099><c> the</c><00:40:39.320><c> farmer</c><00:40:39.559><c> on</c><00:40:39.760><c> God's</c><00:40:40.179><c> behalf.</c>

00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:42.039
He<00:40:41.420><c> was</c><00:40:41.659><c> out</c><00:40:41.880><c> there.</c>

00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:44.920
Like<00:40:42.400><c> Philippians</c><00:40:42.860><c> Chapter</c><00:40:43.300><c> 4,</c><00:40:43.619><c> here's</c><00:40:43.820><c> another</c><00:40:44.099><c> one.</c>

00:40:44.940 --> 00:40:47.480
We<00:40:45.179><c> can</c><00:40:45.360><c> produce</c><00:40:45.679><c> fruit</c><00:40:45.940><c> like</c><00:40:46.199><c> this,</c><00:40:46.679><c> brothers</c><00:40:46.719><c> and</c><00:40:46.920><c> sisters.</c>

00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:49.739
This<00:40:47.940><c> is</c><00:40:48.139><c> the</c><00:40:48.179><c> best</c><00:40:48.400><c> sort</c><00:40:48.659><c> of</c><00:40:48.800><c> fruit.</c>

00:40:53.699 --> 00:40:57.320
He's<00:40:53.920><c> thanking</c><00:40:54.219><c> the</c><00:40:54.519><c> Philippians</c><00:40:55.039><c> for</c><00:40:55.719><c> the</c><00:40:56.300><c> gift</c><00:40:56.539><c> that</c><00:40:56.679><c> they'd</c><00:40:57.039><c> sent</c><00:40:57.159><c> him</c>

00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:42.360
They<00:46:40.280><c> may</c><00:46:40.519><c> produce</c><00:46:40.940><c> quick</c><00:46:41.239><c> results</c><00:46:41.559><c> for</c><00:46:41.760><c> the</c><00:46:41.880><c> moment</c>

00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:47.340

00:46:47.340 --> 00:46:48.239
in<00:46:47.780><c> your</c><00:46:48.039><c> soil</c>

00:46:48.239 --> 00:46:51.579

00:46:52.739 --> 00:46:56.280
And<00:46:52.860><c> there</c><00:46:53.000><c> are</c><00:46:53.179><c> other</c><00:46:53.400><c> fertilizers,</c><00:46:55.440><c> mostly</c><00:46:55.760><c> the</c><00:46:55.980><c> organic</c>

00:46:57.079 --> 00:47:01.159
which<00:46:57.300><c> are</c><00:46:58.380><c> really</c><00:46:58.840><c> good</c><00:46:59.239><c> and</c><00:46:59.679><c> have</c><00:46:59.920><c> long</c><00:47:00.280><c> term</c><00:47:00.699><c> effects.</c>

00:47:01.420 --> 00:47:03.699
It<00:47:01.639><c> depends</c><00:47:02.019><c> upon</c><00:47:02.420><c> the</c><00:47:02.820><c> quality,</c><00:47:03.460><c> isn't</c><00:47:03.460><c> it?</c>

00:47:03.719 --> 00:47:05.019
It's<00:47:04.079><c> quality.</c>

00:47:05.940 --> 00:47:09.860
Sometimes<00:47:06.380><c> it's</c><00:47:06.679><c> folly</c><00:47:06.940><c> to</c><00:47:07.239><c> save</c><00:47:07.960><c> a</c><00:47:08.239><c> dollar</c><00:47:08.440><c> here</c><00:47:08.719><c> or</c><00:47:08.880><c> a</c><00:47:09.000><c> dollar</c><00:47:09.159><c> there</c>

00:47:09.860 --> 00:47:13.960
and<00:47:10.340><c> yet</c><00:47:10.539><c> in</c><00:47:10.760><c> the</c><00:47:10.920><c> long</c><00:47:11.219><c> term</c><00:47:11.440><c> you</c><00:47:11.559><c> find</c><00:47:11.840><c> that</c><00:47:12.440><c> it</c><00:47:13.059><c> would</c><00:47:13.239><c> really</c><00:47:13.500><c> be</c><00:47:13.639><c> cheaper</c>

00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:16.500
and<00:47:14.179><c> better</c><00:47:14.440><c> if</c><00:47:14.639><c> you'd</c><00:47:14.940><c> have</c><00:47:15.000><c> bought</c><00:47:15.139><c> the</c><00:47:15.380><c> Deere</c><00:47:15.639><c> brand,</c><00:47:15.940><c> wouldn't</c><00:47:16.079><c> it?</c>

00:47:16.619 --> 00:47:17.780
You<00:47:16.800><c> know</c><00:47:17.000><c> that.</c>

00:47:18.460 --> 00:47:22.559
So<00:47:18.719><c> you</c><00:47:18.780><c> see,</c><00:47:20.000><c> the</c><00:47:20.079><c> thing</c><00:47:20.340><c> that's</c><00:47:20.559><c> going</c><00:47:20.900><c> to</c><00:47:21.639><c> cause</c><00:47:21.820><c> you</c><00:47:22.079><c> and</c><00:47:22.320><c> I</c>

00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:26.579
to<00:47:22.920><c> do</c><00:47:23.139><c> the</c><00:47:23.260><c> right</c><00:47:23.539><c> thing</c><00:47:23.800><c> in</c><00:47:24.039><c> life</c><00:47:24.219><c> is</c><00:47:24.440><c> the</c><00:47:24.599><c> love</c><00:47:24.739><c> of</c><00:47:24.960><c> God,</c><00:47:25.260><c> isn't</c><00:47:25.440><c> it?</c>

00:47:26.900 --> 00:47:30.940
You<00:47:27.340><c> can't.</c><00:47:27.780><c> There's</c><00:47:28.219><c> nothing</c><00:47:28.420><c> better.</c><00:47:29.219><c> You</c><00:47:29.460><c> can't</c><00:47:29.840><c> beat</c><00:47:30.079><c> that.</c>

00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:33.820
It's<00:47:31.340><c> not</c><00:47:31.559><c> just</c><00:47:31.880><c> the</c><00:47:31.940><c> love</c><00:47:32.099><c> of</c><00:47:32.260><c> God</c><00:47:32.380><c> for</c><00:47:32.579><c> us,</c><00:47:32.960><c> but</c><00:47:33.079><c> our</c><00:47:33.300><c> love</c><00:47:33.500><c> of</c>

00:47:33.820 --> 00:47:34.400
God,<00:47:34.119><c> isn't</c><00:47:34.320><c> it?</c>

00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:35.500
It's<00:47:34.500><c> a</c><00:47:34.639><c> reciprocal</c><00:47:35.079><c> thing.</c>

00:47:35.820 --> 00:47:39.800
So<00:47:36.019><c> that</c><00:47:36.199><c> you</c><00:47:36.300><c> learn</c><00:47:36.539><c> who</c><00:47:36.780><c> He</c><00:47:36.880><c> is,</c><00:47:37.280><c> what</c><00:47:37.480><c> He</c><00:47:37.579><c> is,</c><00:47:38.519><c> what</c><00:47:38.679><c> a</c><00:47:38.699><c> wonderful</c><00:47:39.099><c> Father</c><00:47:39.500><c> He</c><00:47:39.559><c> is.</c>

00:47:39.860 --> 00:47:41.940

00:47:42.280 --> 00:47:44.559
You<00:47:42.420><c> fear</c><00:47:42.519><c> Him</c><00:47:42.960><c> because</c><00:47:43.340><c> He</c><00:47:43.500><c> means</c><00:47:43.739><c> what</c><00:47:43.900><c> He</c><00:47:44.019><c> says</c><00:47:44.239><c> and</c><00:47:44.360><c> says</c>

00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:45.860
what<00:47:44.719><c> He</c><00:47:44.800><c> means.</c>

00:47:46.099 --> 00:47:49.579

00:47:52.260 --> 00:47:54.920
He<00:47:52.460><c> hurts</c><00:47:52.719><c> you</c><00:47:52.940><c> at</c><00:47:53.099><c> times</c><00:47:53.320><c> and</c><00:47:53.860><c> you</c><00:47:54.019><c> become</c><00:47:54.260><c> very</c><00:47:54.619><c> sorry,</c>

00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:03.900
That's<00:48:03.239><c> what</c><00:48:03.500><c> springs.</c>

00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:07.219
Now<00:48:04.400><c> Jesus</c><00:48:04.739><c> said,</c><00:48:05.239><c> here's</c><00:48:05.400><c> the</c><00:48:05.619><c> quality</c><00:48:06.079><c> of</c><00:48:06.460><c> my</c><00:48:06.699><c> love</c><00:48:06.840><c> for</c><00:48:07.059><c> you.</c>

00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:10.159
I<00:48:07.699><c> want</c><00:48:07.900><c> to</c><00:48:08.000><c> talk</c><00:48:08.199><c> about</c><00:48:08.460><c> the</c><00:48:08.780><c> quality</c><00:48:09.380><c> that's</c><00:48:09.739><c> going</c><00:48:09.900><c> to</c><00:48:09.980><c> grow</c>

but<00:51:21.860><c> to</c><00:51:22.179><c> love</c><00:51:22.420><c> one</c><00:51:22.659><c> another</c><00:51:22.920><c> as</c><00:51:23.420><c> I</c><00:51:24.079><c> have</c><00:51:24.500><c> loved</c><00:51:24.739><c> you.</c>

00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:27.440
Now<00:51:25.260><c> just</c><00:51:25.599><c> a</c><00:51:26.000><c> simple</c><00:51:26.300><c> equation.</c>

00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:30.739
So<00:51:27.980><c> we,</c><00:51:28.820><c> as</c><00:51:28.900><c> brothers</c><00:51:29.079><c> and</c><00:51:29.380><c> sisters,</c><00:51:29.820><c> have</c><00:51:29.960><c> got</c><00:51:30.059><c> to</c><00:51:30.260><c> love</c><00:51:30.420><c> each</c>

00:51:30.739 --> 00:51:34.420
other<00:51:31.280><c> as</c><00:51:32.019><c> he</c><00:51:32.980><c> loved</c><00:51:33.320><c> us.</c>

00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:36.260
How<00:51:34.760><c> did</c><00:51:34.920><c> he</c><00:51:35.000><c> love</c><00:51:35.199><c> us?</c>

00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:39.440
As<00:51:37.679><c> his</c><00:51:38.139><c> father</c><00:51:38.619><c> loved</c><00:51:39.059><c> him.</c>

00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:41.519
See<00:51:40.059><c> what's</c><00:51:40.699><c> happening.</c>

00:51:41.900 --> 00:51:46.280
So<00:51:42.059><c> the</c><00:51:42.260><c> father</c><00:51:42.920><c> poured</c><00:51:43.559><c> out</c><00:51:43.880><c> his</c><00:51:44.119><c> love</c><00:51:44.360><c> on</c><00:51:44.539><c> his</c><00:51:44.900><c> beloved</c><00:51:45.260><c> son.</c>

00:51:46.500 --> 00:51:48.800
Jesus<00:51:46.840><c> said,</c><00:51:47.400><c> that's</c><00:51:47.539><c> the</c><00:51:47.639><c> love</c><00:51:47.780><c> I've</c><00:51:48.059><c> got</c><00:51:48.139><c> for</c><00:51:48.340><c> my</c><00:51:48.539><c> father.</c>

00:51:49.179 --> 00:51:50.739
I<00:51:49.360><c> love</c><00:51:49.579><c> you</c><00:51:49.780><c> the</c><00:51:50.159><c> same.</c>

00:51:51.179 --> 00:51:54.000
Now<00:51:51.380><c> you</c><00:51:51.679><c> love</c><00:51:51.980><c> each</c><00:51:52.300><c> other</c><00:51:52.559><c> the</c><00:51:53.000><c> same.</c>

00:51:55.320 --> 00:51:57.820
Oh<00:51:55.820><c> boy,</c><00:51:56.179><c> is</c><00:51:56.599><c> that</c><00:51:56.780><c> powerful.</c>

00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:00.539
So<00:51:58.619><c> what's</c><00:51:58.880><c> the</c><00:51:59.059><c> quality</c><00:51:59.340><c> of</c><00:51:59.519><c> our</c><00:51:59.659><c> love,</c><00:51:59.960><c> brothers</c><00:52:00.079><c> and</c><00:52:00.380><c> sisters?</c>

00:52:00.619 --> 00:52:02.340
What<00:52:00.820><c> is</c><00:52:01.139><c> the</c><00:52:01.260><c> quality</c><00:52:01.539><c> of</c><00:52:01.780><c> it?</c>

00:52:03.079 --> 00:52:04.500
Well,<00:52:03.300><c> it's</c><00:52:03.480><c> that</c><00:52:03.639><c> quality.</c>

00:52:05.139 --> 00:52:06.719
It's<00:52:05.659><c> very,</c><00:52:06.000><c> very</c><00:52:06.219><c> simple,</c><00:52:06.500><c> isn't</c><00:52:06.679><c> it?</c>

00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:08.219
When<00:52:06.900><c> you</c><00:52:06.900><c> work</c><00:52:07.139><c> that</c><00:52:07.340><c> equation</c><00:52:07.760><c> out.</c>

00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:10.300
Very,<00:52:09.039><c> very</c><00:52:09.300><c> simple.</c>

00:52:10.900 --> 00:52:13.079
And<00:52:10.980><c> he</c><00:52:11.039><c> went</c><00:52:11.159><c> on</c><00:52:11.300><c> to</c><00:52:11.460><c> tell</c><00:52:11.559><c> them,</c>

00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:14.500
greater<00:52:13.300><c> love</c><00:52:13.599><c> hath</c><00:52:13.780><c> no</c><00:52:14.019><c> man</c><00:52:14.179><c> than</c><00:52:14.400><c> this,</c>

00:52:14.579 --> 00:52:16.639
that<00:52:14.679><c> he</c><00:52:14.800><c> lay</c><00:52:14.920><c> down</c><00:52:15.059><c> his</c><00:52:15.280><c> life</c><00:52:15.440><c> for</c><00:52:15.619><c> his</c><00:52:15.860><c> friends.</c>

00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:21.320
Doesn't<00:52:17.880><c> mean</c><00:52:18.079><c> to</c><00:52:18.199><c> say</c><00:52:18.320><c> we</c><00:52:18.460><c> have</c><00:52:18.679><c> to</c><00:52:18.860><c> die</c><00:52:19.119><c> as</c><00:52:19.340><c> he</c><00:52:19.500><c> did,</c><00:52:19.860><c> brothers</c><00:52:19.960><c> and</c><00:52:20.219><c> sisters.</c>

00:52:21.699 --> 00:52:24.860
Laying<00:52:21.940><c> down</c><00:52:22.039><c> your</c><00:52:22.280><c> life</c><00:52:22.440><c> is</c><00:52:22.659><c> not</c><00:52:22.840><c> only</c><00:52:23.219><c> just</c><00:52:23.940><c> dying,</c>

00:52:26.039 --> 00:52:27.519
it's<00:52:26.139><c> giving</c><00:52:26.320><c> up</c><00:52:26.619><c> things.</c>

00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:30.280
Giving<00:52:29.039><c> up</c><00:52:29.340><c> things.</c>

00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:35.440
So<00:52:32.199><c> we</c><00:52:32.639><c> do</c><00:52:32.960><c> things,</c><00:52:33.420><c> perhaps,</c><00:52:34.099><c> that</c><00:52:34.219><c> in</c><00:52:34.420><c> our</c><00:52:34.619><c> view,</c>

00:52:35.940 --> 00:52:36.960
there's<00:52:36.360><c> no</c><00:52:36.659><c> problem.</c>

00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:39.679
We<00:52:37.179><c> have</c><00:52:37.380><c> no</c><00:52:37.719><c> conscience</c><00:52:38.199><c> about</c><00:52:38.539><c> that.</c>

00:52:39.699 --> 00:52:41.179
We<00:52:39.820><c> say</c><00:52:40.039><c> things,</c><00:52:40.480><c> which</c><00:52:40.599><c> in</c><00:52:40.760><c> our</c><00:52:40.980><c> view,</c>

00:52:41.340 --> 00:52:43.699
there's<00:52:41.599><c> nothing</c><00:52:41.820><c> wrong</c><00:52:42.239><c> with</c><00:52:42.380><c> what</c><00:52:42.519><c> we</c><00:52:42.800><c> say.</c>

00:52:44.059 --> 00:52:46.679
But<00:52:44.139><c> what</c><00:52:44.300><c> if</c><00:52:44.400><c> it</c><00:52:44.519><c> upsets</c><00:52:44.980><c> our</c><00:52:45.199><c> brother</c><00:52:45.360><c> or</c><00:52:45.539><c> our</c><00:52:45.739><c> sister?</c>

00:52:47.519 --> 00:52:48.760
What<00:52:47.639><c> do</c><00:52:47.820><c> you</c><00:52:47.840><c> do?</c>

00:52:48.900 --> 00:52:49.820
Simple.

00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:52.139
Don't<00:52:50.780><c> do</c><00:52:50.920><c> it.</c>

00:52:52.900 --> 00:52:54.920
You<00:52:53.139><c> lay</c><00:52:53.260><c> down</c><00:52:53.420><c> your</c><00:52:53.579><c> life</c><00:52:53.760><c> for</c><00:52:53.840><c> your</c><00:52:54.039><c> friends.</c>

00:52:56.360 --> 00:52:59.360
Because<00:52:56.519><c> that's</c><00:52:56.760><c> what</c><00:52:56.940><c> God</c><00:52:57.099><c> did</c><00:52:57.500><c> through</c><00:52:57.900><c> his</c><00:52:58.159><c> son.</c>

00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:01.860
He<00:52:59.619><c> told</c><00:52:59.619><c> his</c><00:52:59.800><c> son</c><00:52:59.920><c> to</c><00:53:00.039><c> lay</c><00:53:00.159><c> down</c><00:53:00.320><c> his</c><00:53:00.480><c> life</c><00:53:00.659><c> for</c><00:53:00.780><c> his</c><00:53:01.019><c> friends.</c>

00:53:03.019 --> 00:53:04.300
So<00:53:03.460><c> you</c><00:53:03.719><c> do</c><00:53:03.900><c> everything.</c>

00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:06.019
You<00:53:04.599><c> give</c><00:53:04.719><c> no</c><00:53:05.019><c> offence,</c><00:53:05.420><c> says</c><00:53:05.639><c> Paul,</c>

00:53:06.179 --> 00:53:07.460
to<00:53:06.340><c> the</c><00:53:06.539><c> Jews,</c><00:53:06.940><c> to</c><00:53:07.019><c> the</c><00:53:07.239><c> Greeks,</c>

00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:09.099
not<00:53:07.760><c> of</c><00:53:07.860><c> the</c><00:53:08.039><c> accretion</c><00:53:08.300><c> of</c><00:53:08.480><c> God.</c>

00:53:09.340 --> 00:53:12.300
You're<00:53:09.780><c> not</c><00:53:10.000><c> in</c><00:53:10.219><c> food</c><00:53:10.460><c> or</c><00:53:10.719><c> drink</c><00:53:11.059><c> or</c><00:53:11.440><c> anything.</c>

00:53:13.340 --> 00:53:15.059
So<00:53:13.519><c> laying</c><00:53:13.719><c> down</c><00:53:13.920><c> your</c><00:53:14.119><c> life,</c><00:53:14.460><c> brothers</c><00:53:14.599><c> and</c><00:53:14.860><c> sisters,</c>

00:53:15.099 --> 00:53:19.019
is<00:53:15.320><c> just</c><00:53:15.619><c> denying</c><00:53:16.099><c> yourself</c><00:53:17.340><c> legitimate</c><00:53:18.000><c> pleasures,</c>

00:53:19.519 --> 00:53:22.300
justifiable<00:53:19.960><c> actions</c><00:53:20.400><c> or</c><00:53:20.679><c> words</c><00:53:20.980><c> that</c><00:53:21.219><c> you</c><00:53:21.480><c> find</c><00:53:21.760><c> no</c><00:53:22.000><c> problem</c><00:53:22.159><c> with,</c>

00:53:22.300 --> 00:53:24.360
but<00:53:22.440><c> if</c><00:53:22.519><c> someone</c><00:53:22.659><c> else</c><00:53:22.880><c> finds</c><00:53:22.980><c> a</c><00:53:23.139><c> problem,</c><00:53:23.400><c> forget</c><00:53:23.800><c> it!</c>

00:53:24.820 --> 00:53:26.380
You've<00:53:25.179><c> lost</c><00:53:25.380><c> nothing.</c>

00:53:26.420 --> 00:53:28.579
Perhaps<00:53:26.860><c> a</c><00:53:26.980><c> bit</c><00:53:27.420><c> inconvenient.</c>

00:53:28.699 --> 00:53:30.480
Perhaps<00:53:29.099><c> things</c><00:53:29.320><c> you</c><00:53:29.400><c> would</c><00:53:29.579><c> have</c><00:53:29.800><c> liked</c><00:53:29.960><c> to</c><00:53:30.119><c> have</c><00:53:30.219><c> done.</c>

00:53:30.539 --> 00:53:31.800
So<00:53:30.739><c> what?</c>

00:53:32.860 --> 00:53:34.539
The<00:53:32.940><c> love</c><00:53:33.159><c> of</c><00:53:33.300><c> God.</c>

00:53:34.940 --> 00:53:35.980
It's<00:53:35.000><c> greater</c><00:53:35.199><c> than</c><00:53:35.360><c> all</c><00:53:35.619><c> that.</c>

00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:37.739
That's<00:53:36.659><c> what</c><00:53:36.679><c> he's</c><00:53:37.019><c> saying.</c>

00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:38.960
He<00:53:38.219><c> went</c><00:53:38.380><c> to</c><00:53:38.480><c> the</c><00:53:38.639><c> full</c><00:53:38.820><c> length.</c>

00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:40.420
He<00:53:39.079><c> actually</c><00:53:39.539><c> did</c><00:53:39.880><c> give</c><00:53:40.019><c> his</c><00:53:40.260><c> life.</c>

00:53:40.539 --> 00:53:42.239
He<00:53:40.579><c> actually</c><00:53:40.920><c> did</c><00:53:41.219><c> die.</c>

00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:43.280
When<00:53:42.460><c> asked</c><00:53:42.699><c> to</c><00:53:42.880><c> do</c><00:53:43.059><c> that,</c>

00:53:43.539 --> 00:53:44.980

00:56:16.659 --> 00:56:18.420
and<00:56:16.880><c> teaches</c><00:56:17.239><c> his</c><00:56:17.519><c> family</c><00:56:17.800><c> the</c><00:56:18.119><c> same,</c>

00:56:18.679 --> 00:56:20.380
and<00:56:18.800><c> I</c><00:56:19.039><c> won't</c><00:56:19.380><c> hide</c><00:56:19.900><c> from</c><00:56:20.079><c> him</c>

00:56:20.380 --> 00:56:21.559
what<00:56:20.559><c> I'm</c><00:56:20.800><c> going</c><00:56:21.019><c> to</c><00:56:21.239><c> do.</c>

00:56:21.800 --> 00:56:24.400
That's<00:56:22.320><c> exactly</c><00:56:22.760><c> where</c><00:56:22.940><c> he</c><00:56:23.079><c> got</c><00:56:23.280><c> you</c><00:56:23.519><c> from.</c>

00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:29.639
So<00:56:26.000><c> here</c><00:56:26.340><c> is</c><00:56:26.639><c> the</c><00:56:26.940><c> true</c><00:56:27.559><c> seed</c><00:56:28.059><c> of</c><00:56:28.460><c> Abraham,</c>

00:56:30.860 --> 00:56:32.159
who<00:56:31.099><c> do</c><00:56:31.420><c> the</c><00:56:31.679><c> commandments</c>

00:56:32.159 --> 00:56:33.480
of<00:56:32.420><c> the</c><00:56:32.480><c> Lord</c><00:56:32.739><c> Jesus</c><00:56:33.119><c> Christ,</c>

00:56:33.519 --> 00:56:34.900
and<00:56:33.599><c> of</c><00:56:33.679><c> his</c><00:56:33.880><c> Father,</c>

00:56:35.079 --> 00:56:36.159
become<00:56:35.400><c> God's</c><00:56:35.960><c> friends,</c>

00:56:36.320 --> 00:56:39.280
and<00:56:36.400><c> God</c><00:56:36.639><c> will</c><00:56:36.940><c> whisper</c><00:56:37.239><c> in</c><00:56:37.320><c> our</c><00:56:37.539><c> ear</c><00:56:37.780><c> all</c><00:56:38.139><c> his</c><00:56:38.300><c> secrets.</c>

00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:41.780
I'm<00:56:40.679><c> not</c><00:56:40.840><c> going</c><00:56:40.960><c> to</c><00:56:40.980><c> hide</c><00:56:41.199><c> from</c><00:56:41.440><c> Abraham</c>

00:56:41.780 --> 00:56:42.579
the<00:56:41.900><c> thing</c><00:56:42.059><c> that</c><00:56:42.300><c> I</c><00:56:42.400><c> do,</c>

00:56:43.019 --> 00:56:44.699
because<00:56:43.079><c> he's</c><00:56:43.360><c> my</c><00:56:43.940><c> intimate</c><00:56:44.360><c> friend,</c>

00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:46.659
because<00:56:45.000><c> he</c><00:56:45.179><c> does</c><00:56:45.460><c> that.</c>

00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:48.619
Now<00:56:47.420><c> isn't</c><00:56:47.480><c> that</c><00:56:47.679><c> interesting?</c>

00:56:49.320 --> 00:56:51.440
That<00:56:49.400><c> is</c><00:56:49.719><c> straight</c><00:56:50.119><c> out</c><00:56:50.300><c> of</c><00:56:50.440><c> the</c><00:56:50.539><c> Old</c><00:56:50.739><c> Testament</c><00:56:51.039><c> Scriptures,</c>

00:56:51.659 --> 00:56:53.059

00:56:53.380 --> 00:56:55.320
Straight<00:56:53.699><c> out</c><00:56:53.880><c> of</c><00:56:54.360><c> it.</c>

00:56:55.760 --> 00:56:57.760
So<00:56:56.000><c> Jesus</c><00:56:56.280><c> goes</c><00:56:56.559><c> on,</c>

00:56:58.800 --> 00:56:59.639
I<00:56:58.920><c> called</c><00:56:59.179><c> you</c><00:56:59.400><c> friends,</c>

00:56:59.820 --> 00:56:59.940
and<00:56:59.820><c> he</c><00:56:59.820><c> said,</c>

00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:01.699
For<00:57:00.099><c> all</c><00:57:00.380><c> things</c><00:57:00.579><c> I</c><00:57:00.820><c> have</c><00:57:00.860><c> heard</c><00:57:01.079><c> of</c><00:57:01.219><c> my</c><00:57:01.400><c> Father,</c>

00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:04.500
I<00:57:01.940><c> have</c><00:57:02.260><c> made</c><00:57:02.860><c> known</c><00:57:03.219><c> unto</c><00:57:03.539><c> you</c>

00:57:04.500 --> 00:57:06.579
the<00:57:05.059><c> revelation</c><00:57:05.639><c> of</c><00:57:05.860><c> Jesus</c><00:57:06.260><c> Christ,</c>

00:57:06.599 --> 00:57:07.980
which<00:57:06.820><c> God</c><00:57:07.099><c> gave</c><00:57:07.380><c> unto</c><00:57:07.639><c> him,</c>

00:57:07.980 --> 00:57:10.300
to<00:57:08.260><c> show</c><00:57:08.559><c> unto</c><00:57:08.800><c> his</c><00:57:09.119><c> servants</c><00:57:09.440><c> things</c><00:57:09.760><c> which</c><00:57:09.960><c> must</c>

00:57:10.300 --> 00:57:11.599
shortly<00:57:10.679><c> come</c><00:57:11.059><c> to</c><00:57:11.280><c> pass.</c>

00:57:11.659 --> 00:57:14.360
Revelation<00:57:12.079><c> chapter</c><00:57:12.460><c> 1</c><00:57:12.659><c> verse</c><00:57:12.920><c> 1.</c>

00:57:14.780 --> 00:57:16.719
So<00:57:14.940><c> Revelation</c><00:57:15.360><c> chapter</c><00:57:15.760><c> 1</c><00:57:16.000><c> and</c><00:57:16.139><c> verse</c><00:57:16.380><c> 1</c>

because<00:57:34.059><c> it's</c><00:57:34.199><c> written</c><00:57:34.340><c> to</c><00:57:34.519><c> his</c><00:57:34.719><c> friends.</c>

00:57:36.460 --> 00:57:37.920
It's<00:57:36.900><c> marvelous,</c><00:57:37.519><c> brothers</c><00:57:37.639><c> and</c><00:57:37.840><c> sisters.</c>

00:57:37.980 --> 00:57:38.980
It's<00:57:38.139><c> a</c><00:57:38.239><c> very</c><00:57:38.480><c> simple</c><00:57:38.699><c> thing,</c>

00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:40.480
but<00:57:39.179><c> it's</c><00:57:39.340><c> very</c><00:57:39.579><c> wonderful.</c>

00:57:40.860 --> 00:57:41.980
So<00:57:40.960><c> you</c><00:57:41.019><c> know,</c><00:57:41.340><c> people</c><00:57:41.559><c> say,</c>

I'm<00:57:45.380><c> not</c><00:57:45.679><c> a</c><00:57:45.820><c> natural</c><00:57:46.159><c> student,</c>

00:57:46.699 --> 00:57:48.420
I<00:57:46.980><c> didn't</c><00:57:47.239><c> have</c><00:57:47.360><c> a</c><00:57:47.420><c> good</c><00:57:47.599><c> education</c><00:57:48.039><c> at</c><00:57:48.280><c> school,</c>

00:57:51.179 --> 00:57:53.320
Well,<00:57:51.760><c> here's</c><00:57:52.019><c> news</c><00:57:52.239><c> for</c><00:57:52.440><c> you,</c><00:57:52.739><c> brothers</c><00:57:52.920><c> and</c><00:57:53.139><c> sisters,</c>

00:57:53.320 --> 00:57:56.199
I<00:57:53.500><c> never</c><00:57:53.699><c> had</c><00:57:53.920><c> a</c><00:57:54.039><c> single</c><00:57:54.360><c> qualification</c><00:57:55.059><c> at</c><00:57:55.380><c> school.</c>

00:57:56.500 --> 00:57:57.860
I<00:57:56.619><c> was</c><00:57:56.800><c> just</c><00:57:57.320><c> hopeless.</c>

00:57:58.300 --> 00:58:00.099
But<00:57:58.539><c> the</c><00:57:58.639><c> thing</c><00:57:58.860><c> is,</c>

00:58:00.739 --> 00:58:02.860
you've<00:58:01.179><c> got</c><00:58:01.360><c> to</c><00:58:01.780><c> be</c><00:58:01.960><c> a</c><00:58:02.219><c> friend</c><00:58:02.400><c> of</c><00:58:02.579><c> God,</c>

00:58:06.380 --> 00:58:09.400
if<00:58:06.559><c> you're</c><00:58:06.800><c> doing</c><00:58:06.940><c> what</c><00:58:07.079><c> he's</c><00:58:07.420><c> telling</c><00:58:07.579><c> you.</c>

00:58:09.420 --> 00:58:11.019
That's<00:58:09.519><c> what</c><00:58:09.659><c> Jesus</c><00:58:09.980><c> said</c><00:58:10.239><c> here.</c>

00:58:11.500 --> 00:58:12.519
Bringing<00:58:11.619><c> forth</c><00:58:12.000><c> this</c><00:58:12.280><c> fruit,</c>

00:58:12.719 --> 00:58:14.000
brothers<00:58:12.840><c> and</c><00:58:13.019><c> sisters.</c>

00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:16.179
And<00:58:14.719><c> no</c><00:58:14.960><c> greater</c><00:58:15.199><c> fruit</c><00:58:15.500><c> can</c><00:58:15.699><c> we</c><00:58:15.960><c> have</c>

00:58:19.219 --> 00:58:20.559
Now<00:58:19.420><c> let's</c><00:58:19.559><c> just</c><00:58:19.860><c> finish</c><00:58:20.139><c> with</c><00:58:20.340><c> these</c>

00:58:24.139 --> 00:58:25.760
Here's<00:58:24.300><c> a</c><00:58:24.460><c> wonderful</c><00:58:24.719><c> thing.</c>

00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:27.599
Jesus<00:58:26.659><c> said,</c>

00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:31.019
You<00:58:29.019><c> haven't</c><00:58:29.380><c> chosen</c><00:58:29.760><c> me,</c>

00:58:32.059 --> 00:58:34.360

and<00:58:35.760><c> I've</c><00:58:36.260><c> ordained</c><00:58:36.659><c> you</c>

00:58:37.059 --> 00:58:38.900
that<00:58:37.199><c> you</c><00:58:37.380><c> should</c><00:58:37.639><c> bring</c><00:58:38.099><c> forth</c><00:58:38.480><c> fruit.</c>

00:58:39.300 --> 00:58:41.239
Now<00:58:39.599><c> the</c><00:58:39.659><c> word</c><00:58:39.940><c> ordained</c><00:58:40.559><c> is</c><00:58:40.760><c> interesting</c>

00:58:41.239 --> 00:58:44.139
because<00:58:41.619><c> it</c><00:58:41.760><c> means</c><00:58:42.320><c> to</c><00:58:42.679><c> place.</c>

00:58:45.780 --> 00:58:47.099
Rutherham<00:58:46.219><c> renders</c><00:58:46.599><c> it,</c>

00:58:47.480 --> 00:58:48.719
placed<00:58:47.780><c> you.</c>

00:58:49.599 --> 00:58:50.940
So<00:58:49.820><c> you</c><00:58:49.960><c> see,</c><00:58:50.159><c> he's</c><00:58:50.219><c> still</c><00:58:50.500><c> talking</c>

00:58:50.940 --> 00:58:52.539
in<00:58:51.440><c> the</c><00:58:51.739><c> agricultural</c><00:58:52.239><c> terms,</c>

00:58:52.559 --> 00:58:54.900
in<00:58:52.880><c> the</c><00:58:53.159><c> sense</c><00:58:53.440><c> that</c><00:58:53.699><c> he</c><00:58:53.860><c> said,</c>

00:58:55.500 --> 00:58:58.199
now<00:58:55.900><c> you</c><00:58:56.659><c> didn't</c><00:58:57.019><c> choose</c><00:58:57.500><c> to</c><00:58:57.739><c> follow</c><00:58:57.920><c> me,</c>

00:58:58.400 --> 00:58:59.519
you<00:58:58.659><c> might</c><00:58:58.940><c> think</c><00:58:59.280><c> you</c><00:58:59.420><c> did,</c>

00:58:59.519 --> 00:59:01.960
you<00:58:59.659><c> might</c><00:58:59.900><c> think</c><00:59:00.119><c> that</c><00:59:00.400><c> you</c><00:59:00.599><c> made</c><00:59:00.840><c> a</c><00:59:01.059><c> conscious</c><00:59:01.380><c> decision</c>

00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:03.739
to<00:59:02.559><c> follow</c><00:59:02.760><c> the</c><00:59:02.840><c> Lord</c><00:59:03.059><c> Jesus</c><00:59:03.440><c> Christ</c>

00:59:03.739 --> 00:59:04.320
out<00:59:03.900><c> of</c><00:59:04.000><c> the</c><00:59:04.219><c> blue.</c>

00:59:04.360 --> 00:59:06.539
You<00:59:04.579><c> didn't.</c>

00:59:06.960 --> 00:59:08.679
You<00:59:07.400><c> might</c><00:59:07.619><c> have</c><00:59:07.699><c> been</c><00:59:07.820><c> unaware</c><00:59:08.159><c> of</c><00:59:08.300><c> it,</c><00:59:08.420><c> he</c><00:59:08.500><c> said,</c>

00:59:08.760 --> 00:59:10.159
but<00:59:08.900><c> you've</c><00:59:09.260><c> been</c><00:59:09.480><c> influenced</c><00:59:09.820><c> by</c><00:59:10.059><c> it.</c>

00:59:10.460 --> 00:59:13.159
There's<00:59:10.719><c> circumstances</c><00:59:11.360><c> which</c><00:59:11.659><c> God</c><00:59:11.860><c> brought</c><00:59:12.139><c> in</c><00:59:12.280><c> your</c><00:59:12.519><c> life.</c>

00:59:13.400 --> 00:59:15.360
What<00:59:13.639><c> a</c><00:59:13.760><c> brother</c><00:59:13.980><c> and</c><00:59:14.139><c> sister</c><00:59:14.300><c> here</c><00:59:14.519><c> couldn't</c><00:59:14.760><c> tell</c><00:59:14.980><c> a</c><00:59:15.159><c> story</c>

00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:16.199
had<00:59:15.460><c> they</c><00:59:15.619><c> come</c><00:59:15.780><c> to</c><00:59:15.900><c> the</c><00:59:16.059><c> truth.</c>

00:59:16.360 --> 00:59:18.519
Even<00:59:16.559><c> if</c><00:59:16.719><c> they</c><00:59:16.920><c> grew</c><00:59:17.019><c> up</c><00:59:17.219><c> as</c><00:59:17.619><c> a</c><00:59:17.760><c> Christadelphian</c><00:59:18.280><c> child</c>

00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:19.519
in<00:59:18.679><c> a</c><00:59:18.739><c> Christadelphian</c><00:59:19.300><c> home,</c>

00:59:19.639 --> 00:59:21.440
it's<00:59:19.900><c> still</c><00:59:20.119><c> a</c><00:59:20.280><c> calling</c><00:59:20.400><c> of</c><00:59:20.579><c> God.</c>

00:59:22.380 --> 00:59:23.559
I<00:59:22.659><c> came</c><00:59:22.820><c> out</c><00:59:22.960><c> of</c><00:59:23.019><c> the</c><00:59:23.179><c> well,</c><00:59:23.280><c> brothers,</c>

00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:26.219
and<00:59:23.860><c> there's</c><00:59:24.199><c> not</c><00:59:24.460><c> a</c><00:59:25.019><c> shadow</c><00:59:25.619><c> of</c><00:59:25.920><c> a</c><00:59:26.000><c> doubt</c>

00:59:26.219 --> 00:59:27.219
that<00:59:26.400><c> God</c><00:59:26.699><c> called</c><00:59:26.960><c> me</c>

00:59:27.219 --> 00:59:28.880
because<00:59:27.460><c> I</c><00:59:27.659><c> was</c><00:59:28.000><c> not</c><00:59:28.239><c> looking</c><00:59:28.500><c> for</c><00:59:28.760><c> God</c>

00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:30.239
and<00:59:29.039><c> couldn't</c><00:59:29.320><c> care</c><00:59:29.599><c> less</c><00:59:29.840><c> for</c><00:59:30.099><c> God</c>

00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:31.539
and<00:59:30.380><c> didn't</c><00:59:30.579><c> know</c><00:59:30.699><c> anything</c><00:59:30.880><c> about</c><00:59:31.139><c> the</c><00:59:31.360><c> Bible</c>

00:59:31.539 --> 00:59:33.699
and<00:59:31.699><c> didn't</c><00:59:32.039><c> care</c><00:59:32.480><c> for</c><00:59:32.659><c> the</c><00:59:32.840><c> Bible.</c>

00:59:34.860 --> 00:59:37.059
And<00:59:35.019><c> it</c><00:59:35.199><c> absolutely</c><00:59:35.739><c> fell</c><00:59:36.119><c> right</c><00:59:36.380><c> in</c><00:59:36.659><c> front</c><00:59:36.760><c> of</c><00:59:36.880><c> me,</c>

00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:39.099
right<00:59:37.400><c> between</c><00:59:37.800><c> the</c><00:59:38.099><c> eyes.</c>

00:59:39.780 --> 00:59:41.079
And<00:59:39.940><c> I</c><00:59:40.119><c> didn't</c><00:59:40.360><c> choose</c><00:59:40.780><c> God,</c>

00:59:41.199 --> 00:59:42.820
there's<00:59:41.300><c> no</c><00:59:41.559><c> question</c><00:59:41.840><c> of</c><00:59:42.039><c> that,</c><00:59:42.300><c> whatever.</c>

00:59:43.239 --> 00:59:44.320
And<00:59:43.400><c> Jesus</c><00:59:43.699><c> is</c><00:59:43.920><c> telling</c><00:59:44.019><c> that,</c>

00:59:44.460 --> 00:59:46.039
so<00:59:44.559><c> he's</c><00:59:44.760><c> telling</c><00:59:44.860><c> his</c><00:59:45.079><c> disciples,</c>

00:59:46.420 --> 00:59:47.659
I<00:59:46.539><c> want</c><00:59:46.719><c> you</c><00:59:46.880><c> to</c><00:59:47.000><c> produce</c><00:59:47.300><c> fruit,</c>

00:59:48.119 --> 00:59:49.000
here's<00:59:48.420><c> your</c><00:59:48.579><c> vineyard,</c>

00:59:49.440 --> 00:59:51.340
I<00:59:50.000><c> planted</c><00:59:50.420><c> you</c><00:59:50.800><c> here.</c>

00:59:51.340 --> 00:59:54.099
You<00:59:51.900><c> didn't</c><00:59:53.000><c> sort</c><00:59:53.219><c> of</c><00:59:53.340><c> go</c><00:59:53.539><c> up</c><00:59:53.760><c> somewhere</c>

00:59:54.099 --> 00:59:55.659
and<00:59:54.320><c> find</c><00:59:54.420><c> a</c><00:59:54.579><c> little</c><00:59:54.840><c> paddock</c><00:59:55.059><c> and</c><00:59:55.219><c> dig</c><00:59:55.380><c> a</c><00:59:55.539><c> hole</c>

00:59:55.659 --> 00:59:56.699
and<00:59:55.840><c> put</c><00:59:56.019><c> a</c><00:59:56.219><c> vine</c><00:59:56.340><c> down</c><00:59:56.500><c> and</c><00:59:56.619><c> say,</c>

00:59:56.760 --> 00:59:58.800
I'm<00:59:56.800><c> going</c><00:59:56.940><c> to</c><00:59:57.099><c> seek</c><00:59:57.260><c> God,</c><00:59:57.840><c> because</c><00:59:57.940><c> that's</c><00:59:58.119><c> not</c><00:59:58.320><c> my</c><00:59:58.559><c> vineyard.</c>

00:59:58.900 --> 01:00:00.219
I<00:59:59.239><c> have</c><00:59:59.500><c> placed</c><00:59:59.820><c> you.</c>

01:00:00.639 --> 01:00:02.539
So<01:00:00.820><c> they're</c><01:00:00.940><c> all</c><01:00:01.059><c> in</c><01:00:01.179><c> his</c><01:00:01.360><c> vineyard.</c>

01:00:03.039 --> 01:00:03.840
It's<01:00:03.139><c> wonderful</c><01:00:03.260><c> to</c><01:00:03.480><c> think</c><01:00:03.659><c> that,</c>

01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:05.480
that<01:00:03.960><c> God</c><01:00:04.179><c> has</c><01:00:04.460><c> superintended</c><01:00:04.980><c> our</c><01:00:05.300><c> lives,</c>

01:00:05.579 --> 01:00:08.579
we're<01:00:05.679><c> all</c><01:00:05.880><c> here</c><01:00:06.260><c> and</c><01:00:06.699><c> we've</c><01:00:07.000><c> been</c><01:00:07.360><c> planted</c><01:00:07.739><c> right</c><01:00:08.300><c> here,</c>

01:00:08.699 --> 01:00:09.460
brothers<01:00:08.860><c> and</c><01:00:09.079><c> sisters,</c>

01:00:09.619 --> 01:00:12.179
right<01:00:10.039><c> here</c><01:00:10.340><c> in</c><01:00:10.460><c> our</c><01:00:10.659><c> ecclesial</c><01:00:11.079><c> environment</c>

01:00:12.219 --> 01:00:14.099
and<01:00:12.619><c> that's</c><01:00:12.900><c> where</c><01:00:13.039><c> we</c><01:00:13.300><c> stay.</c>

01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:16.139
He<01:00:14.840><c> says,</c><01:00:15.079><c> now</c><01:00:15.199><c> you</c><01:00:15.440><c> stay</c><01:00:15.719><c> here,</c>

01:00:16.460 --> 01:00:17.519
I've<01:00:16.920><c> placed</c><01:00:17.099><c> you</c><01:00:17.340><c> here,</c>

01:00:17.519 --> 01:00:20.019
and<01:00:17.880><c> I've</c><01:00:18.119><c> done</c><01:00:18.280><c> it</c><01:00:18.460><c> because</c><01:00:18.679><c> you</c><01:00:18.940><c> might</c><01:00:19.199><c> bring</c><01:00:19.500><c> forth</c><01:00:19.820><c> fruit.</c>

01:00:20.219 --> 01:00:21.099
This<01:00:20.219><c> is</c><01:00:20.440><c> good</c><01:00:20.739><c> soil,</c>

01:00:21.500 --> 01:00:23.179
the<01:00:21.699><c> best</c><01:00:21.960><c> soil.</c>

01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:25.260
Good<01:00:24.219><c> soil.</c>

01:00:25.500 --> 01:00:26.679
Whatever,<01:00:25.940><c> in</c><01:00:26.119><c> verse</c><01:00:26.320><c> 17,</c>

01:00:26.840 --> 01:00:28.739
whatever<01:00:27.059><c> you</c><01:00:27.300><c> ask</c><01:00:27.679><c> of</c><01:00:27.840><c> the</c><01:00:28.000><c> Father</c><01:00:28.199><c> in</c><01:00:28.380><c> my</c><01:00:28.579><c> name,</c>

01:00:28.739 --> 01:00:30.880
he'll<01:00:28.940><c> give</c><01:00:29.119><c> it</c><01:00:29.239><c> to</c><01:00:29.320><c> you,</c><01:00:29.719><c> if</c><01:00:29.820><c> you're</c><01:00:30.139><c> here.</c>

01:00:30.940 --> 01:00:32.340
That's<01:00:31.139><c> what</c><01:00:31.239><c> he's</c><01:00:31.559><c> saying.</c>

01:00:34.059 --> 01:00:35.579
The<01:00:34.280><c> inference</c><01:00:34.460><c> is</c><01:00:34.599><c> all</c><01:00:34.820><c> the</c><01:00:35.000><c> time,</c>

01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:36.920
God<01:00:35.920><c> will</c><01:00:36.019><c> do</c><01:00:36.099><c> anything</c><01:00:36.480><c> for</c><01:00:36.719><c> us,</c>

01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:38.159
he'll<01:00:37.239><c> answer</c><01:00:37.380><c> any</c><01:00:37.599><c> of</c><01:00:37.739><c> our</c><01:00:37.880><c> prayers,</c>

01:00:38.420 --> 01:00:40.780

It's<01:00:54.219><c> so</c><01:00:54.619><c> wonderful.</c>

01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:58.079

01:01:09.460 --> 01:01:11.260
You<01:01:09.940><c> go</c><01:01:10.179><c> past</c><01:01:10.539><c> the</c><01:01:10.739><c> vineyard,</c>

01:01:11.619 --> 01:01:12.739
it's<01:01:11.860><c> a</c><01:01:11.960><c> wonderful</c><01:01:12.300><c> sight.</c>

01:01:12.739 --> 01:01:14.340
You're<01:01:13.599><c> driving</c><01:01:13.960><c> along,</c>

01:01:14.619 --> 01:01:18.039

01:01:18.059 --> 01:01:20.699
Now<01:01:18.219><c> you</c><01:01:18.219><c> don't</c><01:01:18.500><c> see</c><01:01:18.760><c> one</c><01:01:19.039><c> over</c><01:01:19.219><c> the</c><01:01:19.400><c> hill</c><01:01:19.559><c> over</c><01:01:19.800><c> here,</c>

01:01:22.579 --> 01:01:23.980
They're<01:01:22.800><c> all</c><01:01:23.000><c> in</c><01:01:23.159><c> one</c><01:01:23.579><c> vineyard,</c>

01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:31.579
and<01:01:30.480><c> they</c><01:01:30.619><c> meet</c><01:01:30.800><c> up</c><01:01:30.980><c> with</c><01:01:31.119><c> each</c><01:01:31.340><c> other.</c>

01:01:31.739 --> 01:01:34.320
And<01:01:31.900><c> when</c><01:01:32.579><c> the</c><01:01:32.800><c> leaves</c><01:01:33.019><c> all</c><01:01:33.400><c> come,</c>

01:01:34.719 --> 01:01:36.480
after<01:01:34.980><c> the</c><01:01:35.280><c> spring</c><01:01:35.500><c> growth</c><01:01:35.820><c> and</c><01:01:36.019><c> so</c><01:01:36.280><c> forth,</c>

01:01:36.500 --> 01:01:38.400
and<01:01:36.659><c> the</c><01:01:36.820><c> fruit</c><01:01:37.019><c> starts</c><01:01:37.360><c> to</c><01:01:37.639><c> appear,</c>

01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:40.380
you<01:01:38.960><c> could</c><01:01:39.300><c> never</c><01:01:39.659><c> see,</c><01:01:40.139><c> originally.</c>

01:01:40.380 --> 01:01:42.300
You<01:01:40.559><c> couldn't</c><01:01:40.840><c> say,</c><01:01:41.340><c> well,</c><01:01:41.559><c> that</c><01:01:41.659><c> bunch</c><01:01:41.940><c> of</c><01:01:42.159><c> grapes,</c>

01:01:42.480 --> 01:01:44.820
I<01:01:42.539><c> reckon</c><01:01:42.860><c> it's</c><01:01:43.159><c> about</c><01:01:43.380><c> the</c><01:01:43.599><c> third</c><01:01:43.760><c> or</c><01:01:43.900><c> the</c><01:01:44.139><c> fourth</c><01:01:44.360><c> vine</c><01:01:44.639><c> along.</c>

01:01:44.860 --> 01:01:45.780
You<01:01:45.019><c> wouldn't</c><01:01:45.400><c> know.</c>

01:01:46.159 --> 01:01:49.119
It<01:01:46.300><c> might</c><01:01:46.480><c> be</c><01:01:46.760><c> the</c><01:01:46.940><c> fifth</c><01:01:47.179><c> vine</c><01:01:47.440><c> along</c><01:01:47.619><c> or</c><01:01:47.800><c> the</c><01:01:48.000><c> sixth.</c>

01:01:50.280 --> 01:01:52.219
Because<01:01:50.619><c> it's</c><01:01:50.880><c> all</c><01:01:51.019><c> there</c><01:01:51.159><c> together.</c>

01:01:52.500 --> 01:01:54.239
Love<01:01:53.000><c> one</c><01:01:53.380><c> another.</c>

01:01:55.280 --> 01:01:56.619
Now<01:01:55.500><c> here's</c><01:01:55.780><c> a</c><01:01:55.880><c> wonderful</c><01:01:56.219><c> thing.</c>

01:01:56.860 --> 01:02:00.199
That<01:01:57.119><c> bread</c><01:01:57.460><c> and</c><01:01:57.860><c> that</c><01:01:58.119><c> wine</c><01:01:58.320><c> has</c><01:01:58.579><c> a</c><01:01:58.840><c> common</c><01:01:59.159><c> factor.</c>

01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:04.300
And<01:02:02.119><c> this</c><01:02:02.300><c> is</c><01:02:02.500><c> why</c><01:02:02.619><c> it's</c><01:02:02.880><c> chosen</c><01:02:03.119><c> by</c><01:02:03.360><c> the</c><01:02:03.519><c> Lord.</c>

01:02:04.619 --> 01:02:06.219
One<01:02:04.820><c> of</c><01:02:04.940><c> the</c><01:02:05.000><c> reasons,</c><01:02:05.320><c> anyway.</c>

01:02:06.340 --> 01:02:08.119
Because<01:02:06.719><c> in</c><01:02:07.039><c> that</c><01:02:07.239><c> loaf</c><01:02:07.440><c> of</c><01:02:07.699><c> bread</c>

01:02:08.119 --> 01:02:10.019

01:02:11.679 --> 01:02:14.159
And<01:02:11.780><c> when</c><01:02:11.860><c> you</c><01:02:12.059><c> take</c><01:02:12.300><c> your</c><01:02:12.460><c> little</c><01:02:12.679><c> piece</c><01:02:12.920><c> out</c><01:02:13.099><c> of</c><01:02:13.139><c> that</c><01:02:13.360><c> bread,</c>

01:02:15.039 --> 01:02:16.840
even<01:02:15.260><c> if</c><01:02:15.460><c> you</c><01:02:15.739><c> saw</c><01:02:16.000><c> the</c><01:02:16.179><c> heap</c><01:02:16.360><c> of</c><01:02:16.639><c> wheat</c>

01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:18.579
outside<01:02:17.760><c> before</c><01:02:18.099><c> it</c><01:02:18.219><c> was</c><01:02:18.380><c> made,</c>

01:02:18.639 --> 01:02:20.840
you<01:02:18.800><c> couldn't</c><01:02:19.079><c> say</c><01:02:19.599><c> that</c><01:02:20.039><c> that</c><01:02:20.219><c> little</c><01:02:20.420><c> piece</c><01:02:20.559><c> of</c><01:02:20.760><c> bread,</c>

01:02:20.860 --> 01:02:22.559
I<01:02:21.119><c> recognise</c><01:02:21.599><c> that,</c><01:02:21.800><c> that</c><01:02:21.980><c> was</c><01:02:22.079><c> that</c><01:02:22.380><c> grain</c>

01:02:26.579 --> 01:02:28.099
You<01:02:26.820><c> wouldn't</c><01:02:27.039><c> know</c><01:02:27.219><c> where</c><01:02:27.440><c> it</c><01:02:27.519><c> came</c><01:02:27.699><c> from.</c>

01:02:28.579 --> 01:02:30.639
Because<01:02:28.719><c> it</c><01:02:28.880><c> all</c><01:02:28.980><c> got</c><01:02:29.199><c> ground</c><01:02:29.420><c> into</c><01:02:29.659><c> powder,</c>

01:02:30.699 --> 01:02:32.280

01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:33.539
You<01:02:32.599><c> have</c><01:02:32.860><c> got</c><01:02:33.179><c> a</c><01:02:33.260><c> clue</c>

01:02:38.460 --> 01:02:40.480
Now<01:02:38.900><c> you</c><01:02:39.039><c> take</c><01:02:39.239><c> that</c><01:02:39.519><c> wine</c>

01:02:44.440 --> 01:02:45.599
And<01:02:44.539><c> you</c><01:02:44.679><c> compress</c><01:02:45.099><c> that.</c>

01:02:45.739 --> 01:02:46.800
Squeeze<01:02:46.119><c> them</c><01:02:46.300><c> all</c><01:02:46.440><c> together.</c>

01:02:47.059 --> 01:02:48.980
And<01:02:47.139><c> all</c><01:02:47.380><c> the</c><01:02:47.639><c> skins</c><01:02:47.880><c> burst</c>

01:02:52.420 --> 01:02:54.219
It<01:02:52.500><c> falls</c><01:02:52.579><c> into</c><01:02:52.800><c> the</c><01:02:52.960><c> receptacle</c><01:02:53.400><c> that</c><01:02:53.500><c> you</c><01:02:53.619><c> got</c><01:02:53.800><c> for</c><01:02:54.039><c> it.</c>

01:02:54.239 --> 01:02:56.179
And<01:02:54.320><c> you've</c><01:02:54.800><c> got</c><01:02:54.920><c> a</c><01:02:55.039><c> jug</c><01:02:55.179><c> of</c><01:02:55.360><c> wine.</c>

01:02:56.199 --> 01:02:58.179
Now<01:02:56.420><c> you</c><01:02:56.519><c> can't</c><01:02:56.880><c> put</c><01:02:57.079><c> a</c><01:02:57.119><c> little</c><01:02:57.460><c> spot</c><01:02:57.599><c> on</c><01:02:57.780><c> your</c><01:02:57.980><c> finger</c>

01:02:58.179 --> 01:03:00.239
and<01:02:58.340><c> say</c><01:02:58.400><c> I</c><01:02:58.619><c> reckon</c><01:02:58.860><c> that</c><01:02:59.360><c> came</c><01:02:59.579><c> from</c><01:02:59.739><c> the</c><01:03:00.019><c> grape</c>

01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:02.099
that<01:03:00.400><c> was</c><01:03:00.659><c> about</c><01:03:01.340><c> near</c><01:03:01.719><c> the</c><01:03:01.940><c> top,</c>

01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:04.019
about<01:03:02.360><c> an</c><01:03:02.460><c> inch</c><01:03:02.639><c> and</c><01:03:02.739><c> a</c><01:03:02.820><c> half</c><01:03:02.900><c> down</c><01:03:03.199><c> there.</c>

01:03:04.420 --> 01:03:06.000
You'd<01:03:04.860><c> never</c><01:03:05.059><c> know.</c>

01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:08.300
Would<01:03:07.239><c> you?</c>

01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:10.699
And<01:03:08.599><c> that's</c><01:03:08.760><c> what's</c><01:03:09.119><c> common</c><01:03:09.260><c> about</c><01:03:09.500><c> those</c><01:03:09.860><c> things.</c>

01:03:10.780 --> 01:03:12.159
So<01:03:10.840><c> here</c><01:03:11.039><c> we</c><01:03:11.159><c> are</c><01:03:11.300><c> brothers</c><01:03:11.559><c> and</c><01:03:11.900><c> sisters.</c>

01:03:12.340 --> 01:03:15.000
We're<01:03:12.760><c> hanging</c><01:03:13.039><c> on</c><01:03:13.260><c> the</c><01:03:13.440><c> vine</c><01:03:13.619><c> together.</c>

01:03:15.139 --> 01:03:16.719
It's<01:03:15.199><c> like</c><01:03:15.380><c> the</c><01:03:15.639><c> spies</c><01:03:16.000><c> brought</c><01:03:16.320><c> that</c>

01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:19.739
one<01:03:17.340><c> cluster</c><01:03:17.739><c> of</c><01:03:18.139><c> grapes</c><01:03:18.360><c> between</c><01:03:19.079><c> two.</c>

01:03:19.980 --> 01:03:21.719
A<01:03:20.219><c> marvellous</c><01:03:20.699><c> expression.</c>

01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:25.480
One<01:03:22.679><c> cluster</c><01:03:23.059><c> of</c><01:03:23.340><c> grapes</c><01:03:23.559><c> between</c><01:03:23.940><c> two.</c>

01:03:25.860 --> 01:03:28.440
Emphasising<01:03:26.420><c> that</c><01:03:26.679><c> unity</c><01:03:26.920><c> of</c><01:03:27.199><c> that</c><01:03:27.639><c> cluster.</c>

01:03:29.000 --> 01:03:30.639
Now<01:03:29.159><c> what</c><01:03:29.360><c> Jesus</c><01:03:29.699><c> said</c><01:03:30.059><c> in</c><01:03:30.440><c> Luke</c>

01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:32.039
when<01:03:30.820><c> he</c><01:03:30.960><c> said</c><01:03:31.159><c> this</c><01:03:31.380><c> about</c><01:03:31.599><c> that</c><01:03:31.840><c> wine,</c>

01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:34.179
and<01:03:32.260><c> I</c><01:03:32.460><c> find</c><01:03:32.599><c> this</c><01:03:32.960><c> extremely</c><01:03:33.659><c> interesting.</c>

01:03:34.179 --> 01:03:36.900
He<01:03:34.960><c> said</c><01:03:35.179><c> different</c><01:03:35.539><c> things</c><01:03:35.820><c> in</c><01:03:36.019><c> different</c><01:03:36.360><c> Gospel</c><01:03:36.619><c> records.</c>

01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:38.420
He<01:03:37.000><c> must</c><01:03:37.239><c> have</c><01:03:37.380><c> said</c><01:03:37.440><c> them</c><01:03:37.679><c> all,</c><01:03:37.900><c> of</c><01:03:38.139><c> course,</c>

01:03:38.500 --> 01:03:40.780
but<01:03:38.639><c> they</c><01:03:39.019><c> record</c><01:03:39.320><c> different</c><01:03:39.659><c> things.</c>

01:03:40.860 --> 01:03:42.960
And<01:03:40.980><c> Luke</c><01:03:41.159><c> said</c><01:03:41.480><c> that</c><01:03:41.719><c> when</c><01:03:41.840><c> he</c><01:03:42.019><c> got</c><01:03:42.179><c> that</c><01:03:42.519><c> wine</c><01:03:42.699><c> out,</c>

01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:44.820
which<01:03:43.159><c> was</c><01:03:43.599><c> after</c><01:03:43.920><c> supper.</c>

01:03:46.500 --> 01:03:47.539
Luke<01:03:46.699><c> makes</c><01:03:46.980><c> that</c><01:03:47.199><c> point.</c>

01:03:47.820 --> 01:03:50.599
Paul<01:03:48.059><c> repeats</c><01:03:48.579><c> it</c><01:03:48.960><c> in</c><01:03:49.079><c> 1</c><01:03:49.280><c> Corinthians</c><01:03:49.619><c> 11.</c>

01:03:50.980 --> 01:03:52.440
After<01:03:51.460><c> supper.</c>

01:03:53.960 --> 01:03:55.579
So<01:03:54.260><c> you</c><01:03:54.480><c> see</c><01:03:54.760><c> brothers</c><01:03:55.019><c> and</c><01:03:55.260><c> sisters,</c>

01:03:55.719 --> 01:03:58.179
it<01:03:55.960><c> speaks</c><01:03:56.340><c> of</c><01:03:56.539><c> a</c><01:03:56.699><c> new</c><01:03:56.900><c> life</c>

01:03:58.659 --> 01:04:00.579
because<01:03:59.139><c> of</c><01:03:59.280><c> the</c><01:03:59.460><c> life</c><01:03:59.659><c> that's</c><01:03:59.900><c> given.</c>

01:04:00.800 --> 01:04:01.980
And<01:04:00.940><c> when</c><01:04:01.039><c> he</c><01:04:01.179><c> gave</c><01:04:01.260><c> that</c><01:04:01.480><c> wine</c><01:04:01.679><c> in</c><01:04:01.840><c> Luke,</c>

01:04:01.980 --> 01:04:02.880
he<01:04:02.179><c> said</c><01:04:02.360><c> to</c><01:04:02.380><c> them,</c>

01:04:03.219 --> 01:04:04.360
you've<01:04:03.480><c> handed</c><01:04:03.619><c> that</c><01:04:03.840><c> cup</c><01:04:04.039><c> of</c><01:04:04.360><c> wine,</c>

01:04:04.420 --> 01:04:05.480
and<01:04:04.579><c> he</c><01:04:04.579><c> said</c><01:04:04.820><c> this,</c>

01:04:05.780 --> 01:04:10.639
take<01:04:06.099><c> this</c><01:04:07.179><c> and</c><01:04:08.659><c> share</c><01:04:09.119><c> it</c><01:04:09.380><c> among</c><01:04:09.579><c> yourselves.</c>

01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:12.420
What<01:04:11.059><c> else</c><01:04:11.280><c> could</c><01:04:11.460><c> you</c><01:04:11.619><c> do?</c>

01:04:13.820 --> 01:04:16.559
We're<01:04:14.039><c> each</c><01:04:14.119><c> a</c><01:04:14.260><c> little</c><01:04:14.460><c> grape,</c><01:04:14.760><c> aren't</c><01:04:14.940><c> we?</c>

01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:18.980
But<01:04:17.500><c> we're</c><01:04:17.639><c> all</c><01:04:17.840><c> in</c><01:04:18.079><c> there.</c>

01:04:19.719 --> 01:04:22.139
There's<01:04:20.119><c> no</c><01:04:20.360><c> way</c><01:04:20.659><c> I</c><01:04:20.820><c> can</c><01:04:21.119><c> pick</c><01:04:21.340><c> out</c><01:04:21.500><c> my</c><01:04:21.739><c> little</c><01:04:22.000><c> bit</c>

01:04:22.139 --> 01:04:22.960
or<01:04:22.300><c> your</c><01:04:22.500><c> little</c><01:04:22.739><c> bit.</c>

01:04:23.059 --> 01:04:24.639
There's<01:04:23.420><c> no</c><01:04:23.599><c> way.</c>

01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:26.420
There's<01:04:25.139><c> no</c><01:04:25.400><c> way,</c><01:04:25.860><c> brothers</c><01:04:26.099><c> and</c><01:04:26.219><c> sisters,</c>

01:04:26.440 --> 01:04:27.679
we<01:04:26.619><c> can</c><01:04:26.739><c> get</c><01:04:26.900><c> away</c><01:04:27.119><c> from</c><01:04:27.360><c> the</c><01:04:27.480><c> fact,</c>

01:04:27.940 --> 01:04:28.840
drinking<01:04:28.420><c> that</c><01:04:28.760><c> wine,</c>

01:04:28.880 --> 01:04:29.940
when<01:04:29.019><c> you</c><01:04:29.199><c> take</c><01:04:29.400><c> it</c><01:04:29.519><c> this</c><01:04:29.719><c> morning,</c>

01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:30.639
think<01:04:30.179><c> about</c><01:04:30.380><c> this,</c>

01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:32.300
when<01:04:31.199><c> you</c><01:04:31.400><c> take</c><01:04:31.559><c> that</c><01:04:31.780><c> in</c><01:04:31.840><c> your</c><01:04:32.059><c> mouth,</c>

01:04:32.519 --> 01:04:33.539
there's<01:04:32.559><c> no</c><01:04:32.820><c> way</c><01:04:32.980><c> in</c><01:04:33.239><c> the</c><01:04:33.320><c> world</c>

01:04:33.539 --> 01:04:34.800
that<01:04:33.739><c> you</c><01:04:33.800><c> can</c><01:04:34.079><c> exist</c><01:04:34.300><c> without</c><01:04:34.559><c> me</c>

01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:36.619
and<01:04:34.880><c> I</c><01:04:35.039><c> can</c><01:04:35.179><c> exist</c><01:04:35.420><c> without</c><01:04:35.699><c> you.</c>

01:04:36.860 --> 01:04:38.380
And<01:04:36.940><c> if</c><01:04:37.059><c> we</c><01:04:37.239><c> don't</c><01:04:37.440><c> share</c><01:04:37.780><c> our</c><01:04:38.019><c> lives,</c>

01:04:38.659 --> 01:04:39.699
there's<01:04:38.760><c> no</c><01:04:39.039><c> way</c><01:04:39.260><c> we're</c><01:04:39.400><c> going</c><01:04:39.500><c> to</c><01:04:39.579><c> be</c>

01:04:39.699 --> 01:04:41.360
in<01:04:39.780><c> the</c><01:04:39.920><c> Kingdom</c><01:04:40.079><c> of</c><01:04:40.239><c> God</c><01:04:40.400><c> to</c><01:04:40.639><c> share</c><01:04:40.780><c> it</c><01:04:40.920><c> with</c><01:04:41.039><c> you.</c>

01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:42.800
There's<01:04:41.760><c> no</c><01:04:42.000><c> way.</c>

01:04:42.820 --> 01:04:44.099
Because<01:04:43.119><c> it's</c><01:04:43.420><c> impossible</c><01:04:43.860><c> now</c>

01:04:44.099 --> 01:04:46.800
to<01:04:44.260><c> get</c><01:04:45.179><c> that</c><01:04:45.460><c> juice</c><01:04:45.699><c> back</c><01:04:46.059><c> into</c><01:04:46.280><c> each</c><01:04:46.500><c> grape.</c>

01:04:47.099 --> 01:04:48.119
It's<01:04:47.219><c> impossible.</c>

01:04:48.500 --> 01:04:49.559
You<01:04:48.679><c> never</c><01:04:48.800><c> know.</c>

01:04:49.579 --> 01:04:50.920
Now<01:04:49.780><c> I</c><01:04:49.840><c> think</c><01:04:50.000><c> that's</c><01:04:50.360><c> marvellous.</c>

01:04:51.239 --> 01:04:53.539
And<01:04:51.380><c> so</c><01:04:51.500><c> that's</c><01:04:51.699><c> why</c><01:04:51.719><c> he</c><01:04:51.900><c> constantly</c><01:04:52.239><c> gets</c><01:04:52.460><c> this</c><01:04:52.619><c> expression,</c>

01:04:53.659 --> 01:04:55.900
love<01:04:53.860><c> one</c><01:04:54.159><c> another,</c><01:04:54.840><c> love</c><01:04:55.179><c> one</c><01:04:55.519><c> another,</c>

01:04:56.139 --> 01:04:57.019
love<01:04:56.420><c> one</c><01:04:56.739><c> another,</c>

01:04:57.079 --> 01:04:59.159
because<01:04:57.340><c> we're</c><01:04:57.639><c> all</c><01:04:58.000><c> in</c><01:04:58.139><c> this</c><01:04:58.320><c> together.</c>

01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:01.900
Now<01:05:00.679><c> in</c><01:05:00.900><c> the</c><01:05:01.059><c> totality,</c><01:05:01.719><c> of</c><01:05:01.719><c> course,</c>

01:05:01.980 --> 01:05:03.380
it's<01:05:02.119><c> his,</c><01:05:02.719><c> it's</c><01:05:02.940><c> his</c><01:05:03.179><c> body,</c>

01:05:03.500 --> 01:05:04.739

We<01:07:57.880><c> just</c><01:07:58.159><c> know</c><01:07:58.300><c> it.</c>

01:07:58.420 --> 01:07:59.599
That's<01:07:58.679><c> the</c><01:07:58.840><c> proof</c><01:07:59.000><c> of</c><01:07:59.179><c> it.</c>

01:07:59.599 --> 01:08:02.840
He<01:08:00.219><c> that</c><01:08:00.420><c> heareth</c><01:08:00.719><c> God,</c><01:08:01.320><c> heareth</c><01:08:01.599><c> us,</c><01:08:02.159><c> is</c><01:08:02.260><c> known</c><01:08:02.480><c> of</c><01:08:02.639><c> God.</c>

01:08:02.940 --> 01:08:06.380
We<01:08:03.219><c> know</c><01:08:04.159><c> this</c><01:08:04.460><c> is</c><01:08:04.719><c> the</c><01:08:04.800><c> Spirit</c><01:08:05.059><c> of</c><01:08:05.280><c> Truth,</c><01:08:05.599><c> brothers</c><01:08:05.780><c> and</c><01:08:06.099><c> sisters.</c>

01:08:06.659 --> 01:08:07.860
It<01:08:06.780><c> is.</c>

01:08:07.940 --> 01:08:09.800
And<01:08:08.019><c> it's</c><01:08:08.260><c> a</c><01:08:08.400><c> marvellous</c><01:08:08.840><c> thing.</c>

01:08:10.239 --> 01:08:11.639
We<01:08:10.239><c> find</c><01:08:10.679><c> all</c><01:08:11.039><c> over</c><01:08:11.300><c> the</c><01:08:11.460><c> world,</c>

01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:13.480
Gideon<01:08:12.000><c> comes</c><01:08:12.300><c> here</c><01:08:12.440><c> from</c><01:08:12.619><c> India.</c>

01:08:13.940 --> 01:08:14.940
What<01:08:14.119><c> do</c><01:08:14.280><c> we</c><01:08:14.280><c> know</c><01:08:14.360><c> about</c><01:08:14.559><c> Gideon?</c>

01:08:15.099 --> 01:08:16.859
He's<01:08:15.519><c> a</c><01:08:15.639><c> boy</c><01:08:15.780><c> from</c><01:08:15.960><c> India.</c>

01:08:16.880 --> 01:08:18.760
He<01:08:17.060><c> talks</c><01:08:17.460><c> our</c><01:08:17.720><c> language.</c>

01:08:19.520 --> 01:08:20.840
We<01:08:19.699><c> understand</c><01:08:20.100><c> him</c><01:08:20.319><c> immediately.</c>

01:08:20.939 --> 01:08:21.319
He's<01:08:21.180><c> here.</c>

01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:22.300
He<01:08:21.500><c> understands</c><01:08:22.020><c> us.</c>

01:08:22.359 --> 01:08:23.000
He's<01:08:22.539><c> an</c><01:08:22.699><c> Indian.</c>

01:08:23.300 --> 01:08:24.560
We're<01:08:23.560><c> Australians.</c>

01:08:25.380 --> 01:08:26.520
We<01:08:25.680><c> know</c><01:08:26.060><c> we're</c><01:08:26.279><c> of</c><01:08:26.420><c> God.</c>

01:08:26.539 --> 01:08:28.439
That's<01:08:26.859><c> the</c><01:08:26.920><c> Spirit</c><01:08:27.260><c> of</c><01:08:27.260><c> Truth,</c><01:08:27.720><c> brothers</c><01:08:27.840><c> and</c><01:08:28.180><c> sisters.</c>

01:08:28.439 --> 01:08:31.300
It's<01:08:29.319><c> not</c><01:08:29.520><c> just</c><01:08:29.840><c> a</c><01:08:29.960><c> set</c><01:08:30.079><c> of</c><01:08:30.300><c> doctrines.</c>

01:08:31.500 --> 01:08:32.520
It's<01:08:31.680><c> the</c><01:08:31.840><c> mind</c><01:08:31.979><c> it</c><01:08:32.239><c> produces,</c>

01:08:32.699 --> 01:08:33.779
the<01:08:32.800><c> attitude</c><01:08:33.119><c> it</c><01:08:33.359><c> produces,</c>

01:08:34.199 --> 01:08:36.119
the<01:08:34.359><c> disposition</c><01:08:34.840><c> it</c><01:08:35.119><c> produces.</c>

01:08:36.140 --> 01:08:37.319
We're<01:08:36.539><c> like</c><01:08:36.539><c>-minded,</c>

01:08:37.500 --> 01:08:38.880
and<01:08:37.500><c> remarkably</c><01:08:38.380><c> so.</c>

01:08:39.300 --> 01:08:40.979
And<01:08:39.479><c> therefore,</c><01:08:39.979><c> says</c><01:08:40.060><c> Jesus,</c>

01:08:41.020 --> 01:08:43.979
you<01:08:41.560><c> know</c><01:08:42.399><c> that</c><01:08:42.659><c> that's</c><01:08:43.039><c> the</c><01:08:43.119><c> Spirit</c><01:08:43.260><c> of</c><01:08:43.539><c> Truth</c>

01:08:43.979 --> 01:08:46.920
if<01:08:44.859><c> you</c><01:08:44.979><c> love</c><01:08:45.739><c> one</c><01:08:46.140><c> another.</c>
