live<00:01:10.260><c> in</c><00:01:10.420><c> fear</c><00:01:10.540><c> of</c><00:01:10.659><c> making</c><00:01:10.879><c> a</c><00:01:11.079><c> mistake,</c>

00:01:13.459 --> 00:01:17.200
of<00:01:13.959><c> saying</c><00:01:14.260><c> something</c><00:01:14.700><c> that</c><00:01:16.260><c> would</c><00:01:16.719><c> be</c><00:01:16.980><c> taken</c>

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.140

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:32.459

00:06:32.459 --> 00:06:35.680
I<00:06:32.600><c> had</c><00:06:32.779><c> some</c><00:06:33.279><c> tough</c><00:06:33.519><c> questions</c><00:06:33.920><c> to</c><00:06:34.180><c> ask</c><00:06:34.379><c> as</c><00:06:34.560><c> an</c><00:06:34.699><c> 18</c><00:06:34.939><c> year</c><00:06:35.139><c> old</c>

and<00:06:36.439><c> I</c><00:06:36.560><c> can</c><00:06:36.639><c> remember</c><00:06:36.800><c> once</c><00:06:37.060><c> asking</c><00:06:37.420><c> them</c>

00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:39.939
in<00:06:37.980><c> a</c><00:06:38.160><c> young</c><00:06:38.319><c> people's</c><00:06:38.740><c> class</c><00:06:38.959><c> and</c><00:06:39.180><c> boy,</c><00:06:39.480><c> I</c><00:06:39.600><c> tell</c><00:06:39.800><c> you,</c>

00:06:43.420 --> 00:06:48.459
I<00:06:44.040><c> was</c><00:06:44.259><c> immediately</c><00:06:44.579><c> labeled</c><00:06:45.220><c> as</c><00:06:46.279><c> someone</c><00:06:47.079><c> not</c><00:06:47.279><c> to</c><00:06:47.420><c> be</c><00:06:47.600><c> trusted.</c>

00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:51.100
I<00:06:49.199><c> thought</c><00:06:49.399><c> outside</c><00:06:49.800><c> the</c><00:06:49.980><c> box,</c>

00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:53.819
so<00:06:51.860><c> therefore</c><00:06:52.180><c> I</c><00:06:52.279><c> wasn't</c><00:06:52.519><c> to</c><00:06:52.680><c> be</c><00:06:52.860><c> trusted.</c>

00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.720
And<00:06:54.319><c> I</c><00:06:54.459><c> bore</c><00:06:54.579><c> that</c><00:06:54.819><c> label</c><00:06:55.000><c> for</c><00:06:55.199><c> most</c><00:06:55.379><c> of</c><00:06:55.500><c> my</c><00:06:55.620><c> life.</c>

00:06:58.939 --> 00:07:02.120
We're<00:06:59.560><c> so</c><00:06:59.839><c> afraid</c><00:07:00.360><c> of</c><00:07:01.100><c> incurring</c><00:07:01.579><c> guilt</c>

00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:07.839
that<00:07:02.660><c> we</c><00:07:02.879><c> sometimes</c><00:07:04.339><c> cut</c><00:07:05.199><c> ourselves</c><00:07:05.600><c> off</c><00:07:06.199><c> in</c><00:07:06.660><c> our</c><00:07:06.819><c> community.</c>

00:07:08.750 --> 00:07:10.720

00:07:10.670 --> 00:07:14.879
I'm<00:07:10.980><c> afraid</c><00:07:11.600><c> that</c><00:07:12.000><c> God</c><00:07:12.519><c> is</c><00:07:13.040><c> gonna</c><00:07:13.240><c> somehow</c><00:07:13.560><c> judge</c><00:07:13.879><c> me</c>

00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:20.459

00:07:22.699 --> 00:07:26.079
And<00:07:23.279><c> we</c><00:07:23.480><c> forget</c><00:07:23.800><c> that</c><00:07:23.980><c> Jesus</c><00:07:24.279><c> ate</c><00:07:24.480><c> with</c><00:07:24.720><c> publicans</c><00:07:25.120><c> and</c><00:07:25.259><c> sinners.</c>

00:07:33.019 --> 00:07:35.920
The<00:07:33.300><c> lesson</c><00:07:33.740><c> in</c><00:07:34.839><c> Leviticus</c><00:07:35.319><c> was</c><00:07:35.579><c> obvious,</c>

00:07:39.339 --> 00:07:41.759
That<00:07:39.519><c> was</c><00:07:39.959><c> the</c><00:07:40.160><c> intent</c><00:07:40.540><c> of</c><00:07:40.740><c> the</c><00:07:40.879><c> law.</c>

00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:46.360

00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:47.579
and<00:07:46.439><c> must</c><00:07:46.680><c> acknowledge</c><00:07:47.060><c> their</c><00:07:47.319><c> guilt</c>

I<00:15:25.799><c> guess</c><00:15:26.019><c> once</c><00:15:26.320><c> in</c><00:15:26.440><c> a</c><00:15:26.539><c> while,</c><00:15:26.679><c> it</c><00:15:26.840><c> still</c><00:15:27.100><c> sticks</c><00:15:27.279><c> its</c><00:15:27.460><c> ugly</c><00:15:27.659><c> head</c><00:15:27.860><c> up.</c>

00:15:32.179 --> 00:15:35.360
Because<00:15:32.559><c> of</c><00:15:32.759><c> what</c><00:15:32.899><c> these</c><00:15:33.179><c> two</c><00:15:33.419><c> symbols</c><00:15:33.720><c> on</c><00:15:33.940><c> the</c><00:15:34.100><c> table</c><00:15:34.279><c> mean,</c>

00:15:38.980 --> 00:15:43.639
we<00:15:39.500><c> have</c><00:15:39.720><c> the</c><00:15:42.220><c> bread</c><00:15:42.559><c> which</c><00:15:42.879><c> represents</c>

00:15:44.259 --> 00:15:48.259
one<00:15:44.779><c> of</c><00:15:44.899><c> the</c><00:15:45.000><c> most</c><00:15:45.259><c> marvelous</c><00:15:45.740><c> gifts</c><00:15:46.080><c> ever</c><00:15:46.440><c> given</c><00:15:46.639><c> to</c><00:15:46.879><c> us,</c>

the<00:15:49.379><c> body</c><00:15:49.639><c> of</c><00:15:49.820><c> Christ.</c>

00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:57.179
And<00:15:53.460><c> when</c><00:15:53.620><c> I</c><00:15:53.919><c> say</c><00:15:54.100><c> this,</c><00:15:54.480><c> I</c><00:15:54.480><c> mean</c><00:15:54.799><c> the</c><00:15:55.159><c> body</c><00:15:55.600><c> of</c><00:15:55.879><c> Christ.</c>

For<00:16:01.720><c> we</c><00:16:01.940><c> are</c><00:16:02.139><c> the</c><00:16:02.279><c> body</c><00:16:02.559><c> of</c><00:16:02.740><c> Christ.</c>

00:16:04.259 --> 00:16:06.539
I<00:16:04.460><c> think</c><00:16:04.600><c> sometimes</c><00:16:04.980><c> we</c><00:16:05.200><c> forget</c><00:16:05.500><c> that</c>

00:16:12.100 --> 00:16:13.360
That's<00:16:12.580><c> why</c><00:16:12.700><c> there's</c><00:16:12.919><c> no</c><00:16:13.120><c> guilt</c>

00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:16.279

00:16:17.019 --> 00:16:20.940
He's<00:16:17.480><c> given</c><00:16:17.620><c> us</c><00:16:17.860><c> each</c><00:16:18.080><c> other</c><00:16:18.320><c> in</c><00:16:18.500><c> all</c><00:16:18.659><c> our</c><00:16:19.720><c> weird</c><00:16:19.940><c> and</c><00:16:20.200><c> wonderful</c><00:16:20.440><c> ways</c>

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:30.080
The<00:16:25.759><c> wine</c><00:16:26.039><c> that</c><00:16:26.179><c> we</c><00:16:26.419><c> take</c><00:16:27.100><c> symbolizes</c><00:16:27.899><c> a</c><00:16:28.179><c> life</c><00:16:28.700><c> given</c><00:16:29.399><c> utterly</c>

00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:39.399
Sorry,<00:16:38.019><c> I</c><00:16:38.019><c> need</c><00:16:38.259><c> a</c><00:16:38.399><c> motion.</c>

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:47.559
For<00:16:46.519><c> my</c><00:16:46.840><c> retirement</c><00:16:47.240><c> party,</c>

00:16:47.820 --> 00:16:49.340
one<00:16:47.879><c> of</c><00:16:48.059><c> the</c><00:16:48.100><c> brothers,</c><00:16:48.360><c> one</c><00:16:48.480><c> of</c><00:16:48.600><c> the</c><00:16:48.720><c> sisters</c><00:16:48.960><c> in</c><00:16:49.080><c> the</c><00:16:49.200><c> meeting</c>

00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:54.539
So<00:16:53.200><c> I</c><00:16:53.320><c> have</c><00:16:53.480><c> a</c><00:16:53.600><c> reputation.</c>

00:16:58.419 --> 00:17:00.340
I<00:16:58.419><c> know</c><00:16:58.600><c> the</c><00:16:58.860><c> passages</c><00:16:59.159><c> by</c><00:16:59.460><c> heart</c><00:16:59.659><c> that</c><00:16:59.940><c> tell</c><00:17:00.059><c> us</c>

00:17:00.340 --> 00:17:03.100
that<00:17:00.500><c> the</c><00:17:00.720><c> beginning</c><00:17:00.899><c> of</c><00:17:01.120><c> wisdom</c><00:17:01.340><c> is</c><00:17:01.539><c> the</c><00:17:01.700><c> fear</c><00:17:01.820><c> of</c><00:17:01.980><c> the</c><00:17:02.139><c> Lord.</c>

00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:09.059
But<00:17:05.859><c> wisdom</c><00:17:06.200><c> has</c><00:17:06.480><c> been</c><00:17:06.740><c> granted</c><00:17:07.039><c> to</c><00:17:07.359><c> us</c><00:17:07.559><c> through</c><00:17:07.819><c> Christ</c><00:17:08.160><c> Jesus,</c>

brethren<00:17:09.619><c> and</c><00:17:09.819><c> sisters.</c>

00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.920
We<00:17:14.680><c> can</c><00:17:14.900><c> look</c><00:17:15.099><c> upon</c><00:17:16.000><c> the</c><00:17:16.559><c> bread</c><00:17:16.660><c> and</c><00:17:16.920><c> wine</c>

00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:20.400
and<00:17:18.740><c> meditate</c><00:17:19.259><c> upon</c><00:17:19.839><c> the</c><00:17:20.079><c> bread</c><00:17:20.240><c> and</c><00:17:20.400><c> wine</c>

00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.779

00:17:22.819 --> 00:17:26.220
And<00:17:22.980><c> there</c><00:17:23.119><c> are</c><00:17:23.460><c> so</c><00:17:23.759><c> many</c><00:17:24.059><c> meanings</c><00:17:24.420><c> in</c><00:17:24.660><c> this</c><00:17:24.880><c> bread</c><00:17:25.039><c> and</c><00:17:25.279><c> wine.</c>

00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.720
And<00:17:29.839><c> realize</c><00:17:30.500><c> that</c><00:17:31.960><c> to</c><00:17:32.220><c> our</c><00:17:32.500><c> generation,</c>

00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:50.579
And<00:17:49.240><c> it's</c><00:17:49.400><c> right</c><00:17:49.579><c> there.</c>

00:17:51.299 --> 00:17:53.420
In<00:17:51.900><c> the</c><00:17:52.119><c> bread</c><00:17:52.259><c> and</c><00:17:52.440><c> wine.</c>

00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.619
The<00:17:54.859><c> wisdom</c><00:17:55.259><c> revealed,</c><00:17:56.259><c> Paul</c><00:17:56.599><c> says,</c>

00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:12.200
We<00:18:07.500><c> see</c><00:18:07.839><c> in</c><00:18:08.140><c> him</c><00:18:08.539><c> and</c><00:18:09.339><c> in</c><00:18:09.559><c> his</c><00:18:09.839><c> life</c><00:18:10.059><c> what</c><00:18:10.259><c> God</c><00:18:10.539><c> wants</c><00:18:10.819><c> of</c><00:18:10.980><c> us.</c>

00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:15.720
And<00:18:13.519><c> we</c><00:18:13.640><c> don't</c><00:18:14.420><c> fear</c><00:18:14.940><c> because</c><00:18:15.359><c> of</c><00:18:15.519><c> it.</c>

00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.019
We<00:18:16.079><c> rejoice</c><00:18:16.680><c> in</c><00:18:16.880><c> it</c><00:18:17.299><c> because</c><00:18:17.640><c> of</c><00:18:17.799><c> what</c><00:18:17.980><c> it</c><00:18:18.200><c> brings</c><00:18:18.460><c> to</c><00:18:18.720><c> us</c>

because<00:18:19.319><c> it</c><00:18:19.460><c> brings</c><00:18:19.799><c> life</c><00:18:20.359><c> and</c><00:18:20.859><c> joy</c><00:18:21.140><c> into</c><00:18:21.400><c> our</c><00:18:21.619><c> hearts.</c>

00:18:23.140 --> 00:18:26.220
By<00:18:23.240><c> this,</c><00:18:23.599><c> we</c><00:18:23.660><c> know</c><00:18:23.839><c> that</c><00:18:24.019><c> we</c><00:18:24.200><c> abide</c><00:18:24.519><c> in</c><00:18:24.680><c> him</c><00:18:25.119><c> and</c><00:18:25.460><c> him</c><00:18:25.700><c> in</c><00:18:25.859><c> us</c>

00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:29.099
because<00:18:26.599><c> he</c><00:18:26.779><c> has</c><00:18:27.039><c> given</c><00:18:27.200><c> us</c><00:18:27.440><c> of</c><00:18:27.599><c> his</c><00:18:27.819><c> spirit.</c>

00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:35.420
And<00:18:33.519><c> we</c><00:18:33.700><c> have</c><00:18:33.900><c> seen</c><00:18:34.119><c> and</c><00:18:34.359><c> testify</c><00:18:34.819><c> that</c><00:18:35.000><c> the</c><00:18:35.180><c> father</c>

00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:39.319
Wow.

00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.099
Whoever<00:18:42.279><c> confesses</c><00:18:42.720><c> that</c><00:18:42.839><c> Jesus</c><00:18:43.140><c> is</c><00:18:43.359><c> the</c><00:18:43.539><c> son</c><00:18:43.680><c> of</c><00:18:43.880><c> God,</c>

00:18:44.099 --> 00:18:46.259
God<00:18:44.319><c> abides</c><00:18:44.740><c> in</c><00:18:44.920><c> him</c><00:18:45.039><c> and</c><00:18:45.180><c> he</c><00:18:45.339><c> in</c><00:18:45.539><c> God.</c>

00:18:46.819 --> 00:18:48.740
That's<00:18:47.259><c> the</c><00:18:47.440><c> relationship</c><00:18:48.019><c> that</c><00:18:48.259><c> we've</c><00:18:48.539><c> had.</c>

00:18:49.019 --> 00:18:54.000
So<00:18:49.099><c> we</c><00:18:52.339><c> have</c><00:18:52.579><c> come</c><00:18:52.740><c> to</c><00:18:52.900><c> know</c><00:18:53.119><c> and</c><00:18:53.220><c> believe</c><00:18:53.619><c> the</c><00:18:53.779><c> love</c>

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:55.059

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:21.960
I<00:26:17.779><c> had</c><00:26:17.920><c> three</c><00:26:18.180><c> daughters,</c><00:26:20.380><c> and</c><00:26:20.539><c> Mary</c><00:26:21.220><c> used</c><00:26:21.480><c> to</c><00:26:21.579><c> say</c><00:26:21.720><c> to</c><00:26:21.799><c> them,</c>

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:25.759

00:26:34.019 --> 00:26:37.460
Jesus<00:26:34.440><c> says,</c><00:26:35.400><c> before</c><00:26:35.700><c> we</c><00:26:36.059><c> ask.</c>

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:44.359
Okay,<00:26:42.000><c> he</c><00:26:42.180><c> knows</c><00:26:42.519><c> where</c><00:26:42.900><c> correction</c><00:26:43.299><c> is</c><00:26:43.579><c> needed.</c>

00:26:45.420 --> 00:26:48.019
He<00:26:45.640><c> knows</c><00:26:45.980><c> where</c><00:26:46.539><c> guidance</c><00:26:46.960><c> is</c><00:26:47.240><c> needed.</c>

00:26:48.859 --> 00:26:51.779
He<00:26:49.059><c> knows</c><00:26:49.299><c> where</c><00:26:49.480><c> there's</c><00:26:49.720><c> a</c><00:26:49.880><c> pat</c><00:26:50.000><c> on</c><00:26:50.180><c> the</c><00:26:50.380><c> back</c><00:26:50.720><c> required.</c>

00:26:54.619 --> 00:26:56.539
Because<00:26:55.140><c> we</c><00:26:55.660><c> know</c><00:26:55.839><c> raising</c><00:26:56.180><c> children,</c>

00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:58.859
sometimes<00:26:56.980><c> it</c><00:26:57.160><c> was</c><00:26:57.599><c> more</c><00:26:57.980><c> beneficial</c><00:26:58.440><c> to</c><00:26:58.680><c> say,</c>

00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.680
I'm<00:26:59.200><c> proud</c><00:26:59.440><c> of</c><00:26:59.619><c> you</c><00:27:00.579><c> for</c><00:27:01.759><c> what</c><00:27:01.980><c> you've</c><00:27:02.200><c> done</c><00:27:02.559><c> right</c>

00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.240
than<00:27:04.400><c> angry</c><00:27:04.759><c> with</c><00:27:05.000><c> you</c><00:27:05.200><c> because</c><00:27:05.519><c> of</c><00:27:05.660><c> what</c><00:27:05.779><c> you've</c><00:27:06.039><c> done</c><00:27:06.220><c> wrong.</c>

00:27:08.619 --> 00:27:11.200
And<00:27:09.140><c> that's</c><00:27:09.299><c> how</c><00:27:09.460><c> God</c><00:27:09.660><c> deals</c><00:27:09.940><c> with</c><00:27:10.180><c> us.</c>

00:27:12.099 --> 00:27:16.720
And<00:27:12.240><c> Jesus</c><00:27:12.480><c> says</c><00:27:12.680><c> he</c><00:27:12.859><c> knows</c><00:27:13.299><c> about</c><00:27:13.720><c> it</c><00:27:13.960><c> before</c><00:27:14.299><c> we</c><00:27:14.599><c> ask</c><00:27:14.839><c> him.</c>

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:21.759
So<00:27:19.799><c> I</c><00:27:19.960><c> don't</c><00:27:20.180><c> serve</c><00:27:20.559><c> God</c><00:27:20.900><c> out</c><00:27:21.140><c> of</c><00:27:21.259><c> fear.</c>

00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:27.720
But<00:27:24.079><c> as</c><00:27:24.380><c> a</c><00:27:24.559><c> response</c><00:27:24.940><c> from</c><00:27:25.200><c> a</c><00:27:25.380><c> grateful</c><00:27:25.559><c> heart.</c>

00:27:47.819 --> 00:27:51.339
that<00:27:48.180><c> even</c><00:27:48.539><c> when</c><00:27:48.940><c> we</c><00:27:49.200><c> are</c><00:27:49.460><c> unable</c><00:27:49.920><c> to</c><00:27:50.319><c> pray,</c>

00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:58.400
God<00:27:54.880><c> knows</c><00:27:55.259><c> what</c><00:27:57.000><c> we</c><00:27:57.200><c> need.</c>

00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.539
