Now<00:06:36.839><c> you</c><00:06:37.019><c> would</c><00:06:37.399><c> think</c><00:06:37.800><c> that</c><00:06:38.160><c> somebody</c><00:06:38.579><c> as</c><00:06:39.000><c> dynamic</c><00:06:39.600><c> and</c><00:06:39.860><c> as</c>

00:07:45.899 --> 00:07:47.379
The<00:07:46.079><c> we</c><00:07:46.259><c> and</c><00:07:46.399><c> the</c><00:07:46.579><c> they,</c><00:07:46.800><c> isn't</c><00:07:47.000><c> it?</c>

00:07:47.579 --> 00:07:50.839

00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.879
and<00:07:51.360><c> then</c><00:07:51.620><c> occasionally</c><00:07:52.180><c> it</c><00:07:52.180><c> will</c><00:07:52.399><c> be</c><00:07:52.579><c> and</c><00:07:52.959><c> they,</c>

00:07:53.980 --> 00:07:57.279
and<00:07:54.100><c> it's</c><00:07:54.339><c> suggested</c><00:07:54.800><c> that</c><00:07:55.360><c> maybe</c><00:07:56.040><c> Titus,</c><00:07:56.660><c> as</c><00:07:56.740><c> his</c><00:07:57.060><c> flesh</c>

00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:58.339
brother<00:07:57.579><c> also,</c>

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.600
Luke,<00:07:58.819><c> in</c><00:07:59.040><c> his</c><00:07:59.300><c> humility,</c><00:08:00.139><c> suppressed</c><00:08:00.480><c> like</c><00:08:00.759><c> the</c><00:08:00.920><c> family</c><00:08:01.180><c> name</c><00:08:01.399><c> out</c>

00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:01.939
of<00:08:01.740><c> it,</c>

00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:04.920
and<00:08:02.579><c> he</c><00:08:02.879><c> got</c><00:08:03.060><c> his</c><00:08:03.240><c> information</c><00:08:03.759><c> about</c><00:08:04.079><c> the</c><00:08:04.279><c> they</c><00:08:04.500><c> did</c><00:08:04.680><c> this</c>

and<00:08:05.040><c> the</c><00:08:05.100><c> they</c><00:08:05.279><c> did</c><00:08:05.459><c> that</c><00:08:05.579><c> from</c><00:08:05.839><c> Titus,</c>

00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:08.160
because<00:08:06.480><c> it</c><00:08:06.620><c> seems</c><00:08:06.839><c> that</c><00:08:07.079><c> Titus</c><00:08:07.300><c> was</c><00:08:07.459><c> there</c><00:08:07.639><c> all</c><00:08:07.879><c> the</c><00:08:08.040><c> time,</c>

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.879
so<00:08:08.339><c> it's</c><00:08:08.920><c> only</c><00:08:09.439><c> a</c><00:08:09.639><c> suggestion</c><00:08:09.920><c> about</c><00:08:10.139><c> the</c><00:08:10.360><c> flesh</c><00:08:10.540><c> brother,</c>

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.120
but<00:08:11.259><c> there</c><00:08:11.379><c> was</c><00:08:11.560><c> obviously</c><00:08:11.860><c> something</c><00:08:12.199><c> very</c><00:08:12.660><c> close</c><00:08:12.920><c> that</c><00:08:13.339><c> Titus</c><00:08:13.800><c> is</c><00:08:14.079><c> suppressed.</c>

00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.160
And<00:08:16.720><c> so</c><00:08:16.879><c> let's</c><00:08:17.100><c> try</c><00:08:17.339><c> and</c><00:08:17.500><c> maybe</c><00:08:18.519><c> piece</c><00:08:18.740><c> together</c><00:08:19.199><c> this</c><00:08:19.819><c> link</c>

00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:21.420
with<00:08:20.480><c> Titus,</c>

00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.360
and<00:08:21.879><c> it's</c><00:08:22.120><c> the</c><00:08:22.199><c> reason</c><00:08:22.439><c> why</c><00:08:22.600><c> we're</c><00:08:22.779><c> going</c><00:08:22.860><c> to</c><00:08:22.939><c> do</c><00:08:23.079><c> that</c><00:08:23.279><c> in</c>

00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.579
this<00:08:23.579><c> class,</c>

00:08:24.939 --> 00:08:28.399
and<00:08:25.139><c> that</c><00:08:25.319><c> is</c><00:08:25.480><c> out</c><00:08:25.660><c> of</c><00:08:25.860><c> the</c><00:08:26.500><c> 13</c><00:08:26.899><c> times</c><00:08:27.379><c> that</c><00:08:27.620><c> the</c><00:08:27.759><c> word</c><00:08:27.980><c> Titus</c>

00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.959
occurs<00:08:28.779><c> in</c><00:08:28.980><c> the</c><00:08:29.160><c> concordance,</c><00:08:30.459><c> right?</c>

00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:36.559
Nine<00:08:31.579><c> of</c><00:08:31.920><c> them</c><00:08:32.519><c> appear</c><00:08:33.019><c> in,</c><00:08:33.679><c> guess</c><00:08:33.980><c> where?</c><00:08:35.580><c> Paul's</c><00:08:35.980><c> second</c><00:08:36.139><c> letter</c><00:08:36.360><c> to</c>

00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:37.600
the<00:08:36.740><c> Corinthians.</c>

00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:41.720
So<00:08:38.039><c> obviously</c><00:08:38.480><c> he's</c><00:08:39.019><c> greatly</c><00:08:39.440><c> involved</c><00:08:40.019><c> in</c><00:08:40.220><c> the</c><00:08:40.399><c> goings</c><00:08:40.820><c> on</c><00:08:40.980><c> there.</c>

00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.340
So<00:08:42.080><c> let's</c><00:08:42.320><c> maybe</c><00:08:42.519><c> get</c><00:08:42.659><c> a</c><00:08:42.740><c> little</c><00:08:42.899><c> background,</c>

00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:46.360

00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:52.700
that<00:08:48.200><c> come</c><00:08:48.419><c> out</c><00:08:48.659><c> of</c><00:08:48.879><c> both</c><00:08:49.299><c> Titus</c><00:08:50.419><c> and</c><00:08:51.000><c> his</c><00:08:51.360><c> dedication</c><00:08:51.960><c> to</c><00:08:52.179><c> the</c><00:08:52.419><c> truth,</c>

00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:56.539
but<00:08:53.539><c> also</c><00:08:54.120><c> at</c><00:08:54.320><c> the</c><00:08:54.360><c> end</c><00:08:54.539><c> of</c><00:08:54.659><c> our</c><00:08:54.899><c> class</c><00:08:55.179><c> I</c><00:08:55.559><c> want</c><00:08:55.759><c> to</c><00:08:55.940><c> look</c><00:08:56.179><c> at</c>

00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.679
again,<00:08:59.620><c> this</c><00:08:59.940><c> solitary</c><00:09:00.480><c> brother</c><00:09:00.779><c> like</c><00:09:00.980><c> we</c><00:09:01.179><c> talked</c><00:09:01.360><c> in</c><00:09:01.500><c> the</c>

00:09:04.460 --> 00:09:10.519
who<00:09:04.639><c> depended</c><00:09:05.240><c> so</c><00:09:05.840><c> heavily</c><00:09:06.379><c> on</c><00:09:07.120><c> brethren</c><00:09:07.519><c> like</c><00:09:07.960><c> Titus</c><00:09:08.740><c> or</c><00:09:09.159><c> Timothy</c><00:09:09.759><c> or</c>

00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:11.879
whoever<00:09:10.919><c> it</c><00:09:11.179><c> was</c><00:09:11.340><c> at</c><00:09:11.559><c> the</c><00:09:11.679><c> time,</c>

00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.480

the<00:09:14.659><c> truth.</c>

00:09:15.139 --> 00:09:18.080
So<00:09:15.279><c> that'll</c><00:09:15.519><c> be</c><00:09:15.679><c> our</c><00:09:15.919><c> class,</c><00:09:16.259><c> God</c><00:09:16.299><c> willing,</c><00:09:16.639><c> for</c><00:09:16.840><c> this</c><00:09:17.039><c> next</c><00:09:17.279><c> session.</c>

00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:21.799
So<00:09:19.340><c> I</c><00:09:19.500><c> thought</c><00:09:19.639><c> maybe</c><00:09:19.899><c> it'd</c><00:09:20.039><c> be</c><00:09:20.139><c> handy</c><00:09:20.340><c> to</c><00:09:20.559><c> just</c><00:09:20.980><c> look</c><00:09:21.379><c> over</c>

00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:23.360
the<00:09:23.080><c> verses,</c>

00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:27.559
because<00:09:23.679><c> the</c><00:09:23.960><c> verses</c><00:09:24.159><c> you</c><00:09:24.460><c> see</c><00:09:24.720><c> here,</c><00:09:25.720><c> those</c><00:09:26.120><c> four</c><00:09:26.500><c> verses,</c>

are<00:09:27.799><c> the</c><00:09:28.019><c> four</c><00:09:28.299><c> times</c><00:09:28.559><c> in</c><00:09:28.759><c> the</c><00:09:28.899><c> whole</c><00:09:29.059><c> of</c><00:09:29.340><c> Scripture</c><00:09:29.820><c> that</c>

00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:32.100
Titus<00:09:30.899><c> appears,</c>

00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.799
apart<00:09:32.659><c> from</c><00:09:32.860><c> 2</c><00:09:33.039><c> Corinthians.</c><00:09:33.679><c> So</c><00:09:33.840><c> that's</c><00:09:34.000><c> all</c><00:09:34.120><c> we</c><00:09:34.259><c> know</c><00:09:34.399><c> about</c><00:09:34.600><c> him.</c>

00:09:35.059 --> 00:09:38.080
Let's<00:09:35.299><c> see</c><00:09:35.399><c> what</c><00:09:35.440><c> we</c><00:09:35.559><c> can</c><00:09:35.740><c> discover</c><00:09:36.120><c> from</c><00:09:36.840><c> then</c><00:09:37.100><c> from</c><00:09:37.279><c> the</c><00:09:37.360><c> rest</c><00:09:37.559><c> of</c><00:09:37.740><c> Scripture.</c>

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:42.600
The<00:09:39.080><c> first</c><00:09:39.299><c> one,</c><00:09:39.639><c> like</c><00:09:39.779><c> the</c><00:09:39.899><c> title</c><00:09:40.059><c> of</c><00:09:40.220><c> our</c><00:09:40.919><c> class,</c><00:09:41.740><c> indicates</c>

00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:48.679
that<00:09:43.820><c> Titus</c><00:09:44.179><c> was</c><00:09:46.240><c> led</c><00:09:46.480><c> to</c><00:09:46.700><c> the</c><00:09:46.980><c> truth</c><00:09:47.399><c> by</c><00:09:48.299><c> Paul.</c>

00:09:48.899 --> 00:09:50.600
I<00:09:49.080><c> think</c><00:09:49.279><c> that's</c><00:09:49.539><c> what</c><00:09:49.659><c> he's</c><00:09:49.840><c> saying</c><00:09:50.039><c> here</c><00:09:50.240><c> where</c><00:09:50.360><c> he</c><00:09:50.419><c> says,</c>

And<00:14:42.639><c> it</c><00:14:42.799><c> had</c><00:14:42.860><c> been</c><00:14:43.139><c> so</c><00:14:43.580><c> bad</c><00:14:44.000><c> that</c><00:14:44.519><c> the</c><00:14:44.740><c> Corinthians</c><00:14:45.019><c> said,</c><00:14:45.360><c> I've</c><00:14:45.500><c> had</c><00:14:45.620><c> it.</c>

00:14:45.740 --> 00:14:47.500
I'm<00:14:45.899><c> finished</c><00:14:46.240><c> and</c><00:14:46.419><c> wouldn't</c><00:14:46.620><c> didn't</c><00:14:46.840><c> want</c><00:14:46.919><c> him</c><00:14:47.080><c> back</c><00:14:47.279><c> now.</c>

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:48.779
He'd<00:14:47.759><c> repented</c><00:14:48.080><c> and</c><00:14:48.220><c> they</c><00:14:48.299><c> didn't</c><00:14:48.519><c> want</c><00:14:48.639><c> him.</c>

00:14:48.779 --> 00:14:50.580

00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:56.000
And<00:14:51.700><c> then</c><00:14:52.159><c> he,</c><00:14:52.740><c> the</c><00:14:53.000><c> tone</c><00:14:53.299><c> changes</c><00:14:53.919><c> and</c><00:14:55.179><c> he</c><00:14:55.419><c> says</c><00:14:55.600><c> this.</c>

00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:02.220

Furthermore,<00:15:03.820><c> when</c><00:15:03.860><c> I</c><00:15:04.220><c> came</c><00:15:04.519><c> to</c><00:15:05.080><c> Troas,</c><00:15:05.840><c> all</c><00:15:06.039><c> right,</c><00:15:06.220><c> where's</c><00:15:06.519><c> Troas?</c>

He<00:15:44.639><c> was</c><00:15:44.860><c> just</c><00:15:45.240><c> thrilled</c><00:15:45.779><c> that</c><00:15:45.919><c> there</c><00:15:46.080><c> was</c><00:15:46.179><c> so</c><00:15:46.440><c> much</c><00:15:46.620><c> preaching</c><00:15:47.000><c> opportunity.</c>

00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:58.960

00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:16.839
Macedonia<00:17:13.680><c> comes</c><00:17:14.019><c> up</c><00:17:14.240><c> 100</c><00:17:14.500><c> times,</c><00:17:15.339><c> and</c><00:17:15.460><c> it's</c><00:17:15.660><c> kind</c><00:17:15.819><c> of,</c><00:17:16.000><c> you</c><00:17:16.599><c> know,</c>

00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:18.779
and<00:17:16.980><c> we</c><00:17:17.059><c> can</c><00:17:17.200><c> just</c><00:17:17.460><c> let</c><00:17:17.559><c> it</c><00:17:17.720><c> run</c><00:17:17.880><c> over</c><00:17:18.099><c> the</c><00:17:18.279><c> top</c><00:17:18.420><c> of</c><00:17:18.619><c> us.</c>

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.640
Macedonia<00:17:19.720><c> are</c><00:17:19.859><c> the</c><00:17:20.079><c> brethren</c><00:17:20.440><c> who</c><00:17:20.680><c> lived</c><00:17:20.839><c> in</c><00:17:21.099><c> Thessalonica.</c>

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:24.079
We<00:17:21.799><c> know</c><00:17:22.019><c> about</c><00:17:22.220><c> the</c><00:17:22.359><c> letter</c><00:17:22.500><c> to</c><00:17:22.700><c> them,</c><00:17:23.079><c> to</c><00:17:23.240><c> the</c><00:17:23.420><c> Bereans</c><00:17:23.880><c> who</c>

00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:24.900
were<00:17:24.299><c> more</c><00:17:24.519><c> noble</c>

00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:27.319
because<00:17:25.220><c> they</c><00:17:25.440><c> went</c><00:17:25.579><c> home</c><00:17:25.859><c> and</c><00:17:26.039><c> did</c><00:17:26.079><c> their</c><00:17:26.299><c> Bible</c><00:17:26.559><c> readings,</c>

00:17:27.940 --> 00:17:29.900
and<00:17:28.380><c> the</c><00:17:28.819><c> Philippians,</c><00:17:29.500><c> okay?</c>

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.220
So<00:17:30.640><c> he</c><00:17:30.940><c> couldn't</c><00:17:31.339><c> stand</c><00:17:31.660><c> it</c><00:17:31.839><c> any</c><00:17:32.059><c> longer.</c>

00:17:32.380 --> 00:17:34.799
He<00:17:32.740><c> had</c><00:17:33.019><c> no</c><00:17:33.339><c> rest</c><00:17:33.539><c> in</c><00:17:33.680><c> his</c><00:17:33.859><c> spirit</c><00:17:33.980><c> because</c><00:17:34.200><c> they</c><00:17:34.440><c> couldn't</c>

00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:35.779
find<00:17:35.160><c> Titus,</c><00:17:35.519><c> all</c><00:17:35.700><c> right?</c>

00:17:35.779 --> 00:17:36.680
That's<00:17:36.019><c> the</c><00:17:36.160><c> picture,</c><00:17:36.420><c> all</c><00:17:36.579><c> right?</c>

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.859
We're<00:17:37.140><c> not</c><00:17:37.319><c> told</c><00:17:37.519><c> any</c><00:17:37.839><c> more</c><00:17:38.059><c> than</c><00:17:38.319><c> that,</c><00:17:38.900><c> except</c><00:17:39.480><c> that,</c>

00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:41.079
and<00:17:39.960><c> just</c><00:17:40.220><c> let's</c><00:17:40.440><c> just</c><00:17:40.599><c> hold</c><00:17:40.720><c> this</c><00:17:40.980><c> thought.</c>

00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:42.539
We'll<00:17:41.259><c> read</c><00:17:41.440><c> it</c><00:17:41.640><c> now.</c>

00:17:42.619 --> 00:17:46.079
But<00:17:43.099><c> we'll</c><00:17:43.519><c> see</c><00:17:43.700><c> now</c><00:17:44.220><c> that</c><00:17:44.819><c> he's</c><00:17:45.079><c> obviously,</c><00:17:45.359><c> when</c><00:17:45.519><c> he</c><00:17:45.700><c> finds</c>

00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.160
Titus,<00:17:46.440><c> he's</c><00:17:46.700><c> overjoyed</c>

00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:49.000
because<00:17:47.359><c> in</c><00:17:47.579><c> verse</c><00:17:47.799><c> 14</c><00:17:48.380><c> he</c><00:17:48.759><c> says,</c>

00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.680
But<00:17:49.319><c> thanks</c><00:17:49.720><c> be</c><00:17:49.940><c> to</c><00:17:50.059><c> God,</c><00:17:50.440><c> which</c><00:17:50.480><c> always</c><00:17:51.019><c> causes</c><00:17:51.359><c> us</c><00:17:51.599><c> to</c><00:17:51.819><c> triumph</c><00:17:52.119><c> in</c><00:17:52.319><c> Christ</c>

00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.680
and<00:17:52.839><c> make</c><00:17:53.059><c> us</c><00:17:53.279><c> manifest</c><00:17:53.819><c> the</c><00:17:54.220><c> savor</c><00:17:54.500><c> of</c><00:17:54.599><c> his</c><00:17:54.779><c> knowledge</c><00:17:55.220><c> in</c>

00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:56.440
every<00:17:56.079><c> place.</c>

00:17:56.779 --> 00:18:00.299
And<00:17:57.000><c> then</c><00:17:57.140><c> he</c><00:17:57.259><c> goes</c><00:17:57.420><c> on</c><00:17:57.660><c> almost</c><00:17:57.920><c> like</c><00:17:58.279><c> after</c><00:17:58.720><c> finding</c><00:17:59.099><c> Titus,</c>

00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:01.400
he's<00:18:00.619><c> just</c><00:18:00.799><c> over</c><00:18:01.059><c> the</c><00:18:01.220><c> moon.</c>

00:18:01.460 --> 00:18:04.579
He<00:18:01.559><c> says,</c><00:18:01.960><c> For</c><00:18:02.160><c> we</c><00:18:02.480><c> are</c><00:18:02.579><c> under</c><00:18:02.740><c> God,</c><00:18:03.119><c> a</c><00:18:03.359><c> sweet</c><00:18:03.660><c> savor</c><00:18:04.000><c> of</c><00:18:04.220><c> Christ,</c>

00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:06.880
and<00:18:04.720><c> to</c><00:18:04.740><c> them</c><00:18:04.980><c> that</c><00:18:05.200><c> are</c><00:18:05.440><c> saved,</c><00:18:05.940><c> and</c><00:18:06.000><c> to</c><00:18:06.119><c> them</c><00:18:06.319><c> that</c><00:18:06.619><c> perish.</c>

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:09.400
To<00:18:07.299><c> the</c><00:18:07.519><c> one</c><00:18:07.660><c> we</c><00:18:07.799><c> are</c><00:18:07.920><c> the</c><00:18:08.119><c> savor</c><00:18:08.339><c> of</c><00:18:08.500><c> death</c><00:18:08.779><c> under</c><00:18:09.039><c> death,</c>

00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.740
and<00:18:09.839><c> the</c><00:18:09.980><c> other</c><00:18:10.140><c> we</c><00:18:10.259><c> are</c><00:18:10.359><c> the</c><00:18:10.559><c> savor</c><00:18:10.799><c> of</c><00:18:10.940><c> life</c><00:18:11.180><c> under</c><00:18:11.460><c> life.</c>

00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.940
Who<00:18:12.099><c> is</c><00:18:12.339><c> sufficient</c><00:18:12.680><c> of</c><00:18:12.819><c> these</c><00:18:13.079><c> things?</c>

00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:15.059
And<00:18:14.400><c> then</c><00:18:14.500><c> he</c><00:18:14.599><c> goes</c><00:18:14.740><c> on</c><00:18:14.920><c> and</c><00:18:15.000><c> says,</c>

00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:16.940
But<00:18:15.240><c> we</c><00:18:15.380><c> are</c><00:18:15.480><c> not</c><00:18:15.599><c> like</c><00:18:15.799><c> many</c><00:18:16.019><c> who</c><00:18:16.240><c> corrupt</c><00:18:16.460><c> the</c><00:18:16.700><c> word.</c>

00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:22.299
So<00:18:17.680><c> it</c><00:18:18.000><c> seems</c><00:18:18.299><c> like</c><00:18:18.700><c> he's</c><00:18:19.180><c> stressed</c><00:18:19.380><c> out,</c><00:18:21.039><c> he</c><00:18:21.220><c> can't</c><00:18:21.619><c> find</c><00:18:21.859><c> Titus,</c>

00:18:22.500 --> 00:18:26.200
so<00:18:22.700><c> he</c><00:18:22.859><c> decides</c><00:18:23.160><c> to</c><00:18:23.339><c> go</c><00:18:23.460><c> and</c><00:18:23.619><c> look</c><00:18:23.819><c> for</c><00:18:24.079><c> him,</c><00:18:25.200><c> and</c><00:18:25.640><c> then</c><00:18:25.920><c> we're</c>

00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:27.539
not<00:18:26.339><c> told</c><00:18:26.680><c> right</c><00:18:27.000><c> here,</c>

00:18:27.779 --> 00:18:30.740
but<00:18:28.039><c> then</c><00:18:28.599><c> it</c><00:18:28.920><c> seems</c><00:18:29.099><c> he</c><00:18:29.319><c> finds</c><00:18:29.640><c> him,</c><00:18:29.799><c> and</c><00:18:29.940><c> he's</c><00:18:30.420><c> thrilled</c>

00:18:30.740 --> 00:18:31.359
beyond<00:18:31.059><c> measure.</c>

00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:32.119
Does<00:18:31.579><c> that</c><00:18:31.740><c> make</c><00:18:31.900><c> sense?</c>

00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:35.579
Because<00:18:32.380><c> he</c><00:18:32.599><c> kind</c><00:18:32.720><c> of</c><00:18:33.079><c> erupts</c><00:18:33.339><c> with</c><00:18:33.519><c> this</c><00:18:33.720><c> wonderful</c><00:18:34.160><c> song</c><00:18:34.440><c> of</c><00:18:35.279><c> joy.</c>

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:38.980
Let's<00:18:36.299><c> turn</c><00:18:36.539><c> over</c><00:18:36.740><c> now</c><00:18:36.900><c> to</c><00:18:37.079><c> chapter</c><00:18:37.319><c> 7</c><00:18:37.819><c> and</c><00:18:38.240><c> see</c><00:18:38.420><c> if</c><00:18:38.480><c> we</c><00:18:38.619><c> can</c><00:18:38.839><c> see,</c>

00:18:39.059 --> 00:18:40.940
because<00:18:39.299><c> I</c><00:18:39.680><c> think</c><00:18:39.799><c> what</c><00:18:40.019><c> Paul's</c><00:18:40.460><c> doing,</c><00:18:40.720><c> again,</c>

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.220
remember<00:18:41.359><c> I</c><00:18:41.599><c> said</c><00:18:41.700><c> these</c><00:18:42.000><c> are</c><00:18:42.380><c> not</c><00:18:42.960><c> carefully</c><00:18:43.619><c> worded</c>

00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:46.619
theological<00:18:45.160><c> treatises.</c>

00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.259
These<00:18:47.299><c> are</c><00:18:47.640><c> letters</c><00:18:47.940><c> of</c><00:18:48.160><c> love</c><00:18:48.359><c> from</c><00:18:48.559><c> the</c><00:18:48.700><c> heart</c><00:18:48.819><c> of</c><00:18:49.059><c> Paul.</c>

00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:52.039
He<00:18:49.740><c> drops</c><00:18:50.119><c> this,</c><00:18:50.799><c> it's</c><00:18:51.119><c> in</c><00:18:51.240><c> his</c><00:18:51.460><c> introduction.</c>

00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:57.720
and<00:18:55.779><c> so</c><00:18:55.920><c> now</c><00:18:56.119><c> he's</c><00:18:56.319><c> going</c><00:18:56.480><c> to</c><00:18:56.640><c> tell</c><00:18:56.720><c> us</c><00:18:56.880><c> a</c><00:18:56.900><c> bit</c><00:18:57.059><c> more</c><00:18:57.359><c> detail</c>

00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.420
Now<00:18:59.400><c> see</c><00:18:59.720><c> if</c><00:18:59.740><c> you</c><00:18:59.859><c> can</c><00:19:00.059><c> see</c><00:19:00.240><c> the</c><00:19:00.440><c> links</c><00:19:00.619><c> that</c><00:19:00.720><c> we've</c><00:19:00.920><c> just</c><00:19:01.119><c> found</c><00:19:01.259><c> in</c>

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:05.019

00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:07.079
he<00:26:05.259><c> decided</c><00:26:05.420><c> not</c><00:26:05.619><c> to</c><00:26:06.339><c> try</c><00:26:06.519><c> that</c><00:26:06.740><c> again,</c>

00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:09.220

00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:19.259
it<00:26:17.000><c> was</c><00:26:17.200><c> not</c><00:26:17.420><c> just</c><00:26:17.720><c> a</c><00:26:18.259><c> do</c><00:26:18.400><c> it</c><00:26:18.519><c> or</c><00:26:18.680><c> else</c><00:26:18.839><c> letter,</c>

00:26:19.740 --> 00:26:22.500
but<00:26:19.940><c> it</c><00:26:20.059><c> was</c><00:26:20.480><c> a</c><00:26:20.940><c> balanced</c><00:26:21.279><c> letter</c><00:26:21.519><c> of</c><00:26:21.720><c> concern</c><00:26:22.059><c> and</c><00:26:22.259><c> love,</c>

00:26:22.500 --> 00:26:25.000

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:26.200
he<00:26:25.200><c> didn't</c><00:26:25.480><c> procrastinate,</c>

00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:27.900
he<00:26:26.400><c> didn't</c><00:26:26.599><c> say</c><00:26:26.819><c> I've</c><00:26:27.099><c> had</c><00:26:27.200><c> it</c><00:26:27.339><c> with</c><00:26:27.519><c> them,</c>

00:26:28.339 --> 00:26:29.480
he<00:26:28.680><c> followed</c><00:26:29.039><c> up,</c>

00:26:29.619 --> 00:26:31.240
and<00:26:29.720><c> in</c><00:26:29.819><c> fact</c><00:26:29.960><c> he</c><00:26:30.339><c> couldn't</c><00:26:30.819><c> stop,</c>

00:26:31.500 --> 00:26:34.980
he<00:26:31.839><c> wasn't</c><00:26:32.140><c> going</c><00:26:32.319><c> to</c><00:26:32.420><c> let</c><00:26:32.500><c> that</c><00:26:33.180><c> smolder</c><00:26:33.839><c> indefinitely,</c>

00:26:35.140 --> 00:26:38.500
and<00:26:35.279><c> so</c><00:26:35.440><c> eventually</c><00:26:35.940><c> he</c><00:26:36.339><c> decided</c><00:26:36.720><c> he</c><00:26:36.819><c> could</c><00:26:37.019><c> take</c><00:26:37.220><c> it</c><00:26:37.440><c> no</c><00:26:37.660><c> longer,</c>

00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:40.680
and<00:26:39.240><c> he</c><00:26:39.680><c> started</c><00:26:39.920><c> a</c><00:26:40.160><c> risky</c><00:26:40.420><c> move,</c>

00:26:40.779 --> 00:26:42.220
he<00:26:40.880><c> decided,</c><00:26:41.400><c> now</c><00:26:41.519><c> think</c><00:26:41.720><c> about</c><00:26:41.980><c> this,</c>

00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:43.140
he<00:26:42.660><c> decided,</c>

00:26:43.220 --> 00:26:45.220
he<00:26:43.299><c> was</c><00:26:43.500><c> so</c><00:26:43.700><c> worried</c><00:26:43.900><c> about</c><00:26:44.279><c> Titus</c><00:26:44.539><c> and</c><00:26:44.680><c> what</c><00:26:44.779><c> had</c><00:26:45.019><c> happened</c>

00:26:45.220 --> 00:26:45.539
to<00:26:45.380><c> him,</c>

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:47.119
he<00:26:45.880><c> decided</c><00:26:46.160><c> he</c><00:26:46.220><c> couldn't</c><00:26:46.460><c> stand</c><00:26:46.759><c> it</c><00:26:46.920><c> anymore,</c>

00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:49.339
so<00:26:47.279><c> he</c><00:26:47.299><c> went</c><00:26:47.440><c> back</c><00:26:47.700><c> to</c><00:26:47.900><c> Macedonia,</c><00:26:48.839><c> right?</c>

00:26:49.700 --> 00:26:51.920
Now<00:26:50.220><c> they</c><00:26:50.359><c> didn't,</c><00:26:50.680><c> you</c><00:26:50.940><c> may</c><00:26:51.140><c> come</c><00:26:51.380><c> as</c><00:26:51.539><c> a</c><00:26:51.619><c> surprise,</c>

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:53.839
but<00:26:52.059><c> they</c><00:26:52.119><c> didn't</c><00:26:52.339><c> have</c><00:26:52.619><c> cell</c><00:26:52.920><c> phones</c><00:26:53.200><c> back</c><00:26:53.539><c> then,</c>

00:26:54.099 --> 00:26:57.019
or<00:26:54.279><c> any</c><00:26:54.440><c> other</c><00:26:54.640><c> way</c><00:26:54.759><c> to</c><00:26:55.000><c> communicate</c><00:26:55.500><c> like</c><00:26:55.779><c> that,</c><00:26:56.000><c> okay?</c>

00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:57.799
So<00:26:57.299><c> what</c><00:26:57.440><c> he's</c><00:26:57.619><c> doing,</c>

00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:01.599
he's<00:26:58.119><c> in</c><00:26:58.359><c> Troas</c><00:26:58.700><c> on</c><00:26:59.839><c> the</c><00:27:00.400><c> Asian</c><00:27:00.759><c> soil,</c><00:27:01.599><c> right?</c>

00:27:01.700 --> 00:27:03.460
And<00:27:01.880><c> he</c><00:27:02.019><c> is</c><00:27:02.140><c> going</c><00:27:02.319><c> over</c><00:27:02.519><c> to</c><00:27:02.779><c> Greek</c><00:27:03.039><c> soil</c>

00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:05.539
on<00:27:04.160><c> a</c><00:27:04.359><c> couple</c><00:27:04.539><c> of</c><00:27:04.700><c> days</c><00:27:04.900><c> boat</c><00:27:05.180><c> journey,</c>

00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:09.359
from<00:27:06.160><c> there</c><00:27:06.460><c> he's</c><00:27:06.740><c> going</c><00:27:06.880><c> to</c><00:27:07.819><c> find</c><00:27:08.079><c> Titus,</c>

00:27:09.539 --> 00:27:12.559
in<00:27:09.720><c> a</c><00:27:09.940><c> population</c><00:27:10.400><c> of</c><00:27:10.579><c> about</c><00:27:10.880><c> two</c><00:27:11.140><c> million</c><00:27:11.339><c> people,</c>

00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:16.759
do<00:27:13.579><c> you</c><00:27:13.779><c> see</c><00:27:14.019><c> again</c><00:27:14.279><c> the</c><00:27:14.559><c> distress</c><00:27:15.259><c> that</c><00:27:15.559><c> Paul</c><00:27:15.660><c> was</c><00:27:15.920><c> under?</c>

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:20.160
Obviously<00:27:17.359><c> I</c><00:27:17.539><c> think</c><00:27:18.079><c> he</c><00:27:18.619><c> could</c><00:27:18.819><c> have</c><00:27:18.980><c> passed</c><00:27:19.380><c> like</c><00:27:19.859><c> ships</c><00:27:20.000><c> in</c>

00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:21.099
the<00:27:20.279><c> night,</c>

00:27:21.140 --> 00:27:21.920
obviously<00:27:21.180><c> on</c><00:27:21.380><c> the</c><00:27:21.480><c> way</c><00:27:21.660><c> over,</c>

00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:24.839
he'd<00:27:22.359><c> obviously</c><00:27:22.640><c> prayed</c><00:27:22.900><c> earnestly</c><00:27:23.299><c> that</c><00:27:23.720><c> God</c><00:27:23.960><c> will</c><00:27:24.579><c> direct</c>

00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:25.400
him<00:27:25.019><c> to</c><00:27:25.259><c> Titus,</c>

00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:27.720
and<00:27:25.500><c> I'm</c><00:27:25.680><c> sure</c><00:27:25.859><c> that</c><00:27:26.380><c> if</c><00:27:26.619><c> Titus</c><00:27:26.900><c> was</c><00:27:27.019><c> on</c><00:27:27.220><c> the</c><00:27:27.359><c> way</c><00:27:27.539><c> back</c>

00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.720
he<00:27:27.819><c> would</c><00:27:28.019><c> know</c><00:27:28.220><c> the</c><00:27:28.500><c> route</c><00:27:28.660><c> would</c><00:27:28.920><c> be</c><00:27:29.099><c> from</c><00:27:29.299><c> Corinth</c><00:27:29.500><c> to</c><00:27:29.759><c> Athens</c><00:27:30.079><c> to</c>

00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:31.900
Berea<00:27:31.160><c> to</c><00:27:31.299><c> Thessaloniki</c>

00:27:31.900 --> 00:27:34.299
to<00:27:32.460><c> Philippi</c><00:27:32.920><c> to</c><00:27:33.119><c> Samothrace</c><00:27:33.539><c> and</c><00:27:33.799><c> off,</c><00:27:34.119><c> right?</c>

00:27:34.299 --> 00:27:35.819
So<00:27:34.619><c> I</c><00:27:34.920><c> think</c><00:27:35.099><c> he</c><00:27:35.299><c> knew</c><00:27:35.480><c> the</c><00:27:35.720><c> route,</c>

00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:37.720

00:28:35.420 --> 00:28:37.460

00:28:48.940 --> 00:28:51.299
So<00:28:49.079><c> I</c><00:28:49.119><c> think</c><00:28:49.259><c> it</c><00:28:49.380><c> gives</c><00:28:49.599><c> us</c><00:28:49.759><c> an</c><00:28:49.859><c> illustration</c><00:28:50.319><c> of</c><00:28:50.660><c> Paul's</c><00:28:51.079><c> view</c>

00:28:56.900 --> 00:29:00.180
But<00:28:57.079><c> I</c><00:28:57.279><c> believe</c><00:28:57.539><c> there's</c><00:28:58.099><c> even</c><00:28:58.859><c> more</c><00:28:59.460><c> to</c><00:28:59.640><c> that</c><00:28:59.880><c> picture</c>

he<00:30:11.700><c> was</c><00:30:12.099><c> given</c><00:30:12.339><c> what</c><00:30:12.579><c> became</c><00:30:13.039><c> the</c><00:30:13.420><c> benchmark,</c>

00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:18.799
the<00:30:15.680><c> measuring</c><00:30:16.220><c> stick</c><00:30:16.539><c> of</c><00:30:16.720><c> what</c><00:30:16.900><c> a</c><00:30:17.079><c> good</c><00:30:17.400><c> triumph</c><00:30:17.900><c> was</c><00:30:18.119><c> all</c><00:30:18.400><c> about.</c>

00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:21.200
Because<00:30:19.359><c> when</c><00:30:19.680><c> he</c><00:30:19.819><c> went</c><00:30:20.059><c> back</c><00:30:20.380><c> to</c><00:30:20.720><c> Rome,</c>

00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:28.599
And<00:30:26.359><c> it</c><00:30:26.480><c> was</c><00:30:26.759><c> a</c><00:30:26.779><c> massive</c><00:30:27.460><c> thing.</c>

00:30:31.500 --> 00:30:35.019
And<00:30:32.039><c> it</c><00:30:32.579><c> was</c><00:30:32.839><c> so</c><00:30:33.220><c> big</c><00:30:33.500><c> that</c><00:30:33.799><c> any</c><00:30:34.019><c> other</c><00:30:34.400><c> triumph</c><00:30:34.579><c> that</c><00:30:34.859><c> followed,</c>

00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:37.500
it<00:30:35.160><c> was</c><00:30:35.319><c> kind</c><00:30:35.460><c> of</c><00:30:35.680><c> measured</c><00:30:35.900><c> after</c><00:30:36.240><c> Lucius</c><00:30:36.720><c> Mummius'</c><00:30:37.359><c> triumph.</c>

And<00:32:31.059><c> actually</c><00:32:31.259><c> he</c><00:32:31.420><c> ended</c><00:32:31.619><c> up</c><00:32:31.799><c> spending</c><00:32:32.000><c> the</c><00:32:32.160><c> rest</c><00:32:32.319><c> of</c><00:32:32.460><c> his</c><00:32:32.700><c> days</c><00:32:32.920><c> in</c>

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:34.980
Rome<00:32:33.559><c> as</c><00:32:33.980><c> a</c><00:32:34.180><c> Roman</c><00:32:34.440><c> house</c><00:32:34.819><c> guest</c>

00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:38.759

00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:43.640
So<00:32:41.279><c> that</c><00:32:41.720><c> was</c><00:32:41.900><c> a</c><00:32:42.099><c> very,</c><00:32:42.299><c> very</c><00:32:42.519><c> real</c><00:32:42.740><c> thing.</c>

00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:48.119

00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:51.160
Now<00:32:48.380><c> think</c><00:32:48.519><c> of</c><00:32:48.680><c> what</c><00:32:48.819><c> Paul's</c><00:32:49.259><c> saying</c><00:32:49.400><c> as</c><00:32:49.819><c> we</c><00:32:50.000><c> think</c><00:32:50.160><c> about</c><00:32:50.319><c> this</c><00:32:50.519><c> with</c><00:32:50.660><c> regard</c><00:32:50.900><c> to</c>

00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:56.140
And<00:32:53.420><c> so</c><00:32:53.579><c> as</c><00:32:54.380><c> the</c><00:32:54.599><c> Roman</c><00:32:54.839><c> triumph</c><00:32:55.220><c> went</c><00:32:55.420><c> down</c><00:32:55.680><c> the</c><00:32:55.920><c> street,</c><00:32:56.079><c> it</c>

00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:18.559
So<00:37:16.539><c> it's</c><00:37:16.659><c> very</c><00:37:16.940><c> serious</c><00:37:17.239><c> and</c><00:37:17.420><c> a</c><00:37:17.500><c> very</c><00:37:17.679><c> beautiful</c><00:37:18.139><c> picture,</c>

00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:20.559

00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:21.599
answer<00:37:20.739><c> now,</c>

00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:24.380
which<00:37:22.300><c> part</c><00:37:22.599><c> of</c><00:37:22.739><c> the</c><00:37:22.880><c> victory</c><00:37:23.119><c> will</c><00:37:23.380><c> be</c><00:37:23.559><c> in.</c>

00:37:28.940 --> 00:37:31.360
And<00:37:29.340><c> so</c><00:37:29.739><c> Paul</c><00:37:30.260><c> actually</c><00:37:30.579><c> won't</c><00:37:30.760><c> look</c><00:37:31.019><c> at</c><00:37:31.119><c> it</c><00:37:31.239><c> now,</c>

00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.699
but<00:37:31.519><c> in</c><00:37:31.679><c> 1</c><00:37:31.860><c> Corinthians</c><00:37:32.219><c> 4</c><00:37:32.820><c> he</c><00:37:33.139><c> actually</c><00:37:33.480><c> uses</c><00:37:33.760><c> the</c><00:37:34.099><c> other</c><00:37:34.400><c> side</c><00:37:34.559><c> of</c>

00:37:34.699 --> 00:37:35.579
the<00:37:34.820><c> picture</c><00:37:35.039><c> of</c><00:37:35.239><c> a</c><00:37:35.380><c> triumph,</c>

00:37:35.579 --> 00:37:37.739
and<00:37:35.679><c> he</c><00:37:35.820><c> says</c><00:37:36.059><c> that</c><00:37:36.400><c> you</c><00:37:36.619><c> people,</c><00:37:37.119><c> you</c><00:37:37.199><c> 1</c><00:37:37.380><c> Corinthians,</c>

00:37:37.820 --> 00:37:40.639
are<00:37:38.199><c> treating</c><00:37:38.599><c> us</c><00:37:39.260><c> like</c><00:37:39.619><c> as</c><00:37:39.820><c> though</c><00:37:39.940><c> you're</c><00:37:40.179><c> the</c><00:37:40.300><c> victors</c><00:37:40.559><c> and</c>

00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:41.260
we're<00:37:40.920><c> the</c><00:37:41.099><c> slaves.</c>

00:37:41.260 --> 00:37:43.159
So<00:37:41.460><c> he's</c><00:37:41.639><c> very</c><00:37:41.960><c> familiar</c><00:37:42.239><c> with</c><00:37:42.420><c> this</c><00:37:42.639><c> terminology,</c>

00:37:43.219 --> 00:37:45.239
and<00:37:43.360><c> if</c><00:37:43.460><c> you</c><00:37:43.579><c> want</c><00:37:43.659><c> to</c><00:37:43.780><c> make</c><00:37:43.920><c> a</c><00:37:44.039><c> note</c><00:37:44.099><c> it's</c><00:37:44.280><c> in</c><00:37:44.480><c> 4</c><00:37:44.639><c> verse</c><00:37:44.860><c> 9,</c>

00:37:45.460 --> 00:37:48.019
and<00:37:45.579><c> he</c><00:37:45.699><c> actually</c><00:37:45.860><c> gives</c><00:37:46.019><c> the</c><00:37:46.219><c> other</c><00:37:46.440><c> side</c><00:37:46.579><c> of</c><00:37:46.699><c> this</c><00:37:46.880><c> same</c><00:37:47.139><c> picture.</c>

00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:53.519
So<00:37:50.900><c> he</c><00:37:51.340><c> is</c><00:37:51.719><c> triumphant</c><00:37:52.260><c> about</c><00:37:52.599><c> the</c><00:37:52.820><c> coming</c><00:37:53.000><c> of</c><00:37:53.340><c> Titus.</c>

00:37:53.659 --> 00:37:58.400
He's<00:37:53.920><c> absolutely</c><00:37:54.420><c> thrilled,</c><00:37:55.360><c> and</c><00:37:55.619><c> so</c><00:37:55.780><c> he</c><00:37:56.019><c> bursts</c><00:37:56.360><c> out</c><00:37:56.840><c> how</c><00:37:57.340><c> happy</c><00:37:57.719><c> he</c><00:37:57.940><c> is,</c>

00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:05.320
and<00:37:58.880><c> now</c><00:38:00.139><c> we</c><00:38:01.239><c> want</c><00:38:01.440><c> to</c><00:38:01.639><c> think</c><00:38:01.860><c> a</c><00:38:02.059><c> little</c><00:38:02.300><c> bit</c><00:38:02.920><c> about</c><00:38:03.940><c> Titus.</c>

00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:11.780
If<00:38:09.059><c> you'd</c><00:38:09.300><c> like</c><00:38:09.300><c> to</c><00:38:09.480><c> turn</c><00:38:09.659><c> to</c><00:38:09.820><c> chapter</c><00:38:10.139><c> 8</c><00:38:10.619><c> in</c><00:38:10.900><c> verse</c><00:38:11.139><c> 17,</c>

00:38:11.820 --> 00:38:15.739
because<00:38:12.059><c> that's</c><00:38:12.340><c> the</c><00:38:12.500><c> next</c><00:38:12.760><c> time</c><00:38:12.980><c> that</c><00:38:13.260><c> Titus</c><00:38:13.539><c> occurs</c><00:38:13.940><c> in</c><00:38:14.219><c> the</c><00:38:14.900><c> script,</c>

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:21.380
we<00:38:16.579><c> have</c><00:38:16.679><c> this</c><00:38:17.000><c> beautiful</c><00:38:18.059><c> example</c><00:38:19.059><c> of</c><00:38:20.159><c> Titus.</c>

00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:33.900
Let's<00:38:32.320><c> read</c><00:38:32.539><c> it.</c>

00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:42.820
The<00:38:41.000><c> authorized</c><00:38:41.360><c> version</c><00:38:41.739><c> says,</c>

00:38:43.219 --> 00:38:45.519
But<00:38:43.440><c> thanks,</c><00:38:44.059><c> verse</c><00:38:44.199><c> 16,</c><00:38:44.820><c> be</c><00:38:45.000><c> to</c><00:38:45.179><c> God,</c>

00:38:45.820 --> 00:38:50.880
which<00:38:46.019><c> put</c><00:38:46.340><c> the</c><00:38:46.719><c> same</c><00:38:47.139><c> earnest</c><00:38:47.579><c> care</c><00:38:48.300><c> into</c><00:38:48.880><c> the</c><00:38:49.139><c> heart</c><00:38:49.360><c> of</c><00:38:49.719><c> Titus</c><00:38:50.079><c> for</c><00:38:50.460><c> you.</c>

00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:53.599
For<00:38:51.360><c> indeed</c><00:38:51.800><c> he</c><00:38:52.460><c> accepted</c><00:38:52.900><c> the</c><00:38:53.239><c> exhortation,</c>

00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:58.179

to<00:38:58.420><c> you.</c>

00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:02.500
He's<00:38:59.460><c> saying,</c><00:39:00.519><c> I</c><00:39:00.719><c> didn't</c><00:39:00.920><c> have</c><00:39:01.159><c> to</c><00:39:01.420><c> push</c><00:39:01.719><c> Titus</c><00:39:02.079><c> into</c><00:39:02.280><c> this</c>

00:39:02.500 --> 00:39:03.760
awkward<00:39:02.820><c> job.</c>

00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:05.860
You<00:39:03.880><c> notice</c><00:39:04.000><c> those</c><00:39:04.280><c> two</c><00:39:04.579><c> lovely</c><00:39:04.960><c> words?</c>

00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:08.679
I<00:39:06.760><c> think</c><00:39:06.940><c> the</c><00:39:07.159><c> NIV</c><00:39:07.440><c> says,</c>

00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:11.579
But<00:39:10.099><c> Titus</c><00:39:10.440><c> not</c><00:39:10.599><c> only</c><00:39:10.880><c> welcomed</c><00:39:11.099><c> our</c><00:39:11.360><c> appeal,</c>

00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:14.559
but<00:39:11.739><c> he</c><00:39:11.860><c> is</c><00:39:11.960><c> coming</c><00:39:12.179><c> to</c><00:39:12.300><c> you</c><00:39:12.460><c> with</c><00:39:12.739><c> much</c><00:39:13.219><c> enthusiasm</c><00:39:14.179><c> and</c><00:39:14.420><c> of</c>

00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:17.059
his<00:39:14.780><c> own</c><00:39:16.059><c> initiative.</c>

00:39:17.739 --> 00:39:20.579
And<00:39:18.139><c> again,</c><00:39:18.699><c> it's</c><00:39:18.880><c> so</c><00:39:19.179><c> beautiful</c><00:39:19.460><c> to</c><00:39:19.679><c> sometimes</c><00:39:20.000><c> scratch</c><00:39:20.340><c> the</c>

00:39:21.739 --> 00:39:24.579
because<00:39:22.099><c> enthusiasm</c><00:39:22.840><c> is</c><00:39:23.059><c> just</c><00:39:23.280><c> a</c><00:39:23.519><c> marvelous</c><00:39:23.920><c> word</c><00:39:24.179><c> anyway,</c>

00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:26.059
and<00:39:24.699><c> I</c><00:39:24.780><c> think</c><00:39:24.840><c> we</c><00:39:24.940><c> can</c><00:39:25.119><c> all</c><00:39:25.280><c> learn</c><00:39:25.460><c> from</c><00:39:25.619><c> it.</c>

00:39:26.139 --> 00:39:29.420
But<00:39:26.340><c> it</c><00:39:26.619><c> has</c><00:39:26.860><c> the</c><00:39:27.079><c> idea,</c><00:39:27.739><c> as</c><00:39:28.219><c> you</c><00:39:28.320><c> can</c><00:39:28.539><c> see</c><00:39:28.659><c> that</c><00:39:28.980><c> big</c><00:39:29.239><c> long</c>

00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:33.360
it's<00:39:31.000><c> the</c><00:39:31.139><c> word</c><00:39:31.280><c> you'll</c><00:39:31.539><c> notice</c><00:39:31.840><c> P</c><00:39:32.139><c>-O</c><00:39:32.179><c>-U</c><00:39:32.500><c>-D</c><00:39:32.599><c> in</c><00:39:32.699><c> the</c><00:39:32.780><c> middle</c><00:39:32.980><c> of</c><00:39:33.119><c> it,</c>

00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:35.800
we<00:39:33.659><c> call</c><00:39:34.639><c> them</c><00:39:34.840><c> podiatrists,</c><00:39:35.659><c> right?</c>

00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:37.099
What's<00:39:36.000><c> it</c><00:39:36.059><c> got</c><00:39:36.179><c> to</c><00:39:36.300><c> do</c><00:39:36.420><c> with?</c>

00:39:37.579 --> 00:39:38.980
It's<00:39:37.840><c> to</c><00:39:37.920><c> do</c><00:39:37.940><c> with</c><00:39:38.119><c> the</c><00:39:38.239><c> foot.</c>

00:39:39.460 --> 00:39:41.860
And<00:39:39.519><c> so</c><00:39:39.760><c> enthusiasm</c><00:39:40.539><c> has</c><00:39:40.940><c> the</c><00:39:41.179><c> idea</c><00:39:41.460><c> to</c><00:39:41.659><c> me</c><00:39:41.760><c> of,</c>

00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:45.099
Now<00:39:43.820><c> it's</c><00:39:43.960><c> not</c><00:39:44.219><c> standing</c><00:39:44.559><c> still.</c>

00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:47.539
And<00:39:45.619><c> so</c><00:39:45.760><c> it</c><00:39:46.159><c> has</c><00:39:46.440><c> the</c><00:39:46.659><c> meaning</c><00:39:46.880><c> of</c><00:39:47.159><c> speed.</c>

00:39:47.619 --> 00:39:50.059
The<00:39:47.840><c> faster</c><00:39:48.119><c> you</c><00:39:48.300><c> move</c><00:39:48.440><c> the</c><00:39:48.840><c> feet,</c><00:39:49.139><c> the</c><00:39:49.199><c> faster</c><00:39:49.500><c> you</c><00:39:49.699><c> go,</c><00:39:49.900><c> right?</c>

00:39:50.059 --> 00:39:51.139
And<00:39:50.239><c> more</c><00:39:50.239><c> speed.</c>

00:39:51.219 --> 00:39:54.539
So<00:39:51.219><c> it's</c><00:39:51.579><c> an</c><00:39:51.719><c> idea</c><00:39:52.039><c> of</c><00:39:52.780><c> somebody</c><00:39:53.219><c> with</c><00:39:53.699><c> that</c><00:39:54.019><c> earnest</c><00:39:54.320><c> thing,</c>

00:39:54.619 --> 00:39:56.059
who's<00:39:54.780><c> ready</c><00:39:55.059><c> to</c><00:39:55.199><c> get</c><00:39:55.380><c> on</c><00:39:55.500><c> with</c><00:39:55.679><c> the</c><00:39:55.820><c> job.</c>

00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:57.599
Is<00:39:56.639><c> that</c><00:39:56.800><c> us?</c>

00:39:58.420 --> 00:39:59.079
Titus<00:39:58.739><c> was</c><00:39:58.920><c> young.</c>

00:39:59.179 --> 00:40:01.119
He<00:39:59.280><c> wasn't</c><00:39:59.539><c> a</c><00:39:59.860><c> patch</c><00:40:00.059><c> on</c><00:40:00.260><c> Paul.</c>

00:40:01.139 --> 00:40:02.519
I<00:40:01.320><c> can</c><00:40:01.480><c> just</c><00:40:01.619><c> imagine</c><00:40:01.920><c> Titus</c><00:40:02.260><c> saying,</c>

00:40:02.739 --> 00:40:06.800
Paul,<00:40:03.360><c> if</c><00:40:03.500><c> you</c><00:40:03.679><c> fail,</c><00:40:04.039><c> this</c><00:40:04.059><c> is</c><00:40:04.199><c> no,</c><00:40:04.639><c> forget</c><00:40:05.460><c> it,</c><00:40:05.920><c> right?</c>

00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:08.579
But<00:40:07.280><c> what</c><00:40:07.440><c> does</c><00:40:07.539><c> it</c><00:40:07.639><c> say?</c>

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:10.860
Even<00:40:09.519><c> though</c><00:40:09.679><c> he's</c><00:40:09.820><c> a</c><00:40:09.920><c> young</c><00:40:10.039><c> man,</c>

00:40:11.780 --> 00:40:15.500
with<00:40:12.179><c> enthusiasm</c><00:40:12.579><c> and</c><00:40:13.460><c> then</c><00:40:14.000><c> his</c><00:40:14.880><c> own</c><00:40:15.139><c> initiative.</c>

00:40:15.539 --> 00:40:17.179
And<00:40:15.679><c> you</c><00:40:15.719><c> can</c><00:40:15.920><c> notice</c><00:40:16.159><c> the</c><00:40:16.380><c> word</c><00:40:16.519><c> there</c><00:40:16.719><c> from</c><00:40:16.920><c> the</c><00:40:17.099><c> Greek,</c>

00:40:17.260 --> 00:40:19.059
it's<00:40:17.420><c> the</c><00:40:17.519><c> word</c><00:40:17.679><c> authority,</c><00:40:18.440><c> own</c><00:40:18.519><c> authority.</c>

00:40:19.059 --> 00:40:22.239
In<00:40:19.659><c> other</c><00:40:19.940><c> words,</c><00:40:20.559><c> he</c><00:40:20.619><c> decided</c><00:40:21.079><c> himself.</c>

00:40:22.699 --> 00:40:24.260
And<00:40:22.820><c> God</c><00:40:22.980><c> can</c><00:40:23.280><c> use</c><00:40:23.619><c> that.</c>

00:40:24.579 --> 00:40:27.119
When<00:40:24.800><c> we</c><00:40:25.099><c> are</c><00:40:25.519><c> enthusiastic,</c>

00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:29.800
and<00:40:28.039><c> that's</c><00:40:28.239><c> why</c><00:40:28.420><c> it</c><00:40:28.559><c> says</c><00:40:28.679><c> in</c><00:40:28.800><c> that</c><00:40:29.059><c> previous</c><00:40:29.460><c> verse</c><00:40:29.679><c> there</c>

00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:31.480
that<00:40:29.860><c> I</c><00:40:30.039><c> just</c><00:40:30.340><c> read,</c>

00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:36.159
but<00:40:32.599><c> thanks</c><00:40:32.880><c> be</c><00:40:33.039><c> to</c><00:40:33.159><c> God</c><00:40:33.300><c> that</c><00:40:33.500><c> put</c><00:40:33.699><c> the</c><00:40:33.960><c> earnest</c><00:40:34.199><c> care</c><00:40:34.739><c> of,</c>

00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.260
the<00:40:37.039><c> same</c><00:40:37.260><c> earnest</c><00:40:37.480><c> care</c><00:40:37.699><c> into</c><00:40:37.840><c> the</c><00:40:38.019><c> heart</c><00:40:38.239><c> of</c><00:40:38.380><c> Titus</c><00:40:38.699><c> for</c><00:40:39.000><c> you.</c>

00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:41.659
When<00:40:39.659><c> we</c><00:40:39.920><c> are</c><00:40:40.280><c> enthusiastic,</c>

00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:45.619
when<00:40:42.199><c> we</c><00:40:42.400><c> are</c><00:40:42.579><c> prepared</c><00:40:42.960><c> to</c><00:40:44.260><c> get</c><00:40:44.599><c> out</c><00:40:44.880><c> and</c><00:40:45.099><c> start</c><00:40:45.320><c> doing,</c>

00:40:45.619 --> 00:40:49.199
God<00:40:46.159><c> will</c><00:40:46.380><c> put</c><00:40:46.739><c> into</c><00:40:47.119><c> our</c><00:40:47.579><c> hearts</c><00:40:47.920><c> the</c><00:40:48.199><c> ability</c><00:40:48.679><c> to</c><00:40:48.840><c> do</c><00:40:49.039><c> it.</c>

00:40:49.340 --> 00:40:50.400
And<00:40:49.340><c> I</c><00:40:49.500><c> really</c><00:40:49.800><c> believe</c><00:40:50.139><c> that.</c>

00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:53.340
But<00:40:50.719><c> what</c><00:40:50.900><c> it</c><00:40:51.099><c> needs</c><00:40:51.300><c> is</c><00:40:51.440><c> that</c><00:40:51.699><c> little</c><00:40:52.039><c> step</c><00:40:52.420><c> of</c><00:40:52.800><c> faith,</c><00:40:53.059><c> isn't</c><00:40:53.219><c> it?</c>

00:40:53.599 --> 00:40:56.360
That<00:40:53.840><c> tremendous</c><00:40:54.460><c> first</c><00:40:55.199><c> step</c><00:40:55.739><c> that</c><00:40:56.199><c> says,</c>

00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:58.559
I<00:40:56.440><c> don't</c><00:40:56.599><c> know</c><00:40:56.699><c> how</c><00:40:56.820><c> to</c><00:40:56.940><c> do</c><00:40:57.039><c> this,</c><00:40:57.179><c> but</c><00:40:57.260><c> by</c><00:40:57.539><c> God's</c><00:40:58.239><c> strength,</c>

00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:00.280
he<00:40:59.079><c> can</c><00:40:59.280><c> do</c><00:40:59.500><c> this.</c>

00:41:00.340 --> 00:41:01.840
And<00:41:00.500><c> so</c><00:41:00.639><c> now</c><00:41:00.860><c> God</c><00:41:01.039><c> can</c><00:41:01.239><c> work</c><00:41:01.500><c> with</c><00:41:01.719><c> that.</c>

00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:04.320
And<00:41:01.940><c> of</c><00:41:02.139><c> course</c><00:41:02.300><c> he</c><00:41:02.440><c> did,</c><00:41:02.639><c> and</c><00:41:02.780><c> he</c><00:41:02.920><c> worked</c><00:41:03.059><c> a</c><00:41:03.239><c> great</c><00:41:03.360><c> miracle.</c>

00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:08.219
And<00:41:04.699><c> often,</c><00:41:06.239><c> I</c><00:41:06.260><c> think</c><00:41:06.480><c> if</c><00:41:06.719><c> Titus</c><00:41:06.940><c> teaches</c><00:41:07.199><c> us</c><00:41:07.440><c> nothing</c><00:41:07.820><c> else,</c>

00:41:08.300 --> 00:41:11.219
that<00:41:08.460><c> it's</c><00:41:09.059><c> often</c><00:41:09.320><c> our</c><00:41:09.679><c> own</c><00:41:09.980><c> negative</c><00:41:10.500><c> perceptions,</c>

00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:13.880
both<00:41:11.619><c> of</c><00:41:11.960><c> others,</c><00:41:12.619><c> those</c><00:41:12.940><c> people</c><00:41:13.360><c> are</c><00:41:13.619><c> hopeless,</c>

00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.820
whatever<00:41:14.260><c> it</c><00:41:14.400><c> is,</c><00:41:14.679><c> those</c><00:41:14.880><c> Corinthians</c><00:41:15.179><c> are</c><00:41:15.400><c> hopeless,</c><00:41:15.780><c> there's</c><00:41:15.800><c> no</c><00:41:16.000><c> point.</c>

00:41:17.460 --> 00:41:19.719
And<00:41:17.659><c> negative</c><00:41:17.980><c> perception</c><00:41:18.519><c> about</c><00:41:18.820><c> other</c><00:41:19.099><c> brethren</c><00:41:19.360><c> and</c><00:41:19.559><c> sisters</c>

00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:21.699
or<00:41:19.880><c> other</c><00:41:20.059><c> people,</c><00:41:20.519><c> or</c><00:41:20.659><c> our</c><00:41:20.880><c> witness</c><00:41:21.179><c> to</c><00:41:21.400><c> the</c><00:41:21.579><c> world,</c>

00:41:21.739 --> 00:41:22.480
what<00:41:21.920><c> do</c><00:41:22.019><c> we</c><00:41:22.059><c> often</c><00:41:22.320><c> do?</c>

00:41:22.539 --> 00:41:24.800
We<00:41:22.639><c> decide</c><00:41:23.019><c> they're</c><00:41:23.519><c> not</c><00:41:23.739><c> interested.</c>

00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:27.519
And<00:41:25.179><c> so</c><00:41:25.260><c> we</c><00:41:25.519><c> make</c><00:41:25.699><c> it</c><00:41:25.860><c> a</c><00:41:25.980><c> self</c><00:41:26.159><c>-fulfilling</c><00:41:26.519><c> prophecy.</c>

00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:29.960
Enthusiasm<00:41:28.400><c> doesn't</c><00:41:28.639><c> do</c><00:41:28.900><c> that.</c>

00:41:30.179 --> 00:41:34.119
And<00:41:30.360><c> so</c><00:41:30.599><c> often</c><00:41:30.900><c> it</c><00:41:31.019><c> can</c><00:41:31.199><c> be</c><00:41:31.420><c> our</c><00:41:32.059><c> perception</c><00:41:32.719><c> of</c><00:41:33.079><c> our</c><00:41:33.380><c> role</c><00:41:33.559><c> in</c><00:41:33.840><c> Christ,</c>

00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:35.980
that<00:41:34.340><c> little</c><00:41:34.800><c> talent</c><00:41:35.139><c> that</c><00:41:35.340><c> God</c><00:41:35.500><c> has</c><00:41:35.699><c> given</c><00:41:35.840><c> us,</c>

00:41:35.980 --> 00:41:37.360
he<00:41:36.099><c> can</c><00:41:36.340><c> use</c><00:41:36.579><c> to</c><00:41:36.739><c> his</c><00:41:36.940><c> glory,</c>

00:41:37.780 --> 00:41:39.940
and<00:41:37.960><c> our</c><00:41:38.139><c> ability</c><00:41:38.519><c> to</c><00:41:38.780><c> reach</c><00:41:39.019><c> out</c><00:41:39.219><c> to</c><00:41:39.380><c> other</c><00:41:39.579><c> people.</c>

00:41:39.940 --> 00:41:43.539
And<00:41:40.440><c> so</c><00:41:40.699><c> we</c><00:41:40.880><c> have</c><00:41:41.039><c> that</c><00:41:41.260><c> beautiful</c><00:41:41.619><c> lesson</c><00:41:41.920><c> in</c><00:41:42.260><c> Titus.</c>

00:41:46.380 --> 00:41:50.780
Finally<00:41:46.760><c> then,</c><00:41:47.559><c> I</c><00:41:47.719><c> would</c><00:41:47.840><c> like</c><00:41:48.000><c> us</c><00:41:48.219><c> to</c><00:41:48.659><c> think</c><00:41:49.000><c> about</c>

00:41:51.260 --> 00:41:54.780
the<00:41:51.780><c> battleground</c><00:41:52.300><c> for</c><00:41:52.559><c> a</c><00:41:52.719><c> start</c><00:41:53.000><c> that</c><00:41:53.659><c> Paul</c><00:41:53.920><c> was</c><00:41:54.179><c> dealing</c><00:41:54.440><c> with.</c>

00:41:55.099 --> 00:41:57.159
Let's<00:41:55.300><c> just</c><00:41:55.480><c> look</c><00:41:55.599><c> at</c><00:41:55.719><c> the</c><00:41:55.840><c> last</c><00:41:56.039><c> couple</c><00:41:56.300><c> of</c><00:41:56.519><c> verses</c><00:41:56.739><c> where</c>

00:41:57.159 --> 00:41:58.559

00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:21.539
And<00:43:19.119><c> again,</c><00:43:19.280><c> I</c><00:43:19.460><c> often</c><00:43:19.679><c> think</c><00:43:20.000><c> about</c><00:43:20.400><c> the</c><00:43:20.619><c> Lord</c><00:43:20.820><c> Jesus</c><00:43:21.219><c> Christ,</c>

00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:24.699
You<00:43:23.119><c> know,</c><00:43:23.219><c> sometimes</c><00:43:23.619><c> we</c><00:43:23.820><c> have</c><00:43:23.940><c> moved</c><00:43:24.159><c> out,</c><00:43:24.380><c> haven't</c><00:43:24.500><c> we?</c>

00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:27.940
And<00:43:25.179><c> we've</c><00:43:25.460><c> tried</c><00:43:25.559><c> to</c><00:43:25.739><c> do</c><00:43:25.840><c> what's</c><00:43:26.300><c> right</c><00:43:26.679><c> and</c><00:43:27.019><c> what's</c><00:43:27.559><c> honest</c>

00:43:27.940 --> 00:43:30.000
and<00:43:28.199><c> what's</c><00:43:28.719><c> Christ</c><00:43:28.960><c>-like.</c>

00:43:30.860 --> 00:43:34.199
And<00:43:30.860><c> all</c><00:43:31.079><c> people</c><00:43:31.400><c> do</c><00:43:32.019><c> is</c><00:43:32.300><c> take</c><00:43:32.579><c> what</c><00:43:32.719><c> we</c><00:43:32.980><c> say</c><00:43:33.199><c> and</c><00:43:33.340><c> throw</c><00:43:33.699><c> it</c><00:43:33.880><c> back</c><00:43:34.019><c> in</c>

00:43:37.699 --> 00:43:40.880
I<00:43:37.900><c> think</c><00:43:38.039><c> it's</c><00:43:38.280><c> such</c><00:43:38.480><c> an</c><00:43:38.739><c> important</c><00:43:39.400><c> lesson</c><00:43:39.800><c> that</c><00:43:40.500><c> we</c><00:43:40.619><c> learned</c>

00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:41.579
from<00:43:41.139><c> them</c>

00:43:41.579 --> 00:43:46.980
that<00:43:42.400><c> we</c><00:43:43.659><c> can</c><00:43:44.000><c> receive</c><00:43:44.460><c> a</c><00:43:44.619><c> lot</c><00:43:44.760><c> of</c><00:43:44.980><c> bitterness</c><00:43:45.280><c> as</c><00:43:46.119><c> Paul</c><00:43:46.440><c> received</c>

00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:58.440
and<00:43:53.320><c> we</c><00:43:53.440><c> can</c><00:43:53.760><c> collapse</c><00:43:54.219><c> under</c><00:43:54.500><c> that</c><00:43:54.719><c> attack.</c>

00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:05.219
The<00:44:02.199><c> barbs</c><00:44:02.599><c> strike</c><00:44:03.179><c> right</c><00:44:03.539><c> in,</c><00:44:04.219><c> and</c><00:44:04.300><c> it</c><00:44:04.460><c> can</c><00:44:04.820><c> collapse</c><00:44:05.099><c> us.</c>

00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:08.199
And<00:44:05.360><c> I</c><00:44:05.480><c> felt</c><00:44:05.659><c> like</c><00:44:05.940><c> that,</c><00:44:06.579><c> and</c><00:44:06.679><c> we</c><00:44:06.820><c> feel</c><00:44:06.980><c> like</c><00:44:07.159><c> giving</c><00:44:07.420><c> up.</c>

00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:13.360
I<00:44:08.920><c> think</c><00:44:09.239><c> the</c><00:44:09.559><c> lesson</c><00:44:09.880><c> is,</c><00:44:10.699><c> as</c><00:44:10.920><c> we</c><00:44:11.119><c> see</c><00:44:11.340><c> with</c><00:44:11.559><c> our</c><00:44:11.719><c> Lord</c><00:44:11.920><c> Jesus</c><00:44:12.360><c> Christ,</c>

00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:17.179
it<00:44:13.780><c> was</c><00:44:14.300><c> not</c><00:44:15.199><c> Christ</c><00:44:16.000><c> who</c><00:44:16.280><c> they</c><00:44:16.599><c> crucified.</c>

00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:18.480
Yes,<00:44:17.480><c> it</c><00:44:17.619><c> was</c><00:44:17.920><c> Christ.</c>

00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:21.639
But<00:44:19.099><c> it</c><00:44:19.219><c> wasn't</c><00:44:19.639><c> really</c><00:44:20.440><c> the</c><00:44:20.800><c> Christ.</c>

00:44:22.260 --> 00:44:25.960
It's<00:44:22.739><c> who</c><00:44:23.000><c> they</c><00:44:23.360><c> thought</c><00:44:23.719><c> Christ</c><00:44:24.179><c> was</c><00:44:24.739><c> that</c><00:44:25.280><c> they</c><00:44:25.539><c> crucified,</c>

00:44:26.059 --> 00:44:26.659
wasn't<00:44:26.239><c> it?</c>

00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:28.800
They<00:44:27.179><c> perceived</c><00:44:27.880><c> Him</c><00:44:28.079><c> as</c><00:44:28.280><c> an</c><00:44:28.480><c> ogre.</c>

00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:30.760

00:44:31.099 --> 00:44:31.980
That<00:44:31.260><c> wasn't</c><00:44:31.579><c> Christ.</c>

00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:35.639
It<00:44:32.360><c> was</c><00:44:32.619><c> their</c><00:44:32.860><c> projection</c><00:44:33.360><c> of</c><00:44:33.559><c> the</c><00:44:33.679><c> Lord</c><00:44:33.840><c> Jesus</c><00:44:34.260><c> Christ.</c>

00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:43.760
And<00:44:40.300><c> so</c><00:44:40.519><c> therefore</c><00:44:40.880><c> Christ</c><00:44:41.340><c> could</c><00:44:41.579><c> say,</c><00:44:41.960><c> He</c><00:44:42.179><c> knew</c><00:44:42.300><c> that</c><00:44:42.440><c> it</c><00:44:42.539><c> wasn't</c><00:44:42.739><c> at</c><00:44:42.960><c> Him.</c>

00:44:43.900 --> 00:44:45.039
It<00:44:44.000><c> was</c><00:44:44.179><c> their</c><00:44:44.360><c> perception</c><00:44:44.820><c> of</c><00:44:44.980><c> Him.</c>

00:44:45.059 --> 00:44:46.960
So<00:44:45.199><c> He</c><00:44:45.340><c> could</c><00:44:45.539><c> now</c><00:44:45.800><c> say,</c><00:44:46.119><c> hanging</c><00:44:46.340><c> from</c><00:44:46.579><c> the</c><00:44:46.780><c> cross,</c>

Father,<00:44:47.820><c> forgive</c><00:44:48.219><c> them,</c><00:44:48.920><c> for</c><00:44:49.039><c> they</c><00:44:49.219><c> know</c><00:44:49.420><c> not</c><00:44:49.619><c> what</c><00:44:49.760><c> they</c><00:44:49.980><c> do.</c>

00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:54.519
And<00:44:51.059><c> we</c><00:44:51.199><c> see</c><00:44:51.300><c> that</c><00:44:51.440><c> beautiful</c><00:44:51.820><c> lesson,</c><00:44:52.159><c> say,</c><00:44:52.559><c> in</c><00:44:52.639><c> Titus</c><00:44:53.300><c> and</c><00:44:53.659><c> Paul,</c>

00:44:54.619 --> 00:44:55.719

00:44:56.019 --> 00:44:58.599
It<00:44:56.460><c> was</c><00:44:56.679><c> who</c><00:44:56.840><c> they</c><00:44:57.079><c> perceived</c><00:44:57.519><c> Titus</c><00:44:57.900><c> and</c><00:44:58.039><c> Paul</c><00:44:58.300><c> were,</c>

00:44:58.860 --> 00:45:00.659
and<00:44:58.960><c> so</c><00:44:59.039><c> they</c><00:44:59.159><c> could</c><00:44:59.360><c> turn</c><00:44:59.500><c> that</c><00:44:59.659><c> which</c><00:44:59.780><c> was</c><00:45:00.039><c> negative</c>

00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:08.300
And<00:45:05.739><c> so</c><00:45:05.840><c> as</c><00:45:05.980><c> I</c><00:45:06.199><c> mentioned</c><00:45:06.440><c> in</c><00:45:06.619><c> the</c><00:45:06.739><c> beginning</c><00:45:06.980><c> of</c><00:45:07.139><c> our</c><00:45:07.360><c> class,</c>

00:45:08.420 --> 00:45:11.699

00:45:22.420 --> 00:45:23.119
Think<00:45:22.619><c> about</c><00:45:22.880><c> this.</c>

00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:27.940
This<00:45:23.699><c> solitary</c><00:45:24.300><c> man,</c><00:45:25.559><c> but</c><00:45:25.699><c> he</c><00:45:26.059><c> depended</c><00:45:26.659><c> so</c><00:45:27.440><c> heavily</c>

00:49:49.980 --> 00:49:50.519
What<00:49:50.099><c> did</c><00:49:50.139><c> they</c><00:49:50.340><c> do?</c>

00:49:50.519 --> 00:49:55.000
They<00:49:50.780><c> bonded</c><00:49:51.360><c> together</c><00:49:52.239><c> and</c><00:49:53.099><c> strengthened</c><00:49:53.780><c> one</c><00:49:54.079><c> another.</c>

Beautiful<00:50:10.159><c> letter.</c>

00:50:10.659 --> 00:50:12.400
And<00:50:10.780><c> as</c><00:50:10.900><c> we</c><00:50:11.079><c> read</c><00:50:11.179><c> it</c><00:50:11.300><c> in</c><00:50:11.380><c> the</c><00:50:11.519><c> Acts,</c><00:50:11.760><c> it's</c><00:50:11.800><c> all</c><00:50:11.980><c> over,</c><00:50:12.260><c> Saul</c>

00:50:12.980 --> 00:50:14.079
Saul<00:50:13.199><c> didn't</c><00:50:13.420><c> do</c><00:50:13.559><c> anything</c><00:50:13.780><c> alone.</c>

00:50:14.420 --> 00:50:17.639
He<00:50:14.699><c> bonded</c><00:50:15.039><c> with</c><00:50:15.300><c> other</c><00:50:15.519><c> brethren</c><00:50:15.780><c> and</c><00:50:16.139><c> worked</c><00:50:16.380><c> together.</c>

00:50:18.579 --> 00:50:21.219
And<00:50:19.059><c> it's</c><00:50:19.539><c> something</c><00:50:19.820><c> which</c><00:50:20.059><c> it</c><00:50:20.199><c> seems</c><00:50:20.320><c> it</c><00:50:20.480><c> was</c><00:50:20.599><c> under</c><00:50:20.820><c> the</c><00:50:21.059><c> surface,</c>

00:50:21.260 --> 00:50:22.760
not<00:50:21.440><c> something</c><00:50:21.659><c> which</c><00:50:21.880><c> the</c><00:50:22.099><c> Ecclesia</c><00:50:22.400><c> decided,</c>

00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:24.039
let's<00:50:23.079><c> put</c><00:50:23.280><c> these</c><00:50:23.500><c> and</c><00:50:23.599><c> these</c><00:50:23.760><c> together.</c>

00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:25.940
It<00:50:24.159><c> was</c><00:50:24.360><c> something</c><00:50:24.619><c> that</c><00:50:24.780><c> they</c><00:50:25.000><c> did.</c>

00:50:26.780 --> 00:50:28.860
And<00:50:27.219><c> we</c><00:50:27.699><c> see</c><00:50:27.860><c> that</c><00:50:28.059><c> over</c><00:50:28.320><c> and</c><00:50:28.400><c> over</c><00:50:28.639><c> again.</c>

00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:32.480
And<00:50:29.039><c> it</c><00:50:29.179><c> takes</c><00:50:29.400><c> humility</c><00:50:30.099><c> to</c><00:50:31.199><c> accept</c><00:50:31.639><c> a</c><00:50:31.900><c> friend</c><00:50:32.019><c> like</c><00:50:32.340><c> that</c>

00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:33.880
for<00:50:32.659><c> what</c><00:50:32.840><c> they</c><00:50:33.099><c> are.</c>

00:50:34.179 --> 00:50:34.920
And<00:50:34.340><c> there</c><00:50:34.500><c> are</c><00:50:34.639><c> risks.</c>

00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:38.539
There<00:50:35.099><c> will</c><00:50:35.300><c> be</c><00:50:35.460><c> those</c><00:50:35.699><c> like</c><00:50:36.019><c> Demas</c><00:50:36.460><c> who</c><00:50:37.119><c> forsake</c><00:50:37.519><c> us.</c>

00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:45.099
But<00:50:39.340><c> what</c><00:50:39.659><c> benefits</c><00:50:40.139><c> can</c><00:50:40.460><c> come</c><00:50:40.760><c> out</c><00:50:41.000><c> of</c><00:50:42.260><c> a</c><00:50:42.380><c> relationship</c><00:50:42.880><c> like</c><00:50:44.199><c> this?</c>

00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:50.300
And<00:50:46.019><c> you</c><00:50:46.179><c> know,</c><00:50:46.340><c> we</c><00:50:46.460><c> live</c><00:50:46.679><c> in</c><00:50:46.860><c> a</c><00:50:47.539><c> very</c><00:50:48.159><c> busy</c><00:50:49.159><c> age</c>

00:51:02.380 --> 00:51:08.260

Amongst<00:51:08.699><c> us.</c>

00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:12.179
The<00:51:10.000><c> trouble</c><00:51:10.280><c> is</c><00:51:10.599><c> not</c><00:51:11.260><c> many</c><00:51:11.820><c> of</c><00:51:11.960><c> us,</c>

I'm<00:51:15.519><c> not.</c>

00:51:18.260 --> 00:51:22.820
But<00:51:18.900><c> when</c><00:51:19.539><c> we</c><00:51:19.800><c> build</c><00:51:20.059><c> relationships</c><00:51:20.920><c> that</c><00:51:21.719><c> are</c><00:51:22.099><c> affirmed</c><00:51:22.440><c> as</c><00:51:22.639><c> being</c>

00:52:40.739 --> 00:52:43.460

00:52:59.059 --> 00:53:00.820
Well,<00:52:59.059><c> let's</c><00:52:59.320><c> just</c><00:52:59.480><c> turn</c><00:52:59.619><c> back</c><00:52:59.820><c> if</c><00:52:59.940><c> you</c><00:53:00.059><c> don't</c><00:53:00.260><c> mind</c><00:53:00.420><c> to</c><00:53:00.639><c> Samuel.</c>

00:53:00.900 --> 00:53:01.980
It's<00:53:01.139><c> not</c><00:53:01.320><c> in</c><00:53:01.539><c> 2</c><00:53:01.639><c> Corinthians.</c>

00:53:02.119 --> 00:53:04.639
I<00:53:02.179><c> think</c><00:53:02.320><c> the</c><00:53:02.599><c> principle</c><00:53:02.940><c> is</c><00:53:03.219><c> so</c><00:53:03.480><c> strongly</c><00:53:03.820><c> there.</c>

00:53:04.900 --> 00:53:06.880
And<00:53:05.000><c> just</c><00:53:05.159><c> have</c><00:53:05.300><c> a</c><00:53:05.400><c> look</c><00:53:05.500><c> in</c><00:53:05.780><c> 1</c><00:53:06.019><c> Samuel</c><00:53:06.340><c> 18.</c>

00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:12.039
This<00:53:07.059><c> is,</c><00:53:07.239><c> you</c><00:53:07.239><c> know,</c><00:53:07.579><c> 17</c><00:53:07.980><c> is</c><00:53:08.260><c> the</c><00:53:09.320><c> story</c><00:53:09.880><c> of</c><00:53:10.199><c> David</c><00:53:10.559><c> and</c><00:53:10.800><c> Goliath.</c>

00:53:12.619 --> 00:53:17.639
And<00:53:12.860><c> then</c><00:53:13.119><c> almost</c><00:53:13.440><c> right</c><00:53:13.900><c> after</c><00:53:14.239><c> that,</c><00:53:15.519><c> we</c><00:53:15.639><c> have</c><00:53:15.980><c> now</c><00:53:16.719><c> David</c>

00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:20.639

00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:26.079
about<00:53:25.519><c> one</c><00:53:25.840><c> another.</c>

00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:27.420
They<00:53:26.320><c> are</c><00:53:26.599><c> kindred</c><00:53:27.099><c> spirits.</c>

00:53:27.420 --> 00:53:28.519
But<00:53:27.559><c> they</c><00:53:27.780><c> don't</c><00:53:27.900><c> just</c><00:53:28.119><c> say</c><00:53:28.300><c> hi.</c>

00:53:28.539 --> 00:53:30.340
This<00:53:28.679><c> is</c><00:53:28.840><c> really</c><00:53:29.059><c> good</c><00:53:29.199><c> to</c><00:53:29.360><c> be</c><00:53:29.559><c> friends.</c>

00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:31.599
What<00:53:30.500><c> do</c><00:53:30.639><c> they</c><00:53:30.800><c> do?</c>

00:53:31.800 --> 00:53:33.880
And<00:53:31.940><c> it</c><00:53:32.000><c> came</c><00:53:32.139><c> to</c><00:53:32.340><c> pass</c><00:53:32.559><c> when</c><00:53:32.739><c> he</c><00:53:32.900><c> had</c><00:53:33.019><c> made</c><00:53:33.179><c> an</c><00:53:33.320><c> end</c><00:53:33.460><c> of</c><00:53:33.679><c> speaking,</c>

that<00:53:37.840><c> the</c><00:53:38.219><c> soul</c><00:53:38.460><c> of</c><00:53:38.699><c> Jonathan</c><00:53:39.059><c> was</c><00:53:39.400><c> knit</c><00:53:39.619><c> with</c><00:53:39.820><c> the</c><00:53:40.000><c> soul</c><00:53:40.179><c> of</c><00:53:40.440><c> David.</c>

00:53:41.159 --> 00:53:43.460
And<00:53:41.460><c> Jonathan</c><00:53:41.820><c> loved</c><00:53:42.340><c> him</c><00:53:42.539><c> as</c><00:53:42.679><c> his</c><00:53:42.880><c> own</c><00:53:43.159><c> soul.</c>

00:53:43.900 --> 00:53:44.280
All<00:53:44.000><c> right?</c>

00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:45.960
That's<00:53:45.119><c> fine.</c>

00:53:46.019 --> 00:53:47.780
Saul<00:53:46.219><c> took</c><00:53:46.440><c> him</c><00:53:46.579><c> that</c><00:53:46.780><c> day</c><00:53:47.019><c> and</c><00:53:47.139><c> would</c><00:53:47.300><c> not</c><00:53:47.400><c> let</c><00:53:47.500><c> him</c><00:53:47.619><c> go</c>

00:53:47.780 --> 00:53:48.880
anymore<00:53:48.079><c> to</c><00:53:48.239><c> his</c><00:53:48.340><c> father's</c><00:53:48.699><c> house.</c>

00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:54.760
Then<00:53:49.460><c> Jonathan</c><00:53:50.059><c> and</c><00:53:50.159><c> David,</c><00:53:51.119><c> see</c><00:53:51.380><c> that,</c><00:53:52.159><c> made</c><00:53:52.800><c> a</c><00:53:53.860><c> covenant.</c>

00:53:55.059 --> 00:53:58.300
A<00:53:55.500><c> covenant</c><00:53:55.940><c> in</c><00:53:56.380><c> their</c><00:53:56.659><c> relationship</c><00:53:57.199><c> before</c><00:53:57.659><c> God</c>

00:53:58.300 --> 00:54:00.199
because<00:53:58.820><c> he</c><00:53:59.000><c> loved</c><00:53:59.280><c> him</c><00:53:59.460><c> as</c><00:53:59.579><c> his</c><00:53:59.699><c> own</c><00:53:59.960><c> soul</c>

00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:01.840
and<00:54:00.420><c> Jonathan</c><00:54:00.739><c> stripped</c><00:54:00.980><c> his</c><00:54:01.179><c> robe</c><00:54:01.340><c> and</c><00:54:01.519><c> so</c><00:54:01.679><c> on.</c>

00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:03.219
And<00:54:01.880><c> you</c><00:54:01.980><c> know</c><00:54:02.159><c> the</c><00:54:02.340><c> story.</c>

00:54:03.460 --> 00:54:05.460
But<00:54:03.460><c> if</c><00:54:03.599><c> you</c><00:54:03.679><c> flip</c><00:54:03.880><c> over</c><00:54:04.099><c> to</c><00:54:04.239><c> chapter</c><00:54:04.500><c> 20,</c>

00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:08.079
and<00:54:05.820><c> I'm</c><00:54:05.920><c> going</c><00:54:05.980><c> to</c><00:54:06.039><c> read</c><00:54:06.199><c> you</c><00:54:06.340><c> now</c><00:54:06.539><c> from</c><00:54:06.780><c> the</c><00:54:07.139><c> NIV.</c>

00:54:10.260 --> 00:54:13.219
And<00:54:10.340><c> this</c><00:54:10.539><c> really</c><00:54:10.800><c> struck</c><00:54:11.039><c> me</c><00:54:11.260><c> that,</c><00:54:12.480><c> again,</c><00:54:12.659><c> this</c><00:54:12.840><c> is</c><00:54:13.000><c> happening.</c>

00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:16.300
In<00:54:13.420><c> verse</c><00:54:13.679><c> 17,</c><00:54:14.480><c> now</c><00:54:14.760><c> trouble</c><00:54:15.059><c> is</c><00:54:15.400><c> struck.</c>

00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:22.960
And<00:54:17.639><c> the</c><00:54:17.820><c> NIV</c><00:54:18.159><c> says,</c><00:54:18.639><c> and</c><00:54:18.760><c> Jonathan</c><00:54:19.460><c> had</c><00:54:20.219><c> David</c><00:54:21.079><c> reaffirm</c><00:54:22.380><c> his</c><00:54:22.739><c> oath.</c>

00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.559
So<00:54:23.239><c> it</c><00:54:23.320><c> wasn't</c><00:54:23.559><c> just</c><00:54:23.800><c> that</c><00:54:23.920><c> they</c><00:54:24.019><c> made</c><00:54:24.239><c> a</c><00:54:24.440><c> covenant</c><00:54:24.679><c> to</c><00:54:24.940><c> work</c><00:54:25.179><c> together</c>

00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:27.059
in<00:54:25.719><c> the</c><00:54:25.860><c> service</c><00:54:26.059><c> of</c><00:54:26.239><c> God.</c>

00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:29.559
But<00:54:27.619><c> when</c><00:54:28.000><c> trouble</c><00:54:28.300><c> came,</c><00:54:28.599><c> they</c><00:54:28.860><c> reaffirmed</c><00:54:29.420><c> it.</c>

00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:31.500
And<00:54:29.679><c> if</c><00:54:29.739><c> you</c><00:54:29.860><c> were</c><00:54:30.000><c> to</c><00:54:30.139><c> turn</c><00:54:30.260><c> to</c><00:54:30.380><c> chapter</c><00:54:30.579><c> 23,</c><00:54:31.099><c> verse</c><00:54:31.340><c> 18,</c>

00:54:31.519 --> 00:54:33.559
you'd<00:54:31.820><c> find</c><00:54:31.980><c> out</c><00:54:32.139><c> that</c><00:54:32.239><c> he</c><00:54:32.320><c> goes</c><00:54:32.579><c> and</c><00:54:32.699><c> does</c><00:54:32.900><c> it</c><00:54:33.139><c> again.</c>

00:54:34.059 --> 00:54:36.300
He<00:54:34.239><c> makes</c><00:54:34.500><c> a</c><00:54:34.699><c> reaffirmation</c><00:54:35.260><c> of</c><00:54:35.420><c> that</c><00:54:35.559><c> love.</c>

00:54:37.300 --> 00:54:43.199
And<00:54:37.780><c> so</c><00:54:38.260><c> let's</c><00:54:38.980><c> not</c><00:54:39.420><c> let</c><00:54:39.860><c> our</c><00:54:40.599><c> reserve,</c><00:54:41.860><c> our</c><00:54:42.219><c> pride,</c>

00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:45.960
get<00:54:43.659><c> in</c><00:54:43.860><c> the</c><00:54:43.960><c> way</c><00:54:44.059><c> of</c><00:54:44.239><c> that</c><00:54:44.500><c> sort</c><00:54:44.699><c> of</c><00:54:45.019><c> strength</c>

00:54:46.059 --> 00:54:51.820
that<00:54:46.539><c> could</c><00:54:46.860><c> make</c><00:54:47.420><c> Paul</c><00:54:48.380><c> and</c><00:54:49.059><c> Titus,</c><00:54:50.420><c> David</c><00:54:51.000><c> and</c><00:54:51.420><c> Jonathan.</c>

00:54:51.820 --> 00:54:54.900
And<00:54:51.960><c> again,</c><00:54:52.679><c> Jonathan</c><00:54:52.980><c> was</c><00:54:53.400><c> at</c><00:54:53.639><c> least</c><00:54:53.940><c> double</c><00:54:54.239><c> David's</c><00:54:54.739><c> age.</c>

00:54:54.960 --> 00:54:57.719
He<00:54:55.059><c> was</c><00:54:55.440><c> old</c><00:54:55.679><c> enough</c><00:54:55.880><c> to</c><00:54:56.019><c> be</c><00:54:56.199><c> his</c><00:54:56.480><c> father,</c><00:54:56.780><c> maybe</c><00:54:57.079><c> even</c><00:54:57.380><c> more.</c>

00:54:58.099 --> 00:55:00.599
And<00:54:58.320><c> so</c><00:54:58.420><c> the</c><00:54:58.619><c> relationship</c><00:54:59.059><c> again</c><00:54:59.360><c> is</c><00:54:59.579><c> so</c><00:54:59.880><c> similar,</c><00:55:00.320><c> isn't</c><00:55:00.440><c> it?</c>

00:55:00.619 --> 00:55:03.280
Except<00:55:00.900><c> in</c><00:55:01.059><c> this</c><00:55:01.219><c> case,</c><00:55:01.400><c> David</c><00:55:01.739><c> was</c><00:55:01.960><c> the</c><00:55:02.179><c> younger</c><00:55:02.400><c> party.</c>

00:55:03.619 --> 00:55:06.920
But<00:55:03.840><c> look</c><00:55:04.059><c> what</c><00:55:04.440><c> good</c><00:55:04.739><c> these</c><00:55:05.139><c> brethren</c><00:55:05.480><c> did</c><00:55:05.800><c> and</c><00:55:05.980><c> what</c><00:55:06.119><c> an</c><00:55:06.300><c> inspiration</c>

00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:10.500
because<00:55:07.260><c> they</c><00:55:07.840><c> took</c><00:55:08.219><c> the</c><00:55:08.559><c> time</c><00:55:08.900><c> and</c><00:55:09.619><c> affirmed</c><00:55:10.019><c> their</c><00:55:10.300><c> love</c>

00:55:10.500 --> 00:55:11.719
in<00:55:10.679><c> the</c><00:55:10.920><c> service</c><00:55:11.059><c> of</c><00:55:11.219><c> the</c><00:55:11.460><c> truth.</c>

00:55:11.880 --> 00:55:14.199
And<00:55:12.079><c> maybe</c><00:55:12.239><c> for</c><00:55:12.440><c> us</c><00:55:12.599><c> brethren</c><00:55:12.860><c> it's</c><00:55:13.039><c> to</c><00:55:13.159><c> just,</c><00:55:13.780><c> in</c><00:55:14.039><c> fact,</c>

00:55:14.239 --> 00:55:16.719
if<00:55:14.400><c> I</c><00:55:14.519><c> could</c><00:55:14.599><c> just</c><00:55:14.820><c> mention,</c><00:55:15.659><c> I</c><00:55:15.920><c> first</c><00:55:16.139><c> started</c><00:55:16.420><c> thinking</c>

00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:17.400
about<00:55:17.019><c> this</c>

00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:21.320
because<00:55:18.039><c> a</c><00:55:18.420><c> brother</c><00:55:18.639><c> in,</c><00:55:19.239><c> of</c><00:55:19.440><c> all</c><00:55:19.679><c> places,</c><00:55:20.280><c> Canada,</c>

00:55:25.380 --> 00:55:27.619
one<00:55:25.619><c> of</c><00:55:25.760><c> the</c><00:55:25.920><c> best</c><00:55:26.119><c> things</c><00:55:26.340><c> that's</c><00:55:26.559><c> ever</c><00:55:26.840><c> happened</c><00:55:27.139><c> to</c><00:55:27.380><c> me</c>

00:55:27.619 --> 00:55:30.800
is<00:55:27.820><c> the</c><00:55:28.059><c> coming</c><00:55:28.280><c> of</c><00:55:28.699><c> Brother</c><00:55:28.920><c> so</c><00:55:29.219><c>-and</c><00:55:29.360><c>-so</c><00:55:29.460><c> to</c><00:55:29.639><c> this</c><00:55:29.820><c> area.</c>

00:55:31.460 --> 00:55:35.420
He<00:55:31.940><c> has</c><00:55:32.260><c> turned</c><00:55:32.659><c> my</c><00:55:33.039><c> life</c><00:55:33.360><c> around</c><00:55:33.860><c> and</c><00:55:34.119><c> we</c><00:55:34.280><c> have</c><00:55:34.480><c> made</c><00:55:34.760><c> a</c><00:55:35.119><c> covenant</c>

00:55:35.420 --> 00:55:38.039
together<00:55:36.199><c> in</c><00:55:36.480><c> the</c><00:55:36.780><c> service</c><00:55:37.000><c> of</c><00:55:37.199><c> the</c><00:55:37.340><c> Lord.</c>

00:55:38.119 --> 00:55:39.800
And<00:55:38.320><c> I</c><00:55:38.420><c> thought,</c><00:55:38.619><c> that's</c><00:55:38.760><c> a</c><00:55:38.860><c> little</c><00:55:39.019><c> odd.</c>

00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:41.039
But<00:55:40.260><c> the</c><00:55:40.519><c> weekend</c><00:55:40.719><c> went</c><00:55:40.940><c> on.</c>

00:55:41.159 --> 00:55:43.000
It<00:55:41.260><c> was</c><00:55:41.420><c> not</c><00:55:41.619><c> odd,</c><00:55:41.820><c> but</c><00:55:42.019><c> interesting.</c>

00:55:43.539 --> 00:55:45.380
What<00:55:43.699><c> was</c><00:55:43.960><c> interesting</c><00:55:44.340><c> was</c><00:55:44.559><c> as</c><00:55:44.760><c> I</c><00:55:44.960><c> was</c><00:55:45.139><c> there</c>

00:55:45.380 --> 00:55:47.800

00:55:48.519 --> 00:55:51.059
some<00:55:48.920><c> other</c><00:55:49.320><c> brethren</c><00:55:49.519><c> and</c><00:55:49.659><c> sisters</c><00:55:49.800><c> who</c><00:55:50.019><c> I</c><00:55:50.219><c> was</c><00:55:50.219><c> staying</c><00:55:50.440><c> with</c><00:55:50.599><c> said</c><00:55:50.800><c> to</c><00:55:50.940><c> me,</c>

00:55:51.219 --> 00:55:54.079
you<00:55:51.219><c> know,</c><00:55:52.099><c> there's</c><00:55:52.260><c> been</c><00:55:52.480><c> an</c><00:55:52.760><c> unbelievable</c><00:55:53.440><c> turnaround</c>

in<00:55:54.340><c> the</c><00:55:54.559><c> life</c><00:55:54.820><c> of</c><00:55:55.139><c> Brother</c><00:55:55.360><c> so</c><00:55:55.699><c>-and</c><00:55:55.940><c>-so.</c>

00:55:56.820 --> 00:56:00.059
For<00:55:57.119><c> years</c><00:55:57.539><c> and</c><00:55:57.739><c> years,</c><00:55:58.300><c> he's</c><00:55:58.559><c> very</c><00:55:58.960><c> intelligent,</c><00:55:59.460><c> very</c><00:55:59.800><c> bright,</c>

00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:01.559
but<00:56:00.219><c> he</c><00:56:00.300><c> was</c><00:56:00.440><c> just</c><00:56:00.659><c> kind</c><00:56:00.760><c> of</c><00:56:00.860><c> at</c><00:56:01.019><c> a</c><00:56:01.159><c> low</c><00:56:01.360><c> ebb.</c>

00:56:01.659 --> 00:56:03.219
He<00:56:01.800><c> kind</c><00:56:01.880><c> of</c><00:56:02.019><c> never</c><00:56:02.219><c> stopped.</c>

00:56:03.559 --> 00:56:05.300
And<00:56:03.699><c> he</c><00:56:03.739><c> says,</c><00:56:04.039><c> it</c><00:56:04.059><c> seems</c><00:56:04.199><c> in</c><00:56:04.420><c> the</c><00:56:04.519><c> last</c><00:56:04.780><c> year</c><00:56:04.980><c> or</c><00:56:05.179><c> so,</c>

00:56:05.420 --> 00:56:07.960
it's<00:56:05.539><c> kind</c><00:56:05.679><c> of</c><00:56:05.860><c> like</c><00:56:06.079><c> a</c><00:56:06.260><c> new</c><00:56:06.460><c> light</c><00:56:06.659><c> in</c><00:56:06.820><c> his</c><00:56:07.079><c> life.</c>

00:56:08.260 --> 00:56:10.260
And<00:56:08.460><c> they</c><00:56:08.599><c> didn't</c><00:56:08.760><c> know</c><00:56:08.900><c> what</c><00:56:09.099><c> I</c><00:56:09.440><c> knew,</c>

00:56:10.820 --> 00:56:13.960
that<00:56:11.139><c> this</c><00:56:11.619><c> brother</c><00:56:11.820><c> had</c><00:56:12.079><c> found</c><00:56:12.280><c> a</c><00:56:12.539><c> kindred</c><00:56:12.820><c> spirit</c><00:56:13.119><c> like</c><00:56:13.420><c> David.</c>

00:56:13.960 --> 00:56:16.000
But<00:56:14.619><c> he</c><00:56:14.760><c> not</c><00:56:14.880><c> only</c><00:56:15.099><c> just</c><00:56:15.420><c> found</c><00:56:15.679><c> it,</c>

00:56:16.059 --> 00:56:18.880
but<00:56:16.159><c> they</c><00:56:16.420><c> decided</c><00:56:16.880><c> to</c><00:56:17.099><c> make</c><00:56:17.300><c> a</c><00:56:17.559><c> bond,</c><00:56:17.920><c> to</c><00:56:18.000><c> serve</c><00:56:18.320><c> together</c>

00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:20.860
and<00:56:19.079><c> to</c><00:56:19.199><c> be</c><00:56:19.300><c> able</c><00:56:19.559><c> to</c><00:56:19.619><c> open</c><00:56:19.760><c> their</c><00:56:20.019><c> hearts</c><00:56:20.260><c> to</c><00:56:20.440><c> one</c><00:56:20.639><c> another</c>

00:56:20.860 --> 00:56:22.820
about<00:56:21.099><c> their</c><00:56:21.380><c> strengths</c><00:56:21.679><c> and</c><00:56:21.860><c> their</c><00:56:22.119><c> failings</c>

00:56:22.820 --> 00:56:26.940
and<00:56:23.300><c> really</c><00:56:24.639><c> have</c><00:56:25.099><c> turned</c><00:56:25.219><c> both</c><00:56:25.460><c> of</c><00:56:25.639><c> them</c><00:56:25.699><c> on</c><00:56:25.980><c> fire.</c>

00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:30.679
Unfortunately,<00:56:27.780><c> I</c><00:56:27.960><c> say,</c><00:56:28.940><c> let's</c><00:56:29.300><c> not</c><00:56:29.500><c> let</c><00:56:29.739><c> our</c><00:56:30.039><c> resolve</c><00:56:30.440><c> or</c>

00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:31.340
our<00:56:31.000><c> pride</c>

00:56:31.340 --> 00:56:34.039
get<00:56:31.960><c> in</c><00:56:32.159><c> the</c><00:56:32.260><c> way</c><00:56:32.380><c> of</c><00:56:32.539><c> that</c><00:56:32.800><c> sort</c><00:56:32.980><c> of</c><00:56:33.199><c> strength.</c>

00:56:34.139 --> 00:56:37.500
Paul<00:56:34.400><c> used</c><00:56:34.639><c> it,</c><00:56:35.300><c> David</c><00:56:35.599><c> used</c><00:56:35.900><c> it,</c><00:56:36.500><c> and</c><00:56:36.760><c> our</c><00:56:36.960><c> brethren</c><00:56:37.260><c> have</c>

00:56:37.500 --> 00:56:38.880
used<00:56:37.699><c> it.</c>

00:56:39.360 --> 00:56:41.960
I<00:56:39.519><c> could</c><00:56:39.639><c> give</c><00:56:39.760><c> you</c><00:56:39.880><c> other</c><00:56:40.019><c> examples,</c><00:56:40.420><c> but</c><00:56:40.559><c> we</c><00:56:40.739><c> won't.</c>

00:56:41.960 --> 00:56:45.320
So<00:56:42.619><c> let's</c><00:56:43.019><c> sum</c><00:56:43.199><c> up</c><00:56:43.380><c> our</c><00:56:43.559><c> thoughts</c><00:56:43.780><c> this</c><00:56:44.300><c> afternoon.</c>

00:56:47.099 --> 00:56:50.280
First<00:56:47.280><c> of</c><00:56:47.460><c> all,</c><00:56:47.800><c> remember</c><00:56:48.179><c> we</c><00:56:48.320><c> noted</c><00:56:48.599><c> that</c><00:56:48.940><c> even</c><00:56:49.179><c> the</c><00:56:49.400><c> most</c><00:56:49.679><c> talented</c>

00:56:50.280 --> 00:56:53.320
and<00:56:50.840><c> the</c><00:56:50.980><c> most</c><00:56:51.440><c> driven</c><00:56:51.920><c> individuals</c><00:56:52.599><c> amongst</c><00:56:53.039><c> us</c>

00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:57.400
are<00:56:53.519><c> sometimes</c><00:56:54.380><c> powerless</c><00:56:55.340><c> to</c><00:56:55.860><c> effect</c><00:56:56.260><c> real</c><00:56:56.800><c> change</c>

00:56:57.400 --> 00:56:59.119
in<00:56:57.940><c> a</c><00:56:58.159><c> difficult</c><00:56:58.500><c> situation.</c>

00:56:59.360 --> 00:57:00.880
We<00:56:59.360><c> saw</c><00:56:59.579><c> that.</c>

00:57:01.219 --> 00:57:05.340
Mediation,<00:57:01.920><c> then,</c><00:57:03.000><c> is</c><00:57:03.239><c> a</c><00:57:03.519><c> great</c><00:57:03.800><c> scriptural</c><00:57:04.320><c> principle.</c>

00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:10.679
He<00:57:05.840><c> sent</c><00:57:06.079><c> in</c><00:57:06.380><c> a</c><00:57:06.639><c> mediator</c><00:57:07.260><c> to</c><00:57:07.780><c> try</c><00:57:07.980><c> and</c><00:57:08.239><c> help</c><00:57:08.460><c> get</c><00:57:08.739><c> off</c><00:57:09.039><c> the</c><00:57:09.719><c> problem.</c>

00:57:11.280 --> 00:57:14.460
Secondly,<00:57:12.300><c> I'd</c><00:57:12.480><c> like</c><00:57:12.500><c> to</c><00:57:12.679><c> suggest</c><00:57:13.079><c> that</c><00:57:13.579><c> healing,</c>

00:57:15.219 --> 00:57:18.079
true<00:57:15.440><c> spiritual</c><00:57:15.960><c> healing,</c><00:57:16.400><c> takes</c><00:57:16.659><c> active</c><00:57:17.139><c> effort.</c>

00:57:18.340 --> 00:57:20.860
Sometimes<00:57:18.860><c> cool</c><00:57:19.320><c>-off</c><00:57:19.500><c> periods</c><00:57:19.980><c> are</c><00:57:20.360><c> required.</c>

00:57:20.940 --> 00:57:22.900
We<00:57:21.059><c> do</c><00:57:21.300><c> have</c><00:57:21.500><c> that</c><00:57:21.619><c> situation</c><00:57:22.019><c> like</c><00:57:22.219><c> 2</c><00:57:22.460><c> verse</c><00:57:22.699><c> 1</c>

00:57:22.900 --> 00:57:26.099
where<00:57:23.079><c> I</c><00:57:23.340><c> determined</c><00:57:23.679><c> not</c><00:57:23.920><c> to</c><00:57:24.079><c> come</c><00:57:24.219><c> again</c><00:57:24.440><c> to</c><00:57:24.599><c> you</c><00:57:25.199><c> in</c><00:57:25.579><c> this</c><00:57:25.820><c> way,</c>

00:57:26.239 --> 00:57:27.679
you<00:57:26.239><c> know,</c><00:57:26.360><c> have</c><00:57:26.519><c> such</c><00:57:26.780><c> a</c><00:57:27.019><c> disastrous</c><00:57:27.340><c> visit,</c>

00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:29.860
and<00:57:28.059><c> there</c><00:57:28.159><c> was</c><00:57:28.300><c> a</c><00:57:28.500><c> cool</c><00:57:28.679><c>-off</c><00:57:28.840><c> period.</c>

00:57:30.659 --> 00:57:33.139
But<00:57:31.179><c> procrastination</c><00:57:31.699><c> is</c><00:57:32.199><c> deadly.</c>

00:57:33.539 --> 00:57:37.599
Paul<00:57:33.840><c> tried</c><00:57:34.340><c> and</c><00:57:34.760><c> failed,</c><00:57:35.460><c> but</c><00:57:35.599><c> then</c><00:57:35.760><c> he</c><00:57:35.940><c> tried</c><00:57:36.099><c> again</c><00:57:36.460><c> another</c><00:57:36.719><c> way.</c>

00:57:39.139 --> 00:57:42.260
We<00:57:39.619><c> also</c><00:57:40.039><c> have</c><00:57:40.280><c> covered</c><00:57:40.440><c> the</c><00:57:40.639><c> fact</c><00:57:40.739><c> that</c><00:57:40.920><c> even</c><00:57:41.139><c> a</c><00:57:41.460><c> pillar</c><00:57:41.760><c> of</c><00:57:42.059><c> strength</c>

00:57:42.260 --> 00:57:44.820
like<00:57:42.539><c> Paul</c><00:57:42.880><c> sought</c><00:57:43.139><c> out</c><00:57:43.340><c> those</c><00:57:43.679><c> relationships,</c>

00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:47.960
that<00:57:45.139><c> we</c><00:57:45.320><c> as</c><00:57:45.679><c> males</c><00:57:46.139><c> seem</c><00:57:46.599><c> to</c><00:57:46.760><c> have</c><00:57:46.900><c> more</c><00:57:47.119><c> of</c><00:57:47.280><c> a</c><00:57:47.360><c> problem</c><00:57:47.599><c> with</c><00:57:47.780><c> that</c>

00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:49.420

and<00:57:51.139><c> that</c><00:57:51.599><c> some</c><00:57:51.780><c> of</c><00:57:52.000><c> the</c><00:57:52.320><c> great</c><00:57:52.539><c> things</c><00:57:52.860><c> that</c><00:57:53.000><c> have</c><00:57:53.199><c> happened</c>

00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:56.619
in<00:57:54.039><c> ecclesial</c><00:57:54.440><c> life</c><00:57:54.760><c> have</c><00:57:55.039><c> happened</c><00:57:55.340><c> simply</c><00:57:55.820><c> because</c><00:57:56.239><c> of</c><00:57:56.420><c> that</c>

00:57:56.619 --> 00:57:59.119
bonding<00:57:56.900><c> together</c><00:57:57.340><c> in</c><00:57:57.519><c> the</c><00:57:57.760><c> service</c><00:57:58.019><c> of</c><00:57:58.260><c> God.</c>

00:58:00.099 --> 00:58:02.199
But<00:58:00.219><c> then</c><00:58:00.300><c> when</c><00:58:00.440><c> we</c><00:58:00.599><c> take</c><00:58:00.739><c> it</c><00:58:00.920><c> one</c><00:58:01.099><c> further,</c>

00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:05.039
