00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:58.440
Abraham.

00:14:58.940 --> 00:15:01.740
We're<00:14:59.080><c> speaking</c><00:14:59.340><c> of</c><00:14:59.539><c> that</c><00:14:59.799><c> covenant</c><00:15:00.179><c> that</c><00:15:00.759><c> was</c><00:15:01.080><c> there</c><00:15:01.360><c> in</c><00:15:01.539><c> the</c>

it<00:15:08.899><c> says,</c>

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:11.600
And<00:15:09.259><c> the</c><00:15:09.299><c> scripture,</c><00:15:09.820><c> foreseeing</c><00:15:10.440><c> that</c><00:15:10.559><c> God</c><00:15:10.860><c> would</c><00:15:11.100><c> justify</c>

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.480

00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:21.120
That<00:15:19.039><c> was</c><00:15:19.259><c> the</c><00:15:19.480><c> New</c><00:15:19.700><c> Testament,</c><00:15:20.259><c> wasn't</c><00:15:20.480><c> it?</c>

00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.059
That<00:15:21.519><c> was</c><00:15:21.720><c> the</c><00:15:21.899><c> New</c><00:15:22.100><c> Covenant.</c>

00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:29.580
It<00:15:23.500><c> had</c><00:15:23.759><c> come</c><00:15:24.019><c> into</c><00:15:24.360><c> unuse</c><00:15:25.419><c> because</c><00:15:27.379><c> of</c><00:15:27.539><c> the</c><00:15:27.679><c> children</c><00:15:27.899><c> of</c><00:15:28.059><c> Israel,</c><00:15:29.059><c> and</c>

00:15:29.580 --> 00:15:32.279
Christ<00:15:30.019><c> brought</c><00:15:30.379><c> it</c><00:15:30.620><c> out</c><00:15:31.179><c> and</c><00:15:31.740><c> made</c>

00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.860

00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:39.320
So<00:15:36.679><c> even</c><00:15:36.940><c> the</c><00:15:37.100><c> word</c><00:15:37.340><c> New</c><00:15:37.720><c> Testament</c><00:15:38.200><c> doesn't</c><00:15:38.580><c> really</c><00:15:38.980><c> tell</c><00:15:39.139><c> us</c>

00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.379
It's<00:15:41.100><c> something</c><00:15:41.360><c> that's</c><00:15:41.600><c> been</c><00:15:41.759><c> there</c><00:15:41.960><c> all</c><00:15:42.179><c> along,</c><00:15:42.679><c> and</c><00:15:43.200><c> now</c>

00:15:43.379 --> 00:15:44.879
we're<00:15:43.539><c> bringing</c><00:15:43.759><c> it</c><00:15:44.000><c> back</c><00:15:44.139><c> into</c><00:15:44.480><c> force</c>

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:46.360
and<00:15:45.259><c> into</c><00:15:45.500><c> use.</c>

00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:49.559
The<00:15:46.980><c> gospel</c><00:15:47.480><c> is</c><00:15:47.700><c> the</c><00:15:47.940><c> glad</c><00:15:48.259><c> tidings</c><00:15:48.559><c> of</c><00:15:48.779><c> the</c><00:15:48.940><c> Kingdom</c><00:15:49.139><c> of</c><00:15:49.379><c> God</c>

00:15:52.299 --> 00:15:54.740
That<00:15:52.600><c> gospel</c><00:15:53.000><c> was</c><00:15:53.279><c> preached</c><00:15:53.559><c> to</c><00:15:53.799><c> Abraham.</c>

00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.659
The<00:15:55.679><c> everlasting</c><00:15:56.139><c> covenant</c><00:15:56.519><c> then</c><00:15:56.700><c> was</c><00:15:56.899><c> already</c><00:15:57.200><c> in</c><00:15:57.460><c> existence</c><00:15:57.759><c> when</c><00:15:58.019><c> Christ</c><00:15:58.360><c> arrived,</c><00:15:59.399><c> and</c>

00:15:59.659 --> 00:16:00.539
his<00:16:00.139><c> arrival</c>

00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:03.440
merely<00:16:00.960><c> revived</c><00:16:01.480><c> to</c><00:16:01.679><c> the</c><00:16:01.799><c> people</c><00:16:02.279><c> something</c><00:16:02.899><c> that</c><00:16:03.039><c> they</c><00:16:03.240><c> had</c>

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.279
Now<00:16:06.759><c> we</c><00:16:07.080><c> spent</c><00:16:07.379><c> this</c><00:16:07.620><c> time</c><00:16:07.860><c> introducing</c><00:16:08.379><c> this</c><00:16:08.720><c> perspective</c>

00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:13.179
because<00:16:10.100><c> we</c><00:16:10.500><c> see</c><00:16:10.779><c> that</c><00:16:11.120><c> Paul</c><00:16:11.440><c> very</c><00:16:12.039><c> much</c><00:16:12.480><c> utilizes</c>

00:16:13.179 --> 00:16:15.559
this<00:16:13.440><c> principle</c><00:16:13.940><c> as</c><00:16:14.500><c> he</c><00:16:14.700><c> writes</c><00:16:14.879><c> to</c><00:16:15.080><c> the</c><00:16:15.240><c> Romans.</c>

00:16:16.019 --> 00:16:20.820
He<00:16:16.200><c> makes</c><00:16:16.600><c> frequent</c><00:16:17.340><c> mention</c><00:16:17.700><c> and</c><00:16:17.899><c> he</c><00:16:17.980><c> makes</c><00:16:18.200><c> frequent</c><00:16:18.779><c> allusions</c><00:16:19.539><c> to</c><00:16:20.019><c> the</c><00:16:20.259><c> teachings</c><00:16:20.600><c> of</c>

the<00:16:21.019><c> Old</c><00:16:21.379><c> Testament</c>

00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.600

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.700
We<00:16:30.039><c> noticed</c><00:16:30.320><c> that</c><00:16:30.519><c> there</c><00:16:30.600><c> were</c><00:16:31.259><c> some</c><00:16:31.620><c> Jews</c><00:16:31.840><c> in</c><00:16:32.039><c> Jerusalem</c><00:16:32.519><c> on</c>

the<00:16:32.779><c> day</c><00:16:32.919><c> of</c><00:16:33.120><c> Pentecost.</c>

00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.519
They<00:16:34.539><c> heard</c><00:16:34.779><c> the</c><00:16:35.080><c> truth</c><00:16:35.240><c> being</c><00:16:35.519><c> taught</c><00:16:35.820><c> and</c><00:16:35.960><c> they</c><00:16:36.059><c> were</c><00:16:36.320><c> converted,</c><00:16:37.399><c> and</c>

00:16:42.179 --> 00:16:45.620

00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.980
We<00:21:18.099><c> think</c><00:21:18.299><c> about</c><00:21:18.519><c> the</c><00:21:18.980><c> sacrifices</c><00:21:19.720><c> that</c><00:21:20.400><c> were</c><00:21:20.460><c> under</c><00:21:20.660><c> the</c><00:21:20.880><c> law.</c>

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.920

00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:34.799

a<00:21:34.900><c> living</c><00:21:35.119><c> sacrifice,</c><00:21:35.839><c> and</c><00:21:35.960><c> we'll</c>

00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:37.440

00:21:38.539 --> 00:21:43.539
The<00:21:38.779><c> first</c><00:21:39.099><c> we</c><00:21:39.599><c> believe</c><00:21:39.980><c> is</c><00:21:41.180><c> the</c><00:21:41.559><c> reference</c><00:21:41.759><c> to</c><00:21:41.980><c> the</c><00:21:42.240><c> sacrifices</c><00:21:42.599><c> under</c><00:21:42.900><c> the</c><00:21:43.099><c> law,</c><00:21:43.339><c> as</c>

I'll<00:30:42.420><c> get</c><00:30:42.559><c> my</c><00:30:42.759><c> notes</c><00:30:42.940><c> straight</c><00:30:43.140><c> here.</c>

00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:44.400
Yeah.

00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:44.980
So<00:30:44.980><c> this</c><00:30:44.980><c> is</c><00:30:44.980><c> the</c><00:30:44.980><c> second</c><00:30:44.980><c> reference.</c>

00:30:44.980 --> 00:30:47.500
He's<00:30:45.440><c> talking</c><00:30:45.720><c> about</c><00:30:45.960><c> this</c><00:30:46.440><c> reasonable</c><00:30:47.039><c> service.</c>

00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:51.559
Now,<00:30:48.079><c> this</c><00:30:48.359><c> in</c><00:30:48.599><c> the</c><00:30:48.839><c> English</c><00:30:49.180><c> leads</c><00:30:49.539><c> us</c><00:30:49.859><c> astray</c><00:30:50.119><c> a</c><00:30:50.180><c> little</c><00:30:50.460><c> bit,</c><00:30:51.119><c> because</c><00:30:51.259><c> when</c><00:30:51.400><c> we</c>

00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:52.420
think<00:30:51.680><c> of</c><00:30:51.819><c> a</c><00:30:52.079><c> reasonable</c>

00:30:52.420 --> 00:30:54.559
service,<00:30:53.140><c> we</c><00:30:53.279><c> kind</c><00:30:53.480><c> of</c><00:30:53.559><c> get</c><00:30:53.660><c> the</c><00:30:53.920><c> wrong</c><00:30:54.180><c> idea.</c>

00:30:54.740 --> 00:30:57.500
It<00:30:54.759><c> doesn't</c><00:30:55.119><c> mean,</c><00:30:56.039><c> well,</c><00:30:56.240><c> this</c><00:30:56.519><c> is</c><00:30:56.660><c> the</c><00:30:56.859><c> reasonable</c><00:30:57.220><c> thing</c>

00:30:57.500 --> 00:30:57.859
to<00:30:57.740><c> do.</c>

00:30:57.859 --> 00:30:58.420
That's<00:30:58.200><c> nice.</c>

00:30:58.420 --> 00:30:59.779
That's<00:30:58.579><c> what</c><00:30:58.680><c> we</c><00:30:58.819><c> ought</c><00:30:58.920><c> to</c><00:30:59.000><c> do,</c><00:30:59.160><c> because</c><00:30:59.259><c> it's</c><00:30:59.500><c> reasonable.</c>

00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:03.400
That's<00:31:00.119><c> not</c><00:31:00.660><c> what</c><00:31:00.819><c> this</c><00:31:01.099><c> word</c><00:31:01.259><c> means</c><00:31:01.819><c> in</c><00:31:02.460><c> the</c><00:31:02.680><c> Greek.</c>

00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.640
It<00:31:03.940><c> would</c><00:31:04.099><c> be</c><00:31:04.279><c> kind</c><00:31:04.440><c> of</c><00:31:04.619><c> like</c><00:31:05.039><c> that</c><00:31:05.559><c> kind</c><00:31:05.940><c> of</c><00:31:06.299><c> a</c><00:31:06.440><c> reasonable</c><00:31:06.940><c> service</c><00:31:07.319><c> would</c><00:31:07.460><c> be</c>

00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:09.599
like<00:31:07.799><c> if</c><00:31:07.920><c> I</c><00:31:08.180><c> asked</c><00:31:08.339><c> you</c><00:31:08.619><c> to</c><00:31:09.319><c> stop</c>

00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.299
by<00:31:09.839><c> the</c><00:31:10.059><c> hardware</c><00:31:10.420><c> store</c><00:31:10.660><c> on</c><00:31:10.859><c> your</c><00:31:10.980><c> way</c><00:31:11.140><c> to</c><00:31:11.339><c> the</c><00:31:11.519><c> market</c><00:31:11.880><c> and</c>

00:31:12.299 --> 00:31:13.700
pick<00:31:12.420><c> up</c><00:31:12.579><c> some</c><00:31:12.779><c> nuts</c><00:31:12.960><c> and</c><00:31:13.140><c> bolts</c><00:31:13.279><c> for</c><00:31:13.460><c> me</c><00:31:13.579><c> to</c>

00:31:13.700 --> 00:31:14.160
do<00:31:13.819><c> a</c><00:31:13.900><c> job.</c>

00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:15.500
You<00:31:14.359><c> say,</c><00:31:14.759><c> oh,</c><00:31:14.920><c> that's</c><00:31:15.180><c> reasonable.</c>

00:31:15.500 --> 00:31:16.259
I'll<00:31:15.720><c> do</c><00:31:15.920><c> that.</c>

00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:17.839
And<00:31:16.779><c> that's</c><00:31:16.940><c> not</c><00:31:17.059><c> what</c><00:31:17.160><c> this</c><00:31:17.400><c> means.</c>

00:31:18.019 --> 00:31:19.299
That's<00:31:18.240><c> not</c><00:31:18.359><c> what</c><00:31:18.480><c> this</c><00:31:18.720><c> word</c><00:31:18.880><c> means.</c>

00:31:19.779 --> 00:31:25.160
This<00:31:20.059><c> is</c><00:31:20.279><c> more</c><00:31:20.519><c> like</c><00:31:21.619><c> me</c><00:31:22.039><c> being</c><00:31:22.319><c> asked</c><00:31:22.700><c> by</c><00:31:22.940><c> my</c><00:31:23.259><c> employer</c><00:31:23.900><c> to</c><00:31:24.720><c> take</c><00:31:24.920><c> a</c>

00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:27.779
job<00:31:25.680><c> in</c><00:31:26.160><c> another</c><00:31:26.380><c> part</c><00:31:26.619><c> of</c><00:31:26.759><c> the</c><00:31:26.940><c> world.</c>

00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:29.539
And<00:31:28.480><c> now</c><00:31:28.700><c> we</c><00:31:28.779><c> have</c><00:31:28.940><c> to</c><00:31:29.119><c> think</c><00:31:29.279><c> it</c><00:31:29.440><c> through.</c>

00:31:29.579 --> 00:31:30.720
There's<00:31:29.799><c> an</c><00:31:29.940><c> ekklesia</c><00:31:30.299><c> there.</c>

00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:32.299
Well,<00:31:31.160><c> that's</c><00:31:31.420><c> good.</c>

00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:34.079
It<00:31:32.940><c> would</c><00:31:33.000><c> be</c><00:31:33.099><c> a</c><00:31:33.240><c> promotion</c><00:31:33.619><c> for</c><00:31:33.880><c> me.</c>

00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:35.420
Well,<00:31:34.200><c> that's</c><00:31:34.500><c> fine.</c>

00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:37.359
But<00:31:35.859><c> now</c><00:31:36.019><c> I</c><00:31:36.039><c> have</c><00:31:36.180><c> to</c><00:31:36.319><c> think</c><00:31:36.519><c> through</c><00:31:36.759><c> whether</c><00:31:36.880><c> or</c><00:31:36.920><c> not</c><00:31:37.099><c> that's</c>

00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:38.480
the<00:31:37.539><c> right</c><00:31:37.740><c> thing</c><00:31:37.920><c> to</c><00:31:38.099><c> do,</c><00:31:38.240><c> because</c>

00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.180
I'm<00:31:38.799><c> involved</c><00:31:39.140><c> in</c><00:31:39.279><c> the</c><00:31:39.460><c> ekklesia</c><00:31:39.740><c> that</c><00:31:39.920><c> I</c><00:31:40.099><c> have.</c>

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:41.559
Now<00:31:40.440><c> we</c><00:31:40.539><c> have</c><00:31:40.680><c> to</c><00:31:40.799><c> make</c><00:31:40.920><c> a</c><00:31:41.160><c> decision.</c>

00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:43.740
We<00:31:41.960><c> have</c><00:31:42.079><c> to</c><00:31:42.180><c> think</c><00:31:42.400><c> things</c><00:31:42.700><c> through.</c>

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:48.539
Is<00:31:43.880><c> this</c><00:31:44.200><c> reasonable</c><00:31:44.839><c> for</c><00:31:45.160><c> me</c><00:31:45.500><c> to</c><00:31:46.299><c> move</c><00:31:46.619><c> over</c><00:31:46.920><c> there</c><00:31:47.440><c> or</c><00:31:48.220><c> not</c>

00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:50.059
to<00:31:48.740><c> move</c><00:31:48.900><c> over</c><00:31:49.140><c> there?</c>

00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:51.339
Why<00:31:50.700><c> am</c><00:31:50.880><c> I</c><00:31:50.960><c> doing</c><00:31:51.160><c> it?</c>

00:31:51.380 --> 00:31:53.619
And<00:31:51.460><c> we</c><00:31:51.640><c> ask</c><00:31:51.839><c> all</c><00:31:52.000><c> these</c><00:31:52.180><c> questions</c><00:31:52.480><c> of</c><00:31:52.680><c> ourselves.</c>

00:31:54.980 --> 00:31:57.539
Then<00:31:55.500><c> we</c><00:31:55.740><c> use</c><00:31:55.960><c> the</c><00:31:56.279><c> process</c><00:31:56.680><c> of</c><00:31:57.099><c> logic.</c>

00:31:57.700 --> 00:32:01.539
We<00:31:57.880><c> use</c><00:31:58.099><c> the</c><00:31:58.380><c> process</c><00:31:58.779><c> of</c><00:31:59.180><c> reason</c><00:31:59.640><c> to</c><00:32:00.140><c> try</c><00:32:00.380><c> to</c><00:32:00.619><c> figure</c><00:32:00.819><c> out</c><00:32:01.119><c> which</c><00:32:01.319><c> is</c>

00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:02.500
the<00:32:01.700><c> best</c><00:32:01.920><c> thing</c><00:32:02.119><c> to</c><00:32:02.339><c> do.</c>

00:32:02.819 --> 00:32:07.440
This<00:32:03.059><c> is</c><00:32:03.200><c> what</c><00:32:03.339><c> this</c><00:32:03.619><c> word</c><00:32:03.740><c> means</c><00:32:04.099><c> in</c><00:32:05.519><c> the</c><00:32:06.500><c> original</c><00:32:07.059><c> Greek.</c>

00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:11.859
It<00:32:08.000><c> means</c><00:32:08.319><c> that</c><00:32:08.619><c> which</c><00:32:08.859><c> comes</c><00:32:09.279><c> through</c><00:32:09.539><c> the</c><00:32:09.819><c> process</c><00:32:10.380><c> of</c><00:32:10.839><c> figuring</c><00:32:11.160><c> things</c><00:32:11.519><c> out,</c>

00:32:12.259 --> 00:32:14.700
of<00:32:12.400><c> logic,</c><00:32:13.079><c> of</c><00:32:13.319><c> reasoning</c><00:32:13.640><c> things.</c>

00:32:14.740 --> 00:32:16.799
Not<00:32:14.960><c> that</c><00:32:15.079><c> it's</c><00:32:15.319><c> reasonable,</c><00:32:15.700><c> but</c><00:32:15.859><c> it's</c><00:32:16.160><c> a</c><00:32:16.279><c> service</c><00:32:16.539><c> that</c>

00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:20.140
comes<00:32:17.099><c> through</c><00:32:18.000><c> reasoning,</c><00:32:19.200><c> through</c><00:32:19.500><c> logic,</c>

00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:22.619
through<00:32:20.880><c> thinking</c><00:32:21.240><c> things</c><00:32:21.640><c> through.</c>

00:32:23.339 --> 00:32:26.019
That<00:32:23.559><c> when</c><00:32:23.700><c> we</c><00:32:23.980><c> heed</c><00:32:24.160><c> the</c><00:32:24.460><c> commandments</c><00:32:24.779><c> of</c><00:32:25.059><c> Christ</c><00:32:25.440><c> and</c><00:32:25.819><c> we</c>

00:32:26.019 --> 00:32:28.400
consider<00:32:26.640><c> what's</c><00:32:27.500><c> in</c><00:32:27.740><c> store</c><00:32:27.920><c> for</c><00:32:28.140><c> those</c>

00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:31.920
that<00:32:28.660><c> love</c><00:32:28.799><c> God,</c><00:32:29.539><c> we</c><00:32:29.859><c> see</c><00:32:30.160><c> that</c><00:32:30.420><c> all</c><00:32:30.700><c> that</c><00:32:30.920><c> God</c><00:32:31.160><c> has</c><00:32:31.420><c> done</c><00:32:31.660><c> for</c>

00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:33.539
us,<00:32:32.160><c> that</c><00:32:32.359><c> Christ</c><00:32:32.640><c> has</c><00:32:32.819><c> done</c><00:32:32.980><c> for</c><00:32:33.200><c> us,</c>

00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:37.559
our<00:32:34.079><c> mind</c><00:32:34.559><c> tells</c><00:32:34.980><c> us</c><00:32:35.240><c> that</c><00:32:35.480><c> this</c><00:32:35.740><c> service</c><00:32:36.160><c> is</c><00:32:36.920><c> reasonable.</c>

00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:38.740
It's<00:32:38.140><c> logical.</c>

00:32:39.099 --> 00:32:41.140
It's<00:32:39.220><c> the</c><00:32:39.400><c> thing</c><00:32:39.559><c> that</c><00:32:39.759><c> we</c><00:32:39.900><c> should</c><00:32:40.119><c> do.</c>

00:50:37.170 --> 00:50:39.190
That's<00:50:37.650><c> a</c><00:50:37.789><c> living</c><00:50:38.030><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:50:40.110 --> 00:50:41.849

Where<00:50:42.190><c> are</c><00:50:42.469><c> we?</c>

00:50:42.949 --> 00:50:45.849
The<00:50:43.150><c> word</c><00:50:43.389><c> sacrifice</c><00:50:44.030><c> in</c><00:50:44.230><c> the</c><00:50:44.389><c> Old</c><00:50:44.550><c> Testament</c><00:50:45.010><c> has</c><00:50:45.309><c> two</c><00:50:45.590><c> words.</c>

00:50:45.909 --> 00:50:49.309
Two<00:50:46.070><c> words</c><00:50:46.230><c> are</c><00:50:46.389><c> used</c><00:50:46.530><c> for</c><00:50:46.829><c> sacrifice,</c><00:50:47.929><c> zeba</c><00:50:48.170><c> and</c><00:50:48.409><c> ola.</c>

00:50:49.329 --> 00:50:50.889
Zeba<00:50:49.570><c> means</c><00:50:49.769><c> that</c><00:50:50.030><c> which</c><00:50:50.190><c> is</c><00:50:50.469><c> slain.</c>

00:50:51.210 --> 00:50:52.909
Ola<00:50:51.389><c> means</c><00:50:51.710><c> that</c><00:50:51.969><c> which</c><00:50:52.090><c> goes</c><00:50:52.269><c> up</c><00:50:52.489><c> in</c><00:50:52.670><c> smoke.</c>

00:50:53.349 --> 00:50:56.050
Both<00:50:53.750><c> are</c><00:50:54.090><c> a</c><00:50:54.329><c> complete</c><00:50:54.949><c> loss.</c>

00:50:56.670 --> 00:50:59.250
Both<00:50:57.309><c> words</c><00:50:57.690><c> mean</c><00:50:58.070><c> a</c><00:50:58.489><c> complete</c><00:50:58.869><c> loss.</c>

00:50:59.610 --> 00:51:02.170
The<00:50:59.789><c> animal</c><00:51:00.150><c> was</c><00:51:00.570><c> no</c><00:51:00.889><c> longer</c><00:51:01.210><c> in</c><00:51:01.469><c> the</c><00:51:01.730><c> possession</c>

00:51:02.170 --> 00:51:03.889
of<00:51:02.670><c> the</c><00:51:02.809><c> person</c><00:51:03.030><c> that</c><00:51:03.289><c> sacrificed</c><00:51:03.769><c> it.</c>

00:51:03.889 --> 00:51:04.710
It<00:51:03.969><c> was</c><00:51:04.170><c> gone.</c>

00:51:05.210 --> 00:51:06.929
It<00:51:05.329><c> wasn't</c><00:51:05.670><c> theirs</c><00:51:05.909><c> anymore.</c>

00:51:07.210 --> 00:51:09.090
That's<00:51:07.690><c> a</c><00:51:07.730><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:51:09.789 --> 00:51:13.010
That's<00:51:10.110><c> a</c><00:51:10.230><c> giving</c><00:51:10.409><c> up</c><00:51:10.690><c> of</c><00:51:10.849><c> something</c><00:51:11.070><c> completely,</c><00:51:11.969><c> gone.</c>

00:51:13.389 --> 00:51:18.250
We're<00:51:13.590><c> to</c><00:51:13.750><c> be</c><00:51:14.070><c> living</c><00:51:14.690><c> sacrifices,</c><00:51:16.349><c> giving</c><00:51:16.570><c> up</c><00:51:16.829><c> our</c><00:51:17.070><c> lives</c><00:51:17.429><c> completely.</c>

00:51:18.769 --> 00:51:20.909
The<00:51:18.949><c> man</c><00:51:19.070><c> of</c><00:51:19.190><c> the</c><00:51:19.389><c> flesh</c><00:51:19.550><c> is</c><00:51:19.869><c> gone.</c>

00:51:21.449 --> 00:51:24.409
And<00:51:21.650><c> that's</c><00:51:21.849><c> the</c><00:51:22.010><c> picture</c><00:51:22.210><c> just</c><00:51:22.409><c> being</c><00:51:22.590><c> laid</c><00:51:22.789><c> out</c><00:51:23.010><c> for</c><00:51:23.269><c> us.</c>

00:51:28.829 --> 00:51:31.769
Well,<00:51:29.949><c> our</c><00:51:30.090><c> time</c><00:51:30.230><c> is</c><00:51:30.469><c> gone.</c>

00:51:32.989 --> 00:51:35.929
Romans<00:51:33.130><c> 12</c><00:51:33.530><c> to</c><00:51:33.630><c> 15,</c><00:51:34.070><c> we're</c><00:51:34.250><c> going</c><00:51:34.349><c> to</c><00:51:34.489><c> learn</c><00:51:34.690><c> how</c><00:51:34.909><c> to</c><00:51:35.070><c> be</c>

00:51:35.929 --> 00:51:37.769
living<00:51:36.329><c> sacrifices.</c>

00:51:39.329 --> 00:51:43.269
Paul's<00:51:39.690><c> put</c><00:51:39.829><c> these</c><00:51:40.030><c> here</c><00:51:40.230><c> for</c><00:51:40.369><c> us</c><00:51:40.570><c> to</c><00:51:40.869><c> learn</c><00:51:41.289><c> how</c><00:51:42.110><c> to</c><00:51:42.730><c> live</c><00:51:42.969><c> our</c>

00:51:43.269 --> 00:51:46.269
lives<00:51:43.630><c> a</c><00:51:44.329><c> life</c><00:51:44.570><c> of</c><00:51:45.070><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:51:47.010 --> 00:51:49.750
Not<00:51:47.349><c> so</c><00:51:47.570><c> that</c><00:51:47.710><c> we</c><00:51:47.869><c> may</c><00:51:48.030><c> merely</c><00:51:48.250><c> have</c><00:51:48.449><c> a</c><00:51:48.690><c> textbook</c><00:51:49.030><c> to</c><00:51:49.389><c> look</c><00:51:49.570><c> up</c>

00:51:49.750 --> 00:51:50.730
every<00:51:49.969><c> little</c><00:51:50.190><c> situation</c>

00:51:50.730 --> 00:51:54.750
that<00:51:50.869><c> comes</c><00:51:51.110><c> along</c><00:51:51.570><c> so</c><00:51:52.210><c> that</c><00:51:53.030><c> we</c><00:51:53.170><c> might</c><00:51:53.449><c> gain</c><00:51:53.829><c> the</c><00:51:54.090><c> mind</c><00:51:54.309><c> of</c><00:51:54.469><c> Christ,</c>

00:51:54.849 --> 00:51:55.670
the<00:51:54.989><c> mind</c><00:51:55.170><c> of</c><00:51:55.309><c> the</c><00:51:55.489><c> Father.</c>

00:51:55.690 --> 00:51:59.090
We<00:51:55.789><c> might</c><00:51:55.969><c> prepare</c><00:51:56.530><c> ourselves</c><00:51:57.289><c> for</c><00:51:58.369><c> the</c><00:51:58.570><c> things</c><00:51:58.730><c> that</c><00:51:58.889><c> might</c>

00:51:59.090 --> 00:52:00.130
come<00:51:59.309><c> along</c><00:51:59.489><c> in</c><00:51:59.670><c> our</c><00:51:59.849><c> lives.</c>

00:52:00.170 --> 00:52:01.670
That's<00:52:00.469><c> the</c><00:52:00.650><c> perspective.</c>

00:52:01.829 --> 00:52:06.909
So<00:52:02.010><c> we</c><00:52:02.090><c> might</c><00:52:02.329><c> know</c><00:52:02.590><c> all</c><00:52:03.030><c> of</c><00:52:03.110><c> what</c><00:52:03.269><c> it</c><00:52:03.489><c> takes</c><00:52:03.869><c> to</c><00:52:04.469><c> present</c><00:52:04.869><c> ourselves</c><00:52:05.489><c> a</c><00:52:05.829><c> living</c><00:52:06.110><c> sacrifice</c><00:52:06.670><c> to</c>

00:52:06.909 --> 00:52:07.849
our<00:52:07.090><c> God.</c>

00:52:08.369 --> 00:52:12.809
Are<00:52:08.610><c> we</c><00:52:08.909><c> sure</c><00:52:09.469><c> that</c><00:52:10.170><c> we</c><00:52:10.389><c> know</c><00:52:10.969><c> what</c><00:52:11.670><c> God</c><00:52:11.909><c> wants</c><00:52:12.210><c> us</c><00:52:12.429><c> to</c><00:52:12.570><c> do?</c>

00:52:12.989 --> 00:52:14.369
That's<00:52:13.289><c> the</c><00:52:13.449><c> question.</c>

00:52:14.809 --> 00:52:17.090
This<00:52:15.050><c> is</c><00:52:15.150><c> what</c><00:52:15.190><c> we'll</c><00:52:15.329><c> be</c><00:52:15.429><c> looking</c><00:52:15.610><c> at</c><00:52:15.789><c> the</c><00:52:15.889><c> rest</c><00:52:16.030><c> of</c><00:52:16.250><c> the</c><00:52:16.329><c> week.</c>

00:52:17.150 --> 00:52:20.570
Now,<00:52:17.590><c> the</c><00:52:17.809><c> handout</c><00:52:18.170><c> I</c><00:52:18.349><c> gave</c><00:52:18.610><c> you</c><00:52:19.130><c> is</c><00:52:19.449><c> for</c><00:52:19.610><c> homework.</c>

00:52:22.670 --> 00:52:24.070
My<00:52:22.829><c> wife</c><00:52:23.010><c> told</c><00:52:23.190><c> me</c><00:52:23.289><c> never</c><00:52:23.449><c> say</c><00:52:23.670><c> homework.</c>

00:52:24.389 --> 00:52:28.030
Everybody<00:52:24.650><c> goes,</c><00:52:25.110><c> oh,</c><00:52:25.769><c> it's</c><00:52:26.570><c> for</c><00:52:26.690><c> you</c><00:52:26.809><c> to</c><00:52:26.889><c> look</c><00:52:27.110><c> over.</c>

of<00:52:31.349><c> you</c>

00:52:31.469 --> 00:52:34.469
because<00:52:31.989><c> it's</c><00:52:33.030><c> just</c><00:52:33.150><c> something</c><00:52:33.369><c> that's</c><00:52:33.690><c> unaccustomed</c><00:52:34.170><c> to</c>

00:52:34.469 --> 00:52:35.989

00:52:36.170 --> 00:52:39.369
It's<00:52:36.489><c> not</c><00:52:36.710><c> new</c><00:52:37.070><c> because</c><00:52:37.690><c> Brother</c><00:52:37.929><c> John</c><00:52:38.210><c> Nose</c><00:52:38.469><c> handed</c><00:52:38.789><c> this</c><00:52:39.010><c> out</c><00:52:39.210><c> to</c>
