00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.319
It<00:01:01.219><c> took</c><00:01:01.399><c> seven</c><00:01:01.780><c> years</c><00:01:02.479><c> to</c><00:01:02.780><c> conquer</c><00:01:03.039><c> the</c><00:01:03.299><c> land.</c>

00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:08.680
God<00:01:06.120><c> could</c><00:01:06.340><c> have</c><00:01:06.459><c> done</c><00:01:06.620><c> it</c><00:01:07.180><c> in</c><00:01:07.480><c> one</c><00:01:07.760><c> minute.</c>

00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:17.140
God<00:01:10.019><c> does</c><00:01:10.379><c> things</c><00:01:11.400><c> his</c><00:01:12.120><c> way</c><00:01:12.920><c> because</c><00:01:13.920><c> his</c><00:01:14.319><c> way</c><00:01:15.079><c> is</c><00:01:16.200><c> best.</c>

00:01:17.939 --> 00:01:24.680
Joshua<00:01:18.659><c> sent</c><00:01:19.099><c> two</c><00:01:19.480><c> spies</c><00:01:20.299><c> into</c><00:01:21.379><c> Jericho</c><00:01:21.980><c> to</c><00:01:22.340><c> spy</c><00:01:22.659><c> out</c><00:01:23.060><c> the</c><00:01:23.319><c> land.</c>

00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:31.760
God<00:01:26.079><c> sent</c><00:01:26.420><c> two</c><00:01:26.780><c> men</c><00:01:27.140><c> into</c><00:01:27.560><c> Jericho</c><00:01:28.540><c> to</c><00:01:29.219><c> save</c><00:01:30.120><c> a</c><00:01:30.739><c> woman.</c>

00:01:33.219 --> 00:01:36.700
The<00:01:33.400><c> story</c><00:01:33.719><c> of</c><00:01:34.000><c> Rahab</c><00:01:34.500><c> is</c><00:01:34.840><c> a</c><00:01:35.099><c> beautiful</c><00:01:35.500><c> story.</c>

00:01:36.819 --> 00:01:41.319
And<00:01:37.120><c> it</c><00:01:37.319><c> shows</c><00:01:37.579><c> us</c><00:01:37.799><c> how</c><00:01:38.019><c> God</c><00:01:38.340><c> is</c><00:01:38.659><c> calling</c><00:01:38.840><c> out</c><00:01:39.040><c> to</c><00:01:39.219><c> the</c><00:01:39.359><c> Gentiles,</c><00:01:40.099><c> a</c><00:01:40.760><c> people</c><00:01:41.079><c> for</c>

00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:42.620
his<00:01:41.560><c> name.</c>

00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:51.000
And<00:01:43.939><c> the</c><00:01:44.219><c> plain</c><00:01:44.400><c> fact</c><00:01:44.780><c> is</c><00:01:45.019><c> that</c><00:01:45.219><c> God</c><00:01:45.659><c> calls</c><00:01:46.879><c> those</c><00:01:48.640><c> he</c><00:01:49.900><c> will.</c>

00:01:53.879 --> 00:02:01.420
And<00:01:54.739><c> he</c><00:01:55.599><c> calls</c><00:01:55.959><c> some</c><00:01:56.900><c> we</c><00:01:58.319><c> wouldn't</c><00:01:58.739><c> have</c><00:01:59.239><c> thought</c><00:01:59.500><c> he</c><00:01:59.840><c> would</c><00:02:00.200><c> call.</c>

00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:07.700
But<00:02:02.819><c> oh,</c><00:02:03.180><c> we're</c><00:02:03.379><c> ever</c><00:02:03.680><c> so</c><00:02:04.000><c> thankful</c><00:02:04.780><c> that</c><00:02:06.060><c> he</c><00:02:06.359><c> called</c><00:02:06.579><c> us.</c>

00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:14.419
Now,<00:02:10.439><c> if</c><00:02:10.780><c> we</c><00:02:11.080><c> had</c><00:02:11.240><c> been</c><00:02:11.460><c> running</c><00:02:11.800><c> things,</c><00:02:13.360><c> I</c><00:02:13.539><c> don't</c><00:02:13.860><c> think</c><00:02:14.099><c> we</c>

00:02:14.419 --> 00:02:16.900
would<00:02:14.659><c> have</c><00:02:14.860><c> called</c><00:02:15.460><c> Rahab.</c>

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.419
She<00:02:18.439><c> was</c><00:02:18.740><c> a</c><00:02:18.939><c> prostitute.</c>

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.560
She<00:02:21.280><c> was</c><00:02:21.659><c> a</c><00:02:22.060><c> heathen</c><00:02:23.000><c> prostitute.</c>

00:02:24.789 --> 00:02:30.840
And<00:02:25.400><c> God's</c><00:02:27.860><c> assessment</c><00:02:28.419><c> of</c><00:02:28.780><c> the</c><00:02:28.919><c> city</c><00:02:29.180><c> of</c><00:02:29.439><c> Jericho</c><00:02:29.900><c> was</c><00:02:30.300><c> that</c>

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:40.599
everyone,<00:02:32.560><c> man,</c><00:02:33.900><c> woman,</c><00:02:35.400><c> child,</c><00:02:36.759><c> ox,</c><00:02:38.539><c> oxen,</c><00:02:39.939><c> sheep,</c><00:02:40.599><c> goats,</c>

00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:50.120
everything<00:02:41.580><c> was</c><00:02:42.039><c> to</c><00:02:42.240><c> be</c><00:02:42.500><c> killed</c><00:02:43.439><c> except</c><00:02:45.860><c> Rahab</c><00:02:47.580><c> and</c><00:02:48.780><c> her</c><00:02:49.020><c> family.</c>

00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:59.699
Jesus<00:02:53.099><c> tells</c><00:02:53.400><c> us</c><00:02:53.659><c> that</c><00:02:53.879><c> no</c><00:02:54.180><c> man,</c><00:02:56.039><c> mankind</c><00:02:57.020><c> includes</c><00:02:57.520><c> the</c><00:02:57.939><c> sisters</c><00:02:58.259><c> certainly,</c><00:02:59.460><c> no</c>

00:02:59.699 --> 00:03:03.780
man<00:03:00.039><c> can</c><00:03:00.240><c> come</c><00:03:00.479><c> to</c><00:03:00.719><c> me</c><00:03:01.900><c> except</c><00:03:02.379><c> the</c><00:03:02.620><c> Father</c><00:03:02.879><c> which</c><00:03:03.180><c> hath</c><00:03:03.400><c> sent</c>

00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:06.400
me<00:03:04.539><c> draw</c><00:03:05.039><c> him.</c>

00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:12.560
So<00:03:07.300><c> Rahab</c><00:03:07.939><c> was</c><00:03:08.919><c> known</c><00:03:09.240><c> by</c><00:03:09.560><c> God</c><00:03:10.000><c> in</c><00:03:11.479><c> advance.</c>

00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:14.759
God<00:03:13.400><c> looks</c><00:03:13.639><c> upon</c><00:03:13.979><c> the</c><00:03:14.219><c> heart.</c>

00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.539
God<00:03:15.639><c> knew</c><00:03:16.300><c> what</c><00:03:16.759><c> kind</c><00:03:17.099><c> of</c><00:03:17.199><c> a</c><00:03:17.340><c> woman</c><00:03:17.560><c> she</c><00:03:17.740><c> really</c><00:03:18.280><c> was,</c><00:03:19.319><c> though</c>

00:03:19.539 --> 00:03:23.180
she<00:03:19.680><c> was</c><00:03:19.960><c> not</c><00:03:20.219><c> living</c><00:03:20.500><c> the</c><00:03:20.659><c> kind</c><00:03:20.900><c> of</c><00:03:21.080><c> life</c><00:03:21.500><c> she</c><00:03:22.479><c> should</c><00:03:22.900><c> have</c>

00:03:23.180 --> 00:03:24.280
been<00:03:23.419><c> living.</c>

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.840
And<00:03:24.759><c> so</c><00:03:24.900><c> Rahab</c><00:03:25.159><c> becomes</c><00:03:25.599><c> a</c><00:03:25.819><c> great,</c><00:03:26.060><c> great,</c><00:03:26.300><c> great,</c><00:03:26.560><c> great,</c><00:03:26.840><c> great,</c><00:03:27.099><c> great,</c><00:03:27.379><c> great,</c><00:03:27.659><c> great,</c><00:03:27.800><c> great,</c><00:03:28.020><c> great</c><00:03:28.180><c> grandmother</c><00:03:28.680><c> of</c>

00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.199
the<00:03:28.960><c> Lord</c><00:03:29.080><c> Jesus</c><00:03:29.379><c> Christ.</c>

00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.280
Now,<00:03:30.680><c> I</c><00:03:30.759><c> didn't</c><00:03:30.979><c> put</c><00:03:31.180><c> in</c><00:03:31.340><c> enough</c><00:03:31.580><c> greats,</c><00:03:33.419><c> but</c><00:03:33.639><c> she</c><00:03:33.800><c> really</c><00:03:34.099><c> is</c>

00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.659
a<00:03:34.439><c> great,</c><00:03:34.819><c> great</c><00:03:35.159><c> grandmother</c><00:03:35.780><c> of</c><00:03:36.400><c> King</c><00:03:36.639><c> David.</c>

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.759
How<00:03:38.520><c> different</c><00:03:39.120><c> God's</c><00:03:39.639><c> ways</c><00:03:39.800><c> are</c><00:03:40.139><c> than</c><00:03:40.560><c> ours.</c>

00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.500
We<00:03:42.879><c> would</c><00:03:43.139><c> not</c><00:03:43.360><c> have</c><00:03:43.560><c> the</c><00:03:43.819><c> likes</c><00:03:44.039><c> of</c><00:03:44.780><c> a</c><00:03:45.139><c> prostitute</c><00:03:45.780><c> gentile</c>

00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:51.199

00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:59.460
The<00:03:52.099><c> British</c><00:03:52.500><c> crown</c><00:03:52.979><c> tries</c><00:03:53.659><c> to</c><00:03:54.379><c> keep</c><00:03:54.639><c> the</c><00:03:55.699><c> blue</c><00:03:55.960><c> blood</c><00:03:56.280><c> of</c><00:03:57.159><c> royalty</c><00:03:57.780><c> in</c>

00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:04.699
They're<00:04:02.599><c> having</c><00:04:02.800><c> a</c><00:04:03.099><c> tough</c><00:04:03.319><c> time</c><00:04:03.639><c> right</c><00:04:03.919><c> now.</c>

00:04:04.699 --> 00:04:12.039

00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:14.960
We<00:13:08.259><c> need</c><00:13:08.720><c> to</c><00:13:09.059><c> realize</c><00:13:09.919><c> that</c><00:13:11.259><c> what</c><00:13:11.559><c> God</c><00:13:11.960><c> said</c><00:13:12.700><c> he</c><00:13:14.120><c> did</c><00:13:14.539><c> and</c><00:13:14.820><c> what</c>

00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:39.019

00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:45.220
If<00:26:39.720><c> we</c><00:26:39.920><c> go</c><00:26:40.119><c> down</c><00:26:40.380><c> into</c><00:26:40.559><c> the</c><00:26:40.740><c> water</c><00:26:40.980><c> following</c><00:26:41.680><c> about</c><00:26:42.299><c> 2</c><00:26:42.579><c>,000</c><00:26:44.160><c> cubits,</c>

00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:06.920
how<00:30:04.019><c> that</c><00:30:04.240><c> all</c><00:30:04.700><c> our</c><00:30:05.000><c> fathers</c><00:30:05.319><c> were</c><00:30:05.500><c> under</c><00:30:05.740><c> the</c><00:30:05.980><c> cloud</c><00:30:06.240><c> and</c><00:30:06.500><c> all</c>

00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:34.480
We<00:30:33.759><c> know</c><00:30:33.960><c> that's</c><00:30:34.319><c> true.</c>

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.140
We<00:30:34.660><c> certainly</c><00:30:34.880><c> know</c><00:30:35.079><c> that's</c><00:30:35.420><c> true</c><00:30:35.579><c> of</c><00:30:36.539><c> Moses</c><00:30:37.019><c> and</c><00:30:37.240><c> we</c><00:30:37.299><c> know</c><00:30:37.480><c> that's</c><00:30:37.700><c> true</c><00:30:37.819><c> of</c>

And<00:32:33.900><c> so</c><00:32:34.579><c> we</c><00:32:35.819><c> should</c><00:32:36.019><c> have</c><00:32:36.200><c> our</c><00:32:36.440><c> rough</c><00:32:36.599><c> edges</c><00:32:37.519><c> knocked</c><00:32:38.440><c> off</c><00:32:38.720><c> of</c><00:32:38.960><c> us</c>

00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:56.339
And<00:32:54.319><c> they</c><00:32:54.440><c> would</c><00:32:55.059><c> be</c><00:32:55.279><c> told.</c>

00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:13.819
But<00:33:11.700><c> then</c><00:33:12.339><c> Joshua</c><00:33:12.619><c> did</c><00:33:12.859><c> another</c><00:33:13.180><c> thing</c><00:33:13.440><c> interesting.</c>

Now<00:35:21.099><c> no</c><00:35:21.739><c> general</c><00:35:22.440><c> would</c><00:35:23.619><c> do</c><00:35:23.840><c> this</c><00:35:24.699><c> in</c><00:35:26.139><c> modern</c><00:35:26.480><c> warfare.</c>

00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:32.219

00:35:41.699 --> 00:35:47.280

00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:52.179
We<00:35:47.739><c> don't</c><00:35:47.960><c> have</c><00:35:48.260><c> to</c><00:35:48.619><c> rely</c><00:35:48.980><c> on</c><00:35:49.340><c> the</c><00:35:49.619><c> arm</c><00:35:49.800><c> of</c><00:35:50.139><c> flesh</c><00:35:50.380><c> to</c><00:35:50.659><c> deliver</c><00:35:50.980><c> us.</c>

Now<00:36:54.659><c> you</c><00:36:55.139><c> can't</c><00:36:55.380><c> really</c><00:36:55.599><c> do</c><00:36:55.699><c> it</c><00:36:55.860><c> twice,</c>

00:36:56.179 --> 00:36:58.840
but<00:36:56.280><c> the</c><00:36:56.360><c> whole</c><00:36:56.579><c> point</c><00:36:56.739><c> was</c><00:36:57.059><c> all</c><00:36:57.460><c> the</c><00:36:57.699><c> children</c><00:36:57.960><c> born</c><00:36:58.360><c> during</c>

00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:00.460
the<00:36:59.460><c> wilderness</c><00:36:59.900><c> wanderings</c>

00:37:00.460 --> 00:37:02.039
were<00:37:00.659><c> not</c><00:37:01.019><c> circumcised.</c>

00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:04.820
And<00:37:02.280><c> so</c><00:37:02.360><c> we</c><00:37:02.460><c> have</c><00:37:02.659><c> a</c><00:37:02.800><c> whole</c><00:37:03.199><c> new</c><00:37:03.460><c> generation</c><00:37:04.000><c> of</c><00:37:04.260><c> grown</c><00:37:04.460><c> men.</c>

00:37:05.059 --> 00:37:08.619
After<00:37:05.380><c> this,</c><00:37:05.840><c> the</c><00:37:05.960><c> Jews</c><00:37:06.119><c> always</c><00:37:06.480><c> did</c><00:37:06.659><c> it</c><00:37:07.320><c> to</c><00:37:08.079><c> babies.</c>

00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:10.980
So<00:37:09.139><c> therefore</c><00:37:09.579><c> there</c><00:37:09.940><c> was</c><00:37:10.119><c> never</c><00:37:10.300><c> this</c><00:37:10.539><c> problem.</c>

00:37:11.340 --> 00:37:13.739
But<00:37:11.460><c> all</c><00:37:11.800><c> the</c><00:37:12.000><c> males,</c><00:37:12.480><c> in</c><00:37:12.599><c> verse</c><00:37:12.880><c> 4,</c>

00:37:14.019 --> 00:37:17.199
and<00:37:14.159><c> this</c><00:37:14.340><c> is</c><00:37:14.739><c> the</c><00:37:14.780><c> cause</c><00:37:15.099><c> why</c><00:37:15.860><c> Joshua</c><00:37:16.360><c> did</c><00:37:16.719><c> circumcise,</c>

00:37:17.300 --> 00:37:19.860
all<00:37:17.559><c> the</c><00:37:17.780><c> people</c><00:37:17.980><c> that</c><00:37:18.159><c> came</c><00:37:18.360><c> out</c><00:37:18.639><c> of</c><00:37:18.780><c> Egypt</c><00:37:19.059><c> that</c><00:37:19.360><c> were</c><00:37:19.559><c> males,</c>

00:37:19.860 --> 00:37:22.780
because<00:37:20.139><c> even</c><00:37:20.179><c> all</c><00:37:20.460><c> the</c><00:37:20.599><c> men</c><00:37:20.719><c> of</c><00:37:20.940><c> war</c><00:37:21.099><c> died</c><00:37:21.500><c> in</c><00:37:21.639><c> the</c><00:37:21.800><c> wilderness,</c><00:37:22.079><c> by</c><00:37:22.340><c> the</c><00:37:22.519><c> way,</c>

00:37:23.019 --> 00:37:24.139
after<00:37:23.239><c> they</c><00:37:23.440><c> came</c><00:37:23.760><c> out.</c>

00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:26.960
Now<00:37:24.760><c> all</c><00:37:24.880><c> the</c><00:37:25.059><c> people</c><00:37:25.239><c> that</c><00:37:25.440><c> came</c><00:37:25.659><c> out</c><00:37:25.900><c> were</c><00:37:26.179><c> circumcised.</c>

00:37:27.219 --> 00:37:28.960
But<00:37:27.420><c> all</c><00:37:27.619><c> the</c><00:37:27.780><c> people</c><00:37:27.940><c> that</c><00:37:28.079><c> were</c><00:37:28.340><c> born</c><00:37:28.480><c> in</c><00:37:28.599><c> the</c><00:37:28.719><c> wilderness,</c>

00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:29.719
by<00:37:29.179><c> the</c><00:37:29.400><c> way,</c>

00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:31.960
as<00:37:30.019><c> they</c><00:37:30.159><c> came</c><00:37:30.400><c> forth</c><00:37:30.679><c> out</c><00:37:30.900><c> of</c><00:37:31.019><c> Egypt,</c>

00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:35.199
them<00:37:32.179><c> they</c><00:37:32.420><c> had</c><00:37:32.920><c> not</c><00:37:33.539><c> circumcised.</c>

00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:42.860
And<00:37:36.000><c> so</c><00:37:36.340><c> we</c><00:37:36.920><c> have</c><00:37:37.079><c> the</c><00:37:37.260><c> whole</c><00:37:37.500><c> army</c><00:37:38.619><c> sitting</c><00:37:39.059><c> there</c><00:37:40.360><c> vulnerable</c><00:37:41.639><c> to</c><00:37:42.239><c> the</c><00:37:42.440><c> enemy,</c>

00:37:43.340 --> 00:37:45.500
but<00:37:43.579><c> God</c><00:37:44.079><c> is</c><00:37:44.619><c> protecting</c><00:37:45.019><c> them.</c>

00:37:45.500 --> 00:37:49.840
And<00:37:45.500><c> if</c><00:37:46.340><c> we</c><00:37:46.519><c> put</c><00:37:46.760><c> our</c><00:37:47.219><c> total</c><00:37:47.659><c> trust</c><00:37:48.159><c> in</c><00:37:48.420><c> God,</c>

00:37:56.420 --> 00:38:01.360
Trust<00:37:56.480><c> in</c><00:37:56.679><c> the</c><00:37:56.860><c> Lord</c><00:37:58.019><c> with</c><00:37:58.820><c> all</c><00:37:59.239><c> thine</c><00:37:59.500><c> heart,</c>

00:38:02.019 --> 00:38:03.719
lean<00:38:02.119><c> not</c><00:38:02.360><c> unto</c><00:38:02.619><c> thine</c><00:38:02.760><c> own</c><00:38:03.059><c> understanding,</c>

00:38:03.980 --> 00:38:06.440

00:38:06.860 --> 00:38:09.960
and<00:38:07.219><c> he</c><00:38:07.940><c> shall</c><00:38:08.179><c> direct</c><00:38:08.519><c> thy</c><00:38:08.840><c> paths.</c>

00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:14.019
And<00:38:10.980><c> we</c><00:38:11.599><c> truly</c><00:38:11.940><c> do</c><00:38:12.519><c> believe</c><00:38:13.219><c> that,</c>

00:38:14.019 --> 00:38:19.699
and<00:38:14.980><c> then</c><00:38:15.199><c> we</c><00:38:15.440><c> need</c><00:38:15.820><c> to</c><00:38:16.340><c> live</c><00:38:16.980><c> like</c><00:38:18.099><c> we</c><00:38:18.420><c> believe</c><00:38:18.659><c> that.</c>

00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:24.139
It's<00:38:20.739><c> not</c><00:38:20.940><c> enough</c><00:38:21.219><c> to</c><00:38:21.480><c> know</c><00:38:22.139><c> to</c><00:38:23.039><c> do,</c>

00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:42.960
And<00:38:31.400><c> so</c><00:38:32.559><c> the</c><00:38:33.559><c> lessons</c><00:38:34.980><c> of</c><00:38:37.820><c> crossing</c><00:38:38.260><c> the</c><00:38:38.679><c> Jordan</c><00:38:39.219><c> are</c><00:38:41.840><c> beautiful.</c>

00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:51.300
The<00:38:44.639><c> fact</c><00:38:44.900><c> that</c><00:38:45.920><c> we</c><00:38:47.639><c> march</c><00:38:48.420><c> behind</c><00:38:49.599><c> our</c><00:38:50.119><c> ark</c>

00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:56.599
through<00:38:53.000><c> what</c><00:38:53.480><c> would</c><00:38:53.719><c> seem</c><00:38:53.880><c> impossible</c><00:38:54.480><c> except</c><00:38:54.840><c> for</c><00:38:55.119><c> God,</c>

00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.320
through<00:38:58.519><c> the</c><00:38:58.960><c> waters</c><00:38:59.119><c> of</c><00:38:59.400><c> baptism.</c>

00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:03.320
And<00:39:01.679><c> some</c><00:39:01.800><c> people</c><00:39:02.000><c> don't</c><00:39:02.260><c> get</c><00:39:02.480><c> baptized</c><00:39:02.820><c> because</c><00:39:03.059><c> they</c><00:39:03.239><c> say,</c>

00:39:03.320 --> 00:39:05.039
I<00:39:03.320><c> don't</c><00:39:03.500><c> think</c><00:39:03.619><c> I</c><00:39:03.679><c> could</c><00:39:03.860><c> live</c><00:39:04.039><c> it,</c><00:39:04.300><c> and</c><00:39:04.420><c> no</c><00:39:04.539><c> one</c><00:39:04.659><c> has</c><00:39:04.800><c> ever</c>

00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:06.039
lived<00:39:05.260><c> it,</c>

00:39:06.219 --> 00:39:07.579
except<00:39:06.460><c> the</c><00:39:06.699><c> Lord.</c>

00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:10.760
The<00:39:09.139><c> Lord</c><00:39:09.239><c> should</c><00:39:09.460><c> mark</c><00:39:09.659><c> iniquities</c><00:39:10.099><c> who</c><00:39:10.239><c> could</c><00:39:10.539><c> stand,</c>

00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:13.320
and<00:39:11.019><c> there'd</c><00:39:11.199><c> be</c><00:39:11.400><c> nobody</c><00:39:11.860><c> who</c><00:39:12.099><c> could.</c>

00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:15.440
But<00:39:13.880><c> we</c><00:39:14.099><c> could</c><00:39:14.360><c> try.</c>

00:39:16.219 --> 00:39:19.000
We<00:39:16.340><c> can</c><00:39:16.519><c> take</c><00:39:16.739><c> one</c><00:39:16.960><c> step</c><00:39:17.179><c> at</c><00:39:17.320><c> a</c><00:39:17.500><c> time.</c>

00:39:19.619 --> 00:39:20.860
And<00:39:19.840><c> that's</c><00:39:20.000><c> what</c><00:39:20.139><c> we're</c><00:39:20.300><c> doing,</c><00:39:20.760><c> aren't</c><00:39:20.760><c> we?</c>

00:39:20.900 --> 00:39:23.320
Because<00:39:21.119><c> we're</c><00:39:21.579><c> brothers</c><00:39:21.860><c> and</c><00:39:22.079><c> sisters.</c>

00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:27.940
And<00:39:23.360><c> we,</c><00:39:24.199><c> for</c><00:39:24.380><c> the</c><00:39:24.480><c> most</c><00:39:24.699><c> part,</c><00:39:25.039><c> are</c><00:39:25.539><c> through</c><00:39:26.719><c> the</c><00:39:26.960><c> waters</c>

00:39:38.059 --> 00:39:40.139

00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:43.260
Joshua<00:39:41.360><c> did</c><00:39:41.699><c> not</c><00:39:41.840><c> do</c><00:39:42.019><c> it</c><00:39:42.139><c> in</c><00:39:42.260><c> one</c><00:39:42.420><c> day,</c><00:39:42.539><c> although</c><00:39:42.820><c> he</c><00:39:43.039><c> could.</c>

00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:51.480
But<00:39:47.480><c> the</c><00:39:47.840><c> Lord</c><00:39:48.019><c> Jesus</c><00:39:48.300><c> Christ</c><00:39:48.639><c> is</c><00:39:48.880><c> going</c><00:39:49.019><c> to</c><00:39:49.599><c> set</c><00:39:49.840><c> up</c><00:39:50.099><c> his</c><00:39:50.360><c> kingdom,</c>

00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:56.719
And<00:39:54.760><c> if</c><00:39:54.900><c> we</c><00:39:55.159><c> have</c><00:39:55.300><c> been</c><00:39:55.599><c> faithful,</c>

00:39:57.239 --> 00:39:59.239
and<00:39:57.440><c> we</c><00:39:57.559><c> have</c><00:39:57.760><c> followed</c><00:39:58.039><c> him,</c>

00:39:59.539 --> 00:40:06.059
and<00:40:00.239><c> we</c><00:40:00.320><c> have</c><00:40:02.119><c> cut</c><00:40:03.519><c> off</c><00:40:04.239><c> the</c><00:40:04.739><c> flesh,</c>

00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:24.820
I<00:40:21.519><c> don't</c><00:40:21.800><c> think</c><00:40:21.980><c> they</c><00:40:22.199><c> had</c><00:40:22.500><c> anesthetics</c><00:40:23.219><c> in</c><00:40:23.400><c> those</c><00:40:23.639><c> days.</c>

00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:30.139
I'm<00:40:25.800><c> sure</c><00:40:26.139><c> that</c><00:40:26.440><c> we</c><00:40:26.599><c> had</c><00:40:26.800><c> some</c><00:40:27.099><c> pretty</c><00:40:27.400><c> miserable</c><00:40:28.159><c>-feeling</c><00:40:28.840><c> people</c>

00:40:30.340 --> 00:40:33.719
until,<00:40:31.039><c> as</c><00:40:31.260><c> the</c><00:40:31.380><c> Scripture</c><00:40:31.619><c> here</c><00:40:31.900><c> says,</c><00:40:32.119><c> they</c><00:40:32.260><c> were</c><00:40:32.559><c> whole.</c>

00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:43.940
And<00:40:35.219><c> we</c><00:40:35.519><c> need</c><00:40:35.880><c> to</c><00:40:36.840><c> cut</c><00:40:37.219><c> off</c><00:40:38.400><c> the</c><00:40:39.900><c> flesh</c><00:40:40.519><c> in</c><00:40:43.300><c> our</c><00:40:43.579><c> lives,</c>

whatever<00:40:44.380><c> it</c><00:40:44.519><c> is</c><00:40:44.800><c> that</c><00:40:45.719><c> represents.</c>

00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:49.420
When<00:40:47.800><c> I</c><00:40:47.940><c> talk</c><00:40:48.099><c> about</c><00:40:48.400><c> literal</c><00:40:48.840><c> circumcision,</c>

00:40:52.579 --> 00:40:57.440
And<00:40:53.179><c> that's</c><00:40:53.579><c> good</c><00:40:53.880><c> to</c><00:40:54.179><c> know,</c><00:40:54.380><c> because</c><00:40:54.639><c> that</c><00:40:54.900><c> includes</c><00:40:55.360><c> sisters</c><00:40:55.880><c> too.</c>

00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:00.420
But<00:40:58.519><c> circumcision</c><00:40:59.179><c> hurts.</c>

00:41:02.340 --> 00:41:08.440
Are<00:41:02.519><c> you</c><00:41:02.739><c> willing</c><00:41:03.159><c> to</c><00:41:03.639><c> go</c><00:41:03.800><c> into</c><00:41:03.960><c> the</c><00:41:04.219><c> knife</c><00:41:05.219><c> for</c><00:41:07.340><c> your</c><00:41:07.599><c> Lord?</c>

00:41:13.940 --> 00:41:21.760
Are<00:41:14.900><c> you</c><00:41:15.159><c> willing</c><00:41:15.619><c> to</c><00:41:16.300><c> sacrifice</c><00:41:17.659><c> your</c><00:41:18.940><c> desires</c><00:41:19.780><c> and</c><00:41:20.920><c> your</c><00:41:21.239><c> wants</c>

00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:38.559
And<00:41:34.340><c> we</c><00:41:34.440><c> need</c><00:41:34.699><c> to</c><00:41:34.860><c> be</c><00:41:35.139><c> thankful</c><00:41:35.519><c> that</c><00:41:35.940><c> God</c><00:41:36.340><c> is</c><00:41:36.699><c> doing</c><00:41:36.900><c> the</c><00:41:37.219><c> calling,</c>

00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:44.440
That<00:41:42.019><c> God</c><00:41:42.360><c> has</c><00:41:42.699><c> called</c><00:41:42.920><c> people</c><00:41:43.320><c> that,</c>

00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:47.659

00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:49.840
There's<00:41:48.320><c> some</c><00:41:48.500><c> people</c><00:41:48.679><c> that</c><00:41:49.079><c> I</c><00:41:49.300><c> would</c><00:41:49.440><c> have</c><00:41:49.659><c> called</c>

00:42:00.900 --> 00:42:04.039
They're<00:42:01.300><c> not</c><00:42:01.539><c> bad</c><00:42:01.900><c> living</c><00:42:02.159><c> people,</c><00:42:02.480><c> as</c><00:42:02.639><c> the</c><00:42:02.780><c> world</c><00:42:02.940><c> goes.</c>

00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.199
They're<00:42:04.920><c> honest</c><00:42:05.380><c> and</c><00:42:06.659><c> sincere,</c>

00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:10.239

00:42:11.539 --> 00:42:13.300
I<00:42:11.539><c> can't</c><00:42:11.780><c> say</c><00:42:11.880><c> that</c><00:42:12.079><c> about</c><00:42:12.320><c> everybody.</c>

00:42:14.179 --> 00:42:18.659
But<00:42:14.320><c> they</c><00:42:14.420><c> won't</c><00:42:14.619><c> get</c><00:42:14.940><c> baptized,</c><00:42:16.760><c> and</c><00:42:17.039><c> I</c><00:42:17.179><c> don't</c><00:42:17.300><c> know</c><00:42:17.420><c> why.</c>

00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.900
Either<00:42:20.159><c> they</c><00:42:20.639><c> have</c><00:42:21.039><c> been</c><00:42:21.320><c> called</c><00:42:21.659><c> and</c><00:42:21.900><c> said</c><00:42:22.079><c> no,</c>

00:42:25.860 --> 00:42:28.760
We<00:42:26.119><c> have</c><00:42:26.280><c> the</c><00:42:26.460><c> right</c><00:42:26.619><c> to</c><00:42:27.019><c> choose</c><00:42:27.460><c> for</c><00:42:28.400><c> ourselves</c>

00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:31.039
whether<00:42:28.980><c> we</c><00:42:29.159><c> want</c><00:42:29.340><c> life</c><00:42:29.659><c> or</c><00:42:29.840><c> death,</c>

00:42:32.059 --> 00:42:35.420
or<00:42:32.380><c> maybe</c><00:42:32.619><c> they</c><00:42:32.820><c> weren't</c><00:42:32.960><c> called,</c><00:42:33.960><c> and</c><00:42:34.440><c> only</c><00:42:34.739><c> God</c><00:42:34.940><c> knows.</c>

00:42:35.420 --> 00:42:38.320
But<00:42:36.260><c> then</c><00:42:36.539><c> God's</c><00:42:36.960><c> called</c><00:42:37.159><c> some</c>

00:42:39.179 --> 00:42:42.840

00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:47.559
He's<00:42:46.000><c> never</c><00:42:46.219><c> made</c><00:42:46.440><c> a</c><00:42:46.519><c> mistake,</c>

And<00:42:51.179><c> so</c><00:42:51.300><c> I</c><00:42:52.179><c> love</c><00:42:52.639><c> you</c><00:42:52.900><c> as</c><00:42:53.179><c> my</c><00:42:53.440><c> brothers</c><00:42:53.619><c> and</c><00:42:53.900><c> sisters,</c>
