And<00:07:35.740><c> Jeremiah</c><00:07:36.040><c> is</c><00:07:36.279><c> saying,</c><00:07:36.439><c> that's</c><00:07:36.839><c> the</c><00:07:37.000><c> same</c><00:07:37.199><c> place</c><00:07:37.480><c> that's</c>

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.220
very<00:07:37.939><c> deceitful.</c>

00:07:42.379 --> 00:07:44.959
That's<00:07:42.699><c> what</c><00:07:42.860><c> makes</c><00:07:43.319><c> faith</c><00:07:43.779><c> and</c><00:07:43.980><c> understanding</c><00:07:44.459><c> our</c><00:07:44.779><c> faith</c>

00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.279
so<00:07:45.199><c> difficult.</c>

00:07:46.339 --> 00:07:50.120
Because<00:07:46.660><c> the</c><00:07:47.019><c> heart</c><00:07:47.579><c> resists</c><00:07:48.860><c> examination.</c>

00:07:51.379 --> 00:07:54.060
Every<00:07:51.680><c> Sunday</c><00:07:51.980><c> morning</c><00:07:52.339><c> when</c><00:07:52.579><c> Paul</c><00:07:52.819><c> commands</c><00:07:53.199><c> us,</c><00:07:53.600><c> let</c><00:07:53.699><c> a</c><00:07:53.860><c> man</c>

00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.920
And<00:07:56.180><c> we</c><00:07:56.420><c> truly</c><00:07:56.860><c> look</c><00:07:57.100><c> into</c><00:07:57.379><c> our</c><00:07:57.660><c> hearts.</c>

00:07:58.220 --> 00:08:01.540
The<00:07:58.439><c> heart,</c><00:07:59.100><c> the</c><00:07:59.279><c> natural</c><00:07:59.540><c> heart</c><00:07:59.699><c> is</c><00:07:59.920><c> resisting</c><00:08:00.360><c> examination.</c>

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.360
It<00:08:02.379><c> will</c><00:08:02.579><c> find</c><00:08:02.759><c> all</c><00:08:03.120><c> the</c><00:08:03.259><c> reasons</c><00:08:03.560><c> for</c><00:08:03.819><c> why</c><00:08:04.180><c> it</c><00:08:04.439><c> should</c><00:08:04.680><c> not</c><00:08:04.920><c> be</c><00:08:05.180><c> known.</c>

00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:06.899
Who<00:08:05.680><c> can</c><00:08:06.019><c> know</c><00:08:06.139><c> it?</c>

00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.779
You<00:08:07.819><c> hear</c><00:08:07.879><c> the</c><00:08:07.939><c> word</c><00:08:08.100><c> of</c><00:08:08.220><c> God</c><00:08:08.399><c> is</c><00:08:08.620><c> saying,</c><00:08:08.879><c> best</c><00:08:09.100><c> we</c><00:08:09.319><c> know</c><00:08:09.519><c> our</c><00:08:09.759><c> hearts.</c>

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.419

00:10:39.179 --> 00:10:40.580
That's<00:10:39.480><c> what</c><00:10:39.580><c> James's</c><00:10:40.080><c> issue</c><00:10:40.200><c> is.</c>

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.740
Not<00:10:41.100><c> that</c><00:10:41.240><c> we</c><00:10:41.360><c> need</c><00:10:41.519><c> to</c><00:10:41.700><c> make</c><00:10:41.860><c> sure</c><00:10:42.000><c> that</c><00:10:42.139><c> we</c><00:10:42.240><c> have</c><00:10:42.360><c> some</c><00:10:42.600><c> faith</c>

00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.200
Much<00:10:43.919><c> like</c><00:10:44.259><c> perhaps</c><00:10:44.559><c> you</c><00:10:44.740><c> have</c><00:10:44.899><c> salt</c><00:10:45.179><c> and</c><00:10:45.440><c> pepper</c><00:10:45.720><c> to</c><00:10:46.059><c> make</c>

00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.820
That's<00:10:48.000><c> not</c><00:10:48.419><c> the</c><00:10:48.740><c> way</c><00:10:48.940><c> it's</c><00:10:49.120><c> been</c><00:10:49.379><c> presented</c><00:10:49.659><c> in</c><00:10:49.879><c> James</c><00:10:50.200><c> chapter</c><00:10:50.519><c> two.</c>

00:10:50.820 --> 00:10:53.440
So<00:10:51.000><c> let's</c><00:10:51.179><c> have</c><00:10:51.320><c> a</c><00:10:51.419><c> look</c><00:10:51.659><c> at</c><00:10:52.080><c> whether</c><00:10:52.279><c> we</c><00:10:52.539><c> can</c><00:10:52.860><c> pick</c><00:10:53.039><c> this</c><00:10:53.299><c> up.</c>

00:10:54.539 --> 00:10:56.399

00:15:25.659 --> 00:15:29.320
First,<00:15:26.759><c> our</c><00:15:26.799><c> faith</c><00:15:27.220><c> and</c><00:15:27.820><c> that</c><00:15:28.139><c> faith</c><00:15:28.360><c> and</c><00:15:28.580><c> that</c><00:15:28.879><c> relationship</c>

00:15:30.700 --> 00:15:33.220
is<00:15:31.019><c> what</c><00:15:31.200><c> gives</c><00:15:31.519><c> rise</c><00:15:31.960><c> to</c><00:15:32.320><c> works</c><00:15:32.639><c> of</c><00:15:32.919><c> love.</c>

00:15:33.419 --> 00:15:36.139
And<00:15:33.639><c> we'll</c><00:15:33.820><c> see</c><00:15:33.960><c> this</c><00:15:34.100><c> together</c><00:15:34.419><c> in</c><00:15:34.639><c> a</c><00:15:34.759><c> verse</c><00:15:34.960><c> in</c><00:15:35.159><c> a</c><00:15:35.320><c> moment.</c>

00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:38.600
So<00:15:36.679><c> I</c><00:15:36.720><c> think</c><00:15:36.840><c> it's</c><00:15:37.059><c> important</c><00:15:37.379><c> for</c><00:15:37.519><c> us</c><00:15:37.679><c> to</c><00:15:37.820><c> not</c><00:15:38.019><c> think</c><00:15:38.179><c> for</c><00:15:38.440><c> a</c>

00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:40.700
moment<00:15:39.019><c> that</c><00:15:39.720><c> James</c><00:15:40.179><c> is</c><00:15:40.460><c> saying,</c>

00:15:40.740 --> 00:15:43.960
well,<00:15:41.320><c> Paul</c><00:15:41.379><c> told</c><00:15:41.639><c> you</c><00:15:41.840><c> one</c><00:15:42.120><c> thing</c><00:15:42.399><c> and</c><00:15:42.700><c> Matthew's</c><00:15:43.059><c> been</c><00:15:43.259><c> telling</c><00:15:43.440><c> you</c><00:15:43.679><c> something</c>

00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:45.639
for<00:15:44.159><c> the</c><00:15:44.279><c> last</c><00:15:44.480><c> two</c><00:15:44.720><c> sessions.</c>

00:15:45.779 --> 00:15:49.139
But<00:15:46.059><c> I</c><00:15:46.259><c> also</c><00:15:46.480><c> want</c><00:15:46.639><c> you</c><00:15:46.779><c> to</c><00:15:46.919><c> focus</c><00:15:47.159><c> now</c><00:15:47.340><c> on</c><00:15:47.460><c> your</c><00:15:47.659><c> works</c><00:15:47.840><c> for</c><00:15:48.019><c> salvation</c>

00:15:49.259 --> 00:15:52.059
so<00:15:49.720><c> that</c><00:15:49.860><c> we</c><00:15:50.019><c> might</c><00:15:50.159><c> assume</c><00:15:50.480><c> that</c><00:15:50.639><c> by</c><00:15:50.899><c> just</c><00:15:51.179><c> doing</c><00:15:51.460><c> good</c><00:15:51.720><c> things,</c>

00:15:52.139 --> 00:15:54.799
we<00:15:52.220><c> will</c><00:15:52.399><c> by</c><00:15:52.580><c> natural</c><00:15:52.919><c> consequence</c><00:15:53.440><c> develop</c><00:15:53.860><c> faith.</c>

00:15:54.899 --> 00:15:57.639
And<00:15:55.200><c> I</c><00:15:55.299><c> think</c><00:15:55.460><c> this</c><00:15:55.639><c> is</c><00:15:55.799><c> the</c><00:15:55.919><c> key</c><00:15:56.039><c> point</c><00:15:56.220><c> I</c><00:15:56.340><c> want</c><00:15:56.460><c> to</c><00:15:56.600><c> emphasize.</c>

00:15:58.259 --> 00:16:02.080

00:16:03.580 --> 00:16:06.379

00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:10.419
In<00:16:06.899><c> fact,</c><00:16:07.159><c> if</c><00:16:07.320><c> the</c><00:16:07.580><c> motivation</c><00:16:08.059><c> of</c><00:16:08.320><c> good</c><00:16:08.500><c> works</c><00:16:08.759><c> is</c><00:16:09.139><c> not</c><00:16:09.419><c> correct,</c>

00:20:06.859 --> 00:20:09.319
He's<00:20:07.119><c> giving</c><00:20:07.259><c> us</c><00:20:07.500><c> the</c><00:20:07.640><c> ability</c><00:20:07.980><c> to</c><00:20:08.279><c> understand</c><00:20:08.819><c> whether</c><00:20:09.019><c> the</c>

I'm<00:20:59.259><c> emphasizing</c><00:20:59.640><c> this</c><00:20:59.920><c> order</c><00:21:00.039><c> because</c><00:21:00.519><c> I</c><00:21:00.720><c> think</c><00:21:00.880><c> it's</c><00:21:01.079><c> so</c><00:21:01.380><c> important</c><00:21:01.619><c> for</c><00:21:01.779><c> us</c>

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.000
It<00:21:15.859><c> may</c><00:21:16.140><c> not.</c>

00:21:17.019 --> 00:21:20.240
And<00:21:17.180><c> we</c><00:21:17.299><c> need</c><00:21:17.440><c> to</c><00:21:17.619><c> focus</c><00:21:18.019><c> on</c><00:21:18.500><c> this,</c><00:21:18.880><c> very</c><00:21:19.279><c> importantly,</c><00:21:20.059><c> in</c>

00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:21.019
our<00:21:20.519><c> development.</c>

00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:35.440
The<00:21:33.019><c> order</c><00:21:33.279><c> begins</c><00:21:33.740><c> with</c><00:21:34.019><c> faith</c><00:21:34.240><c> again.</c>

00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:39.420
wonderful<00:21:39.079><c> passage.</c>

00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:42.539

00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:45.480
And<00:21:43.079><c> everything</c><00:21:43.319><c> we</c><00:21:43.559><c> build</c><00:21:43.740><c> there</c><00:21:43.980><c> on</c><00:21:44.119><c> leading</c><00:21:44.380><c> up</c><00:21:44.660><c> to</c><00:21:44.960><c> love</c>

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:52.140
As<00:21:49.420><c> strong</c><00:21:49.619><c> as</c><00:21:49.839><c> that</c><00:21:50.019><c> foundation</c><00:21:50.640><c> is,</c><00:21:51.220><c> is</c><00:21:51.480><c> as</c><00:21:51.740><c> strong</c><00:21:51.859><c> as</c><00:21:52.000><c> the</c>

00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:03.660
And<00:21:59.700><c> so</c><00:21:59.900><c> our</c><00:22:00.200><c> focus</c><00:22:00.960><c> and</c><00:22:01.720><c> our</c><00:22:01.980><c> attention</c><00:22:02.359><c> is</c><00:22:02.619><c> driven</c><00:22:03.019><c> towards</c>

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:06.039
Here's<00:22:05.200><c> a</c><00:22:05.359><c> wonderful</c><00:22:05.640><c> passage.</c>

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:07.839
If<00:22:06.319><c> you're</c><00:22:06.559><c> still</c><00:22:06.720><c> confused</c><00:22:07.119><c> and</c><00:22:07.279><c> you're</c><00:22:07.440><c> seeing</c><00:22:07.519><c> how</c><00:22:07.720><c> all</c>

00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:08.440
these<00:22:08.019><c> things</c><00:22:08.200><c> work</c><00:22:08.319><c> together,</c>

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.359
this<00:22:08.619><c> is</c><00:22:08.740><c> a</c><00:22:08.900><c> passage</c><00:22:09.240><c> that</c><00:22:09.599><c> has</c><00:22:09.819><c> helped</c><00:22:09.980><c> me</c><00:22:10.319><c> dramatically.</c>

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:14.819
And<00:22:11.420><c> it</c><00:22:11.559><c> comes</c><00:22:11.900><c> from</c><00:22:12.940><c> Galatians</c><00:22:13.519><c> five</c><00:22:13.720><c> verse</c><00:22:13.940><c> six.</c>

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:17.099
You<00:22:15.420><c> would</c><00:22:15.660><c> have</c><00:22:15.839><c> read</c><00:22:15.940><c> it</c><00:22:16.119><c> and</c><00:22:16.220><c> I'm</c><00:22:16.640><c> sure</c><00:22:16.779><c> you</c><00:22:16.940><c> would</c><00:22:17.039><c> have</c>

00:22:17.099 --> 00:22:17.980
thought<00:22:17.259><c> about</c><00:22:17.480><c> this</c><00:22:17.720><c> passage.</c>

00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.160
I'm<00:22:18.519><c> going</c><00:22:18.640><c> to</c><00:22:18.880><c> give</c><00:22:19.000><c> it</c><00:22:19.119><c> to</c><00:22:19.180><c> you</c><00:22:19.240><c> in</c><00:22:19.319><c> the</c><00:22:19.460><c> World</c><00:22:19.579><c> English</c><00:22:19.880><c> Bible.</c>

00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:21.799
I<00:22:20.420><c> often</c><00:22:20.619><c> quote</c><00:22:20.799><c> from</c><00:22:20.960><c> a</c><00:22:21.039><c> great</c><00:22:21.180><c> version</c><00:22:21.400><c> of</c><00:22:21.519><c> the</c><00:22:21.619><c> Bible,</c>

00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:24.220
but<00:22:22.200><c> it's</c><00:22:22.400><c> very</c><00:22:22.680><c> similar</c><00:22:22.799><c> to</c><00:22:22.940><c> the</c><00:22:23.039><c> King</c><00:22:23.160><c> James</c><00:22:23.380><c> Version.</c>

00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:27.660
For<00:22:24.279><c> in</c><00:22:24.500><c> Christ</c><00:22:24.759><c> Jesus,</c><00:22:25.460><c> neither</c><00:22:25.619><c> circumcision</c><00:22:26.140><c> amounts</c><00:22:26.500><c> to</c><00:22:26.740><c> anything,</c>

nor<00:22:27.779><c> uncircumcision,</c><00:22:29.279><c> but</c><00:22:29.480><c> faith</c><00:22:29.980><c> working</c><00:22:30.660><c> through</c><00:22:31.619><c> love.</c>

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:36.059
He<00:22:33.359><c> brings</c><00:22:33.759><c> together</c><00:22:34.160><c> three</c><00:22:34.519><c> of</c><00:22:34.619><c> the</c><00:22:34.720><c> most</c><00:22:34.859><c> amazing</c><00:22:35.579><c> concepts</c>

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:37.180
of<00:22:36.319><c> scripture.</c>

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:41.099
In<00:22:37.839><c> just</c><00:22:38.160><c> three</c><00:22:38.359><c> words,</c><00:22:39.259><c> faith</c><00:22:39.660><c> working</c><00:22:40.319><c> through</c><00:22:40.799><c> love.</c>

00:22:41.140 --> 00:22:43.279
Well,<00:22:41.839><c> is</c><00:22:42.019><c> it</c><00:22:42.200><c> consistent</c><00:22:42.579><c> with</c><00:22:42.759><c> what</c><00:22:42.839><c> we're</c><00:22:43.000><c> talking</c><00:22:43.119><c> about?</c>

00:22:43.380 --> 00:22:44.319
Yes,<00:22:43.680><c> what's</c><00:22:44.000><c> the</c><00:22:44.140><c> beginning?</c>

00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:45.160
What's<00:22:44.759><c> the</c><00:22:44.960><c> start?</c>

00:22:45.299 --> 00:22:45.900
Where<00:22:45.440><c> do</c><00:22:45.539><c> we</c><00:22:45.700><c> start?</c>

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:46.759
What's<00:22:46.279><c> the</c><00:22:46.359><c> foundation?</c>

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:49.180
It's<00:22:47.299><c> faith,</c><00:22:47.599><c> the</c><00:22:47.720><c> same</c><00:22:47.900><c> as</c><00:22:48.039><c> Peter,</c><00:22:48.559><c> the</c><00:22:48.700><c> same</c><00:22:48.859><c> as</c><00:22:49.000><c> the</c><00:22:49.079><c> Lord</c>

00:22:49.180 --> 00:22:50.759
Jesus<00:22:49.519><c> Christ,</c><00:22:49.859><c> the</c><00:22:50.039><c> same</c><00:22:50.200><c> as</c><00:22:50.420><c> James.</c>

00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:52.119
It's<00:22:51.319><c> the</c><00:22:51.460><c> same</c><00:22:51.619><c> message.</c>

00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.599
But<00:22:52.519><c> here</c><00:22:52.700><c> he's</c><00:22:52.960><c> telling</c><00:22:53.079><c> us</c><00:22:53.680><c> that</c><00:22:54.400><c> faith</c><00:22:54.720><c> leads</c><00:22:55.099><c> to</c><00:22:55.519><c> works,</c>

00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.279
We're<00:23:00.579><c> having</c><00:23:00.720><c> a</c><00:23:00.960><c> discussion</c><00:23:01.279><c> yesterday</c><00:23:01.839><c> with</c><00:23:02.819><c> one</c><00:23:03.000><c> or</c><00:23:03.099><c> two</c>

And<00:23:07.119><c> it</c><00:23:07.940><c> was</c><00:23:08.140><c> said</c><00:23:08.519><c> very</c><00:23:09.059><c> importantly</c><00:23:09.559><c> that</c><00:23:10.480><c> faith</c><00:23:11.099><c> precedes</c><00:23:11.720><c> love.</c>

00:23:13.579 --> 00:23:15.519
Ultimately,<00:23:14.099><c> love</c><00:23:14.380><c> is</c><00:23:14.619><c> the</c><00:23:14.839><c> greatest</c><00:23:15.079><c> of</c><00:23:15.279><c> all.</c>

00:23:15.700 --> 00:23:18.059
We<00:23:15.859><c> know</c><00:23:16.019><c> that</c><00:23:16.140><c> from</c><00:23:16.299><c> first</c><00:23:16.500><c> Corinthians</c><00:23:16.819><c> 13,</c><00:23:17.400><c> but</c><00:23:17.720><c> faith</c>

00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:19.099
even<00:23:18.400><c> precedes</c><00:23:18.920><c> love.</c>

00:23:19.099 --> 00:23:20.339
Why<00:23:19.299><c> is</c><00:23:19.519><c> that?</c>

00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:24.359
Well,<00:23:20.900><c> there</c><00:23:21.059><c> is</c><00:23:21.259><c> a</c><00:23:21.460><c> love,</c><00:23:22.700><c> there</c><00:23:22.900><c> is</c><00:23:23.180><c> a</c><00:23:23.380><c> love</c><00:23:23.640><c> in</c><00:23:23.839><c> the</c><00:23:24.059><c> generic</c>

00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:25.259
understanding<00:23:24.900><c> of</c><00:23:25.119><c> love.</c>

00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.700
We<00:23:25.440><c> talk</c><00:23:25.640><c> about</c><00:23:25.940><c> natural</c><00:23:26.500><c> understanding</c><00:23:27.099><c> and</c><00:23:27.339><c> spiritual.</c>

00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:33.019
There<00:23:28.180><c> is</c><00:23:28.440><c> a</c><00:23:28.680><c> love</c><00:23:28.839><c> out</c><00:23:29.160><c> there</c><00:23:29.539><c> that</c><00:23:30.859><c> many</c><00:23:31.279><c> people</c><00:23:31.579><c> can</c><00:23:31.859><c> practice</c><00:23:32.339><c> that</c>

00:23:33.019 --> 00:23:34.920
has<00:23:33.200><c> no</c><00:23:33.380><c> basis</c><00:23:33.640><c> of</c><00:23:33.940><c> faith.</c>

00:23:36.380 --> 00:23:40.660
Humanitarian<00:23:36.980><c> people</c><00:23:37.579><c> practice</c><00:23:38.240><c> love</c><00:23:38.839><c> in</c><00:23:39.220><c> Africa</c><00:23:39.720><c> in</c><00:23:40.519><c> the</c>

00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:42.420
most<00:23:40.819><c> amazing</c><00:23:41.240><c> forms,</c>

00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:46.480
helping<00:23:43.599><c> destitute</c><00:23:44.200><c> and</c><00:23:44.700><c> desperate</c><00:23:45.339><c> people.</c>

00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:50.240
By<00:23:47.420><c> any</c><00:23:47.740><c> definition</c><00:23:48.160><c> of</c><00:23:48.319><c> the</c><00:23:48.500><c> word,</c><00:23:48.660><c> you</c><00:23:48.779><c> would</c><00:23:49.000><c> call</c><00:23:49.119><c> that</c><00:23:49.319><c> love.</c>

00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:54.539
Is<00:23:50.960><c> that</c><00:23:51.259><c> the</c><00:23:51.579><c> agape</c><00:23:51.940><c> that</c><00:23:52.940><c> the</c><00:23:53.140><c> Bible</c><00:23:53.339><c> is</c><00:23:53.380><c> speaking</c><00:23:53.660><c> of?</c>

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:59.460
What<00:23:55.119><c> changes</c><00:23:55.660><c> that</c><00:23:55.980><c> love</c><00:23:56.420><c> and</c><00:23:57.039><c> that</c><00:23:57.319><c> care</c><00:23:57.480><c> and</c><00:23:57.640><c> that</c><00:23:57.880><c> compassion</c><00:23:58.240><c> into</c><00:23:58.440><c> agape?</c>

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:05.660
Only<00:24:00.559><c> when</c><00:24:00.740><c> it's</c><00:24:01.920><c> based,</c><00:24:03.359><c> only</c><00:24:03.619><c> when</c><00:24:03.759><c> it's</c><00:24:04.099><c> based</c><00:24:04.299><c> on</c><00:24:04.519><c> a</c><00:24:04.720><c> connection</c>

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:08.799
and<00:24:06.500><c> on</c><00:24:06.680><c> a</c><00:24:06.920><c> relationship</c><00:24:07.500><c> with</c><00:24:08.099><c> the</c><00:24:08.279><c> Father</c><00:24:08.460><c> and</c><00:24:08.579><c> the</c><00:24:08.660><c> Lord</c>

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:10.180
Jesus<00:24:09.079><c> Christ.</c>

00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:12.519
So<00:24:11.059><c> faith</c><00:24:11.240><c> must</c><00:24:11.460><c> come</c><00:24:11.680><c> first.</c>

00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:15.880
And<00:24:12.859><c> from</c><00:24:13.279><c> faith,</c><00:24:14.319><c> if</c><00:24:14.539><c> faith</c><00:24:14.759><c> is</c><00:24:15.019><c> stillborn</c><00:24:15.480><c> then,</c>

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.160
well,<00:24:16.440><c> now</c><00:24:16.559><c> we're</c><00:24:16.900><c> thinking</c><00:24:16.900><c> first</c><00:24:17.200><c> Corinthians</c><00:24:17.460><c> 13,</c><00:24:18.059><c> aren't</c><00:24:18.059><c> we?</c>

00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.519
They'll<00:24:18.500><c> have</c><00:24:18.660><c> faith</c><00:24:18.859><c> to</c><00:24:19.039><c> move</c><00:24:19.180><c> mountains,</c><00:24:20.019><c> oh,</c>

00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:23.460
but<00:24:21.039><c> it</c><00:24:21.200><c> doesn't</c><00:24:21.440><c> change</c><00:24:21.799><c> who</c><00:24:22.039><c> I</c><00:24:22.220><c> am</c><00:24:22.460><c> and</c><00:24:22.799><c> doesn't</c><00:24:23.140><c> develop</c>

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:23.900
into<00:24:23.640><c> love.</c>

00:24:23.900 --> 00:24:24.480
It's<00:24:24.220><c> useless.</c>

00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:26.200
So<00:24:24.920><c> here</c><00:24:25.140><c> is,</c><00:24:25.339><c> it's</c><00:24:25.559><c> in</c><00:24:25.680><c> line</c><00:24:25.759><c> with</c><00:24:25.980><c> James.</c>

00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:29.799
This<00:24:26.559><c> faith,</c><00:24:27.039><c> if</c><00:24:27.200><c> it</c><00:24:27.299><c> is</c><00:24:27.440><c> in</c><00:24:27.579><c> our</c><00:24:27.779><c> hearts,</c><00:24:28.400><c> develops</c><00:24:28.619><c> into</c><00:24:28.859><c> love.</c>

00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.920
And<00:24:30.339><c> love</c><00:24:30.980><c> manifests</c><00:24:31.720><c> itself</c><00:24:32.400><c> through</c><00:24:33.519><c> works.</c>

00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:35.440
So<00:24:34.319><c> then</c><00:24:34.420><c> we've</c><00:24:34.559><c> got</c><00:24:34.640><c> Hebrews</c><00:24:34.920><c> 11.</c>

00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:38.339
Faith<00:24:35.859><c> is</c><00:24:36.279><c> the</c><00:24:36.700><c> connection</c><00:24:37.059><c> and</c><00:24:37.299><c> the</c><00:24:37.539><c> belief</c><00:24:37.700><c> in</c><00:24:37.859><c> the</c><00:24:38.079><c> reality</c>

00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:38.759
of<00:24:38.599><c> God.</c>

00:24:38.859 --> 00:24:41.079
Hebrews<00:24:39.079><c> 11</c><00:24:39.299><c> verse</c><00:24:39.519><c> 6</c><00:24:39.759><c> is</c><00:24:39.880><c> a</c><00:24:39.960><c> lovely</c><00:24:40.160><c> passage</c><00:24:40.460><c> to</c><00:24:40.660><c> show</c><00:24:40.779><c> that</c>

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.400
when<00:24:41.680><c> we</c><00:24:41.980><c> connect</c><00:24:42.220><c> with</c><00:24:42.460><c> God,</c><00:24:43.240><c> what</c><00:24:43.420><c> do</c><00:24:43.539><c> we</c><00:24:43.660><c> learn</c><00:24:43.900><c> first</c><00:24:44.220><c> from</c><00:24:44.440><c> God?</c>

00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:48.339
Well,<00:24:45.680><c> we</c><00:24:45.799><c> learn</c><00:24:45.940><c> this,</c><00:24:47.099><c> 1</c><00:24:47.279><c> John</c><00:24:47.480><c> 4.</c>

00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.359

00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:52.960
of<00:24:52.619><c> God.</c>

00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:56.440
And<00:24:53.480><c> everyone</c><00:24:53.819><c> who</c><00:24:54.259><c> loves</c><00:24:54.500><c> is</c><00:24:54.779><c> born</c><00:24:55.000><c> of</c><00:24:55.220><c> God</c><00:24:55.420><c> and</c><00:24:55.700><c> knows</c><00:24:56.059><c> God.</c>

00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:59.380
He<00:24:56.920><c> who</c><00:24:57.059><c> doesn't</c><00:24:57.339><c> love</c><00:24:57.579><c> doesn't</c><00:24:57.940><c> know</c><00:24:58.220><c> God</c><00:24:58.539><c> for</c><00:24:58.759><c> God</c><00:24:59.000><c> is</c><00:24:59.220><c> love.</c>

00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.799
So<00:24:59.740><c> when</c><00:24:59.900><c> we</c><00:25:00.119><c> develop</c><00:25:00.359><c> faith,</c><00:25:01.819><c> we</c><00:25:02.119><c> develop</c><00:25:02.500><c> a</c><00:25:02.880><c> knowledge</c><00:25:03.180><c> with</c><00:25:03.460><c> God.</c>

00:25:03.819 --> 00:25:07.660
And<00:25:03.960><c> I</c><00:25:04.079><c> think</c><00:25:04.180><c> it's</c><00:25:04.339><c> been</c><00:25:04.519><c> mentioned</c><00:25:04.779><c> already</c><00:25:05.099><c> that</c><00:25:05.440><c> that</c><00:25:05.700><c> knowledge</c><00:25:06.099><c> is</c><00:25:07.259><c> intimate.</c>

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:08.960
It's<00:25:08.519><c> a</c><00:25:08.700><c> connection.</c>

00:25:09.220 --> 00:25:13.740

00:25:15.460 --> 00:25:16.059
It's<00:25:15.740><c> natural.</c>

00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:17.119
It<00:25:16.279><c> just</c><00:25:16.619><c> follows.</c>

And<00:25:53.799><c> it</c><00:25:53.960><c> develops</c><00:25:54.240><c> into</c><00:25:54.599><c> works</c><00:25:55.059><c> of</c><00:25:55.740><c> faith,</c><00:25:56.799><c> works</c><00:25:57.119><c> that</c><00:25:57.460><c> show</c>

00:25:57.839 --> 00:25:59.220

00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:06.880
And<00:26:03.740><c> I</c><00:26:03.900><c> believe</c><00:26:04.000><c> this</c><00:26:04.200><c> is</c><00:26:04.380><c> the</c><00:26:04.539><c> message</c><00:26:05.259><c> that</c><00:26:05.680><c> we</c><00:26:05.859><c> are</c><00:26:06.019><c> receiving.</c>

00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.579
So<00:26:07.559><c> is</c><00:26:07.740><c> it</c><00:26:07.920><c> faith</c><00:26:08.119><c> and</c><00:26:08.400><c> works</c><00:26:08.700><c> like</c><00:26:09.380><c> salt</c><00:26:09.680><c> and</c><00:26:09.880><c> pepper</c><00:26:10.099><c> or</c><00:26:10.380><c> summer</c><00:26:10.599><c> and</c><00:26:10.839><c> winter?</c>

00:26:12.099 --> 00:26:15.000
I<00:26:12.380><c> would</c><00:26:12.539><c> put</c><00:26:12.640><c> it</c><00:26:12.799><c> to</c><00:26:12.900><c> you,</c><00:26:13.220><c> it's</c><00:26:13.460><c> seed</c><00:26:13.640><c> then</c><00:26:13.859><c> fruit,</c><00:26:14.799><c> body</c>

00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:20.559
The<00:26:17.819><c> relationship</c><00:26:18.259><c> is</c><00:26:18.579><c> dependent</c><00:26:18.980><c> and</c><00:26:19.359><c> causative.</c>

00:26:21.380 --> 00:26:24.319
And<00:26:21.380><c> as</c><00:26:22.200><c> mathematical</c><00:26:22.660><c> as</c><00:26:22.859><c> it</c><00:26:23.000><c> sounds,</c><00:26:23.359><c> I</c><00:26:23.420><c> hope</c><00:26:23.579><c> it</c><00:26:23.920><c> does</c><00:26:24.079><c> make</c>

00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:26.200
it<00:26:25.019><c> more</c><00:26:25.180><c> simple.</c>

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:33.140

00:28:01.819 --> 00:28:04.519
Sometimes<00:28:02.279><c> others</c><00:28:02.579><c> know</c><00:28:02.799><c> about</c><00:28:03.039><c> it,</c><00:28:03.160><c> sometimes</c><00:28:03.579><c> they</c><00:28:03.779><c> don't.</c>

on<00:28:24.420><c> why</c><00:28:24.859><c> we</c><00:28:25.160><c> suffer.</c>

00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:28.299
If<00:28:26.539><c> you</c><00:28:26.720><c> have</c><00:28:26.859><c> ever</c><00:28:27.000><c> been</c><00:28:27.180><c> through</c><00:28:27.359><c> a</c><00:28:27.599><c> personal</c><00:28:27.799><c> suffering</c><00:28:28.140><c> in</c>

00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:43.339
And<00:28:40.039><c> when</c><00:28:40.180><c> you</c><00:28:40.319><c> go</c><00:28:40.519><c> through</c><00:28:40.799><c> suffering,</c><00:28:42.299><c> perhaps</c><00:28:42.339><c> the</c><00:28:42.519><c> toughest</c><00:28:42.859><c> thing</c>

00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:45.859
is<00:28:44.299><c> the</c><00:28:44.460><c> why</c><00:28:44.720><c> question.</c>

00:28:45.940 --> 00:28:53.019
Why?<00:28:48.000><c> Why</c><00:28:48.380><c> is</c><00:28:48.700><c> this</c><00:28:48.960><c> happening?</c><00:28:50.279><c> Why</c><00:28:50.839><c> is</c><00:28:51.420><c> it</c><00:28:51.599><c> happening</c><00:28:51.880><c> to</c><00:28:52.140><c> me?</c>

00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:57.480

00:28:59.579 --> 00:29:03.759

00:29:03.779 --> 00:29:06.279

00:29:06.339 --> 00:29:09.299

00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:17.180
I<00:29:14.119><c> remember</c><00:29:14.420><c> when</c><00:29:14.759><c> going</c><00:29:15.079><c> through</c><00:29:15.359><c> some</c><00:29:15.720><c> extreme</c><00:29:16.039><c> difficulties</c><00:29:16.420><c> that</c><00:29:16.579><c> I</c><00:29:16.740><c> relate</c><00:29:16.940><c> to</c>

this<00:29:43.019><c> morning.</c>

00:29:44.940 --> 00:29:48.359

00:29:48.859 --> 00:29:50.160

00:29:50.220 --> 00:29:53.880

00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:58.140
We<00:29:54.539><c> went</c><00:29:54.700><c> through</c><00:29:54.920><c> a</c><00:29:54.960><c> time</c><00:29:55.160><c> of</c><00:29:55.480><c> extreme</c><00:29:56.000><c> trial</c><00:29:56.380><c> and</c><00:29:56.579><c> tribulation</c><00:29:57.039><c> with</c><00:29:57.859><c> our</c>

00:30:05.579 --> 00:30:09.519
Jacob<00:30:05.720><c> was</c><00:30:06.200><c> born</c><00:30:06.680><c> a</c><00:30:07.059><c> seemingly</c><00:30:07.359><c> normal</c><00:30:07.720><c> baby,</c><00:30:09.079><c> only</c><00:30:09.180><c> for</c><00:30:09.359><c> us</c>

00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:12.119
to<00:30:10.720><c> discover</c><00:30:10.720><c> less</c><00:30:11.220><c> than</c><00:30:11.400><c> 24</c><00:30:11.619><c> hours</c><00:30:11.859><c> later</c>

00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.859

00:30:19.339 --> 00:30:26.099
