00:00:40.060 --> 00:00:42.100
It<00:00:40.060><c> seems</c><00:00:40.340><c> like</c><00:00:40.619><c> something</c><00:00:40.820><c> we</c><00:00:41.039><c> say</c><00:00:41.179><c> every</c><00:00:41.439><c> morning</c><00:00:41.659><c> here</c><00:00:41.899><c> at</c>

the<00:00:46.280><c> weather.</c>

00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.500
It's<00:00:52.200><c> consistent</c><00:00:52.539><c> with</c><00:00:52.740><c> my</c><00:00:52.920><c> message</c><00:00:53.259><c> at</c><00:00:53.479><c> least.</c>

00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:59.799
Faith<00:00:56.640><c> in</c><00:00:56.880><c> suffering</c><00:00:57.159><c> is</c><00:00:57.320><c> what</c><00:00:57.439><c> we</c><00:00:57.619><c> looked</c><00:00:57.840><c> at</c><00:00:58.600><c> in</c><00:00:59.359><c> our</c>

00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:08.319
The<00:01:05.260><c> idea</c><00:01:05.579><c> is</c><00:01:05.859><c> that</c><00:01:06.340><c> when</c><00:01:06.819><c> suffering</c><00:01:07.180><c> or</c><00:01:07.480><c> trial</c><00:01:07.659><c> comes</c><00:01:07.959><c> in</c><00:01:08.159><c> our</c>

00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.079

00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.920
that<00:01:10.420><c> we</c><00:01:10.599><c> are</c><00:01:10.819><c> victorious</c><00:01:11.599><c> with</c><00:01:12.319><c> and</c><00:01:12.599><c> through</c><00:01:12.859><c> our</c><00:01:13.120><c> faith.</c>

00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.659
What<00:01:14.379><c> we</c><00:01:14.519><c> want</c><00:01:14.620><c> to</c><00:01:14.680><c> focus</c><00:01:15.099><c> on</c><00:01:15.540><c> this</c><00:01:16.000><c> morning</c><00:01:16.500><c> is</c><00:01:17.159><c> to</c><00:01:17.420><c> spend</c><00:01:17.579><c> a</c>

00:01:17.659 --> 00:01:20.000
bit<00:01:17.780><c> more</c><00:01:18.000><c> time</c><00:01:18.239><c> looking</c><00:01:18.519><c> at</c><00:01:18.799><c> that</c><00:01:19.060><c> passage,</c>

00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:24.620
that<00:01:20.620><c> I</c><00:01:21.099><c> guess</c><00:01:21.540><c> we've</c><00:01:21.799><c> all</c><00:01:21.920><c> read</c><00:01:22.140><c> and</c><00:01:22.340><c> maybe</c><00:01:23.319><c> do</c><00:01:23.879><c> a</c><00:01:23.939><c> bit</c><00:01:24.000><c> of</c><00:01:24.200><c> exposition</c>

00:01:24.620 --> 00:01:28.159
and<00:01:24.859><c> see</c><00:01:25.060><c> what</c><00:01:25.239><c> it</c><00:01:25.459><c> teaches</c><00:01:25.680><c> us</c><00:01:25.980><c> about</c><00:01:26.219><c> the</c><00:01:26.480><c> principles</c><00:01:26.959><c> of</c><00:01:27.299><c> trial.</c>

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.180
We<00:01:28.420><c> then</c><00:01:28.620><c> want</c><00:01:28.739><c> to</c><00:01:28.859><c> talk</c><00:01:28.980><c> about</c><00:01:29.219><c> some</c><00:01:29.420><c> of</c><00:01:29.540><c> the</c><00:01:29.680><c> things</c><00:01:29.859><c> that</c><00:01:30.079><c> we</c>

00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:32.379
can<00:01:30.459><c> believe</c><00:01:31.159><c> during</c><00:01:31.780><c> suffering</c>

00:01:32.379 --> 00:01:35.640
and<00:01:33.060><c> these</c><00:01:33.359><c> important</c><00:01:33.739><c> beliefs</c><00:01:34.159><c> that</c><00:01:34.340><c> we</c><00:01:34.500><c> can</c><00:01:34.739><c> have</c><00:01:35.099><c> that</c><00:01:35.480><c> can</c>

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.140
help<00:01:35.819><c> us</c><00:01:36.060><c> to</c><00:01:36.180><c> get</c><00:01:36.299><c> through</c><00:01:36.540><c> the</c><00:01:36.760><c> suffering.</c>

00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:40.400
Finally,<00:01:38.060><c> I</c><00:01:38.079><c> want</c><00:01:38.340><c> to</c><00:01:38.519><c> leave</c><00:01:38.700><c> you</c><00:01:38.879><c> with</c><00:01:39.120><c> some</c><00:01:39.400><c> techniques,</c>

00:01:40.459 --> 00:01:41.620
some<00:01:40.659><c> practical</c><00:01:41.159><c> techniques</c>

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:44.500
that<00:01:41.959><c> we</c><00:01:42.200><c> have</c><00:01:42.359><c> found</c><00:01:42.459><c> helpful</c><00:01:43.019><c> that</c><00:01:43.519><c> can</c><00:01:43.799><c> perhaps</c><00:01:44.079><c> help</c><00:01:44.260><c> you</c>

00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:46.359
during<00:01:44.680><c> a</c><00:01:44.859><c> time</c><00:01:45.099><c> of</c><00:01:45.500><c> trial</c><00:01:45.760><c> and</c><00:01:46.079><c> testing.</c>

00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:52.079
So<00:01:47.159><c> that</c><00:01:47.760><c> is</c><00:01:48.219><c> the</c><00:01:48.459><c> fourth</c><00:01:48.680><c> of</c><00:01:49.000><c> our</c><00:01:50.099><c> sessions</c><00:01:50.540><c> on</c><00:01:51.099><c> finding</c><00:01:51.439><c> faith,</c><00:01:51.939><c> the</c>

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:53.400
victory<00:01:52.299><c> of</c><00:01:52.540><c> faith.</c>

00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.959
And<00:01:55.560><c> you</c><00:01:56.040><c> will</c><00:01:56.280><c> see</c><00:01:56.400><c> it</c><00:01:56.659><c> shortly,</c><00:01:57.299><c> God</c><00:01:57.540><c> willing.</c>

00:02:03.939 --> 00:02:06.379
While<00:02:04.079><c> we're</c><00:02:04.420><c> finding</c><00:02:04.480><c> that</c><00:02:04.680><c> maybe</c><00:02:04.879><c> you</c><00:02:05.019><c> want</c><00:02:05.079><c> to</c><00:02:05.180><c> go</c><00:02:05.280><c> to</c><00:02:05.480><c> 1</c><00:02:05.599><c> Peter</c><00:02:05.859><c> chapter</c><00:02:06.260><c> 1</c>

00:02:06.379 --> 00:02:08.360
if<00:02:06.519><c> you</c><00:02:06.659><c> haven't</c><00:02:06.780><c> been</c><00:02:07.000><c> going</c><00:02:07.140><c> there</c><00:02:07.280><c> which</c><00:02:07.540><c> you</c><00:02:07.900><c> might</c><00:02:08.039><c> have</c><00:02:08.219><c> done.</c>

00:02:08.419 --> 00:02:12.879
1<00:02:08.639><c> Peter</c><00:02:08.900><c> chapter</c><00:02:09.219><c> 1</c><00:02:09.740><c> and</c><00:02:10.520><c> thanks</c><00:02:11.520><c> very</c><00:02:11.780><c> much.</c>

00:02:22.099 --> 00:02:24.639
Just<00:02:22.500><c> a</c><00:02:22.780><c> little</c><00:02:23.000><c> technical</c><00:02:24.120><c> hit</c><00:02:24.500><c> shot.</c>

00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:26.020
Is<00:02:24.800><c> there</c><00:02:24.879><c> nobody</c><00:02:25.020><c> to</c><00:02:25.219><c> come</c><00:02:25.319><c> over?</c>

00:02:47.020 --> 00:02:49.860
Right,<00:02:47.520><c> we're</c><00:02:47.639><c> going</c><00:02:47.680><c> to</c><00:02:47.780><c> have</c><00:02:47.840><c> to</c><00:02:47.939><c> just</c><00:02:48.099><c> go</c><00:02:48.199><c> with</c><00:02:48.360><c> one</c><00:02:48.520><c> there.</c>

00:03:05.580 --> 00:03:07.780
It's<00:03:05.900><c> really,</c><00:03:06.539><c> oh,</c><00:03:06.780><c> here</c><00:03:06.939><c> we</c><00:03:07.080><c> go.</c>

00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:09.120
I'll<00:03:08.340><c> have</c><00:03:08.360><c> to</c><00:03:08.520><c> turn</c><00:03:08.759><c> around.</c>

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.500
We<00:03:09.580><c> like</c><00:03:09.759><c> to</c><00:03:09.860><c> get</c><00:03:09.919><c> on</c><00:03:10.120><c> the</c><00:03:10.340><c> computer</c><00:03:10.500><c> and</c><00:03:10.659><c> up</c><00:03:10.840><c> there,</c><00:03:11.000><c> but</c><00:03:11.159><c> we've</c><00:03:11.360><c> only</c>

00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:12.800
got<00:03:11.639><c> it</c><00:03:11.800><c> behind</c><00:03:12.039><c> me.</c>

00:03:12.979 --> 00:03:16.580
So<00:03:13.379><c> hopefully</c><00:03:13.780><c> I'll</c><00:03:14.699><c> be</c><00:03:14.840><c> able</c><00:03:15.000><c> to</c><00:03:15.300><c> turn</c><00:03:15.479><c> and</c><00:03:15.780><c> speak.</c>

00:03:17.180 --> 00:03:18.900
So<00:03:17.300><c> we've</c><00:03:17.520><c> got</c><00:03:17.599><c> that</c><00:03:17.840><c> passage</c><00:03:18.180><c> that</c><00:03:18.379><c> we</c><00:03:18.580><c> refer</c><00:03:18.719><c> to.</c>

He<00:10:50.519><c> doesn't</c><00:10:50.779><c> say,</c><00:10:51.019><c> well,</c><00:10:51.220><c> there's</c><00:10:51.299><c> one</c><00:10:51.480><c> coming,</c><00:10:51.720><c> thankfully.</c>

00:10:52.460 --> 00:10:54.740
There's<00:10:52.679><c> one</c><00:10:52.860><c> coming</c><00:10:53.100><c> in</c><00:10:53.299><c> a</c><00:10:53.440><c> year's</c><00:10:53.799><c> time.</c>

00:10:55.539 --> 00:10:59.039
They<00:10:55.899><c> arrive</c><00:10:56.440><c> without</c><00:10:58.019><c> announcement.</c>

00:11:00.259 --> 00:11:03.620
They<00:11:00.700><c> encourage</c><00:11:01.139><c> the</c><00:11:01.419><c> followers</c><00:11:01.659><c> and</c><00:11:02.019><c> beg</c><00:11:02.259><c> them</c><00:11:02.580><c> to</c><00:11:02.820><c> remain</c><00:11:03.139><c> faithful.</c>

00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:06.460
They<00:11:04.220><c> told</c><00:11:04.519><c> them,</c><00:11:04.899><c> we</c><00:11:04.899><c> have</c><00:11:05.120><c> to</c><00:11:05.340><c> suffer</c><00:11:05.539><c> a</c><00:11:05.740><c> lot</c><00:11:05.879><c> before</c><00:11:06.179><c> we</c><00:11:06.320><c> can</c>

00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:07.240
get<00:11:06.600><c> into</c><00:11:06.799><c> God's</c><00:11:07.139><c> kingdom.</c>

00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:08.779
I<00:11:07.399><c> love</c><00:11:07.559><c> that</c><00:11:07.799><c> translation.</c>

00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.899
One<00:11:09.799><c> way,</c><00:11:10.460><c> I</c><00:11:10.740><c> guess</c><00:11:11.000><c> when</c><00:11:11.220><c> we</c><00:11:11.639><c> preach</c><00:11:11.860><c> the</c><00:11:12.039><c> gospel,</c><00:11:12.559><c> we</c><00:11:12.720><c> might</c>

00:11:12.899 --> 00:11:15.279
want<00:11:13.059><c> to</c><00:11:13.159><c> keep</c><00:11:13.240><c> this</c><00:11:13.440><c> one</c><00:11:13.559><c> back</c><00:11:13.720><c> a</c><00:11:13.860><c> little</c><00:11:14.000><c> bit</c><00:11:14.179><c> until</c><00:11:14.279><c> a</c><00:11:14.279><c> bit</c><00:11:14.419><c> later.</c>

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:17.879
But<00:11:16.919><c> that's</c><00:11:17.360><c> the</c><00:11:17.500><c> reality.</c>

00:11:18.259 --> 00:11:21.940
Once<00:11:18.539><c> you</c><00:11:18.720><c> know</c><00:11:18.940><c> you</c><00:11:19.100><c> want</c><00:11:19.240><c> the</c><00:11:19.440><c> kingdom</c><00:11:19.639><c> of</c><00:11:19.919><c> God,</c><00:11:21.120><c> we</c><00:11:21.440><c> have</c><00:11:21.639><c> to</c>

00:11:21.940 --> 00:11:24.840
suffer<00:11:22.139><c> a</c><00:11:22.360><c> lot</c><00:11:22.679><c> to</c><00:11:23.340><c> get</c><00:11:23.480><c> into</c><00:11:23.700><c> God's</c><00:11:24.080><c> kingdom.</c>

00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:26.139
It's<00:11:25.179><c> a</c><00:11:25.299><c> part</c><00:11:25.379><c> of</c><00:11:25.559><c> the</c><00:11:25.659><c> process.</c>

00:11:26.139 --> 00:11:28.679
We<00:11:26.600><c> read</c><00:11:26.779><c> in</c><00:11:26.919><c> the</c><00:11:27.080><c> passage</c><00:11:27.299><c> last</c><00:11:27.639><c> night,</c><00:11:28.039><c> men</c><00:11:28.039><c> are</c><00:11:28.320><c> forcing</c>

00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:34.980
Yes,<00:11:31.120><c> and</c><00:11:31.440><c> being</c><00:11:31.679><c> forced,</c><00:11:33.080><c> and</c><00:11:33.240><c> being</c><00:11:33.480><c> worked</c><00:11:33.840><c> on.</c>

00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.379
One<00:11:35.299><c> of</c><00:11:35.399><c> the</c><00:11:35.559><c> elders</c><00:11:35.919><c> answered</c><00:11:36.159><c> saying</c><00:11:36.480><c> unto</c><00:11:36.620><c> me,</c><00:11:37.019><c> who</c><00:11:37.139><c> are</c>

00:11:37.379 --> 00:11:39.519
these<00:11:37.559><c> which</c><00:11:37.740><c> are</c><00:11:37.919><c> red</c><00:11:38.039><c> and</c><00:11:38.139><c> white</c><00:11:38.399><c> robes,</c><00:11:38.799><c> and</c><00:11:38.879><c> whence</c><00:11:39.139><c> came</c><00:11:39.379><c> they?</c>

00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.320
And<00:11:39.639><c> I</c><00:11:39.799><c> said</c><00:11:39.879><c> unto</c><00:11:39.980><c> them,</c><00:11:40.240><c> sir,</c><00:11:40.639><c> thou</c><00:11:40.740><c> knowest.</c>

00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:44.980
He<00:11:41.799><c> said</c><00:11:41.919><c> to</c><00:11:42.059><c> me,</c><00:11:42.259><c> these</c><00:11:42.559><c> are</c><00:11:42.840><c> they</c><00:11:43.100><c> which</c><00:11:43.360><c> came</c><00:11:43.620><c> out</c><00:11:43.799><c> of</c><00:11:44.039><c> great</c><00:11:44.259><c> tribulation,</c>

00:11:45.379 --> 00:11:47.240
and<00:11:45.480><c> have</c><00:11:45.620><c> washed</c><00:11:45.799><c> their</c><00:11:46.039><c> robes,</c><00:11:46.360><c> and</c><00:11:46.500><c> made</c><00:11:46.659><c> them</c><00:11:46.919><c> white</c><00:11:47.100><c> in</c>

00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:47.860
the<00:11:47.340><c> blood</c><00:11:47.419><c> of</c><00:11:47.539><c> the</c><00:11:47.700><c> Lamb.</c>

00:11:48.019 --> 00:11:50.399
And<00:11:48.200><c> we</c><00:11:48.379><c> know</c><00:11:48.620><c> that</c><00:11:48.860><c> that</c><00:11:48.980><c> has</c><00:11:49.259><c> relevance</c><00:11:49.580><c> to</c><00:11:49.820><c> a</c><00:11:49.980><c> time</c><00:11:50.139><c> of</c>

00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:51.639
great<00:11:50.600><c> tribulation</c><00:11:51.080><c> that's</c><00:11:51.340><c> coming.</c>

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:57.000
But<00:11:52.539><c> it</c><00:11:52.659><c> has</c><00:11:52.919><c> relevance</c><00:11:53.240><c> to</c><00:11:53.500><c> all</c><00:11:53.720><c> saints</c><00:11:54.240><c> who</c><00:11:55.279><c> will</c><00:11:55.580><c> stand</c><00:11:55.779><c> with</c><00:11:56.000><c> white</c><00:11:56.299><c> garments</c><00:11:56.639><c> on.</c>

00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:00.700
And<00:11:57.259><c> what</c><00:11:57.379><c> they</c><00:11:57.639><c> will</c><00:11:57.700><c> all</c><00:11:57.820><c> have</c><00:11:57.980><c> in</c><00:11:58.240><c> common</c><00:11:58.779><c> is</c><00:12:00.299><c> that</c><00:12:00.460><c> through</c>

00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:03.700
suffering,<00:12:02.100><c> they</c><00:12:02.360><c> have</c><00:12:02.519><c> been</c><00:12:02.820><c> perfected.</c>

00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:07.259
Why?<00:12:04.379><c> Because</c><00:12:04.659><c> through</c><00:12:05.059><c> suffering,</c><00:12:05.799><c> their</c><00:12:05.980><c> faith</c><00:12:06.220><c> has</c><00:12:06.419><c> been</c><00:12:06.720><c> increased.</c>

00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.299
And<00:12:07.940><c> through</c><00:12:08.120><c> their</c><00:12:08.379><c> faith,</c><00:12:08.600><c> they</c><00:12:08.740><c> have</c><00:12:08.980><c> gained</c><00:12:09.179><c> the</c><00:12:09.419><c> righteousness</c><00:12:09.759><c> of</c><00:12:10.080><c> Christ</c><00:12:10.580><c> and</c>

been<00:12:11.500><c> made</c><00:12:11.799><c> perfect.</c>

00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:17.899
So<00:12:13.460><c> we</c><00:12:13.679><c> learn</c><00:12:14.120><c> that</c><00:12:15.120><c> testing</c><00:12:15.639><c> is</c><00:12:16.480><c> not</c><00:12:16.679><c> just</c><00:12:16.840><c> for</c><00:12:17.080><c> one</c><00:12:17.379><c> or</c><00:12:17.620><c> for</c>

00:12:17.899 --> 00:12:20.240
another,<00:12:18.779><c> but</c><00:12:19.039><c> for</c><00:12:19.360><c> everyone.</c>

00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.799
You<00:12:23.879><c> have</c><00:12:24.080><c> been</c><00:12:24.299><c> put</c><00:12:24.580><c> to</c><00:12:24.899><c> grief.</c>

00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:30.100
People<00:12:26.279><c> say</c><00:12:26.480><c> to</c><00:12:26.679><c> me,</c><00:12:27.340><c> what</c><00:12:27.580><c> makes</c><00:12:27.860><c> something</c><00:12:28.240><c> a</c><00:12:28.580><c> trial</c><00:12:28.820><c> or</c><00:12:29.139><c> a</c><00:12:29.379><c> test?</c>

00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:34.100
What<00:12:30.620><c> do</c><00:12:30.759><c> you</c><00:12:30.919><c> mean</c><00:12:31.080><c> when</c><00:12:31.179><c> you</c><00:12:31.379><c> talk</c><00:12:31.519><c> about</c><00:12:31.740><c> this</c><00:12:32.340><c> test,</c><00:12:32.899><c> this</c><00:12:33.279><c> trial?</c>

00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:36.600
Well,<00:12:34.639><c> Peter</c><00:12:34.879><c> is</c><00:12:35.139><c> telling</c><00:12:35.220><c> us</c><00:12:35.500><c> clearly</c><00:12:35.740><c> what</c><00:12:36.019><c> kind</c><00:12:36.200><c> of</c><00:12:36.360><c> tests</c>

00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:40.299
These<00:12:38.279><c> are</c><00:12:38.600><c> trials</c><00:12:38.960><c> of</c><00:12:39.399><c> grief.</c>

00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.799
The<00:12:41.440><c> word</c><00:12:41.740><c> means</c><00:12:42.320><c> to</c><00:12:42.840><c> grieve,</c><00:12:43.360><c> to</c><00:12:43.559><c> be</c><00:12:43.940><c> sorry,</c><00:12:44.960><c> to</c><00:12:45.299><c> experience</c>

00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:51.620
The<00:12:48.720><c> pain</c><00:12:49.059><c> we're</c><00:12:49.240><c> talking</c><00:12:49.460><c> about</c><00:12:49.659><c> is</c><00:12:49.820><c> not</c><00:12:49.980><c> just</c><00:12:50.259><c> physical</c><00:12:50.679><c> pain.</c>

00:12:52.019 --> 00:12:55.120
Of<00:12:52.259><c> course,</c><00:12:52.419><c> it's</c><00:12:52.659><c> far</c><00:12:52.759><c> more</c><00:12:52.960><c> than</c><00:12:53.080><c> that.</c><00:12:53.299><c> It's</c><00:12:53.600><c> emotional</c><00:12:54.100><c> pain.</c>

00:12:56.179 --> 00:13:00.019
You<00:12:56.320><c> know</c><00:12:56.539><c> when</c><00:12:56.720><c> you're</c><00:12:57.000><c> in</c><00:12:57.259><c> a</c><00:12:57.539><c> trial</c><00:12:57.759><c> of</c><00:12:58.299><c> suffering,</c><00:12:59.720><c> because</c>

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:01.500

00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:06.159
And<00:13:02.460><c> there</c><00:13:02.620><c> are</c><00:13:02.759><c> very</c><00:13:03.019><c> few</c><00:13:03.299><c> pains</c><00:13:03.940><c> that</c><00:13:04.580><c> do</c><00:13:04.799><c> not</c><00:13:05.000><c> take</c><00:13:05.259><c> complete</c><00:13:05.759><c> control</c>

of<00:13:06.340><c> you.</c>

00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:14.080

But<00:18:55.279><c> there</c><00:18:55.599><c> are</c><00:18:55.920><c> various</c><00:18:56.400><c> trials,</c><00:18:57.599><c> says</c><00:18:57.740><c> Peter.</c>

00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.680
There<00:18:58.940><c> are</c><00:18:59.240><c> trials</c><00:18:59.579><c> that</c><00:18:59.920><c> sit</c><00:19:00.200><c> deep</c><00:19:00.619><c> within</c><00:19:00.920><c> the</c><00:19:01.200><c> minds</c><00:19:01.460><c> and</c>

00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:15.960
And<00:19:13.680><c> so</c><00:19:13.920><c> trials</c><00:19:14.200><c> can</c><00:19:14.480><c> take</c><00:19:14.640><c> many</c><00:19:14.880><c> forms.</c>

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:19.579

00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:30.799
And<00:19:25.940><c> then</c><00:19:26.940><c> a</c><00:19:27.119><c> whole</c><00:19:27.339><c> other</c><00:19:27.599><c> set</c><00:19:27.779><c> of</c><00:19:28.079><c> trials</c><00:19:28.480><c> that</c><00:19:29.779><c> the</c><00:19:29.920><c> New</c><00:19:30.099><c> Testament</c><00:19:30.380><c> spends</c><00:19:30.680><c> a</c>

our<00:19:35.039><c> faith.</c>

00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.200
The<00:19:36.839><c> trials</c><00:19:37.099><c> that</c><00:19:37.359><c> come</c><00:19:37.539><c> because</c><00:19:38.019><c> we</c><00:19:38.440><c> have</c><00:19:38.579><c> to</c><00:19:38.720><c> stand</c><00:19:38.960><c> up</c><00:19:39.099><c> for</c>

the<00:19:39.339><c> things</c><00:19:39.500><c> of</c><00:19:39.740><c> God.</c>

00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:44.599
These<00:19:40.880><c> are</c><00:19:41.039><c> the</c><00:19:41.240><c> trials</c><00:19:41.480><c> that</c><00:19:41.799><c> primarily</c><00:19:42.700><c> Paul</c><00:19:43.140><c> was</c><00:19:43.559><c> experiencing.</c>

The<00:19:45.460><c> kind</c><00:19:45.640><c> of</c><00:19:45.900><c> trials</c><00:19:46.140><c> when</c><00:19:46.559><c> you're</c><00:19:46.960><c> doing</c><00:19:47.220><c> the</c><00:19:47.460><c> things</c><00:19:47.619><c> for</c><00:19:47.859><c> God.</c>

00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:52.180
The<00:19:48.680><c> very</c><00:19:48.839><c> time</c><00:19:49.119><c> when</c><00:19:49.279><c> you</c><00:19:49.660><c> would,</c><00:19:49.900><c> if</c><00:19:50.039><c> you</c><00:19:50.539><c> had</c><00:19:50.640><c> the</c><00:19:50.819><c> wrong</c><00:19:50.980><c> kind</c><00:19:51.180><c> of</c><00:19:51.380><c> thinking,</c>

00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.980
you<00:19:52.339><c> would</c><00:19:52.519><c> think,</c><00:19:52.799><c> well,</c><00:19:53.000><c> Lord,</c><00:19:53.259><c> this</c><00:19:53.480><c> is</c><00:19:53.619><c> for</c><00:19:53.819><c> you.</c>

00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:59.319
Surely<00:19:55.599><c> I</c><00:19:56.099><c> won't</c><00:19:56.339><c> experience</c><00:19:57.000><c> pain</c><00:19:57.359><c> and</c><00:19:57.660><c> suffering</c><00:19:57.900><c> in</c><00:19:58.079><c> this</c><00:19:58.259><c> process.</c>

00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.299
And<00:20:00.160><c> yet,</c><00:20:00.319><c> of</c><00:20:00.500><c> course,</c><00:20:00.680><c> that's</c><00:20:00.940><c> not</c><00:20:01.140><c> true</c><00:20:01.339><c> either.</c>

00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:06.380
But<00:20:02.480><c> even</c><00:20:02.700><c> if</c><00:20:02.819><c> you</c><00:20:03.000><c> should</c><00:20:03.240><c> suffer,</c><00:20:04.039><c> says</c><00:20:04.140><c> Peter,</c><00:20:04.880><c> for</c><00:20:05.220><c> righteousness'</c><00:20:06.099><c> sake,</c>

00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:07.819
you<00:20:06.700><c> are</c><00:20:06.880><c> blessed.</c>

00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.500
Don't<00:20:08.180><c> fear</c><00:20:08.380><c> what</c><00:20:08.539><c> they</c><00:20:08.859><c> fear,</c><00:20:09.720><c> neither</c><00:20:09.880><c> be</c><00:20:10.119><c> troubled.</c>

00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.400
So<00:20:11.140><c> there</c><00:20:11.299><c> is</c><00:20:11.480><c> a</c><00:20:11.720><c> trial</c><00:20:12.039><c> where</c><00:20:13.240><c> even</c><00:20:13.480><c> when</c><00:20:13.640><c> we</c><00:20:13.799><c> are</c><00:20:13.980><c> doing</c><00:20:14.160><c> that</c>

which<00:20:14.539><c> is</c><00:20:14.779><c> righteous,</c>

00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:20.839

00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:29.119
And<00:20:23.180><c> then</c><00:20:23.579><c> it</c><00:20:24.619><c> says</c><00:20:24.839><c> these</c><00:20:25.119><c> words,</c><00:20:26.559><c> if</c><00:20:27.019><c> need</c><00:20:27.619><c> be.</c>

00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:12.699
Sometimes<00:35:10.099><c> we</c><00:35:10.300><c> think</c><00:35:10.980><c> if</c><00:35:12.039><c> he</c><00:35:12.159><c> were</c><00:35:12.320><c> in</c><00:35:12.480><c> control,</c>

00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:16.000
He's<00:35:14.400><c> out</c><00:35:14.599><c> of</c><00:35:14.780><c> control.</c>

00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:20.539
It's<00:35:17.699><c> one</c><00:35:17.980><c> thing</c><00:35:18.199><c> too</c><00:35:18.440><c> many</c><00:35:18.639><c> and</c><00:35:18.880><c> he's</c><00:35:19.119><c> lost</c><00:35:19.360><c> control.</c>

00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:23.860
We<00:35:21.260><c> use</c><00:35:21.500><c> expressions</c><00:35:21.960><c> like</c><00:35:22.280><c> it</c><00:35:22.500><c> never</c><00:35:22.760><c> rains,</c><00:35:23.380><c> it</c><00:35:23.380><c> pours.</c>

00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:26.039
When<00:35:24.260><c> you</c><00:35:24.420><c> go</c><00:35:24.559><c> through</c><00:35:24.760><c> trials</c><00:35:25.019><c> of</c><00:35:25.260><c> tests,</c><00:35:25.440><c> it</c><00:35:25.579><c> almost</c><00:35:25.800><c> feels</c>

00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:26.800
like<00:35:26.320><c> waves.</c>

00:35:27.099 --> 00:35:29.119
That's<00:35:27.239><c> how</c><00:35:27.400><c> the</c><00:35:27.579><c> psalmist</c><00:35:27.860><c> describes</c><00:35:28.280><c> it.</c>

00:35:29.380 --> 00:35:32.559
He<00:35:29.539><c> says,</c><00:35:29.980><c> thou</c><00:35:29.980><c> slayed</c><00:35:30.300><c> me</c><00:35:30.440><c> in</c><00:35:30.539><c> the</c><00:35:30.639><c> lowest</c><00:35:30.880><c> pit</c><00:35:31.079><c> and</c><00:35:31.300><c> darkness</c><00:35:31.659><c> in</c><00:35:31.840><c> the</c><00:35:32.019><c> deeps.</c>

00:35:32.739 --> 00:35:34.840
Thy<00:35:32.780><c> wrath</c><00:35:33.219><c> lies</c><00:35:33.559><c> hard</c><00:35:34.079><c> upon</c><00:35:34.340><c> me,</c>

00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:37.760
and<00:35:35.179><c> thou</c><00:35:35.360><c> afflicted</c><00:35:35.860><c> me</c><00:35:35.960><c> with</c><00:35:36.179><c> all</c><00:35:36.460><c> thy</c><00:35:36.719><c> waves.</c>

00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:40.880
That's<00:35:38.920><c> how</c><00:35:39.099><c> affliction</c><00:35:39.460><c> comes,</c><00:35:39.900><c> doesn't</c><00:35:40.099><c> it?</c>

00:35:41.380 --> 00:35:43.880
It's<00:35:41.699><c> not</c><00:35:41.860><c> like</c><00:35:41.980><c> God</c><00:35:42.280><c> spreads</c><00:35:42.579><c> it</c><00:35:42.780><c> out</c><00:35:42.900><c> nicely.</c>

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:46.099
Ever<00:35:44.179><c> been</c><00:35:44.579><c> surfing</c><00:35:45.159><c> or</c><00:35:45.460><c> out</c><00:35:45.599><c> in</c><00:35:45.699><c> the</c><00:35:45.820><c> ocean?</c>

00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:47.079
Those<00:35:46.659><c> waves.</c>

00:35:47.380 --> 00:35:49.519
The<00:35:47.519><c> ocean</c><00:35:47.820><c> can</c><00:35:48.019><c> be</c><00:35:48.219><c> still</c><00:35:48.440><c> for</c><00:35:48.639><c> a</c><00:35:48.699><c> while.</c>

00:35:49.699 --> 00:35:51.880
Suddenly<00:35:50.099><c> a</c><00:35:50.380><c> set</c><00:35:50.519><c> of</c><00:35:50.760><c> waves</c><00:35:51.000><c> come.</c>

00:35:52.579 --> 00:35:54.920
If<00:35:52.719><c> you</c><00:35:53.480><c> get</c><00:35:53.599><c> knocked</c><00:35:53.820><c> over</c><00:35:54.039><c> by</c><00:35:54.199><c> the</c><00:35:54.320><c> first</c><00:35:54.619><c> wave,</c>

00:35:55.219 --> 00:35:57.840
you<00:35:55.219><c> look</c><00:35:55.420><c> back</c><00:35:55.639><c> and</c><00:35:55.840><c> there's</c><00:35:56.219><c> bigger</c><00:35:56.500><c> ones</c><00:35:56.760><c> coming.</c>

00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:00.639
Wave<00:35:59.920><c> after</c><00:36:00.260><c> wave.</c>

00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:03.360
The<00:36:01.179><c> life</c><00:36:01.400><c> of</c><00:36:01.679><c> Job</c><00:36:01.880><c> is</c><00:36:02.099><c> like</c><00:36:02.260><c> that,</c><00:36:02.380><c> isn't</c><00:36:02.519><c> it?</c>

00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:06.059
The<00:36:05.039><c> day</c><00:36:05.199><c> starts</c><00:36:05.500><c> pretty</c><00:36:05.820><c> bad.</c>

00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:09.039
You've<00:36:07.039><c> lost</c><00:36:07.219><c> your</c><00:36:07.440><c> oxen</c><00:36:07.840><c> and</c><00:36:08.000><c> your</c><00:36:08.239><c> servants</c><00:36:08.500><c> have</c><00:36:08.780><c> died.</c>

00:36:09.300 --> 00:36:10.800
Wave<00:36:09.519><c> number</c><00:36:09.840><c> one.</c>

00:36:10.940 --> 00:36:13.079
Then<00:36:11.239><c> the</c><00:36:11.500><c> next</c><00:36:11.739><c> message</c><00:36:11.940><c> comes</c><00:36:12.239><c> wave</c><00:36:12.639><c> number</c><00:36:12.920><c> two,</c>

00:36:13.099 --> 00:36:15.159
the<00:36:13.239><c> loss</c><00:36:13.360><c> of</c><00:36:13.500><c> your</c><00:36:13.699><c> servants</c><00:36:14.000><c> and</c><00:36:14.179><c> your</c><00:36:14.380><c> sheep.</c>

00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:17.340
Then<00:36:15.480><c> the</c><00:36:15.639><c> third</c><00:36:15.900><c> wave</c><00:36:16.159><c> comes</c><00:36:16.440><c> the</c><00:36:16.579><c> loss</c><00:36:16.739><c> of</c><00:36:16.920><c> his</c><00:36:17.079><c> servants</c>

00:36:17.340 --> 00:36:18.119
and<00:36:17.519><c> his</c><00:36:17.699><c> camels.</c>

00:36:18.460 --> 00:36:21.039
Then<00:36:18.599><c> the</c><00:36:18.739><c> fourth</c><00:36:18.940><c> wave</c><00:36:19.219><c> comes</c><00:36:19.480><c> the</c><00:36:19.619><c> loss</c><00:36:19.780><c> of</c><00:36:19.960><c> his</c><00:36:20.119><c> sons.</c>

00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:23.800
Each<00:36:21.460><c> time</c><00:36:21.920><c> he's</c><00:36:22.360><c> getting</c><00:36:22.519><c> knocked</c><00:36:22.760><c> further</c><00:36:23.099><c> and</c><00:36:23.340><c> further</c><00:36:23.519><c> back,</c>

00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:26.239
and<00:36:24.019><c> his</c><00:36:24.219><c> faith</c><00:36:24.360><c> has</c><00:36:24.559><c> been</c><00:36:24.739><c> tested</c><00:36:25.039><c> in</c><00:36:25.440><c> this</c><00:36:25.719><c> one</c><00:36:26.000><c> thing.</c>

00:36:26.539 --> 00:36:28.260
Is<00:36:26.739><c> God</c><00:36:26.860><c> still</c><00:36:27.039><c> in</c><00:36:27.280><c> control?</c>

00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:30.300
Does<00:36:29.079><c> he</c><00:36:29.239><c> still</c><00:36:29.519><c> know</c><00:36:29.619><c> what</c><00:36:29.719><c> he's</c><00:36:29.980><c> doing?</c>

00:36:30.300 --> 00:36:34.340
And<00:36:31.380><c> the</c><00:36:31.539><c> fifth</c><00:36:31.780><c> wave</c><00:36:32.039><c> comes,</c><00:36:32.599><c> he</c><00:36:32.780><c> loses</c><00:36:33.119><c> his</c><00:36:33.420><c> health.</c>

00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:37.619
And<00:36:36.199><c> you</c><00:36:36.320><c> think</c><00:36:36.420><c> that's</c><00:36:36.800><c> all?</c>

00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:40.699
You<00:36:37.780><c> think</c><00:36:37.960><c> when</c><00:36:38.360><c> God</c><00:36:38.639><c> hit</c><00:36:38.920><c> him</c><00:36:39.039><c> with</c><00:36:39.420><c> five</c><00:36:39.679><c> waves,</c>

00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:45.840
and<00:36:41.719><c> by</c><00:36:41.940><c> now</c><00:36:42.119><c> he</c><00:36:42.280><c> still</c><00:36:42.480><c> hasn't</c><00:36:42.679><c> believed</c><00:36:43.159><c> that</c><00:36:44.079><c> God</c><00:36:44.260><c> has</c><00:36:44.460><c> lost</c><00:36:44.599><c> control?</c>

00:36:46.820 --> 00:36:49.760
He<00:36:47.079><c> gets</c><00:36:47.420><c> the</c><00:36:48.360><c> worst</c><00:36:48.579><c> of</c><00:36:48.739><c> them</c><00:36:48.860><c> all.</c>

00:36:50.019 --> 00:36:51.639
He<00:36:50.280><c> loses</c><00:36:50.639><c> support.</c>

00:36:52.260 --> 00:36:54.940
His<00:36:52.480><c> wife</c><00:36:52.719><c> says,</c><00:36:53.260><c> do</c><00:36:53.260><c> you</c><00:36:53.579><c> still</c><00:36:53.780><c> retain</c><00:36:54.219><c> your</c><00:36:54.559><c> integrity?</c>

00:36:55.340 --> 00:36:57.440
Curse<00:36:55.880><c> God</c><00:36:56.199><c> and</c><00:36:56.679><c> die.</c>

00:36:58.059 --> 00:36:59.179
What?

00:36:59.539 --> 00:37:02.719
He<00:36:59.840><c> says,</c><00:37:00.940><c> shall</c><00:37:01.059><c> we</c><00:37:01.340><c> receive</c><00:37:01.639><c> good</c><00:37:01.840><c> at</c><00:37:02.000><c> the</c><00:37:02.179><c> hand</c><00:37:02.320><c> of</c><00:37:02.559><c> God</c>

00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:04.639
and<00:37:02.920><c> shall</c><00:37:03.099><c> we</c><00:37:03.320><c> not</c><00:37:03.519><c> receive</c><00:37:03.800><c> evil?</c>

00:37:05.980 --> 00:37:08.840
He's<00:37:06.579><c> almost</c><00:37:06.860><c> indignant,</c><00:37:07.400><c> six</c><00:37:07.659><c> waves.</c>

00:37:10.219 --> 00:37:11.960
God<00:37:10.400><c> is</c><00:37:10.599><c> still</c><00:37:10.719><c> in</c><00:37:10.960><c> control.</c>

00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:16.360
He<00:37:12.579><c> has</c><00:37:12.840><c> not</c><00:37:13.019><c> lost</c><00:37:13.440><c> his</c><00:37:13.900><c> control</c><00:37:14.480><c> in</c><00:37:15.199><c> my</c><00:37:15.420><c> life.</c>

00:37:16.860 --> 00:37:20.480
Believe<00:37:17.300><c> that</c><00:37:17.920><c> God</c><00:37:18.219><c> has</c><00:37:18.920><c> unlimited</c><00:37:19.400><c> power.</c>

00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:22.820
This<00:37:20.920><c> is</c><00:37:21.019><c> one</c><00:37:21.159><c> of</c><00:37:21.360><c> the</c><00:37:21.360><c> hardest</c><00:37:21.619><c> ones.</c>

00:37:23.139 --> 00:37:26.659
When<00:37:23.559><c> the</c><00:37:23.860><c> trial</c><00:37:24.079><c> seems</c><00:37:24.920><c> unsolvable,</c>

00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:28.599
when<00:37:27.300><c> in</c><00:37:27.500><c> our</c><00:37:27.699><c> own</c><00:37:27.960><c> human</c><00:37:28.260><c> mind,</c>

00:37:33.099 --> 00:37:37.039
God<00:37:33.360><c> says,</c><00:37:34.539><c> this</c><00:37:34.679><c> is</c><00:37:34.940><c> the</c><00:37:35.059><c> very</c><00:37:35.400><c> definition</c><00:37:35.960><c> of</c><00:37:36.219><c> faith.</c>

00:37:37.099 --> 00:37:38.800
This<00:37:37.320><c> is</c><00:37:37.539><c> the</c><00:37:37.699><c> point</c><00:37:37.840><c> I've</c><00:37:38.199><c> brought</c><00:37:38.380><c> you</c><00:37:38.639><c> to,</c>

00:37:38.900 --> 00:37:40.880
the<00:37:39.159><c> point</c><00:37:39.400><c> of</c><00:37:39.679><c> impossibility.</c>

00:37:41.539 --> 00:37:42.739
Because<00:37:41.820><c> at</c><00:37:42.079><c> that</c><00:37:42.380><c> point,</c>

00:37:43.139 --> 00:37:46.639
you<00:37:43.380><c> believe</c><00:37:44.219><c> that</c><00:37:45.320><c> only</c><00:37:45.559><c> the</c><00:37:45.860><c> impossibility</c>

00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:48.820

God<00:39:56.019><c> says,</c><00:39:56.400><c> take</c><00:39:56.440><c> now</c><00:39:56.679><c> your</c><00:39:57.179><c> son,</c><00:39:57.840><c> your</c><00:39:58.119><c> only</c><00:39:58.539><c> son,</c>

00:39:58.900 --> 00:40:04.260
whom<00:39:58.980><c> you</c><00:39:59.239><c> love,</c><00:39:59.400><c> Isaac,</c><00:40:01.099><c> and</c><00:40:01.260><c> sacrifice</c><00:40:01.820><c> him</c><00:40:02.300><c> up</c><00:40:02.659><c> on</c><00:40:02.840><c> Mount</c><00:40:02.980><c> Moriah.</c>

00:40:04.460 --> 00:40:07.320
Picking<00:40:04.679><c> up</c><00:40:04.880><c> the</c><00:40:05.079><c> story,</c><00:40:06.059><c> Abraham</c><00:40:06.460><c> being</c><00:40:06.739><c> tested,</c>

00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.199
and<00:40:07.739><c> he's</c><00:40:08.019><c> passing</c><00:40:08.260><c> the</c><00:40:08.420><c> test</c><00:40:08.599><c> of</c><00:40:08.820><c> faith</c><00:40:08.980><c> because</c><00:40:09.360><c> he</c><00:40:09.719><c> believes,</c>

00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:11.920
as<00:40:10.840><c> you</c><00:40:10.920><c> read</c><00:40:11.019><c> in</c><00:40:11.179><c> Genesis</c><00:40:11.460><c> 15,</c>

00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:16.000
he<00:40:12.280><c> believes</c><00:40:12.940><c> that</c><00:40:13.239><c> God</c><00:40:13.519><c> can</c><00:40:13.800><c> make</c><00:40:14.039><c> that</c><00:40:14.320><c> which</c><00:40:14.500><c> is</c><00:40:14.739><c> dead</c><00:40:14.920><c> alive.</c>

00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:18.179
Hebrews<00:40:16.420><c> 11</c><00:40:16.699><c> will</c><00:40:16.920><c> tell</c><00:40:17.079><c> us</c><00:40:17.219><c> this</c><00:40:17.360><c> again.</c>

00:40:18.539 --> 00:40:21.099
He<00:40:18.739><c> stretches</c><00:40:19.099><c> forth</c><00:40:19.360><c> his</c><00:40:19.599><c> hand,</c><00:40:20.440><c> and</c><00:40:20.480><c> he's</c><00:40:20.659><c> going</c><00:40:20.760><c> to</c><00:40:20.940><c> slay</c>

00:40:21.099 --> 00:40:22.099
his<00:40:21.360><c> son.</c>

00:40:22.699 --> 00:40:25.599
The<00:40:22.840><c> angel</c><00:40:23.019><c> of</c><00:40:23.139><c> the</c><00:40:23.239><c> Lord</c><00:40:23.420><c> says,</c><00:40:23.940><c> Abraham,</c><00:40:24.539><c> Abraham.</c>

00:40:25.659 --> 00:40:26.440
He<00:40:25.780><c> said,</c><00:40:26.000><c> here</c><00:40:26.099><c> am</c><00:40:26.300><c> I.</c>

00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:28.800
He<00:40:26.699><c> says,</c><00:40:26.980><c> lay</c><00:40:27.159><c> not</c><00:40:27.380><c> thine</c><00:40:27.579><c> hand</c><00:40:28.119><c> upon</c><00:40:28.460><c> the</c><00:40:28.679><c> lad,</c>

00:40:28.900 --> 00:40:29.940
neither<00:40:29.039><c> do</c><00:40:29.260><c> thy</c><00:40:29.380><c> anything</c><00:40:29.659><c> unto</c><00:40:29.840><c> him.</c>

00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:31.699
For<00:40:30.099><c> now</c><00:40:30.380><c> I</c><00:40:30.559><c> know</c><00:40:30.780><c> that</c><00:40:30.960><c> you</c><00:40:31.179><c> fear</c><00:40:31.360><c> me,</c>

00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:33.780
and<00:40:32.079><c> see</c><00:40:32.159><c> that</c><00:40:32.320><c> you</c><00:40:32.500><c> have</c><00:40:32.539><c> not</c><00:40:32.699><c> withheld</c><00:40:33.059><c> your</c><00:40:33.340><c> son,</c><00:40:33.500><c> your</c>

00:40:33.780 --> 00:40:34.280
only<00:40:34.019><c> son.</c>

00:40:34.539 --> 00:40:36.300
And<00:40:34.739><c> Abraham</c><00:40:35.059><c> lifted</c><00:40:35.340><c> up</c><00:40:35.519><c> his</c><00:40:35.699><c> eyes</c><00:40:35.900><c> and</c><00:40:36.139><c> looked,</c>

00:40:36.659 --> 00:40:39.320
and<00:40:36.659><c> behold,</c><00:40:37.599><c> behind</c><00:40:38.139><c> him</c><00:40:38.480><c> there</c><00:40:38.719><c> was</c><00:40:38.920><c> a</c><00:40:39.079><c> ram</c>

00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:41.500
caught<00:40:39.639><c> in</c><00:40:39.780><c> a</c><00:40:39.940><c> thicket</c><00:40:40.159><c> by</c><00:40:40.440><c> his</c><00:40:40.639><c> horns.</c>

00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:47.519
Perhaps<00:40:42.599><c> I'm</c><00:40:43.099><c> a</c><00:40:43.260><c> romanticist,</c><00:40:45.159><c> but</c><00:40:45.360><c> the</c><00:40:45.599><c> ram</c><00:40:45.760><c> is</c><00:40:45.960><c> already</c><00:40:46.199><c> there.</c>

00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:51.920
God<00:40:49.559><c> expects</c><00:40:50.079><c> Abraham</c><00:40:50.480><c> to</c><00:40:50.739><c> pass</c><00:40:50.940><c> the</c><00:40:51.119><c> test.</c>

00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:54.400
It's<00:40:52.679><c> almost</c><00:40:52.900><c> not</c><00:40:53.119><c> like</c><00:40:53.280><c> he's</c><00:40:53.420><c> sitting</c><00:40:53.579><c> there</c><00:40:53.780><c> in</c><00:40:53.980><c> anticipation.</c>

00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:56.900
He<00:40:54.940><c> expects,</c><00:40:55.460><c> and</c><00:40:55.460><c> the</c><00:40:55.639><c> ram</c><00:40:55.860><c> is</c><00:40:56.119><c> ready.</c>

00:40:58.420 --> 00:40:59.619
There's<00:40:58.699><c> the</c><00:40:58.880><c> ram.</c>

00:40:59.699 --> 00:41:03.679
Oh,<00:41:01.559><c> the</c><00:41:01.860><c> other</c><00:41:02.079><c> example</c><00:41:02.440><c> is</c><00:41:02.539><c> that</c><00:41:02.659><c> of</c><00:41:02.900><c> David.</c>

00:41:04.260 --> 00:41:07.039
David,<00:41:04.659><c> after</c><00:41:04.920><c> committing</c><00:41:05.440><c> sin</c><00:41:05.699><c> with</c><00:41:05.920><c> Bathsheba,</c>

00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:09.179
he<00:41:07.699><c> was</c><00:41:07.920><c> still</c><00:41:08.059><c> involved</c><00:41:08.519><c> in</c><00:41:08.679><c> a</c><00:41:08.880><c> test.</c>

00:41:09.300 --> 00:41:12.639
He<00:41:09.880><c> was</c><00:41:10.059><c> involved</c><00:41:10.519><c> in</c><00:41:10.760><c> a</c><00:41:10.820><c> test</c><00:41:11.119><c> of</c><00:41:11.480><c> his</c><00:41:11.679><c> relationship</c><00:41:12.159><c> with</c><00:41:12.360><c> God</c>

00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:14.159
and<00:41:12.800><c> whether</c><00:41:12.980><c> he</c><00:41:13.139><c> would</c><00:41:13.340><c> seek</c><00:41:13.579><c> for</c><00:41:13.800><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:41:14.500 --> 00:41:16.559
And<00:41:14.639><c> remember</c><00:41:14.780><c> how</c><00:41:15.019><c> Nathan</c><00:41:15.340><c> tells</c><00:41:15.860><c> the</c><00:41:16.159><c> story</c>

00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:18.760
and<00:41:16.920><c> then</c><00:41:17.179><c> says</c><00:41:17.360><c> to</c><00:41:17.599><c> David,</c><00:41:18.039><c> you</c><00:41:18.039><c> are</c><00:41:18.239><c> the</c><00:41:18.460><c> man,</c>

00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:22.300
and<00:41:19.260><c> David</c><00:41:19.619><c> falls</c><00:41:19.980><c> down</c><00:41:20.340><c> in</c><00:41:20.579><c> absolute</c><00:41:21.079><c> grief</c><00:41:21.500><c> and</c><00:41:21.760><c> repentance.</c>

00:41:22.619 --> 00:41:25.440
And<00:41:22.960><c> listen</c><00:41:23.139><c> to</c><00:41:23.340><c> what</c><00:41:23.900><c> Nathan</c><00:41:24.380><c> says.</c>

00:41:25.940 --> 00:41:27.699
Nathan<00:41:26.199><c> says</c><00:41:26.519><c> to</c><00:41:26.719><c> David,</c>

00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:33.699
Yahweh<00:41:28.840><c> also</c><00:41:29.440><c> hath</c><00:41:30.059><c> put</c><00:41:30.360><c> away</c><00:41:30.800><c> thy</c><00:41:31.400><c> sin,</c><00:41:31.719><c> thou</c><00:41:32.059><c> shalt</c><00:41:32.480><c> not</c><00:41:32.900><c> die.</c>

00:41:33.820 --> 00:41:35.860
Past<00:41:34.139><c> tense,</c><00:41:34.840><c> it</c><00:41:35.119><c> has</c><00:41:35.360><c> been</c><00:41:35.639><c> done.</c>

00:41:35.860 --> 00:41:37.579
David<00:41:36.539><c> hadn't</c><00:41:36.760><c> repented</c><00:41:37.139><c> until</c><00:41:37.380><c> then.</c>

00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:39.599
God<00:41:37.980><c> expected</c><00:41:38.699><c> David</c><00:41:39.039><c> to</c><00:41:39.219><c> do</c><00:41:39.420><c> that.</c>

00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:41.179
Your<00:41:39.960><c> sin</c><00:41:40.139><c> has</c><00:41:40.300><c> been</c><00:41:40.519><c> put</c><00:41:40.760><c> away.</c>

00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:43.000
And<00:41:41.480><c> then</c><00:41:41.579><c> he</c><00:41:41.639><c> goes</c><00:41:41.860><c> on</c><00:41:42.039><c> to</c><00:41:42.219><c> say</c><00:41:42.340><c> all</c><00:41:42.519><c> the</c><00:41:42.639><c> other</c><00:41:42.800><c> things</c>

00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:44.739
that<00:41:43.139><c> are</c><00:41:43.199><c> going</c><00:41:43.280><c> to</c><00:41:43.420><c> take</c><00:41:43.579><c> place.</c>

00:41:46.099 --> 00:41:48.980
So<00:41:46.239><c> God</c><00:41:46.480><c> expects</c><00:41:46.880><c> us</c><00:41:47.659><c> to</c><00:41:47.980><c> pass</c><00:41:48.260><c> the</c><00:41:48.480><c> tests</c>

00:41:48.980 --> 00:41:52.039
that<00:41:49.599><c> he</c><00:41:49.739><c> has</c><00:41:49.880><c> given</c><00:41:50.159><c> to</c><00:41:50.780><c> every</c><00:41:50.980><c> one</c><00:41:51.099><c> of</c><00:41:51.199><c> us.</c>

00:41:52.860 --> 00:41:56.179
And<00:41:53.119><c> finally,</c><00:41:54.019><c> God</c><00:41:54.099><c> believes,</c><00:41:55.420><c> we</c><00:41:55.539><c> ought</c><00:41:55.739><c> to</c><00:41:55.900><c> believe,</c>

00:41:56.260 --> 00:42:01.199
that<00:41:56.360><c> God</c><00:41:56.500><c> has</c><00:41:56.760><c> our</c><00:41:56.920><c> ultimate</c><00:41:57.260><c> good</c><00:41:57.900><c> at</c><00:41:58.800><c> the</c><00:41:59.199><c> purpose</c><00:41:59.639><c> of</c><00:42:00.059><c> our</c><00:42:00.300><c> test.</c>

00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:02.579
That<00:42:01.519><c> in</c><00:42:01.679><c> everything</c><00:42:01.920><c> he</c><00:42:02.119><c> does,</c>

00:42:02.579 --> 00:42:04.579
in<00:42:03.019><c> every</c><00:42:03.420><c> working</c><00:42:03.760><c> with</c><00:42:04.000><c> us,</c>

00:42:04.579 --> 00:42:06.480
ultimately<00:42:05.159><c> as</c><00:42:05.400><c> we've</c><00:42:05.639><c> been</c><00:42:05.780><c> talking</c><00:42:06.059><c> about,</c>

00:42:06.820 --> 00:42:10.340
that<00:42:07.139><c> test</c><00:42:07.699><c> is</c><00:42:08.300><c> bringing</c><00:42:08.519><c> us</c><00:42:09.340><c> to</c><00:42:09.559><c> increased</c><00:42:09.940><c> faith,</c>

00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:12.219
that<00:42:10.880><c> our</c><00:42:11.179><c> faith</c><00:42:11.519><c> may</c><00:42:11.780><c> be</c><00:42:12.059><c> full</c>

00:42:12.219 --> 00:42:14.579

00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:47.820
The<00:42:45.739><c> first</c><00:42:45.960><c> thing</c><00:42:46.139><c> is</c><00:42:46.340><c> this,</c><00:42:46.840><c> and</c><00:42:46.940><c> make</c><00:42:47.079><c> no</c><00:42:47.219><c> mistake,</c>

00:42:48.260 --> 00:42:50.280

Fear<00:42:51.539><c> and</c><00:42:51.800><c> faith</c><00:42:52.079><c> cannot</c><00:42:52.519><c> live</c><00:42:52.880><c> together.</c>

00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:56.219
And<00:42:54.539><c> so</c><00:42:54.639><c> long</c><00:42:54.800><c> as</c><00:42:54.920><c> we</c><00:42:55.079><c> give</c><00:42:55.239><c> place</c><00:42:55.579><c> to</c><00:42:55.900><c> fear</c>

00:43:02.380 --> 00:43:04.860
And<00:43:02.539><c> so</c><00:43:02.699><c> it</c><00:43:02.800><c> is</c><00:43:03.159><c> that</c><00:43:03.460><c> when</c><00:43:03.679><c> the</c><00:43:04.139><c> circumstances</c>

And<00:43:18.679><c> the</c><00:43:18.840><c> wonderful</c><00:43:19.159><c> example</c><00:43:19.639><c> as</c><00:43:19.840><c> we</c><00:43:19.940><c> have</c><00:43:20.019><c> up</c><00:43:20.159><c> on</c><00:43:20.320><c> the</c><00:43:20.480><c> screen</c><00:43:20.699><c> there</c>

00:43:20.940 --> 00:43:22.239
is<00:43:21.219><c> the</c><00:43:21.460><c> example</c><00:43:21.760><c> of</c><00:43:21.980><c> Peter.</c>

00:43:30.099 --> 00:43:31.760

00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:39.739
And<00:43:37.139><c> so</c><00:43:37.340><c> it</c><00:43:37.420><c> is</c><00:43:38.000><c> that</c><00:43:38.400><c> we</c><00:43:38.599><c> need</c><00:43:38.739><c> to</c><00:43:38.960><c> focus</c>

Those<00:43:43.880><c> things</c><00:43:44.280><c> which</c><00:43:44.579><c> will</c><00:43:44.840><c> remove</c><00:43:45.139><c> faith</c><00:43:45.440><c> from</c><00:43:45.679><c> us.</c>

This<00:44:29.099><c> is</c><00:44:29.679><c> the</c><00:44:29.880><c> legacy</c><00:44:30.219><c> of</c><00:44:30.420><c> our</c><00:44:30.739><c> history</c>

00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:36.159
The<00:44:34.659><c> victory</c><00:44:35.019><c> of</c><00:44:35.340><c> faith</c><00:44:35.500><c> in</c><00:44:35.659><c> the</c><00:44:35.840><c> past</c>

00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:41.340
And<00:44:38.460><c> this</c><00:44:38.619><c> is</c><00:44:38.800><c> a</c><00:44:38.960><c> very,</c><00:44:39.300><c> very</c><00:44:39.599><c> scriptural</c><00:44:40.340><c> technique.</c>

00:44:41.639 --> 00:44:43.820
In<00:44:41.920><c> many</c><00:44:42.159><c> of</c><00:44:42.340><c> the</c><00:44:42.559><c> Psalms</c><00:44:43.000><c> you'll</c><00:44:43.320><c> read</c>

00:44:43.820 --> 00:44:47.199

00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:50.940
Why?<00:44:49.460><c> He</c><00:44:49.639><c> says,</c><00:44:49.880><c> look</c><00:44:49.980><c> at</c><00:44:50.079><c> what</c><00:44:50.300><c> happened</c><00:44:50.539><c> there</c>

00:44:50.940 --> 00:44:53.159

00:44:56.619 --> 00:44:59.619
Remember<00:44:57.000><c> the</c><00:44:57.300><c> past</c><00:44:57.800><c> and</c><00:44:58.300><c> the</c><00:44:58.519><c> victory</c><00:44:58.820><c> that</c><00:44:59.039><c> God</c><00:44:59.260><c> wrought</c>

00:44:59.619 --> 00:45:03.699
and<00:44:59.980><c> believe</c><00:45:00.820><c> that</c><00:45:02.079><c> he</c><00:45:02.179><c> will</c><00:45:02.340><c> do</c><00:45:02.500><c> it</c><00:45:02.639><c> again.</c>

00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:06.500
God<00:45:04.860><c> has</c><00:45:05.239><c> not</c><00:45:05.500><c> forgotten.</c>

00:45:06.579 --> 00:45:08.699
We<00:45:06.800><c> must</c><00:45:07.079><c> remember</c><00:45:07.480><c> the</c><00:45:07.699><c> past.</c>

00:45:09.300 --> 00:45:10.820
David<00:45:09.539><c> says</c><00:45:09.800><c> in</c><00:45:10.000><c> Psalm</c><00:45:10.219><c> 77,</c>

00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:12.800
I<00:45:11.159><c> will</c><00:45:11.460><c> remember</c><00:45:11.760><c> the</c><00:45:12.039><c> works</c><00:45:12.260><c> of</c><00:45:12.460><c> the</c><00:45:12.579><c> Lord.</c>

00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:15.699
Surely<00:45:13.519><c> I</c><00:45:13.780><c> will</c><00:45:14.059><c> remember</c><00:45:14.380><c> your</c><00:45:14.800><c> wonders</c><00:45:15.199><c> of</c><00:45:15.460><c> old,</c>

00:45:15.980 --> 00:45:17.420
both<00:45:16.239><c> in</c><00:45:16.460><c> terms</c><00:45:16.679><c> of</c><00:45:16.820><c> what</c><00:45:16.920><c> he's</c><00:45:17.099><c> done</c>

00:45:17.420 --> 00:45:18.840
and<00:45:17.619><c> what</c><00:45:17.699><c> we</c><00:45:17.900><c> read</c><00:45:18.000><c> in</c><00:45:18.119><c> the</c><00:45:18.219><c> word</c><00:45:18.320><c> of</c><00:45:18.579><c> God</c>

00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:22.380
and<00:45:19.179><c> what</c><00:45:19.300><c> he's</c><00:45:19.420><c> done</c><00:45:19.619><c> for</c><00:45:19.719><c> us</c><00:45:20.039><c> personally</c><00:45:20.500><c> in</c><00:45:21.000><c> our</c><00:45:21.280><c> lives.</c>

00:45:23.539 --> 00:45:25.940
And<00:45:23.739><c> then,</c><00:45:25.219><c> as</c><00:45:25.420><c> we</c><00:45:25.559><c> all</c><00:45:25.760><c> know,</c>

00:45:29.219 --> 00:45:30.239
We'll<00:45:29.480><c> talk</c><00:45:29.619><c> more</c><00:45:29.820><c> about</c><00:45:30.079><c> this</c>

00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:31.539
when<00:45:30.340><c> we</c><00:45:30.420><c> look</c><00:45:30.539><c> at</c><00:45:30.639><c> the</c><00:45:30.699><c> Lord</c><00:45:30.860><c> Jesus</c><00:45:31.219><c> Christ.</c>

00:45:34.019 --> 00:45:35.760
on<00:45:34.500><c> the</c><00:45:34.719><c> hope</c><00:45:34.880><c> that</c><00:45:35.019><c> he</c><00:45:35.139><c> has</c><00:45:35.280><c> given</c><00:45:35.420><c> us,</c>

00:45:36.059 --> 00:45:38.539
on<00:45:36.179><c> that</c><00:45:36.420><c> time</c><00:45:36.639><c> when</c><00:45:36.940><c> suffering</c><00:45:37.239><c> and</c><00:45:37.559><c> pain</c><00:45:37.739><c> will</c><00:45:37.900><c> be</c><00:45:38.079><c> taken</c><00:45:38.320><c> away.</c>

00:45:38.900 --> 00:45:40.840
And<00:45:39.300><c> I'm</c><00:45:39.500><c> not</c><00:45:39.860><c> talking</c><00:45:39.980><c> about</c><00:45:40.260><c> this</c><00:45:40.480><c> again.</c>

00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:42.539

00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:45.840
I<00:45:42.719><c> remember</c><00:45:43.320><c> waiting</c><00:45:43.739><c> in</c><00:45:44.960><c> a</c><00:45:45.159><c> waiting</c><00:45:45.440><c> theatre,</c>

00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:40.159
And<00:46:39.059><c> we</c><00:46:39.219><c> do</c><00:46:39.400><c> well</c><00:46:39.639><c> to</c><00:46:39.860><c> do</c><00:46:39.980><c> that</c>

00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:12.739

00:47:13.030 --> 00:47:17.440
These<00:47:13.360><c> are</c><00:47:13.920><c> amazing</c><00:47:14.579><c> promises</c><00:47:15.059><c> and</c><00:47:15.380><c> they</c><00:47:15.699><c> are</c><00:47:16.039><c> for</c><00:47:16.139><c> us</c><00:47:16.480><c> today.</c>

00:47:19.059 --> 00:47:21.280

00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:24.460
And<00:47:22.260><c> we'll</c><00:47:22.400><c> just</c><00:47:22.579><c> repeat</c><00:47:22.800><c> them</c><00:47:23.000><c> over</c><00:47:23.219><c> and</c><00:47:23.280><c> over</c><00:47:23.480><c> again.</c>

00:47:25.260 --> 00:47:28.619
So<00:47:25.360><c> that</c><00:47:25.760><c> my</c><00:47:26.219><c> focus</c><00:47:26.599><c> is</c><00:47:26.860><c> on</c><00:47:27.599><c> God</c>

00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:35.960
Brethren<00:47:34.159><c> and</c><00:47:34.360><c> sisters,</c><00:47:34.780><c> faith</c><00:47:34.840><c> saves.</c>

00:47:36.380 --> 00:47:39.659

00:47:40.099 --> 00:47:41.739
God<00:47:40.699><c> will</c><00:47:41.000><c> bring</c><00:47:41.239><c> suffering</c>

00:47:41.739 --> 00:47:44.800

00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:47.860
The<00:47:45.179><c> question</c><00:47:45.539><c> is,</c><00:47:46.639><c> how</c><00:47:46.920><c> will</c><00:47:47.099><c> we</c><00:47:47.360><c> respond</c>

00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:52.139
What<00:47:50.460><c> will</c><00:47:50.639><c> it</c><00:47:50.900><c> say</c><00:47:51.099><c> about</c><00:47:51.340><c> our</c><00:47:51.619><c> beliefs?</c>

00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:54.320
