Speaker#1:
00:00:00.0 – 00:00:01.82
Before I start I just want to

Speaker#2:
00:00:02.279 – 00:00:05.23
share a little bit of a witness

Speaker#1:
00:00:05.239 – 00:00:10.85
that I’ve seen about Pete’s ministry and pastor My Torres And this happened

Speaker#2:
00:00:10.859 – 00:00:12.59
when a number of the

Speaker#1:
00:00:12.6 – 00:00:14.119
gentlemen in our church

Speaker#2:
00:00:14.13 – 00:00:16.77
who appreciate what God

Speaker#1:
00:00:16.78 – 00:00:19.829
has gifted through technology called

Speaker#2:
00:00:19.84 – 00:00:20.899
motorcycles

Speaker#1:
00:00:21.399 – 00:00:24.989
decided to go out and ride their motorcycles one day

Speaker#1:
00:00:25.409 – 00:00:26.27
And

Speaker#2:
00:00:26.52 – 00:00:28.36
a number of them came and were

Speaker#1:
00:00:28.37 – 00:00:32.4
telling me the stories of what happened And two of them showed

Speaker#2:
00:00:32.409 – 00:00:53.439
up before the third person And next thing you know Pastor Mike was using the techniques that he learned at the school of ministry And he and actually I think it was Pastor Dave showed up and Mike had already seen somebody go into a what was it a gas station And he said I’m going to pray for that guy when

Speaker#1:
00:00:53.45 – 00:00:54.38
he comes out

Speaker#1:
00:00:54.529 – 00:01:09.639
and he used a technique that he learned called good cop bad cop I believe is that correct And next thing you know they’re praying for this gentleman and you know and then my interpretation which you can ask pastor David if it’s accurate But

Speaker#2:
00:01:09.65 – 00:01:11.62
that lit a fire in Pastor David And next

Speaker#1:
00:01:11.629 – 00:01:13.519
thing you know he’s ministering to somebody

Speaker#2:
00:01:13.529 – 00:01:16.629
else And then Paul shows up and he said oh my God

Speaker#1:
00:01:16.639 – 00:01:17.87
what is happening here

Speaker#1:
00:01:18.15 – 00:01:30.15
And it was just the fruit of peace ministry in Pastor Mike’s life That was a catalyst that caused encounters to just happen out like

Speaker#2:
00:01:30.309 – 00:01:32.25
totally not planned not

Speaker#1:
00:01:32.26 – 00:01:35.639
expected It just becomes naturally who you are

Speaker#1:
00:01:36.16 – 00:01:38.459
soup Well naturally who you are

Speaker#1:
00:01:38.989 – 00:01:45.97
So with that I’m just gonna turn to the Lord and and seek his presence because we need to meet Jesus So Lord we

Speaker#2:
00:01:45.98 – 00:01:46.97
just come before you

Speaker#1:
00:01:46.98 – 00:01:52.97
and that’s exactly what we want We want to hear you We want to hear from you We want to meet with you and we want

Speaker#2:
00:01:53.129 – 00:01:53.98
as you said

Speaker#1:
00:01:53.989 – 00:02:05.54
if you if we abide in you and your word abides in us then we will bear much fruit So we just pray Lord God that we would abide in you and your word would abide in us and that we would bear much fruit

Speaker#1:
00:02:05.739 – 00:02:11.679
and that you would reveal the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives Amen

Speaker#2:
00:02:12.839 – 00:02:17.149
So the title of today’s message is raising sons and daughters of liberty

Speaker#1:
00:02:18.589 – 00:02:19.69
I couldn’t help think

Speaker#2:
00:02:19.699 – 00:02:22.38
about that title this morning And about those three

Speaker#1:
00:02:22.389 – 00:02:25.589
gentlemen that went out on motorcycles and I was telling him this morning you

Speaker#2:
00:02:25.6 – 00:02:28.83
should get leather jackets and patches made sons of liberty

Speaker#1:
00:02:29.199 – 00:02:31.58
and put you know a scripture passage on it

Speaker#2:
00:02:32.5 – 00:02:39.369
But we began last week by asking the question why did Jesus come to the earth or why did Jesus say he came to the earth

Speaker#2:
00:02:40.009 – 00:02:51.36
And as we explored that question we see that he says that he came to kindle fire on the earth and how passionate he is to see that fire kindled

Speaker#2:
00:02:52.199 – 00:02:58.509
And if that is why Jesus came according to Jesus then it must be really important

Speaker#2:
00:02:59.169 – 00:03:12.649
If it was something that drove a passion in him then lord reproduce that passion in us And we discovered that that fire that he sought to light was the fire of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers

Speaker#2:
00:03:13.52 – 00:03:19.809
So that just gives us a little bit of a perspective of how important the baptism of the Holy Spirit is

Speaker#2:
00:03:20.61 – 00:03:35.66
And we kind of contrasted that with the apostle John what he said was the purpose of Jesus coming to earth And I like that reason as well Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil

Speaker#2:
00:03:36.589 – 00:03:55.25
and that is exciting because Jesus is destroying the works of the devil It says that Christ is seated on a throne and the father is putting every enemy under his feet and the last enemy to be destroyed is death And that’s why scripture elsewhere says that the God of peace will soon crush Satan

Speaker#1:
00:03:55.46 – 00:03:56.96
underneath your feet

Speaker#2:
00:03:57.49 – 00:04:02.5
Well what does that mean It means every what Jesus proclaimed when he began his

Speaker#1:
00:04:02.509 – 00:04:09.36
public ministry The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach good news he is I

Speaker#2:
00:04:09.369 – 00:04:11.429
have come to spring liberty to

Speaker#1:
00:04:11.44 – 00:04:12.619
the captives

Speaker#1:
00:04:13.339 – 00:04:34.35
and that ministry is still going on through the power of the Holy Spirit in his church today That’s why we call it a worldwide liberation movement The fire of the Holy Spirit is destroying a wicked world in bondage to sin and setting captives free and what a privilege and what an honor it is to be part of that work isn’t it

Speaker#1:
00:04:34.809 – 00:04:36.79
Everything that robs people

Speaker#2:
00:04:36.799 – 00:04:47.619
of life everything that destroys human worth and human dignity everything that robs people of what Christ has freely given them and what he designed us

Speaker#1:
00:04:47.63 – 00:04:48.39
for

Speaker#1:
00:04:48.929 – 00:04:56.14
is totally destroyed through the gospel of Jesus Christ When people surrender their hearts to him

Speaker#1:
00:04:57.25 – 00:05:01.589
and surrender to him as the Lord of their lives

Speaker#1:
00:05:02.589 – 00:05:05.329
believing that Jesus died for their sins

Speaker#1:
00:05:05.929 – 00:05:07.959
and say Lord I just want to live for you

Speaker#1:
00:05:08.6 – 00:05:10.369
I surrender all to you Lord

Speaker#1:
00:05:10.929 – 00:05:13.35
my life is no longer mine It is yours

Speaker#1:
00:05:14.019 – 00:05:15.809
Rule and reign over me Lord

Speaker#1:
00:05:17.25 – 00:05:19.73
All of a sudden everything

Speaker#1:
00:05:20.25 – 00:05:27.72
that Christ died to give us becomes accessible through the Holy Spirit when we believe and we surrender

Speaker#1:
00:05:29.109 – 00:05:31.7
the fire will liberate the world

Speaker#1:
00:05:32.42 – 00:05:34.47
from the bondage of corruption

Speaker#1:
00:05:35.57 – 00:05:42.26
That’s what Romans tells us The world is growing and waiting to be delivered from the bondage of corruption

Speaker#1:
00:05:42.79 – 00:05:47.049
through the glorious liberty of the sons and daughters of God

Speaker#1:
00:05:49.959 – 00:05:51.67
must be the static electricity

Speaker#2:
00:05:53.94 – 00:05:58.47
Jesus’s teachings are aimed at raising the sons and daughters

Speaker#2:
00:06:03.269 – 00:06:21.809
Jesus’s teachings are aimed at raising the sons and daughters of liberty We can see it in Matthew 5 13 through 16 you are the salt of the earth But if the salt loses its flavor how shall it be seasoned It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men

Speaker#2:
00:06:21.82 – 00:06:40.369
You are the light of the world A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket put on a lamp stand and it gives light to all who are in the house Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works

Speaker#1:
00:06:41.19 – 00:06:43.109
and glorify your father in heaven

Speaker#2:
00:06:43.869 – 00:07:10.94
Isn’t that an awesome passage Jesus went in to the sermon is we call the sermon on the mount and it really is kind of a a reiteration of Mount and I and the giving of the law with the 10 commandments and then the beatitudes and then there’s a rolling out of how do we live this out What does this mean And and I like what Jesus says right at the very beginning you are the salt of the earth

Speaker#2:
00:07:12.14 – 00:07:15.529
It doesn’t say try to be the salt of the earth

Speaker#2:
00:07:16.929 – 00:07:23.91
You see scripture is so important to really let it have an impact on us when we don’t take

Speaker#1:
00:07:23.92 – 00:07:24.869
it the wrong way

Speaker#2:
00:07:25.0 – 00:07:26.839
You know we can take things that people say the

Speaker#1:
00:07:26.85 – 00:07:29.94
wrong way and we do it all the time and we

Speaker#2:
00:07:29.95 – 00:07:37.88
can even take the things that God has spoken to us in his word the wrong way Right You are the salt of the earth

Speaker#2:
00:07:38.7 – 00:07:46.57
But if the salt loses its flavor how shall it be seasoned It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men

Speaker#2:
00:07:48.01 – 00:07:49.79
Does that sound like a hard word

Speaker#2:
00:07:50.829 – 00:07:52.41
How does that make you feel

Speaker#1:
00:07:53.709 – 00:07:57.579
Does that make you feel Oh my gosh I’m not living up to it

Speaker#1:
00:07:58.209 – 00:07:59.549
I’m not good enough

Speaker#1:
00:08:00.25 – 00:08:05.44
Other people are the salt of the world but I’m not really the salt I know how I’ve lost my saltiness

Speaker#2:
00:08:06.25 – 00:08:12.2
You see what I’m saying You see how we can take God’s word and instead of it being life to us we can turn

Speaker#1:
00:08:12.209 – 00:08:13.25
it into death

Speaker#1:
00:08:14.929 – 00:08:19.019
But he says you are the salt of the earth But I do believe

Speaker#2:
00:08:19.029 – 00:08:20.049
that that next little

Speaker#1:
00:08:20.059 – 00:08:22.14
clause is in there because

Speaker#2:
00:08:22.829 – 00:08:25.649
we see it in the end of the sermon of the mountain I’m not going to get

Speaker#1:
00:08:25.66 – 00:08:30.97
into it It’s the new life that we have in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit

Speaker#2:
00:08:31.07 – 00:08:31.89
makes us

Speaker#1:
00:08:31.899 – 00:08:34.26
the salt of the earth and the light of the world

Speaker#1:
00:08:34.848 – 00:08:42.789
And there’s a true church and there’s a false church and there’s always been a true church and there’s always been a false church And one of the professors said that

Speaker#2:
00:08:43.129 – 00:08:45.568
in every church on Sunday mornings there’s true

Speaker#1:
00:08:45.578 – 00:08:48.39
believers unbelievers and make believers

Speaker#1:
00:08:48.909 – 00:08:49.59
right

Speaker#2:
00:08:49.809 – 00:09:05.28
But but a lot of the misunderstandings with people today and culture and society comes from the fact that they don’t discern that there is a true church and a false church There’s a church of power and a church of piety is a term that people often use

Speaker#2:
00:09:05.65 – 00:09:20.4
And if it’s not authentic if it doesn’t have the authentic born again experience plus the Holy Spirit then it’s inauthentic according to God’s word And if it’s inauthentic then it isn’t salt and light

Speaker#2:
00:09:20.95 – 00:09:40.78
Does that make sense So this passage is not so much I think meant to make us feel bad If we don’t feel like we’re living up to the way we’re supposed to live it’s meant to give us discernment Is there life is it authentic Have people genuinely passed from death to life and been born again And if not

Speaker#2:
00:09:41.63 – 00:09:43.809
it’s an invitation to be born again

Speaker#2:
00:09:44.71 – 00:09:56.4
And if we are not full of the Holy Spirit it’s an invitation to be full of the Holy Spirit God the father is not condemning the world He’s inviting us to reconciliation

Speaker#1:
00:09:56.919 – 00:09:58.69
through his son Jesus Christ

Speaker#1:
00:09:59.469 – 00:10:00.53
and feeling bad

Speaker#2:
00:10:00.539 – 00:10:01.409
about things

Speaker#1:
00:10:01.419 – 00:10:04.039
never helps you for the most part

Speaker#1:
00:10:04.94 – 00:10:10.76
but humbly believe in God’s word and surrendering to him and trusting him

Speaker#2:
00:10:10.869 – 00:10:11.909
And sometimes maybe

Speaker#1:
00:10:11.919 – 00:10:14.2
you do need to do a little wrestling with God

Speaker#2:
00:10:14.909 – 00:10:18.739
because the more we understand what it means to be a son and

Speaker#1:
00:10:18.75 – 00:10:19.809
daughter of God

Speaker#2:
00:10:19.82 – 00:10:22.9
we start to get a vision of who we want to be

Speaker#2:
00:10:23.63 – 00:10:27.51
And when we see ourselves falling short instead of going and feeling bad and

Speaker#1:
00:10:27.52 – 00:10:28.52
giving up and walking

Speaker#2:
00:10:28.53 – 00:10:29.64
away what

Speaker#1:
00:10:29.65 – 00:10:32.559
we do is we run to this place called the throne of grace

Speaker#1:
00:10:33.549 – 00:10:34.46
What do you mean

Speaker#1:
00:10:35.09 – 00:10:35.869
Lord

Speaker#1:
00:10:36.78 – 00:10:38.099
I wanna be like you

Speaker#1:
00:10:38.95 – 00:10:51.88
I want to live for you I want the life and character of Jesus Christ reproduced in me and Lord I need your help I need your grace I need your Holy Spirit because I can’t do it without you

Speaker#1:
00:10:52.39 – 00:10:59.53
I can’t do it in my own strength I am not my savior and I’m not my sancti fier a nice term for the one who makes us good

Speaker#1:
00:11:01.08 – 00:11:02.46
I need you Lord

Speaker#1:
00:11:03.2 – 00:11:07.229
And when we are in that place of trusting in him

Speaker#1:
00:11:08.02 – 00:11:15.9
and trusting in his word that he will fulfill his promises that’s when we plug into the power of God and God acts

Speaker#1:
00:11:17.32 – 00:11:29.169
when people find themselves bound by different things they often can run away from church run away from Christ or offended by other things they can run away instead of run to him

Speaker#1:
00:11:30.21 – 00:11:43.039
And until we learn that we are we have access to our father not by what we have done or what we have failed to do but we have access completely by what Jesus Christ has done for us on the cross

Speaker#1:
00:11:44.34 – 00:11:54.28
Then we can boldly run to him in our failures In our mistakes in our weaknesses in our lack and know that he is not going to turn us out

Speaker#1:
00:11:55.14 – 00:12:05.849
but he’s going to welcome us and empower us and transform our lives And it’s an experience that every believer needs to experience regularly

Speaker#1:
00:12:07.049 – 00:12:09.33
because that’s how we keep alive in the spirit

Speaker#2:
00:12:09.96 – 00:12:22.969
But that passage is filled with so many things that when we are filled with the spirit and born again we are the light of the world that God intends to put on display for the whole world Isn’t that incredible

Speaker#2:
00:12:23.5 – 00:12:35.07
And he even tells us that men will see our good works and glorify our father in heaven And that’s like again if you take God’s word the wrong way that can be a deadly burden

Speaker#2:
00:12:36.549 – 00:12:38.989
But if we are the light of the world

Speaker#2:
00:12:39.789 – 00:12:53.2
I mean here here’s a strategy for evangelism You’ve never heard Isaiah 60 a rise and shine for your light has come Talks about the nations being attracted to the brightness of your shining

Speaker#2:
00:12:54.07 – 00:13:06.039
the presence of God the life of Christ the life of the Holy Spirit can be so real in the people of God that the that the nations will come in and be attracted to the light

Speaker#2:
00:13:06.729 – 00:13:10.25
scripture challenges us with possibilities doesn’t it

Speaker#2:
00:13:11.39 – 00:13:16.299
But it’s also I think that a lot of times Jesus does not often

Speaker#1:
00:13:16.309 – 00:13:18.14
minister like we would like him to

Speaker#2:
00:13:19.369 – 00:13:29.299
I think a lot of times what he does is he’s creating curiosity in us He’s creating tension in us so that we would do something

Speaker#1:
00:13:29.309 – 00:13:31.71
absolutely profound Seek him

Speaker#1:
00:13:32.919 – 00:13:34.049
wrestle with him

Speaker#2:
00:13:34.809 – 00:13:40.08
right Even these ideas You are the light of the world You are the salt of the earth

Speaker#2:
00:13:40.979 – 00:13:46.07
OK Lord I see that but I’m having trouble believing it Where what do you do You go wrestle with him

Speaker#2:
00:13:46.909 – 00:13:49.729
Lord you say it I don’t see it It must be true

Speaker#2:
00:13:50.88 – 00:13:55.539
but I don’t see it It’s just like another word It says my sheep hear my voice

Speaker#2:
00:13:56.469 – 00:13:57.69
Are you his sheep

Speaker#1:
00:13:57.7 – 00:13:58.44
Then you hear his

Speaker#2:
00:13:58.45 – 00:13:59.479
voice That’s what God’s

Speaker#1:
00:13:59.489 – 00:14:02.599
word says But I don’t know that I hear God’s voice

Speaker#1:
00:14:03.159 – 00:14:04.169
Well his word says

Speaker#2:
00:14:04.179 – 00:14:13.969
I hear his voice I’ve seen many believers who did not believe that they heard the voice of Jesus And I showed them that passage I said what does this passage say

Speaker#2:
00:14:15.01 – 00:14:15.869
His sheep hear

Speaker#1:
00:14:15.88 – 00:14:17.89
his voice Are you his

Speaker#2:
00:14:17.9 – 00:14:18.58
sheep

Speaker#1:
00:14:19.669 – 00:14:25.88
But yeah I do know that I do know that I am a disciple and follower of Jesus Christ Then what does this passage say about you

Speaker#2:
00:14:26.479 – 00:14:27.489
It says I hear his

Speaker#1:
00:14:27.5 – 00:14:28.159
voice

Speaker#1:
00:14:28.78 – 00:14:33.9
OK So then is it possible that you do hear his voice But you don’t realize

Speaker#2:
00:14:33.909 – 00:14:34.2
it

Speaker#2:
00:14:35.059 – 00:14:36.95
And that has often opened up a world of

Speaker#1:
00:14:36.96 – 00:14:40.14
discovery for people Oh my gosh

Speaker#2:
00:14:40.15 – 00:14:41.809
I do hear God’s voice

Speaker#2:
00:14:42.599 – 00:14:51.95
He does speak to me I do have fellowship with him This is kind of what scripture talks about Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free

Speaker#2:
00:14:52.599 – 00:15:01.63
And people who let the word of God not operate the proper way in their life they will take a word that’s meant to bring

Speaker#1:
00:15:01.64 – 00:15:02.739
life

Speaker#1:
00:15:03.849 – 00:15:05.28
and let it bring death

Speaker#1:
00:15:06.27 – 00:15:10.13
Says if I’m a sheep I should hear his voice but I don’t hear his voice So I stink

Speaker#2:
00:15:11.729 – 00:15:15.77
It’s just learning simple things Christ came to give us life

Speaker#1:
00:15:15.78 – 00:15:16.27
life in

Speaker#2:
00:15:16.28 – 00:15:18.83
abundance If you’re not experiencing

Speaker#1:
00:15:18.84 – 00:15:25.859
it it means you are being lied to you are being robbed and you need to know the truth that sets you free

Speaker#2:
00:15:27.809 – 00:15:48.349
But I really do And I really love this sermon on the mount And I chose to do this for a reason because you know we can talk about being filled with the Holy Spirit and we need to start there we can talk about being born again talk about how God is going to light a fire that’s going to transform the whole world And we know that that is what Jesus came to do

Speaker#2:
00:15:48.659 – 00:16:17.45
So you have to assume that everything that He teaches is aimed at that one single purpose which is raising up sons and daughters of God reproducing the life of Christ in us everything he did everything he taught was aimed at that purpose And when we realized that pieces of the puzzle start to come together So the next line I wrote the relationship of God’s law to raising sons and daughters of liberty

Speaker#2:
00:16:19.419 – 00:16:27.059
Because in the modern church today we seem somehow seem to think that God’s law is contrary to liberty

Speaker#2:
00:16:27.57 – 00:16:38.369
don’t we And and and we will look at some of the passages where where Paul does talk about how the ministry he calls the law the Ministry of Death

Speaker#2:
00:16:38.88 – 00:16:56.07
But we often take that to mean far more than it means Does that make sense Right It’s not saying that the law is bad The law just tells you what it means to walk in love All the law does is tell you who God is what his character what its nature is

Speaker#2:
00:16:56.7 – 00:17:03.469
It tells you what is good but why is it And it actually says that the ministry of the law was glorious

Speaker#2:
00:17:04.979 – 00:17:18.239
glorious As a matter of fact the ministry of the law was so glorious that when Moses came down from the mountain his face was shining with glory so bright that the people said hide by your face from me

Speaker#1:
00:17:20.17 – 00:17:21.28
Well it can’t be that bad

Speaker#2:
00:17:21.29 – 00:17:21.859
is it

Speaker#2:
00:17:22.948 – 00:17:32.739
And yet I think Paul to try to contrast it to what has happened in the gospel What has happened in the new covenant calls it the ministry of the death

Speaker#2:
00:17:33.589 – 00:17:34.39
and calls the

Speaker#1:
00:17:34.4 – 00:17:37.689
Ministry of the Spirit The ministry of Life isn’t

Speaker#2:
00:17:37.699 – 00:17:48.25
that pretty wild So Jesus said do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets I did not come to destroy but to fulfill

Speaker#2:
00:17:48.8 – 00:17:55.739
Well so many times people Rob God’s word of its power because they said well Jesus fulfilled the law by perfectly keeping it

Speaker#1:
00:17:55.75 – 00:17:56.949
So we don’t have to

Speaker#1:
00:17:59.01 – 00:18:00.0
boring

Speaker#2:
00:18:01.569 – 00:18:04.68
He fulfilled the law

Speaker#2:
00:18:05.4 – 00:18:14.619
and has given us the gospel in his Holy Spirit So that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh

Speaker#1:
00:18:14.63 – 00:18:20.349
but according to the spirit He’s saying that I I will literally save you from your sins I

Speaker#2:
00:18:20.359 – 00:18:25.619
will literally change your life I will literally make you salt and light

Speaker#1:
00:18:25.63 – 00:18:27.64
You will be a new creation

Speaker#2:
00:18:28.739 – 00:18:30.05
Isn’t that wild

Speaker#2:
00:18:30.939 – 00:18:36.579
You see how subtly we can strip God’s word of its power And it’s often a focus on our

Speaker#1:
00:18:36.589 – 00:18:37.63
failures

Speaker#1:
00:18:40.41 – 00:18:41.68
and our faults

Speaker#1:
00:18:43.13 – 00:18:44.839
and looking to feel good

Speaker#1:
00:18:46.88 – 00:18:53.589
But we don’t need that if we’ve really settled some fundamental issues through God’s word He loves you

Speaker#1:
00:18:54.92 – 00:18:57.65
How do I know he sent his son to die for you

Speaker#1:
00:18:58.53 – 00:19:00.89
that settles it He loves you

Speaker#1:
00:19:02.26 – 00:19:11.27
He cares about you He wants a relationship with you He’s not a fault finder He’s not the accuser of the brethren That guy’s name is the devil

Speaker#1:
00:19:13.14 – 00:19:16.16
He came that we might have life and heaven in abundance

Speaker#2:
00:19:16.38 – 00:19:22.67
He says until heaven and earth pass away not one jot or one tittle will pass away until it is fulfilled

Speaker#2:
00:19:23.229 – 00:19:39.01
And just to prove that Jesus is that I’m hopefully accurately depicting what Jesus what I think Jesus says he continues whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven

Speaker#2:
00:19:39.859 – 00:19:41.64
So he’s clearly talking about

Speaker#1:
00:19:41.65 – 00:19:43.959
actually fulfilling or breaking

Speaker#2:
00:19:43.969 – 00:19:58.16
the law but whoever does and teaches them he shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven For I say to you unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven

Speaker#2:
00:19:59.4 – 00:20:03.42
That’s heavy stuff isn’t it It’s really heavy Thank you

Speaker#2:
00:20:04.52 – 00:20:10.319
It’s really heavy If you believe that it’s dependent upon you to save yourself from your sins

Speaker#2:
00:20:11.03 – 00:20:15.329
it’s really heavy If you believe that you need to earn your salvation

Speaker#2:
00:20:18.0 – 00:20:19.01
But that power is

Speaker#1:
00:20:19.02 – 00:20:24.8
broken when you know the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ that he paid it all

Speaker#1:
00:20:25.79 – 00:20:28.819
and we need to believe and trust in Him

Speaker#2:
00:20:36.68 – 00:20:40.089
Matthew five You know really looking at the law

Speaker#2:
00:20:40.65 – 00:20:43.709
is so important and it is so helpful for us

Speaker#2:
00:20:44.67 – 00:20:48.66
because when we look at the law we get a picture of what it means to be conformed

Speaker#1:
00:20:48.67 – 00:20:50.29
into the image of Christ right

Speaker#2:
00:20:50.939 – 00:21:04.76
It’s a simple principle God wants to transform our lives and make us loving make us like Jesus true believers That should be our heart and our desire too But there’s something about what we bring before our mind’s eye

Speaker#2:
00:21:05.31 – 00:21:07.38
that has an impact on how we

Speaker#1:
00:21:07.39 – 00:21:08.359
then live Does

Speaker#2:
00:21:08.369 – 00:21:09.39
that make sense

Speaker#2:
00:21:09.93 – 00:21:14.89
Like if somebody is going through something and they don’t tell you about it you might not be

Speaker#1:
00:21:14.9 – 00:21:15.949
praying for them about

Speaker#2:
00:21:15.959 – 00:21:16.219
it

Speaker#2:
00:21:16.829 – 00:21:39.589
But it’s only when they share their burden with you that you pray with them about something correct And a lot of times when somebody’s going through a need in the church it’s because their need is made known that the gifts in the body rise up and start to meet that need of that person Does that make sense So Jesus I believe is teaching us his law

Speaker#2:
00:21:40.13 – 00:21:44.75
so that it will have a response in us to

Speaker#1:
00:21:44.76 – 00:21:47.969
connect with the power of God to be transformed

Speaker#2:
00:21:48.319 – 00:21:52.17
But if we don’t see what it’s like to be like Him

Speaker#2:
00:21:52.989 – 00:21:55.06
then we kind of go around without

Speaker#1:
00:21:55.069 – 00:21:59.56
a passion in our heart without a desire without a prayer without a

Speaker#2:
00:21:59.569 – 00:22:03.18
longing without a coming to the throne of grace

Speaker#2:
00:22:03.949 – 00:22:10.239
to be transformed As a matter of fact I’ll even put it another way But I’m getting ahead of myself

Speaker#1:
00:22:10.25 – 00:22:12.829
but I’m going to get ahead of myself

Speaker#1:
00:22:14.0 – 00:22:18.93
scripture because we’re going to lighten the load eventually But I’m kind of guess I’m giving us a pre warning

Speaker#1:
00:22:19.959 – 00:22:22.5
when we see him we become like him

Speaker#1:
00:22:23.739 – 00:22:41.68
That’s the way scripture says that when we see him we become like him we behold him and then we become like him It’s through the revelation of Jesus Christ But we have to understand that preaching the law Jesus did it there We’re talk we’re reading the sermon on the mount and he’s

Speaker#2:
00:22:41.689 – 00:22:45.75
about to go through the law because the law tells you

Speaker#1:
00:22:45.76 – 00:22:46.819
who he’s like

Speaker#1:
00:22:47.199 – 00:22:52.319
what he’s like it shows you his character his nature how he acts how he behaves

Speaker#2:
00:22:52.329 – 00:22:53.04
And when we

Speaker#1:
00:22:53.05 – 00:23:03.459
see that it is an actual revelation of Jesus Christ Does that make sense And by beholding that that is key to us becoming like that

Speaker#2:
00:23:04.54 – 00:23:05.569
that makes sense

Speaker#2:
00:23:06.66 – 00:23:24.729
So really the the next part of the sermon on the Mount Jesus goes through a bunch of laws and a lot of the laws that he goes through What he’s doing is he’s contrasting the traditions of men that have dumbed down the law to make it palatable to the flesh And when you research every one

Speaker#1:
00:23:24.739 – 00:23:26.89
of them there there’s lots of

Speaker#2:
00:23:26.9 – 00:23:27.709
information

Speaker#1:
00:23:27.719 – 00:23:29.06
about what was going on

Speaker#1:
00:23:29.589 – 00:23:31.839
You know where for

Speaker#2:
00:23:31.849 – 00:23:33.229
example Lex

Speaker#1:
00:23:33.609 – 00:23:35.219
Taian you know an eye for an eye

Speaker#1:
00:23:35.969 – 00:23:40.709
They were using that to justify personal vendettas

Speaker#1:
00:23:42.18 – 00:23:47.189
rather than upholding justice and equity in the earth Or when it says when

Speaker#2:
00:23:47.199 – 00:23:49.3
somebody slaps in the cheek you turned

Speaker#1:
00:23:49.31 – 00:23:54.939
on the other cheek It was because a slap was considered one of the highest forms of insult In that day

Speaker#1:
00:23:55.609 – 00:24:05.609
you would be more insulting than giving somebody the middle finger today if you want to understand what it’s like And there were these traditions that got wrapped up around the law to dumb

Speaker#2:
00:24:05.619 – 00:24:06.17
dumb

Speaker#2:
00:24:07.479 – 00:24:26.339
So Matthew 5 21 through 22 I think this is so important for us to grasp because when Jesus is preaching the law when he’s preaching against sin Let’s call it however you want to call it for church thinking right You know like if we were to preach the law in America today the first sin we probably go to is sexual

Speaker#1:
00:24:26.349 – 00:24:28.03
immorality right

Speaker#2:
00:24:28.619 – 00:24:32.05
I mean that’s the first thing probably people would think about sexual immorality and

Speaker#1:
00:24:32.06 – 00:24:33.089
pornography

Speaker#1:
00:24:33.839 – 00:24:35.329
We don’t think about worry

Speaker#2:
00:24:36.51 – 00:24:44.26
which is you know Jesus when he’s talking about seek first the kingdom he puts worry as the number one thing that keeps you from seeking the kingdom right

Speaker#2:
00:24:45.03 – 00:24:49.849
So here in the sermon of the Mount he actually puts something right before sexual

Speaker#1:
00:24:49.859 – 00:24:50.4
sin

Speaker#1:
00:24:52.25 – 00:24:56.239
What does he put above sexual sin That’s a interesting question isn’t

Speaker#2:
00:24:56.25 – 00:24:56.489
it

Speaker#2:
00:25:00.0 – 00:25:06.079
You have heard it that it was said of those of all you shall not murder and whoever murders will be in danger of judgment

Speaker#2:
00:25:06.79 – 00:25:21.68
But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without cause shall be in danger of judgment And whoever says to his brother Raqqa shall be in danger of the council But whoever says you fool shall be in danger of hellfire

Speaker#2:
00:25:24.04 – 00:25:26.969
that pass that passage in modern English

Speaker#1:
00:25:26.979 – 00:25:32.729
loses some of its impact doesn’t it I mean is that what you think

Speaker#1:
00:25:33.819 – 00:25:39.729
sticks and stones may you know what means nothing to me right You fool

Speaker#1:
00:25:40.93 – 00:25:48.229
Something is lost in cultural context here isn’t it What he’s talking about is anger and contempt

Speaker#1:
00:25:49.359 – 00:25:53.109
and that we do understand Don’t we who is angry

Speaker#1:
00:25:53.67 – 00:26:04.859
and then Raqqa has to do it means to mark somebody for contempt And when you have contempt towards somebody you’re actually it’s a form of murder

Speaker#1:
00:26:05.63 – 00:26:08.589
You’re you’re you’re ok

Speaker#2:
00:26:08.88 – 00:26:10.8
Is that pizza store called Double Daves

Speaker#1:
00:26:10.81 – 00:26:14.589
Mel Double Daves I’ll give you an example Double

Speaker#2:
00:26:14.599 – 00:26:18.79
Daves Stephanie Ok I’m gonna get maybe I just stepped

Speaker#1:
00:26:18.8 – 00:26:25.77
in it big time here because this is a church and maybe we’ll have a divide It’s like you know what are you you know what football team do you

Speaker#1:
00:26:27.64 – 00:26:28.51
So I’m

Speaker#2:
00:26:28.52 – 00:26:29.56
hanging out with Mel and

Speaker#1:
00:26:29.569 – 00:26:31.969
Mel loves pizza I love pizza

Speaker#1:
00:26:33.06 – 00:26:34.52
I I can’t imagine you know

Speaker#2:
00:26:34.89 – 00:26:50.109
most people in America see I won’t say everybody most people seem to love pizza and a lot of people feel very passionately about the pizza that they love So Mel I saw that uh double days was come was opening up and Mel said oh yeah it’s not

Speaker#1:
00:26:50.119 – 00:26:57.949
really good pizza at all People used to you know tell me about how great it was and I went there and he said it wasn’t really that great It was not nothing

Speaker#2:
00:26:57.959 – 00:27:01.959
special although he did say the pepperoni rolls were pretty good Yeah

Speaker#2:
00:27:02.55 – 00:27:22.38
So I’m so so he had contempt for double Daves to some extent Right That’s a form of contempt And it gave me an opinion on Double Daves instead of making my own opinion about it for myself Ok And so I’m home one day and Stephanie goes oh it’s exciting Double Daves is opening up

Speaker#2:
00:27:23.119 – 00:27:32.3
Well have you ever had double Daves I didn’t think so So what happened was I go wow you’re really excited about this Double Daves opening up

Speaker#2:
00:27:32.839 – 00:27:37.989
Why are you excited about that Oh Alan loves double Daves and was telling me how great it was

Speaker#2:
00:27:39.619 – 00:27:45.8
Ok Turns out it is the pet Well we didn’t know that but in the and so in the middle of it all I’m like oh

Speaker#2:
00:27:47.5 – 00:27:51.989
maybe I’ve prejudged them without actually giving them a chance

Speaker#2:
00:27:53.5 – 00:28:04.65
You know mel could be 100% accurate in his judgment and it could be absolute So it might not be true totally contempt But I was giving you the picture of how our contempt for something

Speaker#1:
00:28:04.66 – 00:28:08.27
can be contagious and our excitement for something can be

Speaker#2:
00:28:08.28 – 00:28:14.39
contagious But it turns out it was just a misunderstanding and it really is just the pepperoni rolls that are really good

Speaker#2:
00:28:18.869 – 00:28:29.349
So anger contempt contempt are dangerous to the kingdom of God They are dangerous to the world They are a sickness of the disease that will destroy everything

Speaker#2:
00:28:30.739 – 00:28:36.359
And so we have to really wrestle with anything that creates contempt in us

Speaker#2:
00:28:37.29 – 00:28:39.319
without us having all the facts

Speaker#2:
00:28:40.219 – 00:28:40.92
right

Speaker#2:
00:28:41.5 – 00:28:53.26
So Dallas Willard he wrote this in the divine conspiracy Some attention has recently been paid to 12 or 14 year old Children who kill people for no apparent

Speaker#1:
00:28:53.27 – 00:28:53.88
reason

Speaker#2:
00:28:54.3 – 00:28:58.79
Commentators have remarked on the lack of feeling in these young killers

Speaker#2:
00:28:59.51 – 00:29:02.609
But when you observe them accurately you will see that they are indeed

Speaker#1:
00:29:02.619 – 00:29:04.16
actuated by a feeling

Speaker#1:
00:29:05.119 – 00:29:05.739
watch their

Speaker#2:
00:29:05.75 – 00:29:06.589
faces

Speaker#2:
00:29:07.119 – 00:29:08.209
It is contempt

Speaker#2:
00:29:08.939 – 00:29:16.079
They are richly contemptuous of others And at the same time terrified and en and enraged at being

Speaker#1:
00:29:16.089 – 00:29:19.209
dissed which is their language for contempt

Speaker#1:
00:29:21.319 – 00:29:24.67
That’s a see Jesus knew what he was talking about

Speaker#1:
00:29:25.54 – 00:29:28.479
Anger and contentment being or

Speaker#2:
00:29:28.489 – 00:29:33.76
contempt It’s hugely dangerous Well now but what about that fool

Speaker#1:
00:29:34.53 – 00:29:35.25
You know

Speaker#2:
00:29:35.439 – 00:29:38.589
because he said if you basically have contempt you’ll be

Speaker#1:
00:29:38.599 – 00:29:40.869
brought before the highest court in the land

Speaker#1:
00:29:41.42 – 00:29:45.18
But if you call somebody a fool you’re in danger of hellfire

Speaker#1:
00:29:45.869 – 00:29:51.109
Because what we see there is contempt and anger coming together

Speaker#2:
00:29:51.959 – 00:30:05.989
Dallas wrote to brand somebody full in this biblical sense was a violation of the soul So devastating of such great harm that as Jesus sought it would justify consigning the offender to the smoldering garbage dump of

Speaker#1:
00:30:06.0 – 00:30:08.81
human existence Gahanna That’s for people who have

Speaker#2:
00:30:08.819 – 00:30:09.949
trouble saying hell

Speaker#2:
00:30:10.689 – 00:30:17.0
it combines all that is evil and anger as well as in contempt So it combines anger and contempt

Speaker#2:
00:30:17.56 – 00:30:24.459
It is not possible for people with such attitudes towards others to live in the movements of God’s Kingdom

Speaker#1:
00:30:24.469 – 00:30:27.17
for they are totally out of harmony with it

Speaker#2:
00:30:29.319 – 00:30:34.469
Do you see how reading God’s law gives us a vision of Christ’s character

Speaker#2:
00:30:35.189 – 00:30:36.579
It gives us a hunger

Speaker#1:
00:30:40.219 – 00:30:41.65
in today’s culture

Speaker#1:
00:30:42.42 – 00:30:43.589
Contempt can be

Speaker#1:
00:30:45.06 – 00:30:46.099
Republican

Speaker#1:
00:30:46.89 – 00:30:48.03
democrat

Speaker#1:
00:30:49.18 – 00:30:50.15
That’s contempt

Speaker#1:
00:30:52.39 – 00:30:53.18
Anger

Speaker#1:
00:30:54.619 – 00:30:57.55
blowing road rage is a perfect example of it

Speaker#1:
00:30:58.349 – 00:31:02.819
We train ourselves to allow anger and contempt

Speaker#1:
00:31:03.41 – 00:31:05.68
when we are angry with people

Speaker#1:
00:31:06.489 – 00:31:10.79
that anger has a horrible negative effect on them

Speaker#1:
00:31:11.3 – 00:31:17.349
It tries to it’s a form of manipulation or trying to govern through

Speaker#2:
00:31:17.359 – 00:31:20.15
disapproval but it also has a

Speaker#1:
00:31:20.16 – 00:31:23.29
toxic effect on all those around it

Speaker#1:
00:31:24.4 – 00:31:27.31
That’s why Jesus put anger and contempt

Speaker#1:
00:31:27.869 – 00:31:29.91
in front of sexual immorality

Speaker#1:
00:31:31.04 – 00:31:34.099
Some challenging ideas in God’s word isn’t it

Speaker#1:
00:31:35.349 – 00:31:41.719
But when we say oh my gosh I didn’t realize this stuff is so dangerous I didn’t realize this stuff is so ugly

Speaker#1:
00:31:42.81 – 00:31:44.609
and I see it in my own life

Speaker#1:
00:31:45.989 – 00:31:55.609
You see just knowing how dangerous it is allows this kind of warning trigger to go off into something this voice saying this is not who I want to be

Speaker#1:
00:31:56.77 – 00:32:06.63
but instead of going and feeling bad and guilty and condemned about it which will not help you one little bit It’s that warning trigger goes off and I see that’s not like Jesus

Speaker#1:
00:32:07.65 – 00:32:09.699
So now I run to Jesus

Speaker#1:
00:32:10.78 – 00:32:12.77
and say Lord I wanna be like you

Speaker#1:
00:32:13.29 – 00:32:24.65
pour your love abroad into my heart for people Lord give me a grace give me a peace Let me let me not give place to anger and contempt

Speaker#1:
00:32:25.719 – 00:32:33.079
You see how it works A revelation of Jesus sets us up to have an encounter with Jesus to change our life

Speaker#1:
00:32:33.709 – 00:32:46.66
See Jesus knows we we talk about Jesus will transform your life He will conform you into his image How why this is why we believe so deeply in the preaching of God’s word because it’s as we see Him we become like him

Speaker#2:
00:32:49.229 – 00:32:56.229
So personal transformation in the ministry of the church The goal of the baptism of the spirit is to reproduce the character and

Speaker#1:
00:32:56.239 – 00:32:58.52
ministry of Jesus in us

Speaker#1:
00:32:59.41 – 00:33:06.329
I always like to make it simple God’s plan to transform the world is to reproduce little Jesus in the earth

Speaker#1:
00:33:07.18 – 00:33:09.52
The devil couldn’t deal with one Jesus

Speaker#1:
00:33:10.349 – 00:33:13.93
What happens when he reproduces his life in multitudes

Speaker#1:
00:33:14.989 – 00:33:16.5
powerful isn’t it

Speaker#2:
00:33:17.15 – 00:33:22.989
So the baptism of the Holy Spirit it says when the Holy Spirit comes he will take of what is

Speaker#1:
00:33:23.0 – 00:33:25.26
mine and declare it to you

Speaker#1:
00:33:27.3 – 00:33:30.04
And the problem that we have is we often think well it is

Speaker#2:
00:33:30.05 – 00:33:43.92
information is really important because in declare it is the right word because spoken language communication is how we learn people’s heart But it’s more than just declare it because God’s

Speaker#1:
00:33:43.93 – 00:33:45.4
word they

Speaker#2:
00:33:45.41 – 00:33:48.5
they they had a biblical understanding of the word

Speaker#1:
00:33:48.51 – 00:33:50.03
produces reality

Speaker#2:
00:33:50.56 – 00:33:52.439
God spoke the word

Speaker#1:
00:33:52.449 – 00:33:54.39
and the world leapt into being

Speaker#2:
00:33:54.699 – 00:34:01.599
So when the Holy Spirit takes of what is Jesus who he is his character his

Speaker#1:
00:34:01.609 – 00:34:05.699
nature and declares it to us it creates it in us

Speaker#1:
00:34:06.42 – 00:34:07.089
Does that make

Speaker#2:
00:34:07.099 – 00:34:13.239
sense So the Ministry of the Holy Spirit is to reproduce the life of Christ in

Speaker#1:
00:34:13.25 – 00:34:14.0
us

Speaker#2:
00:34:14.949 – 00:34:21.1
I mean that’s what the scripture says that Jesus Christ is coming back for a pure spotless bride and we’re learning the mechanics

Speaker#1:
00:34:21.11 – 00:34:22.62
of how this is going to happen

Speaker#2:
00:34:22.879 – 00:34:36.8
It says that we are going to reach the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ That that’s what the gifts of the spirit were given to the church for And Jesus is not going to fail to accomplish what he says in his

Speaker#1:
00:34:36.81 – 00:34:38.709
work he’s going to accomplish

Speaker#2:
00:34:38.87 – 00:34:40.209
But these are the mechanics

Speaker#1:
00:34:40.219 – 00:34:41.628
of how it happens

Speaker#2:
00:34:42.239 – 00:34:48.86
you know and and the law is not just about thou shalt not It’s that imagery of anger and

Speaker#1:
00:34:48.87 – 00:34:49.879
contempt

Speaker#2:
00:34:50.169 – 00:34:59.129
is is is meant to let you not you’re not meant to just take a list of what shouldn’t I be You’re meant to say well what should I be

Speaker#2:
00:35:00.36 – 00:35:01.149
You see

Speaker#2:
00:35:01.709 – 00:35:04.649
it it it’s a negative expression

Speaker#2:
00:35:05.37 – 00:35:07.07
that it’s meant to imply a

Speaker#1:
00:35:07.08 – 00:35:15.879
positive reality merciful gracious compassionate slow to anger steadfast in love

Speaker#1:
00:35:17.419 – 00:35:21.439
It’s not just thou shalt not be angry and contemptuous or contempt

Speaker#1:
00:35:22.179 – 00:35:29.169
You should be loving and gracious and kind and compassionate You see the difference It’s all implied in the

Speaker#2:
00:35:29.179 – 00:35:29.83
law

Speaker#2:
00:35:32.04 – 00:35:33.959
but the purpose is to raise up

Speaker#1:
00:35:33.969 – 00:35:49.419
sons and daughters of liberty It it really is one of my favorite passages in Romans eight And that’s why I repeat it again and again and again that all of creation is groaning waiting to be delivered from the bondage of corruption through the revelation of the Sons of God

Speaker#1:
00:35:50.409 – 00:35:55.649
and always put sons and daughters of God because it is important that people realize it’s

Speaker#1:
00:35:56.239 – 00:36:01.199
you know it should be a generic it should have it should be without saying

Speaker#1:
00:36:03.29 – 00:36:08.179
you know but unfortunately there has been in history

Speaker#1:
00:36:09.389 – 00:36:10.879
some pretty bad stuff

Speaker#1:
00:36:12.04 – 00:36:16.86
And so we will say the sons and daughters of God the sons and daughters of liberty

Speaker#1:
00:36:17.409 – 00:36:27.0
Second Corinthians 3 17 through 18 This really is the mechanics See I I kind of cheated a little bit

Speaker#1:
00:36:28.159 – 00:36:46.989
when I was doing the sermon on the mount because the sermon on the mount covers many chapters And at the end he talks about a good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree bears bad fruit And in another gospel he makes it clear make the tree good and it will bear good fruit

Speaker#1:
00:36:47.84 – 00:37:00.54
So the key that Jesus is working with here he doesn’t just say it very blatantly He doesn’t say it very clearly But what he’s implying is you need to be born again

Speaker#1:
00:37:01.08 – 00:37:14.8
you need to become a new creation and you need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit make the tree good and you will bear good fruit If you are a good tree you will bear good fruit

Speaker#1:
00:37:15.389 – 00:37:20.07
If you’re not a good tree you will not bear good fruit It’s that simple

Speaker#1:
00:37:20.76 – 00:37:22.06
pretty wild isn’t it

Speaker#2:
00:37:22.909 – 00:37:32.129
Second Corinthians 3 17 through 18 Now the Lord is the spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty

Speaker#2:
00:37:32.979 – 00:37:46.57
But we all with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord are being transformed into that same image from glory to glory just as by the spirit of the Lord

Speaker#2:
00:37:48.199 – 00:37:51.669
That is the mechanic for personal transformation

Speaker#2:
00:37:52.55 – 00:37:55.3
So many people have been struggling

Speaker#2:
00:37:56.229 – 00:38:15.59
with the same issues in their life and they can’t figure out how to get free from it right And I’m hoping that is how we approach God’s law today that you start to get a revelation of some of the ways that you can behold the glory of God through His word

Speaker#2:
00:38:19.169 – 00:38:21.27
by reading His word

Speaker#2:
00:38:21.79 – 00:38:29.59
You don’t see that glory by focusing on somebody who’s angry or has contempt You look at that and say

Speaker#2:
00:38:30.149 – 00:38:31.29
what is not

Speaker#1:
00:38:31.3 – 00:38:31.909
that

Speaker#1:
00:38:32.989 – 00:38:36.219
Jesus that’s our simple church answer Jesus Exactly

Speaker#1:
00:38:37.02 – 00:38:42.03
loving gracious compassionate slow to anger Say it again abounding in love

Speaker#1:
00:38:42.899 – 00:38:43.919
I see it

Speaker#1:
00:38:44.57 – 00:38:53.489
I behold it I behold the beauty of it I behold the effects that that will have on others I behold the effects that it will have on relationships I

Speaker#2:
00:38:53.5 – 00:39:02.56
imagine a world that is delivered from anger and contempt where they have this kind of character towards one another What

Speaker#1:
00:39:02.57 – 00:39:07.82
I’m looking at here and describing we could call the beauty of holiness

Speaker#1:
00:39:09.209 – 00:39:16.04
the beauty of holiness I need to behold the beauty of holiness And as I see

Speaker#2:
00:39:16.05 – 00:39:16.739
him

Speaker#2:
00:39:18.05 – 00:39:19.84
because I’ve been born again

Speaker#1:
00:39:20.25 – 00:39:22.729
and filled with the spirit I will become like him

Speaker#1:
00:39:24.229 – 00:39:29.07
That’s why the first commandment is you I am the Lord your God you’ll have no other gods before me

Speaker#1:
00:39:29.62 – 00:39:35.489
And then don’t make any idols because idols are a false image of God

Speaker#1:
00:39:36.26 – 00:39:41.0
because we are conformed into the image of that which we worship

Speaker#1:
00:39:42.78 – 00:39:43.979
interesting isn’t it

Speaker#1:
00:39:44.87 – 00:39:48.659
We are conformed into the image of that which we worship

Speaker#1:
00:39:49.429 – 00:40:00.54
So let us worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness Let us worship him in praise and let us enter his gates with thanksgiving in our hearts and enter his courts with praise Let

Speaker#2:
00:40:00.55 – 00:40:01.53
us celebrate

Speaker#1:
00:40:01.54 – 00:40:04.77
with absolute sincerity

Speaker#1:
00:40:05.77 – 00:40:06.79
the hope

Speaker#1:
00:40:07.439 – 00:40:11.78
that we have through the gospel of Jesus Christ and appreciate Him

Speaker#1:
00:40:12.75 – 00:40:15.53
because it was nothing that we did to deserve it

Speaker#1:
00:40:16.879 – 00:40:22.26
And it’s only his grace that we have come to know and believe you are the Christ the son of the living God

Speaker#1:
00:40:23.87 – 00:40:33.05
How we should just be so grateful every day that we have come to believe and follow Jesus Christ

Speaker#2:
00:40:33.06 – 00:40:37.649
and how we should have such compassion and Brokenness of soul

Speaker#1:
00:40:38.199 – 00:40:39.56
For those who haven’t

Speaker#1:
00:40:42.219 – 00:40:43.11
see we

Speaker#2:
00:40:43.12 – 00:40:44.34
really need to learn

Speaker#1:
00:40:44.639 – 00:40:47.459
to discern life from death because

Speaker#2:
00:40:47.469 – 00:40:51.01
Jesus tells so many stories you know like the pharisee who

Speaker#1:
00:40:51.02 – 00:40:51.719
prayed

Speaker#1:
00:40:52.389 – 00:40:54.27
I thank God I’m not like the sinner

Speaker#1:
00:40:56.409 – 00:41:00.59
in the center God have mercy on me A sinner He went home justified

Speaker#1:
00:41:01.459 – 00:41:07.159
Why Because it’s his grace that saves us It’s his love

Speaker#1:
00:41:08.389 – 00:41:12.52
it’s all him He’s our savior from sin He’s our sancti fier

Speaker#1:
00:41:13.679 – 00:41:14.679
And really when we

Speaker#2:
00:41:14.689 – 00:41:15.729
really start to grow

Speaker#1:
00:41:15.739 – 00:41:21.82
close to Jesus I mean this is what we’re trying to develop in the church when you really grow close to Jesus I don’t

Speaker#2:
00:41:21.83 – 00:41:22.6
we don’t make

Speaker#1:
00:41:22.61 – 00:41:28.37
excuses for sin because making excuses for sin is not helpful for people Does that make

Speaker#2:
00:41:28.379 – 00:41:29.669
sense But

Speaker#1:
00:41:29.679 – 00:41:31.419
what we have is compassion

Speaker#1:
00:41:32.27 – 00:41:35.169
because most sin happens because people were hurt

Speaker#1:
00:41:35.83 – 00:41:50.469
people were harmed People were done wrong by people believe a lie They don’t believe that they are good They don’t believe they’re beautiful It’s just a bondage of lies and deception in a world of hurt and abuse

Speaker#1:
00:41:51.1 – 00:41:55.149
We don’t make excuses for sin because we’re not helping people

Speaker#1:
00:41:55.75 – 00:41:59.83
But at the same time we don’t say wow you’re a horrible wretched sinner

Speaker#1:
00:42:01.5 – 00:42:04.149
We go God has made a way out

Speaker#1:
00:42:04.85 – 00:42:17.27
He loves you and he’s for you and he cares about you And we say Lord give us your heart And really if you get close enough to any person to actually come to know them you’ll end up finding compassion for them

Speaker#1:
00:42:18.199 – 00:42:20.8
If you’re free from being triggered

Speaker#1:
00:42:21.32 – 00:42:25.28
by anger and contempt Does that make sense See like

Speaker#2:
00:42:25.29 – 00:42:25.889
when you’re in

Speaker#1:
00:42:25.899 – 00:42:36.51
situations where your buttons are pushed we can thank God because those are proof that we need to get closer to Jesus Our buttons being pushed is proof

Speaker#1:
00:42:37.12 – 00:42:40.53
that there are areas of our life that need to be brought into the light

Speaker#1:
00:42:41.08 – 00:42:45.379
not to feel bad about it but to be transformed Does that make sense

Speaker#1:
00:42:45.889 – 00:42:52.679
You know because we want to be free to love others And wherever we see our buttons being pushed we’re still not free

Speaker#1:
00:42:54.399 – 00:43:05.08
and we don’t feel condemned about our buttons being pushed What we do is we run to him Confident excited grateful that he has promised that he is going to save us from our sin

Speaker#1:
00:43:05.689 – 00:43:06.959
Isn’t that beautiful

Speaker#1:
00:43:08.56 – 00:43:10.34
New Well I’m gonna

Speaker#2:
00:43:11.09 – 00:43:12.469
paraphrase the new

Speaker#1:
00:43:12.479 – 00:43:30.199
covenant That’s what it says The new covenant is all about this I’m gonna make a new covenant with you Not like the covenant I made with the wilderness I will write my laws on your heart and then I will be your God and you will be my people I will cause you to walk in my ways See when we go before the throne of grace we need to go with these covenant promises

Speaker#2:
00:43:30.32 – 00:43:32.53
God you promise you would write your

Speaker#1:
00:43:32.54 – 00:43:33.79
law on my heart

Speaker#1:
00:43:34.399 – 00:43:38.159
If your law is not written on my heart then I will not walk in your ways

Speaker#1:
00:43:38.669 – 00:43:42.28
You promised that you would cause me to walk in your ways

Speaker#1:
00:43:44.09 – 00:43:47.35
And so Lord make good your promise today

Speaker#1:
00:43:48.75 – 00:43:50.28
That’s how you break through

Speaker#1:
00:43:51.54 – 00:43:53.159
and nobody can do it for you

Speaker#1:
00:43:54.189 – 00:44:00.199
Nobody can do it for you You are a disciple I am a disciple We have to care enough

Speaker#1:
00:44:01.439 – 00:44:07.79
that we would draw near to him and receive from him for ourselves and we can

Speaker#1:
00:44:08.689 – 00:44:15.8
he will not disappoint He will not fail to do what he says He will do He will make good his word

Speaker#1:
00:44:16.969 – 00:44:27.689
but it operates through faith And sometimes you need to wrestle with his word and his presence until that faith comes and you experience breakthrough But you will if you don’t give up

Speaker#1:
00:44:29.59 – 00:44:45.78
there it is I will read it Matthew 7 17 through 20 Every good tree bears good fruit A bad tree bears bad fruit Good tree cannot bear bad fruit nor can a bad tree bear good fruit Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire Therefore by their fruits you will know them

Speaker#1:
00:44:46.86 – 00:44:50.32
essentially in the kingdom of Heaven There will only be good trees

Speaker#1:
00:44:50.86 – 00:45:03.75
bad treatment cause others to suffer And he promised I love you so much that I’m going to bring you into a world where there’s no more sickness no more sorrow no more suffering no more evil I cannot allow evil to abide forever

Speaker#1:
00:45:04.939 – 00:45:15.219
And so what does he do He takes up all that is evil all that is contrary to his presence all that will harm others And he throws it into a pit which we call

Speaker#1:
00:45:17.03 – 00:45:23.11
because he loves us so much He loves all so much His desire is that none

Speaker#1:
00:45:23.83 – 00:45:25.01
should end up there

Speaker#1:
00:45:25.58 – 00:45:27.8
and nobody has to end up there

Speaker#1:
00:45:28.37 – 00:45:30.79
But there’s only one way out

Speaker#1:
00:45:31.53 – 00:45:32.85
make the tree good

Speaker#1:
00:45:34.709 – 00:45:36.6
If somebody is not born again

Speaker#1:
00:45:38.07 – 00:45:40.09
they have no place in the kingdom of God

Speaker#1:
00:45:40.949 – 00:45:45.86
If Jesus is not the Lord of your life Then you have no place in the kingdom of God

Speaker#1:
00:45:46.489 – 00:45:47.87
make the tree good

Speaker#1:
00:45:49.919 – 00:46:08.979
because God is good and He will not allow evil to be in the presence of those that he has made a covenant promise with I will bring you into paradise I will bring you into a world where there’s no more sickness sorrow suffering or death or pain And I cannot allow in anything

Speaker#1:
00:46:10.739 – 00:46:12.07
that will cause pain

Speaker#1:
00:46:12.679 – 00:46:14.379
There’s coming a day when

Speaker#1:
00:46:15.51 – 00:46:19.33
time has passed and it is too late to repent

Speaker#1:
00:46:20.1 – 00:46:22.59
But God’s heart is that none should perish

Speaker#1:
00:46:23.129 – 00:46:25.5
And he wants us to have that same heart in us

Speaker#2:
00:46:27.909 – 00:46:29.129
So we want to create

Speaker#1:
00:46:29.139 – 00:46:35.58
a culture and community that raises the sons and daughters of liberty Would you say that’s a fair dream

Speaker#1:
00:46:37.489 – 00:46:38.12
right

Speaker#2:
00:46:38.57 – 00:46:43.5
And and so I I’ve actually had these parts of my notes I’ve had for

Speaker#1:
00:46:43.51 – 00:46:46.0
months and I’ve never gotten down this far yet

Speaker#2:
00:46:48.25 – 00:46:52.05
But the reason why is it’s all I believe in God’s perfect

Speaker#1:
00:46:52.06 – 00:46:52.649
timing

Speaker#2:
00:46:54.149 – 00:46:56.209
In my note I like you know like when

Speaker#1:
00:46:56.219 – 00:47:02.169
you’re making notes outlines you just kind of put a little phrase and you’re supposed to remember what it’s supposed to be but it’s been there for months But I think

Speaker#2:
00:47:02.179 – 00:47:05.479
I know what this means It says this shouldn’t happen in church

Speaker#2:
00:47:08.469 – 00:47:09.449
They’re supposed to

Speaker#1:
00:47:09.459 – 00:47:10.739
be a Christian

Speaker#2:
00:47:12.35 – 00:47:18.87
That’s the Ministry of Death under death That’s the ministry of accusation that will never bring life to a church

Speaker#2:
00:47:20.36 – 00:47:35.78
Does that make sense See this is why we really want to preach God’s word in his law and see what he’s like and understand the mechanics of transformation and salvation Where as we see Him we become like Him That whole word is a word of contempt

Speaker#1:
00:47:36.78 – 00:47:37.77
Do you hear it

Speaker#1:
00:47:39.139 – 00:47:41.55
This shouldn’t happen in church

Speaker#1:
00:47:42.52 – 00:47:44.28
I thought they were a Christian

Speaker#1:
00:47:45.54 – 00:47:48.199
seething with contempt

Speaker#2:
00:47:48.82 – 00:47:54.77
Border lining Calling somebody a fool cutting yourself off from

Speaker#1:
00:47:54.78 – 00:47:55.469
life

Speaker#1:
00:47:56.34 – 00:47:58.12
Wow great

Speaker#1:
00:48:01.26 – 00:48:02.32
But the reality

Speaker#2:
00:48:02.33 – 00:48:08.139
is is that our heart should be that we are all Children of God that are

Speaker#1:
00:48:08.149 – 00:48:11.3
going from faith to faith and glory to glory

Speaker#1:
00:48:12.5 – 00:48:16.469
And if we can have mercy and grace and compassion for one another

Speaker#1:
00:48:18.11 – 00:48:19.09
and if God could

Speaker#2:
00:48:19.1 – 00:48:21.27
somehow even use us to express

Speaker#1:
00:48:21.28 – 00:48:26.87
that to one for one another that creates a culture of life it creates a

Speaker#2:
00:48:26.879 – 00:48:28.81
community where people can come to

Speaker#1:
00:48:28.82 – 00:48:31.26
maturity in Christ see

Speaker#2:
00:48:31.27 – 00:48:36.929
the difference So I don’t even know how to put that thou here’s the law thou

Speaker#1:
00:48:36.939 – 00:48:39.689
shalt not say this shouldn’t happen in church

Speaker#1:
00:48:40.8 – 00:48:41.899
Well OK that’s

Speaker#2:
00:48:41.909 – 00:48:43.1
a negative perspective

Speaker#1:
00:48:43.11 – 00:48:47.36
But the idea is what kind of community is that trying to create

Speaker#1:
00:48:48.8 – 00:48:53.52
What is other than that kind of community compassion mercy

Speaker#2:
00:48:53.53 – 00:48:56.06
grace building up one another

Speaker#1:
00:48:56.07 – 00:49:04.37
covering each other’s faults and love And recognizing that nobody has yet attained at least in our church

Speaker#1:
00:49:04.879 – 00:49:08.52
the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ So guess what

Speaker#1:
00:49:09.1 – 00:49:10.5
We’re gonna mess up

Speaker#1:
00:49:12.58 – 00:49:34.719
and this is you know like when God spoke to me all those years ago the church is structured for maturity Even some of the idea of that’s the man of God and the man of God should never do that And then go to Africa and close doors with pastors and then they start opening up about the burden that is on their soul because they’re put up on a pedestal and can’t have any good friendships or relationships They’re being set up for failure

Speaker#1:
00:49:37.58 – 00:49:38.58
scripture When

Speaker#2:
00:49:38.59 – 00:49:40.659
it talks about the sin offering

Speaker#1:
00:49:40.979 – 00:49:41.479
every

Speaker#2:
00:49:41.489 – 00:49:45.689
every sin offering is if if if if but then it says

Speaker#1:
00:49:45.699 – 00:49:48.12
when a leader sins huh

Speaker#2:
00:49:48.719 – 00:49:53.699
It didn’t give an if with leaders It said when why Because people who have the responsibility

Speaker#1:
00:49:53.709 – 00:49:55.56
of leadership have so many different things

Speaker#2:
00:49:55.57 – 00:49:57.639
pulling at them that

Speaker#1:
00:49:57.649 – 00:50:00.209
it’s impossible that they should always get it right

Speaker#1:
00:50:01.28 – 00:50:01.889
Mm

Speaker#1:
00:50:02.55 – 00:50:05.419
That’s that’s not the way it’s supposed to be in church I

Speaker#2:
00:50:05.429 – 00:50:13.37
mean you see what I’m saying You see that if we really want to be authentic about creating a culture of life where people come to maturity we

Speaker#1:
00:50:13.379 – 00:50:15.199
need to deal with these things

Speaker#2:
00:50:15.419 – 00:50:20.159
Another thing conflict is normal in the midst of genuine relationship

Speaker#2:
00:50:22.35 – 00:50:25.169
There shouldn’t be any conflict

Speaker#2:
00:50:26.06 – 00:50:27.07
when you quit fighting

Speaker#1:
00:50:27.08 – 00:50:28.629
there’s no more relationship

Speaker#2:
00:50:30.219 – 00:50:34.189
You know you only have conflict with people you have a relationship with you only really

Speaker#1:
00:50:34.199 – 00:50:47.389
have conflict with people you have unless it’s road but that doesn’t count or whether if you’re an idiot and you actually get out and have a fight ok But that’s not what we mean Relational conflict The key is there’s a relationship

Speaker#1:
00:50:48.429 – 00:50:54.33
but it’s part of how we learn to forgive and love and show mercy and grace

Speaker#1:
00:50:55.219 – 00:50:56.27
Do you see what I mean

Speaker#1:
00:50:57.25 – 00:50:59.0
And we have to be ok with that

Speaker#1:
00:50:59.52 – 00:51:14.209
because no relationship will ever survive without forgiveness And we learn through these things that everything that the gospel of Jesus Christ brought us and teaches us is revolutionary and it can change the whole world

Speaker#2:
00:51:16.05 – 00:51:18.919
because there’s conflict in the world

Speaker#1:
00:51:19.51 – 00:51:20.239
No

Speaker#1:
00:51:21.229 – 00:51:22.27
there’s conflict

Speaker#1:
00:51:23.449 – 00:51:31.189
But we need to learn how to apply the gospel of Jesus Christ The character and nature of Jesus respond in a way that our light shines

Speaker#1:
00:51:32.62 – 00:51:44.419
and men and women see our good works and glorify our father in heaven and sometimes as strange and as horrible as this may sound We don’t we would that nobody should ever sin because sin hurts people

Speaker#1:
00:51:45.07 – 00:51:45.75
right

Speaker#1:
00:51:47.06 – 00:51:51.01
But sometimes when people see somebody apologizing

Speaker#1:
00:51:53.229 – 00:51:54.149
repenting

Speaker#1:
00:51:55.31 – 00:51:59.459
when they see your character has changed over time because you’ve been part of a community

Speaker#1:
00:52:00.489 – 00:52:11.879
and they start to become curious and they’re attracted to the brightness of your shining when your button isn’t pushed in a context that everybody else’s button is being pushed And they want to know why I’ve had People actually say that

Speaker#1:
00:52:12.389 – 00:52:15.57
when I worked somewhere where there was a really mean person

Speaker#1:
00:52:16.489 – 00:52:21.76
and I didn’t realize that they never bothered me And then the other employee said hey how come he knows if it bothers you

Speaker#1:
00:52:22.53 – 00:52:26.199
And I thought about it It’s like because my identity is rooted in Christ

Speaker#1:
00:52:27.149 – 00:52:32.149
but I didn’t even realize that it wasn’t intentional It was only when they asked me you see what I’m saying

Speaker#2:
00:52:32.51 – 00:52:33.169
And that’s not

Speaker#1:
00:52:33.179 – 00:52:34.37
oh because you’re special

Speaker#2:
00:52:34.379 – 00:52:35.81
No it’s just simple It

Speaker#1:
00:52:35.82 – 00:52:39.689
happens that you become like Jesus in the community of faith

Speaker#1:
00:52:40.36 – 00:52:43.53
When we’re really walking with God it’s transformational

Speaker#1:
00:52:44.09 – 00:52:46.429
grace is transformational

Speaker#1:
00:52:49.219 – 00:52:51.25
Another man I have many more things I’m

Speaker#2:
00:52:51.26 – 00:52:52.229
gonna leave these for a another

Speaker#1:
00:52:52.239 – 00:52:55.82
one I’ll cover one more and then we will um

Speaker#1:
00:52:57.81 – 00:53:00.58
we then then we will leave that for another week

Speaker#1:
00:53:01.12 – 00:53:02.27
Expectation

Speaker#2:
00:53:03.04 – 00:53:04.709
This is this is one of the things that

Speaker#1:
00:53:04.719 – 00:53:09.139
really really is important and we will we will continue

Speaker#2:
00:53:09.149 – 00:53:11.879
in expectation in many weeks But I

Speaker#1:
00:53:11.889 – 00:53:17.34
remember when Karen came and worked at for academy not a different Karen Um

Speaker#1:
00:53:18.209 – 00:53:19.04
and she had worked at a

Speaker#2:
00:53:19.05 – 00:53:20.189
Christian school

Speaker#2:
00:53:20.889 – 00:53:24.379
and that Christian school what they did is they indoctrinated

Speaker#1:
00:53:24.389 – 00:53:26.5
rather than taught people to think

Speaker#2:
00:53:26.979 – 00:53:30.639
this is what you’re supposed to believe This is supposed to this is how you’re supposed to

Speaker#1:
00:53:30.649 – 00:53:31.229
act

Speaker#2:
00:53:31.76 – 00:53:34.919
and and people did that and they played the game but

Speaker#1:
00:53:34.929 – 00:53:36.85
it didn’t touch and change their hearts

Speaker#1:
00:53:37.439 – 00:53:42.929
And she said we had a number of suicides one year that knocked just

Speaker#1:
00:53:43.449 – 00:53:45.739
made me go through some deep soul searching

Speaker#1:
00:53:46.34 – 00:53:51.35
and she goes I realized that we’re not allowing people to be authentic and real

Speaker#1:
00:53:51.86 – 00:53:58.189
We’re we’re indoctrinating them and giving them a stamp of approval and we’re not teaching them to think

Speaker#1:
00:53:59.86 – 00:54:11.07
But then then from that turning point she became this person who started to ask the questions how do we empower people to these kids to be the best that they can be

Speaker#1:
00:54:12.34 – 00:54:20.51
And the story she would always tell me is that when you see a duck walking with all their ducklings that duck isn’t always looking back to see if they’re falling

Speaker#1:
00:54:21.899 – 00:54:30.3
that duck is walking and expecting that they’re going to be in line and they’re in line and they’re not wandering off She said it’s the power of expectation

Speaker#1:
00:54:31.659 – 00:54:48.04
the power of expectation I’ve read books on this It’s amazing Like one of the guys that was the teacher at a at a college and when he got a number of sections of this class another professor said oh wow you’ve got the honors class

Speaker#1:
00:54:49.77 – 00:54:54.79
And that’s all he said to him And you know the section was the honor section So he said I taught and they were

Speaker#2:
00:54:54.8 – 00:55:04.84
all good but this class was spectacular They they were just amazing It was like drawing the life out of me And we had these incredible classes and then one of the dean said

Speaker#1:
00:55:04.85 – 00:55:06.729
hey how’s how’s classes going

Speaker#1:
00:55:07.3 – 00:55:08.36
And he goes it’s

Speaker#2:
00:55:08.37 – 00:55:09.239
they’re good But

Speaker#1:
00:55:09.25 – 00:55:13.56
that the honors class is absolutely amazing I can’t believe how spectacular it is

Speaker#1:
00:55:14.08 – 00:55:19.419
And he said huh that’s interesting because we stopped the honors class last year this year

Speaker#1:
00:55:20.489 – 00:55:22.449
when we mix the kids all up together

Speaker#1:
00:55:23.55 – 00:55:27.05
And he realized the only difference about that class was his expectation

Speaker#1:
00:55:28.07 – 00:55:30.61
And they rose up to the level of expectation

Speaker#1:
00:55:31.389 – 00:55:47.04
They actually ran studies where they I think it was mice where they took mice and they gave people mice and they’re really the same mice but they didn’t tell them They said these are super smart mice They come from generations of super smart mice You need that that expectation being the person Then

Speaker#1:
00:55:47.189 – 00:56:04.379
those mice got out of the maze and gave the bunch of the other guys mice And they said listen these are the stupidest mice ever They come from a long line of stupid mice and they couldn’t get out of it And then later they told him the only difference between the mice was the expectation we set in you about who they are

Speaker#1:
00:56:05.239 – 00:56:17.649
So when I’m reading the rabbis and they’re commenting on one of the conflicts between Moses and God in their conversations their takeaway is that leaders have to believe in the people that they’re leading

Speaker#1:
00:56:18.989 – 00:56:20.85
They have to expect the best from them

Speaker#1:
00:56:21.699 – 00:56:26.33
right We have to expect their success We have to expect them to do Well

Speaker#1:
00:56:27.639 – 00:56:36.199
I I mean I I remember talking to on the kids and like when we treat you this way you know what what are we really saying we expect you to do wrong

Speaker#1:
00:56:36.81 – 00:56:40.26
I go I know but we have to do that for liability reasons

Speaker#1:
00:56:40.87 – 00:56:44.699
but it breaks my heart because it’s not getting to the heart

Speaker#1:
00:56:45.3 – 00:56:50.08
And when we expect people better if we expect better from people we tend to

Speaker#1:
00:56:50.77 – 00:56:52.33
to get better from people

Speaker#1:
00:56:53.33 – 00:57:13.699
When we start to expect more from God we expect more of his presence in our meetings We tend to expect better from one another without condemnation or contempt or anger There’s a form of expectation that’s not legalistic but that’s life giving It creates a culture of life and a culture of expectation

Speaker#1:
00:57:14.3 – 00:57:22.34
I’m just throwing these ideas out here because as we’re talking about the kind of community that we want to build together

Speaker#1:
00:57:22.86 – 00:57:25.399
these kind of values need to be at the heart of it

Speaker#1:
00:57:26.37 – 00:57:28.949
If they they really are transformational

Speaker#1:
00:57:29.469 – 00:57:30.439
they are

Speaker#1:
00:57:31.59 – 00:57:36.06
we want to be a people that are committed to raising up the sons and daughters of liberty

Speaker#1:
00:57:36.59 – 00:57:51.59
And that means learning the mechanics of how liberty is achieved in our lives how liberty is achieved in our community how to raise up and empower the image of God and man how to reproduce sons of God

Speaker#1:
00:57:52.219 – 00:57:55.36
how to go and make
