1 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,600 Good morning, all righty. If you have your Bible with you, 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,560 I sure. Hope you do. 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:13,640 Won't you open up to Galatians chapter 5 while you're turning 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,920 there if you don't know? Your Bible actually has a. 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,240 Table of contents up front if you need to find it. 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,040 Yeah, if if it's unfamiliar territory. 7 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,320 Now, being facetious, we're going to be in Galatians 5. 8 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,320 Actually, what I want to do today is I want to take a 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,040 little. Bit of a leaf out of Rory's 10 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,560 book. I don't know if you were here if 11 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,400 you've been in three CR that long, but the very first Sunday 12 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,000 nights. That Rory preached here at 3 CR 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,720 we're. Still in our in our tent, he 14 00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:45,240 said this, he said, I want to invite you into my study as we 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,960 go through the scripture together. 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,560 And that's really what I want to do. 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,840 I want to invite you into my study. 18 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,720 As we look at. This portion of Galatians 19 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,080 chapter 5 because I want to. As Ross said, I want. 20 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,320 To have you look over my shoulder. 21 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,360 To see scripture the way I've. Found scripture to be during the 22 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,280 week to to see the nuances there, to see the words that 23 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,760 link together and the argument that Paul's unpacking not only 24 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,720 so that you can, you know, highlight this and take it home 25 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,640 tomorrow and Tuesday, Wednesday, but also maybe that you take 26 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,760 some tools. Away today. 27 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,560 That you can bring to bear on the book of Jonah when we change 28 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,960 series in a few weeks time and learn to unpack. 29 00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:21,640 Scripture for yourself. Get to know. 30 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,920 This God who loves to speak to his children. 31 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,880 So if you're there, we're in Galatians chapter 5. 32 00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:29,840 I'm going to read from verse 13. Cover what Rory covered. 33 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,720 And then into this week's proportion says you, my brothers 34 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,000 and sisters were. Called to be. 35 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,440 Free, but do not use your freedom to indulge the. 36 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,760 Flesh rather serve. One another humbly in love for 37 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,760 the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command. 38 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,000 Love your neighbor as. Yourself if. 39 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,320 You bite and devour each other. Watch out or. 40 00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:49,200 You'll be destroyed. By each other. 41 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,360 So I say. Walk by the Spirit and you will 42 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,400 not gratify the. Desires of the flesh, for the 43 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,080 flesh desires what is. Contrary to the Spirit and the 44 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,960 Spirit, What is contrary? To the flesh. 45 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,200 They are in conflict. With each other. 46 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,920 So that you are not to do what you want, but if you are led by 47 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,560 the Spirit, you're not under the law. 48 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,680 The acts of the flesh are obvious sexual. 49 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,880 Immorality, impurity and debauchery. 50 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,280 Idolatry and witchcraft. Supporting western province 51 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,360 hatred. Discord. 52 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,640 Jealousy. Sorry. 53 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,560 Are you not in my study? Come on. 54 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,480 It's there. It's there. 55 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,200 You see? Yeah, but two or three agree. 56 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,880 Hatred, discord. Jealousy fits. 57 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,040 Of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy, 58 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,880 drunkenness, orgies and the like. 59 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,640 I warn you as I did. Before that, those who. 60 00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:37,960 Live like this will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 61 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,000 But the fruit of the Spirit is Lovejoy, peace. 62 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,720 Forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and 63 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,840 self-control. Against such things there is no 64 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,600 law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus 65 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,800 have. Crucified the flesh. 66 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,720 With its passions and desires since we live. 67 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,160 By the Spirit let. Us keep in step. 68 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,400 With the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, 69 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,960 provoking and envying each other. 70 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,280 Now, if you're sitting there listening to that, it's like 71 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,600 drinking from a fire hose, right? 72 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,200 There's so much. Going on. 73 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,800 OK, so where I start and where I encourage? 74 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,840 You to start is just read. And reread and reread. 75 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,080 Maybe look at it in context. Read the. 76 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,760 Whole of chapter 5. Or in context within the book of 77 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,600 Galatians, starting from the beginning and just picking it up 78 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,400 and maybe you start noticing some. 79 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,240 Words that are repeated. I know one thing that Roy loves 80 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,320 to do when he approaches the book. 81 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,080 Of the Bible is he highlights. The names of God. 82 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,440 It's like, what is it of God that he's? 83 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,120 Wanting to put on display here. What? 84 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,080 One of my Bible college lecturers said, and I highly 85 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,720 recommended is don't just. Go to your favorite. 86 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,320 Version. Maybe take an ESV as well as an 87 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,360 NRV or NLT and read through it see see the different colors and 88 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,280 nuances there. It's interesting what you 89 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,040 discover. I read. 90 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,240 I read. Through the message version this 91 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,000 morning and it's just it. Brought a. 92 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,320 Whole new angle to what Paul is saying here and then what I. 93 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,920 Do is I like to? Try and pick up on sort of the. 94 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,920 Thread of the. Argument that's that's going 95 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,480 through there and I want to I want to show you what I picked 96 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,840 up on when it comes. To this because Paul. 97 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,840 Is he's a genius, right? I don't think what we what I'm 98 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,680 going to show you is a coincidence. 99 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,000 So if we put up the. 1011 verses. 100 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,880 That we've that I've just read. For you. 101 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,279 OK, those are the verses. You'll notice that, Paul. 102 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,560 Bookends his argument and we'll. Highlight that for you, so he 103 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,920 says. Right at the very beginning, if 104 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,120 you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be 105 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,920 destroyed by each other and on the other end they does not 106 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,880 become conceited, provoking and envying each other. 107 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:37,840 Now this kind of jumped out at me. 108 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:40,120 Because Paul's been going after the Judaizers. 109 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,240 And those who want to bring them in for circumcision, everything. 110 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,360 And suddenly turns the sights on the people in three. 111 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,160 CR and as we're. Talking about those baddies with 112 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,760 the guns and the knives out there. 113 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,880 Now all of a sudden he turns his focus on the Galatians 114 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,880 themselves, and he makes quite a statement there. 115 00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,120 If you bite and devour each other, watch. 116 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,560 Out or you'll be destroyed by each other. 117 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,280 He's basically saying this is what's going down at the moment. 118 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,880 This is what's happening in your ranks. 119 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,720 And that caught my attention and I sort of stewed on it. 120 00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:15,680 I like to say marinated in the word. 121 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,400 I'm like, Lord, what is? What? 122 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,960 What's this issue? Here and I was reminded and and 123 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,840 this can only be God because. This. 124 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,920 Book I think I've got in 2011. I was reminded it's Michael 125 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,920 Eaton. The book is called No 126 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,160 condemnation. Don't read it. 127 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,240 It's. A textbook, it says. 128 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,840 Thesis on the law and. It's like proper high grade 129 00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:34,200 stuff. But in it. 130 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,960 He says the following. He tells the story right at the 131 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,000 very. Beginning because it seems. 132 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,120 Like. Michael Eaton, as a preacher, 133 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,840 had noticed the same was happening in his congregation. 134 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,040 He says the following. He says I began to feel very 135 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,720 dissatisfied with my preaching. He said my preaching seemed to 136 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,400 be producing converts who are narrow minded, introspective 137 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,360 and. Pharisaical, in Paul's words. 138 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,160 They were biting and devouring at each other, on the brink of 139 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,960 destroying each other, conceited, provoking and envying 140 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,840 each other, he says. Us all the same thing, he says. 141 00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:12,880 I was beginning to see that they were being that my preaching. 142 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,640 Of God's grace was. Producing a resemblance not to 143 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,040 the New Testament Christians, but to the New Testament 144 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,200 Pharisees. And it bothered him, bothered 145 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,360 him to no end. So he says the following, he 146 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,440 says, I began to think along these lines when my father was 147 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,280 very ill. He was worried his father was 148 00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:34,720 going to pass away. So he went back home to London 149 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,840 to be with his dad during this trying time and while he was 150 00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:38,320 there. He said I. 151 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,480 Thought to himself, You know what? 152 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,440 This is the perfect. Opportunity to sit under the. 153 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,800 Best of the best preachers. And see where I've gone wrong. 154 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,200 Maybe I can learn something about why it is that I'm 155 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,120 preaching. Grace, but people are. 156 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,160 Living Law. So he said the following, he 157 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,280 says. I went to a famous church to 158 00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:56,560 hear a man who was well known for his preaching. 159 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,960 Although his. Exposition of Hosea 14 was 160 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,600 accurate, well prepared and delivered in a way that held my 161 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,880 attention. This is what he noticed. 162 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,000 No one in the fellowship seemed to have the. 163 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,400 Slightest. Interest in me, homesick for my 164 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,760 family and their friendliness. I was amazed that no one said a 165 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,760 word to me and decided I would simply stand at the back of the 166 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,920 church and wait. Surely someone would say 167 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,840 something to me. Slowly, the worshippers drifted 168 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,920 off. It was a cold, rainy night and I 169 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,840 had nowhere to go except the 20 kilometers to my dying father. 170 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,880 Finally, there was just two of us left on the. 171 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,560 Steps of the Church. Myself and the preacher who had 172 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,240 apparently been left to lock up the building. 173 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,280 He put on his raincoat, stepped out into the rain and as he 174 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,440 walked away from me. Shouted over his shoulder. 175 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,480 Good night. I stood in front of the church 176 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,960 building for some minutes with the wind blowing the rain in my 177 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,080 face. Was this? 178 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,640 I asked myself. Really the fruits of. 179 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,600 Preaching. The Gospel of Grace or had I 180 00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,000 lost the plot? And he says while he's driving 181 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,640 home, he's stirred in his heart. He's. 182 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,440 Like grieving, he's like. Father. 183 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,640 The fruit of my. Preaching is the same fruit of 184 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,640 his preaching. What is missing here? 185 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,440 And he was reminded about the book of Galatians. 186 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,560 He said the following. Sorry, he said the following. 187 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,000 He said. I went and I studied the book of 188 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000 Galatians, and I found I could only. 189 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,680 Regret that it. Took me so long to accept 190 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,680 Galatians in its totality. I believed in the. 191 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,240 First half that. Christians are saved by. 192 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,600 Grace, but I had failed to live. The second-half that you're not 193 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,640 under the law I. Believed the first half the. 194 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,360 Christians are. Saved by grace. 195 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,680 But I wasn't living the fact that I was no longer under the 196 00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:46,240 law. What he is saying here? 197 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,960 He realized the. Problem in his preaching. 198 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,320 To those he was. Preaching to and to himself. 199 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,400 As a preacher. Was that it's one thing to know 200 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,360 the gospel and know. About Grace, It's a. 201 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,880 Complete different thing to. Live it that. 202 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,720 Was the dissonance. There was a dissonance with 203 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,040 Michael Eaton, There was the dissonance with Paul and the 204 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,440 church in Galatia. And that is the dissonance. 205 00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:11,520 With us. Here in three CR. 206 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,000 See, we love to say, oh, I go to three CI got the best coffee. 207 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,160 Greatest music? It's air. 208 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,880 Conditioned and climate controlled and we. 209 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:27,280 Preach grace, but people. Avoid you and you're prickly and 210 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,480 arrogant and opinionated because you haven't applied the. 211 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,080 Gospel. You're living under the law. 212 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,880 Or you can say, oh, the grace of God by. 213 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:45,920 Christ alone, faith alone. But you are so stingy that the 214 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,680 waiters. On Sunday, try to avoid your 215 00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:50,000 table because they know they're just going to get complaints and 216 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,680 there's going to be like a couple of cents left because 217 00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:55,840 you're not applying the gospel. Or you can save. 218 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,840 You're a blood. Bored Jesus believing St. 219 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,120 But you walk into that office and the atmosphere turns toxic 220 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,400 because you're grumpy and self-centered and all you want 221 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,240 to do is crush the competition because you're not applying the 222 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,360 grace, You're not applying the gospel. 223 00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:17,960 You know it, but you're not living it. 224 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,680 And so that's where. Paul starts, he starts with the 225 00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:26,520 problem, says this is our. Problem 3 CR So Blanche and my 226 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,240 life group leader said to me on Tuesday said we come to the 227 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,240 conclusion that you and RAW are just getting up there week after 228 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,880 week and saying. Do you get it yet? 229 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,720 Do you get it yet? Do you get it yet? 230 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,800 Because that's what Paul is doing. 231 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,680 Do you get it yet? Do you get it yet? 232 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,800 No, you don't get. It yet because you're not 233 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,320 applying the gospel, you're not living it. 234 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,160 You can say I get it. I understand it. 235 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,240 Yeah, I've heard. This all before but are you? 236 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,400 Living it. So that's the bookend. 237 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,240 That's the problem. Now if we bring up those 1011. 238 00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,840 Verses he also has a bull's eye. This is what Paul. 239 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,680 'S going after. If that's the problem, this is 240 00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:04,760 what he's aiming for. You can highlight it for us. 241 00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:07,120 I've expanded it just. A little bit. 242 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,320 It's like. Right in the middle there he 243 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,480 says the following. Says the acts of the. 244 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,280 Flesh are obvious. Maybe this was? 245 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,800 Your bulls are before you got saved, you know. 246 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,280 Sexual immorality and purity and debauchery, Idolatry and 247 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,040 witchcraft, Hatred, discord, jealousy and fits of rage. 248 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,120 Selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy. 249 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,000 Drunkenness, orgies and the like. 250 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,360 But the new Bulls are. The fruit of the Spirit Lovejoy. 251 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,160 Peace. Forbearance, kindness, goodness, 252 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,680 faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. 253 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,080 That's beautiful. So no, no, no, we're not. 254 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,080 We're not walking this way. We're walking this way. 255 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,600 But here's something that I noticed, and I looked in every 256 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,280 translation I could find, even the original Greek. 257 00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:53,400 One thing I noticed about that bullseye Paul never says. 258 00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:56,800 Stop it. Not once. 259 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,000 Hey, he doesn't say drunkenness. Stop it. 260 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,560 He doesn't even say. Witchcraft. 261 00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:07,200 Stop it. Why? 262 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,000 Because that would be to apply the law. 263 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,960 And while your legal parameters are twitching, here's another 264 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,800 problem. He doesn't say. 265 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,880 Do it. He doesn't say. 266 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:28,600 Be joyful, be kind, be more faithful, because that would be 267 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,760 to apply the law. Take a look at verse 22. 268 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,520 It says, but the fruit of the what? 269 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,720 He doesn't even say the fruit of the Christian like your 270 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,720 mother-in-law. Says I thought Christians he. 271 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:50,320 Doesn't even do that. Did I hit a nerve bro? 272 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,720 So he says the problem is, the problem is. 273 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,960 You think you know Grace here, but actually you're living under 274 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,280 the law. The bull's eyes. 275 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,160 I want. You to bear the fruit of the 276 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,560 spirit, but it. Doesn't give us like how you 277 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,680 know that's what I want. Give me the 10 steps and I'll 278 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:17,840 smash. It actually I'll bear the best. 279 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,920 Fruit you've ever seen. But he doesn't do that, and 280 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,840 therein lies the problem. Because what we like. 281 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,520 To do in our pragmatic achiever. Crush it. 282 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,720 Name it climate, frame it Christianity. 283 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,440 Is we like? To say, OK, it's not the law, 284 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,200 but I'm going to. Absolutely smash this. 285 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,920 I'm going to put law on this this. 286 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,640 Walk with the Spirit. But if you really. 287 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,040 See it? There's no stop it. 288 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,040 There's no do it. He just puts the. 289 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,080 Picture in front of us. Which? 290 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,800 Begs the question, how then? How then should we live? 291 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,040 Which is wonderful. Because that is the answer that 292 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,480 Paul gives us. Actually, he starts with the 293 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,520 word. So I say before we go back to 294 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,400 the screens, he says. So I say. 295 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,920 So he's just said if you button devour each other, watch. 296 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,400 Out or you'll be destroyed. By each other verse 15 and he's 297 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,560 going to verse eight sorry verse 22 the. 298 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:17,160 Fruit of the Spirit. Says OK, so how we get from here 299 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,360 to here? The first thing he says. 300 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,000 So I say, and that is. The Greek word Lego don't. 301 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,400 Know if you know. Lego, they got their. 302 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,800 Name from this word. Lego. 303 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,800 What happens when you get the Millennial Falcon 7 1/2 thousand 304 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,400 pieces? They give you a. 305 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,080 Little booklet says this. Is how you go from that mess. 306 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,520 To the bullseye. Take this block and you put it 307 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,560 there. You take this block and you put 308 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,480 it there. Even if you know Pete, you're 309 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,800 building Bobby's bedroom. Same thing. 310 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,440 Just less pages. And that's exactly. 311 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,360 What Paul does here, so I say. So let's put those verses back 312 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,560 up. And if you have a pen underline 313 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,440 in verse 16, he says. So I say. 314 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,120 Lego building block walk. By the. 315 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,720 Spirit Lego Building block, verse 18. 316 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,440 Led by the Spirit. Lego verse 22. 317 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,480 Fruit of the Spirit. Lego Next building block verse 318 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,320 25 Keep in step. With the Spirit, I'll keep it 319 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,600 up. There for you, Dennis, because. 320 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,000 You look like you're struggling all right. 321 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,600 So it says we're going from here to here. 322 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,720 Walk by the Spirit, led by the Spirit. 323 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,120 Bear fruit by the Spirit. And keep in step with the 324 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,640 spirit. Now this I'll need you to know 325 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,640 to frame before we take the next step when it says walk. 326 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,440 By the Spirit who's. Doing The Walking? 327 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,040 No, it's not Jesus. I know at Sunday school the 328 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,400 answer is always. Jesus, who's? 329 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,400 Doing The Walking me. OK, You can write there, 330 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,200 Stephen. No, write. 331 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,200 Write me mine, says Stephen. OK, if you're led. 332 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,040 By the Spirit. Who's doing the leading? 333 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,200 The Spirit, yes, so. You can write spirit there. 334 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,520 Now that word there. I just want to drill down a 335 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,200 little. Bit here if you're led by the 336 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,000 spirit, if you take a direct 2. Dimensional translation. 337 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,120 It's the English word impel. I think they don't use it there 338 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,040 because no one really talks about impelling one another. 339 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,640 Impale, yes, but impel is not such a common word. 340 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,000 But to impel, if you have a pool pump, you have an impeller. 341 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,840 Not a propeller, an impeller. And it draws. 342 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,680 The water out of the pool too to the filter, right? 343 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,760 Or if you. Have a little child maybe? 344 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,360 This is your first winter. We are the maze and you've got a 345 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,120 little Kitty who gets the flu and a snot nose and you take her 346 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:48,920 to. The Doctor. 347 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,880 And the doctor says, OK, what you need is you're going to take 348 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,040 this little. It looks like a syringe. 349 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,200 With this thing cut off and it's got a little tube, you're going 350 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,920 to stick that syringe in your little baby's nose and you're 351 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,400 going to stick the straw. Part into your mouth. 352 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:08,480 And you're going to Impel. True story, it still exists in 353 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:09,680 this. Day we haven't found anything 354 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,880 better and we you just. 2 rules make sure. 355 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,160 You include that little sponge in the middle there the. 356 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:23,200 Stopper, Yeah. You only forget it once and then 357 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,480 from experience and rule number two, stop when the back of the 358 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,160 head starts caving in that you've gone too far. 359 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,400 OK. Who's? 360 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,880 Doing the impelling. Not your little baby. 361 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,680 I'm impelling, OK. If you're. 362 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,440 Impelled by the Spirit. OK, so spirit, fruit of the 363 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,560 spirit, who's bearing? The fruit. 364 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,840 Who's producing the fruit? Spirit. 365 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,520 Keep in. Step with the Spirit who's 366 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:58,320 keeping in step me. OK, so if you have the pen and 367 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,960 you've written, it will be walk by the Spirit me led by the 368 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,720 Spirit Spirit. Fruit of the Spirit. 369 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,680 Spirit, keep in step. With the spirit me basically 370 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,560 what? Paul's saying is. 371 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,480 It's it's a partnership, it's a relationship, OK? 372 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,320 It's not a let go and let God. It's adjoining. 373 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,880 With God. OK, now I'm going to show you 374 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,840 how. Right, says so. 375 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,320 I say Lego.

Desires of the flesh I bought 378 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,160 what? How's that possible? 379 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,120 Or because the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit 380 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,440 and the? Spirit, what is contrary to the 381 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,360 flesh? They are in conflict with one 382 00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:49,000 another. Now I have these imported 383 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000 magnets. Thank you Hannah for arranging 384 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,440 this.

Saying to you and I. 411 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,800 To walk by the Spirit to keep. In step with the Spirit to bear. 412 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,120 Fruit of the Spirit, What is required of us is that we 413 00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:52,680 respond. To the impelling of the Spirit. 414 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,880 It says there if you are LED. If you are impelled by the 415 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,600 Spirit, you're not under the law, you are. 416 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,800 Pulled into the. Purposes and the plans and the 417 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,560 presence and power and resources of God. 418 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,120 I don't know if you. Know the aspirin. 419 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,600 Thank you, Damien. Well done. 420 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,560 Yes, yes. I. 421 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,680 Don't know if you know about the the Asbury revival. 422 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,680 That happened in. February last year. 423 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:22,240 That for. Me was Ground Zero for the 424 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,800 impelling presence of God. I went digging around. 425 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,440 I'm a maven, I think is the name Malcolm Gladwell. 426 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,400 You know, randomly gathering information and stories and, and 427 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,000 statistics and they might be used one day. 428 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:42,280 And so I went through my filing system and I came across 2. 429 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,560 Crazy. Testimonies. 430 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,240 About the Asbury revival and the one was of AI think he's a 431 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,880 priest or? A pastor, he's part of the 432 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,720 Church of England. His name's El Gordon, and he got 433 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,120 wind of the Asbury Revival. And so he found a friend who had 434 00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:01,640 been there, who was at the venue, and he said, oh, you've 435 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,320 got to come. This is the real. 436 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,320 Deal and so Al. And a couple of friends flew 437 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,520 across. And he tells how he tries to 438 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,360 drive. Into Astbury. 439 00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:09,960 I don't know if. You saw the signs, but it was 440 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,720 like. You know, city closed. 441 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,400 Revival. He had to park. 442 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,200 Out in the sticks. And he said he. 443 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,440 Climbed out of that car and something hit him. 444 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,600 He. Said it was just like. 445 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,400 And he said it wasn't comfortable. 446 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,160 It wasn't like climbing at the car at Disneyland, you know. 447 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,320 Yay. Revival. 448 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:33,560 It was God is here, he said. It was like staring. 449 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:38,800 At the sun an Unbeknownst to him, he and the rest of the 450 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,560 people in the car made a beeline for the first patch of grass and 451 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,640 got on their knees. He. 452 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,320 Said he was on. His knees for about 3. 453 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,080 Hours crying. Out to God. 454 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,600 For the areas in his life. Where his? 455 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,840 Heart had turned. From God. 456 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,120 And he said his words. He said. 457 00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:00,480 Listen, I'm not an axe murderer. Said but there was selfish. 458 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,640 Ambition in there there. Was arrogance, There was 459 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,120 insecurity. And it just felt like as much as 460 00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:09,440 I wanted to draw near to God, I was in conflict. 461 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,280 I had to turn, John Tyson, who had the privilege of actually 462 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,920 sharing it, one of the meetings, said before he went up on stage 463 00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:19,760 himself. And pretty much anyone who took 464 00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:25,240 center stage went through a consecration room and they would 465 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,800 spend hours there until they felt that. 466 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,760 A release. And he said the band, the 467 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,320 musicians, people who had a prophetic. 468 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,000 Word, those who are. Leading the tongue, we're going 469 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,600 to this consecration room that pray over them that wait on God 470 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,440 and here were some of the questions that they were asked. 471 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,000 Is there? Anything in your heart right now 472 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,040 that is going to. Stop you from hosting. 473 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,760 The glory. Of God see they. 474 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,800 Understood. That the. 475 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,160 Spirit and the flesh are in conflict with one another. 476 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,160 You're not going to move in there. 477 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,480 Someone's going to be pushed out and he needed to have his heart 478 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,640 turned that says, is there any sin you need to confess that's 479 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,760 going to stop the. Power of God flowing through 480 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,080 your life. Is there any? 481 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,880 Any sin, anything that's got you turned from the presence of God 482 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,800 that you need to repent of and turn back so that you can be 483 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,760 impelled by the presence and the ministry can continue. 484 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,160 And that shouldn't surprise us because. 485 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,080 If you know anything. About the aspirator revival. 486 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,280 I've got a photo here of actually where it started. 487 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,600 It's it's an amazing. Picture you can pop it up for me 488 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:33,240 and Nick. All that happened, it was a 489 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,760 dinky. Little, almost a school assembly 490 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,520 kind of the moment. So 3040. 491 00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:39,920 People there. And a few. 492 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,400 Of them. Went forward to turn their 493 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,320 hearts to God. And there's. 494 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:51,400 Something about a heart turned to God that he can't resist that 495 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,680 impelling nature of the. Spirit just and. 496 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,760 Friends gathered around. I love the picture of the girl. 497 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,920 Lying on the. Stage the musician and of course 498 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,760 10s of thousands of people traveled from around the world. 499 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,560 But if you couldn't? Get in. 500 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,400 It's no. Surprise you? 501 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,040 Want to see what it looked like outside? 502 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,440 Before going. Anywhere near the presence of 503 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,280 God there was this. Urge. 504 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,400 And it wasn't an announcement, OK. 505 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,560 Everybody, we're all going to go down on our knees now. 506 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,360 It was just the reality that God comes where. 507 00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:31,600 He's wanted and the closer you get. 508 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,120 To God just feels like this heart that has turned away. 509 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,520 Needs to be turned back. And the impelling? 510 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,520 Nature of God would. Draw them in. 511 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,520 And that's what Paul is saying here. 512 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,080 He's not saying. Here's A to do list, here's a. 513 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,360 Checklist here's. Things that need to be repented 514 00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:54,520 of. All he's saying is if you turn 515 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,640 because there's a part. That we play. 516 00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:58,680 Walk by. The Spirit keep in step with the 517 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,120 spirit. It's a relationship and. 518 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,240 Where we've turned in our relationship, he says. 519 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:08,120 If you turn back, you will be. Impelled by the Spirit, God 520 00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:12,320 comes. Where he's wanted and so that's 521 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,280 I'll close. With this, that is the theology. 522 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,600 Those are the bones of what Paul is going after in Luke 15. 523 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,240 Jesus puts a body to those bones. 524 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,040 And he tells Pharisees. Teachers of the law. 525 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,880 Tax. Collectors and sinners, and. 526 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,080 Advocates and. Advocates and province 527 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:38,760 supporters. About the prodigal son who takes 528 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,760 his. Inheritance turns from the 529 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,760 father squanders that inheritance in wild living. 530 00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:49,200 Prostitutes, you name it. Pretty much all of Galatians 5. 531 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,000 But what happens, he says, when he came to his senses? 532 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,040 He turned. And you know what? 533 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:01,360 He found he found a father in the maintenance. 534 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,480 He found the father. He didn't just. 535 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,160 Find a father. He found a waiting father. 536 00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:18,840 Who had been there? Had been there all along, just 537 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,280 waiting for him to turn. Not just a waiting. 538 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,240 Father, but a running father because he's a God who? 539 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:30,040 Impels his children to him. Smothered him in kisses. 540 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:31,960 Covered him. With his robe. 541 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,800 Ring on the. Finger sandals. 542 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,120 Slaughter the fattened. Cough, it's time to feast 543 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,440 because the sun has come home and that's all that. 544 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,800 Paul is saying. He's taking the picture that 545 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,560 Jesus painted and he's given us the bones and he says to you, if 546 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,360 you're. Battered and bruised and. 547 00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:54,400 Bullied by the one that you really trusted? 548 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,680 Just 10. If you're dripping with. 549 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,880 Depression and Anxiety, 10. If you're in the pig star of 550 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,640 porn. Close that. 551 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,680 Laptop 10 if you're. Lonely. 552 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,240 Isolated. Insecure. 553 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,720 If you're a failure, turn if you're in. 554 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,040 The middle of hammering out some desperate attempt to gain the 555 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:24,960 approval. Of the Father, just because. 556 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,240 There in this place.
