1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,240 I opened this up last week looking at the sense that I had 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,160 of the Lord, that in this new season, in this new term time, 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,080 that's there was an invitation from the Lord to go deeper. 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,400 And if you recall, I shared with you a picture the Lord gave me 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,400 of the splash park at Saint Albans Verrillanian Park and the 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,040 sense that we can enjoy the splash park just as children do. 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,520 But there comes a point where there is an invitation to go 8 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,710 into the swimming pool, into the deep, and I think for some of us 9 00:00:29,710 --> 00:00:33,630 we're looking for more splash park apparatus to tickle our 10 00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:36,430 fancy. And yet there is an invitation 11 00:00:36,430 --> 00:00:40,870 from the Lord to go deeper and we can get caught up in the trap 12 00:00:40,870 --> 00:00:44,750 of splash parks. It's not to say splash parks are 13 00:00:44,750 --> 00:00:46,990 wrong. Splash parks have been created 14 00:00:46,990 --> 00:00:51,710 for children, but we are too mature in the in the faith. 15 00:00:51,870 --> 00:00:56,310 That isn't to say that we should not be childlike in our walk. 16 00:00:57,370 --> 00:01:01,610 As Paul says, we need to move progress from from milk to meat. 17 00:01:02,410 --> 00:01:07,890 And I I believe it is the call of the Lord for us as a people 18 00:01:08,170 --> 00:01:11,010 to to take a step back and say, Lord, what? 19 00:01:11,010 --> 00:01:14,930 What are you calling me to? And what does the deep look like 20 00:01:14,930 --> 00:01:18,010 for my life and my world? And we kick things off by 21 00:01:18,010 --> 00:01:21,490 looking at the story where Jesus called the first disciples and 22 00:01:21,490 --> 00:01:24,770 the story of how he and Simon Peter were in the boat. 23 00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:27,420 And we're going to, we're going to read that in a moment. 24 00:01:28,180 --> 00:01:31,900 And I said that the first call before we called to something, 25 00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:37,260 we are called to someone before we called to do, we called to. 26 00:01:37,860 --> 00:01:38,900 Well done. You were listening. 27 00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:43,820 I'm very proud of you that before we get busy, we should 28 00:01:43,820 --> 00:01:48,100 get being. And the temptation in our lives 29 00:01:48,460 --> 00:01:50,340 is always right. I've got to get doing. 30 00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:52,940 In fact, as I said last week, when you meet someone, they're 31 00:01:52,940 --> 00:01:56,660 like, well, what do you do? We hold our identity and our 32 00:01:56,660 --> 00:01:59,300 doing. We we are defined by our doing, 33 00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:03,460 but that's not actually what it should be. 34 00:02:03,580 --> 00:02:07,860 We should be defined by our being, by our identity with 35 00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:10,220 Jesus in the boat. And we unpacked that last week. 36 00:02:10,220 --> 00:02:12,620 And if you missed that, then could I encourage you to catch 37 00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:14,220 up? You can do so on our YouTube 38 00:02:14,220 --> 00:02:15,780 channel. And with that, I'd like to say 39 00:02:15,780 --> 00:02:18,460 hello to all you YouTube watchers and across our other 40 00:02:18,460 --> 00:02:20,700 platforms. Hit the subscribe button and hit 41 00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:22,900 that bell notification to get important updates as they come 42 00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:27,130 through. Thank you very much. 43 00:02:27,130 --> 00:02:32,130 And so I said to you that there were three calls that we read in 44 00:02:32,130 --> 00:02:34,850 this story. The call to be and then the call 45 00:02:34,850 --> 00:02:39,490 to walk in holiness, the call to be with Jesus and the call to 46 00:02:39,490 --> 00:02:42,450 walk in holiness. And that therefore is what we 47 00:02:42,450 --> 00:02:43,890 are going to look at this morning. 48 00:02:44,210 --> 00:02:48,170 But it's going to be part one of the call to walk in holiness. 49 00:02:49,790 --> 00:02:52,030 I mean, let's be honest, the reality is I could preach for 50 00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:55,110 the rest of the year on holiness and still not have done a very 51 00:02:55,110 --> 00:03:00,990 good job of it. I I was preparing this talk this 52 00:03:00,990 --> 00:03:06,230 week saying to the Lord Lord how on earth doesn't me, me, a mere 53 00:03:06,230 --> 00:03:13,390 human, convey Your Holiness. And the reality is I will not be 54 00:03:13,390 --> 00:03:18,390 able to do a good enough job. But I have faith and trust in 55 00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:23,990 the Lord that he will breathe on my words and hit you where it 56 00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:28,390 needs to be hit, so to speak, because this is a living, 57 00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:31,190 breathing word. You know, Paul said, I don't 58 00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:35,190 speak with the eloquence of man, but it is the power of the 59 00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:37,110 messages. And he says in Rome as well, I'm 60 00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:41,030 not afraid of the gospel because it is the power of God unto 61 00:03:41,070 --> 00:03:43,550 salvation. And I believe that today is a 62 00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:46,500 day of salvation. I believe that none of you are 63 00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:49,460 here by accident, whether you're in the in the room or online, 64 00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:52,100 and that God wants to speak to you this morning. 65 00:03:52,780 --> 00:03:56,060 So with that way of introduction, let us turn 66 00:03:56,060 --> 00:03:59,740 together to our text that we have been looking at, which is 67 00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:05,020 in Luke, chapter 51 to 11. And as I said to you, there are 68 00:04:05,020 --> 00:04:06,860 the three calls that we find in here. 69 00:04:06,860 --> 00:04:08,980 So let's read this together. Be on the screen, in the room 70 00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:13,210 and on your device at home. Let me read it on one occasion 71 00:04:13,210 --> 00:04:15,130 while the crowd was pressing in on him. 72 00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:16,690 That's Jesus, to hear the word of God. 73 00:04:16,930 --> 00:04:20,370 He was standing by the lake of Gnessarat, which is also the Sea 74 00:04:20,370 --> 00:04:23,370 of Galilee, and he saw two boats by the lake. 75 00:04:23,970 --> 00:04:26,210 But the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their 76 00:04:26,210 --> 00:04:29,530 Nets, Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's. 77 00:04:29,530 --> 00:04:33,610 He asked him to put out a little from the land. 78 00:04:33,930 --> 00:04:37,330 Remember that? And he sat down and taught the 79 00:04:37,330 --> 00:04:40,970 people from the boat and when he had finished speaking, he said 80 00:04:40,970 --> 00:04:45,170 to Simon, put out into the deep and let your net down for a 81 00:04:45,170 --> 00:04:48,090 catch. I'm an answered master. 82 00:04:48,610 --> 00:04:55,170 We toiled all night and took nothing and the reason they did 83 00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:57,850 so at night was that's when you went fishing at night time. 84 00:04:58,690 --> 00:05:00,250 That's what the professionals knew. 85 00:05:01,090 --> 00:05:06,010 But you non fisherman professional, I put that in 86 00:05:06,010 --> 00:05:09,140 that's that's not actually in the scripture at your word. 87 00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:14,260 I will let down the Nets. And when they've done this, they 88 00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:18,740 include a large number of fish. And their Nets were breaking. 89 00:05:18,980 --> 00:05:21,460 They signaled to their partners and other boats to come and help 90 00:05:21,460 --> 00:05:24,060 them, and they came and filled the boat so that they began to 91 00:05:24,060 --> 00:05:27,420 sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he 92 00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:32,060 fell down at Jesus's knees saying depart from me. 93 00:05:32,260 --> 00:05:37,020 For I am a sinful man, oh Lord. And we're going to look at that 94 00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:40,460 part next week. For he and all who were with him 95 00:05:40,460 --> 00:05:43,380 were astonished at the catch of fish they had already taken. 96 00:05:43,660 --> 00:05:46,580 And so also where James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were 97 00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:49,780 partners with Simon and Jesus, said to Simon, do not be afraid. 98 00:05:53,060 --> 00:05:56,100 From now on you will be catching men. 99 00:05:56,660 --> 00:05:58,740 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left 100 00:05:58,740 --> 00:06:10,410 everything and followed him. I read there that Jesus said, 101 00:06:10,410 --> 00:06:12,570 let's put out a little from the land. 102 00:06:14,610 --> 00:06:19,370 There was something that occurred in that moment that is 103 00:06:19,410 --> 00:06:23,170 a prophetic type for what we're going to look at this morning. 104 00:06:24,650 --> 00:06:28,690 Because holiness, I don't know about you, but you don't often 105 00:06:28,690 --> 00:06:31,010 hear preaches or talks on holiness. 106 00:06:32,170 --> 00:06:34,370 But when we hear the word holiness, what do you think 107 00:06:34,370 --> 00:06:39,840 about probably right living? I mean, there is so many 108 00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:41,840 scriptures. Are they not in the in the Bible 109 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,760 a command to abstain from fleshly lust? 110 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,360 Make no provision for the flesh. Love not the world or the things 111 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,920 of the world. Flee immorality. 112 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,440 Throw off the old man and put on the new. 113 00:06:56,590 --> 00:06:58,110 Think on what is good and what is true. 114 00:06:58,110 --> 00:07:01,230 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly present ourselves as 115 00:07:01,230 --> 00:07:04,830 a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. 116 00:07:05,030 --> 00:07:09,510 Lay aside or evil and malice, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. 117 00:07:09,750 --> 00:07:13,830 There is embedded within the message of the gospel this call 118 00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:16,710 to holiness. But here is, I think, where we 119 00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:21,150 get unstuck. We we are, we hear that and 120 00:07:21,150 --> 00:07:22,710 we're like, what do I do with that? 121 00:07:25,030 --> 00:07:28,630 And the questions that I want to answer this morning are the 122 00:07:28,630 --> 00:07:32,310 questions that I have and I suspect you may have or have had 123 00:07:32,310 --> 00:07:35,430 at some point, which is this? What does holiness actually 124 00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:38,150 mean? Don't be embarrassed. 125 00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:42,550 If you wondering what does holiness really mean? 126 00:07:43,390 --> 00:07:46,230 Why is this important? Why is there this call for 127 00:07:46,230 --> 00:07:50,230 holiness? And how on earth can walking in 128 00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:53,870 holiness be achieved? And how on earth that was 129 00:07:53,870 --> 00:07:58,060 intended? How on earth can this be 130 00:07:58,060 --> 00:07:59,860 achieved? And therefore that is what I 131 00:07:59,860 --> 00:08:01,300 want to do with the remainder of our time. 132 00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:04,260 The remainder of the 2 1/2 hours that I have with you on the 133 00:08:04,260 --> 00:08:06,780 tour. Lock the doors. 134 00:08:11,380 --> 00:08:13,340 What does it mean that God is holy? 135 00:08:13,340 --> 00:08:15,980 Have you ever wondered that? I mean, we sing it. 136 00:08:15,980 --> 00:08:19,740 We sang it this morning. Such wonderful refrains of holy, 137 00:08:19,740 --> 00:08:23,830 holy, holy. We read it in Revelation when 138 00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:27,630 the Seraphine and and the creatures were were proclaiming 139 00:08:27,630 --> 00:08:31,990 holy, holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and who is and 140 00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:33,549 is to come. We pray it. 141 00:08:34,030 --> 00:08:39,070 Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed Holy be your name. 142 00:08:39,070 --> 00:08:40,870 But what on earth are we singing? 143 00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:46,630 What on earth are we praying? I'm glad you asked me that 144 00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:49,550 question. If you haven't, then you should 145 00:08:49,550 --> 00:08:52,410 ask me that question. The whole the word holy comes 146 00:08:52,410 --> 00:08:59,330 from the Hebrew word kadosh, which actually means to cut. 147 00:09:01,770 --> 00:09:06,530 And you see what holy means. The root of holy means to be cut 148 00:09:06,970 --> 00:09:12,290 off or another way, to be separate from from everything 149 00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:15,410 else. Being holy means to be cut off, 150 00:09:15,410 --> 00:09:18,570 to be separate from everything else. 151 00:09:19,210 --> 00:09:21,370 Or or to put it another way that you might have heard this 152 00:09:21,370 --> 00:09:26,850 phrase, it means other than other than completely separate, 153 00:09:27,010 --> 00:09:32,170 separate, and transcendent. Transcendent means trans means 154 00:09:32,330 --> 00:09:38,730 above and beyond, completely transcendent from us, completely 155 00:09:38,810 --> 00:09:42,810 separate. And so you see, God is distinct, 156 00:09:44,090 --> 00:09:50,080 separate, transcendent, other than from anything else and 157 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,520 anyone else that has ever been or ever will be. 158 00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:57,760 He is in his own class of his own. 159 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,400 He's above and beyond the range of our normal and physical human 160 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,360 experiences. He is a super natural God. 161 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,440 You know, in the 19th century, theologians on the back of the 162 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:20,120 Enlightenment try to reduce God to nature and in so doing remove 163 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:29,190 the holiness of God. You know, Adam McKinnon, and I'm 164 00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:31,030 Adam, was leading worship this morning. 165 00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:34,790 We're speaking this week and I love the phrase we're talking 166 00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:36,990 about worship songs and type of worship songs, he said. 167 00:10:36,990 --> 00:10:40,590 You know, there's the Father, the Father's house songs and 168 00:10:40,590 --> 00:10:43,670 there's the throne room of God's songs kind of like that. 169 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,560 Because I think that that speaks to the reality and the paradox 170 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,200 that even though God is other than that he is holy, that there 171 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:59,720 is a throne room that he calls us to know him and to be known 172 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:05,360 and to be our Father. Someone say Amen. 173 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:20,760 Don't leave me hanging people. We are in danger when sometimes 174 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,640 we reduce God to our best mates and a dad that will bend over 175 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,880 backwards for us. And in so doing we remove the 176 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,360 holiness of God. Now clearly you cannot remove 177 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,240 the holiness of God and how you relate to God. 178 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,310 You can do so. We need to understand that he is 179 00:11:41,310 --> 00:11:48,070 holy and transcendent and other than and separate from us, and 180 00:11:48,070 --> 00:11:53,230 yet at the same time he wants to be known and calls us to 181 00:11:53,230 --> 00:12:00,550 Himself. The second part of Kadosh is 182 00:12:00,550 --> 00:12:05,800 also moral purity. It's entirely and completely 183 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,080 morally pure all the time and in every possible way. 184 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:15,960 And so it has those two anchor points to that word that God is 185 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,240 transcendent and other than and in a class and a distinction of 186 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,680 his own, and he is therefore morally pure. 187 00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:27,000 Why He doesn't attain a level of standard. 188 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:32,610 He is the standard. We don't like that fact because, 189 00:12:32,970 --> 00:12:35,130 you know, a lot of people would justify themselves based on 190 00:12:35,130 --> 00:12:36,290 their comparison with other people. 191 00:12:36,370 --> 00:12:39,970 Well, I'm a good guy. You should see Fred down the 192 00:12:39,970 --> 00:12:41,090 road. He's terrible. 193 00:12:43,250 --> 00:12:46,850 People would justify themselves not by the blood of Christ but 194 00:12:46,850 --> 00:12:50,970 by a comparison of works. I'm sorry to say, as Paul says, 195 00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:53,050 all our righteous. These are but rags. 196 00:12:54,210 --> 00:12:57,170 I, I, I went over the speed limit this morning. 197 00:12:59,210 --> 00:13:07,420 Yeah, by about 1 1/2 mph. Just to clarify, this is 198 00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:09,300 documented. I'd like to say for the police 199 00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:13,300 that might be watching this, that it was for only a few 200 00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:19,660 seconds and like, but I sinned. That is a sin because Paul calls 201 00:13:19,660 --> 00:13:23,740 us to obey the civil rules and regulations that we're in. 202 00:13:24,540 --> 00:13:27,140 I'm sorry, you don't. You wake up and you sin before 203 00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:28,340 you probably even brush your teeth. 204 00:13:31,150 --> 00:13:33,390 Sorry if I there's a few bubbles in my apologize. 205 00:13:34,910 --> 00:13:39,670 But God, you see, is holy. He is other than and he is 206 00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:43,390 morally pure. And you know it says an Exodus 207 00:13:43,390 --> 00:13:49,750 1511 who is like you. Oh Lord, among the gods there is 208 00:13:49,990 --> 00:13:57,070 no one other than you. You're not worshipping somebody 209 00:13:57,070 --> 00:14:00,300 like yourself. You're not worshipping something 210 00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:04,460 that we have created. We are worshipping the creator, 211 00:14:05,060 --> 00:14:12,060 someone that created us. And you know when the enemy said 212 00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:15,500 to if you can be like God, he was trying to scrub out the 213 00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:17,140 holiness of God in that very moment. 214 00:14:18,940 --> 00:14:25,380 What a As if we can. And I want to say, God's 215 00:14:25,380 --> 00:14:30,000 holiness isn't just the character trait the God turns on 216 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,560 and off at will. God is holy. 217 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,800 He is holy. In justice, in love, in mercy, 218 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,680 in power, in sovereignty, in wisdom, in patience, in anger, 219 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,280 in grace, in faithfulness and compassion. 220 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,640 In all of his outworkings. He is always other than and 221 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,240 morally pure. You see the truth of God's 222 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,400 holiness. Listen guys, is the center of 223 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,220 the gospel of Jesus Christ. Without His Holiness, there 224 00:14:57,220 --> 00:15:01,580 would be no moral law to which we are responsible for, and 225 00:15:01,580 --> 00:15:07,140 therefore there would be no sin. Without the holiness of God, 226 00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:11,500 there would be no divine anger towards and with sin. 227 00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:15,980 Without the holiness of God, there would be no Son sent as 228 00:15:15,980 --> 00:15:22,560 the perfect sacrifice for sin, that the holiness of God, there 229 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,840 would be no resurrection and no defeat of death. 230 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,000 Without the holiness of God, there would be no final defeat 231 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,680 of the Satan. And without the holiness of God, 232 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,840 there would be no hope of a new heaven and a new earth where 233 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:41,280 there will no longer be sin. You try and remove the holiness 234 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:46,080 of God, and you're trying to scrub out the centrality of the 235 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:51,290 good news of Jesus Christ. And we do so at our own peril 236 00:15:55,050 --> 00:16:01,790 now. When we were at space on 237 00:16:01,790 --> 00:16:08,110 Tuesday, it was the revelation of the holiness of God that 238 00:16:08,110 --> 00:16:12,390 brought us to our knees. And next week, because I haven't 239 00:16:12,390 --> 00:16:13,830 got enough time to do it justice. 240 00:16:13,830 --> 00:16:16,390 And to be frank, I won't have enough time to do it justice 241 00:16:16,390 --> 00:16:21,380 next week. But one of the things that we 242 00:16:21,380 --> 00:16:24,460 don't like to talk about is this, the fear of the Lord. 243 00:16:29,620 --> 00:16:32,260 But the fear of the Lord is the root of all wisdom and truth. 244 00:16:34,380 --> 00:16:36,700 What happened? And I'll give you a teaser for 245 00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:40,740 next week. What happened when Peter had a 246 00:16:40,820 --> 00:16:44,140 revelation of God depart from me. 247 00:16:47,020 --> 00:16:53,410 But I am a sinful man, O Lord. The revelation of God's holiness 248 00:16:54,930 --> 00:16:57,770 is a revelation of who He is and who we are. 249 00:16:59,450 --> 00:17:04,369 Can you believe, to use some North London vernacular? 250 00:17:04,369 --> 00:17:07,170 Can you add him and eve it? Or is that East London? 251 00:17:07,170 --> 00:17:08,369 Is that Cotney? I don't even know. 252 00:17:08,369 --> 00:17:13,810 But sorry, East End, Sorry, EastEnders, it's not the soap. 253 00:17:15,730 --> 00:17:17,690 Stick to the notes, Hal Virgin. Stick to the notes. 254 00:17:19,540 --> 00:17:21,780 Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts. 255 00:17:22,420 --> 00:17:23,819 Whole earth is full of his glory. 256 00:17:23,819 --> 00:17:24,940 We're going to look at that next week. 257 00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:28,460 There is freedom that comes from the fear of the Lord. 258 00:17:29,660 --> 00:17:33,620 Doesn't mean being frightened of some kind of God that's going to 259 00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:39,140 beat you over the head. It means an awe of an almighty 260 00:17:39,140 --> 00:17:40,940 holy God. Wow. 261 00:17:41,660 --> 00:17:47,840 Now the second part is this. If that is holiness, we get to a 262 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,840 point of a question which, had it not been for the fact that 263 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,800 it's in the Bible, would seem quite blasphemous. 264 00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:03,320 Had it not been in the Bible, you would have accused me of 265 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,120 being a heretic. And it is this. 266 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,920 You are called to be holy, just like God. 267 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:17,860 Excuse me, Pastor, we are called to be holy. 268 00:18:17,860 --> 00:18:19,300 Yeah, that's exactly what I said. 269 00:18:19,660 --> 00:18:23,140 Leviticus 1144. God says he calls us to be holy 270 00:18:23,140 --> 00:18:24,780 as he is holy. And indeed, we're going to read 271 00:18:24,780 --> 00:18:30,060 later Peter, who quoted Leviticus in his call to say you 272 00:18:30,060 --> 00:18:44,130 are called to be holy. The mind boggles, quite frankly, 273 00:18:46,130 --> 00:18:52,090 But we are therefore called to be cut off from and separated 274 00:18:52,090 --> 00:18:56,710 from, and to walk in moral purity. 275 00:18:58,190 --> 00:19:02,470 To put it another way, we are called to be separated from sin 276 00:19:02,670 --> 00:19:08,150 and from the world, and consecrated to Him. 277 00:19:09,030 --> 00:19:13,030 That is the call to holiness, for us to be cut off, separated 278 00:19:13,030 --> 00:19:18,870 from that which is not of God, and be set apart for him, 279 00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:22,940 consecrated for him. That is what it means to be holy 280 00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:26,180 and to be like our Father and live in moral Puritan. 281 00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:30,660 That is the call of holiness. And I said that you see holiness 282 00:19:30,820 --> 00:19:33,540 as a picture and type in this story. 283 00:19:33,780 --> 00:19:36,420 We see it here. Verse 3. 284 00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:39,700 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him 285 00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:42,100 to put out a little from the land. 286 00:19:42,580 --> 00:19:45,900 What's happening there? There is a separation of Simon 287 00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:49,540 Peter from the multitude. You see that? 288 00:19:50,670 --> 00:19:52,950 Unless you think I'm making that up. 289 00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:58,710 We can see in the Old Testament we see this same picture of 290 00:19:58,710 --> 00:20:03,550 separation with Israel. God set apart Abraham and his 291 00:20:03,550 --> 00:20:08,750 descendants to be what a holy nation, to demonstrate to the 292 00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:13,990 world what it means to live holy and for God, it says in 293 00:20:13,990 --> 00:20:16,270 Leviticus 1144, as I quoted before. 294 00:20:16,430 --> 00:20:21,610 For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves, 295 00:20:21,610 --> 00:20:26,050 therefore, and be holy. In other words, set yourself 296 00:20:26,090 --> 00:20:30,330 apart from the ways of the world and the patterns of this earth, 297 00:20:31,010 --> 00:20:37,210 and be consecrated to me. That is what it means for us to 298 00:20:37,210 --> 00:20:40,330 be holy. There needs to be a separation 299 00:20:40,330 --> 00:20:43,570 of our hearts from the things of this world, which we'll look at 300 00:20:43,570 --> 00:20:47,010 in a moment and consecrated to the things of God. 301 00:20:47,970 --> 00:20:49,010 Are we? Are we getting this? 302 00:20:51,850 --> 00:20:56,250 Let's look at one pizza 114 to 16, as obedient children. 303 00:20:56,530 --> 00:21:00,610 Do not be conformed to the passions of your former 304 00:21:00,610 --> 00:21:02,850 ignorance. What does that mean? 305 00:21:03,250 --> 00:21:05,650 He's saying. Listen before you were born 306 00:21:05,650 --> 00:21:08,850 again by the Spirit and you became his child and we're in 307 00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:11,530 the gospel series recently. I unpacked that over a number of 308 00:21:11,530 --> 00:21:13,810 weeks. What that actually means, Before 309 00:21:13,810 --> 00:21:18,210 you were born again of the Spirit you had out of ignorance, 310 00:21:18,210 --> 00:21:21,210 passions, and lust of this world. 311 00:21:21,370 --> 00:21:23,850 And he's saying this, do not be conformed to those again. 312 00:21:24,490 --> 00:21:28,050 But as he who called you, that is God. 313 00:21:28,330 --> 00:21:35,130 As he who called you who is holy, you also be holy in all 314 00:21:35,130 --> 00:21:39,410 your conduct. Since it is written once again 315 00:21:39,410 --> 00:21:44,450 quoted in Leviticus, you shall be holy for I am holy I. 316 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,680 We're going to get to the question in a minute of why are 317 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,720 we called to be, why are we called and how do we? 318 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,080 I mean it's such a massive subject. 319 00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:58,000 But I think that one of the areas of of of Christian 320 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,680 teaching that we lack at the moment is this call to holiness. 321 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,280 I think what we major on is live your best life and excel in your 322 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,640 gifting and have fun and etcetera, etcetera. 323 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,760 And that appeals to us, does it not? 324 00:22:13,790 --> 00:22:17,470 We love the the seeming, and I use that word intentionally, 325 00:22:17,510 --> 00:22:19,590 seeming path of least resistance. 326 00:22:20,510 --> 00:22:25,550 But we miss out the fruits of walking in holiness if we don't 327 00:22:25,550 --> 00:22:29,710 incline our ear to the call of God to say you have an 328 00:22:29,710 --> 00:22:35,150 obligation to walk in holiness and your conduct should be that 329 00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:39,790 which honors God. But if I went and preached that 330 00:22:39,790 --> 00:22:43,500 for six weeks in a row, I think the online views would probably 331 00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:46,300 dip and I'd be like, where's everyone disappeared to? 332 00:22:47,260 --> 00:22:49,100 And that's not a reflection on you, by the way. 333 00:22:49,940 --> 00:22:52,540 I know your hearts and your pursuing God, and I love that 334 00:22:52,540 --> 00:22:55,900 about this church. I'm saying in a general sense, 335 00:22:56,260 --> 00:22:59,900 as we think about our walk, we miss out on the blessing that 336 00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:04,420 comes with the call to holiness. So why are we called to be holy? 337 00:23:04,420 --> 00:23:09,900 Well, I'll give you a few reasons for a starter because, 338 00:23:10,950 --> 00:23:16,070 and I'll start with this one, Holiness gives us confidence in 339 00:23:16,070 --> 00:23:20,710 prayer. You know, it says in one John, 340 00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:25,630 if our heart condemns us, not in other words, if we are, if we're 341 00:23:25,630 --> 00:23:28,230 listening to the conviction of the Holy Spirit to live a holy 342 00:23:28,230 --> 00:23:29,590 life. You know what I mean? 343 00:23:29,590 --> 00:23:31,270 Right. Don't say that. 344 00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:33,870 I know you want to say that. But you oh, okay, you're going 345 00:23:33,870 --> 00:23:36,470 to say that. Don't drink that extra. 346 00:23:36,670 --> 00:23:38,230 You know, if you have okay, you've gone and done that. 347 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,280 Don't go. What's that thing? 348 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,880 If you turn that, oh, you're going to turn to, you know, we, 349 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,400 we. That's our conscience, that Holy 350 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,960 Spirit speaks to us. And what John is saying here, 351 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,600 it's not our heart if our heart condemns us, not in other words 352 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,040 if we respond to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and we set 353 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,840 our hearts to live a pure life. He says this. 354 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,880 Then we have confidence towards God. 355 00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:06,480 And whatsoever we ask we receive of Him because we keep His 356 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,440 commandments and do things that are pleasing in His sight. 357 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,920 Let me rewrite this for you. If your heart condemns you, then 358 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,120 you will have no confidence with God. 359 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,160 And I wonder why we live in a world where and I'm I'm, I'm in 360 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,920 danger of this. The Saints, by the way, that 361 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,680 word St. means holy ones. That's us, all of us. 362 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,720 We called Saints for a reason. We wonder why we lack the power 363 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,960 to walk in that which God has for us, and we lack the 364 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,320 confidence to boldly claim at the throne of God his promises. 365 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,840 We wonder why, when we're walking in sin and we're not 366 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,880 pursuing a life of holiness, this is how serious it is. 367 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,720 Listen, if you want a life of victory, and I don't have to, if 368 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,520 I ask who wants a life of victory, you're probably all 369 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,400 going to put your hands up. Then I'm going to give you the 370 00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,880 answer. Walk in holiness. 371 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,400 If you want to see blessings being pulled out, then walking 372 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:12,470 holiness. Okay, What else? 373 00:25:14,230 --> 00:25:16,670 Here's the other part of this, the other the side of that coin. 374 00:25:16,790 --> 00:25:19,990 We are called to be holy by God who loves us and knows what is 375 00:25:19,990 --> 00:25:22,270 best for us. There's a quote, and I don't 376 00:25:22,270 --> 00:25:26,830 know who this is from, but he said this human flourishing is 377 00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:32,110 always a function of delighting in that which God delights and 378 00:25:32,110 --> 00:25:33,790 desire in that which God desires. 379 00:25:33,790 --> 00:25:38,090 Let me read that again. Human flourishing is always a 380 00:25:38,090 --> 00:25:40,810 function of delighting that which God delights and desiring 381 00:25:40,810 --> 00:25:45,610 that which God desires. My car flourishes when I follow 382 00:25:45,970 --> 00:25:48,930 the the manufacturer's manual and put the right type of petrol 383 00:25:48,930 --> 00:25:51,290 in the car. It does not flourish. 384 00:25:51,450 --> 00:25:53,810 When I say I don't need to, I'll put my own thing in it, thank 385 00:25:53,810 --> 00:25:58,440 you very much. We have been created to worship 386 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,680 a holy God and to be His children, and we flourish in 387 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,760 when we walk with Him in obedience to Him. 388 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:15,440 Sin leads to destruction, Sin leads to broken relationships. 389 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:20,280 Sin leads to difficulties. Sin has an effect. 390 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,880 It might taste good in the moment, and you you might love 391 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,200 it in that moment, but it will always breed destruction and 392 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,480 brokenness. Conversely, the call of holiness 393 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,080 to walk in holiness brings blessing. 394 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:37,120 And there's many other reasons, not least this I want to please 395 00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:40,840 that which my father is pleased, I want to desire that which my 396 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,920 father does. I love it when my children want 397 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,160 to do things that will give a smile to my face. 398 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,240 And what's a copy, daddy? It's less now. 399 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,400 They're older, but you know, when they were younger, be 400 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,340 childlike. So that's why we're called there 401 00:26:58,340 --> 00:27:01,740 is blessing there and we're called to have victory as we 402 00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:04,820 walk in confidence. But here's the next question, 403 00:27:05,060 --> 00:27:07,260 how do I become holy? And I think this is the kind of 404 00:27:07,260 --> 00:27:10,420 crux of it, where I want to try and land in the next few 405 00:27:10,420 --> 00:27:15,180 minutes. You see, I think when we think 406 00:27:15,180 --> 00:27:20,180 of holiness, we think it's a one time event of becoming I have 407 00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:23,980 become holy. Yesterday was a fantastical day 408 00:27:24,510 --> 00:27:34,000 of holiness. You know, Wesley, before he 409 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,560 really encountered the Lord, he and his compadres in, I want to 410 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:43,280 say, Oxford or Cambridge. He set up the Holiness Club, and 411 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,120 their endeavor was works of holiness in order that they 412 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:50,960 contain Holiness. But he soon discovered that that 413 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:56,360 was not Holiness. You see the the answer is in the 414 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:01,780 title of the talk. We are called to walk in 415 00:28:01,780 --> 00:28:05,700 holiness. We are called to walk. 416 00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:08,500 It's a journey. You won't arrive at holiness 417 00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:11,380 until the other side of glory in terms of complete. 418 00:28:11,380 --> 00:28:22,780 Holiness okay, I'm going to just use 2 minutes to talk about 419 00:28:22,780 --> 00:28:28,020 something. A cultural comment if you would 420 00:28:28,410 --> 00:28:32,450 give me the leeway, you know the one of the sayings of the 421 00:28:32,450 --> 00:28:36,050 Vineyard Church is this come as you are, but don't stay as you 422 00:28:36,050 --> 00:28:38,410 are. Do you know the pressure to 423 00:28:38,410 --> 00:28:40,050 remove the don't stay as you are. 424 00:28:41,490 --> 00:28:43,570 You know the amount of conversations even with invented 425 00:28:43,570 --> 00:28:46,090 pastors of is that still quote relevant? 426 00:28:50,690 --> 00:28:54,730 Well, how can you be inclusive if you say don't stay as you 427 00:28:54,730 --> 00:28:56,450 are? I'd say this How can you preach 428 00:28:56,450 --> 00:28:58,330 the gospel of Jesus Christ without saying it? 429 00:29:00,530 --> 00:29:06,710 I mean, if you want to scrub out what Jesus did on the cross, 430 00:29:06,710 --> 00:29:09,590 then be my guest. If you want people to come in 431 00:29:09,590 --> 00:29:10,990 and come as they are, but don't change. 432 00:29:10,990 --> 00:29:14,070 And I don't know what I'm preaching because I'm told not 433 00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:16,790 to be conformed any longer to the pattern of this world, but 434 00:29:16,790 --> 00:29:26,080 be transformed. I mean, if you want to be 435 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,120 justified, which is justified being on the cross, and you want 436 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,560 to be right with God, but you want to, don't want to be 437 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,560 sanctified, then what am I preaching? 438 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,920 Come as you are, but please don't stay as you are. 439 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,040 And can I just say I don't think we do want to stay as we are? 440 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,720 In a way, I certainly don't. I had a shocking day yesterday. 441 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,200 I was really losing my temper a lot. 442 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,040 If I see you talking to Steph later, she's not going to answer 443 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,880 the question, what was Mark like yesterday? 444 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,240 Right. Or maybe she will, I don't know. 445 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:06,720 Oh, thank you, darling. Being authentically you, let me 446 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,800 clarify, is authentically you without sin. 447 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:20,120 Being authentic isn't devoid of God because you're in bondage to 448 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,760 sin and you'll never be authentically you. 449 00:30:22,770 --> 00:30:24,570 Authentically you. Because we love that word 450 00:30:24,570 --> 00:30:28,090 authentic, don't we? Oh, I don't want to change 451 00:30:28,090 --> 00:30:30,930 because I'm authentically me. I think you might have misused 452 00:30:30,930 --> 00:30:35,770 the word authentic. If you want to be how God 453 00:30:35,770 --> 00:30:38,530 intended you and created you to be, then you better walk in 454 00:30:38,530 --> 00:30:43,010 holiness because you won't be your true self unless you walk 455 00:30:43,730 --> 00:30:49,570 in a holy walk. And the good news is this, that 456 00:30:49,570 --> 00:30:53,300 we don't have to stay where we are and it's the process. 457 00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:54,860 Here we go. Here's the good news, people, 458 00:30:54,860 --> 00:30:58,660 because at this point you might be feeling worn out, maybe 459 00:30:58,660 --> 00:31:01,220 feeling a bit battered and feel like, well, Mark, I've tried 460 00:31:01,740 --> 00:31:04,500 probably my best, thank you very much. 461 00:31:04,980 --> 00:31:06,380 Nothing you're telling me is new. 462 00:31:09,660 --> 00:31:17,060 But I want to say this. It is the Spirit of God in us 463 00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:18,700 who changes us from the inside out. 464 00:31:20,470 --> 00:31:25,630 Holiness is not a manufactured work devoid of inward change. 465 00:31:28,870 --> 00:31:33,510 Holiness isn't a good day of being good. 466 00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:39,470 Holiness is inclined in your heart towards Christ and saying, 467 00:31:39,470 --> 00:31:40,870 would you conform me to you, Jesus? 468 00:31:41,590 --> 00:31:45,790 That is holiness. Holiness is a fruit of our 469 00:31:45,790 --> 00:31:48,830 hearts. Are you hearing me? 470 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,120 It is not a manufactured work of our quote good deeds. 471 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,840 I mean, by the way, what's the first commandment? 472 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,320 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind 473 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,240 and with all your soul. You can have good deeds and it 474 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,720 means nothing in terms of righteousness because our hearts 475 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,400 are not inclined to his. And so as we incline our hearts 476 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,760 to His and as we say, Lord, would you change me? 477 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,320 Thank you that you've justified me. 478 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,440 Thank you that when God looks at me, he looks at me as holy. 479 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,200 But now, Lord, you're calling me to walk in that holiness. 480 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,760 That's why it says work. Work out your salvation, not 481 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,400 work for your salvation. Big difference. 482 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,320 Don't work for it because you can't. 483 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,080 You want to lean into a salvation of works? 484 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,480 Then I'm sorry to say that is not the gospel. 485 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,160 The good news of Jesus Christ is that he did all the good works. 486 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,600 The good news of Jesus Christ is that all of his good works are 487 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,600 given unto us. The good news is that his purity 488 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,760 is given unto us so that when God looks at us, we can enter 489 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,720 the throne room of God to a holy God and have confidence. 490 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,840 That is the good news. But we are called to work out 491 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,840 that salvation, to walk into that holiness, to make a 492 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:05,250 decision to be other than to be set apart from the world, to 493 00:33:05,370 --> 00:33:09,250 leave the multitude and consecrate ourselves. 494 00:33:09,410 --> 00:33:13,490 Roman says this do not be conformed any longer to the 495 00:33:13,490 --> 00:33:17,610 pattern of this world. But what be transformed by what? 496 00:33:17,690 --> 00:33:21,330 The renewing of your mind. Then you can test and approve 497 00:33:21,450 --> 00:33:25,930 God's pleasing and perfect will. That is your act of worship to 498 00:33:25,930 --> 00:33:27,930 God. If you want to walk holiness, 499 00:33:28,410 --> 00:33:33,660 don't strap yourselves up on the altar and die to yourself, man, 500 00:33:33,660 --> 00:33:34,940 We don't hear preaching like this, do we? 501 00:33:36,180 --> 00:33:39,260 And I'm not bigging myself up. Friends, please don't hear that. 502 00:33:40,060 --> 00:33:42,940 I just feel the unction of the Holy Spirit on me to say this is 503 00:33:42,940 --> 00:33:46,180 a message that we need to recapture, which is the holiness 504 00:33:46,180 --> 00:33:48,420 of God and our obligation to walk in that. 505 00:33:48,620 --> 00:33:51,340 Because in that is where there is blessing, and in that is 506 00:33:51,340 --> 00:34:02,350 where we worship in spirit and in truth, right? 507 00:34:02,350 --> 00:34:04,990 Why don't we invite the band up as I as I give you some 508 00:34:05,030 --> 00:34:07,750 practical tips to do what I to walk in Eyeliness. 509 00:34:09,909 --> 00:34:12,030 It's actually not that difficult. 510 00:34:12,989 --> 00:34:16,350 It just means you need to make a decision and I want to give you 511 00:34:16,870 --> 00:34:18,630 5 things. All right. 512 00:34:18,630 --> 00:34:23,429 I'm just going to touch on these very briefly #1 make a choice to 513 00:34:23,429 --> 00:34:28,830 surrender your will to his and to be with Jesus. 514 00:34:28,870 --> 00:34:31,790 And it all starts with last week being with Jesus. 515 00:34:31,790 --> 00:34:34,790 That is our call, our number one call to be with Jesus. 516 00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:39,150 Make a decision to surrender your will to his and be with 517 00:34:39,190 --> 00:34:51,010 Jesus. #2 Make a decision to take sin seriously #3 Listen to 518 00:34:51,010 --> 00:34:53,210 the conviction of the Holy Spirit. 519 00:34:53,810 --> 00:34:56,770 Don't do that. Don't say that. 520 00:34:57,370 --> 00:35:00,130 Well done. Don't watch that. 521 00:35:00,930 --> 00:35:03,690 Well done. Don't drink that extra. 522 00:35:04,230 --> 00:35:08,830 Well done, #4. Repent. 523 00:35:09,430 --> 00:35:12,470 I love what someone said about repentant, and I used it last 524 00:35:12,470 --> 00:35:15,150 week. It's not my way, but your way. 525 00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:19,470 I love that. I can't take any credit for that 526 00:35:19,470 --> 00:35:23,150 whatsoever. Repentance is saying not my way, 527 00:35:23,150 --> 00:35:24,750 but I'm going to turn towards your way. 528 00:35:25,270 --> 00:35:26,990 That's repentance. It's not complicated. 529 00:35:27,310 --> 00:35:30,150 It's making the decision to turn away from that which is not God 530 00:35:30,670 --> 00:35:34,200 and turning towards that which is that is, what am I just 531 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,160 doing? I am separating myself. 532 00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:39,080 I'm cutting myself off from that which is not God. 533 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,240 I'm walking towards your way, not my way, but your way. 534 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:49,440 And #5 set your eyes on being like Jesus and yielding yourself 535 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,200 to his spirit to change us from the inside out. 536 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,360 Those are the five steps or the they're not necessarily 537 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,640 sequential, but I hope that's helpful for you. 538 00:35:59,540 --> 00:36:02,460 You can take that away and say Lord on your knees tonight or 539 00:36:02,460 --> 00:36:05,260 when you get home and say Lord, I wanna walk in homeliness. 540 00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:08,020 I wanna experience you and I'm gonna do these five things. 541 00:36:08,020 --> 00:36:09,300 I'm. I'm making a choice now. 542 00:36:09,300 --> 00:36:10,700 Early spirit, in fact. Let's stand church.
