1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,800
The making our way through the 
book of Ephesians. 

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,100
We got chapter 5 and chapter 6 
to go. 

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,100
So I'll give you a little bit of
context that I haven't gotten 

4
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:12,300
into much yet, but it's getting 
really, really relevant now. 

5
00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:17,400
So in the city of Ephesus if you
live there you were called, and 

6
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:20,900
you're calling Ephesian. 
So that the letter was written 

7
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:24,000
to the Ephesians, but in the 
city of Ephesus, there was, 

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,200
there was a lot of a lot of 
wicked worship happening 

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,200
throughout the Pagan World much 
like Like there is today, but 

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,900
not necessarily in the same 
format, not the temples looked 

11
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:36,400
different. 
Now, the gods and goddesses look

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,500
different, but every Pagan 
religion, every pagan people, 

13
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:43,200
every Godless people have their 
gods that they're worshiping, 

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,900
whether or not, they claim to be
atheists or anything else. 

15
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:49,600
Everyone is worshiping a God and
their life is devoted to an 

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,300
ideology in a perspective. 
But here at Ephesus, their 

17
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:56,500
goddess was the Goddess, Diana 
and Diana. 

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,000
They had a magnificent temple 
built for the Diana. 

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,400
But Diana, and the worship that 
took place in Diana's Temple, it

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,300
was particularly a sexual kind 
of perversion. 

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,500
There was there were prostitutes
that were used as a form of the 

22
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:17,600
worship in the temple of Diana. 
And the whole city of Ephesus 

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,800
was, I mean, this was like their
mascot. 

24
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:24,200
So I mean, imagine, you know, 
living in Boston and being a 

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,700
Patriots fan back when Brady was
their winning the Super Bowl 

26
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:28,300
season after season after 
season. 

27
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:30,600
You know, it's like everybody is
a patriot It's fan, it's like 

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,700
the thing to do the thing to be.
Well, if you're in Ephesus, like

29
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:37,600
Diana was was the thing. 
She was our culture, she was who

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,000
we worshipped, she was, who we 
were passionate about, she was, 

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,300
who we pursued. 
So, this sinful sexual culture 

32
00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:46,100
was really, really deeply 
embedded into who they were 

33
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:47,200
like. 
This was just a fission 

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,100
cultures, it's just normal life 
for the Ephesian people. 

35
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,200
But now we've got Believers 
people who have come to Christ. 

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,200
So the gospel is come to Ephesus
and people are preach the gospel

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,300
and said, hey, there's a king, 
who rules over all his name is 

38
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:00,700
Jesus. 
Tell me more. 

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,400
Well, he died on the cross for 
your sins. 

40
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Well, what our sins? 
Well, anything that opposes the 

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,500
will of God and he will make you
new. 

42
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:10,199
He'll forgive you. 
He will restore you and set you 

43
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:13,500
on a new life in A New Path. 
So poles been walking them 

44
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,800
through that, of course, hey, I 
want you to keep seeing what God

45
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,500
has done for you and now he's 
know that he's watched, you take

46
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:22,100
off the old man and put on the 
new man and he said, well what 

47
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:24,600
do you have in mind with that? 
And now Paul is getting very 

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,500
specific, he's going. 
So for example, people of 

49
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:30,300
Ephesus, this would be something
that was not normal. 

50
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:32,600
These are old clothes that 
you're used to putting on. 

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,500
You've got to take these old 
clothes off and you've got to 

52
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:39,200
put on these new clothes. 
So these verses deal a lot with 

53
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,600
sexual immorality in these 
coming versus. 

54
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,600
So they were written to a 
particular people in a 

55
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,200
particular time in a particular 
place, but that makes them still

56
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,400
very, very relevant for you. 
And I and this particular moment

57
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,400
because all scripture is 
profitable for us. 

58
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:58,500
So we also know that every 
command given here is still 

59
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:01,300
applicable, which is 
Interestingly enough, the 

60
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:03,200
argument that gets made for the 
later part of this chapter as 

61
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,200
well. 
We'll get into that in the 

62
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,500
coming weeks, but everything in 
the scriptures sometimes were 

63
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:09,000
tempted to say, well, that was 
because of this. 

64
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,300
That was because of that. 
Wilshire, of course the Holy 

65
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:14,000
Spirit would write and minister 
in a particular way to a 

66
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,100
particular people to particular 
time, but we need this as well. 

67
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:20,400
We live, we live in a very 
Wicked culture sexually. 

68
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,700
We live in a place where we live
in a time where things have been

69
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,600
normalized that shouldn't have 
been normalized. 

70
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,200
Things are being pushed, they 
should have never been pushed. 

71
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,800
Like, was he thinking about the 
extreme? 

72
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:31,900
Huh? 
Yeah, and the Not So extreme 

73
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:33,900
stuff. 
Anything that's outside of God's

74
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:35,900
Perfect Design. 
So we're going to look at what 

75
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:37,200
the word has to say about that 
today. 

76
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,800
And we're going to start right 
here in verse 1, we're going to 

77
00:03:39,808 --> 00:03:44,300
go verses 1 through 14. 
Of chapter 5. 

78
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:50,400
Therefore be imitators of God as
beloved children, and walk in 

79
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,700
love as Christ, loved us and 
gave himself up for us. 

80
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:59,400
A fragrant offering and 
sacrifice to God, but sexual 

81
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,800
immorality and impurity or 
covetousness must not even be 

82
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,600
named among you as is. 
Proper among Saints. 

83
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Let there be no filthiness nor 
foolish talk, nor crew joking, 

84
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,200
which are out of place. 
But instead, let there be 

85
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:16,300
Thanksgiving for you. 
May be sure of this that 

86
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:21,399
everyone who is sexually immoral
or impure or who has Covetous or

87
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:24,700
that is an idolater. 
That person has no inheritance 

88
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:28,200
in the Kingdom of Christ and God
and let no one deceive you with 

89
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,600
empty words for because of these
things the wrath of God comes 

90
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,600
upon the sons of Disobedience. 
Therefore do not become partners

91
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:42,900
with them for one time you were 
Darkness, but now you are light 

92
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,100
in the the Lord walk as children
of light for the fruit of light 

93
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:50,200
is found in all that is good and
right and true and try and 

94
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,800
discern what is pleasing to the 
Lord? 

95
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,500
Take no part in the unfruitful 
works of darkness but instead 

96
00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:01,500
expose them for it's shameful 
even to speak of the things that

97
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:05,200
they do in secret. 
But when anything is exposed By 

98
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,400
the Light, it becomes visible 
for anything that becomes 

99
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,700
visible is light. 
Therefore it says awake o 

100
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:15,800
sleeper and arise from Dead in 
Christ will shine on you. 

101
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:19,400
So let's go back up to verse one
right here in the beginning. 

102
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,200
Therefore, be imitators of God 
as dearly beloved children. 

103
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,700
Be an imitator of God as it 
dearly beloved child. 

104
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,000
We've all seen it. 
We did it. 

105
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:30,100
You copy daddy. 
And mommy For Better or Worse. 

106
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:33,100
Your kids, copy You For Better 
or For Worse parents. 

107
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:36,200
You've seen it, it's horrifying 
to see your sins walking around 

108
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,300
in somebody else's body. 
You're going, whoa, I know where

109
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:42,100
they learned that. 
It's from their mama, you know 

110
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000
that It's the what you like to 
say, but sometimes I recognize 

111
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,100
just the opposite, go boy that's
wrong and I know exactly who 

112
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:54,700
trains you and taught you that. 
So, this is the Temptation that 

113
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:57,200
we have in, in our flesh. 
But we're commanded to be 

114
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,300
imitators of our father as 
dearly beloved children. 

115
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,800
Again, we're brought back to 
that revelation of who we are. 

116
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,800
Who are you? 
You're a beloved child of the 

117
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,100
Father. 
God, this is the framework for 

118
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:11,000
everything else that follows for
everything else that precedes it

119
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,300
and everything else that 
follows. 

120
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,600
This is the revelation. 
We have to have your dearly 

121
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,800
beloved by God, he loves you. 
Our Earthly fathers were 

122
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,700
supposed to be the perfect 
picture of that. 

123
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,900
Some of you had absolutely 
Wicked, father's, some of you 

124
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:28,800
had incredible fathers Most 
people had somewhere in between.

125
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,700
These were supposed to be the 
perfect image of the heavenly 

126
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:35,600
father but they weren't but the 
heavenly father is the perfect 

127
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,900
image of the heavenly father and
he's saying I love you you're a 

128
00:06:38,908 --> 00:06:40,900
dearly beloved child. 
Now I want you to copy your 

129
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,000
daddy. 
Be like me and do what I do. 

130
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
I've made you knew this is who 
you are act accordingly. 

131
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,500
We talked about that in the 
previous week's royalty. 

132
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,100
If you're raised up his royalty,
you should behave as royalty. 

133
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:55,300
There's a way, there's a dignity
to that lifestyle, not a 

134
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:58,000
snobbery. 
But a dignity to that lifestyle.

135
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,700
There's an honor. 
That should be carried out and a

136
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:01,600
do Duty that comes along with 
it. 

137
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,300
So how can we be like God? 
Well, it takes us back to 

138
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:08,400
chapter 1. 
How can we really be like God, 

139
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,300
we need to have revelation of 
who we are. 

140
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,100
So in chapter 12 verse 17, Paul 
was praying for the church. 

141
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:17,200
I pray, that the god of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the father of 

142
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,600
Glory, may give unto you the 
spirit of wisdom and Revelation 

143
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,000
in the knowledge of him. 
That's what I'm praying for you.

144
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,100
That's what he's saying, you 
need and I would have, what am I

145
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:29,100
supposed to do? 
What am I supposed to not do? 

146
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:31,100
What am I supposed to do? 
What am I supposed to not do? 

147
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:34,200
That's not how fission starts. 
That's where today's sermon is. 

148
00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:38,200
But you don't judge all of the 
scripture off of one sermon. 

149
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,000
We're taking verse by verse or 
walking through. 

150
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,400
But remember how we got here 
saying, I pray that you would 

151
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,800
see what the Lord Has Done who 
he's made you what he's done in 

152
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,800
Christ and he walks them through
that. 

153
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,000
God loves you. 
Here's what he's done, you've 

154
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,100
been saved by his grace. 
You've been saved by his grace 

155
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:55,600
through faith. 
It's not of your work so that 

156
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,900
nobody can boast or brag. 
So since he's washed you put on 

157
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:00,900
these new clothes. 
Now here's what these new 

158
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:04,100
clothes look like, like I said 
before, we're tempted to jump to

159
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:06,100
the chapter 5 and go, let's go. 
Get practical, let's get 

160
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:07,900
practical. 
Let's get practical but we have 

161
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:10,900
no ability to walk out. 
The chapter five and six until 

162
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:15,000
we understand the chapter 1 and 
2 to see that God's done all the

163
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,900
work. 
Now, I'm just living in 

164
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:19,300
accordance with it with what 
he's already done. 

165
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:23,500
So how can we truly be like God 
in that a high calling? 

166
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:26,600
Of course it is, but he's made 
us fit for that service. 

167
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:30,100
So we pray to see who we are and
what we have and then he 

168
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:32,000
continues. 
What does it look like to be an 

169
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,100
imitator of God to walk like 
your father Walk In Love? 

170
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:39,799
In verse 2, as Christ loved us 
and gave himself up for us, a 

171
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:42,400
fragrant offering and a 
sacrifice to God. 

172
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:47,500
So at this time, in the ancient 
world, everybody understood what

173
00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:49,100
sacrifice? 
Look like you would give burnt 

174
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:51,800
offerings to your God. 
And of course, this came from 

175
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,800
the true and living God, he gave
this client, this command to the

176
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,100
Jews. 
So they would burn sacrifices 

177
00:08:57,100 --> 00:08:59,800
and it was considered a fragrant
offering that was pleasing to 

178
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,500
the Lord. 
They burn this animal and it's 

179
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:04,800
an act of sacrifice to say. 
God this is a way that we 

180
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,500
worship. 
You, it was a good and right and

181
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:10,500
temporary thing all these 
animals that were that were 

182
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:13,500
killed is a temporary 
representation, there's a lamb 

183
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:15,400
that needs to be killed a 
perfect lamb. 

184
00:09:15,700 --> 00:09:17,700
He's going to come, but he 
hasn't come yet. 

185
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:20,700
His name was Jesus. 
Of course, he did now come. 

186
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,300
So the animal sacrifices were 
temporary but they're no longer 

187
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:26,300
needed. 
And finally, this one fragrant 

188
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:29,000
offering this Lamb of God was 
laid on the altar. 

189
00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:32,300
This is how we are to love one. 
Another, what am I supposed to 

190
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:34,000
do? 
I'm supposed to walk in love, I 

191
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,100
thought were going to be talking
about sexual and morality while 

192
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:39,300
walking and love protects me 
from all sexual immorality, just

193
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:41,700
like walking in love. 
Make sure that I keep all 10 

194
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:44,600
commandments if I'm walking in 
love, I won't break any of The 

195
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,000
Commandments. 
Thou shalt not steal. 

196
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,500
Well, if I'm walking in love 
towards you. 

197
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:50,400
Why would I won't steal 
anything? 

198
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,900
You won't have to tell me. 
Don't don't don't, or do do. 

199
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:55,000
Do you just you can just say, 
hey jamychal. 

200
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,900
If you'll just love your 
neighbor, then you're not going 

201
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:01,300
to cover his wife. 
If you'll just love your 

202
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:04,600
neighbor, then you won't lie to 
him and to see them love covers 

203
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,500
everything. 
Can we can we draw it out? 

204
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:08,900
Get more specific. 
We can, we should and the most, 

205
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:12,100
then the New Testament, most 
certainly does people ignorantly

206
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:14,400
claim all the new the Old 
Testament commands with the New 

207
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,100
Testaments Grace. 
The New Testament has thousands 

208
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,800
of commands in it. 
Thousands of very precise 

209
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,600
specific commands. 
Always to just say, hey, this is

210
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,400
the new man. 
This is the, this is what you 

211
00:10:24,408 --> 00:10:25,700
wear. 
Now, this is how you dress down 

212
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:29,500
because you've already been made
new so Walking In Love though. 

213
00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:32,900
Is the command, that that 
surpasses, all others, love the 

214
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:35,400
Lord, your God, with all your 
heart, soul, mind, and strength,

215
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,000
and love your neighbor as 
yourself. 

216
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,300
That's it. 
All the law, hangs on that. 

217
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:44,100
Everything else is satisfied and
fulfilled in that if I love God.

218
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:47,200
And if I love you, then I'll 
never send ever again. 

219
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,000
But when I take a step out of 
love, I have taken a step into 

220
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,400
SIM. 
So what does this look like? 

221
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:57,600
Jesus gives us the example. 
He gave himself up for us. 

222
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,800
How do I love somebody? 
I give myself up for them. 

223
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:08,100
I want to do something wrong or 
sinful against you, but I'm 

224
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:11,600
giving myself up, I'm crucifying
my own flesh, Jesus laid down 

225
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,900
his life, he was crucified in 
the same way. 

226
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:16,000
This is what it looks like to 
walk in. 

227
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,700
Love, I want to say this right 
now but that would be wrong and 

228
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:21,600
sinful. 
So who's going to take the hit? 

229
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,000
My flesh is going to take the 
head. 

230
00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:26,500
I Crucify My Flesh and I say, 
you get down, you be a Living 

231
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:29,300
Sacrifice John, Michael crucify,
the flesh. 

232
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:31,500
Because I'm going to walk in 
love towards my neighbor. 

233
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,800
That's what it looks like. 
You want to be like Jesus. 

234
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,400
Yeah, I want to be loving 
towards everybody. 

235
00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:39,500
Well that doesn't just mean 
nice. 

236
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:44,200
It means being harsh with my own
flesh so that I can be loving 

237
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,300
towards them. 
My love will have strength at 

238
00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:49,000
times. 
I'll still tell them the truth. 

239
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,300
It doesn't mean they'll love 
every single thing that comes 

240
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:54,300
out of my mouth, but I won't, 
but I won't my heart won't be 

241
00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:56,900
wrong towards them. 
I won't be taking anything from 

242
00:11:56,900 --> 00:11:59,100
you. 
That's the distinction you can 

243
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:00,600
make. 
Whenever am I sinning against 

244
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,000
this person? 
Ask yourself. 

245
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,900
Am I taking something from them?
Am I taking dignity? 

246
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:08,900
Am I taking honor? 
Am I extracting something from 

247
00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:11,100
them? 
Because I could confuse myself 

248
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:13,100
except I need to say something 
strong to my brother that he 

249
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:15,700
might not want to hear. 
But I'm saying this to be a 

250
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,400
Lessing to add Holiness to him 
to add Health to him. 

251
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:21,300
That's one thing he still might 
night. 

252
00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:23,800
Like, might not like what comes 
out of my mouth so he doesn't 

253
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,300
get to be the ultimate judge of 
whether or not I've sinned 

254
00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:29,500
against him necessarily but I do
need to judge and the ultimate 

255
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:31,000
judge will certainly sort it 
out. 

256
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:33,600
Am I trying to hurt him? 
Am I trying to take something 

257
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,900
from him or am I trying to get 
something to him? 

258
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:38,000
I still may need to say strong 
things. 

259
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,900
I still may need to have an 
uncomfortable conversation but 

260
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:43,700
the difference is not my own 
flesh, being satisfied and 

261
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:47,800
saying yeah, the difference is A
protection, a love a provision, 

262
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,700
a safety. 
So it may not always be Comfort,

263
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:51,900
though. 
This is where we have to not 

264
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:55,500
confuse love with niceness. 
And this is a mistake that I've 

265
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:57,600
often made, like that's going to
be an uncomfortable 

266
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,000
conversation. 
Yeah, John Michael, you don't 

267
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:00,900
want to do it. 
Do you know? 

268
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,400
I don't so crucify. 
Your flesh. 

269
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,500
Well, I thought, I thought I 
should have been nice and not 

270
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:09,800
said anything at all. 
No, that would have been 

271
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,100
cowardice on your part John, 
Michael, because it's your 

272
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:14,300
flesh, that would have been 
uncomfortable in that 

273
00:13:14,300 --> 00:13:16,800
confrontation, because your 
heart is right towards your 

274
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,500
brother, you Hearts, right? 
Towards your brother, or if your

275
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:22,200
hearts right towards your 
sister, you do need to go with a

276
00:13:22,208 --> 00:13:24,800
spirit of gentleness with a 
spirit of humility so that she 

277
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,300
could be restored so that she 
could be strengthened so that 

278
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:29,700
she could be encouraged. 
And so that she could be helped 

279
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:32,700
not with a haha, gotcha caught 
you. 

280
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,600
And that's never the Lord's 
intention with us. 

281
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:36,300
No, that's not how the Lord 
deals with us. 

282
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,500
Think I have the Holy Spirit, 
corrects you such a gentleness, 

283
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,500
such a kindness and where you 
go, who I could have been 

284
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:47,500
exposed way worse and he says, 
my motive wasn't to rub our rub,

285
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:50,300
your nose in anything. 
My motive is restoration, that's

286
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:52,700
always the Lord's plan is 
restoration. 

287
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:55,500
Am I walking in love? 
Am I living in love? 

288
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,900
Well, am I treating people the 
way God treats people with a 

289
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:04,200
kindness giving myself up for 
them verse 3 now, very specific,

290
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,800
what does Look like he's tall. 
He's still talking about walking

291
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,800
in love. 
But now he's talking again to 

292
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:12,000
people who live in Ephesus or we
could say he's talking to a 

293
00:14:12,008 --> 00:14:15,900
people who live in the United 
States of America, in 2023, a 

294
00:14:15,908 --> 00:14:20,500
very relevant, message, but 
sexual immorality and all 

295
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:24,900
impurity, or covetousness must 
not even be named among you as 

296
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:28,000
is proper for Saints. 
So, sexual immorality, here, 

297
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,900
this is a generic term that he's
using that encompasses any kind 

298
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:36,600
of sexual sin, like what did 
include this Yes, yes, yes, it 

299
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,800
includes that it any kind of 
sexual sin, but it does raise 

300
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,400
the question. 
Okay. 

301
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,900
But what is sexual sin? 
So what we're going to do, first

302
00:14:43,900 --> 00:14:45,500
of all, is we're going to Define
what isn't? 

303
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,500
We're going to just simply and 
step because there's a long list

304
00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:52,600
that's even. 
It's as he says later, even 

305
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,000
talking about, it's shameful to 
even speak of the things they do

306
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,900
in secret. 
I'm not going to defile your 

307
00:14:56,900 --> 00:15:00,700
ears with a long list of all the
possibilities of sexual sin will

308
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:03,500
use some general terms today, 
especially keeping in mind, the 

309
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:05,700
ears and the audience. 
So, I'm going to do my best with

310
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:09,300
all of that. 
But we are going to do is Define

311
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:12,300
what is not sexual sin, what 
sexual goodness. 

312
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:14,400
What is health look like in this
area. 

313
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,900
So, this is a gift from God. 
Sex is a gift from God, that has

314
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:23,500
been given by God to husbands 
and wives to enjoy in marriage. 

315
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:27,400
There is our place for Freedom. 
There's our place for Joy, this 

316
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,800
is the rich Feast that the Lord 
calls, good calls it. 

317
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,400
Good in his design calls, it 
good in Genesis and he says, 

318
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:35,300
it's good. 
He's not ashamed of it. 

319
00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:38,200
He's not embarrassed by it, and 
All the details that go along 

320
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,000
with it that we won't get into 
here and now because it wouldn't

321
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,700
be appropriate, but everything 
that goes along with that, God 

322
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:48,100
says it's good. 
Husband and wife, it's good, 

323
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:52,800
it's beautiful, it's wonderful, 
it's Rich, it's pleasing, it's 

324
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,700
healthy, its wholesome. 
We don't have to have church, 

325
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:59,000
lady syndrome about it. 
You know, that's, that's a net. 

326
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,500
That's a necessary evil. 
That's a naughty thing. 

327
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,000
Not at all, not at all now. 
Satan of course, is a pervert. 

328
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,500
So, Satan will always take God 
has done is good and true, and 

329
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,200
beautiful, and then begin to 
create perversions and 

330
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,100
distortions of it. 
And there are many, but how do 

331
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:16,700
we know what's good and true and
beautiful a man? 

332
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:19,600
And a woman, being married 
coming together in the marriage 

333
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,600
bed, loving one, another 
comforting one another. 

334
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:25,800
So all that the Lord intended 
for us is to be enjoyed their, 

335
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,100
there's trust. 
There's passion, there's 

336
00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:30,300
comfort. 
And there's pleasure sexual 

337
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:34,300
expression, outside of that 
Feast that the Lord has given is

338
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:38,100
sexual sin. 
He gives us a table to eat at 

339
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:41,900
and tells us to enjoy his proof 
his provision and he says 

340
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:47,300
absolutely not two variations 
thereof, that means he's 

341
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:50,100
prepared. 
This amazing Feast magic going 

342
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:52,100
to Grandma's and she made that 
amazing spread. 

343
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:55,300
The amazing incredible feast and
you say can I have a TV dinner? 

344
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,400
She says, absolutely not. 
I've been working on this. 

345
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:02,800
This is good. 
This is everything you need and 

346
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,500
nothing. 
You don't Can I go to the 

347
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:06,900
drive-through? 
No. 

348
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:09,200
Can we order a pizza? 
No. 

349
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,200
Can I go get a gas station? 
Burrito? 

350
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,099
No. 
The marriage bed has everything 

351
00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:19,200
that you need and nothing that 
you don't as it pertains to 

352
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,700
sexual Holiness and sexual 
fulfillment. 

353
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,300
This is good news, nothing is 
lacking there. 

354
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:28,900
And well, I feel like I would 
well, the marriage bed has 

355
00:17:28,900 --> 00:17:31,600
everything. 
It's good, it's true, it's 

356
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,200
beautiful. 
It's a healthy thing. 

357
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,500
He goes on to describe he says 
sexual immorality and impurity. 

358
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:41,300
So what's impurity impurity is a
state of moral filthiness. 

359
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,200
So just the overall filth and 
then he uses the word 

360
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,200
covetousness, what's 
covetousness. 

361
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,400
Well Thou shalt not covet is one
of The Commandments, not your 

362
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,700
neighbor's house, not his wife, 
not his male servant, or his 

363
00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:58,900
female servant, or his donkey or
any other Critter that he's got 

364
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,600
But what is this covetousness? 
It's a greediness, it's the 

365
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,400
Desiring. 
It's an overreaching to what 

366
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,200
someone else has. 
When God gave us the Ten 

367
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,200
Commandments, he commanded us 
not to covet. 

368
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,000
And wife is mentioned there and 
hear the context we know is 

369
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,100
still in the same realm, we 
still know. 

370
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:18,100
He's talking about sexuality 
here, that's the context of all 

371
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:22,400
these verses. 
This is still the context so hey

372
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,700
no no MM, no, no immorality in 
that area. 

373
00:18:25,700 --> 00:18:29,500
No, impurity in that area, don't
covet something, that's not 

374
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:30,900
yours or someone who's not 
yours. 

375
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:34,600
And there were times in the 
ancient world where everything 

376
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,300
was acceptable and this area of 
your life as long as you didn't 

377
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:39,900
mess with another man's 
marriage. 

378
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,700
So the door was wide open from 
for prostitution, servants 

379
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:48,200
slaves. 
Nothing's off-limits is don't 

380
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,100
mess with another man's wife. 
That's the only, it's the only 

381
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:52,600
standard. 
We have so people felt like, 

382
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:55,600
well, we've got a standard, you 
know, where, you know, we've got

383
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,900
standards. 
We got something that we live 

384
00:18:56,900 --> 00:19:00,100
by, but the lord has laid out 
something very different for us 

385
00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:01,800
throughout his word. 
He's saying no, I've given you a

386
00:19:01,808 --> 00:19:04,800
feast, everything else is a 
perversion of distortion and 

387
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,600
ultimately its destructive. 
This is what a good father does.

388
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,100
He's saying I love you. 
I've designed and prepared. 

389
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:12,800
What's best for you? 
Please don't go elsewhere, 

390
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,700
there's bad consequences, and 
bad results, that come from 

391
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:18,900
this. 
So, if I walk in love as a 

392
00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:23,000
married man, then I'm going to 
lovingly, then I'm going to 

393
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,200
lovingly, be faithful to my 
wife, in my mind, and in my 

394
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,200
body, and I'm going to and I'm 
going to be loving towards 

395
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,200
women. 
Who aren't my wife by not 

396
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,600
lusting after them and not 
leading them in any way towards 

397
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,700
sin. 
If I walk in love as an 

398
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:41,400
unmarried man, I'm loving to 
women by not lusting after them 

399
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,200
and objectifying them or trying 
to lead them to sin as well. 

400
00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:46,300
These all still connect back to 
Walking In Love. 

401
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:49,700
Everything can always connect 
back to walking love or you just

402
00:19:49,700 --> 00:19:51,100
don't lust. 
Well, that's true. 

403
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,100
But walking, you love, protects 
you from lust. 

404
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:55,100
Whenever my motive is an 
offensive one. 

405
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:59,300
Go on offense and walk in love 
instead of like hold back. 

406
00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:01,500
The forces of lust phone back 
on. 

407
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:05,400
Well, pursue love act like your 
father, this gives you something

408
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,500
to do something to sink your 
teeth into instead of something 

409
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:11,200
to just shoulder the door and 
hope to keep the door. 

410
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,100
Shut, that's a failing fight. 
Anybody ever been there? 

411
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,400
I have. 
That's a failing fight. 

412
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:21,600
Instead of how can I pursue 
something with something I can 

413
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,900
do, how can I be aggressive with
the word of God? 

414
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:27,700
How can I be aggressive with my 
pursuit of my father? 

415
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:31,100
Not only do I, don't look at a 
woman this way, don't look at a 

416
00:20:31,108 --> 00:20:33,300
woman this way, do look at a 
woman this way. 

417
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:36,100
See her and as an image bearer 
of the Lord, now you have a 

418
00:20:36,108 --> 00:20:38,300
compassion. 
Have you prayed for her? 

419
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,800
Have you prayed for him? 
Have you now? 

420
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:43,700
Now I'm allowing the Holy Spirit
to cultivate and work in. 

421
00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:44,900
They were getting real 
practical. 

422
00:20:44,900 --> 00:20:46,100
We're getting a little 
uncomfortable. 

423
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:48,000
Probably. 
Because it's real talk and it's 

424
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,500
real life. 
I'm a real person. 

425
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,100
I don't know if anybody else in 
here is but I suspect you are. 

426
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:55,900
So I suspect that you have had 
you've been touched in some way 

427
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000
by sexual immorality, somewhere 
in your life, at some point, 

428
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,100
some how it has impacted you or 
affected you and you have maybe 

429
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:06,300
even send in that way. 
So this is helpful for us. 

430
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:08,200
This is good for us to 
understand what the Lord's 

431
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,600
standard is and what his ideals 
are. 

432
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:20,000
Verse 4, let there be no 
filthiness nor foolish talk, no 

433
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,900
crude joking, which are out of 
place. 

434
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,500
But instead let there be 
Thanksgiving, I was deeply 

435
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:27,300
convicted as I Was preparing 
this message and I repented to 

436
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:30,400
the Lord and I'm repenting and 
I'm doing that publicly as well 

437
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,800
to confess my own sin of crew. 
Joking, foolish talk filthiness 

438
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:41,800
so I don't want to justify or 
defend anything, but I do want 

439
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,300
to acknowledge that. 
I do have a desire to hold up 

440
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:46,800
the good. 
Ruin the beautiful. 

441
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,800
When it comes to a husband and 
wife enjoying God's best, but 

442
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,800
there have been times where in 
my desire to do. 

443
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:58,500
So I have gone too far in my 
desire to combat the church lady

444
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:01,600
syndrome that I teased about a 
moment ago that would say this 

445
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,500
is uncomfortable. 
You know, that that's an 

446
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:06,900
Untouchable subject. 
I have gone to the place of 

447
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:10,600
crassness in the past, all in 
the name of, it's good. 

448
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,700
God made it, it's good. 
Well, it is good. 

449
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,600
It is wonderful. 
It is a rich feast and there's 

450
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,500
much much to enjoy, go read The 
Song of Solomon and blush and at

451
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:23,500
the same time, at the same time,
I have sinned in this way and 

452
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:26,000
been crass and taking something 
that again. 

453
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,200
It's, is it good? 
And can we have fun with this? 

454
00:22:28,300 --> 00:22:31,800
Yes, plenty plenty of joy and 
pleasure there and yet there's a

455
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,600
time and a place for everything.
There's a time and a place for 

456
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,100
everything. 
So in particular I was really 

457
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:40,400
convicted on this foolish, talk 
and crude joking. 

458
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,600
Actually in the Greek here. 
This is where we get our word 

459
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,900
moron from. 
I didn't tell you this a minute 

460
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:46,800
ago. 
It's sexual immorality. 

461
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,800
That used in the Greek is poor 
Nia. 

462
00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:52,400
Imagine where we got what words 
we derive from there are word. 

463
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,900
Pornography comes from this. 
So all of these understandings 

464
00:22:56,100 --> 00:23:01,200
broad sexual sin, but it even 
includes my talk, even whenever 

465
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,400
I'm not doing wrong with my body
or even deliberately going into 

466
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:08,500
inappropriate places with my 
mind, I'm just joking. 

467
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,700
It's just a joke. 
I'm just joking, I'm just 

468
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:14,400
goofing off relax, that's my 
defense. 

469
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,300
That's it's an easy thing. 
Hey hey Hey you need to lighten 

470
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:21,400
up. 
Well maybe or maybe I need to 

471
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:23,800
not have talked. 
That's out of place. 

472
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,300
But instead what am I supposed 
to do? 

473
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:27,500
Instead? 
Go on offense, let there be 

474
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:29,800
Thanksgiving. 
What should Christian conduct 

475
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:30,800
look like? 
What's your Christian 

476
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,200
conversation? 
Be like it should be wholesome. 

477
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:35,600
It should be up building. 
Can we talk about the goodness 

478
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,900
of the marriage bed? 
Absolutely but there's a way 

479
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:40,100
there's an appropriate way to do
that. 

480
00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:41,800
And there's an inappropriate way
to do that. 

481
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,900
Should we rejoice in God's good 
design? 

482
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:45,700
And all that goes along with it?
Definitely. 

483
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:50,600
Yes, eat drink and be filled 
with the marriage bed and yet 

484
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,000
there's there's a time and a 
place in a way. 

485
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,100
So we don't want to do things 
that are out of place. 

486
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:57,700
We want to do it the right way 
so that it's pleasing the Lord. 

487
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,700
So maybe I'm not going to taste 
of this kind of sin in 

488
00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:05,700
particular by getting my hands 
dirty but I still do through my 

489
00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:08,400
conversation and speech but 
that's out of place for the new 

490
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,400
man. 
Why back to verse 1? 

491
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:13,600
Be imitators of God as dearly 
beloved children. 

492
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,900
Just be like your father, the 
right thing at the right time. 

493
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:20,700
Time appropriate wholesome, 
honorable, mature calling, what 

494
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:25,000
is good, good without apology. 
I think a church are is greatly 

495
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,100
on this subject. 
Greatly it is it is, it is held 

496
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:29,900
down. 
It's gone. 

497
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:33,100
You that don't talk about it, 
it's really kind of a necessary 

498
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:35,800
evil that is false, that's 
wrong, that's a perversion in 

499
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,700
itself. 
But we also don't want to go to 

500
00:24:37,708 --> 00:24:42,900
a place that becomes crass or 
filthy Who can who's fit for 

501
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:44,700
such things? 
Well, this is why we need the 

502
00:24:44,708 --> 00:24:47,300
direction and the wisdom of God 
is why we need the sharpening of

503
00:24:47,308 --> 00:24:48,900
one another. 
That's why I need you to go 

504
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:51,300
ahead. 
Jay, um, that's, that's a bit 

505
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:52,000
much. 
I go. 

506
00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:53,600
You're right. 
I'm sorry. 

507
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:58,000
Thank you. 
I confess that sin and I put it 

508
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,900
aside, I've missed the mark and 
I'm back on track because you're

509
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:05,800
looking out for me because I'm 
looking out for you. so we're 

510
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,900
putting on the new clothes so 
that our conversation is what 

511
00:25:08,900 --> 00:25:11,700
full of gratitude, full of 
rejoicing, full of things that 

512
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:15,200
build up full of things that are
wholesome, like our father verse

513
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:20,200
5, for you, may be sure of this 
that anyone who is sexually 

514
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,300
immoral or impure or his 
Covetous has no inheritance in 

515
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:30,800
the Kingdom of Christ and God 
Wow, what is it does that mean 

516
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:31,700
what? 
I think it means? 

517
00:25:31,900 --> 00:25:34,700
Yes, it does. 
Does the bible mean what it 

518
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:36,900
says? 
Yes, the person who practices 

519
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:40,300
this lifestyle and I'll explain 
more of this in a moment, the 

520
00:25:40,300 --> 00:25:43,800
kind of person who practices 
this lifestyle will not go to 

521
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,900
heaven. 
I'm not shoehorning that in 

522
00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:49,600
there. 
That's right there for you to 

523
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,800
read for yourself, be able rien 
and study it out. 

524
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,700
You may be sure of this Paul 
wants them to know everyone who 

525
00:25:55,700 --> 00:25:59,400
is sexually immoral or impure, 
or is Covetous has no 

526
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,200
inheritance in the Kingdom of 
Christ and God, let no one 

527
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,900
deceive you with empty words 
because he knows what's coming 

528
00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:09,500
next, right? 
I don't think it's saying, I let

529
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:12,400
nobody deceive you with the 
follow up that they're going to 

530
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,700
try and deceive you with. 
Now, I don't know if we really 

531
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:17,800
got it. 
The Holy Spirit knew that was 

532
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,600
coming. 
Let no one deceive you with 

533
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,900
empty words for because of these
things, what things sexual 

534
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:25,600
immorality? 
Because of these things, the 

535
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,100
wrath of God comes upon the sons
of Disobedience. 

536
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,000
Therefore do not become partners
with them for a one time you 

537
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,400
were Darkness but now you are 
light in the Lord walk as 

538
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,200
children of light. 
For the fruit of light is found 

539
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,800
in all that is good and right 
and true. 

540
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,800
So let no one deceive you with 
empty words. 

541
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,000
Don't let a backslider tell you.
What? 

542
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,100
The father looks like and what 
the father is okay with him, but

543
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:57,500
he's not okay with backsliders 
are not safe and they cannot be 

544
00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:01,700
trusted. 
People who don't walk with the 

545
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:03,900
Lord at all are certainly not 
safe and cannot be trusted when 

546
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:06,900
it comes to his standards. 
Let no one deceive you with 

547
00:27:06,900 --> 00:27:11,300
empty words, no, one who lives, 
this way will go to heaven. 

548
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:14,500
Well, I've sinned that way, so 
there's a difference between 

549
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:17,100
living this lifestyle, which is 
what Paul is laying out here. 

550
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:19,700
Paul is writing to the 
Christians but he's writing in 

551
00:27:19,700 --> 00:27:21,700
this moment. 
He's not talking about the 

552
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:25,000
Christians, he's talking about a
non-Christian anyone who lives? 

553
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,900
This lifestyle, are you living? 
A lifestyle of sexual morality? 

554
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,000
Well, yeah, I'm Dang it. 
I'm in like I'm embracing it. 

555
00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:37,000
Yes this is my lifestyle like 
it's who I am. 

556
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,600
Well then that person. 
The scripture is saying isn't 

557
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,700
born again. 
They haven't been washed in the 

558
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:44,700
shower of the Lord yet, so they 
can't even put on the new man. 

559
00:27:44,700 --> 00:27:47,200
Yet, they have to be made new 
you at. 

560
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,600
This is who you and I were, he 
didn't even just say you used to

561
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,500
live in darkness jamychal. 
He says you were Darkness. 

562
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,100
You were Darkness. 
But the Lord turned on the 

563
00:27:57,100 --> 00:28:00,900
light, he installed a new light 
and now you can put on the new 

564
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:03,000
man appropriately. 
So he is still correct. 

565
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,600
And Christians though. 
So as a Christian, I still have 

566
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,300
the capacity and the ability to 
send but because I sin I have 

567
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:13,100
not lost fellowship with the 
father Natalie and I are married

568
00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:15,600
and we love each other. 
If we have an argument we have 

569
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,500
not become divorced. 
Our fellowship may be hindered 

570
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:21,500
in that moment but our 
relationship is not severed. 

571
00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:25,700
So in the same way, if I sinned 
against the Lord, my fellowship 

572
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:28,800
has been hindered in some way. 
I've grieved the Lord, my 

573
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,400
fellowship is hindered, but he 
and he wants me to repent and 

574
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,500
restore it immediately. 
He offers Grace, but my 

575
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:37,100
relationship hasn't been 
severed. 

576
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,700
I've been made new and I put on 
dirty clothes. 

577
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,700
He's going wrong clothes. 
Take them off and go. 

578
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,500
Thank you, Lord. 
He puts it back home and we move

579
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:49,700
on with Grace. 
Not with and not with an immense

580
00:28:49,700 --> 00:28:53,100
season of shame. 
But by his grace because he's 

581
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:55,800
good, because he's kind because 
he's gentle because he's 

582
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,700
faithful. 
So for the Christian whose 

583
00:28:57,700 --> 00:29:00,100
tender-hearted will praise God, 
the very fact that your tender 

584
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:03,500
heart and you going, that's 
conviction of the Lord that you 

585
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:05,200
feel. 
But what, he's describing here, 

586
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,400
those who practice this 
lifestyle, you can be sure of 

587
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,300
this anyone who lives this life.
Has no inheritance in the 

588
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:16,000
Kingdom of Christ and of God, 
let no one deceive you with 

589
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,300
empty words. 
So what are empty words? 

590
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,000
I give you some examples of 
empty words when it comes to 

591
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,900
sexual morality. 
That's a bit old-fashioned. 

592
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:30,800
Don't you think empty words? 
You got a test drive, a car 

593
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,500
before you buy it. 
Empty words. 

594
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,600
Marriage is just a piece of 
paper. 

595
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:46,500
Empty words. 
Or the emptiest of all Love Is 

596
00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:51,400
Love. 
That that's not even a sentence 

597
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,700
that doesn't make any sense at 
all. 

598
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:56,800
Empty words. 
He's the things that we're 

599
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,100
hearing in the in our modern 
emphasis, what's happening? 

600
00:30:00,100 --> 00:30:03,000
Well, God's Wrath is coming on 
the sons of Disobedience. 

601
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:06,300
Do not Unite with them there in 
the dark and you're in the 

602
00:30:06,308 --> 00:30:08,400
light. 
If you're a child of the light 

603
00:30:08,700 --> 00:30:11,200
and your fruit should look 
entirely different from theirs, 

604
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,400
do not be deceived by these 
empty words. 

605
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,500
Why? 
Well, because he puts such a 

606
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:19,400
weight on it, he's not saying, 
hey guys, let's just do our best

607
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,700
and as long as you've done your 
best, he's saying, hey guys, you

608
00:30:22,700 --> 00:30:27,800
can be sure of this, this 
lifestyle Sexual immorality, you

609
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,000
can't inherit the kingdom of 
God, and Christ, you will go to 

610
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,100
hell. 
There's other ways to say this. 

611
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:37,700
Let nobody deceive you and try 
and follow in and go. 

612
00:30:37,700 --> 00:30:40,800
Hey, well actually, if you think
about it like this know, the 

613
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,300
wrath of God comes upon those 
sons of Disobedience. 

614
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:48,100
Therefore don't become partners 
with them there in the dark, 

615
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,500
you're in the light. 
What do we want to do then? 

616
00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:54,200
We want to bring the light to 
them and that's that's the hard 

617
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,200
part. 
That's the Challenge. 

618
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,200
That's where we can enter into 
discomfort and that's where if 

619
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,600
we're not confident in the 
scripture where almost feel like

620
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,800
we're telling God's good news, 
but we're giving it with an 

621
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,700
apology. 
I've got some bad news is the 

622
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:09,600
way we approach people and 
sexual morality. 

623
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,500
I've got bad news, I'm really 
sorry to be the one to break 

624
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:15,900
this to you. 
I'm really sorry to tell you 

625
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:22,700
this, but You can't do that. 
They have a gas station burrito.

626
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,500
We have an incredible Feast. 
The Lord has an incredible Feast

627
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:28,200
to offer them and we're going. 
I'm so sorry to do this to you, 

628
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,900
but the Lord would like to 
invite you to his amazing 

629
00:31:30,900 --> 00:31:34,700
banquet But you're going to have
to throw away your burrito. 

630
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:38,400
Why are we apologizing? 
I know you got the drive 

631
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,300
through. 
I know you picked up some 

632
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:42,200
Hardy's drive-through. 
It's been sitting. 

633
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,900
In the back seat, I tried to 
make it worse. 

634
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,500
It's been sitting in the 
backseat for a couple days and I

635
00:31:47,508 --> 00:31:48,900
know you've been nibbling on 
that. 

636
00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:51,700
I'm really sorry to do this. 
I hate to be the bearer of bad 

637
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:55,700
news. 
But YouTube, you two shouldn't 

638
00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:59,000
be doing this. 
Who do you think you are? 

639
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:01,300
I'm a child of the father who 
loves you. 

640
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,100
Insert your preferred sexual 
morality here. 

641
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,800
That's the one, that's the one 
that the Lord is after he just 

642
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,800
trying to take my stuff. 
No, you don't understand. 

643
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,200
There's a feast, the marriage 
bed is there's a feast, it's 

644
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,600
Rich. 
It's wonderful. 

645
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:21,200
So, what does this include will 
include everything 

646
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000
homosexuality? 
It's not good. 

647
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,500
It's not okay, it's not ideal. 
Sex outside of marriage, in any 

648
00:32:29,500 --> 00:32:31,800
form. 
It's not acceptable, it's not 

649
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,700
okay, it's not ideal. 
The Lord says, I've given you a 

650
00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:37,700
feast, your choosing something 
else. 

651
00:32:37,700 --> 00:32:41,100
Well it's convenient, we got 
this going on, we got that going

652
00:32:41,100 --> 00:32:43,200
on. 
It's just something that used to

653
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,600
just happen, more with younger 
people. 

654
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,200
It's been a phenomenon is 
happening more and more with 

655
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,000
older people as well. 
Someone's lost a spouse and my 

656
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,500
house is also spouse. 
We're just going to kind of like

657
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,000
blend together. 
It's even happening in older 

658
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,500
Generations now because they 
don't want to lose their 

659
00:32:57,500 --> 00:32:59,800
benefits. 
So obedience to the Lord has a 

660
00:32:59,808 --> 00:33:02,500
cost and the cost is my 
retirement. 

661
00:33:03,100 --> 00:33:06,300
I won't, I'm not willing to give
up my retirement because then 

662
00:33:06,300 --> 00:33:10,600
like, you know, my 401k thing or
my retirement package, or the 

663
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,700
disability is going to be 
different, okay? 

664
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:18,800
So so you have a limit to how 
you'll follow the lord Just be 

665
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,700
honest about it that it that is 
where you are, and that's not a 

666
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:26,100
safe place to be any sexual 
immorality. 

667
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:28,700
The Lord says, I have something 
better, I have something ideal 

668
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:32,600
and it's like with all Sim when 
we, when we take up the Lord, 

669
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,800
what he's really handing to us. 
We realize we were always giving

670
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,100
up trash. 
Anyway, we didn't have something

671
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:41,000
special or something good. 
We were just serving ourselves. 

672
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:44,800
Don't be deceived by empty 
words. 

673
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,200
Verse 10, what are we supposed 
to do? 

674
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:52,000
Instead, try to discern, what is
pleasing to the Lord, try to 

675
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,500
discern. 
So in areas if there's an area 

676
00:33:54,500 --> 00:33:58,100
of your life that you're saying 
I don't know I guess I'm a 

677
00:33:58,108 --> 00:34:00,900
little unsure like the scripture
is not really explicitly plane 

678
00:34:00,900 --> 00:34:03,900
on this particular thing 
although it is on plenty. 

679
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,500
If it's not explicitly playing 
on this particular thing. 

680
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,400
Well then try to discern. 
Put effort into it. 

681
00:34:09,408 --> 00:34:11,800
Don't be lazy about it, love 
them enough to please him more 

682
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:15,000
even in areas where you may not 
have a precise command obey, 

683
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:20,400
examine and test. 
That's what I was doing when it 

684
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,100
came to. 
Like I was talking about 

685
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,800
misconduct in my speech or Miss 
speech crew joking. 

686
00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:30,300
That's an area where it might 
feel like this gray is Agri okay

687
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,600
brother or sister Brothers? 
I think would be I think we are 

688
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,000
on this probably more 
frequently. 

689
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:41,100
Are you unsure on that thing? 
Okay, well then test it test it.

690
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:43,800
Lord Lord. 
I don't know if I want to ask, 

691
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:48,500
then you got your answer. 
I got my answer to, we know, but

692
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:52,600
let's be like Our Father Who 
Loved Us and tells us to love, 

693
00:34:52,699 --> 00:34:55,600
just like him, discern put 
effort into it, love him enough 

694
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,700
to please, him more, examine it 
and tested a loving spouse does 

695
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:02,300
this for their spouse. 
We examine things, we test 

696
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:04,500
things, and what would be? 
What would be pleasing to my 

697
00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:05,800
wife? 
What would serve my wife? 

698
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,900
Well, I want to know. 
Do you like this? 

699
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:09,700
Do you like that? 
Is this a blessing to you? 

700
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:11,200
I know you want your feet, 
massage. 

701
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,100
I know when her little feet find
their way to my lap, they wiggle

702
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,600
and they'll wiggle a few times 
and if I don't massage them 

703
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,900
eventually, she'll ask for them 
to be massaged. 

704
00:35:19,900 --> 00:35:24,100
But now I'm trained to just when
those feet get in my lap I just 

705
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:27,300
I don't even think about it. 
I'm just saying I'm a robot at 

706
00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:30,200
this point. 
I just massage the feet 

707
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,800
automatically so you should love
to please your spouse. 

708
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:38,700
But you should live and love to,
please God. 

709
00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:42,600
So, if there's anybody, you've 
ever sought to cater to anybody 

710
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,600
you've ever thought, I've got 
this preference, but they've got

711
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:45,400
that one. 
So I'm going to go with. 

712
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,400
There's you done that for 
somebody that you love, right? 

713
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,100
I prefer this, but they prefer 
that. 

714
00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:53,600
So I want to, I want to give to 
them how much more for the Lord.

715
00:35:53,900 --> 00:35:56,200
Oh my I really would like this, 
the Lord's going. 

716
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,000
I want this. 
I want the what the Lord wants, 

717
00:35:59,700 --> 00:36:06,100
because I love him and also it's
actually what's best He knows 

718
00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:08,200
what's best. 
He's not keeping anything from 

719
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,100
us. 
Verse 11, through 13. 

720
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:13,900
Take no part in the unfruitful 
works of darkness. 

721
00:36:14,500 --> 00:36:17,900
Still he's all in the same 
context here but instead expose 

722
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:21,000
them for it's shameful even to 
speak of the things that they do

723
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,800
in secret, maybe he's 
referencing the temple, the 

724
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,300
temple worship that was 
happening there. 

725
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:27,800
Maybe is worshipping this 
talking about the stuff that was

726
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,100
happening publicly in the 
streets in Ephesus. 

727
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:32,700
He's going it's we don't even 
need to go there. 

728
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,300
Verse 13, he says, but when 
anything is exposed By the 

729
00:36:37,300 --> 00:36:42,100
Light, it becomes visible for 
anything that becomes visible is

730
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:44,900
light. 
Therefore, it says awake, o 

731
00:36:44,900 --> 00:36:48,500
sleeper and arise from the dead.
In Christ will shine on you. 

732
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:53,700
So, we live in a world where 
it's considered worse to judge 

733
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:57,300
evil. 
Than it is to do evil. 

734
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:07,200
That's the greatest sin 
according to our culture, and 

735
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,500
every culture has sins. 
By the way, every people group, 

736
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,200
every every country in the world
has blasphemy laws, the question

737
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,400
just depends on which God they 
worship. 

738
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,600
So, there's things in America 
that you quote, I know legally, 

739
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,100
we have the freedom of speech, 
but there's things that Society 

740
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,200
will push against you if you 
fight against their Pagan. 

741
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,400
God, these are called blasphemy 
laws, no one acknowledges them. 

742
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:31,300
But there's things that you 
can't say, there's things that. 

743
00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:34,800
If you say they will, they will 
draw Some some backlash from 

744
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,700
certain people groups, as 
Society has become more and more

745
00:37:37,700 --> 00:37:42,400
depraved and perverted. 
So you will be called evil 

746
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,400
because you're judging rather 
than anyone caring about the 

747
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,100
evil that's actually taking 
place. 

748
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,300
We live in a country. 
We live in a moment where it's 

749
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,900
considered worse to judge evil 
than it is to actually do the 

750
00:37:54,900 --> 00:37:58,300
evil and yet we're commanded to 
do just that we're commanded to 

751
00:37:58,300 --> 00:38:01,600
judge evil in a spirit of 
gentleness. 

752
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,600
We are commanded to be 
truth-tellers. 

753
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,500
So the word expose here does not
refer necessarily to exposure to

754
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:11,300
the point of Shame. 
It's Not exposure for the 

755
00:38:11,300 --> 00:38:16,300
purpose of humiliation expose, 
has to do with refuting and 

756
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:22,300
revealing to refute the lie. 
So kids for the all the little 

757
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:23,500
ones. 
If you haven't read this, you 

758
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:25,600
got to get this storybook for 
your kids because it is a 

759
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,200
perfect Parable for the day we 
live in as well, but it's The 

760
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,000
Emperor's New Clothes. 
I loved it as a little kid 

761
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
because it's got a naked guy in 
it, so it's just funny. 

762
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,900
So, you know, little boy, little
boys think that's funny. 

763
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:39,000
But um, so the emperor, you know
the story, right? 

764
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:43,300
He's got These is seems these 
Taylor's come to town. 

765
00:38:43,300 --> 00:38:46,000
They say we've got this magical 
Fabric, and it's the most 

766
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,200
handsome and most amazing and 
only smart people can see it 

767
00:38:49,300 --> 00:38:51,800
only really wonderful smart. 
People can see this Fabric and 

768
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,000
he goes, I'll take it and he 
pays them a ton of gold, and 

769
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,200
they get to work, making the 
Kings robe and they keep working

770
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,500
on the Kings Road, and they keep
working on the Kings robe. 

771
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:03,800
And his, he sends one of eight 
one of his aides. 

772
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,300
He's not go check on the road. 
I want to hear how is how it's 

773
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,600
how's it coming along? 
And they go, and they look, and 

774
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,400
they see nothing at all. 
All. 

775
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:14,300
And the guys are furiously 
working with their invisible 

776
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,300
thing. 
That only really smart and 

777
00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:18,100
honorable and wise people can 
see. 

778
00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:20,600
So what is the a do when he goes
back to the king? 

779
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:26,400
He says my king. 
It's magnificent, it's 

780
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,100
incredible. 
Wait till you see it King he 

781
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:32,300
didn't see anything, but he 
can't be the idiot. 

782
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,200
Who's who doesn't see it, right?
So he says, it's amazing. 

783
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:39,000
So the Kings come home and I'm 
so excited to put on these new 

784
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000
robes and the king of few days 
later. 

785
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:44,700
Sends another Aid in the same 
story continued King because 

786
00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:46,400
like I didn't see anything. 
I can't let anybody know that 

787
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,200
I'm an idiot. 
So what does he do? 

788
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,900
He becomes an idiot by saying 
it's magnificent and he sends 

789
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:54,900
another guy. 
And finally the robe is brought 

790
00:39:54,900 --> 00:39:59,900
to the king And they and all of 
his Royal, all he's surrounded 

791
00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:02,200
by his counsel. 
All the men that have come to 

792
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,200
see the king be put on his new 
robe and they bring it before 

793
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,800
the king and the two men bring 
it out in the King goes. 

794
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:14,300
Wow, I love it. 
It's amazing! 

795
00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:16,700
Put it on me. 
And now by this point, the whole

796
00:40:16,700 --> 00:40:18,600
Kingdom knows about his new 
robes. 

797
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,900
So, of course, he wants a parade
to go show his new robes and he 

798
00:40:21,908 --> 00:40:25,100
walks through the city and all 
the people in the city are doing

799
00:40:25,100 --> 00:40:27,700
an dying over the Kings robe. 
His only smart people can see 

800
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:29,600
him. 
You got to be real smart and 

801
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,300
finally, someone who's actually 
wise speaks up a little child. 

802
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:37,200
The story says, finally speaks 
up and says, but he has on 

803
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,000
nothing at all and everybody 
finally goes. 

804
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,500
Okay, you don't see it either. 
Oh, you don't see it either, so 

805
00:40:43,500 --> 00:40:45,600
the child is not intending to 
shame the king. 

806
00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:49,800
But whenever you assessed, by 
the way, we're always making 

807
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,400
judgments. 
All people are always making 

808
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,400
judgments whenever you assess 
anything, you are making a 

809
00:40:55,408 --> 00:40:58,100
judgment or mode. 
Is not to humiliate anyone. 

810
00:40:58,300 --> 00:41:01,200
Our motive is the motor motive 
of the father, to get them into 

811
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,300
the father's house. 
You are already exposed in your 

812
00:41:04,300 --> 00:41:06,800
sin. 
I want you to be covered the 

813
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,400
marriage bed, is a place of 
safety. 

814
00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:11,000
The marriage bed is a place of 
security. 

815
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,400
Any other expression outside of 
the marriage bed is insecurity 

816
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,400
is wickedness. 
It's perversion, its Distortion,

817
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:20,000
it destroys your soul. 
And The Souls of any other 

818
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,300
participants whether or not 
their pixels on a screen or 

819
00:41:23,300 --> 00:41:26,300
whether or not their flesh and 
blood or your own mental wife, 

820
00:41:28,300 --> 00:41:32,100
So our motive is to refute and 
tell the truth to continue to 

821
00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:33,300
speak the truth. 
Why? 

822
00:41:33,300 --> 00:41:36,600
Because we know about the feast,
we know about God's best and I'm

823
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,600
not sorry for it. 
Oh, well, can I still have this?

824
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:44,700
No, you cannot have your Frozen 
burrito from 7-Eleven you may 

825
00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:48,900
not we prepared prime rib and we
prepared everything else that 

826
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:50,300
goes along with it. 
Yeah. 

827
00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:52,800
Well I really want this. 
Well, you should be made new. 

828
00:41:53,100 --> 00:41:54,900
You should come to the father's 
table. 

829
00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:57,500
First of all, and pursue him and
love him and want him. 

830
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,800
And then you understand that 
these are the clothes that fit 

831
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,500
you. 
Anyway, these fit you. 

832
00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:04,400
Well, there's something itchy 
about those clothes. 

833
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,600
There's something toxic about 
those clothes. 

834
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,000
There's lots of problems with 
them. 

835
00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:10,400
Well, I Seen all that. 
Give it time. 

836
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,600
There's pleasure in sin for a 
season. 

837
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,500
It is a season. 
Maybe your season will be short.

838
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:20,000
Maybe it will be long when it 
runs out it's empty it's 

839
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,200
damaging. 
What am I to do? 

840
00:42:23,500 --> 00:42:28,200
Awake o sleeper and rise from 
the dead and Christ will shine 

841
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:34,100
upon you. 
The light of God has been given.

842
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,000
He has given us. 
Hope he's given us help. 

843
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,100
But if we run from the light 
he'll allow us to do. 

844
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:47,500
So John 3:16 Jesus is talking 
for God. 

845
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:51,400
So loved the world that he gave 
his only son that whoever 

846
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,200
believes in him, shall not 
perish but have eternal life. 

847
00:42:56,300 --> 00:43:00,400
Verse 17 for God did not send 
his son into the world to 

848
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,400
condemn, the world, not at all. 
Jesus was not sent to condemn 

849
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,700
us, praise God. 
But in order, that the world 

850
00:43:07,700 --> 00:43:12,900
might be saved through him. 
Verse 18, whoever believes in 

851
00:43:12,908 --> 00:43:18,500
him is not condemned, but 
whoever does not believe, is 

852
00:43:18,500 --> 00:43:22,300
condemned already. 
Condemnation was my natural 

853
00:43:22,300 --> 00:43:24,900
state already. 
Jesus didn't come to condemn me.

854
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,600
I was already Condemned because 
of who I was born as I was born 

855
00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:34,400
as a sinner sexual immorality. 
Was a part of who I was outside 

856
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,400
of Christ. 
I didn't learn it. 

857
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,100
It was in me, it didn't come 
from the outside. 

858
00:43:39,100 --> 00:43:45,700
It came from the inside. 
So, I need to be rescued, I 

859
00:43:45,708 --> 00:43:50,000
needed to be saved. 
Whoever does not believe in him 

860
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,100
is condemned already. 
Why? 

861
00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:55,400
Because he has not believed in 
the name of the only son of God,

862
00:43:55,900 --> 00:43:58,500
and this is the Judgment. 
Oh, there's a judgment there. 

863
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:02,100
Is this is the Judgment. 
The light is come into the world

864
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,000
and people loved the darkness 
rather than the light because 

865
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,300
their Works were evil. 
For everyone. 

866
00:44:08,300 --> 00:44:11,600
Who does wicked things hates the
light and does not come to the 

867
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,300
light, lest his Works, should be
exposed but whoever does what 

868
00:44:15,300 --> 00:44:18,300
his true comes to the light so 
that it may be clearly seen. 

869
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,900
And that his Works have been 
carried out in God. 

870
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,800
You can't do anything in God 
unless he first turns on that 

871
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,500
light and Jesus is the light of 
the world who comes into the 

872
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:32,000
world to make us his church. 
And at that place it's from that

873
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,300
point where we can say I have a 
new desire I want, what's right?

874
00:44:36,300 --> 00:44:40,000
I still have flesh, I still have
Temptation, I still have the 

875
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:45,000
capacity for sin, but my wanter.
Wa NT. 

876
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:50,600
ER, my Wonder has been changed. 
I used to want the wrong things.

877
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,100
Now I have a new desire. 
The flesh is still there. 

878
00:44:53,300 --> 00:44:57,000
He's got to be crucified. 
And when I don't crucify him, 

879
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,900
I'll repent for that sin away. 
Co-Sleeper who does he saying 

880
00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:04,200
that to well theologians argue 
whether or not that's that verse

881
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,200
was intended. 
And Paul meant that the Holy 

882
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,600
Spirit meant that for the Lost 
World in that moment others say 

883
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,500
he was directing it toward the 
church. 

884
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:16,300
I say, why not both. 
If your ass ain't wake up, wake 

885
00:45:16,300 --> 00:45:18,000
up. 
If you've, if you've grown 

886
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,900
accustom and you go normal to 
sexual morality in your life, 

887
00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:24,400
wake up. 
Arise from the dead. 

888
00:45:24,500 --> 00:45:27,500
You're not totally spiritually 
dead but this is not a safe 

889
00:45:27,500 --> 00:45:32,500
wiser healthy Place. 
Wake up repent and eradicate it 

890
00:45:33,300 --> 00:45:34,800
enjoy. 
The feast that the Lord has said

891
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,400
at his table. 
If you don't know the Lord, if 

892
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,100
you don't walk with the Lord 
you're gone, I do live in sexual

893
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:45,500
morality wake up, Christ loves 
you and he does not condemn you,

894
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:49,400
you're already condemned. 
So be rescued by the love. 

895
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,700
And by the grace of God, he 
loves you. 

896
00:45:52,300 --> 00:45:55,700
He's not holding you a bag on 
clean up, clean up your act and 

897
00:45:55,700 --> 00:45:58,900
then you can come into my house.
He's saying I'll rescue you, 

898
00:45:58,900 --> 00:46:01,200
I'll clean you. 
I'll make you new, that's it. 

899
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,400
I am the doer. 
I Am The Miracle Worker. 

900
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,200
It's not about stop, the sexual 
immorality, and now, You're 

901
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,900
allowed in my house. 
It's, you've got to be made new.

902
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,100
You can't stop anything. 
You can't do anything, choose to

903
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:15,700
bend the knee to the Lord, Jesus
Christ, and full and true 

904
00:46:15,700 --> 00:46:18,700
submission, and humility. 
And say my life is yours. 

905
00:46:18,700 --> 00:46:21,100
Rescue me from my condemnation. 
I love you. 

906
00:46:21,100 --> 00:46:24,500
I worship you. 
And he says, you're made new and

907
00:46:24,500 --> 00:46:26,600
now we walk out. 
What does it look like to walk 

908
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,700
it out? 
I can't do that anymore. 

909
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:33,100
I won't look at that anymore. 
I'm avoiding that website. 

910
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:34,700
Now, I'm avoiding that 
relationship. 

911
00:46:34,700 --> 00:46:38,400
I'm moving out of this house. 
I'm I'm asking her to marry me 

912
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,000
all these things start to step 
into place and I go, there's a 

913
00:46:42,008 --> 00:46:44,600
right way. 
Now to live like my father to be

914
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,200
an imitator of God as a dearly 
beloved Child live. 

915
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,000
Like your father, carry his 
light. 

916
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,700
Leave every kind of sexual sin 
and don't be deceived, avoid the

917
00:46:53,700 --> 00:46:57,400
wrath of God don't Unite with 
the sons of Disobedience and 

918
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,200
Christ will shine on you and 
even a greater measure and 

919
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,100
you'll be fit for all of his 
kingdom work. 

920
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,400
That's what we want. 
That's what we signed up for. 

921
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:08,600
A soldier in battle, he doesn't 
have time for nonsense, he 

922
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,500
doesn't have time for civilian 
Affairs. 

923
00:47:11,100 --> 00:47:15,700
We've got a greater work that 
goes beyond my preference. 

924
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,500
And the momentary thing that I 
may feel like I'm giving up, the

925
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:22,700
Lord has a rich Feast prepared 
to the marriage table at the end

926
00:47:22,700 --> 00:47:25,000
them in the marriage bed for his
people. 

927
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,600
All other things. 
All other Temptations are 

928
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,700
distractions their lives, their 
unhealthy, and their own 

929
00:47:30,700 --> 00:47:33,100
helpful. 
And on top of this, this is one 

930
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:35,200
of the many ways that we carry 
our light into the world. 

931
00:47:35,900 --> 00:47:37,900
Say there's a wholeness, there's
a truth, there's a goodness in, 

932
00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:40,100
there's a beauty. 
God Is A Healer, God is a 

933
00:47:40,100 --> 00:47:42,900
forgiver and God loves us. 
This is good news. 

934
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:44,900
You haven't heard any bad news 
today. 

935
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,500
Not one piece of what you've 
heard today, was bad news, no 

936
00:47:48,500 --> 00:47:51,200
matter where you are, when you 
don't know what kind of sin, I 

937
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,900
got. 
No, no, I'm assuming the worst, 

938
00:47:54,100 --> 00:47:55,400
I'm assuming the worst about all
of you. 

939
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:01,200
I'm assuming all of you are lost
in deep deep deep sexual sin and

940
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,000
I've given you nothing but good 
news today no matter how its so 

941
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,500
depraved. 
It's so dark. 

942
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,700
Jesus is blood is not 
intimidated by your sin. 

943
00:48:10,700 --> 00:48:13,400
He is not afraid and his 
forgiveness and kindness 

944
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,300
extends, so bring it to the 
Cross. 

945
00:48:16,300 --> 00:48:18,900
Let's do that together. 
Heavenly Father, we love you, we

946
00:48:18,900 --> 00:48:21,700
thank you for the kindness that 
you've offered through the cross

947
00:48:21,700 --> 00:48:24,500
for the Forgiveness that you've 
given to us through the blood of

948
00:48:24,500 --> 00:48:26,600
Jesus. 
Sins in the past. 

949
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,100
Our sins in the present. 
Our sins in the future. 

950
00:48:29,100 --> 00:48:32,000
We're all taking care of that 
day, on the cross, but still we,

951
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,500
repent of our sins. 
Lord, we turn from it. 

952
00:48:35,100 --> 00:48:36,900
God protect us from that 
Temptation. 

953
00:48:36,900 --> 00:48:39,700
Deliver Us from all of the evil 
we want to live for your 

954
00:48:39,700 --> 00:48:41,700
kingdom. 
Your will and your glory. 

955
00:48:42,900 --> 00:48:45,500
God reveal, whatever is lacking 
in us. 

956
00:48:45,900 --> 00:48:49,600
Wherever our love has been cold.
It's our temptation to look at 

957
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,200
the specifics. 
I got to stop this. 

958
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,500
I got to stop that. 
I gotta stop this but you 

959
00:48:53,500 --> 00:48:55,200
started it all off on the right 
foot. 

960
00:48:55,700 --> 00:48:58,900
Be an imitator of your father 
because you are a dearly beloved

961
00:48:58,900 --> 00:49:02,400
child. 
So for those of you who are not 

962
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,100
yet a dearly beloved child, if 
you don't yet know and walk with

963
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:07,400
the father know that he really 
does love you. 

964
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,900
You said, I am a sexual idolator
I've lived sexually immoral 

965
00:49:12,900 --> 00:49:15,100
lifestyle. 
I'm living in one now. 

966
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:19,900
Perhaps, God's not intimidated, 
the invitation is not just stop 

967
00:49:19,900 --> 00:49:21,800
your sin. 
The invitation is come to the 

968
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,200
cross. 
And yes, also turn from all 

969
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,900
kinds of sin. 
This is just one of a million. 

970
00:49:27,700 --> 00:49:29,900
This isn't the only thing that 
can keep me out of heaven. 

971
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:34,400
Ultimately, what keeps me out of
Heaven is not bending my knee 

972
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,100
and submitting to the Lord Jesus
Christ. 

973
00:49:36,700 --> 00:49:40,600
God has a way of dealing with 
your sin and his name is Jesus. 

974
00:49:41,700 --> 00:49:45,600
It's not punishing you. 
I thought we had to burn for all

975
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,400
eternity. 
That's only for those who reject

976
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,400
the Lord Jesus Christ, and don't
respond to the grace of God. 

977
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:55,800
So you can call upon the name of
the Lord and be saved in true, 

978
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:59,200
humility and faithfulness. 
I encourage you to do that. 

979
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,700
If you've got questions about 
that, if you want help with 

980
00:50:02,700 --> 00:50:05,400
that, if you're saying man, I 
feel like I'm at the door, but I

981
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,700
don't know how to get inside. 
You can talk to me or any other 

982
00:50:08,700 --> 00:50:11,300
believer that, you know, here in
the church, we would love to 

983
00:50:11,300 --> 00:50:14,200
walk with you to pray with you 
to encourage you. 

984
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,100
You won't say a thing that will 
surprises are shocked us. 

985
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,100
And we will be able to walk with
you together towards his kingdom

986
00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:23,700
best. 
Lord. 

987
00:50:23,700 --> 00:50:25,800
We love you, we thank you for 
your word. 

988
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,200
We thank you for this day and we
thank you for the promise of 

989
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,500
love and faithfulness that 
you've shown us through Christ. 

990
00:50:31,700 --> 00:50:34,700
The pleasing Aroma who gave 
himself for us all. 

991
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,500
Now, the Lord bless you and keep
you the Lord, make his face 

992
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:40,400

upon you and give you great. 

994

Peace in Jesus name. 
Amen.

00:50:23,500 --> 00:50:25,000
Lord. 
We love you, we thank you for 

996
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,100
your word. 
We thank you for this day and we

997

thank you for the promise of 
love and faithfulness that 

998

you've shown us through Christ. 
The pleasing Aroma who gave 

999
00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:36,800
himself for us all. 
Now, the Lord bless you and keep

1000
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,500

shine down upon you and be

upon you and give you great.

00:50:46,100 --> 00:50:46,700
Amen.
