<v Speaker 2>His grace runs deep.

00:02:10.688 --> 00:02:20.174

00:05:40.463 --> 00:05:40.704

00:07:14.089 --> 00:07:28.675
<v Speaker 2>When tempted, I will turn to Thee lest I live in vain.

00:07:33.901 --> 00:07:35.107
<v Speaker 1>Amen, please be seated.

00:07:40.283 --> 00:07:40.745
<v Speaker 5>Good morning.

00:07:40.745 --> 00:07:59.954
<v Speaker 5>Today's scripture reading comes from Romans 12, verses 1 to 2.

00:07:59.954 --> 00:08:03.677
<v Speaker 5>Pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

00:08:03.677 --> 00:08:09.851
<v Speaker 5>Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is his good, pleasing and perfect will.

00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:13.384
<v Speaker 4>Speaking with the word of prayer.

00:08:13.384 --> 00:08:15.348
<v Speaker 4>God, we thank you so much for this day.

00:08:15.348 --> 00:08:20.129
<v Speaker 4>God, we thank you for this time together that we can get together as family to celebrate and to worship you.

00:08:20.129 --> 00:08:22.103
<v Speaker 4>God, we're thankful for who you are.

00:08:22.103 --> 00:08:28.269
<v Speaker 4>God, we're thankful for your son and the example that he set for us and the love that you showed us through him.

00:08:28.269 --> 00:08:31.946
<v Speaker 4>God, we're thankful for the spirit and the way that it works in our life.

00:08:31.946 --> 00:08:41.544
<v Speaker 4>God, I pray that you'll be with us this morning as we start to look at patterns and things that have happened over the years and things that you know that are going to happen.

00:08:41.544 --> 00:08:49.812
<v Speaker 4>God, we just pray that you'll open up our hearts and our hearts and our eyes and our ears to the things that you want us to know, and it's in Jesus' name that we pray.

00:08:49.812 --> 00:08:52.785
<v Speaker 4>Amen, all right, good morning.

00:08:54.309 --> 00:08:55.633
<v Speaker 4>We are starting a new series.

00:08:55.633 --> 00:08:59.942
<v Speaker 4>This week we are done with the gift and talking about the Holy Spirit.

00:08:59.942 --> 00:09:05.573
<v Speaker 4>We're going to transition to the idea of patterns and looking and finding patterns.

00:09:05.573 --> 00:09:18.202
<v Speaker 4>Particularly in Romans, chapter 12, we see a pattern that unfolds, that has been happening for generations and generations, and so we're going to begin that conversation this morning and then hopefully, next week.

00:09:18.202 --> 00:09:35.519
<v Speaker 4>Jeff and I will share with you how to identify healthy patterns, how to identify unhealthy patterns, how to create healthy patterns, how to maybe get out of an unhealthy pattern that you're in, and so hopefully, if we can both get healthy enough to do that, we'll do that next week, but this week we're going to look at patterns.

00:09:35.620 --> 00:09:36.783
<v Speaker 4>So I have a quiz for you.

00:09:36.783 --> 00:09:38.447
<v Speaker 4>We're going to have a quiz this morning.

00:09:38.447 --> 00:09:41.423
<v Speaker 4>You have five blanks there on your outline for the five questions.

00:09:41.423 --> 00:09:44.272
<v Speaker 4>We'll put up there and then we'll play a game in just a second.

00:09:44.272 --> 00:09:47.360
<v Speaker 4>Your outline for the five questions we'll put up there and then we'll play a game in just a second.

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.360
<v Speaker 4>So here we go.

00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:50.822
<v Speaker 4>That's very small.

00:09:50.822 --> 00:09:51.222
<v Speaker 4>I'll read it to you.

00:09:51.222 --> 00:09:53.769
<v Speaker 4>It says which figure A through F there at the bottom belongs in the bottom right box.

00:09:53.769 --> 00:10:02.469
<v Speaker 4>So, based off of the things that you see, what next image should appear in that bottom right box?

00:10:02.469 --> 00:10:05.813
<v Speaker 4>So you can go ahead and fill that out.

00:10:05.833 --> 00:10:16.567
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going to give you the answer just yet, so take a few seconds, find a screen closest to you that you can see that and tell them right on their paper.

00:10:16.567 --> 00:10:17.730
<v Speaker 4>There they are labeled.

00:10:17.730 --> 00:10:18.913
<v Speaker 4>It's really hard to see.

00:10:18.913 --> 00:10:23.625
<v Speaker 4>I'll do this so that we don't get anybody confused.

00:10:23.625 --> 00:10:24.749
<v Speaker 4>They are labeled.

00:10:24.808 --> 00:10:25.551
<v Speaker 4>This is number.

00:10:25.551 --> 00:10:26.552
<v Speaker 4>It's multiple choice.

00:10:26.552 --> 00:10:31.471
<v Speaker 4>This is A, b, c, d, e, f.

00:10:31.471 --> 00:10:33.657
<v Speaker 4>Everybody got it All right.

00:10:33.657 --> 00:10:35.803
<v Speaker 4>Everybody locked in their answer.

00:10:35.803 --> 00:10:44.650
<v Speaker 4>Okay, number two, number two which number completes the pattern?

00:10:44.650 --> 00:10:50.499
<v Speaker 4>Which number completes the pattern?

00:10:50.499 --> 00:10:50.903
<v Speaker 4>No, multiple choice.

00:10:50.903 --> 00:10:56.171
<v Speaker 4>This time you just have to write in a number which number completes the pattern?

00:10:56.171 --> 00:10:57.143
<v Speaker 4>Jake, you got it.

00:10:57.143 --> 00:10:59.802
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you got it.

00:10:59.802 --> 00:11:04.363
<v Speaker 4>No, keep looking at it, it'll hit you.

00:11:04.363 --> 00:11:09.277
<v Speaker 4>What's the 21 in the middle?

00:11:09.277 --> 00:11:09.918
<v Speaker 4>What's the 21?

00:11:09.918 --> 00:11:10.220
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:12.708
<v Speaker 4>You tell me.

00:11:12.708 --> 00:11:16.868
<v Speaker 4>Rego said what's the 21 in the middle.

00:11:16.868 --> 00:11:18.731
<v Speaker 4>All right, hopefully you have an answer.

00:11:18.731 --> 00:11:24.038
<v Speaker 4>We're going to move on to the third one.

00:11:24.038 --> 00:11:25.842
<v Speaker 4>Again, another small one for you to see.

00:11:25.842 --> 00:11:28.870
<v Speaker 4>Your answers are the same multiple choice a, b, c.

00:11:28.870 --> 00:11:34.089
<v Speaker 4>Then you go to the second row d e, f, similar to the first one.

00:11:34.089 --> 00:11:36.394
<v Speaker 4>What is the answer?

00:11:36.394 --> 00:11:44.969
<v Speaker 4>Based off of the pattern of things that are happening previously, Ugh.

00:11:49.794 --> 00:11:50.855
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's an idiot test.

00:11:50.855 --> 00:11:56.298
<v Speaker 4>I'm just trying to get your brain working before the snow hits and you watch a bunch of TV.

00:11:56.298 --> 00:11:59.808
<v Speaker 4>I'm just going to identify some patterns here.

00:11:59.808 --> 00:12:00.350
<v Speaker 4>Everybody got it.

00:12:00.350 --> 00:12:01.965

00:14:00.442 --> 00:14:04.248
<v Speaker 4>My college row was holding up the number two.

00:14:04.908 --> 00:14:06.330
<v Speaker 4>Well, there, studies are going well.

00:14:06.330 --> 00:14:13.870
<v Speaker 4>Thirteen, thirteen, one plus two equals Three.

00:14:13.870 --> 00:14:16.184
<v Speaker 4>Five plus three equals Eight.

00:14:16.184 --> 00:14:18.410
<v Speaker 4>Eight plus five equals Thirteen.

00:14:18.410 --> 00:14:27.085
<v Speaker 4>All right, all right, multiple choice.

00:14:27.085 --> 00:14:28.269
<v Speaker 4>What was your answer?

00:14:28.269 --> 00:14:33.250
<v Speaker 4>B is the correct answer, congratulations.

00:14:33.250 --> 00:14:37.504
<v Speaker 4>That was on JMO's kindergarten homework last week.

00:14:37.504 --> 00:14:39.227
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm just kidding.

00:14:39.227 --> 00:14:42.153
<v Speaker 4>I'm just kidding, all right.

00:14:42.432 --> 00:14:45.503
<v Speaker 4>Missing time 1-11.

00:14:45.503 --> 00:14:45.844
<v Speaker 4>1-11.

00:14:45.844 --> 00:14:48.351
<v Speaker 4>1-11.

00:14:48.351 --> 00:14:53.225
<v Speaker 4>All right.

00:14:53.225 --> 00:15:06.582
<v Speaker 4>And last but not least, a, b or C Faith up front says the letter C.

00:15:06.582 --> 00:15:07.807
<v Speaker 4>That is correct.

00:15:07.807 --> 00:15:10.004
<v Speaker 4>Anybody get all five.

00:15:10.004 --> 00:15:12.971

<v Speaker 4>So, bryce, explain to them what you're doing.

<v Speaker 4>That's what he said, thank you.

00:16:30.610 --> 00:16:35.355
<v Speaker 4>No, he didn't get it.

00:16:35.355 --> 00:16:36.517
<v Speaker 4>He didn't get it.

00:16:36.517 --> 00:16:49.491
<v Speaker 4>No, he didn't get it here.

00:16:49.491 --> 00:16:50.294

<v Speaker 4>That right there was you guys figuring it out.

<v Speaker 4>Bryce is going to do it one more time so we can get to lunch for the snow gum.

00:18:21.029 --> 00:18:21.191
<v Speaker 1>Ready.

00:18:21.191 --> 00:18:24.315

<v Speaker 4>No, no, have a seat, macy, macy, you've got to try again.

00:18:43.321 --> 00:18:44.583
<v Speaker 3>All policemen have a seat?

00:18:44.623 --> 00:18:45.242
<v Speaker 4>No, no have a seat.

00:18:47.404 --> 00:18:48.286
<v Speaker 4>Josh, you're a goof.

00:18:48.286 --> 00:18:48.946
<v Speaker 4>Don't tell them.

00:18:48.946 --> 00:18:50.127
<v Speaker 4>Don't tell anybody.

00:18:50.127 --> 00:18:51.209
<v Speaker 4>Don't tell them.

00:18:51.209 --> 00:18:53.557
<v Speaker 4>They've just got to live with that for the rest of their life.

00:18:53.557 --> 00:19:02.858
<v Speaker 4>What Bryce was doing, macy, what Bryce was doing was saying repeat after me.

00:19:02.858 --> 00:19:07.278
<v Speaker 4>All policemen have big feet.

00:19:07.278 --> 00:19:09.643
<v Speaker 4>Do you get it now?

00:19:09.643 --> 00:19:12.077
<v Speaker 4>So what would you do if I had you back up here now?

00:19:12.077 --> 00:19:22.996
<v Speaker 4>Bryce did that at our house over Christmas and I just looked at him like what are you doing?

00:19:22.996 --> 00:19:27.674
<v Speaker 4>Get out of my house, drove me nuts.

00:19:27.674 --> 00:19:29.993
<v Speaker 4>Then Mallory started doing it.

00:19:29.993 --> 00:19:30.797
<v Speaker 4>What are you doing?

00:19:30.797 --> 00:19:31.599
<v Speaker 4>I don't understand it.

00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.693
<v Speaker 4>I did not catch on.

00:19:35.439 --> 00:19:35.901
<v Speaker 4>Patterns.

00:19:35.901 --> 00:19:40.038
<v Speaker 4>We're going to talk about patterns over the next couple weeks and the idea of what a pattern is.

00:19:40.038 --> 00:19:46.638
<v Speaker 4>The definition of a pattern is it is a repeated design or a frequent incident.

00:19:46.638 --> 00:19:51.530
<v Speaker 4>It is used in art, it is used in music, it is used in your everyday life.

00:19:51.530 --> 00:19:53.133
<v Speaker 4>You have patterns that you follow.

00:19:53.133 --> 00:20:00.565
<v Speaker 4>Each and every morning, I roll out of the bed to the right side of the bed, I take about 15 steps to the coffee maker and I pour the coffee in.

00:20:00.565 --> 00:20:04.499
<v Speaker 4>I get the water poured in and that's the first pattern I complete of my day.

00:20:04.499 --> 00:20:17.798
<v Speaker 4>You have patterns, you have rhythms that you complete on a daily basis that you're going to follow, and today we're going to be looking in Romans, chapter 12, verses 1 and 2, the verse that Steeler read for us this morning.

00:20:17.798 --> 00:20:21.770
<v Speaker 4>And you have patterns that you do, that you know you do.

00:20:21.770 --> 00:20:23.875
<v Speaker 4>You have patterns that you don't know, that you do.

00:20:23.875 --> 00:20:32.836
<v Speaker 4>And, in fact, in Romans, paul is going to tell us a pattern that has been happening for years and years and years, and so we're going to look at it one more time there on our screen.

00:20:32.836 --> 00:20:42.931
<v Speaker 4>Romans 12, 1 through 2, it says Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.

00:20:42.931 --> 00:20:44.654
<v Speaker 4>This is true and proper worship.

00:20:44.654 --> 00:20:49.411
<v Speaker 4>Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

00:20:49.411 --> 00:20:55.934
<v Speaker 4>Then you will be able to test andves what God's will is, his good, pleasing and perfect will.

00:20:58.576 --> 00:21:02.839
<v Speaker 4>In the book of Romans, paul is writing to a group of people in Rome.

00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:04.820
<v Speaker 4>He's writing to Christians.

00:21:04.820 --> 00:21:07.502
<v Speaker 4>He's writing to people like you and I, to believers.

00:21:07.502 --> 00:21:12.546
<v Speaker 4>There's Jews and there's Gentiles, and he's writing to them having never met them.

00:21:12.546 --> 00:21:15.248
<v Speaker 4>This is one of the different times in Scripture.

00:21:15.248 --> 00:21:19.174
<v Speaker 4>Usually Paul is writing to a group of people that he's met.

00:21:19.174 --> 00:21:20.838
<v Speaker 4>He has not met the people in Rome yet.

00:21:20.838 --> 00:21:21.942
<v Speaker 4>He's been trying to get there.

00:21:21.942 --> 00:21:22.852
<v Speaker 4>He wants to get there.

00:21:22.852 --> 00:21:27.611
<v Speaker 4>In fact, he tells us in the book of Romans I have a desire to be with you One day.

00:21:27.611 --> 00:21:28.653
<v Speaker 4>I hope to get there.

00:21:28.653 --> 00:21:32.142
<v Speaker 4>I haven't got there yet, but here's what I want you to know.

00:21:36.549 --> 00:21:42.532
<v Speaker 4>There's something, as Christians and as believers, you need to know, and so, in order for us to fully understand what takes place in Romans 12, we have to understand what's happened beforehand.

00:21:42.532 --> 00:21:45.799
<v Speaker 4>We have to understand chapters 1 through 11.

00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:47.442
<v Speaker 4>And so we're going to do that today.

00:21:47.442 --> 00:21:50.477
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so hopefully we're out by 5 30 before the snow hits.

00:21:50.477 --> 00:21:53.271
<v Speaker 4>Now we're going to do some quick summaries today.

00:21:53.271 --> 00:21:55.977
<v Speaker 4>Okay, romans, chapter 1 through 4.

00:21:56.037 --> 00:22:04.990
<v Speaker 4>If we could just summarize that in Josh's words, it would just say that the gospel tells us that God's righteousness and saving justice is available for everyone.

00:22:04.990 --> 00:22:11.394
<v Speaker 4>Josh would just say it this way God's love is for you, and it's for the person next to you, and it's for the person next to you.

00:22:11.394 --> 00:22:12.259
<v Speaker 4>It's for everybody.

00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:13.491
<v Speaker 4>And you have to understand.

00:22:13.491 --> 00:22:25.221
<v Speaker 4>What's taking place in Rome is that there's Jews and Gentiles, and so Paul just says, right from the beginning I want you to understand that the love that God has for you is not only just for you, but it's for your neighbor as well.

00:22:25.221 --> 00:22:26.413
<v Speaker 4>Does that make sense?

00:22:26.413 --> 00:22:28.967
<v Speaker 4>Hopefully that's nothing earth-shaking for you this morning.

00:22:28.967 --> 00:22:31.494
<v Speaker 4>You understand and know that God's love is designed for you.

00:22:31.494 --> 00:22:32.517
<v Speaker 4>Everybody got it.

00:22:33.358 --> 00:22:39.193
<v Speaker 4>We get verses like Romans 1, verse 16, where it says I am not ashamed of the good news about Christ.

00:22:39.193 --> 00:22:43.663
<v Speaker 4>It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes.

00:22:43.663 --> 00:22:46.112
<v Speaker 4>We fast forward.

00:22:46.112 --> 00:22:48.136
<v Speaker 4>Go to Romans 5 through 8.

00:22:48.136 --> 00:22:55.277
<v Speaker 4>The summary would be Jesus, the Spirit and God's love set us free from sin and death.

00:22:55.277 --> 00:23:09.115
<v Speaker 4>Paul writes to them and tells them hey, everybody sinned, everybody's fallen short, everybody's made mistakes, but Jesus, the Spirit and God's love set you free from sin and death.

00:23:09.115 --> 00:23:19.416
<v Speaker 4>And so hopefully you understand that this morning that God does in fact love you, that love is for you and that love sets you free from the shame and guilt of sin.

00:23:19.416 --> 00:23:20.741
<v Speaker 4>Does that make sense?

00:23:21.423 --> 00:23:26.967
<v Speaker 4>So Paul is writing to this group of people and he's saying I want you to understand the love that God has for you.

00:23:26.967 --> 00:23:28.570
<v Speaker 4>I want you to understand what that love does.

00:23:28.570 --> 00:23:31.933
<v Speaker 4>Okay, then we get chapters 9 through 11.

00:23:31.933 --> 00:23:35.998
<v Speaker 4>Just because people say no to Jesus 9 through 11.

00:23:35.998 --> 00:23:39.500
<v Speaker 4>Just because people say no to Jesus, it doesn't change God's faithfulness.

00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:51.013
<v Speaker 4>And so, yes, there's going to be people in this life that choose God, and when they choose God, god is faithful, he's going to do what he says he's going to do.

00:23:51.013 --> 00:23:52.237
<v Speaker 4>And there are people that's going to say no to God.

00:23:52.237 --> 00:23:52.597
<v Speaker 4>And guess what?

00:23:52.597 --> 00:23:56.797
<v Speaker 4>God is still faithful, he's still there, he's still loving, just as he always has been.

00:23:56.797 --> 00:24:03.423
<v Speaker 4>And so that's your quick summaries this morning of just what's happened up until this point.

00:24:03.423 --> 00:24:09.903
<v Speaker 4>I was reading through this this week and so I was trying to understand Romans a little bit more.

00:24:11.250 --> 00:24:19.482
<v Speaker 4>You discover that there's a pattern that's taken place ever since Genesis, chapter 3, until this very moment, at whatever time.

00:24:19.482 --> 00:24:21.226
<v Speaker 4>It is 1123.

00:24:21.226 --> 00:24:23.376
<v Speaker 4>There's a common pattern that happens with people.

00:24:23.376 --> 00:24:25.653
<v Speaker 4>Here's what it is God is love.

00:24:25.653 --> 00:24:27.157
<v Speaker 4>We understand that.

00:24:27.157 --> 00:24:28.894
<v Speaker 4>We know that From the very beginning.

00:24:28.894 --> 00:24:34.321
<v Speaker 4>You see that Sometimes it's hard in the Old Testament to understand that God's loving, but he is.

00:24:34.569 --> 00:24:44.714
<v Speaker 4>If you read context and understand what he's doing, god is love, and what we learn from the very beginning is that we can either accept that or we can what Reject it.

00:24:44.714 --> 00:24:45.497
<v Speaker 4>That's the pattern.

00:24:45.497 --> 00:24:56.278
<v Speaker 4>There is an option God's love, and you can either accept it or you can reject it, and from the beginning of time, there's been people that accept it and there's been people that reject it.

00:24:56.278 --> 00:25:02.780
<v Speaker 4>There's people that accept it for a little while and then, when life gets a little harder, they do what they reject it.

00:25:02.780 --> 00:25:11.761
<v Speaker 4>There are some people in your life and in this world that reject it for many, many years and then eventually, god works in such a way that they finally accept it.

00:25:11.761 --> 00:25:19.782
<v Speaker 4>It's a pattern that continually happens, but what we have to understand is, throughout the pattern, even if it's accepted or rejected, god stays the same.

00:25:19.782 --> 00:25:25.582
<v Speaker 4>The God that loves you because you accept his love is the same God that loves the person that rejects it.

00:25:25.582 --> 00:25:27.797
<v Speaker 4>That make sense, okay.

00:25:29.410 --> 00:25:30.414
<v Speaker 4>So I was reading through.

00:25:30.414 --> 00:25:37.020
<v Speaker 4>I had this realization, this moment.

00:25:37.020 --> 00:25:45.269
<v Speaker 4>You know, sometimes, god, you read Scripture over and over and you think you got it, and then, out of nowhere, god just says yeah, and boom, hopefully you've had those moments.

00:25:45.269 --> 00:25:58.916
<v Speaker 4>So, reading through this and I thought this is crazy, paul is writing to a group of people he does not know, he's never interacted with them, and he says I know that you've experienced God's love.

00:25:58.916 --> 00:26:06.493
<v Speaker 4>He says things throughout Romans like you were created, you are mine, you're my masterpiece.

00:26:06.493 --> 00:26:08.357
<v Speaker 4>You are wonderfully created.

00:26:08.357 --> 00:26:14.777
<v Speaker 4>He says I know you're going to mess up, though I know you're going to fall short.

00:26:14.777 --> 00:26:18.544
<v Speaker 4>I know you're going to try to do good and end up doing bad.

00:26:18.544 --> 00:26:23.499
<v Speaker 4>But he keeps writing and he says but I love you so much.

00:26:23.499 --> 00:26:29.400
<v Speaker 4>I want our relationship to be mended, I want nothing to separate us.

00:26:30.329 --> 00:26:43.478
<v Speaker 4>So I sent my son to not only teach you, but to show you how to interact with other people, to show you how to love, to show you how to care and to show you how to forgive.

00:26:43.478 --> 00:26:47.590
<v Speaker 4>And he's died for your deepest and darkest sin.

00:26:47.590 --> 00:26:58.522
<v Speaker 4>And there's going to be moments where you don't choose him, going to be moments where you don't choose him, but I still love you.

00:26:58.522 --> 00:27:01.165
<v Speaker 4>That's the message of Romans.

00:27:01.165 --> 00:27:06.679
<v Speaker 4>The world is going to make you stumble, it's going to entice you, it's going to make things look really exciting and you're going to choose it.

00:27:06.679 --> 00:27:08.371
<v Speaker 4>You're going to choose the things of this world.

00:27:08.371 --> 00:27:19.938
<v Speaker 4>You're going to fall, you're going to make things in your life, lord, that aren't supposed to be, but God is still God, god is still good, god still loves you and God has more to offer.

00:27:19.938 --> 00:27:23.103
<v Speaker 4>And so this, it just made me think this week.

00:27:23.103 --> 00:27:28.952
<v Speaker 4>God knows what we're going to do, and he still did everything he did.

00:27:28.952 --> 00:27:35.874
<v Speaker 4>God knows that I'm going to fall into this pattern of choosing the world, but he still says I'm sending Jesus for you.

00:27:35.874 --> 00:27:45.240
<v Speaker 4>God knows that there's going to be moments where I'm really faithful to him and I try to live my best life for God, and then there's going to be moments where I choose everything selfishly and he says but I still love you.

00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:52.612
<v Speaker 4>And Paul is writing this to a group of people he doesn't even know, because God knows that that's what we're going to do.

00:27:52.612 --> 00:27:54.155
<v Speaker 4>That's the human pattern.

00:27:54.155 --> 00:28:05.856
<v Speaker 4>We're going to choose things over him, but God said that's okay, I still love you, I still want to have a chance to mend this relationship, and so it's just one of those things that just kind of blew my mind this week.

00:28:05.856 --> 00:28:12.175
<v Speaker 4>God knows the pattern that we're going to fall into and he still says I still love you.

00:28:12.175 --> 00:28:13.853
<v Speaker 4>Hopefully that makes sense.

00:28:14.315 --> 00:28:21.592
<v Speaker 4>So we jump into Romans 12, though verses 1 through 2, 1 and 2.

00:28:21.592 --> 00:28:24.321
<v Speaker 4>We're just going to look at just a couple things that we can be made aware of as we talk about this pattern.

00:28:24.321 --> 00:28:26.409
<v Speaker 4>The first one is this you have a choice, it says.

00:28:26.409 --> 00:28:28.932
<v Speaker 4>Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters.

00:28:28.932 --> 00:28:38.066
<v Speaker 4>He's preparing them, he's getting ready to say hey, you have a choice, so I'm going to urge you, I'm going to plead with you, brothers and sisters Choose God.

00:28:39.849 --> 00:28:41.155
<v Speaker 4>God has given us a choice.

00:28:41.155 --> 00:28:50.176
<v Speaker 4>God has given us free will, and the world's going to want you to live this way, the world's going to want you to operate this way, but I want you to know that you don't have to.

00:28:50.176 --> 00:28:51.536
<v Speaker 4>There's another way that you can live.

00:28:51.536 --> 00:28:59.996
<v Speaker 4>I've had people ask me before well, why does God give us free will if he's going to make, if he knows we're going to mess up?

00:28:59.996 --> 00:29:03.770
<v Speaker 4>Well, if God wanted robots, he would have created robots, right.

00:29:03.770 --> 00:29:05.935
<v Speaker 4>But instead he wants genuine love.

00:29:05.935 --> 00:29:10.695
<v Speaker 4>He doesn't want a fabricated love, and so he gives us free will so that I can choose to love him.

00:29:10.695 --> 00:29:17.634
<v Speaker 4>If it was fake love, it wouldn't feel very good, and so I think that's what God does.

00:29:17.634 --> 00:29:20.862
<v Speaker 4>And so Paul reminds us that we don't have to follow the crowd.

00:29:20.862 --> 00:29:22.856
<v Speaker 4>The crowd, the world is going to go one direction.

00:29:22.856 --> 00:29:25.696
<v Speaker 4>We don't have to follow it, but we like to follow crowds, don't we?

00:29:26.650 --> 00:29:31.659
<v Speaker 4>We were at a basketball game a couple weeks ago, and our kids spend way too much time at Meadowbrook.

00:29:31.659 --> 00:29:35.019
<v Speaker 4>Morgan is a gym teacher there and she's a coach there.

00:29:35.019 --> 00:29:36.520
<v Speaker 4>And at Meadowbrook, morgan is the gym teacher there and she's a coach there.

00:29:36.520 --> 00:29:37.201
<v Speaker 4>And so we are there way too much.

00:29:37.201 --> 00:29:39.103
<v Speaker 4>And so when you're somewhere, a lot, you notice it.

00:29:39.103 --> 00:29:40.644
<v Speaker 4>Here, I know you notice it.

00:29:40.644 --> 00:29:42.265
<v Speaker 4>My kids are here too much.

00:29:42.265 --> 00:29:44.145
<v Speaker 4>And so guess what my kids think?

00:29:44.145 --> 00:29:46.667
<v Speaker 4>They think this is their playground, okay.

00:29:46.667 --> 00:29:48.311
<v Speaker 4>So they run around like crazy in here.

00:29:48.311 --> 00:29:52.077
<v Speaker 4>They do the same thing at Meadowbrook, okay.

00:29:52.077 --> 00:30:01.681
<v Speaker 4>And so when we go to ball games now they want to go run around because Jamison's six, now he's pretty much a teenager, and so he thinks he can do everything on his own.

00:30:01.681 --> 00:30:13.723
<v Speaker 4>And so he he no longer wants to sit with dad at the basketball game, he doesn't want to sit with mom, he wants to be with his friends who are also six years old and running aimlessly around the gymnasium.

00:30:14.246 --> 00:30:18.214
<v Speaker 4>And so we're at the basketball game and Jameson comes over and he says dad, I want to get popcorn.

00:30:18.214 --> 00:30:20.621
<v Speaker 4>Can I please, can I get popcorn?

00:30:20.621 --> 00:30:21.202
<v Speaker 4>Can I get popcorn?

00:30:21.202 --> 00:30:22.653
<v Speaker 4>They started with candy.

00:30:22.653 --> 00:30:29.114
<v Speaker 4>I said no, and so then he moves to the more reasonable option he just wants something, and so he gets popcorn.

00:30:29.114 --> 00:30:31.959
<v Speaker 4>He goes over with his friends.

00:30:31.959 --> 00:30:34.903
<v Speaker 4>We watch him and his friends.

00:30:34.903 --> 00:30:40.898
<v Speaker 4>We watch one of his friends throw a piece of popcorn and so we kind of get into parent mode.

00:30:40.898 --> 00:30:43.432
<v Speaker 4>Morgan and I like kind of sit up and we get into parent mode.

00:30:43.432 --> 00:30:45.780
<v Speaker 4>What's going to happen next, okay?

00:30:45.780 --> 00:30:55.778
<v Speaker 4>So eventually Jameson wanders back over and we look at Jameson and we say, jameson, you are not going to throw popcorn.

00:30:55.778 --> 00:31:00.005
<v Speaker 4>Okay, you're not going to do that, you're not going to throw the popcorn.

00:31:00.005 --> 00:31:01.105
<v Speaker 4>Okay, dad.

00:31:01.105 --> 00:31:05.336
<v Speaker 4>Okay, dad Goes back over and he chooses the best seat in the house.

00:31:05.356 --> 00:31:08.923
<v Speaker 4>He goes clear up on the opposite side of the bleachers and goes up into the radio booth.

00:31:08.923 --> 00:31:17.606
<v Speaker 4>So you have about four six-year-olds just hanging out in the little radio booth with their bag of popcorn.

00:31:17.606 --> 00:31:25.574
<v Speaker 4>We watch one of the kids take the popcorn and go yeah, they hit Rigo right in the back of the head.

00:31:25.574 --> 00:31:26.797
<v Speaker 4>And so I go into dad mode.

00:31:26.797 --> 00:31:39.423
<v Speaker 4>I stand up, I'm clear across the gym, just stand up and I'm trying to give him the look, but he doesn't know that I'm doing the look.

00:31:39.423 --> 00:31:55.376
<v Speaker 4>So then Jameson grabs a handful of popcorn and he goes and I'm just going don't do it, don't do it.

00:31:55.376 --> 00:32:04.884
<v Speaker 4>Guess what he does?

00:32:04.884 --> 00:32:06.568
<v Speaker 4>Puts it back in the back.

00:32:06.568 --> 00:32:06.788
<v Speaker 4>No, he goes.

00:32:06.788 --> 00:32:12.374
<v Speaker 4>So now full dad mode All the way down the bleachers across the baseline.

00:32:12.374 --> 00:32:14.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going out in the hallway, I'm going right across the baseline.

00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:15.721
<v Speaker 4>I'm standing at the bottom of the bleachers.

00:32:15.741 --> 00:32:18.689
<v Speaker 4>He locks, we lock eyes.

00:32:18.689 --> 00:32:18.869
<v Speaker 4>I go.

00:32:18.869 --> 00:32:23.715
<v Speaker 4>He immediately he's doing that thing.

00:32:23.715 --> 00:32:31.277
<v Speaker 4>Like what did you just do?

00:32:31.277 --> 00:32:33.131
<v Speaker 4>Guess what?

00:32:33.131 --> 00:32:35.955
<v Speaker 4>His answer was Nothing.

00:32:35.955 --> 00:32:40.765
<v Speaker 4>No, that would have been what we all do when we get busted.

00:32:40.765 --> 00:32:48.671
<v Speaker 4>We say, well, everybody else was doing it.

00:32:48.671 --> 00:32:49.471
<v Speaker 4>Good, dad, everybody else was doing it.

00:32:49.471 --> 00:32:57.122
<v Speaker 4>Yes, son, but I specifically looked you in the eyes and I said you're not going to do that.

00:32:57.122 --> 00:33:00.266
<v Speaker 4>You have a choice to not do it.

00:33:00.266 --> 00:33:07.150
<v Speaker 4>Guess where.

00:33:07.150 --> 00:33:08.893
<v Speaker 4>He sat the rest of the game With me for like three minutes and then we let him go back.

00:33:08.913 --> 00:33:09.934
<v Speaker 4>Such strict parents.

00:33:09.934 --> 00:33:14.041
<v Speaker 4>My point is this we have a choice.

00:33:14.041 --> 00:33:15.824
<v Speaker 4>Paul is telling us you have a choice.

00:33:15.824 --> 00:33:16.894
<v Speaker 4>The world's going to entice you.

00:33:16.894 --> 00:33:18.845
<v Speaker 4>He's going to want you to do all these different things.

00:33:18.845 --> 00:33:19.690
<v Speaker 4>You have a choice.

00:33:19.690 --> 00:33:21.173
<v Speaker 4>But it is easy.

00:33:21.173 --> 00:33:23.960
<v Speaker 4>It is easy to follow the pattern of the world.

00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:25.750
<v Speaker 4>It's real easy to just follow the crowd.

00:33:25.750 --> 00:33:31.492
<v Speaker 4>Jameson knew he wasn't supposed to throw the popcorn, but everybody else started to do it and he thought, man, that kind of looks fun.

00:33:31.492 --> 00:33:35.398
<v Speaker 4>And can I really get it clear to the bottom to hit Riggo in the back of his head.

00:33:35.398 --> 00:33:37.863
<v Speaker 4>He didn't.

00:33:37.863 --> 00:33:38.884
<v Speaker 4>He got it about six rows.

00:33:38.884 --> 00:33:40.951
<v Speaker 4>It almost hit a lady.

00:33:42.853 --> 00:33:47.537
<v Speaker 4>Paul says just choose God.

00:33:47.537 --> 00:33:51.260
<v Speaker 4>I'm pleading with you, choose God, choose to follow God, and here's why you can choose him.

00:33:51.260 --> 00:33:57.446
<v Speaker 4>Remember what God has done In view of God's mercy is how the passage continues to go.

00:33:57.446 --> 00:34:18.295
<v Speaker 4>I'm urging you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, here's what Paul has told us about God up to this point, paul has told us that we have justification from guilt and the penalty of sin.

00:34:18.295 --> 00:34:19.599
<v Speaker 4>Because of God, because of what God's love has done for us.

00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:26.878
<v Speaker 4>We have freedom from guilt and sin, that we have been adopted in Jesus, that our identification is in Christ.

00:34:26.878 --> 00:34:30.612
<v Speaker 4>My identity is not in who I am, but it is in who Jesus is.

00:34:30.612 --> 00:34:34.938
<v Speaker 4>We've been placed under grace, not the law.

00:34:34.938 --> 00:34:39.585
<v Speaker 4>We've been given the Holy Spirit to live within us.

00:34:39.585 --> 00:34:43.360
<v Speaker 4>We've been promised help in affliction.

00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:48.541
<v Speaker 4>We've been told over and over again that there's coming glory when Jesus returns.

00:34:49.510 --> 00:34:54.998
<v Speaker 4>And in Romans we get the verse that says there is absolutely nothing that can separate us from the love of God.

00:34:54.998 --> 00:34:55.836
<v Speaker 4>And so that is what God has told.

00:34:55.836 --> 00:35:04.224
<v Speaker 4>That can separate us from the love of God, and so that is what God has told us in showing us mercy, and that we can be confident in God's continued faithfulness.

00:35:04.224 --> 00:35:07.838
<v Speaker 4>This is what Paul is writing to a group of Christians that he's never met.

00:35:07.838 --> 00:35:14.561
<v Speaker 4>He said this is just like a general thing that God has done for all people.

00:35:14.561 --> 00:35:18.817
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know you, but I want you to know that nothing can separate you from the love of God.

00:35:18.817 --> 00:35:21.954
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know you, but I want you to know that God is faithful.

00:35:21.954 --> 00:35:28.777
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know you, but I want you to know that you don't have to live with shame and guilt, but you can be free in Christ.

00:35:28.777 --> 00:35:36.222
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know you, I don't have to know your name, because you're my brother in Christ, because that's our identity.

00:35:37.070 --> 00:35:43.898
<v Speaker 4>That's what Paul is saying, and so this is what he tells us, and that doesn't even scratch the surface of what God has done in your individual life.

00:35:43.898 --> 00:35:48.952
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't scratch the surface of what God has gotten you through and helped you overcome.

00:35:48.952 --> 00:35:59.356
<v Speaker 4>And so those mercies, when we understand them and we look at those mercies, they have persuasive power over our own will.

00:35:59.356 --> 00:36:02.978
<v Speaker 4>When I remember what God has done for me, guess what I want to do.

00:36:02.978 --> 00:36:10.123
<v Speaker 4>I want to live for God, but the moment that I stop thinking about what God is doing, who do I start thinking about?

00:36:10.123 --> 00:36:11.704
<v Speaker 4>That's the general pattern.

00:36:11.704 --> 00:36:12.784
<v Speaker 4>That's what Paul is writing about.

00:36:12.784 --> 00:36:14.144
<v Speaker 4>You're going to start thinking about yourself.

00:36:14.885 --> 00:36:17.646
<v Speaker 4>Number three your life is worship, he goes on to tell us.

00:36:17.646 --> 00:36:28.697
<v Speaker 4>I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, because of what God has done for you, offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.

00:36:28.697 --> 00:36:30.019
<v Speaker 4>This is your true and proper worship.

00:36:30.019 --> 00:36:38.103
<v Speaker 4>God wants you and everything that you do should bring glory to the Father.

00:36:38.103 --> 00:36:41.018
<v Speaker 4>Your purpose make disciples.

00:36:41.018 --> 00:36:43.775
<v Speaker 4>Your purpose to glorify the Father.

00:36:43.775 --> 00:36:45.239
<v Speaker 4>Your mission is to make disciples.

00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:46.222
<v Speaker 4>You've heard that for years.

00:36:46.222 --> 00:36:49.851
<v Speaker 4>You'll continue to hear that for years your life.

00:36:49.851 --> 00:36:54.282
<v Speaker 4>God can use it to point people to him.

00:36:56.210 --> 00:36:58.099
<v Speaker 4>There's a movie out right now on Netflix.

00:36:58.099 --> 00:37:03.597
<v Speaker 4>If you have nothing to do today, when that snow starts falling, there's a movie on Netflix called the Forge.

00:37:03.597 --> 00:37:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Has anybody seen it?

00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:07.396
<v Speaker 4>Okay, very good, it's a very good movie.

00:37:07.396 --> 00:37:08.139
<v Speaker 4>It's a great movie.

00:37:08.139 --> 00:37:09.001
<v Speaker 4>It's a phenomenal movie.

00:37:09.001 --> 00:37:14.840
<v Speaker 4>It's a Christian movie on Netflix and it's in the top 10 movies right now in America on Netflix, which is great.

00:37:21.956 --> 00:37:24.865
<v Speaker 4>It's a powerful story about how God works in a young man's life.

00:37:24.865 --> 00:37:32.181
<v Speaker 4>I won't ruin the whole movie for you, but I want you to understand that this young man is struggling with life and he finds a relationship with Christ through somebody that disciples him.

00:37:32.181 --> 00:37:45.324
<v Speaker 4>And there's a moment in the movie where he decides that he wants to live his life for God and he wants nothing to get in the way.

00:37:45.324 --> 00:37:47.974
<v Speaker 4>And he's reading you watch the movie.

00:37:47.974 --> 00:37:52.112
<v Speaker 4>He's in his bedroom and he's studying Psalm 119, verse 11.

00:37:52.112 --> 00:37:57.804
<v Speaker 4>And it says this it says I have hidden your Word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

00:37:57.804 --> 00:38:05.797
<v Speaker 4>And then he starts praying and he says Lord, remove anything that gets in my way of serving you.

00:38:05.797 --> 00:38:17.898
<v Speaker 4>And all of a sudden his head turns to his video game system and he starts going oh please, god, is there anything else you could take away?

00:38:17.898 --> 00:38:28.193
<v Speaker 4>But then guess what he does Boxes that video game system up, puts it on the table and gets rid of it, because he has in his heart.

00:38:28.193 --> 00:38:31.159
<v Speaker 4>He's decided that God, in all of God's mercy.

00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:36.240
<v Speaker 4>All I want to do is serve him and if anything's going to get in the way, it's got to go.

00:38:36.240 --> 00:38:39.161
<v Speaker 4>It's a powerful movie, it's a phenomenal movie.

00:38:39.161 --> 00:38:40.315
<v Speaker 4>Go home and watch it.

00:38:40.315 --> 00:38:40.956
<v Speaker 4>It's a great thing.

00:38:40.956 --> 00:38:43.840
<v Speaker 4>But you know what?

00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:45.467
<v Speaker 4>I'm too selfish to pray that way.

00:38:45.467 --> 00:38:52.074
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes I don't know if I have the confidence to say, hey, god, take everything that gets in the way.

00:38:52.074 --> 00:39:00.393
<v Speaker 4>But if I view my life as a offering to God, then I better start praying that.

00:39:02.561 --> 00:39:09.693
<v Speaker 4>Number four the world wants you to Do not conform to the pattern of this world.

00:39:09.693 --> 00:39:11.601
<v Speaker 4>God wants you to choose him.

00:39:11.601 --> 00:39:15.188
<v Speaker 4>God has a great life planned for you.

00:39:15.188 --> 00:39:16.431
<v Speaker 4>He's got a great plan for you.

00:39:16.431 --> 00:39:17.052
<v Speaker 4>But guess what?

00:39:17.052 --> 00:39:21.804
<v Speaker 4>The world and Satan have a desire for you as well.

00:39:21.804 --> 00:39:25.231
<v Speaker 4>Satan has not quit and he won't quit.

00:39:25.231 --> 00:39:30.422
<v Speaker 4>And Satan will use anything and everything to get to you.

00:39:30.422 --> 00:39:36.469
<v Speaker 4>He will use your family, if he can.

00:39:36.469 --> 00:39:39.994
<v Speaker 4>He will use your work and frustrations at work.

00:39:39.994 --> 00:39:44.726
<v Speaker 4>He will use sports to get your attention and captivate you and try to get your attention.

00:39:44.726 --> 00:39:46.510
<v Speaker 4>He will use music and movies.

00:39:46.510 --> 00:39:48.963
<v Speaker 4>He will use social media.

00:39:48.963 --> 00:39:52.920
<v Speaker 4>Satan is using all things to get your attention on him and not of God.

00:39:52.920 --> 00:40:00.135
<v Speaker 4>He will use bad service at a restaurant to get you all worked up so that you'll show the love of God to somebody.

00:40:00.135 --> 00:40:09.210
<v Speaker 4>He'll use a bad referee at a volleyball game To get you worked up so that you don't shine the light of God Somebody.

00:40:09.210 --> 00:40:11.666
<v Speaker 4>So we were at a volleyball game.

00:40:11.666 --> 00:40:15.246
<v Speaker 4>It's the district championship.

00:40:15.246 --> 00:40:18.047
<v Speaker 4>Matterbrook's playing at the district championship.

00:40:19.382 --> 00:40:22.545
<v Speaker 4>I got a lot of passion sometimes, especially for volleyball.

00:40:22.545 --> 00:40:33.768
<v Speaker 4>Our family puts a lot of time and energy into volleyball and so when it becomes tournament time I genuinely don't want it to end, because Morgan's worked all this time and I've wrestled the kids.

00:40:33.768 --> 00:40:37.965
<v Speaker 4>It just feels like you've invested in it and you want to see it be the best that it can.

00:40:37.965 --> 00:40:44.094
<v Speaker 4>And so we go to this tournament game and somehow, some way, I end up sitting right behind the head referee.

00:40:44.094 --> 00:40:51.045
<v Speaker 4>So the head referee's on the stand Sorry, dave, dave referees volleyball.

00:40:51.045 --> 00:40:53.088
<v Speaker 4>I've not yelled at Dave, but I yelled at this lady.

00:40:53.701 --> 00:41:00.947
<v Speaker 4>So we're playing volleyball, the Meadowbrook's playing and they start off a couple-point lead, but every time they serve there's this delay.

00:41:00.947 --> 00:41:03.610
<v Speaker 4>It's like they won't let them hit.

00:41:03.610 --> 00:41:10.644
<v Speaker 4>The head ref is waiting to blow the whistle thing and there's something going on with the stat sheet people.

00:41:10.644 --> 00:41:15.905
<v Speaker 4>But I, being the loving Christian that I am, I'm sitting there and I've got all three kids with me.

00:41:15.905 --> 00:41:24.617
<v Speaker 4>I'm like why is there a delay every time Meadowbrook gets to hit?

00:41:24.617 --> 00:41:30.527
<v Speaker 4>It got really quiet when I said that.

00:41:30.527 --> 00:41:37.175
<v Speaker 4>So the head referee turns around and says would you like to referee the game?

00:41:37.175 --> 00:41:42.382
<v Speaker 4>And I said well, I have watched a lot of volleyball.

00:41:42.382 --> 00:41:43.483
<v Speaker 4>No, that's what I wanted to say.

00:41:43.483 --> 00:41:50.713
<v Speaker 4>And I just shriveled, I just went like and she said because if not, if you don't, you can leave.

00:41:50.713 --> 00:42:02.603
<v Speaker 4>And this was the second year in a row that, within five points, I got told either sit down and be quiet or you're going to leave and throw the popcorn.

00:42:02.603 --> 00:42:13.369
<v Speaker 4>I'm training Jameson and I got to thinking one that referee's trying Me yelling at that referee.

00:42:13.369 --> 00:42:14.693
<v Speaker 4>Is that showing them the love of God?

00:42:14.693 --> 00:42:16.427
<v Speaker 4>No, was I right?

00:42:16.427 --> 00:42:16.731
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

00:42:16.731 --> 00:42:17.235
<v Speaker 4>The love of God?

00:42:17.235 --> 00:42:17.579
<v Speaker 4>No, was I right?

00:42:17.579 --> 00:42:18.681
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry.

00:42:22.699 --> 00:42:28.206
<v Speaker 4>I also think about what would I have told the kids as we're loading up it's the first set.

00:42:28.206 --> 00:42:32.262
<v Speaker 4>Hey guys, get your snacks, come on, we're going to go watch the game.

00:42:32.262 --> 00:42:39.427
<v Speaker 4>In the car, daddy really ministered to that lady over there and she didn't accept Jesus.

00:42:39.427 --> 00:42:44.367
<v Speaker 4>What would I have told them?

00:42:44.367 --> 00:42:51.666
<v Speaker 4>You know, because I'm trying to teach them, hey, we don't treat people poorly because we love them, because God tells us to love, but Daddy yells at the referee.

00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:58.432
<v Speaker 4>My point is this the world wants you, satan wants you to fall into those traps, he wants you to fall into those tricks.

00:42:58.432 --> 00:42:59.460
<v Speaker 4>He wants you to fall into those tricks.

00:42:59.460 --> 00:43:03.251
<v Speaker 4>He wants you to spout out on things like that.

00:43:03.251 --> 00:43:05.824
<v Speaker 4>That's just what he's going to do.

00:43:05.824 --> 00:43:08.668
<v Speaker 4>Anything he can, he's going to try to get you.

00:43:08.668 --> 00:43:12.559
<v Speaker 4>So I went and stood in the doorway by Baker so I wouldn't yell anymore.

00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:16.050
<v Speaker 4>I stood by a brother in Christ so I wouldn't yell at the referee anymore.

00:43:16.050 --> 00:43:19.268
<v Speaker 4>The world wants you too.

00:43:19.268 --> 00:43:22.266
<v Speaker 4>But here's what we've got to know.

00:43:22.266 --> 00:43:27.246
<v Speaker 4>You can break the pattern If you start to think differently.

00:43:27.246 --> 00:43:30.268
<v Speaker 4>You can break this pattern.

00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:37.869
<v Speaker 4>Paul is writing to a group of Christians and he's saying brothers and sisters, I want you to continue to choose God, because the world is going to come after you.

00:43:37.869 --> 00:43:38.985
<v Speaker 4>The world's going to want to grab you.

00:43:38.985 --> 00:43:43.646
<v Speaker 4>The world's going to want you to follow the world, but I want you to follow me.

00:43:43.646 --> 00:43:50.760
<v Speaker 4>And here's how you do it If you start to think differently, you have to think differently.

00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:54.088
<v Speaker 4>It tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our what?

00:43:54.088 --> 00:43:55.452
<v Speaker 4>Minds.

00:43:55.452 --> 00:43:59.726
<v Speaker 4>How do you think we do that?

00:43:59.726 --> 00:44:03.646
<v Speaker 4>By the renewing of our mind.

00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:15.166
<v Speaker 4>Getting the Word Very good, it's not about how I feel.

00:44:15.166 --> 00:44:19.266
<v Speaker 4>It's not about what I need to do, but it's about what I feel.

00:44:19.266 --> 00:44:21.940
<v Speaker 4>It's not about what I need to do, but it's about what God says.

00:44:21.940 --> 00:44:27.472
<v Speaker 4>I need to renew my mind by understanding the things that God has done for me.

00:44:27.472 --> 00:44:41.050
<v Speaker 4>I need to renew my understanding of what God has done for me, because when I think on and when I renew my mind with the things that God has said about me and what God has done for me, then I will serve God.

00:44:41.050 --> 00:44:43.152
<v Speaker 4>I won't fall into the world.

00:44:43.494 --> 00:45:02.108
<v Speaker 4>The things that we learn about God justification from guilt and shame, adoption in Jesus and identity in Christ, that we're under grace, not the law, that we've been given the Holy Spirit, that we have a promise of help in all affliction, confidence in the coming glory, confidence that there's no separation from the love of God, confidence that God is going to be faithful Guess what?

00:45:02.108 --> 00:45:05.561
<v Speaker 4>Those all depend on God, not you.

00:45:05.561 --> 00:45:11.271
<v Speaker 4>And so when I focus my attention on God and not me, guess who I choose?

00:45:11.271 --> 00:45:15.204
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to ultimately choose God.

00:45:15.204 --> 00:45:18.271
<v Speaker 4>Paul is saying don't overthink it, don't overcomplicate it.

00:45:18.271 --> 00:45:20.543
<v Speaker 4>Live in such a way fuel your mind with the love of God, and when you do that't overthink it, don't overcomplicate it.

00:45:20.543 --> 00:45:34.106
<v Speaker 4>Live in such a way, fuel your mind with the love of God, and when you do that, look what's going to happen, and so we're going to, over the next couple weeks, continue to identify some patterns that we, as Christians, fall into, and some of those are healthy, some of those are unhealthy.

00:45:34.106 --> 00:45:43.146
<v Speaker 4>We'll hopefully learn how we can get through those things, but the God that broke chains can break patterns.

00:45:43.146 --> 00:45:47.909
<v Speaker 4>The God that made prison walls shake can shake the pattern that you're in.

00:45:48.831 --> 00:45:49.630
<v Speaker 4>Let's pray, father.

00:45:49.630 --> 00:45:51.652
<v Speaker 4>We thank you so much for your love, god.

00:45:51.652 --> 00:46:02.440
<v Speaker 4>We thank you so much for the way that you love us and the way that you choose us and the way that you continually say I am with you, god.

00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:09.873
<v Speaker 4>We're thankful for the words of Paul and his just desire for Christians to follow you.

00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:17.293
<v Speaker 4>God, I pray that we do choose to focus on, to be transformed by, the things that you've done in our life.

00:46:17.293 --> 00:46:24.003
<v Speaker 4>God, there's so many things that I can get angry with, there's so many things I can get upset with, there's so many things that I can fall into.

00:46:24.003 --> 00:46:27.512
<v Speaker 4>God, I know that Satan is attacking us right now.

00:46:27.512 --> 00:46:45.940
<v Speaker 4>There are people in here that are struggling with different things that you know the world has to offer and, god, I pray that as a community, as a family, that we can turn our attention to you, that we can be transformed by the things that you're doing in our lives and the things that you've already done for us and the things that you will continue to do.

00:46:45.940 --> 00:46:47.204
<v Speaker 4>God, we trust you.

00:46:47.204 --> 00:46:57.588
<v Speaker 4>We know that you are able and willing to love us and to transform us and to change the pattern that we fall into.

00:46:57.588 --> 00:47:00.300
<v Speaker 4>Thank you for Jesus, thank you for his example.

00:47:00.300 --> 00:47:02.304
<v Speaker 4>It's in his name we pray, amen.

00:47:03.204 --> 00:47:05.469
<v Speaker 1>I could just sit.

00:47:05.469 --> 00:47:13.724
<v Speaker 1>I could just sit and wait for all your goodness Hope to feel your presence.

00:47:14.244 --> 00:47:16.507
<v Speaker 3>I could just stay.

00:47:17.048 --> 00:47:21.155
<v Speaker 2>I could just stay right where I am and hope to feel.

00:47:21.155 --> 00:47:24.809
<v Speaker 2>You Hope to feel something again.

00:47:25.581 --> 00:47:26.505
<v Speaker 3>I could just sit.

00:47:26.505 --> 00:47:32.952
<v Speaker 3>I could just sit and wait for all your goodness.

00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:35.909
<v Speaker 2>Hope to feel your presence.

<v Speaker 2>I could feel your presence, I could just stay.

<v Speaker 2>I am and hope to feel you Hope to feel something again.

00:47:53.398 --> 00:47:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I could hold on.

00:47:53.960 --> 00:48:00.003
<v Speaker 2>I could hold on to who I am and never let you change me from the inside.

00:48:00.003 --> 00:48:02.286
<v Speaker 2>I could be safe.

00:48:02.286 --> 00:48:10.385
<v Speaker 2>I could be safe here in your arms and never leave home, never let these walls down.

00:48:10.385 --> 00:48:13.047

<v Speaker 2>I can hold on.

<v Speaker 2>I could hold on to who I am and never let you change me from the inside.

00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:49.559

<v Speaker 2>I could be safe here in your arms and never leave home, never let these walls down.

00:48:58.887 --> 00:49:00.931
<v Speaker 2>You have called me higher.

00:49:00.931 --> 00:49:02.074
<v Speaker 2>Never leave home, never let these walls down.

00:49:02.074 --> 00:49:03.920
<v Speaker 2>You have called me higher.

00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:09.559
<v Speaker 2>You have called me deeper, and I'll go where you will lead me, lord.
