A New Year’s Day to Remember | Exodus 12:2, 12

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,320
Welcome back, New year, new me.
It's a new year, new you.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:04,280
I like it.
Yeah.

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,960
It's feels like it's been a
minute.

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,200
Yeah, it has.
I remember, you know, as we

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,480
were, I was telling Jill, you
know, you ever get like, I don't

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,280
know if it's stress or sleep
deprivation or a combination of

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,840
the two, but like you get like
your eye will twitch.

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,120
Oh yeah, yeah.
That was happening before

9
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,080
Christmas 'cause it was like the
house for the holidays.

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,840
Trying to plan out all of our
podcasts for this couple of work

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,600
things going on getting.
It's just busy.

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,759
Yeah, yeah.
And then we had like some car

13
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,880
things we were taking care of.
So it was like, but yeah, been a

14
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,080
minute, been a minute so.
And then it seems like things

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,280
just like melt or it's just
like, right, It's like got the

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,600
IT got the whole year ahead of
you.

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,760
That's not a lot going on.
It's.

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,920
All good.
It's all good now, yeah?

19
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,840
Great.
Well, how was the holidays for

20
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,760
you?
Good Christmas in Arkansas.

21
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,200
Yeah, it was.
It was really good, travelled

22
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,340
there safely and back and spent,
you know, good time with the in

23
00:00:57,340 --> 00:00:59,000
laws.
Got some duck hunting in.

24
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,440
We're actually going to duck
hunt.

25
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,760
You got the preview and then
you're gonna, you know, go right

26
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,000
back.
At it so there's a cold front

27
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,240
that's supposed to hit this this
week so.

28
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:11,720
Yeah.
Is this the cold front?

29
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,560
That's like hitting everywhere?
Yeah, it's like all you see is

30
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,840
like everywhere.
It's gonna be cold.

31
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,960
My in laws keep like it's gonna
be like kind of warning us like

32
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,160
it's gonna be cold when you're
here.

33
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,680
And we're like, that's the
point.

34
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,400
That's the point.
Like cold pushes the ducks down,

35
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,080
which is what attracts the duck
hunters.

36
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,480
So yeah.
Nice.

37
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,400
Well, that's exciting.
I don't, I don't get, I don't

38
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,160
have any travel plans.
Family came to me over

39
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,480
Christmas.
It was good.

40
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,800
Saw my mom and dad, saw my
father-in-law, saw my sister.

41
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,640
So it's all good stuff.
Yeah, all those people from

42
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,760
Maine.
All those people that we see,

43
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,520
yeah.
Did they bring any moose along

44
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,760
with them?
You know, no, it did not fit in

45
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,760
the in the carry on.
You know, maybe next time.

46
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,680
Yeah, any notable gifts you got
for Christmas, you know.

47
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,280
I oh, you got to see in action.
This is a teaser for maybe a

48
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,280
short or a, you know, reel
coming out.

49
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,920
Got some of these handheld
portable mics kind of thing.

50
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,360
That connect to phones.
Yeah, that's right.

51
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,640
So you know we.
Talked about upping our short

52
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,080
game a little bit in the next
year.

53
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,840
So maybe they'll maybe they'll
come in use, yeah.

54
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,840
Lock your cars, people lock your
cars.

55
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,960
So those are really cool.
I got, I got got some pickleball

56
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,320
stuff.
I got some Lakers branded

57
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,520
pickleball played.
It was actually pretty fun.

58
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,240
My my father and I was really
good at pickleball.

59
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,560
He like has played he, he's
played like tennis like all his

60
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,800
life and has tried to pick
pickleball.

61
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,000
And so he was showing me the
ropes a little bit too.

62
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,120
Yeah.
Is Leanne good?

63
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,080
They like that it genetically
transferred down or no?

64
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,600
She's a machine.
She's a machine.

65
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,000
So we were able to play a little
bit.

66
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,960
That was kind of I was like, I
need to play more pickleball in

67
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,920
2025.
That would be good and that kind

68
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:45,200
of thing.
But yeah.

69
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,400
And then what about you?
What gifts or did you get?

70
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,800
Probably nothing cool.
I mean, maybe something really

71
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,000
cool.
I think I have an idea.

72
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:58,520
One of the things I got cool
from Lydia was this stamp with

73
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,600
my family Crest and the name,
the name Mott.

74
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,240
So like we can do like wax seal
so.

75
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,480
I expect like the only way you
communicate with people like you

76
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,200
just have to give your stamp of
approval.

77
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,880
Yeah, yeah, I just write letters
and seal it and stamp it.

78
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,520
So I got that.
That was actually before we

79
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,680
left.
We do like a little family

80
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,080
Christmas and then this has
actually been on my like, it's,

81
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,320
it's just kind of one of those
things like I saw it and I put

82
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,000
it on my you know, we, I, I can
just keep like a little wish

83
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,240
list for juju because that's
what she asked for And it's been

84
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,160
on there for a couple years, but
it finally happened that this

85
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,440
year I got this Lord of the
rings.

86
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,400
It's.
Leather bound.

87
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,960
It's leather, so this is I.
I know that you don't know but.

88
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,440
But for you and those who don't
know, this is the design on the

89
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,320
doors to the minds of Moria.
Can I read this?

90
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,160
I've been actually brushing from
my elvish.

91
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,840
Can I Can I read that?
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, you can.

92
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,600
Yeah, go ahead and read that for
everyone.

93
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,760
This book is a waste of time.
Yeah, now this is this is really

94
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,240
nice.
And this is not hundreds of

95
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,840
years old.
It just made to look hundreds or

96
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,240
this.
Is old.

97
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,920
It's made, Yeah, it's made to
look really old.

98
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,120
It's got this clasp that's cool.
And then it has.

99
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,200
Oh.
It's a journal.

100
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,320
It's like a yeah.
Oh cool, I didn't know if it was

101
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,920
like the like the Lord of the
Rings book like in that form,

102
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,480
but that's cool.
It's blank inside, like old,

103
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,440
feels like vellum type.
That's cool.

104
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,800
Yeah.
Or parchment.

105
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,000
So yeah, I gotta figure out how
I'm gonna use this 'cause you

106
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,600
don't like, just might write
mundane, like let me put a

107
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,960
grocery list in this.
That would be great.

108
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,080
Just grocery.
List stuff.

109
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,640
Yeah, it's.
Got to be something good.

110
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,640
Yeah.
So we got to figure out what

111
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,640
we're going to do, My
mother-in-law suggested.

112
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,560
Like putting words of wisdom in
here passed down to my my

113
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,600
daughters or something.
So that's a good idea.

114
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,280
So maybe, maybe we'll do that.
We'll see.

115
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,680
Nice, I like that.
Good visual.

116
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,440
You know, New year, Christmas,
everything.

117
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,680
The sermon this morning.
Yeah.

118
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,240
It, it was kind of based on the
new year.

119
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,240
I think that was kind of the
starting point was Danny

120
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,200
preaching this morning and that
was centered around Moses and

121
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,040
the Passover, because the
Passover changed their calendar

122
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,080
just like Jesus changed our
calendar.

123
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,680
That's.
A cool parallel community here.

124
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,320
So get excited.
We are going to go to Exodus 12.

125
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:24,800
So let's go ahead and take it to
the next level from the hearts

126
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,240
of the low country in South
Carolina.

127
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,560
It's the Take Two podcast where
we take theology to the next

128
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,960
level.
OK, a New Year's Day to

129
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,360
remember.
Title of the sermon comes, well,

130
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,120
Exodus 12.
And we're going to kind of go a

131
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,880
little bit through some of the
history of the Old Testament.

132
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,080
But then.
And I was even thinking while he

133
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,040
was preaching, it's like, well,
you know, Paul talks about this

134
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,440
and 1st Corinthians and then he
was like, yeah.

135
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,200
And then?
He was like you.

136
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:52,960
Brought it there.
Yeah.

137
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,560
So.
So we'll end up in First

138
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,400
Corinthians, but you know, 10
plagues most people know.

139
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,760
That you want to name the 9
plagues or 10 plagues real quick

140
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,400
in order for memory.
Yes, the blood, darkness, hail,

141
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,120
I don't know if that they're in
memory in order, I think we

142
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,520
could probably get put it.
Together.

143
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,960
But not not in order.
But yeah, so, and the cool thing

144
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,760
about this, I think we've
mentioned this before, is all of

145
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,040
the plagues were against some
form of an Egyptian God.

146
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Corresponds.
Yeah.

147
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,080
It's really sending a message
that they will know that I am

148
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,640
the Lord.
And it's, it's great.

149
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,480
Yeah, yeah, showing his
dominance over there.

150
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,600
There's prob, I think Heiser
probably has talked about that

151
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,280
some a little bit.
You know, the cosmic geography,

152
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,320
yeah.
Yeah, there's a question about

153
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,840
something.
It's you, text Clay and he's

154
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:43,120
like Heiser talked about this.
Yeah, Speaking of of one of

155
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,880
Chloe's friends she graduated
with, I guess he listens to the

156
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,520
podcast now and he said it's
Nephilim, not Nephilim.

157
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,480
I was like, well, I've heard it.
I was like, I've heard it both

158
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,920
ways.
I've heard it lots of different

159
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,440
ways from knowledgeable people.
I don't know, like I'd like to

160
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,520
have, you know, a anyways, all
right, so we have those 9

161
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:09,520
plagues and then we get the
instructions for the Passover

162
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,400
and starting off those
instructions.

163
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,920
Exodus 12/2 says this month
shall be the beginning of months

164
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,240
for you.
It is to be the first month of

165
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,440
the year to you.
So God is saying, boom, you

166
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,680
know, so it wasn't, you know,
Gregor looking back and changing

167
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,840
the calendar in light of this,
God's like this is going to, you

168
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:28,600
know.
I like that.

169
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,920
Make it memorable, something
that's going to be repetitive,

170
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,320
not just repetitive, but this is
the first month of the year

171
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,920
you'll be you'll be hitting,
hitting this very frequent, very

172
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,880
often reflecting on on this.
And then Danny kind of brings us

173
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,000
back and, you know, has his
tuck.

174
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,440
It's not all sunshine, rainbows.
It was it was a tough, tough

175
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,520
sledding at the beginning.
People were mad at Moses.

176
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,920
He angered Pharaoh.
Their workload increased.

177
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,160
We kind of just, you know, we're
like, oh, Passover's here.

178
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,280
It's all great, but that's not
where they were feeling,

179
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,560
probably.
Yeah, and I thought he made a

180
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,600
good point about, you know, they
were angry and upset at Moses.

181
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,400
What what Moses had done because
it increased their workload.

182
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,000
And we can, you know, through
anachronistic eyes go, you know,

183
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,360
you know, it's going to get
better.

184
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,400
It worked out.
It worked out.

185
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,520
Why are you grumbling?
But they didn't know how it was

186
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,840
going to end at the time.
And I think, you know, a point

187
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,240
for us is we've got the rest of
Revelation.

188
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,800
We know how it's going to end.
And sometimes we still grumble

189
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,680
and complain too.
We know that you know, so good

190
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,760
point for us to to think about.
And and then Danny covered the

191
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,480
1st 13 verses.
You want us to go ahead and read

192
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,760
that?
You want to just give an

193
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,159
overview?
What do you think is best?

194
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,880
Yeah, I, yeah, Either way, I
think maybe we can give an

195
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,640
overview.
So these are the 1st 13 verses

196
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,200
of Exodus 12 and they are the
instructions for the Passover

197
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,440
kind of the key things.
And maybe you can, we can scroll

198
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,200
and kind of pick them out.
They're going to choose a lamb

199
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,680
that's pure, spotless,
unblemished, that's been watched

200
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:02,120
for I think 7 days.
They're going to sacrifice that

201
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,120
lamb.
They're going to take that

202
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,800
lamb's blood, put it over the
outside door post.

203
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,520
They're going to cook this lamb,
not boil it, not do anything

204
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,280
else, but they're going to roast
it over fire.

205
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,960
All of it has to be consumed.
So I don't know if it's here or

206
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,040
other places where it's like if
you don't have enough, you know,

207
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,680
join two small families
together.

208
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,640
If.
You have leftover.

209
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,120
You need to burn it just.
Burn it all.

210
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,360
Yeah, be ready to travel.
Yeah, get those loins girded,

211
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,880
get those sandals on.
Let's make some haste.

212
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,320
There's some bitter herbs that
are along with this and

213
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,760
unleavened bread and I, I guess
I don't know.

214
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,800
Have you heard Danny's point
today was you don't have time to

215
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,200
leaven it.
You don't have time to wait for

216
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,520
it to rise?
I have not heard that.

217
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,040
It doesn't tell us explicitly
why it needs to be on leaven.

218
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,280
Sometimes leaven is associated
with sin.

219
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,080
So I've heard that there's.
Like this picture and it yeah,

220
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,080
I've heard both ways where I
think most people like if

221
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,320
they're reading into the leaven,
there's connecting it with

222
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:01,880
hurry.
Like not it's not like with the

223
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,080
leaven, but you know, having
your sandals on, so you gotta be

224
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,800
ready to go anyway.
I don't know, but I think you,

225
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,440
I'm, I'm trying to scroll
through, I think, I think you

226
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,200
hit all the big points.
Well, what, what the process,

227
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,480
what that would would look like.
And if you followed those steps,

228
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,640
you'd be passed over AKA
Passover.

229
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:26,440
Yeah, the Angel Lord's gonna
troll about and see, basically

230
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,920
observe.
And if you have the blood on the

231
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,000
outpost, then you're good.
He passes over, and if you're

232
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,440
not, then the first born in that
household dies.

233
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,720
And I always wondered how that
worked.

234
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:42,600
Like if you were a first born
parent, would you and your first

235
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,640
born child die in that house?
Wow, I never, I've never thought

236
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,080
about that.
Yeah, that's that's a that's

237
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,600
that's a good one to to chew on
or something else.

238
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:52,520
I.
Always thought, you know, I I

239
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,800
was the baby of the family so.
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was.

240
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,440
Well, yeah, I was a first born
biologically for my father

241
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,800
though, but the.
Baby of my.

242
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,880
Mom.
So maybe like, you know.

243
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,560
Yeah, I that's, that's one to
think on something else to think

244
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:06,680
on.
Danny made the point that at

245
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:09,960
this point, Israel, their
identity, I'm going back to

246
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,640
Abraham.
There were people called by God.

247
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,520
And now after this, there'll be
a people who are delivered by

248
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,440
God.
God really marking this, this

249
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,120
huge, you know, line in the, I
mean, you read the you read

250
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,320
anywhere else in Scripture.
We're going back to the Exodus

251
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,160
pretty frequently just
remembering this.

252
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,960
Yeah.
And then there are there are a

253
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,880
couple places scattered where
God is angry or he's predicting

254
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,360
his wrath and he's like, I'm
going to do all, all these

255
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,920
terrible things to you because,
and to put it in Danny's words,

256
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,160
you are delivered people who
failed to, you know, pay homage

257
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,280
to your deliverer.
But because you're also a called

258
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,000
people, I'm not going to destroy
you utterly.

259
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,320
And that kind of plays into what
we talked about a little bit a

260
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,160
couple weeks ago in Romans as
well.

261
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,920
And it there's leavening there,
too.

262
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,720
You know, once the dough was
holy then.

263
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,880
The whole.
The whole thing is holy, yeah.

264
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,600
And, and again, this
deliverance, this is what this

265
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,840
is the new calendar, this is
what they're gonna order their

266
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,880
life and their year rounds.
This this Passover and we got

267
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,280
everything we hit the unwashed
lamb blood, a lamb bread travel

268
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,560
ready to head outs.
I like this point 'cause I think

269
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,280
it is a good thing to consider
that, you know, when you read in

270
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,440
the text, you know, Moses writes
that a mixed multitude left

271
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,720
Egypt's.
I think presumably at this time

272
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,120
Egypt was a pretty big world
power that they probably

273
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,840
spanned, you know, up towards
like Syria down into Africa.

274
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,920
And we know Moses married
probably a Kushite woman and so

275
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,560
Egyptians may have lived with
them.

276
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,320
Maybe some people from, I mean
all over the place presumably

277
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,920
would have gone with them in
some capacity.

278
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,760
Yeah.
And so you have this mixed

279
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,680
multitude leaving.
And some of them were actually

280
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,800
the cause of some problems later
on 'cause they were complaining

281
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,280
while they were wandering the
deserts.

282
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,000
But.
Yeah, I think it's a good, good

283
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,160
lesson that it's like, you know,
relationship with God is on

284
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,600
theological grounds, both good
and bad, where, you know, we

285
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,400
always point to Aaron really
messed up with the golden calf

286
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,000
and his kids really messed up
with a false fire, but also

287
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,360
mixed multitudes like both good
and both bad.

288
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,760
You keep reading on in in Exodus
12 and they talk about the

289
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,480
sojourner.
Hey, you treat just like a

290
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:25,120
native, you know.
I always wonder, how much did

291
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,360
Aaron know that he was really
stepping out of line?

292
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,560
Like, was he?
You know, I've heard some

293
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:34,880
theologians speculate that he
thought that he was making this

294
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,520
calf that was representative of.
That's my understanding too.

295
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,840
That he was.
He thought he was, yeah.

296
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,640
It it might be the same thing.
I can't remember the text off to

297
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,120
my head with a strange fire
where maybe they thought they

298
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,240
were doing some like worshipping
God in some way and it's like

299
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,560
this is not what God said to do
so probably the same kind of

300
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:54,480
thing.
Even good intentions are like

301
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,880
Uzza the bad, Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

302
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Bad obedience.
All right, So we know that they

303
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,360
leave, they're LED a little bit
of ways out of Egypt by this

304
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,960
pillar of fire, pillar of cloud
pillar during the day and night.

305
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,680
And then they, you know,
famously, they get up to the Red

306
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:13,120
Sea or the Sea of Reeds.
You know, there's some

307
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,480
discussion about where that is
exactly.

308
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,440
But they get pinned against
this.

309
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,840
Pharaoh changes his mind,
pursues them.

310
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,440
The cloud kind of keeps arrow at
Bay while the red sea's open and

311
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,080
they cross.
And it takes them three days to

312
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,480
get across all of them.
Yeah, that's something.

313
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,560
A lot of people.
A lot of people could be a long

314
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,640
distance.
We don't really know.

315
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:32,040
Yeah, yeah.
I.

316
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,600
Wonder what the terrain is like
on the seabed, like how much you

317
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,560
know.
I don't know the Red Sea, the

318
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,880
topography very well, but I just
wonder, maybe there's like a big

319
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,840
hill here.
Or whatever.

320
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,960
Yeah.
So then, you know, just

321
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,080
recounting most of this stuff,
you know, we're kind of

322
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,200
rehearsing just to remind us the
the Red Sea comes in, destroys

323
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,480
Pharaoh's army.
Shortly after that, Moses gets

324
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,560
the 10 commandments.
We can know what that looks like

325
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,160
from the movie.
We all that's they had a they

326
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,720
had a video camera there.
And then as we're talking about,

327
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,720
you know, the Israelites during
this time really fall into sin.

328
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,800
Paul would say.
They sit down to eat and drink,

329
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,840
and then they got up to play.
Kind of some innuendo there,

330
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,240
suggested language.
Win.

331
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,880
Fast forward numbers 14.
We are on the precipice of the

332
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,680
promised line.
We're just, you know, not that

333
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,080
far away from actually crossing
into it.

334
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,320
The spies go out and majority of
them bring back this bad report

335
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,840
which results in pretty lot of
wandering for a long time, 40

336
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,840
years.
Yeah, and none of their clothing

337
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,480
wears out.
It's kind of crazy.

338
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,560
That is crazy. 40 years.
I mean, they just don't make

339
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:41,480
shoes like that.
Anymore.

340
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,520
It's not like they used to.
Wow, that's great.

341
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,360
Yeah.
It's for all their complaining.

342
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,920
I mean, their clothes held up.
Yeah.

343
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,600
I think the big picture here if,
if we step back, is we see God

344
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,600
shepherding his called out
people away from all the Ites,

345
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,000
you know, the Canaanites, the
Hittites, the all, because we

346
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,960
know both from the word and from
historical records how bad those

347
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,760
cultures were.
So God's insulating his people

348
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,400
from them.
Clearly they are influenced a

349
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,120
little bit by the Egyptians, but
the Egyptians don't have a lot

350
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,560
to do with them because the
Egyptians don't like people who

351
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,280
raise cattle and, and sheep.
That's an anathema to them.

352
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,960
So God's allowing this nation to
grow and then bringing them out

353
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,720
into the desert.
But this first generation,

354
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,040
they're not ready to be
followers.

355
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,600
And I think God chose them, that
through these 12 bad spies, the

356
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,600
10, the spies that give them a
bad report.

357
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,880
Yeah, isn't that interesting.
I'm trying to think back at

358
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,920
going back to thinking about
this mixed multitude of other

359
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,880
nations.
So Jacob, this is too much

360
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,120
potato.
We can, we can run through this

361
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,160
fast.
But Jacob, Israel, twelve sons,

362
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,000
Judah and Simeon, they married
Canaanites, Joseph married an

363
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,320
Egyptian.
Then it's just interesting how

364
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,640
that's it's like the separation,
but then God works in ways with

365
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,480
like Rahab and stuff and in his
mercy.

366
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,760
But you see, like all these
nations, it's like they're

367
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,599
distinct, but yet pretty, pretty
diverse at the at the same time.

368
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,040
But but you're right, it's like
even though they had all the

369
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,119
right answers, judges comes and
they do everything that's right

370
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:16,800
in their own eyes.
Yeah.

371
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,720
Yeah, yeah.
So he does grow them.

372
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,079
He gets rid of that generation
so influenced by Egypt now that

373
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:25,319
next generation goes in.
But you know like you just

374
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:28,040
alluded to, they, they still
mess it up and they get into

375
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,640
this send deliverance cycle that
we we've talked about before.

376
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,880
Wow.
And so Danny continues to talk

377
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,240
about some Old Testament.
We're really getting a broad

378
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,600
overview.
I think it would do us well.

379
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,000
We can skip ahead to how does it
apply for us today because

380
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,080
that's the Old Testament.
You know, we're not, we're not

381
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,240
Jews.
We, you know, you know, how do

382
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,360
we how do we make this work for
us?

383
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:50,520
And I guess we're pretty
fortunate because Paul's like I

384
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,520
got you.
Paul does the work for us and

385
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,440
it's inspired so we can we can
trust it.

386
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,440
So this is First Corinthians
10/1 through 14.

387
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,760
Probably we should read this.
I had some stuff underlined and

388
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,160
bolded just because, you know,
as Daniel was talking through

389
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,240
it, that he was kind of landing
on those things.

390
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,000
So I'll try to with my voice, do
that, you know?

391
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:15,040
The audio book voice acclaim.
It says, For I do not want you

392
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,520
to be unaware, brethren, that
our fathers were all under the

393
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,320
cloud, and all passed through
the sea, and all were baptized

394
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,600
into Moses in the cloud and in
the sea.

395
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,960
And all ate the same spiritual
food, talking about the manna,

396
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,880
and all drank the same spiritual
drink, for they were drinking

397
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,280
from a spiritual rock.
And we made this connection

398
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:40,040
between the image of Christ
which followed them and the

399
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,320
rock.
Was Christ.

400
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,520
Nevertheless the most of them.
God was not well with most of

401
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,320
them God was not well pleased,
for they were laid low in the

402
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,920
wilderness.
Now these things happened as

403
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,680
examples for us, key phrase
there, so that we would not

404
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,480
crave evil things as they also
craved.

405
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,360
Do not be idolaters, as some of
them were.

406
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,680
As is written, the people sat
down to eat and drink and stood

407
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,960
up to play.
Nor let us act immorally as some

408
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,640
of them did and 23,000 fell in
one day.

409
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,520
Nor let us try the Lord, as some
of them did and were destroyed

410
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,720
by the serpents, nor grumble as
some of them did and were

411
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,720
destroyed by the destroyer.
So there's more history there

412
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,160
that we did not cover.
But you know, Paul is alluding

413
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,480
to different acts of rebellion
and the consequences that they

414
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,120
had.
Paul continues.

415
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:35,640
Now these things kind of
repeating himself happened to

416
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,520
them as an example, but they
were written for our

417
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,960
instruction, upon whom the ends
of the ages have come.

418
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,800
And so then this is the bolder
point.

419
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,120
Therefore let him who thinks he
stands take heed that he does

420
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:52,280
not fall.
No temptation has overtaken you,

421
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,120
but such as is common to man,
and God is faithful, who will

422
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:58,360
not allow you to be tempted
beyond what you're able.

423
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,880
But with the temptation, we'll
provide the way of escape also,

424
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,480
so that you'll be able to endure
it.

425
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,840
Therefore, my beloved, flee from
idolatry.

426
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,360
Wow that that is good.
I like your voice.

427
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:13,520
Did did the trick where if
you're listening examples, as

428
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,320
mentioned a couple times in
there where you know, the point

429
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,560
is clear that a main one of the
main reasons these things

430
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,120
happened or these things
happened as examples for us that

431
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,360
we would do well to reflect on
lest we think that, you know, we

432
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:31,560
got everything covered.
These dumb Israelites don't know

433
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,760
what's going on when they say
things like I wish I was back in

434
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,160
Egypt.
They grumbled and complained.

435
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:42,520
You know, we, we often times I
think similarly kind of it

436
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,640
wasn't so hard back then or were
grumbling, complaining.

437
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,760
I feel like we all do that a
lot, yeah.

438
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:55,640
All right, so God built in
reminders for them and for us.

439
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,520
And so we need to heed those
reminders.

440
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,800
And, you know, so the kind of
question is what?

441
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,320
What maybe perhaps in our own
lives do we need to change?

442
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,760
We think, look back at, you
know, what they were saying.

443
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,080
I wish I was back in Egypt.
Or, you know, we don't have

444
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,720
meat.
We only have this bread.

445
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,600
You know, what kind of lies are
we believing when we grumble and

446
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,600
complain or we crave after those
idols that we might have?

447
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,560
Yeah, I I think that's good.
And we can even jump a few

448
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,040
chapters beforehand to 1st
Corinthians 5 verses 7 and 8,

449
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,280
when Paul Hill right here clean
out the old leaven so that you

450
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,960
may be a new lump, just as you
are in fact unleavened for

451
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,960
Christ.
Our Passover also has been

452
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,040
sacrificed.
Therefore let us celebrate the

453
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,280
feast not with old leaven, nor
with the leaven of malice and

454
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,480
wickedness, but with the
unleavened bread of sincerity

455
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,640
and truth.
And so Paul again, you know, he,

456
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,400
you see the word Passover in
there, Christ our Passover and

457
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,400
there's some celebration, but we
need to do that in the in the

458
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,040
right way, that sincerity and
truth, not with that malice and

459
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,400
wickedness.
Yeah, that's great.

460
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,480
And then for us at CBC,
communion is the first Sunday of

461
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,640
every month.
This was the first Sunday in

462
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,560
January.
So, you know, Danny purposely

463
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,720
starts turning the sermon
towards looking at the communion

464
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,040
table.
And so the verse is that I just

465
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,400
picked off, left off.
I'm gonna, you know, repeat

466
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:23,800
that.
Phrase.

467
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,080
I think that's important.
Yeah, it's like 10 just keeps on

468
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:28,000
scrolling.
Yeah, so I'll repeat that phrase

469
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,640
about fleeing idolatry, and then
it goes into looking at, you

470
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,840
know, the communion.
It says, therefore, my beloved,

471
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:37,200
flee from idolatry.
I speak as to wise men.

472
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,200
You judge what I say is not the
cup of blessing which we bless a

473
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,880
sharing in the blood of Christ?
Is not the bread which we break

474
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,800
a sharing in the body of Christ?
Since there is one bread, we who

475
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,560
are many are one body, for we
all partake of the one bread.

476
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,800
Look at the nation Israel are
not those who eat the sacrifices

477
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,480
shares in the altar.
What do I mean then?

478
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,040
That a thing sacrificed to idols
is nothing or that an idol is

479
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,840
anything?
So again, this is taken out of a

480
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,960
larger context.
Those last two phrases are kind

481
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,360
of going back to that larger
context.

482
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:14,400
But the main point is that, you
know, since we have 1 cup one

483
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,160
bread, we're all shares in that
one body, so we should be

484
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,000
unified.
Yeah, great Unity.

485
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,960
This is another aside.
We're doing communion today.

486
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,240
You probably did not notice this
cut you were leading or No, I

487
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,200
noticed.
Did you notice this?

488
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,360
You don't talk about?
The very loud crunching, is that

489
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,720
what you're talking about?
No, but there is always very

490
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,560
loud crunching.
You might done this on purpose

491
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,920
actually.
Like everyone, the people

492
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,520
handing out communion will come
to the front and then we'll, you

493
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,760
know, hand off the plates to to
Danny and then we'll all be

494
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,440
we'll all each other be like,
OK, we'll take a seat.

495
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,400
As soon as we sat down, you're
like everyone's stand.

496
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,960
And so we were like down and
then up.

497
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,760
We all stand.
We all had.

498
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,520
We were standing, then we were
down and came right back up like

499
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,520
it was like In Sync, like all
right, sit and you're like

500
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,400
everyone's stand.
It was great.

501
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,200
I didn't want to distract while
I was waiting for a time in the

502
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:03,040
in the song where I could talk,
'cause it, 'cause there's a

503
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,800
little interlude there before
the bridge.

504
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:05,960
It's.
Great, keeping us on her toes.

505
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,560
Yeah, literally on your toes.
No, but I thought you know it.

506
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:12,920
Was good.
No, it was good.

507
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,880
I I like standing and I like
the, you know, flow of it where

508
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,000
it's like Christian doing, you
know, so that's that's great.

509
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,520
And and we make the Danny makes
the other application.

510
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,840
What we celebrate matters.
Key point in that is you should

511
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,640
be celebrating something.
We all probably are.

512
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,280
You know what, what do you
celebrate?

513
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,000
Do you have purposeful things
set up in your life that you

514
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,200
celebrate to focus your mind on
the things that matter?

515
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,240
No, it's good.
That's good.

516
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:39,800
Recognize the struggle in the
wilderness.

517
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,320
So you know, there are going to
be times that don't do as well.

518
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,960
How do we get out of that
wilderness?

519
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,720
You know, I think we get out by
submitting ourselves to God and

520
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:55,000
you know, trying to get into the
quote UN quote promised land for

521
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,440
us as believers and then last
one.

522
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:00,960
Fellowship with Christ, our
passion and celebration.

523
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,400
I like that.
You know, as we go through this,

524
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,320
there's like two sides of
everything, the struggle in the

525
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,840
wilderness, but man,
celebration.

526
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,320
And that celebration is not
individual, but fellowship.

527
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,600
This is a great, great point of
unity.

528
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,840
We have this passion, this
magnificent obsession we sang

529
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,560
about and worship.
It's like, man, that's A cause

530
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,440
for great, great fellowship.
All right, first sermon in the

531
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,880
new year.
Anything else to add?

532
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:26,040
Dude, it was great.
Get back in the swing of things.

533
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,360
Next week we're back to Romans.
Romans 12 all.

534
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,600
Right.
That's our take.

535
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,480
