How Can We All Get Along? Part 3 | Romans 15:1-12

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,840
So, Zach, there's lots of times
that I am heading in to church

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,200
and you know, we are, you know,
there's people that are really

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,560
early.
OK, Yeah, you.

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,320
Probably fit in that category,
although it feels probably feels

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,400
on time do.
You.

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,960
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, there's people that

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,680
are really late.
And it might feel on time to

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,440
them and it.
Might feel on time to them we

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,400
we're not always successful but
as the Mark family you know

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,000
we're trying to get in there
with just minutes to.

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,119
Spare the sweet spot.
Yeah, yeah, sweet spot.

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,400
And sometimes, you know, I'll be
at that light that we have to

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,480
turn in and I'm like, yeah, why
are you not going?

14
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,880
Or, you know, and I'm always
concerned, you know, when I'm

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,120
heading into church, you know,
if, you know, I want to be, I

16
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,560
want to be like this all the
time.

17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,160
But there's a special concern,
like, you don't want to, like,

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,640
be traffically rude, you know,
to someone who might go into

19
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000
church with you at the same
time, you know, 'cause you don't

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,840
be like, oh, no.
But I've never had a concern.

21
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,800
Yeah.
Leaving church.

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,680
Oh boy, yeah, You know, you blot
yourself out there.

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,000
You ever before we get to be
when you take the left turn, do

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,600
you ever do the old U-turn
before the light?

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,920
That's a That's a nice I.
Learned that from Mr. Rogers.

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,560
Yeah.
So Josh, I saw them and they

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,600
beat us one time it was 100 and
I said, oh, I just pulled AUE

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,640
and we all were up at the light.
So if I look to see if the like,

29
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,320
that's my first option, is AUE
going to be possible?

30
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,800
That's nice.
And if it is, I'm like, let's

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,200
take the UE and then make the
right.

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,240
Yeah.
But then if it's not possible,

33
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:41,920
yeah, go up on the light and
wait.

34
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,960
Man, but leaving church, you
know.

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,880
It can be dangerous.
It can be.

36
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,920
I'll tell you what.
I I honestly, I I blame I-26 to

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,400
five, the 526.
I honestly, nothing good can

38
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,160
come out of 526.
It's like anything could come

39
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,480
out of Nazareth.
It's like anything good come

40
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,920
from 5:26.
I don't, I don't think so.

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,040
I 526 is the bane of my
existence.

42
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,080
I don't use it a.
Lot, but it was the IT was right

43
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,760
next to the IT was the 526 on
Rep right next to the church.

44
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,639
No, no, no, sorry.
It was like 26 to, I mean 526 to

45
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,840
26.
Oh, and it was still a a church

46
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,080
member.
Yeah, I, I, I, I, I'm hesitant

47
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,240
to say anymore.
I don't want to throw anyone on

48
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,600
the bus.
And it was one, it was a tough

49
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,920
situation where I mean, I was
even on my, it was like

50
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,000
everything slowed down.
So we all were kind of slamming

51
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,880
on our brakes and it was just a
just.

52
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,160
A So was that 520-6226 exchange
OK?

53
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,560
And it's it was, it was where?
Where at where you like?

54
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,680
Close to Tanger or towards the
end where you're about to get on

55
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,760
26 or I.
Was I probably, there's probably

56
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,880
like 15 it, it was on the early
side of it, not at the end.

57
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Like it was like things are
going great, then it's like

58
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,760
everything slows down out of
nowhere.

59
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,120
Everyone's probably following a
little bit more closely than we

60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,760
should and.
Did you pull over to the side

61
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,040
of?
The road we I pulled over to the

62
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,880
side of the road the other
person rolled down their window

63
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,880
recognized them like hey, let's
meet up at the next exit and

64
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,840
that was great and you know
sounds good so it all it all

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,480
worked on it was it was it was
not bad at all and you know

66
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,920
just.
I hear those Teslas, they just

67
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:11,080
don't hold up, is that right?
Yeah, my Tesla started like

68
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,840
screaming at me.
I was like, oh, I guess I need

69
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,720
to really slow down in a hurry.
But you know, everyone's safe

70
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,280
and sound.
No, no complaints.

71
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,560
You know it's not safe and
sound.

72
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,240
What's that?
It's my Honda Odyssey, dude.

73
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,920
Not a good time to own a Honda
Odyssey.

74
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,040
Hondas, man.
I know they're supposed to be

75
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:28,920
reliable.
I know.

76
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,760
And everyone I know with a Honda
Odyssey specifically.

77
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:38,400
Not everyone, but not reliable.
We've had two, the first one.

78
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,040
What year was the first one?
The first one was 2000.

79
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,920
It was a burgundy.
I think it's 2012.

80
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,120
OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that went, did that go well

81
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,480
to the end or did it not?
I mean, it went to 180 a hundred

82
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,160
and. 90 yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like, that's not terrible.

83
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,600
The ones from the early 2000s,
they went 250, three, 100,000

84
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,640
miles.
They don't make them like they

85
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,160
used.
To they don't.

86
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,240
They literally do not make them
like they used to.

87
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,760
Eco mode.
Eco modes killing them.

88
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:06,960
This is out there, this out
there.

89
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,480
I have no mechanic.
I know nothing about cars like

90
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,800
the worst person with cars
that's me.

91
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,480
But I googled something and I
think it's going to work because

92
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:18,800
should have whatever mechanic
wants to hear that.

93
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,120
I just googled something I think
and there was a lot of people

94
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,040
saying if you can do this thing
that like shuts off the eco mode

95
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,080
doesn't fix everything but it
can it can help with some of

96
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,600
those misfiring.
Our our goal is to sell ours,

97
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,040
our current one, and then use
that money to get Lydia a car.

98
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah.

99
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,880
And so, yeah, mine's a, yours is
2017 currently.

100
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,480
Yeah, mine's a 2015.
Not high mileage.

101
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,800
Mine's, I mean, it's like like
100,000 miles, 120 to me that's

102
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,640
not high mileage because I try
to drive my car.

103
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,880
It's like 200, yeah.
Like we buy a car and my my in

104
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,520
laws are like like you're like
they get rid of cars at the

105
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,440
mileage that sometimes we buy
cars.

106
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,880
So.
No, it's funny because yeah, you

107
00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,520
talk.
Yeah, exactly.

108
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,600
Talk to people.
Like, man, just get up to

109
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,200
100,000.
I mean, you're like, that's

110
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,680
prime time.
Like, sign me up.

111
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,520
Yeah, it's like, that's pretty
funny.

112
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,040
That's right.
Everyone's in a.

113
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,840
Little bit too.
I think in general they're

114
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:11,320
making cars better.
Yeah, yeah, American cars

115
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,600
better.
Maybe the foreign cars with all

116
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,200
these EPA stuff a little worse.
Because that's what I've read

117
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,160
again in my 20 minute Google
search.

118
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,200
So I don't know anything but
that it's like Honda has all

119
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,280
these incentives.
I mean, all these car

120
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:29,200
manufacturers do for eco mode
and you know, climate change and

121
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,400
stuff where if they have this
thing, they get a lot of money,

122
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,800
even if it's like potentially
puts your car at a higher risk.

123
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,240
And my car has always I, I
wonder if yours on this.

124
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,200
Mine has always like had a
little shaking to it and it's

125
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,880
not been terrible, but it's like
it's like.

126
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,000
It's kind of weird.
I have I just a lot of shaking.

127
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,560
Like, no, not even, not even
just driving, like a little bit

128
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,280
of shaking.
So ours was always wobbly

129
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,400
hitting the brakes and we ended
up having to get the rotors

130
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,840
redone.
But that was another thing.

131
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:01,480
Like they don't put as heavy
metal on the rotors because that

132
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,360
helps them make the EPA thing
which the rotors are not as

133
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,920
good.
So they get more easier.

134
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,720
So we went to a car shop and
they're like, well, you got

135
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,760
three-year warranty.
I'm like, we'll, we'll see you

136
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,040
every year for the next three
years because.

137
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,760
Yeah, right, right.
Yeah.

138
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,640
Well, there you go.
Sometimes it's just hard to hard

139
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,880
to get along.
It is harder.

140
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,280
With all this car stuff you
know.

141
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,640
So we should have 3 sermons.
On it 3 sermons.

142
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,400
Yeah, this is like I'm not.
I don't think I've ever seen a

143
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,440
part 1-2 and three from Joel.
Love it.

144
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,200
The Trilogy.
It's like he's, yeah.

145
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,600
People talk about Star Wars,
people talk about Lord of the

146
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,400
Rings, but people don't talk
about Paul's trilogy of How can

147
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,800
we get along?
We're back.

148
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,760
We're back in Romans 'cause we
have not been in Romans,

149
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,000
correct?
Or were we just in Romans?

150
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Are we going to lose?
We're I'm losing track of my

151
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,160
life.
I'm in a time.

152
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,160
I know we did Tim Sermon and
then praying.

153
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,160
Praying may have been the last
one to hit.

154
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:58,720
I'd have to.
Go back.

155
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,560
I think he might be right.
So getting back into Romans only

156
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,240
for a short time, so before
we're done with it.

157
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:13,120
But let's go ahead, let's take
it to the next level from the

158
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,160
hearts of the low country in
South Carolina.

159
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,480
It's the Take Two podcast where
we take theology to the next

160
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,360
level.
All right, so Romans 15, second

161
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,000
to last chapter, and I can
briefly put the Jensen graph

162
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,240
back up here and maybe link it
below.

163
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,760
But we're towards the end of
this last section on the Jensen

164
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,880
graph and we've really been
covering, you know, how do we

165
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,840
get along as we have harmony.
I like it because you don't have

166
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,120
to look very far that the
previous, you know, we had great

167
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,320
illustrations and it's kind of
and once it's comforting that

168
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,200
you know, the church 2000 years
ago.

169
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,480
They had their problems.
They had their problems too.

170
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,520
It's not just us today, right?
Yeah.

171
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,920
And so past couple episodes on
this, we've talked about food,

172
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,920
meat, sacrifice at temples.
Some people hold some days

173
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,080
higher esteemed than others.
Alcohol.

174
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,240
There are some people that don't
like Lord of the Rings, like you

175
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,920
just you need to love those.
An issue of conscience.

176
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:17,760
It's great.
It's not.

177
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,560
Yeah, that is good.
Hashtag beer with my pizza.

178
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,200
We should like, make that like,
make that a thing.

179
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,520
Hashtag like.
Oh, that's good.

180
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,840
Last one we looked at and Joel
kind of referred back to these

181
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,039
these guidelines that Paul gives
and he doesn't say here's

182
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,559
guideline one, but you know, you
can read them and kind of

183
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,240
abstract these from them.
Don't cause a brother to sin.

184
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,159
Obviously what we're talking
about there is sitting against

185
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,720
their conscience.
Walk according to love.

186
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,200
Do right because others are
watching.

187
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,160
I mean, that's good, not.
Yet that's right.

188
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,320
People are always watching.
Yeah.

189
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,360
Yeah, it is.
You should do right even when

190
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,880
people aren't watching too.
Yeah right.

191
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,440
But we but we are a testimony of
Christ love, right?

192
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:06,920
And I like this last one.
You'll be happy serving others

193
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,680
where it's not just like all
don't do this, this is bad or

194
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:13,760
you should do this.
It's like, hey, there's benefit

195
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,280
too.
Not that you do this because

196
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,880
you'll that's not your primary
motivation necessarily, but it's

197
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,800
a good motivation that you know
people that serve others.

198
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,840
You just know this talking
people, someone who is really

199
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,200
giving, they overall just seem
like a happier person than

200
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,680
someone who's always taking,
taking and mind my mind.

201
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:32,080
It just you can just feel that.
Yeah, yeah.

202
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,680
You wear contacts, right?
I do.

203
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:36,800
And I wear contacts.
Yeah.

204
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,640
Who's your optometrist?
Maybe I.

205
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,760
Know well I go to them once
every six years, six years.

206
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,320
I buy daily contacts, I tell you
this and I just wear them like

207
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,080
like each daily contacts for
like 5 days and then I when I

208
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,920
have a year subscription, it's
good for five years.

209
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,920
It's my hack.
So you buy all of them up front

210
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,120
and then you just wear them,
wear them, wear.

211
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,640
Them.
Well, the first time I don't.

212
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:58,640
You aren't you concerned about
your prescription maybe

213
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,040
shifting?
It is changing.

214
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,320
I should go back.
I'm getting to the end.

215
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,080
I probably have maybe 6 pairs of
contacts left, so I'm like 30

216
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,680
days, six weeks.
Yeah.

217
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,520
So I need to go back.
I went last time I went to

218
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,840
someplace in Azalea here.
I was on a real sale, yeah.

219
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,240
I go to optical impressions.
She's very nice.

220
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,120
Very.
She's always trying to.

221
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,520
She's been surprised.
I'm 46.

222
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,840
She's like, are we getting
readers?

223
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,240
Are we like she's, she's always
like, are you going to have to,

224
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,200
you know, have some type of
bifocal contact?

225
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,000
And she seems like, and I'm
always like, I don't think so.

226
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,520
This was the first time I was
like, it's getting a little

227
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,200
difficult to see.
But what we figured out was, and

228
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,760
I think I mentioned this before,
as you age, the reason that is

229
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,280
gets harder to see is because
it's easier to see further away.

230
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,280
Well, that just reduced the
strength of my prescription and

231
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:50,040
now I can see close up again.
But she is she's, she's eagerly

232
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,760
anticipating me having to have
something like bifocals.

233
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,920
It's.
Great, just a a laugh in your

234
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:55,800
face.
I guess so.

235
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,000
I don't know why.
Honestly, that keeps the joy.

236
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:00,520
Yeah.
You know, And she knows.

237
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,760
I repeat, you're gonna eat even
more of me, you know?

238
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:03,840
That's right there.
There you go.

239
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,560
I love trifocals, you know.
What are they gonna think of

240
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:09,720
next?
I know quadfocals.

241
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,720
'Cause Pastor Drill said he does
have trifocals.

242
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,440
He has the, but he has the.
You really shouldn't call them

243
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,240
trifocals 'cause he has, They're
transient.

244
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:18,960
Yeah.
They, they, they, they're

245
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,640
transient.
So the, the curvature of the

246
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,440
lens changes.
So it's different as you go up.

247
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,560
Yeah, yeah.
Man, yeah, I I have you.

248
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,520
Have you ever worn a pair of
bifocals of like your

249
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,800
grandparents or something?
I'm sure I have.

250
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,120
My my father-in-law has bifocal
like sunglasses.

251
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,560
We went on a trip to Maine.
We were hiking.

252
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:39,280
I didn't have sunglass, like
where are my sunglasses?

253
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,760
And it's great until you're like
walking over a rock and if they

254
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,400
look down it's like it's like I
was like, wow, these.

255
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,800
They actually got to get used to
them.

256
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,480
I'm sure they work really well,
but it does make a difference.

257
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,000
Well, the whole reason we're
talking about this is because

258
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,960
Joel's getting used to his
trifles, and he was like having

259
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,680
to move up and down to try to
see where things were.

260
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,760
And the the point was we got to
keep right things in focus.

261
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,200
Yeah, everything in their proper
perspective and you know, some

262
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,880
things maybe, yeah, you really
do zoom in on some things like,

263
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,200
yeah, not a big deal, I think
takes a lot of wisdom.

264
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,560
This other analogy he had was at
a baseball game, T-ball game,

265
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:21,120
his grandson, and it is a really
good reminder thing they had for

266
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,680
the parents because if we know
anything about E sports, parents

267
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:27,240
are the worst.
Yeah, well, I would say UPS are

268
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:32,120
the worst, but.
Refs and then this great sign

269
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,840
that that says reminders from
your child's game or child,

270
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,440
whatever.
Oh, reminders from your child as

271
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,200
if your child is saying this.
OK, first one is I'm a kid.

272
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,600
So some perspective there.
Number two, it's just a game #3

273
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:51,160
my coach is a volunteer #4 the
umpires are humans and #5 is a

274
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,200
good one.
No college scholarships will be

275
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,280
handed out today.
Yeah.

276
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,960
It's good to keep in
perspective.

277
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,680
That that that that that is
good.

278
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:01,360
It's you know, it's walking that
fine line because of the other.

279
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,880
There should be also a sign that
should be like teach your kid to

280
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,440
try like tell your kids focus a
little bit.

281
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,200
But but I get the balance.
You know it can be, could be on

282
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,760
both sides of it.
It can be Yep.

283
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,320
So with that, let's just kind of
work through this passage.

284
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,400
This is chapter 15 verse one
through 2.

285
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,120
And again, I feel like, you
know, Paul starts off like

286
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,120
talking to the weaker brother
kind of hard, you know, in

287
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,440
chapter 14.
And then everything after that's

288
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,520
really kind of been pointed at
the stronger brother, which it's

289
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,160
like we have a stronger
responsibility to, to take care

290
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,160
of those weaker brethren, 'cause
you know, we're, we're the

291
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,840
stronger brothers.
Strong carry that weight.

292
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,080
And I love, I love that Paul
does come out and say, I guess

293
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,440
it helps when you're an apostle
and you're running on earth and

294
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,520
you're like, hey.
We're strong, yeah.

295
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,240
Yeah, We who are strong.
That's great. 15 Verse one says,

296
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,080
Now we who are strong ought to
bear the weaknesses of those

297
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,800
without strength and not just
please ourselves.

298
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,200
Like that's pretty pretty on its
surface.

299
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,880
You can you can understand that
that, you know, if we're going

300
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,240
to review a little bit and
define our terms, like what's it

301
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,040
mean to be strong?
What's it mean to be weak?

302
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,600
If you're strong, you fully
understand what it means to be

303
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,320
free in Christ.
You you don't get caught up in

304
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,920
things that don't matter.
You kind of get some of that

305
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,360
perspective.
We're not going to let the small

306
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,800
things necessarily bother you.
Yeah, If you're weak, you're

307
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,880
overly conscious of all the
minor things.

308
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:37,520
I knew someone who was very
concerned about a fellow brother

309
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,960
that we have who would on Sunday
evenings after, after a full day

310
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,720
of a church, would like, look at
the books of their business and

311
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,360
like, try to get things like,
hey, let me think about what's

312
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,120
tomorrow.
Are there any transactions I

313
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,040
need to look through and stuff
like on a Sunday evening?

314
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,600
And I'm like, I don't think
that's that that big of a deal,

315
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,080
you know?
It's because you're strong,

316
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,160
Michael.
That's because I'm strong.

317
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,600
Because you're strong.
And like, I just don't think

318
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,360
that I don't, I don't think that
that's what we're, I'm like, I

319
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,560
think it's OK, I think.
It's going to be fine.

320
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,600
I like what Paul says in that
verse 1 is when you're trying to

321
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,600
get things in the right focus,
one thing you got to keep in

322
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,200
mind is it's not to please
yourself, but I think that

323
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,680
that's a good thing.
Even if you're trying to correct

324
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,200
someone or help someone or show
someone, It's like the point is

325
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,000
not to be like I'm right, even
if that's what you're really

326
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,160
wanting to do all.
Right, verse 2 says each of us

327
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,560
is to please his neighbor for
his good, to his edification.

328
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,320
So the question is, what's it
mean to please the weak?

329
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,440
Some of the things down here
bear their weakness.

330
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,160
Act for the good, Be patient, be
kind, be loving.

331
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,360
It's like teaching a kid to ride
a bike.

332
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,480
You know you don't just like one
time and boom.

333
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,480
Why?
Don't you get this?

334
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,800
Yeah, a good thing you didn't
use the analogy teaching a kid

335
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,960
how to swim, because have you
seen like the one year old swim?

336
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,320
We just like throw them in the
water and they figure it out.

337
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,280
Though, Yeah, yeah.
So there's the old country

338
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,760
western where this guy, this mom
and this son, and she's like, he

339
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,600
doesn't know how to swim.
He doesn't know how to swim.

340
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,440
And so he just throws them into
the water.

341
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,600
And she starts screaming.
She's like, are you going to

342
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,200
save them?
No.

343
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,280
And she's like, I can't save
them.

344
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,000
I don't know how to swim either.
And he looks at her.

345
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,760
That that's pretty fun, but
that's good.

346
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,240
The other example was going on a
hike with a toddler where, you

347
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,040
know, you're trying to teach
your trip, but you're you're

348
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,600
right there with them.
You're not, you're not just, you

349
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,360
know, throwing them out there.
Speaking of going to hike with

350
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,920
the toddler, we did the walk for
water Saturday.

351
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:36,960
Oh, nice.
That's good.

352
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,120
Yeah, Yeah.
Phoebe carried water.

353
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,520
Now, she didn't fill the bucket
all the way full, but she

354
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,120
probably had a layer of that
much water in the bottom bucket,

355
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,560
so that's wow.
Good.

356
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,240
Good for her.
So when you do this walk,

357
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,560
everyone fills like a pail of
water kind of thing, Yeah.

358
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,640
The the majority of the walk is
an empty bucket.

359
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,280
They'll make it easy on you.
Then you fill it up so you get

360
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,920
a.
Sense of it, at least.

361
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,960
Right, so you fill it up with
dirty water.

362
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:02,760
Dirty water.
OK.

363
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,800
And then?
You put it into a pool and then

364
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,960
they have their machine sucking
it up and making it clean.

365
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,839
Nice.
That's that's pretty cool.

366
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,800
Object lesson.
Yeah, I like that.

367
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,839
That's good.
And and the last point here is

368
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:17,440
Paul puts this on the strung.
It's not like, you know, it's

369
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,079
like, yeah, with a toddler,
you're not going to, you're not

370
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:20,920
going to put all the weight and
everything on your kid.

371
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,920
You're going to be there to to
help out there.

372
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,000
Right so verse 3 Jesus example
for even Christ did not please

373
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,960
himself, but as is written, the
reproaches of those who reproach

374
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:39,280
you fell on me.
So that's a quote from Psalm 69

375
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,480
nine the last time I think we
mentioned Psalm 69.

376
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,520
I think I said the phrase
something like you should read

377
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,080
Psalm 69.
Do you remember this I?

378
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:47,520
Didn't.
Read it.

379
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,680
It's a good Psalm.
And I was talking to the

380
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,480
listeners.
I think you thought I was

381
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,920
talking to you and.
It was and I.

382
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,000
Read the whole thing.
I was like, I don't want to

383
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,880
interrupt them and make this
awkward, but yeah, that's great.

384
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,240
But yeah, so Psalm 69, nine says
for the zeal for zeal for your

385
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,880
house has consumed me, and the
reproaches of those who reproach

386
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,040
you have fallen on me.
So Christ living out that

387
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,560
example for us.
Yeah, I like that.

388
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,680
Turning that to us, we might
have to sacrifice to to live

389
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,880
this kind of thing out.
We have this illustration of mom

390
00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:23,320
making pancakes, and there's
this argument over who gets the

391
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,280
first pancake.
If you've got kids, being first

392
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,800
is like, that's like the best.
Like you have to be first.

393
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,400
Everything's always a race like
mine.

394
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,480
Can I have it first?
And you know, teaching moment,

395
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,480
you know, Jesus would put
someone else first.

396
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,080
And one of these kids was like,
well, other kid can be Jesus.

397
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,000
I was, I was like smart, smart
kid.

398
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,800
All right, Ryan, you be Jesus
today.

399
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,480
That that's great.
And so underneath that, you

400
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,960
know, think about that, do you
we really want to be like Jesus?

401
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,840
Because if you do really want to
be like Jesus, what that looks

402
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,920
like is not always, you know,
getting your way first.

403
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,440
That's good.
First for encouragement, for

404
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,480
whatever was written earlier
times was written for our

405
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,920
instruction so that through
perseverance and the

406
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,800
encouragement of the Scriptures,
we might have hope.

407
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,440
And the idea is that we would
have hope that this harmony,

408
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:16,360
this unity can be accomplished.
Even given the we have lots of

409
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:20,280
differences in our churches.
We could go down the list, you

410
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,800
know, different genders,
different, you know, cultural

411
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,200
backgrounds, different gifting,
different, you know, levels of

412
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,720
education, different, you know,
jobs, different income levels.

413
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,840
There's a whole bunch of
different things that we have.

414
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,800
Those differences can lead to
some friction points.

415
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,800
But in all of that we can we can
have hope that as the body of

416
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,480
Christ, we can have unity.
No, that that is so good.

417
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,160
Moving on to verse 5 and 6, Paul
writes.

418
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,280
Now may the God who gives
perseverance and encouragement

419
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,200
grant you to be at the same mind
with one another according to

420
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,040
Christ Jesus, so that with one
accord, you may with one voice

421
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,640
glorify God, the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

422
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,000
So a lot of a lot of echoes of
verse four kind of fleshing,

423
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,760
fleshing it out, have a harmony
in your mind.

424
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,080
We see this word perseverance
again, that that's important.

425
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,120
And then we see this word, you
know, one another, one accord,

426
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:18,240
one voice.
You know we want to glorify God

427
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,440
with that one voice of mind.
Working together.

428
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,000
All right, so verse 5 talking
about having harmony in mind,

429
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,360
verse 6 talking about glorifying
God in one voice in mind with

430
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:32,320
one accord.
There's always a joke about, you

431
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,000
know what cars were mentioned in
the in the Bible?

432
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,840
I like that there's a Greek word
that lies under this with one

433
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,440
accord.
It's a unique Greek word, used

434
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,440
ten of its 12 New Testament
occurrences in the book of Acts,

435
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,040
and it helps us understand the
uniqueness of the Christian

436
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,440
community.
I'm always terrible at saying

437
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,480
these Greek words, so I'll pass
it over to the Greek Greek

438
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:57,720
master.
Here I would just say

439
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,920
Homothumadon.
I love it, but that's probably

440
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:01,160
wrong.
But we'll, we'll go with it.

441
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:04,320
I like it.
It's a compound word, A, a, a

442
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,400
compound of two words meaning to
rush along and in unison.

443
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,600
And so the image, which I know
Michael's getting just excited

444
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,720
about right now, it's it's
musical.

445
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,520
A number of notes are sounded
which, while different,

446
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,080
harmonize and pitch and tone as
the instruments of a great

447
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,360
concert under the direction of a
concert master.

448
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,640
So the Holy Spirit blends
together the lives of members of

449
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,840
Christchurch that is coming
straight out of the Blue Letter

450
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,520
Bible.
Oh yeah, that's good, good

451
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,240
resource.
So any you should go listen to

452
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,640
Box Little Fugue in G minor.
Nice Little Fugue in G Minor

453
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,160
after the podcast is over.
Yeah, not now.

454
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,680
Have some respect.
But go listen to that and then

455
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,000
you'll hear these, you know, a
good example of notes that are

456
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,200
that are different and kind of
going all over, but they work

457
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,040
together to create this hole
that's in a unison you have.

458
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:56,280
The your pitch pipe on ya.
No, I, I do on my phone, you

459
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,600
know?
That should be a banter one

460
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,400
time.
Pitch pipes.

461
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:00,320
It's great.
It's great.

462
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,760
I love it.
And then, you know, we talked

463
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,000
about the Hallelujah chorus, you
know, this song that people like

464
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,200
solid B -.
I love it.

465
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,200
It's good, it's fine.
It's like it's not bad.

466
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,120
It's tough.
But I don't think it's a bad

467
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:14,640
song.
Just gets a lot of hype.

468
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,840
But but, but it's well known,
you know, people stand you.

469
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,200
Think it's a really good song,
but it doesn't live up to the

470
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,680
height that it gets.
Is that what you're saying?

471
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,520
Yeah, there's just so much.
I don't know, I, I, I need to

472
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,480
listen to it more.
A lot of pomp and circumstance.

473
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,920
Around it.
I don't think I ever sing it.

474
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,560
I'm who?
Who, who was this made for?

475
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,240
King George.
I'm not a King George fan.

476
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,760
I don't know who was this for.
It was written for a particular

477
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,760
program performed in front of
that king.

478
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:42,440
Gotcha.
Gotcha.

479
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,720
And it's unclear whether the
king stood up because of the

480
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,040
song or you stood up because he
was tired or he stood up for

481
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,240
some other reason.
But if the king stands up.

482
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,120
It's a big deal.
Well, you had to stand up too.

483
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,960
Yeah, I wouldn't.
I understand.

484
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:55,800
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So yeah.

485
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,880
Yeah, you can't sit while the
king is standing.

486
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,720
So that is why everyone stood
up.

487
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,720
It wasn't necessarily out of
reverence for the song, but it's

488
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,720
created a tradition.
But if you, I'm just throwing

489
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,480
out some things, but go listen
to Mannheim Steam Rollers,

490
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,440
Hallelujah course.
It's really.

491
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,360
It's really.
Maybe that'll change and I don't

492
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,440
think it's best fine don't come.
It's vibing.

493
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,320
I think it's fine.
I'm probably, I mean, if you had

494
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,840
a rank in all the of all your
favorite songs, we were to fall

495
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,320
like top 200 of all of them.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

496
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,320
Like like, you know, is it in
the top 1%?

497
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,200
Is it in the top 10%?
There's just so many different

498
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,360
categories of classical
Christian songs.

499
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,200
Probably at the top all time
songs.

500
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,160
Where do you stand?
OK.

501
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:42,160
But I will say that because Joel
played that our our Facebook

502
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:48,120
video is monetized now
monetizing, sharing, sharing the

503
00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:50,720
royalties with whoever owns the
copyright of that.

504
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:53,040
Wow.
But the point still stands.

505
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,560
If you've heard the Hallelujah
course, you know, it's like

506
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,560
different people are singing
different things and it comes

507
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,400
together or something like that,
you know, some musical thing

508
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,720
like that, you know, everyone
fits together.

509
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,800
So how does Paul apply this in
verses 7 through 9?

510
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,520
He says, therefore, in light of
all this, we are to accept one

511
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,840
another just as Christ also
accepted us to the glory of God.

512
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,040
For I say that Christ has become
a servant to the circumcision on

513
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,800
behalf of the truth of God, to
confirm the promises given to

514
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,360
the fathers, and for the
Gentiles to glorify God for his

515
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:26,760
mercy as it's written.
And then he'll, he'll continue

516
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,120
to go on.
We want to pause there and talk

517
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,440
about some of this good, good
application.

518
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,040
Yeah, I mean over and over again
you see the church being made-up

519
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:39,280
of Jews and Gentiles coming
together to be 1 body.

520
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:45,000
I just don't understand how I I
think extremes on the covenant

521
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,600
theology, extremes on
dispensation are both wrong.

522
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:50,400
You know what I'm saying?
I know.

523
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:51,680
You're saying?
Yeah.

524
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,560
This idea that, well, you know,
Jews are separate from, you

525
00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:01,000
know, a true Jew is an ethnic
Jew who believes and a Gentile,

526
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,400
someone you know, a, a, you
know, a believing Gentile.

527
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,720
We're all in the same body.
But if you if you want more on

528
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,080
that, check out the children's
song podcast.

529
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,360
We we cover that a little bit
too.

530
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,600
Anyway, carry on.
Yeah, that's right.

531
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,160
So, yeah.
But you know, we've, we've

532
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,360
become one and we are to serve
one another in Christ, and that

533
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,360
glorifies Him.
It's so good that this is the

534
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:24,040
example because this is like an
extreme example.

535
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,120
Like it's not like, you know,
the color of the carpet or

536
00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:29,400
something like that.
It's like this is like two

537
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,200
different cultures colliding
with significant.

538
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,840
Like we think our problems are
big, but it is a big deal if

539
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,200
you're like, hey, are we doing
the whole Passover thing this

540
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,120
year?
I mean, you know, how are you

541
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,160
fitting in some of these holy
days and stuff?

542
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,360
That's like a whole different
conversation that could be a lot

543
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,080
more challenging.
That is crazy 'cause you think

544
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:52,120
about even if you had gentiles
that didn't buy into some of the

545
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:54,200
meaning behind some of their
holidays, but they still wanted

546
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,480
to do those holidays and Jews
were like, we're not doing that

547
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,440
holiday.
Right, that's a good point.

548
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,360
Yeah, it could be crazy.
Verse 9, B through 12.

549
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:06,040
All right, so here's what was
written, what we left off

550
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,080
before.
Therefore, I will give praise to

551
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,360
you among the Gentiles, and I
will sing to your name.

552
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:15,960
Again he says, Rejoice, O
Gentiles, with his people, and

553
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,960
again praise the Lord, all you
Gentiles, and let all the

554
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,600
peoples praise him.
Again Isaiah says, there shall

555
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:28,240
come from the root of Jesse, and
he who rises arises to rule over

556
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,040
the Gentiles, and him shall the
Gentiles hope.

557
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,040
It's like there's so many.
Dude.

558
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,400
Old Testament.
References it's.

559
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,160
Like, how did you think?
How did they miss it?

560
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,240
And I know there's probably
stuff that we missed too, but it

561
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,840
just seems like it's so out
there.

562
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,720
No, because because you're
right.

563
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,760
It's like over and over.
If you are reading it in your

564
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,200
Bible, it's probably each little
quote is put to the side.

565
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,920
And this is, I don't get too
much on a tangent, but it

566
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,200
reminds me I was reading through
like if you're reading Luke's

567
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,440
gospel and Jesus like reads the
for whatever, reads the scroll,

568
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,600
rolls it up.
You know, today that's been

569
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,280
fulfilled.
Quoting Isaiah.

570
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,080
Everyone's first response is
like, they're amazed at his

571
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,800
words.
And you're like, oh, this is

572
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,720
going well.
And then he's like, oh, guess

573
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,600
he's like, don't say that.
You're gonna, you know, don't

574
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,600
say that kind of thing.
Because Elijah went and healed

575
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,640
the widow and tires and he
started talking about Naaman,

576
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,040
and then they started turning on
him, trying to kill him.

577
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,680
When Gentiles were in the mix,
it was like such a such a flip.

578
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,560
But you're right.
It's like all Gentiles were

579
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,840
mentioned, you know?
Even like go back to the

580
00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:34,360
Abrahamic covenant, it talks
about being a blessing to all

581
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:37,120
the nations of the earth like
and the all the nations of the

582
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:38,760
earth would would find hope in
him.

583
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,680
So it's crazy this is the plan
from the beginning.

584
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,480
Man, continue or we're going to
take a detour to 1st Corinthians

585
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,080
1031 through 33.
I think most people, if there's

586
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,040
like a short list of, you know,
15 or 20 verses, this might make

587
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,360
the list for a lot of people,
whether then you eat or drink,

588
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,800
whatever you do, do all to the
glory of God and stop there.

589
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That, that's what people.

590
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,880
Yeah, yeah.
And, and a lot of people,

591
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,000
probably the majority of people
don't fit it in this context and

592
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,360
conscience, these kind of
things.

593
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:09,240
And you know, when they think of
eating and drinking, they're

594
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,240
like just anything like.
Right.

595
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,520
Yeah.
That's so that's so good.

596
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,680
It continues on give no offense
either to Jews or to the Greeks

597
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,120
or to the Church of God.
Just as I also please all men in

598
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:25,480
all things not taking my own
prophet, but the prophet of the

599
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:32,280
many so that they may be saved.
Classic classic verses kind of

600
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,360
puts it in a little bit more
more perspective.

601
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:35,840
Pastor Jill asked that question
again.

602
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,480
Do you really want to be like be
like Jesus.

603
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,720
That's a good question to ask
because when it comes to some of

604
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,120
these specifics.
Yeah, that's good.

605
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:42,640
All right.
And then we have this

606
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,680
illustration of Chad as a kind
of a long illustration.

607
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,000
I'll just summarize.
Chad was not your average kid

608
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:55,440
picked on bullied mom, you know,
was always as a parent, it's

609
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,760
hard because, you know you're
trying to help your kid fit in

610
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,480
Chad comes homes like hey mom, I
want to do Valentine's.

611
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,200
She's like, you know, I just see
him getting hurt and but

612
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,160
encouraged him.
So he's spent that night putting

613
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:17,440
the Valentine's together, went
off to the day and mom just knew

614
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,800
he was going to come home hurt
and upset.

615
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,880
And what do you know, he comes
in and he says not a one, mom,

616
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,960
not a one.
And she's just upset because

617
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,960
she's thinking he's like saying
no one got me a Valentine.

618
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,320
He's like, I didn't forget
anyone.

619
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,600
I got every, you know, I
remember every single one.

620
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,120
There's the idea of giving
versus receiving.

621
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,960
I like that a lot.
And that perspective really

622
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,680
changes, changes a lot where
where your focus is at.

623
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,360
So after three sermons on how
can we get along?

624
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,760
I mean, if Romans is 16
chapters, there's a good bit of

625
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,840
text given over to this this
subject.

626
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,240
And then as we'll see in the
application, you know, the

627
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,240
Church of Corinth gets a good,
good lesson in this as well.

628
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,840
But we're going to application,
application point #1 why is it

629
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,800
so important?
We strive diligently to get

630
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,320
along.
Good thing to think through in

631
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,200
light of what, what, what?
Why is Paul saying it's

632
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,960
important?
What motivations does Paul give?

633
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,800
Because that's important.
What lies behind these commands?

634
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,800
And then pray for unity or
harmony at your local church.

635
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:28,480
I know churches, they have their
ups and downs and so, and if you

636
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,920
are having some discord at your
church, you know, like let,

637
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,280
don't let that fester.
Don't let bitterness, wrath,

638
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,440
malice, anger come up.
Pray that your church will be a

639
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,160
church, that it'll be quote UN
quote, singing harmony, probably

640
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,480
the holy of chorus, which we may
do for Easter.

641
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,200
That's what I hear.
That's what I hear.

642
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,320
That's crazy for the glory of
God.

643
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,640
Read First Corinthians 8 through
10.

644
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,000
Just kind of the other other
passage that deals extensively

645
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,800
with these kind of things.
Paul deals with getting along

646
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,960
despite very different
convictions all.

647
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,320
Right.
And lastly, are you living

648
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,240
personally to the glory of God
and all you do is the Holy

649
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:11,080
Spirit speaking in your life?
Are you about specific changes

650
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,880
that you need to make?
So are, you know, there may be

651
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,200
things that you know where
you're not doing all that you

652
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,680
can to do to get along or maybe
they're sin.

653
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,760
So those are always good to
clean up.

654
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,640
Great.
We are getting to the end,

655
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,200
Michael.
Just another page or two in the

656
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,200
old Bible.
They're going to have one more,

657
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,240
two more sermons on 15.
I could see that to.

658
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:40,840
Podcast and then 16, we're just
going to just walk in with these

659
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,040
just great people of the faith
no.

660
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,880
I can't wait.
That's great.

661
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,440
I hope your your kids should
just be object lessons so you'll

662
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,360
be like, you know, there you go.
I love it.

663
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,880
Anything else this passage to
add, Michael?

664
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:01,080
No, go love your neighbor.
That's our take.

665
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,000

Two.
