  Reading

  from

  Ephesians
• 0:59
  2:1
• 1:00
  10
• 1:00
  from
• 1:01
  the

  Message
• 1:02
  He
• 1:02
  Tore
• 1:02
  down
• 1:02
  the
• 1:02
  Wall
• 1:03
  it
• 1:03
  wasn't
• 1:04
  so
• 1:04
  long
• 1:04
  ago
• 1:05
  that
• 1:05
  you
• 1:05
  were
• 1:05
  mired
• 1:05
  in
• 1:06
  that
• 1:06
  old
• 1:06
  stagnant
• 1:07
  life
• 1:07
  of
• 1:07
  sin.
• 1:08
  You
• 1:09
  let
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  world,
• 1:09
  which
• 1:10
  doesn't
• 1:10
  know
• 1:10
  the
• 1:10
  first
• 1:11
  thing
• 1:11
  about
• 1:11
  living,
• 1:11
  tell
• 1:12
  you
• 1:12
  how
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  live.
• 1:13
  You
• 1:14
  filled
• 1:14
  your
• 1:14
  lungs
• 1:14
  with
• 1:15
  polluted
• 1:15
  unbelief
• 1:16
  and
• 1:16
  then
• 1:16
  exhaled
• 1:17
  disobedience.
• 1:19
  We
• 1:20
  all
• 1:20
  did
• 1:20
  it.
• 1:21
  All
• 1:21
  of
• 1:21
  us
• 1:21
  doing
• 1:22
  what
• 1:22
  we
• 1:22
  felt
• 1:23
  like
• 1:23
  doing
• 1:24
  when
• 1:24
  we
• 1:24
  felt
• 1:25
  like
• 1:25
  doing
• 1:25
  it.
• 1:25
  All
• 1:26
  of
• 1:26
  us
• 1:26
  in
• 1:26
  the
• 1:26
  same
• 1:26
  boat.
• 1:27
  It's
• 1:28
  a
• 1:28
  wonderful
• 1:28
  God
• 1:29
  didn't
• 1:29
  lose
• 1:29
  his
• 1:29
  temper
• 1:30
  and
• 1:30
  do
• 1:30
  away
• 1:30
  with
• 1:30
  a
• 1:31
  whole
• 1:31
  lot
• 1:31
  of
• 1:31
  us.
• 1:32
  Instead,
• 1:33
  immense
• 1:33
  in
• 1:33
  mercy
• 1:34
  and
• 1:34
  with
• 1:34
  an
• 1:35
  incredible
• 1:35
  love,
• 1:35
  he
• 1:36
  embraced
• 1:36
  us
• 1:37
  and
• 1:37
  took
• 1:37
  our
• 1:38
  sin
• 1:38
  dead
• 1:39
  lives
• 1:39
  and
• 1:39
  made
• 1:39
  us
• 1:40
  alive
• 1:40
  in
• 1:40
  Christ.
• 1:41
  He
• 1:42
  did
• 1:42
  all
• 1:42
  this
• 1:42
  on
• 1:42
  his
• 1:42
  own
• 1:43
  with
• 1:43
  no
• 1:43
  help
• 1:43
  from
• 1:43
  us.
• 1:45
  Then
• 1:45
  he
• 1:45
  picked
• 1:46
  us
• 1:46
  up
• 1:46
  and
• 1:46
  set
• 1:47
  us
• 1:47
  down
• 1:47
  in
• 1:47
  highest
• 1:48
  heaven
• 1:49
  in
• 1:49
  company
• 1:49
  with
• 1:50
  Jesus,
• 1:50
  our
• 1:50
  Messiah.
• 1:52
  Now
• 1:52
  God
• 1:53
  has
• 1:53
  us
• 1:53
  where
• 1:53
  he
• 1:53
  wants
• 1:54
  us
• 1:54
  with
• 1:55
  all
• 1:55
  the
• 1:55
  time
• 1:55
  in
• 1:55
  the
• 1:55
  world
• 1:56
  and
• 1:56
  the
• 1:56
  next
• 1:56
  to
• 1:56
  shower
• 1:57
  grace
• 1:57
  and
• 1:57
  kindness
• 1:58
  upon
• 1:59
  us
• 1:59
  in
• 1:59
  Christ
• 1:59
  Jesus,
• 2:01
  saving
• 2:01
  us
• 2:02
  all
• 2:02
  his
• 2:02
  idea
• 2:02
  and
• 2:02
  all
• 2:03
  his
• 2:03
  work.
• 2:04
  All
• 2:04
  we
• 2:04
  do
• 2:04
  is
• 2:04
  trust
• 2:05
  him
• 2:05
  enough
• 2:05
  to
• 2:05
  let
• 2:06
  him
• 2:06
  do
• 2:06
  it.
• 2:07
  It's
• 2:07
  God's
• 2:07
  gift
• 2:07
  from
• 2:08
  TARS
• 2:08
  from
• 2:08
  start
• 2:08
  to
• 2:09
  finish.
• 2:10
  We
• 2:10
  don't
• 2:10
  play
• 2:10
  the
• 2:10
  major
• 2:11
  role.
• 2:11
  If
• 2:11
  we
• 2:11
  did,
• 2:12
  he'd
• 2:12
  probably
• 2:13
  go
• 2:13
  on
• 2:13
  around
• 2:13
  bragging
• 2:14
  that
• 2:15
  we'd
• 2:15
  probably
• 2:16
  go
• 2:16
  around
• 2:16
  bragging
• 2:17
  that
• 2:17
  we'd
• 2:17
  done
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  whole
• 2:18
  thing.
• 2:19
  No,
• 2:19
  we
• 2:19
  neither
• 2:20
  make
• 2:20
  nor
• 2:20
  save
• 2:20
  ourselves.
• 2:22
  God
• 2:22
  does
• 2:22
  both
• 2:23
  the
• 2:23
  making
• 2:23
  and
• 2:23
  the
• 2:23
  saving.
• 2:24
  He
• 2:25
  creates
• 2:25
  each
• 2:25
  of
• 2:25
  us
• 2:26
  by
• 2:26
  Christ
• 2:26
  Jesus
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27
  join
• 2:27
  him
• 2:27
  in
• 2:28
  the
• 2:28
  work
• 2:28
  he
• 2:28
  does,
• 2:29
  the
• 2:30
  good
• 2:30
  work
• 2:30
  he
• 2:30
  has
• 2:30
  gotten
• 2:31
  ready
• 2:31
  for
• 2:31
  us
• 2:31
  to
• 2:31
  do.
• 2:32
  Work
• 2:32
  we'd
• 2:33
  better
• 2:34
  be
• 2:34
  doing.
• 2:36
  Well,
• 2:37
  my
• 2:37
  friend,
• 2:38
  that
• 2:38
  concludes
• 2:39
  the
• 2:39
  reading.
• 2:40
  And
• 2:40
  so
• 2:40
  I'm
• 2:40
  really
• 2:40
  glad
• 2:41
  you
• 2:41
  took
• 2:42
  a
• 2:42
  little
• 2:42
  time
• 2:42
  to
• 2:42
  spend
• 2:42
  with
• 2:42
  me
• 2:43
  today
• 2:43
  on
• 2:43
  this
• 2:43
  passage.
• 2:44
  It's
• 2:44
  a
• 2:44
  really
• 2:44
  good
• 2:44
  one.
• 2:45
  If
• 2:45
  you
• 2:45
  ever
• 2:46
  felt
• 2:46
  like
• 2:46
  you've
• 2:46
  had
• 2:46
  to
• 2:47
  earn
• 2:47
  your
• 2:47
  way
• 2:47
  into
• 2:47
  God's
• 2:48
  good
• 2:48
  graces,
• 2:48
  then
• 2:49
  this
• 2:49
  reading
• 2:49
  today
• 2:50
  is
• 2:50
  going
• 2:51
  to
• 2:51
  feel
• 2:51
  like
• 2:51
  someone
• 2:51
  just
• 2:52
  kind
• 2:52
  of
• 2:52
  opened
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  window,
• 2:53
  brought
• 2:53
  some
• 2:53
  fresh
• 2:53
  air
• 2:53
  into
• 2:53
  the
• 2:54
  room.
• 2:55
  So
• 2:55
  let's
• 2:56
  go.
• 2:57
  Two
• 2:57
  things
• 2:58
  to
• 2:58
  discover
• 2:58
  about
• 2:59
  today's
• 2:59
  reading.
• 2:59
  First,
• 3:01
  says
• 3:01
  here
• 3:01
  that
• 3:01
  all
• 3:02
  of
• 3:02
  us
• 3:02
  are
• 3:02
  in
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  same
• 3:02
  boat.
• 3:03
  And
• 3:04
  I
• 3:04
  think
• 3:04
  that
• 3:04
  little
• 3:04
  phrase
• 3:05
  is
• 3:05
  one
• 3:05
  of
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  most
• 3:05
  quietly
• 3:06
  radical
• 3:06
  things
• 3:06
  Paul
• 3:07
  ever
• 3:07
  says.
• 3:09
  Before
• 3:09
  he
• 3:09
  gets.
• 3:10
  Before
• 3:10
  he
• 3:10
  gets
• 3:10
  the
• 3:11
  good
• 3:11
  news
• 3:11
  of
• 3:11
  grace,
• 3:12
  he
• 3:12
  levels
• 3:13
  the
• 3:13
  playing
• 3:13
  field
• 3:13
  completely.
• 3:15
  Everybody
• 3:15
  was
• 3:15
  in
• 3:15
  the
• 3:16
  same
• 3:16
  mess.
• 3:17
  Not
• 3:17
  some
• 3:18
  people
• 3:18
  worse
• 3:18
  than
• 3:18
  others,
• 3:19
  not
• 3:19
  a
• 3:19
  ranking
• 3:20
  system
• 3:20
  of
• 3:20
  sinners,
• 3:22
  all
• 3:22
  of
• 3:22
  us
• 3:22
  in
• 3:22
  the
• 3:23
  same
• 3:23
  boat.
• 3:24
  And
• 3:24
  a
• 3:24
  progressive
• 3:24
  faith
• 3:25
  that
• 3:25
  takes
• 3:25
  this
• 3:25
  seriously
• 3:26
  because
• 3:26
  it
• 3:27
  dismantles
• 3:28
  one
• 3:28
  of
• 3:28
  religion's
• 3:29
  most
• 3:29
  toxic
• 3:29
  habits.
• 3:31
  That's
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  sorting
• 3:31
  of
• 3:31
  people
• 3:31
  into
• 3:32
  who's
• 3:32
  acceptable
• 3:32
  and
• 3:33
  who's
• 3:33
  not.
• 3:34
  When
• 3:34
  you
• 3:34
  really
• 3:35
  absorb
• 3:35
  the
• 3:35
  idea
• 3:36
  that
• 3:36
  every
• 3:36
  single
• 3:36
  person
• 3:36
  was
• 3:37
  in
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  same
• 3:37
  boat,
• 3:38
  it
• 3:39
  becomes
• 3:39
  very
• 3:39
  hard
• 3:39
  to
• 3:39
  look
• 3:40
  down
• 3:40
  on
• 3:40
  anyone.
• 3:41
  It
• 3:41
  becomes
• 3:41
  impossible
• 3:42
  to
• 3:42
  say,
• 3:42
  well,
• 3:42
  at
• 3:42
  least
• 3:43
  I'm
• 3:43
  not
• 3:43
  like
• 3:43
  them.
• 3:45
  And
• 3:45
  my
• 3:45
  wife
• 3:45
  and
• 3:45
  I
• 3:45
  love
• 3:46
  to
• 3:46
  travel,
• 3:46
  and
• 3:46
  we
• 3:46
  hike
• 3:47
  in
• 3:47
  wooded
• 3:47
  parks
• 3:48
  quite
• 3:48
  a
• 3:48
  bit.
• 3:49
  One
• 3:49
  of
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  most
• 3:49
  humbling
• 3:50
  things

  about
• 3:50
  being
• 3:50
  on
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  trail
• 3:51
  is
• 3:52
  that
• 3:52
  the
• 3:52
  mountain
• 3:52
  hike
• 3:53
  doesn't
• 3:53
  care
• 3:53
  about
• 3:54
  your
• 3:54
  resume.
• 3:54
  It
• 3:55
  doesn't
• 3:55
  care
• 3:56
  anything
• 3:56
  about
• 3:56
  your
• 3:57
  abilities
• 3:57
  or
• 3:58
  anything
• 3:58
  like
• 3:58
  that.

  Rain
• 3:59
  falls
• 4:00
  on
• 4:00
  every
• 4:00
  hiker
• 4:00
  the
• 4:01
  same
• 4:01
  way
• 4:01
  gravity
• 4:02
  works
• 4:02
  on
• 4:03
  everybody
• 4:03
  equally.
• 4:04
  We're
• 4:05
  all
• 4:05
  on
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  same
• 4:05
  trail,
• 4:06
  dealing
• 4:06
  with
• 4:06
  the
• 4:06
  same
• 4:06
  terrain.
• 4:07
  That's
• 4:08
  what
• 4:08
  Paul
• 4:08
  is
• 4:08
  saying
• 4:09
  here.
• 4:10
  Before
• 4:10
  grace
• 4:11
  showed
• 4:11
  up,
• 4:11
  we
• 4:11
  were
• 4:11
  all
• 4:12
  mired
• 4:12
  in
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12
  same
• 4:13
  stagnant
• 4:13
  water.
• 4:14
  So
• 4:15
  the
• 4:15
  next
• 4:15
  time
• 4:15
  you're
• 4:15
  tempted
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  judge
• 4:16
  somebody
• 4:17
  else's
• 4:17
  mess,
• 4:18
  maybe
• 4:19
  we
• 4:19
  should
• 4:19
  remember
• 4:20
  we
• 4:20
  were
• 4:20
  sitting
• 4:21
  on
• 4:21
  our
• 4:21
  own
• 4:22
  second
• 4:22
  point
• 4:23
  to
• 4:23
  ponder.
• 4:24
  Saving
• 4:24
  is
• 4:24
  all
• 4:25
  his
• 4:25
  idea
• 4:25
  and
• 4:25
  all
• 4:26
  his
• 4:26
  work.
• 4:27
  This
• 4:27
  might
• 4:27
  be
• 4:28
  one
• 4:28
  of
• 4:28
  the
• 4:28
  more
• 4:28
  liberating
• 4:29
  sentences
• 4:29
  in
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  entire
• 4:30
  letter
• 4:31
  of
• 4:31
  Paul.
• 4:33
  We
• 4:33
  didn't
• 4:33
  come
• 4:33
  up
• 4:33
  with
• 4:34
  all
• 4:34
  this.
• 4:34
  We
• 4:34
  didn't
• 4:34
  earn
• 4:35
  it.
• 4:35
  We
• 4:35
  didn't
• 4:36
  perform
• 4:36
  our
• 4:36
  way
• 4:37
  into
• 4:37
  it.
• 4:38
  Grace
• 4:39
  was
• 4:39
  God's
• 4:39
  idea
• 4:39
  from
• 4:40
  the
• 4:40
  start,
• 4:40
  and
• 4:40
  God
• 4:41
  did
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  heavy
• 4:41
  lifting
• 4:42
  from
• 4:42
  start
• 4:42
  to
• 4:42
  finish.
• 4:43
  Now,
• 4:44
  here's
• 4:44
  why
• 4:44
  this
• 4:44
  matters
• 4:45
  so
• 4:45
  much,
• 4:45
  because
• 4:45
  a
• 4:45
  lot
• 4:46
  of
• 4:46
  us
• 4:46
  grew
• 4:46
  up
• 4:46
  in
• 4:46
  church
• 4:47
  cultures
• 4:48
  where
• 4:48
  salvation
• 4:49
  was
• 4:49
  kind
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  like
• 4:49
  a
• 4:49
  transaction.
• 4:51
  If
• 4:51
  you
• 4:51
  believe
• 4:51
  the
• 4:52
  right
• 4:52
  thing,
• 4:52
  say
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  right
• 4:53
  prayers,
• 4:53
  behave
• 4:53
  the
• 4:54
  right
• 4:54
  way,
• 4:54
  then
• 4:55
  God
• 4:55
  will
• 4:55
  love
• 4:56
  you.
• 4:56
  But
• 4:57
  Paul
• 4:57
  flips
• 4:57
  that
• 4:58
  around
• 4:58
  completely.
• 4:59
  God
• 5:00
  loves
• 5:00
  us
• 5:00
  while
• 5:00
  we're
• 5:01
  still
• 5:01
  stuck
• 5:01
  in
• 5:01
  the
• 5:01
  muck.
• 5:02
  And
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  embrace
• 5:04
  comes
• 5:04
  first,
• 5:05
  then
• 5:05
  the
• 5:06
  transformation
• 5:06
  follows.
• 5:08
  Every
• 5:08
  week
• 5:09
  on
• 5:09
  my
• 5:09
  cancer
• 5:09
  related
• 5:09
  podcast,
• 5:10
  I
• 5:10
  talk
• 5:10
  with
• 5:10
  people
• 5:11
  who
• 5:11
  are
• 5:12
  wrestling
• 5:12
  with
• 5:13
  whether
• 5:13
  they're
• 5:13
  enough,
• 5:14
  strong
• 5:15
  enough,
• 5:15
  faithful
• 5:15
  enough,
• 5:15
  positive
• 5:16
  enough.
• 5:17
  And
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  answer
• 5:18
  from
• 5:18
  this
• 5:18
  passage
• 5:19
  is
• 5:19
  stunning.
• 5:21
  You
• 5:21
  were
• 5:21
  never
• 5:21
  supposed
• 5:21
  to
• 5:22
  be
• 5:22
  enough
• 5:22
  on
• 5:22
  your
• 5:22
  own.
• 5:23
  That
• 5:23
  was
• 5:23
  never
• 5:24
  the
• 5:24
  arrangement.
• 5:25
  God
• 5:25
  does
• 5:26
  both
• 5:26
  the
• 5:26
  making
• 5:26
  and
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  saving.
• 5:27
  Your
• 5:27
  job
• 5:27
  is
• 5:28
  to
• 5:28
  trust
• 5:28
  enough
• 5:28
  to
• 5:29
  let
• 5:29
  it
• 5:29
  happen.
• 5:30
  After
• 5:31
  34
• 5:31
  years
• 5:31
  of
• 5:31
  marriage
• 5:32
  and
• 5:32
  raising
• 5:32
  three
• 5:33
  adult
• 5:33
  kids
• 5:34
  who
• 5:34
  are
• 5:34
  now
• 5:34
  living
• 5:34
  amazing
• 5:35
  lives
• 5:35
  on
• 5:35
  their
• 5:35
  own,
• 5:36
  I
• 5:36
  could
• 5:36
  tell
• 5:37
  you
• 5:37
  one
• 5:37
  of
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  best
• 5:37
  things
• 5:37
  in
• 5:38
  my
• 5:38
  life
• 5:38
  weren't
• 5:39
  things
• 5:39
  I
• 5:40
  manufactured.
• 5:41
  There
• 5:41
  were
• 5:41
  things
• 5:42
  I
• 5:42
  received
• 5:43
  and
• 5:44
  participated
• 5:44
  in.
• 5:45
  That's
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  rhythm
• 5:47
  that
• 5:47
  Paul
• 5:48
  is
• 5:48
  describing
• 5:48
  here.
• 5:48
  Grace
• 5:49
  arrives
• 5:50
  first,
• 5:51
  then
• 5:51
  we
• 5:52
  get
• 5:52
  to
• 5:52
  join
• 5:52
  into
• 5:52
  the
• 5:53
  work.
• 5:54
  So
• 5:56
  that's
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  ending.
• 5:57
  Don't
• 5:57
  miss
• 5:57
  it.
• 5:57
  We're
• 5:58
  created
• 5:58
  to
• 5:58
  join
• 5:59
  him
• 5:59
  in
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  work
• 5:59
  he
• 5:59
  does,
• 6:00
  the
• 6:01
  good
• 6:01
  work
• 6:01
  he
• 6:01
  has
• 6:01
  gotten
• 6:02
  ready
• 6:02
  for
• 6:02
  us
• 6:02
  to
• 6:02
  do.
• 6:03
  Grace
• 6:04
  doesn't
• 6:04
  make
• 6:04
  us
• 6:05
  passive.
• 6:05
  It
• 6:06
  sets
• 6:06
  us
• 6:06
  free
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  actually
• 6:07
  do
• 6:08
  something
• 6:09
  meaningful
• 6:09
  without
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  exhausting
• 6:10
  burden
• 6:11
  of
• 6:11
  trying
• 6:12
  to
• 6:12
  prove
• 6:12
  ourselves
• 6:13
  worthy.
• 6:14
  We
• 6:15
  get
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  be
• 6:15
  a
• 6:15
  part
• 6:15
  of
• 6:16
  that,
• 6:16
  of
• 6:16
  that
• 6:16
  energy.
• 6:17
  So
• 6:18
  here's
• 6:18
  your
• 6:18
  action
• 6:18
  step
• 6:19
  for
• 6:19
  today.
• 6:20
  Somewhere
• 6:20
  you're
• 6:20
  going
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  be
• 6:21
  tempted
• 6:21
  to
• 6:22
  earn
• 6:22
  love
• 6:23
  from
• 6:23
  God.
• 6:24
  You're
• 6:25
  going
• 6:25
  to
• 6:25
  be
• 6:25
  from
• 6:26
  a
• 6:26
  co
• 6:26
  worker,
• 6:26
  family
• 6:27
  member
• 6:27
  for
• 6:27
  yourself.
• 6:27
  And
• 6:27
  when
• 6:28
  that
• 6:28
  moment
• 6:28
  comes,
• 6:29
  I
• 6:29
  want
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  to
• 6:29
  pause
• 6:30
  and
• 6:30
  say
• 6:30
  quietly,
• 6:31
  even
• 6:31
  if
• 6:32
  it's
• 6:32
  just
• 6:32
  in
• 6:32
  your
• 6:32
  own
• 6:32
  head,
• 6:33
  I
• 6:33
  don't
• 6:33
  have
• 6:33
  to
• 6:33
  earn
• 6:34
  this.
• 6:35
  Let
• 6:35
  that
• 6:35
  sink
• 6:35
  in.
• 6:36
  Not
• 6:36
  as
• 6:36
  a
• 6:36
  reason
• 6:37
  to
• 6:37
  do
• 6:37
  nothing,
• 6:38
  but
• 6:38
  as
• 6:38
  a
• 6:38
  foundation
• 6:39
  to
• 6:39
  do
• 6:39
  everything
• 6:40
  from
• 6:40
  a
• 6:40
  place
• 6:40
  of
• 6:40
  freedom
• 6:41
  instead
• 6:41
  of
• 6:41
  fear.
• 6:42
  Grace
• 6:43
  got
• 6:43
  here
• 6:43
  before
• 6:43
  you
• 6:44
  did.
• 6:44
  Rest
• 6:45
  in
• 6:45
  that
• 6:45
  for
• 6:45
  even
• 6:46
  just
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  few
• 6:46
  seconds.
• 6:48
  When
• 6:48
  you
• 6:49
  come
• 6:49
  back
• 6:49
  and
• 6:49
  have
• 6:49
  a
• 6:49
  prayer
• 6:49
  here
• 6:49
  in
• 6:50
  just
• 6:50
  a
• 6:50
  minute.
• 6:50
  Didn't
• 6:51
  want
• 6:51
  you
• 6:51
  to
• 6:51
  know
• 6:51
  that.
• 6:51
  We
• 6:51
  have
• 6:51
  a
• 6:52
  great
• 6:52
  resource
• 6:52
  for
• 6:53
  you.
• 6:53
  We're
• 6:54
  over
• 6:54
  at
• 6:54
  our
• 6:54
  website,
• 6:55
  Voice
• 6:55
  of
• 6:55
  God
• 6:55
  Daily.
• 6:56
  It's
• 6:56
  called
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  ABC
• 6:57
  123
• 6:59
  Bible
• 6:59
  Study
• 7:00
  Method.
• 7:01
  Let's
• 7:01
  pray
• 7:02
  God.
• 7:03
  A
• 7:03
  lot
• 7:03
  of
• 7:03
  us
• 7:03
  are
• 7:03
  tired.
• 7:04
  We're
• 7:04
  tired
• 7:04
  of
• 7:04
  performing,
• 7:05
  tired
• 7:06
  of
• 7:06
  trying
• 7:06
  to.
• 7:07
  To
• 7:07
  be
• 7:07
  enough.
• 7:08
  Tired
• 7:08
  of
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  voice
• 7:09
  in
• 7:09
  our
• 7:09
  heads
• 7:09
  that
• 7:09
  says
• 7:10
  we
• 7:10
  haven't
• 7:11
  done
• 7:11
  enough
• 7:11
  to
• 7:11
  deserve
• 7:12
  your
• 7:12
  love.
• 7:13
  And
• 7:13
  then
• 7:13
  we
• 7:13
  read
• 7:14
  something
• 7:14
  like
• 7:14
  this,
• 7:14
  and
• 7:15
  it's
• 7:15
  almost
• 7:15
  too
• 7:15
  good
• 7:15
  to
• 7:15
  believe
• 7:17
  that
• 7:17
  saving
• 7:17
  was
• 7:18
  your
• 7:18
  idea,
• 7:18
  that
• 7:19
  you
• 7:19
  embraced
• 7:19
  us
• 7:19
  in
• 7:19
  the
• 7:19
  middle
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  our
• 7:20
  mess,
• 7:21
  that
• 7:21
  you
• 7:21
  did
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  heavy
• 7:22
  lifting
• 7:22
  and
• 7:23
  you
• 7:23
  are,
• 7:23
  and
• 7:23
  you're
• 7:23
  not
• 7:24
  done
• 7:24
  showering
• 7:24
  kindness
• 7:25
  on
• 7:25
  us.
• 7:26
  Help
• 7:26
  us
• 7:26
  to
• 7:26
  actually
• 7:27
  receive
• 7:27
  that
• 7:27
  today,
• 7:28
  not
• 7:29
  just
• 7:29
  as
• 7:29
  theology,
• 7:30
  but
• 7:30
  as
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  truest
• 7:31
  thing
• 7:31
  about
• 7:31
  our
• 7:31
  lives.
• 7:32
  Then,
• 7:33
  from
• 7:33
  that
• 7:33
  place
• 7:33
  of
• 7:34
  being
• 7:34
  loved
• 7:34
  and
• 7:35
  free,
• 7:35
  help
• 7:35
  us
• 7:35
  join
• 7:35
  in
