1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,020
Sing like never before, O my soul, I'll worship your holy name.

2
00:00:14,020 --> 00:00:26,120
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul, Worship his holy name.

3
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:39,200
Sin like never before, oh my soul, I'll worship your holy name.

4
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:46,360
Yes, I will worship your holy name.

5
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:53,000
Lord, I'll worship your holy name.

6
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,540
you

7
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:57,460
Thank you.

8
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:27,460
Thank you.

9
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:57,460
Thank you.

10
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:22,800
Now, before we come to communion, we're going to sing together, Man of Sorrows, and as

11
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,640
we spend some time looking to Jesus. I would encourage you, if you want to partake in communion,

12
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:33,820
there are communion elements on the back table. We're thankful that he has saved us and that he

13
00:09:33,820 --> 00:09:38,320
has brought us into this community. I know it's been said a bunch this morning, but it is very

14
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:45,700
heartwarming with all of us and with the young people and the older people. I'm just very

15
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:49,080
encouraged by our church. Let's go ahead and sing Man of Sorrows.

16
00:09:52,800 --> 00:10:07,200
Man of sorrows, Lamb of God, by his own betrayal.

17
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:21,360
The sin of man and wrath of God has been on Jesus' name.

18
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:37,740
Silent as He stood, accused, beaten, mocked, and scorned

19
00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:50,520
Bowing to the Father's will, He took a crown of thorns

20
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:59,420
Oh, that rugged cross, my salvation

21
00:10:59,420 --> 00:11:05,800
Where your love poured out over me

22
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:12,260
Now my soul cries out, hallelujah

23
00:11:12,260 --> 00:11:18,980
Praise and honor unto thee

24
00:11:18,980 --> 00:11:34,180
Send up heaven, God's own Son, to purchase and redeem

25
00:11:34,180 --> 00:11:46,600
And reconcile the very ones who nailed Him to that tree

26
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:53,780
Oh, that rugged cross, my salvation

27
00:11:53,780 --> 00:12:00,360
Where your love poured out over me

28
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,760
Now my soul cries out, Hallelujah

29
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:12,780
Praise and honor unto thee

30
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:29,400
Now my debt is paid, it is paid in full, by the precious blood that my Jesus spilled.

31
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:42,080
Now the curse of sin has no hold on me, whom the Son sets free, O is free indeed.

32
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:55,000
Now my debt is paid, it is paid in full By the precious blood that my Jesus filled

33
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:07,780
Now the curse of sin has no hold on me When the sun sets free, O is free indeed

34
00:13:07,780 --> 00:13:33,780
Oh, that rugged cross, my salvation, where your love poured out over me, now my soul cries out, hallelujah, praise and honor unto thee.

35
00:13:37,780 --> 00:13:48,640
See the stone is rolled away, behold the empty tomb.

36
00:13:48,640 --> 00:14:01,640
Hallelujah, God be praised, He's risen from the grave.

37
00:14:02,740 --> 00:14:27,840
Oh that rugged cross, my salvation, where your love poured out over me, now my soul cries out, hallelujah, praise and honor unto thee.

38
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:33,680
Praise and honor unto thee.

39
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:03,240
in the sense that he wasn't one of the first 12, but he came to study Jesus later and he went around

40
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,100
and talked to a lot of people and that's how he got his information. He was writing for a guy named

41
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:13,860
Theophilus who probably paid him to write this history of Jesus and of his life. And in chapter

42
00:15:13,860 --> 00:15:21,600
22 of his first book, in verse 7, he records this last supper, the communion meal that we're getting

43
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,980
ready to take. And again, he probably got his information from Matthew and Peter and the people

44
00:15:26,980 --> 00:15:31,580
who were there. But he writes this, he says, now the festival of unleavened bread arrived

45
00:15:31,580 --> 00:15:38,400
when the Passover lamb is sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John ahead and said, go and prepare the

46
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:44,600
Passover meal so we can eat it together. We jump down to verse 15. So Peter and John have gone where

47
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,760
Jesus told them to. They've prepared the meal, which was a, you know, kind of an elaborate thing.

48
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:54,300
There was a whole lot to preparing this meal. And in verse 15, we read this, Jesus said,

49
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,260
I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering begins.

50
00:15:59,260 --> 00:16:05,480
For I tell you now that I won't eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

51
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:11,460
Now, we, 2,000 years later, we have the benefit of hindsight, of understanding what Jesus was talking about here.

52
00:16:11,460 --> 00:16:15,480
But the reality is, these guys sitting around the table, they didn't really have that benefit of hindsight.

53
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,860
They didn't really understand necessarily what was happening.

54
00:16:18,860 --> 00:16:23,100
So we jump down now to verse 19, and we read this.

55
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:28,880
he being Jesus, took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave

56
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:35,300
it to the disciples saying, this is my body, which is given for you. Do this, meaning eat this bread

57
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:41,620
in remembrance of me, or do this to remember me. After supper, he took another cup of wine and said,

58
00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:46,960
this cup is the new covenant between God and his people, an agreement confirmed with my blood,

59
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:53,100
which is poured out as a sacrifice for you. Now, the reality is those guys sitting in this room,

60
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:56,940
like they probably should have been offended by what Jesus was doing here because Passover

61
00:16:56,940 --> 00:17:01,780
was this super sacred thing for the Jewish people, right? They're remembering that God,

62
00:17:01,780 --> 00:17:07,460
when they were slaves in Egypt, as a final act to get Pharaoh to finally acquiesce and let his

63
00:17:07,460 --> 00:17:12,780
people, let the Jewish people free, God sent his spirit through and he killed all of the firstborn,

64
00:17:12,780 --> 00:17:16,180
but he was passing over the houses where they had painted the blood of the lamb.

65
00:17:16,180 --> 00:17:20,220
So this was an unbelievable ceremony of remembrance for the Jewish people.

66
00:17:20,220 --> 00:17:23,460
And here is Jesus sitting there at the table with them and saying,

67
00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:27,040
hey, from now on, when you celebrate this really special thing

68
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,740
that's been celebrated at this point for a long, long time,

69
00:17:29,740 --> 00:17:33,060
you're not going to think about what God has done for you.

70
00:17:33,060 --> 00:17:36,480
You're going to think about what I am getting ready to do for you.

71
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,960
And it really should have probably made them all get up and leave.

72
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,220
But his message to them was, remember me.

73
00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:49,140
remember me. I spent a whole lot of years as a Christian worried more about the how and the when

74
00:17:49,140 --> 00:17:54,680
of partaking of this meal. Things like do I really break the bread, right? It says Jesus broke the

75
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:59,520
bread. Like do I actually have to break the bread or am I doing it wrong if I don't? Should we only

76
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,320
have like one cup and one loaf? Because again that's what Jesus did. Like there was a common

77
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,400
loaf of bread and he broke it and there's one cup. Does it have to be on a Sunday? Like what happens

78
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:15,680
if by 11 59 on Sunday night I haven't taken communion like if I die at 1201 am I going

79
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,240
straight to hell like is it just an express lane that I'm headed there you know do I have to do it

80
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:25,540
every single Sunday what happens if I miss a Sunday and as I spent all those years worried

81
00:18:25,540 --> 00:18:31,980
about how and when I partook of this meal I was missing out on the big picture of the why

82
00:18:31,980 --> 00:18:36,620
Jesus understood what was getting ready to happen to him and his friends didn't and he knew

83
00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:41,900
that as they carried on their ministry because his ministry on earth was getting ready to come

84
00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:46,960
to an end that they were going to need something they were going to need this memorial so that

85
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:52,100
every time they got together and they broke the bread and they drank of this cup they would think

86
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:58,340
back to that night in this upper room where they another account of it literally reads that they

87
00:18:58,340 --> 00:19:03,420
were reclining on Jesus like that's how intimate this situation was he's with his best friends

88
00:19:03,420 --> 00:19:08,680
getting ready to die, they would think back to that night and they would remember what Jesus did.

89
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:14,080
And I really believe that that is Jesus's message to us. He was so eager to partake of this meal.

90
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:20,300
Years later, Paul, who got his information directly from Jesus, kind of more miraculously

91
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:27,420
than we do, he records this in 1 Corinthians 11, 23. For I pass on to you what I received from

92
00:19:27,420 --> 00:19:32,120
the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread and

93
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:36,560
gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, this is my body which is given

94
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:41,140
for you. Do this in remembrance for me. In the same way, he took the cup of wine, saying this cup is

95
00:19:41,140 --> 00:19:46,160
the new covenant between God and his people, an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this to

96
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,280
remember me as often as you drink it. For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are

97
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,680
announcing the Lord's death until he comes again. Paul goes on to say that one of the things we need

98
00:19:54,680 --> 00:20:00,220
to do when we partake of this is we need to examine ourselves. As we were singing that song, I thought

99
00:20:00,220 --> 00:20:03,740
to myself, you know, I've always looked at that and said, well, I need to like understand what I'm

100
00:20:03,740 --> 00:20:08,480
doing wrong, which I think is the true part of like examining myself. But it also gives us an

101
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:14,540
opportunity to do what Jesus said, which is remember him and remember the price that he paid for our

102
00:20:14,540 --> 00:20:19,600
sins. So yes, we're sinful and yes, we have to examine the things that we've done that continue

103
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,420
to separate us from God. But it's also an opportunity for us to remember the sacrifice

104
00:20:24,420 --> 00:20:29,100
that Jesus was willing to pay for our sins. Will you pray with me real quick and then we'll take the

105
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:33,880
communion. God, we love you. We just thank you for this time that we have to gather here. We thank

106
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,580
you for this remembrance that we get to have here. We thank you for Jesus, for his willingness to go

107
00:20:38,580 --> 00:20:44,020
to the cross, for his eagerness to sit in that upper room with his followers and share this last

108
00:20:44,020 --> 00:20:49,580
meal, to establish this last supper, this communion that we get to do on a regular basis, Father, so

109
00:20:49,580 --> 00:20:54,900
that we can remember back to the sacrifice that he made. He loved us, and he loved us enough to take

110
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:59,920
on all of our sins even though he was sinless father he was willing to take on all of our sins

111
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:04,880
to make us right with you again so that we could truly call you our heavenly father and we just

112
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:10,740
thank you for that we thank you for Jesus in his name amen so if you will we take the the bread and

113
00:21:10,740 --> 00:21:15,280
just like Jesus said we're going to break it and we're going to partake and this is his body and

114
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:22,760
we're going to remember him and then likewise if you just flip your uh thing over you've got the

115
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,620
The cup, which represents Jesus' blood.

116
00:21:24,620 --> 00:21:26,020
And if you'll take that with me now.

117
00:21:26,020 --> 00:21:30,600
Will you just bow with me one more time?

118
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,120
God, thank you. Thank you for this communion meal.

119
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:34,320
I thank you for all these people.

120
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,000
I thank you for Jesus, for his sacrifice,

121
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,840
and for the love that he continues to have for us today.

122
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,440
We pray this all in his name. Amen.

123
00:21:52,240 --> 00:22:01,380
We've been moving through the book of Joshua, and before we dive into the 23rd chapter this morning,

124
00:22:01,380 --> 00:22:05,600
I just want to read from that. We're not going to read the entire chapter.

125
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,500
We're just going to read the first 11 verses.

126
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:16,280
This is one of three sort of major assemblies of the people of Israel.

127
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:21,660
The first one we looked at last week, which was kind of an angry emergency.

128
00:22:21,660 --> 00:22:26,900
They're doing something wrong and we don't like it, so let's go to war kind of assembly.

129
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:33,540
This morning, Joshua is going to have sort of a smaller assembly where he gathers the leaders and the elders,

130
00:22:33,540 --> 00:22:37,900
sort of the people who are in leadership among the tribes.

131
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:40,180
He's going to essentially give them his last words.

132
00:22:40,180 --> 00:22:43,360
He says, I'm going to leave this earth before too long.

133
00:22:43,780 --> 00:22:50,360
And then next week in Joshua 24, we'll see as he summons all the people and they renew their covenant with God.

134
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:52,800
So I'm going to go ahead and read from God's word.

135
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:58,180
A long time afterward, when the Lord had given Israel from all their surrounding enemies,

136
00:22:58,180 --> 00:23:00,740
and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,

137
00:23:00,740 --> 00:23:05,920
Joshua summoned all Israel, its elders and its heads, its judges and officers, and said to them,

138
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,560
I am now old and advanced in years.

139
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:13,340
And you have seen that the Lord your God has done to all these nations for your sake,

140
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,640
for it is the Lord your God who fought for you.

141
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:21,020
Behold, I have allotted to you as an inheritance for your tribes those nations that remain,

142
00:23:21,020 --> 00:23:26,640
along with the nations that I have already cut off from the Jordan River to the great sea in the west.

143
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,800
The Lord your God will push them back before you and drive them out of your sight,

144
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,540
and you shall possess their land, just as the Lord your God has promised you.

145
00:23:35,540 --> 00:23:39,960
Therefore, be strong to keep and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses,

146
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,320
turning aside from neither the right nor to the left.

147
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,980
that you may not mix with these nations remaining among you or make mention of the names of their

148
00:23:47,980 --> 00:23:53,800
gods or swear by them or serve or bow down to them but you shall cling to the Lord your God

149
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:59,680
just as you have done to this day for the Lord has driven out before you great and strong nations

150
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,980
and as for you no man has been able to stand before you to this day one man of you puts flight

151
00:24:05,980 --> 00:24:12,240
to flight a thousand since it is the Lord your God who fights for you just as he promised be

152
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:20,480
careful, therefore, to love the Lord your God. This is the word of the Lord. Let's pray. Father,

153
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:26,840
as we approach your word this morning, we see that you are the one who gives the victory.

154
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:35,540
For many of us, we come to this moment encouraged, encouraged and strengthened by you. But we also

155
00:24:35,540 --> 00:24:42,220
know that in our midst there are those who are struggling with the chaos of life. They're

156
00:24:42,220 --> 00:24:51,500
struggling with uncertainty. They are fearful. They're unsure. They're grieving loss. And so we

157
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:57,760
ask this morning that as we look at Joshua's words, as they direct us to this most important

158
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:03,880
truth that we love you with all that we are, that we are not distracted and we are not discouraged,

159
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:09,260
that you would lift us up, you would point us to yourself, and that you would help us.

160
00:25:09,260 --> 00:25:11,700
It's in Jesus' name that we pray. Amen.

161
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:20,520
So one of the best Christmas gifts that my wife ever got me, she didn't actually pay for.

162
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,740
I woke up on Christmas morning and she had gotten together with some friends,

163
00:25:23,740 --> 00:25:28,420
and they were getting rid of a truck, which should give you an idea of the state of the truck.

164
00:25:28,420 --> 00:25:32,120
And so she had acquired this truck for me.

165
00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:50,340
Some of you have probably driven trucks like this. It was from the 80s. I love that little truck so much. It was a little Nissan from the mid-80s or now super collector items. It sounded like a race car and felt like a race car when I was driving it.

166
00:25:50,340 --> 00:26:08,000
I'm sure to all of the other people on the road, I just kind of look like a clown, you know, because, you know, I feel like I'm doing 90 miles now, and you look down, you're doing like 25, you know, your revs are up like 8,000, you're like, yeah, I'm really getting after this, and everybody else is just going, man, that guy is ridiculous.

167
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:14,180
Now, this truck, as you can imagine, with a lot of free trucks, came with a few problems.

168
00:26:14,180 --> 00:26:18,340
One of them was that it didn't, sometimes it just didn't start.

169
00:26:18,340 --> 00:26:23,240
And the guy who had given it to us, he said, well, here's what you do.

170
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:28,100
You get a stick, and you go down there, and you just tap on the starter real hard.

171
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:30,180
And then, you know what? It'll start right up.

172
00:26:30,180 --> 00:26:33,020
Now, I was never able to get that to work for me.

173
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:43,680
The second problem, which is related to the starting problem, was that the stick he had used to start it was the inside emergency brake handle.

174
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,840
And it wasn't just like a little plastic handle.

175
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:51,220
This is what keeps the emergency brake cable where it enters the cab and then engages and all of that.

176
00:26:51,220 --> 00:26:56,780
And so that's what he had been using to tap on the starter, and then he had lost it.

177
00:26:56,780 --> 00:27:01,320
And so there was, by nature of no handle, no emergency brake.

178
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:07,320
And no matter how hard I looked and how many salvage yards and how many places I could not find that handle.

179
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,360
So two major problems.

180
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:11,320
One, it doesn't always want to start.

181
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,380
And two, there's no emergency brake.

182
00:27:15,380 --> 00:27:17,180
Now, in most of our cars, that's not a problem.

183
00:27:17,180 --> 00:27:26,280
But when you have like a 30-year-old truck with a manual transmission that wherever you go, you have to park on top of the steepest hill that you can find.

184
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,020
In order that just in case it doesn't start, you can roll it down the hill on top.

185
00:27:30,020 --> 00:27:33,820
Not having an emergency brake is kind of a big deal.

186
00:27:33,820 --> 00:27:40,040
And so what I did is I carried, you know, some blocks in the back and got any chocolate tires, right?

187
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,820
And so spring came.

188
00:27:41,820 --> 00:27:44,760
I had the truck registered and was driving it back and forth to the dumpster.

189
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,460
You know what the first repair that I did was?

190
00:27:47,460 --> 00:27:49,180
And this was remarkable.

191
00:27:49,180 --> 00:27:50,160
I went to Lowe's.

192
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,300
I got $20 worth of spray paint and I made it all one color, right?

193
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:58,600
Out of all of the problems, right, it doesn't start, it doesn't like to stop.

194
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:06,780
what I'm going to do is invest my time and money in making sure that it is all exactly one color.

195
00:28:06,780 --> 00:28:11,720
Now, there's a reason for that. It's not a good reason.

196
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,400
But one of the reasons that we don't often like to address the stuff that's inside,

197
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,760
we deal with the stuff on the outside, is first of all, it's what I can see, right?

198
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,440
Every day, I get up and I get in a little truck and I look at it and this is a different color,

199
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,760
that's a different color.

200
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,440
Two owners before, some guy's girlfriend engraved your name on the hood, right?

201
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,860
I look at them and go, man, I see that every time.

202
00:28:33,860 --> 00:28:41,660
But also, those big problems, that it sort of felt so big and so overwhelming,

203
00:28:41,660 --> 00:28:45,600
and painting the truck, the outside felt achievable.

204
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,620
And you and I, we do the same thing in life, right?

205
00:28:48,620 --> 00:28:55,260
Oftentimes, we'll ignore the big internal problem and just do something about the outside

206
00:28:55,260 --> 00:28:56,320
because we can see it.

207
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,600
And it feels like I can change this thing on the outside

208
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,960
where the thing on the inside,

209
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,340
I may not be strong enough or skilled enough

210
00:29:03,340 --> 00:29:05,280
or have enough discipline to do

211
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,900
so we ignore the heart of the matter

212
00:29:07,900 --> 00:29:10,100
for something on the surface.

213
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:13,640
And so what we're seeing in Joshua 23,

214
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,420
in fact, in all of these three chapters

215
00:29:16,420 --> 00:29:19,640
is Joshua and God have been dealing with the people

216
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,180
to get to the heart of the matter,

217
00:29:22,180 --> 00:29:23,640
to what's really the problem,

218
00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:29,140
Not just sort of an external fix, not just making things all in color, not just making things look good,

219
00:29:29,140 --> 00:29:37,000
but getting there, bobbing the hood of the people of Israel, and getting under and working on what the true problem is.

220
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:42,660
And the true problem that we see in these three chapters is the problem of idolatry.

221
00:29:42,660 --> 00:29:44,380
That's the accusation in 22.

222
00:29:44,380 --> 00:29:48,640
It's the issue that he's going to deal with in chapter 23.

223
00:29:49,020 --> 00:29:53,780
And in 24, as he talks to everybody, he's going to sort of give everybody a choice.

224
00:29:53,780 --> 00:29:57,340
And it's probably one of the most well-known verses in the book of Joshua.

225
00:29:57,340 --> 00:30:01,480
Joshua will say to the people, choose this day who you will serve.

226
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,000
And then you can probably complete this.

227
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,060
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, right?

228
00:30:07,060 --> 00:30:07,900
We know it, right?

229
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:15,500
One of the most famous verses, Joshua trying to get to the heart of what is happening with the people.

230
00:30:15,980 --> 00:30:24,960
Now, when we hear about words like idolatry, it can be a struggle for you and I to sort of see the connection to us, right?

231
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,780
That's a them problem.

232
00:30:26,780 --> 00:30:34,540
That's for somebody that maybe has lived a long time ago or in a place far away or whose culture is significantly different than mine.

233
00:30:34,540 --> 00:30:36,240
Maybe they're not as educated.

234
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,760
Maybe they're not as refined.

235
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,260
Maybe they're not as scientific.

236
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:48,820
Idolatry, a lot of times, in our modern minds, is simply a them problem, not an us problem.

237
00:30:48,820 --> 00:30:59,480
But I would say this, idolatry, biblically, is not simply a practice limited to people who are distant from us in maybe time or place or culture.

238
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,960
Idolatry is a problem that goes to the depths of our heart.

239
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:14,620
And what idolatry is at its root is finding our hope, our joy, our peace, our safety, and our security in something other than God.

240
00:31:14,620 --> 00:31:22,200
And it may be a person, it may be a thing, but we're seeking those desires of our heart somewhere other than God.

241
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,540
And probably most of us have said this or something similar to it.

242
00:31:25,540 --> 00:31:30,480
If I could just have this happen in my life, things would be good.

243
00:31:30,940 --> 00:31:46,780
If I could have this job, if we could get this house, if we could afford this car, if we could get our kids into that school, if I could be in this relationship, if I could get to retirement, if I could get this promotion, then my life will be good.

244
00:31:46,780 --> 00:31:57,760
And what we're doing when we say those kind of things is we're saying that my hope, my peace, my safety, and my security are contingent on this person or this thing or this accomplishment.

245
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,620
And at the root of that, what that is, is simply idolatry.

246
00:32:01,620 --> 00:32:08,200
We're trusting something else for everything we need rather than trusting God.

247
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:13,040
And the insidious nature of idolatry is that it takes good things, right?

248
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,200
Because a job is good.

249
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,500
A good school is good.

250
00:32:16,780 --> 00:32:24,960
A house is good, a relationship is good, but it takes good things and it elevates them to the place of God.

251
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:30,240
And the heart of idolatry is that it is dishonest.

252
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:36,180
It doesn't work. Those things aren't made to hold the weight of our hearts and of our souls.

253
00:32:36,180 --> 00:32:43,160
It turns everything in our life ultimately upside down.

254
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,960
And so Joshua, as he nears the end of his life, he gathers Israel together.

255
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,180
And what he's going to do is he's going to give them this sort of talking to about idolatry.

256
00:32:54,180 --> 00:32:55,680
And it's not just what he says.

257
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,460
And what I love about this text is how he says it.

258
00:32:58,460 --> 00:33:01,940
And so if you think about this text as two arrows, right?

259
00:33:01,940 --> 00:33:05,880
So there's one arrow that points down and it points to verse 11.

260
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:11,420
And then there's one arrow that starts at the bottom of this text and it points up to verse 11.

261
00:33:11,420 --> 00:33:17,500
Verse 11 is the heart of this text, and the rest of this is arrows pointing both up and down.

262
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:21,580
So it begins and ends with Joshua saying, I'm about to go into the ground, right?

263
00:33:21,580 --> 00:33:27,300
I don't have a lot of time left, and so what I'm going to say to you is of the utmost importance, right?

264
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:32,120
When you are on your deathbed, you are not worried about whether somebody got milk from the grocery store.

265
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:38,460
And so Joshua here is going to deal with something that is of incredible importance.

266
00:33:38,460 --> 00:33:41,540
and both beginning and ending these arrows

267
00:33:41,540 --> 00:33:45,320
you're going to find reminders of God's faithfulness

268
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,500
and then sort of as you get to the middle of the arrow

269
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:49,620
you're going to find this reminder in the first arrow

270
00:33:49,620 --> 00:33:51,200
that you need to cling to God

271
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,180
and in the second arrow you're going to find this reminder

272
00:33:53,180 --> 00:33:57,140
that you can't cling to all this stuff that just disappears.

273
00:33:57,140 --> 00:34:01,580
And so then we come to the very middle

274
00:34:01,580 --> 00:34:04,800
and here is the point that Joshua is making in verse 11

275
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,860
Be very careful, therefore, to love the Lord your God.

276
00:34:09,860 --> 00:34:14,600
Everything before this points down to it, everything after it points up to it.

277
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,720
And at the center of this text is love the Lord your God.

278
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:23,580
And be careful of those things that will take you and lead you astray.

279
00:34:23,580 --> 00:34:25,700
And Joshua doesn't just tell us this.

280
00:34:25,700 --> 00:34:30,620
In this text, he's going to give us several ways in which we can accomplish this.

281
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,960
And the first thing that he does is he says, see what God has done.

282
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,680
God has given Israel rest from their enemies, verse 1.

283
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,780
Fought for his people in verse 3.

284
00:34:40,780 --> 00:34:44,380
He's stronger than the strongest enemy in verses 9 and 10.

285
00:34:44,380 --> 00:34:49,960
In fact, he'll say he'll take one of his people and they'll be able to put to flight a thousand of the enemies.

286
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,180
Listen to what he says in verse 14.

287
00:34:52,780 --> 00:34:57,860
Now I am about to go the way of the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you,

288
00:34:57,860 --> 00:35:03,300
that not one word has failed of all the good things the Lord your God has promised concerning you.

289
00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:07,000
All have come to pass, not one of them has failed.

290
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,620
And for the people, right, this is going to bring to mind the fact that God has split the Jordan River in half.

291
00:35:12,620 --> 00:35:19,140
He is going to drop the walls of Jericho, and they have faced multiple kings with multiple armies.

292
00:35:19,140 --> 00:35:20,740
God has given them the victory.

293
00:35:21,140 --> 00:35:22,920
stopped the sun in the sky

294
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,640
so they could continue the battle

295
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,180
ending in utter victory for Israel

296
00:35:27,180 --> 00:35:29,040
and utter defeat for their enemies

297
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,220
that God has fought for them

298
00:35:31,220 --> 00:35:32,840
and he has done marvelous

299
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,460
and amazing things.

300
00:35:34,460 --> 00:35:36,640
And what we see

301
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,940
as we look through the journey

302
00:35:38,940 --> 00:35:40,800
of the wilderness and even into

303
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,840
the first years of the promised land

304
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,520
Israel very quickly forgets.

305
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,920
And so many times we're really, really

306
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,500
good at making fun of them.

307
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:49,900
So they come out of Egypt

308
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:51,500
And they get to the Red Sea.

309
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:52,320
Well, what are we going to do?

310
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,820
God splits the Red Sea in half.

311
00:35:53,820 --> 00:35:55,640
Immediately, they get to the other side and complain.

312
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:56,760
We don't have any water.

313
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:57,720
God gives them water.

314
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:00,080
Then they complain, we don't have food.

315
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,300
And forgetting what God has done before, God will then give them food.

316
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:04,700
And they're still ungrateful.

317
00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:06,360
And they're like, the food isn't good enough.

318
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,120
And we don't like it.

319
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,300
And we look at them and say, how do you forget what God has done?

320
00:36:11,300 --> 00:36:12,100
How he has provided.

321
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:14,060
How he has split the water in half.

322
00:36:14,060 --> 00:36:15,640
How he has brought you to the promised land.

323
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,220
How he has provided for you.

324
00:36:17,220 --> 00:36:18,760
How he has helped you in battle.

325
00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:20,160
How do you forget that?

326
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,280
And then we go ahead and do the very same thing.

327
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:23,800
I'll give you an example.

328
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:24,900
Friday, I like to get a haircut.

329
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:27,820
And I was like the first one at the barber shop.

330
00:36:27,820 --> 00:36:30,500
I'm not used to a barber shop that opens at 9.

331
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:32,780
I showed up a little before then.

332
00:36:32,780 --> 00:36:34,760
And there was another guy in there, so I just went in.

333
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,260
And I'm sitting there, and just me and the barber, he started cutting my hair.

334
00:36:38,260 --> 00:36:42,920
And I was talking to him, because in February of last year, I had a kidney transplant.

335
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:52,380
And one of the side effects of the anti-rejection medicine is that it starts to thin your hair, and it makes it more fragile, and then you start to lose it.

336
00:36:52,380 --> 00:36:59,120
So it's maybe a few years, and I'll be matching a few of you who are getting a little thinner on top, and I'm complaining to the barber about this.

337
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,580
And I'm like, yeah, my hair is not like it used to be. It's getting so thin.

338
00:37:02,580 --> 00:37:04,920
And he just looked at me and goes, well, at least you're alive.

339
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,200
And I'm like, well, I hadn't really thought of it in that context before, right?

340
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,840
And, like, really blunt, he was like, man, your hair doesn't matter, you're alive.

341
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:19,520
And I was like, oh, wow, people of Israel, I see how they can forget things, right?

342
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,580
We do the same exact thing.

343
00:37:22,580 --> 00:37:30,320
And so one of the things that Joshua intentionally does with people, he says, remember what God has done, and be specific about it.

344
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,440
Don't just be like, oh, God saved us.

345
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,780
Say, look at all the promises he's made.

346
00:37:34,780 --> 00:37:39,240
He promised this, and he promised this, and he promised this, and he's done it.

347
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:45,620
And so in our lives, if we are to avoid idolatry, if we are to protect our hearts,

348
00:37:45,620 --> 00:37:49,280
if we're to keep our heart from running after something else,

349
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:55,700
we have to be intentional about seeing and thanking God for what he has done.

350
00:37:55,700 --> 00:38:03,400
The second thing that happens is Joshua then points people to hear the word of God.

351
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:04,560
He doesn't necessarily do it.

352
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,840
He does it a little bit with his words, but he does it a lot with his actions.

353
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,320
In fact, look at verse 6 in chapter 43.

354
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,200
Therefore, he says, this is where he says it,

355
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,820
be very strong to keep and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses,

356
00:38:18,820 --> 00:38:21,200
turning aside from neither the right nor the left.

357
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,420
He says, make sure you're walking in the law that God has given you.

358
00:38:24,420 --> 00:38:29,220
And this is a quote to what God has said to Joshua at the very beginning.

359
00:38:29,220 --> 00:38:32,320
In Joshua chapter 1, God will say to him this,

360
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:37,640
be strong, courageous, and careful to do according to the law that Moses, my servant, commanded you.

361
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,360
Do not turn from the right hand or the left,

362
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,140
so you may have good success wherever you go.

363
00:38:43,140 --> 00:38:46,800
This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth,

364
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,180
but you shall meditate on it day and night,

365
00:38:49,180 --> 00:38:53,260
and you may be careful to do all according to what is written in them,

366
00:38:53,260 --> 00:38:56,080
for you will make your way prosperous, and you will have good success.

367
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,920
God has said to Joshua,

368
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,360
don't forget what I said to you to Moses now.

369
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,760
Joshua says to the people,

370
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,120
don't forget what God has said to you through Moses,

371
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,540
and through my words, and through my example.

372
00:39:07,660 --> 00:39:12,200
And then Joshua, as he makes this speech, this entire chapter,

373
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:20,420
one of the remarkable things is Joshua is doing exactly what he is calling the people to.

374
00:39:20,420 --> 00:39:27,420
His words are almost completely from Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

375
00:39:27,420 --> 00:39:33,060
All of Joshua's words, he traces back to what God has already said.

376
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:41,220
I counted up with cross-references, something like 26 or 27 cross-references in his speech to the people.

377
00:39:41,220 --> 00:39:44,480
He's just reciting from the Old Testament.

378
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:51,460
One commentator says this, Joshua's address consists entirely of reminiscence from the Pentateuch,

379
00:39:51,460 --> 00:39:56,000
more especially from Deuteronomy, as he had nothing fresh to say to the people,

380
00:39:56,340 --> 00:40:04,100
But he could only impress upon them the old truths to the people and impress them upon their minds once more.

381
00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:05,680
And here's what I see in Joshua.

382
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,860
When we're excited, it just overflows out of us.

383
00:40:07,860 --> 00:40:08,520
Right?

384
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,560
So, like, when our kids are excited, what happens?

385
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,860
It just overflows.

386
00:40:12,860 --> 00:40:15,100
And you constantly hear, right?

387
00:40:15,100 --> 00:40:19,120
You constantly hear about all of the things they love, all the things they're excited about.

388
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,400
And that's because that excitement just overflows out of them.

389
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,340
And that happens to us as well.

390
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,660
When we are really excited about something, what happens?

391
00:40:26,660 --> 00:40:28,060
It's all we can talk about.

392
00:40:28,060 --> 00:40:32,040
And so here comes Joshua, his words at the very end of his life.

393
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,500
And what's the one thing he's excited to talk about?

394
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:35,480
It's the Word of God.

395
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,940
And it just overflows out of him.

396
00:40:38,940 --> 00:40:41,940
Like when our kids discovered Buzz Lightyear.

397
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:43,060
It's all they can talk about.

398
00:40:43,060 --> 00:40:45,420
And here's Joshua with the Word of God.

399
00:40:45,420 --> 00:40:48,000
And it's all he can talk about.

400
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,980
And so Joshua calls the people to walk in the path of God.

401
00:40:53,540 --> 00:40:58,620
It says, neither to the right nor to the left, and the psalmist, the author of the 119th Psalm will say,

402
00:40:58,620 --> 00:41:06,580
that your word is a light to my feet and a lamp to my path, that the word of God shows us where we are to be walking.

403
00:41:06,580 --> 00:41:12,580
And by knowing and loving the word of God, it keeps us from stumbling off one side or the other.

404
00:41:12,580 --> 00:41:21,020
And so Wednesday night after Bible study, when I go through and lock the doors and turn out the lights before I head home,

405
00:41:21,060 --> 00:41:22,080
It's always really dark.

406
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:28,300
And downstairs in that hallway downstairs, the hallway lights, you can turn one set on from each door.

407
00:41:28,300 --> 00:41:30,600
So, you know, this has a switch here and a switch there.

408
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:36,540
But there's also a switch in the middle that turns them all either off or on.

409
00:41:36,540 --> 00:41:43,080
And there's so many times, it's actually embarrassing how many times I'll be coming down, you know, 8.30 on a Wednesday night,

410
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:48,000
walking down through that hall, and I'll get to that middle switch, and I'll just flip them all off.

411
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,720
And then here I am standing in the middle of a dark hallway.

412
00:41:50,820 --> 00:41:53,940
Now, it doesn't matter that I've been up and down that hallway a million times.

413
00:41:53,940 --> 00:41:59,440
Like, at some point, I'm going to walk into the wall and then smash my knee on the drinking fountain at the end of the hall, right?

414
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:07,880
Because I was an idiot, and I turned off the lights when, in fact, I could have just walked to the door and done the same exact thing.

415
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:08,700
Turned them off there.

416
00:42:08,700 --> 00:42:15,520
And how many of us, as we walk through this life, are doing the same thing spiritually?

417
00:42:16,620 --> 00:42:21,320
Joshua points us to the light that God has given us through his word.

418
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,000
How it keeps us from going off the path one way or another.

419
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:30,620
And then we just simply walk down the hall, turn off the lights, and wonder why we're crashing into the wall.

420
00:42:30,620 --> 00:42:38,700
And so Joshua first says if we're going to keep our heart fixed on God, it's got to be by remembering what he's done, by hearing his word.

421
00:42:38,700 --> 00:42:44,020
And then the third thing he's going to do is point us to the fact that we have to guard our hearts.

422
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,220
And one of the things, if you read this chapter, that Joshua is going to say over and over,

423
00:42:48,220 --> 00:42:52,560
it has to do with marrying women who are outside of Israel.

424
00:42:52,560 --> 00:43:00,000
And the issue with that is not that they're the wrong nationality, but they're the wrong spirituality, right?

425
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,280
That they are worshipping in the wrong manner.

426
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:08,860
Because God has welcomed in the beginning of Joshua, Rahab, and a couple books later in the Old Testament,

427
00:43:08,860 --> 00:43:10,740
he will welcome into his people Ruth.

428
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,940
And so you have a Canaanite and a Moabite, two of the people opposed to the word of God.

429
00:43:14,940 --> 00:43:18,660
They end up being in the genealogy of Jesus.

430
00:43:18,660 --> 00:43:22,900
It's not about where they're from or what nationality or race they are.

431
00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:26,380
It's about the fact that they are worshipping a false God.

432
00:43:26,380 --> 00:43:39,080
And what Joshua is saying to them is that it's very easy to let your heart lead you into a place where you will stumble and fall because your eyes are not fixed on God.

433
00:43:39,460 --> 00:43:45,840
It's very easy to become distracted, and he calls on them to guard their hearts.

434
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,420
We're oftentimes looking at exactly the wrong thing.

435
00:43:48,420 --> 00:43:53,260
I've shared this with some of you before, but that old truck that I really, really loved

436
00:43:53,260 --> 00:43:58,700
and I thought I was so cool driving, I remember once we were getting ready to sell a car that

437
00:43:58,700 --> 00:44:03,080
we had, and we'd already hit a deer with the front end, but it was a tank, and so it was

438
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:04,140
fine, it was still drivable.

439
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,620
And I'm sitting in the driveway back here before we turn into some grass.

440
00:44:08,620 --> 00:44:10,960
And I'm sitting there in the truck and Rachel's outside.

441
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,600
I'm over there revving the engine going, oh man, she really, you know, ladies like it

442
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,280
when you rev an engine really fast, right?

443
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,920
So I'm like, hey, Rachel, look at this.

444
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,460
And then to be really cool, you know, in the movies where the guy just makes eye contact

445
00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:27,080
and he does something real dangerous as he's driving.

446
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:31,260
So you see Stan over there, I'm like, yeah, throw in reverse, slam on the gas.

447
00:44:31,260 --> 00:44:31,960
And you know what I did?

448
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,240
Right in the back of the car.

449
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,040
Like, directly into the back.

450
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,020
Like, she still has not let me forget this.

451
00:44:39,020 --> 00:44:40,740
Like, every time I'm like, hey, watch out.

452
00:44:40,740 --> 00:44:43,480
And I'm like, who needs to be watching out for what, sir?

453
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,520
Because, what, my eyes are fixed on her.

454
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:54,620
And so here I try to walk back up down this road and immediately slam into the hills.

455
00:44:54,620 --> 00:44:58,720
That's the picture when Joshua talks about our hearts and guarding them.

456
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:02,500
What he's saying is where your eyes are fixed on, where your attention goes,

457
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:05,740
it's going to cause problems if it's the wrong thing.

458
00:45:05,740 --> 00:45:08,500
And so instead of looking at where I was going,

459
00:45:08,500 --> 00:45:11,920
and many of us, instead of looking at where we should be going,

460
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,280
we're from here and there.

461
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:18,740
And Joshua says, look, you need to remember what God has done for you

462
00:45:18,740 --> 00:45:22,000
to fight the ungratefulness in your life,

463
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:27,260
to hear his word, because it lights up where you should walk and keep and fight

464
00:45:27,260 --> 00:45:30,440
to keep your eyes on him.

465
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:36,080
And so we have these three things, right?

466
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,080
Love the Lord your God is the center of all of us.

467
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,580
Remember his goodness, hear his word, and guard your hearts.

468
00:45:42,580 --> 00:45:45,300
So the question for me is, well, how well does that work?

469
00:45:45,300 --> 00:45:49,360
If you look at the history of what happens next in Joshua,

470
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,960
it does not work well, right?

471
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,860
This seems like great advice, but for the people of Israel,

472
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,960
You know how long they're faithful to God after Joshua dies in the next chapter?

473
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:02,120
One generation.

474
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:06,500
And then you get to the book of Judges, which is literal the train wreck of the Bible.

475
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:09,480
The people will fall into idolatry.

476
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,280
The very thing Joshua says, don't do.

477
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,300
He says, remember God, be in his word, guard your hearts.

478
00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:16,800
And they go, yeah, we don't really need that.

479
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,080
And God will send an oppressing nation.

480
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,000
They will repent.

481
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,700
God will save them.

482
00:46:22,700 --> 00:46:25,120
One generation, and it happens all over again.

483
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,720
It's like a tire stuck in the mud through the entire book of Judges.

484
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:31,420
And even into Israel's kings, right?

485
00:46:31,420 --> 00:46:34,680
You'll get a good king and God's people are back on track.

486
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:39,620
And then immediately a bad king who forgets the word back in the same place.

487
00:46:39,620 --> 00:46:46,440
And what you find biblically is that one of the reasons this cycle repeats throughout the Old Testament

488
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,780
is because we can't do it on our own, right?

489
00:46:49,780 --> 00:46:51,600
You can have all the good tips, right?

490
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:52,880
You know, be thankful.

491
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,340
Be in the word of God.

492
00:46:55,340 --> 00:46:57,620
You know, focus and guard your heart.

493
00:46:57,620 --> 00:47:03,040
But without help, it's not going to be very successful.

494
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,520
Without somebody to point you to these things.

495
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:06,780
Without somebody to remind you.

496
00:47:06,780 --> 00:47:08,340
Without somebody to correct you.

497
00:47:08,340 --> 00:47:14,400
And when Joshua, who has led the people and reminded them and corrected them and shown them an example.

498
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,940
When he's gone, it all falls apart.

499
00:47:18,700 --> 00:47:22,520
And so on the surface, it may seem like this is a battle that we cannot win.

500
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:27,180
But Joshua isn't the end of the story.

501
00:47:27,180 --> 00:47:31,260
Joshua, in fact, is a mile close to the bigger story.

502
00:47:31,260 --> 00:47:39,540
It's a story that points us to a different Joshua, a new Joshua, a true and better Joshua.

503
00:47:39,540 --> 00:47:44,840
And in fact, Joshua, his name comes from Hebrew, Yeshua.

504
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,640
As you begin the New Testament, you need another person named Joshua.

505
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:55,600
The name is Yeshua, it goes into Greek, it's Jesus, it comes into English, it's Jesus.

506
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,540
In Hebrew, Jesus' name is Joshua.

507
00:47:59,540 --> 00:48:02,960
And he is the one who will lead his people.

508
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,260
He is the one who will equip us to be faithful.

509
00:48:06,260 --> 00:48:12,600
Who as he encourages us to see what God has done, as he points us to his word, he in fact is the word himself.

510
00:48:12,860 --> 00:48:15,040
as he helps us to guard our hearts,

511
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,440
we can do what people in Joshua were never able to do.

512
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,620
We can fix our eyes on Jesus,

513
00:48:21,620 --> 00:48:25,260
who leads us, who corrects us, who takes care of us.

514
00:48:25,260 --> 00:48:28,120
And it's seen so much in the contrast

515
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,440
between the death of Joshua

516
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,520
and the end of Jesus' earthly ministry.

517
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,080
Joshua, as he approaches the end,

518
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:36,540
you know what he says?

519
00:48:36,540 --> 00:48:37,360
I'm going to the ground.

520
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,460
He says it more tactfully, right?

521
00:48:39,460 --> 00:48:41,160
I'm going to the way of the earth.

522
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:42,460
He's thinking about putting me in the ground.

523
00:48:42,860 --> 00:48:52,320
And Jesus, as he approaches the end, will say, I'm going to send another helper, a comforter, a spirit.

524
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:56,820
My spirit will be within you to strengthen you and to help you and to guide you and to correct you.

525
00:48:56,820 --> 00:49:04,840
And Jesus, as he gives his commission to us and to his disciples, will say that I will be with you always.

526
00:49:05,940 --> 00:49:14,000
In Hebrews, as it writes to those who are struggling, not guarding their hearts, it will say that he will never leave us or forsake us.

527
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:19,960
You see, Israel, they're not able to do it because their leader goes into the ground.

528
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:27,000
But you and I have a Joshua who never leaves and who never forsakes us.

529
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:33,500
And as the writer of Hebrews calls us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith,

530
00:49:33,500 --> 00:49:36,540
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross

531
00:49:36,540 --> 00:49:40,700
and despised the shame and is now sitting at the right hand of God

532
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:44,520
and it is only through the good news of the gospel and through Jesus

533
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:48,700
that we can guard our hearts, that we are

534
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:52,960
equipped to walk in his path and through it all

535
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,880
reminding us with wonderful grace of his love

536
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,640
and his help for us. So Christians

537
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,960
guard your heart. Guard your heart

538
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:04,860
by looking to Jesus. Hear your

539
00:50:04,860 --> 00:50:06,380
word by looking to Jesus.

540
00:50:06,380 --> 00:50:08,860
Remember that it is

541
00:50:08,860 --> 00:50:10,660
what God has done by looking to Jesus.

542
00:50:10,660 --> 00:50:12,180
And if you are not a Christian,

543
00:50:12,180 --> 00:50:16,020
the answer is found

544
00:50:16,020 --> 00:50:18,840
not in how you can change yourself, but fix

545
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,900
yourself. It's found in the one

546
00:50:20,900 --> 00:50:22,860
who died in your place for your sins,

547
00:50:22,860 --> 00:50:24,860
who rose again for your victory

548
00:50:24,860 --> 00:50:27,020
and who invites you into his family.

549
00:50:27,020 --> 00:50:29,140
Let's go ahead and have a word

550
00:50:29,140 --> 00:50:31,120
of the prayer. Father in heaven,

551
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,140
I thank you for grace and I thank you for Jesus.

552
00:50:33,140 --> 00:50:35,320
I thank you for the good things

553
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,800
that you have done for us.

554
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,060
Help us

555
00:50:39,060 --> 00:50:40,920
to fix our eyes on your son.

556
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,240
You may equip us to fight

557
00:50:43,240 --> 00:50:45,040
those things that distract us and tear

558
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,060
our attention away from you. In Jesus'

559
00:50:47,060 --> 00:50:48,660
name we pray. Amen.

560
00:50:48,660 --> 00:50:52,640
Just a few announcements

561
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,180
before we

562
00:50:54,180 --> 00:50:57,060
will pray again. We will

563
00:50:57,060 --> 00:51:04,360
read a verse of Scripture and sing the doxology. First of all, Greg's not here this morning,

564
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:11,740
but I do have contribution statements for those physical giving. I know it's that time of year,

565
00:51:11,740 --> 00:51:16,220
and so they are in the sound booth, and we can get those for you if you have given online.

566
00:51:16,220 --> 00:51:22,660
They often send out an email. If not, we can get those for you as well. We are very thankful. I was

567
00:51:22,660 --> 00:51:28,140
thinking back through how God has worked in our church over these last several years.

568
00:51:28,140 --> 00:51:32,720
And through the generosity of his people, he has met our needs, right?

569
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:35,160
We have lights, we have heat, we have air conditioning.

570
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:42,100
We've been able to help those who are both inside of our church and those who are outside of our church.

571
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:45,100
Sometimes in little ways, sometimes in bigger ways.

572
00:51:45,100 --> 00:51:48,480
We've been able to help support the cause of the gospel.

573
00:51:49,300 --> 00:51:53,800
Sort of in spreading out circles from locally to across oceans.

574
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,880
And so I am very thankful.

575
00:51:55,880 --> 00:52:01,460
And I was talking to somebody yesterday about how God takes little seeds and he uses them in big ways.

576
00:52:01,460 --> 00:52:04,460
And God has certainly done that in our church.

577
00:52:04,460 --> 00:52:08,480
And I am just very, very, very thankful.

578
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:13,640
I'm also thankful for the work that went into cooking and I think mainly eating.

579
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,200
I think that was the hard part of our breakfast yesterday.

580
00:52:16,620 --> 00:52:21,820
I'm thankful for our time of getting together, and I was really kind of annoyed when Stu was like,

581
00:52:21,820 --> 00:52:27,000
well, we're going to get together and share our feelings, but it was a good and encouraging time.

582
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,160
So we're going to do it again, so just keep that in mind.

583
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:37,780
Also, Wednesday night, we're here studying the book of James, and it's been a good time and an encouraging time,

584
00:52:37,780 --> 00:52:38,900
so I'd encourage you to join us.

585
00:52:38,900 --> 00:52:44,820
If you can't, we've been putting the teaching videos online, and I can get you a link to that,

586
00:52:44,820 --> 00:52:51,200
If you look back at one of the emails from the last couple of weeks, there's a link and you can go through all those videos in this study.

587
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:55,000
It's been an encouraging and helpful time.

588
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,160
So we're going to go ahead and pray.

589
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:02,280
We're going to pray for a few of our prayer request lists from earlier as well.

590
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:03,500
So let's pray.

591
00:53:03,500 --> 00:53:06,880
Father in heaven, I thank you for grace.

592
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,840
I thank you that you are here for the hurting and the broken.

593
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:15,200
and I thank you that in the midst of our encouragement, we can see your good hand providing for us.

594
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:20,160
And so we ask for those who are struggling this morning, we ask for those who are grieving,

595
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:27,620
we think of Tom's, the family of Tom's friend, and so we just ask for comfort for them.

596
00:53:27,620 --> 00:53:32,180
We just ask that you would watch over Rachel and Katie this morning.

597
00:53:32,180 --> 00:53:38,560
We just ask, and we're so thankful for all the little ones that are here today.

598
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,520
It's such an encouraging and wonderful thing to me.

599
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:46,380
Thank you for giving us these good gifts.

600
00:53:46,380 --> 00:53:49,360
Help us to shepherd them, shepherd them well.

601
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,720
It's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

602
00:53:51,720 --> 00:53:55,340
So I'm going to read from 1 John.

603
00:53:55,340 --> 00:54:00,060
And John has something to say that I think connects us very closely with Joshua.

604
00:54:00,060 --> 00:54:02,700
And then we will stand and sing the doxology.

605
00:54:02,700 --> 00:54:03,760
So John will say this.

606
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,560
And we know that the Son of God has come and given us understanding

607
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,220
so that we may know him who is true

608
00:54:10,220 --> 00:54:12,400
and we are in him who is true

609
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,200
in his son, Jesus Christ.

610
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,600
He is the true God and eternal life.

611
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,300
And the very last words of 1 John are

612
00:54:20,300 --> 00:54:23,200
little children, keep yourself from idols.

613
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,740
Let's go ahead and stand

614
00:54:24,740 --> 00:54:26,640
and we're going to sing the doxology.

615
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:46,860
Praise Him, all creatures here below.

616
00:54:46,860 --> 00:54:52,680
Praise Him, above ye heavenly hosts.

617
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:58,340
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

618
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:14,560
Hey guys, hey Abigail, thank you for having me.

619
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:19,560
Hey Isla, Isla, thank you for coming.

620
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,560
Do you want to have a high five?

621
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,560
Hey, you want to have a high five?

622
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,560
Yeah.

623
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,560
Hey Isla, thank you for coming.

624
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:37,380
We're so glad you're here.

625
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:05,820
I want to make sure you take care of everybody and include everybody.

626
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:32,900
Everything you said.

627
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:31,540
I'm going to go to the next slide.

628
00:57:31,560 --> 00:58:01,540
Thank you.

629
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:31,540
Thank you.

630
00:58:31,560 --> 00:59:01,540
There you go.

631
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:31,540
Thank you.

632
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:34,000
- Oh no, no, no.

633
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,740

636
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:49,920

637
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,860
- Okay, all right, let's do that, okay.

638
00:59:52,860 --> 00:59:55,360

639
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,320
- Okay, all right, let's do that.

640
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,280
- Okay, all right, let's do that.

641
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,280
No, it's Caroline.

642
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,280
- So, the number of people in the back of the room,

643
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,280
one of the other people in the back of the room,

644
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,280
and one of the other people in the room,

645
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,280
and all of the people in the room.

646
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,280
And I'm gonna find out this room.

647
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,280
I'm gonna find out this room.

648
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,280
I'm gonna find out this room.

649
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,280
- We can find out this room.

650
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:20,280
- It's not that it's all that.

651
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,280
- It's not that it's all that.

652
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:23,280
- It's not that it's all that.

653
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,280
- It's not that it's all that it's all that it's all.

654
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:26,280
- Thank you, I'm pretty much.

655
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:27,280
- It was great.

656
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:34,280
I'm going to have a little bit of a clock.

657
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,280
I'm going to have a little bit of a clock.

658
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:42,280
I'm going to have a little bit of a clock.

659
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:47,280
I'm going to have a clock.

660
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:48,280
There it is.

661
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,280
Come and get some research.

662
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:55,280
That's the only reason I'm here.

663
01:00:55,280 --> 01:01:25,260
Thank you.

664
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:55,260
Thank you.

665
01:01:55,280 --> 01:02:25,260
Thank you.

666
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:25,780
Nobody.

667
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:56,120
- Yeah, yeah.

668
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:55,260
Thank you.

669
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,280
one layer of the water.

670
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:55,260
Thank you.

671
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,280
- What does this mean?

672
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,280
When our testament comes to the end,

673
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,280
we take a hand and we can email the app.

674
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,280
We have to know about her.

675
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,280
We have to know about her.

676
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,280
We have to know about her.

677
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:08,280
- Huh?

678
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:14,280
- I think he's a danger.

679
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,280
- What do you want to do here?

680
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,280
- What does that mean?

681
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:20,280
- Okay, you can't.

682
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:21,280
- Okay, great.

683
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:22,280
- Okay.

684
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:26,120
- Yeah.

685
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:27,860
- I hope you are right now.

686
01:05:27,860 --> 01:05:29,440
- I can't, I can't, I can't,

687
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,260
- I can't, I can't, I can't.

688
01:05:31,260 --> 01:05:33,740
- I can't, I can't, I can't.

689
01:05:33,740 --> 01:05:35,500
- I can't, I can't, I can't.

690
01:05:37,580 --> 01:05:38,500
- All right.

691
01:05:38,500 --> 01:05:40,060
- Check from Walmart, what are you doing?

692
01:05:40,060 --> 01:05:41,320
- What are you doing?

693
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,300
- Yeah, uh, you're used to pick that one.

694
01:05:43,300 --> 01:05:46,160
- All right, you're gonna have a lot of fun.

695
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:47,320
- I love you, mom.

696
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,340
- You know, uh, I know you've heard about it.

697
01:05:50,340 --> 01:05:52,440
- You would never really want to do that.

698
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:53,280
- Yeah.

699
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:52,420
Thank you.

700
01:06:52,440 --> 01:07:22,420
Thank you.

701
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:29,440
I don't think I'm going to lose you over here too, but I don't think I'm going to lose you over here too, but I don't think I'm going to lose you over here too.

702
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:56,860
I want to do a whole time.

703
01:08:22,440 --> 01:08:29,440
*music*

704
01:08:52,440 --> 01:08:53,680
All right, you look tired.

705
01:09:22,440 --> 01:09:24,440
- Yeah, it's good.

706
01:09:52,440 --> 01:09:57,440
- You okay? - Yeah.

707
01:10:22,440 --> 01:10:52,420
Thank you.

708
01:10:52,440 --> 01:10:53,280
- Good.

709
01:11:22,440 --> 01:11:52,420
Thank you.

710
01:11:52,440 --> 01:12:22,420
Thank you.

711
01:12:22,440 --> 01:12:27,440
Alright, I got a long time for you to do all night, also...

712
01:12:27,440 --> 01:12:29,440
- I mean, 11, he's like, that seems like a bean.

713
01:12:29,440 --> 01:12:31,440
- No, no.

714
01:12:31,440 --> 01:12:32,440
- Yeah.

715
01:12:32,440 --> 01:12:33,440
- Okay.

716
01:12:33,440 --> 01:12:34,440
- Okay.

717
01:12:34,440 --> 01:12:35,440
- Okay.

718
01:12:35,440 --> 01:12:36,440
- Yeah.

719
01:12:36,440 --> 01:12:37,440
- Yeah.

720
01:12:37,440 --> 01:12:38,440
- Yeah, yeah.

721
01:12:38,440 --> 01:12:40,440
- Maybe it's that Z 16 and 81.

722
01:12:40,440 --> 01:12:41,440
- Yeah.

723
01:12:41,440 --> 01:12:43,440
- I don't know what you're saying.

724
01:12:43,440 --> 01:12:45,440
- I don't know what you're saying.

725
01:12:45,440 --> 01:12:47,440
- What's that road there?

726
01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:49,440
- I'm gonna make it off the road.

727
01:12:49,440 --> 01:12:50,440
- On the road, no.

728
01:12:50,440 --> 01:12:51,440
- Thank you.

729
01:12:51,440 --> 01:13:21,420
Thank you.

730
01:13:21,440 --> 01:13:51,420
Thank you.

731
01:13:51,440 --> 01:13:54,540
Oh, it's a completely different class how we got there.

732
01:14:21,440 --> 01:14:51,420
Thank you.

733
01:14:51,440 --> 01:15:21,420
Thank you.

734
01:15:21,440 --> 01:15:23,440
- That was pretty cool.

735
01:15:51,440 --> 01:16:21,420
Thank you.

736
01:16:21,440 --> 01:16:51,420
Thank you.

737
01:16:51,440 --> 01:17:21,420
Thank you.

738
01:17:21,440 --> 01:17:25,560
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

739
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:27,900
I don't like to do it, but I don't know.

740
01:17:27,900 --> 01:17:29,520
But I don't know what that means.

741
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,140
And I don't know what that means.

742
01:17:31,140 --> 01:17:33,300
Or I don't know what that means.

743
01:17:33,300 --> 01:17:35,880
I don't know what that means, right?

744
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:37,460
I don't know what that means, right?

745
01:17:37,460 --> 01:17:40,180
Yeah, but like, I don't know what that means.

746
01:17:40,180 --> 01:17:42,400
Oh yeah, I don't know what that means.

747
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:43,620
Yeah, I don't know what that means.

748
01:17:43,620 --> 01:17:45,880
I don't know what that means, I don't know what that means.

749
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:47,320
I don't know what that means.

750
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:48,780
I don't know what that means.

751
01:17:48,780 --> 01:17:53,780
I was like, oh, I was like, oh, I was like, oh, yeah.

752
01:18:18,780 --> 01:18:23,260
I had a meeting and I got out there all the weekends.

753
01:18:23,260 --> 01:18:25,460
I think that if they've all gone through the day,

754
01:18:25,460 --> 01:18:28,340
I would be longer to come to bed for them.

755
01:18:28,340 --> 01:18:30,420
- Oh, that's great for those girls.

756
01:18:30,420 --> 01:18:33,520
- Oh, I have been serving one for a very serious,

757
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:37,080
serious, serious, serious, and I'm not a period of time.

758
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:38,200
- Oh, I'm a scary guy.

759
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:39,460
- Did I do a following year?

760
01:18:39,460 --> 01:18:41,640
- Yeah. - Yeah, no, that's really.

761
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:42,520
- Yeah.

762
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:44,280
- Oh, that was my journey.

763
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,300
- Yeah, yeah, I want that.

764
01:18:46,300 --> 01:18:53,300
about dragging the cart on the leg and letting the cart on the table.

765
01:19:16,300 --> 01:19:46,280
Thank you.

766
01:19:46,300 --> 01:20:16,280
Thank you.

767
01:20:16,300 --> 01:20:46,280
Thank you.

768
01:20:46,300 --> 01:21:10,560
All right, that's what I needed.

769
01:21:16,300 --> 01:21:17,020
Hello.

770
01:21:46,300 --> 01:21:48,300
like a pile of water.

771
01:22:16,300 --> 01:22:46,280
Thank you.

772
01:22:46,300 --> 01:22:59,160
Okay, the kids aren't really doing well.

773
01:23:16,300 --> 01:23:46,280
Thank you.

774
01:23:46,300 --> 01:24:16,280
Thank you.

775
01:24:16,300 --> 01:24:46,280
Thank you.

776
01:25:46,300 --> 01:26:00,780
One of the years, I call them, and they're going down to, hey, so I try to say, but, you might look at it every time.

777
01:26:16,300 --> 01:26:17,300
Yeah.

778
01:26:17,300 --> 01:26:18,300
How many yet?

779
01:26:18,300 --> 01:26:19,300
Well, they're not actually wrong.

780
01:26:19,300 --> 01:26:20,300
They're not good yet.

781
01:26:20,300 --> 01:26:21,300
Wow.

782
01:26:21,300 --> 01:26:27,300
Do you know how the barrels are more like that?

783
01:26:27,300 --> 01:26:30,300
I get it.

784
01:26:30,300 --> 01:26:31,300
Yeah.

785
01:26:31,300 --> 01:26:32,300
Yeah.

786
01:26:32,300 --> 01:26:33,300
Yeah.

787
01:26:35,300 --> 01:26:36,340
I think it's perfect.

788
01:26:36,340 --> 01:26:38,540
You're talking about the new kind of style,

789
01:26:38,540 --> 01:26:40,220
and you're talking about what you need to tell them,

790
01:26:40,220 --> 01:26:42,760
what you need to do in that instance,

791
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:44,260
or what you should do in that instance,

792
01:26:44,260 --> 01:26:45,300
or what you should do in that instance,

793
01:26:45,300 --> 01:26:46,300
or what you should do in that instance,

794
01:26:59,300 --> 01:27:29,280
Thank you.

795
01:27:29,300 --> 01:27:33,300
I'm actually doing a lot of work, right here, and what do you do?

796
01:27:33,300 --> 01:27:41,300
Yeah, well, we are in a level of bad part, but, like, this fear of us is a million people who agree.

797
01:27:41,300 --> 01:27:43,300
What was there for the paper?

798
01:27:43,300 --> 01:27:46,300
There are some left to be under it.

799
01:27:46,300 --> 01:27:48,300
Anyway, that's a...

800
01:27:48,300 --> 01:27:53,300
It did not mean it was anything going on.

801
01:27:53,300 --> 01:27:54,300
Like, I don't know.

802
01:27:54,300 --> 01:28:04,300
yeah

803
01:28:24,300 --> 01:28:26,300
*crickets*

804
01:28:54,300 --> 01:29:24,280
Thank you.

805
01:29:24,300 --> 01:29:54,280
Thank you.

806
01:29:54,300 --> 01:29:56,300
- I don't know. - I don't know.

807
01:30:24,300 --> 01:30:54,280
Thank you.

808
01:30:54,300 --> 01:30:59,300
I don't think you have any reason to have it.

809
01:30:59,300 --> 01:31:02,300
Do you want to pick out a couple?

810
01:31:02,300 --> 01:31:06,300
You know, in a couple weeks, you're willing to do that.

811
01:31:06,300 --> 01:31:08,300
You didn't talk to us.

812
01:31:08,300 --> 01:31:10,300
You were talking to us.

813
01:31:10,300 --> 01:31:14,300
You know, it was like something that you did.

814
01:31:14,300 --> 01:31:16,300
I think we're talking about it.

815
01:31:16,300 --> 01:31:18,300
Yeah.

816
01:31:18,300 --> 01:31:25,300
These are long, they're long, but you're not in a rural area, like in the new art class.

817
01:31:25,300 --> 01:31:28,300
There are no, you can't explain it.

818
01:31:28,300 --> 01:31:30,300
And it's like so healthy.

819
01:31:30,300 --> 01:31:31,300
But you like it.

820
01:31:31,300 --> 01:31:32,300
It's really good.

821
01:31:32,300 --> 01:31:36,300
There's a lot of people talking about.

822
01:31:36,300 --> 01:31:39,300
They have different groups of different things.

823
01:31:39,300 --> 01:31:41,300
There's a great group.

824
01:31:41,300 --> 01:31:42,300
It's different.

825
01:31:42,300 --> 01:31:43,300
It's different.

826
01:31:43,300 --> 01:31:44,300
It's different.

827
01:31:44,300 --> 01:31:49,300
- Thank you.

828
01:32:14,300 --> 01:32:23,420
Hey, you know from Lord of War, they used like 100, 250, 272 tanks, they used an arm steamer.

829
01:32:23,420 --> 01:32:26,780
They had to, like, shoot those pieces really fast to get to the end of their video.

830
01:32:26,780 --> 01:32:30,020
Like, movie, let's give me that.

831
01:32:30,020 --> 01:32:31,200
Yeah, I just made it.

832
01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:31,220
I just made it.

833
01:32:31,220 --> 01:32:33,300
I just made it.

834
01:32:33,300 --> 01:32:34,220
Wait for that one.

835
01:32:34,220 --> 01:32:35,240
I don't want to get out of the world.

836
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:35,360
I don't want to get out of the world.

837
01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:36,260
I don't want to get out of the world.

838
01:32:42,340 --> 01:32:44,340
Oh, Lord of War.

839
01:32:44,340 --> 01:32:46,340
Oh, Lord of War.

840
01:32:46,340 --> 01:32:48,340
I thought you'd be warlord.

841
01:32:48,340 --> 01:32:50,340
I like a better word.

842
01:32:50,340 --> 01:33:00,340
We are allowed to stream

843
01:33:00,340 --> 01:33:02,340
and go after track

844
01:33:02,340 --> 01:33:04,340
and we can do a lot of

845
01:33:04,340 --> 01:33:06,340
from stuff where we don't have to

846
01:33:06,340 --> 01:33:08,340
like, have to be like

847
01:33:08,340 --> 01:33:10,340
that.

848
01:33:10,340 --> 01:33:40,320
You want to have your own.

849
01:33:40,340 --> 01:33:42,340
- It's probably really healthy.

850
01:34:10,340 --> 01:34:40,320
Thank you.

851
01:34:40,340 --> 01:34:55,340
I do like this feeling of slight superiority of calling dad at 5:30 and reading in the morning.

852
01:34:55,340 --> 01:35:02,280
And then you walk, you do take a look after the cultural casting because you have to lay

853
01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:09,600
into the right shot and then 1220, 1230, like I said, here we go to the next 40s here,

854
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:15,140
you guys have to do a super-roaring thing, so I do a lot of things instead, and then

855
01:35:15,140 --> 01:35:18,220
they can do it, and then they can do it, and then they can do it, and then they can do it,

856
01:35:18,220 --> 01:35:19,560
and then they can do it, and then they can do it, and then they can do it, and then they

857
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:20,560
can do it.

858
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:21,060
That's normal.

859
01:35:21,060 --> 01:35:22,060
That's normal.

860
01:35:22,060 --> 01:35:25,060
Yeah, we're on the road, we're on the edge.

861
01:35:25,060 --> 01:35:55,040
Oh, so that's the thing.

862
01:35:55,060 --> 01:35:56,700
I don't know.

863
01:35:56,700 --> 01:35:57,880
Yeah.

864
01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:01,180
It's a terrible day.

865
01:36:01,180 --> 01:36:05,340
Like, well, Erica's down.

866
01:36:05,340 --> 01:36:09,100
And then, like, he's going to be, like, scared.

867
01:36:09,100 --> 01:36:12,180
And I'm just like, oh, did you go to Erica?

868
01:36:12,180 --> 01:36:13,360
And then he comes back with me.

869
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:16,300
It was hilarious.

870
01:36:16,300 --> 01:36:20,820
I was like, really good.

871
01:36:25,060 --> 01:36:55,040
Thank you.

872
01:36:55,060 --> 01:36:59,060
- I know. - Sorry, I know.

873
01:36:59,060 --> 01:37:01,060
- You know what they do like?

874
01:37:01,060 --> 01:37:04,060
- It was a little bit of a thing.

875
01:37:04,060 --> 01:37:07,060
- I think I'm gonna be working on it.

876
01:37:07,060 --> 01:37:10,060
- I think I'm gonna be working on it.

877
01:37:10,060 --> 01:37:12,060
- I think I'm gonna be working on it.

878
01:37:24,060 --> 01:37:54,040
I'm going to go to the circle and have it.

879
01:37:54,060 --> 01:38:24,040
Thank you.

880
01:38:24,060 --> 01:38:36,060
so

881
01:38:54,060 --> 01:39:24,040
Thank you.

882
01:39:24,060 --> 01:39:36,680
All the knowledge, all the money.

883
01:39:54,060 --> 01:40:24,040
Thank you.

884
01:40:24,060 --> 01:40:35,560
That was where I texted Matt, and I was like, "Come out those doors."

885
01:40:35,560 --> 01:41:05,540
Thank you.

886
01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:09,320
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, so I'll get an idea.

887
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:13,740
In return, I have a lot of the fans.

888
01:41:13,740 --> 01:41:17,380
Yeah, everyone, in return, all their eyes might do that.

889
01:41:17,380 --> 01:41:19,760
Everybody has a lot of the fans.

890
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:20,840
All the guys do that.

891
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:37,560
- Do you need to come up?

892
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:12,360
I'm just going to have a lot of people who are going to do that very effectively.

893
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:19,420
I think they're going to have a lot of people who are going to do that very effectively.

894
01:42:19,420 --> 01:42:25,400
And if they're going to have a lot of people who are going to do that very effectively,

895
01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:30,420
they're going to have a lot of people who are going to do that very effectively.

896
01:42:30,420 --> 01:43:00,400
Thank you.

897
01:43:00,420 --> 01:43:10,420
hey

898
01:43:30,420 --> 01:43:44,740
So, yeah, he's got like a circuit theory electric, and he's doing it like, kind of like the old school guy, like, he's feeling like he's there, and not, you know, like, yeah.

899
01:43:44,740 --> 01:43:47,420
You got to hear what I'm talking about.

900
01:44:00,420 --> 01:44:03,160
and I'm not going to do any type of abuse.

901
01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:04,640
They're turning down the field.

902
01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:05,840
I'm going to be sure.

903
01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:09,600
I mean, I have to look down, but I don't know.

904
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:14,020
I follow the people's drugs, and then what's the dog?

905
01:44:14,020 --> 01:44:16,980
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

906
01:44:16,980 --> 01:44:19,100
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

907
01:44:19,100 --> 01:44:21,060
And that's the only time that you can do it.

908
01:44:21,060 --> 01:44:24,200
I don't know if I can do it, but I don't know if I can do it.

909
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:26,320
I don't know if I can do it, but I don't know if I can do it.

910
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:28,280
I don't know if I can do it, but I don't know if I can do it.

911
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:30,280
I don't know if I can do it.

912
01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:31,280
That's over a bit.

913
01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:34,280
Is that over a bigger type of thing?

914
01:44:34,280 --> 01:44:35,280
Yeah.

915
01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:37,280
Are you talking about Google Drive?

916
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:38,280
Yeah.

917
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:43,280
I was thinking about .

918
01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:54,280
So you know the best way to do it, the easiest way to do it, is import some records.

919
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:55,280
Yeah.

920
01:44:55,280 --> 01:45:24,420
That would be $3.97, but it's like $2,500, but the best thing to do is you get $8,000, you get $8,000, and then it drops the tickets later down, and the guys are watching me, they're probably going to get $6,000, but you're buying them at a dealer, you get $6,000, $7,000 before you sell, and then we would get friends together.

921
01:45:25,280 --> 01:45:30,280
Yeah, if you do a shipping container for it, then you can use it behind that.

922
01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:33,280
Yeah, because you're required to plan that.

923
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:38,280
I mean like any dealer that has a $1,000.

924
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:41,280
There are a lot, we looked at it, right from the drive.

925
01:45:41,280 --> 01:45:42,280
Yeah.

926
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:44,280
Why would we get to use this ?

927
01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:46,280
Like, on the thermal time.

928
01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:48,280
But if you turn it.

929
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:50,280
You can pick up a little bit.

930
01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:52,280
Yeah.

931
01:45:52,280 --> 01:46:02,540
Yeah, I don't want a, I want like a series 76 play up, like we can't tell them for that.

932
01:46:02,540 --> 01:46:04,360
Yeah, we can't.

933
01:46:08,500 --> 01:46:18,120
Uh, but like they do the, whatever you have, but, um, yeah, sort of a lot of people that

934
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:23,560
I want to, so, 2,500 is like total more than that.

935
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:26,120
They only have like a hundred and like a lot of miles.

936
01:46:26,120 --> 01:46:28,240
No, one I said they wanted to be 30,000.

937
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:29,800
That's a lot of these.

938
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:30,300
Oh.

939
01:46:30,300 --> 01:46:31,760
I'm ready to start a lot.

940
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:33,100
I mean, it's like 2,000.

941
01:46:33,100 --> 01:46:54,100
They have a little dam, they have one of those over at that place on Valley Avenue.

942
01:46:54,100 --> 01:46:54,600
Okay.

943
01:47:24,100 --> 01:47:26,100
Okay.

944
01:47:54,100 --> 01:48:04,000
I've got to be on the next one.

945
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:10,900
I've got to be on the next one.

946
01:48:10,900 --> 01:48:14,600
Yeah, she's got a goal.

947
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:17,600
They talked about her team as a couple.

948
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:20,600
That was pretty good.

949
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:37,600
And I thought like the whole, like it was pretty relevant about how I'm going to react. Because like I said, I thought it was good. I don't really have that mentality. Well, like in rent new, like the book, I put three times in the book.

950
01:48:50,600 --> 01:49:20,580
Thank you.

951
01:49:20,600 --> 01:49:50,580
I don't know.

952
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:53,580
Yes, I tried to make.

953
01:49:53,580 --> 01:49:55,580
Yeah, that was a good one.

954
01:49:55,580 --> 01:49:59,580
Yeah, that was a good one.

955
01:49:59,580 --> 01:50:01,580
Yeah, yeah.

956
01:50:01,580 --> 01:50:02,580
Oh, yeah.

957
01:50:02,580 --> 01:50:07,580
That was a good one.

958
01:50:07,580 --> 01:50:09,580
I was playing for my mom.

959
01:50:09,580 --> 01:50:11,580
Yeah, and that's a good one.

960
01:50:11,580 --> 01:50:12,580
Yeah, yeah.

961
01:50:12,580 --> 01:50:14,580
What is the good one you hear?

962
01:50:14,580 --> 01:50:16,580
I just want to put it in there.

963
01:50:16,580 --> 01:50:19,580
And then I just put it down in my head.

964
01:50:19,580 --> 01:50:22,580
...

965
01:50:22,580 --> 01:50:26,580
...

966
01:50:26,580 --> 01:50:30,580
...

967
01:50:46,580 --> 01:51:16,560
Thank you.

968
01:51:16,580 --> 01:51:46,560
Thank you.

969
01:51:46,580 --> 01:51:53,580
All the other people, all the other people.

970
01:51:53,580 --> 01:52:00,580
So, I had to move to an education.

971
01:52:00,580 --> 01:52:03,580
I mean, obviously.

972
01:52:03,580 --> 01:52:04,580
I pulled out.

973
01:52:04,580 --> 01:52:07,580
I didn't have to do that.

974
01:52:07,580 --> 01:52:09,580
I didn't have to do anything.

975
01:52:09,580 --> 01:52:11,580
I was talking to somebody from that.

976
01:52:11,580 --> 01:52:13,580
I didn't have to do that.

977
01:52:13,580 --> 01:52:43,560
Thank you.

978
01:52:43,580 --> 01:53:13,560
Thank you.

979
01:53:13,580 --> 01:53:17,580
Yeah, I'm sure you're smart with a $90, right?

980
01:53:17,580 --> 01:53:18,580
Right.

981
01:53:18,580 --> 01:53:19,580
I'm not saying anything.

982
01:53:19,580 --> 01:53:20,580
Right.

983
01:53:20,580 --> 01:53:21,580
And, uh, what else?

984
01:53:21,580 --> 01:53:22,580
I'm very excited.

985
01:53:22,580 --> 01:53:24,580
So, I'm like, uh.

986
01:53:24,580 --> 01:53:25,580
Yeah.

987
01:53:25,580 --> 01:53:26,580
So, I'm good.

988
01:53:26,580 --> 01:53:27,580
Why did you do this?

989
01:53:27,580 --> 01:53:28,580
What did you do?

990
01:53:28,580 --> 01:53:31,580
Um, I was like, what's that?

991
01:53:31,580 --> 01:53:32,580
You said it.

992
01:53:32,580 --> 01:53:33,580
Yeah.

993
01:53:33,580 --> 01:53:36,580
Um, it got really good.

994
01:53:36,580 --> 01:53:37,580
Yeah.

995
01:53:37,580 --> 01:53:38,580
Yeah.

996
01:53:38,580 --> 01:53:41,580
Literally, they told him that's why I were using it.

997
01:53:41,580 --> 01:53:42,580
Yeah.

998
01:53:42,580 --> 01:54:12,560
Thank you.

999
01:54:12,580 --> 01:54:42,560
Thank you.

1000
01:54:42,580 --> 01:55:12,560
And so, we have a couple of questions.

1001
01:55:12,580 --> 01:55:13,420
What do you do?

1002
01:55:13,420 --> 01:55:15,100
- Yeah, I'm finding the hands.

1003
01:55:15,100 --> 01:55:17,160
- You gotta stop doing that.

1004
01:55:17,160 --> 01:55:18,160
- Well, it's part of the head.

1005
01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:19,840
- Right, right, let's do it again.

1006
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:21,460
- Go to the left man.

1007
01:55:21,460 --> 01:55:22,860
- Okay, there you go.

1008
01:55:22,860 --> 01:55:27,660
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

1009
01:55:27,660 --> 01:55:29,520
- It's a beaver, but it's good.

1010
01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:31,600
- Let me get to all of it.

1011
01:55:31,600 --> 01:55:32,440
- Ew.

1012
01:55:32,440 --> 01:55:37,040
- What happened?

1013
01:55:37,040 --> 01:56:07,020
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

1014
01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:07,540
Yeah.

1015
01:56:37,040 --> 01:57:07,020
Thank you.

1016
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:09,040
Okay.

1017
01:57:37,040 --> 01:57:51,040
um

1018
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:37,020
Yes, anyway, I'm trying to see how much it was, and there is a, there is a finally, well, see I was doing it for myself, I was taking a pocket and I was holding it, and I was waiting, but when it's partly, it's partly like a line stone, or a, like a line stone, or a stone stone.

1019
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:46,040
We're trying to figure out one, two, three, one.

1020
01:58:46,040 --> 01:58:52,040
We have a billion dollars.

1021
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:58,040
They come pretty waxed.

1022
01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:00,040
But you can do patterns.

1023
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:07,040
And they also have LVT, LVT.

1024
01:59:07,040 --> 01:59:13,040
You have to make it a little bit more.

1025
01:59:13,040 --> 01:59:16,040
I can ask them to mop on their hands.

1026
01:59:16,040 --> 01:59:21,040
Like they spray wax on a bottle and they mop it on their hands.

1027
01:59:21,040 --> 01:59:24,040
No, LVT.

1028
01:59:24,040 --> 01:59:26,040
Yeah, that was LVT.

1029
01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:28,040
Yeah, like LVT.

1030
01:59:28,040 --> 01:59:35,040
And you always text me because I'd like you to forget, I've had to text you with my computer, I think it was that I don't even know.

1031
01:59:35,040 --> 01:59:43,040
So there's BCC with this and there's LB, L-O-B-C-T, the fancier version.

1032
01:59:43,040 --> 01:59:45,040
It's still cheaper though. Right.

1033
01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:51,040
It's almost, so the luxury one, it's almost like .

1034
01:59:51,040 --> 01:59:57,040
Okay. But I think it's .

1035
01:59:57,040 --> 01:59:59,380
No, I'm just looking into the different...

1036
01:59:59,380 --> 02:00:01,460
Because I might have joined with a good time, too.

1037
02:00:01,460 --> 02:00:01,940
Yeah.

1038
02:00:01,940 --> 02:00:03,400
The problem with that is how...

1039
02:00:03,400 --> 02:00:06,700
Well, that's the problem now, too.

1040
02:00:27,040 --> 02:00:57,020
Thank you.
