[423.28 --> 425.18] wanting real growth from me. |
[426.64 --> 427.82] Now that's the important part. |
[428.28 --> 429.14] Another important part |
[429.14 --> 429.80] that I want to highlight |
[429.80 --> 430.78] before we move on |
[430.78 --> 431.72] is, |
[432.12 --> 433.26] yes, he confronted me. |
[433.68 --> 435.06] I accepted it humbly. |
[435.56 --> 435.82] It was, |
[436.28 --> 437.88] I was not proud of my actions. |
[437.88 --> 438.50] But, |
[438.86 --> 440.10] it wasn't one and done. |
[440.86 --> 441.40] It wasn't, |
[441.52 --> 441.76] alright, |
[442.22 --> 442.94] some guy |
[442.94 --> 444.26] cared about me |
[444.26 --> 444.94] within the church, |
[445.20 --> 446.16] so now overnight, |
[446.34 --> 447.48] I no longer sin. |
[448.14 --> 449.20] I no longer struggle |
[449.20 --> 449.78] with that sin. |
[450.12 --> 451.12] It wasn't like that. |
[451.58 --> 453.32] It's an ongoing process. |
[453.76 --> 455.22] It's not a one and done deal, |
[455.30 --> 456.58] as Pastor Sid mentioned before. |
[457.06 --> 457.88] It is a, |
[458.24 --> 459.56] it is the hard work. |
[459.78 --> 461.28] It is a long process. |
[461.68 --> 462.40] Really long |
[462.40 --> 463.38] in certain situations. |
[463.38 --> 464.42] But, |
[464.42 --> 466.12] that confrontation, |
[466.78 --> 467.60] that calling out |
[467.60 --> 468.66] of my misbehaviors, |
[468.86 --> 470.98] was a significant impact |
[470.98 --> 472.28] into my growth, |
[472.70 --> 474.80] even as I go through growth today. |
[475.26 --> 475.64] Hopefully, |
[475.84 --> 477.10] more and more like my Savior. |
[477.82 --> 478.08] It, |
[478.08 --> 478.84] it played |
[478.84 --> 480.46] a significant role |
[480.46 --> 481.04] in my life. |
[481.90 --> 482.32] Again, |
[482.70 --> 483.28] hard work, |
[483.66 --> 484.50] this living out |
[484.50 --> 485.28] of our identity |
[485.28 --> 486.02] of forgiveness |
[486.02 --> 486.80] and reconciliation. |
[486.80 --> 488.58] And I want to suggest |
[488.58 --> 490.26] from Jesus and Paul's teaching |
[490.26 --> 490.78] this morning, |
[491.32 --> 493.02] that it is our Christian duty. |
[493.78 --> 494.92] It is our mission, |
[495.08 --> 495.72] our identity, |
[496.26 --> 497.76] to fulfill the law of Christ |
[497.76 --> 499.32] and carry each other's burdens, |
[499.54 --> 500.72] as Paul says in Galatians. |
[501.06 --> 502.82] To confront sin. |
[504.22 --> 505.22] We don't let that go. |
[505.98 --> 507.58] But seek reconciliation |
[507.58 --> 509.22] with gentleness and love. |
[509.46 --> 510.34] And in this way, |
[510.52 --> 511.50] we get to embody |
[511.50 --> 512.70] and reflect |
[512.70 --> 513.70] the forgiving, |
[514.10 --> 514.90] loving goodness |
[514.90 --> 516.00] of our God, |
[516.00 --> 517.64] so that we may be |
[517.64 --> 519.10] witnesses for the world. |
[519.46 --> 520.20] A glimpse, |
[520.40 --> 521.82] maybe just a small glimpse, |
[522.00 --> 522.68] but a glimpse |
[522.68 --> 525.36] of what being real humans |
[525.36 --> 526.32] looks like. |
[526.98 --> 528.90] A community of real people, |
[529.98 --> 531.44] real broken human beings |
[531.44 --> 532.34] that come together, |
[532.46 --> 533.14] try to reflect |
[533.14 --> 534.10] the goodness of God |
[534.10 --> 535.62] because we're all forgiven. |
[536.22 --> 537.44] And we try to seek |
[537.44 --> 538.80] reconciliation together. |
[539.68 --> 540.44] And that's the key, |
[540.58 --> 540.90] isn't it? |
[541.36 --> 542.44] We're seeking |
[542.44 --> 543.88] reconciliation together. |
[544.50 --> 545.12] The Bible |
[545.12 --> 545.92] and Jesus |
[545.92 --> 546.34] and Paul, |
[546.44 --> 547.02] whoever it is, |
[547.08 --> 547.78] they're not naive. |
[548.02 --> 549.10] They don't simply say, |
[549.28 --> 549.58] all right, |
[549.76 --> 551.04] you enter the church doors, |
[551.32 --> 551.92] you're forgiven, |
[552.04 --> 552.90] you know your identity, |
[553.28 --> 554.42] all problem solved, |
[554.52 --> 555.62] you don't need reconciliation. |
[556.30 --> 557.66] Everyone is just perfect. |
