[559.14 --> 559.42] No.
[559.76 --> 560.68] They know
[560.68 --> 561.90] that we are broken.
[562.50 --> 562.72] They,
[563.32 --> 563.58] they,
[563.72 --> 564.00] I mean,
[564.18 --> 564.98] Jesus and Paul,
[565.44 --> 566.18] they know
[566.18 --> 568.32] that we are broken
[568.32 --> 569.76] and we need guidance
[569.76 --> 570.22] and help
[570.22 --> 571.20] every step of the way.
[573.14 --> 574.96] We seek reconciliation
[574.96 --> 576.24] through the power
[576.24 --> 577.02] of forgiveness
[577.02 --> 579.38] because we are a people
[579.38 --> 580.50] who have been saved
[580.50 --> 581.56] by that same power.
[582.06 --> 583.00] We'll talk about it more.
[583.22 --> 584.36] That's the starting place.
[585.12 --> 586.32] That's the starting place.
[586.88 --> 588.28] We experienced
[588.28 --> 590.28] the power of forgiveness.
[590.28 --> 592.56] So with this in mind,
[592.74 --> 593.60] with that goal,
[593.76 --> 594.98] with gentleness and care,
[595.54 --> 596.48] it is significant
[596.48 --> 597.16] to define
[597.16 --> 598.36] what Jesus and Paul meant
[598.36 --> 599.56] when they mention
[599.56 --> 600.72] a brother or sister
[600.72 --> 601.34] who sins,
[601.72 --> 602.34] or you can say
[602.34 --> 603.84] who is caught in a sin.
[604.64 --> 605.22] And here,
[605.38 --> 606.16] we're not talking
[606.16 --> 606.88] simply about
[606.88 --> 608.12] some one-off mistakes
[608.12 --> 609.94] or some unintended actions
[609.94 --> 611.20] that may have been hurtful.
[611.96 --> 613.28] We are talking about
[613.28 --> 614.04] a deliberate
[614.04 --> 615.84] pattern of life
[615.84 --> 617.28] that hinders the growth
[617.28 --> 618.24] and the flourishing
[618.24 --> 619.58] of the body of Christ,
[619.68 --> 620.22] the church.
[621.54 --> 622.40] So this is what
[622.40 --> 623.12] they're talking about
[623.12 --> 624.68] when they talk about sin.
[625.26 --> 626.24] It's a pattern of life.
[626.58 --> 627.16] And Val today,
[627.24 --> 627.66] this morning,
[627.76 --> 629.08] opened up with Psalm 1,
[629.16 --> 630.92] which was very appropriate
[630.92 --> 632.60] because Psalm 1 says,
[632.88 --> 633.48] Blessed are the people
[633.48 --> 635.20] who do not walk
[635.20 --> 636.36] in step with the wicked
[636.36 --> 637.96] or stand or sit.
[638.20 --> 639.70] This is a pattern of life.
[639.96 --> 640.28] Again,
[640.40 --> 641.76] not a one-and-done thing
[641.76 --> 642.98] in the pattern of sin either.
[643.38 --> 644.98] Not just unintended mistakes
[644.98 --> 646.02] that hurt somebody's feelings.
[646.30 --> 647.26] There is a place for that.
[647.28 --> 648.74] But when we talk
[648.74 --> 649.62] about sin here,
[649.92 --> 650.70] a brother or sister
[650.70 --> 652.16] who is caught in a sin,
[652.22 --> 653.10] a pattern of life,
[653.90 --> 655.96] that's when we are given
[655.96 --> 657.72] the duty to carefully,
[658.34 --> 660.14] with care and gentleness,
[660.38 --> 661.34] confront the sin.
[661.90 --> 663.62] We do not want to brush it off
[663.62 --> 664.26] and let it go.
[665.08 --> 666.34] That's the easy thing to do.
[666.64 --> 667.34] But that's not what
[667.34 --> 668.24] we're called to do.
[669.58 --> 671.04] So the Greek verb
[671.04 --> 671.88] that is used here,
[671.98 --> 672.44] translated,
[672.82 --> 673.22] point out,
[673.28 --> 673.82] in our NIV,
[673.96 --> 674.28] it says,
[674.68 --> 675.92] go and point out
[675.92 --> 676.76] to your brother's
[676.76 --> 678.16] brother or sister's sin.
[679.36 --> 680.88] Or in different translation,
[681.06 --> 681.68] it says confront.
[682.00 --> 683.08] The Greek word here
[683.08 --> 683.80] is alecho.
[684.20 --> 685.28] And it actually means
[685.28 --> 686.08] to confront,
[686.42 --> 686.68] yes,
[687.02 --> 687.78] to convict.
[688.04 --> 688.86] It also means
[688.86 --> 689.76] to expose.
