[1670.78 --> 1671.68] the deceptive message |
[1671.68 --> 1672.22] of the world? |
[1672.90 --> 1673.68] You do you. |
[1675.20 --> 1676.80] Just follow your heart. |
[1677.56 --> 1678.70] You don't need me |
[1678.70 --> 1679.82] to point out your fault |
[1679.82 --> 1681.28] or your bad patterns |
[1681.28 --> 1682.56] or unhealthy patterns |
[1682.56 --> 1684.10] to speak into your life |
[1684.10 --> 1685.84] or journey toward growth together. |
[1686.26 --> 1686.46] No, |
[1686.70 --> 1688.38] that's way too much work. |
[1689.20 --> 1689.46] Okay, |
[1689.56 --> 1690.28] but we're a church. |
[1690.34 --> 1691.18] We need to try, right? |
[1691.28 --> 1691.74] Oh, right. |
[1691.84 --> 1692.10] Okay, |
[1692.42 --> 1693.14] we'll just hire |
[1693.14 --> 1694.06] and pay the pastors |
[1694.06 --> 1694.70] to do that. |
[1695.76 --> 1696.84] That's good enough, right? |
[1698.30 --> 1698.66] Now, |
[1698.70 --> 1699.50] I'm not trying to avoid |
[1699.50 --> 1700.54] responsibility here. |
[1700.88 --> 1701.58] We here |
[1701.58 --> 1703.14] even have a pastor of care |
[1703.14 --> 1704.60] who says that |
[1704.60 --> 1705.72] the rest of us don't care. |
[1706.10 --> 1706.52] We do. |
[1706.64 --> 1707.14] We try. |
[1707.80 --> 1709.12] But this calling |
[1709.12 --> 1710.86] and Paul's exhortation |
[1710.86 --> 1711.78] for the church |
[1711.78 --> 1713.06] is to carry |
[1713.06 --> 1714.12] one another's burdens. |
[1714.82 --> 1715.96] He did not write |
[1715.96 --> 1716.46] his letter |
[1716.46 --> 1718.04] to the Galatian Community Church |
[1718.04 --> 1720.02] just for the pastors. |
[1720.92 --> 1721.80] He wrote it |
[1721.80 --> 1722.82] to the whole church |
[1722.82 --> 1723.84] and he said |
[1723.84 --> 1726.20] carry each other's burdens. |
[1729.78 --> 1731.56] It's for the whole community. |
[1732.02 --> 1733.04] It's our identity |
[1733.04 --> 1734.96] as the body of Christ, |
[1735.10 --> 1736.12] all of us together. |
[1737.74 --> 1738.96] And so this commentator |
[1738.96 --> 1740.04] sums it up very well |
[1740.04 --> 1742.26] as he writes on Matthew 18. |
[1743.16 --> 1743.88] He says, |
[1743.88 --> 1745.44] real lovelessness, |
[1746.26 --> 1747.16] wrong judging, |
[1747.80 --> 1749.54] is to drop another person |
[1749.54 --> 1750.08] altogether |
[1750.08 --> 1751.88] without any attempt |
[1751.88 --> 1753.14] at speaking, |
[1753.56 --> 1754.90] at seeking conversations, |
[1755.16 --> 1755.50] repentance, |
[1755.72 --> 1757.00] or reconciliation at all. |
[1758.22 --> 1759.26] But in Jesus' |
[1759.56 --> 1760.92] radical teaching of grace, |
[1761.72 --> 1762.58] the sinner |
[1762.58 --> 1763.98] is taken seriously |
[1763.98 --> 1764.70] as a person |
[1764.70 --> 1765.44] and is treated |
[1765.44 --> 1767.46] as his teaching shows, |
[1767.56 --> 1768.72] as his sequence shows, |
[1768.72 --> 1770.16] with an impressive |
[1770.16 --> 1771.82] carefulness. |
[1771.82 --> 1774.48] In this way, |
[1775.04 --> 1776.12] when we seek |
[1776.12 --> 1777.50] reconciliation like this |
[1777.50 --> 1778.36] with gentleness |
[1778.36 --> 1779.06] and care, |
[1779.52 --> 1780.58] we embody |
[1780.58 --> 1781.46] a lifestyle, |
[1782.46 --> 1783.16] a lifestyle |
[1783.16 --> 1784.00] of forgiveness, |
[1784.62 --> 1785.24] a lifestyle |
[1785.24 --> 1786.92] that is spirit-led. |
[1787.26 --> 1788.52] Because when the church |
[1788.52 --> 1789.84] disciplines Christians, |
[1790.66 --> 1791.84] when we discipline |
[1791.84 --> 1792.52] each other |
[1792.52 --> 1793.56] out of care |
[1793.56 --> 1794.28] and gentleness, |
[1794.82 --> 1796.58] we more effectively |
[1796.58 --> 1796.82] disciple |
[1797.34 --> 1798.38] non-Christians. |
[1799.40 --> 1800.22] Simply put, |
[1800.40 --> 1801.20] it starts here. |
[1801.82 --> 1803.00] It starts here. |
[1803.88 --> 1804.80] That is our calling. |
[1805.32 --> 1806.28] This is our Christian |
[1806.28 --> 1807.88] mandate as the church. |
[1808.26 --> 1808.74] A humble, |
[1809.18 --> 1810.02] gentle posture |
[1810.02 --> 1811.02] of seeking healing, |
[1811.40 --> 1811.78] forgiveness, |
