[1276.16 --> 1276.80] as Christians
[1276.80 --> 1278.30] within Christian community.
[1280.70 --> 1281.86] So let me just get right
[1281.86 --> 1282.62] in your business here.
[1282.68 --> 1283.28] You ready for it?
[1285.06 --> 1286.50] What's the stuff
[1286.50 --> 1288.62] that's breaking
[1288.62 --> 1289.88] your fellowship with God?
[1291.88 --> 1292.76] What's the stuff
[1292.76 --> 1293.30] that's really
[1293.30 --> 1294.24] wrecking relationship
[1294.24 --> 1295.04] with a friend,
[1295.26 --> 1296.16] a friend,
[1296.24 --> 1296.88] a coworker,
[1297.04 --> 1297.78] a classmate,
[1298.06 --> 1298.70] a child,
[1298.80 --> 1299.24] a parent,
[1299.32 --> 1299.98] or a spouse?
[1301.18 --> 1301.54] Where,
[1301.74 --> 1302.42] even as you hear
[1302.42 --> 1303.52] this word this morning,
[1304.26 --> 1305.46] where are you just feeling
[1305.46 --> 1306.32] that natural,
[1306.50 --> 1307.12] prodding,
[1307.28 --> 1308.20] spirit conviction?
[1309.88 --> 1310.76] What's the habit
[1310.76 --> 1311.56] that you're just tripping
[1311.56 --> 1312.52] over and over
[1312.52 --> 1313.54] and over again?
[1313.54 --> 1316.10] the invitation
[1316.10 --> 1317.40] of God's word
[1317.40 --> 1319.10] is to bring it
[1319.10 --> 1319.78] to the light.
[1320.94 --> 1321.96] Bring it into confession
[1321.96 --> 1322.70] with your father
[1322.70 --> 1323.44] who loves you.
[1324.10 --> 1324.90] Bring it into confession
[1324.90 --> 1326.30] with the advocate Jesus
[1326.30 --> 1327.28] who is for you
[1327.28 --> 1328.98] and discover freedom
[1328.98 --> 1329.88] and healing
[1329.88 --> 1330.66] and renewal.
[1332.74 --> 1333.72] I want to finish
[1333.72 --> 1334.48] our time together
[1334.48 --> 1335.38] by focusing on
[1335.38 --> 1336.06] my favorite part
[1336.06 --> 1336.72] of the passage,
[1337.08 --> 1338.42] which is chapter two.
[1338.76 --> 1339.28] Let me read it
[1339.28 --> 1339.94] for us again.
[1339.94 --> 1342.32] My dear children,
[1342.44 --> 1343.16] I write this to you
[1343.16 --> 1344.52] so that you will not sin
[1344.52 --> 1345.44] because,
[1345.64 --> 1346.06] by the way,
[1346.18 --> 1347.12] sin is not inevitable
[1347.12 --> 1347.78] now that the work
[1347.78 --> 1348.74] of Jesus is finished.
[1349.34 --> 1350.76] But if anybody does sin,
[1350.86 --> 1352.26] we have an advocate
[1352.26 --> 1353.20] with the Father,
[1353.74 --> 1354.68] Jesus Christ,
[1354.92 --> 1355.90] the righteous one.
[1356.48 --> 1357.88] He is the atoning
[1357.88 --> 1359.62] sacrifice for our sins
[1359.62 --> 1360.86] and not only for ours
[1360.86 --> 1362.38] but also for the sins
[1362.38 --> 1364.62] of the whole world.
[1365.26 --> 1366.44] Just feel the power
[1366.44 --> 1367.48] of the cross of Jesus.
[1368.14 --> 1369.34] The reason God
[1369.34 --> 1370.46] sends his son
[1370.46 --> 1371.80] is to seek
[1371.80 --> 1372.80] and save the lost.
[1373.16 --> 1374.20] The reason God
[1374.20 --> 1375.18] sends Jesus,
[1375.32 --> 1376.48] the incarnate word,
[1376.80 --> 1378.20] is so that lost children
[1378.20 --> 1379.32] can find freedom
[1379.32 --> 1379.82] and fellowship
[1379.82 --> 1380.48] once again
[1380.48 --> 1381.60] through the cross.
[1382.46 --> 1383.58] God was delighted
[1383.58 --> 1384.94] to accomplish
[1384.94 --> 1385.82] for his world
[1385.82 --> 1386.88] and for his church
[1386.88 --> 1387.86] salvation.
[1389.16 --> 1390.20] He was delighted
[1390.20 --> 1391.22] to make this happen.
[1391.34 --> 1391.58] Yes,
[1391.74 --> 1392.26] it came through
[1392.26 --> 1393.76] excruciating sacrifice
[1393.76 --> 1394.94] but God,
[1395.04 --> 1395.68] Father, Son,
[1395.74 --> 1396.16] and Spirit
[1396.16 --> 1397.96] together in perfect unity
[1397.96 --> 1398.80] said this is how
[1398.80 --> 1399.66] it's going to be.
[1400.38 --> 1401.38] The Son of God
[1401.38 --> 1402.78] for the sake of the world
