[1644.48 --> 1645.26] you want to pray
[1645.26 --> 1646.64] into the words I'm speaking,
[1646.74 --> 1647.20] I'm going to give you
[1647.20 --> 1648.12] the freedom to do that.
[1648.38 --> 1649.32] And after we pray
[1649.32 --> 1650.12] words of confession,
[1650.12 --> 1651.02] we're going to celebrate
[1651.02 --> 1651.90] the grace of Jesus
[1651.90 --> 1652.60] through communion.
[1652.60 --> 1652.70] communion.
[1653.70 --> 1654.68] Join me in prayer.
[1665.14 --> 1666.16] Father, we acknowledge
[1666.16 --> 1667.18] that you are the one
[1667.18 --> 1667.96] who leads us
[1667.96 --> 1668.68] out of darkness
[1668.68 --> 1669.68] and into light.
[1671.46 --> 1672.44] You're the one
[1672.44 --> 1672.96] that leads us
[1672.96 --> 1673.62] from slavery
[1673.62 --> 1674.78] into freedom.
[1676.18 --> 1677.62] It is you who leads us
[1677.62 --> 1678.34] from despair
[1678.34 --> 1679.84] into joy.
[1681.30 --> 1682.34] And now we come
[1682.34 --> 1683.18] to you asking
[1683.18 --> 1683.92] for your mercy
[1683.92 --> 1684.78] and your grace.
[1686.46 --> 1687.84] Would you forgive us
[1687.84 --> 1688.70] for rejecting
[1688.70 --> 1689.68] your instruction?
[1690.90 --> 1692.12] For neglecting
[1692.12 --> 1692.78] and denying
[1692.78 --> 1694.04] your word?
[1695.54 --> 1696.58] For avoiding
[1696.58 --> 1697.78] the good news
[1697.78 --> 1698.42] of your scripture?
[1712.34 --> 1720.00] Father, would you forgive us
[1720.00 --> 1721.86] for that which comes
[1721.86 --> 1722.62] out of our mouths?
[1724.26 --> 1725.12] Foolish words,
[1726.36 --> 1727.44] destructive words,
[1728.74 --> 1729.58] angry words,
[1730.92 --> 1731.44] lies,
[1732.10 --> 1732.56] and gossip.
[1732.56 --> 1757.76] Father, would you forgive us
[1757.76 --> 1759.18] for our destructive habits?
[1759.18 --> 1762.58] whether it's hidden addiction,
[1764.10 --> 1765.28] whether it's laziness,
[1766.10 --> 1767.18] whether it's just
[1767.18 --> 1768.38] a poor way of living
[1768.38 --> 1769.84] with people we are to love,
[1770.26 --> 1771.44] but perhaps find ourselves
[1771.44 --> 1771.80] hating,
[1772.90 --> 1773.70] would you meet us
[1773.70 --> 1774.24] in the areas
[1774.24 --> 1775.22] where we are broken
[1775.22 --> 1776.74] within in our habits
[1776.74 --> 1777.90] and our lifestyles?
[1777.90 --> 1791.56] Father,
[1791.56 --> 1806.28] forgive us
[1806.28 --> 1807.28] for concealing
[1807.28 --> 1808.04] our sin,
[1809.74 --> 1810.54] desperately trying
[1810.54 --> 1811.16] to hide it
[1811.16 --> 1811.88] from others,
[1812.96 --> 1813.82] our loved ones,
[1814.82 --> 1815.60] and from you.
[1815.60 --> 1836.66] forgive us,
[1836.76 --> 1836.96] Father.
[1838.76 --> 1839.92] Embrace us again
[1839.92 --> 1840.60] in your mercy
[1840.60 --> 1842.94] and reveal to us
[1842.94 --> 1844.78] the inexhaustible grace
[1844.78 --> 1845.98] that we have
[1845.98 --> 1846.46] in your Son,
[1846.54 --> 1847.28] Jesus Christ.
[1848.22 --> 1848.58] Amen.
[1853.90 --> 1854.58] This time,
[1854.64 --> 1855.26] we're going to celebrate
[1855.26 --> 1856.00] communion together.
• Reflection on facing temptations of the world (1 John chapter 2)
• Normalized sin in culture: example given from Korean culture around drinking
• Definition of "the world" in biblical context: a system of ideas and values that are institutionalized in corrupted cultures
• Warning against loving or being drawn into these normalized patterns of sin
• Sinful nature and disordered desires lead to normalizing sin as acceptable
• The world replaces God as the ultimate source of truth, life, and happiness
• John's letter is a command not to love the world or anything in it
• Loving the world means having a total commitment and loyalty to something other than God
• Agape (total commitment and loyalty) to the world prevents agape for God
• You cannot serve two masters; either you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other
• Jesus discusses the relationship between money and love
• Money is an aspect of the world that we are called to resist
• Agape, or unconditional love, is equated with serving and devoting oneself to one master
• Serving two masters is not possible, including God and money
• The passage from Ephesians 2 describes humanity's former state as dead in sin and following the ways of the world
• Humanity used to live according to the patterns of the world and serve it
• This service to the world was a form of rebellion against God and seeking autonomy from Him
• The struggle against human flesh and sinful nature
• The three roots of the world: lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life
• Lust as a perversion of love and true love (agape)
