[542.32 --> 543.40] or love |
[543.40 --> 544.74] two masters. |
[545.62 --> 546.74] And this is exactly |
[546.74 --> 547.64] what Jesus says |
[547.64 --> 548.60] in Matthew 6. |
[548.60 --> 551.06] Jesus says, |
[551.46 --> 552.80] no one can serve |
[552.80 --> 553.68] two masters. |
[554.26 --> 555.14] Either you will |
[555.14 --> 556.10] hate the one |
[556.10 --> 557.60] and love. |
[558.00 --> 558.58] And it's the same |
[558.58 --> 559.36] Greek word here, |
[559.48 --> 559.82] agape. |
[560.22 --> 560.82] You will either |
[560.82 --> 561.72] hate the one |
[561.72 --> 563.14] or agape the other. |
[564.28 --> 565.64] Or you will be |
[565.64 --> 566.88] devoted to the one |
[566.88 --> 568.46] and despise the other. |
[568.94 --> 570.24] You cannot serve |
[570.24 --> 571.28] both God |
[571.28 --> 572.12] and money, |
[572.44 --> 573.06] Jesus says. |
[574.22 --> 575.10] And obviously here, |
[575.16 --> 575.96] Jesus is speaking |
[575.96 --> 576.74] specifically |
[576.74 --> 578.00] about money, |
[578.30 --> 579.00] which is another |
[579.00 --> 580.12] aspect of the world |
[580.12 --> 580.80] that we are called |
[580.80 --> 581.92] to fight and to resist. |
[582.46 --> 583.60] But what is interesting |
[583.60 --> 584.34] here is that |
[584.34 --> 585.26] Jesus uses |
[585.26 --> 586.28] that same word |
[586.28 --> 587.40] agape for love, |
[587.56 --> 589.42] but also equates |
[589.42 --> 590.24] that word, |
[590.38 --> 591.02] that love, |
[591.16 --> 592.30] with two verbs. |
[593.00 --> 593.44] Serving, |
[593.98 --> 595.02] you cannot serve |
[595.02 --> 595.64] two masters, |
[595.98 --> 597.10] and devoting. |
[597.74 --> 598.56] You will be either |
[598.56 --> 599.76] devoted to the one |
[599.76 --> 601.18] and despise the other. |
[601.88 --> 602.88] You cannot serve |
[602.88 --> 604.40] both money |
[604.40 --> 605.08] and God. |
[606.42 --> 607.52] And to continue |
[607.52 --> 608.46] our tradition here, |
[608.82 --> 609.58] I'm not going to steal |
[609.58 --> 610.78] too much from Dave's sermon, |
[611.40 --> 612.96] but from Ephesians 2, |
[613.00 --> 613.22] I mean, |
[613.28 --> 614.00] the other pastors |
[614.00 --> 614.84] steal a lot. |
[615.20 --> 616.06] I'm trying my best |
[616.06 --> 617.46] to break that pattern |
[617.46 --> 617.96] of sin, |
[618.42 --> 619.44] is what we're talking |
[619.44 --> 619.92] about here. |
[622.00 --> 623.04] I'm just quoting |
[623.04 --> 623.96] our theme passage, |
[624.18 --> 625.36] because the theme passage |
[625.36 --> 626.88] for our sermon series |
[626.88 --> 628.22] comes from Ephesians 2. |
[628.50 --> 629.26] And at the beginning |
[629.26 --> 630.44] of Ephesians 2, |
[630.88 --> 631.80] Paul writes this, |
[631.80 --> 633.18] that all of us |
[633.18 --> 633.98] were dead in our |
[633.98 --> 634.72] transgressions |
[634.72 --> 635.42] and our sins. |
[636.82 --> 638.42] And we used to live |
[638.42 --> 639.48] in the ways |
[639.48 --> 640.18] of this world. |
[640.58 --> 641.68] We used to live |
[641.68 --> 642.38] in this world |
[642.38 --> 643.44] and followed |
[643.44 --> 644.32] its patterns, |
[644.44 --> 645.20] is what Paul |
[645.20 --> 645.98] is telling us. |
[646.22 --> 647.28] In other words, |
[647.72 --> 648.90] that total |
[648.90 --> 650.20] holistic commitment |
[650.20 --> 650.86] and loyalty |
[650.86 --> 651.68] to something, |
[652.64 --> 653.60] that was us, |
[653.70 --> 654.44] all of us, |
[654.68 --> 655.82] when we used to live |
[655.82 --> 657.32] according to the ways |
[657.32 --> 657.92] of this world. |
[657.92 --> 660.30] we used to love |
[660.30 --> 661.88] agape the world. |
[663.64 --> 664.50] That's what our |
[664.50 --> 665.14] biblical writers |
[665.14 --> 665.88] are telling us. |
