[1352.58 --> 1353.90] As we witness
[1353.90 --> 1354.84] and we continue
[1354.84 --> 1355.64] to live out
[1355.64 --> 1356.56] our identity
[1356.56 --> 1357.48] as loved
[1357.48 --> 1358.30] by our maker.
[1359.04 --> 1359.76] And this love
[1359.76 --> 1360.50] overflows
[1360.50 --> 1361.76] and we get
[1361.76 --> 1362.32] to bless
[1362.32 --> 1363.22] those around us
[1363.22 --> 1364.30] with this love.
[1368.26 --> 1369.38] That's our identity
[1369.38 --> 1370.14] and calling hope.
[1370.52 --> 1371.48] And this image
[1371.48 --> 1372.10] is captured
[1372.10 --> 1372.78] so beautifully
[1372.78 --> 1373.46] in the phrase.
[1373.82 --> 1374.52] I believe this is
[1374.52 --> 1375.04] what our youth
[1375.04 --> 1375.80] is doing right now
[1375.80 --> 1376.76] in this season as well.
[1377.30 --> 1377.80] We are
[1377.80 --> 1379.18] in the world
[1379.18 --> 1381.48] not of the world.
[1382.00 --> 1382.68] Very simple,
[1382.80 --> 1383.30] very catchy.
[1383.76 --> 1384.98] Simple truth
[1384.98 --> 1386.10] of our identity.
[1386.48 --> 1387.46] We are in the world.
[1387.56 --> 1388.68] We're definitely in it.
[1388.68 --> 1390.42] The banners show us
[1390.42 --> 1391.36] we are in it
[1391.36 --> 1392.06] and we're struggling
[1392.06 --> 1392.76] against it.
[1393.60 --> 1395.28] But the important part is
[1395.28 --> 1396.84] we are not of it.
[1396.94 --> 1398.30] We do not belong to it.
[1398.50 --> 1399.66] And we are in it
[1399.66 --> 1401.58] for its restoration.
[1402.32 --> 1403.56] We are in the world
[1403.56 --> 1405.20] to reflect God's love
[1405.20 --> 1406.12] for the world.
[1410.00 --> 1411.58] We belong to God
[1411.58 --> 1412.86] and in His love
[1412.86 --> 1413.98] we are called to be
[1413.98 --> 1414.58] again
[1414.58 --> 1416.22] for the world's
[1416.22 --> 1417.18] blessing and restoration.
[1417.90 --> 1418.62] We are called to be
[1418.62 --> 1419.02] a witness
[1419.02 --> 1420.12] to the love of God
[1420.12 --> 1421.06] our maker
[1421.06 --> 1421.72] and redeemer
[1421.72 --> 1423.00] because He is
[1423.00 --> 1423.80] the true source
[1423.80 --> 1424.74] of happiness
[1424.74 --> 1425.62] and wholeness
[1425.62 --> 1426.94] not the world
[1426.94 --> 1428.10] or anything in it.
[1429.90 --> 1430.30] And so
[1430.30 --> 1432.28] to land the plane here
[1432.28 --> 1434.22] how do we live
[1434.22 --> 1434.92] in the world
[1434.92 --> 1436.58] for the world
[1436.58 --> 1437.80] but not of it?
[1438.80 --> 1440.00] How do you do that
[1440.00 --> 1440.94] practically speaking
[1440.94 --> 1442.56] as God's people
[1442.56 --> 1443.90] who share in this identity?
[1443.90 --> 1446.18] it's again
[1446.18 --> 1447.30] the Sunday school answer
[1447.30 --> 1448.50] Jesus.
[1449.18 --> 1450.16] We do it
[1450.16 --> 1451.32] by the power
[1451.32 --> 1452.22] of the resurrection.
[1453.78 --> 1455.02] Next week for Easter
[1455.02 --> 1455.70] that's what we get
[1455.70 --> 1456.48] to reflect on.
[1457.34 --> 1458.48] That He is risen.
[1459.74 --> 1460.76] That He is
[1460.76 --> 1461.88] more powerful
[1461.88 --> 1463.12] than any struggle
[1463.12 --> 1464.04] that we can face.
[1464.90 --> 1466.48] He is our foundation.
[1467.00 --> 1468.36] Because as I mentioned
[1468.36 --> 1468.76] before
[1468.76 --> 1469.80] Jesus faced
[1469.80 --> 1470.78] the same temptations
[1470.78 --> 1471.56] that we face
[1471.56 --> 1472.18] from the enemy
[1472.18 --> 1473.68] and from the world
[1473.68 --> 1475.02] and in the same way
[1475.02 --> 1475.72] we can overcome
[1475.72 --> 1476.44] and resist
[1476.44 --> 1477.40] the patterns
[1477.40 --> 1478.20] of this world
[1478.20 --> 1480.02] won by the victory
[1480.02 --> 1480.84] on the cross.
[1482.10 --> 1482.84] It is not
