[1482.84 --> 1483.98] by our own strength
[1483.98 --> 1484.78] but by the one
[1484.78 --> 1486.08] who lives in me.
[1486.70 --> 1487.94] And that's the good news
[1487.94 --> 1489.04] because man
[1489.04 --> 1489.68] is it hard
[1489.68 --> 1490.36] to not
[1490.36 --> 1491.48] love the world.
[1491.48 --> 1495.42] Satan's lies
[1495.42 --> 1496.10] and deceptions
[1496.10 --> 1498.18] my own sinful nature
[1498.18 --> 1499.14] waging war
[1499.14 --> 1499.74] within me
[1499.74 --> 1500.94] and then the world
[1500.94 --> 1501.60] telling me
[1501.60 --> 1502.96] that this sinful nature
[1502.96 --> 1503.96] is normal
[1503.96 --> 1504.72] and sometimes
[1504.72 --> 1505.52] even good.
[1506.86 --> 1508.76] It's so deceptive.
[1510.20 --> 1511.94] It's a daunting fight
[1511.94 --> 1512.90] that we face.
[1515.58 --> 1517.02] But the good news
[1517.02 --> 1518.14] is that our fight
[1518.14 --> 1518.70] is won
[1518.70 --> 1520.16] through our Lord
[1520.16 --> 1521.06] Jesus Christ.
[1521.48 --> 1521.92] Again,
[1522.04 --> 1523.60] not by our own strength
[1523.60 --> 1524.42] because Jesus
[1524.42 --> 1525.60] took all this
[1525.60 --> 1526.40] brokenness,
[1526.56 --> 1527.34] all of it
[1527.34 --> 1528.66] against Satan
[1528.66 --> 1530.76] because of our sins,
[1531.00 --> 1531.56] because of the
[1531.56 --> 1532.46] brokenness of the world.
[1532.56 --> 1533.14] He put it on
[1533.14 --> 1534.58] his own shoulders,
[1534.92 --> 1536.32] gave up his own life
[1536.32 --> 1537.20] so that we
[1537.20 --> 1538.44] may have life
[1538.44 --> 1539.18] because
[1539.18 --> 1540.70] for the wages
[1540.70 --> 1541.32] of sin
[1541.32 --> 1542.06] is death
[1542.06 --> 1544.40] but the gift
[1544.40 --> 1545.02] of God
[1545.02 --> 1546.24] is eternal life
[1546.24 --> 1547.02] in Christ Jesus
[1547.02 --> 1547.62] our Lord.
[1547.86 --> 1548.56] That's what
[1548.56 --> 1549.80] we live in.
[1550.38 --> 1551.36] That's the hope
[1551.36 --> 1552.42] that is our
[1552.42 --> 1553.28] foundation.
[1553.68 --> 1554.64] We don't live
[1554.64 --> 1556.06] to love the world.
[1556.44 --> 1557.32] We belong
[1557.32 --> 1558.00] to God.
[1558.86 --> 1559.56] All praise
[1559.56 --> 1560.14] to him
[1560.14 --> 1561.66] who loves us
[1561.66 --> 1562.24] to life.
[1562.74 --> 1563.28] We live
[1563.28 --> 1564.68] in this gospel story.
[1565.26 --> 1566.40] That is our identity
[1566.40 --> 1567.26] and calling hope.
[1567.92 --> 1568.48] Be blessed,
[1568.62 --> 1569.34] be encouraged.
[1569.84 --> 1570.38] You belong
[1570.38 --> 1571.20] to our maker
[1571.20 --> 1572.28] and our redeemer.
[1573.28 --> 1573.88] Amen.
[1574.24 --> 1574.82] Let's pray.
[1574.82 --> 1574.92] Lord.
[1581.88 --> 1583.00] Loving Father,
[1584.00 --> 1586.58] we come before you
[1586.58 --> 1588.16] in humility
[1588.16 --> 1589.06] and gratitude
[1589.06 --> 1592.50] because what can we boast,
[1592.70 --> 1592.82] Lord?
[1593.82 --> 1595.38] What have we done
[1595.38 --> 1596.22] and accomplished
[1596.22 --> 1598.84] against the enemy,
[1600.32 --> 1601.42] against the world,
[1602.32 --> 1603.18] against ourselves?
[1603.18 --> 1605.86] what sin
[1605.86 --> 1607.02] have we beaten
[1607.02 --> 1609.10] and overcome
[1609.10 --> 1610.38] by our own strength?
[1612.70 --> 1613.30] Lord,
[1613.36 --> 1614.36] we depend on you
[1614.36 --> 1616.36] and we confess
[1616.36 --> 1617.00] before you
[1617.00 --> 1617.98] that we live
[1617.98 --> 1620.20] not by our own strength
[1620.20 --> 1622.40] but by your love,
[1622.98 --> 1624.20] by your presence
[1624.20 --> 1625.14] living in us.
