[1498.66 --> 1500.80] he's coming for you |
[1500.80 --> 1502.84] in every area of life |
[1502.84 --> 1504.24] to give you freedom |
[1504.24 --> 1509.64] he's coming for your finances he's coming for your time he's coming for your sabbath he's coming for all the dimensions |
[1509.64 --> 1512.04] and he's coming for your sexual freedom as well |
[1512.04 --> 1517.36] don't be surprised if god brings into your life people who are willing to talk to you about it |
[1517.36 --> 1520.64] or ask you questions about it so that you can experience healing and renewal |
[1520.64 --> 1524.14] don't be surprised when circumstances allow new opportunities |
[1524.14 --> 1526.54] for you to confess and repent and experience |
[1526.54 --> 1529.26] liberation because that's what jesus is on about |
[1529.26 --> 1532.02] and let me speak now very personally from my own experience |
[1532.02 --> 1539.22] i have learned as i deal with my own sexual brokenness and most of us haven't okay not just me |
[1539.22 --> 1542.66] that jesus christ is so kind |
[1542.66 --> 1545.42] he is so patient |
[1545.42 --> 1548.38] and he is so full of mercy |
[1548.38 --> 1554.50] we often think when we imagine the worst stuff we've done or the things that we are so ashamed of and never spoken out loud |
[1554.50 --> 1559.22] we imagine jesus just ready to pounce on judgment when jesus invites us into freedom |
[1559.22 --> 1563.54] he invites us into an embrace that leads to life |
[1563.54 --> 1564.94] he is so kind |
[1564.94 --> 1566.86] he is so merciful |
[1566.86 --> 1568.94] he is so full of compassion |
[1568.94 --> 1572.72] and to those of you who have maybe never talked to anyone about the brokenness you face |
[1572.72 --> 1573.40] the shame you face |
[1573.40 --> 1574.84] it's time to find that person |
[1574.84 --> 1577.76] and experience the invitation from jesus himself |
[1577.76 --> 1581.16] to be set free in the areas of sexuality |
[1581.16 --> 1587.04] maybe my favorite part of this passage although it's hard to pick |
[1587.04 --> 1591.84] is how paul's speaking to a very sexually broken community in corinth right |
[1591.84 --> 1593.54] they've got lots of stuff going on |
[1593.54 --> 1596.32] like imagine having to deal with incest in your church |
[1596.32 --> 1597.62] paul's dealing with that in corinth |
[1597.62 --> 1599.76] and still paul says to this church |
[1599.76 --> 1601.64] with all their mess going on |
[1601.64 --> 1603.82] he says you were |
[1603.82 --> 1605.70] bought at a price |
[1605.70 --> 1606.64] did you hear that |
[1606.64 --> 1608.72] you were bought at a price |
[1608.72 --> 1611.14] that is the finished work of jesus is behind us |
[1611.14 --> 1613.94] and it means you now have been rescued by the work of the cross |
[1613.94 --> 1616.08] secondly he says you are |
[1616.08 --> 1618.44] temples of the holy spirit |
[1618.44 --> 1621.32] so this broken sexually confused |
[1621.32 --> 1623.72] called this community in the corinthian church |
[1623.72 --> 1624.20] culture |
[1624.20 --> 1625.34] paul says |
[1625.34 --> 1626.78] you've been bought with a price |
[1626.78 --> 1628.96] the work of jesus is for you |
[1628.96 --> 1631.14] the spirit dwells in the midst of you |
[1631.14 --> 1631.86] and therefore |
[1631.86 --> 1634.20] you can be free church |
[1634.20 --> 1636.06] and if it's true for them |
[1636.06 --> 1637.08] it's true for us |
[1637.08 --> 1637.80] amen |
[1637.80 --> 1640.46] if sexual liberation is true for corinth |
[1640.46 --> 1641.32] it's true for surrey |
[1641.32 --> 1642.90] let's take hold of that |
[1642.90 --> 1645.22] and maybe if you're a note taker |
[1645.22 --> 1646.46] this is the note to write down |
[1646.46 --> 1646.84] and memorize |
[1646.84 --> 1647.56] and come back to |
[1647.56 --> 1648.94] as you face your own brokenness |
[1648.94 --> 1649.48] here it is |
[1649.48 --> 1651.20] because the cross is empty |
[1651.20 --> 1652.68] and the grave is empty |
[1652.68 --> 1653.82] we are free |
[1653.82 --> 1654.86] to flee |
[1654.86 --> 1656.38] from sexual immorality |
[1656.38 --> 1657.98] i'll say it again |
[1657.98 --> 1659.82] because the cross is empty |
[1659.82 --> 1661.30] you and i are free |
[1661.30 --> 1662.22] to flee |
[1662.22 --> 1663.70] from sexual immorality |
[1663.70 --> 1664.74] there's a new power |
[1664.74 --> 1665.90] that controls our life |
[1665.90 --> 1668.00] william barclay |
[1668.00 --> 1669.24] a commentator in corinthians |
[1669.24 --> 1669.92] writes it this way |
[1669.92 --> 1672.04] and this just resonates in my bones |
[1672.04 --> 1673.38] i hope it's good news to you too |
[1673.38 --> 1674.36] he writes |
[1674.36 --> 1677.04] paul's insistence |
[1677.04 --> 1679.44] that though he is free to do anything |
[1679.44 --> 1680.36] i hope it's on the screen |
[1680.36 --> 1683.70] he will not let anything take control of him |
[1683.70 --> 1685.96] the great fact of the christian faith |
[1685.96 --> 1687.88] is not that it makes us free to sin |
[1687.88 --> 1688.40] hear this |
[1688.40 --> 1690.02] but that it makes us free |
[1690.02 --> 1691.94] to not sin |
[1691.94 --> 1694.52] it is so easy to allow habits |
[1694.52 --> 1695.42] to take control of us |
[1695.42 --> 1696.36] but the christian strength |
[1696.36 --> 1697.06] that is jesus |
[1697.06 --> 1698.22] and his resurrection power |
[1698.22 --> 1700.74] enables us to take control of them |
[1700.74 --> 1702.40] when we really experience |
[1702.40 --> 1703.40] the christian power |
[1703.40 --> 1705.12] we are no longer slaves to our bodies |
[1705.12 --> 1707.02] but take full control of them |
[1707.02 --> 1707.84] praise the lord |
