[1023.20 --> 1024.16] We are loosed.
[1024.84 --> 1025.58] We are free
[1025.58 --> 1027.12] to serve Jesus,
[1027.46 --> 1028.58] to have our sins forgiven.
[1028.88 --> 1030.20] That loosens us,
[1030.26 --> 1031.30] that frees us.
[1031.58 --> 1032.66] But we are also under
[1032.66 --> 1034.46] the authority of Scripture.
[1034.76 --> 1035.74] So some things are bound.
[1036.00 --> 1036.92] We don't just live
[1036.92 --> 1038.68] any way we feel like it.
[1042.10 --> 1042.96] Why do you do
[1042.96 --> 1044.32] this or this or this?
[1044.76 --> 1045.68] Well, that's what Scripture says.
[1046.84 --> 1047.56] Yeah, but, you know,
[1047.60 --> 1048.06] that's not the way
[1048.06 --> 1049.04] you do things in the world today.
[1049.20 --> 1049.88] No, it doesn't matter.
[1051.14 --> 1052.16] This is what Scripture says.
[1052.22 --> 1053.24] This is what the Holy Spirit
[1053.24 --> 1053.84] leads me to do.
[1053.92 --> 1054.50] This is what the Holy Spirit
[1054.50 --> 1055.18] leads us to do.
[1055.34 --> 1056.54] We do this together.
[1056.54 --> 1058.82] It shows up in the way we live.
[1059.22 --> 1060.94] Actions speak louder than words.
[1061.82 --> 1062.68] And I have to confess,
[1062.78 --> 1063.60] and I'm sure you do too,
[1064.34 --> 1067.06] my actions and my confessions
[1067.06 --> 1069.80] don't always align very well.
[1070.98 --> 1071.64] You ever have that?
[1073.24 --> 1073.98] You say, wow, wow,
[1074.08 --> 1074.24] you know,
[1074.30 --> 1075.88] I use the name of Jesus
[1075.88 --> 1076.76] and I live sometimes
[1076.76 --> 1078.42] in ways very contrary to that.
[1080.58 --> 1081.94] Very contrary to that.
[1081.94 --> 1083.26] So, yes,
[1083.44 --> 1085.68] let's confess Jesus is Lord
[1085.68 --> 1087.34] and then let's live out of that
[1087.34 --> 1088.44] within our relationships.
[1090.84 --> 1091.78] How's that going for you?
[1093.96 --> 1095.14] Jesus is my Messiah.
[1095.28 --> 1096.04] How's that showing up
[1096.04 --> 1096.52] in your marriage,
[1096.58 --> 1097.14] in your friendships?
[1098.80 --> 1099.94] The way you treat your kids.
[1100.88 --> 1101.74] Jesus is Lord.
[1102.00 --> 1102.74] How's that going
[1102.74 --> 1103.54] with your bank account?
[1104.18 --> 1105.38] Jesus is Lord and Messiah.
[1105.62 --> 1106.18] How's that going
[1106.18 --> 1107.36] with the use of your daily time?
[1107.64 --> 1108.58] Jesus is Lord and Messiah.
[1108.68 --> 1109.46] How's that going
[1109.46 --> 1111.10] with how you start your day
[1111.10 --> 1111.80] and live your day
[1111.80 --> 1112.46] and make decisions?
[1115.26 --> 1117.04] It shows up in how you live.
[1118.02 --> 1119.10] Let's keep looking
[1119.10 --> 1120.46] for misalignment
[1120.46 --> 1121.70] between what we say
[1121.70 --> 1122.58] and what we do.
[1122.84 --> 1125.20] That's a huge piece of life
[1125.20 --> 1126.88] where I'm misaligned here.
[1126.94 --> 1128.12] I say this and I do this.
[1128.26 --> 1129.66] I've got to bring these two together
[1129.66 --> 1130.18] more and more
[1130.18 --> 1131.40] through the power of God's Spirit
[1131.40 --> 1132.84] and through the truth of His Word.
[1134.04 --> 1135.10] Does all of what I do
[1135.10 --> 1136.90] reflect what I say about Jesus?
[1137.74 --> 1138.68] Am I willing to be
[1138.68 --> 1140.24] continually transformed,
[1140.62 --> 1141.94] continually changed,
[1143.32 --> 1146.38] resting in the knowledge
[1146.38 --> 1147.74] that Jesus is our rock
[1147.74 --> 1148.96] and in Him we are victorious.
[1150.02 --> 1151.98] And then we can rest in this too
[1151.98 --> 1153.84] and not even the gates of hell
[1153.84 --> 1154.58] can prevail.
[1156.22 --> 1158.86] Hell itself cannot change
[1158.86 --> 1161.96] the trajectory Jesus has you on.
[1164.84 --> 1165.58] So yes,
[1166.38 --> 1167.44] we are given authority.
[1167.44 --> 1168.70] Keys of the kingdom.
[1169.00 --> 1171.48] But the point isn't Peter's authority
[1171.48 --> 1172.16] or our authority.
[1172.44 --> 1173.80] The point is that the gates of hell
[1173.80 --> 1174.42] will not prevail
[1174.42 --> 1176.04] because Jesus is our rock.
[1178.20 --> 1179.32] Picture that scene again,
[1179.38 --> 1180.12] that opening scene.
[1180.24 --> 1181.26] There we stand
[1181.26 --> 1184.46] at the entrance of the cave
[1184.46 --> 1186.24] of other options,
[1187.30 --> 1190.04] of lies about where authority lies.
[1192.18 --> 1193.20] Lies that say,
[1193.50 --> 1195.02] authority is over here,
[1195.26 --> 1196.04] authority is over here.
