[5083.64 --> 5084.30] We need to allow
[5084.30 --> 5085.00] the Holy Spirit
[5085.00 --> 5086.14] to transform us.
[5086.24 --> 5087.34] We need to sit with mentors
[5087.34 --> 5088.46] and with other disciples
[5088.46 --> 5089.54] and we need to study
[5089.54 --> 5090.02] the scriptures.
[5090.46 --> 5091.30] We need to be students
[5091.30 --> 5091.98] of the word
[5091.98 --> 5093.68] so that we can be disciples
[5093.68 --> 5095.28] who live the word.
[5095.28 --> 5098.68] Do this
[5098.68 --> 5100.94] and in doing this
[5100.94 --> 5103.34] we need to ask ourselves
[5103.34 --> 5106.40] what are you consuming?
[5107.40 --> 5108.58] What are you taking in?
[5108.62 --> 5110.50] What are you being instructed in?
[5110.56 --> 5111.74] Whether it's on social media,
[5112.16 --> 5112.96] Instagram or TikTok
[5112.96 --> 5113.96] or Facebook,
[5114.40 --> 5115.26] maybe Facebook is one
[5115.26 --> 5115.94] of the worst places
[5115.94 --> 5116.76] right now for that.
[5117.46 --> 5118.64] Whether it's in podcasts
[5118.64 --> 5119.60] or TV shows,
[5119.68 --> 5120.34] what are the places
[5120.34 --> 5121.60] that you are taking in?
[5121.68 --> 5122.84] Because these things,
[5123.18 --> 5123.86] these spaces,
[5123.86 --> 5124.94] are not neutral.
[5125.38 --> 5126.38] They're all shaping us
[5126.38 --> 5128.02] in a particular way
[5128.02 --> 5129.56] into a particular vision
[5129.56 --> 5130.28] of the true
[5130.28 --> 5131.00] and the good
[5131.00 --> 5131.88] and the beautiful.
[5133.58 --> 5134.94] And I guess the question
[5134.94 --> 5136.66] for you to discern
[5136.66 --> 5138.88] is are you receiving
[5138.88 --> 5139.54] instruction
[5139.54 --> 5140.80] from the sages
[5140.80 --> 5141.78] of this world
[5141.78 --> 5143.12] or are you receiving
[5143.12 --> 5143.68] instruction
[5143.68 --> 5144.48] from the true
[5144.48 --> 5145.82] and better rabbi
[5145.82 --> 5146.80] whose name is Jesus?
[5147.18 --> 5147.90] Are you receiving
[5147.90 --> 5148.44] instruction
[5148.44 --> 5150.02] from the good shepherd?
[5151.02 --> 5151.76] Are you receiving
[5151.76 --> 5152.36] an instruction
[5152.36 --> 5153.40] that shapes you
[5153.40 --> 5154.30] into the kingdom
[5154.30 --> 5154.94] of heaven
[5154.94 --> 5157.28] or are you receiving
[5157.28 --> 5157.82] an instruction
[5157.82 --> 5158.82] that shapes you
[5158.82 --> 5159.84] into a kingdom
[5159.84 --> 5160.66] of your own making?
[5162.10 --> 5162.30] Right?
[5162.38 --> 5165.06] That's full of lesser glories
[5165.06 --> 5166.36] that will fade away.
[5169.16 --> 5170.72] Where are you being instructed?
[5172.72 --> 5173.20] Finally,
[5173.36 --> 5174.60] having deconstructed
[5174.60 --> 5175.36] false beliefs,
[5175.50 --> 5176.14] having been
[5176.14 --> 5176.68] and committed
[5176.68 --> 5177.40] to instruction
[5177.40 --> 5178.58] in the truth,
[5178.58 --> 5180.52] we are reconstructed
[5180.52 --> 5181.48] into the image
[5181.48 --> 5182.78] of Jesus Christ.
[5183.52 --> 5183.84] Instead,
[5184.50 --> 5185.44] speaking the truth
[5185.44 --> 5185.98] in love,
[5186.10 --> 5186.68] we will grow
[5186.68 --> 5187.28] to become
[5187.28 --> 5188.32] in every respect
[5188.32 --> 5189.44] the mature body
[5189.44 --> 5190.00] of him
[5190.00 --> 5191.12] who is the head
[5191.12 --> 5192.66] that is Christ.
[5193.54 --> 5194.62] This is the goal
[5194.62 --> 5196.04] of all discipleship.
[5196.58 --> 5197.58] This is the purpose
[5197.58 --> 5199.56] of works of service
[5199.56 --> 5201.90] that you are invited to,
[5202.04 --> 5202.90] that we could sign up
[5202.90 --> 5203.84] for afterward,
[5204.14 --> 5205.98] that you would grow
[5205.98 --> 5206.92] to become
[5206.92 --> 5208.52] in every respect
[5208.52 --> 5209.80] the mature body
[5209.80 --> 5210.20] of him
[5210.20 --> 5211.08] who is the head
[5211.08 --> 5212.22] that is Christ.
[5213.16 --> 5214.46] This is the rhythm
[5214.46 --> 5216.12] of discipleship,
