[2556.14 --> 2559.06] He thanks God for them
[2559.06 --> 2561.62] And for the stories that he has heard about them
[2561.62 --> 2563.22] Since planting that church
[2563.22 --> 2564.58] And in his other journeys
[2564.58 --> 2565.54] Throughout that region
[2565.54 --> 2567.82] He wants to encourage them
[2567.82 --> 2570.42] And so he prays for their life
[2570.42 --> 2571.68] And for their faith
[2571.68 --> 2575.72] He prays because he wants this fledgling church
[2575.72 --> 2577.26] This young church
[2577.26 --> 2579.78] To know God better
[2579.78 --> 2580.54] Right?
[2580.64 --> 2581.36] Verse 17
[2581.36 --> 2582.42] He says
[2582.42 --> 2586.64] I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ
[2586.64 --> 2587.70] The glorious Father
[2587.70 --> 2589.42] May give you the spirit of wisdom
[2589.42 --> 2590.84] And of revelation
[2590.84 --> 2595.74] So that you may know him better
[2595.74 --> 2596.98] Right?
[2596.98 --> 2598.22] What he wants for them
[2598.22 --> 2600.98] Is to mature in their faith
[2600.98 --> 2602.48] Right?
[2602.50 --> 2603.78] He wants for them to develop
[2603.78 --> 2605.62] As Christians
[2605.62 --> 2608.46] And so he starts in verse 15
[2608.46 --> 2609.04] Right?
[2609.12 --> 2611.00] He knows that they are Christians
[2611.00 --> 2613.34] He's heard about their amazing love
[2613.34 --> 2614.30] For each other
[2614.30 --> 2615.98] And he gives thanks to God for them
[2615.98 --> 2617.90] But he doesn't want them to stop there
[2617.90 --> 2620.38] He wants them to keep on growing
[2620.38 --> 2621.88] To keep on developing
[2621.88 --> 2625.02] To become more of who they already are
[2625.02 --> 2626.44] Right?
[2626.46 --> 2628.54] It's not just enough to become
[2628.54 --> 2629.88] You have to be
[2629.88 --> 2631.28] Right?
[2631.30 --> 2633.20] And he wants them to grow
[2633.20 --> 2634.72] In the grace and knowledge
[2634.72 --> 2635.78] Of Jesus
[2635.78 --> 2637.12] And of God
[2637.12 --> 2638.42] Right?
[2638.42 --> 2640.32] Paul knows that in the Bible
[2640.32 --> 2642.64] You read about this over and over and over
[2642.64 --> 2644.42] Idleness of faith
[2644.42 --> 2646.68] Leads to faith in idols
[2646.68 --> 2649.26] I'm going to say that again
[2649.26 --> 2650.60] Idleness of faith
[2650.60 --> 2653.18] Leads to a faith in idols
[2653.18 --> 2654.82] And we don't want that
[2654.82 --> 2656.40] Not then
[2656.40 --> 2657.78] And not now
[2657.78 --> 2660.82] So what Paul wants
[2660.82 --> 2663.20] Is for us to grow
[2663.20 --> 2664.86] To not be idle
[2664.86 --> 2666.42] In our faith
[2666.42 --> 2668.08] And so we start
[2668.08 --> 2670.08] With that focus
[2670.08 --> 2672.24] God placed all things
[2672.24 --> 2673.10] Under his feet
[2673.10 --> 2673.96] And appointed him
[2673.96 --> 2674.82] To be head
[2674.82 --> 2676.14] Over everything
[2676.14 --> 2677.10] For the church
[2677.10 --> 2678.30] Which is his body
[2678.30 --> 2679.50] The fullness of him
[2679.50 --> 2680.84] Who fills everything
[2680.84 --> 2682.20] In every way
[2682.20 --> 2684.12] This line
[2684.12 --> 2684.80] Is the
[2684.80 --> 2685.76] The climax
[2685.76 --> 2686.90] The
[2686.90 --> 2687.90] The climax
[2687.90 --> 2688.92] Of the description
[2688.92 --> 2690.60] Of God's power
[2690.60 --> 2691.32] At work
[2691.32 --> 2692.66] Through the gospel
[2692.66 --> 2694.48] The power of God
[2694.48 --> 2695.82] That raised Christ
[2695.82 --> 2696.74] The power of God
[2696.74 --> 2697.72] That seated him
[2697.72 --> 2698.70] At the right hand
[2698.70 --> 2699.20] Of the Father
[2699.20 --> 2700.06] And the power
[2700.06 --> 2701.26] By which God
[2701.26 --> 2702.00] Has now placed
[2702.00 --> 2703.14] All things
[2703.14 --> 2705.32] Under his feet
[2705.32 --> 2708.42] And it's the same power
[2708.42 --> 2709.20] That has done
[2709.20 --> 2710.22] All of those things
[2710.22 --> 2712.62] That Paul wants us
[2712.62 --> 2713.68] To know
[2713.68 --> 2715.84] That God is giving us
[2715.84 --> 2716.80] Access to
[2716.80 --> 2717.74] And then to live
[2717.74 --> 2718.66] In the confidence
[2718.66 --> 2719.56] Of
