[3185.08 --> 3186.08] of the world.
[3187.06 --> 3188.00] This is Matthew 5,
[3188.18 --> 3189.04] you are the light
[3189.04 --> 3189.52] of the world.
[3189.62 --> 3190.34] A town built
[3190.34 --> 3190.78] on a hill
[3190.78 --> 3191.52] cannot be hidden.
[3192.18 --> 3192.80] Neither do people
[3192.80 --> 3193.42] light a lamp
[3193.42 --> 3194.38] and put it under a bowl.
[3194.80 --> 3195.06] Instead,
[3195.22 --> 3196.22] they put it on its stand
[3196.22 --> 3196.90] and it gives light
[3196.90 --> 3198.00] to everyone in the house.
[3198.18 --> 3198.96] In the same way,
[3199.26 --> 3199.90] let your light
[3199.90 --> 3201.00] shine before others
[3201.00 --> 3202.08] that they may see
[3202.08 --> 3202.84] your good deeds
[3202.84 --> 3204.28] and glorify your Father
[3204.28 --> 3205.30] in heaven.
[3209.44 --> 3212.18] Part of what we do
[3212.18 --> 3213.44] in their gathering
[3213.44 --> 3216.38] is to learn more about
[3216.38 --> 3217.22] and to clarify
[3217.22 --> 3218.68] for ourselves
[3218.68 --> 3220.52] the redemption of God
[3220.52 --> 3221.28] and the mystery
[3221.28 --> 3222.66] of God's gospel
[3222.66 --> 3223.46] being applied
[3223.46 --> 3225.36] to us as believers
[3225.36 --> 3227.64] so that we can go
[3227.64 --> 3228.94] from this place
[3228.94 --> 3231.16] carrying that message
[3231.16 --> 3234.62] but I also think
[3234.62 --> 3236.68] that sometimes
[3236.68 --> 3239.28] we forget,
[3239.66 --> 3240.74] as Pete prayed,
[3241.74 --> 3242.66] we forget
[3242.66 --> 3245.02] that this gospel message
[3245.02 --> 3246.88] carries within it
[3246.88 --> 3248.40] the power of God
[3248.40 --> 3249.40] unto salvation.
[3250.08 --> 3251.06] Romans 1.16.
[3252.16 --> 3253.10] And that's because
[3253.10 --> 3254.34] Christ himself,
[3254.66 --> 3255.82] the eternal word,
[3256.12 --> 3256.96] is present
[3256.96 --> 3258.28] in God's word
[3258.28 --> 3258.92] to us.
[3259.20 --> 3260.10] Christ himself
[3260.10 --> 3261.72] is available
[3261.72 --> 3263.40] in all his saving power
[3263.40 --> 3265.48] through this word,
[3265.64 --> 3266.86] through this message
[3266.86 --> 3268.34] that we carry.
[3269.70 --> 3270.78] God's power
[3270.78 --> 3273.30] to transform lives,
[3273.70 --> 3275.70] to raise dead hearts
[3275.70 --> 3277.34] and give them new life,
[3277.46 --> 3278.10] God's power
[3278.10 --> 3279.10] to take us
[3279.10 --> 3280.06] from our being dead
[3280.06 --> 3280.94] and our transgressions
[3280.94 --> 3281.44] and sins
[3281.44 --> 3282.98] and transforming us
[3282.98 --> 3284.82] into a new creation
[3284.82 --> 3285.26] in him,
[3285.44 --> 3286.86] the power of the truth
[3286.86 --> 3287.72] that Jesus lived
[3287.72 --> 3288.80] the life I should have lived
[3288.80 --> 3289.64] and died the death
[3289.64 --> 3290.42] that I deserve,
[3290.50 --> 3292.36] the power that raised God
[3292.36 --> 3293.16] from the dead
[3293.16 --> 3294.92] and has transformed
[3294.92 --> 3296.44] each and every one of us
[3296.44 --> 3296.84] who believe,
[3296.90 --> 3298.44] that power is available
[3298.44 --> 3299.22] to you
[3299.22 --> 3300.38] in your speaking,
[3300.74 --> 3301.90] in your declaring,
[3302.22 --> 3303.40] in your proclaiming,
[3303.48 --> 3304.38] in your lighting
[3304.38 --> 3305.14] the way
[3305.14 --> 3306.18] back to God.
[3307.92 --> 3308.88] At the word of God,
[3308.96 --> 3309.52] the gospel
[3309.52 --> 3311.16] is a message
[3311.16 --> 3312.08] powerfully
[3312.08 --> 3313.02] and fully
[3313.02 --> 3313.96] incarnated
[3313.96 --> 3314.90] in the person
[3314.90 --> 3315.48] of Jesus
[3315.48 --> 3316.66] and then,
[3316.86 --> 3318.02] because of that,
[3318.28 --> 3319.32] is incarnated
[3319.32 --> 3319.96] in the life
[3319.96 --> 3320.78] and the words
[3320.78 --> 3321.50] and the deeds
