[3321.50 --> 3323.30] of us, |
[3324.02 --> 3324.78] his church, |
[3325.40 --> 3325.94] the body. |
[3328.24 --> 3329.12] As the church |
[3329.12 --> 3329.98] then attends |
[3329.98 --> 3331.30] to the word of God |
[3331.30 --> 3332.02] and to fellowship, |
[3332.32 --> 3333.26] gathering and growing, |
[3333.44 --> 3334.20] to the Lord's Supper, |
[3334.34 --> 3335.26] gathering and growing, |
[3335.52 --> 3336.16] and to prayer, |
[3336.34 --> 3337.22] gathering and growing, |
[3337.58 --> 3338.92] it's built up, |
[3339.00 --> 3340.02] we are built up |
[3340.02 --> 3340.60] in the life |
[3340.60 --> 3341.18] of the Spirit |
[3341.18 --> 3343.52] and sent out. |
[3344.70 --> 3345.02] And actually, |
[3345.14 --> 3345.46] Goheen, |
[3345.58 --> 3346.46] he calls this |
[3346.46 --> 3348.62] the bipolar orientation |
[3348.62 --> 3349.58] of the church. |
[3350.22 --> 3350.46] That is, |
[3350.50 --> 3351.36] the church must be |
[3351.36 --> 3353.60] inward and outward facing. |
[3354.30 --> 3355.58] The inward life |
[3355.58 --> 3357.64] strengthens the kingdom life |
[3357.64 --> 3359.48] so that it is vitally connected |
[3359.48 --> 3361.06] to its outward manifestation. |
[3362.12 --> 3362.48] Again, |
[3362.90 --> 3363.56] our gathering |
[3363.56 --> 3364.62] and growing |
[3364.62 --> 3365.70] and going |
[3365.70 --> 3367.06] all exists |
[3367.06 --> 3368.36] together. |
[3369.46 --> 3370.94] And this missionary identity |
[3370.94 --> 3372.14] of the church, |
[3372.24 --> 3373.42] this sent reality |
[3373.42 --> 3374.78] for us, |
[3375.14 --> 3376.64] continues throughout. |
[3376.74 --> 3377.98] That's the great commission |
[3377.98 --> 3378.46] of Jesus, |
[3378.58 --> 3380.32] to go into all nations |
[3380.32 --> 3381.08] and make disciples. |
[3381.24 --> 3382.68] That's the great commission |
[3382.68 --> 3383.56] of Acts 1, |
[3383.66 --> 3384.44] to be witnesses |
[3384.44 --> 3386.46] to Judea and Samaria |
[3386.46 --> 3387.20] and to the ends |
[3387.20 --> 3387.72] of the earth, |
[3388.02 --> 3389.58] filled with the Holy Spirit, |
[3390.12 --> 3391.52] is to bring the light |
[3391.52 --> 3394.02] of the gospel. |
[3397.16 --> 3397.88] I don't know |
[3397.88 --> 3398.56] how many of you |
[3398.56 --> 3401.72] are currently watching |
[3401.72 --> 3402.54] or have already |
[3402.54 --> 3403.44] given up on |
[3403.44 --> 3405.04] the Rings of Power series |
[3405.04 --> 3406.18] on Amazon Prime. |
[3408.26 --> 3409.82] If you're a Tolkien fan, |
[3410.40 --> 3412.14] probably won't like |
[3412.14 --> 3412.86] the TV show |
[3412.86 --> 3414.54] because it's been |
[3414.54 --> 3415.52] kind of disappointing, |
[3415.72 --> 3416.28] to be honest. |
[3417.14 --> 3418.48] But one of the things |
[3418.48 --> 3419.04] they get right, |
[3419.10 --> 3419.82] and this was in the most |
[3419.82 --> 3420.40] recent episode |
[3420.40 --> 3421.24] from this past week, |
[3421.24 --> 3424.70] one of the characters |
[3424.70 --> 3425.96] is finally standing up |
[3425.96 --> 3426.94] and has realized |
[3426.94 --> 3427.96] who Sauron is |
[3427.96 --> 3428.56] and he speaks |
[3428.56 --> 3429.64] with one of the other characters |
[3429.64 --> 3432.10] and they finally get it right |
[3432.10 --> 3433.14] and this was Tolkien's point |
[3433.14 --> 3433.62] all along. |
[3434.20 --> 3435.36] The character said, |
[3435.52 --> 3436.10] Celebrimbor, |
[3436.26 --> 3437.36] the only thing |
[3437.36 --> 3438.76] that defeats the dark |
[3438.76 --> 3440.80] is the light. |
[3442.38 --> 3443.04] And then he says, |
[3443.12 --> 3444.04] the darker the night, |
[3444.76 --> 3446.10] the greater the light |
[3446.10 --> 3447.00] cuts through it. |
[3448.78 --> 3449.68] That's what we do. |
[3449.68 --> 3452.60] We shine the light |
[3452.60 --> 3453.20] of the gospel |
[3453.20 --> 3454.72] into the darkness |
[3454.72 --> 3455.94] because the only thing |
[3455.94 --> 3457.10] that defeats the dark |
[3457.10 --> 3458.44] is the light. |
[3458.78 --> 3459.86] And Jesus, |
[3460.34 --> 3461.24] the light of the world, |
[3461.40 --> 3462.42] has made you |
[3462.42 --> 3463.58] a light |
