[3463.58 --> 3464.94] for the world. |
[3466.66 --> 3468.12] We are sent, |
[3468.26 --> 3469.22] we go |
[3469.22 --> 3471.18] to reveal. |
[3472.40 --> 3473.28] And then lastly, |
[3473.90 --> 3474.94] our going |
[3474.94 --> 3477.22] is for contrasting. |
[3478.56 --> 3479.54] The church |
[3479.54 --> 3481.48] is a contrast |
[3481.48 --> 3482.20] community. |
[3483.48 --> 3484.42] What does Jesus say? |
[3484.52 --> 3485.08] Jesus says, |
[3485.44 --> 3486.24] You are the salt |
[3486.24 --> 3486.84] of the earth, |
[3486.94 --> 3487.54] but if salt |
[3487.54 --> 3488.78] loses its saltiness, |
[3488.94 --> 3489.64] how can it be |
[3489.64 --> 3490.48] made salty again? |
[3491.02 --> 3491.30] And again, |
[3491.34 --> 3491.54] he says, |
[3491.60 --> 3492.06] You are the light |
[3492.06 --> 3492.58] of the world. |
[3492.86 --> 3493.48] A town built |
[3493.48 --> 3493.82] on a hill |
[3493.82 --> 3494.44] cannot be hidden. |
[3494.56 --> 3495.36] In the same way, |
[3495.46 --> 3496.10] let your light |
[3496.10 --> 3497.20] shine before others |
[3497.20 --> 3498.22] that they may see |
[3498.22 --> 3498.92] your good deeds |
[3498.92 --> 3500.04] and glorify God. |
[3500.86 --> 3501.74] Jesus calls |
[3501.74 --> 3502.50] his disciples |
[3502.50 --> 3503.52] salt and light, |
[3503.72 --> 3504.32] which means |
[3504.32 --> 3505.10] that they are living |
[3505.10 --> 3505.80] in a way |
[3505.80 --> 3507.32] that contrasts |
[3507.32 --> 3508.14] the world's |
[3508.14 --> 3510.08] decay and darkness. |
[3511.50 --> 3512.24] The church's |
[3512.24 --> 3513.66] distinct life together, |
[3513.76 --> 3514.32] our distinct |
[3514.32 --> 3515.10] gathering and |
[3515.10 --> 3515.80] growing together, |
[3516.12 --> 3517.56] reveals God's |
[3517.56 --> 3518.90] kingdom values. |
[3519.50 --> 3520.12] This is what Paul |
[3520.12 --> 3521.32] means in Romans 12. |
[3521.42 --> 3521.62] He says, |
[3521.76 --> 3522.40] Do not conform |
[3522.40 --> 3523.02] to the pattern |
[3523.02 --> 3523.54] of this world, |
[3523.64 --> 3524.48] but be transformed |
[3524.48 --> 3525.50] by the renewing |
[3525.50 --> 3526.04] of your mind. |
[3526.94 --> 3528.24] Paul calls the church |
[3528.24 --> 3529.54] to be transformed |
[3529.54 --> 3530.80] by God's truth |
[3530.80 --> 3532.46] rather than conforming |
[3532.46 --> 3533.26] to the ideas |
[3533.26 --> 3533.78] of the world. |
[3533.78 --> 3535.20] And it's this |
[3535.20 --> 3536.62] non-conformist |
[3536.62 --> 3538.88] idea and reflection. |
[3539.36 --> 3539.82] It's our |
[3539.82 --> 3540.90] counter-cultural |
[3540.90 --> 3542.02] reality |
[3542.02 --> 3543.02] in the midst |
[3543.02 --> 3543.78] of the world |
[3543.78 --> 3544.92] that makes the church |
[3544.92 --> 3546.92] a contrast community. |
[3548.16 --> 3548.98] The communal |
[3548.98 --> 3550.04] life of the church |
[3550.04 --> 3551.76] manifests the coming |
[3551.76 --> 3552.80] of the kingdom, |
[3552.96 --> 3553.82] the breaking in |
[3553.82 --> 3554.80] of God |
[3554.80 --> 3555.56] into the world. |
[3556.40 --> 3557.06] And so mission, |
[3557.42 --> 3558.10] first of all, |
[3558.30 --> 3559.02] is the life |
[3559.02 --> 3560.04] of this contrast |
[3560.04 --> 3560.68] community |
[3560.68 --> 3561.64] lived out, |
[3561.74 --> 3562.62] the radiant |
[3562.62 --> 3564.42] and resplendent |
[3564.42 --> 3565.12] demonstration |
[3565.12 --> 3565.90] of God's |
[3565.90 --> 3567.18] creational intent |
[3567.18 --> 3568.26] for human life |
[3568.26 --> 3569.18] and the goal |
[3569.18 --> 3569.96] that God has |
[3569.96 --> 3570.58] for redemption |
[3570.58 --> 3572.88] of all of history. |
[3575.46 --> 3576.78] And so we look |
[3576.78 --> 3578.04] particular |
[3578.04 --> 3579.72] and peculiar. |
[3581.46 --> 3582.38] Philippians 2, |
[3582.48 --> 3583.26] one of my favorite |
