  36. So I want to point simple how long the 10 commandments but as

  37. we will see each one of these somehow we think easy

  38. commandments are actually much more difficult and much more

  39. treacherous than we would first thing first.

  40. First think about it as we examine our hearts this

  41. afternoon and think of how we have broken the commandment of

  42. God along with the rest of them this week.

  43. It has learned the answer to this question.

  44. How then shall be honoured in from title adding sermon this

  45. afternoon. How well or how then shall we

  46. owner at three points this afternoon?

  47. The first point is through the lesson of the garden.

  48. That's the first point. The second point is through the

  49. lesson of the home. And last through the struggle,

  50. or through our struggle in this world.

  51. Yeah. But before we proceed, let us

  52. all bother our heads. Let us pray before our God.

  53. Heavenly Father, I might be king.

  54. These thank you for your goodness and your faithfulness.

  55. And as we come before your word, may you give us your grace for

  56. us to be able to find Your power, Your glory, Your majesty

  57. in your truth. You know what?

  58. Without having Makita, Without having my darling Love you Lord,

  59. saving Tahina and 99 a really long time, but nobody ignore.

  60. We're not young but only spirit and 2nd imposing nominee making

  63. That's why we thank you for your grace that we will be receiving

  65. will pray in Jesus name, Amen. Amen.

  66. It was the first point through the lesson of the garden in

  67. Paladin. First point compartments Katie

  68. kissing you happened, but it is more than the simple words used

  69. in the 10 commandments now. International Marami Ginagamit

  70. references as we look at our catechism reading Karina Marama

  71. references for reference versus ebooks to those simple words

  72. that we have read that honour your father and your mother so

  73. that you may live long in the land of the Lord your God is

  74. giving you. And it's not just about those

  75. words. These are just the tip of the

  76. iceberg of what it means in tone.

  77. And Vito I say Mamas malalim at Masala Malawi Sako, how we are

  78. to honour our parents, our father and our mother.

  79. Because the capitalism shows us that this commandment is broader

  80. when it explains not only about the father and mother, but all

  81. of those who are in authority over us.

  82. It's available in India well by the time of Makita now and when

  83. they even sell them acting so permanent.

  84. Monday teachers to material elders, Satima boss sat him

  85. approval rating, my supervisors, Sadie my seniors and lastly even

  86. to our government officials. We are to be reminded that all

  87. of these people have this position of authority over us

  88. and we are to be taught by the scriptures of how or why it is

  89. very important for us to follow and honour them.

  90. Pinapatay that indeed on Anapa Aladdin of imminent they thought

  91. they indeed focused lemons, a word no honour condition

  92. explained. I think that the case supports a

  93. good question into words that I met up on.

  94. Words that love faithfulness about submission and lastly

  95. about obedience. Simple commandment.

  96. Walk in a park lamp. Expectation couldn't for India.

  97. You're very pretty making aware after having more pedikum and

  98. every move we make, every step we take is a decision and we

  99. have to make wisely. Sound system painful swelling by

  100. Apple musically dial so that would provide and to go back

  101. home. We don't know like boy, he said

  102. he doesn't mind midnight my adding the current item

  103. Struggling Sunday would they on scope and I can combine them?

  104. Laura or you Scope or you laughing happening that is a

  105. very difficult struggle because of for example, human guess that

  106. is some barrel indeed. So sorry in America is that easy

  107. to submit to that person if you think those person are not

  108. worthy for the position that they had or similar voices.

  109. Nabila Baram. Soprano, soprano, soprano even

  110. with the whitener, even in school.

  111. Contraband Medina haven't got one.

  112. They've been saying personally, as a person that needs them,

  113. what's going on? United Level meter instances

  114. anything tomorrow getting into LEXIS pool and maritime dress

  115. code or even psychopath. By the way, my what?

  116. Where is Google being able more a simple, but everybody else

  117. either barbers got on the end or two by three.

  118. But what you saw, while they may have said we have to obey, we

  119. have certain rules and certain standards that we are to submit.

  120. You have knowledge the reality in this falling word that

  121. submission is hard. Ohh God submission is never easy

  122. but the reality is submission is hard. 29 affected back not about

  123. the heat up side that someone would somebody you know

  124. knowledge than someone that has a authority over us nothing

  125. commit and I'll tell you why. The reason is that the

  126. commandment to honour those in authority over us is really

  127. difficult but also difficult because there is directly

  128. opposed or opposed to our nature.

  129. If you're going to look at it, if you're going to consider our

  130. natural tendencies, we don't want to submit.

  131. I don't want anything about when we talk about submission.

  132. If you're going to look at the scriptures of how everything

  133. started, it was never like this. You need to dial Mahira,

  134. naturally magsubmit, because for a time, and we don't know how

  135. long, but for a time there was this perfect and happy and

  136. joyful submission between man and his Lord, between men and

  137. his God. Next day safeguarding but still

  138. no more than one emergency. I'm perfect relationship having

  139. yours, but I see him. You know what that means

  140. situation and they would love to submit.

  141. They would love those they and they would continue to follow

  142. their living in obeying God. We know that for a time they

  143. give perfectly as they were created to do as each and one

  144. each as each one of us were created to do created in the

  145. image of God, but still unique from him, still different.

  146. That's why as we go back to the Scriptures, maybe we reminded

  147. that we were created to serve, we were created to worship, and

  148. we were created to obey. That's the original design that

  149. we have as human beings, created by God.

  150. We were created to submit, and all of this was good.

  151. The submission the designed to submit, the design to obey is

  152. good and it's good and pleasing for God.

  153. The problem is now we have that broken image.

  154. Now see running Salaman and Papakita Saima in America.

  155. Enjoy America and obeying our masters in obeying authority.

  156. Getting back it Nasira imagine American is acting use any

  157. reason, though? What happened to submission?

  158. What happened to submission that it became something that is

  159. better? What happens to submission that

  160. it became something that we don't naturally would want to do

  161. when it was said and nothing else.

  162. Sin and it is seen that this happened.

  163. That's why we struggle on this aspect.

  164. The issue here of submission, the issue here about owner and

  165. obedience was because sin came into this world.

  166. It is all because of sin that we struggle in obedience seeking,

  167. awakening us the desire to be our own gods.

  168. That's the reality of it. Satan would create and started

  169. that idea of us acknowledging ourselves like gods.

  170. Why would you want to show God to other people?

  171. Are you content of being in his image?

  172. Why not be your own image rather than showing the image of your

  173. God? Bad move was cleaning,

  174. complaining about the cow and mamoo at paddling.

  175. Those are the ideas that were set before men.

  176. How do you say some linearly joining methods of Paradise

  177. Lost? Better to reign in hell than

  178. serve in heaven. That's the dialogue of Satan.

  179. It is better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.

  180. And this is Satan's argument by himself to his fellow fallen

  181. angels, and even to Eve. And you could train or you could

  182. serve. I know people anymore.

  183. And Susanna? Somebody died.

  184. You will not surely die, but you will be like God, knowing good

  185. and evil. This is what Satan said to Eve.

  186. Internet in detail next. Signalling next the day would be

  187. like God. That's the first deception that

  188. he gives, because the truth of the matter is this.

  189. Adam and Eve were already as close to God as they could have

  190. possibly been. See that gave them the deception

  191. of Malaya at Malai, Malai, Silas and yours.

  192. But in reality, as they were created, they were in a position

  193. that they are as close to God as they could have possibly been.

  194. Either an Eve already reigned as much as they could possibly

  195. could have that they because they were given dominion over

  196. aspiration, but it wasn't enough.

  197. You know, a few that attempt to gain what they could never have.

  198. They lost the blessing that they already have.

  199. That's a problem. The song in My Mohammed

  200. something was shown achieve and because of creating that desire,

  201. the result is they lost everything.

  202. The opposite happened. They want to be independent from

  203. God. They want to be their own gods.

  204. So that's what they got. They were detached from our

  205. Lord. Realised before is you desire

  206. independent to be detached, to be free.

  207. This idea of being free from the Lord, their loss of God.

  208. There was also the loss of everything good because of their

  209. decision, because of that very critical decision of disobeying

  210. the commandment of God. Again, curse after they were

  211. being exposed and they were being exposed and they were

  212. being cursed already because of the sin that they were

  213. committed, committed that. I've got an early on punishment.

  214. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Don't curse, no castellan and

  215. independent from God to be free, to be distant, to be detached

  216. from his authority. It seems like because of sin.

  217. This is the reality, the kind that occurs, the tank

  218. punishment, it becomes more addictive to them after what

  219. happened. There are people's loans for it

  220. more than people would long for independence more than ever.

  221. And this is what happened in the garden.

  222. Ohh, then what's the lesson in this first point that we have?

  223. What's the lesson that we have learned from the lesson from the

  224. garden? I know about Martin Sai image

  225. and I could go back to the scriptures now.

  226. How do you know he was that in submission?

  227. I know he was nothing. He does idea and command of

  228. submitting. Now I'm going to read it.

  229. Nothing like away in my bag instead of obeying God.

  230. Indeed, nothing. Matata Hassan Katotohanan that

  231. that this is what we are created for.

  232. No matter how much we try to rebel against God, we will

  233. continuously being be reminded that we this is how we are

  234. created. This is what we are created for.

  235. That we are continuously to obey.

  236. That we are to continuously and joyfully submit to our Master in

  237. the world. And this is what will truly

  238. satisfy your soul. The flesh will go against it,

  239. but our souls will continuously long to obey Him, to long for

  240. Him and acknowledge His authority on our submission and

  241. obedience. Muhabetin, this is our original

  242. nature. Again, honour submission and

  243. obedience. Business part True feature

  244. because of our sin and you more than anything because of our

  245. seen, it became ignorant of this design of God towards us.

  246. The last time I think bargaining natural inclination to go

  247. against submission, to go against following orders, to go

  248. against acknowledging authorities over us, since then

  249. throws up deception after deception to keep us in slavery

  250. to Him. We thought we are free, we

  251. thought we are autonomous, but the reality we are slaves of

  252. sin. We are slaves of Satan before

  253. Christ came better you don't know for Saturday Satan.

  254. This slogan of to better terrain than to serve, the reality is it

  255. doesn't exist. The better dream inherent to

  256. serve than to serve in every but actually doesn't exist because

  257. not even Satan, the growth of this not even Satan will reign

  258. in hell. This is another deception that

  259. the world is setting, that Satan will reign in hell, but no,

  260. you've been sick. Then himself at the end, even

  261. his knee will bow, and even him himself will declare, though

  262. with wailing and nashing of that Jesus Christ is Lord, that even

  263. in hell, in the wrath of God, He will not ring at all, but rather

  264. he would suffer and fall in his wrist.

  265. They aren't order those in authority over us, but Kate

  266. Mahira, I think you would never outside and someone because the

  267. alternative would fit this worse.

  268. You don't have any choice because if you would never if we

  269. would continuously choose rebellion if we would

  270. continuously choose to be independent to do the things

  271. that we want. It is far worse than being with

  272. Christ. This is what we've learned from

  273. the garden and trying to have it all.

  274. A WE lost it all. They become their own gods and

  275. immediately realised that they were very poor Caprice.

  276. We look at this as we look at this picture of the garden.

  277. It was the lack of honour, it was the lack of submission, it

  278. was the lack of obedience that caused sin to enter in this

  279. world. But thousand years later, years

  280. after the fall of man happened, it was also an honorary, it was

  281. also submission, and it was also obedience that caused salvation

  282. to enter in this world. Christ.

  283. It was surprised when they did. Jesus Christ our Lord perfectly

  284. submitted to the will of our Father in heaven.

  285. The second, the second Adam succeeded where the first atom

  286. failed. The first Adam failed to obey a

  287. simple commandment in the garden.

  288. The second item of all the comments in a fallen world

  289. attacking every side. He submitted, committed, He

  290. honoured, He obeyed, even to the point of death under cross.

  291. This is our massive 30 showing us who we were meant to be,

  292. showing us what righteousness is, showing us the power, the

  293. beauty and the majesty of submission, of honour and of

  294. obedience. The formal lesson and it's a

  295. garden reality, different as it is. 1199 garden, but it's a

  296. garden, but majority Malinga gabani Adan.

  297. And the reality is we don't have to go back in the garden just to

  298. correct it because at the end of the day, the reality is that

  299. Christ himself already deserts to us.

  300. Christ Himself already fulfilled that for us.

  301. Kinetic. The wings are blowing, emanating

  302. Maitama, the garden, manipulating time, opportunity

  303. to do it better, part time training ground to perform it,

  304. to show it for us to be able to be trained.

  305. How to have that joy? How to have that satisfaction?

  306. How to gain the beauty of submitting, of obeying in a

  307. watering, comfortable federal thinking.

  308. Nothing more good you're waiting for.

  309. There is a bargain at all. Mahalo, my name, I That's the

  310. training ground that we can consider, that's the main ground

  311. that we are expected to practice this beauty of submission,

  312. honour and obedience, the home. And that is our 7.119 second

  313. point. Some of the lesson of the home

  314. instructor 20 attack at the airport as we go back and as we

  315. did go back to the garden and there is a garden.

  316. You starting the mercy left in the afternoon punishment.

  317. They will understand struggle against submission, struggled

  318. against obedience and order, but rather that either, but I think

  319. that taste of independence from God.

  320. Each of each and everyone of us has any inherited them like the

  321. minor nothing on them. I've got nothing.

  322. I'm going to struggle, but the things authority personal that I

  323. was away at 1199 and so we still do it with the reality of this

  324. life that we have in this falling world.

  325. We have inherited the curse from our first parents.

  326. We have it even from the very start happening.

  327. Children have this problem as well and they don't wanna say

  328. anything. This is showing when the guy

  329. independent enough prayers and challenges them, they haven't

  330. even from the very even from the their wound from the wound

  331. happens 21 my but now. Ohh I think you certain

  332. personalities but not in character mean time.

  333. But if that even take that, they need 4 apartments.

  334. Because you're always thinking that's the more innocents are

  335. being made and survive, the more nervous go.

  336. Curious concealer or maintain peers one lesson and wine, but

  337. the more that we need to give them to make some meaning, for

  338. example, because that's the reality that we could see.

  339. That's the reality that we could notice here, that there is not

  340. rebellious tendency within us right from the moment we are

  341. conceived or even when we are still young.

  342. Nigella through all the time adding pasaway, then naturally

  343. we have that tendency. Good parent, so I think some

  344. Lulu Ohio listening are you why is someone into my instructions.

  345. You know any insisting on going rather than typing?

  346. Manila Mama come back number million value the maritime

  347. family Union Valley the maritime Mongolian because also in our

  348. own contai, we will never know what is right.

  349. We would always think that everything is right, though in

  350. reality is better than better tendency that it is for us to

  351. grow not on our own, but for us to grow within a family.

  352. That's the blessing in a gift that God has given us.

  353. Parramatta Ruan Thai also similar riding Panama booting

  354. has said at my distinguished Balaban the Union benefit and

  355. that's something that I after that I want to figure out what

  356. life is. But we were given this blessing

  357. of family for us to be taught how to live this life.

  358. Thank you. That's what got backside and

  359. from whatever the discipline as I've been meaning of Ugali

  360. Guardian 30 people. Hello don't go in.

  362. giving without discipline. I think the politics language

  363. adding 54,000,000 backing it's all about parents and children N

  364. but then it is because for both parents and children the home is

  365. the training ground for honour and obedience.

  368. believing that it is our home. Great.

  369. I'm so adding another hiding nothing.

  391. yes we are given the authority to lead and take care of our

  392. children to guide them to have this authority over them.

  393. But this authority given to parents is not self seeking.

  394. This authority that was given to parents to to follow nursing

  424. and parenting. But at the same time we are to

  425. be reminded that this is self sacrifice, not convenience.

  426. There is service and training and discipline and obedience

  427. before God. That's why the home is a

  428. training ground for parents, but it is the training ground for

  429. children. That's another thing that we are

  430. going to look at this and another perspective.

  431. Now that's something window on each and every step is

  432. pressures. There are pitfalls everywhere

  433. that we could experience in life.

  434. Things that have got typing symbol when you get there on

  435. this item didn't me small and completed.

  436. Within ourselves there is danger.

  437. We are attacked by the devil, we are attacked by this world, and

  438. we are also being attacked by our own flesh.

  439. So how can he possibly walk safely in this life that we have

  440. another competition? And the answer is speak and walk

  441. safely when we are told when we are being trained up in the way

  442. that we should go through proper parenting time and failing

  443. Matuto bring a meeting Saturday moment when you are called to

  444. obey and honour your parents know next in my lab I think they

  445. Matuto Kathy guys this is what happened and we are taught to

  446. obey our parents. But then he said something about

  447. that I know where I know Nila or what I think submitting

  448. actually, no, no, I don't know. Okay, yes, so I think I think I

  449. have a good on the end of that day, Singapore, Singapore may we

  450. are being taught to obey. We are being taught to follow

  451. our parents. Children must obey and honour

  452. their parents. And indeed of our time comma we

  453. don't need more. You learn Hindi, we'll send it

  454. out in your garden something that's that the beer be

  455. discovery expecting here, but you must also be in order your

  456. parents when it is hard, when it is difficult, even when you feel

  457. you don't feel like doing it, even when you feel like doing

  458. something else. I know, but you know, sometime I

  459. cook something gone wrong. But you know, Diane okay would

  460. have okay make purview of my limit the Wind 11.

  461. I think we need to obey your parents.

  462. Now. Why do you have to do this?

  463. The question is, is it because your parents are right all the

  464. time that you have to obey them? Is it because of that?

  465. Is it because our parents are perfect?

  466. That is why we have to obey them.

  467. Home just about. Get on your Mama.

  468. Lagging time, former Marami. Ohh knowledge about life.

  469. But they are not perfect children.

  470. Our parents are never perfect, but the reality is you.

  471. You don't obey them because they are always right.

  472. You don't obey them because they are perfect.

  473. You obey them because this is what you are called to do by our

  474. God. They didn't start despite again.

  475. It is despite their imperfections.

  476. It is despite of their incapabilities.

  477. We are called children to obey and honour our parents.

  478. This is what you are importing and the reality is that even

  479. paying that you will fail hiring.

  480. We fail to obey and honour our parents.

  481. You will fail at this, just like your parents that fail their

  482. failing. Despite the imperfections that

  483. we could see, the imperfections of parents, the imperfections of

  484. children and people. My eyes are hurting.

  485. That doesn't mean that the home isn't 1 isn't a wonderful gift

  486. of God anymore. If parents are incapable or if

  487. parents are struggling or if children are struggling to

  488. obtain because failure. Failure is not final.

  489. Failure is is not permanent. Barack Obama's acting boy

  490. somebody I think this is shown so make it a good one.

  491. But the but you going to put less but you go in the party

  492. that The Who looks at who he he Abu Lam final labour problem got

  493. going Savoy in American time, each step is a choice.

  494. Obedience by friends is a choice.

  495. Honouring your father and your mother is a choice that you can

  496. make. No one can force you to do it.

  497. That's the reality mirror mirror consequences for marrying the

  498. time that I go on against her family.

  499. So parents, reality is asking everyone, you want to hear every

  500. complaint out of our mouth. That's right, it's a choice you

  501. made, He submit. We obey, honour and love for

  502. parents, acting like a high. It's about and I hope and I pray

  503. that our natural hatred forward submission doesn't have to be

  504. permanent. Again, our natural tendency, our

  505. natural hatred towards submission should not be

  506. permanent. And maybe you see the blessing

  507. of when submission and honour workout for the glory of God,

  508. they will always find that hope no matter how imperfect your

  509. parents honour their shirt and showing them true love and

  510. servant leadership. You know back and children to

  511. water their parents by listening to them and obeying their

  512. instructions. And this is what happens in the

  513. home. So what is the lesson here?

  514. 29 our problem, but I think the submission in NASA acting as a

  515. single MSP goal. But you have to learn our first

  516. parents either Eve didn't help us, but rather they passed the

  517. curse of sin to us. They gave us this attention to

  518. independence from God. They're simply landed us,

  519. blinded our eyes towards the truth about this, but God.

  520. But God stepped in and granted us the blessing of parents who

  521. help us, of parents who will teach us.

  522. God stepped in and granted us the blessing of children who

  523. will give us opportunities to show the gospel of love within

  524. our homes so that as we see our imperfections in our homes at

  525. the end of the day, we are being reminded of the grace of God in

  526. our lives, especially in our homes and our closest

  527. relationships. That's right.

  528. Every, each and every step is a decision.

  529. Each and every step we take is an opportunity.

  530. And we do not have to take the steps alone.

  531. The blessing of the family unit is done.

  532. It is a unit. And this is how God has created

  533. us, and this is what prepares us Competitive in our struggle

  534. against the world. Their homes would help us in our

  535. service in the world. And that's our finite point.

  536. What is our lesson or what can we learn through the struggle in

  537. this world with an English speaking?

  538. So far, we are continuously being reminded of the beauty of

  539. submission. So far we are being reminded of

  540. the glory of obedience and submission and eliminating that

  541. Mahira pito, mahira mahira someone.

  542. But we are being encouraged by the Word of God that honouring

  543. and obeying is not impossible. It is possible through God, and

  544. this is our hope, that we have the Christian whom is a

  545. blessing. And even if it's hard sometimes

  546. to submit for parents, even if it's hard sometimes to submit to

  547. the call of servant leadership over our children, it is not

  548. impossible to do it. Only through the grace of God

  549. that we will be able to do this. But here's where the rubber

  550. meets the road. Again, exciting side, but things

  551. have when practicing submission, when practicing honour, when

  552. practicing obedience, someone don't the challenge so behind

  553. probably know we needed the diagram of Angolan and no matter

  554. what, but I think process alarm at the time you re not yours.

  555. They tried their best to matter how imperfect they are to lead

  556. us and to guide us in there in this life component of my

  557. government. Yes, we know.

  558. Give me something. And that's the reason why there

  559. is beauty innovating. The the question is finally you.

  560. Authority, government. Something about the guy recently

  561. roundabout. Need Christina and hope some

  562. question this time. The programming and the reality

  563. is that the government either hurts the church and hurts

  564. Christians or the other is they don't do anything towards

  565. Christians. How can we honour our government

  566. that has no love for the church? How can we honour a government

  567. that has no love for God? And it seems like they don't

  568. have a love for God for what's happening right now.

  569. Instead, the mainland give us such.

  570. I could not going fine interests Mila.

  571. Why position? And it's a challenge for sure.

  572. Now it's a big hahaha known in Indigo whenever we see things.

  573. The injustices in this world, the selfishness of this world,

  574. the sinful tendencies of this world.

  575. Hey Mariah, evaporating message now.

  576. Yes, we are to honour those in authority, but not necessarily

  577. to obey. Then we could honour the

  578. meeting. Now, Amanda Sai, I think for

  579. example, Sachin President, the federal not necessarily as being

  580. something, at least for now, I think that's enough for me to

  581. honour him. You just acting on President

  582. Day. Indoor congressman dying.

  583. But is that the real? But is that really what the

  584. Catechism teaches us? That's really what the

  585. scriptures teach us about authority that I know about

  586. services contributing nothing. Medina I reading first from

  587. First Peter 2 is in full agreement with the Catechism, or

  588. should I say Gothic ISM is in full agreement with the

  589. scriptures when it says in verse 13, First Peter 2 be subject for

  590. the Lord's sake to every human institution.

  591. It is what the scripture says. Be subject to them is subject to

  592. them. I think so when I am inside, but

  593. I have something commandments you authority said.

  594. Now your governor, when are your chairman or Capitan Federal 2000

  595. First 2/3 after to be subject for the Lord's sake to every

  596. human institution you can send them.

  597. You could see it in Christ. Not just like Jesus.

  598. Just like Jesus when he submitted himself to his

  599. parents, when they wrongly rebuked him for being in a

  600. temple Millennium and back. Mama, they don't know, but Jesus

  601. obeyed their His parents, just like the demons were subject to

  602. the power of Jesus Christ, and just like creation was subjected

  603. to fertility. For these subject, I communicate

  604. my computer. We're now at the human human

  605. institution, the output so authority.

  606. Then Peter, inspired by the Holy Spirit, gives us a list that we

  607. have read earlier. At this time the first speaker

  608. to when it's not the emperor, he wanted something done during

  609. their time. It was Emperor Nero who was

  610. ruling when Peter wrote this text.

  611. Constanza mismo. I'm like proper secute Samantha

  612. these commanding them to honour the Emperor.

  613. Indian Cinema or higher you remember something whenever you

  614. know persecute. You know this challenge during

  615. the time and be there through the Holy Spirit combined it to

  616. honour even emperor governors governors like bunches pilot who

  617. himself crucified Christ. They're going to honour them and

  618. lastly the masters to be him. Now imma say eating anything and

  619. whether they are good or gentle, massage, gentle masters or

  620. unjust and I'm godly master dear mandatory day in honour of them.

  621. But Peter is saying here is pretty much black and white that

  622. guy something as the cataclysm says submit myself with Jew

  623. obedience and he just asked him to but in the emphasis not

  624. things of each subject or human authorities and initiation and I

  625. think you to every human institution persona.

  626. What, nothing can you collect time even again as I read, you

  627. can be subject for the Lord's sake, claiming human

  628. institution. We don't be subject to every

  629. human institution. But here it was said, be subject

  630. for the Lord's sake. Submitted.

  631. And this, my friends, is the key towards submission.

  632. This, my friends, will be the answer on how we would find that

  633. hard and passion to submit. It is for the Lord's sake, but

  634. it would for example suicide. I'm adding a poo so for getting

  635. supper owner. Nothing sad stories.

  636. If we miss those first words, just those 4 words.

  637. I mean we miss everything for getting someone again.

  638. It should be for the same. It is ordinary participating

  639. morning and these 4 words are important into this so suspect

  640. neto ito Ohh, I'm sorry, but I think that's so.

  641. I think he was. They are important because they

  642. showed the limits of our obedience.

  643. That's one. And secondly, they are important

  644. because they show the reason of our submission.

  645. They showed the limits of our obedience.

  646. They showed the limits of ourselves of our submission.

  647. Secondly, they show their reason for our opinions.

  648. First, they show the limits of our obedience to the government.

  649. Any visibility of that, they show the limits when we say that

  650. we do it for the Lord's sake. Something, but you have been

  651. acting for the Lord's sake. We would obey and depriving them

  652. access of mid tile. That's a Sabina Bing.

  653. Nothing wrong. Susan did nothing.

  654. Never mind Walmart, something going on now.

  655. It limits and draws the line of what submission is.

  656. It should be for the Lord's sake.

  657. Cannot for the mirror submission in itself cause he need way

  658. beyond. This is something when a

  659. particle, you know, like money, that's a problem.

  660. As Christians, we are not simply to be known as those who do

  661. everything the government says all the time.

  662. This is a great reminder, and it should be a reminder for all of

  663. us. For example, saving public

  664. gathering. But if you have bow and my

  665. bridge and gospel, the best synchronous effect.

  666. If it becomes illegal for me to teach and proclaim that the

  667. Bible is the ultimate, ultimate source of truth, I will disobey.

  668. If it becomes illegal for me to preach that Jesus Christ is

  669. Lord, not beyond, not the government, I will disobey.

  670. That's the reminder that we are to be reminded of.

  671. But that is absolutely they consist commandment that you

  672. first Peter two he needed to hold some blind submissions

  673. authority convert 11 nothing making mindful paladin.

  674. So this is shown in. I'm done.

  675. The first question that you should ask.

  676. Have you done once the bias from morning?

  677. I'll go out in the South and in Malay.

  678. I guess that's the line that you will always consider the things

  679. about there's obeying and submitting to the authorities.

  680. We have to consider both sides at we're signing.

  681. I think the window aspect now we're having the meeting.

  682. Excuse you government officials, but nothing committing excusing

  683. Kasalanan, you know besides, but never been going excuse him for

  684. offshore news. Wanna make officials parallel

  685. working Italian? Totally something similar.

  686. It is not an excuse that if they're doing these things, we

  687. will not anymore obey them. Nitai would announce suddenly

  688. nothing being Badass. Palaces 1719, +100 and strong.

  689. Going to see the fairness today. You see you soon offices of

  690. government officials. You're not going any name

  691. sinking the hopeful either. Through violence, through chaos

  692. disorder. That's a problem, but we are to

  693. be reminded of that. We are to still do it do we are

  694. still to do what is right and proper before God, despite their

  695. sinfulness. We are to obey them and honour

  696. them as we honour God. As long as it is right, we must,

  697. even if it is unpleasant, Mahapatra, even if it hurts, we

  698. are to honour them, we will obey them as long as it honours God.

  699. And that's the minimum requirement for it.

  700. And if they are doing things that are not honouring God

  701. anymore, okay, eaten anything Amalina government officials

  702. among authorities over us, we must still respond properly,

  703. must still respond property and right before God in a way that

  704. would still on or our God with the response that we have

  705. towards those things. Submission is through submission

  706. that only of things that you like to do.

  707. Indeed, for you like that I excessively.

  708. That's not submission, that is only agreement was the same.

  709. That's not submission, that's agreement.

  710. That's not necessarily submission.

  711. That the mere agreement with them going someplace 10 minutes,

  712. that is not submission work to submit for the Lord's sake.

  713. That is the reason for our obedience and honour.

  714. That's why in this aspect of obedience, of submission and

  715. ordering, this commandment has nothing to do with the identity

  716. of the institution. This commitment has nothing to

  717. do with the identity of your parents or honor or our

  718. rebellion. They have nothing to do with our

  719. feelings. They have nothing to do even

  720. with our consciences. We need our Tina dependence,

  721. adding monastery or authority and see if they are worthy of

  722. our honour or respect. Needing nothing, nothing

  723. personal so and people what animal harms are needed also

  724. soon. Instead we look to God.

  725. In this aspect, we look to God and we submit again and again

  726. for the rules sake. There is no room for us to make

  727. excuses on this aspect now. It means as Sabina the Macmillan

  728. Nah. So now they have to earn the

  729. right to be honoured in order for me or before I honour them

  730. people. That is not the right view when

  731. it comes to submission. You didn't start with a neutral

  732. position approaching having similarities of container

  733. position. Sayo, McCullum or even authority

  734. Young people painting accessibility dial 20 year old.

  735. Indeed, I'm sort of mission. That is not the way that the

  736. life that God wants us in his Kingdom.

  737. Children, you have keeping giving your parents, you have

  738. been placing your family so that your parents would love you and

  739. care for you, so that you would submit to them, honour them and

  740. obey them for God's sake. And that is the starting

  741. position. We have this position that we

  742. are under someone's authority no matter what what I position upon

  743. time Skype aspect adding boy man that Madam position marriage and

  744. this is what you were created for an even more.

  745. This is what you are in forward. It is as a subject of a Kingdom

  746. of God that you are to be subject to every human

  747. institution. Our acts of submission to human

  748. authorities is an act of worship and witness.

  749. It is an act of worship for us to honour those who God has

  750. placed in authority over us. Its submission ultimately to God

  751. and to His goodwill and purpose in this life that we have.

  752. We submit to our parents, we submit to the authorities over

  753. us. We submit to the government, to

  754. every human institution, not because of who they are, because

  755. of who God is, and because of who we are in Christ.

  756. It is because of that anybody know any less opposition than

  757. supposition of authority over us?

  758. Any title on offer but only nothing now.

  759. I think funding their own under Taliban was already starting to

  760. and so we would submit place with God has placed us under

  761. their authority and so we submit to his will and parking one.

  762. I think he told Witness. This is the power of God that

  763. work in my life. It wouldn't be seen in our

  764. submission and how we honour one another also in those who are in

  765. us all. My life isn't about me and my

  766. desires. I serve a higher power and there

  767. is a higher authority than me. And because of who He is and

  768. what He has done for me, I am willing to suffer for His sick

  769. just like what we have witnessed.

  770. Because time, by beginning like that, die, he told me.

  771. Here my brothers and sisters had somebody land and I'm gonna see

  772. you. These residents have been.

  773. I think you're gonna go out, Matassa.

  774. It's something that I will submit to you is how Christians

  775. should respond. So so that, but you know saying

  776. where is the talking point? Indeed indeed is something you

  777. single indeed that would be dying arguing.

  778. I think the position on you why American they wouldn't indeed

  779. that is happening on at the end and see you again and yours on

  780. positioning and movement of never move in for his sake for

  781. his glory. I order you.

  782. That's the attitude that we should have our charity, not for

  783. the sake of our own opinions, not for the sake of who they

  784. are, but primarily for the Lord's sake.

  785. And we learn how to obey between these ordered authorities with

  786. this all over the ultimate authority that gave that

  787. authority over us £900. I'm going nothing someone don't

  788. I know no matter the tires are becoming one number get nothing.

  789. If we behaved shamefully, it reflects poorly on who we belong

  790. to, who owns us. They will reflect that.

  791. And as Christians we hear the name of Christ, our great

  792. Saviour, the perfect picture of a heart filled submission.

  793. It is in Christ that we would see that picture.

  794. I couldn't send this one at yours.

  795. This I know. It's a pizza China indeed.

  796. Thank you to buy crying again about submits a someone governor

  797. people just filing in which unjustly this is an unjust

  798. decision. He was condemned, beaten, mocked

  799. and punished for our sake. Even the point of death he still

  800. submitted. That was already over him,

  801. Karen. Maybe, and in this reality that

  802. we are being reminded of in this picture of perfect and beautiful

  803. submission made and done by our Saviour Jesus Christ.

  804. Submit my scene #8 Single Tyre Parramatta justifying parasitic

  805. monastery para in see the time I was having.

  806. You know what having my recent You are performing for the bird

  807. say not for the But you are the Father for because Christ did

  808. for us. Yeah, why?

  809. Province out and you get going 11.

  810. The guides are enough to come back to have them ignore this

  811. challenge to submit. It is a challenge for each and

  812. everyone of us to obey. It is a challenge for us to

  813. properly honour those people around us.

  814. It is challenging the whole and it seems impossible out in this

  815. world, but we're not alone. With the provision of God the

  816. Father, following the picture of God the Son, and by the power of

  817. God the Holy Spirit, guide must be God.

  818. I'm here, I am willing to submit.

  819. I'm willing to submit to my parents.

  820. I know what I'm doing or guide my life.

  821. I am willing to submit to my address to my fellow elders,

  822. this church. I'm willing to submit the

  823. government even though they neither understand nor love

  824. government. And may the Lord help us and may

  825. this be a different, be different for all of us.

  826. May this would be better, maybe serve, maybe honour, maybe

  827. submit, and maybe not for the government's sake, not for my

  828. sake to soothe my conscience from saving for at least

  829. something we need to start as of leaders, but out of love.

  830. And again, again, I will remind you a list of four sing.

  831. It doesn't. You know what I mean, your

  832. syllable. So you don't coming like train

  835. nothing with the naming on our own and forgive us for always

  836. thinking and always trying to be independent and always remind us

  837. that we are to honour you more than anything else.

  838. Forgive us whether they be think highly of ourselves and that's

  839. the reason why we struggle to obey and honour those seniority

  840. over us, but at the same time will come as we continuously

  841. learn and submit to her word. Catholic also having that was my

  844. Despite the brokenness of this world, you will always be here

  846. You have prayed for us or God that you are not to take us out

  847. of this world, but to protect us from the environment.

  852. You got on. Goodbye and thank you.

  853. Have you have people having Father hanging?

  854. Not that I finally got into Leeds and there was about more

  855. about going. Maybe continue to honour you for

  856. your namesake. Ohh.

  857. God, do you teach us your people to be sanctified, to be trained,

  858. to be disciplined? He just ordered teachers to

  859. submit to your teachers to obey you, just like your Son Jesus

  860. Christ, who have shown his Father, who have given

  861. submission and who have to obey for me, for her most recent play

  862. in Jesus name, Amen.
