WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.680 Hey guys and welcome back to the way UK podcast. Yay! 2 00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:12.160 Wow that energy was so good and today is very hot so we've got our legs out. 3 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.440 So we've got our legs out podcast and today we're talking about modesty. 4 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:23.520 Today we're continuing with our Ephesians series and we've hit Ephesians 4 which is very exciting. 5 00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:28.720 One awesome passage I'm drawing by the wonderful Mattias and the other wonderful. 6 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.680 Is he? I thought you were going to say I'm the other one. 7 00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:34.880 And the other one? No I'm care about you. 8 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.720 I think the other wonderful is he. Mattias loved him podcast what he made. 9 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.840 And um is he loved him podcast with email? This is such a weird intro. 10 00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:52.560 Oh why are we flapping? Well guys let's just jump straight in to read over Ephesians and just talk 11 00:00:52.560 --> 00:01:00.000 with him. I'm finding with Ephesians because I've done a few of these this series. 12 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:05.200 It just kind of speaks for itself. You read it and the teaching point is 13 00:01:06.160 --> 00:01:11.200 the scripture. There's not always loads to add but let's begin reading it maybe. 14 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.760 Also as layers I half disagree. I think there is a level amount that you can just 15 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.840 from read it and understand but I think there's so much depth beneath it but that's the beauty of 16 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:25.200 the Bible. Come on. Let's bring it. Plus it's a bit more complicated in chapters five and six. 17 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.120 It does a little bit. Do you want to read first? Absolutely not Matthias can. 18 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.280 Matthias do you want to read for us? Where are we 10? 1 to 11? 19 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.160 I'm reading from the new international version NRV. 20 00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:42.880 Nice. Nice. Ephesians 4. As a prisoner of the Lord then I urge you to live a life worthy 21 00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:46.640 of the calling you have received. You completely humble and gentle. 22 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.720 Be patient bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit 23 00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:59.360 through the bond of peace. There is one body and one spirit just as you were called to one hope 24 00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:07.600 when you were called one Lord one faith one baptism one God and Father of all who is overall 25 00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:15.040 and through all and in all but to each one of us grace has been given as Christ appointed it. 26 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:23.600 This is why it says when he ascended on high he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men. 27 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:31.680 What does he ascended mean except that he also descended to the lower Earthly regions? 28 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:39.760 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens in order to feel the one 29 00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:44.160 the fill the whole universe. I reckon that's good. Let's go to 10. 30 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.720 It's so good. Just little context for you guys listen to the other podcasts on Ephesians 1, 2, 3 31 00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:57.920 but this book is written to the people of Ephesus the Church of Ephesus which is 32 00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:03.840 lots of churches communities and the first three chapters the kind of the theme is 33 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.760 Paul encouraging the Church of Ephesus in their identity in Christ and as we move on to the next 34 00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:16.080 final chapters of this book starting from 4 we switch a little bit and we start talking about okay 35 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:22.240 this is our identity now what does that mean so this is who we are now what does that calling 36 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:28.560 mean for us that's great yeah here's what does that call me for us you said there's layers you said 37 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:34.320 there's layers well I think it is it is they're spoken about our identity but he's spoken a lot about 38 00:03:34.320 --> 00:03:41.040 what God has done for us and actually if as you say it flips where it's like once we grasp how much 39 00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:46.880 God has done for us then the only natural response is to serve him and obey him but out of place 40 00:03:46.880 --> 00:03:52.160 of gratitude not out of the place of trying to earn merit or any of that could spoke a lot about 41 00:03:52.160 --> 00:04:00.400 that and those previous verses but I mean I've the verse is it literally verse one yeah cool I 42 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:05.840 urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received is such a challenge like that in 43 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:11.040 itself that verse in itself could be broken down for hours where it's basically like that means 44 00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:15.760 we've received something we have a calling and how do we live worthy even that in itself could be 45 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:21.840 completely apart but I think that's a real that's kind of sums up the theme of what we're going to 46 00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:26.640 go into is like how do we live a life that is worthy of the calling that we have on our lives and it's 47 00:04:26.640 --> 00:04:33.520 instantly counterculture in in our culture in our world at the moment it says you can design what 48 00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:38.640 you want your future to look like you can be who you want to be you can do what you want to do 49 00:04:38.640 --> 00:04:44.080 every option is available to you but actually the first verse it's saying I urge you to live a 50 00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:50.000 life worthy of the calling that you have received yeah the calling isn't it doesn't say the calling 51 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.560 that you've fought for doesn't say calling that you've worked hard for it says that you've received 52 00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:02.080 it yeah and there there is a choice as with anything with God like and God has such a good 53 00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:06.720 understanding of the desires of our heart like if I wanted to be a musician he'll probably 54 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:11.600 have designed me that way and wants to honor my desires and and as with anything very 55 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.280 invite into a choice am I going to choose to step into this or am I going to choose something else 56 00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:21.440 but there is something that we receive and that is the calling that he has for our life and we 57 00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:27.120 can choose whether we step into that or not yeah but within that if you're choosing to step into 58 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:33.520 that you have to live worthy yeah absolutely and it's it's it's it's a little point as well to 59 00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:38.800 back to chapter one in verse 18 it says I pray also but the eyes of your heart may be enlightened 60 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:45.600 in order that you may know the hope which has called you the riches of his glorious inheritance 61 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:50.480 so the hope which has called you so this is our calling right to to receive a calling it means 62 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:55.360 that you're being called and the one who has called us is the one who gives us that inheritance 63 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.720 and so what you're saying is like you've got this inheritance it's available to you I urge you 64 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.840 would you would you now accept this calling do something about it do something about it we've 65 00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:12.080 been given all these gifts but a gift is only so good and so far as you're able to open and use it 66 00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:18.160 if the gift stays in the wrapper it's not worth anything right it's such a shame if we have all 67 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:23.760 these things available to us but then we choose not to live in them oh so good guys straight in 68 00:06:23.760 --> 00:06:31.280 and I think the calling thing this is probably an area that I find in our again culture 69 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:39.120 we take the most pride in what we do and what we produce like oh I've done this oh I've met 70 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:46.320 this person oh I have XML follows on Instagram like the whole calling thing is basically to prove 71 00:06:46.320 --> 00:06:53.200 yourself and to like at all slash shape what you want to do with your life and so straight away 72 00:06:53.200 --> 00:06:59.200 after Paul challenges us that this calling is a gift he instantly gives us action points on how 73 00:06:59.200 --> 00:07:06.240 to receive the gift of walking the gift and it's with humility yeah it's with gentleness it's 74 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:14.000 with patience and it's being with one another would love yeah and and like I know that if God has 75 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:20.560 given me an amazing calling if I've received this awesome gift and I'm like wow Jesse you're going 76 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.960 to like run amazing you're going to have this awesome life and you're going to do amazing things 77 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:30.240 and glorify me in it and suddenly I feel a bit more confident maybe I puff my chest out a little 78 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:36.800 bit and look at myself in the mirror a little longer like you're the man and like it would be very 79 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:43.120 easy for pride to take place yeah which is why Paul instantly addresses that and he's like okay in 80 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:48.400 your great calling that God has given you you need to act out of humility yeah and gentleness 81 00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:52.800 means again back to chapter one so that you may not boast right yes all done through him here's the 82 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:59.360 one that that saved us Jesus died for us not because we deserve that book because he loved us 83 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:05.040 and so we can only boast in him and who he is not in anything we do and I think I agree with you 84 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:10.560 is the intention there is a lot of depth to the Bible and scripture and especially to speak because 85 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:14.720 when we read the Bible and this is maybe a rule thumb wherever you are in the Bible you can read 86 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:19.440 it and you can receive it on a surface level but if you look if you choose to dig in a little bit 87 00:08:19.440 --> 00:08:25.680 deeper it opens it up so much and when we look at this thing of humility humility is something that 88 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.800 we'd probably admire today right but you've got to remember this was written to a wrote to a Roman 89 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:36.160 city and the Romans they were conquerors there were people that went out and conquered lands 90 00:08:36.160 --> 00:08:41.120 and humility wasn't something that they admired in their culture or gentleness or gentleness 91 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.440 humility and gentleness was seen as weakness because there were people of Connker might 92 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.000 is right in their culture and so what Paul is calling the church to is actually you're leaving 93 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.760 against the culture you're going against the grain here there were cultures saying that in order 94 00:08:53.760 --> 00:09:00.000 for you to be accepted and be seen as strong in your culture you must be strong and not show 95 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:05.120 any humility and be prideful in who you are and not be gentle but be rough but actually saying 96 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.920 no the kingdom of heaven is different our culture is different you've been given this identity by 97 00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:15.680 Christ now living in that way and this is what it means to live in that way I want a brief 98 00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:21.440 moment on like the word calling because I think sometimes we can get a bit caught up on that 99 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:27.520 or that what's my calling what's my purpose I have no idea I have absolutely no idea what my 100 00:09:27.520 --> 00:09:35.680 calling is but I am called to be like a daughter of the kids yeah like I don't know what my purposes 101 00:09:35.680 --> 00:09:40.560 or my role is in this life or this calling that I feel where some people feel it really 102 00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:47.760 greatly and that's amazing they can you know go towards that I have no idea but I'm going to trust 103 00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:52.720 that I do have a calling I do have a purpose I do have a plan for my life and because I trust 104 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.400 my God I still therefore in a live a life worthy for the plan that he has for me just a brief moment 105 00:09:58.400 --> 00:10:02.960 on that no it's great I'm all probably touched more on that when we talk about like the gift 106 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:09.680 things that God assigned absolutely because there is absolutely fruit that's the wrong 107 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.720 watch Galatians podcast amen well yeah well there's actually some of themes in this 108 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:25.600 yeah which is awesome you're right like sometimes calling can be mixed up with the 95 with what 109 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:33.200 we do with work, but it's very simply one calling, which is to be with Jesus and to act like 110 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.200 Him. 111 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:35.200 Yeah. 112 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:36.200 And to be like Him. 113 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:40.520 And there is a calling here to be humble, to be gentle, to be patient, to treat people 114 00:10:40.520 --> 00:10:46.800 with love and beyond that, to make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the 115 00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:55.240 bond of peace, unity, unity is a big part of Christ's heart. 116 00:10:55.240 --> 00:11:01.520 You don't see Jesus sitting away from people in the Bible. 117 00:11:01.520 --> 00:11:07.600 You don't see Him disunified from any people group, anyone who comes and sits with Him, 118 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.760 anyone who, like, from any different background, He will sit with Him and He chooses to give 119 00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:17.840 time to, because in God's eyes, in God's heart, all the children of God, who, like, I 120 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.440 mean, if you, depending on your theology, whether you choose it or not, but, like, He, He 121 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:27.720 will, His heart is the all-be-children of God and He wants to sit with everyone, you 122 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:28.720 know. 123 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.400 It's funny, it says, to keep the unity, not to make the unity right? 124 00:11:31.400 --> 00:11:32.400 Yeah. 125 00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:38.840 In the sense that the unity is not conjured up by our own doing. 126 00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:43.520 It's received through the Spirit that unifies us all, like it says, and it says, make 127 00:11:43.520 --> 00:11:48.680 every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 128 00:11:48.680 --> 00:11:52.840 So it's the Spirit through the bond of peace that brings us together, ties us together 129 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.320 as a wider body of Christ, whatever that means, we're going to talk about it a little 130 00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:59.320 bit. 131 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:03.680 But we're not the ones that conjure up unity. 132 00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:07.920 Christ has given us unity through the Spirit which is in us, the Spirit which is He has, 133 00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:11.560 and which you have is also in me, and that unites us. 134 00:12:11.560 --> 00:12:14.160 So let's do what we can to keep that unity. 135 00:12:14.160 --> 00:12:15.160 Yeah. 136 00:12:15.160 --> 00:12:18.400 We have three comments on unity, and that was one of them. 137 00:12:18.400 --> 00:12:19.400 Yeah. 138 00:12:19.400 --> 00:12:20.400 Well, well. 139 00:12:20.400 --> 00:12:22.400 Let's start. 140 00:12:22.400 --> 00:12:26.840 Your one of, we don't make the unity, God makes unity, but our duty is to recognize it 141 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:27.840 and keep it. 142 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.960 Second one, unity is not uniformity, does not mean we're all the same, does not mean that 143 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:36.480 we will have to agree on everything, but unity means we are united because of Jesus 144 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.800 and what is done for us. 145 00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:42.400 The third one, and then is the verse that is like, there's all the ones, one God, one 146 00:12:42.400 --> 00:12:46.280 baptism, one faith, one, whatever. 147 00:12:46.280 --> 00:12:51.960 Those things are bigger than any differences, and that's what unifies us. 148 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:56.200 And so actually, it's only like, within a church, we have one faith, we have one God, 149 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.720 we have whatever the list is. 150 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.440 But that is bigger than any differences that we could ever have, which is also a real 151 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:08.560 part of unity, is making sure our eyes are set on the right thing and not getting caught 152 00:13:08.560 --> 00:13:14.080 up on the things that make us different, but actually knowing that we're united in 153 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:15.080 Christ. 154 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.080 Amen. 155 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:17.080 And Ephesus is quite like London. 156 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.080 We're in London right now. 157 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:19.080 I don't know where you guys are. 158 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:20.080 London! 159 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.880 But I don't know where you guys are listening from, but London, for example, is super diverse. 160 00:13:23.880 --> 00:13:29.080 So many different cultures and religions and backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses. 161 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.040 Ephesus, very similar. 162 00:13:32.040 --> 00:13:37.240 And so this would have been also calling people to step away from their ethnic divides 163 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:42.560 and to actually be united in each other, not because of what they look like or how much 164 00:13:42.560 --> 00:13:45.400 might they have, but because of who they carry, because of God. 165 00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:49.320 We even had a dinner, like six months ago, which you have nothing to do with each other, 166 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:50.840 and it's like, we're so different. 167 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:51.840 What are you talking about? 168 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:55.240 Do you remember when we had that dinner at Ars and Reich? 169 00:13:55.240 --> 00:14:00.880 It was me, you, like, some people in their 70s, there was a guy who'd been to prison, 170 00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:03.080 there was a guy who worked for the church for a while. 171 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.560 Sorry, I generally thought you meant that Ars do had dinner at home. 172 00:14:05.560 --> 00:14:07.480 We lived together as housemates. 173 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:08.720 We lived together there. 174 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:10.040 Yeah, housemates. 175 00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:12.560 I generally thought you meant we haven't dinner, and the only thing you know it's us was 176 00:14:12.560 --> 00:14:13.560 dinner. 177 00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:14.560 Anyway, carry on. 178 00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:15.560 You know what I mean? 179 00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:18.080 We had like a dinner, and there was like such a variety of people around the time. 180 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:19.080 Different ages. 181 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.080 And the thing that unified us was Christ. 182 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:22.080 Yeah. 183 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:27.040 And something that I love that you've both touched on a little bit is learning a kingdom 184 00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:31.720 perspective around different backgrounds, around different cultures, around all of this 185 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:36.600 and remembering that God's kingdom is different, why differently, and we have something that 186 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.960 unifies us, which is Jesus. 187 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.720 One of the verses that I think is actually quite challenging, that I'd be really curious 188 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.880 to unpack a little bit. 189 00:14:46.880 --> 00:14:55.040 I think this can be a real division in the church, and it's verse seven, but to each one 190 00:14:55.040 --> 00:15:01.280 of us, grace has been given as Christ a portion to it. 191 00:15:01.280 --> 00:15:06.360 Like mercy is withholding what we deserve, grace is giving more than we deserve. 192 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.560 It's like giving abundance. 193 00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:16.040 And there's this thing in life where God gives different graces to different people and 194 00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:21.040 more gifts to different people, and in other words, for it could be favor. 195 00:15:21.040 --> 00:15:27.400 There's people in the church with hundreds of millions of pounds in the bank account. 196 00:15:27.400 --> 00:15:31.960 There's people in the church with minus a thousand pounds in church. 197 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.720 There's people with different giftings and abilities, and there's people like Izzy that 198 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:37.120 can't sing a right note. 199 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:38.120 Not joking. 200 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:39.120 You're actually can sing. 201 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.120 You're a great singer. 202 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:41.120 Thanks. 203 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.900 But there's this really interesting thing where God actually appoints different and 204 00:15:45.900 --> 00:15:50.660 apportions, different graces to different people for different purposes. 205 00:15:50.660 --> 00:15:56.700 And I think if left unchecked, that can be quite a big division within the church. 206 00:15:56.700 --> 00:16:04.260 And for me, I used to, like, I've got a good friend, and we'd hang out quite a lot, 207 00:16:04.260 --> 00:16:09.900 but their background, their kind of like success in their family was far greater than 208 00:16:09.900 --> 00:16:10.900 mine. 209 00:16:10.900 --> 00:16:15.580 And it was a massive tension point, because I was like, are they've gone way further 210 00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:16.580 than me? 211 00:16:16.580 --> 00:16:23.260 Like, they're successful whilst my kind of family are maybe struggling in this area or 212 00:16:23.260 --> 00:16:24.900 this area, and they're doing really well. 213 00:16:24.900 --> 00:16:26.260 Like, how does that work? 214 00:16:26.260 --> 00:16:27.860 What happens there? 215 00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:30.060 And it was really confusing and really divisive for me. 216 00:16:30.060 --> 00:16:32.260 I actually just had to chat about it. 217 00:16:32.260 --> 00:16:38.100 And favor, grace, gifting, it's really interesting. 218 00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:39.100 Any first thoughts? 219 00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:40.420 I've got some thoughts as well. 220 00:16:40.420 --> 00:16:42.820 Lessons of 5th of joy. 221 00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:47.980 And why you focus on other people's stuff when actually you just focus on your own? 222 00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:53.860 And I think it can be really hard when you start looking at what it seems like other people 223 00:16:53.860 --> 00:16:58.460 maybe get easily or get given or why am I not getting that? 224 00:16:58.460 --> 00:17:00.980 That's it. 225 00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:06.300 For me, I've just had to be like, it's not about me, it's nothing to do with me. 226 00:17:06.300 --> 00:17:11.260 And I do not know why God gives some different opportunities to some people than others. 227 00:17:11.260 --> 00:17:12.580 I don't get it. 228 00:17:12.580 --> 00:17:13.860 I don't need to get it. 229 00:17:13.860 --> 00:17:20.340 And part of my face is like, well, I trust that God knows what He's doing and actually 230 00:17:20.340 --> 00:17:21.580 is nothing to do with me. 231 00:17:21.580 --> 00:17:22.900 We're all in our own. 232 00:17:22.900 --> 00:17:27.220 I can't compare what blessings you have compared to blessings I have. 233 00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:28.220 What's that going to do? 234 00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:29.620 You just lose sight of your own blessing. 235 00:17:29.620 --> 00:17:30.620 Yeah. 236 00:17:30.620 --> 00:17:32.380 And because actually I have so much blessing. 237 00:17:32.620 --> 00:17:36.940 Yet if I then compare myself to someone which seems to have more, but you never actually, 238 00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:38.260 you also want you to never know. 239 00:17:38.260 --> 00:17:40.020 You never actually know what the heart looks like. 240 00:17:40.020 --> 00:17:41.820 You never actually know what's going on. 241 00:17:41.820 --> 00:17:45.860 So why even spend time trying to focus on your mind on someone else's blessing when 242 00:17:45.860 --> 00:17:47.820 maybe God just wants you to see your own? 243 00:17:47.820 --> 00:17:54.140 It's really hard because also our world says that the more you have the better you are 244 00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:57.860 and the more you get, the better off you are. 245 00:17:57.860 --> 00:18:00.860 And it's just not true. 246 00:18:00.860 --> 00:18:06.100 You can learn to be so content in whatever situation you have and you can learn to love God 247 00:18:06.100 --> 00:18:08.500 and trust in God and be with God. 248 00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:10.060 Again, back to the calling thing. 249 00:18:10.060 --> 00:18:14.820 We all have the same calling, whether you have hundreds of thousands, whether you have 250 00:18:14.820 --> 00:18:20.940 minus thousand, we all have the same calling, which is to be with Jesus, which is to learn 251 00:18:20.940 --> 00:18:23.020 how to be Christ like. 252 00:18:23.020 --> 00:18:27.460 And it's no different and we're all on our journey and it's really hard because it's 253 00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:32.900 so easy to look at the surface, but God's kingdom is deeper than physical wealth. 254 00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:35.980 God's kingdom is deeper than earthly favor. 255 00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:40.700 God's kingdom is backwards, it's about humanity, it's about serving. 256 00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:45.620 And so yeah, I think it's just worth naming like, there are going to be people that go 257 00:18:45.620 --> 00:18:50.140 further than you and there are going to be people that in like a worldly career sense 258 00:18:50.140 --> 00:18:53.380 and there are people that won't go as far as you. 259 00:18:53.420 --> 00:18:58.220 Each to their end, we have different scenarios that we have to learn to bring to God and 260 00:18:58.220 --> 00:18:59.540 that's the real Lord. 261 00:18:59.540 --> 00:19:04.220 Yeah, I also think like when you receive blessing, it's like, well, how do I best give God 262 00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:05.220 the glory? 263 00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:06.220 Yeah. 264 00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:10.300 And actually a lot of that is being humble about it and being humble isn't going to 265 00:19:10.300 --> 00:19:11.900 something like, oh, look, how God blessed me. 266 00:19:11.900 --> 00:19:15.620 I'm giving him the glory, no, it's actually giving him the glory and people don't necessarily 267 00:19:15.620 --> 00:19:16.620 need to know. 268 00:19:16.620 --> 00:19:17.620 Yeah. 269 00:19:17.620 --> 00:19:21.420 So I think actually we, we cannot control how other people communicate their blessing 270 00:19:21.420 --> 00:19:26.820 or their opportunity or stuff like that, but we can, we can focus on ourselves and what 271 00:19:26.820 --> 00:19:28.060 can we best do? 272 00:19:28.060 --> 00:19:29.060 And learn gratitude. 273 00:19:29.060 --> 00:19:30.060 Yeah. 274 00:19:30.060 --> 00:19:34.700 First of all, that's the secret, hey, to a lot of comparison. 275 00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:39.180 Thank you Lord for this, thank you, thank you, learning to say thank you is just such a 276 00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:40.180 powerful tool. 277 00:19:40.180 --> 00:19:41.180 Absolutely. 278 00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:46.460 And it just teaches you to love God, rely on him and be grateful, no matter what your 279 00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:47.460 situation. 280 00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:52.900 The glory humility is through being grateful to be honest. 281 00:19:52.900 --> 00:19:56.140 Hello, I'm just interrupting the podcast to say thanks for listening and I hope you're 282 00:19:56.140 --> 00:19:57.140 enjoying. 283 00:19:57.140 --> 00:20:01.580 But we would love that if you're watching on YouTube to give us a like and a subscribe 284 00:20:01.580 --> 00:20:05.860 and if you're listening on Apple or Spotify, then why don't you give us a follow and then 285 00:20:05.860 --> 00:20:10.460 it all rating because our mission is to share the good news of Jesus with every young person 286 00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:16.900 online and you doing that really helps make that possible, but let's get back to the episode. 287 00:20:16.900 --> 00:20:24.740 Let's go for, maybe I'll read it, verse 1116, I'm reading from the NIV. 288 00:20:24.740 --> 00:20:32.780 So Christ Himself gave the apostles the prophets, the evangelists, the pastor, the teacher to 289 00:20:32.780 --> 00:20:35.340 equip His people for works of service. 290 00:20:35.340 --> 00:20:41.700 So the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the 291 00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:48.140 knowledge of the Son of God and become mature attaining to the whole measure of the fullness 292 00:20:48.140 --> 00:20:50.500 of Christ. 293 00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:56.860 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, blown here and 294 00:20:56.860 --> 00:21:02.860 there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful 295 00:21:02.860 --> 00:21:03.860 scheming. 296 00:21:03.860 --> 00:21:10.460 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect, the mature 297 00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:12.780 body of Him who is the head. 298 00:21:12.780 --> 00:21:14.940 That is Christ. 299 00:21:14.940 --> 00:21:21.500 From Him, the whole body, join and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds 300 00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:23.420 itself up in love. 301 00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:25.420 As each part does its work. 302 00:21:25.420 --> 00:21:27.500 I could speak for hours just on that. 303 00:21:27.500 --> 00:21:28.500 Yes, so could I. 304 00:21:28.500 --> 00:21:29.980 Matty, go first then. 305 00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:35.580 Oh my goodness, matty, okay, there are lots of different roles and 306 00:21:35.580 --> 00:21:38.580 giftings that God has given us. 307 00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:43.660 The ones that are outlined here, the pastor, the teacher, the apostle and the evangelist. 308 00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:46.860 These are leadership roles within the church, specifically for church. 309 00:21:46.860 --> 00:21:51.380 The teacher, that's quite self-explanatory, that's the person who teaches in it, an ability 310 00:21:51.380 --> 00:21:58.580 to articulate and explain things to others in such a way that they are able to understand. 311 00:21:58.580 --> 00:22:01.580 And that doesn't always mean actually teacher. 312 00:22:01.580 --> 00:22:03.300 That just means in the way that you communicate. 313 00:22:03.300 --> 00:22:04.300 Exactly. 314 00:22:04.300 --> 00:22:05.300 That's the same thing. 315 00:22:05.300 --> 00:22:09.900 Doesn't mean you're on a white board or preach on stage. 316 00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:15.900 The pastor, that's like a spiritual leadership, leading people in their spiritual journey. 317 00:22:15.900 --> 00:22:19.500 I guess all these leadership types, the leading people, their spiritual world. 318 00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:20.500 The pastor teaches the links in my mind. 319 00:22:20.500 --> 00:22:22.340 Yeah, and they kind of shepherds as well. 320 00:22:22.340 --> 00:22:24.340 Exactly, that means like, take care of people. 321 00:22:24.340 --> 00:22:25.340 Probably shepherds in through the Word, isn't it? 322 00:22:25.340 --> 00:22:26.340 Yeah. 323 00:22:26.340 --> 00:22:28.140 The pastor teaches a really linked. 324 00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:31.580 People with pastor or hearts tend to really care about people. 325 00:22:31.580 --> 00:22:32.580 Yeah. 326 00:22:32.580 --> 00:22:36.740 You see that maybe in yourself, like you really have a heart for people and then you feel 327 00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:40.380 with compassion for people, maybe actually you have that gifting, that pastor or gifting. 328 00:22:40.380 --> 00:22:45.300 And the evangelist is the leader which is brokenhearted for the lost. 329 00:22:45.300 --> 00:22:49.980 Now we're all called to be evangelists and as Christians and share our faith. 330 00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:53.340 To evangelize me, I don't actually know what it means, but evangelists some of us share 331 00:22:53.340 --> 00:22:55.020 this faith. 332 00:22:55.020 --> 00:22:59.180 But this is someone that specifically holds that, like that calling, all that gifting that's 333 00:22:59.180 --> 00:23:03.300 used to want to share their faith with people around them. 334 00:23:03.300 --> 00:23:08.020 I know for me, I, there's something that I need to be intentional in when I share my 335 00:23:08.020 --> 00:23:09.020 faith. 336 00:23:09.020 --> 00:23:12.100 Because otherwise I forget, but some people, it just, it flows out of them. 337 00:23:12.100 --> 00:23:13.100 Yeah. 338 00:23:13.100 --> 00:23:16.940 And then you have the apostle which is a little bit confusing, but from what I've heard 339 00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:20.340 from the teachings I've heard, it's like, it's almost like a combination of all four 340 00:23:20.340 --> 00:23:26.340 of those, three of those, where it's like you're able to do all of them, but crucially, 341 00:23:26.340 --> 00:23:28.940 you are able to step into the role when it's needed. 342 00:23:28.940 --> 00:23:32.980 So it's almost like the jack of all trades, and then if you guys have a different, like 343 00:23:32.980 --> 00:23:34.700 their explanation for the apostle. 344 00:23:34.700 --> 00:23:42.020 And also being like apostolic is to want to, like you've got apostolic tendencies, the 345 00:23:42.020 --> 00:23:48.980 like description of that would be to like building things and to like almost be entrepreneurial 346 00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:52.700 and and have a wider vision to build something up. 347 00:23:52.700 --> 00:23:56.580 So you look at the apostles in the gospel, they were great pastors, they're great teachers, 348 00:23:56.580 --> 00:24:01.060 they're great evangelists, but what made them more apostolic is because they actually 349 00:24:01.060 --> 00:24:05.500 built something wider than just like honed in on one thing. 350 00:24:05.500 --> 00:24:10.660 So if you've got like, if you're an entrepreneur, if you like trying things dreaming, that's 351 00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:13.180 a very like apostolic heart. 352 00:24:13.180 --> 00:24:16.380 My commentary explained them all really well, but I didn't take notes, I can't remember 353 00:24:16.380 --> 00:24:17.380 it, but they're all really... 354 00:24:17.380 --> 00:24:18.380 Yeah, things are telling us that. 355 00:24:18.380 --> 00:24:22.860 Yeah, and welcome, but you can look it up yourself, but they're all very like individual 356 00:24:22.860 --> 00:24:28.540 roles that are all very important, but really key parts of building the church and equip 357 00:24:28.540 --> 00:24:30.300 the people for the work of service. 358 00:24:30.300 --> 00:24:31.300 Well, that's it. 359 00:24:31.300 --> 00:24:32.300 Which is... 360 00:24:32.300 --> 00:24:33.300 It's for the people. 361 00:24:33.300 --> 00:24:38.820 It's for the people, and actually it's, it's the word equip is to put right used to setting 362 00:24:38.820 --> 00:24:41.980 broken bones, all like mending nets, as well as what I was thinking, sewing, because of 363 00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:42.980 the nets. 364 00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:47.100 But so it's talking about like it's producing strong fit and mended Christians. 365 00:24:47.100 --> 00:24:48.100 It's about... 366 00:24:48.100 --> 00:24:49.100 That's great. 367 00:24:49.100 --> 00:24:56.420 Now, church is all about, you know, maturing the saints, maturing the people, and so they 368 00:24:56.420 --> 00:25:03.620 can edify the overall body and bring the moral ground up, the spiritual ground up, and 369 00:25:03.620 --> 00:25:10.060 that's what it's all for, is all of these people is purely for to build that stronger, 370 00:25:10.060 --> 00:25:14.100 cook them over with God on this earth, which, I mean, I love church, you've talked 371 00:25:14.100 --> 00:25:18.060 about this quite a lot in the last few podcasts of like, why church is important, but this 372 00:25:18.060 --> 00:25:22.580 is really speaking into that of the role of church and what it has to play. 373 00:25:22.580 --> 00:25:24.860 And it's all linked to all that unity and stuff. 374 00:25:24.860 --> 00:25:25.860 And I've got... 375 00:25:25.860 --> 00:25:27.220 I'm in German head a little bit, but you guys shouldn't jump back. 376 00:25:27.220 --> 00:25:28.220 But it's... 377 00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:32.620 It's talking about to equip his people for works of service so that the body of Christ 378 00:25:32.620 --> 00:25:37.980 may be built up as I covered, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge 379 00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:44.180 of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 380 00:25:44.180 --> 00:25:52.420 Basically, it's like until we're united together, then when we're united, then we will attain 381 00:25:52.420 --> 00:25:57.580 the whole measure of fullness of Christ, but that unity piece of all those roles coming 382 00:25:57.580 --> 00:26:02.220 together, which are different roles, but all really important, coming together to build 383 00:26:02.220 --> 00:26:03.220 the body. 384 00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:06.420 That's when we'll receive the fullness, the full measure of Christ. 385 00:26:06.420 --> 00:26:08.980 Oh, so good, it's really good. 386 00:26:08.980 --> 00:26:10.700 And how does a prophet do that? 387 00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:11.700 Did I skip the prophet? 388 00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:12.700 You did skip the prophet. 389 00:26:12.700 --> 00:26:13.700 Oh. 390 00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:19.740 The prophet is someone who's been appointed with a grace, you talk about people giving 391 00:26:19.740 --> 00:26:24.020 different favors and graces, someone who has been appointed with a grace to hear God's 392 00:26:24.020 --> 00:26:25.020 voice. 393 00:26:25.020 --> 00:26:26.620 And so in Portuguese, we don't. 394 00:26:26.620 --> 00:26:31.580 As far as I know, you have proficier, which is the word for prophecy, but most of the 395 00:26:31.580 --> 00:26:34.620 time, it's just, you just say like the word of God. 396 00:26:34.620 --> 00:26:39.020 And so it's like the prophet is those who hear the word of God for the people. 397 00:26:39.020 --> 00:26:44.900 So it's like this symbionic relationship where they receive from God, and they share 398 00:26:44.900 --> 00:26:45.900 it to the people. 399 00:26:45.900 --> 00:26:51.780 And so maybe you feel as if you might have the prophetic gift, and that is something 400 00:26:51.780 --> 00:26:53.060 for you to be practicing. 401 00:26:53.060 --> 00:26:57.660 The Bible says that we, and we believe her at the way, that we will have the Holy Spirit 402 00:26:57.660 --> 00:26:58.660 within us. 403 00:26:58.660 --> 00:27:00.820 And so that means we're able to hear from God as well. 404 00:27:00.820 --> 00:27:06.100 So we're able to hear from God, but some people have a very special gift where they hear 405 00:27:06.100 --> 00:27:07.660 more from God than others. 406 00:27:07.660 --> 00:27:08.980 Those guys are scary, man. 407 00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:14.060 Yeah, they're like, you read you mail, man, yes, it's tough. 408 00:27:14.060 --> 00:27:18.500 And crucially, these, these giftings, they're not so that we're able to raise up these 409 00:27:18.500 --> 00:27:22.540 individual people, and maybe if you feel as if you have some of these giftings, you might 410 00:27:22.540 --> 00:27:25.540 feel like they pumped up like, yeah, I think I'm a prophet. 411 00:27:25.540 --> 00:27:31.420 But then it's actually not even about you at all, as he said, it's to serve the church. 412 00:27:31.420 --> 00:27:35.220 That's why God has given the church these people with these giftings, so that he's able 413 00:27:35.220 --> 00:27:36.700 to raise up the church. 414 00:27:36.700 --> 00:27:38.700 He blesses us in order to bless others. 415 00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:39.980 Yeah, totally. 416 00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:46.620 And also I think a sign of like a successful church, the evidence of a maturing church is 417 00:27:46.620 --> 00:27:50.300 lots of the things he's spoken about, but it's also us all playing our part. 418 00:27:50.300 --> 00:27:55.180 I think that's also what it's talking about in here and about the, in the 16th, the whole 419 00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:59.660 body being coming together, like we all have a part to play. 420 00:27:59.660 --> 00:28:04.020 And so even, maybe you go to church, but you don't really like serve anywhere. 421 00:28:04.020 --> 00:28:07.940 And I think it's, it can be like, oh, they're just, they just want me for my time. 422 00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:08.940 They want me for my money. 423 00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:11.340 And it's like, well, no, actually you've got a role. 424 00:28:11.340 --> 00:28:15.700 God's got a role for you in his church, where he's got this calling for you, or a special 425 00:28:15.700 --> 00:28:21.380 scale, or if you're good with like teaching children, or if it's worship, or if it's you're 426 00:28:21.380 --> 00:28:27.140 great, welcoming people, or like there's so many roles, but we need, the body needs 427 00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:28.140 everyone. 428 00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:32.540 And so actually a like a successful thriving church is actually one that where everyone 429 00:28:32.540 --> 00:28:39.340 is, you know, pouring into in order to build the body, and that includes us all playing 430 00:28:39.340 --> 00:28:40.340 our part. 431 00:28:40.340 --> 00:28:43.940 There's a tough pill to swallow, which is there are no such things as spectators in the 432 00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:48.540 church, in the body of Christ, tough, tough. 433 00:28:48.540 --> 00:28:52.940 I felt like a spectator sometimes, but I'm just like, yeah, it's nice, but actually, 434 00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:53.940 no such thing. 435 00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:54.940 Go again, Vol. 436 00:28:54.940 --> 00:28:55.940 You're stuck in, mate. 437 00:28:55.940 --> 00:28:56.940 Yeah. 438 00:28:56.940 --> 00:28:57.940 It's good. 439 00:28:57.940 --> 00:28:58.940 It's fun. 440 00:28:58.940 --> 00:29:08.060 It's like talking about maturing, and it says, so that you'll no longer be infant, so 441 00:29:08.060 --> 00:29:13.060 that you'll no longer be tossed back and forth by the waves, but in here, they're every 442 00:29:13.060 --> 00:29:18.340 wind of teaching, and by cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 443 00:29:18.340 --> 00:29:20.660 I think Paul's just like being honest. 444 00:29:20.660 --> 00:29:26.860 There are people with weird teachings, man, and there are people with weird agendas to 445 00:29:26.860 --> 00:29:33.340 try and get you to believe what they're teaching for their own agendas. 446 00:29:33.340 --> 00:29:40.260 One of the reasons why the church is really important is because you get plugged into a belief 447 00:29:40.260 --> 00:29:45.740 and a theology that the church holds as well, and you let that, like the pastor who you 448 00:29:45.740 --> 00:29:48.100 trust, the theology, kind of shape your thinking. 449 00:29:48.100 --> 00:29:55.660 I know for us, as younger guys, and Izzy, as like this ancient woman, that was tough, 450 00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:56.660 that was savage, wasn't it? 451 00:29:56.660 --> 00:29:57.660 Was that unhulsing talk? 452 00:29:57.660 --> 00:29:59.660 We'll talk about that in a minute. 453 00:29:59.660 --> 00:30:03.660 You know, we're all in our early 20s. 454 00:30:03.660 --> 00:30:13.500 Hang on, let me rephrase, we're all in our 20s, but all of our brains are developing 455 00:30:13.500 --> 00:30:17.140 at this point in time, right, up until 25. 456 00:30:17.140 --> 00:30:20.900 Your brains are literally developing all the time, doesn't mean you can't learn anything 457 00:30:20.900 --> 00:30:23.660 from 25 class, but it is different. 458 00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:31.420 And so what we're learning and absorbing at this point is really foundational to the 459 00:30:31.420 --> 00:30:37.620 rest of our lives, but it also, in its development stage, means that it can be shaped quite easily. 460 00:30:37.620 --> 00:30:42.500 It can be changed quite easily, and so we do actually have to be quite careful about what 461 00:30:42.500 --> 00:30:46.380 we're listening to, what we're beginning to believe, what our thought patterns look 462 00:30:46.380 --> 00:30:49.140 like. 463 00:30:49.140 --> 00:30:54.580 And the sad thing is, the sad truth is, there are different agendas and different teachings 464 00:30:54.580 --> 00:30:56.380 which aren't biblical. 465 00:30:56.380 --> 00:31:01.620 So we have to learn what it is to discern for ourselves what's true through the Bible's 466 00:31:01.620 --> 00:31:06.900 lens, what's true through a godly perspective lens, and then hopefully try to find a place 467 00:31:06.900 --> 00:31:11.260 that aligns enough with your theology that will grow you and mature you and teach you 468 00:31:11.260 --> 00:31:15.020 a biblical standard and a biblical truth in love, like it says. 469 00:31:15.020 --> 00:31:18.780 If you don't and you don't watch out for it and you just kind of, you're like, yeah, 470 00:31:18.780 --> 00:31:23.820 my faith is kind of, everything is like personal. 471 00:31:23.820 --> 00:31:27.740 Every single thing is kind of what I feel on that day. 472 00:31:27.740 --> 00:31:30.460 Then you're going to be blown left, right and center, and you're going to be left with 473 00:31:30.460 --> 00:31:34.580 no core belief and core values and biblical worldview. 474 00:31:34.580 --> 00:31:38.780 You've got to listen out for what you're listening to and what's shaping you and what you're 475 00:31:38.780 --> 00:31:42.860 paying attention to, and that's what will really truthfully bring you to grow. 476 00:31:42.860 --> 00:31:46.820 And it's not about challenging every single thing you hear, but I think just making sure 477 00:31:46.820 --> 00:31:47.820 you're thinking about it. 478 00:31:47.820 --> 00:31:51.180 Even when you're listening to the way podcast, we're all human, we don't know everything 479 00:31:51.180 --> 00:31:52.180 about the Bible. 480 00:31:52.180 --> 00:31:57.180 So actually, if we say something and you're like, oh, I'm not sure how I feel about that. 481 00:31:57.180 --> 00:32:00.340 Look into it, read it, work out what you think for yourself. 482 00:32:00.340 --> 00:32:01.820 Should we move on? 483 00:32:01.820 --> 00:32:02.820 Yeah, let's do it. 484 00:32:02.820 --> 00:32:04.420 Just next big chunk. 485 00:32:04.420 --> 00:32:09.500 Yeah, 17 to 32, Mateusz, do you want to take it? 486 00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:16.780 So I tell you this and insist on it in the Lord that you must no longer live as Gentiles 487 00:32:16.780 --> 00:32:19.460 do in the futility of their thinking. 488 00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:24.500 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because 489 00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:29.860 of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 490 00:32:29.860 --> 00:32:35.740 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to the sensuality. 491 00:32:35.740 --> 00:32:44.220 So as to indulge in every kind of impurity with a continual lust for more, you, however, 492 00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:47.060 did not come to know Christ that way. 493 00:32:47.060 --> 00:32:52.740 Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is 494 00:32:52.740 --> 00:32:54.140 in Jesus. 495 00:32:54.140 --> 00:32:59.380 You were taught with regards to your former ways of life, to put off your old self which 496 00:32:59.380 --> 00:33:02.340 is being corrupted by its deceitful desire. 497 00:33:02.340 --> 00:33:09.140 So we made new in the attitudes of the mind and to put on the new self created to be like 498 00:33:09.140 --> 00:33:12.900 God in true righteousness and holiness. 499 00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:21.180 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor for we 500 00:33:21.180 --> 00:33:24.700 all are members of one body. 501 00:33:24.700 --> 00:33:30.740 When your anger do not sin, do not let the sun go down while you are still angry and 502 00:33:30.740 --> 00:33:33.820 do not give the devil a foothold. 503 00:33:33.820 --> 00:33:40.340 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work doing something useful with 504 00:33:40.340 --> 00:33:46.180 his own hands that he may have something to share with those in need. 505 00:33:46.180 --> 00:33:52.940 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for 506 00:33:52.940 --> 00:34:01.900 building others up according to their needs, that it may be beneficial for those who listen 507 00:34:01.900 --> 00:34:10.020 and do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God with whom you are sealed for the day of redemption. 508 00:34:10.020 --> 00:34:16.740 Get rid of all business rage and anger, brawling, slander, along with every form of malice. 509 00:34:16.740 --> 00:34:22.900 Be kind and compassionate to one another, for giving each other just as in Christ 510 00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:25.660 God forgave you. 511 00:34:25.660 --> 00:34:26.660 Thank you, Matyrs. 512 00:34:26.660 --> 00:34:27.660 Thank you very much. 513 00:34:27.660 --> 00:34:28.660 That was a long passage. 514 00:34:28.660 --> 00:34:29.660 This is the word of the Lord. 515 00:34:29.660 --> 00:34:30.660 This is the word of the Lord. 516 00:34:30.660 --> 00:34:31.660 Amen. 517 00:34:31.660 --> 00:34:32.660 I love this section. 518 00:34:32.660 --> 00:34:38.580 I think it's a really practical section, and I mean the Bible is very practical, but this 519 00:34:38.580 --> 00:34:43.460 is very practical, and I think I'm going to skip the first couple of ones, but it's basically 520 00:34:43.460 --> 00:34:49.060 talking about what life would look like if you're not with Jesus, nice. 521 00:34:49.060 --> 00:34:54.460 And then in 22, it says to put off your old self and then on 24, saying to put on the 522 00:34:54.460 --> 00:34:55.780 new self. 523 00:34:55.780 --> 00:35:01.380 And so the next few verses after that is all about what are you physically putting off 524 00:35:01.380 --> 00:35:02.380 and putting on? 525 00:35:02.380 --> 00:35:05.340 And this is like an intentional thing, right? 526 00:35:05.340 --> 00:35:09.140 Like it's not, you will get onto the armor of God later, don't you worry? 527 00:35:09.140 --> 00:35:10.140 The teaser. 528 00:35:10.140 --> 00:35:14.940 The old teaser to what's to come, but it's a really practical thing where it's that you 529 00:35:14.940 --> 00:35:20.260 can physically, intentionally like identify the things that you need to take off and 530 00:35:20.260 --> 00:35:25.180 what you need to replace it with, and so even like reading through this list, it basically 531 00:35:25.180 --> 00:35:29.780 speaks about what you shouldn't, shouldn't do. 532 00:35:29.780 --> 00:35:32.420 Don't any of the, any of the lists stand out to you guys? 533 00:35:32.420 --> 00:35:36.500 I think the thing that reminds me of you a lot is the rage one. 534 00:35:36.500 --> 00:35:37.500 Brilliant. 535 00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:38.500 Yeah. 536 00:35:38.500 --> 00:35:39.500 I don't get that ragey. 537 00:35:39.500 --> 00:35:40.500 Yeah, you don't. 538 00:35:40.500 --> 00:35:42.500 That's why I used it as an example. 539 00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:45.380 Just like rage bait fell for that, didn't I, darn it? 540 00:35:45.380 --> 00:35:47.380 I don't get that ragey. 541 00:35:47.380 --> 00:35:48.380 Okay. 542 00:35:48.380 --> 00:35:49.380 How dare you? 543 00:35:49.380 --> 00:35:51.140 I think emotional to take out to make it. 544 00:35:51.140 --> 00:35:52.140 Am I? 545 00:35:52.140 --> 00:35:53.140 No, you're fine. 546 00:35:53.140 --> 00:35:57.340 Um, anyone's that you actually feel like a really applicable? 547 00:35:57.340 --> 00:35:58.340 Hmm. 548 00:35:58.340 --> 00:36:04.300 I think bitterness, I can grow a little too weary, particularly if I haven't slept well 549 00:36:04.300 --> 00:36:05.780 or eaten enough food. 550 00:36:05.780 --> 00:36:12.300 But when we're tired and what is it normally when you're tired and lonely and bored is 551 00:36:12.300 --> 00:36:14.780 normally when we like sin more, and hungry. 552 00:36:14.780 --> 00:36:15.780 Sure. 553 00:36:15.780 --> 00:36:16.780 We'll add that to the list. 554 00:36:16.780 --> 00:36:17.780 Yeah. 555 00:36:17.780 --> 00:36:18.780 Tired, lonely, bored, and hungry. 556 00:36:18.780 --> 00:36:23.180 I just get a bit more short with people and bitter and generally a bit like that. 557 00:36:23.180 --> 00:36:24.180 Yeah. 558 00:36:24.180 --> 00:36:26.500 I wonder whether like being angry isn't a sin, right? 559 00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:29.540 It's not, it's not a sin in and of itself. 560 00:36:29.540 --> 00:36:35.260 Like there is a, there is a righteous rage in your anger, do not sin, but in your anger 561 00:36:35.260 --> 00:36:36.260 do not sin. 562 00:36:36.260 --> 00:36:37.260 Right. 563 00:36:37.260 --> 00:36:40.540 So don't, don't allow your anger or these things like being hungry isn't a sin. 564 00:36:40.540 --> 00:36:41.540 No. 565 00:36:41.620 --> 00:36:46.060 It isn't a sin, but in these things, don't allow these things to lead you away from God 566 00:36:46.060 --> 00:36:51.860 because actually they could be and it says it could be a foothold for, for the opposite 567 00:36:51.860 --> 00:36:52.860 spirit. 568 00:36:52.860 --> 00:36:53.860 So just be aware, right? 569 00:36:53.860 --> 00:36:56.620 You know, and understand yourself, like you said it's super practical, be practical 570 00:36:56.620 --> 00:36:57.860 then don't overspiritualize it. 571 00:36:57.860 --> 00:37:02.260 If you know for yourself that when you start getting angry, I mean, start getting tired, 572 00:37:02.260 --> 00:37:03.260 you have a short attempt. 573 00:37:03.260 --> 00:37:04.260 Hmm. 574 00:37:04.260 --> 00:37:05.260 Okay, just sleep more, mate. 575 00:37:05.260 --> 00:37:09.900 You sleep more or when you're tired, remove yourself from, from that situation because 576 00:37:10.900 --> 00:37:14.100 from like, I yeah, these situations, which you know will make you angry. 577 00:37:14.100 --> 00:37:18.260 Yeah, it's putting things in place that can best serve you. 578 00:37:18.260 --> 00:37:22.420 And I think that, that list at the end in 31, which is get rid of your bitterness, rage, 579 00:37:22.420 --> 00:37:29.180 anger, bullying, yeah, slander, all of that stuff, I think it's, it's like when these 580 00:37:29.180 --> 00:37:33.700 things occur, these things will occur, but like when these things occur, it's dealing 581 00:37:33.700 --> 00:37:38.820 with them in a manner that's actually glorifying to God because it's again like anger isn't 582 00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:39.820 a sin. 583 00:37:39.820 --> 00:37:43.500 There's righteous anger, Jesus took over some tables and in the temple from righteous 584 00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:44.500 anger. 585 00:37:44.500 --> 00:37:48.300 However, because we're human, it would ensure there's always some level of human anger 586 00:37:48.300 --> 00:37:49.300 in there. 587 00:37:49.300 --> 00:37:54.140 But it's actually how do we, as you're saying, how do we actually process our emotion, 588 00:37:54.140 --> 00:37:58.940 process us anger, process what we're feeling in a way that instead glorifies God or like 589 00:37:58.940 --> 00:38:02.540 bring in it to God, I think it's really important. 590 00:38:02.540 --> 00:38:05.900 And I think it's a really important, and being really real with yourself is going through 591 00:38:05.900 --> 00:38:08.940 this list and don't just be like, oh, these don't apply to me. 592 00:38:08.940 --> 00:38:10.420 These will apply to us. 593 00:38:10.420 --> 00:38:14.980 These are very real human things that, me may not be feeling all of them at the same time, 594 00:38:14.980 --> 00:38:19.180 but I've definitely felt, I'm guessing majority of them, so actually it's being really 595 00:38:19.180 --> 00:38:20.180 real with that. 596 00:38:20.180 --> 00:38:22.460 Sit with yourself, like study over it, and like what's God saying? 597 00:38:22.460 --> 00:38:24.580 What's the thing that actually you need to put off? 598 00:38:24.580 --> 00:38:28.380 What are the things that you need to instead replace with all this truth that we've heard 599 00:38:28.380 --> 00:38:33.660 from chapters one to three of like, what God calls you to be and like re-identifying yourself. 600 00:38:33.660 --> 00:38:36.460 You're not an angry person, you're a child of God. 601 00:38:36.460 --> 00:38:37.460 What does that look like? 602 00:38:37.500 --> 00:38:41.500 Instead of being angry and lashing out, I'm going to be compassionate and kind. 603 00:38:41.500 --> 00:38:42.660 Or what does that look like? 604 00:38:42.660 --> 00:38:50.540 Well, maybe instead of reacting, it's having this calm conversation or showing them love 605 00:38:50.540 --> 00:38:53.580 in a way that still bring the truth and love, which kind of skipped over that earlier, 606 00:38:53.580 --> 00:38:58.620 but love isn't necessarily tending nothing happens, but actually bringing it in love 607 00:38:58.620 --> 00:39:00.940 in a way that, again, glorifies God. 608 00:39:00.940 --> 00:39:01.940 Do you know what I mean? 609 00:39:01.940 --> 00:39:07.260 That's very vague example, but it's actually spend time going through this 610 00:39:07.260 --> 00:39:11.300 and being like, what do I struggle with and how can we practically put that off 611 00:39:11.300 --> 00:39:12.860 and put something else on instead? 612 00:39:12.860 --> 00:39:15.700 This whole passage, actually, reminds me of the verse in Romans 12, 613 00:39:15.700 --> 00:39:20.980 it says, do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, 614 00:39:20.980 --> 00:39:24.300 be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 615 00:39:24.300 --> 00:39:29.940 And so just like the Church of Ephesus, we today are being influenced, like you said, 616 00:39:29.940 --> 00:39:33.940 like you guys said, by the things around us, and we are influenced, we are human. 617 00:39:33.980 --> 00:39:38.820 But our goal isn't to be malleable or oscillating back. 618 00:39:38.820 --> 00:39:42.220 It was in forwards because of things that are going on around us. 619 00:39:42.220 --> 00:39:45.820 We want to be transformed by who Christ is and who Christ is, 620 00:39:45.820 --> 00:39:49.260 is He is the renewer, He renews and redeems who we are. 621 00:39:49.260 --> 00:39:53.460 And crucially, like it says in the passage, and it says here somewhere, it's up to the verse. 622 00:39:53.460 --> 00:39:58.900 23, it says, be made new in the attitudes of your mind. 623 00:39:58.900 --> 00:40:01.900 And so basically, when we approach Jesus, 624 00:40:01.900 --> 00:40:06.580 and when we deepen our relationship with Him, when we conform, 625 00:40:06.580 --> 00:40:09.540 no longer to the ways of our world, 626 00:40:09.540 --> 00:40:12.700 but actually choose to conform to His kingdom culture, 627 00:40:12.700 --> 00:40:14.980 we are transformed our mind to changes. 628 00:40:14.980 --> 00:40:20.220 And I'm like, think of myself when I was, when I was, when I'd give Him our laugh to Jesus. 629 00:40:21.260 --> 00:40:25.740 If I'm getting honest, like I wasn't speaking very half, like, what's the word? 630 00:40:25.780 --> 00:40:29.660 How's it going to wholesomely, you know, I was probably like slipping out, 631 00:40:29.660 --> 00:40:33.860 swear words at work all the time, or, or, or God's being about people. 632 00:40:33.860 --> 00:40:36.780 And I'm still on a journey right, and I'm not perfect. 633 00:40:36.780 --> 00:40:43.300 But I've seen the way that my relationship with Jesus has transformed me from the inside out. 634 00:40:43.300 --> 00:40:43.780 Yeah. 635 00:40:43.780 --> 00:40:49.940 So actually, from the inside, I'm transformed and that reflects in the way that my outward perception is. 636 00:40:49.940 --> 00:40:50.860 Because I'm transformed. 637 00:40:50.860 --> 00:40:52.180 My mind is being transformed. 638 00:40:52.180 --> 00:40:54.300 And it's continuous and it's not a one time thing. 639 00:40:54.300 --> 00:40:58.340 And I love how it's kind of, it's in response to the church, 640 00:40:58.340 --> 00:41:01.700 it's in response to external. 641 00:41:01.700 --> 00:41:05.700 Like you read a lot of these things that's telling you to get rid of bitterness, rage, 642 00:41:05.700 --> 00:41:08.580 anger, brawling, slander, any form of malice, 643 00:41:08.580 --> 00:41:14.140 who's all of the slander towards, usually an external person. 644 00:41:14.140 --> 00:41:18.980 And actually what you're putting on is be a kind, compassionate to one another, 645 00:41:18.980 --> 00:41:23.380 forgiving each other, just as Christ forgave you. 646 00:41:23.380 --> 00:41:25.260 It's all about the church. 647 00:41:25.260 --> 00:41:29.500 It's all about community and unity. 648 00:41:29.500 --> 00:41:31.340 I love that the pool is just so real. 649 00:41:31.340 --> 00:41:34.820 He's like, you know, once were you, once were I. 650 00:41:34.820 --> 00:41:39.020 Like if you read through all of his letters, you'll see that it's a theme where he's like, 651 00:41:39.020 --> 00:41:42.940 look at the Gentiles, look at how those who don't know Christ are living. 652 00:41:42.940 --> 00:41:44.980 This is not good. 653 00:41:44.980 --> 00:41:46.060 And this was me. 654 00:41:46.100 --> 00:41:50.140 I've like gone through this experience where I've been away from Christ, 655 00:41:50.140 --> 00:41:54.380 and it has been like worthless, and it has felt empty. 656 00:41:54.380 --> 00:41:59.380 I know that's my story, my personal story, when I was cut off from Jesus, 657 00:41:59.380 --> 00:42:03.260 and I didn't know God personally, my life looked empty. 658 00:42:03.260 --> 00:42:04.620 I was bitter. 659 00:42:04.620 --> 00:42:06.580 I wasn't in control of my mind. 660 00:42:06.580 --> 00:42:10.740 I wasn't able to bring my mental health struggles to Jesus, 661 00:42:10.740 --> 00:42:14.580 and I felt isolated lonely and just, 662 00:42:14.580 --> 00:42:18.460 I go just lump of poo. 663 00:42:18.460 --> 00:42:21.460 And then you meet Jesus, 664 00:42:21.460 --> 00:42:26.500 and there's this invitation to take off the old self, 665 00:42:26.500 --> 00:42:29.700 take off the things of the world that actually weigh us down, 666 00:42:29.700 --> 00:42:33.980 and put on this like amazing gift, which is the gospel, 667 00:42:33.980 --> 00:42:37.300 put on this like blanket, which says I'm loved, 668 00:42:37.300 --> 00:42:39.380 put on this blanket that says I'm chosen, 669 00:42:39.380 --> 00:42:41.460 put on this blanket that says I'm called, 670 00:42:41.460 --> 00:42:43.620 put on this blanket that says no matter what I do 671 00:42:43.660 --> 00:42:45.980 for the rest of my life, no height, no depth, 672 00:42:45.980 --> 00:42:49.100 no angels, no demons, I love you, son. 673 00:42:49.100 --> 00:42:51.340 That's the invitation to what we're putting on. 674 00:42:51.340 --> 00:42:54.740 And with that comes this stuff. 675 00:42:54.740 --> 00:42:57.340 With that comes this fruit of the Spirit. 676 00:42:57.340 --> 00:43:02.660 And so I feel a real challenge to practically every day, 677 00:43:02.660 --> 00:43:06.180 put on this blanket of identity that I'm loved as a son, 678 00:43:06.180 --> 00:43:08.620 but also to spend time with the Holy Spirit, 679 00:43:08.620 --> 00:43:11.300 because that is the thing that will shape you 680 00:43:11.300 --> 00:43:13.340 into being the man that I want to be, 681 00:43:13.340 --> 00:43:16.420 and it will shape me into being the man that Christ wants me to be, 682 00:43:16.420 --> 00:43:17.980 which is like him. 683 00:43:17.980 --> 00:43:20.540 And so I just find it so helpful, 684 00:43:20.540 --> 00:43:22.820 because Paul doesn't like fluff it over. 685 00:43:22.820 --> 00:43:25.700 He's not afraid like youth leaders to say the word sex. 686 00:43:25.700 --> 00:43:28.780 He's not afraid like youth leaders to say word centrality. 687 00:43:28.780 --> 00:43:29.780 This is real stuff. 688 00:43:29.780 --> 00:43:31.940 This is stuff that we all struggle with. 689 00:43:31.940 --> 00:43:34.140 And yet Paul is saying like, no, it's fine. 690 00:43:34.140 --> 00:43:35.660 Like we all struggle with it, 691 00:43:35.660 --> 00:43:38.620 but just remember that that's dark and Jesus Christ, 692 00:43:38.620 --> 00:43:39.820 it's all whiteness. 693 00:43:39.820 --> 00:43:41.420 And that's what we're invited into. 694 00:43:41.420 --> 00:43:42.900 We've talked about one side of the coin, 695 00:43:42.900 --> 00:43:46.100 which is ourselves not put like laying these things down 696 00:43:46.100 --> 00:43:47.420 and putting something else on. 697 00:43:47.420 --> 00:43:49.700 But the other side of the coin is, okay, 698 00:43:49.700 --> 00:43:52.820 sure, I'm doing my best to do that, but my neighbor isn't. 699 00:43:52.820 --> 00:43:56.260 My neighbor's, he's walking with anger all the time, 700 00:43:56.260 --> 00:43:57.340 bitter house mate. 701 00:43:57.340 --> 00:43:58.940 And he's stealing from me, 702 00:43:58.940 --> 00:44:03.620 and he's doing bad, he's doing bad by me, right? 703 00:44:03.620 --> 00:44:04.780 What's the response? 704 00:44:04.780 --> 00:44:07.620 Am I then entitled to anger? 705 00:44:07.620 --> 00:44:10.820 Or am I then justified in my rage? 706 00:44:10.860 --> 00:44:12.420 Am I allowed to steal back? 707 00:44:13.740 --> 00:44:15.180 But that's not the Christian message. 708 00:44:15.180 --> 00:44:16.660 Maybe this is one or one Christianity, 709 00:44:16.660 --> 00:44:20.260 but maybe it wasn't at this time, forgiveness, right? 710 00:44:20.260 --> 00:44:23.860 There was, there were living by the law. 711 00:44:23.860 --> 00:44:26.700 And the law said that if you do something wrong, 712 00:44:26.700 --> 00:44:27.940 there is punishment. 713 00:44:27.940 --> 00:44:31.460 And you are justified in that, right? 714 00:44:31.460 --> 00:44:34.460 But the kingdom message was different and radical for them. 715 00:44:34.460 --> 00:44:36.140 And maybe if you've grown up in the church, 716 00:44:36.140 --> 00:44:37.660 this is obvious for you. 717 00:44:37.660 --> 00:44:42.660 But as Christians, we have a calling to forgive. 718 00:44:42.660 --> 00:44:45.900 We have a responsibility to forgive. 719 00:44:45.900 --> 00:44:48.460 And that just means whatever it is, 720 00:44:48.460 --> 00:44:51.340 and I say this, whatever it is, 721 00:44:51.340 --> 00:44:53.300 however difficult it is to forgive, 722 00:44:53.300 --> 00:44:56.820 however severe the action of the other person was, 723 00:44:56.820 --> 00:44:59.100 it is your duty as a Christian to forgive. 724 00:44:59.100 --> 00:45:01.540 Now, before you start throwing things at the screen, 725 00:45:01.540 --> 00:45:03.180 that doesn't mean you need to forgive it, 726 00:45:03.180 --> 00:45:06.180 or act unwise when you're acting this person, 727 00:45:06.180 --> 00:45:08.940 but it does mean you are meant to give that up in your heart 728 00:45:08.940 --> 00:45:12.180 because bitterness is consuming. 729 00:45:12.180 --> 00:45:14.420 And we can be consumed by bitterness. 730 00:45:14.420 --> 00:45:16.340 And not only that, it says in scripture 731 00:45:16.340 --> 00:45:19.020 that if we do not forgive, we cannot be forgiven. 732 00:45:19.020 --> 00:45:22.340 We did not receive, we did not deserve the forgiveness 733 00:45:22.340 --> 00:45:23.180 of Christ. 734 00:45:23.180 --> 00:45:26.940 And so when we approach the revelation of our undeservingness, 735 00:45:26.940 --> 00:45:30.580 then we are all so able to pour out our forgiveness 736 00:45:30.580 --> 00:45:31.580 onto others. 737 00:45:31.580 --> 00:45:32.420 That's great. 738 00:45:32.420 --> 00:45:33.300 That's very deep, but. 739 00:45:33.300 --> 00:45:34.140 No, it's pretty. 740 00:45:34.140 --> 00:45:36.500 All in all, we're called to forgive, guys. 741 00:45:36.500 --> 00:45:37.700 Be like half dead in that. 742 00:45:37.700 --> 00:45:38.540 Yeah. 743 00:45:38.540 --> 00:45:41.340 Because it leads to your own damage. 744 00:45:41.340 --> 00:45:43.740 Yeah, if you don't forgive it, just festers. 745 00:45:43.740 --> 00:45:45.140 And then becomes bitterness. 746 00:45:45.140 --> 00:45:50.260 It's why, I think Paul says, don't let the sun go down 747 00:45:50.260 --> 00:45:51.140 on your anger. 748 00:45:51.140 --> 00:45:52.500 Yeah, don't sleep on it. 749 00:45:52.500 --> 00:45:55.700 Don't let your unforgiveness and your resentment 750 00:45:55.700 --> 00:45:56.820 just fester. 751 00:45:56.820 --> 00:45:58.380 Because otherwise, that's really damaging. 752 00:45:58.380 --> 00:46:00.580 He's like, if you're feeling these frustrations, 753 00:46:00.580 --> 00:46:01.980 someone's wronged you. 754 00:46:01.980 --> 00:46:04.340 They're still with it today, so we can be right tomorrow. 755 00:46:04.340 --> 00:46:05.420 But I didn't mention it. 756 00:46:05.420 --> 00:46:07.900 It says in 32, be kind and compassionate 757 00:46:07.900 --> 00:46:11.300 to one another, forgiving each other just as Christ forgave you. 758 00:46:11.300 --> 00:46:14.100 I think you said that so well, but exactly what you said. 759 00:46:14.100 --> 00:46:16.980 It's like, once we know the extent that we've been forgiven, 760 00:46:16.980 --> 00:46:20.620 then actually we can extend that grace so much more as well. 761 00:46:20.620 --> 00:46:23.140 And that's not saying we're all terrible people, but actually, 762 00:46:23.140 --> 00:46:26.940 once we understand the weight of what Jesus has done for us, 763 00:46:26.940 --> 00:46:29.300 then we can be moved to do that. 764 00:46:29.300 --> 00:46:31.140 And it's not easy, sometimes it takes a very long time 765 00:46:31.140 --> 00:46:34.260 to forgive people, but if we're on that journey, 766 00:46:34.260 --> 00:46:36.300 we want to do that. 767 00:46:36.300 --> 00:46:37.380 Give it a go. 768 00:46:37.380 --> 00:46:39.220 Guys, this has been awesome. 769 00:46:39.220 --> 00:46:43.660 Is there any final points that you can say in about 30 seconds? 770 00:46:43.660 --> 00:46:47.980 My only final point is don't tap out now in the series. 771 00:46:47.980 --> 00:46:49.580 Carry on because it gets juicy. 772 00:46:49.580 --> 00:46:50.620 Gotta get juicy. 773 00:46:50.620 --> 00:46:51.220 It gets good. 774 00:46:51.220 --> 00:46:52.060 Sorry, absolutely. 775 00:46:52.060 --> 00:46:54.780 It gets quite controversial, and then it gets really juicy. 776 00:46:54.780 --> 00:46:57.700 So if you want to stay for the controversy, yeah. 777 00:46:57.700 --> 00:46:58.700 Go on, it's fun. 778 00:46:58.700 --> 00:47:00.140 Oh, no, I'm really trying to think of an emoji. 779 00:47:00.140 --> 00:47:01.220 It's what I'm actually trying to do. 780 00:47:01.220 --> 00:47:02.740 Oh, you looked really deep in thought. 781 00:47:02.740 --> 00:47:04.420 So I just thought you had a great deal of time. 782 00:47:04.420 --> 00:47:05.260 No, I was really deep. 783 00:47:05.260 --> 00:47:06.260 I wasn't listening at all. 784 00:47:06.260 --> 00:47:08.860 I was trying to think of an emoji for them to comment at the end. 785 00:47:08.860 --> 00:47:09.660 Have you come to a community? 786 00:47:09.660 --> 00:47:12.420 The only one I thought of was because we've focused a lot on 787 00:47:12.420 --> 00:47:14.300 how our brains are developing and how we can form it. 788 00:47:14.300 --> 00:47:15.860 It's a brain emoji. 789 00:47:15.860 --> 00:47:16.860 Oh, that is. 790 00:47:16.860 --> 00:47:17.860 Leave a brain emoji. 791 00:47:17.860 --> 00:47:18.860 Leave a brain emoji. 792 00:47:18.860 --> 00:47:20.740 Leave a brain emoji as far as possible. 793 00:47:20.740 --> 00:47:21.580 Guys, bless you. 794 00:47:21.580 --> 00:47:22.540 Thank you for tuning in. 795 00:47:22.540 --> 00:47:25.500 As Mateo said, do check out the next couple ones. 796 00:47:25.540 --> 00:47:28.020 And if you've missed any, do go back 797 00:47:28.020 --> 00:47:30.740 because they were really good and super helpful. 798 00:47:30.740 --> 00:47:33.460 And we will see you next time. 799 00:47:33.460 --> 00:47:34.460 Peace out.
