00:00:10.480 It's called Blueprints for Chrysidom 2.0.
00:00:13.960 Our early bird pricing ends on Thursday, August 31st.

00:00:23.680 We hope to see you at the conference in March.
00:00:25.600 the first thing that i i couldn't help but think of as i was reading the text and preparing to
00:00:33.840 preach this lord's day is about jesus here's joshua and if i were him i would be very tempted
00:00:43.200 to let gibeon go but they would send messengers to me and say come and defend us wait come and
00:00:50.580 defend you? Didn't you lie to me just a few days ago? Didn't you trick me? I'm not going to come 0.91
00:01:02.100 and defend you. But that's not the way that Jesus engages us. We've all lied. We've all sinned and
00:01:12.920 fallen short of the glory of God. And whether we've been walking faithfully with Christ for
00:01:19.840 five minutes or 50 years. When you get Christ, you get all of Christ, all his devotion,
00:01:30.760 all his protection, all his commitment, everything. And the first thing that Jesus saves us from
00:01:39.640 is actually the wrath of the triune God. But secondly, beyond that point, it is also true
00:01:49.560 that God spares the righteous
00:01:51.740 not only from God's just wrath against us
00:01:55.280 by Christ atoning for our sin
00:01:57.620 and his righteousness being imputed
00:01:59.660 to our account through faith,
00:02:01.860 but in addition to God saving us from himself,
00:02:06.760 God also saves us from our fellow man
00:02:09.900 who would seek to devour us. 0.99
00:02:14.120 Jesus said,
00:02:14.860 I'm sending you out like sheep among wolves.
00:02:19.560 that when someone comes into allegiance with Christ, 0.93
00:02:23.460 just like Gibeon did with Joshua,
00:02:27.320 those who used to be their friends,
00:02:30.580 like the five kings of the Amorites,
00:02:33.400 all of a sudden become their foes.
00:02:37.780 Gibeon gains an ally that they previously did not have,
00:02:41.940 namely Joshua and Israel.
00:02:44.780 But in gaining Joshua and Israel as an ally,
00:02:47.840 notice that the immediate consequence
00:02:50.320 is that all their previous allies become their enemies.
00:02:55.480 And so it is when a man follows after Christ.
00:03:01.880 That in taking Christ as our friend,
00:03:06.440 we declare war against the world.
00:03:11.380 When Christ becomes your friend,
00:03:14.880 the world becomes your enemy.
00:03:17.840 Those who used to have some kind of relationship, affiliation, even genuine or what appeared to be genuine affection, devotion, and commitment towards you will turn on you in a moment.
00:03:34.920 Those who used to be your friends will become your enemies.
00:03:42.040 Jesus promises this.
00:03:44.320 he says do not be deceived
00:03:47.640 a student is not above his teacher
00:03:49.660 nor the slave
00:03:50.660 above his master
00:03:53.140 if they hated me
00:03:54.920 they will hate you
00:03:57.040 on account of me 1.00
00:03:58.520 the five Amorite kings
00:04:01.120 hated Gibeon on account of Joshua 0.99
00:04:03.400 and so too the kings of this earth 0.83
00:04:06.200 those who are not in allegiance to Christ
00:04:09.300 will hate you
00:04:11.400 on account of Jesus 0.99
00:04:13.200 and they will attempt to devour you. 0.99
