00:05:53.042 --> 00:05:55.578
I'd still stay mad. “oh, these are so beautiful. well, thank you,
00:05:55.645 --> 00:05:58.648
“oh, these are so beautiful. well, thank you, i guess i love you.”

>> joyce: jesus is our dozen of red roses. >> [audience applauding]
00:06:09.459 --> 00:06:13.062
>> joyce: see, jesus stands
00:06:14.263 --> 00:06:16.499
>> joyce: see, jesus stands before god as our propitiation.
00:06:16.566 --> 00:06:19.769
>> joyce: see, jesus stands before god as our propitiation. and god's anger over
00:06:19.836 --> 00:06:21.270
Before god as our propitiation. and god's anger over our sin ceases to be.
00:06:21.337 --> 00:06:26.309
And god's anger over our sin ceases to be. because jesus paid it all.
00:06:26.375 --> 00:06:29.879
Our sin ceases to be. because jesus paid it all. >> [audience laughing]
00:06:29.946 --> 00:06:31.981
Because jesus paid it all. >> [audience laughing] he paid it all.
00:06:32.048 --> 00:06:34.417
>> [audience laughing] he paid it all. >> joyce: and you know,
00:06:34.484 --> 00:06:35.251
He paid it all. >> joyce: and you know, something that absolutely
00:06:35.318 --> 00:06:36.219
>> joyce: and you know, something that absolutely amazes me is in isaiah 53,
00:06:36.285 --> 00:06:39.889
Something that absolutely amazes me is in isaiah 53, when it says that he became sin.
00:06:39.956 --> 00:06:44.627
Amazes me is in isaiah 53, when it says that he became sin. he didn't just take our sin
00:06:44.694 --> 00:06:46.229
When it says that he became sin. he didn't just take our sin upon himself, he became sin.
00:06:46.295 --> 00:06:49.799
He didn't just take our sin upon himself, he became sin. and i'm still trying to wrap
00:06:49.866 --> 00:06:51.434
Upon himself, he became sin. and i'm still trying to wrap my head around how horrible
00:06:51.501 --> 00:06:54.537
And i'm still trying to wrap my head around how horrible that had to be for holy jesus.
00:06:54.604 --> 00:07:01.110
My head around how horrible that had to be for holy jesus. that sin marred him to the point
00:07:01.177 --> 00:07:03.479
That had to be for holy jesus. that sin marred him to the point where he was unrecognizable
00:07:03.546 --> 00:07:06.782
That sin marred him to the point where he was unrecognizable and god couldn't even look
00:07:06.849 --> 00:07:08.384
Where he was unrecognizable and god couldn't even look at him because of that sin.
00:07:08.451 --> 00:07:13.122
That's when jesus said,
00:07:13.189 --> 00:07:14.090
That's when jesus said, "why have you forsaken me?"
00:07:14.156 --> 00:07:17.326
That's when jesus said, "why have you forsaken me?" at that moment, he was
00:07:17.393 --> 00:07:20.196
"why have you forsaken me?" at that moment, he was taking on and paying for
00:07:20.263 --> 00:07:22.131
At that moment, he was taking on and paying for our sins and becoming our
00:07:22.198 --> 00:07:24.534
Taking on and paying for our sins and becoming our dozen red roses that we can
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.469
Our sins and becoming our dozen red roses that we can always present before god.
00:07:26.536 --> 00:07:28.671
Dozen red roses that we can always present before god. i think i'll take them
00:07:28.738 --> 00:07:29.405
Always present before god. i think i'll take them home with me.
00:07:29.472 --> 00:07:30.072
I think i'll take them home with me. >> [audience laughing]
00:07:30.139 --> 00:07:31.974
>> joyce: you know, we would
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:37.713
>> joyce: you know, we would probably think that words like
00:07:37.780 --> 00:07:38.748
>> joyce: you know, we would probably think that words like these are more doctrinal words.
00:07:38.814 --> 00:07:40.449
Probably think that words like these are more doctrinal words. and really they are.
00:07:40.516 --> 00:07:41.484
These are more doctrinal words. and really they are. these are the things, if you
00:07:41.551 --> 00:07:42.518
And really they are. these are the things, if you were just go to some kind
00:07:42.585 --> 00:07:48.591
These are the things, if you were just go to some kind of seminary to learn doctrine,
00:07:48.658 --> 00:07:51.794
Were just go to some kind of seminary to learn doctrine, these are a lot of the words
00:07:51.861 --> 00:07:53.029
Of seminary to learn doctrine, these are a lot of the words that you would learn about.
00:07:53.095 --> 00:07:55.231
These are a lot of the words that you would learn about. but it's not so important
00:07:55.298 --> 00:07:56.365
That you would learn about. but it's not so important that we know the words
00:07:56.432 --> 00:07:57.667
But it's not so important that we know the words as it is that we know
00:07:57.733 --> 00:07:58.668
That we know the words as it is that we know what they've done for us.
00:07:58.734 --> 00:08:02.572
As it is that we know what they've done for us. and so today, i wanna take
00:08:02.638 --> 00:08:03.873
What they've done for us. and so today, i wanna take a little bit of doctrine
00:08:03.940 --> 00:08:05.041
And so today, i wanna take a little bit of doctrine and make it very
00:08:05.107 --> 00:08:05.675
A little bit of doctrine and make it very practical for you.
00:08:05.741 --> 00:08:08.544
Because there's so much that
00:08:10.246 --> 00:08:12.782
Because there's so much that god has provided for you that
00:08:12.848 --> 00:08:15.284
Because there's so much that god has provided for you that you're not taking advantage of.
00:08:15.351 --> 00:08:17.186
God has provided for you that you're not taking advantage of. in ephesians 2:10, it says that
00:08:17.253 --> 00:08:19.221
You're not taking advantage of. in ephesians 2:10, it says that we are god's masterpiece.
00:08:19.288 --> 00:08:23.025
In ephesians 2:10, it says that we are god's masterpiece. imagine that.
00:08:23.092 --> 00:08:25.027
We are god's masterpiece. imagine that. see, god made you,
00:08:25.094 --> 00:08:28.064
Imagine that. see, god made you, he made you in your mother's
00:08:28.130 --> 00:08:29.732
See, god made you, he made you in your mother's womb with his own hands.
00:08:29.799 --> 00:08:33.302
He made you in your mother's womb with his own hands. and the amplified bible says
00:08:33.369 --> 00:08:34.971
Womb with his own hands. and the amplified bible says carefully and intricately,
00:08:35.037 --> 00:08:37.974
And the amplified bible says carefully and intricately, you're no mistake.
00:08:38.040 --> 00:08:41.677
Carefully and intricately, you're no mistake. created in his image and
00:08:41.744 --> 00:08:46.282
You're no mistake. created in his image and predestined to be turned
00:08:46.349 --> 00:08:50.252
Created in his image and predestined to be turned into the image of jesus christ.
00:08:50.319 --> 00:08:52.822
Predestined to be turned into the image of jesus christ. now, you know, i used to get
00:08:52.888 --> 00:08:56.626
Very confused because
00:08:56.692 --> 00:08:58.027
Very confused because i would hear all these
00:08:58.094 --> 00:08:59.662
Very confused because i would hear all these wonderful things that i was,
00:08:59.729 --> 00:09:03.332
I would hear all these wonderful things that i was, “well, yeah, if i'm so good,
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:04.700
Wonderful things that i was, “well, yeah, if i'm so good, why am i so bad?”
00:09:04.767 --> 00:09:07.937
“well, yeah, if i'm so good, why am i so bad?” and see, what i didn't
00:09:08.004 --> 00:09:08.804
Why am i so bad?” and see, what i didn't understand, and i'll make this
00:09:08.871 --> 00:09:12.008
And see, what i didn't understand, and i'll make this plainer hopefully as we go on,
00:09:12.074 --> 00:09:13.776
Understand, and i'll make this plainer hopefully as we go on, is that we are all,
00:09:13.843 --> 00:09:17.613
Plainer hopefully as we go on, is that we are all, when we're born again,
00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:19.949
Is that we are all, when we're born again, immediately when jesus
00:09:20.016 --> 00:09:21.517
When we're born again, immediately when jesus forgives your sins and comes
00:09:21.584 --> 00:09:23.352
Immediately when jesus forgives your sins and comes to live on the inside of you
00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:24.820
Forgives your sins and comes to live on the inside of you through the holy spirit,
00:09:24.887 --> 00:09:27.523
To live on the inside of you through the holy spirit, you are immediately made
00:09:27.590 --> 00:09:32.261
Through the holy spirit, you are immediately made all these things:
00:09:32.328 --> 00:09:32.962
You are immediately made all these things: you're redeemed,
00:09:33.029 --> 00:09:33.629
All these things: you're redeemed, you're reconciled,
00:09:33.696 --> 00:09:34.463
You're redeemed, you're reconciled, you're become holy.
00:09:34.530 --> 00:09:36.565
You're reconciled, you're become holy. "holy--i'm holy?
00:09:36.632 --> 00:09:39.168
You're become holy. "holy--i'm holy? well, what's wrong with me?"
00:09:39.235 --> 00:09:41.037
"holy--i'm holy? well, what's wrong with me?" well, here's the thing,
00:09:41.103 --> 00:09:42.338
Well, what's wrong with me?" well, here's the thing, god puts everything in us,
00:09:42.405 --> 00:09:45.975
Well, here's the thing, god puts everything in us, and as we live our life,
00:09:46.042 --> 00:09:48.044
God puts everything in us, and as we live our life, we are becoming
00:09:48.110 --> 00:09:49.311
And as we live our life, we are becoming what we already are.

00:09:55.317 --> 00:09:58.354
Way i know how to say it. i am holy, but every day i'm becoming holy.
00:09:58.421 --> 00:10:01.023
I am holy, but every day i'm becoming holy. so god gives us the seed
00:10:01.090 --> 00:10:02.692
I'm becoming holy. so god gives us the seed of what we need, and he gives
00:10:02.758 --> 00:10:04.960
So god gives us the seed of what we need, and he gives us the holy spirit, who

Of what we need, and he gives us the holy spirit, who is the agent in sanctification.

Is the agent in sanctification. and he works with us all throughout our life
00:10:10.499 --> 00:10:11.834
And he works with us all throughout our life to help us in reality,
00:10:11.901 --> 00:10:15.571
Throughout our life to help us in reality, produce so the world
00:10:15.638 --> 00:10:17.807
To help us in reality, produce so the world can see what he has
00:10:17.873 --> 00:10:19.341
Produce so the world can see what he has already made us to be.
00:10:19.408 --> 00:10:21.010
Can see what he has already made us to be. but if you don't believe
00:10:21.077 --> 00:10:22.378
Already made us to be. but if you don't believe that you are that,
00:10:22.445 --> 00:10:23.446
But if you don't believe that you are that, then you will never become that.

For everybody to understand? so you, you know, you can't see it and you don't always

So you, you know, you can't see it and you don't always act like it, but you are it.

I've got it, but i'm getting it. to show what a masterpiece we all are, i studied
00:10:56.412 --> 00:11:00.516
To show what a masterpiece we all are, i studied and looked up many things
00:11:00.583 --> 00:11:02.017
We all are, i studied and looked up many things that god has to say about us.
00:11:02.084 --> 00:11:05.454
And i didn't find a bunch
00:11:09.625 --> 00:11:10.726
And i didn't find a bunch of bad stuff.
00:11:10.793 --> 00:11:13.996
And i didn't find a bunch of bad stuff. come on, you go ahead and look
00:11:14.063 --> 00:11:15.164
Of bad stuff. come on, you go ahead and look for some bad thing that
00:11:15.231 --> 00:11:16.298
Come on, you go ahead and look for some bad thing that god says about you.
00:11:16.365 --> 00:11:17.466
For some bad thing that god says about you. you look and see if he says
00:11:17.533 --> 00:11:18.734
God says about you. you look and see if he says you'll never amount to anything.
00:11:18.801 --> 00:11:22.371
You look and see if he says you'll never amount to anything. you look and see
00:11:22.438 --> 00:11:23.372
You'll never amount to anything. you look and see if he says you're no good.
00:11:23.439 --> 00:11:25.908
That you're a failure.
00:11:26.442 --> 00:11:29.044
That you're a failure. nothing like that.
00:11:29.111 --> 00:11:30.179
That you're a failure. nothing like that. but man, he said some
00:11:30.246 --> 00:11:32.948
Nothing like that. but man, he said some of the greatest things about us.
00:11:33.015 --> 00:11:37.186
But man, he said some of the greatest things about us. i gotta read this to you.
00:11:37.253 --> 00:11:39.588
Now, this is all in christ.
00:11:39.655 --> 00:11:41.791
Now, this is all in christ. those two little words all
00:11:41.857 --> 00:11:44.059
Now, this is all in christ. those two little words all throughout the new testament.
00:11:44.126 --> 00:11:46.295
Those two little words all throughout the new testament. see, we are taken out
00:11:46.362 --> 00:11:49.231
Throughout the new testament. see, we are taken out of one family.
00:11:49.298 --> 00:11:51.300
See, we are taken out of one family. the bible says in john 8:44
00:11:51.367 --> 00:11:53.803
Of one family. the bible says in john 8:44 that the devil was our father
00:11:53.869 --> 00:11:58.274
The bible says in john 8:44 that the devil was our father and jesus bought us back
00:11:58.340 --> 00:12:00.976
That the devil was our father and jesus bought us back with his blood.
00:12:01.043 --> 00:12:01.777
And jesus bought us back with his blood. that's redemption.
00:12:01.844 --> 00:12:04.413
With his blood. that's redemption. and we were translated into
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.182
That's redemption. and we were translated into a new family, the family of god.
00:12:06.248 --> 00:12:10.085
And we were translated into a new family, the family of god. and the bible says we were
00:12:10.152 --> 00:12:11.487
A new family, the family of god. and the bible says we were adopted by god.
00:12:11.554 --> 00:12:13.956
And the bible says we were adopted by god. now, why does it say
00:12:14.023 --> 00:12:16.258
Adopted by god. now, why does it say we were adopted?
00:12:16.325 --> 00:12:19.094
Now, why does it say we were adopted? why didn't it just say we became
00:12:19.161 --> 00:12:20.396
A member of god's family?

A member of god's family? well, in the roman culture,
00:12:23.032 --> 00:12:24.366
A member of god's family? well, in the roman culture, and jesus spoke a lot--

Well, in the roman culture, and jesus spoke a lot-- cultural things that

Cultural things that they would understand. and in the roman culture,
00:12:30.873 --> 00:12:32.107
They would understand. and in the roman culture, now get this: a father
00:12:32.174 --> 00:12:34.443
And in the roman culture, now get this: a father could disinherit his natural
00:12:34.510 --> 00:12:37.079
Now get this: a father could disinherit his natural born son, but it was against

Could disinherit his natural born son, but it was against the law for him to disinherit
00:12:39.715 --> 00:12:42.218
Born son, but it was against the law for him to disinherit a child he adopted.
00:12:42.284 --> 00:12:52.761
The law for him to disinherit a child he adopted. >> [audience applauding]
00:12:52.828 --> 00:12:57.333
A child he adopted. >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: so that's why
00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:58.067
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: so that's why he said, "we're adopted."
00:12:58.133 --> 00:13:00.703

00:13:00.769 --> 00:13:03.172
He said, "we're adopted." he's letting us know, "i'll never let go of you.
00:13:03.239 --> 00:13:06.542
He's letting us know, "i'll never let go of you. i'll never disinherit you.
00:13:06.609 --> 00:13:09.011
"i'll never let go of you. i'll never disinherit you. i'll never kick you out
00:13:09.078 --> 00:13:10.079
I'll never disinherit you. i'll never kick you out of the family."
00:13:10.145 --> 00:13:12.514
I'll never kick you out of the family." he could actually take
00:13:12.581 --> 00:13:13.716
Of the family." he could actually take a natural born son and put
00:13:13.782 --> 00:13:16.118
He could actually take a natural born son and put him out of the family entirely,
00:13:16.185 --> 00:13:17.887
A natural born son and put him out of the family entirely, if he wanted to.
00:13:17.953 --> 00:13:19.188
Him out of the family entirely, if he wanted to. but if he was a son that
00:13:19.255 --> 00:13:20.589
If he wanted to. but if he was a son that was adopted, it was against
00:13:20.656 --> 00:13:22.391
But if he was a son that was adopted, it was against the law for him to do that.
00:13:22.458 --> 00:13:25.461
Was adopted, it was against the law for him to do that. so you know what?
00:13:25.527 --> 00:13:26.462
The law for him to do that. so you know what? god is just stuck with you.

Amen? it always thrills me when i find out that jesus was
00:13:36.872 --> 00:13:40.075
It always thrills me when i find out that jesus was saying something culturally.
00:13:40.142 --> 00:13:44.546
I find out that jesus was saying something culturally. and so we don't get the fullness
00:13:44.613 --> 00:13:46.382
Saying something culturally. and so we don't get the fullness of why he said that.
00:13:46.448 --> 00:13:47.583
And so we don't get the fullness of why he said that. "oh, that's nice, i'm adopted."
00:13:47.650 --> 00:13:49.251
Of why he said that. "oh, that's nice, i'm adopted." but now i get it.

And you would hate chocolate. that's why we have to be careful about turning things into

That's why we have to be careful about turning things into “have tos” when actually deep
00:21:19.534 --> 00:21:22.904
About turning things into “have tos” when actually deep down inside, we already want to.
00:21:22.971 --> 00:21:25.874
“have tos” when actually deep down inside, we already want to. but if the devil can convince

But if the devil can convince us that we have to, then pretty soon we're not gonna want to.
00:21:29.177 --> 00:21:32.748
Us that we have to, then pretty soon we're not gonna want to. because we're intended
00:21:32.814 --> 00:21:33.815
Soon we're not gonna want to. because we're intended to be free, and that means
00:21:33.882 --> 00:21:35.784
Because we're intended to be free, and that means you do things by choice.
00:21:35.851 --> 00:21:39.087
Why would you not want--
00:21:39.154 --> 00:21:40.822
